Summary

Zero can now read the sessions other coding agents leave on the local disk — Claude Code, Codex, Factory Droid and Pi — list them, and continue that work in Zero.

zero sessions discover              # sessions from other agents, this workspace
zero sessions import <agent>:<id>   # copy one into Zero
zero exec --resume <zero-id> "…"    # continue it

In the TUI, /resume gains a tab strip (All · zero · claude-code · codex · factory · pi) and lists un-imported sessions directly — choosing one imports and resumes in a single step.

Draft, and deliberately so. There is no parent issue yet. Opening this to make the design concrete before asking for one, because the neighbourhood is sensitive — see Scope below.

Scope: how this differs from #399

#399 (internal/agentcli) was closed on a deliberate design line: Zero talks to model APIs directly, does not wrap other vendors' CLIs, and does not reuse another product's subscription login. That closure invited "a narrow, self-contained slice… with no subprocess harness and no borrowed-identity tokens".

This is that slice:

Rejected in #399 Here
Reads other agents' auth tokens Reads only transcripts. Never opens an auth file.
Shells out to claude / codex binaries No subprocess. Parses files at rest.
Runs turns on a borrowed subscription Runs on Zero's own provider, the user's own key.

Import is strictly one-way: nothing is written to, moved in, or locked in another agent's store.

Why it is small

sessions.FormatExecPrompt — behind both zero exec --resume and the TUI's /resume — renders the event log to a text digest rather than rehydrating a provider-native conversation. So an importer never has to reconstruct tool_use/tool_result pairs into Anthropic- or OpenAI-shaped messages. It only has to emit Zero Event records, after which resume, fork, rewind, compaction, lineage and the picker all work unchanged.

Four agents cost two parsers: Claude Code, Factory Droid and Pi independently converged on the same layout, so one family-1 parser serves all three. Codex needs its own (date-partitioned, payload-wrapped).

Credential safety

Every one of the surveyed agents keeps live credentials in the same tree as its transcripts — ~/.codex/auth.json (OPENAI_API_KEY + OAuth), ~/.gemini/oauth_creds.json, ~/.claude/.credentials.json, ~/.grok/auth.json, ~/.factory/auth.v2.key, and ~/.pi/agent/auth.json, which is the direct sibling of ~/.pi/agent/sessions/.

So discovery is fixed-depth globs pinned to one extension, never filepath.WalkDir; symlinks are rejected by Lstat (a link named x.jsonl pointing at auth.json otherwise passes the extension check); and a session id is resolved by comparing glob results, never by joining the id onto a root, so ../../auth matches nothing.

Imported text is untrusted input and passes through internal/redaction at a single chokepoint.

Both properties are mutation-tested: swapping the glob for a walk, or gutting the redaction call, each fail a test.

Tool work reaching the model

sessions.promptContextEvents passes messages but not EventToolCall/EventToolResult. Without help, a 22-event import gave the continuing model 2 messages and ~1,155 characters — no knowledge that any file had been touched.

Zero's own compaction cannot substitute: toolPayloadPreview allow-lists id/name/toolName/status and drops arguments and output, so a summariser learns that a Read failed but never which file or why. Those values are still in hand at translation time.

So the translator emits an activity summary as EventMessage so RehydrateEvents does not treat it as a conversation compaction — one event per category, each under the digest's 500-character per-event budget. promptContextEvents is untouched; native resumes are unaffected.

A call whose result failed withdraws its claim, so a Read of a path that does not exist is never reported as a file that was read.

Behaviour changes to existing code

  • internal/tui/model_test.go: the session-picker assertion moves from Meta == "" to "Meta must not contain the session id, and must name the source agent". That check has always been about keeping the raw id out of the row; empty-string was a proxy for it.
  • applyQuery gains a tab filter that is a no-op for every picker without a tab strip (covered by a test).

Verification

  • make fmt-check, go vet ./..., go build ./..., git diff HEAD --check — clean
  • go test ./... — all packages pass except two pre-existing failures on main: TestRunDoctorFormatsRedactedProviderDiagnostics and TestRunDoctorConnectivityProbesProvider. Both reproduce on a pristine origin/main worktree with no changes from this branch.
  • go test -race ./internal/agentsessions/ — clean
  • Advisory golangci-lint (unused,ineffassign,staticcheck) — no findings in the new code
  • Exercised against a real local corpus: 302 sessions across four agents; 260/269 Claude Code transcripts indexed (the 9 excluded are single-record bridge-session stubs), 14/14 Codex rollouts. Import → --resume verified end to end.
  • Mutation-checked: glob→walk, dropped symlink guard, gutted redaction, Codex union-type regression, tab filter in the wrong branch of applyQuery, removed failed-call withdrawal, oversized summary events, summaries emitted before the conversation — each fails its test.

Not included

Cursor, Cline, Roo, Windsurf, Continue, Aider, Grok, opencode and Gemini. Cursor and the VS Code family store chats in undocumented state.vscdb blobs with no stability guarantee, and none were installed on the machine this was built against — there is no fixture to test them against, so shipping them would be guesswork.

Known limits

Resume continues the work, not the process: the conversation, tool activity, cwd, branch and last state in flight are recoverable; the other agent's in-memory context, prompt cache and half-executed tool call are not. The activity summary is an activity log, not comprehension — it says what was done, never why.

Every one of these formats is a private, undocumented implementation detail of another product and will drift. That recurring maintenance, not the initial build, is the real cost — hence one small adapter per agent, each independently skippable, each pinned to checked-in fixtures so a format change fails a test rather than a user's import.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Discover and import sessions from Claude Code, Codex, Factory Droid, and Pi.

141-152: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Import indexes the whole foreign store twice for one session.

describe calls adapter.Discover(""), which head-reads every transcript in the store. The file comments report 1,266 files and 439 MB on one real machine. adapter.Read then globs the same store again to resolve the id. A single import therefore pays a full index plus a second directory scan, only to obtain the title, cwd, and model.

This is acceptable for a one-shot CLI import. It is worth reconsidering if the TUI picker imports on selection. Consider adding a Describe(id string) (ForeignSession, bool) method to Adapter so both the lookup and the read resolve the path once.

Key the memo by the normalized workspace path.

The map key is the raw cwd string. paths.go defines normalizeDir for exactly this problem: /tmp/proj, /tmp/proj/, and /private/tmp/proj are the same workspace, and sameDir treats them as equal.

Wire Shift+Tab to cycleTab(-1), or drop the backward path.

cycleTab accepts a negative delta, and TestCyclingBackwardsWraps exercises it, but no key binding reaches it. The Shift+Tab branch at line 1659 has no tabbed-picker case, so it falls to m.noBlockingModal(), which an open picker makes false. Shift+Tab therefore does nothing while the /resume strip is up.

Forward-only cycling works with three tabs. It stops being reasonable if a user has sessions from all four supported agents plus Zero, where reaching the previous tab costs four presses.

69-76: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add coverage for the imported-session dedup rule; this test cannot fail.

Two points.

TestAnAgentWithNoSessionsGetsNoTab builds a picker from zero and codex rows, then asserts that no tab is named factory or pi. sessionPickerTabs derives every tab from the items it receives, so the assertion holds by construction. The test documents intent but detects no regression.

More important is what is missing. foreignSessionItems skips any discovered session whose <agent>:<id> already appears as an import tag on a local session. That rule is what stops /resume from listing the same conversation twice — once as itself and once as its copy. No test in this file covers it, because every test here constructs pickerItem values directly and never exercises foreignSessionItems.

A table test over ParseImportTag inputs plus a fake discovery result would cover it. That needs the injectable agentsessions.Env discussed on internal/tui/model_test.go, so the two are worth doing together.

rest with a brief reason, keep changes minimal, and validate.

Inline comments:
In `@internal/agentsessions/activity.go`:
- Around line 258-312: Update activityLog.summaryEvents to apply
maxSummaryEventChars to the fully assembled headline after adding the
toolBreakdown text, rather than relying on toolBreakdown’s independent
truncation. Preserve the existing count and breakdown content while ensuring the
emitted headline stays within the event budget, and extend the relevant summary
test with many unrecognised tool names to cover this case.
- Around line 89-118: Change activityLog deduplication to track claim counts
rather than booleans: update newActivityLog to initialize seen as
map[string]int, increment the bucket/value key in add, and decrement it in
withdraw. Remove the list entry and delete the key only when its count reaches
zero, preserving entries still referenced by other calls.

In `@internal/agentsessions/cache.go`:
- Around line 38-51: Update DiscoverAllCached so the discoveryMu lock is held
only while checking the cache and storing results, not while calling the slow
DiscoverAll operation. Unlock before discovery, allow concurrent misses
(including different workspaces) to proceed independently, then re-acquire the
lock to write the discovered entry and return the copied sessions and problems.

In `@internal/agentsessions/codex_test.go`:
- Around line 150-189: Gate TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses behind an explicit
opt-in environment variable, returning via t.Skip before accessing codexRoot,
OSEnv, or the developer’s transcripts when the variable is unset. Preserve the
existing live-corpus assertions for opted-in runs, and keep path-sensitive
behavior covered through a hermetic or non-Linux test rather than relying on
this live test.

