Problem: When calling send_agent_prompt on an agent that already has an
active run, it errored with "Agent {id} already has an active run"
instead of interrupting and sending the prompt (like the app does).
Solution: Modified the send_agent_prompt MCP handler in mcp-server.ts to:
- Check if agent has an active run (lifecycle === "running" || pendingRun)
- If running, call cancelAgentRun() to interrupt the current run
- Poll wait (max 5s, 50ms interval) for agent to become idle
- Then start the new run
This matches the behavior of session.ts:interruptAgentIfRunning().
The polling wait is necessary because cancelAgentRun() only initiates
cancellation (fires and forgets via void promise.catch()) and doesn't
wait for the pendingRun to be cleared.
Added E2E test "send_agent_prompt interrupts running agent and processes
new message" that verifies the fix works correctly.

# Plan
|
||
|
||
## Context
|
||
|
||
Build a new Codex MCP provider side‑by‑side with the existing Codex SDK provider. The new provider lives in `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/codex-mcp-agent.ts` and is selected via a new provider id (e.g. `codex-mcp`). All testing is **E2E only** (no mocks/fakes). Use `/Users/moboudra/dev/voice-dev/.tmp/happy-cli/src/codex/` as reference for MCP + elicitation.
|
||
|
||
## CRITICAL RULES - READ BEFORE EVERY TASK
|
||
|
||
1. **NO VAGUE REPORTS**: Never say "test hung", "was interrupted", "failed locally" without:
|
||
|
||
- The EXACT error message or stack trace
|
||
- The SPECIFIC line of code causing the issue
|
||
- A concrete hypothesis for the root cause
|
||
|
||
2. **NO SKIPPING/DISABLING TESTS**: Skipping tests, adding `.skip`, or "opt-in gating" is **NOT ACCEPTABLE**. Fix the actual problem. If a test hangs, find out WHY and fix the code, not the test.
|
||
|
||
3. **NO WORKAROUNDS**: Adding timeouts, fallbacks, or "defensive" code that hides bugs is forbidden. The code must work correctly, not appear to work.
|
||
|
||
4. **INVESTIGATE DEEPLY**: When something fails:
|
||
|
||
- Read the actual source code
|
||
- Add debug logging if needed
|
||
- Trace the exact execution path
|
||
- Find the ROOT CAUSE, not symptoms
|
||
|
||
5. **BE SPECIFIC**: Every "Done" entry must include:
|
||
- What the actual problem was (specific)
|
||
- What code was changed (file:line)
|
||
- How you verified it works
|
||
|
||
## Completed Work (Compacted)
|
||
|
||
### Codex MCP Provider (2025-12-24)
|
||
|
||
- ✅ Created `codex-mcp-agent.ts` with MCP stdio client, event mapping, permissions, persistence, abort handling
|
||
- ✅ Fixed model availability (removed hardcoded gpt-4.1), permission elicitation, exit code handling
|
||
- ✅ Fixed thread/item event mapping for file_change, mcp_tool_call, web_search, todo_list
|
||
- ✅ Fixed persistence to include conversationId metadata
|
||
- ✅ Resolved Codex MCP vs Codex SDK elicitation parity (CRITICAL FINDING: `codex exec` ignores approval events)
|
||
- ✅ All 14 Codex MCP unit tests pass; Codex is now the only provider (deprecated SDK provider removed)
|
||
- Reports: `CODEX_MCP_MISMATCH_REPORT.md`, `REPORT-codex-mcp-audit.md`
|
||
|
||
### UI/UX Fixes (2025-12-25)
|
||
|
||
- ✅ Removed duplicate "Codex MCP" option - now shows only "Codex"
|
||
- ✅ Fixed duplicate user/assistant messages (provider was emitting, but agent-manager already dispatches)
|
||
- ✅ Fixed Codex agent-control MCP parity with Claude (added MCP servers to Codex config)
|
||
- ✅ Fixed agent timestamp not updating on click without interaction
|
||
|
||
### DaemonClient Implementation (2025-12-25)
|
||
|
||
- ✅ Created `packages/server/src/server/test-utils/daemon-client.ts` (~550 lines)
|
||
- ✅ Created `packages/server/src/server/test-utils/daemon-test-context.ts`
|
||
- ✅ Created `packages/server/src/server/daemon.e2e.test.ts` (25 passing tests)
|
||
- Reports: `REPORT-daemon-client-design.md`, `REPORT-daemon-e2e-audit.md`, `REPORT-claude-permission-tests.md`
|
||
|
||
**DaemonClient API:**
|
||
|
||
- Connection: `connect()`, `close()`
|
||
