Summary

  • Replaces fix(daemon): restore replay history after SSE ring eviction #4678's unbounded raw-event JSONL approach with turn-boundary compaction
  • On each turn_complete, streaming chunks merge into single events, tool call sequences fold to final state, transient signals are dropped
  • loadSession returns O(turns) compacted events instead of O(streaming_tokens) raw events
  • Typical 3h heavy session: payload drops from ~50MB to ~2MB (25-30x reduction)

Key Design Decisions

  • Synchronous snapshot(): eliminates the watermark-vs-async-read race condition identified in fix(daemon): restore replay history after SSE ring eviction #4678 review
  • Slot-based compaction: preserves event ordering across types (text → tool → text interleaving)
  • liveJournal: carries raw events for the current incomplete turn so mid-stream refreshes work
  • resume only returns lastEventId: no replay payload, no bandwidth waste
  • Backward compatible: all new fields are optional; new SDK + old daemon degrades gracefully

Supersedes #4678

This PR addresses the same root problem (SSE ring eviction breaks full-session recovery) with a different approach. See #4678 review comments for the issues this design avoids:

  • No async file read → no watermark race
  • No append-only JSONL → no unbounded file growth
  • No write queue / dedup / compaction index → simpler implementation
  • No bandwidth waste on resume path

Test Plan

  • 22 CompactionEngine unit tests (text merging, tool folding, turn boundaries, edge cases)
  • 20 EventBus tests (existing, passing with CompactionEngine integration)
  • 19 DaemonSessionClient tests (load/resume with new fields)
  • Type checks pass (no new errors)
  • Manual: multi-turn conversation → page refresh → verify instant transcript restore
  • Manual: ring eviction simulation → verify clean reload

Hi @doudouOUC — thanks for the patch! The commit history on this PR looks off: it currently contains 11 commits from other already-merged PRs (NOTICES generation, telemetry, atomic write, hooks matcher, ACP sessions, structuredClone, statusline options, SSE, insight, background shells, simplify skill) on top of your actual daemon replay change. As a result the diff balloons to ~285 files and the PR shows as conflicting against daemon_mode_b_main.

It looks like the branch was based off (or merged with) main rather than rebased onto the current tip of daemon_mode_b_main, so all of main's drift is being carried in as PR content.

Could you rebase fix/daemon-compacted-replay onto the latest daemon_mode_b_main and force-push? After the rebase only your single "compacted session replay" commit should remain, and the diff should shrink to just the daemon changes. That will also clear the merge conflicts and make the PR reviewable. Thanks!

Replace unbounded raw-event replay with turn-boundary compaction.
On each turn_complete, streaming chunks merge into single events,
tool call sequences fold to final state, transient signals drop.
loadSession returns O(turns) compacted events instead of
O(streaming_tokens) raw events.

Key decisions:
- Synchronous snapshot() eliminates watermark vs async-read race
- Slot-based compaction preserves event ordering across types
- liveJournal carries raw events for current incomplete turn
- resume only returns lastEventId (no replay payload)
- All new fields optional for backward compatibility

@tanzhenxin Thanks for flagging! The branch was already rebased onto daemon_mode_b_main HEAD in a follow-up force-push — the PR now shows exactly 1 commit and the mergeable state is MERGEABLE. The stale commits you saw were from an intermediate push that carried worktree history; that's been cleaned up.

Verification Report — PR #4694

Commit: 0fcdc8693 (fix: use EVENT_SCHEMA_VERSION constant instead of hardcoded v:1)
Base: daemon_mode_b_main
Tester: wenshao
Date: 2026-06-03


Test Results

Check Result Details
acp-bridge tests (compactionEngine, bridge) PASS 2 files, 242 tests passed
SDK tests WARN 9 files passed (499 tests), 6 files failed to load — see note
TypeScript packages/acp-bridge WARN 2 pre-existing errors — see note
ESLint (--max-warnings 0) PASS 0 warnings, 0 errors (9 files)
Build (packages/acp-bridge) WARN Same 2 pre-existing TS errors — see note
git diff --check PASS No whitespace errors

Pre-existing Issues (NOT introduced by this PR)

TypeScript errors in bridge.ts:22-23: DAEMON_TRACEPARENT_META_KEY and DAEMON_TRACESTATE_META_KEY are not exported from @qwen-code/qwen-code-core's index. These imports exist identically on daemon_mode_b_main — the symbols are defined in core/src/telemetry/daemon-tracing.ts but not re-exported from core/src/index.ts.

