Stacked on #2153 (recordings + parity harness) ← #2136 (WS1a) ← #2124 (contract) — re-stacked linearly at the coordinator's request so the full stack merges conflict-free. Base: bb/provider-recordings. DO NOT MERGE — coordinator review.

What was wrong

Provider facts lived in core tables keyed by provider id, and the shared server↔daemon execution contract carried Claude/Codex-named knobs:

  • PRODUCT_PROVIDER_ORDER, RESERVED_PROVIDER_ID_OWNERS, PRODUCT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER_ID in the server registry.
  • Five codex*/claudeCode* keys on the shared AppSettings, resolved in thread-commands.ts by providerId === ….
  • claudeCodePermissionMode, workflowsEnabled, memoryEnabled, providerSubagentsEnabled on RuntimeThreadExecutionOptions (the G2 allowlist entry), plus a providerId !== "claude-code" guard in the runtime.
  • Three copies of the Claude model catalog (plugin, server, app) and a vendored PLACEHOLDER_PROVIDER_INFOS roster in the app; sign-in hints, install URLs, brand prefixes and plan-mode copy in per-provider tables on web and mobile.
  • The contract PR added the additive declaration / ProviderInfo fields; nothing populated or consumed them (G10 gaps: family, models, env, deriveProviderOptions, promptMode).

What changed

Spec: WS2a-registry.md layers 1–7 (docs/provider-plugin-api.md §1, §6).

L1 — bb.providers.register + single ProviderInfo. New bb.providers namespace on BbPluginApi; bb.agents.experimental_registerProvider stays as an alias sharing the same registration table (additive-then-delete: both work; the four first-party server.ts files moved to the new call). buildPluginProviderRegistration now projects strings, reasoningLevels (declared options, or the coarse ladder labelled), serviceTiers (declared, or default/fast when supportsServiceTier), extensionKinds namespaced by the owning plugin id, and family. New declaration fields, validated in the shared host policy: experimental_family, experimental_models.fallback, experimental_env.passthrough, experimental_deriveProviderOptions.

L2 — options hook + promptMode. The server runs the owning plugin's experimental_deriveProviderOptions(ctx) on every session/turn command (ctx = { threadId, projectId, model, permissionMode, promptMode?, settings }, settings = the plugin's own non-secret bb.settings values, read synchronously) and sends the bounded-JSON result as a REQUIRED options.providerOptions. promptMode: "plan" is set only when the prompt carries the provider's declared plan composer command (Pi never sees it). claudeCodePermissionMode + the three booleans are deleted from runtimeThreadExecutionOptionsSchema, ProviderExecutionContext, and the runtime's literal-id guard; the bridge adapter merges the bag over the static bridge options instead of rest-sweeping "provider-flavored" fields. bridgeExecutionOptionsSchema gains promptMode. The Claude plugin maps promptMode to its native plan flag inside its own bag; the Claude/Codex bridges already read their knobs from the bag, so no bridge code changed.

L3 — provider-scoped settings. The five keys are gone from appSettingsSchema; provider-codex defines memoryEnabled/subagentsDisabled, provider-claude-code adds workflowsDisabled, both derived into providerOptions by their hooks. Drizzle data migration 0105_provider_settings_to_plugins copies stored values into plugin_settings (existing plugin rows win) and retires the shared rows. supportsWorkflows is deleted from the declaration and ProviderServerCapabilities (it only ever fed workflowsEnabled). Web: the hardcoded Codex/Claude settings pages, SETTINGS_PROVIDER_ENTRIES, /settings/providers/:providerId are gone; a generic Settings → Providers bucket lists every registered provider with order + default controls, and per-provider knobs live on the plugin's settings page. Mobile: ProviderSettingsScreen and its route are gone (plugin detail already renders bb.settings forms).

L4 — flat ids + user order. RESERVED_PROVIDER_ID_OWNERS, reservedProviderIdProblem, PRODUCT_PROVIDER_ORDER, PRODUCT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER_ID deleted. Collision = first live registration wins (assertProviderRegistrable keeps only the "has a bridge" check). registry.list() orders by an install rank the plugin runtime supplies (bundled plugins by their BUNDLED_PLUGINS index — reordered to codex, claude-code, pi, acp so today's picker order is preserved — then others by installedAt, then registration sequence), under two new app settings providerOrder: string[] and defaultProviderId: string | null (bb settings general … works unchanged, docs/configuration.md updated). thread-default-policy resolves the default as the user's choice when registered+available, else the first available listed provider.

L5 — duplicate catalogs. Server claude-code-fallback-models.ts deleted; the model-list route serves registration.fallbackModels (from the declaration) on a transient probe failure. App PLACEHOLDER_PROVIDER_INFOS and CLAUDE_CODE_PLACEHOLDER_MODELS deleted (a cold cache waits for the first probe; a remembered per-routing roster still replays). The Claude catalog data moved to an import-free src/model-catalog-data.ts (the server loads server.ts with only the SDK root specifier resolvable, so it must not pull in @get-bb/plugin-sdk/provider-bridge). Web + mobile usage banners, the picker's brand strip, the missing-CLI install link, and the plan-mode permission display now read ProviderInfo.strings — the mobile usage table's keys (claudeCode, cursor) never matched the server's provider-id keys, which this fixes as a side effect. effective-prompt-mode keys on the presence of strings.planModeCopy, not providerId === "claude-code".

L6 — directory. bb.sdk.providers.list() already existed (verified). New app.experimental_useProviders() ({ status, providers: ProviderInfo[] }) in the SDK, app implementation, and test harness (providers option); provider-retry and automations read provider names from it instead of local tables. Icons remain vendored — see the api_to_audit entry for why.

env.passthrough replaces the daemon's hardcoded BB_CLAUDE_CODE_EXECUTABLE forwarding: bridgeLaunch.envPassthrough (REQUIRED on the wire) names the variables; the runtime picks exactly those from the daemon env into the bridge process env. #2153's record-mode forward (BB_PROVIDER_BRIDGE_RECORD_DIR, read from the daemon's own env) stays beside it in providerProcessEnvFromShellEnv — it is a daemon concern, not a provider declaration.

Wire: HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION 148 (WS1a) → 149; protocol.ts keeps all three log entries (147 contract, 148 WS1a, 149 this PR). Changes: options shape (fields removed, providerOptions required, promptMode optional) and bridgeLaunch.envPassthrough required.

Docs / surfaces: docs/api_to_audit.md (registration entry rewritten for flat ids + install order; target-state-fields entry expanded with the hook/models/env/family and migration; new experimental_useProviders entry), bb-plugin-authoring SKILL.md (bb.providers.register with every new field), docs/configuration.md (Providers bucket, providerOrder/defaultProviderId, plugin-scoped knobs), docs/provider-bridge-protocol.md alias rename, echo-provider example.

G10 doc-sync gaps (provider-plugin-doc.test.ts)

family, models, env, deriveProviderOptions, promptMode → mapped to real fields. maintenance stays a gap, retargeted to the stabilization audit: it is a pure fold of the three experimental_provider{Health,Usage,Installation} booleans, and declaring the same three facts twice during the transition would break one-fact-one-place.

Deliberately NOT done here (noted for WS4)

  • AgentRuntimeSkillRoot is still a closed union keyed by first-party id (WS1a's flag). Dissolving it needs the skills/configure root to carry both the skills dir and the plugin root (Claude consumes the latter), i.e. a bridge-protocol + Claude bridge change — WS4's lane.
  • provider-registry.ts keeps 9 isAcpProviderId hits for the dynamic ACP tier (custom agents resolved from config) — WS2b deletes the tier.

Relation to WS1a

Now stacked on top of WS1a (#2136), so there is no sibling overlap to reconcile: the restack commit ports the scripted-echo launch helper and WS1a's new dispatch / extension-payload tests to this PR's shapes (envPassthrough, readSettings, no supportsWorkflows) and keeps HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION = 149 with all three log entries.

Guardrails

G1 (provider-literal ratchet, scripts/check-provider-literal-ratchet.mjs from #2120 — not in this base, so no baseline file is committed here; measured with the script checked out from that branch):

214 → 149 references, 57 → 41 core files.

G2 (provider-contract-purity): allowlist now empty — claudeCodePermissionMode removed with the field.

Registry equality: first-party-provider-plugins.test.ts pins the client-read ProviderInfo fields (id, displayName, logoUrl, available, the three maintenance booleans, capabilities, composerActions) for codex / claude-code / pi / acp-cursor to their pre-PR values, plus the picker order, and asserts the new projections are filled.

How I verified

All with --concurrency 4:

  • turbo run typecheck — 74/74 tasks green (whole repo).
  • turbo run build — 18/18 green. turbo run lint — green (pre-existing app warnings only).
  • turbo run test for @bb/server (193 files / 1817 tests; the only failure is the known local-umask internal-skill-trees case, passes in CI), @bb/app (414 files), @bb/mobile (124), @bb/agent-runtime (31), @bb/host-daemon (47), @bb/domain, @get-bb/plugin-sdk, @bb/provider-bridge-protocol, @bb/host-daemon-contract, @bb/db, @bb/client-core, @bb/cli, @bb/server-contract, @bb/thread-view, @bb/scripts, @bb/plugin-build, @bb/demo-server, and the plugins provider-claude-code, provider-codex, provider-acp, provider-retry, automations, tasks — all green.
  • Tests that fail before / pass after: plugin-provider-registration.test.ts (projection of strings/tiers/levels/kinds/family/models/env + the hook bound to settings + non-JSON rejection), provider-registry.test.ts (install-rank order, user order overlay, unknown default → null, freed ids), thread-default-policy.test.ts (user default + order), thread-runtime-config.test.ts (providerOptions per provider, hook context, promptMode only for plan-declaring providers), first-party-provider-plugins.test.ts (client-field pin), migrate.test.ts (0105 carries values, plugin rows win, shared rows retired), ProvidersSettingsSection.test.tsx, execution-options.test.ts (structural bag equality), mobile settings-models.test.ts (usage rows keyed by provider id).

Not run: the live-CLI integration suite (agent-runtime#test:integration) and the corpus gate (not in this base).

Coordinator review — APPROVE (SlopCop disabled; this review is the gate).

Reviewed all 6 commits (+7181/−2046) against the migration gate:

  • The headline: G1 ratchet 214 → 149 (57 → 41 files) and the G2 contract-purity allowlist is empty — claudeCodePermissionMode and the three provider-named booleans are gone from the shared contract, replaced by promptMode + an opaque providerOptions bag the owning plugin derives. That's the zero-privilege principle made concrete.
  • Settings migration 0105 is correct and safe: it moves stored values (INSERT … SELECT into plugin_settings) before deleting the shared rows, with ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING so an existing plugin row wins — a user who turned memory/subagents/workflows off keeps it off. Journal + snapshot are Drizzle-generated (idx 105), and migrate.test.ts pins the carry-over. Good.
  • HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION → 149: required, not optional — bridgeLaunch.envPassthrough is a required field on a strict schema, so an old daemon rejects the payload. Deliberately skipping 148 (WS1a) makes the stack merge a one-line "keep 149 + both log entries." Correct.
  • Ordering is genuinely data-driven, not PRODUCT_PROVIDER_ORDER renamed: user providerOrder → bundled-plugin list position → installedAt. I verified provider-registry.ts contains no id-order literal. The "reorder" is just entry position in the builtin list, which every plugin has.
  • Registry equality: first-party capabilities/accessors pinned in provider-registry.test.ts.
  • Bonus: strings-driven copy fixed the mobile usage-key mismatch (claudeCode/cursor never matched provider-id keys) as a side effect — the bug I'd scheduled for WS3 is gone.
  • Typecheck 74/74, build 18/18, lint clean, suites green across every touched package.

Handoffs noted (correctly scoped out): AgentRuntimeSkillRoot closed union → WS4 (needs a bridge-protocol change); the dynamic ACP tier's 9 isAcpProviderId hits → WS2b; maintenance doc fold → stabilization.

Oracle note, same as WS1a: the corpus row-snapshot gate (#2121) isn't in this stack's base, so it didn't run. This PR changes projection inputs (strings, fallback models) but not projection logic, so row diffs are unlikely; I'll run the A4 compare against this head myself and post the result, as I did for #2136.

Sawyer merges the stack; I do not.

A4 corpus regression check — run by the coordinator against head f42089dd7 + the #2121 harness.

Row snapshots: PASS. 307/307 production threads, 328 tests green, zero row diffs against the pre-migration baseline, empty allowlist. Moving provider copy/catalogs into declarations changed nothing a user sees in the timeline. Oracle note from my review is resolved.

Perf: gate noise, not a regression. 4 cells tripped at load 10.8 — but this PR makes zero changes to the timeline build path (no thread-view or timeline.ts edits). Across three independent runs now (WS1a ×2, WS2a ×1) a different set of threads trips each time, on code that does not execute in the measured path. That confirms the harness finding on #2121: the 1.10× gate over 40 cells with 5 samples is too tight for a shared box. The fix belongs in the harness, not here.

…-derived options

Add the bb.providers namespace (bb.agents.experimental_registerProvider stays
as an alias) and project the declared strings, reasoning levels, service
tiers, extension kinds, family, fallback models and env passthrough onto the
one client shape, ProviderInfo.

