fix(ollama-native): defer a mid-turn conversational message instead of refusing the replay

[briascoi]

Summary

src/adapters/ollama-native.ts treated every user/developer message as a hard boundary for an open tool batch. Codex records mid-turn context items inside a single turn (a PostToolUse hook verdict from hooks.json, a context notice), so one of them routinely lands between the assistant tool_calls message and that call's own tool result. buildNativeMessages flushed the batch, found a call whose result had not been seen yet, and threw:

ollama-native tool call call_x is missing its tool result; refusing interrupted replay

Codex surfaces that local validation failure as 502 Provider unreachable, and the item order is part of the persisted thread history, so every later turn of that thread failed the same way: the task could not be resumed, not even with a follow-up user message. #4842 carries the recorded item order of a real failing turn and a minimal reproduction.

The chat adapter already repairs this shape, so the native transport was the only one refusing it: src/adapters/openai-chat/messages.ts defers barrier messages until the tool round completes, reattaches the real results to their original call occurrence, and answers a call with no result anywhere in the history with an explicit no tool result was recorded tool message.

This change gives buildNativeMessages both behaviors, request-locally:

1. A user/developer message that arrives while a batch is open is held in a deferred list and released right after the batch flushes, so the call keeps its results adjacent.
2. A call with no result anywhere in the replayed history is answered with the explicit unknown-status tool message instead of aborting the request. This is the half that lets a thread interrupted mid-tool-call resume.

No process-global state is added, and the strict pair checks are untouched: an orphan result, a duplicate result for the same call, and a result naming another tool still throw.

Closes #4842. PRs target dev, so the issue needs a manual close once this lands there.

Verification

• bun test tests/providers/ollama/ollama-native.test.ts - 26 pass / 0 fail. The seven added cases assert that the hook-split boundary serializes as ["user", "assistant", "tool", "system"] with the real result attached, that out-of-order results inside a parallel batch still emit in call order, that an unresolvable call produces the unknown-status tool message, and that a deferred user message keeps its text and images after the tool result, and that the orphan and duplicate guards still throw.
• Same test file with src/adapters/ollama-native.ts restored to dev: 5 tests failed, and they are the behavioral cases among the added ones. They are regression tests, not a description of current behavior.
• bun run typecheck - clean.
• bun run privacy:scan - passed. bun run structure:check - passed, also after adding the counterpart paragraph in structure/providers/chat-compat.md at review request.
• bun run test - 25938 pass / 42 skip / 5 fail. (Run on this branch before the marker-wording commit. The later commits touch one string literal and the test file only; bun test tests/providers/ollama/ollama-native.test.ts and bun run typecheck were re-run at the current head.) Those five are environment-only on macOS and reproduce on unmodified dev at 5d98281: tests/responses/responses-state.test.ts (Windows icacls spill case), tests/clients/remote-workspace-command-runner.test.ts (Linux bubblewrap), tests/providers/codebuddy-adapter.test.ts (SIGTERM timing) and tests/server/server-management-auth.test.ts (listener/credential case). Running those four files in isolation leaves only the Windows case failing, identically with and without this change.

Checklist

• Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
• Docs or release notes were updated when needed. structure/providers/chat-compat.md now records that the native transport carries the chat wire's deferred-barrier contract, as the review suggested.
• Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. No auth, credential, workflow or dependency surface is touched, and the added string is a fixed non-secret marker.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Ollama-native adapter now defers mid-batch user and developer messages, preserves tool-call and tool-result ordering, emits an unknown-status placeholder for missing results, and retains strict orphan and duplicate result validation.

Changes

Ollama native replay handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Deferred tool-batch processing src/adapters/ollama-native.ts, structure/providers/chat-compat.md	The adapter defers user and developer messages until pending tool results are emitted. Missing results produce a replayable tool placeholder with an explicit unknown-status marker. The documentation records this contract.
Replay ordering and validation coverage tests/providers/ollama/ollama-native.test.ts	Tests cover deferred messages, image preservation, parallel result ordering, missing-result placeholders, subsequent assistant turns, orphan results, and duplicate results.

리뷰 · 우선순위 76 / 80

이 PR은 #4842가 적어 둔 그 구멍을 고친다. Codex는 한 턴 안에서 PostToolUse 훅 판정이나 컨텍스트 알림 같은 developer/user 메시지를 tool call과 tool result 사이에 끼워 넣는다. 지금 dev HEAD 5d98281eea4a430b57a325e9b95ca10f044ff9a6(패키지 2.58.0)의 src/adapters/ollama-native.ts buildNativeMessages는 pending tool batch가 열려 있는 동안 새 대화 메시지를 만나면 무조건 flushPending()을 부른다. 그때 아직 result가 안 붙은 call이 있으면 missing its tool result; refusing interrupted replay로 던지고, Codex는 그 로컬 검증 실패를 502 Provider unreachable처럼 보여 준다. 더 나쁜 점은 그 순서가 스레드 히스토리에 남아서, 이후 턴도 전부 같은 검사에 걸린다는 것이다. 같은 모양을 src/adapters/openai-chat/messages.ts의 deferredBarrierMessages(대략 77–94·194행)는 이미 미뤄 두었다가 tool 뒤에 풀어 주므로, native Ollama만 막히는 비대칭이었다. 이 변경은 native 쪽에도 같은 두 가지를 요청 로컬로 넣는다. (1) batch가 열린 동안 온 user/developer는 deferred에 모아 두고 flush 직후에 내보낸다. (2) 히스토리 어디에도 result가 없는 call은 던지지 않고 [ocx] no tool result was recorded… tool 메시지로 채운다. orphan·duplicate·wrong-tool 검사와 process-global 상태는 건드리지 않는다.

