arkonandClaude Opus 4.5 3f73a5f908 chore: remove non-functional subagent input feature
Subagents (Task tool background agents) are autonomous and cannot
receive input mid-execution. They complete and return results to
the parent session. Removed the input UI and API endpoint.

Suggested Fixes for Respawn Controller Issues

DO NOT EXECUTE - Waiting for user review

Fixes

Fix for Issue #1

Send/wait state stuck

Stuck in waiting_update - the controller is trying to send a command but may not be receiving expected response.

Check terminal output:

curl -sk 'https://localhost:3000/api/sessions/5ecdf859-3605-42d8-b0a2-f8f0a1b5ff98/terminal?tail=10000' | tail -100

Try restarting respawn:

curl -sk -X POST 'https://localhost:3000/api/sessions/5ecdf859-3605-42d8-b0a2-f8f0a1b5ff98/respawn/stop'
curl -sk -X POST 'https://localhost:3000/api/sessions/5ecdf859-3605-42d8-b0a2-f8f0a1b5ff98/respawn/start'

Fix for Issue #2

Check for hung session

The session may be hung. Check:

  1. Session process status:
screen -ls | grep reddit
  1. Attach to screen and check:
screen -r claudeman-w3-reddit-analyse
# Press Ctrl+A D to detach
  1. If hung, restart the session via web UI or:
curl -sk -X POST 'https://localhost:3000/api/sessions/5ecdf859-3605-42d8-b0a2-f8f0a1b5ff98/stop'
# Then start a new session

Fix for Issue #3

Check for hung session

The session may be hung. Check:

  1. Session process status:
screen -ls | grep reddit
  1. Attach to screen and check:
screen -r claudeman-w3-reddit-analyse
# Press Ctrl+A D to detach
  1. If hung, restart the session via web UI or:
curl -sk -X POST 'https://localhost:3000/api/sessions/5ecdf859-3605-42d8-b0a2-f8f0a1b5ff98/stop'
# Then start a new session

Fix for Issue #4

Watching state stuck

The controller is watching but not detecting idle. Possible causes:

  1. Session is actively working (expected behavior)
  2. Idle detection thresholds too high

Check session activity:

curl -sk 'https://localhost:3000/api/sessions/5ecdf859-3605-42d8-b0a2-f8f0a1b5ff98' | jq '{status, lastActivityAt}'

If truly idle, try adjusting config:

curl -sk -X POST 'https://localhost:3000/api/sessions/5ecdf859-3605-42d8-b0a2-f8f0a1b5ff98/respawn/config' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"idleThresholdMs": 30000}'
