Summary

  • add a compact driver capability contract for sessions, interruption, model/effort overrides, permissions, and MCP support
  • make active turns cancellable through a manager-owned abort signal and native provider interruption
  • map cancellation across Codex, Claude, OpenCode 1/2, Pi, and ACP and persist it as stopped
  • add agent.stop to the daemon/client protocol and devspace agents stop <id> to the CLI/subagent skill
  • bound stop below the client deadline and report a conflict when the provider kept running or the turn finished normally, instead of claiming it stopped

Validation

  • pnpm typecheck
  • pnpm test (149 passed, 1 skipped)
  • pnpm build

Stacked on #381.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added devspace agents stop <id> to stop an active agent turn. The agent record remains available and is marked as stopped.
    • Added JSON output support for the stop command.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Stopping an agent now interrupts active work and records the turn as stopped rather than failed.
    • Cancellation is handled across supported local agent providers, including when a provider does not promptly respond to an interrupt request.

Priority: Normal

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 30dd9

Stopping one agent can interrupt another ACP agent, and an OpenCode agent may be reported stopped without confirmation that its work ended. Resolve these cancellation paths before merging.

Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 4a7ed

The new stop operation retains access checks, but startup races and interruption failures can let work continue after cancellation or appear stopped prematurely. The consequences depend on the permissions already granted to that work.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: If stopping overlaps Codex turn startup and the subsequent turn/interrupt request rejects, runTurn exits without awaiting turn/completed and removes its tracking entry. The runtime converts that rejection to cancellation, allowing stopped persistence and ownership release without confirming native termination. Work could therefore continue with its existing filesystem and network authority after a successful stop response. This bypass is introduced by the new cancellation path; ordinary execution still waits for completion.
  • Medium · security · inferred: A stop during session creation or configuration can invoke native interruption before a prompt exists, yet ACP, Claude, and Pi subsequently submit the prompt without checking the aborted signal. The one-time cancellation binding does not ensure another interruption after submission. Unless the native API latches cancellation for future prompts, cancelled work can still begin and perform permitted actions; post-response cancellation checks only change the eventual recorded outcome.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated cancellation hazards concern authorized local work, not a newly established remote or cross-tenant entrypoint. Continuing Codex work retains its configured authority: read-only by default, workspace writes with network access when allowed, or full access when explicitly configured. Full-access exposure can extend beyond the selected workspace; cancellation does not reduce those permissions.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An authenticated caller can request stop while a potentially unsafe prompt is starting. If the native interrupt is rejected or occurs before prompt submission, the new cancellation path may fail to contain the work. For Codex startup rejection, stopped state can be reported without a terminal event. Successful interruption normally retains completion waiting, so this is a failure-path concern rather than a claim that every stop is ineffective.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Protocol-version and authentication checks precede dispatch. Stop resolves the record through the existing scope check, which compares the normalized root and any supplied workspace ID. Configured allowed-root enforcement is conditional on a supplied workspace ID; this shared helper is not a new stop-specific permission grant.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The manager cancellation test demonstrates stopped persistence using a fake runtime that settles on abort. The inspected Claude and Pi fakes have no-op interruption methods. This coverage does not establish native termination after rejected interruption or cancellation during setup, which are the decisive containment gaps.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make terminal cancellation require native termination confirmation or a containment fallback before releasing turn ownership. Gate prompt submission on cancellation state, and distinguish interruption failure from confirmed stopped state. Validate these guarantees with setup-time abort, rejected interruption, delayed acknowledgement, and stop/continue concurrency scenarios.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 2/5

[High risk] Adds agent cancellation and capability declarations across runtime drivers.

Not safe to merge until local cancellation, post-stop prompt submission, and ACP stop settlement are fixed. The misleading CLI timeout is a separate, non-blocking concern.

