All verification complete — TODO.md was already cleared in the roadmap commit; the two extra unit-test diffs are necessary fake-signature adaptations for the new keywords. Everything is green, no fixes were needed.
## Phase 89 — final verification pass: ALL GREEN
**Verified (all 6 task files present in `complete/`):**
- `git_sources.ignore_paths` JSONB column + migration 0013; `alembic downgrade -1 && upgrade head` round-trips (head `0013`)
- Importer: `normalize_ignore_path`/`is_ignored`/`_ignore_for_root`, `ignore` in walk + progress pre-walk, `ignore_by_root` in `import_sources`
- API: GET/POST carry list; admin-only `PATCH` (replace, 404/422 fixed details, anonymous 403)
- Pipelines wired: `_run_sync`, `_run_upload` re-upload, `scripts/import_docs.py`
- Sources-page box: dialog, §7.4 save lifecycle, `N ignored` tag, a11y; env rows get no box
**Test/lint results:**
- `uv run pytest` → 1808 passed
- `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → TOTAL **99%** (>90%)
- `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_source_ignore_paths.py -v --no-cov` → 6 passed (isolated, DB up)
- Regressions in isolation: `test_git_sources_admin` 6, `test_archive_upload_sources` 5, `test_sync_button` 3, `test_smoke` 3 — all passed
- `uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright` → clean (0 errors)
**Completion criteria:** box→PATCH 200→count+GET round-trip ✅ · sync excludes `ignore/` (no docs/chunks/embeddings/summaries) + prunes newly-ignored (pruned==2) ✅ · no-mid-path rule E2E ✅ · PATCH 404/422/replace/clear/403 ✅ · full gate green ✅ · commit + phase move left to harness per rules.
**Deviations:** none blocking — E2E pins `files == 4` (overview's "5" was an off-by-one vs its own 6-file tree, documented in-test); `tests/unit/test_importer.py` + `test_sync_button.py` test-double fakes extended for the new keywords (needed for the suite to stay green).
**Next pending phase:** none — `todo/` holds only this phase.
header.js's control bindings (sign-out, the mobile hamburger, the
SINGLE New chat button) ran at module import. The Containerfile stage-1
build inlines header.js into every bundle that imports it (the shell's
app.js, token-gate.js and the router's lazy views), so the shell page
registered the #nav-toggle click handler twice, and two toggle handlers
cancel each other — one tap = open + close = the mobile menu dead in
the deployed image only. The dev tree's single ESM instance (and every
test that runs against it) never showed it; a lazy view load adding a
THIRD copy made the menu work again, which is why the failure looked
state-dependent (chat cold boot dead, /sources.html alive).
- header.js: the three bindings move into an exported
bindSharedHeaderControls(), guarded by a marker on <body> (NOT module
state — every bundle copy has its own function instance), so later
bundle copies and repeated inits (the token gate's mid-page header
re-boot) are no-ops; header.js is now side-effect-free at top level,
which also lets esbuild tree-shake the dead copies out of the bundles
that do not need them (the token-gate bundle no longer carries the
binding code at all)
- app.js / login.js / shared.js / document.js: call
bindSharedHeaderControls() once at module top — import-time parity,
unconditional (no async boot path to miss); doc-edit.js ships no
header controls and calls nothing
- unit: tests/unit/test_header_bindings_once_per_document.py pins the
contract — the init export, the document-level idempotency marker,
all three bindings inside the init, NO top-level addEventListener
remaining, and exactly one module-top call in each header-carrying
page script; stale import-time docstrings in the legacy header pins
updated to the new contract
Verified: full unit + integration suite (1746 passed), the hamburger /
pinned-composer / smoke E2E stories green in isolation, ruff + pyright
clean. Containerfile-equivalent esbuild 0.25.5 rebuild probed in
Chromium: exactly ONE #nav-toggle click listener on chat cold boot,
/sources.html and login.html, and a touch tap opens the menu in all
three states (pre-fix production: two listeners on cold boot = dead,
three on sources = alive).
All completion criteria verified green. Final state confirmed: phase stays in `todo/` per A4 (owner device gate), task files in `complete/`, no `app/` changes, no commits made (harness commits).
## Phase 88 — final verification pass report
**Verified (all 6 tasks already complete):** `touch-action: manipulation` on mobile `#nav-toggle`; `#view-chat.chat-booted` double-rAF sticky handover (CSS gate + app.js boot IIFE); `body.nav-menu-open` marker in `setNavMenu` + ≤640px `visibility: hidden` rule; router boot contract (`wasMounted && !opts.boot` + `boot: true`); new unit module (10 pins) + 4-test real-touch E2E story.
