Summary

Fixes Cursor cache. OpenCodex was resending full history every turn, so Cursor could not reuse the previous prompt.

#1940 had the store and was closed as predating the session-id pin (#1990 / #2017). After that pin, a live cursor/grok-4.6 follow-up still rebuilt the root (rootBytes 58 → 43,545 → 43,777). The pin stays. The store sits on top of it.

Codex Sol still broke: Chat Completions with no previous_response_id / thread header minted a new Cursor conversation each hop (missing_ref). Those hops now pin to the first user text. Helpers stay off the parent thread and keep their own cache.

Does not close #1527. Does not report cache_read_tokens (Connect does not expose it). Store is process-local; restart full-replays.

Rebase source: 138337f04 plus the chat/helper follow-up, on current dev (a5ec64172).

Refs #1527 (residual)

Verification

What I treated as “cache works”

Cursor Connect does not return cache_read_tokens. OpenCodex usage for this adapter is estimated and cached_tokens stays 0 even when the wire is healthy. I did not use that field.

The adapter logs [ocx:cursor:run-request] when ocx debug provider on is set. I used two fields from that line:

  • conversationId — must stay the same across hops of one thread. A new id every hop is a cache miss by construction (missing_ref).
  • rootBytes / continuationModefull-replay with growing rootBytes means the adapter rebuilt rootPromptMessagesJson and resent old history. continuationMode=checkpoint and rootBytes=0 means the previous ConversationStateStructure was reused and old history was not put back on the wire.

A follow-up that answers a secret from turn 1 only proves continuity. Continuity was never the bug. Cache requires the second row.

Setup

  • Same Cursor OAuth account for every live number.
  • Proxy on 127.0.0.1:10100, ocx debug provider on.
  • Baseline process: upstream/dev at c42d1eb56 (session pin from fix(cursor): pin session id and continue external tool results as userMessageAction (lands #1990) #2017 present, no checkpoint store). Worktree /Users/wy/src/opencodex-dev.
  • This branch: same dev plus this recut. Worktree /Users/wy/src/opencodex-checkpoint-on-dev. Service pointed at that tree for the recut runs.
  • Client: POST /v1/chat/completions, store omitted, no previous_response_id, no x-codex-parent-thread-id. That is the Codex Sol shape (today’s Sol traffic on this proxy was 162/162 inboundProtocol=chat).
  • Pad: 800 lines of PAD NNNN keep this exact line for cache measurement. plus a one-line secret. Turn 1 asks for ACK <secret>. Later turns ask only for the secret. I grepped service.log for [ocx:cursor:run-request] after each batch.

Baseline (pin only, cache broken)

cursor/grok-4.6, three linear Chat/Responses turns, ~21k-token pad.

Turn rootBytes Notes
1 58 first turn, history not in root yet
2 43,545 full prior prompt replayed into root
3 43,777 replayed again

Conversation continued. The secret came back. History was still rebuilt, so Cursor could not treat turn 2+ as a cache hit.

This branch (cache holds)

Same account, same pad style, Chat Completions, no continuation headers.

cursor/grok-4.6 — conversation cursor_444ac90b4104cb7e977b436e5970190f

Turn What I sent continuationMode rootBytes Reply
1 pad + secret full-replay 58 ACK …
2 full prior messages + “reply with the secret” checkpoint 0 secret
3 same thread + synthetic tool result (read_file) checkpoint 0 secret

cursor/gpt-5.6-sol (Codex Sol path) — same 3-turn Chat Completions shape. Conversation id held. Turns 2–3 checkpoint, rootBytes=0. Secret returned.

cursor/claude-fable-5 — conversation cursor_90f430a8dd95950aa88d5537e82d7c52. Turn 1 full-replay rootBytes=58. Turn 2 checkpoint rootBytes=0. Secret returned.

Isolation — two first messages, ISO-A-VERIFY unique 7f3c vs ISO-B-VERIFY unique 9e1d. Distinct ids cursor_10e41b7a… and cursor_fdefc798…. They did not share a snapshot.

