Subject: [PATCH 1/5] test(agent-loop): reproduce series-start prompt rewrite
 on unchanged text

A compaction replacement after an appended in-history prompt starts a new request series, and the projection folds the prompt back into node 0 although the effective text is unchanged. The request moves the system segment to wire message 0, so the provider prefix cache misses from the first token (#6973).

The regression fails before the fix: the third request carries one system text ("prompt two") instead of keeping the appended node behind the cached prefix.

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] fix(agent-loop): keep the prompt prefix at a series start
 with unchanged text

An in-history route carries prompt updates as later system nodes while node 0 stays stale. A surface replacement (compaction, tool-result prune, image offload) starts a new request series, and the projection used to re-baseline node 0 even when the rendering already matched the latest surviving node: it emptied that node and wrote identical text into node 0, so the request differed at its first message and the provider prefix cache missed from the first token (#6973).

Re-baseline node 0 only when the effective text must move: an incapable route, an empty rendering, or a series start whose latest surviving non-empty node differs from the rendering. A capable series start with matching text emits no system event; the loop still logs the request series and rebuilds declarations. Retry compaction still folds the prompt to the head when it shadows the latest node.

 The authored [headless prompt/tool scenario](../../../../snapshots/session/dynamic-tool-prompt-updates/snapshot.yml) pins an appended prompt beside a deferred tool addition and verifies that the first request's messages stay unchanged. It shares the stable-prompt scenario's tool lifecycle and schema expectations.

+## Problem
+
+On an in-history route, a prompt change is appended as a later `system/message`, so node 0 stays stale while the latest surviving node carries the rendering. A surface replacement (compaction, tool-result prune, image offload) starts a new request series. The projection used to re-baseline node 0 at every series start even when the rendering already matched that latest node: it emptied the later node and wrote the identical text into node 0. The wire request then differed at its first message, so the provider prefix cache missed from the first token although no prompt text changed.

+Real session `session-da55bbc9-…`, turn 710 step 2: `compaction/prune` replaced one tool result (seq 34669, 34670); the next request wrote 7,618 characters identical to the node it emptied (seq 34672, 34673), `request/header` logged reason `series` (seq 34674), and the step billed 722,332 uncached input tokens with 1,152 cache-read tokens (0.16% hit) against about 99.9% on the neighboring steps. A build update at turn 707 had appended the prompt node; nothing changed the rendering at turn 710.
+
+## Decision
+
+`SystemPromptProjection.project` re-baselines node 0 only when the effective text must move: an incapable route, an empty rendering, or a series start whose latest surviving non-empty node text differs from the rendering. When the route is in-history, the rendering is non-empty, and the latest surviving node already holds it, the projection returns no updates and the node stays where the cached history carried it. The loop still records the request series through `request/header` (`series`, or `change` with `startsSeries: true`) and rebuilds declarations as before.
+
+Retry recovery keeps its guarantee: when a retry compaction shadows the latest node, the effective text falls back to an older node, differs from the rendering, and the head is rewritten before users are admitted again. The projection never appends an update after already-admitted users.
+
+## Verification
+
+- [`system-prompt-projection.spec.ts`](../../../../packages/core/agent-loop/tests/system-prompt-projection.spec.ts) pins the no-operation decision for a capable series start whose surviving node already matches.
+- [`system-prompt-admission.spec.ts`](../../../../packages/core/agent-loop/tests/system-prompt-admission.spec.ts) pins the wire request: a compaction replacement with an unchanged rendering keeps both system messages, the previous request messages remain a prefix, and the neighboring steps regain the provider prefix.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Always keep the appended node and never re-baseline.** Simpler, but a route that cannot append prompts, or a prompt that must clear, still needs a single current head, and a changed rendering at a series start must not append after users already admitted by a failed attempt. Rejected.
+
+**Skip consolidation whenever the head differs.** A stale head is authoritative again on an incapable destination route, because that route ignores later system nodes; the route capability, not the head text, decides whether the later node is effective. Rejected.
+
+**Stop treating local surface replacements as series starts.** A prune changes one tool result, so the cache loss is local, but image-offload and compaction decisions still legitimately start a series; the projection must not depend on which replacement produced the boundary. Rejected: the projection owns the prompt decision.
+
+**Compare reconstructed requests instead of surface text.** The loop derives requests from surface events, so comparing past wire messages would duplicate request reconstruction and still need the same effective-text comparison. Rejected.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A capable route can retain earlier prompt versions in model history after a series start; they cost input tokens until a later consolidation or compaction shadows them.
+- A tool-schema series start on a route without tool updates no longer writes a `system/message` event, so the header records the declaration change without `startsSeries`; tool history reconstructs the full active declaration set for that request.
+- Consolidation still applies when the rendering actually differs: route switches, prompt updates concurrent with compaction, and retries that shadow the latest node.

