DetailsIsland.BindAsync churn (~1900 binds/day, 91-96% cancelled) was not a
UI reactivity bug: OperationTiming.Shared is a static singleton hardcoded to
~/.todo-app/logs/operation-timing.ndjson, and Ui.Tests/Worker.Tests both
construct real DetailsIslandViewModel/TasksIslandViewModel instances that
call Shared.Record directly. Every dotnet test run appended 50-100 lines
straight into the live app's log — pid-burst analysis showed 13 distinct
test-run pids in the ":?" bucket (tests never pass a source) plus a
no-suffix bucket with no pid field at all (pre-dating the pid-per-line
feature). Real user-driven binds that day: 4.
Made Shared settable and added a [ModuleInitializer]-based TestSetup in
both test projects that redirects it to a per-process temp file before any
test runs.
The merge commit message was hand-rolled per caller ("Merge task: <title>",
"Merge <branch>", "Merge subtask") and ignored the task's commit type. Every
caller now passes a blank message and TaskMergeService fills in
CommitMessageBuilder.BuildMerge -> {commitType}(list-slug): merge <title> plus the
ClaudeDo-Task trailer; the merge modal prefills it from GetMergeTargets.
A merge whose list has a verify command holds the MergeTask call for minutes (5m46s
on this repo), during which the modal only disabled its button - no spinner, no
message, so a landed merge looked like a dead app. TaskMergeService now broadcasts
MergeProgress(taskId, phase, elapsedSeconds) for the merging and verifying phases
(re-reported every 30s) plus a WorkerLog line when verify starts; the modal shows a
spinner and the localized phase.
## Symptom (real aufgetreten, 2026-08-11)
Ein `review_task(decision="approve")` über MCP lief >5 Min. Claude Codes MCP-Client brach den Call ab mit:
> MCP server "claudedo" tool "review_task" sent no response or progress for 300s; aborting.
Ergebnis: der Merge war **schon gelaufen und comitted** (`0e12be4`, `mergeCommit` am Worktree gesetzt), aber der Task blieb auf `WaitingForReview` hängen —
ClaudeDo-Task: d8199f1f-3df3-447f-8de2-e7aca9ec5064
wait_for_task_change resolved #<number>/bare-number ids up front via TaskIdResolver, which
throws for an unknown number -- breaking the tool's own documented promise that an unknown
id reports status "NotFound" instead of failing the whole call. Resolve per id and fall back
to the original id on a resolution failure so CheckOnceAsync can still report it.
TaskNumberAllocator.AddWithNumberAsync indexed into the app_settings UPDATE...RETURNING result
without checking for an empty result, throwing on a missing singleton row; it also caught any
DbUpdateException as a number collision, burning up to 5 numbers on an unrelated failure (e.g.
FK violation) before the real error surfaced. Now recreates the missing row and only retries on
the actual unique-index collision (SQLite error 19 on tasks.number), rethrowing everything else
immediately.
Audited the other TaskIdResolver.ResolveAsync/ResolveManyAsync call sites (ExternalMcpService,
HandoffMcpTools, ConfigMcpTools, RunHistoryMcpTools, AttachmentMcpTools, LifecycleMcpTools,
BatchMcpTools): none of their tool descriptions promise a found/NotFound flag for the id itself
(BatchMcpTools.BatchGetTasks already handles this correctly via its own per-id try/catch;
PreviewMergeSet promises a per-task "error" field, not a found/NotFound flag; the rest are
single-id tools that already throw on a missing task downstream) -- left throwing behavior as-is.
PromptFileRecovery's orphan-quarantine log only reported a bare count, so a customized
merge-helper-execute.md silently stopped applying with no pointer to where it went. Log each
quarantined file's destination path, and for merge-helper-execute.md specifically call out that
it was split into merge-helper-wait.md and merge-helper-merge.md with no content migration.
HandoffMcpTools.HandoffListHandler only validated the phase name and
broadcast it -- nothing bounded how many times a ConPTY session could
hand off wait<->merge, so a model that skimmed past the prompt's
"final round" line could loop indefinitely. Add HandoffRoundTracker,
an in-memory per-handler-task counter (a list-handler run always
creates a fresh handler task, so no reset logic is needed): past 4
handoffs (two full wait/merge cycles) a non-final nextPhase is
coerced to its "_final" counterpart, and any handoff after a
merge_final round for that task is rejected outright.

Slice 4/5 of task-numbers: TaskRowViewModel.Number renders as a dimmed
"#123" before the row title; DetailsIslandViewModel.TaskIdBadge now
shows "#123" instead of the unusable "#T<guid-prefix>" handle; and the
curated WorkerLog business events in TaskRunner, TaskMergeService, and
TaskResetService prefix their quoted title with "#<Number>".
