Node logger: Keep task logs short and from erasing the output above them by valentinpalkovic · Pull Request #36548 · storybookjs/storybook

valentinpalkovic · 2026-10-01T13:49:51Z

Closes #

What I did

In a monorepo with many Storybooks, the upgrade's task logs redraw every message into the scrollback, and a colored line close to the terminal width erases the output printed above the log.
This PR fixes both in the clack prompt provider.

A running task log shows its latest 10 lines and keeps the rest for the log printed on error. On dxos (131 Storybooks) the upgrade printed 10,440 "Checking automigrations for" lines before this change.
clack counts the terminal rows of a task log line by its length including color codes, and erases that many rows on the next update. A line whose color codes push it onto an extra row now loses its colors, so the erase stops at the log. In twenty, the list printed above the task log was erased.

const task = getCurrentTaskLog() || clack.taskLog({ limit: 10, retainLog: true, ...options });

Split out of #36476, which collected the bugs that running storybook upgrade against ten open-source Storybook 10 monorepos turned up on next.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Clack redraws a whole task log on every update, so a log taller than the terminal repeats in the scrollback: the automigration detection over dxos' 130 Storybooks rewrote each line about 125 times, and its package.json list showed twice. Show the latest ten lines by default and retain the rest, so a log shown on error is still complete. (cherry picked from commit cfd95de)

Clack counts a task log line's terminal rows by its length including color codes and erases that many rows on the next update. Colored lines close to the terminal width therefore erased lines printed before the log: with the manual steps of twenty's failing vitest-setup-file shown in the task log, the list of opt-in automigrations above it vanished. Drop the colors of a line only when they push it onto an extra row. (cherry picked from commit 1fad805)

Walkthrough

The Clack task-log provider adjusts message lines when ANSI colors change their calculated terminal row count. Newly created task logs use a default limit of 10 and retain their log. Caller options can override these defaults. LogTracker removes VT control characters from messages before storing them.

Changes

Terminal log handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Prepare and display task-log messages `code/core/src/node-logger/prompts/prompt-provider-clack.ts`, `code/core/src/node-logger/prompts/prompt-provider-clack.test.ts`	The provider removes VT control characters from lines when colored and plain-text lengths produce different row counts. Newly created task logs receive default options of `limit: 10` and `retainLog: true`, which caller options can override. The test checks that a long colored line is stripped while a shorter colored line remains unchanged.
Sanitize stored log messages `code/core/src/node-logger/logger/log-tracker.ts`, `code/core/src/node-logger/logger/log-tracker.test.ts`	`LogTracker.addLog` removes VT control characters before storing a message. The test checks that an ANSI-colored message is stored without its color codes.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a9b45

Task logs now default to a 10-line display while retaining their full log for errors. No merge-blocking runtime issue was established; a narrow mixed-control-code case may omit colors without affecting the log content.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 34d33

The change preserves existing callers, permissions and logging destinations. No introduced security vulnerability was established. Uncertainty remains about how retained task history behaves inside the logging dependency, so the assessment is low rather than minimal.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — The demonstrated change is confined to task-message presentation and requested history retention in the existing CLI logging path. The inspected flow shows no added remote recipient, identity transition or privileged operation; dependency-internal retention remains unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — The public wrapper continues forwarding options to the provider, which uses the same task renderer and logging sink. The changed operations do not add a caller or bypass an authorization check in this inspected path.

Assert the default task-log options.

The test exercises task-log creation, but it only checks the transformed message. Removing limit: 10 or retainLog: true would not fail this test.

Suggested fix

     const log = provider.taskLog({ id: 'task', title: 'Task' });
+    expect(clack.taskLog).toHaveBeenCalledWith({
+      limit: 10,
+      retainLog: true,
+      id: 'task',
+      title: 'Task',
+    });
     log.message(`${short}\n${nearlyFull}`);
