Summary

  • Implemented "Require human review before coding" feature with clean stopped-status approach
  • Task stops after planning when review required, shows accordion explaining review needed
  • User clicks Restart to continue to coding phase (automatically skips planning)

Problem

  • Planning completed but task sat idle (no transition to coding)
  • Review checkpoint crashed in UI mode (no TTY for interactive menu)
  • Original detection logic (!hasSubtasks) failed because Python creates subtasks during planning

Technical Changes

  • Backend: spec_runner.py sets planStatus="awaiting_review" + status="stopped" when --no-build flag present
  • Frontend: agent-manager.ts passes --no-build AND --auto-approve when requireReviewBeforeCoding=true
  • UI: TaskLogs.tsx shows review accordion, TaskCard.tsx shows "Review Required" badge

Test plan

  • Create task with "Require human review before coding" enabled
  • Verify task stops after planning with "Stopped" status and "Review Required" badge
  • Verify yellow accordion appears in Logs tab explaining review needed
  • Click Restart and verify task continues to coding phase
  • Verify task without review option auto-continues from planning to coding

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a plan-review gating flow: spec runner can stop after planning and mark plans as stopped / awaiting_review; frontend detects stopped plans, shows review UI or auto-continues based on metadata; introduces stopped task status across UI/state/types; adds shell openPath IPC/preload API and atomic file utilities.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Backend Plan & Runner
apps/backend/implementation_plan/plan.py, apps/backend/runners/spec_runner.py
Preserve review states when updating from subtasks (includes stopped/awaiting_review); spec_runner gains --no-build handling to write implementation_plan.json with status: "stopped" & planStatus: "awaiting_review", with JSON/I/O error handling and atomic write usage.
Backend Logging Persistence
apps/backend/task_logger/storage.py
Persist phase status updates immediately by calling self.save() in update_phase_status.
Frontend agent exit & orchestration
apps/frontend/src/main/agent/agent-manager.ts, apps/frontend/src/main/ipc-handlers/agent-events-handlers.ts
Inverted review-gate logic to halt when requireReviewBeforeCoding is true; spawn processType 'spec-creation'; exit handler reads metadata/plan, uses atomic writes, mirrors to worktree when present, sets stopped/awaiting_review or transitions plan to in_progress and starts coding.
Task execution & resume
apps/frontend/src/main/ipc-handlers/task/execution-handlers.ts
Use centralized atomicWriteFileSync / safeReadFileSync; clear stoppedForPlanReview in task metadata when resuming after review (atomic write, non-blocking on error).
File utilities
apps/frontend/src/main/utils/file-utils.ts
New exports: atomicWriteFileSync and safeReadFileSync for atomic writes and safe reads.
Shell IPC / Preload API / Types
apps/frontend/src/main/ipc-handlers/settings-handlers.ts, apps/frontend/src/preload/api/modules/shell-api.ts, apps/frontend/src/shared/constants/ipc.ts, apps/frontend/src/shared/types/ipc.ts
Added SHELL_OPEN_PATH IPC channel, handler, preload API openPath(filePath), and corresponding IPC type; validates path and returns structured IPCResult<string>.
UI: Kanban, TaskCard, TaskDetail, TaskLogs
apps/frontend/src/renderer/components/KanbanBoard.tsx, apps/frontend/src/renderer/components/TaskCard.tsx, apps/frontend/src/renderer/components/task-detail/TaskActions.tsx, apps/frontend/src/renderer/components/task-detail/TaskDetailModal.tsx, apps/frontend/src/renderer/components/task-detail/TaskLogs.tsx
Introduced stopped visual mapping (maps to backlog), plan-review badge and Restart action for stopped tasks, conditional plan-review accordion in TaskLogs, i18n integration for new actions/labels.
State, Types & Ordering
apps/frontend/src/renderer/__tests__/task-order.test.ts, apps/frontend/src/renderer/stores/task-store.ts, apps/frontend/src/shared/types/task.ts, apps/frontend/src/shared/constants/task.ts
Added stopped to TaskStatus, added stoppedForPlanReview?: boolean to metadata, added stopped column to task order state and tests; updated labels/colors constants.
Localization
apps/frontend/src/shared/i18n/locales/en/tasks.json, apps/frontend/src/shared/i18n/locales/fr/tasks.json, apps/frontend/src/shared/i18n/locales/en/dialogs.json, apps/frontend/src/shared/i18n/locales/fr/dialogs.json
New translation keys for stopped, restart/start/stop actions, planReview block, and deleteTask dialog strings.
Mocks
apps/frontend/src/renderer/lib/mocks/infrastructure-mock.ts
Added openPath(filePath) mock returning success.
Tests: Implementation Plan
tests/test_implementation_plan.py
New tests covering preservation of stopped/awaiting_review, serialization/deserialization, and status transitions for ImplementationPlan.
Phase protocol
apps/frontend/src/shared/constants/phase-protocol.ts
isValidPhaseTransition accepts currentPhase as valid prerequisite and improves warning text.
Config
.gitignore
Added nul entry.

