Summary

The Anthropic terminal guard (src/server/responses/terminal-guard.ts) misclassifies an ordinary completed agent turn as a plan-only stop.

analyzeTerminalTurn reads the latest user text and looks at tool activity only before that message, and only for an explicit "continue". In a normal agent turn the messages after the user request are tool calls and toolResults. Example: user "Create hello.txt containing hi, then reply DONE", then exec_command, then exit 0, then the assistant says "DONE". The latest user text is still the original actionable request, the final text is short and matches PLAN_OR_COMPLETION_RE ("done", "fixed", "I've updated ..."), and the turn is classified suspicious_no_tool.

The relay then appends TERMINAL_GUARD_NUDGE ("你刚才只描述了计划，没有执行任何工具…") and re-asks the model in the same response. The model has already run the tools, so it answers the accusation ("我其实已经调用过工具了…") and re-runs them to "verify". The client receives both legs merged into one message. Every later client turn ends with a short summary again, so the cycle repeats. In agent harnesses this shows up as runaway duplicate tool calls.

Observed through a hub on 2.88.0, with Claude OAuth (anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5, claude-opus-5-5, claude-opus-4-7, claude-haiku-4-5):

• Raw /v1/messages with one tool round trip in history: every response carried the extra nudged leg (25/25, on both /v1/messages and /v1/responses). It made no difference whether the tool name was prefixed, thinking was on or off, or ids/text were unique.
• Codex CLI / Claude Code / another agent CLI asked to "create hello.txt containing hi, then reply DONE": 30 / 13 / 25 tool calls, with the model itself reporting garbled history.
• Capturing the outbound body with a fake upstream showed two upstream calls for one client request; the second ends with the nudge as a user message.

Fix

Tool calls or results after the latest user message mean the turn already executed tools. A text-only completion summary in that turn now passes with reason recent_tool_activity. A renewed plan announcement (PLAN_INTENT_RE: "Let me …", "I'll …", "Next I …", "我接下来…", "下一步…") after tool results is still continued, so a model that stalls mid-task is still nudged. A text-only plan announcement that sits after the last tool activity in history also stops the pass, as in recentTurnHasToolActivity. The explicit-continue path and turns with no tool activity are unchanged.

Subject-less next-step wording ("Done. Next, run bun test locally to verify.") is deliberately left passing: in a closing summary it is usually advice to the user, and nudging it brings back the duplicate tool calls this PR fixes. A test pins that boundary.

Verification

Branch head 4ab2d7690 on dev ad6a80e5c (2 behind dev; neither commit touches these files).

• bun test tests/server/terminal-guard.test.ts tests/server/terminal-guard-server.test.ts: 102 pass, 0 fail.

• passes a completion summary that follows tool results in the same turn fails on dev without the source change and passes with it. continues a completion that follows a stalled plan announcement after tool results (CodeRabbit finding) fails on ef993d9c3 (86 pass / 1 fail) and passes now. The plan-announcement and user-directed next-step tests pin the boundary in both directions.

• bun run test:changed (--changed=dev): 19781 pass, 42 skip, 0 fail across 792 files.

• bun run typecheck: no type errors. bun run privacy:scan: passed. bun scripts/file-size-ratchet.ts: passed.

• Applied the first commit (ef993d9c3) to a running 2.88.0 hub and restarted it:

  • The raw /v1/messages reproduction went from 25/25 nudged responses to 0/15 (sonnet-5-5, opus-5-5, opus-4-7).
  • /v1/responses returns a single DONE message.
  • The three agent CLIs complete the hello.txt task in 2 / 1 / 1 tool calls.

  The follow-up commit only narrows the pass for histories that end in a text-only plan announcement; those reproductions end in a tool result, so it was not re-run on the hub.

Review readiness checklist

This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:

• Required local validation passed; commands, results, and any full-suite exception are documented.

• I pushed my PR to a recent dev commit (at most 10 behind; a maintainer may still ask for the exact tip before merge).

• I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

• My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Terminal-turn checks now recognize tool activity within the current turn when assessing completion summaries. Summaries after tool results can proceed, including those that suggest a user follow-up. Plan announcements that stall after tool activity continue to be flagged, while a later completion remains eligible to proceed. Tool activity occurring after a plan announcement also allows the subsequent completion to pass.

Walkthrough

The terminal guard now checks for tool activity since the latest user message. It passes responses with reason recent_tool_activity when the current assistant text is not a plan announcement. Plan announcements continue through existing checks.

Changes: Terminal-turn tool activity

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Detect and handle recent tool activity src/server/responses/terminal-guard.ts, tests/server/terminal-guard.test.ts	The guard scans backward for tool results or assistant tool calls after the latest user message. It passes eligible responses with reason recent_tool_activity. Tests cover completion summaries, plan announcements, and tool activity following a plan announcement.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(terminal-guard): pass completion summaries that follow tool results" names the primary change. The PR adds tool-activity detection to analyzeTerminalTurn in src/server/responses/terminal-guard.ts so text-only completion summaries pass with reason recent_tool_activity. The added tests in tests/server/terminal-guard.test.ts cover the same behavior. The title is specific, concise, and free of file lists or vague terms. It does not mention the follow-up narrowing for plan announcements, which is a secondary detail and does not need to be in the title.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 2 files.

- Around line 120-121: Update the recent-tool-activity pass condition in the
terminal guard to also detect pending next-step wording such as “next, run the
tests,” so unfinished steps receive the existing continuation handling instead
of passing to the client. Add test cases for the current PLAN_INTENT_RE behavior
before changing it, then add coverage for the pending-next-step phrasing.
- Around line 91-92: Update toolActivitySinceLatestUser to inspect assistant
messages without tool calls for PLAN_INTENT_RE matches and return false when one
is found, consistent with recentTurnHasToolActivity. Add a regression case for
the stated history and current response, expecting the decision to continue.
