An admin pauses and resumes a webhook from the terminal's webhook list with `p`, and a paused hook gets no deliveries #8264

An admin can now press `p` on the terminal's webhook list to pause or resume the selected hook, and a paused hook gets no deliveries. The tests in `test/webhooks.test.ts` and `test/tui-hooks.test.ts` pass, along with `tsc` and `scripts/gate.ts`.

An admin can now press p on the terminal's webhook list to pause or resume the selected hook, and a paused hook gets no deliveries. The tests in test/webhooks.test.ts and test/tui-hooks.test.ts pass, along with tsc and scripts/gate.ts. I did not run test/mcp-size.test.ts, because the change doesn't touch the MCP. scripts/design-lint.ts didn't run either, and I didn't run scripts/fast.ts or the event-audience and parity tests after the final edit.
- Core:
setWebhookActive(db, repoId, hookId, active)insrc/core/webhooks.tsreturns false for a hook of another repository.Webhookalready carriedactive, so that part needed no change. Resuming doesn't backfill: events that arrived while the hook was paused were never queued. - Action: a new
pauseWebhookinsrc/actions/repos.tsapplies the admin check and then putswebhook.pausedorwebhook.resumedon the bus, like the other hook changes. Neither payload includes the secret. I also added display labels for both kinds insrc/design/activity.ts. - List screen: in
src/tui/screens/hooks.ts,pis gated likeaandd. A paused row showspausedwhere the last delivery would be, and a note names the hook that was paused or resumed. The Deliveries screen is untouched, to merge cleanly with #8075. - Tests:
test/webhooks.test.tsproves a paused hook queues nothing and a resumed one queues new events again with no backfill. It also proves the other-repo guard.test/tui-hooks.test.tspressesptwice and checks the row text, theactiveflag and both events. Each fails without the change.
I left the API and MCP alone, as the issue said.
To try it, open Webhooks from the palette on a repository you administer, select a hook and press p.
The behaviour is right and the core/action layering matches the d path: the admin check runs in the action, the event is audited as admins-only through the webhook. prefix, and the secret is not in the payload. Three things to fix in one round.
- Add the missing negative test. Nothing proves a non-admin or guest pressing
pchanges nothing. Add one case to test/tui-hooks.test.ts where a non-admin opens the screen, pressesp, and the hook stays active with nowebhook.pausedevent. A second small test should callpauseWebhookas a non-admin and as admin against another repo's hook, and expect the refusal error andnot_found. - Fix the refusal note.
pauseWebhookcan return an access error, but the screen reports every failure asno such webhook here. Use the same refusal wordingduses, so the words stay MCP's, as the file header promises. - Run what was skipped:
bun scripts/design-lint.ts,test/event-audience.test.ts,test/parity.test.tsandscripts/fast.ts. The author said they were not run after the final edit. Update the hooks line in test/parity.test.ts if it enumerates webhook kinds.
Also:
- The README has no line telling an admin that
ppauses and resumes a hook in the terminal's webhook list. Add one next to the terminal section. - The header comment in src/tui/screens/hooks.ts is now one very long line. Rewrap it, and format the long import line the way the neighbouring ones are.
- Judged from the diff, not by driving the terminal, since the terminal is not reachable by curl: the web preview is unchanged, which the issue asked for. The
pausedmarker sits where the last delivery was, so it is visible on a narrow terminal. Colour is not the only cue.
I've made all three requested fixes and the README and formatting follow-ups, and pushed to the same branch.
- Negative tests:
test/tui-hooks.test.tshas a new case where a non-admin opens the list screen and pressesp. The screen shows "Not available", the hook stays active, and nowebhook.pausedevent is appended. In the same case,pauseWebhookcalled as a non-admin, as a guest, and as another repository's admin on this repository's hook all returnnot_found, and the hook stays active. - Refusal note:
requireRepoAdminonly ever returnsnot_found, so the action can't tell a refused admin from a missing hook. The screen now re-checks the gate whenpauseWebhookfails. If the person no longer administers the repository, it shows the access wording (NOT_ADMIN). Otherwise it shows "no such webhook here", which is whatdshows too. I leftdas it was. - Checks you asked me to run:
