Summary

  • Resolves [Compatibility] Cursor Computer Use / node_repl tool results come back empty or truncated #1866 ([Compatibility] Cursor Computer Use / node_repl tool results come back empty or truncated).
  • Adds payload compaction and error state normalization for Computer Use and node_repl tool calls in Cursor adapters (src/adapters/cursor/tool-result-compaction.ts):
    • Normalizes empty/whitespace tool outputs and empty outer exec wrappers into actionable error messages with guidance to inspect node_repl history or emit output.
    • Normalizes known runtime failure states (SkyComputerUseError, Identifier 'x' has already been declared, sky is not defined, unsupported import in exec) as recoverable tool errors with clear remediation steps.
    • Compresses and strips base64 screenshot representations (data:image/..., "screenshot": "...", raw JPEG/PNG byte markers) to avoid overflowing external replay budgets while preserving actionable text.
    • Implements structure-aware accessibility tree (AXTree) compaction that preserves vital application context (active window title, URL, focused controls, and immediate actionable controls) under tight byte constraints.
  • Updates Cursor request builders (src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts and src/adapters/cursor/request-builder.ts):
    • Ensures tool result compaction occurs prior to hard byte truncation.
    • Protects active trailing tool results from being completely discarded under severe external replay budget constraints by retaining a minimal marker.
    • Marks error states accurately as [Tool Error] on wire replays.
  • Closes [Compatibility] Cursor Computer Use / node_repl tool results come back empty or truncated #1866.

Verification

  • Added comprehensive test suite in tests/cursor-computer-use-replay.test.ts (16 test cases) covering:
    • Empty outer exec wrapper normalization.
    • Base64 screenshot stripping and AXTree compaction with window title & URL preservation.
    • SkyComputerUseError application state change detection and guidance.
    • node_repl variable redeclarations, missing sky globals, and unsupported imports.
    • End-to-end multi-turn Computer Use replay on cursor/grok-4.6.
  • Verified test suites and gates:
    • bun run typecheck (Passed, 0 errors)
    • bun run privacy:scan (Passed)
    • bun test tests/cursor-*.test.ts (617 tests passed across 33 files, 0 failures)

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cursor tool results now share normalization, Computer Use compaction, UTF-8-safe truncation, and wire serialization across request construction and protobuf replay. Active oversized results can retain a minimal truncation marker. Tests cover recovery errors, metadata preservation, byte limits, and nested-call replay.

Changes

Cursor tool-result processing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tool-result normalization and compaction
src/adapters/cursor/tool-result-compaction.ts, tests/cursor-computer-use-replay.test.ts
Computer Use and node_repl results are detected and normalized. Known empty-output and runtime errors receive recovery guidance. Screenshots and base64 data are removed when needed. Accessibility metadata is preserved within UTF-8-safe byte limits.
Shared formatting and protobuf replay
src/adapters/cursor/request-builder.ts, src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts, tests/cursor-computer-use-replay.test.ts
Request construction and protobuf replay use shared wire formatting and formatter-derived error status. Oversized active results can fall back to a minimal truncation marker. End-to-end tests validate root replay limits, nested-call errors, metadata retention, and screenshot removal.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f7585

This PR changes how tool results are normalized, compacted, and replayed, but the current implementation can misclassify unrelated tools, provide misleading recovery guidance, exceed replay limits, lose result correlation, and truncate actionable application context. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

280-298: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The new minimal-marker fallback at lines 286-297 is unreachable.

truncateToolResultBlob guarantees that every non-null return already fits the limit it was given: line 128 returns the entry only when entry.byteLength <= maxBytes, and lines 140, 155, and 164 each return a candidate only after the same check. Line 273 already maps every active entry through truncateToolResultBlob(entry, historyBudget), and line 274 removes the null results.

Therefore, after line 274, every surviving entry satisfies byteLength <= historyBudget. When active.length === 1, activeBytes equals that single entry's byteLength, so the condition activeBytes > historyBudget at line 280 is always false. The re-truncation at line 281 and the whole minimal-marker fallback at lines 286-297 never execute.

The #1866 protection is delivered only by the else if branch at lines 299-309, which handles the case where every active entry was dropped as null. Remove the unreachable block so the retained behavior is the one that actually runs, and so a future reader does not rely on dead protection.