**Test / lint / coverage:**
- `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → 1741 passed, **99%** on `app/` (>90% ✓)
- `tests/e2e/test_mobile_chat_hamburger_boot.py` 4/4, `test_mobile_hamburger_nav.py` 8/8, `test_pinned_composer.py` 4/4, `test_smoke.py` 3/3 — each in isolation, `--no-cov` ✓
- `uv run ruff check .` clean; `uv run pyright` 0 errors ✓
**Completion criteria:** (1) 360px cold-boot touch-action + sticky handover + tap-opens-menu-with-cluster-hidden (E2E 1–2) ✓; (2) boot fires no `bor:view-refresh`, re-show fires exactly one, `/sources.html` regression (E2E 3–4) ✓; (3) full gate green ✓; (4) diff limited to 4 assets + 2 new tests + phase files, 0 changes in `app/` ✓; (5) commit deferred to harness per executor rules ✓; (6) owner device re-verification **pending** (A4 — gates the archive; no Owner report recorded yet).
**Deviations (both documented in-tree):** unit pins updated in `test_frontend_router.py`/`test_hamburger_nav.py` (their exact-text pins collided with the mandated new guard/marker text — without them the suite goes red); `boot: true` count pinned at 1 not 2 (codebase has one boot call site, no `history.state` branch — verified against git HEAD).
**Next pending phase:** none in `todo/` — pipeline awaits the owner's on-device report (archive, or `?dbg=nav` instrumentation follow-up if the menu is still dead).
The phase-87 ".typing-elapsed" dot-geometry reset (specificity 0,1,0)
lost every shared declaration to the ".typing span" dot rule
(0,1,1): the hint rendered as an 8x8px bouncing dot and the "Ns" text
wrapped one character per line below the bubble (overflow-wrap:
anywhere on .bubble). Phase 87's e2e checked text values only, so the
squish shipped unseen.
- retarget the reset at ".typing span.typing-elapsed" (0,2,1) so it
actually wins; center the dots while the hint line is taller
- unit: pin the reset's selector context (specificity regression guard)
- e2e: layout pin on the live hint — no dot animation, not an 8px box,
horizontal single-line bounding box
- before/after verification screenshots in
.agents/reports/87_big_read_progress/
Verified: unit 41 passed, phase-87 e2e 4 passed (isolated), ruff +
pyright clean.
The client-side TURN_TIMEOUT_MS was the binding constraint: turns with
slow prompt processing (no first SSE frame within 120 s of visible time)
errored with the 'stuck' copy even though nginx (300 s) and
BOR_LLM_TIMEOUT (300 s) would have let them run. Raise the guard to
300 s so the upstream timeouts are reachable, and re-pin the tests:
the unit constant pins and the fake-clock E2E timeline (295 s hidden
+ 290 s after the re-arm = 585 s: past the original 300 s deadline,
short of the re-armed 595 s deadline).
Verified: tests/unit (full, 100% pass), tests/e2e/test_hidden_tab_stream.py
and tests/e2e/test_loading_feedback.py in isolation.
