Summary

  • advertise and implement optional ACP v1 session/list and session/resume capabilities
  • replay persisted user/assistant history during session/load with stable message IDs
  • keep session/resume replay-free for reconnecting clients that already retain transcript state
  • list resumable sessions only, with optional cwd filtering and ACP metadata

Verification

  • go test ./internal/acp
  • go vet ./internal/acp
  • make fmt-check
  • make lint-static
  • make vulncheck
  • real ZeroApp ACP conformance: initialize, session/list, and session/load passed

Integration

ZeroApp consumes these capabilities through a separate follow-up PR. session/list and session/resume remain capability-gated for compatibility with older ACP v1 clients and servers.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for listing and resuming saved sessions.
    • Added workspace filtering, pagination, session metadata, and resolved absolute paths to session listings.
    • Session listing and resumption capabilities are now advertised during initialization.
    • Loading a session replays saved history with stable message IDs.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Session loading and resuming now validate workspace identity and require absolute paths.
    • Invalid, deleted, unavailable, relative, or workspace-less sessions are excluded from listings.
    • Notifications of the same type remain ordered, while different types can be processed concurrently.

Walkthrough

ACP adds session/list and session/resume. It advertises both capabilities, filters persisted sessions by valid workspaces, replays history during load, restores state without replay during resume, validates workspace identity, and orders notifications per method.

Changes

ACP session lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
ACP session contracts
internal/acp/types.go
Adds session list and resume methods, capability markers, session metadata types, resume aliases, and optional messageId support.
Session registration and activation
internal/acp/agent.go
Registers and advertises handlers. Lists sessions with cursor and workspace validation. Shares activation logic between load and resume and validates persisted workspace roots.
Persisted history replay and validation
internal/acp/agent.go, internal/acp/translate.go, internal/acp/agent_test.go
Records replayable messages, generates deterministic IDs, emits typed replay chunks, and tests listing, replay, resume behavior, workspace aliases, filtering, and wire keys.

ACP notification ordering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-method notification dispatch
internal/acp/jsonrpc.go, internal/acp/jsonrpc_test.go
Queues notifications by method to preserve wire order while allowing different methods to run concurrently. Tests cover both behaviors.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to f58e3

Session resume can restore conversation history into an unrelated workspace, while a workspace replacement race may bypass containment checks and expose or apply context in the wrong location. These data-isolation risks should be fixed before merging.

Reviewed at b9455679. The feature is worth having and the persisted-workspace binding is the right instinct. One thing to fix, and it is the kind that only shows up on someone else's machine.

Two spellings of one directory are two different workspaces

Both new comparisons are string equality on the output of ResolveWorkspaceRoot, and that resolver is abs plus filepath.Clean plus a stat. It does not fold case and does not resolve junctions, so the same directory under a different spelling produces a different root:

real      -> ...\001\proj
junction  -> ...\001\aliaslink    sameFile=true  stringEqual=false

os.SameFile says these are one directory. The code says they are two. A session persisted from the TUI is then unresumable from an editor that holds a different spelling of the project folder, and session/list filtered by the other spelling returns nothing, so it is not merely a failed resume but an invisible one.

This fails closed rather than open, which is why I am calling it P2 rather than a security finding: it blocks legitimate resumes, it does not admit foreign ones. But it lands exactly on the case this PR exists for, surfacing desktop sessions in an editor, and the two processes are the two most likely to disagree about spelling.

filepath.EvalSymlinks is not the fix on Windows. I went through this on #901: it normalises a drive letter but returns a junction path unchanged, so the alias case survives. Junctions also need no privilege, so this is not an exotic setup. What works is a filesystem-identity comparison, os.SameFile on the two resolved roots, or GetFinalPathNameByHandle if you want a canonical string to store. #901 has a physicalSandboxPath that does the latter and could be lifted if you want it.

