fix(opencode): close the parent-record subagent end cases (experimental setting) by devswha · Pull Request #3167 · devswha/ovis

devswha · 2026-11-06T09:28:05Z

Fixes #3027. Refs #1999 (the reading stays opt-in until anomalyco/opencode#57418 ships). Supersedes #3022 (its branch, merged with main, plus the fixes below).

What

#3022 read an OpenCode subagent's end from its parent session's record (the subagent call block, or the background notice), behind Read OpenCode subagent ends from their session (experimental). That reading is ready for anomalyco/opencode#57418, where a child can go idle while its parent still waits on it. It was parked because review still reproduced open cases with the setting on. This PR keeps everything from #3022 and closes those cases using only facts OpenCode records. The setting stays experimental and off by default, because #57418 is still open upstream. With the setting off, nothing reads parent rows, so behaviour matches main.

Each item below has a test that fails on #3022's head and passes here.

A late background notice no longer ends a newer call the parent waits on (OpenCode subagent ends from the parent record: close the cases left open before it can be on by default #3027 case 2). A background notice's row id is the job's notificationID. OpenCode names that id when the job goes to the background (Job.markBackground, then SubagentCompletion.deliver writes the synthetic row with id: notificationID, in 2.2.2 and 2.2.5). Row ids are Identifier.ascending: 12 hex digits of ms * 4096 + counter, then random characters. A subagent call's row id is named when its step begins. A call the parent still waits on started a job of its own: a call to a child whose job is already in the background joins that job and is answered at once (subagent.ts, Job.block). So a notice named before that call's step answers an older job, however late it was written, and it does not end the call. Every other pair keeps row order, because a call answered as backgrounded may have joined the job that an older-named notice ends. A test covers that join case. Ids of any other form (forked rows, plain ids) fall back to row order, as before.
A staged /undo is applied before the newest record per child is picked (OpenCode subagent ends from the parent record: close the cases left open before it can be on by default #3027 case 4). The parent rows the boundary hides are not read at all, so an older call the chat still shows decides. When the boundary moves below what the log has read, the log starts over.
The first read of a long parent history no longer misses the frame that ends a turn (OpenCode subagent ends from the parent record: close the cases left open before it can be on by default #3027 case 3). Reading more than a page of parent rows from the start takes more than the two synchronous steps (a pane just bound, a log started over). In that case the children's own rows are read alone as well, as with the setting off. Their counts are told at once, but only when neither count is lower than the counts that stand. So a plainly running child counts in the turn-end frame, and no count falls before the whole read says so.
Turning the setting off mid-wait no longer holds BG for a minute (OpenCode subagent ends from the parent record: close the cases left open before it can be on by default #3027 case 5). The tracker tells onChange that a count was read under the other side of the setting. BackgroundWait.running then starts no grace for a count that fell that way.
The time_updated watermark (feat(opencode): read a subagent's end from its parent's record (experimental setting) #3022 open item 5). A row the log took a word from is read again whenever its time_updated differs from the one read, older or newer. A session whose newest row is older than the log's watermark (a clock set back, a restored store) starts the read over.
A wake in the same millisecond as the recorded end (feat(opencode): read a subagent's end from its parent's record (experimental setting) #3022 open item 6) counts as a wake: a run cannot end in the millisecond it was dispatched.

Not changed

feat(opencode): read a subagent's end from its parent's record (experimental setting) #3022 open item 7 (one pass over the parent's row headers on each warm poll, measured at about 90 ms on 250,000 rows) is unchanged. The new watermark check reuses the read the log already makes of the rows it relies on.
A late notice after a newer call that was answered as backgrounded keeps row order. OpenCode writes nothing in the parent's rows that tells a fresh background job from one the call joined. The job table's pending markers (2.2.5) could tell them apart, but this PR does not read a new table.

Validation

Failing-first: 6 of the 7 new tests in server/opencode-subagents.test.ts (late notice, staged /undo order, same-millisecond wake, long cold read, clock set back, setting toggle) and the new server/background-wait.test.ts test fail on feat(opencode): read a subagent's end from its parent's record (experimental setting) #3022's head and pass here. The seventh, the join case, passes on both and guards against a regression. Existing tracker tests now expect the new fifth onChange argument (false).
bun test server/opencode-subagents.test.ts server/background-wait.test.ts server/core/status.test.ts: 133 pass, 0 fail.
bun run typecheck: pass.
bun run check fast: pass on old-desktop through the heavy runner (unit 12690 pass, 0 fail, 38 skip in 766 files; typecheck, build, generated types/themes, workflow syntax ok).
Merged origin/main: the settings row moved into Appearance's Experimental fold next to Lock pinned agents (experimental), the fold's keys include opencodeParentEnds, and the i18n parts include settings-agents.*.

