fix(server): agents can see a thread's pending background work by fjooord · Pull Request #33858 · pingdotgg/t3code

fjooord · 2026-11-10T13:04:22Z

Problem

The sidebar shows a thread as Waiting, in the Working section, when its turn has ended but the thread still waits on background work. The two shell fields behind that label are blockedOnThreadWait and pendingBackgroundTasks (Sidebar.logic.ts, backgroundWorkHoldsCompletion). t3_thread_list and t3_thread_read return neither field.

So an outside agent sees status: "completed" for a thread that still waits on a background subagent, an awaited command or monitor, or another thread. It cannot tell that thread from one that finished and is waiting on the user. I hit this from a dashboard that reads threads over MCP. A lead thread and its delegated child both read completed in t3_thread_read, while the sidebar showed the lead as "Waiting 12m". The child had ended its turn and was waiting on its own background subagents. The dashboard showed the lead as needing the user while it was still working.

Change

List and read results now include blockedOnThreadWait and pendingBackgroundTasks, taken from the thread shell:

"blockedOnThreadWait": true,
"pendingBackgroundTasks": [
  { "taskId": "task-subagent", "kind": "subagent", "description": "Review the diff", "childThreadId": "thread:b-child" },
  { "taskId": "task-tests", "kind": "command", "awaited": true }
]

Each task carries taskId, kind, and description, awaited and childThreadId when the shell has them. parentTaskId and providerInstanceId stay out because they are provider-internal links an agent cannot act on. A thread with no background work returns false and []. Both fields are optional in the contract, so a newer environment still decodes results forwarded from an older linked environment. The MCP doc now says what the fields mean and when a command or monitor holds the thread.

Scope and approval

This is a very small, focused fix with no prior issue, following the same pattern as #32727 (pinned). The sidebar already uses this state, and agents could not see it. The change adds two read-only fields to two existing results. It adds no tool, input or filter and changes no behavior. I searched open PRs for these fields and for MCP thread status and found none that overlaps. If #32727 merges first, this branch has a one-line conflict next to threadSnooze in the server, the contract and the doc.

Verification

Extended the allProjects list test in OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts with one waiting thread and one plain thread. With the mapping removed it fails (expected [ [ undefined, undefined ], …(1) ] to deeply equal [ [ false, [] ], …(1) ]). With the change it passes.
Extended the successful readThread test in OrchestratorMcpService.activity.test.ts with a shell that has a pending subagent task and blockedOnThreadWait: true. With the mapping removed it fails (expected undefined to be true).
Added a case to orchestratorMcp.test.ts: a list item and a detail without the new fields still decode. With blockedOnThreadWait required it fails with SchemaError: Missing key.
vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck of 37 packages, and tests in 4 files (69 passed), on Node 26.12.1.
Not checked: I did not call the tools on a running dev server. The dev seed drops pending background work, and a real pending subagent needs a live provider turn. I did not run the mcp-tool-use eval because no tool description or input schema changed.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

t3_thread_list and t3_thread_read reported a thread as completed while it still waited on a subagent, an awaited command or monitor, or another thread, so an agent could not tell it from a thread that was done. The sidebar shows these threads as Waiting from the shell's blockedOnThreadWait and pendingBackgroundTasks. List and read results now carry both fields from the thread shell. Each task exposes taskId, kind, description, awaited, and a subagent's childThreadId, and leaves out provider-internal links. Both fields are optional in the contract, so results forwarded from older linked environments still decode. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at d372d3d

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — MCP thread list and read responses now expose pending background work so agents can distinguish waiting threads from finished ones. This is a backward-compatible, read-only addition that leaves thread execution and access scope unchanged.

Walkthrough

MCP thread list and detail results now report whether a thread is blocked on a thread wait and include summaries of pending background tasks. The contract fields are optional for compatibility with older linked environments.

