Summary
Improve Control UI to support scalable multi-agent orchestration with clear agent-subagent hierarchy, active-first visibility, and efficient bulk operations.
Problem to solve
When multiple agents and subagents run concurrently, Control UI becomes hard to operate at scale.
Current views are too flat, so parent-child relationships (
agent -> main session -> subagent tasks) are not clear. Operators must switch contexts frequently to track status and failures, and session history quickly creates noise. This makes concurrent management (kill/steer/retry) slow and error-prone.Proposed solution
Add a dedicated orchestration view (Mission Board / Orchestration Panel) with:
Agent -> Main Session -> Subagent Sessions/Tasksrunning / failed / completed+ history togglekill / steer / retry / cleanupAcceptance targets:
Alternatives considered
CLI workflows (
/subagents list/info/log/kill/steer,/focus) are useful but high-friction for continuous orchestration.Manual naming/filter conventions help partially, but do not solve hierarchy visibility or batch operation efficiency.
