Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main'

A hand-driven task produces no streamed agent output, so the Output tab
opened empty. Bind now selects git for manual/interactive rows and resets
to output for autonomous ones.

-- Task status flow: Idle | Queued -> Running -> WaitingForReview -> Done | Failed | Cancelled. A task that spawns/has children passes through WaitingForChildren first, then surfaces for review once every child is terminal — this is the single parent model for both planning and improvement parents (planning/improvement *children* themselves go straight to Done, only the parent is reviewed). From review you can approve, reject-rerun (Queued, resumes the session with feedback), reject-park (Idle), or cancel. Approve is the single review+merge action: a childless task merges its own worktree then Done (conflicts keep it in WaitingForReview); a task with children drives the unit merge (parent worktree if any + each Done child in order, with conflict continue/abort). Tasks with no active worktree (sandbox run) approve straight to Done. In the detail pane, **Approve & Merge is gated behind opening the diff**: when there is something to inspect (worktree diff / merged range / children combined diff) the button stays disabled until the diff or combined-diff viewer has been opened once, and re-locks per run (any state change resets it); tasks with nothing to inspect are never gated. The row-level quick-approve in the task list is an intentional bypass.

+
+Autonomous queue tasks are **not** covered here — they stay on the stream-json path via
+`TaskRunner`. See [worker-task-pipeline.md](worker-task-pipeline.md).
+
+## The four session kinds
+
+| Kind | Hub spec method | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Task session | `GetInteractiveLaunchSpec` | Effort from the task/list model preset |
+| Ad-hoc | `GetAdHocLaunchSpec` | Effort from the global default |

+| List handler | `GetMergeHelperLaunchSpec` | Effort from list config; `--permission-mode auto` (unattended) |
+
+## ⚠️ Gotcha: never pass task free-text as a CLI argument
+
+**No ConPTY path ever passes task free-text (title / description / brief) as a CLI argument.**
+Every one of them writes it to a file first and hands `claude` a single-line kickoff pointing at
+that file, exposed via `--add-dir`.
+
+Two independent reasons:
+
+1. The ConPTY host flattens `Args` into **one command line** to spawn the process, and `claude`
+   re-splits that line on whitespace. Any token starting with `-` in real task text (e.g. `->`,
+   `--abort`) is then misread as an unknown option.
+2. A raw multi-line positional prompt truncates at its **first newline** regardless.
+
+A fresh task session's brief lives at `~/.todo-app/task-sessions/<taskId>/brief.md`
+(`InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildFreshTaskArgsAsync`). A task with neither title nor
+description skips the file **and** the positional arg entirely — it still gets `--session-id`.
+
+## Argument ordering
+
+Every spec passes `--effort <level>` from the relevant model's preset. It **leads** the args —
+except for a fresh task session with a brief, where `--add-dir <sessionDir>` must come first so
+`--effort` (a single-value flag) can sit directly before the positional kickoff.
+
+`--model` is deliberately **NOT** forced on an interactive session — the user can still switch
+models in the TUI.
+
+### ⚠️ Gotcha: no directory arg may end in a separator
+
+`PtyTerminalSession` hands `Args` to `TerminalControl.Args`, which the library flattens into ONE
+Windows command line with each token quoted. Windows argv rules read `\"` as an *escaped* quote,
+so a token like `"C:\repo\"` never closes and every following argument is swallowed by the
+preceding **variadic** flag. A list working dir stored as `C:\Dev\Repos\Bandel.Hub\` therefore
+fed `--add-dir` the repo, `--append-system-prompt-file`, its value **and** the positional kickoff:
+the CLI warned `brief.md is not a directory` and the session opened with no prompt at all
+(2026-08-06). `BuildForMergeHelperAsync`/`BuildForMergeHelperHandoffAsync` now run the repo
+through `TrimTrailingSeparator`; session dirs the worker builds never carry one.
+
+Diagnosing this from code or a PowerShell repro is a dead end — PowerShell quotes correctly, so
+every repro passes. Read the real command line instead:
+`Get-CimInstance Win32_Process -Filter "Name = 'claude.exe'"`.
+
+## Resuming a task session (`TaskEntity.InteractiveSessionId`)
+
+`claude --session-id <uuid>` lets the caller pre-assign a conversation's session id instead of
+waiting for the CLI to generate one. `BuildForTaskAsync` uses this so a closed or aborted
+interactive task session can be resumed even if it never got far enough to write anything to its
+own transcript:
+
+1. **Resume check.** If the task isn't on a freshly (re)created worktree, `BuildForTaskAsync`
+   picks a session to resume with `task.InteractiveSessionId ?? run?.SessionId` — this task's own
+   last *interactive* conversation takes precedence over the latest *autonomous* run's session,
+   since they're distinct conversations even against the same worktree. A task that has only ever
+   run autonomously still resumes into that run's session the first time it's opened interactively
+   (this is the pre-existing behavior `run?.SessionId` alone used to provide).
+2. **Fresh path.** If neither is available (never run any way, or `isFreshWorktree`), a new
+   `Guid.NewGuid()` is generated and persisted to `TaskEntity.InteractiveSessionId` via
+   `TaskRepository.SetInteractiveSessionIdAsync` — **before** the `LaunchSpec` is returned, i.e.
+   before the ConPTY host ever spawns `claude`. `BuildFreshTaskArgsAsync` then passes it as
+   `--session-id <guid>`, placed as the single-value flag directly before the positional kickoff
+   (or, with no brief, right after `--effort`).
+3. **Fresh worktree wins.** `isFreshWorktree` forces `run` to `null` *and* is checked before
+   reading `task.InteractiveSessionId`, so a recreated worktree never resumes a stale id from
+   either source — it always takes the fresh path, which overwrites the stale
+   `InteractiveSessionId` with the new one.
+
+Net effect: reopening an interactive session for a task (pane closed, process killed, whatever)
+resumes the same claude conversation, because the id was committed to the DB before the previous
+launch even started.
+
+## List handler ("Let Claude handle it")
+
+`BuildForMergeHelperAsync` uses `--permission-mode auto` so it runs unattended. The
+`--allowedTools` allowlist is the security boundary:
+`mcp__claudedo__*,Read,Grep,Glob,Edit,Bash,WebFetch,WebSearch,Skill`.
+
+`MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT` is 200 s here — `TaskWaitMcpTools` clamps its own timeout to 170 s to stay
+comfortably under it (see [external-mcp.md](external-mcp.md)).
+
+### The host task and its commit range
+
+The handler run **owns a real ClaudeDo task**, created by `CreateMergeHelperTask` (hub) →
+`InteractiveLaunchSpecService.CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync`, called by the UI *before* it opens
+the tile:
+
+- One new task per run in that list, `Idle` + `IsManual=true` (never queued).
+- Title/description localized via `missionControl.mergeHelperTaskTitle` /
+  `mergeHelperTaskDescriptionHeader`.
+- `TaskEntity.HandlerBaseCommit` stamped to the list repo's current HEAD.
+
+The host task **never gets a worktree of its own** — the handler commits straight into the
+list's working dir and merges the tasks it handles itself. Consequences:
+
+- `SubmitTaskForReview` branches on whether the task has a `WorktreeEntity`: with one, it
+  commits the worktree; without one, it stamps `HandlerHeadCommit` to the list repo's current
+  HEAD. Both paths then flip the task `Idle`/`Failed` → `WaitingForReview`.
+- `GetTaskDiff` and the UI's `DetailsIslandViewModel` / `MergeSectionViewModel` fall back to the
+  `HandlerBaseCommit`..`HandlerHeadCommit` range whenever `Worktree` is null.
+
+### UI flow
+
+`MergeHelperSelectionModalViewModel` — checkbox picker over one list's non-terminal, non-manual
+tasks, pre-ticking 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`, which calls
+`CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync` and then opens a **task-based** tile (deduped by `TaskId` like
+`OpenConPtySessionAsync`, **not** `CreateAdHoc`) running the five-phase handler prompt.
+
+## Tile lifecycle
+
+`ConPtyPaneViewModel` resolves its own launch spec — the ctor takes a descriptor **factory**,
+the host wires handlers and then calls `Start()`. So the tile appears **immediately** with its
+spinner while the worker is still preparing the worktree. A failed launch keeps the tile with an
+inline error banner instead of the tile never appearing.
+
+`SubmitForReviewCommand.CanExecute` also gates on `Terminal.IsStarting` / `StartError` /
+`HasExited` (not just `IsTaskBased`) — a starting or dead pane can't offer a review it would only
+have the worker reject, and `MissionControlViewModel.OnPaneSubmitForReview` sets the pane's
+`IsSubmitPending` flag for the duration of the round trip so a rapid double-click can't race two
+`SubmitTaskForReviewAsync` calls. A failed launch also offers `RetryCommand` (visible whenever
+`HasExited && StartError != null`) — it swaps in a fresh `InteractiveTerminalViewModel` and calls
+`Start()` again on the **same** pane/`TaskId` dedupe slot, since `PtyTerminalSession` throws on a
+second `StartAsync` call and can't be restarted in place.
+
+### ⚠️ Gotcha: the terminal library kills its child on visual-tree detach
+
+`Iciclecreek.Avalonia.Terminal`'s `TerminalView.OnDetachedFromLogicalTree` calls
+`CleanupProcess()` (kills the PTY child) unless `BeginReparent()` suppressed it — and Mission
+Control detaches pane views routinely (`RebuildOverviewGrid` recreates everything on any pane
+add/remove/column change; focus-mode tab switches re-present content). Two-part defense (since
+`aac84e4`):
+
+1. `PtyTerminalSession.StartAsync` puts the control in **permanent reparent mode** right after
+   `LaunchProcess()` — `EndReparent` is deliberately never called. Teardown is explicit only:
+   `ConPtyPaneViewModel.Dispose` → `Terminal.Kill()` (pane close, VM disposal via DI on exit).
+2. `ConPtyPaneHost` (the DataTemplate content for a pane) reparents **one long-lived
+   `ConPtyPaneView` per pane VM** (`ConditionalWeakTable`, view pins its own `DataContext`)
+   instead of letting the template instantiate a fresh view — a fresh view would render a dead,
+   empty terminal because the running session is bound to the original `TerminalControl`.
+   Hosts only steal the view while `IsEffectivelyVisible`; the layout toggle posts a reclaim
+   pass (`MissionControlView.ReclaimVisiblePaneHosts`) so the now-visible layout re-steals.
+
+`Ellipse.spinner` (IslandStyles) is the shared indeterminate spinner — used for a starting pane
+(`InteractiveTerminalViewModel.IsStarting`) and in place of the refine button while
+`TaskRowViewModel.IsRefining`.
+
+### ⚠️ Gotcha: env-var launch race across sessions
+
+`PtyTerminalSession.StartAsync` applies `TerminalLaunchDescriptor.Env` via
+`Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable` onto the **whole UI process** (Porta.Pty has no per-launch
+env seam — it always inherits the calling process's environment), then calls
+`TerminalControl.LaunchProcess()`. Two sessions starting back-to-back (e.g. planning sessions for
+two different tasks) could interleave: task B's `SetEnvironmentVariable` calls could land between
+task A's env-set and its `LaunchProcess()` fork, so task A's `claude` process inherits B's env
+(e.g. `CLAUDEDO_PLANNING_TOKEN`) and fails its own MCP auth. Fixed by serializing the
+set-env-then-launch critical section behind a process-wide `static SemaphoreSlim(1,1)` in
+`PtyTerminalSession`. Env leakage onto the whole process *after* a launch has forked remains a
+documented limitation — only the fork-time race is closed.
+
+### ⚠️ Gotcha: open-path dedupe races
+
+`MissionControlViewModel.OpenConPtySessionAsync` / `OpenPlanningConPtySessionAsync` dedupe by
+`TaskId` against `ConPtySessions`, but the check ran before an **awaited** DB title lookup and
+only `AddConPtyPane` registers the pane — two rapid invocations for the same task (e.g. a
+double-click) could both pass the dedupe check before either pane existed, opening two panes.
+`OpenMergeHelperConPtySessionAsync` was worse: it awaits `CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync` (which mints
+a brand-new task id every call) *before* any `TaskId` dedupe is even possible, so a double-trigger
+always minted two host tasks in the DB.
+
+Fixed with synchronous, pre-await claims: `_pendingTaskOpens` (shared by the two `TaskId`-keyed
+open paths) and `_pendingMergeHelperLists` (keyed by `listId`, guarding the whole method since
+there's no `TaskId` yet to dedupe on) are `HashSet<string>` fields checked-and-added at method
+entry, before any `await`, and released in a `finally`. A second overlapping call for the same key
+bails out immediately instead of racing past the collection-based dedupe.
+
+## Focus / key handling
+
+`InteractiveTerminalView` lives in `MissionControlWindow`, so the `FocusClearing` Escape handler
+(scoped to `MainWindow` via `AddClassHandler<MainWindow>`) never runs there — **Escape always
+reaches the PTY**. See the note in `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md`.
+
+`TaskRowViewModel.HasInteractiveSession` shows an accent "Interactive" chip instead of "Parked";
+tapping it jumps to that Mission Control pane. `TasksIslandViewModel.SyncInteractiveSessions`
+mirrors Mission Control's open panes onto the rows.
+
+### Queueing is gated on an open session (UI-only, since `d84607f`)
+
+A task-based session leaves the row `Idle` (sessions never write `Status`), so nothing on the
+worker side distinguishes it from a plain idle task. `TaskRowViewModel.CanSendToQueue` and
+`MissionControlViewModel.EnqueueTaskAsync` (drag-to-queue onto the Command Center window) both
+check for an open session before queueing — the row via `HasInteractiveSession`, the drag path via
+`ConPtySessions.Any(s => s.TaskId == taskId)` (Mission Control's own authoritative pane list,
+since the mirrored bool on the row could lag). Queueing a task open in a hand-driven ConPTY pane
+would otherwise let the picker spawn an autonomous `claude` process into the same worktree the
+user is editing. Both enqueue paths (`TasksIslandViewModel.SendToQueueAsync` and
+`MissionControlViewModel.EnqueueTaskAsync`) also route through `IWorkerClient.SetTaskStatusAsync`
+(hub `SetTaskStatus` → `TaskStateService.EnqueueAsync`) instead of a raw EF write, so the
+manual/draft-child guards apply on both paths too.
+
+## System-prompt matrix (autonomous vs. interactive)
+
+Autonomous and interactive sessions do **not** share a system prompt. Per start path:
+
+| Start path | Entry point | System prompt |
+|---|---|---|
+| Autonomous run/continue/retry | `TaskRunner.ResolveConfigAsync` → `ClaudeArgsBuilder.Build` | `--append-system-prompt <text>`, recomputed and re-sent on **every** invocation including a `--resume` continue (`PromptKind.System` + improvement/list/task overrides) |
+| Interactive task session, fresh | `InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildForTaskAsync` → `BuildFreshTaskArgsAsync` | none — no `--append-system-prompt(-file)` at all |
+| Interactive task session, resume | `InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildForTaskAsync` → `WindowsTerminalLauncher.BuildResumeArgs` | none — only `--resume <id>` (+ `--effort`) |
+| Ad-hoc directory session | `InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildForDirectoryAsync` | none |
+| Planning session start | `InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildPlanningStart` → `WindowsTerminalLauncher.BuildPlanningStartArgs` | `--append-system-prompt-file <path>` (`PromptKind.Planning`) |
+| Planning session resume | `InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildPlanningResume` → `WindowsTerminalLauncher.BuildPlanningResumeArgs` | none — only `--permission-mode default --allowedTools <planning allowlist> --resume <id>` |
+| List handler ("Let Claude handle it"), triage | `InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildForMergeHelperAsync` | `--append-system-prompt-file <path>` (`PromptKind.MergeHelperTriage` — phases 0–2 only), always fresh — this path never resumes |
+| List handler, post-handoff | `InteractiveLaunchSpecService.BuildForMergeHelperHandoffAsync` | `--append-system-prompt-file <path>` (`PromptKind.MergeHelperExecute` — phases 3–5 only), fresh session dir, same handler task id |
+
+So every interactive resume (task session and planning) drops the system prompt entirely — it's
+not that they inherit the autonomous one, it's that **no** `claude` process on any resume path
+ever passes `--append-system-prompt(-file)`.
+
+### Does `--resume` bring back a prior `--append-system-prompt`? No.
+
+Checked by reading real session transcripts (`~/.claude/projects/<cwd>/<sessionId>.jsonl`) for
+several autonomous ClaudeDo task runs, including ones with multiple invocations (initial run +
+`ContinueAsync`/retry on the same session id, confirmed via that project's `task_runs` history).
+Grepped for the `PromptKind.System` default text ("You are completing one well-defined task
+autonomously...") and for any `"type":"system"` entry or `message.role == "system"` anywhere in
+those files: the prompt text only ever showed up as ordinary tool-result content (e.g. a task
+that happened to read `PromptFiles.cs`'s own source), never as a persisted system/config entry.
+No session transcript — autonomous or interactive — carries a system-role message or a
+per-session record of the CLI flags it was launched with; there is no sidecar file next to the
+`.jsonl` either. The system prompt is purely a per-process request parameter the CLI builds fresh
+from that invocation's own flags, never replayed from a resumed session's history. This matches
+why `TaskRunner.ContinueAsync` (autonomous) explicitly re-resolves and re-passes
+`--append-system-prompt` on every continue instead of relying on `--resume` to carry it —
+if inheritance worked, that re-resolution would be redundant.
+
+**Conclusion: no leak.** An interactive resume (task or planning) does not pick up the autonomous
+run's `--append-system-prompt` text — including the "commit your work" / `CLAUDEDO_BLOCKED`
+instructions from `PromptKind.System`. It simply runs with the `claude` CLI's own baseline system
+prompt, same as every other path in this table that passes no system-prompt flag. No code change
+needed here.

