list_agents called a storage-only continuable child 'complete', inviting
parents to poll it for a result that will never appear there. Rename the
status to 'ready' — resumable, not terminal — and rewrite the tool
description to say a parent is told when a child finishes, so listing is
for recall, not polling.
A continuable child that stopped without reporting — an error, a token
ceiling, cancellation, teardown — left its parent nothing to act on.
The continuation manager now delivers an unconditional settlement
notice to the durable direct parent before releasing ownership, folding
consumed work (foldConsumedWork supersedes findLastMessageTurnEnd) so a
claimed-but-unrun prompt reads as aborted rather than completed, waking
an idle parent, steering a busy one, and never waking a closing tree.
A continuable child could finish without giving its parent a usable
result: the report tool was described as optional and its default
delivery stayed quiet. Install the child-scoped report obligation (tool
description plus the tool:report prompt section), default reportDelivery
to wakeup, bind shipped subagent_fork delegations to one-shot so fork
keeps its prefix reuse, and extend the ACP snapshot harness to pin child
system prompts alongside child tool schemas.
interrupt_agent(agent_id) passes the calling agent as the ancestor
authority for ctx.subagents.interrupt(); the service verifies live
registry identity and recorded lineage, so a direct child or deeper
descendant stops with the same generic parameter while send_message keeps
its exact-direct-parent authority.
Discovery: list_agents gains an optional scope. descendants walks the new
SubagentService.listDescendants() — one lineage trace flattened in stable
pre-order across ordinary and one-shot intermediates, each entry carrying
its verified parentId and depth — and every status now comes from the
live Agent registry (running/idle/complete).
Refs #1535
- listChildren() takes an optional AbortSignal and rechecks it after every
un-signalled session-query await (the cold-resume cooperative-cancellation
boundary); list_agents forwards exec.signal so the registry's drain of
started tool bodies cannot block on a slow or large catalog.
- The list_agents description now presents running/complete as a stored-record
snapshot and defers deliverability to send_message, matching the ownership-
conflict semantics the service tests pin.
Implements the durable-subagent-catalog RFC: SubagentControlService.listChildren()
enumerates a parent's direct continuable children from one sessionQuery trace,
validates each child's sole subagent/descriptor event (now carrying the durable
creation label), and returns one ordered SubagentListEntry[] with per-child
corrupt/unsupported/unavailable diagnostics. The list_agents tool ships as a
separately loadable plugin of dsh-tool-subagent-control requiring sessionQuery
at load; send_message stays usable without it.
- Make host-user authority unforgeable. `{ kind: 'user' }` was a bare
discriminant, so any plugin holding `ctx.subagents` — including
model-generated cordis_mount code, which the advanced ACP composition ships
alongside continuable subagents — could construct it and skip the
direct-parent check for any known child id. It now carries an opaque grant
that only SubagentService.userAuthority() mints, which composition hands to
trusted host adapters; a model-facing tool uses parent authority from its own
execution context.
- Reconcile a delivery discarded inside its own admission window. An enqueue
listener that cancels fires the discard before followup() returns, so the
discard listener could not clear an id it had not seen; submit() retained it
and residency stayed `running` until an explicit drain.
- Recheck the caller signal after materialization. An abort landing between
publication and inbox acceptance still submitted the prompt and returned both
ids; it now rolls the child back.
- Stop promising the model transcript access that no shipped continuable config
mounts. The tools now state only that a background child does not report back.
- Restate the implemented note as shipped state rather than a proposal, so it
works as current authority.
Every scenario compares its live tool schemas and system prompt against the
shared header pins, so the Task-free subagent and send_message descriptions
change all 14 pin sidecars. The diff is only that wording plus the tools'
output-type shapes.
Implement the continuable background subagents RFC: a durable child
session with a series of Task-backed activations, each disposing its
run before the Task settles.
- dsh-subagent: rename SubagentRun.sendMessage to strict steer, drop
run-level resume, add SubagentProvider.resume dispatch via
SubagentService.resume, the continuation start field, and the
versioned model-hidden subagent/descriptor session event.
- dsh-subagent-inprocess/-spawn/-fork: publish the control-allocated
child id, append the descriptor inside the initial turn, implement
cold resume from the child's own transcript under the live parent
scope, and strict running-only steer.
- dsh-subagent-control (new): SubagentControlService owning stable
child ids, descriptor snapshot/fold/authorization, Task-backed
activation with settle-then-dispose ordering, the process-local
active-run association, and steer-or-resume sendMessage routing.
- dsh-tool-subagent: background route branches on the provider's
resume capability (continuable via the control service; one-shot
task for ACP), returning both child and task ids.
- dsh-tool-subagent-control (new): the globally named send_message
tool rendering steered/started routes.
Keyless coverage spans Task ownership and disposal ordering, running
delivery, cold follow-up, descriptor rejection and rollback, known-id
reconstruction, kill during lookup, admission races, and a new
subagent-continuable ACP snapshot scenario.
The web-fetch pinsHeader scenario landed on master after this branch, so its
tool-schemas.expected.json carried the old at-most-one-in_progress description
while replay assembles the new one. Refreshed keylessly with
DSH_SNAPSHOT=refresh; the Agent Note now records that every pinning scenario
carries its own copy of the description, so a branch changing it has to refresh
the pins that landed after it branched.
Implements the turndown Agent Note from the NIH dependency audit (full
variant, not the minimal entities-only fallback): dsh-tool-web's fetch
rendering now converts HTML through turndown + @joplin/turndown-plugin-gfm
(atx headings, fenced code, dash bullets, GFM tables/strikethrough) over
the real domino DOM, with script/style/noscript removed wholesale. The
hand-rolled ~86-line regex converter html.ts and its entity tables are
deleted; renderBody wraps the conversion in try/catch falling back to
the raw HTML body, because turndown's recursive DOM walk overflows with
a RangeError on pathological nesting (measured: 4k levels on the main
thread, 8k in a worker) where the regex version could never throw.
Closure weight, measured: tool-web IS in the single-exe runtime closure,
and the exe asset globs would pack ~7.9 MB of the three new packages —
but ~6 MB of that is domino's test corpus, with runtime lib/ at ~550 KB
against a ~174 MB artifact (<0.5% either way), so the swap wins.
Per testing policy the previously-missing keyless web_fetch snapshot
ships in the same change: the acp-agent `web-fetch` scenario boots a new
web.cordis.yml overlay (web seam + real dsh-web-fetch-local provider +
tool-web fetch-only + a loopback HTTP fixture server on a fixed port
serving deterministic HTML with entities, a GFM table, and nesting), so
recording and keyless replay both drive the real HTTP fetch and real
conversion end to end; the scenario pins the new `web` header class.
The Agent Note moves proposed -> implemented and is rewritten per the
lifecycle contract (Decision/Consequences/Testing, closure verdict and
alternatives recorded); tool-web and acp-agent READMEs updated in both
languages and pairs re-recorded.
