When the agent is idle and a backgrounded execution completes, the
completion output is now automatically submitted as a new turn
instead of being silently dropped. Uses the same InjectionService
listener pattern as user steering hints.
Non-shell executions rely on the onBackground listener to register
in the UI panel. Adding their PID to backgroundedPids before firing
the listener caused them to be skipped and disappear from the UI.
Introduce inject/notify/silent completion behaviors that control what
happens when a backgrounded execution completes:
- inject: full output injected into conversation, auto-dismiss from UI
- notify: short pointer message injected (e.g. log file path), auto-dismiss
- silent: nothing injected, stays in Ctrl+B until manually dismissed
Shell commands use 'notify' (output saved to log file), remote agents
will use 'inject' (full output reinjected). Default is 'silent' when
no formatInjection callback is provided.
Add onBackground event to ExecutionLifecycleService that fires when any
execution is moved to the background. The CLI subscribes to this event
and automatically registers background tasks in the UI — no per-tool
changes needed.
Any tool that calls ExecutionLifecycleService.createExecution() or
attachExecution() now automatically gets Ctrl+B support. Shell-specific
concerns (PTY log files) stay in ShellExecutionService.
Forward setExecutionIdCallback through SubAgentInvocation so agents
can expose their execution ID to the scheduler for backgrounding.
Route registerBackgroundTask and dismissBackgroundTask through
ExecutionLifecycleService instead of ShellExecutionService for
agnostic subscribe/onExit/kill support.
Remove legacy onUserHint/offUserHint/addUserHint methods. All callers
now use addInjection(text, source) and onInjection/offInjection with
source-based filtering where needed.
The agent loop in local-executor now listens via onInjection (all sources)
instead of onUserHint (steering only), picking up background completions
between turns. This removes the separate bg completion useEffect, refs,
state, and callback from AppContainer entirely.
Wire ExecutionLifecycleService.setInjectionService() in Config constructor
so backgrounded executions inject directly via settleExecution instead of
routing through a useEffect bridge in AppContainer.
Rename UserHintService to InjectionService as a generic, source-agnostic
injection mechanism. InjectionService supports typed sources ('user_steering'
and 'background_completion') with source-specific gating — user_steering
respects the model steering toggle while background_completion always fires.
Add background completion lifecycle to ExecutionLifecycleService: tracks
backgrounded executions, fires onBackgroundComplete listeners when they
settle, and supports FormatInjectionFn callbacks so execution creators
control how their output is formatted for reinjection.
Wire AppContainer to route background completions through InjectionService
and submit them to the model when idle, independent of model steering.
