Drop stale pre-baseline render-grid frames: break the replay livelock behind slow phone terminal rendering - #13761
Conversation
…rames A replay baseline races the delta stream over a high-RTT transport: frames emitted before the replay's capture are still in flight when the baseline lands. The revision-continuity check is binary, so those superseded frames are treated as chain corruption and answered with another replay, whose reset invalidates the next in-flight frames in turn - a livelock measured at one full replay per round trip (280 replays in 8 minutes, median gap 0.26s, zero fence refusals) in #13474. This commit adds a classify API stubbed to the pre-fix binary behavior plus tests specifying the stale verdict, so CI shows them red before the fix.

…eplays classify() now returns .stale for a frame whose revision identity sits at or below the delivered baseline within the same epoch: revisions are monotonic per epoch, so such a frame is superseded by construction - typically a delta (or older full frame) that was in flight when a replay baseline landed over a high-RTT transport. The phone's delivery gate drops stale frames silently before either chain check, logging sync.render_grid_stale_frame_dropped, and leaves the chain untouched so the next genuinely chained delta paints. Gaps ahead (base > delivered), cross-epoch frames, unknown baselines, and shape mismatches on linkable frames keep failing closed with a replay, and legacy epochless producers keep their history-chain-only behavior. This breaks the livelock from #13474: replay resets invalidated the 2-3 frames in flight per round trip, each rejection re-requested a replay, and one field surface sustained 280 full replays in 8 minutes (median gap 0.26s, exactly the relay round trip) with delta frames flowing normally the whole time.

Use a valid sequence for the stale-frame assertions.
The baseline uses stateSeq: 10, but the stale frames use sequences 6 and 7. The existing sequence gate drops both frames before MobileTerminalRenderGridRevisionContinuity.classify runs. The test therefore does not exercise the new revision-stale path.
Set both stale frames to stateSeq: 10 or another valid non-stale sequence. Equal sequence values pass the strict > check and reach the revision classifier, where revisions 9 and 10 are classified as .stale against revision 12.

Field verification on the combined dogfood build (this PR + #13432 + #13734), same phone/user/session shape as the original measurement, live transport switch mid-session:
User-reported feel: noticeably better; fast at agent idle, remaining slowness under active agent animation tracks raw delta volume (27fps of full-screen TUI repaints over cellular), not resync churn. Phone-side log confirmed the drop path is correct: the 10 remaining chain breaks in the LAN window were genuine gaps ahead, none were stale frames misclassified. Follow-ups spotted, out of scope here: bounded reconnect replay burst (barrier/fence retry dance during transport handover), and mobile frame-emission coalescing under sustained TUI animation. |
Fast static checks requires the normalized form; the drift was inherited from the fork point, not introduced by this change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixes the dominant slow-rendering mechanism in #13474 (the resize-storm half is #13734).
Field measurement from a phone typing into a streaming claude over the relay: 280 full render-grid replays served in 8 minutes on one surface, median gap 0.26s — exactly one transport round trip — with zero viewport-fence refusals, delta frames flowing normally (15/s), and the byte stream advancing only ~5KB between replays. The phone was not behind on data; it was discarding its state four times a second.
Mechanism:
MobileTerminalRenderGridRevisionContinuity.admitsis binary. When a replay baseline lands, the 2-3 delta frames that were in flight during the round trip carry pre-baseline revision identities; the delivery gate treated them as chain corruption and answered each withterminalOutputNeedsReplay, whose replay reset invalidated the next round trip's in-flight frames in turn. The byte stream already has a stale floor for exactly this race (stashTerminalPreBarrierDeliveredEndSeq); the render-grid revision chain had no analog.Change, per the one-line spec from dogfood review: frames from before the replay are stale, not corruption.
classify(_:delivered:)on the shared continuity type returns admit / stale / chainBreak. Stale = same epoch, revision at or below the delivered baseline (revisions are monotonic per epoch — the byte tee mints one epoch per surface lifetime and replays claim revisions from the same sequence), including older FULL frames, which previously re-entered as an admit that regressed the baseline and broke the chain on the next delta.sync.render_grid_stale_frame_dropped), leaving the chain intact so the next genuinely chained delta paints with no recovery frame.Two-commit regression pair: commit 1 adds the classification tests against the pre-fix binary behavior (red), commit 2 adds the logic, the delivery-gate drop, and a behavior-level test proving a stale delta and a stale full frame are dropped with no replay barrier, no hydration flag, and an intact chain (green).
CMUXMobileCorepackage suite: 22/22 locally.Expected field effect:
sync.render_grid_revision_chain_breakand the 4Hzmobile.terminal.replaycadence disappear outside genuine gaps; replays return to being triggered by real resyncs only.🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Fixes the replay livelock on slow phone terminals by treating pre-baseline render-grid frames as stale instead of corruption.
classify(_:delivered:)on the shared continuity type now returns.stalefor frames at or below the delivered baseline within the same epoch, and the phone delivery gate drops them silently without replaying or mutating the chain.Written for commit 7f5066d. Summary will update on new commits.