Replace the provider-named execution options (claudeCodePermissionMode,
workflowsEnabled, memoryEnabled, providerSubagentsEnabled) with promptMode
plus an opaque providerOptions bag each plugin derives per command through
experimental_deriveProviderOptions. The five claude/codex app settings move
into the owning plugins' settings (data migration 0105 carries stored
values). Delete supportsWorkflows, RESERVED_PROVIDER_ID_OWNERS,
PRODUCT_PROVIDER_ORDER and PRODUCT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER_ID: ids are flat and
first-wins, picker order is plugin install order under the user's
providerOrder/defaultProviderId settings. Bump HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION
to 149.

…rpus row snapshots, timeline perf, permission matrix (#2121)

> **Stacked in the chain**: contract #2124 → WS1a #2136 → recordings
#2153 → WS2a #2148 → **this PR** → codex #2164 → claude #2178 → acp.
Base `bb/ws2a-registry-providerinfo-stack-on-2124-thr_hbi4kggyzb`. WS1a
deleted the `ProviderAdapter` interface and the fake adapter, so the
runtime permission matrix drives `handleRuntimeProviderRequest` through
the real bridge-protocol adapter built for the scripted echo launch
(`createProviderForId` + `createScriptedEchoLaunch`), with the
initialize handshake setting `approvalEnforcedBy` and a canonical
`interaction/request` on the wire. The 80 outcomes pinned on `main` are
unchanged; the `tool_use` subject the v3 contract added gets 20 measured
cells of its own (the type-level union guard demanded them).
`resolvePermissionEscalation` now takes only the initiator, so the
server table is 3 initiator cells + the 54 policy-shape cells. The row
snapshots minted on `main` compare byte-identical (307/307, 0 diffs)
under WS1a, #2153, and WS2a. Pre-stack history: `4af0367`.

## What was wrong

The provider-plugin migration abandons byte-equivalence with the old
goldens on purpose, which removes the regression oracle. Before any
provider code moves, `main` needs machine checks on real data that every
later layer can run: projected rows for the 307 production threads in
the private corpus (A4), a timeline-build and event-size baseline, and
the permission-decision matrix (A5/G12) pinned as a literal table before
WS5 changes the unions. None of these existed.

## What changed

No production code changes. Tests, test helpers, one script, one turbo
task, docs.

- **Corpus reader** — `packages/test-helpers/src/provider-corpus.ts`:
`corpusAvailable()`, `listCorpusThreads({ provider?, reasons? })`,
`loadCorpusThread(id)`. Reads `BB_PROVIDER_CORPUS_DIR` (`manifest.json`,
`threads/<provider>/<id>/{meta.json,events.ndjson}`), validates rows at
the boundary with zod (ids must be one safe path segment), resolves each
thread through its manifest entry and fails unless `meta.json` and every
event row agree on id, provider, reasons, and row count, and decodes
event payloads with `@bb/domain` `parseStoredThreadEvent` +
`buildThreadEventRow` — the same path as the server's
`parseStoredEventRow`. `.gitignore` gets `**/provider-corpus/**` with
re-includes for the two in-repo directories of that name.
- **Row snapshots** —
`apps/server/test/provider-corpus/row-snapshots.test.ts` +
`corpus-harness.ts`. Each thread is inserted into in-memory SQLite with
its original ids, sequences, and timestamps (raw `INSERT` so nothing is
minted), then every timeline page is built via
`buildThreadTimelineWithProfile` with the options the route uses — event
budget from `defaultFeatureFlags`, inline-output limit from
`DEFAULT_MAX_INLINE_OUTPUT_CHARS`, display name and plan command from
the real provider registry (`createTestProviderRegistry()` loads the
first-party plugin declarations) through `resolveProviderPlanCommand`,
unhandled ops included, output truncation + preview — following the
route's own `olderCursor`. Two variants per thread: `default` (turn rows
summarized) and `nested` (`includeNestedRows`, children materialized).
Snapshots go to
`$BB_PROVIDER_CORPUS_DIR/snapshots/rows/<provider>/<threadId>.json`,
keys sorted. Nothing is blanked: no wall-clock value reaches the rows,
and write mode proves it by projecting every thread twice and requiring
byte equality. Compare mode fails on any diff not covered by
`snapshots/allowlist.json` (`threadId` | `provider` | `"*"` scope,
JSON-pointer or `*`/`**` glob path, `pr`, `reason`), prints a unified
diff for the first 3 differing threads plus a count, lists the entries
it used, and fails on entries that cover nothing.
- **Perf baselines** — `timeline-perf.test.ts`: 10 largest threads per
provider, latest page and full page walk, 5 profiled builds each after a
warm-up, stage p50s from `ThreadTimelineBuildProfile`, persisted `data`
bytes median/p95/total, rows produced. Written to
`snapshots/perf-baseline.json`; compare fails at baseline × 1.10 for
build cost and × 1.15 for median event size. **Deviation from the brief,
with data:** the gate uses a normalized cost — min build time ÷ min time
of a fixed CPU workload that shares no code with the timeline (JSON
codec + sort over a deterministic document, run once per sample right
before the builds) — not raw p50/p95. Raw p50 of the same commit swung
up to 30% between two back-to-back runs on this 16-core box at load ~6
(14 of 20 threads tripped a literal 1.10 gate on the very next run);
each side's minimum discards its own contended samples, interleaving
keeps both minima in one short window, and a workload outside the
timeline path means a uniform regression still moves the ratio. Raw
p50/p95 are still recorded and printed. Up to 3 attempts per thread
(write mode keeps the median attempt; compare stops at the first pass),
a 5 ms floor for tiny latest-page builds, and compare mode refuses a
baseline written with different gate settings. The table header reports
the load average and flags an oversubscribed machine.
- **CI micro-benchmark** — same file, no corpus: `synthetic-thread.ts`
builds a 10,019-event thread (every item kind, deltas, background tasks,
usage events) and walks all 12 pages. Gate: minimum of 5 walks under
1,500 ms (local minimum 150–170 ms; the ceiling is ~10× so a slow runner
passes while a quadratic regression still fails).
- **Permission matrix** —
`packages/agent-runtime/src/permission-matrix.test.ts`: the runtime
chokepoint `handleRuntimeProviderRequest` over permission policy (5
members of the discriminated union) × approval subject (5: command,
file_change, permission_grant, plan, tool_use) × `approvalEnforcedBy`
(2) × deny availability (2) = 100 cells, each a literal; `satisfies
Record<CellKey, Outcome>` plus `SameUnion` type guards against the
domain unions (dropping a row or a union member fails `tsc`, verified on
the stack), plus runtime assertions that every local subject kind parses
as a payload. The request goes through WS1a's real bridge-protocol
adapter. `apps/server/test/permissions/permission-matrix.test.ts`:
`resolvePermissionEscalation` over the 3 initiators and the 54-cell
runtime-permission-policy shape cross product (5 accepted), with the
reviewer vocabulary pinned to the policy union at the type level.
- **Seeds** — `scripts/provider-corpus/snapshot-rows.sh
[write|compare]`, `@bb/server#test:provider-corpus` (uncacheable,
`passThroughEnv` for the two variables — strict turbo env mode strips
them from the plain `test` task), and a "Provider corpus" section in
`docs/debugging-and-qa.md`.

### Permission matrix (runtime)

Outcome: `forward` = reaches `onInteractiveRequest` (user decides);
`auto-deny` = runtime answers deny; `encode-error` = runtime wants to
auto-deny but `deny` is not in `availableDecisions`, so the provider
gets a JSON-RPC error. Subject kind (command, file_change,
permission_grant, plan, tool_use) never changes the outcome, so the
table is collapsed over it (each row below is 5 cells).

| policy (mode/escalation) | approvalEnforcedBy | deny available |
outcome |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| accept-edits/ask | runtime | yes / no | forward |
| accept-edits/ask | provider | yes / no | forward |
| accept-edits/deny | runtime | yes | **auto-deny** |
| accept-edits/deny | runtime | no | **encode-error** |
| accept-edits/deny | provider | yes / no | forward |
| auto/ask | runtime | yes / no | forward |
| auto/ask | provider | yes / no | forward |
| auto/deny | runtime | yes | **auto-deny** |
| auto/deny | runtime | no | **encode-error** |
| auto/deny | provider | yes / no | forward |
| full/– | runtime | yes / no | forward |
| full/– | provider | yes / no | forward |

Bridge-kit predicate: `shouldAutoDenyInteractiveRequest` → ask: false,
deny: true, null: false.

Server escalation by initiator: user → ask; agent → deny; system → deny.
(On `main` the function also took the thread and was measured
identically for root, delegated-child, and fork threads; WS1a removed
the unused argument.)

Accepted runtime policy shapes (5 of 54):
accept-edits/workspace/user/{ask,deny},
auto/workspace/automatic/{ask,deny}, full/full/–/–.

Observations (pinned, not fixed):

1. Permission **mode** never auto-decides anything in the runtime or the
server. Only escalation does, and escalation is purely a function of the
turn initiator. Mode is translated into provider-native settings (codex
`approvalPolicy`/sandbox, Claude SDK `permissionMode`) and enforced by
the provider. So a runtime-enforced provider in `full` mode that did
send an approval would prompt the user.
2. The `encode-error` cells: on an agent- or system-initiated turn, a
runtime-enforced provider whose approval omits `deny` receives a
JSON-RPC error instead of a decision. Codex forwards the provider's own
decision list, so this is reachable in principle; no first-party bridge
omits deny today.
3. `plan` approvals are treated like any other subject by the runtime:
on a system-initiated turn with a runtime-enforced provider they are
auto-denied. Claude is provider-enforced and always forwards
`ExitPlanMode`, so only codex plan approvals can hit this.

## How you verified

- `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck --filter=@bb/server
--filter=@bb/test-helpers --filter=@bb/agent-runtime` — 6 tasks
successful.
- On the WS1a stack (`--concurrency 4`): `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck
--filter=@bb/agent-runtime --filter=@bb/server
--filter=@bb/test-helpers` green; `pnpm exec turbo run test
--filter=@bb/agent-runtime --filter=@bb/test-helpers` — 31 files, 434
tests passed (102 of them the matrix); `pnpm exec turbo run test
--filter=@bb/server` — 197 files, 1,886 tests passed, the one failure
again the local umask assertion. With the corpus set, the row snapshots
minted on `main` compare byte-identical under WS1a's v3 assembler:
307/307, 0 diffs.
- On `main` before the stack, corpus absent: `pnpm exec turbo run test
--filter=@bb/agent-runtime --filter=@bb/test-helpers` — 32 files, 504
tests passed (82 of them the matrix). `pnpm exec turbo run test
--filter=@bb/server` — 196 files passed, 1 skipped (the row-snapshot
suite), 1,884 tests passed; the single failure is the pre-existing
`internal-skill-trees` file-mode assertion (this checkout's umask 0002
yields 0664 where the test expects 0644; it fails on clean `main` here
and passes in CI). The two corpus suites report as skipped; the
synthetic benchmark runs (`Synthetic 10019-event thread: 12 pages, 1165
rows projected, full walk p50 174 ms`).
- Corpus present: `scripts/provider-corpus/snapshot-rows.sh compare` → 2
files, 328 tests passed (307 row snapshots + 20 perf threads + 1
synthetic).
- Row snapshot write mode: **307 threads, 93,262 rows (top-level +
nested children), 270.5 MB (283,656,293 bytes), 96.9 s wall**; compare
mode on the same commit: 73.1 s, 0 diffs. After switching the harness
from copied provider literals to the real registry, compare was still
307/307 with 0 diffs — the snapshots are byte-identical.
- Perf gate on the final estimator: baseline written at load 9.2,
compare on the same commit at load 5.7 passed 20/20 threads on the first
attempt, ratios 0.80–1.09× of baseline. Every one of the 330,626 corpus
events decodes with today's `parseStoredThreadEvent` (426 MB of `data`).
- Allowlist machinery exercised by mutating one snapshot: compare fails
with the unified diff; an entry covering
`/variants/*/pages/*/rows/*/text` for that thread passes; a stale entry
fails with "every snapshots/allowlist.json entry must cover at least one
diff".
- Exhaustiveness guards exercised: deleting one matrix row → `TS2741
Property '"full/-|plan|provider|deny-unavailable"' is missing`; dropping
`"provider"` from the enforcer list → `SameUnion` becomes `false` and
the `satisfies` rejects the extra keys.

…bridge to grammar v3 with presentation (#2164)

Stacked on #2121 (corpus harness + permission matrix,
`bb/provider-baselines`) ← #2148 (WS2a) ← #2153 (recordings) ← #2136
(WS1a) ← #2124 (contract). WS1b-codex of the provider-plugin migration:
the codex bridge speaks grammar v3 with a presentation on every item,
its natives map to the core kinds, bb-injected tools carry their
presentation, goals and the macOS permission profile are codex extension
kinds, and the codex v2 path is deleted.

