yetone 055f17883f gateway: a Claude subscription conversation the client sends back rewritten goes on in the run that had its last turn, and Claude Code's temp images go with their session (#912, margbug01) — Alma takes the [Context: …] block out of its last user message once the turn is over, the <alma_notification> block out of the end of the reply, and picks the tools for each turn, so turnKey, which hashes all of it, never matched and every turn started a new claude -p told the whole conversation, written to the prompt cache again with its images. ended keeps a looseTurn beside the key: the settings without the tools, the conversation before the last turn hashed, and the last turn's messages one by one. When the exact key misses, rewritten takes the one idle run or saved session whose looseTurn has the same owner, settings and earlier turns, the same roles, tool calls and results in the last turn, where a user message only had one part taken out (cutFrom) and the reply is a non-empty start of what the run said. Two that could be it start a new run, as does an idle run not told a tool offered now (offers) or a saved session one of whose tools is gone (toolsCover). Claude Code's <CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR or /tmp>/claude-<uid>/<work project>/<session> folder, where it keeps the images it was given, is removed with the session (removeSession), and the sweep removes those a stopped gateway left once their session file is gone and nothing in them changed for a day; CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR joins agentenv.Vars. Old images are still sent to a new run: replacing them would change what the model sees. docs/subsystems/claude-subscription-bridge.md is new. claude_rewritten_test.go has a case for each relaxation (failing before the change) and one for each rule that keeps another conversation out (each failing with that rule taken out). Tested for real with the owner's Claude Max account in a sandbox HOME: turn one asked with a [Context] block and two tools, turn two sent it back with the block taken out, the reply cut short and one tool, and went on in the same claude process ("goes on in its run", cache_read 1932). go vet, go build (darwin, GOOS=linux nogui, GOOS=windows) and go test -tags nogui ./... under a temp HOME pass.

Subsystem design references

These pages describe current responsibilities, runtime paths, state, and contracts. Start with the subsystem relevant to your task, then follow its source links to verify the implementation you change.

Subsystem Reference
Built-in subscriptions moving to plugins Provider and plugin ownership
Plugins that run on the gateway's requests and replies Gateway middleware
Claude subscription turns across Claude Code runs Claude subscription bridge

A subsystem can span several packages or repositories. Its reference describes the behavior those parts provide together; it does not need to list every function.

Maintain a reference

Update the owning reference in the same PR when a change alters a documented responsibility, interface, state transition, runtime path, compatibility rule, or failure behavior. An internal refactor that preserves these contracts does not require a prose change.

Keep each fact in one reference and link to it from agent instructions or other pages. Link to source files and named symbols rather than copying implementation details that change frequently. Explain field meanings and constraints that signatures alone do not express.

For a new reference, include the responsibilities and boundaries, source of truth, main runtime paths, state transitions, important constraints, and existing verification commands. Include failure and compatibility behavior where relevant. Document current behavior separately from proposed changes; the proposal belongs in its issue or PR.

Describe a PR's semantic changes

For each affected subsystem, explain the observable change with its trigger and before/after behavior. Include changes to interfaces, state, compatibility, and failure behavior when relevant. Link the affected reference, implementation, and verification evidence. State when a refactor preserves the documented behavior.

For example, a change to plugin adoption should explain which migration state and account condition trigger it, which implementation handles requests before and after adoption, and which test exercises that transition.

This is an author-provided explanation that a reviewer verifies against the diff and surrounding code. It is not an automatically proven compatibility verdict.

Review a change

  1. Identify the affected subsystem and the actual runtime path, including plugin or built-in ownership.
  2. Compare the claimed before/after behavior with the base and head implementation. Trace relevant callers and state transitions beyond the changed lines.
  3. Check that changed contracts appear in the owning reference and that source links still resolve.
  4. Check that the cited tests or runtime evidence exercise the claimed behavior. Report checks that were not run.

A documentation update alone does not prove the implementation. Existing tests and runtime evidence remain necessary for behavior changes.
