The turn-end guardrail only counted still-running agents, so an agent
that finished before the turn ended was invisible: its uncollected
result was silently dropped. Jobs were never counted at all.
The guardrail now enumerates every registered task (running and
finished, agents and jobs) via Supervisor::list_tasks and renders a
kind-aware prompt with two sections: still-running tasks to reclaim,
and completed-but-uncollected tasks with the exact collect command.
At the force-terminate cap, finished-but-uncollected handles are
explicitly discarded with a warning naming the lost ids, so the
guardrail cannot loop forever on handles nobody will collect.
Implements T1 of plans/background-jobs-design.md (§6, R7/R8/R9):
- Supervisor.handles is now HashMap<String, TaskHandle> where
TaskHandle = Agent(AgentHandle) | Job(JobHandle); agent-facing
accessors (active_count, effective_active_count, is_finished, take,
inbox, abort_signal_for, list_agents) match only Agent variants,
preserving all existing external behavior byte-for-byte.
- New JobHandle/JobState/JobStatus/JobResult types with pgid-guarded
process-group kill discipline: Drop and cancel_all/cancel_recursive
kill the group only while state.pgid is still set (pid-reuse guard),
via libc::killpg on unix and JoinHandle::abort elsewhere.
- Per-kind job capacity: Supervisor carries max_concurrent_jobs
(builder-set, default 0); job registration rejects at capacity.
- Cross-kind teaching errors at the four agent-lookup miss sites
(agent__check/collect/cancel/send_message) when the id is a
registered job or job_-prefixed; genuinely-unknown ids keep their
existing messages.
- Supervisor init condition is now can_spawn_agents || jobs_enabled in
use_agent and both child-agent spawn paths, with agent capacity 0 in
jobs-only contexts; use_agent cancels the old supervisor recursively
before replacing it.
- max_concurrent_jobs config plumbing: global Config field, AgentConfig
override + accessor, all four AppConfig touch points including the
COYOTE_MAX_CONCURRENT_JOBS env override; shared
effective_max_concurrent_jobs/jobs_enabled predicates
(agent override -> global -> default 5; 0 disables).
- Stage dependency-free RingBuf (64 KiB default) in src/function/jobs.rs
for the upcoming job output pump.
- New sanctioned dependency: libc 0.2 under cfg(unix).
Implements plans/mcp-resources-prompts-design.md section 4.3 (T4):
mcp_read_<server> declaration and handler wired to render.rs, RFC 6570
Level-1-only URI template expansion, defensive ResourceContents parsing,
per-item text paging with pattern filtering, blob spill metadata, an
overall 204800-byte multi-content ceiling, dispatch wiring on both
eval chains, and a render_text paging-stall guard.
Per-server McpServerFeatures (tools fail-open, resources/prompts
fail-closed) now drive which meta-functions are declared, with
gated_meta_function_prefixes as the single gating seam; read/prompt
declarations land together with their handlers. The server-enablement
sentinel keys on the always-emitted search name so resources-only
servers survive role filtering.
Implements plans/mcp-resources-prompts-design.md §4.4/D7 (T5).
- Hang fix: 120s timeout on compression LLM call + raw_stream
channel-close handling (None => break instead of spinning)
- Supervisor effective active count: stop counting finished
JoinHandles as occupying capacity slots
- Universal tool result size cap: truncate_if_needed() on
ToolResult, applied in eval_tool_calls() after escalation block;
configurable via max_tool_result_chars in AppConfig/AgentConfig
- Windowed compression: compression_keep_last config param keeps
the N most recent messages visible after compression
- Fix pre-existing flaky test: add #[serial] to
handle_list_available_unrestricted_when_no_whitelist so it does
not race with TestConfigDirGuard-based tests that temporarily
populate the agents data dir
