Problem

Every Stop also ends the thread's background work: background subagents, background shells, delegated tasks and pull request watches. Stop on a running turn is also how you redirect an agent that is heading the wrong way, so redirecting costs you that work. On 2026-10-06 a mid-turn Stop meant only to redirect cancelled three background OpenCode 2 subagents that had been running for about 80 minutes (details in #16759). Neither provider does this on its own interrupt: OpenCode's interrupt ends only the session's own execution, and Claude Code's Esc keeps background shells and agents running.

Cause:

  • ProviderTurnControlService.interrupt always passes requestRuntimeRestart: true, for a running turn as well as a settled one. fix(server): Stop always ends the background work a thread shows #14636 added this so the "Waiting on …" strip's Stop always reaches background work (see fix(server): Stop ends a Claude thread's background work after the turn settles #13792).
  • The OpenCode 2 adapter then runs stopBackground, which interrupts every background child session.
  • The Claude adapter calls query.interrupt and then query.close, so the Claude Code process exits and its background shells and agents die with it.
  • The orchestrator ends the thread's pull request watches, drops the wakes its delegated tasks owe, and emits delegated-tasks.stop.
  • When a turn ends interrupted, RunExecutionService marks every subagent the run owns interrupted and stops ingesting its background work, even work the provider keeps running.

Change

Stop on a running turn ends only the turn. Stop on the strip, or on a turn that has already settled, keeps today's behaviour and ends everything.

  • Contract. run.interrupt takes an optional scope: "turn" | "all"; omitted means all, so older clients behave as today. Turn capabilities get an optional interruptKeepsBackgroundWork.
  • Clients. The web composer's Stop button (and the thread.stop shortcut, which uses the same handler) sends scope: "turn". The strip's Stop sends no scope. Mobile is unchanged (see Known limitations).
  • Orchestrator. On a preparing, starting or running run, scope: "turn" still holds the queue and interrupts the turn. It keeps pull request watches, delegated tasks and the wakes they owe, and background work on other provider threads. On a settled run it ends everything, as before.
  • Provider. The interrupt effect and the settle that follows it carry the scope:
    • When the session's capabilities set interruptKeepsBackgroundWork, ProviderTurnControlService sends the adapter keepBackgroundWork instead of requestRuntimeRestart. A turn that already ended has nothing to stop.
    • The adapter marks its interrupted turn.terminal with backgroundWorkContinues. RunExecutionService then tracks that work as it does after a completed turn: no cascade to interrupted, and ingestion continues until the work ends.
    • The settle leaves provider work alone only while the provider can keep it and still runs some for that thread (hasPendingBackgroundWorkForThread). A session that died, or an adapter that fell back to a full stop, gets its leftovers settled.
    • Under a turn-scoped Stop the settle never settles delegated-task items, so the strip keeps listing a delegated task whose child thread still runs, whatever the provider.

What a turn-only Stop does per adapter:

Adapter Turn-only Stop
OpenCode 2 Interrupts only the parent session (no stopBackground), as OpenCode's own interrupt does. Background subagents finish, and their reports wake the thread.
Claude query.interrupt without query.close, then waits up to 10 s for Claude's interrupted result (if none arrives, the process is closed as before). Background shells keep running and wake the thread when they finish. The Agent SDK's own interrupt stops background agents, so those still end. The foreground tool Claude rejects at the interrupt shows as interrupted, not failed.
Codex Today's provider Stop. Interrupting a Codex turn also terminates its tracked terminals and its child agent turns, even when restarting with new input, so there is no turn-only path to reuse; it needs its own design.
ACP (Grok, Antigravity, Devin and other ACP registry agents) Today's provider Stop. A user Stop quarantines the run, and for Grok kills the process group. The soft path is only verified for steering, where a new prompt follows at once, and I could not check these CLIs here.
Cursor, Pi, OpenCode 1.x Today's provider Stop. Cursor and Pi end all of a turn's work with the turn anyway, and OpenCode 1.x aborts the session.

