Summary

Zero can now read the sessions other coding agents leave on the local disk — Claude Code, Codex, Factory Droid and Pi — list them, and continue that work in Zero.

zero sessions discover              # sessions from other agents, this workspace
zero sessions import <agent>:<id>   # copy one into Zero
zero exec --resume <zero-id> "…"    # continue it

In the TUI, /resume gains a tab strip (All · zero · claude-code · codex · factory · pi) and lists un-imported sessions directly — choosing one imports and resumes in a single step.

Draft, and deliberately so. There is no parent issue yet. Opening this to make the design concrete before asking for one, because the neighbourhood is sensitive — see Scope below.

Scope: how this differs from #399

#399 (internal/agentcli) was closed on a deliberate design line: Zero talks to model APIs directly, does not wrap other vendors' CLIs, and does not reuse another product's subscription login. That closure invited "a narrow, self-contained slice… with no subprocess harness and no borrowed-identity tokens".

This is that slice:

Rejected in #399 Here
Reads other agents' auth tokens Reads only transcripts. Never opens an auth file.
Shells out to claude / codex binaries No subprocess. Parses files at rest.
Runs turns on a borrowed subscription Runs on Zero's own provider, the user's own key.

Import is strictly one-way: nothing is written to, moved in, or locked in another agent's store.

Why it is small

sessions.FormatExecPrompt — behind both zero exec --resume and the TUI's /resume — renders the event log to a text digest rather than rehydrating a provider-native conversation. So an importer never has to reconstruct tool_use/tool_result pairs into Anthropic- or OpenAI-shaped messages. It only has to emit Zero Event records, after which resume, fork, rewind, compaction, lineage and the picker all work unchanged.

Four agents cost two parsers: Claude Code, Factory Droid and Pi independently converged on the same layout, so one family-1 parser serves all three. Codex needs its own (date-partitioned, payload-wrapped).

Credential safety

Every one of the surveyed agents keeps live credentials in the same tree as its transcripts — ~/.codex/auth.json (OPENAI_API_KEY + OAuth), ~/.gemini/oauth_creds.json, ~/.claude/.credentials.json, ~/.grok/auth.json, ~/.factory/auth.v2.key, and ~/.pi/agent/auth.json, which is the direct sibling of ~/.pi/agent/sessions/.

So discovery is fixed-depth globs pinned to one extension, never filepath.WalkDir; symlinks are rejected by Lstat (a link named x.jsonl pointing at auth.json otherwise passes the extension check); and a session id is resolved by comparing glob results, never by joining the id onto a root, so ../../auth matches nothing.

Imported text is untrusted input and passes through internal/redaction at a single chokepoint.

Both properties are mutation-tested: swapping the glob for a walk, or gutting the redaction call, each fail a test.

Tool work reaching the model

sessions.promptContextEvents passes messages but not EventToolCall/EventToolResult. Without help, a 22-event import gave the continuing model 2 messages and ~1,155 characters — no knowledge that any file had been touched.

Zero's own compaction cannot substitute: toolPayloadPreview allow-lists id/name/toolName/status and drops arguments and output, so a summariser learns that a Read failed but never which file or why. Those values are still in hand at translation time.

So the translator emits an activity summary as EventCompaction — a type the filter already passes — one event per category, each under the digest's 500-character per-event budget. promptContextEvents is untouched; native resumes are unaffected.

A call whose result failed withdraws its claim, so a Read of a path that does not exist is never reported as a file that was read.

Behaviour changes to existing code

  • internal/tui/model_test.go: the session-picker assertion moves from Meta == "" to "Meta must not contain the session id, and must name the source agent". That check has always been about keeping the raw id out of the row; empty-string was a proxy for it.
  • applyQuery gains a tab filter that is a no-op for every picker without a tab strip (covered by a test).

Verification

  • make fmt-check, go vet ./..., go build ./..., git diff HEAD --check — clean
  • go test ./... — all packages pass except two pre-existing failures on main: TestRunDoctorFormatsRedactedProviderDiagnostics and TestRunDoctorConnectivityProbesProvider. Both reproduce on a pristine origin/main worktree with no changes from this branch.
  • go test -race ./internal/agentsessions/ — clean
  • Advisory golangci-lint (unused,ineffassign,staticcheck) — no findings in the new code
  • Exercised against a real local corpus: 302 sessions across four agents; 260/269 Claude Code transcripts indexed (the 9 excluded are single-record bridge-session stubs), 14/14 Codex rollouts. Import → --resume verified end to end.
  • Mutation-checked: glob→walk, dropped symlink guard, gutted redaction, Codex union-type regression, tab filter in the wrong branch of applyQuery, removed failed-call withdrawal, oversized summary events, summaries emitted before the conversation — each fails its test.

Not included

Cursor, Cline, Roo, Windsurf, Continue, Aider, Grok, opencode and Gemini. Cursor and the VS Code family store chats in undocumented state.vscdb blobs with no stability guarantee, and none were installed on the machine this was built against — there is no fixture to test them against, so shipping them would be guesswork.

Known limits

Resume continues the work, not the process: the conversation, tool activity, cwd, branch and last state in flight are recoverable; the other agent's in-memory context, prompt cache and half-executed tool call are not. The activity summary is an activity log, not comprehension — it says what was done, never why.

Every one of these formats is a private, undocumented implementation detail of another product and will drift. That recurring maintenance, not the initial build, is the real cost — hence one small adapter per agent, each independently skippable, each pinned to checked-in fixtures so a format change fails a test rather than a user's import.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Discover and import sessions from Claude Code, Codex, Factory Droid, and Pi.

    • Browse sessions by agent with searchable, tabbed picker views.
    • View activity summaries for commands, searches, file changes, and failures.
  • Improvements
    • Imported sessions preserve metadata, tool results, reasoning, and continuation details where available.
    • Improved handling of malformed or oversized transcripts and faster workspace-specific discovery.
    • Strengthened secret redaction and display sanitization for imported content.

TUI interaction and presentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cross-agent resume integration
internal/tui/session.go, internal/tui/session_picker_tabs_test.go, internal/tui/session_import_note_test.go, internal/tui/model_test.go
Adds foreign-session discovery and import to /resume, agent-qualified references, source-agent metadata, sanitized titles, and empty-local-history handling.
Tabbed picker behavior and rendering
internal/tui/picker.go, internal/tui/model.go, internal/tui/view.go, internal/tui/session_picker_tabs_test.go
Adds agent tabs, cyclic Tab navigation, query-preserving filtering, case-insensitive tab matching, and responsive tab-strip rendering.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 60754

The PR adds local-session discovery, import, and resume, but current behavior can expose transcript-derived data in test failures, persist unredacted tool-result content, show false workspace warnings, and delay responses to interactive prompts. These bounded privacy and correctness risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

141-152: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Import indexes the whole foreign store twice for one session.

describe calls adapter.Discover(""), which head-reads every transcript in the store. The file comments report 1,266 files and 439 MB on one real machine. adapter.Read then globs the same store again to resolve the id. A single import therefore pays a full index plus a second directory scan, only to obtain the title, cwd, and model.

This is acceptable for a one-shot CLI import. It is worth reconsidering if the TUI picker imports on selection. Consider adding a Describe(id string) (ForeignSession, bool) method to Adapter so both the lookup and the read resolve the path once.

Key the memo by the normalized workspace path.

The map key is the raw cwd string. paths.go defines normalizeDir for exactly this problem: /tmp/proj, /tmp/proj/, and /private/tmp/proj are the same workspace, and sameDir treats them as equal. Here they produce three separate entries and three separate 300ms discoveries, and InvalidateDiscovery is the only thing that ever bounds the map size. Normalize the key once at entry.

Wire Shift+Tab to cycleTab(-1), or drop the backward path.

cycleTab accepts a negative delta, and TestCyclingBackwardsWraps exercises it, but no key binding reaches it. The Shift+Tab branch at line 1659 has no tabbed-picker case, so it falls to m.noBlockingModal(), which an open picker makes false. Shift+Tab therefore does nothing while the /resume strip is up.

Forward-only cycling works with three tabs. It stops being reasonable if a user has sessions from all four supported agents plus Zero, where reaching the previous tab costs four presses.

internal/tui/session_picker_tabs_test.go (1)

69-76: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add coverage for the imported-session dedup rule; this test cannot fail.

Two points.

TestAnAgentWithNoSessionsGetsNoTab builds a picker from zero and codex rows, then asserts that no tab is named factory or pi. sessionPickerTabs derives every tab from the items it receives, so the assertion holds by construction. The test documents intent but detects no regression.

More important is what is missing. foreignSessionItems skips any discovered session whose <agent>:<id> already appears as an import tag on a local session. That rule is what stops /resume from listing the same conversation twice — once as itself and once as its copy. No test in this file covers it, because every test here constructs pickerItem values directly and never exercises foreignSessionItems.

A table test over ParseImportTag inputs plus a fake discovery result would cover it. That needs the injectable agentsessions.Env discussed on internal/tui/model_test.go, so the two are worth doing together.

As per coding guidelines: "Every behavior or security-boundary change requires a regression test, including failure paths".

In `@internal/agentsessions/activity.go`:
- Around line 258-312: Update activityLog.summaryEvents to apply
maxSummaryEventChars to the fully assembled headline after adding the
toolBreakdown text, rather than relying on toolBreakdown’s independent
truncation. Preserve the existing count and breakdown content while ensuring the
emitted headline stays within the event budget, and extend the relevant summary
test with many unrecognised tool names to cover this case.
- Around line 89-118: Change activityLog deduplication to track claim counts
rather than booleans: update newActivityLog to initialize seen as
map[string]int, increment the bucket/value key in add, and decrement it in
withdraw. Remove the list entry and delete the key only when its count reaches
zero, preserving entries still referenced by other calls.

In `@internal/agentsessions/cache.go`:
- Around line 38-51: Update DiscoverAllCached so the discoveryMu lock is held
only while checking the cache and storing results, not while calling the slow
DiscoverAll operation. Unlock before discovery, allow concurrent misses
(including different workspaces) to proceed independently, then re-acquire the
lock to write the discovered entry and return the copied sessions and problems.

