Closes #5190.

What broke

A stage that failed two rubric checks over the same session showed the first with its session list underneath and the second as plain text with nothing to click. From the screenshot on the original report:

Rubric check "Final message non-empty" failed
1 of 1 session
  [ Session 1   (no preview) ]      <- row 0 gets the list

Rubric check "Calls create_view" failed
1 of 1 session
                                     <- row 1 gets nothing

Two findings, one session, one way in. That is a large part of what "none of the sessions link to anything" was describing.

The issue's stated cause was wrong

Worth saying plainly, since the issue text says otherwise (corrected in a comment there).

rubricEvidence() not emitting a sessionId is real but inert. The "Open source session →" button it would feed is gated on !canListSessions, and canListSessions is Boolean(sessionScope && onOpenSession) — always true on swarm. That button exists for surfaces with no session scope; it is unreachable here by design, not by omission. Emitting the id would have changed nothing on screen.

The actual cause

const sessionsAreExpandable = canShowSessions && sessionCount > 1;
// …
{canShowSessions && … && (sessionsAreExpandable ? expanded : i === 0) ? stageSessions : null}

That rule was written for the empty-stage footer — "a single session is a link rather than something to expand" — and reused for the evidence rows. Over one session it collapses to i === 0, so only the first finding renders a list.

The change

One line of logic: several findings earn the toggle even over a single session.

  • A lone finding over a lone session still shows its session directly, no toggle.
  • More than one session behaves exactly as before.
  • The empty-stage footer cannot be reached by the new clause — it only renders when the stage has no evidence at all, where evidence.length > 1 is false by construction.

Not in scope

FindingsGoalSessions calls onOpenSession(session._id) with one argument while handleOpenSession takes (sessionId, criterionId), so the "Following finding:" banner never appears when arriving from a stage list. Real, but it needs the criterion id threaded from the evidence row — which means rubricEvidence carrying criterionId — so it belongs in its own change rather than riding along here.

Verification

Tests written first; the two-findings case was confirmed failing (0 toggles where 2 are expected) and the lone-finding control passed throughout, which is what it should do.

Check Result
npm run docs:check-tokens exit 0
npm run typecheck exit 0
npm run typecheck:client -w @mcpjam/inspector exit 0
swarm client tests (48 files) 600 passed, exit 0
full client vitest project 15815 passed, 33 skipped (1383 files), exit 0

npm test at the root is not usable on this machine (stale evaluators/dist chunk plus ERR_IPC_CHANNEL_CLOSED under memory pressure, in workspaces this diff does not touch). The full client project above is the blast radius. E2E not run — no routing, app boot or OAuth debugger changes.

Relation to the other open PRs

Independent of #5193, #5194 and #5196. It touches findings-goal-inspect.tsx; #5193 touches findings-derivation.ts. They compose: #5193 stops a run that never executed from producing rubric rows at all, and this makes the rows a real run does produce reachable.


Summary by cubic

Fixes #5190 by letting every finding on a stage reach its sessions. Previously only the first finding exposed sessions when several shared one session; now each finding opens the list, while a lone finding still links directly and stages with multiple sessions behave as before.

  • The issue's stated cause is inert: emitting a sessionId from rubricEvidence would change nothing because the button it feeds is unreachable whenever a session scope exists.
  • Applies to Findings on a Swarm run and Findings on a User Testing scenario, and adds regression coverage plus a patch changeset.
  • One visible change: with several findings over one session, the first row's list previously rendered with no collapse control; it is now a toggle that starts open, so opening the second finding closes the first.
  • The "Following finding:" banner remains out of scope; it needs the criterion id threaded from the evidence row, which belongs in its own change.

Written for commit 005d111. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

A stage that failed two rubric checks over the same session rendered the
first with its session list underneath and the second as plain text with
nothing to click. On the run that opened #5190, `Rubric check "Final
message non-empty" failed` had `Session 1` under it and `Rubric check
"Calls create_view" failed`, immediately below, had nothing — which is
what "none of the sessions link to anything" looked like.

