v2.0.0-final: dispatcher + task queue + agent probing

Phase 4 of v2.0. BooCoder can now queue tasks and dispatch them through the inference loop autonomously. Dispatcher (services/dispatcher.ts): in-process setInterval(5s) polls tasks WHERE state='pending', picks one at a time, creates an isolated session+chat, enqueues inference with the task's input as the user message, polls for completion, marks state completed/failed with output_summary. Single-task-at-a-time for v2.0.0; parallel dispatch is a Phase 5+ concern. Respects onClose hook for graceful shutdown. Task routes (routes/tasks.ts): POST /api/tasks (create), GET /api/tasks (list with state/project filters), GET /api/tasks/:id (detail), POST /api/tasks/:id/cancel (marks cancelled, aborts if running). Agent probe (services/agent-probe.ts): on startup, probes PATH for opencode/goose/claude/pi via which + --version. UPSERTs into available_agents table. Finds nothing inside the container (expected — Phase 5 addresses host-agent access via ACP/PTY). Schema: ALTER TABLE tasks ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS session_id (links task to its auto-created inference session for isolation). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

 - Cite file paths + line numbers for any claim about the codebase
 - When uncertain about scope or intent, surface options via `ask_user_input` rather than guessing
 - Prefer codecontext (`search_symbols`, `get_symbol_info`, `get_dependencies`) over `grep` for symbol-level questions. Fall back to `grep` / `view_file` when codecontext returns degraded or empty results — that signals an unsupported language or parse failure.
+- Verify before reporting work complete: run the relevant test/build/smoke command and confirm output matches the claim. Evidence first, assertion second.
+
+## Output format
+
+- Stay in Markdown by default for every reply, short or long.
+- Switch to a self-contained `<!DOCTYPE html>...</html>` artifact only when the user explicitly asks (e.g. "render this as HTML", "make me a dashboard", "build an interactive diagram"). Detection is opportunistic — the BooChat backend tags the assistant message as an HTML artifact, opens it in a sandboxed pane, and offers Download. Do not emit HTML unprompted; long Markdown is the right answer for most explanatory output.
+- When asked to produce HTML, avoid generic AI aesthetics: no excessive centered layouts, no purple gradients, no uniform rounded corners, no Inter font. Prefer interactive controls (sliders / knobs / SVG / side-by-side diffs) over passive prose-in-HTML. Pattern reference: claude.com/blog/using-claude-code-the-unreasonable-effectiveness-of-html (Thariq Shihipar, May 2026).
+- The HTML artifact is rendered in a sandboxed iframe with `connect-src 'none'` — `fetch()`, WebSockets, and tracking pixels do not work. All logic must be client-side.
+
+## Convention: rules vs recipes
+
+Always-true rules (process discipline, refusals, behavior contracts) live here in `BOOCHAT.md` — and in `BOOCODER.md` / `CLAUDE.md` per their scopes — where they are 100% present in every turn. On-demand recipes (specific procedures, scaffolds, checklists) live in `/data/skills/` and invoke roughly 6% of the time in clean multi-turn flow (Codeminer42 measurement, 2026). Don't file workflow rules as skills — they silently misfire. See Anthropic agent-skills best-practices (platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/best-practices) for the canonical conventions.
+
+## Verification discipline
+
+- When assessing implementation status, verify against the running container (`curl /api/health`) and latest git commit (`git log --oneline -3`), not just source file contents. Source files can be mid-edit. The deployed state is the truth.
+- Never count `dist/` directory sizes as source lines. Only count `src/**/*.ts` files. Compiled output is inflated by inlined types and transpilation artifacts.
+- Before claiming a feature works, run the actual command and show the output. "Should work" is not verification. Acceptable evidence: test output (`pnpm test`), build output (`pnpm build`), curl response, docker logs, `\d tablename` output. If you can't run it, say so explicitly — don't assert success without evidence.
+- When reporting counts (tools, tests, files, routes, lines), derive the number from a command (`grep -c`, `wc -l`, test runner output) — not from memory or approximation.

-# BooCoder
+# BooCoder — Container Guidance

-> (Stub. v2.0 implementation pending. This file documents the intended contract.)
+You are BooCoder, a write-capable coding agent. You can read AND modify files within the project scope.

-You are the assistant running inside BooCoder — the write-capable companion to BooChat.
+## You can

-## Capabilities
+- Read files (view_file, list_dir, grep, find_files)
+- Edit files (edit_file, create_file, delete_file) — all changes queue in pending_changes
+- Apply pending changes to disk (apply_pending)
+- Revert applied changes (rewind)
+- Dispatch tasks to external agents (dispatch_external_agent)
+- Use MCP tools from configured servers

- Everything in `BOOCHAT.md`
- Write tools (pending): `write_file`, `edit_file`, `delete_file` (all gated through pending-changes sandbox)
- Shell (pending): `run_command` (Docker-isolated per-session)
+## You cannot

-## Constraints
+- Write outside the project root (path-guard enforced)
+- Write to secret files (.env, *.pem, id_rsa*, credentials.json)
+- Apply changes without explicit user approval (unless auto-apply is enabled per task)
+- Push to git remotes
+- Access the internet except via configured MCP servers

- All writes land in a pending-changes virtual layer; nothing touches the real filesystem until `/apply`
- `run_command` executes inside the session sandbox, not the host
- No git commits, pushes, or pulls — Sam owns those
- Stop and ask before destructive operations (delete, overwrite, recreate)
+## Pending changes discipline
+
+Every file modification queues in `pending_changes` before touching disk. The user sees a diff preview and approves/rejects each change. Never bypass this queue — it is the safety boundary between inference and the filesystem.

 ## Behavior

- Show a diff preview before any write
- Group related edits into a single `/apply` batch
- If a tool fails, surface the error verbatim — don't paper over it
+- Show diffs clearly. Explain what you're changing and why.
+- For multi-file changes, organize as a logical unit (one task = one coherent change set).
+- If uncertain about scope, use smaller edits and verify between steps.
+- Cite file paths + line numbers for context.
+- Verify before reporting work complete: run the relevant test/build/smoke and confirm output matches the claim. Evidence first, assertion second.

