# Review: tasks — slice 155

**Verdict:** FAIL
**Model:** z-ai/glm-5

## Findings

### [FAIL] Missing checkpoint implementation tasks

**Success Criterion 5** requires: "Checkpoints pause execution, persist state, and allow resume with `sq run --resume`."

The task breakdown has no implementation tasks for:
1. Evaluating checkpoint trigger conditions in SDK mode
2. Persisting state when a checkpoint triggers
3. Exiting with a specific exit code for checkpoint pauses
4. Implementing the `--resume` flag and resume functionality in the CLI

T18 includes tests for checkpoint behavior ("Test checkpoint triggers session disconnect and state persistence", "Test resume after checkpoint creates new session and continues") but no corresponding implementation tasks exist. T14's `finally` block handles cleanup on success/failure/interrupt, but this is not the same as checkpoint-triggered pauses with state persistence and exit codes.

**Required**: Add tasks to implement checkpoint trigger evaluation, state persistence, exit code handling, and the `--resume` flag with session reconstruction.

### [CONCERN] Missing review system verification

**Success Criterion 4** states: "Reviews execute via the existing review system with non-Claude models (minimax, etc.)."

No task verifies that reviews continue to work correctly when running in SDK mode. The slice design explicitly notes reviews should "stay subprocess-based" and use the existing review system, but T18's integration tests only mock review action returns without verifying the subprocess dispatch path still functions.

**Recommendation**: Add verification in T18 that review actions correctly spawn subprocesses with the expected provider/model configuration, or add a separate test task for review path verification.

### [CONCERN] Incomplete compaction config integration in dispatch

T1's `dispatch()` method specification says: "call `self.client.query(prompt)`, collect response from `self.client.receive_response()`, return joined text" — but does not address how the stored `_compaction_config` (set by `configure_compaction()`) is applied to the SDK client.

The slice design notes this is a known integration risk: "We need to determine whether `context_management` can be passed through `ClaudeAgentOptions` or needs to be set per-query."

**Recommendation**: Either add an investigation task to determine the integration approach, or explicitly update T1 to include applying the stored compaction config during dispatch (e.g., passing to `query()` or setting on client options).

### [PASS] Test-with pattern followed consistently

Each implementation task has a corresponding test task immediately following it:
- T1 → T2 (SDK session)
- T5 → T6 (dispatch session path)
- T8 → T9 (compact SDK path)
- T11 → T12 (environment detection)
- T14+T15 → T16 (CLI wiring)
- T18 (integration tests)

### [PASS] Commit checkpoints well-distributed

Commits are distributed throughout the task sequence (T3, T7, T10, T13, T17, T19, T20), not batched at the end. Each logical unit of work has its own checkpoint.

### [PASS] Success criteria 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 covered

- SC1 (SDK execution from terminal): T14, T15, T18
- SC2 (Model switching with set_model): T1, T5, T6, T18
- SC3 (Compact with resolved instructions): T8, T9, T18
- SC6 (Claude Code session error): T11, T12
- SC7 (Existing dispatch path unchanged): T5, T6, T8, T9, T16, T20
