Problem

Scheduled runs could select models before catalogs finished loading or continue after cancellation. Background shells and subagents could disappear, retain stale indicators, or show incorrect status after reconnecting.

Fix

  • Await configured models with bounded requests and consistent fallback.
  • Coordinate startup and monitoring cancellation, retries, and cleanup.
  • Keep background tasks visible and update their terminal status.
  • Reconcile reconnects and prevent stale responses from overwriting live state.

Testing

  • 120 focused backend tests passed.
  • 197 focused frontend tests passed; additional remount regression passed.
  • Backend and frontend typechecks passed.
  • Full lint passed with 40 existing warnings.
  • Broader frontend run reported a theme-test import failure.
  • Live browser and deployed schedule verification remain pending.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Background work now shows lifecycle-aware status for shell tasks and subagents. Shell output and termination controls remain available, and subagent tasks can be opened from the task list.
    • Scheduled runs select a model using the schedule override, configured model, OpenCode default, then the first enabled model. Model loading can take up to 15 seconds, and fallback may use another provider.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Cancelling a scheduled run during startup stops further setup and prompt submission; sessions created during cancellation are interrupted when appropriate.
    • Background task status reconciles after reconnects, and directory-less session events use previously observed session information. Killed shell tasks retain their status after reload.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add polling and cancellation support to scheduled-run model resolution, coordinate cancellation across schedule setup and monitoring, and introduce lifecycle tracking for background shells and subagents in the frontend. They also route directory-less session events using remembered directories and update the dialog header’s minimum-width class.

Changes

Model Resolution and Schedule Run Cancellation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Poll and resolve available OpenCode models
backend/src/services/opencode-models.ts, backend/test/services/opencode-models.test.ts, docs/features/schedules.md, shared/src/opencode/modelRef.ts, shared/src/opencode/index.ts, frontend/src/api/providers.ts
Model resolution reads the configured model and polls the catalog and default-model endpoints for up to 15 seconds. It applies preferred, configured, default, and enabled-model fallback order, and supports abort signals. Tests cover polling, fallback, timeouts, and errors.
Track active runs and coordinate cancellation
backend/src/services/schedules.ts, backend/test/services/schedules.test.ts, docs/features/schedules.md
Schedule runs track their run ID and abort controller. Cancellation coordinates setup, model resolution, session creation, prompt submission, monitoring, and cleanup. Tests cover startup races, pending and duplicate cancellation, late monitor results, and finalization errors.
Resolve directories for session events
backend/src/services/sse-aggregator.ts, backend/test/services/sse-aggregator.test.ts, backend/test/services/schedules.test.ts
The SSE aggregator remembers session directories and uses them for directory-scoped handling of directory-less events. It broadcasts those events with a null directory envelope. Tests cover directory routing and a directory-less schedule completion event.

Background Shell and Subagent Lifecycles

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track child-session status and outcomes
frontend/src/stores/sessionStatusStore.ts, frontend/src/stores/sessionStatusStore.test.ts, frontend/src/lib/queryInvalidation.ts, frontend/src/hooks/useOpenCode.ts, frontend/src/hooks/useOpenCode.test.tsx, frontend/src/contexts/EventContext.tsx, frontend/src/contexts/EventContext.test.tsx
The session-status store tracks known sessions and outcomes and applies child-session snapshots. Event handling updates outcomes and invalidates reconciliation queries on reconnect and resync. Tests cover snapshots, outcomes, and invalidation.
Reconcile shell records and lifecycle events
frontend/src/lib/backgroundWork.ts, frontend/src/lib/backgroundWork.test.ts, frontend/src/hooks/useSessionShells.ts, frontend/src/hooks/useSessionShells.test.tsx, frontend/src/hooks/useSSE.ts, frontend/src/hooks/useSSE.test.tsx
Shell records retain terminal states and capture exit and deletion events. Shell queries reconcile fetched data with cached records, and SSE handlers update or invalidate the shell cache. Tests cover stale fetches and lifecycle events.
Display background shells and subagents
frontend/src/components/message/MessagePart.tsx, frontend/src/components/message/MessageThread.tsx, frontend/src/components/message/MessageThread.test.tsx, frontend/src/components/message/ToolCallPart.tsx, frontend/src/components/message/ToolCallPart.test.tsx, frontend/src/components/session/BackgroundTaskStatusIcon.tsx, frontend/src/components/session/BackgroundWorkBar.tsx, frontend/src/components/session/BackgroundWorkBar.test.tsx, frontend/src/pages/SessionDetail.tsx, docs/features/chat.md
Message and session components display lifecycle-aware shell and subagent tasks. Shell tasks expose output and termination controls; subagent tasks can navigate to child sessions. The chat documentation describes task statuses and actions.

