Input prompt hidden when attaching to child/subagent session #6896
Description
Description
When attaching directly to a child session (subagent session) via CLI, the input prompt is not displayed. Users cannot type anything—including exit or :q—and must navigate to the parent session to exit.
Root cause: In the Permission rework (#6319), the Prompt component's visibility was changed to:
visible={!session()?.parentID && permissions().length === 0}This intentionally hides the prompt when parentID exists (child sessions), but breaks direct interaction with subagent sessions.
Location: packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui/routes/session/index.tsx:1028
OpenCode version
1.1.1 (regression from 1.0.223)
Steps to reproduce
- Start a session and trigger a subagent task
- Note the child session ID from the output
- Exit and run:
opencode -s <child-session-id> - No input prompt appears; cannot type or exit

Understood but shouldn't it at least be possible to exit?

@rekram1-node, please, could you provide some light on the reasons for removing the prompt input in the subagents view? I was using it a lot, and I would like to understand the pros and cons. Thanks!
