fix(acp): v1 agents' own-turn permission requests no longer break the thread - #35061
The review item is correct. Handlers are wired before runtime.start/load. A permission request that a v1 agent sends during session/load, while resuming a running turn (the Mistral Vibe case in the issue comment), set agentTurnOutsidePrompt, and setActiveSessionSetup then cleared it unconditionally, so the next prompt skipped session/cancel. Change: the marker is now reset at the start of wireAcpRuntimeHandlers, before the runtime's start/load, and no longer in setActiveSessionSetup, so a callback from the incoming session's activation survives. Because followsAgentWorkState can still hold the previous session's value during activation, the permission handler now sets the marker whenever no turn is open. The prompt site clears it and sends session/cancel only when the session does not follow agent work state, so the Claude v2 path is unchanged. I extended the existing repro test 'answers a permission request the agent sends after its turn settled': a wrapped runtime.start invokes the registered permission handler before returning. The test asserts that request is answered allow-once, and that the runtime calls are [cancel, prompt, cancel, prompt]. Against the previous head's adapter it fails with [prompt, cancel, prompt]. No new regex or parser.
On origin/main b68aedf, I ran T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev (web) with a local ACP registry provider (source: local) pointing at a scratch ACP agent. The agent answers initialize with protocolVersion 1. It ends the first session/prompt with end_turn, then 4 s later starts its own turn and sends session/request_permission. Until it receives session/cancel, it rejects every session/prompt with -32602 'Invalid params'. In the web UI I selected that provider and sent 'Start the background task'. The reply arrived and the turn settled. The agent's out-of-turn session/request_permission was answered 4 ms later with JSON-RPC -32603 "ACP request handler failed for method 'session/request_permission'", and no approval UI appeared. I then sent 'Second message' and 'Third message'. Each went out as session/prompt with no session/cancel before it (the agent log shows zero cancel notifications), and each failed. The thread showed 'Provider error: Invalid params' and was marked Failed. Failing test: AcpAdapterV2.test.ts 'answers a permission request the agent sends after its turn settled' fails on main with AcpTransportError cause 'No active ACP turn'.
Evidence
Real web app, Chromium, 1280×800, light theme, fresh databases with seeding disabled. Both commits used the same local ACP v1 fixture and scenario.
Steps: send Start the background task; let the first turn settle; the agent requests permission four seconds later; send Second message, then Third message.
scenarios:prove exited 0: failsOnBase=true, passesOnHead=true. AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Not shown:
Interactive approval UI was not exercised: the fixture requested a read operation that the runtime policy automatically allowed on head.
Continuation resumed during session/load was not exercised; this reproduction starts the agent-side turn after the first prompt settles.
Desktop, mobile, and ACP agents advertising agent work state were not exercised.
Tests
In apps/server: vp test run src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts -t "after its turn settled" passes; with the previous head's adapter.ts it fails with [prompt, cancel, prompt]. Full files: AcpAdapterV2.test.ts 105/105, AcpRegistryAdapterV2.test.ts 34/34, GrokAdapterV2.test.ts 10/10 passed. vp run check:changed: everything passed except format. I ran vp fmt on the two files; vp fmt --check then passed, and the commit hook's fmt, lint and knip passed. After formatting I reran only the targeted test, which passed.
Not in this change
With an 'ask' policy, a v1 agent's own-turn permission request is answered cancelled rather than shown as an approval. Showing it would need a T3 turn to attach to, meaning provider continuation turns for v1 registry flavors, which today only Grok (enablePostSettleContinuation) and Claude on v2 have.
Other agent-to-client requests that still go through activeContext (around the user-input and elicitation handlers) fail the same way when no turn is open; I left them alone because the report and repro cover only session/request_permission.
The issue comment also asks that 'A turn is already running', with no T3 run attached, recover by sending session/cancel and retrying, and that interrupt or stop send session/cancel when no run exists. Those are separate startTurn and interrupt paths that the review item did not cover.
With an 'ask' policy, a permission request from a turn the agent started itself is still answered cancelled rather than shown as an approval, because a v1 registry flavor has no T3 turn to attach it to.

Fails on main: a session/request_permission the agent sends with no
session/prompt outstanding (continuation turn after a background task)
is rejected with "No active ACP turn". Repro for #23552.

… thread
An ACP v1 agent that started a turn on its own (for example after a
background task) and asked for permission was rejected with "No active
ACP turn", and the next session/prompt went out without a session/cancel,
so the agent answered every later message with Invalid params.
The permission handler now decides allow/deny from the latest runtime
policy when no T3 turn is open, answers "ask" with cancelled instead of
failing, and remembers that the agent is running its own turn so the next
prompt sends session/cancel first.
Fixes#23552

…ion load
A v1 agent can resume a running turn during session/load and ask for
permission before activation returns. That callback set the cancel marker,
but setActiveSessionSetup then cleared it, so the next prompt still went
out without session/cancel. Reset the marker when a runtime's handlers are
wired, before start/load, and skip the cancel only at prompt time for
agents that follow agent work state.

If a replacement runtime terminates during startup, the existing runtime loses agentTurnOutsidePrompt even though the candidate is rejected; its next prompt then skips the required cancel and loses this recovery path. wireAcpRuntimeHandlers clears the marker before startReplacementAcpRuntime checks candidateLifecycle, so preserve the old marker until the replacement is committed or restore it if startup fails.

