Title

test: unit tests for task queue (priority, retry, dead letter)

Context

PR #178 introduced a task queue with priority ordering, a dead-letter queue, and retry logic with backoff, but it did not include tests or fully expose the dequeue(), peekNext(), and retryAll() methods. This PR fulfills the acceptance criteria for issue #186 by implementing the missing methods and writing comprehensive unit tests.

Implementation Details

• Added peekNext() to lib/agent-runtime/task-queue.ts: Retrieves the highest-priority pending task without modifying its state.
• Added dequeue() to lib/agent-runtime/task-queue.ts: Uses peekNext() to get the next task and transitions its status to "leased".
• Added retryAll() to lib/agent-runtime/task-queue.ts: Iterates over the dead-letter queue and calls retryDeadLetterTask() on all failed tasks.
• Added Test Suite at lib/task-queue/__tests__/task-queue.test.ts:
  • Enqueues multiple priority levels to assert descending priority dequeue.
  • Tests equal priorities to ensure FIFO ordering.
  • Uses vi.useFakeTimers() to fast-forward through the N retry attempts and verify the task eventually moves to the dead-letter queue.
  • Verifies retryAll() accurately resets dead-letter tasks back to pending.
  • Asserts that dequeue() on an empty queue safely returns null.
  • Mocks Request objects to test both the POST /api/tasks and GET /api/tasks/[id] Next.js route handlers directly.

Verification

• Unit tests verify all 8 required behaviors using Vitest.
• Re-ran the existing suite to ensure no regressions were introduced to enqueueTask, failTask, or API routes.
• Proof: (Please remember to attach your demo video or screenshots here as per the mandatory delivery requirements before opening the PR)

closes #186

Hi @Kaycee276 👋 — the tests themselves look good (+158, clean diff, Sonar green), but the required CI fails at npm ci with ERESOLVE: your branch's lockfile resolves typescript@7.0.2, which conflicts with @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin@8.64.x (requires TS <7). main is on typescript@5.7.3 and its CI is green.

Fix: rebase your branch onto the latest main (make sure your fork's main is synced first) and don't carry over package.json/package-lock.json changes — your PR shouldn't need any. Once CI is green I'll merge right away. 🙏

Hi @leocagli
Thanks for the review! 🙏

I've pushed an update that addresses your feedback:

• Reverted the package.json and lockfile changes so they are now perfectly in sync with main (no more ESLint vs TypeScript 7.0 ERESOLVE conflicts).
• Fixed the TS1005 syntax error in lib/agent-runtime/task-queue.ts that occurred during my previous conflict resolution.

The CI should be completely green now. Let me know if anything else is needed!

Hi @Kaycee276 👋 — quick update: video/screenshots are not required to merge anymore, just a bonus — if you add one it'll be considered for GrantFox rewards on this issue. So I'll review this on code + checks alone now. 🙏
