Jaroslav Beneš a63723713f Look around the machine before deciding to talk about it
The terminal and the canvas both needed a Chat, so they were missing from the
one screen where you are choosing which machine to work on. A draft is the
smallest thing that fixes it: an id, and the three facts behind it.

The trick is that a draft resolves to a *transient* Chat -- constructed, never
added to a session. `canvas.agent_ready`, `_executor`, `_load_agent`, `_save_agent`
and `agent_session.resolve` read exactly four attributes between them and none
of them queries or writes the row, so all of it works unchanged and nothing had
to learn what a draft is. Proven against a real sshd rather than a stub: a
transient chat opens and saves a project file over the same SFTP path a real one
uses, and the database stays empty throughout.

Chats are still created lazily. A draft is not a chat and never becomes one;
when the first prompt makes the real one, the shell is re-keyed into it and the
open tabs are copied across. `terminal.rekey` moves the registry key *and*
`session.chat_id`, because close_for_profile, close_for_owner and the reaper all
pop by the field -- a stale one would leave a dead session that `get` keeps
handing out. The shell is only adopted when its profile and directory match the
chat as finally resolved, since `_new_chat` settles an empty directory to the
connection's own; otherwise it is left alone rather than transplanted onto a
chat that says it runs elsewhere.

Two canvas sources are refused on a draft, by name, and one of them is a hole
rather than an inconvenience. `_load_file` authorises with
`attachment.chat_id != chat.id`, and an upload made on the new-chat screen is
stored with `chat_id=None` -- so a draft whose chat carried no id would make that
comparison `None != None`, which is False, and open every unclaimed attachment
its owner has. `as_chat` does set an id, so it already fails; the refusal is
stated anyway, because a guarantee that lives in an id-shaped coincidence is one
the next change breaks without noticing.

Adoption needed almost no JavaScript: start_chat already answers with
HX-Redirect, so the page reloads and the canvas adopts by construction while the
terminal reconnects to the re-keyed session and replays its scrollback -- the "a
reload is indistinguishable from a second tab" property working for us. What
re-points them mid-screen is a `lembas:agent-target` event, dispatched from
`setDir` and the connection select because assigning to a hidden field's value
fires nothing on its own. Driven under a DOM stub before committing.

Jaroslav Beneš 52770d7ab1 Two selects that never wrote anything, and a queue
The approval card in Auto mode and the missing /effort were one bug. Both
selects hung their hx-patch on an empty sibling form reached by form="…",
and htmx binds a trigger to the annotated element: change fires on the
select and bubbles to its ancestors, which a sibling is not. The live rows
read agent_mode=manual and params_json={} while the browser showed Auto and
Effort: high. policy.py was never involved.

The verb moves onto the control; the empty form stays as value scoping,
which is the half of the CLAUDE.md note that was right. conftest gains
control_named so a test asserts the element carrying the name carries the
verb, rather than asserting the markup that was there throughout.

The composer's highlight was a third instance of the same carelessness in
CSS: .tok-mention is written for the transcript and scoped to nothing, so
the mirror painted its token in accent-coloured monospace over the
textarea's own text. Scoped under .msg; the mirror restates transparency
and font rather than inheriting them, and bleeds by box-shadow.

/effort is now offered before the first prompt and _new_chat reads it.
/index re-walks the project directory on demand, file_write drops the
listing it just invalidated, and the index ladder falls through to SFTP on
a host that refuses exec instead of returning nothing.

A second message during a reply is queued rather than starting a second
concurrent generation: a real Message row with queued set, so it survives a
restart and can be withdrawn. _drain hands one on at the end of a reply,
_inject takes one in at a tool-round boundary so an agent can be steered
mid-task. Stop leaves the queue undelivered. The terminal's Auto toggle
becomes off/copy/send, and send posts straight to the chat without touching
the composer.

@ now offers notes, skills, this chat's attachments and a URL to fetch; a
knowledge base attaches as a reference rather than a copy. copy_document
carries provenance, which was the one attach path that dropped it.

Also fixes an unrelated live bug: the round loop compared against the
global MAX_ROUNDS of 3 while sizing itself from the agent budget of 40, so
agent replies stopped after three rounds and reported forty.

Jaroslav Beneš 6bbd398707 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.

Jaroslav Beneš a7e59a00f8 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.

Jaroslav Beneš 47791a88c7 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.