+## v1.16.0-codesight-merge — 2026-05-24
+
+Ports codesight's highest-value analysis capabilities into the codecontext sidecar as 4 new MCP tools. Tier 1 (graph queries on existing edges, no re-parsing): `get_blast_radius` (BFS reverse-edge traversal — "what breaks if I change this file?", with depth tracking) and `get_hot_files` (most-imported files ranked by incoming edge count — change-risk indicators). Tier 2 (tree-sitter AST re-parsing on demand): `get_routes` (Fastify/Express HTTP route extraction with method, path, file, line, inferred tags for db/auth/cache) and `get_middleware` (middleware registration detection via import-name heuristics and app.register/addHook/setErrorHandler patterns, classifying as auth/cors/rate-limit/security/error-handler/logging/validation). All 4 tools use `defer s.graphMu.RUnlock()` for consistent mutex discipline (reviewer caught that the initial implementation released the lock early on the Tier 2 tools). Route object-property extraction delegates to `extractStringValue` for template-literal handling (reviewer catch). codecontext sidecar rebuilt from `/opt/forks/codecontext` commit `b19e646`, tagged `v1.16.0-codesight-merge`. BooCode wrapper tools follow the existing codecontext pattern — 4 new files in `apps/server/src/services/tools/codecontext/`, registered in ALL_TOOLS. 29 new Go tests + 363/363 BooCode server tests passing. No schema changes, no frontend changes.
+
+## v1.15.0-mcp-multi — 2026-05-24
+
+Multi-server MCP client with stdio + Streamable HTTP transports, JSON config file, and per-agent tool glob patterns. Generalizes the v1.14.1 single-server Context7 PoC into a registry of named MCP servers with per-server graceful degradation. JSON config at `/data/mcp.json` (bind-mounted alongside `AGENTS.md`) matches opencode's `mcpServers` schema shape so server entries are copy-pasteable. Config file missing = no MCP (opt-in by file presence). Stdio transport spawns a persistent subprocess via the SDK's `StdioClientTransport` with NDJSON framing; Streamable HTTP reuses the v1.14.1 pattern via `StreamableHTTPClientTransport`. Tool prefix generalized from `context7_<name>` to `<serverName>_<toolName>` with a reverse `toolToServer` map for dispatch routing. Per-agent AGENTS.md `tools:` field now supports glob patterns (`context7_*`, `!web_*`) via `matchToolGlob` (last-match-wins, `!` prefix denies); replaces the exact-match `.includes()` in `stream-phase.ts`. Glob patterns bypass `ALL_TOOL_NAMES` validation in the parser since MCP tool names aren't known at parse time. `refreshToolNames()` in `agents.ts` rebuilds the `DEFAULT_TOOLS` snapshot after `appendMcpTools` so agents without explicit `tools:` lists see MCP tools — reviewer caught that the module-load-time snapshot would permanently exclude late-registered tools. Read-only invariant preserved: all MCP tools with `readOnlyHint: false` rejected at discovery. Result size capped at 5MB. Shutdown hook closes all transports. v1.14.1 env vars (`MCP_CONTEXT7_URL`, `MCP_CONTEXT7_API_KEY`) removed — superseded by the config file. Default `data/mcp.json` ships with Context7 disabled; flip `"enabled": true` to activate. 363/363 server tests passing (27 new: multi-server wrapping, glob matching, routing, degradation). No schema changes, no frontend changes.
+
+## v1.14.1-mcp-poc — 2026-05-23
+
+Single-server MCP client PoC against Context7. New `apps/server/src/services/mcp-client.ts` (~200 lines) wraps `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` v1.29.0 with Streamable HTTP transport. On startup (when `MCP_CONTEXT7_URL` is set), connects to Context7, discovers tools via `tools/list`, wraps each as a `ToolDef` prefixed `context7_<name>`, and appends to `ALL_TOOLS` (alpha-sorted for prompt-cache stability). `appendMcpTools()` in `tools.ts` handles the late-registration; `ALL_TOOLS` changed from `ReadonlyArray` to mutable to support it. Read-only invariant guard rejects any MCP tool with `readOnlyHint: false` (MCP SDK v1.29.0 uses `readOnlyHint`, not `readOnly`). Tool dispatch is transparent — `executeToolCall` routes MCP tool calls through the `ToolDef.execute` wrapper, which strips the `context7_` prefix before calling the MCP server. Graceful degradation: MCP server down at startup → zero tools, warn log; MCP server down mid-session → error-shaped result, model self-corrects. Result size capped at 5MB with truncation (matches native `view_file`'s `MAX_FILE_BYTES`). Adversarial review caught that the Zod `.default('https://...')` on the URL config made MCP effectively always-on instead of opt-in — fixed by removing the default. 348/348 server tests passing (16 new mcp-client tests covering tool wrapping, read-only guard, name prefixing, content extraction). No schema changes, no frontend changes. Proves the MCP tool-discovery → tool-call → result-render loop end-to-end before the full v1.15 port.
+
+## v1.14.0-outer-loop — 2026-05-23
+
+Converts the inference engine's ad-hoc `executeToolPhase → runAssistantTurn` recursion into an explicit `while` loop with a configurable step cap. 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` is the hard ceiling (4x the 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). `executeToolPhase` no longer recurses — returns a `ToolPhaseResult` struct (`action: 'continue' | 'paused' | 'synthesis_done'`) so the caller (the while loop) decides whether to continue or break. `steps: 0` is handled as "no tool calls allowed" — one text-only stream phase, tool calls ignored with a warn log. Step-cap hits produce a sentinel summary (reuses `cap_hit` kind so `CapHitSentinel.tsx` renders it without frontend changes; text distinguishes "Step limit reached" from "Tool budget exhausted"). Doom-loop check migrated from pre-recursion position to top of loop body — same predicate (`detectDoomLoop`), same threshold (3 identical calls), `break` instead of `return`. `step_start` parts are in the schema CHECK but not emitted as message_parts in v1.14 — writing to the assistant message before the stream phase creates a sequence-0 collision with `partsFromAssistantMessage`; a structured log line is emitted instead. Adversarial review caught the collision pre-deploy. 332/332 server tests passing; no frontend changes. Pairs with `v1.13.20-drop-legacy-cols` (parts is now the sole source of truth, and this batch's loop operates entirely through parts).
+
+## v1.13.20-drop-legacy-cols — 2026-05-23
+
+Final phase of the v1.13.0 strangler-fig migration. Removes the dual-write into `messages.tool_calls` / `messages.tool_results` JSON columns and drops the columns themselves; `message_parts` is now the only source of truth for tool-call and tool-result data. 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) — recon's grep-driven inventory caught 2 sites beyond the original v1.13.2 roadmap count. `messages_with_parts` view simplified to parts-only subselects (COALESCE fallbacks gone) and rewritten via `CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW` BEFORE the column DROP since Postgres rejects column-drop on view-referenced cols. Adversarial review caught a runtime bug the green test suite missed: `chats.ts:/api/chats/:id/discard_stale` had a `RETURNING ... tool_calls, tool_results, ...` clause referencing the dropped columns; would have crashed on every 60s-no-token-activity recovery in production. Fixed by switching to two-step UPDATE-then-SELECT-from-view so the response keeps the parts-synthesized fields. `Message` API type retains `tool_calls?` / `tool_results?` fields (override on the original v1.13.2 plan) — the view continues to populate them from parts, so the wire shape is unchanged and the frontend needs no updates. v1.12.1 cleanup block (`DROP CONSTRAINT messages_status_check`/`messages_role_check`) removed — those one-shots have done their work. `tool_cost_stats.test.ts` had a direct `INSERT INTO messages` touching the legacy columns that wasn't in the roadmap's inventory; rewritten to parts-table inserts and confirmed semantically faithful. 339/339 server tests passing including the 7 DB-integration tests (live-DB applied the schema migration and ran the parts-only view end-to-end). Pairs with `v1.13.0-ai-sdk-v6` (which introduced the dual-write) and `v1.13.1-B` (which moved the read path to `messages_with_parts`); umbrella `v1.13` tag ships on the same commit.
+
+## v1.13.19-html-artifact-panes — 2026-05-23
+
