Closes #207

Summary

  • Allow optional startedAt and updatedAt ISO datetime fields on createPaneCliSessionInputSchema in @space/contracts.
  • Honor caller-supplied startedAt and updatedAt (falling back to nowIso()) in InMemorySpaceStore.createPaneCliSession instead of unconditionally overwriting both with wall-clock time.
  • Add deterministic tie-breaking (startedAt then sessionId) in pickSharedChatDispatchTarget when updatedAt timestamps match.
  • Expand apps/api/tests/shared-chat-dispatch.test.ts to assert persisted updatedAt values and deterministic tie-break behavior on identical timestamps.

Verification

  • npx vitest run tests/shared-chat-dispatch.test.ts (in apps/api)
  • npx vitest run tests/schemas.test.ts (in packages/contracts)
  • node scripts/verify-export-provenance.mjs
  • node scripts/space-hygiene-check.mjs --preflight

Walkthrough

CLI session creation now accepts optional start and update timestamps and preserves them when supplied. Shared chat dispatch target selection now breaks equal update-time ties using start time and session ID. Tests cover timestamp overrides and deterministic selection.

Changes: Shared chat dispatch ordering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preserve supplied session timestamps
packages/contracts/src/schemas.ts, packages/runtime/src/store.ts, apps/api/tests/shared-chat-dispatch.test.ts, PUBLIC_EXPORT_MANIFEST.json
The input schema accepts optional startedAt and updatedAt values. Session creation uses supplied values, defaults startedAt to the current time, and defaults updatedAt to startedAt. The test helper accepts timestamp overrides. The manifest refreshes the affected entries.
Add deterministic dispatch tie-breaks
apps/api/src/shared-chat-dispatch.ts, apps/api/tests/shared-chat-dispatch.test.ts, PUBLIC_EXPORT_MANIFEST.json
Target sorting compares startedAt and then sessionId when updatedAt values match. Tests assert the selected update time and the expected pane for equal timestamps. The manifest updates the transformation count and affected entries.

Explanation

Issue #207 requires preservation of caller-supplied session timestamps and deterministic selection for equal updatedAt values. The supplied PR evidence shows that createPaneCliSessionInputSchema accepts optional startedAt and updatedAt, InMemorySpaceStore.createPaneCliSession preserves them and applies nowIso() fallbacks, and pickSharedChatDispatchTarget ties by startedAt and then sessionId. The updated tests verify persisted updatedAt values and equal-timestamp selection. The changed repository blobs were unavailable for direct inspection, but the supplied whole-PR evidence covers the relevant files and behavior.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reported changes are limited to the #207 behavior: the input schema, session timestamp persistence, dispatch ordering, related tests, and generated export-manifest hashes and sizes. The test and manifest changes support the implementation. No unrelated change is established by the supplied PR evidence.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 3 functions across 4 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Compare timestamp instants, not timestamp strings.

When callers supply valid timestamps with different offsets, localeCompare can select the older session. For example, 10:00+02:00 is earlier than 09:00Z but sorts after it. Compare parsed instants for updatedAt and startedAt, then retain the sessionId tie-break.

Thank you for contributing and for sharing your work. This PR is awaiting maintainer review; the automated review does not replace that step.

For the bounty issues, we review PRs in the order they were opened, under the terms on the issue. An earlier PR that misses an acceptance criterion does not block a later complete solution. Please include the checks you ran yourself, their results, your environment, and any limitations, if those details are not already in the PR.

We appreciate the time you have put into this.

Hi @oll4com — thank you for the review update!

I have refreshed this branch (04ae690b) so that it merges cleanly with current main (mergeable: true, removing the stale PUBLIC_EXPORT_MANIFEST.json diff now that #66 skips export provenance on fork PRs) and also added instant-based timestamp comparison (Date.parse before falling back to string/tie-break comparison) so ISO timestamps with different timezone offsets sort by true instant.

Verification Summary (as requested)

  • Checks run locally:
    1. npm run build -w @space/contracts — PASS (tsc -p tsconfig.json exited 0)
    2. npx vitest run apps/api/tests/shared-chat-dispatch.test.ts — PASS (9 passed / 9 total, including new regression tests for explicit startedAt/updatedAt persistence, deterministic tie-breaking on identical millisecond timestamps, and cross-timezone offset instant sorting +02:00 vs Z)
    3. npm run check -w @space/api / npm run check -w @space/runtime — PASS (0 type errors)
  • Environment: Windows 11 x64 (10.0.26100), Node.js v22.x, Vitest 4.x, TypeScript 5.x (InMemorySpaceStore + @space/api unit suite).
  • Limitations: Verified against InMemorySpaceStore and the @space/api unit test suite; no live external CLI container runtime is required for pickSharedChatDispatchTarget target selection.

Thank you for working on #207. It is fixed in run-spaceapp 1.1.9 (commit 4e648e7): the test now sets the store's clock, so two sessions created in the same millisecond no longer tie. Closing this pull request. One note from the review: the in-memory store now honours the given timestamps but the PostgreSQL store does not, so the two would behave differently. Comparing by Date.parse was the right call. Contributions to SpaceApp are voluntary and unpaid.

Flaky test in Security workflow: shared-chat-dispatch "picks the most recently updated eligible pane" (store ignores updatedAt, sort has no tie-break)
