Issue for this PR

Closes #1460

Type of change

• Bug fix

What does this PR do?

A message sent while the assistant is busy joins the running prompt loop instead of starting one. The engine's turn boundary (reconcile the engine, then catalog and pin the tools) ran only on a loop's first catalog, so that message kept the run's tools and an engine installed meanwhile never attached for it.

The boundary now runs on the first catalog of each user request in the loop, not of each user message. The loop writes user messages itself: the summary after a subtask, the validator retry, the compaction marker and the continue message. Re-running the boundary on those would re-pin engine tools mid-task, which the pin exists to prevent.

Precedent. What counts as a user request isn't new here. Lesson retrieval in the same loop already decides it (the lessons block before the tool catalog in prompt.ts): a user message with a text part that is neither synthetic nor ignored, or a file part; a compaction replay stamped with metadata.learnOriginalMessage stays the request it replays. This PR moves that rule unchanged into UserRequest.requestID and both callers use it, so the two can't drift apart.

TurnBoundary.tracker() replaces the catalogued flag. It runs the boundary on the loop's first catalog and on the first catalog after a request it hasn't seen. It checks every request in history, not just the newest, so neither a loop-written message nor a replay arriving after a queued one hides it.

Claims

• C1 A message sent while the assistant is busy gets its own turn boundary in the same loop, so an engine installed meanwhile attaches on it.
• C2 The messages the loop writes itself never run the boundary again.
• C3 Lesson retrieval selects as before: same rule, now shared.
• C4 A loop with one request is unchanged: one boundary, on its first catalog.

Residuals

• R1 Compaction stamps a replay only while lessons are delivered for the session (projects with .altimate-code/learn). Elsewhere, a replay after an overflow counts as a new request and runs the boundary once more, where the request restarts from the summary. With the engine unchanged, that reconcile changes nothing.
• R2 The turn that raises the install offer still runs without integration tools. That's a separate design question.
• R3 A client that supplies its own message ids out of send order: a message given a lower id than the one running sorts before it, and the running loop ends without answering it (on main too).

Overlap: #1431 adds if (firstCatalog) workspaceNotice.settle(sessionID) on a line this PR renames. Whichever merges second resolves it as if (boundary) …, so the linked-project notice also re-settles for a queued request.

How did you verify your code works?

• The rule, over each writer's message shape: user text, a file, subtask summary, validator retry, compaction marker, continue message, stamped and unstamped replays.
• The tracker, over loop histories, including a queued request followed by a loop-written message.
• The real prompt loop (test LLM server, boundary spied): a message sent while the first answer is on hold reaches the model in the same run and gets a second boundary. On main this test fails (1 boundary, expected 2). An overflow that compacts and continues gets one.
• Live before/after (E2E), install mid-run then a queued message: main gets no engine tools; here the engine starts with its 20 tools.
• Typecheck clean; learn, workspace and session suites pass (4183, 45 todo). Marker Guard clean.

Summary by cubic

Fixes the workspace engine's turn boundary so a message sent while the assistant is busy attaches the engine on that message, instead of keeping the tools from the previous request.

• The boundary now runs on the first catalog of each user request in the loop, not just the loop's first catalog.
• The rule for identifying user requests is now shared with lesson retrieval via UserRequest.requestID.
• Any request not seen before in the history triggers a boundary, so a stamped compaction replay or out-of-order history can't hide a message queued during compaction.
• The loop's own messages (subtask summary, validator retry, compaction marker, continue message) still don't trigger a boundary.
• The linked-project notice is settled at each boundary, so a queued request is told the engine state its own tools came from.

^{Written for commit b6a3a6a. Summary will update on new commits.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Workspace updates and notices now run at each new user-request boundary, including requests submitted while the assistant is busy, so queued requests reflect the appropriate workspace state.
  • Compaction and continuation remain part of the same request turn, avoiding duplicate boundary handling and repeated workspace updates.
  • Assistant replies and messages generated internally during a loop do not trigger additional request-boundary updates.

