From 3030120b1f65626cda2124880d8dc4f5919fdf3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bitkyc08-arch Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 10:57:30 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix(cursor): bound the assembled external replay envelope (#1527) Cursor's external workers reject a replay set over 192 root blobs or 512 KiB with a late invalid_argument, after hydrating every blob, so the upstream failure carries no usable measurement. Three shapes reached that state: - 192 checkpoint roots plus a two-root suffix each passed their own per-call check and emitted 194, because nothing measured the assembled set; - the empty-history early return skipped the pruning branch entirely, so 193 system prompts went out unbounded; - a contiguous trailing tool-result block was byte-pruned but never count-pruned. The guard now sits after final assembly, the only point where the wire content is known, and the same measurement feeds the run-request diagnostic so telemetry cannot disagree with the guard. rootBytes previously read rootPromptMessagesState?.byteLength, which reported 0 for a pure checkpoint and counted an already-removed synthetic system root for a suffix. A root carried inside a decoded checkpoint need not be in the local store: Cursor minted some of them. Such a root is counted, not fatal - the count limit still binds it and unmeasuredRoots marks rootBytes as a floor. Failing closed there broke three passing checkpoint tests, which is what proved it would reject working continuation. Also recovers the initiating user turn when retained history begins with an orphan toolResult, shrinking the result text to make room, so the model is not asked to interpret a result whose request it cannot see. CursorRootEnvelopeLimitError is a local 400 and never retryable, checked ahead of the text heuristics in isRetryableCursorError. Verified: 153 pass across three Cursor suites, tsc clean, and five mutations driven red (no-guard 4, count-only 1, bytes-only 3, stale-bytes 1, unmeasured-fatal 5).

Blockers 8 through 13 applied. The +first draft would have broken legitimate checkpoint continuation and measured the +envelope in the one place where the true root set is not yet known. + +## Scope + +IN: `src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts` (`rootPromptMessages`, +`buildPreparedCursorRunRequest`), `src/adapters/cursor/cursor-errors.ts`, +`src/adapters/cursor/transport-retry.ts`, `src/adapters/cursor/native-exec.ts` (a +read-only blob-size accessor), `src/adapters/cursor.ts` (terminal catch), +`tests/cursor-blob.test.ts`, `tests/cursor-transport-retry.test.ts`, +`tests/cursor-adapter.test.ts`. + +OUT: native Composer and Auto replay behavior, the #2277 checkpoint continuation +design, and the transport retry policy itself. + +One PR: final-envelope construction, its typed failure mapping, and the +regressions. The audit found no seam that splits cleanly, because the guard and the +measurement it depends on are the same change. + +## Defect 1 — the envelope is measured on the wrong set + +`CURSOR_EXTERNAL_ROOT_BLOB_LIMIT` (192) and `CURSOR_EXTERNAL_ROOT_BYTE_LIMIT` +(512 KiB) live at `src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts:71-73` and are checked +against `keptPrior` only. System roots are all retained before the history budget is +computed (`:309-380`), and trailing active tool results are byte-pruned but never +count-pruned. + +Reproduced in isolated probes: 193 roots from 193 system prompts; 614,430 root bytes +from a single 600 KiB system prompt; 194 roots from one system plus 193 trailing +results. Each reported `continuationMode: "full-replay"`. + +Two further escapes the first draft missed: + +- **Cumulative checkpoint roots (blocker 9).** Suffix roots are appended AFTER + existing checkpoint roots (`:937-947`) but `rootPromptMessages` sees only the + suffix. A probe with 192 checkpoint roots plus a two-root suffix emitted 194. +- **The empty-history early return (blocker 10).** `rootPromptMessages` returns + before external enforcement when `rawMessages` is empty (`:198-215`). A guard + placed only in the external-history branch leaves this path unbounded; a probe + emitted 193 system roots through it. + +Both mean the guard cannot live inside `rootPromptMessages`. The final root set +exists only after checkpoint or full-replay assembly completes (`:959-974`), and +that is where enforcement belongs. + +## Defect 2 — a tool result can be sent without the request that caused it + +External replay omits assistant tool-call roots by design (`:288`). The pruner puts +every trailing tool result into `active` (`:321-326`), so one large result can +consume the whole history budget and drop the preceding user turn (`:348-357`). The +orphan guard preserves that lone result and sets `historyMessageStart` to it +(`:365-369`); `conversationTurns()` then finds no current user turn and drops it from +`turns[]` too (`:719`, `:763`). + +The emitted request is system roots, an assistant-role tool-result marker, zero turn +blobs, and the generic Continue action. The audit's one correction to the framing: +it is not literally instruction-free — system instructions and the Continue action +are present. What is missing is the initiating user instruction, which is what makes +a large-context turn answerable. A model given that answers in a handful of tokens, +matching the report (200 OK, 4-19 output