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>".
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Both merge-helper ConPTY sessions loaded PromptKind.MergeHelper, so the
post-handoff session received the phase 0-2 dedupe/enhance instructions and was
told to ignore them by its brief alone.
Split into MergeHelperTriage (phases 0-2 + handoff) and MergeHelperExecute
(phases 3-5), so each session carries only its own phases. Consolidated the
generic ask-the-user rule to one place per prompt, scoped Phase 5's summary to
what the execute session actually knows, and moved the dedupe/enhance bilanz to
the triage handoff. Regression guards assert neither prompt carries the other's
phase headings and that the shared-checkout git rule stays in execute.
The ConPTY host flattens LaunchSpec.Args into one Windows command line and quotes
each token, so a list working dir stored as "C:\repo\" produced the token
"C:\repo\" -- whose trailing backslash escapes its own closing quote. Everything
after it collapsed into --add-dir's variadic list, including
--append-system-prompt-file and the positional kickoff, so "Let Claude handle it"
opened a session with no prompt at all and the CLI warned that brief.md is not a
directory. Only user-supplied working dirs can carry a trailing separator; the
session dirs the worker builds never do.
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.
Generates the claude session id up front (--session-id <guid>) for a fresh interactive task
session and persists it to TaskEntity.InteractiveSessionId before launch, so an abort at any
point still leaves a resumable id. BuildForTaskAsync now resumes this task's own last
interactive session in preference to the latest autonomous run's session, but never across a
freshly (re)created worktree.
Stamps ClaudeDo.Worker's build with its exact git SHA (SourceRevisionId ->
InformationalVersion) and exposes it via a new GetWorkerBuildInfo hub call.
For the currently selected list, the shell compares that SHA against the
list's git HEAD (GitService.IsAncestorAsync) and shows a persistent footer
banner -- never auto-clearing, never shown on an unrelated repo or when the
ancestry can't be determined -- so "verified against a merge" claims aren't
silently made against a stale process. No auto-restart; the banner just
offers the existing RestartWorkerCommand.
Remove the redundant TaskUpdated broadcast in TaskRunner.ContinueAsync's
queue-claim path, consolidate InteractiveLaunchSpecService's seven
MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT literals into one constant (fixing the merge-helper handoff
spec's stale 200000ms value), and surface OpenQuickClaudeSession's two
failure cases via ErrorReported/footer instead of a silent no-op, with a
less ambiguous icon.
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.
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 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.
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).
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 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.
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.
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.
"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.
## Problem
Die "Let Claude handle it"-Session (List-Handler) startet mit `--permission-mode default` und fragt
dadurch bei jedem Tool-Aufruf nach Bestätigung. Sie soll autonom durchlaufen können — der User
überwacht die ConPTY-Kachel, statt jede Aktion einzeln freizugeben.
## Ist-Zustand
`src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Runner/InteractiveLaunchSpecService.cs`, `BuildForMergeHelperAsync`
(Zeile ~183-249). Die
ClaudeDo-Task: 50a6027eba294dde8b18e4082dfc1e9b
ClaudeDo never passed --effort, so every session inherited whatever effortLevel
the user's Claude Code config happened to carry. Settings -> General now holds one
row per model alias (haiku medium/20, sonnet high/30, opus high/40, fable high/25)
supplying the global effort and turn defaults; list- and task-level max-turns
overrides still win, and the agent editor's inherited badge follows the model.
--effort is applied to autonomous runs and to every ConPTY spec (task session,
planning start/resume, ad-hoc, list handler). The model itself is deliberately not
forced on interactive sessions. The single global 'Max turns' field is replaced by
the table, and 'fable' joins ModelRegistry.Aliases.
The migration also adds the is_manual columns used by the next commit.
