Summary

  • preserve the originating conversation session identity when a user turn continues in the background
  • keep direct inbound conversation work interactive while continuations remain background
  • expose redacted lane and propagated-session telemetry for provider session events
  • retain admission fairness while ensuring queued interactive work receives reserved capacity

Root cause

The direct inbound turn was already classified as interactive, but bounded and control-route continuations dropped the originating provider session key. The continuation then derived a different generic chat key, fragmenting one conversation across unrelated sessions and making telemetry appear as though the whole user turn was background work.

Validation

  • focused provider-session and tool-budget tests
  • full pytest suite
  • Ruff
  • Black check
  • MyPy
  • diff check

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Codex conversations now preserve session identity across interactive messages and background continuations.
    • Background continuations retain relevant delivery and progress settings.
    • Interactive requests are prioritized appropriately while background work remains queued.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved session-state tracking and lane-specific telemetry.
    • Ensured continuation messages use the correct session and delivery context.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Codex session keys now propagate through message routing and tool-budget continuations. Codex session-state events now include normalized request lanes. Tests cover session identity, lane selection, admission order, and continuation delivery.

Changes

Codex session continuity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Session-key routing
src/octopal/runtime/octo/message_runtime.py, src/octopal/runtime/octo/router.py
Message handling accepts an optional Codex session key. Routing forwards explicit keys or derives scoped keys, then stores the resolved key in routing context.
Continuation context propagation
src/octopal/runtime/octo/route_continuations.py, src/octopal/tools/catalog.py, src/octopal/runtime/octo/router.py, tests/test_router_tool_budget.py, tests/test_codex_provider_sessions.py
Tool-budget continuations reuse routing context and forward the Codex session key with background delivery options. End-to-end tests verify session identity and lane changes.
Lane-aware session execution and validation
src/octopal/infrastructure/providers/codex_provider.py, tests/test_codex_provider_sessions.py
Persisted-session execution receives the request lane. Session-state events record normalized lanes for reset, resume, recovery, creation, and failure paths. Tests verify lane telemetry and admission order.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to a57cf

The change preserves interactive session identity across continuations, but whitespace-only session values can make telemetry report propagation inconsistently with routing. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness and a small normalization follow-up.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Normalize the session key before telemetry and forwarding.

A whitespace-only codex_session_key is truthy here. The router strips it and derives a session key. The parent trace then reports propagation while the routing span reports no propagated key.

Proposed fix
+        normalized_codex_session_key = str(codex_session_key or "").strip()
         trace_metadata: dict[str, Any] = {
-            "codex_session_key_propagated": bool(codex_session_key),
+            "codex_session_key_propagated": bool(normalized_codex_session_key),
         }
...
-                if codex_session_key:
-                    route_kwargs["codex_session_key"] = codex_session_key
+                if normalized_codex_session_key:
+                    route_kwargs["codex_session_key"] = normalized_codex_session_key
