fix: convert orphaned tool_results to text blocks after condensing (#10927)
* fix: convert orphaned tool_results to text blocks after condensing

When condensing occurs after assistant sends tool_uses but before user responds,
the tool_use blocks get condensed away. User messages containing tool_results that
reference condensed tool_use_ids become orphaned and get filtered out by
getEffectiveApiHistory, causing user feedback to be lost.

This fix enhances the existing check in addToApiConversationHistory to detect when
the previous effective message is not an assistant and converts any tool_result
blocks to text blocks, preventing them from being filtered as orphans.

The conversion happens at the latest possible moment (message insertion) because:
- Tool results are created before we know if condensing will occur
- We need actual effective history state to make the decision
- This is the last checkpoint before orphan filtering happens

* Only include environment details in summary for automatic condensing

For automatic condensing (during attemptApiRequest), environment details
are included in the summary because the API request is already in progress
and the next user message won't have fresh environment details injected.

For manual condensing (via condenseContext button), environment details
are NOT included because fresh details will be injected on the very next
turn via getEnvironmentDetails() in recursivelyMakeClineRequests().

This uses the existing isAutomaticTrigger flag to differentiate behavior.

Local Setup & Development

  1. Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code.git
  1. Install dependencies:
pnpm install
  1. Run the extension:

There are several ways to run the Roo Code extension:

Development Mode (F5)

For active development, use VSCode's built-in debugging:

Press F5 (or go to RunStart Debugging) in VSCode. This will open a new VSCode window with the Roo Code extension running.

  • Changes to the webview will appear immediately.
  • Changes to the core extension will also hot reload automatically.

Automated VSIX Installation

To build and install the extension as a VSIX package directly into VSCode:

pnpm install:vsix [-y] [--editor=<command>]

This command will:

  • Ask which editor command to use (code/cursor/code-insiders) - defaults to 'code'
  • Uninstall any existing version of the extension.
  • Build the latest VSIX package.
  • Install the newly built VSIX.
  • Prompt you to restart VS Code for changes to take effect.

Options:

  • -y: Skip all confirmation prompts and use defaults
  • --editor=<command>: Specify the editor command (e.g., --editor=cursor or --editor=code-insiders)

Manual VSIX Installation

If you prefer to install the VSIX package manually:

  1. First, build the VSIX package:
    pnpm vsix
    
  2. A .vsix file will be generated in the bin/ directory (e.g., bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix).
  3. Install it manually using the VSCode CLI:
    code --install-extension bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix
    

We use changesets for versioning and publishing. Check our CHANGELOG.md for release notes.
