A Cursor subagent's own preToolUse/postToolUse/afterFileEdit/ beforeShellExecution events arrive with conversation_id == session_id == the child's own id, and no payload field names the parent, so each subagent orphans into its own aidr_event with agent_id NULL. Both dispatchers now resolve the parent from Cursor's own transcript tree and send it out of band: x-rogue-parent-session-id the resolved parent conversation id (new) x-rogue-agent-id the child's own conversation id (existing) Headers, not body. The POSTed body stays byte-for-byte what Cursor sent, which is the property that let us prove the empty-conversation_id bug was Cursor's and not ours; rogueFilePreImageB64 on preToolUse remains the one and only body exception, and the new suites assert that on every case. Binding is deterministic, never a guess: the child's own conversation id is looked up as a FILENAME under ~/.cursor/projects/<slug>/agent-transcripts/<parent>/subagents/<id>.jsonl and the parent is that grandparent directory's name, so two concurrent subagents each find their own file. There is no ranking and no "newest file wins". Slug scoping is an optimization with a global-glob fallback that returns the same answer. State lives in two directories under ~/.rogue/: cursor-parent/<child id> caches the resolution (mirroring Copilot's submap, so only a subagent's first hook can ever miss) and cursor-spawn/<slug>/<parent id> is a subagentStart marker. The marker decides only WHETHER TO WAIT, never the answer: on a miss the lookup is polled 30x0.1s only while a marker under this workspace is live, so a brand-new top-level conversation never pays the budget. Fail-open throughout: unresolved sends no headers and POSTs exactly as today. Adds tests/test_hook_sh_cursor.sh (60 assertions, sh and dash), tests/test_hook_ps1_cursor.ps1 (37 assertions) and tests/test_hooks_json_cursor.sh; there was no Cursor dispatcher suite before. The PowerShell suite is wired into validate.yml. FIRE-1896 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
WalkthroughCursor hook dispatchers now resolve subagent parent sessions from transcript filenames, use scoped caches and spawn markers, and send paired identity headers when resolution succeeds. PowerShell and POSIX tests cover attribution, payload preservation, failure handling, lifecycle events, and hook configuration. ChangesCursor subagent attribution
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change adds parent-session attribution headers for Cursor subagent hooks, but it is not merge-ready yet: Windows path handling can affect attribution state, parent events may incur avoidable hook delays during subagent startup, and the backend prerequisite must be deployed first to prevent silent attribution loss.

Make the workspace slug path-safe on Windows and add a regression test. A value such as C:\Users\me\proj can remain rooted, causing Path.Combine to discard the state-directory base and affecting marker creation, scanning, and parent lookup. Normalize separators and drive punctuation into one safe segment, reject unsafe segments, and add a Windows-root test asserting a single safe slug.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
The spawn-marker gate never asks whether this event is the spawning parent. Both dispatchers arm the ~3s poll whenever any marker under the workspace slug is live, so the parent's own blocking events pay the wait for up to the 30s marker TTL. The marker filename is the parent's own conversation id, so each dispatcher can skip the wait when a live marker carries this event's conversation id.

DO NOT MERGE YET
This must not merge until the backend PR (in
qualifire, stacked on #1942) has been DEPLOYED. A plugin that sendsx-rogue-parent-session-idat a backend which ignores it silently loses attribution: the child's events still land in the child's own session, with no error anywhere. Backend first, then this.Also unrun, and both need a human driving Cursor:
is_parallel_worker: true) have never been observed, so it is unmeasured whether they get distinctconversation_ids and distinctsubagents/files. If they share an id, attribution to the parent session is still correct and onlyagent_idstops separating them; the design cannot produce a wrong parent either way. It is also unconfirmed thatsubagentStartfires on every supported Cursor version. If some version does not fire it, the marker gate never arms there and subagents keep today's orphaned behavior, which is the recommended degradation.What this does
A Cursor subagent's own
preToolUse/postToolUse/afterFileEdit/beforeShellExecutionevents arrive withconversation_id==session_id== the child's own id, and no payload field names the parent. Persisted verbatim, every subagent becomes an orphanedaidr_eventwithagent_idNULL on every message.Both dispatchers now resolve the parent and send it out of band:
x-rogue-parent-session-idx-rogue-agent-idconversation_idHeaders, not body
The POSTed body stays byte-for-byte what Cursor sent. That is the property that let us prove the empty-
conversation_idbug belonged to Cursor and not to us.rogueFilePreImageB64onpreToolUseremains the one and only body exception, andtests/test_hook_sh_cursor.shasserts body identity against the piped stdin on every case, plus asserts that exception by name so a second one cannot be added quietly.hook.shappends the two headers by rebuilding the curl argument list withset --: to curl,-H "k: "means "send it empty" and-H "k:"means "suppress it", so no conditional value can express "omit".hook.ps1adds two keys to its existing$headershashtable. They are always sent together or not at all, and never on a main-agent event.Binding is deterministic, never a guess
The child's own conversation id is looked up as a FILENAME:
The parent is that grandparent directory's name. Two concurrent subagents each carry their own id and each find their own file, so there is no ranking, no mtime comparison and no "newest file wins". The slug (derived from
workspace_roots[0]) only scopes the scan; a miss falls back to a global glob that returns the same answer.transcript_pathis never read, because it is JSON-null on ordinary parent events too.Cache and marker gate
~/.rogue/cursor-parent/<child id>caches the resolution, mirroring Copilot'scopilot-submap. A subagent fires 18 to 223 hooks per spawn and Cursor reuses a child id across re-spawns, so only a subagent's first hook can ever miss.~/.rogue/cursor-spawn/<slug>/<parent id>is an empty marker touched onsubagentStart(which fires on the parent, 3.96 to 6.45 s before the child's file exists).subagentStopclears it best-effort; a 30 s TTL is what actually retires it.ROGUE_CURSOR_PARENT_ITERS) only while a marker under this workspace is live. The marker decides only whether to be patient; the filename lookup decides the answer, so a stale marker costs at most 3 s and can never produce a wrong parent. Without the gate, every brand-new top-level conversation would pay the full budget on its first several events, since its own directory does not exist for ~9 s.hooks.jsonallows 120 s per hook, so ~3 s is 2.5% of the budget.Fail-open
Unresolved, unparseable stdin, a non-uuid
conversation_id,$HOMEunset or an unwritable state dir: no headers, POST exactly as today. The event lands in the child's own session and stays there. The realistic failure is a partial split (twoaidr_eventrows for one conversation), which is accepted under the unknown-session-collision policy that prefers a split over a merge. There is deliberately no repair path.Tests
There was no Cursor dispatcher test suite before this PR.
