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.
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.
review_task/continue_merge on a planning parent always leaves conflicts in
the tree, and the UI auto-opened the resolver on every PlanningMergeConflict
broadcast regardless of who started the merge -- so a running Claude session
resolving a unit-merge conflict could race a human editing the same shared
checkout in a resolver window neither of them asked for.
PlanningMergeOrchestrator.StartAsync now takes an externallyDriven flag (set
by ExternalMcpService's MCP-driven review_task path, left false for the UI's
ApproveReview) that rides along on the PlanningMergeConflict broadcast. The
UI only auto-opens the resolver when it's false; otherwise it shows a
persistent banner with a manual "Open resolver" button, cleared on
PlanningMergeAborted/PlanningCompleted. A new GetActiveExternalConflictsAsync
query (checked against GitService.IsMidMergeAsync rather than the in-memory
flag alone) lets the UI resync the banner on reconnect instead of trusting a
one-shot broadcast that isn't replayed after a restart.
The childless single-task conflict path was checked and needed no change --
it only broadcasts the generic TaskUpdated, never PlanningMergeConflict.
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.
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.
The embedded ConPTY terminal replaced the in-app streaming interactive session, so
delete the dead stack: StreamingClaudeSession, InteractiveSessionService,
ProcessClaudeStreamTransport, IClaudeStreamTransport, ILiveSession, LiveSessionRegistry,
IdleSessionReaper (+ WorkerConfig.InteractiveIdleTimeoutMinutes), the WorkerHub
interactive methods + HubBroadcaster events, IWorkerClient interactive members, the
TaskMonitorViewModel composer + SessionTerminalView composer markup, and the old
'Run interactively' entry. AskUser/PendingQuestionRegistry, the autonomous path,
planning, ResumeTaskInTerminal, and all ConPTY code are kept. Localization pruned.
StreamingClaudeSession raises onQueueChanged (pending snapshot) and onUserMessageSent
(on delivery, incl. the seeded first prompt); InteractiveSessionService forwards these
as InteractiveQueueChanged/InteractiveMessageSent broadcasts. Lets the UI show queued
messages above the input and move a message into the transcript only when actually
delivered to Claude. Client events + fakes updated.
InteractiveSessionService resolves a task's list working dir + seeded prompt,
spawns a StreamingClaudeSession (claude stream-json in the list dir, model+auto
as before), registers it in LiveSessionRegistry, streams output over TaskMessage,
and broadcasts InteractiveSessionStarted/Ended (an exit watcher fires Ended). The
hub's OpenInteractiveTerminalAsync now starts this in-app session; SendInteractiveMessage
and StopInteractiveSession route to it. The external Windows-Terminal interactive
launch (LaunchInteractiveAsync / InteractiveLaunchContext / OpenInteractiveAsync) is
removed; planning sessions keep their terminal launch.
A running task can call mcp__claudedo_run__AskUser(question) to block (up to 3
min) on a human answer. PendingQuestionRegistry holds the pending question +
TaskCompletionSource; the tool broadcasts TaskQuestionAsked, awaits the answer
(WorkerHub.AnswerTaskQuestion resolves it), and returns it as the tool result —
or a 'proceed on your judgment' fallback on timeout. The run stays Running
throughout (no status/schema change). ClaudeProcess raises MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT so
the 60s HTTP-MCP cap doesn't kill the wait; the run MCP is now wired for every
task, not just standalone ones. System prompt updated to reconcile 'unattended'.
Runner stack (non-worktree path): IClaudeProcess + ClaudeProcess spawning the
CLI with --output-format stream-json, prompt via stdin, parses the final
type:"result" line into RunResult. LogWriter appends ndjson to
~/.todo-app/logs/<taskId>.ndjson. TaskRunner orchestrates DB transitions
(MarkRunning -> MarkDone/Failed) and pushes TaskStarted/Message/Finished/
Updated via HubBroadcaster. Worktree-backed lists short-circuit with a
"Slice E" failure message until git support lands.
QueueService (BackgroundService) holds two in-memory slots (_queueSlot +
_overrideSlot) guarded by a lock. Uses PeriodicTimer + SemaphoreSlim wake
signal so WakeQueue() triggers an instant pickup. RunNow throws
InvalidOperationException when override busy; CancelTask cancels the linked
CTS which kills the child process tree.
WorkerHub extended with GetActive, RunNow (translated to HubException
variants), CancelTask, WakeQueue. HubBroadcaster exposes typed push methods.
Tests: 26 pass (12 new). QueueServiceTests cover override-busy,
schedule-filter, FIFO sequentiality, cancellation, plus a FakeClaudeProcess
that blocks on a TCS for deterministic slot-state assertions.
MessageParserTests cover result extraction + malformed/non-result lines.
