The first follow-up after importing a Claude Code session tried to create its existing native session ID and failed with “Session ID … is already in use.” The same failure affected imports made before this fix, without any reimport step.

The adapter now resumes when the native transcript already exists and no other resume signal applies. It reuses the existing instance-home transcript lookup. Unsaved failed-create retries keep using the create path, including after runtime release. The original metadata marker and importer-only backfill were removed, so legacy threads work on direct continuation without schema changes or reimport. Current main is merged and contributor commits are preserved.

Verification at 919d6c8186:

  • 368 tests pass across the adapter, importer, and thread-launch suites. The retained legacy direct-continuation regression fails on unchanged main and passes with this fix; the failed-create retry control passes before and after. Original added cases: 3 → 2. Two duplicate importer fixtures were removed after the first review; both real import paths were also checked during the rebuild. No reimport is required.
  • Server typecheck passed. Targeted lint passed with one existing unused layer warning; formatting and whitespace checks passed.
  • The primary agent reran all 8 native-identity/empty-transcript cases. Real Claude CLI with synthetic history: --session-id rejected the existing ID before any API request; --resume loaded it and reached a local endpoint, which rejected synthetic credentials. No real account or quota was used. Two full-diff review rounds on Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol found no correctness blockers; the first round prompted removal of redundant test fixtures, and the second was clean.

This server adapter behavior is shared by web, desktop, and mobile. Screenshots are not applicable. Real-account follow-up and running-client import flows were not verified; macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, Electron desktop, relay, and tunnel remain unverified. Missing or inaccessible native transcripts cannot be restored by this fix. Resuming history stored under a different working directory was not verified.

…ow-up

An imported Claude Code session is written as a provider thread with a strong
native ref, no conversation head and no provider turns. `openQuery` only
resumed when one of those existed or this session instance had already
opened the native thread, so the first follow-up reopened the session with a
fixed `sessionId` and the CLI rejected it: "Session ID ... is already in use".

`resumeThread` is how the orchestrator re-attaches a provider thread that
already carries a native id. When the thread has never been bound by a
provider session of ours (`providerSessionId === null`, the shape both import
paths write), record its native id as adopted and let `openQuery` resume it.
Threads this adapter minted keep their provider session id, so a retry after
a failed first create still creates the session.

📝 Walkthrough

Imported provider threads now include origin metadata. The Claude adapter uses this metadata to resume an imported native session on its first provider turn.

Changes: Imported session resumption

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mark imported provider threads
packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts, apps/server/src/project/AgentSessionImporter.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/project/AgentSessionImporter.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadLaunchService.test.ts
The metadata contract adds the optional nativeThreadOrigin value "imported". The importer stamps matching existing provider threads and initializes new ones with this value. The orchestrator retains supplied metadata while adding the marker. Tests cover imported metadata and repeat imports.
Resume imported Claude sessions
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts
The adapter treats an imported thread as requiring session resumption, even when no provider turn has been persisted. Tests cover imported first-turn resumption and minted-thread behavior.

The first version keyed the resume decision on `providerSessionId === null`
at `resumeThread`, but the orchestrator binds a provider session to the
provider thread when it starts the run, before the turn-start service ever
reaches the adapter, so the guard could not fire in production.

Both import paths now stamp `nativeMetadata.nativeThreadOrigin = "imported"`
on the provider thread they write, and `ClaudeAdapterV2.openQuery` reads it
from the turn's provider thread next to the existing resume signals. The
provenance is persisted with the row, so it survives idle release and a
failed first follow-up, and threads this adapter minted carry no origin and
keep creating their session.

CodeRabbit was right that the first commit's providerSessionId === null guard could not fire in production: the orchestrator binds a provider session to the provider thread at run start, and ProviderTurnStartService requires that binding before it reaches the adapter.

