Drained pending IRC asides before parking irc wait so replies that arrive between wait calls are returned instead of being treated only as queued interrupts.
Added regression coverage for the already-aborted queued-IRC signal path and documented the fix in the coding-agent changelog.
Fixes#4657
op:send await:true runs the reply wait under the same signal as the pure wait
paths. When the tool signal aborts after delivery succeeded, throwing turned the
call into a skipped tool result, so the model was liable to resend the same
message on the next turn. Surface the delivery receipts as a successful result
with a note that the reply wait was cut short.
- Always remove surfaced irc:incoming records from the pending-aside queue; the inbox tool result already injects the body, so leaving them queued would auto-inject a duplicate at the next step.
- Updated the inbox tool to drain pending asides regardless of peek.
- Added a regression test asserting a peeked pending aside does not auto-inject.
- Drained running-session IRC asides through the inbox tool before the model step consumes them.
- Added a regression test for messages delivered while the recipient is already running.
Fixes#3834
- Suppressed main-UI relay for sibling broadcast legs when the main agent is a direct target.
- Added `suppressRelay` option to `IrcBus.send` to allow selective disabling of relay rendering.
- Ensured broadcast fan-outs avoid rendering the same message twice in the main transcript.
- Implemented `AdvisorTranscriptRecorder` to persist advisor sessions to append-only `__advisor.jsonl` files.
- Integrated transcript recording into agent sessions with managed flushing, atomic file switching, and synthetic turn attribution.
- Restricted advisor-kind agents by excluding them from rosters, history protocols, messaging, and interactive agent commands.
- Reserved the `__advisor` filename stem across the output manager and task registry to prevent task ID collisions.
A subagent's send await:true to Main during a blocking task spawn was a structural deadlock: deliverIrcMessage queues mid-turn messages as step-boundary asides, but Main's next boundary requires the sender's own batch to finish, so the sender always burned the full irc.timeoutMs. Awaited sends now pass expectsReply through IrcBus.send; a mid-turn recipient with async.enabled off generates an ephemeral no-tools reply via runEphemeralTurn, records an irc:autoreply aside in its own history, and delivers it back over the bus with replyTo threading so the sender's waiter resolves.
- Removed `resume` from task params and schema, requiring agent and assignment inputs.
- Dropped resume continuation paths in task execution and call rendering, always spawning a new agent.
- Removed the `irc.enabled` setting and computed IRC availability by task-depth rules.
- Updated task follow-up guidance to use IRC messaging/history links instead of `task(resume:)`.
Replaces the blocking auto-reply IRC turn with a process-global IrcBus and a four-op tool (send/wait/inbox/list). send is fire-and-forget with per-recipient delivery receipts (injected/woken/revived/failed); replies become real turns by the recipient, observed via wait (or the send await:true sugar). Bounded per-agent mailboxes (cap 100) drop oldest on overflow; AgentSession.deliverIrcMessage folds an in-flight delivery in as a non-interrupting aside at the next step boundary, or starts a real wake turn when idle. AgentRegistry/lifecycle handle the idle→woken / parked→revived transitions, so messaging a non-running peer brings it back. Adds a dedicated TUI renderer (directional headers, delivery-outcome coloring, quoted bodies, per-recipient receipt trees, status-badged peer lists with unread counts). irc.timeoutMs is now the default timeout for wait / send await:true. AgentSession sheds the agentRegistry config field, the dedupeIrcReply → dedupeEphemeralReply rename (now used by /btw and /omfg), and the background-channel exchange queue / forwardIrcRelayToMain plumbing the auto-reply model needed.
- Replaced external watchdog timers with per-request SDK timeouts for first-event budget across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Azure providers.
- Keyed Python shared kernels by (sessionId, cwd) to prevent cross-directory state bleed.
- Deduplicated concurrent cold-start session acquisition for JS and Python executors.
- Moved `isOpenAIResponsesProgressEvent` to shared module and scoped display output routing per run for interleaved async cells.
- Added `AgentRegistry` singleton with session registration/unregistration and IRC routing metadata for peer lookups.
- Added IRC messaging prompts and tooling with `irc.enabled` setting, `list/send` tool paths, and peer roster rendering.
- Changed `/btw` to session-side `runEphemeralTurn`, added background IRC exchange flushing, and fixed empty-input checks.
- Added unit tests for IRC tool and BtwController ephemeral behavior, including disabled, busy, not-found, and abort cases.
