The composer's primary button now reflects generation state: Send when idle,
Stop while generating with an empty draft, and Queue while generating with a
draft typed (submitting queues it via the existing queue path). Stop is
click-only so a stray Enter never interrupts a run. ChatInput gains generating
+ onStop props.
BooChat: removes the separate centered "Stop generating" pill and wires
generating={streaming} + onStop={handleStop}. BooCoder: generating now keys on
sending || activeTaskId (the dispatch POST is too brief on its own), which also
fixes the queue gates that previously fired mid-run; onStop cancels the active
task via the new api.coder.cancelTask, and the input is no longer disabled while
a task runs so follow-ups can be queued.
Multi-topic batch. The big-ticket item is the skills audit; the rest are
smaller patches that compounded during the audit work.
## Skills audit (rules→recipes split)
Vendored all 26 skills from /home/samkintop/opt/skills/ into data/skills/
(the boocode-repo-local skill library — see docker-compose change below).
Audited via 5 parallel Claude Code agent-teams running the
mgechev/skills-best-practices 4-step protocol (Discovery → Logic → Edge
Case → self-Architecture-Refinement) per skill, ~2 min wall-clock vs the
~3.7-hour serial estimate.
Result: 14 skills surviving (renamed to gerund form, frontmatter matched),
11 deleted (duplicates, BooCode-irrelevant patterns, Claude-already-does-
natively), 1 migrated to BOOCHAT.md/BOOCODER.md as an always-true rule
(verification-before-completion). Each surviving skill had its description
refined to fix specific trigger gaps surfaced by the protocol — 4
real-bug findings landed (dead refs, stale tags, broken sub-file
references in the original vendored content).
Audit decisions documented in openspec/changes/v1.13.12-skills-audit/
audit-notes.md. Convention codified in BOOCHAT.md/BOOCODER.md "rules vs
recipes" sections — future workflow rules go to those files (100%
present), recipes stay in data/skills/ (~6% invoke rate in multi-turn
per the Codeminer42 measurement).
## Token tracking + stale-stream banner fix (same root cause)
ws-frames.ts IsoTimestamp was z.string().min(1) but postgres returns
timestamp columns as JS Date objects. Every message_complete /
session_updated / chat_updated frame was failing the v1.13.11 Zod gate
and being silently dropped. Symptoms: token tracking blank in the UI
(no usage frames landed); the 60s no-token-activity timer tripped the
stale-stream banner because the frontend's local message state never
saw status='streaming' flip to 'complete'.
Fix: z.preprocess(v => v instanceof Date ? v.toISOString() : v,
z.string().min(1)) applied to the IsoTimestamp primitive. Centralized,
no publisher changes, works identically server + web (the parity test
still passes).
## Codecontext .codecontextignore auto-install
services/codecontext_client.ts now copies the
codecontext/.codecontextignore.template into any project's root on the
first call to that project if no .codecontextignore exists. One file
written per project, idempotent (in-memory Set guard + access-check),
silent fallback on read-only project. Stops the upstream empty-source-
file parser crash on foreign projects' node_modules — previously
required manually copying the template per project.
## Tool-call budget cap 30 → 50
services/inference/budget.ts: BUDGET_READ_ONLY and BUDGET_NO_AGENT
bumped to 50 (from 30). BUDGET_NON_READ_ONLY stays at 10 (no write
tools landed yet). Real recon sessions were hitting 30 with ~3 turns
wasted on codecontext parse failures; legitimate need was ~27, and
Architect-class system overviews want deeper recon. Headroom of 20
absorbs failure-retry turns without changing the safety floor — the
doom-loop guard (3 identical calls → abort) catches the actual
failure mode this cap was guarding against.
v1.14 (Phase C outer agent loop) will supersede this via per-agent
agent.steps. Throwaway-ish patch but unblocks deeper recon today.
## UI cleanups
- ChatPane queued-message dropdown removed. Each queued message now
has three buttons: edit (pop back into ChatInput via sendToChat
event), force-send (was the dropdown's only useful action), and
cancel. Default behavior (send when streaming completes) needs no
UI — it's the implicit do-nothing path.
- ChatThroughput removed from desktop tab strip (ChatTabBar.tsx).
Mobile tab switcher still shows it.
## Plumbing
- .gitignore: data/* + !data/AGENTS.md + !data/skills/ negation
patterns so the vendored skill library + agent registry become
git-tracked while session DB state stays out.
- docker-compose.yml: removed /opt/skills:/data/skills override
mount. Skills now live in the boocode repo at data/skills/,
auditable per-batch. The host-level /opt/skills/ is preserved
untouched for any other tools that read from it.
- .codecontextignore at repo root: auto-installed when codecontext
was first called against /opt/boocode itself; matches the template.
- CLAUDE.md: updated to document the v1.13.11 publishFrame wrapper +
message_parts table + tool_cost_stats view + DB-integration test
pattern + host-side smoke endpoint quirk. (Pre-existing in working
tree before this batch; shipped here for completeness.)
