fix: Hot reload waits for a busy Editor and applies again instead of compiling - #3221
Merged
Conversation
…only busy A hot-reload apply refused only because Unity was compiling or importing used to fall through to the fallback compile, which ends the Play session and discards the live patches. When the response asks for it, the CLI now polls the Editor status until it is ready and sends the files the first run selected once more; the second response then decides the fallback compile as before. An Editor that does not settle within the compile wait budget leaves the first response with a note, and no compile runs. The fallback and retry vibe log entries now carry the correlation ID of the request they follow, so a reader can join them to cli_tool_request_sent.
…vibe log list A reader needs to know that a busy-Editor refusal is waited out and applied again in the same command, which apply the reported fields describe, and how to join the new vibe log entries to the requests they follow.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe CLI now waits for the Editor to become ready and retries hot reload once when the response requests it. The retry result can determine whether compile fallback runs. Retry timing, response notes, and Vibe log entries are documented. ChangesEditor-ready hot-reload retry

hot-reloadsends a second request with its own generated ID. The one-ID-per-command instruction can mislead readers when they pair the two requests and their related hot-reload entries.Suggested documentation update

197-216: Bound each probe by the remaining budget and check cancellation before probing.
waitForEditorReadychecks the deadline only after a probe returns. Each probe can take up toprobeTimeout(5s). The total wait can therefore overshootcompileWaitTimeoutby about one probe timeout. The documentation says the command waits within the compile wait budget, so this overshoot is small. It does not cause a functional failure. No action is required unless the docs promise a strict bound.

Document the editor-ready retry failure outcomes.
When the wait is canceled or the second apply fails at the transport layer, the CLI returns the first apply’s response unchanged and omits EditorReadyRetryNote. Cancellation is reported on stderr and exits with status 1. A failed second request reports its transport error and returns that request’s exit status. Neither path runs compile fallback.
Update the source skill definition, then regenerate the .agents/ and .claude/ copies.

Source: Coding guidelines
The stderr checks passed on the waiting line alone, so dropping the classified error went unnoticed; they now look for the error itself. The fallback decision after a retry reads the second answer, and a test now pins that its entry carries the second request's ID. The vibe log list says the decision entry is missing when the retry ended the command.

Summary
uloop hot-reloadnow waits for the Editor to settle and applies the same files once more in the same command, instead of falling through to the fallback compile.cli_tool_request_sent.Aim
This is not about speed: when Unity's own compile overlaps the request, most of the time goes into that compile either way. What the retry protects is the Play session and the live patches. Today the refusal falls through to the fallback compile, which ends both. With the retry, an edit that Unity's compile already took in finishes as
NothingToApplywithin seconds, and an edit it did not take in is applied as a patch. No second compile runs.User Impact
uloop hot-reloadright away often reported "The Editor is compiling …". With--compile-on-skip autothe CLI then ran a compile, which exits Play Mode and discards active patches; withoff, the user had to wait and rerun by hand.uloop compile), and reports the second apply's response withEditorReadyRetryNoteandTiming.EditorReadyWaitMs.Changes