♻️ Proposed fix: collapse the unreachable branch
-    if (active.length === 1 && active[0] && activeBytes > historyBudget) {
-      const truncated = truncateToolResultBlob(active[0], historyBudget);
-      if (truncated) {
-        active[0] = truncated;
-        activeBytes = truncated.byteLength;
-      } else {
-        const minimal = rootBlobCandidate(
-          { role: "user", content: [{ type: "text", text: `[Tool Result]\n${CURSOR_TRUNCATION_MARKER.trimStart()}` }] },

formatToolResultToWireText so each result receives only a per-result share of
the total CURSOR_EXTERNAL_ROOT_BYTE_LIMIT rather than the full root budget.
Reserve space for the result prefix, formatting headers, and root envelope when
calculating that share, and apply the same bounded calculation at every
history-result call site so combined replay output remains within the root
budget.

- Around line 517-523: Update the external replay turn construction in the

In `@src/adapters/cursor/request-builder.ts`:
- Line 220: Update the requestMessage/toolResultToText serialization path around
formatToolResultToWireText to explicitly document that no byte budget applies,
or pass the appropriate maxBytes limit if this path has a budget. Add a focused
regression test covering the emitted wire output, including normalized is_error
and rewritten error text behavior.

In `@src/adapters/cursor/tool-result-compaction.ts`:
- Around line 9-52: Restrict generic tool names such as click, scroll, and
screenshot to matching node_repl or computer_use namespaces in
isNodeReplOrComputerUseTool, while keeping only unambiguous names eligible for
name-only matching. In tests/cursor-computer-use-replay.test.ts lines 42-48,
pass a Computer Use namespace for the positive click case and add negative cases
for click with mcp__playwright and js with mcp__quickjs.
- Around line 106-114: Update the SkyComputerUseError handling around the
focus-change match so the fabricated “user changed” sentence is prepended only
when the text matches “The user changed '...”. For other SkyComputerUseError
messages, prepend only the recovery guidance without inventing an application or
focus-change cause.
- Around line 93-104: Update the non-Computer-Use, non-error branch in the
empty-output handling of the tool-result compaction flow to preserve the
original text when EMPTY_EXEC_OUTPUT_REGEX matched an explicit empty-output
wrapper; only convert genuinely whitespace-only input to an empty string, while
keeping the existing error and Computer Use behavior unchanged.
- Around line 187-205: In src/adapters/cursor/tool-result-compaction.ts lines
187-205, update the AX context extraction loop to recognize window headers
rather than any line containing “window”, preserve the full URL in the trailer
note, and raise or remove the window text truncation. In
tests/cursor-computer-use-replay.test.ts lines 111-125, assert the complete URL

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Each tool result is given the entire root budget, so multi-turn replay still drops history.

CURSOR_EXTERNAL_ROOT_BYTE_LIMIT (line 71, 512 KiB) is the budget for the whole root prompt. Line 264 confirms this: historyBudget subtracts systemBytes from it, and the regression test sums every root blob against the same constant (tests/cursor-computer-use-replay.test.ts lines 244-246). Line 246 passes that total as the per-result maxBytes. Lines 376, 418, and 517 do the same.

Failure mode: in a session with several Computer Use results, each result is compacted to just under 512 KiB, so the sum still exceeds the budget. The pruning loop at lines 318-332 then discards whole prior turns instead of compacting them. That is the multi-turn case issue #1866 asks to fix, and the test at line 200 only covers a single tool result, so it does not exercise this path.

A second accounting gap compounds it. maxBytes bounds the output body only. formatToolResultToWireText adds five header lines, line 248 adds the [Tool Error] / [Tool Result] prefix, and rootBlobCandidate adds the JSON envelope. A result "compacted to the limit" is therefore always above the limit it was given.

Give history results a per-result share of the budget and reserve envelope headroom.

♻️ Proposed fix: introduce a per-result history share
+/**

+ * used per result: N results would each be allowed the full budget and force turn pruning (`#1866`).

Preserve tool-result correlation metadata in external replay turns

formatted.text contains only the output body. Use formatted.wireOutput at src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts:523 so each replayed tool result retains its call_id and tool name. Without these fields, external models cannot distinguish multiple tool results.

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

The request-builder path changes behavior with no regression test, and it silently skips the byte cap.

Two points on this line.

