Task 01: Reset Executor on Source Transition

Intent

Invalidate the executor selected for repository-less mode when the user returns to Repo so the existing destination-source policy can choose the correct profile.

Acceptance

• Entering repository-less mode clears the previous executor and continues to resolve direct Local.
• Leaving repository-less mode also clears Local so Repo resolves the valid workspace default or Worktree fallback.
• Source flags, selected repositories and branches, remote rows, and last-used persistence behavior remain unchanged.

TDD sequence

1. Add a focused useDialogHandlers regression for leaving repository-less mode with a populated Local executor.
2. Run the regression. Verify that it fails because the executor setters are not called.
3. Add or retain the paired entering-mode assertion.
4. Move the executor invalidation to the shared part of handleToggleNoRepository and run the focused handler and executor-policy suites to GREEN.
5. Run the web typecheck.

Files likely touched

Dependencies

None.

Parallelism

sequential. This task owns the shared state transition required by Task 02.

Inputs

• Spec scenario for Repo to repository-less mode to Repo.
• Plan sections Confirmed root cause and Source transition reset.
• Existing useDefaultSelectionsEffect policy and ADR docs/decisions/2026-08-01-repository-task-executor-defaults.md.

Verification

cd apps && pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm --filter @kandev/web test -- components/task-create-dialog-handlers.test.ts components/task-create-dialog-effects-executor.test.ts && cd web && pnpm run typecheck

Risks

• Do not select Worktree directly in the handler. Explicit workspace defaults and fallback policy belong to the existing effects.
• Assert both executor ID and profile invalidation because either populated field can suppress or conflict with recomputation.

Output contract

Report the RED failure, changed files, exact results, blockers, and risks. Then update this task and plan.md in the same conversation.

Results

RED:

• cd apps/web && pnpm test -- --run components/task-create-dialog-handlers.test.ts -t "clears the executor when leaving repository-less mode"
• Failed with the expected assertion because the executor setters received no empty value.

GREEN and task checks:

• cd apps/web && pnpm test -- --run components/task-create-dialog-handlers.test.ts -t "clears the executor when leaving repository-less mode" — 1 passed.
• cd apps && pnpm install --frozen-lockfile — dependencies were ready.
• cd apps && pnpm --filter @kandev/web test -- components/task-create-dialog-handlers.test.ts components/task-create-dialog-effects-executor.test.ts — 37 passed across 2 files.
• cd apps/web && pnpm run typecheck — passed.

Changed files:

• apps/web/components/task-create-dialog-handlers.ts
• apps/web/components/task-create-dialog-handlers.test.ts

Cleanup and side effects: no temporary files or external services were created.
