Closes #10545.

What Changed

A thread stopped by a provider usage limit now reads Limited in the waiting tone instead of Failed in red, in the web sidebar and the mobile thread list, and its thread banner is a warning instead of an error. The turn still fails exactly as it does today (#8358, #10321); only the classification travels.

  • packages/contracts: usage_limit joins the runtime error class the adapters already send. OrchestrationSession gains lastErrorClass ("usage_limit" | null, optional so older payloads decode) beside lastError.
  • Server: the Claude adapter classes its usage-limit runtime.error (the parked rate-limit path, the retried-turn assistant error from fix(claude): report usage limits on retried turns #10549, and the CLI's blocking_limit terminal reason); the Codex adapter classes the one fix(codex): name the usage limit and its reset instead of relaying "out of credits" #10473 composes. Ingestion stores the class from that event and carries it through the failed turn/completed the same way it carries lastError, clearing it on the next ready. One nullable column on projection_thread_sessions with migration 050.
  • Web: resolveSidebarThreadStatus returns limited for an errored session with the class; the row label is "Limited" in the Approval amber. ThreadErrorBanner takes the class and renders the existing warning alert variant.
  • Mobile: resolveThreadListV2Status does the same; the row shows "Limited" and the reset sentence in the warning tone.
  • Docs: three lines under the thread sidebar guide.

Codex: #10473 has merged, so its limit runtime.error now carries the class too (one line), and a Codex limit stop reads as Limited the same way. Cursor, Grok, OpenCode, and Antigravity have no limit classification and keep reading as Failed. The legacy web sidebar and the v1 mobile list render no Failed label from the session, so there was nothing to mirror.

Why

The clients had no structured way to tell a quota stop from a crash: the session carried only the error text, so a scan of ten threads could not tell "this one hit the window, retry after reset" from "this one broke". String-matching the message would be the wrong path; the adapter already knows the cause when it emits the error.

UI Changes

Same thread, same seeded limit stop, before on main and after on this branch.

Before: red Failed in the sidebar and the red error banner.

Before: sidebar row reads Failed in red; the thread banner is the red error alert with the usage-limit sentence

After: amber Limited in the sidebar and the warning banner.

After: sidebar row reads Limited in amber; the thread banner is the warning alert with the same sentence

Captured in the web client with a seeded limit-stopped session (status error, the #10321 sentence, class usage_limit); the same fixture on main shows the before.

No motion, so no video. Mobile is unit-tested (status resolver) and not captured.

Verification

  • vp test run on the six touched test files, 460 tests pass: contract decodes with and without the field; ingestion sets the class from runtime.error, keeps it through the failed turn.completed, clears it on ready; the migration adds the column once; the Claude adapter classes the limit path and not a generic failure; both status resolvers return limited only with the class; a limited row does not recede in the sidebar.
  • ProjectionPipeline, ProjectionSnapshotQuery, and projector suites (76 tests) as blast radius.
  • Typecheck clean in contracts, server, web, and mobile; lint and format clean on the touched files.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes (nothing moves)

Note

Show usage-limit stops as Limited instead of Failed across provider, server, and clients

  • Adds usage_limit to the RuntimeErrorClass and OrchestrationSessionErrorClass contracts and an optional lastErrorClass field on OrchestrationSession
  • Claude and Codex adapters classify rate-limit/usage-limit failures as usage_limit instead of provider_error in runtime.error events
  • Provider ingestion preserves lastErrorClass through a failed turn and clears it when the session becomes ready or interrupted; projection pipeline persists and queries the new column
  • Web sidebar, mobile thread rows, and ThreadErrorBanner render Limited status with warning styling instead of Failed
  • Risk: migration 050 adds nullable last_error_class to projection_thread_sessions; old payloads decode with undefined lastErrorClass so existing consumers must tolerate the missing field

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces an automatically triggered Limited state across provider classification, persisted session data, web UI, and mobile UI. Although the schema change is backward-compatible and tests are included, the cross-cutting production behavior warrants human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change classifies provider usage-limit errors, carries the classification through session persistence and snapshots, and renders affected threads as Limited with warning styling in web and mobile clients.

Changes

Usage-limit status flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Error classification contracts and provider events
packages/contracts/src/..., apps/server/src/provider/...
Runtime and session contracts accept usage_limit. Claude and Codex adapters emit this class for usage-limit failures.
Session ingestion and persistence
apps/server/src/orchestration/..., apps/server/src/persistence/...
Session updates carry lastErrorClass. Projection queries persist and return it. Migration 050 adds a nullable last_error_class column.
Snapshot and runtime propagation
apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/ProjectionSnapshotQuery.ts
Session queries and snapshot assembly expose non-null error classifications.
Web and mobile limited status rendering
apps/web/src/components/..., apps/mobile/src/features/threads/..., docs/user/thread-sidebar.md
Web and mobile status resolution maps usage-limit errors to limited. Rows, banners, and messages use warning styling. Sidebar layout and input styling also change.
Compatibility validation
packages/contracts/src/orchestration.test.ts, apps/server/src/.../*.test.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/threadListV2.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.logic.test.ts
Tests verify classification, persistence, migration behavior, client status resolution, and compatibility with sessions that omit the optional field.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0180a

Usage-limit failures are now classified as Limited for Codex, but limited threads may still have inconsistent sidebar error presentation and incomplete Claude retry-path coverage. The remaining impact is limited to status messaging and presentation.

Rebased onto main with #10549: the class now covers the retried-turn path as well, via rejectedRateLimitTypes.size > 0 || latestAssistantRateLimited, so every turn that ends with the usage-limit sentence reads as Limited.

Assert the runtime error class in the new fallback cases.

Line 2458 verifies only the error message. Lines 2505-2508 have the same gap. A regression can emit provider_error with the correct usage-limit text, and these tests will pass while clients display Failed instead of Limited.

Add an expected class for each case. Assert usage_limit for limited turns and provider_error after recovery.

Proposed test assertion

   // ...
   assert.equal(errors.length, 1);
   assert.equal(errors[0]?.payload.message, expected);
+  assert.equal(errors[0]?.payload.class, expectedClass);

A thread stopped because the account is out of quota read as broken:
the session carried only the error text, so both clients labelled it
Failed in red. The adapters now class the limit error, the session keeps
that class beside the message, and the sidebar, the mobile list, and the
thread banner show it as Limited in the waiting tone.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A newer local error shown in place of the session error is an ordinary
failure, so it must not inherit the usage-limit tone.
…error

An interrupted session drops lastError, so it must drop lastErrorClass
too or an aborted thread would read as Limited.

Render usage-limit tooltip state as a warning.

A limited thread still has session.lastError, so this tooltip always shows a red “Error occurred” entry. This conflicts with the new amber Limited status. Resolve the sidebar status here and use warning styling and copy for limited.
