## Summary by CodeRabbit
- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved workflow continuation handling by centralizing
“active/continuation-eligible” state selection across executor,
hold/release logic, and in-process runtime.
- Persisted richer task column-transition metadata (including `irHash`)
to preserve workflow provenance.
- Ensured planning continuations exclude paused/missing/invalid tasks
and that task resolution failures surface instead of being ignored.
- Corrected fresh-worktree step execution ordering to return expected
`baselineSha`/`checkpointId` behavior.
- **New Features**
- Added and exposed `ACTIVE_WORKFLOW_WORK_ITEM_STATES` for consistent
work-item “active” semantics.
- Introduced a shared planning-continuation candidate selector to
standardize dispatchable planning work filtering.
- **Documentation**
- Clarified the small coding-ideas workflow preset omits verification
while preserving a continuous executable path.
- **Tests**
- Added coverage for planning continuation filtering and fresh-worktree
ordering behavior.

## Summary
The Coding (Ideas) workflow now behaves like the board it presents:
Ideas stays inert, Todo owns planning and plan review, In progress owns
implementation, and In review owns code review and merge. The restored
preset is intentionally limited to that five-stage path, while the
existing Coding workflow remains unchanged.
Workflow execution now suspends at Todo→In progress instead of running
the implementation node early. A durable, single-owner continuation
records the exact resume node and survives process restarts; the
scheduler remains the only component allowed to admit the task into WIP.
Disabled optional review groups traverse the same boundary without
invoking a reviewer, avoiding the prior stuck-task behavior.
Workflow validation also rejects capacity holds with no reachable WIP
destination, so deterministic lifecycle deadlocks fail at authoring time
rather than after a task is running.
Session-settled decisions carried from planning: columns are execution
invariants, scheduler-owned WIP admission is preserved, the existing
Coding (Ideas) preset is restored and simplified, and invalid release
topology is rejected (user-approved).
## Validation
- `pnpm lint`
- `pnpm verify:fast`
- `pnpm test:gate` (296 engine, 128 PostgreSQL core, and 63 CI-shape
tests)
- Focused workflow lifecycle tests (106 assertions)
- PostgreSQL regression coverage proves atomic continuation replacement
and database rejection of a second active owner

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Added durable, resumable workflow execution across capacity boundaries
(including explicit suspend/resume at the correct node).
* Introduced Todo “plan review” workflow continuations and automated
planning/capacity draining.
* Restored Coding (Ideas) as a selectable built-in and updated its lane
placement; improved optional-step group enablement support.
* **Bug Fixes**
* User moves back to Todo now cancels active workflow continuations.
* Rejected workflow boundary transitions now surface as errors (instead
of silently continuing).
* Workflows with undriveable capacity-hold configurations are now
rejected.
* **Tests / Data**
* Expanded coverage for workflow suspension, continuations, and
continuation replacement; updated database schema to persist
continuation metadata and enforce single active continuation.

