…e Idempotency-Replayed - Add session_events.status_applied_at (0056 migration) as a durable completion marker for a status.* event's agent-row mutation. - Add applyStatusEventEffect: updates the agent row and marks the event applied through runAtomicWrites (requireAtomic), so a crash or partial failure between the durable event claim and the status write can never leave the event committed while the agent row stays stale. - recordSessionEvent/recordSessionEventWithIdempotency now return pendingStatusApplication, true for a fresh status.* event and for a replay whose mutation never completed, so a retry finishes the interrupted work instead of returning 201 against a stale agent row. Unkeyed legacy behavior is unchanged (always applies immediately). - Add failure-injection, replay-recovery, D1-batch, bare-handle, and real concurrency tests for the new atomic path (atomicity.test.ts, sdk-contract.test.ts). - openapi.yaml: declare Idempotency-Replayed on the events endpoint's 201 response, consistent with other idempotent endpoints.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Assert that the trigger changed the witness.
The migration backfills status_updated_at to 1700000000. The last_seen update should invoke agents_status_reconciliation_timestamp and write a newer value, but toBeGreaterThanOrEqual also passes when the trigger is absent.
Proposed fix
- expect(touched.status_updated_at).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1700000000);
+ expect(touched.status_updated_at).toBeGreaterThan(1700000000);📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Medium Risk
Changes agent status persistence, idempotency, and migrations on a hot API path; behavior is heavily tested but ordering/legacy reconciliation logic is subtle.
Overview
POST /v1/agents/:name/eventsnow accepts an optionalIdempotency-Key: identical retries replay the same stored event (withIdempotency-Replayed: true), payload mismatches return 409idempotency_key_reused, and requests without a key stay append-only. OpenAPI/README/changelogs document the contract.Status side effects are split from durable event recording:
status.*events apply the agent-row update and setstatus_applied_atin one atomic write viaapplyStatusEventEffect, so a crash after the event is claimed can be finished on retry without returning 201 against a stale status. Replays skip duplicate harness fanout/webhooks; only the completion winner emits status presence/webhook side effects, with ordering rules so older pending events cannot roll back newer status.Schema/migrations:
0055adds keyed event identity columns and a per-agent unique index;0056adds completion/legacy-reconciliation columns, backfillsagents.status_updated_at, and marks pre-existing keyed status events for conservative replay. The Rust SDK addsemit_agent_event_with_idempotency_keyfor retry-safe emits.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 1074d43. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
