git stash pop without --index restores stashed staged changes as unstaged. When a nested repo had staged WIP before the isolated agent ran, the pop in applyNestedPatches() brought the content back but lost the user's index state.
Pass { index: true } so pop uses --index, matching the root merge path that already does the same thing.
Added a regression test that stages a pre-existing edit in the nested repo, runs applyNestedPatches, and asserts the file is still in the index (porcelain "M " with the trailing space) and the cached diff still shows the staged WIP.
Fixes#3196
applyNestedPatches() applied the captured patch then ran git.stage.files(nestedDir), which stages every working-tree change in the nested repo. A nested repo that was already dirty before the agent ran ended up with the user's unrelated work-in-progress committed alongside the agent delta.
Stash any pre-existing dirty state (tracked + untracked) before applying the patch and pop it back in the finally block after the commit, so the agent commit contains only the captured patch and the user's in-flight work is restored on top of it. A failing stash pop logs a warning and leaves the stash entry intact for manual recovery; the broader nested-apply failure path is already non-fatal.
Added a worktree integration test that confirms a pre-existing untracked file in the nested repo is not staged into the agent commit and is still present in the working tree afterwards.
Fixes#3196
TaskTool and the eval agent() bridge each held a private copy of the nested-repo patch eligibility gate and the AI commit-message factory; isolation policy could drift between the two callers.
Moved both into task/isolation-runner.ts:
- applyEligibleNestedPatches(opts) — single nested-patch gate (skip on patch-mode parent failure, skip on branch-mode unmerged root, fail non-fatally with a system-notification suffix).
- makeIsolationCommitMessage(session) — single factory that yields the AI commit-message callback when task.isolation.commits === "ai" and a model registry is wired, undefined otherwise.
Both call sites now invoke the helpers; behavior is unchanged. Removed the now-dead generateCommitMessage/applyNestedPatches imports from each caller.
Added unit tests for the new helper covering the skip-on-patch-failure, skip-on-unmerged-branch, success, and failure-suffix paths.
Fixes#3196
Eval preludes now forward returnHandle to the bridge so no-session eval runs can preserve the temp artifacts backing returned agent:// handles. The bridge keeps those temporary artifact directories whenever returnHandle is requested, including non-isolated runs and successful isolated applies.
Branch-mode isolation now treats nested-only changes as merge-eligible even when no root branch was produced, letting callers apply nested patches instead of dropping them when the root repo had no diff.
Added regression coverage for returnHandle artifact preservation and nested-only branch isolation.
Fixes#3196
The workflowz eval path bypasses the task tool's isolation wrapper and
calls runSubprocess() directly, so parallel agent() fan-outs that edit
overlapping files all land in the parent worktree.
Extends the eval agent bridge schema with isolated/apply/merge, forwards
them through the Python and JS preludes, and adds a shared
task/isolation-runner.ts so the lifecycle (prepare context → run in
worktree → capture patch/branch → merge → cleanup) is implemented once
for both TaskTool and the bridge.
Default mirrors task.isolation.mode: isolated by default when settings
allow it, off when mode === 'none'. isolated=False explicitly disables;
isolated=True with mode === 'none' errors out to match the task tool.
apply=false keeps captured changes inside the worktree and surfaces the
patch path / branch name in details. merge=false forces patch mode even
when task.isolation.merge === 'branch'.
Fixes#3196
- Add `onFirstChatDispatch` hook to `CreateAgentSessionOptions` to track the boundary between session creation and the initial model request.
- Update `runSubprocess` and `TaskTool` to measure and log detailed latency metrics across the subagent lifecycle, including semaphore queue wait, setup time, and dispatch latency.
- 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.
- Hardened the `hashline` parameters parsing pipeline to guarantee presence of the `input` field.
- Enforced input length limits on task roles to secure against oversized payloads.
- Configured Arktype schemas to reject or delete extra, undeclared fields in task and inspect-image payloads.
- Updated mock test parameters to align with corrected success exit codes.
- Added detection for provider error finish reasons occurring before tool calls to identify fatal messages.
