Problem

If a Codex thread's native session was archived outside T3 Code (for example from the Codex CLI or app sharing the same Codex home), restoring a checkpoint on that thread fails. This happens after a server restart or idle release, when the thread is not loaded in the app-server. The whole restore errors with ProviderAdapterRollbackThreadError: … session <id> is archived. Run codex unarchive <id> to unarchive it first., and files are not restored either. Sending a new message on the same thread works, because normal resume already handles this case (#15389).

Rollback has to resume an unloaded thread before thread/revert, and that thread/resume call had no archived-session fallback.

Change

The existing recovery in resumeThread (match the archived error, call thread/unarchive, retry the identical resume once) now lives in one closure helper, resumeNativeThread. rollbackThread uses it too. resumeThread behaves the same as before.

Scope and approval

Very small, focused fix for an obvious bug, so no prior issue: two Codex adapter paths send the same thread/resume, and only one handles the archived-session error. The fix reuses the recovery from #15389 unchanged.

Overlap search: the local PR index and gh search prs for "codex rollback archived" and "unarchive codex" found nothing. Open Codex adapter PRs #25863, #24538 and #28802 don't touch these lines. #15389 (merged) fixed only the normal resume path.

Verification

• Checked against real codex app-server (codex-cli 0.160) in an isolated CODEX_HOME with no model calls. After thread/archive, a fresh app-server returns thread/read → historyMode: "paginated", status: notLoaded, and thread/resume → session … is archived. Run codex unarchive … first. That is exactly the rollback branch.
• New test CodexAdapterV2.test.ts › "unarchives an unloaded Codex thread before rolling it back". On main it fails with Caused by: CodexAppServerRequestError: session archived-rollback-thread is archived. With the fix it passes.
• vp test run src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.test.ts: 134/134 pass, including the existing fix(codex): resume archived native sessions #15389 archived-resume table.
• vp run check:changed: all pass (format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests).
• Not checked: a full checkpoint restore through a running dev server with a real archived Codex session.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 51c61c4

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Checkpoint restoration now uses the existing unarchive-and-retry behavior when Codex refuses to resume an archived session. Recovery is limited to the selected thread and archive-specific errors, with existing rollback safeguards unchanged.

Walkthrough

The Codex adapter now unarchives a native thread and retries resume when the resume request reports an archived session. A replay test covers this recovery when rollback resumes an unloaded thread.

Changes: Codex archived-thread recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resume and rollback recovery apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.test.ts	A shared helper unarchives and retries resume for matching archived-session errors. resumeThread and unloaded-thread rollback use the helper. The replay test checks the resulting native thread ID and conversation head.

Give resumeNativeThread a named span.

This reusable helper performs the resume and unarchive requests without its own operation span. A named span lets traces distinguish archived-session recovery from the enclosing resume or rollback operation. Wrap the helper with Effect.fn("CodexAdapterV2.resumeNativeThread").

As per coding guidelines, “Reusable functions use Effect.fn("Service.operation").” As per path instructions, “Reusable Effect functions should use named Effect.fn spans.”

Verified in a real dev environment

Verified unchanged head f550fb86c18176db79cfbab554cafbc2c77600da on Linux with Playwright, /usr/bin/google-chrome, codex-cli 0.164.0 and real gpt-6.1-sol turns through the web client and local provider proxy. No mocks or seeded data.

• On github/main (30084f0018), created a project and isolated worktree through the app. Two Codex turns wrote version-one then version-two to state.txt. Archived the native session externally, restarted the server, then chose Edit from here → Revert files too on the second prompt. Restore failed with the archived-session error and the file stayed at version-two.
• Stopped main and started the exact PR head against the same task-owned state. Retried the same checkpoint. The real protocol trace shows thread/resume failing, thread/unarchive succeeding, the identical resume succeeding, then thread/revert succeeding. The second turn disappeared, its prompt returned to the composer, the native session became unarchived, and state.txt returned to version-one.
• Nearby behavior passed: a new provider turn after restore; normal unarchived conversation/file restore; ordinary message resume on a separate archived session, which replied RESUME_OK version-two.
• Blacksmith vp run check:changed cbd3e149a130f1d99d2d067c77b9889d64e28755 passed format, lint, knip, GraphQL, typechecks and 135 tests, including all 134 Codex adapter tests. No source changes were needed.

Native iOS/Android and Electron clients, macOS/Windows, remote relay/tunnel connections, other Codex versions and other providers were not exercised on this Linux VM. Idle release was not separately exercised; server restart exercised the unloaded-session path. The recording and uploaded playback/seeking were inspected.
