📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds persistent checklist items to project tasks. It supports creation, listing, status updates, retrieval, and conditional archiving. Project routes expose authenticated creation and listing. Tests cover validation, authorization, archive visibility, and persistence.

Changes

Checklist item management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checklist persistence and lifecycle
tinyagentos/projects/ids.py, tinyagentos/projects/task_store.py, tests/projects/test_task_store.py
The store adds checklist-item persistence, status fields, CRUD methods, archive validation, lifecycle events, and boolean row conversion. Tests cover creation, listing, archive prerequisites, successful archiving, and persistence.
Project task checklist routes
tinyagentos/routes/projects.py, tests/test_routes_task_checklist.py
Authenticated routes create and list checklist items after validating project and task membership. Tests cover request validation, authorization, cross-project isolation, and archived-item filtering.
Checklist API documentation
changelog.d/2415-task-checklist-items.md, docs/agent-coordination.md
Documentation describes checklist routes, authorization, activity logging, archive prerequisites, archived-item filtering, and the current middleware allowlist behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4bae8

Checklist updates can be missed by project subscribers, and the documented registry-agent access path currently fails with a 401 response. The PR is not merge-ready until these routing and access-contract issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

WARNING: text: str has no input validation — empty strings and arbitrarily long text are accepted

FastAPI's bare str type imposes no length or non-empty constraint. A client can POST text="" to create a meaningless checklist item, or send an arbitrarily large payload. The DB column is TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '', so both pass through silently.

Consider adding Field(min_length=1, max_length=...) to enforce a sensible minimum and upper bound.

SUGGESTION: reported_by parameter is accepted but never used

archive_checklist_item(self, item_id: str, reported_by: str) declares reported_by and the tests pass it, but the value is never stored, logged, or included in the _publish event payload. Callers have no way to attribute the archive action to a specific reporter through the OS record.

Either remove the parameter and raise an explicit error, or include it in the audit/activity log and the published event.

nemotron-super review

VERDICT: Blocking issues found.

  • tinyagentos/projects/task_store.py:83: Misplaced triple quotes causing syntax error

Automated first-pass review by the nemotron-super lane. The lead still reviews before merge.

jaylfc added 2 commits August 16, 2026 08:55
Both doc-gate layers fired correctly here: two new routes on
tinyagentos/routes/projects.py, and a user-visible feature.

The doc entry records the scope split (project_tasks_create to author,
project_tasks to read), the existence-hiding 404 when the task is not in the
named project, and the activity-feed entry.

It also records that the create route takes text as a REQUIRED QUERY parameter
and accepts no request body, which is inconsistent with
POST /api/projects/{project_id}/tasks beside it. Confirmed against the
generated OpenAPI schema rather than inferred from the signature. Documented as
it behaves; raised separately on the PR as worth changing before this ships,
since the shape is far cheaper to fix now than after release.

doc-gate cleared (both layers), and one API-shape issue worth fixing before this ships

Both layers fired correctly on this PR, so both got real content rather than a trailer: a doc entry for the two new routes, and changelog.d/2415-task-checklist-items.md. Gate green after, red before.

The thing I would change before merge

POST .../checklist-items takes text as a required QUERY parameter and accepts no request body. Proven against the generated OpenAPI schema for this branch, not inferred from the signature:

POST params:      [('project_id','path',True), ('task_id','path',True), ('text','query',True)]
POST requestBody: NONE
GET  params:      [('project_id','path',True), ('task_id','path',True), ('include_archived','query',False)]

The cause is text: str in the handler signature with no Body(...), which FastAPI reads as a query parameter.

Why it matters: POST /api/projects/{project_id}/tasks in the same module takes a Pydantic body (CreateTaskIn). So a client that follows the convention sitting 200 lines away and sends {"text": "..."} as JSON gets a 422 complaining about a missing query parameter, which reads like a validation bug rather than a shape mismatch. Agents are the main caller here and they will pattern-match off the neighbouring route.

It works as written, so this is not a correctness red. I am raising it because it is a public API shape: changing it after release is a breaking change, and right now it costs one CreateChecklistItemIn model. Recommend a body model for consistency with create_task.

I have documented it as it currently behaves, including the 422 trap, so the doc is accurate either way. If you change the shape, that doc paragraph needs updating in the same PR.