- Prevented subprocess tool execution finalization from resetting a non-zero exit code when yield items exist.
- Ensured a default error message is set in stderr when a subprocess fails after yielding a result.
- Added explicit ArkType schema descriptions across all coding agent tool definitions.
- Updated schema definitions in autoresearch and commit tools with descriptive wrappers.
- Documented tool schema enhancements in the packages/coding-agent CHANGELOG.
- Migrated all wire protocol, schema definitions, and tools validation from Zod to ArkType across multiple packages.
- Updated extension runtimes, custom tools loader, and TypeBox compatibility shim to expose and use ArkType instances.
- Added a comprehensive ArkType migration guide, validation parity tests, and helper utilities.
- Removed redundant PDF asset routing and parsing implementations from the read tool.
- Fixed cold revival flow so parked subagents are restored from persisted sessions at startup.
- Fixed session-init persistence to include spawns and readSummarize fields for replay accuracy.
- Fixed latest-session lookup by adding peekSessionInit for lock-free persisted contract access.
- Added lifecycle and session tests for cold-revive success, decline, and retry paths.
- Forwarded `parentAgentId` through task and eval launch paths when spawning subagents.
- Mapped `parentAgentId` to `parentId` in `createAgentSession`.
- Passed each caller's session `getAgentId` (or `MAIN_AGENT_ID`) as the parent for spawned agents.
- Removed render_mermaid from tool discovery, task definitions, and registries.
- Removed renderMermaid setting and prompt/docs references tied to the deleted tool.
- Added maxWidth and theme color options to Mermaid ASCII resolution in markdown flow.
- Re-rendered Mermaid ASCII in both directions and clipped output to available width.
- Added a `suppressBreadcrumb` option to `SessionManager.open()` so headless opens skip writing the per-TTY `--continue` breadcrumb, and passed it from the subagent opens in `task/executor.ts` and the HTML export open in `export/html/index.ts`, which run in the parent's terminal and were clobbering the breadcrumb with their own artifact-dir session file.
- Added `resolveBreadcrumbToInteractiveRoot()` and applied it in `continueRecent()` so already-poisoned breadcrumbs pointing inside a parent's artifacts dir (`<parent>/<agentId>.jsonl`) resolve back up to the top-level interactive session.
- Added `subagent-breadcrumb.test.ts` covering both that a subagent open keeps `--continue` on the parent and that a stale subagent-pointing breadcrumb is recovered.
Kept OpenRouter and Vercel upstream routing suffixes in subagent retry fallback selectors so same-base routed candidates stay distinct.
Resolved retry fallback candidates from the raw selector before model switching so routed fallback models keep their requested upstream route.
Placed subagent-scoped fallback chains ahead of inherited retry chains so overlapping primary selectors prefer the explicit subagent model order.
Expanded the regression to pin fallback chain insertion order when a global chain shares the same primary selector.
Installed subagent-scoped retry fallback chains from ordered task model candidates so provider failures can advance to the next configured worker model.
Updated task result tracking to surface the fallback-applied final model and added focused regression coverage for the executor wiring.
Fixes#2750
- Passed USER_INTERRUPT_LABEL through abort paths in collab, ACP, RPC, runtime, and SDK flows.
- Added userInitiated to synthetic continue inputs and session prompt calls.
- Suppressed advisor auto-resume during user aborts and preserved queued concerns.
- Cleared suppression on user prompts and reclaimed parked advisor cards on abort settle.
Persisted isolated subagents created their fresh JSONL session through
SessionManager.open(), which fell back to getProjectDir() when the file had no
header. createAgentSession still received the isolated worktree cwd, but built-in
tools resolve paths through sessionManager.getCwd(), so file tools could target
the parent repository while patch capture saw no isolated delta.
Allow SessionManager.open() to take an initial cwd for empty/missing session
files and pass the isolated worktree cwd from task execution. Non-empty resumes
still use the persisted header cwd. Add regression coverage asserting persisted
isolated subagent sessions expose the worktree cwd through their session
manager.
- Added cycle and depth guards for nested task progress rendering so async fan-out snapshots cannot recurse until the TUI crashes.
