Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main'

Die oberste Sidebar-Ebene ist jetzt eine gemischte TopLevel-Collection, so
dass eine Liste auch oberhalb eines Ordners stehen kann. DropAsync deckt
alle vier Quelle/Ziel-Kombinationen ab, ReorderSidebarAsync numeriert die
gesamte sichtbare Reihenfolge ueber lists und list_folders hinweg.

 - **Planning-aktiver Parent zeigt weiter „Idle":** Parent in `planning_phase=active` hat `Status=Idle` (korrekt im Modell), aber `TaskRowViewModel.StatusLabel` (Zeile 132) kennt nur `HasInteractiveSession`/`IsParked` als Overrides — der `PlanningBadge` ersetzt den Chip nicht sichtbar → liest sich wie ein normaler Idle-Task. Wunsch: klarer „Planning/Draft aktiv"-Zustand, der Idle überschreibt. (Kinder zeigen korrekt „Draft".)
 - **Blocked-by-Kette nicht sichtbar:** Nach Finalize ist die sequentielle Kette korrekt gesetzt (child[i] blocked-by child[i-1]), aber die UI stellt Reihenfolge/Abhängigkeit nicht dar — es gibt nur den „waiting"-Chip. Wunsch: Kette visualisieren (z.B. „wartet auf <Vorgänger>").
-- **Dequeue-„X" fehlt auf wartenden (blockierten) Kettengliedern:** `CanRemoveFromQueue = IsQueued || HasQueuedSubtasks` (TaskRowViewModel.cs:99), `IsQueued` verlangt leeres `blocked_by`. Ein gequeuetes, aber blockiertes Kind (`IsWaiting`) bekommt daher kein Remove-from-queue-X — nur Parent + erstes (entsperrtes) Kind.
-- **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"). Im `sessionSkillsTab`-Locale-Namespace (en.json:674) gibt es keinen `empty`-Key.
-- **Modal-Bodies sind unten abgeschnitten** (Sichtprüfung 2026-08-06, beobachtet in den Listen-Settings: der Hinweistext unter „Verify command" ist mitten in der Zeile vom Footer weggeschnitten und lässt sich nicht herunterscrollen; laut Mika „fast überall" in den Settings-Modals). Gemeinsames Muster: `<ScrollViewer Padding="20,16">` als Modal-Body — in `ListSettingsModalView:36`, `MergeModalView:33`, `WorktreesOverviewModalView:131`, `AboutModalView:20`, `MergeHelperSelectionModal:47`, `RepoImportModalView:45`, `LogVisualizerView:45` sowie `WorkConsole:295/395`. **Vermutete** Ursache (nicht verifiziert): das untere `Padding` des ScrollViewers zählt nicht zum scrollbaren Extent, die letzten Pixel sind also unerreichbar. Erst am echten Fall nachmessen, dann ggf. einheitlich das Padding vom ScrollViewer auf ein `Margin` des inneren Inhalts umziehen.
+- **Modal-Bodies unten abgeschnitten — gefixt, Sichtprüfung offen** (Ursache 2026-09-02 verifiziert: `ScrollViewer.Padding` zählt in Avalonia 12 nicht zum Extent; Fix ist das Padding auf ein `Margin` des inneren Inhalts umzuziehen). Betraf `AboutModalView`, `MergeHelperSelectionModal`, `MergeModalView`, `RepoImportModalView`, `WorktreesOverviewModalView` — alle fünf umgestellt. `ListSettingsModalView`, `LogVisualizerView` und `WorkConsole` hatten zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits kein ScrollViewer-Padding mehr.
 - **Usage-Monitor-Modal: Analyse-Tabellen ausbaufähig** (Sichtprüfung 2026-08-06; Gauges, Info-Bänder, Presets/Custom-Range und Refresh-Button sind in Ordnung). Models-Tab: die Spaltenköpfe „OTHER CACHE" und „SHARE" kollidieren zu `OTHER CACHISHARE`; `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001` läuft in die IN-Spalte; alle Zahlen linksbündig und ohne Tausendertrenner (`506830708`). Tasks-Tab: Task-Titel wird ohne Ellipse hart an der LIST-Spalte abgeschnitten, der LIST-Text ebenfalls; MODEL ist bei Runs von vor der `task_runs.model`-Spalte leer (besser „—"). Wunsch: Zahlen rechtsbündig + `#,##0` (oder k/M), Spaltenbreiten/Truncation fixen.
 - **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".
 - **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. 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.

