feat: rewind conversations while keeping file changes by maria-rcks · Pull Request #11358 · pingdotgg/t3code

maria-rcks · 2026-09-12T02:27:18Z

Rewinding a prompt now offers Revert and keep changes, which removes later chat history and restores the prompt for editing while leaving workspace files and staging intact. Revert files too preserves the existing filesystem restore action. A distinct command lets older servers reject the new action safely; OpenCode forks retained history so its native revert cannot undo files behind this choice.

Verified real Codex, Claude, and OpenCode file edits, keep-files rewind, prompt editing/resend, unchanged staged/unstaged/untracked contents, and full-file restore. Claude and OpenCode continuation confirm discarded prompts are absent from provider history. Nongit keep-files rewind passes through the real OpenCode client path. All 151 focused existing tests pass; server/web/client-runtime typechecks and scoped lint/formatting pass.

Cursor and Grok do not support provider history rollback; the existing unavailable controls remain unchanged. Antigravity is not installed. The dialog is shared by web and desktop; the mobile action retains its existing file-restore behavior.

Implemented with GPT-6 in Codex.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a new rewind mode and changes provider rollback from native reversion to forked sessions, affecting conversation history, resume cursors, and filesystem checkpoint handling across multiple layers. The cross-cutting user-facing behavior and altered existing rollback path warrant human validation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a choice between restoring files and keeping workspace changes during conversation rewind. It introduces a separate conversation-revert command and changes provider rollback to fork sessions without rewriting workspace files.

Changes

Conversation rewind

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Revert command contracts and dispatch `packages/contracts/src/orchestration.ts`, `packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.ts`, `packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.test.ts`	Defines `thread.conversation.revert`, adds `restoreFiles`, selects the command type, and tests both dispatch paths.
Revert choice in the web interface `apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx`, `docs/user/composer.md`	Adds confirmation actions to restore files or keep workspace changes. Updates the rewind documentation.
Conditional checkpoint restoration `apps/server/src/orchestration/decider.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/CheckpointReactor.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/CheckpointReactor.test.ts`	Routes both commands through the revert flow. Skips filesystem restoration for conversation reverts. Tests filesystem, checkpoint, and rollback outcomes.
Fork-based provider rollback `apps/server/src/provider/Layers/OpenCodeAdapter.ts`, `apps/server/src/provider/Layers/OpenCodeAdapter.test.ts`	Forks sessions at removed user messages, validates boundaries, resets session state, and resumes turns on the forked session. Tests fork behavior and failures.

deleteCheckpointRefs only when that CWD is available.

runtimeMock.state.messages. Update the messages handler’s fork-backed state so
post-fork readThread or rollbackThread observes the continued prompt, and add an

3815-3897: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use the last retained message as the fork boundary. OpenCode session.fork includes the supplied messageID, but this code passes the first removed user message. Therefore, forkMessages.data.length is one greater than entries.indexOf(firstRemovedMessage), and every non-empty rollback fails with "OpenCode did not preserve the requested rewind boundary." Pass the last retained message instead, and use the supported empty-session path when no messages remain. Keep the existing state updates after fork validation so failures leave the original session and resume cursor unchanged.

