Summary

  • persist screen-authoritative blocked_on_prompt state before notification policy or inbox delivery, and expose it in summary rows plus list_agents(blocked_on_prompt: true)
  • replace the silent missing-ancestor exit with counted/logged same-workspace fleet fallback, best-effort blocked-parent routing, and retryable dispatch-failure handling through the existing dispatchOnce receipt shape
  • preserve prompt-blocked auto-discovered records through discovery repair/reaping, including the contradictory parent_agent_id: null + halt_escalation: true signature
  • allow forced in-process branch probes to use an isolated CMUXLAYER_STATE_DIR

Fixes #417. Related to #416.

TDD and verification

  • RED→GREEN coverage for immediate prompt persistence/clearing, parentless fallback, blocked-parent delivery, no-sink retry, dispatch failure retry, auto-record preservation, summary projection, and exact merged filtering
  • bun run pre-pr: typecheck + 63/63 harness tests
  • bun run test: 113/113 files; 2,676 passed, 1 skipped
  • push hook: contract receipts, VT regressions, and the same 2,677-test suite green
  • git diff --check and bun run build green
  • bounded local CodeRabbit review completed; its sole suggestion to trust terminal registry state/reject unreadable fallback roots was waived because Registry marks live idle agents "done" within minutes of spawn — silently disables submit verification and hard-fails sends #408 requires screen truth and that change would recreate the silent-delivery failure

Live branch-binary proof

One isolated run invoked this branch's dist/index.js with CMUXLAYER_FORCE_INPROCESS=1 and real unanswered Codex permission prompts:

  • prompt child + healthy parent: configured parent received the existing halt inbox receipt and the child remained registry-visible
  • prompt child + parent_agent_id: null: fallback sink persisted, halt_missing_ancestor_count incremented, and the record remained visible
  • prompt child + prompt-blocked parent: child surfaced through a healthy fallback; the blocked parent also surfaced independently
  • healthy parent/control: blocked_on_prompt: false and zero halt notifications
  • list_agents(blocked_on_prompt: true) returned exactly the four prompt-blocked agents and excluded both healthy rows
  • every notification recipient reported inbox_monitor_not_alive, proving registry visibility does not depend on a live inbox monitor
  • the two-column scratch workspace was closed, topology confirmed it absent, and all state/inbox/script artifacts were removed by literal absolute path

Note

High Risk
Touches permission/interactive prompt classification, optional autonomous keypresses, and halt notification routing—errors could escalate wrongly, auto-dismiss approvals, or drop visibility.

Overview
Makes prompt-blocked agents first-class: the sweep persists blocked_on_prompt / blocked_on_prompt_since from screen truth, exposes them in summary rows and list_agents({ blocked_on_prompt: true }), and keeps those records through discovery repair, auto eviction, and startup purge so alerts do not disappear while overlays are up.

Autonomous Escape is off by default. Choosers still classify and block; only CMUXLAYER_EXPERIMENTAL_PROMPT_AUTO_RESOLVE=1 runs the experimental resolver. The parser now uses structural active-chooser analysis (consent pairs, attached actions, model/update option sets) with raw-screen key and resolved_prompt audit barriers; halt escalation gains fleet fallback sinks, delivery-failure retry telemetry, and agent_halt_escalation / resolved_prompt events. README documents the flag; in-process probes can set CMUXLAYER_STATE_DIR.

Note

Make agent prompt freezes observable and add experimental auto-resolution for safe choosers

  • Adds blocked_on_prompt state to AgentRecord and ObservedPublicAgent, persisted through restarts and exposed via the list_agents tool filter.
  • Rewrites screen-parser prompt detection in screen-parser.ts to classify chooser screens (model menus, Codex update menus, consent/approval prompts) via classifyPromptDisposition, replacing legacy regex-based detection.
  • Adds maybeEscalateLiveHalt logic in agent-engine.ts that defers escalation when chooser motion is observed within a 30s grace window, escalates to the nearest healthy ancestor or a fleet fallback sink, and records outcomes to the event log.
  • Adds opt-in auto-resolution (CMUXLAYER_EXPERIMENTAL_PROMPT_AUTO_RESOLVE=1) that dismisses recognized safe choosers (model menus, Codex update menus) via key send, audits the attempt, and falls back to escalation on failure.
  • Prompt-blocked agents are protected from auto-cleanup, seat repair, and terminal purge in AgentRegistry.
  • Risk: auto-resolution is off by default; when enabled, the engine sends key input to live agent terminals — only screens passing strict audit gates are eligible.

