Summary

Make workspace-turn liveness depend on exact turn correlation.

Background

A stale workspace-turn handle could remain running when unrelated work started in the same target workspace. The stale handle could then consume a maxParallelAgentTasks slot.

A second race could interrupt a newly persisted queued handle while sendMessage completed its preflight work.

This branch previously contained a broad pre-refactor handoff patch. The new branch starts from current main and contains only the liveness and capacity fix.

Implementation

  • Match active streams by task handle, owner workspace, and turn ID.
  • Read direct and inherited workspace-turn correlation from compaction follow-ups.
  • Match queued or preparing continuations through exact workspace-turn metadata.
  • Reserve a queued handle until sendMessage exposes queue or stream correlation.
  • Associate auto-retry and bash-monitor continuations with the active registration.
  • Treat positively unrelated target activity as evidence that the old handle is stale.
  • Carry ownership evidence through stale settlement to protect adopted disposable workspaces.
  • Repair stale handles before parallel-slot accounting.

Risks

Moderate. This changes workspace-turn recovery and task admission. The tests cover streams, compaction, queued continuations, preflight races, retry paths, monitor wakes, ownership transfer, and unrelated activity.

Addressed both Codex findings in f5674e42d.

  • PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6bQLsI: An uncorrelated stream ending now stays nonterminal only while an exact correlated continuation is pending or streaming. The code no longer relies on terminal resettlement.
  • PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6bQLsL: The terminal report continuation is accepted before queued progress is removed. An enqueue failure keeps the progress wake available.

Added regression tests for waiter preservation, handoff order, enqueue failure, and explicit cancellation.

Addressed PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6bQkb8 in 3da714e8c.

The terminal attention record is now persisted before the background continuation starts. The onAccepted callback marks it delivered before stream startup continues. This prevents the fast stream-end from missing the record and causing a later duplicate drain.

Added a regression test that invokes onAccepted during sendMessage and verifies no pending attention remains.

Addressed the current Codex findings in a5f36592d.

  • Clear queued progress for every finalized group member: cleanup now covers every finalization.taskIds entry.
  • Hide the reservation from concurrent attention drains: owner-scoped notification claims now prevent duplicate delivery.
  • Re-arm attention when accepted stream startup fails: all accepted failure paths restore pending attention and schedule retry.

The fix also preserves delivery callbacks after correlation removal.

Stable child generations now use generation-specific terminal queue keys.

Local validation passed:

  • bun test src/node/services/taskService.test.ts
  • bun test src/node/services/workspaceService.test.ts

MessageQueue.removeWorkspaceTurn() now returns an empty callback object after a successful callback-free removal.

The branch was rebuilt from current main. These three findings refer to removed taskService code and are no longer present in the diff:

  • PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6bVDyl: fallback delivery callbacks were removed with the old implementation.
  • PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6bVDyo: deferred monitor-wake settlement logic was removed with the old implementation.
  • PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6bVDyp: inferred interruption markers were removed with the old implementation.

The replacement diff only changes correlation-aware liveness and stale-handle capacity accounting.

  • PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6eRQF5: stale disposable ownership is relinquished during unrelated activity. Settlement no longer removes the active workspace.
  • PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6eRQF_: full-queue hasQueuedWorkspaceTurn matching keeps later queued turns live.
  • PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6eRmcX: mock streams without StreamInfo remain ambiguous and use the active-handle fallback.

  • PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6eSHhI: The compaction parser now reads direct followUpContent.muxMetadata and inherited workspaceTurnMetadata.
  • PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6eSHhO: The liveness result now carries unrelated activity into settlement. A fresh correlated continuation still cancels settlement.
  • PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6eSHhV: A scoped creation reservation keeps a persisted queued handle live through sendMessage preflight.
  • PRRT_kwDOPxxmWM6eSHhY: Retry and monitor-wake flags now require the matching active handle registration. Unrelated flags settle stale handles.

P1 Badge Keep reservations from superseding prior turns

When handle A is live only through its active registration—for example, after a deferred stream-end while descendant work remains—and follow-up B enters send preflight, B's reservation makes hasUncorrelatedCreationReservation true for A. A concurrent task-list or capacity scan therefore terminally interrupts A before B reaches queue admission; if B's send subsequently fails, no replacement turn ever existed and A's waiter/result has already been lost. Creation reservations should keep their own handle live without becoming supersession evidence for other handles until the new send is admitted.

P1 Badge Keep restart retries live before registration

During startup recovery of a non-task workspace, WorkspaceService.initialize() can schedule the correlated auto-retry before any process-local active registration is restored. While that retry is pending, this condition classifies it as uncorrelated solely because hasActiveRegistration is false, so a task-list or capacity scan settles the durable handle as interrupted and rejects its waiter even though the same turn is about to resume. Pending restart retries need correlation from their preserved message metadata, or an equivalent registration established before liveness checks.

…aborts and awaits in-flight streams (Wave 4 PR 1) (coder#4070)

## Summary

`StreamManager` becomes the first (and intended) occupant of
`AppFiberScope`: every started stream is wrapped in one supervisor
fiber, so `ServiceContainer.dispose()` (desktop, `xum server`, ACP) and
the CLI cleanup lists now **abort and await in-flight streams** —
partial flushed with usage, `stream-abort` (`abortReason: "system"`)
delivered, the interrupted assistant message committed into
`chat.jsonl`, `partial.json` removed — *before* the bridges and sessions
are torn down. The same PR closes the two adjacent cancel races the
shutdown path would have widened (Wave 4 plan D3): a cancel landing
after the stream loop finished no longer resurrects `partial.json` or
emits a second terminal event, and concurrent cancellers (user stop
racing dispose) join one cleanup.

## Background

Until now `dispose()` had no `streamManager` step: an in-flight stream
died with the process and was reconciled from `partial.json` (≤ 500 ms
stale) on the *next* load, leaving an empty assistant placeholder row in
`chat.jsonl` until then. `AppFiberScope` (Phase 11) was built for
exactly this and had no occupant. This is PR 1 of the Effect migration
Wave 4 plan (appended below): D1 — the fiber is the
ownership/supervision unit, the `AbortSignal` stays the cancellation
transport; D2 — supervisor topology; D3 — adjacent cancel races; D4 —
the 2 s close bound stays (outer budgets are 5 s).

## Implementation

- **`StreamManager.superviseEngine`** (D2): after
`streamInfo.processingPromise` is assigned (byte-identical) it forks
`Effect.promise(() => processingPromise)` (zero-arity thunk → rc.112
allocates no internal AbortController) into `engineScope` with `{
startImmediately: true }`. `onInterrupt` →
`Effect.uninterruptible(Effect.promise(async () => { await
cancelStreamSafely(ws, info, "system"); await
info.completionController.promise; }))`; `catchDefect` → `log.warn`. A
stream that finishes on its own exits the fiber, which removes its scope
finalizer (no residue). A stream started after the scope closed is
interrupted synchronously by `forkIn` and aborted right away
(fail-closed during shutdown, pinned in `appFiberScope.test.ts`). The
pre-registration window (`pendingStreamStarts`) stays unsupervised
(documented).
- **`engineScope?: Scope.Closeable`** is a trailing optional 6th
constructor parameter, wired from `AppFiberScopeTag` in
`StreamManagerLive` (`di/layers/core.ts`; `AppFiberScopeTag` added to
`CoreInputTags` — both roots already provide it via `runtimeSeams`).
Default `undefined` = today's behavior for every direct construction
(tests, `aiService.ts` compat path).
- **D3(a)** `cleanupAbortedStream`: after `await processingPromise`,
return if `terminalCompletion !== undefined` (completed/failed while the
cancel was in flight). **Plus** a `partialRetired` marker set in the
completion path right before `deletePartial`: `flushPartialWrite`
becomes a no-op afterwards, because the *pre-abort flush* in
`cancelStreamSafely` (not only the abort bookkeeping) re-created
`partial.json` when the cancel landed between `deletePartial` and
`COMPLETED`.
- **D3(b)** `cancelStreamSafely`: per-stream `cancelPromise` latch,
checked and assigned synchronously at entry (after the existing
`COMPLETED` early return, before the first `await`).
`checkSoftCancelStream` shares the latch (`??=`) so a soft interrupt
racing a hard cancel/dispose also yields exactly one `stream-abort`.
- Docs: `appRuntime.ts` contract ("Deliberately not done" updated; step
2 now says what it aborts), `appFiberScope.ts`, `serviceContainer.ts`
step comment. New `[shutdown] streamManager.abortStream { workspaceId,
messageId, ms }` debug line per supervised stream (shutdownStep style).

Net product change: 5 files, +196/−42 (≈ 70 non-comment lines added).

## PR 1 notes

### Pre-work findings

1. **`processStreamWithCleanup` never rejects** — body is `try { … }
catch { await handleStreamFailure } finally { … }`; a throw from
`handleStreamFailure`/`finally` *could* still reject, but `startStream`
assigns `processingPromise =
processStreamWithCleanup(...).catch(log.error)`, so the promise the
supervisor wraps never rejects. `catchDefect` stays as belt-and-braces.
2. **Probe test** (`appFiberScope.test.ts`, +2 cases):
`closeScopeBounded` interrupts a fiber suspended on `Effect.promise`
**without settling the wrapped promise**, runs the async `onInterrupt`
finalizer to completion, and resolves only afterwards
(`["finalizer-start", "finalizer-end"]`).
3. **Abort observers after the finalizer** — the finalizer resolves only
after `completionController.promise`, i.e. after `cleanupAbortedStream`
(`writePartial` with usage) → `emitStreamAbort` → AIService sink
(`readPartial` → `commitPartial` → `deletePartial` →
`emit("stream-abort")` to agentSession/taskService/analytics listeners)
→ `.finally(settle)`. The only work left after it is the EventEmitter
listeners' own async continuations (turn-phase transitions, task-handle
settlement) — the same as today's `system` aborts from `taskService`.
Durable order `writePartial → commitPartial → deletePartial` holds; a
force-exit between any two steps leaves either `partial.json` (recovered
by `agentSession.init`'s `commitPartial`) or an already-committed row
whose `historySequence` update-or-append is idempotent. **No OFF-RAMP
condition fired.**
4. **Measured `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }`** (`xum server`,
SIGTERM, `XUM_LOG_LEVEL=debug`, `script -f`): idle **1 ms**; one flowing
Sonnet 5 stream **56 ms**; two flowing streams **95 ms** (per-stream
`abortStream` 91 / 94 ms, parallel); wedged provider (scratch env-gated
`fullStream` that never yields and ignores abort, not committed) **2050
ms** with the `teardown timed out` warning, `AppRuntime disposed` 5 ms
(idempotent re-close), process exit **2.10 s** after SIGTERM — inside
the 5 s force-exit. Baseline `main`: 1 ms (nothing supervised).
5. **Closed-scope `forkIn` pinned** (`appFiberScope.test.ts`):
`startImmediately: true` into an already-closed scope runs the body to
its first async boundary and then the `onInterrupt` finalizer
synchronously (`["body-started", "interrupted"]`, fiber exit is a
failure). `streamManager.test.ts` pins the product consequence (late
start → `{ status: "aborted", abortReason: "system" }`, one
`stream-abort`, registry empty).

### Deviations from the plan (all additive)

- The supervisor finalizer also awaits `completionController.promise`
(plan: `cancelStreamSafely` only). `cancelStreamSafely` returns *before*
abort delivery — the `stream-abort` sink is where AIService commits the
partial — so without this the close would resolve with `partial.json`
still present and the commit racing `desktopBridgeServer.stop()`. This
is what makes STOP criterion #1 ("`partial.json` absent immediately
after exit") true.
- `partialRetired` (see D3(a) above): the plan's guard alone left the
pre-abort flush as a resurrection path; the D3(a) test was red against
the guard-only variant on exactly that assertion.
- `checkSoftCancelStream` joins the latch: dispose during a pending soft
interrupt (queued-message preemption at tool-end) is the same
double-cleanup shape D3(b) fixes for hard cancels.
- `[shutdown] streamManager.abortStream` debug line — there was no log
line for the abort at all, so the transcript could not show the plan's
`stream-abort → AppFiberScope closed → desktopBridgeServer.stop` order;
it now does.
- Plan §7 (5) `xum run` Ctrl-C transcript: `xum run` installs **no**
SIGINT handler (only `cli/server.ts` does), so Ctrl-C is Node's default
immediate termination (exit 130) and the cleanup list — including
`appFiberScope.close` — runs only on normal completion. The CLI-root
path is pinned by the new `coreServicesRoot.test.ts` case instead;
adding a signal handler to `xum run` is out of scope.

### Dogfooding evidence (transcripts + before/after in the first
comment)

| Scenario (`xum server`, SIGTERM 3 s after first text) | `AppFiberScope
closed` | `partial.json` right after exit | last `chat.jsonl` row |
|---|---|---|---|
| `main` @ 3c06630a7 (baseline) | 1 ms | **present** (1065 chars of
text) | empty assistant placeholder (0 chars) |
| this branch, 1 stream | 56 ms | **absent** | assistant row, `partial:
true`, 1172 chars |
| this branch, 2 streams | 95 ms | absent | assistant rows committed
(933 chars for the new one) |
| this branch, wedged provider | 2050 ms (warn) | n/a (no text produced)
| exit 2.10 s after SIGTERM |

Restart UX (screenshot below, branch): the persisted interrupted text is
shown above the `INTERRUPTED` barrier; the workspace then **auto-resumed
the turn on startup** (agentSession startup auto-retry — `"system"`
aborts do not suppress it). Verified the baseline does the same after it
commits the partial on load (`[STREAM MESSAGE]` right after startup on
`main`), so the only behavioral difference is *when* the partial is
committed (at shutdown vs. next load). Not exercised headless: Electron
`before-quit` (same `dispose()`; CI e2e).

![Recovered interrupted message after SIGTERM mid-stream, then startup
auto-resume](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6a7050a8-de45-46ce-b854-9845de6692d3)

### Lessons for PR 3 (`initialize()` as a startup effect)

- Effect v4 `runPromise`/facades reject with the raw error, so error
identity is free — but any `Effect.promise` thunk wrapping an `await`ed
step must be `async` and the whole pipeline needs `catchDefect` if the
facade must never reject.
- Bounded waits inside `dispose()` are cheap (`disposeAppRuntime` after
a timed-out scope close took 5 ms because `Scope.close` is idempotent);
a startup timeout should equally *not* try to unwind the abandoned step
— parity with the existing "throwing step" path is the whole design.
- `[startup] <step> { ms }` lines are already the right measurement
surface; this run's cold start showed `taskService.initialize` 114 ms
and `workspaceService.initialize` 83 ms, so a 60 s per-step bound is ≥
500× the slowest observed step.
- Keep the `xum run` parity caveat in mind: the CLI roots have no signal
handling, so any "dispose on failed initialize()" work only applies
where a dispose path exists (`cli/server.ts` is the one PR 3 adds).

## Validation

- New behavioral tests: `streamManager.test.ts` (6: flowing close,
wedged bound, late start, D3(a), D3(b) race, 50-stream residue),
`streamManager.chaos.test.ts` (1 new fuzz variant, existing cases
untouched; also ran 7 extra seeds locally), `serviceContainer.test.ts`
(dispose aborts + awaits a real stream before
`desktopBridgeServer.stop()`, checks `partial.json`/`chat.jsonl`),
`coreServicesRoot.test.ts` (same via
`closeScopeBounded(appFiberScope)`), `appFiberScope.test.ts` (2 probes).
- Red checks: the D3(a) test fails without the two guards (2 terminal
events) and the D3(b) test fails without the latch (2 `stream-abort`s).
- Gate suites green: `streamManager.test.ts`,
`streamManager.chaos.test.ts`,
`streamManager.modelOnlyNotifications.test.ts`, `aiService.test.ts`,
`agentSession.disposeRace.test.ts`,
`agentSession.sinceReplayContract.test.ts`, `serviceContainer.test.ts`,
`coreServicesRoot.test.ts`, `di/*.test.ts`, `taskService.test.ts`,
`workspaceService.test.ts` (one unrelated `FakeAIService` metadata test
flaked once in a combined run, green isolated and on rerun),
`turnRequestBuilder.test.ts`; `make static-check`.
- Pre-review audits: interruption posture (the supervisor's only
suspension is the promise; finalizer uninterruptible end-to-end), no
defect escapes (`catchDefect`; async thunks), spy seams unchanged
(`processStreamWithCleanup`, `createStreamResult`,
`createStreamAtomically`, `startStream`; constructor arity
trailing-optional; `Reflect.set/get` targets valid), sync-start
(`processingPromise` assigned before the fork; `runSync(forkIn)`
synchronous), no constructor side effects, zero-suspension latch.

## Risks

- **Shutdown path** (desktop/`xum server`/ACP): a flowing stream now
costs one chunk (~50–100 ms) at dispose; a wedged provider costs the
existing 2 s bound and a warning — identical outcome to today's process
exit. Rollback: revert the one `core.ts` wiring line (`engineScope`
undefined → today's behavior); the D3 guards are independent bug fixes.
- **Cancel semantics**: with the latch, the *first* canceller's
`abortReason`/`abandonPartial` win; a discard racing a system cancel by
a few ms keeps the partial instead of dropping it (previously both
cleanups ran and emitted two aborts).
- **Streams started mid-shutdown** are aborted as `"system"`
(fail-closed): the caller sees a normal `Ok(handle)` whose completion
settles `aborted`, and the turn is recovered on next load exactly like
any other `system` abort.

<summary>📋 Implementation Plan</summary>

# Effect migration — Wave 4: finish the concurrency/lifecycle core

Bounded wave: **4 PRs (PR 4 optional), explicit STOP criterion, explicit
OFF-RAMPs.** Plan only; nothing here is implemented.

> **Review status:** Independently reviewed (adversarial Reviewer
sub-agent, advisor unavailable): APPROVE WITH REQUIRED EDITS — both
edits applied; verified claims: Effect.promise 0-arity thunk allocates
no AbortController (internal/effect.js:741–776); closed-scope
forkIn+startImmediately runs onInterrupt (2237–2274, 391–409); forkIn
observer removes the scope finalizer on exit (2270–2271);
Effect.timeoutOrElse exists (Effect.d.ts:7833); 0 line drift at
b87f62729; 11 settleWorkspaceTurn callers confirmed; 'aborted' ∈
NON_RETRYABLE_STREAM_ERRORS. Line references are to `main` @
`b87f62729`.

## 0. Thesis check (coordinator's judgment vs. evidence)

**Thesis:** Effect's payoff in this app is structured concurrency +
interruption-safe lifecycles in the orchestration core (still Promise +
AbortController).

**Verdict: holds for the stream engine; only half-holds for turn
handles.**

- Stream engine — **holds.** `ServiceContainer.dispose()` never stops or
awaits in-flight streams (`serviceContainer.ts:478–537` has no
`streamManager` step); an in-flight stream dies with the process and is
recovered on next load from `partial.json` (≤ 500 ms stale,
`PARTIAL_WRITE_THROTTLE_MS`, `streamManager.ts:776`). `AppFiberScope`
exists precisely for this and has no occupant. A supervised per-stream
fiber is the right tool.
- Turn handles — **half-holds.** The 7× "superseded by an uncorrelated
workspace stream-end" false-settle is a *correlation-predicate* bug
(`interruptWorkspaceTurnFromUncorrelatedStreamEnd`,
`workspaceTurnManager.ts:4220–4307`: any uncorrelated stream-end after
the prompt index settles the handle `interrupted`), not a
Promise-vs-fiber structure bug. Turn handles are **persisted records**
(`taskHandleStore.upsertWorkspaceTurn`) spanning **multiple streams**
(tool-call continuations are deferred via `hasSameTurnContinuation`,
`:4491`) and surviving restarts; a fiber/Deferred can only model the
in-process waiter and would not fix correlation. Open PR **#3949** fixes
the predicate in Promise idiom and is Codex-green. Wave 4's turn-handle
PR therefore becomes **"codify the settlement invariant + prove the
class is gone"**, not "fiberize handles" (D5 below).

Corrected baseline numbers (measured this workspace): 46/470 `src/node`
non-test files import `effect` (coordinator said 35); 113 direct
`Effect.run*` sites outside `di/` in 16 files; 226 `Effect.gen`; 9
`TaggedError` classes; effect `4.0.0-rc.112`, `@orpc/*` `1.14.11`;
**effect v4 is not GA** (rc line still current).

## 1. Verified current state (evidence the design rests on)

<details>
<summary>Stream engine (streamManager.ts)</summary>

- `startStream` (`:4723–4901`): per-workspace mutex → `new
AbortController()` + `linkAbortSignal` (`:4771–4772`) → `resourceScope =
Scope.makeUnsafe()` (`:4777`) → temp-dir `Effect.acquireRelease`
(`:4802–4824`) → `createStreamAtomically` → `streamText` (`:2244`,
`abortSignal: abortController.signal` `:2250`) → registered in
`workspaceStreams` (`:2463`) → **`streamInfo.processingPromise =
this.processStreamWithCleanup(...)` fire-and-forget (`:4876–4882`)** →
returns `Ok({ messageId, completion })`.
- `processStreamWithCleanup` (`:3331–4089`, plain async): `while(true)`
retry loop; `for await (part of fullStream)` (`:3358–3837`) with abort
check at loop head (`:3361`); post-loop `if (!signal.aborted)` gate
(`:3849`) → completion path (`deletePartial` `:3981`, `updateHistory`
`:3989`, `recordSessionUsage` `:4001`, `state = COMPLETED` `:4017`, emit
`stream-end` `:4023`, `terminalCompletion` `:4024`); error path →
`handleStreamFailure` (`:4094–4112`) → `persistStreamError` writes error
partial; `finally` (`:4052–4088`): release MCP lease,
`Effect.runFork(Scope.close(resourceScope))` (`:4064–4066`), unlink
abort, `workspaceStreams.delete`, `eventSpine.emit("stream.end")`,
`completionController.settle`.
- Cancellation: `stopStream` (`:5043–5111`) → `cancelStreamSafely`
(`:1766–1800`): `if (state === COMPLETED) { await processingPromise;
return }` → `state = STOPPING` → `flushPartialWrite` →
`abortController.abort()` → `cleanupAbortedStream` (`:1828–1951`):
`await processingPromise` → usage → `writePartial` (`:1876–1910`) →
`emitStreamAbort` → `settle({status:"aborted"})`. **No completed-guard
after the await** (verified `:1838–1951`): a cancel landing between
`:3849` and `:4017` re-writes `partial.json` after `deletePartial` and
emits `stream-abort` after `stream-end` (pre-existing window; dispose()
will widen its exposure). `cancelStreamSafely` is also not idempotent
for concurrent callers (only `COMPLETED` is checked).
- AIService on `stream-abort` (`aiService.ts:355–377`): `abandonPartial
? deletePartial : commitPartial → deletePartial` (fire-and-forget
listener).
- Crash recovery: `HistoryService.commitPartial`
(`historyService.ts:1963–2061`) — strips error metadata,
`hasCommitWorthyParts`, stale-epoch check, update-or-append by
`historySequence`, delete partial; invoked from `agentSession.init`
(`:5002`), `aiService.streamMessage` (`:886`), stream-abort (`:364`),
`duplicateWorkspace`.
- `StreamAbortReason = "user" | "startup" | "system"`
(`src/common/orpc/schemas/stream.ts:295`).
- Pinned seams: chaos test `Reflect.set(streamManager, "tokenTracker" |
"createStreamResult")` (`streamManager.chaos.test.ts:130–134, 238–242`);
`streamManager.test.ts` `Reflect.set` on `processStreamWithCleanup`
(`:2787`), `createStreamAtomically` (`:2783`), `createTempDirForStream`,
`cleanupStreamTempDir`, `Reflect.get` on `workspaceStreams`,
`schedulePartialWrite`, …; `modelOnlyNotifications.test.ts` calls
`processStreamWithCleanup` directly (`:93, :187`); `aiService.test.ts`
spies `startStream`, `generateStreamToken`, `createTempDirForStream`,
`isResponseIdLost`. Constructor: `(historyService, sessionUsageService?,
getProvidersConfig?, eventSink = noop, runner = defaultEffectRunner)`
(`:801–813`); `effectRunner` used at `:1152, :1154, :1169` only.
- Every stream event carries `workspaceId` + `messageId`;
`stream-end`/`stream-abort`/`error` carry `metadata.muxMetadata` when
the prompt had it.

<details>
<summary>DI / shutdown / startup</summary>

- `AppFiberScopeLive` is in `CoreLive`'s `runtimeSeams`
(`di/layers/core.ts:644`), so both roots have it; `StreamManagerLive`
(`core.ts:226–238`, stage S2b) already yields `EffectRunnerTag`. CLI
cleanup lists include `appFiberScope.close` (`cli/run.ts:1579`,
`cli/workflow.ts:286`).
- Bounds: `APP_FIBER_SCOPE_CLOSE_TIMEOUT_MS = 2000`,
`APP_RUNTIME_DISPOSE_TIMEOUT_MS = 2000`; outer budgets are **5000 ms**
on both desktop (`desktop/main.ts:1297` `Promise.race` vs
`setTimeout(5000)`) and `xum server` (`cli/server.ts:236–243`
force-exit). **The scope bound cannot grow** without changing outer
budgets.
- rc.112 semantics verified in
`node_modules/effect/dist/internal/effect.js:2264`: `forkIn` registers a
scope finalizer and **removes it when the fiber completes** (no leak),
and **interrupts immediately if the scope is already closed** (streams
starting mid-shutdown fail closed). `Effect.promise(evaluate: (signal)
=> PromiseLike)`, `Effect.onInterrupt`, `Effect.forkIn(_, scope, {
startImmediately? })`, `Stream.toAsyncIterableWith(context)`,
`Stream.provideContext` all exist.
- `ServiceContainer.initialize()` (`serviceContainer.ts:297–362`): six
awaited `initialize()`s wrapped in `recordStep` (durations only, no
catch, no timeout) + three sync `start()`s + two fire-and-forget sweeps.
Failure handling: desktop `Startup Failed` dialog + `app.quit()`
(`desktop/main.ts:1249–1265`); `cli/server.ts:136` uncontained; ACP
`serverConnection.ts:205–216` dispose + rethrow; `tests/ipc/setup.ts:85`
no catch. No outer timeout anywhere.
- `streamBridge.subscriptionIterable` (`orpc/streamBridge.ts:176`) →
`Stream.toAsyncIterable(...)` on the global runtime, 19 call sites in
`routerSubscriptions.ts`; heartbeat via `Effect.sleep` in `forkScoped`
(`:145–152`). `streamBridge.test.ts` has 11 real-time waits, but only
**3 are clock-bound** (`:207` 1 ms initial delay, `:241` heartbeat 10
ms, `:255` 10 ms laziness); 8 are `waitFor(listenerCount…)` readiness
polls that TestClock cannot replace.

