Keep distinct generated summary categories, route update-summary generation through the configured auxiliary model first, disclose capped large-range summary input, and constrain long summary panels.
The FakeAgent in test_issue1857_usage_overwrite returned only 2 messages
(user + assistant) without the conversation history. The real agent always
returns the full history plus new messages. This mismatch caused the new
_has_new_assistant_reply helper (which checks only messages beyond the
pre-turn offset) to see len(result)==len(prev) and incorrectly flag the
turn as a silent failure.
Fix: prepend conversation_history to the FakeAgent's response so the
message list mirrors production behavior.
When a provider error (401/429/rate-limit) causes the agent to return
without producing a new assistant reply, the WebUI should emit an
apperror event so the user sees an inline error. However, the detection
logic scanned ALL messages in result['messages'] — which includes the
full conversation history. If any prior turn had an assistant response,
_assistant_added would be True and the apperror would be silently
skipped, leaving the user staring at a blank response.
Extract a helper _has_new_assistant_reply(all_messages, prev_count)
that only inspects messages beyond the pre-turn history offset. Apply
it to both the main detection path and the self-heal/retry path.
Tests: 15 new cases covering history masking, empty content, whitespace,
edge-case shrinks, and multi-assistant scenarios.
Opus identified that PR #2227's preservation block had two related bugs in
the parent_session_id handling:
1. During preservation save: code did
_old_parent = s.parent_session_id
s.parent_session_id = None
s.save(touch_updated_at=False, skip_index=True)
s.parent_session_id = _old_parent
The save persisted parent=None to disk. The in-memory restoration didn't
reach the disk copy. Result: a /branch fork session that subsequently
compressed lost its 'Forked from X' badge on the preserved old snapshot.
2. Stamping the continuation: code did
if not s.parent_session_id:
s.parent_session_id = old_sid
The 'if not' guard skipped the stamp when the session already had a
parent_session_id from a prior fork. Result: fork-of-fork compression
broke lineage — the continuation jumped back to the original fork parent
instead of the just-preserved immediate predecessor snapshot.
Fix (matches Opus's recommendation):
- Remove the parent clearing during preservation save (preserve as-is)
- Drop the 'if not' guard; always stamp continuation to old_sid
This makes the lineage chain consistent: new → old → old.parent → ... root.
Traversal from the continuation always walks through the just-preserved
snapshot to get to its parent's parent, never jumping over the snapshot.
Two new regression tests pin both invariants:
- test_parent_session_id_stamped_unconditionally (no 'if not' guard)
- test_old_session_parent_preserved_during_archive_save (no parent=None)
Both pass against the fix. All 8 tests in the file pass.
The previous implementation renamed old_sid.json → new_sid.json during
context compression, destroying the only persistent copy of the full
conversation history. If the summarisation LLM call also failed, the
user was left with zero recoverable messages.
Fix:
- Remove the destructive old_path.rename(new_path) call
- Preserve old_sid.json as an immutable pre-compression archive
- Create new_sid.json as a fresh file via s.save()
- Set parent_session_id on the continuation session for lineage
- Save in-memory messages to old_sid.json if they're newer than disk
Test: test_issue2223_compression_no_rename.py (6 tests, all passing)
Refs #2215 Fix A: replace plain dict _summary_cache with OrderedDict-based LRU capped at 16 entries to prevent unbounded memory growth from long-running update summary generations.
Add regression coverage for the bounded LRU behavior: cache hits refresh recency, a new entry at capacity evicts the least-recently used key, and cache size never exceeds the cap.
Refs #2215 Fix B: remove the mid-response stripping hazard without losing leading multi-line wrapper cleanup.
The pattern now strips only a leading 'the user is asking' wrapper line and preserves the visible answer that follows. Add regression coverage for both the leading-wrapper and mid-response prose cases.
perf(sessions): cache CLI session scans (starship-s)
Conflict resolution on api/routes.py:
(1) Master grew a new helper '_messages_include_tool_metadata()' that
pr-2149 doesn't have. Kept it (unrelated function — detects whether
returned messages contain tool metadata, used elsewhere).
(2) pr-2149 renames the CLI-metadata gate from '_needs_cli_session_metadata'
to '_session_requires_cli_metadata_lookup' AND broadens it to cover
legacy-imported sidecars with 'read_only=False' but persisted 'is_cli_session'
or session_source markers. The new gate is strictly more inclusive than
the master version — covers (a) is_cli_session, (b) read_only=True,
(c) session_source in {messaging, external_agent}, AND (d) source_tag,
raw_source, source, source_label, platform markers. All sessions that
previously took the slow path still do, plus a few more legacy shapes
that needed CLI metadata for correct display.
(3) Removed the obsolete '_needs_cli_session_metadata()' definition from
master (only consumer migrated to the new name).
29/29 tests pass across test_session_cli_scan_fast_path (new), claude_code
session import, session_index, and session_lineage_full_transcript.
