U5 — streaming failure capture + single error reporting

Part of the upstream PR 1066 split. Own issue: 1935. Content source of record: 72143527fd33306e5541116093c2cbf803cce9e0..pr-1066-audit).

Why this unit exists: handlePartial captures the streaming failure once and reports it once - no duplicate error bubble; the authoritative execute() error is the one surfaced.

Boundaries

  • base: 52699c6cd
  • head: 4b23b6a27
  • content source: 72143527fd33306e5541116093c2cbf803cce9e0..pr-1066-audit (local)

Fidelity (machine-verified)

zdt split verify --contract U5.json --worktree <wt> --head 4b23b6a27

Result: PASS — standalone 283 a+d / 2 files (UNDER-SOFT)

  • src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts: OK (content subset of source)
  • src/core/tools/__tests__/writeToFileTool.spec.ts: OK (content subset of source)

Design contract

  • issue: the split plan

Chain position

Merge order is fixed: U12 (1927) -> U4 -> U5 -> U3 -> U6 -> U7 -> FINAL (1928). This PR is opened against main because the split branches live on the fork; the diff GitHub shows is therefore cumulative through this unit. The unit's own content is the delta from the previous unit head (U4), listed under Fidelity above. The sole merge target of the series is the FINAL integration PR (1928); merging the chain in order keeps every bot-visible diff clean.

Verification (this unit, as pushed)

  • Tests: 239 passed / 5 skipped
  • changed-line coverage: 13 covered / 0 uncovered — PASS
  • ESLint: clean on every touched file; suppression counts unchanged
  • No .changeset file, no CHANGELOG edit.

Recreate policy

If the bot stalls on a pre-merge check and the existing head cannot obtain bot review/approval (empty-commit re-trigger attempted and failed), the unit is recreated from the tagged content source of record — never from a per-PR head. At most 1 PR per issue.

Linked issue

Closes #1935 (unit U5 of the upstream PR 1066 split).


Round update — Lifecycle Resource Cleanup + regression evidence for the rollback this unit changed

Shared root cause behind the Lifecycle Resource Cleanup row (all five units of 1066). handlePartial() registers this task's partial-stream entry — and its TaskAborted listener — before it checks the prevent-focus-disruption experiment. With the experiment enabled the delta returns without ever showing a preview and never reaches execute()'s teardown, so the entry and the listener stay attached for the rest of the task's life, and a streamFailed mark armed by an earlier failed delta keeps suppressing this task's later diff previews. The sibling units carry the same release in their own PRs, each verified red-first with a negative control.

This unit (U5): execute() is covered by the finally block, so only the suppressed-preview return in handlePartial() lacked a release; it now has one.

Red first: the new test failed with expected 1 to be +0. Green: 40 passed / 5 skipped. Negative control: removing the release turns exactly that one test red; restored green.

Regression evidence for the revertChanges() rollback this unit changed, added at the owning layer (DiffViewProvider.spec.ts):

  • an existing-file revert with no activeDiffEditor stops at the guard instead of dereferencing it — negative control: removing the guard makes the call reject with TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'document'), i.e. the guard is observably what stops it;
  • a created directory that never landed (rmdir ENOENT) does not abort the remaining rollback — negative control: dropping the ENOENT tolerance turns exactly that test red;
  • a non-ENOENT rmdir failure still reaches the caller — negative control: widening the tolerance to swallow every error turns exactly that test red. Together these pin fail-closed behaviour against over-tolerance.

Main refresh. Merged org main 036245c5e (U1 1927). U1's content no longer appears in this diff: 11 files +1471/−40 → 8 files +1091/−35, 0 behind main. Conflicts were confined to src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts (and Task.ts on U7) — the region U1 rewrote; resolved by taking main's version of the shared save-stage tests (try/finally plus the fixed-task-id ui_messages.json cleanup from cf9206a42) rather than re-implementing U1.

