What Changed

Exempt per-thread phase changes from the 15s Live Activity throttle in shouldUpdateLiveActivity (infra/relay/src/agentActivity/ApnsDeliveries.ts), next to the existing activeCount / attention / newly-terminal exits. Timestamp and ordering churn stay throttled.

Add a relay regression: deliver a starting aggregate, then running ~4s later — both must queue live_activity_update.

Fixes #12668

Why

starting → running keeps activeCount at 1 and is not attention/terminal, so the running update was suppressed inside the 15s window and never retried. The lock screen stayed on Connecting until a later exempt phase or foreground re-register.

UI Changes

No in-app UI change. Lock-screen Live Activity copy can advance from Connecting to Working. Screenshots/video not applicable.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • Live Activity updates are throttled more consistently, reducing unnecessary refreshes for timestamp-only changes or reordered activities.
    • Updates continue for meaningful activity changes, including phase transitions, attention-state changes, newly completed items, and changes to threads awaiting input.
  • Documentation

    • Improved documentation for Live Activity parsing and delivery setup.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for throttling and for updates triggered when threads begin or stop awaiting input.

starting to running keeps activeCount at 1 and is not attention or terminal,
so the 15s Live Activity throttle dropped the running push and the lock
screen stayed on Connecting. Exempt observed phase changes from that
window. Timestamp and ordering churn stay throttled.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The relay moves Live Activity throttle logic into a dedicated module. The throttle now detects thread phase and attention-set changes. Tests cover phase updates, timestamp and ordering changes, and waiting-thread changes.

Changes

Live Activity delivery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Live Activity throttle implementation
infra/relay/src/agentActivity/liveActivityUpdateThrottle.ts, infra/relay/src/agentActivity/ApnsDeliveries.ts
shouldUpdateLiveActivity and its helpers now reside in a dedicated module. Phase changes and attention-set changes bypass the 15-second throttle. Timestamp and ordering changes remain throttled.
Starting-to-running delivery test
infra/relay/src/agentActivity/ApnsDeliveries.test.ts
The starting-to-running delivery sequence now uses a named generator. The test verifies that both updates are queued.
Attention and aggregate-change throttle tests
infra/relay/src/agentActivity/ApnsDeliveries.test.ts
Tests verify throttling for timestamp-only and ordering-only changes. Tests also verify updates when waiting threads are added or removed during a phase change.

Priority: ⬆️ High

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: High

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 547e4

The relay now advances Live Activities for phase and attention transitions while continuing to throttle timestamp-only and ordering-only changes. The supplied coverage addresses these paths, leaving no actionable merge-blocking risk.

Add JSDoc on the Live Activity throttle helpers and the regression
factory so docstring coverage covers the diff. Assert the second queued
update carries phase running and status Working.
CodeRabbit docstring coverage stays at 66.67% when JSDoc sits on
anonymous it.effect/Effect.gen callbacks. Extract named functions and
document the throttle helpers so coverage covers the diff.

CodeRabbit counts nested generator declarations in the test factory, which
dropped docstring coverage to 60%. Keep the Effect.gen callback inline like
the other cases, and add JSDoc on the neighboring attention helper so the
touched functions meet the 80% threshold.

CodeRabbit counted the Option.match onNone/onSome callbacks inside
shouldUpdateLiveActivity, holding docstring coverage at 66.67%. Parse the
timestamp in a documented helper so the touched functions have JSDoc.

Co-authored-by: maco <macodev00@users.noreply.github.com>
CodeRabbit docstring coverage includes containing functions from diff hunks
(parsePreferences, makeLayer). Add JSDoc on those helpers so coverage can
clear 80%.

Replace the anonymous Effect.gen callback with a module-level generator
and bind its input so CodeRabbit can associate JSDoc with the function.

Co-authored-by: maco <macodev00@users.noreply.github.com>
Move shouldUpdateLiveActivity and its helpers into a dedicated module so
every touched function has JSDoc and CodeRabbit re-analyzes a new file
instead of skipping similar docstring-only diffs.

Waiting aggregates used to bypass the 15s throttle on any change, including

A second thread entering waiting_for_input while another was already
waiting kept the aggregate attention flag true, so the 15s throttle
could drop the update when activeCount stayed the same. Detect newly
attention-requiring rows, and keep timestamp and ordering-only waiting
updates throttled.

Boolean aggregate attention plus newly waiting rows still missed a
waiting thread leaving while another stayed in the throttle window.
Compare the waiting-thread set so those transitions publish, while
timestamp and ordering churn stay throttled.

[Bug]: iOS Live Activity stays on Connecting because the relay throttles the running update