In `@internal/agentsessions/paths.go`:
- Around line 97-117: Update globTranscripts in internal/agentsessions/paths.go
(lines 97-117) to reject matches with symlinked parent components and enforce
containment at open time using a rooted or handle-relative no-follow API,
including platform reparse-point protections; final-component Lstat alone is
insufficient. In internal/agentsessions/paths_test.go (lines 78-147), add
coverage where sessions/<slug> symlinks to a directory outside the store and
assert no transcript beneath it is returned.
- Around line 48-60: Update claudeCodeRoot and codexRoot so configured
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR or CODEX_HOME values are used only when absolute; treat
relative values like unset configuration and fall back to env.underHome with the
existing default subpaths.
- Around line 195-203: Update sameDir to compare normalized paths
case-insensitively when runtime.GOOS is Windows, while preserving the existing
case-sensitive comparison on other platforms. Add the runtime dependency to the
import block and keep the current empty-path rejection unchanged.

In `@internal/agentsessions/registry.go`:
- Around line 154-167: Update the import flow around store.Create and
store.AppendEvents to delete the newly created session via the sessions store’s
existing delete/remove operation when AppendEvents fails. Preserve the original
append error, but return a combined error if cleanup also fails; never delete
pre-existing sessions or report success after unsuccessful cleanup.

In `@internal/agentsessions/translate.go`:
- Around line 91-97: Full-read translators silently discard records truncated by
the 64 KiB stream limit; make truncation observable and emit a noteEvent for
each skipped truncated record. In internal/agentsessions/translate.go lines
91-97, update streamLines/readBoundedLine signaling and translateFamily1 to
distinguish truncation from ordinary unmarshal failures. Apply the same handling
in internal/agentsessions/codex.go lines 195-199 within translateCodex, while
preserving silent skipping for unrecognised or non-response records.
- Around line 189-201: Update capEvents so the omitted-event count includes
kept[0], using len(events)-(max-1) or the equivalent count, and pass that
corrected value to plural. Adjust the note text to use singular/plural verb
agreement, producing “was not imported” for one omitted event and “were not
imported” otherwise.

In `@internal/cli/sessions_import.go`:
- Around line 230-236: Replace the lexical filepath.Clean comparison in the
sessions import workspace check with the shared sessionMatchesWorkspace
predicate. Promote sessionMatchesWorkspace from internal/tui/session.go to an
appropriate shared package, update both callers to use it, and preserve the
existing empty-string behavior when the workspaces match or the current
directory cannot be determined.
- Around line 1-14: Add regression tests for the sessions discover and import
command flows, covering agent filtering, JSON output, failure exit codes, and
importWorkspaceWarning behavior. Include a non-Linux case that verifies
workspace path normalization, and use the command handlers and existing
session-test helpers to assert results and errors without changing production
behavior.

In `@internal/tui/model_test.go`:
- Around line 908-917: Thread an agentsessions.Env through the model and
session-picker construction so newSessionPicker and foreignSessionItems use the
injected environment instead of agentsessions.OSEnv(). In
internal/tui/model_test.go lines 908-917, build the model with a t.TempDir()
home to isolate discovery. In internal/tui/session_picker_tabs_test.go lines
69-76, use the same injected Env, add coverage for imported-session
deduplication in foreignSessionItems, and strengthen
TestAnAgentWithNoSessionsGetsNoTab so it genuinely verifies the no-tab behavior.

In `@internal/tui/session.go`:
- Around line 434-444: Update newSessionPicker to retain each session’s raw
update time on pickerItem, including items from both local assembly and
foreignSessionItems, then sort the merged items by recency before building the
picker. Add or reuse sortPickerItemsByRecency so sorting uses time.Time rather
than the formatted Label, while preserving per-agent item behavior.
- Around line 515-518: Guard session.UpdatedAt.IsZero() before formatting it, so
zero timestamps do not reach sessionWhen or sessionPickerLabel and produce a
year-1 date. Update the surrounding label logic in the session row path,
preferably by reusing or adding a typed time.Time variant of sessionWhen to
avoid converting the timestamp through RFC3339 text while preserving existing
behavior for populated timestamps.
- Around line 473-479: Move the synchronous agentsessions.Import call out of the
Bubble Tea Update path into a tea.Cmd that performs the import asynchronously
and returns a result message containing the session or error, then handle that
message in the Update flow while preserving agentsessions.InvalidateDiscovery
before rebuilding the picker. Review whether the import should set an explicit
MaxEvents limit instead of using uncapped ReadOptions{}.

Nitpick comments:
In `@internal/agentsessions/cache_test.go`:
- Around line 81-107: Extend TestCallersCannotReorderEachOthersResults to mutate
the returned problems slice and verify a subsequent DiscoverAllCached call is
unaffected; also update the cache implementation to return a copied problems
slice alongside the existing sessions copy, using the relevant entry.problems
handling in DiscoverAllCached.

In `@internal/agentsessions/cache.go`:
- Around line 42-49: Normalize cwd once at the entry point using normalizeDir,
then use that normalized workspace path consistently as the discoveryCache key
for lookup and storage in the surrounding discovery function. Preserve the
existing cache-copy, discovery, and problem-handling behavior, and ensure
InvalidateDiscovery receives or matches the same normalized key.
- Around line 27-33: Protect discoveryNow consistently with discoveryMu: update
withFakeClock’s test assignment and restoration to hold the mutex, and ensure
DiscoverAllCached reads the clock while holding the same lock. Prefer moving the
clock into the mutex-guarded discovery state if that fits the existing design,
while preserving test-controlled TTL behavior.

In `@internal/agentsessions/family1_test.go`:
- Around line 248-257: The ratio assertion in TestTheRealCorpusStillParses is
tied to a private corpus and should not require 85% coverage. Replace the 0.85
failure threshold with only a clearly broken zero-result check, while retaining
the existing ratio reporting via t.Logf and diagnostic context.

In `@internal/agentsessions/jsonl_test.go`:
- Around line 142-173: Add a focused test for streamLines where one record
exceeds the configured size limit, asserting streamLines returns no error and
still invokes the callback for subsequent records. Reuse the existing
temporary-file and callback-counting patterns from
TestStreamLinesReadsEverything and
TestStreamLinesToleratesAMissingTrailingNewline.
- Around line 16-46: Reduce the fixture size in
TestScanHeadReadsFarLessThanTheWholeFile by deriving the bulk content or number
of lines from defaultHeadLimit.MaxBytes rather than writing 200 fixed 200 KiB
lines. Keep the file several times larger than the head budget so the existing
read-limit and file-size ratio assertions still verify the intended behavior
without creating a roughly 40 MB fixture.

In `@internal/agentsessions/paths_test.go`:
- Around line 78-147: The test TestDiscoveryGlobsNeverMatchACredentialFile must
cover symlink traversal through the project-directory component. Create an
external directory containing a transcript, add a sessions/<slug> symlink
pointing to it, invoke globTranscripts, and assert the external transcript is
not returned while preserving the existing valid-transcript assertion.

In `@internal/agentsessions/registry.go`:
- Around line 134-140: Update the provenance comment near ImportTag to describe
the shipped tag format, including the foreign session ID suffix (for example,
“imported:claude-code:<foreign session id>”), without changing the import
behavior.
- Around line 141-152: The Import flow currently scans the foreign store twice
by calling describe and then adapter.Read. Add an Adapter-level Describe(id
string) (ForeignSession, bool) lookup that resolves the session path once,
update Import to use it for metadata and pass the resolved path or session to
the read operation, and preserve the existing missing-session and read-error
behavior.

In `@internal/agentsessions/translate_test.go`:
- Around line 51-59: Move the TUI payload-key tripwire documentation so it
directly precedes TestPayloadKeysMatchWhatTheTUIReads, and leave the
conversationEvents-specific explanation immediately above conversationEvents.
Ensure each comment block documents only its corresponding symbol.
- Around line 259-266: The trim-note test around the existing event-type and
summary assertions only checks wording; assert both reported event counts and
correct the expected count. Add a separate case covering MaxEvents: 1, verifying
it emits the trim note followed by zero conversation events, so the boundary
behavior is regression-tested.

In `@internal/cli/sessions_import.go`:
- Around line 138-142: Update formatDiscoveredSessions to accept a now time
parameter and pass that value to describeAge for every session, removing the
per-session time.Now() call and redundant UpdatedAt.IsZero() check. Update its
caller to provide time.Now().
- Around line 33-34: Validate options.agent against the known adapter names
before calling filterDiscoveredByAgent in the discover flow, using
case-insensitive matching consistent with agentsessions.ParseRef and the
existing readable-agent list. Reject unknown non-empty agent names up front
instead of allowing them to produce an empty result, while preserving discovery
for valid names and omitted filters.

In `@internal/tui/model.go`:
- Around line 1806-1812: Update the Shift+Tab handling branch in the model’s
key-processing logic to detect an open tabbed picker, call
m.picker.cycleTab(-1), and return before the noBlockingModal fallback.
Alternatively, remove or narrow TestCyclingBackwardsWraps so it only verifies
the cycleTab method rather than user-reachable behavior; preserve the existing
forward Tab handling.

In `@internal/tui/session_picker_tabs_test.go`:
- Around line 69-76: Replace the construction-only assertions in
TestAnAgentWithNoSessionsGetsNoTab with regression coverage for
foreignSessionItems: use an injectable agentsessions.Env and fake discovery
results to verify sessions whose <agent>:<id> matches a local session’s
ParseImportTag are excluded, while non-matching imported sessions remain. Add
table cases covering matching, non-matching, and malformed import tags, reusing
the test injection pattern from model_test.go.

