Problem

When a parent thread sends a finished delegated child a follow-up (t3_thread_send) and the child starts its own delegate_task in that follow-up, the parent's follow-up task closed as soon as the child's turn ended. The parent showed done, and task_status and delegate_task waits returned result_available with the child's pre-subagent reply while the grandchild was still running. The child's reply after the grandchild finished never reached the parent. When the child starts the subagent in its first turn, the original task already waits.

Reproduced on main (5067b8865a) with a dev server on a fresh database and the Claude provider: the parent delegates B, B finishes, the parent sends B a follow-up that starts C (C sleeps 100 s), and B replies "BETA". The follow-up record went completed/delivered with "BETA" 0.4 s after B's turn ended, while C ran for another 105 s. It reproduced the same way with Codex children and when the parent sent B a second follow-up while C was still running.

Change

A follow-up task now waits and settles the way the original task already does, scoped to the runs that belong to it:

  • delegatedRunOwners / delegatedFollowupProgress in packages/provider-core/src/server/subagentProjection.ts work out which child runs belong to a follow-up. That is the follow-up's own tagged runs plus the untagged runs that continue them: a delegatedCompletion wake for a subagent one of its runs started (as the wake's first message, or steered into a running run), or a restart continuation. Ownership is resolved from those links, not from ordinals, so a held queue that resumes out of order is still attributed.
  • A follow-up reports waiting_for_children while a subagent started by one of its own runs is active or its completion is still being delivered. Subagents started by other turns in the child don't hold it, and other turns in the child don't release it.
  • Its result is the last of its runs to execute, so it settles with the child's wake turn after the grandchild finishes. A wake that was cancelled before it started is skipped.
  • finalizeAppOwnedSubagentTask, delegatedTaskResultPending, and the MCP task_status, pendingTaskApproval, t3_thread_read acknowledgement and result-transfer lookup all use this one attribution, so they agree.

Verification

Focused tests (9 files, 276 tests pass on the merged head):

  • DelegatedCompletionDelivery.test.ts (real orchestrator):
    • "holds a follow-up open while the child's own subagent still runs": the follow-up stays open while the grandchild runs, through another child turn, and through the wake turn, then settles with the wake turn's reply.
    • "settles a follow-up on a held older run that received its subagent's wake".
    • "settles a follow-up on its own reply when its subagent's wake is cancelled unstarted".
  • OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts, "reports a follow-up as waiting while the child's own subagent runs": task_status reports waiting_for_children and surfaces an approval requested in the wake turn. Reading the wake reply with t3_thread_read acknowledges the follow-up.
  • subagentProjection.test.ts: steered-wake attribution.
  • Each test failed on the commit before its fix. For example, on main: the follow-up closed while the child's own subagent was still running: expected 'Child task completed without an assis…' to equal null and expected 'result_available' to equal 'waiting_for_children'.
  • Also run and passing: RestartContinuation, ProjectionRecovery, SteeringCompletion.integration, ThreadStop, Orchestrator.control-reads, SubagentProjection.
  • vp run check:changed passes.

Runtime transcript from the real app: the same driver on fresh dev databases, each created by its own side's server, Claude provider, main 5067b8865a against this branch at cd5bab01b6.

RunBefore (5067b8865a)After (cd5bab01b6)
Literal stepsFollow-up closed 0.4 s after B's turn, while C ran 105 s more; result "BETA"Follow-up open until B's wake turn after C ended; result is that wake reply
Second follow-up while C runsFirst follow-up closed with "BETA" while C ran; B's post-C reply never reached the parentFirst follow-up held through the second one's turn; settled with B's wake reply after C

The fix is server-only and no client code changed. The parent's Working/Waiting indicator reads the task status shown above, so there are no UI captures. Not checked: remote (cross-environment) delegated children, and a wake steered into an active monitor run.

The spawning follow-up can report result_available with its stale reply while the steered receiving turn is still running.

Approvability

Verdict: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This change makes delegated follow-ups track their own continuation runs and wait for subagents they started. The unresolved High finding about premature stale results remains subject to the separate correctness blocking gate; no additional product or operational risk requiring human judgment was identified.