The orchestrator-level parts (delegated tasks, watches) apply to every provider.

I left out a separate "Stop all" control to keep this to one change: the strip's Stop ends the background work, and it appears as soon as the turn has stopped.

Docs: the user guide line about Stop, the Stop paragraph in docs/orchestration-v2/feature-lifecycles.md, and one comparison in the orchestrator MCP doc.

Scope and approval

This changes product behaviour, so CONTRIBUTING requires maintainer approval first. Approval is pending in the Ideas discussion #16759 (the proposal is in this comment). I'm opening the PR before that approval so the code, tests and screenshots can inform the decision. I'm fine with it being closed or reworked.

Background: #13792 and #14636 made the strip's Stop end background work; this keeps that. #14655 (mobile has no Stop for background work) is why mobile keeps today's Stop. I found no other report of Stop ending background or subagent work besides #16759.

Verification

New tests:

  • TurnScopedStop.integration.test.ts: a fake provider driven through the real orchestrator and effect worker. A running turn has a background command, a delegated task and a pull request watch.

    Stop Provider interrupt Background command Watch delegated-tasks.stop Delegated wake Delegated item on the strip
    turn, provider keeps work keepBackgroundWork running kept no open running
    turn, provider can't keep it requestRuntimeRestart interrupted kept no open running
    turn, provider runs no background work after the interrupt keepBackgroundWork interrupted kept no open running
    turn, provider session gone before the interrupt runs none interrupted kept no open (child died with the session)
    no scope (older clients) requestRuntimeRestart interrupted ended yes disposed interrupted
    turn on a settled run requestRuntimeRestart interrupted ended yes disposed interrupted
  • OpenCode2OrchestratorV2.integration.test.ts: two runs of the recorded OpenCode 2 background session (opencode2_background), stopped while the parent is still answering.

    • With scope: "turn", only the parent is interrupted (the replay fails on any other request). The strip lists the subagent, the subagent completes with CHILD_OK, and its report runs as a continuation.
    • With no scope, the child is interrupted first and ends interrupted.
  • claude_background_task_stop_turn: a fixture recorded with the real Claude Agent SDK 0.3.276 and Claude Code 2.1.292, using a new recorder option that interrupts without closing. The recording shows query.interrupt, an error_during_execution result, the background command's task_notification 20 s later, and a wake turn answering WAKE_DONE. In T3, the command stays on the roster past the interrupt and run 2 is the wake. The existing claude_background_task_interrupt fixture still covers the full Stop.

  • ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts: a turn-only Stop keeps the process and the roster; when Claude never answers the interrupt, the adapter closes the process after 10 s; a full Stop arriving while a turn-only one waits closes the process and reports the background work as ended; a process that exits before Claude's interrupted result keeps nothing.

  • commands.test.ts (client-runtime): after a turn-scoped Stop keeps a pull request watch, the strip's Stop ends that watch (thread.pull-request.watch with watching: false) instead of targeting the interrupted run.

  • Against main, the OpenCode 2 turn-scoped replay fails. Without the RunExecutionService change the subagent ends interrupted; without the orchestrator change the replay stalls on the unexpected child interrupt.

Before relying on the Claude path, I probed the SDK directly. interrupt() without close() ended the turn with an error_during_execution result and the process stayed up. A background Bash task kept running and its completion started a wake turn, and a follow-up prompt worked in the same process. A background Agent was ended by the SDK at the interrupt (task_updated status: killed).

Live in a NixOS VM, I ran nightly 0.0.46-nightly.20261007.2761 next to this branch built from source. The branch ran with the nightly's native modules on Node 26, the Node the nightly binary embeds. OpenCode 2.0.24 used cursor-opencode-provider with Claude Opus 5.5, and Claude Code 2.1.292 used Sonnet 4.6. Stop was clicked in the web UI in headless Chromium.

