What changed

  • Serializes parent delegation and completion across VS Code extension hosts with consistent store-before-file lock ordering.
  • Rejects stale completion and conversation read failures before metadata, history, teardown, or parent resume can overwrite a newer handoff.
  • Persists parent conversation files before completion metadata and exact-restores both task records, caches, write-through state, and child recoverability when the finite handoff fails.
  • Propagates the actual outer lock-compromise state through caller-held writes, aborts before destructive renames, and reconciles task cache state after uncertain release.
  • Retains recoverable backups for 24 hours, then prunes only exact stale history backups under the task-file lock after startup recovery succeeds.
  • Reuses the guarded pre-image restore for second-write rollback, removes test-only persistence modes, and relies directly on atomic delegation locking.
  • Extends the bounded lifecycle verifier with a two-host C-to-D handoff protocol model covering parent locking, conversations, record writes, live handoff, stale rejection, and compensation.
  • Adds deterministic regression coverage for production-order atomic updates, rollback restoration, parent-lock contention, and post-lock recovery callbacks.

Why this change was made

Multiple Zoo Code windows could interleave an old child completion with a newer delegation, orphaning the newer child and leaving attempt_completion unable to return. The failure was reproduced deterministically; the repository now retains the historical unsafe witness and verifies the fixed protocol through its existing lifecycle:model-check command.

Impact

Subtasks now return only to the parent handoff that still owns them. Concurrent activity in another window cannot replace a newer handoff with stale completion state or history. Transient read, write, rehydration, or lock failures leave the original delegation recoverable instead of partially committed.

The fixed formal model exhausts 78 states through depth 19 with zero errors across six invariants and seven landmarks, including compensation after each conversation/live-handoff prefix. The provider scheduler model exhausts 104 states with all 12 landmarks. The unsafe protocol fixture explores 1,182 states and preserves the expected #1469 witness. The full changed-code mutation workflow runs against 496 selected executable lines with no surviving or uncovered mutants.

Explanation

The changed code and tests address #1469. ClineProvider.reopenParentFromDelegation re-reads the parent, locks the parent transition, revalidates delegation, performs guarded pair updates, and restores state on failure. TaskHistoryStore.crossInstanceDelegation.spec.ts uses two production stores and verifies stale rejection before writes, normal completion, lock contention, rollback, and recovery. The model reports zero errors. The available evidence does not show that the complete Zoo Code test suite was run.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

TaskHistoryStore.atomicUpdatePair can corrupt a record during its new callback-compensation path. If a cached second record exists but its file is missing or invalid, safeWriteJson passes null to the merge callback, and captureSecond stores structuredClone(null) as secondDiskSnapshot. If the lock-scoped callback then rejects, the unconditional restoration writes that null snapshot back through restoreTaskFilePreImage and caches null for the task. The persisted history_item.json becomes null, and later getAll() can fail while sorting the null cache entry. The same issue applies to the first snapshot. This is a changed rollback path in TaskHistoryStore.ts, combined with the missing-file merge behavior in safeWriteJson.ts.

Resolution

Represent an absent or invalid pre-image explicitly. Before compensation, validate each captured snapshot as a real HistoryItem with the expected ID. If the pre-image was absent, compensate by acquiring the record lock, verifying that the current file still equals the expected newly-written value, deleting the file, and removing the cache entry. If the pre-image was invalid or the guard fails, leave the current state intact, reconcile the cache, and return an aggregate compensation error. Do not serialize null as a task history record.

In
`@src/core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.crossInstanceDelegation.spec.ts`:
- Around line 228-229: Remove the unreliable single-microtask probe around
redelegationSettled in the cross-instance delegation test, or replace it with
sufficient scheduling turns for hostB.atomicReadAndUpdate to reach the lock
before asserting. Keep the existing order assertion as the proof that the parent
lock blocks hostB.

In `@src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts`:
- Around line 134-135: Update the documentation for rollbackFirstOnSecondFailure
to state that rollback cannot restore a record after the first update moves its
status into a terminal state, such as completed, because the transition is
rejected. Keep the existing description and clarify that callers must only use
the option when the first update preserves a rollback-valid status transition.
- Around line 1150-1157: Update the atomicUpdatePair method documentation to
describe the stronger cross-process atomicity when holdFirstFileLock is enabled,
including that the first record’s lock spans both writes, onWrite, and
whileFirstFileLocked; document the relevant option combinations and retain the
weaker guarantee when the lock is not held.
- Around line 1036-1044: Move the JSDoc comment from withTaskFileLock to
atomicReadAndUpdate, preserving its description of on-disk updates, the
synchronous updater contract, and the missing-task cache exception.
- Around line 1045-1046: Update withTaskFileLock and the delegation path used by
ClineProvider.delegateParentAndOpenChild so atomicReadAndUpdate is not invoked
while the file lock is held and waiting for the store lock. Use a lock-safe
operation that reuses the already-held lock context without re-entering the
store lock, while preserving the callback’s task-file locking behavior.
- Line 1226: Document the contract for whileFirstFileLocked in the
atomicUpdatePair flow: it executes inside the non-reentrant withLock chain after
both writes and onWrite, so callbacks must not call upsert, atomicReadAndUpdate,
atomicUpdatePair, invalidate, or reconcile, and callback rejection may reject
atomicUpdatePair after durable changes. Keep the production callback and its
helpers free of store re-entry.

