feat(062): distinguish task boards, tasks and task replies in contribution-events

[bobbykolev]

What & why

Task boards, tasks and task replies now emit their own contribution-event types, so Kibana can tell a Tasks board apart from an ordinary Posts callout, a task apart from a post, and a reply-to-a-task apart from a reply-to-a-post.

Today all six collapse into CALLOUT_CREATED / CALLOUT_POST_CREATED / CALLOUT_POST_COMMENT_CREATED, because a Tasks board is an ordinary POSTS callout whose classification carries the reserved task tagset (workspace spec 042-kanban-task-board). Every board inflates the callout count, every task inflates the post count, and every task discussion inflates post engagement, with no field on the indexed document to filter on afterwards.

Purely additive instrumentation on paths that already report. No new table, no migration, no GraphQL schema change, no activity-feed change, no notification change, no new reporter document fields.

Fixes #6451 · workspace spec workspace#062-task-board-analytics

The three branches

Event	Site	Semantics
TASK_BOARD_CREATED	callouts.set.resolver.mutations.ts	in addition to CALLOUT_CREATED, mirroring the CALLOUT_POLL_CREATED precedent; name = callout nameID
TASK_CREATED	callout.resolver.mutations.ts → processActivityPostCreated	instead of CALLOUT_POST_CREATED
TASK_COMMENT_CREATED	room.service.events.ts → processActivityPostComment	instead of CALLOUT_POST_COMMENT_CREATED

TASK_CREATED branches on the contribution's own classification (not the callout's), read from the in-memory marker buildTaskClassification already produced — zero added queries on the task-creation path. The comment path widens the existing getCalloutWithPostContributionForRoom load rather than adding a round-trip.

Capture-before-save

The task marker is read from the object returned by createContributionOnCallout before the resolver reassigns contribution from save(). Had it been read after, a future change to TypeORM's cascade behaviour could silently drop the classification and flip every task back to being counted as a post — a regression that would look like normal traffic. A dedicated test mocks save() to resolve a classification-stripped object and asserts TASK_CREATED still fires.

---

⚠️ Deliberate series break (FR-011) — read before merging

TASK_CREATED and TASK_COMMENT_CREATED replace CALLOUT_POST_CREATED and CALLOUT_POST_COMMENT_CREATED for tasks; they are not emitted alongside. This is the behaviour issue #6451 recommended, and its objection window closed with zero comments.

Consequences, stated plainly:

• On deploy day, every dashboard, saved search, alert and scheduled report aggregating on type: CALLOUT_POST_CREATED or type: CALLOUT_POST_COMMENT_CREATED steps down by however much of that volume was actually tasks. Task boards already shipped (feature 042), so this volume is live, not hypothetical.
• Historical data cannot be backfilled from Elasticsearch alone. Already-indexed documents carry no board marker; a backfill would need a Postgres join on callout_contribution.classificationId → tagset named task. Not recommended, not attempted.

Required at deploy: record the production deploy date here and in the release notes as the break point for those two series.

Deploy date (fill at deploy): ____-__-__

⚠️ Downstream follow-up required in the same window (FR-012)

The new types will render with blank labels in Kibana until contributionstype-labels gains three rows and the enrich policy is re-executed (POST /_enrich/policy/contribution-type-enrich-policy/_execute — there is no cronjob). It fails silently: the enrich processor has no on_failure branch and the following rename is ignore_missing: true, so an unmatched type simply produces a document with no contributionType field. No error, no log line, just a blank column.

That work lives in the private alkem-io/reporting-orchestration repo and is deliberately out of scope here. Follow-up filed: alkem-io/reporting-orchestration#17 (private repo — the rows are TASK_BOARD_CREATED→"Task Board Created", TASK_CREATED→"Task Created", TASK_COMMENT_CREATED→"Task Commented", in .scripts/contribution-events/contributionstype-labels-index-content).

Evidence

Live verification against a real Elasticsearch index (forge-owned 8.12.2 sidecar), server booted from this branch — 10 of 11 acceptance scenarios verified on live documents:

Scenario	Result
task w/ explicit column → TASK_CREATED, zero CALLOUT_POST_CREATED	✅
task w/ default column → TASK_CREATED	✅
ordinary post → CALLOUT_POST_CREATED, zero TASK_CREATED	✅ regression side
task on a draft board → no event at all	✅
Tasks board → CALLOUT_CREATED + TASK_BOARD_CREATED	✅
ordinary callout → CALLOUT_CREATED only	✅ regression side
poll callout → CALLOUT_CREATED + CALLOUT_POLL_CREATED, zero TASK_BOARD_CREATED	✅ precedent untouched
draft board → TASK_BOARD_CREATED still recorded (visibility parity)	✅
comment on a task → TASK_COMMENT_CREATED, zero CALLOUT_POST_COMMENT_CREATED	✅
comment on ordinary post → CALLOUT_POST_COMMENT_CREATED, zero TASK_COMMENT_CREATED	✅ regression side
unresolvable actor → no reporting at all	unit-verified (not reachable via the API)

Absence assertions were made only after that walk's positive control landed, so none are vacuous.

Gates: lint · 9245 unit tests · build · schema-identity gate (schema.graphql byte-identical after regeneration — mechanical proof of zero GraphQL contract change, FR-009).

Review: 4-dimension adversarial panel (correctness · spec-compliance · quality · security) + two-lens verification of every finding. 0 confirmed findings. Security verdict: pass (SOC 2 CC7.2/CC8.1, ISO 27001 A.8.16/A.8.32 — the only security note is this documented series break). Two low-severity advisories were fixed rather than shipped: both were ticked task checkboxes whose test assertions were missing, each mutation-proven to let a real regression pass green. Test-only, no production code touched.

Post-review: three scoped drift re-reviews (each fix re-arms the gate) — all clean. Scoped live regression re-run after the fixes: 202 tests + live P1 smoke, green.

Out of scope (filed separately, not scope-crept)

TASK_MOVED from moveTaskToColumn · a column field on task documents (needs an index-template edit — declare it keyword, not dynamic) · column CRUD events · defects #5447 and #5885.

Walkthrough

The change adds task-specific contribution events for task boards, tasks, and task comments. Task classification is loaded before reporting, and ordinary callout events remain unchanged. Tests cover creation, comments, persistence, activity, notifications, subscriptions, and Elasticsearch documents.

Task event contracts and reporters src/services/external/elasticsearch/types/contribution.type.ts, src/services/external/elasticsearch/events/task/*, src/services/external/elasticsearch/events/index.ts, src/services/external/elasticsearch/contribution-reporter/*	Adds task board, task, and task comment event types, public aliases, reporter methods, and Elasticsearch indexing tests.
Task classification and contribution loading src/domain/collaboration/callout/task-board/*, src/services/infrastructure/entity-resolver/room.resolver.service.*	Adds TaskBoardService.isTask and loads contribution classification tagsets for task detection.
Task board and task creation reporting src/domain/collaboration/callouts-set/*, src/domain/collaboration/callout/callout.resolver.mutations.*	Reports task board creation separately and selects taskCreated before persistence for task posts. Ordinary posts retain calloutPostCreated.
Task comment reporting src/domain/communication/room/*, src/services/event-handlers/internal/message-inbox/message.notification.service.*	Passes the resolved contribution into comment activity processing and selects taskCommentCreated for task contributions. Tests cover task, ordinary, and empty-actor cases.