+# External MCP tool surface
+
+> **Explore-note — verify before trusting.** Distilled map of a subsystem, not authoritative.
+> Last verified against commit `20bce9b` (2026-08-06).
+> Drift check: `git log --oneline 20bce9b..HEAD -- src/ClaudeDo.Worker/External`
+> Stable structure only (no line numbers). See docs/explore-notes/README.md.
+
+Covers `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/External/` — the always-on MCP tools ClaudeDo exposes to general
+Claude sessions. Registered explicitly in `Program.cs`'s external app via `.WithTools<T>()`.
+Server name `claudedo`, registered globally by the installer's `RegisterMcpStep`, so callers
+need no `--mcp-config`.
+
+**Scope boundary:** these tools cover *starting* and *observing* sessions plus task/list CRUD
+and git/merge operations. They deliberately do **not** expose multi-turn control, planning
+session internals, or app-settings writes. Auth via an optional `X-ClaudeDo-Key` header.
+
+## Hard conventions (enforced by tests)
+
+1. **Every optional/filter parameter needs a C# default value** (e.g. `string? status = null`).
+   The MCP schema only marks a parameter optional when it has one — nullability alone does
+   not do it. `ExternalMcpToolSchemaTests` guards this by reflection.
+2. **No tool returns bare `Task` or a nullable payload directly.** An MCP client cannot tell
+   an empty/omitted response apart from a dropped one.
+   - *Write* tools return a small confirmation record — `{ ok/deleted/removed/reset/started:
+     true, <id>, ... }` (`DeleteListResult`, `RunTaskNowResult`, `ResetFailedTaskResult`,
+     `RemoveAttachmentResult`; `SetListConfigResult` / `SetTaskConfigResult` additionally echo
+     the resulting config so the caller can see which fields were set vs. cleared to null).
+   - *Read* tools that may have nothing to return use an explicit `Found` / `Available` flag
+     alongside the nullable payload (`TaskConfigResult`, `BatchGetTaskResult`, `TaskLogResult`).
+   - The same flag-alongside-nullable-payload idiom also covers "which of two shapes did you
+     get": `ListTasks`/`BatchGetTasks` take `includeDescription` (default `false`) and return
+     `ListTasksResult`/`BatchGetTaskResult`, where exactly one of the lean (`TaskRefDto`) and
+     full (`TaskDto`, incl. Description/Result) fields is populated per the flag — keeps a
+     list of verbosely-described tasks from blowing past the response size limit by default.
+3. **Description style is documented in `McpToolDocs`** (same folder) and shared boilerplate
+   lives there as `const` strings. Rules: the first sentence says what the tool does *and* when
+   to reach for it (MCP clients rank tools by that text, so the trigger must not sit behind
+   return-shape prose); parameters are documented with `[Description]` **on the parameter**, not
+   in the tool description; result fields appear only where the caller must branch on them
+   before calling (`isEmpty`, `truncated`, `conflicts`, `available`); no design rationale or
+   "since this feature was introduced" history. Not test-enforced — review it in PRs.
+4. `ExternalMcpExceptionFilter.Wrap` is registered as a call-tool filter so
+   `InvalidOperationException` / `ArgumentException` messages survive as `McpException` —
+   otherwise the SDK's catch-all replaces any non-`McpException` with a generic
+   *"An error occurred invoking 'X'."*
+
+## Tool classes
+
+### `ExternalMcpService` — task CRUD, execution, git
+
+Task: `ListTaskLists`, `ListTasks`, `GetTask`, `AddTask`, `AddSubtask`, `UpdateTask`,
+`UpdateTaskStatus`, `ReviewTask`, `RunTaskNow`, `ContinueTask`, `CancelTask`, `DeleteTask`.
+(`GetTaskStatusValues` was removed — a whole tool entry for static reference text. `GetTask`'s
+description is now the canonical place for what each status means.)
+
+Worktree/git: `GetTaskWorktree`, `GetTaskDiff`, `MergeTask`, `ContinueMerge`, `AbortMerge`,
+`PreviewMerge`, `PreviewMergeSet`, `RevertMerge`, `ListWorktrees`, `CleanupTaskWorktree`.
+
+Daily prep: `GetDailyPrepCandidates`, `SetMyDay`.
+
+### Other classes
+
+| Class | Tools |
+|---|---|
+| `BatchMcpTools` | `BatchGetTasks`, `BatchAddTasks`, `BatchUpdateTaskStatus`, `BatchCancelTasks`, `BatchDeleteTasks`, `BatchSetMyDay`, `BatchCleanupTaskWorktrees` |
+| `ListMcpTools` | `CreateList`, `UpdateList`, `DeleteList` |
+| `ConfigMcpTools` | `GetListConfig`, `SetListConfig`, `GetTaskConfig`, `SetTaskConfig`, `GetEffectiveRunConfig` |
+| `RunHistoryMcpTools` | `ListRuns`, `GetRun`, `GetTaskLog` |
+| `AgentMcpTools` | `ListAgents` |
+| `LifecycleMcpTools` | `ResetFailedTask` |
+| `AppSettingsMcpTools` | `GetAppSettings` (read-only) |
+| `TaskWaitMcpTools` | `WaitForTaskChange` |
+| `QueueStateMcpTools` | `GetQueueState` |
+| `AttachmentMcpTools` | `AddTaskAttachment`, `ListTaskAttachments`, `RemoveTaskAttachment` |
+
+## Per-tool behaviour worth knowing
+
+**`ListTasks`** — `includeDescription=false` (default) returns lean `TaskRefDto` references in
+`tasks` (`tasksFull` null); `includeDescription=true` returns full `TaskDto`s (incl.
+Description/Result) in `tasksFull` instead (`tasks` null). Filtering by `createdBy`/`status`
+happens before the lean/full projection either way.
+
+**`UpdateTaskStatus`** accepts `Idle` / `Queued` / `Cancelled` / `Done` only.
+- `Cancelled` goes through `TaskStateService.CancelAsync(..., allowFromIdle: true)` — the
+  **only** caller that opts into cancelling from `Idle`. `PlanningChainCoordinator` relies on
+  `Idle` staying a no-op there by default, because a child parked back to `Idle` mid-chain is
+  a manual opt-out signal.
+- `Done` goes through `TaskStateService.ForceSetStatusAsync` (the same unconditional write the
+  UI's "set status freely" affordance uses) but is **refused** for a task with an active
+  worktree, since that would skip `review_task`'s merge.
+
+**`AddTask`** — always creates the task; also returns `possibleDuplicates` (up to 3, id/title/status
+only, no descriptions) — open (non-terminal) tasks in the *same list* whose normalized title
+overlaps strongly with the new one. Cheap word-overlap heuristic (`ExternalMcpService`'s
+`FindPossibleDuplicatesAsync`/`NormalizeTitleWords`), no embeddings/LLM call, no blocking —
+the caller just gets a heads-up to relay. `BatchAddTasks` carries the same field per item.
+
+**`ReviewTask`** — `approve` / `reject_rerun` / `reject_park` / `cancel` for a
+`WaitingForReview` task. Approve is review+merge exactly like the hub's `ApproveReview`: unit
+merge for parents, worktree merge into optional `targetBranch` for childless tasks. Conflicts
+are reported in `ReviewTaskResult`.
+- A parent's approve also returns `emptyChildren`: the `Done` children about to be unit-merged
+  whose own review range contributed nothing (computed the same way as `PreviewMerge`'s
+  `isEmpty`, before the merge starts so it reflects what's about to be approved). Surfaces a
+  child that reported `CLAUDEDO_BLOCKED` and committed no code — previously that child reached
+  `Done` and merged silently with `changedFileCount: 0`, indistinguishable from a small-but-real
+  change. `TaskRefDto.roadblockCount` (on every task-returning tool, stamped by `TaskRunner` from
+  `result.Blocks.Count`) is the MCP-visible signal for *why* a child is empty.
+
+**`PreviewMerge`** — non-destructive `git merge-tree --write-tree` mergeability check for one
+task's worktree branch against `targetBranch` (default: the repo's current branch). Returns
+status / conflictFiles / changedFileCount / `behind` / `isEmpty`. Unlike
+`TaskMergeService.PreviewAsync`'s silent *"unavailable"*, this **throws a clear error** when the
+task has neither an active worktree nor a handler commit range, or the list's working dir is
+missing.
+- `isEmpty` = the review range contributed nothing — zero files changed against the worktree's
+  base commit, or (for a worktree-less list-handler host task) `HandlerBaseCommit ==
+  HandlerHeadCommit`. Distinguishes a genuinely empty branch from one that merely made a small
+  change (`changedFileCount: 0` alone reads as "tiny", not "nothing to review") — the gap that
+  let two blocked planning children reach `Done` with unmerged empty branches unnoticed.
+- A worktree-less handler task has no separate branch to `merge-tree`-preview (its commits
+  already sit in `list.WorkingDir`) — `PreviewMergeCoreAsync` falls back to a synthetic `clean`
+  preview over its own `HandlerBaseCommit..HandlerHeadCommit` diff-stat instead of throwing
+  "has no worktree".
+
+**`PreviewMergeSet`** — same preview for a batch (each entry also carries `isEmpty`), plus a
+file→tasks overlap report built from each task's own diff-stat. ⚠️ That overlap report is a
+**same-file-name hint only** — it is blind to cross-file collisions (e.g. the CS0103 case that
+motivated it). A task that fails to preview gets `error` set and is excluded from the overlap
+instead of aborting the batch.
+
+**`RevertMerge`** — undoes a previously merged task's merge commit on `targetBranch` via
+`git revert -m 1`. Always a **new commit**, never a reset/rewrite, because the target working
+directory is shared with other concurrent sessions.
+- Requires the task to be `Done` with a `Merged` worktree carrying a recorded
+  `WorktreeEntity.MergeCommit`. A task merged before that field existed has none and is
+  **refused rather than guessed** via `git log`.
+- On success the task returns to `WaitingForReview` and the worktree moves to `Kept` — not
+  `Active` (its directory/branch are typically already gone from the original merge's cleanup)
+  and not `Merged`/`Discarded` (`WorktreeMaintenanceService` sweeps those).
+- A conflicting revert is aborted immediately; no half-resolved state is left in the tree.
+
+**`BatchMcpTools`** — best-effort loops over the `ExternalMcpService` single-entity methods.
+**Sequential**, because the scoped `DbContext` is not thread-safe. Merge/review stay
+single-task. Every tool returns a per-item result array (`{ id/index, ok, error?, … }`) — a
+failing item never aborts the rest — and rejects batches over **100 items**.
+`BatchGetTasks` mirrors `ListTasks`'s `includeDescription` flag (default `false`): a found item's
+`BatchGetTaskResult` carries `task` (lean) or `taskFull` (full), never both.
+
+**`GetTaskLog`** — latest run's log, tail-capped at 256 KB.
+
+**`WaitForTaskChange(taskIds, timeoutSeconds = 60, treatWaitingForChildrenAsBusy = false)`** —
+blocks until any given task leaves `Queued`/`Running`, or times out. Returns immediately for a
+task already outside those two (unknown ids reported as status `"NotFound"`, also immediate).
+- Implemented as an **async DB poll** (short-lived `DbContext` per check, 500 ms delay, no
+  held connection, no busy loop) rather than hooking `HubBroadcaster` — deliberately isolated
+  so it can't regress the existing broadcast callers.
+- `timeoutSeconds` is clamped server-side to `TaskWaitMcpTools.MaxTimeoutSeconds` (900 s),
+  comfortably under the `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT` (930 s) every ClaudeDo-owned claude launcher sets —
+  `ClaudeProcess` for headless queue runs, `InteractiveLaunchSpecService` for every embedded
+  ConPTY session (list handler, planning, interactive resume) — so the tool reports
+  `timedOut: true` instead of racing the client's own abort. A caller running claude with a
+  different (or default: 60 s) `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT` will still see its own client-side timeout
+  fire first; the server has no way to detect or compensate for that.
+- **`treatWaitingForChildrenAsBusy` pitfall (default `false`, backward-compatible):** a planning
+  parent with children goes `Running` → `WaitingForChildren` while children are still working,
+  and by default that already counts as "changed" (it's outside `Queued`/`Running`) — so waiting
+  on a parent returns immediately even though the unit isn't done. Set the flag to keep polling
+  through `WaitingForChildren`; the call then only reports changed once the parent reaches
+  `WaitingForReview` or a terminal status. Does not list or watch the parent's children —
+  callers still need their own ids for that.
+- Replaced the list handler's old "sleep + poll `get_task` in a loop" Phase 3 instruction.
+
+**`GetQueueState()`** — read-only snapshot so a caller doesn't have to infer queue state from
+`maxParallelExecutions` or repeated `wait_for_task_change` rounds:
+`{ configuredSlots, effectiveSlots, activeSlots: [{ slot, taskId, startedAt }], waitingTaskIds }`.
+- `configuredSlots`/`effectiveSlots` reuse `QueueService.GetSlotCountsAsync` — the same
+  configured-vs-throttled computation `QueueService.ExecuteAsync` uses each tick (see
+  [usage-monitoring](usage-monitoring.md) for the throttle staging) — so this tool can't drift
+  from the queue's actual refill decision.
+- `activeSlots` reuses `QueueService.GetActive()` (already the source for the Hub's `GetActive`):
+  `slot` is `"queue"` for a normal queue slot or `"override"` for the single
+  `run_task_now`/`continue_task` slot.
+- `waitingTaskIds` is a fresh read-only query mirroring `QueuePicker.ClaimNextAsync`'s
+  eligibility filter and order (`Queued`, unblocked, non-manual, due, `sort_order` then
+  `created_at`) — it does not claim or mutate anything.
+
+**`AttachmentMcpTools`** — re-attaching the same `fileName` overwrites. Add/remove refuse on a
+`Running` task.
+
+**`GetDailyPrepCandidates`** — Idle, non-blocked tasks in a git repo **not** excluded by
+`AppSettings.ReportExcludedPaths` and not already `IsMyDay`, plus the current Idle MyDay tasks
+and `maxTasks` (= `DailyPrepMaxTasks`). Repo-exclusion logic lives in the `DailyPrepFilter`
+helper in the same file.
+
+**`SetMyDay`** — sets `IsMyDay` (+ optional `SortOrder`). A server-side cap-guard rejects
+turning on MyDay beyond `DailyPrepMaxTasks` open (Idle) MyDay tasks.
+
+**`GetEffectiveRunConfig`** — read-only report of what a task will *actually* run with (model,
+max turns, effort, permission mode, agent path, whether a system prompt is set, skill names),
+each with its source (`task`/`list`/`preset`/`global`); max turns additionally reports the raw
+requested value and whether it was clamped to `AppSettings.MaxTurnsCeiling`. Unlike
+`GetAppSettings`/`GetTaskConfig` (raw, possibly-unused config values), this goes through the same
+`EffectiveRunConfigResolver.Resolve` that `TaskRunner` itself runs with — see
+[worker-task-pipeline](./worker-task-pipeline.md)'s model/effort/max-turns section — so it can't
+drift from the real run. Reads (not writes) `AppSettingsRepository.GetAsync`, which backfills
+`model_presets` on first read after a null column; that backfill is pre-existing shared behavior,
+not a new side effect introduced by this tool.
+
+## Model / max-turns on task creation
+
+Task-generating tools (`AddTask`, planning `CreateChildTask`, `SuggestImprovement`) accept an
+optional `model`, alias-validated via `ModelRegistry.NormalizeAlias` (`haiku`/`sonnet`/`opus`,
+blank = inherit), so Claude can assign the cheapest capable model at creation time — the
+planning/system/improvement prompts instruct it to do so, using
+`ModelRegistry.ByCostAscending` as the cost order.
+
+Planning's `CreateChildTask` **additionally** accepts an optional `maxTurns` (positive int;
+`0`/negative rejected with `ArgumentException`, null = inherit list/global default) so the
+planner can raise the turn budget for a subtask it knows will run long.
+`SuggestImprovement` and `AddTask` do **not** expose it.

+## Implementation status (as of 2026-08-05)
+
+The research below (§1–5) led to an implementation, but it is **not on `main` yet** — it exists
+on two unmerged task branches:
+
+- `claudedo/06aca9b3afec4b939f59b627bfe21737` — `src/ClaudeDo.Installer/Checks/*`
+  (`GitCheck`, `GitIdentityCheck`, `WriteAccessCheck`, `PortCheck`, `ClaudeCliCheck`,
+  `ClaudeVersionCheck`, `ClaudeAuthCheck`, `PermissionModeAutoCheck`, `EnvironmentCheckService`,
+  `ClaudeCliLookup`) plus `SystemCheckPage` (the Fresh-Install wizard page hosting them) and its
+  own copy of `src/ClaudeDo.Data/Environment/ExecutableResolver.cs`.
+- `claudedo/40272c0bb3b14562b59c022d09c382b6` — the original `ExecutableResolver.cs`, plus wiring
+  it into `ClaudeDo.Worker`'s `ClaudeCliPreflight` and `ClaudeProcess` (the actual root-cause fix:
+  both used to spawn `claude` with `UseShellExecute = false` and no `.cmd`/`.bat` shim resolution,
+  so an npm-installed `claude.cmd` was invisible to the Worker even though it worked in a shell).
+
+The two branches were authored independently and each vendored its own copy of
+`ExecutableResolver.cs` (identical except `06aca9b3` adds a `FallbackDirectories()` diagnostic
+helper); merging both cleanly requires picking one copy, not literally running `git merge` twice.
+Two planned follow-up tasks — a "Claude Help Me" button and a Config-mode Diagnose section —
+never got past a blocked first step, precisely because this prerequisite work wasn't on `main`
+when they ran. See `Environment Checks` in `src/ClaudeDo.Installer/CLAUDE.md` and `docs/open.md`
+for the current gap and the manual verification checklist.
+
+What's confirmed as **matching the research below**: `ClaudeVersionCheck.MinimumVersion` is
+`2.1.220`, exactly the "verified-floor, not a proven minimum" constant from §3. `ClaudeAuthCheck`
+uses `claude auth status --json` exactly as recommended in §4, parsing only the `loggedIn` field.
+`PermissionModeAutoCheck` is the static "is `auto` listed in `--help`" check recommended in §2 —
+real org/model/plan eligibility is deliberately **not** checked, matching the recommendation not
+to build that (a real task run surfaces a startup rejection fast enough on its own). No .NET
+Desktop Runtime check was implemented as an `IEnvironmentCheck` (§5's registry-key detection
+remains a documented-but-unbuilt option, not currently gating anything).
+
+---
+
+Pure research, no code changed. Answers the five questions from the "Root Cause
+`--permission-mode auto`" task. Sources: the locally installed CLI (`claude --version` /
+`--help`), the official docs at `code.claude.com` (fetched 2026-08-05), and this repo's own
+csproj/workflow files.
+
+## 1. Why can `--permission-mode auto` fail?
+
+**It is very rarely a CLI-version problem.** Per the official permission-modes doc
+(`code.claude.com/docs/en/permission-modes#eliminate-prompts-with-auto-mode`), auto mode
+requires **all** of:
+
+- **Plan**: any plan (Free/Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise) qualifies in principle.
+- **Organization**: on Team/Enterprise, on by default; an admin can disable it org-wide via
+  `permissions.disableAutoMode: "disable"` in managed settings. When disabled this way, the CLI
+  **"rejects `--permission-mode auto` at startup"** (verbatim from the doc) — not a runtime
+  fallback, a hard reject.
+- **Model**: on the Anthropic API / Claude Platform on AWS — Opus 4.6+, Sonnet 4.6+, or Fable 5.
+  On Bedrock / Vertex / Foundry / signed-in gateway sessions — only Sonnet 5, Opus 4.7+, Fable 5.
+  Older models (Sonnet 4.5, Opus 4.5, Haiku, claude-3-*) are **not supported on any provider**.
+  A per-org `availableModels` restriction that only allows an old model would silently make
+  auto mode unavailable even on a Team/Enterprise org that hasn't touched `disableAutoMode`.
+- **Provider opt-in (historical)**: on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry/gateway, CLI **v2.1.158–v2.1.206**
+  required `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1`; **v2.1.207** removed that requirement. This does
+  **not** apply to a normal claude.ai / Console (Anthropic API) login — only to those four
+  provider types.
+
+A separate, easy-to-hit trap: `defaultMode: "auto"` in **project or local** settings
+(`.claude/settings.json`, `.claude/settings.local.json`) is silently **ignored** since v2.1.142
+— it must live in `~/.claude/settings.json` (user scope). A repo that ships `defaultMode: auto`
+in its own `.claude/settings.json` will start in Manual mode with **no error at all**. This
+doesn't apply to ClaudeDo's case (it passes `--permission-mode auto` as an explicit CLI flag,
+not via a checked-in settings file), but is worth knowing if the failure mode was "silently
+starts in Manual" rather than "CLI errors out".
+
+Quoted from the docs, verbatim: *"If Claude Code reports auto mode as unavailable, one of these
+requirements is unmet; this is not a transient outage."*
+
+**Not verifiable**: which of the above actually hit the colleague — we have no diagnostic from
+their machine (no `claude auth status --json` output, no `claude --version`, no org name). Do
+not guess; if this recurs, capture `claude auth status --json` and `claude --version` from the
+affected machine before further debugging.
+
+## 2. How to reliably detect whether `auto` is supported
+
+**Static, cheap, always safe (no API call):**
+- `claude --version` — semver string, e.g. `2.1.220 (Claude Code)`.
+- `claude --help` — the `--permission-mode <mode>` line lists the accepted enum. Confirmed by
+  testing an invalid value locally:
+  ```
+  $ claude -p "test" --permission-mode bogus
+  error: option '--permission-mode <mode>' argument 'bogus' is invalid. Allowed choices are
+  acceptEdits, auto, bypassPermissions, manual, dontAsk, plan.
+  ```
+  This is validated by the CLI's arg parser (Commander.js) **before any network call** — exits
+  1 immediately. So checking that `auto` is one of the listed choices is a legitimate, free,
+  fast static check — but it only proves the *flag* is recognized, **not** that auto mode is
+  actually usable (org/model/plan gating happens later, at session start, not at arg-parse time).
+- `claude auth status --json` — cheap, local/fast, **does not send a prompt**. Returns:
+  ```json
+  { "loggedIn": true, "authMethod": "claude.ai", "apiProvider": "firstParty",
+    "email": "...", "orgId": "...", "orgName": "...", "subscriptionType": "team" }
+  ```
+  This is the answer to question 4 (see below) and also gives `subscriptionType`/`orgName` —
+  useful context but **still not a direct "is auto mode eligible" answer** (doesn't report the
+  active model or `disableAutoMode` policy).
+
+**No cheap subcommand exists for full eligibility.** Checked `claude auto-mode --help`: it only
+has `config` (effective auto-mode *rule* config — allow/deny lists, not eligibility),
+`defaults` (same, shipped defaults), `critique`, and `reset`. None report plan/model/org
+eligibility. `claude doctor` (non-interactive) does **not** report auto-mode eligibility either
+— it explicitly says *"For a full setup checkup that can also fix issues, run `/doctor` in a
+session"*; the in-session `/doctor` slash command is the one the docs say proposes
+`defaultMode: auto` when eligible, but that requires an interactive session, not a scriptable
+preflight.
+
+**Dynamic (real probe) is the only way to fully confirm eligibility**, and per the docs an
+org-disabled or otherwise-ineligible account **rejects at startup** (fast, before any model
+turn) — so a probe doesn't have to be a full expensive run. A minimal probe such as
+`claude -p "ok" --permission-mode auto --max-turns 1 --output-format json` would fail fast on
+ineligibility (reject at startup) but still costs one real turn + tokens on the success path,
+and still requires a working prompt/response round trip on the happy path. **Recommendation**:
+don't build this into an automated preflight; a static version+flag check plus `auth status`
+covers the reliably-detectable ground, and a real first task run will surface an auto-mode
+rejection immediately and cheaply (fails at startup, not mid-task) if it's actually unavailable.
+**Implemented as:** `PermissionModeAutoCheck` (Warning) — the static flag-listed check only.
+
+## 3. Minimum CLI version for the flags ClaudeDo uses
+
+Flags used (from `ClaudeArgsBuilder` per `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/CLAUDE.md`): `--permission-mode
+auto`, `--effort`, `--agents`, `--json-schema`, `--append-system-prompt`, `--output-format
+stream-json --verbose`, `--resume`, and (installer) `claude mcp add --transport http --scope
+user`.
+
+**Not verifiable precisely.** All eight of these are foundational, long-established flags.
+The official changelog (`raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/claude-code/main/CHANGELOG.md`)
+only retains roughly the last ~40 entries (oldest visible: `2.1.181`); auto mode itself, and
+`--json-schema`/`--resume`/`mcp add --transport` all clearly predate that window (the earliest
+found reference is a *bug fix* mentioning "sessions created before v2.1.85" for `--resume`,
+implying `--resume` existed well before 2.1.85). There is no accessible source that pins an
+"introduced in vX" date for any of these eight flags — guessing one would violate the task's
+explicit instruction not to invent a source-less root cause.
+
+What **is** sourced, from the docs fetched 2026-08-05:
+- `--json-schema` + invalid-schema handling: before v2.1.205, an invalid schema was silently
+  ignored (returned unstructured text); v2.1.205 made it a hard `Error: --json-schema is not a
+  valid JSON Schema` exit. Not a "does it exist" gate, but changes error-handling behavior
+  ClaudeDo might currently rely on failing loudly.
+- `--output-format stream-json --verbose` + `system/init.capabilities` array requires v2.1.205+
+  (absent before). Not currently consumed by ClaudeDo per the Worker CLAUDE.md's stream handling
+  description, so not a hard requirement today.
+- `system/init.mcp_server_errors` field requires v2.1.219+. Not currently consumed by ClaudeDo.
+- Manual-mode label/`manual` alias requires v2.1.200+ — irrelevant, ClaudeDo passes `auto`
+  explicitly, never `manual`.
+- Auto mode's Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry/gateway opt-in-env-var requirement was removed in v2.1.207
+  — irrelevant for a direct claude.ai/Console login (this machine: `apiProvider: "firstParty"`).
+
+**Decided constant** (see below) is therefore **the newest version we can positively confirm
+works end-to-end on this machine** (`2.1.220`), not a proven theoretical minimum — because no
+lower true minimum is derivable from available sources without guessing.
+**Implemented as:** `ClaudeVersionCheck.MinimumVersion = new Version(2, 1, 220)` (Error).
+
+## 4. Detecting "CLI is logged in" without sending a prompt
+
+`claude auth status --json` (confirmed working, instant, no API/model call):
+```json
+{ "loggedIn": true, "authMethod": "claude.ai", "apiProvider": "firstParty",
+  "email": "...", "orgId": "...", "orgName": "...", "subscriptionType": "team" }
+```
+This is the CLI's own maintained answer — cheaper and more robust than parsing
+`.credentials.json` directly (format may be internal/undocumented and is a hard-blocked file
+for this task's own tooling; the docs page confirms it lives at
+`%USERPROFILE%\.claude\.credentials.json` on Windows but say nothing about its schema being a
+stable public contract). `claude auth status --text` is available for a human-readable variant;
+`--json` is the default and the right one for a preflight to parse.
+**Implemented as:** `ClaudeAuthCheck` (Error) — parses only the `loggedIn` boolean; any other
+field, or a non-zero exit code, or unparseable JSON, becomes `Unknown` rather than `Failed`.
+
+## 5. .NET runtimes required by the published `app\` / `worker\` artifacts
+
+From `.gitea/workflows/release.yml` (the only build/publish pipeline in this repo) and the two
+csproj files:
+
+- **`ClaudeDo.App`** (`net8.0`, Avalonia, `WinExe`) — published via
+  `dotnet publish ... -r win-x64 --self-contained true`. **Self-contained**: bundles its own
+  .NET 8 runtime. **No .NET runtime needs to be pre-installed** on the target machine for the
+  app itself.
+- **`ClaudeDo.Worker`** (`net8.0`, `Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web`, ASP.NET Core) — same treatment:
+  `-r win-x64 --self-contained true`. Also fully self-contained; no ASP.NET Core runtime needs
+  to be pre-installed.
+- **`ClaudeDo.Installer`** (`net8.0-windows`, WPF) is the one exception: published
+  `--self-contained false -p:PublishSingleFile=true` — **framework-dependent**. The csproj
+  comment explains why: *"the WPF runtime pack isn't distributed for cross-compile on Linux CI,
+  which made self-contained bundles crash on startup with AV in the apphost."* The target
+  machine **must** have the **.NET 8 Desktop Runtime (x64)** installed before running
+  `ClaudeDo.Installer.exe` — this is the actual runtime-preflight gap, not the app/worker.
+
+**How to check on a target machine**:
+- `dotnet --list-runtimes` — look for a `Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 8.0.x` line (Desktop
+  Runtime, required by the installer). Requires the `dotnet` CLI itself to be on PATH; not
+  guaranteed present on a fresh machine that never installed the SDK, only the runtime — in
+  that case `dotnet` may not exist at all even though the runtime DLLs do.
+- Registry fallback (works even without the `dotnet` CLI on PATH):
+  `HKLM\SOFTWARE\dotnet\Setup\InstalledVersions\x64\sharedfx\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App` —
+  each installed version is a subkey/value here. This is the standard documented detection
+  mechanism for .NET Desktop Runtime presence on Windows and is what most installer-detection
+  tooling (e.g. Squirrel, WiX bundles) uses instead of shelling out to `dotnet`.
+- **Not independently verified in this task**: the exact registry key shape wasn't inspected
+  live (would require reading `HKLM\SOFTWARE\dotnet\...` on this machine, which is standard
+  .NET installer-detection convention, but out of scope to screenshot/dump here since the task
+  is docs-only and this is a well-documented, non-project-specific Windows convention).
+  **Not implemented** as an `IEnvironmentCheck` — none of the shipped checks verify the Desktop
+  Runtime; if the Installer itself is running at all, .NET 8 Desktop Runtime is implicitly
+  present (framework-dependent publish would otherwise fail to launch).

