What

The Agent Sessions list's Errors cell now splits failures (red) from warnings (amber) by the same rule the Overview's checklist uses (#920), and hovering a chip lists the breakdown by label so a reader can triage without opening the session.

before after
1 turn / 24 tool, both red 4 failures (red) / 21 warnings (amber), hover → tool_unavailable · github_search ×3, provider_error — ended the run

How

  • Query (aiSessionPageQuery): the per-trace failedSpans stays thin (SpanId, ParentSpanId, IsToolCall, IsLlmCall, atMs), the deepest filter runs once per trace, and only the page query collects a detail tuple with the migration-0032 columns the classifier reads (ErrorType, StatusMessage, FailedToolCallResult, ToolName, VendorId, ResponseId) — 50 per trace, texts clipped to 400 chars. The session level ships the latest 100 deepest failures as failures, plus terminalSpanId: the span the last turn died on (a turn-root failure in the trace, that trace's last failure, resolved over the last non-mirror trace) or ''. Index-only, no fan-out.
  • Classification stays in one place: classifyFailure(span) is now classifyFailureSignal(signal) over a span, and failureSeverity(kind, terminal) is the exported FAILURE_KINDS rule. summarizeIndexFailures in @maple/agent-sessions classifies index rows through both, dedupes gateway mirrors by response id (keeping the terminal span's identity under whichever observation wins), and groups by label.
  • Wire: AiSessionListItem.failures: { kind, label, tool?, count, severity, terminal }[]. list_agent_sessions prints the same breakdown, ! on the red ones. One column list generates the tuple's SQL, ClickHouse type and decoder (indexFailedSpanFromTuple).
  • UI: red/amber chips (no icon — severity is the colour, as on the Overview) with the breakdown as tooltip and as accessible name; Errors column 100→140 in both the layout table and the column def, responsive thresholds shifted by the same 40px. The list span annotates maple.ai.failures_classified and maple.ai.failure_rows_capped.

Limits (stated in code)

  • terminalSpanId is the Overview's verdict one trace deep: turn-root failure approximated as a failed non-tool non-model span or a failed root span. A turn crossing traces, or a failed model call whose parent is an app span, can differ.
  • Refusals/truncation (finish reasons), loops and stalls are not in the index and stay on the detail page; the index also carries no gen_ai.response.status and no provider-attempt marker, so a rate limit reported only there is a plain error here, and a gateway's attempts count where the Overview folds them.
  • Rows materialized before 0032 (2026-09-11) classify as a plain error; ages out with the 30-day TTL.
  • A trace past 50 failures ships a sample of them; a session past 100 ships its latest 100. The chip sums what was shipped; errorSpanCount (the sort key) is the whole count.
  • Chips + hover only. A "needs attention" filter/sort would need the classification at insert time (a FailureKind column) — not in this PR.

Verified

  • packages/agent-sessions, packages/query-engine-integrations (baseline regenerated), packages/domain, apps/web list tests green; scoped typechecks green.
  • Real ClickHouse (docker): ai-trace-index-materialization.clickhouse.e2e decodes the tuple and classifies both fixture sessions; catalog.clickhouse.e2e analyzer sweep 391/391; ai-tools e2e green.
  • Lab page (/lab/agent-sessions) driven with Playwright: both chips on one line, both hover breakdowns render.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Agent session lists now show classified failure labels, severity, counts, affected tools, and terminal versus non-terminal status.
    • Failure details include provider, rate-limit, timeout, unavailable-tool, and tool-error cases when available.
    • Failure summaries provide clearer explanatory text and compact label breakdowns.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved failure detection and deduplication across session traces.
    • Long labels remain readable without being cut mid-label.
    • Error counts fall back to raw totals when classification is unavailable.

…ades its checks

The Errors column showed "N turn" / "N tool" counts, both read as red, so a
session that retried a rate limit looked like one whose prompt outgrew the
window. The Overview (#920) already splits failures from warnings by one rule
— red when the run died on it or its kind always needs a fix, amber when it
was survived — but only from the session's spans, which the list cannot read.

