[StiensWout]

Pi delegates can save a different thinking level from their parent, but subagent metadata omitted it. The existing web hover and mobile Agents model lines now show the child's stated level.

Both clients share child-selection precedence and effort formatting. A saved app-owned child selection takes precedence over its own reported selection when the provider instance and known task model match; unknown effort stays absent, boolean thinking stays excluded, and known values survive a missing or stale catalog. Existing layouts and provider-fetch behavior are unchanged.

Validation: deterministic red/green tests cover Pi thinking, child selection and provider-instance fallback, boolean thinking, absent OpenCode variant, and stale catalog values. pnpm exec vp run check:changed passes. Local cubic found no issues.

Standard change: shared selection behavior and web/mobile consumers.

UI evidence: before, raw fallback after, catalog label and saved-child precedence, 390px web.

The before capture removes thinking from the shared list. Catalog/precedence captures use sanitized browser projection fixtures feeding the real mounted consumer: saved child High, reported Max, parent Max. They prove client rendering given projected data, not transport or provider discovery. Twelve additional public-helper runtime assertions cover instance/model rejection, catalog transition, ordering and mobile workflow catalog labels. Final proof audit found no remaining code gaps. Native mobile and packaged Electron rendering were not run.

Council review

Rounds: 2

Delegate	Round 1	Round 2
Claude Opus 5.5	9/10	9/10
GPT 6.1 Sol	8/10	9/10
Grok 4.7	9/10	9/10

Conflict repair validation

Merged main bb646d2cad into the reopened head 2a89dc8f62 in one merge commit, preserving all six PR commits, including the newer completed-child persistence and stale-variant fixes. The SQL resolution retains the child-selection LEFT JOIN and main's unary-plus ID-filter planning safeguard. No layout or collapsed-row fetch changes were added.

Node 26.13.0: pnpm exec vp run check:changed pingdotgg/main passed, including 156 tests across nine files, affected-package typechecks, formatting, lint, knip, GraphQL and React compiler checks. The focused projection/selection/effort suites passed 104/104. Node 24 lacked the upstream performance test's statement.stat API; Node 26 passes it. Local cubic found no issues; repository-specific context was unavailable with the GitCafe origin.

Added exact-ID, provider-native and mismatched-instance assertions to the existing settled-child projection test. Evidence separately removed the join, origin guard, instance guard and unary-plus safeguard; each produced the expected failure, and restored source passed. Reads cover exact IDs, full lists and snapshot windows. Main's primary-key query-plan assertion passes with the join retained. The final PR diff against newer main is byte-identical to the reviewed/evidenced diff against f991781872; the independent upstream markdown-link fix is preserved. Final proof audit found no gaps within this merge scope.

The existing web captures remain evidence for unchanged consumers. No new browser, transport, native mobile or packaged Electron proof is claimed. Latest-head hosted CI is pending; no repository-wide suite was run locally.

Delegate	Conflict repair	Guard assertions recheck	CI/model batch
Claude Opus 5.5	9/10	Production unchanged; score retained	9/10
GPT 6.1 Sol	9/10	Production unchanged; score retained	9/10
Grok 4.7	8/10	9/10	9/10

Grok's guard-coverage finding was addressed with tests only. No open blocker or should remains. Opus's hypothetical future-column ambiguity and provider-instance inconsistency nits were left as follow-ups because no currently reachable failure was identified. Grok 4.7 ran merge evidence; GPT 6.1 Sol ran the final proof audit in T3 Code.

CI and model-reuse repair

Test Server 2 failed three MCP toolkit integration cases because the PR qualified subagent_id with its table alias while the existing scoped-read assertion recognized only the unqualified spelling. The assertion now accepts either spelling and still rejects reads without the ID filter. Current main ddc4f57602 passed all three cases, the old PR head f795b41b90 failed all three, and the repair passed all three. The failed Check job only aggregated the server failure. Native fingerprint diff was cancelled during Vite+ setup before a comparison ran; this supplies no fingerprint verdict and required no code fix.

