fix(server): delegated Claude tasks report the model that ran - #27753
When Claude runs a different model than a delegated task asked for, the parent only sees the requested one. For example, an organization that only allows Sonnet makes an Opus request run on Sonnet. task_status, the thread's runs and the completion message all name Opus, so the parent reports an "Opus review" that Sonnet did. Closes#27705.
Change
The Claude adapter now saves, on each provider turn, the model Claude reports on the root agent's assistant messages. Native subagents and CLI notices are skipped. The name is normalized through the model catalog, dropping a trailing -YYYYMMDD date when the catalog doesn't list the dated ID, so claude-opus-4-5-20251101 counts as claude-opus-4-5.
task_status and thread recentRuns gain executedModel, which is null when unavailable. task_status takes it from the run that produced the result.
When the model that ran differs from the one requested, the delegated result starts with "Requested model X; the provider reported running Y." Tasks in a linked environment get the same note, taken from the remote thread's run. Older linked environments omit the field, so it reads as unknown.
Evidence
A real Claude Haiku 5.5 parent in the web client delegates a review to claude-sonnet-5-5, then prints its task_status. Neither the account nor any cheap route made Claude really substitute a model: retired models are refused with an error, not swapped. So the child's provider instance points binaryPath at a small wrapper that runs the real Claude CLI with --model claude-haiku-5-5 whatever model was requested. Claude really runs Haiku and its own frames report it; only the substitution is staged.
Before, on main (7b680b616f): the delegated result and task_status name only Sonnet, with no executedModel.
After, at f7c2ed273c: the delegated result starts with "Requested model claude-sonnet-5-5; the provider reported running claude-haiku-5-5.", and task_status returns executedModel: claude-haiku-5-5.
Tests
One assertion each, added to existing cases. Each fails on main's source:
ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts, "rolls back to the main-thread assistant message when a subagent frame comes last": the root frame reports claude-opus-4-5-20251101, which the catalog doesn't list, and a later subagent frame reports Sonnet; the provider turn records claude-opus-4-5. On main: expected undefined to equal 'claude-opus-4-5'; before the date rule it recorded the dated ID.
SubagentProjection.test.ts, "orders a task's assistant messages by turn item, not by timestamps": the result leads with the note. On main it is just the reply.
OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts, "reports the child run's selection after a restart and the thread selection before launch": executedModel is the run's reported model, and null before launch. On main: expected undefined to equal 'claude-sonnet-4-6'.
RemoteDelegation.test.ts, "a task's result is its own run's whole last reply, not a later run's": a linked task's result carries the note.
vp run check:changed passed at 19adb18f48: format, lint, knip, GraphQL, typecheck (36 packages) and tests (10 files).
Not shown:
A real substitution by an organization-restricted Claude account.
No test now covers task_status choosing the run that produced a stored result over a later run of the same task.
While a turn is still running, executedModel can stay null until the turn's next update.
A linked task's note looks only at the remote thread's newest 50 runs.
Trimmed, tested and captured by Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code; earlier reviews by GPT-6.1 Sol in Codex.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Delegated Claude results now report the model that actually ran and flag differences from the requested model. This is a reporting change with backward-compatible optional metadata, not a change to model selection or product defaults.

The change records provider-reported models separately from requested models. Local and remote delegated-task results and MCP thread-run responses can report executed-model and substitution metadata. Substitution notices can accompany delegated results.
Provider-turn records include optional model and substitution fields. The Claude adapter records eligible root model reports and recognizes root message_start frames as turn starts. Tests cover model attribution and wake-turn opening signals.
Add model details to app-owned results packages/provider-core/src/server/subagentProjection.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/SubagentProjection.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/DelegatedCompletionDelivery.test.ts
Subagent results can include a model-substitution note and qualifying root notices. App-owned result collection includes system notices. Tests cover substitution reporting and recovery output.
Expose executed models in MCP results packages/contracts/src/orchestratorMcp.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.activity.test.ts
MCP thread-run and delegated-task responses expose executed-model metadata from provider turns. Task results use the run associated with the result when available. Tests cover continuation, stored-result, and missing-run cases.
Propagate model details through remote delegation packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts, apps/server/src/peer/RemoteDelegation.ts, apps/server/src/peer/RemoteDelegation.test.ts, evals/mcp-tool-use/cases/orchestration.ndjson
Remote completion carries result-model metadata. Remote result text can include a substitution note. Tests and evaluation cases cover task-status and inline completion reporting.

Explanation
The title "fix(server): delegated Claude tasks report the model that ran" matches the main change in the changeset. The changes make delegated task, thread read, and completion results report the model Claude actually executed, separate from the requested model, and the title follows the conventional commit format from the repository template. It is short, specific, and free of file lists or vague terms.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #27705 requires parent-facing separation of the requested and executed Claude models and visibility of the fallback reason. The Claude adapter records root provider model data and substitution state. Task status, thread runs, local completion results, and linked-environment results expose this data. Completion paths include the relevant provider notice. Tests cover provider turns, continuations, task status, thread reads, local completion delivery, remote results, and linked delegation.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes remain within issue #27705. Adapter attribution, provider-turn persistence, MCP and remote serialization, completion reporting, wake-turn handling, and regression tests support accurate requested-versus-executed model reporting. No unrelated change is demonstrated.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template in substance. It has a clear Problem section that names the expected and actual behavior, a Change section that lists the adapter, service, and contract updates, and a Verification section that names the focused tests, the before and after results, and the passing vp run check:changed run. It also lists items it did not check. Two parts are weaker. The Scope and approval section is missing: the description does not link a triaged issue or maintainer approval, but the PR objectives link issue #27705 and say that optional wire fields still need maintainer approval. The description also does not say which approval covers the new contract fields. The author also gives a model and harness at the end, as the template asks. The description is mostly complete, so this check passes, with a note that the approval reference should be added.

