Select an executed run, not a cancelled queued run.

If a user cancels a queued message while native background work remains, shell.latestRunId can identify the cancelled run. The fallback can attach the delegated task to that run’s root. For a fresh-context message, the completion offer can also name a different provider thread.

Select the latest executed run and apply the same rule in the orchestrator recheck.

Review comment at @apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.ts at line 2414:
Update the run selection around backgroundSubagentRun to use the latest executed run rather than shell.latestRunId when it may identify a cancelled queued run. Apply the same selection rule in the orchestrator recheck, and ensure a fresh-context completion offer is associated with the provider thread for that executed run.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
