The old workflow approximated waiting by polling show for a short fixed period. This adds an explicit event-driven devspace agents wait <id>... operation and makes show an immediate snapshot.

One wait call validates all targets first, deduplicates IDs in first-seen order, follows the work active when the call begins, and resolves when every target is terminal. A finite timeout returns a complete ordered snapshot with unfinished agents marked wait="timeout"; it does not progressively stream fragments. Disconnecting cancels only the waiter, not agent execution. Protocol, client, daemon, manager, CLI, timeout, ordering, and cancellation tests are included, and the full suite passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added agents wait to wait for one or more agents to finish.
    • Supports configurable timeouts and JSON output.
    • Reports completed, failed, stopped, running, and timed-out agent states.
    • Agent status display now returns the initial observation immediately.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Pending waits are cancelled when the client connection closes.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for waiting, timeouts, failures, missing agents, and disconnects.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds devspace agents wait across the local agent manager, daemon protocol, client, and CLI. It supports multiple agents, timeout and abort handling, disconnect cancellation, structured results, and timeout markers. agents show now returns the initial observation without polling.

Changes

Agent wait workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manager wait state and results
src/local-agent-manager.ts, src/local-agent-store.ts, src/local-agent-manager.test.ts
The manager tracks active turn IDs and waits for multiple agents. It returns completed, running, failed, or stopped results with timeout and abort handling.
Daemon protocol and client transport
src/local-agent-daemon-protocol.ts, src/local-agent-daemon.ts, src/local-agent-client.ts, src/local-agent-daemon-lifecycle.ts, src/*daemon*.test.ts
The daemon protocol and client support agent.wait. The daemon forwards abort signals when sockets close. Protocol fixtures use version 4.
CLI wait and observation output
src/cli.ts, src/cli.test.ts, src/local-agent-presentation.ts
The CLI parses agent IDs and timeout values, invokes client.wait, and renders JSON or XML results. agents show no longer polls. Running timeout results include wait="timeout" in XML.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d855f

The new wait flow can omit a daemon-provided empty response instead of preserving it, changing the result shape for callers that distinguish an empty string from an absent field. This is a bounded correctness issue; the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a small fix.

A rabbit sends a waiting call

Through daemon halls where turn lights glow
Timeout flags mark runners still
Completed paws return the bill
And disconnected paths let go

Greptile Summary

This PR adds an event-driven, multi-agent agents wait command across the CLI, daemon protocol, client, manager, persistence accessors, and presentation layer.

  • Adds optional wait timeouts and structured terminal/running results.
  • Cancels daemon-side waiting when the requesting socket disconnects without stopping agent turns.
  • Changes agents show to return an immediate snapshot.
  • Increments the local daemon protocol version and expands test coverage for wait behavior.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The PR should not merge until the wait registration race and backward client compatibility break are addressed.

A turn can complete between the durable-state capture and in-memory lookup, causing a false store failure, and the strict protocol bump prevents existing version-3 clients from using a version-4 shared daemon.

Files Needing Attention: src/local-agent-manager.ts, src/local-agent-daemon-lifecycle.ts, src/local-agent-client.ts

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/local-agent-manager.ts Implements event-driven multi-turn waiting, but a completion race can incorrectly turn a successful wait into a store error.
src/local-agent-client.ts Adds the wait request and timeout handling; normal timeout and no-timeout paths are coherent.
src/local-agent-daemon.ts Dispatches wait requests and propagates socket disconnection through an abort signal without stopping turns.
src/local-agent-daemon-protocol.ts Adds validated wait request and response shapes with bounded integer timeouts.
src/cli.ts Adds wait argument parsing and output while changing show to an immediate snapshot.
src/local-agent-daemon-lifecycle.ts Bumps the strictly matched daemon protocol for an additive operation, breaking older clients against a newly started daemon.

Add coverage for the packaged CLI path.

package.json exposes bin/devspace.js, but src/cli.test.ts runs src/cli.ts through node --import tsx. Add a packaged CLI smoke test that invokes bin/devspace.js and covers agents wait.

passing it through optionalContentString. Keep absent or non-string responses
handled according to the existing contract, and preserve the response field so
an empty completed response is not omitted.