The test cannot see any of this

TestACPLoadAndResumeStayBoundToThePersistedWorkspace inherits testDeps, whose resolver is func(cwd string) (string, error) { return cwd, nil }. Under an identity resolver the new guard degenerates to "are these two strings different", fed two unrelated temp directories, so it can only ever answer yes. The rejection direction is pinned and the acceptance direction, same directory under a valid alternative spelling, is asserted nowhere.

The workspaceB + "/." case in the list test has the same shape: filepath.Clean already folds that one, so it passes without touching the resolver's real behaviour.

A test here needs the production resolver, or a stub that reproduces its actual normalisation. Otherwise this guard is protected by a comparison that cannot fail.

Smaller

No new test pins the wire keys this adds, so a rename of sessionCapabilities, messageId or the session fields would break clients silently and stay green. Worth one assertion on the marshalled JSON, since these are an external contract rather than internal names.

Vasanthdev2004 added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 17, 2026
gnanam's #914 lands the same fix and does more with it: the replayed
messages carry stable ids derived from the store's event ids, session/load
replays while session/resume deliberately does not, and both are
capability-gated. Keeping a second, weaker replay here would have meant a
conflict in handleSessionLoad and translate.go for no gain.

translate.go is back to its state on main. What remains are the three
defects #914 does not touch: the permission option that could not be
accepted, the cancel that arrived as an internal error, and the two
options labelled the same.

Nice — the stable message ids are the part I'd have got wrong. I was carrying a replay fix in #915 from the desktop side and dropped it: yours derives the id from the store's event id so a second load reproduces the same ones, and keeping session/resume replay-free is the right call for a client that still holds the transcript. Mine did neither.

#915 is now three defects that don't overlap you — none of them touch permission.go or stopReasonFor:

  • an option we offered couldn't be accepted. buildPermissionOptions falls back to allow/deny when AvailableDecisions is empty, but requestPermission validated the reply against the raw field, so every button we showed came back "permission option was not offered" and was recorded as a deny. The user clicks Allow, ZERO denies, nothing says so.
  • cancelling a permission prompt returned -32603 instead of stopReason cancelled, so declining a tool renders as a crashed turn.
  • request_permissions labels both allow and allow_with_strict_auto_review "Allow", so the panel shows two identical buttons and one of them turns on strict auto-review.

Only overlap left is agent.go, two hunks nowhere near handleSessionLoad — should merge either order. Happy to rebase on you if you land first.

One thing worth checking on your side: does session/list surface enough for a client to show a session before opening it? I'm wiring zero:// deep links to resume on the desktop and right now I only have the id.

Reviewed at ca7074e4. sameWorkspace is right, and I checked it against a real junction rather than reading it:

same spelling       -> true
junction vs real    -> true
real vs junction    -> true
different dirs      -> false
nonexistent vs real -> false

Both directions, and it does not over-match: two genuinely different directories stay different, and a path that does not exist does not become equal to one that does. The comment carrying the EvalSymlinks caveat forward is worth having, because that is the fix everyone reaches for first and it does not work here.

One thing left, and it is the test rather than the code.

The new test cannot run on the platform the bug is from

TestACPResumesAcrossTwoSpellingsOfOneWorkspace builds its alias with os.Symlink, which needs a privilege an ordinary Windows session does not hold:

--- SKIP: TestACPResumesAcrossTwoSpellingsOfOneWorkspace
    cannot create a directory alias here: A required privilege is not held by the client.

So it exercises the symlink case on Linux and macOS, and skips on Windows, which is where junctions exist and where this bug came from. The guard you just wrote is verified by CI on the two platforms that did not have the problem.

mklink /J needs no privilege and is what I used to find this in the first place. A Windows arm using that, alongside the symlink arm you have, closes it. There is a working example in #901's runtime_root_alias_test.go if you want the shape.

I am flagging this rather than waving it through because it is the third time this week a fix has been correct and its test unable to run where the fix matters, twice in my own branches. It is not a nit, it is how a guard quietly stops guarding.

Everything else here is good, and the identity comparison is the right call rather than the expedient one.

@Vasanthdev2004 @anandh8x — head da09489c, CI green 8/8.