Not run: the browser regression suites (the only UI change is one row in an existing settings fold, with no selection or focus change), and a live OpenCode with #57418 (that PR has not merged).

A child session can go idle while background work it started still runs (anomalyco/opencode#57418): its parent's subagent call is answered only once that work ends. Read the parent's newest subagent call or background notice for each child first, and fall back to the child's own rows only for a child no call names or one woken after its parent was told it ended. The parent's rows are read on from the last one seen, its open ones again until they settle. Fixes #1999

…hanged in it Review round: the module-wide 64-session cache could evict a read in progress (a read never finished with 65+ long sessions), and kept a call row an /undo deleted or replaced. Each pane's tracker now keeps its own log, a scan works on its own copy, and a read checks the rows it read are still there and re-reads those written since (time_updated), starting over when one was taken out or put in. A foreground call the parent's run left (an idle row after it) or a staged /undo hides falls back to the child's rows; a cancelled job's tool error counts as cancelled.

…-end

…keeps one sessionView asks session_v2 for revert and counts the session's rows again; a store without the column (and the status hub's test store) threw, and the read gave nothing.

…-end

…ehind an experimental setting The re-review reproduced a crashed foreground call holding a child that the restarted service woke and ended, and found the reading still has corners (a late notice after a new call, a cold long parent history at turn end). Settings -> Appearance -> Read OpenCode subagent ends from their session (experimental) is off by default, and off the reader takes no parent rows at all: each child's own rows tell, as before.

…-end

…f their own settings.*.ts were one line over the 400-line limit.

…its on nothing A foreground call last written before the OpenCode service now running started was the old service's: its child's own rows tell, as the children's orphan rule says. A read begun under the other side of the experimental setting tells nothing; the next poll reads again.

…-end

… gone tells nothing A background call answered while still running and never told ended, last written before the service now running started, held its child too.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added an experimental, off-by-default Appearance setting for OpenCode subagent completion. When enabled, a subagent remains running and its background wait stays active until its parent session records that it has ended.
- Added translations for the setting in Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese.

Adds an experimental, off-by-default Appearance setting that lets OpenCode subagent end status follow parent-session records. Updates parent-history scanning, paged tracking, and background-wait handling, with tests for parent-call outcomes, history changes, and setting toggles.

Changes: OpenCode subagent parent-end tracking

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Setting and user-facing control `src/lib/settings.ts`, `shared/preferences.ts`, `src/components/SettingsDialog.tsx`, `src/lib/settings.legacy-fixture.ts`, `src/lib/i18n..ts`, `src/lib/i18n/settings-agents..ts`, `changelog.d/opencode-subagent-end-from-parent.md`	Adds the shared `opencodeParentEnds` boolean setting, defaults it to `false`, sanitizes its stored value, and adds the experimental Appearance toggle and Japanese, Korean, and Chinese translations.
Parent-record end selection `server/opencode-subagents.ts`, `server/opencode-subagents.test.ts`	Scans parent subagent calls and background notices to select child-run end status and time. Combines parent records with child rows and tests call outcomes, notice ordering, undo boundaries, and history changes.
Paged tracking and background waits `server/opencode-subagents.ts`, `server/opencode-subagents.test.ts`, `server/core/status.ts`, `server/core/status.fake.ts`, `server/background-wait.ts`, `server/background-wait.test.ts`	Threads the setting and saved parent log through paged polling. Reports setting changes with count updates and passes settled count drops to background-wait handling. Tests cover tracker updates and clearing a held wait after a setting change.

Merge Risk: Low · up to b7831

The experimental setting can show incorrect subagent completion status or mistime completion alerts, especially during long initial reads and setting changes. Default behavior remains protected by the setting being off; merging carries bounded risk that should be acknowledged and followed up.

Explanation

[#3027] The experimental Appearance setting defaults to off and preserves child-only reads when disabled. The parent reader handles late notices and applies staged /undo before selecting child records. A child-only fallback covers long cold reads. Setting-change notifications prevent a toggle-only count drop from starting BackgroundWait grace. The PR reports automated tests for these cases and the background-job join case.