All verification complete. Final report:
**Phase 85 final verification pass — all green** (tasks 01–03 already complete; independently re-verified from scratch)
- Verified fix in tree: `styles.css` `.auth-gate` z-index 500→15 + rewritten stacking comment (no `z-index: 500` left); `index.html`/`document.html` comment-only; `token-gate.js` docstring-only (logic byte-identical); `test_mobile_hamburger_nav.py` real-click conversion + new `test_anonymous_toggle_tappable_with_gate_up`; new `tests/unit/test_gate_header_stacking.py` (3 pins); `test_api_tokens.py` untouched
- `uv run pytest` → 1717 passed, 1 warning (exit 0)
- `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → TOTAL **99%** (>90%)
- E2E in isolation: `test_mobile_hamburger_nav.py` **8 passed**; `test_api_tokens.py` **9 passed** (unchanged); `test_smoke.py` **3 passed**; `test_document_viewer.py` **7 passed**
- `uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright` → clean / 0 errors
- Live probe (375×812, anonymous, fresh server): on `/` and `/history.html` `elementFromPoint` at toggle → SVG `path`, never `#auth-gate`; real click opens menu (`aria-expanded=true`); exactly one visible nav link (Chat) + sign-in copy; Chat link topmost over gate; `#main` inert — criteria 1, 2, 3 confirmed directly
- Criteria: (1) real-click menu on / + /history ✅ (2) dropdown above gate ✅ (3) anonymous contents + #main inert ✅ (4) admin byte-identical (phase-46 tests green) ✅ (5) doc-viewer gate under bar (CSS pin + doc-viewer suite) ✅ (6) full gate green ✅ (7) diff scoped to the 5 code files + new unit test + phase files, nothing in `app/` ✅ (8) commit + todo→complete move left to harness per executor rules (task files already in `complete/`)
- Note: `.agents/remediation_plan.md` (untracked) is a pre-existing artifact of the earlier security audit — left untouched; a missing "N passed" line seen mid-pass was my own `-q`+addopts `-q` = `-qq` quirk, not a defect
- Next pending phase: `86_history_page_width`
At <=640px the RAG "Sync sources" pill and the History "Refresh"
pill squeezed down to tiny icon-only buttons — hard to discover and
tap on a phone. They are now full-width labeled pills:
- the RAG page-head row wraps so the Sync pill drops below the
"Knowledge base" title at full width; the History page-head
already wrapped the pill below its title block
- the Sync label's min(16rem, 40vw) cap lifts on mobile (min-width: 0
engages the ellipsis) so the live-file text truncates against the
full width instead of the 40vw cap
- the Refresh glyph joins its visible label (it stays hidden on
desktop, where the label carries the pill)
This matches the established mobile full-width pill language (New
chat / Share / stale-ban Regenerate). The three unit tests that
pinned the old icon-only CSS are updated to pin the new behavior.
Single consolidated commit for four completed, validated phases (77, 78,
79, 80). The pipeline run left all work uncommitted because the harness
commits only with PHASE_COMMIT=1 while child executors are forbidden from
committing; the phases themselves all passed validation and moved to
.agents/phases/complete/.
Phase 77 — navbar view refresh
- router.js dispatches bor:view-refresh on re-show / active re-click /
popstate (gated on wasMounted; first show and boot exempt)
- History / RAG / Sources / Tuning re-fetch on refresh (admin branch);
Chat deliberately excluded (stream survival)
- History "Refresh" button (admin-only, in-flight disable + status line)
- New story suite tests/e2e/test_navbar_refresh.py (7 tests)
Phase 78 — static background
- Removed the animated glow layers; static 44px grid over the flat --bg
canvas; default and reduced-motion renders byte-identical
- Updated background/theme E2E suites; removed bg-glow test pins
Phase 79 — API tokens
- api_tokens model + migration 0012; hash-only token service
- Admin tokens API + Tokens admin view; POST /api/token-auth;
live-revoking require_user on chat / suggestions / document content
- Frontend token gate with localStorage cache; anonymous E2E suites
migrated to token login
- New story suite tests/e2e/test_api_tokens.py (9 tests)
Phase 80 — history suggestion chips
- last_questions() endpoint with SEED fallback; startNewChat() refetch
- Seed-semantics docs (config.py, .env.example, README)
- Integration state matrix + E2E suite rewritten to the 4 chip states
Also included: phase-76 report artifacts and the repo restore-test-db
skill (previously untracked), scripts/* ruff fixes from phase 77.
Final gate state (phase 80 final pass, covers everything above):
- uv run pytest --cov=app → 1637 passed, 0 failed, app/ coverage 99%
- uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright → clean, 0 errors
- Per-phase story E2E suites green in isolation
Root cause (owner repro, verified in a real browser 2026-09-06): the
five navbar views (Chat, RAG, Sources, Tuning, History) were separate
HTML documents, so a navbar click was a REAL cross-document navigation
— the chat page unloaded, the in-flight SSE fetch was aborted, and the
phase-48 teardown (app/api/chat.py `finally`, "chat: turn cancelled")
stopped the model. Observed: send question -> click RAG mid-stream ->
click Chat -> the answer never finished: no `query_log` row, and on
return a dangling question with no brain record (the pre-token pagehide
partial persist skips because `acc` is empty).
Phase-48 LOCKED-DECISION REFINEMENT (owner-confirmed 2026-09-06,
flagged per AGENTS.md rule 3, not silently deviated): "real navigation
cancels the fetch" now means LEAVING THE APP — tab close,
external/other-document navigation, the Stop button. In-app navbar
switches are client-side view switches and no longer cancel.