<summary>Turn handles + open PRs</summary>

- Handle record `{ handleId "wst_…", ownerWorkspaceId, workspaceId,
turnId, messageId, status, attentionPolicy, disposableWorkspace }`;
prompt carries `muxMetadata: { type:"workspace-turn-task", taskHandleId,
ownerWorkspaceId, turnId }` (`workspaceTurnManager.ts:1420`).
`TaskService` forwards `aiService` `stream-end`/`stream-abort`/`error`
to `finalizeWorkspaceTurnFromStreamEnd` (`:4442–4544`): correlated
branch matches `record.workspaceId && record.turnId` (`:4472`);
**uncorrelated branch** (`metadata == null`, not `agentId ===
"compact"`) → `interruptWorkspaceTurnFromUncorrelatedStreamEnd` →
settles `interrupted` whenever `streamEndIndex >= promptIndex`
(`:4293–4305`). Producers of such uncorrelated ends: bash-monitor wake
continuations, child terminal-attention deliveries, heartbeat, peer
messages, parent auto-resume.
- Cascade: disposable child → `cleanupDisposableWorkspaceTurn` →
`workspaceService.remove(…, true)` kills its background processes;
persistent child → parent sees `interrupted` → `task_stop` →
`backgroundProcessManager.stopMonitor(…, "canceled")`. This is the
observed "monitors died afterwards".
- Settlement chokepoint: `settleWorkspaceTurn(params)` (`:2085`), **11
callers**, guarded by `workspaceTurnSettlementLocks.withLock(handleId)`;
waiters in `pendingWorkspaceTurnWaitersByHandleId` with `setTimeout`
timeouts (`:2425–2496`).
- **#3949** "preserve turns across synthetic wake ends" (coadler):
rewrites the uncorrelated branch — walks history from the turn anchor to
the stream-end and settles *only if a manual child input intervened*
(`isManualChildWorkspaceInput`); otherwise ignores the end. Touches
`:281–295, :4217–4355` + tests (+286/−31). Codex: "Didn't find any major
issues" + clean security on `f9baa2fc9`. `mergeable: MERGEABLE`, but
`Test / Unit` and `Codex Comments` red, 19 commits behind main.
- **#3915** "correlate workspace-turn liveness" (coadler): creation
reservations +
`getWorkspaceTurnLiveness`/`getWorkspaceTurnRuntimeActivity`
(identity-matches the active stream's `muxMetadata` against the record)
for staleness/capacity. Touches `:442–486, :1298, :2573, :3761,
:3800–4064` (+494/−60). `BLOCKED`, latest Codex review has open
findings, `Test / Unit` red, 19 behind.
- Together they are the identity-correlated model the coordinator wants:
#3915 = identity-correlated *liveness*, #3949 = identity-gated
*settlement*.

## 2. Design decisions

**D1 — Fibers WRAP the AbortController; they do not replace it.**
The AI SDK is cancelled only via `AbortSignal`; the `for await` loop,
soft-interrupt at step boundaries, retry/fallback re-creation of
`streamResult`, and ~30 abort touchpoints (#4032) all key off the
signal. Converting the 750-line loop to `Stream.fromAsyncIterable` +
fiber interruption would touch hundreds of `WorkspaceStreamInfo`
transitions and break the
`processStreamWithCleanup`/`createStreamResult` spy seams. Instead:
**the fiber is the ownership/supervision unit; the signal stays the
cancellation transport.** The dual-cancellation glue #4032 feared is
confined to **one** point — the supervisor's `onInterrupt` — which
routes through the existing user-stop path (`cancelStreamSafely`), so
shutdown ≡ "user pressed stop" semantically (partial flushed with usage,
`stream-abort` emitted, `completion` settles `aborted`, AIService
commits the partial).

**D2 — Supervisor topology: one supervisor fiber per stream in
`AppFiberScope`, wrapping the already-started `processingPromise`.**
`streamInfo.processingPromise = this.processStreamWithCleanup(...)`
stays byte-identical (sync-start preserved;
`Reflect.set(processStreamWithCleanup)` seam preserved;
`cleanupAbortedStream`'s `await processingPromise` unchanged).
Immediately after it:

```ts
// startStream, after processingPromise is assigned (unsupervised path unchanged when no scope)
this.superviseEngine(typedWorkspaceId, streamInfo);

private superviseEngine(workspaceId: WorkspaceId, streamInfo: WorkspaceStreamInfo): void {
  if (this.engineScope === undefined) return;               // direct construction / CLI tests: today's behavior
  assert(streamInfo.engineFiber === undefined, "engine already supervised");
  // Zero-arity thunk on purpose: rc.112 allocates an internal AbortController only
  // when `evaluate.length !== 0`; the stream's own controller stays the sole signal.
  const supervisor = Effect.promise(() => streamInfo.processingPromise).pipe(
    Effect.onInterrupt(() =>
      Effect.uninterruptible(   // explicit, per house doctrine (finalizers are already uninterruptible)
        Effect.promise(async () => this.cancelStreamSafely(workspaceId, streamInfo, "system"))
      )
    ),
    Effect.catchDefect((d) => Effect.sync(() => log.warn("[stream] engine supervisor defect", { workspaceId, error: d })))
  );
  streamInfo.engineFiber = this.effectRunner.runSync(
    Effect.forkIn(supervisor, this.engineScope, { startImmediately: true })
  );
}
```
- `Effect.promise` is interruptible while suspended
(`internal/effect.js:741–801`, Async op); `onInterrupt` =
`onErrorFilter(causeFilterInterruptors, …)` (`:1762`); `forkIn`
registers `fiberInterrupt(fiber)` as the scope finalizer (`:2264–2275`),
`fiberInterrupt` awaits the fiber (`:635–642`), and parallel
`scopeClose` awaits all finalizers via `fiberAwaitAll` (`:1590–1601`) →
`closeScopeBounded` at dispose step 2 gives "interrupt **and** await"
while `historyService`/`sessionUsage`/`eventSink → AIService → bridge
servers` are still alive (bridges stop in step 3, so clients receive
`stream-abort`).
- Normal completion: fiber exits → `forkIn`'s observer removes the scope
finalizer (verified) → no per-stream residue.
- Stream started after step 2: `forkIn` on a closed scope calls
`fiber.interruptUnsafe` synchronously and returns the fiber
(`:2272–2274`, `runSync` does not defect). With `startImmediately:
true`, `forkUnsafe` runs `child.evaluate` synchronously (`:2233–2247`)
up to the `Effect.promise` Async op (`:772–801`), so the fiber is
suspended (`_running=false`) when the interrupt lands and
`interruptUnsafe` (`:391–409`) unwinds the stack through the
`onInterrupt` handler → the stream is aborted as `system` (fail-closed
during shutdown). Verified in rc.112 internals (`effect.js:2233–2247,
391–409`); **pin with a test** ("stream started after scope close is
aborted") so an RC bump cannot silently change it.
- `"system"` is semantically exact: `"user"`/`"startup"` suppress
next-startup recovery (`retryEligibility.ts:114–118, 284–287`),
`"system"` marks an involuntary backend interruption (as
`taskService.ts:8100, 8223` use it). **No in-session retry loop is
possible:** the `stream-abort` handler (`agentSession.ts:6010`) routes
`{ type: "aborted" }` to `retryManager.handleStreamFailure`, and
`"aborted"` is in `NON_RETRYABLE_STREAM_ERRORS`
(`retryEligibility.ts:49–59, 106`) → `retryManager.ts:99–104` abandons
immediately, never schedules a fiber. Dogfooding still checks the
*restart* UX (the recovered partial is shown as interrupted; note
whether any next-startup recovery re-sends — same class as today's
`system` aborts from `taskService`).
- `engineScope` arrives as an **optional 6th constructor parameter**
(`engineScope?: Scope.Closeable`), wired from `AppFiberScopeTag` in
`StreamManagerLive` (`core.ts:226`). Default `undefined` keeps every
direct-construction test and `aiService.ts:174` path identical (I4).
`AppFiberScopeLive` already sits beneath S2b in `runtimeSeams`, so no
staging change (I6).
- Abort reason: reuse **`"system"`** — no wire/schema change; UI copy
for `system` already exists.
- Pending-start window (`pendingStreamStarts`, before registration) is
**not** supervised: nothing is persisted for it yet, and `stopStream`
already aborts pending controllers. Documented, not fixed.

**D3 — Fix the two adjacent cancel races in the same PR (closely-related
bugs, not deferrals).**
(a) `cleanupAbortedStream`: after `await processingPromise`, if
`streamInfo.terminalCompletion !== undefined` (completed/failed while
the cancel was in flight) → return without abort bookkeeping (prevents
`partial.json` resurrection after `deletePartial` and a `stream-abort`
after `stream-end`). (b) `cancelStreamSafely` (`:1766`): latch a
per-stream `cancelPromise` so concurrent cancellers (user stop racing
dispose) join one cleanup → exactly one `stream-abort`, one `settle`.
**Zero-suspension requirement:** the latch must be checked and assigned
**synchronously at function entry, before any `await`** (the current
first await is `flushPartialWrite` at `:1789`) — otherwise racing
callers can both enter `cleanupAbortedStream`. Shape:

```ts
if (streamInfo.cancelPromise) return streamInfo.cancelPromise;
streamInfo.cancelPromise = (async () => { /* existing body, unchanged */ })();
return streamInfo.cancelPromise;
```
Both are ≤ 10 LoC and get behavioral tests.

**D4 — Shutdown bound stays 2 s; the finalizer must be fast or
abandoned.**
Outer budgets are 5 s; 2 s + 2 s already consume 4 s. A flowing stream
aborts within one chunk; a wedged provider (no chunks, ignores abort)
hits the existing `boundedTeardown` timeout: warning, continue, process
exit — identical to today's outcome. Dogfooding measures the actual
`[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }` with a live stream.

**D5 — Turn handles: codify the settlement invariant; do not fiberize.**
Invariant: *a workspace-turn handle settles terminally only by (i) a
stream terminal event whose `muxMetadata` correlates `{taskHandleId,
ownerWorkspaceId, turnId}` to the record; (ii) an explicit interrupt
(`task_stop`/`interruptWorkspaceTurn`); (iii) manual supersession — a
manual child input after the turn anchor; (iv) stale-liveness
reconciliation.* An uncorrelated stream-end is **never** terminal by
itself. #3949 makes (iii) the only uncorrelated outcome; #3915
implements (iv) by identity. Wave 4 adds a `cause` discriminant to
`settleWorkspaceTurn` (the single chokepoint) with a runtime assertion,
plus the regression harness. Rationale for not converting waiters to
`Deferred`/fibers: no behavioral gain, 4.9k-line file, and the
coordinator's "settle only on the owning stream's termination" is
over-specified — a turn owns *several* streams.

**D6 — Startup: `initialize()` stays a Promise facade over a runtime-run
startup effect; timeout ⇒ same failure path as a thrown step.**
Each step is `Effect.tryPromise({ try: async () => step(), catch:
identity }).pipe(Effect.timeoutOrElse({ duration:
STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS, orElse: () => Effect.fail(new
StartupStepTimeoutError(name, ms)) }))` (`timeoutOrElse` exists in
rc.112, `Effect.d.ts:7833`; chosen over `timeout` + `catchTag` because
the step's error channel is `unknown`, which `catchTag` cannot narrow).
No `forkDetach` needed: a Promise step keeps running on its own when the
waiting fiber times out (not inside an uninterruptible region, so the
timeout interrupts the wait directly). `StartupStepTimeoutError extends
Error` with `name = "StartupStepTimeoutError"` set in the constructor
and message `"<step> exceeded <ms> ms"` (so the desktop dialog's error
formatting shows both the class and the step name) → desktop shows it in
the existing `Startup Failed` dialog; CLI/ACP/tests paths unchanged.
Step **errors keep their identity** (v4 `runPromise` rejects with the
raw failure). Downgrading any step to best-effort is a **policy change,
out of scope** (audit of the six implementations:
extensionMetadata/telemetry/experiments are local fs, <50 ms; policy has
its own 10 s fetch timeout; workspaceService bounds its sync internally;
only `taskService.initialize` — config scan + `editConfig` + recovery
`sendMessage`s — is potentially unbounded). The three `start()`s stay
sync (`Effect.sync`), the two fire-and-forget sweeps stay outside the
effect. `stepDurationsMs` is preserved.
**Abandon-and-quit safety:** an abandoned `taskService.initialize` may
be mid-`editConfig` when the root exits. Parity requirement for PR 3:
after a rejected `initialize()`, every root runs the bounded `dispose()`
before exiting. Verified: desktop already does — `services` is assigned
before the await (`main.ts:653–656`), the catch calls `app.quit()`, and
the `before-quit` listener (`:1271–1305`, guard `if (isDisposing ||
!services) return`) races `services.dispose()` against 5 s; ACP does
(`serverConnection.ts:205–216`); **`cli/server.ts` does not**
(`:133–136` awaited at top level, `main().catch` at `:282` only logs) →
PR 3 adds a bounded `dispose()` there (≤ 10 LoC, same 5 s budget).

**D7 — streamBridge: thread the runtime context, not a runner.**
`subscriptionIterable` gains `context?: Context.Context<never>` →
`Stream.toAsyncIterableWith(context)`; `routerSubscriptions` passes the
handler's `"effect/context"`. Production behavior identical; heartbeat
sleeps on the runtime `Clock`; tests can run the 3 clock-bound waits on
`TestClock`. Honest scope: the 8 readiness polls stay.

## 3. PRs (ordered by value ÷ risk; each independently mergeable)

### PR 1 — StreamManager engine core becomes the first `AppFiberScope`
occupant
**Value:** high (the only remaining shutdown data-integrity gap; the
reason `AppFiberScope` exists). **Risk:** medium → low with D1/D2. **Net
product LoC ≈ +55** (`superviseEngine` ~25, ctor param/field ~5,
`engineFiber` field ~2, D3 guards ~12, `core.ts` wiring ~2, doc updates
in `appRuntime.ts`/`appFiberScope.ts` "occupant" text ~10).

Files: `src/node/services/streamManager.ts`,
`src/node/services/di/layers/core.ts`,
`src/node/services/di/appRuntime.ts` + `appFiberScope.ts` (docs), tests
below.

Pre-work (before writing product code; each yields a note in the PR
body):
1. Confirm `processStreamWithCleanup` never rejects (try/catch/finally
shape `:3331–4089`); else the supervisor must fold rejections (it
already `catchDefect`s).
2. Confirm `Effect.promise` interruption + `onInterrupt` await ordering
under `Scope.close` in a 20-line probe test (pattern of
`appFiberScope.test.ts:27–47`).
3. Enumerate abort observers that run *after* the finalizer resolves
(AIService `stream-abort` listener → `commitPartial`; agentSession
completion continuations) and confirm the durable order (`writePartial`
→ commit → `deletePartial`) makes a mid-flight `process.exit`
recoverable on next load (it is: partial survives until commit
completes).
4. Measure: `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }` with a live stream
in the sandbox (D4).
5. Pin (same probe test): a fiber forked with `startImmediately: true`
into an already-closed scope still runs its `onInterrupt` finalizer
(reviewer-verified in rc.112 internals; the test guards RC bumps).

Acceptance (behavioral tests only):
- `streamManager.test.ts` (new cases; existing cases untouched): with
`engineScope = Scope.makeUnsafe("parallel")` and a fake
`createStreamResult` whose `fullStream` yields one `text-delta` then
blocks until its `AbortSignal` fires — `closeScopeBounded(engineScope)`
resolves; `writePartial` was called with the streamed text; exactly one
`stream-abort` (`abortReason: "system"`) and zero `stream-end`;
`completion` settles `{status:"aborted"}`; `workspaceStreams` is empty.
- Wedged provider (fullStream never yields, ignores abort):
`closeScopeBounded` resolves within the bound, never rejects, warns once
(assert the returned promise resolves and no throw; do **not** assert
log text).
- No-scope construction: identical event sequence to today (guards
existing suites; no new assertions needed beyond the unchanged suites
passing).
- D3(a): cancel issued after the loop exits but before `COMPLETED` →
history has exactly one final message, `partial.json` absent, event
order `stream-end` only.
- D3(b): `stopStream` + `closeScopeBounded` racing on one stream →
exactly one `stream-abort`, one settle.
- Fiber residue: after 50 completed streams,
`closeScopeBounded(engineScope)` emits zero `stream-abort` and completes
in the same tick class as an empty scope (assert no aborts and
`workspaceStreams.size === 0`).
- `streamManager.chaos.test.ts` — existing cases byte-identical; **one
new fuzz variant** constructs with an engine scope and closes it at a
random iteration: every stream settles **exactly once** (count terminal
events per `messageId` ≤ 1, all `completion` promises settle).
- `serviceContainer.test.ts`: "dispose() aborts and awaits an in-flight
stream before `desktopBridgeServer.stop()`" (extend the ordering harness
at `:295–323`); `coreServicesRoot.test.ts`: `xum run` cleanup list does
the same via `appFiberScope.close`.

Gate suites: `streamManager.test.ts`, `streamManager.chaos.test.ts`,
`streamManager.modelOnlyNotifications.test.ts`, `aiService.test.ts`,
`agentSession.disposeRace.test.ts`,
`agentSession.sinceReplayContract.test.ts`, `serviceContainer.test.ts`,
`coreServicesRoot.test.ts`, `di/*.test.ts`, `taskService.test.ts`,
`workspaceService.test.ts`, `turnRequestBuilder.test.ts`; `make
static-check`.

House pre-review audits: interruption posture (supervisor's only
suspension is the promise; finalizer uninterruptible end-to-end incl.
`cancelStreamSafely` → `cleanupAbortedStream`); no defect escapes
(`catchDefect` on the supervisor; `Effect.promise` thunks `async`);
spy-seam check (`processStreamWithCleanup`, `createStreamResult`,
`createStreamAtomically`, `startStream` signatures unchanged;
constructor arity unchanged, trailing optional); sync-start
(`processingPromise` assigned before fork; `runSync(forkIn)` completes
synchronously); no constructor side-effects added; zero-suspension check
on D3(b) latch (`cancelPromise` checked-and-assigned synchronously at
`cancelStreamSafely` entry, before the first `await` at `:1789`; review
the diff for any inserted `await`/lookup ahead of the assignment).

Rollback: revert the `core.ts` wiring line → `engineScope` undefined →
today's behavior; D3 guards can stay (independent bug fixes).

### PR 2 — Turn-settlement invariant + false-settle regression harness
(gated on #3949)
**Value:** high (7× production race). **Risk:** low. **Net product LoC ≈
+40** (`WorkspaceTurnSettlementCause` union + `cause` on
`settleWorkspaceTurn` params + assert ~10; 11 call sites × 1–3 lines).

Relationship to open PRs — explicit:
- **#3949 is the fix and a hard prerequisite.** PR 2 rebases on it,
changes none of its logic
(`interruptWorkspaceTurnFromUncorrelatedStreamEnd`,
`isWorkspaceTurnAnchorForRecord`, `isManualChildWorkspaceInput`), and
adds the invariant + proof on top. If #3949 has not merged when PRs 1/3
are done: **do not fork a competing fix**; report to the coordinator,
offer the regression test file to #3949's author as a review artifact,
and hold PR 2 (it is not on any other PR's critical path).
- **#3915 is a soft prerequisite.** Its diff (`:3800–4064` incl.
`settleStaleWorkspaceTurn`, a `settleWorkspaceTurn` caller) overlaps PR
2's one-line-per-caller change. Prefer landing after it; if PR 2 must go
first, the conflict is a one-line `cause:` addition per caller. PR 2
never edits liveness/reservation code.
- Wave 4 does not otherwise touch `workspaceTurnManager.ts`.

Design: `type WorkspaceTurnSettlementCause` enumerated from the 11
callers (audited at `main` @ `b87f62729`): `:1373` creation validation
failure; `:1476` pre-stream interrupt during launch; `:1500`/`:1518`
pre-stream send failure; `:3834`/`:3863` stale-liveness recovery /
restart timeout (`settleStaleWorkspaceTurn` — #3915's region); `:4301`
**uncorrelated-stream-end manual supersession** (the only uncorrelated
settle in the codebase; the path #3949 rewrites); `:4529` correlated
terminal; `:4571` stream-abort; `:4675` deferred stream error; `:4736`
terminal stream error. `settleWorkspaceTurn` asserts `params.cause` is a
member and, for `manual-supersession`, that the superseding input's
`messageId` is supplied — turning D5 into an exhaustive `Record<Cause,
…>` check rather than prose, so a future "settle on uncorrelated end"
cannot be added without naming (and justifying) a cause.

Acceptance:
- New `workspaceTurnManager.uncorrelatedStreamEnd.test.ts` (real
`WorkspaceTurnManager` + `TaskHandleStore` + fake `aiService` emitter,
following the existing suite's harness): (1) create turn → correlated
`stream-start` → **synthetic wake stream** on the same child ends
uncorrelated after the anchor → handle stays `running`, waiter
unresolved, no disposable cleanup, no terminal attention → correlated
`stream-end` → `completed`. (2) same with `finishReason:"tool-calls"`
continuation in between. (3) manual child input between anchor and end →
`interrupted` with `cause: manual-supersession`. (4) explicit
`interruptWorkspaceTurn` → `interrupted`, `cause: explicit-interrupt`.
Case (1) is the **scripted reproduction**: it must **fail on the
pre-#3949 merge-base** (run the file from a sibling worktree at `git
merge-base origin/main <#3949 head>`; record the failing assertion in
the PR body) and pass after.
- Existing 113 `workspaceTurnManager.test.ts` cases and
`taskService.test.ts` turn cases unchanged.

Gate suites: `workspaceTurnManager.test.ts`, `taskService.test.ts`,
`taskHandleStore.test.ts`, `tools/task*.test.ts`; `make static-check`.

Audits: spy-seam (`getWorkspaceTurn`, `listAllWorkspaceTurns`,
`enqueueTerminalAttention`, `deliverPersistentChildWorkspaceTurnResult`
untouched); settlement lock held across the assert; no new suspension
inside `withLock`.

Rollback: revert; the test file stays valid against #3949 alone (drop
the `cause` assertions).

### PR 3 — `ServiceContainer.initialize()` as a runtime-run startup
effect with per-step timeouts
**Value:** medium (a hung `taskService.initialize()` currently pins the
splash screen forever; deterministic TestClock tests of startup).
**Risk:** low–medium. **Net product LoC ≈ +80** (step table ~20,
timed-step helper ~15, `StartupStepTimeoutError` ~8, constant ~3, facade
~10, root dispose-on-failure parity ≤ 10, doc update ~10).

Files: `serviceContainer.ts`, `src/constants/terminationTimeouts.ts`
(keep with the termination constants so the budget doc stays in one
place), `cli/server.ts` (dispose in the startup catch if missing),
`di/appRuntime.ts` doc ("Deliberately not done" → remove the
initialize() line; add startup contract).

Design (D6): `initialize(): Promise<void>` →
`this.runtime.managed.runPromise(this.startupEffect())`. `startupEffect
= Effect.gen` over an ordered `readonly steps: ReadonlyArray<{ name,
run: () => Promise<void> }>` (assert names unique); each step:
`recordStep` timing kept, `Effect.tryPromise({ try: async () => run(),
catch: identity }).pipe(Effect.timeoutOrElse({ duration:
STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS, orElse: () => Effect.fail(new
StartupStepTimeoutError(name, STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS)) }))`. Then
`Effect.sync` for the three `start()`s; the sweeps remain after
`runPromise`. Constant `STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS` — pre-work measures
`[startup] <step> { ms }` across sandbox cold starts and picks ≥ 10× the
slowest observed (propose 60 s; must be generous — a false timeout turns
a slow-but-fine start into a crash). Roots dispose after a rejected
`initialize()` (D6 abandon-and-quit safety).

Acceptance (all in `serviceContainer.test.ts`, TestClock via the
existing `AppLive` spy at `:355–395`):
- A step that never resolves → `initialize()` rejects with
`StartupStepTimeoutError` naming the step after exactly
`TestClock.adjust(STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS)`; later steps did not run.
- A rejecting step → `initialize()` rejects with **the same error
object** (identity), later steps did not run (parity with today).
- Happy path → `stepDurationsMs` has all six keys; `start()`s called
once each; second `initialize()` call behavior unchanged from today
(verify whether re-entry is guarded today; preserve).
- `tests/ipc` harness and ACP entry still pass unchanged.

Gate suites: `serviceContainer.test.ts`, `coreServicesRoot.test.ts`,
`di/*.test.ts`, `src/node/acp/*.test.ts`, `TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest
tests/ipc` (smoke subset); `make static-check`.

Audits: I1 untouched (no layer body changes); I2 (only the composition
root touches the runtime); error identity preserved (no wrapping);
abandoned-step safety — every root runs bounded `dispose()` after a
rejected `initialize()` (D6; `cli/server.ts` gains it in this PR); no
sweep moved into the effect; the six-step order and `[startup] <step>`
names unchanged.

Rollback: revert; constant removal.

### PR 4 (optional — cut if budget is exhausted) — `streamBridge` on the
runtime context
**Value:** low (closes the last documented "global runtime" exception;
enables TestClock for the heartbeat). **Risk:** low. **Net product LoC ≈
+30** (`context?` option + `toAsyncIterableWith` ~8; 19 call sites × 1
line via one shared helper in `routerSubscriptions.ts` ~3).

Acceptance: the 3 clock-bound waits (`:207, :241, :255`) run on
`TestClock`; the heartbeat test asserts N heartbeats after
`TestClock.adjust(N × interval)` with zero real time; existing
behavioral assertions unchanged; `tests/ipc` subscription tests pass. Do
not rewrite the 8 readiness polls.

Gate suites: `streamBridge.test.ts`, `routerSubscriptions*.test.ts`,
`orpc/*.test.ts`, `TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest tests/ipc`
(subscription subset); `make static-check`.

Audits: `Stream.toAsyncIterableWith` preserves double-close safety (pin
with the existing test); `Cause.Done` typing unchanged; no
`Scope`/`MemoMap`/`Scheduler` captured (pass the oRPC `effect/context`,
which the DI layer already strips per `EffectRunnerLive`); `context`
stays optional so direct callers/tests without a runtime keep today's
global-runtime path.

Rollback: revert; the optional `context` default (`Context.empty()`) is
exactly today's `toAsyncIterable`, so a partial revert of call sites is
also safe.

### Execution order and size
Net product LoC for the wave ≈ **+205** (PR 1 ≈ +55, PR 2 ≈ +40, PR 3 ≈
+80, PR 4 ≈ +30); tests ≈ +600–800. PR 1 starts immediately. PR 2 starts
the moment #3949 merges (parallel with PR 1/3 — disjoint files). PR 3
after PR 1 merges (both touch `appRuntime.ts` docs; PR 3 also touches
`serviceContainer.ts`). PR 4 last, only if PRs 1–3 landed and no
OFF-RAMP fired. Each PR: Codex dual review, `Codex Comments`
minimization, merge queue; commit WIP early (`/tmp` wipes).

