-# Claude Provider Redesign Plan
-
-## Goal
-Eliminate dropped/misrouted Claude messages and stuck lifecycle transitions under foreground/autonomous interleaving by replacing heuristics with an explicit state machine and deterministic routing.
-
-## Non-Negotiable Constraints
-1. Single-owner SDK consumption: only one internal pump calls `query.next()`.
-2. Task notifications are metadata only, never lifecycle correctness dependencies.
-3. Interrupt must work when lifecycle is `running`, even with no foreground `pendingRun`.
-4. Public API semantics unchanged:
-   - `stream`, `streamHistory`, `interrupt` signatures remain.
-   - `waitForFinish` remains status-based (`running -> idle/error/permission/timeout`).
-
-## Final Architecture
-
-### 1) Session Turn Ownership State
-`turnState`: `idle | foreground | autonomous`
-
-Transitions:
-1. `idle -> foreground` on user `stream()` send.
-2. `foreground -> idle` on foreground terminal event.
-3. `idle -> autonomous` on first routable autonomous SDK event.
-4. `autonomous -> idle` when autonomous run(s) terminal.
-5. `autonomous -> foreground` must be atomic:
-   - interrupt autonomous
-   - await teardown
-   - start foreground
-
-### 2) Run Lifecycle Tracking
-Per-run state (tracked independently from timeline):
-`queued | awaiting_response | streaming | finalizing | completed | interrupted | error`
-
-Session status derives from runs:
-- `running` iff any run is in `queued|awaiting_response|streaming|finalizing`
-- `permission` iff permission pending
-- `error` iff errored
-- `idle` otherwise
-
-### 3) Deterministic Event Routing (single decision point)
-In the query pump, normalize each SDK event, then route by this order:
-
-1. If `turnState=foreground`: route all non-metadata events to foreground run queue.
-2. Else route by identifiers:
-   - `task_id`
-   - `parent_message_id`
-   - `message_id`
-   - fallback: create autonomous run
-3. If no route: metadata-only event.
-
-No timestamp windows. No suppression/diversion heuristics.
-
-### 4) Timeline Assembly Decoupled from Run Ownership
-Timeline is assembled from normalized message events keyed by `message_id`, independent of run ownership:
-
-1. `message_start` -> create/update timeline entry
-2. `message_delta` -> append
-3. `message_stop` -> finalize
-4. Support out-of-order events (placeholder then reconcile)
-
-Guarantee: assistant messages cannot be dropped from timeline due routing ambiguity.
-
-## Refactor Sequence (Low-Risk Migration)
-1. Introduce explicit types:
-   - `TurnState`
-   - `RunTracker` (run map + lifecycle)
-   - `TimelineAssembler` (message-id based)
-2. Refactor pump flow to:
-   - normalize event
-   - route via single decision point
-   - update run tracker
-   - always feed timeline assembler
-3. Implement atomic `autonomous -> foreground` transition.
-4. Remove old heuristics:
-   - suppression windows
-   - pre-prompt diversion/grace logic
-   - task-notification lifecycle branching
-5. Keep manager/provider external contracts unchanged.
-
-## Correctness Invariants
-1. Only query pump calls `query.next()`.
-2. Foreground exclusivity: while `turnState=foreground`, non-metadata SDK events cannot route to autonomous path.
-3. Lifecycle correctness: `running` emitted when any run active; terminal transitions settle back to `idle`.
-4. Interrupt correctness: `cancelAgentRun()` works for autonomous running with no foreground `pendingRun`.
-5. Timeline completeness: every assistant `message_start/delta/stop` appears in timeline.
-
-## Test Plan
-
-### Unit Tests
-1. Deterministic routing by identifier priority.
-2. Foreground exclusivity under interleaving events.
-3. Run lifecycle transitions (success, interrupt, error).
-4. Timeline assembler out-of-order robustness.
-5. Manager autonomous cancel path without foreground `pendingRun`.
-
-### Real Claude E2E Gates
-1. `repro: do-it-again + immediate hello can hang after autonomous wake under churn`
-   - acceptance: autonomous `running` transition observed within timeout each cycle.
-2. `repro: transcript/timeline parity after do-it-again + hello race`
-   - acceptance: assistant messages present in transcript (including HELLO and autonomous completion) are present in timeline.
