A MinVer dev build on main computes a prerelease of its own guessed next
version (e.g. 2.9.1-alpha.0.14 after tag v2.9.0), which already sorts
above the last tag by numeric core, so the update banner correctly
stays quiet there. But the reduction to a bare numeric core meant a
genuine new release landing at exactly that guessed version (v2.9.1
real) compared equal to the still-running prerelease and the banner
never fired. A prerelease now only loses to a real release of the same
core, not to another prerelease of the same core.
Verified against the live repo: latest published tag is v2.9.0; a
Release build of this worktree (14 commits ahead) reports
AssemblyInformationalVersion 2.9.1-alpha.0.14+<sha>.
MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT (raised by ClaudeDo's launchers) is a wall-clock cap unrelated
to Claude Code's idle-silence abort (default 300s for HTTP-transport MCP
servers), which no launcher raises. A wait near the 900s recommendation was
silently killed at ~300s in any session, launcher or not.
WaitForTaskChange now reports MCP progress every 30s while polling, which
resets that idle timer. Verified against a real claude -p call (no launcher
env overrides) surviving a 341s wait via 60s pings -- the same silence that
previously aborted at 300s. Tool description and the list-handler prompt no
longer claim ClaudeDo's launchers guarantee a long wait survives.
get_task/batch_get_tasks now return failureReason (max_turns|timeout|error|
cancelled|unknown) plus failureTurnsUsed/failureMaxTurns on a Failed task, so
max_turns (worktree usually fine, continue_task) is distinguishable from a
real error (reset_failed_task) without pulling get_task_log's raw NDJSON.
Classified and stamped onto TaskEntity by TaskRunner.MarkFailed via
TaskStateService.FailAsync; TaskRunEntity also keeps the CLI's raw
terminal_reason/result_subtype/errors for deeper diagnosis. reset_failed_task's
description now warns explicitly that it discards the worktree and points at
continue_task for max_turns. Surfaced on the task card's status-chip tooltip.
batch_get_tasks with includeDescription=true had no size guard: 8 tasks'
full Description/Result serialized to a single 51k-char line, blowing past
the tool-result token budget and forcing a file/PowerShell workaround to
read it back. Roadblock text was also only reachable via a second get_task
call per task, since roadblockCount (in the lean ref) has no text sibling.
- descriptionMaxChars (default 1500, was unlimited) truncates Description
and Result independently, flagged via *Truncated/*FullLength so a caller
never silently works off a cut string.
- fields narrows taskFull to just the named properties, including the new
roadblockText (the tail of Result after TaskRunner's roadblock marker) —
reachable without pulling in the rest of Result/Description.
- taskFull is now BatchTaskDetailDto, a batch-only shape decoupled from
TaskDto so get_task's own contract is untouched.
- The whole response is capped (MaxResponseChars); over that, the call
throws naming which parameter (descriptionMaxChars/fields/taskIds) to
adjust instead of shipping an oversized payload.
10 tasks with 5000-char descriptions (default settings) serialize to
~13.8k chars, comfortably under the 25k-char cap.
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.
Collapse the grabbed row out of layout instead of overlapping neighbors
with scale/opacity/shadow (the ghost window already shows the moving
snapshot). Replace the thin moss drop-hint lines with a dashed
placeholder gap sized like a collapsed row. Suppress the ordinary hover
highlight and transitions on whatever row is currently the drop target
so it doesn't read as "clickable" while dragging.
Omitted fields on set_task_config/set_list_config used to be indistinguishable
from an explicit clear, so any single-field update silently wiped every other
override (including SessionSkills, which wasn't even a tool parameter). Now
only the fields you pass are changed; clearing an override requires naming it
in the new clearFields array (a sentinel string doesn't work uniformly since
maxTurns is an int). set_list_config's "all four null deletes the config" case
is preserved but only reachable via clearFields. Return values now reflect the
full resulting config.
