docs(changelog): update for v2.5.0

Dragging a task row onto a user list in the Lists island now reassigns it
to that list. The task drag holds the pointer capture, so the release is
resolved geometrically (new case between the Mission Control and reorder
cases) instead of going through the Lists island's own DragDrop path,
which never sees a DragEventArgs during a task drag.

TaskRepository.MoveToListAsync reassigns the task plus every descendant
(a child must never sit in a different list than its parent) and appends
the task at the end of the target list. Guards: running tasks and tasks
holding an Active/Kept worktree are rejected to the footer error strip;
a move that changes repo asks for confirmation naming both repos.

The source repo is read from the task's own list rather than the island's
current list, which is a smart/virtual list with no working dir of its own
whenever one of those is shown.

+# Explore-notes
+
+Distilled, reusable maps of complex subsystems, produced by deep code exploration.
+The goal: stop re-exploring the same subsystem from scratch in every new session.
+
+These sit **between** the CLAUDE.md files and the code:
+
+- **CLAUDE.md** — high-level orientation, hand-maintained, always-loaded.
+- **explore-notes** — deeper subsystem detail (flows, who-calls-whom, invariants) that is
+  too fine-grained for a CLAUDE.md but stable enough to be worth caching. Read on demand.
+- **code** — the only source of truth.
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Only stable structure.** Flows, responsibilities, entry points, invariants, relative
+  file paths. **No line numbers**, no exhaustive symbol dumps — those rot fastest.
+- **Verify before trusting.** A note is a starting map, not authority. Always confirm
+  against current code before acting on it. Each note records the commit it was verified
+  against so you can diff for drift.
+- **Not a substitute for CLAUDE.md.** If a fact belongs in orientation, put it there.
+
+## Header every note must carry
+
+```
+> **Explore-note — verify before trusting.** Distilled map of a subsystem, not authoritative.
+> Last verified against commit `<short-hash>` (<date>).
+> Drift check: `git log --oneline <short-hash>..HEAD -- <paths this note covers>`
+> Stable structure only (no line numbers). See docs/explore-notes/README.md.
+```
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Before** deep-exploring a subsystem, check for a matching note here and read it first;
+   explore only to fill gaps or confirm.
+2. **After** a deep explore, distill the durable findings into a new/updated note and bump
+   its "verified against" commit line.
+3. If the drift check shows the covered paths changed a lot since the verified commit, treat
+   the note as suspect and re-verify the parts you rely on.

+# Worker: Task Execution Pipeline
+
+How a task moves Queued → Running → terminal, across `src/ClaudeDo.Worker`
+(Queue, Runner, Lifecycle, State, Agents, Worktrees, Hub).
+
+## End-to-End Flow (Queued → Terminal)
+
+1. **Enqueue** — `ITaskStateService.EnqueueAsync()` (State/TaskStateService.cs)
+   - Idle → Queued, then wakes the dispatcher via `IQueueWaker.Wake()`.
+
+2. **Dispatch** — `QueueService` loop (Queue/QueueService.cs)
+   - `BackgroundService`; waits for a wake signal or a backstop timer.
+   - Reads the max-parallel limit from settings; claims a free slot if under limit.
+
+3. **Atomic Claim** — `IQueuePicker.ClaimNextAsync()` (Queue/QueuePicker.cs)
+   - Raw SQL `UPDATE ... RETURNING` in one transaction: picks an eligible Queued task
+     (unblocked, due or unscheduled; sorted by sort_order/created_at), sets status→Running
+     + started_at, returns the row. Prevents two workers claiming the same task (TOCTOU).
+
+4. **Slot Execution** — `QueueService.RunInSlotAsync()` (Queue/QueueService.cs)
+   - For review feedback: resume the prior session if one exists, else fold feedback into
+     the prompt. Calls `TaskRunner.RunAsync()` / `ContinueAsync()` with `alreadyClaimed=true`.
+
+5. **Run Preparation** — `TaskRunner.RunAsync()` (Runner/TaskRunner.cs)
+   - Loads task, list config, subtasks, attachments from the DB.
+   - `PrepareRunDirectoryAsync()`: worktree (via WorktreeManager) if the list has a WorkingDir,
+     else sandbox. Generates a per-run MCP token, writes MCP config to disk.
+   - `StartRunningAsync()` (only if not pre-claimed): atomic Queued → Running. Broadcasts TaskStarted.
+
+6. **Claude Execution** — `TaskRunner.RunOnceAsync()` (Runner/TaskRunner.cs)
+   - Creates a TaskRunEntity, points the task at the run's log path.
+   - Builds claude CLI args (ClaudeArgsBuilder), spawns the process via `IClaudeProcess.RunAsync()`
+     with prompt + working dir + streaming callback.
+   - Stream lines → NDJSON log + broadcast via TaskMessage. MCP tools (AskUser, SuggestImprovement)
+     are scoped by the per-run token.
+
+7. **Result Handling** — `TaskRunner.HandleSuccess()` / `MarkFailed()` (Runner/TaskRunner.cs)
+   - Success (exit 0 + result markdown): if worktree, commit + broadcast WorktreeUpdated; then
+     transition to Done / WaitingForReview / WaitingForChildren (CompleteAsync / SubmitForReviewAsync
+     / SubmitForChildrenAsync).
+   - Failure: if a session exists, auto-retry once via ContinueAsync; else MarkFailed → FailAsync.
+   - All terminal writes use `CancellationToken.None` so a task is never left Running.
+
+8. **Terminal States** — `ITaskStateService` transitions (State/TaskStateService.cs)
+   - **Done** CompleteAsync (Running → Done) — top-level success.
+   - **WaitingForReview** SubmitForReviewAsync (Running → WaitingForReview) — review gate.
+   - **WaitingForChildren** SubmitForChildrenAsync (Running → WaitingForChildren) — blocks on children.
+   - **Failed** FailAsync (Running/Queued → Failed).
+   - **Cancelled** CancelAsync (Running/Queued/WaitingForReview/WaitingForChildren → Cancelled).
+
+## Component Responsibilities
+
+**Queue/**
+- `QueueService` — main dispatch loop; slot limit; decides when to start tasks.
+- `QueuePicker` — atomic Queued→Running claim via raw SQL.
+- `QueueWaker` — semaphore for non-blocking, idempotent wake signals.
+- `OverrideSlotService` — owns the RunNow / ContinueTask slot (bypasses the queue).
+
+**Runner/**
+- `TaskRunner` — orchestrates the run (prepare, execute, handle result).
+- `WorktreeManager` — creates/manages git worktrees; self-heals stale branches.
+- `ClaudeProcess` — spawns the claude CLI subprocess; manages streams/logs.
+- `TaskRunMcpService` — runtime MCP tools (AskUser, SuggestImprovement).
+- `TaskRunTokenRegistry` — per-run MCP identity for tool-access control.
+- `InteractiveLaunchSpecService` — config for the task's claude run.
+
+**State/**
+- `TaskStateService` — all task status transitions; guards preconditions; signals queue/hub.
+
+**Lifecycle/** (startup recovery)
+- `StaleTaskRecovery` — tasks stuck Running after a crash/restart → Failed.
+- `OrphanRecovery` — dequeues children whose parent is no longer planning (stays attached).
+- `AttachmentOrphanRecovery` — cleans orphaned attachment files.
+- `TaskResetService` — manual reset to Idle.
+- `TaskMergeService` — conflict resolution for worktree merges.
+
+**Hub/**
+- `HubBroadcaster` — single SignalR broadcast point (TaskStarted/TaskUpdated/TaskMessage/RunCreated…).
+- `WorkerHub` — SignalR hub + client methods.
+
+**Agents/**
+- `AgentFileService` — file I/O for custom agents.
+- `DefaultAgentSeeder` — seeds built-in agents on startup.
+
+**Worktrees/**
+- `WorktreeMaintenanceService` — cleanup, state tracking, overview reporting.

+
+## Invariants & Conventions
+
+- **Atomic claiming** — QueuePicker's `UPDATE ... RETURNING` makes Queued→Running atomic.
+- **Slot limit** — respects MaxParallelExecutions; a backstop timer wakes even if a Wake() is missed.
+- **Pre-claimed tasks** — the dispatcher pre-claims via the picker; the override slot
+  (RunNow/ContinueTask) must call StartRunningAsync if a task is not pre-claimed.
+- **Terminal writes** — use `CancellationToken.None`; a task is never left Running after crash/cancel.
+- **Per-run MCP tokens** — each run gets a unique token scoping tool access; unregistered on end.
+- **Auto-retry** — one automatic retry if a session exists and the first run failed.
+- **Worktree self-heal** — on branch collision, remove phantom worktrees, prune, delete branch, retry add.
+- **Review feedback** — stored on the task; consumed once a run reaches a terminal state; a re-queued
+  task resumes the session or folds feedback into the prompt.
+- **Child tasks** — planning creates draft children; finalization requires no Queued children remain;
+  OrphanRecovery dequeues children if the parent is not planning.
+- **Lifecycle recovery** runs at startup: stale-Running → Failed; orphaned children → dequeued but attached.

+# Fix-Plan — Verifikations-Findings (Stand 2026-07-24)
+
+Einstiegspunkt für eine **frische Fix-Session**. Sammelt die in der manuellen Verifikation
+(§7–§9 + Kanten §1/§3/§4) gefundenen Probleme, gruppiert nach **Fixbarkeit**. Volltext je
+Finding (mit Kontext/Wiederholschritten) steht in `docs/open.md`; hier steht der Fix-Blick:
+Root-Cause, konkreter Ansatz, Loc/Test-Hinweise, und **welche Punkte vor der Umsetzung eine
+Entscheidung brauchen**.
+
+**Immer zuerst:** file:line-Angaben gegen den aktuellen Code prüfen (können minimal driften).
+Build/Test-Regeln + Gotchas s. Projekt-`CLAUDE.md` (u.a. `.slnx` braucht .NET 9 → einzelne
+`.csproj -c Release`; Localization.Tests erzwingt en/de-Parität; Subagents `sonnet`, Dateien
+pfad-scoped stagen). Pro Fix ein Conventional Commit.
+
+---
+
+## Bearbeitungsstand (Session 2026-07-24, nicht gepusht)
+
+**Erledigt & committed:**
+- Gruppe A #1–5 + beide Optional-Nits (Icon.Plus gefüllt, Gear-PathIcon, Skills-Empty-State,
+  „Subtasks"-Terminologie, Conflict-Continue-Hinweis, Rename-Darstellung, Turns/Tokens-Reload).
+- Gruppe B #7 (Resume-Fehler surfacen) + #8 (Attachment-Drop-Diagnose).
+- Gruppe C #9 (AskUser-Banner in Detail-Insel via geteiltem `TaskMonitorViewModel`),
+  #11 (OUTCOME zeigt `summary` statt rohem JSON: Worker-Unwrap + UI-Sicherheitsnetz).
+- Gruppe D #13 (Kind-Rows live-refresh bei Parent-Planning-Transitionen) + #14 (Idle-Chip auf
+  Planning-Parents ausgeblendet). *Visual-Verification für #13 (Finalize/Discard live) offen.*
+
+**#6** war im aktuellen Code bereits abgedeckt (Worker wirft `HubException` bei `blocked`
+→ UI-Dialog); zusätzlich als ClaudeDo-Task `f9809a93` erfasst. Nicht angefasst.
+
+**Offen:**
+- **#10 + #12** — bewusst gebündelt mit dem ConPTY-Planning-Task `5d627df8` (dort lässt sich
+  die Session-Id sauber greifen bzw. das MCP-Permission-Verhalten klären). Sofort-Schutz für
+  #10 (Resume ausgrauen wenn keine Id) wurde NICHT gebaut — bräuchte Worker-Plumbing, das der
+  ConPTY-Umbau ohnehin liefert; der #7-Fix verhindert bereits das stille Scheitern.
+- **Gruppe E** — nur noch design-/feature-behaftete Punkte. Der scheinbare Quick-Win
+  „Dequeue-X auf blockierten Kettengliedern" wurde bewusst NICHT umgesetzt: einzelnes Dequeue
+  eines Kettenglieds hinterlässt hängende Nachfolger (deren `BlockedByTaskId` zeigt weiter auf
+  das nun idle Glied) → braucht Chain-Repair-Design.
+
+---
+
+## Gruppe A — Mechanisch, sofort fixbar (keine Entscheidung nötig)
+
+Ideale Kandidaten für den Start / parallele Subagents (disjunkte Dateien).
+
+1. **„New session"-Button unsichtbar (Icon.Plus strich-only)**
+   `IslandStyles.axaml` (`Icon.Plus` = `M12 5v14M5 12h14`, reine Linie) wird in einem
+   `<PathIcon>` (MissionControlView.axaml, füllt Geometrie) unsichtbar gerendert.
+   **Fix:** `Icon.Plus` als gefüllte Geometrie authoren ODER als gestricheltes `Path`
+   rendern (vgl. `Path.plan-icon`). **Andere `Icon.Plus`-Verwendungen mitprüfen.**
+
+2. **Agent-Settings-Gear weicht vom Listen-Gear ab**
+   `TaskHeaderBar.axaml:68` rendert `<TextBlock Text="⚙">`; überall sonst `Icon.Settings`
+   (PathIcon, IslandStyles.axaml:110). **Fix:** den `⚙`-TextBlock durch
+   `<PathIcon Data="{StaticResource Icon.Settings}" Width=".." Height=".."/>` ersetzen.
+
+3. **Session-Skills-Tab ohne Empty-State**
+   Bei 0 Skills nur nackte Fläche. **Fix:** Empty-State-Text unter der Install-Zeile
+   (z.B. „No skills installed — paste a GitHub URL above"). **Loc:** neue Keys in en.json
+   **und** de.json (Parität!). Datei: `SessionSkillsSettingsTab*`.
+
+4. **„Waiting for Improvements" für Planning-Parents (Terminologie)**
+   `en.json` `taskStatus.waitingForChildren`/`agentStatus.children`/`childOutcomesLabel`
+   sagen „Improvements". Seit unified-parent gilt `WaitingForChildren` auch für Planning.
+   **Fix:** auf neutrales „Waiting for Subtasks"/„Subtasks"/„SUBTASKS" umstellen — en **und**
+   de (Parität).
+
+5. **Conflict-Resolver: Continue-Button klickbar trotz offener Konflikte**
+   Merge passiert korrekt erst nach Auflösung, aber der Button ist nicht disabled → früher
+   Klick = stummer No-op. **Fix:** `CanContinue`/`AllResolved` an `IsEnabled` binden (ggf.
+   Hinweis „N Konflikte in M Dateien offen"). Datei: `ConflictResolverView(.axaml)` +
+   `ConflictResolverViewModel`.
+
+Optional-Nits (gleiche Gruppe, niedrige Prio):
+- **Diff-Viewer Rename schwach dargestellt** (alt→neu-Pfad + „renamed"-Label statt „+0 −0").
+- **Header-TurnsText `0/max`** bei terminalem Reload — `Turns` aus `task_runs.turnCount`
+  restaurieren.
+
+---
+
+## Gruppe B — Error-Surfacing (klare Richtung: kein stiller/leerer Fehlerpfad)
+
+Leitlinie `feedback_ui_error_surfacing`: User-Action-Fehler in den Footer
+(`FlashFooterError`) bzw. Dialog, nie leerer `catch`/stiller No-op.
+
+6. **Approve & Merge schluckt „blocked" still**
+   `DetailsIslandViewModel.ApproveReviewAsync` reagiert nur auf `Status == "conflict"`; bei
+   `"blocked"` (z.B. dirty Ziel-Tree) passiert nichts. **Fix:** bei `blocked`/unerwartetem
+   Status `result.ErrorMessage` surfacen. *(Als ClaudeDo-Task `f9809a93` erfasst — koppelt
+   „Approve erzwingt Diff/Review vor Merge".)*
+
+7. **„Resume planning session" verschluckt den Fehler (Teil-Fix hier, Rest → Gruppe C #10)**
+   `TasksIslandViewModel.ResumePlanningSessionAsync` (~Zeile 870) hüllt alles in `catch { }`.
+   **Sofort-Fix:** den Fehler surfacen statt schlucken. Der eigentliche Resume-Defekt braucht
+   eine Entscheidung → #10.
+
+8. **Attachments: intermittenter erster-Drop-Fehler („An error occurred")**
+   Einmalig beobachtet (erster Drop der Session, nichts persistiert), nicht reproduzierbar.
+   **Fix (diagnostisch):** `AddFilesAsync`/`OnDrop` robustes Error-Logging geben (die genaue
+   Exception fehlt, weil `DropStatus` nur `{fileName}: {ex.Message}` zeigt) — damit der
+   nächste Fall auswertbar ist. Kandidaten-Ursachen: SQLite-Contention (UI schreibt `todo.db`
+   direkt, während der Worker sie hält) oder Drop-Stream-Pfad (`IStorageFile.OpenReadAsync`
+   im Code-Behind, außerhalb des `try`).
+
+---
+
+## Gruppe C — Erst Entscheidung/Brainstorm, DANN umsetzen (nicht blind fixen)
+
+9. **AskUser-Interaktion auch in der Detail-Insel** *(von Mika ausdrücklich gewünscht)*
+   Der `ask_user`-Banner + Inline-Antwort existiert nur in Mission Control
+   (`MonitorPaneView`); die Detail-Insel zeigt für den laufenden Task nichts.
+   **Entscheidung:** wie den Zustand teilen — `TaskMonitorViewModel` hält ihn bereits; für
+   die Detail-Insel replizieren, teilen, oder ein gemeinsames Banner-Control? Danach:
+   Banner + `AnswerDraft`/`SubmitAnswer` in `DetailsIslandView(Model)` einhängen.
+
+10. **„Resume planning session" grundsätzlich kaputt (Session-Id nie erfasst)**
+    `PlanningSessionManager.ResumeAsync:238` wirft immer „No Claude session ID captured yet",
+    weil `TaskRepository.UpdatePlanningSessionIdAsync:322` **keinen Aufrufer** hat →
+    `planning_session_id` bleibt NULL. **Entscheidung:** (a) claude-Session-Id der
+    wt-Planning-Session erfassen + via `UpdatePlanningSessionIdAsync` persistieren (echtes
+    Resume) ODER (b) Resume entfernen/deaktivieren, wenn keine Id vorliegt. Hängt mit der
+    Design-Entscheidung „Planning über embedded ConPTY statt wt" zusammen (ClaudeDo-Task
+    `5d627df8`) — dort ließe sich die Session-Id sauber greifen.
+
+11. **OUTCOME-Karte rendert rohes Structured-Output-JSON**
+    `TaskMonitorViewModel.ApplyOutcome` setzt bei Tasks ohne Roadblock `SessionOutcome`
+    = `task.Result` wörtlich; der Worker legt dort rohes `{"summary":…}` ab.
+    **Entscheidung:** (a) UI parst JSON-Result und zeigt `summary`, oder (b) Worker schreibt
+    `summary`/`resultMarkdown` statt JSON in `task.Result`.
+
+12. **Planning-Session prompted nach MCP-Tool-Permission**
+    Trotz `--allowedTools "mcp__claudedo__*,…"` + `--permission-mode plan` prompted die
+    wt-Planning-Session beim ersten `create_child_task`. **Untersuchen/Entscheiden:** matcht
+    der `mcp__claudedo__*`-Glob in CLI 2.1.207 nicht (Syntax evtl. ganzer Server-Name), oder
+    gated Plan-Mode MCP-Writes generell? Gekoppelt an ConPTY-Planning-Task `5d627df8`.
+
+---
+
+## Gruppe D — Erst Root-Cause pinnen (Investigation)
+
+13. **Kind-Rows aktualisieren nach Parent-Planning-Transitionen nicht live**
+    Nach **Finalize** bleiben Kind-Badges „Draft" statt „Planned"; nach **Discard** bleiben
+    die (in der DB gelöschten) Kind-Rows sichtbar — bis Listen-Reload. Doppelt verifiziert §3.
+    **Untersuchen:** wie wird die Kinderliste/-gruppierung auf ein Parent-`TaskUpdated`
+    reagierend neu aufgelöst? Vermutlich fehlt ein Regroup/Refetch der Children beim
+    Parent-Broadcast (`TasksIslandViewModel` hierarchie-Regrouping). Fix danach: Children bei
+    Parent-Transition live neu auflösen.
+
+14. **Planning-aktiver Parent zeigt weiter „Idle"**
+    Parent `planning_phase=active` hat `Status=Idle` (korrekt im Modell), aber der Row-Chip
+    zeigt „Idle"; `PlanningBadge` überschreibt das nicht sichtbar. **Untersuchen/Design:** ein
+    klarer „Planning/Draft aktiv"-Zustand, der den Idle-Chip überschreibt. (Verwandt mit #13 —
+    Row-Statusdarstellung.)
+
+---
+
+## Gruppe E — UX-Nits / Feature-Wünsche (niedrige Prio, sammeln)
+
+- **Conflict-Resolver: mehrere Konfliktdateien schlecht erkennbar** — prominentere Datei-Liste
+  / „x von y Dateien".
+- **Blocked-by-Kette nicht visualisiert** — Reihenfolge/Abhängigkeit darstellen
+  („wartet auf <Vorgänger>").
+- **Dequeue-„X" fehlt auf blockierten Kettengliedern** — `CanRemoveFromQueue` erweitern
+  (`IsWaiting` einschließen).
+- **„Open ConPTY session" erneut = Prompt wird neu gesendet** — Resume-Affordance / Re-Open-
+  Warnung (bewusst kein Session-Persist).
+- **Conflict-Resolver: farbliches Hervorheben übernommener Zeilen im Result-Pane** (Feature).
+
+---
+
+## Nicht anfassen / Kontext
+
+- **§1 DiffModal-Fehler-State** (`vm.diff.unavailable`) ist **defensiver, über die UI
+  unerreichbarer** Code — alle Aufrufer sind gegated (`CanDiffMergedRange` verlangt base+head
+  non-null; `ConfigureWorktree` nur mit existierendem Pfad). Kein Fix nötig.
+- **`--permission-mode auto` + `haiku` denied Writes** — modellabhängiges Verhalten, keine
+  Regression; Default (sonnet) unbetroffen. Beobachten (Memory `auto_permission_haiku_footgun`).
+- **§10 Daily Prep/Weekly** — Verifikation zurückgestellt bis zum geplanten Rework.
+
+---
+
+## Empfohlene Reihenfolge
+
+1. **Gruppe A** (mechanisch, schnell, teils parallel) → sofort sichtbare Wins.
+2. **Gruppe B** (Error-Surfacing, klein & risikoarm).
+3. **Gruppe C** — pro Punkt kurz brainstormen/entscheiden, dann umsetzen (#10 + #12 zusammen
+   mit der ConPTY-Planning-Entscheidung betrachten).
+4. **Gruppe D** — Investigation, dann Fix (#13 zuerst — betrifft mehrere Planning-Flows).
+5. **Gruppe E** — nach Bedarf.