+Pane-based artifact viewer with on-request HTML support. Every assistant message gets an "Open in pane" icon button (`PanelRightOpen`, mobile 44px tap-target) in `MessageBubble`'s ActionRow; click opens the message in the workspace splitter as either a Markdown pane (Copy raw source + Download `.md`) or an HTML pane (Download `.html` only, no Copy). The HTML path triggers when the model emits a self-contained `<!DOCTYPE html>` or fenced ` ```html` artifact (opt-in only — `BOOCHAT.md` rule says Markdown is default at every length; HTML only on explicit user request like "render this as HTML"). Backend detection in `finalizeCompletion` (`error-handler.ts`) writes a new `message_parts.kind='html_artifact'` row with payload `{html_content, char_count, title}` (`<title>` → first `<h1>` → first 80 chars of inner text). Schema CHECK extended via the v1.13.13 drop-and-re-add pattern. 1MB cap is graceful — over-cap artifacts skip the part write and plain content lands; decision factored into a pure `decideHtmlArtifactWrite` helper so the warn-and-skip branch is unit-testable without mocking the full InferenceContext. Pane state is reference-only (`{chat_id, message_id, title}`) — content is fetched on mount, keeping `sessions.workspace_panes` jsonb small and avoiding 1MB blobs riding the `session_workspace_updated` WS frame. New `services/artifacts.ts` ships slug derivation (Markdown: first `#` heading → first 6 words; HTML: `<title>` → `<h1>` → inner text) and write helpers that realpath the artifacts directory after `mkdir` to close a symlink-escape gap (`assertArtifactsDirSafe`). `routes/artifacts.ts` exposes POST `/api/chats/:id/messages/:msg_id/artifacts/download?fmt=md|html` (writes to `<projectRoot>/.boocode/artifacts/<slug>-<ts>.<ext>`) plus GET `/api/projects/:project_id/artifacts/:filename` with `Content-Disposition: attachment`, `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, and `Content-Security-Policy: sandbox` defense-in-depth on LLM-served HTML. iframe sandbox locks to `allow-scripts allow-clipboard-write allow-downloads` with no `allow-same-origin` and uses `srcDoc` (not `src`) for opaque-origin isolation. Frontend extracts `MarkdownRenderer.tsx` from `MessageBubble`'s inline `MarkdownBody` for reuse; `MarkdownArtifactPane.tsx` / `HtmlArtifactPane.tsx` render with loading + error states. 404-vs-real-error discrimination in `openInPane`: a real network/500 failure toasts and bails instead of silently masquerading as a Markdown pane. 31 new server unit tests (slug derivation, detection positive/negative, write helpers, symlink-escape, 1MB cap, real-symlink filesystem test); 332/332 server tests passing; `tsc -p apps/web/tsconfig.app.json --noEmit` clean; `pnpm -C apps/web build` green. Smoke deferred to first deploy.
+
+## v1.13.18-codecontext-file-path — 2026-05-22
+
+Fix: four codecontext wrappers (`get_file_analysis`, `get_symbol_info`, `get_dependencies`, `get_semantic_neighborhoods`) forwarded `file_path` to the sidecar unchanged, but the sidecar's index is keyed on absolute paths — every relative path from the model returned "File not found in graph" (three back-to-back failures in one chat at 17:56 UTC, ~48 s of wasted tool budget). New `resolveProjectPath` helper in `codecontext_client.ts:64-89` realpath-resolves the candidate, applies the same escape check as the existing `target_dir` resolver (matching the error template byte-for-byte except the field name), and falls through with the normalised absolute on ENOENT so the sidecar issues its own self-correctable "File not found" error. Wired into `callCodecontext` once at the args-spread site — all four wrappers benefit without per-wrapper edits. `.trim()` added to all four `file_path` Zod schemas to absorb trailing newlines from model output. Adversarial review caught a P2 escape-bypass: an absolute path with `..` (e.g. `<projectRoot>/../etc/passwd`) that ENOENTs at realpath would slip through the literal prefix-check, fixed by `resolve()`-normalising the absolute branch too. 9 new test cases in `codecontext_client.test.ts` (7 spec scenarios + symlink-out-of-root + absolute-with-`..` ENOENT) plus a 1-line update in `codecontext_tools.test.ts` asserting the new resolved-absolute contract. Pairs with `v1.13.17-cross-repo-reads` — both harden path traversal, but v1.13.18 stays inside the project root while v1.13.17 widens access outside it.
+
+## v1.13.17-cross-repo-reads — 2026-05-22
+
+On-demand read access to paths outside the session's primary project root. Closes the dead-end where `pathGuard` rejected every cross-repo read with no recovery path. New `request_read_access(path, reason)` tool emits an `ask_user_input`-style pause; user picks Allow/Deny via inline chips in `RequestReadAccessCard.tsx`; on Allow, the new `POST /api/chats/:id/grant_read_access` endpoint re-resolves the grant root and appends to `sessions.allowed_read_paths` (new `TEXT[]` column, default empty). Grant unit per design D1 = nearest registered `projects.path` ancestor → else nearest repo-shaped ancestor (`.git/` / `package.json` / `go.mod` / `Cargo.toml`) under `PROJECT_ROOT_WHITELIST` → else refuse without prompting. `pathGuard` extended with an optional `extraRoots` argument threaded from `session.allowed_read_paths` through `executeToolCall` to the four filesystem tools (view_file, list_dir, grep, find_files); `view_file` re-anchors the secret-guard check on `basename(real)` whenever the path resolved via a grant root so `.env` / `id_rsa*` deny still fires across grants. `grant_resolver.ts`'s ancestor walk checks the whitelist invariant on every iteration (not just final parent) so a symlinked input can't escape mid-walk. PATCH `/api/sessions/:id` exposes `allowed_read_paths` only for revocation: zod refines paths to absolute + no traversal markers, and a runtime subset guard (`findUnauthorizedAdditions`) rejects any entry not already present in the row, so a malicious `curl -X PATCH -d '{"allowed_read_paths":["/etc"]}'` 400s instead of bypassing the grant flow. Settings pane gains a per-session revoke list; archiving the session clears grants implicitly. 11 grant_resolver tests pin the symlink-escape-mid-walk guard (Sam's checkpoint-1 ask) and the nearest-project disambiguation; 8 path_guard tests cover extraRoots traversal; 8 sessions PATCH tests cover the subset guard including the `/etc` bypass attempt. Pairs with `v1.13.16-xml-parser` (model now both self-recovers from a wrong tool name AND from a refused path).
+
+## v1.13.16-xml-parser — 2026-05-22
+
+Two-part fix for the model-emitted XML drift the v1.13.15 investigation surfaced. **Parser extension:** `xml-parser.ts` now recognizes the Anthropic `<invoke name="…"><parameter name="…">…</parameter></invoke>` shape alongside the existing Qwen/Hermes `<tool_call><function=…>…</function></tool_call>` shape. qwen3.6-35b-a3b-mxfp4 drifts to the Anthropic format when prompted as an Architect-style agent (Claude Code documentation in its pre-training corpus). Both formats route through the same synthetic-id `xml_call_${idx}` ToolCall path. The existing Qwen parser was tightened to tolerate whitespace around `=` (`<function = name>` shape) so a stray space doesn't get absorbed into the function name. **Unknown-tool recovery hint:** new `tool-suggestions.ts` exports `levenshtein()` + `suggestToolName()` + `formatUnknownToolError()`. When the dispatcher (`tool-phase.ts:executeToolCall`) receives an unknown tool name, the error returned to the model 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`. Test coverage in `xml-parser.test.ts` (46 tests, all green) covers both parsers, the partial-opener detector for both flavors, the unified extraction helper, and the new error formatter.
+
+## v1.13.15-codecontext-synth — 2026-05-22
+
+Forced second-inference synthesis pass for codecontext overview-class tools (`get_codebase_overview`, `get_framework_analysis`, `get_semantic_neighborhoods`). After the tool result lands, the pipeline expands the truncated head via in-process `readTruncation`, extracts referenced file paths from the full content, auto-fetches top-N files + project docs (BOOCHAT.md, AGENTS.md, *roadmap*.md, CONTEXT.md) under a 32k-token budget with explicit drop-priority order, then streams a synthesis turn that replaces the recursive `runAssistantTurn`. The 32k truncated head still ships to the synth model (token-budget contract preserved); the expansion is reference-extraction-only. Falls through to recursion on timeout (90s), model error, or non-2xx; user-abort marks the synth message `status='failed'` and re-throws (the outer abort handler operates on the parent turn's message, not the new synth row — without explicit marking, the row would sit `streaming` until the 5-min sweeper, tripping the 60s stale-stream banner). Adds `'synthesis'` to `message_parts.kind` CHECK constraint via `DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS` + `DO $$ pg_constraint` idempotency-guarded re-add. Smokes #1, #2, #6 all clean; smokes #3–#5 are content-quality checks for UI review.

