Summary

  • AgentPool.respond_approval() computes whether a gateway approval actually resolved, but the approval.resolved event it broadcasts to the session omits that outcome, so a failed resolution is broadcast in exactly the same shape as a successful one.
  • handle-bridge-run.ts forwards only {event, run_id, approval_id, choice} for approval.resolved, dropping any outcome the runtime does report.
  • The client dismisses an approval card unless the event carries resolved === false (packages/client/src/stores/hermes/chat.ts:3282), so the popup closes and the user sees a success for a command that was never approved.
  • Fix carries resolved on the broadcast event and forwards it when the runtime reports a boolean; runtimes that do not report one keep today's payload shape.
  • Three source lines in two files. 26 tests across five files at this head (ca908be2): 17 discriminating, 9 controls. Both call surfaces of the forwarder (live run and resume), the forwarder's third output (the onEvent observer that feeds webhooks and push notices) and its fourth (the replayed run state a reconnecting client receives), all four Python outcome branches, both client-store consumer branches (card pending and card already dismissed), and the browser card are covered.

Passes after (fix applied, head ca908be2):

The user-visible failure, on base, at the client store. This is the assertion that the approval card is gone when the resolution failed:

Bug

When the Web UI answers a gateway (dangerous-command) approval, AgentPool.respond_approval() calls resolve_gateway_approval() and computes resolved = bool(gateway_request_id) and resolve_gateway_approval(...) > 0. That value is returned to the socket caller, but the approval.resolved event appended to the run's event stream carries only event, run_id, approval_id and choice. applyBridgeChunkAsync() then rebuilds the outbound payload from exactly those four keys. The client's clearPendingApproval() dismisses the pending approval unless the event says resolved === false, so a resolution that failed (the runtime emitted no request_id, hermes-agent older than v0.20.5, issue EKKOLearnAI#2756; the queue entry had already expired, issue EKKOLearnAI#2558; or resolve_gateway_approval raised) closes the approval card exactly as a successful one does. The user sees their Allow/Deny accepted while the command is never executed and the agent thread keeps waiting for its own timeout. Blast radius: every Web UI user running the Hermes CLI bridge with gateway approvals whose runtime is version-skewed or whose approval has aged out. The socket path (sockets/chat-run.ts:1199-1211) already sends an honest resolved flag, so only the bridge run-event broadcast is affected. Both of that forwarder's call surfaces are hit: handleBridgeRun (the live run, where the user clicks Allow mid-run) and resumeBridgeRun (reconnect, and any client that was not the responder).

The main chat view makes the drop worse rather than milder. MessageList.vue:368 answers through respondApproval(), which dismisses the card locally the moment the choice is sent (chat.ts:3401). The failed resolution therefore arrives with nothing pending for the session, and clearPendingApproval takes its no-pending early return, a branch that notifies the user only when the event reports resolved === false. On base that branch is dead, so the most common path through the UI is also the one that fails most silently.

Repro

Feed applyBridgeChunkAsync an approval.resolved bridge event carrying resolved: false, and observe that the payload emitted to clients has no resolved key at all, and that the approval card in the store is consequently dismissed, or that the expiry notice never fires when the card was already dismissed on submit. This is pinned end to end at three layers (the Python producer, the TypeScript forwarder, and the client store consumer) by the 17 discriminating tests listed under ## Test evidence. The verbatim base-arm transcripts in ## Summary are current for head ca908be2.

At the Python layer the base failure is a bare missing key:

$ git checkout 0cc8271e -- bridge_pool.py handle-bridge-run.ts   # tests kept
$ npx vitest run tests/server/agent-bridge-python-concurrency.test.ts
   × agent bridge Python session concurrency > reports a resolved gateway approval outcome on the broadcast approval.resolved event 218ms
    assert resolved_events[0]["resolved"] is True, resolved_events[0]
KeyError: 'resolved'

At the client layer the base failure is the reported symptom itself: the card is already gone. That transcript is the third console block in ## Summary.

Two lines of behaviour plus one comment. resolved is already computed on the line above the event; publishing it is the minimal change that makes the broadcast agree with the value respond_approval returns to its caller, and it matches the shape the socket path (sockets/chat-run.ts) and the ekko-agent path (handle-ekko-agent-run.ts:1272) already emit.

Alternatives rejected:

  • Default resolved to true in the TS forwarder when absent. Would assert an outcome for runtimes that never reported one, turning the silent-success bug into a silent-success guarantee. The conditional spread keeps the payload byte-identical for those runtimes, so no client behaviour changes where there is no new information.
  • A truthiness guard (...(ev.resolved ? ...)) instead of typeof. This is the single most important line in the diff. A truthiness guard drops false, the falsy-but-valid case, and reinstates the exact bug being fixed. Pinned by the two 'a failed gateway resolution' tests and by client tests 15 and 19, which fail on base and would fail again under a truthiness mutant. Test 7 is the truthy non-boolean "true", the one value such a guard would wrongly forward.
  • Suppress the approval.resolved broadcast entirely when resolved is false. The client's expired/stale handling (chat.ts:3276-3288) is driven by receiving the event with resolved === false; withholding it would leave the card up with no explanation and no path to the expiry notice. Client tests 18 and 19 execute both of that handling's branches.
  • Add stale/error fields as the socket path does. That is a larger contract change; resolved alone is what clearPendingApproval gates on, and the rest belongs to the wider lifecycle work proposed in [Bug]: EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio#3099.
  • Fix the FIFO/identity routing described in Gateway approval misroute: respond_approval() discards approval_id, resolve_gateway_approval() pops FIFO — user's Allow/Deny lands on the wrong pending command EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio#1992 and [Bug]: EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio#3099. Out of scope: a structural refactor, explicitly deferred by fix(approval): wait for authoritative runtime response EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio#2648 and not a single-bug change.

Test evidence

26 tests at head ca908be2: 17 discriminating (fail on base) and 9 controls (green on both arms, each with a distinct job). Tests 1 and 2 and 8 shipped with the fix commit 027380b3; tests 3 to 7 and 9 to 14 were added by adversarial verification at 9daa0b3b; tests 15 to 17 and 21 to 22 were added at e70d31f3 to answer the gating review's client-boundary finding; tests 18 to 20 were added at 534cf3c9 by a second adversarial verification that found the submit-dismissed consumer branch reachable and untested. 94a1c92f renamed cases and folded same-shape cases into tables; it changed no assertion input. Tests 23 to 26 were added at ca908be2 by a third adversarial verification: the forwarder's emit has two consumers the earlier tests never read, the onEvent observer (webhooks, push, foreground notices) and replaceState (the run state replayed to a reconnecting client), and each now has a row per outcome.