Macroscope summarized d752e78.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change makes prompt state durable. It classifies prompts, stores blocked status, filters registry and server views, routes halt escalation through ancestors or fallback sinks, records delivery outcomes, and adds tests, plans, and docs for the new flow.

Changes

Prompt observability and halt escalation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prompt classification and guarded resolution
src/screen-parser.ts, src/agent-discovery.ts, tests/screen-parser.test.ts, tests/agent-discovery.test.ts, docs/plans/2026-08-14-pr418-prompt-resolution-redirect.md, docs/plans/2026-08-14-pr418-round5-safety.md, docs/plans/2026-08-14-pr418-round6-chooser-safety.md, docs/plans/2026-08-15-pr418-auto-resolve-freeze.md
Prompt parsing now distinguishes permission prompts, safe menus, active work, and unknown choosers. Discovery infers a CLI name from launcher titles in limited cases. The tests and plans cover structural classification and guarded resolution.
Prompt and escalation state contracts
src/agent-types.ts, src/event-log.ts, src/state-manager.ts, src/agent-facade.ts, src/entry.ts, tests/agent-facade.test.ts, tests/state-manager.test.ts, tests/event-log.test.ts, tests/entry-watch-spec.test.ts, docs/plans/2026-08-14-prompt-freeze.md
Agent records, public projections, telemetry events, event-log methods, auto-record initialization, and runtime startup now carry prompt-blocking and halt-delivery state. CMUXLAYER_STATE_DIR is forwarded into server creation.
Ancestor and fallback halt delivery
src/agent-engine.ts, tests/agent-engine.test.ts, docs/plans/2026-08-14-prompt-freeze.md
Halt escalation now persists prompt-blocked state, selects ancestors or workspace fallbacks, records diagnostics, suppresses repeat failures per screen, retries delivery, and persists degraded force-stop failures.
Registry visibility and preservation
src/agent-registry.ts, src/server.ts, tests/agent-registry.test.ts, tests/server.test.ts
Registry filtering, merge, repair, and purge now preserve prompt-blocked records. list_agents accepts blocked_on_prompt and caches filtered results separately. Public agent projection includes the blocked state.
Production verification and implementation plans
tests/sidebar-sync.test.ts, README.md, docs/plans/2026-08-14-prompt-freeze.md, docs/plans/2026-08-14-pr418-prompt-freeze.md, docs/plans/2026-08-14-pr418-round5-safety.md, docs/plans/2026-08-14-pr418-round6-chooser-safety.md, docs/plans/2026-08-15-pr418-auto-resolve-freeze.md
Restart, safe prompt recovery, decision-prompt escalation, active-work handling, audit events, default-off behavior, and verification steps are documented and tested.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d752e

This change makes prompt freezes visible and reroutes halt escalation, but the current implementation still has concrete edge cases that can misclassify approval or consent screens, lose blocked records or state, route escalation through blocked ancestors, stall fleet sweeps, or abort on telemetry writes. Those failures can leave prompts unreported or enable unsafe behavior on the experimental auto-resolution path, so the PR is not merge-ready without fixes or explicit risk acceptance.

Possibly related PRs

  • EtanHey/cmuxlayer#326: Both PRs modify prompt-related agent state handling in shared code, notably StateManager.ensureAutoRecord and src/agent-engine.ts.
  • EtanHey/cmuxlayer#389: The PRs are related through shared changes to prompt screening and halt escalation delivery paths, including ancestor and fallback routing.
  • EtanHey/cmuxlayer#411: This PR extends earlier halt-escalation work in agent-engine.ts, AgentRecord, registry state, ancestor routing, and delivery tracking.

