MCP servers, over streamable HTTP
A server is a row with a URL; its tools are discovered by a button and cached, then offered beside the built-in ones. Written by hand rather than taken from the reference SDK, because that SDK's transport does its own connecting -- and the one thing that must not be bypassed is check_url on every hop. Owning the transport is the point; the framing beside it is the small part. Sessions are per call: initialize, initialized, the call, a best-effort DELETE. Caching one wants an owner, a TTL, eviction, a lock and a shutdown hook, and the server may expire it under all of that anyway -- ToolContext is a session-free snapshot precisely so nothing in a tool holds live state. A server's names and descriptions reach the model as instructions and are bounded before they do; what it returns is escaped preformatted text, never markdown. Tools are namespaced per server, so two servers exposing "search" do not collide and neither shadows a built-in. Also: a round's calls now run together under a semaphore, results indexed so each tool turn stays paired with its call, and generation.status names what is running -- a remote tool is latency-bound, and a silent pause is what a hang looks like.

Custom HTTP tools an administrator defines
A row in custom_tools becomes a ToolDef like any built-in, offered beside the thirteen. The registry had to stop being an import-time constant for that: `resolve_tools` now returns the schemas *and* the runners together, carried to the loop on the ToolContext. That closes a hole on the way. `run_tool` looked names up in the global REGISTRY with no reference to what had been offered, so a model naming a tool its chat was gated out of -- a family switched off, a permission the reader lacks -- had it run anyway. The resolved set is now authoritative. Arguments come from a model, so an argument may fill a hole but never move the target: the scheme and host of a URL template are literal, values are escaped for where they land, and the origin is pinned afterwards. Every redirect hop is checked the way services/fetch.py checks one, and the secret is dropped if a hop leaves the origin it was issued for. Also fixes the tool-activity block claiming every library tool had "searched the web", which it has done since the second family landed.

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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Temporary chats
A clock in the top-right starts one. It is never listed in the sidebar and is swept a day after the last thing said in it. A real row rather than something held in the browser, because a reload, a crash or a background tab all look identical from here -- "delete when you navigate away" would lose conversations people meant to keep. The flag rides in the URL (/chat?temporary=1) rather than in JavaScript, so it survives a reload and can be bookmarked, and the composer carries it as a hidden field beside model_id. Keep clears the flag. Without a way out, a conversation that turns out to matter is destroyed a day later with no recourse, and people would find that out exactly once. archived was filtered in three places and temporary mirrors all three, plus Folder.visible_chats. It also skips the unread flag in _persist: there is no sidebar row for the dot to land on, and the toast would name a chat nobody can navigate to. The sweep measures age from the newest message, not from the chat row. created_at would destroy a conversation still in use at hour 23, and updated_at does not move when a message is inserted -- onupdate fires on an UPDATE of the chat, and adding a message is not one. It runs at startup beside the existing upload sweep. Deleting a chat cascades its rows but leaves the files on disk; only the orphan sweep unlinks anything, and it looks only at uploads that were never attached. files.remove_files_for_chats() closes that for the new sweep. The same hole in delete_chat is pre-existing and left for its own change, which can now call the same helper. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Show what a reply cost, live and afterwards
Tokens, how full the context is, and tokens per second -- as chips under each assistant bubble, updating while the reply streams and still there when it finishes. The numbers come from one Metrics object built either from the generation still being written or from the row it left behind. That is the point rather than tidiness: the finished bubble is re-rendered from the database the instant the stream ends, so two code paths would make the figures visibly jump at exactly the moment someone is watching them. Here the only thing that changes is that an estimate may become exact. Message.usage_json has existed and been dead since the schema was written. It is the store. Two counts that look like one. prompt and completion are summed across tool rounds -- what the reply cost. context_tokens is overwritten each round with that round's prompt plus completion -- what the window actually holds. A three-round reply pays for its prompt three times and only ever occupies the window once, so a single number would be wrong for one of the two questions. Generation gains started_at as a field rather than a local in _run, because _follow is a different function that sees only the Generation and otherwise has nothing to compute a live speed against. It also carries a prompt estimate taken before the first chunk, since real usage arrives in one chunk at the very end and a percentage that appears only after the reply is useless. Everything is marked with a tilde when the endpoint reported nothing, and the percentage is simply absent when no context length is set: unknown has to stay tellable from small, and a percentage of an unknown total is a made-up number in a place people trust numbers.

Regenerate actually regenerates
`ensure` is keyed on message_id and idempotent on purpose -- a page load
finding an unfinished reply must attach to it rather than start a second
one, and `_follow` calls it too. But finished generations linger in the
registry for KEEP_FINISHED so a follower arriving at the last moment still
gets the final frames, and regenerate is the only caller that reuses an
existing Message row instead of creating a new one. So `ensure` handed back
the finished generation: no request was made, `_follow` replayed the old
answer, and the `done` frame re-rendered a streaming shell because the row
said incomplete. That is the reconnect loop, and the Send button stuck on
Stop. It appeared to work after five minutes only by accident, and only
sometimes: `_prune` sat below the early return, so it was unreachable for
exactly the message that needed it.
`restart()` is the explicit opposite of `ensure`, and regenerate calls it.
`_prune` moves above the lookup.
Cancelling a live predecessor makes its `finally:` run `_persist` on the
same row, which would overwrite the reply that replaced it. `_persist` now
refuses when another generation owns the message -- "someone else owns this
row now", not "this one is registered", so a direct call still writes.
Three things found next door, all in the same area and all bugs:
- `done` was set before `_persist` committed, while `_follow`'s docstring
claimed the opposite. `_follow` breaks out the instant it sees the flag
and re-renders the bubble from the row, so the row has to be right
first. Harmless today, a guaranteed loss once metrics land there.
- Live reasoning duplicated quadratically. The frame carries the whole
block each time, exactly as `render` and `tools` do, but the target
swapped it `beforeend`.
- `sse.KEEPALIVE` was defined and never yielded. A model thinking for
ninety seconds emits nothing, and an idle connection is what a proxy
closes.
There was no test for regenerate at all. There is now.