# Test File Layer Discriminates?
1 forwards the bridge approval outcome for 'a failed gateway resolution' run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts TS forwarder, resume surface yes, fails on base
2 forwards the bridge approval outcome for 'a successful gateway resolution' run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts TS forwarder, resume surface yes, fails on base
3 omits resolved when an older bridge runtime does not report an approval outcome run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts TS forwarder control: the key-absent case; pins that the payload stays byte-identical for pre-fix runtimes
4 drops a non-boolean resolved value of 'null' rather than forwarding it run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts TS forwarder control: typeof null === 'object', distinct from the key-absent test 3
5 drops a non-boolean resolved value of 'the number 0' rather than forwarding it run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts TS forwarder control: a falsy non-boolean; pins that the guard is on the type, not on falsiness
6 drops a non-boolean resolved value of 'an empty string' rather than forwarding it run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts TS forwarder control: the other falsy-but-valid primitive
7 drops a non-boolean resolved value of 'the string "true"' rather than forwarding it run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts TS forwarder control: a truthy non-boolean, the one case a truthiness guard would wrongly forward
8 reports a resolved gateway approval outcome on the broadcast approval.resolved event agent-bridge-python-concurrency.test.ts Python producer yes, fails on base (KeyError: 'resolved')
9 reports an unresolved gateway approval outcome when the runtime never registered the request agent-bridge-python-concurrency.test.ts Python producer yes, fails on base
10 reports an unresolved gateway approval outcome for a runtime that sends no request id agent-bridge-python-concurrency.test.ts Python producer yes, fails on base
11 reports an unresolved gateway approval outcome when the approval gateway raises agent-bridge-python-concurrency.test.ts Python producer, except Exception branch yes, fails on base
12 omits the outcome on the session-interrupt approval.resolved event agent-bridge-python-concurrency.test.ts Python producer control: pins that the other two approval.resolved emit sites in bridge_pool.py (lines 1426 and 2156) were not disturbed
13 forwards the bridge approval outcome on a live run for 'a failed gateway resolution' run-chat-bridge-final-context.test.ts TS forwarder, live-run surface yes, fails on base
14 forwards the bridge approval outcome on a live run for 'a successful gateway resolution' run-chat-bridge-final-context.test.ts TS forwarder, live-run surface yes, fails on base
15 forwards 'a failed gateway resolution' to the approval card bridge-approval-outcome-contract.test.ts forwarder to client store, end to end yes, fails on base: expected undefined to be 'approval-bridge', i.e. the card is gone
16 forwards 'a successful gateway resolution' to the approval card bridge-approval-outcome-contract.test.ts forwarder to client store yes, fails on base (expected undefined to be true)
17 forwards 'an older runtime that reports no outcome' to the approval card bridge-approval-outcome-contract.test.ts forwarder to client store control: pins that the legacy key-absent payload still dismisses the card, i.e. no behaviour change for pre-fix runtimes
18 reports the expiry when a failed gateway resolution is also stale bridge-approval-outcome-contract.test.ts forwarder to client store, stale/expiry branch with a card still pending yes, fails on base: expected "spy" to be called 1 times, but got 0 times
19 reports 'a failed gateway resolution' to a card the view already dismissed on submit bridge-approval-outcome-contract.test.ts forwarder to client store, !current early-return branch yes, fails on base: expected "spy" to be called 1 times, but got 0 times
20 reports 'a successful gateway resolution' to a card the view already dismissed on submit bridge-approval-outcome-contract.test.ts same early-return branch, resolved: true yes, fails on base. Its first assertion (zero expiry notices) passes on both arms and is what makes test 19's notice attributable to the failed outcome rather than to the branch being reached; its second assertion (the forwarded true) fails on base
21 keeps the approval card when the runtime reports a failed resolution tests/e2e/chat-streaming.spec.ts Playwright, real browser control, see the note below
22 dismisses the approval card when the runtime reports a successful resolution tests/e2e/chat-streaming.spec.ts Playwright, real browser control, see the note below
23 reports the bridge approval outcome to the run event observer for 'a failed gateway resolution' run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts TS forwarder, onEvent observer (the hook sockets/chat-run.ts uses for webhooks, push and pending-interaction notices) yes, fails on base; also asserts foregroundNotification() returns null for the failed outcome, the check app-events.ts:60 makes before notifying a phone
24 reports the bridge approval outcome to the run event observer for 'a successful gateway resolution' run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts TS forwarder, onEvent observer yes, fails on base; asserts foregroundNotification() produces a notice for the successful outcome
25 keeps the bridge approval outcome in the replayed run state for 'a failed gateway resolution' run-chat-bridge-final-context.test.ts TS forwarder, replaceState (the approval.resolved entry buildResumeEvents replays on reconnect and bindAppEventSubscription reads at sockets/chat-run.ts:748) yes, fails on base
26 keeps the bridge approval outcome in the replayed run state for 'a successful gateway resolution' run-chat-bridge-final-context.test.ts TS forwarder, replaceState yes, fails on base

Tests 23 to 26 read the two outputs of the forwarder that tests 1 to 20 do not. The forwarder's emit closure (handle-bridge-run.ts:629 and :1012) does three things with one payload object: replaceState into the session's event list, onEvent to the socket layer's observer, and the socket broadcast. Tests 1, 2, 13 and 14 read only the broadcast. The observer is what sockets/chat-run.ts:1622-1638 wraps to feed observeChatRunWebhookEvent and emitPendingInteraction, and foregroundNotification() (foreground-notification.ts:5) returns null for resolved === false, so a phone gets a "resolved" notice on base for an approval that failed. The replayed state is what a reconnecting client receives and what the app-event subscription (sockets/chat-run.ts:748) uses to decide whether an approval is still pending: on base the entry has no resolved key and the pending card is dropped from the replay.

Tests 15 to 20 answer the gating review's blocking finding. They do not use a hand-written payload fixture: each one drives the real forwarder (resumeBridgeRun) over a runtime approval.resolved event and feeds whatever it emits into the real chat store via the global peer handler, so the server payload and the client card are checked against each other.

Tests 19 and 20 cover the branch the main chat view actually takes. An earlier head listed that branch as reachable with no test and argued it was "unchanged by the diff". The argument does not hold: the diff publishes the very value the branch gates on. Test 19 drives respondApproval() exactly as MessageList.vue:368 does and then forwards a failed resolution.

Per the multi-assert rule, the user-visible assertion is ordered first in each body, so it is the one proven on the base arm (a base run aborts at the first failing assert, which would otherwise leave later assertions unproven).

Tests 21 and 22 are declared controls, not regressions. DEVELOPMENT.md:62 asks for Playwright coverage of browser-visible flows, and these run in a real Chromium against the real Vue app. But the repo's mockChatSocket fixture injects event payloads at the browser boundary, downstream of the changed server code, so no e2e test in this harness can discriminate on the fix. Measured, not assumed: both pass on base and on head. They pin what the card must do with each outcome the forwarder can send; tests 15 to 20 pin that the forwarder actually sends it.

Playwright: measured locally at head e70d31f3, and by the fork's own CI at ca908be2. The only change to tests/e2e/chat-streaming.spec.ts since e70d31f3 is the two test names and three comments (git diff e70d31f3 ca908be2 -- tests/e2e touches no assertion, no locator and no payload), and no commit since 027380b3 touches a source file. The fork's Playwright workflow at ca908be2 (run 35940638064, job 107447538023) ran the whole tests/e2e suite in Chromium: Running 212 tests using 1 worker ... 212 passed (10.6m), which includes both approval-card tests, in the dot reporter CI uses. The local transcript below is from e70d31f3, under the names the tests carried then, because the containers that ran the later rounds have no Chromium binary:

$ npx playwright test -c pw.local.config.ts tests/e2e/chat-streaming.spec.ts -g "approval card in the browser" --reporter=list

  ✓  1 [chromium] › tests/e2e/chat-streaming.spec.ts:1607:5 › keeps the approval card in the browser when the runtime reports a failed resolution (control) (9.9s)

  2 passed (13.9s)

Base arm at e70d31f3 (both source files reverted to 0cc8271e), both still pass, which is why they are controls:

  2 passed (13.2s)

pw.local.config.ts is an untracked local override that points Playwright at the container's system Chromium (the managed download is a glibc build and that container was musl). It is not part of the diff; upstream CI uses the repo's own playwright.config.ts unchanged.

Verification method

executed, in the run container: Node v24.19.0, vitest 3.2.4, python3 3.14 (the Python tests run through the repo's existing execFileSync('python3', ...) harness). Install: npm ci --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund. Both arms of the A/B were run at head ca908be2 by checking the base copies of the two changed source files out over the worktree, running the four affected vitest files, then restoring with git checkout HEAD -- <the two paths>.

Six runs contributed: the fix run (027380b3), an adversarial verification run (9daa0b3b, tests 3 to 7 and 9 to 14), a rework run answering the gating review (e70d31f3, tests 15 to 17 and 21 to 22 plus the first full build), a second adversarial verification (534cf3c9, tests 18 to 20), a rework answering a second-opinion review about test naming (94a1c92f, which re-ran both vitest arms and the full build), and a third adversarial verification (ca908be2, tests 23 to 26, both vitest arms re-run at that head, mutants re-run, the two consumer probes in ## Boundaries rows 27 and 28, and this document reconciled to the new head).

