069-task-management-tools: Task Management Tools - Stop & Output

This specification defines the implementation requirements for TaskStopTool and TaskOutputTool to provide production-ready task lifecycle management.

At a glance

Reading this spec

This spec completes the task management suite. The suite already has TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskGet and TaskList; this spec adds TaskStopTool, which ends running tasks, and TaskOutputTool, which retrieves what a task wrote to stdout and stderr. Together they give production-ready task lifecycle management.

The goals are stopping long-running tasks (gracefully or by force), retrieving real-time and historical output, monitoring progress with performance metrics, debugging task execution through logging and error reporting, securing task operations with authorization, and staying reliable under races and faults. The scope is task termination, output retrieval in streaming and batch form, status monitoring with metrics, and security and governance integration. Four user stories illustrate it: stopping a stuck build process, debugging a failed deployment task, batch-stopping stale tasks and watching a build in real time.

The 48 requirement IDs (REQ-069-NNN) begin with security requirements: authenticating every task operation, sanitizing string inputs, logging every permission denial with a reason, and protecting against race conditions. Functional requirements follow: TaskStopTool supports a forced stop mode, and TaskOutputTool supports line-range retrieval with bounds checking. The last group lists error codes such as TERMINATION_FAILED. Several items carry explicit notes that they are not implemented in the current MVP, which keeps the task manager in-process: the Redis and persistent-storage requirements, the WebSocket streaming error, a full permission model beyond an owner-or-admin check, and a durable audit log.

The code is in the task tools module. The requirements traceability matrix lists each ID. The spec's own status line reads Complete and it tracks 3 files. Measured coverage is 40 of 48 requirements cited by at least one @traces in src/ (83.3%), spread over 1 module; the module citing the most of them is orchestrata_ultimate/tools/task_tools (40 requirements). In tests/, 0 requirements are cited by a test-side @traces. The 8 requirements with no citing symbol are mostly the not-implemented items above plus the line-range bounds rule REQ-069-009.

User Scenarios

US-001: Stop Stuck Build Process

As a Developer (Agent) I want to stop a long-running build task that has exceeded its expected duration So that I can prevent resource exhaustion and investigate the hang

Acceptance Criteria:

• Build process is terminated via SIGTERM, escalating to SIGKILL if needed
• Exit code 143 (SIGTERM) or 137 (SIGKILL) is recorded
• Partial output is preserved for debugging
• Task status is updated to "stopped" in Redis

US-002: Debug Failed Deployment Task

As a DevOps Engineer (Agent) I want to retrieve and analyze the output from a failed deployment task So that I can identify the root cause of the failure

Acceptance Criteria:

• Complete stderr output is retrieved with error messages visible
• Timestamps are preserved for log correlation
• Line range selection works for focusing on error sections
• Output format is readable and searchable

US-003: Batch Stop Stale Tasks

As a System Administrator (Agent) I want to stop all tasks matching a naming pattern (e.g., stale overnight test runs) So that I can clean up zombie processes and free up system resources

Acceptance Criteria:

• All 15 matching tasks are terminated gracefully
• Batch operation summary shows tasks_found, tasks_stopped, failures
• Protected tasks are excluded from termination
• Audit log entries are created for each operation

US-004: Real-Time Build Monitoring

As a Developer (Agent) I want to monitor task output in real-time via WebSocket streaming So that I can intervene immediately if errors occur

Acceptance Criteria:

• Output chunks arrive within 100ms of generation
• WebSocket connection remains stable throughout task execution
• Connection handles task completion gracefully

Terminology

Task: A running or completed process managed by the orchestrata-ultimate system, identified by a unique task_id in format task_[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+.

TaskStopTool: Tool responsible for terminating task processes gracefully or by force, supporting both individual and batch operations.

TaskOutputTool: Tool responsible for retrieving and formatting task output (stdout/stderr) in full, tail, lines, and streaming modes.

Graceful Stop: Process termination that sends SIGTERM first, waits up to 10 seconds for clean shutdown, then escalates to SIGKILL if needed.

Forced Stop: Immediate process termination using SIGKILL without waiting for graceful shutdown.

Output Stream: Continuous flow of task output data delivered via WebSocket in real-time.

Task State: Current status of a task: pending, running, stopped, completed, failed, or timeout.

Output Retention: Time period (default 7 days) during which task output is preserved before automatic purging.
