HomerandClaude Opus 5.5 216e3a20d1 Helpers on another model, chosen by logic rather than by the model
A helper still runs on the chat's own model by default. Other models are
designated per main model -- offered to it, or by hand only -- by the
instance or, with helpers.designate, by a person. subagent_run gains a
model argument whose enum is exactly the candidates that passed two
checks: capacity (a model that serves one request at a time cannot be
its own helper; a connection that holds one model at a time cannot serve
a helper on another of its models) and the model rules. A helper on
another model takes that model's own effort and data group. The composer
gains a Helpers picker; the model page, the connection form and Settings
gain their switches and lists.

HomerandClaude Opus 5.5 9970bb43c6 Data groups: a provider's models read only their own group's data
Every connection is in a data group. Its models are handed, and can find,
only that group's memories, notes, skills, knowledge, reports and
personality -- by search and by id. A chat stays in the group it was
started in: switching its model, the endpoint fallback, the crowd, friends,
bases and the @ menu all stay inside it, and a chat whose model has moved
is refused rather than sent. A group may name its own embedder and image
reviewer. data.manage lets a person make personal groups, remap
connections for themselves and move their own records.

Also: a search no longer mixes two embedders of the same width.

HomerandClaude Opus 5 a16510aba8 The interface speaks Slovak
969 strings, an instance default and a per-person choice, and no half-done corner:
the admin prose is translated too. Design and reasoning: LLeMbas.wiki/Translations.

KEYED BY THE ENGLISH SENTENCE

A missing entry renders the key, which is the English -- so an untranslated string
looks as it always did, an English instance is byte-for-byte 1.6.0, and a
half-finished catalogue is a half-translated page rather than a page of dotted key
names. The cost is that editing an English sentence orphans its translation
silently, which is what tests/test_translations.py asserts in both directions.

No gettext: .po -> .mo is a build step and this project does not have one.

A JINJA GLOBAL, AND THEREFORE A CONTEXTVAR

`t()` is a global for the reason `brand` already documents -- render() is bypassed
by 25 TemplateResponse calls and 8 get_template().render() calls, the latter being
the SSE frames, which have no Request at all. A global is bound once at import and
the language is per person, so the active language is a ContextVar set per request.

🚨 `get_current_user` had to become `async def`. FastAPI runs a sync dependency in a
threadpool, and anyio copies the context in and discards it on the way out -- so
the language was set where nothing could see it and every page rendered in the
instance's language whatever anybody had chosen, with no error anywhere.

NOT TRANSLATED, ON PURPOSE

Everything a model reads: the 60 prompt fragments, and the dates in harness.py,
schedule/runner.py and schedule/compile.py. Only `i18n.stamp` is localised, and
only where a person reads it -- with the *format* translatable as well as the
words, because "26. septembra 2026" is a different pattern rather than the same one
with different words in it. A process locale is not an option: global, not
thread-safe, two people's pages at once.

A second fragment telling models to answer in the reader's language was written
during this work and removed: `core.style` has said it since long before, and
test_an_empty_override_turns_a_fragment_off caught the duplicate.

THE BULK PASS

1213 sites wrapped by a one-off script that only touched patterns it could not
misread. It got three wrong in a way that mattered -- `t('…')` inside `attr="…"`
where the sentence held an apostrophe, closing the Jinja string and 500ing two
pages whose partials no test renders. tests/test_translations.py now compiles all
110 templates. It also wrapped the product's own name, an SSH key header, a
keystroke hint and an example URL, all taken back out: a string is not
translatable just because it is a string.

HomerandClaude Opus 5 28390095a9 A phone, and how much of this could not be used on one
The sidebar was a 280px panel laid over the page below the phone breakpoint,
opened from first paint, with the only control that closed it underneath it --
and that control existed on /chat and on none of the seven other pages carrying
a sidebar, Settings included. It starts closed at that width now, slides, dims
the page behind it, and closes by tapping beside it, by Escape, or by its own
button, which is inside the drawer where it can be reached.

Everything a finger has to hit was 36px, or 28 for renaming a chat, every action
on a message and every panel's close button. Raising --control-h under a coarse
pointer is the only fix that reaches all forty of them, which is what that token
is for. The row and message actions were also hover-only, so on a phone they did
not exist at all.