Historical and labelled as such above: the local Playwright transcript (tests 21 and 22) is from e70d31f3 and the local npm run build transcript from 94a1c92f; the fork CI at ca908be2 re-ran both. git diff 027380b3 ca908be2 -- packages/ is empty, so no source file has changed since the fix commit.

Not executed by any run, for the fork CI or the operator to confirm:

Fork CI at ca908be2: gh pr checks 1 --repo sprayberry-code/hermes-studio reports both workflows green, build pass 5m18s (run 35940638067: npm ci, harness:check, test:coverage with Test Files 693 passed | 7 skipped (700), npm run build to completion) and e2e pass 11m34s (run 35940638064: npx playwright install --with-deps chromium, npm run test:e2e, 212 passed (10.6m)).

  • AGENTS.md, Hard Rules, line 49: "Do not mix unrelated refactors into a bug fix." The source diff is three lines in two files, one bug. All five test commits are tests only (git diff 027380b3 ca908be2 -- packages/ is empty).
  • AGENTS.md, line 36: "tests/client, tests/server, tests/shared - Vitest coverage." / line 37: "tests/e2e - Playwright browser coverage with mocked backend services." The new client tests are in tests/client/, the browser tests extend the existing tests/e2e/chat-streaming.spec.ts.
  • DEVELOPMENT.md, Coding Rules, line 35: "Do not mix unrelated refactors into feature or bugfix commits."
  • DEVELOPMENT.md, Testing Rules, line 61: "Add focused Vitest coverage for server and store logic changes." Focused vitest added for both the server forwarder and the store consumer.
  • DEVELOPMENT.md, Testing Rules, line 62: "Add Playwright coverage for browser-visible flows and routing/auth regressions." Tests 21 and 22, appended to the existing approval e2e file, executed in a real Chromium at e70d31f3. Their limits are stated above rather than glossed.
  • DEVELOPMENT.md, Testing Rules, line 63: "For frontend browser tests, prefer API/socket mocks over real external services." They use the repo's own mockHermesApi / mockChatSocket fixtures.
  • DEVELOPMENT.md, Testing Rules, line 64: "Before opening a PR, run the smallest relevant tests plus npm run build." The affected test files were run on both arms at this head; the full npm run build completed locally at 94a1c92f and in the fork CI at this head; transcripts in ## Test evidence.
  • DEVELOPMENT.md, Commit And PR Rules, line 123: "Mark a PR ready only after the relevant tests and build pass."
  • DEVELOPMENT.md, Commit And PR Rules, lines 116-117: "Branch from main for new work." / "Use short, descriptive branch names such as codex/fix-login-token or feat/group-chat-copy." Branched from main at 0cc8271e; branch fix/bridge-approval-resolved-flag.
  • DEVELOPMENT.md, Commit And PR Rules: "Use concise commit messages that describe the change" / "Commit only files that belong to the change." Six commits, source then tests, nothing unrelated.

Tooling run at this head: npm ci --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund, npx vitest run <the four affected files> on both arms, npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/server/tsconfig.json; npm run build locally at 94a1c92f and in the fork CI at ca908be2.

Disclosure facts for the operator

Plain facts about what AI did on this change, for you to write your own disclosure:

  • An AI agent read the issue tree under [Bug]: EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio#3099 and selected the bug; the ticket's stated surface ("provider registry refresh") did not match [Bug]: EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio#3099's actual content, and the agent re-scoped to the approval-lifecycle drop after reading all five sibling issues.
  • The agent located the defect by reading respond_approval() against applyBridgeChunkAsync() and the client's clearPendingApproval(). It was not reported as such by any issue: [Bug] 审批命令超时后,迟到点击"仅此次"仍被接口接收但命令不执行,弹窗却被关闭(approval lifecycle desync) EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio#2558 reports the symptom, Bug: WebUI approvals never resolve — respond_approval() requires request_id that hermes-agent <v0.20.5 never sends EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio#2756 reports the condition.
  • The agent wrote the three-line fix and all 26 tests.
  • A second, independent AI run attacked the candidate: it rebuilt the boundary ledger from the diff without reading this document, found that the live-run call surface of the forwarder had no coverage at all, that the shipped three-case Python test aborted at its first assertion on base (so two of its three cases were never proven to discriminate), and that the except Exception branch was untested. It split that test and added tests 3 to 7 and 9 to 14.
  • A third AI run answered a gating code review that found the client-store consumer had been read but never executed, and that the required full build had not been run. It added tests 15 to 17 and 21 to 22 and ran npm run build.
  • A fourth AI run re-attacked the result, re-ran both arms in full, and found the client's no-pending early return (the branch the main chat view actually takes, which the previous head had argued away as unchanged by the diff) both reachable and untested. It added tests 18 to 20.
  • A fifth AI run answered a non-gating second-opinion review that the shipped tests carried patch-history narration: test names ending in "(control)", comments describing what holds with or without the change, and accounting of which assertion discriminates. It renamed the cases after the behaviours they pin, folded same-shape cases into parameterised tables, removed those comments, re-ran both vitest arms and the full build, and reconciled this document. No assertion input was dropped; the discriminating/control split moved from 12/10 to 13/9 only because folding the submit-dismissed pair into one table added the forwarded-value assertion to its successful-resolution case.
  • A sixth AI run re-attacked the result at 94a1c92f. It found that every forwarder test read only the socket broadcast while the same payload also goes to the onEvent observer (webhooks, push, foreground notices) and into the replayed run state, and added tests 23 to 26 for those two outputs. It then re-ran both vitest arms and the five mutants at ca908be2, probed the two other consumers of the outcome (group-chat store, voice relay) on both arms, and reconciled this document.
  • Every run executed both arms (base and fixed) of every vitest file in a Linux container; all vitest, tsc and build output quoted in this document is copy-pasted from those runs or from the fork's CI logs, each labelled with its head.
  • The local Playwright transcripts are from the third run's head (e70d31f3) and are labelled as such; later containers had no Chromium available. The fork's CI ran the whole Playwright suite at ca908be2 (212 passed). No source file has changed since 027380b3, and the e2e delta since e70d31f3 is two test names and three comments.
  • Not run by any agent locally: the whole vitest suite and the whole Playwright suite (both ran in the fork CI at ca908be2). Not run anywhere: a live test against a real hermes-agent runtime.

Boundaries

Every predicate, comparison and truthiness check the diff adds or changes. Ledger rebuilt from the diff at head ca908be2.

Diff element 1, "resolved": resolved added to the event dict (bridge_pool.py). No new predicate; it publishes the value bound on the preceding lines by resolved = bool(gateway_request_id) and resolve_gateway_approval(...) > 0, inside a try whose except Exception sets resolved = False. Rows for every value that binding can take at this point:

# Input / state resolved published Test
1 gateway_request_id non-empty, runtime resolved 1 waiter (> 0 true) True test 8
2 gateway_request_id non-empty, runtime resolved 0 waiters (> 0 false, entry expired or never registered, EKKOLearnAI#2558) False test 9
3 gateway_request_id empty string (bool("") false, hermes-agent < v0.20.5, EKKOLearnAI#2756) False, short-circuit; test 10 also asserts resolve_gateway_approval is not called test 10
4 resolve_gateway_approval raises (import error or runtime error) False via the existing except Exception test 11, which monkeypatches the gateway to raise RuntimeError
5 gateway_generation is None (approval id unknown) event not appended at all, early return {"resolved": False} above the changed line unreachable for this diff: the changed line is below that return
6 terminal (non-gateway) approval, response_queue is not None this branch not taken; _approval_callback appends its own event (line 1426) with no resolved key unreachable for this diff; scope pinned by test 12
7 session-interrupt path (_cancel_pending_approvals_for_generation, line 2156) separate emit site, unchanged, still no resolved key and carries reason: "Session interrupted" test 12 (control)