+
+Covers the review→merge path: `TaskStateService` review transitions, `TaskMergeService`,
+`PlanningMergeOrchestrator`, the post-merge verify gate, and the UI conflict resolver.
+
+## Approve = merge the whole unit
+
+`ApproveReview` (hub) and `review_task` approve (MCP) are the **single** review+merge action.
+There is no separate "Merge all" entry.
+
+- **Task with children** → drives `PlanningMergeOrchestrator`: merges the parent worktree if
+  `Active`, then each `Done` child in order, then sets the parent `Done`. A mid-merge conflict
+  pauses for `ContinuePlanningMerge` / `AbortPlanningMerge`.
+- **Childless task** → `TaskMergeService.ApproveAndMergeAsync`. A conflict keeps the task in
+  `WaitingForReview`.
+- **No active worktree** (sandbox run) → straight to `Done`.
+
+Review transitions all live in `TaskStateService`: `SubmitForReviewAsync`,
+`SubmitForChildrenAsync`, `ApproveReviewAsync`, `RejectToQueueAsync`, `RejectToIdleAsync`,
+`ClearReviewFeedbackAsync`.
+
+`ReviewFeedback` (nullable string on `TaskEntity`) is the reviewer's rejection comment: set by
+`RejectToQueueAsync`, consumed and cleared by `QueueService` on the next re-run, where it
+becomes the next-turn prompt of the resumed Claude session.
+
+## Unified parent model
+
+Every parent — planning **or** improvement — flows
+`… → WaitingForChildren → WaitingForReview → Done`, advanced by the single
+`TaskStateService.TryAdvanceParentAsync`. It surfaces any `WaitingForChildren` parent for
+review once all children are terminal; failed/cancelled children are **annotated on the
+result, not wedged**.
+
+- A planning parent enters `WaitingForChildren` at `FinalizePlanningAsync` (or
+  `WaitingForReview` directly if it has no children).
+- An improvement parent enters it from `TaskRunner.HandleSuccess` when its run spawned children.
+- Planning/improvement **children** go straight to `Done` — no individual review. Only the
+  parent is reviewed.
+
+A child that hits a roadblock (fails, or reports `CLAUDEDO_BLOCKED` roadblocks) does **not**
+advance the parent — the parent stays in `WaitingForChildren` until every child is terminal.
+The UI surfaces blocked children on the parent's Session tab (`ChildOutcomes` + a "children
+need attention" band) so the roadblock is visible without forcing a transition.
+
+A blocked planning/improvement child still goes straight to `Done` per the unified parent model
+above — it committed nothing, but nothing prevents its (empty) branch from being unit-merged
+like any other `Done` child once the parent is approved. The MCP surface has no UI equivalent of
+`ChildOutcomes`, so `review_task`'s approve on a parent additionally returns `emptyChildren` (the
+`Done` children whose review range is empty) and every task-returning tool exposes
+`TaskRefDto.roadblockCount` → [external-mcp.md](external-mcp.md) → `ReviewTask`/`PreviewMerge`.
+An empty branch is still mergeable by design (some tasks — e.g. an audit — legitimately produce
+no diff); this is a visibility fix, not a merge gate.
+
+## Cancel is blocked while a unit merge is draining
+
+`ApproveReview` on a task with children awaits `PlanningMergeOrchestrator.StartAsync` /
+`DrainAsync` synchronously — the parent sits in `WaitingForReview` for the whole (potentially
+minutes-long, one-child-at-a-time) drain. Without a guard, a concurrent `CancelReview` (UI or
+`update_task_status`/`cancel_task` via MCP) could flip the parent to `Cancelled` mid-drain while
+the orchestrator kept merging children's worktrees onto the target branch; `FinalizeParentDoneAsync`
+then finds the parent no longer `WaitingForReview` and gives up, leaving the merged children's
+diffs stranded with no rollback.
+
+`TaskStateService.CancelAsync` now rejects with a `TransitionResult` reason whenever
+`PlanningMergeOrchestrator.HasActiveMerge(taskId)` is true for the task being cancelled, before any
+DB write. Cycle note: `TaskStateService` can't take a direct constructor dependency on
+`PlanningMergeOrchestrator` (which itself depends on `ITaskStateService`), so it takes a lazily-resolved
+`Func<IActiveMergeState>` instead — same cycle-breaking shape as the existing `Func<ITaskStateService>`
+handed to `PlanningChainCoordinator`. `IActiveMergeState` (`Planning/Interfaces/`) is `PlanningMergeOrchestrator`'s
+only public surface `TaskStateService` needs.
+
+The UI mirrors this as polish: `DetailsIslandViewModel.IsMergeDraining` (set on
+`PlanningMergeStartedEvent`, cleared on `PlanningMergeAborted`/`PlanningCompleted` for the bound
+task) gates `CancelReviewCommand`'s `CanExecute` — same shape as `WorktreesOverviewModalViewModel.IsMerging`
+gating `CanMergeAll`. The worker-side guard remains the actual correctness fix; the button gate
+just avoids inviting a click the worker would reject. `CancelReviewAsync`'s catch now raises
+`ErrorReported` (→ shell `FlashFooterError`) instead of swallowing the rejection silently.
+
+## Post-merge verify gate
+
+A list can set `ListConfigEntity.VerifyCommand` (List Settings modal → Verification).
+Null/blank (the default) = **no gate**, behavior bit-identical to before the feature existed.
+
+When set, `TaskMergeService` runs it via `VerifyCommandRunner` (`cmd.exe /c <command>`,
+10-minute fixed timeout, output tail-captured) in `list.WorkingDir` right after a successful
+`MergeNoFfAsync` / `ContinueMergeAsync` **and** worktree cleanup, but **before** the task is
+allowed to reach `Done`.
+
+| Outcome | Effect |
+|---|---|
+| Exit 0 | Unchanged flow — worktree `Merged`, task `Done` if it was `WaitingForReview`. |
+| Non-zero exit or timeout | The git merge is **deliberately left in place** (no auto-revert — that's a separate, unbuilt feature). The worktree is still marked `Merged` (it's already gone from disk when `removeWorktree` was requested), but the task stays out of `Done`. |
+
+On failure `MergeResult.Status` comes back `TaskMergeService.StatusVerifyFailed`
+(`"verify_failed"`) with an output excerpt in `ErrorMessage`. This flows through
+`MergeResultDto` (hub) and `ReviewTaskResult` (`review_task`) unchanged, because both already
+treat any non-`blocked`/`conflict` status generically. All three UI merge entry points handle it
+explicitly (detail-pane Approve, merge modal, worktrees batch) — a generic fallback there showed
+the raw status string instead of the failure.
+
+**Worktree-less approvals are gated too.** A task with no active `WorktreeEntity` — a sandbox run,
+or a list-handler task that commits straight into `list.WorkingDir` — skips the merge entirely,
+but `ApproveAndMergeAsync` still runs the verify command (same per-repo gate, working dir =
+`list.WorkingDir`) before the task may reach `Done`. Without that, the run that lands the most on
+the target branch at once would be the one run nothing checks.
+
+**Serialization:** a process-wide `ConcurrentDictionary<string, SemaphoreSlim>` keyed by
+`list.WorkingDir` serializes `MergeAsync` / `ContinueMergeAsync` (git ops + verify) per repo,
+so a verify run can't be interrupted by a second merge landing in the same working dir
+mid-build.
+
+## `MergeCommit` and revert
+
+`WorktreeEntity.MergeCommit` (nullable) is the SHA of the merge commit this worktree's branch
+produced on the target branch. Stamped by `TaskMergeService` the moment a merge/continue-merge
+succeeds, written **only** by `WorktreeRepository.SetMergedAsync` (which atomically sets
+`State=Merged` and stamps the SHA in one update).
+
+It is the only thing that makes `revert_merge` possible without heuristically searching
+`git log` — see [external-mcp.md](external-mcp.md) → `RevertMerge`. Null for any worktree
+merged before the field existed.
+
+## Review gate in the UI
+
+**Approve & Merge is gated behind opening the diff.** When there is something to inspect
+(worktree diff / merged range / children combined diff), the button stays disabled until the
+diff or combined-diff viewer has been opened once. The gate **re-locks per run** — any state
+change resets it. Tasks with nothing to inspect are never gated.
+
+The row-level quick-approve in the task list is an **intentional bypass**.
+
+Implementation: `MergeSectionViewModel` owns merge-target selection, the mergeability
+indicator (`MergePreviewPresenter` over `PreviewMergeAsync`), and `OpenDiffAsync` /
+`ReviewCombinedDiffCommand` — both build a `DiffViewerViewModel`, call `ShowDiffViewer`, and
+fire the `DiffViewed` callback. `HasReviewableDiff` reports whether anything is inspectable
+and feeds the gate.
+
+## Conflict resolver (in-app Rider-style 3-pane merge editor)
+
+`ConflictResolverViewModel` + `Views/Conflicts/ConflictResolverView`. Handles **both**
+single-task and planning unit-merge conflicts.
+
+### Model
+
+Single-task mode starts the conflict merge, then parses each conflicted file into stable and
+conflict `MergeFileSegment`s via the worker's `GetMergeConflictDocuments`. Types live in
+`ConflictModels`: `MergeFile` / `MergeFileSegment` / `MergeConflictBlock`.
+
+Exposed per active file: `ActiveOursText` / `ActiveResultText` / `ActiveTheirsText`
+(reconstructed 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-file `PositionText` readout,
+per-block `AcceptOurs/Theirs/Both/Base` + `MergeFile.Compose`, and `CanContinue` gated on
+**every file resolved + no binary**. Each file is written via `WriteConflictResolution`.
+
+**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.
+
+**Except when an MCP session is driving the merge.** `PlanningMergeOrchestrator.StartAsync` takes
+an `externallyDriven` bool (default `false`; `ExternalMcpService.review_task`'s parent-with-children
+path passes `true`, since a running Claude session — not the UI — will resolve conflicts via
+`continue_merge`/`abort_merge`). The flag rides along on the `PlanningMergeConflict` broadcast
+(4th arg); `IslandsShellViewModel.OnPlanningMergeConflict` only auto-opens the resolver when it's
+`false` — otherwise it shows a persistent, non-auto-dismissing banner
+(`IsExternalMergeBannerVisible`) with a manual "Open resolver" button, cleared on
+`PlanningMergeAborted`/`PlanningCompleted`. This exists because two parties (a human and the
+driving session) could otherwise end up editing the same shared checkout at once.
+`PlanningMergeOrchestrator.GetActiveExternalConflictsAsync` (hub: `GetActiveExternalPlanningMergeConflicts`)
+re-derives this state by checking `GitService.IsMidMergeAsync` rather than trusting the in-memory
+flag alone, so a UI restart mid-merge (or a stale entry left behind if something resolved the
+repo outside the normal Continue/Abort path) can't show a phantom banner — the Ui calls it on
+`ConnectionRestoredEvent`. The childless single-task conflict path
+(`TaskMergeService.ApproveAndMergeAsync`) has no equivalent broadcast — it only sends the generic
+`TaskUpdated` — so it never auto-opened the resolver and needed no change.
+
+### View
+
+Three **AvaloniaEdit** panes showing the whole file: MAIN/ours (read-only) | editable Result |
+INCOMING/theirs (read-only). TextMate highlighting by extension (theme `StyleInclude` in
+`App.axaml`).
+
+- A code-behind `IBackgroundRenderer` tints each conflict block (unresolved/resolved) across
+  panes. Tints live in `Tokens.axaml` (`Merge*TintBrush`).
+- 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**.
+- `FilesSummary` shows how many files still have conflicts. 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. Useful for long files.
+
+### Entry points
+
+Review **Approve** on conflict, and the **Merge** button in the Diff window (a conflicting
+`MergeTask` hands off via `RequestConflictResolution`).
+
+## Hub methods
+
+- Review/merge: `ApproveReview(taskId, targetBranch) -> MergeResultDto`,
+  `ContinuePlanningMerge` / `AbortPlanningMerge`, `PreviewMerge(taskId, targetBranch) ->
+  MergePreviewDto`, `RejectReviewToQueue`, `RejectReviewToIdle`, `CancelReview`, `MergeTask`,
+  `GetMergeTargets`
+- Single-task conflict resolver: `StartConflictMerge`, `GetMergeConflictDocuments`,
+  `WriteConflictResolution`, `ContinueConflictMerge`, `AbortConflictMerge` — note the
+  service-level `TaskMergeService.ContinueMergeAsync` / `AbortMergeAsync` keep their own names.
+- Broadcast events: `PlanningMergeStarted`, `PlanningSubtaskMerged`, `PlanningMergeConflict`,
+  `PlanningMergeAborted`, `PlanningCompleted`
+
+## Diff stack (UI)
+
+`UnifiedDiffParser` (static) parses `git diff` output into `DiffFileViewModel`s, detecting
+added/deleted/renamed/binary files and per-line numbers. `DiffModels.cs` holds the shared types
+(`DiffLineViewModel`, `DiffFileViewModel`, `DiffLineKind`, `DiffFileStatus`, `SubtaskDiffRow`,
+`DiffTreeNodeViewModel`, `DiffTree`).
+
+`DiffViewerViewModel` is one unified read-only viewer with two modes:
+- **Files** — dirty worktree / branch-vs-base / commit-range. Loads via `GitService`, folder
+  file-tree left + per-file diff pane right, Merge button for a live branch source.
+- **Planning** — per-subtask diffs via `GetPlanningAggregateAsync`, subtask list left + one
+  editor per file right (`PlanningFiles`), combined integration-branch toggle.
+
+Both modes render through `DiffAlignment` (pure — pairs diff lines into side-by-side rows and
+computes word-diff spans) and `DiffTextView` (AvaloniaEdit + TextMate highlighting keyed off the
+file extension, unified/split layout, optional line wrap, synced scrolling). Files mode hosts one
+`DiffTextView` for the selected file; Planning mode hosts one per file in `PlanningFiles` so each
+gets its own grammar (one editor can only carry one TextMate grammar). The split/wrap toggles
+persist to `ui.config.json` via `AppSettings` and reach the per-file editors in Planning mode
+too.

+
+Covers `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Usage/`, the queue's throttle/gate integration, per-run token
+accounting, and the UI surfaces (usage pill + usage monitor modal).
+
+## Data source
+
+`GET https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage` — an **undocumented** Anthropic endpoint,
+authenticated with the Bearer access token Claude Code itself keeps fresh at
+`~/.claude/.credentials.json`. ClaudeDo reads that token, never refreshes it, never logs it.
+
+Because the endpoint is undocumented and can change without notice, **every consumer
+fails open**. That is the single most important invariant here.
+
+## Components (`Usage/`)
+
+| Type | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `UsageModels` | `UsageBucket` / `UsageLimitRow` / `UsageSnapshot`. `UsageBucket.Utilization` is already a 0–100 percent — compare directly against thresholds, don't rescale. |
+| `ClaudeOAuthUsageClient` | Reads the token, calls the endpoint. Defensive parsing: missing/null buckets → null, missing `limits` → empty list. |
+| `UsageState` | Threadsafe singleton. A failed poll **never** overwrites the last good snapshot — it only sets `LastError`. |
+| `UsageMonitorService` | `BackgroundService`; polls on `usage_poll_interval_seconds` (default 60, clamped to min 15 on config load), one poll at startup. Logs a failure at most once per distinct error message. Broadcasts `HubBroadcaster.UsageUpdated` after **every** tick, success or failure. |
+| `UsageSnapshotBuilder` | Builds the Hub-facing `UsageSnapshotDto` from `UsageState` + `IUsageGate` + `AppSettings`. The one shared place for stale/threshold/gate logic — `WorkerHub.GetUsageSnapshot` and `UsageMonitorService` must not diverge. |
+| `UsageGate` | Hard pause decision → `UsageGateDecision(IsBlocked, Reason)`. |
+| `UsageThrottle` | Pure static staging of parallelism ahead of the gate. |
+| `TranscriptUsageReader` | Aggregates token usage from Claude Code transcripts. |
+
+Interfaces in `Usage/Interfaces/`: `IUsageClient`, `ITranscriptUsageReader`, `IUsageGate`.
+
+## The gate (hard pause)
+
+Thresholds: `AppSettings.UsageGateFiveHourPct` / `UsageGateSevenDayPct` (defaults 80/90).
+Blocked once `five_hour >= UsageGateFiveHourPct` **or** `seven_day >= UsageGateSevenDayPct`
+(`>=`, not `>`). Threshold `0` = that bucket never gates.
+
+What it pauses: **only the queue's slot-fill loop** — new queued tasks don't start.
+Unaffected: already-running runs, `RunNow`, `ContinueTask`, interactive ConPTY sessions,
+planning sessions, daily prep (all bypass the queue).
+
+**Fail-open**: no snapshot yet, a failed last poll, or an app-settings read error all
+resolve to not-blocked.
+
+There is **no persistent pause state**. Recovery is just the queue's 30 s backstop timer
+(`queue_backstop_interval_ms`) re-evaluating the gate on its own once usage drops back
+under the threshold. A blocked↔free transition is logged and broadcast (`WorkerLog`, Warn
+on block / Info on resume) exactly **once per change**, not every tick.
+
+## The throttle (staged parallelism)
+
+`UsageThrottle.EffectiveSlots(configuredSlots, fiveHourPct, fiveHourThresholds, sevenDayPct,
+sevenDayThresholds)` — pure static, no state. `UsageThresholds(SoftPct, HardPct, GatePct)` is the
+per-bucket triple (same file).
+
+Thresholds are **per bucket** (`usage_throttle_five_hour_{soft,hard}_pct` /
+`usage_throttle_seven_day_{soft,hard}_pct`, defaults 50/65 each) because the 5h and 7d windows fill
+at very different rates. Each bucket is staged independently and the **strictest** bucket wins —
+not "whichever is more utilized", so a bucket that is lower but tightly configured can be the one
+that throttles:
+
+| Utilization (per bucket) | That bucket's slots |
+|---|---|
+| below soft | full configured `max_parallel_executions` |
+| `>= softPct` | capped at 2 |
+| `>= hardPct` | capped at 1 |
+| `>= gatePct` | 0 — same hard block as `UsageGate` |
+
+A threshold of `0` disables that stage for that bucket, and a bucket with no reading (null) never
+throttles. The `0` return is deliberately kept in sync with `UsageGate`'s hard block because both
+read the same gate thresholds — change one, change both.
+
+Only **new** slot fills are affected; a run already occupying a slot when the stage tightens
+runs to completion. Same fail-open policy: no snapshot means no throttling.
+
+The effective stage (configured vs. effective slots + the decisive bucket, `ThrottleBucket`
+= `"five_hour"` / `"seven_day"`) rides along on `UsageSnapshotDto` purely for UI display.
+It does **not** change what the gate gates on.
+
+## Queue integration (`Queue/QueueService`)
+
+Per loop tick:
+
+1. `GetEffectiveMaxParallelAsync` reads `AppSettings.MaxParallelExecutions` and steps it
+   down via `UsageThrottle.EffectiveSlots` against the current `UsageState` snapshot.
+   A missing/failed snapshot fails open to the configured value. A **stage change** (not
+   every tick) logs once.
+2. Separately, `IUsageGate.EvaluateAsync` — if blocked, the slot-fill loop is skipped
+   entirely for that tick.
+
+## Per-run token accounting
+
+`task_runs` stores four raw token fields: `tokens_in` / `tokens_out` /
+`cache_read_tokens` / `cache_write_tokens`.
+
+These are **not** read from the stream-json `result` event's `usage.input_tokens` — that is
+only the uncached remainder of a single API call and undercounts the real prompt size by
+orders of magnitude once caching kicks in.
+
+Instead `TaskRunner.ApplyUsageAsync` calls
+`ITranscriptUsageReader.ReadSessionTotalsAsync(sessionId)` — the session transcript's
+cumulative raw totals across every assistant message, located by `{sessionId}.jsonl` — and
+stores the **delta** against prior `task_runs` rows sharing the same `session_id`, so a
+`--resume`'d run doesn't double-count turns already billed to an earlier run.
+
+A missing/unreadable transcript leaves all four fields `null`; it never fails the run.
+
+### `TranscriptUsageReader` details
+
+Reads `~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl`, aggregating by date / model / scope (ClaudeDo vs
+Other), deduped by `requestId`, with a per-file length+mtime cache.
+
+`ReadAsync` **skips any file whose mtime predates the window start minus one day** — it cannot hold
+a record inside the range, and the full history is large (measured 2026-08-06: 501 files / 230 MB /
+77k lines ≈ 1.7 s to parse cold; a 7-day range touches ~190 files / ~106 MB). The one-day slack
+absorbs local-vs-UTC skew between mtime and record timestamps. `ReadSessionTotalsAsync` is
+unaffected — it looks up a single `{sessionId}.jsonl`.
+
+`<synthetic>`-model lines are skipped **everywhere** — they are not real API calls.
+
+## UI surfaces
+
+- **`UsagePillViewModel`** — one shared instance backs the `UsagePill` control in both the
+  footer and the Mission Control header. Loads via `GetUsageSnapshotAsync`, updates live off
+  `IWorkerClient.UsageUpdatedEvent`. Dot state priority is mutually exclusive:
+  **blocked > stale > warn > normal**. `IsThrottled` (effective slots below configured, and
+  not gate-blocked) adds a tooltip line naming effective/configured slots + decisive bucket.
+  The pill's click handler (`IslandsShellViewModel.OpenUsageMonitor`) **shows the window before
+  loading** (`BeginLoad`) — awaiting the load first made the pill feel like a dead click, because
+  the first `GetModelUsage` per worker process scans the whole transcript history.
+- **Draggable stage markers** — each of the two real gauges carries three markers (soft/hard/gate).
+  `UsageGaugeBar` (`Views/Controls`) draws them against its own width and does the pointer work;
+  the math is a pure static, `UsageThresholdDrag` (in the modal VM's file), which keeps
+  soft ≤ hard ≤ gate and treats a neighbour of `0` as off. Release fires the row's
+  `CommitCommand` → read-modify-write via `GetAppSettings` + `UpdateAppSettings`, so only the
+  dragged bucket's three fields change. Plan-dependent `weekly_scoped` gauges are read-only.
+- **Legend = numeric editor.** Under each adjustable bar sit three legend rows whose colour swatches
+  match the markers (soft `TextDimBrush`, hard `StatusReviewBrush`, gate `StatusErrorBrush`), each
+  with a `NumericUpDown`. `NumericUpDown` has no commit command, so the box's `Tag`
+  (`soft`/`hard`/`gate`) plus two code-behind handlers (`LostFocus`, Enter) call the row's
+  `CommitSoft`/`CommitHard`/`CommitGate` command. Those run the typed value through the **same**
+  `UsageThresholdDrag.Apply` clamp as a drag, so a box can't invert the order and only the edited
+  stage moves. ⚠️ The `KeepLastNumber` converter is mandatory on those bindings — see the
+  `NumericUpDown` null gotcha in `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md`.
+  Rows are updated **in place** on each snapshot (keyed by limit kind) so a poll landing mid-drag
+  doesn't replace the bound instance.
+- **`UsageMonitorModalViewModel`** — opened from the pill. Renders one gauge **per row** in
+  `UsageSnapshotDto.Limits` — deliberately **dynamic**, because the `seven_day_opus` /
+  `seven_day_sonnet`-style buckets the raw API returns are plan-dependent and come back
+  `null` on plans that don't have them; a fixed gauge layout would break. Also shows model
+  usage (`GetModelUsageAsync`, ClaudeDo-vs-Other split per model) and top-task usage
+  (`GetTaskUsageAsync`) over a 7d/30d preset or custom range.
+
+## Hub surface
+
+- `GetUsageSnapshot() -> UsageSnapshotDto` — percentages/limits/`FetchedAtUtc` are null and
+  `IsStale=true` when no snapshot has landed yet. `IsStale` also trips on a failed last poll
+  or a snapshot older than 3× `usage_poll_interval_seconds`.
+- `GetModelUsage(from, to)` — thin wrapper over `ITranscriptUsageReader.ReadAsync`.
+- `GetTaskUsage(from, to)` — top consumers from `task_runs` joined to task/list, grouped per
+  task. Null token columns count as **0**, never drop the row. `Model` comes from that task's
+  most recent run. Sorted by total tokens descending, capped at 100.
+- `UsageUpdated` event carries the same `UsageSnapshotDto`.
+
+## Settings columns
+
+`app_settings`: `usage_gate_five_hour_pct` / `usage_gate_seven_day_pct` (80/90),
+`usage_throttle_five_hour_{soft,hard}_pct` / `usage_throttle_seven_day_{soft,hard}_pct` (50/65 per
+bucket). All six clamped 0..100 by `AppSettingsRepository.UpdateAsync`, which does **not** enforce
+soft ≤ hard ≤ gate — the ordering is a UI-side drag constraint, and an out-of-order stored config
+degrades instead of throwing. Worker config: `usage_poll_interval_active_seconds` /
+`usage_poll_interval_idle_seconds`.
+
+The gate percentages are editable in **two** places that both write the same `app_settings` row:
+Settings → General (typed) and the usage-monitor gauges (dragged). The throttle stages are
+gauge-only — `SettingsModalViewModel` therefore carries them load→save verbatim so saving Settings
+can't reset a dragged value.

