Fixes #15611. Also reported in #15717.

Problem

If a turn finishes while you're editing a queued message, T3 can send the original text before you save.

Fix

The server holds that message until Save or Cancel. Save sends the revised text; Cancel keeps the original. Neither interrupts the current turn or resumes a queue paused by Stop or a restart.

Queue order is preserved, stale editors cannot overwrite newer edits, and waiting on an edit no longer keeps the thread showing Working/Thinking. Web, desktop, and mobile use the same commands.

The author withdrew the overlapping draft-protection fix in #15911 in favor of this PR. Maintainer review is still pending.

After

Testing

Regression coverage includes dispatch during editing, Save/Cancel, queue order, stale edits, existing queue pauses, and completion status.

On 7e2d55741, all CI build, lint, typecheck, and test jobs passed. The two repaired suites also passed locally (37 tests):

pnpm exec vp test run packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.test.ts apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/QueuedRunEditing.test.ts --maxWorkers=1

Manually tested on Windows: leave an edit unsaved while the response finishes, then save and receive the revised response. Minimizing and returning also preserves the edit. Full app-close/reopen and native mobile flows have not been manually tested.

Walkthrough

Queued-message editing now creates a server-side edit hold. The server keeps an edited run in its queue until the edit is saved or canceled. Web and mobile clients send edit IDs, track edit ownership, and show which queued runs are being edited.

Changes

Queued message editing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Edit commands and runtime ownership
packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/*
The contract and client runtime add begin and cancel commands, track thread-state sequence numbers, and determine whether an edit is pending, owned, or lost. Save commands can include an edit ID.
Server edit lease and queue dispatch
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/OrchestratorScenario.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/QueuedRunEditing.test.ts
The server records and validates edit IDs, blocks dispatch and steering for edited runs, and attempts queue startup after edit completion. Tests cover saves, cancels, stale IDs, queue pauses, and dispatch timing.
Held queue position and presentation
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.test.ts, packages/shared/src/orchestrationV2ThreadError.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/threadExecution.test.ts
Queue-position and latest-run calculations account for edit-held runs. Tests cover shell projections and runtime status.
Web and mobile edit flows
apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/QueuedRunsControl.tsx, apps/web/src/state/entities.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadQueueControl.tsx, apps/mobile/src/state/*, docs/user/composer.md
Web and mobile clients begin, save, and cancel edits with edit IDs. They preserve existing draft content, respond to lost ownership, display editing status, and prevent steering of edited runs. The composer guidance describes edit holds.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f8c94

Queued messages are now held on the server while they are edited, and the earlier stale-editor problem is fixed on web and mobile. The browser reopen race fix has not been re-tested by the reviewer, so retest it before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to f8c94

The change prevents queued messages from executing during an edit and rejects stale saves. Existing access controls remain in place, and abandoned edits can be reopened. Full app-close recovery and downgrade compatibility remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — One accepted hold affects an eligible queued user message and the later queue positions in its thread. Repeated commands can affect multiple threads available to an environment session with orchestration-operate authority. The downstream outcome is delaying or releasing existing provider runs, not granting additional provider privileges.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new commands traverse the pre-existing authenticated WebSocket dispatch boundary. Session scope middleware requires orchestration-operate authority before dispatch; knowing an edit token does not replace this permission. Server checks additionally restrict edits to queued user messages in the named thread and reject automatic completion and notification messages.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Loss of in-memory editor metadata does not make a persisted hold irrecoverable: web and mobile reopen using the current projected edit ID, acquire a replacement token, and can then save or cancel. The documented recovery action is to reopen the queued message. Removing the queued run transitions it to cancelled, so its retained metadata no longer represents an executable queued hold.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define a hold-aware downgrade procedure and validate it with persisted active edits. Before reverting to a server that lacks hold enforcement, explicitly resolve or remove affected queued messages rather than relying on the unchanged protocol version to preserve the no-dispatch guarantee.

