An agent can open a thread from its current one only through the orchestrator V2 branch. The MCP server on main already dispatches engine commands for pull request links, so the same path can create a thread and start its turn. Add a threads toolkit with one tool, start_thread. It creates a thread in the caller's project, checkout, and worktree with the caller's provider, then starts the first turn with the given prompt. Model and modes can be narrowed. A clientRequestId derives the thread id so a retried call finds the thread it already started instead of running a second agent in the same tree. The capability is granted to every MCP session next to pull-requests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Knip flags the export as unused. The pull-requests layer is exported for a test; the threads layer has no such consumer. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
With a clientRequestId, the create and turn-start command ids now derive from the thread id. The engine replays an accepted command id instead of running it again, so a retry or an overlapping call cannot create the thread twice or leave it without its first turn. The read-then-create check and its alreadyStarted flag are gone with it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The first version shipped a start_thread tool with its own shape. V2 (#2829) exposes the same feature as create_threads plus orchestrator_capabilities. Agents and prompts that learn one name now keep working when V2 lands. Port the V2 contract subset into packages/contracts/src/orchestratorMcp.ts and move the toolkit to toolkits/orchestrator with V2's names, the "orchestration" capability, and failureMode "return". Port V2's target resolution, option validation, and mode escalation checks. Batch entries are validated before any thread is created. Command ids follow V2's scheme, so a retry replays accepted receipts. The result reads the thread back from the projection, so a retry with changed input reports the thread it created first. Thread ids are a digest instead of V2's colon form because V1 clients split scoped thread keys on ":". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Follow the repo's error conventions: construct OrchestratorMcpFailure at each failure site instead of through a forwarding helper, and never copy cause.message into the message the agent sees. The message now names the failed step and tells the agent whether a retry with the same clientRequestId can help. The full error still goes to the log.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Retry guidance is wrong when the caller sent no clientRequestId.
requestKey makes a random UUID when input.clientRequestId is undefined. The caller never receives this UUID. orchestrationErrorReason still returns "Retry with the same clientRequestId." for storage failures.
Entries are dispatched one at a time. Suppose entry 3 fails with a PersistenceSqlError. Entries 1 and 2 already exist. If the agent retries without a clientRequestId, it gets a new UUID. The new UUID gives new thread IDs and new command IDs. As a result, entries 1 and 2 are created a second time, which duplicates their threads and first turns.
Fix: pass the caller's clientRequestId into orchestrationError. If it is undefined, say that some threads may already exist. Tell the agent to send a clientRequestId on future calls so they can be retried safely.
Proposed fix
const orchestrationError =
- (context: string) =>
+ (context: string, hasClientRequestId = true) =>
(error: OrchestrationDispatchError): Effect.Effect<never, OrchestratorMcpFailure> =>
Effect.logWarning(`create_threads: ${context}`, error).pipe(
Effect.andThen(
Effect.fail(
new OrchestratorMcpFailure({
code: "orchestration_error",
- message: `${context}: ${orchestrationErrorReason(error)}`,
+ message: hasClientRequestId
+ ? `${context}: ${orchestrationErrorReason(error)}`
+ : `${context}: ${orchestrationErrorReason(error).replace(/ Retry with .*$/, "")} Earlier entries in this batch may already exist; pass a clientRequestId to retry safely.`,
}),
),
),
);At the dispatch sites (Line 462 and Line 488), pass input.clientRequestId !== undefined as the second argument.

Problem
An agent can only open new threads from its current one on the Orchestrator V2 branch (#2829). Users who want that one feature should not have to wait for V2.
Fix
Ship V2's
create_threadsandorchestrator_capabilitiestools on the current engine, with V2's names, schemas, and failure codes. Agents and prompts that learn these tools keep working when V2 lands. V2 then replaces this toolkit.packages/contracts/src/orchestratorMcp.ts, copied from V2.create_threadstakes up to 20 entries. Each new thread uses the caller's project, branch, and worktree. An entry can pick another provider, model, or model options, and can narrow runtime or interaction mode. It cannot widen them. An entry with a prompt starts its first turn.orchestrationcapability. Every MCP session gets that capability, the same aspull-requests.Differences from V2, because the current engine has no runs or lineage:
runId,createdBy, andcreationSource, and uses fewer status values.orchestrator_capabilitiesreportsbatchThreadCreationonly. Delegation, polling, and scheduling reportfalse.mcp-<hex>), not V2'sthread:mcp:...form, because V1 clients split scoped thread keys on:.Retries follow V2's command id scheme, so the engine replays receipts it already accepted. A retry after a dropped response returns the same threads. A retry after a failed first turn starts that turn. The result comes from the projection, so a retry with changed input reports what the first call created.
This covers the same need as #11360 by @mimen, which was closed during the V2 freeze. This version touches only the MCP layer and the contracts so that it lines up with V2.
