Fixes half of #583: ask bot A to "make a routine for bot B" and A would create the routine — scheduled on itself. The propose_routine tool had no way to name a target (the model literally could not express "for @b"), and the API then hard-bound the card and routine to the sender.

What

  • propose_routine gains an optional flat for_bot_id (id from list_bots; omitted = schedule for yourself, byte-for-byte the old behavior — the key is absent from the POST body).
  • The route resolves and authorizes the target up front with teaching errors: unknown id → 404 "call list_bots and copy the exact id", different section → 403 (same rule as ask_bot). Passing your own id is the same as omitting it.
  • The target rides inside the card's fingerprinted operation (forBot: { botId, name }), so a confirmed card cannot be redirected after it is shown — same immutability the rest of the payload already has.
  • Card authority stays with the proposing conversation (quota, thread ownership, resolve checks all unchanged); the card says who it's for: "Schedule "X" for @b?" plus a "For: @b — each run uses that bot's engine and permissions" line.
  • On confirm, the routine is created with the target's botId, so the scheduler runs it as that bot. sourceThreadId still points at the proposing conversation.
  • The target is authorized twice: at propose time and again at confirm time (validateTarget hook) — the card can sit open indefinitely while the target bot is deleted or moved to another section; the refusal lands on the card as held text.

Scope notes

  • propose_routine_action (update/pause/…) stays owner-only; managing another bot's routine is done from that bot's own chat.
  • list_routines still lists only the calling bot's routines — B sees the routine, A doesn't own it.

How verified

  • New service tests: target binding on confirm, self-schedule unchanged, propose-time refusal, confirm-time refusal after target deletion (nothing created, refusal written onto the card).
  • Route-level integration: unknown target → 404 with list_bots guidance; happy path across two bots asserts card title + botId: teammate.id + sourceThreadId on the created routine.
  • Proxy test: for_bot_id forwarded beside (never inside) the routine definition; omitted case still sends the exact legacy body.
  • Mutation checks: reverting the apply-time binding, either authorization check, or the proxy forwarding each fails the suite.
  • tsc clean; routine/proxy/index suites green (48 + 127); lint parity with main exact on every touched file.

Part 1 of #583 — the ask_bot busy-peer dead-end is a separate PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Routines can now be proposed for another bot in the same section.
    • Confirmation cards identify the bot assigned to the routine.
    • Target bots are validated when proposed and confirmed.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Invalid or unauthorized targets are rejected with clear errors.
    • Routines are no longer incorrectly assigned to the proposer when a target is specified.

Ask bot A to make a routine for bot B and it scheduled the routine on
itself: the tool had no way to name a target and the API hard-bound the
card and routine to the sender. propose_routine now takes an optional
flat for_bot_id (id from list_bots; omitted = self, unchanged). The
route resolves and authorizes the target with teaching errors (unknown
id, different section), the target rides inside the card's fingerprinted
operation so a shown card cannot be redirected, and on confirm the
routine is created with the target's botId so runs use that bot's
engine and permissions. The target is re-authorized at confirm time —
the card can sit open while the target bot is deleted or moved — and a
refusal lands on the card as held text. Card authority, quotas, and
propose_routine_action stay with the proposing bot.

Part 1 of #583.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Routine proposals now support an optional target bot. The API and agent proxy forward the target. The service validates the target at proposal and confirmation time, displays it on confirmation cards, and assigns the routine to that bot.

Changes

Cross-bot routine targeting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Target contract and routine execution
shared/routine-request.ts, server/routine-requests.ts
Create operations now store optional target bot metadata. The service validates targets during proposal and confirmation, updates card text, and assigns confirmed routines to the target bot.
API and agent request wiring
server/index.ts, server/drivers/agents-proxy.ts
The endpoint resolves and authorizes forBotId. The propose_routine tool sends it as a top-level forBotId field.
Cross-bot behavior coverage
server/routine-requests.test.ts, server/index.test.ts, server/drivers/agents-proxy.test.ts
Tests cover valid targets, missing or unauthorized targets, deleted targets, self-targeting, routine assignment, card content, and request forwarding.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9e624

This change lets routines be scheduled for another authorized bot while preserving self-scheduling behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

… convert to delegations

The bare 'Delegated turn did not finish' chip threw away the
turn.completed stopReason that would have explained every failure in
the milind-soni#583 user report — it now reads '… — auth_required' (etc.), on the
channel chip, the delegation receipt, and ask_bot's reply when a failed
turn produced no text.

ask_bot's fixed 4-minute ceiling silently lost the reply of any peer
doing legitimately slow work. A timed-out ask now converts into a
delegation claim ticket: the existing watch mirrors the terminal state
into the channel and the asker's thread when the turn settles, and
check/wait_delegation read the receipt (status 'running' meanwhile).
The asker's tool reply says what happened and what to do next turn; a
'still working — ask converted to a delegation' chip lands for the
human. Ceiling configurable via OMB_ASK_BOT_TIMEOUT_MS (min 5s,
default 4 minutes unchanged).

Closes the visibility gap behind milind-soni#583's user report (parts 1-2: milind-soni#584,
milind-soni#585).
