Sessions have been agent-scoped since v34, but the schema kept four
dead task-scoped columns that every session code path had to pretend
were meaningful:
- tasks.active_session_id (mirrored agents.session_id)
- tasks.session_json (superseded by task_sessions.session_params_json)
- tasks.session_display_id (superseded by task_sessions.session_display_id)
- task_sessions.task_id (always empty-string on new rows)
v41 drops all four via SQLite table rebuild — the only safe path when
multiple columns need to go in one step and indexes / FK directions
need to be preserved. `PRAGMA foreign_keys = OFF` spans the swap
window so cascade-delete does not fire mid-rebuild. The migration is
idempotent and also backfills the optional task columns
(task_type / requires_user_review / retry_count / last_failure_at /
started_at / completed_at / cancelled_at / checkout_run_id /
execution_locked_at) before rebuilding so it works whether or not
`ensureOptionalColumns` has run yet on this install.
Along with the schema change, every code path that read or wrote
those columns has been rewired to the agent-scoped equivalents:
- task-sessions-crud.ts: deleted updateTaskSession,
getTaskSession, getActiveTaskSession, updateTasksActiveSessionForAgent;
added updateSessionParams(sessionId, ...) for the worker's
finalizer. ensureAgentSession and createNewSession no longer touch
task_id.
- database-base.ts: facade drops the now-unused pass-throughs.
- snapshot.ts / task-queries.ts / tasks-status.ts / entity-crud.ts:
SELECT projections no longer pull session_json / session_display_id
/ active_session_id from tasks.
- tasks-crud.ts (TaskRow) and shared/types/records-core.ts
(TaskRecord): sessionJson / sessionDisplayId fields removed.
- TaskSessionRecord: taskId field removed.
- turn-context.ts::resolveSession: no more
updateTasksActiveSessionForAgent mirror; sessionParams read directly
from the current session via getSessionById.
- run-finished-helpers.ts::finalizeRun: stamps sessionParams via
updateSessionParams on the agent's current session, resolved through
agents.session_id.
- session-management-service.ts: rotateSession stops calling
updateTasksActiveSessionForAgent.
Test suite updated to use the new session-id API. Existing tests used
`getActiveTaskSession(taskId)` and `createNewSession({ taskId, ...})`
as probes; they now use `getSessionById(sessionId)` and the taskId-less
createNewSession input.
Tests: 603/603 green. Typecheck clean. Migration tested on fresh DB
(runs v1→v41 cleanly) and idempotent re-apply (detects absent dead
columns, skips).
Sessions are already agent-scoped post-v34, but the code kept routing
rotation / accumulation / handoff through the task indirection. Heartbeat
runs (no task) silently skipped all three, letting taskless transcripts
grow past the model's context window — the 7M-token explosion.
- DB adds getSessionById(sessionId) — direct lookup bypassing
tasks.active_session_id
- session-management-service: generateHandoff(session) is now agent-scoped,
walking recent runs across tasks + heartbeats; getHandoffForAgent(agentId)
is the canonical lookup, getHandoffContext(taskId) is a thin shim for
callers that still hold a task id
- turn-context.ts::resolveSession drops the `if (!task)` early return:
rotation evaluation runs on the agent session unconditionally
- run-finished-helpers.ts::accumulateAndRotateSession drops the `!task`
gate: tokens accumulate and rotation fires for every run, keyed on the
agent session, not the task
- Rotation evaluator contract: evaluatePreRunSessionRotation(agentId,
connectorId) → { rotated, handoff, sessionId }; old (taskId, connectorId)
signature removed
IPC contract tightening: ipc-support::emitEvent becomes a best-effort
sink. "Render frame was disposed" during renderer reload is a lifecycle
signal, not a logic error; silently drop it instead of letting it abort
downstream event emissions.
Artifact projection: pi's write/edit tool results now upsert a
`work_products` row via a new agent-runtime/artifact-projector.ts. No
more agents writing 54 files into the workspace that the UI never sees.
Migration v40 relaxes work_products.task_id to nullable so heartbeat
artifacts can register too.
File size: split agent-event-projection.ts out of runtime-bridge.ts to
keep the bridge under the 400-line cap after adding the projector hook.
Tests: 604 unit + integration green; generateHandoff callsites updated
for the single-argument signature; artifact-projector has pure-function
coverage via the projector module's own shape.
- DB introspection tests: introduce local RawDb alias for casts
that poke into the private .db handle.
- IPC handler tests: introduce IpcHandler alias matching the
registerHandle signature (event + unknown args).
- selective-ipc / session-management: narrow handler and data
params to unknown or the minimum shape the code reads.
- 10 tests covering worker crash detection, lock release, agent reset
- Session handoff markdown generation with real DB
- Context preservation (D-02): agent assignment retained after crash
- DB consistency verification: no running runs/agents, no orphaned locks
- Multiple concurrent runs all interrupted on crash
- Uses real AppDatabase with temp dirs, gemini_local connector
