amosblomqvist 3160829eb6 explain refinements: no opt-out row, one committed field (owner 2026-09-27)
Two follow-up rulings on the explain tool:

1. No 'I don't know' row — not needed in free recall. If he doesn't
   know, he says so in his own words; his text is the only answer
   channel. Dock: text mode is rowless again (the composer IS the
   surface); doctrine and the shared prompt chunk updated; the format
   branch and card revert to quiz-only dontKnow.

2. explanation + correctAnswer collapse into ONE field — the separate
   explanation was quiz remnant (MC needs the why outside its options;
   a free-text commitment carries its own reasoning). Schema is now
   {question, correctAnswer, details?}; the reveal shows the single
   committed answer; no explanation snapshots anywhere on the explain
   path.

1047/1047 tests, typecheck/lint/build green.

amosblomqvist 2f39766528 free-recall explain tool: the quizzing-mechanic switch (owner 2026-09-27)
Sycophancy mitigation as a structural commitment: the model writes its
full correctAnswer (plus explanation, in that order) BEFORE the learner
sees the question; the commitment rides the persisted call args, is
revealed on submit, and grades his free text in the model's next reply —
the client never grades free recall.

- tools.explain setting (segmented 'Quizzing — Multiple choice | Free
  recall' in Agent settings' Tools group): free arms explain and drops
  quiz for BOTH agents (prober variant carries no nodeId, same pattern
  as the probe quiz); mechanics keys never pass filterEnabledTools —
  quiz stays unwritable (the 2026-09-19 wedge ruling stands)
- doctrine lives pi-natively in the tool descriptions (owner ruling —
  no conditional system-prompt chunks): explain carries the commitment
  rule; the MC option-building craft moved out of the prompt into the
  quiz description; shared/20-question-tools.md slims to the
  quiz-agnostic core
- display seams: parseExplainInput (LaTeX-debris restoration included),
  dock text-mode with an 'I don't know' row (kbd row 0), AnsweredCard
  reveal (The answer / Why, no verdict chips), [Explain answer] format
- phases/plan seams recognize both quizzing tools' nodeId tags; explain
  answers deliberately feed no ledger evidence (no client grading to
  key on — a future ruling can parse the model's grade)

amosblomqvist d6d7c09e2e quiz nodeId required (owner ruling 2026-09-26): no untagged teach quizzes — boundary rejects, model retries tagged; off-map checks route to ask_user_question; anti-rush doctrine in schema+prompt; docs+comments updated 2026-09-27 02:05:51 +03:00
amosblomqvist b84ab1cdc0 fix: reasoning always renders above its message; dock drops delivered subagents at delivery
TWO owner-reported bugs from the live red-circle session
(chat_muhpyoll_27305e23), both investigated to root cause first:

1. THINKING BLOCKS UNDER THE MESSAGE. GLM emits trailing reasoning
   tokens, so the persisted content lands [text, thinking] (4 of the 6
   thinking-bearing messages from [21] on in that session) - and the
   view canon presented arrival order verbatim, rendering the reasoning
   UNDER its own message. Fix: projectView stable-partitions each
   assistant message - reasoning parts first (their own order kept),
   then text/tool parts. Owner ruling 2026-09-26: the reasoning belongs
   above, always. Covers live partials and settled records alike (one
   projection canon). NOT addressed (owner ruling): the plan_tools
   "missing" claim in the same session - wire-verified 11 tools incl.
   plan_init; GLM confabulation, no mitigation wanted.

2. DOCK CARDS LINGERING AFTER DELIVERY. /api/activity lists jobs with
   status "running", and the status flipped only in settleSteers at the
   DELIVERING TURN'S onFinish - so a subagent whose card was already
   visible in the transcript (marker injected mid-run) stayed in the
   background dock until the teacher finished teaching. Fix: flip the
   job at the moment the result reaches the learner - noteSteerVisible
   (jobs.ts) called from BOTH visibility seams: the marker's message_end
   wire event (live steer injection, ui-stream) and the write-ahead
   persist (the wake's input appends, chat-handler). finalizeJob is
   idempotent; settleSteers/runner-200 re-run it as a no-op, and the
   registry's delivery promise still settles exactly as before.

Tests: 1001/1001 - view-canon hoist pin (trailing [text, think, call]
projects reasoning-first; think-first unchanged), noteSteerVisible unit
pin (flip at the seam, idempotent, handoff no-op), and the mid-run
steering e2e now holds the turn open past the injection and pins the
job flipping done at the marker's message_end WHILE the turn still
streams. Live-verified read-only on the owner's server: the original
session reloads with every reasoning trigger above its message.

amosblomqvist ad0a6e5201 feat: Wave C pivot - steer markers, not follow-ups
Owner correction (2026-09-26, later): a real lesson is ONE continuous
teach->quiz->teach run - there are no run-would-stop moments mid-lesson,
and the run ends that DO exist are quiz stopper exits where delivery
must not fire. Subagent results must land BETWEEN messages INSIDE the
run, never splitting a toolCall from its toolResult.