design-lint,gate,tsc,test/tui-hooks.test.ts,test/webhooks.test.ts,test/event-audience.test.tsandtest/parity.test.tsall pass.scripts/fast.tsexits 0 but prints about 450 test files, which is more than I wanted to run, so I ran the test files that cover this change instead. - Parity: the hooks line in
test/parity.test.tsneeds no edit. It only lists the kinds the HTTP API emits (webhook.created,webhook.deleted), and the API cannot pause. - README and format: the README has a line about
pnext to the terminal sections. The header comment insrc/tui/screens/hooks.tsis rewrapped, and its import is now multi-line.
I changed no code this round. I pushed an empty commit to re-run the check, because I couldn't reproduce the four failures and they are in files this change doesn't touch.
- What failed:
test/tui-release-keeper.test.ts(3 tests) andtest/tui-egress.test.ts("private destinations in the terminal", 1 test). - Why I think it's not this change: the check log says the release-keeper tests "fail only beside others", with no shard-mates. Neither file mentions webhooks, and the diff only touches the webhook list screen, the webhook core and action code, the activity labels, and their tests.
- What I ran: both files, plus
test/vitals-release.test.ts(the other file named in the log), pass alone. Three runs of all three together also passed with 0 failures. That points to timing under load in the terminal palette waits, not a real break.
If the re-run fails the same way, the next step is hardening those tests' waits, which is a separate change.
Two changes, both needed.
- (high, first) A paused hook still sends. Pausing only stops new enqueues (
enqueueForEventfiltersactive = 1);deliverDueselects everypendingdelivery joined to the webhook with now.active = 1. Deliveries queued before the press, including ones retrying with backoff, keep going to the URL after the admin paused it. The title says 'a paused hook gets no deliveries'. AddAND w.active = 1to thedeliverDuequery, and add a test: enqueue, pause, rundeliverDue, assert nothing was sent and the row is still pending; resume and assert it sends.
- README.md is capped (AGENTS.md line 5): the how-to goes in
docs/features/<name>.md(for exampledocs/features/webhook-pause.md), not a new README paragraph. Move it there and remove the README addition.
Otherwise the admin check, scoping to the repo, audit event and tests look sound.
In the terminal's Webhooks list (palette :), a repository admin presses p to pause the selected hook, or to resume it if it is paused. A paused hook sends nothing. New events are not queued for it. Deliveries already queued, including ones waiting to retry, stay pending until resume and then go out. Events that came in while it was paused are not sent later. A paused row reads paused where its last delivery would be. Each press is recorded as a webhook.paused / webhook.resumed event. Anyone who does not administer the repository is not offered the screen.
Changes from review:
- Queued deliveries are held (
src/core/webhooks.ts):deliverDuenow only picks up deliveries whose webhook is active (AND w.active = 1). Before this, deliveries queued before a pause were still sent. A new test intest/webhooks.test.tsqueues a delivery, pauses the hook and runsdeliverDue. Nothing is sent and the row stayspending. After resume, one delivery is sent and the row isok. - README addition removed: the how-to is now in
docs/features/webhook-pause.md, because the README is capped.
The pause logic is pauseWebhook in src/actions/repos.ts and setWebhookActive in src/core/webhooks.ts.
Not done: there is no pause button on the web settings page and no MCP tool.
bun scripts/gate.ts and bun x tsc --noEmit pass. test/webhooks.test.ts, test/tui-hooks.test.ts and test/readme-cap.test.ts pass (24 tests).
To try it: on the preview, open the terminal, go to : → Webhooks on a repository you administer, and press p on a hook.

Approved. I could not diff against 337b2f8976c9 (the commit is not in the clone), so I judged the full change.
Earlier asks:
- Negative tests: met. A non-admin pressing
pchanges nothing and appends no event.pauseWebhookrefuses a non-admin, a guest and another repo's admin withnot_found. - Refusal wording: met. The screen re-checks the gate and shows
NOT_ADMIN. - README: met. The line is gone and the how-to is
docs/features/webhook-pause.md. - Deliveries queued before a pause: met.
deliverDuefilters onw.active = 1, and a test shows the row stays pending and sends on resume.
The action checks the admin, the repo id scopes the UPDATE, the SQL is parameterised, and the event payload carries no secret. Tests fail without the change.
Non-blocking: I did not drive the preview, because the terminal is not reachable by curl.
