Fixes the repeated child creation/rollback cycle when an interrupted task retains a pending new_task and subtask auto-approval is enabled.
Allow an approved delegation to transition directly from interrupted to delegated. Arbitrary message saves still cannot reactivate interrupted tasks.
Preserve the delegating task's own parent link only if that parent still awaits it. Clear stale lineage after startup recovery or replacement by another child, without stealing a newer handoff.
On delegation metadata failure, persist a matching error tool_result before restoring the parent. Existing history-resume reconciliation then clears the pending action instead of replaying it. Do not duplicate an existing result or resolve a replacement action.
If recovery history cannot be read or written, stop restoration and surface an error instead of scheduling another attempt.
No new settings, retry counters, migrations, or changesets. This addresses the reliability regression without changing global auto-approval settings.
Test Procedure
Passed locally in a Linux orb (Node 26.8.2, pnpm 10.8.1; the repository declares Node 22.23.1):
pnpm lifecycle:model-check — all seven checks passed; delegation model covers 61 states, 5/5 actions, and 3/3 landmarks, including interrupted-task delegation.
TEST_FILE=subtasks.test.js TEST_GREP='interrupted child settles pending' xvfb-run -a pnpm --filter @roo-code/vscode-e2e test:ci:mock — 1 passing (interrupted child settles pending new_task before resume despite subtask auto-approval; also re-run on Windows against VS Code 1.100.0 after merging current main). The real extension host interrupts a child at its nested delegation approval, enables subtask auto-approval, rehydrates it, and verifies exactly one grandchild starts with the pending action cleared and parent ownership retained.
pnpm lint and pnpm check-types — 11/11 tasks successful each, via the repository Git hooks.
Formatting and git diff --check passed. ESLint suppression counts did not increase; one existing suppression was removed.
Regression coverage also checks failed recovery reads/writes, already-resolved actions, and detached/replaced parent ownership. The extension-host smoke covers close/reopen rehydration, not a full VS Code process restart.
Scope limited to the interrupted delegation/replay bug.
Self-review completed.
Regression tests added/updated at reducer, provider, history-resume, and extension-host layers.
Architecture documentation updated.
Contribution guidelines reviewed.
Visual snapshot: not applicable; no layout or styling changes.
Additional Notes
Implemented with Amp assistance. This PR does not attempt to fix the separately reported, unverified cache-loss claim or clean up previously accumulated task files.
Allow approved delegation from interrupted tasks while preserving only current parent ownership. Persist a failed tool result before rollback restores a pending delegation, and stop restoration if recovery persistence fails.
Add lifecycle model, provider rollback, history resume, and extension-host regression coverage for Zoo-Code-Org#1714.
Amp-Thread-ID: https://ampcode.com/threads/T-01a0bf0f-6f0a-724b-8d1f-69c1f1bfe3fc
Improved recovery when interrupted subtasks resume, including safe delegation and preservation of task relationships.
Prevented cancelled or failed delegation actions from being replayed automatically.
Improved recovery after interrupted handoffs and delegation failures, including cases where task history cannot be read or validated.
Documentation
Documented interrupted-task resumption, delegation, and handoff cancellation behavior.
Interrupted tasks can resume delegation while retaining valid parent lineage. Provider handoff cancellation cleans up committed children. Rollback persists error results before restoration. History reads reject invalid records. Tests cover pending-action recovery and cancellation paths.
Interrupted tasks can transition to delegated. Delegation clears stale parent and root lineage. Tests and the lifecycle model cover resumed delegation and pending-action settlement.
Provider handoff and storage rollback src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts, src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts, src/core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.spec.ts, src/__tests__/ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts, src/eslint-suppressions.json
The provider checks cancellation during handoff and cleans up committed children. Rollback persists an error tool_result before restoration. History reads rethrow malformed-record and non-missing-file errors. Tests cover these outcomes.
Pending actions stop after abort or abandonment. Durable error results clear matching actions without replay. Tests cover cancellation during approval and replay reconciliation.
Handoff models and end-to-end replay scripts/check-provider-handoff-scheduler.ts, docs/architecture/task-lifecycle-model.md, apps/vscode-e2e/src/fixtures/subtasks.ts, apps/vscode-e2e/src/suite/subtasks.test.ts
The scheduler model covers cancellation before and after commitment. Fixtures and an end-to-end test cover interrupted pending-action recovery. Documentation describes the lifecycle and handoff rules.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2136: Both changes use task-history reads and writes during task recovery and handle persistence errors.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2113: This change writes an error tool_result to API history, and that PR changes how tool_result blocks are normalized and ordered.
Merge Risk: Low · up to 52709
Interrupted-subtask delegation now recovers correctly in the normal paths. One narrow case remains. If a handoff is cancelled after the child is created but before it starts, the child can be left in a state that fails to reopen, and the user would need to abandon the subtask manually. This is a minor, recoverable issue and worth fixing, but it should not block the merge.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 7e110
Approval and task-identity checks remain enforced. However, rollback can replace newer saved tool outcomes when concurrent sessions share a task, weakening recovery guarantees. No new privilege-boundary bypass was established.
Retained concerns