tokens at 80-95k input), reproduced with no +Cursor account. + +`tests/cursor-blob.test.ts:474` asserts the oversized result and its truncation +marker survive. It never asserts the initiating turn survives, which is why CI stayed +green over a request shape that cannot work. + +## Blocker 8 — why the obvious rule was wrong + +The first draft said: never emit a result-only continuation. That is correct for full +replay and WRONG for checkpoint continuation. Production sets `checkpointSuffixStart` +to the covered message count (`src/adapters/cursor/request-builder.ts:479-488`), so a +valid suffix may legitimately begin with a tool result — the initiating turn is +already inside the checkpoint. `rootPromptMessages` receives only the sliced suffix +(`:915-933`) and cannot recover it, so a blanket rule would reject or corrupt correct +continuation. + +The distinction must be an explicit argument, not inferred from message shape. Pass a +replay origin: `"checkpoint-covered"` only from the branch where checkpoint decoding +succeeded (`conversationState` established at `:917-918`) and `checkpointSuffixStart` +passed validation (`:919-926`); `"full-replay"` from every fallback path (`:959-960`). +Do not derive it from the advisory `request.continuationMode`. + +## Change map + +### `rootPromptMessages` — replay origin + +Accept an explicit origin (`:198-204`). + +Full replay retains the initiating user or developer root together with every +contiguous trailing tool-result root; if that group cannot fit, fail rather than emit +a result-only replay. Checkpoint-covered replay may begin with tool results. + +### `rootPromptMessages` — atomic tool-result block (blocker 11) + +The first draft's "atomic block" contradicted the 192-root cap: 193 results plus a +system root cannot be both. Atomicity means MEMBERSHIP: every result present in +original order, or construction fails. Explicit text truncation of a result may +remain, but whole-result deletion — `shift`, `filter`, marker omission — is forbidden +(`:318-341`). A count-only assertion would let an implementation silently drop +results and still pass, so tests assert result IDENTITY, not just count. + +### `buildPreparedCursorRunRequest` — one measurement, one guard + +Immediately after `conversationState` is final (`:959-994`), measure +`rootPromptMessagesJson` once: `rootCount` from the final ID list; `rootBytes` as the +sum of stored blob lengths, counting repeated IDs repeatedly; fail closed if any final +ID is unmeasurable. For external models, reject when count exceeds 192 or bytes exceed +512 KiB. Use this same measurement for the `run-request` telemetry. + +This single site fixes blockers 9 and 10 together: it sees checkpoint roots plus +suffix, and it is downstream of the empty-history early return. + +### `native-exec.ts` — blob size accessor + +Add a read-only `cursorBlobByteLength(blobId)` over the existing store +(`:333-340`, `:457-459`), returning stored byte length and never content. Requiring +resolvable sizes is safe because committed checkpoints already fail when a referenced +blob cannot be pinned (`src/adapters/cursor/checkpoint-store.ts:220-228`). + +### `cursor-errors.ts` — typed failure (blocker 12) + +Add `CursorRootEnvelopeLimitError` following the existing typed-error pattern +(`:36-71`): stable `name`, `code = "cursor_root_envelope_limit"`, `status = 400`, and +readonly `rootCount`, `rootBytes`, `maxRootCount`, `maxRootBytes`. Classify as an +invalid Cursor request. Add `CursorRootMeasurementError` for an unmeasurable final blob rather than logging +an invented number (re-audit blocker 6, which correctly noted the first revision left +it undefined): `code = "cursor_root_measurement_failed"`, `status = 500` because it +is an internal accounting failure rather than an oversized client request, carrying +the unmeasurable blob id and the count measured so far. It maps through the adapter +with the same non-retryable discipline. + +`isRetryableCursorError` returns false for both classes before any text heuristic +(`transport-retry.ts:20-39`) — retrying an over-envelope request only reproduces it. +The terminal catch in `src/adapters/cursor.ts:477-488` preserves status 400, +`invalid_request_error`, the code, and `retryable: false` instead of degrading to a +message-inferred 502. + +### Telemetry (blocker 13) + +The first draft called telemetry defect-free. It is not. For a pure checkpoint, +`rootPromptMessagesState` is undefined and `:990-992` reports `rootBytes: 0` despite +real checkpoint roots. For suffix replay, `:948-953` records `suffixRoots.byteLength` +including a synthetic system root that was then removed. Both are fixed by reporting +the single final measurement above — which matters beyond observability, because the +blocker-9 guard depends on the same number being right. + +Also drop the synthetic default-system root from suffix assembly (`:927-953`) so +suffix accounting stops including a root absent from the final envelope. + +## Accept criteria + +1. **Full replay keeps its initiating turn.** External full replay under cap, one + initiating user root, uniquely identified trailing results: the final non-system + sequence is the initiating user followed by every expected `call_id` in order. + Mutation: classify the call checkpoint-covered, or drop the initiating root — red. + (b) **Developer-root initiator (re-audit 5).