Implements OpenSpec change replace-dashboard-retry-command-with-protocol-message.

What

Replace the settled-error Retry transport. The client no longer smuggles a
control signal through the user-prompt channel (send_prompt text
/__dashboard_retry); retry is now a first-class typed protocol message
retry_session across all three hops:

  • packages/shared: RetrySessionBrowserMessage (browser→server),
    RetrySessionExtensionMessage (server→bridge), RetrySessionErrorMessage
    (server→browser negative-ack).
  • packages/server: explicit retry_session gateway case → handleRetrySession
    forwards to the owning bridge; undeliverable → structured retry_session_error
    (mirrors plugin_action_error, never a silent drop).
  • packages/client: handleRetrySession dispatches retry_session (guard
    unchanged); retry_session_error re-enables the one-shot Retry + toasts.
  • packages/extension: shared dispatchDashboardRetry for both retry_session
    and the kept deprecated /__dashboard_retry alias (version-skew window);
    disarms a still-armed RetryTracker chain before the re-drive; wraps the async
    pi.sendMessage in BOTH sync try/catch AND .catch() so a sync throw or
    async rejection emits auto_retry_end{success:false, attempt:0}.

The underlying pi call is unchanged:
pi.sendMessage({ customType: "pi-dashboard:retry", display: false }, { triggerTurn: true }).

Tests

10 L1 scenarios (test-plan #1#7, #9, #10) across client/server/extension, plus
3 review-fix tests (single-emission on sync+async failure, direct
retry_session_error reducer, gateway-boundary routing). Local review by two
independent models (luna + terra); non-blocking findings folded.

Notes / deferrals

QA/manual tasks deferred to post-merge verification.

Concurrent ask_user prompts sharing a title (e.g. two parallel update_roles
confirms) drop the second at the client dedup (event-reducer.ts:1028), hanging
the tool to the 5-min PromptBus timeout. Route B: fix the drop (narrow dedup to
requestId) + render concurrently-pending free-floating asks as one grouped
panel with independent per-id resolution. Doubt-review confirms the legacy
extension_ui_request path is dead, so deleting the content fallback is safe.
…try_session over the /__dashboard_retry sentinel

Cross-model doubt-review (luna + terra) caught a false lifecycle claim
(agent_start does not clear the banner), a missing server hop, and an
unsafe branch deletion. Design spike confirmed sendCustomMessage+triggerTurn
re-drives the turn; folded 2 caveats (async .catch, streaming degrades to
queued no-op). Decisions: D1 keep auto_retry_end, D2 negative-ack per
plugin_action_error convention, D3 trust client. 11 automated scenarios
folded, 1 manual-only deferred. openspec validate --strict: valid.
…try_session protocol message

Replace the /__dashboard_retry send_prompt sentinel with a first-class
retry_session message across all three hops (browser->server->bridge), plus a
retry_session_error negative-ack. Keep /__dashboard_retry as a deprecated bridge
alias for the version-skew window. Guard the manual retry against the RetryTracker
armed-chain, and emit auto_retry_end on both sync throw and async rejection.
… change + review-fix tests

- Archive the change (sync 4 ADDED requirements into the session-status-banner
  main spec; move proposal/specs/tasks/test-plan to archive/2026-08-24-...).
- Reclassify the three retry requirements MODIFIED -> ADDED in the delta: the
  main spec had no retry-dispatch requirement to modify (only retry UI/render),
  so the typed-transport, manual-surface-guard, and negative-ack contracts are
  new. No behaviour/scope change.
- Fold local-review (luna+terra) non-blocking findings: assert single
  auto_retry_end emission on sync throw AND async rejection; add a direct
  useMessageHandler retry_session_error reducer test; add a gateway-boundary
  test proving retry_session is explicitly routed (not swallowed by default).

Walkthrough

The change specifies typed retry_session transport across browser, server, and bridge layers, structured retry errors, legacy retry compatibility, and concurrent ask-user prompt deduplication with grouped rendering.

Changes

Typed session retry

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry protocol and requirements
packages/shared/src/browser-protocol.ts, packages/shared/src/protocol.ts, openspec/specs/session-status-banner/spec.md
Defines typed retry requests, negative acknowledgements, validation guards, failure events, tracker disarming, and the deprecated sentinel alias.
Retry routing and dispatch
packages/client/src/hooks/*, packages/server/src/browser-handlers/*, packages/server/src/pairing/browser-gateway.ts, packages/extension/src/command-handler.ts, packages/extension/src/bridge.ts
The client sends typed requests. The server routes them to the owning bridge. The bridge invokes the existing Pi custom message and handles dispatch failures.
Retry validation
packages/client/src/components/__tests__/*, packages/client/src/hooks/__tests__/*, packages/server/src/**/__tests__/*, packages/extension/src/__tests__/*, openspec/changes/archive/2026-08-24-replace-dashboard-retry-command-with-protocol-message/*
Tests and planning documents cover guards, routing, failure handling, tracker disarming, streaming behavior, compatibility, and version-skew validation.