The rule was written for the empty-stage footer — one session is a link
rather than something to expand — and reused for the evidence rows,
where it means only row 0 renders the list. Over a single session every
row after the first lost its only way in.

Several findings now earn the toggle even over one session. A lone
finding over a lone session still shows its session directly. The
empty-stage footer cannot be reached by the new clause: it renders only
when the stage has no evidence at all.

Note the issue's stated cause was wrong, and this does not fix it that
way: rubricEvidence emitting a sessionId would change nothing, because
the "Open source session" link it would feed is gated on
`!canListSessions`, which is always false when a sessionScope exists —
i.e. always, on swarm. The reachable path was the session list, and the
gap was which rows got one.

Closes #5190.

Reviewed from a detached worktree at the PR head (53d8dc2). CI is fully green and the branch is MERGEABLE but BEHIND main, so it will need an update before merge.

What I verified against source

Both load-bearing claims in the description hold:

  • The footer cannot be reached by the new clause. The footer and the evidence rows are opposite arms of stageModel.evidence.length > 0 ? ... : ..., so evidence.length > 1 is false by construction inside the footer branch. Nothing to worry about there.
  • The sessionId diagnosis really is inert. The "Open source session" button is gated on !canListSessions (findings-goal-inspect.tsx:331), and both call sites always pass sessionScope and onOpenSession. Emitting the id from rubricEvidence() would not have put anything on screen. The correction on Swarms: rubric findings can never link to the session they failed on #5190 is right.

One small over-claim with no consequence: "canListSessions is always true on swarm" is not literal, since sessionScope is undefined when projectId is falsy (swarm-findings-tab.tsx:66). In that state nothing session-related renders anyway and the new clause is still guarded by canShowSessions, so the conclusion stands.

Worth knowing

1. The change is not swarm-only. The title, body and changeset all say "swarm stage", but FindingsGoalInspect is reached through FindingsPersonaCard, which has two consumers:

  • swarm-findings-tab.tsx:146 (Swarm run detail, Findings)
  • scenario-findings-tab.tsx:320 (User Testing scenario detail, Findings)

Both pass sessionScope and onOpenSession, so both surfaces get the new toggles. That is almost certainly the right outcome, since it is the same bug in both places, but the changeset ships to users describing it as swarm-only. Mild consolation: the new tests render with sessionScope={{ kind: "scenario", ... }}, so the scenario shape is what is actually exercised.

Your call whether to reword the changeset here or leave it.

2. Row zero's list becomes closable. In the one-session, several-findings case, row zero's session list used to be permanently rendered (the i === 0 branch has no toggle and no way to collapse it). It is now a toggle that starts open, and because the panel is a single-open accordion, opening finding #2 closes finding #1. Same content on first paint, and I think it is the correct behaviour, but it is a visible change the description does not call out. Possibly worth a line in the changeset.

3. The expanded list stays stage-scoped, not finding-scoped. Each row mounts the same stageSessions element, which asks useGoalOutcomeDrilldown for the stage's sessions. On a stage with three findings over three different sessions, every toggle opens the same list of all three. Harmless in the one-session case this PR fixes, and already true wherever sessionCount > 1, so this PR neither causes nor worsens it. Noting it so nobody reads the new toggles as promising per-finding narrowing.

Follow-ups

Both of these are yours to route: fold into this PR, or file as separate tickets, whichever you prefer. Neither should block the merge in my view.

a. The criterionId threading you flagged as out of scope. Agreed that it is real and agreed it is separate: FindingsGoalSessions calls onOpenSession(session._id) with one argument while handleOpenSession takes (sessionId, criterionId), so the "Following finding:" banner never appears when arriving from a stage list. It needs rubricEvidence to carry criterionId, which is a wider change than this one.

b. CodeRabbit's test suggestion is still live on the current head. It asks the test to seed the drilldown mock with a session, expand both rows and assert onOpenSession fires for each. The test as written asserts toggle count only, which does guard the exact thing that regressed, so I would not call it a gap. The stronger version would additionally cover the click path.