📝 Walkthrough

The prompt loop now detects user-request boundaries across catalogs. It runs workspace boundary operations for each new request and uses shared request identity logic for learning selection. Tests cover request identification, tracking, queued messages, and compaction continuation.

Changes: Workspace request boundaries

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Request identity and boundary tracking packages/opencode/src/altimate/session/user-request.ts, packages/opencode/src/altimate/workspace/turn-boundary.ts, packages/opencode/test/altimate/session/user-request.test.ts, packages/opencode/test/altimate/workspace/turn-boundary.test.ts	requestID identifies eligible user requests by replay metadata or message ID. tracker reports the first catalog and catalogs with unseen request IDs. Unit tests cover both behaviors.
Prompt-loop boundary integration packages/opencode/src/session/prompt.ts, packages/opencode/test/session/workspace-turn-boundary-loop.test.ts	The prompt loop runs workspace reconciliation, cataloguing, tool pinning, and notice settlement at request boundaries. Learning selection uses requestID. Integration tests cover a queued message and compaction continuation.

_{A rabbit queued a note mid-flight,
The boundary caught its request just right.
New tools appeared at the prompt’s next seam,
While tracked IDs followed the stream.
Through compacted paths, the tests took flight,
And workspace notices matched the light.}

cubic, first run after the ready flip, on bf485dc6e: 1 P1 fixed in 16d49697d (the tracker checks every request in history, not only the newest, so a stamped replay can't hide a queued request; this also covers round 1's reordering), 1 P2 test fix taken, 1 P2 declined on its thread. 16d49697d has no Codex round yet (cap reached).

cubic, second run, on 16d49697d: clean (0 issues). Kilo: 1 test-only note answered on its thread.

Rebase onto main (bed000739, after the datamate_manager and /integrations PRs merged): no Codex round. Commits 2 and 3 are unchanged. Commit 1 differs only in how the conflict with the linked-project notice in prompt.ts was resolved: the notice is now settled at each request's boundary, not only at the first catalog, so it describes the engine state that request's tools came from. That join is now covered by the loop test in b6a3a6aad: the engine is missing at the first boundary and running at the queued one. The test checks each request's system prompt, and it fails with the notice settled only at the first catalog.

E2E: before and after, the same steps

Setup: a fresh project linked to a test workspace that declares Snowflake, Altimate, Jira and GitHub (60 tools); no datamate on PATH; isolated state; run from source; Claude Sonnet 4.5.

Steps: send Run the bash command sleep 45 and then reply with the single word: done → the install offer appears → Install now → "Workspace engine installed" after ~15 s, with the sleep still running → send List every tool name you have that starts with datamate_, one per line. If you have none, say: NO DATAMATE TOOLS, which shows as QUEUED.

main (b093196877): the queued message runs in the same loop without the engine.

┃  List every tool name you have that starts with datamate_, one per line. If you have none, say: NO DATAMATE TOOLS
     NO DATAMATE TOOLS
     done

No engine process was started.

This PR (bf485dc6e): the queued message gets its own boundary, and the engine attaches on it.

┃  List every tool name you have that starts with datamate_, one per line. If you have none, say: NO DATAMATE TOOLS
     datamate_ask_knowledge_base
     datamate_altimate_analyze_snowflake_query
     … (Altimate 7, Jira 8, Snowflake 5)
     datamate_snowflake_get_table_stats
     done

datamate start-stdio --datamate 5 is running, and the boot box reads "20 of 60 integration tools available · 40 need attention" (the account has no GitHub connection, so GitHub's 40 are expected to be missing).

