perf(server): delegated tasks start and finish without reading the whole parent thread - #34551
Starting, finishing and cancelling a delegated task read whole record sets of the parent thread to use one run, one node, one turn item and one task. On a long parent that decoded tens of megabytes for each task, so each start took about 10 s and each finish about 30 s on a live server.
These paths now read the records they use by id:
Start reads the parent run and node by id with that run's provider thread, attempt and provider turn, in one transaction.
Finish reads the task, its node and its turn item by id, the child's own transfers, and only the run, message and tasks that delivery planning uses.
Cancel reads the one task.
The stop check on the start path reads one entry of the partial stop-request index. Other commands use the same check, so they get this too.
ProjectionStore gains three id filters (attemptIds, providerTurnIds, subagentChildThreadIds), hasRunInterruptRequest and getRunProviderRecords. A turn item read by node id now uses the node index. No migration, no contract change. The events written, the errors and the checks are the same.
Store reads on a copy of a real database (parent thread with 227 runs, 40,312 nodes and 767 tasks; warm, best of 3):
Path

Task start
83 ms, 3.3 MB decoded, 16 MB heap
1.2 ms, 4 KB decoded, 0.9 MB heap
Task finish
324 ms, 56.9 MB decoded, 157 MB heap
1.9 ms, 24 KB decoded, 1.0 MB heap
Task status sync
274 ms, 43.4 MB decoded, 120 MB heap
0.5 ms, 7 KB decoded, 0.2 MB heap
Task cancel
14 ms, 4.1 MB decoded, 18 MB heap
0.4 ms, 6 KB decoded, 0.2 MB heap
Proof: the new test replays the SQL of one task start and finish on a copy with 300 more history rows in each parent table and asserts that the SQLite VM step count stays flat. On main it fails with 76,582 steps against a budget of 1,410. The extended store test fails on main because the id filters do not exist. Both pass here, with the 2,983 tests in the orchestration, MCP and peer folders and vp run check:changed.
Two reads on these paths still grow with the parent, and both are small: the two COUNT(*) reads that number the task and its wake walk one index, and the provider turn read walks the thread's turn rows without decoding them, because there is no index on the attempt.

…ole parent thread
Starting, finishing and cancelling a delegated task read whole record
sets of the parent thread to use one run, one node, one turn item and
one task. On a long parent that decoded tens of megabytes for each task.
These paths now read those records by id:
- Task start reads the parent run and node by id, then that run's
provider thread, attempt and provider turn.
- Task finish reads the task, its node and its turn item by id, the
child's own transfers, and only the run, message and tasks that
delivery planning uses.
- Task cancel reads the one task.
- The stop check reads one entry of the partial stop-request index.
ProjectionStore gains three id filters (attemptIds, providerTurnIds,
subagentChildThreadIds) and hasRunInterruptRequest. A turn item read by
node id now uses the node index.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Delegated-task startup and completion now use targeted database reads rather than loading the parent thread, supported by an additive index. Existing orchestration checks remain, with no product-default change or destructive data migration.

Walkthrough
Orchestrator now uses targeted projection reads for delegated-task requests, completion, cancellation, and stop handling. ProjectionStore adds filtered reads and dedicated provider-record and interrupt-request lookups. Tests check query plans and measure SQLite read steps as parent history grows. Migration 93 adds an index on provider-turn attempt IDs.
ProjectionStore adds filters for attempts, provider turns, and subagent child threads. It adds lookups for run interrupt requests and run provider records. Tests check filtered reads, query plans, and the test double’s handling of the new methods. Migration 93 creates an index on provider-turn attempt IDs, and migration tests include it in upgrade and retry expectations.
Orchestrator loads records relevant to delegated-task requests, completion, cancellation, and stop handling. The control-read test captures SQL statements and checks read cost after adding parent history.
This change narrows delegated-task reads to targeted queries and adds an index, with no production defect identified. One new performance test relies on a Node SQLite API that may be missing on older supported Node versions. Local test runs there could fail, but CI on the pinned version is unaffected, so the risk is low.

The title names the main change: delegated task start and finish no longer read the whole parent thread. It follows the conventional commit form and matches the changeset (narrower, id-based projection reads for delegated tasks) and the stated objectives.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description covers the problem (whole parent-thread reads on start, finish, cancel, and stop checks), the change (id-based reads, new ProjectionStore filters, hasRunInterruptRequest, getRunProviderRecords), and verification (SQL replay test, extended store test, measured timings on a database copy, 2,983 tests, check:changed). The Scope section does not link an issue or explain why no issue is needed, and the template's Scope guidance (bug fixes, not features) is not addressed. The description also includes a sentence about the authoring agent, which the template asks for. These gaps are minor relative to the overall completeness.
Resolution
Optional: add a Scope section that links the issue for the slow delegated-task paths, or states why no issue is needed. Also consider noting the perf change as a bug fix, since the template accepts bug fixes rather than features.

Use a named Effect.fn for the new store operation.
getRunProviderRecords is a reusable service operation, but this arrow does not create its operation span. Wrap the operation in Effect.fn("ProjectionStore.getRunProviderRecords"). Keep the transaction and error mapping inside that operation.
As per coding guidelines, “Reusable functions use Effect.fn("Service.operation"), not an arrow or declaration returning Effect.gen.”