+Multi-topic batch. **Skills audit (headline):** vendored all 26 skills from `/home/samkintop/opt/skills/` into repo-local `data/skills/` (the `/opt/skills:/data/skills` override mount removed from `docker-compose.yml` so skills are auditable per-batch in git). Audited via 5 parallel Claude Code agent-teams running mgechev's 4-step protocol per skill — 14 survive with gerund-form names + refined triggers; 11 dropped (duplicates, BooCode-irrelevant patterns, Claude-already-does-natively); 1 (`verification-before-completion`) migrated to `BOOCHAT.md`/`BOOCODER.md` as an always-true rule. The Codeminer42 "rules vs recipes" split codified in those files. **Token tracking + stale-stream banner fix:** same root cause — `IsoTimestamp = z.string()` in `ws-frames.ts` was failing on postgres `Date` objects, silently dropping every `message_complete` / `session_updated` / `chat_updated` frame through the `v1.13.13-ws-publish` Zod gate; `z.preprocess(v => v instanceof Date ? v.toISOString() : v, ...)` applied to the primitive on both server + web (parity test still passes). **Codecontext ignore:** `codecontext_client.ts` auto-installs `.codecontextignore.template` into any project's root on first call (stops the upstream empty-source-file parser crash on foreign projects' `node_modules`). **Budget bump:** `BUDGET_READ_ONLY` + `BUDGET_NO_AGENT` 30 → 50 (real recon need ~27 + headroom for codecontext failure-retry turns; doom-loop guard catches the loop class anyway). **UI:** queued-message dropdown → edit / force-send / cancel buttons in `ChatPane.tsx`; `ChatThroughput` removed from desktop tab strip (mobile tab switcher keeps it). Audit decisions in `openspec/changes/v1.13.12-skills-audit/audit-notes.md`.
+
+## v1.13.13-ws-publish — 2026-05-22
+
+Second half of the WebSocket-frame-typing batch. Converts the existing ~50 inference + auto_name publish sites (via the `index.ts` adapter) plus ~30 direct `broker.publish*` call sites in routes + compaction, so every server-emitted frame now goes through Zod validation at the broker boundary. Pairs with `v1.13.12-ws-schemas`.
+
+## v1.13.12-ws-schemas — 2026-05-22
+
+First half of the WebSocket-frame-typing batch. Adds `apps/server/src/types/ws-frames.ts` with Zod schemas for all 27 wire-format frame types (discriminated union `WsFrameSchema` + `KNOWN_FRAME_TYPES` diagnostic lookup), duplicated byte-identical at `apps/web/src/api/ws-frames.ts` with a parity test. Introduces the `publishFrame` / `publishUserFrame` wrappers that fail-closed on schema mismatch.
+
+## v1.13.11-tools — 2026-05-22
+
+Tiered tool loading via `BOOCODE_TOOLS` env var (`core` | `standard` | `all`). Core = 4 read-only fs tools (~2k token schema cost). Standard = +web + git + codecontext (~10k). All (default) = every tool in `ALL_TOOLS` (~21k). The var is a ceiling — narrows agent whitelists, never expands. Pattern lifted from `eyaltoledano/claude-task-master`.
+
+## v1.13.10-openspec — 2026-05-22
+
+Adopt `Fission-AI/OpenSpec`'s `openspec/changes/<slug>/{proposal,tasks,design}.md` shape for BooCode's own batch docs. Existing batch docs (`boocode_batch10.md`, `handoff_v1.13.8_prefix_verify.md`, `handoff_v1.13.10_per_tool_cost.md`) moved into `openspec/changes/archived/` via `git mv` to preserve history. Zero-dep documentation reformat.
+
+## v1.13.9-agentlint — 2026-05-22
+
+Manual audit of instruction files against `0xmariowu/AgentLint`'s 31-check standard. Removed identity-opener sections from `BOOCHAT.md` and `BOOCODER.md` (emphatic decoration the model doesn't need). Added `CLAUDE.local.md` to `.gitignore` — Claude Code's Glob ignores `.gitignore` by default, so local overrides were otherwise readable by any agent walking the workspace. `CLAUDE.md` passed all 10 checks unchanged.
+
+## v1.13.8-tool-cost — 2026-05-22
+
+Per-tool prompt/completion-token rolling averages surfaced in AgentPicker as at-a-glance cost hints. Implementation is the `tool_cost_stats` SQL view over `messages_with_parts` (`LATERAL jsonb_array_elements` on `tool_calls`), plus a read endpoint and a tooltip extension. Equal-split attribution — multi-tool turn divides tokens N-ways; the 100-call rolling mean absorbs split noise. Filters out `cap_hit` / `doom_loop` sentinels. Source data already lands via existing UPDATEs that `v1.13.5-stability-bundle`'s `includeUsage: true` fix made non-NULL.
+
+## v1.13.7-compaction-trigger — 2026-05-22
+
+Compaction overflow trigger lowered to `floor(0.85 × ctx_max)`, replacing the v1.11.0-era `ctx_max − 20_000` formula. Old formula gave only 7.6% headroom at 262k context and 0 budget for ≤20k contexts (never fired). New formula gives consistent 15% summarizer headroom across all model sizes. Opencode pattern lift from `session/overflow.ts`.
+
+## v1.13.6-prefix-stability — 2026-05-22
+
+System-prompt prefix stability verify-and-measure. Recon during planning disproved the original DB-cache premise: `buildSystemPrompt` already runs over inputs mtime-cached at the file layer (BOOCHAT.md, AGENTS.md global+per-project), and DB scalars are byte-stable until edited. This batch closes the verification gap with instrumentation, not implementation — `buildSystemPromptWithFingerprint` computes SHA-256 over the assembled prefix and a per-session `Map` observer fires `prefix-drift` (warn) on hash change with field-level `changed_inputs` diff.
+
+## v1.13.5-stability-bundle — 2026-05-22
+
+Five fixes for latent regressions surfaced during the cosmetic-revert investigation. (1) `provider.ts` — `includeUsage: true` on `createOpenAICompatible` (default false omitted `stream_options.include_usage`; llama-swap never emitted usage; tokens_used / ctx_used were NULL on every assistant row since `v1.13.0-ai-sdk-v6`). (2) `MessageList.tsx` — `hasText = m.content.trim().length > 0` to skip whitespace-only tool-call-only turns rendering empty bubbles. (3) `BUDGET_NO_AGENT` raised 15 → 30 to match read-only agent cap. (4) `payload.ts` skips status='failed' + complete-but-empty assistant rows so cap-hit + Continue doesn't upstream-reject. (5) Misc UI sanitization.
+
+## v1.13.4-reasoning-fix — 2026-05-22
+
+Compaction head-assembly audit caught one fix: reasoning was omitted from the summarizer's view of tool-bearing turns, silently degrading summary quality for reasoning-channel models (qwen3.6). `v1.13.0-ai-sdk-v6` had wired reasoning end-to-end into inference but missed this one read site. `CompactionMessage` extended with `reasoning_parts`; `buildHeadPayload` embeds it as a `<reasoning>...</reasoning>` prose prefix on the assistant content (OpenAI wire shape has no structured reasoning field).
+
+## v1.13.3-truncate — 2026-05-22
+
+Port of opencode's `truncate.ts`. Full tool output retrievable via opaque `tr_<12 base32 chars>` id (~60 bits entropy) and a new `view_truncated_output(id)` tool. Tmpfs storage at `/tmp/boocode-truncations/` (overridable via `BOOCODE_TRUNCATION_DIR`), 5MB cap, 7-day TTL, orphan-reap on the periodic 60s sweeper. Wired through four tools: `view_file`, `list_dir`, `web_fetch`, `codecontext_client`. Each returns the existing sliced view plus an `outputPath` field when truncation fires.
+
+## v1.13.2-compaction-prune — 2026-05-22
+
+Two-tier compaction prune — opencode pattern that was half-shipped in v1.11.0. New `message_parts.hidden_at` column with partial index on `WHERE hidden_at IS NULL`. `messages_with_parts` view changed from `COALESCE(parts, legacy)` to a CASE that distinguishes "no parts at all → fall back to legacy column for pre-v1.13.0 history" from "all parts hidden → drop the row from the model payload" (smoke caught the `COALESCE` leaking hidden parts back via legacy fallback). `prune.ts` scans `tool_result` parts newest-first, protects the last 40k tokens, marks older candidates hidden once the combined estimate clears 20k.
+
+## v1.13.1-cleanup-bundle — 2026-05-22
+
+Four independent items owed from prior dispatches. (1) `statement_timeout = '30s'` at the database level (documented in `schema.sql` but applied operationally — `ALTER DATABASE` can't run inside a `DO` block). (2) Tool registry alpha-sorted at module load — llama.cpp's prompt cache hits on byte-identical prefixes; reordering tools near the top of the system prompt would invalidate every cached turn. (3) Periodic 60s stuck-row sweeper. (4) `experimental_repairToolCall` to keep streams alive on malformed qwen3.6 tool args (pass-through implementation — logs and forwards unmodified; existing zod-reject path routes back to the model).
+
+## v1.13.0-ai-sdk-v6 — 2026-05-22
+
+Major migration to AI SDK v6. Introduces the `streamCompletion` adapter (`services/inference/stream-phase.ts`) over `streamText`, with five known gotchas the LSP can't catch — abort signals swallowed by `fullStream` (post-iteration throw required), usage lands only at stream end via `await result.usage`, tools have no `execute` field (BooCode dispatches in `tool-phase.ts`), and tool-call-only turns may emit a leading `\n` text-delta. Also ships the `messages_with_parts` view (parts-merge read path) and wires `reasoning_parts` end-to-end via a `ReasoningPart` in the v6 ModelMessage. Ports `ask_user_input` correlation queries from JSON columns to `message_parts` JOINs.
