Plan
Context
Voice-controlled terminal assistant using OpenAI's Realtime API. Monorepo with Express backend and Expo cross-platform app.
Focus: Agent model info tracking. Two distinct concepts:
- Configured model: What the user requested (default or specific model)
- Runtime model: What the agent is actually using (from the agent process itself)
Hard requirement: We must get the actual runtime model, not just echo back the requested config.
Environment
- Expo app: Running in tmux session
moboudra:mobile- check logs withtmux capture-pane -t moboudra:mobile -p - Server: Running in tmux session
moboudra:server- check logs withtmux capture-pane -t moboudra:server -p - Web testing: Use Playwright MCP at
http://localhost:8081
Guiding Principles
- Keep changes minimal and focused
- Run typecheck after every change
- Don't break existing functionality
- Test in the running app when possible
Autonomous Loop Requirements (CRITICAL)
- Always add follow-up tasks. Every task type must add new tasks to keep the loop running:
- Plan tasks → add implementation tasks, test tasks, and another Plan task to re-audit later
- Implement tasks → just implement, test task should already be in the plan
- Test tasks → if issues found, add fix tasks + re-test task; if passing, document and continue
- Fix tasks → add re-test task to verify the fix
- Review tasks → add fix tasks for issues + another review task after fixes
- Insert tasks at the right position. New tasks go immediately after the current task, not at the end.
- Never leave the plan empty. If you're the last task, add a checkpoint or review task.
Code Review Requirements
- Large implementations need Codex review. After completing a significant feature or multi-file change, add a
agent=codex **Review**task. - Codex reviews focus on code quality and types. Check for type errors, unsafe casts, missing error handling, and code smells.
- Reviews spawn fix tasks. If issues found, add fix tasks immediately after, then add another
agent=codex **Review**task to verify fixes. - Loop until clean. Review → fix → re-review → ... until no issues remain.
Testing Requirements (CRITICAL)
- Nothing is done until tested. Every implementation task must be followed by a testing task using Playwright MCP.
- Test tasks verify specific behaviors. Not "test the feature" but "verify X does Y when Z".
- Test failures spawn fix tasks. If a test finds issues, add fix tasks immediately after.
- Fix tasks get their own test tasks. After a fix task, add a re-test task to verify the fix.
- Loop until it works. The cycle is: implement → test → fix → re-test → ... until verified working.
- Testers own the plan. Test tasks can and should add new tasks (fixes, re-tests) to keep the loop going.
- Never claim done without verification. If you can't test it with Playwright MCP, you can't mark it complete.
Tasks
-
Plan: Audit current model info implementation and expand this plan.
- Find where model config is set when creating agents.
- Find where runtime model info is fetched/displayed.
- Document how each provider (Claude SDK, Codex SDK) exposes actual model info.
- Check if we're currently showing requested model vs actual runtime model.
- Add implementation tasks based on findings.
- Add test tasks as needed.
- Add another Plan task at an appropriate position to re-audit after some progress.
- Done (2025-12-21 12:45): Completed full audit. See findings below.
Audit Findings: Model Info Implementation
Current Architecture (Working Well):
- Model config is set via
AgentSessionConfig.modelinagent-sdk-types.ts:148-164 - Runtime info uses
AgentRuntimeInfotype withmodelfield inagent-sdk-types.ts:126-132 - UI correctly uses
extractAgentModel()which readsruntimeInfo.model(not config) - Displayed in agent screen header at line 555 of
[agentId].tsx
Claude SDK:
claude-agent.ts:423-435-getRuntimeInfo()returnsthis.lastOptionsModel- Model comes from Claude SDK options passed during agent creation
- Currently echoes back the configured model (not truly "runtime detected")
Codex SDK:
codex-agent.ts:407-426-getRuntimeInfo()reads actual runtime modelcodex-agent.ts:1229-1261- Parses rollout file forturn_context.payload.model- This IS the actual runtime model (correctly implemented)
- Falls back to config model if rollout not available yet
Gap Identified:
- Claude agents: Model info is the configured model, not detected from Claude SDK
- Codex agents: Model info IS detected from runtime (via rollout file) ✓
- Claude SDK may expose actual model in response metadata - needs investigation
Data Flow:
- Config:
config.model→ agent creation - Runtime:
agent.session.getRuntimeInfo()called after stream/turn completion - Storage:
runtimeInfopersisted in agent registry - Client: Receives via WebSocket, displayed via
extractAgentModel()
-
Investigate: Check if Claude SDK exposes actual model in response/stream metadata.