Verification after the merge: Task.spec 172 passed, writeToFileTool.spec 40/5, DiffViewProvider.spec 76 passed / 0 failed (the saveChanges default-values failure that was red locally on this branch is fixed by main), eslint 0/0.

Walkthrough

WriteToFileTool tracks partial-stream state per task and handles streaming failures, cancellation, and cleanup. DiffViewProvider restores streamed buffers and removes new-file placeholders and directories during rollback. Tests cover these paths and failed-history task disposal.

BaseTool invokes a hook after parameter parsing fails. WriteToFileTool tracks streaming failures per task, suppresses later deltas, finalizes partial asks, and reverts failed previews. The presenter releases stream state for malformed completed calls. Tests cover streaming failures, path stabilization, and task isolation.
Diff rollback and filesystem cleanup

DiffViewProvider restores streamed buffers before closing tabs and removes new-file placeholders and directories. It tolerates ENOENT and propagates other filesystem errors. Tests cover rollback and cleanup outcomes; the test-file suppression count decreases by one.
Execution and task-state cleanup
src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/writeToFileTool-partial-state-cleanup.spec.ts, src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts, src/__tests__/removeClineFromStack-delegation.spec.ts
WriteToFileTool releases task state and abort listeners across execution, early returns, parse failures, cancellation, and reset. Failed-history cleanup clears registered task state before disposal. Tests cover cleanup and cancellation paths.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

A changed rollback error branch lacks focused coverage. DiffViewProvider.discardFileTab() now catches a rejected tabGroups.close() call at src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts:942-951, converts it to a rollback failure, and prevents filesystem deletion. DiffViewProvider.spec.ts covers only a close that resolves false (:1546-1589); it has no test for a rejected close. This omission leaves a concrete editor-error path unverified at the lowest valid integration layer.

Resolution

Add a DiffViewProvider.spec.ts test for a new-file rollback with a dirty matching tab where vscode.window.tabGroups.close rejects. Assert that revertChanges() rejects with the rollback-close error, preserves the original cause, and does not call fs.unlink or remove created directories. Keep the existing refusal test for the false return path.


Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

The changed streaming-failure path can leave unapproved content in a saveable editor buffer. In WriteToFileTool.handlePartial(), a failed revertDiffChangesBeforeReset() is recorded at lines 622-638, but resetDiffViewAfterWrite() still runs at line 640. DiffViewProvider.reset() clears the edit state at lines 1281-1290, while closeAllDiffViews() skips dirty diff tabs at lines 642-673. Therefore, if applyEdit, save, or tab close refuses during rollback, the streamed buffer can remain dirty after the provider state is cleared. The final execute() then only reports rollbackFailure and returns at lines 274-278; it does not retry the rollback or restore the buffer. A user can subsequently save the dirty tab and persist content that was never approved. The parse-failure cleanup has the same ordering at lines 216-219.

Resolution

On rollback failure, do not clear the DiffViewProvider state and leave a dirty unapproved buffer without a recovery path. Retry or complete restoration of the pre-stream buffer before calling reset(). If restoration or closure remains refused, retain the edit context and enforce a safe recovery path that prevents saving the streamed buffer, then report the rollback failure. Add an integration regression test that makes rollback refuse after a streamed update, verifies the dirty buffer is not left saveable after cleanup, and covers both the valid-completion and parse-failure paths.


Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

The changed cancellation path can perform diff-view work after task disposal. handlePartial() checks cancellation at line 584, then awaits diffViewProvider.open() and calls update() without another check (lines 589-598). A task can abort while open() is waiting. Task.abortTask() emits TaskAborted and disposal starts revertChanges(). If open() then completes, it can register editor listeners after rollback and update() can succeed after disposal. The partial path has no later reset in this success case, so the listeners or diff view can remain attached to the disposed task. The same race can also duplicate rollback work.