 ---
 
-## Manuelle Verifikation (offen)
+## Bugs (verifiziert 2026-07-24)
 
-Kein Code-Aufwand, nur Durchspielen mit explizit notiertem Pass-Kriterium. Der Großteil der Pipeline ist laut User bereits in der Praxis getestet; hier das, was noch ein falsifizierbares Observable braucht.
+- **OUTCOME-Karte rendert rohes Structured-Output-JSON:** `TaskMonitorViewModel.ApplyOutcome` (ClaudeDo.Ui) setzt bei Tasks ohne Roadblock-Marker `SessionOutcome = result` wörtlich (Zeile ~261). Der Worker legt in `task.Result` das rohe `{"summary":…,"files_changed":[…]}` ab (die lesbare Fassung steht in `task_runs.resultMarkdown`), also zeigt die Detail-Insel OUTCOME als JSON-Blob statt als Text. Fix: (a) UI parst ein JSON-Result und zeigt `summary`, oder (b) Worker schreibt `summary`/`resultMarkdown` statt des JSON in `task.Result`. Verifiziert am Task `verif §1 diff matrix`. Deckt sich mit Memory `worker_testing_findings`.
+- **Approve & Merge schluckt einen „blocked"-Merge still:** `DetailsIslandViewModel.ApproveReviewAsync` reagiert nur auf `result.Status == "conflict"` (öffnet den Resolver); bei `"blocked"` (z.B. Ziel-Working-Tree hat uncommittete getrackte Änderungen) und anderen Nicht-`merged`/Nicht-`conflict`-Status passiert **nichts** — kein Footer-Fehler, kein Dialog (der `catch` greift nur bei Exceptions, „blocked" ist aber ein normaler Rückgabewert mit `ErrorMessage`). User sieht „Klick tut nichts". Doppelt verifiziert (Konflikt-Approve UND sauberer additiver Approve `verif §1b`, beide bei dirty `main`-Checkout still). Fix: bei `blocked`/unerwartetem Status `result.ErrorMessage` via `ShowErrorAsync`/`FlashFooterError` surfacen. Verstößt gegen `feedback_ui_error_surfacing`. (Der Konflikt-Resolver + 3-Pane-Editor funktionieren, sobald der Ziel-Tree sauber ist.)
+- **„Waiting for Improvements" für Planning-Parents (Terminologie):** `taskStatus.waitingForChildren` = „Waiting for Improvements" (en.json:504), `agentStatus.children` dito (503), `childOutcomesLabel` = „IMPROVEMENTS" (191). Seit dem unified-parent-Modell gilt `WaitingForChildren` für Planning **und** Improvement-Parents — „Improvements" ist für einen Planning-Parent falsch. Auf neutrales „Waiting for Subtasks"/„Subtasks" umstellen (en **und** de — Localization.Tests-Parität). Verifiziert §3.
+- **Kind-Rows aktualisieren nach Parent-Planning-Transitionen nicht live:** Parent-getriebene Änderungen propagieren nicht auf die Kind-`TaskRowViewModel`s ohne Listen-Reload. (a) Nach „Finalize planning" bleiben Kind-Rows auf „Draft" (`IsDraft`) statt „Planned" (`IsPlanned`) — der geänderte `ParentFinalized` kommt nicht über das Parent-`TaskUpdated`-Broadcast an. (b) Nach „Discard" bleiben die (in der DB gelöschten) Draft-Kind-Rows sichtbar, bis die Liste neu geladen wird. Gemeinsame Ursache: die Kinderliste/-zustände werden bei Parent-Transitionen nicht live neu aufgelöst. Doppelt verifiziert §3 (Finalize **und** Discard, 2026-07-24).
+- **AskUser-Frage erscheint NUR in Mission Control, nicht in der Task-Detail-Insel:** Der `ask_user`-Banner (Frage + Antwort-Eingabe) lebt ausschließlich in `MonitorPaneView` (Mission Control). Die Detail-Insel (`DetailsIslandView`) streamt zwar den Live-Log eines laufenden Tasks, zeigt aber **kein** Frage-Banner — ein Nutzer, der nur die Detailansicht offen hat, sieht nicht, dass der Run auf eine Antwort wartet, und läuft nach 3 min in den Timeout-Fallback. Verifiziert §7 (User schaute Detailansicht, Frage war unsichtbar; erst in Mission Control sichtbar). Fix: Frage-Banner + Inline-Antwort auch in der Detail-Insel für den gebundenen laufenden Task surfacen (VM-Zustand liegt bereits in `TaskMonitorViewModel`, müsste für die Detail-Insel repliziert/geteilt werden). **Von Mika bei der §7-Verifikation ausdrücklich gewünscht** („vermisse diese Interaktion in der Detail-Ansicht"). §7.
+- **„New session"-Button (Mission Control) unsichtbar — Icon.Plus ist Strich-Only:** `Icon.Plus` = `M12 5v14M5 12h14` (IslandStyles.axaml:61) ist reine Linien-Geometrie ohne Fläche; im `<PathIcon>` (MissionControlView.axaml:38, füllt Geometrie) rendert sie **unsichtbar** → der Ad-hoc-„New session"-Button erscheint leer und ist nicht auffindbar (Feature + VM `OpenAdHocConPtySessionAsync` + Tests funktionieren, nur das Icon fehlt sichtbar). Fix: Icon.Plus als gefüllte Geometrie authoren ODER als gestricheltes `Path` rendern (Icon-Gotcha in CLAUDE.md). **Andere `Icon.Plus`-Verwendungen mitprüfen.** Verifiziert §5.
 
-- **Worktree-Pipeline:**
-  - Worktree-Happy-Path → `worktrees.state='active'`, `head_commit` gesetzt, `diff_stat` non-empty, Branch `claudedo/<id>` auf Disk.
-  - No-Changes-Run → `status='Done'`, `head_commit IS NULL`, `diff_stat IS NULL`.
-  - Kein Git-Repo (`working_dir=C:\Temp`) → `status='Failed'`, **keine** `worktrees`-Row, Git-Fehler im Log.
-- **Feature-Walkthroughs:** Planning-Session-Flow (Draft→Finalize→Chain), Prime/Daily-Prep-Trigger, Weekly-Report-Generierung, Self-Update (Banner → Update → „up to date").
-- **UI-Sichtprüfung (neu, 2026-06-09):** Diff-Viewer (Dateiliste, Added/Deleted/Renamed/Binary-Erkennung, Commit-Range-Diff nach Merge) und das „children need attention"-Band auf dem Session-Tab des Parents.
-- **UI-Sichtprüfung (neu, 2026-06-10, nach Refactoring-Merges):** Detail-Insel komplett durchklicken (Output/Git/Session-Tabs, Merge-Sektion, Agent-Settings-Overrides, Prep-Panel) — `DetailsIslandViewModel` wurde in Sektions-VMs aufgeteilt, Bindings angepasst. Außerdem: DiffModal-Fehler-State „Diff nicht mehr verfügbar" (Commit-Range ohne aufgezeichnete Commits) und der In-App-Konflikt-Resolver (Hub-Methoden umbenannt).
-- **UI-Sichtprüfung (neu, 2026-06-19, Rider-Style 3-Pane Merge-Editor):** Echten Konflikt auslösen (Single-Task-Approve mit Konflikt **und** Planning-Unit-Merge) und prüfen: drei Panes (Ours read-only | Result editierbar | Theirs read-only), Konfliktblöcke rot / aufgelöst grün in allen Panes, Inline-Accept `›`/`‹` in den Zwischen-Guttern landen die jeweilige Seite im Result, nur Konfliktregionen im Result editierbar (Stable read-only), synchrones vertikales Scrollen, File-Switcher bei mehreren Dateien, `M conflicts · K resolved`-Readout, Continue erst bei allen Konflikten gelöst, Binär-Guard. **Bekannte Kanten:** (1) Konflikt mit leerer Ours-Seite → Result-Region ist null-lang (Gutter via 1-Zeichen-Probe positioniert, Accept funktioniert; nur Hand-Tippen in die leere Region ist fummelig). (2) Gutter-Y nutzt `TranslatePoint` vom Result-`TextView` — bei sehr hohen Fenstern / großen Scrollständen die Ausrichtung gegenprüfen. (3) Blöcke richten sich nur über Stable-Text aus; nach einem Konflikt mit unterschiedlicher Zeilenzahl je Seite driften nachfolgende Blöcke vertikal (aligned/virtual-space Scroll ist bewusst zurückgestellt).
-- **Worker-Autostart am Gerät:** Logoff/Logon-Autostart, Update-Pfad, Uninstall entfernt die Startup-`.lnk`.
-- **In-App Interactive Sessions (neu, 2026-06-26):** ersetzt den externen `wt`-„Run interactively"-Launch durch einen In-App-Streaming-Chat (`StreamingClaudeSession`, `claude --input-format stream-json`). Real-CLI-Smoke (kein xUnit, kein Claude in Tests):
-  - Task rechtsklick → „Run interactively" startet **keinen** Terminal mehr; der Stream erscheint im Detail-Output-Tab des (selektierten) Tasks und als Monitor in Mission Control.
-  - Composer: Nachricht tippen + Enter/Send → erscheint sofort als `log-user`-Zeile in **Akzentfarbe** (via `LogKindForegroundConverter`, lokale Bindung schlägt den dim Style), Claude antwortet im selben Prozess.
-  - **Senden während Claude arbeitet = Queue (Default):** die Nachricht wird gepuffert und beim `result` des laufenden Turns abgeschickt (kein Interrupt). Mehrere Queue-Nachrichten FIFO, eine pro Turn. Gequeute Nachrichten erscheinen in einem **Pending-Streifen über der Eingabezeile** (⧗-Liste, via `InteractiveQueueChanged`); eine Nachricht landet erst im Transkript (`log-user`-Zeile via `InteractiveMessageSent`), wenn sie tatsächlich an Claude zugestellt wird. Der seeded Erst-Prompt erscheint als erste User-Zeile. Jede gequeute Zeile hat ein **✕ zum Entfernen** (`RemoveQueuedInteractiveMessage`, by-text first-match; Worker re-broadcastet die Queue).
-  - **Interrupt opt-in:** der kleine ■-Stop-Button neben Send unterbricht den laufenden Turn (`control_request`/`interrupt`, verifiziert mit CLI 2.1.191; Abbruch-`result` = `error_during_execution`, als Turn-Ende behandelt) — danach flusht die ggf. gequeute Nachricht im selben Prozess mit erhaltenem Kontext. Stop-Button ist immer sichtbar solange live (Interrupt im Idle ist ein No-op; Turn-in-flight wird nicht in die UI gebroadcastet).
-  - Session-Ende: Prozess-Exit/Stop → `InteractiveSessionEnded`, Composer verschwindet, Monitor wird „done".
-  - **Sicht-Konsistenz:** Mission-Control-Composer (SessionTerminalView-Bottom-Row mit Send-Button) vs. Detail-Composer (WorkConsole-Shell-Prompt `❯ … [Send]`) sehen unterschiedlich aus — ggf. angleichen.
-- **Drag-and-drop file attachments on the detail pane:** verify the "Drop to attach" hover overlay, drop round-trip (file appears in the list), "Add file…" picker, remove button, and that files land under `~/.todo-app/attachments/<taskId>/`. Also verify the MCP `AddTaskAttachment`/`ListTaskAttachments`/`RemoveTaskAttachment` tools and that a Running task refuses add/remove. (Manual; can't be unit-tested.)
+## UX / Nits (verifiziert 2026-07-24)
 
-## Offene Code-Punkte
+- **„Resume planning session" ist grundsätzlich kaputt (Session-Id wird nie erfasst) + Fehler wird verschluckt:** Im UnfinishedPlanning-Modal macht **Resume** nichts. Ursache: `PlanningSessionManager.ResumeAsync` (PlanningSessionManager.cs:238) bricht mit `InvalidOperationException("No Claude session ID captured yet; cannot resume.")` ab, wenn `task.PlanningSessionId` leer ist — und der Setter `TaskRepository.UpdatePlanningSessionIdAsync` (TaskRepository.cs:322) hat **keinen einzigen Aufrufer** im Worker, d.h. `planning_session_id` wird nie befüllt (verifiziert an `verif §3 resume-discard`: `planning_session_id=NULL`, Token gesetzt, Drafts angelegt). Resume kann also **nie** erfolgreich sein. Zusätzlich verschluckt `TasksIslandViewModel.ResumePlanningSessionAsync` den ganzen Block in einem leeren `catch { }` (~Zeile 870) → der Button ist ein **stummer No-op**, kein Footer-Fehler, kein Dialog (verstößt gegen `feedback_ui_error_surfacing`). Hintergrund: die wt-Planning-Session ist interaktiv; ClaudeDo erfasst die claude-Session-Id dort nicht (analog zur bewusst nicht persistierten ConPTY-Session-Id, §5). Fix-Optionen: (a) beim Planning-Start/-Lauf die claude-Session-Id erfassen und via `UpdatePlanningSessionIdAsync` persistieren, damit Resume echt resumen kann; ODER (b) Resume entfernen/deaktivieren, wenn keine Session-Id vorliegt; in JEDEM Fall den Fehler statt des leeren `catch` surfacen. Verifiziert §3. §3.
+- **Attachments: erster Drag&Drop der Session schlug einmalig fehl („An error occurred"):** Beim allerersten Drop-to-attach einer UI-Session zeigte die `DropStatus`-Zeile inline einen generischen Fehler und es wurde nichts persistiert (kein File, keine DB-Row); alle folgenden Drops derselben Session + der „Add file…"-Picker + Remove funktionierten fehlerfrei. Nicht reproduzierbar nach dem ersten Mal (App-Neustart nötig, um die „erster-Drop"-Bedingung wiederherzustellen). Kandidaten: transiente SQLite-Contention (der UI-Prozess schreibt `todo.db` direkt via `new TaskAttachmentRepository`, während der Worker dieselbe DB hält) ODER ein Fehler im Drop-Stream-Pfad (`IStorageFile.OpenReadAsync` im Code-Behind, außerhalb des `try` in `AddFilesAsync`). Falls es erneut auftritt: `AddFilesAsync`/`OnDrop` mit robusterem Error-Logging versehen (die genaue Exception-Message fehlt, weil `DropStatus` nur `{fileName}: {ex.Message}` zeigt). Verifiziert §9 (einmalig beobachtet). §9.
+- **Agent-Settings-Gear weicht vom übrigen Settings-Icon ab:** Der Agent-Settings-Flyout-Button (`TaskHeaderBar.axaml:68`) rendert ein Unicode-Glyph `⚙` (`<TextBlock Text="⚙">`), während die Listen-Nav (`ListsIslandView.axaml:56`) und die Listen-Settings (`TasksIslandView.axaml:47`) das gefüllte `Icon.Settings`-PathIcon (Gear-StreamGeometry, IslandStyles.axaml:110) nutzen → optisch ein anderes Zahnrad. Angleichen: den `⚙`-TextBlock durch `<PathIcon Data="{StaticResource Icon.Settings}" .../>` ersetzen. Verifiziert §8 (User-Sichtprüfung). §8.
+- **Session-Skills-Tab hat keinen Empty-State:** Bei 0 installierten Skills zeigt der Skills-Tab (Settings) nur eine nackte leere Fläche unter der Install-Zeile — kein erklärender Hinweis (z.B. „Noch keine Skills installiert — GitHub-URL oben einfügen"). Verifiziert §8 (frischer Zustand vor ponytail-Install). Kleiner Empty-State-Text ergänzen.
 
-- **Status-Bar Live-Update:** Prüfen, ob `RunNow`-Enable/Disable pro Task-Row bei Connection-Change sauber re-evaluiert. Connection-Status lebt in `IslandsShellViewModel` / `WorkerConnectionModalViewModel` (es gibt keinen `StatusBarViewModel` mehr). Erst messen, dann ggf. fixen. Klein.
-- **`AgentMcpTools` liegt in `LifecycleMcpTools.cs`** — beim Suchen irreführend; in eigene Datei verschieben. Ein-Minuten-Fix, lohnt keinen Agent-Lauf — beim nächsten Worker-Touch mitnehmen.
+- **Diff-Viewer: reiner Rename schwach dargestellt:** Rename korrekt erkannt (`UnifiedDiffParser` → `DiffFileStatus.Renamed`, Badge `StatusCode="R"`), aber der File-Tree zeigt nur den neuen Namen + „+0 −0" ohne „alt → neu"-Pfad; liest sich wie „keine Änderung". Optional: alten Pfad + „renamed"-Label anzeigen. §1.
+- **Header-TurnsText zeigt `0/max` für abgeschlossene Runs:** `TurnsText => {Turns}/{EffectiveMaxTurns}` — `Turns` wird beim Laden eines terminalen Tasks nicht aus `task_runs.turnCount` restauriert (nur live gefüllt). Kosmetisch. §1.
+- **Conflict-Resolver: Continue/Merge-Button klickbar trotz offener Konflikte:** Gate greift funktional (merged erst wenn alle Konflikte in allen Dateien gelöst), aber der Button ist nicht disabled/gegraut → früher Klick ist ein stummer No-op. Besser: disabled bis `AllResolved`, oder Hinweis „N Konflikte in M Dateien offen". §4.
+- **Conflict-Resolver: mehrere Konfliktdateien schlecht erkennbar:** Beim 2-Datei-Konflikt schwer zu sehen, dass zwei Dateien betroffen sind (File-Switcher/Anzahl zu unauffällig). Prominentere Datei-Liste / „x von y Dateien". §4.
+- **Planning-aktiver Parent zeigt weiter „Idle":** Parent in `planning_phase=active` hat `Status=Idle` (korrekt im Modell), aber der Row-Status-Chip zeigt „Idle"; der `PlanningBadge` ersetzt das nicht sichtbar → liest sich wie ein normaler Idle-Task. Wunsch: klarer „Planning/Draft aktiv"-Zustand, der Idle überschreibt. (Kinder zeigen korrekt „Draft".) §3.
+- **Blocked-by-Kette nicht sichtbar:** Nach Finalize ist die sequentielle Kette korrekt gesetzt (child[i] blocked-by child[i-1]), aber die UI stellt die Reihenfolge/Abhängigkeit nicht dar. Wunsch: Kette visualisieren (z.B. „wartet auf <Vorgänger>"), nicht nur der „waiting"-Chip nach dem Queueen. §3.
+- **Dequeue-„X" fehlt auf wartenden (blockierten) Kettengliedern:** `CanRemoveFromQueue = IsQueued || HasQueuedSubtasks`, `IsQueued` verlangt leeres `blocked_by`. Ein gequeuetes, aber blockiertes Kind (`IsWaiting`) bekommt daher kein Remove-from-queue-X — nur Parent + erstes (entsperrtes) Kind. §3.
+- **„Open ConPTY session" erneut = Prompt wird neu gesendet, kein Resume:** Da die ConPTY-Session-Id bewusst nicht persistiert wird, startet ein erneutes „Open ConPTY session" auf demselben Task eine frische Session und sendet den Task-Prompt erneut (re-runt die Arbeit im selben Worktree) statt zu resumen. So designt, aber UX-Falle — evtl. „Resume"-Affordance oder Re-Open-Warnung. §5.
 
-## Nachklapp Refactoring-/Bug-Runde (2026-06-09/10)
+## Feature-Wünsche (aus der Session)
 
-Alle 9 Review-Tasks (5 Refactorings, 4 Bugfixes) sind umgesetzt und gemerged; Details in den Commits. Offen geblieben:
+- **Conflict-Resolver: farbliches Hervorheben eingefügter Zeilen im Result-Pane** (grüner „flow" der übernommenen Zeilen). §4.
+- Als ClaudeDo-Tasks in Liste „Claude do" erfasst: **Approve erzwingt Diff/Review vor Merge** (koppelt den blocked-Merge-Silent-Fail-Fix) und **interaktive Planning-Session über embedded ConPTY statt externem wt-Fenster** (koppelt den Planning-Permission-Prompt).
 
-- **`DetailsIslandViewModel` ist nach dem Split noch 1258 Zeilen** (Ziel war ~800) — die drei Sektions-VMs (AgentSettings, Merge, Prep) sind extrahiert, weitere Extraktion (z.B. ChildOutcomes/Subtasks-Sektion) lohnt erst, wenn die Datei wieder wächst.
-- **Bewusst zurückgestellt:** WorkerHub-Split nach Concern (~60 Methoden in einer Hub-Klasse). Die Interface-Parität löst das akute Testbarkeits-Problem; ein Hub-Split ist eine größere Architekturentscheidung → erst besprechen.
-- **Lessons learned:** Der `StartRunningAsync`-Guard-Task hat isoliert grün getestet, aber den Queue-Pfad gebrochen (Picker claimt vor dem Dispatch) — Integrationsfix `74ca2e0`. Bei parallelen Tasks, die denselben Pfad berühren, nach JEDEM Merge-Schwung die volle Suite auf main fahren.
+## Sichtprüfung offen (2026-07-27, Batch „Claude do"-Liste)
 
-## Bug-Befunde (Korrektheits-Review 2026-06-09)
+Alles gebaut + unit-getestet, aber **nicht visuell verifiziert** — Mika prüft:
 
-**Plausibel, noch nicht einzeln verifiziert (bei Gelegenheit prüfen):**
+- **Ctrl+K fokussiert die Suche, `#` ist wieder tippbar** (Binding war `OemQuestion` = `#` auf DE-Layout).
+- **Titel-Edit in der Detail-Insel persistiert** (400 ms debounced, wie die Beschreibung); Row-Titel + Merge-Kontext ziehen mit.
+- **Spinner beim ConPTY-Start:** Tile erscheint sofort mit „Sitzung wird gestartet…" und deckt Launch-Spec-Roundtrip + Spawn ab. **Nicht** abgedeckt: die Sekunden, die die claude-TUI danach zum ersten Frame braucht (dafür bräuchte es einen Hook auf `TerminalControl.DataReceived`). Bei Launch-Fehler bleibt das Tile jetzt mit Inline-Banner stehen statt zu verschwinden.
+- **Spinner beim Refine** ersetzt den Refine-Button in der Row, solange der Run läuft.
+- **Interactive-Chip** statt „Parked" auf Tasks mit offener ConPTY-Session; Klick öffnet Mission Control und fokussiert die Pane. Accent-Tint (bewusst dieselbe „live"-Familie wie Running, klar unterschieden vom slate-blauen Parked).
+- **Diff-Viewer:** rechter Abstand der `+n −n`-Zahlen im File-Tree.
+- **Manual-Tasks:** MANUAL-Badge, Kontextmenü-Toggle, Listen-Checkbox „Manuelle Liste"; Queue/Refine/Planning ausgeblendet, ConPTY bleibt.
+- **Settings → Allgemein:** Tabelle „Vorgaben pro Modell" (Effort + Max. Durchläufe je haiku/sonnet/opus/fable). Ersetzt das einzelne globale „Max. Durchläufe"-Feld.
 
