Fixes BB-74 — P1, Connect / Swarm. Covers the merged BB-70 half too.

The bug

Once a swarm run is underway the user loses the thread of it. Four failures, one flow:

  1. Clicking a live finding is a one-way trip, and the finding detail doesn't say what the finding was.
  2. "Return to live swarm" makes the button disappear and leaves the user on the same page.
  3. Coming back to the swarm page, there's no way to tell whether a run is still active — and no way to stop one.
  4. Running again says "started 15 goals", which explains nothing and goes nowhere.

Root causes and fixes

1 — The way back did nothing visible. SwarmsSessionsPanel seeded selectedThreadId from initialThreadId (the ?session= param) once, and its re-seed effect early-returns on a null target. So handleBackToRun dropped the param, the button — keyed on that same param — vanished with it, and the session the viewer asked to leave stayed rendered. That is the whole reported symptom: the URL changed, the affordance disappeared, nothing else moved.

The panel now follows the URL: a URL that no longer names a session stops showing one. An in-panel list click never touches the URL, so it never reaches that branch and internal selection still works exactly as before. The existing test asserted the URL after the click but never that the session closed — which is the gap the bug lived in; the new test asserts the viewer is gone, and it fails on main (expected <div data-testid="viewer" …> to be null).

2 — The page went silent once the run settled. The state strip rendered only while waveLiveProgress was non-null, so a returning viewer saw nothing at all on a finished run, and the "Back to the run" control existed only inside the live strip — a finding followed after the run ended was a second dead end. The strip is now always rendered and always states the state: running / complete / completed with issues / failed, with the way back out of a focused session in both cases.

3 — There was no stop. journeyRuns:cancelJourneyRun has been in the backend (membership-gated, idempotent) with no caller — its own docstring says a run launched by mistake could only be waited out. The live strip now has Stop run, behind a confirmation because a stop cannot be undone: the queued sessions never run, so their results never exist. A wave is N journey-runs and the backend cancels one per call, so the calls are allSettled and the report names how many actually stopped rather than claiming the wave on the first success. A CONFLICT from a run that settled between the click and the call is not surfaced as an error — the viewer asked for it stopped, and it is stopped.

One honest limitation, deliberately handled rather than papered over: getSwarmOverview projects status but not the error marker that separates a deliberate stop from a failure, so the wave read settles a stopped run as failed. Telling the person who just pressed Stop that their run Failed, in red, says their action broke something. The page therefore substitutes Stopped from the one piece of positive evidence it has — this viewer stopped it, in this visit — and only for as long as that is trustworthy: a reload has no memory of the click and falls back to what the data supports. Projecting error onto that read is a backend change and a reasonable follow-up; it is not in this PR.

4 — The confirmation reported a count. Now: "New swarm run started — 2 goals" with a View run action. handleRunAgainFromDetail already minted the new wave's swarmRunGroupId (which is its route id) and threw it away; it now returns it, so the action links to the run that was just started instead of leaving the viewer on the one they relaunched from. A parent that cannot name the new wave gets a confirmation with no link, never a dead one.

Plus 1's second half — the finding now states itself. The criterion id rides the URL (?finding=) from both entry points — the create wizard's "Look now" and the Insights findings list — and the run page resolves the label from the wave's own findings: "Following finding: Quick resolution — failed in 4 of 6 graded sessions". An id rather than a sentence, so a renamed or removed criterion degrades to silence instead of a stale claim. The wizard omits it when several checks failed at once, since naming one of several would misreport which claim the viewer is looking at.

And on the list (BB-70's half): a live wave wore the same muted grey dot as everything else. Wave rows now carry an explicit state pill — Running in the run's own accent, with the dot pulsing — so the question a returning viewer arrives with is answered in words.

Tests

11 new cases in SwarmsTab.overview.test.tsx, on the existing harness (extended so it records mutation calls by name and serves the project session feed, without which the focused-session viewer never renders):

  • the outcome is stated on return to a finished run; no live strip
  • the focused session closes when the viewer goes back to the run — fails on main
  • the way back exists on a finished run too
  • the followed finding is named, with its fail/graded counts
  • an unknown criterion produces no banner rather than a stale one
  • Stop cancels every running goal by run id; nothing fires before the confirmation; a refused stop is reported instead of claimed; the viewer who stopped sees Stopped, not Failed
  • the launch confirmation says what happened and its View run action lands on the new wave's path
  • the list row says Running / Complete

npx vitest run client/src/lib/__tests__/app-navigation.test.ts client/src/components/swarms → 425 passed. npx vitest run client/src/components → 6186 passed; the 22 failures (billing, evals, scenarios, sidebar, usage-insights — 9 files) are pre-existing in this workspace and fail identically with the change stashed. Client typecheck clean.

