Actual vs. Expected Behavior

Hi!

I like to see the green text that shows the task successfully solved the issue/request when managing my tasks.
Sometimes the issue/request is solved but Roo is still waiting for your input/confirmation. I state the task is complete, which allows me for future reference (debugging, pinpointing errors, etc.. for example). But this might cost me a few API calls, as Roo tries new things, attempts commands, asks questions, or further monologues before marking the task complete.

Manually closing a task as complete would allow for both future referencing and starting a new task for the next thing right away, saving on cost.

Thanks a lot!

Detailed Steps to Reproduce

1. Create and run a task
2. Stop mid-task / the task is waiting user action
3. You wish you could mark the task as complete

in the same spirit, it might also be useful to mark them as failed, with red text, actually. Highlights roadblocks / dead ends

Is this in reference to using boomerang mode?

[James-Cherished]

Hi! No, not specifically. Do you need clarification?

[hannesrudolph]

@James-Cherished what models are you seeing this on? This seems like a model limitation in terms of understanding the current context of the chat. The LLM is the brains and Roo is the orchestrator.

Thanks for the answer!

Maybe it was too late when I wrote this 😅 💤 To be more synthetic :

• Feature request : Manually mark tasks as complete or failed, while running mid-task
• Why : saves API calls, useful for personal task management (cut a task short, mark it as complete or dead end)

Anyways, not the most important thing at all, just sharing my thoughts as I use it, maybe this one's too personal of a need.

I like where you're going with this. Roo does not have a built in task management framework or modes yet but it is something we are looking to implement. Your input is valuable. Thank you.

Task Master, but also a few extras for "memory bank" and others that usually belong to MCPs, need to dig some of the issues cus I might have some notes written down elsewhere...
