The interactive planning TUI never reports its claude session id back, so
planning_session_id stayed NULL and UpdatePlanningSessionIdAsync had no caller
at all -- ResumeAsync always threw "No Claude session ID captured yet".
Resume now looks the id up in the transcript Claude Code writes to
~/.claude/projects/<encoded cwd>/<sessionId>.jsonl for the planning worktree
(newest file wins; a worktree hosts exactly one session) and persists it, so
the next resume is a plain DB read. No transcript -> a clear "cannot resume"
instead of resuming the wrong session.
QueuePicker's raw-SQL Queued->Running claim bypasses TaskStateService.StartRunningAsync,
the only other place that broadcasts TaskUpdated on this transition, so the task-list
badge stayed on "Queued" until the run finished. Send TaskUpdated for alreadyClaimed
dispatches in TaskRunner.RunAsync/ContinueAsync to close that gap.
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.
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.
The cache-token task added an ITranscriptUsageReader ctor param to TaskRunner
while the failure-diagnosis task added this test file. Both branches were green
in isolation; the merged result did not compile.
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.
StreamAnalyzer now reads subtype/terminal_reason/errors from the CLI's result
event, and TaskRunner builds a specific ErrorMarkdown from them: max_turns names
the turn budget and points at set_task_config + requeue, api_error passes
through the provider's own message (which carries the reset time), and any
other terminal_reason is appended to the previous generic text instead of
staying invisible. Falls through to the old "exited with code N and no result"
text when there's no terminal_reason at all (a real crash).
## 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
ClaudeDo-Task: 87105f5e-c4f4-4af4-ae60-89cd2e153e3c
task_runs.tokens_in only ever held the API's uncached "input_tokens" field
(off by a factor of ~400,000 on a resumed session), and tokens_out summed
only the last result event instead of the whole session. TaskRunner now
reads each run's cache-read/cache-write/input/output totals from the
session transcript via a new ITranscriptUsageReader.ReadSessionTotalsAsync,
storing the delta against prior runs on the same session so a --resume
doesn't double-count. New task_runs.cache_read_tokens/cache_write_tokens
columns; the Session tab now shows the raw total (what actually counts
against the 5h/7d usage limit) with a breakdown tooltip.
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 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.
Adds GetUsageSnapshot/GetModelUsage/GetTaskUsage to WorkerHub (backed by a
shared UsageSnapshotBuilder), a UsageUpdated broadcast fired after every
UsageMonitorService poll cycle, and records the resolved model on each
task_runs row so per-model/per-task usage can be reported from history.
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.
Planning sessions could already steer a subtask's model but not its turn
budget, so a visibly large subtask would still die at the global default
turn limit. maxTurns is optional (default null = inherit list/global
default, matching model); 0/negative values are rejected as invalid input,
consistent with the existing model-alias validation.
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.
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.
> **Stand 2026-08-05 (List-Handler):** Der Roadblock aus dem letzten Lauf ist erledigt. Beide Voraussetzungen sind jetzt auf `main` gemerged: die `app_settings`-Schwellen `UsageGateFiveHourPct`/`UsageGateSevenDayPct` (Merge-Commit `b1efcdc`) und `UsageState`/`IUsageClient`/`UsageMonitorService` unter `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Usage/` (Merge-Commit `b126a21`). Dein Worktree ist frisch von diesem `main`
ClaudeDo-Task: 06a7cc32-6ab7-4758-98f4-bee77149b2bf
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.
BuildForTaskAsync's fresh-session path flattened the task title+description
into one positional CLI argument, which the ConPTY host joins into a single
command line and claude re-splits on whitespace -- any dash-leading token in
the description (e.g. "->", "--abort") was misread as an unknown option, and
a raw multi-line prompt truncated at its first newline regardless. Now the
brief is written to ~/.todo-app/task-sessions/<taskId>/brief.md and exposed
via --add-dir, with a single-line kickoff pointing claude at it -- the same
pattern BuildForMergeHelperAsync and the planning launcher already use.
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.
Phase 0 forced a batch_get_tasks full-fetch across every task just to see
descriptions, which blew past the client's token limit on larger lists.
brief.md lives on disk and has no such limit, so descriptions now render
there directly (fenced with an extended backtick run, indented under the
list bullet, so embedded headings/lists/code fences can't break the task
list's own structure). Phase 0 now treats the brief as the primary source
and only falls back to batch_get_tasks for fields it doesn't carry.
Aggregates ~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl assistant messages by date/model/
scope (ClaudeDo worktree-or-sandbox cwd vs Other), deduped by requestId
(falls back to message.id), with a per-file length+mtime cache so repeat
calls skip unchanged files.
Adds Usage/ with ClaudeOAuthUsageClient (reads the access token Claude
Code keeps fresh at ~/.claude/.credentials.json, calls the Anthropic
OAuth usage endpoint, defensively parses buckets/limits), UsageState
(threadsafe last-good-snapshot holder that never regresses on
failure), and UsageMonitorService (BackgroundService polling on the
new usage_poll_interval_seconds config, min 15s, one poll at startup,
warns at most once per distinct error).
"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.
A full model id like claude-sonnet-4-6 in list_config.model never matched any
ModelPresets row (only bare aliases did), so every run under it landed on the
hardcoded 30-turn/DefaultLevel fallback instead of the sonnet preset row -
this is what killed two autonomous tasks at the 30-turn limit.
ModelRegistry.TryNormalizeAlias (non-throwing: exact match, then substring
match against a full model id) lets ModelPresets.For resolve a full model id
to its alias's preset row. For a model that still doesn't resolve, the
hardcoded 30 is replaced by a caller-supplied fallbackMaxTurns, and TaskRunner
now passes AppSettings.DefaultMaxTurns there - so that setting has a real
effect instead of being dead, matching the direction already noted in
docs/open.md.