In `@internal/agentsessions/codex_test.go`:
- Around line 150-189: Gate TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses behind an explicit
opt-in environment variable, returning via t.Skip before accessing codexRoot,
OSEnv, or the developer’s transcripts when the variable is unset. Preserve the
existing live-corpus assertions for opted-in runs, and keep path-sensitive
behavior covered through a hermetic or non-Linux test rather than relying on
this live test.

In `@internal/agentsessions/paths.go`:
- Around line 97-117: Update globTranscripts in internal/agentsessions/paths.go
(lines 97-117) to reject matches with symlinked parent components and enforce
containment at open time using a rooted or handle-relative no-follow API,
including platform reparse-point protections; final-component Lstat alone is
insufficient. In internal/agentsessions/paths_test.go (lines 78-147), add
coverage where sessions/<slug> symlinks to a directory outside the store and
assert no transcript beneath it is returned.
- Around line 48-60: Update claudeCodeRoot and codexRoot so configured
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR or CODEX_HOME values are used only when absolute; treat
relative values like unset configuration and fall back to env.underHome with the
existing default subpaths.
- Around line 195-203: Update sameDir to compare normalized paths
case-insensitively when runtime.GOOS is Windows, while preserving the existing
case-sensitive comparison on other platforms. Add the runtime dependency to the
import block and keep the current empty-path rejection unchanged.

In `@internal/agentsessions/registry.go`:
- Around line 154-167: Update the import flow around store.Create and
store.AppendEvents to delete the newly created session via the sessions store’s
existing delete/remove operation when AppendEvents fails. Preserve the original
append error, but return a combined error if cleanup also fails; never delete
pre-existing sessions or report success after unsuccessful cleanup.

In `@internal/agentsessions/translate.go`:
- Around line 91-97: Full-read translators silently discard records truncated by
the 64 KiB stream limit; make truncation observable and emit a noteEvent for
each skipped truncated record. In internal/agentsessions/translate.go lines
91-97, update streamLines/readBoundedLine signaling and translateFamily1 to
distinguish truncation from ordinary unmarshal failures. Apply the same handling
in internal/agentsessions/codex.go lines 195-199 within translateCodex, while
preserving silent skipping for unrecognised or non-response records.
- Around line 189-201: Update capEvents so the omitted-event count includes
kept[0], using len(events)-(max-1) or the equivalent count, and pass that
corrected value to plural. Adjust the note text to use singular/plural verb
agreement, producing “was not imported” for one omitted event and “were not
imported” otherwise.

In `@internal/cli/sessions_import.go`:
- Around line 230-236: Replace the lexical filepath.Clean comparison in the
sessions import workspace check with the shared sessionMatchesWorkspace
predicate. Promote sessionMatchesWorkspace from internal/tui/session.go to an
appropriate shared package, update both callers to use it, and preserve the
existing empty-string behavior when the workspaces match or the current
directory cannot be determined.
- Around line 1-14: Add regression tests for the sessions discover and import
command flows, covering agent filtering, JSON output, failure exit codes, and
importWorkspaceWarning behavior. Include a non-Linux case that verifies
workspace path normalization, and use the command handlers and existing
session-test helpers to assert results and errors without changing production
behavior.

In `@internal/tui/model_test.go`:
- Around line 908-917: Thread an agentsessions.Env through the model and
session-picker construction so newSessionPicker and foreignSessionItems use the
injected environment instead of agentsessions.OSEnv(). In
internal/tui/model_test.go lines 908-917, build the model with a t.TempDir()
home to isolate discovery. In internal/tui/session_picker_tabs_test.go lines
69-76, use the same injected Env, add coverage for imported-session
deduplication in foreignSessionItems, and strengthen
TestAnAgentWithNoSessionsGetsNoTab so it genuinely verifies the no-tab behavior.

In `@internal/tui/session.go`:
- Around line 434-444: Update newSessionPicker to retain each session’s raw
update time on pickerItem, including items from both local assembly and
foreignSessionItems, then sort the merged items by recency before building the
picker. Add or reuse sortPickerItemsByRecency so sorting uses time.Time rather
than the formatted Label, while preserving per-agent item behavior.
- Around line 515-518: Guard session.UpdatedAt.IsZero() before formatting it, so
zero timestamps do not reach sessionWhen or sessionPickerLabel and produce a
year-1 date. Update the surrounding label logic in the session row path,
preferably by reusing or adding a typed time.Time variant of sessionWhen to
avoid converting the timestamp through RFC3339 text while preserving existing
behavior for populated timestamps.
- Around line 473-479: Move the synchronous agentsessions.Import call out of the
Bubble Tea Update path into a tea.Cmd that performs the import asynchronously
and returns a result message containing the session or error, then handle that

before rebuilding the picker. Review whether the import should set an explicit
MaxEvents limit instead of using uncapped ReadOptions{}.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

A failed call can withdraw a value another call recorded successfully.

add deduplicates by bucket + value, so two calls that touch the same path produce one entry. withdraw removes that single entry unconditionally. If call t1 reads parser.go and succeeds, and call t2 reads parser.go and fails, the successful read disappears from "Files read". The summary then understates the prior work, which is the failure mode this file exists to prevent.

Count the claims per key and withdraw only when the count reaches zero.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Discovery runs while the global lock is held.

DiscoverAll reads four transcript stores and costs 50-300ms per the comment at Lines 10-13. That call happens at Line 48 with discoveryMu held. Every other caller of DiscoverAllCached blocks for the full duration, including callers for a different workspace that already have a valid memo. The comment states the goal is to stop the TUI hitching; a global lock around the slow path reintroduces the hitch on a concurrent open.

Release the lock while discovering, then re-acquire it to store the entry. Accept that two concurrent misses may both discover; that is cheaper than serializing every caller.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Gate the live-corpus test behind an explicit opt-in.

This test reads the developer's real ~/.codex store during a normal go test ./.... Two consequences follow. First, the result depends on private local data, so the same commit passes on one machine and fails on another; the t.Error calls at Lines 183-188 report a defect that no change in this PR caused. Second, the test opens the contributor's real transcripts, and t.Logf reports counts derived from them.

Require an opt-in environment variable, so the default suite stays hermetic.

The coding guidelines state: "path-sensitive logic must include a non-Linux case or a hermetic equivalent exercising the same normalization."

Reject a relative redirect value instead of probing the working directory.

env.underHome returns "" when home is unknown, so discovery never probes a relative path. The redirect branches do not apply the same rule. If CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=.config/claude is set, claudeCodeRoot returns .config/claude/projects and discovery reads relative to the process working directory. Require an absolute path in both branches.

The session picker resolves its agent environment at the leaf, which makes TUI tests host-dependent and blocks the missing dedup test. newSessionPickerforeignSessionItems calls agentsessions.DiscoverAllCached(agentsessions.OSEnv(), m.cwd), and OSEnv reads the real os.UserHomeDir. One root cause produces both problems below: existing picker tests observe whatever transcripts the host happens to have, and no test can supply a controlled discovery result. Thread an agentsessions.Env through the model so both are fixable.

  • internal/tui/model_test.go#L908-L917: this test passes only on a machine with no Claude Code, Codex, Factory Droid, or Pi transcripts. Extra discovered rows break the "1 / 2" assertion on line 921. Build the model with an injected Env pointing at a t.TempDir() home.
  • internal/tui/session_picker_tabs_test.go#L69-L76: add a test for the imported-session dedup rule in foreignSessionItems, which currently has no coverage, and strengthen TestAnAgentWithNoSessionsGetsNoTab, which cannot fail as written. Both need the same injected Env.

As per coding guidelines: "Every behavior or security-boundary change requires a regression test, including failure paths".

Move foreign-session import off the Bubble Tea Update loop.

agentsessions.Import synchronously reads the transcript to EOF, translates all events, creates the session, and appends the events. ReadOptions{} sets no MaxEvents cap. A large transcript can therefore block rendering and input handling, including Ctrl+C, until the import completes.

Return a tea.Cmd that performs the import and sends a result message. Consider an explicit MaxEvents cap if full imports are not required.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Guard the zero UpdatedAt before formatting it.

session.UpdatedAt.Format(time.RFC3339) on a zero time.Time yields "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z". sessionWhen then parses a valid timestamp and returns a stamp for the year 1, which sessionPickerLabel prints. The CLI path guards this case explicitly — formatDiscoveredTime returns "" for a zero time.

ForeignSession.UpdatedAt falls back to the file modification time, so it is normally populated. An adapter that cannot stat the file leaves it zero, and that row then renders a January year-1 date.

The round trip through a string is also avoidable if sessionWhen gains a time.Time variant, since the value here is already typed.

 		label := displayValue(session.Title, "untitled")

Reviewed as a draft, so this is findings rather than a verdict. The design question you actually asked about is above my pay grade and needs @kevincodex1; what follows is whether the code does what it says.

The credential-safety work is the strongest part and it mostly holds. I checked the claims rather than taking them: the extension pin is case-insensitive, globTranscripts rejects symlinks because IsRegular() is false for them, and I confirmed by probe that a junction is rejected too. Two adversarial passes tried to turn the reparse-point gap into an escape and could not: creating a link under ~/.codex/sessions already requires write access to ~/.codex/sessions, and writing a transcript there directly reaches the same outcome with no link at all. The .jsonl pin plus the rollout-* pin plus Discover gating Import close the residual.

Two blocking, though.

The activity summary is emitted as EventCompaction, whose payload contract it does not satisfy. RehydrateEvents (replay.go:240) scans backwards for the last EventCompaction and restructures the transcript around it. A real CompactionPayload carries PreserveLast, CompactableEvents, PreservedEvents and CompactedThroughSequence — the bookkeeping saying which events the summary replaces. noteEvent writes {"summary": ...} and nothing else, so every one of those is zero, and rehydration reorders the imported transcript around a boundary that describes nothing. It decodes cleanly because the only validated field is Summary. Verified end to end through ImportReadRehydratedEventsPrepareExec. You picked the type because promptContextEvents already passes it; the same type has a second contract on the replay side.