## 4. STOP criterion (measurable) and OFF-RAMPs

Wave 4 is **done** — and the Effect migration line **stops** without a
new RFC — when all hold:
1. **dispose() awaits in-flight streams:** `serviceContainer.test.ts`
ordering test + `coreServicesRoot.test.ts` pass on main; a sandbox
`script -f` transcript of `xum server` receiving SIGTERM mid-stream
shows `stream-abort` → `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }` →
`[shutdown] desktopBridgeServer.stop`, and immediately after exit
`partial.json` is absent while `chat.jsonl` contains the interrupted
assistant message (baseline on `main`: `partial.json` present, message
absent until next load). `{ ms }` < 2000 in the flowing-stream case.
2. **False-settle class eliminated:** the scripted reproduction fails on
the pre-#3949 merge-base and passes on main after PR 2;
`settleWorkspaceTurn` rejects any settlement without an enumerated
cause; the coordinator's own Mux sessions show zero "superseded by an
uncorrelated workspace stream-end" in the two weeks after PR 2 (soft
signal, logged in the wave summary).
3. **Startup:** timeout and error-identity tests pass under TestClock;
`[startup]` per-step lines unchanged in the sandbox transcript; a
throwaway build with the constant set to 1 ms shows `Startup failed:
StartupStepTimeoutError: <step> exceeded 1 ms` and a clean exit.
4. **No new lifecycle flakes:** 0 failures attributable to the touched
suites across **N = 20** consecutive *completed* `Test / Unit` runs on
`main` after the last Wave 4 merge — query `gh run list --workflow
pr.yml --branch main --limit 60 --json
databaseId,status,conclusion,event,headSha` (note: `gh run list --json`
serializes these fields in **lowercase**, e.g.
`{"status":"completed","conclusion":"success"}`, unlike
`statusCheckRollup`), keep `status === "completed"` (pending runs have
an empty `conclusion`, not null), take the newest 20, and for any run
with `conclusion !== "success"` (case-insensitive normalization
acceptable) inspect the failing job's log for the touched suite names
(job `timeout`/`cancelled` from the 15-min budget is not a flake); plus
green merge-queue runs for each PR. Any attributable flake → fix or
revert before declaring done.

**OFF-RAMP (PR 1):** fires if pre-work 1–3 shows (a) routing shutdown
through `cancelStreamSafely` cannot preserve crash-recovery semantics
without changing `cleanupAbortedStream`'s contract beyond D3, (b) the
chaos variant exposes a double-settle not closable by D3(b), or (c) the
finalizer cannot fit the 2 s bound for flowing streams. Then: stop PR 1,
keep `AppFiberScope` unoccupied, update `appRuntime.ts` "Deliberately
not done" with the concrete blocker and the measured evidence, land D3
alone as a bug-fix PR. PRs 2–4 are independent and proceed.
**OFF-RAMP (PR 3):** if error identity or the `tests/ipc`/ACP paths
cannot be preserved, keep `initialize()` as is and record why.
**OFF-RAMP (PR 2):** #3949 not merged → hold (see PR 2).

## 5. Risk register

| Risk | Likelihood | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Crash-recovery regression: double commit / partial resurrection when
shutdown-abort races completion | medium (window widens with dispose())
| D3(a) guard + test; `commitPartial`'s `historySequence`
update-or-append is idempotent (`historyService.ts:2036–2041`) |
| Provider abort emits an `error` chunk → error path instead of abort
path | low | identical to today's user-stop path (parity); chaos variant
covers hostile streams |
| Wedged provider pins the 2 s bound → warning every shutdown | low |
`boundedTeardown` already bounds; transcript measures; no budget change
possible (5 s outer) |
| AIService `stream-abort` listener (`commitPartial`) still in flight
when `process.exit` runs | low | durable order writePartial → commit →
deletePartial; next-load recovery; PR 1 transcript checks `partial.json`
is already gone when `cli/server.ts` logs its final cleanup line before
`process.exit(0)` (`:252–266`) |
| Chaos-test seams (`createStreamResult`, `tokenTracker`) | none if
scope-less construction stays default | new variant added, old cases
untouched |
| Collision with #3915/#3949 | medium | PR 2 gated; no edits to their
regions; one-line `cause:` conflicts only |
| RC churn (rc.113+ renames
`forkIn`/`onInterrupt`/`toAsyncIterableWith`) | low | all Effect imports
already in `streamManager.ts`/`streamBridge.ts`; pins fixed; GA upgrade
is a separate lockstep PR (§6) |
| Startup false timeout on slow hosts | medium if constant too small |
measure first; ≥ 10× slowest observed; generous default (60 s) |
| Sync-start assumptions in tests that
`Reflect.set(processStreamWithCleanup)` | low | promise assigned before
fork; forkIn `runSync` synchronous |
| `shutdown()` (desktop second `before-quit` listener) still does not
await streams | accepted | contract says `shutdown()` never touches the
runtime; desktop's dispose race is the covered path |
| Streams starting during shutdown | covered | `forkIn` on closed scope
interrupts immediately → `system` abort (`startImmediately` semantics
verified in rc.112; pinned by test) |
| `system` abort triggers an in-session RetryManager retry during
shutdown | **unreachable** (verified) | `"aborted"` ∈
`NON_RETRYABLE_STREAM_ERRORS` → `retryManager.ts:99–104` abandons; no
fiber scheduled |
| PR 3: abandoned `taskService.initialize` mid-`editConfig` when the
root exits after a timeout | low | desktop/ACP already dispose on
startup failure; PR 3 adds the missing `cli/server.ts` dispose; config
writes are lock/journal-protected |
| `startImmediately`/`onInterrupt` semantics differ in a later RC | low
| pinned by the probe test in `appFiberScope.test.ts` style; RC bumps
are a separate lockstep PR |

## 6. Standing item — effect v4 GA + `@orpc/experimental-effect`
lockstep (analysis only)

v4 is **not GA** (rc.112 is current; v3 `3.x` remains the stable line).
No PR this wave. When GA ships: one lockstep PR bumping `effect` + all
`@orpc/*` (`1.14.11` today; check the GA-compatible
`@orpc/experimental-effect`), canary gates = `di/*.test.ts`,
`streamBridge.test.ts`, `streamManager.test.ts`,
`serviceContainer.test.ts`, `TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest tests/ipc`,
`make static-check`. The `Context → ServiceMap` rename risk is
firewalled: `Context.Service` tags, `Context.omit/get`, `Layer`,
`ManagedRuntime`, `TestClock` live only under `di/` +
`orpc/effectContext.ts`; `streamManager.ts`/`streamBridge.ts` use
`Effect`/`Scope`/`Fiber`/`Exit`/`Stream`/`Queue`/`Cause` only. PR 4 adds
one `Context.Context<never>` type reference to `streamBridge.ts` — keep
it as a type-only import so a rename is a one-line fix.

## 7. Dogfooding (per PR; evidence attached to the PR with `gh …
--attach`)

Common setup: `make dev-server-sandbox
DEV_SERVER_SANDBOX_ARGS="--clean-projects"` (or `xum server` on a temp
`XUM_ROOT`) with `XUM_LOG_LEVEL=debug`, run under `script -f
~/wave4-scratch/<pr>-<scenario>.log`; scratch under
`$HOME/wave4-scratch/` (never `/tmp`). Drive the UI with `agent-browser`
(`open` → `snapshot -i` → click the explicit "Send message" ref;
re-snapshot after typing). Screenshots are primary evidence; record WebM
and finalize with `ffmpeg -c copy`.

- **PR 1:** (1) start a long stream (prompt that streams ~30 s), wait
3–5 s, `kill -TERM <server pid>`; transcript must show the order in STOP
#1 and `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }`; (2) `ls
<XUM_ROOT>/sessions/<ws>/partial.json` (absent) + `tail -n 1 chat.jsonl`
(interrupted assistant message); (3) restart, open the workspace in
agent-browser, screenshot the persisted interrupted message; (4) same
scenario on `main` for the baseline diff; (5) `xum run` Ctrl-C
mid-stream transcript (CLI root parity); (6) quality gate between
phases: gate suites green before the sandbox run, sandbox evidence
before requesting review.
- **PR 2:** primary evidence is the regression file run on both the
merge-base worktree (failing output) and the branch (passing).
Secondary: sandbox parent workspace delegates via `task` kind=workspace
to a child that arms a background bash monitor firing within ~10 s and
keeps working ~60 s; screenshot the parent's task result (baseline
`main`: `interrupted … uncorrelated workspace stream-end`; after:
`completed`) and the child's log lines.
- **PR 3:** `xum server` cold start transcript with `[startup] <step> {
ms }` for the six steps (parity); throwaway worktree build with
`STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS = 1` → transcript of `Startup failed:
StartupStepTimeoutError …` and exit code (do not ship); desktop dialog
cannot be shown headless — cite the unchanged
`desktop/main.ts:1249–1265` catch.
- **PR 4:** agent-browser session left idle 60 s with the connection
indicator visible (heartbeats keep it green) + screenshot;
`streamBridge.test.ts` on TestClock.

## 8. Non-goals (restated; out of this wave)

Typed-error propagation sweep / removing the ~113 facades; converting
services to `yield*`-based Effect services; PubSub for the internal
EventEmitter bus; Schema at persistence boundaries; Effect
observability; converting sync read paths, AI-SDK per-request callbacks,
cross-process lock interiors, or deterministic try-lock funnels;
replacing `AbortController` as the SDK cancellation transport;
converting the `fullStream` loop to `Stream`; fiberizing turn-handle
waiters; downgrading startup steps to best-effort; changing outer quit
budgets; supervising the pre-registration stream-start window;
`shutdown()` semantics; the effect GA bump (standing analysis only).

…r-step timeouts (Wave 4 PR 3) (coder#4076)

## Summary

Wave 4 PR 3 (plan §2 D6 / §3 "PR 3"):
`ServiceContainer.initializeCore()` is now a Promise facade over a
**startup effect run on the app runtime** — one `Effect.gen` over an
ordered table of the five hard startup steps, each `Effect.tryPromise`
(identity catch) bounded by
`Effect.timeoutOrElse(STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS)` on the runtime's
`Clock`. A hung step no longer pins the splash screen / listener bind
forever: after 60 s it fails startup with a `StartupStepTimeoutError`
(`"<step> exceeded <ms> ms"`, `step`/`timeoutMs` fields) through the
roots' **unchanged** failure paths. Step errors keep their identity;
later steps do not run; the five step names/order and the `[startup]
ServiceContainer.initialize completed { stepDurationsMs }` payload are
unchanged. Every process root now runs the bounded `dispose()` before
exiting on a rejected startup (D6 abandon-and-quit safety):
`cli/server.ts` gains it, and the ACP root's existing catch **did not**
dispose after a rejected `initialize()` (`if (initialized)` guard — the
plan's claim that it did was wrong), so it does now.

## Background

- Plan: `~/.xum/plans/mux/effect-wave4-lifecycle-core-plan.md`
(collapsed below); PR 1 = coder#4070; the plan predates coder#4058, which split
`initialize()` into `initializeCore()` (hard steps, gate the server
listener) + `runStartupHousekeeping()` (best-effort, abort-signal
cancellable). This PR targets `initializeCore()` only.
- `runStartupHousekeeping()` is deliberately untouched: its steps are
already cancellable through the dispose abort signal and non-fatal by
policy, so per-step timeouts there would be a policy change the plan
forbids (recorded in the `appRuntime.ts` startup contract).

## Implementation

- `serviceContainer.ts`: `startupCoreSteps: readonly StartupStep[]`
(names asserted unique in the constructor — they key `stepDurationsMs`);
`initializeCore()` = `assert(not disposed)` +
`runtime.managed.runPromise(startupCoreEffect())`; `timedStartupStep` =
`Effect.suspend` → `tryPromise({ try: async () => run(), catch: identity
})` → `timeoutOrElse` → `Effect.ensuring` (duration recorded when the
*wait* ends — settled, failed, or abandoned — never by the abandoned
step later). `timeoutOrElse` rather than `timeout` + `catchTag` because
the error channel is `unknown`. No `forkDetach`: the zero-arity thunk
gets no AbortSignal, so the step promise keeps running; its late
settlement is a no-op on the exited fiber and `tryPromise` keeps a
rejection handler attached (pinned by test).
- `StartupStepTimeoutError extends Error` with `name` set in the
constructor, so the desktop `Startup Failed` dialog and `Failed to
initialize server:` print class + step without formatting changes.
- `src/constants/terminationTimeouts.ts`: `STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS = 60
s` (evidence below) and `SERVICE_TEARDOWN_BUDGET_MS = 5 s` (the outer
teardown budget `cli/server.ts` already used as a literal, now shared
with the ACP root).
- `cli/server.ts`: `main().catch` runs `dispose()` bounded by the same 5
s budget as the SIGTERM cleanup when the container was constructed, then
exits 1. `acp/serverConnection.ts`: the catch disposes unconditionally
(bounded). `desktop/main.ts` unchanged — the catch at `:1249–1265` quits
and the `before-quit` listener (`:1271–1305`) races `dispose()` against
5 s.
- `appRuntime.ts`: new "Startup" contract section; "Deliberately not
done" no longer lists `initialize()`.
- Decisions pinned by tests: re-entry is **not** guarded (parity with
the promise chain); `initializeCore()` after `dispose()` fails fast with
an assertion instead of the disposed runtime's bare `"ManagedRuntime
disposed"` string defect.

## Validation

- `serviceContainer.test.ts` (+5): TestClock timeout — rejects with
`StartupStepTimeoutError` naming the step **exactly** at
`TestClock.adjust(STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS)` (still pending at −1 ms),
later steps not called, the abandoned step's late rejection is not
unhandled and changes nothing on the container; error identity (`toBe`)
for a rejecting and for a synchronously throwing step with later steps
skipped; happy path records the five keys in order and a second call
re-runs the steps; after `dispose()` fails fast without running a step.
**Red check** against the old promise chain: the timeout test (hangs → 5
s test timeout) and the after-dispose test fail; the
identity/sync/re-run tests are parity pins (green on both, by design).
- Gates: `serviceContainer.test.ts` (23), `di/*.test.ts` +
`coreServicesRoot.test.ts` + `acp/*.test.ts` (55), `TEST_INTEGRATION=1
bun x jest
tests/ipc/{doubleRegister,windowTitle,savedQueries,acp.sessionMethods,acp.disconnectCleanup}`
(32), `bun test src/cli/` (185), `make static-check`.
- Dogfooding (first comment, with screenshots): 3 + 3 `xum server` cold
starts on `main` vs branch — same ten `stepDurationsMs` keys in the same
order, slowest core step `taskService.recoverInterruptedTasks` 49–61 ms;
a throwaway build with the constant forced to 1 ms on `xum server` and
`xum acp` shows `Failed to initialize server: StartupStepTimeoutError:
extensionMetadata.initialize exceeded 1 ms`, the full bounded
`[shutdown]` dispose sequence (28 ms / 36 ms), exit code 1.
- `cli/server.ts` has no unit seam for `main().catch` (`server.test.ts`
exercises `createOrpcServer`); the throwaway transcript is the evidence
for that path.

## Risks

- False timeout on a pathologically slow host turns a slow-but-fine
start into a crash — bounded at 60 s, ≥ 1000× the measured maximum and
above the policy service's own 10 s fetch timeout; the only potentially
unbounded step, `taskService.recoverInterruptedTasks`, scales with
active agent tasks, not deployment size.
- An abandoned step (e.g. mid-`editConfig`) keeps running until the
process exits; the bounded `dispose()` applies the same latches as a
quit (`beginShutdown`s) and config writes are lock/journal protected —
identical exposure to a SIGTERM mid-startup today.
- Disposing the runtime concurrently with an in-flight
`initializeCore()` does not interrupt the startup fiber (root fibers are
not scope children) — same as the promise chain it replaces; documented,
not changed.

OFF-RAMP did not fire: error identity, `tests/ipc` and the ACP path are
preserved.

<summary>📋 Implementation Plan (Wave 4 —
effect-wave4-lifecycle-core-plan.md)</summary>

# Effect migration — Wave 4: finish the concurrency/lifecycle core

Bounded wave: **4 PRs (PR 4 optional), explicit STOP criterion, explicit
OFF-RAMPs.** Plan only; nothing here is implemented.

> **Review status:** Independently reviewed (adversarial Reviewer
sub-agent, advisor unavailable): APPROVE WITH REQUIRED EDITS — both
edits applied; verified claims: Effect.promise 0-arity thunk allocates
no AbortController (internal/effect.js:741–776); closed-scope
forkIn+startImmediately runs onInterrupt (2237–2274, 391–409); forkIn
observer removes the scope finalizer on exit (2270–2271);
Effect.timeoutOrElse exists (Effect.d.ts:7833); 0 line drift at
b87f627; 11 settleWorkspaceTurn callers confirmed; 'aborted' ∈
NON_RETRYABLE_STREAM_ERRORS. Line references are to `main` @
`b87f62729`.

## 0. Thesis check (coordinator's judgment vs. evidence)

**Thesis:** Effect's payoff in this app is structured concurrency +
interruption-safe lifecycles in the orchestration core (still Promise +
AbortController).

**Verdict: holds for the stream engine; only half-holds for turn
handles.**

- Stream engine — **holds.** `ServiceContainer.dispose()` never stops or
awaits in-flight streams (`serviceContainer.ts:478–537` has no
`streamManager` step); an in-flight stream dies with the process and is
recovered on next load from `partial.json` (≤ 500 ms stale,
`PARTIAL_WRITE_THROTTLE_MS`, `streamManager.ts:776`). `AppFiberScope`
exists precisely for this and has no occupant. A supervised per-stream
fiber is the right tool.
- Turn handles — **half-holds.** The 7× "superseded by an uncorrelated
workspace stream-end" false-settle is a *correlation-predicate* bug
(`interruptWorkspaceTurnFromUncorrelatedStreamEnd`,
`workspaceTurnManager.ts:4220–4307`: any uncorrelated stream-end after
the prompt index settles the handle `interrupted`), not a
Promise-vs-fiber structure bug. Turn handles are **persisted records**
(`taskHandleStore.upsertWorkspaceTurn`) spanning **multiple streams**
(tool-call continuations are deferred via `hasSameTurnContinuation`,
`:4491`) and surviving restarts; a fiber/Deferred can only model the
in-process waiter and would not fix correlation. Open PR **coder#3949** fixes
the predicate in Promise idiom and is Codex-green. Wave 4's turn-handle
PR therefore becomes **"codify the settlement invariant + prove the
class is gone"**, not "fiberize handles" (D5 below).

Corrected baseline numbers (measured this workspace): 46/470 `src/node`
non-test files import `effect` (coordinator said 35); 113 direct
`Effect.run*` sites outside `di/` in 16 files; 226 `Effect.gen`; 9
`TaggedError` classes; effect `4.0.0-rc.112`, `@orpc/*` `1.14.11`;
**effect v4 is not GA** (rc line still current).

## 1. Verified current state (evidence the design rests on)

<details>
<summary>Stream engine (streamManager.ts)</summary>

- `startStream` (`:4723–4901`): per-workspace mutex → `new
AbortController()` + `linkAbortSignal` (`:4771–4772`) → `resourceScope =
Scope.makeUnsafe()` (`:4777`) → temp-dir `Effect.acquireRelease`
(`:4802–4824`) → `createStreamAtomically` → `streamText` (`:2244`,
`abortSignal: abortController.signal` `:2250`) → registered in
`workspaceStreams` (`:2463`) → **`streamInfo.processingPromise =
this.processStreamWithCleanup(...)` fire-and-forget (`:4876–4882`)** →
returns `Ok({ messageId, completion })`.
- `processStreamWithCleanup` (`:3331–4089`, plain async): `while(true)`
retry loop; `for await (part of fullStream)` (`:3358–3837`) with abort
check at loop head (`:3361`); post-loop `if (!signal.aborted)` gate
(`:3849`) → completion path (`deletePartial` `:3981`, `updateHistory`
`:3989`, `recordSessionUsage` `:4001`, `state = COMPLETED` `:4017`, emit
`stream-end` `:4023`, `terminalCompletion` `:4024`); error path →
`handleStreamFailure` (`:4094–4112`) → `persistStreamError` writes error
partial; `finally` (`:4052–4088`): release MCP lease,
`Effect.runFork(Scope.close(resourceScope))` (`:4064–4066`), unlink
abort, `workspaceStreams.delete`, `eventSpine.emit("stream.end")`,
`completionController.settle`.
- Cancellation: `stopStream` (`:5043–5111`) → `cancelStreamSafely`
(`:1766–1800`): `if (state === COMPLETED) { await processingPromise;
return }` → `state = STOPPING` → `flushPartialWrite` →
`abortController.abort()` → `cleanupAbortedStream` (`:1828–1951`):
`await processingPromise` → usage → `writePartial` (`:1876–1910`) →
`emitStreamAbort` → `settle({status:"aborted"})`. **No completed-guard
after the await** (verified `:1838–1951`): a cancel landing between
`:3849` and `:4017` re-writes `partial.json` after `deletePartial` and
emits `stream-abort` after `stream-end` (pre-existing window; dispose()
will widen its exposure). `cancelStreamSafely` is also not idempotent
for concurrent callers (only `COMPLETED` is checked).
- AIService on `stream-abort` (`aiService.ts:355–377`): `abandonPartial
? deletePartial : commitPartial → deletePartial` (fire-and-forget
listener).
- Crash recovery: `HistoryService.commitPartial`
(`historyService.ts:1963–2061`) — strips error metadata,
`hasCommitWorthyParts`, stale-epoch check, update-or-append by
`historySequence`, delete partial; invoked from `agentSession.init`
(`:5002`), `aiService.streamMessage` (`:886`), stream-abort (`:364`),
`duplicateWorkspace`.
- `StreamAbortReason = "user" | "startup" | "system"`
(`src/common/orpc/schemas/stream.ts:295`).
- Pinned seams: chaos test `Reflect.set(streamManager, "tokenTracker" |
"createStreamResult")` (`streamManager.chaos.test.ts:130–134, 238–242`);
`streamManager.test.ts` `Reflect.set` on `processStreamWithCleanup`
(`:2787`), `createStreamAtomically` (`:2783`), `createTempDirForStream`,
`cleanupStreamTempDir`, `Reflect.get` on `workspaceStreams`,
`schedulePartialWrite`, …; `modelOnlyNotifications.test.ts` calls
`processStreamWithCleanup` directly (`:93, :187`); `aiService.test.ts`
spies `startStream`, `generateStreamToken`, `createTempDirForStream`,
`isResponseIdLost`. Constructor: `(historyService, sessionUsageService?,
getProvidersConfig?, eventSink = noop, runner = defaultEffectRunner)`
(`:801–813`); `effectRunner` used at `:1152, :1154, :1169` only.
- Every stream event carries `workspaceId` + `messageId`;
`stream-end`/`stream-abort`/`error` carry `metadata.muxMetadata` when
the prompt had it.

<details>
<summary>DI / shutdown / startup</summary>

- `AppFiberScopeLive` is in `CoreLive`'s `runtimeSeams`
(`di/layers/core.ts:644`), so both roots have it; `StreamManagerLive`
(`core.ts:226–238`, stage S2b) already yields `EffectRunnerTag`. CLI
cleanup lists include `appFiberScope.close` (`cli/run.ts:1579`,
`cli/workflow.ts:286`).
- Bounds: `APP_FIBER_SCOPE_CLOSE_TIMEOUT_MS = 2000`,
`APP_RUNTIME_DISPOSE_TIMEOUT_MS = 2000`; outer budgets are **5000 ms**
on both desktop (`desktop/main.ts:1297` `Promise.race` vs
`setTimeout(5000)`) and `xum server` (`cli/server.ts:236–243`
force-exit). **The scope bound cannot grow** without changing outer
budgets.
- rc.112 semantics verified in
`node_modules/effect/dist/internal/effect.js:2264`: `forkIn` registers a
scope finalizer and **removes it when the fiber completes** (no leak),
and **interrupts immediately if the scope is already closed** (streams
starting mid-shutdown fail closed). `Effect.promise(evaluate: (signal)
=> PromiseLike)`, `Effect.onInterrupt`, `Effect.forkIn(_, scope, {
startImmediately? })`, `Stream.toAsyncIterableWith(context)`,
`Stream.provideContext` all exist.
- `ServiceContainer.initialize()` (`serviceContainer.ts:297–362`): six
awaited `initialize()`s wrapped in `recordStep` (durations only, no
catch, no timeout) + three sync `start()`s + two fire-and-forget sweeps.
Failure handling: desktop `Startup Failed` dialog + `app.quit()`
(`desktop/main.ts:1249–1265`); `cli/server.ts:136` uncontained; ACP
`serverConnection.ts:205–216` dispose + rethrow; `tests/ipc/setup.ts:85`
no catch. No outer timeout anywhere.
- `streamBridge.subscriptionIterable` (`orpc/streamBridge.ts:176`) →
`Stream.toAsyncIterable(...)` on the global runtime, 19 call sites in
`routerSubscriptions.ts`; heartbeat via `Effect.sleep` in `forkScoped`
(`:145–152`). `streamBridge.test.ts` has 11 real-time waits, but only
**3 are clock-bound** (`:207` 1 ms initial delay, `:241` heartbeat 10
ms, `:255` 10 ms laziness); 8 are `waitFor(listenerCount…)` readiness
polls that TestClock cannot replace.

<summary>Turn handles + open PRs</summary>

- Handle record `{ handleId "wst_…", ownerWorkspaceId, workspaceId,
turnId, messageId, status, attentionPolicy, disposableWorkspace }`;
prompt carries `muxMetadata: { type:"workspace-turn-task", taskHandleId,
ownerWorkspaceId, turnId }` (`workspaceTurnManager.ts:1420`).
`TaskService` forwards `aiService` `stream-end`/`stream-abort`/`error`
to `finalizeWorkspaceTurnFromStreamEnd` (`:4442–4544`): correlated
branch matches `record.workspaceId && record.turnId` (`:4472`);
**uncorrelated branch** (`metadata == null`, not `agentId ===
"compact"`) → `interruptWorkspaceTurnFromUncorrelatedStreamEnd` →
settles `interrupted` whenever `streamEndIndex >= promptIndex`
(`:4293–4305`). Producers of such uncorrelated ends: bash-monitor wake
continuations, child terminal-attention deliveries, heartbeat, peer
messages, parent auto-resume.
- Cascade: disposable child → `cleanupDisposableWorkspaceTurn` →
`workspaceService.remove(…, true)` kills its background processes;
persistent child → parent sees `interrupted` → `task_stop` →
`backgroundProcessManager.stopMonitor(…, "canceled")`. This is the
observed "monitors died afterwards".
- Settlement chokepoint: `settleWorkspaceTurn(params)` (`:2085`), **11
callers**, guarded by `workspaceTurnSettlementLocks.withLock(handleId)`;
waiters in `pendingWorkspaceTurnWaitersByHandleId` with `setTimeout`
timeouts (`:2425–2496`).
- **coder#3949** "preserve turns across synthetic wake ends" (coadler):
rewrites the uncorrelated branch — walks history from the turn anchor to
the stream-end and settles *only if a manual child input intervened*
(`isManualChildWorkspaceInput`); otherwise ignores the end. Touches
`:281–295, :4217–4355` + tests (+286/−31). Codex: "Didn't find any major
issues" + clean security on `f9baa2fc9`. `mergeable: MERGEABLE`, but
`Test / Unit` and `Codex Comments` red, 19 commits behind main.
- **coder#3915** "correlate workspace-turn liveness" (coadler): creation
reservations +
`getWorkspaceTurnLiveness`/`getWorkspaceTurnRuntimeActivity`
(identity-matches the active stream's `muxMetadata` against the record)
for staleness/capacity. Touches `:442–486, :1298, :2573, :3761,
:3800–4064` (+494/−60). `BLOCKED`, latest Codex review has open
findings, `Test / Unit` red, 19 behind.
- Together they are the identity-correlated model the coordinator wants:
coder#3915 = identity-correlated *liveness*, coder#3949 = identity-gated
*settlement*.