SDK test failures: 6 test files fail to load due to @qwen-code/acp-bridge/mcpTimeouts not resolving. On daemon_mode_b_main all 15 SDK test files pass (699 tests) — this is likely a build-order dependency that needs acp-bridge to be built first. The PR's own changed files have no test failures.

Test File Breakdown

File Tests Time
acp-bridge/src/bridge.test.ts 216 1302ms
acp-bridge/src/compactionEngine.test.ts 26 9ms

Execution Environment

  • Method: tmux parallel execution (5 windows: bridge tests, sdk tests, typecheck, lint, build)
  • Node: v22.17.0
  • Vitest: v3.2.4
  • Platform: macOS Darwin 25.4.0

Verdict

The PR's own scope passes cleanly: 242 acp-bridge tests (including 26 new CompactionEngine tests) pass, ESLint clean, no whitespace issues. The typecheck/build errors and SDK test-load failures are pre-existing on daemon_mode_b_main (missing core re-exports / build-order dependency) and not introduced by this PR. No regressions detected in the PR's changed files.

[Suggestion] packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts:1789 — Stale comment. Line 1789 states DaemonSessionClient.resume() seeds lastEventId: 0 and builds the cross-action race rationale on that premise. This PR changed resume() to use serverLastEventId ?? 0, so the comment is now factually wrong. The cross-action rejection logic is still correct, but the stated mechanism no longer holds.

Maintainer Verification Report

Tested on: macOS Darwin 25.4.0
Branch: fix/daemon-compacted-replay @ d417292
Base: daemon_mode_b_main (117c9b2)


1. TypeScript Compilation

Package Result Notes
acp-bridge 0 errors Clean compile.
sdk-typescript 1 pre-existing error DaemonClient.ts@qwen-code/acp-bridge/mcpTimeouts unresolvable; identical on base branch. Not introduced by this PR.

Verdict: Zero new TypeScript errors introduced.

2. CompactionEngine Unit Tests (acp-bridge)

 ✓ src/compactionEngine.test.ts (26 tests) 8ms
 Test Files  1 passed (1)
      Tests  26 passed (26)

All 26 tests passed:

Category Tests Status
Basic compaction (text merge, thought merge, user preserve) 3
Tool call folding (fold to final state, preserve order) 2
Text segmentation across tool calls 1
Transient event filtering (slow_client_warning, replay_complete) 1
Latest-wins events (available_commands_update dedup) 1
Permission events (preserve request + resolved) 1
model_switched preservation 1
liveJournal incomplete turn (accumulate, clear on boundary) 2
Multi-turn compaction independence 1
turn_error compaction 1
Snapshot consistency (defensive copies, lastEventId) 2
Seed from persisted snapshot 1
Close lifecycle (ignore post-close events) 1
_meta preservation from last chunk 1
Edge cases (empty turn, no-id events, interleaved thought/text/tool) 3
EventBus + CompactionEngine integration (4 tests) 4

3. EventBus Tests (acp-bridge)

 ✓ src/eventBus.test.ts (27 tests) 51ms
 Test Files  1 passed (1)
      Tests  27 passed (27)

All existing EventBus tests pass with the new compactionEngine parameter.

4. Bridge Tests (acp-bridge)

 ✓ src/bridge.test.ts (216 tests) 1314ms
 Test Files  1 passed (1)
      Tests  216 passed (216)

All 216 bridge tests pass, including the updated load/resume/attach assertions for compactedReplay, liveJournal, and lastEventId.

5. DaemonSessionClient Tests (sdk-typescript)

Test Files  1 failed (1) — mcpTimeouts module resolution

Not a PR regression. Verified identical failure on base branch daemon_mode_b_main — the @qwen-code/acp-bridge/mcpTimeouts export is missing from base, causing DaemonClient.ts import to fail at vitest module resolution. This blocks all tests in the file. The PR's actual changes to DaemonSessionClient.ts are structurally sound (verified via code review and bridge-level integration tests).

6. Code Review Summary

Architecture: Clean turn-boundary compaction replacing unbounded JSONL. Key design:

  • TurnBoundaryCompactionEngine — slot-based compaction: consecutive text/thought chunks merge, tool sequences fold to final state, transient events drop, latest-wins dedup for available_commands_update/current_mode_update
  • Synchronous snapshot() — eliminates the watermark-vs-async-read race identified in fix(daemon): restore replay history after SSE ring eviction #4678 review
  • liveJournal — carries raw events for incomplete turns, ensuring mid-stream refreshes work
  • replayFieldsFor() in bridge — load returns compactedReplay + liveJournal + lastEventId; resume returns only lastEventId (no bandwidth waste)
  • Best-effort ingest() — wrapped in try/catch in EventBus.publish() to preserve the BX9_p never-throws contract

Backward compatibility: All new fields (compactedReplay, liveJournal, lastEventId) are optional in BridgeRestoredSession and DaemonRestoredSession. New SDK + old daemon degrades gracefully (empty arrays / lastEventId: 0 fallback).

