If persistRecord or eventLog.append throws after renameSync commits creating, resumeAgent does not set recordReopened, so its failure handler skips the error transition. The agent is left stuck in creating with stale pre-resume surface metadata; make the reopen operation recover or mark the record as failed after the state-file commit.

🟡 Medium src/server.ts:10646
When engine.resumeAgent throws (e.g. launch command delivery fails after the surface is created and agent record rebound), the resume_agent_id branch falls through to the outer catch without having called creation.record(...) or restoreFocusAfterRender(...). This means the error response omits the retained surface identity (so the caller cannot discover or clean up the stranded surface), and focus remains on the failed surface instead of being restored to the origin.
The normal spawnAgent path avoids this by using the on_surface_created callback to record identity as soon as the surface exists and by explicitly restoring focus in every catch path. The resume branch should do the same: wrap the engine.resumeAgent call so that on failure, (1) creation.record is called with identity from the AgentLaunchError and (2) restoreFocusAfterRender runs before re-throwing.

When a completed agent has a captured transcript whose last state is still done, spreading the old record here preserves that transcript and all completion metadata. On the first sweep after the resumed CLI becomes ready, maybeMarkTaskDone() immediately accepts the settled pre-resume transcript through hasGroundTruthDone() and transitions the agent straight back to done—and may auto-archive its newly created surface—before it can receive more work. Record a resume baseline or otherwise suppress pre-resume completion evidence until the transcript advances.

In `@src/agent-engine.ts`:
- Around line 6117-6145: Update the resume flow around reopenForResume and
resumeAgent so stale completion evidence from the preserved
cli_session_id/cli_session_path cannot transition the resumed booting agent to
done; clear stale completion markers and gate maybeMarkTaskDone until fresh
readiness or activity evidence from the resumed CLI is observed. Preserve normal
completion handling after that fresh evidence, and add a regression test that
performs a lifecycle sweep after resumeAgent.
In `@src/index.ts`:
- Around line 6-7: Update the public tool registration description near the MCP
tool declarations to qualify “never registered on the MCP surface” as applying
to the default production surface, while explicitly allowing the supported
test-only compatibility registration path. Keep tool definitions and
descriptions stable.
In `@src/server.ts`:
- Around line 10599-10681: Wrap the resume branch after focusTargetBeforeSplit
in failure-safe handling so any exception from engine.resumeAgent or subsequent
resume processing restores focus via restoreFocusAfterRender before propagating
to the existing error handler. Preserve the current success-path capture and
restoration behavior, and ensure the acquired focus lease is restored exactly
once on failure.
In `@src/spawn-response.ts`:
- Around line 22-26: Update the boot-prompt response flow so boot_prompt_receipt
contains only delivery-receipt fields, excluding prompt_text, bytes, and
prompt_warning before it reaches the lean payload; preserve those prompt details
only in the verbose response. Locate the producer assigning the
deliverBootPrompt result to boot_prompt_receipt and project the delivery keys
there, while keeping ESSENTIAL_FIELDS unchanged.
In `@src/state-manager.ts`:
- Around line 398-400: Make the reopen persistence flow in reopenForResume
atomic or recoverable across state.json and surfaceSessionIndex.persistRecord:
if index persistence fails after the file rename, retain enough recovery
information to reconcile both stores and avoid leaving the record stuck in
creating. Update resumeAgent to detect a committed reopen when recordReopened is
false and persist the appropriate terminal recovery state before returning
failure, preserving the old surface binding until recovery completes.
In `@tests/default-palette.test.ts`:
- Around line 10-20: Remove the duplicated RATIFIED_TOOL_SURFACE list and import
PUBLIC_TOOL_NAMES from ../src/server.js. Update each assertion that uses the
local list to compare sorted values against PUBLIC_TOOL_NAMES, matching the
approach in thin-core-tools.test.ts.

Learning: In cmuxlayer's `src/agent-engine.ts`, `runCloseForensicsBestEffort` treats both `tab_close` and `workspace_teardown` close-forensics event origins as terminal operator intent for a matching managed surface, persisting that intent before absence reconciliation can treat it as a recoverable crash (as of commit cd1ac43). Previously only `tab_close` was treated this way. Genuine PTY-death recovery (respawn with attempt limits) is a separate code path and remains unaffected by this origin allowlist.

Learning: In tests/quality-tracking.test.ts for the cmuxlayer project, ensure that at or above 80% context quality degradation, behavior depends on depth: depth-0 agents receive a /compact command; depth > 0 agents are killed and logged (kill + log). Respawn of non-root agents is out of scope for v1. Treat the design doc quality tracking section as the authoritative source for this behavior, and align test expectations accordingly.