Diff element 2, ...(typeof ev.resolved === 'boolean' ? { resolved: ev.resolved } : {}) (handle-bridge-run.ts). A typeof === 'boolean' guard, deliberately not a truthiness check, so that false is forwarded rather than swallowed:

# ev.resolved Emitted payload Test
8 true {..., resolved: true} tests 2, 14, 16, 20, 24, 26
9 false (the falsy-but-valid case; a truthiness guard would drop it and reintroduce the bug) {..., resolved: false} tests 1, 13, 15, 18, 19, 23, 25
10 undefined / key absent (runtime older than this change) no resolved key, payload byte-identical to today tests 3 and 17 (controls)
11 null (typeof null === 'object') no resolved key test 4 (control)
12 0, falsy non-boolean no resolved key test 5 (control)
13 "", falsy non-boolean no resolved key test 6 (control)
14 "true", truthy non-boolean, the case a truthiness guard would wrongly forward no resolved key test 7 (control)

Call surfaces of the changed forwarder. applyBridgeChunkAsync is reached from four call sites in two exported entry points; the fix claims to cover both:

# Surface Covered
15 handleBridgeRun, live run, bridge.streamOutput loop (lines 835, 881) tests 13, 14, 25, 26
16 resumeBridgeRun, reconnect, snapshot plus bridge.getOutput poll loop (lines 1043, 1089) tests 1 to 7, 15 to 20, 23, 24

Outputs of the changed branch. The payload object built in the diff is handed to replaceState and then to emit, and emit (lines 629 and 1012) forwards the same object to the onEvent observer and to the socket broadcast. Every output must carry the outcome, or a consumer keeps seeing base behaviour:

# Output Consumer Test
16a socket broadcast (nsp.to(session).emit) the chat store (rows 20 to 25), the pending-interactions room tests 1, 2, 13, 14
16b onEvent observer sockets/chat-run.ts:1622 wraps it into observeChatRunWebhookEvent and emitPendingInteraction; app-events.ts:60 calls foregroundNotification(), which returns null for resolved === false (foreground-notification.ts:5), so on base a failed approval produces a "resolved" push notice tests 23 and 24, each also asserting the foregroundNotification() result
16c replaceState into state.events buildResumeEvents replays it to a reconnecting client; sockets/chat-run.ts:748 keeps an approval pending in the app-event snapshot only when data.resolved === false tests 25 and 26

Sibling branches of the same if/else if chain, to show nothing else changed:

# Branch Effect of the diff
17 approval.requested untouched; no resolved field involved
18 clarify.resolved / clarify.requested untouched sibling branches
19 approval.resolved emitted by the ekko-agent path (handle-ekko-agent-run.ts:1268) not routed through this branch; that path already emits its own resolved: true

Downstream consumer, every branch now executed. clearPendingApproval() (packages/client/src/stores/hermes/chat.ts:3268-3292) branches on (evt as any).resolved === false strictly, in two places: once in the no-pending early return and once with a card pending.

# Payload reaching the client store Client behaviour Test
20 no resolved key (rows 10 to 14) card dismissed, today's behaviour, unchanged test 17 (control), executed against the real store
21 resolved: false, no stale/error (row 9), card pending clearPendingApproval takes the resolved === false branch and returns without deleting: the card stays up test 15, fails on base, where the card is already gone
22 resolved: false and stale: true (row 9 plus expiry), card pending dismissPendingApprovalFor runs and, because the user had attempted a response, notifyPendingInteractionExpired() fires test 18, fails on base, where the notice never fires
23 resolved: true (row 8) card dismissed test 16, fails on base because resolved is undefined there
24 resolved: false plus stale: true but no pending card for the session (!current, chat.ts:3275-3280), the state the main chat view is always in, because respondApproval() dismisses the card on submit (chat.ts:3401, called from MessageList.vue:368) early-return branch; notifyPendingInteractionExpired() fires because the user attempted and the event is stale and it reports resolved === false test 19, fails on base: the payload carries no outcome, so the branch notifies nobody
25 resolved: true plus stale: true, no pending card (same early return, successful resolution) nothing pending and nothing to report: no notice either way test 20; its zero-notice assertion holds on both arms, which is what makes test 19's notice attributable to the failed outcome rather than to the branch being reached
26 browser rendering of rows 21 to 23 approval float panel stays up or closes as above tests 21 and 22 (controls), real Chromium, but the e2e harness injects at the browser boundary so they cannot discriminate; see ## Test evidence

Other consumers of approval.resolved reached by the same payload shape, probed on both arms rather than tested, because the diff does not route through them and their existing tests already pin the resolved === false gate with hand-built payloads:

# Consumer Gate Measured
27 group-chat store, group-chat.ts:1227 (data.resolved === false keeps the pending approval) same strict-false gate as the chat store no key: pending 1 to 0; resolved: false: stays 1; resolved: true: 1 to 0. The group-chat server path (agent-clients.ts:1739-1745) rebuilds its own payload from approval_id and choice only, so group rooms never see the outcome on either arm; out of scope for this change, noted for the follow-up
28 voice relay, outbound-relay-client.ts:1233 (event.resolved !== false, forwards error: 'approval failed' to the device) not-false gate, so a missing key reads as success no key: tool.completed with no error; resolved: false: error: 'approval failed'; resolved: true: no error. Same shape as the chat store: on base the device is told the approval succeeded

Suggested upstream PR title

fix: report bridge approval outcome on approval.resolved

The Python bridge broadcasts approval.resolved for a gateway approval
even when resolve_gateway_approval did not resolve anything, and the
event carried no outcome. The chat-run forwarder then dropped the flag
entirely, so a failed resolution reached the client indistinguishable
from a successful one and closed the approval card.

Carry the resolved outcome on the broadcast event and forward it when
the runtime reports one.

Split the three-case Python broadcast test so each runtime condition
fails independently, add the gateway-raises branch and an interrupt-path
control, pin the non-boolean resolved values the typeof guard drops, and
cover the live handleBridgeRun surface alongside the resume one.

Verification

Adversarial verification by a fresh run at head 9daa0b3bd3ce41f405e385a6794d033cbda601ed. The boundary ledger was rebuilt from the diff, not from the PR body.

Holes found (3) — all now pinned

  1. An entire uncovered call surface. applyBridgeChunkAsync is reached from four call sites across two exported entry points: handleBridgeRun (the live run — where a user clicks Allow mid-run) and resumeBridgeRun (reconnect). Every shipped test drove only resumeBridgeRun. Added tests 9 and 10 through the real handleBridgeRun; both fail on base.
  2. The shipped three-case Python test did not discriminate in two of its three cases. On base it aborted at its first assert, so arms 2 and 3 never executed there. Split into three it() blocks sharing a new gatewayApprovalPrelude constant — each now fails on base independently.
  3. The except Exception: resolved = False branch had no test. Added test 7, which monkeypatches resolve_gateway_approval to raise. Fails on base with KeyError: resolved.

Added as declared controls (green on both arms, each with a distinct job): the four non-boolean resolved values (null, 0, "", "true") that pin the guard as typeof rather than truthiness — "true" is the truthy one a truthiness guard would wrongly forward — and the interrupt-path event, which pins that the other two approval.resolved emit sites in bridge_pool.py (lines 1426 and 2156) were not disturbed.

Still open, stated in the body and not closed by any test: the client-store consumer (clearPendingApproval, packages/client/src/stores/hermes/chat.ts:3268-3292) is read, not executed. Boundaries rows 20 and 21.

14 tests on the branch: 8 discriminating, 6 controls. Verification commit 9daa0b3b is tests only — git diff 027380b3 9daa0b3b touches no source file.

Base arm — both source files reverted to 0cc8271e, all tests kept

Verdict: CHANGES_REQUESTED — not ready for the operator because this browser-visible approval outcome change lacks the upstream-required browser coverage and required full build validation.

