Provider streams and browser CDP calls can remain pending after cancellation, preventing Stop from settling the local run. The fixed five-minute Code Mode deadline also prevents legitimate longer operations from completing.

This change makes provider iterator waits, browser readiness and CDP waits, and utility-process startup observe cancellation. Provider cleanup cannot block cancellation, abandoned utility processes are reclaimed, and late results cannot dispatch more work, change the session store, or report successful browser activity.

  • Add optional run_code.timeout_ms, defaulting to 300000 ms, and the equivalent Code Mode exec pragma.
  • Document in the schema, tool descriptions, and SDK prompts that routine calls omit the parameter; the model supplies a larger value only when it expects an operation to exceed five minutes.
  • Validate timeout values before dispatch. The limit applies to one cell, does not reset on yield or continuation, and does not extend individual subtool timeouts.
  • Keep explicit cancellation independent of the selected duration, without adding an idle timeout or a whole-run deadline.

Cancellation ends local execution and waiting; it does not roll back browser or external operations already dispatched. No UI layout or dependency changes.

Validation passed:

  • pnpm run format, pnpm run format:check, pnpm run i18n, pnpm run lint, and pnpm run typecheck.
  • 407 main-process tests across 13 relevant suites, plus all three ChatPage stop-request tests.
  • Regression coverage includes a ten-minute cell timeout, silent provider/CDP cancellation, startup races, and late completion handling. Timing cases use fake clocks and browser integration cases use mocked Electron boundaries.

Closes #2221

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional execution timeouts for Code Mode, configurable through run_code and exec.
    • Timeouts default to five minutes and support validated custom values up to approximately 24.8 days.
    • Added clear guidance describing timeout behavior, limits, and cancellation precedence.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved cancellation for stalled code execution, browser actions, and provider responses.
    • Prevented late results from continuing after cancellation or triggering unintended actions.
    • Ensured browser operations stop promptly when canceled.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds abort propagation across provider and browser operations. It adds bounded timeout_ms support to Code Mode inputs, prompts, parsing, and cell execution. Tests cover cancellation, timeout overrides, cleanup, and invalid values.

Changes

Cancellation and Code Mode timeouts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider iterator cancellation
src/main/agent/deepchat/loop/contextCoordinator.ts, test/main/agent/deepchat/loop/contextCoordinator.test.ts, docs/issues/agent-cancellation-code-timeout/spec.md
Provider iteration now observes abort signals, closes incomplete streams, and records one aborted attempt.
Browser tool cancellation
src/main/desktop/browser/*, src/main/tool/agentTools/agentToolManager.ts, src/main/tool/runtimePorts.ts, test/main/desktop/browser/*, test/main/tool/agentTools/agentToolManagerYoBrowser.test.ts
Abort signals flow through browser tool calls and interrupt readiness, navigation, session, probe, and CDP waits.
Code Mode timeout contract and parsing
src/shared/codeModeProtocol.ts, src/main/tool/index.ts, src/main/tool/codeMode/toolModeTools.ts, test/main/tool/toolService.test.ts, test/main/tool/codeMode/toolModeTools.test.ts, docs/features/experimental-tool-modes/spec.md
Both Code Mode frontends accept bounded timeout_ms values, document the behavior, and forward resolved values to execution.
Code cell deadline and host cancellation
src/main/tool/codeMode/runCodeRuntimeManager.ts, test/main/tool/codeMode/runCodeRuntimeManager.test.ts
Cells use individual deadlines. Host startup and late cell messages now respond to cancellation and termination.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 70fb3

The PR changes cancellation and code-timeout behavior, while the only remaining issue is a localized formatting cleanup. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Review verdict: APPROVED (no blocking issues)

Reviewed head 70fb36c4aa1599282db8638d5b7496696f7ae3d1 (merge-base diff vs dev, 20 files, +874/−124). Full review performed on a local checkout of the PR branch.

Scope

Two related improvements bundled: (1) agent stop/cancellation signal now propagates into YoBrowser page operations (navigate / CDP send), code-mode host spawn/readiness, and provider stream consumption (#2221); (2) run_code/exec gain an optional timeout_ms (default 5 min, cap 2^31−1) replacing the hard-coded cell deadline.

Verification

  • vitest run on the 8 touched suites: 284/284 passed (BrowserTab, YoBrowserPresenter/ToolHandler, runCodeRuntimeManager, toolModeTools, toolService, contextCoordinator, agentToolManagerYoBrowser).
  • pnpm lint, oxfmt --check clean. typecheck failures are all in renderer markdownWorkerLifecycle.ts / markstream-vue — pre-existing on current dev, untouched by this PR.
  • Spec updated (docs/features/experimental-tool-modes/spec.md) consistently with the implementation.

Correctness notes (non-blocking)

  1. Aborted navigation leaves the tab in LoadingBrowserTab.navigateUntilDomReady throws on abort after beginMainFrameNavigation() has already flipped state (BrowserTab.ts:78-96); the underlying loadURL is not cancelled and markNavigationError is not reached. Tab stays Loading/awaitingMainFrameInteractive until the real navigation event lands. Display-only drift, matches the "no side effects after abort" tests, but worth a follow-up if a cancelled load can stay stale for long.
  2. Non-aborted generator close can still hangcontextCoordinator.ts observeProviderAttempt guards the aborted case with fire-and-forget closing.catch(), but if the observation body itself throws while stream.next() is pending and the signal is not aborted, the finally awaits return() unconditionally; a provider generator that never settles its pending next() hangs this path (the code comment acknowledges return() can wait forever, but the guard only covers abort).
  3. RESULT-after-stopping is now unconditionally swallowed — the new handleCellMessage early-return (runCodeRuntimeManager.ts:773) drops a settled RESULT for a cell that was stopped, even one without pendingHostSettlement. Dev already ignored messages for terminal cells and abort rejection handles the waiter, so this is safe today; just noting the settlement-buffer drain order is what makes it so.
  4. Legacy exec without pragma is tightened from ∞ to 5 min — previously pragma-less exec cells used the fixed 5-minute deadline too, so behavior is unchanged; the new default/cap only loosens it. Spec'd as intentional.

Style/consistency

  • timeout_ms validation reuses readBoundedCodeModeNumber and the shared protocol constants; prompt/SDK/spec descriptions stay in sync (covered by the new contract test).
  • AgentBrowserToolPort signature extension is additive; YoBrowserToolHandler is its only implementation (wired in composition.ts), and the non-agent fallback path intentionally stays signal-less.
  • Tests target real cancellation races (late RESULT discard, listener leak, post-abort dispatch), not implementation details. No over-engineering or excessive test surface.
  • No breaking changes: all new parameters optional, additive ports, spec-documented.

Nice piece of work on the spawn-abandonment cleanup (spawnReadyHost killing the abandoned host on late abort) — that's exactly the fiddly part usually missed.
