Chunk A of the search port wave (2026-09-20), per master's assignment:
- web.ts: the Google Custom Search backend is gone — web_search now runs
on the core search port (SearchProvider), injected as a dependency
(import law: the tool never imports server code). createWebTools(search)
resolves the LIVE provider fresh per call; null = the honest
unavailability string (no silent fallback, owner decision). web_fetch
unchanged (needs no engine).
- runner: JobRunnerDeps.searchProvider — the server composition threaded
into the researcher; jobs already in flight when a key disappears still
fail honestly through the same seam, never crash.
- jobTools: the research dispatch tool DROPS from the teacher's registry
when ctx.searchAvailable() is false (owner decision: registry-level
drop — the model never sees the tool, no doomed dispatch, no error
card). Absent seam = available (tests). chat-handler injects
server/searchAvailable + searchProvider.
- tests: stubFetch (the Google wire stub) retired; jobs.test.ts threads
a recording stub provider through all four research runners and asserts
the scripted query hit the port; new web-search.test.ts covers the
factory contract (null → honest string, hits, error strings, fresh
resolution, web_fetch independence) + the registry drop matrix.
Gates: typecheck, 793/793 tests, lint, build — all green.
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
Gates: tsc, lint, build, 305/305. Live GLM smoke (disposable driver,
deleted): prober streaming + persistence, question seam, turn-2
continuation same message id, per-turn real token usage - ALL PASS.
Data wiped at the pivot (chats/graph/jobs, .gitkeeps kept).
The job tools (research/demo/visual) switch from client-side turn-breaking
calls to pi's model: execute resolves IMMEDIATELY with a fire-and-forget
ack, the teacher's turn continues, and the result arrives later as an
injected user-role steer message that wakes the teacher in a new
server-side turn.
- contracts.ts: THE ASYNC PROTOCOL rewritten (ack now, steer later); steer
types (SubagentSteerMessage, metadata.subagentResult + data-subagent-
artifact part), pure buildSubagentSteer/steerDelivered/isSubagentFailure
- tools/jobs.ts: jobTools(ctx) factory — server-side execute creates the
job (deduped by toolCallId), fires spawn with the dispatch-time input
(the part isn't persisted yet at execute — a transcript scan would race)
- runner.ts: runJob(jobId, input?) builds the steer and hands it to the
injected deliver seam; pipeline owns the done/error flip (a polling
client re-syncs once, at the end); failures still steer
- server/jobs.ts (new pipeline): per-chat serialized queues on globalThis,
idle gates (turn liveness + pending question, 1.5s grace), 409 retry
with backoff, idempotent per jobId, stale-job recovery sweep (re-deliver
or re-spawn); wake turns run through the same handleChatRequest
composition via setTurnRunner injection
- chat-handler.ts: wires runner+deliver+tools ctx; drops spawnTurnJobs
from onFinish; teacher default registry = question tools only
- plan.ts: PlanToolContext split out (plan tools need no job wiring)
- visual-maker: edit_svg added (pi parity — exact-match single
replacement, fuzzy context on a miss); researcher: pi's kept/dropped
source accounting restored
- prompts 20-jobs/40-demos: async discipline rewritten (announce and keep
teaching, no waiting/polling/fabricating, parallel dispatch, teach with
the artifact when it arrives)
- tests: jobs.test.ts rewritten (dispatch ack mid-turn, runner steers,
wake pipeline: deferral/409/idempotency/failure), demos.test.tsx runner
tests ported to runJob + fake deliver; 222 green
FLAGGED surgical touches outside the stream's owned files, for master
review at merge: src/core/contracts.ts (protocol doc + steer types),
src/core/ui-message.ts (job tool + data-part types), src/server/
chat-handler.ts (wiring), src/server/turn-service.ts (spawnTurnJobs
retirement), src/agent/teacher-agent.ts (default tools), src/agent/tools/
plan.ts (context type split).
Verified live on PORT=3003 with real models: teacher dispatched research
mid-turn, researcher ran real searches/fetches, steer injected on quiz
answer, wake turn wove the brief in citing its sources, job flipped done;
a client/wake race correctly 409'd.
MODELS in config.ts is now THE single tuning table: model id + OpenRouter
reasoning effort for teacher/researcher/demoBuilder/visualMaker/extractor/
auditor. .env.local is secrets-only (LH_* model vars removed; all sub-agents
previously had NO reasoning setting -> provider-default unbounded thinking,
the extraction token burn). One factory (src/agent/models.ts modelFor) wires
all six call sites; test injection unchanged. EXTRACTION.everyNQuizAnswers
moved to a config literal too. Plus the §5 one-line-per-seam logging in the
extraction pipeline: pipeline start, extractor/auditor start + per-step,
audit kept, merged — previously silent until completion, which made live
runs look like they never fired.
- src/store/jobs.ts: per-job JSON store in data/jobs (create/get/update/list,
dedup by toolCallId)
- src/agent/tools/jobs.ts: research tool — client-side (no execute), turn ends
at the call; input per contracts ResearchToolInput
- src/agent/tools/web.ts: server-side web_search (Google CSE) + web_fetch
(Readability/Turndown/linkedom, Jina fallback) — errors return as strings,
never thrown into the agent loop. Deps: @mozilla/readability, linkedom,
turndown (+@types/turndown dev)
- src/agent/subagents/researcher.ts: isolated ToolLoopAgent (web tools only,
12-step cap), researcher prompt ported from pi
- src/agent/subagents/runner.ts: spawnPendingJobs hook + runResearchJob —
fire-and-forget, activity line per tool call, fulfills the part in the
LATEST chat record (output-available) before flipping job status; failure
still fulfills the part so the teacher learns the outcome
- src/server/chat-handler.ts: onFinish spawn hook after saveMessages
- app/api/jobs/route.ts: GET ?chatId= polling endpoint
- components/artifacts/job-card.tsx + registry entry: polling activity card
(2s) → syncFromServer on finish; research-brief card (markdown + sources)
- src/agent/prompts/20-jobs.md: research doctrine for the teacher
- tests/jobs.test.ts: store CRUD, spawn hook via scripted mock teacher,
runner completion/failure with fake model + stubbed fetch
