feat(server): delegate_task to a linked environment by juliusmarminge · Pull Request #16719 · pingdotgg/t3code

juliusmarminge · 2026-10-07T04:57:09Z

Part of cross-environment orchestration. An agent can now delegate a task to a linked environment and get woken by its result, the same way a local subagent wakes it.

How it works

The call. delegate_task takes target.environmentId and, optionally, target.projectId. Without a project, it picks the project there with the same repository canonicalKey as this thread's. Both sides resolve the identity with RepositoryIdentityResolver, because a project's cached identity is blank until enrichment runs. If none or several match, it fails with invalid_request and lists the candidates.
Launch there. The child is an ordinary thread on the other side. RemoteDelegation launches it through PeerForwarding, and uses a key derived from clientRequestId and the caller's namespace, so a retry hits the same thread there via feat(server): t3_thread_launch takes clientRequestId #16654.
- The provider and model inherit from the parent, as for a local task. A different provider there needs target.model.
- Modes the caller asks for are checked against the parent. Omitted modes are left to the other side, which inherits the parent's modes capped by the link's access. A narrower link (say auto-accept-edits under a full-access parent) still takes the task instead of refusing it.
Record here. A new internal command, delegated_task.remote.request, records the task on the parent: node, subagent row and turn item, with remoteChild: {environmentId, threadId, label} instead of a local child thread. childThreadId is null for these tasks; it becomes nullable in the MCP result, and every reader handles that.
Completion. A follower waits on the remote thread (in ≤50 s pieces, per feat(server): agents use linked environments #16684), reads its last reply, and dispatches delegated_task.remote.complete. That command reuses planDelegatedCompletionDelivery and offerDelegatedCompletionDeliveries, so the parent's live run claims the result and wakes exactly as it does for a local child. A second report is refused, so the first result stands.
Failure handling. A revoked or expired link fails the task with the reason. Anything else, such as the other machine asleep or a dropped route, backs off up to 5 minutes and tries again.
Restart. At startup the follower re-follows every open remote task (ProjectionStore.getOpenRemoteDelegatedTasks). Restart recovery (ProviderRuntimeRecoveryService) no longer cancels a remote task as abandoned provider work.
Task tools.
- task_status: answers from the row.
- mode=wait: wakes on the parent's subagent.updated.
- task_cancel: interrupts the thread there, then completes the task as cancelled.
Lineage across environments. The launch carries delegatedFrom: {environmentId, threadId, title}. Like linkOrigin, only the server keeps it: thread.create drops it unless the launch is stamped with a link origin, and a client cannot set it.
- Parent (web). The inline task card and a Lineage row in the thread panel say "on box". They open the thread there when this client is connected to that environment, and are plain labels otherwise.
- Child (web). The timeline opens with "Subagent of on ", with "Open parent thread" when that environment is connected. The parent's live title is used once the client sees it.
- Mobile. Subagent rows say "on box" and open the remote thread when the environment is known. The thread header reads "Subagent of ".
Docs. docs/user/remote-access.md and docs/internals/remote.md get a short note each.

Verification

peer/RemoteDelegation.test.ts runs the laptop's real orchestrator (replay harness, SQLite), real toolkit and RemoteDelegation against the box's real /mcp behind real OAuth, on a real socket. The box's thread store is modelled, and the test finishes its thread. Three tests:
- Delegate and complete. Delegating launches in the box project with the matching repository. A retry with the same key launches and records nothing new. When the box thread finishes, the task completes with its reply, the parent's live run claims it (delegatedCompletion.delivery.taskIds), the parent is offered a wake, and task_status reports the result.
- Restart. The laptop delegates and is torn down. The task finishes on the box meanwhile. A new laptop on the same database starts the follower, which completes the task.
- Cancel and revoke. task_cancel interrupts the box thread and completes the task as cancelled. A second task fails with "no longer accepts this link" once the box revokes the link.
orchestration-v2/RemoteDelegatedTask.test.ts covers the deciders directly:
- A replayed request records one task, with no local thread.
- The task is open until it completes, then it isn't.
- Completion claims the delivery and offers one wake.
- A late second report is refused.
Mutation-checked: each of these fails its test when removed:
- the parent wake after completion;
- the delivery plan (writing the bare task);
- first-result-wins;
- re-following at startup;
- the open-task query's result filter;
- failing on revocation (it would retry forever);
- cancel's interrupt there;
- the retry key;
- the remote turn item.
Also ran all of mcp, peer and cli, plus ProviderRuntimeRecoveryService, DelegatedCompletionDelivery, ThreadManagementService, ProviderTurnControlService, ProjectionStore and Orchestrator: 49 files, 491 tests. Contracts orchestratorMcp and orchestrationV2: 40 tests. All passed. Server, contracts, client-runtime, web and mobile typecheck clean, and lint is clean on the changed lines.

