## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner runs OpenCode agents through runnerd and the
OpenCode app-server proxy
(`packages/paperclip-runner/src/cli/opencode-app-server-proxy.ts`).
> - When runnerd restores an OpenCode session, it sends `thread/resume`
and then `thread/read`. It uses `thread/read` only to find an active
provider turn.
> - The proxy answered `thread/read` with the full retained OpenCode
message history (`GET /session/{id}/message`) in one JSON-RPC line.
> - runnerd rejects a provider stdout line that is larger than 4 MiB
(`CODEX_APP_SERVER_MAX_FRAME_BYTES`). A long OpenCode session therefore
can never resume. Each restore fails with `harness stdout frame exceeded
4194304 bytes`, and the run stops with `provider_frame_too_large`.
> - This pull request makes the proxy return turn metadata only, the
same as the Codex metadata-only read.
> - The benefit is that long OpenCode sessions resume again, and resume
no longer reads the full message history.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A Paperclip Runner OpenCode task on staging tried to resume its session
in a new sandbox. The restored OpenCode state was approximately 41.5 MB.
The `run.attach` command failed with `failed to resume OpenCode
provider: failed to start opencode provider: harness stdout frame
exceeded 4194304 bytes`. The server recorded
`native_session_recovery_failed` with error code
`provider_frame_too_large`, and it stopped automatic replay. Each new
attempt has the same failure, because the message history only grows.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run an OpenCode task until its session holds more than 4 MiB of
message parts.
2. Let the run continue in a new runner process, so that runnerd must
send `thread/resume` and then `thread/read`.
3. The proxy writes the full message history in the `thread/read`
response. runnerd rejects the frame and the resume fails.
**Expected behavior**
The resume succeeds. The size of the session history does not change the
size of the `thread/read` response.
**Root cause**
`thread/read` in the OpenCode proxy added `transcript: await
session.read?.()`. No consumer reads this field. The Rust provider reads
only `thread.turns` (`latest_active_turn_id`). The Codex path already
avoids message hydration for the same check ("Never hydrate message
contents just to decide whether this thread has an active turn").
## What Changed
- `opencode-app-server-proxy.ts`: `thread/read` now returns `thread.id`,
`thread.cwd` and `thread.turns` only. It does not call `session.read()`.
- `test/fixtures/fake-opencode-server.mjs`: the fake OpenCode server can
now return a large retained message history. The test enables this with
a `fake-message-history-bytes` file in `XDG_DATA_HOME`. This follows the
existing file-switch pattern of the fixture. Without the file, the
response is `[]`, as before.
- `src/cli/opencode-proxy-thread-read.test.ts`: a new regression test.
It builds the real bundled proxy entrypoint, starts a session, stops the
proxy, gives the persisted session a 5 MiB history, then starts a new
proxy and sends `thread/resume` and `thread/read` (the runnerd restore
sequence). It asserts that all stdout frames stay below 4 MiB and that
`thread/read` still reports the thread id and turns.
## Verification
- Red before the fix: `npx vitest run
src/cli/opencode-proxy-thread-read.test.ts` failed with `expected
5243183 to be less than 4194304`. The 5,243,183-byte frame was the
`thread/read` response.
- Green after the fix: the same command passes.
- `npx vitest run src/cli/opencode-app-server-proxy.test.ts
src/cli/opencode-proxy-thread-read.test.ts`: 6 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/cli/opencode-proxy
src/backends/native-instruction-measurement.test.ts
src/drivers/opencode`: 158 passed, 1 failed. The failure
(`opencode-server-driver.test.ts` > "uses provider structure rather than
prose length to select a post-tool answer") also fails on the unchanged
base commit in this environment. This change does not touch that path.
- `tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` for `packages/paperclip-runner`:
passed.
- Safety checks:
- Consumers: only the runnerd Rust provider (`read_thread`) calls
`thread/read` on this proxy. It reads `thread.turns`. No TypeScript or
Rust code reads `transcript`.
- Active-turn detection does not change. The `turns` logic is the same
code.
- Resume now does less work: one `GET /session/{id}/message` request
less.
- Not run locally: the Rust tests and a full runnerd plus real OpenCode
resume. This environment has no Rust toolchain. The Rust code does not
change. CI runs the Rust suites.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change removes one unused response field.
- If an external tool read `transcript` from the proxy's `thread/read`,
it does not get it now. I found no such consumer in this repository.
- Tasks that already failed with `provider_frame_too_large` continue
only after this proxy reaches the runner provider pack and the task runs
again.
## Model Used
- Provider: Anthropic. Model: Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`). Used
through Claude Code with tool use (shell, file edit, GitHub connector)
and standard reasoning.
