Summary

Cursor grok-4.6 (protobuf adapter) still interrupts more often than xai/grok-4.6 after the incomplete-tool remint (#4875). Live Codex Desktop thread 01a0aeaf showed why:

  • Grok writes a real sentence, then pastes the replayed [Tool Result] envelope (Read / Glob / Write / Shell). The prefix sniffer only watches the first ~40 bytes, so the echo reaches Codex, is stored as assistant text, and the next turn replays it.
  • After remint, a second Responses chain can keep the stale conversation id, so two Cursor conversations ping-pong on one Codex thread.
  • Write was not in the unavailable neighboring-agent list, so Grok kept probing it.

This branch stacks on #4875. It strips whole-line echo envelopes from assistant root replay, remints after mid-stream echo (current send is not retried), prefers the thread remint override over a stale stored id, and names Write as unavailable.

Already-poisoned Cursor threads still need a new task. This stops the snowball on the next clean thread.

…idge-jun#4874)

Cursor fail-closes a truncated client-tool stream but kept the same
conversation id, so the next turn resumed a session left waiting for
mcpResult. Remint after the streamed error, persist the thread
override, and synthesize a missing tool_result on native Composer
replay. Isolated helper turns stay fail-closed.
Grok-4.6 via Cursor often writes a real sentence and then pastes the replayed [Tool Result] envelope. The prefix sniffer never sees it, Codex stores it as assistant text, and the next turn replays the block. Strip those whole-line envelopes from root replay, remint the conversation after a mid-stream echo, prefer the thread remint override over a stale stored id so Responses chains stop ping-ponging, and name Write as an unavailable neighboring-agent tool.

Live Codex Desktop evidence: thread 01a0aeaf still echoed Write after HTTP 200.

이 PR은 Cursor protobuf 쪽 cursor/grok-4.6가 도구 결과를 문장 뒤에 그대로 베껴 써서, 다음 턴이 계속 망가지는 문제를 막으려는 수정이다. 지금 dev(HEAD cdd564b97, 패키지 2.58.0)에는 이미 #4815로 텍스트 채널의 TOOL_CALL 글자 표식을 가두는 작업이 들어가 있고, midstream [Tool Result] 관찰기는 src/adapters/cursor.ts에서 아직 진단만 합니다. 이 브랜치는 그 관찰기 결과를 다음 턴 conversation remint로 올리고, 이미 Codex에 저장된 assistant 글에서 한 줄짜리 [Tool Result] / [Tool Error] / [tool_result] 봉투를 잘라서 Cursor root replay에 다시 넣지 않게 합니다. 관련 이슈는 #4874이고, 본문도 말한 대로 incomplete-tool remint(#4875) 위에 쌓인 스택입니다.

왜 중요한지 짧게 말하면, prefix sniffer는 턴 앞쪽 약 40바이트만 봅니다. grok-4.6는 먼저 정상 문장을 쓰고 그다음에 [Tool Result] 봉투를 붙여 버리기 때문에, 그 글이 Codex assistant 텍스트로 저장되고 다음 턴 히스토리로 다시 재생됩니다. 그러면 모델이 또 같은 봉투를 베끼는 눈덩이가 됩니다. 이미 독이 든 Cursor 스레드는 새 태스크가 필요하고, 이 PR은 다음 깨끗한 스레드에서 눈덩이를 끊는 쪽입니다. Write를 이웃 에이전트 도구 목록에 넣어 프로브를 줄이는 것도 같은 실측(Desktop thread)에서 나온 보완입니다.

src/adapters/cursor/envelope-echo.tsstripAssistantEchoedToolEnvelope는 줄 전체가 마커일 때만 앞에서 끊습니다. 문장 안에 [Tool Result]라는 말만 나온 경우는 그대로 둡니다. protobuf-request.tsassistantRootText가 이 함수를 타고, blob 테스트는 assistant에 붙은 Write 출력이 root에서 빠지고 실제 toolResult 봉투의 [Tool Result]는 남는 것을 잠급니다. request-builder.tsresolveCursorConversationId는 thread remint override가 오래된 _cursorConversationId보다 앞서가게 바꿔, 같은 Codex 스레드의 두 번째 Responses 체인이 독이 든 id를 붙잡고 핑퐁하지 않게 합니다. tool-guidance.tsNEIGHBOR_AGENT_TOOL_NAMESWrite를 넣은 것도 guidance/note 테스트로 맞춰 두었습니다.

다만 이 PR은 draft이고 readiness 체크리스트가 비어 있습니다. 더 중요한 스택 문제: #4875 tip은 7ad77cffd 다음에 bound incomplete-tool conversation remints(e98aaa9c8)까지 올라가 있는데, #4900 커밋 목록에는 incomplete-tool 쪽 첫 커밋(7ad77cffd)과 envelope-echo 커밋(5702c8e4f)만 있습니다. 즉 지금 tip은 #4875의 bound remint 후속 커밋이 빠진 옛 tip 위에 쌓인 상태입니다. incomplete-tool remint·missing tool_result placeholder·구조 문서 문단은 #4875와 겹치는 내용이 이 PR에 다시 들어와 있으니, 랜딩 순서를 정리하지 않으면 중복·리베이스 충돌·한도(bound) 누락이 납니다. midstream remint는 이미 Codex에 흘러간 echo를 이번 전송에서 지우지 못하고, strip은 다음 Cursor root replay만 고칩니다. 그 한계는 본문이 정직하게 적었고, 설계상 맞는 타협입니다.