Imported text carries control bytes into the terminal. The redaction chokepoint scrubs secrets, not control characters. Probed directly: "innocent title\x1b[2J\x1b[1;1H FORGED ROW \x00 tail" comes back byte-identical, ESC and NUL intact, and that string becomes a picker row and a transcript line. We have shipped this exact class twice in a fortnight: #835, where an MCP failure reason forged a row, and #876, where a copied NUL panicked the whole TUI. An imported title is strictly more attacker-influenced than either. sanitizeCardText already exists.

Two worth fixing before it leaves draft.

TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses and TestTheRealCorpusStillParses discover against the real ~/.codex and ~/.claude of whoever runs go test, and assert on what they find. The first fails at your head on this machine (indexed 2 of 2 rollouts; 2 titled, 0 with a model) because these rollouts carry turn_context past the 64-line head budget, which no change to the adapter can fix. CI passes only because the runner has no store to find. That inverts the usual bargain: green on CI, red for contributors. Worth a fixture.

The activity summary collapses successful and failed calls into one bucket per path. A successful Write /p/config.yaml followed by a failed Edit of the same path withdraws the claim entirely, so the summary reports no files changed although the file was rewritten. The withdraw logic is right in principle; it is keyed too coarsely.

Smaller: the family-1 slug fast path skips globSessionDirs, so the picker can list a session Import then refuses; name, toolCallId and role skip redact() while content and arguments get it, so the chokepoint comment is not literally true; capEvents understates the drop by one, and the note is the only thing telling the reader the import is partial; a tool call with no matching result keeps its claim, so an interrupted write reports as a file changed.

Two things I checked and am NOT raising, so you do not chase them. The Title field skipping redaction is real but pre-existing: createSessionTitle on main writes a raw prompt into metadata.json for native sessions too, and zero sessions list redacts at display. Your translate.go redaction is above baseline, not below it. And the reparse-point discovery gap is a documentation inaccuracy rather than a boundary crossing, for the reason above.

The engineering standard here is high: mutation-testing the glob and the redaction, exercising against 302 real sessions, and documenting the two pre-existing main failures instead of claiming a clean run. The two blocking items are both "this type/string has a second contract elsewhere", which is the hardest class to see from inside the change.

One correction to the blocking item above, since the sentence ran together: a real CompactionPayload carries PreserveLast, CompactableEvents, PreservedEvents and CompactedThroughSequence, which together record which events the summary stands in for. noteEvent sets only Summary, so all of them are zero, and rehydrateEventsWithCompaction restructures the imported transcript around a boundary that describes nothing.

The cheapest fix is probably a distinct event type rather than filling in the payload, since the import is not a compaction and pretending otherwise will keep colliding with replay, rewind and lineage. If promptContextEvents needs to pass it, adding the new type to that filter is a one-line change at exec_session.go:197.

Tested the latest head with real local session data. Discovery, CLI import, source tabs, and importing/resuming a selected session all work on the normal path.

I found three blockers:

  1. On a fresh Zero install with no local Zero sessions, /resume shows none even when foreign sessions are available. loadResumeSessions returns early when ListResumable() is empty, before adding foreign sessions. After creating one local session, those same foreign sessions appear.
  2. Imported activity summaries are emitted as compaction events without full compaction metadata. Rehydration treats them as structural compactions and can reorder the transcript; in my import, the final raw event was moved to the beginning after rehydration.
  3. Imported titles/content are not sanitized for terminal control bytes before picker rendering. A synthetic session title containing ESC and NUL bytes reached the /resume UI and was terminal-interpreted.

There is also a smaller UX concern: importing a 2,692-event session synchronously blocked the UI for about 0.86s on this machine.

Please fix at least the first three before merge.

Addressed the two blocking findings and re-requesting review. 5dcb824f, rebased onto current main (was 18 behind, no conflicts), CI green across all three OS smoke legs plus Security & code health.

Both blockers fixed

Imported text no longer carries control bytes into the terminal. redact() scrubbed secrets but not control characters, and the title, tool name, and ids skipped it entirely — so an imported title or message with ESC/NUL forged a picker row or corrupted a transcript line, the #835/#876 class on more attacker-influenced input. redact() now composes a stripControl pass (C0 except tab/newline, DEL, C1), and every rendered string — the title included, at the import chokepoint in registry.go — routes through control-stripping.

The activity summary is no longer an EventCompaction. You were right that the type carries a second contract on the replay side: I traced rehydrateEventsWithCompaction and a summary with no CompactableEvents/CompactedThroughSequence is hoisted to the front of the transcript on resume. It's now an assistant EventMessage, which still passes promptContextEvents (the resume digest) with none of that restructuring. A payload marker (NoteEventIsSummary) keeps it distinguishable from a translated turn, so the digest and any filter can tell a Zero-generated summary from the foreign transcript.

Also fixed the import-tag comment to match ImportTag's actual output.

Tests: regression coverage for both, mutation-checked — removing the control strip surfaces the surviving byte (I caught and fixed a first vacuous version where json.Marshal was escaping the bytes and hiding them), and the summary type is asserted not to be EventCompaction. Existing tests moved off the old EventCompaction type check to the shared NoteEventIsSummary marker.

Not in this pass — follow-ups I'd like your read on

Deliberately scoped this to the two blockers. Still open from your review, and I'll take them next: the activity summary's success/failure keying being too coarse (a failed edit withdrawing a successful write of the same path), the tool-call-without-a-result still claiming its file, the capEvents off-by-one, the family-1 slug fast path that lists a session then refuses to import it, and the real-corpus tests discovering against a contributor's actual ~/.claude/~/.codex — the fixture you suggested. Happy to fold those into this PR or stack them; your call given it's still a draft-sized change.

@Vasanthdev2004 re-review when you have a moment — thanks for the two-contract catches, those were the hard ones to see from inside the change.

Pushed a follow-up addressing all outstanding review points. Rebased onto latest main (clean, no conflicts); the branch is now at 8689da21. Each fix ships a mutation-verified regression test (revert the production line → the test fails).

@coderabbitai — redact terminal-visible structural fields
role, name, and toolCallId came from the foreign transcript but used only stripControl. They now route through redact() (secret-redaction and control-stripping), applied identically to both tool-call-id sites so call↔result pairing survives — redact is deterministic. Regression: TestStructuralFieldsAreRedacted (a credential hidden in role/name/toolCallId must not survive; the redacted ids must still match).

@Vasanthdev2004 — activity summary, coarse success/failure keying
The log withdrew a failed call's claim by value, so a successful Write /p/config.yaml followed by a failed Edit of the same path erased the change. Reworked to commit-on-success: a path is recorded only when its call's result confirms success, so a failed call simply never commits and cannot erase a different call's success. Regression: TestASuccessfulWriteSurvivesALaterFailedEditOfTheSamePath.

@Vasanthdev2004 — tool call with no result still claiming its file
Same commit-on-success change fixes this: an interrupted call whose result never arrives stays pending and is dropped, so it no longer reports its file as changed. Regression: TestAnInterruptedWriteWithNoResultDoesNotClaimTheFile.

The trim note occupies one of the kept slots, displacing one more original event than len-max. The reported count now includes it (41 not imported, not 40). Regression strengthened in TestCappingKeepsTheTailAndSaysSo to assert the exact count.

@Vasanthdev2004 — slug fast path skips globSessionDirs (list-then-refuse)
The fast path globbed straight through a symlinked project directory that findTranscript (via globSessionDirs) Lstat-skips, so Discover could list a session Import then refused. The fast path now narrows within globSessionDirs' symlink-safe set, making the divergence structurally impossible. Regression: TestASymlinkedSlugDirectoryIsNotListedThenRefused (invariant: anything Discover lists, Read must import).

@Vasanthdev2004 — real-corpus tests only run against a live ~/.claude/~/.codex
Added checked-in Claude Code and Codex fixtures under testdata/ (generic invented work, no real transcript) and TestThe{ClaudeCode,Codex}FixtureParsesEndToEnd, which point the real adapters at them via CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/CODEX_HOME. The format-pin now runs deterministically in CI where the live-store tests skip.

Verification: gofmt, go vet, go build ./..., go test ./internal/agentsessions/ -race, release build + smoke, cross-compiled linux/windows, git diff --check — all clean. (One unrelated pre-existing failure, TestRunDoctorConnectivityProbesProvider, reproduces on untouched origin/main in this sandbox — a real-environment provider/config probe, not touched here.)

@gnanam1990 I found two blocking issues.

  1. /resume still hides foreign sessions on a fresh installation.
    In internal/tui/session.go, Line 405 calls ListResumable(). Line 406 returns nil when there are no local sessions. This return occurs before Line 447 calls foreignSessionItems. A user with zero local Zero sessions still gets the fallback none result, even when discovery finds foreign sessions. Build the local item list first, then append foreignSessionItems, and return nil only when the combined list is empty. Add a regression test with an empty local store and a discovered foreign session.

  2. Foreign titles still bypass terminal safety and secret redaction in /resume.
    In internal/tui/session.go, Line 518 passes ForeignSession.Title directly to displayValue, which only handles an empty value. An unimported Claude Code aiTitle, Factory title, or Codex-derived title can therefore inject ESC/NUL bytes into the picker before import. After import, internal/agentsessions/registry.go, Line 161 applies only stripControl, so a credential in the title also remains visible in the imported-session picker row. Apply redact to foreign titles before every picker render, and persist the redacted title at import. Add tests for an unimported title with control bytes and a title containing a credential.

The activity-claim, interrupted-call, event-cap, slug-directory, structural event-field, and fixture changes are correct.

Test redaction for failed tool output.

TestSecretsInToolArgumentsAreRedacted only uses a successful tool result. Add a failed tool result that contains the secret in its output. Assert that the encoded events do not contain the secret. Otherwise, an error-path leak can pass this suite.

As per coding guidelines, “Keep secrets out of command-line arguments, environment dumps, and logs; redact both success and error paths, including stderr.”

Test carriage-return stripping through translation.