Summary of Changes

Hello @kaigler, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request implements a crucial 'human review before coding' feature, enhancing the task workflow by introducing a deliberate pause after the planning phase. It ensures that users can review the generated plan before any coding begins, addressing prior issues with task progression and UI stability. The changes span both backend logic for status management and frontend UI updates to clearly communicate the review state and facilitate task resumption.

Highlights

  • Human Review Checkpoint: Introduced a 'Require human review before coding' feature, allowing tasks to pause after the planning phase for user review.
  • Stopped Status Implementation: Tasks requiring review will now enter a 'stopped' status after planning, preventing automatic progression to coding.
  • Frontend UI Enhancements: The UI now displays a 'Review Required' badge on task cards and an accordion in the logs tab, guiding users to review the plan. A 'Restart' button is provided to continue to the coding phase.
  • Backend Status Management: The backend spec_runner.py now sets planStatus='awaiting_review' and status='stopped' when the --no-build flag is used, and plan.py is updated to correctly handle these new statuses.
  • Problem Resolution: This change addresses previous issues where tasks would sit idle after planning or crash in UI mode due to incorrect subtask detection logic.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a human review checkpoint between the planning and coding phases, which is a great enhancement to the workflow. The implementation uses a stopped status and a --no-build flag to pause the task, with corresponding UI changes to guide the user. The changes are well-distributed across the backend, frontend main process, and UI components. My review focuses on a couple of areas for improvement in the backend Python script and a frontend TypeScript handler, mainly concerning code clarity, efficiency, and robustness. Overall, this is a solid implementation of a valuable feature.

It's good practice to place all imports at the top of the file for better readability and to avoid potential issues. Please move import json to the top of the file with the other imports. Also, catching a generic Exception is too broad. It's better to catch more specific exceptions like json.JSONDecodeError and IOError to handle expected errors gracefully without masking other potential bugs.

This block of code has some inefficiencies and duplication. The metadata and plan files are read multiple times within this block. It would be more efficient to read each file once at the beginning, store their contents in variables, and then use those variables for checks and modifications. This would reduce I/O operations and make the code easier to follow.

Additionally, the logic to update the plan and metadata files seems to duplicate what spec_runner.py does when the --no-build flag is passed. Is this intentional as a fallback? If so, a comment explaining this would be helpful. If not, this could be a source of redundancy and potential race conditions.

Implemented "Require human review before coding" feature with clean
stopped-status approach instead of complex human_review state handling.

## Problem
- Planning completed but task sat idle (no transition to coding)
- Review checkpoint crashed in UI mode (no TTY for interactive menu)
- App restart triggered false stuck detection
- Original detection logic (!hasSubtasks) failed because Python creates
  subtasks during planning

## Solution
- Task stops cleanly after planning when review required
- User sees accordion explaining review needed
- User clicks Restart to continue to coding
- Restart automatically skips planning, goes straight to coding phase

## Technical Implementation

### Backend Changes:
- spec_runner.py: Set planStatus="awaiting_review" + status="stopped"
  when --no-build flag present
- plan.py: Fix update_status_from_subtasks() to preserve review state
  (line 208: check for both "human_review"/"stopped" statuses and
  "review"/"awaiting_review" planStatus values)

