Description

This PR fixes an issue where checkpoints cannot be initialized in large repositories due to a hardcoded 15-second timeout limit.

Problem

When checkpointing is enabled for a task, the initialization process has a 15-second timeout. For large repositories, the checkpoint initialization (particularly initShadowGit()) can take longer than 15 seconds, causing checkpoints to be disabled even though the task hasn't started using editing tools yet.

Solution

  • Added an isInitialCall parameter to the getCheckpointService() function
  • When isInitialCall is true, no timeout is applied, allowing large repositories to complete initialization
  • Modified initiateTaskLoop() to pass isInitialCall: true for the initial checkpoint service call
  • Subsequent calls to getCheckpointService() maintain the 15-second timeout for backward compatibility

Changes

  • src/core/checkpoints/index.ts: Added isInitialCall parameter and conditional timeout logic
  • src/core/task/Task.ts: Pass isInitialCall: true when initiating the task loop
  • src/core/checkpoints/tests/checkpoint.test.ts: Added tests to verify the new behavior

Testing

  • ✅ All existing tests pass
  • ✅ Added new tests to verify timeout behavior with and without isInitialCall flag
  • ✅ Linting and type checking pass

Impact

This change ensures that users with large repositories can successfully use the checkpoint feature without being affected by initialization timeouts.

Fixes #7843


Important

Adds isInitialCall parameter to getCheckpointService() to remove timeout for initial checkpoint initialization in large repositories.

  • Behavior:
    • Adds isInitialCall parameter to getCheckpointService() in index.ts to bypass timeout for initial calls.
    • Updates initiateTaskLoop() in Task.ts to use isInitialCall: true for initial checkpoint service call.
    • Maintains 15-second timeout for subsequent calls to getCheckpointService().
  • Testing:
    • Adds tests in checkpoint.test.ts to verify behavior with and without isInitialCall flag.
  • Misc:

I wrote this code and now I'm reviewing it. The recursion depth is concerning.

Is this intentional? When isInitialCall is true and an error occurs, we're re-throwing it which could cause the entire task initialization to fail. Should we consider logging the error and gracefully disabling checkpoints instead?

} catch (err) {
// Only disable checkpoints if this is not the initial call and we hit a timeout
if (!isInitialCall) {

The error handling here seems incomplete. For initial calls that fail (not just timeout), we're not doing any logging or cleanup before re-throwing. Could we improve this to be more consistent with the non-initial call handling?

This comment says "continue waiting or handle the error differently" but we're actually just throwing the error. Should we update the comment to reflect what's actually happening, or implement the "continue waiting" logic?

// Should create and return the service
expect(service).toBe(mockCheckpointService)
expect(mockTask.checkpointService).toBe(mockCheckpointService)
})

Could we add a test case for when isInitialCall=true and the initialization actually times out or fails? This would help ensure the error handling works as expected for the initial call scenario.