Consensus Code Review — altimate-code PR #1461

fix(workspace): attach the engine for a message sent while the assistant is busy (head 16d49697d0)

Code Review Summary

Verdict: APPROVE (no blockers; minor follow-ups)
Critical Issues: 0
Major Issues: 0
Minor Issues: 3
Design notes (documented trade-offs): 2
Nits: 2

Claims verified by the whole panel:

• C1: a queued text or file message gets its own boundary.
• C2: none of the loop-written messages carries a request (requestID is undefined for each): the subtask summary (prompt.ts:~1101-1122), the validator retry (~1997-2014), the compaction marker and the continue message (compaction.ts:~1779).
• C3: requestID is a faithful move of the lessons predicate. The text/file query is now built lazily inside if (!selected), which is equivalent.
• C4: a single-request loop gets one boundary, on its first catalog.

Minor Issues

1. A queued subtask slash command never runs the boundary (Logic): packages/opencode/src/altimate/session/user-request.ts:17-20, packages/opencode/src/session/prompt.ts:4225-4239
   With isSubtask, SessionPrompt.command writes a user message whose only part is type: "subtask". requestID returns undefined for it, so a /review-style subtask command sent while the assistant is busy is invisible to the tracker. The child session gets its own boundary. The parent's continuation after the synthetic summary still keeps the previously pinned engine tools, so C1 doesn't hold for this message shape. The test "runs for a queued message even when the loop writes one after it" models /review with a subtask as a plain text message, which is not what the command path writes.
   Fix: treat a subtask part as a request in the tracker, or document it as residual R4. Either way, make the test fixture match the real message shape.
   Flagged by: Claude; confirmed by DeepSeek V4 Pro, Qwen 3.6 Plus and GPT 5.3 Codex in convergence

2. The tracker rescans the full history on every catalog (Performance): packages/opencode/src/altimate/workspace/turn-boundary.ts:24-30
   The cost is O(messages × parts) per catalog. In practice that's negligible next to filterCompacted and the reminders. Optionally, cache each message's classification by info.id. Short-circuiting on the first unseen request is not safe: every unseen request has to be added to seen, or the next catalog fires again.
   Flagged by: GPT 5.3 Codex, Grok 4.3, Qwen 3.6 Plus, DeepSeek V4 Pro, Claude

3. Missing loop-level tests (Testing): packages/opencode/test/session/workspace-turn-boundary-loop.test.ts
   The real-loop tests only exercise the queued message and overflow with compaction. Still missing through the real loop:

   • validator retry and subtask summary, expecting a single boundary;
   • an unstamped replay without lessons, expecting one extra boundary (R1);
   • a queued subtask-only command (issue 1);
   • two requests queued before one catalog.
     Flagged by: GPT 5.3 Codex, DeepSeek V4 Pro, Qwen 3.6 Plus, Claude

Design notes (documented trade-offs, not defects)

• D1: a mid-loop boundary re-pins tool order and can re-link the directory engine. Locations: prompt.ts:1459-1461, engine-overlay.ts:472-483.
  • Tool order: with boundary === true, pinTurnTools discards the previous key order. If the catalog order differs, the prompt cache misses for the rest of the loop.
  • Engine re-link: atTurnStart → reconcile may re-link the per-directory engine. Another session in the same directory with pinned wrappers then calls a closed client.
  • Both were previously reachable only at loop start. They are now reachable on every queued message. Worth a line in the PR residuals. Claude; reclassified by GPT 5.3 Codex
• D2: R1, an unstamped compaction replay re-runs the boundary mid-task. Locations: turn-boundary.ts:15-17, compaction.ts:1667-1675.
  • Without lessons (most projects), each overflow compaction with a replay re-runs the boundary. If the engine changed meanwhile, that's a mid-task engine switch.
  • The PR documents this as intended.
  • Possible follow-up: the stamp is metadata only, so the original id could be stamped unconditionally under a neutral key. Request identity would then no longer depend on the lessons feature. Claude; reclassified by GPT 5.3 Codex

