The Resume session / Start fresh session card stayed on screen after a successful recovery, so the only way to clear it was to send a prompt: a resumed agent settles at WAITING_FOR_INPUT, which the card never counted as recovered. It now retires as soon as the transcript shows the agent booted again.

Task: Hide resume banner on session resume

Important Changes

  • hasSuccessfulAgentBootAfter derives the "recovered" signal from the persisted transcript — a successful agent_boot newer than the failure — so the card also stays hidden across a reload, a task switch, and the auto-resume-on-open path, where no button is ever pressed and an in-memory flag does not exist.
  • A failed or still-running boot deliberately keeps the card and its buttons, so a recovery that did not work retains its affordance.

Validation

  • pnpm exec vitest run components/task/chat/messages/action-message.test.tsx components/task/chat/messages/action-message-recovery.test.tsx hooks/processed-message-filtering.test.ts hooks/use-processed-messages.test.ts — 92 passed. The two new "card retires" cases were confirmed failing against the old behaviour first, with the Resume button still in the DOM.
  • pnpm run typecheck — clean.
  • pnpm exec eslint --max-warnings 0 over the changed files — clean. The new specs live in their own files so the existing suites stay under the 600-line max-lines limit.
  • pnpm exec prettier — clean.
  • apps/web/e2e/tests/session/session-recovery.spec.ts now reloads the page after recovering and asserts the buttons stay absent, which an in-memory acknowledgement cannot satisfy.
  • Manually verified in a dev instance against a real failed session: reopening the task no longer shows the stale card, and it stays gone after a refresh without sending anything.

Possible Improvements

Low risk: the card is hidden from client-derived state, so a session whose boot record sits outside the loaded message window still shows it until that history loads — unchanged from the previous behaviour.

Checklist

  • I have performed a self-review of my code.
  • I have manually tested my changes and they work as expected.
  • My changes have tests that cover the new functionality and edge cases.
  • If my change touches UI files (apps/web/), I have added or updated Playwright e2e tests in apps/web/e2e/ and verified them with make test-e2e.
  • I checked whether this affects public docs in docs/public/** and updated them or noted why no docs change is needed.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Recovery cards now automatically hide after a successful session resume or fresh boot.
    • Recovery controls remain hidden during subsequent session updates and after page reload.
    • The task composer becomes editable once recovery completes.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for successful, failed, stale, running, and missing boot scenarios.
    • Expanded end-to-end validation for recovery behavior and composer availability.

Walkthrough

Recovery cards now hide after an acknowledged resume or a later successful agent boot. The change adds boot-detection helpers, persists recovery acknowledgment across session transitions, and expands unit and E2E coverage.

Changes

Session recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Successful boot detection
apps/web/hooks/processed-message-filtering.ts, apps/web/hooks/processed-message-filtering.test.ts
Adds successful agent_boot detection and timestamp-based post-failure checks. Tests cover success, failure, ordering, timestamps, and invalid inputs.
Recovery state integration
apps/web/components/task/chat/messages/action-message.tsx, apps/web/components/task/chat/messages/action-message.test.tsx, apps/web/components/task/chat/messages/action-message-recovery.test.tsx
ActionMessage combines resume acknowledgment with successful boot detection. Tests cover session transitions and recovery-card visibility.
Resume recovery validation
apps/web/e2e/tests/session/session-recovery.spec.ts
The E2E test verifies that recovery actions disappear after resume and remain hidden after reload and session restoration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2fa76

The recovery card behavior is updated, but the touched UI file exceeds the repository’s 600-line limit, so merge should wait for extraction or explicit owner acceptance of the maintainability and reviewability impact.

Poem

A rabbit saw the boot light glow,
The recovery card said, “off we go.”
Resume hopped through state anew,
Waiting stayed calm and buttons flew.
Reload found the fix still true.

  • Checking tests
  • Posting findings

Findings

Suggestion (recommended, doesn't block)

  1. isSuccessfulAgentBootMessage: undocumented implicit-success pathprocessed-message-filtering.ts:134

    • Issue: The function returns true when status === "exited" and exit_code === undefined (absent). The comment says it mirrors script-execution-message.tsx:211-212, which is confirmed — that file uses the identical condition. However, the test suite covers explicit exit_code: 0 as a named case ("returns true when an explicit zero exit code reports success") but doesn't name the absent-exit-code path as a distinct case.
    • Why: If a future agent backend starts emitting status: "exited" without a code for non-success states (e.g. "exited via signal"), this would be a silent false-positive; a named test would catch the regression faster than a logical audit.
    • Fix: Add one test variant:
      it("treats an absent exit code as success", () => {
        const msg = bootMessage(AFTER);
        delete (msg.metadata as Record<string, unknown>).exit_code;
        expect(hasSuccessfulAgentBootAfter([msg], ERROR_AT)).toBe(true);
      });
      (or confirm it's already covered by the factory default — the default bootMessage omits exit_code, so the first test does cover it implicitly. In that case just rename that test to call out both sub-cases.)
  2. Multi-line JSDoc blocks violate the repo one-liner ruleprocessed-message-filtering.ts:126-137, 139-145