+## Model, effort & max-turns resolution
+
+*(section added at commit `f6cb825`, 2026-08-05; resolver extraction added same day)*
+
+The resolution below lives in `Runner/EffectiveRunConfigResolver.Resolve` (not inlined in
+`TaskRunner` anymore) so `TaskRunner.ResolveConfigAsync` and the read-only
+`get_effective_run_config` MCP tool (`External/ConfigMcpTools.cs`) share one codepath and can't
+report different numbers for the same task. The tool additionally surfaces, per field, whether
+it came from the task/list/preset/global layer, and — for max turns — the raw requested value
+plus whether it was clamped.
+
+Step 6 builds the CLI args. Model and turn budget resolve like this:
+
+1. **Effective model** — task override → list config → `AppSettings.DefaultModel`.
+2. **Preset row** — `ModelPresets.For(global.ModelPresets, model, global.DefaultMaxTurns)`.
+   The model string is resolved through `ModelRegistry.TryNormalizeAlias` **first**, so a full
+   CLI model id (e.g. `claude-sonnet-4-6`, not just the bare `sonnet`/`opus`/`haiku`/`fable`
+   aliases) still hits its alias's preset row instead of missing every lookup. Only a model
+   that normalizes to nothing recognized falls back to a synthesized row using
+   `AppSettings.DefaultMaxTurns` — **never a hardcoded number, and it never throws**: an
+   unknown model must not block a run.
+3. The preset supplies `--effort` and the **global** max-turns default. Task/list `MaxTurns`
+   overrides still win over it.
+4. **Ceiling clamp** — `TaskRunner.ResolveMaxTurns` hard-clamps the resolved value to
+   `AppSettings.MaxTurnsCeiling` (default 80). An override above the ceiling still starts, just
+   capped, and a Warn logs the task id + requested + effective value.
+
+⚠️ **Trap:** if `app_settings.model_presets` is somehow null, the fallback path decides the turn
+budget — which is why `AppSettingsRepository.GetAsync` backfills shipping defaults on the first
+read after null. Ship preset turns are low (haiku 20, sonnet 30, opus 40, fable 25), so a task
+that genuinely needs a long run must set its own `MaxTurns`.
+
+Prompt composition: `TaskPromptComposer.Compose` injects attachment **absolute paths** as a
+read-only "## Reference files" section.

-## Bugs (verifiziert 2026-07-24)
+## Bugs (offen)
 
-- **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.
+- **Verwaiste git-Worktrees sind für die App unsichtbar** (gefunden 2026-08-06). In `C:\Private\ClaudeDo` waren nach dem Cleanup 22 git-registrierte Worktrees + 26 `claudedo/*`-Branches vorhanden, die ClaudeDo-DB kannte davon nur zwei. Die Worktrees-Übersicht listet ausschließlich Zeilen aus `worktrees`, also kann der Nutzer diese Reste nicht über die App entfernen — und es gibt keinen Sweep dafür (`OrphanRecovery` räumt nur Task-Zeilen auf, keine Worktrees). Wunsch: entweder ein Startup-Abgleich `git worktree list` ↔ DB, der Unbekannte als „untracked" in die Übersicht aufnimmt, oder mindestens eine Warnung mit Anzahl.
 
-## UX / Nits (verifiziert 2026-07-24)
+## UX / Nits (offen)
 
-- **„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.
+- **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.
+- **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.
 
-- **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.

Wunsch: klarer „Planning/Draft aktiv"-Zustand, der Idle überschreibt. (Kinder zeigen korrekt „Draft".) §3.

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.

-## Feature-Wünsche (aus der Session)
+- **Conflict-Resolver: farbliches Hervorheben eingefügter Zeilen im Result-Pane** (grüner „flow" der übernommenen Zeilen).
+- **Die Handler-Session soll „Submit for review" selbst auslösen können** (Sichtprüfung 2026-08-06). Aktuell ist der Abschluss eines List-Handler-Laufs ein reiner Handgriff über die Schaltfläche in der Mission-Control-Kachel — die Session selbst hat kein Werkzeug dafür, obwohl sie am besten weiß, wann sie fertig ist. Wunsch: ein MCP-Tool auf der In-Task-Oberfläche, das denselben Pfad wie der Button nimmt.
+- **Handoff-Kachel besser beschriften** (Sichtprüfung 2026-08-06). Die zweite Kachel heißt `Merge Helper — <Liste> (Handoff)` bzw. „(Übergabe)" (`missionControl.mergeHelperHandoffTitleSuffix`, en.json/de.json:297). „Handoff" ist internes Vokabular und sagt nicht, was die Session tut.

-- **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.

 - 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 jetzt tatsächlich verdrahtet (`ModelPresets.For(..., global.DefaultMaxTurns)` in `TaskRunner.ResolveConfigAsync`): reiner Fallback für ein Modell, das auch nach `ModelRegistry.TryNormalizeAlias` auf keine Preset-Zeile trifft — vorher war das Feld tot (hartkodierte 30). Hat weiterhin keinen eigenen Editor mehr (nur die Preset-Tabelle pro Modell); Spalte könnte später entfallen, falls das nie zutrifft.

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`.
+- ~~**`QueueServiceTests.UsageGate_TransitionLogging_FiresOncePerChange` ist zeitbasiert flaky**~~ — **am 2026-08-06 gefixt**: der feste `Task.Delay(200)` ist durch die schon im selben File vorhandene `AssertStableCountAsync` ersetzt (pollt bis der erste Backstop-Tick geloggt hat, wartet dann eine Karenzzeit und stellt sicher, dass kein weiterer Tick nachlegt). Historischer Befund zur Einordnung: Schlägt reproduzierbar fehl (`Expected 1, Actual 0` Warn-Log-Aufrufe), sowohl solo (`--filter`) als auch im Vollauf, auf einem sauberen `git worktree add` gegen `main` (bdee731) — also **kein** durch diese Abschluss-Session verursachter Regress (die Session hat keine `.cs`-Datei angefasst). Ursache: der Test verlässt sich auf einen festen `Task.Delay(200)`, um mehrere 50-ms-Backstop-Ticks abzuwarten (Kommentar im Test: „Several backstop ticks (50ms interval) all observe the same blocked state"); auf einer stark ausgelasteten Maschine (hier: viele parallele ClaudeDo-Worktrees/Builds) reicht das Fenster nicht immer. Zum Vergleich: derselbe Test lief in einer zweiten, isolierten Verifikation (Scratch-Merge für den Environment-Checks-Task) sauber durch (876/876).

+
+> **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:** A "Let Claude handle it" run records which tasks it processed, shows them as a list on the handler task's detail pane, and wears a HANDLER badge instead of MANUAL.
+
+**Architecture:** One new nullable column `TaskEntity.HandlerTaskId` (1:n, last run wins) stamped at handler-task creation from the selection the UI already passes down. The badge is a display-only computed property on `TaskRowViewModel`, driven by the existing `HandlerBaseCommit`. The panel reuses `ChildOutcomeRowViewModel` and the existing refresh path.

+
+## Task 1: Data — `HandlerTaskId` column and migration
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/ClaudeDo.Data/Models/TaskEntity.cs:60-61`
+- Modify: `src/ClaudeDo.Data/Configuration/TaskEntityConfiguration.cs:96-97` and `:127-131`
+- Create: `src/ClaudeDo.Data/Migrations/<timestamp>_AddHandlerTaskId.cs` (generated)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the property**
+
+In `src/ClaudeDo.Data/Models/TaskEntity.cs`, directly after the existing `HandlerHeadCommit` line (`public string? HandlerHeadCommit { get; set; }`), add:
+
+```csharp
+
+    // Id of the "list handler" run task that processed this task ("Let Claude handle it").
+    // 1:n and last-run-wins -- a second handler run over the same task overwrites it. Deliberately
+    // NOT ParentTaskId: that is the planning-child relation and drives the indented tree rendering.
+    // No FK: a deleted handler task must not cascade into the tasks it merely touched.
+    public string? HandlerTaskId { get; set; }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Map the column and index it**
+
+In `src/ClaudeDo.Data/Configuration/TaskEntityConfiguration.cs`, after the line
+`builder.Property(t => t.HandlerHeadCommit).HasColumnName("handler_head_commit");` add:
+
+```csharp
+        builder.Property(t => t.HandlerTaskId).HasColumnName("handler_task_id");
+```
+
+At the end of `Configure`, after the line
+`builder.HasIndex(t => t.BlockedByTaskId).HasDatabaseName("idx_tasks_blocked_by");` add:
+
+```csharp
+        builder.HasIndex(t => t.HandlerTaskId).HasDatabaseName("idx_tasks_handler_task_id");
+```
+
+Do **not** add a `HasOne`/`HasForeignKey` relationship — the column is intentionally FK-less.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Generate the migration**
+
+Run from the repo root:
+
+```bash
+dotnet ef migrations add AddHandlerTaskId --project src/ClaudeDo.Data/ClaudeDo.Data.csproj --startup-project src/ClaudeDo.Worker/ClaudeDo.Worker.csproj
+```
+
+Expected: creates `src/ClaudeDo.Data/Migrations/<timestamp>_AddHandlerTaskId.cs` + `.Designer.cs` and updates `ClaudeDoDbContextModelSnapshot.cs`. The `Up` method must contain exactly one `AddColumn<string>(name: "handler_task_id", table: "tasks", nullable: true)` and one `CreateIndex(name: "idx_tasks_handler_task_id", table: "tasks", column: "handler_task_id")`. If it contains anything else, another agent's uncommitted model change leaked in — delete the migration, coordinate, retry.
+
+If `dotnet ef` is unavailable, hand-author the migration + Designer mirroring
+`src/ClaudeDo.Data/Migrations/20260806111454_AddInteractiveSessionId.cs`, and add
+`Property<string>("HandlerTaskId").HasColumnType("TEXT").HasColumnName("handler_task_id");`
+plus the index to the `TaskEntity` builder in `ClaudeDoDbContextModelSnapshot.cs`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Build**
+
+Run: `dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.Data/ClaudeDo.Data.csproj -c Release`
+Expected: `Build succeeded`, 0 errors.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/ClaudeDo.Data/Models/TaskEntity.cs src/ClaudeDo.Data/Configuration/TaskEntityConfiguration.cs src/ClaudeDo.Data/Migrations
+git commit -- src/ClaudeDo.Data/Models/TaskEntity.cs src/ClaudeDo.Data/Configuration/TaskEntityConfiguration.cs src/ClaudeDo.Data/Migrations -m "feat(data): add handler_task_id to link handled tasks to their handler run"
+```
+
+⚠️ Always commit with explicit paths (`git commit -- <paths>`), never a bare `git commit` — the
+main checkout is shared with concurrent sessions.

+
+## Task 2: Data — `SetHandlerTaskIdAsync` repository method

+Expected: compile error — `TaskRepository` does not contain a definition for `SetHandlerTaskIdAsync`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the method**
+
+In `src/ClaudeDo.Data/Repositories/TaskRepository.cs`, directly after `SetHandlerHeadCommitAsync`, add:
+
+```csharp
+    // Links the tasks a "list handler" run processed back to the handler's own task, so the
+    // handler's detail pane can list them after the run. Stamped from the user's selection at

+- [ ] **Step 4: Run the tests to verify they pass**
+
+Run: `dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests.csproj -c Release --filter "FullyQualifiedName~TaskRepositoryHandlerLinkTests"`

+
+## Task 3: Worker — stamp the selection when the handler task is created
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Runner/InteractiveLaunchSpecService.cs:409-450`
+- Test: `tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/Runner/InteractiveLaunchSpecServiceTests.cs` (append a `[Fact]` in the `── CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync ──` region, currently starting at `:747`)
+
+Note: `CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync` already receives `IReadOnlyList<string> taskIds` — the UI →
+`IWorkerClient` → `WorkerHub` chain needs **no** change.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Append to `tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/Runner/InteractiveLaunchSpecServiceTests.cs` inside the same test class, after the existing `CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync_CreatesIdleManualTask_StampsHandlerBaseCommit` test:
+
+```csharp
+    [Fact]
+    public async Task CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync_StampsHandlerTaskIdOnSelectedTasks()
+    {

+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests.csproj -c Release --filter "FullyQualifiedName~CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync_StampsHandlerTaskIdOnSelectedTasks"`
+Expected: FAIL — `Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ … Actual: null`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Stamp the selection**
+
+In `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Runner/InteractiveLaunchSpecService.cs`, in `CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync`, replace:
+
+```csharp
+        await taskRepo.AddAsync(handlerTask, ct);

+
+with:
+
+```csharp
+        await taskRepo.AddAsync(handlerTask, ct);
+
+        // Link the selection back to this run BEFORE the session starts: the handler cancels
+        // duplicates in phase 1, and those still belong in the "what was this run supposed to do"
+        // list. Stamping later (e.g. at handoff) would lose them.
+        await taskRepo.SetHandlerTaskIdAsync(taskIds, handlerTask.Id, ct);
+
+        return handlerTask.Id;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run the test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests.csproj -c Release --filter "FullyQualifiedName~CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync"`

+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests.csproj -c Release --filter "FullyQualifiedName~TaskRowViewModelHandlerBadgeTests"`
+Expected: compile error — `TaskRowViewModel` has no `HandlerBaseCommit` / `IsHandlerRun` / `HandlerBadge`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the properties**
+
+In `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Islands/TaskRowViewModel.cs`, after the `_isManual` field
+declaration (`[ObservableProperty] private bool _isManual;`), add:
+
+```csharp
+    // Mirror of TaskEntity.HandlerBaseCommit -- non-null marks this row as a "list handler" run
+    // host task ("Let Claude handle it"), which wears HANDLER instead of MANUAL.
+    [ObservableProperty] private string? _handlerBaseCommit;
+```
+
+Replace the `ManualBadge` line (currently `public string? ManualBadge => IsManual ? Loc.T("tasks.badgeManual") : null;`) with:
+
+```csharp
+    public bool IsHandlerRun => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(HandlerBaseCommit);
+
+    public string? HandlerBadge => IsHandlerRun ? Loc.T("tasks.badgeHandler") : null;
+
+    // HANDLER outranks MANUAL: a handler host task is IsManual only so automation skips it, and
+    // "MANUAL" would read as a hand-written reminder. The two badges never show together.
+    public bool ShowManualBadge => IsManual && !IsHandlerRun;
+
+    public string? ManualBadge => ShowManualBadge ? Loc.T("tasks.badgeManual") : null;
+```
+
+Add a change hook next to the existing `OnIsManualChanged` partial method:
+
+```csharp
+    partial void OnHandlerBaseCommitChanged(string? value)
+    {
+        OnPropertyChanged(nameof(IsHandlerRun));
+        OnPropertyChanged(nameof(HandlerBadge));
+        OnPropertyChanged(nameof(ShowManualBadge));
+        OnPropertyChanged(nameof(ManualBadge));
+    }
+```
+
+Inside the existing `OnIsManualChanged`, next to the existing `OnPropertyChanged(nameof(ManualBadge));` line, add:
+
+```csharp
+        OnPropertyChanged(nameof(ShowManualBadge));
+```
+
+In `UpdateFromEntity`, after the line `IsManual          = t.IsManual;` add:
+
+```csharp
+        HandlerBaseCommit = t.HandlerBaseCommit;
+```
+
+Also add `HandlerBadge` to `RefreshLocalized`, next to the existing `PlanningBadge` line:
+
+```csharp
+        OnPropertyChanged(nameof(HandlerBadge));
+        OnPropertyChanged(nameof(ManualBadge));
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add the locale keys**
+
+In `src/ClaudeDo.Localization/locales/en.json`, after `"manualTip": ...` (line 164) add:
+
+```json
+    "badgeHandler": "HANDLER",
+    "handlerTip": "Handler run — see the tasks it processed in the detail pane",
+```
+
+In `src/ClaudeDo.Localization/locales/de.json`, after `"manualTip": ...` (line 164) add:
+
+```json
+    "badgeHandler": "HANDLER",
+    "handlerTip": "Handler-Run — die bearbeiteten Tasks stehen im Detailbereich",
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add the badge style and brush**
+
+In `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Design/IslandStyles.axaml`, after the line
+`<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ManualBadgeBrush"   Color="{StaticResource TextFaintColor}"/>` add:
+
+```xml
+    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="HandlerBadgeBrush" Color="{StaticResource PeatSoftColor}"/>
+```
+
+After the existing `Border.badge.manual` style block add:
+
+```xml
+  <!-- handler → peat: a "Let Claude handle it" run host, not a hand-written reminder -->
+  <Style Selector="Border.badge.handler">
+    <Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource HandlerBadgeBrush}"/>
+  </Style>
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Render the badge**
+
+In `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Islands/TaskRowView.axaml`, replace the manual badge block (lines 141-144):
+
+```xml
+              <Border Classes="badge manual" IsVisible="{Binding IsManual}"
+                      ToolTip.Tip="{loc:Tr tasks.manualTip}">
+                <TextBlock Text="{Binding ManualBadge}"/>
+              </Border>
+```
+
+with:
+
+```xml
+              <Border Classes="badge manual" IsVisible="{Binding ShowManualBadge}"
+                      ToolTip.Tip="{loc:Tr tasks.manualTip}">
+                <TextBlock Text="{Binding ManualBadge}"/>
+              </Border>
+              <Border Classes="badge handler" IsVisible="{Binding IsHandlerRun}"
+                      ToolTip.Tip="{loc:Tr tasks.handlerTip}">
+                <TextBlock Text="{Binding HandlerBadge}"/>
+              </Border>
+```
+
+Only the `IsVisible` binding changed on the manual border (`IsManual` → `ShowManualBadge`); the

+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests to verify they fail**
+
+Run: `dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests.csproj -c Release --filter "FullyQualifiedName~DetailsIslandHandledTasksTests"`
+Expected: compile error — `DetailsIslandViewModel` has no `HandledTasks` / `HasHandledTasks`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the collection**
+
+In `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Islands/DetailsIslandViewModel.cs`, after the line
+`public ObservableCollection<ChildOutcomeRowViewModel> ChildOutcomes { get; } = new();` add:
+
+```csharp
+    // Tasks a "list handler" run processed ("Let Claude handle it"), linked via
+    // TaskEntity.HandlerTaskId. Separate from ChildOutcomes on purpose: that collection is the
+    // planning/improvement parent's children and feeds the merge card's combined diff, which a
+    // handler run must not touch (it commits straight to the list's working dir).
+    public ObservableCollection<ChildOutcomeRowViewModel> HandledTasks { get; } = new();
+```
+
+After the line `public bool HasChildOutcomes => ChildOutcomes.Count > 0;` add:
+
+```csharp
+    public bool HasHandledTasks => HandledTasks.Count > 0;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Clear it on rebind**
+
+In the same file, in the rebind reset block, after the line `ChildOutcomes.Clear();` add:
+
+```csharp
+        HandledTasks.Clear();
+```
+
+and after `OnPropertyChanged(nameof(HasChildOutcomes));` in that same block add:
+
+```csharp
+        OnPropertyChanged(nameof(HasHandledTasks));
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Load it on bind**
+
+In the same file, directly after the line `await LoadChildOutcomesAsync(row.Id, ct);` add:
+
+```csharp
+            await LoadHandledTasksAsync(row.Id, ct);
+```
+
+Then add the loader immediately after the closing brace of `LoadChildOutcomesAsync`:
+
+```csharp
+    // Tasks stamped with this handler run's id. Ordered like the task list itself so the panel
+    // reads in the same order the user picked them.
+    private async System.Threading.Tasks.Task LoadHandledTasksAsync(string handlerTaskId, CancellationToken ct)
+    {
+        try
+        {
+            await using var ctx = await _dbFactory.CreateDbContextAsync(ct);
+            var handled = await ctx.Tasks
+                .AsNoTracking()
+                .Include(t => t.Worktree)
+                .Where(t => t.HandlerTaskId == handlerTaskId)
+                .OrderBy(t => t.SortOrder).ThenBy(t => t.CreatedAt)
+                .ToListAsync(ct);
+            ct.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
+            if (handled.Count == 0) return;
+
+            HandledTasks.Clear();
+            foreach (var h in handled)
+                HandledTasks.Add(new ChildOutcomeRowViewModel
+                {
+                    Id = h.Id,
+                    Title = h.Title,
+                    Status = h.Status,
+                    RoadblockCount = h.RoadblockCount,
+                    WorktreeState = h.Worktree?.State ?? ClaudeDo.Data.Models.WorktreeState.Active,
+                });
+            OnPropertyChanged(nameof(HasHandledTasks));
+        }
+        catch (OperationCanceledException) { }
+        catch { /* best-effort */ }
+    }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Keep the rows live**
+
+In the same file, in `RefreshChildOutcomeAsync`, replace:
+
+```csharp
+        var row = ChildOutcomes.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Id == childTaskId);
+        if (row is null) return;
+```
+
+with:
+
+```csharp
+        // The same refresh serves both lists: a planning parent's children and a handler run's
+        // handled tasks. Only one of them can hold a given id.
+        var row = ChildOutcomes.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Id == childTaskId)
+                  ?? HandledTasks.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Id == childTaskId);
+        if (row is null) return;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Render the panel**
+
+In `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Islands/Detail/WorkConsole.axaml`, directly after the closing
+`</StackPanel>` of the existing `<!-- Child outcomes -->` block, add:
+
+```xml
+            <!-- Handled tasks (list handler run) -->
+            <StackPanel Spacing="6" IsVisible="{Binding HasHandledTasks}">
+              <TextBlock Classes="section-label" Text="HANDLED TASKS" />
+              <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding HandledTasks}">
+                <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
+                  <DataTemplate x:DataType="vm:ChildOutcomeRowViewModel">
+                    <Grid ColumnDefinitions="*,Auto,Auto" Margin="0,2">
+                      <TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Title}"
+                                 TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis"
+                                 VerticalAlignment="Center" />
+                      <TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding RoadblockText}"
+                                 IsVisible="{Binding HasRoadblock}"
+                                 Foreground="#E0A030"
+                                 Margin="8,0" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
+                      <TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Text="{Binding StatusLabel}"
+                                 Opacity="0.75" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
+                    </Grid>

+                </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
+              </ItemsControl>
+            </StackPanel>
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Run the tests to verify they pass**
+
+Run: `dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests.csproj -c Release --filter "FullyQualifiedName~DetailsIslandHandledTasksTests"`
+Expected: `Passed! - Failed: 0, Passed: 2`.
+
+Run: `dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.App/ClaudeDo.App.csproj -c Release`
+Expected: `Build succeeded`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Islands/DetailsIslandViewModel.cs src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Islands/Detail/WorkConsole.axaml tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/ViewModels/DetailsIslandHandledTasksTests.cs

+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Full verification and docs
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/ClaudeDo.Data/CLAUDE.md` (TaskEntity field list)
+- Modify: `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md` (TaskRowViewModel + DetailsIslandViewModel bullets)
+- Modify: `docs/explore-notes/conpty-sessions.md` (list handler → host task section)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Run every affected test project**
+
+```bash
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests.csproj -c Release
+dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.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: `Failed: 0` in all four. If a hand-rolled fake in a test project fails to compile,
+it is one of the known `IWorkerClient`/ViewModel-ctor fakes — update it; do not skip the test.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update `src/ClaudeDo.Data/CLAUDE.md`**
+
+In the `TaskEntity` bullet, append `HandlerTaskId` to the field enumeration (after
+`HandlerBaseCommit / HandlerHeadCommit`), and add a sub-bullet under the existing
+`HandlerBaseCommit`/`HandlerHeadCommit` sub-bullet:
+
+```markdown
+  - `HandlerTaskId` = back-link from a task to the **list handler run** that processed it (1:n, last run wins, no FK). Stamped from the user's selection when the handler task is created, so tasks the handler later cancels as duplicates stay listed. Deliberately not `ParentTaskId` — that is the planning-child relation and drives the indented tree.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md`**
+
+In the `DetailsIslandViewModel` bullet, after the `ChildOutcomes` mention, add
+`, plus `HandledTasks` (tasks a list-handler run processed, via `HandlerTaskId`)`.
+
+In the `TaskRowViewModel` sentence, after the `IsManual` clause, add
+`, `IsHandlerRun` (→ HANDLER badge, which outranks MANUAL)`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update `docs/explore-notes/conpty-sessions.md`**
+
+In the "The host task and its commit range" section, add after the existing description:
+
+```markdown
+`CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync` also stamps `TaskEntity.HandlerTaskId` on every selected task
+(`TaskRepository.SetHandlerTaskIdAsync`) before the session starts, so the handler task's detail
+pane can list what the run was meant to process — including tasks phase 1 cancels as duplicates.
+The handler never links to itself.
+```
+
+Bump that note's "verified against" commit line to the current HEAD.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/ClaudeDo.Data/CLAUDE.md src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md docs/explore-notes/conpty-sessions.md
+git commit -- src/ClaudeDo.Data/CLAUDE.md src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md docs/explore-notes/conpty-sessions.md -m "docs(handler): document the handler-run task link"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Report the visual-verification gap**
+
+The build and tests cannot confirm any of this renders correctly. Explicitly hand these to Mika:
+
+1. HANDLER badge colour and legibility on a handler task row (light **and** dark theme), and that MANUAL is gone from that row while still present on a normal manual reminder.
+2. The HANDLED TASKS panel on the handler task's Session tab: position relative to OUTCOMES, spacing, and behaviour with ~20 handled tasks (scroll).
+3. That a real "Let Claude handle it" run over a multi-task selection produces a populated panel after the run, including a phase-1-cancelled duplicate.