Medium · reliability · inferred: The new rollback history writer can discard a concurrently persisted tool outcome. It reads conversation history, amends an existing user message, and later saves that snapshot. Although the save holds an inter-process file lock, matching messages use the incoming content wholesale. Another host's tool_result added to the same message between read and save can therefore disappear. This undermines the durable-outcome evidence used for recovery and pending-action reconciliation. The scenario requires concurrent writers sharing the same task history; it is an inferred recovery risk, not a verified authorization exploit.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The identified concurrency risk affects stored outcomes within a shared task conversation. It requires another writer to amend the same message between rollback's read and save. The in-memory delegation queue serializes participating callers within a process, while the file lock serializes writes but does not protect the earlier snapshot read.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Pending-action resumption asks for tool approval and delegates only on approval. The new post-approval abort and abandonment guard prevents cancelled work from continuing. The coordinator also checks current-parent identity and matching persisted action IDs before committing delegation.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Successful settlement of a lifecycle-rejected action clears its metadata before the new rollback error-result block, so that block does not cover this already-settled case. This ordering predates the PR. Recovery skips the cleared action and retains existing final-turn repair that synthesizes interrupted error results; the ordering alone therefore does not establish a newly introduced replay or authorization defect.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Insert and deduplicate the matching rollback error result against the current conversation inside the file-locked update, preserving all existing tool outcomes rather than replacing an amended pre-read message snapshot.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "fix: stop interrupted subtask delegation replay loops" matches the main change in the changeset. The raw summary shows the work allows interrupted tasks to delegate, clears stale parent lineage, and persists error tool_results so pending create_subtask actions are settled rather than replayed. The title is concise, uses a conventional fix: prefix, and is specific about the bug. It is short, active, and free of contractions, which aligns with the repository's Simplified Technical English guidance.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template: it has a linked issue (Closes #1714), a Description section explaining the how and the design trade-offs, a Test Procedure section with detailed commands and results, a Pre-Submission Checklist, and an Additional Notes section. The description covers the change clearly. Minor gaps: the Documentation Updates section is absent (the checklist says architecture documentation was updated, and the raw summary shows docs/architecture/task-lifecycle-model.md changed, so this is only a template-consistency point). The Get in Touch section is also omitted. The Visual Snapshots and Videos sections are optional for non-UI changes and are reasonably skipped. The description also uses some contractions-free but non-STE phrasing in places, and the title and checklist mention 'Architecture documentation updated' without a Documentation Updates section, which is a small inconsistency with the template. The PR is mostly complete, so the check passes.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes remain connected to interrupted delegation recovery. Lifecycle updates permit recovery delegation and protect parent lineage. Provider updates settle matching pending actions, handle cancellation and rollback, and stop on persistence errors. Tests, model checks, and documentation cover these paths. No unrelated change is established.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
PASS. The changed behaviors have focused coverage at the appropriate layers. taskLifecycle.spec.ts covers interrupted delegation with owned, released, replaced, and missing owners, plus invalid completed transitions. ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts covers cancellation before and after commit, child deletion and update failures, metadata rollback, existing or missing tool results, history read/write failures, and replacement actions. Task.persistence.spec.ts covers abort/disposal during approval and durable error reconciliation. TaskHistoryStore.spec.ts covers malformed, invalid, mismatched, read-error, and missing records. The extension-host test verifies the interrupted pending new_task scenario and prevents child replay. No durable UI implementation change requires a Playwright component snapshot.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
The rollback path in src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts:4287-4291 writes the unsanitized err.message into an API tool_result. A failed task-history write can produce an OS error containing the absolute storage path, including a local username or workspace path. The saved API history is later sent to the configured model provider through Task.api.createMessage, so the PR can disclose local PII or other diagnostic data externally. The base path only logged this error and did not add it to the conversation.
Resolution
Use a fixed, non-sensitive tool-result message such as Subtask creation failed before completion. Do not include err.message in API history. Keep detailed diagnostics in local logs, with path and secret redaction if needed.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
The previous persistence-integrity failure remains present in the changed cancellation path. After atomicReadAndUpdate(parentTaskId, ...) commits the parent as delegated (src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts:4135-4154), the cancellation handler removes and disposes the child (:4171-4172) before persisting active → interrupted with atomicReadAndUpdate(child.taskId, ...) (:4188-4194). If that child write fails, the handler only logs the cleanup error (:4204-4211) and rethrows. The parent then remains persisted as delegated and awaits a child that is no longer running, while the child remains persisted as active. The added test explicitly models this failure and expects the parent to remain delegated (src/__tests__/ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts:223-299), so no failure-safe rollback was added.
Resolution
Persist the child interruption before removing or disposing the child. If that write fails after the parent commit, persist a consistent fail-closed parent state, such as releasing the parent’s awaitingChildId, and surface the persistence error. Add a regression test that injects the child-history write failure after the parent commit and verifies that no persisted parent points to a removed or unrecoverable child.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
The cancellation race remains in the changed delegation path. cancelTaskInternal still awaits getTaskWithId() before setting the user-cancellation state at ClineProvider.ts:3631-3653. During that wait, delegateParentAndOpenChildUnlocked can pass its checks, evict the parent, create and commit a child, and then schedule it at ClineProvider.ts:4347-4348. The scheduling guard checks only _disposed and the child flags at 4162-4163; it does not check cancellation of the evicted parent. Cancellation then sees a changed current instance and returns at 3690-3697. This starts child work after user cancellation. The added tests set flags during handoff phases, but they do not delay getTaskWithId() in cancelTaskInternal to reproduce this race.
Resolution
Track explicit user cancellation separately from the abort caused by intentional parent eviction. Serialize cancelTaskInternal with the delegation transition. Check the cancellation state immediately before committing parent metadata and immediately before scheduling the child. If cancellation wins, dispose and remove the paused child, preserve the parent as interrupted, and do not schedule child work. Add a regression test that delays getTaskWithId() in cancelTaskInternal until delegation evicts the parent.

