The host used to ship the entire transcript inside a single welcome
frame, so a multi-MB session spent the guest's 30s first-welcome
timeout on the relay transfer itself: ~1.3 MB took ~3s, ~4.2 MB took
~12s, and ~13.6 MB never arrived before the guest gave up with
'timed out waiting for the host's welcome'.
Bump COLLAB_PROTO to 2 and split the welcome:
- welcome carries metadata only (header, state, agents, entryCount,
readOnly) and lands in well under one second.
- a train of snapshot-chunk frames (SNAPSHOT_CHUNK_BYTES = 512 KB,
oversize entries ship alone) carries the transcript. Last chunk
flips final: true; an empty snapshot still emits one final chunk.
- the host queues welcome + chunks synchronously inside #handleHello,
preserving the host comment's ordering invariant (later broadcast
frames cannot interleave between them).
- the TUI guest accumulates chunks under a SNAPSHOT_PROGRESS_TIMEOUT_MS
that resets per chunk; only after final does it write the replica
jsonl, switchSession, and render. The first-welcome timeout still
guards arrival of the small welcome.
- the collab-web GuestClient streams entries into the snapshot as
chunks arrive and flips phase to 'live' on final.
Includes a contract test (in-process relay) asserting the welcome is
metadata-only, the chunk train fans the 1.5 MB synthetic transcript
across multiple frames with only the last marked final, and the
flattened entries match the source snapshot.
Fixes#3144
- Replaced queued-message interrupt flow with session abort calls on empty submit and escape.
- Removed interrupting state and notifyInterrupting teardown paths from abort handling.
- Updated AgentSession queue operations to use shared steering and follow-up queue views.
- Propagated isAborting through session state and collab payloads to suppress late updates.
- Re-polled steering at the loop yield boundary and included it in the pre-stop pending batch so late messages are processed immediately.
- Added session-side draining for stranded queued messages, scheduling an auto-continue when a prompt settles and follow-ups or steers remain.
- Added a regression test for late steering injection at yield and updated mid-turn collab prompt handling to keep steering messages in the pending display queue until consumed.
