The proof run was right: on 67c5386 the CLI still returned the interim reply. I reproduced it on an isolated dev server (T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0, scratch git project, Claude, the issue's prompt), sampling the runs table and provider-thread pendingBackgroundTasks every 0.5 s. The awaited sleep 45 task left pendingBackgroundTasks at about 02:46:50, the CLI returned at 02:46:50.43 with run 1's interim reply, and wake run 2 first appeared at 02:46:50.55. Cause: the Claude adapter clears the task when its task_notification arrives, but records the wake run only once the native wake turn begins. The server's untilDelegatedWorkSettled wait (delegatedTaskProgress) settles in that gap with the CLI's own run as resultRun. Subagents bridge the same gap with completionDelivery pending/claimed; background commands have nothing like it. Fix, CLI only: in phase 2 of waitForRun, when work outlived the CLI's run (a flagged slice timed out) and the wait then settles with no run after its own, the CLI checks for a later run every 500 ms for up to 10 s. It resumes the flagged wait once one appears, and returns its own run if a sent run appears or the 10 s pass. If the read after a settle already shows a later run that is still active, it resumes the flagged wait straight away. runsAfter now returns the later runs with their status for that check. Waits with no background work never reach this path and are not slowed. Earlier rounds' behaviour is unchanged: phase 1 is main's run-only wait, wakes are followed only for start and for send to an idle thread, and runs other clients send are excluded. After the fix, the CLI from this branch against the same server returned in 52.0 s (start, run 2, reply DONE) and 50.0 s (send to the same thread, run 4, reply DONE). No new regex or parser.

Fixes #34688

Reproduction on main

On origin/main a21b43f, started an isolated dev server (T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev, fresh worktree .t3), added a scratch git project with t3 project add, then from that project ran node apps/server/src/bin.ts thread start . "Run sleep 45 in the background (run_in_background), call t3_background_wait on its task ID, and end your turn. When it finishes, reply DONE." --provider claudeAgent --model <cheapest Claude model> --wait --json --base-dir <worktree>/.t3. The CLI exited 0 after 9 s, at 02:00:34, printing status completed and run 1's interim reply ('...registered it with t3_background_wait. I'm ending my turn now. When the task finishes I'll reply DONE.'). The database then showed a background_command 'completed' notification starting run 2 at 02:01:15, and run 2 replied 'DONE' at 02:01:19, after the CLI had returned. A first attempt was not counted because a dev-server restart from a file edit interrupted that thread's background work.

Evidence

On fresh isolated servers, seed READY, then run the supplied background-sleep prompt through both thread start --wait --json and thread send --wait --json. Record continuously through the later DONE replies. Real CLI/provider; synthetic data; identical driver and monitor settings.

Exact driver · Complete evidence bundle · Reproduction instructions and attempt accounting

Both final recordings were visually inspected. Final stills passed identical-image checks 500ms apart. The bundle retains the initial capture pair, whose monitor layout clipped some text, and its original driver; the final pair was rerun on fresh databases with only the monitor layout corrected. The separately uploaded final driver is byte-identical to the bundled copy. No recorded attempt was omitted. The earlier 182-second READY stall did not reproduce.

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

Not shown:

• The previous submission's 182-second seed stall was not reproduced; these fresh-state captures do not establish its cause or exclude a state-dependent stall.
• Failed or interrupted wake-run exit codes and pending-question exits were not exercised; captures focus on the supplied successful-background reproduction.
• Concurrent sends, restart continuations, and delegated-child chains were not exercised.

Tests

Real reproduction on an isolated dev server with Claude, CLI from source: before the fix, start --wait returned in 51.6 s with run 1's interim reply, and wake run 2 appeared about 0.1 s later. After the fix, start --wait returned in 52.0 s with run 2 / DONE, and send --wait returned in 50.0 s with run 4 / DONE. cd apps/server && vp test run src/cli/thread.test.ts: 13 passed; the new gap test fails with thread.ts reverted to 67c5386 (1 failed, 12 passed). vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip 1/2 and 2/2, graphql, typecheck (3 packages) and test (2 files) all pass.