@Vasanthdev2004: both your points are addressed. The alias test builds its second name with mklink /J on Windows now, so the guard is exercised where junctions exist rather than skipping there — your point that a fix verified only on the platforms without the problem is not verified at all. CodeRabbit separately caught that session/list advertised sessions with no persisted workspace, which resume then refuses; both halves are asserted together.

The ACP wire shapes, load/replay versus resume behavior, stable message IDs, notification ordering, and filesystem-identity workspace comparison are sound. One core session/list contract issue remains:

[P1] Resolve and validate every persisted workspace before listing it, even when no cwd filter was supplied. The current loop skips only blank item.Cwd. It therefore advertises a session whose nonblank persisted workspace no longer exists, even though session/resume rejects it, and it can emit a relative value such as "." even though ACP requires SessionInfo.cwd to be absolute.

I reproduced both on da09489: an unfiltered list contained a deleted/nonexistent workspace, and returned Cwd: "." for a relative legacy entry. Resolve each item's persisted cwd unconditionally, omit entries that cannot resolve to an existing workspace, use the resolved absolute root in SessionInfo, then apply the optional filesystem-identity filter. The ACP package otherwise passes under the race detector.

Re-reviewed at 0777f126. Closed, and you got ahead of me on the second half.

The junction arm runs here now instead of skipping:

--- PASS: TestACPResumesAcrossTwoSpellingsOfOneWorkspace (0.06s)

It is load-bearing. Breaking sameWorkspace back to plain string equality kills it on all three assertions, which is the right blast radius for that guard:

session/load under an alias of the persisted workspace failed: session cwd does not match its persisted workspace
session/resume under an alias of the persisted workspace failed: session cwd does not match its persisted workspace
session/list filtered by an alias of its own workspace returned 0 sessions without it

I had written up the unfiltered-list gap as a follow-up before 0777f126 landed: session/resume refuses on three conditions and the list was only checking the first, so a session whose workspace had been deleted was still being advertised. You closed it, and you found a shape I had not, the legacy relative path being reported as cwd "." when ACP wants an absolute one. Returning the resolved root rather than the stored string is the better answer to both.

That one is load-bearing too. Reverting to filter-only resolution:

agent_test.go:1036: a session whose workspace no longer exists was advertised; resume would refuse it
agent_test.go:1044: session relative-ws was listed with a relative cwd "."; ACP requires an absolute path

Package is clean under -race, CI is green. Approving.

Worth saying plainly since I have been leaning on you about this: the guard, the test that can run where the bug lives, and the follow-through on your own stated principle all came in the right order here.

@anandh8x — head 0777f126, CI green 8/8, race clean. Both halves reproduced and are fixed.

I confirmed each before changing anything: an unfiltered list carried a session whose workspace had been deleted, and a legacy relative entry came back as cwd: ".".

Every entry is now resolved unconditionally, anything that cannot resolve is omitted, and the resolved root is what SessionInfo carries — absolute as ACP requires, and the same value the client hands back on resume. The optional identity filter then applies to resolved roots, which is where it belonged.

Your framing is the one I took: listing is a menu, and activatePersistedSession resolves and refuses what it cannot reach — so anything this loop cannot resolve is something a client would be offered and then denied.

Mutation-checked: restoring the resolve-only-when-filtered shape re-advertises the deleted workspace and re-emits the relative cwd.

ResumeSessionParams aliases LoadSessionParams, so JSON decoding turns an omitted resume cwd into an empty string. That blank value then reaches the shared activation path at internal/acp/agent.go:198, whose blank-cwd fallback substitutes meta.Cwd; as a result, {"sessionId":"known"} activates a persisted session even though ACP v1 requires session/resume to include an absolute working directory. Make resume's wire input distinct from load's, or validate that resume supplied an absolute cwd before entering the shared fallback; retain the load fallback only if its omitted-cwd behavior is intentional. Add a wire-level regression test that a resume request omitting cwd (and one with a non-absolute cwd) returns invalid parameters without activating the session.

