Problem

The webhook delivery log keeps the first 64 Ki characters (WEBHOOK_DELIVERY_LOG_PROMPT_LIMIT) of the prompt a delivery rendered. ScheduledTaskService cut it with .slice(0, limit), which counts UTF-16 code units. When the cut fell between the two halves of an emoji, the high surrogate was written to SQLite on its own, and SQLite stored it as U+FFFD. Settings → Scheduled tasks → a webhook task's delivery then shows a rendered prompt that ends in �, a character the request never contained.

Accepted prompts can be up to 120,000 characters (PROVIDER_SEND_TURN_MAX_INPUT_CHARS), so any prompt between 64 Ki and 120,000 characters is cut. A template with {{body}} or {{request}} and a large GitHub push or pull request payload with emoji in it can hit this.

Call path: triggerWebhook → renderWebhookPrompt → log("accepted" | "dispatch_failed", { renderedPrompt }) → the delivery insert in recordDelivery. The coalesced-dispatch path writes the same column with an UPDATE ... rendered_prompt = ... and had the same cut.

Change

A small deliveryLogPrompt helper in ScheduledTaskService.ts cuts at the limit and drops a trailing high surrogate, so the logged prompt stops at the last whole character. Both places that write rendered_prompt use it. The prompt the agent receives is unchanged and still complete. This is the same fix #26070 made for the logged request body in the same delivery row.

Scope and approval

This is a very small fix for an obvious bug, so it has no prior issue: one helper used by the two writes of one delivery-log column, plus one focused test. It does not change what runs, what the agent sees, or any contract. Merged precedent: #26070 (logged body), #29633, #29844.

Verification

Added drops an emoji split by the delivery log's prompt limit to apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.webhook.test.ts. A webhook task with the prompt {{body.text}} gets a body whose rendered prompt has an emoji's high surrogate as code unit 65,535. The test reads the delivery back from the log.

Before the fix (on main):

FAIL  src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.webhook.test.ts > drops an emoji split by the delivery log's prompt limit
AssertionError: expected 'aa�' to equal 'aaa'
Tests  1 failed | 2 passed | 55 skipped (58)

After the fix:

Test Files  1 passed (1)
     Tests  58 passed (58)

The existing bounds coalesced prompt logs ... test, which checks the coalesced path still logs exactly 64 Ki characters, passes. Targeted vp lint and vp fmt --check on apps/server/src/scheduledTasks and effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit in apps/server are clean.

Not checked: the delivery dialog in a running client. The server change only affects the stored text that dialog already shows. The coalesced UPDATE path has no emoji-specific test of its own; it uses the same helper.

…n a replacement character

The delivery log keeps the first 64 Ki code units of a webhook run's rendered
prompt. When that cut fell between the two halves of an emoji, SQLite stored the
lone high surrogate as U+FFFD, so the logged prompt ended in a character the
request never had. Drop the half emoji instead, as the logged body already does.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at c16af9b

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Webhook delivery logs now avoid splitting an emoji when truncating long prompts. The change is confined to logged previews and leaves the prompt used for execution unchanged.

Walkthrough

Webhook delivery logs now use a shared prompt-truncation helper in both initial delivery recording and pending-webhook dispatch. The helper avoids ending a truncated prompt with a high surrogate. A regression test checks truncation at an emoji.

Changes: Webhook prompt log truncation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Safe prompt truncation and coverage
apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.ts, apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.webhook.test.ts
A shared helper backs up one UTF-16 code unit when the truncation boundary falls after a high surrogate. Both webhook logging paths use the helper. A regression test checks the logged prompt length and ending.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to c16af

Both delivery-log paths use safe truncation. A coalesced regression test would improve coverage; no merge-blocking defect was established.

Cover split emojis in pending delivery logs.

The new test exercises the immediate insert. A direct-slicing regression in the pending update can still store a replacement character without failing the coalesced-log tests.

Closing this to save review time. It fixes a real but cosmetic defect, and I'd rather the queue hold fixes with a bigger effect on users. The branch stays on the fork if anyone wants it later.