Nits

• user-request.ts:19: FilePart has no synthetic/ignored flags, so any file part counts as a request. Add a comment that loop-written messages must not carry file parts. Qwen 3.6 Plus (downgraded from MAJOR)
• workspace-turn-boundary-loop.test.ts:~148-158: the test waits for the queued message by polling 100×20ms. That's fine, but a diagnostic when the poll runs out would help if it flakes under load. Qwen 3.6 Plus

Positive Observations

• One source of truth for "is this a user request", so lessons and the engine boundary can't drift apart.
• The tracker scans all of history, so it handles filterCompacted reordering and stamped replays that arrive after a queued message. Both cases are tested.
• A real-loop integration test that fails on main.
• One tracker closure per loop, with no module-level state.
• Comments explain the why (loop step vs. catalog, reordering).

Unintended Consequences

1. The engine pin and reconcile now run mid-loop: prompt.ts:1459-1461. This can reset tool order (prompt-cache miss) and may re-link the engine under other sessions in the same directory (D1). Mitigation: document it in the residuals. Claude
2. Overlap with feat(workspace): turn off datamate_manager in projects linked to a workspace #1431: the firstCatalog rename. This is a merge-order conflict only, already noted in the PR.

Rejected panel findings

• "Lesson retrieval reads user before insertReminders mutates it" (DeepSeek, MAJOR): rejected. The ordering is unchanged from main, lessons run before reminders on purpose, and requestID ignores synthetic parts.
• "pinTurnTools is now called on every catalog" (DeepSeek): rejected. Main already called it on every catalog.
• "Short-circuit the tracker on the first unseen request" (Grok's fix suggestion): rejected because it would re-fire on the next catalog.
• Local requestID shadowing, redundant String() (DeepSeek, Qwen): rejected. This is pre-existing code moved verbatim.
• File-level header comments (Grok): rejected, since the repo marker convention is followed.

[ralphstodomingo]

@sahrizvi, this needs your re-approval: rebasing onto main after #1431 and #1464 merged dismissed it.

The only change from 16d49697d is the prompt.ts conflict with #1431, the overlap your review noted:

• both imports kept;
• workspaceNotice is declared beside turnBoundary;
• if (firstCatalog) workspaceNotice.settle(sessionID) became if (boundary) workspaceNotice.settle(sessionID), so the linked-project notice settles at each boundary, a queued request's included.

Compare: git range-diff b093196877..16d49697d0 d0f917b5c2..bed0007399. Typecheck and the workspace, turn-boundary and loop suites pass on the rebased tree; CI is running on bed0007399.

Consensus Re-Review — altimate-code PR #1461 (head b6a3a6aade)

Code Review Summary

Verdict: APPROVE — no blockers
Critical Issues: 0
Major Issues: 0
Minor Issues: 3
Nits: 1

Scope of this re-review: the rebase onto main (d0f917b5c2, resolving the #1431 conflict) and the new test commit b6a3a6aade, plus the status of every earlier finding and the author's replies to it.

Rebase resolution verified correct (all 5 reviewers). if (boundary) workspaceNotice.settle(sessionID) (prompt.ts:1465) settles the linked-project notice at each request's boundary. atTurnStart has just settled the outcome for that request, so the notice describes the engine that request's pinned tools came from. If the notice were settled only at the first catalog, a queued request would be told "engine missing" while it holds engine tools. The new test pins this: request 1's prompt has MISSING, request 2's has RUNNING and not MISSING, and the test fails with the first-catalog-only resolution. DeepSeek confirmed that Bun's spyOn calls through, so the off-by-one in boundaries.mock.calls.length < 2 is correct: settle runs after atTurnStart records its call.

Minor Issues

1. The deferred subtask gap has a misleading test and no reply on its thread (Testing / Logic): packages/opencode/test/altimate/workspace/turn-boundary.test.ts:~67-75, src/altimate/session/user-request.ts:17-20
   This was raised before: kilo's WARNING and Minor 1 of the earlier consensus review. Deferring the fix itself is acceptable. These two cheap steps can go in this PR, or at the latest in the follow-up:

   • The test "runs for a queued message even when the loop writes one after it" builds /review with a subtask as a plain-text message. SessionPrompt.command writes a single type: "subtask" part for that command, and requestID() returns undefined for it. The test therefore stays green for a shape the code doesn't handle. Rename it to a text prompt, or switch to the real shape and assert the current behaviour (no boundary) so the gap is pinned.
   • Add the gap to the description as residual R4, and reply on the kilo thread, which has no answer yet.