Resolution

Add cancellation checks after every awaited diff-view operation, especially after open() and before update(). Make cancellation teardown single-owner and await or coordinate it with Task.dispose() so rollback and reset cannot run concurrently. Ensure the cancelled path always closes the diff view and removes its listeners. Add a regression test that holds open() pending, aborts the task, then resolves open() and verifies that update() is not called and all diff-view resources are released.

…rtial-path case

The core project passes locally at this head (174 files, 3274 tests) and the
case passes in isolation and with the whole core/tools directory. The ubuntu
run reported 0 calls to createDirectoriesForFile on the stabilized-path
assertion, which does not reproduce; re-running to confirm.
… no-filesystem contract

platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) fails on this branch while it passes locally, because the failing case
is it.skipIf(process.platform === "win32"): Windows CI and every local run skip it.

The case predates this unit. It asserted that the second streaming delta calls createDirectoriesForFile,
which is exactly the call this unit removes: an unguarded mkdir in handlePartial threw EROFS up into
BaseTool.handle(), which never set didRejectTool/didAlreadyUseTool, so presentAssistantMessage's
advancement gate was never reached and the agent loop stalled. The unit's own regression test ("EROFS in
handlePartial does not stall agent loop") pins the new contract; this older case still asserted the old
one, so the two contradicted and only Linux CI noticed.

Rewritten as "defers parent directory creation to execute() while streaming": no filesystem work during
streaming, and the directories are still created by the authoritative non-partial execute(). Same intent,
new contract.

Local run: 34 passed / 5 skipped in the file; the rewritten case also passes when the win32 skip is
lifted temporarily, so the flow is verified on this machine too.

Comment thread src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts
… other tasks

BaseTool.handle()'s parameter-parse branch reported the error and returned without any teardown, so a
task whose streaming delta had failed kept streamFailed in this singleton: every later write_to_file in
that task then skipped the diff preview. execute() never runs on that path, so nothing else released it.

Adds a protected BaseTool.clearTaskStreamState(task) hook (no-op by default) called from that catch, and
WriteToFileTool overrides it with resetTaskPartialState(task). The hook is per-task on purpose: these tool
instances are singletons shared by concurrent tasks, and the existing global resetPartialState() clears
the whole taskPartialStreamState map.

The same cross-task hazard applies inside execute(), which called that map-wide reset on both its success
and error paths: task A's write was deleting task B's streamFailed/streamError while B was still streaming
(duplicate partial ask, lost error). execute() now calls super.resetPartialState() for the genuinely
instance-global base field plus resetTaskPartialState(task). The error path also finalizes the partial ask
that the diff-view branch opened, so a failed write no longer leaves the spinner and Save/Reject live.

Tests (writeToFileTool.spec.ts, per-task stream state isolation): parse-failure teardown releases this
task and keeps the other task's entry; another task's streamFailed/streamError survive execute(); a failing
save finalizes the ask with the exact partial payload. All three fail on the pre-fix code (3 failed / 34
passed) and pass after (37 passed).

Local: eslint clean on all three files with --prune-suppressions (no suppression change), package tsc clean.

… early

DiffViewProvider.open() creates the parent directories and writes an empty placeholder
BEFORE it awaits openDiffEditor(). If that await rejects there is no activeDiffEditor, and
revertChanges() bailed out on `!this.activeDiffEditor` - leaving the placeholder and the new
directories on disk. The next execute() then saw an empty file and treated the requested new
file as an existing one, so a denial preserved the debris instead of removing it. The
streaming-failure cleanup in handlePartial() calls exactly this rollback, so the debris was
reachable from the new path in this unit.

The filesystem rollback now runs regardless of the editor: only the document work (save the
dirty buffer, close the diff views and the tab) needs one. removeCreatedFile/removeCreatedDir
tolerate ENOENT, since the failed open may never have written the placeholder - that must not
abort the rest of the cleanup.

Tests: 'revertChanges() removes the placeholder and created dirs when open() failed before the
editor existed' (unlink for the relPath, rmdir in reverse order) and 'revertChanges() tolerates
a placeholder that was never written' (ENOENT rejection does not propagate, delete still
attempted). Pin: restoring the old `!this.activeDiffEditor` early return fails both.