Dialog Header Layout

Layer / File(s) Summary
Constrain dialog header width
frontend/src/components/ui/dialog.tsx, frontend/src/components/ui/dialog.test.tsx
DialogHeader adds min-w-0 to its default classes. A test checks the class with a long truncated title.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to deab1

Reconnect can briefly replay a status for a deleted active session. This is a bounded issue to fix or explicitly accept before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to deab1

Background tasks can disappear from the task list when they complete, fail, or are stopped, limiting visibility into work that may use tools. The cancellation changes add safeguards, but the access checks for linked child sessions could not be confirmed.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · observed: The new task-list contract drops completed, failed, killed, interrupted, and unavailable tasks before rendering their status. Operators therefore lose the list entry through which they could inspect a background task's outcome, including for newly tracked child sessions.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The established visibility gap affects background shell and child-session outcomes in the viewed session. The inspected filter does not itself grant tool execution or establish cross-repository access.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Child IDs collected from assistant tool metadata are used in an ID-only session lookup. Neither that client call nor the inspected interface proves that a requested child belongs to the current parent session or repository; server enforcement remains unknown.
  • observed — The aggregator's global null-directory broadcast for directory-less events predates this PR. The changed path adds directory-scoped notification when a session directory is known, rather than newly introducing that broadcast.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — A cancelled startup with a newly created session attempts interruption and worktree teardown; prompt submission checks the cancellation decision around its asynchronous stages.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Preserve terminal tasks in the task list long enough to expose their outcome, rather than using the running-state predicate as the list-retention rule.
  • proposed — Confirm that session lookup, child-session navigation, and shell removal enforce repository and session ownership on the server independently of IDs and directories supplied by the client.

Module-level shellExitRecords grows without bound.

recordShellExit and recordShellDeleted add an entry for every exited or deleted shell. Production code never calls clearShellExitRecord. Only the tests call it. In a long-lived tab, the map keeps an entry for every shell that ever ran. The records are only needed until the next list fetch or the next shell.created event. After that event, the list cache is the source of truth. Delete the record after reconcileShellList or upsertShell applies it, or cap the map size.

Add outcomes to the store reset.

The other test files reset outcomes, but this setState call does not. If a test records an outcome, later tests in this file can inherit it. Add outcomes: new Map() to the reset.

- Route directory-less OpenCode session events (session.execution.*,
  session.usage.updated) to backend listeners by remembering each
  session's directory in the SSE aggregator, so scheduled runs finish
  and failure push notifications fire; browser delivery is unchanged.
- Resolve background shell status from the transcript completion notice
  when OpenCode no longer lists the shell, keep the first terminal
  status so a kill is not reported as completed, and share one status
  icon and colour mapping between the transcript and background bar.
- Reconcile child sessions only while unknown or running, trigger it
  from the EventProvider alone, refresh children that drop to unknown
  after a poll, and forget deleted sessions.
- Fetch the model list and default concurrently while waiting for the
  schedule model, share configured-model selection, and consolidate
  schedule startup cancellation cleanup.
- Reduce background work re-renders, prune shell exit records, remove
  dead exports, and document background work in the chat guide.

Remove active-session tracking when a session is deleted.

If session.deleted arrives while the session is active, this branch deletes its directory mapping but leaves its ID in activeSessions. On reconnect, getTrackedSessions() restores the mapping and replay emits an idle status for the deleted session. Clear its active-session entry on deletion, then test deletion during an active run followed by reconnect.