Findings

  1. P1 Local cancellation waits on OpenCode ▶
  2. P1 Stop still submits prompts ▶
  3. P1 ACP stop may never finish ▶
  4. P2 Stop reports a false timeout ▶

Summary

The new agent-stop path has three blocking cancellation failures: OpenCode can wait on a provider interrupt before cancelling its local prompt, Pi, Claude, and ACP can submit prompts after a stop during setup, and ACP stop can remain pending when a provider does not answer. A longer stop can also make the CLI report a timeout even though the agent is subsequently stopped.

Review comments at @src/local-agent-acp.ts:
- Around line 147-149: After openSession resolves and before starting
session/prompt, check whether input.signal is already aborted; if so, throw
localAgentCancelledError for the run so a cancellation during session creation
cannot proceed into provider work.

Review comments at @src/local-agent-codex.ts:
- Around line 388-391: Update the post-`turn/start` interrupt handling in
`CodexAppServerRuntime.run` so an interrupt failure cannot cause the manager to
persist the turn as stopped while the pooled Codex runtime may still be running
it. Keep the turn running until a terminal event is observed, or terminate the
runtime before allowing stopped persistence, and retain the interrupt failure
for diagnostics.

Review comments at @src/local-agent-manager.ts:
- Around line 266-296: Update LocalAgentManager.stop so awaiting
active.completion is bounded by a manager-level timeout. After completion,
refresh the record and return an AgentConflictError if its status is not
stopped; preserve the already-stopped fast path and existing error results.

…rovider instance name

A profile named like its provider instance won target resolution on start but
was treated as a raw provider run on continue, dropping its instructions and
its disabled check. Resolve the profile first on continue too.

Also make the migrated local_agent_sessions.driver column NOT NULL so migrated
databases enforce the same invariant as fresh ones.

A cached probe could keep routing new runtimes to the previous protocol
generation after OpenCode was upgraded while the daemon stayed up. Runtime
creation already spawns a server, so one extra --version call is negligible.

Also report spawn failures other than ENOENT with their cause.

… message

OpenCode 2 records a turn that fails before any assistant output (for example
an expired provider login) as a failed idle message. The assistant-only listing
hid it and the run ended with a misleading protocol error. Read the failed idle
message and surface its error.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Abort the local OpenCode request before awaiting the provider's abort so a
stalled provider call cannot keep the turn pending. Do not submit a prompt to
Pi, Claude, Codex, or ACP once stop was requested during setup. Give ACP
providers a grace period to answer session/cancel before dropping the process.
A failed Codex interrupt no longer reports the turn as stopped.

The manager bounds how long stop waits (below the client deadline) and reports
a conflict instead of success when the turn kept running or finished normally.

Review comments at @src/local-agent-acp.ts:
- Around line 160-171: Update AcpLocalAgentDriver’s runtimePolicy to use agent
scope instead of workspace scope, keeping the existing authority and
idle-timeout settings unchanged so a timed-out cancellation only closes that
agent’s runtime.

Review comments at @src/local-agent-opencode-v2.ts:
- Around line 179-202: Update the `bindLocalAgentAbort` callback and
`manager.stop` flow to keep `controller.abort()` immediate while propagating the
native `session.interrupt` outcome. Return retryable `AGENT_CONFLICT` if
interruption fails or exceeds the stop deadline; treat `interrupted: false` as
the documented idle no-op, not as evidence that provider work continues.

Review comments at @src/local-agent-opencode.ts:
- Around line 129-145: Update the abort callback in the local OpenCode request
flow so it aborts the local controller only after `this.client.session.abort`
succeeds. Enable native abort errors to propagate rather than suppressing them,
so cancellation is not reported as successful before the OpenCode session is
interrupted.

A continued v2 turn that fails before output no longer returns the
previous turn's assistant message, and the version probe reads output
after stdio closes rather than on exit.

A stop that outlives the cancel grace period closes the runtime, which
must not end other agents' turns sharing the same workspace.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The local request now ends only once the native abort (v1) or interrupt
(v2) succeeds. A failed or stalled one keeps the turn running, so the
manager reports a stop conflict instead of a false stopped state.