- Shortened long Windows '/data/workspaces/can1357__oh-my-pi__2551/.omp-session/2026-06-14T07-09-37-753Z_019ec4f6-ee59-7000-8226-e1b7ed0680e9/local' roots into temp-backed session roots before plan/handoff writes hit MAX_PATH.
Fixes#2551
- Removed the `task` embedded agent's explicit `thinkingLevel` assignment.
- Updated the `quick_task` agent to use `Effort.Medium` instead of `Effort.Minimal`.
Two controller bugs from review:
- The post-stop nudge still queued a passive `nextTurn` message during goal
mode (goal mode only disabled `autoContinue`). That message rides the goal
continuation and can divert the goal loop into capture. Return early when
goal mode is active.
- `#suppressNext` was latched before the fire-and-forget `sendCustomMessage`.
It must arm synchronously (the synthetic turn's `agent_end` fires inside
`sendCustomMessage` before it resolves), but a rejected or *deferred* dispatch
(ACP clients downgrade `triggerTurn` to a queue) then produces no `agent_end`,
so the latch swallowed the next real stop. `sendCustomMessage` now returns
whether it actually started a turn; the controller disarms the latch when no
turn ran (rejection or deferral).
`task/executor.ts` widens its pending-message array to `Promise<unknown>[]` to
absorb the new return type (the resolved values are discarded).
Addresses review threads on PR #2542 (threads 5, 9, 12).
When one task call spawns two or more live siblings with spawn capacity
and IRC enabled, TaskTool.execute appends a coordinate-via-irc
suggestion, composed onto the specialization advisory through the same
seam. Tighten the subagent COOP section and irc tool prompt so guidance
spans discovery (list who/what), coordination (message before
overlapping edits), and follow-up (replyTo/await) instead of only
assuming agents resolve collisions on their own.
Refs #2471
Op: extend
Add a display-only `activity` field to AgentRef plus `setActivity`, fed
from the subagent progress chokepoint with a short gist of the agent's
latest intent (or current tool). Render it in the `irc list` output, the
subagent peer roster, and the TUI peer card, beside the role-derived
display name. setActivity emits no event — the roster reads on demand —
so the per-tool-call rate stays off the registry listener path. Peers
with no activity render without a dangling clause.
Refs #2470
Op: extend
When a spawner with remaining depth capacity spawns generic role-less
workers (a task/quick_task spawn without a `role`, or the same agent
cloned >=2x all without roles), TaskTool.execute appends a non-blocking
advisory steering it toward tailored specialists. Gated on DepthCapacity
so a leaf at max recursion is never nudged; the task-tool depth gate is
extracted into a shared `canSpawnAtDepth` helper reused by both the tool
gate and the advisory.
Refs #2469
Op: extend
Add an optional `role` field to the task spawn contract, threaded end to
end through resolveSpawnItems/spawnParamsFor into the executor. A role
injects a specialization preamble into the subagent system prompt and
becomes the subagent's display name and telemetry identity (label
normalized, length capped), so delegated trees stop being clones of one
generic worker. Empty/absent roles fall back to the agent type name.
Refs #2467
Op: extend
Always-on LoopWatchdog (armed in TUI.start/stop) logs ui.loop-blocked with blockedMs and the current loop phase on the rising edge of a late probe tick. New pushLoopPhase/popLoopPhase/currentLoopPhase stack in pi-utils feeds it; breadcrumbs at in-process subagent dispatch (subagent:<id>) and the SelectList fuzzy filter (ui.select-filter) attribute residual main-thread stalls.
- Added detached spawn metadata to lifecycle, progress, and executor session payloads so task and evaluator runs can mark background jobs.
- Updated subagent session tracking and HUD rendering to only show active detached spawns.
- Extended HUD tests to verify non-detached sync and eval spawns are excluded while detached flags propagate through events.
- Changed collapsed progress rendering to keep the most recent live agents visible, adding a summary line for folded-away rows.
- Updated collapsed result rendering to preserve failed and aborted agents in the visible set while trimming other completions.
- Refreshed job polling text to document waiting on all running jobs when `poll` is omitted and added tests for both collapsed progress and result display behavior.
