Summary

Fixes #5958. The three surfaces each expose a partial slice of a Session transcript: the Desktop export renders only what the viewport has loaded (long sessions truncate silently), the TUI copy is clipboard-bound, and the bundle exporter writes a machine-oriented archive. This adds the missing read-side path: persistence to one complete, human-readable Markdown file.

maka session-export-markdown --workspace-root <dir> --session <id> --out <file.md> [--include-thinking]

It reads every stored row through the session store's snapshot reader and renders the Desktop export's shape (## You / ### Tool calls / ## Maka) with the differences the issue asks for:

• tool results are included (each call carries its result), since they are exactly what a debugging reader needs; every string that reaches the file passes redactSecrets;
• thinking stays out by default, following the @kenji precedent recorded on the Desktop export, with --include-thinking as the explicit opt-in;
• operational rows stay out (token usage, turn state, permission decisions, system notes, coordination) — they are not something anyone said.

No wire, protocol, or storage-schema change. On the issue's open questions: the thinking/tool-result boundary above is my proposed default and is easy to flip; formatter ownership is deliberately untouched — the Desktop renderer stays where it is, and converging the two implementations into a shared package can follow once that question is decided.

Verification

Check	Result
packages/runtime new suite (session-transcript-export.test.ts, 6 tests: full fidelity, redaction, thinking flag, operational rows, structured failures, pure renderer)	6/6 pass (red before the implementation)
packages/cli new suite (session-export-markdown-command.test.ts, 4 tests: happy path, never-overwrite, missing session exit 2, missing args exit 1)	4/4 pass
Adjacent session-export.test.ts	25/25 pass
Steering between tool calls (review P2, new core renderer test)	8/8 pass after the fix; 7/8 before (the new case was red)
biome check on all touched files	clean
npm run check:asf-headers	clean
tsc -b runtime / tsc --noEmit cli	clean; cli reports one pre-existing @maka/eval TS2307 on this machine (module dist not built locally), reproducible on main without this change

Not run locally: the full packages/cli test suite has three compiled* tests that depend on a built launcher; they fail identically on main without this change (verified by stashing) and are exercised by CI on the PR head.

AI use

Implemented with GLM-5.3-Flash (ZCode). The review-P2 fix at d927b8398 was produced with DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash). Human-reviewed.

At a8affc4e2feccfa97504696b1bd3e99dd3be5de9, I found four reproducible P2 issues in the new Markdown export. The command adds a separate Runtime reader and formatter, includes tool results, and makes thinking opt-in; it does not change the existing Desktop exporter. There were no previous reviews to resolve.

• [P2] Read the current transcript authority — packages/runtime/src/session-transcript-export.ts:83. This reads legacy session_messages, whereas current conversations are projected from runtime_events. In real execution stores, a completed invocation projected five persisted messages, but this exporter returned success with messageCount: 0 and only a title/timestamp. The existing host transcript reader already reads the event ledger. This is not an unflushed or partially completed turn.
• [P2] Enforce no-overwrite at publication — packages/cli/src/session-export-markdown-command.ts:91. An output created after the existence check was truncated and the command returned 0. An existing dangling symlink also passed the check and caused its target to be created. The initial check does not replace exclusive creation or atomic no-replace publication.
• [P2] Redact every rendered tool-result branch — packages/runtime/src/session-transcript-export.ts:216,220. A terminal command is inserted into its label without redaction, and valid shell_run results use the unredacted JSON fallback. Recognizable fixture credentials survived both paths, while terminal output was correctly redacted. File-path labels need the same treatment. This finding concerns tool results, not the existing Desktop choice to preserve user-authored text.
• [P2] Preserve mid-turn user messages — packages/runtime/src/session-transcript-export.ts:135. Selecting the first user row silently drops later steering messages in the same turn. Both a real ledger projection and valid persisted message rows reproduced this. Changing the storage reader alone would not fix the formatter.

Verification: Core, Storage, MCP, Runtime, Runtime Host, Eval, and CLI built successfully on Node 22.23.2. The six new Runtime tests, four new CLI tests, 25 adjacent bundle-export tests, and 107 CLI/read-model/host-transcript tests all passed: 142 tests, no skips. Scoped Biome and git diff --check passed. The additional probes used isolated SQLite stores and fabricated credentials; no actual user data or live provider was used. For the overwrite race, only the stat timing was controlled to create a second writer's file before the real export/write proceeded; the dangling-symlink reproduction required no interception.

Large sessions and fidelity limits: A synthetic legacy-table session with 1,200 turns/4,800 rows exported its first and last turns into 5,065,610 bytes in approximately 170 ms; observed RSS and heap-used increases during export were about 27.6 MiB and 23.7 MiB. This is a finite Linux sample, not an upper-bound guarantee: all source rows, grouping maps, output lines, and the final string are retained rather than streamed. Tool arguments and attachment details are not rendered, archived results remain placeholders, and grouping tools before all assistant text does not preserve within-turn chronology. Thinking is excluded by default and redacted when enabled; operational rows are omitted.

