Cursor SDK Chat Recovery -> main - #1121
Conversation
Three failures in Cursor SDK chats, all traced to how ADE drives @cursor/sdk 1.0.27 rather than to bad credentials: - Stale access token. The SDK exchanges the API key for a short-lived access token once per worker and only re-exchanges on a Connect Unauthenticated fault; an in-stream expiry (~60 min) surfaces as "Authentication error If you are logged in, try logging out and back in." and every later send on that worker fails instantly. ADE now recognises that exact signature, poisons the worker, resumes the SAME agent id in a fresh worker (fresh token exchange) and re-sends once — silently when nothing streamed yet, with a continuation instruction when the token died mid-turn. A second failure surfaces one honest card. Bad-key errors never trigger it. - Fork. A same-provider Cursor fork seeded the new agent with a 20-line conversation tail. It now replays the full fitted transcript (same path cross-provider forks use), and so does agent-rotation recovery. - Mid-turn steering. The SDK has no mid-run message API, so Cursor now gets the same active-turn split Send control Claude has, with two modes: Interrupt & continue (default: cancel run → settle → send as the next turn on the same thread, queued steers preserved) and Send after turn. One canonical per-provider dispatch table in shared/types drives desktop, TUI and (mirrored) iOS; dispatchSteer and `ade chat message --kind interrupt-replace` route Cursor the same way.

- 5 named regression tests for the quality findings (override forwarding on the Cursor redirect, single mention expansion, queued steers surviving a settle timeout, "already being dispatched" cancel copy) + consume-once assertions on the rotation replay test. - CLI: `ade chat steer --dispatch <inline|interrupt>` so atomic active-turn delivery is reachable from the CLI; help/README fork copy reflects the full-transcript Cursor fork. - TUI: /steer pane lists the dispatch commands the session's provider accepts; queue_full copy names the actual agent. - iOS: staged-strip promote buttons gated per mode + on the chat.dispatchSteer host action (Cursor gets Interrupt & continue); WorkActiveSendCapability mirror test. - Docs: chat/ade-code/ios-companion/remote-commands brought to final code.

- Register --dispatch/--dispatch-mode as value-carrier flags so flag order can't swallow the session id positional. - Gate steerMessage's dispatchMode on the session's own provider, not the picked model's — the session backend is what receives the IPC call.

The iOS app is not built by PR CI, and three recent merges each landed a compile break that the next one hid: - WorkSessionDestinationView passed onOpenParentSession right after onOpenLane, but memberwise-init argument order follows property declaration order in WorkChatSessionView, where it sits after the model controls (#1117). - SyncService.errorByClearingAmbiguousRouteAuthFailure is called from the connection race's task-group closures off the main actor; it is a pure NSError rewrite, so mark it nonisolated (#1120). - WorkChatSessionView.body had grown into one ~300-line expression chain; the x86_64 simulator slice hit the type-checker's "unable to type-check in reasonable time" ceiling (#1121). Split it into bounded helpers (transcriptScrollView / chatColumn / timelineScrollHandlers / sessionLifecycleHandlers / feedbackAndSheets) with the identical view tree and modifier order. Verified: xcodebuild build-for-testing succeeds for the ADE scheme (simulator, both arches); ADETests runs 1494 tests with 6 failures that predate this branch (PR-list workflow context, roster delta, sync recovery policy — tracked separately).

* ci: build and test the iOS app on every PR The iOS app was the only ADE surface with zero CI coverage; three consecutive merges (#1117, #1120, #1121) each landed a Swift compile break, and 6 ADETests failures accumulated invisibly. New test-ios job on macos-26 (Xcode 26) builds the ADE scheme for testing and runs ADETests. It always runs — ci-pass deliberately counts "skipped" as failure — but exits success immediately on PRs that don't touch apps/ios/** or ci.yml, so non-iOS PRs pay only runner spin-up. SPM packages cached on Package.resolved. Make the suite it gates green (1494 tests, 0 failures locally): - Three PR-list tests still built 'queue' group fixtures; queue workflows were removed in 1b3d33b and the joins narrowed to integration groups. Fixtures now use 'integration'; the scoping/filter subjects and every other assertion are unchanged. - testFilterPullRequestListItemsMatchesStateAndSearch asserted a search for "review" returns one row, but both fixtures contain "review" in title/branch — wrong since the day it landed (4f18960); state narrowing is covered by the following assertions. - testRosterCleanExitAndLegacyPayloadRemainCompatible expected clean exit to settle; 31bac9b (#951) made settle declared-only. Expect .ended and additionally pin exitCode == 0. - testRelayCandidateRuntimeIgnoresReadyBeforeAccepted raced a real 350 ms negotiation deadline against the host scheduler. The budget is now a SyncConnectionRaceBudget field (production defaults byte-identical) and the test hook widens only that window; assertions untouched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * ci: let the iOS test host sign ad-hoc; surface full failure detail CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO left the test host unsigned, so simulator keychain access failed with missing-entitlement errors in the account sign-out and DPoP proof tests (they pass locally, where the host signs ad-hoc). Also replace output truncation with -quiet and upload the .xcresult bundle on failure so CI failures are diagnosable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * ci: address review — persist-credentials off, timeout test keeps a real window - test-ios checkout no longer persists the GITHUB_TOKEN into .git/config; xcodebuild runs PR-controlled build phases and needs no authenticated git. - awaitRelayCandidateReadyForTesting takes an acceptedWindowNanoseconds override; the negotiation-timeout test passes 50ms so it exercises the timeout path without sitting out the wide scheduling-safe window (SyncRecoveryPolicyTests back to ~9s).
