Move the claimed-message notification loop out of the loop's pre-step
into Inbox.claim(target, turn), so the step-boundary operation publishes
its own claimed notifications like insertions and discards do.
- turn boundary now returns false for an empty admitted batch (claimed
input removed before the wake) instead of opening a turn and spending a
model call on nothing; the step boundary already had the symmetric guard.
- a max-token step stays sticky when steering or injected work continues
the turn: a later completed step no longer downgrades the outcome,
matching the TurnEndReasonMap contract.
- session/queue wire schema accepts the context placement (previously the
zod union rejected injected-context snapshots wholesale and the client
silently dropped the whole frame); schema tests cover all placements.
- headless runs settle at whole-agent idle instead of the first turn/end,
honoring the one-shot idle-to-idle contract.
- flush JSDoc names the real callers (checkpoint policy, goal-session,
teardown, self-flushing consumers); apiproxy zh README loses its stale
duplicate history section; ACP note/README record the delivered error
rejection and turnless-cancelled behaviors.
TurnEndReasonMap.error now carries a single `error: LlmFailure` field:
an LlmError keeps its structured facts, any other error flattens to
errorChain text under the UNKNOWN code. Consumers read message/code
directly instead of defending against an unknown union — this also fixes
errorChain() rendering structured failures as '[object Object]' in the
TUI and ACP error paths. Document the turn-stopping contract: a
concludesTurn result never short-circuits already-submitted next-step
work (same-step additionalContexts or racing steering still runs), data
decides.
- agent/error: drop the stale "(plus the logger)" claim; the machine only
emits the event.
- agent/inbox/claimed: document that a rejected turn boundary ends the
claimed message without discard or re-emission, and that a later batch
may reuse the turn number.
- steer(): document that a rejected step leaves steering parked until the
next wake.
- Fix stray double-space in the inbox inserted/discarded callbacks.
- Sync core.md/core.zh.md mirrors and regenerate the cordis catalog.
cancel() emitted agent/cancel-requested whenever queued or steering work
existed, even under keepInbox with no active turn — a call the contract
documents as a no-op. Consumers could misread that notification as a real
cancellation. Emit only when the call actually aborts the active turn or
discards pending work, matching the "effective call" contract.
goal-session rides retry turns and survives admission failures. A
recovery policy closes a goal round's failed turn and reopens its
history under a retry trigger; the attempt now adopts that turn and
drops the failed turn's provisional reason, so the round settles from
the retry's own outcome instead of blocking an armed goal with
turn-error after a successful response. A downstream admission hook
that throws (rather than blocks) used to strand the queued reservation
forever; the listener now clears a still-turnless matching attempt on
the rejection path and reschedules the round.
agent-loop contains a persistently rejecting step close in the catch
path the same way the finally contains the turn close, so the
post-finally tail always publishes the terminal status — previously a
double veto escaped run(), leaving status at running while whenIdle()
resolved. The whenIdle catch arm is annotated as the backstop it now
is: every driver rejection path is contained today.
workspace-context folds an already-appended baseline from the session
log when the plugin is hot-remounted over a live session, instead of
injecting a duplicate from its fresh mount-local guard.
The TUI's reference-admission discard listener installs before
followup(): admission runs synchronously inside it on the common path,
so a listener installed afterwards missed its own cleanup and leaked
one callback per referenced prompt.
The public classifier existed to defend an exported reader against
arbitrary signals, but its only production caller is the loop reading
its own machine-private turn signal, where cancel() is the sole aborter
and always writes one frozen canonical cause. Delete the export and its
15-line structural validation: settle() states the slot invariant with
one cast, the boolean call sites ask signal.aborted directly, and the
retry veto drops entirely because a requested window already implies a
live signal (cancel() retires the window before aborting).
The abort(reason) channel and first-wins semantics are unchanged; only
the reader's publicness is gone, and with it the paranoia it required.
Three ordering fixes on the admission and settlement boundaries.
kick() installs the abort owner, marks the interval busy (running is
emitted before any listener can observe the claim), and installs the
pending done BEFORE publishing agent/inbox/dequeue: a dequeue listener
that cancels or disposes now finds live cancellation and quiescence
ownership instead of the previous activity's settled state, and claimed
prompt admission — including asynchronous prompt-submit hooks — sits
inside the running interval where cancel routing can reach it. The
admission-rejected path yields one microtask before continueOrIdle so
the idle transition cannot fire inside send()'s synchronous extent.
agent/idle now names only committed turns: a run that aborts or fails
before its turn/start commits exits without the notification, since
there is no durable turn/end for settlement consumers to act against.
The event's JSDoc states the narrowed contract.
