📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved recovery of interrupted or missing tasks in nested delegation chains while preserving parent waiting states.
    • Re-delegation now checks for active task owners across providers.
    • Prevented recovery when delegated children or descendants have live owners.
    • Added safeguards for cancellation, disposal, and task-state changes during delegation.
    • Cancelled or abandoned task registration now cleans up without stale task entries.
    • Improved task history refresh validation and invalid-ID handling.
    • Added safer startup repair for recoverable delegated tasks.
  • Documentation

    • Updated task lifecycle guidance with dead-chain recovery rules.

The change adds runtime ownership tracking and recovery for dead delegated-task chains. Startup reconciliation and runtime re-delegation repair eligible chains. Task registration and delegation now handle cancellation and disposal with cleanup or parent-state restoration.

Changes: Nested delegation recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lifecycle recovery contract
src/core/task-persistence/taskLifecycle.ts, src/core/task-persistence/index.ts, scripts/check-task-lifecycle.ts, src/core/task-persistence/__tests__/taskLifecycle.spec.ts, docs/architecture/task-lifecycle-model.md
Lifecycle helpers detect dead chains and clear recovered delegation links. The model tracks runtime ownership, owner loss, and recovery transitions. Tests and documentation define the related invariants.
Startup dead-chain reconciliation
src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts, src/core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.reconciliation.spec.ts, src/core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.spec.ts
Reconciliation serializes ownership checks, skips live tasks, and repairs eligible nested chains. Repair intents support interrupted parent targets. Strict refresh updates valid records and rejects invalid records.
Runtime re-delegation and registration
src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts, src/__tests__/ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts, src/core/webview/__tests__/ClineProvider.spec.ts
Runtime logic refreshes delegation history and checks ownership across providers before recovery. Registration and delegation check cancellation and disposal. Failure handling removes registered tasks or restores committed parent state.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 50cc2

Nested delegation recovery and its rollbacks look correct now. Two small gaps remain. If child task creation fails mid-delegation, the user can be left with no active task and must reopen the parent from history. A recovered child can also show a stale "delegated" status in the history view until the next refresh. Neither gap blocks merging, but both are quick fixes.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6c3b3

Recovery adds useful safeguards, but a failed handoff can overwrite a newer pending request while restoring an older one. This affects rollback ownership and task continuity. The inspected execution paths still require approval; no permission bypass was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: Post-commit rollback can overwrite a newer pending request. After delegation commits, another producer can stage request B while the parent still awaits the same child. If the original delegation then fails, compensation checks only parent status and awaited-child identity before restoring the previously saved action A, or undefined. Pending-action staging is outside the per-parent transition lock, and status validation does not reject this replacement. This can discard newer work and restore stale replayable state, weakening rollback ownership. Subsequent execution still requires approval.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The supported rollback concern affects persisted pending requests for the parent undergoing a failed handoff. Multiple producers targeting that task can interfere with request identity; the inspected code does not establish cross-tenant access or additional credential authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — Initial subtask execution asks for approval after staging its pending action, and pending-action replay asks for approval again before delegation. These controls bound the stale-restoration concern: the supported consequence is request-state corruption, not an established approval bypass.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Delegation binds a supplied parent ID to the current runtime task and checks pending-action identity before recovery. Runtime recovery refreshes descendant history and rechecks liveness under the ownership reservation before changing the child.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Delegation-link ownership and pending-request ownership are distinct invariants. The new compensation preserves a newer handoff by checking the awaited child, but that guard does not preserve a replacement pending action when the handoff pointer remains unchanged.

Explanation

The description links issue #1624, summarizes the implementation and purpose, and provides concrete verification results. It does not reproduce the full template sections or checklist, but the required issue, change summary, and testing information are present.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#1624] requires recovery of dead nested delegated chains during reconciliation and re-delegation. The changed lifecycle helpers add delegated-to-interrupted recovery, dead-chain detection, and chain severing. Reconciliation and ClineProvider refresh descendant records, check provider-wide ownership, and preserve live-owned chains. The guard reports the awaited status. Model and focused tests cover interrupted, completed, missing, live-owned, persistence-failure, and re-delegation cases. The reported lifecycle model check and typecheck passed.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The ownership reservation, strict record refresh, task-ID validation, registration rollback, lifecycle model updates, tests, and documentation support safe detection and recovery of the dead delegation chain required by [#1624]. The available whole-PR summary shows no demonstrated unrelated feature or behavior change.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

No changed path shows a resource leak or duplicate work. addClineToStack now serializes registration, checks cancellation, removes registry/listener state, and drains Task.dispose() before failure. Delegation rollback deletes the child and restores or releases the parent; it does not recreate tasks after provider disposal. TaskHistoryStore adds no new watcher or timer path, and its existing startup resources still check disposed. Added tests verify queued and in-progress cancellation cleanup, exactly-once task disposal, and that preparation and scheduling do not run after cancellation.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