   - `Number` (INTEGER NOT NULL, unique index `idx_tasks_number`) — a global, monotonically increasing display alias for tasks. **Never reused**: deleting a task leaves a gap in numbering, ensuring that a task number that appears in a log or report always points to the same task (if it exists). Allocated by `TaskNumberAllocator.AddWithNumberAsync` on every insert via a persistent counter (`app_settings.next_task_number`). **Why not `MAX(number) + 1`:** deleting the highest-numbered task would free its number for reuse, breaking the immutability guarantee. The allocator uses an `UPDATE…RETURNING` statement to claim numbers atomically, retrying up to 5 times if a uniqueness collision occurs (the counter advances on each attempt, so retries always allocate fresh numbers).

Deliberately its own table rather than a flag on `lists`, so every caller that enumerates lists (MCP `list_task_lists`, "move to list", the queue picker, repo import) needs no folder filtering. Folder CRUD lives on `ListRepository`.
 - **ListConfigEntity** — ListId (PK, 1:1), Model, SystemPrompt, AgentPath, MaxTurns, SessionSkills, VerifyCommand, PermissionMode, TicketProjectId (all nullable). `VerifyCommand` is an optional post-merge gate; null/blank = no gate → [review-merge](../../docs/explore-notes/review-merge.md). `PermissionMode` is null = inherit the global default; resolution order task → list → global lives in `EffectiveRunConfigResolver`. `TicketProjectId` (`ticket_project_id`) links the list to a project in the external ticket system; null = not linked → `ClaudeDo.Worker/CLAUDE.md` Tickets section.
   - ⚠️ `ListRepository.SetConfigAsync` copies the entity **verbatim**, so every writer must carry the fields it doesn't own (`SessionSkills`, `PermissionMode`, `TicketProjectId`) or they silently reset. `UpdateListConfigDto.TicketProjectId` is tri-state (`null` = keep stored) for exactly that reason — only the list-settings modal sends an explicit value. This bit `PermissionMode` for real: its update-branch copy was missing from `SetConfigAsync` until `f0a3a186`, so a list's permission-mode override only ever stuck on the list's *first* save, never on a later one.

 - **IslandsShellViewModel** — root coordinator. Owns the three island VMs and the `WorkerClient`, wires cross-island events (selection, notes/prep mode, conflict resolution), connection state, the update banner, the inline worker-log strip (clickable → Log Visualizer overlay; `FlashFooterError` surfaces UI-action failures + the worker's Warn/Error there), responsive-layout flags (`ShowLists`/`ShowDetails` by window width), `PrimeStatus` flash, the modal openers, and `RestartWorkerAsync`/`CheckForUpdatesAsync`. Hosts `UpdateCheckService`.
 - **ListsIslandViewModel** — smart lists (My Day, Important, Planned, virtual queued/running/review), user lists, selection, list CRUD, drag-reorder, badge counts, opens list settings / repo import / worktrees overview, `OpenInExplorer`/`OpenInTerminal`.
+  - **Folders:** the sidebar's top level is **one mixed collection**, `TopLevel` (`ObservableCollection<object>`: `ListFolderNavItemViewModel` rows, each with its own `Lists`, interleaved with folder-less `ListNavItemViewModel` rows) — that's what lets a list sit *above* a folder. `Folders`/`RootLists` are `OfType` **projections** of it, not collections to keep in sync. `UserLists` stays the **flat superset** every count refresh, row refresh and the no-repo banner work over — a row lives in both. `ContainerOf(row)` resolves which collection renders it (non-generic `IList`, since the top level is mixed). The view is a single `ItemsControl` over `TopLevel` with **implicit, type-matched `DataTemplate`s in `UserControl.DataTemplates`** — no keyed row template, and the folder's child `ItemsControl` resolves the same list template by walking up to the UserControl. A folder is never selectable: tapping the header runs `ToggleFolderCommand` (persisted to `list_folders.is_collapsed`), and its badge is the sum of its children. `DropAsync(source, target, placeBelow)` handles all four source/target combinations and doubles as the move: a drop position implies a container, so dropping a list onto a row in another folder — or next to *anything* at the top level, folder headers included — reassigns `FolderId`. A folder dropped onto a row inside a folder is ignored; folders never nest. `MoveToFolderAsync` is the drop-into-the-header path (reaches collapsed/empty folders, bound to the middle half of the header — the outer quarters insert *next to* the folder instead); `RemoveFromFolderCommand` is its context-menu counterpart. Both end in `PersistOrderAsync` → `ListRepository.ReorderSidebarAsync`, one `sort_order` sequence spanning **both tables**. ⚠️ A **folder** drag starts from `PointerMoved` past a 4px threshold using the *stored* `PointerPressedEventArgs` (`DoDragDropAsync` only accepts those) — starting it on press would capture the pointer and swallow the `Tapped` that folds the folder.
 - **TasksIslandViewModel** — open/overdue/completed groups for the selected list with hierarchy-aware regrouping; task CRUD, drag-reorder, toggle done/star, schedule, enqueue/dequeue, cancel; review actions; planning session lifecycle; `RefineTask`, `OpenConPtySessionRequested`, `ToggleManual`, `SyncInteractiveSessions`; MyDay extras (`IsMyDayList`, `ClearDayCommand`, `ShowPrepLogCommand`) and the pinned Notes pseudo-row. Raises `NotesRequested`/`PrepRequested` for the shell.
 - **DetailsIslandViewModel** — the detail pane for a bound `TaskRowViewModel`. Owns live-log streaming (`Log` via `StreamLineFormatter`), debounced title/description editing, subtasks, the session-outcome/roadblock split, the three-tab work console (`output`/`git`/`session`), child surfacing (`ChildOutcomes` + `ChildrenNeedingAttention` drive an attention band on the Session tab), attachments, and the modes `IsNotesMode`/`IsPrepMode`/computed `IsTaskDetailVisible`. Failures raise `ErrorReported`, wired by the shell into `FlashFooterError`.
   - Three concerns are extracted into section VMs exposed as properties: `AgentSettings` (`AgentConfigEditorViewModel`, scope=Task), `MergeSectionViewModel`, `PrepPanelViewModel`. Helper rows live in the same file.