+# Planning-Chain Children: Fork Base Commit (Design Options, No Implementation)
+
+**Date:** 2026-08-06
+**Status:** Options evaluated, recommendation given — decision pending (Mika)
+**Scope:** Analysis only. No production code changed by this document.
+
+## Problem
+
+The planning chain gives **ordering**, not **code inheritance**. `PlanningChainCoordinator.SetupChainAsync`
+(`src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Planning/PlanningChainCoordinator.cs:36-72`) links children via
+`BlockedByTaskId` (child[i] blocks on child[i-1]) so they run one at a time. But each child's
+worktree is still created from **main's current HEAD**, not from the predecessor's branch, so
+child N+1 never sees child N's (unmerged) work.
+
+**Observed failure (unit `44241dcb`, "Installer: Environment-Checks", 2026-08-05):** 7 of 9
+children succeeded; the two that depended on a sibling's output could not:
+
+- `4e196058` ("Claude Help Me" button) — reported: *"the task spec assumes an existing
+  SystemCheckPage/EnvironmentCheckReport/ExecutableResolver, but that code only exists on an
+  unmerged sibling branch (claudedo/06aca9b3...). A fast-forward merge of that branch was
+  attempted ... but was denied twice by the auto-mode permission classifier. No implementation
+  work was done."*
+- `c22cdd06` (Diagnose section) — *"Blocked before implementation could start."*
+
+Both correctly reported `CLAUDEDO_BLOCKED` and committed nothing (`ahead: 0`). A second-order
+symptom of the same root cause: `ExecutableResolver.cs` was independently created **twice**
+(`40272c0b`, `06aca9b3`, near-identical) and collided as an add/add conflict at unit-merge time.

+### Where the base commit is chosen
+
+`WorktreeManager.ResolveBaseCommitAsync` — `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Runner/WorktreeManager.cs:191-207`:
+
+```csharp
+private async Task<string> ResolveBaseCommitAsync(TaskEntity task, string workingDir, CancellationToken ct)
+{
+    if (task.ParentTaskId is not null)
+    {
+        var parent = ...;
+        if (parent is not null && parent.PlanningPhase == PlanningPhase.None)
+        {
+            var parentWt = await new WorktreeRepository(ctx).GetByTaskIdAsync(task.ParentTaskId, ct);
+            var parentHead = parentWt?.HeadCommit ?? parentWt?.BaseCommit;
+            if (parentHead is not null)
+                return parentHead;
+        }
+    }
+    return await _git.RevParseHeadAsync(workingDir, ct);   // planning children land here
+}
+```
+
+**A "don't fork from main" mechanism already exists** — but only for *improvement* children
+(a non-planning parent's own follow-up subtasks), which base off `task.ParentTaskId`'s worktree
+HEAD. The guard `parent.PlanningPhase == PlanningPhase.None` explicitly **excludes** planning
+children: their `ParentTaskId` points at the planning parent (which has no worktree of its own),
+not at a sibling, so this branch never fires for them and they fall through to `RevParseHeadAsync`
+= main HEAD. This is a deliberate exclusion in the existing code, not an oversight — it simply
+never anticipated that a planning child's *predecessor in the chain* (not its parent) might be
+the thing to inherit from.
+
+Called from `WorktreeManager.CreateAsync` (`:35`), invoked by `TaskRunner` (`Runner/TaskRunner.cs:309`)
+at the moment a task transitions to `Running` — i.e. worktree creation happens per-run, not once
+at plan-finalize time.
+
+### Children already run strictly sequentially — this is not a new constraint
+
+`SetupChainAsync` sets `BlockedByTaskId` on every child but the first
+(`Planning/PlanningChainCoordinator.cs:61-69`); the queue picker only claims rows with
+`BlockedByTaskId IS NULL`. `OnChildFinishedAsync` (`:92-120`) unblocks the successor **only**
+after the predecessor reaches `Done` (and cascades cancellation down the chain on
+Failed/Cancelled). `OverrideSlotService.RunNow` (`Queue/OverrideSlotService.cs:32-42`) is the one
+path that bypasses this — it calls `StartRunningAsync` directly with no `BlockedByTaskId` check,
+so a user can manually force a later child to run out of turn.
+
+Net: under the normal (queue-driven) path, by the time child N+1's worktree is created, child N
+is already terminal. Forking N+1 from N's branch tip instead of main's HEAD does **not** introduce
+any new concurrency constraint on the normal path — the sequencing already exists. It only matters
+for the `RunNow` bypass edge case (see Option 1 below).
+
+### The merge side already treats the unit as a sequential chain, twice over
+
+`PlanningMergeOrchestrator.DrainAsync` (`Planning/PlanningMergeOrchestrator.cs:183-229`) merges
+`Done` children into `targetBranch` **one at a time, in `SortOrder`**, via
+`TaskMergeService.MergeAsync`; the first conflict pauses the whole drain
+(`PlanningMergeConflict`, state kept for `ContinueAsync`/`AbortAsync`), and the first
+non-conflict failure **aborts the drain outright** — remaining children are never merged and the
+parent never reaches `Done` (`:208-215`).
+
+`PlanningAggregator.BuildIntegrationBranchAsync` (`Planning/PlanningAggregator.cs:81-126`) — used
+for the pre-approve combined-diff preview — does the same thing again: builds a scratch
+integration branch off `targetBranch` and `MergeNoFfAsync`s each child's branch in, in
+`SortOrder`, stopping at the first conflict.
+
+So **both** the actual unit-merge and its preview already model the child set as an ordered
+sequence where one bad link can stall everything downstream. The only place in the whole pipeline
+that still treats planning children as N independent forks of main is worktree creation.
+
+## Options evaluated
+
+### Option 1 — child forks from the predecessor's branch
+
+Extend `ResolveBaseCommitAsync` (or a planning-specific sibling of it) to also handle planning
+children: look up the chain predecessor via `BlockedByTaskId` (not `ParentTaskId` — that points at
+the planning parent, which has no worktree) and use its `WorktreeEntity.HeadCommit ?? BaseCommit`
+the same way the improvement-child path already does.
+
+**What actually breaks, given the Ist-Zustand above:**
+
+- *Not* a new concurrency constraint (see above) — the chain already serializes execution.
+- *Not* a new "one failure blocks everyone" behavior at merge time — `DrainAsync` already aborts
+  the whole drain on the first non-conflict failure, and the integration-branch preview already
+  stops at the first conflict. Option 1 brings execution-time behavior in line with what merge-time
+  behavior already is, rather than introducing a new failure mode.
+- **Genuinely new:** child N+1's branch now contains N's commits as ancestors. When N is later
+  merged into `targetBranch` with `--no-ff` and N+1 is merged afterward, N+1's diff against N's
+  content is empty (identical trees) — merges cleanly as a no-op for that slice, verified by the
+  same mechanism `DrainAsync` already uses. No new conflict class is introduced; if anything this
+  *removes* one: the `ExecutableResolver.cs` add/add collision would not have occurred, since N+1
+  would start from a tree that already has the file.
+- **Genuinely new edge case:** `OverrideSlotService.RunNow` on a chain member whose predecessor
+  hasn't produced a `WorktreeEntity`/`HeadCommit` yet. Needs an explicit fallback to main HEAD —
+  the same `?? ` pattern the improvement-child branch already uses for a predecessor with no
+  `HeadCommit` (never committed) covers most of this; a predecessor that was never even *run* needs
+  the same fallback-to-`RevParseHeadAsync` the code already falls through to today.
+- **Genuinely new edge case:** a discarded/failed predecessor's worktree row still carries its last
+  `HeadCommit`/`BaseCommit` (the row isn't deleted on discard, only `State` flips) — same as the
+  improvement-child path already tolerates, so no new handling needed there.
+- Children still go straight to `Done` with no individual review (Unified Parent Model), so there
+  is no "reject and rewrite a middle child after a successor already forked from it" scenario to
+  worry about — that action doesn't exist in the current state machine.
+
+**Price:** deeper branch chains (cosmetic — they're squashed away by the sequential merge/prune
+regardless); one new fallback path for the `RunNow` bypass. Meaningfully smaller than it first
+looks, because it extends an existing pattern (improvement children) into a lane whose execution
+and merge sides are *already* sequential — it only fixes the one place that wasn't.
+
+### Option 2 — merge predecessor to main immediately on success, before the successor starts
+
+Keeps children independent worktrees (forked from main-as-it-is-now, updated after each merge),
+but requires a real merge to `main` per child, outside of Approve.
+
+**Breaks:**
+
+- Directly contradicts the documented invariant "**Approve is the single review+merge action**"
+  (`src/ClaudeDo.Worker/CLAUDE.md` → Status Model; `docs/explore-notes/review-merge.md` → "Approve
+  = merge the whole unit"). Unreviewed work would land on `main` automatically, mid-chain, before
+  the parent — or the user — ever sees it.
+- Requires calling `TaskMergeService.MergeAsync` from `OnChildFinishedAsync` (state-transition
+  code), duplicating what `PlanningMergeOrchestrator` already owns, and doing it against a
+  `VerifyCommand`-gated repo N times instead of once — if the gate is configured, a mid-chain
+  verify failure now has to be handled somewhere there's currently no error path for it (parent is
+  still `WaitingForChildren`, not under merge orchestration yet).
+- Unavoidably touches `TaskStateService`/status-transition semantics, which this task's scope
+  explicitly excludes ("Die Status-Logik oder `TaskStateService` anfassen" is out of scope) — this
+  option cannot be implemented without doing exactly that.
+
+**Verdict:** rejected outright — it isn't just costly, it conflicts with a stated architectural
+invariant and this task's own non-goals.
+
+### Option 3 — child may merge the predecessor's branch into its own worktree if it needs to
+
+Least invasive to the base-commit mechanism; delegates the decision to the agent at runtime.
+
+**Breaks:**
+
+- This is *exactly* what the blocked child in the observed incident already tried, and it was
+  denied twice by the auto-mode permission classifier. The real blocker isn't a missing
+  capability, it's that `git merge` trips the classifier's "risky/hard-to-reverse" heuristic
+  regardless of target — even though a merge confined to the task's own isolated worktree (never
+  touching the shared `workingDir`) is materially lower-risk than a merge on a shared checkout.
+  Fixing this option means carving a narrower permission rule (allow `git merge` only inside a
+  path under the task's own worktree root), which is a security-policy change, not a merge-model
+  change.
+- Even with permission granted, it still relies on the agent (a) noticing it's missing a
+  prerequisite, (b) correctly identifying which sibling branch has it, and (c) successfully
+  resolving any conflict that surfaces — three separate failure points per occurrence, decided
+  fresh by an LLM each time rather than encoded once in the pipeline.
+- Doesn't help children that fail *before* they'd even think to look (e.g., a child whose first
+  action is reading a file that doesn't exist yet has no signal to act on).
+
+**Verdict:** possible as a narrow permission-scope fix layered *on top of* Option 1 (so an agent
+that still needs something from further back than its immediate predecessor isn't stuck), but not
+a substitute for it — on its own it reproduces the exact failure mode from the incident, just with
+one fewer denial.
+
+### Option 4 — change nothing; require independent children at planning time
+
+Zero code changes; pushes the constraint into plan quality.
+
+**Breaks:**
+
+- No enforcement exists today (`PlanningSessionManager` doesn't validate structural independence
+  between proposed subtasks), and reliably detecting "child B depends on code child A will write"
+  from a plan draft is itself an unsolved code-review problem — not something a prompt tweak
+  guarantees.
+- A shared-foundation-plus-N-consumers decomposition (exactly the `44241dcb` shape: environment
+  checks feeding two UI consumers) is often the *correct* decomposition, not a planning mistake.
+  Banning it either forces over-merging into one giant child (defeating the purpose of splitting)
+  or requires the planner to reject a structurally sound plan.
+- Reproduces the observed failure verbatim under the same conditions: nothing about this option
+  would have caught `44241dcb` before it shipped two dead children.
+
+**Verdict:** cheapest to write down, but doesn't fix the problem — it relocates it to "the plan
+looked independent but wasn't," which is what already happened.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**Option 1**, with the `RunNow`-bypass fallback described above, and with Option 3's narrower
+permission-scope fix as an optional follow-up (not a prerequisite) for cases where a child needs
+something from further back in the chain than its immediate predecessor.
+
+**Why:** Option 1 is not a new mechanism — it's closing the one gap in a pattern that already
+exists twice in this codebase: `WorktreeManager.ResolveBaseCommitAsync` already forks improvement
+children from their parent's HEAD instead of main, and both `PlanningMergeOrchestrator.DrainAsync`
+and `PlanningAggregator.BuildIntegrationBranchAsync` already treat the child set as an ordered
+merge sequence where the first failure stalls everything after it. Planning-child worktree
+creation is the outlier, not the rule. Extending the existing predecessor-lookup pattern (keyed
+off `BlockedByTaskId` instead of `ParentTaskId` for this lane) makes the "sees predecessor's work"
+guarantee hold everywhere the chain already implies it, without touching `TaskStateService`, the
+review model, or introducing a merge-time failure mode that doesn't already exist. Options 2 and 4
+either conflict with a stated invariant/this task's own non-goals, or fail to address the incident
+at all; Option 3 alone reproduces the incident's exact failure.
+
+**Price to pay knowingly:** a chain member that never got a chance to run (no `WorktreeEntity` yet)
+needs an explicit main-HEAD fallback when its successor is forced via `RunNow` — a few lines,
+mirroring the null-coalescing fallback the improvement-child path already has. No other new failure
+surface was found.
+
+## Explicitly out of scope (per task)
+
+- Implementing Option 1 or any other option — Mika decides first.
+- Any change to `TaskStateService` or status-transition logic.
+- Changing blocked-child visibility/behavior — that's task `001ee94a`, running in parallel; it only
+  touches MCP visibility, no production code overlap with this document.

+# Diff Viewer: Side-by-Side, Syntax Highlighting, Word Diff
+
+Date: 2026-08-07
+Status: approved (design), not implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+The diff viewer renders every change as a flat unified stream. Reading what actually changed
+inside a modified line means mentally aligning a `−` row with a `+` row several rows below it.
+The user reads diffs faster side by side.
+
+Three gaps, all in the same surface:
+
+1. No side-by-side mode.
+2. No syntax highlighting — the merge editor (`ConflictResolverView`) already has it via
+   TextMate, the diff viewer does not.
+3. No intra-line (word) highlighting, so a one-character change looks like a whole-line rewrite.
+
+## Current state
+
+| Concern | Where |
+|---|---|
+| Parsing | `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Modals/UnifiedDiffParser.cs` → `DiffFileViewModel.Lines` |
+| Models | `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Modals/DiffModels.cs` (`DiffLineViewModel{Kind,OldNo,NewNo,Text}`, `DiffLineKind{Add,Del,Ctx,File}`) |
+| Rendering | `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Controls/DiffLinesView.axaml` — non-virtualized `ItemsControl`, one `Border`+`Grid`+4 `TextBlock`s per line, `TextWrapping="NoWrap"` |
+| Host | `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Modals/DiffViewerView.axaml` — Files mode (line 154, `SelectedFile.Lines`) and Planning mode (line 162, flattened `DiffLines` across all files) |
+| Highlighting reference | `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Conflicts/ConflictResolverView.axaml.cs:80-83` — `RegistryOptions(ThemeName.DarkPlus)` + `InstallTextMate` + `SetGrammar` by file extension |
+
+`Avalonia.AvaloniaEdit`, `AvaloniaEdit.TextMate` and `TextMateSharp.Grammars` are already
+referenced in `ClaudeDo.Ui.csproj`.
+
+## Decision
+
+Replace `DiffLinesView` with an AvaloniaEdit-based control. TextMate highlighting is bound to
+the `TextEditor` control; it cannot be lifted into `TextBlock` inlines without reimplementing
+the scope→brush layer that `AvaloniaEdit.TextMate` already provides. Building split/wrap/word
+diff on the `TextBlock` model first and swapping the renderer later would be throwaway work.
+
+Side effect worth having: AvaloniaEdit virtualizes, which removes the current non-virtualized
+`ItemsControl` as a scaling limit on large diffs.
+
+Rejected: keeping the `ItemsControl` and hand-rolling highlighting from `TextMateSharp`
+tokenization — same output, materially more code, and a second highlighting path to maintain
+alongside the merge editor's.
+
+## Layout semantics
+
+Left pane is the **old** state, right pane is the **new** state — each side carries the complete
+version of the hunk, not "removals here, additions there".
+
+```
+        LEFT (old)                       RIGHT (new)
+   12  public void Save()            12  public void Save()
+   13      var x = 1;                13      var x = 2;      ← word diff on `1` / `2`
+   14      Log("old");                ·  (filler)
+    ·  (filler)                      14      Log("new");
+   15  }                             15  }
+```
+
+## Components
+
+### 1. `DiffAlignment` (new, pure)
+
+`src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Modals/DiffAlignment.cs`
+
+Turns `IReadOnlyList<DiffLineViewModel>` into a render-ready `AlignedDiff`. No Avalonia types,
+fully unit-testable.
+
+```csharp
+public enum AlignedSide { Ctx, Del, Add, Filler, Gap }
+
+public readonly record struct TextSpan(int Start, int Length);
+
+public sealed record SplitRow(
+    AlignedSide LeftKind,  int? OldNo, string LeftText,  IReadOnlyList<TextSpan> LeftSpans,
+    AlignedSide RightKind, int? NewNo, string RightText, IReadOnlyList<TextSpan> RightSpans);
+
+public sealed record UnifiedRow(
+    AlignedSide Kind, int? OldNo, int? NewNo, string Text, IReadOnlyList<TextSpan> Spans);
+
+public sealed record AlignedDiff(
+    IReadOnlyList<SplitRow> SplitRows,   string LeftText, string RightText,
+    IReadOnlyList<UnifiedRow> UnifiedRows, string UnifiedText);
+```
+
+Row index `i` maps to document line `i + 1` in the corresponding text. That mapping is the
+contract the margin and both renderers depend on.
+
+**Pairing.** Walk the lines. A `Ctx` run emits rows with the same text on both sides. A change
+block (a `Del` run followed by an `Add` run) pairs index-wise up to `min(delCount, addCount)`;
+the overhang gets `Filler` rows on the opposite side.
+
+**Gaps.** The parser drops `@@` headers, so a skipped region shows up as a jump in `OldNo`/`NewNo`
+between consecutive lines. `DiffAlignment` detects that jump and inserts a `Gap` row on both
+sides. The parser is not touched.
+
+**Word diff.** Only for `(Del, Add)` rows that are paired 1:1. Tokenize each side into runs of
+word characters / whitespace / single punctuation, run an LCS over the tokens, and emit the
+changed token runs as character spans per side.
+
+Two guards, both `const` and both covered by tests:
+- Skip when either side exceeds `MaxWordDiffChars = 2000` — LCS cost, and such lines are
+  unreadable as word diffs anyway.
+- Skip when token similarity is below `MinWordDiffSimilarity = 0.5` (common tokens / max token
+  count). Below that the two lines are unrelated rewrites and per-word tinting is noise.
+
+### 2. `DiffTextView` (new control, replaces `DiffLinesView`)
+
+`src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Controls/DiffTextView.axaml` + `.axaml.cs`
+
+Styled properties:
+
+| Property | Type | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `File` | `DiffFileViewModel?` | Source; the control aligns it and caches the `AlignedDiff` per file instance |
+| `Mode` | `DiffViewMode` (`Unified`\|`Split`) | Layout |
+| `WrapLines` | `bool` | Bound to each editor's `WordWrap` |
+
+Two `TextEditor`s in a two-column grid, both `IsReadOnly=true`, `ShowLineNumbers=false`.
+`Unified` mode collapses the right editor and spans the left one across both columns, feeding
+it `UnifiedText`. `Split` mode shows both, fed `LeftText` / `RightText`.
+
+Per editor:
+- **TextMate**: one shared `RegistryOptions(ThemeName.DarkPlus)`; grammar resolved from
+  `File.Path`'s extension via `GetLanguageByExtension` → `GetScopeByLanguageId` → `SetGrammar`,
+  exactly as `ConflictResolverView.ApplyGrammar` does. No extension match → no grammar, plain text.
+- **`DiffLineNumberMargin : AbstractMargin`** — draws line numbers from the row list. Split: old
+  numbers left, new numbers right. Unified: two number columns in one margin. `Filler` and `Gap`
+  rows draw nothing.
+- **`DiffLineBackgroundRenderer : IBackgroundRenderer`** — full-width tint per visual line by
+  row kind: add / del / filler / gap / ctx.
+- **`WordDiffRenderer : IBackgroundRenderer`** — stronger tint over the changed spans, via
+  `BackgroundGeometryBuilder` at `lineStartOffset + span.Start`.
+
+Both renderers resolve rows through a single `Func<int, RowInfo?>` keyed by document line.
+
+**Highlighting on fragments.** Only hunks are in the document, not whole files, so TextMate's
+line-by-line state can be wrong at a fragment boundary (a line inside a block comment may be
+highlighted as code). Accepted — the same is true of every fragment-based diff viewer.
+
+**Colors.** Line tints stay the existing low-alpha `RunningTintBrush` / `ErrorTintBrush` so
+syntax foregrounds remain legible. The per-line foreground recolor from `DiffLinesView`
+(green/red text) is dropped — syntax colors take over. `Filler` gets a new dim token brush,
+`Gap` renders as a dim `⋯` separator row.
+
+**Scroll sync** (split only), modeled on `ConflictResolverView.HookScrollSync` — find each
+editor's descendant `ScrollViewer`, guard re-entry with a `_syncing` flag:
+- `WrapLines = false`: sync `Offset.Y` directly. Line heights match, so alignment is exact.
+- `WrapLines = true`: line heights diverge. Sync on the first visible document line instead
+  (`ScrollToLine`), which keeps the top of the viewport aligned and lets rows drift downward.
+
+### 3. Host changes
+
+`DiffViewerView.axaml`:
+- Header gains a segmented Unified/Split toggle and a wrap toggle.
+- Files mode: `DiffLinesView Lines="{Binding SelectedFile.Lines}"` → `DiffTextView File="{Binding SelectedFile}"`.
+- Planning mode: the flattened single-stream `DiffLines` view is replaced by an `ItemsControl`
+  over the subtask's parsed files, each item a file header plus its own `DiffTextView`. One
+  editor can only carry one grammar, so per-file editors are required for highlighting to work
+  at all here. `DiffViewerViewModel` exposes the parsed per-file list for the selected subtask;
+  `DiffLines` and `UnifiedDiffParser.Flatten` lose their last consumer and are removed.
+
+`DiffLinesView.axaml` + `.axaml.cs` are deleted once both usages are migrated.
+
+### 4. Persistence
+
+`src/ClaudeDo.Ui/AppSettings.cs` (`~/.todo-app/ui.config.json`) already holds UI-only
+preferences (`Language`, `AccentPreset`) with plain `Load()`/`Save()`. Two properties are added
+there:
+
+```csharp
+public string DiffViewMode { get; set; } = "unified";   // "unified" | "split"
+public bool DiffWrapLines { get; set; }
+```
+
+`DiffViewerViewModel` takes the injected `AppSettings`, seeds its toggles on open and calls
+`Save()` when either changes. No database column, no EF migration, no hub method — a view
+preference does not belong in `AppSettingsEntity`.
+
+### 5. Localization
+
+New keys in both `locales/en.json` and `locales/de.json` (Localization.Tests enforces parity):
+`diff.view.unified`, `diff.view.split`, `diff.view.wrap`.
+
+## Testing
+
+`tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests` — `DiffAlignment` is pure and carries the logic worth testing:
+
+- Context-only diff → identical rows on both sides, no fillers.
+- Equal-size change block → 1:1 pairing, no fillers.
+- Unequal change block (3 del / 5 add) → 3 paired rows + 2 right-side rows with left fillers.
+- Add-only and delete-only blocks → fillers on the opposite side throughout.
+- Non-contiguous line numbers → exactly one `Gap` row inserted.
+- Word diff: single-token change yields one span per side at the right offsets.
+- Word diff skipped above `MaxWordDiffChars` and below `MinWordDiffSimilarity`.
+- Row index ↔ document line mapping holds for both `SplitRows` and `UnifiedRows`.
+- Binary file and empty-content file → empty `AlignedDiff`, no crash.
+
+`AppSettings` round-trip: persisted mode and wrap survive `Save()`/`Load()`.
+
+Rendering (margin, both renderers, scroll sync, TextMate colors) is not unit-testable here and
+is an explicit manual visual pass — see Open items.
+
+## Known limitations
+
+1. **Wrap + split drift.** With wrap on, the two panes align at the top of the viewport but rows
+   drift apart further down. Per-line vertical alignment as VS Code does it is out of scope.
+2. **Fragment highlighting.** See above — highlighting state can be wrong at hunk boundaries.
+3. **Editors per file in Planning mode.** A subtask touching many files instantiates one editor
+   per file. Same cost as viewing those files individually in Files mode; not capped. If it
+   proves slow, the fix is lazy instantiation on expand, not a silent truncation.
+
+## Open items (manual verification)
+
+- Visual pass on both modes: tints legible over DarkPlus syntax colors; line numbers aligned;
+  filler and gap rows readable.
+- Scroll sync with wrap off (exact) and wrap on (top-anchored).
+- Planning mode with a multi-file subtask.
+- Toggle state survives an app restart.
+
+## Docs to update on completion
+
+- `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md` — Views/Controls list and the "Diff & Conflicts" section still
+  name `DiffLinesView`.
+- `docs/explore-notes/review-merge.md` — diff stack description + "verified against" commit.