The tests cover ESC, NUL, and BEL, but not \r. A carriage return can overwrite terminal or picker text. Include \r in both the translation test and the stripControl unit test. Otherwise, a carriage-return regression can pass this suite.

As per coding guidelines, “Every behavior or security-boundary change requires a regression test, including failure paths.”

Re-reviewed at 8689da21, this time as a verdict rather than notes, since it is out of draft. Ran it on Windows.

Both of my August blockers are properly closed, and I checked rather than took the commit titles.

noteEvent is now EventMessage with a noteEventSummaryKey marker instead of EventCompaction, so it no longer lands on a type whose replay contract it could not satisfy. That was the harder of the two to see, and the fix is the right shape: a marker on a type that has no side effect, rather than a payload padded out to look like a compaction.

Structural fields are redacted now too. role, name and toolCallId all route through redact(), so the chokepoint comment is literally true where it previously was not.

The control-byte fix introduced a different bug, and it is the one I would block on.

func redact(value string) string {
    return stripControl(redaction.RedactString(value, redaction.Options{}))
}

Redaction runs FIRST and matches by shape. stripControl then deletes the control byte with no separator, so it rejoins. A secret split by one therefore survives redaction and is reassembled afterwards, which is exactly backwards from what the chokepoint promises.

Proven here against the real redact, every key shape and every splitter:

unsplit    -> "token [REDACTED] end"
NUL        -> "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"
ESC        -> "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"
backspace  -> "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"
C1         -> "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"

Same for ghp_ and AKIA. The unsplit value redacts correctly, which is what makes this easy to miss: the tests that exist all use unsplit values.

This matters more here than almost anywhere, because the input is a foreign transcript. That is untrusted by construction, and the whole feature is reading it.

The fix is the order, one line:

return redaction.RedactString(stripControl(value), redaction.Options{})

I verified that closes it. Every splitter above then gives token [REDACTED] end.

Worth saying plainly that this is the same defect as #835, where an MCP failure reason was redacted before the terminal sanitizer rejoined the halves. Two packages, same ordering, both written to be careful about exactly this. It is a genuinely non-obvious trap, and the general rule is worth writing down somewhere: normalize first, match second, because any normalizer that removes bytes without leaving a gap is also a reassembler. A regression with a split value belongs next to the existing redaction tests.

Still open from August: the real-corpus test fails for anyone with a real store.

--- FAIL: TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses
    codex_test.go:177: indexed 2 of 2 rollouts; 2 titled, 0 with a model
    codex_test.go:187: no session got a model — turn_context is being discarded again

Same failure and same cause as in August: these rollouts carry turn_context past the 64-line head budget. It passes on CI only because the runner has no ~/.codex to discover. That is the wrong way round, green for the robot and red for the contributor, and it is the first thing a new reviewer hits. A fixture pinning the past-the-budget case would make it deterministic and would test the adapter rather than whatever happens to be on the reviewer's disk.

Also, the branch is one commit behind main (cabfeef against 2d2450e9). Worth rebasing so it is reviewed against the tree it will land on.

Everything else I raised as smaller in August has been addressed, and go build ./... and gofmt are clean here.

The standard in this change is high, and both of the hard structural problems I raised were fixed properly rather than papered over. The ordering bug only shows up if you go looking with a split value, so no criticism in it having survived. Happy to re-review quickly.

Pushed 582fa47b fixing the redaction order myself rather than handing it back, since it was a one-line swap and I already had the probe that proved it.

// before
return stripControl(redaction.RedactString(value, redaction.Options{}))
// after
return redaction.RedactString(stripControl(value), redaction.Options{})

The regression covers three key shapes against five splitters (NUL, ESC, backspace, DEL, C1) and fails against the old order with the intact credential in the output.

Two things about the test worth knowing, because both are traps I walked into writing it.

The C1 literal was lost somewhere between my editor and the file, leaving an empty splitter, and strings.Contains(x, "") is always true, so the test failed against the correct fix while reporting the wrong reason. It now uses string(rune(0x85)) and asserts the splitter is non-empty, so a lost literal fails loudly instead of quietly proving nothing.

There is also a newline case, so the fix cannot degrade into "strip everything and call it redaction". A newline survives stripping and therefore separates rather than rejoins, and it is legitimate transcript content.

Two items from my review are still open, so this is not ready yet:

  • TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses still fails on any machine with a real ~/.codex. Unchanged by this push, and it is your call how to fixture it since you know what those rollouts look like.
  • The branch is one commit behind main (cabfeef against 2d2450e9).

The rest of the change is in good shape, and both structural problems from August are properly closed. Shout when the corpus test is fixtured and I will re-run the whole thing here.

Re-reviewed at 582fa47b. The ordering blocker is properly closed and I checked it rather than reading the commit title.

redact is RedactString(stripControl(value)) now, and redaction_order_test.go is load-bearing. I reverted the one line and ran it:

--- FAIL: TestASecretSplitByAControlByteIsStillRedacted/anthropic_key/NUL
    a credential split by NUL was reassembled after redaction and reached the
    output: "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"

Every splitter, every shape. That is a test that would have caught the bug, which is the part that usually goes missing. The comment you left on it carries the general rule forward too, which I would rather have than the fix alone.

One thing left, and it is the same one from August.

The real-corpus tests still fail for anyone with a real store, and there are two of them now

--- FAIL: TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses
    indexed 2 of 2 rollouts; 2 titled, 0 with a model
    no session got a model — turn_context is being discarded again

--- FAIL: TestTheRealCorpusStillParses
    indexed 15 of 21 real transcripts (71%) — too many are being dropped

Both pass on CI only because the runner has no store to discover. Green for the robot, red for the contributor, and it is the first thing the next reviewer hits before they have read a line of the feature. TestTheRealCorpusStillParses is new since I last looked, so the pattern is spreading rather than being retired.

The fix I would take is a fixture pinning the past-the-budget turn_context case and whatever shape the 6 dropped transcripts have. That tests the adapter instead of testing whatever happens to be on the reviewer's disk, and it turns the 71% into a number that means something. A clean t.Skip when no store exists would at least stop it being a false red, but it would also stop it finding anything, so I would rather have the fixture.

This is the only thing standing between the branch and my approval. Ping me and I will turn it around quickly.

Two smaller things

The branch is 2 behind main, and those two commits are #890 and #903. #903 is the Go 1.26.6 bump, so a rebase clears the vulncheck red on this PR rather than you having to explain it.

Minor, Windows only: internal/agentsessions/testdata/codex-home/sessions/2026/08/01/rollout-2026-08-01T10-00-00-fixture0-0000-0000-0000-000000000001.jsonl is about 130 characters repo-relative. Checking the branch out under a deep parent path fails outright with Filename too long. It checks out fine from a short root, so this is a nit rather than a blocker, but Windows is a required platform and that is not much headroom. Shortening the fixture stem would cost nothing.

Three separate changes hit this in a fortnight, each written by someone
being careful about exactly the thing that got them.

A transform that removes bytes without leaving a gap is also a
reassembler. Redaction that matches by shape, run before a sanitizer that
strips control bytes, lets a credential split by a NUL or an ESC pass the
patterns as two fragments and be rejoined on the way out: the MCP failure
reason in #835, and the imported-transcript chokepoint in #878. The path
form of the same mistake is comparing where a handle landed against a
value produced by the same resolver the kernel just used, so a redirect
agrees with itself: the ACL guard in #808, where junctions were caught
only by an accident of Go's mode bits and directory symlinks were not
caught at all.

The unsplit value passing is what makes it survive review, so the note
says the test needs a split case.

@Vasanthdev2004 — all three fixed at ad57dd3c. You were right about the blocker and the mechanism turned out to be worse than a threshold set too tight.

I reproduced your numbers exactly

I couldn't reproduce the failure by running the tests, because they pass here — 44 of 44 rollouts with 43 models, 360 of 367 transcripts. That is the bug. Both tests assert statistics over whatever store the machine has, which isn't a property of this package.

So I built a store shaped like yours and ran the tests at 582fa47b against it:

codex_test.go:184: no session got a real title — the context-injection filter has stopped working
codex_test.go:187: no session got a model — turn_context is being discarded again
--- FAIL: TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses
family1_test.go:253: indexed 15 of 21 real transcripts (71%) — too many are being dropped
--- FAIL: TestTheRealCorpusStillParses

Your output, verbatim. Against the same store this branch passes and explains itself:

no session in the live store carries a model: every rollout here has its turn_context
outside the head budget. TestARolloutWithALateTurnContextIndexesWithoutAModel pins that
shape deterministically (2 rollouts)

What the shapes are

The model. turn_context is the only record carrying one — I enumerated payload keys across the real 44-rollout store and session_meta has no model key at all. It lands at line 4–8 and byte offset 15KB–175KB here, inside the budget; outside it on yours. The session is still listed, titled, addressable and importable — only the label is missing — and Discover walks the whole date-partitioned store on every picker open, so I kept the bounded read and pinned the current behaviour. The comment says that teaching the index to recover it should fail that test deliberately rather than drift.

The drops. cwd is only carried by user, attachment and system records; the preamble types never carry it. All 7 misses here are single bridge-session stubs — legitimate, since a session with no workspace can't be resumed into one.

But there is a real defect behind the same verdict, and nothing distinguishes them in the output. The cwd-bearing record is subject to MaxLineBytes; a truncated record fails to parse and is skipped whole. That is already happening to the opening user record in 30 of 367 transcripts here — they survive only because Claude Code writes a small attachment next that also carries cwd. 73 of the 360 indexed sessions (20%) take their cwd from an attachment rather than the user record that should have supplied it. One without that rescue vanishes and looks exactly like a stub. This may well be some of your 6. TestAWorkspaceInAnOverlongRecordIsStillFound pins it.

The two smaller ones

  • Rebased. Your note said 2 behind; it was 14 by the time I got to it. Clean, merged tree builds.
  • Windows paths: longest testdata path 133 → 108 chars. The trailing uuid is kept because codexID reads the session id from it.

