feat(core): restore background agent roster (#7459)
* feat(core): restore background agent roster

* fix(web-shell): add list_agents to TOOL_DISPLAY_NAMES

The new list_agents core wire tool was added to core's ToolNames but not
to the web-shell TOOL_DISPLAY_NAMES map, causing toolFormatting.drift.test.ts
to fail (expected ['list_agents'] to deeply equal []). Add the missing
'ListAgents' display-name entry so the browser panel shows a friendly name
instead of the raw wire name and the drift guard passes.

* fix(cli): reload old-session background agents on failed resume rollback

When /resume fails after core has swapped but before the UI swap, the catch
block rolls core back to the old session via startNewSession(oldSessionId).
However the forward path already called resetBackgroundStateForSessionSwitch,
which cleared the old session's in-memory background agents. The rollback did
not reload them, so list_agents returned empty for the old session (whose
sidecars are still on disk) until the next process start or successful resume.

Reload the old session's paused background agents after rolling core back, so
the restored roster matches on-disk state. Placed after startNewSession so the
loadPausedBackgroundAgents current-session guard is satisfied; best-effort via
.catch so it never blocks the rollback path.

* fix(web-shell): add zh translation for list_agents tool name

The toolFormatting test 'has a zh translation for every tool in the
display-name map' failed with expected ['list_agents'] to deeply equal []
because list_agents was added to TOOL_DISPLAY_NAMES without a matching
toolName.list_agents zh-CN entry. Add the translation to restore parity.

* fix(cli): resolve CI failures for background-agent roster restore

- Add toolDisplayName.ListAgents translations (en, zh, zh-TW, ca) so the
  new list_agents tool has a zh entry; fixes i18n/index.test.ts.
- Add loadPausedBackgroundAgents and consumePendingRecoveredAgentsNotice
  to the acpAgent worktree test config mock, which loadSession now calls
  via #restoreBackgroundAgentsOnResume; fixes acpAgent.worktree.test.ts.

* refactor(core): extract incompatible-isolation blocked reason to a const

Move the incompatible-isolation blocked-reason string out of an inline
literal into a module-level INCOMPATIBLE_ISOLATION_BLOCKED_REASON const,
matching its four sibling reasons so the text is discoverable by
constant-name grep and edited alongside the others.

* fix(core): preserve retained activity state on failed agent revive

Address review feedback on the background-agent roster restore:

- On a failed completed-agent revive, restore UI state with a non-empty
  guard instead of `??`. Because `restorePausedEntry` resets the paused
  entry's `recentActivities` to `[]`, the previous `failedEntry?.field ??
  completedEntry.field` kept that empty array and dropped the pre-revive
  snapshot (the UI Progress section rendered empty). Applied consistently
  to pendingMessages, recentActivities, and pendingApprovals.

Add regression coverage for previously untested paths:

- failed revive preserves pre-revive recentActivities
- terminal-agent cap admits only the newest MAX_RETAINED_TERMINAL_AGENTS
  completed sidecars on restore
- /resume rollback reloads the old session's background agents
- headless resume prepends the recovered-agents notice to the prompt

* test(cli): cover interrupted-turn continuation not consuming recovered-agents notice

Add ACP and headless regression tests asserting an interrupted-turn
continuation does not consume the one-shot recovered-agents notice
(the !isContinue / !continueInterrupted guards), so it is delivered on
the user's next ordinary prompt. Mirrors the existing slash-command
coverage.

QwenLM%2Fqwen-code | Trendshift

The open-source AI coding agent that lives in your terminal.

中文 | Deutsch | français | 日本語 | Русский | Português (Brasil)

Why Qwen Code?

  • Agentic out of the box — Auto-Memory, Auto-Skills, SubAgents, Agent Teams, and MCP. Dynamic workflows, zero setup.
  • Open-source, inside and out — The framework and the Qwen models are open-source. They evolve together. No vendor lock-in.
  • Multi-protocol — Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Qwen APIs. Any third-party provider or local model (Ollama / vLLM). Switch at runtime.
  • Beyond the terminal — IDE plugins, Desktop app, daemon mode, SDKs, and IM bots (Telegram / DingTalk / WeChat / Feishu).

Tip

Qwen Code is actively iterating on itself — using its own agent and models to file issues, submit PRs, review code, and run tests. Powered by the community, driven by AI.

Installation

Linux / macOS:

curl -fsSL https://qwen-code-assets.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/installation/install-qwen-standalone.sh | bash

Windows:

irm https://qwen-code-assets.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/installation/install-qwen-standalone.ps1 | iex

Restart your terminal after installation to ensure environment variables take effect.

NPM / Homebrew

NPM (requires Node.js 22+):

npm install -g @qwen-code/qwen-code@latest

Homebrew (macOS / Linux):

brew install qwen-code

Quick Start

qwen          # Launch interactive terminal UI
# Inside the session:
/auth         # Configure your provider and API key

See the Authentication Guide and Settings Reference for detailed setup.

Contributions are welcome! See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines.

Acknowledgments

This project was originally based on Google Gemini CLI v0.8.2. We gratefully acknowledge the Gemini CLI team's excellent work. Starting from Qwen Code v0.1, we stopped syncing with upstream and began independent development as a multi-protocol, multi-platform agent framework with deep integrations for Qwen models and beyond.
