…uation
Adds opt-in `claude --resume` continuation across consecutive webhooks
of the same logical thread (ClickUp task, GitHub PR, Linear issue).
Without this, every webhook spawned a fresh Claude subprocess that had
to re-read all prior comments, re-derive context, and re-fetch data via
API calls — losing 90%+ of the model's reasoning trace between turns.
## Why
Real-world incident driving this: 2026-05-02 ClickUp task 86c9kyquv.
User asked the Oracle for a marketing report (Phase 1, ~$3.21, 22min,
43k tokens), then 30 minutes later asked to "implement recommendation 3".
The fresh follow-up Oracle had to:
- Re-read the entire Google Doc via API call
- Re-derive what "rec 3" meant from raw text
- Re-discover the cuid Vitalmadente
- Re-fetch GA4/GBP/Ads data baseline
- LOSE the entire reasoning trace (rejected hypotheses, alternatives
considered) that the prior Oracle had in context
With session resume, the second Oracle inherits the full conversation
history — knows what was tried, what was rejected, and why — at zero
re-derivation cost.
## How — backend
- `Trigger.resume_sessions BOOLEAN` column (default false). Existing
triggers keep current "fresh subprocess" behaviour. Operator opts in
per-trigger via dashboard checkbox or YAML.
- `trigger_session_threads` table maps `(trigger_id, dedup_key)` →
`claude_session_id`. The dedup_key is extracted per-source by
`_extract_dedup_key()` in `routes/triggers.py`:
- ClickUp (source=custom + slug contains 'clickup'): task.id
- GitHub: pull_request.number / issue.number
- Linear: issue.id
Extensible for new sources.
- `run_claude(..., resume_session_id=...)` in `ADWs/runner.py`
prepends `--resume <id>` to the CLI invocation. Captures `session_id`
from output JSON and returns it for upsert. Silently no-ops on
non-Anthropic providers (OpenClaude doesn't expose --resume yet).
- `_execute_trigger` flow:
1. If `trigger.resume_sessions`: extract dedup_key, lookup prior
session_id from `trigger_session_threads`.
2. Pass to `run_claude` (None = fresh).
3. After run: if claude_session_id captured, upsert into
`trigger_session_threads`.
4. If resume failed (stale session): retry once without resume.
## How — UI
- `/settings → Sessions` tab (new):
* Default-on toggle for new triggers
* Auto-cleanup window (1-365 days) + daily cleanup hour (0-23)
* Force compaction turn count (1-500)
* Storage stats (count + disk usage of `~/.claude/projects/`)
* Live list of active threads with manual reset + bulk cleanup-stale
- Trigger edit form: "Enable session resume" checkbox with explanatory
inline tooltip.
## Endpoints
- `GET /api/settings/sessions` — global config + storage stats
- `PUT /api/settings/sessions` — update defaults
- `GET /api/sessions` — list active threads with staleness flag
- `DELETE /api/sessions/<id>` — manual reset
- `POST /api/sessions/cleanup-stale` — bulk delete rows older than
`auto_cleanup_days`
## Schema
Alembic migration `0012_clickup_session_resume.py`:
- ALTER `triggers` ADD `resume_sessions BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE`
- CREATE `trigger_session_threads` (id, trigger_id FK, dedup_key,
claude_session_id, last_used_at, created_at) with UNIQUE
(trigger_id, dedup_key) and index on (trigger_id, last_used_at).
- Reversible via downgrade().
## Backward compatibility
- All existing triggers keep `resume_sessions=false` (no behaviour change).
- `run_claude` callers unchanged unless they explicitly pass
`resume_session_id`.
- Schema migration is idempotent (checks `_has_column` / `_has_table`
before alter/create).
## Cost / quality impact (measured on 86c9kyquv)
Without resume (status quo):
- Oracle 1: 22min, 43k tok, $3.21
- Oracle 2 (re-read everything): 11min, 18k tok, $2.19
- Total: $5.40 + degraded continuity
With resume (projected, prompt cache + reused context):
- Oracle 1: 22min, 43k tok, $3.21
- Oracle 2 (resume): 4min, 8k tok, $0.80
- Total: ~$4.00, 25% saved + full reasoning continuity

Hey - I've found 1 issue, and left some high level feedback:
- The stale-session retry logic in
_execute_triggerrelies on a substring check for'session'in stderr, which seems brittle; consider tightening this to look for a specific error code/message from the CLI or exposing a structured error to avoid accidentally retrying for unrelated failures. - The cleanup endpoint in
cleanup_stale_sessionscurrently calls.count()and then.delete()on the same query, which can be expensive on large tables; if you only use the deleted count for auditing, consider usingrows = q.all()andlen(rows)or database-specificRETURNINGto avoid a second full scan. - In
SessionsTab, the numeric inputs forauto_cleanup_days,cleanup_hour_local, andforce_compaction_turnscallsaveon every keystroke, which can spam/settings/sessionsupdates; adding a small debounce or an explicit 'Save' action would reduce unnecessary network calls and backend writes.

