Root cause: in CodexAdapterV2's turn/started handler, a root turn Codex starts on its own (codex queue) after T3's run settled fell through to rememberSubagentTurnStarted, so no run was ever opened and its messages, tools and approvals were dropped. Fix, following the OpenCode adapter's wake pattern for prompts queued by other clients: when turn/started names an unknown turn on a known root provider thread (in rootProviderThreads, not a subagent thread) with no active T3 turn, the adapter records the turn in a per-session map. A thin wrapper around client.handleServerNotification holds that turn's notifications in arrival order (keyed by payload.turnId or payload.turn.id), awaitActiveTurn makes approval/user-input requests for it wait, and the adapter offers a ProviderContinuationRequest with the default adapter_buffered delivery. When the continuation run's startTurn arrives (createdBy agent, creationSource provider), adoptCodexStartedTurn registers the root turn against the already-running native turn instead of sending turn/start, then drains the held notifications in order. Notifications that arrive while it drains are queued behind them, and the map entry is removed only once the queue is empty. Root userMessage items of an adopted turn are emitted as user messages in that run (reusing the subagent prompt path, with the run's runId), so the queued prompt shows next to the reply. clearIfCurrent and onRunEndedWithoutStarting release the hold, which falls back to today's behaviour. No regex or parser was added; the wrapper only reads turnId/turn.id fields. Not verified live: no dev server or real codex queue run in this step; the evidence is the replay test, which fails on the base and passes with the fix.

Fixes #23919

Reproduction on main

Commit origin/main 3c68642. Started an isolated dev server in a fresh worktree with T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 and paired the web client in the preview browser. A project and a Codex thread were created automatically. Sent 'Reply with the word READY and nothing else. Do not run any tools.'; Codex replied READY and the run completed (orchestration_v2_projection_runs: 1 run, status completed). Read the native Codex thread id from the worktree's own dev database, then from a shell ran codex queue --thread <native id> --message "Reply with the word QUEUED." (codex-cli 0.167.2), which printed 'Queued message ... for thread ...'. About 10 s later Codex's queue_1.sqlite queued_items was empty, and Codex's session file for the thread held a "turn_trigger":"queue" turn whose reply was QUEUED, so the turn ran in T3's app-server. T3's own database still had 1 run and 1 provider turn, its messages were only the READY prompt and reply, and the provider thread's updated_at stayed at the first run's end. The web UI showed only the READY exchange, with no queued message and no QUEUED reply. Also wrote a replay test in CodexAdapterV2.test.ts (a completed root turn, then turn/started for an unknown turn id on the same native thread, a userMessage, an agentMessage 'QUEUED', turn/completed). On main it fails: the adapter sends no continuation request.

Evidence

Being captured: before and after in the real app. This section is filled in before the pull request can merge.

Tests

vp test run src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.test.ts: 159/159 pass (the repro test fails on the base with 'expected [] to have a length of 1'). I extended the repro test to start the continuation run and assert the queued user message, the QUEUED assistant reply in that run, and a completed terminal. vp test run CodexReplayFixtures.integration, BackgroundWorkStop.integration, SteeringCompletion.integration, CodexDriver.test: 112/112 pass. effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit in apps/server: exit 0. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (3 packages) and tests all pass.

Not in this change

  • A queued turn on a thread this server process has only resumed and never run a T3 turn on (rootProviderThreads is filled when a root turn registers) still falls through to sub-agent bookkeeping; covering it means recording root threads on resumeThread too.
  • If a user message is dispatched while the adopted continuation is still pending, that run goes through turn/start while Codex's queued turn is running, as it does today.
  • The continuation message keeps ProviderContinuationService's default text and notification ('Background task completed.' / 'Background activity updated'), the same as OpenCode's wake for externally queued prompts; a queue-specific label would be a separate UI change.
  • The thread/queue/changed notification is still not handled; it carries only threadId and Codex has no app-server method to read or drain the queue, so it cannot be used to take the message over.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Failing test for #23919: a root turn Codex starts from its own queue after
T3's run settled is parked as sub-agent bookkeeping, so T3 never opens a
run for it.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
When `codex queue` hands a message to a Codex thread that T3 is serving,
Codex starts a root turn on its own after T3's run has settled. The adapter
filed that unknown turn as sub-agent bookkeeping, so T3 never opened a run
and the queued message, reply, tools and approvals were lost.

The adapter now holds such a turn: it buffers the turn's notifications in
order, makes approvals wait, and asks T3 for a provider continuation. When
that run starts, the adapter binds it to the running native turn instead of
sending turn/start, replays what it held, and shows the queued prompt as a
user message in the run.

🟠 High Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts:1819

When a queue-started root turn spawns a subagent before the continuation run is adopted, the child’s notifications are processed immediately while the parent’s spawn notification is held. The child’s item events and turn/completed are then dropped because no active child context exists; replaying only the saved start leaves the child turn running with missing messages and tools. The hold lookup at codexStartedTurns.get(turnId) covers only the root turn ID, so buffer descendant notifications too or register the child’s ownership before holding the parent events.

