live todo tracking, collapsible task list in final progress, hide set_output outside standalone (#492)

* fix false "without reporting progress" error + live todo tracking

clean up orphaned progress comments when review is skipped or only
set_output is used, preventing the false positive in handleAgentResult.

parse todowrite events from OpenCode's NDJSON stream and render a
live markdown checklist in the PR progress comment (2s debounce).
agent's explicit report_progress always takes priority.

Made-with: Cursor

* fix contradictory review/progress prompting

align Review and IncrementalReview mode prompts with their guidance —
mode prompts said "always submit" while guidance said "skip if clean."
remove the empty-approval submission that was silently dropped by the
tool. make progress comment lifecycle explicit: created on first call,
updated in place, removed after review submission.

Made-with: Cursor

* centralize todo tracking into shared TodoTracker module

extract inline todo tracking logic (~95 lines) from opentoad.ts into
action/utils/todoTracking.ts. the tracker is created once in main.ts
and passed to agents via AgentRunContext.todoTracker, making it
agent-agnostic and reusable for future agent implementations.

Made-with: Cursor

* fix todoTracker optional type to match file convention

add | undefined to todoTracker in AgentRunContext, matching every
other optional property in the same interface.

Made-with: Cursor

* instruct agents to always maintain a task list for live progress

system prompt now tells agents to create an internal task list at
the start of every run. the tracker renders it to the progress
comment automatically. report_progress is reserved for final
results only — no more intermediate "Checking..." messages that
cancel the tracker and leave stale text on the comment.

Made-with: Cursor

* require report_progress summary at end of every run

agents must always call report_progress with a final summary —
the completed task list should never be the end state of the
progress comment. updated all review mode prompts to call
report_progress after submitting (or not submitting) a review.

Made-with: Cursor

* keep progress comment after review with final summary

stop deleting the progress comment after review submission —
the agent now always calls report_progress with a summary at
the end, and that summary should persist as a record of what
was done.

Made-with: Cursor

* harden stranded progress comment cleanup

- main.ts: detect when tracker was last writer (agent never called
  report_progress) and delete the stranded checklist instead of
  leaving it as the final comment state
- postCleanup.ts: expand stuck-comment detection to also catch
  stranded todo checklists (regex match for checklist patterns)
  when the process is killed before normal cleanup runs
- modes.ts + selectMode.ts: add report_progress step to Summarize
  and SummaryUpdate modes (only modes that were missing it)

Made-with: Cursor

* fix stale comments, typo, and build mode redundancy

- comment.ts: update deleteProgressComment docstring and inline comment
  to reflect current usage (stranded-comment cleanup, not post-review)
- modes.ts: merge duplicate report_progress steps (8 + 10) into single
  step 9, fix "optimizatfixons" typo
- wiki/post-cleanup.md: document checklist detection regex

Made-with: Cursor

* collapsible completed todos in final progress, hide set_output outside standalone mode

- add renderCollapsible() to TodoTracker, append completed task list as
  <details> section when agent calls report_progress
- cancel tracker after agent's final report_progress so it doesn't
  overwrite with raw checklist
- conditionally register SetOutputTool only in standalone mode or when
  output_schema is provided
- remove unconditional set_output instruction from orchestrator task section
- update Summarize/SummaryUpdate mode guidance to not reference set_output

Made-with: Cursor

* show completion count in collapsible task list summary

Made-with: Cursor

* only count completed (not cancelled) in collapsible task list summary

Made-with: Cursor

* reinforce concise summary prompting across system prompt, modes, and tool description

Made-with: Cursor

* address review feedback: wasUpdated bypass, tracker false-positive, race condition

- remove wasUpdated=true from cleanup paths so handleAgentResult correctly
  detects genuinely silent runs
- add hadProgressComment to ToolState as immutable snapshot for the safety check
- use todoTracker.hasPublished instead of enabled for stranded-comment cleanup
- serialize onUpdate calls via inflightPromise chain with post-cancel guard
- add settled() to wait for in-flight updates before writing final summary

Made-with: Cursor

* address round-2 review: hasPublished after success, finalSummaryWritten flag

- set hasPublished only after onUpdate resolves (not before) so failed
  writes are not counted as published
- add finalSummaryWritten flag to ToolState, set after successful
  non-plan reportProgress; decouple cleanup detection from
  todoTracker.enabled so it survives API failures where cancel() ran
  but the write didn't succeed

### Progress reporting
ALWAYS use \`report_progress\` to share your results and progress — never \`create_issue_comment\`. The \`report_progress\` tool updates the pre-created progress comment on the issue/PR. Using \`create_issue_comment\` instead creates duplicate comments and leaves the progress comment stuck in its initial state. The \`create_issue_comment\` tool is only for creating NEW standalone comments unrelated to your task progress.
**Task list**: at the start of every run, create an internal task list based on the steps in your current mode. Update it as you complete each step. The system automatically renders this list to the progress comment — you do not need to call \`report_progress\` for this.
**\`report_progress\`**: you MUST call this exactly once at the end of every run with a brief final summary (1-3 sentences). Never call it for intermediate status updates (e.g., "Checking for changes...", "Starting review...") — the task list handles live progress automatically. Calling \`report_progress\` replaces the task list with your summary and preserves the completed task list in a collapsible section. Keep the summary concise — do not repeat what the task list already shows. Focus on the outcome (what was accomplished, links to artifacts) rather than listing individual steps.
Never use \`create_issue_comment\` for task progress — that creates duplicate comments and leaves the progress comment stuck in its initial state. \`create_issue_comment\` is only for standalone comments unrelated to your current task (e.g., Plan comments, PR Summary comments).
**After a PR review is submitted**, still call \`report_progress\` with your final summary. The progress comment persists as a record of what was done.

Follow the mode guidance to complete the task. Use your native file and shell tools for local operations, and the ${ghPullfrogMcpName} MCP tools for GitHub/git operations.
When done, call \`${ghPullfrogMcpName}/set_output\` with the final result. This makes it available as the GitHub Action output.
### No-action cases
If the task clearly requires no work, call \`${ghPullfrogMcpName}/report_progress\` directly to explain why no action is needed.`;