+
+## v1.12.4-inference-split — 2026-05-21
+
+Complete `inference.ts` split into `services/inference/`. Pieces: `turn.ts` (orchestration — `runAssistantTurn` / `runInference` / `createInferenceRunner`), `sentinel-summaries.ts` (`runCapHitSummary`, `runDoomLoopSummary`), `stream-phase.ts`, `tool-phase.ts`, `provider.ts`, `payload.ts`, `prune.ts`, `budget.ts`, `xml-parser.ts`, `error-handler.ts`, `sentinels.ts`, `parts.ts`, `types.ts`. Public surface re-exported via `inference/index.ts`; callers import from `./services/inference/index.js` explicitly (NodeNext doesn't honor directory-index resolution).
+
+## v1.12.3-stale-banner — 2026-05-21
+
+Stale-stream banner with Retry/Discard. When an assistant message sits `status='streaming'` with no token activity for 60+ seconds, the chat shows a banner above the input. Both actions clear the stale row via new `POST /api/chats/:id/discard_stale` (updates `status='failed'`, publishes `chat_status='idle'`). Closes the UX gap from the 2026-05-21 debugging spiral — slow streams and dead streams now look different.
+
+## v1.12.2-live-toks — 2026-05-21
+
+Live tok/s + ctx display next to the status indicator. `ChatThroughput` renders inline beside `StatusDot` while streaming or tool_running. Subscribes to existing `'usage'` WS frames (500ms-throttled, carrying `completion_tokens` + `ctx_used` + `ctx_max`) via `sessionEvents`. Hides when status drops to idle/error or data is older than 10s. Addresses the same UX gap as `v1.12.3-stale-banner` — gives users a live token velocity readout that immediately distinguishes slow from dead.
+
+## v1.12.1-stop-handler — 2026-05-21
+
+`handleAbortOrError` now writes `status='cancelled'` on user stop; rows no longer stuck `streaming` forever. Drops stale `messages_status_check` constraint (only `messages_status_chk` remains, allowing 'cancelled' via TS `MESSAGE_STATUSES`). Removes `detectSameNameLoop` and `DOOM_LOOP_SAME_NAME_THRESHOLD` (added during the 2026-05-21 debugging spike, never fired in any real run) plus 12 verbose `ctx.log.info` diagnostic markers from the same spike. Bundles workspace pane sync + status indicator overhaul + startup hung-row sweep that landed earlier in v1.12.1 work.
+
+## v1.12.0-codecontext — 2026-05-21
+
+Adds the `codecontext` sidecar (Go-based code-graph indexer at `codecontext:8080/v1/<tool_name>` over `boocode_net`) plus container guidance and skills runtime updates. Introduces the `chat_status` WS frame (`streaming | tool_running | waiting_for_input | idle | error`, widened from `working|idle|error`). Drops the deprecated `session_panes` table — workspace pane state moves to `sessions.workspace_panes jsonb` for cross-device sync via `PATCH /api/sessions/:id/workspace`.
+
+## v1.11.1-consolidation — 2026-05-21
+
+Rollup of v1.11.0–v1.11.10 work that was shipped piecemeal. Covers anchored rolling compaction (single `summary=true` row per chat that supersedes itself), doom-loop guard via `detectDoomLoop`, `path_guard` secret-filename deny list, web tools (`web_search` against SearXNG + `web_fetch` with SSRF/private-IP block), and the 5MB stream-cap on response bodies with abort-on-overflow.
+
+## v1.11.0-context-bar — 2026-05-20
+
+Persistent context-window tracker in `ChatPane` + `ctx_max` capture via `${LLAMA_SWAP_URL}/upstream/<model>/props`. First inferences after a boocode boot may have `ctx_max=NULL` if llama-swap hasn't loaded the model yet — 60s negative cache TTL recovers on next turn. Replaced an earlier dead read of `parsed.timings.n_ctx` which never carried n_ctx.
+
+## v1.10.1-booterm-user — 2026-05-19
+
+Per-user shell privilege drop in the booterm container via `gosu` in `tmux.conf` default-command. Shells launched in browser terminal panes drop privs to `samkintop` rather than running as root inside the container.
+
+## v1.10.0-booterm — 2026-05-18
+
+Second container (`apps/booterm`, port 9501, bookworm-slim+glibc). Fastify + node-pty + tmux. Browser terminal panes connect via WS to `/ws/term/sessions/:sid/panes/:pid`; per-session tmux session `bc-<sid>`, per-pane window `term-<pid>`. xterm-addon-webgl with `document.fonts.load(...)`-gated init (Canvas2D doesn't honor `font-display: block`) and iOS-friendly visibility-change context recreation.
+
+## v1.9.2-ask-user-input — 2026-05-18
+
+`ask_user_input` elicitation tool. Pauses the inference loop and surfaces a prompt to the user; their response routes back as the tool result. Correlation initially via `messages.tool_calls` / `tool_results` JSON columns (later ported to `message_parts` in `v1.13.0-ai-sdk-v6`).
+
+## v1.9.1-skills — 2026-05-18
+
+Skills runtime + `/skill` slash command with autocomplete. Server-side parser, tools, `/api/skills`, and mount. Hardens `.dockerignore` to exclude `secrets/` and `data/`. Drops the type-to-confirm gate on chat delete (plain Cancel/Confirm only — per workspace convention).
+
+## v1.9.0-themes-settings — 2026-05-17
+
+Settings pane + per-project defaults + bulk archive + themes lift. `themes-v1` (18 preset palettes) ships in the same batch with a Settings picker for live theme switching.
+
+## v1.8.2-cap-hit — 2026-05-17
+
+Tool-loop cap-hit summary — when an assistant exceeds the per-turn tool budget, a sentinel `role='system'` row with `metadata.kind='cap_hit'` is inserted and a summary turn runs to give the user a coherent endpoint. Also compacts the tool-call UI rendering.
+
+## v1.8.1-agents-global — 2026-05-16
+
+Global agents (`data/AGENTS.md` bind-mounted at `/data/AGENTS.md`) + parser robustness + WS reconnect toast. Per-project `AGENTS.md` mechanism (`getAgentsForProject`) remains for *other* projects; the BooCode repo itself uses global-only to eliminate two-files-must-stay-in-sync drift.
+
+## v1.8.0-agents — 2026-05-16
+
+Tier 2 agents — `AGENTS.md` registry + per-session agent picker. Also lands mobile tab switcher, branch indicator, and the `git_status` tool.
+
+## v1.7.0-drag-drop — 2026-05-16
+
+Drag-drop + paste-as-attachment for long text in the chat input.
+
+## v1.6.0-mobile — 2026-05-16
+
+Full mobile suite. Adds `useViewport` (matchMedia breakpoints mobile <768 / tablet 768–1023 / desktop ≥1024), `useSidebarDrawer` / `useRightRailDrawer` (Context + auto-close on `useLocation().pathname` change), `useLongPress` (500ms timer, synthetic `contextmenu`), `usePullToRefresh` (80px threshold, 600ms hold), `SwipeablePaneTab` (60px close, 30px vertical bail). Mobile headers with safe-area padding, hamburger left, FolderTree right. Tap targets at `max-md:min-h-[44px] max-md:min-w-[44px]`. Raises `MAX_TOOL_LOOP_DEPTH` 5 → 15. Right-rail becomes a drawer on mobile.
+
+## v1.5.1-bootstrap — 2026-05-16
+
+Bootstrap fixes — git + ssh installed in the boocode container, Tailscale host rewrite, `/opt/projects` label correction for the create-new-project bootstrap flow.
+
+## v1.5.0-refactor-tests — 2026-05-16
+
+Refactor split (FileBrowserPane / Workspace / `runAssistantTurn`) + vitest harness + unit tests for security-critical pure functions. Scopes the `/opt` mount to `/opt/projects` (writable) plus `PROJECT_ROOT_WHITELIST=/opt` (read-only resolution for add-existing). Surfaces swallowed errors and removes dead `session_renamed` paths.
+
+## v1.4.0-fork-header — 2026-05-16
+
+Fork from message + delete message + header polish + general housekeeping.
+
+## v1.3.0-chats-projects — 2026-05-16
+
+Chats-in-sessions era. Adds force-send, `/compact`, right-rail file browser, archive/rename/Open-in-Gitea sidebar context menu, archived projects landing page, create-project bootstrap with Gitea remote setup, landing-card buttons, 1000px content cap. Dedup audit and chat archive/delete from the sidebar.
+
+## v1.2.0-multi-pane — 2026-05-15
+
+Multi-pane workspace (batch 3, T1–T8). `session_panes` schema (later replaced by `sessions.workspace_panes jsonb` in v1.12.0), `Pane` discriminated union, broker user channel + `/api/ws/user`, `file_ops` + `file_index` services, `PaneShell` / `ChatPane` / `FileBrowserPane` / `PaneTab` / `Workspace` components, `usePanes` hook, Shiki integration in `CodeBlock`. Up to 5 panes per session; default chat pane created on `POST /api/sessions`.
+
+## v1.1.0-markdown-sidebar — 2026-05-15
+
+Markdown rendering, message actions, tok/s + ctx display, AI session naming. Sidebar restructure — chats nested under projects (max 5 + view-all), live updates via WS.
+
+## v1.0.0-initial — 2026-05-14
+
+Initial commit. Skeleton of the monorepo: `apps/server` (Fastify + postgres), `apps/web` (React + Vite), basic chat loop against llama-swap.