+# Agent Note: 渲染未变的新序列保留存活的系统节点
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-10-22-series-start-unchanged-prompt-prefix.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+在 in-history 路由上，提示词变化会追加为后续的 `system/message`，因此 node 0 保持陈旧，由最新存活节点承载渲染文本。surface 替换（压缩、工具结果剪枝、图片省略）会开启新的请求序列。投影过去会在每次新序列开始时无条件重写 node 0，即使渲染文本已经与该最新节点一致：它清空后续节点，再把完全相同的文本写进 node 0。于是 wire 请求的第一条消息发生变化，提供方前缀缓存从第一个 token 起未命中，尽管提示词文本没有任何变化。
+
+真实会话 `session-da55bbc9-…` 第 710 轮第 2 步：`compaction/prune` 替换了一条工具结果（seq 34669、34670）；下一次请求写入的 7,618 个字符与它清空的节点完全相同（seq 34672、34673），`request/header` 记录 reason `series`（seq 34674），该步计费 722,332 个未命中输入 token、1,152 个缓存读取 token（命中率 0.16%），而相邻步骤约为 99.9%。第 707 轮的构建更新追加了提示词节点；第 710 轮没有任何东西改变渲染文本。
+
+## Decision
+
+`SystemPromptProjection.project` 只在有效文本必须移动时重写 node 0：不具备能力的路由、空渲染文本，或最新存活非空节点文本与渲染文本不同的新序列开始。当路由为 in-history、渲染文本非空、且最新存活节点已经持有它时，投影不产生任何更新，节点保持在已缓存历史携带它的位置。loop 仍通过 `request/header` 记录请求序列（`series`，或带 `startsSeries: true` 的 `change`），并照旧重建声明。
+
+重试恢复保持原有保证：重试压缩遮蔽最新节点后，有效文本回退到更旧的节点，与渲染文本不同，于是头节点在用户消息再次被接纳之前重写。投影从不会在已接纳的用户消息之后追加更新。
+
+## Verification
+
+- [`system-prompt-projection.spec.ts`](../../../../packages/core/agent-loop/tests/system-prompt-projection.spec.ts) 固定「能力路由的新序列开始时存活节点文本已一致则不产生操作」的决策。
+- [`system-prompt-admission.spec.ts`](../../../../packages/core/agent-loop/tests/system-prompt-admission.spec.ts) 固定 wire 请求：渲染文本未变的压缩替换保留两条系统消息，上一次请求的消息仍构成前缀，相邻步骤重新获得提供方前缀。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**永远保留追加节点、从不重写。** 更简单，但无法追加提示词的路由、或必须清空的提示词仍需要单一当前头节点；新序列开始时若渲染文本确实变化，也不能在失败尝试已接纳的用户消息之后追加。拒绝。
+
+**只要 head 不同就跳过归并。** 在目标路由变为不具备能力时，陈旧 head 会重新成为权威，因为该路由忽略后续系统节点；决定后续节点是否生效的是路由能力，而不是 head 文本。拒绝。
+
+**让局部 surface 替换不再算新序列。** 剪枝只改一条工具结果的文本，缓存损失是局部的，但图片省略与压缩决定仍合理地开启新序列；投影不应依赖是哪种替换制造了边界。拒绝：提示词决策属于投影。
+
+**比较重建后的请求而不是 surface 文本。** loop 从 surface 事件派生请求，比较历史 wire 消息会重复请求重建，而且仍然需要同样的有效文本比较。拒绝。
+
+## Consequences
+
+- 具备能力的路由在新序列开始后可能在模型历史中保留更早的提示词版本；在被后续归并或压缩遮蔽之前，它们会计入输入 token。
+- 不支持工具更新的路由上，工具 schema 变化开启的新序列不再写出 `system/message` 事件，因此 header 记录声明变化但不带 `startsSeries`；工具历史会为该请求重建完整的生效声明集合。
+- 渲染文本确实不同时归并仍然生效：路由切换、与压缩同时发生的提示词更新，以及遮蔽最新节点的重试。