Scenario nightly 2761 this PR
OpenCode 2: two background subagents (sleep 100), parent in its own sleep 90; composer Stop both subagents interrupted, strip empty both keep running on the strip; REPORT_A and REPORT_B arrive and run as a continuation
Same, then the strip's Stop nothing left to stop both end interrupted, strip clears
OpenCode 2: turn ends by itself while two subagents run; strip's Stop both interrupted both interrupted (unchanged)
Claude: background shell (sleep 60) and background agent, foreground 120 s command; composer Stop process closed: shell gone from the roster, agent cancelled shell stays on the strip, finishes and wakes a run (BG_SHELL_DONE); agent stopped by the SDK
OpenCode 2: async delegate_task (sleep 90), parent in sleep 90; composer Stop delegated task interrupted delegated task keeps running on the strip, completes with DELEGATE_DONE and wakes the parent

I ran the table on the first commit. After the later fixes, I re-ran the two-subagent and delegated-task rows on the final server build and got the same results on both builds.

OpenCode 2, composer Stop while two background subagents run. Before (full size) and after (full size):

Nightly: after Stop, the two subagents show as stopped This PR: the run is interrupted, the two subagents keep working, and the strip says Waiting on 2 subagents with a Stop button

This PR, after the strip's Stop (full size):

This PR: after the strip's Stop, both subagents show as stopped and the strip is gone

Delegated task, composer Stop. Before (full size) and after (full size):

Nightly: the delegated task shows as stopped This PR: the delegated task keeps running and is listed on the strip

Claude, composer Stop with a background shell and a background agent. Before (full size) and after (full size):

Nightly: the agent is stopped and nothing is left running This PR: the agent is stopped by the SDK, the background shell keeps running on the strip

Known limitations:

  • Mobile keeps today's Stop, which ends everything, because mobile has no Stop for background work yet ([Bug]: Mobile has no way to stop background work after the turn settles #14655). Sending turn there would leave work running that the phone can't end. Once mobile has a background-work Stop, switching it over is one line.
  • Claude background agents still end on a turn-only Stop; the Agent SDK's interrupt stops them. The SDK reports that inside the interrupted turn, so in a later wake turn the model may say the agent is still running, while T3 shows it as stopped.
  • Providers without the capability keep their provider-level Stop (see the table above).
  • Held queue. If the thread had queued messages, this Stop still holds them, and a wake from kept background work waits behind them until the queue is resumed.
  • Claude model switch. As after a completed turn, switching the model of a Claude thread is refused while its background shells run; the strip's Stop ends them.

Not tested live: Codex, Grok, ACP providers, Cursor, desktop, mobile, Windows and macOS.

Found and written with Claude Opus 5.5 in T3 Code (OpenCode 2 + cursor-opencode-provider).

🟡 Medium orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts:8604

A turn-scoped Stop leaves pending background items and the provider roster marked active when the interrupt has actually stopped the provider. keepBackgroundWork reflects the requested Stop mode, not whether work survived: Claude can close the process on timeout, and ProviderTurnControlService.interrupt treats a missing session as already stopped, yet both paths reach this return and skip settlement. Only skip settlement when the provider confirms background work is continuing; otherwise settle the closed or missing-session work.

Fixed in 81990e3 and 3acce5e: after a turn-scoped Stop, the settle keeps provider background work only while the live session still reports work for that thread, so a session that died or an adapter that fell back to a full stop gets its items and roster settled. TurnScopedStop.integration.test.ts covers both cases.

🟡 Medium Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts:5012

A hard Stop after a keep-background Stop is reported as though background work survived: keepsBackgroundWork remains true, so finalization emits backgroundWorkContinues and preserves the roster even though the hard Stop killed the CLI and its background shells. The hard-Stop path must clear or override turnsKeepingBackgroundWork before finalizeActiveTurn reads it.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This changes the default composer Stop behavior and adds substantial cross-component lifecycle logic so background processes, delegated tasks, watches, and continuation runs can outlive an interrupted turn. Unresolved Medium findings also identify cases where stopped providers may leave stale background-work state or be reported as continuing after termination.

