Adds a user/MCP-declared task dependency (DependsOnTaskId) distinct from the
planning chain's internal BlockedByTaskId: add_task/update_task can set it,
the queue picker skips a Queued task until the dependency reaches Done, a
Failed/Cancelled dependency leaves the dependent blocked instead of starving
silently, and setting a link rejects self-reference/unknown-id/cycles.
get_task/list_tasks/batch_get_tasks now report blocked/blockedReason, and
wait_for_task_change reports "Blocked" immediately instead of running out its
timeout on a task the picker will never claim.
preview_merge/preview_merge_set gain staleFiles: files a branch touches that
the target branch also changed since the branch's fork point, a more honest
staleness signal than `behind` alone.
Register(taskId, cts) already refuses (and logs) a double-registration, but
both call sites discarded the bool and dispatched anyway under an
unregistered CTS. If the loser then unregistered the winner's CTS during
its own cleanup, TryCancel could silently no-op against a live process.
- OverrideSlotService.StartInSlot now fails RunNow/ContinueTask loudly
(throws) when it loses the registration race instead of registering
over — or silently proceeding despite losing to — the queue picker.
- QueueService's picker loop retries registration briefly (the loser's own
claim-attempt-then-unregister resolves fast) before dispatching; if
registration never resolves it marks the already-claimed row Failed
instead of running it unregistered.
- RunCancellationRegistry.Unregister already had compare-and-remove
semantics (TryRemove(KeyValuePair)), so a loser's cleanup could not have
removed the winner's CTS once registration correctly failed.
Added regression tests exercising the real registry through both dispatch
paths: RunNow losing the registration race throws without disturbing the
winner, the picker's retry succeeds and TryCancel reaches the live run when
the loser unregisters in time, and the picker fails the task instead of
running unregistered when it never does.
TaskRunner.RunAsync created the worktree (PrepareRunDirectoryAsync)
before claiming Running via StartRunningAsync. RunNow dispatches by
task id with no atomic claim of their own, so a Queued task racing
the queue picker's atomic SQL claim could hit WorktreeManager's
branch-collision self-heal, which force-removes and recreates the
winner's live worktree mid-run.
Move the claim before any resource creation and bail out immediately
when it's rejected. OverrideSlotService.RunNow also fast-rejects a
task already Running in the DB (defense in depth). RunCancellationRegistry
now refuses (and logs) a double registration instead of silently
overwriting the first CTS, so a losing dispatch's cleanup can no
longer unregister the winner's cancellation token.
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.
Drops TagEntity, TagRepository, and tag wiring across data layer, worker,
and UI. Adds RemoveTags migration to clean up schema.

Queueing a task is itself the explicit "run me" signal — the extra
tag/list filter was redundant and surprised users whose queued tasks
were silently skipped.

Slice 6 of the worker state and queue consolidation refactor.
* Drop Manual, Planning, Planned, Draft, Waiting from the TaskStatus enum
and from the EF value converter; only the lifecycle values remain
(Idle, Queued, Running, Done, Failed, Cancelled).
* Add migration RetireLegacyTaskStatus that rewrites existing rows:
manual/draft -> idle, planning -> idle+planning_phase=active,
planned -> idle+planning_phase=finalized, waiting -> queued+blocked_by
derived from sort_order via a CTE with LAG().
* Reroute every call site that compared/set legacy values to the new
three-field model (Status + PlanningPhase + BlockedByTaskId), including
the planning repo helpers, MCP services, the planning chain coordinator,
and the UI view-models. TaskRowViewModel now exposes PlanningPhase to
drive the planning badge.
* Refresh Worker/CLAUDE.md and Data/CLAUDE.md, the docs/plan.md status
section, and the planning verification notes in docs/open.md.
Slice 3 of the worker state and queue consolidation refactor.
- Add IQueueWaker / QueueWaker (singleton holding the wake semaphore).
- Add IQueuePicker / QueuePicker; raw SQL UPDATE...RETURNING moves out of
TaskRepository.GetNextQueuedAgentTaskAsync (deleted) and now also filters
on blocked_by_task_id IS NULL and writes started_at on claim.
- TaskStateService takes IQueueWaker directly; the Func<QueueService>
indirection is gone. State transitions to Queued auto-wake the dispatcher.
- QueueService waits via the shared waker and dispatches via the picker.
- Drop explicit _queue.WakeQueue() calls in WorkerHub.QueuePlanningSubtasksAsync
and ExternalMcpService.AddTask. The hub WakeQueue endpoint stays for
diagnostics, delegating to _waker.Wake().
- Migrate tests; pre-existing flaky AppSettings/ExternalMcp tests untouched.