Buffer root stream_eventmessage_start frames for idle wakes.
When no active context exists, root stream_event messages go to bufferWakeMessage. isClaudeTurnStartMessage recognizes only system/init, so message_start is discarded before continuation replay. If that frame is the only model-bearing frame, executedModel can remain unset.

update at 7621dbda49: merged current main (no rebase). main's #31717 added a downloaded modelCatalog hook next to this pr's reportedModels hook in ClaudeDriver.ts and createClaudeAdapterV2; kept both. main also removed subagentModelCatalog, so the substitution check now reads the per-turn modelCatalog. blacksmith vp run check:changed against main passes: 510 tests in 13 files (331 in the Claude adapter), 36 package typechecks, format, lint, both knip passes, graphql. live Claude fallback is still unverified here.
Note
Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria
kept the original implementation and contributor history. the contributor's updated head already incorporates current main; its tree matched my conflict-resolved merge exactly. added one production line to capture the root message_start model before publishing usage, plus coverage in the existing adapter test. this handles a streamed response that ends before an assistant snapshot, while excluding native-child frames. no scope was dropped.
verification:
the original model-attribution regression fails against current main with expected undefined to equal 'claude-sonnet-4-6'.
the streamed-only extension fails before the added line and passes afterward.
blacksmith vp run check:changed f98ff73a1d2b6558d172e31219527409f422d35f passes: 414 tests across 11 files, 35 affected package/dependent typechecks, format, lint, both knip passes and graphql.
two independent read-only code reviews found no remaining blocker or should findings in the final tree.
all 33 final-head checks pass, including the automated review checks.
unverified here: live Claude fallback, parent/client attribution and paid model evals. this vm has no Claude login or Anthropic API key. the original runtime evidence remains in the body; i have not claimed to reproduce it here. this adds no UI control or layout change.
review disposition: retain unknown execution metadata when the latest turn has no observation; borrowing an earlier turn's model could attribute a different execution incorrectly. the earlier result-run and active-attempt notice findings are covered by the existing fixes and passing regressions. known minor limit: an alias-only identifier difference can produce a mismatch note even when both identifiers name the same model. that comparison remains unchanged in this pass. the final follow-up also identifies an existing idle-wake buffering limit: a root stream-only model frame can be discarded before continuation replay. both minor limits are recorded at the review-round budget rather than expanding this pass.
human approval of the protocol additions remains required before merge. head: a44e92bd7d0080be7ac609212a6003a467588654.

partial verification on linux, exact head bd5c9d9b0c39a87787e0d2b292ffb506ba8edb42. the claude substitution fix remains unverified here.
ran vp i and background vp run dev --no-seed on github/main (e5909e53c3) in /home/user/main, then stopped that server before starting the pr with vp run dev --home-dir /home/user/t3code/.t3 --no-seed. drove both web clients with repository playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome. added a project pointing at the same real git repository through the app. created real codex gpt-6.1-sol parent and delegated child turns. no mocks, fixtures, replay, authored provider frames, or database writes were used.
main: the child returned CHILD-27753-OK; task_status and t3_thread_read omitted executedModel and modelSubstituted.
pr: the child returned the same result; both responses retained requested model: "gpt-6.1-sol", returned executedModel: null, and omitted modelSubstituted. unknown execution identity stays unknown and adds no false substitution prefix.
neighboring behavior: the pr completion woke the parent, which read both tools and reported the result. opening the child from its subagent card and returning to the parent worked. a main completion wake hit the proxy error no active upstream websocket for response.interrupt; a manual follow-up recovered. that error did not recur in the pr run, but this is not evidence the pr fixes it.
vp run check:changed f98ff73a1d2b6558d172e31219527409f422d35f passed through blacksmith-check: 416 tests across 11 files, 35 affected package/dependent typechecks, format, lint, both knip passes and graphql. the worker first needed its shallow history deepened. no source changes, commits or pushes were made. the 32 head check entries have no pending or failing checks (24 successful, 8 skipped in the web view).
short result inspection and child navigation recording; this records inspecting a completed real turn, not the turn running:
Not verified
could not reproduce the original claude substitution on main or verify its correction on the pr. claude auth status reports loggedIn: false, authMethod: "none"; no anthropic api key is configured, and the running app reports claude as unauthenticated. codex success does not prove claude fallback, root provider warnings, equivalent claude aliases, idle claude wake attribution, or linked-environment model propagation. those need an authenticated claude environment, and linked propagation also needs a second environment. existing attachments from other machines were not treated as verification performed in this pass.
native desktop shells, ios/android, macos/windows behavior, organization-managed restrictions, and older peers were not exercised on this linux web run. no merge sign-off is implied by the partial verification.
Merge main a7f6c68. The only conflict was in
ClaudeAdapterV2.startTurn, where main resolves autoCompactWindow after
openQuery and this branch passes the turn's model catalog to openQuery and
snapshots reported models. Both are kept.

Resolving the settings compaction window now awaits the filesystem after the
query's SDK consumer starts, so a fresh process's system/init could be routed
before its opening turn attached and its root model was dropped. The live
query now keeps that early init model and its first attached turn records it;
later turns on the process still start without one.

Keep the root model Claude reports on each provider turn and surface it as
executedModel on task status and thread runs, with a short note on delegated
results. Drop substitution classification, alias discovery, catalog
snapshots, init attribution, wake-start and notice-forwarding changes, the
stored linked-task model, and the non-discriminating eval cases.
