Addresses Greptile review comment: when !isNewSession, the spread already
copies all entry fields. The explicit entry?.field assignments were
redundant and could cause confusion. Simplified to only override the
core fields (sessionId, updatedAt, systemSent).
When a webhook or cron job provides a stable sessionKey, the session
should maintain conversation history across invocations. Previously,
resolveCronSession always generated a new sessionId and hardcoded
isNewSession: true, preventing any conversation continuity.
Changes:
- Check if existing entry has a valid sessionId
- Evaluate freshness using configured reset policy
- Reuse sessionId and set isNewSession: false when fresh
- Add forceNew parameter to override reuse behavior
- Spread existing entry to preserve conversation context
This enables persistent, stateful conversations for webhook-driven
agent endpoints when allowRequestSessionKey is configured.

When a cron job fires and completes within the same wall-clock second it
was scheduled for, the next-run computation could return undefined or the
same second, causing the scheduler to re-trigger the job hundreds of
times in a tight loop.
Two-layer fix:
1. computeJobNextRunAtMs: When computeNextRunAtMs returns undefined for a
cron-kind schedule (edge case where floored nowSecondMs matches the
schedule), retry with the ceiling (next second) as reference time.
This ensures we always get the next valid occurrence.
2. applyJobResult: Add MIN_REFIRE_GAP_MS (2s) safety net for cron-kind
jobs. After a successful run, nextRunAtMs is guaranteed to be at
least 2s in the future. This breaks any remaining spin-loop edge
cases without affecting normal daily/hourly schedules (where the
natural next run is hours/days away).
Fixes#17821
When an agent config specifies `model: { primary: "..." }` without
an explicit `fallbacks` array, the existing code replaced the entire
model object from `agents.defaults`—discarding the default fallbacks.
This caused cron jobs (and agent sessions) to have only one model
candidate (the pinned model) plus the global primary as a final
fallback, skipping all intermediate fallback models.
The fix merges the agent model override into the existing defaults
model object using spread, so that keys like `fallbacks` survive
when the agent only overrides `primary`. Agents can still explicitly
override or clear fallbacks by providing their own `fallbacks` array.
Reproduction scenario:
- `agents.defaults.model = { primary: "codex", fallbacks: ["opus", "flash", "deepseek"] }`
- Agent config: `model: { primary: "codex" }`
- Cron job pins: `model: "flash"`
- Before fix: fallback candidates = [flash, codex] (3 models lost)
- After fix: fallback candidates = [flash, opus, deepseek, ..., codex]
Addresses Greptile review feedback: locks in behavior when an agent
has skills: [] (explicit empty list), ensuring skillFilter: [] is
forwarded to buildWorkspaceSkillSnapshot to filter out all skills.
Isolated cron sessions called buildWorkspaceSkillSnapshot without
the skillFilter parameter, causing all skills to be included even
when an agent had a restricted skills list via agents.list[].skills.
Resolves the filter using resolveAgentSkillsFilter and passes it
through, aligning isolated cron with main session behavior.

* Agents: add subagent orchestration controls
* Agents: add subagent orchestration controls (WIP uncommitted changes)
* feat(subagents): add depth-based spawn gating for sub-sub-agents
* feat(subagents): tool policy, registry, and announce chain for nested agents
* feat(subagents): system prompt, docs, changelog for nested sub-agents
* fix(subagents): prevent model fallback override, show model during active runs, and block context overflow fallback
Bug 1: When a session has an explicit model override (e.g., gpt/openai-codex),
the fallback candidate logic in resolveFallbackCandidates silently appended the
global primary model (opus) as a backstop. On reinjection/steer with a transient
error, the session could fall back to opus which has a smaller context window
and crash. Fix: when storedModelOverride is set, pass fallbacksOverride ?? []
instead of undefined, preventing the implicit primary backstop.
Bug 2: Active subagents showed 'model n/a' in /subagents list because
resolveModelDisplay only read entry.model/modelProvider (populated after run
completes). Fix: fall back to modelOverride/providerOverride fields which are
populated at spawn time via sessions.patch.
Bug 3: Context overflow errors (prompt too long, context_length_exceeded) could
theoretically escape runEmbeddedPiAgent and be treated as failover candidates
in runWithModelFallback, causing a switch to a model with a smaller context
window. Fix: in runWithModelFallback, detect context overflow errors via
isLikelyContextOverflowError and rethrow them immediately instead of trying the
next model candidate.