Vehicle 1 now hands markers to agent.steer() - pi's STEERING queue:
the loop drains it at TURN BOUNDARIES (after a completed assistant
message AND its tool results - the bonded pair survives injection) and
again at RUN START (a continuation drains before its first LLM call),
then CONTINUES the run with the marker in context.
steeringMode "all" replaces followUpMode.

registerLiveAgent moved BEFORE runPiTurn and now hands pending markers
itself: the start poll drains the queue SYNCHRONOUSLY inside the
runPiTurn call, so a later registration would miss it. A marker
stranded by a quiz-terminated run therefore rides the ANSWER run's
first LLM call - the native replacement for the old continuation
coalescing.

Settlement reconciliation, the idle wake, probe-handoff exclusion,
and the registry-as-truth design are UNCHANGED; stranding is now
exactly the stopper-exit case.

Tests: jobs 45/45 (fakeAgent.steer; new pin - registration steers
pending markers into the new run, parked wake never fires); chat-flow
24/24 (new e2e through the real composition - a gated mid-run turn, a
marker delivered while the turn streams, record shape
[call, result, MARKER, response] with the marker adjacent to the
completed unit, the model SEES the marker in its next prompt, zero
wakes); full suite 999/999, tsc/lint/build green.

Live smoke (PORT=3004): research dispatched in the probe turn parked
behind the dangling quiz; on the quiz answer the marker injected at
the answer run's START poll - record [answer result, marker, teacher
response], job flipped done/delivered at settlement, brief card
rendered with its sources toggle.

Plan doc: docs/PI-NATIVE-MIGRATION-PLAN.md gains the pivot section.
Deferred (owner list): thinking blocks rendering after messages;
vanishing tool-call output tokens.

amosblomqvist 43ef004ab0 fix: pump wake turns double-appended their steer (Wave B regression)
A pump-fired wake turn carries its steer in the input appends, but the
pump only shifts its queue entry AFTER the turn registers - so the
handler's claimSteers popped that very steer too. The record-side
steerDelivered filter checks the PRE-write-ahead snapshot and cannot
see the carried copy: the marker persisted twice with the same
steer_<jobId> id, two view messages shared one React key, and the
client crashed on delivery (live: steer_job_muhlokbf_84e9373c).

This exact bug was known and fixed 2026-09-18 (the old claimSteers
received the incoming body messages and finalized-without-appending
anything the request already carried). Wave B's turn-root rewrite kept
only the record-side filter and lost the carried-side half.

The fix restores the carried filter: a steer whose id the input already
carries is claimed-and-finalized but never appended a second time.

Regression pin in chat-flow.test.ts drives the REAL pump end to end
(deliverJobResult with a real job record -> waitForIdle -> scripted
wake turn) and asserts exactly one copy + the wake response. Two test
lessons baked into comments: chatIdOf resolves a job steer's chat
through the JOB STORE (a synthetic jobId with no record silently
no-ops the pump), and deliverJobResult resolves at CLAIM time, not at
turn completion (the record assertion waits for the wake response).

The live-corrupted record (chat_muhlcltz) was deduped by hand.

amosblomqvist f3003d357a Wave D: native AgentEvent wire + client session rewrite (SDK purged)
Server: ui-stream.ts is verbatim pi AgentEvent passthrough (SSE data
lines + [DONE]); only app-level events are the loop-level error and
turn-settled terminal; onError carries raw provider text (owner ruling).

Client: useChat + the AI-SDK transport replaced by components/session-core.ts
(SessionModel: 409 identity-retry, optimistic c_ appends, absorbed()
adoption, needsContinuation, shared consume for POST + reattach) and the
session.ts hook; the golden-master grouping canon moved client-side into
core/view.ts (projectView); scanners read the native record (phaseAt3Lh,
danglingQuestionOf, graph toolParts, plan-blocks, runner, extraction).

Coverage: the native message is the unit (fork 3) with the call+result
inseparability bond rule; view-line-less messages (markers, error
results) are invisible to coverage and never checkpointed.

Deletes: chat-transport, projection, ui-message, their tests (ported to
tests/session-core.test.ts), and the ai + @ai-sdk/react dependencies —
the Vercel SDK is fully out of the tree. Wire pins in chat-flow rewritten
onto the AgentEvent dialect (eventsOf parser).

Gates: tsc clean, 994/994 tests, eslint clean, build green; live smoke
on PORT=3004 (verbatim wire → native record).

amosblomqvist 7ab47d4fcb Wave B: the native message record — input events, projection, adapter death
The chat record is now pi-native agent history (LhMessage[]), the AI SDK's
UIMessage transcript contract is gone from the server, and every client turn
arrives as ONE explicit input event.