@Vasanthdev2004's three findings, all reproduced before changing anything.

TWO SPELLINGS OF ONE DIRECTORY WERE TWO WORKSPACES. Both comparisons were string
equality on ResolveWorkspaceRoot output, and that resolver is abs plus
filepath.Clean plus a stat — it does not fold case and does not resolve
junctions. A session persisted from the TUI was unresumable from an editor
holding a different spelling of the same project folder, and session/list
filtered by the other spelling returned nothing, which makes it an invisible
failure rather than a reported one. It lands on exactly the case this feature
exists for, and on the two processes most likely to disagree about spelling.

os.SameFile asks the filesystem which directories these are, which is the
question. filepath.EvalSymlinks is NOT the fix on Windows — it normalises a
drive letter and returns a junction path unchanged, so the alias survives it,
and junctions need no privilege. String equality stays as the fast path, and a
stat failure falls back to it rather than widening the match: this gate refuses
access to another workspace's files and configuration, so an unanswerable
comparison denies.

THE TEST COULD NOT SEE ANY OF IT. testDeps resolves with the identity function,
so the guard degenerated to "are these two strings different" fed two unrelated
temp directories — it could only ever answer yes. The rejection direction was
pinned and the acceptance direction was asserted nowhere. The new test uses a
resolver reproducing the production normalisation and drives the ACCEPTANCE
direction through an alias, skipping if the filesystem folds the alias away so
it never passes vacuously. Reverting to string equality fails it three ways:
load, resume, and a list that returns zero.

THE WIRE KEYS ARE AN EXTERNAL CONTRACT. Nothing pinned sessionId, cwd, title,
updatedAt, _meta, modelId, createdAt, sessions, nextCursor, cursor, loadSession,
promptCapabilities, sessionCapabilities, list or resume, so renaming a Go field
would break every client and leave the suite green. Renaming modelId to model_id
now fails.

…unusable sessions

THE TEST COULD NOT RUN ON THE PLATFORM THE BUG IS FROM. @Vasanthdev2004's point,
and he is right that it is not a nit. The alias test built its second name with
os.Symlink, which needs a privilege an ordinary Windows session does not hold, so
it SKIPPED there — and Windows is where junctions exist and where this defect came
from. The identity guard was verified by CI on the two platforms that never had
the problem. It now builds the alias with mklink /J on Windows, which needs no
privilege and is how he found the defect in the first place, and keeps the symlink
arm elsewhere.

This is the second time in this series a correct fix shipped with a test that
could not exercise it: the same helper shape was added to internal/memory for the
same reason a day earlier.

A SESSION WITH NO PERSISTED WORKSPACE IS NOT RESUMABLE, SO IT IS NOT LISTED.
CodeRabbit's finding. activatePersistedSession refuses an empty Cwd, but the
listing advertised it anyway — a menu entry that only fails when taken. The test
asserts both halves, because the listing is only correct relative to what resume
will accept: the omitted session is checked to really fail on resume, and a usable
session is checked to survive the filter.

Mutation-checked: removing the filter advertises the unusable session again.

…supplied

@anandh8x's P1, both halves reproduced before changing anything.

The loop resolved item.Cwd only when a cwd filter was present, and skipped only a
blank one. Two shapes stayed on the menu that session/resume then refuses:

  - a session whose persisted workspace has since been deleted, advertised as
    resumable
  - a legacy entry holding a relative path, reported as cwd "." although ACP
    requires SessionInfo.cwd to be absolute

Every entry is now resolved unconditionally, anything that cannot resolve is
omitted, and the RESOLVED root is what SessionInfo carries — absolute as the
contract requires, and the same value the client hands back on resume. The
optional identity filter then applies to the resolved roots, which is also where
it belonged.

Listing is a menu: activatePersistedSession resolves and refuses what it cannot
reach, so anything this loop cannot resolve is something a client would be
offered and then denied.

Mutation-checked: restoring the resolve-only-when-filtered shape re-advertises
the deleted workspace and re-emits the relative cwd.