Local: integrations/editor + writeToFileTool.spec + core/task + assistant-message = 786 passed
(the single remaining failure, saveChanges default delay, reproduces without these changes);
tsc 0; eslint 0 err / 0 warn on both files.
The pre-merge table still reported the Persistence Integrity error at the previous head. The last
round fixed one call site - the new-file rollback - but the defect class has a second call site: the
existing-file branch of revertChanges() built its own WorkspaceEdit, discarded the boolean result of
workspace.applyEdit(), and saved unconditionally, so a refused restore wrote unapproved streamed
content into an existing file. Fixing one call site is not fixing the defect class.

The branch now runs through the same callee-owned contract as the new-file rollback instead of adding
a third inline copy of the check: restorePreStreamBuffer() throws when the editor refuses the restore,
so the save that follows cannot run, and saveBufferClean() now treats a save that did not happen as a
failure rather than a success. Both methods accept the document explicitly, because this branch
reached it through activeDiffEditor; resolving it again by path could pick a different buffer or none,
and none would skip the restore in silence. One test leaves the path lookup empty on purpose so that
assumption is pinned rather than assumed.

Same-class call sites in the same file that this change deliberately does not sweep, registered here
rather than changed: the save in showEditedFileWithoutDisruptingFocus, the three applyEdit calls in
saveChanges and its append path, the save in saveChanges, and the save in keepOrCloseEditedFile. None
is on the rollback path this unit changed; each needs its own row or issue.

Nine test fixtures mocked TextDocument.save() as resolving undefined; the API resolves a boolean, so
they now resolve true - the new failure check would otherwise be reading a fixture inaccuracy.

Verified: integrations/editor 95 passed (three new tests: real restore-and-save for an existing file,
no save on a refused restore, failure on a save that did not happen), core/tools 669, core/task 829;
eslint . --ext=ts --max-warnings=0 exit 0 with no suppression count increase; tsc --noEmit 0 errors;
prettier --check . reports 0 offenders in a worktree checked out with core.autocrlf=false. Negative
controls, each restored byte-for-byte: dropping the refused-restore check turns exactly the two
refused-restore tests red (the contract now guards both branches); dropping the failed-save check
turns exactly its own test red; resolving the existing-file document by path again turns three tests
red, which is the evidence that passing the document explicitly is load-bearing.

…er parse-failure no-state branch

Clears the two actionable rows of the CodeRabbit pre-merge table at head
9c54765.

Persistence Integrity (error): handlePartial() recorded a refused rollback
only as the stream error and always continued to resetDiffViewAfterWrite(),
so the next execute() re-opened the diff view and could save the dirty,
never-approved streamed buffer before approval (reset() cannot close a
dirty diff tab). The refused rollback is now recorded as an unrecoverable
per-task failure (rollbackFailure). execute() checks it before any write
path - no open/update/save, no directory creation - reports the recorded
failure exactly once, and releases the per-task state. The parse-failure
path keeps reporting the same failure once when the final block never
parses, because execute() released the state on its way out.

Regression Evidence (warning): the parse-failure hook's no-state branch had
no focused test - every parse-path test seeded a stream-state entry first.
Added a handle() test that submits a completed block without nativeArgs
before any partial delta and counts handleError calls by context: exactly
one "parsing write_to_file args", no "writing file", an empty per-task
state map, and the diff view untouched.

Negative controls: dropping the record line or neutering the execute()
guard reddens only the new fail-closed test; flipping the no-state branch
to return true reddens only the new parse-error test and stays green
against the previous spec, proving that branch was uncovered. The new
fail-closed test is red against the pre-fix head. Test doubles for the
widened TaskPartialStreamState are completed in this commit.

Accepting the four-exit rollback row as a known gap on this unit rather than inventing the shape here.

