An omitted maxDepth meant unbounded recursion, and the shipped examples
shipped that default. maxDepth now defaults to 1; a numeric cap requires
the provider's depthLimit capability (the mount fails loud and points to
the explicit 'provider-managed' opt-out for out-of-process providers),
and a child AT the cap loses the delegating tool from its own schema via
the child toolFilter — prompt-face hiding on top of the execution-face
depth check. Examples pin maxDepth explicitly. The ACP snapshot harness
gains Scenario.childToolOmissions so a child session may legitimately
omit declared delegation tools from its pinned header and prompt;
affected subagent/workflow goldens are re-recorded.
A subagent child's recursion depth lived only in runtime AgentOptions,
so a persisted child came back from resume counted as top-level and
maxDepth stopped binding after every restart. Add
SessionHeader.delegationDepth, round-trip it through the JSONL and
SQLite backends (SQLite schema v5), restore it on agent-loop resume,
and write it when the in-process backends create a child. The seam now
owns the shared depth vocabulary (delegationDepthOf): the persisted
header is authoritative and monotone — runtime options may deepen it
but never lower it.
Combine agent initiator scoping and exact Cordis JSDoc inspection with post-step compaction and bounded request recovery.
Regenerate the Cordis and website API catalogs, and classify the recovery and compaction types required by the current catalog link-coverage gate.
Name the runnable leaf for the line-oriented front door it owns, matching the existing tui-agent and acp-agent organization. Move the complete config, Code Mode overlay, tests, metadata, and generated composition graph together, then update every loader path and repository reference.
Keep the shared model identity independent of its terminal front door by phrasing the persona as a coding-agent role rather than retaining the retired leaf name. Regenerate graph and tool catalogs and re-record each affected bilingual pair so derived documentation cannot point at the removed path.
Master unifies every live agent with its exact SessionId and moves declarative startup failures to agent-loop/config-start-failed. Keeping the branch’s AgentId label binding would let the TUI target the wrong lifecycle after reload and would miss asynchronous resume failures.
Resolve that contract migration by giving the selected terminal front door the same generated or resumed SessionId as agent-core, mounting the front door first, and entering fullscreen only after the matching root appears. Refresh the source-derived catalogs and keyless terminal goldens so Code Mode, workflow, Cordis-tool, and transient UI scenarios all exercise the merged identity model.
Model responses, replayed session data, tool presenter output, question metadata, configuration, and diagnostics all cross into ANSI-aware pi-tui renderers. Passing their C0 or C1 controls through unchanged lets an otherwise ordinary transcript emit OSC, CSI, cursor, or title operations in the user terminal.
Introduce one displayText boundary that preserves line-feed layout but renders every other C0/C1 control as visible \\xNN text before application styling is applied. Route transcript blocks, streaming output, tool cards, diffs, plans, dialogs, headers, cwd/title data, notices, errors, and pre-mount startup failures through that boundary while leaving pi-tui and the theme responsible for legitimate terminal control sequences.
Pin the contract at three levels: a settled headless-terminal golden spans the main untrusted display sources, unit coverage checks the pre-fullscreen failure path, and the real Loader/PTY conversation streams hostile OSC, cursor, and C1 probes and proves only their inert textual forms reach the terminal stream.
