Follow-up to https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/26182, addressing CodeRabbit's unresolved Major there. When a thread's runtime mode changed, only the root OpenCode session got new permission rules. OpenCode (v1.15.13 tool/task.ts) copies the parent's rules into a subagent session only when it creates one, and a task resumed with task_id reuses that session unchanged. So a subagent started under Full access kept *: allow after the thread switched to Supervised, both while it was still running and when the parent resumed it later.

Fix:

• applyPermissionRules now also rewrites every subagent session descended from the session whose policy it updates. As before, it skips the session.update when the rules haven't changed.
• openCodeChildPermissionRules takes the parent rules previously written into the child and drops them before applying the new parent policy. Child-only restrictions such as task: deny are kept.
• Side effect: a turn sent directly to a subagent thread now gets child rules. Before, it got root rules, which also dropped task: deny.

Tests: an adapter test where a subagent is created under Full access and the thread then resumes under Supervised (the child's bash must become ask and task must stay deny), plus a unit case for re-deriving child rules. Both failed on main.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 2806256

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — OpenCode subagent sessions now follow runtime-mode changes while retaining their own restrictions. This aligns existing sessions with the selected policy without changing product defaults or introducing a new permission model.

Walkthrough

Permission rule application now traverses a thread’s descendants. Child rule calculation accounts for prior parent rules, and session updates occur only when computed rules differ from stored rules.

Changes: OpenCode permission rule propagation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Child rule inheritance packages/provider-opencode/src/server/adapter.ts	Thread state stores inherited permission rules. openCodeChildPermissionRules uses prior parent rules when determining which child rules to retain.
Descendant rule updates packages/provider-opencode/src/server/adapter.ts, packages/provider-opencode/src/server/adapter.test.ts	applyPermissionRules traverses descendants and updates sessions only when computed rules differ. Tests cover policy changes, update failures, and retaining the child’s task deny rule.

Pass the tracked inherited rules when reusing a child session.

A new tool part can carry an existing sessionId, so emitSubagent can reuse a child that was registered under Full access. The Full-access path writes *: allow to that native child. On reuse under Supervised, the call omits previousParentRules, so openCodeChildPermissionRules treats the old inherited *: allow as child-specific and writes it back into the Supervised permission rules.

Use the registered child's tracked inherited rules in this reuse path.
