claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Routines: no way to stop/cancel a running scheduled session [1 participants]

Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

To address the issue of a stuck routine run, consider modifying the Routines UI to include a Stop/Cancel button for active runs or expose the task_id of running routine sessions to enable programmatic termination via TaskStop.

Guidance

• Investigate the feasibility of adding a Stop/Cancel button to the Routines UI for active runs to provide a straightforward way to terminate stuck or unexpectedly long-running routines.
• Explore the possibility of exposing the task_id of running routine sessions, allowing users to stop them programmatically using TaskStop, even for sessions not spawned within the current session.
• Review the current implementation of TaskStop to understand why it only works for tasks within the current session and assess potential modifications to extend its functionality.
• Consider the security implications of exposing task_ids for remote scheduled sessions to ensure that any solution does not introduce vulnerabilities.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more details on the internal implementation of the Routines UI and TaskStop functionality. However, the solution likely involves modifying the UI to include a cancellation button or adjusting the TaskStop API to accept task_ids from any session.

Notes

The provided information does not specify the technical details of how routines are managed internally, which limits the ability to provide a precise fix. The solution may require changes to the Claude Code application's backend or UI, depending on the existing architecture.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the Routines UI to include a Stop/Cancel button for active runs, as this seems to be a more straightforward approach to provide users with a way to terminate stuck routines without requiring significant changes to the underlying task management system.
