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restart and can be withdrawn.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.

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.