Review fixes (bots plus three rounds of adversarial review by GPT 6.1 Sol and Claude Fable 5.1)

The task there gets what a local child gets. The role prompt, and the parent's provider and model unless the caller names others. Modes the caller omits are left to the other side, which caps the parent's modes at the link's access.
Its own run, read whole. The launch's run id is kept on remoteChild.runId. The follower waits on that run and takes the result from that run's last reply, paging through the whole thread and reading a long reply to its end (itemId + textOffset). A later run's reply is never taken as the result.
Retries and keys. The local record's command id carries the provider session's namespace, matching the forwarder's launch key, so a reused clientRequestId from another session is a new task on both sides. Each completion attempt has its own command id, and a report refused because the task already ended counts as done.
Terminal failures end the task. A revoked or expired link, a link forgotten here, or a thread or run gone there fails the task with the reason, instead of retrying forever.
Stopping stops the whole thread there. Cancel, and the parent's Stop, send t3_thread_interrupt with stop: true (feat(server): agents use linked environments #16684), which also holds the thread's queue there and stops the tasks it delegated. A cancel after the result still stops follow-up work there.
A stop owed survives. remoteChild.stoppedThere records that nothing is left to stop there. A task cancelled or stopped here without it is followed again after a restart, and the follower keeps sending the stop until it lands. A run that ends there while the parent's Stop lands here doesn't count as stopped (stoppedThere: "ran-out" vs "stopped"), so its queued work is still stopped. A stop the other side refuses on mode grounds, say after the parent was lowered, ends instead of retrying.
Smaller fixes.
- A failed local record interrupts the thread it just launched.
- The follower reaches the peer with this environment's id.
- Matching a project there pages through every project.
- A local target.projectId naming another project is refused.
- Delegating reads the one link it needs without probing every peer.
Tests. RemoteDelegation.test.ts went from 4 to 15 tests. They cover:
- a 45,000-character reply and a later run's reply present;
- namespacing;
- the thread gone there and the link forgotten here;
- cancel without a link, and cancel after the result;
- the parent's Stop, while the box is unreachable, across a restart, while the result is being read, and when the box refuses it.
Each was mutation-checked.
Deferred: recording the task here before launching it there, to cover a crash or lost response between the two without a retry. That's Remote delegate_task: record the task before launching it there #17051, with a design. Today a failed record interrupts the launched thread, and a retry with the same clientRequestId replays the launch and records it.

Demo: link, delegate, follow the lineage (dev servers on this PR's head, hostnames laptop and box, real Codex agents)

Steps, in order:

Create a pairing link on the box.
Link it from the laptop's Settings → Connections.
The box lists the laptop as a client it can revoke.
A laptop agent gets a plain prompt ("delegate this to my box environment…"), with no model or modes.
It calls delegate_task with only target.environmentId. The task runs on the box under the link's auto-accept-edits, while the parent has full access.
The parent wakes with the box's result. Only the box's pricing.ts changed.
With the box added as an environment on the laptop client, the "on box" card opens the box's thread, which shows "From T3 Code · laptop" and "Subagent of …". "Open parent thread" returns.

Pairing codes are blurred.

https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/7edb274b45c1a49f/peer-delegation-demo.mp4

Parent on the laptop: task card and Lineage say "on box"	Child on the box, opened from the laptop: "Subagent of" and "From T3 Code · laptop"

The first take of this demo found two gaps, which this PR now fixes:

The agent's first two delegate_task calls failed. One had no target.model (target_required). The other used the parent's full access, which was broader than the link's auto-accept-edits (runtime_mode_escalation_denied). The model and modes now inherit as described above, and a new test covers both: a task named only by environment inherits the parent's model, within the link. Restoring the old mode handling fails that test with the same runtime_mode_escalation_denied the demo hit.
The child's divider showed the title the parent had at delegation, before the parent renamed itself. It now uses the parent's live title when this client can see it.

