Jaroslav BenešandClaude Opus 5 fb54a236ae News that finds you, including when nothing of ours is open
The dots covered Reports and Messages from the day those sections existed. The
announcement did not: only a chat reply produced an HX-Trigger, so a scheduled
run that filed a report or posted into Messages lit a green dot in a corner and
said nothing at all. That is precisely the arrival nobody is watching for -- a
chat reply is one you asked for a moment ago and are probably looking at.

So every kind announces, each with its own once-only flag, and the payload is a
list of items rather than of titles, because a notification is a thing you click
and a title cannot say where.

One arrival, three channels, and they must not all fire. A toast for somebody
looking at the page; a count in the tab title while it is hidden, cleared on
focus; a system notification for somebody elsewhere entirely. The service worker
is the only place that can tell them apart -- the server cannot see whether a
window is focused and the page cannot see a push it did not receive -- so it
stays quiet when one of its own windows has focus.

And web push, hand-rolled against RFC 8291 and RFC 8292 with the cryptography
already here for Fernet. It exists because everything else is polled by an open
page, and the arrival worth interrupting somebody for is a schedule firing at
seven in the morning with the laptop shut.

The trade is real and is written down rather than glossed: the POST goes to
Google's or Mozilla's push service, the payload is sealed end to end so they
cannot read it, and what they do learn is that this server sent something and
when. Opt-in per device, off until asked for, and the rest of the system works
without it. Nothing else in LLeMbas contacts an outside service on its own.

The encryption is tested by decrypting it back with an independent
implementation of the specification's other half. There is no other way to know:
a push service accepts the POST and forwards bytes it cannot read, so a wrong
derivation is a notification that never appears, with a 201 in the log.

Jaroslav BenešandClaude Opus 5 b6cea42631 A directory the model knows about, and @ to name a file in it
An agent chat used to open with the model knowing the name of a machine and
nothing about what was on it, so the first two rounds of every reply went on
finding out. It now gets a listing: one read-only command, `git ls-files` where
that works and `find` otherwise, falling back to an SFTP walk that always does.
git first because a repository already carries somebody's considered list of
what is not part of the project, and reproducing it by hand is how an index
ends up mostly build output.

The listing is budgeted rather than dumped. A tree of a thousand files is worse
than no tree -- it costs the window on every request forever and buries the four
names that mattered -- so directories that will not fit are shown as a count and
the model is told to open one itself. Collapsing picks the deepest and largest
first: by saving alone it would take `src/` before `src/web/static/vendor/`,
because it contains it, and lose every name worth having.

Read from a cache and never fetched. `harness.context_variables` is synchronous
and sits on the request path; the walk happens in the generation setup, which is
async and already doing network work, with a short wait. A chat whose first
reply outruns its first walk simply has no listing that turn and the fragment
disappears rather than appearing as an empty heading.

Then `@`, over the same index and over the library, and `/` for commands with an
Alt-based keyboard for the same jobs. A mentioned file arrives as contents, not
a reference -- a small model asked to call file_read often does not bother -- and
it arrives with its absolute path and the machine it came from, because a model
handed `main.py` cannot tell which of four it is and cannot name it back when
asked to change something.

The rule that matters for `/`: a message that merely starts with a slash still
sends. `//` escapes and an unrecognised command is posted as written. Swallowing
somebody's message is a much worse failure than an unknown command.

Two exceptions to Manual mode now, not one. Browsing and indexing are a person
acting, not a model, so neither passes through policy.py -- the same argument
the terminal panel rests on.

Jaroslav BenešandClaude Opus 5 5117168454 A terminal panel beside an agent chat
A real shell on the chat's own connection, opened and closed like the
inspector and never beside it. The modes govern the model; what a person
types is theirs, since they hold the credential and could open the same
shell with an ssh client. The model cannot see the panel -- a button
copies the output you choose into the composer.

The session outlives the socket: closing the panel leaves a build
running, and coming back reattaches with the scrollback. Two tabs share
one shell and the smaller window decides the size. It ends on an idle
timeout, on deleting the chat, on disabling, moving or deleting the
connection, and on a restart -- which says why rather than quietly
opening a fresh shell that has lost the working directory.

The nginx template's `Connection ""` is right for SSE and fails every
WebSocket handshake, so `location /` now uses a `map $http_upgrade`;
update.sh grows a drift check for it, because the only symptom on a
stale vhost is a panel that cannot connect.

Jaroslav BenešandClaude Opus 4.8 7456525d19 PWA, one send/stop button, audio in and out, web search as a tool
Four pieces of work.

**Installable.** A manifest carrying the instance name, PWA icons rasterised
from the existing mark at design time, a service worker and a themed offline
page. The worker caches the shell only and bails out on /api/, /auth/, /admin/
and anything accepting text/event-stream -- passing a reply stream through a
worker turns it into one delivery at the end, or nothing. It is served from
GET /sw.js rather than the static mount because a worker's scope is the path it
came from.

**Send and Stop are one button.** They were two, and the hidden one was never
hidden: `.btn` is display: inline-flex, which outranks the browser's own
`[hidden] { display: none }`, so Stop sat permanently beside Send. app.css now
forces the attribute to win -- every control toggled with `hidden` depended on
that -- and the composer renders one button carrying both icons, with ui.js
flipping data-composer-action and the type with it.

**Audio.** Speech to text and text to speech against any OpenAI-shaped
/v1/audio/* endpoint: dictate into the composer, have a reply read out.
Instance settings in Admin, per-reader overrides in Settings, with the voice
list discovered from the server where it offers one. Recorded audio is capped
and never written to disk -- it is not an attachment, it has no owner, and
nothing would ever sweep it.

**Web search, as a tool.** This is the tool loop PLAN.md described as the real
work: one reply is now a bounded sequence of requests rather than one. The model
asks, the tool runs, the result goes back and it is asked again, up to three
rounds. Providers are DuckDuckGo (no setup), SearXNG and Firecrawl.

Two decisions worth stating. Tools are only offered to models flagged `tools`,
because an endpoint without support rejects the whole request rather than
ignoring the array -- the same reason images only reach models flagged
`vision`. And tool results are not replayed as context on the next turn, for the
same reasons reasoning is not: the answer already contains what the model made
of them, and replaying stale results into every later request wastes the window
and reliably sends a small model into a search loop. The sources stay visible in
the transcript instead.

Search results are untrusted third-party text and are treated as such: escaped,
and only http/https URLs rendered as links.

338 tests, ruff clean.
