Description

This PR attempts to address Issue #12330 by formalizing Phase 7 (Controlled Write Parallelism) as proposed by @easonLiangWorldedtech in the issue discussion. Feedback and guidance are welcome.

What changed:

  • Created docs/architecture/phase-7-controlled-write-parallelism.md -- a full architectural design document covering Phase 7, which absorbs the deferred Phase 3d scope and extends it with supporting infrastructure
  • Updated docs/architecture/phase-6-background-task-visibility.md to add forward references to Phase 7 for deferred items (write-capable background tasks and persistent history)

Phase 7 is organized into three sub-phases:

  1. Phase 7a: File Lock Manager -- advisory file-level locking so concurrent tasks coordinate write access safely
  2. Phase 7b: Write-Capable Background Tasks -- removes the read-only restriction from background tasks behind an explicit allowWrites parameter, with conflict detection
  3. Phase 7c: Persistent Background Task History -- background task metadata and conversation history survive VS Code restarts

The design document includes risk analysis, testing strategy, dependency chain, open questions, and an updated roadmap table.

Branch stack:

main
  +-- feature/enhanced-subtask-handoff-summary (Phase 1)
        +-- feature/phase-2-3-combined (Phase 2+3)
              +-- feature/remaining-phases-4-5-6 (Phase 4+5+6)
                    +-- feature/phase-7-write-parallelism (Phase 7 - this PR)

Test Procedure

This is a documentation-only change (two .md files). No code changes, no tests affected.

  • Verified the design document is consistent with the existing Phase 6 design doc and current codebase architecture
  • Verified forward references in the Phase 6 doc point to the correct sections
