* fix(agent-prompt): stop reporting delivered prompts as stalled (#16095)
Enter is written before verification runs, so `agent_prompt_stalled` can only
ever mean "turn start not observed" — never "prompt not delivered". Three of the
verifier's blind spots made that misreading routine, and the coordinator then
treated it as non-delivery and pasted the whole preamble a second time into a
worker already running it.
- Accept a hook-reported `working` recorded after the baseline. Hook rows reach
the runtime through getAgentStatusSnapshot with no window involved, unlike the
synthetic-title route that feeds workingSequence (suppressed for codex, absent
for kimi, and gated on window visibility for everyone else).
- Accept pane output after Enter when the agent was already working: a
`->working` edge is unreachable there, so the old predicate could never be
satisfied by a follow-up prompt. An idle agent still owes a real turn start,
so a swallowed Enter stays detectable.
- Give codex/kimi panes a longer effect window; their only turn-start proof is
an out-of-process hook round-trip, not a TUI repaint.
- Coordinator dispatch no longer fails (and re-dispatches) a task whose prompt
stalled; the dispatch stays active with its capability intact so the worker's
own report settles it.
* fix(orchestration): let a worker's own report correct an unobserved prompt (#16095)
Follow-up to f9f973c on two review findings.
Anchor the hook signal on a turn, not a refresh: `receivedAt`/`updatedAt` bump on
every same-state hook ping, so an in-progress turn could have passed for a new
one and silently accepted every prompt to a working agent. `stateStartedAt` is
the documented per-turn identity (pinned across same-state pings), so the
verifier now reads that.
Close the worker-start path: a `dispatch_input` stall settled the dispatch as
failed *and* revoked the capability, so a worker that ran the preamble to
completion had its result rejected. Revocation is now skipped for that cause,
and a worker report can re-settle a dispatch whose `last_failure` is
`agent_prompt_stalled` — retaining the capability alone was not enough, because
settlement also gates on dispatch/task status.
* fix(orchestration): let a failed worker report correct a stalled-prompt record (#16095)
The duplicate short-circuit ran before the unobserved-prompt branch, and for
outcome 'failed' both expected statuses are exactly the state failWorkerStart
leaves behind. A worker that reported a real failure was answered
duplicate:true, so its cause and result body were dropped and the record kept
'agent_prompt_stalled'. Evaluate settledByUnobservedPrompt first so one failure
report can re-settle that dispatch; a repeat report is still a duplicate.
Also derive the previous dispatch/worker states once instead of two parallel
ternaries, reuse getPtyAgent in createAgentPromptRenderGate, cite the real
30s relay request budget the hook window is sized against, and make the
coordinator test settle an actual worker report rather than calling
completeDispatch under a name that promised otherwise.
* test(orchestration): carry the new dispatch-depth fields into this PR's fixtures
main added required creator/maxDepth on createStartingWorkerDispatch and
nestedWorkerMaxDepth on dispatchTaskToWorker while this branch was open. The two
fixtures added here predate them, so the merge typechecked clean on each side
and failed once combined. Mechanical; no behaviour asserted here changes.