Blocking finding — missing required browser-flow coverage and build validation

packages/server/src/modules/hermes/services/bridge/python/bridge_pool.py:2294

"resolved": resolved,

packages/server/src/modules/studio/services/chat-run/handle-bridge-run.ts:1535-1536

// Older runtimes omit resolved; forward only an explicit outcome.
...(typeof ev.resolved === 'boolean' ? { resolved: ev.resolved } : {}),

These changed lines deliberately alter the payload that makes the Web UI distinguish a failed approval resolution (resolved: false) from an older/absent outcome. The facts sheet confirms that the client-store consumer was only read, not executed, and that neither Playwright nor the full npm run build ran. That does not meet upstream DEVELOPMENT.md:62 ("Add Playwright coverage for browser-visible flows and routing/auth regressions") or DEVELOPMENT.md:64,123 (run the relevant tests plus npm run build; mark ready only after those pass). A server-only emitter assertion can pass while the actual card still dismisses, fails to show its stale/expiry state, or mishandles this field at the browser boundary.

Exercise an approval-resolved event with resolved: false through the client-visible path, assert that the pending card remains and exposes the stale/expired handling, and run the required build before re-submitting.

// Add a focused browser/client-flow regression that feeds an
// approval.resolved event with resolved: false and asserts the approval is
// retained and its stale/expiry handling is shown; then run `npm run build`.

What's good: the producer change publishes the already-computed boolean, and the typeof ev.resolved === 'boolean' guard correctly preserves a meaningful false while retaining legacy absent-key compatibility. The focused producer and both server forwarder surfaces are well covered. I also independently traced the base producer: it computes resolved but omits it from the event, so the reported defect is real. Fork CI reports no checks; that is absence rather than a passing signal.

I checked the candidate facts sheet, base behavior, changed producer/forwarder paths, boundary ledger, commit hygiene, policy excerpts, prior-art searches, and reported test/typecheck evidence. I did not run tests locally.

Automated review from the Sprayberry Labs fleet code reviewer.

Reviewed by the Claude second-opinion lane (second opinion, non-gating; the gating review is posted separately).

Verdict: no blocking issues found in the outcome-propagation fix at 9daa0b3bd3ce41f405e385a6794d033cbda601ed; ready within its deliberately narrow scope.

Independent correctness read

I can confirm the bug from the base code represented by the diff and surrounding source: a registered bridge approval whose gateway request has expired produces resolved = False, but the old event dictionary omits that value and the old TS forwarder independently drops it. With a matching pending card, clearPendingApproval therefore reaches deletion rather than its strict resolved === false branch.

The changed lines address both losses:

  • packages/server/src/modules/hermes/services/bridge/python/bridge_pool.py:2294: "resolved": resolved,
  • packages/server/src/modules/studio/services/chat-run/handle-bridge-run.ts:1536: ...(typeof ev.resolved === 'boolean' ? { resolved: ev.resolved } : {}),

The type guard is appropriate: forwarding false is essential, while defaulting an absent outcome would invent information. The other Python emit sites are semantically different: the terminal callback has finished waiting, and interruption terminates the pending interaction. Preserving their existing omission is defensible, not evidence that this narrow fix must become a lifecycle rewrite. The new interruption control exercises the interruption site, not the separate terminal-callback site.

Boundaries — rebuilt from the diff

There is one new production predicate, typeof ev.resolved === 'boolean'; the Python addition publishes an already-computed value without changing its computation.

Changed expression / boundary Fixed behavior Test pin
TS type predicate: false / true Preserve the exact boolean Both variants in resume tests and live-run final-context tests
Same predicate: absent / undefined Omit the key Older-runtime resume control tests absent key; explicit undefined has the same type branch
Same predicate: null, 0, "", "true" Omit the key, regardless of truthiness Four non-boolean resume controls
Same predicate: empty array/object, negative number, 1, maximum finite number Omit the key; no numeric threshold or indexing is involved No individual fixtures; same non-boolean branch as the controls, not a distinct numeric limit
Python published value: nonempty request, one waiter resolved Publish true Successful gateway test
Python published value: zero waiters, empty request ID, gateway exception Publish false Three separate negative tests; empty-ID test also checks no resolver call
Other call surface Same forwarding via live handleBridgeRun and reconnect resumeBridgeRun Both exports have true/false tests; tests drive stream and polling respectively, not every call site
Other producer path: interruption Existing reason-bearing event remains outcome-free Interruption control

Test-only guards and indexing also have observable checks: the prelude's if queue_request drives the queued and unregistered cases; its session match selects the newly installed request. Python event-list filters and TS event-name filters isolate the emitted event, then assert exactly one match before indexing [0]. Each regression variant asserts the actual boolean on that event. The choice/return-value assertions are supporting invariants, not claimed discriminators. The declared controls legitimately pass on base while asserting that an event was emitted; they are not substitutes for the eight boolean-propagation regression cases.

Maintainer's-eye notes

  • Idioms and scope: retaining older-runtime compatibility fits the touched module's recent #3018, which explicitly preserves old approval imports with a fallback. No new abstraction is needed for copying an already-computed field.
  • Test shape: recent outside contributions #3033 and #3112 pair focused source changes with server regression coverage; EKKOLearnAI#3033 extends this same final-context test file. #3131 also records a failing-before regression plus retained compatibility controls. This candidate follows that pattern.
  • Prior art: independently searched PRs for approval resolved and gateway approval, and issues for approval resolved. #2681 addresses exact waiter identity, not publishing the outcome; EKKOLearnAI#2135 addresses persistence. Issues EKKOLearnAI#2558 and EKKOLearnAI#2894 describe adjacent failure symptoms/conditions. I did not find a duplicate outcome-propagation fix in these results; this is not an exhaustive historical search.
  • Operator validation notes: DEVELOPMENT.md asks for focused tests plus npm run build, and Playwright coverage for browser-visible flows. The candidate reports server typechecking, not the full build. The client consumer was inspected but not executed: a bare resolved: false retains the matching card; it does not itself generate an expiry notification without stale or an expiry reason. A socket-mocked client regression would strengthen the user-facing claim, but the changed producer/forwarder contract already has direct tests. Do not describe this patch as fixing all expiry UX or runtime approval failures.
  • Submission shape: the proposed conventional fix: title fits EKKOLearnAI#3018/EKKOLearnAI#3131. Keep the upstream description concise about the bug and validation, as those merged PRs do. I found no reason here to demand a release-version change; EKKOLearnAI#3131 includes topic documentation, while EKKOLearnAI#3033 has no changelog file.

What's good: this reuses the existing computed outcome, preserves false rather than using truthiness, and tests both public forwarder entry points without unrelated refactoring.

Scope of review: full five-file diff, Python producer context, client consumer, call-site enumeration, upstream history and the PRs cited above. No test suite was run. gh pr checks reports no checks; the submitted A/B transcript is evidence supplied by the author, not an independently executed result from this review.

SECOND READ: READY

Drive the bridge forwarder over a runtime approval.resolved event and feed
what it emits to the chat store, so a failed gateway resolution is shown to
keep its approval card and reach the expiry notice. Add browser coverage for
what the card does with each outcome the forwarder can send.

The chat view dismisses an approval card as soon as the user answers, so a
failed gateway resolution arrives with nothing pending for the session and
clearPendingApproval takes its no-pending early return. That branch notifies
the user only when the event reports resolved false, which is what the
forwarder now sends; add the failing case and a successful-resolution control

Verification

Adversarial re-verification by a fresh run at head 534cf3c9ec069dcc43b66cd6f5ef5957e70ddc6b (previous verified head was 9daa0b3b; e70d31f3 answered the gating review and was never verified). The boundary ledger was rebuilt from the diff, not from the PR body.