When an assistant message sits status='streaming' with no token activity
for 60+ seconds, the chat shows a banner above the input offering Retry
or Discard. Both clear the stale row via a new backend endpoint
POST /api/chats/:id/discard_stale that updates status='failed' and
publishes chat_status='idle'.
Closes the UX gap that caused the 2026-05-21 debugging spiral —
slow streams and dead streams now look different to the user.
ContextBar relocated from a dedicated row above MessageList to inline with
the agent-picker row, filling the space to the right of the picker + plus
button. Always-visible (zero-state when no assistant message has run yet)
via chat.model_context_limit, which GET /api/sessions/:id/chats now
populates from a single getModelContext lookup per session.
ChatContextPopover above the input is removed entirely along with its
useChatContextStats hook (no remaining callers). Color tiers and the
auto-compaction threshold tooltip unchanged.
Walks chat messages newest-first for the latest ctx_used/ctx_max pair.
Color tiers fire against (max - 20k compaction reserve) so the bar warns
amber/orange/red at the same boundaries auto-compaction triggers.
"Context" → "Ctx" at <640px, (NN%) drops at <380px.
- Long-press selection + floating menu (mobile + desktop right-click): Copy,
Paste, Select All, Search, Send to chat. Tap-outside / Esc dismiss.
- Pane-header Paste button (📋) for iOS user-gesture clipboard read.
- Swipe-left-to-close on mobile pane pill with red "Close" overlay and
translateX visual hint; spring-back below 80px threshold.
- Send-to-chat reverse path: chatInputsRegistry + sendToChat event mirror
the existing terminalsRegistry pattern. ChatInput appends with newline
separator on receive and focuses (no auto-send).
- Scrollback search via xterm-addon-search@^0.13.0: SearchBar overlay with
N-of-M match counter (onDidChangeResults), Enter/Shift-Enter cycling.
- Cmd/Ctrl+F intercept in Session.tsx when active pane is terminal; xterm
also intercepts when focused. Browser native find passes through elsewhere.
- terminalsRegistry signature extended with openSearch + paste callbacks.
Includes deferred CLAUDE.md updates documenting v1.10/v1.10.1/v1.10.2/v1.10.3
learnings (uid 1000 collision, libc match, two event buses, vite proxy order,
mobile pane URL sync, xterm canvas selection).
Trigger /<name>, dropdown lists all skills filtered by name prefix,
arg passthrough sends the rest as the user message. Synthetic
skill_use tool_use renders identically to model-invoked skills.
Adds a singleton, ephemeral 'settings' pane kind to the workspace.
Opened via a new bottom-pinned button in ProjectSidebar (emits an
open_settings_pane event when a session is mounted; navigates to
/settings otherwise). Pane has three sections — Session, Project,
Theme — and a maximize toggle that hides sibling pane columns via
display:none on desktop only. Settings panes don't count toward
MAX_PANES and are filtered out of the localStorage persistence layer
so reload always restores a clean workspace.
Schema (additive):
- projects.default_system_prompt TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
- projects.default_web_search_enabled BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT false
- sessions.web_search_enabled BOOLEAN (nullable; null = inherit)
Inference resolves user_prompt = session.system_prompt.trim() ||
project.default_system_prompt.trim() — empty/whitespace at either
layer means "no override". Keeps the columns NOT NULL and matches
the existing inherit semantics.
Server routes:
- GET /api/projects/:id (new; settings pane refetches on
project_updated)
- PATCH /api/projects/:id accepts default_system_prompt,
default_web_search_enabled
- PATCH /api/sessions/:id accepts web_search_enabled (tri-state)
- POST /api/projects/:id/sessions/archive-all + GET
/api/projects/:id/sessions/open-count
- POST /api/sessions/:id/chats/archive-all + GET
/api/sessions/:id/chats/open-count
- PATCH /api/sessions/:id now broadcasts session_updated on every
successful PATCH (was rename-only). Lets SettingsPane open in
another tab pick up edits without a refetch.
Bulk-archive publishes one session_archived / chat_archived frame
per affected id so useSidebar's existing reducer cases handle them
incrementally — no new frame type, no payload widening.
ModelPicker refactored: shared ModelList inside a responsive shell.
Desktop = labeled trigger + DropdownMenu, mobile = icon-only Cpu
button + BottomSheet. Header in Session.tsx drops the pill wrap on
mobile since the new trigger is the visual.
ChatInput gains an icon-only '+' DropdownMenu next to AgentPicker
when sessionId + webSearchEnabled props are provided. One item for
now — Web search — with a checkmark reflecting the stored value
(true), not the effective one. Click PATCHes the override; to
restore inherit-from-project the user opens SettingsPane.
ThemePicker lifted out of pages/Settings.tsx into a reusable
component. The standalone /settings route is now a thin wrapper
that mounts <ThemePicker /> with a Back button on top
(navigate(-1) with fallback to '/'); the SettingsPane Theme tab
renders the same picker bare.
Project section delete-flow removed (button + confirm dialog +
handler). Replaced with "Archive all sessions" using the same
two-step count → confirm → fire pattern as "Archive all chats" in
the Session section. api.projects.remove() stays in the client
because useProjects.ts still uses it.
