All criteria verified. This pass found no defects — the phase was fully implemented by prior task runs, and every gate is green.
**Phase 175 final verification pass — report**
- Verified tasks 01–03 implementation in-tree: `list_chats` `?limit=` (25, 1–100) / `?offset=` + `func.count` `total`; `SavedChatList.total` required; `#history-pager` below `#history-table-wrap` (hidden default, aria-labels, aria-hidden SVGs); `history.js` `PAGE_SIZE=25`/offset state, parameterized fetch, `updatePager`, refresh-keeps-current-page; CSS pill union + ≤640px block. No code changes were needed.
- Full suite: `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **exit 0, TOTAL 99%** (>90% gate).
- `uv run ruff check .` → all checks passed; `uv run pyright` → 0 errors, 0 warnings.
- Phase E2E in isolation: `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_history_pagination.py -v --no-cov` → **9 passed** (page 1-of-2 / 2-of-2 walk, replace-not-append, refresh-on-page-2, delete-to-empty + single-page hide, anonymous no-fetch, 375px mobile, a11y/no-CDN).
- Regression set, each in isolation: test_chat_history 5✓, test_history_page_width 5✓, test_share_chat 4✓, test_stale_saved_chats 3✓, test_history_copy 1✓; integration `test_chats_api.py` green (incl. updated `test_list_empty` two-key pin and all five new pagination pins).
- Completion criteria: all nine boxes satisfied (API slice/422/honest-total pins ✓; E2E walk + status lines ✓; refresh/delete/hide ✓; anonymous gate ✓; mobile ✓; gates ✓; E2E + regression ✓; docs ✓; commit/phase-move is the harness's).
- Documentation: README.md reviewed in full — the saved-chats section already carries the `?limit=`/`?offset=`/`total` contract from this phase; all 31 `.env.example` vars documented; AGENTS.md verified accurate. **Consistent — no changes needed.**
- Deviations: none. No defects found in previously completed work.
- Next pending phase: none — 175 is the only entry in `todo/`.
Everything is verified. All gates green on the current working tree. Final report:
**Phase 156 — final verification pass (all 4 task files present in `complete/` — no outstanding work)**
- **Verified (not re-implemented):** bounded-panel `.table-wrap` (`max-height: min(70vh, 64rem)`, `overflow: auto`, opaque sticky `th` via `var(--brand-soft)`), `.cell-clip` ellipsis rule + the five label families in the three renderers, the added aria-labels, unit pins (incl. `.md-table-wrap` byte-unchanged scope guard, `#git-sources-table-wrap` harmony — no divergent rule), dedicated E2E suite (sticky ×3 tables, horizontal contract, computed-style ellipsis + reachable full text, mobile hamburger + scroll + pin)
- **Tests/lint/coverage:** `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **3570 passed, 99% on `app/`** (gate >90%); `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_table_ux_polish.py -v --no-cov` (DB up) → **6/6 passed in isolation**; `uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright` → **clean** (0 errors)
- **Completion criteria:** sticky header all 3 tables (exact-0 offset while `scrollTop > 0`) ✅ · horizontal scroll unchanged ✅ · ellipsis computed style + actual clip + title/aria reachable ✅ · mobile ≤640px contract ✅ · full suite/E2E/lint/coverage ✅ · atomic commit: **harness commits this phase after the pass** (per pipeline protocol — no git history commands run by me)
- **Documentation:** AGENTS.md phase-156 wording (bounded panels, sticky headers, `.cell-clip` + aria-label idiom) matches the implementation exactly — verified consistent; README.md reviewed in full (pages/URLs vs registered routes, all `.env.example` vars documented, Quick Start, eval/llm scripts, compose prod profile, E2E examples) — verified consistent, no changes needed (README describes no table layout/scroll, so no phase-156 mention required)
- **Deviations:** none — all work was already in the working tree; this pass re-verified every gate and the docs
- **Next pending phase:** `157_chat_chip_cap`
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/.
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.
