Summary

  • sessionStorage now subscribes to the existing onSessionSwitch signal and resets the cached session-file pointer when the active session actually changes.
  • Project.sessionFile is resolved once and cached for the life of the process. Every CLI path that changes the active session resets it by hand straight afterwards — sessionRestore.ts, /clear and print.ts all call resetSessionFilePointer right after switchSession, and its docstring says that is when to call it. The v2 SDK cannot: unstable_v2_createSession hands back a session object and the switch happens inside sendMessage, leaving an embedder no moment to hook. A second session created in one process therefore went on writing into the first session's file.

Impact

  • user-facing impact: data loss for v2 SDK embedders that create more than one session per process. Records carried their own sessionId, so nothing looked wrong until something tried to resume the newer session: resolveSessionFilePath found no file for it, the resume came back with zero prior messages, and the conversation was gone. Measured in an embedder: one project directory, one .jsonl, and inside it three sessions' records — 3979, 917 and 348 — while two of the three had no file of their own. An interrupt resumed the newest and silently started from nothing.
  • developer/maintainer impact: the listener is registered once, from getProject(), and uses the already-exported onSessionSwitch hook, so no new plumbing. It resets only on a real change, because v2 calls switchSession before every turn with the id it already has and resetting each time would drop buffered entries and re-resolve the same path for nothing. resetProjectForTesting re-reads the session the pointer belongs to, since the listener outlives the singleton it resets and cannot be unsubscribed from there. The CLI paths that already call resetSessionFilePointer keep working — the extra reset is a no-op once the pointer has moved.

Testing

  • I ran the required local preflight, with one documented exception below.

  • exact commands and results:

    • bun install --frozen-lockfile — ok
    • bun run lint:any-budget — ok (current=778, baseline=779)
    • bun run smoke — ok (CLI + SDK bundles, reports 0.31.0)
    • bun run deadcode — ok (knip: configuration hints only)
    • bun run typecheck — ok
    • bun run typecheck:type-tests — ok
    • node bin/openclaude --version — ok
    • NODE_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE=1 node bin/openclaude --version — ok
    • bun run test:provider — 1702 pass / 1 fail, identical to clean main 88a2286b down to the counts. The failure is pre-existing: Claude stream watchdog > falls back when the top-level stream iterator never settles.
    • npm run test:provider-recommendation — ok
    • git fetch https://github.com/Twigpine/openclaude.git main then bun run security:pr-scan -- --base FETCH_HEAD --head HEAD — ok
  • focused tests: bun test ./src/utils/sessionStorage.sessionSwitch.test.ts — 2 pass, 0 fail. The first test asserts a second session in one process writes to its own transcript; the second asserts that switching to the id already in use keeps the file it has. Negative control: with sessionStorage.ts reverted to main, the first test fails with the second session's transcript holding zero records, and the second still passes.

  • documented skipped checks, platform limitations, or verified pre-existing failures:

    bun run check could not be run to completion, and the cause is in main, not in this PR. Its test:full step stops making progress and spins a single core indefinitely. Two runs on a clean checkout of main at 88a2286b with no modifications were left for 4h30m and 2h53m (16512s and 14864s of CPU) and never finished. bun test --feature=UNATTENDED_RETRY --timeout 15000 over the whole suite also never finished and recorded zero timed-out tests, which is consistent with a synchronous spin reached only after state accumulates across test files rather than one slow test. Every segment of the suite passes on its own, and all segments together take about nine minutes, so the stalled runs consumed roughly 27x the suite's entire work without completing. I did not isolate the file: the stall occurs where bun test writes only to stdout, which is block-buffered when redirected, so the last visible output is unrelated to where execution stopped. Happy to open this as a separate issue with the measurements.

    The steps inside check that do finish — lint:any-budget, smoke, deadcode — were run individually and pass (above). The unit suite was covered by running it in segments and comparing failure sets against the base:

    tree unique failing tests
    clean main 88a2286b 104
    this branch 105

    The one extra entry is not caused by this change: GitHub 429 stops when every pooled credential is cooling down, in src/services/api/openaiShim/requestExecutor.test.ts, which this PR does not touch. It is flaky — running the src/services segment three times on clean main with no changes, it passed twice and failed on the third run; in isolation it passes 3/3. Every other failing test is identical to the base set.

    For context on the 104: they are dominated by environment-dependent tests rather than real breakage — CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR overrides, expandTilde on win32, fastMode gates, Anthropic attribution, and the four scripts/openclaude-bin-compile-cache.test.ts launcher failures. All of them reproduce on the clean base above. Unrelated, but worth flagging: some tests write into the real user config directory (~/.openclaude/backups/) instead of a temporary one.

