After a page reload, a joinRun replay that ended on a client tool never sent the tool result back to the server. Later sends stayed blocked.

The live streamResponse path already drains that queue in finally. Rejoin used its own teardown and skipped the drain. This PR waits for pending client tools, then drains after joinRun, same as a live stream.

🎯 Changes

  • resumeInFlightRun waits for pendingToolExecutions, then calls drainPostStreamActions().
  • Unit test holds joinRun open until the client tool finishes, then asserts the continuation POST.
  • E2E reloads mid client-tool run, tails with joinRun, and asserts JOIN_OK (that text exists only on the continuation POST).
  • Docs: one sentence on the resumable-streams advanced page.
  • Patch changeset for @tanstack/ai-client.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested this code locally with pnpm run test:pr.
  • Docs: I updated docs/ for this change, or this change is not user-facing.
  • Changeset: I added a changeset (pnpm changeset), or this PR does not change a published package.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Testing

Commands run

  1. pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-client test:lib -- tests/chat-client-join-run-client-tool.test.ts — pass
  2. pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-e2e test:e2e -- join-run-client-tool.spec.ts --retries=0 — fail without drain (JOIN_OK missing, tool ran), pass with drain (4.9s)
  3. pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-e2e test:types — pass after the output narrow
  4. pnpm exec oxfmt --check on the touched files — pass
  5. pnpm test:pr — ran. Failed on local dirt: knip on untracked marketing/, docs links under docs/superpowers/worktrees, and a missing local vitest.mjs in some parallel test:lib tasks. Those files are not in this PR.

Manual test

  1. Start a chat with a client tool and joinRun (durable connection + persistence: true).
  2. Reload while the run is still open and the client tool is pending.
  3. Confirm the remount tails the run, the tool finishes, and the server gets the tool result (a follow-up assistant message).
  4. Send another user message. Confirm it is not stuck on loading.

How this PR makes testing easy

  • Unit: packages/ai-client/tests/chat-client-join-run-client-tool.test.ts
  • E2E: pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-e2e test:e2e -- join-run-client-tool.spec.ts

Linked issues

Fixes#1058

Risk / rollback

Low. The drain matches the live stream path. Revert the PR to undo.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved reconnect and replay handling when a run pauses for a client-side tool.
    • Ensured tool results are sent after replay, allowing conversations to continue normally.
    • Preserved follow-up messaging after reconnecting to an interrupted run.
  • Documentation

    • Updated resumable-stream guidance with client-tool replay behavior.
    • Added end-to-end testing documentation for reconnect and replay scenarios.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for reload, replay, client-tool completion, and subsequent messages.

A joinRun replay that ends on a client tool queued the resume while isLoading was true. Live streamResponse drained that queue in finally. Rejoin skipped the drain, so the tool result never went back to the server.
Fixes#1058

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The client now drains queued post-stream actions after joinRun replay. Unit and Playwright tests cover client-tool continuation after reload, durable stream replay, and later messages.

Adds Playwright coverage for reload, joinRun, client-tool completion, and a later message. Updates the durability test inventory and requirements.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to 45f49

This change ensures resumed client-tool runs submit their results so later messages are not left stuck. The behavior is localized and covered by unit and end-to-end tests; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

183-190: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Replace the fixed macrotask loops with condition-based waits.

Both loops yield exactly ten times. That count encodes the current number of internal awaits between replay end, tool execution, and queue drain. If the client adds one more await, the test becomes flaky instead of failing clearly.

Wait on observable state instead. Example: before toolGate.resolve(), wait until the tool-call part exists in client.getMessages(); after it, wait until the tool result is recorded.

♻️ Suggested direction
- for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {- await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 0))- }-- toolGate.resolve()- for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {- await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 0))- }+ await vi.waitFor(() => {+ expect(+ client+ .getMessages()+ .some((m) =>+ m.parts.some((p) => p.type === 'tool-call' && p.id === 'tool-call-1'),+ ),+ ).toBe(true)+ })++ toolGate.resolve()
