15-point review of the persistent-history PR. Architecture decisions: crash
recovery = recency threshold; tool-label duplication = leave as-is.
Must-fix:
1. Boot-sweep bounded by recency. sweepStreaming now also requires
`updatedAt < now() - SWEEP_STREAMING_STALE_MS` (10 min), so a fresh replica's
startup sweep can't abort a turn another replica is actively streaming
(multi-instance deploy). Int-spec: a FRESH 'streaming' row is NOT swept, a
STALE one IS.
2. Restore export during the FIRST streaming turn of a new chat (#174). The
server chatId is now adopted EARLY (in-place, on the start-chunk metadata) via
a new `onServerChatId` callback wired through use-chat-session → chat-thread,
so `activeChatId` is set at turn start and the Copy button is live mid-first-
turn (canExport = !!activeChatId). Hook tests for early/in-place/no-op adopt.
3. Cover finalizeAssistant's fallback-insert branch: extracted pure
`planFinalizeAssistant(assistantId)` (update when id present, insert when the
upfront insert failed) + a dispatch harness test for both arms.
Tests: onModuleInit lifecycle spec (sweep called; throw → resolves + warns);
int-spec updatedAt assertion → toBeGreaterThan.
Cleanups: cap findAllByChat at 5000 rows; upfront-insert-failure log carries
chatId+workspaceId; removed the now-dead buildPartialAssistantRecord (only the
spec consumed it; shapes still pinned by the flushAssistant suite); controller
passes `lang: dto.lang` (normalizeLang handles undefined); dropped a no-op
`?? undefined` in errorOf; documented the content-column semantics change
(concatenated step text, UI renders from metadata.parts); CHANGELOG [Unreleased]
entry (#183, #174); reworded the stale LABELS parity comment.
Verified: server build + 323 ai-chat unit + 5 integration; client tsc + 160
ai-chat unit; prettier clean.

The chat lived in inconsistent paradigms (in-memory stream + client export vs.
DB-as-context), which made export flaky and lost the assistant answer if the
process died mid-turn. Make the DB the single source of truth.
A. STEP-GRANULAR DURABILITY (server)
- ai_chat_messages gains a nullable `status` column (migration; NULL = legacy =
completed). The assistant row is now INSERTED UPFRONT as `status:'streaming'`
and UPDATEd on every onStepFinish with all finished steps (text + tool calls +
tool RESULTS), then finalized once to completed/error/aborted on the terminal
callback. So a process death mid-turn keeps every finished step; a startup
sweep (OnModuleInit → sweepStreaming) flips any dangling 'streaming' row to
'aborted'. The write path no longer depends on a live socket.
- Pure exported `flushAssistant(steps, inProgressText, status, extra?)` builds
the persist payload (metadata.parts byte-identical to the old builder), so a
future background worker can call the same path. AiChatMessageRepo gains
`update`, `sweepStreaming`, and `findAllByChat`.
- consumeStream drain, external-MCP client close-once, SSE heartbeat preserved.
B. SERVER-SIDE EXPORT
- New pure `chat-markdown.util.ts` renders Markdown from DB rows ONLY (server
port of the client builder). Because A persists the in-progress row, the
export now includes an interrupted turn up to its last finished step (flagged
"still generating"). `POST /ai-chat/export` (owner-gated via assertOwnedChat,
workspace-scoped) returns it; `lang` accepts a full client locale tag
('en-US'/'ru-RU') and is normalized server-side (normalizeLang) — a strict
@IsIn(['en','ru']) DTO rejected the real client's i18n.language with a 400,
caught in real-browser testing.
- Client: handleCopy calls the endpoint; `canExport = !!activeChatId`. The whole
liveThreadRef/liveStateRef/onLiveContentChange/hasLiveContent hybrid (and the
client chat-markdown util + test) is removed — the server is now authoritative.
Tests: flushAssistant unit (status shapes + parts parity), chat-markdown.util
unit (incl. legacy NULL-status + interrupted note + ru + normalizeLang locale
tags), controller export wiring + owner-gate, integration update/sweepStreaming.
Verified: server build + 318 ai-chat unit + 3 integration; client tsc + 157
ai-chat unit; and END-TO-END in a real browser — a chat turn persists mid-stream
and the Copy button exports the DB-sourced markdown (showing the in-progress
row), HTTP 200 after the locale fix.