Unscripted live loop — a real Codex claude-opus-5-high session on this process, not a probe script. Conversation cursor_b17e50dbda7d3c72d543b94a44493f66 reused for three tool-continuations, all checkpoint (rawMessages 139 → 141 → 143).

Official cursor-agent on this account still reports cacheReadTokens on resume. That is comparison data only. I did not treat it as an OpenCodex counter.

Repo gate

  • bun test tests/cursor-request-builder.test.ts tests/cursor-adapter.test.ts tests/cursor-blob.test.ts — 124 pass (includes chat-style store:false pin, implied checkpoint without a continuation ref, and helper-owned cache vs parent snapshot)
  • bun run typecheck — clean
  • bun run privacy:scan — passed
  • bun run test — 13232 pass, 10 skip. First parallel pass failed 7 GUI files (Cannot find package 'react'). Rerun of those 7 files: 89 pass, 0 fail. Worktree GUI install/parallel resolution, not this Cursor change.

Not run

#1527 large-context / 429 / kimi-k3. Cache-hit percentage. Survival across ocx service restart (store is memory; full-replay after restart is expected).

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Review readiness checklist

This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:

  • All CI tests are green on my local testing.

  • I pushed my PR to the latest dev commit.

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved Cursor conversation continuation by reusing validated checkpoints for eligible follow-up turns.
    • Added suffix-only replay for tool-result continuations, reducing unnecessary history replay.
    • Preserved checkpoint metadata across flushes and simulated restarts.
    • Added safeguards for isolated conversations and mismatched or invalid checkpoint state.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Automatically falls back to full replay when checkpoint reuse is unavailable or unsafe.
    • Clarified usage reporting when authoritative cache-hit metrics are unavailable.
  • Documentation

    • Documented checkpoint reuse, fallback behavior, isolation rules, and usage limitations.

Preserve Cursor's returned ConversationStateStructure after a successful
no-tool turn and reuse that snapshot on validated linear continuations
instead of rebuilding the full root history.

Tool-result turns reuse the last completed checkpoint plus only the
uncovered suffix. Compaction, helper/shadow isolation, account or model
mismatch, missing refs, decode failures, and invalid_argument recovery
keep the existing full-replay path.

Bind checkpoint snapshots to conversation, credential identity, and
model affinity. Keep an opaque process-local checkpointRef on Responses
continuation state, pin referenced blobs for the checkpoint lifetime,
and never treat OpenCodex usage as a cache-hit counter.

Refs lidge-jun#1527
Chat Completions / Codex Sol hops often omit previous_response_id and
thread headers, so every hop minted a new conversation and missed the
checkpoint store. Pin those hops to the first user text and reuse the
live snapshot. Isolated helpers keep their own cache and stay off the
parent thread.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cursor now captures ConversationStateStructure checkpoints, stores them with blob leases, validates continuation metadata, and reuses valid checkpoints for later turns. Invalid, isolated, compacted, or incompatible requests use full replay. Tool-result continuations replay only the uncovered suffix.

Changes

Cursor checkpoint reuse

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checkpoint contracts and storage
src/adapters/cursor/checkpoint-store.ts, src/adapters/cursor/discovery.ts, src/adapters/cursor/native-exec.ts, src/adapters/cursor/types.ts, src/types.ts
Added checkpoint snapshots, hashed opaque references, TTL and capacity pruning, model-affinity normalization, invalidation reasons, and blob lease pinning.
Checkpoint capture and adapter commit
src/adapters/cursor/live-transport.ts, src/adapters/cursor/transport.ts, src/adapters/cursor.ts
The transport captures serialized ConversationStateStructure updates. Eligible completed turns commit checkpoints and update provider continuation state. Isolated, disabled, unsafe, or invalidated turns remove or invalidate checkpoint references.
Continuation request construction
src/adapters/cursor/request-builder.ts, src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts
The request builder validates identity, model, conversation, compaction, isolation, freshness, reference, and trailing-tool-result conditions. Valid checkpoints provide continuation bytes and suffix offsets. Decode failures use full replay.
Validation and documentation
tests/cursor-adapter.test.ts, tests/cursor-blob.test.ts, tests/cursor-discovery.test.ts, tests/cursor-request-builder.test.ts, tests/responses-state.test.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/adapters.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/ko/reference/adapters.md, structure/04_transports-and-sidecars.md, devlog/_plan/260814_bug_resolution_campaign/030_wave3_cursor.md
Added coverage for checkpoint persistence, suffix replay, invalidation, isolation, model affinity, blob retention, and restart persistence. Documented full-replay fallbacks and the absence of authoritative Cursor cache-hit usage metrics.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a8f00

