Jaroslav Beneš 17f3fa1946 Compaction: a button, and automatically when the window fills
A long conversation eventually just stops working. Compaction summarises the
earlier turns and sends the summary in their place.

The messages are kept. They stay in the transcript behind a collapsed
divider and simply stop being part of the request, which is what makes the
button safe to press and automatic compaction safe to have at all: a summary
that came out badly is a bad turn, not a lost conversation.

Stored on the Chat, not as a synthetic Message. A synthetic row needs a
role -- `system` breaks the one-system-message rule the moment build_messages
emits it beside the harness, and user/assistant makes it a turn people can
edit, regenerate from and copy, indistinguishable from a real one in all
four places a bubble is rendered. Worse, "editing rewinds, it does not
branch" would silently delete it and leave no marker that compaction had
happened at all.

The summary goes out as a user turn and an assistant turn, not one. A
leading assistant breaks templates requiring the first non-system message to
be user; a lone leading user produces user, user whenever the kept history
starts on a user turn -- which it always does, because the cutoff lands on a
finished reply.

compacted_through_id is a plain id rather than a foreign key: migrations.py
compiles only the column type, so a REFERENCES clause would exist on a fresh
database and not on an upgraded one, and a constraint half the fleet has is
worse than none. cutoff_message validates it on every read instead, and a
rewind past the boundary clears it.

Compacting again summarises only the delta, with the previous summary
supplied to be subsumed. Re-summarising the whole chat each time grows
quadratically and eventually exceeds the window it is protecting.

Automatically at the top of _run, not in post_message: that route's contract
is to return immediately and leave the slow part to a resumable connection,
and it also means build_request is called once, after compaction, with no
second assembly path. The trigger is the last reply's recorded usage plus an
estimate of the new turn -- retrospective because true prompt_tokens are only
knowable after a response, plus the delta because otherwise fifty thousand
characters pasted into the composer overflow a window that read 90% last
turn. It never fires when the context length is unknown. It does fire on
estimated counts, which is safe here precisely because nothing is lost.

_maybe_compact never raises: a failure logs and sends the uncompacted
request. A `status` event says "Summarising earlier messages…" in the
meantime, because a silent multi-second pause before the first token is what
a hang looks like.

The wording is three fragments under Admin - Prompts. Clearing task.compact
turns compaction off entirely.

Also adds compaction.moment(): SQLite does not store the offset, so a row
loaded from disk is naive while one in the session's identity map keeps its
tzinfo, and comparing the two raises. Every comparison here is between
exactly those.

Jaroslav Beneš 26793b1317 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.

Jaroslav Beneš 2fe736aa6a Models know how much context they hold
A column rather than a key in capabilities_json, which is rebuilt wholesale
from the submitted checkboxes on every save and would destroy a number
living in it.

0 means unknown, and unknown has to stay tellable from small: the context
percentage and automatic compaction both refuse to act on a figure nobody
supplied. Filled in from /v1/models where the runner advertises it --
OpenRouter, vLLM and llama.cpp each spell it differently, so context_from()
reads the four spellings actually in use, accepts a quoted number but not
"8192 tokens", and rejects anything outside 256..10,000,000. Applied on
discovery only when nothing is set: a refresh must never undo a correction,
since an administrator sets this precisely because the endpoint was wrong.

Jaroslav Beneš 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.

Jaroslav Beneš 7b67568f2c 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 Beneš d6c87ac811 Users, groups, permissions, model settings and reasoning display
Four features, plus the schema machinery they needed.

**Schema sync.** The first live instance had data in it, and create_all
only creates missing *tables* -- a new column silently never appeared.
db/migrations.py now diffs the declared models against the database and
ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN for what is missing, deriving a backfill
default from the column type (SQLite refuses a NOT NULL column without
one, and a Python-side `default=dict` cannot be expressed in DDL).
Verified against a copy of the live database: eight changes applied, all
rows preserved, second run a no-op. Renames, drops and retypes are still
manual and say so.

**Permissions.** A flat set of named booleans: an instance baseline
widened by each group the user belongs to. A group grants and never
denies -- with denies, "why can this user not do X" cannot be answered
without simulating every group. Admins bypass entirely, because an admin
can grant it back to themselves in two clicks and pretending otherwise
is theatre. Model *access* is separate: public, or granted to groups.
The picker is not the boundary -- switching a chat to a model you cannot
reach is a 403.

**Model settings.** Ordering, pinned-first, an instance default and a
per-user default, display names, descriptions, capability flags, and
uploaded images. Images are stored and served locally rather than by
URL: a remote URL makes every page render a request to a third party.
Uploads are validated by magic number, not the declared content type,
and stored under a random name. Models with no image get a generated
initial whose hue is derived from the model id, so it is stable.

**Reasoning display.** Streams into its own collapsible block above the
answer, labelled "Thought for 14 seconds", collapsed once finished, and
never replayed as context on the next turn. Two sources: the
reasoning_content delta field, and <think> tags inline in content -- the
latter needs a streaming splitter because the tags arrive split across
chunks. Models emitting no reasoning show nothing, via a :has() rule
rather than JavaScript. Verified against qwen35-9b on llama-swap: 694
reasoning events, 52 answer tokens, cleanly separated.

Two bugs found and fixed while testing:

- A bare `Mapped[list]` relationship is treated by SQLAlchemy as a scalar
  and returns None instead of []. It needs the element type.
- FastAPI substitutes the default for an empty form value, so with
  `x: str | None = Form(None)` a submitted `x=` is indistinguishable from
  an absent field. That silently broke clearing a system prompt or a
  temperature. update_chat now reads the raw form and checks key presence.

143 tests, ruff clean.

Jaroslav Beneš ba2fb1e13d Add registration toggle and password change; genericise deploy
Two things the running instance needed.

**Registration toggle.** Admin -> General, backed by a new settings table
group rather than the environment. LEMBAS_ALLOW_SIGNUP now seeds only the
initial value: once an administrator saves the setting, the stored value
wins. The alternative -- environment always winning -- means a toggle in
the UI silently reverts on the next restart, which is worse than not
offering one. Closing registration also removes the "Create one" link
from the sign-in page, so the link never leads somewhere that refuses.

**Password change**, on the user settings page. Changing a password
revokes every other session and immediately re-issues a cookie for the
current one: if the reason for the change is that somebody else knows
the password, leaving their session alive defeats the point, but signing
the user out of the tab they are standing in is merely rude.

**deploy/ is now host-agnostic.** This repository is public, so the unit
and vhost became templates with __PREFIX__ / __SITE_HOST__ / __APP_PORT__
substituted at install time, and every path, hostname and port moved to
environment variables. REPO_URL defaults to the checkout's own origin so
a fork deploys itself. Machine-specific values belong in private notes,
not here -- CLAUDE.md now says so.

83 tests, ruff clean.

Jaroslav Beneš dd9e0e9440 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.