-- Cancel eines `WaitingForChildren`-Parents kaskadiert nicht auf laufende/queued Kinder (verwaiste Worktree-Commits).
-- Ketten-Kaskade stoppt an einem `Idle`-Mittelglied (`OnChildFinishedAsync` prüft `CancelAsync`-Ergebnis nicht) → Rest bleibt `Queued+blocked`.
-- Delete des *letzten* nicht-terminalen Kindes triggert kein `TryAdvanceParentAsync` → Parent kann in `WaitingForChildren` hängen (FK `SET NULL` rettet nur die Blocked-Kette).
-- `ContinueMergeAsync` staged per `git add -A` vor dem Konflikt-Check (Marker im Index, Abort danach ggf. unsauber).
-- `HasChangesAsync` zählt untracked Files → blockiert Merges unnötig (`--untracked-files=no`).
-- `UnifiedDiffParser`: Pfade mit Leerzeichen / git-gequotete Pfade aus `diff --git` falsch geparst.
-- Kleinkram: MergePreview-Race bei schnellem Target-Wechsel, CTS-Dispose-Leak in Debounce-Saves, `Environment.CurrentDirectory`-Fallback im Konflikt-Dialog, Doppel-Continue-Fenster im Orchestrator.
+Offene Entscheidungen dazu:
 
-**Geprüft und verworfen (keine Bugs):** ReviewFeedback-„Endlosschleife" (Fallback existiert), Cross-Thread-Crashes im DetailsIslandViewModel (Dispatcher-Marshalling im WorkerClient), Chain-Wedge nach Child-Delete (FK `ON DELETE SET NULL`), `\ No newline`-Parsing.
+- Interaktive ConPTY-Sessions bekommen `--effort`, aber **kein** `--model` — die Session läuft weiter unter dem Modell aus Mikas Claude-Config, der Effort kommt aus dem Preset des Modells, das ClaudeDo für die Task auflösen würde. Falls ClaudeDo auch interaktiv das Modell erzwingen soll, ist das ein Folge-Task.
+- `AppSettings.DefaultMaxTurns` ist nur noch Fallback für ein Modell ohne Preset-Zeile und hat keinen Editor mehr. Spalte könnte später entfallen.
+
+## Beobachtung (offen — Entscheidung Mika)
+
+- **`--permission-mode auto` + Modell `haiku` → Writes werden denied:** Kontrolliert verifiziert (CLI 2.1.207): unter dem Default-Mode `auto` bekommt **sonnet** Writes auto-approved (`permission_denials:[]`), **haiku** wird `denied` (`permission_denials:[Write]`, keine Datei) — eine haiku-Task macht unter `auto` still nichts und landet ohne Änderung in `WaitingForReview`. Normalbetrieb (Default = sonnet) nicht betroffen. KEINE CLI-Regression, sondern modellabhängiges `auto`-Verhalten. Optionen falls es nervt: haiku aus der Auswahl nehmen, ODER Runner auf `acceptEdits`/`bypassPermissions` (modell-unabhängig). Mika: erstmal beobachten. Siehe Memory `auto_permission_haiku_footgun`.
+
+---
+
+## Offene Verifikation (2026-07-27)
+
+- **List handler (2026-07-27)** — visual pass: the Broom button is gone from the lists footer,
+  the context-menu item appears only on lists with a working dir, and the selection dialog has no
+  LIST column. Plus a real-Claude smoke run of the five phases (dedupe questions, enhancements
+  landing in task descriptions, queued execution, merges).
 
 ---
 
 ## Bewusst verworfen (nicht erneut vorschlagen)
 
 - **CI-Build/Test-Pipeline** — push-to-main + release-on-push deckt das ab; Tests laufen am Ende jeder Session.
-- **Real-`claude`-Smoke-Test als xUnit-Test** — kein Claude in `dotnet test`; bleibt manueller Check (siehe oben). Tests nutzen `FakeClaudeProcess`.
-- **`architecture.md` / ADRs** — die per-Projekt-`CLAUDE.md`-Dateien sind die lebende Doku; ADRs lohnen solo nicht.
-- **Task-Mailbox-Integration** — geparkt; das generische `mcp__mailbox__*`-Plugin reicht (Begründung in `mailbox-proposal.md`).
-- **Tag-Negation, Tag-Multi-Select, Notes-`lists.kind`-Switch, Install-Service-Skript** — durch die aktuelle Architektur überholt (Tag-System entfernt, Notes/Autostart anders gelöst).
+- **Real-`claude`-Smoke-Test als xUnit-Test** — kein Claude in `dotnet test`; bleibt manueller Check. Tests nutzen `FakeClaudeProcess`.

+# Session Skills — Implementation Plan
+
+Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-03-session-skills-design.md`
+Approach: subagent-driven TDD (sonnet), build + test + commit per task, stage files by
+path (never `git add -A`).
+
+**Pre-flight (do first, before building anything):** manual smoke test — drop a skill
+into a scratch worktree's `.claude/skills/` and run `claude -p` to confirm cwd skills are
+discovered in headless mode. The whole feature rests on this. If it fails, stop and
+redesign around `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 1 — Data layer: columns + registry table + migration
+
+- Add nullable `SessionSkills` (string, JSON array) to `TaskEntity`, `ListConfigEntity`,
+  `AppSettingsEntity`; map `session_skills` columns in their `*Configuration.cs`.
+- New `SessionSkillEntity` (`name` PK, `source_url`, `pinned_ref`, `subpath`,
+  `description`, `added_at`) — one row per skill; a multi-skill repo writes N rows sharing
+  `source_url`/`pinned_ref` — + configuration + `session_skills` table.
+- New `SessionSkillRepository` (async, CancellationToken): `ListAsync`, `GetAsync(name)`,
+  `UpsertAsync`, `DeleteAsync(name)`, `DeleteBySourceAsync(url)`, `ListBySourceAsync(url)`.
+- EF migration `AddSessionSkills` (columns + table).
+- **Tests (Data.Tests):** repository CRUD on real SQLite; JSON column round-trips a
+  name list.
+
+## Task 2 — Registry service (install / update / remove)
+
+- `Skills/SessionSkillRegistry` + `Skills/Interfaces/ISessionSkillRegistry`,
+  `IRepoCloner` (clone abstraction so tests inject a local source dir).
+- `GitRepoCloner` (production) does `git clone` + resolves HEAD SHA.
+- Install: clone → **detect layout** (`skills/*/SKILL.md` bundle → each subskill; else
+  root `SKILL.md` → single; else reject) → per skill parse YAML frontmatter (`name`,
+  `description`), copy its dir **flat** to `~/.todo-app/session-skills/<name>/`, upsert a
+  row with `subpath`. Reject collision with a skill from a different source; reinstalling
+  the same source refreshes.
+- Update(sourceUrl) / Remove(sourceUrl) per spec (act on all of a source's skills).
+- **Tests (Worker.Tests):** install a **multi-skill** fixture (fake cloner, mirrors
+  ponytail's `skills/*/SKILL.md`) → N rows + N flat dirs; install a root-`SKILL.md`
+  fixture → 1 row; neither → rejected; cross-source name collision rejected;
+  remove-by-source deletes all its dirs + rows. **No real network / no real claude CLI.**
+
+## Task 3 — Resolution: union into ClaudeRunConfig
+
+- Add `IReadOnlyList<string> SkillNames` to `ClaudeRunConfig` (default empty).
+- In `TaskRunner.ResolveConfigAsync`: parse each level's `session_skills`, union + dedup,
+  filter to registry-existing names (drop + log missing).
+- **Tests (Worker.Tests):** union across the three levels; dedup; unknown name dropped.
+
+## Task 4 — Seeder
+
+- `Skills/SessionSkillSeeder` + interface. `SeedAsync(cwd, skillNames, isWorktree, ct)`:
+  copy each installed skill dir → `<cwd>/.claude/skills/<name>/`; if worktree, append
+  `/.claude/skills/<name>/` to `git rev-parse --git-path info/exclude` target if absent.
+- Wire into `TaskRunner` after run-dir resolution, before `ClaudeProcess.RunAsync`
+  (both worktree and sandbox paths).
+- **Tests (Worker.Tests):** seeds into real temp dir; idempotent re-seed; worktree
+  exclude line written once and not duplicated; seeded path is git-ignored (real git
+  temp repo → `git status` clean for the seeded dir).
+
+## Task 5 — Hub + DTOs + client
+
+- `WorkerHub`: `GetSessionSkills`, `InstallSessionSkill(url)`, `UpdateSessionSkill(name)`,
+  `RemoveSessionSkill(name)`.
+- New `SessionSkillDto`; extend `AppSettingsDto`, `ListConfigDto`, `UpdateListConfigDto`,
+  `UpdateTaskAgentSettingsDto` with skill-name lists; map in the update handlers.
+- `IWorkerClient` + `WorkerClient` additions.
+- **Update hand-rolled fakes** in Worker.Tests + Ui.Tests (memory
+  `iworkerclient_fakes_sync`).
+- **Tests:** hub method round-trip via existing hub test harness where present.
+
+## Task 6 — UI: registry tab + selectors
+
+- `SessionSkillsSettingsTabViewModel` + a **Skills** tab in `SettingsModalView.axaml`:
+  installed list, Add (URL), Update, Remove, status line. Mirror
+  `FilesSettingsTabViewModel`.
+- Global multi-select in General settings tab → `AppSettings.SessionSkills`.
+- Skills multi-select in shared `AgentConfigEditor` (covers List + Task) with inheritance
+  badge, wired through `AgentConfigEditorViewModel`.
+- Localization: add EN + DE keys in parity (Localization.Tests enforces).
+- **Tests (Ui.Tests / Localization.Tests):** VM load/save of selections; locale parity.
+- **Visual verification is Mika's** — flag the gaps.
+
+## Task 7 — Wiring, build, end-to-end smoke
+
+- DI registration (registry, cloner, seeder) in `Program.cs`.
+- Build all touched projects `-c Release`; run Worker/Data/Ui/Localization test projects.
+- Manual E2E: install ponytail via the UI, enable per-task, run a task, confirm the skill
+  is available to the agent and **not** committed and **not** in interactive sessions.
+
+---
+
+Commit per task with Conventional Commits (`feat(worker|ui|data): …`). Commit the
+spec + plan docs first.

+# Plan — ConPTY Interactive Sessions
+
+Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-23-conpty-interactive-sessions-design.md`
+Date: 2026-07-23
+
+Execution: subagent-driven-development, sonnet model, TDD where meaningful,
+build + test + commit per task. Stage files explicitly by path (never
+`git add -A`). Terminal rendering is visual — flagged for the user's visual pass.
+
+## Task 0 — Spike: embed a ConPTY terminal running `claude`
+
+Not TDD; a throwaway proof. Add a temporary window/view that embeds each
+candidate control and launches `claude` in a known worktree.
+
+- Evaluate **SvcSystems.UI.Terminal** and **Iciclecreek.Avalonia.Terminal**.
+- Acceptance: the real `claude` TUI renders correctly — colors, resize/reflow,
+  and a live permission prompt is usable; input reaches the CLI.
+- Output: pick one library; note the control API (start with cwd/exe/args/env,
+  process-exited event, dispose/kill). Record the decision in the spec.
+- Remove the throwaway harness before Task 1 (or keep as a manual dev sample,
+  not wired into the app).
+
+**Stop for the user's visual verification of the spike before continuing.**
+
+## Task 1 — Worker: interactive launch-spec endpoint
+
+- Add a Worker service/hub method that, given a taskId, prepares the worktree
+  (session-skills seeding, agent files, MCP config, env — reuse the autonomous
+  run prep path) and returns a `LaunchSpec { cwd, exe, args, env }`.
+- Reuse `WindowsTerminalLauncher.BuildResumeCommand` for exe/args.
+- Guards mirror `ResumeTaskInTerminal` (not Running/Queued, persisted SessionId,
+  worktree Active/Kept). Never-run task → spec without `--resume` (fresh start).
+- Tests (Worker.Tests, real SQLite/git): guard cases, spec contents for a
+  resumable task, fresh-start case. No real `claude` in tests.
+
+## Task 2 — Worker: ad-hoc launch-spec
+
+- Method to build a `LaunchSpec` for a free session in a given directory:
+  MCP config + env set up, no task/session-skills seeding.
+- Tests: env/MCP presence, arbitrary cwd.
+
+## Task 3 — UI: terminal host control + view model
+
+- Wrap the chosen library in an app control/view (e.g. `InteractiveTerminalView`
+  + `InteractiveTerminalViewModel`) that starts from a `LaunchSpec` and exposes
+  running/exited state.
+- `IWorkerClient`: add methods to fetch the task and ad-hoc launch specs; wire
+  the SignalR client + hub method.
+- Update hand-rolled `IWorkerClient`/hub fakes in BOTH test projects.
+- Tests: view model starts/stops lifecycle with a fake terminal backend;
+  fake worker returns a spec.
+
+## Task 4 — Command Center: host interactive panes + entry points
+
+- `MonitorPaneView`: autonomous panes keep the streamed log; interactive panes
+  host the terminal control.
+- Entry points: "Open interactive session" from a task (task-based) and a
+  "New session" action (ad-hoc, pick directory).
+- Layout toggle: focus (tabs) ↔ overview (grid); reuse/extend the existing
+  `UniformGrid` column logic for the grid mode.
+- Tests: view-model level (pane kind selection, layout toggle state). Rendering
+  is a visual-pass item.
+
+## Task 5 — Remove the streaming interactive stack
+
+Only after Tasks 1–4 land and the terminal path works.
+
+- Worker: delete `StreamingClaudeSession`, `InteractiveSessionService`,
+  interactive `WorkerHub` methods + broadcast events, DI registrations.
+  Verify `LiveSessionRegistry` / `IdleSessionReaper` usage first; remove only if
+  unreferenced.
+- UI: remove composer bits on `TaskMonitorViewModel`, the composer/queued portion
+  of `SessionTerminalView`, `IWorkerClient` interactive methods.
+- Update fakes and delete now-dead tests. Full build + all test projects green.
+
+## Task 6 — Docs
+
+- Update `docs/open.md` with visual-verification items (spike render, terminal
+  resize/focus, grid vs tabs).
+- Update affected per-project `CLAUDE.md` (Worker interactive removal, UI new
+  terminal host).
+
+## Verification gates
+
+- After Task 0: user visual pass on the spike.
+- After Task 4: user visual pass on Command Center (task + ad-hoc, tabs + grid,
+  permission prompt round-trip).
+- Never claim the terminal UI works without the user running it.

+# Merge Helper — Implementation Plan
+
+Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-24-merge-helper-design.md`
+Approach: subagent-driven (one subagent per task, `sonnet`, TDD, stage files by path — never `git add -A`). Build with `-c Release` per-csproj (a running Worker locks `Debug`). Commit per task, Conventional Commits.
+
+---
+
+## Phase A — Worker MCP conflict tools
+
+Independently useful; merges first. All in `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/External/ExternalMcpService.cs` + tests in `tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/`.
+
+### A1 — Verify engine surface (spike, no commit)
+Read `TaskMergeService.MergeAsync` / `ContinueMergeAsync` / `AbortMergeAsync` and the hub conflict flow (`WorkerHub.StartConflictMerge`/`ContinueConflictMerge`/`AbortConflictMerge`). Pin down:
+- exact `ContinueMergeAsync` / `AbortMergeAsync` signatures and how in-progress-merge state is located (repo + target branch from task/list, not shared hub state);
+- how the childless approve path (`ApproveAndMergeAsync`) threads `leaveConflictsInTree`.
+Record findings in the task notes; feeds A2/A3.
+
+### A2 — `leaveConflictsInTree` on review_task / merge_task
+- TDD: tests in `Worker.Tests` (real git) — clean merge → Done; conflict + flag → `conflict_in_tree`, markers present, task stays `WaitingForReview`, `repoPath` returned.
+- Add optional param `leaveConflictsInTree = false` to `MergeTask` and `ReviewTask` (approve branch). When true, call the `leaveConflictsInTree:true` engine path and map the conflict result to `{ mergeStatus/merged, conflicts, repoPath }`.
+- Keep default behaviour (abort-on-conflict) byte-identical when the flag is absent/false.
+- Commit: `feat(worker): let review_task/merge_task leave conflicts in tree via MCP`
+
+### A3 — `continue_merge` + `abort_merge` MCP tools
+- TDD: continue after on-disk resolution → committed, task Done, worktree merged; continue with markers remaining → returns conflicts; abort → markers gone, task `WaitingForReview`; both on no-active-merge → clean MCP error; `TaskUpdated` fired.
+- Add `[McpServerTool] continue_merge(taskId)` → `ContinueMergeAsync`; `abort_merge(taskId)` → `AbortMergeAsync`. Locate the merge from the task's repo/target. Emit `TaskUpdated`.
+- **Route both single-task and orchestrated (parent/children) in-progress merges** where locatable from the task (per A1 findings): detect the kind and call the matching engine continue/abort (`TaskMergeService` vs `PlanningMergeOrchestrator.Continue/Abort`). If the orchestrated path can't be located without hub UI state, leave it to the manual fallback (documented in the B1 prompt) and note the gap in `docs/open.md`.
+- Commit: `feat(worker): add continue_merge and abort_merge MCP tools`
+
+---
+
+## Phase B — Worker launch for the merge-helper session
+
+### B1 — Prompt templates
+- Add `PromptKind.MergeHelper` + `PromptKind.MergeHelperInitial` to `ClaudeDo.Data/PromptFiles.cs` (file names `merge-helper-system.md` / `merge-helper-initial.md`, built-in `DefaultFor`, `Render` tokens for the initial brief).
+- System prompt encodes §7 behaviour (per-status algorithm, ask-on-uncertainty, summary format). Merge-state rule: **prefer MCP tools whenever they apply**; hand-merge (Edit + `git commit -- <paths>`) is an accepted fallback only for merges the MCP tools can't reach (§5.3), never a shortcut around them.
+- Initial brief renders a task table `{id,title,status,list,repo}` + scope label.
+- TDD: `PromptFiles` tests — kinds resolve, defaults non-empty, `Render` substitutes brief tokens.
+- Commit: `feat(data): add merge-helper prompt templates`
+
+### B2 — `BuildForMergeHelper` launch spec
+- TDD (`Worker.Tests`): distinct-repo `--add-dir` set computed from selected tasks; correct cwd per scope (per-list repo vs first repo global); brief file written to `~/.todo-app/merge-helper-sessions/<guid>/brief.md`; allowed-tools + `--permission-mode default` + `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT` env correct; single-line kickoff points at the brief.
+- Implement `InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildForMergeHelper(IReadOnlyList<string> taskIds, MergeHelperScope scope, ct)`. Reuse the planning brief-file/kickoff pattern.
+- Commit: `feat(worker): build merge-helper interactive launch spec`
+
+### B3 — Hub endpoint + client method
+- `WorkerHub.GetMergeHelperLaunchSpec(string[] taskIds, string? listId)`; `IWorkerClient.GetMergeHelperLaunchSpecAsync(...)` + `WorkerClient` impl.
+- Update hand-rolled `IWorkerClient` fakes in **both** test projects (see gotcha memory).
+- Commit: `feat(worker): expose merge-helper launch spec over the hub`
+
+---
+
+## Phase C — UI
+
+### C1 — Selection dialog (View + VM)
+- New `MergeHelperSelectionViewModel` + `MergeHelperSelectionDialog.axaml` (compiled bindings, `TaskCompletionSource<T>` pattern). Checkbox rows (title, status badge, list/repo), grouping in global mode, default ticks per §4, select-all/none, confirm disabled when empty.
+- Candidates via existing `list_tasks`/worker client; filter client-side.
+- TDD (`Ui.Tests`): default-tick logic, empty→confirm-disabled, returns ordered selected IDs + list mapping.
+- Commit: `feat(ui): add merge-helper task selection dialog`
+
+### C2 — Entry points + event plumbing
+- Per-list context-menu item **"Let Claude handle it"** in `ListsIslandView.axaml` (user-list rows) + one global entry in the footer. Bind to `LetClaudeHandleCommand` on `ListsIslandViewModel` (param = `ListNavItemViewModel` or a global sentinel).
+- VM raises `LetClaudeHandleRequested(MergeHelperScope)`; `IslandsShellViewModel` forwards to Mission Control.
+- Commit: `feat(ui): add "Let Claude handle it" entry points`
+
+### C3 — Mission Control wiring
+- `MissionControlViewModel.OpenMergeHelperConPtySessionAsync(scope)`: open selection dialog → on confirm, `GetMergeHelperLaunchSpecAsync` → wrap in `TerminalLaunchDescriptor` → new `ConPtyPaneViewModel` (never deduped) → add to `ConPtySessions`/`Panes`.
+- Commit: `feat(ui): open merge-helper ConPTY tile from selection`
+
+---
+
+## Verify (per task + at the end)
+- Read each subagent diff; build the touched csproj `-c Release`; run the relevant test project.
+- `locales/en.json` + `de.json` parity for any new UI strings (Localization.Tests enforces it).
+- Flag visual-verification gaps (dialog layout, tile) for the user — never claim UI works without a run.
+- End-to-end ConPTY smoke (real Claude) is a manual item in `docs/open.md`.