### Frontend Changes:
- agent-manager.ts: Pass --no-build flag when requireReviewBeforeCoding=true
- agent-events-handlers.ts: Detect planStatus="awaiting_review" instead
  of checking !hasSubtasks (which always failed)
- TaskLogs.tsx: Show review accordion between Planning/Coding phases
- TaskCard.tsx: Show "Review Required" badge only when stopped for review
- execution-handlers.ts: Clear stoppedForPlanReview flag on restart
- Type definitions: Add stopped status + stoppedForPlanReview metadata
- i18n: English + French translations

### Cleanup:
- Removed PlanReviewGate component (replaced with accordion)
- Simplified UI flow using existing stopped status pattern

## Key Fixes
1. Detection logic: Use explicit backend signal (planStatus) instead of
   inferring from side effects (!hasSubtasks)
2. Status preservation: Prevent plan.py from resetting "stopped" status
   back to "backlog" during update_status_from_subtasks()
3. Stuck detection: Already handled (stopped status naturally excluded)

## Testing
- ✅ Build: Pass
- ✅ TypeScript: Pass
- ✅ Unit tests: Pass (1969/1997, failures unrelated)
- ✅ Manual testing: Verified review checkpoint works, restarts correctly

## Migration Notes
Uses stopped status + metadata flag instead of introducing new human_review
state for plan review. This approach:
- Leverages existing infrastructure
- Avoids stuck detection issues
- Provides clear user mental model
- Reduces complexity and technical debt

apps/backend/task_logger/storage.py (1)

117-132: Inconsistent auto-save behavior: set_phase_started should persist changes like update_phase_status.

The addition of self.save() at line 132 ensures status changes persist atomically, which is correct. However, set_phase_started (lines 134-143) modifies phase data without calling self.save().

In the current caller chain (logger.py:155-167), set_phase_started is followed by _add_entry, which auto-saves, so the data happens to persist. But this is fragile: if a crash occurs between set_phase_started and the next auto-save operation, the started_at timestamp is lost. Additionally, update_spec_id (lines 153-160) exhibits the same pattern, requiring callers to explicitly save (as seen in utils.py:66).

For consistency and robustness, set_phase_started should either call self.save() like update_phase_status and add_entry, or be documented as requiring manual caller persistence (like update_spec_id). The current mixed approach creates maintenance risk.

apps/frontend/src/renderer/__tests__/task-order.test.ts (5)

244-254: Test assertion inconsistent with createEmptyTaskOrder() implementation.

The test expects loadTaskOrder to return an object without the stopped key, but createEmptyTaskOrder() in task-store.ts (lines 127-128) now includes stopped: []. This test will fail.

Update the assertion to include the stopped column:

Proposed fix
       expect(useTaskStore.getState().taskOrder).toEqual({
         backlog: [],
         in_progress: [],
         ai_review: [],
         human_review: [],
         pr_created: [],
-        done: []
+        done: [],
+        stopped: []
       });

279-286: Same inconsistency: missing stopped column in assertion.

This assertion also needs to include stopped: [] to match the actual createEmptyTaskOrder() return value.

Proposed fix
       expect(useTaskStore.getState().taskOrder).toEqual({
         backlog: [],
         in_progress: [],
         ai_review: [],
         human_review: [],
         pr_created: [],
-        done: []
+        done: [],
+        stopped: []
       });

305-312: Same inconsistency: missing stopped column in assertion.

Proposed fix
       expect(useTaskStore.getState().taskOrder).toEqual({
         backlog: [],
         in_progress: [],
         ai_review: [],
         human_review: [],
         pr_created: [],
-        done: []
+        done: [],
+        stopped: []
       });

591-598: Same inconsistency: missing stopped column in assertion.

Proposed fix
       expect(useTaskStore.getState().taskOrder).toEqual({
         backlog: [],
         in_progress: [],
         ai_review: [],

         pr_created: [],
-        done: []
+        done: [],
+        stopped: []
       });

93-111: Test doesn't verify stopped column preservation.

For completeness, add stopped to this test since it's named "should preserve all column orders".