 ### The decision rule
 
-`SystemPromptProjection.project(rendered, { inHistory, startsSeries })` in `packages/core/agent-loop/src/runtime-context.ts` scans the surviving `system/message` nodes of the current surface on every call. It returns ordered per-node commits. With no surviving system node it reserves the head even for an empty rendering. Effective text comes from the latest non-empty system node, falling back to the head; dormant empty tails neither supply effective text nor need another empty replacement. An empty rendering clears every active system node, regardless of route or series state. For a non-empty rendering on an incapable route or at a new request series, consolidation applies even when the effective text is unchanged. Otherwise matching effective text emits nothing. The operations are:

Effective text comes from the latest non-empty system node, falling back to the head; dormant empty tails neither supply effective text nor need another empty replacement. An empty rendering clears every active system node, regardless of route or series state. For a non-empty rendering, an incapable route or a new request series whose effective text differs consolidates; a series start whose latest surviving node already holds the rendering emits nothing and keeps that node in place. Otherwise matching effective text emits nothing. The unchanged-text case is owned by the [series-start prefix decision](../bug-fix/2026-10-22-series-start-unchanged-prompt-prefix.md). The operations are:
 
 | Route capability | Prefix state | Operation |
 |---|---|---|
 | none | non-empty rendering, any prefix state | log an empty replacement for each non-empty later system node, then rewrite the first system node with the rendering if needed |
 | `in-history` | the current request series continues | append a new `system/message` before the step's `user/message` events; the append alone needs no `request/header` |
-| `in-history` | non-empty rendering, a new series starts | log empty replacements for non-empty later system nodes, then rewrite the first system node if needed, even when the latest effective text is unchanged |
+| `in-history` | non-empty rendering, a new series starts and the latest effective text differs | log empty replacements for non-empty later system nodes, then rewrite the first system node if needed |
+| `in-history` | non-empty rendering, a new series starts with the rendering already current | no operation: the surviving node stays where the cached history carried it |
 | any | the rendered prompt is empty | log empty replacements for non-empty later system nodes, then empty the head if needed; no prompt version remains in derived messages |
 
-`startsSeries` is true when the `agent/pre-step` decision declares `startsRequestSeries`, when the surface replace generation moved since the last request (a compaction or any other replacement), or when the visible tool-schema set changed on a route without `toolUpdate` support. Supported tool additions can accompany a prompt append without starting a series. A provider or model swap alone is not a series start for this rule: on a capable destination route the changed prompt is appended, which costs nothing because the route change already misses the cache. A series start already costs the cache, so consolidation keeps only the current prompt in model history. Logged per-node empty replacements remove later prompts from derived messages without a surface delete operation or any replacement of intervening conversation nodes. This also keeps compaction recovery from appending a system update after users already admitted by the failed attempt.