+## Commit docs first

+# Per-List Task Handler Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Make "Let Claude handle it" list-scoped only, and turn its prompt into a five-phase run — read all tasks, dedupe, enhance, queue, review+merge.
+
+**Architecture:** Four independent commits. Two touch only leaf code (the MCP status tool, the prompt templates). One strips the global UI entry point. The last is an atomic sweep that makes `listId` non-nullable end to end and collapses the launch spec to a single repo — atomic because a half-flipped signature chain leaves nullable warnings scattered across a commit boundary.
+
+**Tech Stack:** .NET 8, xUnit, Avalonia 12, EF Core + SQLite, CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-27-list-handler-design.md`
+
+**Build note:** `dotnet build ClaudeDo.slnx` needs .NET 9 — build individual csproj with `-c Release` (a running Worker locks `Debug` output).
+
+**Staging note:** the checkout is shared with parallel sessions. Always `git add -- <exact paths>` and `git commit -- <exact paths>`. Never `git add -A`, never a bare `git commit`.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: `update_task_status` accepts `Cancelled`
+
+Dedupe needs to retire an **Idle** duplicate. Today nothing can: `UpdateTaskStatus` allows only
+`Idle`/`Queued`, `cancel_task` only cancels a *running* task, and `review_task(decision="cancel")`
+requires WaitingForReview/Running/Queued. `TaskStateService.CancelAsync` already owns the
+transition and its side effects.
+
+`BatchMcpTools.BatchUpdateTaskStatus` delegates to this same method, so batch cancel comes free.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/External/ExternalMcpService.cs:264-300`
+- Test: `tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/External/ExternalMcpServiceTests.cs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**
+

+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests to verify they fail**
+
+```bash
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests.csproj -c Release \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~ExternalMcpServiceTests.UpdateTaskStatus"
+```
+
+Expected: `UpdateTaskStatus_Cancelled_CancelsAnIdleTask` FAILS with
+`Status 'Cancelled' is not settable externally.`; `UpdateTaskStatus_Done_StillRejected` passes.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the `Cancelled` branch**
+
+In `ExternalMcpService.UpdateTaskStatus`, insert between the `Queued` case and `default`:
+
+```csharp
+            case TaskStatus.Cancelled:
+                var cancelResult = await _state.CancelAsync(taskId, DateTime.UtcNow, cancellationToken);
+                if (!cancelResult.Ok)
+                    throw new InvalidOperationException(cancelResult.Reason ?? "Cannot cancel task.");
+                break;
+```
+
+Then update the `[McpServerTool, Description(...)]` text directly above the method — it currently
+claims only Idle and Queued are permitted. Replace the whole attribute with:
+
+```csharp
+    [McpServerTool, Description(
+        "Update a task's status. Only 'Idle', 'Queued' and 'Cancelled' are permitted externally — " +
+        "use run_task_now for execution control, and review_task to act on a WaitingForReview task. " +
+        "Settable: Idle (reset to editable), Queued (enqueue for execution), " +
+        "Cancelled (retire the task without deleting it; it can be reset to Idle later). " +
+        "Full lifecycle: Idle → Queued → Running → WaitingForReview → Done | Failed | Cancelled.")]
+```
+
+Also fix the `default` branch message, which still points at `cancel_task`:
+
+```csharp
+            default:
+                throw new InvalidOperationException(
+                    $"Status '{target}' is not settable externally. Use run_task_now or review_task.");
+```
+

+
+```bash
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests.csproj -c Release \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~ExternalMcpServiceTests"
+```
+
+Expected: all pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run the MCP schema test**
+
+`ExternalMcpToolSchemaTests` asserts over tool descriptions and may pin the old text.
+
+```bash
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests.csproj -c Release \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~ExternalMcpToolSchemaTests"
+```
+
+Expected: PASS. If it fails on the changed description, update the assertion to match the new
+text — do not revert the description.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add -- src/ClaudeDo.Worker/External/ExternalMcpService.cs tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/External/ExternalMcpServiceTests.cs

+- Test: `tests/ClaudeDo.Data.Tests/PromptFilesTests.cs:54-80`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**
+
+Replace the existing `DefaultFor_merge_helper_is_non_empty_and_mentions_the_merge_tools` test with
+the two below, and keep the other merge-helper tests as they are.
+
+```csharp

+        Assert.DoesNotContain("run_task_now(", d);  // single override slot — must not batch-start
+    }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests to verify they fail**
+
+```bash
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Data.Tests/ClaudeDo.Data.Tests.csproj -c Release \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~PromptFilesTests"
+```
+
+Expected: both new tests FAIL (no "Phase 0", no `batch_get_tasks`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Replace `MergeHelperDefault`**
+
+Replace the whole `private const string MergeHelperDefault = """ … """;` block with:
+
+```csharp
+    private const string MergeHelperDefault = """
+        You are the ClaudeDo list handler, running as an interactive session with the user watching. Ask them questions whenever you are unsure — that is the point of this session.
+
+        Your job: take the tasks listed in the brief and drive the whole set to merged, Done work — reading them first, removing duplicates, sharpening what stays, running it, then reviewing and merging each result. You act through the mcp__claudedo__* tools. Read the brief file first (the kickoff message gives its path); it names the list, its repo, and every task's id, title and status. All tasks belong to that one list and one repo.
+
+        Work the five phases in order. Do not start a phase before the previous one is finished.
+
+        ## Phase 0 — Read everything
+        Call batch_get_tasks with every id from the brief and read each task's title, description, status and parent/child links. Do not act on any single task before you have read them all — Phase 1 needs the whole set in view.
+
+        ## Phase 1 — Dedupe
+        Compare the tasks pairwise for overlap: same goal stated twice, one task fully contained in another, two tasks that would edit the same thing for the same reason.
+
+        Print a table of the candidate pairs with, for each, the reason it looks like a duplicate. Then ask the user about EACH pair, one at a time:
+        - merge → fold whatever the loser says that the survivor does not into the survivor via update_task, then update_task_status(loserId, "Cancelled"). Cancelled keeps the task visible and resettable; never use delete_task for this.
+        - keep both → note why and move on.
+
+        Cancel nothing without an explicit answer. If there are no duplicates, say so and go on.
+
+        ## Phase 2 — Enhance for execution
+        Each surviving task is about to be run by an autonomous agent with no further input. Sharpen it so that run can succeed. For each task, rewrite title and description to carry:
+        - concrete acceptance criteria — what must be true when it is done,
+        - the files and areas actually involved, found with Read/Grep/Glob in the repo. Do not guess paths; look them up.
+        - what is explicitly out of scope.
+
+        Write it back with update_task (title, description and commitType are the settable fields).
+
+        Rules: do not change what the user asked for, and do not invent requirements. You are making the existing intent precise, not adding to it. If a task is too vague to sharpen without guessing, ASK instead of guessing. Report a short before/after per task.
+
+        ## Phase 3 — Run
+        Do NOT use run_task_now for a batch — there is a single override slot and the second call fails with "override slot busy".
+
+        Read get_app_settings and tell the user how many parallel execution slots are configured (maxParallelExecutions). If it is 1, say plainly that the tasks will execute one after another and that the value is changeable in ClaudeDo's settings.
+
+        Then, for each surviving task:
+        - Idle or Failed → update_task_status(id, "Queued"). For a Failed task ask first whether to reset_failed_task and re-queue it, or skip it.
+        - Queued → leave it; it is already waiting for a slot.
+        - Running or WaitingForChildren → leave it; only poll.
+        - WaitingForReview → leave it; it goes straight to Phase 4.
+
+        Poll get_task until every task has left Queued and Running — WaitingForReview on success, Failed on error. Report progress as tasks land; do not poll silently for minutes.
+
+        ## Phase 4 — Review and merge
+        One task at a time, in the order the brief lists them.
+
+        1. Inspect the change with get_task_diff (stat first, then the full diff if it is non-trivial) and sanity-check it against the task's title and description.
+        2. If the change looks wrong, incomplete, or risky, STOP and ask the user before merging — offer reject_rerun (with feedback) or skip.
+        3. Otherwise merge with review_task(taskId, decision="approve", leaveConflictsInTree=true).
+           - Clean merge → the task is Done; move on.
+           - Conflict (markers left in the working tree, repoPath returned) → resolve it.
+
+        Every branch in this run forked from the same base, so conflicts between them are the NORMAL case, not a failure. Resolve them and keep going; do not abandon the run because a merge conflicted.
+
+        Resolving a conflict:
+        - Open each conflicted file under repoPath (Read/Edit) and resolve the <<<<<<< ======= >>>>>>> markers, guided by BOTH sides' intent. Then call continue_merge(taskId). If markers remain it tells you — fix and call again. Use abort_merge(taskId) to cancel a merge you cannot safely resolve.
+        - For a task WITH children (a unit merge), pass the PARENT task id to continue_merge / abort_merge.
+        - If a resolution is non-obvious, ambiguous, or might drop someone's work, ASK THE USER before continuing.
+        - Prefer the MCP tools whenever they apply. Only if the MCP tools cannot reach an in-progress merge may you finish it by hand: resolve the markers, then `git add -- <the resolved paths>` and `git commit` — NEVER `git add -A` or a bare commit, because the checkout is shared with other sessions.
+
+        Rules for the whole session:
+        - Never use raw `git merge`, `git reset`, or `git checkout` to force a merge. Drive merges through the MCP tools; hand-resolution is only for markers the tools left and cannot finish.
+        - Ask the user for anything ambiguous, risky, or destructive.
+
+        ## Phase 5 — Summary
+        Print one line per task from the original brief:
+        title — dedupe action (kept / merged into X / cancelled as duplicate of X) — enhanced (yes/no) — final status — merge commit (if any) — conflicts resolved (if any).
+
+        Then list anything you skipped or left for the user and why, and any follow-ups worth turning into new tasks.
+        """;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Replace `MergeHelperInitialDefault`**
+
+The scope is now always one list with one repo, so the header states it once and the task lines
+drop the constant `list:` / `repo:` fields.
+
+```csharp
+    private const string MergeHelperInitialDefault = """
+        # List handler brief
+
+        Scope: {scope}
+        Repo: {repo}
+
+        Handle the following tasks. Work Phases 0–5 as your instructions describe, asking me whenever you are unsure.
+
+        {tasks}
+
+        When every task is handled, print the summary.
+        """;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add the `{repo}` token test**
+
+`{repo}` is a new token — Task 4 will pass it. Add to `PromptFilesTests`:
+
+```csharp
+    [Fact]
+    public void DefaultFor_merge_helper_initial_has_repo_token()
+    {
+        var d = PromptFiles.DefaultFor(PromptKind.MergeHelperInitial);
+        Assert.Contains("{repo}", d);
+    }
+```
+
+The existing `RenderTemplate_merge_helper_initial_substitutes_scope_and_tasks` test passes only
+`scope` and `tasks`. `RenderTemplate` leaves unknown tokens alone, so its two `Assert.Contains`
+still hold and its `Assert.DoesNotContain("{scope}", outp)` still holds. Leave it unchanged.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run the tests to verify they pass**
+
+```bash
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Data.Tests/ClaudeDo.Data.Tests.csproj -c Release \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~PromptFilesTests"
+```
+
+Expected: all pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add -- src/ClaudeDo.Data/PromptFiles.cs tests/ClaudeDo.Data.Tests/PromptFilesTests.cs
+git commit -m "feat(data): five-phase list-handler prompt with dedupe and enhance" -- src/ClaudeDo.Data/PromptFiles.cs tests/ClaudeDo.Data.Tests/PromptFilesTests.cs
+```
+

+
+### Task 3: Drop the global entry point and the LIST column
+
+This removes every caller that passes a null `listId`, clearing the way for Task 4's signature
+sweep. Types stay nullable here; only callers and UI go.

+- [ ] **Step 1: Update the dialog tests to the list-only API**
+
+`Configure` becomes `Configure(string listId, string listName)` and `IsGlobal` and `ListName` are
+gone. Rewrite the affected tests. `Load_ExcludesTerminalStatuses_AndTicksActionableByDefault`,
+`CanConfirm_FollowsRowSelection` and `Confirm_ReturnsSelectedIds_InRowOrder` all used
+`Configure(null, null)` to see every seeded task — point them at `"L1"` instead, which holds all
+eight seeded statuses (`t-other-list` lives in `L2` and drops out).
+
+Replace the four tests below; leave `Load_NoCandidates_HasTasksFalse_CannotConfirm` untouched.
+

+        Assert.Equal(new[] { "t-idle", "t-review" }, result);
+        Assert.True(closed);
+    }
+```
+
+Also change `Cancel_ReturnsNull`'s `vm.Configure(null, null);` to `vm.Configure("L1", "Work");`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests to verify they fail**
+
+```bash
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests.csproj -c Release \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~MergeHelperSelectionModalViewModelTests"
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL — the project does not compile, because `Configure(string, string)` does not exist
+yet and `IsGlobal` was removed from an assertion that still compiles against it. Compilation
+failure is the expected "red" here.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Make the dialog VM list-only**
+
+In `MergeHelperSelectionModalViewModel.cs`:
+
+Remove the `ListName` property from `MergeHelperTaskRowViewModel`:
+
+```csharp
+public sealed partial class MergeHelperTaskRowViewModel : ViewModelBase
+{
+    public required string Id { get; init; }
+    public required string Title { get; init; }
+    public required string StatusText { get; init; }
+
+    [ObservableProperty] private bool _isSelected;
+}
+```
+
+Change the field to non-nullable, drop `IsGlobal`, and make `Configure` list-only:
+
+```csharp
+    private string _listId = "";
+```
+
+```csharp
+    [ObservableProperty] private string _scopeLabel = "";
+
+    public bool HasTasks => Tasks.Count > 0;
+```
+
+```csharp
+    public void Configure(string listId, string listName)
+    {
+        _listId = listId;
+        ScopeLabel = Loc.T("modals.mergeHelper.scopeList", listName);
+    }
+```
+
+In `LoadAsync`, the list filter is now unconditional and `ListName` is no longer selected:
+
+```csharp
+        await using var ctx = await _dbFactory.CreateDbContextAsync(ct);
+        var candidates = await ctx.Tasks.AsNoTracking()
+            .Where(t => t.Status != TaskStatus.Done && t.Status != TaskStatus.Cancelled)
+            .Where(t => t.ListId == _listId)
+            .OrderBy(t => t.SortOrder).ThenBy(t => t.CreatedAt)
+            .Select(t => new { t.Id, t.Title, t.Status })
+            .ToListAsync(ct);
+
+        foreach (var c in candidates)
+        {
+            var row = new MergeHelperTaskRowViewModel
+            {
+                Id = c.Id,
+                Title = c.Title,
+                StatusText = c.Status.ToString(),
+                IsSelected = IsTickedByDefault(c.Status),
+            };
+            row.PropertyChanged += OnRowChanged;
+            Tasks.Add(row);
+        }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Drop the LIST column from the dialog view**
+
+In `MergeHelperSelectionModal.axaml`, change both `ColumnDefinitions="32,*,120,120"` (lines 41 and
+57) to `ColumnDefinitions="32,*,120"`, and delete the two `Grid.Column="3"` elements — the header
+`TextBlock` bound to `modals.mergeHelper.columnList` (lines 45-46) and the row `TextBlock` bound to
+`ListName` (lines 68-71).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Remove the global command and the Broom button**
+
+In `ListsIslandViewModel.cs`, delete the whole `LetClaudeHandleAllAsync` method including its
+`[RelayCommand]` attribute (lines 103-113). Leave `LetClaudeHandleListAsync` and the
+`MergeHelperRequest` record as they are — Task 4 changes those.
+
+In `ListsIslandView.axaml`, revert the button row to two columns:
+
+```xml
+        <!-- New list + import row -->
+        <Grid ColumnDefinitions="*,Auto" Margin="0,4,0,0">

+
+and delete the whole `<Button Grid.Column="2" … LetClaudeHandleAllCommand … />` element
+(lines 206-210) including its `<PathIcon>` child.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Remove the three dead localization keys**
+
+Delete from **both** `src/ClaudeDo.Localization/locales/en.json` and
+`src/ClaudeDo.Localization/locales/de.json`:
+
+- `lists.letClaudeAllTip` (and the trailing comma on the preceding key, so the object stays valid JSON)
+- `modals.mergeHelper.scopeAll`
+- `modals.mergeHelper.columnList` (and the trailing comma on the preceding key)
+
+Keep `lists.contextLetClaude` and `modals.mergeHelper.scopeList`.

+- [ ] **Step 7: Build and run the tests**
+
+```bash
+dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.App/ClaudeDo.App.csproj -c Release
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests.csproj -c Release
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Localization.Tests/ClaudeDo.Localization.Tests.csproj -c Release

+
+Expected: build succeeds, all tests pass. The localization parity test is the one that catches a
+key removed from only one of the two JSON files.

+### Task 4: Non-nullable `listId` and a single-repo launch spec
+
+One atomic commit across Worker and Ui. Splitting it would leave one side passing `string?` into a
+`string` parameter — nullable warnings strewn across a commit boundary, and a launch spec that
+still carries a dead multi-repo path.

+```
+
+Expected: FAIL. `BuildForMergeHelperAsync_UnknownList_Throws` fails because the current code
+resolves the repo from the tasks and never validates the list; the brief test fails on the missing
+`Repo:` line.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Rewrite `BuildForMergeHelperAsync`**
+
+Replace the method body (`InteractiveLaunchSpecService.cs:166-253`) with:
+
+```csharp
+    public async Task<LaunchSpec> BuildForMergeHelperAsync(IReadOnlyList<string> taskIds, string listId, CancellationToken ct)

+        var systemPromptPath = Path.Combine(sessionDir, "system-prompt.md");
+        await File.WriteAllTextAsync(systemPromptPath, PromptFiles.ReadOrDefault(PromptKind.MergeHelper), ct);
+
+        var briefPath = Path.Combine(sessionDir, "brief.md");

+            new Dictionary<string, string>
+            {
+                ["scope"] = $"List: {list.Name}",
+                ["repo"] = repoDir,
+                ["tasks"] = string.Join("\n", briefLines),
+            }), ct);
+
+        var resolvedClaude = WindowsTerminalLauncher.Resolve(_claudePath)
+            ?? throw new InvalidOperationException($"claude executable not found: {_claudePath}");
+
+        // Mirrors WindowsTerminalLauncher.BuildPlanningStartArgs ordering: variadic flags
+        // (--allowedTools, --add-dir) first, then a single-value flag, then the single-line
+        // positional kickoff LAST — a multi-line positional prompt truncates at the first
+        // newline, so the full multi-line brief travels via the file exposed through --add-dir.
+        var args = new List<string>

+
+        return new LaunchSpec(cwd: repoDir, resolvedClaude, args, env);
+    }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Flip the interface and hub signatures**
+
+`src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Runner/Interfaces/IInteractiveLaunchSpecService.cs:36`:
+
+```csharp
+    Task<LaunchSpec> BuildForMergeHelperAsync(IReadOnlyList<string> taskIds, string listId, CancellationToken ct);
+```
+
+`src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Hub/WorkerHub.cs:682`:
+
+```csharp
+    public Task<LaunchSpec> GetMergeHelperLaunchSpec(string[] taskIds, string listId) => HubGuard(() =>
+```
+
+(leave the method body as it is).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run the Worker tests**
+
+```bash
+dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.Worker/ClaudeDo.Worker.csproj -c Release
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests.csproj -c Release \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~InteractiveLaunchSpecServiceTests"
+```
+
+Expected: build succeeds, all pass. `TasksIslandViewModelPlanningTests.cs:78` holds a fake
+implementing `IWorkerClient` — its signature is flipped in Step 7; if the Worker.Tests build fails
+there, do Step 7 first and re-run.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Update the Mission Control tests**
+
+In `MissionControlViewModelTests.cs`, the four `OpenMergeHelperConPtySessionAsync` calls pass
+`null` as the list id. Replace `null` with `"L1"` on lines 421, 435, 436 and 461, and change the
+`ThrowingMergeHelperLaunchSpecWorker` override signature at line 411 to:
+
+```csharp
+        public override Task<LaunchSpec> GetMergeHelperLaunchSpecAsync(IReadOnlyList<string> taskIds, string listId, CancellationToken ct = default)
+```
+
+The list-title lookup in `OpenMergeHelperConPtySessionAsync` is wrapped in a `try/catch` and falls
+back to the plain title, so an unseeded `"L1"` is harmless.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Flip the UI signatures**
+
+`src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Services/Interfaces/IWorkerClient.cs:90`:
+
+```csharp
+    Task<LaunchSpec> GetMergeHelperLaunchSpecAsync(IReadOnlyList<string> taskIds, string listId, CancellationToken ct = default);
+```
+
+`src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Services/WorkerClient.cs:525`:
+
+```csharp
+    public async Task<LaunchSpec> GetMergeHelperLaunchSpecAsync(IReadOnlyList<string> taskIds, string listId, CancellationToken ct = default)
+        => await _hub.InvokeAsync<LaunchSpec>("GetMergeHelperLaunchSpec", taskIds, listId, ct);
+```
+
+`tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/StubWorkerClient.cs:103` and
+`tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/UiVm/TasksIslandViewModelPlanningTests.cs:78` — same parameter change
+(`string? listId` → `string listId`), bodies unchanged.
+
+`src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Islands/ListsIslandViewModel.cs:20`:
+
+```csharp
+/// <summary>Confirmed handler run: the scope list and the ordered selected task ids.</summary>
+public sealed record MergeHelperRequest(string ListId, IReadOnlyList<string> TaskIds);
+```
+
+`src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/MissionControlViewModel.cs:325-341` — the `listId is not null` guard is
+now dead:
+
+```csharp
+    // List-handler session over a hand-picked set of tasks ("Let Claude handle it").
+    // Ad-hoc style: no owning task, never deduped — every run opens a fresh pane.
+    public async System.Threading.Tasks.Task OpenMergeHelperConPtySessionAsync(string listId, IReadOnlyList<string> taskIds)
+    {
+        if (taskIds is not { Count: > 0 }) return;
+
+        var title = Loc.T("missionControl.mergeHelperTitle");
+        try
+        {
+            await using var ctx = await _dbFactory.CreateDbContextAsync();
+            var list = await ctx.Lists.AsNoTracking().FirstOrDefaultAsync(l => l.Id == listId);
+            if (list?.Name is { Length: > 0 } name) title = $"{title} — {name}";
+        }
+        catch { /* best-effort title lookup */ }
+```
+
+Leave the rest of the method (the `try` block that fetches the spec and adds the pane) unchanged.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Build everything and run the full suite**
+
+```bash
+dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.App/ClaudeDo.App.csproj -c Release
+dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.Worker/ClaudeDo.Worker.csproj -c Release
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests.csproj -c Release