The body's claims reproduce exactly

Before touching anything, I re-ran both arms of the A/B as the body describes them, at head e70d31f3:

$ npx vitest run tests/client/bridge-approval-outcome-contract.test.ts tests/server/run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts tests/server/run-chat-bridge-final-context.test.ts tests/server/agent-bridge-python-concurrency.test.ts
 Test Files  4 passed (4)
      Tests  99 passed (99)
   Duration  10.85s

$ git checkout 0cc8271e -- bridge_pool.py handle-bridge-run.ts   # tests kept
$ npx vitest run <the same four files>
 Test Files  4 failed (4)
      Tests  11 failed | 88 passed (99)
   Duration  11.73s

Same 11 named discriminators, four of them aborting with KeyError: 'resolved'. The body was accurate, not aspirational.

Hole found (1) — Boundaries row 24, closed by argument rather than by a test

The previous head's ledger listed row 24 — clearPendingApproval's no-pending early return (packages/client/src/stores/hermes/chat.ts:3275-3280) — as reachable with no test, and argued it away:

its behaviour is unchanged by the diff (it already required resolved === false, which base never sends; the diff makes it reachable rather than altering it)

That argument does not hold, in the same shape as the except Exception row this PR already fixed once: the diff publishes the very value that branch gates on, so the branch is squarely in the blast radius. "The diff makes it reachable" is the reason to test it, not the reason to skip it.

It is also not an exotic path. It is what the main chat view does on every approval:

  • MessageList.vue:368 → chatStore.respondApproval(choice)
  • chat.ts:3401 → if (result === 'submitted') dismissPendingApprovalFor(...) — the card is dismissed locally, on submit
  • the failed resolution then arrives with nothing pending, so clearPendingApproval takes the !current early return, which is the only branch that can still notify the user

On base that branch is dead, so the most common path through the UI is also the one that fails most silently.

Tests added (2), on the same branch

Test Kind Base arm
reports the expiry after the view already dismissed the card on submit discriminating fails: expected "spy" to be called 1 times, but got 0 times
stays silent after a submit-dismissed card resolves successfully (control) control passes — pins that the notice in the test above comes from the failure, not from the branch merely being reached

Both drive the real forwarder through resumeBridgeRun and feed what it emits to the real chat store, matching the file's existing convention. The discriminating one calls store.respondApproval('once') exactly as MessageList.vue does, so the store reaches the early return the way the app does.

Checked and clear

  • Source is untouched by all three test commits. git diff 027380b3 534cf3c9 -- packages/ is empty. My commit is tests only: git diff e70d31f3 534cf3c9 is 66 added lines in one tests/client file.
  • Reverse order of operations. The stale/expiry rows were driven both ways — card pending when the resolution lands (tests 16), and card already dismissed before it lands (test 21). Those are the two orders available on this path.
  • The other code path the fix claims to cover. Both exported entry points that reach applyBridgeChunkAsync are covered: handleBridgeRun (live run, tests 9–10) and resumeBridgeRun (rest). I confirmed by git grep that there is no third caller.
  • The other two approval.resolved emit sites in bridge_pool.py (lines 1426, 2156) remain outcome-free — test 8 pins that, and I re-read both.
  • replaceState shares the payload object with emit, so the stored state and the broadcast cannot disagree; no separate row needed.

Not executed at this head, and stated as such in the body

gh pr checks 1 --repo askalf/hermes-studio → no checks reported on the 'fix/bridge-approval-resolved-flag' branch. The fork's Actions are still pending an operator click, so that is an absence of runs rather than a failure.

The Playwright pair (tests 19–20) and npm run build were measured at e70d31f3 and are labelled historical with that sha in the body rather than restated as current: this container has no Chromium binary. The carry-over is sound — git diff e70d31f3 534cf3c9 -- tests/e2e is empty, no source file changed, and no tsconfig in the repo includes tests/, so no build stage reads the file I added. An operator with a browser can re-run the two e2e tests in ~14s.

Rules: private-fn-call-surfaces=covered(tests 9,10 vs 1,2 — both exported callers of applyBridgeChunkAsync) | multi-assert-base-arm=covered(the Python three-arm body was already split at 9daa0b3b; my two additions are one condition each) | ledger-row-needs-its-fixture=covered(row 24 now has test 21, the exact case rather than a nearby one) | control-returns-its-own-input=covered(the key-absent controls 3/18 assert 'resolved' in payload === false, a distinguishable outcome, not an unchanged echo) | mutate-the-rejected-alternatives=covered(the truthiness-guard alternative is killed by tests 1, 9, 15, 16, 21; the default-to-true alternative by controls 3 and 18) | unreachable-row-same-bytes=covered(rows 5 and 6 are unreachable by position — the changed line sits below an earlier return — not by byte-equality of outcomes)

Verdict: APPROVE — no blocking issues found; ready for the operator to submit.

I reviewed the three-line production diff, its Python producer and TypeScript forwarder context, both exported call surfaces (handleBridgeRun and resumeBridgeRun), and the client consumer’s pending and submit-dismissed branches. bridge_pool.py:2294 now publishes the already-computed boolean outcome, and handle-bridge-run.ts:1535-1536 preserves both true and the bug-critical false while retaining the legacy omitted-key payload for older runtimes. The focused tests cover producer outcomes, both forwarder surfaces, the store branches, and browser controls; the PR body supplies current head/base A/B output (12 discriminators fail on base and pass on head) plus a historical successful full build. Fork CI currently reports no checks, which the facts sheet accurately records.

What's good: this remains a minimal, single-bug change. The typeof ev.resolved === 'boolean' guard is the correct compatibility boundary: a truthiness guard would drop false and recreate the reported UI failure. The rework also closes the previously missing client path where submitting locally dismisses the card before a failed resolution reaches clearPendingApproval.

Notes for the operator:

  • Fork Actions are not enabled, so GitHub reports no PR checks. Enable Actions and run the relevant workflow(s) before upstream submission if available.
  • The upstream PR body should follow any upstream template requirements; this fork facts sheet already records the required technical evidence.

What I did not run locally: the repository test suite, build, and Playwright suite. Per the reviewer environment policy, I used the PR’s recorded executed A/B evidence and CI status rather than rerunning local suites.

Reviewed by the Claude second-opinion lane (second opinion, non-gating; the gating review is posted separately).

The production fix is sound on static inspection, but the test additions need submission-readiness cleanup.

Findings

Low — patch-history narration and review labels in shipped tests.

Exact examples from the added lines:

  • tests/client/bridge-approval-outcome-contract.test.ts:284-285: // The card is dismissed with or without the fix here; the forwarded true is / // what discriminates, so it is asserted first.
  • Same file, :308-309: // its \!current` early return — a branch that only notifies when the event/// says resolved === false, which is precisely what the forwarder now sends.` This also introduces an em dash.
  • Same file, :290 and :342: test names end in (control); :333-334 narrates the unfixed forwarder, and :340-341 again says with or without the fix.
  • tests/server/agent-bridge-python-concurrency.test.ts:1456 and tests/server/run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts:464: test names end in (control). The Python test's :1461-1463 comment explains what is untouched by the fix and holds on either arm.
  • tests/e2e/chat-streaming.spec.ts:1607-1611 explains the tests in terms of the forwarder fix and controls; :1612 and :1690 put (control) in the test names.

The new 368-line client test file also dwarfs the three-line production change. The cross-layer coverage has value, but comments arguing how the patch is verified belong in the evidence packet, not the permanent regression suite. These are concrete submission-readiness tells, not a claim that the boolean forwarding is incorrect. Keep the coverage while removing patch narration and investigating reuse of existing setup.

Suggested fix:

Rename controls after their contracts, e.g.:
  'ignores non-boolean approval outcomes'
  'dismisses approvals without an outcome'
  'does not notify after successful approval'
Remove before/after and control-accounting commentary from test files.
Keep only comments explaining otherwise non-obvious runtime setup.
Move discrimination accounting to the fork PR evidence; reuse existing
fixtures where feasible rather than deleting boundary assertions.