Declining the nitpick to wrap getRunProviderRecords in a named Effect.fn. It follows the store reads next to it in the same file (getThreadRecords, hasRunInterruptRequest, getThreadSnapshot), which are plain arrows over sql.withTransaction. Its one caller already runs inside the orchestrationV2.dispatch.delegatedTaskRequest span, and each statement has its own SQL span, so no time is hidden from a trace.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Guard the stat("vmStep") call for Node versions before 26.8.0.
StatementSync.stat() was added in Node v26.8.0. apps/server/package.json still allows ^22.16 and >=24.10, and those runtimes lack the method. On them, the first readSteps() call throws TypeError: statement.stat is not a function. The declare module "node:sqlite" augmentation adds a type only and no runtime method. CI and the root pin use 26.13.1, so the pinned workflow is unaffected. Local runs on other engine-allowed versions fail.
Choose one of these fixes:
Raise the apps/server engine floor to a version at or above 26.8.0, so the declared engines match the API.
Gate this test on the runtime version. Use an explicit, reasoned skip for runtimes below 26.8.0, following the repository's skip-tracking rule.

Ran both real servers sequentially on the same Linux VM with fresh synthetic databases. On each: 100 cycles of 400 completed tool calls plus seven delegated tasks, followed by quick-task/status/cancel rounds on large and tiny parents. Six measured rounds follow one warm-up. Captures were opened and visually inspected.
Large-parent changed store-read scopes, median milliseconds: startup 69.88→14.08, completion 851.76→14.13, status synchronization 55.81→2.25, cancellation parent-task lookup 10.11→0.36. Every gain exceeds the combined base/head round-median spreads: respectively 55.81>27.30, 837.63>188.75, 53.56>9.94, and 9.75>4.00 ms. All four have non-overlapping round-median ranges. Head large/tiny read medians are close: startup 14.08/13.51, completion 14.13/16.04, status sync 2.25/2.55, cancellation lookup 0.36/0.26 ms.
Whole completion improved 898.87→132.72 ms, and whole cancellation 1147.36→217.15 ms; both gains exceed combined spreads. Whole startup 180.86→128.51 ms does not meet the spread threshold and is not claimed as proven.
Status synchronization measures the parent/context-transfer reads inside Orchestrator.finalizeAppOwnedSubagent, excluding nested task finalization. It does not measure the unchanged delegatedTaskResultPending. Store timings include canonical projection SQL reads and decoding, excluding surrounding transaction overhead.
Persisted behavior matched exactly: each large parent ended with 721 completed and 21 interrupted tasks; each tiny parent with 21 completed and 21 interrupted tasks. Every task retained the same synthetic result text. Delivery states matched, all 42 measured cancellations reached terminal status, and neither provider transcript contained errors.
Heap use and decoded/allocated payload bytes were not measured.
The author's exact 1.2/1.9/0.5/0.4 ms database-copy microbenchmark figures and 10/30 second live-host delays were not reproduced; this evidence measures traced reads inside real server operations.
Whole startup improved numerically but its 52.35 ms gain did not exceed the base's 76.46 ms round-median spread. Whole outer-finalize timing also failed the spread threshold; the changed status synchronization read scope passed.
Cancellation's hasRunInterruptRequest lookup, task-numbering counts, and residual provider-turn scanning were not separately isolated.
… by its attempt index
The start's provider-turn lookup by attempt had no index and walked every
provider turn of the parent thread, so its cost still grew with history.

Measured on the same Linux x86_64 machine (AMD EPYC 9455, Node v26.12.1), using the real server, application CLI, and a synthetic ACP provider.
Steps: create fresh per-commit state; grow a parent with 100 cycles of 400 completed tool calls plus seven delegates; run nine MEASURE rounds on that parent and nine on a new tiny parent. Each MEASURE starts three quick children, receives their completion wake, reads their results, then starts and cancels three long children. Repeat the identical MEASURE action in three confirmation batches of nine rounds per commit. Every sample is retained.
Confirmation medians in milliseconds. Each gain exceeds both sides' batch-median range; all batch-median intervals are non-overlapping.

*Terminal finalization includes completed and interrupted results. Parent status sync excludes nested terminal finalization. Its changed reads are measured under Orchestrator.finalizeAppOwnedSubagent; the unchanged child-only delegatedTaskResultPending is a separate control.
Targeted store-read medians (before → after): startup provider context 66.6 → 23.2 ms, completion planning 778.9 → 18.1 ms, parent status sync 66.7 → 6.3 ms, cancellation parent-task lookup 16.9 → 0.317 ms. The interrupt-presence store call improved 10.283 → 0.515 ms. Every targeted read also beats the larger batch range.
Both commits delivered 135 measured QUICK_OK results and persisted 135 long children as interrupted, with no live runs or provider errors. The original nine-round startup comparison had excessive run spread; the larger confirmation batches were specified before base results were available and establish the improvement.
These are live-server span measurements. Heap allocation and the author's isolated database-copy timings were not measured.
Not shown:
Heap allocation and decoded payload bytes were not measured. The PR's exact isolated warm-store timings and 0.2–1.0 MB heap figures were not replicated by this live-server capture.
The author's production-host 10-second startup and 30-second finish latencies were not reproduced on this synthetic workload.
Remote delegates, worktree isolation, and child continuation/restart result delivery were not exercised; the reproduction uses local shared-checkout ACP delegates.