Verified, not assumed

  • Scope split is real: project_tasks_create to author, default project_tasks to read (_authorize_task_actor(..., scope=...) at projects.py:541). The docstring's reasoning is sound and I have recorded it: project_tasks is tested as read plus lifecycle plus comments, so authoring must not ride on it.
  • 404 when the task is not in the named project, so a cross-project task id is existence-hiding.
  • checklist.item.created is logged to the project activity feed with actor, task id, item id and text.

…outes with real tests

Three things, all found by writing the route-level tests this PR was missing.
It shipped store-level tests only, so the route surface was unverified.

1. REQUEST SHAPE. create_checklist_item took `text: str` with no Body(...),
   which FastAPI reads as a QUERY parameter, so the route was
   POST .../checklist-items?text=... while POST /api/projects/{id}/tasks in the
   same module takes a JSON body. Now a CreateChecklistItemIn model, confirmed
   against the generated OpenAPI schema: text moved out of parameters and
   requestBody is present. Safe to change because nothing calls the route yet:
   no frontend caller and no route tests existed.

2. THE AGENT CAPABILITY DOES NOT WORK. Both handlers call
   _authorize_task_actor(..., scope="project_tasks_create") and their docstrings
   advertise agent access, but auth_middleware.py has no checklist pattern in
   its Bearer allowlist, and that allowlist is exact. A registry JWT is refused
   401 before any scope check, so that branch is unreachable. Proven with a
   control: one fixture, one token, allowlisted GET .../tasks -> 200 while
   GET .../checklist-items -> 401. Recorded as two STRICT xfails so they fail
   loudly if the allowlist is fixed without updating the docs. NOT fixing the
   allowlist here: widening what agent tokens reach is a security change that
   deserves its own reviewed diff, not a drive-by in a feature PR.

3. MY OWN DOC ENTRY WAS WRONG. The section I added earlier in this PR described
   the scope split as working. Corrected to state the routes are session-only
   today, with the control result and the reason.

Tests: 6 pass, 2 strict xfail. Also fixed the archive assertion, which needed
verified + reported set before archive_checklist_item will act.

Do not merge on my earlier comment. The agent capability in this PR does not work, and I proved it.

I said earlier that the query-parameter shape was "not a correctness red". That still holds for the shape. But writing the route-level tests this PR was missing turned up something that is a red, and it also means the doc entry I added earlier in this PR was wrong. All three are fixed in the commit above.

1. No agent token can reach these routes

Both handlers call _authorize_task_actor(..., scope="project_tasks_create") and their docstrings say:

Authorized as session owner/admin or an agent holding project_tasks_create on this project.

But tinyagentos/auth_middleware.py has no checklist pattern in its Bearer allowlist:

grep -n "checklist" tinyagentos/auth_middleware.py   ->  no matches

That allowlist is exact, so a registry JWT is refused 401 Authentication required before any scope check runs. The agent-authorization branch in both handlers is unreachable code, and the docstrings advertise a capability that does not exist.

Proven with a control rather than inferred. One fixture, one token, two requests:

ALLOWLISTED  GET /api/projects/{pid}/tasks              -> 200
NOT LISTED   GET .../tasks/{tid}/checklist-items        -> 401 {"error":"Authentication required"}

The 200 is the important half: it proves the fixture and token are sound, so the 401 is the allowlist and not my test setup.

This matters for the card, not just for tidiness. The card is "OS-owned objective CHECKLIST (agent cannot silently drop items)". An agent that cannot read or tick the checklist cannot be held to it, so as shipped the feature cannot do the job it was carded for.

I have NOT fixed the allowlist here. Widening what agent tokens reach is a security change and deserves its own reviewed diff with the agent-api doc-gate rule firing on it, not a drive-by inside a feature PR. Recorded instead as two strict=True xfails in tests/test_routes_task_checklist.py, so the moment the patterns are added they turn XPASS and fail, forcing the docs to be corrected with them.

Note the third test in that class, test_project_tasks_alone_may_NOT_author, passes today for the wrong reason: it gets 401 from the allowlist, not 403 from the scope check. I have said so in its docstring rather than letting it look like proof of the scope split.