Poem

A rabbit taps the screen in glow,
“Blocked on prompt” now plants its show.
Ancestors wake, or fallback runs,
Logs keep count of missed-out ones.
Safe menus hop, then disappear.
The registry keeps the truth clear.

When no healthy ancestor exists, nearestLiveHaltAncestor selects the farthest fallback-quality ancestor, so escalation bypasses the nearest available parent and may notify the wrong coordinator.

The forced-in-process and daemon-failure fallback paths ignore the caller's env, so CMUXLAYER_STATE_DIR is read from process.env and the runtime can read or mutate the user's normal agent state instead of the requested isolated directory. runDaemonFirstEntry calls startInProcess({ fallbackWarnings: [...] }) without forwarding env; pass env through that fallback as well as the palette path.

P1 Badge Keep fallback alerts inside their workspace

When a parentless or missing-parent halt has no top-level sink in its own workspace but another workspace has one, this second bestSink selects the foreign agent; maybeEscalateLiveHalt then sends that unrelated agent task and session-resume details and permanently marks the notification delivered. Return an undeliverable result or use another same-workspace mechanism instead of crossing the workspace boundary.

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.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Bound the fleet sink probe; it can fan out one screen read per top-level agent per blocked agent per sweep.

fleetHaltSink calls haltSinkQuality sequentially for every top-level candidate until one is healthy. haltSinkQuality calls readAgentScreen, which resolves the I/O route through a full topology observation. maybeEscalateLiveHalt runs inside syncSidebar, once per agent per sweep.

With N mature halted agents and M top-level candidates, one sweep can issue up to N * M sequential screen reads plus the same number of topology enumerations. Each read also has no timeout, so one slow surface stalls the whole sweep.

Add a bound and a cache. Suggested changes:

  • Cache haltSinkQuality results per agent_id for the duration of one sweep.
  • Cap the number of probed candidates (for example, the first few after sorting).
  • Skip candidates in TERMINAL_STATES before probing, so dead rows cost no I/O.

Extract the filter predicate; list and listMerged now duplicate four filter fields.

list at lines 912-929 and this block apply the same four comparisons for state, repo, model, and blocked_on_prompt. The two copies must stay in sync, because both back public list_agents responses. A future filter field, or a change to the ?? false normalization, requires two edits and can silently make the merged projection disagree with the registry projection.

Extract one helper and call it from both sites.

♻️ Proposed shared predicate

Add a module-level helper:

function matchesAgentFilter(
  agent: Pick<AgentRecord, "state" | "repo" | "model" | "blocked_on_prompt">,
  filter: AgentFilter | undefined,
): boolean {
  if (!filter) return true;
  if (filter.state && agent.state !== filter.state) return false;
  if (filter.repo && agent.repo !== filter.repo) return false;
  if (filter.model && agent.model !== filter.model) return false;
  if (
    filter.blocked_on_prompt !== undefined &&
    (agent.blocked_on_prompt ?? false) !== filter.blocked_on_prompt
  ) {
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}

Then replace this block:

-    const filtered = opts?.filter
-      ? merged.filter((agent) => {
-          if (opts.filter?.state && agent.state !== opts.filter.state) {
-            return false;
-          }
-          if (opts.filter?.repo && agent.repo !== opts.filter.repo) {
-            return false;
-          }
-          if (opts.filter?.model && agent.model !== opts.filter.model) {
-            return false;
-          }
-          if (
-            opts.filter?.blocked_on_prompt !== undefined &&
-            (agent.blocked_on_prompt ?? false) !==
-              opts.filter.blocked_on_prompt
-          ) {
-            return false;
-          }
-          return true;
-        })
-      : merged;
-
-    return filtered;
+    return merged.filter((agent) => matchesAgentFilter(agent, opts?.filter));

And in list:

   list(filter?: AgentFilter): AgentRecord[] {
-    let results = [...this.agents.values()];
-    if (filter?.state) {
-      results = results.filter((a) => a.state === filter.state);
-    }
-    if (filter?.repo) {
-      results = results.filter((a) => a.repo === filter.repo);
-    }
-    if (filter?.model) {
-      results = results.filter((a) => a.model === filter.model);
-    }
-    if (filter?.blocked_on_prompt !== undefined) {
-      results = results.filter(
-        (a) => (a.blocked_on_prompt ?? false) === filter.blocked_on_prompt,
-      );
-    }
-    return results;
+    return [...this.agents.values()].filter((agent) =>
+      matchesAgentFilter(agent, filter),
+    );

Seed blocked_on_prompt from the observed control state in createRepairedRecord.