Installing: the splash and the browser chrome follow the instance's theme rather
than always being Moria's near-black; there are screenshots, so the install
offer is a dialog rather than a one-line bar; a new release no longer takes over
a page somebody is reading; the notification badge is a silhouette rather than a
grey square; and a browser rotating its own subscription no longer ends
notifications for good.

Every request now says it is happening -- nothing did before, so anything slower
than a few milliseconds looked like a click that had not registered.

A chat can be archived. The column has been filtered on in four places since
folders arrived and written by nothing, which is what made it look built.

chat.css may contain media queries. The ban protected the composer toolbar from
being "fixed" with a breakpoint; that guarantee is asserted directly now, and
the old test would have passed a version of the file that wrapped the toolbar
without one.

scripts/shoot.py is the instrument all of this was found with: it renders a page
through TestClient into a real headless browser at a real size and refuses to
run if an asset URL was left pointing at testserver.

Jaroslav BenešandClaude Opus 5 47d1ddbc3c Draw a picture, on a ComfyUI you are running
The last unbuilt capability, and built the way CLAUDE.md said it had to be: a
ToolDef reaching resolve_tools plus a permission and a capability flag, not a new
code path. The only genuinely new UI is one branch in the transcript.

services/images/ is three modules. comfy.py speaks HTTP -- submit, poll /history,
fetch the PNG, /free, and an /object_info discovery for the admin page only.
Polled and not socketed, because holding a connection open for the length of a
generation is the live-connection state the whole ssh.py design forbids, and the
thing being waited for takes tens of seconds anyway. The base URL is exempt from
the SSRF guard by construction, exactly as Connection.base_url and the audio
endpoints are -- said out loud in the docstring, because a default of
127.0.0.1:8188 is precisely the shape that guard exists to refuse and therefore
reads as a hole rather than a decision.

workflow.py fills a template, and the one thing that matters is that it walks the
parsed JSON rather than the text of it. A value that is exactly "{{steps}}"
becomes the number 20; ComfyUI validates types and refuses the string. A
placeholder inside a longer string is still text, which is what makes
"{{prompt}}, masterpiece" work -- and text substitution would additionally mean a
prompt containing a quotation mark produced a document that no longer parses, on
the one input guaranteed to hold arbitrary text. Which node holds the prompt is
the administrator's statement rather than a guess from node types: sniffing for
the first CLIPTextEncode works on the shipped workflow and on nothing else, and
swaps positive for negative the first time somebody reorders them. seed has no
fixed default, because one would make every unspecified generation identical and
make the retry loop redraw the same rejected picture four times.

tool.py is one call, one finished image. Returning every attempt to the
conversation would cost a round each, make the ceiling advisory rather than
enforced, and walk the reader past every reject -- so the reviewer lives inside
the tool and is asked about *bytes*: an attempt about to be discarded should not
leave an Attachment behind, so it sees a downscaled preview built in memory and
only the kept image is written. Anything that goes wrong in review is a keep;
losing a picture because a judging request timed out would be the check
destroying the thing it was checking. The last attempt is kept whatever the
verdict, so a request always produces something. Rejects are recorded, not
stored.

Preserve VRAM unloads the chat's own connection and nothing else, because the
memory being freed belongs to one machine: local llama-swap answers GET /unload,
and a box on the network has no reason to be unloaded when ComfyUI wants memory
here. The swap goes round the review rather than round the tool, which costs two
model loads per retry -- so the two settings are independent and the page warns
when both are on. Nothing loads the LLM back: the reply's next request does, and
that step exists in the description and not in the code, so the code says so.

Two rules elsewhere had to be drawn for the first time. message_payload sends
images only on user turns -- no assistant message had ever carried one, and the
moment one does the multimodal list form on an assistant turn is rejected by
OpenAI and most local runners, breaking every later turn in the chat. And
files.store gained keep_original, because _process_image turns anything without
alpha into JPEG q85 at 1400px: right for a phone photo, a visible loss on the one
output this feature exists to produce.

/image sends the ordinary message with force_tool, which becomes tool_choice for
the first round only -- left in place the reply would draw a picture, be asked
again, and draw another. FORCEABLE_TOOLS is an allow list because the name is
read off a form.

ToolContext gained chat_id, and that fixed a tool nobody had ever successfully
run: _run_scratch_write read context.chat_id on a dataclass with no such field,
so every call raised AttributeError, swallowed by run_tool's blanket except into
"the scratch_write tool failed" -- indistinguishable from a model calling it
wrongly. The test that existed asserted the family and the risk, which are
properties of the declaration rather than of the code.