Fix — Option A (SPA shell), chosen over B (Service Worker owns the
stream) and C (server-side turn registry + resume):
- frontend/index.html is the shell: ONE `<main id="main">` holds the
five `<section class="view">` blocks; hidden views carry BOTH
`hidden` and `inert` (WCAG — no focus/keyboard traversal). The
shared header, the single `doc-modal-*` skeleton, and the
`#app-version` footer each exist exactly once; the per-view copies
from the four folded pages are dropped.
- New frontend/assets/router.js (vanilla module — no framework, no
bundler, No-CDN rule intact): lazy-imports a view module on FIRST
show only (mount-once, hide-forever — the chat view's in-flight SSE
reader persists across switches; that persistence IS the fix);
intercepts same-shell navbar links with preventDefault +
history.pushState (never a document load); handles popstate; single
writer of `.nav-link` active state (is-active + aria-current),
document.title, and the per-view meta description (values carried
over from the old pages' heads, brand-resolved at write time).
- Each folded page's JS becomes `export async function mount(root)` —
root-scoped queries; `initSharedHeader()` dropped (the header boots
once in the shell via the chat module; the admin flag comes from the
same cached `fetchIsAdmin()` promise — zero extra requests).
- app/main.py: a small list-driven route factory serves the shell for
/tuning.html, /sources.html, /git-sources.html, /history.html —
registered AFTER the API routers and BEFORE the static catch-all
(routes-first). The phase-33 caching middleware applies no-cache +
`?v=` rewriting unchanged; app/core/caching.py needed NO change
(the view paths did not change — pinned by the integration tests).
- The four old view .html files are DELETED (one source of truth);
deep links to the old URLs keep working (the router picks the view
from the pathname); `/?chat=<id>` is unaffected; the Containerfile
bundles router.js (inlining the lazy view modules) and drops the
folded page files.
- app/schemas.py: HistoryTurn.text cap 4000 -> 32000 — the shell
keeps long saved answers in the chat, and the old cap (stricter than
the 24_000-char total history budget) 422-rejected any second turn
in such a chat (found by the phase-42 E2E suite on the shell).
Boundaries: login.html, shared.html, doc-edit.html, document.html
REMAIN separate documents (flow pages, not navbar tabs); a mid-stream
navigation to doc-edit/document.html still cancels per phase 48
(follow-up candidate, out of scope). The SSE API is unchanged. Real
departures still cancel the turn — phase 48 intact (pinned by
tests/e2e/test_stop_generation.py, unchanged, and by the new suite's
real-departure control).
Tests:
- Phase-20 suite REWRITTEN to the new semantics
(tests/e2e/test_sources_midstream_bug.py): a navbar switch no longer
cancels — the stream survives the switch and the FULL answer
settles; the pagehide partial persist REMAINS for real departures
(the partial's exact shape — first streamed chunk prefix, no done
metadata — is still pinned there).
- NEW story suite tests/e2e/test_nav_switch_keeps_stream.py (mock
LLM): the owner repro (send -> RAG mid-stream -> Chat: window
sentinel survives = same document, FULL answer, exactly one brain
turn in bor.chat.v1, exactly one settled query_log row, auto-saved
row matches) + the same mid-stream switch against the other three
views + the real-departure-still-cancels control + the no-switch
baseline.
- tests/unit/test_frontend_router.py: source-level pins of the router
invariants (click interceptor targets ONLY same-shell view paths,
pushState-only switches, mount-once guard, hidden+inert pair,
single-writer active state/title); shell-route integration tests
(each folded path serves the shell with no-cache + `?v=` body; a
non-view path still 404s); the file-reading unit pins re-pointed at
the shell (the four view files are gone — the shell is the source
of truth).
Verification (this commit): full suite green — 1565 unit+integration
tests, app/ coverage 99% (>90% floor); ruff + pyright clean; the
phase's E2E suites green in isolation (house protocol, AGENTS.md rule
9). Owner repro verified in a real browser against the real LLM
(dev server :8010, headful Chromium): "tell me about everquest" ->
RAG mid-stream -> Chat — the answer completed with one brain bubble
and no error banner, `query_log` gained exactly one settled row
(deflected=True: the dev KB holds no EverQuest docs — the settle, not
the topic, is the proof), zero "chat: turn cancelled" lines for that
turn; the control (real navigation to /shared.html mid-stream) still
cancelled (no settled row, the cancel line logged, the partial
persisted on return). Screenshots: .agents/screenshots/76_manual_*.
Phase 76 (76_spa_nav_shell) complete — moved to
.agents/phases/complete/.
Phase 75 (TODO.md L4): "Save as doc" now drafts a document from the
ENTIRE chat session — every question and answer up to the click, in
order — instead of only the clicked bubble's answer; the existing
doc-edit screen's free-form body editing is how the user edits out
anything they don't want to keep from previous replies (no new UI
surface).