Re-validated after rebasing onto main (2026-10-11)

Rebased onto 5ff58c4f; the three commits replayed with no conflicts and the
diff is unchanged — two files, +270, both under src/utils.

Re-run at the rebased head 094b9ea6: bun install, bun run build,
bun run smoke, bun run typecheck, bun run typecheck:type-tests — all ok;
bun test ./src/utils/sessionStorage.sessionSwitch.test.ts — 3 pass.

Segment comparison repeated for the directory this PR touches:

tree failing in bun test ./src/utils
clean base 31
this branch 29

No test fails on the branch that passes on the base. The two extra on the base
are this PR's own tests — the test file was present there against the
unmodified sessionStorage.ts, so they are red-first exactly as intended:
a second session in the same process writes to its own transcript and
the switch listener is re-registered after the signal is cleared.

bun run check still cannot complete, with the same signature as before: a
single bun process accumulated 2057s of CPU on one core and emitted no
output for 35 minutes of wall clock
before it was stopped. That matches the
block-buffered synchronous spin described above, and it reproduces on a clean
tree.

Notes

  • provider/model path tested: none — this is provider-independent session storage. The tests drive switchSession and recordTranscript directly, with no network and no provider key.

  • screenshots attached (if UI changed): n/a, no UI change.

  • follow-up work or known limitations: this fixes where records are written. It does not change resolveSessionFilePath's behaviour for transcripts already interleaved by the old code; such a file keeps every session's records, and only the session whose id the file is named for resolves to it.

    It also does not make OVERLAPPING turns safe, raised in review and confirmed: one process-wide Project caches sessionFile while session ids are context-scoped, so a turn still in flight in another context can append through a pointer the newer session resolved. Before this change the pointer never moved at all, which is the bug fixed here and loses a whole transcript; after it, the remaining exposure is interleaving between concurrent v2 sessions. Making Project's transcript state context-scoped is the real fix and belongs in its own PR with its own concurrency tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Transcript records now remain associated with the correct session when switching between sessions, preventing entries from appearing in another session’s transcript.
    • Switching back to the same session preserves its existing transcript, so previously recorded entries remain available.
    • New transcript entries are saved to the active session’s transcript after a session switch, keeping records separated across sessions.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 094b9

The change corrects transcript routing for sequential conversations, but switching destinations leaves conversation metadata shared and discards uncommitted records. This can copy an earlier conversation’s prompt into a later transcript and weaken recovery guarantees.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Automatic destination switching retains metadata belonging to the previous session. After session A records a user prompt, switching to B resets only the file pointer and buffer. B’s first materialization re-appends A’s cached last prompt under B’s session ID before B updates that cache. Cached title, tag, and other state can similarly carry over when the destination has no replacement value. This introduces prior-session data into the newly routed transcript; exposure to a different reader depends on the embedder’s session-access model.
  • Medium · reliability · observed: A different-ID notification synchronously clears unmaterialized records without committing or retaining them for their owner. Buffered hook, attribution, or file-history entries can therefore disappear when switching away, and returning to that session cannot recover the discarded buffer. This affects persistence ownership and recovery information. The clearing primitive predates the PR, but automatic SDK activation is new; draining queued file writes does not preserve this separate buffer.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The supported exposure is between conversations sharing one process and its transcript storage. A newly routed transcript can inherit another conversation’s cached prompt or metadata. Separate tenant access, cross-service acceptance, and privilege escalation are not established by the inspected source.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A conversation populates the shared last-prompt cache; a different conversation switches the destination and materializes its transcript; metadata re-append writes the earlier prompt under the later identity. A reader able to retrieve that later transcript may consequently receive prior-conversation information. Empty destination metadata does not clear the cache, and record-level session-ID checks do not detect this copying.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Captured file-path queues preserve already-enqueued write destinations. Remote appends additionally require an existing session token and use per-session sequencing and Last-Uuid conflict handling. These controls order transmission; they do not establish ownership of the shared metadata or pre-materialization buffer.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — SDK sendMessage finalization clears notification queues, and close interrupts execution and releases engine references. Those inspected blocks do not themselves await transcript flushing. Complete engine-level cleanup ordering remains unresolved, so interruption cannot be assumed to make the subsequent pointer reset safe for buffered records.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make the destination, cached metadata, and pending records one session-owned unit keyed by session identity and resolved transcript location. Preserve each entry’s owner through materialization, and define commit or discard behavior explicitly for switches and interrupted turns.

Isolate transcript state per SDK context.

sendMessage() runs in an AsyncLocalStorage context, but getProject() returns one process-wide Project. When session B calls switchSession(), the global signal clears that singleton's sessionFile. If B then resolves its file while session A is still processing, A's later recordTranscript() still reads session A from its context but Project.appendEntry() uses B's cached file. Records can therefore be written to the wrong session file, and resuming a session can miss those records.

