**Phase 118 final verification pass — complete.** All criteria verified; 4 pre-existing defects found and fixed.
- **Verified:** summary-seed wiring (`select_suggested` top-5 no-floor → summary blocks, no full text in HIGH prompt), all-doc markdown summaries + NULL backfill (`summary_backfilled`, no `sources_meta` bump), `read` adds full text with `read_docs`-only dedupe, `done.sources` = suggested+read / durable record = suggested+related+read + `suggested=N` log line (seen live in E2E), byte-locked PERSONA/LOW/TOOLS_SECTION, battery gate PASS recorded in `TOOL_CALLING_TESTING.md` §10 (turbo 2026-09-16: 1/2/4 GREEN, cond-3 reported 9/10 per A7, contract 21/21, caps 0).
- **Defects fixed (all pre-existing, none phase-118):** ① `ChatMessage` schema missing the phase-113 `related` key → `extra="forbid"` 422'd every done-time auto-save of grounded turns with a related tier, leaving `message_count=1` (root cause of `test_share_chat` 3F; browser-level instrumentation proved the PUT 422) — added the field + unit/integration pins; ② `test_theme_semantic_completion` pins stale vs phase-117 debox (border/chip removed) — re-targeted to assert border/chip *absence*; ③ `test_header_consistency` `<26`px pin red on 26.125px native date-input line — bound relaxed to `<34` (wrap-detection intent kept); ④ `test_navbar_refresh` bor.chat.v1 key set updated for `related`.
- **Test/lint/coverage:** `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **2506 passed, app/ 99%** (>90%); `uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright` → clean, 0 errors.
- **E2E:** new story suite in isolation → **2 passed**; full 103-suite matrix sweep (each isolated) → **all 103 green** after the fixes; `test_share_chat` 4 passed, `test_theme_semantic_completion` 8 passed, `test_header_consistency` 3 passed, `test_navbar_refresh` 7 passed.
- **Deviations:** none from LOCKED decisions. Note: orphaned diagnostic uvicorn processes briefly made E2E sessions exercise stale code — killed and re-verified; a sweep-regenerated tracked screenshot was restored. No commits made (harness commits).
- **Completion criteria:** all 7 ✅ (commit/phase-move is the harness's step).
- **Next pending phase:** none — `todo/` holds only this phase's overview pending the harness move.
All gates green. Final report:
**Phase 109 — final verification pass (all 3 tasks were already complete; no re-implementation needed)**
- Verified D15 (thinking-handler re-open `block.open = true` after `ensureThinkingBlock`; delta keeps closing; "never reopens" narrative removed; restore path still collapses) and D16 (single static `#turn-loader` in composer row, `aria-hidden`, sole `turnLoader.hidden = !inFlight` write in `setUiState`; CSS reuses `typing` keyframes + reduced-motion override after the main rule + provenance; global `[hidden]` guard intact; mock `TURN_PROGRESS_TRIGGER` repro marker; `app/` untouched — pure UI phase).
- Unit pins: `tests/unit/test_frontend_turn_loader.py` (9 tests) — green via full run.
- `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_turn_progress_loader.py -v --no-cov` → **3 passed** (isolation, DB up): loader visible send→tool-gap→final-thinking, hidden after done; re-opened scratchpad carries `marker-thought-42`/`marker-final-thought-42`; `#send-status` carries state text, back to empty idle; reduced-motion context stills dots (computed `animation-name: none`) with loader still visible.
- Regressions in isolation: `test_thinking_display` 5 passed, `test_stop_generation` 3 passed, `test_big_read_progress` 4 passed, `test_loading_feedback` 5 passed.
- `uv run pytest` → **2314 passed**; `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **TOTAL 99%** (>90%); `uv run ruff check .` clean; `uv run pyright` → 0 errors, 0 warnings.
- All terminal paths (done→idle L2554, stream error→error L2543, timeout→error L2247) funnel through `setUiState` — never-stale by construction.
- No defects found; no code changes made in this pass. Commit + phase-dir move left to the harness per pipeline rules (working tree carries all changes).
- Next pending phase: `108_history_wire_check` (still in `todo/`; out of scope here).
**Phase 100 — final verification pass: all green.**
- Verified the shipped CSS contract directly: `--chat-column: 72rem` in `:root`; 0 literal `max-width: 46rem`; no `@media (min-width: 1500px)` block; exactly 4 token-capped reading columns; tuning/theme/doc-edit shells cap-free, structurally `.sources-shell`; `mock_llm.py` diff is comment-only.