## Summary
Chat messages, chat room messages, and agent/user mailbox sends could
crash mid-conversation when the persisted content or metadata contained
a raw U+0000 (NUL) byte — e.g. Windows CLI diagnostic/tool output piped
directly into a message body. PostgreSQL text/jsonb columns reject NUL
outright (`unsupported Unicode escape sequence` / `\u0000 cannot be
converted to text`), which surfaced as an uncaught `PostgresError` that
aborted the write and killed the conversation turn.
A NUL-byte sanitizer already existed for the one-time SQLite →
PostgreSQL first-boot migration (`sqlite-migrator.ts`'s
`stripNulChars`/`deepStripNulChars`), but it was never wired into the
**live** write paths — only into that one-shot migration.
## What changed
- Extracted `stripNulChars`/`deepStripNulChars` into a shared
`packages/core/src/postgres/nul-sanitize.ts` module
(`sqlite-migrator.ts` now imports from it instead of defining its own
copy).
- Wired sanitization into the three live write paths that persist
free-form content/metadata:
- `async-chat-store.ts`: `addChatMessage`, `addChatRoomMessage`
- `async-message-store.ts`: `sendMessage`
- Each of these functions now also **returns the sanitized value** —
previously they returned the original, unsanitized input object even
though the sanitized value is what was actually persisted to the
database, which was a latent inconsistency I found while adding test
coverage.
## Bonus fix: embedded-Postgres startup race
While rebuilding and testing this locally via `pnpm smoke:boot`, I hit a
separate, pre-existing, reproducible race: a process joining an existing
embedded-Postgres data dir (via `postmaster.pid`, per the existing
`FNXC:PostgresStartupRace 2026-07-15-20:45` comment in
`embedded-lifecycle.ts`) can race the true owner's TCP listener bind and
get `ECONNREFUSED` on its very first connection attempt.
`bootSchemaBackendOnce` turned this into a hard `startup-factory: failed
to initialize PostgreSQL schema backend` failure with no retry.
I verified this is **not** caused by my NUL-sanitize change — it
reproduces identically on unmodified `main` (confirmed via `git stash`).
Added `JoinedInstanceUnreachableError` and one retry (mirroring the
existing `NonUtf8EmbeddedClusterError` one-retry pattern already in the
same file) instead of failing the whole boot outright.
## Tests
- New unit tests for the shared sanitizer:
`packages/core/src/__tests__/nul-sanitize.test.ts` (10 tests, including
a regression test reproducing the exact production failure signature).
- New PostgreSQL integration test coverage in the existing `.pg.test.ts`
suites, reproducing the exact production failure payload for both
`addChatMessage` and `sendMessage` and asserting both the in-memory
return value and the re-read-from-database value are NUL-free.
- Verified end-to-end against a real, disposable PostgreSQL 16 instance
(outside the vitest harness, since this dev machine lacked a local
`psql`/`pg_dump` client at the time) using a standalone script that
calls the actual patched functions with the production crash payload —
all checks passed before and after the return-value fix was added.
- `pnpm --filter @fusion/core typecheck` clean.
## Changeset
Included (`patch`, category `fix`).

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Bug Fixes**
* Prevented crashes and PostgreSQL insertion failures when chat or
mailbox content/JSON metadata contains raw NUL (`U+0000`) bytes.
* NUL characters are now stripped from message text and deeply from
nested metadata (including JSON object keys) before writes, and
sanitized values are reflected in returned messages.
* Improved embedded PostgreSQL startup reliability by retrying once on
transient joined-instance connection-refused failures.
* **Tests**
* Added unit and PostgreSQL regression coverage for NUL sanitization
across message/chat paths and for the embedded startup retry scenario.

Honor explicit workflow dependencies across completion writers, keep the progress cursor aligned with unfinished work, and fail closed when dependency metadata is malformed.
The pg-gate rebuilt a full schema baseline (~530ms of DDL) per isolated test
file. Fanned across forks against one Postgres, those baselines and their
CREATE DATABASE calls serialized and pushed per-file beforeAll past the 15s
hookTimeout nondeterministically on high-core machines. Complements the
committed fork cap: apply the baseline ONCE per run into a run-shared,
advisory-lock-coordinated golden template, then copy each test DB directly
from it (concurrent, connection-free copies are safe). Per-module templates
and their lifecycle hooks are retained for the concurrency regression test.
No timeout was changed. pg-gate: ~46s tests / ~17s wall, 6/6 clean runs
(was flaky/364s).
Fusion-Task-Id: automation-slow-test
The test:pg-gate suite runs only *.pg.test.ts files, each building/copying a
per-file schema-template database (heavy CREATE/DROP DATABASE DDL serialized by
the single shared Postgres). Worker count derived from CPU cores over-scales on
high-core machines (6 forks on a 28-core box), oversubscribing the one Postgres
until every beforeAll exceeds the 15s hookTimeout (23/23 hook timeouts). CI's
low-core runners stay near 2 forks and pass, so it only bites high-core locals.
Add a maxCap clamp to computeMaxWorkers and a dedicated vitest.pg.config.ts
(maxCap=4) for the pg-gate, right-sizing concurrency to the actual constraint (a
single shared Postgres) rather than raising the timeout (forbidden appeasement).
Low-core machines keep their smaller CPU-derived count via min(4, cpuCap).
Verified: full test:pg-gate now passes 23 files / 126 tests on a 28-core host.
Render the canonical plan as sanitized Markdown and keep responsive review actions reachable outside the scroll owner. Require Markdown-oriented planning output and preserve stable plan.md list round-trips.
Grant the restricted runtime role read-only access to its own SQLite cutover marker. Repair existing databases with migration 0030 and apply the same row-scoped policy when first-boot migration creates the ledger.
Generate a reviewable initial plan before clarification, persist generation purpose across refreshes, and surface concrete changes and acceptance criteria with focused refinement choices.
Unify same-agent duplicate intake so live duplicates remain visible and sticky tombstones block recreation on every backend.
- Route SQLite and backend creation through one duplicate-intake resolver
- Flag new live duplicates by default; archive only the new task when explicitly enabled
- Include archived soft-deletes in sticky tombstone matching and cover the backend-safe read
- Document the cross-backend duplicate and resurrection policy