    • Issue: Both /** … */ blocks are 4–6 lines each. CLAUDE.md says "Don't write multi-paragraph docstrings or multi-line comment blocks — one short line max."
    • Why: Convention consistency, and these same facts are already restated in the inline comments inside action-message.tsx (lines 56–70).
    • Fix: Collapse to single-line or drop entirely if the inline comment in the consumer makes them redundant.
  3. E2E reload assertion waits on wrong causal signalsession-recovery.spec.ts:239-244

    • Issue: After testPage.reload(), the test gates on contenteditable: "true" (the composer being editable) before asserting the recovery buttons are absent. That attribute can become true briefly during the initial WAITING_FOR_INPUT flash before auto-resume kicks in, so a fast machine might satisfy the guard before the transcript's agent-boot record is delivered.
    • Why: If the page hydratesbootstrap payload + WS messages race, the guard could pass on the stale pre-boot composer state.
    • Fix: Use session.waitForChatIdle() (already used in seedTaskWithSession) as the causal wait after reload, since waitForChatIdle is presumably tied to the agent reaching idle after a turn, which happens only once the boot is recorded:
      await testPage.reload();
      await session.waitForLoad();
      await session.waitForChatIdle({ timeout: 30_000 });
      await expect(session.recoveryResumeButton()).toHaveCount(0);
      await expect(session.recoveryFreshButton()).toHaveCount(0);
      (Only apply if waitForChatIdle polls the transcript rather than just DOM state.)

Summary

Severity Count
Blocker 0
Suggestion 3

Verdict: Ready to merge with suggestions

The core fix is sound. hasSuccessfulAgentBootAfter correctly derives the retirement signal from the persisted transcript — making it reload-safe and covering auto-resume-on-open — and the success predicate faithfully mirrors the identical expression in script-execution-message.tsx. The two-signal design (recoveryRequested || agentRebooted) is clean: the click-based flag handles the instant in-session hide; the transcript-based flag covers all durable paths. Test coverage is strong for both the unit (10 cases in processed-message-filtering.test.ts, 6 in the new recovery suite) and the E2E reload assertion. No blockers.

Greptile Summary

The PR retires persisted session-recovery cards when a later successful agent boot appears in the transcript, preserving the result across reloads and task switches.

  • Adds transcript-based successful-boot detection and integrates it with recovery-card visibility.
  • Moves the click acknowledgment to the stable message row so it survives active session-state transitions.
  • Adds component, filtering, and end-to-end regression coverage for successful recovery.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The failed-recovery path should be fixed before merging because an acknowledged request can permanently remove the controls needed to retry.

The new parent-level acknowledgment correctly survives successful recovery transitions, but it also survives STARTING followed by a recoverable launch failure, causing the card to remain suppressed in WAITING_FOR_INPUT without a successful boot.

…shes the agent

The recovery card's "resume requested" acknowledgment lived on
SettledFailureMessage, which its parent SettledActionMessage unmounts
whenever the session is active (isSessionActive). A successful Resume
drives the session through STARTING/RUNNING and back to
WAITING_FOR_INPUT once the agent is idle, so the card remounted fresh
(recoveryRequested reset) and the banner reappeared until the next
message flipped the session to RUNNING.

Lift the acknowledgment up to ActionMessage, which stays mounted for the
message row, so it survives the intermediate unmount. The banner now
hides the moment Resume succeeds and stays hidden once the agent
re-establishes at WAITING_FOR_INPUT, with no need to send a message.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Resume/Start fresh card only disappeared when the session reached
RUNNING, so sending a prompt was what cleared it. A successful resume
settles the agent at WAITING_FOR_INPUT, which isSessionActive
deliberately excludes, and the click acknowledgment added previously is
in-memory only: it never exists after a reload, a task switch, or the
auto-resume-on-open path where no button was pressed. The card outlived
the failure it described and sat above a working composer.

Hide it on durable evidence instead: the transcript records the agent
booting again ("Resumed agent X" / "Started agent X") as a
script_execution row, so a successful agent_boot newer than the failure
retires the card. hasSuccessfulAgentBootAfter mirrors the success rule
the boot header renders with, so a failed or still-running resume keeps
the card and its buttons. The click acknowledgment stays for immediate
feedback before that row lands.

The e2e resume spec now reloads the page after recovering and asserts
the buttons stay gone, which the in-memory acknowledgment alone could
not satisfy.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Review caught that the click acknowledgment outlived its own outcome:
once a Resume/Start fresh request was accepted it hid the card forever,
so a launch that then failed left the user with no retry controls at
all. The acknowledgment now only covers the wait for the outcome — a
failed boot row after the failure, or a session driven to FAILED, hands
the card straight back.

hasFailedAgentBootAfter is the mirror of the success predicate, with
both now sharing one agent_boot row test so they cannot disagree about
what counts as a boot.

The e2e reload assertion waits on the transcript's own boot record
instead of the composer turning editable, closing the race where fast
hydration outruns the WS history. waitForChatIdle is deliberately not
used there: it clicks a visible Resume button, which would hide the very
regression the assertion covers.

Rebased onto main, which had moved 94 commits ahead: TurnsState gained
required fields and MessageAuthorType dropped "system", both of which
broke the new specs under CI typecheck.

Pushed 591b312. This change stores the successful recovery timestamp in session metadata, so the recovery card remains retired after reload even if the agent_boot transcript write is incomplete. It also reuses one script-success predicate in the transcript filter and renderer, with regression coverage for both paths. Thanks for the contribution!