- Defect found & fixed (phase-93 suite): `test_theme_semantic_completion.py::test_reset_removes_tag_byte_identical` raced theme.js's post-PUT refetch — it asserted the `#bor-theme` tag was gone right after the result line, but tag removal lands in the reconcile after the re-fetch (failed ~1 in 5 runs after `test_chat_rag`, reproduced). Fixed with an auto-waiting `expect(...).to_have_count(0)` (settled-state wait, the file's existing house pattern). 6/6 clean on the repro loop after.
- Tests/lint/coverage: `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → 2052 passed, **99%** on `app/`; `uv run ruff check .` + `uv run pyright` → 0 errors.
- E2E in isolation (all passed): `test_wide_desktop_column.py` 3 (the phase suite — chat==tuning==theme==RAG ±4px at 1280 & 1920, ≈1152px; shared ≈1152px; standalone doc ≈1112px; modal unchanged ≈1100px; 360px overflow-free), `test_ui_customization` 4, `test_admin_theme_tab` 5, `test_document_viewer` 7, `test_save_share_ux` 5, `test_sticky_navbar` 3, `test_markdown_tables` 6, `test_responsive_polish` 7, `test_chat_rag` 3, `test_theme_semantic_completion` 8.
- Completion criteria: ① measured 72rem everywhere (≥~1200px, ±4px) + full-width below + 360px clean — **PASS** (E2E); ② zero 46rem rules / no 1500px block / four token selectors — **PASS** (grep + unit pins); ③ B4 byte-identical no-op + mobile squeeze — **PASS** (theme + responsive suites green); ④ full suite / coverage / lint — **PASS**; ⑤ atomic commit — left to the harness per executor protocol (all changes in the working tree, uncommitted).
- Deviations: none from phase decisions; only change in this pass is the race fix above (test-only, behavior unchanged).
- Next pending phase: `98_sync_summary_visibility` (numeric order in `todo/`; also pending: 99, 101–105).
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.
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).
- scrollReveal lands at the document bottom (window.scrollTo) instead of
scrollIntoView({ block: 'end' }): the old alignment sat above the
in-flow composer, so every Enter hopped the page up by the
composer+footer height and pushed the composer below the fold.
- The thinking window's pin state is now captured BEFORE the re-render
(const pinned = block.open && isThinkingNearBottom(textEl)): the
post-render distance read the new chunk's rendered height, not the
user's position, so any chunk taller than the 32px band (real-model
deltas, '\n\n' paragraph breaks) killed the follow at the first
2-newline gap.
- Mock LLM: new 'think in paragraphs' trigger (scratchpad with real
blank-line breaks, 60-char frames) — the 12-char mock frames never
rendered past the band, which is why the bug survived the E2E gates.
- E2E (both verified red against the old code):
test_submit_does_not_hop_up, test_thinking_window_follows_across_paragraph_breaks.
- Unit source-marker tests updated to the new contracts.
Phase 45 (owner permission 2026-08-27, TODO.md L8: "allow the LLM
to make as many tool calls as it wants"): the phase-37 per-turn tool
budgets (BOR_AGENT_LIST_CALLS / BOR_AGENT_READ_CALLS, default 1 each)
and their exhaustion refusals are removed — a grounded turn now offers
list_documents / read_document for the whole turn (re-lists included),
bounded only by the round cap:
- app/config.py: agent_max_rounds (BOR_AGENT_MAX_ROUNDS, default 10,
negative rejected) replaces agent_list_calls / agent_read_calls;
.env.example + README document the single knob; app/rag/prompts.py
docstrings follow.
- app/rag/agent.py: the loop runs tools until the model answers or
rounds >= max_rounds, at which point it forces one final no-tools
answer (the cap is the only forced exit); 0 = no tools — exactly one
tools=None request, byte-identical to the pre-phase-37 path (the
kill switch). Rejected calls (unknown tool / missing args /
already-in-context / unknown path) still consume a round, so
pathological rejected-call streams are bounded by the cap. The
per-call log line is now tool/args/round=N/M; the per-turn
tool_calls=N field and the tool SSE event are unchanged.
- tests/e2e/mock_llm.py: MULTI_READ_TRIGGER ("read two documents") —
the deterministic list -> read #1 -> read #2 -> forced-answer flow
(byte-stable "I read <sp1> and <sp2>." line), classified by the
count of tool-role read results; the phase-37 single-read flow stays
byte-identical (unit-pinned in tests/unit/test_mock_tool_flow.py).
- tests/e2e/test_agent_unlimited_tools.py (new, story suite,
mock-only): three tool frames/lines in order (one list, two reads —
the second read is what the old read budget refused) + the
both-named non-deflected answer; done.sources + chips = retrieval
doc + both reads, deduped; no budget refusal rendered; the
single-read marker flow regression (exactly one read, single tool
pair).
