Summary

Re-adds an event log on top of the simplified API from #115, designed so the log is the source of truth and a snapshot is a verified cache over it. Replaces the closed #116.

Model

  • Journal. runAgent records the root machine's external inputs as AgentLogEntry values: init, host events, child completions, timers, @agent.usage, agent.messages. Raised events are re-derived on replay. result.events is a complete, self-contained segment; onEvent(entry) fires as each entry is appended; verification (default on) stamps a per-entry state hash from the live snapshot, no prefix replay.
  • Resume. runAgent({ events }) replays the log. Recorded results are never re-executed; an in-flight request re-executes with the same info.callKey. A snapshot alongside the log is trusted only when its agentMeta lineage id, index, and hash match the tail. Otherwise the log wins, and a diverged cache throws AgentSnapshotDivergedError.
  • Version bridge. The log is authoritative within one machine.version. Across a change, pass old events + migrated snapshot; the result starts a new segment whose init entry carries the snapshot and metadata.migratedFrom. Old events without a snapshot throw AgentMachineVersionMismatchError.
  • Snapshot-only resume also yields a self-contained log, so every result is replayable.
  • Usage entries are spend records, journaled whether or not the machine handles them; result.usage folds the log via getUsageFromEvents.
  • Idempotency. Executors get info.callKey = <executionId>:<requestId>#<n>, identical across crash re-execution.
  • Stores. AgentEventLogStore interface with optimistic expectedIndex, createInMemoryEventLogStore, assertEventLogStoreConformance. No SQLite subpath; hosts own durability.

Not included, on purpose

  • No durable runner. The Cloudflare Durable Object example is the recipe: read the journal, runAgent({ events, event, onEvent: append }) per turn.
  • No SQLite subpath.

Examples

  • cloudflare-agent-host: journal in DO SQLite through the store interface, no snapshot persisted, tests cover two evictions with no re-executed model calls.
  • crash-recovery: events-only recovery, same callKey on the re-executed call.

Known limits

  • onEvent is synchronous, so a host that wants every entry durable before the next effect runs must chain its own appends and await them at turn end. Follow-up: an awaitable hook.
  • A machine whose initial state cannot be serialized to JSON produces no log (result.events empty). Documented under Hazards.

Verification

pnpm vitest --run 777 passed, pnpm run check, check:dts, test:cloudflare (11 + 2), docs:check all clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added append-only event logs as the durable source of truth for agent runs.
    • Added replay, crash recovery, branching, state verification, usage tracking, and deterministic call keys.
    • Added event-log persistence support for Cloudflare Durable Objects using SQLite.
    • Added public APIs for event logs, in-memory stores, replay, validation, and conformance testing.
  • Documentation
    • Added comprehensive event-log, persistence, observability, and host-execution guidance.
    • Added Cloudflare Durable Object recovery and storage documentation.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved snapshot validation, replay consistency checks, and handling of malformed or incompatible logs.

runAgent journals the root machine's external inputs as AgentLogEntry
values: the reserved init entry, host events, child completions, timers,
usage, and messages. result.events is a self-contained log; onEvent
delivers each entry as it is appended; verification stamps a per-entry
state hash from the live snapshot.

runAgent({ events }) resumes by replay. Recorded results are reused, an
in-flight request re-executes with the same info.callKey. A snapshot
passed alongside the log is a cache: trusted when its agentMeta lineage
id, index, and hash match the tail, otherwise the log wins and a
diverged cache throws AgentSnapshotDivergedError. Across a version
change the migrated snapshot starts a new segment whose init entry
records the migration.

Usage events are always journaled; result.usage folds the log.

New module src/event-log.ts (entries, replay, fork, hashing, occurrence
rule) and src/event-log-store.ts (store interface, in-memory store,
conformance suite). Durability stays with the host: the Cloudflare
Durable Object example persists the journal in SQLite and drives each
turn with runAgent; crash-recovery shows events-only recovery.

