Summary

  • update Oxlint and @oxlint/plugins from 1.78.0 to 1.80.0
  • validate channel-task creation at the HTTP boundary and normalize supplied titles in the store
  • replace conditional empty-object spreads and remove the no-op channel-task serializer
  • narrow notification routing to the state it actually consumes, removing as never fixtures
  • remove nearby unused destructures and unnecessary Set copies

Validation

  • pnpm typecheck
  • pnpm test — 2,166 main-suite tests passed (plus broker, Electron, launcher, and packaged-server checks)
  • changed-line Oxlint scan — 0 diagnostics
  • git diff --check

Existing lint backlog

The full repository lint remains red from drift already present on main: 1,633 anti-slop errors and 39 warnings across older subsystems. This pass reduces the total diagnostics from 1,690 to 1,672, introduces none on changed lines, and does not disable or weaken any rule. That backlog should be split into subsystem-sized follow-up PRs rather than hidden inside this channel cleanup.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Group task titles are trimmed and limited to 80 characters.
    • Invalid task titles, including non-text values, are rejected with an HTTP 400 error.
    • Group task data is returned consistently across group and task views.
    • Duplicate messages are handled safely without disrupting the active conversation.
  • Improvements

    • Notification routing and task lifecycle handling are more reliable.
    • Failed loads recover more gracefully, with improved message delivery and task switching.
    • Group operations provide clearer working and cancellation states.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

Server workflows

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow contracts and persistence
server/index.ts
Routine requests, model selection, send identifiers, and routine receipt recovery are now persisted and validated.
Permission approval review
server/index.ts
Permission requests support shadow and enforce review modes, audit records, deferred notifications, and resolved-card filtering.
Group operation control
server/index.ts
Group work tracks queued operations, exposes working state, supports cancellation, and blocks conflicting changes.
Group-task API and normalization
server/index.ts, server/store.ts, server/group-tasks.test.ts, server/index.test.ts
Group-task routes validate bodies and titles. Stored titles are trimmed and limited to 80 characters.
Bot and group messaging
server/index.ts
Messaging validates task ownership, supports send identifiers, deduplicates retries, preserves thread targets, and coordinates queued delivery.
SSE and server serialization
server/index.ts, server/store.ts
SSE connections use configurable heartbeats and reconnect cursors. Group construction and discarded-field handling were simplified.

Client state and recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Client state contracts
src/state/store.tsx
Client models now include routine data, send identifiers, approval-review settings, and explicit notification routing state.
Message receipt reconciliation
src/state/store.tsx
Hydration and task switches reconcile queued receipts, fold immediate responses, and ignore duplicate frames.
Snapshot and live-event loading
src/state/store.tsx
Chat and peripheral snapshots load independently with retries and stale-update protection.
Notification routing fixtures
src/state/store.test.ts
Fixtures use actual Bot and Group types without as never assertions.

Lint tooling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Oxlint development dependencies
package.json, apps/docs/package.json
Oxlint packages were upgraded from 1.78.0 to 1.80.0.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to b33a0

The change adds automated permission approvals and recovery/interruption behavior across server and client flows. An approval could grant high-impact access based on untrusted request text, while interruption or recovery failures can leave work running or conversation state unavailable, so the PR is not safe to merge without addressing these risks.

5514-5518: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Cancel the tracked room operation when a bot is interrupted from its own chat.

The group interrupt route calls cancelGroupTurnOperations(group.id, group.threadId) before awaiting the provider (Line 4684). This bot interrupt path interrupts busyGroup.threadId but leaves the tracked GroupTurnOperation uncancelled. startGroupTurn and runGroupMemberTurn only stop on operation.cancelled, so the queued responders and chained mentions for that room keep running after the user stopped the bot. The room also keeps reporting working through groupIsWorking.

Add the same cancellation before the interrupt.

🐛 Proposed fix
       if (busyGroup) {
         if (expectedThreadId !== undefined && busyGroup.threadId !== expectedThreadId) {
           return json(res, 409, { error: `this bot is working in channel ${busyGroup.id}` });
         }
+        cancelGroupTurnOperations(busyGroup.id, busyGroup.threadId);
         await instance?.adapter.interruptTurn(busyGroup.threadId).catch(() => {});
         closeOpenApprovals(busyGroup.threadId);
       }