The PR changes conversation checkpoint reuse, but distinct message histories can currently select the same checkpoint and a retry may persist stale rejected-attempt state, causing later turns to use incorrect context. The current head is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness risks are fixed or explicitly accepted.

The live evidence and performance goal are strong, and I verified the exact head locally: the five focused files pass 237/237, typecheck passes, and privacy scan passes. I am still requesting changes because the checkpoint ownership contract can reuse the wrong conversation state.

Blocking issues:

  1. An explicit missing/expired checkpointRef does not fail closed. resolveCursorCheckpoint() calls getLatestCursorCheckpoint() whenever getCursorCheckpoint(ref) misses, so a stale ref can silently switch to a different snapshot that merely shares conversation/account/model affinity. An explicit ref miss must full-replay with expired; only a ref-less path may attempt a separately validated lookup.
  2. Stateless Chat conversation identity is derived only from the first user/developer text. Two independent chats under the same Cursor credential/model that begin with a common prompt such as “fix the tests” receive the same conversation id and can select each other's latest checkpoint after they diverge.
  3. Checkpoint reuse validates neither the covered message prefix nor the current system/developer instructions. coveredMessageCount is checked only when the last role is toolResult; the current test even reuses a checkpoint claiming two covered messages for a request containing only one user message. A branch/edit/truncated-history request can therefore skip its supplied history and continue from newer or unrelated server state.
  4. The advertised 15-minute retention is lazy. Expired snapshots release their long-lived blob leases only when another checkpoint-store operation calls prune(). An idle proxy can retain prompt/tool blobs beyond the TTL indefinitely (bounded by the aggregate cap, but not by the stated retention time).

Required direction:

  • Store a canonical digest of the covered message prefix and the effective system/developer prompt (plus covered count) with every snapshot, and verify all of them before reuse.
  • For ref-less Chat requests, look up only by an exact covered-prefix identity. Do not use first-user-text alone as a conversation owner. If no stable client/thread identity or exact prefix match exists, full replay is safer than cross-conversation continuation.
  • Do not substitute another snapshot for an explicit ref miss.
  • Add a timer/deadline owner that releases expired checkpoint leases without requiring another request, with unref/cleanup tests.
  • Add regressions for identical first prompts in two independent chats, divergent branches after an identical prefix, changed system instructions, shorter history than coveredMessageCount, explicit missing ref with another matching snapshot present, and idle TTL lease release.

This PR should remain draft until those isolation and retention boundaries are fixed. I will re-review the new exact head; no GUI concern blocks the runtime direction itself.

Do not invalidate the checkpoint just committed during forced-fresh
recovery. Invalidate the inherited ref, including compaction leftovers.
Pin checkpoint blobs atomically, collect nested subagent blob ids, and
keep suffix replay off the system prompt.

Addressed the CodeRabbit review on 3c3f8431f.

Taken:

  • list marker + fallback list in EN/KO adapter docs
  • invalidate the inherited checkpoint, not the one just committed on forced-fresh recovery
  • invalidate on compaction leftovers too
  • collect nested subagentStates blob ids
  • atomic pin rollback
  • suffix replay no longer re-appends the system prompt
  • type the decoded conversation state
  • invalid-checkpoint test now equals full replay
  • hydration test uses a live request scope

Skipped:

  • message-prefix fingerprint for conversation lookup. Compaction now drops the inherited snapshot. Same first-user-message collision stays a local single-user tradeoff, not a new hash store.

