BOOCHAT.md + BOOCODER.md: 4 verification rules added to both —
verify against running container not source files, never count dist/,
run commands before claiming success, derive counts from commands.
auto_name.ts: chat titles now derived from the assistant's first
response only (user message dropped from naming input). System prompt
updated to "summarize the topic or outcome — do NOT copy the first
few words verbatim." Produces titles like "Fastify Route Setup"
instead of echoing the assistant's opening sentence.
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.
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.)
Manual audit pass against 0xmariowu/AgentLint's evidence-backed checks
(MIT, drawn from 265 versions of Anthropic's internal Claude Code
system prompt).
Findings and fixes:
- Identity sections ("You are the assistant running inside ...") removed
from BOOCHAT.md (line 3) and BOOCODER.md (line 5). The model already
knows where it's running; the openers were emphatic decoration.
- CLAUDE.local.md added to .gitignore (.env was already covered).
Claude Code's Glob tool ignores .gitignore by default, which means
any local override file was otherwise readable by any agent walking
the workspace.
- CLAUDE.md unchanged — already passes all 10 checks. Emphasis density
0.58/1000 words (under Anthropic's 1.4/1000 endpoint); two IMPORTANT/
MUST references are load-bearing (tsc-noEmit footgun, v1.13.7
includeUsage invariant); zero identity sections; zero --no-verify
references; 27,682 chars (under the 40,000-char silent-drop limit).
Line count (153) is over the 60-120 target band, but the brief
explicitly forbids structural rewrites in the audit pass.
Targets not in scope:
- /opt/boocode/AGENTS.md does not exist in this repo (removed in v1.12,
per CLAUDE.md:152). The global agent registry lives at /data/AGENTS.md
(bind-mounted from outside the repo); can't be touched by this batch.
- No .github/workflows/ directory — SHA-pin audit (step 8) skipped.
Cumulative effect: model spends fewer tokens parsing instruction-file
ceremony in BOOCHAT/BOOCODER and receives sharper priority signal per
Anthropic's measured-evolution data. Zero code changes.
