Converts the ad-hoc executeToolPhase → runAssistantTurn recursion into an
explicit while (stepNumber < effectiveCap) loop. A step is one stream-and-
tool-execute iteration; the loop terminates on non-tool finish, step-cap hit,
doom-loop, budget exhaustion, abort, or synthesis success.
MAX_STEPS = 200 hard ceiling (4x old effective limit from budget). Per-agent
steps: field in AGENTS.md frontmatter sets tighter caps (Refactorer: 5,
Architect: 20, others: unset = bounded only by MAX_STEPS). Resolution:
effectiveCap = Math.min(agent.steps ?? Infinity, MAX_STEPS).
executeToolPhase no longer recurses — returns ToolPhaseResult struct
(action: 'continue' | 'paused' | 'synthesis_done') so the caller decides
whether to continue or break. steps: 0 handled as "no tool calls allowed"
via runTextOnlyTurn (one text-only stream phase, tool calls ignored with
warn log).
Step-cap hits produce a sentinel summary (reuses cap_hit kind so
CapHitSentinel.tsx renders without frontend changes; text distinguishes
"Step limit reached" from "Tool budget exhausted"). Doom-loop check migrated
to top of loop body — same predicate, same threshold (3), break instead of
return.
step_start parts are in the schema CHECK but not emitted as message_parts —
writing before the stream phase creates a sequence-0 collision with
partsFromAssistantMessage. Structured log line emitted instead. Adversarial
review caught the collision pre-deploy.
332/332 server tests passing. No frontend changes. No schema changes.

Removes the dual-write into messages.tool_calls / messages.tool_results JSON
columns and drops the columns. message_parts is now the only source of truth
for tool calls and tool results.
10 dual-write sites stripped (5 in tool-phase.ts, 2 in routes/skills.ts, 2 in
routes/messages.ts, 1 in routes/chats.ts fork-clone). The recon-driven grep
caught 2 sites beyond the original v1.13.2 roadmap inventory and an extra
fixture file (tool_cost_stats.test.ts) with a direct legacy-column INSERT.
messages_with_parts view rewritten to parts-only subselects (COALESCE
fallbacks gone). View runs via CREATE OR REPLACE so it lands before the
column DROPs in startup DDL — Postgres rejects column-drop on view-referenced
cols. v1.12.1 cleanup DO block (DROP CONSTRAINT messages_status_check /
messages_role_check) removed; those one-shots have done their work.
Adversarial review caught a runtime bug the green test suite missed: the
discard_stale endpoint (chats.ts) had a RETURNING ... tool_calls, tool_results
clause that would have crashed on every 60s-no-token-activity recovery in
production. Fixed by switching to two-step UPDATE returning id, then SELECT
from messages_with_parts so parts-synthesized fields keep flowing on the wire.
Message API type retains tool_calls? / tool_results? — the view synthesizes
those keys from parts so the wire shape is unchanged; frontend reads need no
update. Override on the original v1.13.2 plan, captured in the openspec
proposal.
339/339 server tests passing (including 7 DB-integration tests that applied
the schema migration to a live DB and ran the parts-only view end-to-end).
tsc + web build clean.
Pairs with v1.13.0-ai-sdk-v6 (introduced the dual-write) and v1.13.1-B (moved
the read path to messages_with_parts). Umbrella v1.13 tag ships on this same
commit, marking the strangler-fig closed.
CLAUDE.md picks up Sam's pre-existing edits documenting tag-naming and
CHANGELOG conventions — both already in use by v1.13.19 / v1.13.20.

Every assistant message gets an "Open in pane" affordance that opens the
message in the workspace splitter — Markdown pane (Copy + Download .md) by
default; HTML pane (Download .html only) when the model emits a self-contained
<!DOCTYPE html> or fenced ```html artifact. BOOCHAT.md rule keeps Markdown
default at every length; HTML opt-in on explicit user request.
Backend: services/artifacts.ts (slug derivation + write helpers with
symlink-escape guard via realpath-after-mkdir), routes/artifacts.ts (POST
download + GET stream with nosniff + CSP sandbox defense-in-depth), HTML
detection in finalizeCompletion writing a new message_parts.kind='html_artifact'
row (schema CHECK extended via v1.13.13 pattern), graceful 1MB cap via the
pure decideHtmlArtifactWrite helper. PartKind union extended.
Frontend: MarkdownRenderer.tsx extracted from MessageBubble's inline
MarkdownBody for reuse; MarkdownArtifactPane.tsx + HtmlArtifactPane.tsx with
loading/error states; pane state is reference-only ({chat_id, message_id,
title}) — content fetched on mount to keep workspace_panes jsonb small and
avoid 1MB blobs riding session_workspace_updated frames. iframe sandbox
locked to allow-scripts allow-clipboard-write allow-downloads with no
allow-same-origin, srcDoc not src. openInPane discriminates 404 (expected
fallback) from real errors (toast + bail). PanelRightOpen icon button with
mobile 44px tap-target.
31 new server unit tests including a real-symlink filesystem case; 332/332
server tests passing, tsc clean both sides, pnpm -C apps/web build green.
Smoke deferred to first deploy.

