# ✅ Todo Progress Logging Improved!

## Summary

The todo progress tracking has been **dramatically improved** with full todo list visibility on every update! 🎉

---

## What Was Improved

### 1. **Full Todo List Display on Every Update**

**Before:**
```
[Coder] Creating todo list with 5 tasks:
  1. [!] Create folder game_website
  2. [!] Create game_website/index.html
  ...
[Coder] Summary: total=5, done=0, in_progress=0, pending=5

[Coder] Starting: Create folder game_website
[Coder] Completed: Create folder game_website
[Coder] Summary: total=5, done=4, in_progress=1, pending=0  ← Confusing! How did 4 get done?
```

**After:**
```
======================================================================
[Coder] Creating todo list with 5 tasks:
======================================================================
  1. [!] ⏳ Create folder game_website
  2. [!] ⏳ Create game_website/index.html
  3. [~] ⏳ Create game_website/styles.css
  4. [~] ⏳ Create game_website/app.js
  5. [-] ⏳ Test the game website
======================================================================

======================================================================
[Coder] TODO LIST UPDATE:
======================================================================
  1. [!] 🔄 Create folder game_website          ← In progress!
  2. [!] ⏳ Create game_website/index.html
  3. [~] ⏳ Create game_website/styles.css
  4. [~] ⏳ Create game_website/app.js
  5. [-] ⏳ Test the game website

Progress: 0 done, 1 in progress, 4 pending
======================================================================

[Coder] Running: mkdir game_website

======================================================================
[Coder] TODO LIST UPDATE:
======================================================================
  1. [!] ✅ Create folder game_website          ← Completed!
  2. [!] 🔄 Create game_website/index.html      ← Now working on this
  3. [~] ⏳ Create game_website/styles.css
  4. [~] ⏳ Create game_website/app.js
  5. [-] ⏳ Test the game website

Progress: 1 done, 1 in progress, 3 pending
======================================================================
```

### 2. **Visual Status Indicators**

- ⏳ **Pending** - Task not started yet
- 🔄 **In Progress** - Currently working on this task
- ✅ **Completed** - Task finished successfully

### 3. **Priority Indicators**

- `[!]` = **HIGH** priority
- `[~]` = **MEDIUM** priority
- `[-]` = **LOW** priority

### 4. **Progress Summary**

Every update shows:
```
Progress: X done, Y in progress, Z pending
```

## Enforced One-by-One Execution

### Updated Agent Instructions

The Coder agent now has **crystal clear** instructions about one-by-one task execution:

```
⚠️ YOU MUST WORK ON TASKS ONE BY ONE - NEVER DO MULTIPLE TASKS AT ONCE! ⚠️

CRITICAL WORKFLOW FOR EACH TASK:
  1. Mark ONLY ONE task as "in_progress" using todo_write
  2. Execute that SINGLE task using the appropriate tool (bash, write, etc.)
  3. Mark that task as "completed" using todo_write
  4. Then move to the next task (repeat from step 1)

NEVER mark multiple tasks as in_progress or completed at once
NEVER execute multiple tools without updating todos in between
```

### Step-by-Step Workflow Example

The prompt now includes a detailed example:

```
Task 1: "Create folder game_app"
  Step 1: todo_write([...task 1 in_progress, others pending...])
  Step 2: bash(command="mkdir game_app")
  Step 3: todo_write([...task 1 completed, task 2 in_progress...])

Task 2: "Create game_app/index.html"
  Step 4: Already marked in_progress in step 3
  Step 5: write(file_path="game_app/index.html", content="...")
  Step 6: todo_write([...task 1 completed, task 2 completed, task 3 in_progress...])

And so on... ONE TASK AT A TIME!
```

    statuses = [t.get("status") for t in todos]
    in_progress_count = statuses.count("in_progress")
    completed_count = statuses.count("completed")
    pending_count = statuses.count("pending")

    if completed_count == 0 and in_progress_count == 0:
        # Initial todo creation
        print(f"\n{'='*70}")
        print(f"[{self.name}] Creating todo list with {len(todos)} tasks:")
        print(f"{'='*70}")
        for i, todo in enumerate(todos, 1):
            priority_emoji = {"high": "!", "medium": "~", "low": "-"}.get(...)
            status_emoji = "⏳"
            print(f"  {i}. [{priority_emoji}] {status_emoji} {todo.get('task')}")
        print(f"{'='*70}")
    else:
        # Todo update - ALWAYS show full list with progress
        print(f"\n{'='*70}")
        print(f"[{self.name}] TODO LIST UPDATE:")
        print(f"{'='*70}")
        for i, todo in enumerate(todos, 1):
            # Show status emoji based on task status
            status = todo.get("status")
            if status == "completed":
                status_emoji = "✅"
            elif status == "in_progress":
                status_emoji = "🔄"
            else:
                status_emoji = "⏳"
            print(f"  {i}. [{priority_emoji}] {status_emoji} {todo.get('task')}")

        print(f"\nProgress: {completed_count} done, {in_progress_count} in progress, {pending_count} pending")
        print(f"{'='*70}")
```