Summary by cubic

Fixes BB-74: keeps the thread of a running swarm. Following a finding was a one-way trip, the way back did nothing visible, a finished run rendered no state, and there was no way to stop a run — all four are now handled.

Navigation and run state

  • The Sessions panel now follows the URL: a URL that no longer names a session closes the focused session; previously "Back to the run" changed the URL but left the session on screen.
  • The state strip always renders and names the outcome — running / complete / completed with issues / failed — and the way back exists on a finished run too.
  • The run page names the finding the viewer followed in: the criterion id rides ?finding= and the label resolves from the wave, so a renamed or removed criterion degrades to no banner instead of a stale claim.
  • The list row's dot derives from the same state as its pill, so a red dot can no longer sit beside a "Running" pill on the same wave.

Stopping runs and relaunching

  • Live runs get a Stop run control behind a confirmation, since queued sessions never run once stopped.
  • Stops call journeyRuns:cancelJourneyRun once per running goal with allSettled; the toast reports how many actually stopped, and a CONFLICT from a run that settled in the meantime is read off its structured code and treated as neither an error nor a success.
  • A genuine refusal outranks the already-settled case in the report, so a mixed wave surfaces the error instead of an informational toast.
  • The viewer who stopped the run sees "Stopped" rather than "Failed", since the wave read cannot tell a deliberate stop from a failure — the substitution holds only until a reload and never carries onto the next wave.
  • The launch confirmation now says "New swarm run started — N goals" with a View run action that lands on the new wave; the action is omitted when a retry reused the previous wave, since no run landed under the new id.
  • Wave rows on the list now carry state pills — Running / Complete — with the Running dot pulsing, instead of sharing the muted grey used for everything else.

Written for commit 61b7a1f. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Four failures in one flow, all of them about losing a run.

1. The way back out of a session did nothing visible. The Sessions panel
   seeded its selection from `?session=` ONCE and never followed the URL
   again, so "Back to the live run" dropped the param, took the button with
   it, and left the session it was asked to leave on screen. Now the panel
   follows the URL: a URL that no longer names a session stops showing one.
   An in-panel click never touches the URL, so it is unaffected.

2. The run page said nothing once the run settled. The state strip is now
   always rendered — running / complete / completed with issues / failed —
   so a returning viewer is told, and the way back out of a focused session
   exists on a finished run too, not only while it happened to still be going.

3. There was no way to stop a run. `journeyRuns:cancelJourneyRun` shipped in
   the backend with no caller; the live strip now has Stop run behind a
   confirmation (a stop cannot be undone — queued sessions never run). A wave
   is N runs and the backend cancels one per call, so the report names how
   many actually stopped. A viewer who stops a run is told "Stopped", not
   "Failed": the marker separating the two is not projected onto this read,
   and painting a stop red says their action broke something.

4. "Started 15 goals" reported an internal count and stranded the viewer on
   the run they had relaunched FROM. It now says a new run started and offers
   the run itself.

A followed finding also states itself: the criterion id rides the URL and the
page resolves the label from the wave, so a viewer who clicked a finding is no
longer handed the evidence with the claim removed.

Fixes BB-74 (and the merged BB-70).

Walkthrough

The swarm interface now supports explicit run-state labels, stop-run confirmation, cancellation of active journeys, terminal session totals, and rerun navigation. Finding selections preserve rubric criterion IDs through session deep links. Clearing a deep-link target resets the selected session. Overview tests cover successful and failed mutations, cancellation flows, stopped states, reruns, finding banners, and run-state labels.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a238c

This change improves swarm navigation, run-state visibility, stopping, and relaunch behavior without any actionable merge-blocking risk remaining.

Consider formatting the fallback label as the findings list does.

When a finding carries no label, this banner renders the raw kind discriminator, so the viewer can read a camelCase identifier such as toolCalledAtLeastOnce. findingName in mcpjam-inspector/client/src/components/swarms/swarm-overview-panel.tsx (lines 81-86) already runs a known kind through formatCriterion, so the same finding reads one way in the findings list and another way here.

Exporting findingName and calling it keeps one phrasing per finding.

Three things worth settling before this goes in. Two of them are places where the description promises behavior the code does not implement; the third is local state that outlives the wave it describes.

The doc comment above says a CONFLICT from a run that settled between the click and the call "is not an error the viewer needs", and the PR description says it twice. The code does not act on it — every rejection lands in failed.

cancelJourneyRun throws CONFLICT whenever run.status !== 'running'. On a one-goal wave whose run settles between render and click, failed === results.length holds and the viewer gets a toast.error carrying the raw ConvexError text after asking to stop a run that is, in their terms, already stopped. The partial branch reports the same run as "1 goal could not be stopped".

Either classify the rejection — CONFLICT counts as stopped, anything else as a real failure — or drop the claim from the comment and the description. CodeRabbit flagged this one too.

