Editing a prompt file (even externally via "Open in editor") freezes it as a
user customization and blocks future default updates. The Files tab no longer
opens an external editor; it shows each prompt's content read-only in-app via
a new ViewPromptCommand, dropping the file-seeding side effect. Reset to
default and the customized-prompts deviation list are unchanged.
The usage monitor polled the undocumented OAuth usage endpoint every 60s and
earned 429s. It now polls every 5 min while any task is Running and every
15 min while idle (usage_poll_interval_active_seconds / _idle_seconds, both
clamped to >= 60; the old single usage_poll_interval_seconds key is gone).
A 429 comes back as UsageRateLimitedException carrying Retry-After and adds
exponential backoff on top, capped at 30 min and never shorter than the normal
cadence; the strike count resets on the first success. The schedule arithmetic
is the pure static UsagePollSchedule.NextDelay.
Since the idle cadence is slow on purpose, WorkerHub.RefreshUsage drives
UsageMonitorService.RefreshNowAsync behind a Refresh now button in the Usage
Monitor modal: an out-of-band poll that pushes the loop's next-due time out so
no double poll follows, with a 10s cooldown so click-spam can't earn a 429.
Staleness now measures against the slower (idle) interval so an idle worker
isn't flagged stale just for not polling.
EnsureExists blindly seeded ~/.todo-app/prompts/*.md with the bundled
default and never revisited it, so any file created by opening the
Files settings tab shadowed every later default change permanently
(SuggestImprovement/AskUser sections never reached real runs since
2026-06-04). PromptFiles now hashes what a file was seeded/saved with
in prompts/.defaults.json: Classify() tells missing/current-default/
known-past-default/edited apart, ReconcileStaleDefaults() drops files
that only ever matched a superseded default, and real edits are left
alone and surfaced in the Files tab with a diff + reset-to-default
action. QuarantineOrphans() moves stale-named leftovers (agent.md,
planning.md) into prompts/_orphans instead of silently deleting them.
Wired as a Worker startup sweep (PromptFileRecovery) alongside the
existing OrphanRecovery/AttachmentOrphanRecovery services.
## Kontext: Limits sind Fenster, nicht Summen
Die Runs laufen ueber das Claude-Abo. Limits greifen pro 5h-Fenster und pro 7 Tage. Nicht die Wochensumme tut weh, sondern dass ein Agent-Burst ein Fenster leerraeumt, in dem Mika selbst interaktiv arbeiten will.
## Messgrundlage (alle Transcripts unter ~/.claude/projects)
Agent-Runs sind ueber die ganze Historie nur **18,4 %** des Account-Verbrauch

Runaway sessions were the single biggest cost driver: model_presets was
never persisted (stayed code-only), default_max_turns shipped at 100, and
ResolveMaxTurns had no upper bound, so a task/list override could run
hundreds of turns unchecked.
- TaskRunner.ResolveMaxTurns now clamps the resolved value to
AppSettings.MaxTurnsCeiling (new column, default 80) and logs a warning
with task id / requested / effective value when it clamps.
- default_max_turns default lowered from 100 to 40 (entity, EF config,
and the seeded row via the new AddMaxTurnsCeiling migration).
- AppSettingsRepository.GetAsync backfills model_presets with the
shipping defaults on first read instead of leaving the column null.
- Settings > General's per-model preset table and the task/list agent
editor now show a hint when a set max-turns value exceeds the ceiling.
Adds a Usage Monitor modal (Worker menu + wired to the footer/Mission-Control
usage pill's Open command): dynamic gauges built from UsageSnapshotDto.Limits
with gate-threshold marks, a stale/blocked-gate band, and Models/Tasks tabs
backed by GetModelUsageAsync/GetTaskUsageAsync over a 7d/30d/custom range.
Macht die zwei Schwellen einstellbar. Setzt den Data-Subtask (Felder in `app_settings`) und den Hub-Subtask voraus.

