Caller delivery previously suppressed both settlement messages and local
catalog membership. Workflows therefore stopped publishing the durable
parent-child edge that the parent header and recursive discovery require.
The workflow panel only opens running members, and the ordinary sidebar
hides subagent Sessions, so completed workflow transcripts had no normal
navigation path even though their logs still existed.
Record every successfully admitted local child in its parent's catalog,
independently of the result recipient. Membership answers which local
Sessions belong to the parent; delivery answers who consumes this activation's
result. Keeping those decisions separate restores completed-child and
descendant discovery without duplicating workflow completion messages or
adding return guidance to caller-owned work. Publication failures retain
the existing rollback transaction for both delivery modes.
These local children intentionally retain the unified continuable mode:
list_agents includes them, the parent catalog opens their transcripts after
reload, and the existing direct-parent controls can cold-resume them. No
one-shot execution path or additional lifecycle state is introduced.
Caller-owned external executions still use their consumer's membership
records because they have no local Session to open.
Update the existing bilingual service/workflow documentation and decision
records, refresh the owning workflow/Ralph/advanced Session recordings and
Python SDK event expectations, and preserve unrelated recorded stream times.
Validation:
- Full repository build passed.
- 443 subagent, workflow-host, and Ralph tests; 14 list_agents tests passed.
- Four focused headless workflow/advanced snapshot refreshes and replays passed.
- Three shipped-Web workflow tests passed, including completed-child catalog
navigation after reload and the continuable composer.
- Python SDK advanced and scheduler-recovery snapshots refreshed and replayed
through the built dsh CLI with Python 3.12.
- Three discovery regressions fail with the original catalog exclusion and
pass after restoring this fix.
- test:docs (20 gates), doc-sync (42 gates), lint:contracts-ready, Host and
Client TypeScript builds, and git diff --check passed.
