One assistant message carrying several subagent calls now overlaps them
under the rolling pool (maxParallelToolCalls) instead of serializing each
foreground delegation behind an exclusive barrier; results still commit
in model order.
tool-subagent declares isConcurrencySafe: () => true for every call form:
children work in their own sessions, a run never mutates the parent
session, and sibling workspace coordination already belongs to the model
for background, continuable, and workflow children. The former
serial-execution pin flips to a parallel pin plus a gated genuine-overlap
test, and the authored subagent-parallel snapshot pins the assembled
transcript (tool/call, tool/call, tool/result, tool/result) with
interchangeable twin children, which replay race-free under the existing
first-call binding and createdAt harvest ordering.
The provider seam now requires concurrent starts and continuable
preparations for distinct children to isolate operation-local state,
cancellation, settlement, and cleanup; a continuable gate test proves a
cancelled preparation leaves no Agent or durable Session while its
sibling persists independently.
Closesdeepseek-harness/deepseek-harness#1489
list_agents called a storage-only continuable child 'complete', inviting
parents to poll it for a result that will never appear there. Rename the
status to 'ready' — resumable, not terminal — and rewrite the tool
description to say a parent is told when a child finishes, so listing is
for recall, not polling.
A continuable child that stopped without reporting — an error, a token
ceiling, cancellation, teardown — left its parent nothing to act on.
The continuation manager now delivers an unconditional settlement
notice to the durable direct parent before releasing ownership, folding
consumed work (foldConsumedWork supersedes findLastMessageTurnEnd) so a
claimed-but-unrun prompt reads as aborted rather than completed, waking
an idle parent, steering a busy one, and never waking a closing tree.
Review round: the JSONL backend now refuses a foreign header version straight
from the raw header line, before validating today's header shape or decoding
any event row, so a structurally different future format reports the upgrade
direction instead of corruption (shared message builder
sessionFormatVersionRefusal). HMR live-prefix adoption runs the unknown-type
guard like the other read paths. The appendCore comment now states why the
unknown-type guard is read-side only, the loadStoredFrom JSDoc and README pin
the seek-vs-sequential refusal-scope divergence, and the generated catalog
preamble lists the ignorable envelope field.
Old runtimes meeting a newer session format now fail loud instead of
misreading: version refusal names the direction (newer: upgrade the
harness; older: no upgrade path) and points at the raw JSONL log, and an
event type outside the generated known vocabulary refuses resume unless
its envelope carries the new ignorable: true marker (default: required,
so a forgotten marker over-refuses instead of silently resuming a gutted
session). gen-persistence-catalog now also emits
KNOWN_SESSION_EVENT_TYPES; SQLite stores the marker in a dedicated
column (SCHEMA_VERSION 15). The versioning design (monotonic integer,
n->n+1 upgrader chain, migrate-on-continue) is recorded in the
session-log-version-mechanism Agent Note.
Regenerates the ack golden for the merged acknowledgement format, records
the zh counterparts and pairing hashes for the telemetry and catalog
pages, and restores the command-feedback to session-telemetry edge and
dependency in the module graph.
The feedback-command e2e now drives the recorded prompt through a separate
all-modes test that arms whenTurnSettled before sending and writes the
fixture back via recordFixture in record mode; the acknowledgement golden
test runs only in replay/refresh. The scaffold restores the pinned DSH_HOME
on the persistence-root setup failure path, and the telemetry subsystems
page links the README's sharing-disclosure anchor.
A restriction was compiled against the global tool layer alone: only
global-layer tools were tested against `admits()`, and every chain-layer
tool was overlaid unfiltered afterward. That read the exempt set as "the
global layer" when what it means is "what this scope registers itself" —
two descriptions of the same set only while every model-facing tool sat in
the host composition.
Moving those rows onto the agent plane separated them. A preset's tools are
an ANCESTOR contribution to a joined agent, so a subagent's `toolFilter`
stopped constraining anything it was given; and with the global layer empty
`restrict()` rejected every name it received as unknown, failing the child
outright. With the same tools in the global layer the filter still admits
and applies normally, which is what makes this a regression of the move
rather than a standing limitation.
`view()` now filters everything a scope inherits — the global layer and
every ancestor layer on its chain — and exempts only the layer the scope
owns. That exemption is load-bearing rather than incidental: the delegation
runtime registers a child's `report` and structured-output tools into the
child's own layer, and a filter naming the capabilities the child may use
must not strip the machinery it answers through. Tool order, and with it
prefix-cache reuse, is unchanged: inherited names keep their global-then-
ancestor position and own-layer names still come last.
The diagnostic said "unknown global tool" while listing what is really the
inherited surface; it now names the surface it checks and says why an
own-layer name is not restrictable.

`session.create` also adopts an already-live session, and the preceding
commit newly allows adopting one under the preset it switched to while
blank. Its response still echoed `header.agentPreset`, so that adoption
answered with the preset the session had just left — contradicting the
request it had accepted and the row `session.list` serves for the same
session from `resolveSessionPreset()`. The echo now resolves the same way.
The `assertPresetUnchanged` parameter doc said `existing` was the preset
the session was created under; both callers now pass what it runs.
`composeFrom()` was documented as "infallible" and "cannot fail" beside two
`@throws`. It has no composition failure mode — no roster read, no mount, no
file — but it does reject a caller error, and the wording now says which.
The package-level "switched preset" test re-linked to the same preset id,
so it could not tell reading the parent's live scope chain from reading its
creation header. A second fixture preset makes the switch real.
The Web browser lane's subagent goldens gain the preset badge a child now
shows, which is the visible consequence of recording its composition. That
lane runs only under DSH_EXAMPLE_MODE=lib and was missed before.
The Agent Note records two limits found in review: a cold-resumed
continuable child joins its parent's current composition rather than the one
its header names, and `toolFilter` does not constrain a joined child. The
latter is a regression from the agent-plane move rather than anything this
change introduces — with the same tools in the global layer the filter
applies normally — and is tracked in #2185.
Refs #2185
Tool and prompt-section visibility is inherited along dsh-scope's parent
chain, and an agent's scope key is minted with no parent. Per-session agent
presets moved every model-facing row onto the agent plane and made
AgentPresets.mount() the one thing that binds that link, from the api-proxy's
session create, resume, and fork paths. The two in-process subagent drivers
installed only the per-child persona and tool filter, so a child's scope chain
had length one and its registry view resolved the global layer alone — which
is empty wherever a preset roster is composed. One-shot children reached the
model with no tools, continuable ones with only the host-plane `report`, and
neither carried its parent's persona, workspace context, or skill catalog.
AgentPresets.composeFrom() joins one agent to the standing composition another
already runs on. It is a bind, not a mount: the child gets its parent's exact
generation, so a composition edited since the parent started cannot fork it
onto another one, and it is synchronous, which is what lets a child creation
window use it. applyChildComposition() now takes the parent and performs the
join first, making a child composed without it unrepresentable at the call
sites. childSessionMeta() records the joined id so a cold read rebuilds the
composition the child actually ran under.
The audit that followed found two api-proxy readers on the wrong authority:
presenterScopeFor() and the live-agent branch of assertPresetUnchanged() both
read header.agentPreset, which goes stale the moment a blank session switches
preset. A switched session's cold transcript resolved presenters in the older
composition's layer and silently degraded to generic cards, and the gateway
refused to adopt a live session under the preset it actually runs while
accepting the one it left. Both now resolve through resolveSessionPreset(),
matching the resume branch fifteen lines above. The owning architecture Agent
Note carried the stale claim that the header records what a session runs; it
is corrected to name the header/log pair and its three readers.