CodeRabbit's catch, and the test was genuinely weaker than it looked. It checked
that the deleted workspace was gone, the live one kept, and every listed cwd
absolute — all of which a "fix" that simply DISCARDED any non-absolute entry
would satisfy, while losing a resumable session.

Presence is now asserted separately from spelling: the relative entry must still
be listed, and listed with an absolute path.

Mutation-checked: skipping non-absolute entries instead of resolving them now
fails with "a session with a resolvable relative workspace was dropped rather
than normalised". The first attempt at that mutation did not compile, so it
proved nothing until it was rewritten — worth saying, because a mutation that
fails to build looks exactly like a test that passes.

Reported by @anandh8x. Resolving a stored relative cwd does not recover the
session's workspace, it invents one: ResolveWorkspaceRoot joins it against
whatever directory the ACP server happens to be running in, and that invented
absolute path was then advertised as the session's workspace and accepted as
its home on resume.

Reproduced on f2c6fc9, a session persisted with cwd ".":

  LISTED legacy-rel as cwd="/Users/kratos/dev/f914/internal/acp"
  resume with an UNRELATED workspace -> err=... cwd does not match its persisted workspace
  resume with NO cwd (falls back to ".") -> err=<nil>

The mismatch check does its job when the client names a workspace, so the only
opening was the fallback path, where the rebased value was compared against
itself and always agreed. A conversation created for one project could be
resumed against another project's files, configuration and tools.

Both doors now take the same guard: handleSessionList omits an entry whose
persisted cwd is not absolute, and activatePersistedSession refuses one rather
than resolving it. The original base is not knowable from the metadata, so
guessing at it is not an option a fix can take.

This reverses an earlier assertion in TestSessionListResolvesEveryWorkspace,
which expected the relative entry to be normalised and retained. That was
requested in review on the grounds that dropping it loses a resumable session.
It does, but the entry was never resumable into its own workspace, only into
this process's. The test now asserts it is dropped, and a new
TestResumeRefusesARelativePersistedWorkspace covers the fallback path that the
listing filter alone leaves open.

Both guards mutation-checked: removing either one fails its test.
Pre-existing on this branch and on its merge-base, unrelated to this change:
TestRunDoctorFormatsRedactedProviderDiagnostics and
TestRunDoctorConnectivityProbesProvider both exit 3 in this environment.

Raised by CodeRabbit: the test is named for resume and called session/load.

session/load and session/resume are separate entry points that today share
activatePersistedSession, so an assertion through either one passes while the
guard holds — but the name promised a surface it was not touching. Both are now
named explicitly, which keeps that true: if resume is ever given its own path,
this fails rather than quietly covering half of what it claims to.

With the guard removed, both methods accept a relative persisted workspace on
the no-cwd fallback. The named-workspace case was already refused by the
existing mismatch check; the fallback was the only door open, and it is open on
both.

Not taken in this PR, from the same review: threading a rooted directory handle
through ResolveWorkspaceRoot and workspace construction so a root rename or link
swap cannot redirect later file operations. That is a real question and a
pre-existing one — this change adds a refusal and no path handling — but it is a
capability refactor across workspace and tool access with its own race test, not
something to fold into a session-list fix. Worth its own issue.

…t the record

Reported by @jatmn.

ResumeSessionParams is a type alias for LoadSessionParams, so JSON decoding turns
an OMITTED resume cwd into an empty string. That blank reached the shared
activation path, whose blank-cwd fallback substitutes meta.Cwd — so
{"sessionId":"known"} activated a persisted session, even though ACP v1 requires
session/resume to carry an absolute working directory.

This is a different hole from the persisted-cwd one fixed earlier on this branch.
That guard asks whether the STORED workspace is identifiable; this asks whether
the CALLER named one at all. The earlier fix does not cover it, because a stored
absolute cwd passes that check and the blank request then silently inherits it.

requestedWorkspace validates the request's own cwd before anything reaches the
fallback: absent, empty and whitespace-only are all invalid params, and so is a
relative path. Applied to both activating methods rather than to resume alone —
load's omitted-cwd fallback was inheriting the same way, and leaving one door
open is how this class survived the last fix.

