OpenCode request ${input.requestId} is no longer pending

Error message

OpenCode request ${input.requestId} is no longer pending

What it means

Runtime requests (permission approvals, native questions) are tracked in `#pendingRuntimeRequests`. `resolveRuntimeRequest` throws when the given `requestId` is no longer in that map — it was already resolved, rejected, handed off, expired, or dropped when the session closed. This prevents double-submission of an answer to OpenCode's permission/question reply APIs.

Solutions

1. List currently answerable requests with `session.pendingRuntimeRequests()` and only call `resolveRuntimeRequest` for ids present there.
2. Treat the error as idempotent success: if the request was already resolved, the intended effect likely happened — log and continue.
3. Do not persist requestId resolution across process restarts without replaying `pendingRuntimeRequests()`; recover state before resolving.
4. Debounce/deduplicate resolution calls (e.g. disable the button once resolution starts) to avoid double submission.

Example fix

// before
await session.resolveRuntimeRequest({ requestId, turnId, resolution }); // throws if gone

// after
const pending = session.pendingRuntimeRequests().find(r => r.requestId === requestId);
if (pending) {
  await session.resolveRuntimeRequest({ requestId, turnId, resolution });
}

const exists = session.pendingRuntimeRequests().some(r => r.requestId === requestId);
if (!exists) return; // already resolved or expired

function isPending(session, requestId) { return session.pendingRuntimeRequests().some(r => r.requestId === requestId); }

try {
  await session.resolveRuntimeRequest({ requestId, turnId, resolution });
} catch (e) {
  if (e.message.includes('is no longer pending')) {
    logger.info({ requestId }, 'runtime request already resolved; treating as no-op');
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling `resolveRuntimeRequest({ requestId, turnId, resolution })` for a request that was already resolved earlier in this run, auto-expired via `handoffRuntimeRequest`, cancelled by `close()`, or that never existed on this session (e.g. after a restart the in-memory map is empty).

Common situations: A UI queues a permission answer and a durable handoff resolves the request first, then the queued answer is submitted; a process restart loses the pending map while the caller retries; the user double-clicks Approve and both clicks hit `resolveRuntimeRequest`.
