Closes #503

What changed

  • give every user-created channel independent tasks with isolated transcripts, provider context, working-folder pins, and pinned messages
  • add create, switch, rename, and delete APIs with migration for existing channels and safeguards around active turns and approvals
  • keep bot-to-bot private channels single-threaded
  • add the same compact task picker on desktop and task sheet on iOS
  • route search hits, notifications, exports, connector resumes, and queued room turns to the exact channel task
  • expose the new routes through the authenticated companion allowlist

Validation

  • pnpm typecheck
  • 174 focused TypeScript/API tests
  • 188 Swift package tests
  • iOS simulator app build
  • production Vite build

The broader test floor completed 2,128 tests successfully; four unrelated timing-sensitive tests timed out under parallel load. Their affected files passed when rerun serially, and the remaining stateful comms case passed by itself.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for multiple independent tasks within shared rooms or channels.
    • Create, switch, rename, and delete room tasks from the web and iOS apps.
    • Added task selection in room headers and per-task draft conversations.
    • Search results and notifications now open the relevant room task.
    • Room task transcripts, folders, pins, and titles are preserved independently.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented task changes while a room is busy or awaiting approval.
    • Preserved the correct conversation when switching room tasks.
    • Direct messages remain single-threaded.

Changes

Channel task conversations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Task records and persistence
server/store.ts, server/group-tasks.test.ts
Groups now store independent task records. Startup migration adopts legacy channel threads, task metadata remains isolated, and deletion removes task transcripts.
Server task routing and APIs
server/index.ts, server/index.test.ts
Group turns, continuations, search, exports, and cleanup use explicit task threads. APIs support task creation, switching, renaming, and deletion with DM, busy, approval, and final-task validation.
Client contracts and state actions
ios/Sources/CompanionCore/..., src/state/store.tsx, src/lib/focus-message.ts, companion/..., ios/App/Session.swift, ios/Sources/CompanionCore/Store.swift
Clients expose group task data and endpoints, route notification and search targets, and apply switched room transcripts.
Desktop and iOS task controls
src/components/TaskPicker.tsx, src/components/GroupView.tsx, src/components/Composer.tsx, ios/App/TaskManagerView.swift, ios/App/ChatView.swift
Desktop and iOS interfaces provide task pickers, lifecycle actions, task-scoped drafts, room navigation, and task-aware controls.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 17770

Channel deletion can remove task transcripts and unresolved approvals while work is still running, potentially leaving users without the conversation state needed to control or understand that work; separate cleanup steps can also leave inconsistent retained data after a failure. This is a high-impact lifecycle and data-consistency risk that should be fixed before merge.

168-177: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Match channel-task disable state to the server's channel-wide busy gate.

ConversationTaskPicker uses one flat busy prop for all rows. Switching (line 249) and renaming (line 176, via commitRename) have no disabled state at all. Deleting is disabled only when busy && active (line 286), so it blocks only the currently active task.

For bot tasks, this matches the server: switch and rename have no busy gate, and delete is blocked only for the active thread (/api/bots/:id/tasks/:threadId DELETE checks bot.busy && (bot.threadId === threadId || ...)).

For channel tasks, the server's channelTaskBlocked(group) check blocks switch, rename, AND delete for every task in the channel — not only the active one — whenever the channel is busy or any task has a pending approval card. GroupTaskPicker passes busy={Boolean(group.busyBotId)} into the same component, so a user can click switch, rename, or delete on a non-active channel task while the channel is busy, see the control respond as if enabled, and then get a 409 error from the server.

ios/App/TaskManagerView.swift's delete gate (disabled(tasks.count <= 1 || current.busy)) already disables delete for every task, not only the active one, when busy — that is the behavior this component needs for the group case.

Add a prop that lets each wrapper declare whether busy blocks only the active task (bots) or every task (groups), and use it to disable switch, rename, and delete accordingly for the group case.

Also applies to: 244-251, 283-292

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove cached transcripts for deleted channel tasks.

When a delete response removes an inactive task, this branch retains messages and hasMore for that task's thread. Clear state for thread IDs that exist in previous.tasks but not in room.tasks. Clear the stream for each removed thread too.

Proposed fix
 let previous = rooms[index]
+if let oldTasks = previous.tasks, let newTasks = room.tasks {
+    let retainedThreads = Set(newTasks.map(\.threadId))
+    for threadId in oldTasks.map(\.threadId) where !retainedThreads.contains(threadId) {
+        messages.removeValue(forKey: threadId)
+        hasMore.removeValue(forKey: threadId)
+        clearStream(threadId)
+    }
+}
 // Ordinary room frames are metadata-only and preserve the
