📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughTask-history persistence now uses per-task JSON files as its source of truth. Locked merge writes preserve concurrent fields. Initialization and reconciliation scan task files directly. Webview imports no longer flush a shared index. ChangesTask-history persistence
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR improves cross-host task-history writes by removing the shared index and merging per-task updates, but the current head can still preserve stale records after rejected pair updates, treat malformed or mismatched files as live, and risk cross-task data corruption from mismatched IDs. The PR is not safe to merge until these validation and cache-refresh paths are fixed or explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Thank you @edelauna for this PR. In my honest opinion, this is taking the wrong route! Firstly, It pretends to "close" the original issue, while it only addresses the surface of the general design flaw laid out in the original issue. But maybe more importantly, it just shifts the problem of concurrency away from the global If I have understood the solution correctly, it does:
While in theory, the tasks' history_item.json is written atomically, there is a fraction window, where the file does NOT exist during write (1. rename existing->backckup, 2. rename new->existing, 3. delete backup). In such a case the whole process may fail or the task at hand being ignored (I have not totally traced through the exception handling). While this is recoverable, as the process which is just updating that history file will also eventually update the global index and the item will be re-inserted, it still is a potential point for future failures. But also, I'm not sure if a directory scan of ALL files/dirs in tasks directory, the reading and parsing of ALL history_item.jsons it the right approach. Possible alternative: if we do a re-read of ALL tasks during every update (with 5 second window of gathering local changes), would it not be much more efficient to simply drop the global index altogether and scan the directories the few times we really need to read it (namely when displaying history index in ui)? That is not happening as often as every 5 seconds with working tasks. These are my two cents. But I do hope we find a better solution than the one suggested here. Nonetheless, thanks again for taking the time to resolve this issue! |
Thanks for the feedback @martin-rueegg - saying this closes #1231 was maybe an over reach - I'll think on the feedback provided as better solution to the issue. |

Thank you, @edelauna, for having considered my feedback. I think the current solution is much cleaner and safer. Awesome work! It is still worth considering in a next phase, to maybe have a per-workspace index, only including the task-ids. this could allow the "workspace" filter field to be populated easily and speed up the index scan, if only a specific workspace is of interest. But that is an addition, rather than a fix. So maybe we could create a follow-up PR once the fix is reviewed and merged. Thank you for the effort. 🙏 - Having regular issues with my index, I'm looking forward to get this patch ASAP. |

The shared-index removal is a strong simplification, but the per-task merge still validates lifecycle transitions against stale host-local state. The inline blocker below reproduces a completed task being moved back to delegated; please fix that before merging. I also left one documentation nit.

What prevents a stale host that cached active from applying a delegated status delta after another host has already written terminal completed? Please validate status transitions against the record read under the file lock, and cache/publish the actual merged record so a preserved peer status is not left stale in memory.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Addressed — three layers of protection now:
mergeWithDiskvalidates the transition against the disk record under the advisory lock. If the disk status rejects the transition, it throwsDeltaRejectedError(the entire delta is dropped, not just the status field).upsertCorere-reads disk when the cache-side check fails, so a stale cache cannot block a valid completion.writeTaskFilereturns the actual merged record and callers cache that value, so the in-memory cache always reflects what was persisted.
A cross-instance regression test verifies that a stale host attempting completed → delegated gets DeltaRejectedError and the disk/cache both retain completed.

Refresh the second cache entry after a rejected merge.
If the second write throws DeltaRejectedError, its disk record is a peer-updated authoritative value. This catch updates only firstId, so this.cache.get(secondId) remains stale until reconciliation runs. upsertCore() already refreshes the cache for this error path.
Read and cache secondId when the error is DeltaRejectedError. Add a cross-instance pair-update regression where the second task has a peer-written terminal status.

Closes #1231
Description
Multiple extension hosts sharing the same task-history storage directory could corrupt task data. Each host rebuilt and overwrote the shared
tasks/_index.jsonfrom its own partial cache, silently dropping entries written by other hosts. Per-taskhistory_item.jsonfiles were also vulnerable: a host with a stale cache could overwrite fields that another host had updated on disk.This change:
Removes
_index.jsonentirely. The shared index file was derived state and the sole source of cross-process clobbering.initialize()now scans task directories directly viareconcile({ forceRefresh: true }). For the task counts in this system (tens to hundreds), the directory scan is sub-millisecond.Adds atomic per-task read-modify-write.
safeWriteJsongains amergeoption: a callback that reads the current file under the already-held advisory lock and lets the caller merge before writing.writeTaskFileuses this to compute a diff-delta (only fields the caller actually changed) and apply it to the disk version, so fields updated by another host are preserved rather than reverted from a stale cache.Fixes cross-host delete detection.
reconcile()now checks forhistory_item.jsonexistence (not just directory presence) when deciding whether a task is live. Adelete()that removes only the file is correctly detected by peer hosts on their next reconciliation.Same-field conflicts remain last-writer-wins by design.