The Codex adapter offers continuation requests for eligible turns started by Codex on known root threads. It holds notifications until a continuation run adopts the turn, then projects the turn’s messages under that run.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 22d33

This change makes Codex queue-started turns appear in the thread, but several edge cases can still lose queued output or leave a native turn running unrecorded. These cover back-to-back queued turns, turns that spawn subagents, cancelled continuations, and approvals that arrive early. They are worth fixing before merge, but the main path works and was not previously recorded either.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: Codex turns started by codex queue, which run in T3's app-server, now appear in the thread. It follows the conventional commit form and matches the objectives and the raw summary. The title is specific and does not use vague terms.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem (root cause and reproduction on main), the change (adoption pattern, continuation request, held notifications), scope (linked issue #23919 and stated exclusions), and verification (replay test, unit and integration runs, type check). It follows the template's required sections. The Evidence section is still marked as being captured, and the live before/after check was not performed. The author should finish that section before merge. The Verification section also names the model and harness only implicitly, and the template asks for that when an agent was used.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Only #23919 is directly linked, and it is open. Its coding requirement: a turn that Codex starts from codex queue on a loaded T3 thread must appear in the T3 thread, with the queued message, the agent reply, tool calls, and approval requests reaching the user.

The PR implements this in CodexAdapterV2.ts. An unknown turn on a known root provider thread (rootProviderThreads, not a subagent thread) with no active T3 turn is recorded for adoption instead of going to rememberSubagentTurnStarted. A wrapper around client.handleServerNotification holds that turn's notifications in arrival order, keyed by payload.turnId or payload.turn.id. awaitActiveTurn waits for the adoption before approval or user-input requests for that turn return. A ProviderContinuationRequest is offered, and clearIfCurrent and onRunEndedWithoutStarting release the hold. adoptCodexStartedTurn registers the existing native turn instead of sending turn/start, then drains the held notifications in order. Root userMessage items are emitted as user messages in the continuation run.

The replay test in CodexAdapterV2.test.ts covers the issue path: a completed root turn, then turn/started for an unknown turn, a userMessage, an agentMessage 'QUEUED', and turn/completed. The PR reports that the test fails on the base and passes with the fix; I did not run the tests. The live reproduction is not verified (the PR's Evidence section is still pending). The excluded cases (resume-only threads, concurrent dispatch during a pending continuation, thread/queue/changed) are not part of the issue's core reproduction.

Note on the incremental diff: the head is a merge of origin/main (f313d0a) into the branch. The diff from the previous reviewed head therefore includes upstream main changes (cyber access, reasoning summary, protocol log routing, user-input question IDs). Those hunks are not PR changes, so they do not alter this assessment. The whole-PR scope is mergeBase f313d0a to head. The adapter logic above matches the prior assessment.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR change set is limited to CodexAdapterV2.ts and CodexAdapterV2.test.ts, per the change summary. The adapter hunks support #23919: the held-notification wrapper, the started-turn map, awaitActiveTurn gating, the continuation offer and release, adoption in startTurn, the root userMessage projection, and the Codex-created marker used for the initial prompt. The test hunk supports the same objective. Subagent message and turn-item artifacts now carry an explicit runId value. This follows from the shared emit path and does not change the subagent requirement.

The incremental diff from the previous reviewed head shows unrelated hunks (cyberAccessProgram, config/read reasoning summary, protocol thread router, user-input question ID mapping). These come from the merge of origin/main into the branch, as the head history shows. They are not PR changes, so they are not counted as out-of-scope here. I did not inspect the full whole-PR diff beyond the summary, so this verdict relies on the change summary for the scope of the PR.

Assert the queued user turn item's run ID.

This test checks message.updated.runId, but the change also assigns turn_item.updated.runId. A regression in the turn-item assignment would leave this test green. Assert that the queued user_message turn item belongs to continuation.runId in this case. As per coding guidelines, “Extend before you add. When an existing test or table covers the behavior, add a row or an assertion there.” As per path instructions, “Request tests only as those rules allow.”

Handle the native turn when an unstarted continuation is released.

When a queued continuation ends before startTurn, releaseCodexStartedTurn deletes the pending record. This also discards the held notifications for that turn, including its completion. The function does not interrupt the turn. Codex can keep running it while T3 records none of its prompt, actions, or reply. Item-event lookups for that turn then find no active context, and a user interrupt for it fails as not active.

Decide how the release path handles the native turn before it discards the record. Either send turn/interrupt for it first, as the stalled-retry path does, or keep enough state to record it. The choice depends on whether cancelling a continuation should also stop the native work. The repository does not settle that.

Count pending Codex turns in both background-work probes.