Compatibility and merge state: There is no protocol, epoch, or storage-schema change. At the same head, hosted checks showed 13 successes and one skipped installed-CLI Eval check; CI and CLI package validation passed. The branch merges without conflicts with main 66da38efd33475c979233c41bf98f9b8855a3dff; GitHub reports MERGEABLE/BLOCKED, so there is no source conflict, but that is not merge approval. The full monorepo suite, packaged CLI installation, macOS/Windows execution, and Desktop end-to-end tests were not rerun locally. The four correctness issues need addressing; the feature's default content policy and merge decision remain for the maintainers.

At 842f3dada065e87dafc6015d450fd6efe5cc0b75, three earlier P2 issues are fixed and the tool-result redaction issue is only partially fixed; the remaining gap is graded P3.

Earlier issue	Current result
Reading only legacy session_messages	Fixed: a real completed invocation projects and exports all five messages, including both answers and the steering input.
Overwriting a competing file or following a dangling symlink	Fixed: exclusive wx creation returns exit 5; the competing file survives and the symlink target is not created.
Unredacted structured results and labels	Partially fixed: terminal commands/output and the structured fallback are redacted, but file-result paths still bypass redaction.
Dropping mid-turn user messages	Fixed: both opening input and steering input appear in the output.

Remaining P3 — redact file-result paths too. In packages/runtime/src/session-transcript-export.ts:242–247, file_diff.paths is interpolated into the label and file_write.path into the body without redactSecrets. Valid results written through the real Session store still export the synthetic secret-shaped markers sk-path-fixture123 and sk-write-fixture123 unchanged, although redactSecrets replaces both and the diff-body control is redacted. Apply redaction to these branches as well, or centrally to every tool-result label/body, and add regression tests for both result types.

Severity note: this is graded P3 rather than P2 because it needs a secret-shaped string inside a file path. That is reproducible with a fixture, but far less likely in practice than the command and output credentials fixed in this revision. It is still worth closing for consistency.

No additional issue was established in the new reader/publication changes. The existing role-grouped output still does not preserve interleaved narration order; this is not a new finding. The Runtime Host protocol and storage schema are unchanged.

Dependency/CLI builds, related tests and the real-store/competition probes pass locally. Hosted checks are green except the skipped CLI Eval lane; GitHub reports mergeable. This does not establish a human merge decision. The full monorepo suite, Windows/macOS probes and installed-package execution were not rerun.

At fb90098aa6c9206e8f9fd537875cd696df47280f, the remaining P3 file-path redaction finding is fixed. The file_diff label and file_write destination now pass through redactSecrets (packages/runtime/src/session-transcript-export.ts:242–255). An independent real-Session-store probe confirms that both synthetic secret-shaped paths and the diff-body marker are absent from the export, while an ordinary filename and the write byte count survive. The same probe fails on the previous reviewed head 842f3dad and passes again after restoring this head.

The increment changes only those two rendering branches and their regression tests; no rebase or unrelated implementation change was introduced. The earlier ledger-reader, steering-message and exclusive-destination fixes are unchanged, and the complete transcript/Bundle-export and CLI Markdown-command suites pass all 40 tests, including existing-file and dangling-symlink refusal. No additional P0–P3 issue was established in this increment. The role-grouped output still has the previously documented chronology limitation; this revision does not claim to change it. User-authored text and Session titles retain their existing treatment.

I read the current diff and compared it with the prior reviewed head, checked all result branches and their added assertions, and rebuilt the Runtime, Runtime Host, Eval and CLI against this batch's fresh dependency installation and unchanged dependency inputs. Biome checks and git diff --check pass. Protocol epoch and storage schema are unchanged. GitHub reports this exact head mergeable, with successful test, audit, package/platform checks and a skipped CLI Eval lane; merge-tree against fetched main 16a8f5b8 is clean.

This validates persisted fixtures and the local command implementation, not a full-monorepo run, live provider execution, or independent Windows/macOS testing. Feature adoption and merge remain human decisions.

