Tip

PR walkthrough: Open the visual walkthrough

Delayed WebSocket acknowledgements could leave session entry showing an empty conversation or a generic session-start failure while the backend was still handling the request. This change keeps cached chat access available, bounds recovery, and reports retryable status and history failures with truthful actions.

Important Changes

  • Add bounded subscription and status recovery with subscription-before-history ordering and cache preservation.
  • Fence history feedback and finalization against stale session, connection, and attempt generations across navigation, unmount, terminal refresh, and manual retry.
  • Validate status error and archive payloads before applying or clearing recovery feedback, and preserve workspace restoration failures as restore failures.
  • Add localized desktop and phone recovery feedback with regression tests and managed Playwright coverage; update the session-entry recovery work orders with review remediation results.

Validation

  • Focused Vitest recovery suite: 170 tests passed across 9 files.
  • pnpm run typecheck.
  • Changed-file ESLint with --max-warnings 0, Prettier checks, pnpm run i18n:check, and pnpm run i18n:ratchet.
  • pnpm e2e:run --project chromium tests/session/session-entry-recovery.spec.ts tests/session/session-resume-recovery.spec.ts (5 passed).
  • pnpm e2e:run --project mobile-chrome tests/session/mobile-session-entry-recovery.spec.ts tests/session/mobile-session-resume-recovery.spec.ts (2 passed).
  • Fresh managed desktop and Pixel 5 capture runs passed; both compressed assets were inspected and validated against the PR asset manifest.
  • git diff --check and commit hooks passed.

Possible Improvements

Medium risk: the underlying WebSocket send/receive delivery bottleneck still needs separate timing evidence; this change does not claim to identify or remove that bottleneck.

Checklist

  • If I do not have repository write access and this is a large architectural change, I discussed the direction in a linked issue before opening this PR.
  • This PR contains one logical change; unrelated work is split into separate PRs.
  • I have performed a self-review of my code.
  • I have manually tested my changes and they work as expected.
  • My changes have tests that cover the new functionality and edge cases.
  • If my change touches UI files (apps/web/), I have added or updated Playwright e2e tests in apps/web/e2e/ and verified them with make test-e2e.
  • I checked whether this affects public docs in docs/public/** and updated them or noted why no docs change is needed.

Walkthrough

This change adds bounded WebSocket, session-status, and message-history recovery. It preserves cached history during failures, adds localized retry feedback, separates status retry from launch retry, and validates desktop and mobile recovery flows.

Changes

Session entry recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
WebSocket timeout and subscription recovery
apps/web/lib/ws/client.ts, apps/web/lib/ws/request-error.ts, apps/web/lib/ws/client.test.ts
Typed timeout errors, 10-second entry timeouts, one bounded subscription retry, timer cleanup, and readiness tests were added.
Session status recovery
apps/web/hooks/domains/session/use-session-resumption.ts, apps/web/hooks/domains/session/use-session-resumption-operations.ts, apps/web/hooks/domains/session/use-session-recovery-feedback.ts, apps/web/hooks/domains/session/use-session-resumption.test.ts
Status reads retry timeout failures, expose retrySessionStatus, and render structured status-unavailable outcomes without launching a session.
Message-history state and retry flow
apps/web/hooks/domains/session/use-message-fetch-state.ts, apps/web/hooks/domains/session/use-session-message-fetch.ts, apps/web/hooks/domains/session/use-session-messages.ts, related tests
History states now cover loading, retrying, ready, and unavailable. Timed-out history requests retry once. Failed requests preserve cached messages and stale session work is ignored.
Chat and recovery feedback
apps/web/components/task/chat/*, apps/web/components/task/ensure-session-error.tsx, apps/web/components/task/task-chat-panel.tsx, apps/web/components/task/task-page-inner.tsx, apps/web/components/task/preview-session-tabs.tsx
Chat history feedback, status notices, retry actions, expandable error details, accessibility states, and touch-sized controls were added and wired through the page.
End-to-end validation
apps/web/e2e/helpers/session-entry-recovery.ts, apps/web/e2e/tests/session/*
A correlated WebSocket delay proxy and desktop/mobile tests cover delayed entry, bounded retries, unavailable history, status recovery, touch targets, and overflow.
Localization and specifications
apps/web/src/locales/*/task.json, docs/plans/session-entry-recovery/*, docs/specs/platform/*
Recovery copy and implementation specifications were added for the supported locales and platform documentation.

A rabbit taps the retry key,
While messages hop back patiently.
The socket waits, then tries once more,
The chat keeps cached tracks in store.
Small buttons fit each paw just right,
And errors bloom with details light.

Render non-action history states without onRetryHistory.

MessageListStatus permits non-ready historyStatus values without onRetryHistory. The current guard then hides SessionHistoryFeedback, and the loading and empty states require "ready", leaving a zero-message transcript blank. Keep loading and retrying feedback independent of the callback. Render the unavailable retry action only when the callback exists. Add focused tests for these MessageListStatus and SessionHistoryFeedback cases, as required for shared chat predicates and consumers.

Include historyStatus in scrollLayoutKey.

MessageListStatus adds or removes SessionHistoryFeedback above the messages for loading, retrying, and unavailable. useScrollToDividerOrBottom uses scrollLayoutKey to reapply the divider position after such layout changes. Without historyStatus, a status transition can leave the cached content or unread divider at a stale offset.

+          historyStatus,
           messagesLoading,

click to capture all launch-related request counts before clicking, then assert
those counts remain unchanged afterward. Preserve the existing
task.session.status request-count assertion and status notice disappearance
check, using the relevant proxy request-count symbols already present in the
test.

In `@apps/web/hooks/domains/session/use-session-messages.ts`:
- Line 882: Update doFetchMessages and the useSessionMessages loading flow so
every final session-fetch exit, including inactive connection changes and the
lastFetchedSessionIdRef.current early return, clears isLoading when no fetch
remains. Ensure retryHistory no longer stays blocked by stale messagesLoading,
and update the stale-fetch test to assert the hook loading state is released.
