Problem

When an agent calls MCP delegate_task without naming a provider or model, the child inherits the parent's model even when that model is out of usage and a fallback model is configured, so the child fails right away. Closes https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/28203

Change

  • A delegate_task target with no provider, driver, or model now goes through resolveNewThreadModelSelection, the same out-of-usage fallback rule web and mobile use for new threads. A target that names any of the three is resolved exactly as before.
  • A retry of an already accepted delegation resolves nothing, because the receipt replays the committed task and ignores the payload.
  • Not included: orchestrator_capabilities does not list the fallback (the issue also asks for that). The delegate_task result already reports the provider and model the child got. #28234 (Julius) and #28222 (ryoppippi) fix the same bug; no code taken from either.

Verification

Same steps on both: a parent thread running on a fake Codex CLI (reports the Codex usage window at 100% and fails any new turn with usageLimitExceeded), fallback set to Replay (dev) / Plan and reads, then an outside agent calls the parent's MCP endpoint:

text
1tools/call delegate_task {"title":"Typo pass","task":"Fix typos in README.md."}
2main: -> "providerInstanceId":"codex","model":"gpt-6-luna"
3PR: -> "providerInstanceId":"devReplay","model":"todo-list"

Before (main): look at the child's model picker, 6 Luna, and the "Usage limit reached" banner: the child inherited the exhausted model.

After, at 4b31c27311: the same child shows Plan and reads (the fallback) and finishes; the parent stays on Codex.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5b64a8c1-96c7-4021-94e8-b4296bc05d20

Recording of the after flow at 4b31c27311: parent working on Codex, the call lands, the child opens on the fallback and completes.

  • OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts › "inherits delegated options, merges overrides, and resets on explicit clearing or a new target", row "inherited model out of usage takes the configured fallback", fails on main 4c924ff4 (child keeps codex, expected the fallback instance) and passes here.
  • fleet-job check:changed passed at 4b31c27311.

Not shown: a real Codex account at its limit, remote delegation, and create_threads (unchanged).

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Implicit MCP tasks now automatically use the configured fallback when the inherited model exhausts its usage. This changes default provider/model routing for delegated tasks and requires confirmation that the behavior is intended.

Walkthrough

The MCP service now shares settings loading between capabilities and delegated-task handling. Delegation resolves a selection for implicit targets, and tests cover fallback behavior when the inherited provider reaches 100% weekly usage.

Changes: MCP delegated model selection

Layer / File(s)Summary
Settings-backed delegated target resolution
apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.ts
A shared settings loader maps read failures to orchestration_error and is used by capabilities and delegateTask. For targets without a provider, driver, or model, delegation resolves a selection using the current settings. Receipt replays use the parent selection without target resolution.
Usage-limit fallback regression tests
apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts
Tests configure a fallback and an inherited provider at 100% weekly usage. The inherited selection uses the configured fallback, while an explicit request retains its selected model.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Explanation

The description explains the problem, the change, the scope limits, and focused verification results. It links the related issue and includes the agent and harness. It does not provide explicit maintainer approval or explain why the fix qualifies without it, so the Scope and approval section is incomplete. The rest of the description is detailed enough to pass.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#28203] delegateTask now sends implicit provider/model selections through resolveNewThreadModelSelection. The added tests cover an exhausted inherited model and an explicit model. Explicit selections retain their requested model. However, orchestrator_capabilities does not expose the configured fallback or its applicability. The current PR description confirms this omission. The issue requires this capability information.

Resolution

Add the configured fallback and its applicability to orchestrator_capabilities, with focused tests for the capability response. Keep explicit target behavior unchanged.

Make the retry fail if it revalidates provider metadata.

Clearing fallbackModelSelection alone does not make revalidation fail. isProviderAvailable checks only snapshot.availability, not usageLimits, and the inherited Codex fixture remains available. A retry without the receipt skip can therefore dispatch successfully and satisfy the current assertions.

Back providerRegistryLayer with a Ref of providers. After the first dispatch, replace the list with one where the inherited Codex provider is unavailable. Then assert the retry still dispatches with the same commandId. Keep this assertion inside the existing table loop.

This new error mapping discards the settings failure, losing its cause chain and stack. Please retain the immediate error as cause in a structured internal failure and translate it to the existing safe MCP message at the transport boundary; do not expose the raw cause in the wire response.

Posted via Macroscope — Effect Service Conventions

Not changing this here. OrchestratorMcpFailure is the wire error schema and has no cause field, and every settings read in this service (including the existing one in capabilities) maps the failure to the same safe message. Carrying causes through MCP failures would be a service-wide change outside this fix.

Synced from GitHub

Correction: the inline finding concerns only the newly added settings-error mapping; the pre-existing mappings and error helper are not separate findings.

🟠 High mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.ts:2497

An implicit delegateTask can commit a stale fallback model or invalid saved option values to the child, even though an explicit target using the same selection is rejected. The fallback is injected into parent.thread.modelSelection here, but resolveTargetRechecking does not validate inherited model membership or its saved options; validate the fallback against the current model catalog and option descriptors before substituting it.

3An implicit `delegateTask` can commit a stale fallback model or invalid saved option values to the child, even though an explicit target using the same selection is rejected. The fallback is injected into `parent.thread.modelSelection` here, but `resolveTargetRechecking` does not validate inherited model membership or its saved options; validate the fallback against the current model catalog and option descriptors before substituting it.

Leaving this as is on purpose. The fallback is treated like any inherited selection: main does not check an inherited model against the catalog either, option ids the model does not have are dropped by knownOptions, and the provider health and adapter checks in resolveTarget still run on the fallback. Web and mobile start new threads on the same saved fallback from resolveNewThreadModelSelection without a catalog check, and this PR is scoped to applying that same rule here; a stale saved fallback fails in the child the way a stale default model does.

Move the settings read after the retry check.

loadSettings runs before isRetryOfAcceptedDelegation is used. A retry of an accepted delegation never uses the settings, because the receipt replay skips target resolution. If the settings read fails, the retry still fails with orchestration_error. The PR objective says accepted retries must replay their committed task. Read the settings only when the target is implicit and the request is not a retry.

♻️ Proposed fix

diff
1- const settings = yield* loadSettings;
2- const inherited =
3- input.target?.providerInstanceId === undefined &&

Then remove the duplicate settings, property from the call and use the loaded value for fallbackSelection. For example, bind const settings = yield* loadSettings; inside a small Effect.gen helper.

Retain the inherited selection when fallback health checks fail.

If the parent is out of usage and the configured fallback has status error, the helper can select it. If the refresh still reports an error, delegate_task fails with provider_unavailable instead of resolving the inherited selection. Retry with the inherited selection when the fallback remains unhealthy, while preserving explicit target validation.

8Update the implicit-target flow around `inherited` and `resolveTargetRechecking`
9so that if the configured fallback remains unhealthy during the health recheck,
10delegation resolves using the parent’s inherited model selection instead of
11failing with `provider_unavailable`. Keep `resolveTargetRechecking` validation
12and failure behavior for explicit targets unchanged.

Reject a stale configured fallback model.

If the parent is out of usage and the fallback model is no longer advertised, the implicit target can dispatch that stale model instead of retaining the parent’s selection. Check the fallback model against the current catalog before applying it. Preserve configured custom models that remain available.
