Problem

An agent that owes a reply can end, fail, stop, block on another peer, or await the human without the original waiter receiving an authoritative explanation.

Solution

Add a J5-owned, typed silence detector that derives notices from durable orchestration lifecycle facts and routes them through A2's existing delivery pipeline. The delivery path gains a persisted, fail-closed envelope channel so platform notices use the stable silence-notice rendering rather than peer-message formatting.

Behavior changes

Waiters receive durable silence.notice ledger events for the five planned states. Notices inform without closing exchanges, and silence delivery failures use the normal visible-alarm path. Lifecycle observation resumes from a durable cursor with bounded retry backoff.

Changes

  • Add detector derivation, durable cursor/recovery, and retry/backoff controls.
  • Add explicit peer | silence_notice delivery-channel persistence and fail-closed rendering selection.
  • Keep the unmerged A3 migration fresh-install-only: new payloads and events require an explicit envelope channel; no historical-row compatibility, backfill, or legacy decoding is modeled.
  • Add focused lifecycle, delivery, migration, and negative-control coverage.

Testing

  • Focused J5 A2A suite: 10 files / 52 tests
  • Targeted formatting, lint, and server typecheck
  • Independent pre-PR review, including discriminating negative controls for lifecycle derivation, bounded resume, delivery rendering, retry backoff, and deterministic notice identity

Follow-up

FINAL E2E acceptance is held pending registrar/A6 real wrapper-path re-proof. This PR certifies A3 derivation, wiring, and scoped integration only; it does not add production membership provisioning or registrar/A6 behavior.

Walkthrough

The A2A pipeline now stores explicit delivery envelope channels and supports platform-authored silence notices. A2ASilenceDetector derives notices from delivery and lifecycle events, persists them idempotently, tracks progress with a durable cursor, and runs through the shared runtime.

Changes

A2A silence detection and delivery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Channel contracts and persistence
apps/server/src/j5/a2a/contracts.ts, apps/server/src/j5/a2a/migrations/*, apps/server/src/j5/a2a/Migrations.ts, apps/server/src/j5/a2a/LedgerService.ts, apps/server/src/j5/a2a/SendService.ts, apps/server/src/j5/a2a/*test.ts
Delivery payloads now require an envelope channel. Migration 4 adds the constrained delivery column and singleton detector cursor. Ledger projections persist the channel, and peer sends set it explicitly.
Envelope-aware delivery
apps/server/src/j5/a2a/DeliveryTransport.ts, apps/server/src/j5/a2a/DeliveryWorker.ts, apps/server/src/j5/a2a/DeliveryTransport.*test.ts
The worker forwards persisted channels. Transport formatting preserves peer and human envelopes, while silence notices bypass wrapping and use system attribution.
Silence notice detection and persistence
apps/server/src/j5/a2a/SilenceDetector.ts, apps/server/src/j5/a2a/SilenceDetector.test.ts
The detector classifies failed, stopped, incomplete, human-dependent, blocked, and unprocessed exchanges. It persists notices idempotently and processes delivery, lifecycle, and reconciliation paths.
Detector cursor and runtime orchestration
apps/server/src/j5/a2a/runtimeLayer.ts, apps/server/src/j5/a2a/runtimeLayer.test.ts, apps/server/src/j5/a2a/index.ts, apps/server/src/j5/a2a/README.md
The detector resumes from a durable event cursor, retries subscriptions with capped backoff, and runs in the shared runtime. Public exports and operational documentation were updated.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90+ minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 04012

The delivery-channel migration can fail on installations with existing delivery rows, preventing schema upgrades, while an unscoped membership join may suppress or duplicate notices. Merge should be blocked until these bounded correctness and deployment risks are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Both thread-projection mocks bypass the type contract with as unknown as. Each mock casts a partial literal to OrchestrationV2ThreadProjection, which suppresses type checking on runs and turnItems, the two fields the detector reads.

Add direct coverage for reconcileOpenExchanges.

