fix(task): recover completed tool turn continuation

[jaszhix]

Related GitHub Issue

Closes: #1883

Description

The task loop currently waits on userMessageContentReady, a one-shot presenter latch. If that latch update is lost after the stream has ended and all tool results are already complete, the task stays active without starting the next API request.

This change adds two narrow safeguards:

• presentAssistantMessage releases its dispatch lock in finally, so a rejected provider-state read or tool handler cannot permanently strand later presentation work.
• The task wait can also derive terminal tool-turn readiness from protocol state. It continues only when the stream is complete, presentation is idle, every assistant block is final, at least one tool call exists, and every tool call ID has a matching sanitized tool_result.

The existing readiness latch remains the normal path. The derived check does not add a timeout, replay a request, or synthesize a tool result.

Reviewer focus:

• The derived condition should remain narrow enough that it cannot advance while a tool is partial, executing, or missing its result.
• It intentionally does not require the presenter index to reach the end: non-abort presenter failures are currently logged without scheduling another pass, so an index gate would recreate an indefinite wait.
• The recursive presenter calls use return await so the outer finally does not release the lock while a nested presenter is still running.

This aligns with the Reliability First roadmap goal by preventing completed tool work from silently corrupting the next model turn.

Test Procedure

Targeted regression tests:

pnpm --dir src exec vitest run \
  core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts \
  core/assistant-message/__tests__/presentAssistantMessage-custom-tool.spec.ts \
  -t 'continues after a complete read_file result|releases the presentation lock'

This command runs only the two new regression cases:

• On untouched current main, the completed read_file case makes only one API request instead of two, and the presenter-error case leaves its lock set.
• With this patch, both cases pass: the next API request starts and the presenter lock is released after an exception.

Relevant suites:

pnpm --dir src exec vitest run \
  core/assistant-message/__tests__ \
  core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts \
  core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts

pnpm --dir src exec eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 \
  core/task/Task.ts \
  core/assistant-message/presentAssistantMessage.ts \
  core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts \
  core/assistant-message/__tests__/presentAssistantMessage-custom-tool.spec.ts

pnpm --dir src exec tsc --noEmit
pnpm lifecycle:model-check
pnpm --dir src bundle
pnpm --dir src test

Results:

• Original regression cases: 2 passed.
• Review follow-up cases: 5 passed.
• Relevant suites: 316 passed.
• Changed-file ESLint: passed with no suppression increase.
• TypeScript: passed.
• Lifecycle/model checks: passed.
• Full extension suite: 502 test files passed, 4 skipped; 9,457 tests passed, 39 skipped.

Manual canary: a private VSIX carrying the same patch has so far crossed several points that previously produced the stall. The symptom is intermittent, so this is supporting evidence rather than a completeness claim.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • The next request can proceed when all tool results for the current turn are complete, even if a separate readiness signal is missing. Sanitized tool-result IDs are matched correctly; incomplete results and aborted operations do not trigger another request.
  • Updates queued during presentation are processed when possible, and processing stops if the operation is aborted. The presentation lock is released after processing completes or fails, and errors continue to propagate.

Walkthrough

The presenter drains pending updates while it holds the presentation lock, then releases the lock when processing completes or rejects. The task can proceed to another API request when the stream is complete and tool results match completed tool calls.

Changes

Tool-result continuation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Presenter update draining and lock lifecycle src/core/assistant-message/presentAssistantMessage.ts, src/core/assistant-message/__tests__/presentAssistantMessage-custom-tool.spec.ts	The outer presenter drains pending updates while the task is not aborted and releases the presentation lock in a finally block. Tests cover handoff, overlapping calls, partial blocks, aborts, and errors.
Tool-result readiness and continuation src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts	A readiness check requires a completed stream, an unlocked presenter, final assistant blocks, and at least one tool call with a matching sanitized result ID. The request loop accepts this state as a readiness condition. Tests cover readiness and continuation when the readiness flag remains false, including presenter errors and aborts.

Systems and components

• observed — src (service) was modified; 4 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in src/core/assistant-message/tests/presentAssistantMessage-custom-tool.spec.ts: Adds a test where provider-state retrieval rejects with "provider state failed" during dispatch of a read_file call; it expects presentAssistantMessage to reject with that error and the presentation lock to be released.
• observed — Modified behavior in src/core/assistant-message/presentAssistantMessage.ts: presentAssistantMessage now awaits the extracted block processor inside try/finally, ensuring the presentation lock is cleared when processing completes or rejects. The new private helper contains the former block-processing logic.
• observed — Modified behavior in src/core/assistant-message/presentAssistantMessage.ts: The recursive call for an available next block now uses return await instead of directly returning the promise.
• observed — Modified behavior in src/core/assistant-message/presentAssistantMessage.ts: The recursive call to process pending updates now uses return await instead of directly returning the promise.