Timestamp: 2026-07-04T23:37:37.595Z
Learning: In tests/agent-engine.test.ts for the cmuxlayer project, the general guideline of using 1-second timeouts for `waitFor` in agent-engine tests does not apply to positive/ready-resolution test cases that depend on consecutive-match accumulation across multiple poll/sweep ticks (e.g., "codex-pending-ready", "gemini-identity-screen-ready"). In `AgentEngine.waitFor`, the elapsed time is checked against timeoutMs before the next evidence poll, so a 1s budget can cause a false timeout for these multi-poll cases. These specific tests intentionally use longer timeouts (e.g., 1500ms/2500ms) and this is verified/expected behavior, not a violation to flag.

Learning: In cmuxlayer's `src/server.ts` `close_surface` tool handler, the UUID-less legacy-record fallback match (`record.surface_id === args.surface` for records without `surface_uuid`) must only be applied when `observedSurfaceUuid === undefined` (i.e., the live topology genuinely cannot resolve a UUID for the closed ref). This mirrors the invariant in `resolveAgentIoRoute` (`src/agent-engine.ts`), which only permits UUID-less ref-based terminal I/O when a complete fresh topology proves zero UUID coverage. Without this guard, a recycled mutable ref could be mistakenly attributed to a stale legacy record even when a live UUID is observed for that ref (belonging to a different, current owner).

Learning: In the cmuxlayer project (src/agent-registry.ts), orphan reparenting is NOT part of V1. When a parent agent crashes, children intentionally keep their parent_agent_id pointing to the dead parent (orphan survival). Reparenting children to root (setting parent_agent_id to null) is a V2 design feature that will be introduced in a dedicated future PR with its own tests. Do not flag missing reparenting logic in agent-registry.ts until the V2 reparenting PR lands.

Learning: In the cmuxlayer project, each test file (e.g., tests/sidebar-sync.test.ts, tests/quality-tracking.test.ts, tests/agent-hierarchy.test.ts) is intentionally self-contained. All mock setup helpers (makeMockClient, makeSurface, makeRecord) are defined locally within each test file rather than in shared fixtures. This is a deliberate design choice so that when a test fails, all context is in one file. Shared fixtures are avoided to prevent coupling between test suites. Minor drift in mock fields across files (e.g., listStatus present in one file but not another) is acceptable — it only matters when a test explicitly calls that method. Do not flag duplicated test helpers or suggest extracting them into shared fixture modules.

Learning: In the cmuxlayer project (src/server.ts / spawn lifecycle), readiness timeouts during agent launch are non-terminal for lifecycle state. A `BootPromptTimeoutError` should NOT transition the agent to `error` — the agent stays in `booting` with no `error` set. A timeout can mean the CLI chrome changed or the PTY is still healthy but not yet matched; transitioning to error ("poisoning the registry") would block `send_to_agent` and inbox wake. Only actual boot-prompt delivery failures (non-timeout) are terminal, because partial delivery can leave the receiver in an unreliable state.

Learning: In the cmuxlayer project (`src/agent-engine.ts`), the `CmuxClient` methods `send()` and `sendKey()` are backed by a cmux socket that processes commands in order. Awaiting them sequentially guarantees the prior command is fully delivered before the next is sent — no additional delay or confirmation is needed between consecutive `send()`/`sendKey()` calls.

Learning: In the cmuxlayer project (src/cmux-socket-client.ts, createCmuxClient), socket-path re-resolution and transport retry are deliberately limited to transport connection failures only (`connection_error` / `connection_closed`). Protocol errors, `method_not_found`, auth/protocol mismatch, and ordinary request failures must NOT trigger silent retry against another socket candidate during an active operation, as doing so could hide real daemon/API incompatibilities. Boot-time selection is broader: every candidate is probed with a full connect + `system.ping` verification; only after all candidates fail does the code fall back to CLI. This design keeps recovery focused on stale/dead socket paths without masking non-transport bugs.

Learning: In cmuxlayer layout policy (src/layout-policy.ts or equivalent), terminal surface titles with repoGolem launcher labels are an intentional role fallback when the lifecycle registry or role overrides do not classify a surface. Browser surfaces must NOT be classified via launcher-label title matching. For B1 (role=orchestrator), the correct placement is to tab into the leftmost non-worker lead pane, even when stale IC records or non-role tabs are present there. The layout invariant is: leads as tabs in the left column, workers as tabs in the right column.

