fix(server): runs no longer wedge after their provider session is released

[yordis]

• A shared provider session could be released as idle while another thread still had a turn running on it, because one stray or duplicate turn terminal was enough to make the whole session look idle.
• Once that happened, the run stayed running in the projection forever and steer, promote-to-steer, and interrupt all failed with "Provider session ... is not active", leaving no way out short of restarting the server.
• Interrupt has to be the reliable way out of a run whose provider process is gone, so a stuck thread can always be recovered from the client.

PR Summary

High Risk
Changes orchestration interrupt, provider session lifecycle, effect cancellation, and runtime recovery paths where incorrect scoping could cancel live work on concurrent threads or leave runs stuck.

Overview
Fixes wedged runs when a shared provider session is released while the projection still shows a turn running, and when stray or duplicate turn.terminal events made the whole session look idle.

Provider session busy tracking is per provider thread and run ordinal instead of a single session-wide counter. Terminals only clear the runs they refer to (including stale ordinals ≤ the terminal’s run), and a failed overlapping startTurn no longer idles an in-flight turn—so idle release cannot drop a session that still has real work.

Interrupt on a dead session no longer fails with “provider session not active.” It runs scoped process-loss reconciliation (shared with startup/shutdown via extracted planThreadReconciliation / planProcessLossReconciliation), settles open run/turn/background work for that provider thread only, enqueues checkpoint capture, and cancels unsettled outbox effects via new SESSION_BOUND_EFFECT_TYPES and optional providerSessionId on cancelUnsettled so sibling sessions on the same thread stay intact.

Tests cover session manager terminal races, interrupt-after-release, and scoped effect cancellation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Run interruption now reconciles running provider turns when their provider session is gone. Recovery planning covers scoped process loss and linked child threads. Provider-session activity and idle-release checks now track busy provider threads individually.

Changes

Process-loss reconciliation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Plan scoped process-loss reconciliation apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderRuntimeRecoveryService.ts	The service extracts reconciliation planning into a reusable planner. It scopes process-loss recovery to a run and provider thread, handles background work, and returns planned events, effects, and counts.
Apply reconciliation during run interruption apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts	When a running provider turn has lost its session, the interrupt path applies scoped reconciliation, processes linked child threads and process-bound effects, and schedules checkpoint capture when applicable. The test checks cancellations and verifies that the checkpoint-capture effect remains pending.

Provider-thread session activity

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Track busy provider threads apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.test.ts	Session activity uses a set of busy provider-thread IDs. Turn starts and terminal events update the set, and idle-release checks use it. Tests cover stray terminal events and failed overlapping starts.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7d6d7

Interrupting a run whose provider session ended can cancel child work that is still live. If the interrupt fails partway, child runs can be left stuck. A delayed duplicate turn-completion event can still release a session while a turn is running. These issues should be fixed before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7d6d7

Interrupt recovery improves handling of stuck runs, but it can mark independently running child work as stopped without terminating it. Child cleanup can also survive a failed recovery, leaving execution and displayed state inconsistent.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: Loss of the parent provider session triggers whole-thread process-loss reconciliation for every linked child without confirming that its provider process has also died. Delegated children can use a different provider. The recovery records child runs as cancelled and sessions as stopped without issuing child interruption or teardown. Already-started child agent or tool work can therefore continue behind terminal state, weakening the client's ability to observe and stop it.
• Medium · reliability · observed: Linked-child effects are durably cancelled and cancellation signals are delivered during command planning, before recovery events and the command receipt commit. Failure while planning a later child or committing the command can leave child execution cancelled while persisted run state still reports active work. The primary cancellation path has transactional protection; the new child path bypasses it, compromising recovery and rollback consistency.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The identified exposure is the interrupted run's linked child work and the capabilities already granted to those child providers. Primary projection scoping excludes sibling runs and provider threads; the inspected path does not establish cross-tenant reachability or new infrastructure privileges.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — After parent-session loss, an independently live child can be recorded as cancelled without receiving a provider interrupt or teardown. A child already performing tool operations may continue while the client sees stopped work. This is a containment failure path, not a verified authentication bypass or demonstrated exploit.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The interrupt handler resolves the requested run, root node and provider thread inside the requested thread. Recovery derives child targets from stored subagent links rather than accepting an arbitrary child-target list. These identity controls limit targeting but do not prove that linked child processes have terminated.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The primary command transaction couples recovery events, effect enqueueing, receipt persistence and cancellation, with cancellation signals delivered after commit. The regression test checks child terminal state and a pending checkpoint, but does not establish live child termination or completed checkpoint recovery.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Distinguish confirmed child process loss from live-child cancellation. Use interruption or teardown with terminal confirmation for live children, and commit child cancellation intents with their recovery events before delivering cancellation signals.

apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts:7948-7954
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not treat a providerSessions.get failure as a dead session on the destructive path.

Effect.orElseSucceed(() => Option.none()) turns any lookup error into "session is dead". Before this change, that result only led to the non-destructive settleOnly branch. Now a running turn with a lookup error goes through process-loss reconciliation instead. That reconciliation cancels the run, stops the session in the projection, and cancels process-bound effects, while the real process may still be alive. Pass lookup errors through to the caller for the providerTurn.status === "running" branch, and keep the error-as-none fallback only for settleOnly.

- Around line 8030-8031: Update the call to settleBackgroundWork on the plan
application path so it uses the projection after pending events for
command.threadId have been applied, preventing stale provider-thread state from
overriding the plan’s update. Alternatively, skip the roster loop on this path
because the plan has already cleared the roster.
- Around line 8087-8103: Move child-thread cancellation from planning into a
committed operation, using the childThreadId and PROCESS_BOUND_EFFECT_TYPES
cancellation data in the commit flow around eventSink.commitCommand. Call
outbox.signalCancellations only after that commit succeeds, so a failed dispatch
leaves the child’s effects untouched.
- Around line 8058-8083: Update the child loop around `childProjection` and
`planThreadReconciliation` to inspect each child’s provider session before
reconciliation. For dead sessions, pass a projection scoped to that session into
the process-loss plan; for live sessions, emit the normal
`provider-turn.interrupt` effect instead of cancelling the child run through
process-loss reconciliation.

Review comments at @apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.ts:
- Line 1393: Update the busy-state handling around markBusy and markIdle in
ProviderSessionManager to track an active turn identity or generation per
provider thread. Clear the busy-thread ID only when a terminal event matches the
currently active turn, so a repeated terminal event from an earlier turn cannot
release a session running a newer turn.