A series start does not by itself discard the whole provider prefix: a replacement or image-offload decision may invalidate only the tail, so consolidation waits until the effective text must move; when it does, the series is the point to keep only the current prompt in model history and to avoid appending after already-admitted users on a retry. Logged per-node empty replacements remove later prompts from derived messages without a surface delete operation or any replacement of intervening conversation nodes. This also keeps compaction recovery from appending a system update after users already admitted by the failed attempt.
 
-The first attempt admits the prompt after assembly, an accepted `agent/pre-step` decision, `step/start`, the `agent/request` waterfall, and `prepareCall()`. A rejected or empty first input opens no step. Neither async request phase commits the pending system prompt or accepted users, and cancellation during either commits neither. Every attempt synchronously reconciles the same rendered assembly after its own `agent/request` and `prepareCall()`, appends the accepted user batch only on the first attempt, logs header/context as needed, and derives and freezes the request before streaming through the same prepared call. Retries do not repeat assembly, `agent/pre-step`, or user admission. Reconciliation sees both pre-step compaction (`compaction-basic` with `auto: true`) and recovery compaction, and consolidates non-empty prompt text at the head when either starts a new series. Resume is series-continuing — the `resume` header is not a series start — so a prompt that changed across a restart is appended; the provider cache may still be warm across a process boundary.

 An empty head with no active later system node represents no prompt. Dormant empty tails do not supply effective text, so repeated clearing and resume cannot resurrect an older prompt. Restoring non-empty text uses the same admission rule: a continuing capable route may append it; an incapable route or a new series refills the head. Clearing uses ordinary per-node replacements, not a surface delete or an initial empty-head creation.

 | 路由能力 | 前缀状态 | 操作 |
 |---|---|---|
 | 无 | 非空渲染文本，任意前缀状态 | 为每个非空的后续系统节点记录空内容替换，随后按需用渲染文本重写首个系统节点 |
 | `in-history` | 当前请求序列延续 | 在该步骤的 `user/message` 事件之前追加新的 `system/message`；仅追加本身不需要记录 `request/header` |

 The driver owns one agent for its lifetime and runs inside `ctx.agents.withInitiator(agent, ...)`. `AgentLoop` registers the standard `inbox` projection for its service lifetime, so cold reads work before any Agent exists and after all Agents unload. It also owns `modelSelection` and constructs an `AgentModel` for each Agent, with the public [Model API](../agent/README.md#model-selection). Its package-internal `ReactLoopInbox` uses that shared projection for structural commands and loop-only claims. At a turn boundary it opens the durable turn, then atomically claims pending next-step input plus one queued prompt; between steps it claims only next-step input. The driver assembles the prompt and tools and runs `agent/pre-step`; the fallback projects runtime context after listeners run. A rejected decision or empty first batch opens no step. On the first attempt after acceptance, `step/start` precedes the `agent/request` waterfall and `prepareCall()`; neither async phase sees the pending system prompt or accepted users committed to history, and cancellation during either commits neither. For every attempt, the loop then synchronously reconciles the rendered prompt against the surviving `system/message` nodes using the prepared call capability, refreshes registered runtime facts without reassembling the bound prompt or tools, appends the accepted `user/message` batch only on the first attempt with its owned context candidate replaced in place, and restores removed runtime context, logs the header and context as needed, and derives and freezes the request before streaming through that bound prepared call. Retries reuse the same rendered assembly without repeating assembly, `agent/pre-step`, or user admission. Reconciliation sees pre-step and retry compaction; a broken series consolidates the prompt at the head rather than appending an update after already-committed users. The request is `header.config`, `deriveMessages()`, and `header.tools`; it carries no `system` field. Each model attempt emits one process-local `start`, emits every `chunk` only after the matching durable assistant-frame settlement, and emits exactly one terminal `end`; final assembly or message-append failure settles it as `aborted`, while `committed` follows the durable `assistant/message`. Each successful model call appends one message anchor, and a cancelled stream appends an `interrupted: true` anchor with the delivered prefix so the next request contains what the user saw. Within a step, exclusive calls form barriers and parallel-safe calls use the bounded rolling pool; policy, durable results... (line truncated to 2000 chars)
 
