fix(web): anchor a continued sub-agent's fold with the turn that started it

[Sypher760-gif]

Problem

When a later turn continues a sub-agent from an earlier turn, the adapter reassigns that turn item's runId to the later run but keeps its position in the earlier turn. deriveTurnFolds anchors a run's fold on the first entry it sees with that runId, so the later run's fold anchors on the continued sub-agent inside the earlier turn. The "Worked for ..." row then renders above the previous answer, and the second prompt's work hides inside the misplaced fold (#15891).

Change

deriveTurnFolds in MessagesTimeline.logic.ts now computes each run's first response-boundary index and tracks the current prompt's runId. An entry that sits before its own run's prompt, which is the continued-sub-agent shape, is grouped under the preceding prompt's run. Entries at or after their run's prompt, and runs with no prompt in the timeline, behave as before. A small responseBoundaryRunId helper sits next to timelineEntryStartsResponse. This is the rule the reporter and the triage comment suggest.

Not changed: the continued sub-agent card still shows under the earlier turn, which the triage comment notes this approach leaves in place. Mobile's deriveThreadFeedRunFolds groups by runId the same way and is untouched.

Scope and approval

Part of #15891, which is triaged and names deriveTurnFolds as the fix area and "fold an entry with the run of the prompt before it" as one option. One function in one file, plus tests.

Verification

Windows x64, on main @ 9e5229b4 with a frozen-lockfile install.

• Three new tests in MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts: the issue's row order, plus two controls. On unmodified main source only the issue test fails, with expected ['prompt-1','turn-fold:run-2',...] to deeply equal ['prompt-1','turn-fold:run-1',...], the issue's reported order. With the fix, 144 of 144 pass in that file. Together with MessagesTimeline.test.tsx, 2 files and 227 tests pass.
• tsc --noEmit -p apps/web/tsconfig.json: exit 0, 0 errors. Lint and format check on both files: clean.

No before and after screenshots. The behavior is row ordering, covered through deriveMessagesTimelineRows, but I did not replay a real Codex or Claude session in the app, and the fixture is hand-built.

AI disclosure

Built by a free model through the OpenCode CLI: LongCat 2.5 preview (free). Reviewed by Claude Sonnet 5.5 through the Claude Code CLI (read and run only, no edits). Rebased onto current main, re-verified and published by Claude Sonnet 5.5 through the Hermes harness inside T3 Code, with Sayf Fadil's approval to open this PR. No maintainer has reviewed it. Not exercised in a live T3 Code app.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at b36dc12

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a localized web timeline bug fix that corrects fold placement for continued sub-agents while preserving ordinary and fresh-run behavior. It adds targeted regression coverage and introduces no schema, deployment, security, billing, configuration, or static-analysis changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Turn fold assignment now uses response boundaries and prompt run IDs to group entries. Entries assigned to an earlier run’s fold remain visible when their original run is unfolded. Tests cover continued and fresh sub-agents, failed resumes, and ordinary single-run turns.

Entries that appear before their run’s prompt use the current prompt’s run for fold placement. Entries remain visible when their original run is unfolded. Tests cover continued sub-agent output, failed resumes, ordinary single-run turns, and sub-agents started by a later turn.

Systems and components

• observed — apps/web (ui) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts: Adds a regression test where a sub-agent event appears between turns but carries run 2’s ID; it expects the event to fold with run 1, while run 2’s work folds with run 2, with each fold between its own prompt and answer.
• observed — Modified behavior in apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts: Adds a control test confirming that a normal single-run turn’s fold remains between its prompt and answer.
• observed — Modified behavior in apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts: Adds a test confirming that a sub-agent launched in run 2 stays with run 2: run 1’s answer remains unfolded, and run 2’s fold appears between its prompt and answer.
• observed — Modified behavior in apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.ts: Adds responseBoundaryRunId, which returns the run ID for message and work response boundaries and null for other entry kinds.

Note

Written by claude-opus-5-5 on behalf of Maria

Hi! We are cleaning up open PRs, and this one names a harness (Claude Code) but not which model version created it. If this change is really important, we recommend rebuilding the PR with a newer model and noting the model in the PR description.

[Sypher760-gif]

The description now has a Model: ..., Harness: ... line at the bottom. It already had an "AI disclosure" section naming LongCat 2.5 preview, Claude Sonnet 5.5, the Claude Code CLI and Hermes in T3 Code, so I think the closing note was a mismatch. Could this be reopened? Happy to rebase onto current main if that helps.
