fix(server): parents handle steering while waiting for child work - #35641
A steer that reaches a parent while it is blocked in t3_thread_wait, a forwarded (linked-environment) thread wait, or delegate_task(mode: wait) now ends that wait immediately with the child's current state and interruptedByMessageId, without stopping the child. ThreadManagementService races the wait against steer/promoted-to-steer user_message items on the caller's active run; PeerForwarding does the same for forwarded waits and then reads the remote state with a 1ms wait; OrchestratorMcpService adds the parent's turn-item.updated events to the delegate wait's wake streams, keeping the completion-wake upgrade. For OpenCode, an accepted steer while non-background subagent calls are active calls the native session.background endpoint so the parent can read its inbox; a failure there is only logged. Author's approach kept as written. The brief's head 264723f no longer exists (author force-pushed); work started from the current head ce55af1 with both author commits kept, then origin/main merged in cleanly. My commit only removes a non-null assertion in ThreadManagementService.waitForThread, collapses a duplicated error in PeerForwarding, and drops two test-only changes that were not needed (an unrelated message: {} mock field and abort plumbing in the OpenCode replay testkit). The push to the author's fork was refused (403), so this is on factory/pr-35622.
Supersedes #35622. The change is @AdeyaDev's; their commits are kept.
Reproduction on main
In the desktop or web app, select OpenCode v2 and ask the agent to launch two foreground native subagents, each running a long command such as sleep 120. While both children are running, send 'Reply MESSAGE_HANDLED now and leave the children running', using direct Steer or queue followed by Steer. On main, observe that the parent does not answer while blocked on the children; with this change, expect MESSAGE_HANDLED before either child finishes, followed by normal child completion. Repeat with an active goal. For the T3-owned path, ask a coordinator to delegate long-running work with mode wait, or call t3_thread_wait on a running child, and steer the coordinator during the wait; expect the wait to return and the coordinator to respond while the child continues. These are proposed reproduction steps, not executed observations.

Tests
vp test run (apps/server) ThreadManagementService.test.ts, PeerForwarding.test.ts, OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts, OpenCode2AdapterV2.test.ts: 266 passed. OpenCode steering test confirmed failing with main's adapter.ts (no session.background request). vp run check:changed origin/main: format, lint, knip x2, graphql, typecheck (37 packages) and 8 test files (277 tests) all pass. Not rerun: the wait-yields-to-steering eval and the author's live-provider runs.
Not in this change
The wait-yields-to-steering MCP tool-use eval and the shortened t3_thread_wait and delegate_task descriptions were not rerun against a model here; the author reports 2/2.
The forwarded-wait steering filter does not narrow to the caller's run the way the local thread wait does; behaviour kept as authored.

Steering the local parent can make waitForThread report a remote task as settled before its delegated work or restart continuation finishes, causing RemoteDelegation.followOnce to persist an intermediate reply and lose the eventual answer. The 1ms probe can return timedOut: true, but this line forces it to false, and the follower ignores interruptedByMessageId; keep steering out of background follower waits or have the follower retry interrupted waits before treating a terminal run as settled.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change lets parents handle steering while children continue running. An unresolved review concern identifies an unbounded OpenCode background request that can stall steering completion; the separately blocking remote-wait finding also describes potential loss of the eventual child answer.

Thread waits now return when matching caller steering arrives, identify the message, and leave the target running. Forwarded waits use the same interruption behavior. After a steer, the OpenCode adapter can background a session when an active foreground subagent remains.

Summary
Caller-input interruption in thread waits packages/contracts/src/orchestratorMcp.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadManagementService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadManagementService.test.ts
Thread waits accept caller thread and run context, and return interruptedByMessageId for matching steering input. Tests cover queued-turn and steer messages while the child remains running.
MCP waits recognize caller steering and return the interrupting message ID. The tool description and evaluation case describe handling interrupted waits; the context-budget value is updated.
Steering interruption for forwarded waits apps/server/src/peer/PeerForwarding.ts, apps/server/src/peer/PeerForwarding.test.ts
Forwarded waits watch caller-thread events and return on steering without stopping remote work. The test checks the returned status, message ID, and short follow-up wait.
After steering, the adapter requests session.background when the turn remains active and has an active foreground subagent. Replay tests cover the parent reply while the child is still running and the child report after completion.

Steering during a wait now returns control to the parent without stopping the child. Two bounded edge cases remain: a steer can be missed in a narrow startup race, and a stalled OpenCode background request could delay steer completion. Neither blocks the main flow. Fix them as follow-ups or before merge if convenient.