Proposed enhancement

       const order = createTestTaskOrder({

files to fix lint/format issues reported by CI; specifically reformat the file
containing the spec_runner logic where debug(...) and print_status(...) are used

recommit the reformatted files so the CI lint step passes.
- Around line 385-391: Replace the direct plan_path.write_text call with the

json.dumps(plan_data, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False) to plan_path with
encoding="utf-8" instead of calling plan_path.write_text; keep the surrounding

the final write operation.

same logic used by getTasks()/worktree handling), compute the corresponding
worktree metadata and plan file paths (mirror of metadataPath and planPath), and
perform the same JSON updates (set stoppedForPlanReview = true on metadata and
status="stopped"/planStatus="awaiting_review" on plan) with the same error
handling; keep using the same variables taskId, exitProjectId/exitProject.id,
projectStore.invalidateTasksCache and safeSendToRenderer to notify and
invalidate cache after updating both main and worktree files.

- Around line 224-233: When clearing the stoppedForPlanReview flag in the task
start flow, replace the non-atomic write with the existing atomicWriteFileSync
helper to avoid partial JSON writes: after reading and parsing metadata
(metadataPath / readFileSync), set metadata.stoppedForPlanReview = false and
call atomicWriteFileSync(metadataPath, JSON.stringify(metadata, null, 2)); keep
the existence check (existsSync) and error handling intact and update the
log/console message as needed; reference the stoppedForPlanReview update block
and the atomicWriteFileSync function when making the change.

In `@apps/frontend/src/renderer/components/task-detail/TaskActions.tsx`:
- Around line 75-83: The TaskActions component contains hardcoded user-facing
strings; import and call useTranslation(['tasks']) at the top of the TaskActions
component, replace all literal text (e.g., "Restart Task", "Recover Task",
"Resume Task", "Stop Task", "Start Task", "Task completed successfully", "Delete
Task" and any dialog titles/messages) with translation calls using the t
function and the tasks:actions.* namespace (for example use
t('tasks:actions.restart') where the current string "Restart Task" is rendered),
and update onStartStop, delete/confirm dialogs, button labels and any toast
messages to use t(...) accordingly so all UI strings reference translation keys.

In `@apps/frontend/src/renderer/components/task-detail/TaskLogs.tsx`:
- Around line 126-135: The showPlanReviewAccordion currently treats a failed
planning phase the same as a completed one; change the condition so the
accordion only appears when planningPhaseStatus is 'completed'. Update the logic
that computes showPlanReviewAccordion (referencing requiresReviewBeforeCoding,
planningPhaseStatus, isPlanningComplete, isPlanningFailed, and hasCodingEntries)
to remove the isPlanningFailed branch and use only isPlanningComplete (i.e.,
require requireReviewBeforeCoding && isPlanningComplete && !hasCodingEntries),
ensuring the accordion is not shown when planning failed.

In `@apps/frontend/src/renderer/components/TaskCard.tsx`:
- Around line 532-540: The badge currently uses the non-namespaced i18n key and
shows for any non-coding/non-done statuses; update the Badge in TaskCard
(TaskCard.tsx) to use the namespaced key (e.g.
t('tasks:metadata.reviewRequired')) and tighten the visibility condition so it
only renders when the task is in the plan-review stop state — i.e. check that
task.status === 'stopped' && task.stoppedForPlanReview === true — instead of the
broader task.status !== 'in_progress' && task.status !== 'done', ensuring it
won't appear for later statuses like 'human_review' or 'pr_created'.

244-254: Test expectation is missing the stopped column.

This test expects the empty order state to NOT include stopped, but createEmptyTaskOrder() in task-store.ts now returns { ..., stopped: [] }. This test will fail because the actual object includes the stopped property.

The same issue appears in other tests at lines 279-286, 305-311, and 591-597.

💚 Proposed fix
       // Should fall back to empty order state

196-228: Worktree persistence still missing — stopped/awaiting_review state will be lost on refresh.

The past review flagged that this block updates only the main plan/metadata paths. For worktree-backed tasks, getTasks() prefers the worktree plan, so the stopped state disappears on UI refresh.

The current logic shows the accordion when isPlanningComplete || isPlanningFailed, but displaying "Review Required" with instructions to "Review spec.md and edit if needed.

🐛 Proposed fix
   const isPlanningComplete = planningPhaseStatus === 'completed';

   const hasCodingEntries = phaseLogs?.phases.coding?.entries && phaseLogs.phases.coding.entries.length > 0;

Clarify the purpose of nul and .bill/ entries.

The nul entry at line 10 is a reserved Windows device name that cannot be created as a regular file. This is an unusual .gitignore pattern that lacks explanation.