Core (new):
- src/core/native-messages.ts — the LhMessage taxonomy (user/assistant/
  toolResult + lhMarker customs: verdict, probe-handoff, subagent-steer,
  subagent-abort, plan-block), constructors, and toLlmMessages — the single
  model-facing seam (convertToLlm): strips ids, flattens markers to user
  text, drops UI-only plan-blocks, synthesizes INTERRUPTED results for
  dangling aborted calls, never throws.
- src/core/projection.ts — projectNative: the one-way native → UIMessage
  projection (consecutive assistant+toolResult runs group into one
  assistant view message; toolResults attach backward by toolCallId;
  markers project to data parts; plan-blocks splice after the last
  successful plan_init). Every existing consumer reads through it.
- src/core/input-events.ts — the ChatInput union (text/answer/verdict/
  continue), parseChatInput validation, and inputAppends (answer targets
  the dangling question call or 400s; verdict = optional note user
  message + native verdict marker).

Server:
- chat-handler.ts — the turn root takes {chatId, input}; write-ahead
  persists input appends + claimed steers before the turn; claimSteers
  coalesces the whole queue with the handler's steerDelivered filter as
  the dedupe seam; teacher-vs-prober branch on hasProbeDone.
- turn-service.ts — persistTurn stamps ids, drops clean question
  placeholder toolResults (the record ends at the unanswered call),
  emits plan-block markers idempotently (plan-blocks.ts rewrite), and
  persists abort partials.
- ui-stream.ts — PiTurnSpec takes the native base; the wire dialect is
  unchanged. jobs.ts steers are native markers (steer_<jobId> dedup ids);
  waitForIdle reads danglingQuestionOf. teacher-agent.ts wires
  convertToLlm: toLlmMessages. record-adapter.ts DELETED wholesale.
- GET /api/chats/[id] serves messages: projectNative(record.messages).

Client:
- chat-transport.ts — the 409 retry is IDENTITY (re-POST the same event
  body after the turn settles — the event was never persisted
  pre-acceptance; the merge logic is gone). The transport consumes the
  stashed input event via prepareSendMessagesRequest and throws loudly on
  a missing stash.
- chat.tsx — every send call site stashes exactly one ChatInput event
  (text, answer, verdict, continue) before invoking the SDK send.

Tests: full native migration (chat-flow rewritten to input events and
native record pins; jobs/extraction/demos/graph/usage/plan-blocks/
probe-done/reattach-transport converted; record-adapter.test.ts deleted;
chat-transport tests pin the identity retry). 982/982, typecheck, lint,
build all green.

amosblomqvist 7cfd8b5bc7 Background turn runner: every turn is a server-side process, clients are views
Owner ruling 2026-09-25. runPiTurn executes a turn decoupled from any HTTP
response: an unbounded memory-only event log (finite by construction; the
30-min liveness TTL bounds the pathological case) plus a subscriber set.
The POST /api/chat stream and the new GET /api/chats/[id]/stream are both
subscribers — identical SSE dialect; late subscribers get FULL replay
(starting at the start chunk) then live until finish + [DONE]. A view
cancelling (reload, navigate) now detaches ONLY — never aborts the turn.
The remote kill is the abort channel: POST /api/activity/abort gains
kind: "turn" (id = chatId; not_running 409 like jobs); handle.abort sets
sawAbort + agent.abort(), every subscriber closes cleanly, the partial
persists through the usual settle (onFinish runs once, then endTurn,
then unregisterTurn LAST so a view that finds nothing finds the record
current). No running turn on reattach: the cheap terminal — one
{"type":"turn-settled"} event + [DONE] (settledTurnResponse).

The live smoke caught what the unit suite had masked: the agent_end
close() had been left behind in the restructure — ReferenceError every
turn, steered into the error path; fixed and pinned (clean turns must
never emit an error chunk; finishReason stop present).

amosblomqvist e4049e4bf8 Key-presence refusal at every gate: a pinned model is not enough
Owner-diagnosed: the turn gate checked only model coordinates, so a
pinned slot whose provider key was deleted passed the gate and died
mid-stream masked to 'An error occurred.' The key is now gated where
the model is — by what would RUN (env-first keyValue truth, so an
env-shadowed key passes).

- core/settings.ts: the provider_key_missing envelope family (code,
  provider, slots, human line naming the provider from AUTH_PROVIDER_KEYS
  labels) + ProviderKeyMissingError + isProviderKeyRefusal matcher.
- chat-handler turn gate: refuses 503 before beginTurn when the resolved
  conversation's provider key is gone (slots: [strong]).
- Job runner: same check via an injected dep (agent layer cannot read
  the key store) — a keyless engine refuses the spawn through the
  existing failure-shape convention, no phantom run.
- Extraction pipeline: refuseIfStagesUnready refuses BEFORE any batch
  (first offender: extractor before auditor); the trigger skips info-
  level, /api/graph/import surfaces the 503 envelope per file.
- Tests: 8 new pins (turn gate both ways, runner refusal, pipeline
  first-offender + pass-through, envelope factory, matcher); the three
  turn-driving suites seed OPENROUTER_API_KEY like any real setup.
- Doc fix: stale EXTRACTION.chunkTokens comment in the manual-extract
  route (left over from eed4b4e).

