perf(acp): long ACP threads reopen without per-chunk history copies - #23724
When an ACP thread is reopened or resumed, the agent replays its history through session/load, one session/update chunk at a time. Each replayed chunk copied the adapter's whole message Map and scanned the order array with includes. The work per chunk grows with the number of messages already loaded, so total replay work grows with the square of the history length. Live turns did the same copy once per completed message in rememberSnapshotMessage.
On main, reopening a 5,000-message OpenCode thread writes about 12.5 million Map entries.
Change
packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts:
appendLoadedHistory and rememberSnapshotMessage now update the snapshot's messages Map and order array in place. They check membership with messages.has (or the get they already do) instead of order.includes. order and messages are always written together, so the two checks agree.
The snapshot state belongs to one adapter session. Session resume, snapshot load, runtime restart and rollback replace it with a fresh Map and array. The only reader, readThreadSnapshot, copies the messages into a new array. The copy now happens right after Ref.get, before the next yield*, so a read still returns the state as of that moment and later chunks cannot change it.
Message objects are still replaced on each chunk, never mutated, so arrays returned by earlier reads keep their old values.
There is no change to message ids, order, text or timestamps.
Scope and approval
This is a small, focused performance fix in one adapter path, with no setting, protocol or UI change. No issue was filed. I searched open and closed PRs for this fix and found none.
Verification
Reopening a long thread no longer copies history per chunk. Same steps on main0f13d2c and on head c297754: a test server named "Test machine" running the real opencode acp 1.19.5 as a local ACP provider, with a local scripted model and no account. OpenCode held synthetic sessions of 500, 2,000 and 5,000 one-chunk messages. In T3's Browser panel I imported each one (Settings › Providers › Native sessions), opened it, typed one message and pressed Enter, so T3 calls session/load and replays the history. A preload counted Map.set calls storing a conversation message in the server, copies included:
$ grep -h "after reopen turn" counter-main.log counter-head.log | grep -v ": 0$" | sed -E "s/ after reopen turn \[.*\]: conversation-message Map.set calls since last read:/:/"
main 500 (C): 126253
main 2000 (A): 2005003
main 5000 (A): 12507501
head 500 (B): 502
head 2000 (B): 2002
head 5000 (B): 5001
T3's provider log of OpenCode's session/load for the 5,000-message reopens (one run each, no timing claim):
native-main-5000.txt
2026-11-11T04:29:35.171Z session/load started
2026-11-11T04:29:37.246Z session/load succeeded

2026-11-11T04:32:06.827Z session/load started
2026-11-11T04:32:08.401Z session/load succeeded
Output is unchanged. "replays history in order, with stable earlier snapshots" in AcpAdapterV2.test.ts passes on head (Tests 101 passed (101)). With a local mutant that updates the previous message object in place, it fails on head (excerpt of the failure diff):
- "user:next",
+ "user:next one",
This is server-only. Users see the same history after less replay work, so there are no UI screenshots.
Not checked: an agent that replays many chunks per message, a real thread past 5,000 messages, and other hosts.
Prior PRs: #21992 by Julius Marminge (@juliusmarminge) made appendLoadedHistory untraced to avoid a span per chunk. This PR keeps that and removes the remaining per-chunk copy. #21971 by Julius Marminge and #22155 by Victor Vogel (@only21mil) work on history hydration and import through the same snapshot but do not change these lines.
session/load replays history one chunk at a time. Each chunk copied the
whole message Map and scanned the order array, so replay cost grew with
the square of the history length. Update the adapter-owned Map and array
in place, test membership with the Map, and copy messages out before
readThreadSnapshot yields.

The replay test now also streams 500 one-chunk messages and counts
Map.prototype.set calls. Base copies the whole history Map per chunk
and makes about 126,000 writes; this branch makes one per chunk. The
snapshot state comment now names every writer, not only replay.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The ACP adapter now updates snapshot message collections in place and builds the ordered message list before returning a snapshot. A replay test checks message ordering and confirms that later updates do not change an earlier snapshot.
Snapshot update paths append unseen keys to the existing order array and set messages in the existing map.
Snapshot reads and replay validation packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts
Snapshot reads build the ordered message list before returning it. The replay test checks interleaved message ordering and verifies that an earlier snapshot remains unchanged.

Merged current main into this branch in acc79aa to clear the conflict. Only the test file's imports conflicted. adapter.ts merged cleanly, and the in-place snapshot update now runs on main's newer appendLoadedHistory, including its replace mode and the thought role. Main does not cover any part of this change, so nothing was dropped.
After the merge, the replay test still fails with main's adapter.ts (127,250 Map writes for 500 chunks) and passes with this branch's. AcpAdapterV2.test.ts passes 101 of 101.
I also timed a full reopen end to end. The repo's mock ACP agent runs as a subprocess and replays a long history over stdio on session/load, and readThreadSnapshot reads the result. Median of 5 reopens, same machine and harness:

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Scope the Map.prototype.set spy to the adapter replay only.
The spy counts every Map.prototype.set call in the process during the replay. That includes Map writes in the Effect runtime, the mock runtime, and the ID allocator. The assertion mapWrites < longHistory * 2 can therefore fail from unrelated Map writes, for example if the runtime or logging adds a Map.set per chunk. The test depends on the budget of 2 writes per chunk, which leaves little room.
Keep the check, but confirm that the base-commit count of 127,250 and the branch count leave a stable margin. If the margin is small, assert a looser bound that still separates linear from quadratic growth. One option is to compare the write count at 250 chunks against the count at 500 chunks.
The guideline also forbids polling and wall-clock waits. This test uses neither, so it complies.

Merged current main with a merge commit (no rebase).
Per merge review, removed the Map.prototype.set spy block from the new AcpAdapterV2.test.ts case (the 500-message replay, its snapshot read, and both asserts) and the added vi import. The ordering and stable-earlier-snapshot assertions stay. The adapter change is untouched.
vp run check:changed and AcpAdapterV2.test.ts (101 tests) pass.
Earlier verification (by gpt-6.1-sol, on head acc79aa229)
Verified in a real dev environment
verified exact head acc79aa229f95275eabc16e2a76b86219bb54ca0 against github/main at d756fed7aa. no source changes were needed.
ran the real dev app in chrome using the repo's playwright dependency. created a git project and conversations through the app, added a local codex acp provider, and ran real gpt-6.1-sol turns through the vm's proxy. no mock provider, seeded transcript, or demo data.
used the command palette's "restart agent session" action and continued the conversation. a debugger attached to the running server, without source edits, observed main replaying 27 history messages through new Map(current.messages), copying 351 existing entries. the pr replayed 30 history messages through the direct Map.set update. live completions also reached the changed direct-update path. these are operation counts from the real provider path; they are not a latency benchmark.
after pr resume and a live follow-up, all 30 baseline messages retained their ids, roles, text, creation timestamps, and order. the agent remembered the original token after restart (ACP-11 cedar-23724) and during another live turn (ACP-12 cedar-23724). shell tools and streaming completed. the separate native codex provider also completed a real follow-up (PR-NATIVE-CODEX-OK).
all 101 tests in AcpAdapterV2.test.ts passed through blacksmith-check. github checks are green. command transcript.

the same conversation reopened on the exact pr head:
Not verified
large-history latency or thousands of real messages; the runtime replay here contained 27 to 30 messages. no wall-clock speedup claim. native desktop, ios/android, macos/windows, remote/relay/tunnel connections, real-client rollback, and other acp agents were not exercised. acp verification used codex-acp 0.16.0; version 2.6.0 could not create a test session through t3's probe on main, so it was not used for the comparison.
