fix(sdk,kernel): run authored agents in parallel under --local-agent - #554
Conversation
…ead of parking them
The local agent worker registered capacity 1 (the LLM worker too), and the
kernel never queues for a busy worker: the second concurrent f.agent/f.llm in
an authored body was admitted, found no free worker, and parked the run
("no worker is attached for step type agent").
- Local agent and LLM workers now hold DEFAULT_LOCAL_AGENT_CAPACITY (4)
dispatches; `flows run|resume --local-agent --agent-capacity <n>` (1-32)
sets it. The flag without --local-agent, or with --cloud, is refused.
- The authored body sizes its admission to that capacity (worker-slots.ts):
calls beyond it wait in-process, FIFO, for a slot before run.start, so the
body never asks the kernel for more than the worker holds. Threaded through
the durable root, the node runtime request, and resume.
Agents sharing a working directory still run one at a time for artifact
attribution (worker-cli.ts serializedByDirectory); they now complete instead
of parking, and LLM steps overlap. Real agent overlap needs f.agent's cwd,
which the kernel refuses today — a separate fix.

…ctories run side by side
`f.agent({ cwd })` and YAML `cwd` were documented and threaded by the SDK,
but the kernel's StepSpec had no such field, so every such step was refused
with `invalid_spec: unknown field "cwd"`. With every agent sharing the
runner's directory, the worker's per-directory serialization made concurrent
agents take turns even with spare capacity.
- Kernel: optional absolute `cwd` on agent steps, carried and dispatched like
`model`. A relative path is refused (RelativeStepCwd). Omitting it
serializes the step exactly as before; the step spec hash for a cwd-less
step is pinned to main's value.
- SDK: the authored surface resolves a relative `cwd` against the runner's
directory before submission.
- Test: two agents in distinct directories overlap at capacity 2 against a
real daemon (fails on a kernel without this change).

…starve lease renewal A 114-step task-graph run with parallel agents finished its body, then spent ~180 s in the completion gate without yielding. The root's lease renewal (timer-driven, same event loop) never fired, the lease lapsed, and the run was reaped as `crashed` although every step had succeeded. Profiled on a synthetic task-graph flow (map of subtask promises, each awaiting Promise.all of its deps, then a chain of steps), two terms were super-linear: 1. `aggregatesFor` asked `dependsOn(member, invocation)` per operation × per invocation × per combinator member; each call re-walked the member's whole ancestry (the single-entry cache never hit). Ancestries include every promise a step created while waiting (journal polling), so long steps made it far worse. Now one batch pass (`promise-ancestry.ts`): the upward closure of all members is visited once, cycles condensed with an iterative Tarjan, invocation sets propagated as bitsets. Same answers as the pairwise walk; cached per graph version. 2. `observeCallbackFailures` / `derivedWorkInFlight` scanned every tracked promise once per operation, and observed each settled promise once per operation whose roots overlap. Now one pass indexed by root, one observer per promise crediting every owning operation. The single-entry `dependenciesOf` cache is now also keyed by graph version, so it can no longer serve a walk from before the graph grew. Gate on the synthetic shape, 40/80/160 operations: 316/2 871/26 342 ms before, 20/36/68 ms after. Run-level gap between body return and completion (real daemon, 162 steps, 2 s steps): 4 468 ms before, 92 ms after. Tests: a gate-cost regression over a 160-operation task graph (fails at ~25 s before, bound 1 s), and a direct test of the reachability pass against the pairwise walk (cycles, >32 targets, a 200 000-deep chain). `causesOf` matches the accessor #553 adds, so that branch's addition collapses on rebase.

🟡 Relative YAML directories bypass preflight
A relative cwd passes flows check but fails at run.start. SDK preflight never enforces the kernel’s new absolute-path requirement.
Learn more
The kernel now requires every agent cwd to begin with /. YAML and JSON flow checks run through checkAuthoredFlow, which compiles the spec without invoking kernel validation. The SDK validator has no equivalent cwd rule, so check and run disagree.
Example: A YAML step containing cwd: worktrees/api receives an OK check report. Submitting the same compiled spec returns invalid_spec: agent step ... cwd must be an absolute path before the run starts.
Recommended fix: Add the same absolute-path validation to the SDK authoring validation used by compileSpec and flows check. Add a check/run regression test for relative YAML cwd; keep TypeScript f.agent behavior unchanged because it resolves relative values before compilation.

Fixed in 37f8c74. validate.ts now refuses a declarative agent cwd that is not absolute (steps[i].cwd: expected an absolute path), so flows check exits 2 instead of passing and failing at run.start. I chose refusal over resolving: resolving a YAML path against the checking directory would make the compiled spec and its hash depend on where check ran. f.agent is unchanged and still resolves before compiling. Tests: tests/agent-cwd-validation.test.ts (validator, plus a real flows check on a YAML flow).

When a Promise.all body fails or is aborted while more calls are waiting than workerCapacity, each waiting operation has already entered the running state before blocking in WorkerSlots.run. Consequently, stopAuthoredOperations cannot cancel it—it only cancels created operations—and instead waits while every queued agent is admitted and executed sequentially after the flow has already failed. This can prolong cancellation and run costly or side-effecting agent work that the failed body no longer needs; the slot queue needs a cancellation path tied to body teardown/the lifecycle signal.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed in 37f8c74. WorkerSlots.close(reason) rejects every queued waiter and refuses later admissions; work already holding a slot is not interrupted. The executor calls worker.stop(reason) on body failure and on a missing done(), before stopAuthoredOperations, so a queued (already running) operation settles as rejected and never reaches run.start. Test in authored-parallel-agents.test.ts: capacity 1, Promise.all of 3 agents, the body rejects at 100ms, and exactly 1 agent session runs. Without the fix all 3 ran (verified). There is also a unit test in worker-slots.test.ts.

