Summary

  • Fix supervisor's inability to dispatch subtasks (e.g., t132.2, t168.2) from TODO.md
  • Change grep patterns from ^- \[ to ^[[:space:]]*- \[ in claim/unclaim/lookup functions

Problem

The supervisor's claim, unclaim, and task lookup functions used ^- \[ \] regex which only matched top-level tasks. Subtasks in TODO.md are indented:

- [ ] t132 Cross-Provider Model Routing  (top-level - matched)
  - [ ] t132.2 Provider/model registry   (subtask - NOT matched)

This caused all subtask dispatches to fail with "Task tXXX.X not found as open in TODO.md".

Fix

Changed 7 grep patterns to use ^[[:space:]]*- \[ which matches both:

  • - [ ] t132 ... (top-level, zero indent)
  • - [ ] t132.2 ... (subtask, 2+ space indent)

Functions Fixed

  • cmd_claim() — task existence check + line number lookup
  • cmd_unclaim() — line number lookup
  • check_task_claimed() — task line lookup
  • get_task_gh_issue() — task line lookup
  • Task description lookup in add command

Note: mark_task_complete() already handled indented subtasks correctly.

Testing

  • ShellCheck: no new violations
  • Bash syntax: verified OK

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Enhanced task management to correctly handle indented tasks in documentation files, improving accuracy of task identification, assignment, and claiming operations.
    • Improved task processing to robustly support varied indentation formats, ensuring consistent behavior regardless of how tasks or subtasks are formatted.

fix: supervisor claim/unclaim now matches indented subtasks in TODO.md
bfd096c 
The claim, unclaim, and task lookup functions used '^- \[ \]' which only
matched top-level tasks. Subtasks (indented with spaces like '  - [ ] t132.2')
were invisible to the supervisor, causing dispatch failures for all subtask IDs.

Changed grep patterns from '^- \[' to '^[[:space:]]*- \[' in:
- cmd_claim() task existence check and line number lookup
- cmd_unclaim() line number lookup
- check_task_claimed() task line lookup
- get_task_gh_issue() task line lookup
- add task description lookup from TODO.md

The completion function (mark_task_complete) already handled indented subtasks.

Walkthrough

Updated regex patterns in .agents/scripts/supervisor-helper.sh to handle leading whitespace in TODO.md entries. Added explicit whitespace character classes across five task-related functions to robustly match indented subtask entries.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
TODO.md Pattern Matching Refinement
.agents/scripts/supervisor-helper.sh		 Updated regex patterns in cmd_add, find_task_issue_number, get_task_assignee, cmd_claim, and cmd_unclaim to use ^[[:space:]]*- instead of ^- for matching indented TODO list items and subtasks.
