Thread the director package turn budget through spawn_agent (CL-7001) - #622
Merged
TheGreatAxios merged 1 commit intoAug 24, 2026
Conversation
spawn_agent resolved a director's turn budget as Infinity because resolveDirectorDispatch never surfaced the package's nudge.maxTurns and agent-fleet.ts never passed it to resolveSubAgentMaxTurns, unlike task(). Also removes the false "hard cap 4 workers" prompt claim (no such cap exists), corrects the task-watchdog exemption comment (no-progress/thrash detectors were removed), and deletes the unread profile.maxTurns config knob.

Summary
spawn_agentresolved to an unbounded turn budget for a director dispatch becauseresolveDirectorDispatchnever returned the package'snudge.maxTurnsandagent-fleet.tsnever passed it toresolveSubAgentMaxTurns.spawn_agentnow resolves the same finite package budget astask().src/agent/prompts.tsandsrc/agent/directors/skywalker/package.ts— there is no concurrency cap in the fleet code.src/tui/tool-execution-watchdog.ts— it referencedno-progress/thrashdetectors that no longer exist; exemption behavior unchanged.maxTurnsfield from project/named profile config (src/config/profiles.ts,src/config/index.ts) since nothing read the resolved value. Deleted rather than wired, to avoid inventing new precedence rules for a knob operators can't currently rely on.No new detector, cap, or limit added.
Test plan
bun test src/subagent/spawn-budget.test.ts— forintern,explore,build,critique,greybeard:spawn_agentandtask()resolve the same finite budget; non-director dispatch stays unbounded (deliberate).bun run check— full gate: 0 lint errors, tsc clean, 5340 tests pass / 0 fail.Replaces #621, which was opened on a branch name that would have auto-closed the wrong Linear issue. Identical commits.