Lines 1999-2001 already compute discoveredPromptBlock from discovered.control_state. When discovery observes a prompt block on a surface that has no existing record, promptBlockedRecord is undefined, so repair proceeds and reaches this record initializer. The new record then persists blocked_on_prompt: false even though discovery just observed permission_prompt or interactive_overlay.

The consequence is a visibility gap: list_agents(blocked_on_prompt: true) omits the freshly repaired agent until the next lifecycle sweep runs persistPromptBlockedState and rewrites the record. That works against the stated objective of making prompt freezes observable.

Pass the observed value into the initializer.

🐛 Proposed fix

Change the initializer to accept the observed block:

       halt_notified_ancestor_id: null,
-      blocked_on_prompt: false,
-      blocked_on_prompt_since: null,
+      blocked_on_prompt: promptBlocked,
+      blocked_on_prompt_since: promptBlocked ? now : null,
       halt_missing_ancestor_count: 0,

Derive promptBlocked inside createRepairedRecord from the same control states:

const promptBlocked =
  discovered.control_state === "permission_prompt" ||
  discovered.control_state === "interactive_overlay";

Use an exact state-transition guard in EventLog.readAll.

AgentHaltEscalationEvent contains agent_id. The current predicate in src/event-log.ts, Lines 104-107, accepts every event with that property as a StateTransition. After appendAgentHaltEscalation() writes this event, readAll() and readForAgent() will return halt telemetry with missing transition fields.

Require the actual StateTransition fields, and add a test that readEntries() includes halt telemetry while readAll() excludes it.

Proposed guard
   readAll(): StateTransition[] {
     return this.readEntries().filter(
-      (entry): entry is StateTransition => "agent_id" in entry,
+      (entry): entry is StateTransition =>
+        "event" in entry &&
+        "from_state" in entry &&

P2 Badge Keep non-prompt frozen screens in error

When an auto-discovered screen contains a non-prompt parser error such as SQLITE_BUSY or an exit code, inferStatus also returns frozen; this mapping therefore publishes the failed agent as idle, and syncAutoRecord clears its existing error. Distinguish permission/interactive control states from other frozen errors instead of treating every frozen snapshot as healthy.

3376-3385: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Prefer a healthy fleet sink before a fallback ancestor.

A permission-prompt or interactive-overlay ancestor has "fallback" quality. Line 3381 returns that blocked ancestor without probing same-workspace fleet sinks. A child can then record a successful fallback dispatch to an agent that cannot inspect the escalation, even when a healthy fleet sink exists.

Probe for a healthy fleet sink before accepting an ancestor with "fallback" quality. Retain the fallback ancestor only when no healthy fleet sink is available. This conflicts with the stated fallback-delivery objective.

Guard every reaping path for prompt-blocked records.

The new guard protects only startup purgeAllTerminal. evictSurfaceless and purgeTerminal still remove records without checking agent.blocked_on_prompt. A periodic sweep can therefore delete a prompt-blocked record before delivery clears the flag, so list_agents(blocked_on_prompt: true) loses the durable record.

Add the same early continue to both deletion loops and cover both paths with tests.

P2 Badge Require the proceed chooser to be at the live tail

When Claude has already answered this chooser, its question and numbered options remain in the captured scrollback while working output or a ready composer appears below. This scan still returns true because it searches every line without rejecting later live UI, so parseScreen reports permission_prompt; the sweep then persists blocked_on_prompt and can dispatch a halt alert for an agent that is actively running. Restrict this recognition to an active tail or reject later working/composer evidence.