Right on both counts, and I took the first option — the comment described behaviour the code never had. Fixed in bc29e32.

Digging into it there were actually three outcomes, not two, so a straight "CONFLICT counts as stopped" would have traded one wrong message for another. cancelJourneyRun refuses any run whose status is no longer running, and its own comment says reporting success for a completed run is materially wrong — which it is: it would also leave the strip reading "Stopped" over a run that succeeded.

So:

  • refused (anything not CONFLICT) → error toast, as before
  • settled (CONFLICT) → not counted in the "could not be stopped" tally
  • all settled, none actually canceledtoast.info("Run had already finished"), and deliberately no setStoppedHere(true)

One thing worth flagging: matching on the message would not have worked. Convex redacts err.message for an application error to a Request-ID string, so the payload on err.data is the only reliable carrier — isRunAlreadySettled reads data.code === "CONFLICT". Same reason the error toast now goes through the existing convexErrMessage helper instead of reason.message; in prod that toast was showing the redacted server string, not the backend text.

Test: does not call a run that finished on its own a failure to stop, throwing the real shape (redacted message + data.code). Asserts info, no error, no success, and that the strip does not settle on stopped.

stoppedHere outlives the wave it was set for. SwarmRunDetail is mounted in SwarmsTab.tsx without key={swarmId}, so moving between waves does not remount and this stays true.

The route is the one this PR just built: stop run A, Run again, "View run", wave B — same component instance. While B runs the dataRunState !== "running" guard holds, but once B settles its strip reads Stopped instead of Complete or Failed. The substitution is meant to hold "only for as long as it is trustworthy", and a different wave is where it stops being.

key={swarmId} on the mount, or a reset on swarmId change, covers it. None of the 11 new tests exercises a wave change.

Confirmed and fixed in bc29e32 — took the key={swarmId} option.

You traced it exactly: no key on the mount in SwarmsTab.tsx, so Run againView run swaps swarmId on the same instance and stoppedHere survives into a wave it was never true for. The dataRunState !== "running" guard hides it only while B is live; once B settles the strip reads Stopped.

Keying the mount rather than resetting just this one piece of state, because every other bit of local state in SwarmRunDetail is wave-scoped too — sessionsPersonaFilter, stopConfirmOpen, stopBusy. A reset on swarmId would have fixed the reported symptom and left the same class of bug in the others.

And you were right that no test covered a wave change. Added does not carry one wave's stop onto the next wave: stops wave A, rerenders the same tree with a different swarmId, settles the runs to failed, and asserts the strip does not read stopped. Fails on the old code.

The description says a parent that cannot name the new wave "gets a confirmation with no link, never a dead one". This returns the freshly minted id unconditionally, and two paths do not put the runs under it:

  • launchJourney caches {launchKey, swarmRunGroupId} per journey in launchKeysRef and deletes it only on a confirmed 2xx. After a failed launch the retry reuses the cached group id and ignores the one minted here — on a single-goal wave that is a "View run" pointing at an id no run carries.
  • already_launching is skipped with continue and records no error, so a wave where every goal is already in flight also returns an id nothing launched under.

It degrades to "Swarm run not found." rather than breaking, so this is minor. Returning the id only when at least one launch actually used it would match the claim.

Both paths are real. Fixed in bc29e32 the way you suggested — return the id only when a launch actually used it.

launchJourney now reports the wave it landed under (pending.swarmRunGroupId, which is the cached one on a retry, not the one the caller passed), and handleRunAgainFromDetail tracks whether any launch came back matching the id it minted. If none did it returns {}, and since the consumer already reads started?.swarmRunGroupId as optional, that renders the confirmation with no action — the "no link, never a dead one" the description claims.

The type is swarmRunGroupId?: string rather than required, because launchKeysRef declares it optional on the cached entry. That also fails safe: undefined !== <minted id>, so an ambiguous case degrades to no link rather than to a guess.

Test: offers no link when the retry lands under the wave it already had. Worth noting the setup, because my first attempt at it passed for the wrong reason — every goal has to fail on the first click. A goal that succeeds hits launchKeysRef.current.delete(journeyId) and drops its cached key, so on the retry it mints a fresh wave after all and the link is correctly offered.

I did not cover already_launching separately — it needs a launch in flight across two clicks, which the harness cannot hold deterministically. Same code path guards it: the goal is skipped, nothing sets landedUnderNewWave, so a wave where every goal is already in flight returns no id.

Four fixes from the review on #4394.

waveStatusDotClass ran its own scan of `status` and tested failed/stale
first, while waveRunState puts running first. A wave with one failed goal
and one still fanning out painted a red dot beside a "Running" pill. The
dot now derives from waveRunState, so there is one source and one answer.

handleStopRun promised in its doc comment that a CONFLICT from a goal that
settled between click and call is not an error, and then counted every
rejection as a failure. Now three outcomes, not two: CONFLICT is neither a
refusal (nothing is running) nor a success (this viewer did not stop it,
and the backend calls claiming otherwise materially wrong for a COMPLETED
goal). Matched on the structured `code` — Convex redacts err.message for
an application error — and the error toast goes through convexErrMessage
for the same reason.