[ggbdpq]

Gentle ping — this one crossed the 3-day mark: checks green on fb90098aa, and the latest auto-review found no P0–P3 (the earlier P2s and the P3 file-path redaction were all fixed and confirmed). Happy to rebase on current main or answer anything that would speed up the review. cc @liugddx

[liugddx]

Reviewed exact head fb90098aa. The ledger reader, exclusive creation and result-branch redaction from earlier rounds hold up, and the runtime suite passes locally. Five things should change before this lands:

1. P2: the export is not read-only. createSessionStore() (session-transcript-export.ts:79) acquires the operational database in the default migrate mode. Pointed at an empty directory it creates runtime.sqlite, and against an older schema it would migrate a running Host's database. session-export uses require_current for exactly this reason; please open read-only with require_current.
2. P2: grouping by role inside a turn (:174-225) reorders events. A steering "STOP" prints before a tool call that actually preceded it, which misleads the debugging reader this command exists for. Please emit rows in stored order.
3. P2: tool output containing ``` closes the fence at :275 and corrupts the rest of the file. Size the fence from the longest backtick run in the body.
4. P2: this is a second copy of renderConversationMarkdown, and it has already diverged. It uses a different redactor (@maka/core/redaction versus Desktop's display redactor, so password: … is redacted here but not on Desktop), and the steering fix exists only in this copy. Moving the pure renderer into core with options is roughly 60 lines; I'd do it now rather than defer, since #5958 asks for the same redaction and the same shape. I've answered #5958's open questions on the issue.
5. P2: scale. The renderer retains every row and joins one string. 1,500 turns with 200 KB results took about 586 MB RSS, and past roughly 512M characters V8 throws Invalid string length. Please stream per turn to the file handle, or cap individual results, and include the long-session numbers #5958 promised.

Smaller items: --help exits 1; tool arguments are never rendered; subagent sessions are not included; and the operational-rows test passes even without the filter, because the literal token_usage can never appear in the output.

[ggbdpq]

All five P2s and the smaller items from your review of fb90098aa are addressed on the new head 0ee0c2b5a (six commits, CI queued):

Finding	Resolution
P2: export is not read-only	the store opens with require_current and fails closed with a new schema_unsupported reason — an uninitialized workspace and an older schema both refuse before anything is created or migrated (a306c1a95); regressions cover "no runtime.sqlite created" and "legacy schema not migrated"
P2: role grouping reordered events	rows emit in stored order inside a turn — a steering "STOP" now prints after the tool call it followed; regression pins the exact order
P2: ``` closes the fence	result fences are sized from the body's longest backtick run (min three); regression nests an embedded ```md block and asserts the structural fences survive
P2: second copy of renderConversationMarkdown	the renderer moved to core (packages/core/src/conversation-markdown.ts) with options for copy, tool results, thinking and the redactor; Desktop and the CLI both call it with the same redactor (core redactSecrets), per your answer on #5958. The Desktop renderer-architecture ledger records the dependency change
P2: scale	exportSessionTranscriptMarkdownToFile streams one chunk per turn straight to the file handle. Numbers on the new regression — 1,000 turns, ~48 MB of tool-result content: 50,111,824 bytes written in 0.4 s, +60 MB RSS (the rows themselves; the document is never materialized)
small: --help exits 1	usage now prints to stdout with exit 0
small: tool arguments never rendered	rendered (redacted, single line) on the tool row behind --include-tool-arguments... actually always on for the CLI export — the row carries args: {…}
small: subagent sessions not included	the file export lists sessions whose subagentParent points at the exported one and renders each under its own title, with a count in the summary line
small: operational-rows test passed without the filter	the test now pins the whole document byte-for-byte against a clean-session export, so any leak breaks it

One caveat to flag: streaming removes the duplicated document from memory, but the read side still materializes the session's rows before rendering — full O(1) memory would need read-model paging, which I kept out of this batch. CI is running on the new head.

[ggbdpq]

Follow-up: merged current main (6c63fa057) into the branch (1ab2ca482) — main's Astryx rebuild had moved the Desktop renderer to features/conversation/model/, so the core-delegating adapter now lives there; the architecture ledger is updated. All suites re-run green on the merged head.

Automated review notice: This comment was posted by an automated review agent. It is not an independent human review and does not replace one.

At 1ab2ca48286d4cd6bd3bacd41057d75531485542, three P2 issues remain: tool results are still moved ahead of intervening messages, reused tool-call IDs bind results to the wrong turn, and a short file write can silently produce an incomplete export. The read-only database requirement is also only partly satisfied (P3). Details and reproductions are attached inline.

The expansion from fb90098aa primarily addresses the previous requested changes, rather than adding another output format. Excluding changes brought in from main, the PR now changes 11 files (+1,984/−88), versus six files (+1,133/−0) at the previous head. It introduces the shared Core renderer, makes Desktop and Runtime use it, and adds the file-output path, tool arguments, direct subagent transcripts and successful help handling. A shared renderer and read-only opening were explicitly requested in the maintainer's answers.

Previous request	Current result
Never create or migrate the source database	require_current now prevents creation and schema migration, but the Session store still opens a writable SQLite connection; a schema-current DELETE-journal fixture is changed to WAL during export.
Preserve stored chronology	User and assistant messages are no longer collected by role, but tool results still render at their earlier call site, before intervening steering messages.
Prevent embedded backticks from closing multiline result fences	The fence is now longer than the longest backtick run in the body; the regression tests pass.
Use one renderer and redactor for Desktop and CLI	Both consumers now delegate to Core and use its redactor. The previous duplicate formatter is removed.
Avoid one giant output string and provide long-session measurements	The CLI writes emitted chunks directly to the file. The 1,000-turn test produced 50,111,824 bytes in approximately 2.6 seconds with a measured 75 MB RSS increase on Linux. All source rows and grouping/result maps remain resident, so this sample does not establish a whole-session memory bound. The new writer also needs to handle partial writes.