- Look at
@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdktypes for model info in responses - Check if
query()returns model information - Document findings for implementation task
- Done (2025-12-21 13:15): YES, the Claude SDK exposes actual model info in TWO places:
SDKSystemMessage(subtype: "init") hasmodel: stringfield (sdk.d.ts:334)SDKResultMessagehasmodelUsage: { [modelName: string]: ModelUsage }(sdk.d.ts:299-300)
- Current implementation ignores both - only uses
config.model(claude-agent.ts:712) - Fix: Update
handleSystemMessage()to capturemessage.modelaslastOptionsModel - Alternatively: Extract model name from
modelUsagekeys inSDKResultMessage
- Look at
-
Implement: Capture actual model from Claude SDK init message.
- In
handleSystemMessage(), setthis.lastOptionsModel = message.model - This gives us the actual model the SDK selected (not just our config)
- Simpler than parsing modelUsage, same result
- Done (2025-12-21 13:25): Updated
handleSystemMessage()inclaude-agent.ts:868-882to capturemessage.modelfrom the SDK init message and invalidate cached runtime info. Typecheck passes.
- In
-
Test: Verify current Codex runtime model detection works.
- Create a Codex agent with default model
- Wait for first turn to complete
- Verify the model displayed matches actual runtime model (e.g.,
gpt-4.1) - Check that it's not just echoing configured model
- If issues found: add fix tasks immediately after this task, then add re-test task after fixes.
- Done (2025-12-21 13:35): PASSED. Created Codex agent with "Automatic" model config. After first turn, UI correctly displays
gpt-5.1-codex-max(actual runtime model from rollout file), not "Automatic". Runtime model detection working correctly.
-
Test: Verify Claude agent model display behavior.
- Create a Claude agent with default model
- Wait for first turn to complete
- Check what model is displayed
- Document whether it's configured or runtime model
- If issues found: add fix tasks immediately after this task, then add re-test task after fixes.
- Done (2025-12-21 13:50): FAILED. Created Claude agent with "Automatic" model config. Agent self-reported running on
claude-opus-4-1-20250805(Opus 4.1), but UI shows Model: Unknown in agent info menu. The implementation to capture model from SDK init message is not working - model is not being propagated to the UI.
-
Fix: Debug and fix Claude agent model capture from SDK init message.
- Check server logs to see if
handleSystemMessage()is receiving the init message with model - Verify
this.lastOptionsModelis being set correctly - Check if
getRuntimeInfo()is being called after stream completion - Ensure runtime info is being persisted and sent to client via WebSocket
- The model should show
claude-opus-4-1-20250805instead of "Unknown" - Done (2025-12-21 14:10): Found and fixed the bug. The issue was in
agent-manager.ts:refreshRuntimeInfo()- it updatedagent.runtimeInfobut never calledemitState(agent)to notify clients. Fixed by adding change detection and emitting state when runtimeInfo changes. Also added debug logging tohandleSystemMessage()to confirm model capture from SDK init message. Typecheck passes.
- Check server logs to see if
-
Test: Re-verify Claude agent model display after fix.
- Create a new Claude agent with default model
- Wait for first turn to complete
- Verify model displays correctly (not "Unknown")
- Should show actual runtime model like
claude-opus-4-1-20250805 - Done (2025-12-21 14:30): FAILED. Model still shows "Unknown". Root cause: The server wasn't restarted after the fix was implemented. The dev server uses tsx with explicit restart messaging - it doesn't auto-reload on file changes. Verified by checking that the debug log
[ClaudeAgentSession] Captured model from SDK initdoesn't appear in server logs (and isn't in the compiled dist either). The fix code is correct in source but the server is running stale code.
-
Fix: Restart server to apply model capture fix.
- The server needs to be restarted to pick up the changes to claude-agent.ts and agent-manager.ts
- After restart, the SDK init message model capture and emitState fix should work
- Verify the debug log appears in server logs when creating a new Claude agent
- Done (2025-12-21 14:45): Server successfully restarted in tmux session
moboudra:server. Sent Ctrl-C to stop the running server, then rannpm run devto restart. Server is now running with the updated code that includes the model capture from SDK init message and the emitState fix for runtimeInfo changes. Ready for testing.
-
Test: Re-test Claude model display after server restart.
- Create a new Claude agent with default model
- Check server logs for
[ClaudeAgentSession] Captured model from SDK init - Verify model displays correctly in agent info menu (not "Unknown")
- Should show actual runtime model like
claude-opus-4-1-20250805 - Done (2025-12-21 14:55): PASSED. Created Claude agent with "Automatic" model config. Agent responded with "Hello! I'm Claude Code running on the Opus 4.1 model (claude-opus-4-1-20250805)." The agent info menu now correctly displays Model: claude-opus-4-1-20250805 instead of "Unknown". The fix is working - runtime model is now captured from SDK init message and propagated to the UI.
