The menu that never appeared, and the reason it never did
composer.js built its menu lazily inside show(), and refresh() wrote list.innerHTML before calling it. `list` is null until build() has run, so the first `/` or `@` ever typed threw a TypeError and took the handler with it. The menu has never appeared in any browser. That is why /compact "isn't there": nothing was. I shipped it having only run `node --check`, which parses the file happily. So this also brings the thing that catches it: a DOM stub driven under node -- not committed, hard rule 1 stands, it is an instrument like curl. It reproduced the crash in one run and immediately found two more: choosing a command from the menu left `/help` sitting in the box so the next Enter ran it again, and Tab completed nothing. Tab now completes and Enter runs, which is the split that matters for a command taking an argument. `.select--sm` was used three times and defined nowhere. I deleted the copy in chat.css and left a comment saying it "is defined once, in app.css", where it did not exist -- so those selects fell back to plain `.select`: width 100% in a flex row where four siblings wanted the same, all of them shrinking together until each was a few characters wide, and half a rem taller than everything beside them. That was the whole of "the connection switch needs to be wider". The connection and directory move to the topbar. They cannot change -- update_chat refuses both with a 409 -- so they are facts about the chat, of a kind with the Temporary badge, not controls on the message. The mode stays by the box. Compaction says it is working. It makes a model call that takes seconds and had no indicator anywhere: `hx-indicator` appears nowhere in this codebase, and the Generation.status channel that says "Summarising earlier messages…" for the automatic path cannot be borrowed, because it lives in the streaming bubble and this endpoint refuses to run while any message is unfinished. The overflow menu now runs the same code as /compact rather than posting for itself, so there is one implementation, one spinner, and one place the endpoint's four carefully written 409s finally reach somebody. /effort, low medium high, per chat with a per-model default. It goes out twice because there is no field that works everywhere: OpenAI and vLLM read reasoning_effort, llama.cpp's own docs say other values "have no effect" and its maintainer says the field "simply gets dropped without error or logging" -- what reaches gpt-oss behind it is chat_template_kwargs. Both are sent, and only once an effort has been chosen, so a provider strict about unknown parameters sees exactly the request it always did until somebody opts in. The control appears only on a model marked `reasoning`, a flag that has existed since the beginning with no reader at all. Mentions and recognised commands are marked as you type -- a mirror behind the textarea holding the same text with every character transparent, contributing nothing but a rounded rectangle, so a pixel of drift is a misplaced rectangle rather than a doubled glyph. A command is marked only when it resolves, so `/thoughts on this` visibly is not one before you send it. And again in the transcript, where user turns had no render step at all and now escape before they inject. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

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.
