fix(server): Claude turns blocked by Auto-mode denials need attention - #34969
In Auto mode the Claude CLI denies tool calls (classifier or deny rule) before T3's canUseTool callback runs, so no runtime request exists and the only record is SDKResultMessage.permission_denials. ClaudeAdapterV2 never read that field, so terminalStatusFromResult settled such turns as 'completed'. Now, at the result-finalization site, a result that would end 'completed' but lists permission_denials for tool calls T3 did not decide itself finalizes the turn as 'failed' with a ProviderFailure of class permission_error, code permission_denied, retryable false. Its message reads "Claude's permission settings blocked:" followed by one line per denied call, produced by the existing summarizeClaudeToolRequest helper (e.g. 'Bash: printf T3_DENIAL_PROBE_ok'). The failed terminal emits the usual failure notice item and the thread's failed or attention state; the agent's reply text is still published. Claude Code also lists denials that T3's own canUseTool returned (e.g. a request the user declined), so the turn context now records every tool_use_id canUseTool handled (hostDecidedToolUseIds) and excludes those, which keeps user-declined requests completing as before. terminalStatusFromResult itself is unchanged, so result-text fallback and the other callers behave as before. No new regex or parser was added.
Commit 0ac41ee (origin/main). Created a scratch git project with .claude/settings.json {"permissions":{"deny":["Bash(printf T3_DENIAL_PROBE*)"]}} and added it to a fresh worktree dev server (T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev). In the web client: new thread in that project, model Claude Haiku 5.5, permissions set to Auto, sent 'Run exactly this bash command: printf T3_DENIAL_PROBE_ok . If it is denied, stop immediately and say so.' Claude replied that the command was denied and stopped. The provider event log shows the SDK result with permission_denials [{tool_name: Bash, tool_input: printf T3_DENIAL_PROBE_ok}] and permissionMode auto. statev2.sqlite: provider turn status=completed, run status=completed, 0 rows in orchestration_v2_projection_runtime_requests. The timeline shows only the user message, 'Worked for 12s' and the reply, with no denial notice; the sidebar row shows no attention state.

Not in this change
The notice names the denied calls but not why they were denied: the decision_reason from Claude's system 'permission_denied' frames, which the adapter ignores today, could be captured and appended.
A turn is marked failed whenever an Auto-mode denial occurred, even if Claude worked around it and finished; the SDK result does not say whether the agent gave up.
The web and mobile clients show a permission_error like any other provider error; no styling was added for it.

…ompleted
Failing test for #18386: an Auto-mode result carrying permission_denials
from the CLI ends the turn as completed, so the thread never needs attention.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
In Auto mode the Claude CLI refuses tool calls with its classifier or deny
rules before T3's canUseTool runs, so no request is created and the only
record is the result's permission_denials. The adapter ignored that field
and settled the turn as completed.
A successful result whose permission_denials include calls T3 did not decide
itself now ends the turn as failed with a permission_error naming each
blocked call. Denials the user gave through T3's own prompt keep the turn
completed.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change surfaces CLI permission denials without stopping ongoing background work. Unresolved concerns require decisions about sensitive command text in failure messages and blocked goals still being recorded as complete.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
The Claude adapter now distinguishes CLI permission denials from tool calls already decided by T3. For otherwise-completed results with an unhandled denial, it reports a non-retryable permission_error while retaining the original turn status for finalization.
Each turn records tool-use IDs handled by the T3 permission callback.
Classify denials and report turn outcome apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts
The adapter filters out denials for T3-decided tool-use IDs. Remaining denials on otherwise-completed results produce a non-retryable permission_error. Finalization reports failure while retaining the original turn status for cleanup. Tests cover both denial cases.
A Claude turn that fails on a permission denial may still mark an active goal complete, and the failure text may include raw command content. Resolve the goal-status handling before merging; the message content is a smaller concern.

The description follows the template closely. It gives the problem, the change, a reproduction on main, linked issue #18386, the tests run, and the known gaps. The Problem and Change sections are clear. Verification lists focused tests and results. The Evidence section says the before and after capture is still pending, and the description states this. The Scope section names a linked issue but does not explain why the change is a bug fix rather than a feature. The Scope item is minor, so the check passes.