## Overall Comments
- The stale-session retry logic in `_execute_trigger` relies on a substring check for `'session'` in stderr, which seems brittle; consider tightening this to look for a specific error code/message from the CLI or exposing a structured error to avoid accidentally retrying for unrelated failures.
- The cleanup endpoint in `cleanup_stale_sessions` currently calls `.count()` and then `.delete()` on the same query, which can be expensive on large tables; if you only use the deleted count for auditing, consider using `rows = q.all()` and `len(rows)` or database-specific `RETURNING` to avoid a second full scan.
- In `SessionsTab`, the numeric inputs for `auto_cleanup_days`, `cleanup_hour_local`, and `force_compaction_turns` call `save` on every keystroke, which can spam `/settings/sessions` updates; adding a small debounce or an explicit 'Save' action would reduce unnecessary network calls and backend writes.

**suggestion (performance):** `list_sessions` does an N+1 query pattern when resolving trigger names.
`TriggerSessionThread.query...all()` is followed by `Trigger.query.get(r.trigger_id)` inside the loop, causing one additional query per row (N+1). For installations with many active session threads this can be costly. Please either join `Trigger` in the initial query or load all needed triggers in a single `in_` query and map them by `id` to avoid the N+1 pattern.
```suggestion
out = []
# Preload all referenced triggers to avoid N+1 queries
trigger_ids = {r.trigger_id for r in rows}
triggers = []
if trigger_ids:
triggers = (
Trigger.query
.filter(Trigger.id.in_(trigger_ids))
.all()
)
triggers_by_id = {t.id: t for t in triggers}
now = datetime.now(timezone.utc)
for r in rows:
trig = triggers_by_id.get(r.trigger_id)
last_used = r.last_used_at

TL;DR
Adds opt-in
claude --resumefor consecutive webhooks of the same logical thread (e.g. ClickUp task, GitHub PR). Measured 60% faster + 66% cheaper for follow-up turns vs fresh subprocess on a real ClickUp task. Validated end-to-end against the livelsoldado/evo-nexusfork before this PR.Problem
Today every webhook spawns a fresh
claude --printsubprocess. The model has zero memory of prior turns — it must re-read all comments, re-derive context, and re-fetch data via API calls. For multi-comment workflows (reports → follow-up questions → implementations) this is:Solution
Per-trigger opt-in
--resume. When a webhook fires for the same logical thread (extracted via per-source_extract_dedup_key), the dispatcher passes the priorclaude_session_idto the CLI:The model now has the full conversation history of prior turns in its context window. Zero re-derivation cost.
Real-world measurement (today, 2026-05-03)
Tested on a live ClickUp "Relatório GBP" task (
86c9m056r) — client audit:--resumeResume saving on #3 vs equivalent #1 cold-start (controlled comparison — same task, same agent, same MCP fan-out):
The follow-up Oracle had the full reasoning trace from #1 — so when the user asked a clarifying question, no re-discovery was needed. It just answered.
Quality wins (not just cost)
The fresh-subprocess model loses things the dollar number doesn't capture:
Reasoning trace continuity: Oracle 1 explored 5 hypotheses before settling on a recommendation. Oracle 2 (fresh) sees only the final recommendation in the doc — not the rejected alternatives. With resume, Oracle 2 inherits the full trace. When asked "why did you discard hypothesis X?", it can answer.
Implicit IDs: Oracle 1 resolved
client_cuid=cent4...andgbp_account_id=accounts/113.... Oracle 2 (fresh) has to re-resolve. With resume, instant continuation.Partial-success continuity: when an MCP call fails midway, fresh Oracle re-tries everything. Resumed Oracle remembers what already succeeded and skips redundant calls.
No prompt re-engineering: the long system prompt (~6k tokens of guards, cookbook, routing tree) is loaded once and cached for the session. Subsequent turns ride the prompt cache.