- Added `parentToolCallId` and `index` fields to subagent session records and propagated them from task lifecycle and progress events.
- Reworked subagent ordering to sort by parent-group order, spawn index, and stable creation order so out-of-order updates no longer reshuffled active HUD rows.
- Updated task execution to pass spawn indices through sync and async paths, switched the `tool.task` icon to Octicons tasklist, and added a registry test for out-of-order progress ordering.
- Added an anchored Subagents HUD renderer that formats active subagent sessions as `Id: description` rows.
- Integrated a new interactive-mode container and observer-driven render path so the HUD updates with session events and clears when no subagents are active.
- Exported `formatTaskId` for shared HUD formatting and added tests covering active-only filtering, fallback task/progress text, and line truncation.
- Updated task call and result headers to use the dispatch glyph during running async calls instead of spinner-style states.
- Switched running and pending agent rows to a static done-dot marker and reused the dot with foreground color settling when rows complete.
- Updated task rendering tests to validate the new glyphs and ensure running/pending rows do not emit spinner or pending symbols.
- Detached async task progress rows stopped running a redraw driver and task progress rendering switched running/pending rows to static task-icon text.
- Background task snapshots were frozen once blocks left the transcript live region, preventing later partial snapshots from repainting commit-eligible rows.
- Updated task-progress and detached-background-task tests to validate static task rows and the new freeze behavior.
Reorders sections in the streaming call preview to match `renderResult` and the
schema's field order. This prevents visual jumps when the preview transitions
to a result and ensures append-only growth of streamed content.
Additionally, omits the agent-list divider when no agent rows are present.
- Updated TaskTool to skip `session.asyncJobManager` and run `task` spawns inline whenever `async.enabled` is false.
- Set `async.enabled` default to `true` and updated task prompts/settings text to reflect async-versus-sync behavior.
- Adjusted task batching tests to cover both async background execution and synchronous batched execution when async is disabled.
- Replaced task-simple-mode with a `task.batch` setting enabled by default.
- Updated task schema to use batch `{agent, context, tasks[]}` payloads.
- Migrated task execution to spawn one async job per task and merge outputs.
- Removed per-call schema passing while preserving legacy flat task calls.
- 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:)`.
The task tool now takes a single { agent, assignment, description, ... } and always runs the subagent in the background — the batch tasks[] array and shared context parameter are gone. Fan-out is parallel task calls; shared background flows through a '/Users/can/.omp/agent/sessions/-Projects-.tree-pi-commit/2026-06-10T15-36-32-782Z_019eb22d-970e-7000-8964-72c98becf3e8/local' file referenced in each assignment.\n\nIntroduces a persistent subagent lifecycle: finished subagents stay live as idle, the lifecycle manager parks them to disk after task.agentIdleTtlMs (default 7 minutes; 0 keeps them live until exit), and they revive automatically when prompted from the Agent Hub, messaged on IRC, or resumed via task. New task(resume: "<id>") revives an idle or parked subagent and runs a follow-up assignment in its existing session.\n\nAdds soft request budgets (explore/quick_task 40, others 90, configurable via task.softRequestBudget, 0 disables): crossing the budget injects a one-time wrap-up steer into the child; crossing 1.5× aborts the run gracefully. Cancelled/aborted subagent salvage replaces the old (no output) with the child's last activity snippet plus request/token stats; SingleResult tracks a per-child requests counter (assistant message_end events) used to sort agent lists in runtime-ascending order in both the live progress view (finished agents above pending/running) and the finalized result view, so rows no longer reshuffle on finalize. Adds a task gallery fixture variant for the resume path (renderer key separated from fixture key).\n\nAll task tests are reshaped around the single-call contract; tests for the discarded shared-context flow are removed, and new task-guards/task-resume/task-schema tests pin the new contract surface.
- Added a stable progress-ordering helper that moved pending and running agents below completed and failed ones.
- Applied this ordering to top-level and nested live task-progress rendering so finished entries render first.
- Added a renderer test and changelog note covering the finished-before-unfinished progress ordering.
