Agent Tasks No Longer Get Stuck on a Leftover Branch

Summary

Effigate Command Center's automatic task branching is now more reliable when tasks run back-to-back in the same project. A task that finishes can sometimes leave its own branch in place; the next task now recognizes that and switches away from it automatically, instead of silently falling back to a slower, less predictable way of starting work.

What You Gain

When one task finished and the next task started moments later in the same project, the system occasionally found itself sitting on the branch the previous task had just created. Rather than risk touching a branch a person might have intentionally left checked out, it played it safe and backed off — which meant the new task didn't get the clean, automatic start it was supposed to.

Now the system can tell the difference between a branch it created for a finished task and a branch a person is actually using. If it recognizes the branch as one of its own leftovers, it switches away from it automatically so the next task can begin on solid footing. Anything that looks like deliberate human work is still left alone.

How It Works

• Each new task checks whether the project is sitting on a branch left behind by a previous, already-finished task.
• If it is, the system switches to the right starting point automatically — no action needed from you.
• If the branch looks like something a person is actively working in, it's left exactly as is.
• This applies every time tasks run one after another in the same project, with no extra setup.

Where to Find It

This runs automatically for every project with agent-assigned tasks — there's nothing to turn on. You'll simply notice tasks starting cleanly even when they follow right after another task finished.
