🔄 Turn-Commit-Kontask Lifecycle Design

⚠️ The Problem

Today's incident took 2 hours to recover from because:

  • Multiple turns of work were committed together
  • When it broke, we couldn't tell which change caused it
  • Had to roll back everything and lose all progress
  • No linkage between kontasks and commits for traceability

✅ Solution 1: Auto-Commit After Every Turn

Add to CLAUDE.md as a MUST-follow rule:

## Turn Completion Protocol

**CRITICAL: Commit at the end of EVERY turn that modifies files.**

1. Before creating the output kontask, check `git status`
2. If there are changed/added/deleted files:
   - Stage all changes: `git add -A`
   - Commit with descriptive message + kontask reference
   - Include commit SHA in kontask context
3. Create the output kontask with commit info embedded

**Commit message format:**
```
Turn: {brief description}

Kontask: {kontask-id}
Session: {session-id}

```

✅ Solution 2: Link Commits to Kontasks

Add new fields to kontask schema:

Field Type Purpose
commitSha string Git commit SHA for this turn's changes
filesChanged string[] List of files modified in this turn
linesAdded number Lines added in this turn
linesRemoved number Lines removed in this turn

🔗 Solution 3: Additional Lifecycle Gaps to Close

Gap Solution Priority
No rollback button Add "↩ Rollback" button to kontask detail that runs git revert {sha} High
Can't see what changed Show git diff in kontask card when commitSha present High
Multi-turn features risk Use feature branches: git checkout -b turn/{requestId} Medium
Service restart breaks context Persist session state to file before restart (already documented) Medium
No build verification Run deno check before commit, abort if fails Medium
Tests not run Run affected service tests before commit (optional flag) Low

📋 CLAUDE.md Update - New Section

## Turn Completion Protocol (MANDATORY)

**Every turn that modifies files MUST commit before creating the output kontask.**

This rule exists because:
- Rolling back multi-turn commits is painful (2+ hours of lost work)
- Kontasks without commits have no recovery path
- Git bisect becomes possible with atomic commits

### End-of-Turn Checklist

1. **Check for changes:** `git status --porcelain`
2. **If files changed:**
   - Stage: `git add -A`
   - Verify: `deno check` on affected services (optional but recommended)
   - Commit with format below
3. **Include commit in kontask:** Add `commitSha` to context
4. **Create kontask** with full output

### Commit Message Format

```
Turn: {brief 50-char max description}

{optional body with details}

Kontask: {kontask-title}
Files: {count} changed (+{added}/-{removed} lines)

### Recovery Actions

| Situation | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| Turn broke something | `git revert {sha}` (via kontask rollback button) |
| Need to see what changed | View diff in kontask detail (when `commitSha` present) |
| Multiple turns broke it | `git log --oneline` → find last good → `git reset --hard {sha}` |

### Exceptions (No Commit Required)

- Read-only turns (queries, searches, explanations)
- Turns that only produce output (no file changes)
- When user explicitly says "don't commit"

🔧 Implementation Steps

  1. Update CLAUDE.md with Turn Completion Protocol section
  2. Update kontask-types.ts to add commitSha, filesChanged fields
  3. Update kontask-detail.ts to show commit info + rollback button
  4. Create helper script /konnectvol/bin/turn-commit.sh for consistent commits
  5. Test the flow with a simple change
