Completed desktop task bars were only being dismissed locally, which let the
persisted task list resurface on refresh or bleed into the next user turn.
This wires the existing server-side reset path into the desktop stores and
session flow so a finished task cycle is summarized once, cleared locally,
and removed remotely before the next round starts.
Constraint: Existing task persistence already lives behind the server task-list API and must stay compatible with persisted JSON task files
Rejected: Only hide the completed task bar in UI state | left stale persisted tasks behind and reintroduced them on reload
Rejected: Clear desktop state without a task summary | dropped useful completion context from the chat transcript
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep desktop task dismissal and task-list persistence behavior aligned; do not reintroduce local-only clearing without covering reload and next-turn flows
Tested: `cd desktop && bun run lint`
Tested: `cd desktop && bun run test src/stores/cliTaskStore.test.ts src/stores/chatStore.test.ts src/components/chat/SessionTaskBar.test.tsx src/components/chat/ComputerUsePermissionModal.test.tsx`
Tested: `bun test src/server/__tests__/e2e/business-flow.test.ts --test-name-pattern "Task Lists API"`
Not-tested: Full `bun test src/server/__tests__/e2e/business-flow.test.ts` suite still has unrelated pre-existing failures in Models and Sessions sections
The desktop task bar used a single global task store, but session switches
could leave it pointed at the previous conversation. Re-entering an already
connected session skipped task refresh entirely, and changing task list IDs did
not clear stale tasks before the next fetch resolved.
This change refreshes CLI tasks on every session activation, clears stale task
state immediately when the tracked session changes, and locks that behavior
with regression tests around reconnect and cross-session task isolation.
Constraint: The current desktop task bar architecture uses one shared CLI task store across sessions
Rejected: Per-session task store refactor | too broad for a targeted bug fix
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If tasks become session-scoped later, re-evaluate the eager refresh in connectToSession before removing it
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test src/stores/chatStore.test.ts src/stores/cliTaskStore.test.ts src/pages/ActiveSession.test.tsx
Not-tested: Manual desktop UI verification against a packaged app build
Task card was expanded by default and overlapped the main chat area
whenever todos appeared. Start collapsed and reset expanded state on
clearTasks so new sessions also begin collapsed; users can click the
header to expand when needed.
When all tasks were completed and the user continued chatting, the inline
task summary was shown correctly. But on page refresh, loadHistory and
fetchSessionTasks would re-populate the task store, making the sticky bar
reappear.
- Add completedAndDismissed flag to cliTaskStore
- Detect user messages after last task tool call in history (V1 + V2)
- SessionTaskBar skips render when allCompleted && completedAndDismissed
- refreshTasks/setTasksFromTodos reset the flag for new task activity
- Fix InlineTaskSummary width to match parent container

The CLI subprocess runs in --print (non-interactive) mode, which disabled
V2 task tools (TaskCreate/TaskUpdate). Only TodoWrite was available, but
the frontend only tracked V2 tool names for task refresh — so the Tasks
bar never appeared for new WebApp sessions.
Changes:
- Set CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TASKS=1 in CLI subprocess env to enable V2 tasks
- Add TodoWrite to TASK_TOOL_NAMES for backward compat with V1 sessions
- Parse TodoWrite input.todos directly into TaskBar state (no disk read)
- Extract last TodoWrite from history on session load for V1 sessions
- Inline completed task summary into message flow when user continues chat
(sticky TaskBar converts to scrollable inline summary)

Remove the separate Tasks sidebar page (wrong concept — was showing
scheduled tasks). Instead, display CLI task progress as a sticky bar
at the bottom of the active session, matching the official desktop app
behavior. Tasks are refreshed in real-time by detecting TaskCreate/
TaskUpdate tool_result messages over WebSocket.

- Settings: new Providers tab with full CRUD, activation, and connectivity
test; Model tab shows active provider name; General tab simplified
- Tasks: new CLI Tasks page displaying task lists from ~/.claude/tasks/
with status, owner, and dependency (blocks/blockedBy) visualization
- NewTaskModal: add Advanced options (model, permission mode, working dir)
- Backend: fix TaskService to parse CLI V2 task format; extend /api/tasks
with /lists endpoint for grouped queries
- Fix ModelInfo.context type from number to string
