- Bug fix: cap hit sentinel inserted before buildMessagesPayload
- docker-compose.yml: boocoder service commented out, BOOCODER_URL env var added
- CLAUDE.md: updated docs for systemd, provider registry, JSONB gotcha, loadContext
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.

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.)

Pattern lift from eyaltoledano/claude-task-master (MIT + Commons Clause
— pattern only, no code lift). Adds BOOCODE_TOOLS env var with three
tiers:
- core (4 tools): view_file, list_dir, grep, find_files. ~2k token
schema cost.
- standard (15 tools): core + web_search, web_fetch, git_status, all
8 codecontext_* tools. ~10k token schema cost.
- all (default; current behavior): every tool in ALL_TOOLS (20). ~21k
token schema cost.
The env var is a CEILING — narrows agent whitelists, never expands.
Default behavior unchanged when var is unset. resolveToolTier is
case-insensitive and falls back to 'all' on unknown values.
CORE_TOOL_NAMES + STANDARD_TOOL_NAMES validated at module load against
TOOLS_BY_NAME via two top-level for-loops that throw on the first
missing name. Module fails to import if a tier references a tool that
doesn't exist in the registry — catches typos and stale tier
definitions at boot rather than silently filtering valid tools out of
agent whitelists.
Wiring: agents.ts parseAgentBlock now reads BOOCODE_TOOLS from
process.env per parse, intersects with the agent's declared frontmatter
tools (or DEFAULT_TOOLS when frontmatter omits the field). Per-parse
read is fine — agents are re-parsed on the existing 60s cache TTL.
Tests: tools.test.ts grows from 1 to 10 tests. Covers resolveToolTier
across tiers/case/unknown values + the CORE-subset-of-STANDARD invariant
+ TOOLS_BY_NAME existence for both tier sets. 204/204 pass (was 195;
+9 new).
Deviation from the brief: the codecontext tools in the actual registry
have NO codecontext_* prefix (the brief's STANDARD list assumed it).
Used the actual names (get_codebase_overview, search_symbols, etc.).
Module-load validation would have failed boot with the prefixed names.
Smoke: with BOOCODE_TOOLS unset, agents return their full 12-tool
whitelists. With BOOCODE_TOOLS=core in .env + container restart, the
same agents narrow to 4 tools (find_files, grep, list_dir, view_file)
— intersection of declared whitelist ∩ core tier. Reverted after
confirmation.
CLAUDE.md updated with BOOCODE_TOOLS in the Environment section's
Optional list. .env.example gained a commented BOOCODE_TOOLS=all line
with the per-tier token-cost table.
~110 LoC across 5 files (4 modified + 1 test expansion). Under the
brief's ~30 LoC estimate for code; the test suite expansion drove
most of the growth.
Adopt Fission-AI/OpenSpec's openspec/changes/<change-name>/{proposal,
specs,design,tasks}.md shape for BooCode's own batch docs. Zero-dep
documentation reformat; replaces ad-hoc boocode_batchN.md /
handoff_vN.N.N.md convention.
Existing batch docs moved into openspec/changes/archived/ via git mv
(preserves history):
- boocode_batch10.md
- handoff_v1.13.8_prefix_verify.md
- handoff_v1.13.10_per_tool_cost.md
Pre-v1.13.15 docs were NOT split into proposal/tasks/design files. The
work was already shipped; the originals are preserved as archived
snapshots. New v1.13.15+ batches land directly in
openspec/changes/<slug>/proposal.md (+ tasks.md, + design.md when
applicable) per the convention documented in openspec/README.md.
CLAUDE.md gained a one-line pointer to the convention (workflow
section). File grew from 153 → 154 lines, 27,682 → 27,925 chars; both
remain well under the AgentLint hard caps.
specs/ directory is reserved for future OpenSpec CLI adoption (v1.14+).
No CLI dep added in this batch — directory structure only. If/when the
full OpenSpec lifecycle is adopted, that lands as a separate batch.
Five additions surfacing session-discovered constraints future Claude
sessions need:
- AI SDK v6 includeUsage:true requirement (avoids re-introducing the
v1.13.1-A→v1.13.7 NULL-tokens regression)
- \n text-delta trim guards in MessageList/MessageBubble + payload.ts
failed/empty-assistant skip rules (avoid undoing v1.13.7)
- 0.85 × ctx_max overflow formula (v1.13.9) replacing the stale
ctx_max - 20k line
- New services/system-prompt.ts bullet documenting the v1.13.8
fingerprint instrumentation surface
- New services/inference/budget.ts bullet with current BUDGET_NO_AGENT=30
and read-only-tools rationale
Audit traced compaction's summary path post-v1.13.1-B read flip:
- Q1: reads from messages_with_parts (view) — clean
- Q2: parts shape correctly threaded through buildHeadPayload — clean
- Q3: reasoning omitted from summary input — FIX NEEDED
v1.13.1-C wired reasoning end-to-end into inference/payload.ts but
missed this read site. Summarizer model couldn't see the reasoning
trail for tool-bearing turns, quietly degrading summary quality for
reasoning-channel models (qwen3.6).
Fix:
- CompactionMessage extended with reasoning_parts field
- SELECT pulls reasoning_parts from messages_with_parts
- buildHeadPayload (now exported for tests) prefixes assistant content
with <reasoning>...</reasoning>\n\n<content>... when reasoning is
present; standalone <reasoning>...</reasoning> for tool-call-only
turns; omits the tag when reasoning is null or empty
4 new render branch tests (190 total).
Smoke deferred: forcing real compaction requires either threshold
pollution or building up a >40k-token chat with reasoning_parts.
Render branches are unit-covered; integration would only re-prove
structural correctness.
Removed /opt/boocode/AGENTS.md (per-project override) — the project's
agents now resolve from the global /data/AGENTS.md only. Eliminates the
two-files-must-stay-in-sync footgun that surfaced during B.3
verification.
Fix: agents.ts ALL_TOOL_NAMES was a hardcoded 9-item whitelist that
silently filtered any unknown tool name from agent.tools arrays. This
caused web_search/web_fetch (v1.11.8) and the 8 codecontext tools to be
dropped at parse time. Replaced with ALL_TOOLS.map(t => t.name) for
single source of truth. Pre-existing exposure was dormant since no
builtin agent listed web_search; surfaced by adding codecontext.
- 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).

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.

Splits the previous /opt:/opt:rw bind into two mounts to narrow the
writable scope of the container:
- /opt:/opt:ro — read-only mount for legacy/existing project
add-existing flow. resolveProjectPath still uses
PROJECT_ROOT_WHITELIST (/opt by default) so existing projects under
/opt/<name> (analytics, boolab, boocode itself) continue to resolve
and serve their file-tree via the read-only tools.
- /opt/projects:/opt/projects:rw — writable mount targeted at the
create-new-project bootstrap path.
Picked Option B from the spec (simpler than two scan roots):
PROJECT_ROOT_WHITELIST stays /opt, new BOOTSTRAP_ROOT env var defaults
to /opt/projects and is used by project_bootstrap.ts as the mkdir
target. Bootstrap path-escape check now compares against
BOOTSTRAP_ROOT.
Prereq: host must `mkdir -p /opt/projects` before next container
restart. Documented in CLAUDE.md and .env.example.