LoadForListAsync loaded the entire tasks table (all lists, two Include
joins) then filtered to the selected list in C#, never using
idx_tasks_list_id/idx_tasks_status. ITaskListFilter now exposes
MatchExpression, an Expression<Func<TaskEntity,bool>> that EF Core can
translate to SQL; a new TaskListFilterBase compiles it on demand for the
existing in-memory Matches(). The primary match query now runs as
db.Tasks.Where(filter.MatchExpression), with two small follow-up queries
(scoped by parent-id IN-lists) for contextual planning-parent rows and
pulled-in children, followed by an explicit re-sort to restore the global
SortOrder/CreatedAt ordering Regroup() depends on.
get_merge_conflicts and resolve_conflict_hunk let an MCP caller resolve a
leaveConflictsInTree merge hunk-by-hunk (ours/theirs/base/literal text)
instead of grep-parsing diff3 markers itself. Reuses the existing
TaskMergeService/ConflictMarkerParser machinery (adds MergeSegment.StartLine
and a non-staging TaskMergeService.WriteConflictFileAsync) rather than a
second parser. A partially resolved file is written without git add so
continue_merge keeps refusing while any hunk still has markers.
MergeHelperSelectionModalViewModel now loads ParentTaskId and orders
rows hierarchy-aware (parent immediately followed by its children,
mirroring TasksIslandViewModel.Regroup). Children render indented with
the same indent-track visual as the main task list; ticking a parent
cascades selection to its children, while a child can still be
deselected on its own. A child whose parent got filtered out (e.g.
already Done) renders top-level with an explicit hint instead of
disappearing. Confirm keeps returning parents ahead of their children.
The diff viewer used ShowDialog at both call sites (task details, worktrees
overview), blocking navigation of the rest of the app while open. Switch both
to Window.Show(owner) and reuse the one open window (swap DataContext,
Activate()) instead of stacking a second one on re-open.
Add an opt-in maximize/restore button + double-click-titlebar toggle to
ModalShell (ShowMaximizeButton, default false so other modals are untouched),
wired on for DiffViewerView only. Reuses the existing Icon.WinMax/WinRestore
geometry and OffScreenMargin inset from MainWindow's own maximize handling.
The review gate (Approve & Merge locked until the diff is opened) already
fires DiffViewed before the dialog/window is shown, so it is unaffected by
the modal-to-non-modal change.
## Befund (Batch-Lauf 2026-08-06, Liste "Bandel.Hub")
maxParallelExecutions = 5, 23 Geschwister-Tasks auf demselben Plugin. Die Parallelitaet hat die
Ausfuehrung verkuerzt, aber die Konfliktlast erhoeht: eine CSS-Datei wurde von 10 Tasks
angefasst, drei Razor-Dateien von je 6. Der Engpass des Gesamtdurchlaufs war nicht die
Ausfuehrung, sondern Review und Merge — die sind zwingend seriell. Netto wa

get_task_diff gained an optional paths param (git pathspec, both stat and
full-diff modes) so a large multi-file task can be narrowed to the files
actually in question instead of shipping the whole diff.
preview_merge_set now also reports Subsets: pairs where one task's changed
files are a proper subset of another's in the same set, the strongest
available post-hoc signal that a task may be redundant with another.
Before merging (or staging a conflict resolution's git add -A), compare the
branch's newly-added paths against what's currently untracked in the target
working directory. A collision aborts with a new untracked_collision status
naming the path and size, surfaced through merge_task/review_task,
preview_merge/preview_merge_set (which merge-tree alone can't see), and the
UI merge paths via FlashFooterError/ShowErrorAsync instead of a silent
catch{}. git's own preflight already refuses this while the path stays
untracked at merge time; this closes the gap once a path becomes trackable
in between (e.g. an unrelated conflict resolution's git add -A) or across
the continue_merge TOCTOU window.
preview_merge could only see file-overlap cleanliness via git merge-tree, never
whether the result compiles -- the two costliest findings of the 2026-08-06 batch
run were both merge-tree-clean but build-broken. When a list has a verify command
configured, a clean preview is now additionally materialized (via a commit-tree +
detached scratch worktree, outside the real repo, always cleaned up) and
built/tested there, without ever touching the real working tree.
preview_merge always attempts a verify run when a command is configured;
preview_merge_set only does when its new runVerify parameter is set (default off),
so a set preview never starts N builds unasked. The post-merge verify gate is
unchanged.
Path.GetDirectoryName returned workingDir itself instead of its parent
whenever list.WorkingDir ended in a directory separator, placing
.claudedo-worktrees inside the target repo's own working tree. Add
WorktreeRootResolver to normalize the trailing separator before deriving
the sibling root and to guard that the resulting worktree path never
lands inside workingDir, used by both WorktreeManager and
PlanningSessionManager. Add a startup sweep (LegacyWorktreeFolderRecovery)
that warns when a list's working dir already contains a leftover
.claudedo-worktrees folder from before the fix.
The prime_schedules.prompt_override column existed end-to-end but was
never populated or read. DailyPrepPrompt.BuildPrompt now takes an
optional override and appends it as an extra paragraph after the fixed
prompt (additive, never a replacement, so a user can't disable the
required get_daily_prep_candidates/set_my_day flow). PrimeRunner passes
schedule.PromptOverride through. The Prime tab in Settings now has a
multiline field per schedule wired to a new PromptOverride property on
PrimeScheduleRowViewModel (blank persists as null).
git add -A ran against the shared target checkout, sweeping in
whatever untracked or unrelated modified files a concurrent session
left there and committing them into an unrelated merge. Stage exactly
the paths that were reported conflicted and resolved instead.
A hand-driven task produces no streamed agent output, so the Output tab
opened empty. Bind now selects git for manual/interactive rows and resets
to output for autonomous ones.
DiffEditorSetup is the place for AvaloniaEdit host boilerplate now, so note why
the diff viewer and the merge editor share it but stay separate controls, and
that ModalShell owns the titlebar drag and the OffScreenMargin inset for every
modal.
ModalShell moved its window by assigning Window.Position on every pointer-move,
which bypasses the OS move loop entirely - so Windows never saw a drag gesture
and no snap was ever recognised. Dragging the diff viewer to the top edge did
nothing. The titlebar now calls Window.BeginMoveDrag, which hands the drag to the
window manager and brings back maximise-on-top-edge, half-screen side snap, snap
layouts and the preview overlay. No opt-in flag is needed: the OS only snaps
resizable windows, so the non-resizable modals stay as they are.
The stale comment claiming BeginMoveDrag does not work under Avalonia 12 was
wrong - the method is there in 12.0.4. The VisualRoot cast was the actual problem,
and the window still has to come from TopLevel.GetTopLevel.
Also inset the shell by the window's OffScreenMargin, mirroring what MainWindow
already does for itself. The modals share MainWindow's extended-client-area flags,
so without it a maximised modal overhangs the screen by the invisible resize
border and gets its edges and close button clipped.
Three things were wrong with the fresh side-by-side viewer:
- The panes scrolled independently. The sync hunted the editors' templated
ScrollViewers at load time, but the viewer starts collapsed (no file selected),
so nothing was ever measured, no template existed, and the hook silently
no-opped for the lifetime of the window. Reading now goes through
TextView.ScrollOffsetChanged, which exists from construction; writing goes
through a lazily resolved ScrollViewer.Offset. TextEditor.ScrollToVerticalOffset
is NOT usable here - it is a silent no-op in AvaloniaEdit 12.0.0 even with the
editor templated (verified headlessly).
- Neither pane said what it showed. Added a BASE | WORKTREE header row inside
DiffTextView, sharing the pane grid's columns so each label sits over its editor.
- The layout picker was two lookalike ToggleButtons. It is now a segmented switch
(Border.segmented + Button.segment.active), with wrap demoted to an icon toggle
since it is orthogonal to the layout mode.
The scroll sync, TextMate setup, grammar switching, brush fallback and segment
struct were duplicated between this control and the 3-pane conflict resolver,
which the design doc had used as a copy-paste template. They now live in
DiffEditorSetup; both surfaces migrated. They stay separate controls on purpose -
a read-only two-way renderer over aligned rows with filler lines is not a variant
of a three-way editor over a writable document.
The resolver thereby also picks up the fixed scroll sync and the TryFindResource
brush lookup (its TryGetResource never resolved anything). All four merge tokens
happen to equal their hardcoded fallbacks, so nothing changes on screen.