General hosts the per-model preset table (`ModelPresetRowViewModel`: effort + max turns per alias) which **replaced** the single global "Max turns" field. The Prime Claude tab gives each schedule row a three-way action radio group (Ping / Fill My Day / Custom) — `RadioButton.GroupName` is bound to a **per-row** `RadioGroup` string, since a shared group name would make every schedule share one selection. `DailyPrepMaxTasks` is disabled unless some row is `FillMyDay`. |

The **analytics** part (models/tasks/cost) comes from the external TokenTracker export, not from us: without the CLI the modal shows a hint card with an install button (gated on Node ≥ 20) instead of the totals header.

+in tests), rendered through `MarkdownView`, with a `Topmost` pin so it can sit docked beside the
+shell. A new sheet = a new `.md` file + its key in `CheatSheetsViewModel.Keys` (+ a menu entry if
+it should be directly reachable). `MarkdownView` has no table/fenced-code support, so sheets are
+bullet lists with inline code — rendered via its opt-in `CommandRows` property, which turns a
+`` `command` — description `` bullet into a mono chip + copy button + description and wraps each
+`##` section in a collapsible `Expander` (blocks are added to the open section's panel, not to the
+host). The flag is opt-in because the other three `MarkdownView` call sites (prompt-file viewer,
+weekly report, task-description preview) render prose where copy buttons would be noise.

-- **TaskStateService** — the **only** component that writes `Status`, `PlanningPhase`, `BlockedByTaskId`, and the `task_dependencies` edges. All transitions return a `TransitionResult` (no exceptions on invalid moves). Wakes the queue and advances the planning chain on child terminal transitions.

All transitions return a `TransitionResult` (no exceptions on invalid moves). Wakes the queue and advances the planning chain on child terminal transitions. `SubmitForChildrenAsync` (Running → WaitingForChildren) also chains and immediately queues a normal parent's own Idle/Queued children via `PlanningChainCoordinator.SetupChainAsync(enqueue: true)` — unlike a planning parent (`PlanningPhase != None`), whose children stay untouched here and wait for the user's explicit "Queue plan" (`QueuePlanAsync`); a child already `Running` makes `SetupChainAsync` throw, which is caught and logged rather than failing the parent's own transition.

 - **IQueueWaker / IQueuePicker / QueueService** — waker is a singleton `SemaphoreSlim`; picker performs the atomic `Queued → Running` claim filtered by `BlockedByTaskId IS NULL`, `is_manual = 0`, schedule, and "no `task_dependencies` edge whose predecessor isn't `done`" (doubly negated on purpose: zero edges stays eligible, all edges must be done, and an edge pointing at a vanished task keeps blocking); QueueService is a thin `BackgroundService` looping on the waker, dispatching via `TaskRunner`. Per tick it also applies the usage throttle and gate → [usage-monitoring](../../docs/explore-notes/usage-monitoring.md).
 - **RunCancellationRegistry** — taskId → running-run CTS. Lets `TaskStateService.CancelAsync` kill a cancelled task's process without a DI cycle.
 - **OverrideSlotService** — owns `RunNow` / `ContinueTask`; goes through `TaskStateService.StartRunningAsync` (caller-driven, serialized by slot lock).
