Summary

  • Emit a started ACP tool card on the first non-terminal tool_call / tool_call_update.
  • Keep existing completion summaries for terminal status (including deferred empty completions).
  • While a tool stays in progress, emit Tool still running: <name> (Ns) about every 30s.
  • Confirm ACP JSON-RPC -32003 quota errors still surface as BackendError.

Test plan

  • pytest tests/unit/connectors/acp_core (108 passed)
  • Smoke import of start/heartbeat formatters
  • Restart Python LIP after merge so the live ACP session picks this up

Made with Cursor

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added immediate summaries when tools start running.
    • Added periodic heartbeat updates for long-running tools.
    • Added completion summaries with compact, truncated tool arguments.
    • Improved visibility into tool progress, elapsed time, and status.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Structured quota errors now preserve their error codes and details.

Emit a started tool summary on the first non-terminal ACP tool_call, keep the completion card for terminal status, and surface periodic still-running lines so long tools are not silent until they finish.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@matdev83, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 51 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ACP tool streams now emit started summaries, periodic heartbeat lines, and completion summaries. The stream iterator uses a shared deadline and reusable reads. Tool state tracks start emission and heartbeat timing. Tests cover formatting, lifecycle output, throttling, and asynchronous reads.

Changes

ACP tool heartbeat support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Connector plumbing and regression coverage
src/connectors/acp_core/base_connector.py, tests/unit/connectors/acp_core/test_base_connector.py
Existing connector request, process, cancellation, response, and stream wiring received formatting-only updates. Quota error tests now verify preserved codes and provider details.
Tool summary formatting and state
src/connectors/acp_core/tool_markdown.py, src/connectors/acp_core/types.py, src/connectors/acp_core/base_connector.py, tests/unit/connectors/acp_core/test_tool_markdown.py
Shared argument rendering supports JSON parsing, compact serialization, fallback conversion, and truncation. Started and heartbeat formatters were added. Accumulators track start emission and heartbeat timing.
Tool event lifecycle output
src/connectors/acp_core/base_connector.py, tests/unit/connectors/acp_core/test_base_connector.py
Nonterminal tool events emit started summaries. Terminal events retain completion summaries. Duplicate updates remain suppressed.
Heartbeat-aware ACP stream reads
src/connectors/acp_core/base_connector.py, tests/unit/connectors/acp_core/test_base_connector.py
ACP reads use a shared deadline and reusable pending read. Idle timeout slices emit throttled heartbeats. Pending reads are cleaned up on timeout and generator cleanup.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6db28

The PR is mergeable with owner awareness: an ACP process-wait fallback can hide unexpected failures without diagnostics, making lifecycle problems harder to investigate. Narrowing the exception handling and logging the fallback is recommended.

P1 Badge Preserve the inactivity timeout for active ACP turns

For any ACP turn lasting longer than _process_timeout (300 seconds by default), this fixed deadline now raises APITimeoutError even when the subprocess is continuously producing session updates. Before this change, each successful read started a fresh timeout, so active long-running tool calls could continue; reset the deadline when a message arrives or continue applying the timeout per read.

P2 Badge Exclude terminal tools from the heartbeat set

When a correlated terminal update has no input or output yet, _acp_terminal_summary_pieces sets pending_terminal_summary=True to await a late payload, but this predicate still treats the tool as in progress. If that payload is delayed beyond 30 seconds, users receive repeated Tool still running messages after the tool has already reported completion; exclude pending-terminal accumulators from both heartbeat eligibility and emission.

P2 Badge Schedule heartbeats from their actual due time

While an in-progress tool is accompanied by any JSON-RPC notification more frequently than the heartbeat interval, every notification restarts this full interval wait and the heartbeat branches are never reached. This includes redundant tool_call_update messages that emit no visible piece, so the promised approximately 30-second heartbeat can disappear indefinitely; calculate the timeout from each accumulator's remaining heartbeat delay or check for due heartbeats after processing messages.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Narrow and log the process-wait failure.

Line 1894 catches every exception and returns without diagnostics. Catch the expected process errors only. Log the fallback with exc_info=True.

Proposed fix
-        except Exception:
+        except (OSError, ChildProcessError):
+            logger.debug("ACP process wait failed", exc_info=True)
             return process.poll() is not None

As per coding guidelines, "Never use bare except Exception. Always log with exc_info=True for debugging".
