Related work

Related to #630. Prerequisite for #1360; does not close the issue.

Summary

Extracts the unchanged transport reducer/driver, additive wire declarations, 111-test suite, bounded model checker, verification command, and staged-delivery architecture note from #1360.
This PR does NOT activate the transport. Task producers, provider focus/disposal, resync, and React integration remain in #1360. Legacy transcript delivery and extension state are unchanged.

Scope and dependency

The unchanged selector reports 262 executable extension lines against the 500 cap. After this prerequisite actually merges unchanged and #1360 is updated, its extension scope should fall from 567 to 305. Opening this prerequisite alone does not unblock #1360 against main. No thresholds, timeouts, exclusions, workflows, or review policies were relaxed.

Validation

Head: 23aebaf. Base: c5b5855.

  • 111 focused transport tests passed.
  • Fresh full workspace: 12,554 Vitest tests passed, 40 skipped, plus one Node test.
  • Fresh workspace types and lint: 11/11 tasks each. Suppression counts unchanged.
  • Lifecycle/transcript and standalone fan-out models passed.
  • Formatting and whitespace checks passed.
  • Local Node 22.22.2 is below requested 22.23.1; remote CI validates the pinned runtime. No local E2E/visual run claimed.

Mutation result: advisory, not clean

Remote run https://github.com/Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code/actions/runs/35474353802 completed with 303 generated mutants: 283 killed, 5 survived, 2 uncovered, 11 timeouts, and 2 runtime errors. The runner counts 301 valid mutants. Scope and mutant-count budgets pass, but 11 timeouts exceed the unchanged bound, making the result INCONCLUSIVE. The green workflow is advisory success, not a clean mutation pass.
Remaining evidence gaps include task-sequence pruning, defensive callback/completion guards, and completion-path timeouts. Equivalence of defensive guards must be demonstrated, not assumed or excluded.

Review boundary

Open for staged prerequisite review; not claimed merge-ready. Both PRs remain unmerged. Integration guarantees and tests remain in #1360. Maintainer approval and completion of all CI/review gates remain required.

  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive model-based and deterministic tests covering transcript delivery, sequencing, chunking, shutdown, invalidation, and recovery.

Walkthrough

This PR adds a TranscriptTransport state machine and driver for queued transcript delivery. It adds transcript wire types, snapshot chunking, lifecycle handling, bounded model checking, behavioral tests, verification scripts, and architecture documentation.

Changes

Transcript transport foundation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transport contracts and reducer
packages/types/src/vscode-extension-host.ts, src/core/webview/transcriptTransport.ts
The transport now defines request, job, frame, state, action, and transition types. The reducer validates scope and generation, allocates task sequences, chunks snapshots, handles invalidation and shutdown, and maps frames to extension messages.
Transport driver and lifecycle
src/core/webview/transcriptTransport.ts
TranscriptTransport now stores payloads and callers, serializes physical sends, supports shutdown and reopen, settles callers, and handles synchronous and asynchronous send failures.
Model exploration and behavioral tests
src/core/webview/__tests__/transcriptTransport.model.ts, src/core/webview/__tests__/transcriptTransport.spec.ts
The model explores ten scenarios within bounded state and depth limits, checks transport and receiver invariants, and validates 24 injected faults. Tests cover admission, sequencing, chunking, invalidation, renderer replacement, reentrancy, stale instances, and send failures.
Verification tooling and architecture record
scripts/check-transcript-transport.ts, package.json, docs/architecture/transcript-transport-foundation.md
A dedicated model-check command was added to the lifecycle check chain. The architecture document records the transport behavior, verification bounds, invariants, and stated limits.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 23aeb

The new foundation can silently discard messages when given a multi-message delta. Although production activation is deferred, that contract defect should be fixed before merging this prerequisite.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

The new transport exposes a cross-scope transcript leak. In TranscriptTransport.enqueue, a snapshot with taskId: undefined is admitted when focus is also undefined because isTranscriptRequestCurrent allows all snapshots without a task. The method then deep-clones any non-empty message array and sends it through postMessage; transcriptFrameMessage places those messages in snapshot chunks with no task identity. The declarations state that the no-task snapshot is empty. A caller that passes a sensitive task transcript during the no-task focus can therefore publish that transcript to the no-task renderer. The reviewed tests cover only empty no-task snapshots. The transport is not currently wired into production, but this new exported API exposes the unsafe path.

Resolution

Enforce the no-task contract before payload capture and in reducer admission: reject any snapshot with taskId === undefined when its message count is non-zero. Keep empty no-task snapshots allowed so they can emit start/end frames. Add a regression test that enqueues a non-empty no-task snapshot, verifies that structuredClone, postMessage, payload storage, caller registration, and protocol IDs are not used, and exercises the pure reducer directly so callers cannot bypass the guard.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

The new driver can retain queued work when the error callback throws. If one physical send rejects while another job is queued, send() settles and releases only the failed job at transcriptTransport.ts:397, then calls callbacks.onError(error) at line 398 before drain() at line 399. A throwing onError exits the completion handler before drain(). The queued job remains in state.queue, its payload remains in payloads, and its caller remains in callers with an unresolved Promise. The same orphaning can occur when a focus callback throws during drain() after admission. These are changed lifecycle paths that leak transport-owned resources.

