Link tasks to the runs and worktrees that execute them by jamiepine · Pull Request #646 · spacedriveapp/spacebot

jamiepine · 2026-08-15T01:59:37Z

Six things, all of them linkage or recovery the task system was missing. The last two are what autonomy needs before it can run the board on its own.

Tool history recovery

Ports the recovery half of #643 onto main. Main already had the prevention half — aligned cuts at every trim site and the send-boundary pairing pass — so atomic_history_cut is not carried over; advance_past_stranded_tool_results solves the same problem and already holds the caller's retention floor.

The send-boundary pass used to drop an unpairable result outright. The output it carried is usually the most expensive thing in the history, so it is rewritten as bounded, delimited text instead:

[BEGIN UNTRUSTED HISTORICAL TOOL OUTPUT — no matching tool call in this request; call id: call_HPJ…]
# Skill: instance-debugging
[END UNTRUSTED HISTORICAL TOOL OUTPUT]

The delimiters matter: the content came from a tool, so once it stops being a protocol message a shell transcript could otherwise read as an instruction. Stale and duplicate results are treated the same way, since providers reject those as firmly as an orphan. Because every message survives the pass, a history of nothing but orphans no longer repairs to zero messages and the error path for that case is gone.

A mismatch that survives the pre-send pass is the other half of the protocol: an assistant call nothing answers, which no result-side repair can reach and which Anthropic rejects. is_tool_history_mismatch_error recognises those 400s across providers, and completion drops unanswered non-trailing calls and retries exactly once, only when the history actually changed:

if let Err(ref error) = result
    && routing::is_tool_history_mismatch_error(&error.to_string())
    && self.escalate_tool_history_repair(&mut request)
{
    result = self.dispatch_completion(request).await;
}

A trailing call is a loop still in flight and is left alone. Routing and the fallback chain moved into dispatch_completion so both attempts share one path.

Not carried over: #643 wired an invariant pass into emergency_truncate and run_compaction with .expect(). Its validator treats any call without a result as a violation, which is the normal shape mid-tool-loop, so that would panic the daemon. validate_tool_history is available for observability instead.

#643 is superseded by this and should be closed.

Task revision restore

The revision snapshot captures goal_id and its diff reports it, but UpdateTaskInput had no such field, so restore_revision could not carry it and the column was never written. A restore reported success, left the task on its current goal, and the revision it appended did not match the state it claimed to restore — a diff against it still showed a goal change.

Task worktree binding

Spawning with worktree_mode: create provisioned or reused a task-<number> worktree and passed its id to the worker link, but the update binding the worker to the task wrote only worker_id and status. The task never learned its worktree: on the live instance 1 of 33 tasks carried a worktree_id while five task worktrees sat on disk unreferenced.

The bind now records it, and resolution consults the task's binding before falling back to the name — the persisted binding is authoritative and the naming convention is the compatibility key for tasks that predate it, rather than the only mechanism. A startup backfill reconnects existing tasks, and the revision it writes states the binding was inferred from the name rather than observed at provision time, which is what keeps an inferred binding distinguishable from a real one.

Task worker runs

tasks.worker_id names the run executing now and is overwritten by the next spawn, so a task retried three times remembered only the last one, and reassignment cleared it rather than archiving it. worker_runs carries no task reference at all — every ALTER TABLE against it was reviewed and none reference a task; its task column holds the worker's prompt. So nothing could answer "what has already been tried on this task and how did it end", which is the question a loop has to answer before spawning.

task_worker_runs is that history: append-only, one row per attempt, with the outcome, who asked, and which channel it came from. The attempt ordinal is allocated inside the transaction so racing spawns cannot claim the same one, re-recording a worker returns its existing row so a retried bind is idempotent, and terminal state is written once so a duplicated completion cannot rewrite how a run ended.

The worker reference carries no foreign key deliberately. Tasks live in the instance database and worker_runs in the per-agent one, so the link crosses a database boundary SQLite cannot enforce. A run whose worker row was pruned still records that the attempt happened.

Spawning refuses a task that already has a live run. The existing delegation check is per-channel, so two channels could previously spawn on the same task without either noticing. That guard needs a matching backstop: workers run in-process, so an attempt still open at startup belongs to a run that died with the previous process, and without closing those a crash mid-run would take that task off the board permanently. They are recorded as interrupted rather than failed — the process exited, which says nothing about whether the work would have succeeded.

Outcomes mirror the worker's own rather than collapsing to success/failure, so partial, blocked, cancelled, timed out and interrupted stay distinguishable.