The prior security failure remains. In changed code, TaskHistoryStore.readTaskFileUnderLock() rethrows every non-ENOENT error from fs.readFile(absoluteFilePath) at src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts:821-831. The new ClineProvider.refreshDelegationChain() path calls refreshStrict() at src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts:3947-3955. A read or permission failure can include the absolute task-history path, including a user name. NewTaskTool passes that error to handleError, which exposes error.message in the assistant message and tool result at src/core/assistant-message/presentAssistantMessage.ts:730-743. The added tests cover EISDIR only as a propagated error and sanitize invalid-record errors, but do not assert sanitization of filesystem errors.

Resolution

Sanitize all non-ENOENT filesystem and lock errors before refreshStrict() rejects. Return an error containing only the validated task ID and a generic read-failure reason. Keep the original error only in a local diagnostic log that is not sent to assistant or tool output. Add a regression test for a permission/read failure with a path containing PII and assert that both the refreshStrict() error and the propagated NewTaskTool result exclude that path.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

The singleton repair journal can lose a retained repair intent. During initialization, replayDelegationRepairIntent() now returns without removing the intent when its parent or child is live (TaskHistoryStore.ts:579-587). Initialization then runs reconciliation (:149-159). If reconciliation finds a different orphaned active delegation, repairActiveDelegation() overwrites the same journal file (:640-667, :769-770) and later removes it (:692, :773-779). The original live task then loses its durable repair intent. When its owner disappears, recovery has no intent to replay and the persisted state can remain unrepaired.

Resolution

Use a durable journal that supports multiple repair intents, or defer all new repairs while a retained intent exists. Do not overwrite a retained intent. Add a test with one owned repair intent plus a separate orphaned active delegation, then verify both repairs remain recoverable after the owner is released and the store restarts.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The new runtime dead-chain recovery path lacks focused coverage for persistence failure. ClineProvider.recoverDeadAwaitedChild calls taskHistoryStore.atomicReadAndUpdate at src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts:3973-3984; if that write rejects, delegation must fail closed without creating or scheduling the replacement child. The added delegation tests cover successful recovery, live-owner races, unreadable descendants, missing live descendants, and cancellation, but src/__tests__/ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts has no test that rejects this recovery write and verifies the parent/child side effects. Existing atomic-write tests exercise the later parent-commit path, not this new recovery path.

Resolution

Add a focused ClineProvider delegation test with a dead nested chain and a rejecting atomicReadAndUpdate during recoverDeadAwaitedChild. Assert that the rejection propagates, no replacement child is created or scheduled, and the persisted delegation records remain unchanged. Also add boundary tests if cancellation can occur after recovery during the flush, parent cleanup, or pre-commit checks added in ClineProvider.ts:4146-4215.

Resolve the TaskHistoryStore constructor conflict with the globalState
write-through removal (Zoo-Code-Org#1664): drop onWrite, keep isTaskOwned.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Treat a missing descendant record as dead only when its task ID has no
  live owner in any provider (isDeadDelegationChain).
- Refresh the delegation chain with TaskHistoryStore.refreshStrict during
  runtime recovery: only a missing file drops the cached record; an
  unreadable, malformed, or mismatched record throws and aborts recovery.
- When disposal cancels delegation after the parent commit, release the
  parent from the deleted child through recoverDelegationParent and
  restore its pending action, without recreating a task on the disposed
  provider.

Review comments at @src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts:
- Around line 508-517: Update the startup repair condition around
isDeadDelegationChain so recoverDeadDelegatedChild does not interrupt a parent
when the delegation chain ends in an interrupted task; retain recovery for
missing, completed, or delegated-without-awaited-child endings. Let
recoverDeadAwaitedChild handle the interrupted case when the grandparent
re-delegates, and update the interrupted-grandchild restart test to verify the
parent still awaits the child and reopens when the child completes.

Review comments at @src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts:
- Around line 3806-3813: Update isTaskRunningInAnyProvider to keep its local
taskRegistry.hasRunning check and delegate the active-provider scan to
ClineProvider.isTaskRunningInAnyActiveProvider, removing the duplicated
activeInstances scan.
- Around line 3911-3929: In delegateParentAndOpenChild, validate the
pendingActionId match, provider disposal, parent cancellation or abandonment,
and current-task identity before calling recoverDeadAwaitedChild, so failed
preconditions do not persist recovery. Keep the existing checks after the await
to catch conditions that change during recovery.