P2 Badge Do not preserve a stale record for a new prompt occupant

On UUID-less cmux observations, if a surface ref is recycled after restart and its new occupant happens to be showing a prompt, discoveredPromptBlock makes any old compatible record on that ref satisfy this predicate even when the discovered launcher/seat identifies a different agent. Repair then returns early and keeps publishing the stale agent identity while omitting the actual occupant; prompt state should protect only a record whose identity evidence matches, not every record sharing a mutable ref.

P1 Badge Bind /model provenance to the current picker

When the captured scrollback contains an earlier /model command but the live tail now shows an unrelated human chooser, this whole-buffer some check classifies that chooser as a safely resolvable model menu. The lifecycle sweep consequently sends Escape through maybeResolvePrompt, dismissing a decision that should instead be persisted and escalated; require the command provenance to belong to the current picker block.

P2 Badge Make resolved-prompt telemetry best effort

If events.jsonl cannot be appended—for example because rotation or the append fails—this call throws after Escape may already have recovered the prompt. The surrounding catch then calls appendResolvedPromptEvent again, so the same filesystem error escapes maybeResolvePrompt and aborts the entire fleet sweep instead of merely losing telemetry; catch logging failures inside this helper, as the halt-escalation helper already does.

P2 Badge Clear failed prompt signatures with lifecycle state

When a resolution attempt records an unchanged chooser signature and the pane is subsequently closed, reaped, or loses its binding, this lifecycle cleanup leaves promptResolutionFailures behind. If the same persistent agent ID resumes onto the same standard model/update chooser, maybeResolvePrompt treats the old occupant's failure as current and will never retry Escape until the screen changes, so delete this map entry alongside the newly added prompt-motion entries.

inferCliFromLauncherTitle fails for tabs that cmuxlayer itself renamed.

split(":", 1)[0] keeps only the text before the first colon, and the regex is anchored with $. src/agent-engine.ts Line 6758-6761 renames managed tabs to `${launcherName} [${surface.surface}]`, and surface.surface contains a colon. For the title cmuxlayerClaude [surface:3], the prefix becomes cmuxlayerClaude [surface, which does not end with a CLI name, so the function returns "unknown".

The prompt-blocked surfaces that this inference targets are exactly the managed ones, so the new fallback never fires for them. Match the CLI name anywhere in the title instead of only at the end of the colon prefix.

 function inferCliFromLauncherTitle(title: string): CliType | "unknown" {
-  const launcherTitle = title.trim().split(":", 1)[0] ?? "";

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Wrap the resolved-prompt append in try/catch; today one telemetry failure aborts the sweep and double-logs.

appendHaltEscalationEvent (Lines 3430-3446) guards appendAgentHaltEscalation with try/catch. appendResolvedPromptEvent has no guard. Two consequences follow:

  1. The success-path call at Line 3524 runs inside the try of maybeResolvePrompt. If the append throws, control jumps to the catch at Line 3538. That path overwrites a real recovered result with outcome: "failed", records a false promptResolutionFailures entry, and skips persistPromptBlockedState(agent, false, nowIso).
  2. The catch block then calls appendResolvedPromptEvent again at Line 3541. The same failure rethrows out of maybeResolvePrompt, out of maybeEscalateLiveHalt, and out of the syncSidebar agent loop, so the remaining agents in that sweep are not reconciled.

Make the append best-effort, like the halt-escalation append.

Reuse canObservePromptMotion in hasObservedPromptMotion.

Lines 3611-3615 repeat the four conditions of canObservePromptMotion from Lines 3584-3588. The repeat also calls isBlockingPromptChooserScreen(screenText) and hasVisibleAgentProgress(screenText, agent.cli) a second time. Each call re-normalizes the screen and re-runs the chooser and activity regex scans, once per agent per sweep.

Clear promptResolutionFailures when an agent is removed.

clearAgentLifecycleMemory now drops promptMotionObservedAtMs and promptMotionScreenSignatures, but not promptResolutionFailures. transferAgentRenameMemory (Lines 2642-2646) rekeys that map, so it is per-agent state with the same lifetime.

readAll treats any event with agent_id as a state transition. EventLog.readAll in src/event-log.ts Lines 109-113 narrows with "agent_id" in entry. The new ResolvedPromptEvent declares agent_id, so readAll and readForAgent now return resolved_prompt telemetry as StateTransition values with missing event, from_state, and to_state. A previous review raised the same predicate for AgentHaltEscalationEvent.

