amosblomqvist 7a3e19e95f feat(sources v1): the agent locates files itself — ls/find/grep + tool-call cards
User pivot (2026-09-19): no attachments UI at all. Pasting paths is native
for technical users and alien for everyone else - so the agent gets the
tools to find what the learner merely NAMES. The learner communicates in
messages; the agent locates and reads. Zero cross-stream seams: paths
already live in tool parts, so the sources "list" is the transcript.

- ls/find/grep: pi-verbatim schemas, descriptions, and output formats
  (fd's glob semantics, rg's path:line: match format, pi's truncation
  notices), ported to pure Node - no binaries, no shell-out, read-only by
  construction. Deltas from pi: home-anchored resolution (the harness has
  no cwd), .gitignore replaced by hard noise exclusions
  (node_modules/.git/Library/.Trash), 10s walk timeout with partial results.
- read: description swapped to pi-verbatim (doctrine moved to the prompt);
  relative paths now resolve against the learner's home like the rest.
- prompts/shared/05-learner-files.md: one minimal doctrine fragment
  composed into BOTH agents (composeInstructions grew a shared/ dir,
  before the agent's own fragments). teacher/30-jobs.md keeps only the
  pdf-dispatch addendum.
- ToolCallCard: the generic quiet tool-call card the user specced -
  collapsed one-liner (tool name + headline argument), expandable to full
  input/output, errors red, image payloads never render. Registered for
  read/ls/find/grep.
- ui-message.ts: TeacherUITools entries for the four tools (mechanical).
- tests: fs-tools suite (glob semantics, pi formats, exclusions, limits),
  registry/card renders, shared-fragment composition pins, tool-registry
  key updates, read re-anchor.

Prompt fragments

System prompts are composed at agent construction (src/agent/teacher-agent.ts), one composition per agent — the probe/teach split (docs/probe-teach-split.md):

  1. src/agent/system-prompt.md — the SHARED base: the teaching philosophy (both principles), accuracy, quiz-option construction, the question tools, formatting. Owned by the master seam; do not edit from a worker.
  2. Every numeric-prefix *.md fragment in the agent's directory (prober/ or teacher/), in sorted filename order, joined with --- separators. The loader enforces the numeric prefix (\d*-*.md) — other files (like this README) never enter the model's prompt.

Rules for adding a fragment:

  • Name it with a numeric order prefix, inside the right agent directory.
  • shared/ fragments compose into BOTH agents (before their own, after the base) — cross-agent doctrine only (e.g. 05-learner-files.md); the "never reference the other agent's tools" rule below still applies, so shared fragments may only cover tools both agents actually hold.
  • One fragment per workstream — your brief tells you which filename you own.
  • Document YOUR agent's tools/behaviors exactly; reference tool input field names verbatim (they must match the zod schemas).
  • Keep it tight: fragments are always in context. No restating the base prompt.
  • The two agents share one transcript but never one toolset — never reference the other agent's tools as if you had them.
