fix(web): stop background work through session teardown

[satyalyadav]

Problem

Background work can outlive the active turn. The banner Stop action must stop that work even after the composer turn has settled.

Fix

• route the background banner Stop action through thread.session.stop, the hard provider-session teardown path
• keep the UI in Stopping... until the existing background-liveness signal clears
• report dispatch failures without claiming that work stopped
• leave the active-turn composer Stop action on its existing turn-interrupt path
• remove the timeout-only UI fallback, which could only make the control clickable again without proving that work had stopped

Verification

• web focused logic tests: 126 passed
• server ProviderCommandReactor.test.ts: 62 passed
• server AntigravityAdapter.test.ts: 28 passed
• web typecheck passed
• targeted lint passed with existing warnings only
• targeted format check passed
• git diff --check passed

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved the background-work Stop action to end the active session more reliably.
  • The “Stopping…” state now applies to the selected thread and clears when stopping completes, when switching threads, or if the command fails.
  • Removed time-based re-enabling of the Stop button, preventing it from appearing before background work has stopped.
  • The background-work banner and Stop action no longer appear after the session has stopped.

Approvability

Verdict: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a localized fix that adds a cancellable five-second fallback for a stuck background-work Stop state, with focused timer tests and no schema or infrastructure changes. An unresolved Medium finding identifies a possible stale-request race in the shared stopping flag, which remains a separate approval blocker under the repository threshold.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ChatView now stops the provider session directly for background work. It tracks the stopping state by thread and clears it when liveness ends, the thread changes, or the command fails.

Changes

Background work session stopping

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Session stop and liveness state apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx	ChatView uses stopThreadSession for background-work stops. The stopping state is tracked per thread and cleared from liveness, thread changes, or command failures. The timeout-based reset was removed.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c8b83

Background work now stops through provider-session teardown and the UI recovers when the session reaches stopped, with no material merge risk remaining.

Reworked in 1810875: the background banner now uses thread.session.stop for a hard provider-session teardown, so the provider actually cancels its background work and emits the liveness-clearing signal. The five-second UI-only timeout and its stale-request race are removed; re-enabling the button alone could not prove that work had stopped. The active-turn composer Stop path remains unchanged.

I traced the reported Antigravity session through the provider event log and the adapter/liveness code paths:

• The parent turn completed at 2026-09-10T08:30:34.080Z.
• Two one-shot local_bash tasks remained registered as live (:69 and :71), but the next turn produced ps output with no matching shell processes.
• No terminal task events arrived for about 15 hours. The tasks cleared only when the provider session was hard-stopped, which emitted task.completed with status: stopped for both and session.exited.

This points to a stale provider task lifecycle, not a reason to re-enable the UI Stop control on a timer. The five-second UI-only fallback remains intentionally omitted because re-enabling Stop would not prove that the background work stopped. The banner now also disappears when the projected provider session reaches stopped, so a delayed or missed in-memory liveness-clear event cannot leave the UI stuck on Stopping.... Commit c8b8382.

Superseded by #13388 (fixes the stuck Monitoring / Stopping… banner for background work that outlived the turn; #11428 closed as fixed). Closing this alternative session-teardown approach as leftover hygiene.
