From f8defe3ae1f19193843ab3fbefe667322ebf50e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Administrator <1280842908@qq.com> Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 23:06:16 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] feat(agent): implement graceful finish vs hard abort for SubTurn lifecycle Problem: When parent turn finishes early, all child SubTurns receive "context canceled" error,because child context was derived from parent context. Solution: Implement a lifecycle management system that distinguishes between: - Graceful finish (Finish(false)): signals parentEnded, children continue - Hard abort (Finish(true)): immediately cancels all children Changes: - turn_state.go: - Add parentEnded atomic.Bool to signal parent completion - Add parentTurnState reference for IsParentEnded() checks - Modify Finish(isHardAbort bool) to distinguish abort types - subturn.go: - Add Critical bool to SubTurnConfig (Critical SubTurns continue after parent ends) - Add Timeout time.Duration for SubTurn self-protection - Use independent context (context.Background()) instead of derived context - SubTurns check IsParentEnded() to decide whether to continue or exit - loop.go: - Call Finish(false) for normal completion (graceful) - Add IsParentEnded() check in LLM iteration loop - steering.go: - HardAbort calls Finish(true) to immediately cancel children Behavior: - Normal finish: parentEnded=true, children continue, orphan results delivered - Hard abort: all children cancelled immediately via context - Critical SubTurns: continue running after parent finishes gracefully - Non-Critical SubTurns: can exit gracefully when IsParentEnded() returns true --- pkg/agent/loop.go | 21 ++++- pkg/agent/steering.go | 3 +- pkg/agent/subturn.go | 65 +++++++------ pkg/agent/subturn_test.go | 190 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- pkg/agent/turn_state.go | 67 +++++++++++--- 5 files changed, 284 insertions(+), 62 deletions(-) diff --git a/pkg/agent/loop.go b/pkg/agent/loop.go index 5a2a51a7b..b4a7774c3 100644 --- a/pkg/agent/loop.go +++ b/pkg/agent/loop.go @@ -1073,10 +1073,12 @@ func (al *AgentLoop) runAgentLoop( } } - // Signal completion to rootTS so it knows it is finished, terminating any active sub-turns. + // Signal completion to rootTS so it knows it is finished. // Only call Finish() if this is a root turn (not a SubTurn recursively calling runAgentLoop). + // Use isHardAbort=false for normal completion (graceful finish). + // This allows Critical SubTurns to continue running and deliver orphan results. if isRootTurn { - rootTS.Finish() + rootTS.Finish(false) } // If last tool had ForUser content and we already sent it, we might not need to send final response @@ -1211,6 +1213,21 @@ func (al *AgentLoop) runLLMIteration( for iteration < agent.MaxIterations || len(pendingMessages) > 0 { iteration++ + // Check if parent turn has ended (graceful finish). + // This is only relevant for SubTurns (turnState with parentTurnState != nil). + // If parent ended and this SubTurn is not Critical, exit gracefully. + if ts := turnStateFromContext(ctx); ts != nil && ts.IsParentEnded() { + logger.InfoCF("agent", "Parent turn ended, SubTurn continues or exits", map[string]any{ + "agent_id": agent.ID, + "iteration": iteration, + "turn_id": ts.turnID, + }) + // For now, we continue running.
