fix(server): show self-resumed Claude subagents as running - #23831
A native Claude background agent can return an interim completed / WAITING, then resume itself while its parent is idle. T3 leaves its card and Lineage Completed and holds its new child-thread steps until the final notification. The exact reported background-sleep prompt reproduces this in the real web dev app and server.
Change
Treat a registered terminal subagent's task_started under its current launch tool ID as continuation evidence. The existing continuation path reopens the same child, keeps a run subscribed to its events, and persists subsequent steps live. Explicit SendMessage resumes retain their existing admission behavior.
One adapter regression covers the real SDK frame order, child-owned background Bash, changed native run ID, parent user-turn coexistence, child routing and final completion. The committed scenario and composer seeder rebuild the same live SDK flow for evidence verification.
Triaged bug via the automated issue flow; GitCafe mirror #16610. This changes only native Claude self-resume admission; it adds no option, persisted field or contract.
Verification
Merged current main f416175804 into the branch as 74c7c7722b. vp run check:changed passed: format, lint, knip, GraphQL, affected typechecks, and 209/209 adapter tests. git diff --check passed. The only conflict was Knip configuration; main’s general fixture entry covers the seeder, so this PR no longer changes Knip configuration. The adapter and regression auto-merged without overlapping changes.
vp run check:changed passed on b99b2daa5e: format, lint, knip, GraphQL, typecheck, and all 208 adapter tests. Check transcript. git diff --check passed.
Main 22840ab943 was merged with a merge commit. The audited adapter and regression test are byte-identical to 1f20a8caa2; later fixture import cleanup preserves the exact emitted browser expression. Main’s existing fixture glob covers the directly invoked seeder.
The new real-frame regression fails without resume admission: AssertionError: expected 1 to equal 2 (continuation count). The initial baseline also showed expected completed to equal running.
Real app baseline: SDK resume at 19:16:01.426; T3 only reopened at 19:17:09.698, immediately before final completion. Final implementation: SDK resume at 19:53:16.881; persisted Running at 19:53:17.298; subsequent child steps persisted live. Parent PONG completed while the child remained active, then DONE_SELF settled the same child.
Independent proof audit accepted all 16 viewport/theme/milestone pairs and independently verified all 32 diff images. Its rebuilt lifecycle persisted one child and five completed commands, including reload. The rebuild has 2.06% unmasked pixel differences from live titles, durations and hover; this is disclosed, with no claim of visual identity.
Integrated-head runtime
Repeated the exact committed fixture after merging main, at b99b2daa5e, on the real dev server and Chrome 154 at 1440×900 CSS, DPR 2, normal light appearance, default fonts. Recording starts 20:37:35.955 UTC and ends 20:39:43.673. SDK self-resume at +44.707s (20:38:20.662); persisted Running at20:38:20.663. At +52.3s send PONG request; assistant PONG persists at +53.8s while child remains Running. Open original child at +57s and expand running command group around +77s; resumed command rows appear live. DONE_SELF persists at +114.151s; reload the original child around +120s and verify final result survives. Return to parent at +126s. Exactly one persisted child and five completed commands (initial background sleep plus four resumed commands).
Real web dev servers and live Claude Agent SDK, Claude Opus 5.5 Medium, fs-24 Linux, Chrome 154, no device emulation, DPR 2, zoom 1, default font scaling and loaded fonts. CSS viewports 1440×900 and 390×844, light and dark. Desktop PNG snapshots are tool-downsampled to 1280×800; desktop recordings preserve 2880×1800. Narrow snapshots and videos are 780×1688. Same exact synthetic prompt and cloned development data; clocks and provider-generated text are live, not frozen. No production projection seeding.
Run node scripts/fixtures/issue-16610/seed.js from the checked-out SHA and evaluate its output in a new isolated development draft with Claude Opus 5.5 Medium selected; submit normally. The committed scenario starts a background agent that launches a 30-second background Bash sleep, returns WAITING, resumes itself for four successive 15-second commands, then returns DONE_SELF. During resumed work send Reply with exactly PONG. Do not use tools. Open the original child and expand command history at successive milestones; return to parent and inspect Lineage, then final completion and reload.
What else changed
Intended: resumed cards and Lineage return to Running, progress and child commands stream before DONE_SELF, an existing background continuation run appears and adopts the child. Both original and continuation activity cards may reference the same child; persisted child IDs remain unique. Final outcomes settle normally.
Incidental visible differences: generated thread titles, model prose, timestamps, elapsed durations, command descriptions, native IDs, sidebar thread order and ages, branch/ref and commit controls, VCS diff counts (+227/−19 and later fixture +26), scroll positions from different text lengths, expanded command groups/Previous agents, number of recorded assistant responses, and live working indicators. Narrow-dark after recording includes a reconnecting banner before the later persisted final still. No claim that nothing else changed or that the pixel deltas isolate only the fix.
Limitations
Narrow M2 and M4 tables use supplemental full-lifecycle recordings with Lineage open; these replace the initial chat-only stills. See supplemental narrated checkpoints below.
The initial desktop-dark parent still preceded resume and is excluded. A supplemental baseline recording and post-resume still at 20:16:40 replace M1/M2; its SDK resume was 20:16:18.226. M3/M4 use the original baseline run. The original narrow-dark recording reconnects before final settlement; the independent supplemental recording replaces that missing final checkpoint. Native mobile and Electron are not separately certified; changed code is the shared Claude server adapter. Other providers are unchanged.