 - **Zod** for request validation and config parsing.

 Key services:
- **`services/inference.ts`** — Streams LLM responses, executes tool loops (max depth 15, see `MAX_TOOL_LOOP_DEPTH`), flushes to DB every 500ms. Publishes `InferenceFrame` events through the broker.
- **`services/broker.ts`** — In-memory pub/sub with two channel types: per-session (message streaming) and per-user (sidebar updates). No persistence; clients reconnect on restart.
- **`services/tools.ts`** — Four read-only file tools exposed as OpenAI function-calling schemas. All file access goes through `path_guard.ts` which resolves against project root.
+- **`services/inference/`** — Public surface re-exported via `inference/index.ts`; callers import from `./services/inference/index.js` explicitly (NodeNext doesn't honor directory-index resolution). Layout: `turn.ts` (runAssistantTurn / runInference / createInferenceRunner; exports `InferenceFrame`, `InferenceContext`, `TurnArgs`, `StreamResult`, `MAX_STEPS`), `stream-phase.ts` (streamCompletion as a v1.13.1-A AI SDK adapter + executeStreamPhase), `provider.ts` (`upstreamModel(baseURL, modelId)` wrapping `createOpenAICompatible` against llama-swap), `tool-phase.ts` (executeToolPhase → returns `ToolPhaseResult`; no longer recurses into runAssistantTurn — v1.14.0 converted the recursion to an explicit while loop in turn.ts), `sentinel-summaries.ts` (runCapHitSummary + runDoomLoopSummary + runStepCapSummary + their sentinel inserters), `error-handler.ts` (handleAbortOrError, finalizeCompletion), `payload.ts` (buildMessagesPayload, loadContext, maybeFlagForCompaction, `OpenAiMessage`), `sentinels.ts` (`detectDoomLoop`, `DOOM_LOOP_THRESHOLD`, sentinel predicates), `budget.ts` (resolveToolBudget), `xml-parser.ts` (qwen3.6 XML tool-call fallback — KEEP, AI SDK doesn't handle inline-XML tool calls), `parts.ts` (parts-table write helpers: `partsFromAssistantMessage`, `partsFromToolMessage`, `insertParts` — v1.13.20 made parts the sole source of truth), `prune.ts` (v1.13.4 two-tier compaction; `selectPruneTargets` is the pure decision helper), `types.ts` (`StreamPhaseState`, `DB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_MS`). **`TurnArgs`** is the per-turn state envelope populated from loop locals each iteration; reset in `runInference` at user-message boundary. The outer loop in `runAssistantTurn` (v1.14.0) runs `while (stepNumber < effectiveCap)` where `effectiveCap = Math.min(agent.steps ?? Infinity, MAX_STEPS=200)`. Per-agent `steps:` field in AGENTS.md frontmatter. `steps: 0` means text-only (no tool execution). Step-cap hit writes a `cap_hit` sentinel so `CapHitSentinel.tsx` renders it.
+- **AI SDK v6 streamCompletion adapter** (v1.13.1-A; `services/inference/stream-phase.ts`). `streamText` is the underlying call; the BooCode layer above (executeStreamPhase, finalize, dual-write) is shape-preserved via an adapter. Five gotchas the LSP/test suite won't catch:
+  - **Abort signals are swallowed.** `streamText`'s `fullStream` iterator exits cleanly when `abortSignal` fires — no throw. Post-iteration `if (signal?.aborted) throw <AbortError>` is required; without it the row finalizes as `complete` instead of `cancelled`. Comment in stream-phase.ts pins this; don't refactor it away.
+  - **Usage lands only at stream end** via `await result.usage` (`inputTokens` / `outputTokens` v6 names → mapped to `promptTokens` / `completionTokens` for the existing onUsage callback). Mid-stream live tok/s is gone vs v1.12.2; ChatThroughput shows a single value at stream end.
+  - **Tools have NO `execute` field.** BooCode dispatches tools in tool-phase.ts, not the AI SDK loop. Only `description` + `inputSchema: jsonSchema(parameters)` — surfacing tool-call parts via `fullStream` and stopping is what we want.
+  - **`includeUsage: true` MUST be set on `createOpenAICompatible`** in `services/inference/provider.ts`. The adapter defaults it false, omitting `stream_options.include_usage` from the request body; llama-swap then never emits the usage block and `result.usage.inputTokens/outputTokens` resolve to `undefined`. Latent regression from v1.13.1-A through v1.13.7 — every assistant row in that window has `tokens_used`/`ctx_used` NULL. Don't remove this flag during refactor.
+  - **Tool-call-only turns may emit a leading `\n` text-delta** as the assistant content. `MessageList.flatten`'s `hasText` and `MessageBubble`'s `hasContent` both `.trim()` before the length check — otherwise whitespace-only content renders an empty bubble + ActionRow between every tool call (v1.13.7 fix). `payload.ts:buildMessagesPayload` also skips `status='failed'` AND complete-but-empty (no content, no tool_calls) assistant rows to avoid "Cannot have 2 or more assistant messages at the end of the list" upstream rejections after cap-hit + Continue.
+- **AI SDK ModelMessage conversion** (`toModelMessages` in stream-phase.ts). Tool messages need a `toolName` for `ToolResultPart` — BooCode's OpenAI-shape history doesn't carry it, so a forward-scan builds a `tool_call_id → toolName` map from prior assistant `tool_calls`. Tool outputs wrapped as `{ type: 'json' | 'text', value }` matching the v6 `ToolResultOutput` union. Assistant messages with reasoning emit a `ReasoningPart` first in the content array (v1.13.1-C).
+- **`experimental_repairToolCall`** (v1.13.3) wired into `streamText` to keep the stream alive when qwen3.6 emits malformed tool args. Pass-through implementation — logs the bad call and returns it unmodified; `executeToolPhase`'s existing zod-reject error path routes it to the model on the next turn.
+- **`chat_status` frame shape** (published via `broker.publishUser`) — `status: 'streaming' | 'tool_running' | 'waiting_for_input' | 'idle' | 'error'` (widened from `working|idle|error` in v1.12.1). Frontend `useChatStatus` derives `idle_warm` (<30s since idle) vs `idle_cold`. `ChatThroughput` renders inline beside `StatusDot` only when streaming or tool_running, fed by 500ms-throttled `'usage'` WS frames (`completion_tokens` + `ctx_used` + `ctx_max`). The `POST /api/chats/:id/discard_stale` endpoint exists to mark a stuck-streaming row as `failed` when the frontend's 60s no-token-activity timer (`ChatPane` content-length watcher) gives up.
+- **Boot-time stale-streaming sweep** in `apps/server/src/index.ts` after `applySchema()`: any `messages.status='streaming'` older than 5 minutes flips to `'failed'`. Logs only on non-zero count. Recovers from container restart while inference was mid-stream (v1.12.1).
+- **Periodic 60s sweeper** in `apps/server/src/index.ts` (v1.13.3 + v1.13.5). Same `setInterval` runs `sweepStaleStreaming` (marks `messages.status='streaming'` older than 5 min as `failed`, publishes `chat_status='idle'` so the UI dot drops) and `cleanupTruncations` (TTL + orphan reap of tmpfs truncation files). `app.addHook('onClose')` clears the timer. No-op when nothing to reap.
+- **`services/broker.ts`** — In-memory pub/sub with two channel types: per-session (message streaming) and per-user (sidebar updates). No persistence; clients reconnect on restart. v1.13.11: every WS publish goes through `broker.publishFrame(sessionId, frame)` or `broker.publishUserFrame(user, frame)` — both Zod-validate against `WsFrameSchema` (`types/ws-frames.ts`) and fail-closed (log + drop). `ctx.publish` / `ctx.publishUser` in inference + auto_name route through the index.ts adapter that calls publishFrame internally. The schema is duplicated byte-identical at `apps/web/src/api/ws-frames.ts`; a `ws-frames.test.ts` case enforces parity. Don't add new raw `broker.publish()` / `publishUser()` calls.
+- **`services/tools.ts`** — Tool registry (`ALL_TOOLS`, `READ_ONLY_TOOL_NAMES`, `TOOLS_BY_NAME`). Filesystem tools (view_file/list_dir/grep/find_files) go through three guard layers: `path_guard.ts` (workspace scope), `secret_guard.ts` (filename deny list), `url_guard.ts` (SSRF/private-IP block for web_fetch). v1.11.8+ web tools (`web_search`, `web_fetch`) are opt-in per chat via `session.web_search_enabled` (resolved with `project.default_web_search_enabled` fallback) and filtered out of the LLM's tool schema when false. v1.13.5 truncation: when a tool slice cuts content, `services/truncate.ts` stashes the full text on tmpfs at `BOOCODE_TRUNCATION_DIR` (default `/tmp/boocode-truncations`, 0o700) keyed by an opaque `tr_<12 base32 chars>` id, and the `view_truncated_output(id)` tool retrieves it. 5MB cap (matches `view_file`'s `MAX_FILE_BYTES`), 7-day TTL, reaped by the periodic sweeper. Tmpfs path means container restart loses retrieval — acceptable, the model usually has moved on.
+- **`services/compaction.ts`** + **`services/model-context.ts`** — v1.11.0 anchored rolling summary (single `summary=true` assistant row per chat, supersedes itself on each compaction). Triggered when `chats.needs_compaction` is set after an inference turn exceeds `usable(ctx_max) = floor(0.85 × ctx_max)` (v1.13.9 opencode-pattern early trigger; was `ctx_max - 20k` pre-v1.13.9, which gave only 7.6% headroom at 262k and 0 budget for ≤20k contexts). **`ctx_max` comes from `model-context.getModelContext()` which fetches `${LLAMA_SWAP_URL}/upstream/<model>/props`** — NOT from `parsed.timings.n_ctx` (the stream completion's `timings` doesn't carry n_ctx; that read was dead code until v1.11.3 ripped it out). First inferences after a boocode boot may have `ctx_max=NULL` if llama-swap hasn't loaded the model yet; negative cache TTL is 60s, recovers on next turn. v1.13.6: `buildHeadPayload` embeds `reasoning_parts` as a `<reasoning>...</reasoning>` prose prefix on the assistant `content` (OpenAI wire shape has no structured reasoning field; the summarizer reads text). Standalone tag when content is empty (tool-call-only turn). `buildHeadPayload` + `OpenAiMessage` exported for test access — keep them exported.
+- **`services/system-prompt.ts`** — `buildSystemPrompt` is the string-returning shim; `buildSystemPromptWithFingerprint` is the canonical impl returning `{prompt, fingerprint, drift}`. v1.13.8 instrumentation: SHA-256 of the assembled prefix is logged per `buildMessagesPayload` call (msg `prefix-fingerprint`, level=info); a `Map<sessionId, lastHash>` observer fires `prefix-drift` (level=warn) on hash change with a field-level `changed_inputs` diff. Smoke proved the prefix is byte-stable across turns in steady-state — the originally-planned `system_prompt_cache` DB table was dropped as redundant against the v1.12.0 input-layer mtime caches (BOOCHAT.md here + AGENTS.md global+per-project in `agents.ts:safeStat`).
+- **`services/inference/budget.ts`** — tool-call budgets: `BUDGET_READ_ONLY = 30`, `BUDGET_NON_READ_ONLY = 10` (forward-looking; no write tools yet), `BUDGET_NO_AGENT = 30` (v1.13.7; was 15 — every tool in `ALL_TOOLS` is read-only today, so no-agent mode shares the read-only-agent cap). Per-agent `max_tool_calls` from AGENTS.md frontmatter overrides.
+- **`messages_with_parts` view** (v1.13.1-B; `schema.sql`). Read sites that need `tool_calls` / `tool_results` / `reasoning_parts` SELECT from this view, NOT `messages` directly. v1.13.20 dropped the legacy `messages.tool_calls` / `messages.tool_results` JSON columns; the view now reads parts-only subselects. Writes target `message_parts` exclusively via `insertParts` (or via the helpers `partsFromAssistantMessage` / `partsFromToolMessage`). The `Message` wire type still carries `tool_calls?` / `tool_results?` because the view synthesizes them from parts — frontend reads are unchanged. Shapes: `tool_calls jsonb[]`, `tool_results jsonb` single object, `reasoning_parts jsonb[]` of `{text}`. If you ever need to UPDATE a message and return its full Message shape, do a two-step UPDATE returning `id` followed by SELECT from the view — RETURNING off the bare `messages` table no longer carries the tool fields.
 - **`services/file_ops.ts`** — Shared file operation implementations used by both inference tools and HTTP routes.
 - **`services/auto_name.ts`** — Non-streaming LLM call to generate 4-word session titles after first assistant reply.

