[FIRE-1896] Copilot: send the subagent agent tag as headers, not body fields - #31
Conversation
A Copilot subagent's hook events carry no agent id, so the dispatcher
resolves the parent from ~/.copilot/session-state/<parent>/events.jsonl
and injects the tag itself. It did that with
jq -c '. + {agentId:$id,agentNameB64:$nb64}'
which re-serializes the entire vendor payload: whitespace compacted,
strings re-escaped, numbers reformatted through jq's double, all over
toolArgs, which is arbitrary tool input. jq ships with macOS 26, so that
was the common path and not a fallback, and it was the only place an
otherwise byte-for-byte body got rewritten.
The tag now rides as x-rogue-agent-id + x-rogue-agent-name-b64, the pair
plugins/antigravity already emits and the backend's shared
readAgentTagHeaders already reads (FIRE-1896, qualifire#1935). Deleted
augment_with_agent_tag (hook.sh) and Add-AgentTag (hook.ps1) with its
OutputEncoding dance, plus the jq-vs-concat byte-identity test that only
existed to police the duality. hook.sh builds curl's argument list with
set -- so the headers are conditional ARGUMENTS: -H "x-rogue-agent-id: "
and -H "x-rogue-agent-id:" mean empty-value and suppress-header to curl,
and neither is "do not send it". The ^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$ id gate and the
base64 name encoding move to the emit site unchanged.
Left alone: the sessionId re-attribution rewrite (an anchored sed on a
validated token, and event identity rather than attribution),
transcriptTailB64, the flush wait, the submap cache, every fail-open
rule, and the plugin version.
Backend compatibility: it reads headers first and keeps the legacy
agentId/agentNameB64 body fields as a permanent fallback, so installed
plugins keep working indefinitely.
Tests: the sh suite asserts the two headers instead of the body fields,
that both are absent on a main-agent and on an unresolved event, and the
new invariant this migration is for: on a re-attributed subagent
preToolUse the POSTed body differs from the vendor's stdin ONLY in
sessionId (the payload carries a >64-bit integer and a trailing-zero
float that a JSON round-trip would rewrite). The ps1 suite mirrors it at
source level, since the emit site sits in the dispatcher's main body,
which stands down off Windows.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win
The charset-gate regex cannot match, so these assertions fail.
Line 214 builds the pattern from a double-quoted string. The backtick escapes $ for PowerShell, so the resulting regex text starts with a bare $, which .NET treats as an end-of-string anchor. No input can have subagentId after end of string, so [regex]::Match never succeeds.
Two consequences follow:
- Line 215 and Line 217 fail.
$patstays empty, and an empty pattern matches every string, so the negative assertions on Lines 220-223 also fail.
Escape the $ for the regex engine, not only for PowerShell. Line 196 already does this correctly with a single-quoted '\$payload…' string.

The subagent agent tag moves from the body to the headers in this branch, so installs in the field need a new version to pull it. Bumped in both the plugin manifest and the Copilot marketplace entry; scripts/plugin-versions.sh reads the former for the versions.json attached to the release, so no other file changes.

Resolve the plugin version contract before merging.
plugins/copilot/scripts/install-id.sh reads plugin.json into ROGUE_INSTALL_VERSION, which the heartbeat and hook requests send as install identity metadata. The marketplace entry also requires the same version. If the release contract excludes a plugin version bump, restore 1.2.3 in both manifests. Otherwise, update the release contract and gate publication on the backend support for 1.2.4.

A plugin that emits the headers at a backend that does not read them yet loses subagent attribution silently: no error, no block, just untagged rows. The backend change is inert until this ships, so the ordering is free; the reverse is not.
What
Copilot's own hook events carry no agent id. The dispatcher resolves a subagent's parent from
~/.copilot/session-state/<parent>/events.jsonland injects the tag itself. Until now it did that in the body:jq -cre-emits the entire object: whitespace compacted, strings re-escaped, numbers reformatted through jq's double representation — overtoolArgs, which is arbitrary tool input. jq ships with macOS 26, so this was the common path, not a fallback, and it was the only place an otherwise byte-for-byte body got rewritten.The tag now travels as