…is idle goes live again (#16610)
Claude reports a background subagent completed when its turn ends with its own
shell still running, then resumes it with a task_started under the original
launch call while the root turn is idle. That start was only buffered as wake
evidence, so the card stayed Finished and every child frame was held behind it.
Apply that exact resume (known terminal subagent, same launch tool_use_id)
against the settled turn, keeping the subagent's own run.
The test now waits on an idle roster update as an ordered event barrier, so it
fails on the status assertion without the fix instead of reading events before
they are delivered.

…idle shows as running again
Claude reports a background subagent completed when its turn ends while its
own background shell still runs, then resumes it under its launch call once
that shell finishes. The launching run stopped listening at the interim
completion, so events emitted while the root was idle reached no run and the
card stayed Finished. Such a resume now requests a continuation, as a
notification does, and because Claude does not wake the root for it, the
continuation settles its root turn at once instead of holding it busy.
Replaces the idle reopen from the previous commit, whose events were never
persisted because no run subscribed to them.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This change opens continuations so self-resumed Claude subagents appear running while the root is idle. An unresolved review concern about SendMessage resumes leaving registry and UI state inconsistent, potentially causing failed or cancelled child outcomes, needs resolution.
No code changes detected at a9d5727. Prior analysis still applies.

The one-line Knip change registers the manually invoked reproduction seeder as an executable entry, following the adjacent fixture pattern. It retains analysis of that entry and its dependencies; no ignore rule or analysis setting is disabled. The fixture and seeder are required by this issue's verification procedure.
A fresh source review confirmed this scope. The human-approval decision remains with the maintainer.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The Claude adapter now reopens a completed subagent only when its task_started event uses the original launch tool ID. A regression test checks the resumed task state, child-thread tool routing, and final completion.
A matching task_started resets the known subagent’s status, progress, result, confirmed outcome, and lifecycle timestamps. Other known-subagent starts do not reopen the task.
The regression test checks that the resumed task is running under the continuation run, its Bash tool routes to the child thread, and its eventual completion records the final result.
Issue 16808 reports that delegate_task from a background subagent can fail with parent_not_active. This change does not modify MCP run ownership.

Merge Risk: Low · up to a9d57
A Claude subagent that resumes on its own is now shown as running with its steps routed live. In one narrow timing case, where the background notification was already consumed during a parent user turn, the parent can stay busy for up to about two minutes and reject a new turn. It recovers by itself. The change is mergeable, with this edge case worth following up.