ClaudeDo-Task: 06068810-5b5c-4635-80dd-62eeba89fb8c
Adds the IWorkerClient/WorkerClient usage surface (GetUsageSnapshot,
GetModelUsage, GetTaskUsage, UsageUpdated event) and a shared
UsagePillViewModel hosted once in IslandsShellViewModel (footer) and
once in MissionControlViewModel (header), showing "5h X% · 7d Y%"
with warn/blocked/stale states via existing design tokens. The
OpenMonitorCommand is wired but currently a no-op, pending the usage
monitor modal.
A task that reports a roadblock but finishes successfully (Done/WaitingForReview/
Failed/Cancelled) had no way to answer it short of a full reset-and-rerun, losing
the run's context. Adds a reply textbox + Send button to the existing ROADBLOCK
card, modeled on the AskUser question card, that resumes the session via
ContinueTaskAsync with the user's own text. Gated on LatestRunSessionId (disabled
with a hint when there's nothing to resume); failures surface through the footer
error strip instead of a modal.
Per-list optional VerifyCommand (list_config.verify_command) runs via
VerifyCommandRunner in the list's working dir right after a successful
merge/continue-merge, before the task is allowed to reach Done. A
non-zero exit or timeout leaves the merge in place but keeps the task
out of Done and reports StatusVerifyFailed with an output excerpt
through MergeResultDto/review_task; no command configured behaves
exactly as before. Merges against the same repo are now serialized
per working dir so a running verify can't be interrupted by a second
merge landing mid-build. Adds the field to the List Settings modal
(en/de localized) and covers success/failure/timeout in
TaskMergeServiceTests + VerifyCommandRunnerTests.
"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.
Two context-menu entries opened a Claude session for the same task via different
mechanisms (embedded ConPTY vs. an external wt terminal). Drop the external-terminal
path entirely, including its worker hub method, launcher plumbing, and localization
keys, since the embedded ConPTY session already covers every case it did.
Auto-seeding of monitor tiles was disabled in 724814f; Mission Control now
only shows ConPTY panes. Removes Monitors/EnsureMonitor/SeedActive, the
detach/re-dock machinery, MonitorPaneView and the detached monitor window,
plus their tests and orphaned localization keys.
TaskMonitorViewModel itself stays: DetailsIslandViewModel still uses it as
the backing state for the task Log/AgentState/AskUser-question UI, so only
its Mission-Control-only members (Title/DisplayTitle, detach, cancel command,
IMissionControlPane) were stripped. IMissionControlPane/Panes were kept
(now a 1:1 mirror of ConPtySessions) rather than dissolved, to avoid
churning the still-live ConPTY pane tests and AXAML for a single-implementer
interface.
Visual verification still open: Mission Control with several open ConPTY
tiles, and the Focus/Overview toggle.
Dragging a task row onto a user list in the Lists island now reassigns it
to that list. The task drag holds the pointer capture, so the release is
resolved geometrically (new case between the Mission Control and reorder
cases) instead of going through the Lists island's own DragDrop path,
which never sees a DragEventArgs during a task drag.
TaskRepository.MoveToListAsync reassigns the task plus every descendant
(a child must never sit in a different list than its parent) and appends
the task at the end of the target list. Guards: running tasks and tasks
holding an Active/Kept worktree are rejected to the footer error strip;
a move that changes repo asks for confirmation naming both repos.
The source repo is read from the task's own list rather than the island's
current list, which is a smart/virtual list with no working dir of its own
whenever one of those is shown.
TryInvokeAsync catches every exception and returns null, which is fine
for read-only calls but hid real HubException reasons behind a generic
"offline" message for the 7 mutating call sites (RestoreDefaultAgents,
UpsertPrimeSchedule, AddDailyNote, CleanupFinishedWorktrees,
ResetAllWorktrees, ForceRemoveWorktree, BuildPlanningIntegrationBranch)
— the same bug class fixed for ApproveReview in e1807fd. Each of the 22
TryInvokeAsync call sites was audited; the 15 read-only ones are left
unchanged (empty/offline is the right display). For the 7 switched to
a direct hub invoke, every caller was checked and, where it had no
catch, one was added so the exception surfaces (StatusMessage,
ShowErrorAsync/CombinedWarning) instead of crashing.
