A tool wedged inside _ConcurrentToolAuthorizationGate hung the whole turn
forever (#79719): excluded_seconds() measured residency in gate.run() —
arbitrary code — so an open window grew 1:1 with wall clock and the batch
deadline's remaining was constant (remaining = deadline - window_started;
now cancels out). A hanging pre_tool_call plugin or an approval round-trip
to a dead client defeated the deadline entirely. The serialization lock was
also an unbounded acquire, so every other worker needing authorization
parked behind the wedged holder forever.
Fix, in two halves:
- tools/approval.py grows per-session human-wait accounting
(human_wait_window / human_wait_seconds). The two places that are
verifiably blocked on a HUMAN — the CLI approval prompt and the gateway
approval poll loop — mark their own windows. Both are intrinsically
bounded by approvals.timeout; the open-window read is additionally
clamped to that timeout plus a margin as belt-and-braces.
- _ConcurrentToolAuthorizationGate keeps only serialization, with a bounded
acquire (approvals.timeout + 60s; on expiry the prompt runs unserialized —
the same degradation the start-order gate accepted in #79705).
excluded_seconds() becomes a baseline-delta read of the session's
human-wait total.
A wedged plugin now contributes nothing to the exclusion, so the batch
times out at the normal deadline with correctly labeled results, while a
genuine approval wait — which can legitimately exceed any fixed bound —
still extends the deadline in full. E2E (real AIAgent, worktree imports):
wedged-plugin batch on main never ends (>30s observed, 3s deadline); with
the fix it ends at 3.0s. A 4s simulated approval over a 2s deadline
completes without a timeout label.
Closes#79719
