Flow & Edge Debugging Analysis
Deep investigation into why flows and edges aren't being created properly
Output
🔍 Flow & Edge Debugging Analysis
📊 Current State
Flows: 4 total (all active) Edges: 6 total (all kontask→flow "evidence" type) Decisions: 1 total Kontasks: 2,482+ total Linked: 6 kontasks (0.24% of total)
✅ What's Working
• Flows ARE being created when sessions start - konsole calls /api/gv/flows/get-or-create - Logs show "Auto-assigned flow to session" ✓ • Flow IDs ARE stored in konsole sessions - Session ses_d3abe491-395 has flowId: flow_01KEGVRXHHK7E25VFSX4HCV289 - GET /sessions/:id returns flowId correctly • Edge creation code WORKS when conditions are met - 6 edges created successfully at 08:40-08:49 UTC - All linked to flow_01KEGVRXHHK7E25VFSX4HCV289
❌ Root Cause: Claude Not Following Instructions
The system prompt tells Claude: "targetUser": "${username}", ← should be "stephanie" "sessionId": "${session.id}", ← should be "ses_d3abe491-395" But Claude creates kontasks with: "targetUser": "claude", ← WRONG "sessionId": null ← MISSING
🔗 Why Some Edges Were Created
The 6 kontasks that got edges (08:40-08:49 UTC): • Were created AFTER the edge-linking code was deployed (08:15 UTC) • DID include sessionId in the kontask body • Were from user "johnathon" (session ses_9c69cb59-31c) Stephanie's kontask at 09:04 UTC: • Did NOT include sessionId (null) • Was from a session that started at 08:25 UTC • Claude in that session didn't follow the sessionId instruction
🛠️ The Auto-Injection Logic
router.ts:643-652 // AUTO-INJECT sessionId from active turn if (lookupUser && !body.sessionId) { const activeSessionId = consoleWebSocket.getActiveSessionIdForUser(lookupUser); if (activeSessionId) { body.sessionId = activeSessionId; } } // PROBLEM: lookupUser = body.targetUser || username // If targetUser = "claude", looks up "claude" → no active turn → no sessionId
💡 Recommended Fixes
- Fix auto-injection lookup - Use the actual console user, not targetUser
// Get the user who sent the console request const consoleSender = consoleWebSocket.getActiveTurnSender(activeRequestId);
- Always inject sessionId from the active turn context, regardless of what Claude provides
- Add logging when sessionId lookup fails to diagnose future issues
