Tip

PR walkthrough: Open the visual walkthrough

Adds an external-process regression that protects plugin task-priority persistence through the Host, service, and SQLite boundaries. The packaged fixture now declares the Host read capability required for immediate readback.

Important Changes

  • Builds an SDK fixture as a real plugin subprocess and verifies high, default, update, and invalid priority behavior against persisted task data.
  • Pins the Create and optional Update protobuf priority field encodings.

Validation

  • go test -race -run 'TestPluginHost_ExternalProcessPersistsPriorityThroughTaskService|TestPluginPriorityWirePayload' -v ./internal/plugins
  • go test ./cmd/plugin-fixture ./internal/plugins
  • go vet ./cmd/plugin-fixture ./internal/plugins
  • go build ./cmd/plugin-fixture

Checklist

  • If I do not have repository write access and this is a large architectural change, I discussed the direction in a linked issue before opening this PR.
  • This PR contains one logical change; unrelated work is split into separate PRs.
  • I have performed a self-review of my code.
  • I have manually tested my changes and they work as expected.
  • My changes have tests that cover the new functionality and edge cases.
  • If my change touches UI files (apps/web/), I have added or updated Playwright e2e tests in apps/web/e2e/ and verified them with make test-e2e.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Plugin integrations can now set, read, and update task priorities.
    • The task API supports priority values when creating and updating tasks.
    • A new priority webhook demonstrates and exposes priority operations for plugin-based workflows.
  • Improvements

    • Invalid task priority values are validated during creation and updates, with clear errors returned.
    • Existing webhook behavior remains available alongside the new priority functionality.

Walkthrough

The plugin fixture now exposes a priority webhook. It exercises task priority creation, reads, updates, validation errors, protobuf wire fields, and persistence through an external plugin process.

Changes

Plugin task priority flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Webhook contract and dispatch
apps/backend/cmd/plugin-fixture/fixture-package/manifest.yaml, apps/backend/cmd/plugin-fixture/fixture_package_test.go, apps/backend/cmd/plugin-fixture/plugin.go
The fixture adds task read access and a priority webhook. Dispatch invokes the priority probe while preserving existing webhook behavior.
Priority probe implementation
apps/backend/cmd/plugin-fixture/plugin.go
The probe creates and reads high and default priority tasks, updates priority, checks invalid values, and returns JSON results.
External-process persistence validation
apps/backend/internal/plugins/host_write_external_process_test.go
The integration test builds and runs the external fixture with a SQLite-backed task service. It verifies protobuf field tags, persisted priorities, readbacks, and validation errors.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c2b16

The new plugin priority persistence coverage is not merge-ready: its recorder expectations omit the invalid requests and cause the test to fail, while invalid-priority operations are not verified to leave persisted task data unchanged.

Findings

Suggestion (recommended, doesn't block)

  1. Redundant command.Dir = "."apps/backend/internal/plugins/host_write_external_process_test.go:154-155

    • Issue: exec.Command inherits the current working directory by default. command.Dir = "." resolves to the package directory (already the default) and adds noise without clarifying intent.
    • Fix: Remove the line, or make it explicit: command.Dir = filepath.Join("..", "..", "cmd", "plugin-fixture") and then pass "." as the package argument instead of the relative path.
  2. Raw wire-format byte literals lack a derivation commentapps/backend/internal/plugins/host_write_external_process_test.go:85-88

    • Issue: 0x5a and 0x32 are correct but opaque. A reader unfamiliar with protobuf wire encoding can't verify them without re-deriving (11 << 3) | 2 = 0x5a and (6 << 3) | 2 = 0x32 from the proto definition.
    • Fix: Add a single-line comment above each assertion, e.g.:
      // field 11, wire type 2 (length-delimited): (11 << 3) | 2 = 0x5a
      require.True(t, bytes.Contains(createPayload, []byte{0x5a, 0x04, 'h', 'i', 'g', 'h'}))
      // field 6, wire type 2 (length-delimited): (6 << 3) | 2 = 0x32
      require.True(t, bytes.Contains(updatePayload, []byte{0x32, 0x04, 'h', 'i', 'g', 'h'}))

What the review verified

Architecture and design: The externalProcessTaskWriter bypasses in.WorkspaceID/in.WorkflowID and substitutes the test-seeded workspace/workflow IDs — exactly matching the comment that it is "intentionally shaped like backendapp's adapter." The hardcoded "ws-probe"/"wf-probe" in priorityProbe() are unreachable in this test path and harmless. The clean separation of read (taskData) and write (taskWriter) interfaces in the pluginHost is preserved.