## 2. Design decisions

**D1 — Fibers WRAP the AbortController; they do not replace it.**
The AI SDK is cancelled only via `AbortSignal`; the `for await` loop,
soft-interrupt at step boundaries, retry/fallback re-creation of
`streamResult`, and ~30 abort touchpoints (coder#4032) all key off the
signal. Converting the 750-line loop to `Stream.fromAsyncIterable` +
fiber interruption would touch hundreds of `WorkspaceStreamInfo`
transitions and break the
`processStreamWithCleanup`/`createStreamResult` spy seams. Instead:
**the fiber is the ownership/supervision unit; the signal stays the
cancellation transport.** The dual-cancellation glue coder#4032 feared is
confined to **one** point — the supervisor's `onInterrupt` — which
routes through the existing user-stop path (`cancelStreamSafely`), so
shutdown ≡ "user pressed stop" semantically (partial flushed with usage,
`stream-abort` emitted, `completion` settles `aborted`, AIService
commits the partial).

**D2 — Supervisor topology: one supervisor fiber per stream in
`AppFiberScope`, wrapping the already-started `processingPromise`.**
`streamInfo.processingPromise = this.processStreamWithCleanup(...)`
stays byte-identical (sync-start preserved;
`Reflect.set(processStreamWithCleanup)` seam preserved;
`cleanupAbortedStream`'s `await processingPromise` unchanged).
Immediately after it:

```ts
// startStream, after processingPromise is assigned (unsupervised path unchanged when no scope)
this.superviseEngine(typedWorkspaceId, streamInfo);

private superviseEngine(workspaceId: WorkspaceId, streamInfo: WorkspaceStreamInfo): void {
  if (this.engineScope === undefined) return;               // direct construction / CLI tests: today's behavior
  assert(streamInfo.engineFiber === undefined, "engine already supervised");
  // Zero-arity thunk on purpose: rc.112 allocates an internal AbortController only
  // when `evaluate.length !== 0`; the stream's own controller stays the sole signal.
  const supervisor = Effect.promise(() => streamInfo.processingPromise).pipe(
    Effect.onInterrupt(() =>
      Effect.uninterruptible(   // explicit, per house doctrine (finalizers are already uninterruptible)
        Effect.promise(async () => this.cancelStreamSafely(workspaceId, streamInfo, "system"))
      )
    ),
    Effect.catchDefect((d) => Effect.sync(() => log.warn("[stream] engine supervisor defect", { workspaceId, error: d })))
  );
  streamInfo.engineFiber = this.effectRunner.runSync(
    Effect.forkIn(supervisor, this.engineScope, { startImmediately: true })
  );
}
```
- `Effect.promise` is interruptible while suspended
(`internal/effect.js:741–801`, Async op); `onInterrupt` =
`onErrorFilter(causeFilterInterruptors, …)` (`:1762`); `forkIn`
registers `fiberInterrupt(fiber)` as the scope finalizer (`:2264–2275`),
`fiberInterrupt` awaits the fiber (`:635–642`), and parallel
`scopeClose` awaits all finalizers via `fiberAwaitAll` (`:1590–1601`) →
`closeScopeBounded` at dispose step 2 gives "interrupt **and** await"
while `historyService`/`sessionUsage`/`eventSink → AIService → bridge
servers` are still alive (bridges stop in step 3, so clients receive
`stream-abort`).
- Normal completion: fiber exits → `forkIn`'s observer removes the scope
finalizer (verified) → no per-stream residue.
- Stream started after step 2: `forkIn` on a closed scope calls
`fiber.interruptUnsafe` synchronously and returns the fiber
(`:2272–2274`, `runSync` does not defect). With `startImmediately:
true`, `forkUnsafe` runs `child.evaluate` synchronously (`:2233–2247`)
up to the `Effect.promise` Async op (`:772–801`), so the fiber is
suspended (`_running=false`) when the interrupt lands and
`interruptUnsafe` (`:391–409`) unwinds the stack through the
`onInterrupt` handler → the stream is aborted as `system` (fail-closed
during shutdown). Verified in rc.112 internals (`effect.js:2233–2247,
391–409`); **pin with a test** ("stream started after scope close is
aborted") so an RC bump cannot silently change it.
- `"system"` is semantically exact: `"user"`/`"startup"` suppress
next-startup recovery (`retryEligibility.ts:114–118, 284–287`),
`"system"` marks an involuntary backend interruption (as
`taskService.ts:8100, 8223` use it). **No in-session retry loop is
possible:** the `stream-abort` handler (`agentSession.ts:6010`) routes
`{ type: "aborted" }` to `retryManager.handleStreamFailure`, and
`"aborted"` is in `NON_RETRYABLE_STREAM_ERRORS`
(`retryEligibility.ts:49–59, 106`) → `retryManager.ts:99–104` abandons
immediately, never schedules a fiber. Dogfooding still checks the
*restart* UX (the recovered partial is shown as interrupted; note
whether any next-startup recovery re-sends — same class as today's
`system` aborts from `taskService`).
- `engineScope` arrives as an **optional 6th constructor parameter**
(`engineScope?: Scope.Closeable`), wired from `AppFiberScopeTag` in
`StreamManagerLive` (`core.ts:226`). Default `undefined` keeps every
direct-construction test and `aiService.ts:174` path identical (I4).
`AppFiberScopeLive` already sits beneath S2b in `runtimeSeams`, so no
staging change (I6).
- Abort reason: reuse **`"system"`** — no wire/schema change; UI copy
for `system` already exists.
- Pending-start window (`pendingStreamStarts`, before registration) is
**not** supervised: nothing is persisted for it yet, and `stopStream`
already aborts pending controllers. Documented, not fixed.

**D3 — Fix the two adjacent cancel races in the same PR (closely-related
bugs, not deferrals).**
(a) `cleanupAbortedStream`: after `await processingPromise`, if
`streamInfo.terminalCompletion !== undefined` (completed/failed while
the cancel was in flight) → return without abort bookkeeping (prevents
`partial.json` resurrection after `deletePartial` and a `stream-abort`
after `stream-end`). (b) `cancelStreamSafely` (`:1766`): latch a
per-stream `cancelPromise` so concurrent cancellers (user stop racing
dispose) join one cleanup → exactly one `stream-abort`, one `settle`.
**Zero-suspension requirement:** the latch must be checked and assigned
**synchronously at function entry, before any `await`** (the current
first await is `flushPartialWrite` at `:1789`) — otherwise racing
callers can both enter `cleanupAbortedStream`. Shape:

```ts
if (streamInfo.cancelPromise) return streamInfo.cancelPromise;
streamInfo.cancelPromise = (async () => { /* existing body, unchanged */ })();
return streamInfo.cancelPromise;
```
Both are ≤ 10 LoC and get behavioral tests.

**D4 — Shutdown bound stays 2 s; the finalizer must be fast or
abandoned.**
Outer budgets are 5 s; 2 s + 2 s already consume 4 s. A flowing stream
aborts within one chunk; a wedged provider (no chunks, ignores abort)
hits the existing `boundedTeardown` timeout: warning, continue, process
exit — identical to today's outcome. Dogfooding measures the actual
`[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }` with a live stream.

**D5 — Turn handles: codify the settlement invariant; do not fiberize.**
Invariant: *a workspace-turn handle settles terminally only by (i) a
stream terminal event whose `muxMetadata` correlates `{taskHandleId,
ownerWorkspaceId, turnId}` to the record; (ii) an explicit interrupt
(`task_stop`/`interruptWorkspaceTurn`); (iii) manual supersession — a
manual child input after the turn anchor; (iv) stale-liveness
reconciliation.* An uncorrelated stream-end is **never** terminal by
itself. coder#3949 makes (iii) the only uncorrelated outcome; coder#3915
implements (iv) by identity. Wave 4 adds a `cause` discriminant to
`settleWorkspaceTurn` (the single chokepoint) with a runtime assertion,
plus the regression harness. Rationale for not converting waiters to
`Deferred`/fibers: no behavioral gain, 4.9k-line file, and the
coordinator's "settle only on the owning stream's termination" is
over-specified — a turn owns *several* streams.

**D6 — Startup: `initialize()` stays a Promise facade over a runtime-run
startup effect; timeout ⇒ same failure path as a thrown step.**
Each step is `Effect.tryPromise({ try: async () => step(), catch:
identity }).pipe(Effect.timeoutOrElse({ duration:
STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS, orElse: () => Effect.fail(new
StartupStepTimeoutError(name, ms)) }))` (`timeoutOrElse` exists in
rc.112, `Effect.d.ts:7833`; chosen over `timeout` + `catchTag` because
the step's error channel is `unknown`, which `catchTag` cannot narrow).
No `forkDetach` needed: a Promise step keeps running on its own when the
waiting fiber times out (not inside an uninterruptible region, so the
timeout interrupts the wait directly). `StartupStepTimeoutError extends
Error` with `name = "StartupStepTimeoutError"` set in the constructor
and message `"<step> exceeded <ms> ms"` (so the desktop dialog's error
formatting shows both the class and the step name) → desktop shows it in
the existing `Startup Failed` dialog; CLI/ACP/tests paths unchanged.
Step **errors keep their identity** (v4 `runPromise` rejects with the
raw failure). Downgrading any step to best-effort is a **policy change,
out of scope** (audit of the six implementations:
extensionMetadata/telemetry/experiments are local fs, <50 ms; policy has
its own 10 s fetch timeout; workspaceService bounds its sync internally;
only `taskService.initialize` — config scan + `editConfig` + recovery
`sendMessage`s — is potentially unbounded). The three `start()`s stay
sync (`Effect.sync`), the two fire-and-forget sweeps stay outside the
effect. `stepDurationsMs` is preserved.
**Abandon-and-quit safety:** an abandoned `taskService.initialize` may
be mid-`editConfig` when the root exits. Parity requirement for PR 3:
after a rejected `initialize()`, every root runs the bounded `dispose()`
before exiting. Verified: desktop already does — `services` is assigned
before the await (`main.ts:653–656`), the catch calls `app.quit()`, and
the `before-quit` listener (`:1271–1305`, guard `if (isDisposing ||
!services) return`) races `services.dispose()` against 5 s; ACP does
(`serverConnection.ts:205–216`); **`cli/server.ts` does not**
(`:133–136` awaited at top level, `main().catch` at `:282` only logs) →
PR 3 adds a bounded `dispose()` there (≤ 10 LoC, same 5 s budget).

**D7 — streamBridge: thread the runtime context, not a runner.**
`subscriptionIterable` gains `context?: Context.Context<never>` →
`Stream.toAsyncIterableWith(context)`; `routerSubscriptions` passes the
handler's `"effect/context"`. Production behavior identical; heartbeat
sleeps on the runtime `Clock`; tests can run the 3 clock-bound waits on
`TestClock`. Honest scope: the 8 readiness polls stay.

## 3. PRs (ordered by value ÷ risk; each independently mergeable)

### PR 1 — StreamManager engine core becomes the first `AppFiberScope`

**Value:** high (the only remaining shutdown data-integrity gap; the
reason `AppFiberScope` exists). **Risk:** medium → low with D1/D2. **Net
product LoC ≈ +55** (`superviseEngine` ~25, ctor param/field ~5,
`engineFiber` field ~2, D3 guards ~12, `core.ts` wiring ~2, doc updates

`src/node/services/di/appRuntime.ts` + `appFiberScope.ts` (docs), tests
below.

Pre-work (before writing product code; each yields a note in the PR
body):
1. Confirm `processStreamWithCleanup` never rejects (try/catch/finally
shape `:3331–4089`); else the supervisor must fold rejections (it
already `catchDefect`s).
2. Confirm `Effect.promise` interruption + `onInterrupt` await ordering
under `Scope.close` in a 20-line probe test (pattern of
`appFiberScope.test.ts:27–47`).
3. Enumerate abort observers that run *after* the finalizer resolves
(AIService `stream-abort` listener → `commitPartial`; agentSession
completion continuations) and confirm the durable order (`writePartial`
→ commit → `deletePartial`) makes a mid-flight `process.exit`
recoverable on next load (it is: partial survives until commit
completes).
4. Measure: `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }` with a live stream
in the sandbox (D4).
5. Pin (same probe test): a fiber forked with `startImmediately: true`
into an already-closed scope still runs its `onInterrupt` finalizer
(reviewer-verified in rc.112 internals; the test guards RC bumps).

Acceptance (behavioral tests only):
- `streamManager.test.ts` (new cases; existing cases untouched): with
`engineScope = Scope.makeUnsafe("parallel")` and a fake
`createStreamResult` whose `fullStream` yields one `text-delta` then
blocks until its `AbortSignal` fires — `closeScopeBounded(engineScope)`
resolves; `writePartial` was called with the streamed text; exactly one
`stream-abort` (`abortReason: "system"`) and zero `stream-end`;
`completion` settles `{status:"aborted"}`; `workspaceStreams` is empty.
- Wedged provider (fullStream never yields, ignores abort):
`closeScopeBounded` resolves within the bound, never rejects, warns once
(assert the returned promise resolves and no throw; do **not** assert
log text).
- No-scope construction: identical event sequence to today (guards
existing suites; no new assertions needed beyond the unchanged suites
passing).
- D3(a): cancel issued after the loop exits but before `COMPLETED` →
history has exactly one final message, `partial.json` absent, event
order `stream-end` only.
- D3(b): `stopStream` + `closeScopeBounded` racing on one stream →
exactly one `stream-abort`, one settle.
- Fiber residue: after 50 completed streams,
`closeScopeBounded(engineScope)` emits zero `stream-abort` and completes
in the same tick class as an empty scope (assert no aborts and
`workspaceStreams.size === 0`).
- `streamManager.chaos.test.ts` — existing cases byte-identical; **one
new fuzz variant** constructs with an engine scope and closes it at a
random iteration: every stream settles **exactly once** (count terminal
events per `messageId` ≤ 1, all `completion` promises settle).
- `serviceContainer.test.ts`: "dispose() aborts and awaits an in-flight
stream before `desktopBridgeServer.stop()`" (extend the ordering harness
at `:295–323`); `coreServicesRoot.test.ts`: `xum run` cleanup list does
the same via `appFiberScope.close`.

Gate suites: `streamManager.test.ts`, `streamManager.chaos.test.ts`,
`streamManager.modelOnlyNotifications.test.ts`, `aiService.test.ts`,
`agentSession.disposeRace.test.ts`,
`agentSession.sinceReplayContract.test.ts`, `serviceContainer.test.ts`,
`coreServicesRoot.test.ts`, `di/*.test.ts`, `taskService.test.ts`,
`workspaceService.test.ts`, `turnRequestBuilder.test.ts`; `make
static-check`.

House pre-review audits: interruption posture (supervisor's only
suspension is the promise; finalizer uninterruptible end-to-end incl.
`cancelStreamSafely` → `cleanupAbortedStream`); no defect escapes
(`catchDefect` on the supervisor; `Effect.promise` thunks `async`);
spy-seam check (`processStreamWithCleanup`, `createStreamResult`,
`createStreamAtomically`, `startStream` signatures unchanged;
constructor arity unchanged, trailing optional); sync-start
(`processingPromise` assigned before fork; `runSync(forkIn)` completes
synchronously); no constructor side-effects added; zero-suspension check
on D3(b) latch (`cancelPromise` checked-and-assigned synchronously at
`cancelStreamSafely` entry, before the first `await` at `:1789`; review
the diff for any inserted `await`/lookup ahead of the assignment).

Rollback: revert the `core.ts` wiring line → `engineScope` undefined →
today's behavior; D3 guards can stay (independent bug fixes).

### PR 2 — Turn-settlement invariant + false-settle regression harness
(gated on coder#3949)
**Value:** high (7× production race). **Risk:** low. **Net product LoC ≈
+40** (`WorkspaceTurnSettlementCause` union + `cause` on
`settleWorkspaceTurn` params + assert ~10; 11 call sites × 1–3 lines).

Relationship to open PRs — explicit:
- **coder#3949 is the fix and a hard prerequisite.** PR 2 rebases on it,
changes none of its logic
(`interruptWorkspaceTurnFromUncorrelatedStreamEnd`,
`isWorkspaceTurnAnchorForRecord`, `isManualChildWorkspaceInput`), and
adds the invariant + proof on top. If coder#3949 has not merged when PRs 1/3
are done: **do not fork a competing fix**; report to the coordinator,
offer the regression test file to coder#3949's author as a review artifact,
and hold PR 2 (it is not on any other PR's critical path).
- **coder#3915 is a soft prerequisite.** Its diff (`:3800–4064` incl.
`settleStaleWorkspaceTurn`, a `settleWorkspaceTurn` caller) overlaps PR
2's one-line-per-caller change. Prefer landing after it; if PR 2 must go
first, the conflict is a one-line `cause:` addition per caller. PR 2
never edits liveness/reservation code.
- Wave 4 does not otherwise touch `workspaceTurnManager.ts`.

Design: `type WorkspaceTurnSettlementCause` enumerated from the 11
callers (audited at `main` @ `b87f62729`): `:1373` creation validation
failure; `:1476` pre-stream interrupt during launch; `:1500`/`:1518`
pre-stream send failure; `:3834`/`:3863` stale-liveness recovery /
restart timeout (`settleStaleWorkspaceTurn` — coder#3915's region); `:4301`
**uncorrelated-stream-end manual supersession** (the only uncorrelated
settle in the codebase; the path coder#3949 rewrites); `:4529` correlated
terminal; `:4571` stream-abort; `:4675` deferred stream error; `:4736`
terminal stream error. `settleWorkspaceTurn` asserts `params.cause` is a
member and, for `manual-supersession`, that the superseding input's
`messageId` is supplied — turning D5 into an exhaustive `Record<Cause,
…>` check rather than prose, so a future "settle on uncorrelated end"
cannot be added without naming (and justifying) a cause.

Acceptance:
- New `workspaceTurnManager.uncorrelatedStreamEnd.test.ts` (real
`WorkspaceTurnManager` + `TaskHandleStore` + fake `aiService` emitter,
following the existing suite's harness): (1) create turn → correlated
`stream-start` → **synthetic wake stream** on the same child ends
uncorrelated after the anchor → handle stays `running`, waiter
unresolved, no disposable cleanup, no terminal attention → correlated
`stream-end` → `completed`. (2) same with `finishReason:"tool-calls"`
continuation in between. (3) manual child input between anchor and end →
`interrupted` with `cause: manual-supersession`. (4) explicit
`interruptWorkspaceTurn` → `interrupted`, `cause: explicit-interrupt`.
Case (1) is the **scripted reproduction**: it must **fail on the
pre-coder#3949 merge-base** (run the file from a sibling worktree at `git
merge-base origin/main <coder#3949 head>`; record the failing assertion in
the PR body) and pass after.
- Existing 113 `workspaceTurnManager.test.ts` cases and
`taskService.test.ts` turn cases unchanged.

Gate suites: `workspaceTurnManager.test.ts`, `taskService.test.ts`,
`taskHandleStore.test.ts`, `tools/task*.test.ts`; `make static-check`.

Audits: spy-seam (`getWorkspaceTurn`, `listAllWorkspaceTurns`,
`enqueueTerminalAttention`, `deliverPersistentChildWorkspaceTurnResult`
untouched); settlement lock held across the assert; no new suspension
inside `withLock`.

Rollback: revert; the test file stays valid against coder#3949 alone (drop
the `cause` assertions).

### PR 3 — `ServiceContainer.initialize()` as a runtime-run startup
effect with per-step timeouts
**Value:** medium (a hung `taskService.initialize()` currently pins the
splash screen forever; deterministic TestClock tests of startup).
**Risk:** low–medium. **Net product LoC ≈ +80** (step table ~20,
timed-step helper ~15, `StartupStepTimeoutError` ~8, constant ~3, facade
~10, root dispose-on-failure parity ≤ 10, doc update ~10).

Files: `serviceContainer.ts`, `src/constants/terminationTimeouts.ts`
(keep with the termination constants so the budget doc stays in one
place), `cli/server.ts` (dispose in the startup catch if missing),
`di/appRuntime.ts` doc ("Deliberately not done" → remove the
initialize() line; add startup contract).

Design (D6): `initialize(): Promise<void>` →
`this.runtime.managed.runPromise(this.startupEffect())`. `startupEffect
= Effect.gen` over an ordered `readonly steps: ReadonlyArray<{ name,
run: () => Promise<void> }>` (assert names unique); each step:
`recordStep` timing kept, `Effect.tryPromise({ try: async () => run(),
catch: identity }).pipe(Effect.timeoutOrElse({ duration:
STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS, orElse: () => Effect.fail(new
StartupStepTimeoutError(name, STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS)) }))`. Then
`Effect.sync` for the three `start()`s; the sweeps remain after
`runPromise`. Constant `STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS` — pre-work measures
`[startup] <step> { ms }` across sandbox cold starts and picks ≥ 10× the
slowest observed (propose 60 s; must be generous — a false timeout turns
a slow-but-fine start into a crash). Roots dispose after a rejected
`initialize()` (D6 abandon-and-quit safety).

Acceptance (all in `serviceContainer.test.ts`, TestClock via the
existing `AppLive` spy at `:355–395`):
- A step that never resolves → `initialize()` rejects with
`StartupStepTimeoutError` naming the step after exactly
`TestClock.adjust(STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS)`; later steps did not run.
- A rejecting step → `initialize()` rejects with **the same error
object** (identity), later steps did not run (parity with today).
- Happy path → `stepDurationsMs` has all six keys; `start()`s called
once each; second `initialize()` call behavior unchanged from today
(verify whether re-entry is guarded today; preserve).
- `tests/ipc` harness and ACP entry still pass unchanged.

Gate suites: `serviceContainer.test.ts`, `coreServicesRoot.test.ts`,
`di/*.test.ts`, `src/node/acp/*.test.ts`, `TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest
tests/ipc` (smoke subset); `make static-check`.

Audits: I1 untouched (no layer body changes); I2 (only the composition
root touches the runtime); error identity preserved (no wrapping);
abandoned-step safety — every root runs bounded `dispose()` after a
rejected `initialize()` (D6; `cli/server.ts` gains it in this PR); no
sweep moved into the effect; the six-step order and `[startup] <step>`
names unchanged.

Rollback: revert; constant removal.

### PR 4 (optional — cut if budget is exhausted) — `streamBridge` on the
runtime context
**Value:** low (closes the last documented "global runtime" exception;
enables TestClock for the heartbeat). **Risk:** low. **Net product LoC ≈
+30** (`context?` option + `toAsyncIterableWith` ~8; 19 call sites × 1
line via one shared helper in `routerSubscriptions.ts` ~3).

Acceptance: the 3 clock-bound waits (`:207, :241, :255`) run on
`TestClock`; the heartbeat test asserts N heartbeats after
`TestClock.adjust(N × interval)` with zero real time; existing
behavioral assertions unchanged; `tests/ipc` subscription tests pass. Do
not rewrite the 8 readiness polls.

Gate suites: `streamBridge.test.ts`, `routerSubscriptions*.test.ts`,
`orpc/*.test.ts`, `TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest tests/ipc`
(subscription subset); `make static-check`.

Audits: `Stream.toAsyncIterableWith` preserves double-close safety (pin
with the existing test); `Cause.Done` typing unchanged; no
`Scope`/`MemoMap`/`Scheduler` captured (pass the oRPC `effect/context`,
which the DI layer already strips per `EffectRunnerLive`); `context`
stays optional so direct callers/tests without a runtime keep today's
global-runtime path.

Rollback: revert; the optional `context` default (`Context.empty()`) is
exactly today's `toAsyncIterable`, so a partial revert of call sites is
also safe.

### Execution order and size
Net product LoC for the wave ≈ **+205** (PR 1 ≈ +55, PR 2 ≈ +40, PR 3 ≈
+80, PR 4 ≈ +30); tests ≈ +600–800. PR 1 starts immediately. PR 2 starts
the moment coder#3949 merges (parallel with PR 1/3 — disjoint files). PR 3
after PR 1 merges (both touch `appRuntime.ts` docs; PR 3 also touches
`serviceContainer.ts`). PR 4 last, only if PRs 1–3 landed and no
OFF-RAMP fired. Each PR: Codex dual review, `Codex Comments`
minimization, merge queue; commit WIP early (`/tmp` wipes).

## 4. STOP criterion (measurable) and OFF-RAMPs

Wave 4 is **done** — and the Effect migration line **stops** without a
new RFC — when all hold:
1. **dispose() awaits in-flight streams:** `serviceContainer.test.ts`
ordering test + `coreServicesRoot.test.ts` pass on main; a sandbox
`script -f` transcript of `xum server` receiving SIGTERM mid-stream
shows `stream-abort` → `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }` →
`[shutdown] desktopBridgeServer.stop`, and immediately after exit
`partial.json` is absent while `chat.jsonl` contains the interrupted
assistant message (baseline on `main`: `partial.json` present, message
absent until next load). `{ ms }` < 2000 in the flowing-stream case.
2. **False-settle class eliminated:** the scripted reproduction fails on
the pre-coder#3949 merge-base and passes on main after PR 2;
`settleWorkspaceTurn` rejects any settlement without an enumerated
cause; the coordinator's own Mux sessions show zero "superseded by an
uncorrelated workspace stream-end" in the two weeks after PR 2 (soft
signal, logged in the wave summary).
3. **Startup:** timeout and error-identity tests pass under TestClock;
`[startup]` per-step lines unchanged in the sandbox transcript; a
throwaway build with the constant set to 1 ms shows `Startup failed:
StartupStepTimeoutError: <step> exceeded 1 ms` and a clean exit.
4. **No new lifecycle flakes:** 0 failures attributable to the touched
suites across **N = 20** consecutive *completed* `Test / Unit` runs on
`main` after the last Wave 4 merge — query `gh run list --workflow
pr.yml --branch main --limit 60 --json
databaseId,status,conclusion,event,headSha` (note: `gh run list --json`
serializes these fields in **lowercase**, e.g.
`{"status":"completed","conclusion":"success"}`, unlike
`statusCheckRollup`), keep `status === "completed"` (pending runs have
an empty `conclusion`, not null), take the newest 20, and for any run
with `conclusion !== "success"` (case-insensitive normalization
acceptable) inspect the failing job's log for the touched suite names
(job `timeout`/`cancelled` from the 15-min budget is not a flake); plus
green merge-queue runs for each PR. Any attributable flake → fix or
revert before declaring done.

