fix(mobile): show complete subagent details

[jakeleventhal]

Problem

The mobile Agents sheet and transcript cards omit the model and workspace information available in desktop subagent tooltips. Progress/results are also squeezed into one line, and can replace the visible status.

Change

Both mobile views now render each agent with the same compact row:

• status dot, title · status (status colored by state), elapsed time, and a chevron when the agent has its own thread
• provider icon · provider · model, plus a branch/folder icon for any workspace that differs from the parent
• up to three lines of progress (live) or result (settled)

The Agents sheet and the expanded transcript card share one SubagentRow component. Model resolution, workspace comparison, and bounded detail formatting are shared with desktop through client-runtime. Metadata uses existing scoped shell/config subscriptions without loading child transcripts, and each elapsed timer re-renders separately from metadata.

Scope and approval

Maintainer-requested mobile parity with the existing desktop subagent information, including shared code where appropriate. The row layout follows the design suggested in review. No server or wire-contract changes.

Verification

• Focused tests pass for shared display, mobile row presentation, and card presentation. Coverage includes catalog aliases/custom models, missing models, workspace differences, and live/settled detail selection. All 292 tests under apps/mobile/src/features/threads pass.
• Scoped mobile, web, and client-runtime typechecks and targeted lint passed.
• Verified the Agents sheet and expanded transcript cards in the iOS development client, including child-thread navigation from a row. Compared with the web UI used by desktop. Android and the Electron shell were not exercised.
• Screenshots use the same isolated projection fixture; elapsed time advances between captures. The before view is from upstream code, and the after views include this change.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This is a cross-surface production behavior change that adds a new shared mobile row, runtime metadata subscriptions, and shared web/mobile formatting rather than a small isolated fix. An unresolved accessibility finding about screen-reader labels also warrants human validation across the untested platforms.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds client-runtime utilities for subagent model and workspace metadata and detail previews. Mobile agent views and the web tooltip use these utilities. Mobile agent rows use a shared component.

Changes

Subagent display

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve subagent display values packages/client-runtime/src/state/subagentDisplay.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/subagentDisplay.test.ts	Adds helpers to resolve model and workspace metadata and create status-based detail previews. Tests cover model labels, workspace cases, and preview behavior.
Add the shared mobile subagent row apps/mobile/src/features/threads/SubagentRow.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/SubagentStatusDot.tsx	Adds a row that renders status, elapsed content, metadata, optional detail, and an opening chevron. Updates status-dot text classes and supported placements.
Use the shared row in mobile agent views apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadAgentsSheet.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/thread-subagent-group.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/threadAgentsPresentation.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/threadAgentsPresentation.test.ts	Uses the shared row in the agent sheet and grouped-agent view. Passes environment and model data, and updates elapsed-time and detail-preview rendering.
Use shared display values in the web tooltip apps/web/src/components/chat/SubagentTooltipContent.tsx	Uses shared metadata and detail-preview helpers. Types the status prop as an orchestration status.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4269c

The subagent detail changes show no concrete regression in the reviewed display, navigation, or accessibility paths and are ready to merge, subject to normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4269c

The examined changes preserve environment-scoped metadata access, existing navigation controls, and plain-text rendering. No introduced security issue was established. Incomplete security coverage limits confidence in a broader conclusion.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The examined change affects display behavior across mobile and web, with additional mobile metadata subscriptions and icon rendering. Its demonstrated authority remains scoped client-state reads and existing child-thread navigation; no new persistent write or privileged operation was identified in these paths.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Both mobile callers retain the child-thread availability guard and caller-owned navigation. Base/head comparison preserves the existing environment selection; the extracted row cannot independently choose another environment or initiate navigation. These client-side controls do not establish server-side authorization.
• observed — Provider icon URLs reach the native image loader only through the existing registry-icon resolver, which requires HTTPS, the configured official hostname, no non-default port, and no URL credentials. The new row reuses this control. This establishes initial URL validation, not the behavior of downstream redirects.

🟡 Medium threads/SubagentRow.tsx:126

Workspace details are announced without their Branch:, Worktree:, or Project: label, so values such as a branch name are ambiguous to screen-reader users. The View carrying accessibilityLabel is not accessible, so its label is ignored while the containing accessible row aggregates only descendant text; mark this view as accessible so the type is announced.

Suggested change

	// Not its own accessibility element: the enclosing row reads this
	// label in place of the icon, keeping each agent a single stop.
	<View

Confirmed. Fabric flattens a View whose only distinguishing prop is accessibilityLabel, so 81395aa dropped the label: in the iOS simulator's accessibility tree, the row read "·, divide, fix/subagent-lifecycle". Rather than restoring accessible, which can give the segment its own focus stop, 4269ca4 uses collapsable={false} to keep the native view. The row now reads "…, Codex · GPT-6.1-Sol, Branch: fix/subagent-lifecycle, …" as a single element. The commit also hides the decorative title separator from the label.

this seems a bit verbose for the transcirpt? is that not even collapsible?
