What changed

Adds Orchestrator v1: a lead agent proposes an editable task plan, chooses worker harnesses and models, and supervises execution after the user confirms. Workers share the project checkout, with file-scope scheduling, dependencies that wait for lead acceptance, and controls for feedback, corrections, approvals, cancellation, and recovery.

The local control CLI is available to the lead, and run state and worker transcripts persist with session history.

Why

Users can hand one task to a lead and have it coordinate work across their installed coding agents. The lead receives worker results and blockers, requests corrections, and accepts completed assignments before finishing the run.

UI

  • Adds an Orchestrator option with a v1 badge in the composer.
  • Shows an editable proposal with task instructions, worker model choices, dependencies, and a 1–4 parallel-worker limit.
  • Groups workers under the lead in the sidebar and opens their transcripts in agent tabs for inspection.

Validation

  • npm run check:web: 2,196 tests passed; TypeScript passed.
  • npm run check:rust: formatting and Clippy passed; 268 tests passed.
  • git diff --check: passed.
  • Corrected sidebar tests to exercise expansion on an unblocked worker and preserve automatic expansion for workers needing input.
  • A real-provider end-to-end orchestration run was not performed as part of this PR preparation.

Checklist

  • I ran npm run check (after correcting the sidebar test expectations, both check scripts pass).
  • This PR is small and focused — it contains the full orchestration v1 feature across the runtime and UI.
  • I did not mix unrelated changes

- Line 1116: The session deletion flow around session_delete and delete_session
must clean up orchestration state before removing the session: delete its
orchestration_workers ownership row, remove lead-owned orchestration_runs and
orchestration_sidebar records while releasing its workers, and when deleting a
worker resolve worker_parent then remove that worker from the parent lead’s run
state and sidebar summary. Preserve existing session deletion behavior and
handle both lead and worker sessions.

hasScrollRoom and scrollable checks.
- Around line 51-57: Update innerScrollerTakes and its scrollability check to
match the wheel delta axis: require vertical overflow for vertical movement and
horizontal overflow for horizontal movement before treating an ancestor as
consuming the gesture. Preserve the existing hasScrollRoom geometry check and
ancestor traversal.

In `@src/surfaces/SessionPane.tsx`:
- Around line 567-576: Update the orchestrationRuns predicate used to compute
undoLocked so it only considers runs with active or paused status, matching the
filtering applied by managed. Preserve the existing leadId and task sessionId
checks for those eligible runs.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Await lead session creation before publishing workerDetailRequest.

queueWorkerPanes starts onSelectHistorySession(leadId) and the worker loads concurrently. If the workers finish first, the effect can clear workerDetailRequest while sessionsRef.current still lacks leadId. The effect retries only when the lead session remains present, so this request is lost when that guard fails.

onSelectHistorySession is asynchronous and returns a promise. Awaiting it is compatible with its return contract. Make queueWorkerPanes asynchronous:

Proposed fix
  const queueWorkerPanes = useCallback(
-    (workers: OrchestrationWorkerDetail[]) => {
+    async (workers: OrchestrationWorkerDetail[]) => {
       const list = workers.filter(
         (worker) => worker.leadId && worker.leadId !== worker.sessionId,
       );
       if (!list.length) return;
       const leadId = list[0].leadId;
-      if (!focusOpenSession(leadId)) void onSelectHistorySession(leadId);
+      if (!focusOpenSession(leadId)) {
+        await onSelectHistorySession(leadId);
+      }
+      if (!sessionsRef.current.some((entry) => entry.id === leadId)) return;
       // Finished workers are not open; load stored transcripts before the
       // tabs appear so the pane does not flash the empty state.
-      void Promise.all(
+      await Promise.all(
         list.map((worker) => ensureOpenSession(worker.sessionId)),
-      ).then(() => setWorkerDetailRequest({ leadId, workers: list }));
+      );
+      setWorkerDetailRequest({ leadId, workers: list });
     },