The earlier ledger-source, retained steering-message, secret-shaped file-path and exclusive-destination fixes still hold in persisted-fixture checks. Existing output files are preserved and dangling symlinks are refused. Thinking remains opt-in, operational rows stay excluded, and user-authored text and Session titles retain their existing treatment. Direct child subagent Sessions are included after the main transcript; this is not recursive export of all descendants.

Validation on this head: a clean dependency installation and normal root build succeeded; 11 complete test files passed all 300 tests with no skips. Core, Runtime, CLI and Desktop type checks, the Desktop production renderer build, strict renderer architecture checks, scoped Biome, git diff --check, and the protocol guard passed. The independent persisted-ledger and real-file probes reproduced the inline findings. The short-write test deliberately injected a successful partial write into a real file descriptor; it is an I/O fault model, not an observed disk incident. There were no live provider requests, full-monorepo tests, or independent Windows/macOS or native Electron runs.

The protocol epoch remains 220, with no protocol or storage-schema change. This head merges cleanly with fetched main 6c63fa057ed97916b77db3ff002a13636d6a564a; that synthetic merge was not separately built. At the final check, CI and dependency audit were queued. Three platform addon jobs had succeeded, but the Linux x64 job in CLI package validation was still queued. These are not completed validations. The previous changes-requested review remains on the old head and needs the reviewer's reconsideration after the remaining issues are addressed; this comment does not dismiss it or authorize merging.

At 1457334515c6386338bbbce026c31b4754e530a3, the three P2 findings and the P3 source-database finding from 1ab2ca48 are fixed. No additional P0–P3 issue was established in this increment.

• Stored chronology and repeated tool IDs: Core now renders each result at its own stored row instead of looking it up while rendering the call (packages/core/src/conversation-markdown.ts:166–184). Actual persisted Runtime events export the intervening steering message before the later result. Two independent turns reusing the same provider call ID retain both distinct results exactly once, in order.
• Complete file writes: The writer encodes a chunk as UTF-8 and drains the remaining bytes before reporting success (packages/runtime/src/session-transcript-export.ts:203–213). A real-descriptor fault-injection check that accepted only half of one chunk preserved all 20,644 output bytes, including multibyte text, after the retry. An injected I/O exception rejects the export and closes the descriptor. These are controlled I/O fault models, not observed disk incidents.
• Read-side source access: Both export paths select access: 'read' with require_current (packages/runtime/src/session-transcript-export.ts:89–92,163–166). The Storage connection enforces SQLite query_only, skips journal configuration, and uses a separate cached connection from writers (packages/storage/src/operational-state-store.ts:200–254). Successful string and file exports left an isolated current-schema DELETE-journal database byte-for-byte unchanged. A reader's SQL write was rejected, while a concurrently held writer remained usable after export. This is connection-level query-only enforcement, not an assertion that the database is opened with the operating system's read-only flag.

The independent probes reproduce all four previous failures when the three affected modules are loaded from exact old commit 1ab2ca48, and pass with this head. Other dependencies remain at the new head in that comparison; it is not a separate full build of the old commit. Existing secret-shaped file-path redaction, destination preservation and dangling-symlink refusal controls also pass.

This is one follow-up commit affecting five files (+119/−29), with no rebase or additional feature expansion. A fresh dependency installation and normal clean build succeeded. Eleven complete test files passed 302 tests, no skips; Core, Runtime, CLI and Desktop type checks, strict renderer architecture checks, scoped Biome, whitespace checks and the protocol guard passed. This does not cover a full-monorepo run, native Electron, independent Windows/macOS execution, or live providers. The previously documented whole-session source-row memory cost remains; this increment does not establish a total-memory upper bound.

Epoch 220 and the storage schema are unchanged. The head merges cleanly with fetched main 6c63fa057ed97916b77db3ff002a13636d6a564a; the synthetic merge was not separately built. At the final check, CI, audit, and the Linux x64 package job were still queued; three other platform addon jobs had succeeded. The earlier human changes-requested review remains on its old commit and needs the reviewer's reconsideration. This comment does not dismiss it or authorize merging.