라인 단위로 보면 아래가 메인입니다.

라인 (cursor.ts remint 블록) - sawIncompleteToolCall || sawMidstreamEnvelopeEcho면 이번 전송은 재시도하지 않고 remint만 합니다. midstream echo로 이미 Codex에 들어간 글은 그대로 남습니다.
라인 (envelope-echo.ts stripAssistantEchoedToolEnvelope) - 첫 번째 줄-전체 마커에서 뒤를 전부 자릅니다. 마커 뒤에 정상 문장이 더 있으면 같이 사라집니다(의도된 보수적 절단).
경로 request-builder.ts resolveCursorConversationId - remint override가 stored id보다 앞서는 우선순위 변경은 #4875와 같은 축입니다. #4875의 bound 커밋이 이 tip에 없으면 remint 한도 정책이 tip과 어긋날 수 있습니다.
경로 커밋 그래프 - #4900 ⊂ 옛 #4875 + echo sanitize. #4875 tip의 e98aaa9c8(bound remints)이 빠졌습니다.
경로 PR 상태 - draft + checklist 미체크. CI는 hygiene/label 쪽은 통과했고 CodeRabbit은 진행 중이었습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

너의 추천
draft 유지. #4875 tip(e98aaa9c8 bound remints)을 이 브랜치에 편입하거나, #4875를 먼저 dev에 올린 뒤 이 PR을 리베이스하세요. 그다음 envelope strip + midstream remint + Write neighbor 가드 + 테스트(본문 334 pass 주장)가 dev HEAD(cdd564b97, #4815/#4889 tip) 위에서 다시 그린인지 확인한 뒤에만 ready로 올리세요. types/config 분할로 무효화되는 PR은 아닙니다. 중복 클로즈 대상도 아니고, #4875와는 스택/슈퍼시드 관계로 정리하면 됩니다.

Do not remint compaction turns.

Compaction requests set request.contextUsageStoreCheckpoints to false, but this branch checks only _cursorIsolateConversation. Therefore, a compaction stream with an incomplete-tool error can invalidate inheritedCheckpointRef and call remintConversationId. When the request has a stable thread owner, that helper stores the replacement conversation for the parent thread.

Exclude requests with contextUsageStoreCheckpoints === false here. Add regression coverage for the thread override and inherited checkpoint.

Normalize trailing whitespace before matching envelope markers.

CursorMidstreamEchoObserver.checkLine matches a mid-stream line with startsWith(marker), so [Tool Result] records a finding and causes src/adapters/cursor.ts to remint the conversation. stripAssistantEchoedToolEnvelope compares only after removing leading whitespace, so it does not strip that line. assistantRootText then replays the marker in the new root prompt, which can prime the next turn again.

Normalize both ends of the line while retaining exact equality. Add a focused regression test with trailing spaces.

* fix(cursor): stop grok-4.6 tool-result echo from poisoning later turns

Grok-4.6 through Cursor often writes a real sentence and then pastes the replayed
[Tool Result] envelope. The prefix sniffer only watches the opening bytes of a turn, so the
echo reaches Codex, is stored as assistant text, and the next turn replays it — which primes
the model to echo again.

Strip whole-line echo envelopes from assistant root replay, remint the conversation for the
next turn after a mid-stream echo on its own bounded allowance, prefer the retained thread
remint override over a stale stored conversation id, and name Write as an unavailable
neighboring-agent tool.

The current send is never retried: the echo has already reached the client, and resending
would be an uncertain replay. Conversations already poisoned still need a new task.

Carries the work in #4900 onto current dev. That branch holds a pre-squash copy of #4875,
which landed as ee28833 with review hardening the copy
predates, so dev's version is authoritative for every shared file and only the increment is
reapplied here.

Co-authored-by: MerryEcho <xx59623633@163.com>

* test(cursor): prove the echo strip is reached from root replay

The unit test covers the filter; this covers the wiring. It also pins the bounded-strip behaviour end to end: the prose before AND after the echoed envelope survives into rootPromptMessagesJson while the envelope body does not.

Placed in cursor-tool-continuation.test.ts because cursor-blob.test.ts sits exactly at its file-size-ratchet cap of 3657 lines and cannot take another line.

* test(cursor): include Write in the neighboring-agent guidance assertions

Adding Write to NEIGHBOR_AGENT_TOOL_NAMES changes the generated guidance note, and these three assertions pin that note verbatim. Line-neutral replacements; no assertion is weakened and the negative cases still hold.

* fix(cursor): keep a compaction turn off the parent thread override

Preferring the retained thread override over a stored _cursorConversationId is right for a stale
id from a second Responses chain, but a compaction turn also carries a thread owner and its own
conversation id while never setting the isolate flag. Unconditionally preferring the override
pulled compaction onto the parent conversation, which
"compaction storage isolation preserves the stable thread override without relying on the isolate
flag" in cursor-adapter.test.ts exists to prevent.

Exclude compaction from the override lookup and pin the interaction with its own case.

* test(cursor): exercise the echo strip through a real tool continuation

Root replay only carries history on a tool-continuation turn, so the previous shape sent a plain
user message and produced a system-only root prompt: the assertions could never have seen the
assistant text they were checking. Give the turn a tool result so the assistant message is
actually replayed.

It also now asserts the GENUINE replayed envelope survives. The strip must remove the copy the
model pasted into its own text without touching the tool-result envelope the adapter builds.
