Routing-Key: inbox-route/I_kwDOSUhdos8AAAABTSyVtA

What

min task run never forwarded the task's declared arguments to the daemon: the exec request carried no arg payload, and the daemon dispatch built TaskExec { args: None, .. } unconditionally. Any task using %{arg} therefore failed even when every arg had a default.

Change

  • Carry the client's argv on the wire as a JSON array after the task name ((task/redacted) [--owns-box] <task> [args]); the legacy bare form still parses as empty.
  • Parse that argv against the task's args schema in task_producer, where the schema is first available, mirroring the in-sandbox path in mctx::env. An empty argv still parses, applying the task's defaults.

Verification

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check passes.
  • cargo test --locked -p minimald-rpc --lib passes (49 tests), including the new a_task_run_round_trips_its_args.
  • cargo test --locked -p minimal --lib passes (262 tests; one pre-existing unrelated legacy_network_spellings_parse_with_hint failure).
  • cargo test --locked -p minimald --lib passes (478 tests; four pre-existing unrelated network-namespace/egress failures).
  • cargo build --workspace --locked passed earlier in the run.

Note: cargo clippy --workspace --locked -- -D warnings reports four pre-existing lints in net/switch.rs and session_host.rs (untouched files) from the environment's clippy 1.98 vs the repo's pinned 1.97.0; the changed files are clippy-clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Task runs now accept arguments after the task name, including values that begin with hyphens. Arguments are checked against the task’s declared inputs, with defaults applied where available.
    • Task arguments are preserved when requests are sent and processed.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Requests without task arguments remain compatible with the existing format. Malformed argument lists are rejected.

Task runs sent `ExecRequest::TaskRun` with no argument payload, and the
daemon dispatch built `TaskExec { args: None, .. }` unconditionally. A
task using `%{arg}` therefore never saw its declared args, failing even
when every arg had a default.

Carry the client's argv on the wire as a JSON array after the task name
(legacy bare form still parses as empty), and parse it against the
task's `args` schema in `task_producer`, where the schema is first
available. An empty argv still parses, applying the task's defaults.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Task-run requests now carry optional task arguments from the CLI through the RPC protocol to daemon-side parsing and execution. Argument-free requests retain the legacy wire format. The daemon parses arguments against each task’s declared schema.

Changes

Task-run arguments

Layer / File(s) Summary
Task-run RPC contract
crates/minimald-rpc/src/exec.rs
ExecRequest::TaskRun carries an argument vector. Nonempty arguments encode as JSON; legacy requests without arguments parse as empty. Malformed argument payloads return TaskArgs.
CLI arguments and request construction
crates/minimal/src/cli.rs, crates/minimal/src/task.rs, crates/minimal/src/cmd/session.rs, crates/minimal/src/main.rs, crates/minimal/src/tests.rs
The CLI accepts zero or more task arguments, including values that begin with hyphens. Task-run requests include the supplied arguments; session requests and updated fixtures use empty vectors.
Daemon argument parsing and execution
crates/minimald/src/exec.rs, crates/minvmd/tests/minimald_session_integration.rs
The daemon receives raw argument strings and parses them against the task schema. Parsed values are used for echo interpolation and task invocation; empty input is parsed when a task declares arguments.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

A rabbit packs arguments neat,
Then hops them along to the seat.
The task reads each string,
Its schema takes wing,
And defaults make the parsing complete.

1014-1033: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use nonempty arguments in the task-run forwarding test.

task_run_leaves_destroy_to_daemon passes &[] in both cases, so a helper that discards task arguments would still pass. Add one nonempty fixture and assert it for both normal and --keep requests. Keep the existing ownership assertions.

Suggested fix
 fn task_run_leaves_destroy_to_daemon() {
     use minimald_rpc::exec::ExecRequest;
+    let task_args = vec!["--count".to_string(), "42".to_string()];

     // A normal run: the request names the box as the run's own.
-    let req = task_run_request("build", &[], false);
+    let req = task_run_request("build", &task_args, false);
     assert_eq!(
         req,
         ExecRequest::TaskRun {
             task: "build".to_string(),
             owns_box: true,
-            args: vec![],
+            args: task_args.clone(),
         }
     );

     // `--keep` keeps the box: no owns-box flag, nothing ends it here.
-    let kept = task_run_request("build", &[], true);
+    let kept = task_run_request("build", &task_args, true);
     assert_eq!(
         kept,
         ExecRequest::TaskRun {
             task: "build".to_string(),
             owns_box: false,
-            args: vec![],
+            args: task_args,
         }
     );

This is a test-coverage improvement. The production path already passes args.args to task_run_request.

- Around line 316-317: Update the CLI argument definitions so the optional
project path is unambiguous and cannot consume the first task argument in
`args`; use an explicit path option or another clear syntax. Add parsing tests
covering task arguments both with and without an explicit project path.

Review comments at @crates/minimald-rpc/src/exec.rs:
- Line 146: Update task/run serialization and its corresponding parser to frame
task names unambiguously when arguments are present, so names with spaces or
matching the ownership marker are not misparsed. Preserve full task names in
legacy argument-free requests and maintain compatibility with previously
transmitted formats. Add regression tests covering both task-name cases.

@norrietaylor norrietaylor changed the title fix: fix(minimal): pass declared task args through to evaluation fix(minimal): pass declared task args through to evaluation Oct 3, 2026
Add a handle_exec test that runs a task declaring a defaulted arg with
no args, with --name, and with an undeclared flag. Name the task in the
args usage error (min task run <task>), add CLI parse tests for flag
pass-through and the -- separator, and document min task run args.