Not in this change

• The needs_input recheck uses a 1 ms slice that also carries the flag. If the run ended but background work is still running when a later run raises a pending request, --wait reports needs_input. That matches what the thread is actually waiting on, so I left it unchanged.
• When a wake run of the CLI's own background work and a later sent run both finish before the wait settles, the CLI reports its own run, as main does, rather than the wake run's answer. Telling them apart would need run-to-message links that t3_thread_read does not expose.
• If the CLI's run is no longer among the thread's 50 most recent runs, sentRunAfter treats it as superseded and reports its own run, as main does.
• No command-level test covers the one-line followWakes decision in thread send (the idle check before sending); the CLI has no harness for driving the send command against scripted tools.
• Phase 2 has no overall deadline, like main's run-only wait; it ends when the woken runs settle, a sent run appears after the CLI's run, or a woken run asks a question.
• There is a small race between the idle check and the send: work another client starts in between counts as this send's. Scoping the settle to work started at or after the waited run would need a server change.
• The underlying gap is server-side: the Claude adapter drops an awaited background task before it records the run that task wakes, so untilDelegatedWorkSettled can settle early for any caller (RemoteDelegation's follower too). A server bridge like subagents' completionDelivery would remove the need for the CLI's 10 s grace; that is a provider-adapter change.
• If a background task ends before the first flagged wait slice and its wake run is still unrecorded at that moment, the grace path does not run (no slice timed out), and the CLI reports its own run as on main.
• The 10 s grace and 500 ms interval are judgement calls; a provider that takes longer than 10 s to begin its wake turn would still get its own run reported.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The CLI now follows background-work wake runs when using --wait. An unresolved concurrency concern could make it print another request’s reply or exit status; completion ownership needs resolution before merging.

Walkthrough

The CLI can wait for delegated work after the original run completes and follow a later run when it contains no user message. The start command enables this behavior. The send command enables it only if the thread was idle before sending.

Changes: CLI delegated-work waiting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Wait and wake-run selection apps/server/src/cli/thread.ts, apps/server/src/cli/thread.test.ts	waitForRun can wait for delegated work and follow a later run when no later run contains a user message. A pending request during the follow-up returns needs_input. Tests cover the wake-run wait, the delay before a wake run appears, and retaining the original result when a later run contains a user message.
Start and send command behavior apps/server/src/cli/thread.ts	The start command enables wake following. When --wait is set, the send command checks whether the thread is idle and enables wake following only if it was idle.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 5819d

The new wake-following wait can still return the original run's result before the background-triggered reply arrives. This happens when delegated work finishes within the first wait slice, before the wake run is recorded. A concurrent send from another client can also make the CLI print the wrong run's result. Resolve the wake-recording gap before merging; the other concerns are smaller edge cases.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main behavior change: thread --wait now returns once the background work the agent waits on has ended. It follows the conventional commit format and matches the changeset, which adds a followWakes phase to waitForRun for the start and send --wait paths. It is somewhat long at 81 characters, but it is specific and clear.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff against merge base a21b43f changes apps/server/src/cli/thread.ts. The changes implement #34688: threadIsIdle (the 1 ms flagged t3_thread_wait idle check for thread send), runsAfter (ordinal and user_message checks), WAKE_GRACE_MS/WAKE_POLL_MS wake-recording poll, TERMINAL_RUN_STATUSES, the followWakes parameter on waitForRun and finishRun, and the followWakes values set by thread start and thread send. The test file apps/server/src/cli/thread.test.ts is reported to carry added wake tests only. No unrelated behavior change appears in the reviewed thread.ts diff. The test-file diff was not inspected in this review; the PR description and prior assessment support its scope.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the problem (CLI --wait returns an interim reply before the wake run finishes), links the issue #34688, and explains the cause and the fix in the Problem/Change sense. It includes a detailed reproduction on main, before/after timing evidence with recordings, and a list of tests run (thread.test.ts 13 passed, a new gap test that fails on the reverted code, and check:changed passing). It also has a Scope and approval-style reference to the linked issue, but it does not cite a maintainer approval comment or explicitly explain the scope approval as the template requests. The template's section headings are not used literally: the description has no '## Problem' or '## Change' headings and the Scope and approval section is missing. The content for those topics is present in prose, so the description is mostly complete. The one gap is the Scope and approval requirement, which is only partly addressed (issue linked, but no triage or maintainer approval reference). The Verification section is thorough. The agent/model attribution line is given as 'AI-assisted' without naming the model and harness, which the template asks for.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #34688 requires: (1) --wait waits for background work and the run it wakes, then prints and exits with that run's result; (2) t3 thread send --wait behaves the same way; (3) the 15 s pending-request check still exits 2 for a question asked in a wake run; (4) the --wait help text describes waiting for background work.