**OFF-RAMP (PR 1):** fires if pre-work 1–3 shows (a) routing shutdown
through `cancelStreamSafely` cannot preserve crash-recovery semantics
without changing `cleanupAbortedStream`'s contract beyond D3, (b) the
chaos variant exposes a double-settle not closable by D3(b), or (c) the
finalizer cannot fit the 2 s bound for flowing streams. Then: stop PR 1,
keep `AppFiberScope` unoccupied, update `appRuntime.ts` "Deliberately
not done" with the concrete blocker and the measured evidence, land D3
alone as a bug-fix PR. PRs 2–4 are independent and proceed.
**OFF-RAMP (PR 3):** if error identity or the `tests/ipc`/ACP paths
cannot be preserved, keep `initialize()` as is and record why.
**OFF-RAMP (PR 2):** coder#3949 not merged → hold (see PR 2).

## 5. Risk register

| Risk | Likelihood | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Crash-recovery regression: double commit / partial resurrection when
shutdown-abort races completion | medium (window widens with dispose())
| D3(a) guard + test; `commitPartial`'s `historySequence`
update-or-append is idempotent (`historyService.ts:2036–2041`) |
| Provider abort emits an `error` chunk → error path instead of abort
path | low | identical to today's user-stop path (parity); chaos variant
covers hostile streams |
| Wedged provider pins the 2 s bound → warning every shutdown | low |
`boundedTeardown` already bounds; transcript measures; no budget change
possible (5 s outer) |
| AIService `stream-abort` listener (`commitPartial`) still in flight
when `process.exit` runs | low | durable order writePartial → commit →
deletePartial; next-load recovery; PR 1 transcript checks `partial.json`
is already gone when `cli/server.ts` logs its final cleanup line before
`process.exit(0)` (`:252–266`) |
| Chaos-test seams (`createStreamResult`, `tokenTracker`) | none if
scope-less construction stays default | new variant added, old cases
untouched |
| Collision with coder#3915/coder#3949 | medium | PR 2 gated; no edits to their
regions; one-line `cause:` conflicts only |
| RC churn (rc.113+ renames
`forkIn`/`onInterrupt`/`toAsyncIterableWith`) | low | all Effect imports
already in `streamManager.ts`/`streamBridge.ts`; pins fixed; GA upgrade
is a separate lockstep PR (§6) |
| Startup false timeout on slow hosts | medium if constant too small |
measure first; ≥ 10× slowest observed; generous default (60 s) |
| Sync-start assumptions in tests that
`Reflect.set(processStreamWithCleanup)` | low | promise assigned before
fork; forkIn `runSync` synchronous |
| `shutdown()` (desktop second `before-quit` listener) still does not
await streams | accepted | contract says `shutdown()` never touches the
runtime; desktop's dispose race is the covered path |
| Streams starting during shutdown | covered | `forkIn` on closed scope
interrupts immediately → `system` abort (`startImmediately` semantics
verified in rc.112; pinned by test) |
| `system` abort triggers an in-session RetryManager retry during
shutdown | **unreachable** (verified) | `"aborted"` ∈
`NON_RETRYABLE_STREAM_ERRORS` → `retryManager.ts:99–104` abandons; no
fiber scheduled |
| PR 3: abandoned `taskService.initialize` mid-`editConfig` when the
root exits after a timeout | low | desktop/ACP already dispose on
startup failure; PR 3 adds the missing `cli/server.ts` dispose; config
writes are lock/journal-protected |
| `startImmediately`/`onInterrupt` semantics differ in a later RC | low
| pinned by the probe test in `appFiberScope.test.ts` style; RC bumps
are a separate lockstep PR |

## 6. Standing item — effect v4 GA + `@orpc/experimental-effect`
lockstep (analysis only)

v4 is **not GA** (rc.112 is current; v3 `3.x` remains the stable line).
No PR this wave. When GA ships: one lockstep PR bumping `effect` + all
`@orpc/*` (`1.14.11` today; check the GA-compatible
`@orpc/experimental-effect`), canary gates = `di/*.test.ts`,
`streamBridge.test.ts`, `streamManager.test.ts`,
`serviceContainer.test.ts`, `TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest tests/ipc`,
`make static-check`. The `Context → ServiceMap` rename risk is
firewalled: `Context.Service` tags, `Context.omit/get`, `Layer`,
`ManagedRuntime`, `TestClock` live only under `di/` +
`orpc/effectContext.ts`; `streamManager.ts`/`streamBridge.ts` use
`Effect`/`Scope`/`Fiber`/`Exit`/`Stream`/`Queue`/`Cause` only. PR 4 adds
one `Context.Context<never>` type reference to `streamBridge.ts` — keep
it as a type-only import so a rename is a one-line fix.

## 7. Dogfooding (per PR; evidence attached to the PR with `gh …
--attach`)

Common setup: `make dev-server-sandbox
DEV_SERVER_SANDBOX_ARGS="--clean-projects"` (or `xum server` on a temp
`XUM_ROOT`) with `XUM_LOG_LEVEL=debug`, run under `script -f
~/wave4-scratch/<pr>-<scenario>.log`; scratch under
`$HOME/wave4-scratch/` (never `/tmp`). Drive the UI with `agent-browser`
(`open` → `snapshot -i` → click the explicit "Send message" ref;
re-snapshot after typing). Screenshots are primary evidence; record WebM
and finalize with `ffmpeg -c copy`.

- **PR 1:** (1) start a long stream (prompt that streams ~30 s), wait
3–5 s, `kill -TERM <server pid>`; transcript must show the order in STOP
coder#1 and `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }`; (2) `ls
<XUM_ROOT>/sessions/<ws>/partial.json` (absent) + `tail -n 1 chat.jsonl`
(interrupted assistant message); (3) restart, open the workspace in
agent-browser, screenshot the persisted interrupted message; (4) same
scenario on `main` for the baseline diff; (5) `xum run` Ctrl-C
mid-stream transcript (CLI root parity); (6) quality gate between
phases: gate suites green before the sandbox run, sandbox evidence
before requesting review.
- **PR 2:** primary evidence is the regression file run on both the
merge-base worktree (failing output) and the branch (passing).
Secondary: sandbox parent workspace delegates via `task` kind=workspace
to a child that arms a background bash monitor firing within ~10 s and
keeps working ~60 s; screenshot the parent's task result (baseline
`main`: `interrupted … uncorrelated workspace stream-end`; after:
`completed`) and the child's log lines.
- **PR 3:** `xum server` cold start transcript with `[startup] <step> {
ms }` for the six steps (parity); throwaway worktree build with
`STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS = 1` → transcript of `Startup failed:
StartupStepTimeoutError …` and exit code (do not ship); desktop dialog
cannot be shown headless — cite the unchanged
`desktop/main.ts:1249–1265` catch.
- **PR 4:** agent-browser session left idle 60 s with the connection
indicator visible (heartbeats keep it green) + screenshot;
`streamBridge.test.ts` on TestClock.

## 8. Non-goals (restated; out of this wave)

Typed-error propagation sweep / removing the ~113 facades; converting
services to `yield*`-based Effect services; PubSub for the internal
EventEmitter bus; Schema at persistence boundaries; Effect
observability; converting sync read paths, AI-SDK per-request callbacks,
cross-process lock interiors, or deterministic try-lock funnels;
replacing `AbortController` as the SDK cancellation transport;
converting the `fullStream` loop to `Stream`; fiberizing turn-handle
waiters; downgrading startup steps to best-effort; changing outer quit
budgets; supervising the pre-registration stream-start window;
`shutdown()` semantics; the effect GA bump (standing analysis only).

… PR 4) (coder#4085)

## Summary

Wave 4 PR 4 (D7): subscription streams now inherit the app runtime's
context, so their heartbeat sleeps use its Clock. **+30 net production
lines**, no payload, queue, ordering, or completion changes. Direct
callers without a context retain `Stream.toAsyncIterable` exactly.

## Implementation and audits

- Optional, type-only `Context.Context<never>` in `streamBridge.ts`; the
provided-context branch uses rc.112 `Stream.toAsyncIterableWith`.
- All **19** subscription handlers use one forwarding helper.
`subscribeLogs` lacked a context argument, so its router entry now
forwards it too.
- The baseline `runtime.context` was **not clean**: it captured
`Layer.CurrentMemoMap` and the eager build's scheduler (not Scope). A
five-line `Context.omit` projection removes all three before export. Its
narrow type assertion preserves the DI contract that these artifacts are
not declared app services; no layer bodies changed.
`managed.cachedContext` is not an alternative: it still contains
CurrentMemoMap.
- `Cause.Done`, synchronous `Queue.offerUnsafe`, listener ownership, and
abort/finally close logic are unchanged. Existing readiness polls
remain. IPC and ACP both obtain the context through
`ServiceContainer.toORPCContext()`.
- No OFF-RAMP. No changes to streamManager, workspaceTurnManager, or
serviceContainer startup.

## Validation

- `bun test src/node/orpc src/node/services/di
src/node/services/serviceContainer.test.ts`: **136 pass, 3 existing
skips**.
- TestClock replaces the three clock-bound waits. Heartbeat baseline
**23 ms** (two real 10 ms intervals); after **2 ms** (three virtual 1 s
intervals), with a <50 ms wall-clock assertion. Teardown runs with and
without context; abort during pull plus repeated return detaches exactly
once.
- Red checks: context-artifact test fails before projection; heartbeat
test receives zero ticks when the context adapter is disabled.
- New handler-level TestClock regression pins oRPC context forwarding.
- `make static-check`: green (including both typechecks).
- Focused IPC subscriptions: **5 pass** (history replay, terminal
output, exit, attach snapshot and live ordering). Command:
`TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest
tests/ipc/streaming/websocketHistoryReplay.test.ts
tests/ipc/terminal/terminal.test.ts --runInBand -t 'getHistory|send
command|exit event|^terminal PTY attach should'`.
- Broader IPC run: **7 pass, 1 fail**. The extra terminal reattach test
sees an empty serialized screen; reproduced identically with all four
production files restored to unchanged base `c470d61e9`. Building the
initially missing worker artifacts and changing TERM did not fix it.
Recorded separately, not patched or silently counted as passing.
- Sandbox: connected API context before/after **65.096 s idle**,
successful smoke reply, no reconnect/disconnect toast; **72.2 s**
verified recording. Screenshots/video attached in the evidence comment.
The app intentionally renders no healthy connection badge, so positive
state is recorded alongside screenshots rather than claiming a green
indicator. A listener-threshold warning appeared around the recorder’s
extra-page setup; no leak was demonstrated. No heartbeat debug lines
exist, and none were added.

## Risk / plan deviations

Low: context binding only; explicit fallback keeps partial rollback
safe. The plan's clean-context and every-handler-already-has-context
assumptions were false, requiring the small projection and logs
forwarding. PR 2 remains independently gated; this file-disjoint
optional PR proceeds under the task's explicit instruction.

<summary>📋 Implementation Plan</summary>

# Effect migration — Wave 4: finish the concurrency/lifecycle core

Bounded wave: **4 PRs (PR 4 optional), explicit STOP criterion, explicit
OFF-RAMPs.** Plan only; nothing here is implemented.

> **Review status:** Independently reviewed (adversarial Reviewer
sub-agent, advisor unavailable): APPROVE WITH REQUIRED EDITS — both
edits applied; verified claims: Effect.promise 0-arity thunk allocates
no AbortController (internal/effect.js:741–776); closed-scope
forkIn+startImmediately runs onInterrupt (2237–2274, 391–409); forkIn
observer removes the scope finalizer on exit (2270–2271);
Effect.timeoutOrElse exists (Effect.d.ts:7833); 0 line drift at
b87f627; 11 settleWorkspaceTurn callers confirmed; 'aborted' ∈
NON_RETRYABLE_STREAM_ERRORS. Line references are to `main` @
`b87f62729`.

## 0. Thesis check (coordinator's judgment vs. evidence)

**Thesis:** Effect's payoff in this app is structured concurrency +
interruption-safe lifecycles in the orchestration core (still Promise +
AbortController).

**Verdict: holds for the stream engine; only half-holds for turn
handles.**

- Stream engine — **holds.** `ServiceContainer.dispose()` never stops or
awaits in-flight streams (`serviceContainer.ts:478–537` has no
`streamManager` step); an in-flight stream dies with the process and is
recovered on next load from `partial.json` (≤ 500 ms stale,
`PARTIAL_WRITE_THROTTLE_MS`, `streamManager.ts:776`). `AppFiberScope`
exists precisely for this and has no occupant. A supervised per-stream
fiber is the right tool.
- Turn handles — **half-holds.** The 7× "superseded by an uncorrelated
workspace stream-end" false-settle is a *correlation-predicate* bug
(`interruptWorkspaceTurnFromUncorrelatedStreamEnd`,
`workspaceTurnManager.ts:4220–4307`: any uncorrelated stream-end after
the prompt index settles the handle `interrupted`), not a
Promise-vs-fiber structure bug. Turn handles are **persisted records**
(`taskHandleStore.upsertWorkspaceTurn`) spanning **multiple streams**
(tool-call continuations are deferred via `hasSameTurnContinuation`,
`:4491`) and surviving restarts; a fiber/Deferred can only model the
in-process waiter and would not fix correlation. Open PR **coder#3949** fixes
the predicate in Promise idiom and is Codex-green. Wave 4's turn-handle
PR therefore becomes **"codify the settlement invariant + prove the
class is gone"**, not "fiberize handles" (D5 below).

Corrected baseline numbers (measured this workspace): 46/470 `src/node`
non-test files import `effect` (coordinator said 35); 113 direct
`Effect.run*` sites outside `di/` in 16 files; 226 `Effect.gen`; 9
`TaggedError` classes; effect `4.0.0-rc.112`, `@orpc/*` `1.14.11`;
**effect v4 is not GA** (rc line still current).

<summary>Stream engine (streamManager.ts)</summary>

- `startStream` (`:4723–4901`): per-workspace mutex → `new
AbortController()` + `linkAbortSignal` (`:4771–4772`) → `resourceScope =
Scope.makeUnsafe()` (`:4777`) → temp-dir `Effect.acquireRelease`
(`:4802–4824`) → `createStreamAtomically` → `streamText` (`:2244`,
`abortSignal: abortController.signal` `:2250`) → registered in
`workspaceStreams` (`:2463`) → **`streamInfo.processingPromise =
this.processStreamWithCleanup(...)` fire-and-forget (`:4876–4882`)** →
returns `Ok({ messageId, completion })`.
- `processStreamWithCleanup` (`:3331–4089`, plain async): `while(true)`
retry loop; `for await (part of fullStream)` (`:3358–3837`) with abort
check at loop head (`:3361`); post-loop `if (!signal.aborted)` gate
(`:3849`) → completion path (`deletePartial` `:3981`, `updateHistory`
`:3989`, `recordSessionUsage` `:4001`, `state = COMPLETED` `:4017`, emit
`stream-end` `:4023`, `terminalCompletion` `:4024`); error path →
`handleStreamFailure` (`:4094–4112`) → `persistStreamError` writes error
partial; `finally` (`:4052–4088`): release MCP lease,
`Effect.runFork(Scope.close(resourceScope))` (`:4064–4066`), unlink
abort, `workspaceStreams.delete`, `eventSpine.emit("stream.end")`,
`completionController.settle`.
- Cancellation: `stopStream` (`:5043–5111`) → `cancelStreamSafely`
(`:1766–1800`): `if (state === COMPLETED) { await processingPromise;
return }` → `state = STOPPING` → `flushPartialWrite` →
`abortController.abort()` → `cleanupAbortedStream` (`:1828–1951`):
`await processingPromise` → usage → `writePartial` (`:1876–1910`) →
`emitStreamAbort` → `settle({status:"aborted"})`. **No completed-guard
after the await** (verified `:1838–1951`): a cancel landing between
`:3849` and `:4017` re-writes `partial.json` after `deletePartial` and
emits `stream-abort` after `stream-end` (pre-existing window; dispose()
will widen its exposure). `cancelStreamSafely` is also not idempotent
for concurrent callers (only `COMPLETED` is checked).
- AIService on `stream-abort` (`aiService.ts:355–377`): `abandonPartial
? deletePartial : commitPartial → deletePartial` (fire-and-forget
listener).
- Crash recovery: `HistoryService.commitPartial`
(`historyService.ts:1963–2061`) — strips error metadata,
`hasCommitWorthyParts`, stale-epoch check, update-or-append by
`historySequence`, delete partial; invoked from `agentSession.init`
(`:5002`), `aiService.streamMessage` (`:886`), stream-abort (`:364`),
`duplicateWorkspace`.
- `StreamAbortReason = "user" | "startup" | "system"`
(`src/common/orpc/schemas/stream.ts:295`).
- Pinned seams: chaos test `Reflect.set(streamManager, "tokenTracker" |
"createStreamResult")` (`streamManager.chaos.test.ts:130–134, 238–242`);
`streamManager.test.ts` `Reflect.set` on `processStreamWithCleanup`
(`:2787`), `createStreamAtomically` (`:2783`), `createTempDirForStream`,
`cleanupStreamTempDir`, `Reflect.get` on `workspaceStreams`,
`schedulePartialWrite`, …; `modelOnlyNotifications.test.ts` calls
`processStreamWithCleanup` directly (`:93, :187`); `aiService.test.ts`
spies `startStream`, `generateStreamToken`, `createTempDirForStream`,
`isResponseIdLost`. Constructor: `(historyService, sessionUsageService?,
getProvidersConfig?, eventSink = noop, runner = defaultEffectRunner)`
(`:801–813`); `effectRunner` used at `:1152, :1154, :1169` only.
- Every stream event carries `workspaceId` + `messageId`;
`stream-end`/`stream-abort`/`error` carry `metadata.muxMetadata` when
the prompt had it.

<summary>DI / shutdown / startup</summary>

- `AppFiberScopeLive` is in `CoreLive`'s `runtimeSeams`
(`di/layers/core.ts:644`), so both roots have it; `StreamManagerLive`
(`core.ts:226–238`, stage S2b) already yields `EffectRunnerTag`. CLI
cleanup lists include `appFiberScope.close` (`cli/run.ts:1579`,
`cli/workflow.ts:286`).
- Bounds: `APP_FIBER_SCOPE_CLOSE_TIMEOUT_MS = 2000`,
`APP_RUNTIME_DISPOSE_TIMEOUT_MS = 2000`; outer budgets are **5000 ms**
on both desktop (`desktop/main.ts:1297` `Promise.race` vs
`setTimeout(5000)`) and `xum server` (`cli/server.ts:236–243`
force-exit). **The scope bound cannot grow** without changing outer
budgets.
- rc.112 semantics verified in
`node_modules/effect/dist/internal/effect.js:2264`: `forkIn` registers a
scope finalizer and **removes it when the fiber completes** (no leak),
and **interrupts immediately if the scope is already closed** (streams
starting mid-shutdown fail closed). `Effect.promise(evaluate: (signal)
=> PromiseLike)`, `Effect.onInterrupt`, `Effect.forkIn(_, scope, {
startImmediately? })`, `Stream.toAsyncIterableWith(context)`,
`Stream.provideContext` all exist.
- `ServiceContainer.initialize()` (`serviceContainer.ts:297–362`): six
awaited `initialize()`s wrapped in `recordStep` (durations only, no
catch, no timeout) + three sync `start()`s + two fire-and-forget sweeps.
Failure handling: desktop `Startup Failed` dialog + `app.quit()`
(`desktop/main.ts:1249–1265`); `cli/server.ts:136` uncontained; ACP
`serverConnection.ts:205–216` dispose + rethrow; `tests/ipc/setup.ts:85`
no catch. No outer timeout anywhere.
- `streamBridge.subscriptionIterable` (`orpc/streamBridge.ts:176`) →
`Stream.toAsyncIterable(...)` on the global runtime, 19 call sites in
`routerSubscriptions.ts`; heartbeat via `Effect.sleep` in `forkScoped`
(`:145–152`). `streamBridge.test.ts` has 11 real-time waits, but only
**3 are clock-bound** (`:207` 1 ms initial delay, `:241` heartbeat 10
ms, `:255` 10 ms laziness); 8 are `waitFor(listenerCount…)` readiness
polls that TestClock cannot replace.

<summary>Turn handles + open PRs</summary>

- Handle record `{ handleId "wst_…", ownerWorkspaceId, workspaceId,
turnId, messageId, status, attentionPolicy, disposableWorkspace }`;
prompt carries `muxMetadata: { type:"workspace-turn-task", taskHandleId,
ownerWorkspaceId, turnId }` (`workspaceTurnManager.ts:1420`).
`TaskService` forwards `aiService` `stream-end`/`stream-abort`/`error`
to `finalizeWorkspaceTurnFromStreamEnd` (`:4442–4544`): correlated
branch matches `record.workspaceId && record.turnId` (`:4472`);
**uncorrelated branch** (`metadata == null`, not `agentId ===
"compact"`) → `interruptWorkspaceTurnFromUncorrelatedStreamEnd` →
settles `interrupted` whenever `streamEndIndex >= promptIndex`
(`:4293–4305`). Producers of such uncorrelated ends: bash-monitor wake
continuations, child terminal-attention deliveries, heartbeat, peer
messages, parent auto-resume.
- Cascade: disposable child → `cleanupDisposableWorkspaceTurn` →
`workspaceService.remove(…, true)` kills its background processes;
persistent child → parent sees `interrupted` → `task_stop` →
`backgroundProcessManager.stopMonitor(…, "canceled")`. This is the
observed "monitors died afterwards".
- Settlement chokepoint: `settleWorkspaceTurn(params)` (`:2085`), **11
callers**, guarded by `workspaceTurnSettlementLocks.withLock(handleId)`;
waiters in `pendingWorkspaceTurnWaitersByHandleId` with `setTimeout`
timeouts (`:2425–2496`).
- **coder#3949** "preserve turns across synthetic wake ends" (coadler):
rewrites the uncorrelated branch — walks history from the turn anchor to
the stream-end and settles *only if a manual child input intervened*
(`isManualChildWorkspaceInput`); otherwise ignores the end. Touches
`:281–295, :4217–4355` + tests (+286/−31). Codex: "Didn't find any major
issues" + clean security on `f9baa2fc9`. `mergeable: MERGEABLE`, but
`Test / Unit` and `Codex Comments` red, 19 commits behind main.
- **coder#3915** "correlate workspace-turn liveness" (coadler): creation
reservations +
`getWorkspaceTurnLiveness`/`getWorkspaceTurnRuntimeActivity`
(identity-matches the active stream's `muxMetadata` against the record)
for staleness/capacity. Touches `:442–486, :1298, :2573, :3761,
:3800–4064` (+494/−60). `BLOCKED`, latest Codex review has open
findings, `Test / Unit` red, 19 behind.
- Together they are the identity-correlated model the coordinator wants:
coder#3915 = identity-correlated *liveness*, coder#3949 = identity-gated
*settlement*.

## 2. Design decisions

**D1 — Fibers WRAP the AbortController; they do not replace it.**
The AI SDK is cancelled only via `AbortSignal`; the `for await` loop,
soft-interrupt at step boundaries, retry/fallback re-creation of
`streamResult`, and ~30 abort touchpoints (coder#4032) all key off the
signal. Converting the 750-line loop to `Stream.fromAsyncIterable` +
fiber interruption would touch hundreds of `WorkspaceStreamInfo`
transitions and break the
`processStreamWithCleanup`/`createStreamResult` spy seams. Instead:
**the fiber is the ownership/supervision unit; the signal stays the
cancellation transport.** The dual-cancellation glue coder#4032 feared is
confined to **one** point — the supervisor's `onInterrupt` — which
routes through the existing user-stop path (`cancelStreamSafely`), so
shutdown ≡ "user pressed stop" semantically (partial flushed with usage,
`stream-abort` emitted, `completion` settles `aborted`, AIService
commits the partial).

**D2 — Supervisor topology: one supervisor fiber per stream in
`AppFiberScope`, wrapping the already-started `processingPromise`.**
`streamInfo.processingPromise = this.processStreamWithCleanup(...)`
stays byte-identical (sync-start preserved;
`Reflect.set(processStreamWithCleanup)` seam preserved;
`cleanupAbortedStream`'s `await processingPromise` unchanged).
Immediately after it:

```ts
// startStream, after processingPromise is assigned (unsupervised path unchanged when no scope)
this.superviseEngine(typedWorkspaceId, streamInfo);

private superviseEngine(workspaceId: WorkspaceId, streamInfo: WorkspaceStreamInfo): void {
  if (this.engineScope === undefined) return;               // direct construction / CLI tests: today's behavior
  assert(streamInfo.engineFiber === undefined, "engine already supervised");
  // Zero-arity thunk on purpose: rc.112 allocates an internal AbortController only
  // when `evaluate.length !== 0`; the stream's own controller stays the sole signal.
  const supervisor = Effect.promise(() => streamInfo.processingPromise).pipe(
    Effect.onInterrupt(() =>
      Effect.uninterruptible(   // explicit, per house doctrine (finalizers are already uninterruptible)
        Effect.promise(async () => this.cancelStreamSafely(workspaceId, streamInfo, "system"))
      )
    ),
    Effect.catchDefect((d) => Effect.sync(() => log.warn("[stream] engine supervisor defect", { workspaceId, error: d })))
  );
  streamInfo.engineFiber = this.effectRunner.runSync(
    Effect.forkIn(supervisor, this.engineScope, { startImmediately: true })
  );
}
```
- `Effect.promise` is interruptible while suspended
(`internal/effect.js:741–801`, Async op); `onInterrupt` =
`onErrorFilter(causeFilterInterruptors, …)` (`:1762`); `forkIn`
registers `fiberInterrupt(fiber)` as the scope finalizer (`:2264–2275`),
`fiberInterrupt` awaits the fiber (`:635–642`), and parallel
`scopeClose` awaits all finalizers via `fiberAwaitAll` (`:1590–1601`) →
`closeScopeBounded` at dispose step 2 gives "interrupt **and** await"
while `historyService`/`sessionUsage`/`eventSink → AIService → bridge
servers` are still alive (bridges stop in step 3, so clients receive
`stream-abort`).
- Normal completion: fiber exits → `forkIn`'s observer removes the scope
finalizer (verified) → no per-stream residue.
- Stream started after step 2: `forkIn` on a closed scope calls
`fiber.interruptUnsafe` synchronously and returns the fiber
(`:2272–2274`, `runSync` does not defect). With `startImmediately:
true`, `forkUnsafe` runs `child.evaluate` synchronously (`:2233–2247`)
up to the `Effect.promise` Async op (`:772–801`), so the fiber is
suspended (`_running=false`) when the interrupt lands and
`interruptUnsafe` (`:391–409`) unwinds the stack through the
`onInterrupt` handler → the stream is aborted as `system` (fail-closed
during shutdown). Verified in rc.112 internals (`effect.js:2233–2247,
391–409`); **pin with a test** ("stream started after scope close is
aborted") so an RC bump cannot silently change it.
- `"system"` is semantically exact: `"user"`/`"startup"` suppress
next-startup recovery (`retryEligibility.ts:114–118, 284–287`),
`"system"` marks an involuntary backend interruption (as
`taskService.ts:8100, 8223` use it). **No in-session retry loop is
possible:** the `stream-abort` handler (`agentSession.ts:6010`) routes
`{ type: "aborted" }` to `retryManager.handleStreamFailure`, and
`"aborted"` is in `NON_RETRYABLE_STREAM_ERRORS`
(`retryEligibility.ts:49–59, 106`) → `retryManager.ts:99–104` abandons
immediately, never schedules a fiber. Dogfooding still checks the
*restart* UX (the recovered partial is shown as interrupted; note
whether any next-startup recovery re-sends — same class as today's
`system` aborts from `taskService`).
- `engineScope` arrives as an **optional 6th constructor parameter**
(`engineScope?: Scope.Closeable`), wired from `AppFiberScopeTag` in
`StreamManagerLive` (`core.ts:226`). Default `undefined` keeps every
direct-construction test and `aiService.ts:174` path identical (I4).
`AppFiberScopeLive` already sits beneath S2b in `runtimeSeams`, so no
staging change (I6).
- Abort reason: reuse **`"system"`** — no wire/schema change; UI copy
for `system` already exists.
- Pending-start window (`pendingStreamStarts`, before registration) is
**not** supervised: nothing is persisted for it yet, and `stopStream`
already aborts pending controllers. Documented, not fixed.

