fix(client-runtime): retry messages after socket loss with the same command ID - #24761
A web or desktop message sent as its socket closes loses its optimistic row and returns to the composer. If the server already accepted it, resending from the composer allocates a different command ID and can duplicate the message. Reproduced on current main by dropping an existing thread's first message.dispatch frame.
Change
Keep the in-flight message dispatch pending across socket loss, then resend the identical command on the replacement session. The existing server command receipt deduplicates a lost acknowledgment. Retry only message dispatches, with at most two resends; terminal rejections and exhausted retries retain draft restoration. No persisted outbox or wire contract changes.
Triaged bug via the automated issue flow. Scope is an existing thread's in-flight message dispatch; already-offline sends, initial bootstrap launches, and guest-message resolution are unchanged.
Verification
Red regression test on base c79ef8c454: expected two dispatches with the same command ID, received one. Other 14 tests passed.
Head 27039417731e85cc54026b1b960df4e9a08e0ad4: vp test run src/operations/commands.test.ts passes 16/16, including retry and three-attempt limit. Package typecheck, targeted lint, and formatting passed.
Real Chromium/Linux app, isolated dev server, Codex provider: pre-delivery loss retries twice total with identical payload; lost acknowledgment produces two wire attempts and exactly one durable message, completed run, provider attempt, and accepted receipt. Third-attempt success, exhausted retries, and typed business rejection were also exercised.
Lost acknowledgment recording. Steps, timing, exact IDs, and database counts are in the index and per-row logs. Head captures cover CSS 1440×900 and 390×844, light/dark; desktop PNG output was 1280×800 despite the requested CSS viewport, narrow output DPR 2. These compare behavior, not CSS: draft versus submitted bubble/reply, timeline history/scroll, timestamps, branch labels, diff summaries, and sidebar recency differ. No rendering code changed. Later stale-Vite baseline attempts were excluded; the first baseline lacks a served-module hash.
Unverified: steer/restart, Resume, compaction, plan implementation, app-origin send and cancellation fiber; native mobile, Electron/macOS, and remote/relay/T3 Connect. No claim of complete matrix coverage. A never-reconnecting environment leaves the command pending until interruption; no new Cancel control is added. CI, bot findings, and proof completion remain gates before applying bugfix.
Proof audit pass 2 returned INSUFFICIENT: retake the baseline with served-source provenance and the pre-delivery head recordings through settled controls; add timestamped scenario/SHA annotations to silent recordings. Attachment-bearing retry/no-reupload, cancellation and specialized callers remain unproved. The independent auditor reproduced stable-ID recovery and one persisted message/run/provider attempt: trace.

A message.dispatch whose socket closes before acknowledgment is dropped
instead of retried with the same commandId after reconnect.

…er reconnect
A message.dispatch whose socket closed before the server answered failed
outright, so web removed the optimistic message and restored the composer
even when the server had already saved it. Transport failures now wait for
the next session and resend with the same commandId, which the server's
command receipt dedups. Resends are bounded so a frame that itself kills
the socket cannot loop across reconnects.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Message sends now automatically wait for reconnect and retry with the same command ID, while the mobile outbox opts out. This changes default delivery behavior, and an unresolved review concern identifies sends potentially waiting indefinitely on non-socket RPC failures.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
Handoff from #24722. I reproduced the lost-acknowledgement path in the macOS desktop app at baseline 8f26ed7e27: forward the send, suppress its acknowledgement and close the socket. The optimistic message disappears and its draft returns; resync reveals the accepted message alongside the duplicate draft. This injects socket loss and does not establish the original server-load/T3 Connect cause.
On shiv, macOS 27.0.1 arm64, Electron 44.9.3, I tested our isolated desktop development build at 2c7b767339 with synthetic messages and PNG uploads:
Lost acknowledgements for a new-thread launch and an existing-thread follow-up recover to one message each, with an empty composer. Switching away and back while waiting preserves the image preview.
Withhold a queued send before delivery, type a newer draft, then Cancel. The queue entry disappears and the original text/image return alongside the newer typing. This went through the real composer hook.
Our final 03fc6a26f0 differs from that native build only in browser-test cleanup. vp run check:changed passed with 172 tests in 10 files, 33 package typechecks, format, lint and knip. Boat job j_sevw6s7wrdiwpmsqpbxf, stage changed-checks, machine default, sandbox bx_7n42pjzc, attempt 1, exit 0; artifacts out/check-changed.log and out/result.json. GitHub required checks also passed on that commit.
Useful regression cases from review: synchronous observer cleanup, acknowledgement before projection after navigation, retained attachment overflow, restoration after draft promotion, terminal-context ID deduplication, deleted-launch IDs, and cancellation of uncertain queued sends. Thread creation and first-message acceptance are separate writes; shell presence alone cannot prove message delivery.
Unverified: your #24761 build, Windows/mobile runtime, plan-follow-up UI, native overflow/context restoration, and the original Connect/load incident. All our test apps, servers and temporary files were cleaned up. Stopping work here; testing is yours.
Message dispatch can retry eligible transport failures after supervisor recovery, using the same command ID and allowing up to two resends. Callers can disable retries. Both start-turn dispatch paths use the helper, and mobile outbox requests disable automatic retries.