SwarmRunDetail is now keyed by swarmId. Without it, "Run again" then
"View run" swapped swarmId on the same instance and the new wave inherited
the old one's stoppedHere, so a wave that later settled read Stopped.

handleRunAgainFromDetail returned its freshly minted wave id even when no
run landed under it — a retry reuses the cached wave from launchKeysRef,
and an already_launching goal is skipped silently. Both produced a "View
run" link into "Swarm run not found." launchJourney now reports the wave
it actually used, and the id is returned only when one matches.

Four tests, each watched fail against the old code first.

handleStopRun read the already-settled case before the refusals. On a mixed
wave — one goal answering CONFLICT because it finished between the click and
the call, another refusing for real — nothing was canceled, so
`refused.length === results.length` was false and control fell into the
`canceled === 0 && settled.length > 0` branch. The viewer got
toast.info("Run had already finished") and never saw the refusal they have to
act on. That is the same class of wrong message the CONFLICT handling was
added to remove, inverted.

Real refusals now take precedence: nothing canceled plus any genuine refusal
raises the error toast, and the informational case is left to the wave where
every goal settled on its own. `settled` was only ever read to guard that
branch, so it goes.

Test: `reports a refusal even when another goal settled on its own`, watched
fail on the previous ordering with toast.error never called.

Reported by cubic on #4394.

Disclosure first: I pushed aa4b5166 to this branch, the guard-ordering fix for cubic's P2. So this approval covers Fabricio's work and not my own commit — worth a second pair of eyes on that one hunk if anyone wants it.

Re-verified against the current head (a238c596) rather than the revision I reviewed, since main was merged in after. The delta is main's history and the merge commit only: the net diff against main is still exactly the same 10 swarm files at +921/-33, and both my fix and its test survived the merge intact.

Both of my open threads are closed in code, not just in the replies:

  • stoppedHere outliving its wave — key={swarmId} is on the SwarmRunDetail mount in SwarmsTab.tsx, with the reasoning in a comment. Keying the mount rather than resetting the one field is the better call: sessionsPersonaFilter, stopConfirmOpen and stopBusy are all wave-scoped too, so a targeted reset would have left the same class of bug in the neighbours. Covered by does not carry one wave's stop onto the next wave.
  • The dead "View run" link — landedUnderNewWave gates the return, and if (!landedUnderNewWave) return {} gives the confirmation with no action the description promised. Covered by offers no link when the retry lands under the wave it already had. already_launching is not separately tested, and the reason given holds: the same branch guards it, and holding a launch in flight across two clicks is not something the harness does deterministically.

CI is green on this head — 15 checks passed, 6 skipped, none red.

One thread is still open and does not need code: cubic's P2 on SwarmsSessionsPanel.tsx:183. Its premise is correct — the reset never fires from a URL change, because SwarmsTab.tsx:300 parses the deep link with useMemo(..., []) on purpose, commented "Parse ONCE on mount so later user navigation isn't clobbered by the URL." Subscribing the parent to the live session param is the change cubic asks for, and it would reintroduce exactly what that comment is guarding against. Leaving the deliberate behaviour and answering the thread is the right resolution.

Note for whoever merges: this is BEHIND again, because #4439 landed on main after the merge here.

Five conflicts, all in the swarms surface where main's #4392/#4394 met this
branch's Findings work:

- SwarmsSessionsPanel: took main's fix for a URL that no longer names a
  session (it left the old session on screen, which is what made "Back to the
  live run" look inert). Dropped its `initialPagesPulledRef` reset — this
  branch retired that counter for the per-feed `autoPagesLoaded` budget, and
  clearing `appliedInitialRef` already re-arms paging for a new deep link.

- new-swarm-running-step: kept this branch's removal of the footer hint and
  finding banner. Main's banner would have rendered a SECOND copy with the
  same test ids, since this branch moved it to the top as FirstFindingPing.

- The ping's button now opens the session behind the finding, with the
  criterion, rather than calling onLeave (main's BB-74). "Open findings"
  beside it keeps the route to Findings, so the two stop being duplicates.

- swarm-run-detail: took main's widened onRunAgain return, the criterion in
  the session URL, and the toast that offers the run it just started. Kept
  this branch's removal of ActionableFindings / SwarmWaveFindingsList /
  onOpenPersona, which the PR retires. Imported only the helpers the merged
  file uses, and restored the Popover import the auto-merge dropped.

Verified on the merged tree: typecheck clean, 22545 tests pass.
