cave_eve_terminal_${result.status}

Error message

cave_eve_terminal_${result.status}

What it means

The Eve adapter awaits `session.send({ message }).result()` and requires `status === "completed"`; the binding allows `"completed" | "failed" | "waiting"`. Any non-completed status is interpolated into the code — in practice `cave_eve_terminal_failed` or `cave_eve_terminal_waiting` — and throws before any identity or usage evidence is read from the events. The interpolated suffix is the actual Eve session outcome and is the starting point for diagnosis.

Solutions

1. Parse the status out of the message with `/cave_eve_terminal_([a-z]+)$/` and branch on it
2. For `waiting`: poll or resume the existing session instead of starting a new one
3. For `failed`: inspect the Eve server logs / session events for the root cause, fix it, then retry with a fresh session
4. Add a client-side session deadline so sessions cannot dangle indefinitely in waiting

null

try {
  return await adapter.run(req);
} catch (e) {
  const m = /cave_eve_terminal_([a-z]+)$/.exec((e as Error).message);
  if (m?.[1] === 'waiting') return pollSessionUntilSettled(session);
  if (m?.[1] === 'failed' && attempt < 2) return runOnce(req, attempt + 1);
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Eve runtime error mid-run → `cave_eve_terminal_failed`; session paused awaiting external input/approval → `cave_eve_terminal_waiting`; cancellation propagated by the Eve server as a failed status.

Common situations: Eve server-side incidents or resource exhaustion; prompts exceeding server limits; sessions left dangling in `waiting` because a required event or approval never arrives.