Stop requests can now target the active turn. When the provider supports it, the turn ends while eligible background work continues. Unscoped and post-settlement Stops retain thread-wide cleanup. Provider adapters, orchestration, client behavior, replay fixtures, and tests were updated.

Changes

Turn-scoped Stop

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stop scope and preservation contracts
packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts, packages/provider-core/src/server/ProviderAdapter.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.ts, apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/EffectOutbox.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/EffectWorker.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderTurnControlService.ts
The interrupt command and provider contracts add scope and background-work preservation fields. The client sends turn scope, and effect handling forwards it to provider control.
Orchestration and run-work lifecycle
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RunExecutionService.ts
Turn-scoped Stop preserves eligible delegated tasks, watches, and background work. Run execution retains background tracking when an interrupted terminal reports continuing work.
Provider background-work handling
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, packages/provider-opencode/src/server/v2/adapter.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts
Claude and OpenCode 2 report continuing background work after supported turn-scoped interrupts. Claude waits for turn finalization, closes the query on timeout, and classifies interrupt-rejected tool results as interrupted. Tests cover process retention, timeout, and full Stop.
Replay scenarios and integration coverage

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5e4dd

If the Claude process exits during a turn-only Stop, its background work can stay shown as running indefinitely. Clearing that state on query exit is a small fix and should be made before merging. The earlier timeout and delegated-completion concerns are addressed at the current head.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5e4dd

The new Stop behavior is intentional and preserves compatibility with older callers. However, an execution-process exit racing with turn-only Stop can leave dead background work appearing active and delay cleanup until a later full Stop or replacement process.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: If the Claude query exits while a turn-only interrupt is pending, queryContext is cleared before interrupted finalization. Finalization nevertheless uses the preservation marker to retain background state and report continuation. Because the pending-work probe checks the roster rather than query liveness, follow-up settlement can preserve dead work and retain its run subscription. The base cleared this roster on interrupted finalization. A later full Stop or query replacement can recover, but the exit transition itself does not establish a surviving execution owner.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure change is longer-lived work under the selected thread's existing provider execution authority, not a new authority grant. Its effective asset, credential, and network reach depends on the pre-existing runtime policy; tenant-wide or deployment-wide exposure was not established by this inspection.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The web action retains its environment-operate check. Provider control rejects inconsistent recorded session/thread/turn targets, and the adapters require the requested turn to match the active turn before foreground interruption. Turn-only preservation additionally requires provider capability support.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Continuation signaling now carries an execution-ownership obligation: retained work must still have a live producer or reach cleanup. Claude's query-exit race can violate that obligation by retaining a roster after its query owner disappears. This affects failure containment and truthful lifecycle state; unauthorized execution or cross-thread access was not demonstrated.

8705-8708: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add turn-scoped coverage for the dead-session path.

The no-session branch keeps stopRemainingWork from clearing background work, then calls settleInterruptedRun without keepBackgroundWork and settleBackgroundWork to end that work locally. Existing stalled-run tests release the session but use thread.stop without scope: "turn". The turn-scoped tests retain a live session. Add a turn-scoped missing-session case and assert the local cleanup behavior.

🟠 Major · Preserve the delegated completion cohort in the dead-session fallback. · Orchestrator.ts:8359

apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts:8359
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the delegated completion cohort in the dead-session fallback.

For a turn-scoped Stop, keepBackgroundWork is true while the run is preparing, starting, or running. The dead-session branch preserves background work, but calls settleInterruptedRun without that flag. The settlement removes delegatedCompletion. Later delivery handling cannot find an open matching parent cohort.

Pass the flag into this fallback and retain the cohort when it is set. Continue removing it for a thread-wide Stop.