-
Plan: Re-audit after investigation and initial tests complete.
- Review test results
- Determine if Claude SDK exposes runtime model info
- Add implementation tasks if improvements needed
- Add fix tasks if tests reveal issues
- Done (2025-12-21 15:00): Re-audit complete. All model info tests PASSED. Claude SDK investigation found model exposed in init message; implementation captured it in
handleSystemMessage(). FixedrefreshRuntimeInfo()to emit state on changes. Both Claude (showsclaude-opus-4-1-20250805) and Codex (showsgpt-5.1-codex-max) now correctly display actual runtime models. Feature complete - no additional tasks needed for model info tracking.
-
Implement: Update Claude SDK package to use Opus 4.5.
- Update
@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdkto latest version. - Verify the SDK defaults to Opus 4.5 (
claude-opus-4-5-20251101). - Run typecheck after update.
- Restart server and verify new model is used.
- Done (2025-12-21 17:45): Updated
@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdkfrom 0.1.74 to 0.1.75. SDK now includes Opus 4.5 model (claude-opus-4-5-20251101). Typecheck passes. Server restarted in tmux session. Test task will verify the model is being used.
- Update
-
Test: Verify Claude agent uses Opus 4.5 after SDK update.
- Create a new Claude agent with default model.
- Check model displays as
claude-opus-4-5-20251101or similar. - Confirm upgrade worked.
- Done (2025-12-21 17:50): PASSED. Created Claude agent with "Automatic" model config. Agent self-reported running on
claude-opus-4-5-20251101(Opus 4.5). Agent info menu correctly displays Model: claude-opus-4-5-20251101. SDK update to 0.1.75 successfully upgraded Claude agents to Opus 4.5.
-
Plan: Fix agent git diff not loading.
- Investigate why git diff is not loading in agent view.
- Find where git diff is fetched and rendered.
- Identify the root cause of the loading failure.
- Add implementation/fix tasks based on findings.
- Add test task to verify git diff loads correctly via Playwright MCP.
- Add another Plan task to re-audit after fix if needed.
- Done (2025-12-21 16:30): Root cause identified. See findings below.
Git Diff Loading Bug Findings
Symptom: Git diff screen shows "Loading changes..." forever, even though data is being received successfully.
Root Cause: Infinite loop caused by unstable requestGitDiff function reference.
Data Flow Analysis:
git-diff.tsx:109-111- GetsrequestGitDifffrom session store methodsgit-diff.tsx:113-127-useEffectdepends onrequestGitDiffand calls itsession-context.tsx:1492-1501-requestGitDiffdepends ongitDiffRequestsession-context.tsx:1698-1736-methodsobject is memoized withrequestGitDiffas dependencysession-context.tsx:1738-1740-setSessionMethodsis called whenmethodschanges
The Loop:
- Component mounts, effect calls
requestGitDiff(agentId) - Response comes back,
setGitDiffsis called, which updates store - Store update causes

Fix Required:
Remove requestGitDiff from useEffect dependencies in git-diff.tsx. Use a ref to track if we've already requested, or use a more stable approach.
-
Fix: Remove requestGitDiff from useEffect dependencies in git-diff.tsx.
- The
requestGitDifffunction reference changes on every store update - Remove it from the dependency array to prevent infinite loop
- Use a ref to track if we've already requested the diff
- Keep
agentIdas the only dependency (or use empty deps with agentId check) - Run typecheck after fix.
- Done (2025-12-21 18:10): Added
hasRequestedRefto track if a request was already made for the current agentId. The ref prevents duplicate requests whenrequestGitDiffreference changes due to store updates. Typecheck passes.

Test: Verify git diff loads correctly after fix.
- Navigate to an agent screen
- Click "View Changes" in the agent info menu
- Verify the diff content displays (or "No changes" if clean)
- Confirm no infinite loop in console (no repeated requests)
- Verify the loading spinner goes away
- Done (2025-12-21 18:20): PASSED. Tested via Playwright MCP - navigated to agent screen, clicked "View Changes", and git diff loaded successfully showing changes to
plan.md. Only onegit_diff_requestwas sent (no infinite loop). ThesetGitDiffswas called once and content rendered correctly. Fix verified working.
-
Plan: Design and implement agent parent/child hierarchy.
- Add
parentIdfield to agents. - Agents created via MCP should auto-set parentId to the calling agent.
