Summary of Changes

Hello @flex-myeonghyeon, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a bug where metadata associated with task artifacts was not being correctly merged when an artifact was updated. The changes introduce functionality to combine metadata from existing and incoming artifact updates, ensuring that all relevant metadata is preserved and available on the updated artifact. This enhances the robustness of artifact management by preventing unintended metadata loss during updates.

Highlights

• Metadata Merging: Implemented logic within the appendArtifactToTask utility method to correctly merge metadata from both existing and new artifacts when updating a task artifact, ensuring no data loss.
• Test Coverage: Added new test cases to TaskManagerTest to verify that artifact metadata is properly merged and retained during the appendArtifactToTask operation, confirming the fix behaves as expected.

Code Review

This pull request adds functionality to merge artifact metadata when appending to an existing artifact. The implementation in Utils.java correctly merges the metadata from the existing and new artifacts, and new tests in TaskManagerTest.java verify this behavior. My review includes a suggestion to improve the robustness of the implementation by ensuring the resulting metadata map is immutable, which aligns with the intended immutable nature of Artifact records.

Code Review

This pull request correctly implements the merging of metadata when appending an artifact to a task, and includes corresponding tests. However, I've found a subtle issue in the metadata merging logic that could change a null metadata value to an empty map, which might be an unintended side effect. I've provided a suggestion to align the behavior with what appears to be the convention elsewhere in the codebase, ensuring null is preserved when no metadata is being merged.

[gemini-code-assist]

The current logic for merging metadata creates an empty HashMap even if both the existing and new artifacts have null metadata. This changes the semantic meaning from null to an empty map, which could lead to unexpected behavior if other parts of the system treat them differently. The suggested change ensures that the merged metadata is null if and only if both input metadata maps are null, which is more robust and consistent.

            Map<String, Object> mergedMetadata = null;
            if (existingArtifact.metadata() != null || newArtifact.metadata() != null) {
                mergedMetadata = new HashMap<>();
                if (existingArtifact.metadata() != null) {
                    mergedMetadata.putAll(existingArtifact.metadata());
                }
                if (newArtifact.metadata() != null) {
                    mergedMetadata.putAll(newArtifact.metadata());
                }
            }

            Artifact updated = Artifact.builder(existingArtifact)
                    .parts(parts)
                    .metadata(mergedMetadata)
