fix(server): stop provider sessions after thread archive

[kvnloo]

Fixes #14203.

A thread.session-stop-requested event can sit behind a slow provider stop while a later archive command has already removed that thread from the active shell projection. The reactor currently returns early when getThreadShellById() is empty, so the live provider process is never stopped.

Fix

Treat ProviderService.listSessions() as the runtime authority for stop:

• look up the active provider session by thread id even when the active UI shell is gone
• stop whenever a runtime session still exists
• preserve provider instance/runtime metadata from the runtime session when the shell is unavailable
• persist stopped back onto the archived thread

If neither an active shell nor runtime session exists, the existing no-op behavior remains.

Regression

The new reactor test reproduces the deterministic order from #14203:

1. ready projected + live provider session
2. thread.archive
3. active shell is confirmed absent
4. thread.session.stop
5. provider stopSession is still called, runtime session is removed, archived projection records stopped

This stays inside the existing serialized reactor; no new teardown concurrency is introduced.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Provider sessions can now be stopped after their thread has been archived and is no longer active. When a session is stopped, the archived thread records its stopped state so its displayed status stays consistent. If the thread or session is unavailable, the stop request is safely ignored rather than affecting unrelated sessions.

Approvability

Verdict: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused server bug fix with a targeted regression test, extending existing provider-session cleanup to archived threads without changing schemas, defaults, or deployment behavior. An unresolved high-severity finding identifies a failure mode where global session inventory errors can still prevent cleanup.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The session stop handler now resolves archived threads from the archived shell snapshot when the active projection has no thread. It stops a projected session that is not already stopped and records the stopped session in the archived snapshot. A regression test checks this path without querying global provider inventory.

Changes

Archived session stop

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve, stop, and record session state apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/ProviderCommandReactor.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/ProviderCommandReactor.test.ts	The handler falls back to the archived shell snapshot when the active thread lookup misses. It uses the resolved thread ID for stop-state and failure handling, stops a projected session that is not already stopped, and records its provider details in the stopped session. The regression test verifies the archived-session path and confirms that global provider session listing is not called.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 29649

Stopping archived threads now works through the archived snapshot. A failed archive lookup is silently ignored, which leaves the provider process running, and the lookup is heavier than needed. Neither is likely to block merge.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 29649

The change improves cleanup after archiving while preserving per-thread provider routing. No introduced security vulnerability was established. Interrupted teardown, recovery, and disagreement between saved state and running sessions remain incompletely verified.

No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — Each inspected stop invocation targets the provider session bound to one event thread ID. The PR expands lifecycle reachability to archived threads, but does not add caller-selected adapter authority or fleet-wide teardown. Tenant and environment exposure cannot be determined from this scoped evidence.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — ProviderService validates stop input, requires a persisted provider binding, selects its registered adapter, and disables runtime recovery for stopping. Archived projection metadata is not substituted for that binding. This establishes the internal routing control, not upstream caller authorization.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — For a valid binding with an absent runtime session, ProviderService skips adapter teardown and can continue cleanup. Codex stopping also returns when its session is absent. Its internal teardown marks the session stopped and removes it before closing runtime resources, so repeated-call tolerance does not by itself prove recovery after interruption during resource closure.

- Around line 1723-1752: Move the `providerService.listSessions()` lookup in the
stop-event handler into the effect passed to `Effect.matchCauseEffect`, so
lookup failures trigger the existing stop-failure handling and recovery. Keep
the no-thread/no-active-session early return inside that boundary, and preserve
the existing success behavior by carrying the active session through to the
`onSuccess` callback.

1729-1735: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Archived snapshot lookup loads the full archive on every miss.

getArchivedShellSnapshot() runs six queries in one transaction. It also resolves repository identities for all archived projects. The handler uses this query only to find one thread by ID. A stop for a thread that is neither active nor archived (for example, a deleted thread) pays the full cost. The cost grows with the number of archived threads.

A narrower lookup by thread ID would reduce this. This is not blocking, because stop requests are infrequent.

Also, Effect.orElseSucceed(() => undefined) hides lookup failures without a log. A failed lookup then causes a silent no-op, and the provider process stays running. Log a warning before you fall back.

Proposed change

Note

This comment is posted by Julius' dot

The regression is present, but the PR supplies no executed check or result for the current archived-projection implementation; current-head checks only cover labels. Closing under verification. Run the focused reactor regression and report that stop-after-archive removes the live session and records the stopped state, then request reconsideration. Please also update the description, which still says the fix uses global session inventory.