The board renders what has been tried inline, in one query for the whole board rather than one per task, naming at most three attempts so a heavily retried task cannot crowd out the rest:

- #21 [high] Supervise workers… [2 prior attempts (#2 timed_out, #1 failed); attempt #3 is running now]

GET /tasks/{number}/attempts exposes the same history, and a worker resolves back to its task.

Interface

TaskAttempts shows the runs in both task panels: attempt number, outcome, worker, start time and duration, the recorded summary, and full output fetched only when expanded. A live run refreshes off the worker SSE signal rather than polling. Without it the history was written and unreachable — a task that failed twice before succeeding looked identical to one that worked first time.

ChannelDetail recorded a channel as opened only after its pin loop ran twelve frames, but the effect's cleanup cancels the pending frame whenever rowCount changes, and rowCount changes on nearly every commit while history streams. The loop restarted before finishing, so opening stayed true, the distance check that releases the reader was skipped, and a reader who scrolled up was pulled back to the bottom on every update. The channel is now recorded on the first pin.

PortalTimeline dropped every worker_run row absent from api.workersList(limit: 20) — a page of the agent's most recent workers, not this conversation's set. Rows vanished while that query was pending and stayed hidden once the agent passed twenty workers. The filter was also unnecessary: renderTimelineItem already falls back to synthesizeWorker.

client.ts issued all 90 of its requests without the bearer token, so setting api.auth_token broke the dashboard outright — the API rejects every path except health (src/api/server.rs:399). apiFetch carries it and every call site goes through it; getAuthHeaders moves to client.ts and client-typed.ts imports it rather than keeping a second copy. Not covered, and the reason api.auth_token still is not supported end to end: EventSource and any URL handed to an <img> or a download cannot carry a header, so the SSE stream, avatars, project logos and attachments stay unauthenticated.

Testing

1293 lib tests pass; --features metrics compiles; clippy, fmt and bunx tsc --noEmit clean.

The compaction and restore tests were checked against the bug rather than just asserted: reverting the retention-floor guard fails all four alignment tests, and dropping goal_id from the restore input fails both goal tests with exactly the reported symptom.

New coverage: the send-boundary repair (orphan, stale and duplicate rewritten, both pairing directions, prompt text surviving, bounded truncation, unanswered non-trailing calls dropped while a trailing one survives, and the shape that took down the live worker); the provider 400 classifier across three phrasings plus two negatives; goal restore and clearing; worktree backfill binding by name, idempotency, and refusing to steal an existing binding; and twelve on the attempt record — every attempt kept with its outcome, the reverse lookup, a live attempt visible across channels, idempotent re-recording, write-once terminal state, restart reconciliation unblocking the task, and the bounded board rendering.

Deploy

Adds migration 20260814000002_task_worker_runs.sql, which runs on startup and is not trivially reversible.

Note

Summary: Implements tool history recovery preventing fatal API mismatches, task-to-run linkage tracking all attempts with outcomes, worktree binding persistence for restart recovery, goal state restoration in task revisions, bearer token passing for authenticated API access, and task attempt history visibility in the UI. Includes new task_worker_runs table with append-only run history, idle run cleanup at startup, and bounded attempt rendering on the board.

Ports the recovery half of PR #643 onto main. Main already had the prevention half — aligned cuts at every trim site and the send-boundary pairing pass — so the cut selection and its telemetry are not carried over; #643's atomic_history_cut and advance_past_stranded_tool_results solve the same problem and main's already holds the caller's floor. The send-boundary pass dropped an unpairable result outright. The output it carried is usually the most expensive thing in the history, so it is now rewritten as bounded, delimited plain text instead. The delimiters mark it as historical tool data so a shell transcript cannot read as an instruction once it stops being a protocol message. Results that are stale or duplicated are treated the same way, since providers reject those as firmly as an orphan. Because every message survives the pass, a history of nothing but orphans no longer repairs to zero messages, and the error path for that case is gone. A mismatch that survives the pre-send pass is the other half of the protocol: an assistant call nothing answers, which no result-side repair can reach and which Anthropic rejects. is_tool_history_mismatch_error recognises those 400s across providers, and completion drops unanswered non-trailing calls and retries exactly once, only when the history actually changed. A trailing call is a loop still in flight and is left alone. Routing and the fallback chain moved into dispatch_completion so both attempts share one path. validate_tool_history reports the first violation a provider would reject. #643 wired an equivalent into the compaction paths with expect(), which panics on a history whose calls are simply still awaiting results — the normal mid-loop shape. It is available for observability instead. Covers the failure that took down a live worker: a fork's cut removed the assistant turn holding a read_skill call while its result stayed at the head of the retained history.

