Summary

Two changes to align with the software-agent-sdk feat/async-llm-completions branch:

1. Async conversations — run: true on all messages

Add run: true to all outgoing messages so the agent loop starts automatically in async mode:

  • buildInitialMessage (agent-server-adapter.ts) — the initial_message in the start conversation payload now includes run: true
  • WebSocket sends (conversation-websocket-context.tsx) — subsequent user messages sent via WebSocket now spread run: true onto the payload
  • REST fallback sends already had run: true

2. Interrupt endpoint in local mode

When stopping a conversation on a local agent-server backend, call POST /conversations/{id}/interrupt instead of /pause:

Endpoint Behavior
/pause Waits for the current LLM call to finish
/interrupt Cancels in-flight request immediately

Cloud mode continues to use pauseCloudSandbox unchanged.

Dependencies

  • Bumps @openhands/typescript-client to 2cf7b77 which adds the typed interruptConversation() method (PR #174)
  • Adds MSW mock handler for the /interrupt endpoint

Two changes to align with the software-agent-sdk feat/async-llm-completions
branch:

1. Async conversations: Add run: true to all outgoing messages so the
   agent loop starts automatically. This applies to:
   - initial_message in the start conversation payload
   - WebSocket message sends (subsequent user messages)
   - REST fallback sends (already had run: true)

2. Interrupt endpoint in local mode: When stopping a conversation on a
   local agent-server backend, call POST /conversations/{id}/interrupt
   instead of /pause. Unlike pause (which waits for the current LLM
   call to finish), interrupt cancels in-flight requests immediately.
   Cloud mode continues to use pauseCloudSandbox unchanged.

Also:
- Bump @openhands/typescript-client to commit 2cf7b77 which adds
  the interruptConversation() typed client method (PR #174)
- Add MSW mock handler for the /interrupt endpoint

Code Review

Taste Rating: 🔴 Needs improvement - Blocking supply chain risk

Overview

This PR updates the frontend to work with async conversations by adding run: true to all outgoing messages and switches from /pause to /interrupt endpoint for local mode. The implementation is straightforward, but there's a critical supply chain security issue that must be addressed before merging.


[CRITICAL ISSUES]

Supply Chain Risk - Too New Dependency

The openhands-agent-server version bump from 1.22.1 to 1.23.0 violates the repository's 7-day freshness guardrail:

  • Package: openhands-agent-server
  • Version: 1.23.0
  • Upload time: 2026-05-20T23:52:47 UTC (less than 2 hours ago)
  • Current time: 2026-05-21T01:55:35 UTC
  • Age: ~2 hours (well under the 7-day minimum)

Per the repository's supply chain security policy, dependency updates must wait at least 7 days after publication to allow time for the community to identify supply chain attacks or critical bugs.

Required action: Wait until 2026-05-27 (7 days after publication) before merging this PR. Once the version ages past the guardrail, verify the release provenance and re-request review.


[IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES]

See inline comments for specific suggestions.


[RISK ASSESSMENT]

  • [Overall PR] ⚠️ Risk Assessment: 🔴 HIGH

The dependency update to an extremely fresh version (< 2 hours old) presents significant supply chain risk. The code changes themselves are low risk - they're straightforward API updates with good CI coverage - but the timing of the dependency makes this a high-risk merge until the version ages appropriately.

Recommendation: Do not merge until the openhands-agent-server 1.23.0 package is at least 7 days old. After the waiting period, verify release provenance before merging.


VERDICT:
Needs rework: Wait for dependency to age past 7-day guardrail before merging.

KEY INSIGHT:
The implementation correctly aligns with async conversation patterns, but merging a dependency uploaded less than 2 hours ago bypasses critical supply chain protections.


Improve this review? If any feedback above seems incorrect or irrelevant to this repository, you can teach the reviewer to do better:

  1. Add a .agents/skills/custom-codereview-guide.md file to your branch (or edit it if one already exists) with the /codereview trigger and the context the reviewer is missing (e.g., "Security concerns about X do not apply here because Y"). See the customization docs for the required frontmatter format.
  2. Re-request a review - the reviewer reads guidelines from the PR branch, so your changes take effect immediately.
  3. When your PR is merged, the guideline file goes through normal code review by repository maintainers.

Taste Rating: 🟢 Good taste - Clean, coordinated implementation

Summary

Clean implementation that adds async conversation support by adding run: true to all message sends and switches local mode to use immediate interruption. All previous review feedback has been addressed:

✅ Test coverage added for local interrupt path
✅ Doc comments explain cloud vs local semantics
✅ REST fallback verified to already include run: true
✅ MSW mock added for /interrupt endpoint

The changes are straightforward:

  • buildInitialMessage adds run: true to initial message
  • WebSocket sends include run: true with clear comment
  • Local mode uses interruptConversation for immediate cancellation
  • Cloud mode unchanged (still uses pauseCloudSandbox)

[RISK ASSESSMENT]

  • Overall PR: 🟢 LOW
  • Breaking change: Requires agent-server 1.23.0+ (intentional, version bumped in config)
  • Code quality: Clean, well-documented, properly tested
  • No security concerns

VERDICT:
Worth merging - Coordinated changes with agent-server async mode, well-tested and documented.

KEY INSIGHT:
This PR cleanly coordinates frontend changes with agent-server async capabilities - the version bump to 1.23.0 ensures compatibility.