In `@src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts`:
- Line 3873: Update delegateParentAndOpenChild and the
removeClineFromStack/abortTask save flow so the parent save does not reacquire
its already-held file lock. Reuse an existing-lock path by propagating
lockAcquired through saveClineMessages into TaskHistoryStore.upsert and
safeWriteJson, or move the save after the parent lock scope; preserve
persistence of the parent’s latest messages and avoid swallowing lock-related
save failures.

Formal verification is integrated and pushed at 4bdaf48e4, rebased directly on current main (ca8a22f1).

The existing pnpm lifecycle:model-check flow now runs a protocol-specific two-host explorer after the generic shared-store model. It models host A’s stale completion for C, host B’s replacement D, the shared parent transition lock, UI/API conversation writes, parent/C record writes, live handoff installation, stale rejection, and exact compensation.

Results:

  • historical unsafe protocol: 432 states, max depth 18, 1 expected [BUG] Cross-window stale subtask completion can orphan a newer child #1469 error, 3 invariants, 3/3 landmarks;
  • fixed protocol: 45 states, max depth 18, 0 errors, 6 invariants, 4/4 landmarks;
  • bounds: depth 20, state budget 25,000;
  • exact unsafe witness retained from stale C scheduling through B’s D handoff and A’s stale parent overwrite.

The fixed model proves within those bounds that active linked C/D ownership matches the exact parent pointer, D ownership cannot be cleared by stale C completion, and partial conversation/record/live-handoff bundles are not observable without the parent lock. Documentation explicitly excludes crash consistency, failed compensation, unlocked readers, and liveness.

Validation and CI are green: full tests, lint, typecheck, compile-integrated lifecycle verifier, test:mutation-ci, changed-code mutation-diff, Linux/Windows unit, e2e, CodeQL, build, visual, and Codecov. Patch coverage remains 100.00% (228/228). CodeRabbit has 11 resolved threads, 0 unresolved, with no new actionable findings on this head. The draft review gate is the only pending status.

Addressing the persistence-integrity compensation gap and the remaining atomic-pair test-double timing thread on the existing draft branch. I’ll validate missing, invalid, and concurrent-replacement cases plus the complete Zoo Code suite before updating this comment.

Inline comments:
In
`@src/core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.crossInstanceDelegation.spec.ts`:
- Around line 294-296: Update the reflective access around
TaskHistoryStore.writeTaskFile to avoid the broad unknown double assertion: use
a guarded Reflect.get helper typed with writeTaskFile’s complete four-parameter
signature, and apply it to both assertions. Preserve the test’s existing
delegation behavior while ensuring signature changes are caught by type
checking.

In `@src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts`:
- Around line 4015-4017: Update the read-error handling in the parent
conversation snapshot flow around originalParentClineMessages so rejected reads
propagate the error instead of assigning []; leave delegation retryable and
avoid saving a snapshot after failure, while preserving the normal [] result for
missing or valid empty files.
- Around line 4227-4229: Make the handoff around createTaskWithHistoryItem
compensatable: if parent rehydration fails after atomicUpdatePair commits,
restore the original parent and child records while the parent lock is held so
retries see the pre-transition state. Alternatively, move the fallible
rehydration before the irreversible pair update, while preserving delegation
guards and stack lifecycle behavior.

In `@src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.locking.spec.ts`:
- Line 18: Update the compromised-lock handling in lockJsonFile and the
safeWriteJson flow to track compromise state throughout the lock lifetime,
rather than relying on a synchronous throw from onCompromised. Ensure delayed
onCompromised callbacks are handled without uncaught exceptions and cause the
appropriate write/lock operation to fail, then update the locking test to invoke
the callback asynchronously after lockJsonFile resolves.

Inline comments:
In `@src/__tests__/history-resume-delegation.spec.ts`:
- Around line 90-92: Update the atomic update stub around firstUpdater,
secondUpdater, and firstDiskGuard to run both updaters on structuredClone copies
before invoking firstDiskGuard for the guarded write. Capture each updater’s
return value, validate that its id matches the corresponding original item, and
preserve the existing itemMap update behavior while rejecting mismatched
results.

