Since <code>AiAgentBase::getRunnerId()</code> lazily generates a random ID (<code>{pluginId}_{microtime}</code>) when none is set, the agent gets a <strong>different identity on every turn</strong> of the same conversation. Any event subscriber or service that uses <code>getRunnerId()</code> for cross-turn identification &mdash; scoping, persistence, status tracking &mdash; gets an inconsistent key and cannot correlate data across turns.</p> <p>Also doesn't call <code>$agent-&gt;setProgressThreadId($job_id)</code>, so<code> AgentFinishedExecutionEvent::getThreadId() returns null </code>for any subscriber that needs to correlate the event back to the original conversation thread (e.g. persisting messages to a custom entity).</p> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <p>Set the runner ID and Thread ID (to the conversation's <code>$job_id</code> (thread key) before the agent executes:<br> <code>$agent-&gt;setRunnerId($job_id);</code><br> <code>$agent-&gt;setProgressThreadId($job_id)</code></p> <p>This gives the agent a <strong>stable identity</strong> that matches across all turns of the same conversation. </p> <h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3> <h3>Optional: Other details as applicable (e.g., User interface changes, API changes, Data model changes)</h3> <h3 id="summary-ai-usage">AI usage (if applicable)</h3> <p>[ ] AI Assisted Issue<br> This issue was generated with AI assistance, but was reviewed and refined by the creator.</p> <p>[ ] AI Assisted Code<br> This code was mainly generated by a human, with AI autocompleting or parts AI generated, but under full human supervision.</p> <p>[ ] AI Generated Code<br> This code was mainly generated by an AI with human guidance, and reviewed, tested, and refined by a human.</p> <p>[ ] Vibe Coded<br> This code was generated by an AI and has only been functionally tested.</p> > Related issue: [Issue #3576571](https://www.drupal.org/node/3576571)