베이스는 지금 dev tip과 같다(5d98281ee). 파일은 src/adapters/ollama-native.ts와 tests/providers/ollama/ollama-native.test.ts 두 개뿐이고, 추가 케이스 다섯 개가 훅 분리 경계(["user", "assistant", "tool", "system"] + 실제 result 유지), 병렬 batch에서 result 순서가 뒤섞여도 call 순서로 emit, 미기록 result의 unknown-status, orphan/duplicate 거절 유지를 직접 잠근다. PR 본문이 말한 대로 bun test tests/providers/ollama/ollama-native.test.ts 24 pass와 typecheck/privacy/structure green은 이 범위와 잘 맞는다. #4842를 Closes로 달았고, dev에 머지된 뒤 이슈는 수동으로 닫아야 한다는 안내도 정확하다. types.ts/config.ts 분할 캠페인과는 무관해서 리베이스로 무효화될 종류가 아니다.

라인 쪽을 보면 설계는 chat 어댑터와 거의 같다. flushPending이 예전처럼 “result 없으면 throw”가 아니라 “없으면 명시적 unknown tool 메시지 + continue”로 바뀌고, flush가 끝난 뒤에 releaseDeferred()가 돌아간다. pending이 열린 채 assistant가 오면 예전처럼 먼저 flush한다. 즉 mid-turn 대화만 미루고, 진짜 다음 assistant turn은 경계를 유지한다. 한 가지 작은 차이는 unknown 문자열이다. chat은 OCX call.name과 em dash(execution status unknown — do not treat…)를 쓰고, 이 PR tip은 call.wireName과 마침표 문장(execution status unknown. Do not treat…)을 쓴다. 동작은 같고 회귀 테스트도 no tool result was recorded / status unknown만 보므로 막지는 않지만, 두 어댑터 마커를 나중에 맞추면 운영 로그를 읽기 더 편하다. structure/providers/chat-compat.md는 chat wire 수리만 적혀 있고 native pairing은 아직 문서가 없다. PR이 structure:check green을 확인한 것은 맞지만, 같은 규칙을 한 줄이라도 native 쪽에 남길지는 메인테이너 선택이다.

지금 막히는 지점은 코드가 아니라 프로세스다. PR이 아직 draft이고 readiness checklist 네 칸이 전부 비어 있다. 내용상 #4842의 정답에 가깝고 테스트도 잠가 두었으니, CI가 green이고 작성자가 undraft·체크리스트를 채우면 dev에 넣는 쪽을 추천한다. 머지 직후 #4842를 닫고, leftover original은 없다(직접 contributor PR).

라인 - src/adapters/ollama-native.ts flushPending unknown 마커 - chat의 messages.ts 115행과 문구·식별자(name vs wireName, em dash vs 마침표)가 살짝 어긋난다. 동작 문제는 아니지만 두 어댑터 로그를 같은 눈으로 읽기 어렵다.
라인 - PR readiness checklist / draft - 코드는 #4842 수정안인데 draft + 체크리스트 미완이라 지금 당장 merge 버튼은 이르다.
경로/structure/providers/chat-compat.md - chat wire deferral만 문서화돼 있고 native buildNativeMessages 대칭은 비어 있다. 필수는 아니고 선택이다.
경로/tests/providers/ollama/ollama-native.test.ts - 회귀 다섯 개는 핵심을 잘 잠근다. dev에서 해당 파일만 되돌리면 세 케이스가 깨진다는 PR 본문 주장은 방향이 맞다.
경로/#4842 - Closes 링크는 맞지만 target이 dev라서 머지 후 이슈 수동 close가 필요하다(본문에도 적혀 있음).

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

• draft 해제·체크리스트 완료를 기다릴지, 아니면 CI green만 보고 바로 merge할지
• unknown-status 문자열을 chat(call.name + em dash)과 맞출지, wireName 표기를 의도적으로 남길지
• chat-compat.md(또는 native 쪽 structure 한 줄)에 deferral 대칭을 문서화할지
• 머지 직후 #4842 수동 close 타이밍(본문 안내대로)

너의 추천
작성자가 undraft하고 readiness 네 칸을 채운 뒤 CI green이면 merge해서 #4842를 닫아라. unknown 마커 문구 정렬과 structure 한 줄은 막지 말고 follow-up으로 둬도 된다. 지금은 draft라 merge 보류.