- TaskStarted no longer creates a monitor pane; Panes stays empty unless a
ConPTY session is explicitly opened
- SeedActive no longer called on construction or ConnectionRestored
- EnsureMonitor / SeedActive kept compiling and functional (internal), just unused
- RefreshQueueAsync now loads Queued + Running tasks, Running sorted first
- QueuedTaskViewModel gains IsRunning + OpenInAppCommand (IRelayCommand)
- Sidebar row is a Button; running rows get RunningTint overlay + "Running" label
- HasQueued is true whenever any queued or running task exists
- New localization keys: missionControl.running (en + de)
- Tests updated: 12 monitor-machinery tests use EnsureMonitor directly;
3 new acceptance-criteria tests (no-auto-pane, running-first sort, row click)
Adds Moss / Peat / Sea preset swatches to the General settings tab.
Selecting a preset mutates the live SolidColorBrush objects in the
Application resource dictionary so all StaticResource consumers update
instantly; the choice is persisted to ui.config.json and re-applied
at startup. Missing or unknown saved value falls back to Moss.
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.
ClaudeDo never passed --effort, so every session inherited whatever effortLevel
the user's Claude Code config happened to carry. Settings -> General now holds one
row per model alias (haiku medium/20, sonnet high/30, opus high/40, fable high/25)
supplying the global effort and turn defaults; list- and task-level max-turns
overrides still win, and the agent editor's inherited badge follows the model.
--effort is applied to autonomous runs and to every ConPTY spec (task session,
planning start/resume, ad-hoc, list handler). The model itself is deliberately not
forced on interactive sessions. The single global 'Max turns' field is replaced by
the table, and 'fable' joins ModelRegistry.Aliases.
The migration also adds the is_manual columns used by the next commit.
A task driven by hand in Mission Control is Idle with an Active worktree, so its
lifecycle chip read "Parked" — indistinguishable from a task genuinely set aside.
The shell now mirrors Mission Control's open panes onto the rows, which show an
accent "Interactive" chip instead; tapping it surfaces Mission Control and
focuses that pane (the open command already dedupes by task id).
Both actions previously gave no feedback: opening a ConPTY session only created
the tile after the launch-spec roundtrip (which may build a worktree), and the
refine button just disappeared while the run was in flight.
Add a shared Ellipse.spinner style, and let ConPtyPaneViewModel resolve its own
launch spec so the tile shows up immediately with a starting overlay. A failed
launch now keeps the tile with its inline error banner instead of never
appearing — Start() is separated from the ctor so the host can subscribe to
ErrorReported before the launch begins.
An embedded ConPTY session leaves its worktree changed but never touches
task status, so hand-driven work had no path into the review/merge flow.
Add SubmitTaskForReview: commit the worktree (same auto-commit as a headless
run), then transition Idle/Failed -> WaitingForReview via the new
TaskStateService.SubmitInteractiveForReviewAsync. Approve then merges it.
Surfaces: a 'Submit for review' button in the detail work console (shown for
an Idle/Failed task with a worktree) and on the ConPTY Command Center pane
header (task-based panes; closes the pane on success). Tests cover the new
transition (Idle/Failed accepted, Running/Queued/Done/Review rejected).
Planning start/resume opened an external Windows Terminal (wt) window.
Route them through the embedded ConPTY Command Center pane instead, matching
the existing interactive-session UX (no external window).
- Extract bare planning arg builders (BuildPlanningStartArgs/ResumeArgs) from
WindowsTerminalLauncher; the wt path still uses them (kept, not removed).
- InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildPlanningStart/Resume map a planning
context into a LaunchSpec (planning args + env: MAX_THINKING_TOKENS,
CLAUDEDO_PLANNING_TOKEN). Hub GetPlanningStart/ResumeLaunchSpec run
StartAsync/ResumeAsync then return the spec.
- UI: OpenPlanningSession + the resume branch raise OpenPlanningConPtyRequested;
the shell opens Mission Control and hosts a planning ConPTY pane.