-Prompt admission uses the actual `prepareCall()` result, not the preceding `request/context`. With no system node, even an empty prompt is appended (reserving node 0 without a wire message). On an incapable route or at a new request series, a non-empty rendering is consolidated at the first system node: each non-empty later system node receives a logged per-node empty replacement, then the head is rewritten if needed. Dormant empty tails need no replacement and do not determine the effective text. Consolidation applies even when the latest effective text is unchanged. On a continuing `in-history` series, an unchanged effective prompt produces no event and a non-empty change appends. An empty rendering clears every non-empty later system node through a logged per-node empty replacement, then empties the head if needed, regardless of route or series state. No older instructions remain model-visible. An empty head with no active later system node means no prompt; repeated clears and resume leave it empty. A restored non-empty prompt follows the same route/series rule: a continuing capable route may append it, while an incapable route or new series refills the head. A step starts a series when the pre-step decision declares `startsRequestSeries` or `session.surface.contentGeneration` changed since attachment or the last request (a replacement or image-offload decision). Visible tool-schema changes force prompt consolidation only when the prepared route lacks `toolUpdate`. Routes supporting both tool and system-prompt updates can append a changed prompt and activate added tools without rewriting earlier messages. If another admission condition replaces a system node, the request starts a new series with current tool declarations. Resume and a provider or model swap alone continue the series; the prepared route still governs admission. Per-node empty replacements preserve intervening history without a surface delete operation.

-Prefix reuse requires earlier messages and declarations to stay byte-identical under the same provider and model route. An unchanged rendered prompt keeps the cached prefix unless an incapable route or a new request series must consolidate retained in-history system nodes. A prompt change that replaces a system node in place makes the request differ from that node's first token — in full when the node is node 0 — so the provider prefix cache misses from there; when the prepared call declares `systemPromptUpdate: 'in-history'`, a non-empty prompt change inside a continuing request series is appended after the cached history, so the prefix through that history stays reusable. Changing a retained tool definition or rebuilding declarations invalidates reuse from the first altered request token.

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] docs(agent-loop): align series-start contracts with
 shipped behavior

Clarify the SystemPromptDecisionInput.startsSeries contract (a new request series no longer implies consolidation), record the tool-schema series-start exception consistently in the decision and consequences, and correct the complete-declaration attribution to the unsupported-route projection.

 ## Problem
 
-On an in-history route, a prompt change is appended as a later `system/message`, so node 0 stays stale while the latest surviving node carries the rendering. A surface replacement (compaction, tool-result prune, image offload) starts a new request series. The projection used to re-baseline node 0 at every series start even when the rendering already matched that latest node: it emptied the later node and wrote the identical text into node 0. The wire request then differed at its first message, so the provider prefix cache missed from the first token although no prompt text changed.

The wire request then differed at its first message, so the provider prefix cache missed from the first token although no prompt text changed.
 
 Real session `session-da55bbc9-…`, turn 710 step 2: `compaction/prune` replaced one tool result (seq 34669, 34670); the next request wrote 7,618 characters identical to the node it emptied (seq 34672, 34673), `request/header` logged reason `series` (seq 34674), and the step billed 722,332 uncached input tokens with 1,152 cache-read tokens (0.16% hit) against about 99.9% on the neighboring steps. A build update at turn 707 had appended the prompt node; nothing changed the rendering at turn 710.
 
 ## Decision
 
-`SystemPromptProjection.project` re-baselines node 0 only when the effective text must move: an incapable route, an empty rendering, or a series start whose latest surviving non-empty node text differs from the rendering.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] test(agent-loop): pin the unchanged-text series start in
 a recorded session

Add an authored headless scenario that appends a changed prompt and then replaces a surface node before the third step. The unchanged-rendering series start must keep both prompt versions and write no system/message event; the scenario fails against the pre-fix projection. Also tighten the tool-series-start assertions and make the prefix premise explicit.