Changes: MCP thread background work

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Background-work result contract `packages/contracts/src/orchestratorMcp.ts`	Thread list and detail schemas add optional `blockedOnThreadWait` and `pendingBackgroundTasks` fields. The new task schema defines task IDs, kinds, and optional task details.
MCP background-work projection `apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.ts`, `apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.activity.test.ts`, `docs/orchestration-v2/orchestrator-mcp-server.md`	The service projects wait state and pending task summaries into list and detail results. Tests check these fields, including which task details are exposed. Documentation describes when pending work holds a thread.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: t3dotgg, juliusmarminge

Merge Risk: Low · up to 23e41

The new fields work as described. Long task descriptions, such as full subagent prompts, can appear in thread-list results and use extra agent context. This is a small follow-up item and does not block the merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: agents calling the MCP tools can now see a thread's pending background work. It uses the conventional commit form and matches the changeset, which adds blockedOnThreadWait and pendingBackgroundTasks to thread list and read results.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. It explains the bug with a concrete reproduction, shows the new fields, justifies the change as a small fix that follows an existing pattern, and lists focused tests and checks. It also states what was not verified. The optional agent-model line is present. Scope includes a reasoned explanation for lacking a linked issue, which the template allows.

Bound descriptions in thread-list results.

A pending task description can contain a full command input or subagent prompt. The list returns up to 50 threads by default, so long descriptions can consume substantial agent context. Bound descriptions in list results and retain the full text in thread detail.

Suggested fix

const DEFAULT_THREAD_LIST_LIMIT = 50; +const THREAD_LIST_TASK_DESCRIPTION_MAX_CHARS = 500;

function threadBackgroundWork( thread: Pick<OrchestrationV2ThreadShell, "blockedOnThreadWait" | "pendingBackgroundTasks">, + maxDescriptionChars?: number, ): Required<Pick<OrchestratorMcpThreadListItem, "blockedOnThreadWait" | "pendingBackgroundTasks">> { return { blockedOnThreadWait: thread.blockedOnThreadWait === true, pendingBackgroundTasks: (thread.pendingBackgroundTasks ??

Note

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

Verified in a real dev environment

verified as-is at d372d3d027fd4a1570ffcbdf7ca540f592a21c5d on linux with real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns, isolated unseeded state, and a project pointing at a real git repository. drove the web client with the repository’s playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome; also used t3 thread show/list, which call the live mcp tools.

reproduced on github/main (9cd7a04797184c92a8f636ae1e918f42c139d850): a completed parent with a live async child shows “waiting” in the app, but both mcp results omit the background-work fields.
repeated on this exact head: list and read include the pending subagent’s task id, kind, description, and child thread id. provider-internal links are absent inside task entries. a real codex observer independently called both tools and confirmed the same values.
checked nearby transitions: a codex t3_thread_wait call produces blockedOnThreadWait: true in both results. after the child finishes, parent and observer return false and []; the sidebar leaves waiting. a follow-up typed and submitted through the web composer completes normally and confirms the cleared state through both tools.

67 focused tests passed in 3 files through blacksmith. inspected ci: 32 successful, 0 failing, 0 pending. no source changes, commits, or pushes were needed.

runtime command transcript

Not verified

native desktop, ios/android, other providers, awaited command/monitor variants, and forwarding from an older linked environment were not exercised live. this pass used the linux web client and codex path; the existing backward-compatibility contract test passed. no remote/relay or external service scenario was required for the exercised local flow.

…ground-work # Conflicts: # apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.activity.test.ts # apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts

The contract test only re-checked that Schema.optional accepts a missing field. The doc no longer says list status reads completed while work is pending, since main now reports it as waiting. AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Evidence

Start a parent agent, delegate an asynchronous child held at a release gate, and end the parent turn. Read and list the parent through real HTTP MCP. Release the child, wait for its completion to be handled, and repeat both calls.

Environment: Linux, separate real servers, fresh databases, synthetic data, identical deterministic ACP driver. Images are renderings of captured MCP output, not web screenshots.

Head exposes taskId, kind=subagent, and childThreadId while pending; after completion, both responses contain blockedOnThreadWait=false and pendingBackgroundTasks=[]. Read status remains completed while pending; list status is waiting on both commits.

Driver and reproduction instructions. AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

The web sidebar's Waiting indicator was not visually exercised; this proof covers the real server/MCP behavior.
blockedOnThreadWait=true was not exercised: asynchronous delegation returned false while its pendingBackgroundTasks array identified the child.
Native provider background commands, monitors, and remote-environment compatibility were not exercised.
