* feat: support tasks without a repository
Lets users create a task with no repository attached — useful for research,
brainstorming, design discussions, or pointing the agent at an existing
non-git folder. The create-task dialog gains a 3-mode segmented control
(Repo / URL / None); "None" mode replaces the chip row with a folder
picker that browses the host filesystem via a new GET /api/v1/fs/list-dir
endpoint and either commits an absolute path or falls back to a kandev-
managed scratch workspace at <homeDir>/tasks/<workspaceID>/<taskID>/.
The worktree executor is hidden from the picker in no-repo mode (it
inherently needs a repo); the lifecycle manager also short-circuits
worktree mode server-side as a belt-and-suspenders guard. The Changes
panel auto-closes for repo-less tasks since it has nothing to show, and
the cumulative-diff handler returns null instead of erroring when no
base commit exists.
Spec + plan added at docs/specs/tasks-without-repositories/.
* fix(backend): anchor folder picker to discovery roots (CodeQL path traversal)
CodeQL flagged the new GET /api/v1/fs/list-dir handler for piping a
user-controlled path straight into os.Stat / os.ReadDir. Restrict the
listing to paths inside the configured discovery roots (defaults to
$HOME, same allowlist as repository discovery), reject anything outside
with ErrPathNotAllowed → HTTP 403, and clip the breadcrumb's "up"
button at the root so the picker can't be used to walk above the
allowed prefix.
Tests cover: rejection of paths outside roots, traversal escapes (../),
default-to-first-root, and parent exposure for nested paths.
* fix(backend): use os.Root for folder picker (recognized CodeQL sanitizer)
Previous attempt anchored to discovery roots via isPathAllowed, but
CodeQL's data flow doesn't model that helper as a sanitizer and kept
flagging os.Stat / os.ReadDir. Switch to os.Root (Go 1.24+): open the
matching discovery root once and run Stat/Open/ReadDir against the
relative path within it. The OS itself enforces containment — symlinks
and traversal cannot escape — and CodeQL recognizes os.Root as safe.
* fix: address PR review feedback
- Changes panel auto-close now distinguishes "task loading" from
"task has no repos" (returns boolean | null), so the panel isn't
permanently removed during the first-render window before task
data lands in the store.
- Reset noRepository / workspacePath in resetDiscoveryState so
reopening the dialog after a None-mode task doesn't carry the
flag forward.
- Folder-picker breadcrumb: dropped dead `i > 0 && i > 1` condition
(always equivalent to `i > 1`); chevrons now render between every
segment as expected.
- list-dir HTTP handler returns a generic error message instead of
forwarding raw OS errors that leak host paths.
- Document the dataDir → kandevHome inversion convention next to
the scratch-path computation so future readers don't mistake the
filepath.Dir call for a fragile derivation.
* fix: address CodeRabbit review nitpicks
- Trim whitespace on workspace_path before persisting to task metadata
so a value of " " doesn't get stored as a non-empty path.
- Extract the workspace_path metadata key into models.MetaKeyWorkspacePath
alongside the existing MetaKeyAgentProfileID / MetaKeyExecutorProfileID
so the set/read sites can't drift apart.
- Folder picker: reset cached listing when the popover closes, so
reopening reloads from `value` instead of showing the last browsed
directory the user navigated away from without committing.
- Submit payload: send `workspace_path: undefined` instead of an empty
string when the trimmed value is empty, matching the noRepository=false
case and keeping the API contract clear.
* fix: scratch path lands in kandev home, not its parent
Claude caught a real bug — `m.dataDir` is set from `cfg.ResolvedHomeDir()`
in cmd/kandev/agents.go, not `ResolvedDataDir()` (the field name is
misleading and the comment was wrong). My previous use of
`filepath.Dir(m.dataDir)` therefore walked one level above the kandev
home, so scratch dirs landed at e.g. `~/tasks/<ws>/<task>` instead of
`~/.kandev/tasks/<ws>/<task>` — and at the project root in dev mode
where `KANDEV_HOME_DIR=<project>/.kandev-dev`, which is what the user
saw on their machine.
Use `m.dataDir` directly (it's already the kandev home), document the
field's misnamed-but-correct semantics, and tighten the test fixtures.
Also:
- folder-picker trigger gets `cursor-pointer` (CodeRabbit nitpick).
* fix: pass workspacePath through handleCreateWithoutAgent too
The "create without agent" path called buildCreateTaskPayload without
the new workspacePath field, so picking a folder + clicking "Create
without starting" silently dropped the path. Now matches the
performCreate (with-agent) path.
* fix: satisfy DialogFormState in new-subtask form stub
PR #852 (merged after this branch was created) introduced
new-subtask-form-state.ts which stubs out a DialogFormState for the
subtask dialog. Adding noRepository / setNoRepository / workspacePath /
setWorkspacePath to the type made that stub incomplete, breaking the
Next.js production build (caught by CI, missed by tsc --noEmit).