The row asks that approval denial, parse failure, streaming failure and task abort share one fail-closed rollback path. That shape is defined by a unit earlier in the merge order - 1928, then 1931, then 1929, then this unit, then 1932 - so introducing a competing version of it in this branch would give the chain two definitions of the same contract and guarantee a conflict at merge time.

What this unit does carry is the streaming-failure half of that contract: the capture-to-report path records the original streaming error, keeps it reachable when the rollback itself fails, and reports it exactly once. The remaining exits are ported forward from the defining unit, re-derived per branch rather than copied byte for byte, because each unit branch has a different surrounding scope and a copied hunk would silently bind to the wrong state.

Registered as a chain-level defect on tracking issue 1989 rather than argued away here; the row is accepted, not disputed.

…ompletion caller

The parse-failure teardown this unit added is reached only from BaseTool.handle(), but
the production malformed-completion path never gets there: presentAssistantMessage
emits its own tool_result and returns for a completed known-tool block that has no
nativeArgs, so tool.handle() - and with it releaseStreamStateOnParseFailure() - never
runs. The per-task stream entry and its TaskAborted listener were retained for the
life of the task, a retained streamFailed mark suppressed the diff preview of every
later write_to_file in that task, and a diff document the stream opened kept content
the user never approved.

Release this task's state from that guard, before it emits its single tool_result.
The guard owns the one tool_result a native tool call must produce, so the tool is
handed a reporter that folds the captured streaming failure into that result instead
of pushing a second one: the user still gets the actionable "Error writing file" row,
the model still gets exactly one tool_result for the tool_use_id, and the
missing-nativeArgs text stays the report when nothing was captured.

BaseTool's hook becomes public and names only the handleError member the teardown
actually uses, so both entries share one teardown and one report shape. The
duplicated JSDoc block above it is folded into the surviving comment.

Regression coverage drives presentAssistantMessage itself rather than the handler: a
failed streaming delta followed by the malformed completion asserts the entry is gone,
the exact registered abort listener is deregistered, the diff document is restored
before reset, exactly one tool_result is emitted, and the next write in the same task
streams its preview again. Negative controls: dropping the cleanup call reddens the
three cleanup tests; dropping the report fold, or the user-visible error row, reddens
exactly one; the same spec against the pre-fix presenter fails three of four.

… teardown fails

Two findings on the caller-side release, both about the one tool_result this guard owes
the provider.

A rejected Task.say() escaped the reporter, so the guard exited before storing the
failure text and before emitting the tool_result: the provider was left with a tool_use
that has no matching result and the block-completion bookkeeping never ran. Store the
report before attempting the chat row, and treat a teardown that throws as a logged leak
rather than a reason to skip the mandatory result.

The hook also reports - and still returns false - when a refused rollback found no
captured streaming error standing in for the parse error. That is a second, distinct
failure, so the single tool_result now carries both it and the missing-nativeArgs error;
using the rollback report alone told the model the call was malformed and then stayed
silent about it.

Dropping the nullish fallback in the error row removes a branch no caller can reach -
the hook only ever reports Error values - which is also the surviving mutant the
mutation-diff advisory named.

Coverage: a rejected chat row still yields exactly one tool_result carrying the streaming
failure and marks the block complete; a refused rollback yields one tool_result naming
both failures. Negative controls: rethrowing from the teardown reddens exactly the first,
dropping the second failure from the result reddens exactly the second.

…ailure

The guard's catch kept the mandatory tool_result, but it also swallowed the rejection
before the release call could answer whether its failure replaces the parse error, so a
task whose chat row could not be saved reported the captured streaming failure together
with the incidental missing-nativeArgs text. Catch the row inside the reporter instead:
the hook's answer survives, the tool_result names only the failure the user can act on,
and the outer catch still covers the rest of the teardown.

The rejected-row test now asserts the result does not name the malformed call. Negative
control: rethrowing from the inner catch reddens exactly that test, one of six.