The comment is refuted. mergeApiMessageSnapshots does not prefer the disk record by messageId. It matches records by timestamp and returns the incoming record unchanged. The edited user message therefore retains the inserted tool_result.
The newly inserted message also remains in the incoming array at the position created by messages.splice(...). Timestamp merging only inserts disk-only records around incoming records; it does not reorder the incoming records by timestamp. The proposed merge: false change and regression test are not required for this claim.

The concern is refuted. Every non-test invalidate() call is awaited. Delegation errors propagate through resumeTaskFromHistory, whose constructor path attaches .catch(...); the tool path also calls handleError. The scheduler continuation has its own rejection handler. No void invalidate() call or unhandled rejection path exists.

The merge-loss concern is refuted. For API messages, a matching disk record does not replace the incoming record, and the inserted result remains in the incoming array’s order. The proposed merge: false change is not supported.

merge: true preserves the rollback data. saveApiMessages assigns identifiers before merging. mergeApiMessageSnapshots returns incoming content for matching messages and emits incoming messages in their original order. The edited message keeps its messageId, and the inserted message receives one before the merge. The proposed change to merge: false is not required and could discard unrelated concurrent records.

Repair the parent if the child disappears during the atomic update.
If another operation deletes the child after get(child.taskId) returns, atomicReadAndUpdate throws because its cache entry is gone. The catch at Line 4154 logs the error, but leaves the parent delegated to the deleted child. Handle a missing child at the atomic-update boundary, then release the parent only if it still awaits this child. The new test deletes the child before the get check; add a case that deletes it between the check and the update.
As per path instructions: “Trace changed inputs through normal, boundary, error, cancellation, retry, and default paths and their direct test counterparts.”

Release the parent when the committed child never started.
The child is created with startTask: false. On cancellation, removeClineFromStack() calls abortTask(true). Because this child is not a history task, the empty-message guard does not apply, so abort can persist an empty conversation before the code marks the child interrupted. Reopening it can then throw Unexpected: No existing API conversation history.
Release the parent through abandonDelegatedChild instead of interrupting this never-started child. Add a regression test that reopens the child after commit-dispose cancellation.

Closes #1714
Description
Fixes the repeated child creation/rollback cycle when an interrupted task retains a pending
new_taskand subtask auto-approval is enabled.interruptedtodelegated. Arbitrary message saves still cannot reactivate interrupted tasks.tool_resultbefore restoring the parent. Existing history-resume reconciliation then clears the pending action instead of replaying it. Do not duplicate an existing result or resolve a replacement action.No new settings, retry counters, migrations, or changesets. This addresses the reliability regression without changing global auto-approval settings.
Test Procedure
Passed locally in a Linux orb (Node 26.8.2, pnpm 10.8.1; the repository declares Node 22.23.1):
pnpm lifecycle:model-check— all seven checks passed; delegation model covers 61 states, 5/5 actions, and 3/3 landmarks, including interrupted-task delegation.pnpm test— 13/13 tasks successful; extension tests: 8,893 passed / 39 skipped; webview tests: 1,863 passed.TEST_FILE=subtasks.test.js TEST_GREP='interrupted child settles pending' xvfb-run -a pnpm --filter @roo-code/vscode-e2e test:ci:mock— 1 passing (interrupted child settles pending new_task before resume despite subtask auto-approval; also re-run on Windows against VS Code 1.100.0 after merging currentmain). The real extension host interrupts a child at its nested delegation approval, enables subtask auto-approval, rehydrates it, and verifies exactly one grandchild starts with the pending action cleared and parent ownership retained.pnpm lintandpnpm check-types— 11/11 tasks successful each, via the repository Git hooks.git diff --checkpassed. ESLint suppression counts did not increase; one existing suppression was removed.Regression coverage also checks failed recovery reads/writes, already-resolved actions, and detached/replaced parent ownership. The extension-host smoke covers close/reopen rehydration, not a full VS Code process restart.
