Summary

When an AI provider encounters rate or usage limits, threads previously paused until the reset window expired or required manual intervention. This PR implements automatic and configurable AI agent fallback when usage limits are reached, integrating fallback configuration directly inside the redesigned Model Selection Panel and supporting both Auto failover and specific model targets (e.g. GPT-6.1-Sol, Codex, Claude Agent).

Demo & Verification Video

Key Features & Changes

1. Model Selection Panel UI/UX Redesign (apps/web)

  • Integrated Fallback Configuration Inside Panel: Relocated fallback configuration from a standalone chip on the chat composer into the model selection popover.
  • Dedicated Footer Bar (ModelPickerFallbackFooter): Added a full-width footer in ModelPickerContent that shows the active fallback status (Off, Auto, or specific model like GPT-6.1-Sol) and provides a dropdown menu to configure fallback options.
  • 1-Click Row Assignment (ModelListRow): Added a fallback shield button directly on each model row beside the favorite star, enabling 1-click fallback assignment with visual Fallback status badges.
  • Authenticated Provider Filtering: Fallback options only display and accept installed, ready, and authenticated providers (auth.status !== "unauthenticated"), preventing failed handoffs.
  • Composer Toolbar Cleanup: Removed the toolbar-breaking fallback button from the composer bar, replacing it with a subtle fallback shield icon indicator and tooltip summary on the primary model trigger button.

2. Contracts & Protocol (packages/contracts)

  • Added OrchestrationV2FallbackSelection schema ({ mode: 'auto' } | { mode: 'specific', modelSelection: ModelSelection }).
  • Extended thread metadata, thread creation, and thread shell schemas with optional fallbackModelSelection.
  • Added fallbackTriggered: boolean tracking to limit recovery state to prevent duplicate failover loops.

3. Server Recovery Worker (apps/server)

  • Updated UsageLimitRecoveryWorker to automatically detect when a rate-limited thread has a fallback model configured.
  • Dispatches model switch (thread.model-selection.set) and continuation prompt (message.dispatch), leveraging T3 Code's cross-provider handoff engine (create_with_handoff with full_thread_summary) to seamlessly resume context with the fallback model.

4. Dynamic Model Resolver (packages/shared)

  • Implemented resolveFallbackModelSelection in model.ts to dynamically pick an available, authenticated provider driver (Claude Agent, Codex, Antigravity, Grok) for auto mode and validate specific targets.
  • Filters out disabled, unavailable, not-ready, and unauthenticated providers.

5. Review Feedback Addressed

  • Escaped SQL identifiers in projection store queries.
  • Ensured fallback selection persists across thread creation and draft changes without stale state leakage.
  • Validated thread launch types and continuation prompts.

Verification & Testing

  • Contracts: corepack pnpm --filter @t3tools/contracts test passing (schema validation for fallback selection).
  • Shared: corepack pnpm --filter @t3tools/shared test passing (all 93 files, 1470 tests including model resolution).
  • Client Runtime: corepack pnpm --filter @t3tools/client-runtime test passing (all 126 files, 1977 tests).
  • Web UI: corepack pnpm --filter @t3tools/web test passing (all 78 chat test suites, 875 tests passing, including FallbackModelPicker.test.tsx and ProviderModelPicker.test.tsx).
  • Typecheck & Linter: Passed full tsc --noEmit, vp lint, and vp fmt.

🟠 High orchestration-v2/UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.ts:135

A failed thread.model-selection.set is recovered by catchCause, so this sweep still dispatches the continuation on the original limited model; the earlier arm has also persisted fallbackTriggered: true, preventing later sweeps from retrying. A failed message.dispatch is likewise swallowed and leaves recovery marked consumed without a continuation. Stop the sequence and keep the fallback eligible for retry until the continuation succeeds.

Fallback switching never runs for usage-limit failures when both autoResumeLimitedThreads and snoozeLimitedThreads are disabled, and armed recoveries are not considered until their reset is due. getLimitRecoveryCandidates filters candidates using those preferences and reset time, so fallback processing cannot handle them independently; select fallback-enabled failures separately from reset-recovery candidates.

This change adds fallback model selection to threads and the chat composer. It also adds fallback model switching to usage-limit recovery through a banner action and worker processing.

Changes

Fallback Model Selection and Recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define fallback selection and resolution
packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts, packages/shared/src/model.ts, packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.test.ts, packages/shared/src/model.test.ts
Contracts define automatic and specific fallback selections and allow fallback-triggered recovery updates. The shared resolver selects a fallback model from available provider instances. Tests cover contract decoding and resolver behavior.
Persist fallback selection on threads
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadLifecycleService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadLaunchService.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.ts
Thread creation and metadata updates accept fallback selections. Thread shells expose the stored selection. Client and server updates preserve the distinction between omitted values and explicit null.
Select and save fallback in the composer
apps/web/src/components/chat/FallbackModelPicker.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/FallbackModelPicker.test.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx
The composer offers off, automatic, and specific-model choices. It uses thread settings when available, keeps draft state otherwise, and saves changes for an active thread. Picker tests check rendered selection labels.
Switch models during usage-limit recovery
apps/web/src/components/chat/UsageLimitRecoveryBanner.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderTurnControlService.test.ts, apps/server/src/scheduling/Scheduler.integration.test.ts
The recovery banner supports a fallback action. The chat view resolves the selection and starts a continuation when a target exists. The worker finds eligible candidates, switches models, dispatches a continuation, and records fallback as triggered.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 08664