+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Data.Tests/ClaudeDo.Data.Tests.csproj -c Release
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Localization.Tests/ClaudeDo.Localization.Tests.csproj -c Release
+```
+
+Expected: both builds succeed with no `CS8600`/`CS8604` nullability warnings on the touched files,
+and every test passes.
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add -- src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Runner/InteractiveLaunchSpecService.cs src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Runner/Interfaces/IInteractiveLaunchSpecService.cs src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Hub/WorkerHub.cs src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Services/Interfaces/IWorkerClient.cs src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Services/WorkerClient.cs src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/MissionControlViewModel.cs src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Islands/ListsIslandViewModel.cs tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/StubWorkerClient.cs tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/ViewModels/MissionControlViewModelTests.cs tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/UiVm/TasksIslandViewModelPlanningTests.cs tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/Runner/InteractiveLaunchSpecServiceTests.cs

+### Task 5: Update the project docs
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md`
+- Modify: `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/CLAUDE.md`
+- Modify: `docs/open.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Check what the CLAUDE.md files claim**
+
+```bash
+grep -n "merge.helper\|Let Claude handle\|MergeHelper" src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md src/ClaudeDo.Worker/CLAUDE.md docs/open.md
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Correct any stale claim**
+
+Where those files describe the merge helper as having a global scope, or describe the prompt as
+run-and-merge only, update them to: list-scoped only, single repo, five phases (read, dedupe,
+enhance, queue, review+merge). Note in `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/CLAUDE.md` that
+`update_task_status` now also accepts `Cancelled`. Do not restructure the files beyond that.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the open verification items**
+
+Append to the open-items section of `docs/open.md`:
+
+```markdown
+- **List handler (2026-07-27)** — visual pass: the Broom button is gone from the lists footer,
+  the context-menu item appears only on lists with a working dir, and the selection dialog has no
+  LIST column. Plus a real-Claude smoke run of the five phases (dedupe questions, enhancements
+  landing in task descriptions, queued execution, merges).
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add -- src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md src/ClaudeDo.Worker/CLAUDE.md docs/open.md
+git commit -m "docs: describe the list-scoped five-phase handler" -- src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md src/ClaudeDo.Worker/CLAUDE.md docs/open.md
+```
+
+---
+
+## Verification left to the user
+
+None of this can be confirmed from tests alone:
+
+- The lists footer no longer shows the Broom button, and the row context menu still offers
+  "Let Claude handle it" for lists with a working dir.
+- The selection dialog shows TASK and STATUS only, and the scope line reads `List: <name>`.
+- A real ConPTY run: Phase 1 asks about duplicates, Phase 2's enhancements are visible in the task
+  descriptions afterwards, Phase 3 reports the slot count and the tasks execute, Phase 4 merges or
+  hands off to conflict resolution.

+# Session Skills — Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-03
+**Status:** Approved (design), implementation not started
+
+## Problem
+
+Mika wants to give headless task agents a specific Claude skill (e.g.
+[ponytail](https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail)) **without** installing it
+globally in `~/.claude/skills/`, where it would leak into every interactive session.
+Skills should be a first-class, per-level session setting alongside `model`,
+`max_turns`, and `system_prompt` — configurable **global / per-list / per-task** — and
+sourced from a GitHub URL.
+
+## Key facts that shape the design
+
+- The Claude CLI discovers skills from two places: the **global** `~/.claude/skills/`
+  (every session — undesirable here) and the **working directory's** `.claude/skills/`
+  (plus plugins). ClaudeDo fully controls each spawned session's `WorkingDirectory`
+  (`ClaudeProcess.cs:30`), so a skill dropped into the session cwd is scoped to exactly
+  that headless run.
+- **Auto-commit uses `git add -A`** (`WorktreeManager.CommitIfChangedAsync` →
+  `_git.AddAllAsync`, `WorktreeManager.cs:142`). Anything seeded into a worktree's
+  `.claude/skills/` would be committed unless explicitly excluded → the seeder must add
+  the seeded paths to the worktree's `info/exclude`.
+- A skill is not just prompt text: `SKILL.md` may reference scripts that run via Bash.
+  Headless agents run with `--permission-mode auto` (effectively unattended), so a skill
+  pulled from an arbitrary URL is **unattended third-party code execution**. This is why
+  install is a deliberate, pinned, reviewable step — not a live per-run URL fetch.
+
+## Decisions (locked)
+
+1. **Install-and-pin, not live fetch.** A dedicated registry screen installs a skill
+   once: clone the repo, pin to the current commit, store locally. Per-level config then
+   references installed skills **by name** (checkboxes), never a URL.
+2. **Three levels, additive union.** Effective skill set = `global ∪ list ∪ task`.
+   (Unlike `model`/`prompt`, which override — skills add up. Trade-off accepted: an
+   inherited skill can't be switched off for a single task in the MVP.)
+3. **A repo can contribute multiple skills.** Installer detects the layout:
+   - `skills/*/SKILL.md` (plugin bundle) → import **each** subskill flat. This is
+     ponytail: it ships 6 skills (`ponytail`, `-help`, `-review`, `-audit`, `-debt`,
+     `-gain`) under `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` plus `.claude-plugin/`, hooks, commands, an
+     MCP — none of which we consume; we take only the `skills/<name>/` dirs.
+   - root `SKILL.md` → single skill.
+   - neither → reject.
+   The CLI expects `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` **flat**, so subskills are flattened
+   on install. Selection is **per individual skill name** (enable just `ponytail` +
+   `ponytail-help` if you want, not all six).
+4. **Public repos only** (plain `git clone` over HTTPS, no auth) for MVP.
+
+> **Correction (2026-07-03, from the smoke test):** the original "one repo = one skill
+> at root" MVP was wrong for the very target repo — ponytail is a multi-skill plugin.
+> Decision 3 above replaces it.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Storage & registry
+
+- Each discovered skill is copied **flat** to `~/.todo-app/session-skills/<name>/` (its
+  own self-contained dir with `SKILL.md` at the root of that dir), so the seeder just
+  copies `<name>/` → cwd.
+- New DB table `session_skills`, one row **per skill** (a multi-skill repo writes N rows
+  sharing `source_url` + `pinned_ref`): `name` (PK), `source_url`, `pinned_ref` (commit
+  SHA), `subpath` (dir within the repo the skill came from, e.g. `skills/ponytail` or
+  `.` for root), `description`, `added_at`. Repo-level ops act on all rows with the same
+  `source_url` (no separate sources table — keep it flat).
+- New worker service `SessionSkillRegistry` (in a new `Skills/` area under the Worker):
+  - `InstallAsync(url)` — clone to temp → **detect layout** (`skills/*/SKILL.md` bundle
+    vs root `SKILL.md`) → for each discovered skill parse frontmatter (`name`,
+    `description`), resolve HEAD SHA as `pinned_ref`, copy its dir flat into place, upsert
+    a row. Returns the list of installed skill names. Name collision (a skill name from a
+    *different* source) → error surfaced to UI; reinstalling the same source updates.
+    Clone is injected (`IRepoCloner`) so tests use a local source dir — **no real network,
+    no real CLI**.
+  - `UpdateAsync(sourceUrl)` — re-clone, re-detect, refresh that source's skills +
+    `pinned_ref`.
+  - `RemoveAsync(sourceUrl)` — delete all its skill dirs + rows.
+  - `ListAsync()` — registry entries for the UI (grouped by source for display).
+
+### Resolution
+
+`TaskRunner.ResolveConfigAsync` (`TaskRunner.cs:488`) already merges
+task → list → global for the other fields. Add:
+
+```
+SkillNames = Union(task.SessionSkills, listConfig?.SessionSkills, global.SessionSkills)
+```
+
+deduped, filtered to names that still exist in the registry (a removed skill is silently
+dropped — logged). Add `IReadOnlyList<string> SkillNames` to `ClaudeRunConfig`
+(`ClaudeArgsBuilder.cs:5`). **No CLI flag is emitted** — skills are seeded on disk, not
+passed as args. `ClaudeArgsBuilder.Build` is unchanged for skills.
+
+Per-level storage: a nullable TEXT column `session_skills` (JSON array of names) on
+`tasks`, `list_config`, and `app_settings`.
+
+### Seeding
+
+New service `SessionSkillSeeder`, called by `TaskRunner` after the working dir is
+resolved and before `ClaudeProcess.RunAsync`:
+
+- For each resolved skill name, copy `~/.todo-app/session-skills/<name>/` →
+  `<cwd>/.claude/skills/<name>/` (overwrite → idempotent for resume/re-run).
+- If the cwd is a git worktree, append `/.claude/skills/<name>/` to the worktree's
+  `info/exclude` (path via `git rev-parse --git-path info/exclude`, so it targets the
+  per-worktree exclude), only if not already present. **Only the seeded subdirs are
+  excluded** — never blanket-exclude `/.claude/`, in case the target project commits its
+  own `.claude/`.
+- Sandbox runs (not a repo) skip the exclude step.
+- No separate cleanup: seeded dirs vanish with the worktree/sandbox.
+
+### allowedTools caveat
+
+`--allowedTools` is only emitted when set (`ClaudeArgsBuilder.cs:80`); normal task runs
+leave it null → all tools allowed → the `Skill` tool is available. If a future per-task
+allowedTools restriction is added, it must include `Skill`. Noted, not handled in MVP.
+
+## UI
+
+Mirror the existing agent-file pattern.
+
+- **Registry screen ("extra mask"):** a new **Skills** tab in the Settings modal
+  (`SettingsModalView.axaml`) with `SessionSkillsSettingsTabViewModel`. **Add** (URL text
+  box → install a repo, which may yield several skills); lists installed skills grouped by
+  source (name, description, source, short ref); **Update** / **Remove** act per source
+  (repo). Status/error line like `FilesSettingsTabViewModel`.
+- **Global selector:** multi-select (checkbox list) of installed skills in the General
+  settings tab → `AppSettings.SessionSkills`.
+- **List + Task selectors:** add a skills multi-select to the shared
+  `AgentConfigEditor` control (`AgentConfigEditor.axaml` /
+  `AgentConfigEditorViewModel.cs`), which is already reused by both List settings and the
+  per-task flyout — one addition covers both levels, with the existing inheritance-badge
+  pattern.
+
+### Hub / client surface
+
+New `WorkerHub` methods + `IWorkerClient` entries (update hand-rolled fakes in both test
+projects — see memory `iworkerclient_fakes_sync`):
+`GetSessionSkills`, `InstallSessionSkill(url)`, `UpdateSessionSkill(sourceUrl)`,
+`RemoveSessionSkill(sourceUrl)`. Extend `AppSettingsDto`, `ListConfigDto`,
+`UpdateListConfigDto`, `UpdateTaskAgentSettingsDto` with the selected skill-name lists.
+New `SessionSkillDto`.
+
+## Edge cases
+
+- **Removed skill still referenced** by a level → dropped at resolve time, logged, no
+  failure.
+- **Name collision on install** → reject with a clear message; offer Update instead.
+- **Repo without root `SKILL.md`** → reject at install.
+- **Target project already has `.claude/skills/`** → additive copy; exclude only our
+  subdirs.
+- **Resume / re-run** reuses the worktree → re-seed overwrites, exclude append is
+  idempotent.
+
+## Verification (must-check, can't be unit-tested)
+
+- **Does `claude -p` actually load and invoke a skill placed in cwd `.claude/skills/`?**
+  **CONFIRMED 2026-07-03.** Mika ran, in a stable terminal, a `claude -p` invocation in a
+  scratch cwd holding `.claude/skills/ponytail*/SKILL.md`; the model invoked the
+  `ponytail-help` skill and returned its exact Lite/Full/Ultra table. Headless mode does
+  surface cwd skills → the whole approach holds; no `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` fallback needed.
+- Seeded skill is **not** committed by the auto-commit step (worktree run).
+- Skill does not appear in a normal interactive session (no global leak).
+
+## Out of scope (MVP)
+
+Private-repo auth; consuming a plugin's *non-skill* parts (hooks, commands, MCP — we take
+only `skills/<name>/`); auto-update & update notifications; per-task *disabling* of an
+inherited skill; surfacing skill invocation in the run log.

+# ConPTY Interactive Sessions — Design
+
+Date: 2026-07-23
+Status: Approved (design), implementation not started
+
+## Problem
+
+The current in-app interactive session path streams `stream-json` from a
+`claude` process spawned **in the Worker** and renders it as a chat log with a
+composer. It does not surface permission requests, AskUser questions, and other
+TUI-native interactions well — the rendering is a partial reimplementation of
+what the real Claude Code TUI already does. We want full fidelity for
+interactive work without rebuilding the TUI.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Hybrid execution model:**
+
+- **Autonomous queue tasks** (`Status=Queued`, picked by the queue): unchanged.
+  Headless `stream-json`, full orchestration (status flow, diff, review, merge).
+- **Interactive sessions**: an **embedded ConPTY terminal** running the real
+  `claude` CLI, rendered in the **UI process**. Full TUI fidelity (permission
+  prompts, questions, colors, everything the standalone CLI does). Detached from
+  the review/merge/status machinery — these are a manual cockpit.
+
+This is the third direction for interactive (external `wt` terminal → streaming
+chat → embedded ConPTY). The streaming interactive stack is **removed**, not run
+in parallel — accepted as discarded work in exchange for one interactive path
+and full fidelity.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Process location
+
+ConPTY terminal controls render in-process and spawn their child (`claude`) as a
+child of the host process. Therefore interactive sessions move **out of the
+Worker and into the UI process**. They no longer flow over SignalR. This mirrors
+the existing `ResumeTaskInTerminal` behavior (launch real `claude`), but embedded
+instead of via external `wt.exe`.
+
+### Worktree preparation (task-based sessions)
+
+Interactive task sessions get the **same worktree preparation as autonomous
+runs**: session-skills seeding, agent files, MCP config, environment. The Worker
+performs the prep and returns a launch spec to the UI:
+
+```
+LaunchSpec {
+  cwd:  string   // worktree path
+  exe:  string   // resolved claude executable / shell
+  args: string[] // e.g. --resume <sessionId>
+  env:  Dictionary<string,string>
+}
+```
+
+The command construction reuses `WindowsTerminalLauncher.BuildResumeArgs`/`Resolve`.
+Guards mirror `ResumeTaskInTerminal` for Running/Queued (rejected). Worktree
+handling (FINAL):
+- Existing Active/Kept worktree + persisted SessionId → `--resume <id>`.
+- No usable worktree but the list has a WorkingDir (git repo) → create a worktree
+  **on demand** via `WorktreeManager.CreateAsync` (the same path autonomous runs
+  use), then a fresh-start spec. This lets never-run tasks be opened interactively.
+- Fresh (non-resume) session → the task's prompt (title + description) is passed
+  as claude's positional prompt so the session starts on the task.
+- No worktree and no WorkingDir → clear error.
+Interactive sessions are detached: ClaudeDo does NOT record their claude session
+id (ConPTY is opaque, no stream-json), so resuming a specific past interactive
+conversation is only via claude's own `--continue`/`--resume` in the worktree dir.
+
+### Free / ad-hoc sessions
+
+In addition to task-based sessions, the user can open an ad-hoc terminal in a
+chosen directory (no task). These also get MCP config + env set up so the
+`claudedo` tools are available, but no per-level session-skills seeding tied to a
+task.
+
+### Terminal host control — RESOLVED by spike (2026-07-23)
+
+**Library: `Iciclecreek.Avalonia.Terminal` 2.0.3** (namespace `Iciclecreek.Terminal`).
+It needs Avalonia >= 12.0.2; the repo is on 12.0.4 → compatible, no bump.
+`SvcSystems.UI.Terminal` (latest) needs Avalonia 12.1+ → rejected.
+
+Visual pass (user, 2026-07-23): the real `claude` TUI renders correctly inside
+the embedded control — Claude Code opened and was usable.
+
+**Binding approach — use the library's own `LaunchProcess()` (FINAL).**
+An initial attempt drove `Porta.Pty` ourselves (own read loop, key tunneling via
+`GenerateKeyInput`/`GenerateCharInput`, manual resize) to bypass
+`LaunchProcess()` and inject a custom `PtyOptions.Environment`. That was a
+mistake: it rendered wrong, lagged, and dropped input. The spike had proven the
+library's own `TerminalControl.LaunchProcess()` pipeline renders correctly, stays
+responsive, and handles input/resize/focus. So `PtyTerminalSession` is a thin
+wrapper (`src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Services/PtyTerminalSession.cs`):
+
+- Set `control.Process = descriptor.Exe`, `control.Args = descriptor.Args`,
+  `control.StartingDirectory = descriptor.Cwd`, then `await control.LaunchProcess()`.
+- Relay the control's own `ProcessExited` event and `Kill()`.
+- `Process=""` stays on the AXAML `TerminalControl` to suppress the library's
+  auto-launch-on-load, so exactly one process starts (our manual launch).
+
+**Environment:** `LaunchProcess()` gives no per-launch env dict, but
+`Porta.Pty.SpawnAsync` inherits the *current process* environment. So apply
+`descriptor.Env` entries via `Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable(key, value)`
+(process scope) before `LaunchProcess()`. The only var needed is
+`MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT`; session-skills/agent-files/MCP-config are on disk / globally
+registered, independent of env. (The earlier "child gets zero env vars" claim was
+wrong — Porta.Pty seeds from the process env.)
+
+**Sizing gotcha (critical):** the control derives Cols/Rows from
+`arranged-size / character-cell-size`. Without an EXPLICIT monospace font the cell
+metrics are wrong and the child TUI renders into the wrong area. Set
+`FontFamily="Cascadia Mono,Consolas,monospace"`, `FontSize`, `BufferSize`, and
+`HorizontalAlignment/VerticalAlignment=Stretch` on the `TerminalControl` (matching
+the spike) — this is what made rendering correct in the pane.
+
+**Lesson:** do not hand-roll pty/input/render around this control — use its
+`LaunchProcess()` pipeline.
+
+### Command Center layout
+
+- `MonitorPaneView` keeps the streamed log for autonomous tasks.
+- Interactive panes host the terminal control instead of the log+composer.
+- Layout is **toggleable**: focus mode (tabs, one session large) ↔ overview mode
+  (grid, several sessions at once).
+
+## Removals
+
+Worker:
+- `StreamingClaudeSession`, `InteractiveSessionService`
+- `WorkerHub` interactive methods: `OpenInteractiveTerminal`,
+  `SendInteractiveMessage`, `RemoveQueuedInteractiveMessage`,
+  `StopInteractiveSession`, `InterruptInteractiveSession`
+- Broadcast events: `InteractiveSessionStarted/Ended`, `InteractiveQueueChanged`,
+  `InteractiveMessageSent`
+- `IdleSessionReaper` and `LiveSessionRegistry` **iff** unused elsewhere
+  (verify during implementation — do not delete blindly).
+
+UI:
+- Composer on `TaskMonitorViewModel`: `ComposerDraft`, `SubmitComposerCommand`,
+  `InterruptInteractiveCommand`, `StopInteractiveCommand`, `QueuedMessages`,
+  `IsInteractiveLive`.
+- The composer + queued-messages portion of `SessionTerminalView` (the log
+  portion stays for autonomous panes).
+- `IWorkerClient` interactive methods.
+
+## Open items (implementation time)
+
+- Whether `LiveSessionRegistry` is referenced outside the interactive path.
+- Session-id availability for a never-run task (no `--resume` → start fresh).
+
+Resolved: env approach (see Terminal host control — add custom vars on top of the
+inherited process env via `PtyOptions.Environment`); library + binding seam.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No screen-scraping of terminal output back into task status/diff/review.
+- No change to the autonomous queue execution path.
+
+## Status (2026-07-23)
+
+Implemented on main (not pushed) and visually verified by the user (rendering,
+input, responsiveness correct after switching to `LaunchProcess()` + setting a
+monospace font). Done: worker launch-spec (task + ad-hoc, on-demand worktree,
+prompt seeding), UI terminal host, Command Center hosting (grid↔tabs), streaming
+stack removed. Permission mode: left to claude's default (not forced), per user.
+
+Deferred: **Avalonia 12.1 upgrade** — blocked, not adopted. 12.1's XAML source
+generator needs Roslyn 4.14 (.NET 9.0.3xx SDK); the repo pins .NET 8 in
+`global.json`, and bumping the SDK floor risks the Gitea Actions release build.
+Staying on Avalonia 12.0.x (Iciclecreek 2.0.3 works there). Revisit only with a
+deliberate SDK-floor decision.

