Louis Knight-Webb 947cb53f44 Edit branch name (vibe-kanban) (#1182)
* ##  Implementation Complete!

I've successfully implemented the branch name editing feature. Here's what was added:

### **Backend Changes**

1. **Database Model** ([task_attempt.rs](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/crates/db/src/models/task_attempt.rs#L407-L421))
   - Added `update_branch_name()` method to update the branch field

2. **Git Service** ([git.rs](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/crates/services/src/services/git.rs#L1508-L1526))
   - Added `rename_local_branch()` to handle actual Git branch renaming using libgit2

3. **API Endpoint** ([task_attempts.rs](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/crates/server/src/routes/task_attempts.rs#L1111-L1196))
   - Added `POST /task-attempts/{id}/rename-branch` endpoint
   - **Validation:** empty names, Git name validity, duplicates, active rebase, open PRs
   - **Flow:** validate → ensure worktree → rename in git → update DB → track analytics

### **Frontend Changes**

4. **API Client** ([api.ts](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/frontend/src/lib/api.ts#L533-L546))
   - Added `renameBranch()` method

5. **Actions Menu** ([ActionsDropdown.tsx](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/frontend/src/components/ui/ActionsDropdown.tsx#L93-L102))
   - Added "Edit Branch Name" menu item

6. **Dialog Component** ([EditBranchNameDialog.tsx](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/frontend/src/components/dialogs/tasks/EditBranchNameDialog.tsx))
   - Text input with validation
   - Shows backend errors
   - Auto-refreshes data on success

### **Key Features**
 Renames actual Git branch (not just DB)
 Blocks when open PR exists
 Blocks during active rebase
 Validates branch name format
 Prevents duplicate branch names
 Analytics tracking
 All checks pass

The feature is now ready to use from the task attempt dropdown menu!

* Cleanup script changes for task attempt 98509988-cc54-4336-a94a-fb43c16a8235

* ##  Cache Invalidation Fix Complete!

I've updated [EditBranchNameDialog.tsx](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/frontend/src/components/dialogs/tasks/EditBranchNameDialog.tsx#L59-L71) to invalidate all relevant query keys after renaming a branch.

### What Changed
The dialog now invalidates **5 query keys** instead of just 2:

1.  `['taskAttempt', attemptId]` - **Main fix** for DiffsPanel
2.  `['attempt', attemptId]` - Legacy compatibility
3.  `['attemptBranch', attemptId]` - Branch-specific data
4.  `['branchStatus', attemptId]` - Git operations panel
5.  `['taskAttempts']` - Attempts list in TaskPanel

### Result
Now when you rename a branch, **all components immediately show the new name**:
-  DiffsPanel (branch name in Git operations toolbar)
-  TaskPanel (attempts list)
-  GitOperations component
-  Any other component displaying the attempt data

**No page reload needed!** All checks pass.

* ##  Refactored to Use Hook Pattern!

I've successfully extracted the mutation logic into a proper `useRenameBranch` hook following the codebase's established patterns.

### Changes Made

**1. Created new hook:** [useRenameBranch.ts](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/frontend/src/hooks/useRenameBranch.ts)
- Uses `useMutation` from TanStack Query
- Handles cache invalidation internally
- Provides callbacks for success/error handling
- Follows the same pattern as `useChangeTargetBranch`, `useMerge`, `usePush`

**2. Simplified EditBranchNameDialog:**
- Removed manual API call and cache invalidation
- Removed local `isLoading` state (uses `mutation.isPending` instead)
- Removed `queryClient` import
- Much cleaner and more focused on UI

**3. Updated hooks exports:** [index.ts](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/frontend/src/hooks/index.ts#L7)

### Before vs After

**Before (inline mutation):**
- 40+ lines of try/catch, API calls, and invalidation logic
- Manual loading state management
- Hard to test, hard to reuse

**After (hook-based):**
- ~10 lines in dialog
- Hook encapsulates all mutation logic
- Reusable, testable, consistent with codebase

### Benefits
 **Consistency** - Matches existing patterns (useChangeTargetBranch, useMerge, etc.)
 **Reusability** - Can be used anywhere branch renaming is needed
 **Testability** - Hook can be unit tested separately
 **Maintainability** - Single source of truth for invalidation logic
 **Cleaner Dialog** - Dialog focuses purely on UI concerns

All checks pass!

* Cleanup script changes for task attempt 98509988-cc54-4336-a94a-fb43c16a8235

* ##  i18n Check Complete!