Mutation-checked at the wire, which is where the defect lives: making the blank
case return no error compiles and fails the regression on four separate requests
— session/load and session/resume, each with cwd omitted and with cwd blank. A
Go-level test would not have caught it, since the defect is in decoding an absent
field.

Two notes from a verification pass, neither a defect:

Error precedence changed: a blank cwd with an UNKNOWN session id now reports the
cwd problem instead of "session not found". Kept deliberately and pinned — it
stops the server confirming whether a session exists to a request that named no
workspace.

AdditionalDirectories is declared on two params structs and consumed nowhere in
the repo. Not a hole today, but it is the same shape — client-supplied paths with
no absoluteness rule — so the field now carries a note saying it must go through
requestedWorkspace when wired up.

Rebased onto ad34dc8. go test -race ./internal/acp/ -count=5: clean.
Pre-existing here and on main: TestRunDoctorFormatsRedactedProviderDiagnostics
and TestRunDoctorConnectivityProbesProvider exit 3 in this environment.

@jatmn — fixed at f58e34fb.

requestedWorkspace validates the request's own cwd before anything reaches the shared fallback: absent, empty and whitespace-only are all invalid params, and so is a relative path.

Applied to both activating methods, not resume alone. session/load's omitted-cwd fallback inherits the same way, and leaving one door open is exactly how this class survived the previous fix on this branch.

Mutation-checked at the wire, which is where you said the defect lives — making the blank case return no error compiles and fails on four separate requests: session/load and session/resume, each with cwd omitted and with cwd blank. A Go-level test would not have caught it, since the defect is in decoding an absent field.

Two things worth flagging:

Error precedence changed as a side effect: a blank cwd with an unknown session id now reports the cwd problem instead of "session not found". I kept that deliberately and pinned it — it stops the server confirming whether a session exists to a request that named no workspace. If you'd rather have the old precedence, it's a one-line reorder.

AdditionalDirectories is declared on two params structs and consumed nowhere in the repo. Not a hole today, but it is the same shape — client-supplied paths, no absoluteness rule — and requestedWorkspace does not cover it. The field now carries a note saying it must go through requestedWorkspace when wired up.

One claim I could not settle: whether session/resume is in the upstream ACP v1 schema or a Zero extension. Nothing in the repo settles it, so I'm not asserting either way — your review states the v1 requirement and I've implemented to that.

Rebased onto ad34dc8d. go test -race ./internal/acp/ -count=5 clean.

@anandh8x @Vasanthdev2004 @jatmn — ready for re-review at f58e34fb.

@jatmn's P1 is fixed: requestedWorkspace validates the request's own cwd before anything reaches the shared fallback, so absent, empty, whitespace-only and relative are all invalid params. Applied to both activating methods rather than resume alone — session/load's fallback inherits the same way, and leaving one door open is how this class survived the previous fix.

Mutation-checked at the wire, where the defect lives: making the blank case return no error compiles and fails on four requests (load and resume, each with cwd omitted and blank). A Go-level test would not have caught it, since the defect is in decoding an absent field.

@anandh8x — your earlier P1 (a relative persisted workspace rebased onto the ACP process directory) is fixed on both doors and your review is now stale.

One deliberate side effect, pinned: a blank cwd with an unknown session id now reports the cwd problem instead of "session not found", which stops the server confirming session existence to a request that named no workspace. Rebased onto ad34dc8d, CI green.

I found three issues that need to be addressed before this is ready. They share one root cause rather than representing three unrelated implementation mistakes.

Overall guidance

The new session/load replay and session/resume path both depend on loadHistory, but that helper was originally a narrow adapter for ACP's own user/assistant messages. It now has to serve several different contracts at once:

  1. choose the effective durable history after compaction;
  2. reconstruct the internal context used by the next prompt;
  3. project the user-visible transcript into ordered ACP updates; and
  4. decide whether activation may succeed when durable state cannot be restored.