+# ConPTY Planning Sessions — Design (2026-07-24)
+
+**Task:** `5d627df8` — interaktive Planning-Session über embedded ConPTY statt externem `wt`-Fenster.
+
+## Problem
+Planning-Sessions (`StartPlanningSession`/`ResumePlanningSession`) öffnen heute ein externes
+Windows-Terminal (`WindowsTerminalLauncher` → `wt.exe`). Seit ConPTY existiert (embedded
+claude-TUI im UI-Prozess, Command Center), soll die interaktive Planning-Session denselben
+Weg nutzen: konsistente UX, keine externen Fenster.
+
+## Approved decisions (Brainstorm 2026-07-24)
+- **Env-Isolation:** Prozess-global akzeptiert (Sessions werden sequenziell per Klick geöffnet;
+  jedes claude-Child snapshottet Env beim Spawn). Keine Änderung an `PtyTerminalSession`.
+- **wt-Launcher:** Code bleibt; nur das Routing für Planning wird auf ConPTY umgestellt
+  (kein Rip-out von `LaunchPlanningStart/ResumeAsync`).
+- Planning-Kachel im Command Center (Mission Control), wie andere ConPTY-Sessions.
+  Finalize/Discard/Queue-Plan bleiben unverändert auf den bestehenden Buttons.
+
+## Change map
+
+### Worker
+1. `WindowsTerminalLauncher`: Planning-Start-Args in einen bare Builder
+   `BuildPlanningStartArgs(PlanningSessionStartContext) -> IReadOnlyList<string>` herausziehen
+   (analog `BuildResumeArgs`); `BuildPlanningStartCommand` nutzt ihn weiter (wt unverändert).
+   Resume-Args `BuildPlanningResumeArgs(sessionId) = ["--permission-mode","plan","--resume",id]`
+   (bisher inline in `LaunchPlanningResumeAsync`).
+2. `InteractiveLaunchSpecService`: `BuildPlanningStart(PlanningSessionStartContext) -> LaunchSpec`
+   und `BuildPlanningResume(PlanningSessionResumeContext) -> LaunchSpec` — resolve claude,
+   Args aus (1), Env `MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=20000` + `CLAUDEDO_PLANNING_TOKEN=<token>`
+   (+ `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT` wie interaktiv), Cwd = ctx.WorkingDir. Nimmt den Kontext (keine
+   Manager-Kopplung).
+3. Hub: `GetPlanningStartLaunchSpec(taskId) -> LaunchSpec` (ruft `_planning.StartAsync`,
+   broadcastet `TaskUpdated`, baut Spec; bei Fehler discard+rethrow wie heute),
+   `GetPlanningResumeLaunchSpec(taskId) -> LaunchSpec` (ruft `_planning.ResumeAsync`).
+
+### UI
+4. `IWorkerClient`/`WorkerClient`: `GetPlanningStartLaunchSpecAsync`/`GetPlanningResumeLaunchSpecAsync`
+   (mirror `GetInteractiveLaunchSpecAsync`).
+5. `MissionControlViewModel`: `OpenPlanningConPtySessionAsync(taskId, resume)` — dedupt nach
+   TaskId, holt die Planning-Spec, baut `TerminalLaunchDescriptor` → `ConPtyPaneViewModel`
+   (Titel „<task> (Planning)").
+6. `TasksIslandViewModel`: `OpenPlanningSessionAsync`/`ResumePlanningSessionAsync` (Resume-Zweig
+   der `UnfinishedPlanningModal`) öffnen die Planning-ConPTY-Kachel via neuem Event
+   `OpenPlanningConPtyRequested(taskId, resume)`, statt `StartPlanningSessionAsync`/wt.
+   `IslandsShellViewModel` verdrahtet das Event → `OpenMissionControl()` +
+   `MissionControl.OpenPlanningConPtySessionAsync`.
+
+### #12 (Nebenbefund)
+MCP-Permission-Prompt trotz `--allowedTools "mcp__claudedo__*"`: im interaktiven ConPTY vom
+User bestätigbar (kein Blocker wie headless). Beim Testen prüfen, ob der Glob den Prompt in
+der aktuellen CLI unterdrückt; falls nicht, allowedTools/`--permission-mode`-Kombi nachziehen.
+
+## Out of scope
+- Entfernen des wt-Codes / `ResumeTaskInTerminal`.
+- Per-Child-Env-Isolation in `PtyTerminalSession`.
+- Änderungen an Finalize/Discard/Queue-Plan-Lifecycle.
+
+## Verification
+- Build Worker + App (`-c Release`), Worker.Tests + Ui.Tests grün.
+- Visual (User): Planning-Start öffnet Command-Center-Kachel mit claude-TUI im Plan-Modus;
+  create_child_task erzeugt Draft-Kinder live; Resume greift die Session; kein wt-Fenster.

+# Merge Helper ("Let Claude handle it") — Design
+
+**Status:** Proposed — awaiting approval
+**Date:** 2026-07-24
+**Scope:** Feature — a per-list and global button that opens an **interactive ConPTY Claude session** pre-loaded with a set of user-selected tasks. The session (the "Merge Helper") drives each selected task to completion and merge autonomously via `mcp__claudedo__*` tools, asks the user interactively (in the ConPTY terminal) only when uncertain, resolves merge conflicts itself, and ends with a written summary of everything that changed.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Collapse the repetitive per-task review→merge clicking into a single "Let Claude handle it" action. The user picks the tasks; an embedded Claude session babysits them — running the ones that still need running, reviewing diffs, merging the clean ones, resolving conflicts, and reporting back — while remaining fully interactive so the user can answer questions mid-run.
+
+This reuses the existing ConPTY infrastructure (UI-process embedded terminal) and the globally-registered `claudedo` MCP server. The only genuinely new worker capability is **MCP-driven conflict resolution** (§5), which today exists only in the UI hub.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Decisions (locked with user, 2026-07-24)
+
+| Question | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Which tasks does the helper handle? | **Free choice, any status.** User hand-picks; helper acts per-status. |
+| How are tasks selected for a run? | **Checkbox dialog before launch** (candidates listed, user ticks). |
+| Merge authority / review-gate | **Auto-merge; asks interactively on uncertainty.** The app's per-task diff-gate is intentionally bypassed for helper-driven merges. |
+| Conflict handling | **Build MCP conflict tools** so the helper resolves conflicts in the working tree itself, asking only when unsure (Option B). The helper must handle **all** cases including parent/children unit merges; where the MCP path doesn't reach, **manual resolution by hand (Edit + git) is an accepted fallback** (user-confirmed 2026-07-24). |
+
+---
+
+## 3. UX Flow
+
+1. **Entry points**
+   - **Per-list:** context-menu item **"Let Claude handle it"** on each user-list row in `ListsIslandView.axaml` (alongside Settings / Worktrees / Open in Explorer).
+   - **Global:** one entry (footer of the lists island) that spans *all* lists/repos.
+2. Click opens the **Merge Helper selection dialog** (§4): a checkbox list of candidate tasks, grouped by list/repo, pre-filtered to tasks worth acting on but freely overridable.
+3. User ticks tasks → **"Let Claude handle it"** confirm button.
+4. UI asks the worker for a `MergeHelperLaunchSpec`, opens a **ConPTY tile in Mission Control** running the real `claude` TUI with the merge-helper prompt.
+5. The session works through the tasks, printing progress and asking questions inline; the user answers directly in the terminal.
+6. On completion Claude prints a **summary** (merged / skipped / conflicted / follow-ups). The tile stays open for review.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Selection Dialog
+
+New modal `MergeHelperSelectionDialog` (View + VM), built with the existing `TaskCompletionSource<T>` dialog pattern used by other modals.
+
+**Contents:**
+- Title: *"Let Claude handle it"* + subtitle naming the scope ("List: <name>" or "All lists").
+- A scrollable checkbox list of **candidate tasks**. Per row: checkbox, title, status badge, list/repo name (in global mode).
+- Grouping: by list/repo in global mode; flat in per-list mode.
+- Default selection: all **actionable** tasks pre-ticked — actionable = `WaitingForReview`, `Idle`, `Queued`, `Failed` (resettable). `Running` / `WaitingForChildren` shown but unticked (helper will poll them). Terminal `Done`/`Cancelled` excluded from the list entirely.
+- Footer: **"Let Claude handle it"** (disabled when nothing ticked) + **Cancel**. A "select all / none" affordance.
+
+**Candidate source:** `list_tasks` via the existing worker client (per list, or across all lists for global). No new query needed; the VM filters client-side by status.
+
+**Output:** an ordered `IReadOnlyList<string>` of selected task IDs (+ their list/repo mapping), passed to the launch request.
+
+---
+
+## 5. New Worker Capability — MCP Conflict Resolution
+
+Today (verified): `merge_task` / `review_task approve` call `TaskMergeService.MergeAsync(..., leaveConflictsInTree:false)` — on conflict they run `git merge --abort` (clean rollback, no markers) and return `mergeStatus="conflict"`; the task stays `WaitingForReview`. Continue/abort/write-resolution exist **only** on the SignalR hub (Rider merge editor). An MCP agent therefore cannot resolve conflicts. This section adds that.
+
+### 5.1 Approach
+
+Reuse the *exact* engine methods the UI already uses — `TaskMergeService.MergeAsync(leaveConflictsInTree:true)`, `ContinueMergeAsync`, `AbortMergeAsync` — and expose them over MCP. The helper resolves conflict markers on disk (it has filesystem access to the repo checkouts via `--add-dir`, see §6.3) and drives the merge state exclusively through MCP tools so the engine stays authoritative.
+
+### 5.2 MCP surface changes (`ExternalMcpService.cs`)
+
+1. **`review_task` / `merge_task` — new optional param `leaveConflictsInTree: bool = false`.**
+   When `true` and the merge conflicts: leave markers in the checkout instead of aborting, and return
+   `{ mergeStatus: "conflict_in_tree", conflicts: string[], repoPath: string }`
+   where `repoPath` is the checkout holding the markers. Task stays `WaitingForReview`, merge is in progress. Clean-merge behaviour is unchanged, so the helper can always pass `true`.
+
+2. **New tool `continue_merge(taskId)`** → `TaskMergeService.ContinueMergeAsync`.
+   Stages the resolved files and commits the merge; on success the task goes to `Done` and the worktree is marked merged, returning `{ merged: true, mergeCommit }`. If markers remain, returns `{ merged: false, conflicts: string[] }`.
+
+3. **New tool `abort_merge(taskId)`** → `TaskMergeService.AbortMergeAsync`.
+   Aborts the in-progress merge; task stays `WaitingForReview`. Returns `{ aborted: true }`.
+
+**Implementation notes (verify against `TaskMergeService.cs` during the plan):**
+- Confirm the exact signatures of `ContinueMergeAsync` / `AbortMergeAsync` and how in-progress-merge state is keyed. The hub tracks a single active conflict merge; the MCP variants must locate the merge from `taskId` (target branch + repo from the task/list), not shared hub state.
+- Emit the existing `TaskUpdated` event after continue/abort so the UI list re-buckets live.
+- Guard against a repo already mid-merge (`Blocked`) — surface it to the agent rather than clobbering.
+
+### 5.3 Parent/children unit merges
+
+`review_task approve` on a task **with children** drives `PlanningMergeOrchestrator` (a multi-step unit merge with its own continue/abort on the hub). The helper must handle these too. Two paths, tried in order:
+
+1. **MCP (preferred):** `continue_merge` / `abort_merge` detect *which* kind of in-progress merge the task has (single-task `TaskMergeService` vs orchestrated `PlanningMergeOrchestrator`) and route to the matching engine continue/abort. This keeps the orchestrated path engine-mediated over MCP too. Implement if the orchestrator's continue/abort can be located from the task without shared hub UI state (verify in A1).
+2. **Manual fallback (accepted):** where the MCP path genuinely can't reach an in-progress merge, the helper resolves the conflict markers on disk (Read/Edit) and completes the merge by hand (`git add <paths>` + `git commit`, or `git merge --continue`). The user has explicitly accepted hand-merging as a fallback. The system prompt still mandates: **prefer the MCP tools whenever they apply**; only drop to raw git for cases the MCP tools don't cover, and honour the shared-checkout rule (`git commit -- <paths>`, never a bare commit that sweeps peers' index).
+
+---
+
+## 6. Launch — Worker + Wiring
+
+### 6.1 Prompt templates
+
+Add `PromptKind.MergeHelper` (system) and `PromptKind.MergeHelperInitial` (brief) to `ClaudeDo.Data/PromptFiles.cs`, with built-in defaults and `{{token}}` rendering, mirroring `Planning` / `PlanningInitial`.
+
+- **System prompt** (`merge-helper-system.md`): defines the role and the per-status algorithm (§7), the merge/conflict rules, the "ask on uncertainty" posture, and the required final summary format.
+- **Initial brief** (`merge-helper-initial.md`): rendered with the selected tasks — a table of `{id, title, status, list, repo}` plus the scope label. Written to a session-brief file on disk; the positional prompt is a **single-line kickoff** pointing at that file via `--add-dir` (planning pattern — a multi-line positional prompt truncates at the first newline).
+
+### 6.2 Session files
+
+Path: `~/.todo-app/merge-helper-sessions/<sessionId>/` (a fresh GUID per run — these sessions are ephemeral and never resumed):
+- `brief.md` — rendered task list + scope + instructions.
+- No per-session MCP config: the session uses the **globally-registered `claudedo` MCP server** (same as task/ad-hoc sessions), so no token is needed.
+
+Cleanup: prune session dirs older than N days on app start (best-effort; same posture as planning dirs).
+
+### 6.3 Launch spec
+
+New `InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildForMergeHelper(selectedTaskIds, scope, ct)` returning a `LaunchSpec`:
+- **Cwd:** per-list → the list's repo working dir; global → the first selected task's repo (any valid repo; the agent works cross-repo via MCP).
+- **`--add-dir`:** the session-brief dir **plus every distinct repo checkout** among the selected tasks (so the agent can read/resolve conflict markers in each repo). Computed from each task's list working dir.
+- **Args:** `--permission-mode default`, `--allowedTools mcp__claudedo__*,Read,Grep,Glob,Edit,Bash,WebFetch,WebSearch,Skill`, `--append-system-prompt-file <merge-helper-system.md>`, `--add-dir ...`, then the single-line kickoff prompt.
+  - `Edit` is required for conflict resolution; `Bash` is allowed for **read-only** git inspection (`git status`/`diff`) — the system prompt mandates that all merge *state changes* go through MCP tools, never raw `git merge/commit`, to keep the engine authoritative and honour the user's rejection of the "raw git" option.
+- **Env:** `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT=200000` (as task/ad-hoc sessions set).
+
+### 6.4 Hub + client + Mission Control
+
+- **Hub:** `WorkerHub.GetMergeHelperLaunchSpec(string[] taskIds, string? listId)` → `_launchSpecService.BuildForMergeHelper(...)`. Sibling to `GetAdHocLaunchSpec` / `GetPlanningStartLaunchSpec`.
+- **Client:** `IWorkerClient.GetMergeHelperLaunchSpecAsync(...)` + `WorkerClient` impl.
+- **Mission Control:** `MissionControlViewModel.OpenMergeHelperConPtySessionAsync(spec)` — wraps the spec in a `TerminalLaunchDescriptor`, creates a `ConPtyPaneViewModel` (ad-hoc style, **never deduped** — each run is its own tile), adds it to `ConPtySessions`.
+- **Event plumbing:** `ListsIslandViewModel` raises `LetClaudeHandleRequested(scope)`; `IslandsShellViewModel` forwards to Mission Control, which opens the selection dialog, then (on confirm) fetches the spec and opens the tile.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Helper Behaviour (encoded in the system prompt)
+
+For each selected task, act by status:
+- **Idle / Queued:** `run_task_now`; poll `get_task` until terminal or `WaitingForReview`.
+- **Failed:** `reset_failed_task` then run, *or* ask the user — failures often need a human call; default to asking briefly.
+- **Running / WaitingForChildren:** poll `get_task` until it surfaces for review.
+- **WaitingForReview:** `get_task_diff` (stat first, then full if needed), sanity-check the change against the task's intent, then `review_task approve` with `leaveConflictsInTree:true`.
+  - **Clean →** merged, task Done.
+  - **Conflict (`conflict_in_tree`) →** open the conflicted files under `repoPath` (Read/Edit), resolve the markers guided by both sides' intent, then `continue_merge`. If the resolution is non-obvious or risky, **ask the user in the terminal** before continuing. `abort_merge` if the user declines or it's unsafe.
+- **Parent with children:** clean unit merge proceeds; on conflict, resolve via the MCP tools if they reach the orchestrated merge, else hand-merge the markers and complete it (§5.3) — asking the user first when the resolution is non-obvious.
+
+Cross-cutting rules (in the prompt):
+- Ask the user interactively for anything ambiguous, risky, or destructive — that is the point of the ConPTY session.
+- Never use raw `git merge/commit/reset`; drive all merge state through the MCP tools.
+- Keep a running tally; at the end print a **summary**: per task — final status, merge commit (if any), conflicts resolved, anything skipped, and suggested follow-ups.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Testing
+
+**Automated (`ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests`, real SQLite + real git):**
+- `review_task`/`merge_task` with `leaveConflictsInTree:true`: clean merge → Done; conflicting merge → `conflict_in_tree`, markers present in the checkout, task stays `WaitingForReview`.
+- `continue_merge`: after markers resolved on disk → commits, task Done, worktree merged; with markers still present → returns remaining conflicts.
+- `abort_merge`: in-progress merge aborted, markers gone, task stays `WaitingForReview`.
+- `continue_merge`/`abort_merge` on a task with no in-progress merge → clean MCP error, no clobber.
+- `TaskUpdated` fired after continue/abort.
+- `BuildForMergeHelper`: computes distinct repo `--add-dir` set, correct cwd per scope, brief file rendered with all selected tasks, allowed-tools string correct.
+
+**No real-Claude tests** (per project convention) — the end-to-end ConPTY run is a manual smoke item.
+
+**Manual (add to `docs/open.md`):**
+- ConPTY tile launches with the brief; MCP tools reachable; a clean multi-task run merges all and prints a summary.
+- A seeded conflict is resolved autonomously via `continue_merge`.
+- Interactive question round-trip (helper asks, user answers in terminal).
+- Global (multi-repo) run with `--add-dir` for each repo.
+- Selection dialog: grouping, default ticks, select-all/none, per-list vs global scope.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Phasing
+
+Delivered as one plan with three phases (see the plan doc). Phase A is independently useful and merges first.
+
+- **Phase A — Worker MCP conflict tools** (§5): `leaveConflictsInTree` param + `continue_merge` + `abort_merge` + tests. No UI.
+- **Phase B — Worker launch** (§6.1–6.4 worker side): prompt templates, `BuildForMergeHelper`, hub endpoint, session-file/brief generation, client method. Contract for C locked here.
+- **Phase C — UI**: selection dialog (View+VM), per-list + global entries, event plumbing, `OpenMergeHelperConPtySessionAsync`.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Out of scope (v1)
+
+- Resuming a merge-helper session (`--resume`); sessions are ephemeral.
+- A non-interactive/headless merge-helper (this is deliberately a ConPTY interactive session).
+- Cross-list *batching* semantics beyond "act on each selected task independently."
+- Any change to the existing per-task Approve/diff-gate flow.

