Two changes.

result_schema on Agent and AgentSwarm. A flat JSON Schema the subagent must satisfy by ending its final message with a matching JSON object.

  • Agent output carries the parsed object in a [structured_result] section.
  • AgentSwarm replaces each compliant child's prose with its object, so a large swarm report is mergeable instead of a pile of paragraphs.
  • Extraction is forgiving (bare object, code fence, embedded in prose); validation is strict on required keys and top-level types. Non-compliant children keep their prose plus a marker.

Fullscreen transcript anchoring. A short conversation stranded at the top of the screen with a dead void between it and the input box. It now sits against the dock, with the empty space above it.

  • A squeezed terminal gives up transcript rows instead of dropping the activity and todo lines.
  • Covered by frame-level tests that drive a virtual terminal and assert the rendered viewport; verified to fail against the previous layout.

Tested, passes CI. Done.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional JSON result schemas for agents and agent swarms.
    • Structured results are validated and extracted automatically; noncompliant responses remain available with a clear marker.
    • Improved fullscreen layouts for short conversations, compressed terminals, and narrow screens.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Short transcripts now stay anchored near the conversation dock.
    • Dock content is preserved more reliably when terminal space is limited.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR fixes fullscreen transcript and dock sizing. It also adds optional JSON result schemas to Agent and AgentSwarm, including prompt guidance, extraction, validation, structured rendering, failure markers, and tests.

Changes

Fullscreen layout

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fullscreen dock sizing and regression coverage
apps/kimi-code/src/tui/tui-state.ts, apps/kimi-code/test/tui/fullscreen-layout.test.ts, .changeset/fullscreen-dock-anchor.md
Fullscreen layout sizing now anchors short transcripts near the dock and gives transcript overflow priority during compression. Tests cover scrolling, dock preservation, and narrow terminals. The changeset records the layout fix.

Structured subagent results

Layer / File(s) Summary
Structured result contract and extraction
packages/agent-core-v2/src/agent/tools/agent/agent.ts, packages/agent-core-v2/src/agent/tools/agent-swarm/agent-swarm.ts, packages/agent-core-v2/src/agent/tools/agent/resultSchema.ts, packages/agent-core-v2/src/index.ts, packages/agent-core-v2/test/tool/resultSchema.test.ts, .changeset/subagent-result-schema.md
Agent and AgentSwarm accept optional object schemas. New helpers generate instructions, extract JSON objects, validate supported types, and return success or failure results. Tests cover extraction and schema validation.
Agent structured-result flow
packages/agent-core-v2/src/agent/tools/agent/agentTool.ts
The Agent tool adds schema instructions to child prompts and appends serialized structured results to successful responses. Failed extraction preserves the prose and adds [structured_result_missing].
Agent swarm structured-result flow
packages/agent-core-v2/src/agent/tools/agent-swarm/agentSwarmTool.ts, packages/agent-core-v2/test/agent/swarm/swarm.test.ts
AgentSwarm propagates schema instructions to child tasks and renders valid child results as JSON. Unstructured child output remains available with a missing-result marker.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Test the production fullscreen layout tree.

This fixture does not execute createTUIState. It can pass after a production regression. The production dock includes queueContainer and btwPanelContainer at apps/kimi-code/src/tui/tui-state.ts Lines 127-128, while this fixture adds footer at Lines 46-53.

Extract the fullscreen root construction into a shared builder, or construct the production TUI state in this test. Use the real dock children in the assertions.

Select the final JSON object before older fenced objects.

Lines 41-55 add fenced candidates before reverse-scanned objects. A valid object in an earlier code fence is selected before a newer final object. A nested object can also win when it has the same fields as the outer result.

Track candidate positions. Parse candidates by latest closing position, and prefer the outer object when positions are equal. Add coverage for an earlier fenced object followed by a final object.

Validate integer values as integers.

Line 132 accepts 1.5 for a property with type: "integer". This marks a non-conforming result as structured output.

Split the number and integer cases. Use Number.isInteger(value) for integer. Add a fractional-value test.

A subagent's result is prose, so a parent fanning out over many children
gets back paragraphs it has to re-read, and no child can build on
another's findings. Agent and AgentSwarm now accept result_schema, a flat
JSON Schema the child must satisfy by ending its final message with a
matching JSON object. Extraction is forgiving — bare object, code fence,
or embedded in prose — but validation is not: a value that does not match
is reported as missing rather than passed off as structured. The Agent
tool surfaces the parsed object in a [structured_result] section, and
AgentSwarm replaces each compliant child's prose with its object so a
large swarm report is mergeable, keeping the prose plus a marker for
children that failed to comply.

Fullscreen mode stranded a short transcript at the top of the screen with
a dead void between it and the dock, so a fresh session read as a gap
with text floating above it. A growable spacer above the ScrollView
bottom-anchors the transcript; once it outgrows the viewport the spacer
collapses and the ScrollView absorbs the height deficit. The dock's
shrink weight is dwarfed by the transcript's, so shrink pressure can
never crush the activity and todo rows the way an evenly weighted stack
would. Covered by frame-level tests driving a virtual terminal, verified
to fail against the previous layout.