Add a readAll exclusion assertion to this test.

The test proves the round trip through readEntries. It does not pin the boundary that matters: resolved_prompt is not a state transition. EventLog.readAll narrows on "agent_id" in entry, and this event declares agent_id, so it is currently returned as a malformed StateTransition. One extra assertion locks the intended contract.

💚 Proposed assertion
     expect(log.readEntries()).toEqual([event]);
+    expect(log.readAll()).toEqual([]);
+    expect(log.readForAgent("prompt-worker")).toEqual([]);
   });

P2 Badge Escalate picker blocks without a selector

When a live picker renders at least two numbered options and a navigation footer but no >/ selection marker—for example, when the selected row is clipped—hasPickerNavigationBlock makes parseScreen report interactive_overlay, but analyzeActiveChooser returns null and these lines classify it as none. maybeEscalateLiveHalt consequently persists blocked_on_prompt: false and never starts the awaiting-input episode, hiding a blocked agent from list_agents(blocked_on_prompt: true); treat any remaining blocking-picker shape as an unknown chooser.

P2 Badge Keep halt telemetry out of transition reads

Whenever this method logs a halt escalation, the new AgentHaltEscalationEvent contains agent_id, so the existing readAll() predicate ("agent_id" in entry) miscasts it as a StateTransition. readAll() and readForAgent() can therefore return entries lacking event, from_state, and to_state, breaking callers that inspect transition history or its last element; filter those APIs using a transition-specific discriminator instead.

690-695: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Two separate record-creation paths default blocked_on_prompt to false instead of deriving it from discovered.control_state. Both ensureAutoRecord (new agent surfaces) and createRepairedRecord (orphan repair) hard-code blocked_on_prompt: false and blocked_on_prompt_since: null even when the DiscoveredAgent passed in already shows control_state === "permission_prompt" or "interactive_overlay". This delays list_agents(blocked_on_prompt: true) visibility for a freshly created record until a later sweep corrects it, working against the PR's stated goal of making prompt freezes immediately observable.

  • src/state-manager.ts#L690-L695: in ensureAutoRecord, derive blocked_on_prompt and blocked_on_prompt_since from discovered.control_state (permission_prompt/interactive_overlay) instead of hard-coding false/null.
  • src/agent-registry.ts#L2278-L2283: in createRepairedRecord, derive the same two fields from the discoveredPromptBlock value already computed at lines 2046-2048 in the caller, instead of hard-coding false/null.

Add test coverage for both: a brand-new record created while discovery already shows a prompt-block state (no pre-existing record for the surface).

Extract a shared matchesAgentFilter helper; list and listMerged still duplicate the filter predicate.

list (lines 924-941) and the inline filter in listMerged (lines 1193-1213) apply the same four comparisons for state, repo, model, and blocked_on_prompt. A past review already flagged this exact duplication and proposed extracting a shared predicate. The duplication is still present unchanged. Keep both projections in sync by extracting one module-level helper and calling it from both sites, as previously proposed.

Keep the fleetSidebarPublisher property.

692-802: Chooser staleness rules remain duplicated across three functions.

findActiveChooserRegion phase 1 (Lines 699-707) repeats the footer staleness test of hasPickerNavigationBlock (Lines 983-991). Phase 2 (Lines 755-761) repeats the selector plus option-block tail test of hasMenuBlock (Lines 647-653). This was raised on an earlier commit and the duplication is still present in the current code.

src/agent-discovery.ts (2)

55-61: inferCliFromLauncherTitle still returns "unknown" for cmuxlayer-managed titles.

title.trim().split(":", 1)[0] keeps only the text before the first colon, and the regex is anchored with $. src/agent-engine.ts Line 6812 renames managed tabs to `${launcherName} [${surface.surface}]`, and surface.surface contains a colon. For cmuxlayerClaude [surface:3] the prefix becomes cmuxlayerClaude [surface, which does not end with a CLI name.

