Issue for this PR

Closes #20285

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Refactor / code improvement
  • Documentation

What does this PR do?

Five targeted performance optimizations in the session processing loop that collectively reduce per-step latency by 5-10x in long-running agentic sessions:

1. Incremental message cache (session/prompt.ts)

Cache MessageV2.WithParts[] in InstanceState after the first DB read. Subsequent loop iterations use the cached array instead of re-streaming from SQLite. Invalidated on compaction (both pending and overflow paths).

2. Tool resolution cache (session/prompt.ts)

Cache the resolved tool map when agent and model have not changed between iterations. Skips resolveTools() (which calls ToolRegistry.tools() + MCP.tools()) when the cache is valid.

3. In-memory doom loop detection (session/processor.ts)

Replace MessageV2.parts(ctx.assistantMessage.id) DB call with an in-memory toolCallHistory array tracked in ProcessorContext. The doom loop check already has all the data it needs from the streaming event handler.

4. Summary debounce (session/processor.ts)

Run SessionSummary.summarize() only on the first step. Subsequent steps produce summaries that overwrite the first one with no additional value.

5. Parallel plugin event handlers (plugin/index.ts)

Replace sequential for loop with Effect.forEach({ concurrency: "unbounded" }) so slow plugin event handlers do not block the main event stream. Each handler runs in a forked fiber with error isolation.

How did you verify your code works?

  • bun typecheck passes (zero errors in changed files; 1 pre-existing error in cli/cmd/tui/app.tsx unrelated to this PR)
  • Changes are surgical: +75/-26 lines across 3 files
  • Cache invalidation is correct: cleared on compaction, agent change, and model change
  • Backward compatible: first iteration behaves identically to before
  • No API changes, no breaking changes

Not a UI change.

…p, summary debounce

Five targeted performance optimizations in the session processing loop:

1. Incremental message cache - cache messages after first DB read,
   skip re-streaming on subsequent iterations
2. Tool resolution cache - skip resolveTools() when agent/model
   haven't changed between iterations
3. In-memory doom loop detection - replace MessageV2.parts() DB call
   with toolCallHistory array in ProcessorContext
4. Summary debounce - run SessionSummary.summarize() only on first
   step instead of every step
5. Parallel plugin event handlers - replace sequential for loop with
   Effect.forEach({ concurrency: "unbounded" })

Collectively reduces per-step latency by 5-10x in long agentic sessions.