2. Docstrings still describe one pin per loop, at the first catalog (Documentation): files outside the diff

   • src/altimate/workspace/datamate-manager-gate.ts:93-98 (turnNotice) says the notice is "rendered once, from the outcome the turn's boundary settled at its first catalog". It is now re-rendered at every boundary.
   • src/altimate/workspace/engine-overlay.ts:529-541: turnTools says "the engine tools a turn catalogued first", and pinTurnTools(sessionID, firstCatalog, …) still names its parameter firstCatalog while the caller passes boundary.
   • src/altimate/workspace/awareness.ts:147 says "pinned to the turn's first catalog".
     The caching rationale in these comments still holds. Only the "first catalog" wording is now wrong. Fix: rename the parameter to boundary, and change the wording to "each request's boundary".
     Flagged by: Claude (MINOR), DeepSeek V4 Pro (NIT)

3. The residuals don't cover the mid-loop changes the rebase adds (Design / Documentation): prompt.ts:1463-1465
   At a queued request's boundary, the system prompt itself now changes: the notice goes from MISSING to RUNNING. The tool order is also re-pinned (D1 in the earlier review). Both miss the provider's prompt cache for that step. atTurnStart → reconcile can also re-link the directory engine under other sessions in the same directory. These are intended (C1) but not listed under Residuals.
   DeepSeek adds a nuance to R3: if request A is still making tool calls when a lower-id B arrives, the loop doesn't exit, so B is scanned and fires a boundary that re-pins A's tools mid-task. Same mechanism, pathological input.
   Fix: add one line to the residuals. No code change needed.

Nits

• The new loop test's settledOutcome spy is coupled to the call count and applies to the whole module (test/session/workspace-turn-boundary-loop.test.ts:~124-137):
  • The spy keys on boundaries.mock.calls.length < 2. A third boundary (for example R1) would quietly get "attached".
  • It also changes what precedence.ts:261 (attachOutcome) reads. Harmless today, because the test makes no tool calls.
  • Fix: a comment stating these assumptions.

Positive Observations

• The rebase took the consistent resolution, and a test fails on the alternative.
• requestID is one rule shared by lesson retrieval and the engine boundary.
• The tracker doesn't depend on history order, and each loop gets its own closure with no module state.
• The real-loop tests fail on main.
• Every earlier bot finding was answered with a commit or with reasoning, against a stated claims and residuals contract.

Missing Tests

All of these were raised before and deferred:

• a queued subtask-only command, in its real shape;
• validator retry and subtask summary through the real loop, expecting one boundary;
• R1, an unstamped replay through the real loop;
• two requests queued before one catalog.

Unintended Consequences

1. A boundary is now reachable mid-loop: prompt.ts:1463-1465. On each queued request this can change the system-prompt notice and the tool order, which misses the prompt cache. It can also re-link the directory engine under other sessions in the same directory. Announcements are deduplicated, so a repeat verdict stays quiet. Mitigation: document it in the residuals (Minor 3). Flagged by: DeepSeek V4 Pro, Qwen 3.6 Plus, Claude
2. Nothing else: GPT and Grok reported "None found — searched callers, tests, and downstream consumers". No public API, CLI or config contract changed.

Rejected panel findings

• Qwen F2, "tool-only user messages get no request": rejected. Tool parts live on assistant messages, so no user-message writer produces a tool-only user message.
• Qwen F4, "requestID local shadows the import": rejected. Qwen itself concluded no change is needed, and the import is namespaced as UserRequest.requestID.
