Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR prevents cross-process task-history index clobbering by serializing rebuilds and using on-disk task records; the remaining merge-readiness risk is limited to test helpers that may admit partial records and teardown errors that can obscure the primary failure, so merge is reasonable with owner follow-up.

Thank you @edelauna for this PR. In my honest opinion, this is taking the wrong route! Firstly, It pretends to "close" the original issue, while it only addresses the surface of the general design flaw laid out in the original issue. But maybe more importantly, it just shifts the problem of concurrency away from the global If I have understood the solution correctly, it does:
While in theory, the tasks' history_item.json is written atomically, there is a fraction window, where the file does NOT exist during write (1. rename existing->backckup, 2. rename new->existing, 3. delete backup). In such a case the whole process may fail or the task at hand being ignored (I have not totally traced through the exception handling). While this is recoverable, as the process which is just updating that history file will also eventually update the global index and the item will be re-inserted, it still is a potential point for future failures. But also, I'm not sure if a directory scan of ALL files/dirs in tasks directory, the reading and parsing of ALL history_item.jsons it the right approach. Possible alternative: if we do a re-read of ALL tasks during every update (with 5 second window of gathering local changes), would it not be much more efficient to simply drop the global index altogether and scan the directories the few times we really need to read it (namely when displaying history index in ui)? That is not happening as often as every 5 seconds with working tasks. These are my two cents. But I do hope we find a better solution than the one suggested here. Nonetheless, thanks again for taking the time to resolve this issue! |

Closes #1231
Description
Separate extension hosts can share the same task-history storage while maintaining independent, partial in-memory caches. Each host previously built and rewrote the shared
tasks/_index.jsonfrom its own cache. Even though each replacement was atomic, a host could write a stale snapshot after another host and silently drop the other host's task entries.This change:
tasks/_history.lockto serialize index rebuilds across extension hosts;_index.jsonas a rebuildable cache and, while holding that lock, reconstructs it from the authoritative per-taskhistory_item.jsonfiles on disk instead of from a potentially stale in-memory snapshot;The scope is intentionally limited to cross-task index clobbering. Concurrent mutation of the same task's
history_item.jsonremains last-writer-wins and is outside this fix.Test Procedure