Known residual (pre-existing, flagged for master): the manual extract
route logs BOTH config refusals as console.error (fire-and-forget path);
the coverage ledger keeps everything uncovered either way.

amosblomqvist bfa906e2f8 feat(models): BYOK all the way down — factory pins deleted, per-need refusal gates
Owner decision 2026-09-22: 'it doesn't make sense to have any default
model configured anywhere; the application is bring your own keys.'

config.ts: MODELS deleted; ModelRole becomes an explicit 9-role union;
DEFAULT_THINKING_ORDER (medium, low, high, minimal, xhigh, max) bakes
the unset-level default — first entry the model supports; explicitly
set levels keep pi's native nearest-clamp.

core/settings-resolution: the factory layer dissolves — the chain is
role override → slot → NOTHING. resolveSettings(record) takes no
factory. Empty chains resolve to null/undefined; a thinkingLevel-only
slot is inert (stored, never run). resolveConversationSpec: chat.model
override over the strong slot, null when both empty. resolveRoleSpec
spans all nine roles for the job/extraction engines.

Refusal envelope (core/settings.ts): modelsNotConfigured(missing) —
{error, code: 'models_not_configured', missing: [slot tiers]} +
ModelsNotConfiguredError with .envelope. Per-need gates, each honest:
- chat-handler: universal turn gate (new + continuing turns) returns
  503 before beginTurn — no liveness, no write-ahead persist, no graph
  trigger before the gate fires.
- runner.runJob: unresolvable engine lands the job as error with the
  envelope wording; no phantom loop, no result steer.
- extraction: refuseIfStagesUnconfigured throws before any stage
  (turn-service info-skips so coverage retries next turn; the import
  route surfaces per-file code+missing); labeler-less runs skip
  cluster naming with a console line and still merge.

Write side: slot entries must carry a model — level-only slot writes
are 400s (absent slot key = clear). piEngineForSpec resolves unset
thinking levels via DEFAULT_THINKING_ORDER; piEngineFor now throws
honestly; thinkingLevelFor/modelIdFor deleted; teacher-agent, pi-run,
visual-maker, pdf-reader all read engine.level.

model-catalog: defaults/slots/rolePins null when the chain is empty
(contracts nullable) — no phantom ids in payloads. Stores drop
MODEL_PINS entirely.

Tests: pin-leaners converted to explicit injection (per-chat model
pins on scripted chats — exactly what the setup flow writes; faux
engines for agent-construction tests). New coverage: the 503 gate
envelope, the runner refusal, the extraction refusal + labeler skip.

Gates: typecheck, lint, 815/815, build.

amosblomqvist 769a3da186 feat: session rename + graph chrome polish (popovers dismiss, no-shift no-match, coverage reseat)
Rename (owner ask): clicking the header title opens edit mode with the
whole title selected — typing replaces, arrows move inside. Enter or a
click away commits (PUT /api/chats/:id); Escape and an empty commit
discard. renameChat joins the ChatStore port; like saveSettings it is
NOT conversation activity — updatedAt stays put so sidebar order never
churns on a rename. The sidebar patch is instant: the header dispatches
lh:chat-renamed and SessionsSidebar folds it into its snapshot (the 2.5s
poll is only a backstop). Sidebar right-click rename is DELIBERATELY
deferred: it needs a real context-menu system, which gets its own pass
later (owner decision, 2026-09-17).

Graph chrome:
- The extraction-coverage button moves between search and import; the
  gear keeps the far-right corner. Coverage still renders on an EMPTY
  graph (that is exactly when it matters).
- The no-match search note no longer shifts its siblings: the chrome
  row is items-start (every button is 44px tall, so top alignment pins
  the row while the search container grows downward).
- Popovers dismiss properly: pointerdown anywhere outside the control's
  root (button + panel) closes it, and so does Escape. Two panels can
  never be open at once — the sibling chrome buttons are outside the open
  root, so pointerdown closes the first before the click opens the
  second. New shared hook components/popover-dismiss.ts, wired into
  both the settings gear and the coverage control.