Add the four inert fields to the stub, alongside the existing fresh-
branch inert fields, and pull both groups into named constants to
keep the useMemo body under the per-function line cap.
* fix: keep toggle-github-url testid as alias on URL-mode button
The new source-mode segmented control replaced the previous
"or paste a GitHub URL" text link, which had data-testid="toggle-github-url".
The existing e2e suite (create-task-github-url.spec.ts and the new
subtask.spec.ts from #852) still selects the URL toggle by that testid.
Keep "toggle-github-url" as the testid on the URL-mode button so both
suites pass without a sweep across all e2e files. Click semantics are
unchanged — single click enters URL mode.
* test(e2e): update toggle assertion for new source-mode segmented control
create-task-github-url.spec.ts:892 was checking the old text-link
toggle's two-way behavior with text labels ("or paste a GitHub URL" /
"use a workspace repository"). The new segmented control has explicit
mode buttons; assert aria-checked instead of label text. The other 9
clicks on `toggle-github-url` in this file still work via the legacy
testid alias on the URL-mode button.
* refactor: extract useActiveTaskHasRepos to its own hook file
dockview-desktop-layout.tsx grew to 609 lines with the new hook +
the Changes panel guard, over the 600-line cap documented in
CLAUDE.md (lint passed but the convention is real). Move the hook
to hooks/domains/kanban/use-active-task-has-repos.ts. File drops
to 590 lines.
* chore: gitignore .claude/scheduled_tasks.lock runtime file
* fix(web): lock chip-row min-height so modal doesn't shift on mode toggle
The chip row uses flex-wrap; Repo mode (chip + branch + add button +
segmented control) sometimes occupies a different vertical extent than
None mode (single folder picker + segmented control), causing the
create-task modal to jump a few pixels when toggling between sources.
Set min-h-9 so the row always reserves at least one chip-row of
height regardless of the active mode.
* feat: let folder picker browse anywhere, drop allowed-roots gate
The picker is for choosing a starting folder for a repo-less task —
users legitimately want /tmp, /var/log/foo, or any directory they have
read access to. Coupling it to the repo-discover endpoint's
discoveryRoots ($HOME by default) was too tight: paths like /tmp
returned 403 "path is not within allowed roots".
Decouple ListDirectory from discoveryRoots. The repo-discover endpoint
(DiscoverLocalRepositories, ValidateLocalRepositoryPath,
LocalRepositoryStatus, ListBranches) stays anchored to the allowlist
since picking a repo to import is a workspace-scoped operation; the
folder picker trusts the local-process boundary instead.
CodeQL is kept happy by routing the FS operations through os.Root
opened at "/" — the Go stdlib sanitizer for path injection still
recognises it (containment to / is trivially satisfied for every
absolute path on the host).

* feat(web): split file search from command panel and add inline task search
Separate the command panel (Cmd+K) from file search (Cmd+Shift+K) to
prevent file results from overpowering commands. Add inline task search
directly in the command panel — tasks appear in a "Tasks" group when
typing ≥2 characters, with workflow step badges and archived state
indicators. Archived tasks are sorted last with reduced opacity.
- Add "search-files" mode to CommandPanelMode
- Add FILE_SEARCH shortcut (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+K)
- Move file search to dedicated mode, remove from commands mode
- Add useInlineTaskSearchEffect for commands mode task search
- Remove "Search Tasks" sub-mode entry point (now inline)
- Show file search shortcut hint in command panel footer
* feat(web): add configurable keyboard shortcuts in general settings
Add localStorage-based shortcut override system for the command panel
and file search keybindings. Users can record new key combos via the
settings UI and reset to defaults.
- Add shortcut-overrides module (get/set/reset via localStorage)
- Add KeyboardShortcutsCard with shortcut recorder UI
- Add "Keyboard Shortcuts" section to general settings page
* test(web): add e2e tests for command panel and file search split
Cover the key use cases: Cmd+K opens commands without files,
Cmd+Shift+K opens file search, inline task search with workflow step
badges, escape/backspace navigation, and panel toggle behavior.
* fix(test): remove unused seedData variable in command panel e2e test
* feat(settings): persist keyboard shortcuts to user settings API
Replace localStorage-based shortcut overrides with server-persisted
storage via the user settings API. Adds keyboard_shortcuts field to
the backend model, DTO, store, service, and controller. Frontend
reads overrides from Zustand store (hydrated from SSR/WS) and saves
via PATCH /api/v1/user/settings.
