I have the same issue. Something froze, stalled, or whatever. I couldn't cancel the currently running request. This has happened before, and restarting VSCode normally resolved the issue. This time, I cannot click into the session that stalled before, and every time I click on another session, it deletes it instead of opening it.

Clicking the history tab will cause the same thing to happen. The frozen session cannot be clicked; when clicked, it brings you back to the default tab, but clicking others deletes them. Deleting the frozen session does not resolve the issue. I clear all sessions and start a new one before it resolves itself.

Running macOS Sequoia and VSCode, whatever the most current versions for everything are. I mainly use my local server "remotely" via remote SSH from my workstation.

Edit: This happened while I was waiting for the failed command output to be pushed back to the session chat for the AI to process. It was never sent to the API and stalled there.

I believe this issue is due to Roo trying to handle too much data at once. I found the JSON files on the server for the broken sessions. The ui_messages.json was empty on all of them. A similar bug on Cline, Issue #4028, relates here.

It also freezes when commands take longer than a minute or two. For instance, I'm launching a custom TensorFlow Docker Container and installing several packages. After about five minutes, it's frozen. If I click Proceed While Running fairly early, it ignores the running command and continues with something else, and it would be fine. If I leave it alone, after about three minutes, it freezes, and that's that—you can't get it unstuck.

Hopefully this helps. I'm kinda dead in the water with big projects.

I just noticed that my ui_messages.json file for the currently frozen session jumped up to 2MB in size and then back down to 0.

I was able to get some of the output. This looks like it's saving/storing ALL of the second steps for the interactive console status output while deploying a Docker Container, and probably with other similar tasks. It's the same status message, same text, with time increments counting up .10 of a second at a time.

I guess that explains why it's overloading it, it's adding a log entry for every 10th of a second.

Echo-ing this. I've had 2 tasks deleted now while trying to access them. In both instances, Roo-Code was in a frozen-like state due to handling too much data at once.

This should be fixed as it relates to the search tool but still may stand related to #1383
