# INFRA-001: TuiInteractionChannel lifecycle fix + channel↔framework integration test suite

## Problem

After ARCH-003, the communication path between `agent-framework` (session events) and
`agent-transport/tui` (React rendering) has never been end-to-end validated.

### Immediate regression (CLI-B02)

`channel.start()` is never called from `render.tsx` or `App.tsx`. This means:

- `wireSessionEvents()` never runs → `text_delta`, `complete`, `tool_start`, `tool_end`
  events are never subscribed → `TuiStateManager` never receives AI response events
- `startInitCheck()` never runs → context state stays at zero
- Transport registry never starts

**Effect:** slash commands work (they use `executeCommand()` → `stateManager.addEntry()` directly),
but AI responses do not appear on screen.

Reproduction: run `pnpm robota`, type any non-slash text and press Enter. The input
is consumed but no assistant message appears in MessageList. This has been reproducible
since ARCH-003 (PR #640 p5).

### Architectural gap

`TuiInteractionChannel` implements `IInteractionChannel` but `write()` is a **no-op**:

```typescript
write(_event: InteractionEvent): void {
  // For future use with createInteractiveRuntime.
  // Currently the session events are wired directly via start().
}
```

`createInteractiveRuntime` wires session events through `channel.write()`, but since
`write()` is a no-op, that path is dead for TUI. The channel has two incompatible
wiring strategies with no tests guarding either.

## Architecture Review

### Affected Scope

- `packages/agent-transport/src/tui/App.tsx` — add `useEffect` calling `channel.start()` on mount and `channel.stop()` on unmount
- `packages/agent-transport/src/tui/TuiInteractionChannel.ts` — document `write()` as intentionally unused in TUI direct-wiring mode
- `packages/agent-transport/src/tui/__tests__/TuiInteractionChannel.lifecycle.test.ts` — new integration test file

Sibling scan: Checked `render.tsx` and `App.tsx` — confirmed `channel.start()` is absent in both files. Checked `createInteractiveRuntime.test.ts` — confirmed mock session pattern for reuse in new tests.

### Alternatives Considered

- **Alt A (채택): Direct wiring path — keep `wireSessionEvents()` in `start()`, call `channel.start()` from `App.tsx` useEffect** — Pro: exposes full session event surface (`execution_workspace_event`, `compact`, `skill_activation`, `user_message`, `context_update`) not forwarded by `createInteractiveRuntime`; no protocol expansion required; minimal surface area change. Con: `write()` stays no-op, must be clearly documented to avoid confusion.
- **Alt B: Implement `write()` fully, route all events through `createInteractiveRuntime`** — Pro: consistent protocol path across headless and TUI modes. Con: `createInteractiveRuntime` does not forward the full event surface (5+ event types excluded); would require significant protocol growth or TUI feature loss; higher regression risk.

### Decision

Alt A adopted. The direct wiring path preserves full session event access without requiring the channel protocol to grow. The trade-off (no-op `write()`) is acceptable because `createInteractiveRuntime` is the headless/test path and TUI manages its own lifecycle via `start()`/`stop()`.

### Architecture Review Checklist

- [x] 영향 패키지/레이어 목록 작성 완료
- [x] Sibling scan 완료 — `render.tsx` 및 `App.tsx`에서 `channel.start()` 호출 없음 확인; `createInteractiveRuntime.test.ts` 기존 mock 패턴 확인
- [x] 대안 최소 2개 검토 완료
- [x] 결정 근거 문서화 완료 (no-op `write()` trade-off)

## Solution

Add `useEffect(() => { void channel.start(); return () => { void channel.stop(); }; }, [channel])` to `App.tsx`. This triggers `wireSessionEvents()` on mount so session events (`text_delta`, `complete`, `tool_start`, `error`) are wired to `TuiStateManager`, and calls `transportRegistry.stopAll()` on unmount. Document `write()` as a no-op with an explicit architecture note. Create an integration test suite validating the full session-event → `TuiStateManager` → `onChange` roundtrip without a PTY.

| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `packages/agent-transport/src/tui/App.tsx`                                           | Add `useEffect` with `channel.start()` / `channel.stop()`              |
| `packages/agent-transport/src/tui/TuiInteractionChannel.ts`                          | Document `write()` as intentionally unused in TUI direct-wiring mode   |
| `packages/agent-transport/src/tui/__tests__/TuiInteractionChannel.lifecycle.test.ts` | New: integration tests covering Groups A (A1–A6), B (B1–B4), C (C1–C3) |

## Completion Criteria

- [x] TC-01: `App.tsx` contains a `useEffect` that calls `channel.start()` on mount
- [x] TC-02: The same `useEffect` cleanup function calls `channel.stop()`
- [x] TC-03: `TuiInteractionChannel.write()` has a comment stating it is intentionally unused in TUI direct-wiring mode
- [x] TC-04: A1 — after `channel.start()`, emitting `text_delta` updates `stateManager.streamingText` to a non-empty string
- [x] TC-05: A2 — after `channel.start()`, emitting `complete` adds an assistant entry to `stateManager.history`
- [x] TC-06: A3 — after `channel.start()`, emitting `tool_start` adds an entry to `stateManager.activeTools`
- [x] TC-07: A4 — after `channel.start()`, emitting `error` adds an error entry to `stateManager.history`
- [x] TC-08: A5 — calling `start()` twice results in exactly one handler call per event (no duplicate subscriptions)
- [x] TC-09: A6 — calling `stop()` after `start()` calls `transportRegistry.stopAll` exactly once
- [x] TC-10: B1 — `handleInput('hello')` calls `session.submit` with `'hello'`
- [x] TC-11: B2 — `handleInput('hello')` followed by `text_delta` + `complete` events results in an assistant entry in `stateManager.history`
- [x] TC-12: B3 — `handleInput('/help')` calls `executeCommand`, NOT `session.submit`
- [x] TC-13: B4 — `handleInput('hello')` triggers `channel.onChange` at least once
- [x] TC-14: C1 — any session event emitted after `start()` causes `channel.onChange` to fire
- [x] TC-15: C2 — `channel.onChange` does not fire for events emitted before `start()` is called
- [x] TC-16: C3 — `channel.onChange` does not fire for events emitted after `stop()` is called
- [x] TC-17: `pnpm --filter @robota-sdk/agent-transport test` exits 0 with all new tests passing
- [x] TC-18: `pnpm --filter @robota-sdk/agent-transport typecheck` exits 0

## Test implementation notes

- Use a mock `InteractiveSession` with `emitEvent(name, ...args)` — same pattern as `createInteractiveRuntime.test.ts`
- Do NOT render Ink (`render.tsx`) — pure TypeScript tests, no PTY
- Shared mocks in `fixtures/MockSession.ts` if multiple test files need them
