T3's delegated Codex workers are persisted as ordinary chats, so bulk Quest runs fill Codex Recents. Route Codex workers from T3 Code on Linux through the existing resumable quest agent runner in registered Quest worktrees. Native delegation remains the default elsewhere.

The local reproduction had 634 unarchived automated worker chats. Cross-checking T3's run state identified 629 completed workers, which were archived without deleting their transcripts. Codex exec sessions are classified separately and did not appear in the desktop recent-chat listing.

Public API and wire impact: none. This changes the bundled coordination instructions; it does not change CLI flags, session persistence, or model routing.

Validation

• Quest's systemd supervision check passes on the affected Linux host.
• bun run vitest run test/skills.test.ts: 56 tests passed.
• Generated instructions for spawn, run, and complete include the routing rule.
• just check: passed (TypeScript, formatting, quest validation, workflow, shell, and Nix checks).
• just test: passed (34 test files, 1,222 tests passed and 5 skipped; installer and lifecycle suites passed).

Caused by

No single Quest PR caused this: T3 stores delegated Codex workers as ordinary sessions; the shared coordinator lacked a rule for that integration.

Walkthrough

The agent-routing instructions now direct Linux T3 Code Codex workers to use quest agent with a worktree checkout. In other cases, they direct agents to use a native sub-agent on the current harness or quest agent on another harness.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 26640

The instructions route T3 Code Codex workers on Linux through quest agent. On hosts without the required systemd supervision, the launch fails with a clear error, but the guide does not say what to do next. Add a one-line blocked-state instruction; this is a low-risk follow-up.

State what to do when Linux supervision is unavailable.

On an unsupported host, quest agent cannot start the required Codex worker. The error states the prerequisites, but the coordination guide does not say to report the blocker.

Closing: the maintainer chose to drop this. The rule hard-codes one host app's behavior (T3 Code delegating Codex workers) into the shared coordination guide, which this repository keeps independent of any particular harness. Codex Recents clutter is better handled in T3 Code or in the maintainer's own configuration.
