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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
## 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.
Interactive planning sessions launched with --permission-mode plan, which
gates EVERY MCP tool call regardless of --allowedTools (verified: even a
read-only mcp__claudedo__list_task_lists is denied under plan mode). So the
session prompted the user on the first CreateChildTask -- the whole point of
a planning session.
Switch BuildPlanningStartArgs/BuildPlanningResumeArgs to --permission-mode
default, which honours the allowlist. File edits stay blocked via the planning
system prompt + AllowedTools omitting Write/Edit/Bash. Resume also re-passes
--allowedTools, since the CLI does not restore it across --resume.
The earlier 'glob does not match' hypothesis was empirically falsified:
mcp__claudedo__*, the bare server name, and the explicit tool name all allow
the tool with zero permission_denials in default mode.
Planning start/resume opened an external Windows Terminal (wt) window.
Route them through the embedded ConPTY Command Center pane instead, matching
the existing interactive-session UX (no external window).
- Extract bare planning arg builders (BuildPlanningStartArgs/ResumeArgs) from
WindowsTerminalLauncher; the wt path still uses them (kept, not removed).
- InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildPlanningStart/Resume map a planning
context into a LaunchSpec (planning args + env: MAX_THINKING_TOKENS,
CLAUDEDO_PLANNING_TOKEN). Hub GetPlanningStart/ResumeLaunchSpec run
StartAsync/ResumeAsync then return the spec.
- UI: OpenPlanningSession + the resume branch raise OpenPlanningConPtyRequested;
the shell opens Mission Control and hosts a planning ConPTY pane.
Env is process-global by design (sequential human-paced sessions). wt planning
code retained. Tests added for the arg/env mapping.
A fresh (non-resume) task-based ConPTY session now opens claude on the task's
prompt (title + description) as the positional argument, so the session starts on
the task instead of an empty prompt. Resume sessions and ad-hoc sessions are
unchanged.
BuildForTaskAsync now creates a worktree on demand (via WorktreeManager.CreateAsync,
the same path TaskRunner uses) when a task has a configured working dir but no
Active/Kept worktree, returning a fresh-start spec -- so never-run tasks can be
opened interactively. Adds BuildForDirectoryAsync + GetAdHocLaunchSpec hub/client
for ad-hoc sessions in an arbitrary directory (no task, no worktree, no skill seeding).
Adds InteractiveLaunchSpecService + GetInteractiveLaunchSpec hub method that
prepares a task worktree (session-skills seeding, run env) and returns a
LaunchSpec {cwd,exe,args,env} for a UI-hosted ConPTY terminal. Reuses
ISessionSkillSeeder, TaskRunner.UnionSkillNames, and WindowsTerminalLauncher
resume-arg/resolve logic. Guards mirror ResumeTaskInTerminal; a never-run task
yields a fresh-start spec instead of an error.