The live-store tests now report their counts instead of asserting them. They still fail hard on a non-empty store indexing nothing, and on an index entry missing a field the CLI prints — the parts that are about the code rather than about the disk.

Three mutations, each caught by its own test: removing the cwd guard indexes both unresumable stubs; shrinking MaxLineBytes drops the long-cwd session; raising MaxLines lets the head scan reach the late turn_context.

One thing I did not do. The import path discards a model it already has: translateCodex streams the entire file, so every byte of turn_context is read and thrown away, and the imported session takes ModelID from the head-bounded index entry instead. Fixing it costs zero extra IO but needs the Adapter.Read signature to return metadata alongside events — a change across all four adapters. That felt like scope I shouldn't take unilaterally on a draft with no parent issue yet. Say the word and I'll do it here, otherwise it's a clean follow-up.

@coderabbitai — addressed at ad57dd3c. The newline case now asserts what its comment claimed: both halves are named and the absence of any [REDACTED] is checked. The newline assertion alone passed just as well if the matcher spanned the newline and redacted both halves as one, since the separator would survive inside a redaction that ate the text around it. Mutation-checked by removing the tab/newline exemption from stripControl: all four assertions fire. The distinction it pins — newline blocks the match, NUL is stripped and rejoins — is what stops stripControl being widened later in a way that would make the NUL test pass for the wrong reason.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@gnanam1990 Confirmed. The strengthened newline case now verifies the required boundary behavior:

  • stripControl removes NUL and re-forms a split credential for redaction.
  • stripControl preserves newlines, so the matcher does not join and redact separate text.
  • The test rejects an unexpected [REDACTED] marker across the newline boundary.

This closes the redaction-order regression coverage.

Learning: In `internal/agentsessions`, sanitize imported text by applying `stripControl` before `redaction.RedactString`. `stripControl` must preserve tabs and newlines: removable control bytes can rejoin credential fragments for redaction, while a newline must remain a boundary that prevents matching across separate transcript content.

Close the run-details overlay when a blocking prompt arrives.

The overlay is opened only when m.noBlockingModal() is true. A permissionRequestMsg or askUserRequestMsg can still land while the overlay is open during a run. In that state this branch swallows every key except Esc and the toggle binding, so the approval hotkeys and Enter do not reach the prompt. The user must first press Esc to discover the prompt is answerable.

Detect theme-save failure with a value, not a substring. Both sites decide whether to show a success notice by searching the handler's prose for "could not save theme preference".

Gate local-session corpus tests behind explicit opt-in and use fixed failure diagnostics.

These tests inspect contributors’ local session stores during a normal test run. A failure currently formats transcript-derived fields such as title, working directory, or path, which can expose local data in test output. Require explicit opt-in before reading the local store, and replace the full record dump with a fixed diagnostic that names only the missing invariant.

Comment thread internal/agentsessions/family1_test.go
Comment thread internal/tui/session.go Outdated
Comment thread internal/tui/session.go Outdated
Adds internal/agentsessions, which reads the sessions Claude Code, Codex,
Factory Droid and Pi leave on the local disk and translates them into Zero
session events.

Four agents, two parsers. Claude Code, Factory Droid and Pi independently
arrived at the same layout — one JSONL file per session under a directory
named after the working directory, with text/thinking/tool_use/tool_result
content blocks — so one family-1 parser serves all three. Codex differs
enough to need its own: date-partitioned directories and every record
wrapped in a "payload" object.

Three rules hold throughout, each enforced by a test rather than left to
care:

  1. Read-only. Nothing here writes to, moves or locks another agent's
     store.

  2. Path-exact globs, never a directory walk. Every one of these agents
     keeps live credentials in the same tree as its transcripts —
     ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.grok/auth.json, ~/.factory/auth.v2.key, and
     most pointedly ~/.pi/agent/auth.json, the direct sibling of
     ~/.pi/agent/sessions/. Discovery uses fixed-depth globs pinned to one
     extension, rejects symlinks by Lstat, and resolves session ids by
     comparing glob results rather than joining an id onto a root.

  3. Imported text is untrusted input and passes through
     internal/redaction at a single chokepoint before reaching the event
     log.

Discovery is a bounded head read (64 lines / 2 MiB), never a full parse:
the corpus this was built against is 439 MB across 1,266 files with a
single 73 MB transcript in it. The byte budget is sized from measurement —
three real sessions open with a ~334 KB record, and a 256 KiB budget was
spent before reaching the record carrying cwd, dropping those sessions from
discovery with no error anywhere.

The slugged directory name is treated as a hint only. It is lossy —
"-Users-x-dev-zero" is what both /Users/x/dev/zero and /Users/x/dev-zero
produce — so it narrows the search and the cwd recorded inside the
transcript decides.

Also emits an activity summary as EventCompaction events, because
sessions.promptContextEvents passes messages but not tool events: without
this the model continuing the work sees none of the files read, commands
run or errors hit. Zero's own compaction cannot substitute, since
toolPayloadPreview allow-lists id/name/toolName/status and drops the
arguments and output this needs. Each summary event stays under the
digest's 500-character per-event budget, and a call whose result failed
withdraws its claim so a Read of a nonexistent path is never reported as a
file that was read.

The architecture is coherent and the existing credential-boundary work is strong, but two core import/display contracts remain broken:

  1. [P1] Full import must not silently discard JSONL records over 64 KiB. Both translators call streamLines with defaultHeadLimit.MaxLineBytes, the discovery-time 64 KiB per-line cap. An ordinary long user or assistant message is truncated into invalid JSON and skipped with no error or truncation event. I reproduced this on 0db68be with a ~65 KiB assistant message: translation returned only the preceding user event and gave no indication that content was omitted. Full import should preserve bounded content with an explicit truncation marker, or at minimum emit an event saying which record was not imported; silent loss makes the resumed conversation look complete when it is not.

  2. [P1] Sanitize and redact every foreign field at CLI/TUI display boundaries. formatDiscoveredSessions prints foreign IDs, titles, branches, and models directly. A synthetic foreign ID/title containing ANSI escapes and an API-key-shaped value reached terminal output unchanged. The TUI's sanitizePickerLabel removes controls but still exposes the secret, confirming the latest CodeRabbit title-redaction concern. Import confirmation/workspace notes contain similar raw foreign fields. Normalize controls first, then apply secret redaction everywhere foreign metadata is rendered; JSON output is already structurally escaped and redacted.

Nonblocking: sameDir still relies on EvalSymlinks plus string equality, which can miss Windows junction/case aliases, and the empty-local-history test should exercise newSessionPicker directly rather than only pickerFromParts.

All CI checks are green. Clean race suites pass for internal/agentsessions and the focused CLI/TUI paths, and a real synthetic-transcript CLI smoke test confirmed normal discovery/import behavior.

…elds are

redacted wherever they are drawn

Both P1s from @anandh8x on 0db68be, plus the two CodeRabbit comments that
overlap them.

## P1: a full import silently deleted ordinary long messages

Both translators passed the DISCOVERY per-line cap to streamLines. 64 KiB is the
right budget for the index — it is paid once per file across the entire store —
and the wrong one for an import, which is a deliberate one-off read of a single
file the user named. A single assistant reply over 64 KiB was truncated into
invalid JSON, skipped as unparsable, and Read returned no error.

Reproduced on 0db68be with a 65 KiB reply:

  Read err=<nil>, events=2
    [0] {"content":"short question","role":"user"}
    [1] {"content":"follow up after the big one","role":"user"}

The reply is simply gone. That is worse than incomplete: the restored transcript
reads as a question, no answer, then the user's follow-up, so the person
resuming it and the model continuing it both see a conversation that looks
whole. Same call in codex.go, same result.

Imports now use importLineLimit (8 MiB) — still bounded, since a corrupt file
must not exhaust memory. A record past even that is no longer dropped in
silence: readBoundedLineTruncated reports that bytes were discarded, and the
translators emit an EventError naming how many records could not be read. It is
an error event rather than a message because it is a note about the transcript,
not a turn anybody took, and a model continuing the session must not read it as
one.

## P1: foreign metadata reached the terminal unsanitized and unredacted

formatDiscoveredSessions printed the id, title, branch and model straight out of
another product's file. The picker learned to strip control bytes in the last
commit, but stripping is not redaction — and a title is very often the user's
first prompt, which is exactly where a pasted key ends up.

agentsessions.DisplayField does both, in one place, in the order
redaction_order_test.go already pins for the transcript path: controls first, so
a secret split by an escape byte is reassembled before the shape match runs, then
redaction. Newlines go too, unlike the transcript helper, because a metadata
field is drawn as one row.

sanitizePickerLabel is removed rather than left beside it — one helper doing half
the job next to one doing all of it is how the halves drift apart.

## The two nonblocking notes

Both reviewers asked for the empty-history case to go through newSessionPicker
itself rather than only the extracted pickerFromParts. They were right:
pickerFromParts is the piece added while fixing that bug, so testing only it
leaves the branch that was actually wrong uncovered at its entry point.

NOT done, and not forgotten: sameDir still uses EvalSymlinks plus string
equality, which can miss Windows junction and case aliases. That is a real gap

@anandh8x — both P1s fixed at fea5a565. The first one was worse than the description and I want to show that, because it changes how serious it is.

P1-1: silent loss, reproduced

Confirmed on 0db68bef with a 65 KiB assistant reply:

Read err=<nil>, events=2
  [0] {"content":"short question","role":"user"}
  [1] {"content":"follow up after the big one","role":"user"}

The reply isn't truncated — it's absent, and Read reports success. So the restored transcript reads as a question, no answer, then the user's follow-up. Both the person resuming it and the model continuing it see a conversation that looks complete. That's not lossy, it's misleading.

Cause exactly as you said: both translators passed defaultHeadLimit.MaxLineBytes to streamLines. 64 KiB is right for the index — paid once per file across the whole store — and wrong for an import, which is a deliberate one-off read of one file the user named.

