…ails Sending a message clears the composer immediately. If the server accepted the turn and it then failed asynchronously — a runtime stream error, a stale pending provider callback, a runtime.error — the failure only surfaced later via session.lastError, long after onSend returned. The inline send-failure path never ran, so the typed text was cleared and lost for good. Keep a snapshot of the submitted text (plus images and contexts) alive until the turn is confirmed accepted-and-clean, and restore it into an empty composer when the turn's session enters an error state. The restore decision is a pure helper (deriveTurnFailureRecoveryAction) keyed on session.status rather than the carried-forward lastError, so a stale prior-turn error cannot trigger a spurious restore. The synchronous and asynchronous failure paths now share one restore routine. Claude Opus 4.8 via Claude Code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This production web-chat change adds asynchronous recovery behavior across turn failures, steering, completion detection, navigation, and attachment handling. Although well-scoped and unit-tested, the state-machine complexity and customer-visible send-lifecycle change warrant human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |
- Arm the pending-send snapshot before the async send RPCs instead of after startThreadTurn resolves. The recovery effect keys off activeServerThread, not the ref, so a failure that lands during the awaits would otherwise run the effect with no snapshot and never restore the composer. A synchronous send failure clears the snapshot again. - Treat a moved latestTurnCompletedAt as clean completion, not just a new turn id. A steered follow-up folds into the running turn and keeps the same id, so the snapshot would otherwise linger and could restore an already-sent message on a later, unrelated session error. Claude Opus 4.8 via Claude Code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Follow-up to review of the recovery snapshot: - Arm the snapshot only after the turn is accepted (not before the send RPCs), and bump a state tick so the recovery effect re-evaluates even if the failing session state already landed during the awaits. Arming early let the effect restore mid-onSend, after which a synchronous failure saw a non-empty composer and left the optimistic user message orphaned in the transcript. - Treat a changed latestTurnId as session advancement in addition to a changed sessionUpdatedAt, so an accept-then-fail that shares the pre-send millisecond timestamp still restores. Claude Opus 4.8 via Claude Code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A prior turn's recovery snapshot stayed live while a follow-up or steer send cleared the composer and awaited its RPCs. If the session hit error in that window the effect restored the old snapshot into the now-empty composer, and a later synchronous failure for the new send then skipped restore (composer no longer empty), losing the newly typed text. Drop any pending snapshot at each point onSend takes over the composer (main send, plan follow-up, standalone slash command); the main send re-arms its own snapshot once its turn is accepted. Only the most recent send is recoverable, which matches the single-snapshot model. Claude Opus 4.8 via Claude Code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…r-on-turn-failure # Conflicts: # apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx
A steered send folds its message into the already-running turn, so the turn id does not change. When such a turn is accepted and then fails in the same millisecond as the pre-send snapshot, neither `sessionUpdatedAt` nor `latestTurnId` advances, so `deriveTurnFailureRecoveryAction` never took the error-restore branch, and the "error" status also blocked the completion `drop` — leaving the snapshot stuck on `wait` and the cleared composer text lost on the next send. Treat the session status crossing from a non-error pre-send value into "error" as its own freshness signal. A stale prior-turn error was already "error" at send time, so it is excluded and cannot spuriously restore. Thread the pre-send session status through the recovery snapshot and add regression tests for the steered same-ms failure (restore and drop). Claude Opus 4.8 via Claude Code.

The recovery effect treats whitespace-only text as empty because it uses
promptRef.current.trim(). The synchronous failure path at line 6389 usespromptRef.current.length === 0. The two paths therefore disagree for a whitespace-only composer. Use one shared predicate so both paths decide identically.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

…restore Two issues in the accepted-turn-then-async-failure recovery path: - The recovery snapshot kept each file's uploadedAttachmentId even though the turn's upload was released the moment it was accepted. On restore the upload queue verified the dangling id, found it deleted, and silently turned the row into a needs-reattach marker; a byte-less file (hydrated from persistence) lost its content outright. The snapshot now strips the released upload reference, so files with bytes re-upload cleanly and byte-less files honestly surface as needs-reattach immediately. - The "failed since pre-send" freshness fallback fired for any non-error pre-send status crossing into "error", so a prior turn's error that merely landed during our send RPCs could masquerade as this send's failure and clobber the composer. That fallback only ever mattered for a steered send (one folded into an already-running turn), so it is now gated on an in-progress pre-send status; a fresh send's own failure still advances the turn id and is caught by the existing freshness check. Both are covered by focused tests in ChatView.logic.test.ts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The recovery effect matched the armed snapshot on bare threadId. Thread ids are only unique within an environment, so navigating to the same id in another environment could restore this send's prompt and attachments into a different thread's composer. Store the environmentId in the snapshot and compare it in the guard, matching how the rest of the component keys thread identity. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The recovery effect read 'has the user retyped?' from the imperative composer refs, which stay on the previously viewed thread until child effects resync. Navigating back to a failed turn could then misjudge this thread's composer — dropping the snapshot as if the user retyped, or overwriting the stored draft as if the composer were empty. Read it from the draft store keyed by this thread's target via composerDraftHasUserContent instead.

Problem
When you submit a message in a conversation, the composer is cleared immediately. If the server accepts the turn and it then fails asynchronously — e.g.
Claude runtime stream failed.,Stale pending user-input request: … Provider callback state does not survive app restarts or recovered sessions., or a bareRuntime error— the failure surfaces only later viasession.lastError, long afteronSendhas returned. The existing send-failure restore path only runs for a synchronous start-turn RPC rejection, so in the async case the typed text stays cleared and is lost for good, with no way to retrieve it.Fix
Keep a snapshot of the just-submitted text (plus images and terminal/element/preview/review contexts) alive until the turn is confirmed accepted-and-clean, and restore it into an empty composer when the turn's session enters an error state.
deriveTurnFailureRecoveryActioninChatView.logic.ts.session.status === "error"(a fresh, current-state signal), not onlastError— the server carrieslastErrorforward across a new turn until the session next reachesready, so keying on it would restore a stale prior-turn error. Asession.updatedAtguard ensures a session that was already inerrorat send time can't trigger a spurious restore before the new turn begins.Scope: the primary
onSendpath in an existing/started conversation (the reported case). Plan-mode follow-up and "implement in new thread" are intentionally out of scope for this focused change.Verification
apps/webtypecheck, lint, and the touched unit tests pass, including six new cases forderiveTurnFailureRecoveryAction(async-failure restore, retyped-composer drop, stale-error no-op, clean-completion drop, still-running wait).This is a state/logic fix rather than a visual one, so there is no meaningful before/after screenshot; the difference is whether the composer is repopulated after an induced runtime failure. Happy to attach a short screen recording of a forced runtime error if useful.

Note
Medium Risk
Changes composer send/recovery state across many race conditions (steering, same-ms timestamps, navigation); incorrect freshness logic could restore stale errors or drop user text, but behavior is heavily unit-tested.