Comment on lines +198 to +205
- After a successful no-tool turn, the adapter keeps Cursor's returned ConversationStateStructure
in a process-local store and reuses that checkpoint on the next validated linear continuation
instead of rebuilding the full root history. Tool-result turns reuse the last completed-turn
checkpoint plus only the uncovered suffix when the covered message boundary is known.
Compaction, helper/shadow isolation, account/model mismatch, missing refs, decode failures,
forced-fresh recovery, and invalid_argument retries fall back to the existing full replay. Cursor
Connect still does not expose authoritative cache_read_tokens, so OpenCodex usage is not a
cache-hit counter.

Clear a failed attempt's transport capture before forced-fresh recovery.

Source: Path instructions

An explicit missing checkpointRef now expires instead of picking another
snapshot. Ref-less Chat hops look up only a unique covered-prefix plus
system digest. Identical first prompts no longer share a conversation.
Expired snapshots are pruned by an unref timer, not the next request.

Addressed the requested isolation and retention changes on a8f007d0c.

  • Explicit missing/expired checkpointRef now full-replays with expired. No latest-snapshot substitute.
  • Ref-less Chat hops look up only a unique covered-prefix + system digest. First-user-text is not a conversation owner. Two chats that start with the same prompt no longer share a snapshot.
  • Reuse checks covered count, prefix digest, and system/developer digest on every path. Shorter history and edited prefixes are lineage_mismatch.
  • Expired snapshots are released by an unref prune timer, not the next request. Added a clock-injected TTL test.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use canonical framing for checkpoint digests.

cursorInstructionDigest and cursorCoveredPrefixDigest concatenate untrusted text with newline and NUL separators. Those separators can occur in message content. For example, two user/assistant histories with contents ["A", "C\nassistant\u0000D"] and ["A\nassistant\u0000C", "D"] produce the same prefix byte stream. If only one matching snapshot exists, the second history can reuse the first history’s checkpoint within the same identity scope.

  • src/adapters/cursor/request-builder.ts#L305-L324: frame every system entry, role, and content value with an unambiguous byte length. Include collection counts before hashing.
  • tests/cursor-request-builder.test.ts#L1078-L1126: add a regression case with delimiter-containing content. Assert that the second history uses full-replay with lineage_mismatch or missing_ref, not checkpoint reuse.

Exercise a real checkpoint blob lease.

Lines 1616-1629 only assert checkpoint-store removal. The test does not create a retained blob or assert that expiry releases its pin. It passes if snapshot deletion works but checkpoint lease release regresses.

Create a checkpoint that references a stored Cursor blob. After the scheduled prune, assert that the blob is no longer pinned or becomes evictable.

As per path instructions: “A behavior change in src/ should come with a focused regression test near the existing tests for that subsystem.”

Length-prefix instruction and prefix hashes so delimiter splits cannot
collide. Clear the failed transport before forced-fresh retry so the
recovered turn cannot commit the previous attempt. The idle TTL test
now pins a real blob and asserts the lease is gone after prune.

Pushed 90f585e08 for the latest CodeRabbit notes.

  • Prefix/system digests are length-prefixed, so ab+c and a+bc no longer hash the same.
  • Forced-fresh recovery now drops the failed transport before the retry, so it cannot commit the previous attempt.
  • Idle TTL test pins a real blob and asserts pinnedBytes is 0 after prune.
  • Docs state that a process restart drops the store.

draft 이고 readiness 4칸이 비어 있으며 reviewDecision 이 CHANGES_REQUESTED 입니다. 1683줄 recut 으로 Cursor 가 매 턴 full history 를 다시 받는 문제를 process-local ConversationStateStructure store 로 줄입니다. 본문이 말하는 성공 조건은 continuationMode=checkpointrootBytes=0 이지 cache_read_tokens 가 아닙니다. Connect 가 그 필드를 안 주므로 usage 로 cache hit 를 주장하지 말라는 문서는 코드 한계와 맞습니다. #1527 은 닫지 않고, 재시작 후 full-replay 는 예상 동작입니다.

