From ac51dd46cc0dc52b9367040aafb66902b99bc93b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Jaroslav=20Bene=C5=A1?= Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 12:20:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] A personality belongs to a person MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Owner's correction to 1.4.0: a model's character is per (model, person), and only the description and the notes stay instance-wide. Two people talking to one model are not talking to the same personality, and neither can see the other's. The administrator's box becomes the DEFAULT, resolved by `personas.effective` as a fallback and never as a layer -- two personalities at once contradict each other with nothing to say which is losing, which is the reasoning behind "system prompts replace, never stack". `persona_write` takes no argument naming a model or a person; both come from the ToolContext, so it can only write the character it has with whoever it is talking to, and it never touches the default. Impressions move to their own table. Not a `kind` column: 1.4.0 shipped `UNIQUE(model_key, owner_id)`, SQLite cannot alter a constraint and this schema is additive-only, so a discriminator would leave an upgraded instance unable to hold both rows for one pair. That leaves the first MANUAL_STEPS entry this project has had -- the two shapes are indistinguishable, so nothing rewrites them: a repair would be guessing at text that is read back in the first person. TWO BUGS FROM A PHONE `min-width` beats both `width` and `max-width` -- CSS clamps width to max-width and then raises the result to min-width -- so `.canvas` and `.terminal` were 384px wide on every screen narrower than that, their `min(…, 100vw)` cap overruled, and `.inspector` had no cap at all on a width that is a preference draggable to 2400px. None of it scrolled sideways, because all three are `position: fixed` and fixed overflow does not extend the scrollable area -- which is exactly why the 1.1.0 narrow pass reported these pages clean. `min-width: 0` in the overlay query, full width below the phone breakpoint, tablet column kept. And the install button now says why it is absent. Measured against the live instance: the manifest meets every Chrome criterion and the blocker is a certificate from a private CA, so the origin is not trustworthy, the service worker is refused and no install is offered. `base.html` had been swallowing that with an empty catch -- which kept the page working, the reason it was there, and threw away the only evidence. It now records the outcome and `app.js` turns it into a sentence naming the certificate, which is the cause the old hint did not mention.