Task #31. The revision snapshot captures goal_id and its diff reports it, but UpdateTaskInput had no such field, so the input restore_revision builds could not carry it and update_current_in_tx never wrote the column. A restore reported success and left the task on its current goal, which means the revision it appended did not match the state it claimed to restore — a diff against the restored revision still showed a goal change. goal_id is now a Patch on the update input, resolved and written like the other patch fields, and restore passes it from the snapshot.

Tasks #32 and #33. ChannelDetail recorded a channel as opened only after its pin loop ran twelve frames, but the effect's cleanup cancels the pending frame whenever rowCount changes, and rowCount changes on nearly every commit while history streams in. The loop restarted before it finished, so the channel was never recorded as opened, `opening` stayed true, and the distance check that releases the reader was skipped on every update — a reader who scrolled up was pulled back to the bottom. The channel is now recorded on the first pin, so the loop still spans the settling frames but can actually reach its release condition. PortalTimeline dropped every worker_run row whose id was absent from api.workersList(limit: 20), which is a page of the agent's most recent workers filtered by channel, not this conversation's full set. Worker rows vanished while that query was pending and stayed hidden for good once the agent passed twenty workers. The filter was also unnecessary: renderTimelineItem already falls back to synthesizeWorker for a worker outside the page. The timeline renders every item and the query only enriches what is there.

Task #34. The API rejects every path except health with 401 when api.auth_token is set (src/api/server.rs:399), and client.ts issued all 90 of its requests without the header, so configuring a token broke the dashboard outright. client-typed.ts already built the header for the openapi-fetch client; client.ts never used it. apiFetch carries the header and every call site in client.ts goes through it. getAuthHeaders moves to client.ts and client-typed.ts imports it rather than keeping a second copy. The health check in useServer.tsx stays a bare fetch, matching the middleware's exemption. Not covered, and the reason api.auth_token still is not supported end to end: EventSource and any URL handed to an img or a download cannot carry a header, so the SSE stream, avatars, project logos and attachments stay unauthenticated. Closing that needs a token-bearing scheme for header-less requests, which is a separate decision.

Task #36. Spawning with worktree_mode "create" provisioned or reused a task-<number> worktree and passed its id to the worker link, but the update that bound the worker to the task wrote only worker_id and status. The task never learned its worktree: on this instance 1 of 33 tasks carried a worktree_id while five task worktrees sat on disk unreferenced. The bind now records worktree_id, and resolution consults the task's binding before falling back to the task-<number> name. That makes the persisted binding authoritative and the naming convention the compatibility key for tasks that predate it, rather than the only mechanism. backfill_worktree_bindings reconnects existing tasks at startup from worktrees the caller supplies, so the task store does not reach into the project tables. The revision it writes states the binding was inferred from the name rather than observed at provision time, which is what keeps an inferred binding distinguishable from a real one. It skips tasks that already have a binding, so a rename cannot steal one and a second pass appends nothing.

Task #35, the linkage autonomy needs before it can run the board. tasks.worker_id names the run executing now and is overwritten by the next spawn, so a task retried three times remembered only the last one, and it is cleared on reassignment rather than archived. worker_runs carries no task reference at all, so nothing could answer "what has already been tried on this task and how did it end" — the question a loop has to answer before spawning. task_worker_runs is that history: append-only, one row per attempt, with the outcome, who asked for it, and which channel it came from. The attempt ordinal is allocated inside the transaction so racing spawns cannot claim the same one, re-recording a worker returns its existing row so a retried bind is idempotent, and terminal state is written once so a duplicated completion cannot rewrite how a run ended. The worker reference carries no foreign key deliberately. Tasks live in the instance database and worker_runs in the per-agent one, so the link crosses a database boundary that SQLite cannot enforce. A run whose worker row was pruned still records that the attempt happened. Spawning refuses a task that already has a live run. The existing delegation check is per-channel, so two channels could previously spawn on the same task without either noticing. The board renders what has been tried inline, in one query for the whole board rather than one per task, naming at most three attempts so a heavily retried task cannot crowd out the rest. GET /tasks/{number}/attempts exposes the same history, and a worker resolves back to its task. Outcomes mirror the worker's own rather than collapsing to success/failure, so partial and blocked stay distinguishable from failed.

Workers run in-process, so an attempt still open at startup belongs to a run that died with the previous process. Without closing it the task-scoped spawn guard would see a live run forever and that task could never be worked again — a crash mid-run would take it off the board permanently. Recorded as interrupted rather than failed. The process exited, which says nothing about whether the work was going to succeed, and autonomy should treat the two differently when deciding whether to retry.