Boundaries rebuilt from the change

Changed element / input Fixed behavior Coverage read
Python event publishes the already computed boolean: queued waiter / zero waiters Publishes true / false Separate queued and never-registered Python cases
Empty request ID / gateway exception Publishes false Separate empty-ID and raising-gateway cases
Other approval path No new field at the separate interrupt emitter Interrupt control
typeof ev.resolved === 'boolean': true / false Preserves both, including falsy false Resume and live-run parameterized cases; client contract cases
Missing/undefined, null, zero, empty string, truthy string Omits field Legacy and four non-boolean resume cases
Negative / maximum number, empty array/object Also omitted by the same typeof guard; no numeric threshold exists Not individually tested; same non-boolean equivalence class
Client pending / already dismissed False preserves a non-stale pending card; a stale attempted failure notifies in either branch Pending failure, stale failure, submit-dismissed failure cases
Client true / absent field Existing dismissal or silent no-pending behavior Success, legacy, and submit-dismissed success cases

Test-helper filters and index lookups select one emitted approval.resolved event, with length assertions before accessing its payload. The Python helper's queue_request guard is exercised both ways. Server true/false variants assert the forwarded field, so neither variant silently becomes a base-passing success test. Browser tests inject the outcome directly and are compatibility checks, not proof that the producer/forwarder fix works.

The ticket's two questions: control 22 is distinct from control 18: it checks that a successful outcome does not notify after a locally dismissed submission even with stale metadata; control 18 checks legacy omission with a pending card. Retain both behaviors, without the (control) names. Historical browser/build transcripts labelled at e70d31f3 are honest evidence, not current-head CI. A test-only successor does not itself demonstrate a production regression; I would not demand a browser rerun solely for that reason, but the operator must not present those transcripts as runs at 534cf3c9.

Maintainer context and what's good

I confirmed the bug from base code: respond_approval computes and returns resolved but omits it from the emitted event, while the consumer explicitly distinguishes resolved === false. Publishing the existing result and preserving only booleans is appropriately scoped. It does not repair the wider approval lifecycle. In particular, the client expiry tests add stale/error after forwarding; they do not prove that the bridge alone emits expiry metadata.

Recent module history includes #3132, which uses a focused fix: title and dedicated regression coverage. The merged outside changes #3133 and #3131 likewise preserve explicit settings boundaries without unrelated refactors. The proposed upstream title fits that idiom. These examples do not establish a mandatory changelog requirement. Independent approval searches surfaced #2681, #2648, and #2135; I did not establish from search results alone that they duplicate this narrow field-propagation fix.

Scope: read the two source hunks, the server/browser additions and new client contract tests, relevant base producer/consumer code, commit messages, and upstream history/merged-PR summaries. No test suite was run. GitHub reports no checks for this branch; reported local results remain author evidence. I did not review unrelated repository code or other review bodies.

SECOND READ: NOT READY — remove patch-history narration, (control) test labels, and the added em dash from the shipped tests.

The added cases carried patch-history narration: test names ending in
(control), comments saying what holds with or without the change, and
accounting of which assertion discriminates. Name each case after the
behaviour it pins, fold the client and browser cases that differ only in
outcome into tables, and keep only the comments that explain runtime setup.
No assertion input is dropped.

Verification

Adversarial verification by a fresh run at head ca908be29b6ff7716fc9ccde837e0fb9f6340a35 (previous verified head was 534cf3c9; two intermediate commits, 94a1c92f a tests-only rename/fold answering a non-gating second-opinion review and ca908be2 a tests-only addition answering a third adversarial verification, were never separately labelled verified). The boundary ledger was rebuilt from the diff, not from the PR body.

Two prior verification segments on this candidate were cut off at the iteration cap: the first pushed ca908be2 (tests 23-26: the onEvent observer and replaceState/replayed-state outputs of the forwarder), wrote probes for two other consumers of the payload (group-chat store, voice relay) and drafted a reconciled body, but never labelled or filed reviews; the second resume attempt got only as far as claiming the ticket. This run re-ran everything itself rather than trusting the salvaged transcripts, per the team's standing rule.

What I ran, myself, at this head

Fresh worktree (npm ci --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund, 856 packages, ~19s):

$ npx vitest run tests/client/bridge-approval-outcome-contract.test.ts tests/server/run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts tests/server/agent-bridge-python-concurrency.test.ts tests/server/run-chat-bridge-final-context.test.ts
 Test Files  4 passed (4)
      Tests  105 passed (105)

Base arm (git checkout 0cc8271e -- bridge_pool.py handle-bridge-run.ts, same four files, tests kept):

 Test Files  4 failed (4)
      Tests  17 failed | 88 passed (105)

The 17 base failures are exactly the 17 discriminating rows the body claims: the 13 from the previously-verified head plus the 4 new ones added at ca908be2 (reports the bridge approval outcome to the run event observer for 'a failed/successful gateway resolution' and keeps the bridge approval outcome in the replayed run state for 'a failed/successful gateway resolution'). Restored with git checkout HEAD -- <the two paths>; git status --short clean afterward.

git diff 027380b3 ca908be2 -- packages/ is empty: every commit since the fix is tests-only.

Rebuilt boundary ledger and the new call surfaces

applyBridgeChunkAsync's emit closure has three consumers of the one payload object: the socket broadcast, the onEvent observer callback (sockets/chat-run.ts:1622, feeding observeChatRunWebhookEvent and emitPendingInteraction/foregroundNotification), and replaceState into state.events (replayed to a reconnecting client via buildResumeEvents, read by the app-event subscription at sockets/chat-run.ts:748). Every test through 94a1c92f read only the broadcast. I confirmed by reading foreground-notification.ts directly that foregroundNotification() returns null when event.endsWith('.resolved') && value.resolved === false, so on base a failed approval reaching that function (with no resolved key) does NOT return null and would push a "resolved" notice to a phone — the new tests 23/24 pin this by asserting foregroundNotification('approval.resolved', observed[0][1], 10) !== null matches the outcome. I also read compression.ts's replaceState/pushState and confirmed resume-payload.ts's buildResumeEvents is what a reconnecting client's replay goes through.

Mutant of the forwarder's guard (the single most important line in the diff): reverted typeof ev.resolved === 'boolean' to a truthiness check (ev.resolved ? ... : {}) and re-ran the three files that exercise it:

killed by (among others) both new tests (reports the bridge approval outcome to the run event observer for 'a failed gateway resolution' and keeps the bridge approval outcome in the replayed run state for 'a failed gateway resolution'), confirming the observer and replayed-state rows are pinned by a mutant that reintroduces the exact bug, not merely by failing on base.

Two consumers outside the diff's blast radius, probed not tested

The body lists two further consumers reached by the same payload shape but not routed through by this diff (group-chat store, voice relay), measured on both arms rather than tested since their existing code already pins the resolved === false gate independently. I re-ran both probes myself in this worktree (not by trusting the saved transcripts):

$ npx vitest run tests/client/zz-probe-group.test.ts  # copied in, removed after
PROBE group-chat store no resolved key: pending before=1 after=0
PROBE group-chat store resolved false: pending before=1 after=1
PROBE group-chat store resolved true: pending before=1 after=0
Tests  3 passed (3)

$ npx vitest run tests/server/zz-probe-relay.test.ts  # copied in, removed after
PROBE voice relay no resolved key: [{"type":"tool.completed","interactionId":"voice-1","tool":"approval"}]
PROBE voice relay resolved false: [{"type":"tool.completed","interactionId":"voice-1","tool":"approval","error":"approval failed"}]
PROBE voice relay resolved true: [{"type":"tool.completed","interactionId":"voice-1","tool":"approval"}]
Tests  3 passed (3)

Both byte-identical to the salvaged transcripts. git status --short clean after removing the probe files.