* feat(subagents): implement active-first ordering for numeric targets and enhance task display
- Added a test to verify that subagents with numeric targets follow an active-first list ordering.
- Updated `resolveSubagentTarget` to sort subagent runs based on active status and recent activity.
- Enhanced task display in command responses to prevent truncation of long task descriptions.
- Introduced new utility functions for compacting task text and managing subagent run states.
* fix(subagents): show model for active runs via run record fallback
When the spawned model matches the agent's default model, the session
store's override fields are intentionally cleared (isDefault: true).
The model/modelProvider fields are only populated after the run
completes. This left active subagents showing 'model n/a'.
Fix: store the resolved model on SubagentRunRecord at registration
time, and use it as a fallback in both display paths (subagents tool
and /subagents command) when the session store entry has no model info.
Changes:
- SubagentRunRecord: add optional model field
- registerSubagentRun: accept and persist model param
- sessions-spawn-tool: pass resolvedModel to registerSubagentRun
- subagents-tool: pass run record model as fallback to resolveModelDisplay
- commands-subagents: pass run record model as fallback to resolveModelDisplay
* feat(chat): implement session key resolution and reset on sidebar navigation
- Added functions to resolve the main session key and reset chat state when switching sessions from the sidebar.
- Updated the `renderTab` function to handle session key changes when navigating to the chat tab.
- Introduced a test to verify that the session resets to "main" when opening chat from the sidebar navigation.
* fix: subagent timeout=0 passthrough and fallback prompt duplication
Bug 1: runTimeoutSeconds=0 now means 'no timeout' instead of applying 600s default
- sessions-spawn-tool: default to undefined (not 0) when neither timeout param
is provided; use != null check so explicit 0 passes through to gateway
- agent.ts: accept 0 as valid timeout (resolveAgentTimeoutMs already handles
0 → MAX_SAFE_TIMEOUT_MS)
Bug 2: model fallback no longer re-injects the original prompt as a duplicate
- agent.ts: track fallback attempt index; on retries use a short continuation
message instead of the full original prompt since the session file already
contains it from the first attempt
- Also skip re-sending images on fallback retries (already in session)
* feat(subagents): truncate long task descriptions in subagents command output
- Introduced a new utility function to format task previews, limiting their length to improve readability.
- Updated the command handler to use the new formatting function, ensuring task descriptions are truncated appropriately.
- Adjusted related tests to verify that long task descriptions are now truncated in the output.
* refactor(subagents): update subagent registry path resolution and improve command output formatting
- Replaced direct import of STATE_DIR with a utility function to resolve the state directory dynamically.
- Enhanced the formatting of command output for active and recent subagents, adding separators for better readability.
- Updated related tests to reflect changes in command output structure.
* fix(subagent): default sessions_spawn to no timeout when runTimeoutSeconds omitted
The previous fix (75a791106) correctly handled the case where
runTimeoutSeconds was explicitly set to 0 ("no timeout"). However,
when models omit the parameter entirely (which is common since the
schema marks it as optional), runTimeoutSeconds resolved to undefined.
undefined flowed through the chain as:
sessions_spawn → timeout: undefined (since undefined != null is false)
→ gateway agent handler → agentCommand opts.timeout: undefined
→ resolveAgentTimeoutMs({ overrideSeconds: undefined })
→ DEFAULT_AGENT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (600s = 10 minutes)
This caused subagents to be killed at exactly 10 minutes even though
the user's intent (via TOOLS.md) was for subagents to run without a
timeout.
Fix: default runTimeoutSeconds to 0 (no timeout) when neither
runTimeoutSeconds nor timeoutSeconds is provided by the caller.
Subagent spawns are long-running by design and should not inherit the
600s agent-command default timeout.
* fix(subagent): accept timeout=0 in agent-via-gateway path (second 600s default)
* fix: thread timeout override through getReplyFromConfig dispatch path
getReplyFromConfig called resolveAgentTimeoutMs({ cfg }) with no override,
always falling back to the config default (600s). Add timeoutOverrideSeconds
to GetReplyOptions and pass it through as overrideSeconds so callers of the
dispatch chain can specify a custom timeout (0 = no timeout).
This complements the existing timeout threading in agentCommand and the
cron isolated-agent runner, which already pass overrideSeconds correctly.
* feat(model-fallback): normalize OpenAI Codex model references and enhance fallback handling
- Added normalization for OpenAI Codex model references, specifically converting "gpt-5.3-codex" to "openai-codex" before execution.