[ggbdpq]

Batch follow-up on the test red that appeared at 145733451:

Guard failure (real, fixed in ebd03da96): local-persistence-dependencies — production Runtime and Host use persistence contracts — only started running because this PR's storage changes put the storage suite into CI's changed-file test plan; the guard then caught the exporter's own createSessionStore / openRuntimeEventReadPersistence construction that had sat in production runtime sources since the earlier heads. The exporter now receives two openers (SessionTranscriptExportSources) from its entry point, and the CLI command — the composition root for this surface — opens both read sources with the same require_current + access: 'read' options the exporter used to pass. No behavior change: same open options, same fall-back-to-legacy-rows policy, same schema_unsupported classification. Local: guard 2/2, transcript exporter 16/16, CLI command 6/6, biome + ASF headers clean.

Race failure (pre-existing flake, not from this branch): allows concurrent operational owners to initialize the same fresh WAL database tripped once under full-suite parallel load. The write-open path is byte-identical to the previous head — whose CI run passed the same suite — the failing operational_open_only worker never touches the new read path, and the test passes 5/5 rounds locally. We read it as a load-sensitive race in the multi-process fixture; if it reproduces on this run we'll dig in properly.

The four review threads above are addressed at 145733451 and resolved with per-thread evidence. Fresh CI is running on ebd03da96. @liugddx this is ready for another look whenever you get to it.

Incremental review from 14573345 to ebd03da9620a2b2e058ae8de5c94550ac4e0a1d9. The one new commit, ebd03da9, satisfies the storage dependency guard. The exporter no longer constructs createSessionStore/openRuntimeEventReadPersistence itself. Instead it receives SessionTranscriptExportSources openers, and the CLI command, as the composition root, supplies them.

I checked that behavior is unchanged:

• The CLI opener passes the same { schemaMigration: 'require_current', access: 'read' } options the exporter used before, so the read-only and no-migration guarantees from the previous round still hold.
• OperationalStateMigrationBlockedError thrown by the opener is still caught at both call sites and mapped to schema_unsupported.
• readSessionMessages still falls back to legacy rows when the ledger open fails or projects zero messages, and it now awaits the ledger's close() in finally.
• The as unknown as RuntimeEventStore cast moved from the exporter into the composition root unchanged.

Every existing test now supplies the same openers, including the read-only, journal-mode, schema-blocked and 1,000-turn memory tests. I found no P0–P3 issue in this increment. CI on this exact head passed, and the branch merges cleanly with main.

[liugddx]

Re-reviewed exact head ebd03da96. The five P2s from my last review are resolved: the read-only open (require_current plus query_only, so no runtime.sqlite on an empty workspace), rows in stored order, backtick-sized fences, the single core renderer, and streamed file writes. I reproduced the 1,000-turn numbers locally (50.1 MB, +49 MB RSS). Two things still need a change before merge:

1. The shared renderer regresses the Desktop clipboard export. flushAssistant() resets inToolRun, and every tool_call calls it first (conversation-markdown.ts:123,147), so each call gets its own ### Tool calls heading. Rows also lost their - list marker, and the exported-at line lost its italics. The <redacted> → [redacted] switch is the intended #5958 alignment, but it needs a Desktop test pinning the new output and a CHANGELOG line.
2. A failure after openSync(..., 'wx') leaves a partial file (for example, listHeaders throwing, or ENOSPC). That file then blocks a retry with destination_exists. Please unlink on failure, and have the CLI map the error to a clean exit.

Smaller items: subagent titles are emitted twice; grandchildren are silently skipped; tool arguments are always on and never truncated; and the scale test still passes when streaming is replaced by a joined string, so it doesn't guard the property it names.

[ggbdpq]

All six findings are addressed — ca8f80fca (shared renderer + Desktop + CHANGELOG), 1e8170679 (CLI exit), 1ac5fd34a (runtime exporter).

1. The shared renderer regressed the Desktop clipboard export — fixed in ca8f80f.

• Root cause: flushAssistant() reset inToolRun before its empty check, so every tool_call reopened a ### Tool calls section. Only an emitted answer breaks a run now, so consecutive calls (and their results) share one section.
• Tool rows carry their - list marker again, and the Desktop adapter sets its exported-at line in italics (*…*) — the pre-shared-renderer clipboard shape, restored on the one shared path.
• The <redacted> → [redacted] switch stays as the intended feat: full-fidelity session transcript export from persistence (Markdown) #5958 alignment.
• Pinned by apps/desktop/src/main/__tests__/conversation-markdown.test.ts → "keeps the clipboard shape: italic exported line, bulleted rows, one tool-call block, [redacted] secrets". Red evidence on the old head: 由 Maka 于 … 导出。 without italics, two ### 工具调用 headings for two consecutive calls, rows without - — the assertion failed with that exact document. Green now (Desktop 2/2, core renderer 7/7).
• CHANGELOG: added a ### Fixed line under 0.2.1 covering the shape restoration and the [redacted] placeholder.