Make the Project transcript state context-scoped, including sessionFile and pendingEntries. The single process-wide pointerSessionId listener cannot provide isolation for overlapping SDK turns.

Thanks — I checked the mechanism and the finding is correct, so let me be precise about what it does and does not mean for this PR.

appendEntry compares its sessionId argument against getSessionId(). When they differ it resolves the file per session via getExistingSessionFile(sessionId), which is safe. But getSessionId() is context-scoped, so inside session A's context it returns A, isCurrentSession is true, and the append goes to this.sessionFile — which, with overlapping turns, can be the file session B resolved. That is the hazard described, and it is real.

What it is not is something this PR introduces. The hazard comes from one process-wide Project holding a cached sessionFile while session ids are context-scoped:

  • before this change the pointer was resolved once and never moved, so it was correct for the first session and wrong for every later one — which is the bug being fixed, and it loses the whole transcript rather than interleaving it;
  • after this change it follows the active session, so it is correct for the session that switched most recently and can be wrong for a turn still in flight in another context.

So the change fixes the sequential case, which is broken today in a way that silently empties a resumed conversation, and it does not claim to make overlapping turns safe. Context-scoping Project's transcript state — sessionFile and pendingEntries both, as you say — is a larger change to a singleton that a lot of call sites reach through, and it deserves its own PR with its own concurrency tests rather than being folded in here. I would rather not widen this one to a refactor of Project; happy to open an issue for it, or to take it on separately if a maintainer prefers that order.

I have added this to the PR's known limitations so it is not lost.

One note on the suggested direction, in case it saves someone time later: resetSessionFile() clears pendingEntries as well as the path, and simply preserving that buffer across a switch would be worse, not better — those entries belong to the session that buffered them, so carrying them forward would flush them into the next session's file. Doing this properly means flushing them to their own session on the way out, which is another reason it is not a small edit.

The trivial comment on the test is applied in 9413d0c: the first session's own records are now asserted, not just the absence of the second session's.

Verified on head 9413d0c. I ran the focused test file (2 pass) and the negative control against main's sessionStorage.ts (the first test fails, the second session's transcript is empty), so the test is red-first.

The mechanism is correct:

  • switchSession writes state before emitting (src/bootstrap/state.ts:541-554), so the listener re-resolves against the new id.
  • v2 calls switchSession with the id it already has before every turn (src/entrypoints/sdk/v2.ts:365). The same-id guard is what keeps those turns from dropping buffered entries.
  • regenerateSessionId() does not emit the signal, but its call sites are covered: the clear path resets the pointer explicitly (src/commands/clear/conversation.ts:220), and the query path calls switchSession immediately after (src/entrypoints/sdk/query.ts:674-678), which the listener follows.
  • Dropping pendingEntries on a real switch matches what resetSessionFilePointer already did on the CLI paths (src/utils/sessionStorage.ts:2217), so no behavior change there.

Of CodeRabbit's two comments: the retention assertion it asked for is in this head, and the major one is the overlapping-turn hazard the Notes already scope out (pre-existing: one process-wide Project with context-scoped session ids).

One robustness gap in the test wiring:

sessionSwitchRegistered is set once and never cleared, but resetStateForTests() clears the signal's listeners (src/bootstrap/state.ts:1044). Test files share one bun process, so any test that creates the Project singleton and later calls resetStateForTests() leaves this module believing it is registered while its listener is gone. Pointer-following then silently stops, and the sessionSwitch tests will fail confusingly in a full-suite run. resetProjectForTesting() re-reads pointerSessionId but cannot revive the listener. onSessionSwitch returns an unsubscribe function: resetProjectForTesting() could call it, clear the flag, and let the next getProject() re-register. A stale unsubscribe on a cleared signal is a no-op, so that also heals the resetStateForTests() case.

Thank you for verifying it to that depth — the regenerateSessionId() call sites and the resetSessionFilePointer precedent for dropping pendingEntries are both things I had not traced, and they are the two places this could have been wrong.

The robustness gap is real and fixed in 262d801, the way you described: onSessionSwitch's return value is kept, resetProjectForTesting() calls it and forgets it, and the next getProject() registers afresh. You are right that this also covers resetStateForTests() — a stale unsubscribe against a cleared signal is a no-op.

I added a test for that order rather than only the fix, since the failure it prevents appears in a full-suite run and nowhere else: create the Project, clear the signal under NODE_ENV=test as another file would, let this file's own setup run again, then check a second session still writes to its own transcript. Neutralising the unsubscribe makes it the only failing test in the file; with it, three pass.