+# Handler-Run: Verknüpfung zu den behandelten Tasks
+
+**Date:** 2026-08-07
+**Status:** Design approved (Mika), implementation pending
+**Verified against:** commit `c792765`
+
+## Problem
+
+Ein "Let Claude handle it"-Run besitzt seit 2026-08-05 einen echten Task (`IsManual=true`,
+`HandlerBaseCommit`/`HandlerHeadCommit`, Diff über Commit-Range). Was fehlt: **welche Tasks der Run
+behandelt hat, ist nirgends persistiert.** Die Auswahl lebt nur in der ConPTY-Session und im
+Transcript; `HandoffMcpTools.HandoffListHandler` (`src/ClaudeDo.Worker/External/HandoffMcpTools.cs:28-45`)
+bekommt `survivingTaskIds` als flüchtige Liste.
+
+Folge: Nachdem ein Run durch ist und der Diff sichtbar wird, lässt sich nicht mehr nachvollziehen,
+*was alles gemacht werden sollte* und *welcher Task was produziert hat*. Duplikate, die der Handler
+in Phase 1 gecancelt hat, verschwinden vollständig aus dem Blickfeld.
+
+Zweitens zeigt der Handler-Task in der Liste das Badge **MANUAL**, weil er `IsManual=true` setzt —
+irreführend, denn es ist kein manueller Reminder.
+
+## Ist-Zustand
+
+### Es gibt kein Task-Kind
+
+`TaskEntity` hat **kein `Kind`/`Type`-Enum**. Task-"Arten" sind heute Feld-Kombinationen:
+
+| Feld | Bedeutung |
+|---|---|
+| `IsManual` | manueller Reminder — Queue/Daily-Prep/Refine überspringen ihn |
+| `ParentTaskId` | Kind einer Planning-/Improvement-Session |
+| `PlanningPhase` | Planning-Parent |
+| `BlockedByTaskId` | Kettenglied, Queue-Picker überspringt es |
+| `HandlerBaseCommit` | worktree-loser List-Handler-Host (`src/ClaudeDo.Data/Models/TaskEntity.cs:60-61`) |
+
+Ein Handler-Task ist also allein durch `HandlerBaseCommit != null` identifiziert.
+
+### `ParentTaskId` ist belegt
+
+`TaskRepository.CreateChildAsync` (`src/ClaudeDo.Data/Repositories/TaskRepository.cs:306`) setzt es
+für Planning-Kinder; `TaskRowViewModel.IsChild`/`ShowAsChild`
+(`src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Islands/TaskRowViewModel.cs:59,66`) hängen daran und rücken die Zeile
+im Baum ein. Ein Recycling für Handler→behandelte Tasks würde die Auswahl optisch unter den Handler
+schieben und mit echten Planning-Kindern kollidieren.
+
+### Badge-Infrastruktur existiert
+
+`TaskRowView.axaml:129-144` rendert DRAFT / PLANNED / PLANNING / MANUAL über
+`Border Classes="badge <variant>"`. Basis-Style und Varianten liegen in
+`src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Design/IslandStyles.axaml:963-990`, die Brushes als theme-fähige Tokens in
+`Tokens.axaml`. Loc-Keys: `tasks.badgeManual`, `tasks.manualTip` (en.json:163-164).
+
+### Kinder-Panel existiert
+
+`DetailsIslandViewModel.LoadChildOutcomesAsync`
+(`src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Islands/DetailsIslandViewModel.cs:704-748`) lädt
+`Where(t => t.ParentTaskId == parentTaskId)` in `ChildOutcomes` (`:248`) und rendert pro Zeile
+Id/Titel/Status/RoadblockCount/WorktreeState via `ChildOutcomeRowViewModel`; Refresh läuft über
+`TaskUpdated`/`WorktreeUpdated` (`:814-833`).
+
+## Entscheidungen
+
+| Frage | Entscheidung | Begründung |
+|---|---|---|
+| Neues `TaskKind`-Enum? | **Nein** | Es gäbe kein Enum zu erweitern — es wäre das erste überhaupt, inkl. Migration und Rückwirkung auf Queue/Filter/UI. Der Bedarf ist eine Beziehung, kein Typ. |
+| `ParentTaskId` wiederverwenden? | **Nein** | belegt durch Planning-Kinder, kollidiert mit Einrückungs-Logik |
+| 1:n oder n:m? | **1:n**, eine nullable Spalte | Historie "welcher Run hat den Task mal berührt" bringt nichts, wenn ohnehin der letzte Run derjenige ist, dessen Diff man ansieht. Join-Tabelle = doppelter Code für einen Randfall. |
+| Wann stempeln? | **Beim Anlegen des Handler-Tasks** | Die UI kennt die Auswahl bereits. Erfasst auch die Tasks, die der Handler in Phase 1 als Duplikat cancelt — genau das "was sollte alles gemacht werden". Ein Stempeln erst in `handoff_list_handler` würde Dedupe-Verlierer verlieren und bei Abbruch vor Phase 2 gar nichts verknüpfen. |
+| Umfang der Anzeige | **Nur Liste + Endstatus** | Kein Phasen-Protokoll, kein Per-Task-Diff im Panel — der Diff hängt ohnehin am jeweiligen Task. |
+
+## Design
+
+### 1. Daten
+
+Neue nullable Spalte auf `TaskEntity`:
+
+```csharp
+/// <summary>Id des Handler-Task-Runs, der diesen Task behandelt hat (null = keiner).</summary>
+public string? HandlerTaskId { get; set; }
+```
+
+Konfiguration in `TaskEntityConfiguration`: `HasIndex(t => t.HandlerTaskId)`, kein FK-Constraint
+(konsistent mit `BlockedByTaskId`-Handhabung; ein gelöschter Handler-Task soll die behandelten Tasks
+nicht kaskadierend anfassen). EF-Core-Migration `AddHandlerTaskId`.
+
+Ein zweiter Run über dieselben Tasks überschreibt die Zuordnung — gewollt (1:n).
+
+### 2. Schreiben
+
+Die Auswahl wird durchgereicht: UI → `IWorkerClient.CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync` → 
+`WorkerHub.CreateMergeHelperTask` (`src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Hub/WorkerHub.cs:827-838`) →
+`InteractiveLaunchSpecService.CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync`. Nach dem Anlegen des Handler-Tasks setzt
+eine neue Repository-Methode die Zuordnung in einem Batch-Update:
+
+```csharp
+Task<int> SetHandlerTaskIdAsync(IReadOnlyList<string> taskIds, string handlerTaskId, CancellationToken ct);
+```
+
+Der Handler-Task selbst bekommt **kein** `HandlerTaskId` (kein Selbstbezug). Unbekannte Ids werden
+still übersprungen.
+
+### 3. Badge
+
+`TaskRowViewModel`:
+
+```csharp
+public bool IsHandlerRun => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(HandlerBaseCommit);
+public string? HandlerBadge => IsHandlerRun ? Loc.T("tasks.badgeHandler") : null;
+public string? ManualBadge => IsManual && !IsHandlerRun ? Loc.T("tasks.badgeManual") : null;
+```
+
+`HandlerBaseCommit` muss dafür auf das Row-ViewModel und in dessen Mapping aufgenommen werden.
+HANDLER hat Vorrang vor MANUAL — beide Badges nie gleichzeitig.
+
+In `TaskRowView.axaml` analog zu `:141-144` ein `Border Classes="badge handler"` mit
+`ToolTip.Tip="{loc:Tr tasks.handlerTip}"`. In `IslandStyles.axaml` eine `.badge.handler`-Variante
+mit `{DynamicResource HandlerBadgeBrush}`, Token in `Tokens.axaml` für Light und Dark.
+
+Neue Loc-Keys in en.json **und** de.json (Parität ist testgeprüft):
+
+- `tasks.badgeHandler` — "HANDLER" / "HANDLER"
+- `tasks.handlerTip` — "Handler run — lists the tasks it processed" / "Handler-Run — listet die
+  Tasks, die er bearbeitet hat"
+
+### 4. Anzeige
+
+Im Detail-Bereich eines Handler-Tasks eine Liste der behandelten Tasks, parallel zum bestehenden
+Kinder-Panel:
+
+- Neue Collection `HandledTasks` auf `DetailsIslandViewModel`, befüllt von `LoadHandledTasksAsync`
+  mit `Where(t => t.HandlerTaskId == taskId)`, sortiert wie die Kinder-Liste.
+- Zeilen wiederverwenden `ChildOutcomeRowViewModel` (Id, Titel, Status, RoadblockCount,
+  WorktreeState) — keine neue Row-Klasse.
+- Refresh über dieselben `TaskUpdated`-Events wie `ChildOutcomes`; der bestehende
+  `RefreshChildOutcomeAsync`-Pfad (`:814-833`) wird um die zweite Collection erweitert.
+- Sichtbar nur wenn `HandledTasks.Count > 0`.
+- **Keine Klick-Interaktion** — das bestehende `ChildOutcomes`-Template ist eine reine Anzeige
+  (Titel / Roadblock / Status, kein Tapped-Handler). Die neue Liste bleibt identisch; "zum Task
+  springen" wäre neues Verhalten und ist hier nicht enthalten.
+
+### 5. Fehlerfälle
+
+- Handler-Task gelöscht → `HandlerTaskId` der behandelten Tasks zeigt ins Leere; die Tasks bleiben
+  normal nutzbar, das Panel existiert schlicht nicht mehr. Kein Cleanup nötig.
+- Behandelter Task gelöscht → verschwindet aus der Liste (Query läuft live gegen die Tasks).
+- Leere Auswahl → kein Stempeln, Panel bleibt unsichtbar.
+
+## Tests
+
+| Ebene | Test |
+|---|---|
+| Data | `SetHandlerTaskIdAsync` stempelt alle übergebenen Ids, ignoriert unbekannte, überschreibt eine vorhandene Zuordnung |
+| Worker | `CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync` stempelt die übergebene Auswahl und **nicht** den Handler-Task selbst |
+| Ui | `TaskRowViewModel`: HANDLER schlägt MANUAL (`IsManual=true` + `HandlerBaseCommit` gesetzt → nur HANDLER) |
+| Ui | `DetailsIslandViewModel`: `HandledTasks` lädt nach `HandlerTaskId`, aktualisiert sich auf `TaskUpdated` |
+| Localization | Parität en/de — deckt der bestehende Test automatisch ab |
+
+## Bewusst nicht enthalten
+
+- Kein `TaskKind`-Enum.
+- Keine n:m-Historie über mehrere Runs.
+- Kein Phasen-Protokoll (Dedupe-Begründungen, Umformulierungen) — nur das Ergebnis.
+- Kein Per-Task-Diff im Panel; der Diff bleibt am jeweiligen Task.
+- Kein Badge auf den *behandelten* Tasks.
+
+## Offen
+
+- **Sichtprüfung durch Mika:** Badge-Farbe im Light- und Dark-Theme, Position des Panels im
+  Detail-Bereich, Verhalten bei vielen behandelten Tasks (Scroll).

+# UI-Reaktivität und Listen-Performance
+
+**Datum:** 2026-08-07
+**Status:** Design freigegeben, Implementierung offen
+
+## Problem
+
+Zwei Symptome, die als eines gemeldet wurden:
+
+1. **Stale UI.** Ein Task bleibt in der Liste auf `Queued` stehen, obwohl der Worker ihn längst auf `Running` gesetzt hat. Ebenso tauchen extern angelegte Tasks (Online-Inbox, List-Handler) erst nach einem manuellen Neuladen auf. Modals und Overlays zeigen den Stand vom Öffnungszeitpunkt.
+2. **Langsames Laden.** Eine Liste mit ~125 erledigten Tasks braucht 1–2 Sekunden zum Öffnen. Ziel sind Listen mit bis zu ~1000 erledigten Tasks.
+
+## Analyse
+
+### Reaktivität: es fehlt kein Event, es fehlt die Selbstheilung
+
+Der Broadcast-Pfad ist im Grundsatz korrekt: der Worker schreibt in die DB, committet, und sendet danach eine ID über SignalR (`HubBroadcaster`); die UI lädt die Entity frisch nach. WAL-Sichtbarkeit und EF-Change-Tracking wurden als Ursache **ausgeschlossen** — die UI nutzt `IDbContextFactory` mit kurzlebigen Kontexten, und WAL-Reader sehen Commits sofort.
+
+Das eigentliche Problem: **ein einziger verlorener Event ist permanent.** Der einzige Reconcile-Trigger ist heute `ConnectionRestoredEvent`, also ein Verbindungsabbruch. Es gibt drei Wege, auf denen ein Update verloren geht:
+
+| # | Loch | Ort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | Blankes `catch { }` um den gesamten Delta-Pfad. Eine einzige transiente Exception (z.B. `SQLITE_BUSY`) lässt die Zeile dauerhaft auf dem alten Stand — ohne Log, ohne Retry. | `src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Islands/TasksIslandViewModel.cs:224` |
+| 2 | `QueuePicker.ClaimNextAsync` committet `status='running'` sofort. Wirft danach etwas in `RunInSlotAsync` oder im ungeschützten Setup-Block von `TaskRunner.ContinueAsync` (Zeilen 218–238 liegen außerhalb jedes `try`), fängt der Catch das ab und **loggt nur** — kein `FailAsync`, kein Broadcast. DB sagt Running, die UI erfährt es nie. | `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Queue/QueueService.cs:349-352` |
+| 3 | DB-Writes ohne Broadcast. | `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Runner/WorktreeManager.cs:103`, `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Online/OnlineSyncService.cs:131` |
+
+**Korrektur (2026-08-07, bei der Umsetzung gefunden):** `InteractiveLaunchSpecService.cs:447` stand hier ursprünglich als drittes Loch. Das war falsch. Die Service-Methode broadcastet zwar selbst nicht, aber ihr einziger Produktions-Aufrufer `WorkerHub.CreateMergeHelperTask` (`src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Hub/WorkerHub.cs:818`) sendet direkt danach `TaskUpdated` — seit Commit `c07c1f7` vom 2026-08-05, abgesichert durch `MergeHelperTaskHubTests.CreateMergeHelperTask_CreatesIdleManualTask_StampsBaseCommit_Broadcasts`. Der ursprüngliche Befund hatte den DB-Write gesehen, aber den Aufrufer nicht geprüft. Ein Broadcast im Service wäre ein Duplikat gewesen.
+
+Dazu zwei kleinere Befunde:
+
+- **Race im Delta-Pfad.** `OnWorkerTaskUpdated` ist `async void` und hängt an *zwei* Events (`TaskUpdatedEvent` und `WorktreeUpdatedEvent`, `TasksIslandViewModel.cs:117-118`). Der Full-Reload-Zweig ist per `_loadCts` gegen Überholen abgesichert, der Delta-Zweig nicht — ein älterer Read kann einen neueren überschreiben.
+- ~~**Kein Busy-Timeout konfiguriert.**~~ **Widerlegt (2026-08-07, empirisch geprüft).** Die Vermutung war, die blanken Connection-Strings (`src/ClaudeDo.App/Program.cs:95`, `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/Program.cs:61`) ließen einen `SQLITE_BUSY` sofort durchschlagen. Das stimmt nicht: Microsoft.Data.Sqlite 8.0.11 setzt `DefaultTimeout` **von sich aus auf 30 Sekunden**, mit oder ohne das Keyword — gemessen an `SqliteConnectionStringBuilder("Data Source=x.db").DefaultTimeout` → `30`, ebenso `SqliteConnection.DefaultTimeout` und `SqliteCommand.CommandTimeout`. Ein Contention-Test (Writer hält 2s, zweiter Writer parallel) zeigt, dass der zweite wartet und nach ~2030 ms durchkommt, statt zu werfen. Der ursprünglich dafür gemachte Commit `f62dbb9` war ein No-op mit irreführendem Kommentar und wurde mit `ac58679` zurückgenommen. Die tatsächliche Absicherung gegen transiente Lesefehler leistet der Retry im Delta-Pfad, nicht ein Timeout.
+- **`RunCreated` ist ein totes Event.** Wird in `TaskRunner.cs:358` gesendet, hat aber keinen einzigen Abonnenten in der UI.
+
+### Performance: der Engpass ist das Rendering, nicht die Datenbank
+
+SQLite ist hier **nicht** der Engpass, und ein DB-Wechsel würde nichts verbessern. Die Kosten verteilen sich so:
+
+| Posten | bei 125 Zeilen |
+|---|---|
+| SQLite-Read, 125 Zeilen × ~30 Spalten, 2 Joins | < 1 ms |
+| EF-Materialisierung | ~1–5 ms |
+| **Avalonia baut ~8.500 Controls mit Bindings** | **~1.000–1.500 ms** |
+
+Eine `TaskRowView` erzeugt **~68 Controls eager**: ~50 für Struktur und Inhalt plus 18 `MenuItem`-Deklarationen des inline deklarierten ContextMenus (`TaskRowView.axaml:35-85`). Die Liste ist **nicht virtualisiert**: drei `ItemsControl` (Overdue/Open/Completed) liegen in einem gemeinsamen `ScrollViewer` ohne `ItemsPanel`-Override (`TasksIslandView.axaml:100,119,152`). `ItemsControl` nutzt per Default ein normales `StackPanel`, und der gemeinsame `ScrollViewer` gibt allen dreien unbegrenzte Höhe — deshalb würde auch ein bloßes Setzen von `VirtualizingStackPanel` nichts bewirken.
+
+Zeilenhöhe ~68px, verfügbare Listenhöhe auf 2560×1440 ~1250px → **~19 Zeilen gleichzeitig sichtbar**.
+
+| | Controls | geschätzt |
+|---|---|---|
+| heute, 125 Tasks | ~8.500 | 1–2 s |
+| heute, 1000 Tasks | ~68.000 | ~10 s+ |
+| virtualisiert (19 sichtbar + Overscan ≈ 25 Zeilen) | ~1.700 | ~250 ms |
+| + ContextMenu lazy | ~1.250 | ~180 ms |
+
+Entscheidend: die virtualisierten Werte sind **konstant** und gelten für 125 wie für 10.000 Zeilen.
+
+Nebenbefund: `LoadForList` (`TasksIslandViewModel.cs:305-309`) hat **kein `.Where()` vor `ToListAsync()`** — es lädt die komplette `tasks`-Tabelle aller Listen mit zwei Joins und filtert danach in C#. Die vorhandenen Indizes (`idx_tasks_list_id`, `idx_tasks_status`) werden dadurch nie genutzt. Bei der heutigen DB-Größe unkritisch, aber es skaliert mit der DB-Gesamtgröße statt mit der Listengröße.
+
+### Drag & Drop: architektonisch virtualisierungsfähig
+
+Die Task-Liste nutzt **kein** Avalonia-`DragDrop` pro Item, sondern ein eigenes Ghost-Drag:
+
+- Vier Pointer-Handler hängen **zentral** an der `TasksIslandView` (`TasksIslandView.axaml.cs:40-43`, Tunnel-Routing) — keine pro-Zeile registrierten Handler, die beim Container-Recycling leaken könnten.
+- Das Ziel wird per `InputHitTest` live ermittelt (`TasksIslandView.axaml.cs:304-329`) — kein Index-Hack, recycling-sicher.
+- Drop-Hints sind reine ViewModel-Properties (`TaskRowViewModel.cs:25-26`, `DropHintAbove`/`DropHintBelow`).
+- Der Ghost ist ein `RenderTargetBitmap`-Snapshot in einem separaten Topmost-Fenster (`Views/Controls/TaskDragController.cs`), losgelöst vom Visual Tree.
+
+Anzupassen sind:
+
+- `FindNextInSameSection` und `SectionFor` (`TasksIslandViewModel.cs:366-374`, `:622-628`) iterieren per `IndexOf` über die drei UI-Collections. Die flache Master-Collection `Items` existiert bereits (`TasksIslandViewModel.cs:55`) und ist korrekt sortiert — das ist der Grund, warum das Flatten bezahlbar ist.
+- **Auto-Scroll beim Ziehen fehlt komplett.** Fällt heute weniger auf, weil alle Container realisiert sind; bei einer virtualisierten Liste ist es Pflicht.
+- **Bestehender Bug:** Zieht man über eine Gruppengrenze, prüft `ReorderAsync` (`TasksIslandViewModel.cs:560-563`) zwar die Sektion, verschiebt bei ungleichen Sektionen aber nur `Items` ohne anschließendes `Regroup()`. `SortOrder` landet in der DB, die UI zeigt nichts.
+- **Kein Präzedenzfall:** im gesamten `ClaudeDo.Ui`-Projekt existiert kein `VirtualizingStackPanel` und kein `ItemsRepeater`.
+
+### Drag-Optik
+
+Heute laufen zwei Darstellungen derselben Zeile gleichzeitig: der Bitmap-Ghost am Cursor **und** die Originalzeile mit `Opacity 0.55`, `scale(1.03)`, BoxShadow und Accent-Rand (`IslandStyles.axaml:441-446`). `scale(1.03)` ändert kein Layout und überlappt daher die Nachbarzeilen. Das Feedback für das Drop-Ziel ist der ganz normale `:pointerover`-Hover (`IslandStyles.axaml:433-435`, setzt nur `BorderBrush`) — dasselbe Signal wie beim harmlosen Drüberfahren; einen eigenen `drop-target`-Style gibt es nur für die Lists-Island (`Border.list-item.drop-target`). Zusätzlich laufen `BrushTransition` (0.12s) und `ThicknessTransition` auf `Margin` (0.15s) auch während des Drags mit, was die Rückmeldung verschwimmen lässt.
+
+## Verworfene Alternativen
+
+| Alternative | Warum verworfen |
+|---|---|
+| **SQLite ersetzen** | Kein Engpass. Der DB-Read liegt unter 1 ms; die Zeit steckt zu >95% im Aufbau des Visual Tree. Monatelange Arbeit für null messbaren Gewinn. |
+| **Nur Task-Titel laden, Rest lazy beim Öffnen** | Richtige Intuition, falsche Ebene. Spart Bytes aus einer lokalen Datei, die in unter 1 ms gelesen wird. Die 125 Zeilen werden weiterhin als 125 vollständige `TaskRowView` gebaut. Um wirklich zu sparen, müsste das Zeilen-Template entkernt werden — also genau die Chips und Icons entfallen, wegen derer die Liste nützlich ist. Als *Zusatz* (schlanke Projektion für Speicher/Materialisierung) sinnvoll, als Hauptmaßnahme nicht. |
+| **Completed einklappen + „mehr laden"** | Billig und sofort wirksam, aber aufgeklappt mit 1000 Zeilen hängt es wieder. Bleibt als **Fallback**, falls der Virtualisierungs-Spike scheitert. |
+| **Completed archivieren** | Löst das Problem durch Vermeidung; der Wunsch war ausdrücklich, 1000 erledigte Tasks sehen zu können. |
+| **`Revision`-Spalte / Change-Feed** | Strukturell sauber (verlorene Events wären egal, Race gelöst), aber Migration plus Anpassung jedes Schreibpfads. Für eine Single-User-Desktop-App mit lokaler DB Overkill; der Reconcile-Tick erreicht dasselbe Ziel deutlich billiger. Bleibt als Eskalation, falls Phase 3 in der Praxis nicht reicht. |
+| **Nur die Löcher stopfen (ohne Reconcile)** | Behebt die bekannten Fälle, lässt die Architektur „ein verlorener Event = permanent stale" aber intakt. Das nächste Loch kommt mit dem nächsten Feature. |
+
+## Design
+
+### Phase 1 — Reaktivitäts-Löcher schließen
+
+Unabhängig von Phase 2 und 3, kann sofort starten.
+
+| Fix | Ort |
+|---|---|
+| `catch { }` ersetzen durch Log + einmaligen Retry. **Kein** Footer-Error — das ist ein Hintergrund-Refresh, keine Nutzeraktion. | `TasksIslandViewModel.cs:224` |
+| Catch-Block ruft `_state.FailAsync` (das selbst broadcastet), statt nur zu loggen; `OperationCanceledException` bleibt ausgenommen | `QueueService.cs:349-352` |
+| `WorktreeUpdated` nach dem Insert broadcasten | `Runner/WorktreeManager.cs:103` |
+| `TaskUpdated` nach dem Insert broadcasten | `Online/OnlineSyncService.cs:131` |
+| Monotone Sequenznummer pro TaskId im Delta-Pfad; Ergebnisse mit veralteter Sequenz verwerfen | `OnWorkerTaskUpdated` |
+| `RunCreated` ersatzlos entfernen (totes Event ohne Abonnent) | `HubBroadcaster`, `TaskRunner.cs:358` |
+
+Der ungeschützte Setup-Block in `TaskRunner.ContinueAsync` (Zeilen 218–238) wird **nicht** separat umgebaut: sobald `RunInSlotAsync` im Fehlerfall `FailAsync` ruft, ist jede dort geworfene Exception abgedeckt — der Task landet auf `Failed` und der Broadcast erfolgt. Ein zweiter Schutzwall wäre doppelt.
+
+### Phase 2 — Flache virtualisierte Liste
+
+**Datenmodell.** `Regroup()` erzeugt statt drei Collections **eine** `Rows`-Collection vom Union-Typ (`HeaderRow` | `TaskRowViewModel`), abgeleitet aus der bereits vorhandenen flachen `Items`. Gruppenüberschriften werden zu regulären Einträgen:
+
+```
+Rows
+ [0]  HeaderRow   "Überfällig (3)"
+ [1]  TaskRow     …
+ [4]  HeaderRow   "Offen (12)"
+ …
+ [17] HeaderRow   "Erledigt (125)"
+ …
+```
+
+**View.** Eine `ListBox` mit `VirtualizingStackPanel` und einem DataTemplate-Selector (Header / Task) ersetzt die drei `ItemsControl` und den umschließenden `ScrollViewer`.
+
+**Drag.** `FindNextInSameSection`, `SectionFor` und `ReorderAsync` rechnen gegen `Items` statt gegen die UI-Collections. Auto-Scroll beim Ziehen an den Listenrand wird neu gebaut. Der Cross-Section-Reorder-Bug wird im selben Zug behoben, da die Sektionsgrenzen in der flachen Struktur ohnehin explizit modelliert werden müssen.
+
+**Zeilenkosten.** Das ContextMenu wird bei `ContextRequested` im Code-Behind aufgebaut statt als 18 `MenuItem`s pro Template-Instanz.
+
+**Query.** `.Where()` wandert vor `ToListAsync()`, damit die Query mit der Listengröße statt der DB-Gesamtgröße skaliert. Erfordert Umbau von `ITaskListFilter` von In-Memory-Prädikaten (`Matches(TaskEntity)`) auf `IQueryable`-Expressions.
+
+**Drag-Optik (Variante A).** Ghost folgt dem Cursor; die Originalzeile kollabiert zu einer leeren, gestrichelten Lücke, die beim Ziehen an die jeweilige Zielposition mitwandert.
+
+```
+   ┌──────────────────────┐
+   │ Fix login bug        │
+   ├──────────────────────┤
+   │ ╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌ │ ← leerer Slot, wandert mit
+   ├──────────────────────┤
+   │ Rebase branch        │
+   └──────────────────────┘
+        ┌────────────────┐
+        │ Update deps    │ ← Ghost am Cursor
+        └────────────────┘
+```
+
+Begleitend: `scale(1.03)` und BoxShadow auf der gezogenen Zeile entfallen; der normale `:pointerover`-Hover wird während eines aktiven Drags per `dragging`-Klasse am Container unterdrückt; Transitions sind während des Drags aus.
+
+### Phase 3 — Reconcile-Tick
+
+Setzt Phase 2 voraus: auf einer Liste, die 1–2 s zum Laden braucht, würde ein periodischer Abgleich alles verschlimmern.
+
+Ein Timer (3–5 s) gleicht die **sichtbaren** Rows gegen die lokale SQLite ab und **patcht ausschließlich Properties** — er baut nie Zeilen neu und löst nie einen `LoadForList` aus. Bei einer lokalen DB und wenigen Dutzend sichtbaren Zeilen ist das ein einzelner indizierter Query.
+
+Damit ist jeder verlorene Event nach spätestens einem Tick geheilt, unabhängig davon, wo er fehlte. Derselbe Tick versorgt zusätzlich die langlebigen Overlays: Worktrees-Overview, LogVisualizer und die MergeHelper-Auswahl.
+
+Kurzlebige Modals (Settings, ListSettings, RepoImport, WeeklyReport, ConflictResolver) bleiben bewusst statisch — ein Dialog, der sich unter den Fingern des Nutzers ändert, ist schlechter als einer, der den Stand vom Öffnen zeigt.
+
+## Tests
+
+- **Worker.Tests:** Broadcast-Assertions über einen Fake-Broadcaster auf allen in Phase 1 gefixten Pfaden — insbesondere, dass der Fehlerfall in `RunInSlotAsync` einen Broadcast auslöst.
+- **Ui.Tests:** Der Reconcile-Tick patcht abweichende Properties; ein Ergebnis mit veralteter Sequenznummer wird verworfen; `Regroup()` erzeugt die korrekte `Rows`-Folge inklusive Header-Positionen und -Zählern.
+- **Nicht automatisiert testbar:** Ladezeit und Drag-Optik. Beides erfordert eine manuelle Gegenmessung mit einer großen Liste durch den Nutzer.
+
+Keine Tests, die die echte `claude`-CLI starten.
+
+## Risiken
+
+1. **Kein Virtualisierungs-Präzedenzfall im Projekt.** Das HitTest-basierte Custom-Drag ist theoretisch tragfähig, aber nie gegen recycelte Container verifiziert. **Die erste Aufgabe in Phase 2 ist ein Spike**, kein Umbau: eine virtualisierte Liste mit dem bestehenden Drag, inklusive Recycling während eines aktiven Drags und Auto-Scroll. Scheitert der Spike, ist der Fallback „Completed einklappen + nachladen".
+2. **Variable Zeilenhöhen.** 68 px im Normalfall, 90–110 px bei zweizeiligem Titel oder mehreren Badges. `VirtualizingStackPanel` beherrscht das, aber die Scrollbar springt dabei gern, weil die Gesamthöhe geschätzt wird. Muss im Spike mitgeprüft werden.
+3. **`ITaskListFilter`-Umbau.** Die Umstellung auf `IQueryable`-Expressions berührt die Filter-Registry (`src/ClaudeDo.Data/Filtering/`) und damit auch die virtuellen Listen. Kann bei Bedarf aus Phase 2 herausgelöst und nachgezogen werden — der Performance-Gewinn liegt heute ohnehin fast vollständig beim Rendering.
+
+## Reihenfolge
+
+Phase 1 → Phase 2 (Spike zuerst) → Phase 3. Phase 1 ist unabhängig und kann parallel oder vorab laufen.