2. A failure after openSync(..., 'wx') left a partial file — fixed in 1ac5fd3 (exporter) and 1e81706 (CLI).

• The exporter's finally unlinks the destination when the export did not complete, closing the handle first (an open handle blocks removal on Windows) and keeping the unlink best-effort so the original failure is the one reported. A retry is no longer blocked by destination_exists.
• Pinned by packages/runtime/src/__tests__/session-transcript-export.test.ts → "a failure mid-stream removes the partial file so the retry is not blocked": it injects a listHeaders that throws after the main session has been streamed, asserts the rejection, asserts the file is gone, then retries the same path successfully. Red before the fix: the partial file survived the rejection.
• The CLI maps an export error with no structured reason (e.g. ENOENT on the destination open) to exit 1 with the message on stderr instead of an unhandled rejection. Pinned by packages/cli/src/__tests__/session-export-markdown-command.test.ts → "maps an export failure with no structured reason to a clean exit 1"; red before: the rejection escaped runMakaSessionExportMarkdownCli.

Smaller items

• Subagent titles emitted twice — fixed in 1ac5fd3: the manual title emit ahead of the renderer's own document head is gone. Pinned by "file export streams the string form and appends subagent sessions", which now asserts # Scout appears exactly once (was 2).
• Grandchildren silently skipped — fixed in 1ac5fd3: a breadth-first walk over subagentParent edges exports every descendant, shallowest first, and subagentSessions counts the whole tree. Pinned by "file export carries grandchildren under the subagent story" — red before: a persisted grandchild yielded subagentSessions: 1 and its rows never reached the file.
• Tool arguments always on and never truncated — two halves. The declared-but-ignored includeToolArguments option was a real bug; it now passes through (renderSessionTranscriptMarkdown), pinned by "the string renderer honors includeToolArguments". I kept the CLI file export's arguments on and untruncated on purpose: it is the debugging export of the whole transcript, where the arguments are part of the story — a silent cap would hide data the reader asked for, and everything model-produced still passes the redactor. Happy to add a --no-tool-arguments flag or a cap if you want one.
• The scale test doesn't guard streaming — addressed in 1ac5fd3 with "chunks reach the file while the export is still running": it holds listHeaders open past the main render and asserts bytes are already on disk while the export promise is still pending, so a joined-string implementation (which writes nothing until the whole document exists) fails there. The 1,000-turn numbers still hold after the changes (50.1 MB, +47 MB RSS locally).

Verification on the pushed head: core renderer 7/7, Desktop clipboard tests 2/2, runtime transcript-export suite 19/19 (incl. the 1,000-turn run), CLI command suite 7/7; check:asf-headers and check:locale-hygiene pass; biome format clean on the touched files.

[ggbdpq]

CI triage for the red test job on head 1ac5fd3: the single failure is packages/cli/src/__tests__/acp-artifact-memory-child-process.test.ts:220 — "official ACP SDK exports and deletes a multipart Artifact through the real Host" — which died with ACP client operation timed out after 15000ms after an artifact.ingest operation_conflict. It is unrelated to this PR's diff (conversation renderer, transcript export, CLI command): locally on the exact pushed head the test passes in isolation (2.2s) and with its full file (6/6), which matches the known spawn-under-parallel-load flakiness of the real-Host child-process suites. Every other suite in the job reports fail 0, and the same workflow was green on the previous head ebd03da. I cannot rerun the job (needs admin on this repo) — a maintainer rerun of the failed job should confirm.

Incremental review from 1457334515c6386338bbbce026c31b4754e530a3 to 1ac5fd34afb64865e4e6324c3e8a93c53b1a2c53. This adds four commits on the same merge-base (6c63fa05), with no rebase: ebd03da96, ca8f80fca, 1e8170679 and 1ac5fd34a (8 files, +491/−68). Our previous round left no open findings. This round checks the fixes for the changes-requested review on ebd03da9. One new P2 regression and one P3 were found.

Items from the ebd03da9 changes-requested review

• Desktop clipboard shape: fixed, but it introduced a regression (P2 below). Rows have their - marker again, consecutive calls share one ### Tool calls block, and the exported-at line is italic again. The per-turn --- separator is kept. There is a Desktop test that pins this shape, and a CHANGELOG line documents the change to [redacted].
• Partial file after openSync(..., 'wx'): fixed. finally now closes the file and then unlinks it unless the export completed. In an independent probe with an injected listHeaders throw, the export rejected and left no file. An EEXIST failure never sets handle, so an existing file is never removed. The CLI now catches errors that have no structured reason, prints them to stderr and exits with 1.
• Duplicate subagent title: fixed. Each child heading appears once. The boundary between documents is clean.
• Grandchildren skipped: fixed. All descendants are exported, and subagentSessions counts the whole tree. The ordering claim is wrong, though (P3 below).
• includeToolArguments ignored: fixed in renderSessionTranscriptMarkdown. The CLI file export still includes tool arguments in full on purpose; the author offered to add a flag or a cap. That decision belongs to the human reviewer.
• The scale test did not guard streaming: fixed. The new gated-listHeaders test checks for bytes on disk while the export is still pending.
• ebd03da96 (storage openers injected by composition) keeps the same require_current + access: 'read' options and the schema_unsupported mapping. It clears the storage dependency guard.

