Fixes #15611. Also reported in #15717.

Problem

If a turn finishes while you're editing a queued message, T3 can send the original text before you save.

Fix

The server holds that message until Save or Cancel. Save sends the revised text; Cancel keeps the original. Neither interrupts the current turn or resumes a queue paused by Stop or a restart.

Queue order is preserved, stale editors cannot overwrite newer edits, and waiting on an edit no longer keeps the thread showing Working/Thinking. Web, desktop, and mobile use the same commands.

The author withdrew the overlapping draft-protection fix in #15911 in favor of this PR. Maintainer review is still pending.

After

Testing

Regression coverage includes dispatch during editing, Save/Cancel, queue order, stale edits, existing queue pauses, and completion status.

On 7e2d55741, all CI build, lint, typecheck, and test jobs passed. The two repaired suites also passed locally (37 tests):

pnpm exec vp test run packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.test.ts apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/QueuedRunEditing.test.ts --maxWorkers=1

Manually tested on Windows: leave an edit unsaved while the response finishes, then save and receive the revised response. Minimizing and returning also preserves the edit. Full app-close/reopen and native mobile flows have not been manually tested.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Queued-message editing now creates a server-side edit lease. The server holds an edited run in its queue position until the edit is saved or canceled. Web and mobile clients send edit IDs when saving or canceling and show which queued runs are being edited.

Changes

Queued message editing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Edit command contract and runtime
packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/threadCommands.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.test.ts
The orchestration contract and client runtime add begin and cancel edit commands. Save commands can include an edit ID. Tests check that clients use the ID returned when an edit begins.
Server edit lease and queue dispatch
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/OrchestratorScenario.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/QueuedRunEditing.test.ts
The server records and validates edit leases, blocks dispatch and steering for edited runs, and retries queue startup after accepted edit completion. Tests cover saves, cancels, stale IDs, queue pauses, and dispatch races.
Held queue position and runtime projection
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.test.ts, packages/shared/src/orchestrationV2ThreadError.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/threadExecution.test.ts
Queue-position and latest-run calculations account for edit-held runs. Tests cover shell projections and runtime status.
Web and mobile edit flows
apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/QueuedRunsControl.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadQueueControl.tsx, apps/mobile/src/state/queued-run-edit.ts, apps/mobile/src/state/use-thread-composer-state.ts, apps/mobile/src/state/queued-run-edit.test.ts, docs/user/composer.md
Web and mobile clients begin, save, and cancel edits with edit IDs. They preserve existing draft content, display editing status, and prevent steering of edited runs. Composer documentation describes the queue hold behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4d481

A queued message can remain stuck in an editor after its edit lease ends on another device. Reconcile lost leases in both clients before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4d481

The change adds server-side protection against sending messages during editing and rejects stale saves. No expanded access or execution privilege was established. Restart recovery and mixed-version deployment remain incompletely verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A caller with environment orchestration-operation authority can establish holds on eligible queued runs in accessible threads. Holding the next run also delays subsequent messages in that thread. The inspected path uses environment-level authorization; tenant-specific isolation is not established by this review.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The existing WebSocket path authenticates the session and requires orchestration-operation scope before command dispatch. Run lookup stays within the supplied thread, and lease handlers reject nonqueued runs, automatic messages, and mismatched edit identities. The base already allowed editing the same message text, context, and attachments under this authority.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Missing or stale Save identities are rejected without changing the original message or releasing the active hold. Reopening can replace the lease using its current projected identity, making an abandoned editor recoverable without granting its stale writes authority.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Establish a rollout and rollback rule for active edit leases, and exercise restart plus lost-response recovery end to end before relying on those states to prevent unintended message execution.

🟡 Minor · Reconcile a lost queued-run edit lease. · use-thread-composer-state.ts:472-492

apps/mobile/src/state/use-thread-composer-state.ts:472-492
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reconcile a lost queued-run edit lease.

When another client clears queueEditId while the run remains queued, the cleanup effect keeps the mobile edit active because it checks only run.status. The visible cancel action then sends the stale edit.editId. The server rejects that ID, and the callback does not exit edit mode for the failure.

Compare the local edit ID with queueEditId in the effect and treat a null lease as lost. Apply the same check before sending cancellation.