With capacity greater than one, two steps whose cwd values name the same directory through different symlink aliases can now execute concurrently. The protection in worker-cli.ts keys directoryQueues by resolve(cwd), which only normalizes the path lexically and does not collapse symlinks, so /repo and /tmp/repo-link get separate queues. Their before/after snapshots can then include each other's writes and corrupt per-step artifact attribution; canonicalize the queue key with realpath before enabling parallel execution.

Fixed in 37f8c74, and widened. The queue now keys on realpath, and it also serializes any two trees where one contains the other, because the snapshot walks the whole subtree. An agent in /repo running alongside one in /repo/.wt/x had the same attribution problem as a symlink alias. Sibling trees still run side by side. Daemon-backed tests for both a symlink alias and a nested directory assert peak overlap 1; the existing distinct-directories test still asserts 2.
…e, overlapping trees serialize - Declarative agent `cwd` must be absolute at `flows check` (validate.ts), matching the kernel's run.start refusal instead of passing check and failing later. Refused rather than resolved against the checking directory, which would make the compiled spec and its hash depend on where the check ran; `f.agent` still resolves before compiling. (Devin) - WorkerSlots.close(reason) rejects queued and later admissions; the authored executor calls it on body failure and on a missing done(), before stopping operations. A queued call is already `running`, so operation cancellation could not reach it and it was admitted after the flow had failed. Test: capacity 1, three agents, body fails -> one ran, two never started (three ran without the fix). (Codex P1) - The per-directory artifact queue keys on the realpath and serializes any two trees where one contains the other: a symlink alias of the same directory, and a nested tree (an agent in /repo while another writes /repo/.wt/x), since the snapshot walks the whole subtree. Sibling trees still run side by side. Tests for both cases against a real daemon. (Codex P2) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Queued agent starts after body failure
Medium Severity
When a holder rejects and that rejection fails the body, run transfers the slot in finally before close runs. One queued f.agent or f.llm still reaches run.start after the flow has failed. Promise.all over more calls than capacity hits this path; only later waiters are refused.

Valid, and fixed in 09f892a. The slot was handed to the next waiter synchronously in finally, while the body failure reaches close() only through microtasks, so one queued agent could still start. The handoff now happens on setImmediate and re-checks closed. A waiter taken off the queue before close() is refused at that point and the slot is passed on, so it can neither run nor hang. Test in authored-parallel-agents.test.ts: capacity 1, three agents, the first session exits 1, and exactly one agent ever runs. On 37f8c74 the same test sees two, which reproduces this finding. There is also a unit test in worker-slots.test.ts.

Overlap lock misses unresolved nested cwd
Low Severity
The artifact lock uses realpath when that succeeds and the unresolved path when it does not. A symlink parent and a nested cwd that does not exist yet then compare as disjoint, so their snapshot intervals can overlap and credit the child's writes to the parent.

Valid, and fixed in 09f892a. The lock key is now canonicalTree(cwd), which resolves the deepest existing ancestor through realpath and keeps the missing tail, so /link/new becomes <real>/new and nests under /link. Unit test: tests/canonical-tree.test.ts (symlinked ancestor, missing two-level tail). For context, a CLI cannot actually spawn in a missing directory, so the overlap window was only the failed-spawn path, but the key should be right regardless.

Problem
An authored (TypeScript) flow could not run agents in parallel. Three separate defects stood in the way:
flows run --local-agentattached one agent worker and one LLM worker, each withcapacity: 1(local-agent.ts). A second agent/LLM step that became ready while the first was running found no free worker. The kernel parked it, and the authored executor treated the park as a failure (agent_parked). Cloud runs v2 flows through this same--local-agentpath, so the same limit applied there.f.agent({ cwd })was refused. The SDK threadedcwdinto the step spec (regression: dogfood f.agent completes success but produces zero diff (codex 33s, claude 155s) #357/fix(sdk,surface): thread cwd through f.agent → worker-cli.spawn (#357) #358), but the kernelStepSpechad no such field:invalid_spec: unknown field "cwd". Withoutcwd, every agent shares the process directory, andworker-cli.tsruns agents that share a directory one at a time (on purpose, so each file change is credited to the right step). So even with more capacity, agents still took turns.aggregatesForre-walked promise ancestry pairwise, andsettledFrom/inFlightFromscanned every tracked promise once per operation.

Changes kernel agent step validation, local worker concurrency, artifact locking, and authored completion gating—execution-critical paths with broad test coverage but non-trivial behavioral surface area.
Overview
Authored TypeScript flows can run multiple
f.agentandf.llmcalls in parallel underflows run|resume --local-agent, instead of parking overflow steps or stalling at completion.Concurrency: Local agent and LLM workers default to 4 simultaneous dispatches (each counted separately).
--agent-capacity <n>(1–32, requires--local-agent) threads through CLI, durable authored runs, and the Node child. A newWorkerSlotslimiter queues extra child admissions in-process beforerun.start, matching worker capacity so the kernel no longer parks withagent_parked. On body failure or missingdone(), slotscloseandstopso queued work is not admitted after teardown.Per-agent
cwd: The kernel accepts an optional absolutecwdon agent steps (relative paths refused in YAML and atflows check).f.agentresolves a relativecwdagainst the runner; specs withoutcwdhash unchanged. Agents in disjoint directories can overlap; overlapping trees (nested dirs or symlink aliases, including not-yet-created paths viacanonicalTree) still serialize for artifact attribution.Completion gate: Promise-dependency work for the authored operation gate is batched (
promise-ancestry,rootsInFlight, cachedaggregatesByInvocation) so large parallel runs finish in near-linear time instead of blocking the event loop and losing the root lease.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 18a95db. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
