Summary

page live subagent transcripts through the existing host-backed artifact route
avoid waiting for a busy live agent command before disk fallback
cover the stalled-command regression and document the route contract

Verification

bun test --parallel components/SubagentTranscriptDialog.test.mjs
npm run typecheck

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Live subagent transcripts now load from on-disk session artifacts without waiting for the agent process to respond.
- Opening a transcript dialog retrieves its content directly, including paged transcript data.

Walkthrough

The transcript dialog now loads transcript pages from the session subagent API. It no longer requests pages from the live agent or retries through a disk-API fallback.

Changes: Subagent transcript paging

Layer / File(s)	Summary
API-based transcript paging `app/api/sessions/[id]/subagents/[subagentId]/route.ts`, `components/SubagentTranscriptDialog.tsx`, `components/SubagentTranscriptDialog.test.mjs`, `AGENTS.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`	The dialog requests transcript pages from the session subagent API using a byte offset. The test verifies that opening a live subagent transcript loads its content without issuing `get_subagent_messages`. The endpoint description and documentation now describe host-backed transcript paging.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to bf96a

Transcript pages no longer wait on a busy process and retain the existing access and file-path controls. No material security, ownership, or rollback regression was established.

No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — The changed caller exercises existing host read authority for a selected session and subagent; it does not introduce a write operation or arbitrary client-supplied filesystem path. The same route was already available to callers before this PR, so increased use for live pages does not establish expanded attackable scope.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — The inspected request gate does not exempt the session subagent route. When a web password is enabled, it requires a valid web session or trusted-proxy credential and otherwise rejects API requests. With no password enabled, it permits requests. This is an existing server-wide authentication posture, not evidence of per-tenant authorization.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: subagent live transcript retrieval no longer stalls on a busy agent command. The raw summary shows the dialog now reads transcript pages from the session subagent API with fromByte, drops the live RPC request and its fallback, and adds a test that asserts no get_subagent_messages command is sent. The title uses the conventional fix(subagents) prefix and is 52 characters, which is concise.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Handle the artifact reader's error field.

If a transcript exceeds the readable size cap, readSubagentTranscriptPage returns HTTP 200 with error, no messages, and no byte progress. This cast accepts that response as a successful page. loadTranscriptPage then shows “no messages” and hides Load more instead of displaying the error.

Include error in the response type and throw when it is present, so the existing error handler displays the reason.
