Summary

  • persist one-hop delegation tasks while a target bot is busy
  • retain source-run identity and deterministic task identifiers across retry and restart
  • bound retry count and age, wake on target availability, and emit terminal receipts
  • contain drain failures and preserve redacted visibility/inspector state

Verification

  • 62 focused delegation, proxy, lifecycle, thread-event, and inspector tests pass
  • the failed-provider channel-link regression passes in isolation and in the 53-test delegation/comms set
  • the exact Node 24 fleet gate passes frozen install, TypeScript typecheck, the repository test floor, and Electron syntax checks
  • exact head: 2cd0bf3d06f525282e14bc02a270a31b9cb516be

Closes #449.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added durable delegation tracking with queued, completed, failed, duplicate, and retry outcomes.
    • Added delegation status events with task identifiers, target details, reasons, and retry counts.
    • Delegations to busy targets now wait and retry after the active turn completes.
    • Added crash recovery and retention for delegation outcomes across restarts.
    • Runtime inspection now displays delegation status, task IDs, and failure reasons.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved validation and reporting for invalid, expired, duplicate, or unsuccessful delegation requests.
    • Prevented repeated execution of already completed delegation tasks.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR replaces transient delegation handling with a durable, idempotent queue. It adds source-run validation, structured outcomes, retries, terminal receipts, busy-target wakeups, lifecycle runtime events, and redacted inspector summaries.

Changes

Delegation lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Queue contracts and persistence
server/delegations.ts, server/delegations.test.ts
Delegations now use stable task IDs, structured results, durable pending records, terminal receipts, schema migration, validation, bounded retention, and source-run deduplication.
Dispatch, retry, and API integration
server/delegations.ts, server/index.ts, server/drivers/agents-proxy.ts, server/drivers/agents-proxy.test.ts, server/delegations.test.ts
Dispatch handles busy targets, retries, expiry, provider failures, source-turn failures, and reload recovery. Endpoints and agent proxies propagate validated source-run IDs and return structured outcomes.
Delegation status telemetry and inspection
server/comms-visibility.ts, server/contracts.ts, server/index.ts, server/thread-events.ts, server/thread-events.test.ts, src/lib/inspector.ts, src/lib/inspector.test.ts
The system publishes and validates delegation.status events. The inspector shows state, abbreviated task IDs, and optional reasons without task content.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 2cd0b

If a provider dispatch remains pending, a delegated task can stay stuck and block queued work while keeping its target unavailable. The merge should wait for a settlement guard that reliably clears the dispatch state.

Add a settlement guard for a provider dispatch that never completes.

When sendTurn remains pending, runDelegatedTurn receives no callback. TurnWatchdog.onStall interrupts the turn and records the failure, but it does not settle this promise. The delegation remains dispatching, which blocks the source drain and retains the target in activeTargets. Bound the wait and clear the deadline in finish.

Owner

Closing in favor of the delegation ledger that just landed in #566 — the maintainer asked for one implementation built directly on main's existing queue rather than parallel tracks, and #566 now covers this PR's ground (durable queued delegations with deterministic task ids, bounded busy retries with wake-on-target-availability, terminal receipts, crash recovery) plus the read-back half (check_delegation / wait_delegation over durable receipts). Real credit where due: this PR's shape — persist the task, keep identity across restart, bound the retries, emit terminal receipts — is exactly the design #566 implements; thank you for pushing it forward and for #449's careful scoping.