Resolution

Make completion cleanup non-throwing. Guard onError and always execute drain() in a finally block after settlement. Also guard focus callbacks used by drain(); if admission has already registered a job, release its payload and settle its caller when callback evaluation fails, or provide an equivalent retry/cleanup path. Add tests for a rejected post with a throwing onError and for a throwing focus callback after admission, and assert that queues, payloads, callers, and physical-send state are cleaned or progressed.

Head-specific mutation result: advisory, not clean

Head: 23aebaf. Run: https://github.com/Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code/actions/runs/35474353802 .

The split passes the unchanged executable-line cap (262 of 500) and generated-mutant cap (303 of 400). Actual totals: 283 killed, 5 survived, 2 uncovered, 11 timed out, and 2 runtime errors. The runner counts 301 valid mutants and reports INCONCLUSIVE because 11 timeouts exceed its unchanged count bound. Its green workflow status is advisory success, not a clean mutation pass.

Remaining gaps: task-sequence pruning has one survivor and two uncovered mutations; four defensive callback/completion guards survive. Any claim of equivalent unreachable mutants needs explicit analysis, not assumptions or exclusions. Completion-path mutations account for the reported timeouts. The workflow artifact contains all findings.

The extracted implementation and its 111-test suite remain unchanged from #1360. Fresh full workspace validation passed 12,554 Vitest tests /40 skipped plus one Node test; fresh types and lint passed 11/11 tasks each; lifecycle/transcript and standalone fan-out models passed. No suppression counts increased.

This is a reviewable prerequisite, not a claim of full merge readiness. CI and review status remain visible on the PR. No gate thresholds, timeouts, exclusions, workflows, source behavior or review policy were changed to hide findings. Neither this PR nor #1360 has been merged.

Latest follow-up

The automatic same-head rerun https://github.com/Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code/actions/runs/35475021674 also ended with advisory incomplete: extension mutation execution exceeded the unchanged 12-minute limit. It does not supersede the earlier completed report with a clean result.

All executable Code QA jobs, including Windows and Linux, now pass, as do mocked E2E, visuals, security and patch coverage. Both PRs remain open and mergeable, not merged.

CodeRabbit has now requested four follow-ups on this prerequisite: GitHub-compatible documentation anchors; stronger recovered-frame type/sequence assertions; driver and model coverage for task-sequence pruning; and rejection of multi-message delta arrays before allocation. These are open review findings and have NOT been marked resolved. The extraction is preserved as published for review. Human approval is also outstanding.

PR #1360 current head 1eec683 received CodeRabbit approval but still awaits human approval and still reports the 567-vs-500 mutation scope blocker. No gate was weakened.

6-7: 🎯 Functional Correctness

The checker already fails the command for invariant violations. checkTranscriptTransportModel() calls checkTranscriptTransportScenarios(), which throws when a scenario has a violation, and checkTranscriptTransportMutation() throws when a mutation has no expected counterexample or the violation differs from mutation.expected. The success message is therefore reached only after these checks pass. No additional result-field assertion is required.

## Ownership and protocol

[`TranscriptTransport`](../../src/core/webview/transcriptTransport.ts:274) owns captured payloads and caller resolvers. Its pure [`reduceTranscriptTransport()`](../../src/core/webview/transcriptTransport.ts:92) owns generation, task/instance-scoped job descriptors, task-keyed sequence allocation, snapshot progress, and a physical-send barrier. The driver and bounded explorer share that reducer and [`transcriptFrameMessage()`](../../src/core/webview/transcriptTransport.ts:227); the checker is not a second queue implementation.

Assert the recovered frame, not just the call.

The final enqueue is the only one expected to post. Assert the frame type and sequence so a regression that posts the wrong frame still fails.

Task-sequence pruning is never verified. forgetTask is not called by any test, and the model landmark that names the behavior is satisfied by an empty sequence map, so removing sequences.delete(action.taskId) from reduceTranscriptTransport (src/core/webview/transcriptTransport.ts Line 157) survives both harnesses. This matches the surviving CallExpression mutant at Line 157 and the NoCoverage mutant at Line 323.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

A multi-message delta silently drops every message after the first.

enqueue accepts any nonempty messages array for kind: "append" | "update". The job records total: payload.length, but the delta frame carries no range (pump sets start: 0, count: 0) and transcriptFrameMessage emits only clineMessage: messages[0] (Lines 235-240). The remaining messages never reach the wire, the sequence advances by one, and the returned promise resolves. The producer sees a successful delivery while the receiver loses the rest of the transcript until the next snapshot.

Enforce the single-message delta contract at admission, or route larger delta payloads through a snapshot.

 	enqueue(request: TranscriptRequest, messages: readonly ClineMessage[]): Promise<void> {
 		const callbacks = this.callbacks
 		if (!callbacks || this.closed) return Promise.resolve()
 		// An empty delta must not consume a sequence or enter admission at all.

In `@src/core/webview/transcriptTransport.ts` around lines 331 - 335, Update
enqueue in the transcript transport to enforce the single-message delta
contract: for non-snapshot requests, reject messages arrays containing more than
one message before admission or sequence allocation. Preserve the existing no-op
behavior for empty deltas and allow snapshots to contain multiple messages.