2. Request shape: fixed, and it was free

text: str with no Body(...) made it a query parameter. Now CreateChecklistItemIn, confirmed against the generated OpenAPI schema:

before:  POST params [project_id path, task_id path, text QUERY]   requestBody NONE
after:   POST params [project_id path, task_id path]               requestBody YES

Free to change because nothing calls it yet — no frontend caller, and no route tests existed. That is exactly why it was worth doing now rather than after release.

3. The route tests this PR was missing

tests/test_routes_task_checklist.py: request shape, 422 on missing text, round-trip through the list, cross-project existence-hiding 404 on both verbs, and archive filtering. 6 pass, 2 strict xfail. The archive assertion also needed verified and reported set first, since archive_checklist_item refuses otherwise.

The store-level tests could not have caught any of this. The auth, the 404 and the request shape only exist at the route.

### Added
- Tasks gain an OS-owned checklist: `POST` and `GET /api/projects/{project_id}/tasks/{task_id}/checklist-items` let an owner or a project-bound agent add and read checklist items, so an objective's steps are tracked by the OS instead of living in an agent's head where they can be silently dropped. Creating an item is recorded in the project activity feed, and archived items are hidden unless `include_archived=true` (#2415).

Correct the documented authorization behavior.

At Line 2, the changelog says that a project-bound agent can create and read checklist items. The current middleware rejects registry JWTs with 401 before the handlers run, as documented in docs/agent-coordination.md Lines 729-739. State that these routes are session owner/admin only today, and describe agent access as deferred until the Bearer allowlist changes.

Proposed wording
-... let an owner or a project-bound agent add and read checklist items, ...
+... let a session owner or admin add and read checklist items. Agent-token access remains unavailable until the Bearer allowlist includes these routes, ...

- Tasks gain an OS-owned checklist: `POST` and `GET /api/projects/{project_id}/tasks/{task_id}/checklist-items` let an owner or a project-bound agent add and read checklist items, so an objective's steps are tracked by the OS instead of living in an agent's head where they can be silently dropped. Creating an item is recorded in the project activity feed, and archived items are hidden unless `include_archived=true` (#2415).

Comment on lines +730 to +735
The handlers call `_authorize_task_actor(..., scope="project_tasks_create")` and
their docstrings advertise agent access, but `tinyagentos/auth_middleware.py`
carries **no checklist pattern** in its Bearer allowlist, and that allowlist is
exact. A registry JWT is therefore refused `401 Authentication required` before
any scope check runs, so the agent-authorization branch in both handlers is
currently unreachable.

Document the create and list scopes separately.

At Lines 730-735, the text implies that both handlers use scope="project_tasks_create". POST uses that scope, but GET calls _authorize_task_actor without a scope in tinyagentos/routes/projects.py Lines 1285-1308. If the allowlist is updated later, this wording would incorrectly imply that listing requires the create scope. Rewrite this section to distinguish the two route behaviors.

[WARNING]: text: str in CreateChecklistItemIn has no input validation

The model accepts empty strings and arbitrarily long text without constraints. A client can POST {"text": ""} to create a meaningless checklist item, or send an arbitrarily large payload. Consider adding Field(min_length=1, max_length=...) to enforce a sensible minimum and upper bound.

Converted to DRAFT deliberately. CI going green here is misleading.

All checks pass on this branch, and it is still not mergeable, because the blocker is a review finding rather than a red check: no agent token can reach these routes, while both handlers implement and both docstrings advertise project_tasks_create agent access. Evidence and the control are in the comment above.

A green rollup on this PR describes CI, not the review surface. I have moved it to draft rather than trusting a comment to be read, because a comment does not survive a skim and a draft cannot be merged by accident.

To take it out of draft, one of these has to happen:

  1. Add the two patterns to the Bearer allowlist in tinyagentos/auth_middleware.py:

    ("POST", re.compile(rf"^/api/projects/{_SEG}/tasks/{_SEG}/checklist-items$")),
    ("GET",  re.compile(rf"^/api/projects/{_SEG}/tasks/{_SEG}/checklist-items$")),
    

    That is a security change: it widens what an agent registry JWT reaches, and it should fire the agent-api doc-gate rule and be reviewed as its own diff. The two strict=True xfails in tests/test_routes_task_checklist.py turn XPASS the moment it lands, which will fail the suite and force the doc paragraph to be corrected with it. That is intentional.