Gates: typecheck, eslint, 498/498 (+2 rename store tests), build.
Live-verified: select-all/focus/Enter/Escape/empty/blur round-trip,
updatedAt untouched, sidebar instant patch; chrome order + frozen
positions under a no-match query; popover close via canvas, search
input, Esc, mutual exclusion, toggle intact.

amosblomqvist de0c286311 feat: model + thinking control — the stats bar's picker, on pi-ai's catalog
The model-control wave (user-decided design, 2026-09-12): ONE controller
for the conversation agents (prober/teacher are functionally one agent);
background sub-agents stay config-pinned. pi-ai owns the registry — the
shipped 366-model OpenRouter catalog (cost, context, modality,
thinkingLevelMap), getSupportedThinkingLevels/clampThinkingLevel for the
per-model thinking truth, and streamSimple's automatic clamp. No second
registry to drift out of sync.

Seams:
- config.ts: ReasoningEffort retired for pi's ThinkingLevel
  (off|minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh|max). GLM roles go honest at "low" —
  pi's catalog says GLM-5.3-flash accepts exactly low|high|max, and the old
  "minimal" was silently clamped to low by streamSimple since the swap;
  nothing changes behaviorally. visualMaker → qwen/qwen3.8-flash (fixes
  the dead qwen/qwen3.8-max slug — the catalog only ships -0902; also the
  user's cost pick, 0.15/0.47 per-1M).
- src/agent/models.ts: piEngineFor(role, settings?) — provider+id resolved
  from the catalog, thinking level from settings ?? config, CLAMPED to the
  model's supported list (a settings change between models can never send
  an invalid level). PiEngine gains `level` (observability/tests).
- ChatRecord.settings {model?: {provider, id}, thinkingLevel?} — written
  by PUT /api/chats/[id]/settings (replace-whole, no updatedAt churn),
  read by chat-handler at turn composition: agents are stateless per turn,
  so the change is next-turn-effective by construction. The turns log
  still records the ACTUAL billed model (the honest witness).
- GET /api/models: the configured-provider catalog as client-safe DTOs
  (core/contracts/models.ts) + config defaults; a second provider joins
  the picker by registering it in piModels() — nothing else changes.
- PUT settings validation gate (src/server/model-catalog.ts): unknown
  provider/model or unsupported level → 400 carrying the supported list,
  never a silent clamp.
- scripts/sync-pricing.ts: regenerated PRICES/CONTEXT_LIMITS from pi-ai's
  shipped openrouter.json (offline; same source as the engine + picker).
  All 366 models priced; glm's stale 0.15/0.5 → pi's 0.075/0.25, limit
  1310720 → 1048576 — cost is inferred at read time, so history re-prices.
- UI (components/model-picker.tsx): stats-bar right side becomes model +
  thinking buttons; menus open ABOVE; fuzzy search over "provider id
  name" (core/fuzzy.ts — pi's /model pattern); model rows show name/id/
  price/context; the thinking menu lists exactly the chosen model's
  supported levels (GLM: low|high|max — no dead options, no "off").
  Model switch drops an incompatible pinned level (falls back to config,
  which clamps honestly) rather than carrying a 400.

Tests (350/350, +15): catalog projection + defaults, the settings gate,
pi thinking truth pinned against upgrades (glm low|high|max; minimal→low;
off→low — GLM cannot disable thinking), the engine factory's
override/fallback/clamp/throw matrix, fuzzy ranking, store round-trip,
and the re-priced folds (usage, stats bar, activity dock).

Live smoke (disposable driver, deleted): catalog route 366 + defaults;
glm+minimal → 400 + supported; turn 1 billed qwen/qwen3.8-flash under
the override; mid-session switch flipped turn 2 to glm; clear-overrides
restored the config pin. ALL CHECKS PASS on real OpenRouter.
2026-09-12 06:02:40 +03:00
amosblomqvist 4baf8385be fix: parallel question calls are asked, saved, and answered in the model's call order
Live observation (modal-realism run): the teacher batched two quizzes in
one turn; the dock showed the SECOND question first, so the answering
order was reversed vs the saved record and the transcript cards.

Cause: findPending scanned parts BACKWARD within a message, so with two
input-available quizzes it picked the last one first. No overwriting was
involved — parts are created in call order on both wire and record; the
scan direction alone reversed the interaction order. (pi executes a
parallel batch with starts + result messages in call order; the
execution-end order is completion-racy, which also allowed a millisecond
dock-subject flip mid-turn.)

Fix A — src/core/pending.ts: parts now scan FORWARD within a message
(messages stay newest-first): the FIRST unanswered question is the dock
subject; the second appears only after the first is answered.

Fix B — src/agent/lh-tool.ts: question tools opt into sequential
execution (pi runs the batch in call order when any called tool opts
in), so tool-input-available chunks always arrive in call order and the
dock subject can never flip mid-turn. Question executes are instant.

Pinned in chat-flow.test.ts: a parallel two-quiz batch asserts wire
order (A's available chunk before B's), part persistence order, and the
dock selection sequence (A first, then B after A is answered).