The prompt-blocked surfaces that the new fallback at Lines 137-145 targets are exactly the managed ones, so the fallback never fires for them. This was raised on an earlier commit and the logic is unchanged.

3348-3393: The fleet sink probe is still unbounded.

fleetHaltSink calls haltSinkQuality for every top-level candidate until one is healthy, and haltSinkQuality performs a screen read plus a topology observation with no timeout. maybeEscalateLiveHalt runs once per agent per sweep, so one sweep can issue N * M sequential reads. Terminal-state candidates are still probed. This was raised on an earlier commit.


3453-3487: appendResolvedPromptEvent still calls appendResolvedPrompt without a guard.

appendHaltEscalationEvent (Lines 3431-3450) wraps its append in try/catch. This function does not. A throw on the success path at Line 3540 jumps to the catch at Line 3558, which overwrites a recovered result with outcome: "failed" and skips persistPromptBlockedState(agent, false, nowIso). The catch then calls appendResolvedPromptEvent again at Line 3561, so the same failure propagates out of maybeEscalateLiveHalt and aborts the remaining agents in that sweep. This was raised on an earlier commit.


3636-3642: hasObservedPromptMotion still repeats canObservePromptMotion.

Lines 3637-3640 duplicate the four conditions computed at Lines 3610-3613, including a second isBlockingPromptChooserScreen(screenText) call and a second hasVisibleAgentProgress(screenText, agent.cli) call. This was raised on an earlier commit.


4646-4650: clearAgentLifecycleMemory still leaks promptResolutionFailures.

The method now deletes promptMotionObservedAtMs and promptMotionScreenSignatures, but not promptResolutionFailures. transferAgentRenameMemory rekeys that map at Lines 2646-2650, so it has the same per-agent lifetime. This was raised on an earlier commit.

Verify EventLog.readAll still excludes the new telemetry events.

AgentHaltEscalationEvent and ResolvedPromptEvent both carry agent_id. A prior review flagged that EventLog.readAll's predicate ("agent_id" in entry) in src/event-log.ts accepts any event with agent_id as a StateTransition, so these two new telemetry event types would leak into readAll()/readForAgent() results with missing event, from_state, and to_state fields.

src/event-log.ts is not included in this review batch, so I cannot confirm whether the predicate was tightened. Since both flagged interfaces are unchanged at the same line ranges as the prior finding, treat this as still open until src/event-log.ts is checked.

Guard evictSurfaceless and purgeTerminal against reaping prompt-blocked records.

A past review flagged that only purgeAllTerminal (now at lines 2412-2414) skips records with agent.blocked_on_prompt === true. evictSurfaceless (lines 1704-1708) and purgeTerminal (lines 2471-2478) still remove/purge records without that check.

The force-stop failure message contradicts the evidence that reached it.

This branch runs only after waitForStopPostCondition at Line 7948 returned stopResult.processGone === true. Because forceSignalAccepted is false here, treatUnknownProcessAsGone was false, so processGone came from isProcessConfirmedGone. The persisted error nevertheless states process still alive.

An operator reading this record sees a claim that the post-condition already disproved. State the real cause: the force signal was rejected.

Scan normalized chooser rows for the action block, not raw lines.

hasApprovalPromptBlock builds actionWindow from chooser.region.lines, which are raw screen lines. ACTION_BLOCK_LINE_RE is anchored with ^\s*[⏺●⬢⬡], so a bordered row such as │ ⏺ Bash(rm -rf …) never matches. Every other check in this function reads region.chooserLines, which strips the border glyphs.

Result: a destructive-action approval rendered inside a box loses its action-block evidence. The screen then classifies as human_or_unknown_chooser, and maybeEscalateLiveHalt grants it the prompt-motion grace window that permission prompts are excluded from.

Use the normalized rows.

Widen the raw chooser window backwards; the fail-closed check misses options above the selector.

hasRawApprovalChooser locates the last MENU_SELECTOR_RE row, then collects option texts only from selectedIndex forward. Consent choosers frequently place the selection on the second option:

  1. Yes, run it
❯ 2. No

Here selectedIndex points at the No row, the positive option is above it, and the function returns false. The doc comment states that this check must independently prevent a consent chooser from becoming a resolved_prompt event, so the window must cover the whole option block.

