The orchestration rule injected into every agent (packages/provider-core/src/server/orchestrationInstructions.ts) said every delegate review or re-check is a new delegate_task, never a t3_thread_send, with no exception for unfinished work. So a parent asked to continue an interrupted review child started a replacement delegate_task and then steered the replacement. That is the cause the issue's transcript shows; I checked the rule against the source rather than redoing the live repro. The bullet now reads: '...is a new delegate_task (brief, findings, objections), never a t3_thread_send; that resumes an interrupted delegate.' This keeps the ban on reusing a finished reviewer for a new round and names t3_thread_send as how you resume an interrupted delegate. Two clauses in the same bullet were shortened to limit growth to +19 bytes, and agentContextBudget.json now holds the measured values, so CI's agent-context-budget gate needs the agent-context-increase label. Added eval case resume-interrupted-review-delegate (orchestration.ndjson): an interrupted Sol review child plus the reporter's 'continue' message; it expects t3_thread_send to the original childThreadId and no delegate_task. The case builds in a dry run. No real model has been run against it yet (the eval needs a real ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and refuses the hub token), so the before/after check the evals README asks for still has to be done. No new regex or parser.

Fixes #28734

Reproduction on main

Commit b68aedf (origin/main). Started T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev in a fresh worktree, enabled the opencode provider instance in the worktree's own settings.json, added a one-file git project (calc.ts with three small bugs), and started a parent thread with t3 thread start --provider opencode --model opencode/deepseek-v4.1-flash-free asking it to delegate a review to an OpenCode DeepSeek child whose brief begins with sleep 150. The parent called delegate_task and the child thread began running sleep. In the web UI (Browser panel) I opened the child thread and clicked Stop generation; the child thread then showed status interrupted. The parent, without being asked, called t3_thread_read on the interrupted child (twice) and then created a replacement child with a fresh delegate_task (same brief, new thread ...delegate-task:review-calc-ts-1). I then sent the parent the reporter's message: "Tell the DeepSeek instance to continue because I interrupted it last night." The parent called t3_thread_send (mode steer, "continue where it left off") on the replacement child, not the original, and told the user the replacement was already continuing. The original interrupted child thread was never resumed. Tool calls were read from the worktree's own dev database (orchestration_events, read-only). The parent ran on OpenCode rather than the reporter's Codex; the injected orchestration rule text is shared across providers.

Evidence

Being captured: before and after in the real app. This section is filled in before the pull request can merge.

Tests

vp test run apps/server/src/provider/AgentContextBudget.test.ts apps/server/src/provider/CodexDeveloperInstructions.test.ts: 7 passed (the budget test failed at +19 bytes before agentContextBudget.json was updated). vp test run evals/mcp-tool-use: 1003 passed. pnpm mcp-tool-use --case resume-interrupted-review-delegate --dry-run: the case builds. Paid sample: 2/2 errored with HTTP 401, because the eval refuses ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN and no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is on the VM, so no model pass/fail exists. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (27 packages) and tests all passed.

Not in this change

• Open PR fix(server): honor requests to continue delegated reviews #30923 rewrites the same bullet to allow t3_thread_send on explicit reuse of a reviewer; the two will conflict and the maintainer should choose which wording wins.
• Before merge, someone with an Anthropic API key or the vibeproxy Codex provider should run the new eval case on main's text and on this text, plus the existing review-round-uses-thread-send, review-followup-ask-sol-to-confirm and stale-review-not-cancelled-on-ship cases, to show no regression.
• CI's agent-context-budget check will fail until a maintainer adds the agent-context-increase label (+19 bytes).

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Agents are now instructed to resume interrupted delegates in their existing child threads rather than replace them. The resumed-task contract remains unresolved: a human needs to determine how continuation should preserve task association and status tracking.

Walkthrough

The orchestration guidance distinguishes resuming an interrupted delegate from starting a new review. The orchestrator adds continuation instructions for eligible interrupted tasks. An evaluation case and a live-cohort test check the instruction. Two configured context byte limits decrease by 4.

Changes: Delegate continuation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Continuation guidance and delivery packages/provider-core/src/server/orchestrationInstructions.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/DelegatedCompletionDelivery.test.ts, evals/mcp-tool-use/cases/orchestration.ndjson	The guidance assigns new reviews and re-checks to delegate_task, and interrupted continuations to t3_thread_send. For an interrupted task with a child thread ID, the orchestrator adds continuation guidance to the completion detail. The test and evaluation case check that instruction.

Context byte limits

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review e7ccc

Telling the parent to resume an interrupted delegate with a thread message may leave the original task showing as interrupted. It may also fail to deliver a completion notice. The new eval case is weak and has not been run against a real model, so it may not catch regressions. Resolve or accept these before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main behavior change: agents resume an interrupted delegate instead of replacing it. The objectives confirm the orchestration instruction change that routes explicit continuation to t3_thread_send and keeps delegate_task for new reviews. The title uses a conventional commit prefix and is specific. It is 74 characters, which is within a normal title length.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template sections (Problem, Change, Scope, Verification) and explains the cause, the rule change, and the linked issue. It names the reproduction on main and lists the tests run. Two template items are incomplete. The Evidence section is a placeholder and says before/after evidence is still being captured. The verification also states that the real-model before/after eval has not run. The template also asks that the change be a bug fix with a linked issue, and the author links issue #28734. The description is mostly complete, but the required Evidence section is unfilled.

