Related GitHub Issue

Reported in Discord: recurring "billed but no response" failures on Claude Sonnet where the request row shows cancelReason: streaming_failed. No GitHub issue exists yet.

Description

When a provider stream fails mid-stream, the retry path previously re-submitted the same request without a bound. Each attempt could re-bill the full input context while producing no visible result.

This PR bounds automatic mid-stream retries at three, exposes each retry through the existing backoff countdown, and hands control to the user through the existing API failure prompt when the budget is exhausted. Approving starts a fresh bounded round without duplicating conversation history; declining records an assistant failure and stops. Retry-message ownership is carried explicitly across automatic retries; the approved-retry path persists deletion with replacement semantics and fails closed if persistence fails. Direct task disposal now cancels pending retry backoff and failure prompts.

The retry threshold and ownership predicates are production-backed pure decisions used by a new bounded protocol model. The model exhaustively covers success, failure, backoff, cancellation, approval, decline, retry visibility, exact budget exhaustion, and reset semantics through the existing pnpm lifecycle:model-check umbrella. A real VS Code extension-host E2E injects a valid partial SSE chunk followed by transport failure and verifies exactly four provider requests, visible retry state, and the terminal failure prompt.

Test Procedure

  • Focused retry/disposal suites: 140/140 passed.
  • xvfb-run -a env USE_MOCK=true TEST_FILE=mid-stream-retry.test pnpm --filter @roo-code/vscode-e2e test:run: 1/1 passed.
  • node scripts/stryker-diff.mjs ci --base 1165aebc84ac9d960885ac79b97dad8a7c78c84e --head 4ea1fe58e439b91455e2dcd2bf75d65452c15c09: passed with no surviving or uncovered changed-code mutants.
  • pnpm lifecycle:model-check: all seven bounded submodels passed; the retry model reached 32 states, 6/6 actions, and 3/3 semantic landmarks.
  • pnpm test: 8257 passed / 39 skipped across 10 successful tasks.
  • pnpm lint and pnpm check-types: passed across all packages.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of API stream failures after partial responses.
    • Automatic retries are limited to three attempts, with retry delays applied consistently.
    • Users are prompted when further retries require approval.
    • Approved retries no longer duplicate the original request in history.
    • Failed requests now end cleanly with an error recorded in the conversation.
    • Disposing a task now cancels pending requests promptly.

Walkthrough

The task now limits automatic mid-stream retries to three attempts. After exhaustion, it prompts for approval, prevents duplicate user messages, records declined failures, and resets the retry budget after approval. Unit, model-check, disposal, and end-to-end tests cover the flow.

Changes

Mid-Stream Retry Handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry control and history recovery
src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/midStreamRetry.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/*
The task bounds automatic retries, tracks user-message insertion, handles approval and decline, updates conversation history, aborts pending prompts during disposal, and validates failure recovery.
Retry state-model validation
scripts/check-mid-stream-retry.ts, package.json, docs/architecture/task-lifecycle-model.md
The lifecycle model explores retry, backoff, cancellation, approval, and decline states. The model check runs as part of the lifecycle validation command.
End-to-end retry verification
apps/vscode-e2e/src/suite/mid-stream-retry.test.ts
The VS Code test simulates a partial stream failure and verifies three automatic retries, a retry announcement, and no additional request while awaiting approval.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

The changed decline path can lose the synthetic failure message. At Task.ts:3729-3738, the path awaits addToApiConversationHistory, then increments the assistant count and returns. That helper appends the message, but it only stores the boolean result from saveApiConversationHistory() (Task.ts:1041-1057) and does not return the result or roll back the append when the save returns false. saveApiConversationHistory explicitly converts persistence errors to false (Task.ts:1210-1221). If the fourth stream attempt fails while the history file is temporarily unwritable, the failure remains only in memory, while a restart reads the previous persisted history. The changed path has no partial-failure handling for this case.