** The same case with a `developer` + root as initiator. Turn discovery currently scans for `user` only + (`protobuf-request.ts:346-351`) even though its own comment says user or + developer, so a user-only test would pass an implementation that still drops a + developer-initiated turn. Fix the scan and assert the developer root survives. +2. **Checkpoint-covered result-only suffix stays valid.** A pinned checkpoint covers + the initiating turn and the suffix slices to a tool result: checkpoint roots + remain, the result is appended, no synthetic system root appears. + Mutation: apply the full-replay rule to the suffix — rejects or loses the result, + red. This is the blocker-8 regression guard. +3. **Count guard is cumulative.** 192 checkpoint roots plus a two-root suffix throws + with `rootCount === 194`. Mutation: guard only `suffixRoots` — no throw, red. +4. **Byte guard is cumulative.** Under 192 roots whose hydrated final bytes exceed + 512 KiB throws, and `rootBytes` equals the independently hydrated sum. + Mutation: count-only, or suffix-local byte accounting — no throw, red. +5. **The early return cannot bypass enforcement.** 193 system prompts with no + `rawMessages` throws with `rootCount === 193`. Mutation: guard only the + external-history branch — serializes fine, red. +6. **Tool-result membership is all-or-fail.** (a) An under-cap block with unique + `call_id`s keeps every identity and order. (b) 193 active results plus one system + root throws rather than emitting a shortened envelope. + Mutation: restore `active.shift()` or any arbitrary deletion — identity or + rejection assertion red even though the count still fits. + (c) **Combined byte overflow (re-audit 4).** Several results, each individually + representable, whose combined block exceeds the budget — the only shape that + reaches the deletion loop at `protobuf-request.ts:328-330`. Assert every result + identity survives or the request is rejected; never a silently shortened block. + Without this case the `active.shift()` mutation is NOT red, because 193 small + results stay under the byte budget and get caught by the count guard instead — + the re-audit's correction. +7. **Byte truncation cannot erase a result.** When the system leaves less room than + the minimum result-plus-marker representation, throw. Mutation: restore the + current omission path (`:332-340`) — succeeds without the result, red. +8. **The typed failure carries evidence.** Assert class, `name`, `code`, + `status === 400`, exact measured counts, both limits, and + `isRetryableCursorError(error) === false`; then the same class through the adapter + for event status, type, code, retryability. + Mutation: throw a generic Error, omit measured fields, or match on message regex + — at least one assertion red. This is what makes blocker 12 non-vacuous. +9. **Telemetry equals the final envelope.** (a) Pure checkpoint with debug enabled: + `rootBlobs` and `rootBytes` equal the hydrated checkpoint roots, not zero. + (b) Checkpoint plus suffix: telemetry equals the final sum and excludes the removed + synthetic system root. + Mutation: restore `rootPromptMessagesState?.byteLength ?? 0` or + `suffixRoots.byteLength` — red. +10. **An unmeasurable root is counted, not fatal (corrected during build).** A root + carried inside a decoded checkpoint need not exist in the local blob store — + Cursor minted some of them, and a resumed conversation legitimately references + ids this process never wrote. The count limit still binds such a root; the byte + total becomes a floor, and `unmeasuredRoots` in the diagnostic says so. + Mutation `unmeasured-fatal` (throw on an unmeasurable root) — red, 5 fail. +11. Invalid checkpoint bytes still report `continuationMode: "full-replay"` with + `checkpointInvalidationReason: "decode_failed"`. +12. Valid tool-suspended checkpoint continuation does not regress. + +## Corrections made during implementation + +Two things in the plan above were wrong and were changed rather than implemented as +written. Both were caught by running mutations, not by reading. + +**`CursorRootMeasurementError` was designed and then deleted.** Criterion 10 +originally required failing closed on an unmeasurable root. Implementing it broke +three already-passing checkpoint tests, which is the evidence that failing closed +rejects working continuation: checkpoint roots are *expected* to be absent from the +local store. With the fail-closed branch gone the class became unreachable, and an +unreachable error class cannot be tested, so it is not in the shipped diff. The +reasoning is recorded next to `isCursorRootEnvelopeError` so the next reader does not +re-add it. + +**The `replayOrigin` parameter was removed as non-load-bearing.** The plan gated +orphan-result recovery on whether the call was a full replay or a checkpoint suffix. +A mutation that forced the suffix branch could not be made red — `activeStart > 0` +already confines the search to the current call's slice, so the flag never decided +anything. Worse, gating on it would have *recreated* the defect for a checkpoint +suffix that does contain its own initiating turn. A parameter that cannot be observed +is not a safeguard. + +## Verification + +`bun test tests/cursor-blob.test.ts tests/cursor-request-builder.test.ts +tests/cursor-transport-retry.test.ts`: 153 pass, 0 fail. `bun x tsc --noEmit` clean. +CI on the exact PR head is primary; the request path is shared, so the merged tree is +verified before merge.

