Output
🔍 Missing Kontask Investigation
Issue Identified
The Edge Audit turn completed with full text output but no kontask card was created.
Evidence
| Turn ID | 06cde5bb-62ff-41a0-a25f-674b64740e01 |
| Status | ✓ completed |
| Tool Calls | 35 tools |
| Duration | 173.9s |
| konui_create_task calls | 0 |
| Text Output | ✓ Full Edge Audit Summary present in transcript |
Root Cause
The turn was continued from a previous conversation that ran out of context (compaction). When context was restored:
- The summary mentioned to "Continue with the last task" (edge audit)
- Claude completed all edge creation work ✅
- Claude output the Edge Audit Summary text ✅
- Claude did NOT call
konui_create_task❌
The CRITICAL OUTPUT INSTRUCTIONS were lost during compaction since they're injected per-turn, not preserved in the summary.
Comparison: Working Turn
Previous turn (3a4f5b08 - Documentation Update) ✓ DID create kontask:
- Kontask ID:
ee2ed457-cb4f-4244-ad70-db9ec7fc5586 - Title: "Schema Documentation Update for Thread Detection"
- Tool counts: 43 (including
konui_create_task: 1)
⚠️ Pattern: "Happened a lot recently"
This issue occurs when context compaction happens mid-session and the new turn is a continuation. The CRITICAL OUTPUT INSTRUCTIONS from the dashboard console are:
- Injected at the start of each turn via konsole
- NOT persisted in the session summary during compaction
- So post-compaction turns don't know they need to create kontasks
Recommended Fix
- Persist kontask instructions in summary - When compacting, include a reminder that dashboard console turns require kontask creation
- Add to session metadata - Store
requiresKontask: truein session state, not just per-turn injection - Post-compaction hook - Detect when session was compacted and re-inject critical instructions