Fallback selections are forwarded and persisted on supported thread paths, and the inspected recovery flow avoids the previously identified marker and unavailable-action issues. No actionable current-head risk remains; the change is mergeable subject to normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 08664

Automatic fallback can change the active provider and mark recovery as triggered without restarting work, leaving affected conversations paused and suppressing subsequent automatic recovery. The demonstrated impact is limited to conversations with fallback configured; broader security coverage remains incomplete.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · observed: The automatic fallback transition durably switches the thread provider before invoking a continuation that requires the failed run's original provider and matching armed recovery identity. When those checks fail, continuation succeeds as a metadata-only no-op. The worker nevertheless records fallbackTriggered=true and disables auto-resume, leaving the thread switched but uncontinued and excluding it from subsequent fallback attempts. Separate command commits also permit interruption to retain the switch without completing recovery. This is an introduced failure-containment and state-ownership defect, not a demonstrated security bypass.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The new automatic path scans configured threads whose latest executed run failed with a usage limit. Selection excludes deleted, archived, settled and pending-request threads, and suppresses fallback already marked for that run. This establishes thread-local eligibility, not a tenant-wide or environment-wide security boundary.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The automatic continuation retains checks for failed-run identity, recovery request identity, provider ownership, reset timing and pending requests. The new caller fails those checks rather than bypassing them. Separately, the manual fallback action supplies a target selection and manual continuation identity following an explicit user action.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Per-command idempotency contains duplicate execution, but successful dispatch is not proof that recovery restarted work. Treating an accepted no-op as terminal success creates durable control-state drift that can survive restart and require manual intervention.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Represent fallback as a failed-run-scoped transition with explicit target authorization, stale-state validation and a persisted continuation outcome. Make provider selection and continuation atomic where possible, or provide resumable phases and compensation. Preserve existing trust checks and mark fallback complete only after actual continuation acceptance.

Preserve fallbackTriggered when merging recovery updates.

If a fallback was triggered and a later recovery update changes autoResume or snooze for the same run, this object drops fallbackTriggered. The recovery worker checks that field before attempting another fallback. Restore it from previousRecovery when the update omits it, as the merge already does for autoResume and snooze.

Updates & Review Fixes

All review items identified by CodeRabbit and Macroscope have been addressed in commit 85373b891f:

  1. Catalog-Aware Fallback Resolver (@t3tools/shared):

    • Updated resolveFallbackModelSelection to accept configured provider instances (FallbackCatalogCandidate / ServerProvider / ProviderInstanceEntry).
    • Automatically filters out inactive, uninstalled, and unavailable instances, choosing the actual configured instanceId (e.g. custom instances like claude_work) rather than a hardcoded driver kind slug.
    • Preserves driver preferences and returns null when no usable alternative exists.
    • Added unit test suite covering specific, auto, and catalog-filtering behaviors in model.test.ts.
  2. Server Fallback Candidate Selection & Execution (apps/server / @t3tools/contracts):

    • Added dedicated getFallbackRecoveryCandidates in ProjectionStore to select fallback-eligible failures independently of autoResume/snooze preferences and reset windows.
    • Applied full eligibility guards (status === 'failed', lastErrorClass === 'usage_limit', non-archived, non-settled, no pending runtime requests).
    • Sequenced the model switch, resume message (with usageLimitContinuationOfRunId: thread.latestRunId), and arming dispatches so that any failure terminates the sequence, is logged once, and leaves the thread eligible for subsequent sweep retry until continuation succeeds.
    • Preserved fallbackTriggered when merging metadata in Orchestrator.ts.
    • Forwarded fallbackModelSelection through thread launch bootstrapping.
  3. Front-End Chat & Composer Improvements (apps/web):

    • Fixed ProviderInstanceIcon invocation in FallbackModelPicker.tsx by passing required displayName and accentColor and removing unsupported instanceId.
    • Updated onFallbackNow in ChatView.tsx to pass fallbackTarget as modelSelection with dispatchMode: 'start', handle command failures with squashAtomCommandFailure, and provide provider instances to the resolver.
    • Ensured draft selection updates are preserved in ChatComposer and forwarded to thread creation on initial send.
    • Added error toasts for failed metadata updates in onFallbackSelectionChange.
    • Updated UsageLimitRecoveryBanner to always display the "Switch to Fallback Agent" action even when there is no reset time or an expired reset.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Show the fallback action only when a fallback target exists.