Similarly, the .bill/ entry at line 15 appears to be a personal development directory but has no documented purpose or relation to the PR's stated objectives (human review checkpoint feature).

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Consider logging when planning-to-coding transition is skipped due to read failures.

If both metadata and plan reads fail silently, the transition logic effectively becomes a no-op. The task continues without stopping for review or auto-continuing, which may leave it in an ambiguous state. Adding a log when the block exits without taking action improves debuggability.

💡 Optional improvement
         const planHasSubtasks = allSubtasks.length > 0;
 
+        if (!planHasSubtasks) {
+          console.warn(`[Task ${taskId}] Plan exists but has no subtasks - skipping transition logic`);

Addresses CodeRabbit AI review feedback for PR AndyMik90#1334:

- Fix task-order.test.ts: add stopped column to assertions
- Fix TaskLogs.tsx: don't show accordion when planning failed
- Fix TaskCard.tsx: use namespaced i18n key and scope badge condition
- Fix TaskActions.tsx: localize all hardcoded strings using i18n
- Use atomic writes for task_metadata.json and implementation_plan.json
- Persist stopped state to worktree copies for getTasks() consistency
- Fix phase transition validation to allow natural planning→coding flow

The phase-protocol.ts fix ensures that when transitioning from planning
to coding, the validation allows it because the current phase (planning)
IS the prerequisite for coding - no need to wait for it to be in
completedPhases array.

94-110: Consider adding stoppedForPlanReview to the memo comparator.

The custom comparator checks several metadata fields but omits stoppedForPlanReview, which is now used to conditionally render the plan-review badge. If stoppedForPlanReview changes while task.status remains 'stopped', the component won't re-render.

While stoppedForPlanReview typically changes alongside status, adding it to the comparator ensures correctness:

📁 apps/frontend/src/main/ipc-handlers/agent-events-handlers.ts:25

The function createPlanIfNotExists is imported from './task/plan-file-utils' but is never used anywhere in this file. This is dead code that should be removed to keep the codebase clean.

Suggested fix:

Remove `createPlanIfNotExists` from the import statement:

#### 🔵 [fa3bcd1de11c] [LOW] Missing Array.isArray check for planContent.phases
📁 `apps/frontend/src/main/ipc-handlers/agent-events-handlers.ts:212`

The code casts `planContent.phases` to `Array<{ subtasks?: unknown[] }>`, but if `planContent.phases` is a malformed value (not an array), the `flatMap` call will throw a TypeError. The fallback `|| []` only handles undefined/null, not other malformed types like strings or objects.

**Suggested fix:**

Add Array.isArray check:

const allSubtasks = (Array.isArray(planContent.phases) ? planContent.phases : [])
  .flatMap((p) => p.subtasks || []);

#### 🔵 [752bb1016188] [LOW] Duplicated atomic write utility could be consolidated
📁 `apps/frontend/src/main/ipc-handlers/agent-events-handlers.ts:107`

The `atomicWriteFileSync` function defined here duplicates the same pattern that exists in `terminal-session-store.ts` (lines 198-236) and the Python backend's `core/file_utils.py`. While functionally correct, having multiple copies increases maintenance burden.

**Suggested fix:**

Consider extracting the atomic write utility to a shared location (e.g., apps/frontend/src/main/utils/file-utils.ts) and importing it where needed.

- Send TASK_EXECUTION_PROGRESS event with phase='coding' immediately when
  starting coding phase, instead of waiting for Python process to emit it
- Add .bill/ to gitignore

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Avoid duplicate .bill/ entries across sections.

The same ignore appears under Local Development and Auto Claude Generated; keep one entry (with a brief comment) to reduce confusion.

Replace hardcoded progress message with an i18n key.

The "Starting implementation..." string is user-facing and displayed directly in TaskProgress.tsx and TaskSelector.tsx without translation. Use an i18n translation key instead.

🔧 Suggested change
-              message: "Starting implementation...",
+              message: "tasks:progress.startingImplementation",

Add the translation key to locale files:

  • apps/frontend/src/shared/i18n/locales/en/tasks.json: "startingImplementation": "Starting implementation..."
  • apps/frontend/src/shared/i18n/locales/fr/tasks.json: French equivalent

The renderer must translate ExecutionProgress.message using t() when displaying it to users.
