…nt-id

A Gemini subagent's own hook events are shape-identical to the main agent's: createBaseInput emits only session_id / transcript_path / cwd / hook_event_name / timestamp, and none of them names the delegation that is running. Its tool calls therefore persisted with no attribution at all, while only the delegation report carried a name.

Gemini's own transcript records do name it, and the rule is bookkeeping rather than timing: a delegation appears in the per-session subagent directory when it STARTS and in the parent transcript when it ENDS, so started-minus-finished is what is running. The remaining UUID is the subagent's session id, which is also the vendor agentId upstream stamps on the completed invoke_agent record, so it is a real per-instance id rather than a slug two concurrent runs would share.

No timestamp of any kind is read or compared. An earlier design selected the live delegation by mtime, which would have made correctness depend on filesystem timestamp resolution.

The POSTed body stays byte-for-byte the bytes read from stdin. The payload is parsed into a local for inspection only; everything derived travels as a header, and the tests assert body identity against the raw inbound bytes on every attribution case.

Sends only the id. The agent name is already inside the relayed bytes on the one event that has one, and the backend reads it from there.

Every failure path yields no header, never a wrong id: concurrent delegations, a missing directory, an unreadable or oversized parent, a delegation recorded without an agentId (matched by its prompt instead), or an id that would not be header-safe.

Walkthrough

The Gemini hook now attributes only eligible AfterTool invoke_agent events. It resolves unique delegation IDs, preserves relayed request bytes, conditionally adds x-rogue-agent-id, and validates the behavior through tests and CI.

Changes

Gemini subagent attribution and relay

Layer / File(s) Summary
Subagent resolution and validation
plugins/gemini/scripts/hook.mjs
Attribution applies only to completed AfterTool invoke_agent events. Prompt fallback ignores records with known IDs and rejects missing or ambiguous matches.
Byte-preserving request relay
plugins/gemini/scripts/hook.mjs
The hook parses payloads locally while preserving the original request bytes. It adds x-rogue-agent-id only for validated IDs and includes the token in logs.
Contract validation and release wiring
tests/test_hook_mjs.mjs, .github/workflows/validate.yml, plugins/gemini/gemini-extension.json
Tests cover event filtering, concurrent and completed delegations, malformed inputs, repeated prompts, raw-byte preservation, and CI execution. The extension version changes to 1.0.28.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 551b8

Gemini delegation reports gain conservative subagent attribution while preserving request bytes and omitting attribution when resolution is unsafe or ambiguous. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

A rabbit checks each event,
Unique IDs hop into place,
Raw bytes follow the trail,
Quiet tools stay untagged,
Tests guard the relay.

292-297: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Restrict the prompt fallback to records that carry no agentId.

delegatedPrompts collects prompts from every invoke_agent record, including records that already carry agentId. Those delegations are retired by the substring test at line 366, so their prompts add no information. They can only remove a candidate: if the same agent is invoked twice with the same prompt, the finished run's prompt matches the live run's file, live becomes empty, and no header is sent.

The fallback exists only for records recorded without agentId. Collecting just those prompts keeps the fallback and removes the collision.

♻️ Proposed narrowing
     for (const call of record?.toolCalls ?? []) {
       const prompt = call?.args?.prompt;
-      if (call?.name === "invoke_agent" && typeof prompt === "string" && prompt) {
+      // Records WITH an agentId are already retired by the substring test, and
+      // a reused prompt would then suppress a genuinely live delegation.
+      if (
+        call?.name === "invoke_agent" &&
+        !call?.agentId &&
+        typeof prompt === "string" &&
+        prompt
+      ) {
         out.push(JSON.stringify(prompt).slice(1, -1));
       }

The running subagent is resolved and sent as x-rogue-agent-id in this branch, so
installs in the field need a new version to pull it. gemini-extension.json is the
only version file for this plugin - there is no Gemini marketplace manifest - and
scripts/plugin-versions.sh reads it for the release versions.json.

…vent

The live set — subagent files present minus delegations the parent records
as finished — says which delegations are UNFINISHED. It was being read as
which agent fired the event, and those are not the same thing, because the
main agent keeps running tools inside that window:

- invoke_agent is parallelizable, and the scheduler executes a maximal run
  of parallelizable calls together. A batch of [invoke_agent, shell] runs
  the shell alongside the delegation, and the shell's AfterTool fires while
  the delegation is live.
- The parent's completion record, the only "finished" marker, is written
  once per MODEL RESPONSE after the whole scheduler run resolves, not once
  per batch. A response whose calls split into several batches (any edit
  tool forces a split) leaves the delegation live for every later batch,
  BeforeTool included.

Either one hands a main-agent run_shell_command or replace the subagent's
UUID — a false attribution in an audit trail, which is the one outcome this
design said it would never produce. The header's "ONE ASSUMPTION" (that the
completion record lands before the main agent's next tool hook) held for the
subagent's own loop, which records per turn, and not for the main agent's.

Nothing in the payload separates the two: LocalAgentExecutor hands the
subagent the parent's Config and geminiClient, so createBaseInput reads
session_id and transcript_path off the PARENT for a subagent's tool hook.
A subagent's BeforeTool and the main agent's are byte-comparable. So the
tag is now sent on `AfterTool invoke_agent` alone — a delegation event by
its tool_name, which no main-agent tool call can wear. Per-tool attribution
needs a signal upstream does not emit; it cannot be inferred here.

Also: delegatedPrompts now collects only records that LACK an agentId. A
record that has one is already resolved by the substring test on the id, so
its prompt added nothing to `finished` and only widened what the prompt
fallback matched — rerun a prompt and the OLD completed record marked the
NEW live delegation finished, dropping the header for a delegation plainly
running. What remains is a prompt whose delegation errored/cancelled, the
one case with no id to match. Identical reruns there still fail open to no
header, which is the safe direction and is now stated as such.

Both are regression-tested, and both new tests fail against the previous
hook.mjs. Citations re-verified against Gemini CLI 0.58.0.

tests/test_hook_mjs.mjs was never run by CI — the file existed and nothing
invoked it — so validate.yml now runs it, on the node 20 the job already
pins. Its server also recorded ANY inbound request as the event POST, so
the log shipper's /hooks/logs POST could overwrite the event under load and
fail the byte-identity assert; it now records the event endpoint only.

Do we expect JSON parsing errors? If so, maybe we better log them out?
