Problem: - Clicking Terminate during streaming caused the entire chat view to blink - Task would close, user pushed to home, then back into the task - Cancel → Resume flow would grey the Resume button but not restart the loop - Input would become disabled and messages couldn't be sent Root causes: 1. Hard abort (abandoned=true) was disposing the task instance immediately 2. Provider was rehydrating a new task instance from disk after abort 3. Abort flags stayed set (abort=true) preventing loop resumption 4. No deterministic spinner stopping on cancellation 5. Streaming state wasn't reset on resume Solution: - Soft-interrupt: Cancel now uses abortTask(false) to keep instance alive - No rehydration: Provider skips task recreation for user_cancelled aborts - Resume pipeline: Added presentResumableAsk() for in-place resume flow - Abort state reset: Clear abort flags and streaming state before resuming - Spinner determinism: Inject cancelReason into last api_req_started - Transactional UI: Pause state updates during checkpoint operations Changes: - Task.presentResumableAsk(): New method for soft-interrupt resume - Task.resumeTaskFromHistory(): Reset abort/streaming state after user confirms - Task.abortTask(): Distinguish soft (keep alive) vs hard abort (dispose) - ClineProvider.cancelTask(): Soft abort + schedule presentResumableAsk() - ClineProvider.onTaskAborted: Skip rehydration for user_cancelled - ChatView: Handle cancelReason for deterministic streaming state Tests: - Task.presentResumableAsk.abort-reset.spec.ts: Verify abort flag reset - ClineProvider.cancelTask.present-ask.spec.ts: Verify soft-interrupt flow - Task.spec.ts: Updated abort semantics (soft vs hard) Result: - No UI flicker or navigation on Cancel - Resume button successfully restarts the agent loop - Input remains enabled throughout cancel/resume cycle - Spinner stops deterministically on cancellation - Task history stable, no duplicate entries |

Local Setup & Development
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code.git
- Install dependencies:
pnpm install
- 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 Run → Start 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=cursoror--editor=code-insiders)
Manual VSIX Installation
If you prefer to install the VSIX package manually:
- First, build the VSIX package:
pnpm vsix - A
.vsixfile will be generated in thebin/directory (e.g.,bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix). - Install it manually using the VSCode CLI:
code --install-extension bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix
