TaskIdResolver resolves a #123/bare-123 taskId parameter to its GUID
before any lookup, across every External/ MCP tool that takes a task
id, including the batch tools' id arrays (via delegation to the
already-resolving single-entity methods) and update_task's
dependsOnTaskId (empty string still passes through unchanged as the
clear-link sentinel). An unknown number throws a clear error instead
of a silent null. McpToolDocs.TaskNumberHint tells the agent to refer
to tasks as #<number> when reporting to the user, added to the
description of get_task, list_tasks, add_task, update_task_status and
review_task.
Adds Number alongside every task id in External/'s DTOs -- the two
central mappers (ToDto/ToRefDto -> TaskDto/TaskRefDto) plus every
DTO that carries a bare task id and bypasses them (batch results,
queue state, wait-for-change, config, attachments, handoff,
lifecycle, merge-preview-set, worktree list). Input resolution
(#123 as an argument) stays for slice 3.
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.
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.
Every tool description now leads with what the tool does AND when to reach for
it, since MCP clients rank tools by that text. Per-parameter prose moved onto
the parameters as [Description], exhaustive result-shape enumerations and
design/history rationale dropped, and the repeated boilerplate clauses
(lean-task-ref, batch cap, refused-while-Running) pulled into McpToolDocs,
which also documents the style for future tools.
Tool-level description text: 20494 -> 13605 chars (-34%); combined with the new
parameter descriptions 18517 (-10%).
Closes gaps that caused wrong calls rather than just verbose ones:
- list_task_attachments returns metadata only, no file content
- run_task_now shares continue_task's single override slot and throws when busy
- list_runs is ordered oldest-first and feeds get_run
- workingDir on create_list/update_list is an existing local git repo path,
unvalidated until the first task run
- get_task_worktree's behind=0 also means the main ref was unreachable
Removes get_task_status_values: a whole tool entry for static reference text.
GetTask's description is now the canonical place for status meanings.
WaitingForChildren already counted as "changed" since it's outside Queued/Running,
so waiting on a planning parent returned immediately even though its children were
still running. The new opt-in flag (default false, unchanged behavior) keeps polling
through WaitingForChildren and only reports changed once the parent reaches
WaitingForReview or a terminal status.
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.
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.
