What Changed

The relay's 5 minute cron now ends armed iOS Live Activities that are only showing finished work once the 15 minute display window has passed.

  • LiveActivities.listIdleArmedTargets selects cards with a live update token whose last delivered aggregate had no active agents (or never arrived) and that received nothing since the cutoff.
  • AgentActivityPublisher.endIdleLiveActivities replays the current aggregate to each of them. The replay is silent, and a null aggregate becomes the existing live_activity_end delivery.
  • The registration replay and this path share one replayForTarget helper.

Why

Fixes #11939.

A card only gets a delivery when an environment publishes or the app re-registers its token. makeAggregateState drops Done rows after 15 minutes, but nothing recomputed it for a user with no further agent activity, so the Dynamic Island said "T3 Done" for hours. Opening the app inside the window re-sent the same Done card. The cron already pruned the terminal rows; it now also ends the cards that showed them.

UI Changes

None in the app. The Done card now disappears within about 5 minutes after its 15 minute window instead of lingering.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Made with Claude Fable 5.1 in T3 Code through the Claude Code harness.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Live Activity cards showing completed work now end automatically after the display window expires, even when no further updates are received.
    • A scheduled cleanup process identifies inactive cards and closes eligible cards without changing cards that still show current completed-work information.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented stale completed-work cards from remaining visible indefinitely.
    • Prevented cards from being incorrectly ended or refreshed when new activity starts before cleanup completes.

An armed iOS Live Activity only receives deliveries when an environment
publishes or the app re-registers its token. A card left showing Done or
Failed rows kept them past the 15 minute window when no follow-up event
arrived, so the Dynamic Island read "T3 Done" for hours.

The 5 minute cron now lists armed cards whose last delivered content had no
live work and that have received nothing since the display window, then
replays their aggregate. The replay is silent and ends the card once
nothing is left to show.

🟠 High agentActivity/LiveActivities.ts:287

The idle query can end a newly active live-activity card and clear its token. listIdleArmedTargets only snapshots activeCount = 0; a new agent state can be persisted before the queued null-aggregate end reaches ApnsDeliveries.sendLiveActivity, and that end has no state-current check, so it can run after the new update. Recheck or atomically claim the no-live-work state at end-delivery time, or serialize this transition.

Confirmed. A contentless end job had no state recheck, so it could land after the update for work that started in between and retire the new card's token. Fixed in 90e552a: the queue consumer now skips a null-aggregate end when the user has live work again, the same recheck start jobs use, and completes the job as stale. Covered by a new ApnsDeliveries test.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a five-minute production cleanup workflow that queries persisted activity state and silently ends customer-visible Live Activities through the APNs delivery path. The cross-component lifecycle change has an unresolved race around new activity starting after the idle scan, so its concurrency and termination semantics need human review.

Not approved because:

P1 Badge Revalidate idle end jobs before delivery

When new work is published after replayForTarget sees an empty aggregate but before its queued APNs end job is consumed, that end still matches the same activity token. processSignedJob only validates current rows for non-null aggregates (ApnsDeliveries.ts lines 756–769), so it sends the stale end, clears the token, and drops the Live Activity even though a newer update represented active work. Recheck that no displayable work exists when consuming this cron-generated end, or attach a generation to prevent the stale end from being sent.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The relay now finds stale idle Live Activity targets, avoids repainting cards when work becomes active, and sends end replays after the display window expires. The prune cron runs this process every five minutes.

Changes

Idle Live Activity termination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Idle target selection
infra/relay/src/agentActivity/LiveActivities.ts, infra/relay/src/agentActivity/LiveActivities.test.ts, infra/relay/src/http/Api.ts
The service lists armed targets with zero active work and activity timestamps before the cutoff. Query failures use a tagged persistence error mapped to persistence_failed.
End-only replay
infra/relay/src/agentActivity/AgentActivityPublisher.ts, infra/relay/src/agentActivity/AgentActivityPublisher.test.ts, infra/relay/src/agentActivity/ApnsDeliveries.ts, infra/relay/src/agentActivity/ApnsDeliveries.test.ts
Replay logic supports end-only handling. Android targets are skipped. iOS targets are skipped when a non-null aggregate would repaint active content. Contentless end jobs are skipped when live work has resumed.
Prune cron integration
infra/relay/src/worker.ts, infra/relay/src/agentActivity/FcmDeliveries.test.ts, infra/relay/src/agentActivity/MobileRegistrations.test.ts
The five-minute prune handler calls endIdleLiveActivities after existing pruning steps. Test helpers implement the expanded service shapes.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2f39d

A returning activity can be ended by a previously queued cleanup delivery, potentially suppressing the new Live Activity. Resolve the delivery race before merge.

[Bug]: iOS Live Activity keeps showing "T3 Done" for hours when no other agent event arrives
