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.)
ChatThroughput renders inline beside StatusDot while streaming or
tool_running. Subscribes to existing usage frames via sessionEvents.
Hides when status drops to idle/error or data is older than 10s.
Addresses the 2026-05-21 spike's UX gap where slow streams looked
identical to dead streams — now there's a live token velocity readout
that immediately distinguishes the two.
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.
With the Split button hidden on mobile (G1), users need another path
to create additional chat panes. Add a "New chat" ContextMenuItem at
the top of each tab's context menu, separated from Rename / Close /
etc. by a ContextMenuSeparator. Wired to the existing onNewChat prop
— no plumbing change. Available on both long-press (mobile) and
right-click (desktop).
- 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.
- Workspace: on mobile renders only panes[activePaneIdx] (rest skipped).
When panes.length > 1, adds a horizontal pane-navigator strip built
from SwipeablePaneTab above the active pane. URL state ?pane=<paneId>
written by switchActivePane (user-initiated only) and read on URL
change (back-button + deep-link). Bare URL resets activePaneIdx to 0.
- useLongPress: 500ms touchstart timer; on fire, dispatches a synthetic
contextmenu event on target.closest('[data-tab-id]') so the existing
Radix ContextMenuTrigger opens at the touch coordinates. Suppresses
the synthetic click that follows touchend. Cancels on touchmove /
touchend / touchcancel.
- ChatTabBar: each tab gets data-tab-id, touch handlers wired to
useLongPress, and WebkitTouchCallout: 'none' to disable iOS Safari's
text-selection callout.
- SwipeablePaneTab: tracks horizontal drag; bails if vertical delta
exceeds 30px (so vertical scroll still works); past 60px on release
fires onClose (removePane), else snaps back. Opacity fades 1->0.4
approaching the threshold. Hand-rolled per spec.
- Pane drag-and-drop disabled on mobile (HTML5 drag is broken on touch
anyway; mobile uses the navigator + swipe-to-close instead).
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.
