TLDR

Turn now races every provider stream read against the turn AbortSignal. Previously, if a provider transport left a pending streamIterator.next() unsettled after Escape-cancel, no layer between the CLI submission lifecycle and Turn would settle — the turn chain stayed pending forever, activeTurnRef was never released, and every subsequent prompt was silently queued until restart (#3236). Abort is now a first-class contender in every read path; an abort win emits exactly one UserCancelled, sinks the abandoned read, and unwinds through the existing bounded iterator cleanup. Watchdog, queue, YOLO/approval, and retry semantics are unchanged.

Reviewers should focus on packages/agents/src/core/turnStreamGuards.ts (raceReadWithAbort: one-shot settled guard, listener hygiene, pre-aborted fast path, abandoned-read rejection sinks) and its call sites in turn.ts (both consumeStreamEvents branches + both acquireFirstStreamEvent paths).

Dive Deeper

Root cause. Turn.consumeStreamEvents checked the abort signal only after next() resolved; the watchdog race only raced a timeout promise, never abort. Since the watchdog disarms after the first liveness/semantic event (DEFAULT_STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS = 0 → no phase-B guard), every post-first-event read was fully unbounded. The CLI's useCancellation aborts and synchronously clears isResponding (UI looks Idle), but activeTurnRef is only released in the submission finally after the chain settles — a wedged read keeps it claimed forever, so scheduleNextQueuedSubmission refuses to drain and useSubmitQuery queues every fresh prompt. The intermittent trigger is transport-level: abort plumbing to fetch is correct in the audited providers, but any read that doesn't settle on abort (SDK retry/buffer paths, proxies, keep-alive races) wedges the whole chain. Active todo lists amplify exposure (TodoContinuationService auto-issues extra provider requests, each another unguarded read window) — matching the reported correlation.

Fix surface.

  • packages/agents/src/core/turnStreamGuards.ts (new): raceReadWithAbort (pre-aborted fast path sinks the read without attaching a listener; one-shot settled guard; {once:true} listener removed on every exit; abandoned reads get fulfillment+rejection sinks so late settlement can't unhandled-reject), beginWatchdogBoundedAcquisition, closeLateAcquiredIterator, and formatStreamIdleTimeoutMessage relocated from turn.ts.
  • packages/agents/src/core/turn.ts: both watchdog-active and watchdog-inactive subsequent reads, plus both first-event acquisition paths, now race abort. Abort win → exactly one UserCancelled (first-event paths throw AbortError → existing handleRunError mapping); cleanup stays bounded via closeIteratorBounded.
  • packages/agents/src/internals.ts: exports MessageStreamOrchestrator/TodoContinuationService through the sanctioned internals barrel for test consumption (no raw cross-package relative imports).
  • packages/cli/src/__tests__/configBridgeGuard.test.ts: isTestFile now recognizes the repo's .bun.ts/.bun.tsx test suffixes (13 existing files, all bun:test) via a TEST_FILE_SUFFIXES const + .some().

Verification. Full cycle on the final diff: scoped + full lint (exit 0), typecheck both packages (0), prettier clean, npm run build (0), smoke via bun scripts/start.ts --profile-load stepfun-37 (haiku delivered, exit 0). Full test suite failures triaged to pre-existing/environmental (4× RipgrepPathResolver identical at HEAD standalone; Disposal T13 180s load-flake passing 12/12 standalone; pwsh grammar env failure proven at HEAD via stash; agents api trio load-timeout flakes passing 35/35 standalone). Independent deepthinker review: PASS (0 blockers/majors, self-ran 17/17 + 13/13 + tsc/eslint + 106 additional suite passes). Pre-fix validation: stashing only the turn fix makes the new CLI regression hang at the #3236 invariant; restoring it goes green. Note: useSubmitQuery.terminalError.bun.tsx fails identically on main (fixture predates a handleErrorEvent dispatcher dependency); untouched by this diff.

