fix: V2 provider checkpoints must not claim correlated tool messages (#456)

[ranxianglei]

Closes #456

Root cause

claimCheckpointRanges (lib/v2/projection/normalize.ts) expanded each provider checkpoint across its index window and claimed the single unclaimed candidate — even when that candidate was the role:"tool" message answering an unexecuted tool call of a source-bound assistant (#425's exactly-one-candidate rule was purely positional, blind to ownership). The stolen result made exact-correlation validation fail fail-closed (invalid-source, "Tool origin … has no exact lowered input/output match"): the tool result vanished from the outgoing request and ACP disabled itself for the rest of the session.

Fix (two layers)

1. Claim layer (b67f433f): a reservedForCorrelatedTools index set (source-bound assistants' own indices ∪ the role=tool results of their call IDs) is computed after ID correlation and passed into claimCheckpointRanges, which skips reserved candidates. A checkpoint whose entire window was reserved sets new Draft.whollyReserved; buildProviderCheckpoint then emits no normalized message for it (sidecar disclosure only — no contentless assistant turn enters the algorithm projection).
2. Restore layer (5444d46e, found in dual-agent code review): the wholly-reserved shape is the first provider-checkpoint entry without a normalizedMessageId. restoreMissingV2OpaqueSources (lib/v2/projection/restore.ts) rejects any protected entry lacking one, which lib/v2/context.ts turns into "preserve provider request" = ACP off again, one layer downstream. Such entries are now exempt: no normalized message exists by construction, so nothing can be missing and nothing to restore.

Prerequisite commits carried in

This branch builds on the unmerged 2026-09-17_v2-checkpoint-provenance-guard line (#425 follow-up):

• 71458d18 fix: stop inferring V2 provider-checkpoint ownership from array position
• 37654026 fix: keep V2 patches alive when an uncorrelated provider checkpoint is compressed away

They are required for this fix to make sense (the positional-claim rule they introduced is what #456 refines) and touch no files beyond their own scope. No other content from that branch is included. 335a5f82 merges current origin/2026-09-17_v2-base (clean, no overlap).

Behavior changes (old → new)

Case	Old	New
Checkpoint window = only correlated tool indices	Claims the index → session-wide invalid-source rejection, tool result lost, ACP off	Claims nothing; sidecar entry (providerCheckpoint: true, empty indices, no normalized message); session valid, tool result intact
Checkpoint window mixes reserved + free indices (>1 candidates)	No claim	Claims the free remainder (per issue guard: "keep the tool-free remainder")
Restore sees wholly-reserved checkpoint entry	Rejected ("has no normalized source message") → ACP off	Accepted; nothing restored
Compatible-view single decoded-message claim / incompatible-switch non-claim / direct-view render-from-source / plain compactions	—	Unchanged (all pre-existing tests green)

Verification

• Repro shape from the issue: pre-fix valid=false invalid-source "Tool origin source:1:part:0 has no exact lowered input/output match"; post-fix valid=true, result={messageIndex:2,contentIndex:0}, originalContent.length===2, checkpoint entry has no normalized message.
• New tests (3): tests/v2-message-projection.test.ts ×2 (unit, incl. partial-window guard), tests/v2-context-patch.test.ts ×1 (context-level through restoreMissingV2OpaqueSources + applyV2ContextPatch). Each verified to FAIL with its corresponding lib change reverted.
• Full suite: 1417/1418 (only failure: tests/soft-block.test.ts env-only — hard-codes /tmp mkdir, read-only in this sandbox, fails identically on pristine base; CI /tmp is writable). Typecheck clean; touched files prettier-clean.
• Dual-agent code review done (one BLOCKER found and fixed: the restore-layer rejection above; two minors addressed as comment-only disclosures in types.ts).

[bot] 🏷 Independent verification complete — APPROVE, ready for human merge.

This session pulled pr-468 and verified the work independently (no redoing). One small fix was committed directly to the branch (labeled below).

① Original issue (#456) — direction correct. Root cause holds up under re-trace: base claimCheckpointRanges claimed every unclaimed index in a checkpoint window, so a role:"tool" result answering a correlated assistant's unexecuted call got stolen by the checkpoint → exact-correlation validation fail-closed (invalid-source) → tool result lost, ACP off for the session. The fix attacks the root cause (ownership-blind claiming), not the symptom.

② Regression review — existing behaviors inventoried, none broken:

• Compatible-view single decoded-message claim → unchanged (test "keeps claiming the single decoded checkpoint message in the compatible view" pins it).
• Incompatible-switch non-claim / render-from-source, direct-view empty-outgoing, plain compactions → unchanged (pre-existing tests green; end <= start guard keeps those windows on the old paths).
• lib/v2/projection/patch.ts:923 filters entries without normalizedMessageId, so wholly-reserved sidecar-only entries never enter patcher source loops → unaffected.
• Restore exemptions are scoped to entry.providerCheckpoint only; every other source type keeps its fail-closed rejection.
• Disclosed behavior changes (old→new) re-verified against code: fully-reserved window now claims nothing + emits no normalized message (was: steal → session-wide rejection/ACP-off); mixed reserved+free window claims the free remainder when it is the single unambiguous candidate (was: no claim); restore accepts the wholly-reserved entry instead of rejecting the whole patch (was: ACP off one layer downstream).

③ Code review — no blockers. Ordering is sound: ID correlation → reserved-set computation → claimCheckpointRanges → post-claim result correlation. The invariant claimed ∩ reserved = ∅ holds for all window shapes; reserving also covers executed-tool results, matching the #456 spec ("a source-bound assistant already correlates"). Draft.whollyReserved is set only when the window is non-empty and zero candidates remain, so the flag name's slight imprecision ("nothing left to decode") doesn't affect correctness.

④ Test validity — real tests, not tautologies. The 3 #456 tests import actual sources and assert with teeth: the unit test reproduces the issue's exact numbers pre/post (result={messageIndex:2,contentIndex:0}, originalContent.length===2, checkpoint entry indices [] / no normalized id, patch accepted with object-identical messages); the partial-window test pins the tool-free-remainder guard; the context-level test fails precisely at the restore rejection when only restore.ts is reverted. Mutation-verified per the earlier review pass; consistent with my independent runs.

⑤ Diff cleanliness — one finding, fixed in place. 11 files, all scoped (3 lib + 2 test + 2 devlog dirs). The PR body's "touched files prettier-clean" claim was inaccurate: tests/v2-context-patch.test.ts carried two long lines from prerequisite commit 37654026. Fixed directly on the branch as whitespace-only commit 1a8e1494 (+ worklog note); all five touched files now pass prettier --check. No other unrelated changes.

CI status: no GitHub Actions run exists for this PR — pr-checks.yml triggers only on PRs targeting master, and this targets 2026-09-17_v2-base (verified in the workflow file; same pattern as #429/#430). Local gates re-run independently on the final tree: typecheck clean, full suite 1417/1418 (sole failure reproduced in isolation: tests/soft-block.test.ts hard-codes /tmp mkdir → EACCES in this read-only-/tmp sandbox; environment-only, passes where /tmp is writable), prettier clean.
