Closes: #1792

Description

This PR adds scripts/check-run-state-kernel.ts. The script is a model checker for the pure nextRunState function in src/core/task/run-state/runState.ts. It does not share state with taskLifecycle.ts.

The checker runs a breadth-first search over all events. The bounds are depth 20, 20,000 states, 3 stream generations, and 3 ask timestamps. Because the search is breadth-first, each counterexample is a shortest one.

At each step the checker verifies these points:

  • The kernel result matches a copy of the Guard and Effect columns of the Transitions table in task-lifecycle-target-architecture.md. A rejection must leave the state unchanged.
  • The seven design-doc invariants hold.
  • The kernel does not change its state or its event.

After the search the checker requires these points:

  • Every action is reachable. A settle is askSettledStale only when a newer ask is pending.
  • Every guard clause is the only failing clause in some rejected event.
  • All 8 named witnesses are reached.
  • All 12 ordered pairs of event sources occur between events that change the state.
  • No unseen successor exists at the depth bound.

The checker also runs 31 known-unsafe kernels. Each one must fail for its own reason, and each caughtBy pattern matches only that reason. Two more self-tests show that a small depth bound and a small state budget each fail the checker.

The PR adds the checker as the ninth step of lifecycle:model-check. code-qa.yml already runs that command, so CI runs the checker on every PR. The PR also updates task-lifecycle-model.md (new section, Coverage audit row, "Extending the model") and task-lifecycle-target-architecture.md.

Reviewers must check these points:

  • The rows table in the script must match the Transitions table in the design doc. The checker compares the kernel with this copy, so an error in the copy hides a kernel error.
  • The witness checks and the source-pair rule have no negative self-test. Such a test needs a hook in Options that lets a test change the event list. A follow-up issue can cover this.

Test Procedure

  1. Run pnpm exec tsx scripts/check-run-state-kernel.ts from the repository root.
  2. Make sure the output ends with Run-state kernel model check passed: 16125 reachable states ... 33 unsafe kernels caught, fixed point at depth 15 (bound 20).
  3. Run the same command from another directory. The result is the same.
  4. Change failedClauses.length === 1 to >= 1 in the script. The run fails with unsafe kernel not caught as expected: stream-start-guard-dropped.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Expanded lifecycle model-check coverage to include run-state behavior, checking transitions, invariants, event handling, and representative unsafe scenarios.
    • The lifecycle check command now runs nine checks, including the new run-state coverage, with bounded exploration of reachable states.
  • Documentation
    • Updated architecture and extension guidance to describe the run-state checker’s scope, validation expectations, known limits, and relationship to the cleanup protocol model.

The lifecycle model-check suite now runs a bounded checker for the in-memory run-state kernel. The checker compares transitions with a reference table, validates state and transition invariants, explores reachable states, and tests unsafe variants. Architecture documentation describes the checker’s scope and requirements.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1792 requires an additive kernel checker with the suite contract. The PR adds scripts/check-run-state-kernel.ts and registers it as the ninth command in pnpm lifecycle:model-check. The checker explores production nextRunState with declared depth, state, generation, and ask bounds. It checks design-doc guards and effects, seven invariants, state and event immutability, rejection immutability, shortest BFS traces, event and guard reachability, named witnesses, all 12 ordered non-self source pairs, and unseen successors. It includes the stale askSettled action, turn-event coverage, known-unsafe kernels, and depth and state-budget self-tests. The failure-cleanup witness requires a recorded streaming_failed reason before a new stream. The architecture documentation records the cleanup-model boundary mapping and the checker limits.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed files add the issue-specific kernel checker, integrate it into lifecycle:model-check, and update the two lifecycle architecture documents. The checker support cases and documentation describe or validate the required kernel contract. No unrelated production behavior or unrelated feature appears in the reviewed changes.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

No changed path meets the security failure conditions. scripts/check-run-state-kernel.ts:55,238-240 reads only the fixed production source path, and scripts/check-run-state-kernel.ts:315-355 generates bounded synthetic events and identifiers. The script has no argv, environment, network, dynamic execution, or user-data path. package.json only adds this fixed checker to the existing model-check command. No secret/PII leak, unvalidated input execution, or approval/allowlist bypass is introduced.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

No changed persistence path exists. The PR adds an in-memory nextRunState model checker, documentation, and a package script entry. The checker only uses readFileSync to inspect the kernel source and has no persistence writes, rollback paths, or persisted defaults. The updated documentation explicitly excludes persistence from this submodel.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

No changed lifecycle path can leak a resource or duplicate work. The PR adds documentation, a sequential package-script invocation, and a checker that reads source text, uses cloned in-memory states, and calls the pure nextRunState function. The checker contains no listener, watcher, provider, timer, task, subscription, or cancellation-side-effect API. The production runState.ts lifecycle implementation is unchanged.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The checker adds concrete witness and source-interleaving failure contracts at runModelCheck lines 603-612, but it has no focused negative coverage for them. Options only exposes step, useTable, and bounds; eventsFor is fixed. The 33 unsafe-kernel and bound tests alter kernel behavior or limits, and none removes a witness or source pair and expects the corresponding error. The architecture row also records that these checks have no self-test.