Reviewed as a draft, so this is findings rather than a verdict. The design question you actually asked about is above my pay grade and needs @kevincodex1; what follows is whether the code does what it says.

The credential-safety work is the strongest part and it mostly holds. I checked the claims rather than taking them: the extension pin is case-insensitive, globTranscripts rejects symlinks because IsRegular() is false for them, and I confirmed by probe that a junction is rejected too. Two adversarial passes tried to turn the reparse-point gap into an escape and could not: creating a link under ~/.codex/sessions already requires write access to ~/.codex/sessions, and writing a transcript there directly reaches the same outcome with no link at all. The .jsonl pin plus the rollout-* pin plus Discover gating Import close the residual.

Two blocking, though.

The activity summary is emitted as EventCompaction, whose payload contract it does not satisfy. RehydrateEvents (replay.go:240) scans backwards for the last EventCompaction and restructures the transcript around it. A real CompactionPayload carries PreserveLast, CompactableEvents, PreservedEvents and CompactedThroughSequence — the bookkeeping saying which events the summary replaces. noteEvent writes {"summary": ...} and nothing else, so every one of those is zero, and rehydration reorders the imported transcript around a boundary that describes nothing. It decodes cleanly because the only validated field is Summary. Verified end to end through ImportReadRehydratedEventsPrepareExec. You picked the type because promptContextEvents already passes it; the same type has a second contract on the replay side.

Imported text carries control bytes into the terminal. The redaction chokepoint scrubs secrets, not control characters. Probed directly: "innocent title\x1b[2J\x1b[1;1H FORGED ROW \x00 tail" comes back byte-identical, ESC and NUL intact, and that string becomes a picker row and a transcript line. We have shipped this exact class twice in a fortnight: #835, where an MCP failure reason forged a row, and #876, where a copied NUL panicked the whole TUI. An imported title is strictly more attacker-influenced than either. sanitizeCardText already exists.

Two worth fixing before it leaves draft.

TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses and TestTheRealCorpusStillParses discover against the real ~/.codex and ~/.claude of whoever runs go test, and assert on what they find. The first fails at your head on this machine (indexed 2 of 2 rollouts; 2 titled, 0 with a model) because these rollouts carry turn_context past the 64-line head budget, which no change to the adapter can fix. CI passes only because the runner has no store to find. That inverts the usual bargain: green on CI, red for contributors. Worth a fixture.

The activity summary collapses successful and failed calls into one bucket per path. A successful Write /p/config.yaml followed by a failed Edit of the same path withdraws the claim entirely, so the summary reports no files changed although the file was rewritten. The withdraw logic is right in principle; it is keyed too coarsely.

Smaller: the family-1 slug fast path skips globSessionDirs, so the picker can list a session Import then refuses; name, toolCallId and role skip redact() while content and arguments get it, so the chokepoint comment is not literally true; capEvents understates the drop by one, and the note is the only thing telling the reader the import is partial; a tool call with no matching result keeps its claim, so an interrupted write reports as a file changed.

Two things I checked and am NOT raising, so you do not chase them. The Title field skipping redaction is real but pre-existing: createSessionTitle on main writes a raw prompt into metadata.json for native sessions too, and zero sessions list redacts at display. Your translate.go redaction is above baseline, not below it. And the reparse-point discovery gap is a documentation inaccuracy rather than a boundary crossing, for the reason above.

The engineering standard here is high: mutation-testing the glob and the redaction, exercising against 302 real sessions, and documenting the two pre-existing main failures instead of claiming a clean run. The two blocking items are both "this type/string has a second contract elsewhere", which is the hardest class to see from inside the change.

One correction to the blocking item above, since the sentence ran together: a real CompactionPayload carries PreserveLast, CompactableEvents, PreservedEvents and CompactedThroughSequence, which together record which events the summary stands in for. noteEvent sets only Summary, so all of them are zero, and rehydrateEventsWithCompaction restructures the imported transcript around a boundary that describes nothing.

The cheapest fix is probably a distinct event type rather than filling in the payload, since the import is not a compaction and pretending otherwise will keep colliding with replay, rewind and lineage. If promptContextEvents needs to pass it, adding the new type to that filter is a one-line change at exec_session.go:197.

Tested the latest head with real local session data. Discovery, CLI import, source tabs, and importing/resuming a selected session all work on the normal path.

I found three blockers:

  1. On a fresh Zero install with no local Zero sessions, /resume shows none even when foreign sessions are available. loadResumeSessions returns early when ListResumable() is empty, before adding foreign sessions. After creating one local session, those same foreign sessions appear.
  2. Imported activity summaries are emitted as compaction events without full compaction metadata. Rehydration treats them as structural compactions and can reorder the transcript; in my import, the final raw event was moved to the beginning after rehydration.
  3. Imported titles/content are not sanitized for terminal control bytes before picker rendering. A synthetic session title containing ESC and NUL bytes reached the /resume UI and was terminal-interpreted.

There is also a smaller UX concern: importing a 2,692-event session synchronously blocked the UI for about 0.86s on this machine.

Please fix at least the first three before merge.

Addressed the two blocking findings and re-requesting review. 5dcb824f, rebased onto current main (was 18 behind, no conflicts), CI green across all three OS smoke legs plus Security & code health.

Both blockers fixed

Imported text no longer carries control bytes into the terminal. redact() scrubbed secrets but not control characters, and the title, tool name, and ids skipped it entirely — so an imported title or message with ESC/NUL forged a picker row or corrupted a transcript line, the #835/#876 class on more attacker-influenced input. redact() now composes a stripControl pass (C0 except tab/newline, DEL, C1), and every rendered string — the title included, at the import chokepoint in registry.go — routes through control-stripping.

The activity summary is no longer an EventCompaction. You were right that the type carries a second contract on the replay side: I traced rehydrateEventsWithCompaction and a summary with no CompactableEvents/CompactedThroughSequence is hoisted to the front of the transcript on resume. It's now an assistant EventMessage, which still passes promptContextEvents (the resume digest) with none of that restructuring. A payload marker (NoteEventIsSummary) keeps it distinguishable from a translated turn, so the digest and any filter can tell a Zero-generated summary from the foreign transcript.

Also fixed the import-tag comment to match ImportTag's actual output.

Tests: regression coverage for both, mutation-checked — removing the control strip surfaces the surviving byte (I caught and fixed a first vacuous version where json.Marshal was escaping the bytes and hiding them), and the summary type is asserted not to be EventCompaction. Existing tests moved off the old EventCompaction type check to the shared NoteEventIsSummary marker.

Not in this pass — follow-ups I'd like your read on

Deliberately scoped this to the two blockers. Still open from your review, and I'll take them next: the activity summary's success/failure keying being too coarse (a failed edit withdrawing a successful write of the same path), the tool-call-without-a-result still claiming its file, the capEvents off-by-one, the family-1 slug fast path that lists a session then refuses to import it, and the real-corpus tests discovering against a contributor's actual ~/.claude/~/.codex — the fixture you suggested. Happy to fold those into this PR or stack them; your call given it's still a draft-sized change.

@Vasanthdev2004 re-review when you have a moment — thanks for the two-contract catches, those were the hard ones to see from inside the change.

Pushed a follow-up addressing all outstanding review points. Rebased onto latest main (clean, no conflicts); the branch is now at 8689da21. Each fix ships a mutation-verified regression test (revert the production line → the test fails).

@coderabbitai — redact terminal-visible structural fields
role, name, and toolCallId came from the foreign transcript but used only stripControl. They now route through redact() (secret-redaction and control-stripping), applied identically to both tool-call-id sites so call↔result pairing survives — redact is deterministic. Regression: TestStructuralFieldsAreRedacted (a credential hidden in role/name/toolCallId must not survive; the redacted ids must still match).

@Vasanthdev2004 — activity summary, coarse success/failure keying
The log withdrew a failed call's claim by value, so a successful Write /p/config.yaml followed by a failed Edit of the same path erased the change. Reworked to commit-on-success: a path is recorded only when its call's result confirms success, so a failed call simply never commits and cannot erase a different call's success. Regression: TestASuccessfulWriteSurvivesALaterFailedEditOfTheSamePath.

@Vasanthdev2004 — tool call with no result still claiming its file
Same commit-on-success change fixes this: an interrupted call whose result never arrives stays pending and is dropped, so it no longer reports its file as changed. Regression: TestAnInterruptedWriteWithNoResultDoesNotClaimTheFile.

@Vasanthdev2004capEvents off-by-one
The trim note occupies one of the kept slots, displacing one more original event than len-max. The reported count now includes it (41 not imported, not 40). Regression strengthened in TestCappingKeepsTheTailAndSaysSo to assert the exact count.

@Vasanthdev2004 — slug fast path skips globSessionDirs (list-then-refuse)
The fast path globbed straight through a symlinked project directory that findTranscript (via globSessionDirs) Lstat-skips, so Discover could list a session Import then refused. The fast path now narrows within globSessionDirs' symlink-safe set, making the divergence structurally impossible. Regression: TestASymlinkedSlugDirectoryIsNotListedThenRefused (invariant: anything Discover lists, Read must import).

