Summary

  • Users can now change task status even when a task is in "processing" state
  • The status (S) shortcut is now always visible in the help bar
  • "Processing" is now available as a status option in the change status modal

Changes Made

  • Removed status change restrictions from dashboard view (internal/ui/app.go:851-854)
  • Removed status change restrictions from detail view (internal/ui/app.go:967-970)
  • Updated help bar to always show status shortcut (internal/ui/detail.go:1020-1026)
  • Added StatusProcessing to available status options in the change status modal (internal/ui/app.go:1320)

Motivation

Previously, users were blocked from changing a task's status when it was in the "processing" state. This limitation prevented users from having full control over their tasks. With this change, users have complete freedom to move tasks into any status they want, regardless of the current state.

Test plan

  • Build succeeds without errors
  • Code changes verified through git diff
  • Manual testing: Start a task (status becomes "processing")
  • Manual testing: Press 'S' to change status - modal should appear
  • Manual testing: Verify "Processing" appears as an option in the modal
  • Manual testing: Change status to any other state successfully

The startResumableSession function was requiring a worktree path,
which prevented resuming sessions for tasks that use the main project
directory. Now it uses getWorkdir() which falls back to the project
directory when no worktree exists.

Also improved the file-based session lookup fallback to use getWorkdir()
instead of only checking WorktreePath, ensuring compatibility with both
worktree-based and non-worktree tasks.