…age paths

refreshStrict() now reads history_item.json under the same advisory lock
safeWriteJson holds, so a peer process's rename window can no longer look
like a deleted record and sever a live delegation chain. A missing task
directory is still treated as a missing record without lock retries.

Rejected records now name only the validated task ID instead of the
absolute storage path, which could reach tool results.

Adds coverage for trailing-dot/space task IDs, the rename window, a
missing task directory, and the path-free error message.

Rollback after a re-delegation commit drops the parent's link to the earlier interrupted child.

Lines 4052-4067 allow re-delegation when the parent P is delegated and awaits an interrupted child C1. The commit at Line 4209 replaces that link with awaitingChildId = C2. Suppose disposal then cancels delegation at Line 4227. The rollback calls recoverDelegationParent(current, ancestor). That call makes P either active or interrupted and clears awaitingChildId. P then no longer awaits C1.

The pre-commit state was "P delegated to interrupted C1". The rollback does not restore that state. If the user later resumes and completes C1, reopenParentFromDelegation rejects the completion, because historyItem.awaitingChildId !== childTaskId (Lines 4372-4381). The rollback should undo only this delegation and keep the earlier link.

Fix: keep a copy of the pre-commit parent record. If that record was delegated to an earlier child, restore its awaitingChildId and delegatedToId and leave the status delegated. Use recoverDelegationParent only when the parent was not delegated before the commit.

Proposed fix
 		let parentCommitted = false
 		let pendingActionBeforeCommit: HistoryItem["pendingAction"]
+		let parentBeforeCommit: HistoryItem | undefined
@@
 				const delegated = delegateTaskToChild(historyItem, child.taskId, awaitedChildStatus)
 				pendingActionBeforeCommit = historyItem.pendingAction
+				parentBeforeCommit = historyItem
@@
 					await this.taskHistoryStore.atomicReadAndUpdate(parentTaskId, (current) => {
 						if (current.status !== "delegated" || current.awaitingChildId !== child.taskId) {
 							return current // A newer transition already owns the parent.
 						}
+						if (parentBeforeCommit?.status === "delegated" && parentBeforeCommit.awaitingChildId) {

The documentation at docs/architecture/task-lifecycle-model.md Line 64 describes this rollback. If you apply the fix, update that line to cover the re-delegation case.

Update the rollback in atomicReadAndUpdate to preserve the parent’s pre-commit
state: when it was already delegated to an earlier child, restore its
awaitingChildId and delegatedToId and keep it delegated; use
recoverDelegationParent only when the parent was not delegated before this
commit.

🟡 Minor · Restore the parent when child creation fails after parent removal. · ClineProvider.ts:4187-4192

src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts:4187-4192
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore the parent when child creation fails after parent removal.

Line 4160 removes and aborts the parent before createTask runs. This PR adds new failure paths to addClineToStack: it can now throw when the child is cancelled or abandoned during performPreparationTasks or getState. createTask can also throw OrganizationAllowListViolationError for the handoff configuration. The createTask call is outside the try block at Line 4212. If the call throws, the rollback at Lines 4333-4344 does not run. The provider then has no current task, and the user must reopen the parent from history.

If the provider is not disposed, catch the createTask failure and recreate the parent with createTaskWithHistoryItem. Use the same settlementFailed and _disposed guards that the commit rollback uses. Add one test: cancel the child during performPreparationTasks, then confirm that the parent is current again.

Proposed fix
-		const child = await this.createTask(message, undefined, parent as any, {
-			initialTodos,
-			initialStatus: "active",
-			startTask: false,
-			handoffExecutionContext,
-		})
+		let child: Task
+		try {
+			child = await this.createTask(message, undefined, parent as any, {
+				initialTodos,
+				initialStatus: "active",
+				startTask: false,
+				handoffExecutionContext,
+			})
+		} catch (createError) {
+			if (!this._disposed) {
+				try {
+					const { historyItem: parentHistory } = await this.getTaskWithId(parentTaskId)
+					await this.createTaskWithHistoryItem(parentHistory)
+				} catch (restoreError) {
+					this.log(
+						`[delegateParentAndOpenChild] Failed to restore parent ${parentTaskId} after child creation failed: ${
+							(restoreError as Error)?.message ?? String(restoreError)
+						}`,
+					)
+				}
+			}
+			throw createError
+		}

Review comment at @src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts around lines 4187 - 4192:
Wrap the createTask call in the parent-delegation flow with error handling so
failures during child preparation, state loading, cancellation, abandonment, or
handoff authorization restore the removed parent before propagating the original
error. When settlement has not failed and the provider is not disposed, reload
the parent history via getTaskWithId and recreate it with
createTaskWithHistoryItem; log restoration failures without masking the original
createTask error. Add coverage for child cancellation during
performPreparationTasks and verify the parent becomes current again.
