Append the checked turn item's text when its message is missing.

message falls back to the latest other assistant message from the run at lines 217-222 when no loaded message matches turnItem.messageId. Line 232 then appends that fallback message's text. If the turn item's message is absent from projection.messages while another report from the same run is present, the appended text is that other report, not the checked turn item. For example, with reports A and B before the error, a projection that holds A in messages and B only in turnItems appends A.

messages and turnItems update through separate events (message.updated and turn-item.updated in ProjectionStore.ts lines 976-984), so the two lists can disagree. Match the message by the checked turn item's messageId, and fall back to that turn item's own text:

When the matching message exists, this selects the same text as before. The change affects only the case where the matching message is missing.

Review comment at @packages/provider-core/src/server/subagentProjection.ts at line 232:
Update the text-selection fallback in the turn-item projection to find the message matching turnItem.messageId in messages, rather than using the unrelated fallback message; if no match exists, use turnItem.text.