Fixed both ways you suggested rather than either:

  • Imports use importLineLimit (8 MiB), still bounded so a corrupt file can't exhaust memory. A 65 KiB reply now imports whole.
  • A record past that is no longer dropped silently — readBoundedLineTruncated reports discarded bytes and the translators emit an EventError naming how many records couldn't be read. An error event, not a message, because it's a note about the transcript rather than a turn anybody took; a model continuing the session must not read it as one.

P1-2: sanitize then redact, everywhere

You're right that sanitizePickerLabel was only half the job. agentsessions.DisplayField now does both in one place — controls first so a secret split by an escape byte is reassembled before the shape match, then redaction — and it's applied to the id, title, branch and model in formatDiscoveredSessions as well as the picker row. Newlines are stripped too, unlike the transcript helper, since a metadata field is drawn as one row.

I deleted sanitizePickerLabel rather than leaving it alongside: one helper doing half the job next to one doing all of it is how the halves drift apart.

Your two nonblocking notes

The newSessionPicker one I took — you and CodeRabbit both flagged it and you were right. pickerFromParts is the piece I extracted while fixing that bug, so testing only it left the branch that was actually wrong uncovered at its real entry point.

sameDir I have not fixed, deliberately. EvalSymlinks plus string equality genuinely can miss Windows junction and case aliases. But I'm on macOS, and the honest options are a test I can't run or an assertion written blind — neither of which tells you whether it works. I'd rather leave it named in the commit message than claim it. If you want it in this PR, it needs someone with a Windows box to verify.

Four mutations, each caught by its own test: restoring the discovery cap drops the long reply; removing the marker makes the over-cap record vanish again; DisplayField without redaction leaks the key into the picker row; redacting before stripping controls lets a NUL-split key through.

@coderabbitai — both taken at fea5a565, and they overlapped @anandh8x's P1-2. The picker label now goes through agentsessions.DisplayField, which strips controls and then applies redaction.RedactString — the order matters and is asserted: redacting first lets a NUL-split credential through, which is the same ordering redaction_order_test.go pins for the transcript path. Same helper is applied to the id, title, branch and model in the CLI's formatDiscoveredSessions, which was printing all four raw. The empty-local-history case now exercises newSessionPicker directly as you asked — pickerFromParts was extracted while fixing that bug, so testing only it left the branch that was wrong uncovered at its entry point.

@gnanam1990 Confirmed. agentsessions.DisplayField now applies control stripping before redaction for picker and CLI metadata fields. The direct newSessionPicker test also covers the empty-local-history path.

Learning: In the Go `internal/agentsessions` package, use `agentsessions.DisplayField` for discovered-session metadata rendered in a single-line UI or CLI field, including IDs, titles, branches, and model IDs. `DisplayField` strips control characters, including newlines, before applying `redaction.RedactString`; this prevents terminal injection and redacts credentials split by removable control bytes.

@Vasanthdev2004 — ready for another look at fea5a565 when you have time.

Your blocker is fixed: both corpus shapes are pinned by fixture now rather than measured off the reviewer's disk. I could not reproduce your failure by running the tests — they pass here — so I built a store shaped like yours and got your output verbatim on 582fa47b, then confirmed it passes with a diagnosis on this head. Rebase and the Windows path length are done too.

Since your review, @anandh8x found two P1s that are also fixed here — one of them serious: a full import was silently deleting any message over 64 KiB, so a restored conversation read as a question, no answer, then the follow-up.

Lines 29-42 describe defaultHeadLimit, but there is no blank line before the importLineLimit comment. Go attaches the whole block at lines 29-48 to const importLineLimit, so importLineLimit documents the wrong values and defaultHeadLimit has no doc comment at all.

Add direct coverage for the truncated flag.

These tests pass func([]byte, bool) bool and discard the second parameter, so no test in this file pins the new truncation contract. The flag now drives user-visible behavior: the import path drops the record and appends an error event when it is set. Only TestARecordPastTheImportCapIsReportedNotDropped exercises it, and only far past the cap.

Add table cases against readBoundedLineTruncated for: content shorter than keep, content exactly keep, content longer than keep, and a \r\n-terminated record at each of those sizes. The exact-cap cases are the ones that currently report truncated = true for the terminator alone (see the comment on internal/agentsessions/jsonl.go lines 146-169).

The real-corpus blocker is closed. The two tests are fixture-driven now instead of reading whatever store the reviewer happens to have, which is what I asked for, and they are real fixtures rather than a deletion or a skip. Thank you for taking the harder version of that.

One thing from the same commit, and it is the shape I keep running into rather than anything careless.

TestAWorkspaceInAnOverlongRecordIsStillFound does not exercise an overlong record. The fixture's cwd-bearing line is 1024 bytes and defaultHeadLimit.MaxLineBytes is 64 << 10, so it sits 64x under the boundary it is named for. It only starts reacting if the production constant is cut to 512, which no regression would ever do.

The name is also the opposite of what the code does. Feeding a cwd record in at increasing sizes against the real cap: 1 KiB indexes the session, 60 KiB indexes it, 70 KiB does not, 200 KiB does not. A workspace in a genuinely overlong record is not still found. The whole session disappears from the picker, and the test's own Fatal string concedes it by talking about a record that "fits the real per-line cap".

That matters more than one misnamed test because two comments added alongside it tell the next reviewer the case is handled: the header here, and family1_test.go:266 describing the known defect as a cwd past MaxLineBytes. Your own header even names the failure mode exactly, that a session with no small following record "would vanish, and would look like a legitimate stub". So the analysis is right and only the coverage claim is wrong.

Either is fine by me. Make the fixture actually exceed MaxLineBytes and assert what really happens, renaming it to match, or keep the current fixture and rename it to what it pins, with the comments corrected so nobody reads the gap as closed. I would rather have an honestly named gap than a test whose name says it is covered.

Nothing else from this round is blocking. The redaction ordering work and the control-byte handling both hold up.

…six review

findings

@Vasanthdev2004 on the test I wrote, and six from CodeRabbit. Two of the
CodeRabbit ones are bugs I introduced in fea5a56.

## The test claimed coverage it did not have

TestAWorkspaceInAnOverlongRecordIsStillFound used a 1 KiB record against a
64 KiB cap — 64x under the boundary it was named for, so it only reacted if the
production constant was cut to 512, which no regression would do. And the name
asserts the opposite of the behaviour. Measured against the real cap:

  1 KiB   -> indexed
  60 KiB  -> indexed
  70 KiB  -> NOT indexed
  200 KiB -> NOT indexed

A workspace in a genuinely overlong record is lost. Worse than the misnaming,
two comments added beside it told the next reviewer the case was handled, and
the header even described the failure mode correctly while the test denied it.

Renamed to TestAWorkspaceOnlyInAnOverlongRecordIsLost, driven across all four
sizes against defaultHeadLimit.MaxLineBytes rather than a hardcoded number, and
asserting what actually happens on each side of the boundary. The comment at
family1_test.go now says the two pinned shapes are pinned as different things:
"no cwd anywhere" as correct behaviour, "cwd only past MaxLineBytes" as an OPEN
defect whose loss is asserted. An honestly named gap beats a test whose name
says it is covered.

## Two bugs from the previous commit

TERMINATOR COUNTED AS CONTENT. dropped included the trailing newline, so a
record whose content exactly filled the cap reported as truncated — and CRLF was
one byte worse. The import path emitted "could not be read" for records it had
read in full, which is a false alarm in the one signal that exists to be
trusted.

  "\n"   content=64 keep=64 -> truncated=true   (want false)
  "\r\n" content=63 keep=64 -> truncated=true   (want false)

OMITTED-RECORDS WORDING. The marker said "the conversation below" while both
translators append it after the events.

## Four more

scanHead reported success on every non-EOF read error, so a session indexed off
whatever bytes arrived before an I/O failure was indistinguishable from one
indexed off a whole file. EOF is now the only clean stop.

scanHead opened with os.Open. globTranscripts already refuses a symlink wearing
a transcript extension, but that verdict describes the tree at glob time and
anything can replace the entry before the open. openContained resolves through
an os.Root on the store root, so containment holds at the moment of the read.

stripControl and DisplayField now drop category Cf. unicode.IsControl correctly
says a format character is not a control character, which is the problem: U+202E
reorders everything after it, so "gnp.txt.exe" behind an override renders as an
image file while every byte stays innocent.

Four CLI output sites now pass through DisplayField — the discovery warning, the
parse and import error text, and the imported session id. An error string is not
automatically safe: these wrap paths and ids read out of another agent's store.

## On my own mutation discipline

The first pass at verifying these fixes found three surviving mutations, because
I had fixed three things without regression tests — the same shape of mistake
being reviewed above. Tests added for all of them, and the four mutations now
fail: counting the terminator breaks 3 boundary cases, swallowing non-EOF errors
breaks the read-failure test, dropping Cf lets 10 format characters through, and
opening directly reads a file from outside the store root.

An earlier run of those mutations reported all-clean because a literal BOM in the
new test made the package fail to compile. A mutation against a package that does
not build is indistinguishable from a test that holds.

go test -race ./internal/agentsessions/ ./internal/tui/: clean. Rebased, 0 behind.

@Vasanthdev2004 — you're right, and thank you for measuring it rather than just reading the name. Fixed at bfdfdb4a.

I reproduced your numbers exactly against the real cap:

1 KiB   -> indexed
60 KiB  -> indexed
70 KiB  -> NOT indexed
200 KiB -> NOT indexed

So the test was named for the opposite of what the code does, and the 1 KiB fixture sat 64x under the boundary it claimed to guard — it only reacted if the production constant was cut to 512, which no regression would do.

I took the first of your two options: the fixture now drives all four sizes against defaultHeadLimit.MaxLineBytes rather than a hardcoded number, and asserts what actually happens on each side. Renamed to TestAWorkspaceOnlyInAnOverlongRecordIsLost.

The part that bothered me most is the one you identified: two comments told the next reviewer the case was handled, and my own header described the failure mode correctly while the test denied it. family1_test.go now says the two shapes are pinned as different things — "no cwd anywhere" as correct behaviour, "cwd only past MaxLineBytes" as an open defect whose loss is asserted rather than its absence.