**D3 — Fix the two adjacent cancel races in the same PR (closely-related
bugs, not deferrals).**
(a) `cleanupAbortedStream`: after `await processingPromise`, if
`streamInfo.terminalCompletion !== undefined` (completed/failed while
the cancel was in flight) → return without abort bookkeeping (prevents
`partial.json` resurrection after `deletePartial` and a `stream-abort`
after `stream-end`). (b) `cancelStreamSafely` (`:1766`): latch a
per-stream `cancelPromise` so concurrent cancellers (user stop racing
dispose) join one cleanup → exactly one `stream-abort`, one `settle`.
**Zero-suspension requirement:** the latch must be checked and assigned
**synchronously at function entry, before any `await`** (the current
first await is `flushPartialWrite` at `:1789`) — otherwise racing
callers can both enter `cleanupAbortedStream`. Shape:

```ts
if (streamInfo.cancelPromise) return streamInfo.cancelPromise;
streamInfo.cancelPromise = (async () => { /* existing body, unchanged */ })();
return streamInfo.cancelPromise;
```
Both are ≤ 10 LoC and get behavioral tests.

**D4 — Shutdown bound stays 2 s; the finalizer must be fast or
abandoned.**
Outer budgets are 5 s; 2 s + 2 s already consume 4 s. A flowing stream
aborts within one chunk; a wedged provider (no chunks, ignores abort)
hits the existing `boundedTeardown` timeout: warning, continue, process
exit — identical to today's outcome. Dogfooding measures the actual
`[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }` with a live stream.

**D5 — Turn handles: codify the settlement invariant; do not fiberize.**
Invariant: *a workspace-turn handle settles terminally only by (i) a
stream terminal event whose `muxMetadata` correlates `{taskHandleId,
ownerWorkspaceId, turnId}` to the record; (ii) an explicit interrupt
(`task_stop`/`interruptWorkspaceTurn`); (iii) manual supersession — a
manual child input after the turn anchor; (iv) stale-liveness
reconciliation.* An uncorrelated stream-end is **never** terminal by
itself. coder#3949 makes (iii) the only uncorrelated outcome; coder#3915
implements (iv) by identity. Wave 4 adds a `cause` discriminant to
`settleWorkspaceTurn` (the single chokepoint) with a runtime assertion,
plus the regression harness. Rationale for not converting waiters to
`Deferred`/fibers: no behavioral gain, 4.9k-line file, and the
coordinator's "settle only on the owning stream's termination" is
over-specified — a turn owns *several* streams.

**D6 — Startup: `initialize()` stays a Promise facade over a runtime-run
startup effect; timeout ⇒ same failure path as a thrown step.**
Each step is `Effect.tryPromise({ try: async () => step(), catch:
identity }).pipe(Effect.timeoutOrElse({ duration:
STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS, orElse: () => Effect.fail(new
StartupStepTimeoutError(name, ms)) }))` (`timeoutOrElse` exists in
rc.112, `Effect.d.ts:7833`; chosen over `timeout` + `catchTag` because
the step's error channel is `unknown`, which `catchTag` cannot narrow).
No `forkDetach` needed: a Promise step keeps running on its own when the
waiting fiber times out (not inside an uninterruptible region, so the
timeout interrupts the wait directly). `StartupStepTimeoutError extends
Error` with `name = "StartupStepTimeoutError"` set in the constructor
and message `"<step> exceeded <ms> ms"` (so the desktop dialog's error
formatting shows both the class and the step name) → desktop shows it in
the existing `Startup Failed` dialog; CLI/ACP/tests paths unchanged.
Step **errors keep their identity** (v4 `runPromise` rejects with the
raw failure). Downgrading any step to best-effort is a **policy change,
out of scope** (audit of the six implementations:
extensionMetadata/telemetry/experiments are local fs, <50 ms; policy has
its own 10 s fetch timeout; workspaceService bounds its sync internally;
only `taskService.initialize` — config scan + `editConfig` + recovery
`sendMessage`s — is potentially unbounded). The three `start()`s stay
sync (`Effect.sync`), the two fire-and-forget sweeps stay outside the
effect. `stepDurationsMs` is preserved.
**Abandon-and-quit safety:** an abandoned `taskService.initialize` may
be mid-`editConfig` when the root exits. Parity requirement for PR 3:
after a rejected `initialize()`, every root runs the bounded `dispose()`
before exiting. Verified: desktop already does — `services` is assigned
before the await (`main.ts:653–656`), the catch calls `app.quit()`, and
the `before-quit` listener (`:1271–1305`, guard `if (isDisposing ||
!services) return`) races `services.dispose()` against 5 s; ACP does
(`serverConnection.ts:205–216`); **`cli/server.ts` does not**
(`:133–136` awaited at top level, `main().catch` at `:282` only logs) →
PR 3 adds a bounded `dispose()` there (≤ 10 LoC, same 5 s budget).

**D7 — streamBridge: thread the runtime context, not a runner.**
`subscriptionIterable` gains `context?: Context.Context<never>` →
`Stream.toAsyncIterableWith(context)`; `routerSubscriptions` passes the
handler's `"effect/context"`. Production behavior identical; heartbeat
sleeps on the runtime `Clock`; tests can run the 3 clock-bound waits on
`TestClock`. Honest scope: the 8 readiness polls stay.

## 3. PRs (ordered by value ÷ risk; each independently mergeable)

### PR 1 — StreamManager engine core becomes the first `AppFiberScope`
occupant
**Value:** high (the only remaining shutdown data-integrity gap; the
reason `AppFiberScope` exists). **Risk:** medium → low with D1/D2. **Net
product LoC ≈ +55** (`superviseEngine` ~25, ctor param/field ~5,
`engineFiber` field ~2, D3 guards ~12, `core.ts` wiring ~2, doc updates
in `appRuntime.ts`/`appFiberScope.ts` "occupant" text ~10).

Files: `src/node/services/streamManager.ts`,
`src/node/services/di/layers/core.ts`,
`src/node/services/di/appRuntime.ts` + `appFiberScope.ts` (docs), tests
below.

Pre-work (before writing product code; each yields a note in the PR
body):
1. Confirm `processStreamWithCleanup` never rejects (try/catch/finally
shape `:3331–4089`); else the supervisor must fold rejections (it
already `catchDefect`s).
2. Confirm `Effect.promise` interruption + `onInterrupt` await ordering
under `Scope.close` in a 20-line probe test (pattern of
`appFiberScope.test.ts:27–47`).
3. Enumerate abort observers that run *after* the finalizer resolves
(AIService `stream-abort` listener → `commitPartial`; agentSession
completion continuations) and confirm the durable order (`writePartial`
→ commit → `deletePartial`) makes a mid-flight `process.exit`
recoverable on next load (it is: partial survives until commit
completes).
4. Measure: `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }` with a live stream
in the sandbox (D4).
5. Pin (same probe test): a fiber forked with `startImmediately: true`
into an already-closed scope still runs its `onInterrupt` finalizer
(reviewer-verified in rc.112 internals; the test guards RC bumps).

Acceptance (behavioral tests only):
- `streamManager.test.ts` (new cases; existing cases untouched): with
`engineScope = Scope.makeUnsafe("parallel")` and a fake
`createStreamResult` whose `fullStream` yields one `text-delta` then
blocks until its `AbortSignal` fires — `closeScopeBounded(engineScope)`
resolves; `writePartial` was called with the streamed text; exactly one
`stream-abort` (`abortReason: "system"`) and zero `stream-end`;
`completion` settles `{status:"aborted"}`; `workspaceStreams` is empty.
- Wedged provider (fullStream never yields, ignores abort):
`closeScopeBounded` resolves within the bound, never rejects, warns once
(assert the returned promise resolves and no throw; do **not** assert
log text).
- No-scope construction: identical event sequence to today (guards
existing suites; no new assertions needed beyond the unchanged suites
passing).
- D3(a): cancel issued after the loop exits but before `COMPLETED` →
history has exactly one final message, `partial.json` absent, event
order `stream-end` only.
- D3(b): `stopStream` + `closeScopeBounded` racing on one stream →
exactly one `stream-abort`, one settle.
- Fiber residue: after 50 completed streams,
`closeScopeBounded(engineScope)` emits zero `stream-abort` and completes
in the same tick class as an empty scope (assert no aborts and
`workspaceStreams.size === 0`).
- `streamManager.chaos.test.ts` — existing cases byte-identical; **one
new fuzz variant** constructs with an engine scope and closes it at a
random iteration: every stream settles **exactly once** (count terminal
events per `messageId` ≤ 1, all `completion` promises settle).
- `serviceContainer.test.ts`: "dispose() aborts and awaits an in-flight
stream before `desktopBridgeServer.stop()`" (extend the ordering harness
at `:295–323`); `coreServicesRoot.test.ts`: `xum run` cleanup list does
the same via `appFiberScope.close`.

Gate suites: `streamManager.test.ts`, `streamManager.chaos.test.ts`,
`streamManager.modelOnlyNotifications.test.ts`, `aiService.test.ts`,
`agentSession.disposeRace.test.ts`,
`agentSession.sinceReplayContract.test.ts`, `serviceContainer.test.ts`,
`coreServicesRoot.test.ts`, `di/*.test.ts`, `taskService.test.ts`,
`workspaceService.test.ts`, `turnRequestBuilder.test.ts`; `make
static-check`.

House pre-review audits: interruption posture (supervisor's only
suspension is the promise; finalizer uninterruptible end-to-end incl.
`cancelStreamSafely` → `cleanupAbortedStream`); no defect escapes
(`catchDefect` on the supervisor; `Effect.promise` thunks `async`);
spy-seam check (`processStreamWithCleanup`, `createStreamResult`,
`createStreamAtomically`, `startStream` signatures unchanged;
constructor arity unchanged, trailing optional); sync-start
(`processingPromise` assigned before fork; `runSync(forkIn)` completes
synchronously); no constructor side-effects added; zero-suspension check
on D3(b) latch (`cancelPromise` checked-and-assigned synchronously at
`cancelStreamSafely` entry, before the first `await` at `:1789`; review
the diff for any inserted `await`/lookup ahead of the assignment).

Rollback: revert the `core.ts` wiring line → `engineScope` undefined →
today's behavior; D3 guards can stay (independent bug fixes).

### PR 2 — Turn-settlement invariant + false-settle regression harness
(gated on coder#3949)
**Value:** high (7× production race). **Risk:** low. **Net product LoC ≈
+40** (`WorkspaceTurnSettlementCause` union + `cause` on
`settleWorkspaceTurn` params + assert ~10; 11 call sites × 1–3 lines).

Relationship to open PRs — explicit:
- **coder#3949 is the fix and a hard prerequisite.** PR 2 rebases on it,
changes none of its logic
(`interruptWorkspaceTurnFromUncorrelatedStreamEnd`,
`isWorkspaceTurnAnchorForRecord`, `isManualChildWorkspaceInput`), and
adds the invariant + proof on top. If coder#3949 has not merged when PRs 1/3
are done: **do not fork a competing fix**; report to the coordinator,
offer the regression test file to coder#3949's author as a review artifact,
and hold PR 2 (it is not on any other PR's critical path).
- **coder#3915 is a soft prerequisite.** Its diff (`:3800–4064` incl.
`settleStaleWorkspaceTurn`, a `settleWorkspaceTurn` caller) overlaps PR
2's one-line-per-caller change. Prefer landing after it; if PR 2 must go
first, the conflict is a one-line `cause:` addition per caller. PR 2
never edits liveness/reservation code.
- Wave 4 does not otherwise touch `workspaceTurnManager.ts`.

Design: `type WorkspaceTurnSettlementCause` enumerated from the 11
callers (audited at `main` @ `b87f62729`): `:1373` creation validation
failure; `:1476` pre-stream interrupt during launch; `:1500`/`:1518`
pre-stream send failure; `:3834`/`:3863` stale-liveness recovery /
restart timeout (`settleStaleWorkspaceTurn` — coder#3915's region); `:4301`
**uncorrelated-stream-end manual supersession** (the only uncorrelated
settle in the codebase; the path coder#3949 rewrites); `:4529` correlated
terminal; `:4571` stream-abort; `:4675` deferred stream error; `:4736`
terminal stream error. `settleWorkspaceTurn` asserts `params.cause` is a
member and, for `manual-supersession`, that the superseding input's
`messageId` is supplied — turning D5 into an exhaustive `Record<Cause,
…>` check rather than prose, so a future "settle on uncorrelated end"
cannot be added without naming (and justifying) a cause.

Acceptance:
- New `workspaceTurnManager.uncorrelatedStreamEnd.test.ts` (real
`WorkspaceTurnManager` + `TaskHandleStore` + fake `aiService` emitter,
following the existing suite's harness): (1) create turn → correlated
`stream-start` → **synthetic wake stream** on the same child ends
uncorrelated after the anchor → handle stays `running`, waiter
unresolved, no disposable cleanup, no terminal attention → correlated
`stream-end` → `completed`. (2) same with `finishReason:"tool-calls"`
continuation in between. (3) manual child input between anchor and end →
`interrupted` with `cause: manual-supersession`. (4) explicit
`interruptWorkspaceTurn` → `interrupted`, `cause: explicit-interrupt`.
Case (1) is the **scripted reproduction**: it must **fail on the
pre-coder#3949 merge-base** (run the file from a sibling worktree at `git
merge-base origin/main <coder#3949 head>`; record the failing assertion in
the PR body) and pass after.
- Existing 113 `workspaceTurnManager.test.ts` cases and
`taskService.test.ts` turn cases unchanged.

Gate suites: `workspaceTurnManager.test.ts`, `taskService.test.ts`,
`taskHandleStore.test.ts`, `tools/task*.test.ts`; `make static-check`.

Audits: spy-seam (`getWorkspaceTurn`, `listAllWorkspaceTurns`,
`enqueueTerminalAttention`, `deliverPersistentChildWorkspaceTurnResult`
untouched); settlement lock held across the assert; no new suspension
inside `withLock`.

Rollback: revert; the test file stays valid against coder#3949 alone (drop
the `cause` assertions).

### PR 3 — `ServiceContainer.initialize()` as a runtime-run startup
effect with per-step timeouts
**Value:** medium (a hung `taskService.initialize()` currently pins the
splash screen forever; deterministic TestClock tests of startup).
**Risk:** low–medium. **Net product LoC ≈ +80** (step table ~20,
timed-step helper ~15, `StartupStepTimeoutError` ~8, constant ~3, facade
~10, root dispose-on-failure parity ≤ 10, doc update ~10).

Files: `serviceContainer.ts`, `src/constants/terminationTimeouts.ts`
(keep with the termination constants so the budget doc stays in one
place), `cli/server.ts` (dispose in the startup catch if missing),
`di/appRuntime.ts` doc ("Deliberately not done" → remove the
initialize() line; add startup contract).

Design (D6): `initialize(): Promise<void>` →
`this.runtime.managed.runPromise(this.startupEffect())`. `startupEffect
= Effect.gen` over an ordered `readonly steps: ReadonlyArray<{ name,
run: () => Promise<void> }>` (assert names unique); each step:
`recordStep` timing kept, `Effect.tryPromise({ try: async () => run(),
catch: identity }).pipe(Effect.timeoutOrElse({ duration:
STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS, orElse: () => Effect.fail(new
StartupStepTimeoutError(name, STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS)) }))`. Then
`Effect.sync` for the three `start()`s; the sweeps remain after
`runPromise`. Constant `STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS` — pre-work measures
`[startup] <step> { ms }` across sandbox cold starts and picks ≥ 10× the
slowest observed (propose 60 s; must be generous — a false timeout turns
a slow-but-fine start into a crash). Roots dispose after a rejected
`initialize()` (D6 abandon-and-quit safety).

Acceptance (all in `serviceContainer.test.ts`, TestClock via the
existing `AppLive` spy at `:355–395`):
- A step that never resolves → `initialize()` rejects with
`StartupStepTimeoutError` naming the step after exactly
`TestClock.adjust(STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS)`; later steps did not run.
- A rejecting step → `initialize()` rejects with **the same error
object** (identity), later steps did not run (parity with today).
- Happy path → `stepDurationsMs` has all six keys; `start()`s called
once each; second `initialize()` call behavior unchanged from today
(verify whether re-entry is guarded today; preserve).
- `tests/ipc` harness and ACP entry still pass unchanged.

Gate suites: `serviceContainer.test.ts`, `coreServicesRoot.test.ts`,
`di/*.test.ts`, `src/node/acp/*.test.ts`, `TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest
tests/ipc` (smoke subset); `make static-check`.

Audits: I1 untouched (no layer body changes); I2 (only the composition
root touches the runtime); error identity preserved (no wrapping);
abandoned-step safety — every root runs bounded `dispose()` after a
rejected `initialize()` (D6; `cli/server.ts` gains it in this PR); no
sweep moved into the effect; the six-step order and `[startup] <step>`
names unchanged.

Rollback: revert; constant removal.

### PR 4 (optional — cut if budget is exhausted) — `streamBridge` on the
runtime context
**Value:** low (closes the last documented "global runtime" exception;
enables TestClock for the heartbeat). **Risk:** low. **Net product LoC ≈
+30** (`context?` option + `toAsyncIterableWith` ~8; 19 call sites × 1
line via one shared helper in `routerSubscriptions.ts` ~3).

Acceptance: the 3 clock-bound waits (`:207, :241, :255`) run on
`TestClock`; the heartbeat test asserts N heartbeats after
`TestClock.adjust(N × interval)` with zero real time; existing
behavioral assertions unchanged; `tests/ipc` subscription tests pass. Do
not rewrite the 8 readiness polls.

Gate suites: `streamBridge.test.ts`, `routerSubscriptions*.test.ts`,
`orpc/*.test.ts`, `TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest tests/ipc`
(subscription subset); `make static-check`.

Audits: `Stream.toAsyncIterableWith` preserves double-close safety (pin
with the existing test); `Cause.Done` typing unchanged; no
`Scope`/`MemoMap`/`Scheduler` captured (pass the oRPC `effect/context`,
which the DI layer already strips per `EffectRunnerLive`); `context`
stays optional so direct callers/tests without a runtime keep today's
global-runtime path.

Rollback: revert; the optional `context` default (`Context.empty()`) is
exactly today's `toAsyncIterable`, so a partial revert of call sites is
also safe.

### Execution order and size
Net product LoC for the wave ≈ **+205** (PR 1 ≈ +55, PR 2 ≈ +40, PR 3 ≈
+80, PR 4 ≈ +30); tests ≈ +600–800. PR 1 starts immediately. PR 2 starts
the moment coder#3949 merges (parallel with PR 1/3 — disjoint files). PR 3
after PR 1 merges (both touch `appRuntime.ts` docs; PR 3 also touches
`serviceContainer.ts`). PR 4 last, only if PRs 1–3 landed and no
OFF-RAMP fired. Each PR: Codex dual review, `Codex Comments`
minimization, merge queue; commit WIP early (`/tmp` wipes).

## 4. STOP criterion (measurable) and OFF-RAMPs

Wave 4 is **done** — and the Effect migration line **stops** without a
new RFC — when all hold:
1. **dispose() awaits in-flight streams:** `serviceContainer.test.ts`
ordering test + `coreServicesRoot.test.ts` pass on main; a sandbox
`script -f` transcript of `xum server` receiving SIGTERM mid-stream
shows `stream-abort` → `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }` →
`[shutdown] desktopBridgeServer.stop`, and immediately after exit
`partial.json` is absent while `chat.jsonl` contains the interrupted
assistant message (baseline on `main`: `partial.json` present, message
absent until next load). `{ ms }` < 2000 in the flowing-stream case.
2. **False-settle class eliminated:** the scripted reproduction fails on
the pre-coder#3949 merge-base and passes on main after PR 2;
`settleWorkspaceTurn` rejects any settlement without an enumerated
cause; the coordinator's own Mux sessions show zero "superseded by an
uncorrelated workspace stream-end" in the two weeks after PR 2 (soft
signal, logged in the wave summary).
3. **Startup:** timeout and error-identity tests pass under TestClock;
`[startup]` per-step lines unchanged in the sandbox transcript; a
throwaway build with the constant set to 1 ms shows `Startup failed:
StartupStepTimeoutError: <step> exceeded 1 ms` and a clean exit.
4. **No new lifecycle flakes:** 0 failures attributable to the touched
suites across **N = 20** consecutive *completed* `Test / Unit` runs on
`main` after the last Wave 4 merge — query `gh run list --workflow
pr.yml --branch main --limit 60 --json
databaseId,status,conclusion,event,headSha` (note: `gh run list --json`
serializes these fields in **lowercase**, e.g.
`{"status":"completed","conclusion":"success"}`, unlike
`statusCheckRollup`), keep `status === "completed"` (pending runs have
an empty `conclusion`, not null), take the newest 20, and for any run
with `conclusion !== "success"` (case-insensitive normalization
acceptable) inspect the failing job's log for the touched suite names
(job `timeout`/`cancelled` from the 15-min budget is not a flake); plus
green merge-queue runs for each PR. Any attributable flake → fix or
revert before declaring done.

**OFF-RAMP (PR 1):** fires if pre-work 1–3 shows (a) routing shutdown
through `cancelStreamSafely` cannot preserve crash-recovery semantics
without changing `cleanupAbortedStream`'s contract beyond D3, (b) the
chaos variant exposes a double-settle not closable by D3(b), or (c) the
finalizer cannot fit the 2 s bound for flowing streams. Then: stop PR 1,
keep `AppFiberScope` unoccupied, update `appRuntime.ts` "Deliberately
not done" with the concrete blocker and the measured evidence, land D3
alone as a bug-fix PR. PRs 2–4 are independent and proceed.
**OFF-RAMP (PR 3):** if error identity or the `tests/ipc`/ACP paths
cannot be preserved, keep `initialize()` as is and record why.
**OFF-RAMP (PR 2):** coder#3949 not merged → hold (see PR 2).

## 5. Risk register

| Risk | Likelihood | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Crash-recovery regression: double commit / partial resurrection when
shutdown-abort races completion | medium (window widens with dispose())
| D3(a) guard + test; `commitPartial`'s `historySequence`
update-or-append is idempotent (`historyService.ts:2036–2041`) |
| Provider abort emits an `error` chunk → error path instead of abort
path | low | identical to today's user-stop path (parity); chaos variant
covers hostile streams |
| Wedged provider pins the 2 s bound → warning every shutdown | low |
`boundedTeardown` already bounds; transcript measures; no budget change
possible (5 s outer) |
| AIService `stream-abort` listener (`commitPartial`) still in flight
when `process.exit` runs | low | durable order writePartial → commit →
deletePartial; next-load recovery; PR 1 transcript checks `partial.json`
is already gone when `cli/server.ts` logs its final cleanup line before
`process.exit(0)` (`:252–266`) |
| Chaos-test seams (`createStreamResult`, `tokenTracker`) | none if
scope-less construction stays default | new variant added, old cases
untouched |
| Collision with coder#3915/coder#3949 | medium | PR 2 gated; no edits to their
regions; one-line `cause:` conflicts only |
| RC churn (rc.113+ renames
`forkIn`/`onInterrupt`/`toAsyncIterableWith`) | low | all Effect imports
already in `streamManager.ts`/`streamBridge.ts`; pins fixed; GA upgrade
is a separate lockstep PR (§6) |
| Startup false timeout on slow hosts | medium if constant too small |
measure first; ≥ 10× slowest observed; generous default (60 s) |
| Sync-start assumptions in tests that
`Reflect.set(processStreamWithCleanup)` | low | promise assigned before
fork; forkIn `runSync` synchronous |
| `shutdown()` (desktop second `before-quit` listener) still does not
await streams | accepted | contract says `shutdown()` never touches the
runtime; desktop's dispose race is the covered path |
| Streams starting during shutdown | covered | `forkIn` on closed scope
interrupts immediately → `system` abort (`startImmediately` semantics
verified in rc.112; pinned by test) |
| `system` abort triggers an in-session RetryManager retry during
shutdown | **unreachable** (verified) | `"aborted"` ∈
`NON_RETRYABLE_STREAM_ERRORS` → `retryManager.ts:99–104` abandons; no
fiber scheduled |
| PR 3: abandoned `taskService.initialize` mid-`editConfig` when the
root exits after a timeout | low | desktop/ACP already dispose on
startup failure; PR 3 adds the missing `cli/server.ts` dispose; config
writes are lock/journal-protected |
| `startImmediately`/`onInterrupt` semantics differ in a later RC | low
| pinned by the probe test in `appFiberScope.test.ts` style; RC bumps
are a separate lockstep PR |

## 6. Standing item — effect v4 GA + `@orpc/experimental-effect`
lockstep (analysis only)

v4 is **not GA** (rc.112 is current; v3 `3.x` remains the stable line).
No PR this wave. When GA ships: one lockstep PR bumping `effect` + all
`@orpc/*` (`1.14.11` today; check the GA-compatible
`@orpc/experimental-effect`), canary gates = `di/*.test.ts`,
`streamBridge.test.ts`, `streamManager.test.ts`,
`serviceContainer.test.ts`, `TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest tests/ipc`,
`make static-check`. The `Context → ServiceMap` rename risk is
firewalled: `Context.Service` tags, `Context.omit/get`, `Layer`,
`ManagedRuntime`, `TestClock` live only under `di/` +
`orpc/effectContext.ts`; `streamManager.ts`/`streamBridge.ts` use
`Effect`/`Scope`/`Fiber`/`Exit`/`Stream`/`Queue`/`Cause` only. PR 4 adds
one `Context.Context<never>` type reference to `streamBridge.ts` — keep
it as a type-only import so a rename is a one-line fix.

## 7. Dogfooding (per PR; evidence attached to the PR with `gh …
--attach`)

Common setup: `make dev-server-sandbox
DEV_SERVER_SANDBOX_ARGS="--clean-projects"` (or `xum server` on a temp
`XUM_ROOT`) with `XUM_LOG_LEVEL=debug`, run under `script -f
~/wave4-scratch/<pr>-<scenario>.log`; scratch under
`$HOME/wave4-scratch/` (never `/tmp`). Drive the UI with `agent-browser`
(`open` → `snapshot -i` → click the explicit "Send message" ref;
re-snapshot after typing). Screenshots are primary evidence; record WebM
and finalize with `ffmpeg -c copy`.

