Closes #1306 (status:approved). Final slice 4 of 4.

PR type

  • Bug fix (type:bug)

Summary

  • Distinguish explicit signal?.aborted review-tool failures from genuine unavailability in the display-only Status sidebar, while preserving the original thrown error and tool result.
  • Pin safe loss of visual candidate-scope correlation for a nested raw workspaceRoot versus the canonical session cwd; never canonicalize paths or infer review authority.
  • Extract the completion resolver without changing native outcome interpretation, binding/target checks, tool routing, or review authority.

Chain context

Sequential changes against main: #1319 contract/renderer (merged) → #1379 publisher/correlation (merged) → #1500 runtime/session wiring (merged) → this remaining display-only edge-case slice. Based on 878249cfc28e0eb6b59c2fbfcec0a21a042e694f, after #1507 and #1508 merged. Their Sections RDD toggle, legacy-settings/profile migration, and user-facing RDD labels are already upstream and deliberately excluded from this PR. The earlier local nine-file PR4 prototype was not published or rebased; this is a fresh, two-file branch. Unrelated Vim test-harness repair #1430 remains out of scope.

Changes

File Change
lib/review-sidebar-state.ts Preserve raw workspace identity as display-only, classify aborted tool failure as Unknown rather than Review unavailable, extract completion resolution without semantic changes
tests/review-sidebar-state.test.ts Nested-path mismatch/matching control and aborted/ordinary failure coverage including thrown-error identity

Review size: 2 files, +67/-31 = 98 changed lines. No task artifacts, dependency links, generated runtime files, or upstream toggle/labels changes.

Verification

  • Test-first explicit abort: observed RED (unavailable instead of unknown), then GREEN; ordinary failures remain unavailable and original exceptions propagate.
  • node --experimental-strip-types --test --test-reporter=tap tests/review-sidebar-state.test.ts tests/shell-bar.test.ts: 59/59 passed, independently rerun against the new base. Passing shell-bar tests also cover the upstream Sections visibility and labels/scope presentation.
  • node scripts/check-types.mjs: 188 recorded baseline diagnostics, no regressions (not a clean typecheck).
  • node scripts/build-runtime-modules.mjs --check: seven generated modules match sources.
  • git diff --check: passed. Native review of the exact 98-line new-base candidate: medium/reliability approved and acknowledged.

Full-suite scope

The full suite was not run for this new-base candidate; no green or failed full-suite outcome is claimed for this PR. An earlier, unpublished prototype on the pre-#1507/#1508 base recorded 14 Vim failures, reproduced by name in a targeted old-base run; that history is not evidence of the current base's full-suite health. #1430 tracks the separate Vim fixture concern. Hosted CI must verify this branch against current main.

Contributor notes

  • Approved issue linked; exactly one type:bug label requested (maintainer may need to apply it if contributor permissions disallow it).
  • Conventional commit, no co-author trailers. No shell scripts or skills changed; shellcheck/skill smoke checks do not apply.
  • No merge requested automatically; CI and maintainer review remain required.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Review state now distinguishes user-aborted operations from other failures: aborted operations show as unknown, while other failures show as unavailable.
    • Displayed scope is retained only when capture and target details match; mismatched workspace paths no longer display misleading scope.
    • Sidebar state now handles completed captures and terminal results according to their relationship to the prior review state.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The sidebar publisher now resolves completion state and scope from tool results and prior correlation. It retains scope only for qualifying matches, updates capture bindings, and publishes unknown for aborted calls while preserving the original error.

Changes

Sidebar completion state

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve completion correlation
lib/review-sidebar-state.ts
resolveCompletion derives the snapshot and next scope from tool results and prior correlation. It validates terminal closures, updates capture bindings, and replaces correlation when a fresh current-target projection is available.
Publish completion and error state
lib/review-sidebar-state.ts, tests/review-sidebar-state.test.ts
The publisher uses resolveCompletion. Tests cover nested workspace paths that lose displayed scope, matching paths that retain scope, and aborted errors that publish unknown while preserving the original rejection.

The sidebar can show an ordinary review failure as Unknown rather than Unavailable in a narrow cancellation race. This is a bounded display issue to fix or explicitly accept before merging.

Classify aborts from the caught error, not the signal alone.

When signal aborts while gentle_review waits for ctx.ui.confirm, a later denial throws an ordinary authorization error. The catch branch can then publish "unknown" only because signal.aborted is true.

Use the repository’s existing AbortError convention. Mark the three explicit cancellation errors as AbortError, then classify only that error type as "unknown".

Suggested fix
-							publish(id, { state: signal?.aborted ? "unknown" : "unavailable", scope: REVIEW_SCOPE_UNAVAILABLE });
+							publish(id, { state: error instanceof Error && error.name === "AbortError" ? "unknown" : "unavailable", scope: REVIEW_SCOPE_UNAVAILABLE });
-			if (signal?.aborted) throw new Error("Review capture group was cancelled");
+			if (signal?.aborted) {
+				const error = new Error("Review capture group was cancelled");
+				error.name = "AbortError";
+				throw error;
+			}

Apply the same AbortError marking to the corresponding cancellation errors in gentle_review_capture and gentle_review.