Explanation
The title names the core change: a self-resumed Claude subagent is now shown as running. It follows the conventional commit format. The raw summary and PR objectives both describe the adapter change that reopens a registered terminal subagent on a matching launch tool ID, so the title is related to the main change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. The Problem section gives the expected and observed behavior. The Change section explains the adapter fix and states that SendMessage admission is unchanged. The Scope section links issue #16610 and states that the change adds no option, persisted field, or contract. The Verification section gives focused test results, the failing-before run, runtime timelines, and screenshot and recording evidence. It also states what was not certified (native mobile, Electron, other providers). The description is very long and carries much incidental evidence, but it covers every required section with specific content. The template's guidance that tests passing alone is insufficient is met by the detailed verification.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #16610 requires that a terminal native Claude subagent returns to Running when a system/task_started arrives with the same task_id, the original launch tool_use_id, and a new run_id, and that its resumed steps then stream to the child thread. At head, ClaudeAdapterV2.ts computes isResumedSubagentTaskStarted with Ref.modify. It returns true only when the registered subagent is not running and registered.runToolUseId equals message.tool_use_id. The task is reset to running (result and completedAt cleared, startedAt and updatedAt set). That flag is added to the wake-buffer exclusion, so the resume frame is admitted directly instead of being held in bufferWakeMessage while the root is idle. This covers the reported gap. The regression test described in the PR covers the changed run ID, child-owned background Bash, parent PONG coexistence, child routing, and final completion. The reported adapter test runs passed. I did not re-run them. The PR does not change the reviewed behavior for SendMessage resumes, which carry a different tool_use_id.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The product diff in ClaudeAdapterV2.ts has one purpose: admission of a native Claude self-resume task_started under its launch tool ID (#16610). The state reset block changed from a plain Ref.update to Ref.modify so it can return the match boolean. The reset itself still applies to any known non-running subagent, as on base. Only the admission decision depends on the tool ID match. The AI summary's statement that other known-subagent starts no longer reopen the task does not match the diff. The reset still runs for them and only admission differs. This wording mismatch does not change the verdict. The test file adds the matching regression. No option, persisted field, or public contract change is identified in the reviewed diff, and no unrelated provider or UI change is present.

Reopen the registry entry only when the launch tool_use_id matches.
The Ref.modify call reopens every known terminal subagent that receives task_started, including SendMessage resumes with a different tool_use_id. Although that path returns false, it still changes the registry entry to running, preserves the old runId, and makes background-work checks report active work.
If the wake buffer is cleared before the normal task_started branch runs, the registry remains running while the UI remains completed. Query-exit finalization can then mark the child as failed or cancelled.

Reviewed the registry finding against base and head with a fresh step agent. The registry reopen is unchanged from base: it previously used Ref.update with the same state transition for every known terminal task_started. This PR adds only the matching-launch-ID boolean for continuation admission. Mismatched IDs and SendMessage retain base behavior. The existing races-past-settle regression covers buffering a SendMessage resume until its notification. Restricting the registry mutation would change that separate path; the hypothetical buffer-clear/query-exit sequence is not an introduced regression.

Real Linux web app, Chromium, 1440×1000, light theme; fresh databases on both commits; real Claude Code 2.1.323 and Haiku 5.5. Launched a background child that returned WAITING after starting a 30-second background sleep, then self-resumed for four foreground 15-second sleeps. Inspected the original child and expanded command history, sent independent PONG requests, waited for DONE_SELF, and reloaded. Machine-name row is masked.

Problem
A native Claude background agent can return an interim
completed/WAITING, then resume itself while its parent is idle. T3 leaves its card and Lineage Completed and holds its new child-thread steps until the final notification. The exact reported background-sleep prompt reproduces this in the real web dev app and server.Change
Treat a registered terminal subagent's
task_startedunder its current launch tool ID as continuation evidence. The existing continuation path reopens the same child, keeps a run subscribed to its events, and persists subsequent steps live. Explicit SendMessage resumes retain their existing admission behavior.One adapter regression covers the real SDK frame order, child-owned background Bash, changed native run ID, parent user-turn coexistence, child routing and final completion. The committed scenario and composer seeder rebuild the same live SDK flow for evidence verification.
Scope and approval
Fixes https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/16610
Triaged bug via the automated issue flow; GitCafe mirror #16610. This changes only native Claude self-resume admission; it adds no option, persisted field or contract.
Verification
Merged current main f416175804 into the branch as 74c7c7722b.
vp run check:changedpassed: format, lint, knip, GraphQL, affected typechecks, and 209/209 adapter tests.git diff --checkpassed. The only conflict was Knip configuration; main’s general fixture entry covers the seeder, so this PR no longer changes Knip configuration. The adapter and regression auto-merged without overlapping changes.vp run check:changedpassed on b99b2daa5e: format, lint, knip, GraphQL, typecheck, and all 208 adapter tests. Check transcript.git diff --checkpassed.Main 22840ab943 was merged with a merge commit. The audited adapter and regression test are byte-identical to 1f20a8caa2; later fixture import cleanup preserves the exact emitted browser expression. Main’s existing fixture glob covers the directly invoked seeder.

