Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses an issue where the system prompt provided an incorrect storage location for the task tracker. The changes ensure that the agent is accurately informed of the task tracker's dynamic file-based storage path, improving the reliability and correctness of task management operations by the agent. This involves updating prompt generation logic and associated tests to reflect the correct path.

Highlights

• Dynamic Task Tracker Path: The system prompt now dynamically injects the true storage path of the task tracker (e.g., ~/.gemini/tmp/...) instead of a static or incorrect one.
• Prompt Options and Rendering Updates: The BasePromptOptions and renderTaskTracker functions were updated to handle the dynamic path, changing the taskTracker property from a boolean to a string representing the directory path.
• PromptProvider Integration: The PromptProvider was modified to correctly retrieve and pass the dynamic project temporary tracker directory to the system prompt.
• Test Coverage and Verification: New unit tests and an evaluation test were added to verify that the system prompt accurately reflects the task tracker's storage location, and existing snapshots were updated.

Code Review

This pull request updates the task management protocol to use a dynamic file-based task tracking path instead of a hardcoded one. Changes include updating the prompt rendering logic to accept a directory string, modifying the configuration interfaces, and adding tests to verify the correct path is included in the system prompt. A review comment suggests refactoring the promptProvider.ts file to extract the repeated logic for retrieving the tracker directory into a single variable for better maintainability.

Code Review

This pull request transitions the task tracker from using a hardcoded storage path to a dynamic one retrieved from the configuration. The system prompt now correctly reflects the actual tracker directory. Feedback focuses on refactoring redundant path retrieval logic in promptProvider.ts into a local variable for better maintainability and removing the unused taskTracker property from the PlanningWorkflowOptions interface in both the modern and legacy snippet files.

Code Review

This pull request replaces the hardcoded task tracker storage path in the system prompt with a dynamic path retrieved from the environment configuration. Changes include updates to the PromptProvider to pass the directory string to prompt snippets, corresponding type changes in the snippet options, and new evaluation tests to verify the path's presence in the prompt. A security concern was raised regarding the lack of sanitization for the trackerDir variable before its interpolation into the system prompt, which could potentially allow for prompt injection if the path contains control characters.