@Vasanthdev2004 — real-corpus tests only run against a live ~/.claude/~/.codex
Added checked-in Claude Code and Codex fixtures under testdata/ (generic invented work, no real transcript) and TestThe{ClaudeCode,Codex}FixtureParsesEndToEnd, which point the real adapters at them via CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/CODEX_HOME. The format-pin now runs deterministically in CI where the live-store tests skip.

Verification: gofmt, go vet, go build ./..., go test ./internal/agentsessions/ -race, release build + smoke, cross-compiled linux/windows, git diff --check — all clean. (One unrelated pre-existing failure, TestRunDoctorConnectivityProbesProvider, reproduces on untouched origin/main in this sandbox — a real-environment provider/config probe, not touched here.)

@gnanam1990 I found two blocking issues.

  1. /resume still hides foreign sessions on a fresh installation.
    In internal/tui/session.go, Line 405 calls ListResumable(). Line 406 returns nil when there are no local sessions. This return occurs before Line 447 calls foreignSessionItems. A user with zero local Zero sessions still gets the fallback none result, even when discovery finds foreign sessions. Build the local item list first, then append foreignSessionItems, and return nil only when the combined list is empty. Add a regression test with an empty local store and a discovered foreign session.

  2. Foreign titles still bypass terminal safety and secret redaction in /resume.
    In internal/tui/session.go, Line 518 passes ForeignSession.Title directly to displayValue, which only handles an empty value. An unimported Claude Code aiTitle, Factory title, or Codex-derived title can therefore inject ESC/NUL bytes into the picker before import. After import, internal/agentsessions/registry.go, Line 161 applies only stripControl, so a credential in the title also remains visible in the imported-session picker row. Apply redact to foreign titles before every picker render, and persist the redacted title at import. Add tests for an unimported title with control bytes and a title containing a credential.

The activity-claim, interrupted-call, event-cap, slug-directory, structural event-field, and fixture changes are correct.

Re-reviewed at 8689da21, this time as a verdict rather than notes, since it is out of draft. Ran it on Windows.

Both of my August blockers are properly closed, and I checked rather than took the commit titles.

noteEvent is now EventMessage with a noteEventSummaryKey marker instead of EventCompaction, so it no longer lands on a type whose replay contract it could not satisfy. That was the harder of the two to see, and the fix is the right shape: a marker on a type that has no side effect, rather than a payload padded out to look like a compaction.

Structural fields are redacted now too. role, name and toolCallId all route through redact(), so the chokepoint comment is literally true where it previously was not.

The control-byte fix introduced a different bug, and it is the one I would block on.

func redact(value string) string {
    return stripControl(redaction.RedactString(value, redaction.Options{}))
}

Redaction runs FIRST and matches by shape. stripControl then deletes the control byte with no separator, so it rejoins. A secret split by one therefore survives redaction and is reassembled afterwards, which is exactly backwards from what the chokepoint promises.

Proven here against the real redact, every key shape and every splitter:

unsplit    -> "token [REDACTED] end"
NUL        -> "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"
ESC        -> "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"
backspace  -> "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"
C1         -> "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"

Same for ghp_ and AKIA. The unsplit value redacts correctly, which is what makes this easy to miss: the tests that exist all use unsplit values.

This matters more here than almost anywhere, because the input is a foreign transcript. That is untrusted by construction, and the whole feature is reading it.

The fix is the order, one line:

return redaction.RedactString(stripControl(value), redaction.Options{})

I verified that closes it. Every splitter above then gives token [REDACTED] end.

Worth saying plainly that this is the same defect as #835, where an MCP failure reason was redacted before the terminal sanitizer rejoined the halves. Two packages, same ordering, both written to be careful about exactly this. It is a genuinely non-obvious trap, and the general rule is worth writing down somewhere: normalize first, match second, because any normalizer that removes bytes without leaving a gap is also a reassembler. A regression with a split value belongs next to the existing redaction tests.

Still open from August: the real-corpus test fails for anyone with a real store.

--- FAIL: TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses
    codex_test.go:177: indexed 2 of 2 rollouts; 2 titled, 0 with a model
    codex_test.go:187: no session got a model — turn_context is being discarded again

Same failure and same cause as in August: these rollouts carry turn_context past the 64-line head budget. It passes on CI only because the runner has no ~/.codex to discover. That is the wrong way round, green for the robot and red for the contributor, and it is the first thing a new reviewer hits. A fixture pinning the past-the-budget case would make it deterministic and would test the adapter rather than whatever happens to be on the reviewer's disk.

Also, the branch is one commit behind main (cabfeef against 2d2450e9). Worth rebasing so it is reviewed against the tree it will land on.

Everything else I raised as smaller in August has been addressed, and go build ./... and gofmt are clean here.

The standard in this change is high, and both of the hard structural problems I raised were fixed properly rather than papered over. The ordering bug only shows up if you go looking with a split value, so no criticism in it having survived. Happy to re-review quickly.

Pushed 582fa47b fixing the redaction order myself rather than handing it back, since it was a one-line swap and I already had the probe that proved it.

// before
return stripControl(redaction.RedactString(value, redaction.Options{}))
// after
return redaction.RedactString(stripControl(value), redaction.Options{})

The regression covers three key shapes against five splitters (NUL, ESC, backspace, DEL, C1) and fails against the old order with the intact credential in the output.

Two things about the test worth knowing, because both are traps I walked into writing it.

The C1 literal was lost somewhere between my editor and the file, leaving an empty splitter, and strings.Contains(x, "") is always true, so the test failed against the correct fix while reporting the wrong reason. It now uses string(rune(0x85)) and asserts the splitter is non-empty, so a lost literal fails loudly instead of quietly proving nothing.

There is also a newline case, so the fix cannot degrade into "strip everything and call it redaction". A newline survives stripping and therefore separates rather than rejoins, and it is legitimate transcript content.

Two items from my review are still open, so this is not ready yet:

  • TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses still fails on any machine with a real ~/.codex. Unchanged by this push, and it is your call how to fixture it since you know what those rollouts look like.
  • The branch is one commit behind main (cabfeef against 2d2450e9).

The rest of the change is in good shape, and both structural problems from August are properly closed. Shout when the corpus test is fixtured and I will re-run the whole thing here.

Re-reviewed at 582fa47b. The ordering blocker is properly closed and I checked it rather than reading the commit title.

redact is RedactString(stripControl(value)) now, and redaction_order_test.go is load-bearing. I reverted the one line and ran it:

--- FAIL: TestASecretSplitByAControlByteIsStillRedacted/anthropic_key/NUL
    a credential split by NUL was reassembled after redaction and reached the
    output: "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"

Every splitter, every shape. That is a test that would have caught the bug, which is the part that usually goes missing. The comment you left on it carries the general rule forward too, which I would rather have than the fix alone.

One thing left, and it is the same one from August.

The real-corpus tests still fail for anyone with a real store, and there are two of them now

--- FAIL: TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses
    indexed 2 of 2 rollouts; 2 titled, 0 with a model
    no session got a model — turn_context is being discarded again

--- FAIL: TestTheRealCorpusStillParses
    indexed 15 of 21 real transcripts (71%) — too many are being dropped

Both pass on CI only because the runner has no store to discover. Green for the robot, red for the contributor, and it is the first thing the next reviewer hits before they have read a line of the feature. TestTheRealCorpusStillParses is new since I last looked, so the pattern is spreading rather than being retired.

The fix I would take is a fixture pinning the past-the-budget turn_context case and whatever shape the 6 dropped transcripts have. That tests the adapter instead of testing whatever happens to be on the reviewer's disk, and it turns the 71% into a number that means something. A clean t.Skip when no store exists would at least stop it being a false red, but it would also stop it finding anything, so I would rather have the fixture.

This is the only thing standing between the branch and my approval. Ping me and I will turn it around quickly.

Two smaller things

The branch is 2 behind main, and those two commits are #890 and #903. #903 is the Go 1.26.6 bump, so a rebase clears the vulncheck red on this PR rather than you having to explain it.

Minor, Windows only: internal/agentsessions/testdata/codex-home/sessions/2026/08/01/rollout-2026-08-01T10-00-00-fixture0-0000-0000-0000-000000000001.jsonl is about 130 characters repo-relative. Checking the branch out under a deep parent path fails outright with Filename too long. It checks out fine from a short root, so this is a nit rather than a blocker, but Windows is a required platform and that is not much headroom. Shortening the fixture stem would cost nothing.

kevincodex1 pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 15, 2026
Three separate changes hit this in a fortnight, each written by someone
being careful about exactly the thing that got them.

A transform that removes bytes without leaving a gap is also a
reassembler. Redaction that matches by shape, run before a sanitizer that
strips control bytes, lets a credential split by a NUL or an ESC pass the
patterns as two fragments and be rejoined on the way out: the MCP failure
reason in #835, and the imported-transcript chokepoint in #878. The path
form of the same mistake is comparing where a handle landed against a
value produced by the same resolver the kernel just used, so a redirect
agrees with itself: the ACL guard in #808, where junctions were caught
only by an accident of Go's mode bits and directory symlinks were not
caught at all.

The unsplit value passing is what makes it survive review, so the note
says the test needs a split case.