-
-## Rollout / Risk Controls
-1. Add temporary structured debug logs for:
-   - turn state transitions
-   - routing decisions (`event -> run`)
-   - run lifecycle transitions
-   - timeline assembly (`message_id`)
-2. Keep clear rollback boundaries by incremental commits:
-   - types + scaffolding
-   - routing replacement
-   - heuristic removal
-   - test hardening
-3. Run `npm run -w packages/server typecheck` and targeted test suites after each stage.

-# Claude Provider Invariants and Regression Test Plan
-
-## Goal
-Lock down behavior for Claude provider stream handling without changing provider interface contracts.
-
-## Non-Negotiable Contract Invariants
-
-- `I1` Provider interface remains unchanged.
-  - `stream(prompt) -> AsyncGenerator<AgentStreamEvent>` stays the only provider surface for run streaming.
-  - Reference: `packages/server/src/server/agent/agent-sdk-types.ts:337`
-
-- `I2` One prompt submission produces exactly one terminal turn event.
-  - Terminal set: `turn_completed | turn_failed | turn_canceled`.
-  - No ambiguous completion path.
-
-- `I3` Wait semantics remain status-based, not message-correlation-based.
-  - `waitForFinish` resolves on lifecycle outcomes (`idle|error|permission|timeout`).
-  - References:
-    - `packages/server/src/server/session.ts:5366`
-    - `packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:1523`
-
-- `I4` App chat/input semantics remain status-transition-based.
-  - Input processing and queue flush continue to rely on `running` transitions and `updatedAt` ordering.
-  - References:
-    - `packages/app/src/components/agent-input-area.tsx:222`
-    - `packages/app/src/components/agent-input-area.tsx:300`
-    - `packages/app/src/contexts/session-context.tsx:485`
-
-- `I5` New prompt must never be satisfied by stale pre-prompt assistant/result events.
-  - Old queued events (including system-triggered activity) must not be misattributed as response to latest prompt.
-
-## Existing Coverage (Keep)
-
-- Wait semantics after immediate/rapid sends:
-  - `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/wait-for-idle.e2e.test.ts:33`
-
-- Send-while-running recovery under real providers:
-  - `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/send-while-running-stuck.real.e2e.test.ts:18`
-  - `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/send-while-running-stuck-claude.real.e2e.test.ts:18`
-
-- Claude stale old-turn protection (interrupt-failure path):
-  - `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/claude-agent.interrupt-restart-regression.test.ts:217`
-
-- App stream head/tail flush on terminal events:
-  - `packages/app/src/types/stream-event.test.ts:115`
-
-## Missing Coverage (Add)
-
-### M1: Task Notification Interleaving Regression (Claude Unit)
-
-- Add mocked SDK sequence where a queued system/task-notification-related burst causes old assistant/result events to appear before new prompt output.
-- Assert latest `session.stream(newPrompt)` does not emit stale assistant text as its reply.
-- Expected: `I5` enforced.
-
-### M2: Stale Result Preemption Regression (Claude Unit)
-
-- Add mocked SDK sequence with old pending `result` available right after pushing a new prompt.
-- Assert provider ignores/contains stale terminal for previous activity and does not complete new prompt prematurely.
-- Expected: `I2` + `I5` enforced.
-
-### M3: Wait Final Snapshot Coherence (Daemon E2E/Integration)
-
-- Add/strengthen test to ensure `waitForFinish` never returns `status: idle` while `final.status === running`.
-- Remove need for retry loop workaround in stress scenarios.
-- Current stress workaround location:
-  - `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/ui-action-stress.real.e2e.test.ts:387`
-- Expected: `I3` hard guarantee.
-
-## Implementation Notes (Provider-Internal Only)
-
-- Turn events are valid internal lifecycle markers.
-- Do not introduce user-message to assistant-message correlation as a new cross-layer contract.
-- Do not modify app/CLI/public daemon wait interfaces.
-- Keep all changes scoped to Claude provider internals and regression tests.
-
-## Definition of Done
-
-- Invariants `I1-I5` are unchanged and explicitly covered.
-- New tests for `M1-M3` are added and passing.
-- Existing tests listed above remain green.
-- `npm run typecheck` passes.