At +52.3s send PONG request; assistant PONG persists at +53.8s while child remains Running. Open original child at +57s and expand running command group around +77s; resumed command rows appear live. DONE_SELF persists at +114.151s; reload the original child around +120s and verify final result survives. Return to parent at +126s. Exactly one persisted child and five completed commands (initial background sleep plus four resumed commands).

Evidence
Claude idle self-resume evidence
Before e54e71d725; after 1f20a8caa2. Fixture-only head d6a049d0bd.
Conditions and reproduction
Real web dev servers and live Claude Agent SDK, Claude Opus 5.5 Medium, fs-24 Linux, Chrome 154, no device emulation, DPR 2, zoom 1, default font scaling and loaded fonts. CSS viewports 1440×900 and 390×844, light and dark. Desktop PNG snapshots are tool-downsampled to 1280×800; desktop recordings preserve 2880×1800. Narrow snapshots and videos are 780×1688. Same exact synthetic prompt and cloned development data; clocks and provider-generated text are live, not frozen. No production projection seeding.
Run
node scripts/fixtures/issue-16610/seed.jsfrom the checked-out SHA and evaluate its output in a new isolated development draft with Claude Opus 5.5 Medium selected; submit normally. The committed scenario starts a background agent that launches a 30-second background Bash sleep, returns WAITING, resumes itself for four successive 15-second commands, then returns DONE_SELF. During resumed work sendReply with exactly PONG. Do not use tools.Open the original child and expand command history at successive milestones; return to parent and inspect Lineage, then final completion and reload.What else changed
Intended: resumed cards and Lineage return to Running, progress and child commands stream before DONE_SELF, an existing background continuation run appears and adopts the child. Both original and continuation activity cards may reference the same child; persisted child IDs remain unique. Final outcomes settle normally.
Incidental visible differences: generated thread titles, model prose, timestamps, elapsed durations, command descriptions, native IDs, sidebar thread order and ages, branch/ref and commit controls, VCS diff counts (+227/−19 and later fixture +26), scroll positions from different text lengths, expanded command groups/Previous agents, number of recorded assistant responses, and live working indicators. Narrow-dark after recording includes a reconnecting banner before the later persisted final still. No claim that nothing else changed or that the pixel deltas isolate only the fix.
Limitations
Narrow M2 and M4 tables use supplemental full-lifecycle recordings with Lineage open; these replace the initial chat-only stills. See supplemental narrated checkpoints below.
The initial desktop-dark parent still preceded resume and is excluded. A supplemental baseline recording and post-resume still at 20:16:40 replace M1/M2; its SDK resume was 20:16:18.226. M3/M4 use the original baseline run. The original narrow-dark recording reconnects before final settlement; the independent supplemental recording replaces that missing final checkpoint. Native mobile and Electron are not separately certified; changed code is the shared Claude server adapter. Other providers are unchanged.

Supplemental narrated checkpoints (supersede original narrow M2/M4 mappings)
Before narrow Lineage recording starts 20:25:37.672 UTC; submit at +4.637 s, SDK self-resume at +46.001 s. Inspect Lineage while the resumed child is active: dark M2 at +56 s and light M2 at +64 s, both still Completed/Previous agents. Final DONE_SELF arrives around +118 s; light final M4 at +193 s and dark final M4 at +201 s. Before SHA is e54e71d. These frames replace both narrow M2/M4 before columns; one recorded lifecycle includes the normal theme change.
Before narrow Lineage lifecycle recording
After supplemental narrow run uses the committed fixture at d6a049d (production code 1f20a8c). Both themes show one running child in Lineage, incremental commands in the original child, PONG while the child is active, then DONE_SELF and final Lineage; independent auditor supplies exact narration and recording below.
Independent rebuild, recording and narration
Complete second rebuild recording · sanitized SDK/persisted transcript · first rebuild recording

Continuation T3 run ordinal3 owns the resumed original child; PONG uses ordinal4; child final state remains on ordinal3. ChildThreadId and node identity are retained. Transcript contains exact IDs and updates.The first rebuild (root961aa070-3761-4022-8bfb-2e90e2e4957d, recording20:23:19.992–20:25:35.513) supplies the independently reproduced M3 still. It covers resumed Lineage, successive child commands, DONE and reload, but missed PONG during active work because of a failed navigation locator. The second rebuild supplies that missing step; neither run is mislabeled as having actions it did not show.