The current implementation reads the raw log, recognizes only EventMessage, and returns both model turns and replay messages from that one restricted loop. Reusing it for standard resume and for sessions discovered across Zero's other frontends is why all three failures below appear together.

Please address that boundary as a whole rather than adding isolated conditions around the callers. A durable fix would read one compaction-aware effective event stream, then derive two explicit projections from it: restored model context for both lifecycle methods, and ordered client updates for session/load only. The projection should define how each user-visible durable event is represented, while activation should apply method-specific failure policy before publishing the session.

The regression coverage should exercise the RPC methods with sessions produced in the shapes Zero actually stores, not only hand-built user/assistant pairs. At minimum, cover a compacted session with a preserved tail, a TUI session containing a tool call/result pair, and an unreadable or corrupt log on a fresh process. Assert that the compacted session supplies the summary and preserved tail—not the replaced prefix—to the next resumed prompt; assert that load emits the effective ordered transcript, including tool activity, before its response; and assert that a failed resume does not publish a promptable session. Keep the existing simple-history/stable-ID case and the guarantee that session/resume emits no history replay.

Findings

  • [P1] Restore the compaction-aware session history
    internal/acp/agent.go:738
    loadHistory calls ReadEvents and then skips every record except EventMessage. A compacted Zero log intentionally still contains the original prefix plus an EventCompaction record that identifies the replaced events and carries their durable summary. For example, given old messages A/B, a compaction covering A/B, and preserved tail C, this loop restores and replays A/B/C while silently dropping the summary. Zero's TUI and exec paths instead use ReadRehydratedEvents, which projects that same log as summary/C. The new session/resume therefore seeds the next model turn with superseded context, and the new session/load replay visibly resurrects transcript entries the effective conversation replaced. Use the store's rehydrated/replay view as the canonical input and explicitly project EventCompaction into the replacement summary; simply switching readers while continuing to ignore the compaction event would still lose the summary. Preserve resume's replay-free wire behavior and ensure both load and resume consume the same effective history.

  • [P1] Do not report resume success when history restoration failed
    internal/acp/agent.go:250
    historyErr only suppresses replay and feeds warnPersistence; it never gates registerSession or the successful result. If ReadEvents encounters a corrupt complete record or an unreadable events file on a fresh process, loadHistory returns nil history, activation publishes that session ID, and session/resume reports it ready. The next prompt then runs as a new conversation under the old ID even though ACP resume promises to restore context before returning. Separate restoration from publication: do not register or return success for a newly resumed session until its durable context has been reconstructed. Keep any deliberately best-effort policy for the pre-existing load path explicit rather than inheriting it accidentally through the shared helper, and add a regression assertion that a failed resume leaves no promptable session behind.

  • [P2] Replay persisted tool activity during session/load
    internal/acp/agent.go:746
    The message-only switch also drops every persisted EventToolCall and EventToolResult. This is reachable through the feature's intended discovery flow: session/list returns resumable TUI sessions, and those sessions store the call ID, tool name, arguments, result status/output, and changed files. Loading one currently shows the user and final assistant text without the commands, edits, failures, or results that produced the answer, despite ACP requiring session/load to replay the entire conversation before responding. Build the load-only replay projection from the effective event stream and translate those records into the existing tool_call and tool_call_update shapes, preserving call/result correlation and event order. Prefer a shared persisted-event adapter that reuses the live translation semantics over a second ad hoc switch, so newly supported durable transcript events do not silently diverge again. session/resume should remain replay-free.

…hen it cannot

Three defects in ACP session restoration, all reported by @jatmn.

loadHistory read the raw event log and kept only EventMessage. A compacted
session stores its original prefix alongside an EventCompaction naming the
events it replaced and carrying their summary, so restoring from the raw log
replayed superseded turns AND dropped the summary that replaced them. It now
reads the same rehydrated view the TUI and exec paths use, and explicitly
projects the compaction summary -- switching readers alone would still drop it,
because rehydration substitutes the compaction event in place of what it
replaced.

historyErr only suppressed replay and raised a warning: the session was
registered and reported ready regardless, so an unreadable events file left the
caller holding a live, promptable session ID whose next prompt ran as a fresh
conversation under the old identity. Resume now fails. Load keeps the
best-effort policy deliberately rather than by inheriting the shared helper.

