Summary

  • persist the task keys last observed as running
  • mark a task unread when it transitions from running to stopped, including after an app restart
  • start the new unread storage empty so existing tasks remain read after upgrading
  • document the runtime and unread-state ownership rules in Chinese and English

Root cause

Unread results were persisted, but the previous running state was not. Restart and upgrade flows therefore could not apply the simple running-to-stopped transition consistently, and legacy unread storage could make existing tasks appear unread after an upgrade.

User impact

After upgrading, existing tasks start read. New tasks become unread only after they were running and then stop; opening a task clears its unread state. This also works when Wework exits while a task is running and is opened again later.

Validation

  • pnpm --filter wework test src/features/workbench/runtimeTaskLifecycle src/features/workbench/runtimeTaskReminders.test.ts
  • pnpm --filter wework exec prettier --check ...
  • pnpm --filter wework exec eslint ...
  • pnpm --filter wework lint:task-lifecycle
  • pnpm --filter wework typecheck
  • pre-push Wework ESLint, TypeScript, and unit test suite

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved unread task notifications after app restarts or interrupted work.
    • Unread indicators now appear only when a task transitions from running to completed or stopped.
    • Current and actively running tasks are excluded from unread results.
    • Opening a task clears its unread notification.
    • Existing tasks remain read after upgrading to the updated behavior.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified task-state authority, persistence, and unread notification rules in English and Chinese developer guides.

Persisted lifecycle key storage

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b3971

This change persists running-task state so tasks can become unread after stopping, including across restarts, but two current paths can still produce incorrect unread indicators: stopped tasks with an active Goal may remain read, and removed restored state may later mark a task unread incorrectly. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed before merging.

Add real-Tauri regression coverage for restart unread state.

These tests verify store state in Vitest only. This change alters desktop unread behavior across restart. Add a CI-invoked E2E scenario that uses real backend requests. Run isolated real-Tauri verification with scripts/ai-verify.mjs.

As per coding guidelines: “Any Wework UI, Tauri command, local-runtime, IPC, or desktop integration behavior change requires isolated real-Tauri verification in addition to unit and E2E tests.”

Persist a removed restored running key.

If no machine exists after restart, deleted is false but Line 271 still removes a restored running key. Line 272 then skips publish(), so local storage retains the key. A later restart can incorrectly mark a reappearing stopped task as unread.

Persist the changed running-key set when deleted is false.

Proposed fix
   const key = getRuntimeTaskLifecycleKey(canonicalAddress)
   const deleted = this.machines.delete(key)
-  this.previousRunningTaskKeys.delete(key)
+  const removedRunningKey = this.previousRunningTaskKeys.delete(key)
+  if (!deleted && removedRunningKey) this.persistRunningKeys()
   if (deleted) this.publish()

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not suppress unread state for a settled active Goal.

Lines 311-317 skip marked_unread when next.goalStatus === 'active'. An active Goal is not current execution state. After a restart, the executor can report running: false while the Goal remains active. This code then removes the persisted running key at Line 320 without creating the required unread state.

Remove the next.goalStatus !== 'active' condition. Add a regression test for a persisted running task that restores as stopped with goalStatus: 'active'.

       !next.derived.isRunning &&
       !next.derived.isQueued &&
-      next.goalStatus !== 'active' &&
       next.key !== this.currentTaskKey