@Vasanthdev2004 — all three fixed at ad57dd3c. You were right about the blocker and the mechanism turned out to be worse than a threshold set too tight.

I reproduced your numbers exactly

I couldn't reproduce the failure by running the tests, because they pass here — 44 of 44 rollouts with 43 models, 360 of 367 transcripts. That is the bug. Both tests assert statistics over whatever store the machine has, which isn't a property of this package.

So I built a store shaped like yours and ran the tests at 582fa47b against it:

codex_test.go:184: no session got a real title — the context-injection filter has stopped working
codex_test.go:187: no session got a model — turn_context is being discarded again
--- FAIL: TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses
family1_test.go:253: indexed 15 of 21 real transcripts (71%) — too many are being dropped
--- FAIL: TestTheRealCorpusStillParses

Your output, verbatim. Against the same store this branch passes and explains itself:

no session in the live store carries a model: every rollout here has its turn_context
outside the head budget. TestARolloutWithALateTurnContextIndexesWithoutAModel pins that
shape deterministically (2 rollouts)

What the shapes are

The model. turn_context is the only record carrying one — I enumerated payload keys across the real 44-rollout store and session_meta has no model key at all. It lands at line 4–8 and byte offset 15KB–175KB here, inside the budget; outside it on yours. The session is still listed, titled, addressable and importable — only the label is missing — and Discover walks the whole date-partitioned store on every picker open, so I kept the bounded read and pinned the current behaviour. The comment says that teaching the index to recover it should fail that test deliberately rather than drift.

The drops. cwd is only carried by user, attachment and system records; the preamble types never carry it. All 7 misses here are single bridge-session stubs — legitimate, since a session with no workspace can't be resumed into one.

But there is a real defect behind the same verdict, and nothing distinguishes them in the output. The cwd-bearing record is subject to MaxLineBytes; a truncated record fails to parse and is skipped whole. That is already happening to the opening user record in 30 of 367 transcripts here — they survive only because Claude Code writes a small attachment next that also carries cwd. 73 of the 360 indexed sessions (20%) take their cwd from an attachment rather than the user record that should have supplied it. One without that rescue vanishes and looks exactly like a stub. This may well be some of your 6. TestAWorkspaceInAnOverlongRecordIsStillFound pins it.

The two smaller ones

  • Rebased. Your note said 2 behind; it was 14 by the time I got to it. Clean, merged tree builds.
  • Windows paths: longest testdata path 133 → 108 chars. The trailing uuid is kept because codexID reads the session id from it.

The live-store tests now report their counts instead of asserting them. They still fail hard on a non-empty store indexing nothing, and on an index entry missing a field the CLI prints — the parts that are about the code rather than about the disk.

Three mutations, each caught by its own test: removing the cwd guard indexes both unresumable stubs; shrinking MaxLineBytes drops the long-cwd session; raising MaxLines lets the head scan reach the late turn_context.

One thing I did not do. The import path discards a model it already has: translateCodex streams the entire file, so every byte of turn_context is read and thrown away, and the imported session takes ModelID from the head-bounded index entry instead. Fixing it costs zero extra IO but needs the Adapter.Read signature to return metadata alongside events — a change across all four adapters. That felt like scope I shouldn't take unilaterally on a draft with no parent issue yet. Say the word and I'll do it here, otherwise it's a clean follow-up.

@coderabbitai — addressed at ad57dd3c. The newline case now asserts what its comment claimed: both halves are named and the absence of any [REDACTED] is checked. The newline assertion alone passed just as well if the matcher spanned the newline and redacted both halves as one, since the separator would survive inside a redaction that ate the text around it. Mutation-checked by removing the tab/newline exemption from stripControl: all four assertions fire. The distinction it pins — newline blocks the match, NUL is stripped and rejoins — is what stops stripControl being widened later in a way that would make the NUL test pass for the wrong reason.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@gnanam1990 Confirmed. The strengthened newline case now verifies the required boundary behavior:

  • stripControl removes NUL and re-forms a split credential for redaction.
  • stripControl preserves newlines, so the matcher does not join and redact separate text.
  • The test rejects an unexpected [REDACTED] marker across the newline boundary.

This closes the redaction-order regression coverage.

Learning: In `internal/agentsessions`, sanitize imported text by applying `stripControl` before `redaction.RedactString`. `stripControl` must preserve tabs and newlines: removable control bytes can rejoin credential fragments for redaction, while a newline must remain a boundary that prevents matching across separate transcript content.

Detect theme-save failure with a value, not a substring. Both sites decide whether to show a success notice by searching the handler's prose for "could not save theme preference".

…ends on it

Seven findings from @jatmn, all one shape: a property proved at the helper
where an earlier report pointed, then lost where another function changed the
representation, identity or state that proof rested on.

Tool arguments are sanitized as decoded values, not as serialized bytes. A
JSON-escaped path held no ESC byte and no key prefix while encoded, so the
sanitizer passed it whole and the TUI's argHint decoded it on resume into a
live escape and a complete PAT in the tool row. toolCallEvent, the one
constructor both adapters use, now decodes, redacts every string leaf and
re-encodes; free-form Codex scripts stay text.

Redaction runs on both sides of control stripping. Stripping assembles a key
split by a control byte (already covered) and also erases the word boundary an
intact key needs when the control sits just before it, so
"progress\rsk-ant-..." survived messageEvent. Both directions now hold at once.

Foreign Windows paths are compared without resolver I/O. The TUI's
sessionMatchesWorkspace ran EvalSymlinks before its Windows branch, so a
transcript cwd of \\server\share\repo could dial the share from the Update loop
while formatting the post-import note or filtering the picker. It now delegates
to the lexical, case-insensitive policy discovery already uses.

The reference-only boundary survives the resume digest. The boundary note was
an ordinary message and the digest keeps the last 80, so any import of 80 or
more turns lost it on the first resume while keeping every foreign turn. Every
imported event now carries a marker and FormatExecPrompt regenerates the label
from the retained window when the note itself is gone -- derived from the
events that are present rather than from one event surviving truncation,
compaction or a fork. The 80-event budget is unchanged.

Pi is parsed with Pi's schema. It shares family 1's directory layout and not
its message vocabulary (toolCall blocks with object arguments, a separate
toolResult role with isError, an outer type of "message" on every entry), so
routing it through the Claude parser dropped every call and result and titled
every session "untitled". pi.go carries the vendor's parsing; bounded reading,
event construction, redaction, the reasoning opt-in and the activity summary
stay shared.

A late picker result cannot switch a running session. Bare /resume checked
m.pending at dispatch only; the asynchronous result installed the picker
regardless and a selection then switched activeSession under a live run whose
completion appended into the other conversation. Results are now bound to the
request generation and originating session and refused while a run is active,
and the selection route rechecks on its own before any mutation. Discovery
stays asynchronous.

The file that was verified is the file that is read. Read validated the
selected path through one handle, translated through a second open and
validated through a third; a writer that swapped the entry between those
lookups had B's bytes accepted under A's provenance. One handle is now opened
and proved against the discovery snapshot, read, and proved again on the same
handle after the last byte. Rooted open, regular-file check and bounded extent
are unchanged.

Each fix carries a regression at the consumer where the property has to hold,
and each was confirmed to fail with the fix reverted.

Rebased onto current main (c1937dfa) and resolved the ACP/session conflicts at 63e4a0db.

The resolution preserves both contracts:

  • ACP session/load / session/resume still require an explicit absolute client cwd and reject workspace mismatches;
  • imported sessions use their unredacted WorkspaceKey only as persisted operational identity, while display-safe Cwd remains non-authoritative.

The rebase also updated the imported-model reload fixtures to use the persisted workspace identity required by the merged ACP lifecycle contract. Range-diff accounted for all 36 original patches; the only semantic differences are the conflict adaptations to the merged ACP implementation.

Validation on the rebased head:

  • affected package suites passed (internal/acp, internal/agentsessions, internal/sessions, internal/tui);
  • affected race suites passed;
  • make fmt-check, go vet ./..., isolated go test ./..., release build/smoke, and make vulncheck passed;
  • advisory staticcheck reports the same four findings in files byte-identical to current main;
  • no dependency or new third-party module changes.

Re-review requested from @Vasanthdev2004 and @anandh8x.

Follow-up head b3bc4940 fixes the deterministic Windows failure from the rebased regression fixture: it now derives both display and operational paths from t.TempDir() instead of using a Unix-only /work/... literal.

Focused proof:

  • the operational-identity and imported-model reload tests passed 20 repetitions;
  • the ACP Windows/amd64 test binary compiles;
  • the other failed Windows test (TestExecCommandForegroundServerReturnsSessionAndServesHTTP) is in files byte-identical to current main and passed 5 local repetitions; no change was made to that unrelated path. The new CI run will re-evaluate it on Windows.

Re-review remains requested from @Vasanthdev2004 and @anandh8x.

Re-reviewed at b3bc4940. The shape I reported is genuinely fixed, and I re-drove it rather than reading the diff. The class around it is still open, and one of the remaining spellings is ordinary rather than adversarial, so I am keeping the block for one more round. Everything below is one decision, not a queue.