Needs human approval because:

Thanks, @juliusmarminge. This duplicates your earlier #30469, which fixes the same premature follow-up completion and has regression tests, runtime recordings, and green checks. Please carry any distinct edge cases into that PR if needed.

JJulius Marminge22h ago

Reopened: this fixes the same premature follow-up completion as #30469, but is the live keeper: its recent head merges cleanly with main while the older PR conflicts. Thanks, @juliusmarminge.

Following the maintainer redirect from #21877, two observation/acknowledgement orderings from our executed regression evidence are worth retaining here:

  • Follow-up A starts nested task G and returns an interim; independent follow-up B reads G through public task_status before G's automatic continuation is dispatched.
  • The same read occurs after G's continuation has queued behind B.

In that historical SQLite-backed reproduction, the first ordering admitted A's interim as its final result; the second cancelled A's queued continuation and lost its final handover. Both observation variants failed before an ownership-aware acknowledgement guard and passed afterwards, alongside the original three orderings. Those executed results apply to the local 235-based lineage ending at 1e5469e2506049e445af202d2e81c5323a63bace, not this PR.

Reading cd5bab01b6, completion acknowledgement still removes the nested task from the delivery and can cancel an empty queued wake; follow-up progress skips an untagged wake cancelled before it starts. This is a source-inspection concern to check with the two orderings above, not a claim that I executed them on this head.

The regression should preserve the unfinished spawning follow-up's continuation when an unrelated run merely reads the nested result, while retaining intentional cancel/dispose behavior. This is distinct from the existing steered-receiving-run ownership review finding. No branch changes or duplicate implementation PR from me.

A distinct edge case, as invited on #21877: a follow-up whose turn awaits a background command still completes with its interim reply, on this PR's head and when merged with #32223.

A child that finished its original task gets a follow-up through t3_thread_send. In that turn it starts a run_in_background command, calls t3_background_wait on it as its system prompt says, replies "still running", and ends the turn. The follow-up completes right then, with that reply. When the command exits, the wake turn's real reply arrives as another task with the child's title, so the parent sees three tasks for two requests.

This is #21837's background-command case, which #21877 held. Here delegatedFollowupProgress waits only on subagents, and its doc comment says background work "is not attributable to a run" (packages/provider-core/src/server/subagentProjection.ts:341 at cd5bab01). Under the explicit-wait model, the awaited mark may give that link: the child calls t3_background_wait during a turn of that follow-up. With #32223, an original task already waits for an awaited command that exits after its turn ends; a follow-up ignores the mark.

To help repro that, the two tests from #21837, ported to the explicit-wait model (the roster entry is awaited: true):

Test in DelegatedCompletionDelivery.test.tsmain 80e1e4d1this PR cd5bab01main + this PR + #32223 44c06eed
holds a follow-up while a background command from its run still runsfailfailfail
completes a follow-up with the result of its background command's wakefailfailfail

Both fail with the interim reply as the result: expected 'The build is running; I'll report wh…' to equal null, and … to equal 'The build passed.'. Every other test in the file passes on each tree, including this PR's. A rough prototype on the merged tree, which holds the follow-up and attaches the wake to it, turns both green, so they fail for this reason. It is not a proposed fix: it ignores which follow-up started the command.

Regression tests (DelegatedCompletionDelivery.test.ts)

Put seedBackgroundFollowup above the subagent follow-ups block, and the two tests at the end of that block, so the continuation requests they leave queued reach no other test. They use the file's existing helpers and imports.

The follow-up/command ownership boundary also has historical evidence on #24391. That local integration exercised the Claude SDK fixture, production ingestion and SQLite recovery; those results do not apply to the current #33539/#32223 heads.

For an extension of these two regressions, the important control is an independent follow-up B between A's wait registration and the command's wake:

  1. A marks its command awaited and ends its turn with an interim.
  2. B is admitted as an independent queued/active follow-up before A's command completes.
  3. A's command exits; the roster empties before its native wake attaches.
  4. The wake must continue A and deliver A's final result once. It must neither become a new follow-up nor inherit B merely because B is the latest task. B's unrelated unfinished work must not prevent A from finishing.

