- components/chat-transport.ts (NEW): createChatTransport(chatId) — the
chat.tsx seam is now a one-line swap. Its fetch turns a 409 on POST
/api/chat (a learner send racing the wake pipeline's ~1s adoption window)
into: wait out the in-flight turn (poll turnInFlight, 30s cap), refetch
the record, MERGE the outgoing messages onto the fresh server list, re-POST.
A bare retry would clobber the steer + wake messages via the write-ahead
persist (steerDelivered makes that loss permanent) — merging is the whole
point. Unit-tested: pass-through, wait+merge+reorder, dedupe by id,
repeated-409 loop, bounded give-up.
- src/core/pending.ts: findPendingJobCall deleted (dead since wave 1 —
job tools resolve server-side with an ack, nothing pends client-side).
JOB_TOOLS kept (runner.ts still uses it). Header doc rewritten.
- src/server/jobs.ts: GRACE_MS 1500 → 750, with the evidence in the
comment: the race window is only the learner's answer→POST flight
(sendAutomaticallyWhen dispatches synchronously; ~10ms localhost,
<300ms realistic RTT — 750 is 2.5× worst case) and misses self-heal
via the pump's gate recheck, the 409 backoff ramp, and the new
transport merge-retry. POLL_MS=400 kept (sampling granularity only).
- tests/jobs.test.ts: prompt-size guard — every fragment ≤8k chars,
composed prompt ≤60k — the README-leak class (815 bytes ≈ 200 tokens
per teacher turn before wave 1's fix) can't silently recur.
Gates: typecheck, 279/279 tests, lint, build — all green.
