The stale-load guard (#3993 Codex race fix) adds an early at the top
of the loadSession catch block; the test helper anchored on the first
after the catch, which now truncated at the guard. Anchor the body
extraction past the guard (from ) so it captures the 404/non-404
self-heal body as before. Behavior unchanged.
currentSid is snapshotted before the awaited /api/session fetch; if the user
clicks a healthy session while a boot-time restore is in flight and that boot
load then fails non-404, _clearStuckSessionOnBoot(sid, null) would wipe the
healthy session's localStorage/URL. Guard the catch block on
_loadingSessionId !== sid (a newer load superseded this one) — re-arm the active
stream and bail before any self-heal/DOM mutation. Protects both the non-404 and
404 inline self-heal paths. + regression test.
Refined the Codex-CORE fix: the happy-path (already-stored session) guard rejects
only an explicit read_only flag — a stored messaging session already owns its
sidecar, so the messaging-fork risk is specific to the materialize FALLBACK
(which creates a sidecar) where the _is_messaging_session_record check stays.
Also completed test_issue1436's _stub_session MagicMock (read_only=False,
_loaded_metadata_only=False) — bare MagicMock auto-attrs were truthy, tripping
the new read-only guard + _ensure_full_session_before_mutation reload.
Codex caught two data-integrity gaps in the contributor's guard: (1) the
get_session() happy path returned a stored session without checking read_only/
messaging, so an already-imported read-only session could be mutated via
rename/update/move; (2) the fallback only checked cli_meta.read_only, but agent
rows normalize messaging sources WITHOUT setting read_only — materializing a
writable sidecar for a state.db-owned messaging session forks its title/state.
Now reject getattr(s,'read_only') OR _is_messaging_session_record on the happy
path, and cli_meta.read_only OR _is_messaging_session_record(cli_meta) in the
fallback. Replaced the messaging-stub test with 3 regression tests (stored
read-only, stored messaging, messaging cli_meta without read_only flag).
Two scroll-state bugs cause the viewport to snap to the bottom after
streaming completes, even when the user has scrolled up to read:
1. _scrollAfterMessageRender (ui.js): when preserveScroll=true and
_scrollPinned=true (re-set by the 250px near-bottom hysteresis),
_followMessagesAfterDomReplace() calls scrollToBottom(), overriding
the user's position. Added !_messageUserUnpinned guard so explicitly
scrolled-up users get their snapshot restored instead.
2. _finishDone (messages.js): the explicit scrollToBottom() at L3302
fires when shouldFollowOnDone is true, but that flag only checks a
120px near-bottom threshold. Added _isMessagePaneNearBottom(250)
gate so users reading 250px+ above bottom keep their position.
Also adds a new 'auto_scroll_follow' setting (default: off) that gates
scrollIfPinned() and _shouldFollowMessagesOnDomReplace(). When disabled,
the viewport never auto-scrolls during streaming — the user controls
scroll position manually and uses the ↓ button to jump to bottom.
7-file setting-add pattern applied:
- api/config.py: _SETTINGS_DEFAULTS + _SETTINGS_BOOL_KEYS
- static/boot.js: both init paths
- static/ui.js: scrollIfPinned() + _shouldFollowMessagesOnDomReplace()
- static/index.html: checkbox in appearance settings
- static/i18n.js: en + zh-CN translations
- static/panels.js: payload, autosave, populate, full save
- messages.js: no additional changes (gated via _shouldFollowMessagesOnDomReplace)
Tests updated: test_tars_scroll_reset_regressions, test_issue1690,
test_issue3545. All 116 scroll-related tests pass.