Gates: tsc, lint, build, 307/307.

amosblomqvist 6af7a38684 fix(bridge): gate tool-input-available on clean execution — invalid tool inputs never reach the dock
Live crash (modal-realism session): GLM double-encoded the quiz options
array as a JSON STRING inside the tool-call arguments. The bridge emitted
tool-input-available at toolcall_end — BEFORE validation runs — so the
client briefly saw the malformed quiz as a pending question and the dock
crashed in normalizeOptions ((string).map). The later tool-input-error
chunk could not revive the tree.

The old SDK gated this with InvalidToolInputError: validation ran before
the input-available chunk. The bridge now holds the part in
input-streaming until tool_execution_end and only then emits
tool-input-available (clean) or tool-input-error (invalid, structural
JSON Schema failure or the zod re-run inside execute).

Server-side behavior was already correct (the record shows the error
part + a successful model retry) — this is purely the wire-ordering hole.

Pinned in chat-flow.test.ts: the refinement-layer retry (correctAnswer
mismatch) and the exact live structural shape (string options) both
assert the invalid call never becomes input-available on the wire.

Gates: tsc, lint, build, 306/306.

amosblomqvist 2d717fd932 Swap the server engine to pi-ai/pi-agent-core (Band B+C of docs/pi-engine-swap.md)
The Vercel AI SDK survives only as Band D (useChat client + UIMessage
record types); @openrouter/ai-sdk-provider is uninstalled.

- src/agent/models.ts: PiEngine {model, streamFn} via createModels +
  openrouterProvider subpath; thinkingLevelFor maps config effort none->off
- src/agent/lh-tool.ts: neutral LhTool (zod authoring, optional execute,
  clientQuestion flag); toPiTool converts via z.toJSONSchema and re-runs
  zod inside execute so refinements ride the error-result retry path
- src/server/pi/record-adapter.ts: UIMessage records -> pi Messages
  (dangling tool calls get synthesized interrupted results)
- src/server/pi/ui-stream.ts: SSE bridge emitting AI-SDK-shaped chunks so
  the useChat client parses unchanged (continuation id rule, question
  tools never emit output, tool-input-error for bad authoring)
- teacher-agent.ts: stateless per-turn pi Agents; shouldStopAfterTurn
  stops only when every question-tool call resolved cleanly (errors retry)
- chat-handler.ts: buildAgent(outgoing) factory seam (stateless doctrine);
  assertValidUiMessages owns the retired SDK validation gate
- sub-agents via shared runSubagent (pi-run.ts); extraction stages stop
  after a clean submit; visual-maker keeps its hand-rolled loop over
  direct streamSimple calls; aborted model calls bill no usage
- tests: all model seams ported to pi-ai faux provider (scripted
  FauxResponseSteps, agent factories); handleChatRequest second param
  is now an agent factory

continuation same message id, per-turn real token usage - ALL PASS.
Data wiped at the pivot (chats/graph/jobs, .gitkeeps kept).

amosblomqvist 5653c77a29 feat: probe/teach agent split — explicit phase markers, position-only plan map
Diagnosis (2026-09-11 user testing, minimal-effort GLM): sessions stuck on
'plan' forever. Two causes: (1) the three-phase view read the stored tree's
currentNodeId, which nothing ever writes post author-once (2026-09-03) — a
structural dead seam; (2) the teacher stochastically left quiz.nodeId
untagged, and done-by-quiz-result semantics would have falsely completed
nodes anyway.

The redesign (docs/probe-teach-split.md) abolishes derived occupancy in
favor of explicit events:

- Two agents over one transcript: createProberAgent (quiz without a
  nodeId field, ask, probe_done) and createTeacherAgent (full toolset,
  plan_init onward). The chat-handler construction branch keys on a
  probe_done part in the transcript. MODELS.prober added.
- probe_done: server-side seam tool — carries the learner assessment
  (strands + free-form edge read), refuses while a question is open or
  the probe is already concluded, and queues a handoff steer through the
  generalized wake pipeline (steers now dedupe by id, not jobId; job
  finalization only for job steers). The teacher auto-wakes and authors
  the plan; the learner sees the assessment via the probe-done card.
- phases: probe ends at a concluded probe_done, plan ends at a
  successful plan_init — strictly sequential, no skipping, no legacy
  compatibility (data wiped at the pivot per doctrine).
- Plan map = position, not completion: derivePlanStatuses reads only
  tagged quiz CALLS (state/outcome feed nothing); current = latest
  tagged node with consecutive duplicates collapsed, visited = earlier
  distinct stays (a revisit stays in both — current wins at render).
  PlanTree is structure-only; currentNodeId/doneNodeIds and the dead
  mutation helpers are gone. No fallback current.
- Prompts split per agent (prompts/prober/, prompts/teacher/ over the
  trimmed shared base); graph-context injection removed entirely
  (shelved, docs/probe-teach-split.md §5); knowledge-graph context no
  longer reaches either agent.
- Plan blocks are full-only snapshots at plan_init (neighborhood
  machinery retired; the persistent DAG window is the future UI wave);
  usage capture unchanged.