## Summary
PostgreSQL runtime roles without `CREATE` permission on `public` no
longer trigger schema writes during migration-marker health reads, so
`permission denied for schema public` is not mislabeled as database
corruption. Once connectivity and task-ID integrity pass, an unavailable
migration marker is treated as advisory instead of making the whole
database unhealthy. Dashboard and notification guidance now describes a
PostgreSQL health failure accurately and renders actionable log and
recovery links in every supported locale.
## Validation
- 54 targeted tests passed across core, dashboard, engine, and i18n.
- Typechecks passed for all four affected packages.
- Scoped ESLint, strict changeset validation, and diff checks passed.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Bug Fixes**
* PostgreSQL health failures are now reported as degraded health checks
rather than database corruption.
* Migration-status lookup failures no longer incorrectly mark an
otherwise healthy database as unhealthy.
* Migration-state checks are now read-only and avoid creating or
modifying database structures.
* **UI & Localization**
* Updated database health banner messaging and recovery guidance across
supported languages.
* The banner now appears for broader PostgreSQL health failures and
links to storage documentation.

## Summary
Fusion can now ship on two release tracks. Betas are cut from `main` as
`vX.Y.Z-beta.N` (npm dist-tag `beta`, GitHub prerelease), stable
releases are promoted to a long-lived `release` branch and published to
`latest`, and users pick their track with the new `updateChannel` global
setting — via **Settings → General → Release channel** or `fn update
--channel <stable|beta>`. Previously everything was single-track: every
publish landed on `latest` and every update surface could only see it.
| | beta | stable |
|---|---|---|
| Cut from | `main` | `release` branch |
| Version | `X.Y.Z-beta.N` (changesets pre-mode) | `X.Y.Z` |
| npm dist-tag | `beta` | `latest` |
| GitHub Release | prerelease | latest |
| Homebrew tap / X draft | skipped | bumped / printed |
## How releasing works now
`pnpm release` prompts for the channel and **defaults to beta**, so
day-to-day releases are betas; stable is always an explicit choice.
Choosing stable from `main` triggers assisted promotion: the script
proposes the newest beta tag reachable from HEAD, verifies `release`
fast-forwards to it, then runs the whole stable release inside a
temporary git worktree on `release` — the primary checkout never leaves
`main`. Changesets pre-mode preserves changeset files across betas, so
the promoted stable release aggregates every changeset since the last
stable into one clean changelog entry.
## Design decisions
- **Every publish path names an explicit `--tag`.** A beta accidentally
landing on `latest` is the one unrecoverable failure of a dual-track
scheme, so nothing relies on npm's implicit default (`release.mjs`,
`version.yml`).
- **Beta channel resolves to semver-max of `latest` and `beta`**, so
beta users are offered each promoted stable once it overtakes their
prerelease. Switching beta → stable never downgrades; `fn update
--channel stable --force` is the explicit escape hatch.
- **One comparator instead of three.** CLI, dashboard, and desktop each
had their own `isRemoteNewer` that ignored prerelease identifiers —
`0.73.0-beta.2`, `-beta.3`, and `0.73.0` all compared equal, which
breaks the moment any beta exists. They now share full SemVer-precedence
helpers (`compareVersions`, `resolveUpdateTargetVersion`) from
`@fusion/core`.
- **Installs pin exact versions** (`@runfusion/fusion@0.73.0-beta.2`),
never a dist-tag, so an install can't silently land on the wrong track.
- **Desktop channels via electron-updater manifests.** Beta tags build
desktop artifacts with `publish.channel=beta` (emitting `beta*.yml`);
the app sets `channel`/`allowPrerelease` from the shared setting,
re-read on every manual check.
- **Update caches are channel-stamped** — a cache written for one
channel is never served to the other, so switching tracks takes effect
on the next check instead of after TTL.
## Test plan
- New unit coverage: SemVer precedence + channel resolution in
`@fusion/core` (30), channel behavior of the dashboard update check (28,
incl. 9 new) and `fn update` (16, incl. 8 new: persist `--channel`,
no-downgrade, `--force`, cache channel mismatch).
- `pnpm verify:fast` green (scoped typecheck, builds, CLI build, boot
smoke); desktop + settings-section suites green.
- `release.mjs` dry-run matrix exercised by hand: channel prompt
(default/override/invalid), branch preflights per channel,
assisted-promotion target selection, fast-forward guard against a
diverged `release` branch, and bootstrap when no `release` branch
exists.
- Not exercised live: an end-to-end publish (needs TTY authorization +
real npm publish). First real run is the first `pnpm release --channel
beta`.