What is closed. The pre-normalization redaction pass is gone, which was the whole defect: a key split by ESC, NUL, NEL, ZWSP, RLO, CR or TAB no longer shows its prefix redacted and its suffix in the clear. I ran all seven at four split points, plus LF, VT, FF, BEL, DEL, soft hyphen, word joiner, BOM and LRM, and no eight-character run of the key survives any of them. redactDisplaySpaceSplits is the right idea for the whitespace-to-space half, and remapping the surviving boundary offsets after a replacement is a detail that would have bitten later. Ordinary text is untouched: tabs inside titles, paths, commit hashes and prose all come through unchanged.

What is still open. The new function rejoins exactly one split point, comparing the two fragments adjacent to a single space. A credential carrying two separators, a two-byte separator, or a separator that leaves printable bytes behind still shows a long run. Measured against a 93-character sk-ant-api03- key, longest surviving run, alongside the plain shared redactor for reference:

case                 this head   plain redactor
single tab @48            1            45
single ESC @48            1            45
CSI  ESC [ 3 1 m @48     45            45
CSI  ESC [ 3 1 m @13     80            80
OSC  ESC ] 0 ; t BEL     45            45
CRLF @48                 45            45
two tabs (20, 60)        33            40
tab every 10 chars       10            10
one literal space @48    45            45
two spaces @48           45            45

Head is never worse than the plain redactor, so none of these is a regression, and the seven-separator row is a real improvement. But the CSI and CRLF rows are the ones I would not ship: ESC [ 3 1 m is what an actual terminal escape looks like, and DisplayField deletes only the ESC byte, so [31m stays and separates the halves with printable bytes the span logic never considers. And a CRLF becomes two adjacent spaces, so the left and right scans each stop on the other space and the span is skipped. Neither needs a clever attacker; a multiline title in a foreign session file produces the second one by itself.

The fix, and it is smaller than what is there now. Join the whole field instead of one pair: strip every space and layout byte from the normalized string, ask the shared redactor once whether that contains a secret, and if it does, redact the whole run of secret-shaped bytes and separators that produced it. I checked that this direction actually catches what is left, through the shared redactor rather than by argument:

one literal space @48   whole-field join detects secret = true
two spaces @48          true
CRLF @48                true
two tabs                true
tab every 10 chars      true

Pin it with the multi-separator cases, not only the single-separator ones. TestDisplayFieldDoesNotLeakCredentialFragmentsAcrossNormalizedSeparators covers exactly the seven spellings at one split point, which is why the table above is green on that row and red on the others; a test that also runs two separators and a CSI sequence would have held this.

The rest of the head reads well and I am not asking for anything in it. requestedWorkspace refusing an absent or relative cwd on both lifecycle methods is the right place for that rule, and the comment explaining that an omitted field and an empty one are indistinguishable on the wire is the reason it belongs there rather than in one handler. ReadEventsWithPresence keeping "intentionally empty" apart from "missing" is a real distinction for an activation protocol that promises restored context. session/resume not replaying history while session/load does is a defensible split and the doc says so. internal/agentsessions, internal/acp and internal/sessions are green here and vet is clean; CI is 12 of 12 on this head.

One thing worth knowing rather than doing: the new resume path does not refuse a sub-run session id, so #1045 stays open after this lands. Not this PR's job, and it does not reference the issue; I am only saying so because the two touch the same handler and I do not want it read as covered.

Use a presentation type for search metadata.

Hit.Session serializes sessions.Metadata, and RedactResult leaves Tag, SourceModelID, SpecUserComment, and SpecRejectReason unchanged. These fields accept caller-provided text and the CLI passes the result directly to JSON output. A secret-bearing value can therefore reach zero search --json unchanged. Return an explicit presentation type, or apply redaction.RedactString to every retained string field, and add a regression test for one of these fields.

Bind checkpoint roots to trusted local state before rewind.

restoreToSequenceLocked passes any non-empty payload.WorkspaceRoot to resolveWithinWorkspace, which only confines paths within that supplied root. A modified checkpoint can therefore restore or delete files in another existing directory. checkpointCanFollowFork filters only explicit cross-workspace forks, and OperationalCwd cannot be the sole binding because imported sessions intentionally use a foreign workspace while capturing a local root. Store integrity-protected local provenance for each checkpoint root, reject mismatches before resolveWithinWorkspace, and add a regression test for a tampered absolute root. Preserve matching-root checkpoints for same-workspace forks and skip them for explicit cross-workspace forks.

Re-reviewed at b3bc4940, same head as my last round. Nothing has moved on the code, so my block stands on the one item from before, and I am not going to restate it at length: the split-credential class in DisplayField is still open for the multi-separator and printable-remainder spellings, the table is in my previous review, and the whole-field join is the fix I would take.

What is worth this round is the five findings CodeRabbit posted at this exact head after your review request. I drove the two it marked Major, because both land in this PR's own trust territory and I did not want them sitting on the PR unexamined.

The rewind one does not reach this PR's surface, and I would not act on it here. The claim is that restoreToSequenceLocked trusts payload.WorkspaceRoot and so a modified checkpoint can restore or delete files in another directory. The shape is real: a non-empty root is passed straight to resolveWithinWorkspace, which confines only within the root it was handed. But nothing on the import path can set it. internal/agentsessions emits no checkpoint events at all, and CheckpointPayload.WorkspaceRoot is only ever written at checkpoint.go:188 from the locally verified root captured at mutation time. Reaching the bad state means hand-editing Zero's own event log, and anyone who can do that can also rewrite the metadata that decides which workspace the session belongs to. This PR actually tightens the area: the imported-session branch refuses a checkpoint with no workspace binding rather than falling back to the session's root, which is the case a foreign session would produce.

The search one is real but pre-existing, and your import path is already defended. redactMetadata covers ten fields and leaves Tag, SourceModelID, SpecUserComment and SpecRejectReason untouched, and zero search --json prints the result. For the two fields you populate it does not bite: SourceModelID is set through DisplayField, so a key in a foreign model id is redacted before it is ever stored. I drove that, contiguous and tab-split and with an escape sequence, and all three came back clean. Tag is built from the adapter name and the source id rather than free text. The live exposure is the two spec fields, which have nothing to do with this change. I filed it as #1048 rather than parking it on you.

Two things I would take from CodeRabbit's smaller findings. stripControl and findTranscript have zero non-test callers in the tree, so the change leaves two dead helpers behind; the lint check is green because that job is advisory, which is exactly why it is easy to miss. And its point about pi_test.go is fair: the assertion overwrites summary on every summary event, so it only ever inspects the last one, and a regression in an earlier event would pass.

Everything else in the head reads the same as last time. internal/agentsessions, internal/acp and internal/sessions are green here, vet clean, CI 12 of 12.

So of the five, I would spend time on the two dead helpers and the test assertion, skip the rewind one, and treat the search one as #1048. The display class is the only thing between this and my approval.

Addressed the remaining in-scope current-head findings in 6b53f9ed.

  • DisplayField now redacts credentials split across one or more spaces, tabs, CRLF, and multiple normalized separators.
  • Complete ANSI CSI/OSC sequences are removed, so printable escape remainders cannot split a credential.
  • Added early, late, multi-split, CSI, OSC, whitespace, and context-preservation regressions.
  • Removed dead production wrappers and routed tests through the live snapshot/tail readers.
  • Removed the dead transcript resolver and retained arbitrary-path coverage through the public import path.
  • Pi assertions now aggregate every summary event.
  • The Codex byte-tail regression now uses a small test-only cap instead of allocating the production 32 MiB.
  • No dependency or third-party integration changes.

The rewind scenario remains unchanged because foreign import does not emit checkpoint events and cannot populate that payload. The separate pre-existing search metadata issue remains tracked in #1048.

Validation:

  • make fmt-check
  • go vet ./...
  • go test ./...
  • go test -race ./internal/agentsessions
  • repeated split-secret regression x20
  • release build + smoke
  • make vulncheck
  • git diff HEAD^ --check
  • lint-static has only the same four repository-wide advisory quick-fix findings, none in this change.

Follow-up b7e4ed75 addresses the fresh adversarial-work finding.

  • Fragment probing now first rejects starts that cannot become a supported credential prefix.
  • Each viable start is capped at 256 joined bytes; all fixed-prefix formats reach their minimum shape within 40 bytes.
  • An unresolved long sk- candidate fails closed at the cap.
  • Deterministic regression instrumentation proves the per-start probe size is bounded without wall-clock assertions.
  • A table proves every supported credential family still redacts after a split.
  • Full tests, vet, format, release build/smoke, focused race, vulncheck, and diff check pass.
  • No dependency or third-party integration changes.

@gnanam1990 Review complete for b7e4ed75.

The fragment probe now rejects non-viable prefixes before detector calls. Each detector input is limited to maxDisplaySecretProbeBytes. The unresolved sk- case fails closed at the limit.

TestDisplayFieldFragmentProbeIsBounded verifies the probe-size bound without timing assertions. TestDisplayFieldPrefixFilterKeepsEverySupportedSecretFamily covers each supported credential family across a display-space split.

I found no new blocking findings in this follow-up.

I found eight issues that need attention at b7e4ed75: three P1, four P2, and one minor P3 advisory issue. The findings below are the correction set for this reviewed head. The implementation and regression guidance explains how to close that set without expanding the feature.

The intended feature remains bounded, read-only import of the four advertised agents' local transcripts, followed by continuation under Zero's existing provider and workspace controls.

