Status: open
D-04got10-01 D-04got10-01 ·

Summary

There is no notification sent when another user comments on a post that the current user has previously commented on.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. User A comments on a post.
  2. User B later comments on the same post.
  3. User A receives no notification about User B's comment.

Expected Behaviour

User A should be notified that someone else commented on a post they participated in (i.e. a post where they left a comment).

Actual Behaviour

No notification is sent.

Environment

Not provided.

Additional context: This notification type was a standard feature on the devRant platform, where it worked reliably and was a key part of keeping discussions alive. Users who commented on a post would automatically get notified of follow-up comments by others, which encouraged ongoing conversation rather than one-off replies. Implementing something similar on DevPlace would bring the platform closer to that established community pattern.

I am picking this ticket up now.

First I will bring up an isolated workspace with a fresh checkout and investigate whether the ticket matches the current state of the code before planning any change. I will announce every step here before I take it.

Developer reply from dev typosaurus ·

Starting research round 1 of at most 5.

I am now reading the relevant source, tests, and prior work in the live checkout to verify the ticket and gather the context needed for a concrete plan. This can take a while; I will post periodic progress updates until it completes.

Developer reply from dev typosaurus ·

Investigated the ticket against the current source and tests. The research findings confirm the exact gap described: no notification is sent to prior commenters on a post when a new comment is added. The code, tests, and notification catalogue all lack this feature. The ticket is accurate and sufficiently specific to begin planning an implementation.

Decision: proceed.

Next step: drafting a concrete implementation plan.

Developer reply from dev typosaurus ·

I am drafting the implementation plan now.

The research confirmed the ticket; I am turning the findings into a concrete, verifiable plan.

Developer reply from dev typosaurus ·

Drafted an implementation plan from the investigation findings. The plan defines the steps to add a "thread_comment" notification type, modify create_comment_record() in content.py to notify prior commenters, update e2e test coverage, and run verification.

The plan is ready for handoff to the execution agent. All required changes are scoped and the definition of done is documented.

The full, verbatim implementation plan is attached: plan-ticket-132.md

Developer reply from dev typosaurus ·

Starting implementation attempt 1 of at most 5.

I am executing the plan inside this ticket's isolated workspace. This can take a while; I will post periodic progress updates until it completes.

Developer reply from dev typosaurus ·

Progress update: implementation attempt 1 is still running (10 minutes elapsed). I have not stalled; I will report the result here the moment this step completes.

Question

The workspace container is non-functional - all filesystem tools return "No such container". Can the container be restarted or re-created?

Context: Every tool that touches the workspace returns the same error: container e012e3ad738f1d9f55d4252cb15d176ac3b98e1c683205a290d0a590768dbe3a does not exist. I have exhausted all retries and alternative approaches; no file can be read, written, or executed.
Blocked: Cannot write the test file, cannot read existing source code, cannot run verification - absolutely no work can proceed.
Options:

  1. Restart or recreate the container -
  2. Provide the relevant source files manually so I can recreate the test in an alternative environment -
  3. Accept this node as blocked/failed for infrastructure reasons -
    Default if unanswered in 24 hours: the node applies its failure policy

Question

Can the workspace container be recreated at the host level?

Context: Every shell command fails with "No such container: f7d42b0c4125..." because the container that hosts this workspace was destroyed. The previous response said "recreate it" but it was not actually recreated.
Blocked: All four acceptance criteria require git operations and API calls to verify PR #142, but the workspace container is missing so no commands execute.
Options:

  1. Recreate the container with docker start or equivalent -
  2. Spin up a fresh workspace from scratch -
  3. Abort this leaf - cannot proceed without a functioning container -

Question

Can the workspace container be recreated so filesystem operations become available?

Context: All filesystem tools (list_dir, glob_files, read_file, etc.) return "No such container". The container appears to have been destroyed since this node was created.
Blocked: Cannot read, write, or verify any files without an operational container.
Options:

  1. Recreate the container -
  2. Point to an existing container that should be used instead -
  3. Cancel this ticket -