P2: a steering message no longer closes a tool-call run (packages/core/src/conversation-markdown.ts:145–149, introduced by ca8f80fca). The fix moved inToolRun = false below flushAssistant()'s early return. The user branch resets the run only through flushAssistant(), so a user/steering message that interrupts a tool run leaves inToolRun true. The next tool call or result then prints as a bullet directly under the steering message's ## You heading, with no ### Tool calls heading. That attributes the model's call to the user section. Probe input: user, tool_call read_file, steering user message, tool_call list_dir, assistant. On this head the output is ## You\n\nSTEERING…\n\n- \list_dir` — list tests. On 1457334, the same input put a ### Tool callsheading beforelist_dir. This affects both the CLI transcript and the Desktop clipboard export. Fix: set inToolRun = false` in the user branch, and add a test with a steering message between calls (or between a call and its result).

P3: subagent order is not "shallowest first" (packages/runtime/src/session-transcript-export.ts:270–281). The walk checks exportedIds.has(parentId) against the set while it is still being filled in the current pass. A grandchild that sorts after its parent in listHeaders() (sorted by id) is therefore exported in the same pass, ahead of later direct children. A grandchild that sorts before its parent lands one level later. The probe with headers [A, G(parent A), B] produced Main > ChildA > GrandG > ChildB. All sessions are included, so no content is lost. However, the order depends on how ids sort, and it contradicts the comment and commit message. All descendants also use the same # name heading, so the export does not show which session spawned which. Either check against the previous frontier for a real breadth-first order (or choose depth-first on purpose), and consider showing the parent in each subagent heading.

Validation on this head: a fresh npm ci --ignore-scripts plus dependency patches, and a full root build, succeeded. The Runtime transcript-export suite passed 20/20. The CLI command suite plus acp-artifact-memory-child-process passed 13/13. The Core renderer passed 7/7 and the Desktop conversation-markdown tests passed 2/2, with no skips. Biome on the touched files and git diff --check passed. This was not a full-monorepo run and included no Windows/macOS or native Electron runs.

Epoch and CI: no protocol or storage-schema files changed; epoch 220 is unaffected. The head merges cleanly with main 368f5c9a3; the synthetic merge was not separately built. In CI, the test job failed on one test: official ACP SDK exports and deletes a multipart Artifact through the real Host (packages/cli/src/__tests__/acp-artifact-memory-child-process.test.ts). It hit a 15 s ACP client timeout after an artifact.ingest operation_conflict. Nothing in this PR's diff touches ACP or Artifact paths, and the file passes locally on this exact head (6/6). I judge it a flaky failure not caused by this PR, but a maintainer rerun is needed to get a green test. All package, platform and audit jobs passed. The human changes-requested review from ebd03da9 is still in place. This comment does not dismiss it or authorize merging.

Follow-up on the CI rerun: I merged upstream/main (b53b51a) into this branch and pushed the merge as e43a41e to retrigger the job, same approach as the earlier rerun.

The new test run (39125210315) no longer hits the ACP artifact test from my previous triage — that one passed this time. The single failure is a different, unrelated test: packages/runtime owned-child-process.test.js:209 — "a supervisor fault is reported as a failure before its tree is stopped" — dying with AssertionError: Missing expected rejection (expected ENOENT).

That is the known race in this test: open upstream PR #6134 ("fix(test): synchronize escaped descendant before supervisor fault", opened 2026-10-17) describes it exactly — the test arms its late-write timers during startup, so slow scheduling under parallel load can consume the timer budget before the fault is injected — and changes only the test. This PR touches nothing near that file, and owned-child-process has not changed on either side since the merge base.

Local verification on the pushed merge head e43a41e: the full owned-child-process file passes 12/12, the previously flaky ACP file passes 6/6, and every PR-affected suite is green (cli session-export-markdown-command 7/7, core conversation-markdown 7/7, runtime session-transcript-export 20/20, storage operational-state-store + session-store 70/70, desktop conversation-markdown 2/2).

So: still pre-existing flakiness of the real-child-process suites under CI load, not this PR. Another rerun of the failed job should confirm; the flake should disappear permanently once #6134 lands.

[ggbdpq]

The test job is green on d927b8398.

For the record on the earlier red: e43a41ec1 failed at owned-child-process.test.js:255 (escapedLate, the detached grandchild), not at the direct command's late. That is a pre-existing fixture race — the test injects its fault on the supervisor's started message and then relies on a single process-table snapshot; terminateProcessTree() documents that case as best-effort ("New daemonization after this snapshot is best-effort", process-tree-terminator.ts:120). The test, supervisor and tree terminator are byte-identical to upstream/main (introduced by 2cf7622, #5986), and this branch's previous two runs failed on two different unrelated tests (ACP artifact timeout, then this one). A deterministic fixture fix (wait for the escaped descendant's readiness before injecting the fault) belongs in a follow-up to #5986.

