Summary

  • explicitly reactivate interrupted tasks after the user accepts the resume prompt
  • serialize delegated-child resume with the parent transition lock and reject stale children the parent no longer awaits
  • keep generic interrupted → active writes invalid so stale snapshots cannot revive cancelled tasks
  • model and test interrupted child resume followed by nested delegation

Fixes #1900

Validation

  • pnpm test
  • pnpm check-types
  • pnpm lifecycle:model-check
  • focused lifecycle, persistence, and provider tests (116 passing)
  • repository lint and formatting checks

1106-1109: Do not refresh the cache from an unvalidated object.

At Line 1108, the code writes existing to the cache before the reducer runs. The value is cast to HistoryItem even though parsed.data already holds the schema-validated value. If resumeInterruptedTaskRecord throws, safeWriteJson performs no write. The cache then holds the disk record, which is the intended refresh. That part is correct.

There is one gap. A rejected resume refreshes cache, but it does not update taskFileMtimes. The next reconcile() therefore re-reads the file, so the result stays correct, and that extra read is the only cost. No change is required for correctness. You can use parsed.data in place of the cast for type safety.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Interrupted tasks can be resumed, including delegated child tasks whose parent is still waiting for them.
    • Resumed child tasks can continue their work and delegate to another task.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Resuming is rejected if a task is no longer interrupted or its parent is no longer waiting for it, preventing stale task history from being resumed.

Walkthrough

The change adds an explicit operation to resume interrupted tasks. It checks parent-child delegation before resuming a child and applies the status change to the authoritative history record. Tests cover stale records, changed parent links, and nested delegation. The lifecycle model now includes resumed delegation.

Changes

Interrupted task resumption

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lifecycle reducer and persisted resume
src/core/task-persistence/taskLifecycle.ts, src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts, src/core/task-persistence/__tests__/*
The reducer changes an interrupted task to active only when its parent linkage matches the expected value. The store applies the reducer to the persisted record, refreshes its cache, and rejects invalid records. Tests cover cross-store records and lifecycle transitions.
Task and provider resume flow
src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts, src/__tests__/*delegation.spec.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/Task.persistence.spec.ts
Task requests confirmation before resuming an interrupted task. The provider checks that a parent remains delegated and awaits that child. Interrupted tasks clear parent and root links when saved. Tests cover accepted and rejected responses, stale linkage, and failed-history cleanup.
Lifecycle model coverage
scripts/check-task-lifecycle.ts, docs/architecture/task-lifecycle-model.md
The model adds resume transitions, increases its search depth to 13, and checks that a resumed child can delegate to a grandchild.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b8f22

The change makes interrupted child tasks resumable with parent-linkage checks and should let them create new tasks again. No concrete merge-blocking risk was found in the supplied review context.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b8f22

Resumption gains stronger acceptance and stale-state checks. However, concurrent sessions sharing saved tasks can activate an obsolete child after its parent switches to another child, allowing further delegation on the obsolete branch. This requires an accepted resume and overlapping activity, rather than an established unauthenticated attack path.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new reactivation path does not atomically bind parent authorization to child activation across hosts. After one host verifies that parent P awaits interrupted child C, another host can redelegate P elsewhere while leaving C's parentTaskId unchanged. The first host can then persist C as active and allow it to delegate descendants despite P no longer awaiting it. The process-local lock and child-file linkage check do not cover this ordering. The underlying cross-host ownership gap predates the PR, but authoritative reactivation now enables nested delegation previously rejected for interrupted records.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified exposure concerns an obsolete task branch and descendants it can subsequently delegate. It requires accepted resumption plus concurrent writers sharing task storage. Descendants use the existing task execution configuration; the reviewed evidence does not establish new credential privileges, an unauthenticated remote trigger, or tenant-wide exposure.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A decision-changing race is: host A validates P awaiting C; host B redelegates P to D; host A activates C because C remains interrupted with backlink P. C is now eligible to persist and schedule descendant delegation. This is a source-derived authority race, not a reproduced exploit. The documentation explicitly acknowledges parent-only redelegation as an unresolved cross-host ordering.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The normal resume path filters responses before activation, checks parent delegation, and validates the authoritative child record under its file lock. Missing, malformed, mismatched-identity, non-interrupted, or changed-parent records are rejected. Repetition cannot use this operation to activate an already-active child.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Cancellation sets the live task's abort flag, and the execution loop checks that flag before issuing requests. Completion also checks whether the parent still awaits the returning child. These controls limit canceled execution and stale result routing, but a later completion check cannot undo work already delegated by a stale reactivated branch.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bind resume authorization and activation to a cross-host ownership protocol honored by redelegation and other parent-transition writers, such as a shared parent lock or generation-checked transaction. Add a two-host test that redirects the parent specifically between resume's parent check and child commit; a second unlocked parent read alone would not eliminate the race.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The PR adds resume behavior that lacks focused coverage for key changed paths. ClineProvider.resumeInterruptedTask must serialize a linked-child resume with competing parent transitions, but the new provider tests cover stale-parent rejection and cross-host child detachment only; none holds a competing parent transition while resume runs. Task.resumeTaskFromHistory also adds an abort/abandon check after the resume prompt, but tests cover denied or unexpected responses and aborts before the prompt, not cancellation after an affirmative response. Finally, the provider now posts the persisted active status to the webview. The history UI uses that status to remove the interrupted badge, but the PR adds no Playwright component snapshot for the resumed history item.