**Do not merge.** Coordinator reviews, Sawyer merges the stack.

## Stack

contract #2124 → WS1a #2136 → recordings #2153 (incl. #2177 and the
`PARITY_INITIALIZE_ID` follow-up) → WS2a #2148 → corpus harness #2121 →
**this PR** → WS1b-claude #2178. Six commits: the five codex layers
below plus one `parity:` commit carrying this PR's allowlist entries and
the codex `bridge→runtime.current.ndjson` lanes re-recorded against this
bridge with #2153's `pnpm rerecord --provider codex --plan-with <main
checkout>`. No vendored harness copies remain (they were needed only
while #2153 was outside the stack). The A4 corpus check was run from a
throwaway worktree with #2121's harness cherry-picked on top, since
#2121 is not in the stack.

## What was wrong

The codex bridge emitted v2-shaped items: no presentation (core
thread-view kept codex's tool-name tables), native sub-agents as `tool`
items named `spawnAgent`, `update_plan` as a turn-level event the UI
discards, goals as core `thread/goal/*` events, bb-injected tools
without `server`, and a macOS permission profile on a command approval
failed the whole approval. Open work rode an out-of-band
`thread/openWork` notification.

## What changed (one commit per layer; the last deletes)

1. **Presentation on every item.open/close** —
`plugins/provider-codex/src/presentation.ts` is the one place codex
tool-name knowledge lives: shell commands (wrapper stripped from the
headline), file edits, the bundled `node_repl` server ("Ran JavaScript"
with the call's title), other MCP servers by tool name, dynamic tools,
collab verbs, web search/fetch, image views, reasoning, messages, plans,
compactions, the synthesized sub-agent spawn. An invariant suite drives
one item per codex native through the real translator and asserts every
lifecycle delta carries one.
2. **Delegation + planSteps** — the synthesized native sub-agent is a
foreground `delegation` (`childRef` = agent thread id, `label` =
agentPath); a follow-up to a settled agent re-opens the same item and
the row closes only when the agent owes nothing more (the exact
open-work predicate); a dead app-server child settles its open
delegations as failed on the wire. A collab call that names its receiver
is a delegation to it; a bare `wait` stays a tool item with its collab
presentation. `turn/plan/updated` becomes a settled `planSteps` snapshot
per update. `RuntimeBackgroundWorkState` counts a pending delegation as
open work. **Thread-view projects a `delegation` item to the existing
delegation row with the child content nested** — without this the row
and every child message under it vanish before the projection workstream
lands (the projection suppresses orphans with a `parentToolCallId`).
`planSteps` items are not projected yet (status quo: codex plans were
discarded).
3. **bb-injected tools carry their presentation** (Q31) —
`bb.agents.registerTool({ experimental_presentation })` (+
`docs/api_to_audit.md`); the server resolves one presentation per tool
at its boundary (declaration → status labels → generic label + the
plugin's branding glyph / `Toolbox`) onto `DynamicTool.presentation`;
the codex bridge emits calls to injected tools as `{ server: "bb", tool
}` with that presentation. ask-user-question and workflows declare
theirs (AskUserQuestion and `bb_workflow_result` collapse by default).
`HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` 149 → 150 (149 is WS2a's #2148, this PR's
base; the history reads 147 → 148 → 149 → 150). The field is optional
and `dynamicToolSchema` is not strict, so an older daemon strips it and
keeps working; the bump follows the repository rule for a widened
server↔daemon wire. Optional per A1: every committed recording's runtime
lane predates the field and must keep replaying; the stabilization pass
makes it required.
4. **Goals + macOS profile as codex extension kinds** —
`provider-codex/goal` (state; `null` once cleared) and
`provider-codex/macos-permission` (item) declared on the registration
with plugin-owned zod schemas (`extension-kinds.ts`). The bridge emits
goals as extension state. A command approval asking for macOS
capabilities now reaches the user for the command; the profile rides the
timeline as its own row saying bb cannot grant it (the plugin-rendered
approval is WS5's). **Read-time conversion in core:**
`parseStoredThreadEvent` decodes persisted `thread/goal/updated|cleared`
rows into the extension state (the one path every stored-event read
takes); thread-view goal extraction and the runtime's goal-clear wait
read that state. The sidebar's latest-goal query becomes a
latest-thread-state-by-kind query (partial index widened to
`thread/extensionState/updated`, migration **0106** `thread_state_index`
— regenerated with Drizzle so its snapshot chains from WS2a's 0105
`provider_settings_to_plugins`; `json_extract` kind filter). Verified
against the corpus: the 721-row goal thread renders its goal unchanged.
5. **Delete the codex v2 path** — `thread.goal`/`thread.goalCleared`
leave the grammar and assembler (G3 snapshot updated;
`PROVIDER_BRIDGE_PROTOCOL_VERSION` stays 2 under the grammar range, as
WS1a's v2 deletion did); the `thread/openWork` notification leaves the
protocol, adapter and reaper (an unknown notification is ignored); the
bridge drops its open-work reporting and the hard-coded AskUserQuestion
presentation. Kept: the bridge's knowledge of its spawn/resume collab
verbs for a receiver-less call — tool-name knowledge in the bridge is
the point, not a remnant. The `thread/goal/*` domain event types remain
as read-only legacy vocabulary.

Naming note: the spec says `codex/goal`; the extension-kind namespace is
the **plugin id**, which is `provider-codex`, and that is how the
registry resolves the schema.

## Regression oracle

All turbo invocations with `--concurrency 4`; perf suite ignored
(known-noisy, flagged on #2121).

- **Conformance**: codex scripted suite + recorded conformance over all
17 recorded cells (incl. archived-resume, auth-failure, empty-rollout,
missing-rollout) green.
- **Parity (A2)**, `pnpm parity --old <origin/main worktree at
f6fb434> --new . --provider codex`: **16 passed, 0 failed, 1 skipped**
(process-scoped `model-list`). Event and row counts equal in every cell.
`recordings/parity-allowlist.json` names every intended
byte-inequivalence with `#2164` and a reason — 26 entries, four classes:
`presentation` on items (15 cells), `server: "bb"` on the
AskUserQuestion call (user-question), the sub-agent spawn as a
`delegation` item + its row (`subagent`, events `/6` `/28`, rows
`/0/children/0/{toolName,output}`), and `thread/goal/cleared` →
`provider-codex/goal` extension state (one event index in each of 6
goal-bearing cells). Zero unlisted diffs, zero stale entries.
claude-code **13/13** and acp-cursor **10/10** replay against main with
**zero diffs** (no entries).
- **Corpus (A4)**, 307 threads / 93,262 rows: **zero diffs**,
claude-code and codex alike; no corpus allowlist entry was needed (the
only read-time change, goals, projects identically by design).
- **G11**: `provider/unhandled` flat on every codex cell (0→0;
auth-failure 1→1) and on the corpus.
- **G1**: 209 → 209 (no provider-id literal added or removed in core;
`"provider-codex/goal"` is not a provider-id literal by the ratchet's
regex).
- **Parity self-suite** (#2153's, in the stack): 43/43 with the codex
current lanes re-recorded against this bridge; row-count pins
**unchanged** (every current lane assembles to exactly the pinned
counts); the claude/acp current lanes #2153 produced on WS1a's bridges
hold as they are.

Tests on the final stack (all forced, `--concurrency 4`, one turbo at a
time): db 406 (migration chain 0104 → 0105 → 0106 incl.
replay-on-existing-DB cases), agent-runtime 337, codex 193 (scripted +
recorded conformance), host-daemon-contract 52, provider-parity 43;
typecheck green for codex, agent-runtime, provider-parity, server, db.
Earlier full sweep before the re-stacks: domain 150, thread-view 382,
provider-bridge-protocol 218, plugin-sdk 127, host-daemon 552,
integration 55, claude-code 262, acp 182, workflows 223,
ask-user-question 36, scripted echo 1; server 1828/1829 (the one failure
is the known local umask case in `internal-skill-trees`, passes in CI);
typecheck green across 25 packages incl. app, mobile, cli.

## Not done

- **Live QA cells via bb-dev-app**
(turn/steer/stop/approve/deny/question/subagent/resume/fork/plan with
screenshots) — not run; the coordinator schedules them separately.
- `planSteps` rows are not projected by thread-view (no regression:
codex plans were discarded before); the projection workstream owns it.
- The plugin-rendered macOS approval (the profile round-trips only as a
visible row today) — WS5.

… presentation (#2178)

Stacked on #2164 (WS1b-codex,
`bb/ws1b-codex-codex-bridge-to-v3-stack-on-2136-thr_xnid5ftd87`), which
sits on WS2a #2148 → the corpus harness #2121 → the recordings harness
#2153 → WS1a #2136 → the contract #2124 (SDK 0.4.11 at the bottom).
WS1b-claude of the provider-plugin migration: the Claude Code bridge
speaks grammar v3 with a presentation on every item, Claude's tool-name
knowledge moves out of core thread-view into the bridge, and the
bridge's last Claude-specific result structure is deleted.

**Do not merge.** Coordinator reviews, Sawyer merges the stack.

Stacked on codex rather than WS1a on purpose: codex added the minimal
thread-view projection of `delegation` items (row + nested child
content) that Claude's `Agent`/`Task` sub-agents need. The recordings +
parity harness beneath this PR is the real #2153 (in the chain, with
`pnpm rerecord` and the `PARITY_INITIALIZE_ID` fix); the one harness
file this PR touches is `redact.mjs` (bare-message ndjson, dash-encoded
home paths). The corpus harness #2121 is in the chain too; the A4 run
below is native to this tree.

## What was wrong

The Claude bridge emitted v2-shaped items: no presentation (core
thread-view kept Claude's tool-name tables — `Read`/`Grep`/`Glob`
intents, the `Agent`/`Task` delegation row, the TodoWrite/Task*
suppression list and todo reducer), `Read` as an opaque `tool` item (the
top generic tool in the production corpus: 7,568 calls), `Agent` as a
`tool` item named Agent, TodoWrite/TaskCreate/TaskUpdate as tool rows a
core reducer had to understand, bb-injected tools as
`mcp__bb-bridge__<name>` without `server`, and a structured task-tool
`result` that core parsed — and which never matched in production,
because the persisted result was the SDK's friendly string, so the task
banner did not work for the Task tools.

## What changed (one commit per layer; the last deletes)

0. **Transcript → SDK-stream converter and fixtures** (the spec's first
task). `scripts/provider-recordings/convert-claude-transcript.mjs` turns
a `~/.claude/projects` session (plus its
`<session>/subagents/agent-*.jsonl` sidechains, interleaved by timestamp
with `parent_tool_use_id` from the subagent's `toolUseId`) into the SDK
stream the bridge would have seen. A transcript has no `result`, no
`system/init` and no `task_*` family, so the converter synthesizes them
deterministically: a `result` per segment (a root message that stops
with a non-tool-use reason, the next prompt, EOF),
`task_started`/`task_updated`/`task_notification` for Agent calls from
the call, its result (`async_launched` ⇒ backgrounded) and the
`<task-notification>` resume,
`api_retry`/model-fallback/`compact_boundary` from the system records.
Human prompts only delimit turns — a live stream never echoes them
(verified against every committed recording); CLI-injected user messages
(isMeta context, task notifications) do stream and are kept.
`convert-claude-transcripts-sample.sh` rebuilds the committed sample:
**12 sessions/windows, 1,076 messages (331 sidechain records), 1.85 MB
after redaction**, all from the owner's own corpus threads: plan mode +
AskUserQuestion + ExitPlanMode, WebSearch, WebFetch + Read, Edit/Write,
foreground and backgrounded Agents with their sidechains,
TaskCreate/TaskUpdate + `model_refusal_fallback`, Workflow + Monitor +
TaskStop, TaskOutput, ScheduleWakeup, SendMessage, `api_retry`,
`compact_boundary`, `mcp__bb-bridge__` tools. Grep, Glob, TodoWrite,
MultiEdit and NotebookEdit appear in none of the 2,559 local
transcripts; those paths are covered by scripted unit tests.
`transcript-fixtures.test.ts` drives each fixture through the
`sdk/message` envelope into a real assembler and checks structural
invariants (every tool_use opens an item its tool_result settles,
sidechain items nest under the spawning call, every turn settles,
nothing left open, every started item presented) plus a pinned
projection per fixture in `expected.json` (item kinds, tool names, plan
snapshots, `provider/unhandled`, which may only go down).
1. **Presentation on every item; the v3 kinds** —
`plugins/provider-claude-code/src/presentation.ts` is the one place
Claude's tool-name knowledge lives; `tool-classification.ts` maps every
tool_use to its shape with that presentation. `Read` → `fileRead`;
`Grep` → `search{content}`, `Glob` → `search{path}`;
`Edit`/`Write`/`MultiEdit`/`NotebookEdit` → `fileChange` with per-verb
labels; `Bash` → `command` (a backgrounded call is labelled as a
launch); `WebSearch`/`WebFetch` as before with presentation.
`Agent`/`Task` → `delegation` (`childRef` = the call id, which is how
the SDK identifies the sub-agent's stream: `parent_tool_use_id`;
`background: true` for `run_in_background`, settling at the launch ack
on the thread-scoped family; summary = the result text without Claude's
`agentId:`/`<usage>` lines; sub-agent type and model in the presentation
detail). `TodoWrite` → a collapsed call row plus a settled `planSteps`
snapshot from its arguments;
`TaskCreate`/`TaskUpdate`/`TaskList`/`TaskGet` → a collapsed call row
plus a `planSteps` snapshot of the thread's folded task list
(`plan-fold.ts`, reading the SDK's envelope-level `tool_use_result`)
after each successful call — channel-keyed close deltas, the latest
superseding, the same shape as codex `update_plan`. `ToolSearch`,
`TaskOutput`, `Monitor`, `ScheduleWakeup`, `SendMessage`,
`AskUserQuestion`, `TodoRead`, `BashOutput` → `tool` with
`presentation.suppress`; plan mode, Workflow, TaskStop, Skill,
StructuredOutput, worktrees, ListAgents → `tool` with their own
labels/glyphs/titles; an unknown tool reads `Running <tool>`/`Ran
<tool>`. `mcp__<server>__<tool>` splits into `{ server, tool }`. The
compaction item and every close-without-open fallback carry one too; the
close re-states the open's. **Thread-view keeps the new kinds
rendering** until the presentation-driven projection lands (the same
minimal bridge codex added for `delegation`): `fileRead`/`search` items
project to the tool row with the intents the legacy Read/Grep/Glob calls
produced (tested equal to the legacy rows); a tool call whose
presentation says `suppress` is hidden like the legacy name list
(failures still render); the todo banner reads a `planSteps` snapshot
as-is. No persisted-event projection changed: the legacy tables stay for
old rows (G1 unchanged).
2. **Background tasks carry their presentation** — workflows,
backgrounded shells and backgrounded sub-agents stay the core
`backgroundTask` kind (genericity rule) and say how they read on
open/close. Model fallback and `/clear` stay the core events they are.
3. **bb-injected tools** (Q31) — a `mcp__bb-bridge__<name>` call is `{
server: "bb", tool: <bare name> }` with the presentation the server
resolved onto the `DynamicTool` definition, learned through
`configureInjectedTools` at session construction; a definition without
one presents generically under bb's glyph. The server's `statusLabels`
enrichment skips items with a server, so nothing relies on it.
4. **Delete the Claude v2 translation path** — the task tools'
structured `result` (the shape core's legacy todo reducer read) is gone;
the tool row carries the text result like every tool and `planSteps` is
the one structured form core sees. The bridge no longer imports the
SDK's claude task-tool schemas. Kept on purpose: the bridge's knowledge
of its own tool names, and the close-without-open fallback.

`HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` stays **150**: nothing on the
server↔daemon wire changed (translation and an item-shape change inside
the `thread/delta` lane only).

## Regression oracle

All turbo invocations with `--concurrency 4`; perf suite ignored
(known-noisy, flagged on #2121). Old leg: an `origin/main` worktree at
`f6fb434ab`.

- **Conformance**: claude scripted suite + recorded conformance over all
14 recorded cells (incl. auth-failure, plan-mode, subagent,
user-question) green. The claude `bridge→runtime.current.ndjson` lanes
are re-recorded with this bridge (`pnpm rerecord --plan-with <main
checkout> --provider claude-code`); the recordings themselves are
untouched and the self-suite's row-count pins are **unchanged** (43/43).
- **Parity (A2)**, `pnpm parity --old <origin/main worktree> --new .
--provider claude-code`: **13 passed, 0 failed, 1 skipped**
(process-scoped `model-list`). Event and row counts equal in every cell.
`recordings/parity-allowlist.json` gains 27 entries naming `#2178`,
three classes:
- `presentation` on items — `/*/item/presentation`, events, 9 cells
(approval-allow, approval-deny, compaction, plan-mode, steer, subagent,
turn-tools, user-question, web-search; the other 4 cells have no items).
- Read → `fileRead` — plan-mode events `/2`, `/4`, `/24`, `/25`; rows
`/0/children/{0,5}/{toolName, toolArgs, output,
activityIntents/0/command, activityIntents/0/name}` (the row projects
from a fileRead item: no tool name or arguments, the file contents are
not row data, the intent command is `Read <path>`).
- Agent → `delegation` — subagent events `/6`, `/13`; rows
`/0/children/0/toolName` ("delegation") and `/0/children/0/subagentType`
(the delegation item has no such field; the type rides the presentation
detail).
Zero unlisted diffs, zero stale entries. codex **16/16** and acp-cursor
**10/10** replay against main with **zero new diffs** (no entries added;
nothing of theirs touched). The expected "suppressed low-value rows" and
"planSteps" classes produce no parity diff: no recorded cell calls
Monitor/TaskOutput/ScheduleWakeup/SendMessage or TodoWrite/Task*, and
ToolSearch/AskUserQuestion were already hidden by name.
- **Corpus (A4)**, 307 threads / 93,262 rows: **zero diffs**,
claude-code and codex alike, no corpus allowlist entry needed. Persisted
Claude events are `toolCall` items without presentation, and every
thread-view change here applies only to the v3 kinds and to
`presentation.suppress` — the legacy tables and reducer are untouched —
so old rows project identically by construction.
- **G11**: `provider/unhandled` flat on every claude cell (0→0;
compaction and steer 2→2) and on the corpus; pinned per transcript
fixture (23 across 12 fixtures, every one a CLI-injected string-content
`user` message — compaction summaries, `<task-notification>` resumes —
which visibility classifies `unknown` today; lowering that is a separate
change).
- **G1**: unchanged (no provider-id literal added or removed in core;
the legacy Claude tool-name tables stay for persisted rows).

Tests (forced): thread-view 385, claude-code 322, codex 193,
provider-bridge-protocol 218, provider-parity 43; server 1832/1833 (the
one failure is the known local umask case in `internal-skill-trees`,
which passes in CI). Typecheck green for the claude plugin, thread-view,
server and agent-runtime on the re-stacked base.

## Not done

- **Live QA cells via bb-dev-app**
(turn/steer/stop/approve/deny/question/subagent/resume/fork/plan with
screenshots) — not run; the recorded cells, the transcript fixtures and
parity were the oracle.
- `planSteps` rows are not projected as timeline rows (status quo:
TodoWrite/Task* rows were hidden); the banner reads them. The
presentation-driven projection workstream owns the rows.
- The delegation row loses the "(Explore)" sub-agent-type suffix for new
Claude sub-agent rows until the projection reads the presentation detail
(allowlisted; old rows unaffected).
- Backgrounded `Agent` calls keep today's two-row structure (the
delegation settles at the launch ack; the `local_agent` background task
tracks the work). Folding the task into a single background delegation
is a larger change to the runtime's open-work tracking and the
background-commands card.
- String-content `sdk/user` messages (task-notification resumes,
compaction summaries) still surface as `provider/unhandled`; the
fixtures show they are the whole G11 residue for Claude. A one-line
visibility change would lower it but changes parity for the
steer/compaction cells, so it is left for a deliberate follow-up.

## What was wrong

`plugins/provider-acp/server.ts` declared `fork: "tip"` for every
built-in ACP agent through `ACP_BASE_CAPABILITIES`. The server projects
that to `supportsFork: true` (the `POST /api/v1/threads/fork` gate and
the app's "Fork into new thread" action). But neither `cursor-agent acp`
(2026.08.11) nor `grok agent stdio` advertises
`sessionCapabilities.fork` in its ACP `initialize` reply, so the
bridge's per-session guard (`bridge.ts`: "does not advertise
session/fork support") rejected the fork only after the server had
already created and started the fork thread. The thread landed in
`status: error` with `system/error { code: thread_command_failed }`.
Issue: #1833. Report: https://get-bb.github.io/reports/issues/1833.html

The issue suggested deriving fork per agent at initialize time. That is
not a drop-in: the agent's `initialize` happens per session inside the
bridge after the server has created the thread, and there is no
daemon-to-server capability channel. The declaration is the server-side
source of truth (same as `supportsManualCompaction`), so it has to match
the agent.

## What changed

- `plugins/provider-acp/server.ts`: `acp-cursor` and `acp-grok` now
declare `fork: "none"`. The base stays `"tip"`; opencode, omp
(oh-my-pi), and hermes-agent all advertise `sessionCapabilities.fork` in
their ACP adapters (checked upstream sources:
`packages/opencode/src/acp/service.ts`,
`packages/coding-agent/src/modes/acp/acp-agent.ts`,
`acp_adapter/server.py`). Added a comment on the base capability
explaining why the declaration must match the agent.
-
`apps/server/test/services/plugins/first-party-provider-plugins.test.ts`:
the golden pin now records the fork ladder per first-party provider and
asserts `registration.serverCapabilities.fork`,
`registry.supportsFork()`, and the composed
`ProviderInfo.capabilities.supportsFork` against it.

Effects: `POST /threads/fork` on a Cursor or Grok thread returns HTTP
400 `Provider acp-cursor does not support thread forks` without creating
a thread; the app hides the fork action for those providers; the
declared ceiling that rides `bridgeLaunch.capabilities.fork` to the
daemon also becomes `"none"`, so the runtime rejects `thread/fork`
before spawning the agent.

No wire shape changes (the existing `fork` field just carries a
different value), so no `HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` bump. No CLI or
config surface changes. Custom `acp-*` agents still fall back to the
tier-wide `"tip"`; giving them a per-agent `fork` config field is a
separate change.

## How you verified

Probed the agents directly (same `initialize` request the bridge sends):

```
$ node probe.mjs cursor-agent acp     -> sessionCapabilities: { list: {} }                 fork advertised: false
$ node probe.mjs grok agent stdio     -> sessionCapabilities: { list, resume, close }      fork advertised: false
```

New test fails on origin/main with the test file applied and the plugin
unchanged:

```
FAIL test/services/plugins/first-party-provider-plugins.test.ts > first-party provider plugins > are the sole source of the built-in providers
AssertionError: acp-cursor: expected 'tip' to be 'none' // Object.is equality
```

Passes on this branch (`Tests 2 passed (2)`).

From the committed tree (`git status --porcelain` empty):

```
pnpm exec turbo run typecheck --filter=@bb/server --filter=bb-plugin-provider-acp
 Tasks:    6 successful, 6 total
pnpm exec turbo run test --filter=@bb/server --filter=bb-plugin-provider-acp
 bb-plugin-provider-acp: Tests 181 passed (181)
 @bb/server: Test Files 1 failed | 194 passed (195); Tests 1 failed | 1822 passed (1823)
```

The one server failure is `test/internal/internal-skill-trees.test.ts`
(`mode: 420` vs `436`), the known local umask 0002 failure unrelated to
this change; it passes here under `umask 022` and in CI.

Manual repro on this branch against a dev instance of this worktree:

```
$ curl -s $BB_SERVER_URL/api/v1/system/providers | ... supportsFork
codex True / claude-code True / pi True / acp-cursor False / acp-grok False
$ pnpm bb:dev thread spawn --provider acp-cursor ... --prompt "Reply only with ok."   -> thr_7u6gb8ppn2, reached idle
$ pnpm bb:dev thread fork thr_7u6gb8ppn2 --workspace reuse --prompt "Reply only with ok." --json
Error: Failed to fork thread thr_7u6gb8ppn2: HTTP 400: Provider acp-cursor does not support thread forks
$ GET /threads?projectId=...   -> only thr_7u6gb8ppn2 (idle); no fork thread created
```

Fixes #1833

## Rebase

Rebased onto `origin/main` (`cf00cfe06`) after the grammar-v3 bridge
stack (#2148 `bb.providers.register` + single `ProviderInfo`, #2179
WS1b-acp) rewrote both touched files. The fix maps 1:1 onto the new
code:

- `plugins/provider-acp/server.ts`: the declarations now carry
`experimental_strings` / `experimental_serviceTiers` and register
through `bb.providers.register`, but `ACP_BASE_CAPABILITIES.fork: "tip"`
and the per-agent `capabilities` spreads are unchanged, so the `fork:
"none"` overrides for `acp-cursor` and `acp-grok` and the base comment
apply as before. Still no wire-shape change, so no
`HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` bump.
-
`apps/server/test/services/plugins/first-party-provider-plugins.test.ts`:
main dropped `supportsWorkflows` from the golden pin (conflict resolved
by adding only the `fork` ladder), and #2148 added a new test, "pins the
client-read ProviderInfo fields of the four core providers", that pinned
`acp-cursor` at `supportsFork: true`. That pin now reads `supportsFork:
false` with a `#1833` comment; `supportsSessionRewind: false` is
unchanged. The fork-ladder assertions in the first test
(`registration.serverCapabilities.fork`, `registry.supportsFork()`,
composed `ProviderInfo.capabilities.supportsFork`) carried over
verbatim; `serverCapabilities.fork` still exists on main
(`plugin-provider-registration.ts` projects `supportsFork:
capabilities.fork !== "none"`).

Re-verified on the new base. With `plugins/provider-acp/server.ts`
reverted to `origin/main` and the test file in place, the tests fail (so
main does not already cover the bug):

```
FAIL ... > are the sole source of the built-in providers
AssertionError: acp-cursor: expected 'tip' to be 'none' // Object.is equality
FAIL ... > pins the client-read ProviderInfo fields of the four core providers
AssertionError: expected { id: 'acp-cursor', …(8) } to strictly equal { id: 'acp-cursor', …(8) }
Tests 2 failed | 1 passed (3)
```

With the fix restored: `Tests 3 passed (3)`. From the committed tree
(`git status --porcelain` empty):

```
pnpm exec turbo run typecheck --filter=@bb/server --filter=bb-plugin-provider-acp
 Tasks:    6 successful, 6 total
pnpm exec turbo run test --filter=@bb/server --filter=bb-plugin-provider-acp
 bb-plugin-provider-acp: Test Files 15 passed (15); Tests 196 passed (196)
 @bb/server: Test Files 1 failed | 197 passed | 1 skipped (199); Tests 1 failed | 1896 passed (1897)
```

The one server failure is again
`test/internal/internal-skill-trees.test.ts` (`mode: 420` vs `436`), the
known local umask 0002 failure; it passes in CI.

