Consolidate a turn's gated calls into one approval by M3gA-Mind · Pull Request #848 · tinyhumansai/opencompany

Summary

A research turn that reaches espn.com, bbc.com and theguardian.com parked three
approvals and interrupted the conversation three times for one piece of work — three
sign-offs, and three re-dispatch cycles (#561), each one a chance to dead-end. This
consolidates the ask: one card, one click, N individual host-scoped grants.

The grouping already existed. Issue #469 journals the parking cycle so a turn blocked
on four decisions is continued exactly once. The operator was simply never shown that
grouping. So this projects the key the journal already had rather than inventing a batch
entity:

PendingApproval / ApprovalSummary gain batch, read off the entry approvals: a turn that parks several calls never answers — each approval re-runs the turn independently, and the chat count never clears #469 already
populates. No new record, no journal format change, no recovery change. Because it is
the same key, the batch an operator is asked about is by construction the batch the
runtime holds a single continuation for.
Approvals raised outside a cycle (a workflow node, a scheduler tick, a pre-approvals: a turn that parks several calls never answers — each approval re-runs the turn independently, and the chat count never clears #469 line)
carry no key and are never grouped — not even with each other, since absent means
"unknown", not "the same one".

Nothing about grants changes. Confirmed against staging before building: approving
three fetches already produces three independent Standing permissions rows, each
host-scoped with its own expiry and Revoke. One Approve fires N per-id resolves through
the unchanged mint path, so that stays exactly true — minting, storage, expiry and
revocation are untouched (git diff on src/ for the console commit is empty). Batching
the asking is not batching the granting; widening a grant to save a click would be the
leak #739 exists to prevent.

Two renderings, divided by what each surface is for:

Chat — the fast path, all-or-nothing. One card per turn listing the hosts it covers,
with a single Approve/Decline and the existing scope control. Approve grants every call
in the batch; Decline grants none. It answers every item it is still asking about,
because the turn stays blocked until each parked call has a verdict — a decision that
left one open would hold the turn while looking as though it had resolved the card.
Approvals page — the granular path, itemised. Unchanged: one row per gated call,
each approved or declined on its own, matching how Standing permissions lists one
revocable row per grant. It gains only a note saying how many rows came from the same
turn. Granular control in both places would be redundant and would double the state
that has to stay in step.

The two do not drift, because neither owns state. Both render the same feed and both
already react to approval_resolved (#379), so a row decided on the page settles on the
chat card without a reload, and the card reports a partial state (1 of 3 decided) rather
than going on claiming three things are pending. A single-item turn renders exactly as it
did before.

Closes #842

API Or Behavior Changes

Wire, additive. ApprovalSummary gains an optional batch: string — an opaque
grouping key, omitted when absent. An old console ignores it and renders one card per
approval, exactly as today; a new console against an old host sees no key and groups
nothing. It is an equality key only: never an ordering, a count, or anything shown to an
operator.
Redaction. batch survives role redaction on purpose (approval_visibility
withholds contents, and which requests arrived together is not contents). Without
that, a Member would see one turn split into unrelated single cards while an Admin saw
one — the same turn interrupting the two of them a different number of times.
Console. The inline chat card may now cover several approvals. Its group still
carries data-approval-id for the first, and each line adds data-approval-item.
Console. A decision that fails to record is now stated on the card — the row that
failed names itself and the reason, the card counts the failures honestly, and the
buttons stay live so a retry re-resolves only what is still pending. Previously a failed
resolve fell back to a look identical to "never decided", which one click covering three
calls turns from a small gap into a wrong conclusion.
Unchanged: how grants are minted, scoped, stored, expired or revoked; the
pending_approvals count; the Approvals page's per-row decisions; ApprovalParked,
which stays deliberately thin.

Tests

Run locally, from a clean clone of main with the vendored submodules initialised. The
gated lane needs RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216, as CI sets — without it an unrelated workflow
test aborts on stack overflow.

cargo fmt --all -- --check — clean.
cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings — ran CI's gated form,
cargo clippy --locked --no-deps --features openhuman,tinycortex --all-targets -- -D warnings,
exit 0. --no-deps mirrors the rust-gated job; the unscoped form fails on
vendored-crate lints this repo does not own.
cargo build --all-targets — ran as
cargo build --locked --features openhuman,tinycortex --all-targets. The default
feature set does not compile src/harness/, where one of the new tests lives.
cargo test — ran as
RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test --locked --features openhuman,tinycortex --tests:
3,618 passed, 0 failed. Re-run after merging origin/main rather than trusting
the clean merge — a clean merge is not proof the merged tree builds.

