* Move the turn message ordinals and the turn-row revision to the neutral timeline folder Pure moves so a shared timeline assembler can use them: Codex's message ordinal counter becomes ProviderTurnMessageOrdinals and Claude's turn-row revision becomes the provider-neutral agent-journal turn-row revision. Only names and import paths change. * Admit one provider event's writes as one transition, and let rows be found again after a restart - A sink transition is admitted whole or not at all; its steps run back to back at their turn in the journal's write queue, and each resolver reads the fold with every earlier write landed. A resolver may also say where the row belongs (turn scope, provider reference), and the writer always hears how the transition landed. A resolved lifecycle batch chooses its settlement mutations from the fold at execution. - New optional row field providerItemRef: the provider's own reference for the item a row is, written only where the row's identity cannot spell it (Codex keys messages by their place in the turn and renumbers its item ids on resume). Set by the creating write, kept by revisions, indexed by the journal fold, never read by clients. A downgrade test shows an older host and client render such rows unchanged. - Provider timeline identity schemes (shared legacy arm, Codex) and the join index that resolves a provider item to its row from memory or the fold: ordinals and request incarnations are read back from the rows, so a restart or an evicted entry finds the original row instead of placing a new one. * Recover message ordinals from the journal's highest place, and forget joins read from a replaced epoch A fresh join index continued a turn's messages at the first free place, so a journal holding only a later ordinal (an imported or removed earlier row) had its sequence back-filled. The place is now one past the highest ordinal any row or echoed send holds there, read through a pure scheme reader. The join caches also drop what they read when the journal's epoch is replaced. * Spell the subagent thread's message slot without spreading an identity union * Add a provider timeline grammar and a shared assembler that decides at its turn in the journal Adapters translate their provider's dialect into a small grammar (turns, items, streamed text, requests, context facts, session end/reset); one shared assembler turns it into the journal rows every structured lane writes. Each event is planned as one sink transition. Which row a write lands on, whether a replay writes anything, and every change to what the assembler knows (its ledger) are decided by the transition's resolvers at the event's turn in the journal's write queue, against the fold as it stands then. A forecast (the ledger plus admitted events still queued) only answers apply() at once. So a refused event allocates nothing, a write the journal rejects leaves no trace in memory, and a restart or evicted cache finds the same rows again. Text and full snapshots of one provider item share one row and one lifecycle; reset always flushes text and settles the old session from the journal; the open-work budget is derived from what is actually open. Codex migration contracts compare against the existing Codex translator, including a restart mid-stream and a repeat that outlives the join cache. * Fix the types and the exhaustive event switch CI reported for the assembler * Let the journal decide stream lifetimes, request reuse, named sends and background work A third review found two blockers with the earlier rounds' cause, a remembered interpretation trusted after the journal moved on: - A reused request id was judged by its earlier prompt's settled turn before asking which turn the new one lands in, so a real approval in a later turn was dropped. The target turn now decides: the old turn again is a replay; a different live turn opens the next prompt beside it. - A text stream checked its row's turn only on its first write, and a turn's end released streams by the turn planning expected. Every write now checks the row, a turn's end stops the streams whose rows are in it, and turn status reads the journal first, so another writer's Stop wins. Also: a message boundary drawn by an event the journal held as a replay no longer splits an anonymous message; a send naming a turn not yet open waits for that turn; the budget charges a stream's thread and turn strings and the turn caches are byte-bounded; the open turn ends when the journal shows it settled; a turn's opener is read from the journal's row. Background work is now Orca's existing background-task row instead of a tool call flagged `outlivesTurn` (a flag remembered only in memory, so a restart failed the task). A turn's end never settles that row, so it survives restarts; session end leaves one in flight unverifiable. Three tests that opened a background tool call with `outlivesTurn` now open a background-task row and keep their original expectations about which turn the row stays in. * Type the unbound assembler helper's drain as the void it reports * Bound the rows kept for a continued anonymous message and the stopped streams A row kept for the anonymous stream that may continue it, and the marker that a stopped stream's queued writes write nothing, lived in the live-stream map and were never removed when no stream followed. They now live in their own bounded maps, so the live map holds open streams only. * Keep the journal store under its line limit after the main merge * Drop the provider item reference, join index and identity schemes from the transition PR Nothing in production reaches the state they defended (an assembler that lost its memory while its child keeps streaming the same turn), and the stored Codex id was positional. The legacy identity scheme moves to the assembler PR with its first caller; the Codex scheme and any persisted reference wait for Codex to move onto the assembler. The Codex ordinal counter goes back to codex/, since no neutral code imports it. * Write a resolved settlement in one