Bug Description
Title: Task/TodoWrite tool missing from tool list after switching accounts
Summary:
After switching Claude accounts (deleted ~/.claude/.credentials.json to force re-login under a different account), the TodoWrite/TaskCreate/TaskUpdate/TaskList tool no longer appears in the available tool set — not just failing to render in the UI, the tool itself is absent from the tool list the model can call.
Environment:
- Claude Code version: 2.1.237 (auto-updated today from 2.1.235, confirmed current)
- Platform: Windows 11 Pro
- Subscription: team
- rateLimitTier: default_raven
Steps to reproduce:
- Was using Claude Code normally with the task list panel working (verified: ~/.claude/tasks/ has task data recorded across many sessions through Aug 18).
- Deleted .credentials.json and switched to a different account/model.
- Task tool no longer appears in the tool list.
Troubleshooting already done (ruled out):
- Confirmed no local disallowedTools/plugin config in settings.json blocking it
- Confirmed issue persists on a fully fresh session (not resumed — /resume was cancelled, started clean)
- Confirmed client is up to date (2.1.237)
- Account token/scopes (user:inference, user:mcp_servers, user:profile, user:sessions:claude_code, user:file_upload) look normal, nothing obviously restrictive
Expected: Task/TodoWrite tool should be available consistently regardless of which account is logged in (same plan tier).
Actual: Tool is completely absent from the tool list after the account switch.