Resolution

Propagate the assistant-history save result from addToApiConversationHistory to the new decline path. If persistence fails, either perform a bounded retry and continue only after success, or roll back the synthetic assistant append and its count, then report a terminal persistence error. Do not return from the changed path while memory and persisted API history differ.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

disposeOnce now sets this.abort = true at Task.ts:2705, which makes a pending ask() exit through its abort branch at Task.ts:1662-1667. That branch throws before clearing the local timeouts array at Task.ts:1690-1691. For api_req_failed (classified as an idle ask), ask() schedules a 2-second status timer at Task.ts:1623-1633. Direct disposal therefore leaves the timer active; after disposal it can set idleAsk and emit TaskIdle. The new direct-disposal test uses this exact ask path. This is a changed disposal path that runs lifecycle work after disposal.

Resolution

Track active ask timers at task scope, or otherwise expose cancellation for each pending ask. Clear all status timers and autoApprovalTimeoutRef during disposal and abort handling before rejecting the ask. Also guard delayed callbacks against this.abort so no callback mutates task state or posts events after disposal.

Full details: Description check

The description clearly explains the failure, implementation, test coverage, and documentation impact. However, it does not link an approved GitHub Issue and explicitly leaves the required Issue Linked checklist item unchecked.

Verified and fixed at 4ea1fe58e439b91455e2dcd2bf75d65452c15c09.

  • Resolved all three CodeRabbit inline threads: exact per-retry announcements, exact message counters/fresh retry budget, and explicit user-message ownership across retries.
  • Addressed all three pre-merge code errors: strengthened regression evidence, replacement persistence with fail-closed rollback, and direct-disposal cancellation for pending asks/backoff.
  • Reproduced the changed-code mutation gate locally against this exact SHA; it passes with no surviving or uncovered changed-code mutants.
  • Final local gates pass: 140 focused tests, 8257 full tests (39 skipped), lint, typecheck, and all seven lifecycle model checks.
  • Latest GitHub check snapshot: 17 successful, 0 failing, 2 still running (platform-unit-test (windows-latest) and the newly queued mutation-diff). Codecov patch is 88.57% against an 80% target.

External gates remain: the PR is draft, has no approved linked GitHub issue, and automated-account policy requires human maintainer verification. No human review threads were modified.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Align the lifecycle documentation with the E2E scope. This test stops after receiving api_req_failed, so it does not exercise user decline or the terminal result. The E2E scope reserves detailed retry-protocol branches for lower-level tests, and Task.spec.ts already covers both prompt responses. Remove “and terminal decline behavior” from docs/architecture/task-lifecycle-model.md instead of adding this branch to the E2E suite.

surfaces the failure prompt,” which stops at api_req_failed, while retaining
lower-level coverage references such as Task.spec.ts.

Model cancellation from awaiting-user.

When the failure prompt is pending, this state permits only decline and approve. abort exists only from backoff at Line 61. The model cannot detect a regression where disposal leaves a pending API-failure prompt unsettled.

Add an abort transition from awaiting-user. Add coverage that distinguishes prompt cancellation from backoff cancellation.

As per path instructions, “Check strict typing and exhaustive behavior across normal, boundary, error, cancellation, retry, and compatibility paths.”

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Exercise the approved empty-continuation branch.

task.abort = true makes the real Task.say("api_req_retried") throw before shouldRemoveMidStreamRetryMessage runs. The assertions therefore cannot detect removal of the earlier user message. Return approval without aborting, then return a decline for the next exhausted round.

Remove the retry message by messageId, not by position.

When summarizeConversation runs, it tags the existing messages and appends a new user-role summary. The retry cleanup therefore pops the summary instead of the request's user message. The approved retry then starts with retryAttempt: 0 and adds the same user turn again. Record the messageId assigned to the request message and remove that exact entry after context management. Preserve the save-failure rollback and decrement messageCounts.user only after that entry is removed.
