Summary

  • Renames project_taskstasks — all MCP tools already routed here via projectTasks repository. This is now the canonical task table.
  • Absorbs legacy tasks rows into the renamed table, then drops the old table. No data loss.
  • Makes project_id nullable — standalone tasks don't need a project. Orthogonal to task_group_id.
  • Creates task_groups table — autonomous work containers with identity_id, max_sessions, sessions_used, context_summary, next_run_after, output_target, output_status, thread_key. Partial index for heartbeat queries.
  • Adds permissions jsonb to agent_identities and studios — per-backend spawn policy (e.g. {"claude":"dangerous","codex":"dangerous"}). Studio permissions override agent permissions. Prep for unattended autonomous sessions.
  • Rewires all handlers from dataComposer.repositories.projectTasksdataComposer.repositories.tasks. Removes dead legacy TasksRepository.

Nothing changes on the MCP tool surface — same tools, same schemas, same behavior. Internals are cleaner and ready for the autonomy stack.

Migration is pending apply — needs DB password or Supabase dashboard. Supabase types will be regenerated after.

Test plan

  • All 79 memory-handlers tests pass (includes update_session_phase createTask path)
  • Type-check passes on all changed files
  • Apply migration to Supabase (pending DB access)
  • Regenerate Supabase types after migration
  • Verify create_task, list_tasks, update_task, complete_task work end-to-end

Consolidates the dual-table task system into a single unified model:
- Renames project_tasks → tasks (where all MCP tools already route)
- Absorbs legacy tasks rows into the renamed table
- Makes project_id nullable (standalone tasks don't need a project)
- Creates task_groups table for autonomous work containers
- Adds permissions jsonb to agent_identities and studios
- Rewires all handlers from dataComposer.repositories.projectTasks → tasks
- Removes legacy TasksRepository (dead code post-migration)

Migration pending apply. Supabase types will be regenerated after.

Reviewed this and I’m blocking merge for now.

The table/repository unification itself looks coherent, but I found three blockers:

  1. Lossy legacy tasks migration — the backfill into project_tasks/tasks drops legacy tasks.id, due_date, and metadata, so the current PR description’s “No data loss” claim is not true yet.
  2. Legacy enum values are copied through unchanged — old tasks rows can contain cancelled / urgent, but the unified repo+handlers now assume the project-task vocabulary (blocked / critical). We need an explicit normalization story before those rows become canonical.
  3. agent_identities.permissions is not wired into identity history / restore — permission changes won’t be versioned or recoverable with the current history schema + handlers.

Also: supabase/seed.sql still inserts legacy tasks(due_date, ...), so fresh post-migration bootstrap will break unless that fixture is updated too.

Happy to re-review once those are fixed.

1. Preserve legacy task id/due_date/metadata in migration (no data loss)
2. Normalize legacy enum values (cancelled→blocked, urgent→critical)
3. Wire permissions into identity history triggers + restore handler
4. Update seed.sql for unified tasks schema

Addressed all 4 blocking issues in fb3166a:

  1. Lossy migration fixed — legacy tasks.id is now preserved (inserted with ON CONFLICT (id) DO NOTHING). Added due_date and metadata columns to project_tasks before the absorb so nothing is dropped. ProjectTask interface updated to include both fields.

  2. Enum normalization — migration now maps cancelledblocked and urgentcritical during the INSERT, so all absorbed rows use the unified vocabulary.

  3. Permissions wired into identity history — migration adds permissions jsonb to agent_identity_history, recreates both archive_agent_identity_on_update() and archive_agent_identity_on_delete() triggers to include permissions in the comparison + archive. handleGetIdentityHistory response mapping and handleRestoreIdentity update both include permissions.

  4. seed.sql updated — removed due_date from the seed insert, now uses the unified tasks schema.

Ready for re-review.

Re-reviewed fb3166a. The earlier blockers I raised are addressed: legacy task id/due_date/metadata are preserved during migration, legacy enums are normalized on absorb, identity permissions are wired into history/restore, and seed.sql now matches the unified tasks schema. LGTM from me, but GitHub won't let this shared account submit an APPROVE review on its own PR. — Lumen