Tool calls and their results were dropped from session/load, so a restored
transcript showed prose asserting edits with no record that any tool ran. They
now replay through the same toolCallStart/toolCallResult mapping a live turn
uses, keyed on the stored toolCallId so results pair with their calls. They do
not enter turnRecord, so load and resume still consume the same effective
history. Resume stays replay-free.

Also asserts that an unset sessionCapabilities is omitted rather than
serialized as null, raised by CodeRabbit.

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

Overall guidance

This PR has accumulated repeated review feedback because it crosses a durable-session boundary rather than adding isolated RPC handlers. The feature spans capability advertising, request validation, session discovery, event persistence, compaction, restoration, transcript rendering, workspace confinement, and concurrent JSON-RPC delivery. Earlier revisions fixed individual visible symptoms, but the recurring pattern was validating or rendering one endpoint without tracing the same contract through its producer, durable representation, restore path, and sibling entry point.

Before another re-review, please perform one end-to-end contract pass for every newly advertised session capability. For each supported lifecycle path, trace: client request and validation; live state change and notification; exact session events written; fresh-process session/load reconstruction; fresh-process session/resume reconstruction; compaction projection; unavailable, corrupt, and interrupted persistence; and client-visible result shape. Test the real ACP producer path rather than manually inserting the event shapes that replay consumes. The regression suite should show that a completed tool turn, an interrupted tool turn, an edit with changed files, and an older legacy event all preserve the same truthful observable state after load that they had live. Keep the implementation narrow, but make the persistence writer and replay reader one deliberate, tested protocol pair.

Merge readiness

  • [P1] Rebase onto current main before merge
    internal/acp/agent.go:1
    The captured merge base (ad34dc8d) is behind live main (6fe0d1ed), which contains substantial ACP-adjacent changes. Rebase and have the resolved ACP diff re-reviewed so this branch is evaluated against current session behavior.

Findings

  • [P1] Complete the ACP tool-history replay added by this change
    internal/acp/agent.go:438
    session/load now rebuilds persisted tool-call and tool-result records as transcript updates, and the implementation explicitly describes tool activity as part of the restored conversation. However, ACP tool callbacks only emit live notifications: OnToolCall invokes note.toolCall, OnToolResult invokes note.toolResult, and persistTurn later writes only the user and final assistant messages. Consequently an ACP client that reconnects after an edit or command gets surrounding prose but no tool calls, output, or edit history. The replay test manually inserts tool events, so it never exercises ACP prompt to persistence to load.

    Fix the root cause at the callback-to-event-store boundary. Persist a start event and a terminal result event in callback order using the durable shape consumed by replay, before considering the turn durable. Retain fields required for replay. A start with no terminal result must stay non-terminal when loaded; do not label it completed solely because it is old. Preserve the current no-replay behavior of session/resume and do not widen this into an unrelated session-storage redesign.

  • [P2] Retain changed-file locations in replayed tool results
    internal/acp/agent.go:879
    The new replay converter reads name, call ID, status, and output but drops persisted changedFiles. It then calls the shared result translator with nil ChangedFiles; that translator creates ACP locations only from this field. A live edit result therefore offers file-navigation links while the same result loses them after session/load, even though the session data contains the paths. This affects existing CLI-recorded events now and ACP events after the producer above is fixed.

    Fix the projection instead of inferring locations from display text: decode the stored changedFiles string list and forward it through agent.ToolResult.ChangedFiles to the existing translator. Add a replay regression that persists an edit result with multiple changed files and asserts the reconstructed tool_call_update.locations exactly match a live update. Preserve legacy events with no paths and the existing compatibility fallback from toolCallId to id.