Rejecting oversized envelopes surfaces requests +that previously went out silently as explicit local 400s — better behavior, but +visible behavior change. Native Composer and Auto paths stay untouched. + +Not verified: no live Cursor request was sent.

One system root plus 191 small trailing results already fills the count limit, so the initiator did not fit, the single-result branch did not apply, and the request went out as 191 bare results with nothing asking for them - at exactly 192 roots, so the envelope guard could not catch it either. The reviewer's probe confirmed the initiating root absent and conversationState.turns empty. Recovery now makes room instead of giving up: drop the oldest results first, the same direction the byte-pressure loop already prunes, then truncate what survives, and commit only when the initiator genuinely fits. Also carries the typed error across the adapter boundary. The terminal catch emitted only a message, so `cursor_root_envelope_limit` was lost and a caller could not tell an unsendable conversation from a transient upstream fault. Two message defects came with it: the class carried its own "Cursor invalid request:" prefix that safeCursorErrorMessage then added again, and routing the message through that sanitizer collapsed it to the bare label, discarding the counts that say which limit was hit and by how much. Added the cumulative checkpoint-plus-suffix tests the review asked for. Every other envelope fixture is an oversized full replay, so a guard measuring only the suffix would have satisfied them all; these two suffixes are legal alone. Verified: 183 pass across five Cursor suites, tsc clean, and three new mutations red - reverting to the single-result gate fails the multi-result test, and a suffix-only guard fails both cumulative tests plus the telemetry test. --- src/adapters/cursor.ts | 16 ++++- src/adapters/cursor/cursor-errors.ts | 4 +- src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts | 38 ++++++++-- tests/cursor-adapter.test.ts | 47 +++++++++++++ tests/cursor-blob.test.ts | 92 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 188 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/adapters/cursor.ts b/src/adapters/cursor.ts index e3b2a0aed6d..1ab248a7545 100644 --- a/src/adapters/cursor.ts +++ b/src/adapters/cursor.ts @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ import type { AdapterEvent, OcxProviderConfig } from "../types"; import type { ProviderAdapter } from "./base"; import { isTranslatorBudgetExceededError } from "../lib/translator-budget"; import { cursorExecDeniedMessage, cursorRequestDeclaresFullAccess } from "./cursor/exec-policy"; -import { isCursorBenignCancelError, isCursorInvalidArgumentError, safeCursorErrorMessage, type CursorSizeContext } from "./cursor/cursor-errors"; +import { isCursorBenignCancelError, isCursorInvalidArgumentError, isCursorRootEnvelopeError, safeCursorErrorMessage, type CursorSizeContext } from "./cursor/cursor-errors"; import { cursorCheckpointModelAffinityId, inferCursorContextWindow, isCursorExternalWireModel } from "./cursor/discovery"; import { createCursorKvStore, type CursorKvStore } from "./cursor/kv-store"; import { mapCursorServerMessage } from "./cursor/message-mapper"; @@ -70,6 +70,14 @@ function safeCursorTransportError(err: unknown, sizeContext?: CursorSizeContext) if (err instanceof CursorMissingCredentialError) { return "Cursor live transport is enabled, but no Cursor access token is configured.

Under byte pressure the active-result loop called `active.shift()` until the block fit, which deleted whole results: a probe with three ~220 KB results emitted only the last two, and `call_0` vanished while its tool call stayed in the transcript. The model then sees a call it never got an answer to, which is the pairing break #1527 reports, and nothing in the request says a result was dropped. Every active result now shrinks toward an equal share of the history budget first, using the same UTF-8-safe truncation the single-result path already used. Dropping the oldest remains only as the last resort for when even an equal share cannot fit, since the truncation marker itself has a floor. This predates the envelope work - the loop is unchanged on dev - but it is the same defect #1527 describes, so fixing it here rather than deferring it. Verified: 179 pass across four Cursor suites, tsc clean, and the mutation that restores the shift-only loop fails the new retention test. --- src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts | 17 ++++++++++ tests/cursor-blob.test.ts | 44 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 61 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts b/src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts index 0e38aa14298..256af86ab9d 100644 --- a/src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts +++ b/src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts @@ -327,6 +327,23 @@ function rootPromptMessages(request: CursorRunRequest, requestScope: CursorBlobR .map(entry => truncateToolResultBlob(entry, historyBudget)) .filter((entry): entry is RootBlobCandidate => entry !== null); let activeBytes = active.reduce((sum, entry) => sum + entry.byteLength, 0); + // Shrink every active result toward an equal share before dropping any of them.
