Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Summary

Fixes #70660 - Stop button disappears during active request when gateway stops.

Problem

1. When gateway disconnects during an active run, handleAbortChat returns immediately with no feedback
2. When gateway reconnects, chatRunId is cleared before any pending abort can be delivered, making the Stop button disappear

Solution

1. handleAbortChat - When disconnected but chatRunId exists, queue the abort as pendingAbort instead of silently returning. This keeps the Stop button responsive.

2. connectGateway onOpen - After reconnecting, process any pendingAbort by sending chat.abort to the gateway before clearing chatRunId.

Changes

• ui/src/ui/app-chat.ts - Added pendingAbort to ChatHost type; updated handleAbortChat to queue aborts
• ui/src/ui/app-gateway.ts - Added pendingAbort to GatewayHost type; process pending abort on reconnect

Testing

• TypeScript compiles clean
• Manual: disconnect during active run, click Stop, verify abort is delivered after reconnect

PR #70677: fix(ui): preserve Stop button during gateway disconnect and allow local abort cleanup #70660

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Summary

• Problem: The Stop button disappears when the gateway disconnects during an active request due to UI render short-circuiting.
• Why it matters: Users lose the ability to terminate ongoing processes, leading to stuck executions and requiring a hard refresh or manual kill.
• What changed: Prioritized rendering of run controls when a request is active and added a local fallback abort mechanism when offline.
• What did NOT change (scope boundary): No changes to backend abort behavior, gateway lifecycle, or request execution logic.

Change Type (select all)

• Bug fix

Scope (select all touched areas)

• UI / DX

Linked Issue/PR

• Closes #70660
• This PR fixes a bug or regression

Root Cause

• Root cause: UI rendering logic prioritized disabledReason (Disconnected state) over active run state, hiding controls when the gateway dropped.
• Missing detection / guardrail: No condition ensuring run controls persist while a request is abortable (canAbort).
• Contributing context: UI assumed connectivity as a prerequisite for control visibility.

Regression Test Plan

• Coverage level that should have caught this:

  • Seam / integration test

• Target test or file:

  • ui/src/ui/views/chat.ts
  • ui/src/ui/app-chat.ts

• Scenario the test should lock in:

  • Active request + gateway disconnect → Stop button remains visible and usable

• Why this is the smallest reliable guardrail:

  • Issue spans UI state + connection lifecycle boundary

• Existing test that already covers this (if any):

  • None specifically for disconnect + abort interaction

• If no new test is added, why not:

  • Scenario depends on simulated connection loss, currently not easily reproducible in unit tests

User-visible / Behavior Changes

• Stop button remains visible during gateway disconnects
• Users can force-abort and reset UI state even when offline
• Eliminates need for hard refresh in stuck states

Diagram

Before:
Request running -> gateway disconnect -> UI shows "Disconnected" -> Stop button hidden -> cannot abort

After:
Request running -> gateway disconnect -> Stop button still visible -> user clicks Stop -> UI resets locally

## Security Impact (required)

- Command/tool execution surface changed? No  
- Data access scope changed? No

## Repro + Verification

### Environment

- OS: Arch Linux 
- Runtime/container: Node v22.22.2  
- Model/provider: GLM 5.1  
- Integration/channel (if any): Chat UI  
- Relevant config (redacted): default setup  

### Steps

1. Start a long-running request  
2. Simulate or trigger gateway disconnect  
3. Observe UI state and Stop button  

### Expected

- Stop button remains visible  
- Clicking Stop resets local state  

### Actual (before fix)

- Stop button disappears  
- No way to terminate process from UI  

---

## Evidence

- [x] Reproduced disappearing Stop button before fix  
- [x] Verified Stop button persists after fix  
- [x] Core test suite passing (815/815)  

---

## Human Verification (required)

- Verified scenarios:
  - Active request during disconnect  
  - Force abort resets UI state correctly  

- Edge cases checked:
  - Rapid disconnect/reconnect  
  - Multiple abort attempts  

- What you did **not** verify:
  - All provider-specific streaming behaviors  
  - Mobile or alternate UI environments

## Review Conversations

- [x] I replied to or resolved every bot review conversation I addressed in this PR.  
- [x] I left unresolved only the conversations that still need reviewer or maintainer judgment.

## Compatibility / Migration

- Backward compatible? Yes  
- Config/env changes? No  
- Migration needed? No  

---

## Risks and Mitigations

- Risk:
  - Local abort may desync UI from backend state if gateway recovers mid-operation  

- Mitigation:
  - UI reset is intentional fallback behavior and aligns with user expectation of canceling the run
