A thread can finish its turn while subagents or background shells are still running. Restart continuation only resumed sessions that were still running with an active turn, so those threads stayed ready and the work disappeared. Startup now treats unterminated task rows like an interrupted turn. When continue-after-restart is on, the continuation prompt names the stopped tasks and stays within the provider send limit. Otherwise those tasks are settled once as stopped and the thread gets the existing restart notice. A retry after those tasks were already settled restores the recorded names from the continuation marker, and an empty open-task list clears any stale marker. Malformed activity payloads are skipped, and plan or dream tasks stay excluded when a later status row omits taskType. Fixes pingdotgg#13400 Co-authored-by: maco <macodev00@users.noreply.github.com>

Continuation retries fail when an openTasks title contains assistant-citation Markdown and enough ordinary text: the raw title fits the limit here, but ProviderService.sendTurn expands the citation before validating length, so the restarted thread is settled as an error. Persist task labels after applying the same expansion-aware truncation (or escaping) used for the continuation prompt.

A listUnterminatedTasks() failure is converted into an empty task map, so marker creation and one-shot startup reconciliation treat ready threads with live background tasks as having no tasks. Those tasks are therefore neither continued nor settled and remain open until a later successful restart. Propagate the query failure (or otherwise prevent reconciliation from proceeding with an empty result) instead of using Effect.as([]).

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This is a substantial server-runtime change that adds durable background-task recovery, automatic task settlement, and new provider turns during restart reconciliation. Unresolved findings also identify citation-expanded prompts that can fail validation and query failures that can leave tasks unrecovered. Not approved because:

Retain task-query failures during startup recovery.
When listUnterminatedTasks() fails, loadUnterminatedTasksByThread logs a warning and returns an empty map. A ready, non-live session with only an open provider task then fails the orphanedThreads condition. Recovery does not settle the task, continue the provider session, or record a session error. Startup invokes this reconciliation once, and runStartupPhase adds tracing only. Retry or propagate the query failure instead of treating it as an empty task result.

Do not send the continuation prompt when task settlement fails.
When thread.activity.append fails for a non-interruption cause, settleStoppedTasks logs the failure and returns successfully. The continuation then sends a prompt that says the task was stopped, but no terminal task activity was persisted. The task remains open. Retry the append, and propagate a persistent failure before calling providerService.sendTurn.

What Changed
Restart continuation treats open background tasks the same as an interrupted turn.
markRunningProviderSessionsForContinuationandreconcileProviderSessionsnotice unterminatedtask.*rows (the persisted form of ClaudeliveTaskIds). When "Continue threads after restarts" is on, the thread is continued with a prompt that names the stopped tasks. That prompt, including the fixed text and every label, stays withinPROVIDER_SEND_TURN_MAX_INPUT_CHARS. When continuation is off, or it fails, only the still-open tasks are settled once as stopped and the thread gets the existing restart notice.An empty open-task list writes
continueAfterServerUpdateTasks: null, so a stale recorded list is not reused.A retry from a persisted
startingsession still restores recorded task names whenever the continuation marker is present, including after settlement already wrotetask.completedrows. Promptless providers receive those names instead of{ continuation: true }.listUnterminatedTasksskips activity rows whose payload is not valid JSON, and plan or dream tasks stay excluded when any decisive row has thattaskType.Why
A Claude thread whose turn has already finished can still be running subagents or background shells. The session is
readywith no active turn, so a restart neither continued it nor told the user the work was lost.This redo also closes the review findings from #13621: an oversized task label could make
sendTurnreject the continuation, a stale task marker could settle the same tasks again, and settlement could dispatch a second completion for tasks that were already recorded.Fixes #13400
