Sometimes the user lands in chat mode without realizing — surface the
mode the message went out on as a small uppercase pill right after the
timestamp in the role header.
- roleTimestamp(when, mode) gains an optional mode arg. Agent renders
in accent; Chat renders in muted/neutral. Other values render
nothing (back-compat for older history without the field).
- The three roleTimestamp call sites pass metadata?.mode through.
- chat.js writes mode into the user-message metadata at send time and
into the assistant metadata when the active-stream render lands,
reading toggleState.mode so research/agent overrides upstream still
flow through correctly.
Historical messages from before this change just don't show the pill —
graceful fallback, no migration needed.
Pressing ArrowUp on an empty #message composer restores the last sent user text, matching common chat-app UX (Slack, Discord, ChatGPT).
- Read from #chat-history .msg-user dataset.raw (same path as resend/regenerate), not session sidebar metadata
- Literal empty check (whitespace-only drafts are preserved); ignore Shift/Alt/Ctrl/Meta and IME composition
- Extract wiring to composerArrowUpRecall.js; rAF + 250ms retry only (no global MutationObserver)
- Add tests/test_composer_arrow_up_recall_js.py

* 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.
Let the agent pause and ask the user a multiple-choice question when a
task is genuinely ambiguous and the answer changes what it does next —
choosing between approaches, confirming an assumption, picking a target —
instead of guessing.
Modeled on the existing `ui_control` marker pattern: the `ask_user` tool
returns an `ask_user` payload that the agent loop emits as an SSE event
and then ends the turn. The frontend renders the question with clickable
option buttons, a free-text "Other" input, and an x to dismiss; the user's
choice is sent as the next message and the agent resumes with it in
context.
- src/tool_execution.py: `ask_user` handler — pure UI marker, no I/O.
Validates a non-empty question + 2..6 options, normalizes string/object
options, returns the payload.
- src/agent_loop.py: emit the `ask_user` event and break the round loop so
the turn ends and waits for the user's selection. Stream the question as
assistant text so it persists/replays (prevents a re-ask loop).
- Registration: TOOL_TAGS, ALWAYS_AVAILABLE, BUILTIN_TOOL_DESCRIPTIONS,
FUNCTION_TOOL_SCHEMAS, the system-prompt blurb. Not admin-gated (any
user can be asked); the structured args serialize via the default
json.dumps path.
- routes/chat_routes.py: relay the `ask_user` event to the client.
- static/js/chat.js + static/style.css: render the question card (options +
free-text Other + dismiss x; removed once answered). Reuses CSS vars and
the .modal-close button; emoji go through the monochrome-SVG pipeline.
Bump chat.js cache pin.
- tests/test_ask_user_tool.py: payload, multi flag, string options, option
cap, validation errors, serializer round-trip, registration.
* feat: Add workspace: confine agent tools to a folder
Pick a server folder as the agent's workspace so its file/shell tools work
there and don't touch files outside it. File tools are hard-confined; bash/
python run with cwd set to the folder.
Includes a slash command: `/workspace` (alias `/ws`) — show / `set <path>` /
`clear` / `pick` (open the directory browser).
- routes/workspace_routes.py: GET /api/workspace/browse (admin-only).
- src/tool_execution.py: hard path confinement for read_file/write_file;
bash/python cwd. Threaded route → stream_agent_loop → execute_tool_block.
- src/agent_loop.py: workspace note prepended to the system prompt.
- static/: overflow menu item, input-bar pill, directory-browser modal, and
the /workspace slash command.
- tests/test_workspace_confine.py.
* Wire workspace confinement into tools that landed after this PR
edit_file (#1239) and grep/glob/ls (#1670) merged after workspace-confine was
written, so they bypassed the workspace boundary. Thread the workspace through:
- edit_file: _do_edit_file resolves via _resolve_tool_path_in_workspace
- grep/glob/ls: _resolve_search_root confines to the workspace (root + paths)
- bash/python/bg cwd: workspace or _AGENT_WORKDIR (keep the #2586 data-dir
default when no workspace is set)
Tests cover edit_file + grep/ls confinement (inside ok, outside rejected).
