Problem

Fixes #9634

When creating a file in a non-existent subdirectory, the write_to_file tool would fail with ENOENT errors because directories were only created later when diffViewProvider.open() was called.

Root Cause

  • The execute() and handlePartial() methods check if a file exists and set editType
  • Directories are only created inside diffViewProvider.open() or diffViewProvider.saveDirectly()
  • If diffViewProvider.isEditing was already true from a previous operation, open() would be skipped and directories would never be created
  • This caused ENOENT errors for subsequent file operations

Solution

Create parent directories immediately after determining a file doesn't exist, before any other operations that might depend on them:

  1. Added createDirectoriesForFile import from utils/fs
  2. In execute() method: Create directories when !fileExists before file operations
  3. In handlePartial() method: Same fix to prevent ENOENT during partial streaming

Testing

  • Added comprehensive tests for the new directory creation behavior
  • All 4315 tests pass
  • TypeScript compilation successful

Test Scenarios Covered

  • Creates parent directories early when file does not exist (execute)
  • Creates parent directories early when file does not exist (partial)
  • Does not create directories when file exists
  • Does not create directories when editType is cached as modify
  • Creates directories when editType is cached as create

Important

Fixes ENOENT errors in WriteToFileTool.ts by creating parent directories early, with comprehensive tests added.

  • Behavior:
    • Fixes ENOENT errors by creating parent directories early in execute() and handlePartial() in WriteToFileTool.ts.
    • Uses createDirectoriesForFile from utils/fs to ensure directories exist before file operations.
  • Testing:
    • Adds tests in writeToFileTool.spec.ts to verify early directory creation for non-existent files in both execute and partial modes.
    • Tests ensure directories are not created if file exists or editType is cached as modify.
    • All tests pass, including scenarios for directory creation, file existence detection, and error handling.

…NT errors

Fixes #9634

When creating a file in a non-existent subdirectory, the write_to_file
tool would fail with ENOENT errors because directories were only
created later when diffViewProvider.open() was called.

Changes:
- Add createDirectoriesForFile import from utils/fs
- Create directories immediately after determining file doesn't exist
  in both execute() and handlePartial() methods
- Add comprehensive tests for directory creation behavior

This ensures parent directories are created before any subsequent
file operations that depend on them.

* Migrate conversation continuity to plugin-side encrypted reasoning items (Responses API) (RooCodeInc#9203)

* Migrate conversation continuity to plugin-side encrypted reasoning items (Responses API)

Summary
We moved continuity off OpenAI servers and now maintain conversation state locally by persisting and replaying encrypted reasoning items. Requests are stateless (store=false) while retaining the performance/caching benefits of the Responses API.

Why
This aligns with how Roo manages context and simplifies our Responses API implementation while keeping all the benefits of continuity, caching, and latency improvements.

What changed
- All OpenAI models now use the Responses API; system instructions are passed via the top-level instructions field; requests include store=false and include=["reasoning.encrypted_content"].
- We persist encrypted reasoning items (type: "reasoning", encrypted_content, optional id) into API history and replay them on subsequent turns.
- Reasoning summaries default to summary: "auto" when supported; text.verbosity only when supported.
- Atomic persistence via safeWriteJson.

Removed
- previous_response_id flows, suppressPreviousResponseId/skipPrevResponseIdOnce, persistGpt5Metadata(), and GPT‑5 response ID metadata in UI messages.

Kept
- taskId and mode metadata for cross-provider features.

Result
- ZDR-friendly, stateless continuity with equal or better performance and a simpler codepath.

* fix(webview): remove unused metadata prop from ReasoningBlock render

* Responses API: retain response id for troubleshooting (not continuity)

Continuity is stateless via encrypted reasoning items that we persist and replay. We now capture the top-level response id in OpenAiNativeHandler and persist the assistant message id into api_conversation_history.json solely for debugging/correlation with provider logs; it is not used for continuity or control flow.

Also: silence request-body debug logging to avoid leaking prompts.