## Independent verification

Verified by a second agent on a separate worktree (branch
`verify-1833-r1` = `ece689920`, `origin/main` is an ancestor,
`mergeable: MERGEABLE`).

Commands run:

```
git fetch origin main && git fetch origin bb/fix-1833-acp-cursor-fork && git checkout -b verify-1833-r1 FETCH_HEAD
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline && pnpm exec turbo run build

pnpm exec turbo run typecheck --filter=@bb/server --filter=bb-plugin-provider-acp
pnpm exec turbo run test --filter=@bb/server --filter=bb-plugin-provider-acp --force
```

Fail-before / pass-after:

- With `plugins/provider-acp/server.ts` reverted to `origin/main` and
the PR's test file in place: `Tests 1 failed | 1 passed (2)` with
`AssertionError: acp-cursor: expected 'tip' to be 'none' // Object.is
equality`.
- With the PR's source restored: `Tests 2 passed (2)`.

Typecheck and tests:

- `turbo typecheck` for `@bb/server` and `bb-plugin-provider-acp`:
`Tasks: 6 successful, 6 total`.
- `turbo test`: `bb-plugin-provider-acp` 14 files passed; `@bb/server`
1822 passed, 1 failed. The single failure is
`test/internal/internal-skill-trees.test.ts` (`mode: 420` vs `436`), the
known umask-0002 environment failure on this workstation; it also fails
on clean `main` here and passes in CI.

Repro on the fixed branch (own dev instance, server :20051, data dir
under `~/.bb-dev`, deleted afterwards):

- `GET /api/v1/system/providers` -> `acp-cursor False`, `acp-grok False`
(codex/claude-code/pi still `True`).
- Spawned an `acp-cursor` thread (`thr_4gh8bikbv6`), waited to `idle`,
then `pnpm bb:dev thread fork thr_4gh8bikbv6 --workspace reuse --prompt
"Reply only with ok." --json` -> `HTTP 400: Provider acp-cursor does not
support thread forks`. Thread list for the project still holds only the
source thread (`idle`); no errored fork thread was created. The original
symptom no longer reproduces.

CI: 11 checks pass, 2 skipped (Node Compatibility Smoke, iOS simulator
flows), none failing.

Review notes:

- Root-cause fix at the right layer: the server-side declaration is the
fork gate and the app affordance, and its value also rides
`bridgeLaunch.capabilities.fork` to the runtime adapter's
`effectiveFork()` ceiling, so `thread/fork` is refused before the agent
is spawned. No wire shape change, so no protocol bump is needed.
- Residual risk: custom `acp-*` agents configured through
`customAcpAgents` still inherit the tier-wide
`ACP_TIER_CAPABILITIES.supportsFork: true`
(`apps/server/src/services/providers/acp-provider-tier.ts`), so a custom
agent without `session/fork` still hits the errored-thread path. A
per-agent `fork` field on that config is a sensible follow-up, not a
blocker for this PR. opencode/omp/hermes fork support was checked from
upstream sources only (not installed here).

## Independent verification (post-rebase)

Re-verified by a second agent after the rebase onto the grammar-v3
bridge rewrite (branch `verify-2150-rb` = `2d84751d9`, one commit on
`cf00cfe06`). `origin/main` had moved one more commit (`fcada5a3b`,
#2120 provider-literal ratchet) by the time of this check; a local `git
merge --no-commit origin/main` was clean (the ratchet scans core only
and excludes `plugins/provider-*`), and GitHub reports `mergeable:
MERGEABLE`.

Does the fix still target the right code path after the v3 rewrite? Yes:

- `apps/server/src/services/threads/thread-fork.ts:39`
(`requireForkCapableProvider`) still gates `POST /threads/fork` on
`providerRegistry.supportsFork()`, which for a registered plugin
provider reads `registration.info.capabilities.supportsFork` = `fork !==
"none"` (`plugin-provider-registration.ts:211`).
- The app still reads `ProviderInfo.capabilities.supportsFork`
(`useForkThreadFromMessage.ts:54`, `ThreadDetailView.tsx:977`,
`RootComposeView.tsx:538`).
- `provider-bridge-launch.ts:48-50` still forwards
`registration.serverCapabilities.fork` to the daemon, and
`packages/agent-runtime/src/bridge-protocol-adapter.ts`
`effectiveFork()` still takes the declaration as a ceiling over the
handshake, so `thread/fork` is refused before cursor-agent is spawned.
- The v3 bridge (`plugins/provider-acp/src/bridge/bridge.ts`) still
advertises `fork: "tip"` unconditionally in its handshake (line ~2372)
and only checks `agentCapabilities.sessionCapabilities.fork` per session
at agent initialize (lines 1718-1721, "does not advertise session/fork
support"). Nothing in the rewrite made the static declaration redundant;
it is still the only up-front gate.

Commands run:

```
git fetch origin main && git fetch origin bb/fix-1833-acp-cursor-fork && git checkout -b verify-2150-rb FETCH_HEAD
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline && pnpm exec turbo run build
git checkout origin/main -- plugins/provider-acp/server.ts
cd apps/server && pnpm exec vitest run test/services/plugins/first-party-provider-plugins.test.ts
git checkout HEAD -- plugins/provider-acp/server.ts
cd apps/server && pnpm exec vitest run test/services/plugins/first-party-provider-plugins.test.ts
pnpm exec turbo run typecheck --filter=@bb/server --filter=bb-plugin-provider-acp
pnpm exec turbo run test --filter=@bb/server --filter=bb-plugin-provider-acp --force
```

Fail-before / pass-after (only non-test source file is
`plugins/provider-acp/server.ts`):

- With `server.ts` from `origin/main` and the PR's test file: `Tests 2
failed | 1 passed (3)`. Failing assertions: `AssertionError: acp-cursor:
expected 'tip' to be 'none' // Object.is equality` and, in the #2148 pin
test, `AssertionError: expected { id: 'acp-cursor', …(8) } to strictly
equal { id: 'acp-cursor', …(8) }` (supportsFork true vs false).
- With the PR's source restored: `Tests 3 passed (3)`.

Typecheck and tests (from the committed tree, `git status --porcelain`
empty):

- `turbo typecheck`: `Tasks: 6 successful, 6 total`.
- `turbo test`: `bb-plugin-provider-acp` Test Files 15 passed (15);
`@bb/server` Tests 1 failed | 1896 passed (1897). The single failure is
`test/internal/internal-skill-trees.test.ts` (`mode: 420` vs `436`), the
known umask-0002 local failure; it passes in CI.

Repro on the fixed branch (own dev instance, server :26547, data dir
under `~/.bb-dev`, deleted afterwards):

- `GET /api/v1/system/providers` -> `codex True`, `claude-code True`,
`pi True`, `acp-cursor False`, `acp-grok False`.
- Spawned an `acp-cursor` thread (`thr_2c8kkaj7rz`) with cursor-agent
2026.08.11, waited to `idle`, then `pnpm bb:dev thread fork
thr_2c8kkaj7rz --workspace reuse --prompt "Reply only with ok." --json`
-> `HTTP 400: Provider acp-cursor does not support thread forks`. A
direct `POST /api/v1/threads/fork` also returned 400. The project's
thread list still holds only the source thread (`idle`); no errored fork
thread was created. The original symptom no longer reproduces.

CI on `2d84751d9`: all checks pass (server, packages, integration,
app-1/2/3, both Package Smoke runners, Checks, version check); iOS
simulator flows and Node Compatibility Smoke skipped; none pending or
failing.

Residual risks (unchanged from the pre-rebase review): custom `acp-*`
agents configured through `customAcpAgents` still fall back to
`ACP_TIER_CAPABILITIES.supportsFork: true`
(`apps/server/src/services/providers/acp-provider-tier.ts:43`) and can
still hit the errored-thread path; a per-agent `fork` field on that
config is a follow-up. No wire shape change (the `fork` field already
rides `bridgeLaunch.capabilities`; only its value for two providers
changes), so no `HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` bump is needed.

## What was wrong

Codex labels each reconnect attempt with a structured `codexErrorInfo`
(for example `{ responseStreamDisconnected: { httpStatusCode } }`,
`willRetry: true`, failure text in `additionalDetails`), then reports
the terminal failure for the same stream error with `codexErrorInfo:
"other"` and the failure text moved to `message`. That downgrade is
upstream: codex-rs `notify_stream_error` always labels retries
`ResponseStreamDisconnected`, while `CodexErr::to_codex_protocol_error`
maps `CodexErrorDetails::Stream` to `CodexErrorInfo::Other`. The bridge
trusted the terminal value, so the final timeline row lost the
`stream-disconnected` category and rendered as a generic **Provider
error** (the detail text is longer than the 80-char title budget, so the
disconnect cause was only visible after expanding the row).

Issue: #1840. The independent report URL
(https://get-bb.github.io/reports/issues/1840.html) returns 404; the
issue body and #1563 carry the repro.

## What changed

- `plugins/provider-codex/src/delta-translation.ts`: the translation
state remembers the retry-time `codexErrorInfo` and failure text per
codex `threadId\0turnId`. A terminal (`willRetry: false`) error whose
`codexErrorInfo` is `other` and whose failure text equals the remembered
retry text reuses the retry classification. The context is consumed by
the terminal error, dropped on `turn/completed`, and never crosses
turns. Unrelated terminal errors and every non-`other` terminal value
keep the provider-reported classification. No provider prose is parsed.
- `plugins/provider-codex/src/translator.ts`: `thread/closed` also
clears the retry context for that codex thread (exported
`clearCodexEventTranslationThreadState`).
- No wire change between server and host daemon: the `provider/error`
event shape is unchanged, only the value of `errorInfo` on this one
path. No CLI or doc surface changes.

Relation to #1563: that PR (same design, by @ymichael and @brsbl)
targets `plugins/provider-codex/src/event-translation.ts`, which #1834
deleted when it moved Codex onto the narrow-grammar delta translator. It
no longer merges (`git merge-tree` reports a content conflict in
`delta-translation.ts`). This PR ports that design onto
`delta-translation.ts`, with a flat `Map` keyed by thread+turn instead
of nested maps.

## How you verified

Tests added in `plugins/provider-codex/src/translator.test.ts` (`codex
terminal retry-error classification`):

- carries the retry classification into the degraded terminal error (and
the context is consumed, so a repeat stays `other`)
- does not relabel an unrelated terminal error after a reconnect
- scopes the retry context to the turn and drops it on `turn/completed`
- drops the retry context when the codex thread closes

Fail-before: with `delta-translation.ts` and `translator.ts` restored
from `origin/main`, `pnpm exec turbo run test
--filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex --force -- --run
src/translator.test.ts` fails the first test:

```
× carries the retry classification into the degraded terminal error
AssertionError: expected [ { type: 'provider/error', …(7) } ] to deep equally contain ObjectContaining{…}
  expected "category": "stream-disconnected", "providerCode": "responseStreamDisconnected"
  received "category": "unknown", "providerCode": "other"
```

The three negative tests pass on `origin/main` as expected (they pin
that the guard does not over-apply).

Pass-after, from the committed tree (`git status --porcelain` empty):

- `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck test --filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex`
→ `Tasks: 7 successful, 7 total` (16 test files, 176 tests passed)
- `pnpm exec turbo run build` → `Tasks: 18 successful, 18 total`

Manual replay of the incident's two events (reconnect with
`responseStreamDisconnected`, then terminal `other` with the same
`stream disconnected before completion: ...` text) through
`createCodexEventTranslator` via `node --conditions=source --import
tsx`: the terminal delta now carries `errorInfo: { category:
"stream-disconnected", providerCode: "responseStreamDisconnected",
httpStatusCode: null }`.


## Rebase

Rebased onto `origin/main` after the grammar-v3 bridge stack landed
(#2124, #2136, #2153, #2148, #2164). That stack rewrote
`delta-translation.ts` (presentation on every item,
`injectedToolsByName` on the translation state, delegation items) and
`translator.ts` (`clearClosedThreadState` now returns the closes for
open delegations), but it did not touch the `error` case,
`toProviderErrorInfo`, or `turn/completed`, so the fix maps onto the new
code unchanged:

- The only textual conflict was in `CodexEventTranslationState` /
`createCodexEventTranslationState`, where main added
`injectedToolsByName` next to where this PR adds `retryErrorsByTurnKey`.
Resolved by keeping both fields.
- `clearCodexEventTranslationThreadState` is still called from
`clearClosedThreadState` in `translator.ts`, before it returns the
delegation closes that main added.
- The tests merged cleanly into `translator.test.ts`; they run through
the grammar-v3 `createDeltaAssembler` harness on main, and the
`provider/error` event shape they assert is unchanged.

