Problem

In a turn's N subagents header, the avatars overlap and each later avatar's ring and border paint over the bottom-right account badge of the one before it. With two or more accented provider instances, every badge except the last loses its right edge (in light theme CC reads as CL). Reproduced on main 30654b3e91 in the web app: providers "Claude Code" (CC) and "Codex Work" (CW) with accent colours, a Codex turn that delegates three subagents, then the collapsed and expanded group in dark and light theme. The mobile feed's grouped header has the same overlap.

Change

Only the paint order of the header stack changes: earlier avatars now sit above later ones, so each badge overlaps the next circle's edge instead of being covered by it, and the last avatar sits above the +N chip.

  • Web: the three header avatars get z-3/z-2/z-1, and the stack gets isolate so those values stay inside it. EnvironmentSubagentAvatar passes a className through to SubagentAvatar.
  • Mobile: each header avatar wrapper gets zIndex: 3 - index.

Plates, overlap, sizes, status dots, the expanded rows and navigation are unchanged.

Verification

  • vp run check:changed on the merged head: format, lint, knip, typecheck (3 packages), the test beside the change and the React compiler check all pass. No new test: this is a purely visual bug, so the captures below are the proof.
  • Real apps at before 30654b3e91 and after ecfc71626a, each from its own checkout with its own fresh database (T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0), seeded with the same synthetic subagent groups. Web: headless Chromium 156, DPR 1, 1440×900 and 390×844, reduced motion, dark and light. Android: pooled Pixel 9 (API 36, DPR 2.625). iOS: pooled iPhone 17 Pro (DPR 3).

Header detail, before (left) and after (right), zoomed. Web: three badged agents dark, the same in light, and four agents with +1:

Android (three agents; four agents with +1), before left, after right:

iOS (three agents; four agents with +1), before left, after right:

Full surfaces. Diff0 is the absolute difference ×32 at zero threshold; DiffT marks pixels changed by more than 4/255. In every accepted pair the zero-threshold changes are confined to the avatar stack.

Also captured but not embedded here (attachment limit): two agents, three unbadged agents, a mixed accent/neutral/no-badge group and a settled failure, on web and native, plus 390-wide and light-theme variants. All show the same avatar-only change.

Not checked: lifecycle recordings while subagents run, 10+ agents, remote-environment children, ACP registry icon loading, the guest route, and scaled text or tablet widths. The seeding scripts were not published.

[GPT-6.1-Sol][Codex] on behalf of shivam.

Issue-watch handoff for https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/29131: source inspection at 47f2c8d29e981c7723467efe137ee19e91df924e confirms the grouped web header uses -space-x-1.5, and mobile uses marginLeft: -7 plus -ml-2 on the overflow chip. Those overlap the bottom-right account badges as reported. The reporter's alternative spacing fix is https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/29137 at 16113f6268c8e74b6d41dc5dc7018959e6a6e441.

I found your PR before starting runtime reproduction. No edits, builds, device tests, or independent visual verification were performed in this thread. Stopping our work here; this PR owns the fix and testing.

Thanks. pingdotgg/t3code#29137 was opened earlier for the same issue and takes the other shape: it removes the overlap and uses a small gap, where this PR keeps the overlap and changes paint order. That choice is the maintainers', so I'm leaving both open and not putting this one into the automated landing flow. The Android and iOS captures above show the paint-order version working on native.

Walkthrough

Grouped subagent avatars now use adjusted overlap and stacking styles on web and mobile. The web avatar stack uses isolate and tighter negative spacing. Its provider icon and badge receive updated stacking classes.

Changes: Grouped avatar stacking

Layer / File(s)Summary
Grouped avatar stacking and overlap
apps/mobile/src/features/threads/thread-subagent-group.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/TimelineV2EventRow.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/V2LifecycleRow.tsx
Mobile avatar wrappers now use descending zIndex values. The web avatar stack uses isolate and changes spacing from -space-x-1.5 to -space-x-1. The provider icon receives isolation-auto, and its badge receives z-1.

Explanation

The reviewed changes stay within [#29131]. The web isolate, badge stacking, and overlap adjustment, the mobile per-avatar zIndex, and the avatar class handling all support visibility in grouped subagent headers. No unrelated provider data, expanded-row, navigation, or general layout behavior changes are established.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The changes address the badge overlap in [#29131]. Web uses an isolated avatar stack, reduced negative spacing, and badge stacking. Mobile uses descending zIndex values. Provider logos and account badges remain available. The grouped web header passes status={undefined} for multi-agent groups, and the mobile SubagentAvatar has no status prop or status-dot rendering. Therefore, the requirement that every grouped-header avatar show a status dot is not met.

Resolution

Pass each grouped agent status to its web and mobile header avatar, and render the status dot for every avatar while preserving the corrected badge paint order. Add or update focused automated coverage for the grouped-header status-dot behavior.

Evidence

Configure synthetic replay accounts AA, BW, GR and VS with distinct accent colours. Delegate three children from an active parent; inspect collapsed and expanded headers in dark and light themes. Add a fourth child and repeat beside +1. Use the same seed on fresh databases at both commits.

Base clips AA and BW; with four agents, +1 also clips GR. Head keeps all three account initials complete in all eight variants on web and iOS. Stills passed pixel-identical screenshot-pair checks at least 500 ms apart; chevrons are settled.