Task 01 (frontend):
- app.js buildSessionTranscript(): walks the bor.chat.v1 conversation
record in order — a numbered section per user turn ("## N.
<question, raw>" + blank line + the raw answer text; more answers
join under the same heading), sections blank-line separated, all
trailing whitespace collapsed to one final newline. Only the raw
persisted text travels (m.who + m.text — no thinking blocks, no
source chips, no tune metadata); a brain record before the first
user record is skipped; a heading-only section marks a user turn
whose answer never landed (A6, owner-confirmed 2026-09-08).
- saveAsDoc(btn): the draft body is buildSessionTranscript(); the
dead single-bubble markdown parameter is dropped (the button's
appendSaveAsDocButton signature is unchanged — one button per
bubble). Title/path/double-click guard/hand-off are unchanged
(defaultDocTitle: the last question, whitespace-collapsed,
<=120 chars; docs/<slug>.md).
- Unit: the app.js source pins move to the transcript shape (whole
session, no thinking, no dead parameter).
Task 02 (E2E):
- tests/e2e/test_save_doc_session.py (bare-repo fixture, the
phase-59 convention — git as source of truth): three DISTINCT
on-topic turns in one session (turn 1 carries the phase-17
"think out loud" trigger so its record has a thinking block the
transcript must exclude) -> save on the LAST bubble -> the
prefilled body is ## 1./## 2./## 3. in order, byte-exact against
the deterministic mock, thinking-free -> edit the whole
section-2 block out of the body -> push -> git show
bor-docs:<path> equals the EDITED body byte-for-byte (section 2's
question and answer provably absent; sections 1 and 3 byte-exact;
the UI's sha prefix is git rev-parse bor-docs). Second test:
the button on the FIRST bubble still drafts the whole session
(A6 — the transcript is the session at click time, title stays
the last question); canceling leaves the branch tip untouched.
- tests/e2e/test_response_to_docs.py: the phase-59 single-turn body
expectation moves to the transcript shape ("## 1. <question>" +
the answer's markdown) — the rest of the suite unchanged.
Also lands the phase-74 file moves (00_phase.md /
03_mock_marker_e2e.md -> complete/) and the phase reports — the
house convention of committing .agents/ with the phase.
Phase 74 (TODO.md L4): a follow-up question now reaches the model WITH
the conversation so far — every prior user/brain turn and the prior
thinking blocks on brain turns (preserve-thinking) — while
POST /api/chat stays stateless (A10): the client provides the history
in the request body and the server stores nothing new.
Server (task 01):
- ChatRequest.history: optional list[HistoryTurn] (who: user|brain,
text, optional thinking) — absent/empty keeps the request
byte-identical to pre-phase-74 (the two-message [system, user]
request; the kill-switch semantics are pinned in the integration
suite).
- app.rag.prompts.history_to_messages: pure mapper — walks the turns
newest-first against the settings budgets (history_max_turns=40 /
history_max_chars=24000, BOR_HISTORY_MAX_TURNS /
BOR_HISTORY_MAX_CHARS); a capped turn is dropped WHOLE (never cut
mid-answer); the kept window is returned oldest-first; brain turns
carry their thinking as reasoning_content (A4) only when
non-empty.
- Both branches feed it: the deflected path splices it between the
system prompt and the current user message (the phase-71 recovery
still rebuilds from messages[1:]), the grounded agent receives
run_agent(..., history=hist); llm.py's message params widen to
list[dict[str, Any]] (string-only messages stay byte-identical on
the wire — the SDK passes message dicts through verbatim).
- The per-turn log line (PLAN §9) gains history_msgs=N after
kb_chars=N.
- Pins: tests/unit/test_history.py (mapper: mapping, reasoning
gating, both budgets, drop-whole, ordering, empty default),
tests/unit/test_config.py (the two settings + env overrides),
tests/unit/test_agent.py (the history splice + the default),
tests/integration/test_chat_api.py (deflected AND grounded forward
the history incl. reasoning_content, no-history byte-identity, 422
pins, the log field).
Client (task 02):
- runTurn — the single funnel for fresh send / phase-49 retry /
phase-53 stale-regen — sends history = the conversation record
minus the current question, with thinking only on brain records
that streamed one (undefined drops the key from the JSON, the
record's convention); the question is never duplicated into the
history.
