- Around line 37-39: Update the matching logic in mergeApiMessageSnapshots and
mergeClineMessageSnapshots to consume an existing record only when its stable
persisted message identifier matches, not solely by timestamp and ordinal.
Preserve equal-timestamp siblings with different identifiers, and add API and
Cline regression coverage for unrelated disk and incoming records sharing the
same ts.
In `@src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts`:
- Around line 4109-4114: Update the parent restoration flow in ClineProvider so
the merged UI and API snapshots are used to hydrate the new parent task without
subsequent authoritative writes of stale arrays. At
src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts lines 4109-4114, adjust the saveTaskMessages
flow; apply the equivalent change at lines 4199-4204 for parentApiMessages and

Keep generated legacy identifiers unique in partially upgraded histories.
Line 11 skips ordinal tracking for an existing generated identifier. For [{ messageId: "legacy:1:0", ts: 1 }, { ts: 1 }], Line 16 assigns legacy:1:0 to the second record. The merge then uses this duplicate identity as its match key and can merge or discard the wrong message.
Track existing generated IDs and select an unused ordinal. Add a partially upgraded snapshot regression case.

Delay UI hydration until both history reads complete.
If API history loading is pending after Line 2189 and the task is evicted, abortTaskOnce() sees non-empty clineMessages and persists this resume-mutated snapshot. This bypasses the empty-history guard and can save removal of trailing partial reasoning after cancellation.
Read API history into a local variable first. Then check abort and abandoned before hydrating either history. Add a regression test that blocks the API read after the UI read, evicts the task, and asserts that no history write occurs.

In `@src/core/task/Task.ts` at line 2189, Update the task history-loading flow
around hydrateClineMessages so API history is read into a local variable before
hydrating UI history; after both reads complete, check abort and abandoned state
before hydrating either history. Add a regression test that blocks the API read
after the UI read, evicts the task, and verifies no history write occurs.

Remove the any assertions from API history.
src/eslint.config.mjs enforces @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any for src/core/webview/**/*.ts. Declare parentApiMessages as ApiMessage[], remove the read cast, and pass it directly to saveApiMessages().

Make the delegation handoff recoverable after a partial pair write
reopenParentFromDelegation calls atomicUpdatePair, which writes the child before the parent. If the parent write fails, the child is persisted as completed, the parent remains delegated, and the error propagates without an in-session retry. Startup reconciliation repairs this state only after restart. Add durable recovery or retry handling at atomicUpdatePair so both lifecycle records converge before the handoff fails.

In `@src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts` at line 4207, Update atomicUpdatePair,
used by reopenParentFromDelegation, to recover from a parent-write failure after
the child has been persisted: retry or durably roll back the partial update so
the child and parent lifecycle records converge before propagating failure.

What changed
Why this change was made
Reopening or quickly leaving a saved task could replace valid history with an empty or shortened message list. Concurrent extension instances and delegated-parent restoration could also overwrite newer records. This resolves #1279 and extends the lifecycle and persistence safety work tracked by #355, #208, and #1231.
Impact
Users keep their saved task content when reopening or resuming tasks, including messages created concurrently in the same millisecond. Temporary storage gaps are retried, merged parent histories remain authoritative, and explicit user-driven rewinds continue to replace history as intended.
