A nested Claude subagent can remain running after it completes. Reproduce by letting a background parent launch a child while the root is idle, completing that child during a user turn, then letting a sibling completion wake the root: the buffered start replays without its completion.
Keep a live completion notification behind its matching buffered start when the task has not been registered yet. The continuation replays both in order and persists the child as completed. Registered-task handling remains unchanged.
Fixes #16355
Triaged bug via the automated issue flow. This fixes the reproduced completion-ordering defect in the Claude adapter with one regression test.

Verdict: Approved at 699cc4b
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The adapter preserves completion notifications alongside buffered task starts so nested subagents can retain their completed state across turns. The change is limited to existing session-event replay, with matching-task and duplicate-message guards.

The Claude adapter now buffers an early task notification behind a matching buffered start when the task is not registered. A regression test checks that a nested subagent remains completed after a sibling-triggered continuation settles.

Explanation
The description includes the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. It explains the defect, implementation, linked issue, focused tests, observed results, and limitations.
Explanation
[#16355] Only one directly linked issue applies. Its coding requirements are: (1) apply a buffered completion when the matching start is not yet registered, so the child does not stay running; (2) reach a terminal status with a completion timestamp; (3) keep idle-buffered starts and completions applied at the next drain; (4) complete a held start when its completion arrives while idle; (5) keep genuinely running subagents running. The whole-PR change summary states that, when a task is unregistered and its task_started frame is already buffered for the same native thread, ClaudeAdapterV2.ts appends the completion notification to the wake buffer (unless already present). Registered tasks stay on the existing outcome path, and unregistered tasks without a buffered start are not added. This matches requirements (1), (2), and (5). The regression test in ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts launches background subagents, runs an idle nested child to completion, then processes the sibling completion and wake turn, and asserts the nested child ends completed with no background work left. The reported run of 208 tests passed on the final head, and the PR reports a failing fixture before the fix (expected 'running' to equal 'completed'). Limits: the source diff could not be read because changed blobs are missing from the checkout, so the verdict relies on the whole-PR change summary, the test description, and the reported results. The adapter file could not be inspected for the specific idle-completion and held-start branches (requirements 3 and 4), and the changes since the previous reviewed head (92f1042d8c) were not verified in source. The described behavior and the existing test suite support compliance.
Explanation
The whole-PR change summary lists two changed files: apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts (+26/-4) and its regression test ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts (+192/-0). The adapter change addresses the buffered-start and completion ordering defect in [#16355]. The test covers the same lifecycle path. The summary reports no changed declarations of exported or public entities. The PR description reports no client rendering change, and its supporting proof material is external to the repository. The screenshot in the linked PR objectives shows +215/-4, while the summary counts +218/-4. This gap is small and consistent with a snapshot taken before a later commit, so it does not show unrelated work. Source diff access was unavailable, so the file list relies on the change summary rather than a direct diff read.
