From a5dcc60d7ee110a9e173b014caca42697d7b4a71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Ferquel's Clanker Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 09:48:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] fix(runtime): drain steerQueue at top of RunStream loop to close idle-window race The steer queue was only drained mid-loop (after tool-call batches). Two gaps allowed steer messages to be silently dropped: 1. Idle-window race: a Steer call lands between two RunStream invocations; the queue holds the message but nothing drains it when the next RunStream starts. 2. First-turn miss: when a RunStream turn produces a plain-text response with no tool calls, res.Stopped fires before the mid-loop drain is reached; the pending steer message is never injected. Fix: drain steerQueue at the top of the for-loop body (before the first model call) using the same pattern as the existing mid-loop drain. Also extract the duplicate system-reminder wrap string into wrapSteerMessage so the two drain sites cannot drift apart. Also handles the empty-session bootstrap case: a RunStream started with zero messages but steer messages already queued injects those messages before the first model call, giving the model its initial context.
