feat(agents): use inject completion behavior for remote agent backgrounding

Set completionBehavior: 'inject' on remote agent executions so their full output is reinjected into the conversation when they complete in the background, and the task auto-dismisses from the Ctrl+B panel.

-# Local Model Routing (experimental)
-
-Gemini CLI supports using a local model for
-[routing decisions](../cli/model-routing.md). When configured, Gemini CLI will
-use a locally-running **Gemma** model to make routing decisions (instead of
-sending routing decisions to a hosted model).
-
-This feature can help reduce costs associated with hosted model usage while
-offering similar routing decision latency and quality.
-
-> **Note: Local model routing is currently an experimental feature.**
-
-## Setup
-
-Using a Gemma model for routing decisions requires that an implementation of a
-Gemma model be running locally on your machine, served behind an HTTP endpoint
-and accessed via the Gemini API.
-
-To serve the Gemma model, follow these steps:
-
-### Download the LiteRT-LM runtime
-
-The [LiteRT-LM](https://github.com/google-ai-edge/LiteRT-LM) runtime offers
-pre-built binaries for locally-serving models. Download the binary appropriate
-for your system.
-
-#### Windows
-
-1. Download
-   [lit.windows_x86_64.exe](https://github.com/google-ai-edge/LiteRT-LM/releases/download/v0.9.0-alpha03/lit.windows_x86_64.exe).
-2. Using GPU on Windows requires the DirectXShaderCompiler. Download the
-   [dxc zip from the latest release](https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/releases/download/v1.8.2505.1/dxc_2025_07_14.zip).
-   Unzip the archive and from the architecture-appropriate `bin\` directory, and
-   copy the `dxil.dll` and `dxcompiler.dll` into the same location as you saved
-   `lit.windows_x86_64.exe`.
-3. (Optional) Test starting the runtime:
-   `.\lit.windows_x86_64.exe serve --verbose`
-
-#### Linux
-
-1. Download
-   [lit.linux_x86_64](https://github.com/google-ai-edge/LiteRT-LM/releases/download/v0.9.0-alpha03/lit.linux_x86_64).
-2. Ensure the binary is executable: `chmod a+x lit.linux_x86_64`
-3. (Optional) Test starting the runtime: `./lit.linux_x86_64 serve --verbose`
-
-#### MacOS
-
-1. Download
-   [lit-macos-arm64](https://github.com/google-ai-edge/LiteRT-LM/releases/download/v0.9.0-alpha03/lit.macos_arm64).
-2. Ensure the binary is executable: `chmod a+x lit.macos_arm64`
-3. (Optional) Test starting the runtime: `./lit.macos_arm64 serve --verbose`
-
-> **Note**: MacOS can be configured to only allows binaries from "App Store &
-> Known Developers". If you encounter an error message when attempting to run
-> the binary, you will need to allow the application. One option is to visit
-> `System Settings -> Privacy & Security`, scroll to `Security`, and click
-> `"Allow Anyway"` for `"lit.macos_arm64"`. Another option is to run
-> `xattr -d com.apple.quarantine lit.macos_arm64` from the commandline.
-
-### Download the Gemma Model
-
-Before using Gemma, you will need to download the model (and agree to the Terms
-of Service).
-
-This can be done via the LiteRT-LM runtime.
-
-#### Windows
-
-```bash
-$ .\lit.windows_x86_64.exe pull gemma3-1b-gpu-custom
-
-[Legal] The model you are about to download is governed by
-the Gemma Terms of Use and Prohibited Use Policy. Please review these terms and ensure you agree before continuing.
-
-Full Terms: https://ai.google.dev/gemma/terms
-Prohibited Use Policy: https://ai.google.dev/gemma/prohibited_use_policy
-
-Do you accept these terms? (Y/N): Y
-
-Terms accepted.
-Downloading model 'gemma3-1b-gpu-custom' ...
-Downloading... 968.6 MB
-Download complete.
-```
-
-#### Linux
-
-```bash
-$ ./lit.linux_x86_64 pull gemma3-1b-gpu-custom
-
-[Legal] The model you are about to download is governed by
-the Gemma Terms of Use and Prohibited Use Policy. Please review these terms and ensure you agree before continuing.

-Download complete.
-```
-
-#### MacOS
-
-```bash
-$ ./lit.lit.macos_arm64 pull gemma3-1b-gpu-custom
-
-[Legal] The model you are about to download is governed by
-the Gemma Terms of Use and Prohibited Use Policy. Please review these terms and ensure you agree before continuing.

-Do you accept these terms? (Y/N): Y
-
-Terms accepted.
-Downloading model 'gemma3-1b-gpu-custom' ...
-Downloading... 968.6 MB
-Download complete.
-```
-
-### Start LiteRT-LM Runtime
-
-Using the command appropriate to your system, start the LiteRT-LM runtime.
-Configure the port that you want to use for your Gemma model. For the purposes
-of this document, we will use port `9379`.
-
-Example command for MacOS: `./lit.macos_arm64 serve --port=9379 --verbose`
-
-### (Optional) Verify Model Serving
-
-Send a quick prompt to the model via HTTP to validate successful model serving.
-This will cause the runtime to download the model and run it once.
-
-You should see a short joke in the server output as an indicator of success.
-
-#### Windows
-
-```
-# Run this in PowerShell to send a request to the server
-
-$uri = "http://localhost:9379/v1beta/models/gemma3-1b-gpu-custom:generateContent"
-$body = @{contents = @( @{
-  role = "user"
-  parts = @( @{ text = "Tell me a joke." } )
-})} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10
-
-Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method Post -Body $body -ContentType "application/json"
-```
-
-#### Linux/MacOS
-
-```bash
-$ curl "http://localhost:9379/v1beta/models/gemma3-1b-gpu-custom:generateContent" \
-  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-  -X POST \
-  -d '{"contents":[{"role":"user","parts":[{"text":"Tell me a joke."}]}]}'
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-To use a local Gemma model for routing, you must explicitly enable it in your
-`settings.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "experimental": {
-    "gemmaModelRouter": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "classifier": {
-        "host": "http://localhost:9379",
-        "model": "gemma3-1b-gpu-custom"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-> Use the port you started your LiteRT-LM runtime on in the setup steps.
-
-### Configuration schema
-
-| Field              | Type    | Required | Description                                                                                |
-| :----------------- | :------ | :------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `enabled`          | boolean | Yes      | Must be `true` to enable the feature.                                                      |
-| `classifier`       | object  | Yes      | The configuration for the local model endpoint. It includes the host and model specifiers. |
-| `classifier.host`  | string  | Yes      | The URL to the local model server. Should be `http://localhost:<port>`.                    |
-| `classifier.model` | string  | Yes      | The model name to use for decisions. Must be `"gemma3-1b-gpu-custom"`.                     |
-
-> **Note: You will need to restart after configuration changes for local model
-> routing to take effect.**