- Homepage should only show top-level agents (no parentId).
- Agent screen three-dot menu should show sub-agents of that agent.
- Sub-agents should be navigable from the menu.
- Ensure back button works properly when navigating agent hierarchy.
- Add implementation tasks based on findings.
- Add another Plan task at an appropriate position to re-audit after some progress.
- Done (2025-12-21 19:30): Design complete. See findings below.
- Add
Agent Parent/Child Hierarchy Design
Overview: Enable agents to spawn child agents, with UI support for viewing and navigating the hierarchy.
Architecture Summary:
Files requiring modification:
- Server Types (
agent-manager.ts:77): AddparentAgentId?: stringtoManagedAgentBase - SDK Types (
agent-sdk-types.ts:148): Add toAgentSessionConfiginterface - App Types (
session-store.ts:85,agent-directory.ts:4): Add toAgentandAgentDirectoryEntry - MCP Server (
mcp-server.ts:183): AddparentAgentIdtocreate_agenttool input schema - Session Handler (
session.ts:1248): PassparentAgentIdinhandleCreateAgentRequest() - Message Schema (
messages.ts:351): Add toCreateAgentRequestMessageSchema - Agent Projections (
agent-projections.ts): IncludeparentAgentIdin serialized payload - Homepage (
agent-list.tsx): Filter to show only root agents (noparentAgentId) - Agent Menu (
[agentId].tsx:536): Add "Sub-Agents" section showing child agents - Create Agent (
[agentId].tsx:415): Pass current agent ID asparentAgentIdwhen spawning
Data Flow:
- MCP
create_agenttool receivesparentAgentIdfrom calling agent context - Server stores
parentAgentIdonManagedAgent - Agent projections include
parentAgentIdin client payload - Client stores
parentAgentIdin session store - Homepage filters:
agents.filter(a => !a.parentAgentId) - Agent menu queries:
agents.filter(a => a.parentAgentId === currentAgentId)
UI/UX Design:
- Homepage shows only root agents (agents with no parent)
- Agent info menu adds "Sub-Agents" section with clickable child agents
- Tapping a child agent navigates to that agent's screen
- Back button works naturally via router history
- Child agents show parent info in their menu (optional enhancement)
MCP Context:
- The MCP server runs in the context of a specific agent
create_agenttool knows the calling agent's ID- Automatically set
parentAgentIdto calling agent ID
-
Implement: Add parentAgentId field to server types.
- Add
parentAgentId?: stringtoManagedAgentBaseinagent-manager.ts:77 - Add
parentAgentId?: stringtoAgentSessionConfiginagent-sdk-types.ts:148 - Update

Implement: Add parentAgentId to MCP create_agent tool.
- Add
parentAgentIdto tool input schema inmcp-server.ts:183 - Pass
parentAgentIdtoagentManager.createAgent()call inmcp-server.ts:263 - The MCP server has access to the calling agent context - use that ID
- Run typecheck after changes.
- Done (2025-12-21 21:15): Added
parentAgentIdoptional field tocreate_agenttool input schema inmcp-server.ts:223-228. Updated handler to acceptparentAgentIdparameter and pass it toagentManager.createAgent()inmcp-server.ts:275. Also updatedregisterSession()inagent-manager.ts:730to copyparentAgentIdfrom config to the managed agent. Typecheck passes.

Also updatednormalizeAgentSnapshot()insession-context.tsx:142to map from server payload. Server'sAgentSnapshotPayloadSchemaalready hadparentAgentId. Typecheck passes.
- Add
-
Implement: Filter homepage to show only root agents.
- In
use-aggregated-agents.ts, filter agents:agents.filter(a => !a.parentAgentId) - Or filter in
agent-list.tsxbefore rendering - Root agents are those with
parentAgentId === undefinedornull - Run typecheck after changes.
- Done (2025-12-21 21:45): Added filter in
use-aggregated-agents.ts:66-68to skip agents withparentAgentIdwhen building the aggregated agents list. Also includedparentAgentIdin the aggregated agent object. Typecheck passes.
- In
-
Implement: Add sub-agents section to agent info menu.
- In
[agentId].tsx:536, add a "Sub-Agents" section to the menu - Query the session store for agents where
parentAgentId === currentAgentId - Display child agents as clickable menu items
- Tapping a child agent navigates to that agent's screen
- Show "No sub-agents" if none exist
- Run typecheck after changes.
- Done (2025-12-21 22:00): Added Sub-Agents section to agent info menu in
[agentId].tsx. AddedchildAgentsselector to query agents with matchingparentAgentId. AddedhandleNavigateToChildAgentcallback for navigation. UI shows "No sub-agents" when empty, or clickable list of child agents with chevron icons. Typecheck passes.