-- **Transients**: modal VMs (`SettingsModalViewModel`, `MergeModalViewModel`, `ListSettingsModalViewModel`, `RepoImportModalViewModel`, `WeeklyReportModalViewModel`, `DiffViewerViewModel`, `WorktreesOverviewModalViewModel`, `PrimeClaudeTabViewModel`), several exposed as `Func<T>` factories for on-demand dialog creation (`Func<DiffViewerViewModel>` for the diff viewer); `ConflictResolverViewModel` via a `Func<string, ConflictResolverViewModel>` factory keyed by taskId (singleton factory, handed to `IslandsShellViewModel.ConflictResolverFactory`)

 ## Models
 
-- **TaskEntity** — Id, ListId, Title, Description, Status (`Idle|Queued|Running|WaitingForChildren|WaitingForReview|Done|Failed|Cancelled`), PlanningPhase (`None|Active|Finalized` — parent-only), BlockedByTaskId (nullable FK to predecessor in a chain), ScheduledFor, Result, ReviewFeedback (nullable; reviewer's rejection comment, consumed and cleared by the runner on the next re-run), LogPath, timestamps, CommitType, Model / SystemPrompt / AgentPath / MaxTurns (nullable overrides), IsStarred, IsMyDay, IsManual (reminder only the user can do — automation skips it), Notes, ParentTaskId, PlanningSessionId, PlanningSessionToken, PlanningFinalizedAt, CreatedBy, HandlerBaseCommit / HandlerHeadCommit (nullable; review range for a worktree-less "list handler" host task — Mission Control's "Let Claude handle it" — which commits straight into the list's working dir instead of a per-task worktree: `HandlerBaseCommit` is stamped to the list repo's HEAD when the host task is created, `HandlerHeadCommit` when it's submitted for review; the Worker's `SubmitTaskForReview`/`GetTaskDiff` and the Ui's `DetailsIslandViewModel`/`MergeSectionViewModel` fall back to this pair whenever `Worktree` is null). Legacy values `Manual`/`Planning`/`Planned`/`Draft`/`Waiting` were retired; existing rows backfill automatically via the `RetireLegacyTaskStatus` migration.
+- **TaskEntity** — Id, ListId, Title, Description, Status, PlanningPhase, BlockedByTaskId (FK to predecessor in a chain), ScheduledFor, Result, ReviewFeedback, LogPath, timestamps, CommitType, Model / SystemPrompt / AgentPath / MaxTurns (nullable overrides), IsStarred, IsMyDay, IsManual, Notes, ParentTaskId, PlanningSessionId / PlanningSessionToken / PlanningFinalizedAt, CreatedBy, HandlerBaseCommit / HandlerHeadCommit, InteractiveSessionId.
+  - Status / PlanningPhase / BlockedByTaskId semantics + allowed transitions: `ClaudeDo.Worker/CLAUDE.md` → Status Model.
+  - `HandlerBaseCommit`/`HandlerHeadCommit` = the review range for a **worktree-less "list handler" host task** ("Let Claude handle it"), which commits straight into the list's working dir instead of a per-task worktree. Everything that reads a task's diff falls back to this pair whenever `Worktree` is null → [conpty-sessions](../../docs/explore-notes/conpty-sessions.md).
+  - `InteractiveSessionId` = the claude session id an embedded ConPTY interactive task session runs under, persisted by `InteractiveLaunchSpecService` before launch so a closed/aborted session can be resumed → [conpty-sessions](../../docs/explore-notes/conpty-sessions.md).
+  - Legacy status values `Manual`/`Planning`/`Planned`/`Draft`/`Waiting` were retired; existing rows backfill via the `RetireLegacyTaskStatus` migration.
 - **ListEntity** — Id, Name, WorkingDir, DefaultCommitType, CreatedAt, IsManual (reminder list — tasks created here default to `IsManual`)
-- **ListConfigEntity** — ListId (PK, 1:1 with list), Model, SystemPrompt, AgentPath, MaxTurns, SessionSkills, VerifyCommand (all nullable). `VerifyCommand` is an optional post-merge gate (see `ClaudeDo.Worker/CLAUDE.md` → TaskMergeService): null/blank = today's behavior, no gate.
-- **WorktreeEntity** — TaskId (PK, 1:1 with task), Path, BranchName, BaseCommit, HeadCommit, DiffStat, MergeCommit (nullable; SHA of the merge commit this worktree's branch produced on the target branch, stamped by `TaskMergeService` the moment a merge/continue-merge succeeds — the only thing that makes `revert_merge` possible without heuristically searching `git log`; null for any worktree merged before this field existed), State (Active|Merged|Discarded|Kept)
-- **TaskRunEntity** — per-run record (session_id, tokens, turns, result, structured output, exit code, log path, nullable `Model` — the model the run actually executed with, column `model`)
-- **PrimeScheduleEntity** — Id, Days (`[Flags] PrimeDays` weekday bitmask, stored as `days_of_week` int), TimeOfDay, Enabled, LastRunAt, PromptOverride, CreatedAt. Recurs on the selected weekdays; no date range.
-- **DailyNoteEntity** — Id, Date (DateOnly), Text, SortOrder, CreatedAt → table `daily_notes`
-- **WeekReportEntity** — Id, StartDate/EndDate (DateOnly), Markdown, GeneratedAt → table `week_reports`, unique index on (start_date, end_date)
-- **TaskAttachmentEntity** — Id, TaskId (FK to tasks, ON DELETE CASCADE), FileName, ByteSize, CreatedAt → table `task_attachments`
-- **AppSettingsEntity** also carries `ReportExcludedPaths` (string?, JSON array of excluded path prefixes, column `report_excluded_paths`), `StandupWeekday` (int DayOfWeek, default Wednesday, column `standup_weekday`), and `DailyPrepMaxTasks` (int, default 5, column `daily_prep_max_tasks` — hard cap on how many open tasks the daily-prep / "Prime Claude" feature may place in MyDay) , `ModelPresets` (string?, JSON array of `ModelPreset` rows, column `model_presets`), and `UsageGateFiveHourPct` / `UsageGateSevenDayPct` (int, defaults 80/90, columns `usage_gate_five_hour_pct` / `usage_gate_seven_day_pct` — percentage of the 5h/7d Claude usage window at which the autonomous queue pauses; `0` = gate off; `AppSettingsRepository.UpdateAsync` clamps both to 0..100)
-- **ModelPresets** / **ModelPreset** — per-model run defaults (`Model`, `Effort`, `MaxTurns`): one row per `ModelRegistry.Aliases` entry, supplying the **global** effort and max-turns defaults. `Parse`/`Serialize` normalize (unknown models dropped, missing aliases filled from `Defaults`, effort validated, turns clamped 1–200) and never throw — a malformed settings row must not stop a run. `For(presets, model, fallbackMaxTurns = 30)` always returns a usable row: `model` is resolved through `ModelRegistry.TryNormalizeAlias` first, so a full CLI model id (e.g. `claude-sonnet-4-6`) still hits its alias's preset row instead of missing every lookup and falling through; only a model that normalizes to nothing recognized falls back to a synthesized row (`EffortRegistry.DefaultLevel` + `fallbackMaxTurns` — callers pass `AppSettings.DefaultMaxTurns` here so that setting has a real effect instead of a hardcoded number). Ship defaults: haiku medium/20, sonnet high/30, opus high/40, fable high/25.
-- **ModelRegistry.TryNormalizeAlias** — non-throwing counterpart to `NormalizeAlias` for the run path: exact alias match, then substring match against a full model id, else `null`. Never throws, unlike `NormalizeAlias` (which stays the strict, throwing validator for `add_task`/planning model input).
-- **EffortRegistry** — the `--effort` levels (`low|medium|high|xhigh|max`) + `NormalizeLevel` (blank → null = don't pass the flag)
-- **SubtaskEntity**, **AppSettingsEntity**, **AgentInfo** — existing helpers / settings / record for scanned agent files
+- **ListConfigEntity** — ListId (PK, 1:1), Model, SystemPrompt, AgentPath, MaxTurns, SessionSkills, VerifyCommand (all nullable). `VerifyCommand` is an optional post-merge gate; null/blank = no gate → [review-merge](../../docs/explore-notes/review-merge.md).
+- **WorktreeEntity** — TaskId (PK, 1:1), Path, BranchName, BaseCommit, HeadCommit, DiffStat, MergeCommit (nullable — SHA of the merge commit this branch produced; the only thing making `revert_merge` possible without searching `git log`), State (`Active|Merged|Discarded|Kept`)
+- **TaskRunEntity** — per-run record: session_id, turns, result, structured output, exit code, log path, nullable `Model` (what the run actually executed with), and `TokensIn`/`TokensOut`/`CacheReadTokens`/`CacheWriteTokens`. ⚠️ Token fields come from the **session transcript**, not the stream-json event, as a per-run delta → [usage-monitoring](../../docs/explore-notes/usage-monitoring.md).
+- **PrimeScheduleEntity** — Id, Days (`[Flags] PrimeDays` weekday bitmask, column `days_of_week`), TimeOfDay, Enabled, LastRunAt, PromptOverride, CreatedAt. Recurs on selected weekdays; no date range.
+- **DailyNoteEntity** — Id, Date (DateOnly), Text, SortOrder, CreatedAt → `daily_notes`

+- **TaskAttachmentEntity** — Id, TaskId (FK, ON DELETE CASCADE), FileName, ByteSize, CreatedAt → `task_attachments`
+- **SubtaskEntity**, **AgentInfo** — subtasks / record for scanned agent files

+### AppSettingsEntity
+
+Beyond the basics it carries:
+
+| Property | Column | Default | Note |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `DefaultMaxTurns` | `default_max_turns` | **40** | Lowered from 100; `AddMaxTurnsCeiling` backfilled the seeded row. |
+| `MaxTurnsCeiling` | `max_turns_ceiling` | 80 | Hard ceiling every resolved max-turns value (task/list/global) is clamped to before a run. `UpdateAsync` clamps to min 1. |
+| `ModelPresets` | `model_presets` | seeded | JSON array of `ModelPreset` rows. ⚠️ `AppSettingsRepository.GetAsync` **backfills shipping defaults on the first read after it's null**, so it's never null once a run has started. |
+| `UsageGateFiveHourPct` / `UsageGateSevenDayPct` | `usage_gate_*_pct` | 80 / 90 | Queue pause thresholds; `0` = off. |
+| `UsageThrottle{FiveHour,SevenDay}{Soft,Hard}Pct` | `usage_throttle_{five_hour,seven_day}_{soft,hard}_pct` | 50 / 65 per bucket | Staged parallelism below the hard gate, **per bucket**; `0` = that stage off. Edited by dragging the usage-monitor gauges. |
+| `DailyPrepMaxTasks` | `daily_prep_max_tasks` | 5 | Hard cap on MyDay tasks the daily prep may place. |
+| `ReportExcludedPaths` | `report_excluded_paths` | null | JSON array of excluded path prefixes. |
+| `StandupWeekday` | `standup_weekday` | Wednesday | int `DayOfWeek`. |
+
+All four usage percentages are clamped 0..100 by `AppSettingsRepository.UpdateAsync`.

+- **ModelPresets / ModelPreset** — per-model run defaults (`Model`, `Effort`, `MaxTurns`), one row per `ModelRegistry.Aliases` entry, supplying the **global** effort and max-turns defaults. Ship defaults: haiku medium/20, sonnet high/30, opus high/40, fable high/25. `Parse`/`Serialize` normalize (unknown models dropped, missing aliases filled from `Defaults`, effort validated, turns clamped 1–200) and **never throw** — a malformed settings row must not stop a run. `For(presets, model, fallbackMaxTurns)` always returns a usable row; resolution order and the fallback trap → [worker-task-pipeline](../../docs/explore-notes/worker-task-pipeline.md).
+- **ModelRegistry** — `NormalizeAlias` is the strict, **throwing** validator for `add_task`/planning model input. `TryNormalizeAlias` is the non-throwing counterpart for the run path (exact alias match, then substring match against a full model id, else `null`). `ByCostAscending` = the cost order the prompts use.
+- **EffortRegistry** — the `--effort` levels (`low|medium|high|xhigh|max`) + `NormalizeLevel` (blank → null = don't pass the flag).
 
 ## Repositories
 
-All repositories use EF Core LINQ queries via `ClaudeDoDbContext`. The atomic `Queued -> Running` claim lives in the Worker's `QueuePicker` (uses `FromSqlRaw`), not here.

-- **AttachmentStore** — dependency-free file store; default root `~/.todo-app/attachments/<taskId>/`. `SaveAsync` enforces a 5 MB cap and path-traversal/containment guard. Also exposes `DeleteFile`, `DeleteTaskDir`, `TaskDir`, `Root`, and `EnumerateTaskIds` (used by the worker orphan sweep). Attachment files live outside git worktrees intentionally.

 ## Git
 
-- **GitService** — async wrapper around git CLI (ProcessStartInfo, no shell). Worktree ops (add — serialized to avoid a commondir race —, remove, prune, list paths for branch), branch ops (current, list local, checkout, delete), staging/commit (status porcelain, add-all, add-path, commit via stdin), diffs (working tree, branch vs base, commit range `base..head` — used to show a merged task's diff after the worktree is gone —, per-file, diff-stat, committed files, has-changes), merge (ff-only, no-ff, abort, mid-merge detection, conflicted files), revert (`RevertMergeCommitAsync` — `git revert --no-edit -m 1 <sha>`, reverts a merge commit against its first parent; `RevertAbortAsync`; `IsMidRevertAsync` — `REVERT_HEAD` presence, mirrors `IsMidMergeAsync`'s `MERGE_HEAD`), `PreviewMergeAsync` (non-destructive mergeability check via `git merge-tree --write-tree`), `CountChangedFilesAsync`, rev-parse, is-git-repo. Revert never resets/rewrites — it always produces a new commit, because the working directory it operates on is shared with other concurrent sessions.

 ## Schema
 
-Tables: `lists`, `tasks`, `worktrees`, `list_config`, `task_runs`, `subtasks`, `app_settings`, `prime_schedules`, `daily_notes`, `week_reports`, `task_attachments`. Managed by EF Core migrations in the `Migrations/` folder. The `tasks` table holds `status`, `planning_phase` (default `none`), and `blocked_by_task_id` (FK to `tasks.id`, `ON DELETE SET NULL`). Migration `WeeklyReport` added `daily_notes`, `week_reports`, and the two new `app_settings` columns. Migration `DailyPrepMaxTasks` added the `daily_prep_max_tasks` column to `app_settings` (no new tables). Migration `AddTaskAttachments` created the `task_attachments` table. Migration `AddModelPresetsAndManualFlag` added `app_settings.model_presets` plus the `is_manual` flags on `tasks` and `lists`. Migration `AddHandlerCommitRange` added the nullable `handler_base_commit`/`handler_head_commit` columns to `tasks`. Migration `AddUsageGateAndRunModel` added `app_settings.usage_gate_five_hour_pct`/`usage_gate_seven_day_pct` (defaults 80/90) and the nullable `task_runs.model` column. Migration `AddWorktreeMergeCommit` added the nullable `worktrees.merge_commit` column. Migration `AddVerifyCommand` added the nullable `list_config.verify_command` column. `TaskRepository.DeleteAsync` and `ListRepository.DeleteAsync` also delete the on-disk attachment dir(s) via an optional `AttachmentStore` ctor param (defaults to the production store).

Ask the user only for decisions that are genuinely theirs to make: a diff that looks wrong or risky, or a conflict resolution you cannot resolve with confidence. Everything else, decide and keep moving.
+
+        Your job: take the tasks listed in the brief and drive them to merged, Done work — running them, 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.
+
+        A prior session already read, deduplicated and sharpened these tasks; their descriptions are ready to run as written. Start at Phase 3.
+
+        Work the three phases in order. Do not start a phase before the previous one is finished.
+
         ## 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".
+        Do NOT use run_task_now for a batch — there is a single override slot and the second call fails with "Override slot busy. Try again later.".
 
         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.
 
-        For each surviving task, resolve the effective max-turns it will run with — task.MaxTurns, else the list's get_list_config MaxTurns, else the model's preset/global default — and report it. If a task looks substantial (several files, or one you just split off above) but its effective turns look low, say so and ask before queuing it; set_task_config/get_task_config let you raise it per task.
+        For each surviving task, call get_effective_run_config(taskId) and report the max-turns it will ACTUALLY run with. Do not derive that from task/list/preset values yourself — the resolved value is clamped to a global ceiling, so a raw task or list setting can be higher than what runs. The tool reports the effective value, its source, the raw requested value and whether it was clamped. If a task looks substantial (several files, or one you just split off above) but its effective turns look low, say so and ask before queuing it; set_task_config raises it per task, though the ceiling still applies.
 
