Summary

  • Surface the first bare Cursor context overflow, then allow at most three eligible conversation remints per retained identity-scoped client thread.
  • Carry feat(cursor): surface first overflow before capped conversation remint #4229 with stable ownership across both client thread aliases. Conversation-only requests fail closed instead of replenishing their allowance after every remint. Preserve quota, tool-result, partial-output, compaction and side-effect guards.
  • The cap is in memory with bounded retention; it resets on expiry, eviction or restart and does not infer semantic task progress.

Verification

  • Independent design/source audit; git diff --check passed (text only).
  • Carried original regressions and added cross-request successful-remint sequences for both aliases and conversation-only controls; registered retention tests in both layout maps.
  • Local tests/typecheck/build/install: NOT RUN, explicitly prohibited by the maintainer. Final-head hosted CI is tracked after publication.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Independent dev-based PR; no native stack. #3506 remains open for redacted translation-fidelity evidence. Original PR closure/merge belongs to the coordinator.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Cursor context overflows are surfaced clearly, with eligible follow-up requests able to recover by reminting the conversation up to three times.
    • Recovery applies only to requests with stable client-thread continuity and retains state for up to one idle hour.
    • Empty forced-answer search results receive one tool-free recovery attempt before failing.
  • Documentation

    • Added reference documentation covering recovery limits, exclusions, and reset behavior.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for overflow recovery, retention, eviction, expiration, and excluded request scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cursor now supports bounded conversation remints for eligible thread-backed context overflows. Web search now retries one clean empty forced-answer pass without tools. Tests and documentation cover both behaviors and their exclusions.

Changes

Cursor overflow recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Overflow state and classification
src/adapters/cursor/cursor-errors.ts, src/adapters/cursor/thread-continuity.ts
The adapter recognizes bare context overflow errors and tracks surfaced state, remint counts, one-hour expiry, and bounded scope retention.
Adapter overflow recovery
src/adapters/cursor.ts
The adapter shares conversation remint logic and retries eligible overflow requests with a fresh conversation ID while preserving scope and checkpoint rules.
Cursor validation and documentation
tests/providers/cursor/*, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/proxy-formats.md, structure/providers/cursor.md, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
Tests cover remint limits, retained scopes, excluded request types, output handling, quota errors, and eviction. Documentation and test-layout fixtures describe the behavior.

Empty forced-answer recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Forced-answer recovery flow
src/web-search/loop.ts
The web-search loop allows one recovery attempt after a clean empty forced-answer pass. The recovery reuses search results, removes all tools, and uses toolChoice: "none".
Forced-answer validation and documentation
tests/web-search/web-search.test.ts, structure/runtime.md
Tests cover recovery, tool removal, malformed calls, authoritative stop reasons, persistent emptiness, and result reuse. Runtime documentation records these rules.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4f260

Overflow recovery can make a later continuation replay without its saved checkpoint, and the canonical adapter documentation is incomplete. Address these bounded issues before relying on the new behavior broadly.

이 PR은 Cursor 어댑터에서 "맨몸" context overflow(resource_exhausted이면서 쿼타/레이트가 아닌 형태)를 처음에는 그대로 표면에 드러내고, 그 다음에야 스레드당 최대 3번까지 conversation remint를 허용합니다. 목표는 Codex compact가 첫 overflow를 보고 움직일 시간을 주고, 이후에도 같은 클라이언트 스레드가 무한 remint로 도망가지 않게 만드는 것입니다. #4229를 이어서 가져왔고, 지금은 MERGEABLE이며 draft가 아닙니다.