Reviewer Test Plan

  1. cd packages/agents && bun test ./src/core/turn.abort-timeout.test.ts — 17/17, including: mid-read abort with default (idle-timeout-disabled) config emits exactly one UserCancelled while the read stays parked; late rejection of the abandoned read produces no unhandled rejection; watchdog-active abort wins without waiting for the timer; pre-aborted acquisition fast path; listener-hygiene assertions.
  2. cd packages/cli && bun test ./src/ui/hooks/agentStream/__tests__/useSubmitQuery.providerIgnoreCancel.bun.tsx — real-engine chain (real submission/queue/cancellation/event-stream/loop/orchestrator/todo-continuation/Turn over a controlled ChatSession seam). Turn A's second read parks forever observing-and-ignoring abort; Escape settles A (proven at the real turn-boundary flush); B front-enqueues (Fresh prompt can remain queued during cancelled-turn teardown #3169 semantics); C appends; after release B and C drain automatically, exactly once, in order; final queue empty; never concurrent; provider read never settled.
  3. cd packages/cli && bun test ./src/__tests__/configBridgeGuard.test.ts — 12/12 with the suffix fix.
  4. Manual: start a streaming turn, hit Escape mid-stream, submit two prompts — both should run; the pre-fix wedge is reproducible only with a transport that ignores abort, which the tests simulate deterministically.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved cancellation handling for provider streams that ignore abort signals, preventing stalled agent turns.
    • Ensured late or abandoned stream resources are cleaned up safely.
    • Improved timeout diagnostics and handling during initial stream acquisition.
    • Fixed CLI cancellation flows so queued prompts resume and complete in order without duplicate processing.
    • Added support for detecting .bun.ts and .bun.tsx test files.
  • Chores

    • Exposed additional internal orchestration services for low-level integrations.

Escape-cancel during a streaming turn could wedge the CLI permanently: if a
provider transport left a pending stream read unsettled after abort, no layer
between the CLI submission lifecycle and Turn raced that read against the turn
AbortSignal, so the turn chain never settled, activeTurnRef stayed claimed, and
every later prompt queued forever. The stream watchdog cannot close this gap:
it disarms after the first liveness/semantic event and the inter-chunk idle
timeout defaults to disabled.

Turn now races every owned provider read (subsequent watchdog-active and
watchdog-inactive reads plus both first-event acquisition paths) against the
turn abort signal via raceReadWithAbort in the new turnStreamGuards module. An
abort win emits exactly one UserCancelled, sinks the abandoned read against
late rejection, removes its listener, and unwinds through the existing bounded
iterator cleanup. Watchdog, queue, and approval semantics are unchanged.

Adds behavioral regressions at both layers: abort-ignoring never-settling
iterators in turn.abort-timeout.test.ts (including the pre-aborted acquisition
fast path), and a real-engine CLI regression composing real submission, queue,
cancellation, event-stream, agentic-loop, orchestrator, todo-continuation, and
Turn code over a controlled ChatSession seam whose second read parks forever
while abort is observed and ignored - proving the #3236 invariant end to end.

Also teaches configBridgeGuard's isTestFile the repo's .bun.ts/.bun.tsx test
suffixes, and exports MessageStreamOrchestrator/TodoContinuationService from
the agents internals barrel for sanctioned test consumption.

Walkthrough

Before this change, provider stream reads in the Turn layer could outlive a consumer's abort request: cancellation was checked only loosely, async iterators were not reliably closed, and watchdog/idle-timeout paths did not consistently respect the active AbortSignal. After this PR, Turn treats cancellation as a first-class stream event—yielding a UserCancelled event when the signal is aborted, invoking iterator return() for cooperative cleanup, bounding cleanup with closeIteratorBounded, and surfacing StreamIdleTimeout with the configured threshold and source. Provider errors during cancellation are also handled without crashing, and subsequent Turn runs can proceed normally after an aborted stream.

Release Notes

Bug Fixes

  • Make provider stream reads in Turn cancellation-responsive by checking the AbortSignal before processing each stream event and yielding UserCancelled immediately when aborted.
  • Ensure stream iterator cleanup is bounded and cooperative: call return() on async iterators and use closeIteratorBounded so aborted turns do not hang or leak resources.
  • Handle provider errors on already-cancelled requests without crashing or reporting spurious errors.
  • Emit StreamIdleTimeout with the configured timeout source and threshold when the provider stream becomes idle, and abort the underlying provider request from the watchdog path.