The ACP adapter now handles permission requests made without an active turn by returning a cancelled response and tracking the v1 agent’s outside-prompt work. Before the next prompt, it cancels the runtime when that work is tracked. A live adapter test checks the response and call order.

Summary
Handle permission requests without an active turn packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts
The adapter tracks permission requests made without an active turn. It returns a cancelled response instead of starting a pending approval.
Cancel outside-prompt work before the next prompt packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/AcpAdapterV2.test.ts
Before sending the next prompt, the adapter cancels the runtime when tracked v1 agent work is present. The test checks the cancelled permission response and verifies the call order.
Issue 26852 concerns a permission request without an active turn during session/set_model. This PR changes the no-active-turn permission path, but the set_model case is not confirmed as fixed.
Possibly related PRs
pingdotgg/t3code#33683: Changes which ACP Registry sessions follow agent work state, a contract relevant to this PR’s cancellation branch.
pingdotgg/t3code#26870: Changes the same v1 no-active-turn permission handling and the session activation path.
The change makes permission requests from an agent outside a turn get a cancelled reply, and cancels the agent's own work before the next prompt. The approval-required case of that reply has no test, so a regression there would go unnoticed. No concrete failure was found, so this is safe to merge with a small follow-up test.

Explanation
The title names the fix and its area: v1 agents' own-turn permission requests no longer break the thread, with the scope tagged as acp. It matches the changeset, which makes the permission handler set the outside-prompt marker and cancels before the next prompt. It is specific enough that a teammate scanning history would understand the primary change.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All production changes are in packages/provider-acp/src/server/adapter.ts. They touch the permission handler (activeTurn lookup, marker set, cancelled response when no turn is open), the marker reset in wireAcpRuntimeHandlers before runtime start/load, and the prompt site that clears the marker and sends session/cancel when the session does not follow agent work state. Each change ties to issue #23552's v1 continuation-turn permission failure. The test change in AcpAdapterV2.test.ts extends the repro for that path. The PR description lists related but unaddressed handlers (activeContext users for user-input and elicitation) and separate startTurn and interrupt paths as excluded. No unrelated change was found in the reviewed diff.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template and is detailed. It states the problem (ACP v1 agent permission requests after a settled turn are answered with -32603, and follow-up prompts fail without session/cancel), the change (the marker reset moves into wireAcpRuntimeHandlers, and the permission handler sets it when no turn is open), and the scope (session/request_permission only, with 'ask' policy cancelling instead of showing approval). It links the issue (#23552) and explains why no separate issue is needed. Verification is thorough: a before/after reproduction on main, the failing and passing targeted test, full test file counts, and formatting and lint results. Limitations are listed under 'Not shown' and 'Not in this change'. The description does not use a conventional commit title, which the template asks for. The 'Problem' and 'Change' headings are present but not labeled exactly as in the template, which is a minor gap. The model and harness used are named only as 'AI-assisted', without naming the model and harness, which the template asks for when an agent did the work.

Explanation
Issue #23552 has three expected behaviors. (1) Handle a v1 continuation-turn session/request_permission without a failing activeContext lookup: met. The permission handler in adapter.ts now reads activeTurn instead of activeContext. When no turn is open it sets agentTurnOutsidePrompt and returns cancelled, so the request no longer fails with 'No active ACP turn'. Ask-policy requests get cancelled, not an approval UI. (2) When a new prompt is sent while an agent-side turn runs, send session/cancel before session/prompt, following turns.supportsSteeringByInterruptRestart: partially met. The prompt site sends runtime.cancel only when agentTurnOutsidePrompt is set by a prior permission request. It does not consult supportsSteeringByInterruptRestart, and it does not cover an agent-side turn with no permission request before the prompt. (3) At minimum, one failed request must not poison the session: met for the permission path by the targeted test, which expects [cancel, prompt, cancel, prompt]. The PR description states that the start-turn and interrupt recovery paths from the issue comment are not covered. Requirement (2) is unmet in its general form. Test evidence was reported by the author but not re-run in this review.
Resolution
Make the prompt path send session/cancel before session/prompt when an agent-side turn is still running and the recorded provider capability (turns.supportsSteeringByInterruptRestart) indicates interrupt-and-restart steering. Add a test that covers an agent-side running turn without a preceding permission request. Keep the existing marker behavior for permission-driven cases.

Extend this case to cover the outside-turn ask response.
Both requests use full-access, so the test does not exercise the new null-context ask fallback. Extend this case with an approval-required policy. Assert that the outside-turn request returns cancelled without creating a pending approval, then verify that the next turn can start.
As per coding guidelines, “Backend behavior changes ship with focused tests for that behavior.” The path instructions also require extending an existing case where one fits.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Preserve cancellation state when cancellation fails.
If runtime.cancel fails while the agent remains busy, this code discards the error and sends the prompt anyway. The marker is already false. If that prompt fails because the agent is busy, the next attempt skips cancellation unless another permission request sets the marker.
Retain or restore the marker on cancellation failure. Fail the start operation or require runtime recovery instead of sending a prompt into the unchanged agent turn.
