​Created by Roomote. Follow up by mentioning @roomote, in the web UI, or in Discord.

What changed

  • Keeps nested delegation from publishing an empty intermediate task state.
  • Creates each child from the delegating task's local provider context, including effective mistake limits and organization allow-list validation, while safely falling back when a saved mode profile is stale.
  • Projects the active child's task-local mode and profile to the webview without mutating shared profile identity.
  • Serializes completion, scheduler admission, ownership revalidation, and resume invocation through one process-wide parent key so another provider cannot overtake a queued continuation.
  • Releases parent-key ownership before awaiting the resumed task loop, allowing the resumed parent to delegate again without a scheduler/lock deadlock.
  • Adds a production-reducer-backed bounded checker and an exact two-provider production-adapter regression covering completion followed by real redelegation.
  • Clones default provider profiles before updates so a failed persistence attempt cannot mutate later default loads.

Why this change was made

Nested new_task calls could return Zoo Code to the main screen and lose the child execution. Deterministic regression tests reproduced the provider race, and the checker systematically explores bounded interleavings that previously allowed empty publication, duplicate child starts, start-before-commit, scheduler ownership inversion, and stale parent continuations after a newer child commit.

Impact

Nested subtasks transition directly to one child using the correct task-local or explicitly saved mode profile. Concurrent providers in one extension host cannot overtake a pending parent continuation, stale continuations are rejected after ownership refresh, and resumed parents can delegate again without deadlocking the scheduler.

The checker explores 104 distinct states with all 10 actions and 12 landmarks reachable, three distinct profile scenarios, and six deterministic legacy counterexamples. The exact mutation gate passes on 159 changed executable extension lines with no surviving or uncovered mutants; the real two-provider adapter regression, nested extension-host suite, and full repository suite also pass. The model intentionally abstracts the production lock, publication, and semaphore while production-level tests exercise those adapter boundaries; transport timing, scheduler fairness, and cross-process coordination remain outside its bounded scope.

Linked work items

Closes #921.

Adds regression ratchets for #1469 and #1021; their production fixes remain tracked separately.

No change needed. ClineProvider awaits both methods without consuming their return values. Therefore, the stub shape cannot cause the stated undefined failure.


📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Delegated tasks now retain the parent task’s mode and provider settings without changing shared settings.
    • Prevented conflicting or duplicate delegations while a child task is still active.
    • Improved parent-task resumption after delegated tasks complete, including history and status updates.
    • Improved handling of interrupted, cancelled, stale, or failed delegation transitions.
    • Task-specific provider settings and limits are applied more reliably during delegation.
    • Prevented failed provider-profile saves from altering default settings.
  • Documentation

    • Updated task lifecycle documentation formatting while preserving existing guidance.

Walkthrough

Delegation now passes task-local provider context to children, serializes concurrent transitions, and queues parent resumption after child scheduler release. Tests and model checks cover profile selection, stale state, failures, reentrancy, cross-instance races, and lifecycle invariants.

Changes

Provider handoff refinement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Explicit child execution context
src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts, src/core/task/providerHandoff.ts, src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/*, src/__tests__/ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts, src/core/webview/__tests__/ClineProvider.taskHistory.spec.ts
Delegation passes mode, API profile name, and provider configuration through handoffExecutionContext. Delegated children initialize this context synchronously.
Serialized delegation and scheduler continuation
src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts, src/__tests__/ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts, src/__tests__/helpers/provider-stub.ts
Delegation starts use shared locks and post-lock state checks. Re-delegation is rejected when the awaited child is invalid. Parent continuation is scheduled after child completion. Webview state and profile validation use task-local configuration.
Parent resumption and lifecycle validation
src/__tests__/ClineProvider.history-resume-delegation.spec.ts, src/__tests__/nested-delegation-resume.spec.ts, src/eslint-suppressions.json, docs/architecture/task-lifecycle-model.md
Tests validate atomic updates, scheduler ordering, stale-state guards, persistence failures, webview updates, reentrant transitions, and nested resumption. Documentation records the provider handoff and scheduler model.
Lifecycle model checking and configuration isolation
scripts/check-provider-handoff-scheduler.ts, package.json, src/core/config/ProviderSettingsManager.ts, src/core/config/__tests__/ProviderSettingsManager.spec.ts
The lifecycle model check explores provider handoff and scheduler states, verifies fixed-policy invariants, reports legacy-policy counterexamples, and verifies isolated default profiles.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 04f64

