Three things that said one thing and did another
All three shipped in the last two commits, and all three are the same kind of mistake: an interface that looks right and is not. The folder settings page could not be scrolled. `.main` is a flex column with `min-height: 0`, so a `.page` dropped straight into it overflows the viewport with nothing to scroll -- Save and Back end up below the bottom of the window, reachable by zooming out or by dragging the prompt textarea up out of the way. Every other page of this shape already wraps its content in `.admin-scroll`; this one did not. The two class names that scroll are one rule in admin.css precisely so this is a wrapper somebody forgot rather than a value they got wrong, and now it is noted. The project directory was a text box, on the one screen that asks for an absolute path on another machine. It is the same button-and-hidden-field the new-chat screen uses, wired by `[data-dir-field]` in ui.js -- scoped to that attribute so this and the composer's own handler cannot both answer one click and open two dialogs. The composer keeps its own because it does more: it follows the selected profile's default directory until somebody picks their own, which only means something while a chat is being created. With no connection chosen it says so rather than opening onto nothing, and Clear is always there, because browsing somewhere and changing your mind before saving needs a way back to "no opinion" as much as clearing a saved one does. And "New chat" did not follow the Chat/Agent switch. The button sits above the scroll area rather than inside the tree the switch swaps, so it went on saying "New chat" over a list of agent chats. It moves to its own partial and arrives out of band, the way the chat title already does. Renaming it to something neutral would have hidden the bug rather than fixed it, and would have cost the `?kind=agent` preselection the label is there to explain. The tests that existed asserted a page load, which re-renders the button anyway -- which is exactly why nobody saw it. The new ones assert the fragment. The directory field was driven under a DOM stub first. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

A folder that carries something, and a way to name one
A folder was a name and nothing else -- and not even that, since PATCH could rename one and nothing in the interface ever called it. It now carries a description, a system prompt, and seeds for the model, the kind and the agent target, with a settings page behind the row. The prompt is a fourth rung on the ladder, chat > folder > model > instance, and it goes above the model deliberately: a model's prompt describes the model wherever it is used, a folder's describes this piece of work whichever model is pointed at it. It is read when a reply is built rather than copied when a chat is made, so editing it reaches the chats already there, and the walk up the parents is bounded and cycle-safe because it runs on the request path. `api/pages.py` mirrors the ladder for the settings panel and had to gain the same rung -- a panel naming the wrong source is worse than one naming none, because it is believed. The seeds fill in what the request left empty and nothing it filled in: the folder says what this work usually needs, the screen in front of somebody says what they want this time. `ssh_profile_id` is a plain string rather than a foreign key, for the reason `compacted_through_id` is, so it is validated on read. Getting *into* a folder needed fixing too. `/api/chats/start` has accepted a folder_id since folders existed and nothing ever sent one, so the only route in was to make the chat elsewhere and move it. There is a New chat here on the row now, and `?folder=` on the new-chat screen. Naming is a themed dialog, and deliberately not htmx's hx-prompt: htmx calls the browser's prompt() synchronously and only then fires htmx:prompt with the answer already in hand, so intercepting the event cannot supply a different one and the grey box appears anyway. `data-prompt` follows the data-confirm-button shape instead -- swallow the click, ask, write the answer into hx-vals, click again behind a guard. JSON.stringify rather than concatenation, or a folder called `"` produces hx-vals that does not parse and the rename silently does nothing. Driven under a DOM stub, and there is a test that no template brings hx-prompt back. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

The composer decides what a chat is, and the topbar stops trying
The mode select in the topbar posted with hx-post against a route that only answers PATCH, so every change returned 405 and the mode never moved. htmx shows nothing when a request fails, so the control looked like it worked: the select stayed where you put it and the server ignored you. It has never worked. Two more of the same kind. A mode could not be chosen at all until the chat existed, so reaching Plan meant sending something in Manual first and letting the model answer under the wrong rules. And the project directory box was real and submitted, but unlabelled and squeezed to a few characters by the select beside it, so it read as broken -- which is how it was reported. So the kind, the connection, the directory and the mode move out of the strip above the text and into one toolbar row beneath it, where attach and send already are. The directory becomes a button that opens a browser over SFTP, because a path is something you would rather find than spell. `scan_dir` is new beside `list_dir`: a picker has to tell a directory from a file before it can draw the row, and `list_dir` backs a tool whose contract is a list of names and must not change under a model mid-conversation. Browsing is a person clicking, not a model calling, so it does not pass through policy.py -- the same argument the terminal panel rests on. It does mean Manual mode has a second exception now. Also: .chip was two components with one name, and the attachment card won, so the Chat/Agent pills silently wore its padding. --radius-md was used twice and declared nowhere, so both fell back to 0. .btn.is-active has been set by syncToggles since the terminal landed and styled by nothing. Enter-to-send ignored isComposing, so committing an IME candidate sent the message. The terminal had five colours of a sixteen-colour palette, with fallbacks from a palette that no longer exists.

