fix(notifications): suppress notifications for historical tool result errors - #243
amandeavor wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
… errors Establish baseline file size and line count during active session seeding so catch-up scans do not falsely treat pre-existing files as new growth. Support subagent session files during seeding, filter pre-existing historical messages on first observation of unseeded files, and guard NotificationManager against errors timestamped prior to initialization.

Explanation
Issue
#203requires Tool Result Error notifications only for new errors. It names two symptoms: errors from other projects, and tool calls that occurred before the project was opened or notifications were enabled. The reviewed head covers both. FileWatcher records a watcher start time and baselines recent session and subagent files during seeding, so historical content is not reported as new. On a file's first observation, full-file error scans process only messages with an explicit raw timestamp at or after the watcher start time. The new hasRawTimestamp field is confirmed at the reviewed head in src/main/utils/jsonl.ts (hasRawTimestamp: Boolean(entry.timestamp)), which supports that check. NotificationManager records its own start time, rejects errors with an earlier timestamp in addError, and excludes them in shouldNotify. Errors without a timestamp still pass through. Tests cover seeded files, historical messages, and historical versus new notifications. Limits: the whole-PR diffs for FileWatcher.ts, NotificationManager.ts, and jsonl.ts could not be read, and the head file read for FileWatcher.ts was truncated. The FileWatcher and NotificationManager behavior rests on the change summary and the prior source-based assessment, not on a direct read of the changed lines.

Explanation
The changes support the historical-error suppression objective of
#203. The raw-timestamp flag and the first-observation filter prevent entries without an explicit timestamp from being treated as new. Raw timestamps default to the current time when absent, so this filter is needed to suppress them. Reordering notification-manager setup before localContext.start() in src/main/index.ts and src/main/standalone.ts ensures the manager receives errors from the start. The subagent-error gating in seeding and catch-up applies the existing notification setting to the same notification path. Tests cover the new behavior. The commit message mentions raw-timestamp work that the PR description does not explain. That work is connected to the same objective, so it is not treated as unrelated. No unrelated change is shown in the available evidence. The whole-PR diffs could not be read, so this conclusion relies on the change summary.

- Around line 901-903: Coordinate start() with seedActiveSessionFiles() so

processed.

Preserve whether the raw JSONL entry had a timestamp.
If an unseeded file contains a historical tool_result with is_error: true and no raw timestamp, parseChatHistoryEntry assigns the current time. FileWatcher then keeps the entry, ErrorDetector creates an error with that time, and NotificationManager.addError accepts it as newer than its cutoff.
Track raw timestamp presence and require it during the first-observation historical filter. Keep the current-time fallback for entries processed after the file has been seeded.

Preserve raw line indices when filtering first observations.
A file-change event can call detectErrorsInSessionFile before seedActiveSessionFiles records a baseline. For that first observation, the filter removes historical messages, but ErrorDetector numbers the filtered array from 1. lastLineCount is still 0, so the watcher can report a post-start error at the wrong JSONL line. This line number is later used for deep-linking to the error location.
Retain each filtered message's original line index and use it when adjusting error.lineNumber. The seeded path's zero-byte baseline does not correct this unseeded path.

Seeding re-parses the whole file from byte 0 and re-submits historical messages.
When firstPostStartIdx > 0, seedSessionFile sets lastProcessedLineCount to firstPostStartIdx and lastProcessedSize to 0. It then calls detectErrorsInSessionFile.
In detectErrorsInSessionFile, canUseIncrementalAppend is lastLineCount > 0 && currentSize > lastSize. That condition is true here. The code calls parseAppendedMessages(filePath, 0), which reads the entire file from offset 0.
This causes three defects:
newMessagescontains the historical messages, so the first-observation filter is bypassed.- A historical entry without a raw timestamp gets
timestamp = new Date()fromparseChatHistoryEntry.NotificationManager.addErrorthen accepts it. This is the false-notification case the PR targets. currentLineCountbecomesfirstPostStartIdx + <total lines>, so it is overcounted.error.lineNumber + lastLineCountis wrong for every detected error.
A session with history and at least one post-start message at seed time triggers this. That is the normal active-session case.
Fix the cause in detectErrorsInSessionFile. A size offset of 0 is not a valid append baseline. Require lastSize > 0 for the incremental path. With lastSize === 0, the full-parse path then runs. It applies messages.slice(lastLineCount) and computes correct line offsets.
// src/main/services/infrastructure/FileWatcher.ts, line 662
const canUseIncrementalAppend = lastLineCount > 0 && lastSize > 0 && currentSize > lastSize;Add a test for this path. Seed a file that has historical lines and then a post-start line. Assert that detectErrors receives only the post-start messages. Also assert that lineNumber is correct.