Merges `upstream/main` at `e81606494` into the fork, from merge base `02297e3db` — 47 upstream commits. The theme of this range is scopable settings: upstream made every server setting addressable at a scope (global / environment / project) with per-project overrides, which is why 11 of the 15 conflicts are settings files. The rest is conversation rewind, floating device streams, and a large batch of message-sync and markdown-streaming perf work. ## Merge stats - Landed (`HEAD^1..HEAD`): 277 files, 17243+/4783− - Upstream range (base..`HEAD^2`): 275 files, 17011+/4749− - Fork delta (`HEAD^2..HEAD`): 756 files, 76559+/2096− The two file lists reconcile: the 3 extra landed files are `docs/fork/inventory.json`, `docs/fork/upstream-merge-log.md` and `docs/fork/gaps.md`; the 1 file in the range that did not land is `apps/web/src/routes/settings.integrations.tsx`, resolved `ours` per the `moatless-admin-integrations-route` inventory entry (that route is a Moatless admin page here, and upstream's embedded-surface settings live at `/settings/browser`). All 15 conflicts were resolved by the verdict `preflight.mjs` printed. No `decide` conflict was left unresolved. Details, including the owned-concern sweep (no keyword hits) and the unsupported-method reconciliation (0 ADD, 0 DROP, 2 KEEP, 4 known exceptions), are in the dated entry in `docs/fork/upstream-merge-log.md`. Two findings worth naming here: - **A silent auto-merge failure.** pingdotgg#11285 changed the mini-player target from a tab id to a source union. Git updated upstream's own assertion in `PreviewView.test.tsx` and left the fork-only "under the frame capability" case next to it still asserting the old string. No conflict marker, no `resolution-check.mjs` finding — only the fork's own test suite caught it. - **Stale inventory anchors.** Upstream moved the project Actions section out of `ProjectSettingsPanel.tsx` into a new `ProjectActionsSettings.tsx`, which is where `scriptsEditable` is now derived and where upstream's new writing Reset button is gated. Four inventory entries were re-pointed in this merge rather than silently dropping their deltas. ## Usable as-is Client work the fork can expose with no Moatless backend change: - Scoped settings UI and the two-select scope picker (pingdotgg#10639, pingdotgg#10636) — `SettingsScopeContext`, `ScopedSwitch`, `settingKeys`, the `mixed` state. The reading half works against Moatless today. - Float device streams over chat, as a source union rather than a tab id (pingdotgg#11285); recording status on floating previews (pingdotgg#11312); floating preview using composer margins (pingdotgg#11290). - PR-page selections into new drafts (pingdotgg#11296); projects-on-another-machine badge (pingdotgg#11323); Usage opening on Limits (pingdotgg#11261). - macOS permission onboarding (pingdotgg#11289); hold-to-quit fix (pingdotgg#11016); preview keystrokes kept out of the composer (pingdotgg#11354). - Message-sync and markdown-streaming perf: pingdotgg#11302, pingdotgg#11029, pingdotgg#11211, pingdotgg#11198, pingdotgg#11196, pingdotgg#11193, pingdotgg#11181, pingdotgg#11206. - Assorted web/mobile fixes: pingdotgg#11361, pingdotgg#10757, pingdotgg#11357, pingdotgg#10571, pingdotgg#11348, pingdotgg#11349, pingdotgg#11281, pingdotgg#11188, pingdotgg#11283, pingdotgg#11292, pingdotgg#11187, pingdotgg#11228, pingdotgg#11103, pingdotgg#10612, pingdotgg#11032, pingdotgg#11233, pingdotgg#11234, pingdotgg#11304, pingdotgg#11240. ## Unsupported in Moatless / needs implementation - **Conversation rewind** — `thread.conversation.revert` (pingdotgg#11358). A new member of `DispatchableClientOrchestrationCommand` in `packages/contracts/src/orchestration.ts`, bringing the fork to 30 command types (28 upstream's, 2 fork-only). Moatless does not dispatch it, and a client command cannot be refused per-type, so "Edit from here" on `RevertUserMessageButton` is reachable whenever the turn is idle and does nothing. Needs backend dispatch. - **Per-project setting overrides** — the `projectSettingsOverrides` capability and the 17-key `ProjectSettingsOverrides` record (pingdotgg#11176). Two pieces are needed: the capability reported by `/.well-known/t3/environment`, and `server.updateSettings` served at project scope. Until both land, the capability filter in `scopedSettings.ts:170` and `ProjectActionsSettings.tsx:72` drops the write on the client — the control renders, the user toggles it, and **the write never leaves the browser**. A silent no-op is worse than a hidden control or an honest refusal; recorded in `docs/fork/gaps.md`. - **Default thread permissions** — `defaultRuntimeMode` (pingdotgg#11346). Reads fine, cannot be saved. Same `server.updateSettings` write path as above, one level deeper, not a separate gap. ## Backend behavior to consider reproducing in Moatless Upstream server-side work the fork cannot use directly, but that Moatless would benefit from: - **Queue messages during context compaction** (pingdotgg#11107, `ProviderCommandReactor.ts`) — a message sent while compaction is in flight is currently dropped rather than held. - **Restore provider history and prompts when rewinding** (pingdotgg#11338, `CheckpointReactor.ts`) — the counterpart to `thread.conversation.revert` above; rewinding the thread without rewinding provider state leaves the two out of sync. - **Detect file renames in review diffs** (pingdotgg#8086, `apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts`) — a rename currently reads as a whole-file delete plus a whole-file add. - **Preserve qualified Codex model ids** (pingdotgg#9921, `ModelManifest.ts` + `CodexTextGeneration.ts`). - **Model defaults** astra-medium / fable-5.1-medium (pingdotgg#11347). All five are recorded under the runtime-fixes entry in `docs/fork/gaps.md`. ## Verification `verify.mjs` (full pass): 7 of 8 checks green — `duplicate-adds`, `tripwires`, `resolution-check`, `unsupported-methods`, `fmt:check`, `lint`, `typecheck`. `test` is red on **`@t3tools/desktop` only**, at `scripts/browser-secret-native.test.mjs > bundled libsecret helper`: `Command failed: pkg-config --cflags --libs libsecret-1`. This is the standing sandbox gap, not a merge regression — the test file's last commit is `498ab9c39` (pingdotgg#7261, before the merge base), `git diff --name-only` against both merge parents is empty for it, and `pkg-config --exists libsecret-1` fails in this environment. It is already an entry in `docs/fork/gaps.md`. Every other package passes, including `@t3tools/web` (5079 tests) after the `PreviewView.test.tsx` fix above. Three typecheck failures the merge introduced were fixed in it: `SETTINGS_CATEGORY_SCOPES` in `settingsSearch.ts` was missing all 9 fork-only settings paths, and two `filterAvailableSettingsSearchItems` literals in `settingsSearch.test.ts` were missing the fork's `forgejoEnabled` field. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --- Moatless task: https://moatless.soaplabstest.com/tasks/e70b41b3-779d-43b8-8f34-7de516548e7c
