Cancelling a Copilot turn, or choosing Send Immediately for a new owner message, can leave Relay's waiting agentStop hook running until its 59-minute deadline. Release that wait when the native journal records cancellation, a new user turn or a session error, while leaving offered Relay messages available for the next valid hook.

The check anchors the current hook to Copilot's native input timestamp, validates the configured journal's file identity and length, and reads at most 64 KiB of control records. Earlier cancellations cannot cancel a later wait; replaced, truncated or unreadable journals release the waiter safely. Unix reads refuse symlinks and special files without blocking. Timestamp-free legacy stops retain their existing idle delivery. This change does not address MCP proof freshness or establish full Copilot end-to-end verification.

Validation:

  • Copilot Rust suite: 46 passed, 1 explicitly manual live-runtime proof ignored.
  • cargo fmt --check and git diff --check: passed.
  • Queue regression verifies cancellation leaves a message offered, and a later valid hook can claim it.
  • Local Clippy with -D warnings: 51 diagnostics on both this branch and clean base ac666f34d, with no new diagnostics.
  • Local rust-oleum: 99 findings on both this branch and clean base, with no new findings or raised baselines.
  • Linux and Windows checks were not run locally; the Windows control-reader counterpart is included. No live hook installation or deployment was performed.

Walkthrough

Copilot end-turn stop hooks now include a session journal snapshot when available. The relay checks the journal for cancellation before idle-stop handling or inbox lookup. Journal verification failures also cancel the wait.

Changes: Copilot stop-wait cancellation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stop-hook snapshot and wait input
crates/relay-node/src/relay/cli/copilot_hook.rs, crates/relay-node/src/relay/copilot.rs
The hook captures a journal snapshot for end-turn stop events when available and forwards the timestamp. Tests verify timestamp forwarding and omit caller-supplied journal data.
Journal snapshot and cancellation scan
crates/relay-node/src/relay/copilot/stop_wait.rs, crates/relay-node/src/relay/copilot/stop_wait/tests.rs
The stop-wait module validates journal identity and size, then scans records for a matching stop and later cancellation events. Unverifiable reads cancel the wait. Tests cover scan outcomes, snapshot boundaries, and journal validation.
Cancellation checks before hook answers
crates/relay-node/src/relay/copilot/sessions.rs, crates/relay-node/src/relay/copilot/stop_wait/tests.rs, CHANGELOG.md
End-turn stop handling returns no answer when the journal reports cancellation, before idle-stop handling or inbox lookup. The macOS integration test checks cancellation, offered-message retention, and legacy stop inputs. The changelog records stop-wait behavior and gateway fallback refusal.

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

The change is mergeable with a bounded testing follow-up: verify cancellation through the hook route so future transport changes cannot silently disable cancellation or reject valid waits.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Release Copilot idle hooks after native cancellation" matches the main change. The PR releases Relay's waiting agentStop hook when Copilot's native journal records cancellation, a new user turn, or a session error. The stop_wait module, the journal reader, and the suppression logic in sessions.rs all implement that change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main sections. It has a Summary that explains what the PR does and a Test Plan with validation results. Its checklist items are not ticked, and the Screenshots section is absent. The template marks Screenshots as applicable only when relevant, so the omission is minor. The description says that tests were added and that manual testing was not performed, but it does not tick the template's checkboxes. The author should tick or annotate them so reviewers can see the status.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 13.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 15 functions across 5 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

[Medium impact] The runtime change is limited to Copilot's local stop-hook waiting workflow.

The cancellation changes appear safe, but the duplicate release notes should be removed before merging to meet the repository guide.

Summary

Copilot stop hooks now check the native journal and end their idle wait after cancellation, another user turn, or a session error.

  • Copilot stop hooks leave their idle wait when the current turn ends early.
  • The changelog adds a note about site-specific gateway URLs.

Test cancellation through the polling loop.

The test calls hook_answer directly, so it cannot detect a cancellation response that leaves the CLI polling. Add a test that starts a waiting hook, appends an abort, and verifies that the hook exits promptly.