transaction through enqueueRows A settlement too large for one row now commits all its rows or none, through the journal's existing all-or-nothing write, instead of a row-by-row writer. Every row is built before any commits, so a settlement naming one item twice is refused before anything is written. * Drop the transition's landing report; keep the turn-row write fire-and-forget Nothing reads which steps of a transition wrote. A failed step fails the sink, leaving the steps before it written; the header says so, and tests cover it plus a settlement whose second row fails inside the transaction. writeAgentJournalTurnRow returns nothing again, as on main. * Run a transition's steps as a prefix; drop the paced flag and resolved options A failed step no longer lets the steps after it write: each step checks, at its own turn in the journal's queue, whether the write handed over just ahead of it completed, using the queue's count of completed write bodies (a promise would report the failure only after the next step ran). The sink fails only once every step has had its turn. The item step's `paced` size bypass and the resolver's replacement `options` are removed; nothing planned uses them. * Rebuild the timeline assembler on one admission-order state The assembler kept a second copy of its state (a forecast beside a ledger), hydrated the open turn from the journal, and recognised replays, all to recover from losing its memory while the provider child kept streaming. That never happens: one assembler lives exactly as long as one child, and a new child is a new assembler in a new generation whose events land after the dead-generation sweep. - One state, changed only when the sink admits an event (minted keys included), so a refused event takes nothing. - Every journal-dependent choice is made when the write runs, by keyed reads: a turn row is written only where none is, a stream checks its row's turn on every write, a running snapshot never lands in a settled turn or relights a settled tool, a request takes the first incarnation the journal holds no row for. - Rows are found by spelling their ids (provider-timeline-rows.ts); no join cache. - The identity scheme (legacy arm only) lives here with its first caller; requests are spelled in their acquisition generation, since JSON-RPC ids restart per process. - Saved history goes in as `input.history` plus ordinary events with the provider's ids, into an empty journal; `session.reset` and every replay rule are gone. - One terminal-body function (`terminalAgentJournalBody`) is shared with the dead-generation settlement. - The test rig's restart now sweeps and starts a new generation, as production does. * Cover new running work in a turn the sweep ended * Run a transition's steps in one queued write that loops over them The steps of one event now share one turn in the journal's write queue: a loop writes each in its own transaction through the row writer's synchronous writeRows (split out of enqueueRows) and stops at the first throw. Prefix semantics and "nothing lands between the steps" now hold by construction, so the completed-write counter on the queue, the step gate and the allSettled barrier are gone; the queue is back to main's bytes. * End a turn another writer settled the way the provider's end does A person's Stop settled the open turn's row without a word to the assembler. The assembler then forgot the turn: its running tools and pending prompts were never settled, the provider's own end and withdrawal were dropped, and the turn's text streams stayed counted against the open budget for the life of the process. Text the provider kept streaming afterwards could land as a message outside the stopped turn. - The open turn the journal shows settled ends first, as one transition, through the same settlement the provider's turn.end plans; its streams stop and their keys drop later text until that turn's end or the next turn opens. - turn.end and request.withdrawn are admitted for a turn or request the journal holds; their settlement writes nothing for rows already settled. - The budget's re-check frees streams whose turn settled. - A settled tool keeps its terminal body against any differing write. - Session-end settlement of lost background work uses the journal's own lostLiveWorkJournalBody instead of a copy. - The rig's window elapses before every read, and restart swaps and disposes the old assembler. * Leave a stopped turn's running tools to the agent's own end When another writer settles the open turn (a person's Stop), the assembler now only stops that turn's text and cancels its pending prompts. Running tool calls stay the agent's: a progress update or completion it reports after the Stop lands as reported, and whatever is still running settles at the agent's turn end for that turn, the next turn's open, or the session's end. An agent's end for an earlier turn while a newer one is open no longer clears the open turn's activity line or ends its anonymous reply. An unnamed end right after a Stop ends the stopped turn instead of being dropped. The test rig's restart no longer writes the dead assembler's window text, matching dispose. * Pin that a stopped turn's running tools hold budget until the agent's end * Type the stopped turn's tool progress update as a tool body * List every event the assembler hands to the decision step The type-aware lint requires an exhaustive switch with no default case. Also retitle a Stop test to say what it asserts. * refactor(native-chat): drop saved-history adoption from the timeline assembler The common pattern discards the history a provider replays while loading a session, so the assembler has no use for an input.history event. * refactor(native-chat): a pending input is only Orca's send now Review follow-up to the adoption removal: drop the comment naming the provider's saved message, and make requestedAt required since every pending input comes from input.accepted. * Use current provider handles in transition tests * Use current provider handles in timeline fixtures