## Summary
PostgreSQL-backed projects now record automatic TaskStore lifecycle
activity, including ordinary task creation and movement. Backend
initialization previously returned before registering the lifecycle
listeners, while features that called `recordActivity()` directly could
make the log appear only partially affected. The fix wires the
backend-agnostic listeners without changing SQLite initialization
behavior.
## Validation
- PostgreSQL activity parity test verifies all six listener surfaces and
persisted `task:created` and `task:moved` entries.
- `pnpm lint`
- `pnpm --filter @fusion/core typecheck`
- `pnpm check:changesets --strict`
- `pnpm verify:fast`

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Bug Fixes**
* Restored automatic task lifecycle entries in PostgreSQL activity logs
by ensuring task lifecycle activity listeners are wired during
PostgreSQL backend initialization.
* Activity logs now reliably include task creation and movement events
(with transition details) immediately after backend startup.
* **Tests**
* Added a PostgreSQL activity-log parity test to verify listeners are
connected and that activity logs reflect `task:created` and `task:moved`
as expected.

SQLite INTEGER is effectively int64, but the PostgreSQL baseline mapped
unbounded token/usage counters on `project.tasks` and
`project.chat_token_usage` to `integer` (int4). Real data contains
values > 2,147,483,647, causing the SQLite-to-PostgreSQL migration to
fail with `value ... is out of range for type integer`.
Changes:
- Change baseline DDL to `bigint` for the affected columns.
- Update Drizzle schema to `bigint({ mode: "number" })` to preserve JS
`number` semantics.
- Add forward migration `0024_bigint_counters.sql` for existing
clusters.
- Bump `SCHEMA_BASELINE_VERSION` to `0024`.
Fixes the int4 overflow observed during migration of large token/usage
counters.
<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Bug Fixes**
* Expanded token-usage and activity/lease counters to 64-bit integers to
prevent overflow on large workloads.
* Improved distributed task ID state/reservations to be isolated per
project and to merge/update conflicting entries more reliably.
* **Chores**
* Added an idempotent PostgreSQL migration for bigint counter support
and advanced schema baseline tracking.
* Updated dashboard build support by adding `html2canvas` type
definitions and the production dependency.
* **Tests**
* Updated schema-applier migration checks to include the new
bigint-counters baseline identity.