Console, additionally: npm run typecheck, npm run typecheck:unit, npm test
(vitest, 19 new tests), npm run build, ./scripts/ci/assert-design-tokens.sh,
./scripts/ci/assert-md-line-cap.sh — all clean. Three unit files (tour-resume,
connection-registry, desktop-bridge) fail in my local checkout on
window.localStorage; they fail identically with this branch stashed on clean main, and
the Console job is green here, so it is a local pnpm/jsdom resolution artifact rather than
anything about this branch — CI installs with npm ci.

Every new test was proved to fail with its fix reverted

Test	Revert applied	Result
`every_approval_one_turn_parks_carries_that_turns_batch_key`	`batch: None` in `pending()`	fails: `[None, None, None]`
`a_member_gets_the_approval_without_its_contents`	blank `batch` in `hide_contents`	fails
grouping into one card (3 of 5 cases)	key back to per-approval	3 fail
resolves all items, not just one (4 cases)	`pending.slice(0, 1)`	4 fail
skips items already settled on the page (2 cases)	`pending` = every approval	2 fail
a Decline carries no scope	pass `scope` on deny	fails
a failed item names itself rather than looking pending	drop the failed branch	fails
the failure count is honest (`1 of 3`, never `none`)	drop the status branch	fails
a retry stays reachable after a failure	`disabled={busy \|\| failedCount > 0}`	fails
one card is not frozen by another card's decision (2 of 3 cases)	`decidingIn` → pass the shell-wide map through	2 fail
a settled verdict outranks a stale failure	restore `if (failure && !deciding)`	fails

Two exceptions, stated rather than papered over:

Two grouping cases — "keeps two turns apart" and "never groups approvals the host gave
no batch for" — assert non-grouping, so they survive a no-grouping revert by
construction. They are guards against over-grouping (an operator approving a second
turn's work with one click meant for the first), not proofs that grouping happens.
approving_two_items_of_a_batch_grants_two_hosts_and_leaves_the_third_parking guards
existing approvals: scope a standing grant on an outward fetch to one host (#673) #739 behaviour under the new shape, so there is no fix of mine to revert. I
proved instead that it catches the wrong fix: replacing the two host-scoped grants
with one unscoped grant — what "batch the grant" would look like — makes
theguardian.com allowed and the test fails. That is the assertion worth having, since
a fix that batched the granting would pass every assertion about the two approved hosts
and leak silently on the third.

Not covered, deliberately: test/e2e/chat-inline-approval.spec.ts is not extended.
That suite needs a running host and a browser, I could not run it here, and adding specs I
cannot execute would report coverage this branch does not have. Its existing fixtures
carry no batch, so they render as single cards and are unaffected.

Documentation

docs/spec/company-brain/approvals.md gains One turn is asked about once (issue #842)
under the existing "Where the request is raised" section: why the key is #469's rather
than a new one, that one record per gated call stays the unit of truth, the two renderings
and why granularity lives on only one of them, and why an approval with no batch is never
grouped. Still within the 500-line cap (300 lines).

A turn that parks several gated calls is one piece of work, but nothing on the read side said so, so the operator was asked once per call. The grouping already exists: #469 journals the parking cycle so a turn blocked on four decisions is continued exactly once. `PendingApproval` and `ApprovalSummary` now carry that key as `batch`, read off the entry rather than recomputed, so the batch an operator is asked about is by construction the batch the runtime holds a single continuation for. No new record and no journal format change. Each park stays its own record, its own decision and its own host-scoped grant. Role redaction withholds contents, not the grouping. Refs #842

A research turn reaching three sites raised three cards in the conversation and cost three sign-offs and three re-dispatch cycles for one piece of work. Chat now groups a turn's approvals into one card listing the hosts it covers, with a single Approve/Decline. It is all-or-nothing: Approve grants every call in the batch, Decline grants none. The operator is mid-thought and wants one decision, not a form. Granularity stays on the Approvals page, which already itemises the same parks one row at a time and is where an operator goes for precision or to clean up after the fact. Offering per-item control in both places would be redundant and would double the state that has to stay in step. The page gains only a note saying how many rows came from the same turn. Nothing changes about grants. One Approve resolves each item on its own id, so three fetches still mint three independently revocable host-scoped standing permissions, exactly as today. The card answers every item it is still asking about, since the turn stays blocked until each parked call has a verdict, and skips any the page has already resolved. Neither surface owns state: both render the feed and react to approval_resolved, so a row decided on the page settles on the card without a reload and the card reports a partial state instead of claiming three things are still pending. Approvals with no batch are never grouped, not even with each other, and a single-item turn renders exactly as before. Refs #842

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds optional turn-batch metadata to approvals, propagates it through the runtime, groups matching approvals into one chat card, and preserves independent decisions, grants, and records. The Approvals page reports pending batch counts.