Two-part fix for the model-emitted XML drift the v1.13.15-codecontext-synth
investigation surfaced (1 raw <invoke> leak observed out of 190 qwen3.6
turns — qwen3.6-35b-a3b-mxfp4 drifts to the Anthropic format when prompted
as an Architect-style agent because Claude Code documentation in its
pre-training corpus uses that shape).
## Parser extension
xml-parser.ts now recognizes BOTH XML tool-call flavors:
- Qwen/Hermes: <tool_call><function=NAME>...<parameter=K>V</parameter>...</function></tool_call>
- Anthropic: <invoke name="NAME"><parameter name="K">V</parameter></invoke>
Both route through the same synthetic-id xml_call_${idx} ToolCall path.
extractToolCallBlocks() and partialXmlOpenerStart() handle both openers
(<tool_call> and <invoke...) so partial buffers don't get prematurely
flushed during streaming.
The existing Qwen parser was tightened to tolerate whitespace around `=`
(<function = name>, <parameter = key>...) so a stray space doesn't get
absorbed into the function name. Name capture is non-whitespace,
non-`>`.
## Unknown-tool recovery hint
New tool-suggestions.ts exports levenshtein() + suggestToolName() +
formatUnknownToolError(). When tool-phase.ts:executeToolCall receives a
toolCall.name that isn't in TOOLS_BY_NAME, the error returned to the
model now includes a "Did you mean: X?" hint based on Levenshtein
distance ≤3 or substring match against Object.keys(TOOLS_BY_NAME).
Targets the qwen3.6 drift to read_file → suggest view_file. Applies to
all unknown tool names, not just <invoke>-derived ones — at the
dispatch layer we no longer know which format produced the call, and
the extra signal is harmless for Qwen-derived calls.
## Test coverage
xml-parser.test.ts: 46 tests, all green. Covers both parsers
(well-formed, malformed, multi-parameter, nested-content), the
partial-opener detector for both flavors, the unified extraction
helper, and the unknown-tool error formatter.

Trivial follow-up after the v1.13.15-codecontext-synth tag landed.
Retrospective bullet now describes the shipped state; cleanup-order
tracker marks the batch ✅.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
After a codecontext overview-class tool call lands (get_codebase_overview,
get_framework_analysis, get_semantic_neighborhoods), the pipeline runs a
second inference pass that replaces the recursive runAssistantTurn. The
synth pass auto-fetches the top-N source files referenced in the
codecontext output plus project docs (BOOCHAT.md, AGENTS.md,
*roadmap*.md, CONTEXT.md), applies a 32k-token budget with explicit
drop-priority, and streams a structured response that grounds the model
in real load-bearing code rather than relying on the codecontext summary
alone. Smoke #1 (default) and #2 (Architect) both cite the correct
inference/turn.ts + tool-phase.ts + stream-phase.ts files; smoke #6
(fault injection) verifies the fall-through path marks the synth message
status='failed' and yields cleanly to the recursive turn.
## Truncation-aware extraction
codecontext's wrapper inline-truncates results at 32k chars. Without the
expansion step, the top-N file selection only saw the alphabetical head
of the codebase (apps/booterm/dist/*) and auto-fetched the wrong sources.
The pipeline now calls in-process readTruncation(outputPath) before
extracting referenced files, so top-N selection sees the full 80k+ char
output. The 32k truncated head still ships to the synth model — the
expansion is reference-extraction-only, preserving the token-budget
contract. Graceful degradation on readTruncation null/throw: log warn,
fall back to the truncated head.
## Schema deviation from dispatch
The dispatch claimed no schema migration was needed for the new
'synthesis' part kind. Reality: message_parts.kind has an explicit
CHECK constraint (schema.sql:54) that would reject the new value. Added
a DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS + DO $$ pg_constraint idempotency-guarded
re-add matching the CLAUDE.md migration pattern. The inline CREATE TABLE
constraint also updated so fresh installs land with the extended enum.
## User-abort marks synth-message failed
Deviation from review-time spec ("user-abort path does NOT mark the
message failed"). The outer abort handler in error-handler.ts operates
on the parent turn's assistantMessageId, not the new synth row that
runSynthesisPass created. Without explicit marking, the synth row would
sit in status='streaming' until the 5-min stale-streaming sweeper
(v1.13.1-cleanup-bundle), tripping the frontend's 60s no-token-activity
banner in the meantime — exactly the UX bug class the v1.13.1 sweeper
was added to handle. Marking failed on every catch path (including
user-abort) closes the gap. Cost: one extra DB write + one publish on
the rare user-abort-during-synth path.
## Race-safe synth-tool capture
tool-phase.ts uses synthEntries: Array<{tc, output, error?}> with
per-callback push under Promise.all. find() picks the first non-error
entry by call-order (toolCalls array index). Multiple synth-tools in
one batch are uncommon but handled deterministically.
## Roadmap rebase
Updated boocode_roadmap.md retrospective section + cleanup-order tracker
+ schema-changes summary to use the new vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-slug tag
names per the 2026-05-22 retag (CHANGELOG.md is the canonical record).
v1.13.15 listed as "this batch, tag pending"; a one-line follow-up
commit will remove that qualifier after the tag lands.

