From 90accf7c00bcc7b9fe47f9af7be3e47da6495a25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derek Hearst Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 20:11:30 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] feat(engine): gate delegations in the PreToolUse hook, one card per child Fan-out (#32) is the model calling the SDK's `Agent` tool (formerly `Task`) several times in one message; the CLI runs them as a parallel batch. Nothing bounded how many ran, what they cost or how deep the tree went, and canUseTool cannot: the Agent tool answers its own permission check with "allow" in the modes we run. The engine's PreToolUse hook fires for every call and is binding, so admission lives there. $lib/engine/delegation-gate (pure) decides each delegation: - rewrites run_in_background to false. A background child in a one-shot query is held back and killed at the print-mode ceiling and reports only a token total; a foreground child runs in parallel with its siblings and returns a typed AgentOutput; - strips isolation and mode, and model when the parent is on the gateway; - refuses a child past MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBAGENTS (4), with "wait for the running children to finish, then delegate the rest". Refused, not queued: a hook that waited would time out and let the call through. The slot is reserved before the budget check awaits; - refuses a call made inside a child (agent_id on the hook input); - runs an injected per-child budget check, bounded at 10s; - fails closed on any surprise. Agent, Task and Workflow join every definition's disallowedTools, and Workflow (the CLI's scripted fan-out, which would bypass the gate) joins DISALLOWED_BUILTIN_TOOLS. The roster now also maps each offered key to its agents row, for the budget check and the ledger. The child's card opens at the parent's Agent call ($lib/engine/ subagent-block), so a refused child still has one, and the delegation gets no tool block or tool_call frame beside it. The child's messages, routed by parent_tool_use_id, build an ordered, capped transcript ($lib/engine/subagent-transcript). The delegation's typed result closes the card with SubagentDetails (tool-result-details now distils Agent and Task); a launch placeholder does not; a card still open when the turn ends is closed as stopped. New block fields are optional jsonb: no migration. readTurnUsage now says whether its figure already includes the children, for the ledger. Stop needs nothing new: a foreground child runs on the parent turn's own abort controller (bundled CLI 2.1.278), so interrupt() ends it with the turn, and perTaskStopAffordance stays undeclared. Chat hooks read the delegation off its card's frames, so before_tool / after_tool still fire for it (as `Agent`, with the child's report).

Its budget check is the same enforceBudgetGuard a chat turn passes, scoped to the child's own agent, so a fan-out cannot walk through a limit set on the agents it delegates to; a blocked child records the same alert and review item, and the model is told not to retry. A child with no agents row of ours (the SDK's built-in agents) is checked as the parent's agent. Each child that completes gets one llm_usage row: source 'subagent', runId = the parent run, agentId = the child's agent (else the parent's), model = the model it ended on, cost 0 on the subscription and priced from the catalogue on the gateway ($lib/costs/subagent-ledger). The SDK's per-child usage (AgentOutput.usage) is the child's LAST model call, not its total (read in the bundled CLI 2.1.278), while the turn's modelUsage already includes every child. So a child row is carved out of the parent's row rather than added: tokens field by field, cost once the child row is priced. The turn's total is unchanged and nothing is counted twice; the rest of a child's spend stays on the parent, where all of it was before. Where the turn figure is main-loop only (a resumed session with no baseline) the child rows are additions. The message and conversation totals still show the whole turn, and each child's cost is stamped on its card before the blocks persist.

Collapsed it shows the child agent, how it ended (working, done, failed, refused, stopped), its task, and its tokens, cost, duration and tool count, leaving out what the child did not report ($lib/chat/subagent-card, pure). Expanded it shows the child's own transcript in order: what it said, and each tool it called with a short hint at what it touched and whether it worked. A refusal or failure shows its reason. The live page builds the same transcript from the subagent_* frames (streaming-blocks), subagent_done carries the typed result and how the child ended, subagent_start is idempotent for a resumed stream, and a partial save on Stop keeps the card and marks a running child stopped. Blocks saved before this still render from their text and tool names.

The engine now records that it sent the interrupt, and an error result after that, or one carrying the CLI's interrupt text, closes the card as stopped. - The slot is freed when the child's card closes, not when its call is answered. A trusted project's agent definition with background: true is backgrounded by the CLI whatever the call says; its launch placeholder no longer frees the slot, and its task_notification closes the card and hands the slot back, so the cap holds. - Each child's spend is added up over its own model calls (forwarded assistant messages and message_start/message_delta events, one count per message id, largest report wins), with the typed result folded in as the last call. The total rides on the card's done frame and on the persisted block as `usage`. - onSubagentDone: the caller is told as each card closes, before the loop reads on. - SendMessage is off for parents and children: it can resume a finished agent outside any Agent call.

A child that failed or was stopped partway gets a row for what it spent. - The row is written the moment the child's card closes, through the engine's onSubagentDone, instead of after the turn. The budget check the next child passes reads the ledger, so a turn that fans out in waves is checked against the waves that already finished. createChatDelegation hands the route the gate and the ledger together; settle() books any child not booked yet and returns the parent's share. - The live spec no longer leaves the blocked child's review item in the shared database.

It is now the child's spend added up over its model calls, the same figure as its ledger row, live and after a reload. A card saved before falls back to the old figure.
