📋 Decision Context

Question:

How to fix the broken respondToHandoff() calls in the VSCode extension?

Task: Session 92 - Fix breaking handoff response bug

🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

Refactored respondToHandoff() to use options object pattern and removed erroneous agentId argument from all 4 call sites

Options Considered:

• No alternatives documented

💭 Reasoning

The method was refactored to auto-fetch agentId internally, but 3 call sites in main-panel.ts and 1 in commands/index.ts still passed agentId as the 2nd parameter, pushing status and other params into wrong positions. This caused every handoff response from the webview UI to send malformed data. The options object pattern is more extensible (supports declineReason, declineMessage, taskResults, recommendations) and avoids future parameter ordering bugs.