src/adapters/cursor/checkpoint-store.tscommitCursorCheckpoint 는 conversationId + identityScope + modelId + createdAt + bytes 로 ref 를 만듭니다. createdAt 이 들어가서 같은 대화도 커밋마다 새 ref 입니다. protobuf decode 가 실패하면 collectCheckpointBlobIdsundefined 를 주고 commit 은 저장하지 않습니다. getCursorCheckpointForPrefix 는 같은 prefixDigest 에 ref 가 정확히 1개일 때만 재사용합니다. 두 스냅샷이 해시를 공유하면 miss 로 떨어져 full replay 입니다. getLatestCursorCheckpoint 는 Map 순회 마지막 매치입니다. getCursorCheckpoint 가 delete+set 으로 LRU 순서를 바꾸므로, 매치 함수가 느슨하면 최근 접근 항목이 고릅니다.

createCursorAdaptercommitCapturedCheckpointreplayUnsafe / emittedClientTool / contextUsageStoreCheckpoints === false / 빈 capture 에서 커밋을 건너뜁니다. client-tool suspend 턴은 checkpoint 를 안 남긴다는 본문과 같습니다. tool-result 는 마지막 완료 턴 checkpoint + 미커버 suffix 입니다. compaction, helper/shadow, 계정/모델 불일치, 없는 ref, decode 실패, forced-fresh, invalid_argument 는 full replay 로 돌아갑니다. 가드가 많아서 안전 쪽입니다. 반대로 Chat Completions 에 continuation ref 가 없으면 첫 user text 로 pin 하므로, 같은 오프닝 문구의 병렬 스레드는 충돌할 수 있습니다. Isolation 라이브 메모는 서로 다른 첫 문장을 썼습니다.

스토어는 프로세스 메모리입니다. TTL / totalBytes prune / blob lease 가 있어도 워커가 둘이면 checkpoint 는 공유되지 않습니다. 재시작은 문서대로 full replay 입니다. 테스트는 request-builder / adapter / blob 에 chat store:false pin, implied checkpoint, helper 격리 가 있습니다. 라이브 표는 리뷰 재현이 아니고 CI 체크는 비어 있습니다.

해결방안: CHANGES_REQUESTED 를 먼저 닫고 draft 체크리스트를 채우십시오. prefix 충돌과 재시작 miss 를 테스트로 고정하십시오. Chat pin 키(첫 user text)가 충돌하는 병렬 스레드를 실패 케이스로 남기십시오. 멀티 프로세스 한계를 adapters 문서에 이미 적었으면 본문 체크리스트와 맞추십시오. #1527 은 이 PR 에서 빼 두십시오.

…am is aborted

Only cancelCursorRun() sets expectedClose, so an ordinary completed turn never
qualified for the benign-close path. The abort listener then failed the turn with
'Cursor request was aborted' — which is deliberately NOT a benign cancel, since a
mid-turn abort is a real failure — so a turn whose terminal frame had already been
emitted and whose messages had already been yielded still surfaced as turn-failed
with expectedClose:false.

Return instead of throwing when a terminal frame was already emitted AND the
failure is an abort. Both halves matter: post-terminal alone would change what the
adapter sees for genuine faults, and abort alone would swallow a real mid-turn
abort where nothing was delivered.

Deliberately narrow. A benign cancel after a terminal is already swallowed one
layer up (cursor.ts:183), and the existing contract test that pins 'the transport
still throws the raw cancel after a terminal' keeps passing — this does not widen
that path.

Refs #1527. This is the teardown-misclassification slice only; the kimi-k3
collapse and the 429 asymmetry are separate and need live acceptance work that
cannot start until #2054 lands.
