@@ -41,6 +41,7 @@ The gateway serialises agent work **per session**, not per WebSocket connection:
- The gateway `agent.send` command path and channel-router path use the same runtime backend-mode command service; `flynn tui` forwards `/runtime ...` through this gateway path for parity.
- Backend routing and fallback outcomes are emitted to audit logs (`backend.route`, `backend.success`, `backend.fallback`) for rollout evaluation; this telemetry is outside JSON-RPC response payloads.
- Session-start memory injection (`user/profile` + `user/working`) is server-side and controlled by `memory.user_namespace`; it does not affect protocol payloads.
- Multi-turn child agents are exposed through tool calls (`subagent.spawn/send/list/cancel/delete`) inside the agent loop; they do not add new JSON-RPC methods.
This is implemented via a per-lane queue (`LaneQueue`) in the gateway server, and used by `agent.send` and `agent.cancel`.

- Backend routing outcomes are auditable via `backend.route` / `backend.success` / `backend.fallback`, which enables offline canary evaluation without changing gateway protocol methods.
- Run lifecycle/cancel intent and reaction decisions are emitted to audit logs, and aggregated into `system.metrics` counters (runStates, cancelLatencyMs, reactions) for dashboards.
- Reaction matching is deterministic (priority + cooldown + recursion guard) before intent/agent routing.
- `subagent.*` tools create child orchestrators scoped to the parent conversation (`subagent:<parentSessionId>:<childId>`); this is tool-loop behavior, not a separate gateway RPC session lane.
- Companion `node.*` registration is per WebSocket connection; reconnects must re-register capabilities before invoking node RPC methods.
- Canvas artifacts are persisted per session under the gateway data directory for UI recovery across restarts.
- TTS output is best-effort; synthesis failures fall back to text-only responses.

# Subagents Support Plan (Flynn)
Date: 2026-02-26
Status: phase 1 implemented
Scope: add OpenClaw-style multi-turn subagent session support in Flynn without changing channel surface scope (Telegram-first)
## Constraints
1. Keep channel scope unchanged (Telegram remains default for now).
2. Deliver subagent capability through the existing native tool loop.
3. Keep gateway protocol additive-only (no new JSON-RPC methods required).
## Phase 1 (Implemented in this change)
1. Added subagent runtime manager (`src/backends/native/subagents.ts`) that can:
- spawn child sessions,
- send follow-up turns,
- list active child sessions,
- cancel in-flight child runs,
- delete child sessions.
2. Added new tools:
- `subagent.spawn`
- `subagent.send`
- `subagent.list`
- `subagent.cancel`
- `subagent.delete`
3. Wired tools into per-session router orchestration (`src/daemon/routing.ts`).
4. Added config guardrails under `agents.subagents`:
- `enabled`
- `max_active_sessions`
5. Added policy/profile support so `subagent.*` is controlled through `group:agents` and tool profiles.
## Phase 2 (Next)
1. Add per-subagent TTL/idle eviction and auto-cleanup metrics.
2. Add optional transcript export/summarization (`subagent.summary`).
3. Add per-subagent tool-profile override (read-only by default for risky workloads).
4. Add parent-child trace IDs in audit events for easier debugging.
## Phase 3 (Stretch)
1. Add queue semantics for child sessions (`followup` vs `interrupt` per subagent).
2. Add explicit resource budgets (token/time) per child session.
3. Add UI affordances in gateway chat for subagent session inspection.
## Acceptance Criteria (Phase 1)
1. Parent agent can spawn and continue a child subagent across multiple turns.
2. Child session state is isolated and delete clears history.
3. Recursion tooling (`agent.delegate`, `council.run`, `subagent.*`) is removed from child registries.
4. Tests cover manager lifecycle, tool behavior, config parsing, and policy profile inclusion.
