Problem

When an agent cancels one queued delegated-task completion message (t3_queue with action: "cancel", or Remove on the queued message), the server disposed the whole completion cohort of the run that spawned the task. Sibling tasks from that run that were still running were marked disposed too. When they finished, their results were saved but never woke the parent.

Reproduction: a parent run starts async tasks A and B. A finishes while the parent is busy, so A's completion wake is queued. Cancel that queued wake, then let B finish. B's result is saved with completionDelivery: disposed, and the parent is never woken.

Change

• dispatchQueuedRunCancel now disposes only the tasks the cancelled message carries. It passes the message's taskIds to disposeDelegatedCompletionCohort as interruptedWakeTaskIds, which the interrupt path already uses for the same case.
• The cancel then cancels the requested run itself, using the existing emitQueuedRunCancellation. This replaces a copy of those events that was written out inline.
• When the cancelled run ends, finalizeDelegatedCompletionDelivery clears the delivery, or reserves a new one for a sibling that finished in the meantime. A sibling that finishes later gets a new wake.
• thread.settle also cancels queued wakes through this function, and it keeps disposing the whole cohort (disposes: "cohort"). A sibling that finishes after the user settled the thread still cannot wake it and unsettle it.
• Stop and interrupt are unchanged.

Scope and approval

Fixes #32806

Triaged via the automated issue flow.

Verification

Tests

Two tests in apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/DelegatedCompletionDelivery.test.ts, under "interrupted completion wakes":

• "cancelling a queued completion wake keeps its other siblings": queues A's wake while sibling B runs, then sends queued-run.cancel. It asserts A is disposed, B is not, and the cohort stays open. It then completes B and asserts the parent gets a new delivery carrying only B. With main's orchestrator it fails: expected 'disposed' to not equal 'disposed'.
• "settling with a queued completion wake disposes its running siblings": settles with A's wake queued and B running, asserts the wake is cancelled once and B is disposed, then completes B and asserts no new run and that the thread stays settled. It guards settle and fails if settle disposed per message: expected undefined to equal 'disposed'.

Results on the final head:

• DelegatedCompletionDelivery.test.ts: 43/43 passed.
• vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (3 packages) and 5 test files (63 tests) all pass.

Runtime evidence

Server-only change, so there are no screenshots. Both sides use the same RPC driver and a fresh database created by their own server, with T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 and the Replay (dev) provider, on Node v26.12.1 / Linux x86_64. Before is d1aeed2 (merge-base) and after is 4b2b494. After that, the branch only merged main, whose orchestrator change touches restart dispatch and not this path.

Row	Before d1aeed2	After 4b2b494	Transcript
C1 cancel A's queued wake, B finishes later (server)	A, B and the cohort are disposed. B's result never wakes the parent.	A is disposed. B and the cohort stay open. B's result produces exactly one new B-only message and run, which runs to completion.	C1.md
C2 B already pending outside the queued wake (harness)	Both tasks are disposed and there is no successor.	B is kept and a single B-only successor is reserved and started.	C2.md
C3 cancel a wake with no siblings left (server)	The cohort is disposed, the wake is cancelled once, and nothing replaces it.	Unchanged.	C3.md
S1 settle with A's wake queued and B running (server)	The whole cohort is disposed. B's late result starts no run and the thread stays settled.	Unchanged.	S1.md

C2 is a harness transcript on purpose. In production, a sibling that finishes while the wake is queued is merged into that wake (planner), so serial RPC cannot reach this state. The harness runs the real orchestrator, persistence, projection and continuation layers with a stub provider. C1 was independently reproduced from the uploaded driver during the proof audit.

Combined transcript: RT1.md. State checks: capture-validation.txt. Scripts (uploaded, not committed): rpc-driver.mjs, launch.mjs, stop-server.mjs, build-harness.py, C2-harness-run.mjs, C2-harness-main.ts, C2-harness-program.ts.

Verification log

• Review round 1 on 4b2b494: two independent reviewers, both MERGE, with no bugs found. They traced cancel, settle, Stop, interrupt, terminal finalization and recovery.
• Proof audit: pass 1 was insufficient (no runtime transcript). Pass 2, after the transcripts above, was sufficient.
• Not covered by a test: a cancel and a sibling finishing at the same moment. Review traced it through the planner and finalizer, and recovery covers it.
• CI: all 35 checks green on 01c23e8. CodeRabbit flagged that a cancelled wake carrying every in-flight task disposes the cohort, so a task the same parent run starts later cannot wake it. Main already behaves that way, and C3 shows it unchanged here. The rule lives in disposeDelegatedCompletionCohort, which the interrupt path shares, so changing it is out of scope for this fix and left as a follow-up.
• Unverified surfaces: none (server only).

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at a333305

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Removing a queued completion message preserves sibling tasks’ future notifications, while settling still prevents late results from reopening the thread. The change reuses existing cancellation mechanisms and has reported regression coverage for both cases.

No code changes detected at 01c23e8. Prior analysis still applies.

Walkthrough

Queued delegated-completion cancellation now disposes only the tasks carried by the wake and cancels the queued run. Thread settlement selects whole-cohort disposal. Tests cover both paths, including a sibling task that completes after cancellation.

Changes: Delegated Completion Cancellation

Verify wake and cohort cancellation apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/DelegatedCompletionDelivery.test.ts	A shared fixture sets up a queued completion wake and running sibling. Tests verify that wake-only cancellation preserves sibling delivery, while thread settlement keeps the delivery disposed after a late sibling result.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 01c23

Cancelling a queued completion message now keeps sibling tasks' wakes, and thread settlement still disposes the whole cohort. No new merge-blocking risk was found. The earlier published concern about a wake that carries every current task is still open and worth confirming.

Explanation

Issue #32806 requires cancelling a queued completion wake without disabling future wakes for sibling tasks not carried by that message. dispatchQueuedRunCancel passes the queued message's task IDs as interruptedWakeTaskIds for the default wake-only path, then cancels the queued run. The added test verifies that the carried task is disposed, the sibling remains eligible, and the sibling receives a new delivery after completion. The thread.settle caller explicitly selects cohort disposal, and its test verifies that a late sibling completion does not wake the settled thread.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff changes queued delegated-completion cancellation, retains whole-cohort disposal for thread.settle, and adds tests for both behaviors. These changes implement or verify issue #32806. The cancellation-event refactor uses the existing emitQueuedRunCancellation helper and is part of cancelling the requested queued run. No unrelated change is established by the diff.

Keep the cohort open after wake-scoped cancellation.

If a queued wake carries every current task, cancellation disposes the cohort. The active parent can then spawn another async task, but its completion is disposed instead of waking the thread.

Keep an open cohort open for wake-scoped cancellation even when no sibling exists yet. Preserve whole-cohort disposal for settlement and Stop.