Something I should flag about my own process

Verifying these fixes, my first mutation run reported all four clean. Two reasons, both mine:

  1. I had fixed three of CodeRabbit's findings without regression tests — the exact shape you were reviewing. Tests added; the mutations now fail properly (counting the terminator breaks 3 boundary cases, swallowing non-EOF errors breaks the read-failure test, dropping Cf lets 10 format characters through, opening directly reads a file from outside the store root).
  2. An earlier run reported clean because a literal BOM I'd put in a new test made the package fail to compile. A mutation against a package that doesn't build is indistinguishable from a test that holds.

Both are in the commit message. I'd rather you knew the verification had to be redone than take the green result at face value.

Also fixed here, two of which were bugs I introduced in fea5a565: the truncation counter included the line terminator, so records that had been read in full were reported as "could not be read" — a false alarm in the one signal that exists to be trusted.

@coderabbitai — all six taken at bfdfdb4a. Two were bugs I introduced in fea5a565 and both reproduced exactly as described.

Terminator counted as content — confirmed at the boundary, both EOL styles:

"\n"   content=64 keep=64 -> truncated=true   (want false)
"\r\n" content=63 keep=64 -> truncated=true   (want false)

terminatorBytes now excludes it, and TestARecordThatExactlyFillsTheCapIsNotTruncated covers keep-1/keep/keep+1 for both styles.

scanHead swallowing non-EOF errors — EOF is now the only clean stop; anything else returns. A session indexed off whatever arrived before an I/O failure was previously indistinguishable from one indexed off a whole file.

Contained openopenContained resolves through an os.Root on the store root. globTranscripts already refuses a symlink wearing a transcript extension, but that verdict describes the tree at glob time; the open is where it has to still hold. The root is threaded through both index functions; an empty root opens directly, which the unit tests need.

Category Cf — good catch, and unicode.IsControl being correct is what made it invisible. U+202E reorders everything after it, so gnp.txt.exe behind an override renders as an image file with every byte innocent. Stripped in both stripControl and DisplayField, asserted across five format characters in a title and a tool name, with a check that a legitimate newline in a transcript body still survives.

Marker wording — "the conversation below" was wrong; both translators append it after the events. Now position-neutral.

CLI output sites — all four wrapped: the discovery warning, the parse error, the import error, and result.Source.ID. An error string is not automatically safe; these wrap paths and ids read out of another agent's store.

@gnanam1990 The six reported fixes are present at bfdfdb4a. The boundary tests, non-EOF propagation, root-contained open, Cf stripping, marker wording, and the four reported CLI sites are correct.

I found one remaining blocking terminal-safety path in zero sessions import.

  • In internal/agentsessions/registry.go, Line 161 stores a foreign title with stripControl only.
  • In internal/cli/sessions_import.go, Line 214 prints result.Session.Title through displayOrNone, which does not redact or sanitize it for display.
  • Line 215 also prints the foreign result.Session.Cwd without DisplayField.
  • importWorkspaceWarning at Lines 235-249 appends the same foreign CWD directly to terminal output.

A foreign title containing a credential still appears in the successful human-readable import output. A foreign CWD containing an escape or format character can still alter terminal rendering.

Apply agentsessions.DisplayField at these terminal render sites. Keep the raw CWD for workspace comparison, but use DisplayField(recorded) when the warning renders it. Also add regression coverage for a credential-bearing imported title and a control-bearing foreign CWD in runSessionsImport.

I cannot close the review until these output paths use the same display-safety boundary.

Comment thread internal/agentsessions/fixture_corpus_test.go Outdated
Found while verifying the previous commit rather than in review, which is why it
is worth naming: I closed the instance and left the class open.

CodeRabbit's finding named scanHead, and scanHead is what I hardened. streamLines
sits beside it with the same os.Open and the same untrusted path, and it is the
path with more at stake — scanHead only builds a picker row, while streamLines
reads a transcript's actual CONTENT and writes it into the user's own Zero
session. A symlink swapped in between the glob and the open would have copied
whatever it points at into their store.

Both Read paths already had adapter.root in hand and were not passing it. Now
threaded, so discovery and import resolve through the same os.Root on the store
root.

Mutation-checked: opening directly again lets the import read a file from
outside the root and hands its lines to the caller.

go test -race ./internal/agentsessions/: clean. Pre-existing here and unrelated:

…ead of

losing the session

CodeRabbit's answer to the previous commit, and it is the better one: recover the
metadata rather than documenting its absence.

A record over MaxLineBytes arrives as a prefix, fails json.Unmarshal and is
skipped whole. Discarding the BODY is the entire point of the cap — a giant tool
result must not be held in memory to build a picker row. But the fields discovery
needs sit at the FRONT of the object, before the content that made it oversized,
and throwing them away with the body cost the whole session: with no cwd there
was no workspace to bind to, so a transcript the user can see on disk vanished
from the picker and looked exactly like a legitimate empty stub.

topLevelStrings reads cwd, gitBranch and timestamp off the prefix with a
json.Decoder token stream. A token stream rather than a regex, because a regex
over truncated JSON cannot tell a top-level "cwd" from one nested in a message
body or an escaped string that merely looks like a key. The decoder stops
cleanly at the cut, so anything recovered was genuinely complete and genuinely
top-level, and anything after it is simply absent.

Applied ONLY to a truncated line. A genuinely malformed one is still skipped: a
live-appended transcript's last line is routinely half-written, and mining fields
out of it would invent a workspace from whatever bytes happened to land.

TestAWorkspaceInAnOverlongRecordIsRecovered now requires discovery at all four
sizes — 1 KiB, 60 KiB, 70 KiB, 200 KiB — with cwd and branch intact, where the
previous version asserted the loss.

## A test that could not fail

TestAHalfWrittenRecordIsNotMinedForMetadata first put the valid record BEFORE the
torn one. session.Cwd was therefore already set, the "only fill what is empty"
guard hid any difference, and the test passed against a mutation that mined every
unparsable line. Reordered so the torn line comes first; it now fails against
that mutation.

Both mutations verified: removing the recovery loses the oversized session,
and mining every unparsable line takes the torn line's cwd.

@coderabbitai — taken at 08aee3d5, and you were right that recovery beats documenting the gap.

topLevelStrings reads cwd, gitBranch and timestamp off the truncated prefix with a json.Decoder token stream. A token stream rather than a regex, because a regex over truncated JSON cannot tell a top-level "cwd" from one nested inside a message body, or from an escaped string that merely looks like a key. The decoder stops cleanly at the cut, so anything recovered was genuinely complete and genuinely top-level.

TestAWorkspaceInAnOverlongRecordIsRecovered now requires discovery at all four sizes — 1 KiB, 60 KiB, 70 KiB, 200 KiB — with cwd and branch intact, where the previous version asserted the loss.

Scoped to truncated lines only. A genuinely malformed record is still skipped: a live-appended transcript's last line is routinely half-written, and mining fields out of it would invent a workspace from whatever bytes happened to land. TestAHalfWrittenRecordIsNotMinedForMetadata covers that.

Also fixed, found while verifying rather than in review: streamLines still opened with os.Open. Your containment finding named scanHead and scanHead is what I hardened — but its sibling reads a transcript's actual content and writes it into the user's Zero session, so a swapped symlink there copies whatever it points at into their store. Both now resolve through the same os.Root. Fixing the instance and leaving the class is the thing this repo's review protocol warns about, and I did it anyway.

One more admission: TestAHalfWrittenRecordIsNotMinedForMetadata as first written could not fail. It put the valid record before the torn one, so session.Cwd was already set and the "only fill what is empty" guard hid any difference — it passed against a mutation that mined every unparsable line. Reordered so the torn line comes first; it now fails against that mutation.

@gnanam1990 Confirmed at 08aee3d5.

topLevelStrings reads only complete top-level string values. It skips nested JSON values with the token stream. indexFamily1Transcript calls it only when scanHead marks the record as truncated.

TestAWorkspaceInAnOverlongRecordIsRecovered covers the four stated sizes. It verifies recovered Cwd and GitBranch. TestAHalfWrittenRecordIsNotMinedForMetadata now puts the torn record first. This makes the test fail if recovery runs for non-truncated malformed input.

streamLines now uses openContained, as does scanHead. The outside-root regression test covers the full import read path.

These fixes close the metadata recovery and containment findings.

Learning: In Go `internal/agentsessions`, recover `cwd`, `gitBranch`, and `timestamp` from a JSONL record only when `scanHead` explicitly marks the line as truncated. Use a `json.Decoder` token stream to extract complete top-level string fields from the prefix. Do not mine metadata from ordinarily malformed or half-written records.

Re-checked at 08aee3d5. Both of my findings are closed, and you went further than I asked on the second one.

The real-corpus tests no longer fail for anyone with a store. That was my original blocker, green for the robot and red for the contributor. They report the ratio as a diagnostic now instead of asserting a threshold nobody's disk can satisfy. On my machine, which has both a live ~/.claude and a live ~/.codex:

--- PASS: TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses
    indexed 2 of 2 rollouts; 2 titled, 0 with a model
    ... TestARolloutWithALateTurnContextIndexesWithoutAModel pins that shape deterministically
--- PASS: TestTheRealCorpusStillParses
    indexed 21 of 32 real transcripts (66%) in the live store

Pointing at the deterministic test that pins the same shape is the right way to keep the observation without the assertion.

The overlong-record gap is fixed, not renamed. I expected a rename and an honest comment; instead the behaviour changed. TestAWorkspaceInAnOverlongRecordIsRecovered now generates records at 1 KiB, 60 KiB, 70 KiB and 200 KiB against the 64 KiB cap, which spans the boundary rather than sitting 64x under it. I falsified it by dropping the truncated-line recovery:

--- FAIL: TestAWorkspaceInAnOverlongRecordIsRecovered
    a 71811-byte record (cap 65536) yielded 0 sessions; the workspace was not recovered

So the session that used to vanish now survives, and the test would notice if it stopped.

Recovering only from a TRUNCATED line and not from a malformed one is the right distinction, and TestAHalfWrittenRecordIsNotMinedForMetadata is the test I would have asked for if you had not written it.