Suggested fix
       const { delegatedCompletion: _delegatedCompletion, ...runWithoutDelegatedCompletion } = run;
       yield* emitEvent({
         ...base,
         type: "run.updated",
         payload: {
-          ...runWithoutDelegatedCompletion,
+          ...(input.keepBackgroundWork === true ? run : runWithoutDelegatedCompletion),
           status: "interrupted",
           completedAt: input.now,
         },
       });
-        yield* settleInterruptedRun({ command, projection, providerTurn, events, effects, now });
+        yield* settleInterruptedRun({
+          command,
+          projection,
+          providerTurn,
+          events,
+          effects,
+          ...(keepBackgroundWork ? { keepBackgroundWork: true } : {}),
+          now,
+        });

Re the outside-diff finding on Orchestrator.ts:8359 (review): no change. Leaving delegatedCompletion out of that run.updated payload doesn't remove it: preserveRunRecordedFields and the SQL upsert (keepRecordedRunField) keep the stored cohort when the payload omits it, which stops a stale run snapshot from overwriting a newer cohort write (as in CheckpointCaptureService), so spreading run would bring that problem back. The dead-session branch leaves the flag out on purpose: in settleInterruptedRun it only keeps provider subagents running, and a dead session runs none, while delegated tasks and their wakes are kept there through stopRemainingWork and keepDelegatedTasks.

@coderabbitai please re-check the merge-risk rating against #16852 (comment): preserveRunRecordedFields and keepRecordedRunField keep delegatedCompletion when a run.updated payload omits it, so the lost-session fallback doesn't drop the cohort.

@nkoynov, you are correct. I re-checked commit 27e47214 against the linked comment. The Moderate merge-risk rationale is invalid. My revised assessment is Low for the reviewed changes.

The code confirms that:

  • preserveRunRecordedFields retains the current delegatedCompletion when a run.updated payload omits it.
  • The SQL upsert uses keepRecordedRunField to preserve $.delegatedCompletion.
  • In the lost-session fallback, stopRemainingWork preserves delegated-task wakes, and keepDelegatedTasks preserves app-owned task items.
  • settleInterruptedRun already excludes app-owned subagents from cascade termination. Its keepBackgroundWork flag additionally preserves provider subagents, which a dead session cannot keep running.

I withdraw the finding at apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, Line 8359, and both suggested changes. Spreading the stale run snapshot could overwrite a newer cohort value.

No code change is needed for this finding. This reassessment does not change the separate maintainer-approval requirement. Thanks for the clarification.

Learning: In the TypeScript orchestration-v2 implementation, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts preserves an existing delegatedCompletion when a run.updated payload omits it: preserveRunRecordedFields handles in-memory projection updates, and keepRecordedRunField handles the SQL upsert for $.delegatedCompletion. Omission does not delete the cohort. Avoid recommending that apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts spread a stale run snapshot merely to retain this field, because an explicit stale value can overwrite a newer cohort write.

Comment thread apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts
…work

The composer's Stop now sends run.interrupt with scope "turn": it ends the
running turn and leaves the background work it started, the thread's
delegated tasks and pull request watches running. Stop on the Waiting strip,
on a settled turn, from older clients and from mobile keeps ending everything.

OpenCode 2 and Claude declare interruptKeepsBackgroundWork. OpenCode 2 skips
stopBackground; Claude interrupts without closing the CLI process, so
background shells finish and wake the thread (the Agent SDK's interrupt still
stops background agents). Other providers keep ending their own background
work with the turn.
…provider runs it

The settle after a turn-scoped Stop now ends the background work when the
provider session is gone by the time the interrupt runs. On Claude, a full
Stop that arrives while a turn-scoped one waits on Claude closes the process
and reports the background work as ended.
The settle after a turn-scoped Stop keeps background work only while the
live session reports work still running for that provider thread, so an
adapter that fell back to a full stop (Claude after an unanswered interrupt)
gets its leftovers settled too.
…th any provider

The interrupt effect and the settle now carry the Stop's scope instead of a
provider-level flag. The settle keeps provider work only when the provider
can keep it and still runs some for the thread, and under a turn-scoped Stop
it never settles delegated-task items: their child threads keep running, so
the Waiting strip keeps listing them, also for providers that end their own
background work with the turn.
