* feat: Add plan mode to the chat agent
Adds a plan mode: the agent investigates read-only, proposes a checklist, and
waits for approval before changing anything. On approval it runs with full
tools and checks items off as it goes. Enforcement reuses the existing
disabled_tools gate.
Includes a slash command: `/plan [on|off]` (and `/toggle plan`) to flip the
plan toggle from the chat input.
- src/tool_security.py, src/mcp_manager.py: read-only allowlist (tools + MCP).
- src/agent_loop.py, routes/chat_routes.py: union the disabled set, prepend the
plan directive, force agent mode.
- static/: plan toggle pill, Approve & Run, dockable plan window, task-list
checkboxes, and the /plan slash command.
- tests/test_plan_mode.py.
* Plan mode: persistent re-referenceable plan + agent write-back
Three improvements so a long plan survives a weak model and stays in reach:
1. Re-reference the plan (out-of-context fix). On the execution turn the frontend
sends the approved checklist back (`approved_plan`); the backend pins it as a
top-of-context `## ACTIVE PLAN` system note (kept by the context trimmer), so
the agent can always re-read the plan instead of losing the thread on a long
run. New `build_active_plan_note()` (unit-tested).
2. Re-open / dock the plan anytime. The plan checklist is stored per-session
(localStorage). When a plan exists, the plan-mode button opens a small menu
("Show plan" / "Plan mode: On/Off") that re-opens the side-dockable plan
window — so it can stay docked while the agent works. The window live-refreshes
as the plan changes.
3. Agent write-back: new `update_plan` tool. The agent calls it to tick steps
`- [x]` after finishing them, or to revise steps when the user asks. Marker
tool (no I/O) → `plan_update` SSE event → the stored plan + docked window
update live. The ACTIVE PLAN note instructs the agent to use it.
Backend: src/agent_loop.py (param + pin + note builder + emit + prompt blurb),
src/tool_execution.py (update_plan handler), routes/chat_routes.py (parse
`approved_plan`, relay `plan_update`), registration in tool_schemas / agent_tools
/ tool_index (always-available, not admin-gated).
Frontend: static/js/chat.js (plan store, send `approved_plan`, handle
`plan_update`, capture restated checklists), static/app.js (plan-button menu),
static/js/planWindow.js (`isPlanWindowOpen`), static/js/storage.js (PLAN key).
Tests: tests/test_plan_mode.py (plan-note), tests/test_update_plan_tool.py.
* Plan mode: drop bash/python, rely on read-only discovery tools
Shell can mutate (write files, hit the network) and can't be constrained to
read-only at the tool layer, so plan mode no longer relies on a prompt to keep
it well-behaved — bash/python are removed from the read-only allowlist and added
to the fail-closed block set. Discovery is covered by the dedicated read-only
tools (read_file, grep, glob, ls) instead.
Rewrites the plan-mode directive to state shell is disabled and lists the
available read-only tools positively. Addresses review feedback on #638.

* Comment: note _MCP_READONLY_VERBS are prefixes not whole words
Clarifies that entries like "summar" are intentional stems matched via
startswith (covers summarise/summarize/summary), not typos. Addresses review
feedback on #638.

* Plan mode: clarify why gating inverts the allowlist into a denylist
Rename _PLAN_MODE_FALLBACK_BLOCK -> _PLAN_MODE_KNOWN_MUTATORS and rewrite the
comments. The tool gate is a denylist (disabled_tools); plan mode's policy is an
allowlist, so it returns the inverse (all known tool names minus the allowlist).
The static mutator set is a backstop for the schema-derived name list, which
misses XML-only tools and can fail to import. Addresses review feedback on #638.

* Plan mode: stop hardcoding the read-only tool list in the directive
The model is already shown its available (read-only) tools by _assemble_prompt,
which removes every disabled tool. Enumerating them again in the directive only
duplicated that list and would drift as tools change. Point at the tools listed
below instead. Addresses review feedback on #638.
Chat models often emit GitHub/Slack-style :shortcode: text (e.g. 😊,
🎤) instead of the actual emoji. The renderer only converted real
Unicode emoji to the monochrome line icons, so shortcodes rendered as literal
text.
Add a pure, browser-free shortcode->Unicode map (emojiShortcodes.js) and run it
inside svgifyEmoji ahead of the existing Unicode->SVG pass, skipping <code>/<pre>
so code stays literal. Covers ~430 common shortcodes plus common aliases
(+1/thumbsup, etc.).
Keep the conversion from touching anything it shouldn't:
* Scope it to chat. mdToHtml/svgifyEmoji take a { shortcodes } option (default
on); document and email body rendering (compose, export, preview) pass it as
false so author-typed :shortcode: text stays literal. The Unicode->SVG pass
still runs there exactly as before.
* Only convert a :shortcode: that stands on its own. A word-boundary guard
leaves embedded colon runs alone, so "1:100:2", "10:30:45", "16:9" and
host:fire:port are never rewritten.
Tests: extend the node-driven unit test with the boundary/false-positive cases,
and fix the markdown-rendering test loader to resolve the new emojiShortcodes
import.
* fix: markdown table renders separator row as visible data
The alignment separator (|---|---|) at row index 1 was rendered as a
<td> row with dashes as cell content. Skip it and only open <tbody>
at that point, so tables render as header + data without the garbage
separator row in between.
* test: add regression test for table separator row rendering
Verifies that the markdown table renderer skips the separator row
(|---|---|) instead of rendering it as a visible data row. Also
updates the test harness to handle the splitTableRow import.
`mdToHtml` deliberately stashes literal <details> blocks and <a> tags from
the source text *before* the global HTML-escape pass and restores them
verbatim into the string callers assign to `innerHTML` (e.g. chatRenderer's
`b.innerHTML = ...processWithThinking(text)`). Nothing scrubbed those
fragments, so message/agent content containing
`<details><img src=x onerror=...></details>` or
`<a href="javascript:..." onmouseover=...>` executed arbitrary script in
the authenticated page.
Route both stashed fragments through `sanitizeAllowedHtml()`, which parses
them in an inert <template> (no resource loads, no script execution),
removes script-capable elements, and strips event-handler attributes plus
javascript:/vbscript:/data: URL schemes. Hardening details:
- Compare tag names case-insensitively and drop the SVG/MathML foreign-
content roots. An SVG-namespaced <script> has the lower-case tagName
'script', so an HTML-only upper-case check would miss it — a real bypass.
- Sanitize to a fixpoint (re-parse + re-clean until stable) to blunt
mutation-XSS, where re-serializing/re-parsing reshapes the tree.
Benign anchors and <details> blocks are preserved unchanged.
Verified under jsdom against the obvious vectors plus mutation-XSS probes
(svg/math-namespaced <script>, foreignObject, ns-confusion, comment
breakout, template smuggling): no script/iframe element, event handler, or
javascript:/data: URL survives, and benign markup is kept.

Follow-up to #271. Skip svgifyEmoji when body.text-emojis is set so
deEmojify can strip Unicode from replies; also unwrap existing .emoji
spans from messages rendered before the setting was applied.