 Route registration: all routes registered in `index.ts` via `register*Routes(app, sql, ...)` functions. Routes are in `routes/*.ts`.

+- Write-capable coding agent. Separate Fastify server at port 9502, same docker network (`boocode_net`).
+- **Workspace dependency on `@boocode/server`**: imports `createInferenceRunner`, `createBroker`, `ALL_TOOLS`, `appendMcpTools` from the server's compiled `dist/`. apps/server's `package.json` has an `exports` map with `types` conditions for NodeNext resolution. apps/server must build FIRST (Dockerfile builds server → coder).

+- Write tools (`edit_file`, `create_file`, `delete_file`, `apply_pending`, `rewind`) queue in `pending_changes` table. Nothing hits disk until `apply_pending` is called. `write_guard.ts` validates paths (resolve + prefix-check, no realpath since files may not exist for creates).
+- Frontend: NOT a separate SPA. BooCoder is a `'coder'` pane type within BooChat's SPA (`apps/web/`). `CoderPane.tsx` in `apps/web/src/components/panes/`. API requests go through `/api/coder/*` proxy (Vite dev + Fastify production) which rewrites to `http://boocoder:3000/api/*`. WS connects directly to `:9502`.

+Sessions hold 1–5 panes (chat / empty / placeholder terminal+agent). v1.12.1 moved pane state from per-device localStorage to `sessions.workspace_panes jsonb` for cross-device sync. `PATCH /api/sessions/:id/workspace` persists; `session_workspace_updated` user-channel frame broadcasts to every device watching the session. `useWorkspacePanes` debounces saves 300ms and dedups echoes by JSON string. Legacy localStorage key `boocode.workspace.panes.<sessionId>` is read once on first hydrate (one-time seed-and-delete migration when server is empty but localStorage has data); no longer written. The deprecated `session_panes` table was dropped. `validatePanes(validChatIds)` prunes panes referencing chat IDs that no longer exist (called by `useSessionChats` after the chat list fetch lands).