Adds append, read, length, and fork operations with optimistic concurrency, cloning, validation, and shared conformance coverage.
Cloudflare Durable Object host
examples/cloudflare-agent-host/*
Replaces snapshot persistence with SQLite event-log storage, serialized replayable turns, validated HTTP/WebSocket handling, and eviction and corruption tests.
Crash recovery examples and documentation
examples/crash-recovery/*, examples/README.md, .changeset/event-log-source-of-truth.md, docs/meta.json
Updates crash recovery to use thread logs and replay, documents idempotency and persistence behavior, and adds event-log navigation and release notes.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8b7f2

The event log can diverge from reported in-memory state after storage failures, and the recovery example can lose work under an actual process termination. These durability and replay issues should be resolved before merge.

🔴 Snapshot verification ignores application state

When context uses a reserved-looking key, canonicalizeForHash removes that application value. Mutated snapshots then pass verification and resume with incorrect state.

Prompt for agents
Restrict volatile-field removal in src/event-log.ts to the exact XState snapshot locations that hold runtime session and counter metadata. Do not remove keys named sessionId, _nextTimerId, or _nextActorIds from arbitrary nested values such as machine context. Add tests proving context changes under each name alter getSnapshotStateHash and fail cached-snapshot verification.

🔴 Migration can discard logged progress

When versions differ, any snapshot enters the migration branch without validation. A stale snapshot can replace newer logged state and rerun completed work.

Prompt for agents
Before creating a version-bridge segment in src/run-agent.ts, verify that the supplied old-version snapshot caches the supplied log. Validate its agentMeta lineage and logIndex and compare its hash, excluding agentMeta, with the corresponding old log entry. Reject stale or unrelated snapshots instead of migrating them. Add cases for an earlier snapshot paired with a longer log and a snapshot from another lineage.

🔴 Unverified logs trust mutated snapshots

With verification disabled, matching agentMeta makes trustedCache accept any snapshot state. Resume then bypasses the authoritative log and uses corrupted state.

Prompt for agents
Only take the cached-snapshot fast path when the log tail contains a verification hash and the snapshot matches it. If verification is unavailable, replay the log rather than treating lineage and length as proof of state. Add a test using verification:false, then mutate snapshot context while retaining agentMeta and confirm resume follows the log.

🟡 Idempotency caching defeats decision retries

Every decision attempt reuses one memoized callKey. A compliant executor cache returns the rejected first result, so retries cannot recover.

Prompt for agents
Give each actual decision executor attempt a distinct idempotency key while preserving that attempt's key across crash re-execution. The occurrence scheme must account for decision attempts durably, not only invoke completions. Update the executor contract and add a retry test with a cache keyed by callKey where the first decision is invalid and the second succeeds.

131-150: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a case that proves a rejected batch appends nothing.

AgentEventLogStore.append is documented as atomic ("all entries land or none do", src/event-log-store.ts Line 23). No case exercises that guarantee. The duplicate-id case rejects a single-entry batch, so a store that inserts entries one by one without a transaction still passes the suite while leaking partial writes.

Add a multi-entry batch whose last entry is invalid, then assert the length did not move.

♻️ Proposed additional case
  {
    name: "a rejected multi-entry append leaves the log unchanged",
    async run(create) {
      const store = await create();
      await store.append({ threadId: "t", expectedIndex: 0, entries: [entry(0, "a")] });

        await store.append({

Replace the full entry-id scan with an indexed lookup.

entryIdsOf loads every entry_id of the thread on each append. The host in examples/cloudflare-agent-host/index.ts appends one entry per onEvent call, so a conversation of N journaled entries performs N scans of growing size. The unique index (thread_id, entry_id) already supports a direct probe, so the duplicate check can stay O(1) per entry and keep the same diagnosable error.

♻️ Proposed refactor: probe the unique index instead of materializing all ids
-  const entryIdsOf = (threadId: string): Set<string> =>
-    new Set(
-      sql
-        .exec(`SELECT entry_id FROM ${table} WHERE thread_id = ?`, threadId)
-        .toArray()
-        .map((row) => String(row.entry_id)),
-    );
+  const hasEntryId = (threadId: string, entryId: string): boolean =>
+    sql
+      .exec(
+        `SELECT 1 FROM ${table} WHERE thread_id = ? AND entry_id = ? LIMIT 1`,
+        threadId,
+        entryId,
+      )
+      .toArray().length > 0;

Then in append:

-        const ids = entryIdsOf(threadId);
+        const ids = new Set<string>();
         for (const entry of entries) {
-          if (ids.has(entry.id)) {

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The sample throws when the run appends no entries.

appended[0].index dereferences the first buffered entry. The event-log hazards state that a run whose initial state cannot be serialized produces no log, so onEvent never fires and appended stays empty. A host that copies this snippet then fails with a TypeError. The "Framework storage" sample on Line 116 already uses the safe form.

