fix(client): completed remote tasks stay grouped while their parent is offline - #34237
Completed remote tasks reappear as standalone Done threads when the parent environment is offline and the client has no cached row for the parent. In the reported case, the parent was already settled on a MacBook Air; loading its shell restored grouping without any new task activity.
Change
The shared client keeps a quiet completed task grouped while its configured parent is missing from a non-live shell. Web, desktop and mobile share the rule. Running work, failures, pending input or approval, background work, plans, guest messages, nested approvals, and explicitly pinned/reactivated tasks retain the existing fallback. Live snapshots, disabled parent environments, and known parent removals also retain it.
Known removals use the shell's existing removedAt metadata. Legacy archive-located updates now record the same removal marker as modern thread.removed events. Stable status/removal selectors avoid recomputing grouping on every streamed shell update. No archive query, persisted state, wire field, or server behavior is added, and no task is settled, archived or deleted.
Scope and approval
Related to #30320. This uses the focused obvious-bug exception: an unavailable parent does not prove that its completed task is an orphan. The change is temporary client grouping limited to quiet completed tasks, with regressions for actionable work and known removals.
A parent omitted from an authoritative live snapshot by the older-settled window remains outside this fix. Server-side task settlement is not backfilled.
Verification
Tested head: 321e6882497a60ba4c014b5b4e133c2c99a57e0a. All eight required GitHub checks passed on this head, including the web suite, build/typecheck, and release smoke checks. CodeRabbit inspected the review fix and confirmed the resolved finding. The PR was marked ready after those checks completed.
vp run check:changed a536ff7ac0c0: passed format, lint, both knip checks, seven affected/dependent package typechecks, 195 tests in six files, and seven selected React compiler checks.
Original regression fails on base a536ff7ac0c0 with the completed task unexpectedly listed. Review regressions fail on 432a12aebc: known removed parents hide their task, and legacy archive updates lack a removal marker. Both updated suites pass (33 tests) on the new head. Tests apply actual archive/removal stream events and check that task settlement is unchanged.
The same web-only scenario fails on base at expect.toBeHidden and passes on head 321e688249; fresh screenshots and video were captured on that head. The combined scenarios:prove attempt could not complete setup; sequential web-only runs provide the proof.
Simplification and adversarial self-review completed. No independent agent review is claimed.
The browser scenario creates real completed replay-provider turns and supplies remote-parent metadata and a failed neighbor at the shell HTTP boundary. It registers the parent through the normal client catalog and blocks descriptor requests. This is real web-client verification with synthetic remote metadata, not a real Mac/relay integration. Native mobile and packaged desktop were not exercised.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
Shell state now records archive updates as thread removals. Delegated-task navigation grouping uses shell status and removal state to determine when a completed task with a missing parent appears.

Summary
Shell removal state packages/client-runtime/src/state/shell.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/shell-sync.test.ts
Archive-location updates now record a thread’s removal sequence. The shell exposes the removal map, and the synchronization test checks the archived thread’s sequence.
The grouping rule uses shell status, removal state, and task activity to decide when a completed delegated task with a missing parent appears. Tests cover unavailable and restored parents, task activity, qualifying descendants, removal state, and disabled environments.
Platform wiring and test harnesses apps/mobile/src/state/threads.ts, apps/web/src/state/threads.ts, apps/web/src/components/ThreadNotificationCoordinator.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ThreadNotificationCoordinator.badge.browser.test.ts, apps/mobile/src/state/use-composer-drafts.test.ts, apps/web/src/composerDraftStore.test.ts
Mobile and web thread-shell configurations pass shell status and removal atoms. Notification observation uses the listed-parent grouping atom. Composer reconciliation test harnesses provide the new inputs.
Completed delegated tasks that still have running or busy child work stay visible while their parent is offline. Only quiet completed tasks are grouped under an unavailable parent. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains.

Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and each is filled in with specifics. The Problem section states the expected behavior and the reproduction context. The Change section explains the shared rule and the removal-marker handling. The Scope section links related issue #30320 and explains the obvious-bug exception. The Verification section gives commands, test counts, the tested head, and the limits of the testing, including what was not exercised (native mobile, packaged desktop). The description is long and includes some detail beyond the template, but it is complete. The template's Scope section asks for a link to the issue that shows the bug; the description links #30320 as related rather than as the bug issue, which is a minor point.

- Around line 681-683: Update the parent-resolution fallback in the
`awaitingParent` logic to retain enough archive information to recognize a known

completed tasks remain listed in navigation. Update the relevant test to apply
an archive-location update before marking the parent shell cached.

Include running descendants in the missing-parent grouping guard.
A completed task can have a running subagent and no pending request. The guard at line 701 checks only the task's own liveness, so it can group that task under a missing parent. The task and its running subagent then leave navigation until the parent returns. The existing request check at line 707 does not cover this case because it reads only pending requests.
Treat a task with a live child subagent as active for this guard. The environment thread list already contains live children, so the check can read it directly:

This checks direct children only. A running subagent nested under a non-running child needs the same walk applied recursively. Add a case to the existing threadShell.test.ts table for a completed task with a running child and no pending request.

A task counts as quiet only when nothing in its lineage is still working and no task was
delegated from it, so a child's background work never hides behind an unavailable parent.
Notifications skip only tasks whose parent is listed, so a task that completes while its
parent's environment is offline still notifies.

Problem
Completed remote tasks reappear as standalone Done threads when the parent environment is offline and the client has no cached row for the parent. In the reported case, the parent was already settled on a MacBook Air; loading its shell restored grouping without any new task activity.
Change
The shared client keeps a quiet completed task grouped while its configured parent is missing from a non-live shell. Web, desktop and mobile share the rule. Running work, failures, pending input or approval, background work, plans, guest messages, nested approvals, and explicitly pinned/reactivated tasks retain the existing fallback. Live snapshots, disabled parent environments, and known parent removals also retain it.
Known removals use the shell's existing
removedAtmetadata. Legacy archive-located updates now record the same removal marker as modernthread.removedevents. Stable status/removal selectors avoid recomputing grouping on every streamed shell update. No archive query, persisted state, wire field, or server behavior is added, and no task is settled, archived or deleted.Scope and approval
