Closes #1676

Description

Repeated Stop can run after Zoo Code has already saved a delegated subtask as interrupted.

The second cancellation repeats the same status change. The lifecycle guard rejects it. Recovery then clears the parent and root links.

This change treats the saved interrupted state as a successful replay. The child keeps its parent and root links.

The existing code still handles normal cancellation and persistence errors. The strict lifecycle guard remains unchanged.

Test Procedure

Run the focused cancellation suite:

pnpm --dir src exec vitest run --maxWorkers=1 core/webview/__tests__/ClineProvider.flicker-free-cancel.spec.ts

Expected result: 11 tests pass.

Run ESLint:

pnpm --dir src exec eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 \
  core/webview/ClineProvider.ts \
  core/webview/__tests__/ClineProvider.flicker-free-cancel.spec.ts

Expected result: ESLint exits with code 0.

Run the package type check:

pnpm --dir src check-types

Expected result: The command exits with code 0.

Pre-Submission Checklist

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved cancellation handling for delegated tasks that were already interrupted.
    • Prevented duplicate interruption updates during cancellation race conditions.
    • Preserved parent and root task relationships when reloading delegated task history.
    • Cleared stale cancellation state so interrupted tasks no longer remain incorrectly marked for cancellation.
    • Improved task history consistency when cancellation requests overlap with other status changes.

Walkthrough

cancelTask now rereads a delegated child under the transition lock. If the child is already interrupted, it skips the duplicate transition, preserves parent and root links, and clears stale cancellation guards. Tests cover persisted interruption and a status-change race.

Changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Idempotent cancellation and regression coverage
src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts, src/core/webview/__tests__/ClineProvider.flicker-free-cancel.spec.ts
cancelTask reloads child history inside the lock. It skips redundant interruption persistence for an already-interrupted child and clears the cancellation guard. Tests verify lineage preservation, guard removal, and the in-lock status reread during a race.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The new status and race paths have focused unit coverage, but the cache-hit path does not. cancelTaskInternal now prefers taskHistoryStore.get() before the fallback lookup (ClineProvider.ts:3642-3644), while the suite's store mock always returns undefined (ClineProvider.flicker-free-cancel.spec.ts:269). The new tests therefore exercise only the fallback lookup. The new in-lock child lookup error path is also not covered; the existing error test fails the parent lookup before the refresh (ClineProvider.flicker-free-cancel.spec.ts:845-851).

Resolution

Add focused cancellation tests that (1) seed taskHistoryStore.get(taskId) with an interrupted child and verify lineage and guard cleanup without relying on the fallback lookup, and (2) make the in-lock child refresh reject after a delegated parent lookup succeeds, then verify fail-closed link removal, guard state, and recovery persistence.

Thanks for this change!

Could you also add the following:

  1. Re-fetch child history inside the lock — matching markDelegatedChildInterrupted at line 712. This closes the inconsistency without needing to reason about the concurrent case at all.

  2. Add a second test variant for the no-stale-entry path — the current test always pre-seeds cancelledDelegationChildIds to simulate a prior failed cancel. The more common second-Stop scenario (first cancel fully succeeded, set is empty) is not covered.