Re-verified on the new base (`798b720ef`, one commit on top of
`origin/main`):

- Fail-before: with `delta-translation.ts` and `translator.ts` restored
from `origin/main`, `pnpm exec turbo run test
--filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex --force -- --run
src/translator.test.ts -t "codex terminal retry-error classification"` →
`1 failed | 3 passed`; `carries the retry classification into the
degraded terminal error` fails with expected `"category":
"stream-disconnected", "providerCode": "responseStreamDisconnected"`,
received `"category": "unknown", "providerCode": "other"`. The bug is
still present on current main.
- Pass-after, from the committed tree (`git status --porcelain` empty):
`pnpm exec turbo run typecheck test --filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex
--force` → `Tasks: 7 successful, 7 total`, `Test Files 18 passed (18)`,
`Tests 197 passed (197)`. `pnpm exec turbo run build` → `Tasks: 18
successful, 18 total`.

## Independent verification

Verified on a fresh checkout of `bb/fix-1840-codex-stream-disconnect`
(282f32e, one commit on top of `origin/main`; `git merge-base
--is-ancestor origin/main HEAD` true, GitHub reports MERGEABLE).

Root cause checked against current upstream sources (not from the PR
description): `codex-rs/core/src/session/mod.rs` `notify_stream_error`
hard-codes `CodexErrorInfo::ResponseStreamDisconnected` for every retry
notification, `codex-rs/core/src/responses_retry.rs` returns the raw
`CodexErr` once retries are exhausted, and
`codex-rs/protocol/src/error.rs` `to_codex_protocol_error` has no arm
for `CodexErrorDetails::Stream` so it hits `_ => CodexErrorInfo::Other`.
The app-server maps `EventMsg::StreamError` to `error` with `willRetry:
true` plus `additionalDetails`, and `EventMsg::Error` to `willRetry:
false` with `additional_details: None`. The PR's correlation (retry
`additionalDetails` vs terminal `message`, same thread+turn, `other`
only) matches that wire shape exactly.

plugins/provider-codex/src/delta-translation.ts
plugins/provider-codex/src/translator.ts`, then `pnpm exec turbo run
test --filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex --force -- --run
src/translator.test.ts -t "codex terminal retry-error classification"`:
1 failed, 3 passed. Failing assertion: `carries the retry classification
into the degraded terminal error` -> `AssertionError: expected [ { type:
'provider/error', ...(7) } ] to deep equally contain
ObjectContaining{...}`, expected `"category": "stream-disconnected",
"providerCode": "responseStreamDisconnected", "httpStatusCode": 502`,
received `"category": "unknown", "providerCode": "other",
"httpStatusCode": null`.
- Pass-after: restored the PR sources (`git status --porcelain` empty),
`pnpm exec turbo run typecheck test --filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex
--force` -> `Tasks: 7 successful, 7 total`, `Test Files 16 passed (16)`,
`Tests 176 passed (176)`.
- Only `packages/thread-view/src/error-display.ts` consumes the
`stream-disconnected` category (title text); no runtime recovery keys on
it, so the blast radius is the timeline row title.

Repro on the fixed branch: a real Codex stream outage cannot be
triggered deterministically here, so I replayed upstream-shaped events
through `createCodexEventTranslator` directly (`node --conditions=source
--import tsx`): four `Reconnecting... n/5` retries labelled
`responseStreamDisconnected` with the failure text in
`additionalDetails`, then a terminal `other` with that text as `message`
and `additionalDetails: null`. Fixed branch:
`{"category":"stream-disconnected","providerCode":"responseStreamDisconnected","httpStatusCode":null}`.
Same script with `origin/main` sources:
`{"category":"unknown","providerCode":"other"}`. Extra negative replays
on the fixed branch all stayed correct: unrelated terminal text after a
retry stays `unknown`; a structured terminal value
(`responseTooManyFailedAttempts`, 503) is never overridden by the
remembered retry; a thread-scoped retry (no `turnId`) does not relabel a
turn-scoped terminal; a retry on a different codex thread does not leak
across threads.

CI: all checks pass (Checks, Package Smoke ubuntu+macos, Tests
app-1/2/3, integration, server, packages, version check).

Residual risks (minor, not blocking): the correlation needs the terminal
`message` to equal the last notified retry's `additionalDetails`; the
terminal `CodexErr` is the attempt after the last notified retry, so if
the inner reqwest text differs between attempts the row falls back to
today's generic label (never to a wrong one). Retry context for a turn
whose child dies without `thread/closed` or `turn/completed` lives in
the per-session translator until the session is released (a few bytes).
The upstream mapping gap in codex-rs remains.

## Independent verification (post-rebase)

Re-verified after the rebase onto the grammar-v3 bridge. Checked out
`798b720ef` (one commit on top of `cf00cfe06`); `origin/main` had since
gained #2120 (provider-literal ratchet), which merges cleanly and
excludes `plugins/provider-*`, so it cannot affect this PR (`node
scripts/check-provider-literal-ratchet.mjs --base origin/main` ->
`ratchet OK: 148 references across 40 core files`).

Fix still targets the right code path in the rewritten translator: the
v3 stack left the `error` case, `toProviderErrorInfo`, and
`turn/completed` unchanged; `clearCodexEventTranslationThreadState` runs
inside `clearClosedThreadState` before the delegation closes it now
returns; `translateEvent` still routes `error` events through
`translateCodexEventToDeltas(event, eventTranslationState)` with the
single per-session state. Nothing downstream reclassifies:
`@bb/agent-runtime` `shouldRestartCodexThreadAfterEvent` keys only on
`rate-limit`/`unauthorized` categories (a retry-time label is always
`stream-disconnected`, so restart policy is unchanged) and
`packages/thread-view/src/error-display.ts` is the only consumer of the
category.

Commands (all from the committed tree):

- Fail-before on current main source: `git checkout origin/main --
plugins/provider-codex/src/delta-translation.ts
plugins/provider-codex/src/translator.ts`, then `pnpm exec vitest run
src/translator.test.ts -t "codex terminal retry-error classification"`
in `plugins/provider-codex` -> `1 failed | 3 passed`; `carries the retry
classification into the degraded terminal error` fails with expected
`"category": "stream-disconnected", "providerCode":
"responseStreamDisconnected", "httpStatusCode": 502`, received
`"category": "unknown", "providerCode": "other", "httpStatusCode": null`
(`src/translator.test.ts:1272`).
- Pass-after (sources restored, `git status --porcelain` empty): same
vitest command -> `4 passed`. `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck test
--filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex --force` -> `Tasks: 7 successful, 7
total`, `Test Files 18 passed (18)`, `Tests 197 passed (197)`.
- Dependents: `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck test
--filter=@bb/provider-parity --filter=@bb/agent-runtime
--filter=@bb/provider-bridge-protocol --force` -> `Tasks: 10 successful,
10 total` (parity 43 passed, agent-runtime 439 passed, bridge-protocol
217 passed). The parity suite replays every committed recording,
including `recordings/codex/auth-failure`, through the current bridge
with zero diffs.
- `pnpm exec prettier --check` and `pnpm exec eslint` on the three
touched files: clean.

Repro on the fixed branch: replayed the issue's event sequence (four
`Reconnecting... n/5` retries labelled `responseStreamDisconnected` with
the failure text in `additionalDetails`, then terminal `other` with that
text as `message`) through `createCodexEventTranslator` via `node
--conditions=source --import tsx`: terminal delta is
`{"category":"stream-disconnected","providerCode":"responseStreamDisconnected","httpStatusCode":null}`.
A terminal-only event with no preceding retry stays `unknown`/`other`
(by design). Cross-checked against upstream
`codex-rs/protocol/src/error.rs` (`Stream(..)` still falls to `_ =>
CodexErrorInfo::Other`; terminal `message` is `self.to_string()`, the
same text `notify_stream_error` puts in `additional_details`).

CI: all 11 check-runs on `798b720ef` succeed (Checks, Package Smoke
ubuntu+macos, Tests app-1/2/3, integration, server, packages, version
check x2); 2 skipped (node-compat smoke, iOS flows).

Residual risk (minor, not blocking): the real recorded `auth-failure`
cell shows Codex's failure text can carry per-request `cf-ray`/`request
id` values that differ between the last retry and the terminal attempt;
there the exact-text guard does not fire and the terminal row stays the
generic label exactly as on main (for that 401 case a
`stream-disconnected` label would arguably be wrong anyway, and the
runtime's 401 restart text pattern still matches). Retry context for
errors without a `turnId` is only dropped on `thread/closed`.

## What was wrong

`bb plugin reload` reported success for a reload that left the plugin
unusable. `PluginService.reload()` returned `void`, `POST
/api/v1/plugins/reload` answered `{ ok: true }` unconditionally, and the
CLI exited 1 only on `ok: false` or an unknown id. So when a background
service ignored its abort signal, the runtime correctly refused to
double-start it, marked the plugin `degraded`, closed the old instance's
database handles, and unloaded it (its `bb` command gone, the orphaned
service ticking `The database connection is not open` every second), and
the reload still returned exit 0 / `ok: true`. The same held when the
new sources failed to load and the runtime kept the previous instance
(`running` with `reload failed: …`). Issue: #2029 (defect 2). Report:
https://get-bb.github.io/reports/issues/2029.html

Defect 1 in the issue (the host rebuilding `dist/app.*` into a
path-installed plugin root) is the documented path-install cache policy
(`isMutableAppBundleStale`, covered by existing tests) and is tracked by
#1863; this PR does not change it.

## What changed

- `apps/server/src/services/plugins/plugin-runtime.ts`: `loadOne(row)`
resolves the load problem (`string | null`) instead of `void`. Null
means the row's current sources are running now, or the plugin stays
disabled by the user's switch. Every failure exit returns its reason; a
reload that kept the previous instance says so (`… (the previous
instance is still running)`); the two hung-service exits share
`hungServicesDetail`. Statuses and log lines are unchanged.
- `apps/server/src/services/plugins/plugin-service.ts`: `reload(id?)`
returns `PluginReloadOutcome`: `{ ok: true, plugins }` or `{ ok: false,
error, plugins }` where `error` lists each targeted plugin that did not
come up and `plugins` is the inventory after the reload. The builtin
source-watcher's `reloadPlugin` throws the same problem so the dev loop
logs `reload failed: …` instead of `reloaded`.
- `apps/server/src/routes/plugins.ts`: the route answers `422 { ok:
false, error, plugins }` on failure; success body is unchanged
(`pluginReloadResponseSchema` still matches). SDK callers (web
`PluginHealthBanner`, mobile `useReloadPlugins`) already surface a
thrown `BbHttpError` with the server's message. No host daemon wire
change, so no `HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` bump.
- `apps/cli/src/commands/plugin.ts`: `bb plugin reload` prints the
targeted entries (status and detail) before the error and exit 1;
`--json` already exited 1 on `ok: false`. `bb plugin dev` already throws
on `!ok` and its loop logs it.
- Guide (`packages/templates/src/templates/bb-guide-plugins.md`) and
bb-cli skill
(`apps/server/src/services/skills/builtin-skills/bb-cli/SKILL.md`):
document the exit code.
- `plugin-registration.ts`, `plugin-activation.ts`: `loadOne` dep type
follows.

## How you verified

Tests that fail on `origin/main` and pass here:

- `apps/server/test/services/plugins/plugin-background.test.ts`
- `marks the plugin degraded when a service ignores its abort` now
asserts the outcome. Before: `AssertionError: expected undefined to
deeply equal { ok: false, …(2) }`.
- `reports a failed reload that kept the previous instance` (new):
broken edit → `running` + `reload failed: boom on load`, outcome `ok:
false` with `plugin "keeper" reload failed: boom on load (the previous
instance is still running)`; reload-all reports it; a fixed edit reloads
`ok: true`.
- `apps/server/test/services/plugins/plugin-reload-route.test.ts` (new,
real app harness): success → 200 `{ ok: true, plugins }`; broken sources
→ 422 `{ ok: false, error, plugins: [{ status: "running", statusDetail:
"reload failed: boom on load" }] }`. Before: `AssertionError: expected
200 to be 422`.

Commands (from the committed tree):

- `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck --filter=@bb/server --filter=@bb/cli
--filter=@bb/templates` → `Tasks: 6 successful, 6 total`
- `pnpm exec turbo run test --filter=@bb/cli --filter=@bb/templates` →
`Tasks: 8 successful, 8 total` (453 + 41 tests)
- `pnpm exec turbo run test --filter=@bb/server` → 1825 passed, 1
failed: `test/internal/internal-skill-trees.test.ts` (`mode: 420` vs
`436`), the known local umask-0002 failure unrelated to this change; it
passes in CI.

Manual repro on my own dev instance with the report's fixture (a path
plugin whose `lane-watcher` service captures `bb.storage.database()` and
ignores abort):

```
$ bb plugin reload collab-fixture
collab-fixture@0.1.0  degraded  (service lane-watcher did not stop)
  source: path:/home/sawyer/.bb-dev/scratch/2029/bb-plugin-collab
plugin "collab-fixture" reload failed: service lane-watcher did not stop
exit=1
$ bb plugin reload --json collab-fixture   # "ok": false, same error, exit=1
$ curl -X POST $BB_SERVER_URL/api/v1/plugins/reload?id=collab-fixture   # HTTP 422
```

Before this change the same reload printed the degraded entry and exited
0 with `"ok": true` (report step 3).