- Agent lifecycle: `createAgent()`, `deleteAgent()`, `listAgents()`, `listPersistedAgents()`, `resumeAgent()`
|
||
- Agent interaction: `sendMessage()`, `cancelAgent()`, `setAgentMode()`, `initializeAgent()`, `clearAgentAttention()`
|
||
- Permissions: `respondToPermission()`, `waitForPermission()`
|
||
- Git: `getGitDiff()`, `getGitRepoInfo()`
|
||
- Files: `exploreFileSystem()`
|
||
- Models: `listProviderModels()`
|
||
- Waiting: `waitForAgentIdle()`
|
||
- Events: `on()`, `getMessageQueue()`, `clearMessageQueue()`
|
||
|
||
**E2E Test Coverage:**
|
||
|
||
- Basic flow (Codex + Claude): create agent, send message, verify response
|
||
- Permissions (Codex + Claude): approve/deny, permission_requested/resolved cycle
|
||
- Persistence: delete agent, resume from handle, verify conversation context
|
||
- Multi-agent: parent creates child via agent-control MCP
|
||
- Agent management: cancelAgent, setAgentMode, listAgents
|
||
- Timestamp: verify clicking agent doesn't update timestamp
|
||
- Git: diff (staged/unstaged/modified), repo info (branch, dirty state)
|
||
- Files: list directory, read file content
|
||
- Models: list Codex and Claude provider models
|
||
- Images: single and multiple image attachments to Claude
|
||
|
||
## Tasks
|
||
|
||
- [x] **BUG (MCP)**: `send_agent_prompt` errors when agent already running.
|
||
- **Done (2025-12-25 20:10)**: Fixed `send_agent_prompt` MCP handler to interrupt running agent before sending new prompt.
|
||
|
||
**WHAT**:
|
||
- Modified `packages/server/src/server/agent/mcp-server.ts:418-463`
|
||
- Added check for `snapshot.lifecycle === "running" || snapshot.pendingRun` at start of `send_agent_prompt` handler
|
||
- If running: calls `agentManager.cancelAgentRun(agentId)` to interrupt
|
||
- Added polling wait (max 5s, 50ms interval) for agent to become idle after cancellation
|
||
- Matches behavior of `session.ts:interruptAgentIfRunning()`
|
||
|
||
**WHY**:
|
||
- The error `"Agent {id} already has an active run"` came from `agent-manager.ts:454` in `streamAgent()`
|
||
- The MCP handler was calling `startAgentRun` without checking/cancelling existing runs
|
||
- `cancelAgentRun` only initiates cancellation (fires and forgets), doesn't wait for `pendingRun` to clear
|
||
- Polling wait ensures generator fully terminates before starting new run
|
||
|
||
**TEST**:
|
||
- Added E2E test `packages/server/src/server/agent/agent-mcp.e2e.test.ts`: "send_agent_prompt interrupts running agent and processes new message"
|
||
- Test creates agent, sends prompt in background mode, then sends second prompt while first is running
|
||
- Verifies no "already has an active run" error is returned
|
||
|
||
**VERIFICATION**:
|
||
- Test passes: `npx vitest run packages/server/src/server/agent/agent-mcp.e2e.test.ts --testNamePattern "send_agent_prompt interrupts"`
|
||
- Server typecheck passes: `npm run typecheck` (server package)
|
||
- Unit tests pass: `npx vitest run src/server/agent/mcp-server.test.ts`
|
||
|
||
- [ ] **BUG (Server)**: Claude streaming sends incomplete chunks to long-running agents.
|
||
|
||
**Context**: From app-side investigation (`REPORT-garbled-text-bug.md`), the server is sending incomplete text chunks. Bug appears in LONG-RUNNING agents during streaming, NOT new agent creation (E2E test passes for new agents).
|
||
|
||
**REQUIREMENTS (TDD)**:
|
||
1. **First**: Write a failing E2E test that:
|
||
- Creates a long-running Claude agent (multiple back-and-forth messages)
|
||
- Sends a new message
|
||
- Captures `agent_stream` timeline events
|
||
- Asserts text chunks are complete and coherent
|
||
2. **Second**: Fix the root cause in `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/`
|
||
3. **Third**: Verify the test passes
|
||
|
||
**Files to investigate**:
|
||
- `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/claude-agent.ts` - Claude streaming implementation
|
||
- Check if there's a state accumulation bug that manifests over time
|
||
|
||
- [x] **BUG (App-side)**: Claude assistant text garbled in React Native app rendering.