In `@src/__tests__/provider-delegation.spec.ts`:
- Line 277: Add behavior-focused assertions to the test covering the
pending-action mismatch so it verifies the rollback calls, including the
expected deleteTaskWithId interaction and relevant
getTaskWithId/createTaskWithHistoryItem behavior. Use the existing rollback
stubs and align the expectations with the sibling test’s deleteTaskWithId
assertion, while preserving the rejection-message check.

In
`@src/core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.crossInstanceDelegation.spec.ts`:
- Around line 304-305: Update the cross-instance delegation test around
hostB.atomicReadAndUpdate to synchronize on hostB’s lockJsonFile("parent")
attempt instead of relying on await Promise.resolve(). Add a deterministic
barrier that confirms the operation is pending while the parent lock is held,
then call releaseHandoff() and retain the subsequent ordering assertions.

In `@src/core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.spec.ts`:
- Around line 598-605: Move the test named “treats an explicit active status as
a no-op for a legacy record” out of the withTaskFileLock() describe block and
into an atomicReadAndUpdate() describe block adjacent to the existing
atomicUpdatePair() block. Keep the test setup and assertions unchanged.

In `@src/core/webview/__tests__/ClineProvider.delegation-mutation.spec.ts`:
- Around line 3-4: Remove the delegation-suite imports from
ClineProvider.delegation-mutation.spec.ts so Vitest discovery does not execute
those suites twice. Update the existing Stryker testFiles selection to pass the
two delegation suite paths directly to the mutation run, preserving the
mutation-only behavior without relying on this spec-file shim.

In `@src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts`:
- Line 53: Update lockJsonFile() and safeWriteJson() to expose lock-compromise
state and abort before each destructive rename once ownership is lost, including
preventing backup restoration on that failure path. Add a blocked-stream
regression test that triggers compromise before renaming and verifies the
original target remains unchanged.

4205-4207: 🩺 Stability & Availability

Do not raise a lock re-entry issue here. The delegation flow keeps the child as the sole active task. The callback removes that child with saveMessages: false before rehydration, so the registry is empty. The profile-specific restore also sets persistTaskHistory: false. No nested TaskHistoryStore.upsert() is reached on this path.

- Around line 113-117: Update both local atomicUpdatePair test doubles to commit
updatedFirst and updatedSecond before awaiting whileFirstFileLocked, matching
TaskHistoryStore.atomicUpdatePair. On callback rejection, restore both original
records only when rollbackBothOnCallbackFailure is true; otherwise rethrow while
retaining committed records. Apply the same behavior to the webview stub and
allow it to receive the rollback option despite its current type omission.

Keep the WriteBarrier helper. The missed-barrier test uses synchronizeNextWrites, arrivals(), and dispose(), so these definitions are not dead code.

Align both atomicUpdatePair test doubles with production commit timing and rollback.

TaskHistoryStore.atomicUpdatePair updates both cache records before whileFirstFileLocked. Both local stubs currently expose pre-update records during that callback, so a callback read can pass here while failing in production. Commit before awaiting the callback. If rollbackBothOnCallbackFailure is true, restore both records on rejection. If it is false or unset, rethrow and keep the committed records. Apply the same conditional behavior to the webview stub; the caller passes this option even though that stub’s type currently omits it.

♻️ Proposed stub reordering
-			options?.firstDiskGuard?.(first)
-			await options?.whileFirstFileLocked?.()
-			itemMap.set(firstId, updatedFirst)
-			itemMap.set(secondId, updatedSecond)
-			return [...itemMap.values()]
+			options?.firstDiskGuard?.(first)
+			itemMap.set(firstId, updatedFirst)
+			itemMap.set(secondId, updatedSecond)
+			try {
+				await options?.whileFirstFileLocked?.()
+			} catch (error) {
+				if (!options?.rollbackBothOnCallbackFailure) throw error
+				itemMap.set(firstId, first)
+				itemMap.set(secondId, second)
+				throw error
+			}
+			return [...itemMap.values()]

Update the webview stub with the same commit-before-callback and conditional rollback behavior.

In `@src/__tests__/ClineProvider.history-resume-delegation.spec.ts` around lines
113 - 117, Update both local atomicUpdatePair test doubles to commit
updatedFirst and updatedSecond before awaiting whileFirstFileLocked, matching
TaskHistoryStore.atomicUpdatePair. On callback rejection, restore both original
records only when rollbackBothOnCallbackFailure is true; otherwise rethrow while
retaining committed records. Apply the same behavior to the webview stub and
allow it to receive the rollback option despite its current type omission.