Agent chats run commands, and stop to ask first
The four tools an agent chat has -- shell_run, file_read, file_write, file_list -- and the mode table wired into the loop that decides which of them stop for approval. Verified end to end against a real Kali container over SSH: the card shows the command, allowing it runs it there, and the file it writes is visible from outside. The mode is enforced in `_authorise`, in the generation loop, server-side, keyed on each tool's declared risk. Not in the prompt: a model is told which mode it is in so it behaves sensibly, but everything it reads -- a web page, a README, the output of the last command -- is untrusted, and a rule written only into a system message is one a poisoned file can argue with. Within an agent chat every call goes through the table, including the built-in ones, because notes_edit writes and Plan mode meaning "look but do not touch" has to mean that too. Two things this turned up. The runners re-check the mode as a backstop, and that backstop refused the very thing a person had just approved -- the mode says "ask", and asking was exactly what happened. Approval is now threaded per call, on a copy of the context, because a round runs its calls together and only some of them were allowed. And the harness said nothing at all, because `registry` maps an offered tool *name* back to a family and did not know the agent tools existed. So shell_run resolved to no family and the fragment naming the machine, the directory and the mode was never admitted. The same omission cost custom tools their guidance once already; there is a test for it now. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

A reply can stop and ask you something
Three features turn out to be one mechanism: a command waiting to be approved, a question the model wants answered, and "this reply is waiting for you" are all — stop the generation, put an interactive block in the bubble, wait for a POST, carry on. So there is one primitive, and the only thing using it so far is `ask_user`: a model can offer you a few answers and a box to write your own. The shell executor is not here yet. This lands first on purpose, because it is the riskiest machinery in the feature and it is worth having working before any subprocess exists to complicate it. Two things about where the pause sits. It pauses a round, not a call: a round's calls run together under a semaphore, and parking four coroutines on four separate answers inside that gather would queue them behind each other invisibly. And Stop had to be taught about it — `cancel` is read between streamed chunks and there are no chunks while paused, so the button did nothing at all until `request_stop` learned to resolve the pause itself. Also here: a risk class on every tool (read, write, execute), which is what the four permission modes will be a table over, and the systemd unit loses ProtectKernelTunables. That last one is not tidying — it bind-mounts /proc/sys read-only, which stops bubblewrap mounting /proc at all, and the obvious workaround would expose this process's environment and with it the encryption key.

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.

Background generation, unread replies, send/stop, PLAN.md
**Replies now run in the background.** Generation was driven by the SSE request, so navigating away or opening another chat cut the answer off mid-sentence. services/generation.py owns the work as its own task and the SSE endpoint merely follows it. Verified: attached briefly, closed the connection, went to another page -- the reply finished anyway, 832 characters, not marked stopped, auto-titled. Reattaching works because both `render` and `reasoning` frames now carry the whole block rather than a delta. A follower arriving late has no earlier fragments to append to, so deltas would leave it permanently missing the beginning. Verified: attached six seconds in and the first frame already contained 517 characters written while nobody watched. **Unread indicator.** A reply that lands with no follower attached marks its chat unread; the sidebar polls every 10s for out-of-band dot spans plus an HX-Trigger that raises a toast. Polled rather than pushed: a browser sitting on another chat has no connection to the one that finished, and an always-on channel per tab is a lot of machinery for a green dot. `unread_notified` stops the same arrival being announced every tick. Follower count is what decides "was anyone watching", so reading it as it arrives does not mark it unread -- verified both ways. **Stop is the send button.** While a reply is being written the send button becomes a red stop square, found via a MutationObserver on the thread since the composer and the streaming bubble are far apart in the document. The in-bubble Stop is gone. **Attachment border removed.** As asked -- an attachment is a picture, and the frame only ever drew at the wrong width. The anchor now shrink-wraps and the img's width/height attributes are overridden so a small image shows at its own size. Adds PLAN.md: what is built, what is not, known limits, and the decisions that look like oversights until you know the reason. 239 tests, ruff clean.

Live Markdown, stop, rewind, custom picker, dialogs
Seven things. **Reasoning starts closed.** The answer is what the reader is waiting for; the thinking is one click away. **Image borders.** .attachments__image was a block-level <a>, so its border stretched the full column around a narrow picture. inline-block, and the frame is the picture. Same fix for the composer thumbnail. **Markdown now renders during the stream.** The generator re-renders the answer so far and sends it as a `render` event at most every 100ms, swapped with innerHTML, instead of appending escaped tokens and formatting everything at the end. Re-rendering whole rather than appending is the point: a list or a code fence is only correct once its context exists, and partial syntax resolves itself as more arrives. Measured against a live model: 29 render events, formatting visible from the first content token. **Stop button.** A stop request goes into an in-process set the generator checks between chunks; whatever arrived is kept, because a half-written answer the reader chose to cut short is still worth having. Measured: stream ended 0.2s after the request, 1155 characters preserved, message marked stopped rather than errored. Navigating away does the same thing via CancelledError. **Rewind and edit.** Edit one of your own turns and everything after it is deleted, then the conversation runs on from there. Deliberately not branching: that needs a UI for choosing between versions, and "go back and try again from here" is what was asked for. The form states how many messages will be discarded before you confirm. **Custom model picker.** A <select> renders only text in an <option>, so it can never show an avatar. Built from buttons and a hidden input, with descriptions, capability tags, a filter box past eight models, and arrow-key navigation written out by hand since there is no native widget doing it. **Notification system.** lembas.notify/confirm/prompt in ui.js, built on <dialog> so focus trapping, Escape and page inertness come from the browser. htmx:confirm is intercepted, so every existing hx-confirm gets the themed dialog with no change at the call site; the browser's grey confirm() is gone from every template. 230 tests, ruff clean.