+# "Let Claude handle it" — per-list handler with read / dedupe / enhance / run / merge
+
+Date: 2026-07-27
+Supersedes parts of: `2026-07-24-merge-helper-design.md` (global scope, run-then-merge-only prompt)
+
+## 1. Problem
+
+The merge helper shipped in v2.3.0 with two entry points — a per-list context-menu item and a
+global footer Broom button — and a prompt that only runs and merges the selected tasks.
+
+Two things are wrong with that:
+
+- **The global scope is unwanted.** A run spanning several lists spans several repos, which
+  makes `cwd`, the `--add-dir` set and the merge order ambiguous for no benefit. The user
+  works one list (= one repo) at a time.
+- **The helper starts too late.** It takes the task list as given: it never reads the tasks as
+  a set, so duplicates run twice and produce conflicting worktrees, and vague tasks go into an
+  autonomous run under-specified and come back wrong.
+
+## 2. Goal
+
+One entry point, on a user list. It opens an interactive ConPTY session that takes the selected
+tasks through five phases: read them all, dedupe them, sharpen them for autonomous execution,
+run them, then review and merge each worktree.
+
+Non-goals: no change to the autonomous queue path, no change to the ConPTY tile plumbing,
+no rename of the `MergeHelper*` identifiers (the user-facing label stays "Let Claude handle it").
+
+## 3. Scope becomes list-only
+
+`listId` becomes non-nullable across the whole chain:
+
+| Layer | Change |
+|---|---|
+| `ListsIslandViewModel` | `MergeHelperRequest(string ListId, …)`; `LetClaudeHandleAllAsync` deleted |
+| `IslandsShellViewModel:241` | unchanged (already forwards `req.ListId`) |
+| `MissionControlViewModel:327` | `OpenMergeHelperConPtySessionAsync(string listId, …)` |
+| `IWorkerClient:90` / `WorkerClient:525` | `GetMergeHelperLaunchSpecAsync(taskIds, string listId, ct)` |
+| `WorkerHub:682` | `GetMergeHelperLaunchSpec(string[] taskIds, string listId)` |
+| `IInteractiveLaunchSpecService:36` | `BuildForMergeHelperAsync(taskIds, string listId, ct)` |
+
+Deleted UI surface:
+
+- Broom button `ListsIslandView.axaml:205-210` and `LetClaudeHandleAllCommand`.
+- `IsGlobal` on `MergeHelperSelectionModalViewModel` and the LIST column
+  (`MergeHelperSelectionModal.axaml:71`) — with a single list the column is constant.
+- Localization keys `lists.letClaudeAllTip`, `modals.mergeHelper.scopeAll`,
+  `modals.mergeHelper.columnList` (en + de, parity test enforces both).
+
+`Configure(string listId, string listName)` loses its nullable overload; `ScopeLabel` always
+renders `modals.mergeHelper.scopeList`.
+
+### 3.1 Single repo in the launch spec
+
+`BuildForMergeHelperAsync` currently collects a distinct `repoDirs` set across the selected
+tasks and picks `cwd` per scope. With a list scope every task shares the list's `WorkingDir`,
+so this collapses to:
+
+- Load the list; throw `InvalidOperationException` if it has no existing `WorkingDir`.
+- `cwd` = that directory; `--add-dir` = the session dir + that one directory.
+- The per-task brief line drops the now-constant `list:` and `repo:` fields.
+
+The context-menu item is already hidden when `WorkingDir` is empty, so the throw is a guard,
+not a normal path.
+
+### 3.2 Entry point visibility
+
+The item stays in the list row's context menu, next to "List settings", "Worktrees overview",
+"Open in Explorer" and "Open in Terminal". That is the established place for list-scoped
+actions; a second always-visible button in the row would break the pattern.
+
+## 4. Worker: `Cancelled` becomes externally settable
+
+`ExternalMcpService.UpdateTaskStatus` accepts only `Idle` and `Queued` and throws
+`"Status '{target}' is not settable externally. Use run_task_now or cancel_task."` for the
+rest — but neither escape hatch reaches an **Idle** task: `cancel_task` only cancels a
+*running* task, and `review_task(decision="cancel")` requires WaitingForReview/Running/Queued.
+The dedupe phase needs exactly that: retire an Idle duplicate without destroying it.
+
+Add to the switch:
+
+```csharp
+case TaskStatus.Cancelled:
+    var cancelResult = await _state.CancelAsync(taskId, DateTime.UtcNow, cancellationToken);
+    if (!cancelResult.Ok)
+        throw new InvalidOperationException(cancelResult.Reason ?? "Cannot cancel task.");
+    break;
+```
+
+`TaskStateService.CancelAsync` (`State/TaskStateService.cs:244`) already owns the transition
+and its worktree/parent side effects. The existing error message in `UpdateTaskStatus` already
+lists `Cancelled` as valid, so this also removes a lie. A cancelled task stays visible and can
+be reset to Idle — nothing is lost, unlike `delete_task`.
+
+## 5. The five-phase prompt
+
+`PromptFiles.MergeHelperDefault` is rewritten. The session stays interactive and the helper is
+told to ask whenever unsure — that is the point of a watched ConPTY session.
+
+### Phase 0 — Read
+
+`batch_get_tasks` over every id in the brief before touching anything: title, description,
+status, parent/child links. The helper must hold the whole set in mind before acting on any
+single task.
+
+### Phase 1 — Dedupe
+
+Compare the tasks pairwise for overlap. Emit a table of candidate pairs with the reason each
+pair looks like a duplicate, then **ask per pair**:
+
+- merge → fold the loser's unique content into the survivor via `update_task`, then
+  `update_task_status(loserId, "Cancelled")`;
+- keep both → note why and move on.
+
+Nothing is cancelled without an explicit answer.
+
+### Phase 2 — Enhance
+
+For each surviving task, sharpen title and description for autonomous execution:
+
+- concrete acceptance criteria,
+- the files/areas actually involved — grounded in the repo via Read/Grep/Glob, not guessed,
+- explicit out-of-scope.
+
+Write back with `update_task` (title / description / commitType are the settable fields; it
+refuses while Running, which cannot happen this early). Rules: do not change intent, do not
+invent requirements. A task too vague to sharpen safely gets a question, not a guess.
+
+### Phase 3 — Run
+
+`run_task_now` cannot be used for a batch: `OverrideSlotService.StartInSlot`
+(`Queue/OverrideSlotService.cs:65-70`) holds a single slot and throws `"override slot busy"`
+on the second concurrent call. The queue picker is the only parallel path.
+
+So: read `get_app_settings`, tell the user how many parallel slots are configured
+(`MaxParallelExecutions`, default 1 — `AppSettingsEntity.cs:14`), then
+`update_task_status(id, "Queued")` for every surviving task, then poll `get_task` until each
+has left Queued/Running — `WaitingForReview` on success, `Failed` on error. Announcing the
+slot count up front stops the user wondering why "run them all" executes one at a time.
+
+A task already `Running` or `WaitingForChildren` when the session starts is not re-queued, only
+polled. A task already `WaitingForReview` skips straight to Phase 4.
+
+### Phase 4 — Review and merge
+
+Sequential, in list order. A task that came back `Failed` needs human judgement — ask whether
+to `reset_failed_task` and re-queue it, or skip it. Otherwise, unchanged from the shipped
+prompt: `get_task_diff` (stat first,
+full diff when non-trivial), sanity-check against the task's intent, ask before merging
+anything that looks wrong, then `review_task(taskId, decision="approve",
+leaveConflictsInTree=true)` and the conflict loop (`continue_merge` / `abort_merge`, parent id
+for unit merges, hand-resolution only where MCP cannot reach, always
+`git commit -- <paths>` and never `git add -A` because the checkout is shared).
+
+New in this phase: the prompt states that because Phase 3 branches all fork from the same
+base, **conflicts are the normal case, not an exception** — resolve them rather than bailing
+out of the run.
+
+### Phase 5 — Summary
+
+One line per task: title — dedupe action — enhanced? — final status — merge commit —
+conflicts resolved. Then anything skipped and why, then follow-ups.
+
+### Brief template
+
+`MergeHelperInitialDefault` names the list and repo once in the header and drops the per-task
+`list:`/`repo:` fields, leaving `- [{status}] {title} (id: {id})`. Descriptions stay out of the
+brief; Phase 0 fetches them.
+
+## 6. Testing
+
+| Test | Change |
+|---|---|
+| `MergeHelperSelectionModalViewModelTests` | drop `IsGlobal`, list-scoped `Configure` |
+| `InteractiveLaunchSpecServiceTests` | three `null`-listId cases → non-null; drop the two-repo global-scope test; add "list without WorkingDir throws" |
+| `MissionControlViewModelTests` | four `OpenMergeHelperConPtySessionAsync(null, …)` calls |
+| `StubWorkerClient`, `TasksIslandViewModelPlanningTests` fake | signature |
+| `PromptFilesTests` | assert the five phase markers in the default prompt |
+| `Localization.Tests` | parity after removing three keys |
+| new: `ExternalMcpService` / worker test | `UpdateTaskStatus(id, "Cancelled")` cancels an Idle task; unknown status still throws |
+
+No test spawns the real `claude` CLI — the prompt content is asserted as text, the session
+itself is a manual smoke step.
+
+## 7. Verification left to the user
+
+- The list context menu shows "Let Claude handle it" only for lists with a working dir, and
+  the Broom button is gone from the footer row.
+- The selection dialog has no LIST column and reads "List: <name>".
+- A real ConPTY run: dedupe questions appear, enhancements land in the task descriptions,
+  queued tasks execute, merges complete or hand off to conflict resolution.

+# Verifikations-Handoff (Stand 2026-07-24)
+
+Manuelle Verifikation am laufenden System. **Mika bedient die UI, die Session protokolliert Pass/Fail** und bereitet Fixtures vor (Tasks via ClaudeDo-MCP, Git-Setups im Testrepo). Aktive Findings landen in `docs/open.md`; hier steht der Fortschritt je Abschnitt.
+
+## Handoff für die nächste Session
+
+**Erledigt (2026-07-24):** §1 Detail-Insel/Diff-Viewer (bis auf DiffModal-Fehler-State), §2 Worktree-Pipeline (alle 3), §3 Planning-Walkthrough (inkl. UnfinishedPlanning-Modal: dismiss/Finalize/Discard PASS, **Resume BUG**), §4 Merge-Editor (Single-Task **und** Planning-Unit-Konflikt **und** Abort), §6 Pick-up-Gating (Code), §7 AskUser (Happy-Path + Timeout + UI-Cleanup; Finding: Banner nur in Mission Control), §8 Session Skills (Install/Aktivierung/Seeding/Gegenprobe/Remove; Findings: fehlender Empty-State + abweichendes Agent-Gear-Icon), §9 Attachments (Drag&Drop-UI + MCP + ComposedPreview; Finding: intermittenter erster-Drop-Fehler), §12 RunNow (moot).
+
+**Noch offen:**
+- **§10 Daily Prep/Weekly** — **Bewusst zurückgestellt (2026-07-24)**: Mika will Daily Prep + Weekly Report ohnehin überarbeiten — Verifikation lohnt erst nach dem Rework.
+- **§11 Self-Update/Autostart** — **Nicht formell gefahren, aber laut Mika „läuft bisher sehr gut" (2026-07-24)** → als OK behandelt; bei Bedarf später gezielt nachtesten.
+- ~~**Kanten:** §1 DiffModal-Fehler-State, §3 UnfinishedPlanning-Modal, §4 Abort~~ — **alle erledigt (2026-07-24)**: §4 Abort PASS, §3 Modal (Finalize/Discard PASS, Resume BUG), §1 via Code-Analyse geklärt (defensiv/unerreichbar).
+
+**Vorbedingungen:** Worker + App laufen (SignalR 37821, External MCP 47822 — lt. `~/.todo-app/worker.config.json`). Testliste **`ClaudeDoTests`** (`C:\TestRepos\ClaudeDoTests`, listId `e7992fee6035448394b646d069690e05`) für zerstörungsfreie Runs.
+
+**Wichtige Gotchas / Lessons (diese Session):**
+- **NIE `model:"haiku"` für schreibende Task-/Verifikations-Runs** — unter dem Default `--permission-mode auto` werden haiku-Writes denied (still no-op). Immer **sonnet**. (Memory `auto_permission_haiku_footgun`.)
+- **Merge-Preflight blockt bei dirty Ziel-Working-Tree** (getrackte uncommittete Änderung im `main`-Checkout) — und **Approve schluckt das still** (Bug, open.md). Vor Merge-Checks `git -C C:\TestRepos\ClaudeDoTests status --short` prüfen; fremde WIP nur mit Rücksprache verwerfen (Memory `shared_worktree_partial_commits`: nur pfad-scoped committen).
+- **Konflikt-Fixture-Rezept:** Task (sonnet) überschreibt eine getrackte Datei im Branch → danach dieselbe Datei auf `main` divergent ändern + `git commit -- <pfad>` → Approve konfliktet. Für Planning-Unit-Konflikt: main-Edit erst scharfschalten, wenn der Parent in WaitingForReview steht.
+- **Datenwahrheit** notfalls direkt aus der DB: `sqlite3 -readonly ~/.todo-app/todo.db "SELECT substr(id,1,8),status,planning_phase,substr(blocked_by_task_id,1,8),title FROM tasks WHERE …"`.
+
+**Testrepo-/Fixture-Zustand:** Aufgeräumt (2026-07-24, §7+§8-Session-Ende) — alle `verif §7/§8`-Tasks gelöscht, deren Worktrees + Branches entfernt, `ClaudeDoTests`-`main` unangetastet bei `ecad650` (Tree clean; die §7-Runs liefen isoliert in Worktrees, main nie berührt). ponytail-Skills nach dem Remove-Test wieder deinstalliert (`session_skills` leer, `~/.todo-app/session-skills/` leer). Keine `verif`-Tasks und keine claudedotests-Worktrees übrig. Die übrigen `claudedo/*`-Branches im Testrepo stammen aus früheren Sessions — nicht anfassen. **Die nächste Session baut Fixtures frisch** (Rezepte s. Gotchas oben).
+
+**Erfasste Folge-Tasks** (Liste „Claude do", Idle, brauchen Brainstorm vor Umsetzung): `f9809a93` Approve erzwingt Diff/Review vor Merge (+ blocked-Merge-Silent-Fail-Fix), `5d627df8` Planning-Session über embedded ConPTY statt wt (+ Planning-Permission-Prompt).
+
+**Fix-Session:** Alle fixbaren Findings sind für eine frische Session in **`docs/fix-plan-2026-07-24.md`** aufbereitet (gruppiert nach Fixbarkeit: A mechanisch, B error-surfacing, C entscheidungsbedürftig, D investigation, E nits). Volltext je Finding bleibt in `docs/open.md`.
+
+**Nacharbeit:** Erledigtes aus `docs/open.md` austragen; dieses File löschen, sobald §10 (nach Rework) + evtl. §11-Nachtest erledigt sind.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Detail-Insel & Diff-Viewer (reines Durchklicken)
+
+- [~] Detail-Insel komplett: Output/Git/Session-Tabs, Merge-Sektion, Agent-Settings-Overrides (InheritedBadge korrekt), Prep-Panel — nach dem VM-Split (`DetailsIslandViewModel` → Sektions-VMs) alles gebunden, keine leeren Panels. — **TEILWEISE (2026-07-24, User-Sichtprüfung an `verif §1 diff matrix`):** Output/Git-Tabs, Merge-Sektion, Agent-Badges vorhanden & gebunden, keine leeren Panels. Git-Tab: `+1 −37`, „merges cleanly" korrekt. **BUG:** OUTCOME-Karte zeigt rohes JSON (s. open.md). Session-Tab fehlt — **erwartet** (nur bei Parent mit Kindern, `HasChildOutcomes`; wird in §4/§3 mit echtem Parent geprüft). Minor: TurnsText `0/max` bei terminalem Reload (open.md). Prep-Panel → §10.
+- [~] Diff-Viewer: Dateiliste, Added/Deleted/Renamed/Binary-Erkennung, Commit-Range-Diff nach einem Merge. — **Added/Deleted/Binary PASS**; **Renamed** erkannt + „R"-Badge, aber schwach dargestellt (kein alt→neu-Pfad, „+0 −0" — nit, s. open.md); „Review Combined Diff" korrekt ausgegraut (kein Planning-Parent). **Commit-Range-Diff nach Merge: PASS (2026-07-24)** — Diff des gemergten Done-Tasks rendert über `base..head` trotz entferntem Worktree.
+- [x] DiffModal-Fehler-State: Commit-Range ohne aufgezeichnete Commits → „Diff nicht mehr verfügbar" statt Crash/leer. — **GEKLÄRT via Code-Analyse (2026-07-24): der Fehler-State ist defensiv/unerreichbar.** `vm.diff.unavailable` (DiffViewerViewModel.cs:117-119) feuert nur bei `FromCommitRange && (BaseRef==null || HeadCommit==null)` oder `WorktreePath==null`. Alle Aufrufer sind gegated: `MergeSectionViewModel.OpenDiffAsync` ruft `ConfigureCommitRange` nur unter `CanDiffMergedRange` (base **und** head non-null) und `ConfigureWorktree` nur unter `hasLiveWorktree` (Pfad non-null + existiert); `WorktreesOverviewModalViewModel` übergibt `row.Path` (non-null). Damit können die Null-Checks über die UI nie wahr werden — der „Crash/leer"-Fall, den der Check absichern wollte, ist durch die CanExecute-/Modus-Gates ausgeschlossen. (Fehlende Commit-Objekte bei vorhandenem base+head → `GetCommitRangeDiffAsync` wirft → „loadFailed", nicht „unavailable".) Nicht manuell auslösbar; kein Bug.
+- [x] „children need attention"-Band auf dem Session-Tab eines Parents mit failed/blocked Kind. — **PASS (2026-07-24, in §3)**: Band + OUTCOMES-Liste mit Roadblock-Hinweis auf dem Session-Tab des Planning-Parents (`verif §3`, Roadblock-Kind).
+
+## 2. Worktree-Pipeline (3 falsifizierbare Fälle)
+
+- [x] Happy-Path: Task mit WorkingDir → `worktrees.state='active'`, `head_commit` gesetzt, `diff_stat` non-empty, Branch `claudedo/<id[:8]>` existiert auf Disk. — **PASS (2026-07-24)** via Task `e63eb2f5` (sonnet): Worktree active, `headCommit 8a3ae86` (ahead=1 vom Base), `diff_stat` non-empty (`review-cancel.txt`), Branch `claudedo/e63eb2f5…` auf Disk. (Mein erster Versuch mit `model=haiku` schlug fehl — das war ein haiku/auto-Footgun, keine Pipeline-Sache; s. open.md.)
+- [x] No-Changes-Run: → `status='Done'`, `head_commit IS NULL`, `diff_stat IS NULL`. — **PASS (2026-07-24)**; Präzisierung: aktueller Flow endet in `WaitingForReview` (nicht `Done`, das ist erst nach Approve) — Doc-„Done" ist veraltet. Kein neuer Commit, leerer Diff bestätigt.
+- [x] Kein Git-Repo (WorkingDir = `C:\Temp`): → `status='Failed'`, KEINE `worktrees`-Row, Git-Fehler im Log. — **PASS (2026-07-24)**; Fehler: „Worktree creation failed: working_dir is not a git repository".
+
+## 3. Planning-Flow-Walkthrough
+
+- [x] Draft → Finalize → Kette: Finalize queued NICHT automatisch (Kinder bleiben Idle); „Queue plan" setzt alle nicht-terminalen Kinder Queued, Kette läuft sequenziell durch (blocked-by löst sich je Vorgänger). — **PASS (2026-07-24, End-to-End mit `verif §3`)**: 3 Kinder gedraftet, Finalize → Parent WaitingForChildren+finalized, Kinder Idle+Kette (clean→conflict→roadblock), Queue plan → sequenzieller Durchlauf, alle Done. **Begleit-Findings (open.md):** „Waiting for Improvements"-Mislabel, Kind-Badge-Live-Refresh (Draft→Planned erst nach Listenwechsel), Kette nicht visualisiert, planning-aktiver Parent zeigt „Idle", Dequeue-X fehlt auf wartenden Kindern, Planning-Permission-Prompt, Planning nutzt wt statt ConPTY.
+- [x] Parent landet nach letztem terminalen Kind in WaitingForReview; Approve merged die ganze Unit (Parent-Worktree falls Active + jedes Done-Kind in Reihenfolge). — **PASS (2026-07-24)**: Parent → WaitingForReview auch mit Roadblock-Kind; Approve → Unit-Merge (child-clean clean, child-conflict → Konflikt-Editor pro Subtask → aufgelöst → Continue, child-roadblock no-op) → Parent Done, Merge gelandet.
+- [x] UnfinishedPlanning-Modal: Resume / FinalizeNow / Discard. — **GETESTET (2026-07-24, `verif §3 unfinished-planning` + `verif §3 resume-discard`)**: Modal wird via Rechtsklick→„Resume planning session" ausgelöst, zeigt Titel + „N draft task(s) waiting to be finalized" + Buttons Discard/Finalize/Resume + ×. **× (dismiss)**: No-op (State bleibt `active`). **Finalize**: Parent → `finalized`+`WaitingForChildren`, Kinder Idle+Blocked-by-Kette (= Planned) — PASS. **Discard**: Draft-Kinder gelöscht, Parent → `none`+`idle` — funktional PASS. **Resume: BUG — macht nichts** (`planning_session_id` nie erfasst → `ResumeAsync` wirft „No Claude session ID captured yet", vom UI im leeren `catch` verschluckt; s. open.md). Beide State-ändernden Aktionen reproduzieren das Kind-Rows-Live-Refresh-Finding (Finalize: Badges stale; Discard: gelöschte Rows bleiben bis Reload; open.md).
+
+## 4. Merge-Editor (Rider-Style 3-Pane) mit echtem Konflikt
+
+Konflikt provozieren: gleiche Datei auf main ändern, während der Task-Branch sie ändert. Beide Wege testen: **(a)** Single-Task-Approve mit Konflikt, **(b)** Planning-Unit-Merge mit Konflikt in einem Subtask (`PlanningMergeConflict` → Editor öffnet pro Subtask).
+
+**Verifiziert 2026-07-24 (Single-Task-Approve mit Konflikt, 2 Dateien, `verif §4`): End-to-End PASS** — Approve→Konflikt→3-Pane-Resolver→beide Dateien auflösen→Continue→Merge→Task Done (Merge-Commit gelandet). Sauberer additiver Approve (`verif §1b`, kein Konflikt) → direkt gemergt → Done, kein Editor: **PASS (2026-07-24)**. ⚠ **Vorbedingung-Fund:** ein dirty Ziel-Working-Tree (getrackte uncommittete Änderung) blockt den Merge und Approve schluckt das **still** (s. open.md „Approve & Merge schluckt blocked"). Planning-Unit-Merge-Konflikt (Weg b): **PASS (2026-07-24, in §3)** — Approve eines Planning-Parents mit einem konfliktenden Subtask öffnet den 3-Pane-Editor pro Subtask (`PlanningMergeConflict`), Continue führt den Unit-Merge fort → Parent Done.
+
+- [x] Drei Panes: MAIN read-only | Result editierbar | INCOMING read-only; Konfliktblöcke rot, aufgelöst grün, in allen Panes. — **PASS**.
+- [x] Gutter-Toggle `›`/`‹`: Seite rein/raus, Klickreihenfolge = Reihenfolge im Result; main/incoming/beide/keine möglich. — **PASS**.
+- [x] Nur Konfliktregionen im Result editierbar (Stable read-only); Edits fließen in den Block zurück. — **PASS**.
+- [~] Synchrones vertikales Scrollen; File-Switcher bei mehreren Dateien; `M conflicts · K resolved`-Readout; Conflict-Ruler (Klick springt). — **PASS**, aber **Multi-File schlecht erkennbar** (2 Konfliktdateien schwer zu sehen — UX-Nit, open.md).
+- [~] Continue erst aktiv, wenn ALLE Konflikte in ALLEN Dateien gelöst; Binär-Guard greift. — **funktional PASS** (merged erst nach Auflösung beider Dateien), aber **Button ist klickbar statt disabled** solange offen → stummer No-op (UX-Bug, open.md). Binär-Guard hier n/a.
+- [x] Abort: Tree sauber, Task bleibt WaitingForReview. — **PASS (2026-07-24, `verif §4 abort`)**: Single-Task-Approve mit divergentem main→Konflikt→3-Pane-Editor→**Abort**: Editor schließt, Task bleibt `WaitingForReview`, `main`-Tree sauber (kein `MERGE_HEAD`, kein dirty), `main`-Inhalt + HEAD unverändert.
+- [FEATURE-WUNSCH] farbliches Hervorheben der übernommenen/eingefügten Zeilen im Result-Pane (open.md).
+- Bekannte Kanten (nur gegenprüfen, nicht als Fail werten): leere Ours-Seite → null-lange Result-Region (Accept geht, Handtippen fummelig); Gutter-Y-Ausrichtung bei sehr hohen Fenstern/großem Scroll; vertikaler Drift nachfolgender Blöcke nach Konflikt mit ungleicher Zeilenzahl.
+
+## 5. Embedded ConPTY / Mission Control
+
+- [x] **Kritisch:** Task-basiert (Kontextmenü „Open ConPTY session"): frischer Task → Worktree wird on-demand angelegt, `claude` startet — Task-Prompt wirklich GESENDET. — **PASS (2026-07-24)**: Agent antwortete mit dem Marker `CONPTY-PROMPT-RECEIVED-4Q7`, Worktree on-demand angelegt.
+- [~] Ad-hoc: „New session"-Button → Ordnerwahl → freie Session im gewählten Verzeichnis. — **funktioniert, aber Button unsichtbar**: `Icon.Plus` ist Strich-Only → `PathIcon` rendert nichts (Bug, open.md). Über Tooltip/Klick auf die leere Header-Fläche erreichbar; Ordnerwahl + Ad-hoc-Session funktionieren.
+- [x] Grid↔Tabs-Toggle; Close killt den Prozess + entfernt die Kachel; mehrere Sessions parallel; Pane-Resize reflowt das TUI. — **PASS (2026-07-24)**: Resize/Reflow ok; Close entfernt Kachel UND killt den Prozess (verifiziert: ConPTY-PID 50964, Kind von ClaudeDo.App, nach Close tot).
+- [~] Resume: im Worktree-Dir per `claude --continue` möglich (ClaudeDo persistiert die ConPTY-Session-Id bewusst nicht). — **wie designt**: erneutes „Open ConPTY session" resumt NICHT, sondern startet frisch und **sendet den Prompt erneut** (UX-Falle, open.md). In-App-Resume gibt es nicht; nur claude-eigenes `--continue`/`--resume` im Worktree-Dir.
+
+## 6. Pick up in terminal
+
+- [x] Sichtbarkeit: Kontextmenü-Eintrag + Terminal-Button (ArrowOut) NUR bei WaitingForReview und Failed; bei Idle/Running/Queued/Done nicht. — **PASS (2026-07-24, Code+Test)**: `CanPickUpInTerminal => Status is WaitingForReview or Failed` (TaskRowViewModel.cs:69, DetailsIslandViewModel.cs:898), gebunden in TaskRowView.axaml:56 + TaskHeaderBar.axaml:34, Notify bei Statuswechsel, Unit-Test `CanPickUpInTerminal_OnlyForReviewOrFailed`. (Klick→Terminal + Fehler-Surfacing bleiben manueller UI/CLI-Check.)
+- [ ] Klick → neues Windows-Terminal im Worktree-Verzeichnis, `claude --resume <id>` nimmt die Session mit Kontext wieder auf.
+- [ ] Fehlerfälle surfacen sauber (Footer-Strip bzw. Fehlerdialog): laufende/gequeuete Task, keine persistierte Session-Id, kein aktiver Worktree.
+- Bekannte Kante: parked-Idle (reject-park) hat oft Session+Worktree, zeigt die Aktion aber bewusst NICHT (Idle nicht unterscheidbar). Nervt das in der Praxis → `CanPickUpInTerminal` erweitern.
+
+## 7. AskUser (Frage aus laufendem Task)
+
+Runtime-Toolname ist `mcp__claudedo_run__ask_user` (snake_case, nicht `AskUser`). Fixture: sonnet-Task mit Prompt „zwei sich widersprechende, irreversible Optionen — du MUSST `ask_user` fragen, nicht raten" erzwingt den Call zuverlässig.
+
+- [x] Task, dessen Prompt eine Rückfrage erzwingt → Frage erscheint im Task-Monitor (Mission Control), Prozess wartet. — **PASS (2026-07-24, `verif §7 askuser 2`)**: Banner in Mission Control, Run blockiert im `ask_user`-Tool-Call. **BUG:** in der Task-Detail-Insel erscheint KEIN Banner (nur Mission Control) → s. open.md.
+- [x] Antwort inline absenden → Run läuft mit der Antwort weiter. — **PASS (2026-07-24)**: Antwort „A" inline gesendet → Agent bekam „option A", benannte `merge-playground.txt` → `renamed-by-agent.txt` um, schrieb `askuser-result.txt` = „USER CHOSE: A", Task → WaitingForReview.
+- [x] Timeout-/Cleanup-Verhalten der PendingQuestionRegistry (Frage unbeantwortet lassen): Task schlägt kontrolliert fehl, UI räumt die Frage auf (MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT-Gotcha). — **PASS (2026-07-24)**: Backend (`verif §7 askuser`) nach exakt 3 min Fallback zurück, Agent hielt sich an „MUST NOT guess", meldete `CLAUDEDO_BLOCKED`, Repo untouched, Registry im `finally` aufgeräumt, Run endete `success` → WaitingForReview. **UI-Cleanup visuell bestätigt** (`verif §7 timeout-ui`, MC-Kachel offen/subscribt bis zum Timeout): Banner verschwindet beim Timeout automatisch (`TaskQuestionResolved` → `ClearPendingQuestion`).
+
+## 8. Session Skills (E2E + UI)
+
+- [x] Settings → Skills: `https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail` installieren → 6 Skills erscheinen (ponytail, -help, -review, -audit, -debt, -gain), auf Commit gepinnt, Dateien unter `~/.todo-app/session-skills/<name>/`. — **PASS (2026-07-24)**: 6 Rows in `session_skills`, alle auf Commit `16f29800` gepinnt, `subpath=skills/<name>`, Dateien inkl. `SKILL.md` am erwarteten Ort. UI-Install nahm die URL an. **Nit:** Skills-Tab hat keinen Empty-State (s. open.md).
+- [x] Skill per-Task (Agent-Settings-Flyout) oder global aktivieren → Task laufen lassen → im Worktree liegt `.claude/skills/<name>/`, Agent kann ihn nutzen, `git status` im Worktree bleibt sauber (info/exclude greift). — **PASS (2026-07-24, per-Task, `verif §8 skill-activate`)**: `ponytail-help` per Flyout aktiviert (`task.SessionSkills=["ponytail-help"]`), Run → `.claude/skills/ponytail-help/SKILL.md` im Worktree, `info/exclude` bekam `/.claude/skills/ponytail-help/`, `git status` clean, Auto-Commit enthält NUR `skill-proof.txt` (Skill NICHT im Tree). Agent hat den Skill nachweislich genutzt (`skill-proof.txt` = ponytail-help-Referenzkarte verbatim). Global-Aktivierung (AppSettings.SessionSkills, General-Tab) nutzt denselben Seeding-Union-Pfad — funktional äquivalent, nicht separat gefahren.
+- [x] Gegenprobe: nicht-aktivierte/andere interaktive Session sieht den Skill NICHT (kein Leak nach `~/.claude`). — **PASS (2026-07-24)**: `~/.claude/skills/` enthält nur die vorbestehenden globalen Skills, KEIN ponytail. Seeder schreibt per Konstruktion nur nach `<workingDir>/.claude/skills` (SessionSkillSeeder), nie nach `~/.claude`.
+- [~] UI: Skills-Tab (Install-Zeile, Karten mit Update/Remove), Checkbox-Listen im General-Tab + AgentConfigEditor (Flyout-Höhe!), leerer Zustand (0 Skills — Empty-State fehlt evtl., dann entscheiden), lange Namen/URLs (Trimming). — **TEILWEISE (2026-07-24)**: Install-Zeile nimmt URL an (PASS); AgentConfigEditor-Flyout-Checkbox-Liste zeigt alle 6 Skills, Höhe ok, Trimming ok (User: „funktioniert wie erhofft"). **Empty-State fehlt** (nackte Fläche — open.md). **Agent-Settings-Gear ⚙ weicht vom Listen-Gear ab** (open.md). Skills-Tab-**Karten** (Name/Beschreibung/Pinned-Commit + Update/Remove) und **General-Tab-Checkbox-Liste** (6 Skills) sichtgeprüft (User: „sieht alles gut aus"). **Remove PASS (2026-07-24)**: ein Remove-Klick auf eine ponytail-Karte entfernte alle 6 Skills per Quell-URL (`session_skills` leer, alle Verzeichnisse unter `~/.todo-app/session-skills/` weg). **Update** nicht separat gefahren (Code-Pfad `SessionSkillRegistry.UpdateAsync`).
+
+## 9. Attachments (Drag & Drop + MCP)
+
+- [x] Drop aufs Detail-Pane: „Drop to attach"-Overlay, Datei erscheint in der Liste, landet unter `~/.todo-app/attachments/<taskId>/`; „Add file…"-Picker; Remove-Button. — **PASS (2026-07-24, `verif §9 attachments-ui`)**: Overlay/Highlight beim Drüberziehen, Drop-Round-Trip (`drop-me.txt` in Liste + Disk + DB, 29 B), „Add file…"-Picker (`pick-me.md`), Remove (Datei aus Liste + Disk + DB) — alle bestätigt. **Finding:** der ALLERERSTE Drop der Session schlug einmalig mit inline „An error occurred" fehl (nichts persistiert), danach fehlerfrei — intermittierend, nicht reproduzierbar (s. open.md).
+- [x] `ComposedPreview` enthält die Attachment-Pfade („## Reference files"). — **PASS (2026-07-24, Code+Test)**: TaskPromptComposer.cs:31 emittiert „## Reference files", ComposedPreview reicht Pfade durch, TaskRunner.cs:132 injiziert zur Laufzeit; TaskPromptComposerTests decken es ab.
+- [x] MCP: `add_task_attachment` / `list_task_attachments` / `remove_task_attachment`; Running-Task verweigert add/remove. — **PASS (2026-07-24)** für add/list/remove-Round-Trip inkl. Datei unter `~/.todo-app/attachments/<taskId>/` (71 B, korrekt, nach Remove weg). Running-Task-Verweigerung ist code-guarded (AttachmentMcpTools), aber ohne dauerhaft laufende Task nicht live geprüft → manueller Rest.
+
+## 10. Daily Prep (Prime) & Weekly Report
+
+- [ ] Prime-Trigger: Schedule feuert bzw. „Plan day" manuell → Prep-Log streamt live, `daily-prep.log` enthält letzten Run, MyDay-Auswahl respektiert `DailyPrepMaxTasks`.
+- [ ] Weekly Report: Range-Default „seit letztem Standup-Wochentag → heute", Markdown rendert, Cache pro Range.
+
+## 11. Self-Update & Autostart (am Gerät)
+
+- [ ] Update-Banner → Update durchführen → danach „up to date".
+- [ ] Autostart: Logoff/Logon startet den Worker (Startup-`.lnk`); Update-Pfad erhält den Autostart; Uninstall entfernt die `.lnk`.
+
+## 12. Status-Bar / RunNow (Mini-Codecheck, erst messen)
+
+- [x] Worker trennen/verbinden → prüfen, ob RunNow-Enable pro Task-Row sauber re-evaluiert (Connection-State lebt in `IslandsShellViewModel`). Nur fixen, wenn tatsächlich kaputt. — **PASS/moot (2026-07-24, Code)**: Es gibt kein per-Row-RunNow-Control in der UI; `RunNowAsync` (IWorkerClient/WorkerClient) hat keinen VM/View-Aufrufer (RunNow nur via MCP `run_task_now`). Die realen Detail-Pane-Aktionen (Enqueue/Dequeue/Continue/ResetAndRetry) re-evaluieren korrekt bei Connection-Change (DetailsIslandViewModel.cs:317-323). Nebenbefund: `RunNowAsync` in der UI ist toter Code.