Resolution

Fill in the Evidence section with the before/after captures from the real app, or state clearly why they are not possible. Run the new eval case against both the base text and the changed text, or state that this check is still pending. Confirm the agent-context-increase label is applied before CI runs.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#28734] The issue asks that the injected orchestration rule separate resuming an interrupted delegated review from starting a fresh review. At the reviewed head, packages/provider-core/src/server/orchestrationInstructions.ts reads: 'Every new delegate review or re-check is a new delegate_task (brief, findings, objections), never a t3_thread_send; that resumes an interrupted delegate.' This keeps delegate_task for fresh reviews and re-checks and names t3_thread_send as the resume path for interrupted work. This matches the exception the issue suggests. Apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts adds a resume hint to the completion wake detail for interrupted tasks with a non-null childThreadId, which supports the issue's concern about completion wakeups. The eval case resume-interrupted-review-delegate in evals/mcp-tool-use/cases/orchestration.ndjson encodes the expected send to the original child thread. Unresolved: no real model has run this eval, so the behavior change is not measured. The diff does not show at runtime that t3_thread_send to an interrupted child reuses that child's provider context. The issue accepts a dedicated resume operation or a documented limitation only if t3_thread_send cannot preserve ownership or wakeups, and that condition is not established either way.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed files relate to #28734. (1) orchestrationInstructions.ts: the 'that resumes an interrupted delegate' clause is the requirement change. The diff against the merge base also shows that the other edits in the same bullet (fix small review findings yourself; cancel extras without a replacement) reword existing rules and keep their meaning. No new rule is added there. (2) Orchestrator.ts: the interrupted-task resume hint supports the same resume path and the completion-wakeup concern. (3) DelegatedCompletionDelivery.test.ts: seeds an interrupted child and asserts the resume instruction, which tests the Orchestrator change. (4) orchestration.ndjson: adds the eval case for the new requirement. (5) agentContextBudget.json: updates measured budget values after the instruction text changed. No unrelated code is changed. Documentation gaps remain: the PR description does not mention the Orchestrator.ts or DelegatedCompletionDelivery.test.ts changes, and it describes the budget change as +19 bytes while agentContextBudget.json shows decreases (claudeSystemAppendBytes 5597 to 5593, codexAdditionalContextBytes 7327 to 7323). These gaps do not make the code out of scope.

Complete the before-and-after model evaluation.

The reported run only built the case; it did not run against a model. The case has therefore not demonstrated that the old text fails and the new text passes. Run the comparison before merge.

As per coding guidelines: “It must fail on the old text and pass on the new text.”

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Reject freshContext on the continuation send.

The case passes any t3_thread_send to the child thread. That includes a send with freshContext: true. Fresh-context sends start a new provider session in the same thread, so the child loses the context that the case says must be kept. The grader ignores extra argument keys in expect.calls, so the extra argument does not cause a failure.

Add a forbidden-argument entry, as the sibling case does:

Major · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

The continuation hint does not reattach the interrupted task.

At line 824, the hint tells the parent to resume with t3_thread_send. A parent-sent message does not carry the task ID. The new run therefore does not receive the task's delegatedTaskId. The interrupted task can keep reporting interrupted while the resumed child runs, and task-scoped status reads do not see that run.

The available code does not show whether the completion wake still reaches the task. The fallback to forkedFrom may cover that path. This comment does not claim that the wake is lost.

No safe local patch is established here. The fix would either change the hint or add task reattachment to the send path. Choosing between them depends on the intended contract for resumed delegates.

the capture step could not show the problem on the base commit, so there is nothing to prove fixed.

On head, started a parent asking for a delegated calc.ts review whose brief begins with sleep 150. Opened the child while Running sleep and clicked Stop generation. The parent created a replacement without being asked. Sent the reporter's continue request while the replacement was running and clicked Send now. Observed completion: the replacement finished, the original remained interrupted, and the parent never called t3_thread_send. Attempted the same setup on base, but browser startup failed before the interruption step. A repeated head attempt failed with a provider error.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.

these checks fail on 445579a, also when run again: Agent context budget, and the rework changed nothing:

Not pushed: the branch is still at 445579a and the CI Agent context budget check still fails on it. I reproduced the failure locally: the instruction text is +10 bytes over main on both counts (claude 5594 -> 5604, codex 7324 -> 7334). The fix is written but uncommitted in the rework-3 worktree. In the delegate bullet, 'Asked to continue an interrupted delegate:' becomes 'Asked to resume a stopped delegate:' (-7 bytes) and 'Told to skip or cut delegates:' becomes 'Told to skip/cut delegates:' (-3). agentContextBudget.json goes back to main's 5594/7324, and AgentContextBudget.test.ts plus CodexDeveloperInstructions.test.ts pass with it (7 tests). Evals on the trimmed text, GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra through the hub: resume-interrupted-review-delegate 3/3 each; interrupted-delegate-wake-not-replaced 8/9 Sol, 9/9 Astra; review-round-uses-thread-send, stop-all-delegates-uses-task-cancel and too-many-delegates-cancel-extras 3/3 each; stale-review-not-cancelled-on-ship 8/9 Sol and 8/9 Astra. Both stale-review misses started a new review without task_cancel on the old one. On the same case, main's text passed 12/12 and the pre-trim text passed 12/12, so the 'skip/cut' shortening may have weakened the cancel clause. I did not decide before the turn ended. A 6-sample confirmation run of stale-review on the trimmed text was still running in the background. Keeping main's cancel wording leaves the bullet 20-25 bytes over the budget, so the next pass should either keep 'skip or cut' and find 3 bytes elsewhere in the bullet (for example, drop 'to its' before childThreadId), or push the trimmed text if the confirmation run shows the misses are noise, then rerun stale-review.
