Resuming a long session (196k events, 2.2k steps, 1.8k tool cards) took
~12s to render and ~800ms to echo one keystroke:
- Every step's timing footer called stepTimingAt, which replayed the whole
event log per footer - O(steps x events) on the initial render.
- pi-tui re-renders every component each frame and relies on per-component
line caches, but ToolCardComponent/ContextCardComponent built throwaway
Text/Markdown instances inside render(width), re-wrapping every settled
card's output on every keystroke.
Replace the per-footer replay with one shared StepTimingTracker per chat
mount (single O(events) cursor over the append-only log), and cache card
rows by width via CardLineCache, dropped by every state mutator and
invalidate().
Measured (tmux 200x50, 196k-event session): resume prompt-ready ~12s -> ~7.6s;
per-keystroke echo ~800ms median -> ~11ms.
Round-four nits: the acp-snapshot README said 'the suite's hasPwsh probe
follows the executor's own resolution' — hasPwsh is caller-supplied, and the
resolvePwshPath-following behavior belongs to the shipped acp-agent caller;
reword to 'the caller-supplied hasPwsh probe (the shipped acp-agent suite
follows the executor's own resolution...)' on both language sides. And the
tool-bash README loses its only explicit pairing sentence with the dialect
guard reverted, so state the contract plainly: 'The tool contract is
bash-dialect — mount a bash-parsing executor' (both languages, pairing
re-recorded).
The host-variance paragraph documented posixOnly and pinsNativeWindowsStdout
but not the pwshOnly flag and SnapshotSuiteOptions.hasPwsh probe added with
the pwsh-tool-turn scenario; add the parallel sentence on both language
sides and re-record the pairing.
The ShellDialect marker on BashExecutor and the load-time rejection in
tool-bash/tool-pwsh force every test and example fake executor to declare
a dialect for a guard with no in-repo or plausible deployment to catch
(shipped compositions always pair the tool with its matching executor),
and they break the example composition suites that stub ctx.bash without
a dialect (agent-spine-demo/cli-demo/acp-demo lost the bash tool).
Keep the non-dialect doc fixes that landed with the attempt: the tool-bash
README bashEnv contract trim with the stale example import removed, the
acp-snapshot suite.ts 'usable pwsh' JSDoc, and the pwsh.cordis.yml comment
indent. The parity note records the attempt and revert under Alternatives.
The seam gains ShellDialect ('bash' | 'powershell' - concrete shells, not
families: zsh or fish would be their own values, never 'bash'); bash-local
declares bash (bash-sandbox inherits), pwsh-local declares powershell, and
both tools throw at load when the mounted executor speaks another dialect -
previously tool-pwsh over bash-local handed PowerShell text to bash -c and
the deployment error surfaced as ordinary nonzero exits. Pinned by mismatch
tests on both tools; the parity note records the contract (both languages).
Also from the review round: the tool-bash README's managed-environment
section becomes a summary linking the owning dsh-bash-env contract (the
duplicated prose carried a stale owner in its example import), the
pwshOnly JSDoc drops the stale 'on PATH' phrasing, and the task-tools
contract comment in the two pwsh compositions is indented into its block.
session-title already registers a title projection unit; /resume now
reads it instead of scanning logs: live rows from the registry
snapshot, persisted rows from the durable checkpoint row
(cachedSnapshot, zero I/O), and only rows without a usable checkpoint
pay a coldSnapshot — checkpoint plus readFrom tail, written back so the
next scan is metadata-only. Cold reads are bounded by the new
resumeScanConcurrency config; compositions without the cache fall back
to the bounded readTitleSnapshots batch. The TUI overlay mounts the
projection registry, storage, and projection-cache rows over the same
storages root the web surface uses, so checkpoints serve both.
TurnEndReasonMap aborted endings no longer map to 'cancelled': the ACP
spec reserves StopReason::Cancelled for the client's own session/cancel
notification (plus disposal, both settled out of band). A turn aborted by
a hook or another agent owner is ordinary quiescence and now settles as
end_turn, matching the README/note contract. interrupted keeps
'cancelled' as the crash-orphan marker.
- 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.
- tool-bash README (both languages) now shows the real four-service inject
and attributes the session-persistence contributor to dsh-bash-env.
- pwsh-local README names the also-exported ENV_OVERRIDES/ENCODING_PREAMBLE.
- agent-spine-demo drops the duplicate bash-env devDependency key.
Appending todo/write, request/header, and request/context inside an open
turn now exercises the switch cases and the enclosed-branch of the
invariant, closing the last branch gap.
Derive turn wall time from adjacent logged timestamps (no new session
events): the actions-owning assistant footer gains a localized
"Ran for {duration}" label, and the running TurnStatus label gains a
live elapsed clock anchored to the same logged trigger so a mid-turn
reload keeps the real elapsed time. Message time chrome is now
hover-revealed on hover-capable devices, keeping icons visible and
layout stable.
- invariant.spec: a turn/end whose step does not match the last opened
step fails with 'expected last step'.
- session.spec: a seed message whose content is not an array fails with
'message has invalid content'.
Making `.sources` a scroll container turned its `padding-left` from spacing
into a correctness constraint. A scroll container clips inline-start overflow
with no way to scroll it back, and `::marker` is right-aligned to the content
edge, so past nine sources the markers rendered as `0.` and `1.` where `10.`
and `11.` belonged.
`searchMaxResults` is an unbounded positive integer, so size the padding in
`em` against the list's own font to hold a three-digit marker. The browser e2e
measures a `999. ` marker in that inherited font and requires the computed
padding to be at least that wide, pinning the room against the widest marker
rather than one fixture's source count.
- gen-cordis-catalog / gen-persistence-catalog / gen-doc-graphs after the
error-reason and steering/message changes (line anchors and event
producer/consumer graph drifted).
- verify-translation-pairing --write --all: every bilingual pair touched
by the PR (agent notes, session/core docs, READMEs) plus the merge.
- queue-actions preserved golden re-recorded against the rebuilt client
(branch disabled on non-completed-turn tails is back in effect).