Cache the settled turn only after the journal appends succeed.

Line 199 assigns this.#last before the finally block awaits appends. If any append rejects, #run rejects, but #last keeps a turn whose entries never reached SQLite. Two consequences follow:

  • A later GET returns #view() built from that turn, so the host reports state the durable log does not contain.
  • #current() returns the cached turn instead of folding the log again, so #parse validates the next client event against a snapshot ahead of the journal, while #run resumes runAgent from the shorter log.

That breaks the file's own claim that the log is the source of truth. Move the assignment after the appends settle.

🐛 Proposed fix
-      this.#last = result;
-      return result;
     } finally {
       // Await the journal even when the run failed: what did happen is durable.
       await appends;
     }
+    // Cache only what the journal already holds.
+    this.#last = result;
+    return result;

This needs const result to be declared outside the try block, or the await appends to be moved into both the success and failure paths.

Persist entries before process termination.

onEvent only buffers entries in process memory. store.append runs only after runAgent settles. A real termination during the draft call prevents that append and loses the init and completed-outline entries. recover can then receive no authoritative log and re-execute completed work.

Append entries through a serialized store-write queue from onEvent, and await pending writes during graceful shutdown. Otherwise, describe this flow as graceful cancellation rather than crash recovery.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add cycle protection to the Set and Map branches.

Both branches run before the seen.has(value) check on Line 387, and neither adds the container to seen. A Map or Set that contains itself, directly or through a child, makes canonicalizeForHash recurse until the stack overflows. Plain objects and arrays are already protected.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Deriving the expected version from a snapshot-init entry rejects a valid bridged log.

Without options.machine, expected.machineVersion comes from entries[0]. For a version-bridge log, entry 0 is the init-with-snapshot entry and carries the OLD version, while every later entry carries the new one. The exemption on Line 655 only applies to the init entry itself, so the entry at index 1 throws AgentMachineVersionMismatchError. replay always passes machine, so the problem appears only on the standalone validateReplayEntries(entries) path that the docs recommend for custom transports.

Derive the fallback version from the first entry that is not a snapshot-init entry.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a stronger discriminator between a log entry and a bare event.

toEvents treats any object with a truthy event property as an AgentLogEntry. A bare machine event that carries a nested payload field named event is then unwrapped to its payload. agentCallOccurrence derives callKey occurrence numbers from this history, so a misread event changes the derived key and can cause a duplicate executor call. Discriminate on the envelope instead.

🛠️ Proposed fix
   return history.map((entry) => {
     const candidate = entry as AgentLogEntry;
-    return candidate && typeof candidate === "object" && "event" in candidate && candidate.event

       : (entry as EventObject);

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Replace the wall-clock timeouts with deterministic gates.

Three added assertions depend on real elapsed time:

  • Line 3617 aborts after 30 ms to simulate the crash. The test then asserts firstCalls.map((call) => call.requestId) equals ["a", "b"]. On a loaded runner the first generateText call may not resolve and the second may never start, so the crash log contains no xstate.done.actor and the recovery assertions fail.
  • Line 3809 aborts after 20 ms, and line 3823 waits a fixed 10 ms for the straggler usage entry. If the append lands after 10 ms, streamed.length is still atSettle.

Both tests gate the crash-recovery and straggler-journaling contracts, so a flake here hides a real regression. Drive the crash from a promise the test resolves, and await the straggler through onEvent instead of a fixed sleep.

♻️ Deterministic straggler wait
-    release!();
-    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 10));
+    const appended = new Promise<void>((resolve) => {
+      stragglerAppended = resolve;
+    });
+    release!();
+    await appended;

Set stragglerAppended from the onEvent callback once an entry arrives past atSettle.
