Tracking issue: #1387

Summary

Fixes #1021 (part of epic #1375).

Fire-and-forget saveClineMessages() calls could execute updateTaskHistory() after abandonSubtask's atomicUpdatePair() had already cleared parentTaskId/'rootTaskId`, silently reattaching the severed parent-child link.

Changes

  • src/core/task/Task.tssaveClineMessages() now checks this.abandoned before updateTaskHistory() and returns false when the task was abandoned. This catches both the explicit abort save and any in-flight fire-and-forget saves (the two un-awaited saveClineMessages().catch(...) call sites).
  • Per-task message persistence is unaffected: saveTaskMessages() still runs before the guard; only the (stale) history-item update is skipped, which is exactly the value that would reattach the severed link.

Provenance

This is the minimal upstream-main form of the fix developed on the feature/local-usage-stats branch (commit 1d1eb915e, "fix(task): guard saveClineMessages against abandoned tasks to prevent race in abandonSubtask"). That commit also carried formatting changes for usage-stats code that is not in main (the dashboard feature ships separately in #1225), so those hunks are deliberately excluded here — the behavioral fix is the guard itself.

Test

  • Regression test in Task.spec.ts (saveClineMessages abandoned guard (#1021)): an abandoned task's saveClineMessages() persists messages (saveTaskMessages called once) but never calls updateTaskHistory.
  • pnpm --dir src exec vitest run core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts → 101/101 passing.
  • ESLint clean; no suppression count changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Prevented abandoned tasks from restoring outdated parent-child relationships when messages are saved.
    • Ensured messages continue to be saved correctly after a task is abandoned.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage verifying message persistence and preservation of task separation for abandoned tasks.

Review-gate re-trigger (2026-08-30): empty commit b67e573 (no code change) re-runs CI and CodeRabbit current-head review under the org new PR review gate; the code head remains ce34d48.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed abandoned tasks so saved messages no longer restore previously removed parent-child task links.
    • Ensured task history remains accurate after a task is abandoned.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage verifying message persistence and task-history behavior for abandoned tasks.

Fire-and-forget saveClineMessages() calls could execute updateTaskHistory() after abandonSubtask's atomicUpdatePair() had already cleared parentTaskId/rootTaskId, silently reattaching the severed parent-child link.

This is the minimal upstream-main form of the fix developed on the local-usage-stats branch (commit 1d1eb91); that commit's surrounding usage-stats changes are not part of main and are excluded. Regression test in Task.spec.ts: an abandoned task's saveClineMessages() persists messages but never calls updateTaskHistory().

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

saveClineMessages now returns false for abandoned tasks before updating task history. Tests verify that messages persist and stale parent-child links are not restored.

Changes

Abandoned task save behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guard abandoned saves and validate persistence
src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts
saveClineMessages skips updateTaskHistory() when the task is abandoned. Tests verify message persistence and update suppression.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b67e5

The change prevents abandoned tasks from restoring severed parent-child links while preserving per-task message persistence. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

✅ All modified and coverable lines are covered by tests.

📢 Thoughts on this report? Let us know!

Per CodeRabbit review: document why the provider test double uses the as unknown as MockedClineProvider double assertion (Task receives a full ClineProvider at runtime; this focused unit test only exercises a few methods) — same pattern and rationale as the existing Subtask Rate Limiting block.

Addressed the nitpick in ce34d48: the double assertion in the new test is now documented (Task receives a full ClineProvider at runtime; the focused unit test only exercises these methods — same pattern and rationale as the existing Subtask Rate Limiting block).