Preflight re-run at this head: lint:any-budget, smoke, deadcode, both typechecks, the launcher in both modes, test:provider-recommendation and security:pr-scan all pass. test:provider is 1702 pass / 1 fail with the pre-existing Claude stream watchdog failure, identical to clean main. bun run check still cannot finish here for the reason in the PR body.

One thing I should flag myself: CI has not run on this PR at all — only CodeRabbit has reported. #2252 got the full matrix, so I assume this one is waiting on a maintainer to approve workflows for a fork. Happy to do anything that helps there.

Project.sessionFile is resolved once and cached for the life of the
process. Every CLI path that changes the active session resets it by
hand straight afterwards - sessionRestore.ts, /clear and print.ts all
call resetSessionFilePointer right after switchSession, and its own
docstring says that is when to call it.

The v2 SDK cannot: unstable_v2_createSession hands back a session object
and the switch happens inside sendMessage, leaving the embedder no moment
to hook. So a second session created in one process went on writing into
the FIRST session's file. Its records carried their own sessionId, so
nothing looked wrong until something tried to resume it -
resolveSessionFilePath found no file, the resume came back with zero
prior messages, and the conversation was gone.

Measured in an embedder: one project directory, one .jsonl, and inside it
three sessions' records - 3979, 917 and 348 - while two of the three had
no file of their own. An interrupt resumed the newest and silently
started from nothing.

Subscribing to the existing onSessionSwitch signal resets the pointer
only on a real change, because v2 calls switchSession before every turn
with the id it already has and resetting each time would drop buffered
entries and re-resolve the same path for nothing.

Review follow-up. The test showed that the second session's records do not
leak into the first session's file, but not that the first session still
holds its own - so a change that dropped them both would have passed.

Review follow-up. resetStateForTests() calls sessionSwitched.clear(),
which drops every listener at once. Remembering only "I am subscribed"
left this module believing it still followed switches while its listener
was gone, and since test files share one bun process that silently
stopped pointer-following for every test afterwards - failing the switch
tests in a full-suite run and nowhere else.

onSessionSwitch returns an unsubscribe function, so resetProjectForTesting
now gives the subscription up and forgets it, and the next getProject()
registers afresh. A stale unsubscribe against an already-cleared signal is
a no-op, which heals the resetStateForTests() case as well as its own.

The added test reproduces that order: create the Project, clear the
signal, let the file's own setup run again, then check a second session
still gets its own transcript. With the unsubscribe neutralised it is the
only test that fails.

Rebased onto current main (5ff58c4f) and re-validated at the new head; the
three commits replayed with no conflicts and the diff is unchanged. Details and
the repeated segment comparison are in the PR description — no test fails on
the branch that passes on the base.

The remaining finding from the review — context-scoping Project's transcript
state so overlapping SDK turns cannot append through each other's pointer — is
now tracked separately in #2267, with the mechanism and the pendingEntries
subtlety written down. It is not addressed here on purpose: this PR fixes the
sequential case, which today silently empties a resumed conversation, and the
singleton refactor wants its own concurrency tests.

@coderabbitai review — the one open thread is against code that has since
changed, and the major finding has moved to #2267.

@kevincodex1 I’ll trigger a full review of the current PR head. The review will check the subscription lifecycle fix and treat the concurrency work tracked in #2267 as a separate follow-up.

Approval depends on the review finding no blocking issues. I have not approved the PR yet.

Restore the original session project directory.

If the active session has a non-null project directory before this test, switchSession(originalSessionId, null) changes its transcript path for later tests. Save getSessionProjectDir() in setup and pass the saved value during cleanup. As per path instructions, review tests for “isolation of global/env/config state.”

Cover pending entries across a same-ID switch.

The test flushes before the second switch, so it cannot detect a listener that calls resetSessionFile() on every switch and clears pending entries. Add a buffered non-user/non-assistant entry before the same-ID switch, then materialize the file and assert that the entry is present.

This is essential regression coverage for the changed session-routing behavior.

Invalidate the cached pointer when the project directory changes.

switchSession() updates the project directory even when the session ID stays the same. The session-storage listener checks only the ID, so a same-ID switch can retain Project.sessionFile from the old directory. The SDK query path can perform this switch without calling resetSessionFilePointer().

Track the project directory or resolved transcript path with pointerSessionId. Retain the pointer only when both values match. Preserve pending entries when handing off to a different directory; resetSessionFile() clears them.

Preserve buffered entries for the outgoing session before resetting the pointer.

recordAttributionSnapshot can run before the first user or assistant message. appendEntry then stores the snapshot in pendingEntries. A switch to a different session calls resetSessionFile(), which clears that buffer. If the original session later returns, its first user or assistant message materializes a file without the discarded entries.

Flush buffered entries to the outgoing session before clearing them, or retain buffers keyed by session. Do not carry them into the new session.