Status indicator (StatusDot): drops the flat amber pulse for a richer set
of states — orbiting amber for streaming, spinning sky ring for tool_running,
static violet for waiting_for_input, plus the existing idle/error. Backend
chat_status frame widens from 'working|idle|error' to discriminate streaming
vs tool execution vs paused for user input.
Workspace pane sync: pane layout moves from per-device localStorage to
server-side sessions.workspace_panes jsonb. PATCH /api/sessions/:id/workspace
broadcasts session_workspace_updated on the user channel for cross-device live
sync. Echo dedup via JSON comparison so the round-trip frame doesn't loop.
Legacy localStorage seeds the server on first hydrate, then is deleted.
Deprecated session_panes table dropped.
Resilience: startup sweep marks any stale 'streaming' message older than
5 minutes as 'failed' so v1.12.0-style hung rows clear on container restart.
useWorkspacePanes gains validatePanes() to prune dead chatId references from
saved pane state when the chat list lands.

v1.8.3 (tool-call compaction), themes-v1, v1.9 (settings pane +
per-project defaults + bulk archive), and v1.11 (agents Tier 2) were
all marked Planned/in-flight in the roadmap despite being merged on
main. Reconcile the Batch summary table and reorder the Order of
operations to start at v1.10. Drop the stale "Active work" section —
themes-v1 description belongs in the past tense now.

Old hardcoded MAX_TOOL_LOOP_DEPTH=15 replaced by per-agent
max_tool_calls (1-100, AGENTS.md frontmatter) with defaults: 30 for
read-only-only agents, 10 for agents that include any non-read-only
tool, 15 for raw chat. When the loop hits cap, fire one final summary
call with tools disabled, stream the wrap-up into the in-flight
assistant message, then insert a system sentinel with
metadata.kind='cap_hit'. The sentinel renders an amber bubble with a
Continue button (latest sentinel only) that POSTs to a new
/api/chats/:id/continue route to extend. Hard ceiling: 3 cap-hits per
chat (2 continues max) — third sentinel reports can_continue=false.
Error frames carry a machine-readable reason code alongside human
error text. Failed messages persist the reason via
metadata.kind='error' so the bubble renders specifics on reload (WS
error frame is one-shot).
Tool call UI rewired: ToolCallLine renders inline (↳ name args
spinner/check/✗, expand-on-tap for args+result); ToolCallGroup
collapses 3+ consecutive same-tool runs into a compact card.
MessageList owns a three-pass pre-render (flatten + fold tool
results onto matching runs by id + group same-tool runs + number
sentinels). MessageBubble drops tool rendering and adds the
sentinel / error-reason branches. ToolCallCard deleted.
Roadmap follow-up logged: add explicit max_tool_calls: 30 to the 6
agents in /data/AGENTS.md and /opt/boocode/AGENTS.md post-ship for
discoverability (defaults handle behavior identically).

Mobile header is now two rows. Row 1: hamburger | project · branch
indicator (live via GET /api/projects/:id/git, 30s poll) | ModelPicker |
FolderTree. Row 2: pane-switcher pill (hand-rolled BottomSheet) +
NewPaneMenu. Chat-within-pane navigation hidden on mobile; users switch
panes via the sheet. Cross-tab status sync via chat_status frames
published from inference.ts at working/idle/error transitions; StatusDot
component renders amber-pulse/green/red/gray on each pane row and on
desktop ChatTabBar tabs. Level 1 git awareness exposes a read-only
git_status tool to the model, backed by services/git_meta.ts (execFile
+ 2s timeout + 30s cache). Workspace.tsx now receives panes/chats hooks
as props (hoisted into Session.tsx) so the header pill shares state
with the pane grid.

Update version summary: v1.6-mobile-pass and v1.6.1-cleanup are now
merged with SHAs; v1.6.2-mobile-ui-fixes added as in-flight with its
4-commit plan. v1.6.1-cleanup details rewritten to reflect what
actually shipped (B1) vs what was audited-only (secrets, panes,
unused exports, hand-rolled patterns, mount scope, etc.).
Closed two open items: session_renamed has a server publisher since
v1.4; PATCH /api/panes/:id is moot (endpoint never re-introduced).
Dependency graph updated with v1.6.2 node between v1.6.1 and v1.7.