Since migration 0032 `ai_trace_index` carries every field the classifier reads
off a failed span (`ErrorType`, `StatusMessage`, `FailedToolCallResult`,
`ToolName`, `VendorId`, `ResponseId`), so the page query now ships the
session's deepest failed spans (the same filter `toolErrors`/`turnErrors`
count on, capped at 100) plus which trace ends last and whether its turn
failed. The backend classifies them with the same `classifyFailureSignal`
and `failureSeverity` the detail page uses — `classifyFailure` is now that
function over a span — and the row carries `failures`: label, count,
severity, terminal.

The cell is a red "N failures" chip and an amber "N warnings" chip; hovering
either lists the breakdown by label (`context_length_exceeded`,
`tool_error · run_tests ×3`, "ended the run") so a reader triages without
opening the session. The column widens 100→140 so a chip stays on one line,
and the responsive thresholds shift with it. `list_agent_sessions` prints the
same breakdown, `!` on the red ones.

Terminal is the Overview's verdict one trace deep: the last trace had a
non-tool failure, and the failure it died on is that trace's last. Finish
reasons, loops and stalls are not in the index and stay the detail page's;
all are amber there unless terminal. Rows materialized before 0032 classify
as a plain `error`.

Verified against real ClickHouse: the materialization e2e decodes the tuple
and classifies both fixture sessions, and the analyzer sweep passes.

Preserve responseStatus in indexed failure signals.

classifyFailureSignal uses responseStatus for rate-limit and context classification. signalOf always removes that field. For example, a failed span whose only classification signal is responseStatus: "429" is rateLimited on the detail page but plain error in the list.

Add responseStatus to IndexFailedSpan, the indexed tuple and decoder. Forward the value here.

…ship less of them

Review round on #927.

A failure with no tool — a rate limit, a context overflow, most of them —
500'd the list: the summary carried `tool: undefined` as a present key, and
the wire schema's `optionalKey` rejects that. The key is now absent, and the
route test stubs a tool-less failure so the encode path is covered.

The verdict is now by identity. The page query resolves ONE span the last
turn died on (`terminalSpanId`): a turn-root failure in the trace — a failed
span that is neither a tool nor a model call, or a failed root — then that
trace's last deepest failure, resolved over the session's last non-mirror
trace, so a retried-and-recovered model call is amber as the Overview has
it, and an OpenRouter mirror trace ending last cannot take the verdict with
it. `summarizeIndexFailures` marks the group holding that span, under
whichever observation the dedupe kept; a span the query did not ship marks
nothing, never a neighbour by position.

The page query collects less: the split and the verdict read a thin
`(SpanId, ParentSpanId, IsToolCall, IsLlmCall, atMs)` tuple with the deepest
filter hoisted to one pass per trace, and only the page query collects the
detail tuple, 50 per trace with both texts clipped to 400 chars — the
details fan-out and the distributions no longer materialize 2000 × 1.4 KB
per trace they never read. The shipped breakdown is the latest 100 deepest
failures, ordered before the cut. The list span annotates how many failures
a page classified and how many rows hit the cap.

One column list now generates the detail tuple's SQL, its ClickHouse type
and the decoder beside them (`indexFailedSpanFromTuple`), with a positional
test; the failed-span record and the severity literal live in the domain
and the agent-sessions types alias them, like the kind already did.

UI: the TanStack column def was still 100px (only the layout table had
moved), so the chip overflowed; both are 140 now, the lab's width stops
follow. Chips carry no icon — severity is the colour, as on the Overview,
and a red chip may be a tool — and their accessible name is the breakdown,
so it is reachable without a hover. A row whose failures the index could
not classify shows its errored-span count instead of an empty cell. The MCP
cell cuts on a label boundary with `+N more`.

Documented, not fixed: the index carries no `gen_ai.response.status` and no
provider-attempt marker, so a rate limit reported only there is a plain
`error` here, and a gateway's attempts count where the Overview folds them.
