Ben Brandt 060bdb212a fix: report a failed turn with the error stop reason on the experimental ACP v2 surface (#1288)
Follow-up to #1287 (SDK 1.8.0). A v2 turn that fails after its prompt
was taken in now ends with the standard `error` stop reason from
[agent-client-protocol#2281](https://github.com/agentclientprotocol/agent-client-protocol/pull/2281),
in place of the stand-ins we used while the SDK didn't have it.

## Before and after

Before, on the v2 surface only:
1. an error `notice`, titled with the failure;
2. `idle` with the custom stop reason `_error`, and the JSON-RPC error
in `_meta.claudeCode.error`.

Now, one update:

```json
{ "sessionUpdate": "state_update", "state": "idle", "stopReason": "error",
  "error": { "code": -32603, "message": "Internal error: API Error: 529 Overloaded" } }
```

- `error` is the JSON-RPC error that v1 rejects the prompt with: same
code, message and data. A client can show `message` and handle `code` as
for an error response, so `-32000` (auth required) can start its sign-in
again, which `_error` couldn't.
- The notice is gone. The v2 draft's
[Failures](https://agentclientprotocol.com/protocol/v2/draft/prompt-lifecycle)
section reports a failure that ends the work through the stop reason,
and keeps notices for failures the agent recovers from.
- v1 and AIR are unchanged.

## Also

- `TurnEvents.failed` loses its `title` parameter. Only the v2 notice
read it, and v1's prompt already ignored it. Its pass-through in
`Turn.reject` and `failActive` goes too. AIR's session failures still
get the title, through their own path.
- The v2 scenario harness treats an `error` stop reason as a failed
turn, and reports its message.

## One visible difference

The old notice showed the failure title, for example `API Error: 529
Overloaded`. The error's message is v1's, `Internal error: API Error:
529 Overloaded`, which v1 clients already show. If we'd rather v2
clients see the shorter text, the alternative is to use the title as the
error's `message` and keep v1's code and data. That would make v2's
message differ from v1's.

## Checks

- `npm run check`, `npm run build` and all 2489 tests pass. No golden
file changes: no recorded scenario fails a turn after insertion.
- The two v2 failure tests pin the new update and the auth code. Putting
`_error` back fails both.

ACP adapter for the Claude Agent SDK

npm

Use Claude Agent SDK from ACP-compatible clients!

This tool implements an ACP agent by using the official Claude Agent SDK, supporting:

  • Context @-mentions
  • Images
  • Tool calls (with permission requests)
  • Compact file changes through the negotiated AIR diff patch extension
  • Following
  • Edit review
  • TODO lists
  • Nested subagent transcripts
  • Interactive (and background) terminals
  • Custom Slash commands
  • Client MCP servers
  • /mcp in the chat: the MCP server status as a list. The adapter runs /mcp reconnect, /mcp enable, and /mcp disable through the SDK control API, because Claude Code refuses them in SDK mode. A reconnect of an ACP server that needs authentication starts MCP OAuth through URL elicitation
  • Session-scoped long-running goals for AIR through the goal extension under _meta.jetbrains.air.goal
  • Structured errors, recovery, and warnings through the opt-in session failure extension
  • Concrete model and effort defaults through the opt-in recommended config value extension
  • Tool permission presentation, editable choices, and durable effects through the permission extension
  • One fact per field in every tool call report, as the ACP tool call contract defines
  • All AIR extensions, capabilities, and _meta keys: AIR extensions

Subagent sessions

Subagents are exposed only after bilateral capability negotiation. Until the released ACP SDKs preserve the draft clientCapabilities.subagents field, a supporting client may advertise nativeSubagentSessions in _meta.jetbrains.air.capabilities; the adapter mirrors the capability in its initialize response. The canonical field remains supported and takes precedence once it is available. Without either client signal, Agent/Task lifecycle keeps its legacy ordinary ACP tool-call representation and child interactions stay on the root session. Clients that use the historical _meta["subagent-transcript"] capability or forwardSubagentText session option retain the flattened child transcript behavior. See AIR extensions.
