Homer 0514568df0 Tests that found things reading did not
The testing pass: 2140 tests to 2283, and four bugs that no amount of
reading had turned up. Three came from driving the JavaScript under a
Node DOM stub, which is the practice CLAUDE.md sets out and this is the
reason it does.

The terminal dropped every keystroke after a reconnect. `onclose` closed
over the module-level socket rather than its own, and close() queues its
event -- so the old socket's close arrived after a new one was assigned
and nulled the live one. Output kept coming, because onmessage is bound
to the object, while every send gates on the variable. It also announced
"Disconnected" about a shell that had just reconnected.

Two scripts were loaded twice on /messages, once by base.html and again
by the page. Each is an IIFE with its own state, so four keyboard
shortcuts toggled their panel twice and therefore did nothing, /help
opened two dialogs, and an @ mention attached its file twice. A sweep
refuses any template re-loading what base.html has.

The microphone had no guard while the permission prompt was up, so each
click opened another stream and only the last was ever stopped. And a
skill shared with you took its name out of your own library: create
checked uniqueness against what is *visible* rather than what is owned,
against a (owner_id, name) constraint, and told you to edit a row you
cannot edit.

--ink-faint failed the contrast minimum in both themes -- 3.85 and 3.19
against 4.5 -- so the smallest text on every screen was the hardest to
read. Measured in a headless browser rather than judged by eye.

And the suite runs on 3.11 and 3.12 now as well as 3.14. It had only ever
run on 3.14 while the image ships 3.12 and the packaging claimed 3.11:
the interpreter most people would run was the one nothing had tested.

Jaroslav Beneš 00ce04addf 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.

Jaroslav Beneš 8a3a225fea 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 803d808723 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.