Delegated tasks now preserve task-local provider context and validate effective child profiles, but malformed persisted preserve markers with empty profile names may still be accepted. This should be corrected before merge to avoid invalid durable delegation configuration.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The new defensive fallback in ClineProvider.getStateToPostToWebview() lacks focused coverage. The PR adds a try/catch around currentTask?.taskMode (head src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts:2717-2722) so a just-created task that throws before mode initialization falls back to the persisted/global mode. The added projection test at src/core/webview/__tests__/ClineProvider.taskHistory.spec.ts:654-685 covers only a normally initialized task and does not exercise the throwing getter or assert the fallback. The changed error branch therefore has a plausible regression scenario without a focused test.

Resolution

Add a focused test in src/core/webview/__tests__/ClineProvider.taskHistory.spec.ts with an active task whose taskMode getter throws, while the persisted/global mode has a known value. Assert that getStateToPostToWebview() resolves and posts that fallback mode. Retain assertions that the task-local API configuration and profile projection remain correct.

The production-adapter regression requested by the latest review verdict is added in 04f6422a8.

The test invokes real reopenParentFromDelegation on provider A and real delegateParentAndOpenChild on provider B against one shared stateful history store. It proves provider B cannot remove the parent, commit, or create C2 before A's reserved continuation invokes resume; then verifies real C2 persistence and start remain functional while A's resumed run is still blocked, with commit-before-run ordering and all deferred work settled.

Validation passes: focused adapter/provider tests 38/38 and 54/54; provider model 104 states, 10/10 actions, 12/12 landmarks, 6/6 legacy witnesses; exact mutation gate on 159 changed executable lines with zero blockers; nested extension-host E2E 12/12; full extension suite 8,233 passed and 39 skipped; typecheck, lint, and format green. All 22 accessible CodeRabbit threads remain resolved; no new inline thread required resolution. Remote checks restarted on the pushed head. See task

55-112: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Return a fresh default profile from load()

When storage is empty, load() returns this.defaultProviderProfiles directly. A reachable saveConfig() call mutates that object before store() completes. If context.secrets.store() fails, later load() calls still expose the unsaved profile. Return a fresh deep default object at this branch so nested mutations cannot survive a failed write.

nested apiConfigs, modeApiConfigs, and migrations state cannot be mutated by
saveConfig() or persist after a failed store.

In `@scripts/check-provider-handoff-scheduler.ts`:
- Around line 89-108: Update PROFILE_SCENARIOS and its execution loop so each
reported scenario represents a distinct input combination: either implement the
stale case through the saved-profile resolution path with a failing lookup, or
remove the unused lookup field and duplicate stale scenario. Ensure the scenario
count matches the cases actually exercised and retain behavior-focused
assertions for selectHandoffExecutionContext.
- Line 334: Add a LEGACY_POLICIES entry that permits parent redelegation before
child permit release, then extend the scheduler validation assertions to run
that policy and expect the “parent redelegated before child permit release”
violation. Keep the existing priorPermitReleased derivation and other policy
checks unchanged, using the existing action and invariant validation flow around
the scheduler policy definitions.

In `@src/__tests__/ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts`:
- Around line 370-373: Update the stale-profile assertions in the test around
savedProfile and log so they verify a single log call contains both “stale-id”
and “parent parent-1” in the same message, using an exact or behavior-focused
assertion rather than separate matchers that may target different calls.
