From bff3e2ef4b51e2579b09996d336db62fe2d10081 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shane Neuville Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 08:51:01 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Fix false 'session stuck' watchdog warning and response content loss on restart Two bugs fixed: 1. False quiescence timeout on resumed sessions: When the app restarts and resumes a session that was mid-turn, the 30s quiescence timeout could fire incorrectly even though the session was genuinely still active on the server. Fix: During restore, check events.jsonl freshness. If recently modified (< 120s), pre-seed HasReceivedEventsSinceResume to bypass the 30s quiescence and use the appropriate longer timeout (120s or 600s). 2. Response content lost between turn_end and session.idle: When the app restarts after assistant.turn_end but before session.idle, accumulated response text in CurrentResponse was never flushed to history/DB. Fix: Call FlushCurrentResponse on AssistantTurnEndEvent so content is persisted at the end of each sub-turn, not just on idle.