🟡 Minor · Reconcile a lost queued-run edit lease. · use-thread-composer-state.ts:472-492

apps/mobile/src/state/use-thread-composer-state.ts:472-492
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reconcile a lost queued-run edit lease.

When another client clears queueEditId while the run remains queued, the cleanup effect keeps the mobile edit active because it checks only run.status. The visible cancel action then sends the stale edit.editId. The server rejects that ID, and the callback does not exit edit mode for the failure.

Compare the local edit ID with queueEditId in the effect and treat a null lease as lost. Apply the same check before sending cancellation.

Retested head c416057b2081d5c6eafeca20a6249ac01d833b9e as a clean automatic integration with main c77a7b7eebd6ea8a3a63bbcaaa7c1707fe65c86e.

The server typecheck still fails at apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/QueuedRunEditing.test.ts:19:

error TS2307: Cannot find module './ProviderAdapter.ts' or its corresponding type declarations.

Reproduction: run vp exec tsc --noEmit in apps/server. Clean main passes the same command. This matches the latest CI Typecheck failure (job 114013144375). Please update the test's adapter type import to the current provider-core API and rerun the server typecheck.

The 93 focused queue-edit, mobile draft, shared execution/command, and web draft tests passed on this integration. Web, mobile, contracts, and client-runtime typechecks also passed. The earlier stale-edit lease guard is present on both web and mobile; this comment concerns the remaining typecheck failure, not that resolved finding.

Browser reproduction: reopening a held message loses its editor

On the same integration, I reproduced a separate client failure in Linux Chromium using an isolated thread seeded with two held queued messages. Clicking the first message's pencil acquires a new edit lease, but the composer immediately becomes blank. The queue row says "Editing", with no Update or Cancel controls.

beginEditingQueuedRun sets local edit state after the command returns. The reconciliation effect in ChatView.tsx then sees the previous edit ID in serverProjection and clears the new editor before the projection catches up. A temporary console-only diagnostic captured different projected and local lease IDs while the run was still queued. After two render frames, there were zero Update buttons, zero Cancel buttons, and an empty composer. The diagnostic was removed afterward.

Expected: reopening the held message keeps its editor and Update/Cancel controls available. Please handle the projection lag when acquiring the lease and add a regression test for that ordering. This is a new acquisition race, distinct from the previously resolved stale-editor finding. The 93 passing focused tests do not cover this browser behavior.

@shivamhwp thanks for catching both. Fixed in bacd935, with the mobile test mock updated in f8c9469.

The editor now keeps the acquisition receipt sequence and waits for the thread projection to catch up before checking ownership. Both clients use the same check, including immediate Cancel. A newer projection still closes an editor whose hold was cleared or taken over.

The provider test now uses the current provider-core API. The server typecheck passes locally, 111 focused client tests passed, and CI is green on f8c9469. Removing the sequence guard made both acquisition regressions fail; restoring it passed.

Hi! We are cleaning up open PRs, and this one does not say which model or harness was used to create it. If this change is really important, we recommend rebuilding the PR with a newer model and noting the model and harness in the PR description.

If the active turn finishes while a queued message is being edited, the
original text can start before Save. Import [upstream
pingdotgg#15612](pingdotgg#15612) to acquire a
server edit hold before opening the editor, keeping queue order until
Save or Cancel.

Web, desktop, and mobile share the hold commands. Stale editors cannot
overwrite a newer edit, and existing Stop/restart pauses remain held.
Includes upstream regression tests and a fork surface assertion for the
Editing indicator.

Validation: draft push gate passed changed-file checks and workspace
typecheck. Integrated browser verification passed edit hold acquisition,
ending the active preparing run while editing (original stayed queued),
Save dispatching revised text, Cancel keeping original text, reopening
the editor, and Save/Cancel preserving a paused queue. Provider
execution was unavailable in the isolated environment; orchestration
regression tests cover provider turn completion. The full publish gate
passed workspace lint/format, typecheck, and tests, including 6,330
server tests. Published through `pnpm pr:ready`; required GitHub checks
are pending. Native mobile verification is unavailable because Device
support is off; desktop uses the verified web flow without shell
changes.