- .agent/PLAN.md: the phase-45 SSE revision note (owner-locked, R2) —
the only PLAN edit this phase; the phase-37 note's budget clause is
marked removed.
Unit/integration rewrites (test_agent.py round-cap matrix incl. the
kill switch and rejected-call spam, test_config.py, test_chat_api.py
agent_max_rounds=0 fixtures) landed with the server core so every gate
stays green.
uv run pytest: 756 passed, app/ coverage 99%; ruff + pyright clean;
story E2E 4/4 in isolation (ran twice); regression E2E suites
(agent_document_tools unmodified, chat_rag, smoke) green in isolation.
Also records the 45_agent_unlimited_tools todo/ -> complete/ task-file
moves (00/01/02 pending in the working tree, task 03 moves on success).
GFM pipe tables in the shared renderer (TODO.md L6): a table-protection
pass in frontend/assets/markdown.js (fences -> tables -> escape order)
pulls each header+separator+body block out as a placeholder, renders
cells escape-first with the same inline transforms, and reinserts a
semantic <table class="md-table"> inside a horizontal-overflow
.md-table-wrap — so a pipe table in a chat answer, the document
viewer/modal, and the thinking block all render the same semantic
table. Fences win over tables; lone pipes stay text.
- styles.css: .md-table palette rules (PLAN §7.2 tokens, no motion);
min-width: max-content so a WIDE table keeps its natural width and
the wrapper is the real scroller (width:100% alone wrapped the wide
table's cells — proven by the new E2E).
- mock_llm.py: TABLE_TRIGGER ("show me a table") -> byte-stable
TABLE_ANSWER (3-column table, <img onerror> XSS probe line, wide
5-column table), checked before DEFLECT_MODE like SUMMARY_MODE.
- tests/fixtures/docs/homelab/tables.md: 3x3 pipe table + pipe-heavy
fenced block (viewer/fence subject); the shared fixture set grows
8 -> 9 docs, so every suite pinning the count (added/formats/
stat-docs/EXPECTED_ROWS) is updated accordingly.
- tests/e2e/test_markdown_tables.py (new, story suite): chat table
shape + non-deflection, wide-table wrapper scroll (no page
overflow), XSS probe inert, viewer modal table, fence-not-a-table,
lone pipe stays text.
- tests/e2e/test_agent_document_tools.py: fix a pre-existing flake —
the "Calling tool…" label window is ~0.4 s at the mock's 0.1 s
tool-frame pacing, and a polling expect could stride over it
(failed 3 of 5 runs on the committed baseline). The pre-submit
MutationObserver record is the deterministic source of truth; the
racy to_have_text gate is gone.
uv run pytest: 738 passed, app/ coverage 99% (TOTAL unchanged);
ruff + pyright clean; story E2E 6/6 in isolation; regression E2E
suites (chat_rag, document_viewer, document_summaries, smoke) green.
Grounded chat turns now run the agent loop (app/rag/agent.py) instead
of a bare chat_stream: while the per-turn budgets last
(BOR_AGENT_LIST_CALLS / BOR_AGENT_READ_CALLS, default 1 each) the model
gets list_documents (the indexed catalog, /api/docs order) and
read_document (full text, never truncated — A7-revised contract); once
both budgets are spent the tools key is dropped from the request and
the model must answer. Rejected calls (unknown tool, unknown/missing
path, document already in context, spent budget) consume no budget.
Budgets 0/0 make exactly one tools=None request — byte-identical to
the pre-phase path (budgets-as-kill-switch). Deflected turns keep the
direct chat_stream (A8 unchanged; the LOW prompt never carries the
<tools> section).
SSE contract gains {"type":"tool","name":...,"argument":
"source/path"|null} frames ahead of the answer deltas (PLAN §4
extension, owner permission 2026-08-26); done.sources, query_log.sources
and the per-turn log line (gains tool_calls=N) report the retrieval
docs + read docs, deduped. The UI shows a "calling tool"
button/label state and one visible .tool-call line per call above the
answer; the lines persist with the chat record and re-render on
reload. chat_stream passes tools through and accumulates streaming
tool_calls deltas into ToolCallPiece (tools=None stays byte-identical).
E2E: deterministic mock tool flow ("use your tools" + <tools> marker:
list -> read first catalog line -> quoted answer) plus the story suite
(marker flow, reload re-render, plain/deflected no-tool regressions).
Docs: .env.example + README (the two tools, the budgets, the SSE tool
frame, the "calling tool" UI state).
probe: turbo tool_calls=supported 2026-08-26 (uv run python -m
scripts.llm_probe --tools — non-streaming + streaming
finish_reason=tool_calls, indexed delta.tool_calls partials)