CodeRabbit's model-reuse finding is confirmed: follow-ups create a new task on the same child thread while older tasks retain their original model. Both the SQL overlay and shared client selector now reject a newer child selection whose model differs from the task's known model, preserving its recorded selection. Same-model child precedence, provider-native exclusion, instance guards and legacy null-model fallback remain intact. Existing server behavior-table rows and the client selector case were extended test-first; both failed before the guards and passed afterward.

Small repair: fewer than 40 production lines, no new state or UI flow. On Node 26.13.0, pnpm exec vp run check:changed f795b41b909ec1e66b055d891486dc395fef83fb passed format, lint, knip, GraphQL, nine affected-package typechecks, and 73 tests across four files. The three focused suites also passed 71/71. Node 24 lacks the existing SQLite performance test's statement.stat API; no product change was made for that local runtime mismatch. Local cubic reported one P3 fixture-event-ID nit and no production issue; repository context was unavailable with the GitCafe origin. The fixture-ID and optional cross-reference-comment nits were declined because they identify hypothetical future deduplication or documentation preferences rather than a current failure. The inherited SQL-text coupling remains a follow-up, not a new query-parser abstraction in this repair.

Scope disposition for CodeRabbit's inconclusive Issue Scope check: Paper A is implemented. The web Agents relationship hover in ThreadRelationshipsControl.tsx renders SubagentTooltipContent, which uses the shared selector and effort formatter. Mobile SubagentRow.tsx uses those same helpers in its Agents model metadata. RuntimeSubagent.effort intentionally remains null: Paper A did not request effort on collapsed web rows, a new collapsed-row fetch, or Paper B placement. No such expansion was added. Existing UI captures remain evidence for unchanged placement; this repair claims no new native, browser or packaged Electron rendering proof.

Grok 4.7 independently reproduced both model-mismatch failures by reverting only the production guards while retaining the new test rows, then restored the candidate and observed green. Restoring the original SQL alias assertion reproduced all three MCP failures; restoring the candidate passed 3/3. A temporary null-model delivered fixture passed the SQL legacy fallback, and removing only its IS NULL allowance made it fail. Restored source and fixtures were clean at 9d8689d574. Independent client tests passed 14/14, targeted projection behavior passed, and MCP tests passed 3/3. This supplies direct runtime proof for the server null-model branch noted by review without adding another committed test case.

All three council members scored the combined repair 9/10 with no blocker or should. The earlier alias-only review was superseded when the confirmed model finding joined this same batch (Sol 10/10, Opus 9/10, Grok cancelled). The separate proof audit is skipped for this small repair under the existing-PR workflow. Latest-head hosted CI remains pending; the dispatcher owns watches and merge disposition.

Created with GPT 6.1 Sol in the Codex harness, Claude Opus 5.5 in the Claude harness, and Grok 4.7 in the Grok harness through T3 Code. Sol completed evidence recovery after Grok's client fixture failed.

