Summary

Belt-and-suspenders fix for the ACP cold-start race condition where DB migration delays provider loading, causing defaultModel() to fall through to Provider.sort() and pick a paid model.

Supersedes #1170 and #1171 (combined into one PR with unit tests).

FIX 1 (proactive)  — waitForProviders() in acp.ts
FIX 2 (defensive)  — resolveDefaultModel() in agent.ts

Changes

File Change
src/acp/wait-for-providers.ts New: poll providers with retry + log.warn on timeout
src/acp/resolve-model.ts New: pure model resolution — honors user config when provider/model missing
src/acp/agent.ts Use resolveDefaultModel() instead of inline logic
src/cli/cmd/acp.ts Use waitForProviders() before accepting requests
test/acp/default-model.test.ts 6 unit tests for resolution logic
test/acp/wait-for-providers.test.ts 4 unit tests for polling behavior

Tests

$ bun test test/acp/
 21 pass, 0 fail (includes existing acp tests)

Verification

  • bun test test/acp/ — ✅ 21 pass
  • bun run typecheck — ✅ clean

Fixes #865, Fixes #866

LGTM ✅ — Belt-and-suspenders cold-start fix with full test coverage.

What This PR Does

Fixes a race condition where ACP cold-start (DB migration delay) causes defaultModel() to fall through to Provider.sort() and pick a paid model instead of honoring the user's explicit config.

How It Works

┌─── Before ──────────────────────────────────────┐
│ t0 DB migration delays provider loading          │
│ t1 1st request → providers not ready             │
│ t2 Provider.sort() → picks paid model ❌         │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

┌─── After ───────────────────────────────────────┐
│ t0 waitForProviders() polls until ready (≤5s)    │
│ t1 If still missing → return user config anyway  │
│ t2 Works on first request ✅                     │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
  • FIX 1 (proactive): waitForProviders() — polls providers endpoint before accepting requests, logs warning on timeout
  • FIX 2 (defensive): resolveDefaultModel() — always honors user's explicit model config

Findings

# Severity Finding Location
1 🟢 Pure function extraction — clean separation of concerns, no side effects resolve-model.ts, wait-for-providers.ts
2 🟢 10 unit tests covering all edge cases (provider missing, model missing, timeout, retry) test/acp/*.test.ts
3 🟢 log.warn on timeout — observable, non-blocking wait-for-providers.ts
4 🟢 No new dependencies, no auth bypass, bounded loop (5s cap) All files
5 🟢 Typecheck clean, all 21 acp tests passing
Review Coverage
Reviewer Angle Verdict
A Architecture (API contract, regression risk) LGTM ✅
B Security/CI (auth, deps, build gate) LGTM ✅
C Docs/UX (error messages, config clarity) LGTM ✅
D Correctness (logic bugs, edge cases) LGTM ✅

All actionable findings addressed in commits bd67910add731c3cac1b1.

What's Good (🟢)
  • Excellent defense-in-depth: proactive polling + defensive fallback
  • Clean testable architecture with extracted pure functions
  • Minimal changes to existing files (import + 1-line function call replacement)
  • Tests use fast intervals (10ms) so CI stays snappy

Verification

$ bun test test/acp/
  21 pass, 0 fail
$ bun run typecheck
  ✅ clean

Two complementary fixes for the ACP cold-start race condition where
DB migration delays provider loading, causing defaultModel() to fall
through to Provider.sort() and pick a paid model.

Proactive fix (acp.ts):
- Poll providers endpoint (max 10x, 500ms intervals) before accepting
  requests, ensuring providers are loaded post-migration
- Log warning if providers don't load within 5s

Defensive fix (agent.ts):
- When user specifies a model in config.json but the provider is not
  yet loaded (or provider loaded but model not indexed), return the
  user's explicit choice instead of falling through to Provider.sort()

Extracted testable modules:
- resolve-model.ts: pure resolution logic (6 unit tests)
- wait-for-providers.ts: polling loop with configurable retry (4 unit tests)

Fixes XiaomiMiMo#865, Fixes XiaomiMiMo#866
As reviewers noted, the two conditions were logically redundant.
Simplified to: if user specified a model, always return it.
This makes the intent crystal clear.
@chaodu-agent chaodu-agent force-pushed the fix/acp-cold-start-belt-and-suspenders branch from 3cac1b1 to 0f67d23 Compare June 21, 2026 13:57
Prevents CLI startup crash if SDK/network call rejects during
provider initialization (e.g. DB migration in progress).
- F1: Log warning in acp.ts when waitForProviders times out
- F4: Remove unreachable `if (specified) return specified` after resolveDefaultModel

口渡法師 (Copilot) Security/CI ✅ LGTM
擺渡法師 (Codex) Architecture ✅ LGTM
覺渡法師 (MiMo) Docs/UX ✅ LGTM
普渡法師 (OpenCode) Correctness ✅ LGTM

Issues Found & Fixed

  • Added try/catch to waitForProviders poll loop (prevents crash on SDK rejection)
  • Added caller-level log.warn when providers timeout (fail-open visibility)
  • Prefixed unused providers param with _ + comment for future extensibility
  • Removed unreachable dead code in agent.ts
  • Added test for poll rejection scenario

Notes

  • CI not triggered (fork PR limitation) — tests verified locally
  • resolveDefaultModel intentionally always honors user config regardless of provider state (design decision documented in JSDoc)