End to end, two real servers (t3 serve built from this PR's head, d1f9fbd237, so nothing above it in the stack)

A laptop and a box on one machine, each with its own data directory and a project cloned from one bare origin. Linked with t3 environment link … --access auto and a pairing code from the box. A real Claude Sonnet 5.5 agent on the laptop calls delegate_task with target.environmentId set to the box, and the child is a real Claude turn there.
Delegate and complete. The child edited math.ts in the box's checkout and replied BOX DONE cups …/box-repo M math.ts. The task went from running to completed in 13 s with that reply, and the parent woke with PARENT GOT BOX DONE …. The laptop's checkout stayed clean. The box's thread carries the link's origin ("From T3 Code · cups").
Restart mid-task. The laptop was stopped 1 s after delegating and restarted 9 s later, while the box child was still running a 60 s command. The follower picked the task up at startup. The task completed when the box run did (21:06:40), and the parent woke with PARENT GOT BOX SURVIVED RESTART.
Cancel. With the box child mid-command, the parent agent called task_cancel, which returned cancel_requested. The task became cancelled and the box run interrupted at the same moment (21:07:47), and the parent reported PARENT GOT Cancelled.
Revoke. With a child running, t3 auth session revoke on the box. The laptop's next poll failed the task in under a minute with "The linked environment no longer accepts this link. It may have been revoked there; link it again.", the parent woke with that reason, and t3 environment list shows it as the link's last error.

End-to-end run, two real servers

Two t3 serve processes from the top of this stack, each with its own data directory, on one machine. A laptop (port 3971) and a box (port 3972). Their projects are clones of one bare origin, so they share a repository. An outside agent (OAuth with a pairing code) drives the laptop's /mcp, and real Claude Sonnet 5.5 turns run on both sides. The last part repeats the run over Tailscale HTTPS (a *.ts.net HTTPS address).

A real Claude agent on the laptop called delegate_task with target.environmentId set to the box:

Completion: the child ran on the box. The laptop's task record stored remoteChild {environmentId, threadId, label: "cups"}, and the parent woke with the child's final reply ("PARENT GOT …").
Restart mid-task: I restarted the laptop while the box's child was still running. The follower picked the task up again at startup and completed it with the child's reply, and the parent woke with it.
Revocation mid-task: I revoked the link on the box while a 100 s child was running. Within about 30 s the laptop's task was failed, with the link's reason.

Two bugs found and fixed in this PR:

The first delegate_task failed with "No project there has this repository", though both projects share one origin. ProjectService reads a repository identity from a one-minute cache that is blank when cold. That made both the laptop's own project and the box's t3_project_list look like they had no repository. Matching now resolves the identity with RepositoryIdentityResolver on both sides. The test now starts with blank identities, and reverting either side fails it.
The revocation reason was doubled ("…no longer accepts this link: The linked environment no longer accepts this link…"). It now says it once, and the test pins the exact text.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds delegated-task execution in linked environments. It records remote-child details on the parent thread, follows remote progress and completion, and exposes remote-task controls through MCP. Clients can display and open remote threads. Project listing resolves missing repository identities.

Changes

Remote delegated tasks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Record remote tasks on the parent thread `packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderRuntimeRecoveryService.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadManagementService.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/*test.ts`	Contracts and orchestration record remote-child tasks and completion on the parent thread. The projection store lists open remote tasks, and recovery recognizes tasks with remote children.
Launch and follow linked-environment tasks `apps/server/src/peer/RemoteDelegation.ts`, `apps/server/src/peer/RemoteDelegation.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/server.ts`, `apps/server/src/peer/PeerLinks.testkit.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadLaunchService.ts`, `apps/server/src/mcp/linkOrigin.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/project/*`, `docs/internals/remote.md`	`RemoteDelegation` selects a remote project, launches a thread, follows its status, and records completion or cancellation. Startup resumes open remote tasks. Thread launch carries delegated-origin metadata, and project listing resolves missing repository identities.
Expose remote tasks through MCP `packages/contracts/src/orchestratorMcp.ts`, `apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.ts`, `apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/orchestrator/*`, `apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpToolkit.integration.test.ts`, `docs/user/remote-access.md`	MCP can delegate to a linked environment, await or inspect remote tasks, and cancel them through remote delegation. Local task behavior remains available.
Open remote tasks in clients `apps/mobile/src/features/threads/`, `apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx`, `apps/web/src/components/chat/`, `packages/client-runtime/src/state/models.ts`	Mobile and web thread views display remote task details and resolve navigation targets using the remote environment and thread IDs.

