The watchdog fires reloadWebviewForRecovery() without tracking it, so the recovery could reassign webview.html after the provider was disposed or the watched view was disposed/replaced while the HTML was being generated. Track the operation with an epoch token: capture it before the await and bail out before assigning webview.html when the provider is disposed, the epoch changed, or this.view no longer references the captured view. clearWebviewResources() bumps the epoch so sidebar view disposal and provider disposal invalidate any in-flight recovery. Also add fake-timer watchdog coverage for the tab-panel branch (WebviewPanel shape): a hidden tab does not reload, the onDidChangeViewState callback resets the heartbeat grace window when the tab becomes visible, and a stale heartbeat reloads a visible tab.
Address two minor review threads on the watchdog spec: - Cover the reload rejection path: stub the recovery HTML regeneration to reject and assert the failure is logged and webview.html is untouched. - Assert the watchdog interval was actually scheduled before the sidebar disposal test disposes the view, so the post-disposal null check proves the watchdog was stopped rather than never having started.

@coderabbitai review — head is now ba72a4e. Both warnings addressed: (1) Regression Evidence — tab-panel branch coverage added (WebviewPanel-shaped mock: hidden tab no reload, becoming visible resets grace, stale heartbeat reloads). (2) Lifecycle Resource Cleanup — reloadWebviewForRecovery now captures an epoch token and bails without assigning webview.html when the provider is disposed, the epoch changed, or the view was replaced; covered by 3 mid-recovery fake-timer tests. The two minor test threads also landed (reload-rejection reinterpreted onto the current path — the old command no longer exists; watchdog-active precondition assertion). 175/175 ClineProvider tests pass. |

When this happens to me, I can return it to normal without restarting and it continues working (well, it was working behind the scenes, too, as far as I can tell): leftclick and drag the ZooCode tab to another location in the UI and unclick, and it will pop back up (then just drag it back to its original location, and all is normal again). |
What: Resolve the ClineProvider.ts conflicts with current main and adapt the heartbeat-recovery specs to main's removal of the per-provider code index status subscription. Why: Main removed updateCodeIndexStatusSubscription/codeIndexManager from ClineProvider (registry-based scope now), so the PR's stale-resolve guards stay but the deleted subscription block is dropped. The viewB test helper now emulates the real onDidDispose(listener, thisArgs, disposables) contract so the replacement-view subscription counts still match what the merged provider installs (message, visibility, disposal registration, configuration). Impact: Merge conflicts resolved; both CodeRabbit-requested mid-resolve guards and their regression specs are intact and passing.

825-848: This provider-disposal test still does not prove that recovery was in flight.An earlier review asked for this fix in all three cancellation tests. The sidebar-disposal and view-replacement tests now defer
getWebviewHtml()and assert it was entered. This test still mocksgetState()with afinishReloadthat starts as a no-op, and it never asserts that recovery started beforeprovider.dispose()runs. If the watchdog never starts recovery, the unchanged-HTML assertion still passes. The test also builds its state withas unknown as ExtensionState. The path instructions forbid unjustified double assertions.Make it match the other two tests:
- Defer
provider["getWebviewHtml"].- Assert
toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)before disposal.- Remove the
getStatecast.As per path instructions, "Flag tests that assert in-flight behavior only after the call completes" and new code must introduce no "unjustified double assertions".