Learning: In `src/server.ts`, `assertDeliveryTargetIsSafe` deliberately calls `isPickerOrMenuScreen(snapshot.text, cli)` without threading a resolved `cli` hint through the shared `deliverInputChunks` delivery-safety boundary. This is intentional: the delivery safety gate must fail closed across every recognized picker/menu shape regardless of CLI, because registry/launcher CLI metadata can be absent or stale (especially on recycled surfaces), and scoping the gate by CLI could let a live menu from a different CLI slip through and consume text. The optional `cli` parameter remains useful for targeted parser callers that need CLI-scoped detection (e.g., Codex-specific update-menu detection), but the delivery-safety path itself stays CLI-agnostic by design.

Require fresh completion evidence after resumption.
reopenForResume preserves cli_session_id and cli_session_path. The next lifecycle sweep can read the same completed transcript through maybeMarkTaskDone. A ready prompt does not contradict transcript completion evidence. The resumed booting agent can therefore transition back to done before it accepts new work.
Add a resume epoch or equivalent gate. Ignore transcript completion evidence that predates the resume until the resumed CLI produces fresh readiness or activity evidence. Clear stale completion markers during the reopen flow. Add a regression test that runs a lifecycle sweep after resumeAgent.

Qualify the claim for test-only compatibility registration.
Test mode registers internal compatibility handlers for in-process probes. The phrase “never registered on the MCP surface” conflicts with that supported path. State that this applies to the default production surface, or document the test-only exception.

Restore focus when engine.resumeAgent fails.
The resume branch acquires a focus lease with focusTargetBeforeSplit before it calls engine.resumeAgent. If resumeAgent or the following calls throw, control leaves through the outer catch at the end of the handler, which returns err(caught) without calling restoreFocusAfterRender. Focus then stays on the resume workspace. The type === "agent" spawn path and new_worktree_split both restore focus on failure.

boot_prompt_receipt carries the full prompt text into the lean response.
deliverBootPrompt returns prompt_text (the entire boot prompt) and bytes alongside the receipt fields, and src/server.ts assigns that whole object to boot_prompt_receipt. Adding boot_prompt_receipt to ESSENTIAL_FIELDS therefore re-injects the complete prompt into the non-verbose payload, which defeats the lean-response token goal and echoes prompt content back to the caller. Project the receipt to the delivery fields before it enters the lean payload.
🛠️ Suggested direction
Keep boot_prompt_receipt lean at the producer, for example by spreading only the delivery-receipt keys (delivered, delivery, delivery_state, terminal, typed, submit_attempted, submit_verified, retry_count, delivery_id) into boot_prompt_receipt, and leave prompt_text/prompt_warning on the verbose response only.

Keep the resumed record and session index recoverable after a persistence failure.
Line 399 commits state.json before line 400 persists the session index. If persistRecord fails, reopenForResume throws after the durable record changed to creating. resumeAgent then cleans the new surface because recordReopened is still false. The old surface binding remains in the durable record. A later reconstitution can retain a stuck creating agent.
Use a recoverable transaction or journal for the record and index. Alternatively, detect the committed reopen state in resumeAgent and persist a terminal recovery state before returning the failure.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When scope="agent" targets an agent already in done or error, this delegates to stop_agent, whose terminal-state fast path returns without closing the surface; with force:true it instead evicts the registry record while still leaving the pane open. Thus the new ID-based close path can report success while doing nothing—or orphan the pane—forcing callers to rediscover and close the raw surface manually. Handle terminal records by closing their bound surface before removing the record.

High Risk
Breaking MCP contract for clients using retired tools or assuming delivered=true for typed input; delivery receipt semantics changed across send paths and orchestration entry points.
Overview
Cuts the MCP server to nine ratified public tools (
spawn_agent,send_to,read_screen,list_agents,wait_for,control_health,close_surface,update_surface,list_surfaces), each registered with a Zod output schema. Legacy tools and deprecation shims are dropped from production registration; internal handlers remain test-only viaexposeInternalToolsForTests.Unifies delivery by renaming the core path to
executeDeliveryEngineand funneling text, command, key, boot-prompt, and lifecycle sends throughbuildPublicDeliveryReceipt.deliveredis now evidence-backed (verified submit / queued / failed), so typed-only sends reportdelivered: falseand omitdeliveryuntil there is proof.Expands survivors instead of adding tools:
spawn_agentgainsresume_agent_id(engineresumeAgent+reopenForResume), terminaltitle, andcwd_receipt;close_surfaceaddsscope(surface/agent/workspace); newupdate_surfaceadapts move/rename;list_agents/wait_foraddmineand related filters; spawn responses exposeboot_prompt_receipt.UX polish: delivery status text treats typed-but-not-submitted separately when
submit_attemptedis set; inbox nudges require an evidence-backed delivery state.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit bd630a1. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