Duplicate check

Not a duplicate, and no predecessor. Searching the repo's PRs for sessionsAreExpandable returns only this one. Independent of #5193, #5194 and #5196 as you say, which the diff confirms: this touches findings-goal-inspect.tsx only.

How I would eyeball it

Preview, not local: https://mcp-inspector-pr-5202.up.railway.app. Its deployed commit 8c728cd is the merge of 53d8dc2 into base, so it does contain the fix despite the two SHAs differing in the preview comment.

Findings tab, expand a goal, then find a stage with two or more finding rows whose header pill reads 1 session. Before: only the first row has a list. After: every row has a chevron, first one open. A lone finding over a lone session correctly still shows no chevron.

Overall: correct diagnosis, one-line fix, regression test plus a control for the case that must not change. Looks good to me pending the branch update.

The test for "every finding reaches its sessions" seeded the drilldown with
`sessions: []` and asserted only that two toggles rendered. Three things it
was meant to cover could break without it going red: a toggle that expands
to an empty list, a session row that renders but wires no handler, and
`onOpenSession` never reaching the caller. It now seeds one session, expands
each finding in turn — the panel opens one row at a time, so the second
closes the first — clicks the session and asserts the id that came back.

The changeset claimed the fix was swarm-only. `FindingsPersonaCard` is
mounted by both `swarm-findings-tab.tsx` and `scenario-findings-tab.tsx`,
and both pass `sessionScope` and `onOpenSession`, so Findings on a User
Testing scenario gets the new toggles too. It also skipped a visible
change: with several findings over one session, row zero's session list used
to render with no way to collapse it, and it is now a toggle that starts
open, so opening the second finding closes the first.

Approving — a634db5

One line of logic, and the diagnosis behind it is the valuable part. Correcting the issue's stated cause in the issue itself, rather than quietly fixing something else, is the right way to handle "the report named the wrong thing" — and the correction holds: Open source session → is gated on !canListSessions, and canListSessions is Boolean(sessionScope && onOpenSession), which is always true on swarm. Emitting a sessionId from rubricEvidence() really would have changed nothing on screen.

I checked the change against the four combinations and the shared-variable risk, since sessionsAreExpandable feeds two places:

evidence sessions before after
1 1 row 0 shows its session, no toggle unchanged
2+ 1 row 0 shows the list, row 1 dead both rows get a toggle
any 2+ toggles unchanged
any 0 no control unchanged (canShowSessions false)

The footer claim checks out exactly. The second consumer at line 361 lives inside the : ( branch of stageModel.evidence.length > 0 ? … : …, so it only renders when there is no evidence at all — and in that branch stageModel.evidence.length > 1 is necessarily false, leaving sessionsAreExpandable reduced to the old sessionCount > 1. The two consumers are mutually exclusive, so widening the condition cannot reach the empty-stage footer. That was the regression I went looking for and it isn't there.

And the fix actually lands, not just the flag. With sessionsAreExpandable true the per-row branch renders a real control — aria-expanded, a rotating chevron, and onClick={() => setOpenEvidence(expanded ? -1 : i)} — so row 1 is genuinely reachable rather than merely no longer special-cased.

The test earns its keep: gives every finding a way in when one session backs several of them walks each row through the toggle all the way to the onOpenSession callback with the session id, rather than asserting two buttons exist. A toggle that renders but lists nothing would have passed the weaker version, and the comment says so.

Verified locally at this head: all three findings/__tests__ suites pass, 19/19. Prettier clean on both changed files.

The one red check is main's

Inspector Tests 2/6 fails on the em-dash ratchet, naming components/shared/usage-insights/ExplanatoryFlowOptIn.tsx: 2, allowed 1 and hooks/use-run-insights.ts: 2, allowed 1 — neither touched here. I ran the same test on origin/main (318f5f590) and got the identical two entries with the identical counts, so it is inherited, not yours. Someone needs to either reword that copy or raise those two ratchet entries on main.


Approving. Not merging, per instruction — the branch is also BEHIND main and will want an update first.

Swarms: rubric findings can never link to the session they failed on