Gates: tsc clean, 294/294 tests (phases/plan-tree/plan-blocks/question-
tools rewritten to the new semantics; probe-done + handoff-wake tests
added), lint, build. Live GLM smoke PASS: prober concluded with an honest
assessment, teacher auto-woke, authored a 10-node plan with the block
attached, then tagged checks on slope-instinct → secant derived current/
visited exactly as designed; grading honest both ways (driver off-by-one
proved a wrong answer grades false).

Amos a7ca33548b Sessions keep running across navigation: turn liveness + write-ahead persist
The bug: answering a quiz and navigating away mid-turn, then returning,
re-prompted the same question. Root causes: (1) the answer was durable only
at onFinish — every mid-turn view read the stale pre-answer record;
(2) the server had no notion of a turn in flight; (3) remount treated the
stale record as current, with no re-attach path. Worse, the stale dock let
the quiz be answered again, racing two turns into a last-writer-wins
saveMessages clobber.

Fix (four pieces):
- Write-ahead persist in chat-handler: the request body IS the client's
  canonical state — saved to disk BEFORE the stream starts. The answer is
  durable the instant the request arrives; crashes recover via the existing
  mount continuation.
- Turn liveness registry (src/server/turn-liveness.ts): in-memory chatId →
  in-flight map with a TTL leak guard; beginTurn rejects concurrent turns
  (409) so one turn ever owns a chat. endTurn runs in onFinish AFTER
  persistTurn, so pollers that see not-in-flight always read a finished
  record; a turn-start failure clears the registry (no lockout).
- GET /api/chats/[id] reports turnInFlight; the chat page passes
  initiallyInFlight to the client.
- Client re-attach (components/chat.tsx): while in flight, busy shimmer +
  composer gated + mount continuation suppressed; poll /api/chats/[id] until
  the turn finishes, then syncFromServer adopts the completed transcript.
  Stop stays local-stream only (a server turn has no client request to
  abort).

Verified by scripted-model tests: concurrent turn 409 + registry lifecycle,
write-ahead durability mid-turn, failed-turn lockout guard.

Amos 5dab8d12d4 Quiz hardening: cross-field schema validation rejects ungradeable quizzes
quizInputSchema now enforces (via pure quizInputProblems + superRefine) that
correctAnswer resolves against option values, options are non-empty and
unique, and multi-answer requires multiSelect — schema-valid now implies
gradeable. The AI SDK already returns invalid tool input to the model as a
tool-error part (verified in ai@7 run loop), so the teacher retries in the
same turn. chat-handler onError passes tool-input validation messages
through to the client (masked 'An error occurred.' for everything else).
Covers the Gate 3 GLM failure: correctAnswer slug matching no option.

Amos 1167157c23 Storage ports: ChatStore/GraphStore/JobStore + adapters + core inversion (stage 3)
Per-entity semantic ports (src/core/ports.ts), one adapter family
(src/store/*, fs JSON/JSONL), exactly one composition point
(src/server/stores.ts). Dependency direction is now machine-checked:
adapters implement core interfaces; core never imports an adapter.

The inversion:
- core/graph.ts (emitChat/getGraph/graphSnapshot/foldStaleChats) is now
  pure — it takes the storage ports as explicit parameters (GraphDeps).
  No store imports; newGraphNodeId is local; node id format unchanged.
- core/graph-context.ts buildGraphContext() no longer defaults to the
  live ledgers: the chat-handler hands in getGraph(graphStore) per turn.
- store adapters export exactly one object each implementing their port
  (chatStore/graphStore/jobStore); bodies otherwise verbatim.
  NodeMapping + SessionCheckpoint moved store/graph -> core/contracts
  (they ARE contract shapes); CreateJobInit/JobPatch live in ports.
- titleFromPrompt moved store/chats -> core/contracts (pure helper,
  planNodeStatus precedent). Store modules now contain persistence only.
- server/stores.ts is the composition root; server/{chats,graph,jobs}.ts
  and chat-handler wire from it; agent (plan tools, sub-agent runner)
  call the port objects. The shell surface (@/src/server exports) is
  unchanged.

Lint law extended: the whole of src/core is now a purity zone (was a
file glob with a graph/graph-context exemption). Verified it fires on
core->store imports; tsc clean, 190/190 tests, eslint clean, prod build
clean (prerender 6/6). Tests pass deps explicitly — graph.test uses the
same fs-adapter pair stores.ts wires in production; graph-context.test
keeps its in-memory ledgers as a GraphStore implementation.