Explanation
The whole-PR diff against merge base 5f85768 changes ClaudeAdapterV2.ts and ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts. The adapter changes serve #18386: cliPermissionDenialFailure, hostDecidedToolUseIds tracking in the turn context and canUseTool path, and the result-finalization branch. The reportedFailure and reportedStatus changes in finalizeActiveTurn apply only to this denial outcome. They keep the original status for cleanup, and they set childTurnsContinue for the failed terminal. This matches the commit message's run-lifecycle note. terminalStatusFromResult is unchanged. The test changes add a permissionDenials fixture option and tests for CLI-side denials and user-declined requests, which support this behavior. The test file was not read directly, so this verdict relies on the raw summary for it. No unrelated change was found.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#18386] The core defect is addressed. In ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, cliPermissionDenialFailure reads message.permission_denials at result finalization. It excludes tool_use_ids in hostDecidedToolUseIds, which canUseTool fills. When the result would otherwise be 'completed', the turn finalizes as 'failed' with class permission_error, code permission_denied, retryable false. The reply text is still published. Two requested behaviors remain unmet:
(1) The issue asks for a denial row with the classifier's reason. The failure message lists only summarizeClaudeToolRequest output per denied call. The PR states that the reason is not captured. The issue caveat says the reason must come from the matching tool_result error text, and the diff does not read it.
(2) The issue asks for a 'needs attention' status, like a pending approval. The diff creates no pending runtime request and no attention flag. It sets the turn to 'failed' and adds childTurnsContinue: true. The PR says 'failed or attention state', but the reviewed code does not establish an attention state. The one-click switch-and-retry control is marked 'ideally' in the issue and is not counted.
Resolution
Add the denial reason to the permission_error message. Derive it from the tool_result error text that matches each denial's tool_use_id, and include it in the message for each denied call. Show that the denial path produces the attention state the issue requests, for example by creating a pending request or a thread attention flag. Alternatively, record in #18386 that a failed status with the failure notice satisfies the requested behavior, and get that scope agreed.

Limit the permission-denial failure message to what the user needs to act on.
cliPermissionDenialFailure places raw tool input in the message. summarizeClaudeToolRequest copies a Bash command or file path up to 400 characters, so a credential in that command appears in the failure text. The 400-character cap bounds the exposure but does not redact it.
The Safe values rule in docs/internals/effect-services.md does not cover this message. It applies to Schema.TaggedError attributes and log annotations, and the repository guidance does not prescribe result-classification behavior for adapters. The concern rests on the disclosure itself, not on that rule.
Choose a remedy that keeps the denied action identifiable without copying raw command text. The current prompt-based fallback in the approval path already exposes command text, so a change here should match the intended user-facing behavior. Do not reduce the message to tool names alone without deciding whether that still meets the PR goal of identifying the denied calls.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:
the capture step could not show the problem on the base commit, so there is nothing to prove fixed.
Created a scratch git project with the specified Bash deny rule, added it through the app CLI, and launched the supplied command prompt through the real Claude provider. Inspected the thread in the web client. The provider returned HTTP 429 before executing any tool. This preliminary CLI launch used bypassPermissions rather than Auto; the requested Auto-mode comparison was not reached. Base was not run.

…k running
Reporting a CLI permission denial as a failed turn ran the cleanup for a
stopped turn: it stopped running workflows, ended background subagent calls,
cancelled steers and cleared the background roster while Claude's process
kept running. The turn now finalizes with its real status and only its
terminal and provider turn report the permission failure.

Use the reported outcome when completing a goal.
If an active /goal turn produces a root assistant frame and then ends with a CLI permission denial, reportedStatus becomes failed, but input.status remains completed. With no background work, the goal-completion gate at Line 8986–9002 still persists goal.status: "complete".
Preserve the underlying status for resource cleanup, but require reportedStatus === "completed" before completing the goal. Extend an existing goal test with this denial case.