All internationalization issues have been resolved:

### Fixed Issues

**1. Missing translation keys** - Added to all locales (en, es, ja, ko):
- `actionsMenu.editBranchName`

**2. Hardcoded strings in EditBranchNameDialog** - Now using translation keys:
- Dialog title → `t('editBranchName.dialog.title')`
- Dialog description → `t('editBranchName.dialog.description')`
- Branch name label → `t('editBranchName.dialog.branchNameLabel')`
- Placeholder text → `t('editBranchName.dialog.placeholder')`
- "Renaming..." → `t('editBranchName.dialog.renaming')`
- "Rename Branch" → `t('editBranchName.dialog.action')`

### Translations Added

**English:** "Edit branch name"
**Spanish (es):** "Editar nombre de rama"
**Japanese (ja):** "ブランチ名を編集"
**Korean (ko):** "브랜치 이름 편집"

### Results
 **No new literal strings introduced**
 **No duplicate keys found**
 **Translation keys consistent across all locales**
 **All type checks pass**

The feature is now fully internationalized and ready for users in all supported languages!

* ##  Child Task Updates Complete!

I've successfully implemented the fix to update child task attempts when renaming a branch.

### What Was Added

**1. Database Helper** ([task_attempt.rs](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/crates/db/src/models/task_attempt.rs#L422-L445))
- Added `update_target_branch_for_children_of_attempt()` method
- Uses single scoped SQL UPDATE with subquery
- Only affects attempts for direct child tasks
- Returns count of updated attempts

**2. Rename Branch Endpoint** ([task_attempts.rs](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/crates/server/src/routes/task_attempts.rs#L1219-L1239))
- Stores old branch name before update
- After renaming, updates all child task attempts
- Logs count of updated children
- Tracks updated count in analytics

### How It Works

**Scenario:**
1. Parent attempt has branch `feature/old`
2. User creates 2 subtasks from parent attempt
3. Subtask attempts inherit `target_branch = "feature/old"`
4. Parent branch renamed to `feature/new`
5.  Both subtask attempts automatically get `target_branch = "feature/new"`

**SQL Query:**
```sql
UPDATE task_attempts
SET target_branch = 'feature/new'
WHERE target_branch = 'feature/old'
  AND task_id IN (
    SELECT id FROM tasks
    WHERE parent_task_attempt = parent_attempt_id
  )
```

### What's Updated
 `target_branch` for all attempts of direct child tasks
 Only when it matches the old branch name
 Scoped by parent-child relationship (via `parent_task_attempt` FK)

### What's NOT Updated
 Unrelated attempts that happen to use same branch name
 Child attempts' own `branch` field (they have their own branches)
 GitHub PR bases (would need GitHub API call)

### Result
 Child task attempts continue to work correctly after parent branch rename
 Efficient single-query update
 Safe scoping prevents unintended changes
 All checks pass

* ##  Analytics & Types Fixed!

### Changes Made

**1. Analytics Anonymity** ([task_attempts.rs](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/crates/server/src/routes/task_attempts.rs#L1240-L1248))
- Removed `old_branch` and `new_branch` from analytics event
- Now only tracks: `attempt_id` and `updated_children` (anonymous)

**2. Type Export** ([generate_types.rs](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/crates/server/src/bin/generate_types.rs#L51-L52))
- Added `RenameBranchRequest::decl()` and `RenameBranchResponse::decl()`
- Types now exported to [shared/types.ts](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/shared/types.ts)

**3. Frontend Type Usage** ([api.ts](file:///private/var/folders/m1/9q_ct1913z10v6wbnv54j25r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/9850-edit-branch-name/frontend/src/lib/api.ts#L49-L50))
- Imported `RenameBranchRequest` and `RenameBranchResponse` from shared types
- Changed signature from `Promise<{ branch: string }>` to `Promise<RenameBranchResponse>`
- Uses properly typed request payload

### Results
 **Anonymous analytics** - No branch names (PII) sent
 **Type-safe** - Frontend/backend use same shared types
 **Consistent** - Matches pattern of other API methods
 **All checks pass** - TypeScript, Rust, and i18n

* ##  Analytics Now Fully Anonymous!

Removed `attempt_id` from the analytics event. Now the event only tracks:
```json
{
  "updated_children": 0
}
```

Fully anonymous - no IDs, no branch names, no PII. Just aggregate counts for usage metrics.

All checks pass!

AI coding agents are increasingly writing the world's code and human engineers now spend the majority of their time planning, reviewing, and orchestrating tasks. Vibe Kanban streamlines this process, enabling you to:

  • Easily switch between different coding agents
  • Orchestrate the execution of multiple coding agents in parallel or in sequence
  • Quickly review work and start dev servers
  • Track the status of tasks that your coding agents are working on
  • Centralise configuration of coding agent MCP configs
  • Open projects remotely via SSH when running Vibe Kanban on a remote server

You can watch a video overview here.

Installation

Make sure you have authenticated with your favourite coding agent. A full list of supported coding agents can be found in the docs. Then in your terminal run:

npx vibe-kanban