A queue-started turn stays in codexStartedTurns until its continuation run adopts it. Neither probe checks that map. If the idle deadline expires while the continuation is still pending, the release or unload path can proceed. The held notifications are then dropped, and the queued turn is not recorded. The window is the interval between the queue-started turn and its continuation run start, so the deadline must fall inside that interval.

Drain held notifications without repeated Array.shift.

A long turn can accumulate many token-delta notifications while its continuation waits. Removing each entry from the front of an array makes replay quadratic in the number of held notifications. Use an index or a deque while preserving the order of notifications that arrive during replay. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Wait for a pending queue-started turn in the legacy approval handlers.

execCommandApproval and applyPatchApproval look up an active turn by thread and return a protocol error when none exists. A queue-started turn has no active context until its continuation run registers it. An approval that arrives in that window can therefore be rejected and never reach the user.

The legacy requests carry conversationId, not a turn ID, so the turn-ID wait used by the other handlers cannot be reused. Wait on the pending turn for that thread, then look up the active context again.

Suggested fix

Add this helper after findActiveTurnByNativeThreadId:

const awaitActiveTurnByNativeThreadId = Effect.fnUntraced(function* (nativeThreadId: string) {
  const pending = Array.from(codexStartedTurns.values()).find(
    (turn) => turn.nativeThreadId === nativeThreadId,
  );
  if (pending !== undefined) {
    yield* Deferred.await(pending.registered);
  }
  return yield* findActiveTurnByNativeThreadId(nativeThreadId);
});

Use it in both legacy handlers:

         yield* client.handleServerRequest("execCommandApproval", (payload) =>
           Effect.gen(function* () {
-            const context = yield* findActiveTurnByNativeThreadId(payload.conversationId);
+            const context = yield* awaitActiveTurnByNativeThreadId(payload.conversationId);
         yield* client.handleServerRequest("applyPatchApproval", (payload) =>
           Effect.gen(function* () {
-            const context = yield* findActiveTurnByNativeThreadId(payload.conversationId);
+            const context = yield* awaitActiveTurnByNativeThreadId(payload.conversationId);

Trace the release callback with a named span.

releaseCodexStartedTurn is a lifecycle callback. The continuation service calls it when a run clears or ends without starting. It is not per-event work. The file uses Effect.fnUntraced here without an explanation, which breaks the repository rule for untraced helpers. Use a named Effect.fn, as the sibling awaitRunForCodexStartedTurn does.

Signal approval waiters after the held replay completes.

For a queue-started turn, adoptCodexStartedTurn releases registered before it replays the held notifications. A waiting item/fileChange/requestApproval handler can resume at that point and read fileChangeKindsByItem before the replayed item/started sets it. An earlier held notification that suspends before that write can create this window. The approval then gets no file paths when the request has no reason or grantRoot.

Approval requests use handleServerRequest, so the notification hold does not apply to them.

Release the waiters after the replay. Use a finalizer so waiters still resume if the replay is interrupted:

Keep the started-turn entry consistent when replay is interrupted.

Line 2459 removes codexStartedTurns entry only after the replay loop finishes. The worker can interrupt the start effect through its cancellation race, which skips the delete. The entry then keeps registered completed, so the adoption check at line 2448 rejects later queue-started turns on that thread. The held-notification check at lines 1819-1822 keeps that turn's notifications queued until a release hook clears the entry.

A cleanup that deletes the entry in a finalizer must also handle notifications that have not replayed yet. Deleting the entry first would drop them, and leaving the entry in place keeps the stuck state. The correct handling of those notifications is not established by the inspected code, so this comment gives no patch.

Hold native subagent events until their parent replay registers them.

If a queued root turn spawns a native subagent before adoption, the parent's spawn notification is held here. The child's turn ID is not in codexStartedTurns, so child notifications bypass the hold.

The child's turn/started enters pendingSubagentTurns. Its item notifications then exhaust awaitActiveTurn, and its completion returns without a context. When parent replay later registers the subagent, the adapter creates a running child whose reply and completion were discarded.

Retain child notifications until subagent registration, including child completion. Cover a child that finishes before root adoption.

Keep subsequent queued root turns pending during replay.

If Codex starts the next queued turn while adoption replays the previous turn's held notifications, activeTurns still contains the previous context. This condition rejects the new root turn and routes it to rememberSubagentTurnStarted. The root thread has no subagent registration to consume that entry. The next queued prompt and reply therefore remain unrecorded.

Retain subsequent root turns during replay and serialize their adoption. Add this sequence to the replay regression test.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the proof was not accepted:

  • The diff changes approval/input request routing (awaitActiveTurn now waits for the queue-started turn's run to be registered), and the Expected behaviour states approval and input requests reach the user, but no capture exercises an approval or input request; the capture step lists this as unverified.
  • The stated bug includes the queued turn's tools being absent, but the READY/QUEUED reproduction runs no tools, so tool rendering for a queue-started turn is not shown on either side.
  • No 'after' capture was independently rebuilt: the reproduction needs the real Codex CLI with a Codex account, which this VM's provider hub does not provide.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.
