ApprovabilityVerdict: Approved at Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The PR adds a small, tested Stop control for active T3-owned subagents in Lineage, using the existing child-thread interrupt path. Native and settled agents plus normal lineage behavior remain unchanged, with no defaults, schema, infrastructure, or static-analysis changes. Notes:

waitingsubagents in dispatch, as settlement already does.
- Dispatch rejects every subagent whose status is not exactly
"running".- Settlement interrupts any parent task where
isOrchestrationV2WorkActiveis true. That includeswaiting, and thewaiting-taskrace test expectswaitingto becomeinterrupted.- A native Codex subagent blocked on a user-input or approval request has status
waiting. A user cannot stop it from Lineage, even though its child turn is still running.- Dispatch still requires a running child provider turn, so this change does not allow stopping work that has already settled.

Addressed the outside-diff waiting-state finding from review 5a04efbf in 1cc0584. Both the Lineage control and subagent.interrupt dispatch now accept running or waiting native Codex subagents. Capability, origin, driver, child-thread, live child-turn, and session guards remain. Regression tests failed before this change because the web button was absent and server dispatch rejected waiting; both pass now. All 60 focused tests across seven files pass, plus server/web type checks and changed-file lint/format. |

Reviewed at 86a5ab3. Stopping a subagent from Lineage without leaving the parent is a real gap, but this revision isn't ready, and the scope approval requested on #13652 is still outstanding.
1. Stopping a T3-owned subagent is cheap, but stopping a native Codex one takes about 400 lines of server code. The T3-owned path needs no server or contract change: Lineage can call the existing run.interrupt on the child thread. Everything else, including subagent.interrupt, subagent.interrupt-requested, subagentInterrupt and the locking changes, exists only for native Codex.
- The background-work settle step now branches on
driver === "codex"(Orchestrator.ts#L8519-L8604). It builds its own interrupted turn, node, item, message and request events, largely repeatingsettleInterruptedRun. Provider-specific logic belongs in the adapter, not in orchestration. - The web gate also hardcodes
codex(ThreadRelationshipsControl.tsx#L409). Meanwhile the server reportssubagentInterrupt: trueunconditionally (ServerEnvironment.ts#L221), so the capability promises more than it delivers. subagent.interrupt-requested(Orchestrator.ts#L9084) changes no state in either projection. It seems to exist only because a command that produces no events drops its queued side effects (#L10622). It is still a persisted event type that must be decodable forever, and it is now published to the awareness relay too.
2. Every provider's subagent events now wait on the parent thread's lock. ProviderEventIngestor.ts#L594-L607 puts every subagent.updated, subagent-node and subagent-item write under the parent's command lock, on the hot event-stream path. It fixes a race created only by this PR's new settlement step. As a result, any long command on the parent stalls that run's event stream, including for providers that gain nothing from the change. The lock is also not reentrant, so a future caller that ingests while holding the parent lock will hang.
Suggested path: Narrow this PR to the Lineage control for T3-owned subagents, using run.interrupt on the child thread. Drop the new command, event, capability and ingestor locking. Native Codex stop can follow as its own proposal once a maintainer approves that scope. Ideally it would add a per-provider capability, with the adapter finalizing the child itself rather than the orchestrator.
Smaller points:
- Wake behaviour. Interrupting the child run likely delivers an "interrupted" completion that wakes the parent. MCP
task_cancelsuppresses that notification instead. Please decide which behaviour Lineage Stop should have. - No touch access. The button only appears on hover or keyboard focus, so touch screens can't reach it.
CI is green, and the focused tests pass locally (66 server, 6 web, 39 client-runtime), so this is about scope and design, not failing checks.

Addressed Julius's review in 6237888.
141 focused tests pass, along with server/web type checks, targeted lint, formatting, and Ponytail review. The PR description now reflects the smaller scope. Scope approval remains your decision; no native-stop follow-up is included here. |

CI tested the merge with current main and found All 141 focused tests pass again. Web, desktop, and server type checks pass, as do targeted lint, formatting, and Ponytail review. The final PR still changes only the web component and its tests. The PR-size job failed on an API HTTP 500 and has been rerun. @coderabbitai full review |

Fixed the review test finding in ed876c3. Each activity-status iteration now clears the command calls and requires exactly one interrupt. All 7 tests in that file pass, plus targeted lint, formatting, and Ponytail review. The description now links the original scope request, the latest maintainer review, and the required Ideas proposal. I have not claimed approval or a small-fix exemption. Explicit maintainer approval remains pending. @coderabbitai review |

Approving at ed876c3. Julius approved the scope: stopping T3-owned subagents from Lineage.
The narrowed change resolves my earlier blockers. Stop now uses the existing child-thread run.interrupt, so there are no new commands, events, capabilities or locks. The button is now reachable on touch screens, and keeping the normal interrupted-completion wake is a reasonable choice.
Optional nit: a pending subagent with no run yet has nothing for Stop to interrupt. In that case interruptThreadTurn falls back to unwatching pull requests, so the click does nothing visible. Showing the button only for running/waiting would avoid that.
CI is green, and the focused tests pass locally (7).

Lineage shows active subagents but gives no way to stop a T3-owned child there.
Add a Stop control that calls the existing child-thread
run.interruptpath. It appears on hover or keyboard focus, and stays visible on coarse-pointer and no-hover screens. Native provider children and settled agents have no Stop control.Stop keeps normal child completion delivery. The parent receives the interrupted result and can wake as it already does after a child run is interrupted. It does not use MCP
task_cancel, which suppresses that delivery.Following Julius's review, this PR changes only the web component and its tests. The native stop command, persisted event, environment capability, server settlement branch, relay/projection handling, and ingestor locking have all been removed. Server, contracts, and shared runtime files match the PR base.
Verified with 141 focused tests, including child interruption and parent wake, server and web type checks, targeted lint, formatting, and Ponytail review. A real local browser check confirms keyboard access and generated touch media rules. Browser device presets change width only; they do not emulate a touch pointer.
Limits: web and desktop share this control. No native mobile control is added. Native child stopping needs a separate approved proposal. Scope approval is requested in the Ideas discussion and remains pending. See the original maintainer request and the latest review. This PR follows the suggested smaller implementation: a Lineage control for T3-owned children using the existing child-run interrupt path.
Replaces #13652.