The suite exercises handleStoredEvent and handleDeliveryEvent thoroughly. It never calls reconcileOpenExchanges directly. That path holds the most complex SQL in the detector: the correlated MAX(seq) subquery, the envelope_channel = 'peer' filter, and the human-receiver exclusion in SilenceDetector.ts on Lines 461-492. The daemon test reaches it only through boot initialization, where no open exchange has a matching delivered event yet.

A test that seeds several open exchanges with delivered events, then calls reconcileOpenExchanges, would pin the row selection and confirm that only the latest delivery per exchange produces a notice.

Make retry/backoff coverage deterministic and complete.

  • The test at Lines 459-460 advances the clock after firstFailureObserved, but the retry sleep may not yet be registered, allowing the test to hang until timeout. Wait until the retry sleep is pending or use streamCalls to observe resubscription before advancing the clock.
  • The backoff assertions cover 250 ms, 500 ms, and 1000 ms but not the 30 s cap. Extend the failure sequence and assert that consecutive capped delays remain 30 s.

659-677: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

A burst of delivery failures triggers one full reconciliation scan per event.

The catch branch on Line 662 runs reconcileOpenExchangesRaw() for every event whose silence check fails. reconcileOpenExchangesRaw scans all open delivered exchanges and calls threads.getThreadProjection once per row. A transient database or projection fault affects consecutive events, so the recovery path multiplies load while the dependency is already degraded.

Consider debouncing the recovery scan. A single latch or a scheduled reconcile fiber keeps recovery bounded to one scan per interval regardless of the failure count.

The channel filter on Line 445 correctly prevents the detector from reacting to its own silence_notice deliveries, so no feedback loop exists here.

318-324: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add an exhaustiveness guard for unknown run statuses.

The switch enumerates the current OrchestrationV2RunStatus members. If the contract adds a status, the switch falls through and deriveNotice returns undefined. appendNotice then calls decodeSilenceNotice(undefined) and the daemon enters a retry loop. A never assertion in a default branch converts that drift into a compile error.

Also prefer Effect.die over throw inside the generator, to keep the failure explicit in Effect terms.

Confirmed real, and closing as accepted risk rather than fixing it.

The mechanism is exactly as described, and it reproduced independently during review before this comment was posted. Against the real pre-A3 j5_a2a_delivery DDL: an empty table accepts the ADD COLUMN, and a table with one row throws Cannot add a NOT NULL column with default value NULL (node:sqlite, SQLite 3.53.4).

The project has ruled that A3 supports only the empty A1–A2 to A3 upgrade. This fork is pre-release with no installations carrying delivery rows, so the populated-table path is declared out of scope: no DEFAULT value, no backfill step, and no table rebuild. That ruling is the reason this stays as a checked TEXT NOT NULL with no default, and the migration test now runs migrations 001 to 003, asserts j5_a2a_delivery is empty, and only then applies 004 — so the supported boundary is enforced by a test rather than assumed.

Recording the consequence plainly, since the decision is deliberate rather than an oversight: if an environment ever does hold delivery rows when this migration runs, the J5 migration lane fails at startup, and no diagnostic explains why. That trade is understood and owned at the project level.

Both suggested remedies are correct SQLite advice and would be the right call for a released schema. They are declined here only because the supported upgrade path is defined as empty.

@Jacksondr5, understood. The finding is valid, but the project has explicitly limited the supported upgrade path to an empty j5_a2a_delivery table.

The migration test documents and enforces that boundary. The populated-table failure remains an accepted risk for this pre-release fork. No code change is requested.

Learning: For the J5 A2A migration `apps/server/src/j5/a2a/migrations/004_SilenceNoticeChannel.ts`, the supported A1–A2 to A3 upgrade path requires an empty `j5_a2a_delivery` table. The migration deliberately adds `envelope_channel TEXT NOT NULL` without a default, backfill, or table rebuild. If delivery rows exist, SQLite migration startup failure is an explicitly accepted pre-release project risk.