The wait-registration/ingestion boundary should establish the source owner before the roster-to-wake gap releases its hold; checking only a projection seeded with awaited: true does not by itself exercise that capture. The same ownership should survive late/coalesced reports and recovery, with no duplicate parent result.

This is why a thread-wide hold alone would not be a sufficient fix. I am carrying forward the existing ownership witness, not proposing the earlier combined local fork or claiming new executions on these heads.

Walkthrough

Delegated follow-up runs now contribute to task ownership and progress. Orchestration keeps a follow-up open while its child work or completion delivery is pending. MCP task and thread reads use the attributed runs to report approvals, progress, and result transfers.

Changes: Delegated Follow-up Lifecycle

Layer / File(s)Summary
Attribute runs and compute follow-up progress
packages/provider-core/src/server/subagentProjection.ts, packages/provider-core/src/server/subagentProjection.test.ts		Projection helpers attribute runs through restart continuations and wake messages, order follow-up runs, and report whether a result is working, waiting for children, or available. Tests cover follow-up run selection.
Use follow-up progress for orchestration settlement
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/DelegatedCompletionDelivery.test.ts		Finalization and pending-result checks use follow-up progress. Tests cover active grandchildren, queued or cancelled wakes, and wakes delivered to held older runs.
Apply ownership to MCP task and thread reads
apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts		Task approval, child-task discovery, result transfers, and thread reads use attributed runs. Tests cover waiting status, wake replies, approvals, and acknowledgement.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#33482] requires the parent task to remain waiting while a child’s follow-up runs its own delegated subagent, and requires task waits to avoid returning a result early. delegatedRunOwners and delegatedFollowupProgress attribute wake and restart-continuation runs to the follow-up. Orchestrator.ts keeps finalization pending while those runs have active subagents. task_status and result-pending checks use the same progress state. The added orchestrator and MCP tests cover waiting through the child wake and settling with its reply. No concrete coding requirement remains unmet.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes in subagentProjection.ts, Orchestrator.ts, and OrchestratorMcpService.ts, plus the added tests, support issue [#33482]. Approval lookup, result-transfer lookup, and t3_thread_read acknowledgement use the same follow-up attribution so task status and result delivery remain consistent. The reviewed changes show no unrelated functionality.

3035-3064: External image Trivial · Performance & Scalability · Low value

Narrow the wake-message load in readThread.

The code uses wakeRunIds to load user messages. wakeRunIds contains every untagged child run that ran after the first follow-up. This load runs on every t3_thread_read of a child thread when the parent calls it, even when the result page has no rows from those runs. Long-lived child threads with many later turns therefore load all of those user messages, including their full text, on each read. The repository guideline says changes must consider performance.

delegatedRunOwners needs only two kinds of message: messages that carry delegatedCompletion, and the chain that links those messages to the runs in returnedRunIds. Use one of these fixes:

  • Filter the load to delegated-completion messages, if the store supports that filter.
  • Skip the load when no row in returnedRunIds comes from a run in wakeRunIds.

As per coding guidelines, "Make sure all changes are considerate of performance impact."

4In readThread, avoid loading wake messages when no row in returnedRunIds belongs to a run in wakeRunIds; only call getThreadRecords when that intersection is non-empty. Preserve the existing message retrieval and delegatedRunOwners behavior when relevant rows exist.

Evidence

Same steps on both commits:

  1. A delegates B asynchronously; B replies READY and finishes.
  2. A sends the same B a follow-up using t3_thread_send. B asynchronously delegates C, which runs foreground sleep 100 and replies GRANDCHILD_DONE. B ends with BETA, then replies FINAL on its completion wake.
  3. A waits 20 seconds and calls task_status once while C runs.
  4. Observe whether A receives the interim reply or B's final wake reply.

Environment for both recordings: isolated real Linux development servers, fresh synthetic databases with automatic seeding disabled, identical driver and agent runtime, white 120-column terminal, 1096×830 recording at 5 fps. Videos retain real elapsed time.

At 52s, task_status reports result_available, summary BETA, while C runs. At 54s, A receives PARENT_RESULT:BETA. B later replies FINAL, but A's result stays BETA.At 56s, task_status reports waiting_for_children, summary null. The follow-up remains active through C and B's wake turn. At 265s, A receives PARENT_RESULT:FINAL.