The run history had no UI, so a task that failed twice before succeeding looked identical to one that worked first time. The only worker linkage visible anywhere was a comment that happened to carry a worker id. TaskAttempts sits above the discussion in both task panels: one row per run with its attempt number, outcome, worker, start time and duration, the summary the run recorded, and its full output fetched only when expanded. A live run shows as running and refreshes on the worker SSE signal rather than polling. Outcomes render distinctly rather than collapsing to pass/fail, so partial, blocked, cancelled, timed out and interrupted stay readable — interrupted in particular means the process died, not that the work failed, and a reader deciding whether to retry needs that difference.

Walkthrough

The change adds durable task-attempt tracking across storage, worker execution, APIs, UI, and startup recovery. It also adds tool-history repair and retry handling with telemetry, shared authenticated API requests, and timeline state fixes.

Changes

Task attempt lifecycle

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Attempt storage and task bindings `migrations/global/...`, `src/tasks/worker_runs.rs`, `src/tasks/store.rs`, `src/tasks/revisions.rs`, `src/tasks.rs`	The change adds the `task_worker_runs` schema, attempt persistence, outcome rendering, worktree binding backfill, and nullable `goal_id` restoration support.
Worker execution and recovery `src/tools/spawn_worker.rs`, `src/agent/channel_dispatch.rs`, `src/main.rs`	Worker spawning prevents duplicate live attempts, records task bindings and outcomes, and reconciles interrupted attempts during startup.
Attempt API and task views `src/api/`, `interface/src/api/`, `interface/src/components/TaskAttempts.tsx`, `interface/src/routes/*`, `src/agent/autonomy.rs`	The API exposes attempt history. Task views and autonomy rendering show attempt status, summaries, timing, and worker output.

Tool-history recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
History classification and repair `src/llm/history_repair.rs`, `src/llm/routing.rs`	Tool results are classified and preserved as bounded historical text when they cannot be paired. Tool-history mismatch detection and validation tests cover supported provider errors.
Completion retry and recovery metrics `src/llm/model.rs`, `src/telemetry/registry.rs`	Completion dispatch is centralized. A repaired history receives one retry, and recovery outcomes are recorded in Prometheus metrics.

Interface request and timeline updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Authenticated API client `interface/src/api/client.ts`, `interface/src/api/client-typed.ts`, `interface/src/routes/AgentWorkers.tsx`	The client generates bearer headers from local storage and routes API requests through `apiFetch` without replacing caller headers.
Timeline and channel state `interface/src/components/portal/PortalTimeline.tsx`, `interface/src/routes/ChannelDetail.tsx`	Portal timelines retain items whose workers are absent from the current paginated query. Channel-open state is recorded before scroll retries continue.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 06886

The PR adds persistent task-attempt history and renders it on the task board, but the current implementation can load unbounded historical data as retries accumulate, while deletion and terminal-recording failure paths can leave stale or misleading attempt history. These concrete correctness and resource risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

148-168: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Optional: avoid repeated full-string chars().count() calls.

bounded_result_text recounts the whole accumulated string on each loop iteration and once more after the loop. For a long result with many content items the cost grows with items × length. A byte-length pre-check, or a running char counter, removes the repeated scans. This path only runs during repair, so the impact is small.

130-146: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider keying answered on the resolved call position.

classify records result_key(result) in answered. A call can carry both id and call_id, and call_positions registers both. If two results answer the same call but present different identifier fields, the two keys differ and the second result is not classified Duplicate. claiming_call already resolved both to the same call_index, so that index is a stable key.

 fn classify(
     result: &ToolResult,
     index: usize,
     positions: &HashMap<String, usize>,
-    answered: &mut HashSet<String>,
+    answered: &mut HashSet<usize>,
 ) -> Option<Unpairable> {
     let Some(call_index) = claiming_call(result, positions) else {

     None
 }
Note: parallel calls in one assistant message share the same position, so this key would need the call's own identity rather than the message index. Resolve the call key through positions and store that instead if parallel batches must stay distinguishable.

591-601: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Avoid cloning the full request on every completion call.

Line 591 clones request unconditionally so the rare mismatch retry can reuse it. CompletionRequest carries the whole chat history and tool definitions, so this allocates a full copy on every LLM call, including the overwhelming majority that never retry.

dispatch_completion consumes the request only in the no-routing early return at line 425; every other path passes &request to attempt_with_retries, which already clones per attempt. Change dispatch_completion to take &CompletionRequest and clone only in that one branch.
♻️ Proposed refactor

-        &self,
-        request: CompletionRequest,

Delete task attempts explicitly when deleting a task.