Summary
Retry after session change packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.ts
StartThreadTurnInput adds resendAfterSocketLoss, which defaults to true. dispatchMessage retries interruption-only causes or causes containing an RPC client error, up to two resends. It returns the original failure for other causes or when supervisor state becomes available or blocked without a replacement session.
Dispatch integration and caller behavior packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.test.ts, apps/mobile/src/state/threadOutboxDelivery.ts
Both startThreadTurn dispatch paths use dispatchMessage. The start payload includes manualContinuationOfRunId. Mobile outbox requests set resendAfterSocketLoss to false. Tests cover successful retry, retry exhaustion, and opted-in versus opted-out behavior.

A message send can stay pending indefinitely on a healthy connection if the failure is not a real socket loss. It can also fail early if the replacement connection drops just before the resend. Tighten the retry classification, and keep waiting when a resend finds no session, before merging.

Explanation
The changes stay connected to issue #24659. commands.ts adds bounded same-commandId retry handling for message.dispatch. The tests verify transport-loss retry behavior. The mobile outbox opts out because it has its own delivery queue. No persisted web or desktop outbox, unrelated product area, or wire contract change is shown.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #24659 requires a pending dispatch to reconcile after reconnect and resync. If the resynced thread already contains the pending messageId, the client must drop the pending entry without another dispatch. The current dispatchMessage implementation retries the same command after session changes and limits retries, but it does not inspect resynced thread state or reconcile messageId. The added tests cover same-commandId retries, interruption handling, the retry limit, and opt-out behavior. They do not cover message-present reconciliation.
Resolution
Add resync reconciliation for pending message dispatches. Remove a pending entry when the target thread contains its messageId, and do not resend that command. Add an automated test for this case.

Retry only errors that indicate socket loss.
isRpcClientError also accepts RpcClientDefect, which can represent a decoding or protocol failure while the session remains connected. In that case, this helper waits for a different session indefinitely instead of returning the terminal error and restoring the draft. Classify result.failure.reason before waiting. The tests use RpcClientDefect to simulate a socket close, so they do not exercise a socket-specific classification. (effect.website)

Keep waiting when the replacement session closes before the resend.
After Stream.runHead returns session B, dispatchMessage reads the session again. If B has closed by then, that read returns None. The resend then calls dispatch(command). requestGuarded reads the session at call time and fails with EnvironmentRpcUnavailableError. That error is not an RpcClientError, so the helper returns it immediately. The send fails and the draft is restored, even though no resend was sent and a later session could reconnect.
Allow the wait to continue when the failure happens on a resend. Keep the first attempt unchanged, so an already-offline send still fails at once. A resend that finds no session uses one of the two resends.

A test that closes session B before the resend would cover this path.

…t stays down
Bound the wait for a replacement session so a long outage fails the send
with the original error, restoring the draft as on main. The mobile outbox
already retries on its own and holds one slot across environments, so its
sends opt out of the resend.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
…ad of a timer
A 15 second deadline gave the message back while the supervisor was still
reconnecting, so resubmitting the restored draft could duplicate a message
the server already committed. Keep the command pending until a replacement
session arrives, and give it back only when the supervisor stops trying:
the user disconnected or the connection is blocked.