Fixes #2029

## Independent verification

Checked out `bb/fix-2029-plugin-reload-orphans` (8d19397, one commit
on top of origin/main f6fb434; origin/main has not moved since) in a
separate worktree and dev instance.

Commands:

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline && pnpm exec turbo
run build` (18/18 tasks).
- Fail-before: `git checkout origin/main --
apps/cli/src/commands/plugin.ts apps/server/src/routes/plugins.ts

then `pnpm exec vitest run

passed / 1 failed (`test/internal/internal-skill-trees.test.ts` mode 420
vs 436, the known local umask-0002 failure; unrelated, green in CI).
- CI on the PR: all checks pass (Checks, Package Smoke x2, Tests
app-1/2/3, integration, packages, server).

Repro on the fixed branch (own dev instance, report fixture: path plugin
whose `lane-watcher` service captures `bb.storage.database()` and
ignores abort):

```
$ bb plugin install <fixture> --yes      -> collab-fixture@0.1.0 running; bb collab -> "collab ok", exit=0
$ bb plugin reload collab-fixture
collab-fixture@0.1.0  degraded  (service lane-watcher did not stop)
  source: path:.../bb-plugin-collab
plugin "collab-fixture" reload failed: service lane-watcher did not stop
exit=1
$ bb plugin reload --json collab-fixture -> {"ok":false,"error":"plugin \"collab-fixture\" reload failed: service lane-watcher did not stop"}, exit=1
$ curl -X POST $BB_SERVER_URL/api/v1/plugins/reload?id=collab-fixture -> http=422
$ bb plugin reload                        -> exit=1, prints the degraded entry then the error
$ bb plugin reload automations            -> running, exit=0; raw POST -> http=200
```

On main the same reload exits 0 with `ok: true` (report step 3). The
orphaned service still logs `The database connection is not open` every
tick, which is the documented degraded contract and out of scope here.

Review notes: root cause (reload outcome never propagated) is fixed in
the server, which owns the policy; no host-daemon wire change, so no
protocol bump needed. CLI `callPlugins` already passes 422 bodies
through, the dev loop catches the thrown reload, and the SDK surfaces
the 422 as `BbHttpError` with the server message (web banner toasts,
mobile mutation toasts). Guide and bb-cli skill document the exit code.
Minor, non-blocking: `pluginReloadResponseSchema` in server-contract
still types only the success body, so SDK callers see the failure via
`BbHttpError.body` untyped; web `PluginHealthBanner` does not invalidate
the plugin list on error and relies on the `plugins-changed` broadcast
for the refreshed status. Defect 1 (rebuild into a path plugin root) is
intentionally left to #1863.

## Rebase

Rebased onto origin/main `85eec4da6` (was 33 commits behind; still one
commit, now `c7cd438b3`). `git rebase origin/main` applied with no
conflicts. Main's changes in the touched files are orthogonal to this
fix: `plugin-runtime.ts` gained provider `installRank` and per-command
settings reads (#2148), `plugin-service.ts` gained agent-tool
presentation for grammar v3 (#2164), and the guide/skill docs gained
unrelated lines. None of that touches `loadOne`'s exits or `reload`, so
the `string | null` load problem and the `PluginReloadOutcome` plumbing
map onto the new code unchanged.

Re-proved on the new base. With the six non-test source files reverted
to origin/main, `plugin-background.test.ts` +
`plugin-reload-route.test.ts`: 3 failed / 15 passed (`expected undefined
to deeply equal { ok: false, …(2) }`, `Cannot read properties of
undefined (reading 'ok')`, `expected 200 to be 422`); restored: 18/18
passed. From the committed tree: `turbo typecheck --filter=@bb/server
--filter=@bb/cli --filter=@bb/templates --filter=@bb/host-daemon
--filter=@bb/sdk` → `Tasks: 8 successful, 8 total`; `turbo test
--filter=@bb/cli --filter=@bb/templates` → `Tasks: 8 successful, 8
total` (453 + 41 tests); `turbo test --filter=@bb/server` → 1898 passed,
2 failed: the known local umask `internal-skill-trees` failure and a 5s
timeout in `plugin-update.test.ts` (`waits one full interval…`) on a box
at load average 128 with swap full; that file passes 27/27 when run
alone.

## Independent verification (post-rebase)

Re-verified the rebased head `c7cd438b3` (one commit; merge base with
origin/main is `75d6fc4d4`, and the only newer main commit, `85eec4da6`,
is a TestFlight CI change) in a fresh worktree and own dev instance.
`git merge --no-commit origin/main` is clean. Main's intervening changes
to `plugin-runtime.ts` (#2148 provider `installRank`, per-command
settings reads) and `plugin-service.ts` (#2164 grammar-v3 agent-tool
presentation) do not add any exit to `loadOne`; every exit in the
rebased `loadOne` returns its problem (`string | null`) and the final
path returns `null`. No provider-bridge-protocol, provider plugin, or
agent-runtime file is touched, so no parity run was needed and no
`HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` bump is required.

Commands:

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline && pnpm exec turbo
run build` (18/18 tasks).
- Fail-before: `git checkout origin/main --
apps/cli/src/commands/plugin.ts apps/server/src/routes/plugins.ts
apps/server/src/services/plugins/{plugin-activation,plugin-registration,plugin-runtime,plugin-service}.ts`,
then `pnpm exec vitest run
test/services/plugins/plugin-background.test.ts
test/services/plugins/plugin-reload-route.test.ts` from `apps/server`: 3

- `marks the plugin degraded when a service ignores its abort`:
`AssertionError: expected undefined to deeply equal { ok: false, …(2) }`
- `reports a failed reload that kept the previous instance`: `TypeError:
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'ok')`
- `answers ok:false with the load problem when the new sources did not
load (#2029)`: `AssertionError: expected 200 to be 422`
- Pass-after: `git checkout HEAD -- <same files>`, same run: 18/18
passed.
- From the committed tree (`git status --porcelain` empty): `pnpm exec
turbo run typecheck --filter=@bb/server --filter=@bb/cli
--filter=@bb/templates --filter=@bb/sdk --filter=@bb/host-daemon` →
`Tasks: 8 successful, 8 total`.
- `pnpm exec turbo run test --filter=@bb/server --filter=@bb/cli
--filter=@bb/templates`: cli 453/453, templates 41/41, server 1899
passed / 1 failed (`test/internal/internal-skill-trees.test.ts` mode 420
vs 436, the known local umask-0002 failure; unrelated, green in CI).
- CI on `c7cd438b3`: all checks pass (Checks, Package Smoke ubuntu +
macos, Tests app-1/2/3, integration, packages, server, version check);
iOS simulator and Node compat smoke are conditional skips.

Repro on the rebased branch (own dev instance, report fixture: path
plugin whose `lane-watcher` captures `bb.storage.database()` and ignores
abort):

```
$ bb plugin install <fixture> --yes   -> collab-fixture@0.1.0 running; bb collab -> "collab ok", exit=0
$ bb plugin reload collab-fixture
plugin "collab-fixture" reload failed: service lane-watcher did not stop
exit=1
$ bb plugin reload --json collab-fixture -> {"ok":false,"error":"plugin \"collab-fixture\" reload failed: service lane-watcher did not stop", ...}, exit=1
$ curl -X POST $BB_SERVER_URL/api/v1/plugins/reload?id=collab-fixture -> http=422, same body
$ bb collab                            -> error: unknown command 'collab' (degraded, as designed)
$ bb plugin reload                     -> exit=1 (reports the degraded plugin)
$ bb plugin reload automations         -> running, exit=0; raw POST -> http=200
```

On main the same reload exits 0 with `ok: true` (report step 3).
Residual, unchanged from the first verification: the orphaned service
still logs `The database connection is not open` every tick (documented
degraded contract); `pluginReloadResponseSchema` types only the success
body, so SDK callers see the 422 as a `BbHttpError` with the server
message; defect 1 (rebuild into a path plugin root) is left to #1863.

## What was wrong

Every thread lifecycle transition broadcast `status-changed` as a bare
dirty flag (metadata carried at most `projectId`). The app's registry
rule for it (`dirtyActiveThreadListQueries`, flush `immediate`)
invalidated the single `sidebarNavigation` query plus every cached
thread list for the project. The sidebar query is always active
(`AppLayout` observes it with `staleTime: Infinity`), so each push
re-downloaded the whole `GET /api/v1/sidebar-bootstrap` document: about
1 KB per unarchived thread, 134 KB on the seeded database, twice per
turn (turn start, turn end), for every thread that runs a turn. Nothing
in the push let the client patch the one row that changed. Issue: #1302.
Report: https://get-bb.github.io/reports/issues/1302.html

## What changed

Server-to-app realtime contract (no daemon change; the host daemon does
not consume thread change notifications, so
`HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` is unchanged):

- `packages/domain/src/change-kinds.ts`: `threadChangeMetadataSchema`
gains optional `statusChange: { status, runtime, activity,
latestAttentionAt, updatedAt }` (the list-row fields a lifecycle
transition rewrites). The lenient inbound twin parses it with
`.catch(undefined)` so a client that does not know a future status or
runtime value drops just that field and falls back to a refetch.
`threadRuntimeStateSchema` and `threadActivityStateSchema` are now
exported from `thread.ts`.
- `apps/server/src/services/threads/thread-runtime-display.ts`:
`buildThreadStatusChangeMetadata(deps, thread)` builds the metadata in
one place. Runtime is resolved from host connectivity the same way list
rows do. Activity (background task counts plus the plan-mode and goal
counts) is built by the new `buildThreadActivityStateByThreadId`, which
`toThreadListEntryResponses` now also uses, so a pushed row and a
fetched row cannot disagree. The builder therefore takes the
prompt-banner deps (`db`, `hub`, `providerRegistry`); every caller
already had them through `AppDeps`/`WorkSessionDeps`
(`failThreadProvisioning` and `applyTurnCompletedEvent` widen their
`Pick`).
- `packages/db/src/data/threads.ts`: `applyThreadLifecycleEvent(db,
args)` no longer takes a notifier or notifies. The db package cannot
resolve the runtime (host connectivity lives in the hub), so the server
wrapper `applyLoggedThreadLifecycleEvent` (`lifecycle-outcome.ts`) now
owns the `status-changed` push and attaches the metadata. This covers
turn start (`run.started` from the daemon's `turn/started`), turn end
(`turn/completed`), provisioning, reconciliation and failure paths.
- `thread-send.ts`, `queued-messages.ts`, `parent-system-messages.ts`:
the three post-commit producers that activate a thread now carry the
activated row out of the transaction (`activeThread: Thread | null`
replaces `threadBecameActive: boolean`) and attach the metadata.
`queued-messages.ts` also drops a redundant `status-changed` notify that
fired inside the transaction, before commit; the post-commit notify on
the next line already sent the same kind.
- `packages/domain/src/plugin-sdk-version.ts` +
`packages/plugin-sdk/package.json`: no longer changed by this PR. The
new `statusChange` field does change the SDK's bundled types and
`dist/provider-bridge.js`, so the npm version guard
(`check-npm-version-guard.mjs`) needs an unpublished version. `main` has
since moved the SDK to `0.4.13`, which npm has not published (npm latest
is `0.4.12`), so this PR adopts `main`'s version and the guard passes
without a further bump.
- In-transaction writers whose hub is a `NotificationBuffer` (stop
requested, command failure, thread-start success, finalize, host-wide
interruption, environment cleanup, host reconnect fan-out) still send
the bare kind. The client falls back to today's refetch for those; they
are not on the per-turn hot path.
- `apps/app`: `realtime-cache-effects.ts` merges `statusChange` into the
dirty context. A `status-changed` message is last-writer-wins for it: a
later message that carries no row snapshot replaces (drops) an earlier
one merged while the document was hidden, so the resume flush refetches
instead of patching the row to the earlier, now-stale status.
`realtime-cache-registry.ts` replaces `dirtyActiveThreadListQueries` in
the `status-changed` rule with `patchThreadListStatusState`: with
metadata it writes the five fields into every cached thread list row and
the sidebar bootstrap (`updateCachedThreadListStatusState` in
`query-cache.ts`, same shape as the existing pending-interaction patch),
invalidates only list/sidebar queries that have a fetch in flight (that
fetch read the database before the transition and would overwrite the
patch when it lands), and still dirties the search prefix. Without
metadata it behaves exactly as before. Thread detail invalidation is
unchanged (about 600 B when the thread is open).

Revision after review (two findings, both fixed here):

1. The first draft's patch left `ThreadListEntry.activity` stale. The
plan-mode and goal counts are server-computed, gated on `status ===
"active"`, and were only synced by the list refetch the patch removed,
so a finished plan turn kept its sidebar indicator lit. The push now
carries the post-transition activity and the app patches it with the
rest of the row.
2. The hidden-document merge kept an earlier `statusChange` when a later
bare `status-changed` arrived (stop, command failure, interruption), so
on resume the row was patched to `active` and never refetched.
`statusChange` is now last-writer-wins per `status-changed` message.