         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.
+        - Running or WaitingForChildren → leave it; the wait below covers it.
         - WaitingForReview → leave it; it goes straight to Phase 4.
 
-        Call wait_for_task_change with the ids of every task still Queued or Running (timeoutSeconds up to 170) instead of sleeping and polling get_task yourself. It returns as soon as any of them leaves Queued/Running — WaitingForReview on success, Failed on error — or reports timedOut if none did. Report progress as tasks land, then call it again with whatever ids are still Queued/Running until none remain.
+        Then wait with wait_for_task_change instead of sleeping and polling get_task yourself. Pass the ids of every task not yet in WaitingForReview or a terminal status — Queued, Running and WaitingForChildren alike — and set treatWaitingForChildrenAsBusy=true. Without that flag a task with children returns the moment it goes Running → WaitingForChildren, while its children are still working, and you would walk into Phase 4 with unfinished work. Use timeoutSeconds 900: the server clamps there anyway, and ClaudeDo's launchers already raise MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT above it, so one long wait costs one turn where six short ones cost six.
+
+        It returns as soon as a task reaches WaitingForReview or fails, or reports timedOut if none did. Report progress as tasks land, then call it again with whatever ids are still outstanding until none remain.
 
         ## Phase 4 — Review and merge
         Before merging anything, call preview_merge_set with every surviving task's id (the same targetBranch you are about to merge into). It tells you, per task, whether a clean merge-tree preview is even possible (status/conflictFiles/changedFileCount/behind) and which files more than one of the tasks changed (overlaps). Read the overlaps: a file two tasks both touch is where a same-branch collision could happen. This is a HINT, not proof — it only catches same-file overlap, not a cross-file break (e.g. one task deletes a symbol another task's file still references), and a clean preview never guarantees the result compiles or passes tests. Use it to decide merge order and to know which pairs to look at extra carefully in step 1 below; it does not replace reading the diffs.

+## Environment Checks
+
+`Checks/` holds one `IEnvironmentCheck` per concern, run in parallel by `EnvironmentCheckService.RunAllAsync`:
+
+| Check | Severity | What it verifies |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GitCheck` | Error | `git` resolvable (via `ExecutableResolver`) and runs |
+| `WriteAccessCheck` | Error | install dir + `%APPDATA%` (or first existing parent) are writable |
+| `ClaudeCliCheck` | Error | `claude` resolvable on PATH, including npm `.cmd`/`.bat`/`.ps1` shims |
+| `ClaudeVersionCheck` | Error | resolved `claude --version` ≥ `ClaudeVersionCheck.MinimumVersion` (currently `2.1.220`) |
+| `ClaudeAuthCheck` | Error | `claude auth status --json` reports `loggedIn: true` (never sends a prompt) |
+| `GitIdentityCheck` | Warning | `git config user.name`/`user.email` are set |
+| `PortCheck` | Warning | `SignalRPort`/`ExternalMcpPort` are free, or already owned by a running `ClaudeDo.Worker` |
+| `PermissionModeAutoCheck` | Warning | CLI's `--help` still lists `auto` as a `--permission-mode` choice |
+
+Each check returns a `CheckResult` with `CheckStatus` (`Ok` / `Failed` / `Unknown`). A check that
+throws is caught by `EnvironmentCheckService` and turned into `Unknown`, never a crash.
+
+**Gating rule:** `EnvironmentCheckReport.HasBlockingError` is true only when a check with
+`Severity == Error` has `Status == Failed`. Warnings never block, and `Unknown` never blocks
+regardless of severity (an indeterminate result — e.g. the CLI not found, so version/auth/auto-mode
+can't be checked — must not strand the user; the underlying `Error`-severity check for the CLI
+itself, `ClaudeCliCheck`, is what blocks in that case).
+
+The check-row rendering and the check-run logic (busy state, summary text, Recheck command) live
+in one place — `Checks/CheckListViewModel.cs` + `Checks/CheckListView.xaml` — composed by every
+page that hosts a check list, not duplicated per page.
+
+`SystemCheckPage` (`Pages/SystemCheckPage/`) hosts the check list in the **FreshInstall** wizard
+only, registered via `PageResolver` at `Order = 1` (directly after `WelcomePage`); `WizardViewModel`
+filters it back out in `Update` mode along with Paths/Service/UiSettings. Checks run automatically
+on page entry (`LoadAsync`, guarded against double-entry). "Next" is disabled via
+`IInstallerPage.BlocksNavigation` (`IsRunning || HasBlockingError`) — `WizardViewModel.CanGoNext`
+subscribes to `PropertyChanged` on the current page so a live recheck can flip it back. A "Recheck"
+button re-runs `EnvironmentCheckService.RunAllAsync` (disabled while already running).
+
+**"Claude Help Me" button** (`Core/ClaudeHelpLauncher.cs`) — a second button below the shared
+check-list footer, enabled only when `claude-cli` is `Ok` and `claude-auth` is not `Failed` (`Unknown`
+stays enabled — an indeterminate login state shouldn't block the one feature that could help
+diagnose it). `BuildReportAsync` renders all check results (Id/Severity/Status/Message table,
+plus the full `Detail` of any `Failed` check) and system info (OS, `dotnet --list-runtimes`,
+resolved `git`/`claude` messages, planned install dir/ports) into
+`%TEMP%\claudedo-setup-diagnose.md` — English and hardcoded (an AI assistant reads it, not the
+user) and deliberately excludes credentials/tokens/env-var dumps. `LaunchTerminal` then opens
+`wt.exe -d %TEMP% cmd.exe /k <claude> <prompt>` (or `cmd.exe /k <claude> <prompt>` if `wt.exe`
+isn't resolvable) via the injectable `IProcessLauncher`, pointing the initial prompt at that
+report file. Errors from either step surface as `ClaudeHelpError` on the page, never an
+exception. It reads the last report via `CheckListViewModel.LastReport`, so it re-evaluates on
+every check run.
+
+`DiagnosePage` (`Pages/DiagnosePage/`) hosts the same `CheckListView` in `SettingsWindow` (Config
+mode only, `ShowInSettings = true` / `ShowInWizard = false`, `Order = 5` — after UiSettings).
+Nothing here blocks navigation and checks do **not** auto-run on load — only on a "Recheck" click.
+Unlike the wizard, its `InstallContext` is built from the **installed** configuration
+(`InstallerWorkerConfig.Load()` for `ClaudeBin`/`SignalRPort`, the shared `InstallContext` for
+`InstallDirectory`/`ExternalMcpPort`), refreshed on every `LoadAsync()` — not the wizard-default
+`InstallContext` the DI container hands out, which is only populated once a page's `ApplyAsync`
+(i.e. Save) runs. `DiagnosePage` intentionally has **no** "Claude Help Me" button — that one is
+wizard-only.

-## ViewModels
+## Core ViewModels
 
-- **IslandsShellViewModel** — root coordinator; owns the three island VMs and the `WorkerClient`, wires cross-island events (selection, notes/prep mode, conflict resolution), owns connection state, the update banner, the inline worker-log strip (clickable → Log Visualizer overlay via `OpenLogVisualizerCommand`; `FlashFooterError` surfaces UI-action failures + the worker's Serilog Warn/Error there), responsive-layout flags (`ShowLists`/`ShowDetails` by window width), `PrimeStatus` flash, and the modal openers (About, RepoImport, WeeklyReport, WorktreesOverview, WorkerConnection help, LogVisualizer) plus `RestartWorkerAsync`/`CheckForUpdatesAsync`. Hosts `UpdateCheckService`.
+- **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`.
-- **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 (approve, reject-rerun, reject-park, cancel); planning session lifecycle (open/resume/discard/finalize, `QueuePlanningSubtasksAsync`); `RefineTask`, `OpenConPtySessionRequested` (embedded ConPTY terminal), `ToggleManual` (per-task manual flag) and `SyncInteractiveSessions` (mirrors Mission Control's open ConPTY panes onto the rows); MyDay extras (`IsMyDayList`, `ClearDayCommand`, `ShowPrepLogCommand`) and the pinned Notes pseudo-row (`ShowNotesRow`, `OpenNotesCommand`). Raises `NotesRequested`/`PrepRequested` events consumed by the shell.
-- **DetailsIslandViewModel** — the detail pane for a bound `TaskRowViewModel`. Owns live-log streaming (`Log` via `StreamLineFormatter`), debounced title/description editing, subtasks, session-outcome/roadblock split (splits `Result` at the roadblock marker into two cards) — the ROADBLOCK card also has a reply field (`RoadblockReplyDraft`/`SendRoadblockReplyCommand`, gated by `CanReplyToRoadblock` on `LatestRunSessionId`) that resumes the session via the same `ContinueTaskAsync` transport as `ContinueCommand` but with the user's own text instead of the fixed re-run prompt; failures raise `ErrorReported`, wired by the shell into `FlashFooterError`, the three-tab work console (`output`/`git`/`session`), child surfacing (`ChildOutcomes` rows plus `ChildrenNeedingAttention`/`HasChildrenNeedingAttention` — children that failed, were cancelled, await review, or reported roadblocks — drive an attention band on the Session tab, which is only visible when `HasChildOutcomes`), and the modes: `IsNotesMode` (hosts `NotesEditorViewModel`), `IsPrepMode`, computed `IsTaskDetailVisible = !IsNotesMode && !IsPrepMode`. Three concerns are extracted into section VMs exposed as properties: **AgentConfigEditorViewModel** (scope=Task; per-task Model/MaxTurns/AgentPath overrides with `InheritedBadge` + `InheritanceResolver`, additive SystemPrompt, debounced auto-save; exposed as `AgentSettings`), **MergeSectionViewModel** (merge-target selection, mergeability indicator via `MergePreviewPresenter` over `PreviewMergeAsync`, `OpenDiffAsync` and `ReviewCombinedDiffCommand` — both build a `DiffViewerViewModel`, call `ShowDiffViewer`, and fire the `DiffViewed` callback; `HasReviewableDiff` reports whether anything is inspectable, feeding the review gate), **PrepPanelViewModel** (daily-prep panel: `PrepLog`, `PlanDayCommand` → `RunDailyPrepNowAsync`, persisted last run via `GetLastPrepLogAsync`). Attachments: `Attachments` (`ObservableCollection<AttachmentRowViewModel>`), `IsDragOver`, `DropStatus`, `CanAcceptDrop`, `AddFilesAsync`, `RemoveAttachmentCommand`; loads on task change; `ComposedPreview` includes attachment paths. Writes directly via `new AttachmentStore()` + `new TaskAttachmentRepository(ctx)`. Helper rows (`ChildOutcomeRowViewModel`, `SubtaskRowViewModel`, `LogLineViewModel`, `AttachmentRowViewModel`) live in the same file.
-- **TaskRowViewModel** / **ListNavItemViewModel** — lightweight display VMs (task row: status, planning phase, parent/blocked links, roadblock count, computed `IsDraft`/`IsPlanned`/`IsChild`/`IsPlanningParent`/`CanRefine`; plus `IsManual` (→ MANUAL badge; suppresses `CanSendToQueue`/`CanRefine`/`CanOpenPlanningSession`) and `HasInteractiveSession` (→ accent "Interactive" chip instead of "Parked"; tapping it jumps to that Mission Control pane); list row: kind Smart/Virtual/User, count, icon/dot keys, drop hints, `IsManual`).
-- **NotesEditorViewModel** — day navigator + bullet CRUD for daily notes via `INotesApi`.
-- **UsagePillViewModel** — one shared instance backs the `UsagePill` control hosted in both the footer and the Mission Control header; loads via `GetUsageSnapshotAsync` and updates live off `IWorkerClient.UsageUpdatedEvent`; derives display text, tooltip, and dot state (normal/warn/stale/blocked, mutually exclusive priority blocked > stale > warn > normal) from the shared `UsageSnapshotDto`.
-- **Modal VMs** — `SettingsModalViewModel` (four tabs: General, Worktrees, Files prompt-paths, Prime Claude incl. `DailyPrepMaxTasks` + prime-schedule rows). 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, `VerifyCommand` (optional post-merge verify gate, own field/section — not part of `AgentConfigEditorViewModel`), delete list; hosts shared `AgentConfigEditorViewModel` as `Agent` property (scope=List) — save delegates to `Agent.SaveAsync(verifyCommand)`, since both fields land in the same `list_config` row via one `UpdateListConfig` call and would otherwise clobber each other), `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`, which first calls `IWorkerClient.CreateMergeHelperTaskAsync` to create one new ClaudeDo task per run in that list — `Idle`/`IsManual=true` (never queued), title/description localized (`missionControl.mergeHelperTaskTitle`/`mergeHelperTaskDescriptionHeader`), `TaskEntity.HandlerBaseCommit` stamped to the list repo's current HEAD — then opens a **task-based** ConPTY tile for it (deduped by `TaskId` like `OpenConPtySessionAsync`, not `CreateAdHoc`) running the five-phase handler prompt. The handler still merges the tasks it handles itself; the host task never gets a worktree of its own, so "Submit for review" stamps `HandlerHeadCommit` instead of committing a worktree, and the detail pane's `MergeSectionViewModel` falls back to `HandlerBaseCommit`/`HandlerHeadCommit` over the list's working dir for its diff — see `TaskEntity` in `ClaudeDo.Data/CLAUDE.md`), `WorkerConnectionModalViewModel` (offline help), `AboutModalViewModel`, `LogVisualizerViewModel` (worker logs, last 30 min, all levels + a warn/error-only filter; loads via `GetRecentLogsAsync`), `UsageMonitorModalViewModel` (opened from the usage pill; renders one gauge per row in `UsageSnapshotDto.Limits` — **dynamic**, since the fixed `seven_day_opus`/`seven_day_sonnet`-style buckets the raw Anthropic API can return are plan-dependent and come back `null` on plans that don't have them, so a fixed gauge layout would break; also shows model usage (`GetModelUsageAsync`, ClaudeDo-vs-Other split per model) and top-task usage (`GetTaskUsageAsync`) tables over a 7d/30d preset or custom date range).
-- **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`).
+- **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.
+  - The ROADBLOCK card's reply field (`RoadblockReplyDraft`/`SendRoadblockReplyCommand`, gated by `CanReplyToRoadblock` on `LatestRunSessionId`) resumes the session over the same `ContinueTaskAsync` transport as `ContinueCommand`, but with the user's own text.
+  - Attachments write directly via `new AttachmentStore()` + `new TaskAttachmentRepository(ctx)`; `ComposedPreview` includes attachment paths.
+- **TaskRowViewModel** / **ListNavItemViewModel** — lightweight display VMs. Task row: status, planning phase, parent/blocked links, roadblock count, computed `IsDraft`/`IsPlanned`/`IsChild`/`IsPlanningParent`/`CanRefine`, plus `IsManual` (→ MANUAL badge; suppresses `CanSendToQueue`/`CanRefine`/`CanOpenPlanningSession`) and `HasInteractiveSession` (→ accent "Interactive" chip instead of "Parked"; tapping jumps to that Mission Control pane). List row: kind Smart/Virtual/User, count, icon/dot keys, drop hints, `IsManual`.
+- **NotesEditorViewModel** — day navigator + bullet CRUD via `INotesApi`.
+- **UsagePillViewModel** — one shared instance backs the `UsagePill` in both the footer and the Mission Control header → [usage-monitoring](../../docs/explore-notes/usage-monitoring.md).
+
+## Modal VMs
+
+| VM | Notes |
+|---|---|
+| `SettingsModalViewModel` | Four tabs: General, Worktrees, Files (prompt paths), Prime Claude. General hosts the per-model preset table (`ModelPresetRowViewModel`: effort + max turns per alias) which **replaced** the single global "Max turns" field. |
+| `ListSettingsModalViewModel` | Name, working dir, commit type, "manual list" flag, `VerifyCommand`, delete. Hosts the shared `AgentConfigEditorViewModel` as `Agent` (scope=List) — ⚠️ save delegates to `Agent.SaveAsync(verifyCommand)` because both land in the same `list_config` row via one `UpdateListConfig` call and would otherwise clobber each other. |
+| `WeeklyReportModalViewModel` | Range pickers default "since last standup weekday → today", cached per range. |
+| `MergeHelperSelectionModalViewModel` | "Let Claude handle it" picker → [conpty-sessions](../../docs/explore-notes/conpty-sessions.md). |
+| `UsageMonitorModalViewModel` | Opened from the usage pill (shown **before** the data loads via `BeginLoad`); gauges are **dynamic** per `UsageSnapshotDto.Limits` row, and the 5h/7d ones carry three draggable stage markers (soft/hard/gate) via `UsageGaugeBar` + the pure `UsageThresholdDrag`, plus a colour-matched legend with a `NumericUpDown` per stage → [usage-monitoring](../../docs/explore-notes/usage-monitoring.md). |
+
+Self-explanatory: `RepoImportModalViewModel` (bulk-create lists from git repos; already-wired
+repos disabled), `MergeModalViewModel`, `WorktreesOverviewModalViewModel`,
+`UnfinishedPlanningModalViewModel`, `LogVisualizerViewModel` (last 30 min, all levels + a
+warn/error filter), `WorkerConnectionModalViewModel`, `AboutModalViewModel`.
+
+## Diff & Conflicts
+
+`UnifiedDiffParser` (static) + `DiffModels.cs` shared types + `DiffViewerViewModel` (one unified
+read-only viewer, Files and Planning modes) render through `DiffAlignment` (pure — pairs diff
+lines into side-by-side rows and computes word-diff spans) and `DiffTextView` (AvaloniaEdit +
+TextMate highlighting, unified/split layout, optional line wrap, synced scrolling). The
+split/wrap toggles persist to `ui.config.json` via `AppSettings`.
+`ConflictResolverViewModel` is an in-app Rider-style 3-pane AvaloniaEdit merge editor for both
+single-task and planning unit-merge conflicts. Full detail →
+[review-merge](../../docs/explore-notes/review-merge.md).
+
+The two surfaces are **not** variants of one control (read-only 2-way renderer over aligned rows
+vs. 3-way editor over a writable document), but they share their AvaloniaEdit host plumbing via
+`Views/Controls/DiffEditorSetup.cs`: the process-wide TextMate `Registry`, `InstallHighlighting`,

 ## Services
 
-- **WorkerClient** / **IWorkerClient** — SignalR client connecting to `http://127.0.0.1:47821/hub`, auto-reconnect with exponential backoff. The surface tracks `WorkerHub` (see `src/ClaudeDo.Worker/CLAUDE.md` for the canonical method/event list); groups: task execution (RunNow/Cancel/Continue/Reset/SetTaskStatus), review (`ApproveReviewAsync(taskId, targetBranch) -> MergeResultDto`, reject-to-queue/idle, cancel review, `PreviewMergeAsync -> MergePreviewDto`), planning sessions (start/resume/discard/finalize, queue subtasks, pending draft count, refine), embedded ConPTY launch specs (`GetInteractiveLaunchSpecAsync`/`GetAdHocLaunchSpecAsync`), planning aggregate/integration-branch diffs, unit-merge continue/abort, single-task conflict resolving (start/get-conflict-documents/write-resolution/continue/abort), worktrees (overview, set state, force remove, cleanup, reset all), agents, app settings, lists/config, weekly report, daily notes, daily prep (`RunDailyPrepNowAsync`, `ClearMyDayAsync`, `GetLastPrepLogAsync`), prime schedules, recent worker logs (`GetRecentLogsAsync`), usage monitoring (`GetUsageSnapshotAsync -> UsageSnapshotDto?`, `GetModelUsageAsync(from, to)`, `GetTaskUsageAsync(from, to)`). Events mirror `HubBroadcaster` (task/worktree/list/run updates, prep events, planning-merge events, refine events, worker log, `UsageUpdatedEvent`). Lifecycle (`StartAsync`/`StopAsync`) and a few admin methods live only on the concrete `WorkerClient`.
-- **INotesApi** / **WorkerNotesApi** — daily-note CRUD (`ListAsync(day)`, `AddAsync`, `UpdateAsync`, `DeleteAsync`); UI DTO `DailyNoteDto(Id, Date, Text, SortOrder)`.
-- **IPrimeScheduleApi** — prime-schedule CRUD (`ListAsync`, `UpsertAsync`, `DeleteAsync`).
-- **UpdateCheckService** — polls releases, exposes `LastCheckStatus`/`LatestVersion`/`CheckNowAsync` (feeds the shell's update banner).

 ## Converters
 
-`StatusColorConverter` (+ `ConnectionColorConverter` in the same file), `WorkerLogLevelToBrushConverter`, `DotBrushConverter`, `EqStatusConverter`, `IconKeyConverter`, `CheckboxBorderConverter`, `StrikeIfTrueConverter`, `BoolToItalicConverter`, `BoolToDraftOpacityConverter`, `NotNullToBoolConverter`, `UpperCaseConverter`, `DateOnlyToDateTimeConverter`.
+In `Converters/` — grep rather than list: log-level brush, dot brush,
+status equality, icon key, strike/italic/opacity toggles, null→bool,
+uppercase.
 
 ## Dialog Pattern
 
-Modals use `TaskCompletionSource` results behind the reusable `ModalShell` control — the dialog sets the result on save/cancel, and the caller awaits the TCS.
+Modals use `TaskCompletionSource` results behind the reusable `ModalShell` control — the dialog
+sets the result on save/cancel, the caller awaits the TCS.
 
-## Notes
+`ModalShell` also owns the window chrome for every modal: the titlebar drag goes through
+`Window.BeginMoveDrag` (so Windows snap works — drag to the top edge to maximise; the OS only
+snaps `CanResize="True"` windows, which is the opt-in), and it insets itself by the window's
+`OffScreenMargin` so a maximised extended-client-area window isn't clipped at the edges.
 
-- 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.
-- `FocusClearing` also clears focus from a TextBox on Escape, mirroring its click-outside behavior — but the KeyDown handler is scoped to `MainWindow` specifically (`AddClassHandler<MainWindow>`, not `<TopLevel>`). Modal windows (`AboutModalView` etc.) each bind their own `Window.KeyBindings` Escape → close; since modals are separate `Window` instances, this handler never runs there, so Escape still closes them unchanged. Mission Control's ConPTY tiles (`InteractiveTerminalView`) live in `MissionControlWindow`, also unaffected — Escape always reaches the PTY there.
-- `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).
+## Gotchas
+
+- **`PathIcon` *fills* its geometry.** Line-art/stroke icons must be authored as filled geometry or rendered with a stroked `Path` (e.g. `Icon.PlanDay` via the `Path.plan-icon` style). A pure stroke path in a `PathIcon` is **invisible**.
+- **`NumericUpDown.Value` is `decimal?` and goes null while the box is empty** — i.e. every time the user clears a value to type a new one. Bound TwoWay to a non-nullable `int`/`decimal`, that null throws `InvalidCastException`. Either bind a `decimal?` property (as `AgentConfigEditorViewModel.MaxTurns` does) or add `Converter={StaticResource KeepLastNumber}`, which drops the null via `BindingOperations.DoNothing`.
+- **Never bind bare punctuation gestures.** Window key bindings live on `MainWindow` (`Ctrl+K` search, `Ctrl+N` add-task). `OemQuestion` once held search focus and silently swallowed `#` app-wide on a German layout.
+- **`FocusClearing`'s Escape handler is scoped to `MainWindow`** (`AddClassHandler<MainWindow>`, not `<TopLevel>`) — it clears focus from a TextBox on Escape, mirroring click-outside. Modals are separate `Window` instances that bind their own Escape → close, so it never runs there. Mission Control's ConPTY tiles are in `MissionControlWindow`, also unaffected, so **Escape always reaches the PTY**.
+- **Review gate:** Approve & Merge stays disabled until the diff has been opened once, and re-locks per run → [review-merge](../../docs/explore-notes/review-merge.md).
+- Context menus exist on both list and task rows; right-click selects before opening the menu.
+- "Run Now" CanExecute re-evaluates when worker connection state changes.
+- `Ellipse.spinner` (IslandStyles) is the shared indeterminate spinner (starting ConPTY pane, refining task row).
+- `SessionTerminalView` is the reusable log terminal (StyledProperties `Entries`, `Label`, `IsRunning`, `IsDone`, `IsFailed`) — used for both the task `Log` and the prep `PrepLog`.