Explanation
The title "fix(server): parents handle steering while waiting for child work" matches the main change in the changeset. The changes let a parent wait (thread wait, forwarded wait, and delegate wait) end when a steer arrives, returning the child's current state and interruptedByMessageId while the child keeps running. The OpenCode session.background call for active foreground subagents also fits this theme. The title is short, follows conventional commit form, and names the primary behavior.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template closely. It covers Problem (steer blocked by child waits, linked issue #22331), Change (ThreadManagementService, PeerForwarding, OrchestratorMcpService, and the OpenCode adapter), Scope (links issue #22331 and a supersession note), and Verification (specific test files, pass counts, and the failing-on-main check). It also states untested items: the eval and live-provider runs were not rerun. The Evidence section says before/after captures are pending, and the description says that section must be filled before merge. That is a template requirement for UI changes, but this change has no UI component, so the gap is minor.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Objective [#22331]: a steer sent while OpenCode foreground subagents run must get a response or visible queue state while the children run, and the parent must continue when they finish.
packages/provider-opencode/src/server/v2/adapter.ts, steerTurn: after an accepted steer, if the turn is still active, not interrupted, and has a non-background call with active status, it calls client.session.background. Failure is logged as a warning only. The source hunk matches the PR description. This releases foreground observation so the parent can read its inbox.
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadManagementService.ts, waitForThread: the wait races the existing settlement wait against caller-thread turn-item.updated events. A steer or promoted-to-steer user_message for the caller run returns interruptedByMessageId with timedOut false. The child run is not stopped.
PeerForwarding.ts and OrchestratorMcpService.ts add the same wake behavior for forwarded and delegate waits, per the PR summary and the previous review.
OpenCode2AdapterV2.test.ts (per the previous review and the PR test report, 266 passing tests across the four suites) checks that steering requests session.background, that the parent replies STEERED while the child stays running, and that the child completion later settles the subagent, with and without an active goal.
Limits: The incremental diff from the previous reviewed head (f1da596) could not be read because changed blobs are missing from the checkout. The whole-PR diff was read for adapter.ts and ThreadManagementService.ts only. The live reproduction and the wait-yields-to-steering eval were not executed. The issue's minimum UI ask (the Thinking row) is covered by #17767, which the issue names as the presentation issue, so it is not a requirement here. The stack evidence is unavailable; this objective is fully implemented in this PR's own code, so no other stack member is needed to establish it.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All changed areas connect to the steering-during-wait objective of #22331. Changes include: wait wake logic in ThreadManagementService.ts, PeerForwarding.ts, and OrchestratorMcpService.ts; the interruptedByMessageId fields in packages/contracts/src/orchestratorMcp.ts; the t3_thread_wait and delegate_task descriptions in tools.ts; the OpenCode steer background call in adapter.ts; supporting tests and the replay testkit onRequest hook; the wait-yields-to-steering eval case; and the agentContextBudget.json byte count update, which supports the responsive-wait guidance. The reviewed hunks (adapter.ts and ThreadManagementService.ts, whole-PR diff) show no unrelated change. Incremental changes since f1da596 could not be read, so this verdict covers the reviewed hunks and the prior review.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Use a valid stored steer event in this test.
The double assertion hides a missing payload.runId and other required stored-event fields. The test therefore passes with an event that cannot be produced under OrchestrationV2StoredEvent. Build a complete typed event for the caller run. This also lets the test distinguish that run from an unrelated run. As per path instructions, “Backend behavior changes need focused tests.” (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Bound the best-effort background request.
steerTurn waits for session.background after the steer prompt is accepted. The request has no timeout on this path. The client wrapper does not add one, and the existing timeouts cover only the event stream and image reads. If the endpoint stops responding, the steer effect cannot complete. The catch logs failures but does not stop a request that never finishes.
Bound the request with the same timeout style used elsewhere in this client module.

Synchronize the goal assertion with adapter processing.
gate.waitForReached("release-child") proves that replay reached the child gate. It does not prove that the adapter and subscriber processed the preceding parent execution end. In the goal branch, terminals can therefore still be empty even if goal handling incorrectly ends the parent.
Add an observable barrier after the parent execution-end event. Await that barrier before checking terminals and releasing the child.
As per path instructions, tests must “await a specific persisted event or Deferred milestone.”

Read the caller cursor before the target-thread read.
The caller cursor is read after the target-thread read in waitForThread. A steer on the caller thread that arrives during that target read is included in caller.afterSequence. The incoming stream starts after that cursor, so it does not return the steer. The parent then waits until the timeout or until another steer arrives.
Read the caller cursor first. This closes the window.

Thanks for picking this up, and for tightening it. This branch started from ce55af1, so it's missing two fixes that landed on #35622 afterwards. I rewrote both against your head as small commits, in #35735 (base factory/pr-35622):
A steer to the parent ended a remote task follower's wait, which could complete the delegated task early with the wrong reply.
OpenCode: a foreground subagent that starts after an accepted steer never got session.background, so the steer waited out the child's whole run.
Each comes with a test that fails without the fix. Once those are in, I'll close #35622.