- In
-
Test: Verify parent/child hierarchy end-to-end.
- Create a root agent via the UI
- Use MCP to spawn a child agent from within the root agent
- Verify homepage only shows the root agent (not the child)
- Verify root agent's menu shows the child in "Sub-Agents" section
- Click child agent in menu, verify navigation works
- Verify back button returns to parent agent screen
- If issues found: add fix tasks + re-test task.
- Done (2025-12-21 22:30): PARTIAL PASS with issues found. Fixed infinite loop bug (added
useShallowtochildAgentsselector). Agent screen loads correctly. Sub-Agents menu section shows "No sub-agents". Parent agent successfully created child via MCPcreate_agent. However, child appears on homepage becauseparentAgentIdnot set - MCP server doesn't auto-inject calling agent's ID. Fix task added.
-
Fix: Auto-inject parentAgentId in MCP create_agent tool.
- The MCP server needs to know which agent is calling it
- Explore passing agent ID context when MCP transport is created
- Or: Have each agent's MCP session be scoped to that agent
- Update
create_agenthandler to automatically setparentAgentId - Run typecheck after changes.
- Done (2025-12-21 23:45): Implemented end-to-end parent-child agent ID injection. Added
setManagedAgentId()toAgentSessioninterface (optional).ClaudeAgentSessionstores the ID and includes it asX-Caller-Agent-Idheader when connecting to agent-control MCP.AgentManager.registerSession()callssetManagedAgentId()after registration. MCP server extracts the header and auto-injects it asparentAgentIdincreate_agenthandler. Typecheck passes.
-
Test: Re-verify parent/child hierarchy after MCP fix.
- Create a root agent via the UI
- Use MCP to spawn a child agent from within the root agent
- Verify child agent has
parentAgentIdset automatically - Verify homepage only shows the root agent (not the child)
- Verify root agent's menu shows the child in "Sub-Agents" section
- Click child agent in menu, verify navigation works
- Done (2025-12-21 17:45): PARTIAL PASS - MCP header injection IS working correctly. The
X-Caller-Agent-Idheader is being sent by parent agents and received by the MCP server. ThecallerAgentIdis correctly used asparentAgentIdwhen creating child agents. HOWEVER, discovered a bug:parentAgentIdis stored inpersistence.metadatabut NOT at the top-level of the stored agent record. ThetoStoredAgentRecord()function inagent-projections.tsand theSTORED_AGENT_SCHEMAinagent-registry.tsare missingparentAgentId. Fix task added below.
-
Fix: Add parentAgentId to stored agent record schema.
- Add
parentAgentIdtoSTORED_AGENT_SCHEMAinagent-registry.ts - Add
parentAgentIdtotoStoredAgentRecord()output inagent-projections.ts - Read
parentAgentIdfromagent.parentAgentId(which is onManagedAgentBase) - Run typecheck after changes.
- Done (2025-12-21 17:52): Added
parentAgentId: z.string().nullable().optional()toSTORED_AGENT_SCHEMAinagent-registry.ts:56. AddedparentAgentId: agent.parentAgentId ?? nulltotoStoredAgentRecord()output inagent-projections.ts:55. Typecheck passes.
- Add
-
Test: Re-test parent/child hierarchy after storage fix.
- Create a root agent via the UI
- Use MCP to spawn a child agent from the root agent
- Verify child agent has
parentAgentIdat top-level in agents.json - Verify homepage only shows root agent (not child)
- Verify root agent's menu shows child in Sub-Agents section
- Click child agent, verify navigation works
-
Plan: Re-audit agent hierarchy after initial implementation.
- Review test results
- Check for edge cases (orphaned agents, deep nesting)
- Consider showing parent info on child agent screens
- Add polish tasks if needed
-
Plan: Tool call details in bottom sheet on mobile.
- Currently tool calls in agent stream expand inline which is awkward on mobile.
- Tool call tap should open details in a bottom sheet instead.
- Review current tool call rendering in agent stream.
- Design bottom sheet component for tool call details.
- Add implementation tasks based on findings.
- Add test tasks to verify on mobile web via Playwright MCP.
- Add another Plan task at an appropriate position to re-audit after some progress.
-
agent=codex Review: Code quality and types review.
- Review all changed files for code quality issues.
- Check TypeScript types are correct and complete.
- Look for any type errors or unsafe casts.
- Check for proper error handling.
- Add fix tasks for any issues found.
- Add another
agent=codex **Review**task after fix tasks to verify fixes.