Env is process-global by design (sequential human-paced sessions). wt planning
code retained. Tests added for the arg/env mapping.
ResumePlanningSessionAsync wrapped everything in an empty catch, so a
failed resume vanished silently. Report it via the footer error channel
with a dedicated planningResumeFailed message.
Show an explanatory empty-state under the install row when no skills are
installed. Rename the unified-parent status/labels from "Improvements" to
neutral "Subtasks" (waitingForChildren, agentStatus.children,
childOutcomesLabel) since WaitingForChildren now covers planning too.
The embedded ConPTY terminal replaced the in-app streaming interactive session, so
delete the dead stack: StreamingClaudeSession, InteractiveSessionService,
ProcessClaudeStreamTransport, IClaudeStreamTransport, ILiveSession, LiveSessionRegistry,
IdleSessionReaper (+ WorkerConfig.InteractiveIdleTimeoutMinutes), the WorkerHub
interactive methods + HubBroadcaster events, IWorkerClient interactive members, the
TaskMonitorViewModel composer + SessionTerminalView composer markup, and the old
'Run interactively' entry. AskUser/PendingQuestionRegistry, the autonomous path,
planning, ResumeTaskInTerminal, and all ConPTY code are kept. Localization pruned.
Adds a 'New session' header button in Mission Control that opens a folder picker
and starts a task-less embedded ConPTY session in the chosen directory. ConPtyPaneViewModel
TaskId is now nullable (ad-hoc panes have no task and are never deduped) with a
CreateAdHoc factory; the view does the picking, the VM stays picker-agnostic.
Adds an 'Open ConPTY session' entry that fetches a task's launch spec and hosts
an embedded ConPTY terminal as a Mission Control pane, coexisting with the
streamed-log monitor panes (streaming stack untouched). Introduces IMissionControlPane
+ ConPtyPaneViewModel, a non-destructive Panes mirror (Monitors prefix + ConPtySessions
suffix) so unrelated monitor churn never tears down a live terminal, and a grid<->tabs
layout toggle. Launch failures surface via the footer error strip.
Queued rows are now QueuedMessageViewModel (Text + RemoveCommand); each shows a
✕ (Icon.WinClose) that calls RemoveQueuedInteractiveMessageAsync(taskId, text).
The worker re-broadcasts the queue, rebuilding the strip without the removed
message. Adds session.composer.unqueue (en/de).
A queued message now appears in a pending strip above the input box (driven by
InteractiveQueueChanged), not optimistically in the transcript. The transcript
user line is added on delivery via InteractiveMessageSent. SessionTerminalView
gains QueuedMessages/HasQueuedMessages styled props (Mission Control); WorkConsole
binds Monitor.* (task detail). Adds session.composer.queued (en/de).
LogKindForegroundConverter drives the log message foreground via a local
binding (beats the dim local value), so user messages render in the accent
color instead of vanishing into the transcript. Adds a small stop (Icon.Stop)
button next to Send in both composers (SessionTerminalView + WorkConsole) wired
to InterruptInteractiveCommand → InterruptInteractiveSessionAsync. Adds
session.composer.interrupt (en/de).
SessionTerminalView gains an opt-in composer (IsComposerVisible / ComposerText /
SubmitCommand / ComposerPlaceholder styled props); Mission Control binds it to the
monitor VM. Task detail's WorkConsole output tab gets a matching shell-prompt
composer bound through Monitor.*, shown only while an interactive session is live.
log-user lines render in the accent color. Adds session.composer.* (en/de).
TaskMonitorViewModel surfaces a pending AskUser question (TaskQuestionAsked /
TaskQuestionResolved events) with an AnswerDraft + SubmitAnswerCommand that calls
the new IWorkerClient.AnswerTaskQuestionAsync; MonitorPaneView shows an accent
question banner with an input box above the terminal. Pending question is cleared
on answer/resolve/finish and re-hydrated on attach via GetPendingQuestionAsync.
en/de localization for missionControl.question.*; test fakes updated.