* Workspace picker: editable path bar + modal style cohesion + cross-platform hardening
- Make the current-folder strip an editable address bar: type/paste a full
path and press Enter to navigate (also reaches other Windows drives and
hidden dirs the up-only browser cannot).
- Reuse shared modal CSS: drop bespoke .workspace-modal-content/.workspace-btn*
in favour of base .modal-content/.modal-body and the .confirm-btn button
family; separators/hover use var(--border). Net -31 CSS lines.
- Fix the path field overflowing the modal right edge (flex stretch + margin
vs an overflow:auto scrollbar-feedback loop): full-bleed, no h-margin.
- Cross-platform confinement: normcase the workspace commonpath check so
containment holds on case-insensitive filesystems (Windows/macOS).
- Make tests OS-portable: sibling temp dirs instead of /etc, python os.getcwd()
instead of pwd. 5 pass.
* feat: round-limit handling — Continue affordance at the cap + configurable cap
When the agent loop runs out of rounds (per-message step cap, default 20)
while still actively using tools, it stopped silently mid-task. Now:
1. The loop emits a `rounds_exhausted` SSE event at the cap, and the UI shows
a "Continue" pill at the bottom of the chat that resumes the task from where
it left off. Repeated cap-hits each get a fresh Continue (multiple continues
in a row).
2. The cap is configurable in Settings → Agent ("Max steps per message"),
validated on the client, at the save endpoint, and at the read site.
- src/agent_loop.py: track `_exhausted_rounds` (set only when a full
tool-executing round completes on the last allowed round — i.e. the agent
wanted to keep going); emit `{"type":"rounds_exhausted","rounds":N}` (logged).
- routes/chat_routes.py: read `agent_max_rounds` (clamped 1..200), pass as
`max_rounds`; forward the new event through the SSE relay.
- routes/auth_routes.py: validate numeric settings on save (int + clamp;
agent_max_rounds 1..200, agent_max_tool_calls 0..1000; 400 on non-int).
- src/settings.py: default `agent_max_rounds = 20`.
- static/: Settings input + client-side clamp; the Continue pill (reuses the
existing .stopped-indicator / .continue-btn classes and theme vars
--border/--fg/--bg/--accent); appended to the chat container so it survives
the message re-render at stream finalize. chat.js cache version bumped.
* test: cover rounds_exhausted emission (cap-hit vs normal finish)
Drives the real stream_agent_loop with mocked LLM stream / tool exec / settings:
a tool block every round exhausts the cap and must emit rounds_exhausted; a
plain answer hits the done-break and must not. Guards the for/else logic.
* Add edit_file tool + file-change diffs
edit_file is an exact old_string -> new_string replacement on a file on disk
(fails if old_string is missing or non-unique unless replace_all); write_file
also returns a unified diff. Diffs render collapsed in the tool bubble
(filename + +adds/-dels, theme colors); the raw JSON command box is hidden.
Security: edit_file is a sensitive filesystem-write tool, treated everywhere
write_file is —
- added to NON_ADMIN_BLOCKED_TOOLS (is_public_blocked_tool / blocked_tools_for_owner),
so on auth-enabled deployments a non-admin cannot run it; execute_tool_block
refuses it for non-admin owners.
- confined by the same path policy as read_file/write_file (allowlist +
sensitive-file deny) via _resolve_tool_path.
Disambiguation in tool descriptions + bash prompt: edit_file/write_file are the
only way to write files (they show a diff) — never edit_document (editor panel)
or a bash heredoc/redirect.
Tests (tests/test_edit_file.py): non-admin block (policy + execution gate),
successful edit, not-found old_string, non-unique old_string (+ replace_all),
and path outside the allowed roots.
Files: src/tool_execution.py, src/agent_loop.py, src/tool_schemas.py,
src/agent_tools.py, src/tool_index.py, static/js/chat.js, static/style.css,
tests/test_edit_file.py.
