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.
- Replaced fromTypeBox conversion with a JSON-schema validator flow in ai tool handling and execution paths.
- Added recursive schema validation and expanded TypeBox checks for refs, enums, uniqueItems, and constraint keywords.
- Sanitized Azure/CCA tool schemas by dropping unsupported fields and rewriting oneOf tool branches as anyOf.
- Tightened argument and model-config validation, preserving unknown tool fields and adding apiKey plus compatibility flags.
- Added canonical `pi.zod` schema API exports and removed TypeBox package exports/imports.
- Migrated Tool schema typing from TypeBox to shared `TSchema`/Zod flow with legacy TypeBox compatibility.
- Updated AI provider adapters and MCP/agent builders to convert tool params through `toolWireSchema()`.
- Reworked schema validation from AJV to Zod-safe parsing with `fromTypeBox`, `toolWireSchema`, and meta schema checks.
The task description prompt was compressed in c6cab807d — the explicit 'Current input mode' and 'Every assignment must stand on its own.' phrasings are gone. Replace those literal-string assertions with checks against the rendered mode-dependent content that actually differentiates the modes ('context` or `assignment`' for schema-free, 'each `assignment`' for independent). Mode-driven schema differences remain covered by the surrounding parameter-bullet assertions.
- Reworked `idle-iterator` to replace the first-event watchdog wrapper with a shared timeout handle passed through stream iteration.
- Updated Anthropic and OpenAI/Azure response-completion streams to pass the watchdog into `iterateWithIdleTimeout` and rely on unified first-event timeout logic.
- Raised the default first-stream-event timeout from 60 seconds to 100 seconds.
- Added task.simple to settings and schema with default, schema-free, and independent modes.
- Added mode-aware task schema and validation to enforce context/schema rules per simple mode.
- Updated prompts and template rendering to tailor headers and guidance for each simple mode.
- Added simple-mode capabilities and updated TaskTool execution for mode-aware context behavior.
- Added tests for independent rendering and mode-specific rejection of invalid context or schema inputs.
