ApprovabilityVerdict: Approved at Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Large RPC messages are split and reassembled so slow transfers can maintain connection liveness. Negotiation preserves legacy-client behavior, without changing permissions, stored data or product settings. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |
Thread transfer impact✅ Thread transfer remains within every enforced ceiling.
Baseline: Scenario and decoded snapshot size10 historical turns, 5 command tools per turn, 878.9 KiB retained MCP result per historical turn, and a 1.05 MiB retained result in the measured turn.

Shared frame-part protocol packages/shared/src/socketFrameParts.ts, packages/shared/src/socketFrameParts.test.ts, packages/shared/package.json |
Adds helpers to split oversized string frames and reassemble marked parts. The test checks that split multibyte text stays within the configured byte limit and round-trips through UTF-8. The shared package exports the helpers. |
Client and server WebSocket integration packages/client-runtime/src/rpc/session.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/rpc/session.test.ts, apps/server/src/ws.ts |
The client adds frameParts=1 to the WebSocket URL and joins incoming parts. The server splits outgoing frames when the URL contains the parameter. Session tests cover a multipart initial snapshot and the updated URL. |

The description is complete and relevant. It explains the slow-link reconnect problem, the protocol and client/server changes, scope and required approval, verification results, limitations, and agent attribution. It uses "## Fix" and "## Testing" instead of the template headings "## Change" and "## Verification", but the required information is present.

stays within the UTF-8 byte budget, including the PART_PREFIX overhead, rather
than limiting UTF-16 code units; ensure splitting never separates a surrogate

Reviewed the 48 KiB suggestion against The independent review found no blocking runtime defect. I corrected the device-evidence wording: JSON parsing took 22 ms and total frame handling took 2.7 seconds. Those measurements do not establish continuous blocking or exclude processing problems on the reporter's S25. The 17 focused tests and CI passed at this exact head.

…onnection in a loop The client's ping reply waits behind whatever the server is already sending, and a WebSocket message only arrives once all of it has. When the config snapshot takes longer than the 15s ping timeout to download, the client declares a healthy server dead, reconnects, and downloads the same snapshot again, forever. Clients now ask the server to send messages over 64 KiB in parts. Each part that arrives counts as the server being alive, and the client joins the parts back into the original message. Old clients and old servers keep sending and receiving whole messages. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Refs #23731. This fixes the reproduced slow-link loop; the reporter's original disconnect cause remains unconfirmed.
On a slow link, a phone never finishes connecting to a server with a big config. The client drops the socket after 15 s without a message, and a WebSocket message only reaches the app once all of it has arrived. A config snapshot of a few MB takes longer than that, so the client gives up on a healthy server, reconnects and downloads the same snapshot again, forever.
Scope and approval
This changes the RPC WebSocket wire protocol through negotiated frame parts and shared client reassembly. It requires an approving GitHub review from Theo or Julius before merge. Macroscope approval does not satisfy that requirement.
Fix
frameParts=1to its socket URL.packages/shared/src/socketFrameParts.ts).A stalled connection still times out. A link that cannot deliver a part within the liveness timeout can still disconnect.
The snapshot is this big partly because of the per-folder skill copies in #21181, which this PR doesn't touch.
Evidence
POCO F4, Android 14, dev build on corex, 2026-10-22. The dev server pads the snapshot to 4 MB (about 390 KB on the wire) and the phone reaches it through a proxy capped at 12 KB/s, so the snapshot takes about 33 s.
Before (
main): each socket dies after about 177 KB with "stopped responding for 15s", and the app retries forever.before.mp4
After: one socket receives the whole snapshot and the environment stays Connected.