* Drop redundant import os in write_file closure
os is already imported at module top.
* fix: live-resume chat stream on session re-entry (#2539)
When a session was re-entered after a page refresh or in a new tab while
its agent run was still streaming, the UI showed a frozen "Generating
response..." spinner, polled stream_status until the run finished, and
then did a full reload. The live tokens were never shown.
Add resumeStream() in chat.js: it consumes GET /api/chat/resume/{id}
(which replays the run's buffer then streams live), renders reply tokens
as they arrive, and reloads the session on completion for the canonical
final render. sessions.js _checkServerStream now calls it on re-entry and
falls back to the previous spinner+poll path if it is unavailable.
* Finalize plain-text resume in place instead of reloading
On stream completion, resumeStream() called selectSession(), forcing a full
history re-fetch and a visible flicker right as the stream finished.
For plain text replies (no tool calls, sources, doc streaming, or multi-round
output) the live tokens are already rendered, so finalize in place: replace the
live bubble with a canonical single message via chatRenderer.addMessage (markdown
+ footer actions + metrics, the same renderer history uses), captured from the
streamed metrics event. No history refetch, no extra round-trip, no flicker.
Rich responses still reload, since their canonical render (tool bubbles, sources,
multi-bubble) is rebuilt from the saved DB record.
* Use a dedicated set for the resume re-attach lock; fix stale docblock
resumeStream() marked its re-attach lock in _backgroundStreams, which
checkBackgroundStream() also reads. On a second re-entry of the same session
while a resume was still live, checkBackgroundStream() mistook that entry for a
same-tab POST stream and spawned its own spinner+poll bubble. Move the lock to a
dedicated _resumingStreams set (also covered by hasActiveStream) so the two paths
no longer collide. Also update the resumeStream docblock to describe the
in-place finalize vs reload split.
When submitting a message without a model/session configured, the
error path showed a help message but never cleared the textarea,
leaving the user's text stuck in the input field. Clear the input
and trigger autoResize on both the no-default-model and catch paths.
Fixes#1475

deleteMessage() bailed at `if (!sessionId) return;`, so the "x" on an output
shown before a model/API was selected did nothing — there's no session yet
(issue #1428). The session id is only needed for the server-side delete; without
one (or with no persisted message ids) we now fall through to removing the DOM,
so the "x" always at least dismisses the bubble.

CJK and other IME users confirm a candidate from the input-method popup by pressing Enter. The chat composer and the in-place message editor each bind a keydown handler that treats Enter (without Shift) as "submit", but they did not exclude the composition state. Pressing Enter to accept an IME candidate therefore sent the half-composed text (e.g. a stray "ce's") instead of just confirming the candidate.
These textareas intentionally hijack Enter to submit (Enter sends, Shift+Enter inserts a newline), which bypasses the browser's native form submission and the IME guard that comes with it, so the guard has to be re-added explicitly.
Add '&& !e.isComposing' to the three Enter-to-submit handlers: static/app.js (the main composer's button-submit path and its send/new-chat path) and static/js/chat.js (the editor for an already-sent message). Normal Enter (isComposing false) still submits; Shift+Enter still inserts a newline.
Tested: node --check on both files; manually verified with a Chinese IME that pressing Enter to pick a candidate no longer sends, and a message is sent only after composition ends.
* Accessibility: ARIA labels and toggle states
Screen readers couldn't name several icon-only controls or tell whether the
tool toggles were on. This adds accessible names and exposes toggle state,
with no behavior or layout change.
- Icon-only buttons get aria-label: web/shell tool toggles, the "more tools"
overflow button (+ aria-haspopup), and the color-reset buttons.
- Unlabeled inputs/selects get aria-label: memory + skills search, model-picker
search, memory sort, theme font/density selects, and the new-memory / skill
(title, when-to-use, how, tags) fields, which only had a visual floating label.
- Toggle state via aria-pressed, kept in sync at the existing .active write
sites: web/shell toggles (setupToggle) and the Agent/Chat mode buttons
(initModeToggle). Static aria-pressed added in the markup so the attribute
exists before JS runs.