Ignore the sleep gap before declaring the heartbeat stale.
The watchdog measures heartbeat age with Date.now(), which is wall-clock time. During system sleep, the extension-host timer and the webview's 30-second heartbeat timer both pause. On macOS and Linux, libuv and Chromium schedule timers on a monotonic clock that does not advance during suspend. The wall clock does advance. After a wake from a sleep longer than about 90 seconds, two cases occur:
- The first watchdog tick sees
Date.now() - lastWebviewHeartbeatAtinclude the whole sleep time. - The webview's next heartbeat can still be up to 30 seconds away.
If the watchdog tick fires before that heartbeat, the check at Line 3407 fails and reloadWebviewForRecovery() starts. In production, getHtmlContent() finishes in milliseconds. The revision guard at Line 3458 therefore does not see the late heartbeat, and the code assigns webview.html to a healthy, visible renderer. The reload discards unsent composer text, pending attachments, and scroll position. The trigger is ordinary: a laptop sleeps while the sidebar is visible. With uniform timer phases, the reload happens on about one wake in four.
The fix: detect a suspend from the tick gap and restart the grace window instead of reloading. Add a test that moves Date.now() forward by more than 90 seconds between two watchdog ticks and asserts that webview.html does not change.
Proposed fix
private startWebviewWatchdog(): void {
this.updateWebviewHeartbeat()
+ this.lastWebviewWatchdogTickAt = Date.now()
if (this.webviewWatchdogInterval) {
clearInterval(this.webviewWatchdogInterval)
}
this.webviewWatchdogInterval = setInterval(() => {
+ const now = Date.now()
+ const tickGap = now - this.lastWebviewWatchdogTickAt
+ this.lastWebviewWatchdogTickAt = now
+ // A tick far later than scheduled means the host was suspended or
+ // blocked; the wall clock jumped while both timers were paused.
+ // Grant a fresh grace window instead of reloading a live renderer.
+ if (tickGap > ClineProvider.WEBVIEW_WATCHDOG_TICK_MS * 1.5) {
+ this.updateWebviewHeartbeat()
+ return
+ }
if (this.view?.visible !== true) {

Review comment at @src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts around lines 3403 - 3412:
Update the webview watchdog interval in ClineProvider to track the time between
ticks; when a tick gap exceeds the expected interval by a suitable margin, reset
the heartbeat grace window and skip reloadWebviewForRecovery for that tick. Add
a test that advances Date.now by more than 90 seconds between watchdog ticks and
verifies webview.html remains unchanged.

Description
On very long sessions the webview can turn into the unrecoverable "gray screen of death": the webview's renderer process crashes (a platform-level failure — a React
ErrorBoundaryalready wraps the whole app, so this is not a JS render error and cannot be caught in-page), and the only remedy was restarting VS Code.This PR adds heartbeat-based crash detection and automatic recovery:
webview-ui/src/App.tsx): posts a lightweightwebviewHeartbeatmessage on mount and every 30s, using the exactwebviewDidLaunchpattern. Interval is cleared on unmount.ClineProvider): a per-provider watchdog (startWebviewWatchdog, started fromresolveWebviewView, cleared indispose(), double-start guarded) ticks every 60s. If the view is visible but no heartbeat arrived for >90s, the renderer is dead: log one line and run VS Code'sworkbench.action.webview.reloadWebviewActionto bring the webview back.onDidChangeViewState/onDidChangeVisibility) reset the heartbeat timestamp when the view becomes visible, granting a full grace window instead of false-reloading.Task execution is unaffected throughout — it lives in the extension host; only the UI reloads.
Test Procedure
src/core/webview/__tests__/ClineProvider.spec.ts(+6 tests, fake timers): fresh heartbeat → no reload; visible + stale >90s → exactly oneworkbench.action.webview.reloadWebviewAction; hidden + stale → no reload; hidden-stale then visible → grace reset;dispose()stops the watchdog; doubleresolveWebviewViewdoes not stack intervals.webview-ui/src/__tests__/App.spec.tsx(+2 tests): heartbeat on mount and every 30s; no heartbeats after unmount.cd src && ./node_modules/.bin/vitest run core/webview→ 28 files / 511 passed.cd src && pnpm run check-types→ 0 errors; webview-ui and packages/types typechecks → 0 errors.Pre-Submission Checklist

Additional Notes
Known limitation: a watchdog-triggered reload restarts the webview page, so unsent composer text, pending image attachments, and scroll position are lost (task state itself is safe — it lives in the extension host). This is strictly better than the status quo (gray screen → full VS Code restart loses the same plus session continuity). Follow-up idea: persist the draft into extension state before reload / on change.
Design notes:
workbench.action.webview.reloadWebviewActionreloads all webviews in the window, so a pathological crash-loop would periodically reload other views too. Follow-up: scope the reload to our own view (re-setwebview.htmlor dispose + re-resolve) and/or add backoff.Get in Touch