- **PR 1:** (1) start a long stream (prompt that streams ~30 s), wait
3–5 s, `kill -TERM <server pid>`; transcript must show the order in STOP
coder#1 and `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }`; (2) `ls
<XUM_ROOT>/sessions/<ws>/partial.json` (absent) + `tail -n 1 chat.jsonl`
(interrupted assistant message); (3) restart, open the workspace in
agent-browser, screenshot the persisted interrupted message; (4) same
scenario on `main` for the baseline diff; (5) `xum run` Ctrl-C
mid-stream transcript (CLI root parity); (6) quality gate between
phases: gate suites green before the sandbox run, sandbox evidence
before requesting review.
- **PR 2:** primary evidence is the regression file run on both the
merge-base worktree (failing output) and the branch (passing).
Secondary: sandbox parent workspace delegates via `task` kind=workspace
to a child that arms a background bash monitor firing within ~10 s and
keeps working ~60 s; screenshot the parent's task result (baseline
`main`: `interrupted … uncorrelated workspace stream-end`; after:
`completed`) and the child's log lines.
- **PR 3:** `xum server` cold start transcript with `[startup] <step> {
ms }` for the six steps (parity); throwaway worktree build with
`STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS = 1` → transcript of `Startup failed:
StartupStepTimeoutError …` and exit code (do not ship); desktop dialog
cannot be shown headless — cite the unchanged
`desktop/main.ts:1249–1265` catch.
- **PR 4:** agent-browser session left idle 60 s with the connection
indicator visible (heartbeats keep it green) + screenshot;
`streamBridge.test.ts` on TestClock.

## 8. Non-goals (restated; out of this wave)

Typed-error propagation sweep / removing the ~113 facades; converting
services to `yield*`-based Effect services; PubSub for the internal
EventEmitter bus; Schema at persistence boundaries; Effect
observability; converting sync read paths, AI-SDK per-request callbacks,
cross-process lock interiors, or deterministic try-lock funnels;
replacing `AbortController` as the SDK cancellation transport;
converting the `fullStream` loop to `Stream`; fiberizing turn-handle
waiters; downgrading startup steps to best-effort; changing outer quit
budgets; supervising the pre-registration stream-start window;
`shutdown()` semantics; the effect GA bump (standing analysis only).

## Summary

Make workspace-turn terminal transitions name an internal, validated
cause, and pin the synthetic-wake false-settlement regression fixed by
#3949. **No lifecycle-policy, persisted schema, wire, liveness, or
Effect-fiber changes.**

- Cover all 13 central settlement call sites plus the independent
explicit-interrupt path with 14 cause kinds. The same synchronous
validator runs inside each existing lock before terminal persistence;
explicit stop retains its epoch/latch/mirror ordering.
- Carry the actual superseding input ID for manual supersession.
Preserve conservative interruption on unreadable history, missing
stream-end, missing anchor, or invalid persisted manual-input ID under a
separate cause with an explicit reason; no fabricated manual evidence or
extra history reads.
- Add 19 real-manager/real-store/real-HistoryService regression cases
covering pending waiters, disposable cleanup, terminal attention,
continuation, malformed causes, and explicit-stop ordering. Reuse the
existing test harness without changing existing assertions.

## Evidence

- **Exact pre-fix main `3937abd4e96ab7475f5f702bd40118016f83e5c4`:**
behavior-only reproduction compiles and fails at the `running`
assertion: actual `interrupted`, “Workspace turn superseded by an
uncorrelated workspace stream-end.” The new cause assertions are not
involved.
- **PR2:** 791 tests pass across the manager, TaskService,
TaskHandleStore, task tools, and workspace-turn inheritance suites;
`make static-check` and a fresh `make build` pass on Bun 1.3.5. Detailed
logs, reproduction, and isolated live evidence are in the first comment.

**Live dogfood limitation:** two fresh isolated parent/child monitor
attempts failed the requested waiting-through-final scenario: the parent
received an early **correlated** `finishReason: "tool-calls"` error.
With a retained child, the 60-second script then exited successfully and
the child completed with the same turn correlation; the handle
self-healed to completed after the parent had already failed. No
uncorrelated assistant end or new cause assertion failure occurred. The
untouched monitor-withdrawal/queue-cut continuation path is documented
with screenshots/video in the first comment; per the addendum, this PR
does not broaden into that lifecycle-policy fix. **Live success is not
claimed.**

## Scope / risk

The Sep 5 addendum supersedes the original
single-chokepoint/manual-only/11-caller assumptions. Production is
**+104 net lines** rather than the stale ~40 estimate. The manager owns
no AI emitter routing: its regression fixture uses actual
creation/admission, the established AI fake with correlated stream
state, and the manager's direct event entry point. Existing
private-settlement tests receive causes only; all existing assertions
remain intact.

The validator is an internal developer contract, not a new authorization
or recovery policy. Arbitrary uncorrelated synthetic output is never
authoritative completion; readable anchored history without manual
supersession stays nonterminal. Unknown-history conservative
interruption remains intentional. #3915 remains a soft dependency; the
two-week live-host observation and post-wave N20 main-run check remain
follow-up signals, not claims established by this PR.

addendum)</summary>

# Effect migration — Wave 4: finish the concurrency/lifecycle core

Bounded wave: **4 PRs (PR 4 optional), explicit STOP criterion, explicit
OFF-RAMPs.** Plan only; nothing here is implemented.

> **Review status:** Independently reviewed (adversarial Reviewer
sub-agent, advisor unavailable): APPROVE WITH REQUIRED EDITS — both
edits applied; verified claims: Effect.promise 0-arity thunk allocates
no AbortController (internal/effect.js:741–776); closed-scope
forkIn+startImmediately runs onInterrupt (2237–2274, 391–409); forkIn
observer removes the scope finalizer on exit (2270–2271);
Effect.timeoutOrElse exists (Effect.d.ts:7833); 0 line drift at
b87f62729; 11 settleWorkspaceTurn callers confirmed; 'aborted' ∈
NON_RETRYABLE_STREAM_ERRORS. Line references are to `main` @
`b87f62729`.

## 0. Thesis check (coordinator's judgment vs. evidence)

**Thesis:** Effect's payoff in this app is structured concurrency +
interruption-safe lifecycles in the orchestration core (still Promise +
AbortController).

**Verdict: holds for the stream engine; only half-holds for turn
handles.**

- Stream engine — **holds.** `ServiceContainer.dispose()` never stops or
awaits in-flight streams (`serviceContainer.ts:478–537` has no
`streamManager` step); an in-flight stream dies with the process and is
recovered on next load from `partial.json` (≤ 500 ms stale,
`PARTIAL_WRITE_THROTTLE_MS`, `streamManager.ts:776`). `AppFiberScope`
exists precisely for this and has no occupant. A supervised per-stream
fiber is the right tool.
- Turn handles — **half-holds.** The 7× "superseded by an uncorrelated
workspace stream-end" false-settle is a _correlation-predicate_ bug
(`interruptWorkspaceTurnFromUncorrelatedStreamEnd`,
`workspaceTurnManager.ts:4220–4307`: any uncorrelated stream-end after
the prompt index settles the handle `interrupted`), not a
Promise-vs-fiber structure bug. Turn handles are **persisted records**
(`taskHandleStore.upsertWorkspaceTurn`) spanning **multiple streams**
(tool-call continuations are deferred via `hasSameTurnContinuation`,
`:4491`) and surviving restarts; a fiber/Deferred can only model the
in-process waiter and would not fix correlation. Open PR **#3949** fixes
the predicate in Promise idiom and is Codex-green. Wave 4's turn-handle
PR therefore becomes **"codify the settlement invariant + prove the
class is gone"**, not "fiberize handles" (D5 below).

Corrected baseline numbers (measured this workspace): 46/470 `src/node`
non-test files import `effect` (coordinator said 35); 113 direct
`Effect.run*` sites outside `di/` in 16 files; 226 `Effect.gen`; 9
`TaggedError` classes; effect `4.0.0-rc.112`, `@orpc/*` `1.14.11`;
**effect v4 is not GA** (rc line still current).

## 1. Verified current state (evidence the design rests on)

<details>
<summary>Stream engine (streamManager.ts)</summary>

- `startStream` (`:4723–4901`): per-workspace mutex → `new
AbortController()` + `linkAbortSignal` (`:4771–4772`) → `resourceScope =
Scope.makeUnsafe()` (`:4777`) → temp-dir `Effect.acquireRelease`
(`:4802–4824`) → `createStreamAtomically` → `streamText` (`:2244`,
`abortSignal: abortController.signal` `:2250`) → registered in
`workspaceStreams` (`:2463`) → **`streamInfo.processingPromise =
this.processStreamWithCleanup(...)` fire-and-forget (`:4876–4882`)** →
returns `Ok({ messageId, completion })`.
- `processStreamWithCleanup` (`:3331–4089`, plain async): `while(true)`
retry loop; `for await (part of fullStream)` (`:3358–3837`) with abort
check at loop head (`:3361`); post-loop `if (!signal.aborted)` gate
(`:3849`) → completion path (`deletePartial` `:3981`, `updateHistory`
`:3989`, `recordSessionUsage` `:4001`, `state = COMPLETED` `:4017`, emit
`stream-end` `:4023`, `terminalCompletion` `:4024`); error path →
`handleStreamFailure` (`:4094–4112`) → `persistStreamError` writes error
partial; `finally` (`:4052–4088`): release MCP lease,
`Effect.runFork(Scope.close(resourceScope))` (`:4064–4066`), unlink
abort, `workspaceStreams.delete`, `eventSpine.emit("stream.end")`,
`completionController.settle`.
- Cancellation: `stopStream` (`:5043–5111`) → `cancelStreamSafely`
(`:1766–1800`): `if (state === COMPLETED) { await processingPromise;
return }` → `state = STOPPING` → `flushPartialWrite` →
`abortController.abort()` → `cleanupAbortedStream` (`:1828–1951`):
`await processingPromise` → usage → `writePartial` (`:1876–1910`) →
`emitStreamAbort` → `settle({status:"aborted"})`. **No completed-guard
after the await** (verified `:1838–1951`): a cancel landing between
`:3849` and `:4017` re-writes `partial.json` after `deletePartial` and
emits `stream-abort` after `stream-end` (pre-existing window; dispose()
will widen its exposure). `cancelStreamSafely` is also not idempotent
for concurrent callers (only `COMPLETED` is checked).
- AIService on `stream-abort` (`aiService.ts:355–377`): `abandonPartial
? deletePartial : commitPartial → deletePartial` (fire-and-forget
listener).
- Crash recovery: `HistoryService.commitPartial`
(`historyService.ts:1963–2061`) — strips error metadata,
`hasCommitWorthyParts`, stale-epoch check, update-or-append by
`historySequence`, delete partial; invoked from `agentSession.init`
(`:5002`), `aiService.streamMessage` (`:886`), stream-abort (`:364`),
`duplicateWorkspace`.
- `StreamAbortReason = "user" | "startup" | "system"`
(`src/common/orpc/schemas/stream.ts:295`).
- Pinned seams: chaos test `Reflect.set(streamManager, "tokenTracker" |
"createStreamResult")` (`streamManager.chaos.test.ts:130–134, 238–242`);
`streamManager.test.ts` `Reflect.set` on `processStreamWithCleanup`
(`:2787`), `createStreamAtomically` (`:2783`), `createTempDirForStream`,
`cleanupStreamTempDir`, `Reflect.get` on `workspaceStreams`,
`schedulePartialWrite`, …; `modelOnlyNotifications.test.ts` calls
`processStreamWithCleanup` directly (`:93, :187`); `aiService.test.ts`
spies `startStream`, `generateStreamToken`, `createTempDirForStream`,
`isResponseIdLost`. Constructor: `(historyService, sessionUsageService?,
getProvidersConfig?, eventSink = noop, runner = defaultEffectRunner)`
(`:801–813`); `effectRunner` used at `:1152, :1154, :1169` only.
- Every stream event carries `workspaceId` + `messageId`;
`stream-end`/`stream-abort`/`error` carry `metadata.muxMetadata` when
the prompt had it.

<details>
<summary>DI / shutdown / startup</summary>

- `AppFiberScopeLive` is in `CoreLive`'s `runtimeSeams`
(`di/layers/core.ts:644`), so both roots have it; `StreamManagerLive`
(`core.ts:226–238`, stage S2b) already yields `EffectRunnerTag`. CLI
cleanup lists include `appFiberScope.close` (`cli/run.ts:1579`,
`cli/workflow.ts:286`).
- Bounds: `APP_FIBER_SCOPE_CLOSE_TIMEOUT_MS = 2000`,
`APP_RUNTIME_DISPOSE_TIMEOUT_MS = 2000`; outer budgets are **5000 ms**
on both desktop (`desktop/main.ts:1297` `Promise.race` vs
`setTimeout(5000)`) and `xum server` (`cli/server.ts:236–243`
force-exit). **The scope bound cannot grow** without changing outer
budgets.
- rc.112 semantics verified in
`node_modules/effect/dist/internal/effect.js:2264`: `forkIn` registers a
scope finalizer and **removes it when the fiber completes** (no leak),
and **interrupts immediately if the scope is already closed** (streams
starting mid-shutdown fail closed). `Effect.promise(evaluate: (signal)
=> PromiseLike)`, `Effect.onInterrupt`, `Effect.forkIn(_, scope, {
startImmediately? })`, `Stream.toAsyncIterableWith(context)`,
`Stream.provideContext` all exist.
- `ServiceContainer.initialize()` (`serviceContainer.ts:297–362`): six
awaited `initialize()`s wrapped in `recordStep` (durations only, no
catch, no timeout) + three sync `start()`s + two fire-and-forget sweeps.
Failure handling: desktop `Startup Failed` dialog + `app.quit()`
(`desktop/main.ts:1249–1265`); `cli/server.ts:136` uncontained; ACP
`serverConnection.ts:205–216` dispose + rethrow; `tests/ipc/setup.ts:85`
no catch. No outer timeout anywhere.
- `streamBridge.subscriptionIterable` (`orpc/streamBridge.ts:176`) →
`Stream.toAsyncIterable(...)` on the global runtime, 19 call sites in
`routerSubscriptions.ts`; heartbeat via `Effect.sleep` in `forkScoped`
(`:145–152`). `streamBridge.test.ts` has 11 real-time waits, but only
**3 are clock-bound** (`:207` 1 ms initial delay, `:241` heartbeat 10
ms, `:255` 10 ms laziness); 8 are `waitFor(listenerCount…)` readiness
polls that TestClock cannot replace.

<summary>Turn handles + open PRs</summary>

- Handle record `{ handleId "wst_…", ownerWorkspaceId, workspaceId,
turnId, messageId, status, attentionPolicy, disposableWorkspace }`;
prompt carries `muxMetadata: { type:"workspace-turn-task", taskHandleId,
ownerWorkspaceId, turnId }` (`workspaceTurnManager.ts:1420`).
`TaskService` forwards `aiService` `stream-end`/`stream-abort`/`error`
to `finalizeWorkspaceTurnFromStreamEnd` (`:4442–4544`): correlated
branch matches `record.workspaceId && record.turnId` (`:4472`);
**uncorrelated branch** (`metadata == null`, not `agentId ===
"compact"`) → `interruptWorkspaceTurnFromUncorrelatedStreamEnd` →
settles `interrupted` whenever `streamEndIndex >= promptIndex`
(`:4293–4305`). Producers of such uncorrelated ends: bash-monitor wake
continuations, child terminal-attention deliveries, heartbeat, peer
messages, parent auto-resume.
- Cascade: disposable child → `cleanupDisposableWorkspaceTurn` →
`workspaceService.remove(…, true)` kills its background processes;
persistent child → parent sees `interrupted` → `task_stop` →
`backgroundProcessManager.stopMonitor(…, "canceled")`. This is the
observed "monitors died afterwards".
- Settlement chokepoint: `settleWorkspaceTurn(params)` (`:2085`), **11
callers**, guarded by `workspaceTurnSettlementLocks.withLock(handleId)`;
waiters in `pendingWorkspaceTurnWaitersByHandleId` with `setTimeout`
timeouts (`:2425–2496`).
- **#3949** "preserve turns across synthetic wake ends" (coadler):
rewrites the uncorrelated branch — walks history from the turn anchor to
the stream-end and settles _only if a manual child input intervened_
(`isManualChildWorkspaceInput`); otherwise ignores the end. Touches
`:281–295, :4217–4355` + tests (+286/−31). Codex: "Didn't find any major
issues" + clean security on `f9baa2fc9`. `mergeable: MERGEABLE`, but
`Test / Unit` and `Codex Comments` red, 19 commits behind main.
- **#3915** "correlate workspace-turn liveness" (coadler): creation

`getWorkspaceTurnLiveness`/`getWorkspaceTurnRuntimeActivity`
(identity-matches the active stream's `muxMetadata` against the record)
for staleness/capacity. Touches `:442–486, :1298, :2573, :3761,
:3800–4064` (+494/−60). `BLOCKED`, latest Codex review has open
findings, `Test / Unit` red, 19 behind.
- Together they are the identity-correlated model the coordinator wants:
#3915 = identity-correlated _liveness_, #3949 = identity-gated
_settlement_.

## 2. Design decisions

**D1 — Fibers WRAP the AbortController; they do not replace it.**
The AI SDK is cancelled only via `AbortSignal`; the `for await` loop,
soft-interrupt at step boundaries, retry/fallback re-creation of
`streamResult`, and ~30 abort touchpoints (#4032) all key off the
signal. Converting the 750-line loop to `Stream.fromAsyncIterable` +
fiber interruption would touch hundreds of `WorkspaceStreamInfo`
transitions and break the
`processStreamWithCleanup`/`createStreamResult` spy seams. Instead:
**the fiber is the ownership/supervision unit; the signal stays the
cancellation transport.** The dual-cancellation glue #4032 feared is
confined to **one** point — the supervisor's `onInterrupt` — which
routes through the existing user-stop path (`cancelStreamSafely`), so
shutdown ≡ "user pressed stop" semantically (partial flushed with usage,
`stream-abort` emitted, `completion` settles `aborted`, AIService
commits the partial).

**D2 — Supervisor topology: one supervisor fiber per stream in
`AppFiberScope`, wrapping the already-started `processingPromise`.**
`streamInfo.processingPromise = this.processStreamWithCleanup(...)`
stays byte-identical (sync-start preserved;
`Reflect.set(processStreamWithCleanup)` seam preserved;
`cleanupAbortedStream`'s `await processingPromise` unchanged).
Immediately after it:

```ts
// startStream, after processingPromise is assigned (unsupervised path unchanged when no scope)
this.superviseEngine(typedWorkspaceId, streamInfo);

private superviseEngine(workspaceId: WorkspaceId, streamInfo: WorkspaceStreamInfo): void {
  if (this.engineScope === undefined) return;               // direct construction / CLI tests: today's behavior
  assert(streamInfo.engineFiber === undefined, "engine already supervised");
  // Zero-arity thunk on purpose: rc.112 allocates an internal AbortController only
  // when `evaluate.length !== 0`; the stream's own controller stays the sole signal.
  const supervisor = Effect.promise(() => streamInfo.processingPromise).pipe(
    Effect.onInterrupt(() =>
      Effect.uninterruptible(   // explicit, per house doctrine (finalizers are already uninterruptible)
        Effect.promise(async () => this.cancelStreamSafely(workspaceId, streamInfo, "system"))
      )
    ),
    Effect.catchDefect((d) => Effect.sync(() => log.warn("[stream] engine supervisor defect", { workspaceId, error: d })))
  );
  streamInfo.engineFiber = this.effectRunner.runSync(
    Effect.forkIn(supervisor, this.engineScope, { startImmediately: true })
  );
}
```

- `Effect.promise` is interruptible while suspended
(`internal/effect.js:741–801`, Async op); `onInterrupt` =
`onErrorFilter(causeFilterInterruptors, …)` (`:1762`); `forkIn`
registers `fiberInterrupt(fiber)` as the scope finalizer (`:2264–2275`),
`fiberInterrupt` awaits the fiber (`:635–642`), and parallel
`scopeClose` awaits all finalizers via `fiberAwaitAll` (`:1590–1601`) →
`closeScopeBounded` at dispose step 2 gives "interrupt **and** await"
while `historyService`/`sessionUsage`/`eventSink → AIService → bridge
servers` are still alive (bridges stop in step 3, so clients receive
`stream-abort`).
- Normal completion: fiber exits → `forkIn`'s observer removes the scope
finalizer (verified) → no per-stream residue.
- Stream started after step 2: `forkIn` on a closed scope calls
`fiber.interruptUnsafe` synchronously and returns the fiber
(`:2272–2274`, `runSync` does not defect). With `startImmediately:
true`, `forkUnsafe` runs `child.evaluate` synchronously (`:2233–2247`)
up to the `Effect.promise` Async op (`:772–801`), so the fiber is
suspended (`_running=false`) when the interrupt lands and
`interruptUnsafe` (`:391–409`) unwinds the stack through the
`onInterrupt` handler → the stream is aborted as `system` (fail-closed
during shutdown). Verified in rc.112 internals (`effect.js:2233–2247,
391–409`); **pin with a test** ("stream started after scope close is
aborted") so an RC bump cannot silently change it.
- `"system"` is semantically exact: `"user"`/`"startup"` suppress
next-startup recovery (`retryEligibility.ts:114–118, 284–287`),
`"system"` marks an involuntary backend interruption (as
`taskService.ts:8100, 8223` use it). **No in-session retry loop is
possible:** the `stream-abort` handler (`agentSession.ts:6010`) routes
`{ type: "aborted" }` to `retryManager.handleStreamFailure`, and
`"aborted"` is in `NON_RETRYABLE_STREAM_ERRORS`
(`retryEligibility.ts:49–59, 106`) → `retryManager.ts:99–104` abandons
immediately, never schedules a fiber. Dogfooding still checks the
_restart_ UX (the recovered partial is shown as interrupted; note
whether any next-startup recovery re-sends — same class as today's
`system` aborts from `taskService`).
- `engineScope` arrives as an **optional 6th constructor parameter**
(`engineScope?: Scope.Closeable`), wired from `AppFiberScopeTag` in
`StreamManagerLive` (`core.ts:226`). Default `undefined` keeps every
direct-construction test and `aiService.ts:174` path identical (I4).
`AppFiberScopeLive` already sits beneath S2b in `runtimeSeams`, so no
staging change (I6).
- Abort reason: reuse **`"system"`** — no wire/schema change; UI copy
for `system` already exists.
- Pending-start window (`pendingStreamStarts`, before registration) is
**not** supervised: nothing is persisted for it yet, and `stopStream`
already aborts pending controllers. Documented, not fixed.

**D3 — Fix the two adjacent cancel races in the same PR (closely-related
bugs, not deferrals).**
(a) `cleanupAbortedStream`: after `await processingPromise`, if
`streamInfo.terminalCompletion !== undefined` (completed/failed while
the cancel was in flight) → return without abort bookkeeping (prevents
`partial.json` resurrection after `deletePartial` and a `stream-abort`
after `stream-end`). (b) `cancelStreamSafely` (`:1766`): latch a
per-stream `cancelPromise` so concurrent cancellers (user stop racing
dispose) join one cleanup → exactly one `stream-abort`, one `settle`.
**Zero-suspension requirement:** the latch must be checked and assigned
**synchronously at function entry, before any `await`** (the current
first await is `flushPartialWrite` at `:1789`) — otherwise racing
callers can both enter `cleanupAbortedStream`. Shape:

```ts
if (streamInfo.cancelPromise) return streamInfo.cancelPromise;
streamInfo.cancelPromise = (async () => {
  /* existing body, unchanged */
})();
return streamInfo.cancelPromise;
```

Both are ≤ 10 LoC and get behavioral tests.

**D4 — Shutdown bound stays 2 s; the finalizer must be fast or
abandoned.**
Outer budgets are 5 s; 2 s + 2 s already consume 4 s. A flowing stream
aborts within one chunk; a wedged provider (no chunks, ignores abort)
hits the existing `boundedTeardown` timeout: warning, continue, process
exit — identical to today's outcome. Dogfooding measures the actual
`[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }` with a live stream.

**D5 — Turn handles: codify the settlement invariant; do not fiberize.**
Invariant: _a workspace-turn handle settles terminally only by (i) a
stream terminal event whose `muxMetadata` correlates `{taskHandleId,
ownerWorkspaceId, turnId}` to the record; (ii) an explicit interrupt
(`task_stop`/`interruptWorkspaceTurn`); (iii) manual supersession — a
manual child input after the turn anchor; (iv) stale-liveness
reconciliation._ An uncorrelated stream-end is **never** terminal by
itself. #3949 makes (iii) the only uncorrelated outcome; #3915
implements (iv) by identity. Wave 4 adds a `cause` discriminant to
`settleWorkspaceTurn` (the single chokepoint) with a runtime assertion,
plus the regression harness. Rationale for not converting waiters to
`Deferred`/fibers: no behavioral gain, 4.9k-line file, and the
coordinator's "settle only on the owning stream's termination" is
over-specified — a turn owns _several_ streams.

**D6 — Startup: `initialize()` stays a Promise facade over a runtime-run
startup effect; timeout ⇒ same failure path as a thrown step.**
Each step is `Effect.tryPromise({ try: async () => step(), catch:
identity }).pipe(Effect.timeoutOrElse({ duration:
STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS, orElse: () => Effect.fail(new
StartupStepTimeoutError(name, ms)) }))` (`timeoutOrElse` exists in
rc.112, `Effect.d.ts:7833`; chosen over `timeout` + `catchTag` because
the step's error channel is `unknown`, which `catchTag` cannot narrow).
No `forkDetach` needed: a Promise step keeps running on its own when the
waiting fiber times out (not inside an uninterruptible region, so the
timeout interrupts the wait directly). `StartupStepTimeoutError extends
Error` with `name = "StartupStepTimeoutError"` set in the constructor
and message `"<step> exceeded <ms> ms"` (so the desktop dialog's error
formatting shows both the class and the step name) → desktop shows it in
the existing `Startup Failed` dialog; CLI/ACP/tests paths unchanged.
Step **errors keep their identity** (v4 `runPromise` rejects with the
raw failure). Downgrading any step to best-effort is a **policy change,
out of scope** (audit of the six implementations:
extensionMetadata/telemetry/experiments are local fs, <50 ms; policy has
its own 10 s fetch timeout; workspaceService bounds its sync internally;
only `taskService.initialize` — config scan + `editConfig` + recovery
`sendMessage`s — is potentially unbounded). The three `start()`s stay
sync (`Effect.sync`), the two fire-and-forget sweeps stay outside the
effect. `stepDurationsMs` is preserved.
**Abandon-and-quit safety:** an abandoned `taskService.initialize` may
be mid-`editConfig` when the root exits. Parity requirement for PR 3:
after a rejected `initialize()`, every root runs the bounded `dispose()`
before exiting. Verified: desktop already does — `services` is assigned
before the await (`main.ts:653–656`), the catch calls `app.quit()`, and
the `before-quit` listener (`:1271–1305`, guard `if (isDisposing ||
!services) return`) races `services.dispose()` against 5 s; ACP does
(`serverConnection.ts:205–216`); **`cli/server.ts` does not**
(`:133–136` awaited at top level, `main().catch` at `:282` only logs) →
PR 3 adds a bounded `dispose()` there (≤ 10 LoC, same 5 s budget).

