feat: recover empty and stalled responses by wuxiaoqiang12 · Pull Request #4 · developing-today/opencode-auto-continue

wuxiaoqiang12 · 2026-08-11T04:48:43Z

Summary

recover provider turns that complete with finish: "unknown", zero output tokens, no text, and no explicit error
abort requests that remain busy for 200 seconds without text, reasoning, tool activity, or output tokens, then send continue after idle
delay and revalidate recovery on idle, reusing the existing throttle and consecutive retry limits
preserve user-initiated abort behavior and suppress retries while waiting for question or permission responses, including legacy and v2 events
cancel the stalled-request watchdog as soon as real assistant activity begins, so long streaming responses and tool executions have no total-duration limit
reschedule throttled retries instead of silently dropping them and dispose pending timers cleanly
document retryEmptyResponses and stalledRequestTimeoutMs, and commit rebuilt dist artifacts

Motivation

Some provider failures do not emit a retryable session.error. One observed failure records an assistant message with finish: "unknown", zero output tokens, and no text, then emits session.idle. Another leaves the session busy for an unusually long time without producing any assistant activity. Both cases stop useful progress until the user manually aborts and enters continue.

This change uses strict per-turn evidence to distinguish completed empty responses and stalled first responses from normal replies, tool calls, user aborts, questions, and permission prompts. The stalled watchdog defaults to 200 seconds and can be disabled with stalledRequestTimeoutMs: 0.

Some OpenCode versions complete empty assistant messages without emitting an idle event. Trigger the existing guarded recovery path when the final unknown completion arrives and cover the behavior with a regression test. Signed-off-by: XiaoqiangWu <wuxiaoqiang.rtos@huawei.com>

OpenCode can update the original user message summary after an empty assistant completion. Track the active user message ID so duplicate updates do not reset the turn and cancel the queued retry. Signed-off-by: XiaoqiangWu <wuxiaoqiang.rtos@huawei.com>

Providers can emit partial text while completing a response with an unknown finish and zero output tokens. Treat these abnormal completions as recoverable so auto-continue matches the tab status warning. Signed-off-by: XiaoqiangWu <wuxiaoqiang.rtos@huawei.com>

Replace v1 hooks and SDK calls with the native v2 plugin, session, command, tool, and event APIs. Preserve guarded error and empty-response recovery while yielding to OpenCode's own retries and filtering events from other locations. Cancel queued retries when disabled, prevent synthetic command output from resetting recovery state, and add a root entry for local directory loading. Refresh dependencies, lockfile, documentation, and dist files. Remove the v1 cache-wiping self-update commands in favor of OpenCode's plugin package management. Validation: 47 tests, TypeScript check/build, clean dependency install, and OpenCode 2.0.28 smoke tests for both checkout and packed artifact. BREAKING CHANGE: Requires OpenCode v2 and the plugins configuration key. Signed-off-by: XiaoqiangWu <wuxiaoqiang.rtos@huawei.com>

📝 Walkthrough

The plugin migrates to the OpenCode v2 API and adds recovery for matched failures, completed empty responses, and stalled requests. It updates command handling, configuration, package loading, documentation, and tests.

Changes: OpenCode v2 Plugin and Recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
V2 package entry and configuration `.gitignore`, `package.json`, `index.js`, `src/index.ts`, `README.md`	The package now targets OpenCode v2, exposes a root entry point, and adds test and type-check scripts. Configuration adds empty-response and stalled-request settings. Error matching supports structured v2 errors, and the README describes installation and migration.
Turn evidence and recovery flow `src/recovery.ts`, `src/index.ts`, `test/recovery.test.ts`, `test/plugin.test.ts`, `README.md`	The plugin tracks assistant-turn evidence and uses it to gate empty-response retries and stalled-request interrupts. Recovery checks waiting states, activity, throttling, and retry limits. Tests cover recovery conditions, event handling, and location filtering.
Commands and session lifecycle `src/index.ts`, `test/plugin.test.ts`, `README.md`	The v2 command API registers session and global controls. Command output uses synthetic messages. Disabling recovery, deleting a session, and disposing the plugin clear pending work or session state as applicable.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 73e1a

This change moves the plugin to OpenCode v2 and adds recovery for empty and stalled responses. One small configuration gap remains. Setting stalledRequestTimeoutMs to a very large value, for example to effectively turn the watchdog off, makes it interrupt each request almost immediately. Default and documented settings work as intended. The PR is mergeable once the timeout value is clamped, or with owner awareness of this gap.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 73e1a

Recovery has useful limits and permission checks, but watchdog interruption is not correlated to a particular execution. A user stop overlapping watchdog recovery could therefore be mistaken for an automatic interruption and followed by another continuation. The impact is primarily within the affected session; broader workspace exposure remains unverified.

Retained concerns

Medium · security · inferred: Watchdog recovery attributes interruptions using a session-wide boolean rather than execution or interrupt identity. While pluginAbortPending remains true, interruption events bypass the ordinary user-stop path, and idle handling clears aborted state. If a user or system stop overlaps this recovery window, the plugin can schedule a continuation instead of honoring the stop. The resulting risk is resumed agent work within that session, not a demonstrated permission elevation. The source establishes the ambiguity; production reachability depends on host ordering and correlation guarantees that were unavailable.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — The demonstrated control path targets the sessionID supplied by an accepted event. An unintended continuation can resume work in that session without selecting a new agent or model explicitly. Its effective resource and tool exposure depends on the host's existing session capabilities; cross-workspace or cross-tenant reachability was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

inferred — The material failure path is watchdog expiry, pluginAbortPending becoming true, an overlapping user or system interruption being classified as watchdog-owned, and a delayed continue prompt. This threatens user-stop authority without requiring a new credential grant. Host serialization could constrain the path, but that guarantee was unavailable.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — The location filter rejects attributed foreign directories and conflicting workspace IDs, but accepts events without a usable directory. Accepted session IDs can reach prompt and interrupt calls. The base also accepted event session IDs without a location check; an introduced cross-workspace vulnerability cannot be concluded without the old and new host-scoping and authorization contracts.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

observed — Send-time checks block disabled, busy, aborted, question-blocked, and permission-blocked sessions before applying throttle and retry limits. Prompt creation also cancels timers. Waiting state is represented by booleans, so these controls do not themselves establish correctness for overlapping prompts; host prompt-serialization guarantees remain unknown.

Hardening Proposals

proposed — Bind watchdog interruption and queued continuation to an execution generation or host-provided correlation identifier, consume watchdog ownership at its terminal transition, and give an explicit user stop precedence over recovery. Establish the host contract for unattributed events before relying on locationless session IDs across workspace boundaries.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clamp stalledRequestTimeoutMs to the maximum setTimeout delay.

loadConfig accepts any number for stalledRequestTimeoutMs. startStalledTimer passes that number to setTimeout on Line 384. Node and Bun reduce any delay above 2147483647 ms (about 24.8 days) to 1 ms.

A user can set a very large value, such as 3000000000, to make the watchdog "effectively off". With that value, the timer fires about 1 ms after every busy event. No assistant activity exists at that point, so the plugin interrupts each request. This repeats until maxConsecutive is reached. With maxConsecutive: 0, it repeats without a limit.

Limit the value when the config loads. Optionally, also reject non-finite values.
