Description

This PR fixes the issue where checkpoints were not appearing in the UI, preventing users from restoring their code when needed.

Problem

  • Checkpoints were being created but suppressed in the UI
  • Users could not see the checkpoint list below API requests
  • Users were unable to restore their code when AI made mistakes

Solution

Changed the suppressMessage flag from true to false when creating checkpoints for user messages. This ensures checkpoints are visible in the UI while maintaining all checkpoint functionality.

Changes

  • Modified src/core/task/Task.ts line 897 to not suppress checkpoint messages
  • Updated comment to reflect the new behavior

Testing

  • ✅ All checkpoint tests pass (checkpoint.test.ts)
  • ✅ All UI tests pass (CheckpointRestoreDialog.spec.tsx)
  • ✅ Linting passes
  • ✅ Type checking passes

Related Issue

Fixes #7786

Screenshots

The checkpoint list will now be visible below API requests as expected.

Review Notes

This is a minimal change that only affects the visibility of checkpoint messages in the UI. The underlying checkpoint functionality remains unchanged.


Important

Fixes checkpoint visibility in UI by setting suppressMessage to false in Task.ts, allowing users to see and restore checkpoints.

  • Behavior:
    • Fixes checkpoint visibility in UI by setting suppressMessage to false in handleWebviewAskResponse() in Task.ts.
    • Allows users to see and restore checkpoints after API requests.
  • Testing:
    • All checkpoint tests pass (checkpoint.test.ts).
    • All UI tests pass (CheckpointRestoreDialog.spec.tsx).
    • Linting and type checking pass.

Reviewing my own code is like debugging in a mirror - everything looks backwards but the bug is still mine.

// Create a checkpoint whenever the user sends a message.
// Use allowEmpty=true to ensure a checkpoint is recorded even if there are no file changes.
// Suppress the checkpoint_saved chat row for this particular checkpoint to keep the timeline clean.
// Do not suppress the checkpoint_saved chat row so users can see and restore checkpoints.

Good catch on updating the comment to match the new behavior. This makes the intent clear for future maintainers.

// Do not suppress the checkpoint_saved chat row so users can see and restore checkpoints.
if (askResponse === "messageResponse") {
void this.checkpointSave(false, true)
void this.checkpointSave(false, false)

This is the correct fix. Changing from true to false ensures checkpoint messages are visible in the UI, which directly addresses the issue reported in #7786.

However, would it be worth adding a test case specifically for this behavior? Something that verifies checkpointSave is called with suppressMessage=false when handling messageResponse. This would help prevent regression in the future.
