+# TaskChef workflows
+
+This developer and advanced-agent guide explains how the current implementation
+moves data through TaskChef. The [specification](spec.md) is normative; the
+[README](../README.md) owns user operation. The
+[FirstMate comparison](firstmate-taskchef-comparison.md) is non-normative
+research.
+
+## Implementation map
+
+| Surface | Responsibility |
+| --- | --- |
+| `skills/taskchef-delegate/SKILL.md` | Split, route, record-before-create, create, return. |
+| `skills/taskchef-bootstrap/SKILL.md` | Initialize current workspace and configure projects. |
+| `skills/taskchef-report/SKILL.md` | Select cached tasks and perform bounded live checks. |
+| `src/mcp.js` | Four structured lifecycle tools and MCP annotations. |
+| `src/delegation.js` | UUID marker, executor contract paragraphs, and creation-failure handling. |
+| `src/workspace.js` | Current schemas, validation, locking, atomic JSONL writes, linking, and result freshness. |
+| `src/cli.js` | Administration, inspection, diagnostics, and dashboard startup. |
+| `src/dashboard.js` | Validated snapshots, SSE fan-out, and bounded open actions. |
+
+The MCP process resolves `TASKCHEF_WORKSPACE` once and never accepts a model
+supplied path. The CLI resolves `--workspace`, then the environment, then the
+per-user default.
+
+## Normal delegation and self-linking
+
+The dispatcher uses native Codex project discovery for routing and MCP for
+TaskChef state. It never supplies executor identity.
+
+```mermaid

+    D->>M: prepare_dispatch()
+    M->>W: prepareDispatch()

+  E->>M: link_task(taskId, threadId)
+  M->>W: linkTask()
+  W->>W: Lock and replace null identity atomically
+  W-->>E: linked working task
+```
+
+Record-before-create makes native creation failure observable. Executor
+self-linking removes dispatcher-side polling, task search, title matching, and
+parent/child identity inference.
+
+## Result reporting
+
+The executor obtains the turn identity from an exact native read of its own
+linked task. `report_result` updates only the latest semantic snapshot.
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+  autonumber
+  participant E as Executor
+  participant C as Native Codex task API
+  participant M as TaskChef MCP
+  participant W as workspace.js
+  E->>E: Finish or reach semantic decision
+  E->>C: Exact read of linked executor
+  C-->>E: Current turn ID
+  E->>M: report_result(taskId, threadId, turnId, status, summary)
+  M->>W: reportTaskResult()
+  W->>W: Lock and validate identity and freshness
+  alt Fresh result
+    W->>W: Replace status, summary, turnId, updatedAt, updatedBy
+    W-->>M: Updated task
+    M-->>E: Recorded result
+  else Same turn and same result
+    W-->>M: Existing task
+    M-->>E: Idempotent success
+  else Conflict or stale turn
+    W-->>M: Tool error
+    M-->>E: Visible failure
+  end
+```
+
+A native approval prompt is not a semantic result. `needs_input` is reserved
+for a user decision or fact required to proceed.
+
+## Follow-up turns
+
+Turn IDs are freshness tokens for semantic callbacks. Lexical UUIDv7 order lets
+the workspace reject a callback from an older executor turn.
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+  autonumber
+  actor U as User
+  participant E as Linked executor
+  participant C as Native Codex task API
+  participant M as TaskChef MCP
+  participant W as workspace.js
+  E->>M: report_result(..., turnA, needs_input, summaryA)
+  M->>W: Store turnA
+  W-->>E: needs_input snapshot
+  U->>E: Provide decision
+  E->>C: Read exact executor after follow-up
+  C-->>E: turnB
+  E->>M: report_result(..., turnB, completed, summaryB)
+  M->>W: Require turnB greater than turnA
+  W-->>E: completed snapshot
+  E->>M: report_result(..., turnA, completed, staleSummary)
+  M->>W: Validate freshness
+  W-->>E: Error: turn is not newer
+```
+
+The executor contract therefore requires a new exact read on every follow-up;
+cached or inherited turn IDs are invalid.
+
+## Link-pending and failure paths
+
+A failed or interrupted link never authorizes substantive work. The record
+remains a visible retry point for the same executor.
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+  autonumber
+  participant E as Executor
+  participant M as TaskChef MCP
+  participant W as workspace.js
+  E->>M: link_task(taskId, assertedThreadId)
+  M->>W: linkTask()
+  alt Exact eligible record and unused canonical UUIDv7
+    W->>W: Atomic null-to-thread transition
+    W-->>E: Linked task
+  else MCP unavailable or call interrupted
+    M--xE: Visible failure
+    Note over E,W: Record remains link-pending
+  else Wrong task, marker, state, or identity
+    W-->>E: Validation error
+    Note over E,W: No mutation
+  end
+  E->>E: Retry linking on a later turn before work
+```
+
+If `CODEX_THREAD_ID` is missing, the executor reports the problem visibly and
+does not substitute `CODEX_SESSION_ID`, a parent ID, or search results.
+
+Native creation can fail after the durable record exists:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+  autonumber
+  participant D as Dispatcher
+  participant M as TaskChef MCP
+  participant W as workspace.js
+  participant C as Native Codex
+  D->>M: record_task(..., threadId null)
+  M->>W: Append working record
+  W-->>D: Recorded task
+  D->>C: Create executor
+  C--xD: Creation error
+  D->>M: report_result(taskId, null, null, failed, boundedSummary)
+  M->>W: Lock and store creation failure
+  W-->>D: Failed task with null IDs
+  D-->>D: Preserve original creation error and task ID
+```
+
+The summary is bounded and excludes secrets, transcripts, and raw command
+output. A creation-failure record cannot later be linked.
+
+## Dashboard update flow
+
+Every mutation rewrites `tasks.jsonl` atomically under the workspace lock.
+The monitor tolerates replacement races, validates a complete snapshot, and
+publishes only the newest state to each SSE client.
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+  autonumber
+  participant M as MCP writer
+  participant W as workspace.js
+  participant F as tasks.jsonl
+  participant D as Dashboard monitor
+  participant B as Browser client
+  participant C as Native Codex
+  M->>W: link_task or report_result
+  W->>W: Acquire shared lock
+  W->>F: Atomic replacement
+  W-->>M: Updated task
+  F-->>D: Filesystem change
+  D->>F: Bounded read from one descriptor
+  D->>D: Validate current schema and sort
+  D-->>B: SSE snapshot
+  B->>D: Open task action
+  alt Canonical Codex UUIDv7
+    D->>C: Direct thread navigation
+  else Null or non-native durable ID
+    D->>D: Revalidate current project configuration
+    D->>C: Open configured project
+  end
+```
+
+The dashboard binds to `127.0.0.1`, has no shared session state, limits
+request bodies, and checks origin/authority for stateful local actions. Historical
+project paths are untrusted until matched against current configuration.
+
+## Concurrency and trust boundaries
+
+Configuration and task mutations use the same `proper-lockfile` lock. ID and
+identity uniqueness checks, link eligibility, and result freshness occur
+inside the critical section. Writes use temporary files/hard links and atomic
+rename so readers see complete snapshots.
+
+The dispatcher controls routing and immutable intent. The executor controls its
+cooperatively asserted identity and semantic result. Neither identity nor
+summary is cryptographically authenticated; this is a local single-user trust
+model. Managed files, instructions, project snapshots, MCP inputs, and dashboard
+requests are validated at every action boundary.
+
+Only current configuration schema 2 and task schema 4 are accepted.
+Unsupported data is rejected without rewrite.