  • Both import paths (AgentSessionImporter and the orchestrator's importedNativeThread branch) now stamp nativeMetadata.nativeThreadOrigin = "imported" on the provider thread they write. The field is a new optional literal on OrchestrationV2ProviderThreadNativeMetadata, next to itemIdentityVersion.
  • ClaudeAdapterV2.openQuery reads it from the turn's provider thread; the resumeThread bookkeeping from the first commit is gone.

Tests: the adapter case now shapes the provider thread the way production hands it over (bound session id, strong native ref, no head, imported origin) and fails against the first commit (expected undefined to equal 'imported-native-session'); AgentSessionImporter.test.ts and ThreadLaunchService.test.ts assert the origin on both import paths. 188 server tests across the four touched files and 493 contracts tests pass; repo-wide pnpm run typecheck 0 errors; vp fmt --check and vp lint clean.

Rows written before the import origin existed carry no marker, so their
first Claude follow-up still reopened the session with a fixed id. Both
already-imported paths of AgentSessionImporter now load the thread's
provider threads and stamp `nativeThreadOrigin: "imported"` on the row for
the imported session when it is missing; rows that already carry it are left
alone.

CodeRabbit's second point stands: rows imported before the origin marker existed have no marker. Both already-imported paths of AgentSessionImporter now backfill it, writing one provider-thread.updated event with nativeThreadOrigin: "imported" on the row for the imported session when it is missing and leaving stamped rows alone. New test stamps the import origin on provider threads imported before it existed covers both outcomes. Importer, Claude adapter and thread-launch suites 173 passed; pnpm run typecheck, vp fmt --check and vp lint clean.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Report failed origin stamps as incomplete.

If the orchestration_events insert for the origin stamp fails before commit, stampImportedOriginOrWarn logs the error and returns success. For an AlreadyImported thread, the importer has already incremented importedCount and does not increment skippedCount. When this is the only import outcome, WelcomeWizard marks the project imported and skips it on same-session retries. The missing marker can leave Claude’s first follow-up, when no other resume signal applies, on the fixed-sessionId path instead of resuming the native thread. Report the stamp failure as incomplete so the project remains retryable.

One upgrade path still seems uncovered at de8d7003: continuing a thread imported before the update without rerunning import. With the real importer and adapter plus injected storage/SDK boundaries, an existing imported row with a native ID, no origin marker, no conversation head and turn ordinal 1 still selects sessionId. Explicit reimport through either v1_import or AlreadyImported makes it select resume instead.

I reproduced both paths: the 135-test importer/adapter run passes, but the two assertions expecting direct continuation to resume fail. Tested main at a1d9d72a behaves the same on direct continuation, so this is an uncovered upgrade case rather than a new regression. Is reimport an intentional requirement, or should existing rows be repaired when continued? This assumes the native transcript exists; I verified query selection, not a live CLI round-trip.

Before review handoff, please resolve the existing upgrade-path question. At de8d700, the origin backfill runs through AgentSessionImporter, while the adapter's new resume condition requires that marker. The reported direct continuation of a previously imported, unmarked thread still chooses sessionId unless import runs again.

Is reimport an intentional requirement for those existing threads, or should direct continuation repair them? Please state the intended scope and provide the corresponding observed check under the problem/scope and verification requirements. Leaving this open pending that answer.

Taking over this one as maintainer for batch claude-10. Keeping the original PR and contributor commits, merging current main, and rebuilding focused coverage. The scope includes direct continuation of legacy imports without requiring reimport; I will verify that upgrade path as well as new imports and fresh-session retries. No merge planned.

The legacy-upgrade question is now resolved in this rebuild: direct continuation resumes an existing native transcript without reimport or an origin marker. The retained legacy regression fails on main and passes here; unsaved failed-create retries still create across reattachment and release. Removed the marker, contract extension, and importer-only backfill. Final focused suites: 368 passed. Two independent full-diff review rounds completed; the second is clean. Updated the body with current proof and platform limits.
