The changes stay within the parent wake delivery behavior for issue
#2384. Claude Bridge handling extends the same wake text selection and preserves hidden wake behavior. The added tests, ODD record, and scheduler adjustment support this implementation and its verification. No unrelated feature change is shown.

Explanation
Issue
#2384requires wake text to match the deliveries pending for the current wake. The implementation tracks kinds and resolves single and mixed text correctly. However, the supplied review evidence identifies thatagent_startandresetParentDeliveryclearwakeOwedwithout clearingpendingWakeKinds. A consumed job kind can therefore remain pending and combine with a later monitor kind. The later monitor wake then uses neutral text instead of monitor-specific text. The added tests do not cover this stale-kind sequence.Resolution
Clear
pendingWakeKindswhereveragent_startandresetParentDeliveryconsume or resetwakeOwed. Add a regression test that holds a job delivery during prompt start, consumes the owed wake, then delivers a monitor event and verifies the monitor-specific wake text.

Clear delivery kinds when a run or session consumes the pending wake.
If wake dispatch fails and the user starts a prompt before the retry, agent_start clears wakeOwed but leaves pendingWakeKinds intact. A later delivery can then receive mixed-kind wake text even when it is the only new delivery. Clear the set when agent_start consumes the wake and in resetParentDelivery when the session changes.

Thanks for picking this up so quickly, Carlos! The approach matches what I had in mind in #2384, and CI is green. I can confirm CodeRabbit's finding with a reproduction.
Failing test (append to test("a run that consumes the owed wake does not leak its kind into the next wake (#2384)", async () => {
const { pi, tools, fire, sent } = fakePi("openai");
const harness = deps();
const timers = recordTimers(harness.deps);
const jobs = fakeJobShell();
gentleAgents(pi, {}, { ...harness.deps, jobShell: jobs.shell, jobOutputDir: () => jobs.dir });
const { ctx } = fakeContext();
try {
await fire("session_start", ctx);
await tools.get("bash_background")!.execute("b1", { command: "make test", label: "test" }, undefined, undefined, ctx);
await fire("before_agent_start", ctx, { type: "before_agent_start", prompt: "go", systemPrompt: "base", systemPromptOptions: {} });
jobs.runs[0]!.exit(0);
await jobIo();
await tick();
assert.equal(sent.filter((e) => e.message.customType === "gentle-agents.wake").length, 0, "prompt start holds the wake");
await fire("agent_start", ctx);
await fire("agent_end", ctx);
await fire("agent_settled", ctx);
await tick();
await tools.get("monitor")!.execute("m1", { command: "tail -f app.log", timeout_seconds: 60 }, undefined, undefined, ctx);
jobs.runs[1]!.onData(Buffer.from("EVENT 1\n"));
timers.run(200);
await jobIo();
await eventually(() => sent.some((e) => e.message.customType === "gentle-agents.wake"), "wake must be dispatched");
const wakes = sent.filter((e) => e.message.customType === "gentle-agents.wake").map((e) => e.message.content);
assert.deepEqual(wakes, ["Review the delivered monitor events and continue."]);
} finally {
await fire("session_shutdown", ctx);
jobs.cleanup();
}
});On the PR head it fails with const resetParentDelivery = (ctx: ExtensionContext | undefined) => {
...
wakeOwed = false;
+ pendingWakeKinds.clear();
endPromptStart(); pi.on("agent_start", () => {
...
// The run carries everything stored while the parent was idle.
wakeOwed = false;
+ pendingWakeKinds.clear();Could you add both, along with the test? After that, it looks good to me. |

The native path is solid: pendingWakeKinds coalesces per dispatch, is restored in the catch (extensions/gentle-agents.ts:1035-1061), and nativeParentWakeText maps the single-kind and mixed cases cleanly. Verified 4/4 of the new tests and check-types reports 0 regressions.
One gap, though — the issue this closes is not fully closed:
dispatchWake has two branches (extensions/gentle-agents.ts:1044-1052). The claude-bridge branch sends bridgeWake(), and that text is built from PARENT_WAKE_TEXT (:109):
[System-generated Gentle Agents notification, not written by the user] Subagent output was delivered to this session above. Review it and continue.
So on a claude-bridge parent, a background-job exit notice or a monitor events notice wakes the model with exactly the wording #2384 complains about. The kinds set is snapshotted and cleared before the branch (:1035-1036) and is simply not used there.
The tests do not cover it because all four fakePi("openai") calls exercise the native branch, while fakePi's default provider is "claude-bridge" (tests/gentle-agents.test.ts:128); no test asserts wake text for a bridge parent receiving a job or monitor notice.
I understand why that branch may have been left alone: bridgeWakeIdentity.text is persisted and reused, restoreBridgeWakeIdentity reconstructs ownership by comparing data.text === bridgeWakeText(data.nonce) (:887-898), and the markdown transformer hides the message by exact match (:907-909). Varying the wording per delivery would mean issuing a per-wake identity (new nonce plus matching text) or changing those comparisons — more than a one-line change.
So: either extend the bridge wake, or state explicitly in the PR/issue that #2384 stays open for claude-bridge and file the follow-up. The issue title is not transport-specific, and the bridge is the provider this project dogfoods on. Adding one bridge test would make whichever decision visible.
Not blocking the native fix itself.
…man-Programming#2384) The claude-bridge branch still sent the subagent-only wake text after background jobs and monitors. Derive the bridge text from the same delivery kinds as the native wake, keep the nonce identity, and hide every kind variant. Remove a timer unref in the stuck-job shutdown test that let the event loop drain and cancel later tests.

Problem
When a parent session is idle and Gentle delivers something to it,
gentle-agentsstores the payload and wakes the parent session with one hidden message whose text was always:Because
sendToParentcentralizes deliveries for subagent results, stale notices, relayed messages, background job exit notices, and monitor events, every wake told the model to review "subagent output", even when only abash_backgroundjob exited or amonitoremitted events.
