perf(server): sending to a long compacted thread skips its old prompts - #36289
Sending a prompt in a long thread waits on one read: message.dispatch loads the thread's records before it plans. #35180 narrowed that read for a compacted thread, but it still loads every run and every prompt of the thread. On a real database those prompts are spread among the thread's tool items, so each one is a random read. On a compacted thread of about 8,000 runs and about 2,500 prompts, the prompts took about 4.7 s of a 6 to 8 s read, with the runs about 1 s.
#34641 (closed, by the same author) dropped old runs and prompts, and lost records the dispatch still reads, such as the model-switch divider. #35180 fixed that by loading everything. This PR keeps its correctness and loads only the prompts the dispatch can read.
Change
For a thread with a completed compaction, the command read replaces the turn items with:
the failed errors of every run (one seek through the failed-error index; every error check in the dispatch reads only these),
the prompts of the recent runs and of fresh-context runs (the schedule check reads those),
the prompts of the newest runs back to the one modelSwitchSince measures from. The scan goes newest first in the batches 1, 2, 4, and so on, and stops at the first run whose prompt is shown or that has a context handoff. That run can be older than the compaction.
The predicates that decide this now live in modelSwitch.ts (isShownUserMessageItem, anchorsModelSwitch), and modelSwitchSince uses the same ones, so the scan and the divider cannot disagree. Runs are still read in full, so every decision that depends on the latest run, a held queue run, a failed worktree setup or a delegated result is the same as before by construction. A thread with no completed compaction reads in full, as before.
No migration and no new index: the reads use turn_items_failed_error_idx and turn_items_thread_run_idx.
Scope
A performance fix for the dispatch read of long compacted threads, the case #35180 and #35130 address, with no new setting or feature. It builds on them and changes one read (+79/-8 in ProjectionStore.ts, a shared predicate in modelSwitch.ts, comments in Orchestrator.ts).
Verification
Real ProjectionStore code, main against this branch, on a read-only copy of a 25 GB database. Each read ran 3 times in one process; the first is cold.

That is about 2.7 to 3x faster on the largest thread. What is left is the read of the runs (about 0.85 s for 8,251), the lookup of the recent runs (about 0.45 s) and the other record types; narrowing runs would need a per-decision review and is not in this PR.
Equivalence on real data. For every one of the 356 compacted threads in the copy, three sends (the newest message, a middle one and the first, as the message that is sent again), the narrowed read and a full read give the same: runs, failed errors, every item the narrowed read returns (payload for payload), the prompts of the recent, queued and fresh-context runs, message order, modelSwitchSince for every model the thread used and for one it did not, the latest executed run, usageLimitBlockedRun and its failure class for the thread and for each provider, the thread shell's error fields, and the "only maintenance commands so far" title check. 12,894 checks, 0 differences. Removing the model-switch scan makes 53 of the modelSwitchSince checks fail, so this data does cover the case where the run to measure from is older than the compaction.
Test. The existing compacted-thread case in ProjectionStore.test.ts now asserts the new item set: a failed error on an old run, a fresh-context run, and a case where the recent prompts are async answers so the scan has to reach back to an older run. It fails when I remove any of the four rules (the fresh-context read, the stop of the scan, the errors, the unread-run query).
vp run check:changed format and lint pass for the changed files. The one test I could not run locally is the existing turn-item window test, which needs statement.stat from a newer Node. Tests in ProjectionStore, Orchestrator.control-reads, SteeringCompletion.integration, ProviderTurnControlService, modelSwitch, IdleCompaction, ProjectionMaintenance, FoundationPersistence, SelectionRestart, RestartContinuation, DelegatedCompletionDelivery, TurnStartReads and ThreadStream pass (302 tests). Not measured: a real send on a running server.
Created with Claude Sonnet 5.5 in Claude Code (T3 Code).
A send in a compacted thread still read every prompt and error of the
thread. Each prompt is a separate random read, so a thread of about 8,000
runs spent most of its read on them. The command read now loads the failed
errors of every run and the prompts of the recent runs, of fresh-context runs
and of the newest runs back to the one a model switch is measured from.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This speeds up sends in long compacted threads by skipping historical prompts that command planning does not need, without deleting history or changing product defaults. The bounded read-only scope and reported real-data equivalence checks support low remaining risk.

Walkthrough
Compacted-thread projection reads now select prompts from recent, fresh-context, and model-switch runs. They also retain failed errors from all runs. Model-switch eligibility checks are exposed as helpers, and tests and comments describe the read behavior.
The module exports helpers that identify shown user messages, eligible runs, and model-switch anchors. modelSwitchSince uses these helpers for its existing filtering.
Compacted reads select prompts from recent and fresh-context runs, then check model-switch candidates in expanding batches. They include failed errors from all runs. Tests cover the selected prompts and errors. Comments describe the read behavior.

Explanation
The description follows the template's main sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. It explains the bug (dispatch read loads every prompt of a compacted thread), the fix (narrowed command read with a model-switch scan), and the scope (performance fix for long compacted threads, linked to #35180 and #35130). Verification gives benchmark tables, an equivalence run on 356 threads, the updated test, and the checks that could not run. The Problem section does not give explicit reproduction steps beyond the thread size and timings, and the template's Scope asks for a linked bug issue; the description links related PRs but not an issue that shows the bug. These gaps are minor.

Make the async-answer case anchor a run so it can detect the regression.
The rewrite changes only the prompt item's messageId. The corresponding run keeps its original userMessageId, which no longer matches any shown message. With the exclusion in isShownUserMessageItem removed, the run still cannot anchor, so the assertion passes either way. The case does not check async-answer visibility.
Point the affected runs' userMessageId at the rewritten message id as well. Then the assertion depends on the visibility rule. Re-check the expected selections afterward, because the userMessageId joins in ProjectionStore.ts also use this value.

Valid, thanks. The case rewrote only the prompt item's message id, so the run still pointed at a message no client shows and could not anchor either way. It now points each affected run at the rewritten id too. With the async-answer exclusion removed, the case fails.