**D7 — streamBridge: thread the runtime context, not a runner.**
`subscriptionIterable` gains `context?: Context.Context<never>` →
`Stream.toAsyncIterableWith(context)`; `routerSubscriptions` passes the
handler's `"effect/context"`. Production behavior identical; heartbeat
sleeps on the runtime `Clock`; tests can run the 3 clock-bound waits on
`TestClock`. Honest scope: the 8 readiness polls stay.

## 3. PRs (ordered by value ÷ risk; each independently mergeable)

### PR 1 — StreamManager engine core becomes the first `AppFiberScope`
occupant

**Value:** high (the only remaining shutdown data-integrity gap; the
reason `AppFiberScope` exists). **Risk:** medium → low with D1/D2. **Net
product LoC ≈ +55** (`superviseEngine` ~25, ctor param/field ~5,
`engineFiber` field ~2, D3 guards ~12, `core.ts` wiring ~2, doc updates
in `appRuntime.ts`/`appFiberScope.ts` "occupant" text ~10).

Files: `src/node/services/streamManager.ts`,
`src/node/services/di/layers/core.ts`,
`src/node/services/di/appRuntime.ts` + `appFiberScope.ts` (docs), tests
below.

Pre-work (before writing product code; each yields a note in the PR
body):

1. Confirm `processStreamWithCleanup` never rejects (try/catch/finally
shape `:3331–4089`); else the supervisor must fold rejections (it
already `catchDefect`s).
2. Confirm `Effect.promise` interruption + `onInterrupt` await ordering
under `Scope.close` in a 20-line probe test (pattern of
`appFiberScope.test.ts:27–47`).
3. Enumerate abort observers that run _after_ the finalizer resolves
(AIService `stream-abort` listener → `commitPartial`; agentSession
completion continuations) and confirm the durable order (`writePartial`
→ commit → `deletePartial`) makes a mid-flight `process.exit`
recoverable on next load (it is: partial survives until commit
completes).
4. Measure: `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }` with a live stream
in the sandbox (D4).
5. Pin (same probe test): a fiber forked with `startImmediately: true`
into an already-closed scope still runs its `onInterrupt` finalizer
(reviewer-verified in rc.112 internals; the test guards RC bumps).

Acceptance (behavioral tests only):

- `streamManager.test.ts` (new cases; existing cases untouched): with
`engineScope = Scope.makeUnsafe("parallel")` and a fake
`createStreamResult` whose `fullStream` yields one `text-delta` then
blocks until its `AbortSignal` fires — `closeScopeBounded(engineScope)`
resolves; `writePartial` was called with the streamed text; exactly one
`stream-abort` (`abortReason: "system"`) and zero `stream-end`;
`completion` settles `{status:"aborted"}`; `workspaceStreams` is empty.
- Wedged provider (fullStream never yields, ignores abort):
`closeScopeBounded` resolves within the bound, never rejects, warns once
(assert the returned promise resolves and no throw; do **not** assert
log text).
- No-scope construction: identical event sequence to today (guards
existing suites; no new assertions needed beyond the unchanged suites
passing).
- D3(a): cancel issued after the loop exits but before `COMPLETED` →
history has exactly one final message, `partial.json` absent, event
order `stream-end` only.
- D3(b): `stopStream` + `closeScopeBounded` racing on one stream →
exactly one `stream-abort`, one settle.
- Fiber residue: after 50 completed streams,
`closeScopeBounded(engineScope)` emits zero `stream-abort` and completes
in the same tick class as an empty scope (assert no aborts and
`workspaceStreams.size === 0`).
- `streamManager.chaos.test.ts` — existing cases byte-identical; **one
new fuzz variant** constructs with an engine scope and closes it at a
random iteration: every stream settles **exactly once** (count terminal
events per `messageId` ≤ 1, all `completion` promises settle).
- `serviceContainer.test.ts`: "dispose() aborts and awaits an in-flight
stream before `desktopBridgeServer.stop()`" (extend the ordering harness
at `:295–323`); `coreServicesRoot.test.ts`: `xum run` cleanup list does
the same via `appFiberScope.close`.

Gate suites: `streamManager.test.ts`, `streamManager.chaos.test.ts`,
`streamManager.modelOnlyNotifications.test.ts`, `aiService.test.ts`,
`agentSession.disposeRace.test.ts`,
`agentSession.sinceReplayContract.test.ts`, `serviceContainer.test.ts`,
`coreServicesRoot.test.ts`, `di/*.test.ts`, `taskService.test.ts`,
`workspaceService.test.ts`, `turnRequestBuilder.test.ts`; `make
static-check`.

House pre-review audits: interruption posture (supervisor's only
suspension is the promise; finalizer uninterruptible end-to-end incl.
`cancelStreamSafely` → `cleanupAbortedStream`); no defect escapes
(`catchDefect` on the supervisor; `Effect.promise` thunks `async`);
spy-seam check (`processStreamWithCleanup`, `createStreamResult`,
`createStreamAtomically`, `startStream` signatures unchanged;
constructor arity unchanged, trailing optional); sync-start
(`processingPromise` assigned before fork; `runSync(forkIn)` completes
synchronously); no constructor side-effects added; zero-suspension check
on D3(b) latch (`cancelPromise` checked-and-assigned synchronously at
`cancelStreamSafely` entry, before the first `await` at `:1789`; review
the diff for any inserted `await`/lookup ahead of the assignment).

Rollback: revert the `core.ts` wiring line → `engineScope` undefined →
today's behavior; D3 guards can stay (independent bug fixes).

### PR 2 — Turn-settlement invariant + false-settle regression harness
(gated on #3949)

**Value:** high (7× production race). **Risk:** low. **Net product LoC ≈
+40** (`WorkspaceTurnSettlementCause` union + `cause` on
`settleWorkspaceTurn` params + assert ~10; 11 call sites × 1–3 lines).

Relationship to open PRs — explicit:

- **#3949 is the fix and a hard prerequisite.** PR 2 rebases on it,
changes none of its logic
(`interruptWorkspaceTurnFromUncorrelatedStreamEnd`,
`isWorkspaceTurnAnchorForRecord`, `isManualChildWorkspaceInput`), and
adds the invariant + proof on top. If #3949 has not merged when PRs 1/3
are done: **do not fork a competing fix**; report to the coordinator,
offer the regression test file to #3949's author as a review artifact,
and hold PR 2 (it is not on any other PR's critical path).
- **#3915 is a soft prerequisite.** Its diff (`:3800–4064` incl.
`settleStaleWorkspaceTurn`, a `settleWorkspaceTurn` caller) overlaps PR
2's one-line-per-caller change. Prefer landing after it; if PR 2 must go
first, the conflict is a one-line `cause:` addition per caller. PR 2
never edits liveness/reservation code.
- Wave 4 does not otherwise touch `workspaceTurnManager.ts`.

Design: `type WorkspaceTurnSettlementCause` enumerated from the 11
callers (audited at `main` @ `b87f62729`): `:1373` creation validation
failure; `:1476` pre-stream interrupt during launch; `:1500`/`:1518`
pre-stream send failure; `:3834`/`:3863` stale-liveness recovery /
restart timeout (`settleStaleWorkspaceTurn` — #3915's region); `:4301`
**uncorrelated-stream-end manual supersession** (the only uncorrelated
settle in the codebase; the path #3949 rewrites); `:4529` correlated
terminal; `:4571` stream-abort; `:4675` deferred stream error; `:4736`
terminal stream error. `settleWorkspaceTurn` asserts `params.cause` is a
member and, for `manual-supersession`, that the superseding input's
`messageId` is supplied — turning D5 into an exhaustive `Record<Cause,
…>` check rather than prose, so a future "settle on uncorrelated end"
cannot be added without naming (and justifying) a cause.

Acceptance:

- New `workspaceTurnManager.uncorrelatedStreamEnd.test.ts` (real
`WorkspaceTurnManager` + `TaskHandleStore` + fake `aiService` emitter,
following the existing suite's harness): (1) create turn → correlated
`stream-start` → **synthetic wake stream** on the same child ends
uncorrelated after the anchor → handle stays `running`, waiter
unresolved, no disposable cleanup, no terminal attention → correlated
`stream-end` → `completed`. (2) same with `finishReason:"tool-calls"`
continuation in between. (3) manual child input between anchor and end →
`interrupted` with `cause: manual-supersession`. (4) explicit
`interruptWorkspaceTurn` → `interrupted`, `cause: explicit-interrupt`.
Case (1) is the **scripted reproduction**: it must **fail on the
pre-#3949 merge-base** (run the file from a sibling worktree at `git
merge-base origin/main <#3949 head>`; record the failing assertion in
the PR body) and pass after.
- Existing 113 `workspaceTurnManager.test.ts` cases and
`taskService.test.ts` turn cases unchanged.

Gate suites: `workspaceTurnManager.test.ts`, `taskService.test.ts`,
`taskHandleStore.test.ts`, `tools/task*.test.ts`; `make static-check`.

Audits: spy-seam (`getWorkspaceTurn`, `listAllWorkspaceTurns`,
`enqueueTerminalAttention`, `deliverPersistentChildWorkspaceTurnResult`
untouched); settlement lock held across the assert; no new suspension
inside `withLock`.

Rollback: revert; the test file stays valid against #3949 alone (drop
the `cause` assertions).

### PR 3 — `ServiceContainer.initialize()` as a runtime-run startup
effect with per-step timeouts

**Value:** medium (a hung `taskService.initialize()` currently pins the
splash screen forever; deterministic TestClock tests of startup).
**Risk:** low–medium. **Net product LoC ≈ +80** (step table ~20,
timed-step helper ~15, `StartupStepTimeoutError` ~8, constant ~3, facade
~10, root dispose-on-failure parity ≤ 10, doc update ~10).

Files: `serviceContainer.ts`, `src/constants/terminationTimeouts.ts`
(keep with the termination constants so the budget doc stays in one
place), `cli/server.ts` (dispose in the startup catch if missing),
`di/appRuntime.ts` doc ("Deliberately not done" → remove the
initialize() line; add startup contract).

Design (D6): `initialize(): Promise<void>` →
`this.runtime.managed.runPromise(this.startupEffect())`. `startupEffect
= Effect.gen` over an ordered `readonly steps: ReadonlyArray<{ name,
run: () => Promise<void> }>` (assert names unique); each step:
`recordStep` timing kept, `Effect.tryPromise({ try: async () => run(),
catch: identity }).pipe(Effect.timeoutOrElse({ duration:
STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS, orElse: () => Effect.fail(new
StartupStepTimeoutError(name, STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS)) }))`. Then
`Effect.sync` for the three `start()`s; the sweeps remain after
`runPromise`. Constant `STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS` — pre-work measures
`[startup] <step> { ms }` across sandbox cold starts and picks ≥ 10× the
slowest observed (propose 60 s; must be generous — a false timeout turns
a slow-but-fine start into a crash). Roots dispose after a rejected
`initialize()` (D6 abandon-and-quit safety).

Acceptance (all in `serviceContainer.test.ts`, TestClock via the
existing `AppLive` spy at `:355–395`):

- A step that never resolves → `initialize()` rejects with
`StartupStepTimeoutError` naming the step after exactly
`TestClock.adjust(STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS)`; later steps did not run.
- A rejecting step → `initialize()` rejects with **the same error
object** (identity), later steps did not run (parity with today).
- Happy path → `stepDurationsMs` has all six keys; `start()`s called
once each; second `initialize()` call behavior unchanged from today
(verify whether re-entry is guarded today; preserve).
- `tests/ipc` harness and ACP entry still pass unchanged.

Gate suites: `serviceContainer.test.ts`, `coreServicesRoot.test.ts`,
`di/*.test.ts`, `src/node/acp/*.test.ts`, `TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest
tests/ipc` (smoke subset); `make static-check`.

Audits: I1 untouched (no layer body changes); I2 (only the composition
root touches the runtime); error identity preserved (no wrapping);
abandoned-step safety — every root runs bounded `dispose()` after a
rejected `initialize()` (D6; `cli/server.ts` gains it in this PR); no
sweep moved into the effect; the six-step order and `[startup] <step>`
names unchanged.

Rollback: revert; constant removal.

### PR 4 (optional — cut if budget is exhausted) — `streamBridge` on the
runtime context

**Value:** low (closes the last documented "global runtime" exception;
enables TestClock for the heartbeat). **Risk:** low. **Net product LoC ≈
+30** (`context?` option + `toAsyncIterableWith` ~8; 19 call sites × 1
line via one shared helper in `routerSubscriptions.ts` ~3).

Acceptance: the 3 clock-bound waits (`:207, :241, :255`) run on
`TestClock`; the heartbeat test asserts N heartbeats after
`TestClock.adjust(N × interval)` with zero real time; existing
behavioral assertions unchanged; `tests/ipc` subscription tests pass. Do
not rewrite the 8 readiness polls.

Gate suites: `streamBridge.test.ts`, `routerSubscriptions*.test.ts`,
`orpc/*.test.ts`, `TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest tests/ipc`
(subscription subset); `make static-check`.

Audits: `Stream.toAsyncIterableWith` preserves double-close safety (pin
with the existing test); `Cause.Done` typing unchanged; no
`Scope`/`MemoMap`/`Scheduler` captured (pass the oRPC `effect/context`,
which the DI layer already strips per `EffectRunnerLive`); `context`
stays optional so direct callers/tests without a runtime keep today's
global-runtime path.

Rollback: revert; the optional `context` default (`Context.empty()`) is
exactly today's `toAsyncIterable`, so a partial revert of call sites is
also safe.

### Execution order and size

Net product LoC for the wave ≈ **+205** (PR 1 ≈ +55, PR 2 ≈ +40, PR 3 ≈
+80, PR 4 ≈ +30); tests ≈ +600–800. PR 1 starts immediately. PR 2 starts
the moment #3949 merges (parallel with PR 1/3 — disjoint files). PR 3
after PR 1 merges (both touch `appRuntime.ts` docs; PR 3 also touches
`serviceContainer.ts`). PR 4 last, only if PRs 1–3 landed and no
OFF-RAMP fired. Each PR: Codex dual review, `Codex Comments`
minimization, merge queue; commit WIP early (`/tmp` wipes).

## 4. STOP criterion (measurable) and OFF-RAMPs

Wave 4 is **done** — and the Effect migration line **stops** without a
new RFC — when all hold:

1. **dispose() awaits in-flight streams:** `serviceContainer.test.ts`
ordering test + `coreServicesRoot.test.ts` pass on main; a sandbox
`script -f` transcript of `xum server` receiving SIGTERM mid-stream
shows `stream-abort` → `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }` →
`[shutdown] desktopBridgeServer.stop`, and immediately after exit
`partial.json` is absent while `chat.jsonl` contains the interrupted
assistant message (baseline on `main`: `partial.json` present, message
absent until next load). `{ ms }` < 2000 in the flowing-stream case.
2. **False-settle class eliminated:** the scripted reproduction fails on
the pre-#3949 merge-base and passes on main after PR 2;
`settleWorkspaceTurn` rejects any settlement without an enumerated
cause; the coordinator's own Mux sessions show zero "superseded by an
uncorrelated workspace stream-end" in the two weeks after PR 2 (soft
signal, logged in the wave summary).
3. **Startup:** timeout and error-identity tests pass under TestClock;
`[startup]` per-step lines unchanged in the sandbox transcript; a
throwaway build with the constant set to 1 ms shows `Startup failed:
StartupStepTimeoutError: <step> exceeded 1 ms` and a clean exit.
4. **No new lifecycle flakes:** 0 failures attributable to the touched
suites across **N = 20** consecutive _completed_ `Test / Unit` runs on
`main` after the last Wave 4 merge — query `gh run list --workflow
pr.yml --branch main --limit 60 --json
databaseId,status,conclusion,event,headSha` (note: `gh run list --json`
serializes these fields in **lowercase**, e.g.
`{"status":"completed","conclusion":"success"}`, unlike
`statusCheckRollup`), keep `status === "completed"` (pending runs have
an empty `conclusion`, not null), take the newest 20, and for any run
with `conclusion !== "success"` (case-insensitive normalization
acceptable) inspect the failing job's log for the touched suite names
(job `timeout`/`cancelled` from the 15-min budget is not a flake); plus
green merge-queue runs for each PR. Any attributable flake → fix or
revert before declaring done.

**OFF-RAMP (PR 1):** fires if pre-work 1–3 shows (a) routing shutdown
through `cancelStreamSafely` cannot preserve crash-recovery semantics
without changing `cleanupAbortedStream`'s contract beyond D3, (b) the
chaos variant exposes a double-settle not closable by D3(b), or (c) the
finalizer cannot fit the 2 s bound for flowing streams. Then: stop PR 1,
keep `AppFiberScope` unoccupied, update `appRuntime.ts` "Deliberately
not done" with the concrete blocker and the measured evidence, land D3
alone as a bug-fix PR. PRs 2–4 are independent and proceed.
**OFF-RAMP (PR 3):** if error identity or the `tests/ipc`/ACP paths
cannot be preserved, keep `initialize()` as is and record why.
**OFF-RAMP (PR 2):** #3949 not merged → hold (see PR 2).

## 5. Risk register

| Risk | Likelihood | Mitigation |
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| --------------------------------------------- |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Crash-recovery regression: double commit / partial resurrection when
shutdown-abort races completion | medium (window widens with dispose())
| D3(a) guard + test; `commitPartial`'s `historySequence`
update-or-append is idempotent (`historyService.ts:2036–2041`) |
| Provider abort emits an `error` chunk → error path instead of abort
path | low | identical to today's user-stop path (parity); chaos variant
covers hostile streams |
| Wedged provider pins the 2 s bound → warning every shutdown | low |
`boundedTeardown` already bounds; transcript measures; no budget change
possible (5 s outer) |
| AIService `stream-abort` listener (`commitPartial`) still in flight
when `process.exit` runs | low | durable order writePartial → commit →
deletePartial; next-load recovery; PR 1 transcript checks `partial.json`
is already gone when `cli/server.ts` logs its final cleanup line before
`process.exit(0)` (`:252–266`) |
| Chaos-test seams (`createStreamResult`, `tokenTracker`) | none if
scope-less construction stays default | new variant added, old cases
untouched |
| Collision with #3915/#3949 | medium | PR 2 gated; no edits to their
regions; one-line `cause:` conflicts only |
| RC churn (rc.113+ renames
`forkIn`/`onInterrupt`/`toAsyncIterableWith`) | low | all Effect imports
already in `streamManager.ts`/`streamBridge.ts`; pins fixed; GA upgrade
is a separate lockstep PR (§6) |
| Startup false timeout on slow hosts | medium if constant too small |
measure first; ≥ 10× slowest observed; generous default (60 s) |
| Sync-start assumptions in tests that
`Reflect.set(processStreamWithCleanup)` | low | promise assigned before
fork; forkIn `runSync` synchronous |
| `shutdown()` (desktop second `before-quit` listener) still does not
await streams | accepted | contract says `shutdown()` never touches the
runtime; desktop's dispose race is the covered path |
| Streams starting during shutdown | covered | `forkIn` on closed scope
interrupts immediately → `system` abort (`startImmediately` semantics
verified in rc.112; pinned by test) |
| `system` abort triggers an in-session RetryManager retry during
shutdown | **unreachable** (verified) | `"aborted"` ∈
`NON_RETRYABLE_STREAM_ERRORS` → `retryManager.ts:99–104` abandons; no
fiber scheduled |
| PR 3: abandoned `taskService.initialize` mid-`editConfig` when the
root exits after a timeout | low | desktop/ACP already dispose on
startup failure; PR 3 adds the missing `cli/server.ts` dispose; config
writes are lock/journal-protected |
| `startImmediately`/`onInterrupt` semantics differ in a later RC | low
| pinned by the probe test in `appFiberScope.test.ts` style; RC bumps
are a separate lockstep PR |

## 6. Standing item — effect v4 GA + `@orpc/experimental-effect`
lockstep (analysis only)

v4 is **not GA** (rc.112 is current; v3 `3.x` remains the stable line).
No PR this wave. When GA ships: one lockstep PR bumping `effect` + all
`@orpc/*` (`1.14.11` today; check the GA-compatible
`@orpc/experimental-effect`), canary gates = `di/*.test.ts`,
`streamBridge.test.ts`, `streamManager.test.ts`,
`serviceContainer.test.ts`, `TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest tests/ipc`,
`make static-check`. The `Context → ServiceMap` rename risk is
firewalled: `Context.Service` tags, `Context.omit/get`, `Layer`,
`ManagedRuntime`, `TestClock` live only under `di/` +
`orpc/effectContext.ts`; `streamManager.ts`/`streamBridge.ts` use
`Effect`/`Scope`/`Fiber`/`Exit`/`Stream`/`Queue`/`Cause` only. PR 4 adds
one `Context.Context<never>` type reference to `streamBridge.ts` — keep
it as a type-only import so a rename is a one-line fix.

## 7. Dogfooding (per PR; evidence attached to the PR with `gh …
--attach`)

Common setup: `make dev-server-sandbox
DEV_SERVER_SANDBOX_ARGS="--clean-projects"` (or `xum server` on a temp
`XUM_ROOT`) with `XUM_LOG_LEVEL=debug`, run under `script -f
~/wave4-scratch/<pr>-<scenario>.log`; scratch under
`$HOME/wave4-scratch/` (never `/tmp`). Drive the UI with `agent-browser`
(`open` → `snapshot -i` → click the explicit "Send message" ref;
re-snapshot after typing). Screenshots are primary evidence; record WebM
and finalize with `ffmpeg -c copy`.

- **PR 1:** (1) start a long stream (prompt that streams ~30 s), wait
3–5 s, `kill -TERM <server pid>`; transcript must show the order in STOP
#1 and `[shutdown] AppFiberScope closed { ms }`; (2) `ls
<XUM_ROOT>/sessions/<ws>/partial.json` (absent) + `tail -n 1 chat.jsonl`
(interrupted assistant message); (3) restart, open the workspace in
agent-browser, screenshot the persisted interrupted message; (4) same
scenario on `main` for the baseline diff; (5) `xum run` Ctrl-C
mid-stream transcript (CLI root parity); (6) quality gate between
phases: gate suites green before the sandbox run, sandbox evidence
before requesting review.
- **PR 2:** primary evidence is the regression file run on both the
merge-base worktree (failing output) and the branch (passing).
Secondary: sandbox parent workspace delegates via `task` kind=workspace
to a child that arms a background bash monitor firing within ~10 s and
keeps working ~60 s; screenshot the parent's task result (baseline
`main`: `interrupted … uncorrelated workspace stream-end`; after:
`completed`) and the child's log lines.
- **PR 3:** `xum server` cold start transcript with `[startup] <step> {
ms }` for the six steps (parity); throwaway worktree build with
`STARTUP_STEP_TIMEOUT_MS = 1` → transcript of `Startup failed:
StartupStepTimeoutError …` and exit code (do not ship); desktop dialog
cannot be shown headless — cite the unchanged
`desktop/main.ts:1249–1265` catch.
- **PR 4:** agent-browser session left idle 60 s with the connection
indicator visible (heartbeats keep it green) + screenshot;
`streamBridge.test.ts` on TestClock.

## PR 2 implementation addendum — Sep 5, after #3949 merged

This addendum supersedes stale factual assumptions in D5 / PR 2, not
their minimal-change goal. Verified base: #3949 merged as
`2f99c6a5b027cd09c7574f7af3eeba1cb804ec6a`; its pre-merge main parent is
`3937abd4e96ab7475f5f702bd40118016f83e5c4`. #3915 remains open and is
only a soft prerequisite. Proceed with PR 2 without changing its
liveness algorithm.

- **Preserve the actual #3949 fallback.** It still conservatively
interrupts when history cannot be read or the stream-end/turn anchor
cannot be found. Such a transition must have a distinct
`uncorrelated-conservative-fallback` cause with a reason (history read
failed, missing stream end, or missing turn anchor), never a fabricated
manual-input ID. Proven `manual-supersession` requires the actual
superseding input's message ID. Change only evidence plumbing through
the existing helper; preserve read count, classification, stale-event
behavior and outcomes.
- **There are two settlement paths.** `settleWorkspaceTurn` is the
central helper, but explicit `interruptWorkspaceTurn` also persists
terminal state inside its own lock while establishing stop epoch/latch
and mirror ordering. Use one small synchronous cause validator inside
both existing lock boundaries. Do not route explicit interrupt through
the central helper, nest locks, move stop-latch work, or add async work.
Enumerate actual current call sites (including newer
creation/admission/recovery failures), not the old count of 11.
- **Internal contract only.** Causes and their evidence are internal
parameters/assertions, not persisted task-handle fields, schemas, wire
payloads or migrations. Use exhaustive typing plus runtime validation
for missing/invalid causes; add behavioral negative coverage. Keep real
HistoryService/TaskHandleStore and established test/spy seams.
- **Honest invariant:** an uncorrelated synthetic end is never
authoritative completion. With readable, anchored history and no proven
manual supersession it remains nonterminal; explicit conservative
fallback may interrupt when evidence cannot be established. Keep
failure/abort/recovery and explicit-stop semantics unchanged. A concrete
missing final-continuation correlation belongs at its dispatch source,
not in arbitrary wake-output completion (the fresh #3949 review examined
this and accepted the production correlation trace).
- **Reproduction base:** the old `merge-base origin/main <PR head>`
recipe is invalid after the prerequisite's additive main sync. Use the
exact pre-#3949 main parent above. Run the behavior-only reproduction
there (strip only PR2-specific cause assertions if needed); it must
compile and fail on the intended premature terminal settlement. The
complete harness must pass on the PR2 branch. Add fallback-reason tests
and preserve explicit-interrupt side effects/order.
- **Dogfooding:** retain §7 PR2's scripted regression evidence plus a
freshly built isolated parent/child monitor-wake scenario, with
screenshots/video. Do not assume this coordinator's currently running
backend has upgraded just because main merged. Report the two-week
live-session observation as a soft signal with version/exposure caveats,
not as proof supplied by unit tests.

Acceptance remains regression proof + explicit, validated settlement
causes without lifecycle-policy changes. Record this reconciliation in
the PR description. Advisor reviewed this approach on Sep 5 and
recommended preserving the explicit-interrupt path and conservative
fallback as separate named causes rather than forcing the old plan's
inaccurate single-chokepoint claim.

## 8. Non-goals (restated; out of this wave)

Typed-error propagation sweep / removing the ~113 facades; converting
services to `yield*`-based Effect services; PubSub for the internal
EventEmitter bus; Schema at persistence boundaries; Effect
observability; converting sync read paths, AI-SDK per-request callbacks,
cross-process lock interiors, or deterministic try-lock funnels;
replacing `AbortController` as the SDK cancellation transport;
converting the `fullStream` loop to `Stream`; fiberizing turn-handle
waiters; downgrading startup steps to best-effort; changing outer quit
budgets; supervising the pre-registration stream-start window;
`shutdown()` semantics; the effect GA bump (standing analysis only).