Closes #30442

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge, t3dotgg, spoukyii

Merge Risk: Low · up to d6693

Subagent effort labels can show the wrong reasoning level for an older task when a child thread is reused with the same model and a different thinking setting. The effect is limited to display metadata and does not affect execution, but it should be fixed before or soon after merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(client-runtime): Pi subagents show their thinking level" matches the main change. The diff adds a shared child-selection helper and effort formatting, so Pi children can show their stated thinking level in the web hover and mobile Agents metadata. It uses a conventional commit prefix and a plain-language summary. It is specific and does not include file lists or vague terms.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template in substance. It has a problem statement (subagent metadata omitted the child's thinking level), a change explanation (shared child-selection precedence and effort formatting in web and mobile), a scope note that links issue #30442 and states the bug-fix scope, and a verification section with specific tests, commands, and observed results. It also states what was not checked: native mobile and packaged Electron rendering. The template's section headings are not used literally, and the Problem and Scope sections are brief, but the required information is present. The description is long and includes some council-review and repair-history detail that is not part of the template.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#30442] The issue requires each Pi subagent row to show the child's known reasoning level beside its model, and to show nothing when the level is unknown. At head d669396, REASONING_EFFORT_OPTION_IDS in packages/client-runtime/src/state/threadExecution.ts includes thinking, so formatSubagentEffort resolves the Pi option id. formatSubagentEffort returns null when the selection, model slug, or stated effort is missing. This covers the unknown case. subagentModelSelection in packages/client-runtime/src/state/subagentRuntime.ts prefers an app-owned child's saved selection, then the reported selection. It accepts a candidate only when the provider instance matches. It also requires the model to match the subagent model, unless the subagent model is null. This change adds the model-reuse guard for follow-up tasks on the same child thread. SubagentTooltipContent.tsx (web hover) and SubagentRow.tsx (mobile Agents model metadata) use these helpers. Boolean thinking (Claude) is excluded because only string effort values are read. Server projection in Orchestrator.ts and ProjectionStore.ts supplies the child selection, with the same instance and model guards. Tests cover Pi thinking, precedence, provider-instance fallback, model-mismatch rejection, boolean exclusion, absent OpenCode variant, and stale catalog values. Residual uncertainty: RuntimeSubagent.effort remains null for collapsed rows and the Agents panel. The issue names the Agents panel and the timeline row. The PR states that collapsed web rows and Paper B placement are intentionally unchanged. This verdict rests on the hover and mobile model metadata surfaces, which the issue's Area and suggested label fix target. No new browser, native mobile, or packaged Electron rendering proof was reviewed for this head.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Each changed file connects to the issue or to the stated selection and formatting behavior. Client files (SubagentTooltipContent.tsx, SubagentRow.tsx, thread-workflow-opening.tsx, subagentRuntime.ts, threadExecution.ts, handoff.ts, modelTraits.ts) implement the label, selection, and guard logic. The origin provider_native addition in thread-workflow-opening.tsx supplies the input that subagentModelSelection requires. Handoff and modelTraits edits keep the composer reasoning ID set unchanged, because REASONING_DESCRIPTOR_IDS derives from REASONING_EFFORT_OPTION_IDS. Server files (Orchestrator.ts, ProjectionStore.ts) add child modelSelection to subagent records and apply the instance and model guards, which the client consumes. ProjectionStore.test.ts covers exact-ID, full-list, and snapshot-window reads. The OrchestratorMcpToolkit integration test change accepts the qualified subagent.subagent_id filter used by the child-selection join, and it still rejects reads without the ID filter. No layout or provider-fetch change appears in the summary.

Note

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

Verified in a real dev environment

reproduced the missing pi thinking label on github/main at 1c65ad032e, then ran the exact pr head and fixed two gaps. final head: 2a89dc8f626765efbe35f4d435d3e468c3a82e7f.

used the repo's playwright dependencies with /usr/bin/google-chrome, a real dev server, app-created projects and threads, and real codex gpt-6.1-sol parent turns calling delegate_task. pi used proxy/gpt-6.1-sol through this vm's local proxy. no mocked projections, fixtures, or demo data.

• pi children selected thinking: high. their hover shows High independently of the parent's Low, while running and after completion from a fresh client snapshot. pi's own session log records the real model change and thinkingLevel: high.
• found that completed children could lose their effort label when their shells left the client list. task creation now carries the selection, and snapshot reads recover the matching local child's saved selection. the screenshots show the same real child on main and the final head.
• codex children at low and high effort completed with CODEX_LOW_OK and CODEX_HIGH_OK; their hovers show Low and High respectively.
• fixed a nearby formatter regression where an explicitly saved opencode variant removed from the catalog displayed Unknown. the existing test table now retains its raw stated value.

runtime transcript excerpt from the running server's cli:

node apps/server/src/bin.ts thread show --base-dir .t3 --json <codex-low-child>
providerInstanceId: codex
model: gpt-6.1-sol
status: completed
assistant: CODEX_LOW_OK

blacksmith-check ran vp run check:changed against the pr's base: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck for 9 packages, 144 tests, and the react compiler checks passed. both added regression assertions were observed failing before their fixes. restarted the dev server and rechecked the saved metadata through a fresh browser session. uploaded video playback and seeking were checked in chrome.