Hand-rolled Switch primitive in SettingsPane (no shadcn switch in
the project; spec said no new deps). Section nav is plain buttons
(no shadcn Tabs).
Six builtin defaults (Code Reviewer, Debugger, Refactorer, Architect,
Security Auditor, Prompt Builder) with no model field so session.model
wins. Project root AGENTS.md parsed on demand with mtime cache; when
present, only its agents are shown. sessions.agent_id resolves per turn
into effective system prompt, temperature, and a tool whitelist applied
in inference. AgentPicker mounts in the ChatInput toolbar; SettingsDrawer
agent surface deferred to Batch 7.
- ChatInput: e.nativeEvent.isComposing early-return added (CJK IME
safety — first Enter of a composition no longer submits). Bare-Enter
send path gated by !isMobile so mobile inserts a newline; send is
button-only. Cmd/Ctrl+Enter and Shift+Cmd/Ctrl+Enter retained as
desktop secondary bindings. Placeholder is now viewport-aware. Outer
wrapper gets paddingBottom: env(safe-area-inset-bottom) so iOS home
indicator doesn't overlap.
- MessageBubble: ActionRow buttons (Copy / Regenerate / Fork / Trash)
bumped to max-md min-h/min-w 44px; opacity-100 on mobile so actions
don't hide behind a hover-to-reveal pattern. User bubble and
assistant content wrapper gain break-words + min-w-0 so long
unbreakable strings (URLs / paths) wrap rather than blowing out
the column on narrow viewports.
- ChatPane: queued-message dropdown + close X + Stop-generating button
hit max-md 44px sizing.
- ChatTabBar: per-tab X, +/History/Close-pane action buttons hit
max-md 44px. Tab close X is force-visible on mobile (no
hover-to-reveal).
- M8: CodeBlock / Markdown tables / ToolCallCard already wrap
overflow-x-auto pre-existing — no source change needed there; the
break-words + min-w-0 additions above are the new defensive layer.
Adds a floating popover above the chat input showing current
context-window usage. Modeled on Paseo's tracker.
- New hook useChatContextStats(chatId, messages) finds the latest
assistant message in the chat with both ctx_used and ctx_max set,
computes percent, and returns null when data unavailable.
- New component ChatContextPopover renders a small card with the
"Context window" label, big percent, and "used / max tokens"
subline. Hidden when stats is null.
- Color thresholds: <60% muted, 60-85 amber, >85 destructive.
- Not a portal — absolutely positioned inside a new relative
wrapper around ChatInput in ChatPane.tsx, so it's pane-local
(multi-pane safe).
- Live updates via the existing messages-array dependency.
- No API / schema / WS changes.
Feature 1 — Tab close menu (pure local pane state, no API):
- ChatTabBar context menu: Rename / sep / Close / Close others / Close to right / Close all
- Workspace bulk-tab primitives: closeOtherTabs, closeTabsToRight, closeAllTabs (manipulate panes[].chatIds, no fetch)
- Drop in-bar Delete; landing card's name-typed Delete is the canonical destructive path
Feature 2 — Chat archive + delete:
- chats.status vocabulary aligned with projects ('open' | 'archived'); DROP old inline CHECK, UPDATE 'closed' → 'archived', ADD new named chats_status_chk
- POST /api/chats/:id/archive (204) + POST /api/chats/:id/unarchive (200) + GET /api/sessions/:id/chats?status=archived; DELETE publishes chat_deleted; PATCH simplified to name-only
- 3 new WS frames: chat_archived, chat_unarchived, chat_deleted (renamed from chat_closed)
- Same dedup discipline: server-only publish, no local sessionEvents.emit in client
- SessionLandingPage: right-click ContextMenu (Open / Rename / Archive / sep / Delete-destructive), inline rename, archive confirm dialog, delete dialog with name-typed Input gated until typed text === chat.name, Archived chats collapsible section with Restore
- Card-level Archive + Delete icon buttons reusing the same dialog state setters; stopPropagation on both so card click still opens the chat; archived cards keep only Restore
UX — chat content width cap:
- ChatPane content (MessageList, queue chips, stop button, ChatInput) wrapped in inner max-w-[1000px] mx-auto w-full so messages center; outer border-t / scroll containers stay full-width so pane chrome and backgrounds remain edge-to-edge
- No new deps, no media queries (narrow viewports collapse to width naturally)
Session 1:N Chat data model with backfill. Workspace switches to client-side
multi-tab pane management. Right-rail file browser with float-over viewer and
click-drag line selection replaces FileBrowserPane. Adds /compact streaming
summarizer (respects compact markers in context builder), force-send (cancels
in-flight, persists partial as 'cancelled', awaits cancellation completion via
deferred Promise + 5s timeout), message queue, stop generation, chat
auto-rename, session archive/unarchive with Closed Sessions section on repo
landing page. CHECK constraints on sessions.status, messages.role,
messages.status with KEEP IN SYNC comments tying to MESSAGE_ROLES /
MESSAGE_STATUSES const arrays. Deletes dead pane routes/hook and the
api.panes.* client block.
