review_task/continue_merge on a planning parent always leaves conflicts in
the tree, and the UI auto-opened the resolver on every PlanningMergeConflict
broadcast regardless of who started the merge -- so a running Claude session
resolving a unit-merge conflict could race a human editing the same shared
checkout in a resolver window neither of them asked for.
PlanningMergeOrchestrator.StartAsync now takes an externallyDriven flag (set
by ExternalMcpService's MCP-driven review_task path, left false for the UI's
ApproveReview) that rides along on the PlanningMergeConflict broadcast. The
UI only auto-opens the resolver when it's false; otherwise it shows a
persistent banner with a manual "Open resolver" button, cleared on
PlanningMergeAborted/PlanningCompleted. A new GetActiveExternalConflictsAsync
query (checked against GitService.IsMidMergeAsync rather than the in-memory
flag alone) lets the UI resync the banner on reconnect instead of trusting a
one-shot broadcast that isn't replayed after a restart.
The childless single-task conflict path was checked and needed no change --
it only broadcasts the generic TaskUpdated, never PlanningMergeConflict.
list_tasks on a list of ~100 verbosely-described tasks could return
390k+ characters in one call, blowing past the caller's token limit.
Both tools now default to lean TaskRefDto references (no
Description/Result) and take an includeDescription flag to opt back
into the full TaskDto payload — same flag-alongside-nullable-payload
idiom already used by BatchGetTaskResult/TaskConfigResult. get_task is
unchanged.
MaxTimeoutSeconds was 170s against runs that take tens of minutes, forcing
a dozen full-context wait rounds per long-running batch. Raise it to 900s
and raise MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT in lockstep (ClaudeProcess + every
InteractiveLaunchSpecService launch spec) to 930000ms so the client
connection actually stays open that long instead of aborting first.
Add get_queue_state (QueueStateMcpTools): configured vs. effective
parallel-slot count (via QueueService.GetSlotCountsAsync, extracted from
the former GetEffectiveMaxParallelAsync), active slots with taskId +
startedAt including the run_task_now override slot, and queued tasks in
pick order -- so a caller can observe queue occupancy instead of inferring
it from maxParallelExecutions.
Adds a read-only get_effective_run_config(taskId) tool that reports the
model/max-turns/effort/permission-mode/agent-path/system-prompt/skills a
task will actually run with, each tagged with its source (task/list/
preset/global), plus max-turns' raw requested value and clamp status.
Extracted the model/max-turns/agent-path resolution out of
TaskRunner.ResolveConfigAsync into EffectiveRunConfigResolver so the run
path and the new reporting tool share one codepath instead of risking
drift, per docs/explore-notes/worker-task-pipeline.md's max-turns trap.
update_task, update_task_status, add_task, add_subtask, set_my_day,
abort_merge, review_task, and their batch variants now return a lean
TaskRefDto (id/listId/title/status/sortOrder/isMyDay) instead of the
full TaskDto. Those tools were re-sending the caller's own description
text back on every call, wasting a large share of session context on
list-handler-style runs. get_task/list_tasks/batch_get_tasks are
untouched and still return the full DTO.
The merge-helper ("Let Claude handle it") system prompt now calls a new
handoff_list_handler MCP tool once every surviving task is enhanced,
instead of continuing into Phases 3-5 in the same session -- avoiding
paying for Phases 0-2's dedupe/rewrite context on every polling round of
the run/review/merge phases.
The tool broadcasts HandoffRequested; Mission Control opens a second
ConPTY tile for the SAME handler task id (no new task, HandlerBaseCommit
untouched) running a fresh handoff brief that starts at Phase 3. The
original tile stays open. Adds PromptKind.MergeHelperHandoff,
InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildForMergeHelperHandoffAsync, and the
GetMergeHelperHandoffLaunchSpec hub method.
Persists the merge commit SHA on WorktreeEntity for every successful
single-task and unit merge, and adds a TaskMergeService.RevertMergeAsync
+ revert_merge MCP tool that undoes a merged task's merge via
`git revert -m 1` (never reset/rewrite, since the target checkout is
shared). Rejects cleanly when there's no recorded SHA, the repo is
mid-merge/mid-revert, or the target has foreign uncommitted changes;
a conflicting revert aborts immediately. Also exposes the new
mergeCommit field via get_task_worktree.
Give an autonomous reviewer a non-destructive merge-tree preview
(status/conflicts/changedFileCount/behind) for a task's worktree branch,
plus a file-overlap check across a batch of tasks so same-file collisions
between sibling branches are visible before merging. MergeHelperDefault's
Phase 4 now calls preview_merge_set before merging a batch.
set_task_config/set_list_config now echo which fields were set vs cleared, get_list_config/get_task_config return an explicit found=false instead of null, and delete_list/run_task_now/reset_failed_task/remove_task_attachment return a confirmation record — matching the found/ok convention already used by batch_get_tasks and get_task_log.
Replaces the list handler's Start-Sleep + blind get_task poll (Phase 3
of the merge-helper prompt) with a blocking MCP tool that returns as
soon as a task leaves Queued/Running, or times out. Implemented as an
async DB poll (short-lived DbContext, 500ms delay, no held connection)
rather than hooking HubBroadcaster, keeping the existing broadcast
callers untouched. timeoutSeconds is clamped server-side to 170s, under
the list handler's 200s MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT.
"Let Claude handle it" now creates one ClaudeDo task per run to host the
ConPTY session (Idle/IsManual, never queued) instead of an untracked
ad-hoc tile, so the run has a real title, diff, and review outcome.
Since the handler merges its own changes straight into the list's
working dir, the task never gets a WorktreeEntity; its review range
lives as new HandlerBaseCommit/HandlerHeadCommit columns on TaskEntity
instead, reusing the existing commit-range diff machinery and keeping
it out of the worktrees overview entirely.
The list-handler prompt (MergeHelperDefault) tells the handler to read
maxParallelExecutions via get_app_settings, but the DTO never carried
the field. Handler had to fall back to reading app_settings directly
from the DB on the 2026-07-29 E2E run.
External tasks finished outside a ClaudeDo run had no way to close out
their tracking task; update_task_status now permits Done alongside
Idle/Queued/Cancelled, refusing it when the task has an active
worktree so review_task stays the only path that merges.
Reminders written down as todos had no home: every task looked like Claude work.
A manual task now shows a MANUAL badge and hides send-to-queue, refine and the
planning session; the queue picker, daily prep and the list handler all skip it,
with a TaskStateService guard so the MCP surface and hub cannot start one either.
Opening a hand-driven ConPTY session stays available on purpose.
A list can be marked manual in its settings, which makes tasks created there
(UI and MCP add_task) start out manual. Toggle per task from its context menu.
- CancelAsync now signals the running Claude process of the cancelled task and
its cascaded children via the new RunCancellationRegistry (queue + override
slots register their CTS there) instead of only flipping DB state.
- external MCP review_task 'approve' now mirrors the hub's ApproveReview:
unit merge for parents, ApproveAndMergeAsync for childless tasks, optional
targetBranch; ReviewTaskResult carries mergeStatus/conflicts.
Nullable filter/patch params across the External/ MCP tool classes (ListTasks,
UpdateTask, AddSubtask, ReviewTask, SetMyDay, SetListConfig/SetTaskConfig,
CreateList/UpdateList) lacked C# default values, so the generated tool schema
marked them required — MCP clients omitting them (the common case) failed.
Gave every such parameter a default value.
Also registered a call-tool filter (ExternalMcpExceptionFilter) on the external
MCP host that translates InvalidOperationException/ArgumentException into
McpException, since the SDK's own catch-all discards ex.Message for any other
exception type and returns a generic "An error occurred invoking 'X'." string.
Added a reflection-based schema test sweeping every [McpServerToolType] class
to guard against reintroducing a required-but-nullable parameter.
- GitService.MergeFfOnlyAsync had no callers anywhere in code; removed.
- AgentMcpTools moved out of LifecycleMcpTools.cs into External/AgentMcpTools.cs (no behavior change).
- Worker CLAUDE.md described ZitadelAuthProvider as a Phase 2 stub; it's fully implemented (OIDC discovery + refresh-token flow), updated both mentions.
DeleteTask never re-evaluated a WaitingForChildren parent, so deleting
the last non-terminal child left it stuck (the BlockedByTaskId SET NULL
FK only repairs the blocked chain, not parent status). Expose
TaskStateService.TryAdvanceParentAsync on the interface and call it
from ExternalMcpService.DeleteTask after a child delete.
Add seven best-effort batch variants of the single-entity external MCP
tools: batch_get_tasks, batch_add_tasks, batch_update_task_status,
batch_cancel_tasks, batch_delete_tasks, batch_set_my_day, and
batch_cleanup_task_worktrees. Each loops the existing ExternalMcpService
methods sequentially (scoped DbContext is not thread-safe), returns a
per-item result array so a failing item never aborts the rest, and
rejects empty or over-100-item batches. Merge/review stay single-task.
AttachmentMcpTools exposes add_task_attachment (text or base64),
list_task_attachments, and remove_task_attachment on the external MCP
endpoint, so an agent can prepare reference files (plans, scripts) on a task
that will run later. Re-attaching the same name overwrites; add/remove refuse
on a running task.
AddTask, planning CreateChildTask, and SuggestImprovement now accept an
optional alias-validated model (haiku/sonnet/opus; blank = inherit) so the
model is chosen at creation time instead of a follow-up set_task_config call.
The planning, system, and improvement prompts instruct Claude to pick the
cheapest capable model (haiku < sonnet < opus).