Not verified

successful pi completion: real attempts reached the provider but failed upstream with http 503, http 429, or an incomplete empty response. the pi evidence proves selected thinking metadata through real delegation, not a successful model response.

native ios/android, packaged electron, remote multi-environment delegation, and a real opencode turn were not exercised on this linux vm. stale-variant behavior is covered by the focused runtime test rather than an opencode provider turn. an existing browser cache may need a fresh snapshot to pick up newly enriched historical metadata.

github reports a conflict against current main. no merge, rebase, force-push, or label changes were performed.

Preserve the saved selection across same-model follow-ups.

If a completed task saved thinking: high and a follow-up uses the same model with thinking: low, this overlay replaces the completed task's selection with low. The model guard does not distinguish these tasks. Completion-delivery updates can then persist the replacement through their full-row writes in Orchestrator.ts, Line 3229.

Keep an existing task selection. Use the child selection only when the task has no saved selection. Extend the existing regression case with a same-model, different-thinking follow-up.

Keep a stored subagent modelSelection when the overlay runs.

For an app_owned subagent whose provider instance matches and whose model is null or equal to the child's model, the overlay replaces the stored $.modelSelection. A reused child thread can therefore show another task's reasoning effort on an older task. The overlaid read is also the task that completion delivery writes back as the full payload_json, which persists the wrong value. The effect is limited to that subagent's stored selection and its displayed effort label.

Prefer the stored selection. Apply the overlay only when it is absent:

Suggested fix

           WHEN subagent.origin = 'app_owned'
             AND child.provider_instance_id = subagent.provider_instance_id
-            AND (json_extract(subagent.payload_json, '$.model') IS NULL
+            AND json_type(subagent.payload_json, '$.modelSelection') IS NULL
+            AND (json_extract(subagent.payload_json, '$.model') IS NULL
               OR json_extract(child.payload_json, '$.modelSelection.model')
                 = json_extract(subagent.payload_json, '$.model'))

Extend the existing guard table in apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.test.ts (lines 2414-2418). Add the uncovered case: app_owned, the matching provider instance, and the matching model. The stored thinking: low must survive the targeted, unfiltered, and windowed reads. Do not add a new it block or change SubagentProjection.test.ts.

   for (const [origin, instanceId, model] of [
     ["provider_native", providerInstanceId, modelSelection.model],
     ["app_owned", ProviderInstanceId.make("other-instance"), modelSelection.model],
     ["app_owned", providerInstanceId, "older-model"],
+    ["app_owned", providerInstanceId, modelSelection.model],
   ] as const) {

This case fails on the current code, because the overlay replaces the stored low with the child's high. It passes with the fix.

Extend the existing guard table in ProjectionStore.test.ts with the matching app_owned instance and model case, verifying stored thinking: low survives targeted, unfiltered, and windowed reads; do not add a separate test block or change SubagentProjection.test.ts.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the proof was not accepted:

• The diff changes the mobile Agents metadata render path (apps/mobile/src/features/threads/SubagentRow.tsx now uses subagentModelSelection; thread-workflow-opening.tsx adds origin), and the claim explicitly covers mobile Agents metadata, but no mobile capture exists; the capture step lists it as unverified.
• The diff changes the web SubagentTooltipContent effort for every provider: it switches from the raw stated option value to formatSubagentEffort (catalog-formatted labels), and the instanceId match moves into subagentModelSelection. Non-Pi subagent tooltips (Codex, Claude, etc.) may change their effort label, and no capture shows them.
• The expected behaviour 'unknown levels remain absent' and the stale or unavailable catalog fallback (formatSubagentEffort no longer requires a provider) were not exercised; both delegates explicitly selected High or Low.
• No after capture was rebuilt independently; the uploaded driver was not rerun because it needs two dev servers and real Pi delegate turns.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.
