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.
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.
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.
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.
