…w XML A Peer Agent's first message is the platform-wrapped spawn brief. The web timeline had no rule for it, so it rendered as a plain user bubble with the <j5_spawn_context> block visible and only upstream's "Sent by another agent" label above it. The server now records the spawner in the envelope (spawned_by, spawner_thread_id). The web timeline strips the platform wrapper so the bubble shows only the spawner's brief, attributes it as "Brief from <spawner>", and adds a "Spawned by" lineage divider at the top of the thread with an "Open spawner thread" action, mirroring upstream's "Subagent of" header. Briefs written before the spawner facts existed still parse and fall back to "another agent". Unrecognized templates keep rendering raw. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Make the unknown-spawner identity accessible.
When a spawner label is unavailable, the participant ID appears only in the tooltip. render={<span />} replaces Base UI’s button trigger with a non-focusable span, so keyboard users cannot reach that ID. Use a focusable trigger and include the ID in its accessible name, or show the ID inline. (base-ui.com)

A Peer Agent's thread opens with the platform-wrapped spawn brief. The web timeline had no rule for that message, so it fell through to the plain user bubble with the
<j5_spawn_context>XML visible and only upstream's "Sent by another agent" label above it.Server.
spawnFirstTurnTextnow records the spawner in the envelope (spawned_by,spawner_thread_id) so the client can name and link the spawner the same way A2A delivery cards do. The two exact-text assertions are updated.Web. New
apps/web/src/j5/a2a/SpawnBrief.tsxparses that template, gated on the spawn-brief message id shape. In the timeline:Unrecognized templates keep rendering raw. The minimap already excluded this row.
Known gap. The divider is derived from the first loaded user message, so on a long thread with paged history it appears once that turn is loaded. A thread-level spawner fact would remove that dependency; left for a follow-up.
Surfaces. Web and desktop share this path. Mobile has no A2A renderer today and keeps showing raw envelopes, an existing gap not widened here.
