From 91902d6bf221cb927142ea41323526dd4a158889 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Anderson Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 12:58:44 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] fix(sessions): resolve blockers and warnings in handle_session_approve BLOCKER 1 (sessions.el, modern path): Add guard that rejects allow action when tool_name is missing from the body. Previously, omitting tool_name caused dispatch_tool("", ...) to return "unknown tool: " and silently inject a corrupted tool_result into the conversation. BLOCKER 2 (sessions.el, modern path): Stop re-executing client-side tools server-side. When the client provides body["content"], use it directly as the tool result (matching the handle_tool_result contract). Only fall back to dispatch_tool for builtin tools when no content is present. Non-builtin tools with no client content now return a clear error instead of a broken dispatch attempt. WARNING 1 (chat.el, agentic_loop): Wire always_allow_ state into the bridge-suspension decision. When a tool is in the session's always-allow list, treat it as locally dispatchable (like a builtin) and skip the bridge pause, so the approval UI is never shown again for that tool in that session. WARNING 2 (sessions.el, legacy path): Read a "tools_variant" field from the legacy pending blob when present, and call the corresponding agentic_tools_*() variant on resume. Falls back to agentic_tools_literal() for blobs written before this field existed. tests/test_sessions_approve.el: Add 10-case test suite covering: - empty session_id / missing call_id / missing action guards - no pending tool returns correct error - missing tool_name on allow returns error (BLOCKER 1) - deny action does not require tool_name - legacy call_id mismatch returns mismatch error - always action records tool_name in always_allow state - allow with client content skips re-execution (BLOCKER 2) --- chat.el | 8 +- sessions.el | 44 ++++++- tests/test_sessions_approve.el | 227 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 274 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/test_sessions_approve.el diff --git a/chat.el b/chat.el index 3e7f903..64daab2 100644 --- a/chat.el +++ b/chat.el @@ -691,7 +691,13 @@ fn agentic_loop(session_id: String, model: String, safe_sys: String, tools_json: // A real tool turn that targets a tool the soul cannot run in-process is a // CLIENT bridge: suspend the loop and hand the tool to the client. let is_tool_turn: Bool = str_eq(stop_reason, "tool_use") && has_tool - let needs_bridge: Bool = is_tool_turn && !is_builtin_tool(tool_name) + // If the user previously chose "always allow" for this tool in this session, + // treat it like a builtin — run server-side via dispatch_tool and skip the + // bridge suspension entirely so the approval UI is never shown again. + let always_key: String = "always_allow_" + session_id + let always_list: String = if !str_eq(session_id, "") { state_get(always_key) } else { "" } + let is_always_allowed: Bool = !str_eq(tool_name, "") && !str_eq(always_list, "") && str_contains(always_list, tool_name) + let needs_bridge: Bool = is_tool_turn && !is_builtin_tool(tool_name) && !is_always_allowed // Built-in tools dispatch locally; bridged tools yield "" (never sent upstream). let tool_result_raw: String = if is_tool_turn && !needs_bridge { dispatch_tool(tool_name, tool_input) } else { "" } diff --git a/sessions.el b/sessions.el index ee2da70..14a2217 100644 --- a/sessions.el +++ b/sessions.el @@ -503,13 +503,42 @@ fn handle_session_approve(session_id: String, body: String) -> String { true } else { false } + // BLOCKER: tool_name is required for allow — an empty approve_tool_name + // would cause dispatch_tool("", ...) to silently return "unknown tool: " + // and inject a corrupted result into the conversation.
