Stop handing clients the provider session cursors

[mnthr7]

resumeCursors is the harness's own bookkeeping — the native session id to resume, per instance, per task. It goes out on every bot payload and every bot SSE frame, and no client has ever read it.

It is harmless noise only for as long as every client is this machine. It is still worth not sending: it is internal provider state on the wire, it makes GET /api/bots bigger for no reason, and anything that ever consumes this API from somewhere else inherits it by default.

Stripped at one chokepoint rather than at each call site, because there are nine of them and a new broadcast should not have to remember.

The test asserts on the SSE bytes as well as the HTTP bodies. That is deliberate: this was found by capturing real wire output rather than by reading the code, and the wire is where it has to stay fixed.

What changed

Two serializers in server/index.ts are now the only place a record reaches a client:

• wireBot(bot) — drops resumeCursors from the bot and from its nested tasks. Every broadcast({ kind: "bot" }), the create/patch/chief responses, publicBot, and botWithThread go through it.
• wireTask(task) — drops resumeCursors from a task. Used for the nested task lists and for the two responses that answer with a task on its own: POST /api/bots/:id/tasks and PATCH /api/bots/:id/tasks/:threadId.

The task lists previously repeated the same ({ resumeCursors, ...t }) => t filter inline in three places; those now call wireTask.

No dist-server/ changes — build output is regenerated, not hand-edited.

Why

Covered above: it is provider session state, no client reads it, and a paired phone is a client now. The reason it is one chokepoint per shape rather than a filter at each call site is that the call sites keep multiplying and a new one silently ships the cursors again — which is exactly what happened to the standalone task responses in the first pass of this PR.

How it was verified

• pnpm typecheck — clean
• pnpm test — 47 files, 399 passed, 8 skipped
• New test never hands a client the provider session cursors covers GET /api/bots, create, patch, task create, task rename, and the bot SSE frame. It asserts on the serialized frame (JSON.stringify(frame)) as well as on the parsed objects, so a nested leak cannot pass.
• The new assertions were checked against a deliberately reverted fix: with PATCH .../tasks/:threadId answering with the raw store record, the test fails with expected { …(4) } to not have property "resumeCursors". It is not a vacuous assertion.
• macOS (Darwin 25.6), pnpm/vitest. No UI changes to click through.

Screenshots (UI changes)

None — server-side only, no visible change.

Checklist

• pnpm typecheck and pnpm test pass locally
• Server behavior changes come with tests (see CONTRIBUTING.md → Tests)
• No dist-server/ edits (it's build output)
• macOS-only code is platform-gated; no shell: true / cmd.exe string-building
• No secrets in logs, responses, events, or argv

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Removed internal provider resume cursor data from bot and task responses.
  • Ensured cursor data is excluded from bot updates, creation and task operations, and real-time event notifications.
  • Preserved normal bot and task behavior while preventing internal state from being exposed to clients.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The server now removes resumeCursors from bot and task data returned through REST endpoints and SSE broadcasts. An end-to-end test verifies cursor-free responses and cleans up the test bot.

Changes

Cursor-free bot responses

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bot wire serialization server/index.ts	wireBot and wireTask remove bot-level and task-level resumeCursors from client-visible data.
REST and SSE response integration server/index.ts, server/index.test.ts	Bot lifecycle, task, provider-state, and SSE responses use sanitized representations. The API test validates REST payloads and SSE frames.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to eed9b

This change removes internal session cursors from bot HTTP and SSE responses while preserving the intended client-facing behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

In `@server/index.test.ts`:
- Around line 432-436: Move the bot deletion currently following the stream
cleanup into an outer finally block that wraps the entire test flow, while
retaining stream.close() in its existing finally block. Ensure cleanup uses the
created bot’s ID and runs even when any earlier request or assertion fails.

In `@server/index.ts`:
- Around line 149-152: In server/index.ts lines 149-152, add a shared wireTask
serializer that removes resumeCursors, use it for the nested tasks in wireBot
and standalone task responses at lines 1841 and 1857, and replace the duplicated
filtering at lines 1825-1829 with this serializer. In server/index.test.ts lines
421-423, assert that task.body.task excludes resumeCursors.

Apply the same fix in `@server/index.test.ts` around lines 421 - 423.
