The server keeps conversation bodies in its in-memory command model for its whole uptime, even though command decisions only need metadata. On long-running servers with thousands of threads this grows into hundreds of MB of cold heap.

Fix

  • A server-only CommandReadModel whose types cannot hold message text, attachments, tool output, plan markdown, or checkpoint file lists. A decider rule that tries to read them does not compile.
  • All message roles, the existing caps (2,000 messages, 500 activities, 500 checkpoints), request retention, and revert rules stay as they are.
  • On startup, compact decision history is restored from SQLite for live threads updated within 7 days of the newest thread activity. Older, archived and deleted threads start empty, as they did before. The project CLI, the legacy HTTP snapshot and startup maintenance read a metadata snapshot instead.

Tradeoff

A thread that was idle for more than a week before a restart starts with empty decision history. That is what main does today for every thread.

Boot cost at 5,000 threads

Synthetic database: 60 messages, 300 activities and 8 checkpoints per thread, 130 threads active in the last week, 90 archived.

Build Restored records Retained heap Startup query
main 0 11.2 MB 57 ms
This PR, restoring every thread (first version) 1,840,000 404.9 MB 5,898 ms
This PR 47,840 (130 threads) 21.3 MB 209 ms

Verification

  • New test: only live threads inside the window get history back. It fails if the window is removed, and fails if the archived/deleted filter is removed.
  • The restart test checks that decisions and compact history match across a restart.
  • New test: a malformed or future thread timestamp can neither fail startup nor move the window past every thread (the window is clamped to now). It fails without the clamp and with an unsafe date parse.
  • Local: 1,186 tests pass across orchestration, CLI, startup and this PR's test files. The 38 failures are known macOS-only tests that also fail on main. Server typecheck and lint pass.
  • Heap check from the first version: 94.8 MiB to 6.5 MiB retained for 60 threads with 200 messages, 500 tool activities and 20 checkpoints each.

Proved with the boot benchmark above (same seeded database against main, the first version, and this version) plus the tests listed.

Replaces #13692, which slimmed the same model without type enforcement.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of pending approval and user-input requests, including stale request failures and message-based responses.
    • Project listings and orchestration snapshots provide project and thread metadata without loading full conversation history.
  • Performance

    • Command decisions restore bounded history for recently active threads, retaining relevant request details while limiting older conversation data.
    • Compact command history omits large message, checkpoint, and plan content.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This large production refactor changes live command-state representation, restart restoration windows, request retention, and revert-related ordering across orchestration paths. An unresolved restart/revert data-integrity concern and a threshold-level recovery finding leave material state-consistency risk requiring human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The orchestration system separates metadata snapshots from a bounded command read model. Command projection and decision logic use reduced records. Metadata-focused routes and startup tasks use the metadata snapshot.

Changes

Orchestration command read model

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define compact command-model records
apps/server/src/orchestration/CommandReadModel.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/Services/ProjectionSnapshotQuery.ts
Adds reduced command records, activity request metadata, collection limits, and separate query methods for command and metadata snapshots.
Separate metadata and bounded command queries
apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/ProjectionSnapshotQuery.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/ProjectionSnapshotQuery.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/OrchestrationEngine.test.ts
Loads metadata without message, activity, or checkpoint bodies. Builds command snapshots from bounded history queries. Tests cover restoration cutoffs, compact content, restart persistence, and activity retention.
Project compact command state
apps/server/src/orchestration/projector.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/projector.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/projector.pullRequests.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/messageContext.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/OrchestrationEngine.ts
Projects reduced command records and applies collection limits. Updates engine types and adjusts related assertions and fixtures.
Use compact state in command decisions
apps/server/src/orchestration/commandInvariants.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/commandInvariants.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/decider.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/decider.*.test.ts
Uses command-model types in invariants and deciders. Deciders read request metadata and stale-failure flags from command activities. Related fixtures use the compact model.
Read metadata snapshots for metadata tasks
apps/server/src/cli/project.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/ProviderCommandReactor.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/http.ts, apps/server/src/serverRuntimeStartup.ts, apps/server/src/checkpointing/CheckpointDiffQuery.test.ts, apps/server/src/project/*.test.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/*.test.ts, apps/server/src/server*.test.ts
Metadata-focused consumers call getMetadataSnapshot(). Projection query test doubles implement the added method.

Preserve message order when reverting a thread.

ProjectionSnapshotQuery selects the last 2,000 messages by SQLite rowid. The revert projector deletes all message rows and reinserts the retained rows. The repository lists those rows by created_at, message_id, while the live projector preserves array order and appends new message IDs. If these orders differ, a restart can select a different message window and produce different duplicate or revert behavior.

During revert, delete only the pruned message rows. Keep retained rows in place so their insertion order remains stable.

Keeping rowid. It is insertion order, which matches the live projector's append order; the restart test compares the restored and live models and fails when the boot query orders by (created_at, message_id), because a user and assistant message can share a timestamp. The revert case needs a thread over 2,000 messages, a revert, and a timestamp tie at the window edge, and it only shifts which old messages fall outside the 2,000 window. Making the revert reinsert keep rowid is a separate change.

@t3dotgg, thanks for the clarification. I verified both paths: the live projector appends new messages, and the startup query uses rowid to restore insertion order. A timestamp tie makes (created_at, message_id) an unsafe replacement.

The revert projector reads retained rows in (created_at, message_id) order, then deletes and reinserts them. That can change their rowid order and, at the 2,000-message boundary, change the restored window. I agree that changing revert reinsertion is a separate change. I’ll keep this finding scoped to that case.

Learning: In `apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/ProjectionSnapshotQuery.ts`, the command message startup query uses SQLite `rowid` to match the append order of `apps/server/src/orchestration/projector.ts`. Do not replace that order with `(created_at, message_id)`: messages can share a timestamp, and the order can then differ from the live command model.

The restore mirrors the live projector's retention on purpose: retainThreadActivities in projector.ts (unchanged from main) pins a message-mode user-input.requested until a user-input.resolved arrives and does not treat a stale provider.user-input.respond.failed as closing it. So the live model already keeps that question after the failure ages out of the 500 window; async_lifecycle applies the same rule so a restarted model matches the live one. Treating stale failures as closing is a separate behavior change for both paths.

…s at startup

Restoring compact history for every thread made boot memory scale with
all history ever written: 405 MB and a 5.9 s startup query for 5,000
threads. Restore it only for live threads updated within 7 days of the
newest thread activity; older and archived threads start empty, as they
did before the compact model. The same 5,000-thread database now
restores 130 threads: 21 MB and 209 ms.

A malformed thread updated_at made startup throw in DateTime.makeUnsafe,
and a future one moved the restore window past every thread. Parse the
newest value safely and clamp it to the current time.

Thanks for working on this. We merged the orchestrator V2 rewrite in #2829, and we are closing this PR as part of that transition.

This change touches OrchestrationEngine.ts, ProjectionSnapshotQuery.ts, ProviderCommandReactor.ts, which the V2 merge removed. V2 executes provider work through orchestrator services and the effect worker.

Sorry for the extra work this creates. If the change is still needed on V2, please rebuild it on current main, verify it there, and open a new PR linking back here. We're closing the current implementation without assuming the underlying request is resolved.
