Output

Phase 3: Staleness Detection

The goal: warn users when they're about to respond to an old kontask that Claude may have moved on from.

The Problem

User opens kontask from 2 hours ago, clicks "Approve" - but Claude's session has moved on and isn't waiting for that response anymore. The approval goes into the void.

Detection Options

Time-basedWarn if kontask > 30 min oldSimple
Session IDTrack Claude session, warn if session changedMedium
Newer kontasksWarn if Claude created newer kontasks sinceSimple

Recommended: Hybrid Approach

  1. Time warning: Show yellow banner if > 30 min old
  2. Newer kontasks: Show orange banner if Claude created newer kontasks
  3. Both: Show red banner if old AND newer kontasks exist

Implementation Plan

  1. Add createdAt check in kontask-detail.ts
  2. Query for newer kontasks from same creator
  3. Show warning banner with appropriate severity
  4. No schema changes needed - uses existing data