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.
TaskEntity.Number is a global, monotonically increasing, never-reused
integer (displayed as #123), allocated from AppSettingsEntity.NextTaskNumber
via a single UPDATE...RETURNING statement rather than MAX(number)+1, which
would reissue a deleted task's number. Both insert paths (TaskRepository.
AddAsync and CreateChildAsync) route through the new TaskNumberAllocator,
with a bounded retry on a unique-index collision. One migration adds the
columns, backfills existing rows in creation order, and creates the unique
index afterwards. Data-layer only; MCP/UI wiring is later slices.
HandoffRequested now carries nextPhase end to end (IWorkerClient ->
WorkerClient -> MissionControlViewModel -> GetMergeHelperHandoffLaunchSpecAsync),
and the outgoing tile is left open on handoff instead of being closed --
lookups that need the active pane for a task now use LastOrDefault since a
handler task's ConPtySessions can hold more than one pane.
Threads a nextPhase parameter (wait/merge/wait_final/merge_final, validated
by the new MergeHelperPhase) from handoff_list_handler through
HubBroadcaster/WorkerHub into InteractiveLaunchSpecService, which now picks
the next session's system prompt (MergeHelperWait/MergeHelperMerge) and
model (HandlerWaitAlias/HandlerMergeAlias) from it instead of hardcoding the
old two-phase Execute prompt -- this also fixes a build break left by the
prior prompt-split task, which removed PromptKind.MergeHelperExecute without
updating its only caller.
Also sets --model/--effort/--permission-mode explicitly for every list-handler
session (Triage included) via PermissionModeResolver instead of inheriting the
CLI's ambient model and hardcoding "auto", and adds Task to the merge-helper
allowlist so the Merge phase can delegate diff reviews to subagents.
SetListConfig previously could only pass VerifyCommand through unchanged;
only the UI hub could set it. Add an optional verifyCommand parameter with
matching clear/merge/create-vs-delete handling, and split the list result
into ListConfigDto so the task-only SetTaskConfig/GetTaskConfig DTOs stay
untouched. Also corrects Worker/CLAUDE.md's claim that tasks can override
verify_command — it's list-only.
Replace the three ItemsControl sections (Overdue/Open/Completed) with a single
flat Rows collection (HeaderRow | TaskRowViewModel) bound to a ListBox +
VirtualizingStackPanel, so the realized container count stays bounded instead
of growing with the list (measured: ~7-8 realized containers at any scroll
position with 1000 source rows). Group headers become regular row entries,
each section is simply omitted from Rows when empty, and the Completed
section's Clear-completed action moves onto the header row itself.
SectionFor/ReorderAsync/FindNextInSameSection now read a row's section off
the nearest preceding HeaderRow in Rows instead of three separate bound
collections, and ScrollSelectedIntoView goes through ListBox.ScrollIntoView so
it still works for rows outside the realized window. Drag/reorder behavior,
grouping/counts, and the Clear-completed button are unchanged.
Auto-scroll-while-dragging and the cross-section reorder bug are explicitly
out of scope (follow-up tasks).
Two branches merged into main independently: one added `runVerify` to
PreviewMergeSet ahead of `cancellationToken`, the other added the subset
test that passed the token positionally. Neither conflicted textually, so
the mismatch only surfaced as CS1503 at test-compile time.
TaskRunner.ContinueAsync resolved a ClaudeRunConfig but never attached
a per-run MCP token/config or AllowedTools the way RunAsync does, so a
--resume continuation (e.g. reject-rerun with feedback) lost every
mcp__claudedo_run__* tool, including AskUser. Extracted the setup into
SetupMcpConfigAsync and call it from both paths, with matching cleanup
in ContinueAsync's finally block.
After a merge lands on the target branch, TaskMergeService now rebases every
other WaitingForReview task's active worktree onto the new tip -- but only
when that branch actually touches a file the merge just changed, computed via
GitService.GetChangedFileNamesAsync (both the merge's landed files and each
candidate's own diff). A branch merely behind is left alone. On conflict or
any other failure the rebase is aborted and the branch is left exactly as it
was, with a WorkerLog warning naming the task; a successful rebase updates the
worktree's recorded BaseCommit/HeadCommit and broadcasts WorktreeUpdated.
Queuing (update_task_status, batch_update_task_status) and run_task_now
now surface a non-blocking baseDirty warning (separate modified/untracked
counts) when the list's working dir has uncommitted changes at enqueue
time, since a new worktree forks from the commit tip and silently misses
them. BaseDirtyChecker caches per working dir for a few seconds so a
batch queue over many tasks in one list only shells out to git once. The
UI surfaces the same warning via the footer error strip on queue actions.
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.
