Problem

On OpenCode 1.x a background task call returns as soon as its subagent is launched. The 1.x adapter took the subagent's status from that call, so a subagent that was still working showed as completed within a second. The thread looked finished: no Waiting row, nothing running under Lineage, no Stop.

Change

The 1.x adapter keeps a launched subagent running until its child session goes idle, the way the OpenCode 2 adapter holds a background call until its report. The subagent ends as interrupted when the child is aborted or deleted, and as failed when the event stream is lost. Stop also ends a launched child that has not reported busy yet.

OpenCode sends the launch result about 1 ms before the child first reports busy, so the adapter also tracks child sessions that were created but have not started.

Server only: packages/provider-opencode/src/server/adapter.ts and its test. The clients already show a running subagent.

Scope

Bug fix. Fixes #36521.

Verification

A server from this change on its own T3 home, OpenCode 1.19.5, Claude Haiku 5.5, the web client in Chromium. One background task whose subagent runs sleep 45:

	6 s in	when the child ends
main 94aa3d7736	subagent completed, pendingBackgroundTasks: []; the child works 47 s more	no change
this change	subagent running, pendingBackgroundTasks lists it, the thread shows Waiting with Stop	subagent completed 48 s after it started, list empty

• Stop in the web client while it waits: the subagent is interrupted 0.1 s later, and the child's message ends with MessageAbortedError.
• A foreground task call still completes when the tool returns.
• Same result with the oh-my-openagent plugin's background task (5.1.69).
• adapter.test.ts: the three rows of "keeps a background task's subagent running until its child ..." fail on main with ['subagent running', 'subagent completed'] and pass here. Their frames follow the event order of the live run.
• The branch is based on 5f95653f25. Merged with main 2dd6cddbc3 it has no conflicts, the three tests still fail without the change, and the package's tests and vp run check:changed pass.

Not checked: the desktop and mobile clients, macOS and Windows, and a T3 Code server restart while a subagent is held.

Approvability

Verdict: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Background subagents remain visibly running until their child sessions stop, rather than appearing done at launch. Exposure is limited to lifecycle reporting; the early-error status finding remains subject to the separate correctness gate.

Walkthrough

The OpenCode adapter now keeps background subagents running after their task calls complete when child sessions are busy or have not yet reported busy. It settles these launches from child and root lifecycle events. Tests cover child completion, abort, pre-turn failure, and a task that does not start before the thread stops.

Changes: Background subagent lifecycle

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Track and retain background launches packages/provider-opencode/src/server/adapter.ts	The adapter tracks child sessions that have not reported busy. When a task part reports completion while its child is busy or unstarted, the adapter retains the task part and reports the subagent as running.
Settle launches and verify outcomes packages/provider-opencode/src/server/adapter.ts, packages/provider-opencode/src/server/adapter.test.ts	Child idle, deletion, errors, interruption, and event-stream failure settle retained launches. Tests cover child completion, abort, pre-turn failure, and a task that does not start before the thread stops.

Background subagents now stay visibly running until their child finishes. Some edge orderings can still show a resumed or already-failed child as completed, and children that have not started yet may not keep the session alive. Resolve these before merge or explicitly accept them.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: OpenCode 1.x background subagents no longer appear completed at launch. The raw summary shows the adapter now keeps launched subagents running until the child session settles, which matches the title. The title uses the conventional commit format from the template and is specific, though it is somewhat long at 81 characters.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. The Problem section explains the bug and expected behavior. The Change section explains the fix and why the server-only scope is sufficient. The Scope section is a bug fix and links issue #36521. The Verification section gives live test steps, observed results, a test list, and items not checked. The template's optional agent attribution line is present. Images are linked as external URLs. The description is complete and clear.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#36521] requires that OpenCode 1.x background subagents stay running while the child works, so the thread shows Waiting with Stop and Lineage shows a running subagent. The whole-PR diff of packages/provider-opencode/src/server/adapter.ts (merge base 9803d1a to head 197f784) implements this:

• A new launch field on OpenCodeSubagentContext holds the background task's ToolPart when the task call returns completed while the child is busy or unstarted (busySessionIds / unstartedSessionIds). While held, emitSubagent projects status running with completedAt null.
• settleLaunchedSubagents emits the terminal status when the child session goes idle (session.status idle and session.idle). The outcome comes from an explicit outcome, a recorded session error, or the last terminal turn status, and defaults to completed.
• session.deleted settles with interrupted. Root abort (interruptLaunchedSubagents) settles launched children as interrupted, covering Stop before the child reports busy.
• Event-stream loss settles launched children with failed.
• session.created with a parentID adds the child to unstartedSessionIds, covering the launch-before-busy ordering.
  The author reports live verification on OpenCode 1.19.5 and three adapter.test.ts cases that fail on main and pass on the branch. I did not read adapter.test.ts or rerun tests. The live results may come from an earlier head, because the merge base and branch base differ from the PR description. Foreground task behavior is unchanged: launch stays null unless the child is busy or unstarted.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All hunks in the whole-PR adapter.ts diff serve the background subagent lifecycle in #36521: the launch hold field, launch-time retention, child settlement on idle, delete, error, and stream loss, Stop-time interruption, and cleanup of the new tracking sets. The raw summary lists only adapter.ts and adapter.test.ts as changed, and the PR description says the clients are not changed. No unrelated behavior change appears. The test file was not read, so its contents are not separately assessed; its changes are expected to be test support for the same behavior.

Include unstarted launched children in the 1.x pending-work signal.

The 1.x runtime reports pending background work only for busy child sessions. A launched child that has not reported busy yet is still retained as running, but it does not pin idle release. Idle release can then close the provider scope. That closes the event stream and discards the closure-local launch state, so the retained subagent can stay running with no session to stop it.

Count unstarted children as pending work, consistent with the retention check at lines 1484-1485. The existing maxIdlePinMs bound still applies. The assertion at adapter.test.ts:1476 that expects false for starts=false must change with this edit.

Record child session errors that arrive before the first turn.

settleLaunchedSubagents derives a launched child's outcome from its last providerTurns entry. That map stays empty until the child's user message creates an active turn. The session.error handler finalizes only an active turn, so an error that arrives earlier leaves no outcome. The next idle event then settles the subagent as completed, whatever the error name, including MessageAbortedError.

This can occur if OpenCode emits a child session.error before the child's user message event. Events for a child session can arrive before its turn starts, so this order is possible.

Keep the terminal error for a child session when no turn is active. Make settleLaunchedSubagents use that stored outcome before it falls back to completed. Add this error-before-first-turn sequence to the existing lifecycle table in adapter.test.ts.

Track resumed background children until they report busy.

A task_id call resumes an existing child. Only newly created children enter unstartedSessionIds, so a resumed child is not tracked before it reports busy. If the background call completes before the resumed child reports busy, context.launch is cleared and the subagent reports completed. Its later busy event does not restore the running state or the Stop control.

Track a resumed child as pending launch, as a newly created child is tracked. Clear that marker on busy, idle, or deletion, as the existing paths do. Add a test where the resume's completed tool update precedes the child's busy event.

Keep a child's error outcome when it settles before the task completes.

When a child records an error and idles before the parent's completed task part is handled, settleLaunchedSubagents removes the recorded outcome at adapter.ts:1618. It emits nothing because context.launch is still null. When the completed task part arrives, the child is no longer in busySessionIds or unstartedSessionIds, so context.launch stays null. emitSubagent then reports completed for a child that failed.

Retain the terminal outcome on the subagent context when settlement finds no launch. Apply that outcome when the completed task part is processed. Clear the retained outcome when the child is launched again, so a resumed child does not inherit an earlier outcome.

Evidence

Run the supplied background-task prompt in two initially empty threads using OpenCode 1.19.5 and OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_BACKGROUND_SUBAGENTS=true. Record from launch; inspect after PARENT_OK while the child sleeps. Let the first child finish; repeat and press Stop during the second child's sleep. Both captures use separate fresh databases, matching synthetic data, Chromium at 1440×900, dark theme, and openai/gpt-6-luna. Neither sidebar contains an extra Failed thread.