Line 14 adds a task child row. TaskStore::delete explicitly deletes comments, revisions, and dependencies because SQLite cascade behavior depends on foreign-key enforcement. It does not delete task_worker_runs.

When foreign keys are disabled, deleting a task leaves orphaned attempt rows, including worker identifiers and outcome text. Add task_worker_runs to the explicit deletion list. Extend the task-deletion test to create an attempt and assert that no attempt rows remain.

In `@migrations/global/20260814000002_task_worker_runs.sql` around lines 12 - 30, Update TaskStore::delete to explicitly remove related task_worker_runs rows before deleting the task, alongside the existing comments, revisions, and dependencies cleanup. Extend the task-deletion test to create a worker-run attempt and verify no task_worker_runs rows remain afterward.

The spawn guard read the live attempt and fell through a lookup error as if the task were free, and the insert that reserves the task ran after the worker already existed. Two channels could both find the task free and both spawn, and a worker whose attempt never recorded stayed invisible to the guard and to the board. A partial unique index on the open attempt is what settles the race now: storage rejects a second live run, the spawn cancels the worker it just created rather than leaving it running unrecorded, and a lookup failure blocks the spawn instead of passing it. Task deletion also removes the run history. Attempts carry worker ids and outcome text, and the cascade on the foreign key does nothing unless `PRAGMA foreign_keys` is on, which is why the other child tables are already deleted explicitly.

The attempt was closed before `commit_worker_outcome` resolved the lifecycle race, so it wrote the raw classification. A cancel arriving while the worker is completing commits as partial, and a timeout landing on a worker already cancelling commits as cancelled; in both cases the board disagreed with the durable worker record and the completion event. Finalization moves after the commit and maps its terminal kind. A commit that produces nothing still closes the attempt with what was classified locally, so a failure there cannot leave the task blocked by a run that never ends.

The channel agent streams, and `stream` only ran the pre-send pairing pass. An assistant call nothing answers survives that pass, so Anthropic rejected the request and nothing retried it. The provider match moves into `dispatch_stream` and the escalation wraps it exactly as it wraps the non-streaming path, which is safe because the rejection lands while the stream is opening rather than mid-token. `dispatch_completion` takes the request by reference. `attempt_with_retries` already clones per attempt, so the full history and tool schemas were being copied on every call to serve a retry that almost never happens. Bounding an unpairable result no longer counts the characters of the whole accumulated string on each item and twice more at the end.

The direct request bypassed apiFetch, so with `api.auth_token` set it took a 401 and a worker without a recorded directory fell back to an OpenCode link that could not reach its session.

Preserve the committed terminal outcome when attempt finalization fails.

If commit_worker_outcome succeeds and finish_task_attempt fails, Line 1464 only logs the error. The attempt remains live even though the worker has a durable terminal record.

This blocks another task run until restart. On restart, reconcile_interrupted_attempts records Interrupted, so task history conflicts with the committed worker outcome.

Make terminal worker completion and task-attempt completion atomic, or reconcile a live attempt from its durable worker terminal record before assigning Interrupted. Add a test that forces finish_task_attempt to fail after a successful worker commit.

Preserve the committed terminal kind and summary, and add coverage for finish_task_attempt failing after a successful commit.

The worker record lives in the agent database and the attempt in the instance one, so nothing spans both writes. A run could commit its terminal outcome and still leave its attempt open — through a failed write, or a restart landing between the two — and startup would then record it as interrupted. An autonomous loop reads those outcomes to decide whether to retry, so a run that actually succeeded would be repeated. Startup now reads the live attempts first and closes each one whose worker committed an outcome with that outcome, leaving the sweep to the runs nothing decided. Recovery reads the agent database that holds the worker record, so it moves after the agents are open. `WorkerOutcomeKind` converts to `TaskAttemptOutcome` directly rather than through a helper private to worker dispatch, and the summary bound lives on `finish_task_attempt` where both callers get it.

385-400: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Bound the attempt-history query.

Line 397 loads every historical row, including each stored summary, for every task on the board. render_prior_attempts only names three attempts, but this query grows without limit as retries accumulate.

Fetch aggregate counts separately and fetch only the live attempt plus the latest terminal attempts needed for rendering. This keeps board prompt construction and database memory use bounded.

Rename tx to transaction, db to database_error, a to attempt, and n to attempt_number. These names describe the values without requiring readers to infer abbreviations.

As per coding guidelines, "Don't abbreviate variable names. Use queue not q, message not msg, channel not ch."
