New Metadata-Driven Subtasks In Roo

Previously, if you needed to restart VS Code or reload the window to apply an update, any active subtasks would lose their connection to the main task. The work was effectively lost. With the new Metadata-Driven Subtasks, we’ve solved this fragility. By moving the relationship state from temporary memory to persistent metadata, your agents now survive interruptions. You can close, reload, or restart your editor, and Roo Code will pick up exactly where it left off. What this solves: No more orphaned tasks after a crash or restart. Freedom to reload your window mid-task without breaking flow. Better reliability for long-running, complex operations.
