What Changed

Handle failed Codex App Server exit-status effects in the runtime watcher. Mark the session as errored, clear its active turn, and emit the existing session/exited event with a diagnostic. Numeric exit statuses and intentional shutdown keep their existing behavior.

Why

Effect Node reports signal termination, including SIGKILL, through the failure channel of child.exitCode. The watcher only handled successful numeric results, so a killed process could leave its thread apparently active. The next turn then failed with ProviderAdapterSessionClosedError.

Emitting the missing event lets the existing stopped-session and native-thread resume path run on the next turn. This does not retry or replay the interrupted request.

Related: #10798 and #10799. The latter cleans up adapter sessions after receiving an exit event; this change ensures signal termination produces that event.

Testing

  • Real-process SIGKILL regression fails on the original watcher and passes with this fix, including resuming the same native thread and sending a new turn.
  • Numeric exit codes 0 and 7 and intentional shutdown are covered.
  • 105 focused tests pass: runtime integration (13), runtime unit (40), and adapter (52).
  • Server typecheck, targeted lint, formatting, and diff checks pass.
  • Tested on Linux. The new process-fixture tests skip Windows.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes (not applicable)
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes (not applicable)

Implemented with GPT-5.6 Luna; reviewed with GPT-6 Astra, using the Codex harness in T3 Code.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved session handling when the Codex process exits unexpectedly.
    • Sessions now report accurate closed or error states, preserve exit details, clear active turns, and emit the appropriate exit event.
    • Fixed cases where exit-processing failures left sessions without an updated status or exit notification.
  • Tests

    • Added recovery coverage for interrupted sessions, including resume behavior, exit statuses, cleanup, intentional closes, unexpected exits, and terminal events.

Handle failed exit-status effects so signal termination emits the session exit event needed by the existing resume path. Cover killed-process recovery, numeric exit statuses, and intentional shutdown with process fixtures.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at f3551ac

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused Codex runtime bug fix that converts signal-termination failures into the existing session-exit handling path while preserving normal exits and intentional shutdown. The production change is small and self-contained, with process-level regression tests covering recovery behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now maps app-server exit outcomes to session state and terminal events. Integration tests add scripted recovery behavior and verify resume-cursor retention, thread/resume requests, cleanup, exit statuses, and intentional-close handling.

Changes

Codex runtime exit recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Exit state and event handling
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/CodexSessionRuntime.ts
The exit-code handler maps failures and exit codes to session status and messages, clears the active turn, updates the session, and emits session/exited unless the session was intentionally closed.
Recovery and exit integration coverage
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/CodexCollabRuntime.integration.test.ts
The tests add decoders and a scripted peer, then validate SIGKILL recovery, resume-cursor retention, thread/resume with excludeTurns, cleanup, exit statuses, and terminal events.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f5481

App-server exits now reliably update session state and emit terminal diagnostics, while recovery tests avoid response-pipe truncation before fixture shutdown. No current merge-blocking risk remains.

Flush stdout before exiting.

recoveryPeerSource writes the turn/start response and notifications to piped process.stdout, then this branch calls process.exit. Pending writes can be discarded, leaving client.raw.request("turn/start") in sendTurn without a response and causing a timeout. End stdout and exit from its completion callback.

♻️ Proposed fix in the generated peer script
-    if (process.env.T3_CODEX_RECOVERY_EXIT_CODE !== undefined) process.exit(Number(process.env.T3_CODEX_RECOVERY_EXIT_CODE));
+    if (process.env.T3_CODEX_RECOVERY_EXIT_CODE !== undefined) {
+      const code = Number(process.env.T3_CODEX_RECOVERY_EXIT_CODE);
+      process.stdout.end(() => process.exit(code));

Wait for piped responses to flush before the fixture exits so numeric-exit coverage cannot hang on a truncated response.