First, no maxBytes is passed. formatToolResultToWireText then calls compactComputerUsePayload(outputText, undefined), which returns at tool-result-compaction.ts line 173 after screenshot stripping only. This path therefore performs normalization and screenshot removal, but no size capping. If that is intended because this JSON message path has no budget, record it in a short comment, because every other call site passes a limit.

Second, this is a behavior change on a shared adapter path: toolResultToText now emits a normalized is_error value and rewritten error text, so a result that arrived with isError: false can be serialized as is_error: true. The new test file covers only protobuf-request.ts and tool-result-compaction.ts. Add a focused test for the requestMessage / toolResultToText output in this file.

Bare generic tool names are classified as Computer Use without a namespace. COMPUTER_USE_TOOL_NAMES holds names such as js, click, scroll, and screenshot, and line 35 matches them with no namespace requirement. A foreign MCP tool with a colliding name then has its empty result rewritten into an isError: true [Tool Error] with Computer Use recovery guidance. The new test asserts this behavior, so it is locked in.

  • src/adapters/cursor/tool-result-compaction.ts#L9-L52: split the set into unambiguous names matched by name alone and generic action names that require a node_repl or computer_use namespace.
  • tests/cursor-computer-use-replay.test.ts#L42-L48: change line 46 to pass a Computer Use namespace with click, and add negative cases such as isNodeReplOrComputerUseTool("click", "mcp__playwright") and isNodeReplOrComputerUseTool("js", "mcp__quickjs").

Line 101 discards <empty> output for non-Computer-Use tools.

EMPTY_EXEC_OUTPUT_REGEX matches wrappers such as Script completed ...\nOutput: <empty>. For a tool that is not classified as Computer Use and that did not error, line 101 replaces that text with "". The model previously saw the explicit <empty> marker, which states that the command ran and returned nothing. Now the model sees no output at all, and cannot distinguish "ran, produced nothing" from "result missing".

Keep the original text in this branch. Only collapse genuinely whitespace-only content to "".

🐛 Proposed fix: preserve the explicit empty-output marker
   const trimmed = text.trim();

Line 112 fabricates a "user changed" cause for every SkyComputerUseError.

SkyComputerUseError covers more than focus changes. When the text contains SkyComputerUseError but no The user changed ' substring, line 111 falls back to "the active application" and line 112 prepends SkyComputerUseError: The user changed 'the active application'. The model then reads an invented cause. For an unrelated Sky failure (permission denied, element not found, timeout), the model is told the user switched applications and is directed to re-query state instead of handling the real error.

Prepend only the recovery guidance when the focus-change match is absent, and keep the fabricated sentence for the matched case only.

Preserve complete AXTree window and URL context during compaction. The fallback summary truncates both values to 50 characters, so long URLs become unusable and the retained context may be misleading when any line merely contains window. Keep the URL whole, use a header-style match for the window field, and require the regression test to assert the complete URL https://github.com/lidge-jun/opencodex/issues/1866.

Line 46 pins the over-broad bare-name matching as intended behavior.

expect(isNodeReplOrComputerUseTool("click")).toBe(true) asserts that any tool named click, with no namespace at all, is Computer Use. That locks in the false-positive path described in the comment on src/adapters/cursor/tool-result-compaction.ts lines 9-52, where an unrelated tool named click has its empty result rewritten into a [Tool Error].

Add a negative case that a bare generic name from a foreign namespace is not classified, and align line 46 with the namespace-gated behavior.

No multi-turn coverage, although multi-turn replay is the stated objective.

Both end-to-end tests in this block build rawMessages with exactly one toolResult. The PR objectives list "multi-turn Computer Use replay" and "Avoid dropping the active trailing tool result during replay truncation". Neither is exercised.

The uncovered paths are concrete:

  • src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts lines 276-279 drop leading active entries only when several trailing toolResult entries exist.
  • Lines 299-309 add the minimal [Tool Result] marker only when every active entry was dropped.
  • The per-result budget defect described in the comment on lines 246-248 appears only when the sum of several results exceeds CURSOR_EXTERNAL_ROOT_BYTE_LIMIT.

Add a case with two or three consecutive oversized toolResult messages after one assistant turn. Assert that the total root byte length stays within CURSOR_EXTERNAL_ROOT_BYTE_LIMIT, that the last toolResult is still present in the roots, and that at least one earlier turn survives.