Scan symmetrically around the selector.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Avoid the duplicate chooser analysis in parseErrors.

isPickerOrMenuScreen calls normalizeText and analyzeActiveChooser internally (Line 1167). The condition therefore runs the full chooser-region discovery twice per parse: once here and once inside isPickerOrMenuScreen. parseScreen calls parseErrors for every sweep screen read.

Compute the chooser once and pass it down, or drop the redundant left operand because isPickerOrMenuScreen already covers it.

9957-10013: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the "recovered" dispatch text, not only the record fields.

This test proves no input was typed into the live agent. It asserts revive_last_outcome and revive_attempts, but not the inbox message. markAutoReviveRecovered calls dispatchCliExitOutcome(recovered, "recovered"), which produces distinct task text stating that the pending auto-resume was cleared before injection. No shown test covers that branch text, so a regression that swaps it for the "revived" wording would pass.

♻️ Suggested assertion
       expect(recovered).toMatchObject({ revive_last_outcome: "revived" });
       expect(recovered?.revive_attempts).toBe(1);
+      expect(readInbox("cmuxlayerClaude", { baseDir: TEST_DIR })).toEqual([
+        expect.objectContaining({
+          tag: "agent_cli_exit_revived",
+          task: expect.stringContaining(
+            "cleared before injection so nothing was typed into the live agent",

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.

3372-3417: The unbounded fleet sink probe remains.

fleetHaltSink still probes every top-level candidate through haltSinkQuality, and haltSinkQuality still performs one readAgentScreen plus one topology observation per candidate with no timeout. Terminal candidates are still probed. This concern was raised on a previous commit and is not addressed in this revision.


3477-3511: The resolved-prompt append is still unguarded.

appendResolvedPromptEvent still calls appendResolvedPrompt without try/catch, unlike appendHaltEscalationEvent at Lines 3443-3475. A telemetry failure on the success path at Line 3564 still converts a real recovered result into failed, and the second call at Line 3585 still propagates out of maybeResolvePrompt and aborts the remaining agents in the sweep. This concern was raised on a previous commit and is not addressed in this revision.

Also applies to: 3582-3595


3660-3666: The duplicated prompt-motion conditions remain.

Lines 3660-3664 still repeat the four conditions of canObservePromptMotion at Lines 3633-3637 and still re-run isBlockingPromptChooserScreen and hasVisibleAgentProgress. This concern was raised on a previous commit and is not addressed in this revision.


4865-4866: promptResolutionFailures is still not cleared on agent removal.

clearAgentLifecycleMemory deletes promptMotionObservedAtMs and promptMotionScreenSignatures, but not promptResolutionFailures. transferAgentRenameMemory at Lines 2661-2665 rekeys that map, so it has the same per-agent lifetime. This concern was raised on a previous commit and is not addressed in this revision.


8197-8212: The force-stop failure message still contradicts the post-condition.

This branch runs only after waitForStopPostCondition returned processGone === true, yet the persisted error still states process still alive. The real cause is a rejected force signal. This concern was raised on a previous commit and is not addressed in this revision.

314-330: Duplicate: EventLog.readAll will still misclassify these telemetry events.

AgentHaltEscalationEvent and ResolvedPromptEvent both declare agent_id. A prior review already flagged that EventLog.readAll's predicate ("agent_id" in entry) in src/event-log.ts accepts any event with agent_id, so these two telemetry events would be returned from readAll()/readForAgent() as StateTransition values with missing event, from_state, and to_state. event-log.ts is not part of this review batch, so the fix cannot be confirmed here, but the same event shapes that triggered the earlier finding are unchanged in this file.

Confirm that event-log.ts's predicate now requires event, from_state, and to_state before treating an entry as a StateTransition.

No direct ObservedPublicAgent construction omits blocked_on_prompt. toObservedPublicAgent is the only construction site, and src/server.ts spreads its complete result.
