Subagent Background Fork

Status: pending · Phase: 2 · Priority: 🔴 High

Bug

subagent with run_in_background: true blocks the primary conversation instead of running asynchronously.

Desired Behavior

  • Non-blocking background forks that can run independently
  • Primary should be able to continue the conversation while the fork works
  • TUI should have a visual component showing forks in progress (similar to the existing task tracking above the chat field)

Use Cases

  • Fork to explore a codebase while continuing to talk
  • Fork to finish a multi-stage task in the background
  • Fork to research something and report back

Open Questions

  • How does the fork report back when done? Inbox? Notification?
  • How many concurrent forks should be allowed?
  • Should forks have their own context window or share the primary's?