Why these findings keep recurring

The recurring problem is loss of meaning between stages. Several fixes establish the right property at one stage, but a later transformation or a sibling consumer does not preserve it:

  • Text transformations are individually plausible but unsafe in combination. A redactor can recognize a credential before a control is removed, yet expose its suffix afterward. A title formatter can respect its length limit while cutting away the syntax the next redactor needs. A bounded fragment probe can pass its own work-limit test while another loop still repeatedly scans the whole suffix.
  • Persistence fixes do not automatically fix restoration. Compaction now stores imported provenance correctly, but ACP discards it when building its own history representation. Checking the stored field does not establish what the next model request receives.
  • New representations require consumers to retain their meaning. Separating display Cwd from WorkspaceKey works only if operational consumers consistently use the latter. Adding StatusUnknown works only if restored-history consumers stop interpreting every non-error result as success.

Those are concrete patterns in this diff, not a request for a broader redesign. The correction should make each property hold from its existing producer through its actual consumer. Shared helpers can help where semantics are shared; explicit separate policies are appropriate where they differ, such as multiline transcript text versus one-line labels. There is no requirement to introduce a framework or collapse every path into one function.

Findings

1. [P1] Preserve complete credential spans when normalizing transcript text

Location: internal/agentsessions/translate.go:71-73redact, reached by the message/tool constructors and decoded argument traversal.

Observed failure. redact calls RedactString before removing controls. Take sk-ant-api03- followed by 80 synthetic body characters and insert a NUL at byte 48. The prefix before that NUL is already long enough to match. The first pass replaces it; control removal then leaves [REDACTED] followed by 45 credential characters. Both messageEvent and decoded tool arguments persist that suffix. DisplayField fully redacts the identical input, so the recent display correction has not reached the transcript constructors.

Root cause. The first replacement destroys information needed to recognize the complete normalized span. Another redaction pass cannot recover a token prefix that has already been replaced. Simply removing the first pass is also insufficient unless the replacement retains the earlier protection for an intact credential whose leading separator is removed.

Required outcome. Recognize and remove the complete credential while retaining the information needed for both internal splits and erased leading boundaries. Apply that property through the existing transcript constructors and decoded argument path. The implementation mechanism is your choice.

Regression coverage. Exercise a split before and after the prefix becomes independently recognizable, plus an intact key immediately after a removed separator and a combined case. Assert the actual message/tool payload and decoded argument value, not only the display helper. Retain controls proving that ordinary surrounding text, legitimate transcript tabs/newlines, valid argument JSON, sensitive-key redaction and opaque call/result identities still behave as intended. This is limited to the control classes and credential rules already supported here.

2. [P1] Keep long split JWTs protected by the bounded display scan

Location: internal/agentsessions/translate.go:198-205 — the bounded fragment probe and its sk--only fallback.

Observed failure. A JWT-shaped value with a 300-character middle segment and a tab inserted before that segment ends is emitted in full by DisplayField, with the tab changed to a space. The contiguous form is redacted. The preceding commit redacts both forms. Every credential character survives in the failing output; this is more than a short token prefix.

Root cause. The scan stops after 256 joined bytes, but the shared JWT matcher needs the third segment before it can recognize the token. That segment can occur beyond the limit. The fallback handles unresolved sk- candidates, while the already-supported eyJ shape falls through. A fixed amount of lookahead is being treated as proof that no supported secret is present.

Required outcome. Keep recognition of supported delayed-match shapes safe at the work limit. Preserve the performance bound at the same time. Increasing or removing the limit alone would undo the purpose of the latest change; silently abandoning a still-possible supported shape leaves the exposure intact.

Regression coverage. Compare contiguous and layout-split versions of the same long JWT, including a shape whose third segment lies beyond the current limit. Cover the final DisplayField result and an existing ingress that uses it, such as imported source-model metadata. Retain ordinary non-secret text and long-input work-bound controls. This is a correction to the existing supported shapes, not a request for new credential formats or arbitrary Unicode normalization.

3. [P1] Redact full values before deriving shortened titles and activity notes

Locations: internal/agentsessions/family1.go:315-325; internal/agentsessions/activity.go:244-251, with callers in command/search/path/failure summary construction.

Observed failure. Titles are cut at 72 runes before DisplayField; activity items are cut at 120 runes before noteEvent redacts them. With 55 prose characters, a space, and ghp_ plus 36 synthetic body characters, the title retains ghp_ plus 12 credential characters because the shortened value no longer meets the matcher minimum. The complete input is redacted correctly. Command summaries reproduce the same ordering problem.

This is not limited to an unusable PAT fragment. With 50 prose characters, a space, and {"password":"demoPass"}, the title cutoff removes the closing quote while retaining the entire synthetic password. The full value redacts demoPass; the shortened title exposes it because the JSON-shaped sensitive-field match no longer sees its closing syntax.

Root cause. Redaction runs after a lossy derivation. Length truncation and first-line extraction can destroy the evidence needed by the existing matcher. Sanitizing the source message does not protect a separate title or activity note that was independently derived from the raw value.

Required outcome. Ensure complete-value sanitization protects each derived text path before shortening can destroy recognizable structure. Follow the existing callers through title generation, command/search items, path display and failure notes, including the final assembled-note budget. Preserve raw workspace/call identity for operational use; sanitize the presentation copy, not the identity.

Regression coverage. Put a recognized credential across the title and activity cutoffs, include the JSON-password case, and inspect persisted title and activity-event content after import. Keep ordinary useful text and valid UTF-8. Preserve the current title/item cutoffs, total summary byte limit and source-event cap semantics. Tests of the source message alone do not exercise this failure.

4. [P2] Bound total sanitizer work, including the removed-control pass

Location: internal/agentsessions/translate.go:116-123redactAtRemovedBoundaries.

Observed failure. Every removed-control boundary runs the full redactor over the remaining suffix and rebuilds the string. Alternating printable characters and NULs causes quadratic work. Runs with 1,000/2,000/4,000/8,000 pairs took approximately 0.14/0.57/2.26/9.94 seconds. A subsequent run showed the same scaling. The largest decoded value is only 16 KB, roughly 56 KB as JSON, far below the accepted import limits.

Larger accepted messages can occupy CLI import or a TUI import for a prolonged period. This helper also serves display sanitization, and it has no cancellation check. The bounded space-fragment probe does not bound this separate loop.

Root cause. Input size is bounded, but processing repeatedly revisits large overlapping portions of that input. A local bound on one helper is not a bound on the composed sanitizer.

Required outcome. Bound total work as accepted input grows while retaining the redaction guarantees in findings 1–3. Merely stopping boundary processing early would replace the performance defect with an exposure. A cancellation mechanism alone would not correct the excessive work on an otherwise valid input.

Regression coverage. Exercise control-dense input through the full sanitizer and an existing constructor/display entry point. Use an implementation-appropriate deterministic work bound where feasible—for example, total matcher input or visited data across the relevant passes—and supplement it with increasing-size benchmarks. Avoid a fragile assertion that every machine must finish in the exact measured milliseconds. Retain the existing read-size limits and secret-safety tests. No new production telemetry or benchmark framework is required.

5. [P2] Preserve imported provenance through fresh ACP restoration after compaction

Locations: internal/sessions/replay.go:78-81; consumer internal/acp/agent.go:937-954, continuing through buildPrompt.

Observed failure. The compaction correction stores importedEvent on the summary, but ACP's loadHistory decodes only Summary and converts it to a plain turnRecord. After compaction replaces the original boundary note, a fresh ACP load/resume sends the foreign-derived summary to buildPrompt as ordinary assistant history without the reference-only label.

This reproduces using the normal six-event preservation window: imported boundary and foreign content, followed by enough native continuation to compact the imported prefix. A valid summary retains a foreign fact without repeating the warning. The marker survives on disk; the resulting ACP prompt loses it. FormatExecPrompt handles this for exec/TUI, but ACP builds its own prompt.

Root cause. The durable event carries semantics that the restoration projection drops. Correct serialization does not establish correct downstream consumption. This remains within the earlier provenance request: retained foreign-derived information must remain explicitly reference-only.

Required outcome. Preserve or re-establish that boundary from the effective restored context before ACP constructs the next model request. Use the existing provenance semantics. A session-level import tag alone is insufficient: it must not permanently label a context that contains only native information. Do not impose exec's prompt format or event-window policy on ACP as part of this fix.

Regression coverage. Run the real plan/record/rehydrate path with a deterministic summary that omits the boundary wording, then restore through fresh ACP session/load and session/resume and inspect the next prompt. Extend the marked-summary case through repeated compaction and the existing fork/reload path. Keep native-only and already-labeled controls. Preserve ACP's existing replay identities and native conversation behavior; a test that only asserts the stored boolean misses the failing edge.

6. [P2] Use the same operational workspace for ACP listing and activation

Locations: internal/acp/agent.go:260; affected listing at internal/acp/agent.go:396-409.

Observed failure. Activation uses OperationalCwd, but session/list still validates and resolves display-only item.Cwd. Import from an existing directory whose name contains a newline or a recognized token. Import preserves the exact directory in WorkspaceKey while sanitizing Cwd into another spelling.