Verified against the real ComfyUI 0.27.0 on this machine rather than against
documentation: every endpoint shape here was read off it, a generation ran end to
end through the client, the reviewer was shown a matching and a mismatched prompt
and answered KEEP and RETRY correctly, and the unload hook fired for the local
llama-swap and not for the remote box.

Jaroslav BenešandClaude Opus 4.8 5f020ef33f 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.

Jaroslav BenešandClaude Opus 4.8 29db54960e Fix bulk actions, create chats lazily, rework the UI
Seven reported problems.

**Bulk model actions 404'd.** /admin/models/{model_id} was registered
before /admin/models/bulk, and FastAPI matches in registration order, so
"bulk" was parsed as a model id. Moved above the parameterised route,
with a comment saying why, and a regression test.

**Empty chats piled up.** There is now no endpoint that creates one.
"New chat" is a link to /chat, which renders a composer with no row
behind it, and POST /api/chats/start writes the chat together with its
first message. Opening one and walking away leaves nothing.

**Pinning meant two different things.** The picker is now always in the
administrator's position order; pinned models get shortcuts in the chat
sidebar and nothing else. A picker whose order silently differs from the
admin screen is just confusing.

**Model images were missing in chat.** Assistant bubbles now show the
avatar of the model that actually wrote the turn -- which is not always
the model the chat is set to now -- falling back to the LLeMbas mark.
The picker shows it too.

**No global or per-model system prompt.** Three layers now: instance
(Admin -> General), model (Admin -> Models), chat. Precedence, not
concatenation: most specific wins outright. Stacking them reads well in
a settings screen and badly in practice, because two layers that
disagree give the model contradictory instructions and nobody can tell
which is losing. The chat panel shows the inherited prompt as
placeholder text so "leave empty to inherit" is not a guess.

**Alignment and button sizing.** Added --control-h and friends to
tokens.css; every button, input and select takes its height from them,
so a mixed row is flush by construction rather than by per-instance
nudging. Icon buttons are square at that height. Added .btn-row,
.card__header/.card__footer and .grid so pages stop carrying inline
styles, and moved every admin page onto them.

**Settings needed structure.** The user settings page is now tabbed
(Account / Models / Appearance / Security) using radio inputs and
sibling selectors -- no JavaScript, and the browser keeps the chosen tab
across a re-render.

Caught while checking: the chat.css surgery had deleted the attachment,
chip and dropzone rules. Restored, and there is now a check that every
literal class used in a template has a CSS rule.

197 tests, ruff clean.

Jaroslav BenešandClaude Opus 4.8 0f44e8d24c Working chat: auth, connections, streaming, folders
LLeMbas now runs end to end. Register, add an OpenAI-compatible
connection, and hold a real streaming conversation organised into
folders. Verified against the local llama-swap instance.

Streaming is the one genuinely tricky part. Sending a message returns
two HTML fragments -- the user bubble and an empty assistant bubble
carrying an sse-connect -- and that attribute is the ONLY thing that
starts a generation. Rendering an incomplete assistant message as a
streaming shell falls out of the same template, which means loading a
page whose last reply never finished simply picks it up again.

Details worth knowing about, each commented where it matters:

- SSE payloads are split across several data: lines. A raw newline in
  one data: line truncates the event, which shows up the first time a
  model emits a code block.
- Markdown is rendered server-side by the same helper for both the page
  and the final streamed frame, so the two cannot disagree. The fence
  renderer is replaced outright rather than using markdown-it's
  highlight option, which re-wraps output in a second <pre>.
- escape_text is html.escape, not nh3.clean_text: it escapes character
  by character, so escaping stream chunks separately equals escaping
  the whole string.
- The stream opens its own session via session_scope(); it outlives the
  request handler and the dependency-scoped session may be closed.
- Deleting a folder keeps the chats inside it (FK is SET NULL). Losing
  a conversation to a mis-clicked folder delete is unforgivable.
- Login failures use one message for "no such account" and "wrong
  password" so the form cannot enumerate registered addresses.

Also adds deploy/ for the gamebox install at https://chat.lan: system
unit, nginx vhost with buffering off (buffering on turns streaming into
one lump at the end), and install/update scripts following the same
service-user and /srv bind-mount conventions as llama-swap and comfyui.

70 tests, ruff clean.