  2. Or decide the checklist is owner-only for now, in which case the honest change is to remove the unreachable agent branch and the docstring claims, so the code stops advertising something it cannot do.

My read is option 1, because the card is "agent cannot silently drop items" and an agent that cannot read or tick the checklist cannot be held to the list. But widening agent auth reach is jaylfc's call, not mine to slip into a feature PR.

Everything else on this branch is done and green: the JSON body shape, the route tests, and a doc entry that now states the session-only reality instead of the capability I had wrongly documented.

Ruling on the allowlist question: option (a), confirmed by the project owner directly. The two allowlist patterns are landing as their own security-reviewed diff in PR #2430 (red-proven middleware tests, both directions). Once #2430 merges, this PR's agent branch becomes reachable as its docstrings advertise and it can come out of draft.

Ruling (a) executed: the agent Bearer allowlist for the checklist-items list/create routes is merged to dev via PR #2430 (with the agent-api doc section the doc-gate required). This PR's handlers now meet a middleware that admits the registry JWT to the project_tasks_create scope check instead of refusing 401 at the gate. Un-drafting per the confirmed ruling. Note: branch is currently CONFLICTING with dev and will need a rebase (fleet flow: supersede card, not a push to this branch).

Carry-forward carded as tsk-gzwv3x — #2415 is CONFLICTING with dev in docs/agent-coordination.md only (dev gained the #2430 allowlist section after this branch was cut; proven by git merge-tree, exit 1). Per fleet flow the supersede PR squash-carries this branch's commits from a fresh dev cut; nothing is lost. The resolution must keep BOTH doc sections — allowlist and checklist.

The checklist-items handlers (PR jaylfc#2415) authorize agents via the
project_tasks_create scope, but the middleware's exact (method, regex)
Bearer allowlist had no checklist pattern, so a registry JWT was refused
401 before any scope check ran. Add GET/POST
/api/projects/{pid}/tasks/{tid}/checklist-items to _AGENT_TASK_ROUTES,
with predicate + dispatch tests for both halves (allowed pair passes the
middleware gate; DELETE and the /checklist-items/{id} sibling stay 401).

Inert until the checklist routes merge.

VERDICT: Blocking issue found.

  • tinyagentos/projects/task_store.py:771: archive_checklist_item method will raise TypeError when item_id does not exist (item is None) before checking verification status.

Automated first-pass review by the nemotron-super lane. The lead still reviews before merge.

Closing as superseded, not abandoned.

The checklist feature is carried in full by #2480 (exec/tsk-uby6uh), which touches the same files this branch does (tinyagentos/projects/ids.py, tinyagentos/projects/task_store.py, tinyagentos/routes/projects.py, tests/test_routes_task_checklist.py, tests/projects/test_task_store.py) and carries the tsk-gzwv3x-task-checklist-items.md fragment. Verified the feature is NOT yet in dev (no checklist symbol in tinyagentos/projects/task_store.py at origin/dev), so nothing is lost by closing here and nothing is duplicated by keeping #2480.

State at close: last commit 4bae8d5 (2026-08-16 09:23Z), CONFLICTING, 155 commits behind dev. Per the fleet rule that superseded work gets re-cut rather than lead-rebased, this branch is not being repaired.

Card tsk-w2do7j is closed as a duplicate of tsk-uby6uh so no lane re-implements the checklist a third time in parallel with #2480.

…ect GET scope comment, restore allowlist guardrail, record the feature, fix Meshtastic typo

- CHANGELOG.md: the checklist allowlist entry said 'Inert until #2415
  merge' — the routes merged in #2674, and the handler scope is
  project_tasks_create on POST only; GET takes the default project_tasks.
- auth_middleware.py: the allowlist comment claimed project_tasks_create
  gates both methods; the handlers split POST/GET (projects.py pins it).
- docs/agent-coordination.md: restore the guardrail line dropped by the
  #2674 doc rebuild — the allowlist must not widen past list + create.
- changelog.d/tsk-y44sls-checklist-carry.md: the fragment recorded only
  the two defect fixes; add the Added entry for the feature itself.
- meshtastic_connector.py: Meshtatic -> Meshtastic.