Wire proof (task 03):
- The mock's echo my history marker (HISTORY_TRIGGER) answers with
the deterministic history echo — history: N prior messages; last
answer tail: <last 24 chars>; thinking: yes|no — checked BEFORE
the DEFLECT_MODE branch (like TABLE_TRIGGER), so it fires on both
turn branches whatever the gate says; the module docstring records
the user/assistant-only history invariant that keeps every
existing (tool-result-classified) marker flow unaffected.
- tests/e2e/test_llm_history.py (isolated): a grounded follow-up and
a deflected follow-up both receive history: 2 prior messages +
thinking: yes + the byte-exact tail of turn 1's answer (derived
from the persisted bor.chat.v1 record — the same array the client
maps into the body); a cold start receives history: 0 prior
messages / last answer tail: none / thinking: no.
- Regressions green in isolation: chat_rag, chat_history (phase 50),
agent_document_tools, harness_aligned_tools, stop_generation,
retry_answer, response_to_docs.
Root cause (task 01): none of C1-C3 - in Chromium 151 (real mode) a
merely-hidden tab neither stops the stream (frames arrive at full rate;
turn completes) nor fires pagehide on tab switch; C1's double-record
path was proven latent via a synthetic pagehide (trigger is
browser-dependent, e.g. Safari) and C2 (the 120s pre-token guard) was
confirmed to fire while hidden.
- C1: the pagehide partial-persist is correlated with the turn's settle
(leavePartialIndex) - the done/stop settle REPLACES it in place
(identity-guarded rememberBrainTurn in-place mode), so bor.chat.v1
and the auto-saved saved_chats row keep exactly ONE brain turn per
question; a real navigation never runs a settle, so the leave-save
is unchanged.
- C2: the visibility re-arm gives the still-armed pre-token guard a
fresh TURN_TIMEOUT_MS when the tab returns to visible - hidden time
no longer counts toward the 120s guard.
- Phase-48 teardown contract untouched: Stop / tab close / real
navigation still cancel the fetch and stop the model.
- Unit pins: tests/unit/test_frontend_hidden_tab.py (the app.js
mechanisms without a browser).
- E2E pins: tests/e2e/test_hidden_tab_stream.py - synthetic pagehide
mid-stream completes exactly once with one brain turn (localStorage
+ auto-saved row), reload restores one bubble, no-event baseline,
and the fake-clock pre-token guard re-arm (discriminating: fails
with the re-arm disabled).
Standardize on the .agents/ directory (shared with project skills):
phases/, user_stories/, reports/, screenshots/, validate.sh, and
phase-sessions/ + pipeline.log all move to .agents/ (git mv preserves
history; runtime artifacts move alongside).
Updates every reference in AGENTS.md, README.md, .gitignore, app
docstrings, and test story headers. Historical KB content in data/
and the runtime pipeline.log transcript are left untouched.
Phase 72 (72_teaching_refusals) — completed under the 2026-09-04 controlled
methodology (owner directive: stop clearing/re-importing the homelab KB per
iteration; measure tool-calling accuracy on a controlled fixture KB, target
>90%).
Real-model gate verdicts (live, configured chat model 'lite', fixture KB):
- Controlled fixture battery (the new methodology's pass condition —
contract accuracy >= 90%): PASS, 4 consecutive runs:
gate: lite PASS turns=10 answered=10 caps=0 tool-turns=10 calls 8/11 executed (73%) contract 11/11 (100%) 2026-09-04 (wall 43.4s)
gate: lite PASS turns=10 answered=10 caps=0 tool-turns=10 calls 8/13 executed (62%) contract 12/13 (92%) 2026-09-04 (wall 50.6s)
gate: lite PASS turns=10 answered=10 caps=0 tool-turns=10 calls 7/11 executed (64%) contract 11/11 (100%) 2026-09-04 (wall 46.8s)
gate: lite PASS turns=10 answered=10 caps=0 tool-turns=10 calls 9/15 executed (60%) contract 14/15 (93%) 2026-09-04 (wall 54.8s)
- Locked derived battery (phase-72 task 05, executed >= 90% bar, run
unchanged on the same fixture KB):
gate: lite FAIL turns=10 answered=10 caps=0 tool-turns=10 calls 5/15 executed (33%) contract 12/15 (80%) 2026-09-04 (wall 47.7s)
The teaching works — every bare-path trap self-corrects in exactly one
round, zero cap hits, zero repeat loops, 10/10 answered. The locked
executed bar is blocked by ALREADY_IN_CONTEXT dedupe refusals on the
corrected re-reads (the trap question seeds its target, so the correct
combined-form read is refused for redundancy) — a copy-invariant model
behavior (five copy variants, 0/15 re-reads flipped, 2026-09-03 -> 04)
and an app-semantics decision for the owner (TOOL_CALLING_TESTING.md
sections 5 and 7), not a copy lever.
