feat(replace-dashboard-retry-command-with-protocol-message): typed retry_session protocol message - #539
Conversation
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.
…rd-retry-command-with-protocol-message
… 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).

🗄️ 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.

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.

In `@packages/shared/src/protocol.ts` around lines 921 - 933, Update
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.

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_prompttext/__dashboard_retry); retry is now a first-class typed protocol messageretry_sessionacross all three hops:packages/shared:RetrySessionBrowserMessage(browser→server),RetrySessionExtensionMessage(server→bridge),RetrySessionErrorMessage(server→browser negative-ack).
packages/server: explicitretry_sessiongateway case →handleRetrySessionforwards to the owning bridge; undeliverable → structured
retry_session_error(mirrors
plugin_action_error, never a silent drop).packages/client:handleRetrySessiondispatchesretry_session(guardunchanged);
retry_session_errorre-enables the one-shot Retry + toasts.packages/extension: shareddispatchDashboardRetryfor bothretry_sessionand the kept deprecated
/__dashboard_retryalias (version-skew window);disarms a still-armed
RetryTrackerchain before the re-drive; wraps the asyncpi.sendMessagein BOTH synctry/catchAND.catch()so a sync throw orasync 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_errorreducer, gateway-boundary routing). Local review by twoindependent models (luna + terra); non-blocking findings folded.
Notes / deferrals
fail-then-succeed faux scenario that doesn't exist; the transport swap does not
touch the reducer/banner convergence path (fully L1-covered).
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.