delegate it as though the requested project were honored. Preserve delegation
for supported targets.
- Around line 58-64: At apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/orchestrator/handlers.ts

pagination by passing each response’s nextCursor until it is null, then match
the repository against projects from all pages. Preserve duplicate detection
across the complete result set.
- Around line 281-301: Update the error handling in `follow` so
`OrchestratorMcpFailure` codes `thread_not_found` and `run_not_found`, as well
as `capability_denied`, complete the task as failed using the remote error

- Around line 240-255: Update the complete helper to generate a fresh command ID
for each dispatch attempt instead of reusing one derived only from
parentThreadId and taskId. When a completion dispatch is refused because another
completion won the race, re-read the task so the follower can observe its
completed state and stop retrying.
- Around line 332-366: Update the delegated-tasks.stop handler to include tasks
with a remoteChild and stop them through RemoteDelegation.cancel, which forwards
t3_thread_interrupt; preserve the existing recursive handling for local child
threads.

Review comments at @docs/user/remote-access.md:

Record the local task before launching remote work.

delegate launches the remote thread before it dispatches the local task record. If that dispatch fails, the method returns an error without starting follow. The remote thread can continue, but start() only resumes tasks returned by getOpenRemoteDelegatedTasks, so the child has no local owner or completion path.

The request key only helps when the caller supplies and reuses it. When omitted, line 194 generates a key that is not returned to the caller. Create a durable pending local record before launching, then attach the returned remote thread ID to that record, or add an equivalent reconciliation path for failed dispatches.

Partly fixed. A failed record now interrupts the launched thread, and a retry with the same clientRequestId replays the launch and records it. The remaining window, a crash or lost response between launch and record without a retry, is tracked in #17051 with a design.

@juliusmarminge Thanks for clarifying. Interrupting the launched thread handles a reported record failure, and retries with the same clientRequestId can recover the local record.

The crash or lost-response window remains unresolved in this finding. #17051 tracks that remaining work; no duplicate issue is needed.

🟠 High peer/RemoteDelegation.ts:569

When the launched remote run becomes terminal, this code completes the delegated task with that run’s reply even if the remote thread still has an async child or completion delivery in progress. The local parent therefore settles before the remote agent resumes and produces its final result; waitForThread only reports the selected run’s terminal status. Follow the remote thread’s delegated-work progress and capture its eventual result run before calling complete.

🟠 High orchestration-v2/ThreadManagementService.ts:859

When a remote child has already produced a result but started follow-up work, stopDelegatedTasks skips it, leaving that work running after the parent is stopped. The task.result !== null guard causes this skip, and RemoteDelegation.followOnce exits for completed tasks with a result; use the remote stop path that RemoteDelegation.cancel uses for this case.

The `task.result !== null` guard causes this skip, and `RemoteDelegation.followOnce` exits for completed tasks with a result; use the remote stop path that `RemoteDelegation.cancel` uses for this case.

delegate_task takes target.environmentId (and optionally target.projectId). The child then runs as an ordinary thread in the linked environment, launched through the link with a key derived from the caller's clientRequestId, in the project there with this thread's repository unless one is named. The parent here records the task with delegated_task.remote.request: its node, subagent row and turn item, with remoteChild instead of a local child thread. RemoteDelegation follows the thread there and completes the task with delegated_task.remote.complete, which reuses the parent half of a local finalize, so the parent wakes as it would for a local child. Open remote tasks are followed again at startup. A revoked or expired link fails the task with that reason; any other error backs off, up to five minutes. task_status and mode=wait answer from the row, task_cancel interrupts the thread there and completes the task as cancelled, and restart recovery no longer treats a remote task as abandoned provider work.