Scope: first slice of the ROADMAP accessibility pass. Focus-visible/contrast,
reduced-motion, and modal dialog roles/focus-trap are left for follow-ups.
Checks: node --check static/app.js. No Python touched.
* Accessibility: mark chat log busy while streaming
The chat log is an aria-live="polite" region, so streaming a response
token-by-token made screen readers announce every partial update — noisy and
unreadable. Set aria-busy="true" on #chat-history while a response streams and
back to "false" in the stream's finally block. Assistive tech then waits for
the settled message and announces it once.
Checks: node --check static/js/chat.js.
* fix(stream): read 'reasoning' SSE field for vLLM 0.20.2 / NIM
vLLM 0.20.2 / NVIDIA NIM emit reasoning-parser output in the `reasoning` delta field; older builds use `reasoning_content`. stream_llm() read only the latter, so reasoning from models like Nemotron-3-Nano (--reasoning-parser) was silently dropped and never rendered. Accept either field.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(agent): keep reasoning_content only on the latest assistant turn
The agent loop echoed each round's reasoning back as `reasoning_content` on every assistant turn, assuming vendors ignore it. Nemotron's chat template re-injects ALL prior reasoning_content as <think> blocks, and the loop is trimmed only once (before it starts) — so reasoning accumulated unbounded across rounds, bloating context and feeding the model its own prior reasoning, which reinforced repetition/looping. Strip reasoning_content from earlier assistant turns so only the most recent round carries it (still satisfies DeepSeek's thinking-mode follow-up requirement).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(agent-ui): wrap each round's reasoning in its own <think> block
The streamed think-tag wrapper gated on whole-message substring checks (accumulated.includes('<think>')), which only ever wrapped ONE reasoning block per message. A multi-round agent response has a reasoning phase per round, so once round 1 closed its <think>...</think>, rounds 2+ reasoning was emitted unwrapped and leaked into the visible answer. Replace the substring checks with a stateful open/close flag that toggles per think/answer cycle, so each round's reasoning gets its own collapsible block. Single-turn chat is unchanged (one open, one close).

* test(stream): reasoning/reasoning_content delta surfaces as thinking chunk
Covers @pewdiepie-archdaemon's requested regression: a streamed {reasoning: ...} delta emits a thinking chunk while {content: ...} streams as normal content; plus the older reasoning_content field for backward compat. Mirrors the #591 scenario.

When the selected model fails before producing output, stream_llm_with_fallback
quietly switches to the next candidate and the reply is shown under the
originally selected model's name, so a misconfigured provider looks like it
works. (Concretely: a Bedrock gateway that 400s every Anthropic/Claude request
appears fine because another model silently answers under the Claude label.)
Emit a `fallback` SSE event ({selected_model, answered_by, reason}) the first
time a non-primary candidate produces output, forward it through the agent loop
and both chat-route paths, stamp the response metrics with the model that
actually answered, and show a notice + relabel the reply in the UI.
Tested: python -m pytest tests/test_llm_core_fallback.py (3 pass);
python -m py_compile src/llm_core.py src/agent_loop.py routes/chat_routes.py;
node --check static/js/chat.js.
Typing / in the chat composer now shows a filtered popup listing all
available commands with their description. Arrow keys or Tab to select,
Enter/Tab to insert, Esc to close, click also works.
- New module: static/js/slashAutocomplete.js
Reads the existing COMMANDS registry (and LEGACY_ALIASES) from
slashCommands.js — no command logic added here, just discovery UI.
Excludes easter-egg commands (flip, roll, 8ball, fortune, odyssey,
ascii). Promotes short legacy aliases (/new, /clear, /web, /compact,
/research, etc.) as first-class rows so users don't have to know the
full /session new form.
- slashCommands.js: export COMMANDS and LEGACY_ALIASES so the new
module can read the registry.
- chat.js: lazy-import slashAutocomplete on init, wire to #message
textarea.
- style.css: popup + row styles using existing CSS variables.
