fix(sisyphus-task): complete overhaul of background agent model handling and sync mode
## Summary This commit represents the culmination of extensive debugging and refinement of the background agent and sisyphus_task systems, building upon changes from PRs code-yeongyu#592, code-yeongyu#610, code-yeongyu#628, code-yeongyu#638, code-yeongyu#648, code-yeongyu#649, code-yeongyu#652, and code-yeongyu#653. ## Investigation Journey ### Initial Problem Background tasks were getting stuck indefinitely. User config model overrides were being ignored for certain agent types. ### Root Cause Analysis 1. Discovered validateSessionHasOutput and checkSessionTodos guards were blocking completion even when tasks had finished 2. Found that sync mode (run_in_background=false) was NOT passing categoryModel to session.prompt(), while async mode was 3. Traced config loading path and found JSONC files weren't being detected 4. Analyzed kdcokenny/opencode-background-agents for reference implementation ### Trial and Error Log **Attempt 1: Add model to resume() in manager.ts** - Hypothesis: Resume needs to pass stored model - Result: REVERTED - PR code-yeongyu#638 intentionally removed this; agent config handles it **Attempt 2: Add userAgents lookup for subagent_type** - Hypothesis: Need to look up agent model from user config - Result: REVERTED - Agent model already applied at creation in config-handler.ts **Attempt 3: Add categoryModel to sync mode prompt** - Hypothesis: Sync mode missing model that async mode passes - Result: SUCCESS - This was the actual bug **Attempt 4: Add debug logging throughout pipeline** - Purpose: Trace model flow through config -> agent -> prompt - Files: 6 files with appendFileSync to omo-debug.log - Result: Confirmed fixes working, then REMOVED all debug logging **Attempt 5: Investigate clickable sessions** - Hypothesis: parentID should make child sessions clickable in UI - Result: parentID IS passed correctly, but sessions don't appear clickable - Analysis: kdcokenny uses same approach; may be OpenCode core limitation - Status: UNRESOLVED - Needs further investigation or OpenCode core change ## Background Agent Completion Detection (PR code-yeongyu#638) Simplified the completion detection logic that was causing tasks to get stuck: - Removed overly complex validateSessionHasOutput and checkSessionTodos guards - Tasks now complete after MIN_IDLE_TIME_MS (5s) elapsed on session.idle event - Added 15-minute global timeout (MAX_RUN_TIME_MS) to prevent runaway tasks - Pattern follows kdcokenny/opencode-background-agents reference implementation ## Model Override Architecture (PRs code-yeongyu#610, code-yeongyu#628, code-yeongyu#638) Established clear separation between category-based and agent-based model handling: | Path | Model Source | |-------------------|-------------------------------------------| | category=X | Explicit from category config (passed) | | subagent_type=X | Agent's configured model (at creation) | | resume | Agent's configured model (not passed) | Key insight from PR code-yeongyu#638: Don't pass model in prompt body for resume/subagent - let OpenCode use the agent's configured model set at creation time in config-handler.ts. ## Sync Mode Category Model Fix (NEW) Fixed critical bug where sync mode (run_in_background=false) with categories was NOT passing the categoryModel to session.prompt(): // BEFORE: Model not passed in sync mode body: { agent: agentToUse, system: systemContent, ... } // AFTER: Model passed when available body: { agent: agentToUse, ...(categoryModel ? { model: categoryModel } : {}), ... } This ensures category model overrides work consistently in both sync and async modes. ## JSONC Config File Support Extended config file detection to support both .json and .jsonc extensions: - getUserConfigDir() now checks for oh-my-opencode.jsonc first - Both cross-platform (~/.config) and Windows (%APPDATA%) paths support JSONC - Enables comments in config files for better documentation ## Test Improvements - Increased sync resume test timeout from 5s to 10s - Test was flaky because timeout = MIN_STABILITY_TIME_MS (race condition) - Added clarifying comments about timing requirements ## Code Cleanup - Removed unused 'os' imports from plugin-config.ts and config-handler.ts - Removed ALL debug logging (hardcoded paths, appendFileSync calls) - Added PR code-yeongyu#638 reference comments for future maintainers ## Verified Test Results (8/8 category + subagent tests pass) | Test | Type | Mode | Result | |-------------------|-------------|-------|--------| | quick | category | async | ✅ | | ultrabrain | category | async | ✅ | | most-capable | category | async | ✅ | | quick | category | sync | ✅ | | librarian | subagent | async | ✅ | | Metis | subagent | async | ✅ | | oracle | subagent | sync | ✅ | | quick + git-master| category | async | ✅ | ## Known Issues & Future Work ### 1. Explore Agent Hangs on Non-Exploration Tasks The explore agent hung when given a simple math query (5+5). This is NOT a regression - explore is a specialized codebase search agent (contextual grep) designed for queries like 'Where is X implemented?' not general Q&A. When given non-exploration tasks, it attempts to search for non-existent patterns and may hang indefinitely due to no max_steps limit. **Recommendation**: Add max_steps: 10 to explore agent config in future PR. ### 2. Clickable Child Sessions Not Working Sessions created via sisyphus_task pass parentID correctly, but don't appear as clickable child sessions in OpenCode's sidebar UI. Investigation showed: - parentID IS being passed to session.create() - kdcokenny/opencode-background-agents uses identical approach - Sessions exist and complete, just not rendered as clickable in UI **Recommendation**: May require OpenCode core change or UI setting discovery. ### 3. Prometheus Agent Correctly Blocked Prometheus (Planner) is a primary agent and correctly rejected when called via sisyphus_task with subagent_type. This is expected behavior - primary agents should only be invoked directly, not via task delegation. ## Files Changed - src/features/background-agent/manager.ts - PR code-yeongyu#638 reference comment - src/tools/sisyphus-task/tools.ts - Sync mode categoryModel fix - src/tools/sisyphus-task/tools.test.ts - Test timeout increase - src/shared/config-path.ts - JSONC extension support - src/plugin-config.ts - Cleanup unused import - src/plugin-handlers/config-handler.ts - Cleanup unused import