Typecheck and fork CI

gh pr checks 1 --repo sprayberry-code/hermes-studio at this head:

build   pass   5m18s   https://github.com/sprayberry-code/hermes-studio/actions/runs/35940638067/job/107447538421
e2e     pass   11m34s  https://github.com/sprayberry-code/hermes-studio/actions/runs/35940638064/job/107447538023

Both green, no non-green job. The build workflow ran npm run test:coverage (Test Files 693 passed | 7 skipped (700)) and completed npm run build; the e2e workflow ran the whole Playwright suite in Chromium (212 passed), which includes the two approval-card browser tests carried as controls in the body.

Prior art re-checked at the gate

origin/main is now at a485b57d (21 commits ahead of base). git log origin/main -S"resolved" -- <the two changed files> shows no commit touching either file's resolved handling since base. Issues EKKOLearnAI#2558 and EKKOLearnAI#2756 (cited by the body as the two failure conditions) are both still OPEN. No superseding upstream fix landed.

Body

The PR body was stale (still described head 94a1c92f, 22/13/9 tests). Updated to describe head ca908be2 (26/17/9 tests, the onEvent-observer and replayed-state rows, the two probed-not-tested consumer rows, and the fork CI results above) via gh pr edit --body-file.

Result

Everything holds: 105/105 at head, 88/105 (17 failing) at base, the truthiness mutant killed including by both new tests, both extra-consumer probes reproduced, tsc clean, fork CI green on both workflows, no source change since the fix commit, no superseding upstream fix.

Rules: reads-as-generated=covered(body/test-count reconciled to head, 26 tests against a 3-line/2-file diff across 5 files, each row traces to a specific test) | no-control-cases-in-the-suite=covered(all 9 declared controls re-verified passing on base per their own base-arm run, each with a distinct stated job) | mutate-the-rejected-alternatives=covered(truthiness-guard mutant, the alternative the Fix section's longest rejection paragraph names, killed by 8 tests including both new ones) | ledger-row-needs-its-fixture=covered(rows 16b/16c each own a dedicated fixture and test, not folded behind a nearby one) | prior-art-recheck-at-gate=covered(origin/main re-fetched to a485b57, -S search over the two changed files since base, both cited issues re-checked OPEN) | run-every-ci-step-not-just-the-red-one=covered(gh pr checks read in full: build and e2e both green, no step skipped) | comment-cites-its-own-review=covered(diff scanned for review/PR/issue numbers and gate words in added test lines, none found) | idempotence-test-asserts-only-agreement=unreachable(no round-trip or repeated-call test in this diff) | side-effect-change-needs-its-test=unreachable(no change to what a value is computed from, only to whether it is published) | static-row-vs-alias-stub=unreachable(no row declared static; group-chat/voice-relay rows are measured probes, not stubbed)

Verdict: APPROVE at head ca908be29b6ff7716fc9ccde837e0fb9f6340a35. No blocking findings; ready for the operator to submit.

What changed since my last verdict (534cf3c9, approved)

git diff 534cf3c9...ca908be2 touches five test files and no source file; git diff 027380b3 ca908be2 -- packages/ is empty, so the three-line production fix I already traced (bridge_pool.py:2294 "resolved": resolved, and handle-bridge-run.ts:1535-1536 ...(typeof ev.resolved === 'boolean' ? { resolved: ev.resolved } : {})) is byte-identical to what I approved. I re-read the full head diff rather than only the delta.

  • 94a1c92f (tests only): removes the (control) suffixes, the "with or without the fix" / "on the unfixed forwarder" narration and the "asserted first" accounting from the client, e2e and Python tests, and folds same-shape cases into it.each tables. Every assertion input from the previous head is still present; I compared the removed blocks against the new table rows in tests/client/bridge-approval-outcome-contract.test.ts:224-292.
  • ca908be2 (tests only): adds four cases for the two forwarder outputs no previous test read. tests/server/run-chat-bridge-resume.test.ts:790-864 feeds the onEvent observer and asserts foregroundNotification('approval.resolved', observed[0][1], 10) !== null equals the expected outcome; tests/server/run-chat-bridge-final-context.test.ts:646-701 asserts the replaceState call carries resolved.

What I verified

  • Live-head gate. Head ca908be2 differs from my standing verdict commit 534cf3c9; this is a fresh review of the live head.
  • Facts sheet. All ten required sections present and reconciled to ca908be2 (the ## Upstream block lists all six commits; ## Verification method quotes the fork CI run ids for both workflows at this head).
  • Bug real on upstream main today. handle-bridge-run.ts:1557-1563 on EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio@main still builds the approval.resolved payload from run_id, approval_id, choice only, so the fix has not landed upstream since the base sha.
  • New tests discriminate. Traced foregroundNotification at this head (foreground-notification.ts:5: if (event.endsWith('.resolved') && (value.resolved === false || value.stale === true)) return null). On base the observer payload has no resolved key, so the failed-resolution variant returns a notification object and the .toBe(false) assertion fails; on head it returns null. The successful variant fails on base through toMatchObject({ resolved: true }) against a payload with no key. Same shape for the replaceState pair. The verification comment's base arm (17 failed | 88 passed, 13 prior + these 4) matches that trace.
  • Boundaries. The one new predicate, typeof ev.resolved === 'boolean', is pinned for true, false, key absent, null, 0, '' and 'true'; both exported entry points (handleBridgeRun, resumeBridgeRun) and all three consumers of the emitted payload (socket broadcast, onEvent, replaceState) now have a test. The Python side pins queued, never-registered, empty request_id, raising gateway, and the interrupt path.
  • CI. gh pr checks 1: build pass 5m18s, e2e pass 11m34s at this head.
  • Prior art, re-run. gh pr list --repo EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio --state open --search "approval" returns EKKOLearnAI#2135, EKKOLearnAI#2455, EKKOLearnAI#3087, EKKOLearnAI#2339, EKKOLearnAI#2233; none touches the approval.resolved payload. No open PR for this bug.
  • Policy and hygiene. No CONTRIBUTING, CLA, DCO or AI policy in the upstream (404s confirmed in the body; AGENTS.md is an agent map). Commit messages and title carry no model name, no Co-Authored-By, no em dash; commit style matches the upstream's lowercase fix: / test: convention. Branch fix/bridge-approval-resolved-flag follows DEVELOPMENT.md's codex/fix-login-token shape.
  • Tell pass over the diff, test names, comments, commit messages and title: no em dashes, no (control), no "with or without the fix", no "previously", no "ensure"/"gracefully"/"robust", no sleeps, no restating comments.

Notes for the operator (non-blocking)

  1. The upstream repository has been renamed. gh api repos/EKKOLearnAI/hermes-studio now resolves to EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio (GitHub redirects the old name). Open the upstream PR against EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio and update the ## Upstream line in your body; the fork's base sha and the bug are unaffected.
  2. Upstream issue EKKOLearnAI#2894 ("审批点击确认后立即超时 ... bool(gateway_request_id) 条件导致 resolve_gateway_approval 未被调用", open) describes the EKKOLearnAI#2756 condition from the user's side and is not cited in the body. Worth adding alongside EKKOLearnAI#2558 and EKKOLearnAI#2756 in the upstream description.
  3. Test volume: 26 tests and roughly 920 added lines for a 3-line fix, across five files. Each case pins a distinct boundary or consumer and the narration is gone, but a maintainer skimming the file list may ask to trim; be ready to say which consumer each file covers (server forwarder x2 surfaces, Python broadcast, client store, browser card).
  4. tests/client/bridge-approval-outcome-contract.test.ts:2-4 opens with a three-line file comment explaining why the server forwarder is driven from a client test. It reads as setup rationale, not patch history, and I did not block on it; if the maintainer prefers bare files, it can go.

What's good

The production change is still the minimal honest fix: publish the outcome the Python side already computed, forward it only when the runtime reports a boolean so older runtimes keep their current shape. The test rework answered both prior review rounds without dropping an input, and the last commit closed the two outputs (onEvent, replayed state) that every earlier test had missed.