Two failures follow. If the display-spelled directory does not exist, listing omits a session that is otherwise resumable. If both directories exist, listing advertises the wrong cwd, and returning that advertised value to load/resume fails the workspace check. Both paths reproduce with real directories.

Root cause. The PR changes the meaning of persisted Cwd and introduces an operational replacement, but the listing consumer retains the old assumption. Direct activation tests cover the new field without exercising the menu that supplies activation parameters.

Required outcome. Use the same operational identity for listing, cwd filtering and activation. ACP's operational cwd field must be suitable for returning to the activation API. Keep human-readable labels sanitized, and retain the current absolute-path, unavailable-workspace and explicit-client-cwd guards. This does not change which workspace an imported copy belongs to or authorize a different workspace.

Regression coverage. Import a fixture with divergent display/operational paths, then call session/list both without a filter and with the actual workspace filter. Pass the returned cwd into load/resume. Cover both absent and existing display-spelled directories. A token-shaped directory component can make the test portable without relying on newline filenames. Retain native, relative, deleted and mismatched-workspace controls. Do not expose raw identity in unrelated presentation/JSON fields to solve this operational protocol mismatch.

7. [P2] Keep unknown imported tool outcomes neutral in ACP replay

Locations: internal/agentsessions/codex.go:267-268; consumers internal/acp/agent.go:1059-1071 and internal/acp/translate.go:229-232.

Observed failure. Codex imports correctly persist StatusUnknown, because the source lacks a structured success bit. ACP's replayToolUpdate forwards that value to toolCallResult, which maps every non-error status to completed. The ACP v1 schema defines completed as successful completion. The restored result therefore claims success, even when its text happens to describe a failed command.

Root cause. A persisted third state reaches a consumer that still assumes a binary outcome. The earlier request to keep unknown outcomes neutral was addressed in other projections but remains incomplete here. The source text is not the authority for deciding whether the operation succeeded.

Required outcome. Preserve an explicitly unverified representation through ACP replay using the supported protocol. Do not emit an unsupported status value, infer success/failure from output prose, or change the handling of known native outcomes. The exact representation is an implementation choice; protocol constraints do not justify inventing a successful result.

Regression coverage. Persist paired call/result events, reload them through ACP, and inspect the actual replay representation for ok, error and unknown. The known states must retain their existing meanings; the unknown case must not assert either outcome. Use differing output text to establish that prose does not drive classification. Retain opaque call/result pairing and the already-correct neutral TUI/compaction behavior. Testing only the Codex adapter's stored status does not reach the failing consumer.

8. [P3] Finish native directory-alias comparison in the import warning

Location: internal/cli/sessions_import.go:277-294.

Observed failure. Windows case comparison is implemented, but POSIX paths still receive only filepath.Clean. A real directory and a symlink to it consequently produce the advisory that the session ran in another tree. This includes common macOS /var versus /private/var spellings. The canonical-path review request was marked resolved, but its alias case remains.

Root cause. Lexical cleanup is being used to answer a filesystem-identity question. The warning's comparison remains weaker than existing native workspace-equivalence behavior elsewhere.

Required outcome. Recognize eligible native directory aliases before issuing this advisory. Retain the existing conservative fallback when identity cannot be established, and preserve the lexical treatment of foreign Windows paths so their comparison does not introduce resolver or network I/O. This is only warning correctness; it does not require changing session workspace binding or global path policy.

Regression coverage. Use a real temporary native directory and an alias to it: same directory yields no warning, distinct directories still warn. Retain Windows case and foreign-Windows-path controls. Keep fixtures isolated and use the repository's existing platform-appropriate test conventions. This is a minor P3 issue, not a data-loss or authority-escalation claim.

How to address the root causes together

Please organize the correction around the three existing contracts below. The grouping does not add findings or require a particular code structure.

Work area Findings What completion should demonstrate
Sanitization and derived text 1–4 Complete recognized secret spans remain protected through normalization, redaction and shortening, and the complete operation has bounded work.
ACP projections of persisted history 5–7 Restoring or listing a stored session preserves the existing meaning of imported provenance, operational workspace identity and unverified outcomes.
Native workspace warning 8 The advisory compares eligible directory identities without changing foreign-path or workspace policy.

Treat sanitizer correctness and cost as one correction

Review the complete transformation order for the existing inputs: decoded transcript text, decoded structured arguments, metadata labels and derived activity text. Identify where a step removes information—control normalization, credential replacement, first-line selection, path presentation or length truncation—and ensure later decisions do not depend on information already discarded.

A useful design separates complete-value recognition from presentation shortening, while retaining the appropriate normalization and removed-boundary information. Transcript and display policies differ: a transcript preserves legitimate multiline content; a label must remain one line. Reuse the matching logic where appropriate without flattening those distinct policies. Keep the structured argument object's sensitive-key handling as well as its string-leaf handling.

Carry the existing safety and ordinary-text cases through every relevant policy entry point. Test combinations, not just each operation alone: a recognizable prefix split by a control; a leading boundary erased while an internal split is joined; a delayed-match token at the work cap; and truncation that removes the syntax around a sensitive value. These are the demonstrated failures and their existing preservation requirements, not an open-ended request to detect every imaginable encoding.

The bounded-work assertion must cover the composed operation. Counting only the new space-fragment probes cannot establish that the suffix-redaction loop is bounded. Equally, a faster implementation is incomplete if it restores the split-secret exposures. Correctness and work limits need to pass together on the resulting implementation.

Check ACP's actual outputs after restoration

For each newly meaningful persisted field, identify where ACP turns stored data into a different representation. loadHistory, turnRecord, buildPrompt, session/list and replay updates are the relevant boundaries here. A field can exist correctly in storage and still disappear or acquire the wrong meaning when those projections are built.

Prefer an existing shared accessor or a narrowly shared decision where semantics match. Do not make ACP reuse the entire exec prompt formatter, adopt a new window limit, or change its workspace/model policy merely to share code. The required agreement is semantic: foreign-derived context remains labeled, advertised workspaces are loadable under the same identity, and an unverified outcome stays unverified.

Tests should observe the final consumer: the next ACP prompt, the list-to-load round trip, and the replayed result. A storage-only test is useful but does not cover any of those three failures.

Use a small set of lifecycle regressions to connect the layers

The per-finding tests establish precise failure cases. A few integration scenarios should establish that the fixes survive the existing joins:

Existing lifecycle Assert at the consumer Preserve alongside it
Foreign fixture → import → persisted title/messages/arguments/activity → existing output or resume projection Recognized synthetic secrets and sensitive values remain protected in the derived outputs, not just the original source message. Useful text, valid JSON/UTF-8, opaque identity and current size budgets.
Import → native continuation → normal compaction → fresh ACP restoration → next prompt A retained foreign-derived summary still has the reference-only boundary even when the summary text omits it. Native-only context, existing prompt/replay behavior and repeated-compaction/fork semantics.
Import with different display/operational spellings → ACP list/filter → load/resume using the advertised cwd Listing and activation agree on the same workspace. Explicit cwd checks, workspace scoping and rejection of unavailable or mismatched workspaces.
Persisted tool pair → fresh ACP replay Known outcomes retain their meaning; unknown remains unverified. Valid wire representation and stable opaque pairing.

Use synthetic, hermetic fixtures. The correction does not need live credentials, another agent's real home directory, vendor subprocesses or network-backed provider tests. Reuse the existing fixture and harness infrastructure where it reaches the required consumer.

Scope boundaries for this correction

These eight findings preserve the agreed feature. The implementation and tests above are guidance for those findings, not additional product requirements.

  • Pi active-branch restoration remains excluded. The earlier scope statement explicitly excludes foreign process/active-branch restoration. A difference from Pi's native restoration behavior is not a reason to require that feature here.
  • Keep the current four-agent scope, read-only source handling, bounded read window and default omission of reasoning. No vendor runtime, credential reuse or provider-native conversation reconstruction is requested.
  • Keep foreign workspace provenance, explicit cross-workspace import/resume behavior and the existing picker scoping. Listing parity is not permission to rebind imported copies to the importing workspace.
  • Keep Zero's locally selected provider/model policy, model provenance separation, checkpoint workspace binding, opaque IDs, source-snapshot binding and retry/rollback protections.
  • Keep the existing cache/TTL and async completion policies. No cache redesign or new tiny-event-budget policy is required.
  • Keep existing native-session behavior and the supported ACP schema. No global redaction-policy rewrite, unrelated metadata cleanup or broad persistence migration is part of this correction set.

If a proposed implementation needs one of those product changes, separate that decision from the concrete defect repair. Choose the smallest implementation that establishes the required outcome and its preservation controls.

Before requesting review again

Please return with one revision that demonstrates the eight outcomes together. For each finding, identify the changed boundary, the regression that fails on this head and passes with the correction, and the preservation controls that remain green. A concise mapping is enough; resolving comment threads is not evidence that a downstream consumer now behaves correctly.

Run the focused regressions and affected race checks, followed by the repository's required validation on the resulting tree. Attribute any unrelated failure against the same base and environment rather than folding it into this PR's scope. No repeated broad test runs are needed without a new change or unresolved failure to investigate.

The reason for this structure is to stop repairing one visible spelling or one consumer at a time. The next revision should show that these existing contracts survive their full paths, with explicit limits on what the correction changes. It should not need another feature, a new framework, or a growing list of unrelated cleanup to close these findings.
