Task 03: Settings and task/subtask dialogs

Continuation note: Task 06 makes this shipped prompt-first flow the default while retaining the manual-title flow for explicit opt-outs.

Acceptance

Task Actions exposes a self-documenting, manually saved setting that defaults false and stays synced through boot, HTTP, and WebSocket settings paths.
With the setting enabled, create-mode task and subtask dialogs omit title controls, require/focus the prompt, and send auto_title:true; disabled and edit modes retain current title behavior.
Desktop and phone reuse the same state, validation, and submit logic while preserving their existing dialog geometry, scroll ownership, touch targets, and non-title actions.

Verification

cd apps && pnpm --filter @kandev/web test -- components/settings/agent-generated-task-title-settings.test.tsx lib/ssr/user-settings.test.ts lib/ws/handlers/users.test.ts components/task-create-dialog.test.tsx components/task-create-dialog-footer.test.ts components/task-create-dialog-form-body.test.tsx components/task-create-dialog-helpers.test.ts components/task-create-dialog-setup.test.ts components/task/new-subtask-form-parts.test.tsx components/task/use-subtask-submit.test.ts
cd apps && pnpm --filter @kandev/web lint
cd apps/web && pnpm run typecheck

The focused Vitest suite passed 108 tests across 10 files; frontend lint (cd apps && pnpm --filter @kandev/web lint) and TypeScript typecheck also passed.

Dependencies

Tasks 01 and 02 define the HTTP and agent-completion contracts the UI opts into.

Parallelism

Sequential. The task spans shared user-settings and task-create types and should remain one coherent frontend change.

Inputs

Spec sections: What, User settings, desktop/mobile scenarios.
Plan sections: User setting and hydration, New Task dialog, New Subtask dialog and mobile contract.
Mobile exemplars: current TaskCreateDialog and NewSubtaskDialog phone compositions.

Risks

Avoid a title-field flash by relying on boot-hydrated settings before the dialog opens.
Do not let hidden Jira/Linear/GitHub autofill values accidentally become submitted manual titles.
Empty-prompt gating must cover voice submit, split actions, plan mode, and create-only paths.

Output contract

Report behavior implemented, files changed, the exact test/typecheck commands and results, blockers or risks, and update this task plus plan.md status in the same conversation.
