Claude skills using context: fork can show their parent thread's model and effort in the child footer, even when the skill ran with different settings. This is a focused fix for the incorrect attribution reported in #29200.
Claude's fork start event has no Agent tool launch details. Keep its effort unset, associate child frames with the task using Claude's agent ID, and update the model from the child's assistant message even if the completion notification came first. The parent chip and child thread then use the reported model.
Proof: on Linux with Claude Code 2.1.316, a forked test skill emitted task_started without tool_use_id, then a completion notification, then a child assistant frame with agent_id, parent_tool_use_id: forked-command-probe, and the child's model. The focused adapter regression failed on the old code (the child inherited high effort) and passes with two concurrent forks, including a same-model child and a model reported after completion. vp run check:changed passed formatting, lint, knip, GraphQL, typechecking, and 290 tests. The commit hook’s additional repository-wide knip run was stopped under heavy disk pressure; the commit used the already-passing changed-file checks.
Limitation: until Claude emits a child assistant frame, the child thread still uses the parent model as a placeholder; if no such frame arrives, it remains there. Claude does not report fork effort in the stream, so it is intentionally omitted.
Reviewed with review-loop: 2 rounds with Claude Opus 5.5. Reviewer verdict: approved.
Created with GPT-6.1 Terra in Codex.
Verdict: Approved at 689c462
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This change reports the actual model used by Claude forked skills and leaves unknown effort unspecified rather than displaying inherited effort. It updates activity metadata without changing Claude execution defaults.

The Claude adapter now maps forked command IDs to agents and releases buffered frames by agent ID. Assistant frames can update subagent models, including after forked subagents reach a terminal state. Tests cover different frame orders, child models, and effort values.

332bdForked skill children now show the reported model, and frames that arrive early or late are routed correctly. In one narrow ordering, where completion arrives first and the late reply matches the summary text, the child thread may show the same reply twice. This is cosmetic and bounded, so it is mergeable with a small follow-up fix and test.

Explanation
The title names the main change: the server now shows the model used by Claude forked skills. The changeset adds forked-command ID routing and updates subagent models from the child's assistant frames, which matches the title. The title follows a conventional commit format and is 56 characters long.
Explanation
The description follows the template's main sections in substance. It gives the problem (forked skills show the parent's model and effort), the change (agent-ID association, effort left unset, model updated from the child's assistant message), and verification (a focused regression test, a changed-file check run, and a reported 290-test pass). It also states a limitation. The Scope section does not link an issue as the template asks. It cites #29200 in the problem text, but the description does not explain the Scope criteria, such as why the PR is a bug fix and not a feature. The Verification section also does not include a note on the repository-wide knip run that was not completed beyond a brief mention. The description also says 290 tests passed, while the objectives report 376 tests at a later commit, so the test count should be reconciled.
Resolution
Optional improvements: state explicitly in Scope that this is a bug fix and link issue #29200 as the bug report. Reconcile the test count (290 in the description versus 376 in the later comment). Keep the note on the skipped repository-wide knip run.

Update the child-thread model when the fork model changes.
This branch updates subagent.task.modelSelection, but updateClaudeSubagentNode creates the child app thread only while subagent.childThread is null. If the first frame reports a different model, the emitted child-thread record keeps the parent-model placeholder. Emit a child-thread update with the observed model, and assert the child model in the regression test as well as the task model. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

No change needed. updateClaudeSubagentNode emits subagent.updated on every model change, and ProviderEventIngestor runs syncSubagentThreadModel on that event, which writes thread.model-selection-updated to the existing child thread (apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderEventIngestor.ts:342). The child thread follows the task model without a second adapter event.

@maria-rcks You are correct. I verified that ProviderEventIngestor calls syncSubagentThreadModel after storing subagent.updated (Line 779). The function uses subagent.modelSelection and writes thread.model-selection-updated to the existing child thread (Line 371).
I missed this downstream synchronization path. No second adapter event is needed. I withdraw this finding.
Review thread resolved.

Release fork frames after registration.
When a fork child frame precedes its task_started, the frame is buffered before the new fork mapping exists. A later task_started without tool_use_id registers the task but cannot release that buffer. Release pending fork frames by matching their agent_id to the newly registered task, then associate their parent_tool_use_id with that task before replaying them.

Merged current main without rebasing and resolved the effort-handling conflict by keeping main's rule that unreported effort stays unknown. Removed the redundant fork-only unknownEffort flag. The change remains limited to the adapter and its existing regression tests (2 files, +180/-11 against main).
The buffered-frame finding is covered by the existing agent-ID matching and replay logic, including frames arriving before task registration and reused command IDs. Resolved that thread. The other finding was already withdrawn because ProviderEventIngestor synchronizes child-thread model updates.

Avoid a duplicate child reply when a fork frame arrives after completion.
When task_notification arrives before the fork's assistant frame, the completion emits a task:<id>:result reply. The late assistant frame then reaches emitSubagentConversationMessage at line 10726, and that emit does not compare its text with the summary reply or dedupe by ID. If the texts match, the child shows the same reply twice under two IDs.
Decide which copy to keep before changing either path. Suppressing only the late frame can leave the synthesized result above the child's own messages. A safer option is to defer the :result synthesis until the child transcript settles, so a matching assistant message can replace it.
Extend the existing ordering test in ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts so the summary and the late assistant text match. Assert that the child receives one assistant reply with that text.
