A turn started SERVER-SIDE (self-wake, cron, restart hook) fans a
`server_turn_started` frame onto the per-session live-view SSE channel so an
open tab renders it live. But while a tab is HIDDEN the WebUI deliberately does
NOT hold that persistent SSE open (connection-pool budget — #3992 / #4151), so
`get_session_channel()` returns None at fan-out time and the turn is dropped for
that tab. The user only saw the turn after a manual interaction (refresh / send)
re-subscribed the channel and replayed it.
Bridge the gap with a lightweight poll of `/api/session/status` (one short GET
per ~6s tick — NOT a held connection, so the connection-pool budget the hidden
guard protects is preserved) that attaches the existing live renderer when it
sees a *live* active stream.
Backend (`api/session_ops.py`):
- `session_status()` now exposes `active_stream_id`, derived through a new
`_live_active_stream_id()` helper that only returns the id when the stream is
genuinely live (present in STREAMS / ACTIVE_RUNS). A stale id left by a
crashed/restarted run surfaces as None, so the poller never attaches a
renderer to a dead stream. Additive field — existing consumers ignore it.
Frontend (`static/messages.js`):
- `_startHiddenActiveStreamPoll` / `_stopHiddenActiveStreamPoll` /
`_attachServerInitiatedStream` implement the poll lifecycle. The poll fires
one immediate tick on hide (so an in-flight turn is caught without waiting a
full interval), attaches mid-flight turns via the reconnecting/replay path,
and stops on re-show (the real SSE takes over), session switch, or once a
stream is rendering.
- Started on BOTH hidden paths: the `visibilitychange` hook's hidden branch (a
visible tab going to background) and `startSessionStream`'s hidden
early-return skip (a session opened while already hidden). The visible path
and `stopSessionStream` clear it.
Tests:
- `tests/test_hidden_tab_server_initiated_turn.py` — backend live-validation
(stale id → None; STREAMS/ACTIVE_RUNS id returned) and frontend lifecycle /
both-hidden-paths / replay-attach source locks.
- Widened the brittle fixed-width source-window slices in
`tests/test_issue3996_sse_visibility.py` (1600/1700 → 2400) so the existing
`visibilitychange` / hidden-skip assertions still find their markers after the
poll-start lines were inserted into `startSessionStream`.
* feat(sessions): skip adaptive auto-rename for manually-named sessions (#3542, #3230)
Co-authored-by: Matt Van Horn <455140+mvanhorn@users.noreply.github.com>
* docs(changelog): v0.51.276 — Release IR (stage-p3e)
* fix(sessions): clear manual_title lock on /api/session/clear (#3542)
Codex regression-gate follow-up: the clear endpoint reset the title to
Untitled directly, stranding manual_title=True so the reused session never
auto-named again. Route the reset through apply_session_title_rename (which
clears the lock for auto-labels) + add a behavioral and a static-guard test.
