π οΈ DevLog β Improved Task Tracking with clientReference Support
During the ongoing Mini Hackathon, we surfaced an issue in the user task flow: under high traffic, it was difficult for clients to reliably match submitted tasks with their respective responses - especially when multiple users submitted tasks in quick succession.
πΉ What Was the Problem?
The current submit() function doesn't return a task ID, and under heavy load, event listeners alone weren't enough to guarantee reliable tracking - leading to edge cases where responses were mismatched between users.
πΉ The Fix: clientReference Parameter
We're updating the contract to include an optional clientReference string in the submit() function. This value:
- Gets emitted in a new TaskSubmitted event
- Helps the client correlate the task submission with its eventual response
- Enables safer UX and real-time tracking during heavy usage
πΉ Whatβs Next?
- The updated Session contract with clientReference support will be deployed later today
- Clients, bots, and frontends can pass a UUID, timestamp, or other string reference during task submission to identify their task
π This improvement strengthens the reliability of user task handling and was directly inspired by feedback and testing during the Mini Hackathon.