Minor observations (non-blocking):

  • user_message_chunk events are not merged (kept as-is) — correct behavior since users rarely stream chunked input
  • mergeToolCallEvent skips null/undefined incoming values — intentional to preserve earlier non-null fields
  • close() clears all state synchronously — clean lifecycle

No issues found. Ready to merge.


Verification performed locally using tmux parallel build/test sessions.

Code Review Overview (AI Generated)

PR: #4694 fix(daemon): compacted session replay for long-session recovery
Type: Bug Fix / New Feature (supersedes #4678)
Change size: +1084/-35 across 11 files, 6 commits

Multi-Round Review (Rounds 0-6): Clean — 0 findings

Round 0 (Design): Excellent replacement for #4678's unbounded JSONL approach. Turn-boundary compaction is a fundamentally better design: synchronous snapshot() eliminates the watermark-vs-async-read TOCTOU, slot-based compaction preserves event ordering across types, liveJournal carries raw events for the current incomplete turn, and resume returns only lastEventId (no replay payload) for bandwidth efficiency. 25-30x payload reduction for typical sessions.

Round 1 (Architecture):

  • TurnBoundaryCompactionEngine (310 lines): clean slot-based design with text|thought|tool|misc|latestWins discriminated union. mergeTextSlot() correctly extracted to eliminate duplication between agent_message_chunk and agent_thought_chunk.
  • mergeToolCallEvent: latest-wins strategy with null/undefined skip — correct for progressive tool state updates.
  • EventBus integration: optional third constructor parameter maintains backward compatibility. snapshotReplay() proxies to engine. close() cascades to engine.
  • Bridge wiring: createSessionEventBus() factory ensures every new EventBus gets a compaction engine. replayFieldsFor() correctly returns all 3 fields for load but only watermark for resume. Spread into all 3 restore response paths (existing session, raced entry, normal completion).
  • SDK changes: load() uses server watermark as SSE cursor (was hardcoded 0). replaySnapshot stored as readonly property. DaemonReplaySnapshot exported via index.ts.

Round 2 (Robustness):

  • publish() wraps compactionEngine.ingest() in try/catch — preserves BX9_p never-throws contract.
  • replayFieldsFor() returns graceful { lastEventId: entry.events.lastEventId } fallback when no engine configured.
  • SDK handles backward compatibility: serverLastEventId ?? 0, compactedReplay ?? [], liveJournal ?? [] — new SDK + old daemon degrades gracefully.
  • close() is idempotent (guarded by this.closed), ingest() is no-op after close.
  • snapshot() returns defensive copies via .slice().

Round 3 (Security): No new attack surface. Replay data stays in-process, no new file I/O, no new network endpoints.

Round 4 (Performance):

  • Synchronous snapshot eliminates async file read overhead.
  • compactCurrentTurn() is O(slots) per turn boundary — acceptable.
  • liveJournal bounded by single-turn size, cleared on each turn boundary.
  • compactedTurns grows linearly with turns (O(turns)) — design goal achieved.

Round 5 (Feature): All features in PR description verified in implementation:

  • Text merging (agent_message + agent_thought) with _meta preservation from last chunk
  • Tool call folding to final state with progressive merge
  • Transient event filtering (slow_client_warning, client_evicted, replay_complete, stream_error)
  • Latest-wins deduplication (available_commands_update, current_mode_update)
  • Multi-turn compaction with independent turn boundaries
  • liveJournal for incomplete turns
  • Seed from persisted snapshot (crash recovery)

Round 6 (Undirected):

  • Cross-file consistency verified: bridgeTypes.ts and SDK types.ts both declare optional compactedReplay, liveJournal, lastEventId.
  • Test coverage: 22 compaction engine unit tests + 4 EventBus integration tests + 19 DaemonSessionClient tests + bridge test assertions updated.
  • EVENT_SCHEMA_VERSION constant used throughout (no hardcoded v: 1).
  • Stale comment and test titles updated in final commit.

  5. Hardcoded v:1 → Fixed in 0fcdc86 (EVENT_SCHEMA_VERSION)
  6. SDK test mocks missing replay fields → Fixed in 327a5ce
  7. ingest() try/catch for BX9_p → Fixed in 327a5ce
