fix(server): resumed OpenCode subagents no longer fail the parent turn on a duplicate turn ordinal#19888
Problem
Resuming an existing OpenCode subagent can assign its next turn ordinal 1 again, violating the projection’s unique constraint and failing the parent turn.
Change
Reuse the existing thread-registration helper when a later Task invocation resumes a child. Keep its turn counter and message bookkeeping, and update the parent Task context without replacing the child state.
Scope and approval
This is a maintainer-requested takeover of the focused OpenCode adapter bug fix. Refs #19883. Based on the original work by @lageorgem.
This covers repeated Task calls in the same running adapter. Restoring ordinals after an adapter restart remains outside this change.
Verification
50 adapter tests pass, including one retained regression that drives two Task calls against the same child session and checks ordinals [1, 2], distinct turn IDs, and one provider thread. The pre-fix adapter produces [1, 1] and fails the regression. Scoped format, lint, and provider-opencode typecheck pass; lint retains an existing unused-variable warning.
No live OpenCode session was run. The focused adapter behavior test is the verification for this nonvisual change.
Independent Opus and Sol full-diff reviews and the maintainer’s final source pass found no code issues. Current-head CI will run after publication; historical CI includes a failure in the unrelated server secret-store concurrency test.
Taken over with Claude Opus 5.5 (tests and review), Claude Fable 5.1 (implementation), and GPT-6.1 Sol (review) through T3 Code; coordinated with Codex.
Takeover
Credit to @lageorgem for the original fix and regression. The local takeover reapplied the same implementation to current main; no replacement PR was opened. Work is preserved on takeover/pr-19888 at 4beda0de9b. The takeover stopped at the required sensitive-surface gate: preserving an active child turn also retains its stored runtime policy while updating the parent context. No effective permission weakening was demonstrated.
Evidence
| Behavior | Before: main 3cc31ed27c | After: takeover 4beda0de9b | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resume the same child session after completion | Regression yields ordinals [1, 1] and fails | Regression yields [1, 2], distinct turn IDs, one provider thread | Adapter test verified |
| Real OpenCode parent spawns, resumes child, and completes | Not captured | Not captured | Unverified: mandatory review stop before runtime evidence |
Verification log
Current takeover verification supersedes the historical test counts above: adapter.test.ts has 31 existing tests plus one retained regression, all 32 pass after the fix. The regression fails on unchanged main at 3cc31ed27c. Scoped lint and provider-opencode typecheck pass, with an existing unused-variable lint warning.
Review round 1: GPT-6.1 Sol found no confirmed code bug but returned NEEDS_JULIUS for the sensitive-surface gate. The parallel Opus review and proof-matrix task were stopped at that gate. No runtime evidence, fixture matrix, proof-audit verdict, or current takeover CI result is claimed.
Unverified surface: server runtime with live OpenCode; the mandatory review stop occurred before capture. No visual surface changes. The original PR remains open and unchanged in code. Nothing was merged.
Models and harness: Claude Opus 5.5 for tests and implementation; GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 for review, coordinated through T3 Code with Codex.

Walkthrough
When an OpenCode task targets an existing child session, registration updates its thread metadata without replacing its state. A regression test checks two completed turns for consecutive ordinals, distinct turn IDs, and a shared provider-thread ID.

Merge Risk: External image Low · up to 3ca63
Resumed subagent tasks now keep their turn counter, which fixes the duplicate-ordinal failure. If a resumed Task targets a child that is still running, its messages join the running turn instead of starting a separate one. This is a narrow edge case and an improvement over the previous failure, so owners should be aware of it, but it need not block the merge.
Security architecture risk: External image Moderate · up to 3ca63
The fix preserves consecutive child-turn numbering, but resuming a child that is still active can combine its previous turn and permission policy with a new parent context. Whether this overlap can occur in live use remains unconfirmed.
Retained concerns
- Medium · security · inferred: If a later Task registers a child before its previous turn settles, registration preserves that turn and its runtimePolicy while rebinding parentSubagent. The next child user message joins the previous turn rather than creating a turn under the new parent policy. Nested Tasks subsequently consume the retained policy, creating a policy-continuity risk when the resuming parent has different restrictions. Live reachability depends on provider ordering; an effective permission bypass has not been demonstrated.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
- inferred — The identified risk concerns a resumed child session and its nested Task descendants within the running adapter. Triggering it requires a later Task to target an existing active child. The inspected change does not establish cross-tenant access or additional credentials; effective filesystem and command exposure depends on the policies installed in those sessions.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
- inferred — The conditional path is overlapping Task resume, preservation of the prior active child turn, admission of the later child message into that turn, and nested Task permission installation using its retained policy. This is a newly introduced stale-policy path relative to fresh child-state insertion, but provider ordering and effective permission weakening remain unverified.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
- observed — Permission requests follow the current parent-state chain, while stored requests retain their native request identity for replies. This routing and parent rebinding already existed in the base, so request reassignment alone is not established as a new security condition caused by this PR.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
- observed — Background children can remain busy after their parent settles. Explicit startTurn rejects an already-active thread, but child Task registration does not perform that check. Thus the startTurn guard does not establish that the newly state-preserving registration path is overlap-free.

Separate a resumed child turn from an active turn.
When task_id resumes a child session that still has an active turn, this branch replaces parentSubagent but keeps activeTurn. The next child message.updated uses that existing turn and does not call createChildTurn, so the resumed Task has no distinct provider turn. Defer reparenting until the active turn is finalized, or queue the resumed message as a separate child turn.

I checked this against the code. The mechanism is right, but it applies only to resuming a child that is still running, and this PR doesn't make that case worse.
- The reported bug. The lead calls Task again after the first Task returned. That return only happens once the child's prompt has finished. Child turns are finalized when the session goes idle (
session.statusidle /session.idle, around L2651–2676), soactiveTurnis alreadynullby the time the resumed user message arrives.handleMessageUpdated(L2446) then callscreateChildTurnand the turn gets ordinal 2. The regression test covers exactly this sequence. - Resuming a child that is still running (a background task, or two Task calls on one session at once). A new user message on a child with an active turn joins that turn. That's the adapter's existing behavior for any second message to a busy child, not something this PR introduces. Before this PR the same case was worse: the replaced state had
activeTurn: null, so the resumed message created a turn with ordinal 1 again. That hit the same unique-constraint failure and left the real running turn unfinalized.
Splitting a turn that's still streaming into a separate provider turn, or deferring the reparent until it finalizes, would change how busy child sessions are modelled. That's a separate change, so I'm leaving this PR scoped to the confirmed failure in #19883.
@lageorgem Thanks for the clarification. I withdraw this finding.
The supplied code supports your explanation. After child idle finalizes the first turn, handleMessageUpdated creates the next child turn with the preserved ordinal counter. For a busy child, a new user message joins the active turn. My comment incorrectly treated that existing behavior as a regression that this PR must fix.
Would you like a follow-up issue for separate-turn handling in busy child sessions?

| 5 | Learning: In packages/provider-opencode/src/server/adapter.ts, the TypeScript OpenCode adapter's handleMessageUpdated creates a child provider turn only when activeTurn is null and the user message is new. A new user message received while a child turn is active joins that turn. Child session idle events finalize the active turn through finalizeTurn and clear activeTurn. Modeling messages to a busy child as separate provider turns requires a separate behavioral change; do not assume each resumed Task call must create a distinct provider turn while the child remains busy. |