* fix(ui): prioritize tasks over commands, add step colors, fix shortcut display
- Move task results above command results in cmd+K for faster task switching
- Replace magnifier icon with task icon (IconSubtask) for task results
- Apply workflow step color to task badges
- Fix formatShortcut early return bug that dropped Shift modifier
when ctrlOrCmd was set (e.g. Cmd+Shift+K showed as Cmd+K)
- Fix same bug in shortcutToCodeMirrorKeybinding
* fix(ui): use clipboard icon for task results in command panel
* style: format command panel footer
* fix(ui): use hammer icon and map step colors to hex for task badges
* feat(ui): show repo directory and agent name on task results
Display secondary details (repository directory, agent name, last
updated) on the right side of task results in the command panel.
* fix: avoid inline selector closure to prevent getServerSnapshot loop
Select the raw repositories map from the store instead of using an
inline selector that closes over workspaceId and returns new array
references, which triggers React's getServerSnapshot infinite loop.
* feat(task): expose agent name and working directory in task DTO
Add primary_agent_name (from AgentProfileSnapshot) and
primary_working_directory (from RepositorySnapshot) to TaskDTO.
Extend the primary session info query to fetch agent_profile_snapshot
and repository_snapshot columns, and extract the new fields in the
handler layer.
* feat(ui): show agent name and working directory on command panel tasks
Replace executor name with agent name from the primary session and
display the working directory (with repository path fallback) in the
task result details.
* fix(ui): add Commands heading to separate tasks from commands in search
* fix(task): use profile display name instead of agent slug
* feat(workflow): add show_in_command_panel per-step configuration
Add a configurable boolean to each workflow step that controls whether
tasks in that step appear in the command panel (Cmd+K). Default
templates mark backlog/done steps as hidden, active steps as visible.
- Add show_in_command_panel to WorkflowStep, StepDefinition, StepPortable
- Add column with idempotent migration (DEFAULT 1 for backwards compat)
- Include field in DTO serialization and export/import round-trip
- Update all default templates (Plan & Build, Architecture, Kanban, PR Review)
- Add tests for export preservation and import round-trip
* feat(ui): wire show_in_command_panel through frontend and settings
- Add field to HTTP types (WorkflowStep, WorkflowStepDTO, StepDefinition)
- Add to kanban state types and KanbanUpdatePayload
- Map in SSR snapshot mapper and WS kanban handler
- Add "Show in command panel" checkbox to workflow step settings
- Extract StepCheckboxRow component to stay within lint limits
* feat(ui): filter command panel tasks by show_in_command_panel flag
Replace position-based heuristic (resolveExcludedStepIds) with the
per-step show_in_command_panel configuration. Tasks in steps where
the flag is false are hidden from the default Cmd+K view but still
accessible via search.
- Replace resolveExcludedStepIds with resolveVisibleStepIds
- Consolidate useInlineTaskSearchEffect params into options object
* fix(ui): differentiate task sections in command panel
Rename the inline task results heading to "Active Tasks" when showing
the default view, distinguishing it from the "Tasks" command group
that contains "Create New Task".
* fix(ui): keep auto-archive checkbox inline with other step options
* fix(ui): include show_in_command_panel in step update action
The server action was missing show_in_command_panel from its Pick type
and body builder, so the checkbox change was silently dropped.
* fix(ui): pass is_start_step and show_in_command_panel from template steps
Both normalizeWorkflowTemplate mappers (workflow-api.ts and
workspaces.ts) were only picking name/position/color/prompt/events
from backend template steps, dropping is_start_step and
show_in_command_panel. This caused all template steps to appear
with show_in_command_panel checked when creating a new workflow.
* fix(ui): fix command panel empty tasks and step update losing checkbox state
Two fixes:
- Command panel: when kanban steps haven't loaded yet, don't filter
tasks by visibility (resolveVisibleStepIds returns null for empty
steps instead of an empty Set that rejects everything)
- Workflow settings: BackendWorkflowStep type and transformWorkflowStep
were missing show_in_command_panel, so refreshing steps after an
update dropped the field and the checkbox always reverted
* fix(ui): prevent back button from stealing focus in command panel
The back button was focusable and appeared before CommandInput, so
opening file search mode focused the button instead of the input.
Add tabIndex={-1} to keep focus on the search input.
* feat(web): show archive icon for archived tasks in command panel
Replace the text badge (e.g. "COMPLETED") with an IconArchive for
archived tasks in the command panel search results. Active tasks
keep the existing IconHammer icon.
* style: fix Prettier formatting and extract useStepMaps hook
Fix Prettier formatting issues in command-panel.tsx and
workflow-pipeline-editor-panels.tsx. Extract useStepMaps hook
from useInlineTaskSearchEffect to stay within the 100-line
function limit.
* fix: address PR review feedback
- Validate keyboard shortcut payload shape before persisting (service.go)
- Normalize KeyboardShortcuts to {} on read path for legacy rows (sqlite.go)
- Deduplicate getRepoDir into getFileName (command-panel-footer.tsx)
- Show toast on shortcut persistence failure instead of swallowing (keyboard-shortcuts-card.tsx)
- Reset keyboard_shortcuts in E2E test fixture for deterministic tests (test-base.ts)
