Summary

  • preserve the existing terminal.autoResumeAgentSessions setting
  • restore fresh local agent-hook bindings for Codex, Claude, and Kimi even when the last periodic snapshot recorded autoResume:false / wasAgentRunning:false
  • require a complete managed identity, matching persisted agent kind, and a binding no older than two hours
  • reject future timestamps, unsupported/custom kinds, stale bindings, disabled settings, and cross-kind replacements
  • promote autoResume only in the restore copy; persisted bindings stay unchanged

Regression coverage

  1. 3a6d1347a6 adds the failing workspace + Dock recovery tests and rejection cases
  2. ee5d7486c0 implements the restore policy

Validation

  • Swift parser on changed sources/tests
  • strict test determinism
  • pbxproj test wiring
  • workspace package grouping
  • Package.resolved policy
  • pbxproj normalization
  • focused macOS test and tagged cloud build dispatched at the fixed SHA

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved crash recovery for Codex, Claude, and Kimi sessions.
    • Recent, trusted sessions can resume automatically across workspaces and dock splits.
    • Sessions preserve their configured agent identity during restoration.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Stale, unsupported, incomplete, or disabled resume configurations remain manual instead of resuming unexpectedly.
    • Previously running sessions restore using their correct running state.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR centralizes crash-recovery auto-resume decisions for agent sessions. It validates bindings, checks persisted agent state and prior running state, updates Workspace and DockSplitStore restoration, and adds tests for trusted and unsafe bindings.

Changes

Crash recovery auto-resume

Layer / File(s) Summary
Binding validation and resume policy
Sources/App/WorkspaceRuntimeSettings.swift
Validates recent local agent-hook bindings, supported agent kinds, complete session identity, and restorable persisted agents. Eligible stopped sessions receive temporary auto-resume bindings.
Session restore integration
Sources/Workspace.swift, Sources/DockSplitStore+SessionRestore.swift, Sources/DockSplitStore+SessionSnapshot.swift
Uses centralized, binding-aware auto-resume decisions during snapshot capture and terminal restoration.
Crash recovery restore tests
cmuxTests/AgentSessionAutoResumeSwiftTests.swift
Tests trusted Codex, Claude, and Kimi bindings, unsafe or stale bindings, disabled auto-resume, and cross-kind persisted agents.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2f883

The restore path can persist a temporary crash-recovery promotion as future auto-resume behavior, and the recovery tests may not exercise the enabled-setting path because their shared fixture disables it. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and validation issues to be addressed.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Use a controlled clock for binding freshness.

These tests derive fresh and stale timestamps from Date(). The restore decision then depends on wall-clock time during the test. Inject a clock into the restore policy and use fixed timestamps relative to that clock.

As per coding guidelines, “Test code must avoid real wall-clock dependencies: use injected virtual clocks and advance them manually.”

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Set wasAgentRunning for the auto-resume fixture.

Workspace.restoreSessionSnapshot and DockSplitStore.restoreSessionSnapshot require both the setting and wasAgentRunning to enable auto-resume. Line 1777 sets that value to false, so the trusted cases at Lines 18-80 stay manual. The unsafe and cross-kind cases also pass without exercising their intended rejection path.

Proposed fix
-        terminal.wasAgentRunning = false
+        terminal.wasAgentRunning = true

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep crash-recovery promotion out of persisted binding state.

bindingForCrashRecovery creates a binding with autoResume = true. Later, Lines 1686-1693 store effectiveResumeBindingForStartup in surfaceResumeBindingsByPanelId. This persists the promoted copy instead of the original manual binding.

A later snapshot can then serialize the binding as auto-resumable. This violates the restore-only contract and can change a stale or otherwise manual binding into persisted auto-resume state.

Keep the original binding for storage. Use a separate launch-only binding for approval and startup. Add a restore-then-snapshot regression test that confirms autoResume remains unchanged in persisted bindings.

As per coding guidelines, Swift architecture changes must preserve clear ownership and invariants.

Closing after the revised verification requirement. An isolated build based on unmodified main (only unrelated CLI ref-resolution changes) passed the full fresh-hook hard-crash check: Claude prompt completed, the autosave held a fresh local agent-hook binding with autoResume=true, the app was killed with SIGKILL, and relaunch eagerly restored the Claude UI and prior exchange without manual Enter. The built-in terminal.autoResumeAgentSessions=true path therefore covers this case; no additional restore policy should ship without a failing real-world repro. The branch test lane also exposed unrelated/pre-existing suite failures, so keeping this speculative behavior change open would add risk without demonstrated need.