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Adam Weidman	6ba10692b1	feat(agents): use inject completion behavior for remote agent backgrounding Set completionBehavior: 'inject' on remote agent executions so their full output is reinjected into the conversation when they complete in the background, and the task auto-dismisses from the Ctrl+B panel.	2026-03-16 18:04:33 -04:00
Adam Weidman	4f2a1ad214	feat(agents): integrate remote agent backgrounding with InjectionService Register remote agent executions with ExecutionLifecycleService, enabling backgrounding, subscription, and kill support. Provide a formatInjection callback so completed background remote agent output is automatically reinjected into the model conversation via InjectionService.	2026-03-16 18:04:33 -04:00
Adam Weidman	0215f0ddbd	feat(core): enable shell background completion injection With the idle wake-up listener in place, shell background completions can now use 'inject' to feed output back into the model conversation when the agent is idle.	2026-03-16 18:03:12 -04:00
Adam Weidman	b341d48a1e	feat(cli): auto-restart agent on background task completion 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.	2026-03-16 18:02:34 -04:00
Adam Weidman	aabc27c12d	fix(core): set shell background completionBehavior to silent Shell background completions are set to silent until the idle wake-up listener is in place, otherwise injections get buffered but never consumed when the agent is idle.	2026-03-16 17:56:58 -04:00
Adam Weidman	6362e3cc15	fix: remove duplicate rebase artifacts in executionLifecycleService Remove duplicated import, field, method, and injection call that were introduced by rebase conflict resolution.	2026-03-16 12:04:39 -04:00
Adam Weidman	8751910572	refactor(core): move background injection from UI to ExecutionLifecycleService settleExecution now calls injectionService.addInjection() directly when a backgrounded execution completes, removing the bridge useEffect from AppContainer. The UI just wires the injection service once at init via setInjectionService().	2026-03-16 12:04:39 -04:00
Adam Weidman	708d0e7016	feat(core): add CompletionBehavior for background task injection control 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.	2026-03-16 12:04:39 -04:00
Adam Weidman	d68cc3a88f	feat(cli): make background task UI agnostic to execution type 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.	2026-03-16 12:04:39 -04:00
Adam Weidman	6510587725	refactor(core): replace positional execute params with ExecuteOptions bag Collapse shellExecutionConfig and setExecutionIdCallback into a single optional ExecuteOptions object on ToolInvocation.execute(). This avoids forcing every tool implementation to accept shell-specific parameters just to reach later positional args.	2026-03-16 12:01:39 -04:00
Adam Weidman	1d86b6504b	test(core): add integration tests for background completion injection flow Tests cover XML tag wrapping with safety instruction, ordering (background completions before user hints), and source filtering to prevent background output from leaking into user hint getters.	2026-03-16 11:57:36 -04:00
Adam Weidman	1dc55b278b	fix(core): harden injection safety and listener resilience Wrap background completion output in <background_output> XML tags with inline instructions to treat as data, consistent with <user_input> tags used for user steering hints. Guard listener iteration in InjectionService.addInjection and ExecutionLifecycleService.settleExecution with try/catch so a throwing listener doesn't block subsequent listeners or crash the caller.	2026-03-16 11:00:52 -04:00
Adam Weidman	2727a871c3	fix(core): source-aware injection getters, fix unshift ordering, remove dead code Rename getUserHints/getUserHintsAfter/getLatestHintIndex to getInjections/getInjectionsAfter/getLatestInjectionIndex with optional source filter so bg completions don't get formatted as user hints. Swap unshift ordering so bg completions appear before user hints in the message — the model sees context before the user's reaction to it. Remove unused getLastUserHintAt().	2026-03-15 22:16:38 -04:00
Adam Weidman	8fcb18996a	refactor(core): unify InjectionService API to single onInjection interface Remove legacy onUserHint/offUserHint/addUserHint methods. All callers now use addInjection(text, source) and onInjection/offInjection with source-based filtering where needed.	2026-03-15 21:38:11 -04:00
Adam Weidman	f46a1c7e8b	refactor(core): move background completion consumption from UI to agent loop 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.	2026-03-15 15:43:34 -04:00
Adam Weidman	8b7321ea8d	refactor(core): move background injection wiring from UI to backend Wire ExecutionLifecycleService.setInjectionService() in Config constructor so backgrounded executions inject directly via settleExecution instead of routing through a useEffect bridge in AppContainer.	2026-03-15 15:11:13 -04:00
Adam Weidman	931b80206b	refactor(core): rename UserHintService to InjectionService and add background completion support 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.	2026-03-12 13:23:52 -04:00