Copy changes this phase owns (unit pins updated to follow):
- app/rag/agent.py: ls teaching refusals (path-like scope -> document-path
line; unknown source -> no-source line with the source-name
parenthetical), read/grep 'did you mean source/path?' teaching
(find_path_candidates: exact or suffix path match, catalog order, cap 3),
ALREADY_IN_CONTEXT naming the correct action (answer from the text
already in the prompt), read tool description front-loaded with the
do-not-read rule (the 2026-09-04 controlled telemetry: the re-read is
the only remaining refusal class; contract accuracy 92-100% across runs)
- app/rag/prompts.py: TOOLS_SECTION states the document-identity contract
up front (ls path = source name; read/grep = combined source/path
including the source name; do-not-read for <documents> documents placed
next to the read teaching; one-call-per-reply and never-repeat rules)
- tests: refusal pins (unit + integration), new dedicated E2E suite
tests/e2e/test_tool_path_teaching.py (mock misuse flow, green in
isolation), regression suites green in isolation (harness_aligned_tools,
agent_document_tools, agent_unlimited_tools, search_tool, chat_rag).
Gates: uv run pytest green (1501); coverage TOTAL 99% (>90%); ruff +
pyright clean. Carries the still-uncommitted phase-71 todo/ -> complete/
move and both phases' .agent/reports/ (AGENTS.md 8).
The phase-72 iteration loop cleared the database, git-cloned the homelab repo, re-imported 38-51 documents and re-embedded per run — many minutes per iteration against a different KB every time (owner directive 2026-09-04: stop importing the homelab repo on every test run). Replace it with:
- tests/fixtures/agent_kb/: 8 hand-written markdown docs (sources 'deployments'/'homelab') whose specifics (rack7, 10.77.42.0/24, VLAN 130, rbm-8842, 17 2 * * *, obsidian-bor:2026.7.14, 18765, 18443, ...) no model can guess; read targets carry non-topical filenames so their questions do not lexically seed them (the read must actually happen)
- tests/fixtures/test_kb.dump.sql: data-only snapshot (TRUNCATE + INSERTs incl. embeddings, self-contained git_sources rows, static KB overview) — verified by round-trip checksum at build time
- scripts/load_test_kb.py: one-off rebuild (real pipeline + embeddings, ~2s) that also prints the per-question retrieval report (all 10 battery questions must be grounded)
- scripts/restore_test_kb.py: sub-second one-transaction restore (no git clone, no re-embedding)
- scripts/agent_realmodel_check.py: the gate gains --restore / --mode fixture (curated 10-question battery with one unambiguously correct tool behavior per question) / --turns N (12s micro-loop) / --concurrency / per-turn + total wall timing, and a second accuracy metric (contract accuracy: well-formed calls targeting resolvable entities) alongside the phase-72 locked executed ratio — the re-read of a seeded doc is a copy-invariant model behavior (5 variants, 0/15 flipped) that the dedupe refusal counts as a failure
- TOOL_CALLING_TESTING.md: the human-readable methodology (fast loop, design rules, metrics, copy levers + tried-and-reverted table, current standing, open design question)
Measured: restore 0.03s; micro-loop ~12s; full loop ~43-55s; concurrency 2/3 gives no gain (endpoint serializes).
The model treated the combined 'source/path' string (as printed in
search result lines, read-result headers and refusals) as the
document's identity and passed it as 'source' — e.g.
source='homelab/active/container_caddy/caddy.md' instead of
source='homelab', path='active/container_caddy/caddy.md'.
- Rewrite the read_document description with the split rule (source =
before the FIRST '/', path = after it) and a worked example; share
the source/path parameter descriptions between read_document and
search_documents; map search result lines back onto the split.
- New _resolve_document: on a lookup miss with a '/' in source, retry
at the first slash (source names are directory basenames and can
never contain '/'), plus a continuation candidate for a split at a
later slash; a self-corrected combined form for an already-in-context
document is still rejected as ALREADY_IN_CONTEXT.
- A slash-carrying source that matches nothing gets an educational
refusal naming the corrected arguments instead of the generic line
that repeated the combined form.
