codex/codex-rs/tui/src/app/loaded_threads.rs

//! Discovers subagent threads that belong to a primary thread by walking spawn-tree edges.
//!
//! When the TUI resumes or switches to an existing thread, it needs to populate
//! `AgentNavigationState` and `ChatWidget` metadata for every subagent that was spawned during
//! that thread's lifetime. The app server exposes a flat list of currently loaded threads via
//! `thread/loaded/list`, but the TUI must figure out which of those are descendants of the
//! primary thread.
//!
//! This module provides the pure, synchronous tree-walk that turns that flat list into the filtered
//! set of descendants. It intentionally has no async, no I/O, and no side effects so it can be
//! unit-tested in isolation.
//!
//! The walk starts from `primary_thread_id` and repeatedly follows
//! `SessionSource::SubAgent(ThreadSpawn { parent_thread_id, .. })` edges until no new children are
//! found. The primary thread itself is never included in the output.
