The 4s reconcile tick called Apply(), which did Rows.Clear() + refill on
every tick -- resetting the user's scroll position and selection while
they're mid-read, exactly what the overlay exists to avoid.
Reconcile granularly instead: find the overlap between the previous and
latest snapshot (the ring buffer is append-mostly, evicting from the
front as entries age out of the 30-min window), trim rows for evicted
entries off the tail, and insert new entries at the head. A tick with no
change now leaves Rows untouched. The WarnErrorOnly toggle still goes
through the full Apply() rebuild, unchanged.
The 4s reconcile tick was added to three long-lived surfaces. On two of
them it reloads by rebuilding every row instance, which silently threw
away whatever the user had built up since the overlay opened; on the
third it healed a row's data but left it in the wrong section.
- WorktreesOverview: LoadAsync clears Rows, SelectedCount, ConflictRows
and BatchProgress, so batch-merge ticks, the highlighted row and a
finished batch's outcome badges were wiped every four seconds --
assembling a multi-worktree selection was impossible. Carry that state
across the reload, keyed by task id, and re-point SelectedRow at the
fresh instance (or clear it when the worktree is gone).
- MergeHelperSelection: the remember/restore had no re-entrancy guard, so
a second tick entering between the first one's reload and its restore
snapshotted rows already back at IsTickedByDefault and wrote that
default back, re-ticking what the user had unticked. One tick at a time,
and hold the row instances instead of a value snapshot so a tick landed
during the await survives.
- TasksIsland: the tick deliberately never called Regroup because Phase 2b
owned Rows in parallel. 2b has landed, so a healed task that went Done
stayed in the Open section under a stale count, and a healed depends-on
link never pulled its dependent under the chain head. Regroup when a
patch moved a grouping input, gated on a cheap key so an idle tick stays
free.
Slice 1 of dependency-chain display: TaskRowViewModel gains DependsOnTaskId
plus the extrinsic ShowAsChainMember/ChainStep/ChainAfterLabel contract for
Slice 2's rail/badge rendering. Regroup's ClassifyItems walks each row's
DependsOnTaskId chain per section, pulls dependents directly under their
head regardless of SortOrder, and falls back to a flat row + label when the
head isn't in the same section (mirrors the ParentInView precedent).
Planning children never join a chain group - parent indent wins - and only
ever carry the label.
No AXAML changes; that's Slice 2.
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.
The task-numbers slice added a UNIQUE index on tasks.number. Ui.Tests seed
TaskEntity rows directly instead of going through TaskRepository, so every row
kept the default Number = 0 and 31 tests failed with
'UNIQUE constraint failed: tasks.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.
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.
Adds HandlerTriageAlias/HandlerWaitAlias/HandlerMergeAlias to ModelRegistry and
replaces PromptKind.MergeHelperExecute with MergeHelperWait (phase 3 only) and
MergeHelperMerge (phases 4-5), so the list handler can run as three
cost-scoped sessions instead of two. Triage's Phase 2 now checks/sets a wide
verify command via get_list_config/set_list_config once per run. Merge now
merges before reruns, delegates diff review to a sonnet subagent, rejects
0-file diffs, tracks the merged-but-not-Done verify-gate outcome, and caps
reruns at one per task via handoff_list_handler's new nextPhase parameter.
InteractiveLaunchSpecService.cs still references the removed
PromptKind.MergeHelperExecute and fails to build -- wiring the Worker/UI side
onto the new roles is a follow-up task.
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.
A list working_dir stored as "C:\Dev\Tests\StaplerTracking\" broke every consumer
that puts it on a Windows command line: argv rules read \" as an escaped quote, so
the token never closes. "Open in terminal" passed wt.exe a starting directory of
C:\Dev\Tests\StaplerTracking" and it failed with 0x8007010b; the same data had
already corrupted the ConPTY list handler's arg list in August.
Paths.TrimTrailingSeparator is now the single helper (replacing the copies in
InteractiveLaunchSpecService and ClaudeHelpLauncher) and ListRepository applies it
on Add/Update, which covers every writer: UI create, repo import, hub UpdateList,
and MCP CreateList/UpdateList. OpenInTerminal also switches to ArgumentList so its
quoting is correct regardless of what's stored.
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).
TasksIslandViewModel now runs a periodic tick that diffs the flat Items
collection against SQLite and patches properties in place (capped at 500
rows, sharing the Phase 1 delta sequence guard so it never overtakes a
fresher broadcast). Never rebuilds rows or triggers Regroup/LoadForList, so
it stays decoupled from the parallel Phase 2b virtualization work. The same
cadence now refreshes the long-lived Worktrees Overview, Log Visualizer, and
Merge Helper selection overlays; short-lived modals are untouched.
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.
A MinVer dev build on main computes a prerelease of its own guessed next
version (e.g. 2.9.1-alpha.0.14 after tag v2.9.0), which already sorts
above the last tag by numeric core, so the update banner correctly
stays quiet there. But the reduction to a bare numeric core meant a
genuine new release landing at exactly that guessed version (v2.9.1
real) compared equal to the still-running prerelease and the banner
never fired. A prerelease now only loses to a real release of the same
core, not to another prerelease of the same core.
Verified against the live repo: latest published tag is v2.9.0; a
Release build of this worktree (14 commits ahead) reports
AssemblyInformationalVersion 2.9.1-alpha.0.14+<sha>.
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.
