fix(client-runtime): recover thread list updates after stream defects - #33244
A raw Effect defect permanently stopped the environment shell subscription, leaving thread-list status stale while thread detail could keep streaming. The shell now reports its existing synchronization error and resubscribes on the next reconnect or foreground wakeup, matching thread-detail recovery.
The regression starts with a completed row, fails the stream, reconnects from its saved cursor, and receives a running row with the error cleared. It fails on current main and passes with the handler. The production change is one line; the remaining diff tests status and reconnect behavior. This fits the small, focused bug-fix exception: it repairs a demonstrated subscription-lifetime failure through the existing recovery hook, without changing product defaults or adding a workflow.
Validation at head 0446e4fa468ed0269c1b6ad8b3d72532cc1d2ba9, rebased on main 095611d1b55930ba23e22068b6659df4c4b53f83: vp run check:changed passed, including format, lint, knip, seven affected package typechecks and all 29 shell synchronization tests. The regression test waits for the shell's error state before reconnecting; without the onDefect line that state never arrives and the test fails. The rebase was mechanical: main's cold-start harness already exposes shellState and reconnect, so the test reads h.shellState and the harness is unchanged. The runtime captures below were recorded at the earlier head 61517c636904ee25d10fad80680d690eae47bed5, whose production change is identical.
Fresh November 12 captures use a real Chromium 157 client, this checkout's isolated backend, and free Replay todo-list turns. Both use the same thread, CLI prompt go and view. Identical temporary instrumentation injects Effect.die into the raw shell stream before the RPC recovery handlers, then closes the actual WebSocket. The baseline removes only the new handler, which current main still lacks. The after runtime retains it. Replay pacing is identical, fixture diffs differ only by the handler, and all instrumentation was restored byte-for-byte afterward.
Before: after the controlled defect and actual socket reconnect, detail continues Working while the sidebar stays idle.

After: the same defect and actual socket reconnect restore Working in the sidebar without reloading. The turn then completes normally.
web-final-after.mp4
Viewing a completed web thread clears its Done badge. These captures prove stale-idle-to-Working recovery, rather than reproducing the reporter's exact native Done badge.
Native before/after pairs passed November 12 at the same head 61517c636904ee25d10fad80680d690eae47bed5. Each pair reuses its seeded thread, view, CLI prompt go and real free Replay pipeline. The baseline removes only the handler. Identical temporary instrumentation injects a raw shell defect; the isolated server then closes the actual native WebSocket with code 1012. The backend and Replay turn keep running. Logs show one fault per unchanged JavaScript runtime, an actual replacement connection, and no app reload or relaunch. All fixture files were restored byte-for-byte.
On every baseline the list remains idle while detail keeps Working. Every fixed run resubscribes from its saved cursor, restores Working in the list, and completes normally. The primary agent inspected all six recording contact sheets, the iPhone's expanded row, completion screenshots and proof logs, and verified all 135 artifact sizes and SHA-256 hashes. One stale-Metro diagnostic attempt is excluded; each passing case initialized a fresh cleared Metro bundle before its trigger.

Fresh matching dev clients were built for this head on macOS 27.0.1 with Xcode 27.1 build 27A9275. iOS was 2.3.0 build 1, arm64, native fingerprint 1cddd6f39de860e29f495ecff3e3c429471a7c04. Android was 2.3.0 versionCode 1, arm64-v8a, fingerprint bd8d0a6e6a13823519f802fea2319e1db978edf4. Input diagnostics confirm the tablet's alphabetic hardware keyboard.
Required coverage is the reporter's native iPad and iPhone, the initial Android Pixel Tablet with a hardware keyboard, and web from the changed shared runtime. All have controlled before/after proof at that earlier head. A fresh independent Codex review reconstructed all four fixture pairs and checked the public evidence. The native evidence finding is resolved, with no remaining review findings.
Not shown: the reporter's actual defect trigger, exact frozen Done badge, or T3 Connect latency. Selecting a completed thread clears Done, so these runs prove stale-idle-to-Working recovery. This PR fixes a demonstrated recovery gap and does not establish the original report's cause.

Walkthrough
The shell subscription now reports stream defects, waits using an incrementing retry delay, and enqueues a reload. Successfully applied batches reset the defect retry counter. A test checks error reporting, reconnect behavior, and automatic resubscription.

Summary
Defect handling and retry packages/client-runtime/src/state/shell.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/shell-sync.test.ts
The shell subscription reports defects, waits before enqueuing a reload, and resets the defect retry counter after a successfully applied batch. The test checks the synchronization error, reconnect from the latest sequence, error clearing after an update, and resubscription after 250 ms.
This change restores thread-list updates after a stream defect by resubscribing with a backoff. A regression test covers the defect, reconnect and retry flow. No outstanding merge-blocking risk remains.

Explanation
The title names the primary change: the shell subscription now recovers thread list updates after a stream defect. The raw summary confirms the shell.ts defect handling with a retry counter, delay, and reload request, plus a regression test. The title uses the conventional commit form and is specific. The PR objectives describe the same change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It gives the problem, the change, the scope with a linked issue and a bug-fix exception rationale, and detailed verification with tests, captures, and device evidence. It also states what was not checked: the reporter's exact defect trigger and the frozen Done badge. The description is long, but it covers every required section. The template asks for a model and harness attribution at the end, and the description includes one.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Shell-stream defects now trigger delayed resubscription so thread-list updates can recover without a reconnect or wakeup. Recovery reuses existing synchronization paths with capped backoff and introduces no new server-side mutations.

Julius now owns this PR, so I’m handing over the verification record.
Reproduced the stale thread-list state with a controlled raw Effect Die in Chromium 157, iPad Pro 13-inch (M5), iPhone 18 Pro, and Pixel Tablet (Android 35, hardware keyboard): the sidebar stayed idle while the open thread detail continued Working.
Tested the fix with the same seeded thread/view and isolated backend using free Replay. The server closed the selected WebSocket with CloseEvent 1012 while the app stayed foreground; after recovery, the sidebar returned to Working and then completed on all three native devices and web.
Focused shell-sync regression tests, related client-runtime tests, typecheck/lint/format, check:changed, and required PR checks passed. Macroscope’s latest review approved bc398e6.
Real Chromium web client, 1280×800, light theme, fresh isolated databases and Replay agents on both commits. Complete “go”; inject a shell-only Effect defect; send “go again”; close the actual WebSocket; create “ask me” waiting for input; dispatch a foreground wakeup; wait 16 seconds without reloading.
The scenario runner exited 0: base failed because “ask me” never appeared; head passed with “ask me” and its Input badge visible. Thread detail updated on both sides.
Run with NODE_OPTIONS pointing to the downloaded loader, T3_SHELL_DEFECT_FLAG pointing to a writable flag path, and T3_SCENARIO_INHERIT_ENV=NODE_OPTIONS,T3_SHELL_DEFECT_FLAG,T3CODE_DEV_SEED. Set T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0.
Not shown:
Native mobile, desktop shell, and T3 Connect were not exercised; this proof covers the local web client using shared client-runtime.
The transient synchronization-error display and clearing, exact saved cursor value, and recovery triggers individually were not separately captured or asserted; this scenario proves thread-list recovery after the combined defect, reconnect, and foreground-wakeup sequence.