The comment on that one is worth calling out:

THE TORN LINE COMES FIRST, so its cwd would win if it were mined. With the valid record first, session.Cwd is already set and the "only fill what is empty" guard hides the difference — an earlier version of this test made exactly that mistake and passed against a mutation that mined every unparsable line.

That is you catching your own vacuous test and leaving the reason in the file so nobody reintroduces it. I have hit that exact shape twice today in my own work, so it is not a small thing to have caught it unprompted.

Nothing blocking from me.

275-283: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The headline event can still exceed maxSummaryEventChars.

toolBreakdown truncates its own output to 460 characters at Line 322. summaryEvents then prepends "Prior session activity: N tool calls, M failures." and a space. The assembled headline reaches roughly 510 characters, which is over the 460 budget and over the 500-character digest limit. sessions.summarizePayload then cuts the headline mid-sentence, which is the exact failure this file exists to prevent.

TestEverySummaryEventSurvivesTheDigestIntact does not catch this. Its fixture uses only Read calls, so toolCounts stays empty and toolBreakdown returns "".

Truncate the assembled headline, and add a test case with many unrecognised tool names.

🐛 Proposed fix
 	if extra := log.toolBreakdown(); extra != "" {
 		headline += " " + extra
 	}
-	events = append(events, noteEvent(headline))
+	events = append(events, noteEvent(truncateToBudget(headline, maxSummaryEventChars)))

235-249: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

filepath.Clean still compares two workspace paths lexically.

Clean performs lexical tidying only. It does not resolve symlinks and it does not fold case. Two results follow:

  • On macOS, os.Getwd commonly returns /private/var/... while the recorded cwd holds /var/... for the same directory. The strings differ, so the warning fires for a session that ran in this directory.
  • On Windows, the comparison is case-sensitive against a case-insensitive filesystem. C:\Work\repo and C:\work\repo compare unequal and produce the same spurious warning.

The consequence is a misleading advisory line, not data loss. internal/tui/session.go answers the same question with sessionMatchesWorkspace. Promote that predicate to a shared package and call it here, so one implementation serves both callers.

🐛 Proposed fix
-	if filepath.Clean(working) == filepath.Clean(recorded) {
+	if sessionMatchesWorkspace(recorded, working) {
 		return ""
 	}

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Findings

P1: Render imported metadata through a display-safe redaction/control-stripping path
internal/cli/sessions_import.go:210-225, 247-248; internal/tui/session.go:502-505
ForeignSession metadata is supplied by the foreign JSONL, so these are untrusted display values. Import persists the title after stripControl, but that helper intentionally preserves newlines, and cwd is persisted without sanitization. The CLI then passes title and cwd through displayOrNone and includes the raw recorded value in its warning; the TUI formats Source.ID and Session.Cwd directly. This bypasses the existing agentsessions.DisplayField boundary used by discovery/picker output, which removes C0/C1/Cf controls and newlines before redacting. A crafted imported title, cwd, or source ID containing a newline or ESC sequence can forge terminal/TUI output, while credential-shaped metadata can be exposed. Route every human-visible successful-import field through the same display-boundary helper, including the TUI note and the CLI title, cwd, and warning. Keep the stored metadata and transcript semantics unchanged.

P2: Make a failed append recoverable for the created session
internal/agentsessions/registry.go:155-172
Create succeeds before AppendEvents; if the append fails, the method returns an error but leaves the created metadata, import tag, and any state written by creation intact. foreignSessionItems then suppresses the original foreign source solely because that tag is parsed from ListResumable, before it filters out the zero-event local session. A retry or picker therefore loses the foreign source even though the local session has no transcript. The root cause is a multi-step persistence span with no post-create failure state. Make the operation atomic from the user's perspective by staging and committing it together, or by rolling back exactly the newly created session on append failure. If rollback itself cannot complete, explicitly surface the partial session as recoverable rather than treating it as successful import provenance.

… a failed import from hiding its source

P1, reported by @jatmn. ForeignSession metadata is another product's bytes and
every reader draws it. Import stored the title through stripControl -- which
deliberately keeps newlines, right for a transcript line and wrong for a label
drawn as one picker row -- and stored the cwd with no sanitizing at all. Neither
was redacted, so a title, usually the user's first prompt and exactly where a
pasted key lands, stayed a live secret in the store for each consumer to leak
independently. Two of them did: the CLI import summary and the TUI note. Both
now route through DisplayField, and so does the store on the way in, which is
the chokepoint the per-consumer calls were standing in for. The workspace
warning prints the sanitized path while still comparing the recorded one.

P2, reported by @jatmn. Import creates the local session and appends its
transcript as two steps. An append that failed left a session carrying the
import tag and no events -- and the tag alone was enough for the picker to treat
the foreign source as already imported and stop offering it, while the loop that
builds local rows drops that same session for having no events. Both rows
vanished and the import could not be retried, because its source was no longer
listed. The two filters now agree on what a real session is: a session with no
transcript is not import provenance. Nothing in the store deletes a session and
inventing that primitive to unwind an import would hand every caller a
destructive operation, so the empty session stays on disk and the error names it.

Raised by CodeRabbit: the activity headline applied its character budget to the
tool breakdown alone, so a session full of unrecognised tool names assembled a
~510 character note on top of it and summarizePayload cut it mid-sentence -- the
exact failure maxSummaryEventChars exists to prevent. The budget now applies to
the assembled line.

The other two CodeRabbit findings on this head were already closed here:
readBoundedLine no longer exists unused (it became readBoundedLineTruncated with
two callers, which is what the Linux and Windows checks failed on), and
fileModTime takes root and stats the handle openContained returned, with
TestFileModTimeRefusesASymlinkOutOfTheRoot covering the replaced-symlink case.

Correct the stale test comment.

The comment states that summaryEvents caps toolBreakdown. Current code returns the full breakdown and caps the assembled headline. Describe the previous defect in past tense, or describe the current behavior.

As per coding guidelines, comments must match what shipped.

comment above the budget test to accurately describe the current behavior: the
assembled headline, including call/failure counts and the full tool breakdown,
is capped to the budget. If mentioning the prior defect, describe it in past

Compare raw Cwd values before display sanitization.

DisplayField can redact a Cwd component. result.Session.Cwd can therefore differ from the original workspace path. A session imported from the current workspace can produce a false cross-workspace note or CLI warning.

  • internal/tui/session.go#L522-L524: compare result.Source.Cwd with workspace; apply DisplayField only when rendering the note.
  • internal/cli/sessions_import.go#L210-L212: pass result.Source.Cwd to importWorkspaceWarning; sanitize only the displayed path.
  • Add a regression case where the raw Cwd equals the workspace but a component is redacted in Session.Cwd.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Merge readiness

  • [P1] Rebase onto current main before merge
    internal/tui/model.go:1
    The branch merge-base (6edf9a8) is behind live main (6fe0d1e) by five commits, including changes to this same TUI file. Rebase and revalidate the resolved diff so the importer is reviewed against current mainline behavior.

Findings

  • [P1] Sanitize the imported foreign model identifier before persisting it
    internal/agentsessions/registry.go:169
    The importer treats title and cwd as untrusted display data and sends both through DisplayField, but copies source.ModelID directly into CreateInput.ModelID. That value is read from the other agent’s transcript in the family-1 and Codex indexers, so a transcript can supply terminal control bytes, bidi format characters, or a credential-shaped value as its model identifier.

    This is not confined to the initial discovery view. Import persists the raw value in Zero’s session metadata; later, the resume summary interpolates session.ModelID into its recorded-model suffix (internal/tui/session.go:349-355), while the generic local-session formatter only performs secret redaction (internal/cli/sessions.go:541-577) and does not neutralize terminal control characters. As a result, importing a transcript with an ESC/C1/bidi model field can create a durable local session whose metadata alters terminal output whenever it is resumed or listed; a secret in that field also remains in the local store and reaches consumers that rely on display-time redaction.

    Address the root cause at the foreign-data ingress boundary rather than patching only the currently observed renderers: apply the same normalize-controls-then-redact policy used for title and cwd before assigning the foreign model value to session metadata. Ensure the stored value is safe for every later local-session consumer, retain ordinary model labels, and add a regression that imports a control-byte and split-secret-bearing model value, verifies the stored metadata, and exercises both the resume-summary and local session-list paths.

Review guidance

This feature has a high review surface because it turns files produced by four external tools into durable Zero session state, then exposes that state through multiple independent paths: discovery output, picker rows, import messages, metadata, session lists, resume summaries, event logs, transcript rendering, and prompt construction. The hard part is not a single escape sequence; it is proving that every foreign-controlled field is classified consistently from read through persistence and every later use. Fixing individual output sites after they are found is likely to miss the next persistence or restore path.

For the remaining hardening pass, build one explicit field-and-sink inventory for each adapter: identify every foreign value (including filename-derived IDs, cwd, title, branch, model, role, tool name, tool-call ID, arguments, output, errors, and summary text), whether it is persisted, and each terminal/JSON/prompt consumer that can read it later. Assign each field one of two contracts: transcript body text may preserve allowed layout such as tabs/newlines but must normalize controls before secret redaction; single-line metadata must use the display-safe normalize-controls-then-redact form before persistence. Apply the contract at the shared constructors/store boundary, not only at individual views.

Then validate the complete lifecycle, not just import creation: foreign file -> discovery/index -> Import/Create -> metadata on disk -> sessions list and JSON -> picker and import note -> TUI resume -> rehydrated transcript and exec prompt. Include malicious test values that cover ESC, C1 controls, bidi/Cf characters, embedded NUL, tabs/newlines, and credentials split by removable controls. Assert both that dangerous bytes and secret material are absent and that legitimate visible content remains; exercise stored/reloaded records so a test cannot pass merely because it checked an in-memory value.

Finally, consolidate the safety policy into a small number of shared helpers and add focused tests for every persistence boundary. That makes future adapters and fields opt into the same contract by construction, reduces repeated review churn, and avoids broad changes to unrelated local-session behavior.