* refactor(task): switch to <feedback> wrapper to prevent focus drift after context-management event (condense/truncate) (RooCodeInc#9237)

* refactor(task): wrap initial user message in <feedback> instead of <task> to prevent focus drift after context-management

Rationale: After a successful context-management event, framing the next user block as feedback reduces model focus drift. Mentions parsing already supports <feedback>, and tool flows (attemptCompletion, responses) are aligned. No change to loop/persistence.

* refactor(mentions): drop <task> parsing; standardize on <feedback>; update tests

* fix: Filter native tools by mode restrictions (RooCodeInc#9246)

* fix: filter native tools by mode restrictions

Native tools are now filtered based on mode restrictions before being sent to the API, matching the behavior of XML tools. Previously, all native tools were sent to the API regardless of mode, causing the model to attempt using disallowed tools.

Changes:
- Created filterNativeToolsForMode() and filterMcpToolsForMode() utility functions
- Extracted filtering logic from Task.ts into dedicated module
- Applied same filtering approach used for XML tools in system prompt
- Added comprehensive test coverage (10 tests)

Impact:
- Model only sees tools allowed by current mode
- No more failed tool attempts due to mode restrictions
- Consistent behavior between XML and Native protocols
- Better UX with appropriate tool suggestions per mode

* refactor: eliminate repetitive tool checking using group-based approach

- Add getAvailableToolsInGroup() helper to check tools by group instead of individually
- Refactor filterNativeToolsForMode() to reuse getToolsForMode() instead of duplicating logic
- Simplify capabilities.ts by using group-based checks (60% reduction)
- Refactor rules.ts to use group helper (56% reduction)
- Remove debug console.log statements
- Update tests and snapshots

Benefits:
- Eliminates code duplication
- Leverages existing TOOL_GROUPS structure
- More maintainable - new tools in groups work automatically
- All tests passing (26/26)

* fix: add fallback to default mode when mode config not found

Ensures the agent always has functional tools even if:
- A custom mode is deleted while tasks still reference it
- Mode configuration becomes corrupted
- An invalid mode slug is provided

Without this fallback, the agent would have zero tools (not even
ask_followup_question or attempt_completion), completely breaking it.

* Fix broken share button (RooCodeInc#9253)

fix(webview-ui): make Share button popover work by forwarding ref in LucideIconButton

- Convert LucideIconButton to forwardRef so Radix PopoverTrigger(asChild) receives a focusable element
- Enables Share popover and shareCurrentTask flow
- Verified with ShareButton/TaskActions Vitest suites

* fix: make line_ranges optional in read_file tool schema (RooCodeInc#9254)

The OpenAI tool schema required both 'path' and 'line_ranges' in FileEntry,
but the TypeScript type definition marks lineRanges as optional. This caused
the AI to fail when trying to read files without specifying line_ranges.

Changes:
- Updated read_file tool schema to only require 'path' parameter
- line_ranges remains available but optional, matching TypeScript types
- Aligns with implementation which treats lineRanges as optional throughout

Fixes issue where read_file tool kept failing with missing parameters.

* [FIX] Fix OpenAI Native handling of encrypted reasoning blocks to prevent error when condensing (RooCodeInc#9263)

* fix: prevent duplicate tool_result blocks in native protocol mode for read_file (RooCodeInc#9272)

When read_file encountered errors (e.g., file not found), it would call
handleError() which internally calls pushToolResult(), then continue to
call pushToolResult() again with the final XML. In native protocol mode,
this created two tool_result blocks with the same tool_call_id, causing
400 errors on subsequent API calls.

This fix replaces handleError() with task.say() for error notifications.
The agent still receives error details through the XML in the single
final pushToolResult() call.

This change works for both protocols:
- Native: Only one tool_result per tool_call_id (fixes duplicate issue)
- XML: Only one text block with complete XML (cleaner than before)

Agent visibility preserved: Errors are included in the XML response
sent to the agent via pushToolResult().

Tests: All 44 tests passing. Updated test to verify say() is called.