Changes

Approval batching

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Runtime batch metadata `src/runtime/...`, `src/company/runtime.rs`, `src/server/approval_visibility.rs`	Pending approvals expose the existing cycle key as optional `batch` metadata. Runtime and visibility tests verify propagation, redaction, independent records, and per-host grants.
Timeline grouping and decision state `frontend/src/views/chat/model.ts`, `frontend/src/views/chat/MessageTimeline.tsx`, `frontend/src/api/types.ts`, `frontend/test/unit/approval-batch.test.ts`	The timeline groups approvals with matching batch keys, keeps unbatched approvals separate, orders items, and tracks verdicts by approval ID.
Consolidated chat approval card `frontend/src/views/chat/ApprovalRow.tsx`, `frontend/src/components/app-shell.tsx`, `frontend/src/views/ChatView.tsx`, `frontend/test/unit/approval-batch-card.test.ts`, `frontend/test/unit/approval-batch-isolation.test.ts`	Chat renders one card for a batch, applies decisions to pending items, reports per-item failures, supports retries, and preserves single-approval rendering.
Approvals page status and specification `frontend/src/views/ApprovalsView.tsx`, `docs/spec/company-brain/approvals.md`	The Approvals page displays pending counts for shared turn batches. The specification documents presentation grouping and independent resolution.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 934de

This change consolidates multiple approvals into one gesture, while individual grants remain separate. A settled approval can currently continue to display an outdated failure message after resolution elsewhere, and one click now carries a broader bounded consent impact; the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to clear stale failure state.

Two sentences carry this PR, and both are the right ones:

The grouping already existed. … this projects the key the journal already had rather than inventing a batch entity.

Batching the asking is not batching the granting.

The first is what makes it safe: because the card's key is #469's parking-cycle key, "the batch an operator is asked about is by construction the batch the runtime holds a single continuation for". A batch entity invented for the console would have been a second grouping that could disagree with the one recovery uses — and disagree silently, since nothing would compare them.

The second is the distinction I came looking for. Consolidating an ask is a UX change; consolidating a grant would be a security change wearing the same clothes. One Approve firing N per-id resolves through the unchanged mint path keeps three host-scoped grants with their own expiry and Revoke, and the console commit touching no src/ at all is the cheapest possible proof of it. Confirming that against staging before building, rather than asserting it after, is the part I would hold up.

Absent means unknown, not equal is the detail most implementations get wrong: approvals raised outside a cycle carry no key and are grouped with nothing, "not even with each other". A naive version buckets every keyless approval into one card, which would consolidate a scheduler tick with a workflow node on the strength of both lacking an attribute.

Also right: the card enumerates each call rather than reporting a count, batch is compared for equality and never rendered, and per-item verdicts are tracked in their own map so the shell's state cannot smear one decision across a group.

0 major. 1 question. Approving.

Question — what does one click look like when the third resolve fails?

One Approve fans out to N resolves. The per-item Verdict map means a partial outcome is representable, which is the hard half and you have it. What I could not establish is whether a failed resolve is distinguishable on screen from one still in flight.

The failure matters more here than it did before this change. Approving three cards separately, a failure is attached to the one card the operator just clicked. Approving one card covering three, a failure on the third leaves two effects authorised and one not — and if that item simply stays in its pending look, the operator's honest reading is "still working", not "this one did not take". They clicked once and got two-thirds of what they asked for.

This is the shape #817 is fixing one subsystem over: an operation that failed while the surface kept saying success. The fix there was a note stating plainly that nothing reached the remote and what the way back is.

If a failed resolve already renders distinctly, this is answered and worth a line saying so. If it does not, the smallest version is a per-row error state — the map is already keyed by id, so the state has somewhere to live.

Before merging: 11 commits behind, lanes still reporting. Worth confirming against #714's overflow notice once both are in: that PR tells the operator when a run discarded gated calls past the cap, and a consolidated card is the surface where "three of the five you asked about" would need to read correctly.

One Approve fans out to one resolve per item, so a failure on the third leaves two effects authorised and one not. The failed item dropped back to its pending look, which reads as 'still working' rather than 'this one did not take' — the operator clicked once and got two thirds of what they asked for, with nothing on screen saying which third. A toast is the wrong home for it twice over: it does not say which item failed, and it is gone by the time the operator looks back at the card. So the shell keeps failures per approval id, the row that failed says so, and the card counts them honestly — never 'nothing was recorded' about a click that authorised two of three. The buttons stay live because a retry is the way out, and a retry re-resolves only what is still pending. Refs #842

M3gA-Mind · 2026-08-13T15:17:04Z

What I could not establish is whether a failed resolve is distinguishable on screen from one still in flight.

It was not, and you are right that consolidation is what makes it matter. Fixed in e6c28b7.

What it did before. decideApproval caught the error, raised a toast and wrote a line into the channel, then cleared the in-flight mark. The item fell back through pending to exactly its undecided look. So the third of three was pixel-identical to one nobody had clicked — and the two toasts that had succeeded were still on screen saying so. Your reading is the one an operator would reach: two thirds of what they asked for, and nothing saying which third.

A toast is the wrong home for this twice over, and only the second reason is about consolidation. It does not say which item failed — with one card covering three, "Couldn't record your decision" names nothing. And it is gone by the time the operator looks back at the card, which is the surface that will still be sitting there implying everything is fine.

What it does now. The shell keeps a third map, failedApprovals, keyed by approval id beside deciding and decided — as you say, the state already had somewhere to live. Three things read off it:

The row names itself. The failed item renders in the blocked tone with the reason it was given, not the pending dot: https://theguardian.com/uk — Not recorded — host is away.
The count is honest. 1 of 3 weren't recorded — try again. Never "nothing was recorded" when a click authorised two of three; that would be a fresh lie in place of the silence it replaces. The all-failed case says so separately.
The buttons stay live. A retry is the way out, and decideAll already iterates pending, so it re-resolves only the item that never landed — the two that did are settled and re-resolving them would be a second decision on approvals the host has already dropped. A retry also clears the previous attempt's error first, so a stale message cannot sit under a live one.

Three new tests, each proved to fail with its fix reverted: the row naming itself (revert: drop the failed branch), the honest count (revert: drop the status branch), and the retry staying reachable (revert: disabled={busy || failedCount > 0}).

The single-item card gets the status line too. It renders no item list to carry the per-row form, and a failure there was equally invisible before — it was just less costly.

Worth confirming against #714's overflow notice once both are in.

Both are in now — #714 is on main and this branch has merged it. They compose, and they already share vocabulary, which I did not expect:

Heads up: 2 further gated tool calls were not raised for approval. One batch can raise at most 8 … They were not run and they are not on the Approvals page — ask the agent again to get them back.

The notice is pushed as its own operator message from the same cycle that parks, so it lands in the conversation beside the card rather than inside it. "Three of the five you asked about" therefore reads correctly without either surface having to know about the other: the card covers exactly the batch that was raised and says SEO Specialist needs 3 sign-offs, and the notice separately accounts for the two that were not — including the part a card could never say, that they are not on the Approvals page either and the way back is to ask again.

That division holds because the card's count comes from the approvals it was handed, not from anything the turn claimed it wanted. There is no arithmetic between them to get wrong.

Also done: merged origin/main (was 11 behind). Re-ran the gated lane on the merged tree rather than trusting the clean merge — RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test --locked --features openhuman,tinycortex --tests, 3,618 passed, 0 failed — plus cargo fmt --check, the console typecheck/unit/build, design tokens and the Markdown cap.

Thanks for the two quotes at the top — the second one is the sentence I most wanted a reviewer to check, and confirming the grant half on staging before building is the reason the console commit could touch no src/ at all.

The shell keeps one in-flight map for the whole console, and MessageTimeline narrows it to each card's own items before the card reads deciding.size as 'I am busy'. Nothing exercised the narrowing: the card tests pass a map already scoped to their own ids, so replacing the call with a pass-through of the shell-wide map would have failed no test — and every batch card in the transcript would grey out whenever any approval anywhere was being decided. That is #373's bug one surface up. Tested through MessageTimeline rather than against the helper, because a unit test of the helper keeps passing when the call site stops using it, which is the regression worth catching. Both directions asserted, so the test cannot pass by the narrowing dropping everything on the floor. Refs #842

- Around line 975-980: Update onApprovalEvent’s approval_resolved handling to
remove the corresponding approval ID from failedApprovals while recording it in
decidedApprovals, so BatchItem renders the settled verdict instead of the stale
failure. Add a test covering a failed approval followed by external resolution
and assert the failure entry is cleared.

An item that failed to record here and was then resolved on the Approvals page or in another tab carried both a failure and a verdict, and the row rendered the failure — so a card said 'not recorded' about an approval the host had already acted on. That is the card contradicting the queue, which is the drift this work exists to remove. Two halves. The row now tests the verdict first: a failure describes one attempt, a verdict describes the approval, and the verdict is the newer fact. And the shell clears the failure when an approval_resolved frame arrives, since the retry path only clears failures for decisions made from the card itself — a decision made anywhere else reaches this console solely as that frame.