+        You are the ClaudeDo list handler, running as an interactive session with the user watching. Ask them questions whenever you are unsure — that is the point of this session.
+
+        Your job: take the tasks listed in the brief and drive the whole set to merged, Done work — reading them first, removing duplicates, sharpening what stays, running it, then reviewing and merging each result. You act through the mcp__claudedo__* tools. Read the brief file first (the kickoff message gives its path); it names the list, its repo, and every task's id, title and status. All tasks belong to that one list and one repo.
+
+        Work the five phases in order. Do not start a phase before the previous one is finished.
+
+        ## Phase 0 — Read everything
+        Call batch_get_tasks with every id from the brief and read each task's title, description, status and parent/child links. Do not act on any single task before you have read them all — Phase 1 needs the whole set in view.
+
+        ## Phase 1 — Dedupe
+        Compare the tasks pairwise for overlap: same goal stated twice, one task fully contained in another, two tasks that would edit the same thing for the same reason.
+
+        Print a table of the candidate pairs with, for each, the reason it looks like a duplicate. Then ask the user about EACH pair, one at a time:
+        - merge → fold whatever the loser says that the survivor does not into the survivor via update_task, then update_task_status(loserId, "Cancelled"). Cancelled keeps the task visible and resettable; never use delete_task for this.
+        - keep both → note why and move on.
+
+        Cancel nothing without an explicit answer. If there are no duplicates, say so and go on.
+
+        ## Phase 2 — Enhance for execution
+        Each surviving task is about to be run by an autonomous agent with no further input. Sharpen it so that run can succeed. For each task, rewrite title and description to carry:
+        - concrete acceptance criteria — what must be true when it is done,
+        - the files and areas actually involved, found with Read/Grep/Glob in the repo. Do not guess paths; look them up.
+        - what is explicitly out of scope.
+
+        Write it back with update_task (title, description and commitType are the settable fields).
+
+        Rules: do not change what the user asked for, and do not invent requirements. You are making the existing intent precise, not adding to it. If a task is too vague to sharpen without guessing, ASK instead of guessing. Report a short before/after per task.
+
+        ## Phase 3 — Run
+        Do NOT use run_task_now for a batch — there is a single override slot and the second call fails with "override slot busy".
+
+        Read get_app_settings and tell the user how many parallel execution slots are configured (maxParallelExecutions). If it is 1, say plainly that the tasks will execute one after another and that the value is changeable in ClaudeDo's settings.
+
+        Then, for each surviving task:
+        - Idle or Failed → update_task_status(id, "Queued"). For a Failed task ask first whether to reset_failed_task and re-queue it, or skip it.
+        - Queued → leave it; it is already waiting for a slot.
+        - Running or WaitingForChildren → leave it; only poll.
+        - WaitingForReview → leave it; it goes straight to Phase 4.
+
+        Poll get_task until every task has left Queued and Running — WaitingForReview on success, Failed on error. Report progress as tasks land; do not poll silently for minutes.
+
+        ## Phase 4 — Review and merge
+        One task at a time, in the order the brief lists them.
+
+        1. Inspect the change with get_task_diff (stat first, then the full diff if it is non-trivial) and sanity-check it against the task's title and description.
+        2. If the change looks wrong, incomplete, or risky, STOP and ask the user before merging — offer reject_rerun (with feedback) or skip.
+        3. Otherwise merge with review_task(taskId, decision="approve", leaveConflictsInTree=true).
+           - Clean merge → the task is Done; move on.
+           - Conflict (markers left in the working tree, repoPath returned) → resolve it.
+
+        Every branch in this run forked from the same base, so conflicts between them are the NORMAL case, not a failure. Resolve them and keep going; do not abandon the run because a merge conflicted.
+
+        Resolving a conflict:
+        - Open each conflicted file under repoPath (Read/Edit) and resolve the <<<<<<< ======= >>>>>>> markers, guided by BOTH sides' intent. Then call continue_merge(taskId). If markers remain it tells you — fix and call again. Use abort_merge(taskId) to cancel a merge you cannot safely resolve.
+        - For a task WITH children (a unit merge), pass the PARENT task id to continue_merge / abort_merge.
+        - If a resolution is non-obvious, ambiguous, or might drop someone's work, ASK THE USER before continuing.
+        - Prefer the MCP tools whenever they apply. Only if the MCP tools cannot reach an in-progress merge may you finish it by hand: resolve the markers, then `git add -- <the resolved paths>` and `git commit` — NEVER `git add -A` or a bare commit, because the checkout is shared with other sessions.
+
+        Rules for the whole session:
+        - Never use raw `git merge`, `git reset`, or `git checkout` to force a merge. Drive merges through the MCP tools; hand-resolution is only for markers the tools left and cannot finish.
+        - Ask the user for anything ambiguous, risky, or destructive.
+
+        ## Phase 5 — Summary
+        Print one line per task from the original brief:
+        title — dedupe action (kept / merged into X / cancelled as duplicate of X) — enhanced (yes/no) — final status — merge commit (if any) — conflicts resolved (if any).
+
+        Then list anything you skipped or left for the user and why, and any follow-ups worth turning into new tasks.

General hosts the per-model preset table (`ModelPresets` → `ModelPresetRowViewModel`: effort + max turns per alias) which **replaced** the single global "Max turns" field, `ListSettingsModalViewModel` (name, working dir, commit type, "manual list" flag, delete list; hosts shared `AgentConfigEditorViewModel` as `Agent` property (scope=List) — save delegates to `Agent.SaveAsync()`), `RepoImportModalViewModel` (bulk-create lists from git repos found under chosen parents; already-wired repos disabled), `WeeklyReportModalViewModel` (range pickers default "since last standup weekday → today", cached per range, markdown via MarkdownView), `MergeModalViewModel` (single-task merge form, called from the diff modal), `WorktreesOverviewModalViewModel` (global/per-list worktree rows, batch merge + state ops), `UnfinishedPlanningModalViewModel` (Resume/FinalizeNow/Discard for a draft planning session), `MergeHelperSelectionModalViewModel` ("Let Claude handle it": checkbox picker over one list's non-terminal, non-manual tasks, pre-ticks the actionable ones; list-scoped only — `Configure(listId, listName)`, no global scope. Opened from the list row's context menu, which is hidden when the list has no working dir; on confirm `ListsIslandViewModel` raises `LetClaudeHandleRequested` → shell → `MissionControlViewModel.OpenMergeHelperConPtySessionAsync` opens an ad-hoc ConPTY tile running the five-phase handler prompt), `WorkerConnectionModalViewModel` (offline help), `AboutModalViewModel`, `LogVisualizerViewModel` (worker logs, last 30 min, all levels + a warn/error-only filter; loads via `GetRecentLogsAsync`).
 - **Diff stack** — `UnifiedDiffParser` (static; parses `git diff` output into `DiffFileViewModel`s, detecting added/deleted/renamed/binary files and per-line numbers; `Flatten` injects file-header rows for a combined single-pane view). `DiffModels.cs` holds shared types: `DiffLineViewModel`, `DiffFileViewModel`, `DiffLineKind`, `DiffFileStatus`, `SubtaskDiffRow`, `DiffTreeNodeViewModel`, `DiffTree`. `DiffViewerViewModel` is a single unified read-only diff viewer with two modes: **Files** (dirty worktree / branch-vs-base / commit-range — loads via GitService, shows a folder file-tree on the left + per-file diff pane on the right, Merge button for live branch source) and **Planning** (per-subtask diffs via `GetPlanningAggregateAsync`, subtask list left + flat diff right, combined integration-branch toggle). The Merge button opens the merge form, which routes to `ConflictResolverViewModel` on conflict. `DiffLinesView` renders per-file diff content with binary/empty placeholders.
 - **Conflicts** — `ConflictResolverViewModel` (in-app **Rider-style 3-pane merge editor** for both single-task and planning unit-merge conflicts: single-task starts the conflict merge, parses each conflicted file into stable/conflict `MergeFileSegment`s via the worker's `GetMergeConflictDocuments`; exposes the active file's three reconstructed documents — `ActiveOursText` / `ActiveResultText` / `ActiveTheirsText` (from `MergeFile.OursText/ResultText/TheirsText`; Result seeds unresolved conflicts with Ours) — plus `ActiveFile`/`SelectFileCommand` (multi-file switcher), `Current`/`Next`/`Previous` (focused-conflict nav), a per-active-file `PositionText` readout, per-block `AcceptOurs/Theirs/Both/Base` + `MergeFile.Compose`, and `CanContinue` gated on every file resolved + no binary; writes each file via `WriteConflictResolution`, continue/abort; **planning mode** via `OpenForPlanningAsync(parentId, subtaskId)` loads the current subtask's mid-merge conflicts without re-starting the merge and routes continue/abort to `ContinuePlanningMerge`/`AbortPlanningMerge`, so a unit-merge conflict re-opens the editor per subtask via the `PlanningMergeConflict` broadcast). The view (`Views/Conflicts/ConflictResolverView`) shows the whole file in three **AvaloniaEdit** panes — MAIN/ours (read-only) | editable Result | INCOMING/theirs (read-only) — with TextMate highlighting by extension (theme `StyleInclude` in `App.axaml`); a code-behind `IBackgroundRenderer` tints each conflict block (unresolved/resolved) across panes, an `IReadOnlySectionProvider` + `TextAnchor` regions keep only conflict spans editable in Result (edits flow back to the block); each unresolved conflict starts EMPTY (a thin marker bar); the between-pane gutter controls **toggle** each side in/out of the result — `›`/`‹` add MAIN/INCOMING in click order (first pick on top), clicking again removes that side — so a conflict can take main, incoming, both, or neither; a `FilesSummary` readout shows how many files still have conflicts, and the three panes share a proportional synced vertical scroll. A conflict overview ruler right of the Result pane (`ConflictMap`) maps every conflict in the file proportionally (click a tick to jump) — handy for long files. Conflict block tints live in `Tokens.axaml` (`Merge*TintBrush`). The editor is reached from review **Approve** on conflict and from the **Merge** button in the Diff window (a conflicting `MergeTask` hands off to the resolver via `RequestConflictResolution`).

 - Context menus exist on both list rows and task rows; right-click selects before opening the menu
 - "Run Now" CanExecute re-evaluates when worker connection state changes
 - Icon gotcha: `PathIcon` fills geometry. Line-art/stroke icons must be defined as filled geometry or rendered as a stroked `Path` (e.g. `Icon.PlanDay` via the `Path.plan-icon` style); a pure stroke path used with `PathIcon` is invisible.
+- Window key bindings live on `MainWindow`: `Ctrl+K` focuses search, `Ctrl+N` the add-task box. Do **not** bind bare punctuation gestures — `OemQuestion` used to hold search focus and silently swallowed `#` app-wide on a German layout.
+- `Ellipse.spinner` (IslandStyles) is the shared indeterminate spinner: used for a starting ConPTY pane (`InteractiveTerminalViewModel.IsStarting`) and in place of the refine button while `TaskRowViewModel.IsRefining`.
+- `ConPtyPaneViewModel` resolves its own launch spec (ctor takes a descriptor **factory**; the host wires handlers and then calls `Start()`), so the Mission Control tile appears immediately with its spinner while the worker is still preparing the worktree. A failed launch keeps the tile with its inline error banner instead of never appearing.
 - `SessionTerminalView` is the reusable log terminal (StyledProperties `Entries`, `Label`, `IsRunning`, `IsDone`, `IsFailed`) used for both the task `Log` and the prep `PrepLog`.
 - `DetailsIslandView` is a pane-wide drag-and-drop file target (`DragDrop.AllowDrop`, Avalonia 12 `DataFormat.File`) with a "Drop to attach" hover overlay. `DescriptionStepsCard` shows an Attachments list (file name, size, remove button), an "Add file…" picker, and an explicit `DropStatus` confirmation line. Keys use the `details.attachments.*` localization namespace (en + de).