Manifest change (+4/-0): Adding api_read: ["tasks"] is correct and necessary — priorityProbe reads tasks back through host.Tasks().Get(), which gates on api_read:tasks. Without this declaration, any real runtime deployment of this fixture would return PermissionDenied on the readback. The priority webhook entry (3 lines + blank) completes the 4-line diff.

Wire payload test (TestPluginPriorityWirePayload): Field numbers verified against plugin.protoCreateTaskRequest.priority is field 11 (0x5a) and UpdateTaskRequest.priority is optional field 6 (0x32). Encoding is correct. bytes.Contains is the right choice since protobuf doesn't guarantee field order.

External process test (TestPluginHost_ExternalProcessPersistsPriorityThroughTaskService): The test correctly registers cleanups in the right LIFO order — runtime.StopAll (registered second → runs first) then closeDB (registered first → runs last), so the plugin subprocess is stopped before the database is closed. The require.Eventually polling condition (callErr == nil && body != "no host") handles the asynchronous host-injection window correctly. If an error body (non-"no host") appears, the loop exits and the require.Equalf(int32(200), ...) assertion catches it immediately.

Priority assertion []string{"high", ""} at line 147: Correct. The invalid-priority create path is rejected in host_write.go:181-183 before the writer is ever called, so only the two successful creates contribute to createPriorities.

Complexity limits: All functions are within the 80-line Go limit. host_write_external_process_test.go at 182 lines is well under the 800-effective-line test file limit.

fixture_package_test.go updated assertions: The new assertions for m.Capabilities.APIRead, the webhook count (2→3), and the priority webhook's authenticated access mode all align with the manifest diff.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds an external-plugin-process regression test for task-priority propagation across the SDK wire contract, plugin Host, task service, and SQLite persistence.

  • Extends the packaged fixture with task-read permission and an authenticated priority probe.
  • Covers explicit, default, updated, and invalid task priorities.
  • Pins the protobuf field encodings used for create and update priority values.
  • No actionable correctness, security, or repository-rule issues were identified.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; the added regression coverage follows the intended plugin Host and task-service contracts.

No actionable failures remain: capabilities match the fixture’s reads and writes, invalid priorities are rejected before persistence, startup polling avoids repeating mutations during normal Host injection, and the production adapter mappings remain independently covered.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
apps/backend/cmd/plugin-fixture/fixture-package/manifest.yaml Grants the fixture task-read access and declares the authenticated priority regression webhook.
apps/backend/cmd/plugin-fixture/fixture_package_test.go Updates manifest assertions for the added capability and webhook.
apps/backend/cmd/plugin-fixture/plugin.go Implements the fixture-only priority probe with persisted readback and invalid-value checks.
apps/backend/internal/plugins/host_write_external_process_test.go Builds and invokes a real plugin subprocess while testing protobuf encoding and task-priority persistence through the service and SQLite boundaries.

the rejected create path does not leave a persisted task, using the existing
task lookup or listing mechanism and assertion style.

- Around line 147-148: Update the recorder assertions in the external process
writer test to reflect that invalid requests also append their priority before
task-service calls: expect the invalid priority entries alongside the valid ones
for both create and update operations, while preserving the existing assertion
structure.

Maintainer CI rerun needed for PR #3468 at 973a9d6d367b2c9a50c6ecd0557d70b23817d8b6: run https://github.com/kdlbs/kandev/actions/runs/34197413540, failing job https://github.com/kdlbs/kandev/actions/runs/34197413540/job/101969065371. The CI Fixup owner classified the failure as the shared SSH fixture SocketError (27 passed, 3 retried), outside this branch's source changes. Its scoped rerun request was denied because the task credential lacks repository admin rights. Please rerun the failed job with maintainer permissions; the Coordinator will verify the resulting exact-head checks. This requests CI recovery only.
