fix(app): surface nested subagent asks at the root and nest running subagents - #60
Conversation
The session view loaded pending permission requests only for the viewed session, while forms were loaded for its whole subagent tree. A subagent's permission that was asked before the view loaded stayed hidden until that exact subagent was opened. Load permissions for every session in the tree, as forms already are, so the root shows and answers asks from subagents at any depth that the data layer has indexed.
The header's running menu listed only the subagents its owner started. Subagents those subagents started never appeared, and running work under a subagent that had already finished was dropped. List every running session below each subagent, nested under the subagent that started it at any depth, and keep a finished subagent as an uncounted, unstoppable parent row while work it started still runs.
A background tab loaded pending asks only for its root session, so a subagent that asked before the app loaded never marked the tab as needing attention. And a tab that last showed one subagent reopened there, where an ask from another subagent or the root cannot be answered. Load the asks of a background tab's running subagents, and when its session tree waits on an ask, reopen the tab at the root, which shows every ask in the tree.
The worktree settings listed every session in a worktree in one flat list, so subagent sessions at any depth were mixed in among the sessions that started them. List each session followed by its subagent sessions, indented one step per level.

Explanation
The description includes all required sections, explains the changes and rationale, identifies intentional scope limits, and provides detailed verification results. It does not include an actual screenshot or recording, but it explains that the UI changes are covered by end-to-end regressions, so this is non-critical.

Finished-ancestor state needs correction, and fresh-load grandchild support still requires verification with the companion data-layer change.

lint:changed fails when a touched GUI file has any oxlint problem. Move the running-session tree and the session.created test event into new, clean files instead of editing background.ts and the shared e2e timeline utils, reach a tab routed to a subagent through the UI instead of a new seed option in e2e/utils/app.ts, and justify the existing type assertions in paths.test.ts with SAFETY comments. No behavior changes.
A background subagent stays listed until its completion notice reaches the parent's history. When it had already finished but work it started still ran, the menu marked it running anyway, so it was counted, animated and given an interrupt button. Take the running flag from the session tree for listed subagents, and keep counting a listed subagent the tree does not know until its notice arrives.

🔵 Needs a closer look
Fresh-load grandchild discovery depends on still-unmerged PR #64 and needs final integration validation.
No open issues 🎉

Issue for this PR
No issue. Requested directly: asks from nested subsessions should bubble up to the root, and every view that lists subsessions should show them nested.
Type of change
What does this PR do?
Subagents can now launch their own subagents, so session trees go root → child → grandchild. The web and desktop app still assumed one level in a few places.
padding-inline-start, so it mirrors in RTL.Views left top-level only on purpose:
Tabs hold root sessions, and subagents open inside their root's tab at any depth. The breadcrumb, titlebar, Escape-to-parent and subagent cards already worked at any depth.
Depends on #64 for grandchildren on a fresh load. That PR makes the shared data layer (
@opencode/client/solid) find a root's whole subtree. Without it, the client loads only direct children at startup, so a grandchild's earlier ask appears once it is created live or its parent is opened. This PR's logic is already correct for a fully loaded tree.How did you verify your code works?
session-request-docks.spec.ts: a child's pending permission is visible and answerable on the root after a fresh load.timeline-stream.spec.ts: the running menu nests three levels, keeps a finished parent with its running child, stops a nested session and opens a nested row.tabs.spec.ts: a background tab's dot lights up for a subagent's earlier ask and reopens at the root. Removing only the reopen-at-root logic fails a separate assertion.paths.test.ts: Worktrees nesting order.bun typecheckinpackages/appandbun run checkat the root: pass.test:browser: 173 pass.test:unit: 760 pass, 1 fail. "recovers project metadata after the connection to the server is dropped" fails the same way on the base commit and loads none of these files.Screenshots / recordings
Covered by the e2e regressions above. The running menu change is indentation within the existing menu.