상태 기계는 src/adapters/cursor/thread-continuity.ts에 있습니다. cursorOverflowRemintScopeKey는 conversation wire id가 아니라 client thread owner + identity scope로 키를 잡습니다. shouldSurfaceCursorOverflowFirst → markCursorOverflowSurfaced → recordCursorOverflowRemint(최대 3) → shouldSkipCursorOverflowRemint 흐름입니다. TTL 1시간·최대 2048 엔트리로 맵을 Bound 했습니다. cursor.ts의 runTurn 재시도 루프는 기존 echo/routing-commentary one-shot과 invalid_argument 경로를 보존하면서 overflow 분기를 끼워 넣습니다.

현재 dev의 cursor 경로와 맞춰 보면 파일 집합이 작고(9 files), 회귀 테스트가 adapter + continuity-retention에 구체적입니다. conversation-only(스레드 owner 없는) 요청은 remint allowance를 매번 채우지 않고 fail-closed 한다고 본문에 적혀 있습니다.

라인 / 심볼 - CURSOR_OVERFLOW_REMINT_MAX = 3 - 첫 surface 이후 3 remint. 숫자가 운영에 맞는지(너무 적으면 compact 실패 후 바로 에러, 많으면 비용) 확인
경로/심볼 - isCursorOverflowRemintCandidate - zero-token resource_exhausted + classify가 "Cursor context limit exceeded"일 때만. 쿼타 429와 섞이면 안 됨 → 테스트에 quota cue 음성 케이스 있으면 더 안전
경로/심볼 - in-memory Map - 프로세스 재시작 시 remint 카운터 리셋. 의도된 한계면 문서 한 줄
경로/심볼 - for (;;) remint 루프 - abortSignal·emittedOutput·replayUnsafe 가드가 overflow 경로에도 그대로 적용되는지 tip 테스트로 재확인
경로/심볼 - tool-result / partial-output / compaction 보존 주장 - 본문 약속과 테스트 이름이 일치하는지 머지 전 스모크

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • 이미 non-draft·MERGEABLE이므로 지금 dev에 넣을지, Cursor 관련 다른 tip과 묶을지
  • remint 상한 3이 제품 기본값으로 충분한지
  • identity-scope 없는 Desktop/store:false 클라이언트에서 surface-only가 너무 자주 보일지

너의 추천
우선순위 높은 랜딩 후보. tip CI 초록이면 dev에 합친다. remint 정책만 더 조이면 후속 PR로 숫자를 설정화하거나 문서화한다. 동일 overflow 테마 중복 PR이 있으면 이 PR을 남기고 나머지는 close.

Update the canonical Cursor adapter reference.

This change adds a user-visible recovery workflow, but it does not update docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/adapters.md. Document the experimental Cursor Run transport, process-local state, first surfaced bare overflow, stable client-thread identity scope instead of conversation wire ID, recovery exclusions, and restart reset there. Link this summary to that canonical reference instead of duplicating the policy.

As per coding guidelines, “Update all directly affected pages when a user workflow changes.” As per path instructions, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/adapters.md must describe these Cursor adapter recovery boundaries.

Clear invalidated checkpoint metadata from _parsed._providerContinuation.

The overflow branch invalidates the checkpoint store entry but leaves _parsed._providerContinuation.cursor.checkpointRef unchanged. If the reminted request completes without captured checkpoint bytes, commitCapturedCheckpoint leaves that state unchanged. The done path then emits the stale reference with the reminted conversationId.

On the next request, resolveCursorCheckpoint still sees the non-empty reference, cannot find its snapshot, and returns expired, which forces full replay instead of checkpoint continuation.

Remove the matching fields and add a regression assertion:

Proposed fix
-                if (inheritedCheckpointRef) invalidateCursorCheckpoint(inheritedCheckpointRef);
+                if (inheritedCheckpointRef) {
+                  invalidateCursorCheckpoint(inheritedCheckpointRef);
+                  const inheritedCursor = _parsed._providerContinuation?.cursor;
+                  if (inheritedCursor?.checkpointRef === inheritedCheckpointRef) {
+                    const {
+                      checkpointRef: _discardedCheckpointRef,
+                      checkpointUsable: _discardedCheckpointUsable,