Every injected prompt becomes editable, and several get written
The instructions LLeMbas puts in front of a model were hard-coded: six
strings in a GUIDANCE dict, two headings, and the title request inline in
chat.py. An operator could not see what was being sent, let alone change
it, and there was nowhere for a custom tool to contribute its own guidance
when custom tools land.
services/prompts.py now holds each piece as a Fragment, and /admin/prompts
edits them with a preview of the whole assembled system message including
unsaved edits. harness.py keeps only the decisions -- which fragments apply
to this request, and what their variables resolve to.
The design turns on one choice: a fragment carries its gate as data
(families, requires, when_tools) rather than as a callable, because a
database row can carry the same three fields. Custom tools will therefore
register a fragment source and change nothing else -- there is a test that
says exactly that, and it is the reason the rest of the shape is what it is.
Consequences worth knowing:
- Defaults live in code, overrides in the database, and text equal to its
default is never stored. Otherwise pressing Save once would freeze
today's wording forever and no later release could improve it.
- An empty override means off. A fragment that was not submitted at all
keeps what it had, because it may be missing from the page only because
whatever contributes it is currently switched off.
- requires= replaced the hand-written pair of memory guidance variants.
The sentence that refers to a section now lives inside that section, so
it cannot outlive it. That was the general problem the pair was a
special case of.
- {{name}}, with anything unrecognised passing through verbatim. The name
grammar is the guard: {"total": 1} and ${PATH} are not candidates.
Substitution is one pass and never recursive, because {{memories}}
carries text a model wrote.
The wording is also overhauled, and a model now gets the core fragments
even with no tools -- the date above all. "An empty harness is worse than
none" was about tokens that say nothing; a model with no clock being asked
about the present is not that. Clearing those boxes restores the old
silence exactly. New: today's date, who it is talking to, the three-round
tool budget, that tool results are not replayed, that anything a tool
returns is data rather than instruction, and what the <document> wrapper
around an attachment is. Extended: memory_forget, notes_edit/delete,
skill_create/edit, and reading a knowledge document in full rather than
answering from an extract.
Tool descriptions stay in code and are listed read-only. They are schema
and they state facts about what a runner does; an edit would make the text
a lie with nothing to catch it.
No schema change -- one JSON row in the settings table.
488 tests. Version 0.2.0, which also invalidates the service worker cache
so the green artwork appears without a hard reload.

Knowledge bases, and a file input that lines up
**Bases.** Documents now live in named collections rather than one flat pile, and a chat can be pointed at particular ones — "answer from the contracts folder" is a different question from "answer from everything I have ever uploaded". A chat with none attached still searches everything its owner can see, because empty means unscoped, not empty. The harness names the attached bases. Without that the model cannot tell "there is nothing about this" from "I am only allowed to see one folder", and it phrases a miss as the former. **Sharing moves to the base.** A document is visible to whoever can see the base it lives in, so `Document` is gone from the shareable types and `documents.visible()` filters through `base_id`. "This folder is the team's" is the granularity people think in; per-document grants meant answering "who can see this?" by checking every file. Moving a document between bases changes who can see it, so the destination has to be one you own. `Document.base_id` is nullable only because the column had to be added to a table that already had rows. `sweep_unfiled()` runs at startup beside the orphaned-upload sweep and files anything predating bases into its owner's default, which is what makes "always set" true everywhere else. **The file input.** `.input` gave it a fixed height and horizontal padding, so the browser's own button sat hard against the left edge while the filename floated off the centre line. A file input is two controls in one box and neither inherits anything useful, so it gets its own rule: no horizontal padding, the button sized to `--control-h` with the divider that separates it, and the text centred with line-height rather than flexbox, which file inputs do not lay out reliably. 437 tests, ruff clean.

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.

Background generation, unread replies, send/stop, PLAN.md
**Replies now run in the background.** Generation was driven by the SSE request, so navigating away or opening another chat cut the answer off mid-sentence. services/generation.py owns the work as its own task and the SSE endpoint merely follows it. Verified: attached briefly, closed the connection, went to another page -- the reply finished anyway, 832 characters, not marked stopped, auto-titled. Reattaching works because both `render` and `reasoning` frames now carry the whole block rather than a delta. A follower arriving late has no earlier fragments to append to, so deltas would leave it permanently missing the beginning. Verified: attached six seconds in and the first frame already contained 517 characters written while nobody watched. **Unread indicator.** A reply that lands with no follower attached marks its chat unread; the sidebar polls every 10s for out-of-band dot spans plus an HX-Trigger that raises a toast. Polled rather than pushed: a browser sitting on another chat has no connection to the one that finished, and an always-on channel per tab is a lot of machinery for a green dot. `unread_notified` stops the same arrival being announced every tick. Follower count is what decides "was anyone watching", so reading it as it arrives does not mark it unread -- verified both ways. **Stop is the send button.** While a reply is being written the send button becomes a red stop square, found via a MutationObserver on the thread since the composer and the streaming bubble are far apart in the document. The in-bubble Stop is gone. **Attachment border removed.** As asked -- an attachment is a picture, and the frame only ever drew at the wrong width. The anchor now shrink-wraps and the img's width/height attributes are overridden so a small image shows at its own size. Adds PLAN.md: what is built, what is not, known limits, and the decisions that look like oversights until you know the reason. 239 tests, ruff clean.
