fix(inbox): a wake note that entered the conversation is read by leeguooooo · Pull Request #73 · leeguooooo/open-cross-session

leeguooooo · 2026-11-06T08:58:58Z

The wake note carries the full body (≤4096 B), but only ocs read moved the read cursor, so ocs inbox, the status bar and the unread: line of send/dm kept counting messages the session had already seen. Models then ran an extra ocs read (seen in the 0.9.14/0.9.15 trial).

Evidence of "read" = the session's own host record shows the note entered the conversation (docs/wake-protocol.md §7, src/seen-wakes.ts):

Host	Record	Counts
Claude Code	`~/.claude/projects/*/<session>.jsonl`	`attachment.type == queued_command`; `type == user` string turn (idle new turn, channel event)
Codex (queue/steer)	rollout	`response_item` message with `role: user`
Pi	`~/.pi/agent/sessions//_<id>.jsonl`	`type: message`, `role: user`

Text must start with the wake header (Claude: after the ocs wrapper and Claude's one-line preamble). Tool output, model replies and developer text quoting a header do not count. Truncated previews (>4096 B) do not count. A coalesced wake proves only its own seq.
Delivery success never counts (iron rule 4); held Claude messages have only an enqueue record.
Own-session files only: same uid, regular file, no symlinks; last 8 MiB. Not used with explicit --as / OCS_NAME. Codex Desktop delegation, OpenCode, Hermes, Grok and agy have no evidence source yet and keep cursor-only behaviour.
Seen messages are excluded; the cursor is persisted over the contiguous seen prefix only (an unseen message stops it), and is never written for a channel with no evidence.

Verification

test/seen-wakes.test.ts 9 tests; mutation check: 12 guards → all red.
Real host: this session's ocs inbox went from 5 unread to 0 in the DM thread whose replies had arrived as wakes; threads with no transcript evidence stayed unread. Timing unchanged (~0.17–0.19 s).
Local full suite: same 4 environment-only failures as main.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Messages whose wake note appears in the sender’s own session conversation are no longer counted as unread in the inbox, status bar, or send/dm unread count. The read cursor advances past consecutive messages confirmed as seen.
- This applies to supported Claude, Codex, and Pi session records. Successful delivery alone does not mark a message as read; held messages, truncated previews, and messages on other hosts remain unread.

The note carries the full body, but only `ocs read` moved the cursor, so inbox, the status bar and the send/dm unread line kept counting messages the session had already seen. - read evidence comes only from the session's own host record: Claude transcript (queued_command attachment / user string turn), Codex rollout user item, Pi user message; the text must start with the wake header and not be a truncated preview - delivery success never counts (held Claude messages only have an enqueue record) - seen messages are excluded and the cursor advances over the seen prefix only - protocol doc §7

Walkthrough

The change adds wake-note read evidence from Claude, Codex, and Pi session records. The CLI passes applicable evidence to inbox processing, which excludes matching messages from unread results and advances the cursor through a contiguous read prefix.

Changes: Wake-note read evidence

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Parse host conversation evidence `src/seen-wakes.ts`, `test/seen-wakes.test.ts`	The parser recognizes supported wake headers and extracts evidence from specified user conversation records. Tests cover accepted formats and excluded record types.
Locate and select the host session `src/seen-wakes.ts`, `src/cli.ts`, `test/seen-wakes.test.ts`	The code locates trusted Claude, Codex, or Pi session records and uses evidence for applicable implicit host identities. Tests cover session lookup cases.
Filter unread messages and advance the cursor `src/inbox.ts`, `test/seen-wakes.test.ts`, `docs/wake-protocol.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`	Inbox processing excludes messages with matching seen evidence and advances the cursor only through a contiguous read prefix. Tests and documentation specify the evidence rules and limits.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 4d106

Unread counts can become inaccurate, and a session-record file swap can hide unread messages. Fix cursor creation and validate the opened record before merging.

Check the opened session record.

If another user can write to the session-record directory, they can replace the checked file before readTail opens it. A forged record can then hide unread messages and advance the cursor.

Open the final path component with O_NOFOLLOW where available. Use fstatSync(fd) to check the opened file’s owner and type and to obtain its size. The descriptor check also rejects a replacement regular file owned by another user.