|
||
- **Done (2025-12-25 21:45)**: Investigated with debug logging and Playwright MCP. **App-side code is NOT the cause.** See `REPORT-garbled-text-bug.md` for full analysis.
|
||
|
||
**INVESTIGATION SUMMARY**:
|
||
1. Added debug logging to `appendAssistantMessage` - state transitions are correct
|
||
2. Reproduced bug via Playwright MCP on `localhost:8081`
|
||
3. Console logs show chunks received by client are already incomplete (e.g., " a" + "check error" instead of " a" + "type" + "check error")
|
||
4. Client-side Zustand state updates work correctly - no race condition
|
||
5. FlatList renders `item.text` directly - no manipulation
|
||
|
||
**ROOT CAUSE**: The server is sending incomplete text chunks to the client. The E2E test passes because it tests NEW agent creation; the bug appears in LONG-RUNNING agents during streaming.
|
||
|
||
**NEXT STEPS**: Investigate server-side Claude agent streaming (NOT app-side):
|
||
- `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/` - Claude agent streaming implementation
|
||
- Add server-side logging to compare Claude API output vs what's sent to clients
|
||
|
||
- [x] **BUG**: Claude agent assistant text is garbled/corrupted during streaming.
|
||
- **Done (2025-12-25 20:15)**: Added E2E test `daemon.e2e.test.ts:1760-1881` that verifies server-side streaming text integrity. **Test passes** - server sends clean, non-corrupted text chunks. The bug is NOT on the server side.
|
||
|
||
**INVESTIGATION RESULT**:
|
||
- Server-side data is clean (verified via E2E test)
|
||
- Each `assistant_message` timeline event contains correct text delta
|
||
- Text chunks are properly accumulated in order
|
||
- Bug must be in React Native app rendering layer (`packages/app`)
|
||
|
||
**App-side code reviewed (no obvious bugs found)**:
|
||
- `packages/app/src/types/stream.ts:216-244`: `appendAssistantMessage` correctly appends to last assistant message
|
||
- `packages/app/src/contexts/session-context.tsx:698-718`: Zustand functional updates for state management
|
||
- `packages/app/src/components/agent-stream-view.tsx`: FlatList rendering of stream items
|
||
|
||
**ALSO FIXED**: Removed duplicate `DropdownField` import in `create-agent-modal.tsx:66` that was causing build errors.
|
||
|
||
**NEXT STEPS** (for follow-up task):
|
||
1. Test in actual React Native app to observe garbled text reproduction
|
||
2. Check for React concurrent rendering issues with rapid state updates
|
||
3. Investigate FlatList virtualization edge cases
|
||
4. Consider adding debug logging to `appendAssistantMessage` in production to capture actual state transitions
|
||
|
||
- [x] **REFACTOR**: Remove module-level `SESSION_HISTORY` Map from `codex-mcp-agent.ts`.
|
||
- **Done (2025-12-25 19:28)**: Removed `SESSION_HISTORY` global Map and refactored to use instance-level `persistedHistory` field.
|
||
|
||
**WHAT**:
|
||
- Removed `SESSION_HISTORY` Map declaration (was at `codex-mcp-agent.ts:118`)
|
||
- Constructor: now sets `historyPending = true` for resume instead of looking up `SESSION_HISTORY.get()` (`codex-mcp-agent.ts:2564-2565`)
|
||
- `connect()`: simplified condition to always load from disk when resuming (`codex-mcp-agent.ts:2606-2608`)
|
||
- `loadPersistedHistoryFromDisk()`: removed `SESSION_HISTORY.set()` line (`codex-mcp-agent.ts:2629-2639`)
|
||
- `recordHistory()`: appends to `this.persistedHistory` instead of `SESSION_HISTORY` (`codex-mcp-agent.ts:3147-3152`)
|
||
- `flushPendingHistory()`: appends to `this.persistedHistory` instead of `SESSION_HISTORY` (`codex-mcp-agent.ts:3155-3160`)
|
||
|
||
**RESULT**: Typecheck passes. Persistence E2E test "persists session metadata and resumes with history" passes (8.3s). The test now exercises disk loading since there's no global Map to provide in-memory history. Net change: -12 lines.
|
||
|
||
**NOTE**: Two flaky tests ("maps thread/item events..." and "captures tool call inputs/outputs...") also failed before this change - they depend on LLM choosing to call MCP tools/web search which is non-deterministic.
