Start an agent task on Wi-Fi. Lock the phone, switch to cellular, dismiss a notification, reopen the client, and discover that the repository changed while you were away.
Did the task continue, pause, fail, or complete? Can you recover without guessing?
Cloud-agent notifications and conflict handling are current mobile developer-tool hotspots. This is an acceptance protocol for MonkeyCode SaaS, not a hands-on result.
Record the environment
device: "<exact model>"
os: "<exact version>"
client: "<native app or mobile browser/version>"
network: "Wi-Fi -> cellular -> offline"
battery: "<percentage and low-power mode>"
notification_permission: "<state>"
authentication: "active, then expire during test"
task: "synthetic non-sensitive requirement"
MonkeyCode's README documents native mobile support, but that label does not prove offline behavior, push delivery, background execution, or supported OS versions.
Run the lifecycle matrix
| Transition | Expected evidence |
|---|---|
| Foreground → background | Stable task ID and last-known state |
| Lock → reopen | Authoritative state can be fetched |
| Wi-Fi → cellular | Stale state labeled or refreshed |
| Online → offline | Controls do not pretend success |
| Offline → online | No silent overwrite or duplicate action |
| Notification → task | Exact task opens |
| Auth expires | Reauthentication returns to context |
| Repository conflict | Conflict and safe next action visible |
| Process killed | Relaunch restores, not restarts, task |
Save timestamps for each transition, notification, reopen, refresh, and recovery.
Treat notifications as hints, not truth:
notification -> open stable task ID -> fetch server state
-> compare state -> offer current safe actions
Also inspect lock-screen privacy. Does a preview reveal requirement text, filenames, or generated content under each OS preview setting?
Create one controlled repository change while the client is backgrounded. On return, the interface should not report uncomplicated success or blindly retry. “Save for desktop review” is a valid outcome when the state remains durable.
Stop if task identity is unclear, retry may merge/deploy/delete, replay duplicates actions, secrets appear, or login returns to another task.
MonkeyCode's online service, managed environments, task management, and documented mobile support make it relevant for this test. Try the SaaS with a disposable repository if continuing work away from a desk matters to you.

On which device, OS, and transition did your task recover, restart, duplicate, or disappear?