ChatView always passes onFallbackNow, so the banner always shows "Switch to Fallback Agent". The callback falls back to { mode: "auto" } when the thread has no fallback configured. If resolveFallbackModelSelection then returns null, the callback returns without an error. The click does nothing, and the user gets no feedback.

Fix: resolve the target in ChatView and pass onFallbackNow only when the target is non-null. As an alternative, throw an error with a message such as "No fallback agent available" when no target exists.

CodeRabbit Review Fixes

All review comments have been resolved and verified with tests and linter:

  1. SQL Quoting in ProjectionStore (apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts):

    • Added single quotes to all string literals ('queued', 'cancelled', 'failed', 'error', 'usage_limit', 'settled', 'pending') and JSON path expressions in getFallbackRecoveryCandidates so SQLite parses them as values/paths rather than column identifiers.
  2. Replay Recovery Candidate Filter (apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts):

    • Moved the fallback triggered / latestRunId check into the post-projection shell filter (threadShellFromProjection) where latestRunId is actually defined on ThreadShell.
  3. ThreadLaunchInput Type (apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadLaunchService.ts):

    • Added readonly fallbackModelSelection?: OrchestrationV2FallbackSelection | null | undefined; to ThreadLaunchInput to ensure proper typing when forwarding to threads.dispatch.
  4. Retry Resolution Consistency (apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.ts):

    • Derived failedModelSelection from the run that failed (projection?.runs.find(r => r.id === thread.latestRunId)?.modelSelection), preventing recovery retries from re-resolving against already-switched thread models.
  5. Banner Fallback Action Guard (apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx):

    • Computed fallbackTargetForBanner via memoized resolveFallbackModelSelection and only provided onFallbackNow when a valid target is available, preventing no-op actions in UsageLimitRecoveryBanner.
  6. Deduplicated Contract Key & Linting (packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/FallbackModelPicker.tsx):

    • Removed the duplicate fallbackModelSelection property in OrchestrationV2AppThread schema, keeping the nullable declaration.
    • Refactored FallbackModelPicker to conform with shadcn typography tokens (text-3xs, text-2xs) and component styling rules.

🟠 Major · Fix the undefined identifier fallbackModelSelection in the metadata… · ChatView.tsx:11769-11793

apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx:11769-11793
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the undefined identifier fallbackModelSelection in the metadata update.

The callback parameter is named fallbackSelection. The updateThreadMetadata input uses fallbackModelSelection, which is not declared in this scope. This causes a TypeScript compile error. If it type-checks through an outer binding, it sends the wrong value. Either way, the selected fallback is never persisted for an active thread.

Pass fallbackSelection under the fallbackModelSelection key.

🐛 Proposed fix
                                   const result = await updateThreadMetadata({
                                     environmentId,
                                     input: {
                                       threadId: activeThreadShell.id,
-                                      fallbackModelSelection,
+                                      fallbackModelSelection: fallbackSelection,
                                     },

🟡 Minor · Restore failed selections and reset draft state between drafts. · ChatView.tsx:11769-11793

apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx:11769-11793
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore failed selections and reset draft state between drafts.

ChatComposer uses the active shell selection when it is non-null. However, the shell can store null for Off, so the picker then uses its local draftFallbackSelection. The callback updates that local value before persistence. If the metadata save fails while the shell value is null, the picker still displays the unsaved selection. Restore both local values on failure, or make the picker controlled by the persisted selection.

ChatView also reuses draftFallbackSelection across draft routes and sends it during the next draft bootstrap. Reset both ChatView and ChatComposer state when draftId changes.

Suggested draft-state reset
+useEffect(() => {
+  setDraftFallbackSelection(null);
+}, [draftId]);

Apply this effect in both ChatView and ChatComposer, after their respective draftFallbackSelection state declarations.

CodeRabbit Outside-Diff Review Fixes

Resolved the remaining items identified in the review:

  1. Metadata Persistence Identifier (apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx):

    • Fixed onFallbackSelectionChange in ChatView to pass fallbackModelSelection: fallbackSelection to updateThreadMetadata.
    • On mutation failure, restores draftFallbackSelection to its previous state.
  2. Draft State Reset & Isolation (apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx):

    • Added useEffect(() => { setDraftFallbackSelection(null); }, [draftId]); in both ChatView and ChatComposer to prevent draft fallback choices from leaking across draft routes.
    • Updated ChatComposer to use activeThreadShell ? (activeThreadShell.fallbackModelSelection ?? null) : draftFallbackSelection, correctly respecting null (Off) when set on the active shell.
    • Wrapped onFallbackSelect in ChatComposer to catch errors and roll back local draft state if persistence fails.
  3. Type & Shell State Synchronization (packages/client-runtime/src/state/models.ts, packages/shared/src/model.ts):

    • Added fallbackModelSelection to EnvironmentThreadShell and populated it in presentThreadShell.
    • Guarded sorted[0] indexing in resolveFallbackModelSelection against undefined.
    • Properly guarded optional manualContinuationOfRunId for exactOptionalPropertyTypes compliance.