Amos aeef28d4d9 UI iteration 4: dock morph animation, sticky-in-flow dock, scrollbar, indicators
- Animation: the blob's shell morphs height (WAAPI, 180ms) on every
  variant change — chat ↔ question ↔ collapsed bar — plus a quick
  fade/rise (160ms) on the swapped content. Gotcha pinned in code: never
  measure the shell while a morph is in flight (getBoundingClientRect
  reads the ANIMATED value and corrupts the next morph's start height);
  cancel running morphs before measuring, refresh settled height only
  when no morph is running.
- Gradient-over-scrollbar fixed structurally: the dock is no longer an
  absolute overlay on the conversation root — it's sticky bottom-0 INSIDE
  the scroller (in flow). The transcript scrolls fully clear of the dock,
  the fade never touches the scrollbar lane, and the pb-hack clearances
  are gone.
- New question while at the bottom scrolls to reveal the dock; scrolled
  up → collapsed bar, no yank.
- Thin dark native scrollbar app-wide (8px webkit + scrollbar-width:thin,
  dark thumb, transparent track). Note: use-stick-to-bottom sets
  scrollbar-gutter: stable both-edges on its scroller — the lane is
  outside the content flow by design.
- 'Writing a question…' transcript shimmer while a tool call streams its
  input (same slot as 'Thinking…'). Protocol pinned by a test asserting
  tool-input-start precedes tool-input-available; scripted mock now
  streams tool input as deltas like real providers do. (OpenRouter/
  Anthropic often delivers the whole input in ONE delta — then the dock
  appears instantly and no indicator is needed or shown.)

Verified live: grow 54→349px and shrink 349→54px fire with correct
from/to; collapse/expand intact; gradient stops before the gutter;
Thinking… observed in-page; 58/58 tests.

Amos 0baa00e418 UI iteration 2: toggleable sidebar, floating composer blob, pending-question morph
Sidebar (replaces the modal drawer):
- Inline, toggleable, no backdrop/focus theft — can stay open while working
- Open state persists across pages (provider in root layout) and reloads
  (localStorage; starts closed server-side to avoid hydration mismatch,
  stored value applied post-mount; default open on first run)
- Hamburger in page headers only when closed; close button in sidebar header

Floating composer blob (per reference screenshot):
- Floats over the transcript (absolute overlay), persists at bottom while
  scrolling, content fades behind it (gradient mask); pb-44 scroll clearance
- Concentric corner radii: blob rounded-2xl(16px) − p-1.5(6px) = send
  rounded-[10px] = 25% of the 40px button; CornerDownLeft icon per reference
- Stop moved from header into the blob (busy → square icon)
- prompt-input.tsx + 7 orphan ui files pruned (attachments/command palette
  unused); hand-rolled Composer is ~100 lines and render-tested

Pending-question morph (one text field on screen, never two):
- Quiz/ask-select pending → blob becomes the note field (send hidden, hint
  line above); card's internal note input removed; Submit consumes it
- Ask free-text pending → blob becomes the answer field; its send submits
  via the card's registered submit api (ref bridge); Enter works
- Chat owns the single text state; card clears it on submit
- canSend for answer mode mirrors the card predicate directly — reading the
  ref during render lagged one commit (found in browser testing)

Widths: one shared column (max-w-3xl + px-4) for transcript, cards, and
composer — all three measured pixel-identical (left 416, width 736).
Assistant Message max-w-full/MessageContent w-full (was max-w-[95%]/w-fit —
the 'cards are a bit shorter' bug).

User messages render plain text again — no math pipeline on learner-authored
text (currency hazard accepted for the model only, guarded by the prompt).

Tests: 58 pass (5 new composer pins; card tests updated to controlled
props). Verified live: note flow, answer flow, sidebar persistence, float,
fade, zero console errors — plus the live model spontaneously honoring the
$ currency escape contract in a continuation.

Amos a72c902d30 v3: AI SDK pivot — pi removed, Next.js 16 + AI SDK 7 + AI Elements teacher app
The teaching agent no longer runs on pi. Stack:
- ToolLoopAgent (ai@7) + OpenRouter (OPENROUTER_API_KEY), model via LH_MODEL,
  default anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5 with reasoning tokens
- quiz/ask_user_question = client-side tools (no server execute): the call
  lands as a typed tool part in input-available state; the card grades via
  src/core/question-core.ts; addToolOutput sends the verdict; the teacher's
  reaction continues the same assistant message
- resume-mid-quiz is free: the pending tool part persists in the transcript
- persistence: one JSON per chat (data/chats/), full UIMessage transcripts,
  saved onFinish (also on abort)
- UI: AI Elements (owned copy-paste components, pruned to the five in use)
  + button-based QuizCard/AnsweredCard (ask answers never graded)
- pi fully removed: TUI, extensions, Fastify+WS server, bridge, custom
  protocol all deleted (recoverable from git history)
- tests: question-core units carry over; chat-flow integration drives
  handleChatRequest with MockLanguageModelV4 (48 tests, zero tokens);
  render smoke tests guard the cards (renderToStaticMarkup)

Carried over unchanged: teacher system prompt, question-core, schema/
ledger/derive/extract pipeline, data model.