Met at head 5819dda: waitForRun (apps/server/src/cli/thread.ts) runs phase 1 as the existing run-only wait. With followWakes, phase 2 calls t3_thread_wait with untilDelegatedWorkSettled: true, accepts resultRun only when it comes after the CLI's own run and no later run holds a user_message, and returns needs_input when pendingRequestCount > 0 after the wait. The 15 s WAIT_SLICE_MS check remains in phase 1. thread start --wait passes followWakes: true (requirement 1 and 3 are supported by code).

Not met: (a) The diff for apps/server/src/cli/thread.ts does not change any --wait help text, so requirement (4) is unmet. (b) thread send --wait passes followWakes only when threadIsIdle is true. For a thread with active delegated or background work, send returns after its own run. This does not match requirement (2). The PR documents this narrowing, but the issue does not request it.

Resolution

(a) Update the --wait help text for thread start and thread send to state that the command also waits for background work the agent waits on. (b) Either make thread send --wait follow wakes in all cases, or obtain the issue owner's agreement to the idle-only narrowing and state that narrowing in the help text as well.

Move later-run classification into the thread service.

The new runsAfter operation makes the CLI fetch runs, page through messages, and decide which run owns the final answer. ThreadManagementService already owns thread waiting, while the MCP service exposes its result. Put this new domain decision on that service boundary rather than in the transport. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

As per coding guidelines, “A transport handler does three things: decode the request, call one service method, and map the service's typed errors to the transport's error. Nothing else.” As per path instructions, “multi-step dispatch and other domain work belong in the service.”

Do not treat an evicted own run as a later user send.

If 50 later runs occur before delegated work settles, t3_thread_read omits finalRunId: its runLimit has a maximum of 50. Line 534 then sets sent: true, so --wait returns the original reply and status instead of the completed wake run’s result. A larger runLimit cannot fix this because the MCP input caps it at 50.

Avoid reading the complete timeline on each follow-up check.

When a later run exists, runsAfter calls readTimeline from the first item. That helper pages through every message, and the server builds a timeline index for each page. A long thread with delegated work can repeat this scan after every 15-second wait slice. Query only messages associated with runs after finalRunId, or move that classification to the service.

Make the idle decision atomic with the send.

If this check reports idle, another client can start a run and leave delegated work pending before t3_thread_send commits this CLI’s message. After the CLI’s own run completes, the other client’s work can create a later notification-only wake run. waitForRun then accepts that wake run as this CLI’s result and prints the wrong reply or exit status. The server’s delegated-work result is thread-wide, so checking sent.delivery alone does not close the gap. Have the send-side service return an idle-at-send decision or identify work owned by the sent run. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Handle the wake-recording gap without requiring a timeout.

If delegated work finishes within the first 15-second wait slice, workOutlivedRun remains false. If the wake run is not recorded yet, Line 623 returns the original result without entering wakeRunRecorded. The command can therefore exit before the wake reply or failure arrives.

Handle this settlement gap even when no wait slice timed out. Extend the delayed-wake test in apps/server/src/cli/thread.test.ts, Lines 276-286, with a case that omits the forced timeout.

Review comment at @apps/server/src/cli/thread.ts at line 623:
Update the flow around workOutlivedRun so delegated work settling before wakeRunRecorded is recorded still waits for the wake reply or failure, even when no wait slice timed out. Extend the delayed-wake test to cover this no-timeout case.