Deviation from the report's proposal: the report suggested `status` +
`runtime` only. `latestAttentionAt` and `updatedAt` are included because
the lifecycle writer rewrites them and the sidebar sorts inactive rows
by `latestAttentionAt`; `activity` for the reason above. The report's
parts 2 (trim the bootstrap wire shape) and 3 (per-project sidebar keys)
are not in this PR; with no refetch per turn, the payload size only
matters on initial load and on membership changes.

Known, pre-existing: the sidebar learns that a plan turn is active only
from a list row fetched after the provider's `turn/input/accepted`
lands. The turn-start push (and on `main`, the turn-start refetch) is
built at send time, before that event exists, and `events-appended` does
not refetch lists, so the plan-mode glyph at turn start was already a
race on `main`. This PR keeps that behavior and fixes the indicator
turning off at turn end. Pushing an activity patch on the accepted/goal
events is a separate follow-up.

## How you verified

Tests added:

- `apps/app/src/hooks/realtime-cache-effects.test.ts`: "patches cached
thread list status from notification metadata instead of refetching the
sidebar bootstrap". Fails on `origin/main` app sources with
`AssertionError: expected "vi.fn()" to be called 1 times, but got 2
times` (the sidebar query fn was refetched); passes after. The pushed
`statusChange` in this test carries `activity.activePlanModeCount: 1`
and the row assertion covers it. Also: "refetches thread lists for a
status change that carries no row metadata" (guards the fallback),
"restarts a sidebar fetch already in flight so its stale snapshot cannot
overwrite the patched status", and (hidden document) "refetches when a
bare status-changed follows one that carried the row". The last fails on
the first draft's merge with `AssertionError: expected { activity: {
…(5) }, …(5) } to be { activity: { …(5) }, …(5) } // Object.is equality`
(the idle row had been replaced by the patched active row); passes
after.
- `apps/server/test/services/threads/lifecycle-outcome.test.ts` (new):
`applyLoggedThreadLifecycleEvent` broadcasts `status-changed` with
`projectId` and the full `statusChange` (runtime `active` with a
registered daemon, `waiting-for-host` without), nothing when the event
is not applied, and "carries the status-gated plan and goal activity of
the post-transition row": with an open accepted `/plan` turn and an
active goal on record, `run.started` pushes `activePlanModeCount: 1,
activeGoalCount: 1` and `run.succeeded` pushes `status: idle` with
`activePlanModeCount: 0, activeGoalCount: 1`. On the first draft's
server builder the broadcast is rejected by the strict schema
(`ZodError: Invalid input: expected object, received undefined` for
`activity`); on `main` the first assertion fails because the db notify
carried only `projectId`.
- `packages/domain/test/change-kinds.test.ts`: maximal fixture extended
(the parity guard requires it) plus "drops a status change a stale
client cannot parse but keeps the message".
- `packages/db/test/data/thread-lifecycle.test.ts`: the notify assertion
moved to the server test; call sites updated for the new signature (also
`tests/integration/fake/recovery/idle-error-reconciliation.test.ts`,
which polls the API and does not depend on the push; ran it, passes).

Commands (on the committed tree, rebased on current `origin/main`, `git
status --porcelain` empty):

- `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck` (whole repo): `Tasks: 72 successful,
72 total`.
- `pnpm exec turbo run test --filter=@bb/domain --filter=@bb/db
--filter=@bb/server --filter=@bb/app --continue`: `Tasks: 9 successful,
10 total`. domain 136 passed; db 405 passed; app 3160 passed (3
skipped); server 1825 passed, 2 failed:
`test/internal/internal-skill-trees.test.ts` (`mode: 420` vs `436`, a
local umask 0002 artifact unrelated to this change, passes with `umask
022`) and `test/services/plugins/plugin-update.test.ts` "waits one full
interval" (`Test timed out in 5000ms` under the full parallel run;
passes alone, 27/27).

Manual check on my dev instance (scratch project, one codex thread, a
dedicated headless Chromium profile with a `window.fetch` logger
installed after load, then `POST /api/v1/threads/:id/send` with a `/plan
Reply only with ok.` command mention from the driving script, sampling
the sidebar row's indicator labels every 100 ms):

- Before (report, same experiment with plain `tell`): 19 requests, 2 ×
`GET /api/v1/sidebar-bootstrap` at 134,865 B and 134,861 B (96% of
bytes), plus child/fork list refetches at turn start and end.
- After: 10 requests, **0** `sidebar-bootstrap` calls, no thread list
refetches; the turn traffic is the thread detail (588/584 B), timeline
deltas, outline, prompt history, PR state and read receipt. The sidebar
row showed `Thread working` 123 ms after the send and cleared it at turn
end (2.3 s), from the pushed patch alone. At 1.5 s `GET
/threads?projectId=` reported `status: active, activePlanModeCount: 1`;
after the turn the row carried no stale plan indicator. Log saved at
`/tmp/bb-fix-batch/issues/1302/revise-plan-turn-api-log.json`.

Fixes #1302

Commands:

- `git fetch origin main && git fetch origin

then `pnpm exec vitest run src/hooks/realtime-cache-effects.test.ts`
(apps/app): 1 failed / 56 passed, `AssertionError: expected "vi.fn()" to

`test/internal/internal-skill-trees.test.ts` (`mode: 420` vs `436`, the
known local umask 0002 artifact; passes in CI).
- CI on the PR: all checks pass (Checks, Package Smoke x2, Tests
app-1/2/3, integration, packages, server).

Repro on the fixed branch (own dev instance :18681/:26681/:34681,
scratch project, one codex thread, headless Chromium with a
`window.fetch` logger installed after load, `pnpm bb:dev thread tell
<id> "Reply only with ok."` from the shell, 100 ms DOM poll of the
sidebar row): three sends, each 9-10 API requests and **0** `GET
/api/v1/sidebar-bootstrap` (report on main: 19 requests, 2 bootstrap
downloads = 96% of bytes). The sidebar row showed `Thread working` about
100 ms after the send, `Unread thread succeeded` at turn end and cleared
after the read receipt, all from the pushed patch. No longer reproduces.

Review notes: server-to-app contract only; the host daemon does not
consume thread `changed` messages, so no `HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION`
bump is needed; every inbound consumer (app, mobile, desktop, sdk) uses
the lenient schema; thread lists are ordered by pin/createdAt and not
filtered on status, so patching cannot change membership; all
`applyThreadLifecycleEvent` callers updated. Residual (documented in the
body): in-transaction producers (stop, command failure, thread-start
success, interruption, env cleanup, host reconnect) still push the bare
kind and refetch the whole bootstrap; the plan-mode glyph at turn start
stays a pre-existing race; the 138 KB payload shape and single sidebar
key (report parts 2 and 3) are untouched, so a reviewer may prefer to
keep #1302 open for the payload trim. Nit: `thread-runtime-display.ts`
L268-270 is not prettier-formatted (CI does not enforce it).

## Rebase

Rebased onto `origin/main` `75d6fc4d4` (was 32 commits behind at
`c942421a4`) and squashed the two commits into one (`766f1928f`); the
commit message keeps the original subject and body and folds in the
revision-round notes (activity on the push, last-writer-wins merge).
`git rebase` applied cleanly with no conflicts: none of the 32 commits
on main touched the 23 files in this diff. The commits on main in the
neighbouring areas (`apps/server/src/services/threads`,
`packages/domain/src`, `apps/app/src/hooks`) are the provider v3
contract stack (#2124, #2136, #2148, #2164, #2179), the late tool-call
completion fix (#2176) and the acp fork capability change (#2150); they
do not touch the lifecycle writer, the thread change-kind schema, or the
realtime cache registry, so the fix maps onto the new base unchanged.
`origin/main` still has no `statusChange` in `change-kinds.ts` or
`realtime-cache-registry.ts`.

Re-proved on the new base (committed tree, `git status --porcelain`
empty):

- Fail-before: with the 13 non-test source files checked out from
`origin/main`, `apps/app` `realtime-cache-effects.test.ts`: 1 failed /
56 passed, `AssertionError: expected "vi.fn()" to be called 1 times, but
got 2 times`; `apps/server` `lifecycle-outcome.test.ts`: 3 failed / 1
passed (`expected undefined to be 'waiting-for-host'`, `expected
undefined to deeply equal { Object (activeBackgroundAgentCount, ...)
}`). Pass-after: 57/57 and 4/4.
- `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck --filter=@bb/domain --filter=@bb/db
--filter=@bb/server --filter=@bb/app --filter=@bb/integration-tests
--filter=@bb/mobile --filter=@bb/sdk --filter=@bb/desktop
--filter=@bb/host-daemon --filter=@bb/cli`: `Tasks: 14 successful, 14
total`.
- `pnpm exec turbo run test --filter=@bb/domain --filter=@bb/db
--filter=@bb/server --filter=@bb/app --continue`: domain 27/27 files, db
28/28 files; server 1899 passed / 2 failed; app 3190 passed / 3 failed
(3 skipped). The machine was under a load average of 40-70 from parallel
agents: every app failure and the `plugin-update.test.ts` server failure
were `Test timed out` in files unrelated to this change (different files
on each of two runs), and each passes when rerun alone (135/135, 27/27).
The one remaining server failure is
`test/internal/internal-skill-trees.test.ts` (`mode: 420` vs `436`), the
known local umask 0002 artifact that passes in CI.

## Independent verification (guards)

Verified head `17746125f` (rebased onto `origin/main` `27d1017fe`; `git
merge-base --is-ancestor origin/main HEAD` true; GitHub reports
`MERGEABLE` / `CLEAN`) in a fresh worktree. Scope: confirm the
post-verification change is only the CI-guard fix, re-prove
fail-before/pass-after on the new head, confirm CI.

- Interdiff: `git diff 75d6fc4 766f192` (previously verified patch)
vs `git diff origin/main 1774612` differ by exactly two hunks:
`packages/domain/src/plugin-sdk-version.ts` `PLUGIN_SDK_VERSION =
"0.4.11"` → `"0.4.12"` and `packages/plugin-sdk/package.json`
`"version": "0.4.11"` → `"0.4.12"`. No other line of the PR changed.
`origin/main` and `npm view @get-bb/plugin-sdk version` are both
`0.4.11`; `@get-bb/plugin-sdk@0.4.12` is 404 on npm, so the patch bump
targets the next unpublished version. The commit keeps the original
subject, body, and `Co-Authored-By` trailer.
- CI on `17746125f`: all checks pass (Checks, Package Smoke x2, Tests
app-1/2/3, integration, packages, server, Version Lockstep x2; Node
Compatibility Smoke and iOS simulator flows skipped by design). The
`Check plugin SDK npm version guard` step logs `npm version guard: PASS
— @get-bb/plugin-sdk@0.4.12 is not on npm yet. The publish job will ship
this version.`
- Fail-before on the new head (`git checkout origin/main -- <15 non-test
source files>`): `packages/domain` `change-kinds.test.ts` 2 failed / 6
passed (`ZodError` on the maximal strict `thread` fixture, `expected [
'backgroundActivityChanged', …(4) ] to deeply equal [ …(3) ]`);
`apps/server` `lifecycle-outcome.test.ts` 3 failed / 1 passed (assertion
diff shows the broadcast `metadata` is `{ projectId }` only, `-
"statusChange": { activity, latestAttentionAt, runtime, status,
updatedAt }`); `apps/app` `realtime-cache-effects.test.ts` +
`cache-owner-registry.test.ts` 2 failed / 59 passed (`AssertionError:
expected "vi.fn()" to be called 1 times, but got 2 times` at
`realtime-cache-effects.test.ts:1905`).
- Pass-after (`git checkout HEAD -- …`, `git status --porcelain` empty):
domain 8/8, server 4/4, app 61/61. `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck
--filter=@bb/domain --filter=@get-bb/plugin-sdk`: `Tasks: 5 successful,
5 total`. `pnpm exec turbo run build`: `Tasks: 18 successful, 18 total`.
- Repro on the fixed branch: not re-run this round; the fix code is
byte-identical to the head whose browser repro (0 `GET
/api/v1/sidebar-bootstrap` per send) is recorded above.

Residual risks unchanged from the sections above. This PR no longer
carries an SDK version change; `main`'s unpublished `0.4.13` covers it.


## Rebase (2026-08-21)

Rebased onto `main` at `d41d1abee`. Only
`packages/domain/src/plugin-sdk-version.ts` and
`packages/plugin-sdk/package.json` conflicted, because `main` moved the
SDK from `0.4.12` to `0.4.13`. Both were resolved to `main`'s values, so
the version files have dropped out of this PR's diff entirely (25
changed files -> 23). No other line of the fix changed.

Re-verified on the new base: `node
packages/plugin-sdk/scripts/check-npm-version-guard.mjs` -> `PASS -
@get-bb/plugin-sdk@0.4.13 is not on npm yet`. `pnpm exec turbo run
typecheck --filter=@bb/app --filter=@bb/server --filter=@bb/db
--filter=@bb/domain --filter=@bb/integration-tests`: `Tasks: 9
successful, 9 total`. `pnpm exec turbo run test` for
app/server/db/domain: domain 27/27 files, db 28/28, server pass;
`@bb/app` reported one failure in `PromptBoxInternal.test.tsx >
selection reveal`, which passes on its own re-run and touches no file in
this PR (the app changes are confined to `src/hooks/cache-owners/`).
Treated as load-dependent flake; CI is the arbiter.
