Add gated live smoke check for delegate parent-task linkage#57
Merged
Conversation
A TANGLEBRAIN_LIVE-gated test routes a delegation-inducing prompt through the real router → orchestrator → delegate_local and asserts each delegate record's parent_task_id matches the parent task's task_id — a standing guard for the load-bearing assumption that the orchestrator forwards TANGLEBRAIN_TASK_ID to the MCP child it spawns. Skips (never fails) if the orchestrator doesn't delegate that run, since delegation is emergent. Verified passing live against the real claude→MCP-delegate boundary.

What
A
TANGLEBRAIN_LIVE-gated test (LiveDelegateLinkageTest) that routes a delegation-inducing promptthrough the real router → orchestrator →
delegate_localand asserts every delegate record'sparent_task_idmatches the parent task'stask_id.Why
The per-parent-task tree (#52, PR #54) depends on the orchestrator forwarding
TANGLEBRAIN_TASK_IDto the MCP delegate child — a load-bearing assumption verified manually once but not guarded by any
standing test. This turns that one-time spike into a reproducible check. Closes #55.
It skips, never fails, if the orchestrator doesn't call the delegate tool on a given run (emergent
behavior), so it can't become a flaky failure — but when delegation does happen, it enforces the linkage.
Test plan
TANGLEBRAIN_LIVE-gated (skipped in CI).TANGLEBRAIN_LIVE=1 python -m unittest tests.test_live.LiveDelegateLinkageTest→ OK (claude delegated; parent + delegate records shared the same id).
Closes #55.
