Bug Found: RECONNECTING Stuck State

Root Cause

When recovery finds an existing kontask card, it sets state.recoveryComplete = true but never dispatches to the state machine to transition to idle!

The Bug Location

/konnectvol/konui/src/console-init.ts lines 61-62:

// When kontask card already present:
state.recoveryComplete = true;  // ✓ Correct
clearPendingState();              // ✓ Correct
// ✗ MISSING: dispatch to state machine!

Why It Happens

  1. You leave dashboard while Claude is working
  2. Claude finishes and creates kontask
  3. You return to dashboard
  4. restoreHistory() displays the kontask card
  5. Init code sees card exists, sets recoveryComplete = true
  6. But state machine still shows "RECONNECTING"
  7. Only "Stop" button forces state transition to idle

The Fix

Add dispatch({ type: 'kontask_found', kontaskId: 'already-displayed' }) when recovery finds the kontask already displayed:

// Line 61-62 in console-init.ts
if (existingCard) {
  log('info', 'init', 'Correct kontask card already present', ...);
  state.recoveryComplete = true;
  clearPendingState();
  dispatch({ type: 'kontask_found', kontaskId: 'already-displayed' });  // ← ADD THIS
}

Same Issue in console-history.ts

Lines 205, 418, 439 call clearPendingState() without dispatching. Should also be fixed:

  • Line 205: After matching kontext → add dispatch
  • Line 418: After fallback finds kontask → add dispatch
  • Line 439: After clearing stale state → add dispatch