…whose set-aside notice may end its call - the rows the log relied on are checked by primary key (json_each outside a CROSS JOIN), not with a correlated match over the session's rows: a warm poll with 400 answered calls and 5,000 steps took about 1.7 s, now about 21 ms (#3022's head: about 19 ms) - a notice set aside for a waited call is read again once that call is answered as having joined a background job Refs #3027

Review record for head b78311da.

Round 1 (head 42704aa8): omo BLOCK (1 MEDIUM, 1 LOW); Codex Terra xhigh found 1 HIGH and 4 MEDIUM.

HIGH/MEDIUM, fixed: the check for rewritten log rows was a correlated match over the session's rows. In Codex's fixture (400 answered calls, 5,000 steps) a warm poll blocked for about 1.7 s. It is now one primary-key lookup per row, and the same poll takes about 21 ms (feat(opencode): read a subagent's end from its parent's record (experimental setting) #3022's head: about 19 ms).
MEDIUM, fixed: a late notice set aside for a waited call was dropped when that call was then answered as having joined the job. A test fails before the fix.

Round 2 (head b78311da): omo CLEAR; Codex confirmed both fixes and found no new HIGH.

Left open, all only with the experimental setting on (also listed in the PR body):

MEDIUM: on a cold read of more than a page of parent rows, a child that is idle while its background call has no notice counts 0 until the whole read is in. That is the same count as with the setting off (and main).
LOW: a wall clock set back between a job going to the background and a newer call can reverse the id order, so the old notice ends the new call.
LOW: a row the log did not take a word from, rewritten in place at an older time (a clock set back) or replaced at an already-read seq, is read again only when the log starts over.
LOW: when the dispatch and the parent's answer share a millisecond, the child is taken as woken. This is the deliberate choice for feat(opencode): read a subagent's end from its parent's record (experimental setting) #3022 item 6: a run cannot end in the millisecond it was dispatched.
LOW: the setting row sits in Appearance's Experimental fold, as in feat(opencode): read a subagent's end from its parent's record (experimental setting) #3022. Moving it to the Agents page can be a follow-up.
LOW: a warm poll still makes one pass over the parent's row headers (feat(opencode): read a subagent's end from its parent's record (experimental setting) #3022 item 7, unchanged).
LOW, unreproduced: if the setting is toggled during a cold read, the provisional count is recorded as read under "on", so toggled could be off by one for that tell.

Checks: bun run check fast passed at this head (unit 12683 pass, 0 fail, 50 skip).

Review comments at @server/background-wait.ts:
- Line 82: In the background-wait logic around the `pane.turnRunning`
transition, clear any existing grace when the work count rises again so a later
drop to zero cannot reuse an obsolete deadline. Add a test covering the sequence
of count rising during grace, disabling the setting, and then dropping to zero.

Review comments at @server/opencode-subagents.ts:
- Around line 891-896: Update the newly bound pane’s synchronous scan in the
flow that creates `own` and calls `scanStep` so it can account for parent-held
children even when parent history exceeds two pages. Ensure `states` includes
the child’s running state before the turn-end frame is published, rather than
allowing the frame to report zero tasks while the asynchronous scan is pending.
- Around line 945-952: Update the parent-end transition handling around
`toggled` so disabling parent-end tracking does not suppress the grace period
for a real subagent end observed before the next poll. Distinguish actual end
events from count changes caused solely by the setting change, and preserve the
normal grace behavior for real ends.
- Line 177: Update NAMES_SUBAGENT to use a JSON-aware filter that recognizes the
existing name and source fields regardless of whitespace around colons. Preserve
the assistant and synthetic type checks and the current subagent values so
parent-end tracking handles both parent calls and notices.
- Around line 880-882: Update the scan-discard path in the polling flow that
computes live panes and checks this.reading against tracked.session: after
releasing an outdated scan, schedule a child-only poll using the existing
polling mechanism so stale child counts and BG waits are refreshed without
waiting for another poll.
- Around line 138-142: Update the precedence checks using said, was, and
namedAfter so a newer answered foreground call cannot be replaced by an older
background notice or have its end time overwritten. Preserve the existing
behavior that allows a joined background call’s notice to end the foreground
call; use the existing call relationship and sequence information to distinguish
that case.