Tests

  • Add regression tests for abort behavior covering iterator cleanup, malformed provider errors on cancellation, recovery for subsequent Turn runs, and explicit stream-idle timeout configuration.
  • Update test-file detection/config bridge guard coverage to recognize Bun test extensions and enforce the CLI/UI config boundary.

Refactor

  • Extract stream guard/watchdog wiring into dedicated Turn stream guard internals and expose related types through the package internals surface for power-user and subpath consumers.

Documentation

  • Document the plan, requirements, and verification steps for provider stream cancellation responsiveness in the issue plan file.

Check Status Note
Title Clear and descriptive: states the behavior change (cancellation-responsive provider stream reads), the owning layer (Turn), and the linked issue (#3236).
Description All expected template sections are present: TLDR, Dive Deeper, Reviewer Test Plan, Testing Matrix, and Linked issues / bugs. The body also includes verification notes and a CodeRabbit summary.
Linked Issues #3236 is fully addressed: Turn now races provider reads against AbortSignal, abandoned reads are sunk, and cleanup is bounded. #3169 queue-resume semantics are preserved and regression-covered. #2259 double-cancellation is resolved as a consequence of the same root-cause fix. #2882 is partially addressed: the cancel-breaks-session/queue-stuck behavior is fixed, but the separate collapsed-panel height issue is not touched.
Out of Scope The collapsed-panel full-height bug from #2882 is not fixed. The pre-Responding Escape gap is explicitly out of scope per the issue plan. No changes were made to drawer presentation, steering semantics, providers, AgenticLoop, queue storage, scheduler, or retry policy. The pre-existing useSubmitQuery.terminalError.bun.tsx failure is noted but intentionally untouched.

885-896: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Bound the final await and unmount in finally.

await turnAPromise has no timeout. Every other wait in this test uses an explicit 5000 ms bound. If a regression leaves turn A's submit promise pending, this test hangs until the runner-level timeout instead of failing with a clear assertion. Also, unmount() runs inside the try, so a failed assertion above leaves the harness mounted with a live AbortController.

  • packages/agents/src/core/turn.ts: [bug/high] > In the bounded-acquisition catch block of acquireFirstStreamEvent, idleFlag.fire !== undefined is checked before signal.aborted. Because the new abort-race path can throw AbortError from this same catch block, an abort that races with a watchdog timeout is downgraded to the timeout error and bypasses run()'s handleRunError mapping to UserCancelled. This contradicts the PR's stated invariant that "an abort win emits exactly one UserCancelled" and makes the bounded path behave differently from the unbounded one. Move the abort/timeout precedence check above the idle-timeout throw so an aborted parent signal preserves cancellation semantics.

Replace the polling waitFor on the first routed content event with a
Promise latch and add an explicit parked-read barrier so ESC provably
lands after the abort-ignoring read parks. The old poll accidentally
masked this ordering: cancelling before the park exercises the
already-aborted fast path instead of the #3236 read-ignores-abort path.

Addressed the review thread on useSubmitQuery.providerIgnoreCancel.bun.tsx:804 (poll-based wait → timer drift):

  • Replaced the polling waitFor on the first routed content event with a Promise-based latch (contentEventALatch) resolved directly by the real event.
  • The review also surfaced a genuine ordering flaw the old poll had been masking: ESC could fire before the abort-ignoring second read had parked, silently exercising the already-aborted fast path instead of the Provider stream can ignore cancellation and retain active-turn ownership forever #3236 read-ignores-abort path (the test then failed on abortObservedByProvider() === false). Added an explicit parked-read barrier (parkedReadA deferred) so ESC provably lands after the read parks — the wait is now event-driven end to end, deterministic by construction rather than by polling slack.
  • Verified: test green, 5/5 repeat runs identical, eslint/prettier/tsc clean. Commit 334fa52.
