Problem

Pressing ArrowUp in an empty composer recalls the last prompt you sent, but any thread or machine mention in it disappears. Send Implementation agent in @Correct invoice charge categories in review finished its turn… and recall it, and you get Implementation agent in finished its turn….

recallableComposerPrompt strips every context chip, because a chip with no record in the draft would render as an unavailable reference. Thread and machine mentions are the exception: their records are self-contained, they travel in the message's context.records, and the draft already stores them (threadContexts, environmentContexts).

Change

• buildComposerPromptHistoryEntries keeps a thread or machine chip when the message carries its record. Each entry records the mentions its text still references. Every other chip (image, file, terminal, review comment, preview annotation) is still stripped, and so is a thread chip whose record is missing, so recall never produces an unavailable chip.
• The ArrowUp/ArrowDown handler writes those records with setThreadContexts / setEnvironmentContexts together with the prompt. Stepping to an entry without mentions, or past the newest one, clears them, so no stale record is left behind for the send path.

Only the prompt-history path changes. Rewinding a sent message (#30955) and editing a queued one (#30889, #30874) are the other two paths in this family; they are separate open PRs and this one doesn't touch them. Mobile has no prompt recall. Desktop uses this web code.

Scope and approval

This is the up-arrow recall path of the defect in #30850 (a restored message loses its thread mentions). #30955 explicitly leaves this path unchanged. It's a small, focused fix for an obvious data-loss bug: recall now returns what the user sent. It adds no setting or contract change and leaves the rest of recall's behavior as it was.

Verification

• Extended composerPromptHistory.test.ts: one message with a thread chip, a machine chip, a thread chip with no record, an image chip, and an extra unreferenced thread record. The thread and machine chips and their records come back; the other two chips and the extra record don't. This fails on main with Agent in finished on . See and no records. vp test run on the file: 19 passed.
• vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests and React compiler all pass.
• Web dev app with the free Replay provider: sent a message mentioning another thread through the @ picker, then pressed ArrowUp in the empty composer. The chip comes back resolved (aria-label="Thread, Correct invoice charge categories in review", not "Unavailable context"). Stepping to an older mention-free prompt removes the thread record from the draft, stepping back restores it, and ArrowDown past the newest entry clears both prompt and record (Send disabled). The editor round-trip keeps the recalled text identical, so history browsing continues across the chip.

Same thread, same state; only the source differs (main vs this branch):

Not checked: the packaged Electron app (it runs this web code), machine mentions in the real client (covered by the unit test only), and relay/tunnel connections (the change is client-only and uses records already present in the thread projection).

Prompt history now retains thread and environment context records referenced by prompt chips. The composer command-key handler restores those records when navigating history.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 17509

Recalling a prompt with ArrowUp now keeps thread and machine mentions. In a narrow case, undoing a recall may bring back a mention chip that has lost its linked record. This is a small edge-case issue and is unlikely to block merging.

Explanation

The title "fix(web): up-arrow recall keeps thread and machine mentions" matches the main change. The raw summary and objectives show that ArrowUp prompt recall now keeps thread and machine chips when their context records exist, and clears those records when stepping through history. The title uses a conventional commit prefix and names the specific behavior. It does not cover the other recall paths, which the description says are out of scope, but the title does not claim they are covered.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. The Problem section gives a clear reproduction and the expected behavior. The Change section explains the fix and what stays stripped. The Scope section explains why the change is a bug fix, links related issue #30850, and explains the excluded paths. The Verification section lists focused tests, the check run, and a manual web test with observed results, and it states what was not checked. The model and harness are named at the end, as the template asks. The Scope section does not link a maintainer request, and the description does not contain a direct issue link for the bug itself beyond #30850. These gaps are minor.

Cover mention restoration when navigating onto a mention-bearing entry.

The new case checks only the built entry. No assertion checks the mentions that stepComposerPromptHistory returns when ArrowUp or ArrowDown lands on that entry. A regression that drops thread or machine records during navigation would still pass this file. Extend this case to step onto the entry and assert both mention arrays. This follows the testing rule to extend an existing case rather than add a new one.

🧪 Suggested test addition

     expect(entry).toEqual({
       id: "m1",
       prompt: `Agent in ${threadChip} finished on ${machineChip}. See`,
       mentions: { threadContexts: [thread], environmentContexts: [machine] },
     });

• on github/main (d91915db9e), sending a prompt with a resolved thread mention and pressing arrow-up in the empty composer drops the mention.
• on this exact head, the same app-created conversation recalls the resolved chip. resending it with a request to read the linked thread preserves its context record in server storage. codex completed t3-code.t3_thread_read against that thread and quoted its assistant reply, "recall source ready."
• navigating to an older plain prompt removes the chip; navigating forward restores it; going past the newest entry clears the composer and disables send. multiline history navigation was exercised from the first/last line.

Retain recalled thread and environment records before history recall overwrites them.

Recalling a prompt replaces the draft's thread and environment records at composerCommandKey.ts:153-154 without saving the displaced records. The prompt write uses setContent, which the editor records as an undo step. Undoing a recall can restore an earlier entry's chip reference after its record was removed. ChatComposer restores only records held in retainedContextPayloads, so the restored reference has no record to attach.

Store the displaced thread and environment records in retainedContextPayloads before replacePromptFromHistory overwrites them. This needs the retained payload maps passed into the handler input. Leave the recall behavior otherwise unchanged.

Not shown:

• Machine/environment mentions were not exercised: the scenario had only one connected environment.
• Base history navigation after the first recall was not exercised because the scenario stopped at the reproduced missing-mention assertion; all subsequent navigation checks passed on head.