Verified live against aipi (lite) + the imported homelab KB: A/B on
the exact failure scenario (5 runs each, right after a
combined-source search result) — old descriptions 5/5 combined, new
descriptions 5/5 clean; two live UI turns (Playwright) produced only
clean split arguments, including a multi-hop read of
install_caddy_deskwork.yaml that landed in done.sources. Full suite:
1376 passed, app coverage 99% (agent.py 100%), ruff + pyright clean,
agent/search E2E green in isolation.
meta description -> locked (A3) auto-save string (history.html L6).
page-sub -> locked (A3) string, the <strong>Save</strong> emphasis retired with the button (L106-109).
empty row -> locked (A3) string; colspan=6, hidden, and row id untouched (L163).
h1, the anonymous gate section, and history.js are byte-identical — state language verified accurate.
- task 01: relocate the .chat-actions row (New chat + Share, comments byte-identical with a Phase 65 note) from the top of the column to the bottom of .chat-shell, directly above the composer
- task 02 (owner-locked A1): wrap the row + #composer in ONE sticky .chat-bottom unit (position: sticky; bottom: env(safe-area-inset-bottom, 0), no z-index) — the pills stay at the bottom of the screen at every scroll position and settle into flow above the footer
- task 03 (owner-locked A2): right-align the bottom row to the column's right edge (justify-content: flex-end), mirroring the right-aligned Save-as-doc corner; the five action pills share one 44px / 999px-pill geometry
- task 04: dedicated Playwright suite tests/e2e/test_bottom_chat_actions.py (resting geometry, the A1 pin across the sticky range, A2 alignment + DOM order + mobile stack + 360px overflow bound + 44px touch targets, New chat / Share click-through) — green in isolation
- task 05: regression matrix green in isolation (pinned_composer 4, save_share_ux 5, chat_persistence 4, share_chat 4, chat_history 5, smoke 3); full gate green — unit + integration pass, app/ coverage 99% (>90%), ruff + pyright clean
Fixed: index.html meta description, empty-state sub and composer
placeholder (A1); app/config.py default suggestion chips → the four
neutral A2 defaults (BOR_SUGGESTIONS override unchanged); sources.html
KB page-sub → the current source model (git repos + local dirs +
uploaded archives, Sync pulls/imports); git-sources.html example URL
→ your-repo.git (A3); all 9 footers → neutral default in
span.footer-text (the phase-62 hook); E2E/unit conftests force the
code defaults so a local .env cannot leak corpus copy into tests;
new unit text pins + dedicated E2E suite.
Task 02 verification read-through — no change needed:
- sources.html sync result/error copy (matches the real sync behavior)
- tuning.html page-sub (accurate as written)
- history.html page-sub (accurate as written)
- doc-edit.html page-sub (accurate as written)
- git-sources.html page-sub (accurate as written)
- #sources-gate anonymous copy (accurate as written)
Phase 52's first pass shipped `position: sticky; bottom` on `.composer` and
called the phase done, but the owner's requirement — "the chat message-input
textarea should be at the bottom of the screen" — still failed in the browser:
on an empty/short chat the input rested just under the empty state (~57% of
the viewport) with a dead band down to the footer.
`position: sticky` can only pull a box UP toward the scrollport's bottom edge;
it can never push a box DOWN to meet it, so on a page that does not overflow
it is a no-op. The old story suite only exercised an overflowing conversation
(one test even asserted the buggy resting position as expected), which is why
the half-fix passed.
- `.messages { flex: 1 1 auto }` — absorbs a short page's free space so the
composer's resting in-flow position is the bottom of the full-height column
(body min-height:100dvh -> .app-main flex:1 -> .chat-shell flex:1); basis
stays `auto`, no height cap, no overflow — the document stays the scroller
- `.composer { bottom: env(safe-area-inset-bottom, 0) }` — the explicit 0
fallback replaces the env()-only offset, which degraded to `auto` (no pin)
wherever env() is unsupported
- E2E: `test_empty_chat_composer_sits_in_normal_flow` ->
`..._at_the_screen_bottom` (chrome-only band below the resting composer);
the phone suite now checks the resting position as well as the pinned one
- Unit pins: the flex-grow half and the full-height column are pinned, so the
fix cannot silently regress to sticky-only
Still CSS-only — no DOM change, no JS, no new scroll call site (phase 42
never-auto-scroll contract intact), no z-index.
Verified: 1019 unit/integration tests pass (app/ coverage 99%), ruff and
pyright clean; tests/e2e/test_pinned_composer.py green in isolation (4), plus
the stop/autoscroll/persistence/mobile-nav suites and 14 layout/scroll
neighbours green in isolation.