Pushed 5501c2b to answer the marker note from the review.

• flushPending now emits the chat adapter's marker text verbatim: [ocx] no tool result was recorded for "<name>"; execution status unknown — do not treat this as success, failure, or user-provided input. I kept call.wireName in place of the OCX call.name, because on this transport the assistant turn above it carries the flattened wire name, which is the same field the chat adapter prints (namespacedToolName(tc.namespace, tc.name)). The comment above the line records that reasoning, so the next reader does not have to re-litigate it.
• bun test tests/providers/ollama/ollama-native.test.ts - 24 pass / 0 fail, and the unknown-status case now asserts the shared marker sentence. bun run typecheck - clean.

On the other two judgment calls: no structure doc covers this pairing for the native transport, and I left it out to keep the diff on the fix. Say the word and I will add the counterpart line next to the chat-wire paragraph in structure/providers/chat-compat.md. And yes, #4842 gets closed manually once this is on dev.

Re-ticking the readiness checklist against this head now.

Rebased onto the current dev tip (121405b5) so the branch is no longer behind: the six commits that landed since 5d98281 touch other areas (tests/codex, ci, src/lib, Windows perf), none of them overlap this diff, and the rebase applied without conflicts.

Re-ran on the rebased head: bun test tests/providers/ollama/ - 112 pass / 0 fail, and bun run typecheck - clean. The patch content is unchanged from 590cbe5; only the base moved.

[lidge-jun]

Reviewed at 5af45b2 by source reading only — no local suite, typecheck, or build was run, per the constraints this review is operating under. I traced buildNativeMessages and the chat-wire equivalent it mirrors, and I found no correctness defect. Three things I checked specifically, because they are where this class of fix usually goes wrong.

It does not dress an unexecuted call as a success. The synthesized message records that no result was captured and that execution status is unknown, and tells the reader not to treat it as success, failure, or user input. A model receives a role: "tool" pairing message with no fabricated return value. The wording is identical to src/adapters/openai-chat/messages.ts, which is what you want here: the same repair on two wires should not describe itself two different ways. Only the interpolated identity differs (call.wireName against call.name), and both hold the same flattened tool name.

No deferred message is lost. deferred is FIFO, released by messages.push(...deferred) immediately after the batch flushes, and the post-loop if (pending) flushPending() covers a history that ends while a batch is open — which is exactly the shape that would otherwise silently drop a trailing user message. Deferred multimodal content survives: text and images[] both carry through. A developer message with images still throws rather than being quietly dropped, matching the ordinary path.

The strict guards are untouched. An orphan result, a result with no originating call, a duplicate result for the same call, and a result naming another tool all still throw. That is the right line to hold: this change is about an interrupted call whose result never existed, not about tolerating a malformed pairing.

State is request-local (pending and deferred are locals per buildNativeMessages call), so nothing leaks between requests.

On stacking: this is independent of the Responses-wire work in #4871 and should not be sequenced behind it. The two touch no common file, helper, or state object, and the registry constructs the two adapters through separate entries in src/adapters/registry.ts. Same failure shape, different wires.

One suggestion, not a blocker. The description says no structure document covers this pairing for the native transport. structure/manifest.json does map src/adapters/ to several documents, and structure/providers/chat-compat.md already specifies the equivalent deferred-barrier and dangling-call contract for the chat wire. Since the native transport now matches that contract deliberately, a sentence there saying so would keep the two from drifting apart later. bun run structure:check is green either way, so this is a readability call rather than a gate.

The two earlier review threads are both resolved and CodeRabbit has no actionable finding, so from my side the remaining question is only the structure note above.

[briascoi]

Thanks for the source-reading pass. I took the structure note, so nothing from that review is left open.

• Added the counterpart paragraph in structure/providers/chat-compat.md, right after the chat-wire contract: it names buildNativeMessages, the deferral and the shared [ocx] no tool result was recorded for "<name>" marker, and records why the interleaved shape is ordinary Codex history rather than a malformed one. The last sentence states that the strict pair checks still throw on both wires, so the doc cannot be read as a relaxation.
• Re-ran the gates on the resulting head: bun run structure:check passed, bun run privacy:scan passed, bun test tests/providers/ollama/ 112 pass / 0 fail, bun run typecheck clean.
• Agreed on stacking: this does not touch anything fix(xai): seed Responses tool-result adjacency for interrupted Codex threads #4871 works on, so it should not wait behind it.
• The branch is also rebased onto the current dev tip (a1fe84b3), since dev had moved seven commits. The only change against the head you read is the doc paragraph; src/adapters/ollama-native.ts and the test file are byte-identical to 5af45b2.

New head is 9ecf74b8, and the readiness checklist is re-ticked against it. The issue close stays manual after this lands on dev, as noted in the description.
