Sync Pending Approvals

Sync Pending Approvals

This skill is designed to solve a synchronization issue where an agent spawns a tool requiring user approval, but the user switches away from the session in the UI, or the UI is reloaded. Because the approval request was sent while the session was not active in the UI, the frontend misses the event, and the backend blocks indefinitely waiting for the oneshot::channel response.

Problem Context

When subagent sessions (or inactive sessions) require tool approval:

1. Rust backend emits a ToolExecutionRequiresApproval event and awaits a oneshot channel response.
2. The UI (AgentSessionContext.tsx) filters out events for inactive sessions.
3. The background task deadlocks.

The Solution

To solve this, we must cache the approval details in the Rust session state and re-emit the event when the frontend resumes the session.

1. Update AgentSession State

Currently, pending_approvals only stores the Sender<bool>. It needs the context (tool_name and arguments) to recreate the event.

See rust-state-changes.md for the exact code modifications required for AgentSession and ToolExecutionStarted.

2. Re-emit Events on Session Resume

When the frontend explicitly opens a session, it calls agent_resume_session. We must hook into this phase to read the pending_approvals map and fire the events again.

See rust-resume-logic.md for the exact code modifications.

3. Frontend Deduplication

The frontend needs to ensure that if these events fire again, they don't create duplicate entries in the pending list.

See frontend-dedup.md for the required changes.

Instructions for the Agent applying this skill

1. Locate AgentSession struct definition (usually in src-tauri/src/agent/state.rs or similar). Apply the new struct and update all initialization sites.
2. Update the tool execution loop (src-tauri/src/agent/llm/tool_execution.rs) to store the struct instead of just the sender.
3. Update src-tauri/src/commands/agent_commands.rs (specifically the agent_resume_session handler) to re-emit the events.
4. Update src/context/AgentSessionContext.tsx to handle deduplicate insertions into the pending array.
5. Compile and test that the tool approval modal correctly appears when switching back to a session that was waiting for approval.