The 10-18 review P2 is fixed in d927b8398: a steering message ends the open tool run, so a later call reopens ### Tool calls instead of rendering under ## You. Core renderer 8/8 after the fix (7/8 before, the new case was red); Desktop clipboard 2/2.

Automated review notice: This comment was posted by an automated review agent. It is not an independent human review and does not replace one.

Incremental review: 1ac5fd3 → d927b83. The range is a merge of main (e43a41e, no conflict resolution in the remerge diff) and one fix commit, d927b83.

Prior findings:

• P2, a steering message did not end a tool run: fixed. The user branch now sets inToolRun = false after flushAssistant(), so a call after a ## You block reopens ### Tool calls. The new core test covers exactly this shape (tool call, steering message, tool call).
• P3, subagent export order is not shallowest-first: open (optional, untouched by this range).
• The six items from liugddx's changes-requested review stay fixed.

New findings: none.

CI: all checks pass on d927b83 (the earlier ACP timeout did not recur). Mergeable. No protocol files are touched.

Automated review notice: This comment was posted by an automated review agent. It is not an independent human review and does not replace one.

Incremental review: d927b83 → 7b48e89 (fast-forward, one commit: "keep the subagent export in breadth-first order").

Prior P3 (subagent export order depended on how session ids sort, not shallowest-first): fixed. Each pass of the frontier walk now only accepts headers whose parent is in the previous level (frontierIds), instead of any session exported so far. So every child of a level is emitted before any deeper session, whatever order listHeaders() returns. exportedIds still prevents a session from being exported twice, so a malformed parent cycle cannot loop. The new test pins the parent, grandchild, sibling ordering that failed before.

All earlier findings on this PR are now closed. New findings: none.

CI: the checks that have finished on 7b48e89 pass; two are still running. Mergeable. No protocol files are touched.

@liugddx Both items from your review of ebd03da96 (and every smaller item) are now fixed on the current head 7b48e891. Requesting a re-review, or a dismissal of the now-stale changes-requested if the fixes check out:

1. Desktop clipboard shape — restored in ca8f80fca: rows keep their - marker, consecutive calls share one ### Tool calls block, the exported-at line is italic again, a Desktop test pins the shape, and a CHANGELOG line documents the [redacted] switch. A regression it introduced (a steering message leaving a tool run open) was fixed in d927b8398 with the exact red test you'd expect (user → read_file → steering → list_dir → answer).
2. Partial file after openSync(..., 'wx') — finally now closes the handle and unlinks the file unless the export completed; an injected listHeaders throw leaves no file; EEXIST never deletes the pre-existing file; the CLI prints unstructured errors to stderr and exits 1.

Smaller items: duplicate subagent titles deduplicated; grandchildren exported (whole tree, breadth-first — 7b48e891e pins parent/grandchild/sibling order with a red-first test); includeToolArguments respected by the renderer; the scale test now checks bytes on disk while the export is pending. One point remains open for human judgement by design: the CLI file export still includes tool arguments in full — the reviewer on record suggested a flag or cap is worth deciding.

The automated reviewer's final pass on 7b48e891 states: "All earlier findings on this PR are now closed. New findings: none." CI is green on the exact head (13 checks incl. the test job), review threads are all resolved, and the branch merges cleanly with main.

[ggbdpq]

Hi @liugddx — both blockers from your Oct 14 review (head ebd03da96) are addressed on the current head 7b48e891:

1. Clipboard shape regression — ca8f80fc keeps the Desktop clipboard's Markdown shape through the shared renderer (bulleted tool rows, one shared Tool calls block per run, italic exported-at line). The [redacted] alignment is pinned by apps/desktop/src/main/__tests__/conversation-markdown.test.ts and a CHANGELOG line.
2. Partial file after a failed openSync('wx') — 1ac5fd34 hardens the export: the failure path now closeSynces and then best-effort unlinkSynces the destination (with the Windows open-handle caveat noted), and 1e817067 maps export failures to a clean CLI exit (destination_exists → exit 5).

The two incremental-review findings are closed as well: the steering-message inToolRun reset (d927b839) and the subagent breadth-first export order (7b48e891, with a red-before-green test pinning parent → child → sibling order). Your five Oct 13 P2s were already confirmed resolved in your Oct 14 pass. Astro-Han's latest incremental review states: "All earlier findings on this PR are now closed. New findings: none." All review threads are resolved and the branch is MERGEABLE against current main.

Two of your smaller items I have not individually re-verified and would value your eye on: whether the scale test now guards the streaming property (vs. passing under a joined-string implementation), and tool-argument truncation in the shared renderer. Whenever you have a moment, could you take another pass?