Resolution

Add an event-generation seam or equivalent focused hooks. Add unsafe variants that remove each required witness and source interleaving, then assert runModelCheck reports the matching missing-witness or missing-interleaving error.

Remove the turn model from the run-state kernel checker. The kernel has no turn events.

rows and eventTags include seven turn tags, but nextRunState has no turn cases and no default. The parity assertion reports these tags as missing from the kernel and throws. checkTurnRegion() also throws, because nextRunState returns undefined for turn events. pnpm lifecycle:model-check therefore fails before it can pass the full contract.

Filtering eventTags and removing the checkTurnRegion() call is not enough. The turn-start-clears-first-chunk-wait unsafe kernel is applied only to turnStarted events. After the call is removed, no check applies it, so runUnsafeKernels() fails. The stream-start-resets-turn kernel writes a turn field that only the flatten() spread reads, so it must also be removed.

Remove every turn reference from the checker:

Update the design-document prose in docs/architecture/task-lifecycle-model.md to match:

  • Line 274: remove "except the seven turn events".
  • Line 282: delete the bullet that describes the seven turn events and the five turn fields.
  • Line 289: change the hard-coded unsafe-kernel count to the new total.

Add turn modeling back only with the kernel turn-state work. The kernel has no turn state yet.

@coderabbitai Thank you for the review.

Major: remove the turn model. This finding does not apply after a rebase. The reviewed head is based on 13cb03a16, and nextRunState there has no turn cases. main (16fced147, #2198) added the seven turn events to nextRunState. CI tests the merge of this branch with main. The turn rows in the checker are necessary there. Without them, the event-tag check fails. I will rebase this branch onto main. After the rebase, the kernel and the checker table have the same event tags.

Minor: stream-after-failure-cleanup witness. The finding is valid. The next push records the streaming_failed reason of the ended stream in ModelState. The witness then requires that recorded failure.

Tip

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

@edelauna Thank you for the clarification.

  • Turn model: I withdraw the recommendation to remove it. The supplied architecture guidance also includes the seven turn events. Keep those rows. After the rebase, run pnpm lifecycle:model-check to verify that the checker and production kernel have matching event tags.
  • stream-after-failure-cleanup: The planned change addresses the concern by tying the witness to the ended stream’s recorded streaming_failed reason. This finding remains open until the change is pushed and verified.

Transition notes:

4. `streamCleanupFinished` needs only a live stream. It covers both the abort drain and the failure cleanup (flows 7, 8). The field lives on the live stream, so the next stream starts with it false (PR-2).

Each region is a discriminated union, so an illegal value inside a region is unrepresentable. The bounded checker proves the constraints across regions as invariants. The design comes from the traced runtime flows below, not from the flag declarations.

## Task Lifecycle Changes
- The in-memory run-state submodel lives in `src/core/task/run-state/runState.ts`. It is a pure `nextRunState(state, event)` kernel, separate from the persisted reducers. Read `docs/architecture/task-lifecycle-target-architecture.md` before changing it.

Source excerpt:
# Task lifecycle target architecture

## Proposed design: target-state architecture

### The run-state kernel

#### Transitions

Each event has a guard and an effect. If the guard fails, the event returns `rejected` with the state unchanged. An effect changes only the fields it names.

Track the stream failure per stream in the checker.

latches.reason is first-writer-wins and is never cleared. After one streaming_failed write, every later cleaned stream end sets lastEndedStreamFailedAndCleaned (lines 442-445). The stream-after-failure-cleanup witness (lines 264-270) then matches a stream start after a clean stream that did not fail. For example: start, reasonSet("streaming_failed"), cleanup, end, start, cleanup, end, start. The third start matches the witness. The landmark is still reached by the second start, so the coverage is preserved. The witness no longer matches its name.

Resetting the flag only on streamStarted does not fix this. streamEnded recomputes the flag from the same run-level reason. Clearing latches.reason in the kernel would change abortReason and the transition table, so keep the signal in the checker's ModelState. Record a failure only when reasonSet("streaming_failed") is accepted while a stream is live, and clear it when that stream ends.

Suggested fix
 interface ModelState {
 	run: RunState
 	askCount: number
 	completionAsks: number[]
 	lastEndedStreamFailedAndCleaned: boolean
+	currentStreamFailed: boolean
 }
 function initialState(): ModelState {
 	return {
 		run: structuredClone(initialRunState),
 		askCount: 0,
 		completionAsks: [],
 		lastEndedStreamFailedAndCleaned: false,
+		currentStreamFailed: false,
 	}
 }
 	if (event.tag === "streamEnded" && state.run.stream.tag === "live") {
 		next.lastEndedStreamFailedAndCleaned =
-			state.run.stream.cleanupFinished && state.run.latches.reason === "streaming_failed"
+			state.run.stream.cleanupFinished && state.currentStreamFailed
+		next.currentStreamFailed = false
 	}
+	if (event.tag === "reasonSet" && event.reason === "streaming_failed" && state.run.stream.tag === "live") {
+		next.currentStreamFailed = true
+	}

The new field changes the reachable state space. Rerun pnpm lifecycle:model-check and confirm the state count and the 20,000-state budget.