Concurrent ask-user prompts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Concurrent prompt behavior
openspec/changes/surface-concurrent-ask-user-prompts/*
Defines request-ID-only deduplication, independent resolution, grouped free-floating prompts, preserved inline tool placement, batch behavior, reconnect handling, and validation tasks.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b6cba

The PR replaces the dashboard retry transport with a typed protocol message across the client, server, and extension; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

## Data model

No type changes. The panel derives from existing state:

```
pendingFreeFloating = interactiveRequests.filter(
r => r.status === "pending" && !toolCallIdOf(r)
)
```

`toolCallId` is already stored on the pushed `interactiveUi` message row
(`event-reducer.ts:1046`); the render layer reads it there or the request is
extended to carry it (render-only; not persisted to protocol).

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Define the toolCallId lookup contract.

pendingFreeFloating is derived from interactiveRequests[], but toolCallId is stored on a separate interactiveUi row. The design leaves the implementation to either read the row or extend the request. Specify a stable join by request identity, or explicitly change the request type. Without this rule, a tool-paired ask can be grouped incorrectly.

- **Fix the drop (correctness).** `addInteractiveRequest` SHALL NOT discard a

can only collapse a genuine re-send of the *same* dialog (same `requestId`),
not two distinct prompts that merely share a title.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Make the deduplication rule unambiguous.

A content-based fallback cannot identify a resend by requestId. Align this section with Decision 1: remove the content fallback and suppress only an existing requestId. Otherwise, an implementation may keep dropping distinct prompts with identical content.

Document the promptId/requestId mapping.

The requirement uses requestId, but the scenarios use promptId. The payload examples also switch between params.title/params.message and question/metadata.message. State the wire-to-reducer mapping and use it consistently so U1 and U2 test the real contract.

Do not drop the retry negative acknowledgement.

If the browser socket exceeds MAX_WS_BUFFER, ctx.sendTo drops this retry_session_error. The client then receives no retryRevision update and its one-shot Retry control stays disabled. Queue this control response until it can send, or add a bounded client-side re-arm fallback. Add a back-pressure regression test.

Add a bridge-level retry acknowledgement. sendToSession() reports only that ws.send() succeeded. A bridge without the retry_session handler can drop the frame, so the server emits no retry_session_error and the Retry control remains disabled. Add a correlated bridge acknowledgement, or limit the protocol and specifications to unreachable-bridge failures.

RetrySessionExtensionMessage in packages/shared/src/protocol.ts (lines 921-933)
and its counterpart in packages/shared/src/browser-protocol.ts (lines 850-862)
to define a correlated bridge acknowledgement for retry_session, and update the
session-status-banner specifications in
openspec/specs/session-status-banner/spec.md (lines 411-423) and
openspec/changes/archive/2026-08-24-replace-dashboard-retry-command-with-protocol-message/specs/session-status-banner/spec.md
(lines 67-79) plus proposal.md (lines 79-91) to require the server to handle
that acknowledgement and report retry_session_error when the bridge cannot
process the request, rather than relying only on ws.send() success.

Mirror the adjacent stop_after_turn guard so a malformed retry_session payload
is ignored rather than driving handleRetrySession with a bogus sessionId.

CodeRabbit finding dispositions

  • browser-gateway.ts — validate retry_session.sessionId (Minor): ✅ Applied in b6cbacb78 — mirrors the adjacent stop_after_turn runtime guard.
  • session-action-handler.ts — negative-ack dropped on MAX_WS_BUFFER overflow (Major, heavy-lift): Deferred. The retry_session_error is deliberately best-effort, modeled on the existing plugin_action_error convention (proposal decision Tui dashboard bridge rework #2). A queued/re-arm control response is separate hardening scope; the buffer-overflow case is a degenerate extreme, not a routine path.
  • protocol.ts — add a bridge-level retry ack (Major): Deferred. This is the new-server→old-bridge version-skew, an explicitly-resolved & accepted decision (proposal decision Tui dashboard bridge rework #2: closed by the co-versioned deploy flow /api/restart + npm run reload; manual verification is task fix(windows): URL-wrap entry-script position in node --import argv #12, post-merge). No runtime capability handshake by design.
  • openspec/changes/archive/... — "move artifacts out of archive/" (Minor): False positive. ship-change archives completed changes into openspec/changes/archive/; scripts/check-conventions.mjs treats it as immutable history (per AGENTS.md).
  • surface-concurrent-ask-user-prompts/* (Major×3): Out of scope — a separate change's planning docs that ride along on this branch's base (noted in the PR description); they ship under their own change.