Resolution

Add a provider-level concurrency test that blocks a resume while a competing same-parent delegation or abandonment is queued, then verifies the lock serializes the operations and stale resume is rejected. Add a task persistence test that resolves the resume prompt affirmatively after abort or abandonment and verifies the provider resume and task loop do not run. Add a Playwright component snapshot for a resumed history item that shows the resulting status and badge state.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

The new TaskHistoryStore.resumeInterruptedTask() persists the resumed record through safeWriteJson() (TaskHistoryStore.ts:1093-1114). That helper replaces an existing file in two steps: it renames the current history_item.json to a backup, then renames the temporary file into place (safeWriteJson.ts:104-125). If the second rename fails and the rollback rename also fails, the helper then unlinks the remaining backup (safeWriteJson.ts:153-184). Thus, a filesystem error during an accepted resume can leave the task history missing and destroy the previous record. The new resume persistence path exposes task state to this non-atomic failure; awaiting the call does not prevent it.

Resolution

Use a replacement strategy that keeps the prior history record recoverable until the new record is committed. If replacement and rollback both fail, preserve the backup and report the partial failure rather than deleting the only copy. Add a regression test for the resume path that verifies the original task record remains recoverable when both renames fail.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

An accepted interrupted-task resume can leak task resources when the authoritative history record is missing or invalid. TaskHistoryStore.resumeInterruptedTask throws a plain Error for these cases (lines 1097–1103); Task.resumeTaskFromHistory propagates it when the task is not aborted (lines 3156–3162). The rehydration scheduler sends the failure to cleanupFailedHistoryTask, but that method returns for errors other than PendingActionSettlementError or LifecycleTransitionError (ClineProvider.ts lines 621–624). The task remains registered with its event listeners and the idle telemetry interval started by Task.run() (Task.ts lines 2784–2790, 5928–5942). A missing or malformed record is a plausible trigger, and the new store tests cover both conditions.

Resolution

Ensure failures from the new interrupted-resume operation that require teardown reach cleanup. For example, use a dedicated resume-transition error for invalid or missing authoritative records and handle it in cleanupFailedHistoryTask, or explicitly clean up the failed task in the resume path. Add a provider-level test that triggers a missing or malformed disk record and verifies removal from the registry, listener cleanup, and task disposal.

Register the Task.create() resume promise.

Task.create() invokes resumeTaskFromHistory() directly but does not set _started or _runPromise. A caller can then call run() on the returned instance, which starts a second resume. Both calls retain initialStatus === "interrupted" and can call provider.resumeInterruptedTask; the second call can fail after the first changes the stored status to active. A store-status check after ask() does not prevent concurrent duplicate resumes.

Suggested fix
 static create(options: TaskOptions): [Task, Promise<void>] {
 	const instance = new Task({ ...options, startTask: false })
 	const { images, task, historyItem } = options
 	let promise
 
+	instance._started = true
 	instance.startIdleTelemetryCheck()
 
 	if (images || task) {
 		promise = instance.startTask(task, images)
 	} else if (historyItem) {
 		promise = instance.resumeTaskFromHistory()
 	} else {
 		throw new Error("Either historyItem or task/images must be provided")
 	}
 
+	instance._runPromise = promise
 	return [instance, promise]
 }

Update Task.create() to mark the instance as started and store the promise
returned by startTask() or resumeTaskFromHistory() in _runPromise before
returning, so a later run() reuses the in-flight operation instead of starting a
duplicate resume.

Could the parent ownership check and child activation share a cross-host lock or delegation generation so another host cannot re-delegate the parent between them?

Could authoritative resume failures use a handled error type so missing or malformed task records also remove and dispose the failed history task?