Generalizes the previous merge_task fix: the WaitingForReview->Done transition
now lives in TaskMergeService.MergeAsync/ContinueMergeAsync, so the UI Merge
button (WorkerHub.MergeTask), conflict-merge, continue-merge and the external
MCP all land a merged task in Done. ApproveAndMergeAsync no longer double-approves.

merge_task only flipped the worktree to Merged; it never transitioned the task
status. With allowWaitingForReview this left a merged task stuck in
WaitingForReview. Approve it to Done on a successful merge (a Done task is
already terminal). Mirrors the ApproveAndMergeAsync review flow.

BUNDLE — all changes live in src/ClaudeDo.Worker/External/ExternalMcpService.cs only, so this is one worktree / one merge. Do NOT touch run-recording or data-layer code (those are separate tasks). Reuse the existing services behind the UI modals (WorktreesOverviewModalView, DiffModalView, MergeModalView) — do not reimplement git plumbing. Build green after each addition.
Add these MCP tools:

delete_task (and likely cancel_task) return no output on success. Silent success is indistinguishable from a no-op, so callers can't verify the action took effect.
Fix: return a small confirmation object, e.g. { deleted: true, id } / { cancelled: true, id }. Indicate not-found vs deleted distinctly.
ClaudeDo-Task: 97a87ebb-0d87-4ee0-800c-aa1a0b3a06c5
add_task currently marks description, createdBy, and queueImmediately as required, forcing callers to invent values for fields that have obvious defaults.
Fix: make them optional with sensible defaults — description: null, queueImmediately: false, createdBy: server default like "mcp". Keep only listId and title as truly required.

Unify the near-identical HandleFailure/MarkFailed into a single MarkFailed that
always persists the failed state and never throws, and replace the inline
null-if-blank checks in ListMcpTools with the existing extension.