 ## Workflow

 - Sam reviews all diffs and commits manually. Do not commit unless explicitly asked.
+- Per-batch docs live under `openspec/changes/<slug>/{proposal,tasks,design}.md`. Already-shipped batches are snapshots in `openspec/changes/archived/`. New batches follow the proposal+tasks shape; see `openspec/README.md` for the convention.
+- Tag naming: `vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-slug` (e.g. `v1.13.13-ws-publish`). Monotonic per minor — the slug describes the batch's content so the tag name alone is enough to recall what shipped. No letter suffixes (`-a`/`-b`), no pseudo-ranges (`v1.11.x`), no slug-only sub-versions sharing a number (`v1.13.15-tools` + `-openspec` + `-agentlint` — split into sequential patches instead).
+- `CHANGELOG.md` is the per-tag release log, most-recent on top. When a new tag is created, add a `## <tag> — <YYYY-MM-DD>` section with a 3–6 sentence paragraph summarizing what shipped, drawn from the commit body. Cross-reference other tags by name when the batch builds on, fixes, or pairs with prior work (e.g. "pairs with `v1.13.12-ws-schemas`", "fixed in `v1.13.5-stability-bundle`"). No nested bullets — one paragraph.
 - Deploy: `cd /opt/boocode && docker compose up --build -d` (or `docker compose build --no-cache boocode && docker compose up -d` if you suspect a layer-cache issue).
 - Git push to Gitea: `GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i /opt/boocode/secrets/boocode_gitea -o IdentitiesOnly=yes" git push origin <branch>`. The default agent identity is rejected; the in-repo deploy key (`secrets/`, gitignored) is the working one. Transient `Connection reset by peer` retries cleanly after `sleep 5`.
 - Don't accumulate `.bak-*` files. Clean them up in the same batch or immediately after merge.
+- DB-integration tests opt-in via env var: `DATABASE_URL='postgres://boocode:devpass@localhost:5500/boocode' pnpm -C apps/server test`. Host port is 5500 (mapped from `boocode_db:5432`); password is `${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}` from `.env` (`devpass`), NOT the literal in `.env`'s `DATABASE_URL=postgres://boocode:Ketchup1479@boocode_db:5432/...` line. Pattern: `describe.runIf(!!process.env.DATABASE_URL)(...)` with a `beforeAll` that applies the schema via `sql.unsafe(readFileSync(schemaPath))`. Tests skip cleanly when var is unset. `tool_cost_stats.test.ts` is the reference.
+- Host-side smoke endpoint: `curl http://100.114.205.53:9500/api/...`. The boocode container's port mapping binds to the Tailscale IP, not `0.0.0.0`, so `localhost:9500` doesn't work from the host shell. Same for booterm at `:9501`.
 - Fastify global JSON parser tolerates empty bodies (overridden in `index.ts`); bodyless POSTs (archive, unarchive, stop) work without setting `Content-Type` tricks on the client.
 - Event dedup discipline: for any mutation the server publishes via `broker.publishUser`, do NOT add a local `sessionEvents.emit(...)` after the API call — `useUserEvents` forwards the WS frame onto the bus. Frontend mutation handlers must be idempotent (dedup by id, no-op on already-present).
 - `node:20-*` base images ship a `node` user at uid/gid 1000 — delete it (`userdel`/`groupdel` on debian, `deluser`/`delgroup` on alpine) before adding samkintop at 1000.

 - `/opt/boolab` hosts a working sibling BooCode terminal at `boocode.indifferentketchup.com`. Useful for visual side-by-side comparison on the same iPhone when debugging booterm rendering. Boolab uses Tailwind v3 (`@tailwind base`); boocode uses v4 — many subtle build differences. Don't assume parity.
 - booterm SSHs to the host as `samkintop@100.114.205.53` (the Tailscale IP). The hostname `ubuntu-homelab` (shown in the bash prompt after login) does NOT resolve from inside the container — only the host's `/etc/hosts` knows it. Override via `BOOTERM_SSH_HOST` / `BOOTERM_SSH_USER` env vars in docker-compose if you ever move the shell to a different machine.
 - codecontext sidecar lives at `/opt/boocode/codecontext/`. Sidecar HTTP API at `http://codecontext:8080/v1/<tool_name>` over the `boocode_net` bridge (no host port). BooCode wrappers in `apps/server/src/services/tools/codecontext/`. The `.codecontextignore.template` documents recommended ignore patterns; users copy and adapt to project root manually.
+- codecontext fork at `/opt/forks/codecontext/` — separate git repo (branch `boocode-ts`), pushed via the same boocode_gitea SSH key to `indifferentketchup/codecontext`. Build: `go build ./...`. Test: `go test ./...`. Docker rebuild: `docker compose build --no-cache codecontext`.
+- Go binary: `/snap/go/current/bin/go` (not on PATH by default). Use `export PATH=$PATH:/snap/go/current/bin` or full path for Go commands.
 - `os/exec` child supervisors must explicitly call `child.Wait()` in a goroutine and `os.Exit` on child death. `Signal(0)` returns nil on zombies and is NOT a liveness check. Without `Wait()`, docker's `restart: unless-stopped` policy never fires because the parent stays alive. The `codecontext/shim.go` implementation is the reference pattern.

 - TypeScript strict mode. Both apps share `tsconfig.base.json`.
 - Server uses NodeNext module resolution (`.js` extensions in imports).
 - Discriminated unions for type narrowing: `Pane` (by `kind`), `SessionEvent` (by `type`), `InferenceFrame` (by `type`).
+- **Adding a new WS frame type** requires updating BOTH the server's `InferenceFrame` (loose `type:` union + optional fields in `services/inference/turn.ts`) AND the web `WsFrame` (strict discriminated union in `apps/web/src/api/types.ts`). Server publish is permissive; the frontend type is the wire-format gate. The `'usage'` frame added in v1.12.2 needed both sides; missing the web side silently drops the frame at JSON-parse.
 - shadcn primitives live in `components/ui/`. Don't modify them unless adding a new primitive.
 - `inferLanguage()` from `lib/attachments.ts` is the canonical file-extension-to-language map. `CodeBlock.tsx` keeps its own `LANG_MAP` because it also resolves markdown fence names.
 - Two UI event buses: `hooks/sessionEvents.ts` for DB-state events (chat_created, session_updated); `lib/events.ts` for ephemeral UI (`sendToTerminal`, `terminalsRegistry`). Don't merge — different subscriber lifecycles.
 - `vite.config.ts` proxy entries are order-sensitive: more-specific prefixes (`/api/term`, `/ws/term`) must come BEFORE `/api`.
 - Mobile pane URL sync (`Session.tsx`): the `?pane=<id>` effect resets `activePaneIdx` whenever `panes` changes. New-pane creation on mobile must push `?pane=` atomically — `addPaneAndSwitch` is the wrapper that does this. `addSplitPane` returns the new pane id for callers.
 - xterm.js v5 uses canvas rendering — browser doesn't see xterm's selection; the native right-click menu has no working Copy for terminal text. App keybindings (`Cmd/Ctrl-C`, `Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-C`) are the path.
+- **New tools** live in their own `services/<name>.ts` file (see `web_search.ts`, `web_fetch.ts`) — exports a pure `executeFoo(input, ...deps)` for direct test access plus a `ToolDef` wrapper that `loadConfig()`s its real dependencies. Register the ToolDef in `tools.ts` `ALL_TOOLS` (and `READ_ONLY_TOOL_NAMES` if applicable). Inject `fetcher: typeof fetch = fetch` rather than `vi.spyOn(globalThis, 'fetch')` — cleanup is simpler and the production call site stays unchanged.
+- **Sentinels** are `role='system'` rows with structured `metadata.kind` (`cap_hit`, `doom_loop`). UI-only — `buildMessagesPayload` strips them via `isAnySentinel` so the LLM never sees them. A new kind requires arms in `MessageMetadata` in BOTH `apps/server/src/types/api.ts` AND `apps/web/src/api/types.ts`, plus a render branch in `apps/web/src/components/MessageBubble.tsx`.
+- **ReadableStream test stubs** use `pull()` (not `start()`) so chunks are produced lazily — `start()` enqueues everything and calls `controller.close()` before the consumer reads, so a subsequent `reader.cancel()` finds the stream already closed and the `cancel()` callback never fires. Also provide MORE chunks than the test will consume so the source stays in 'readable' state when cancel runs (e.g. cap test reads ~6 chunks, stub provides 10).
+- Tool-name whitelists must derive from `ALL_TOOLS` in `services/tools.ts`, never hardcoded. `services/agents.ts` `ALL_TOOL_NAMES` had this drift class until v1.12 — same pattern applies to any future tool-aware code.
+- Agent registry lives at `data/AGENTS.md` (global, bind-mounted at `/data/AGENTS.md`). No per-project `AGENTS.md` in this repo — removed in v1.12 to eliminate the two-files-must-stay-in-sync drift. The `getAgentsForProject` per-project override mechanism remains for *other* projects.
+- MCP stdio transport uses newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON), NOT LSP-style `Content-Length` headers. The `codecontext/shim.go` framing implementation is the reference; per the MCP spec (modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/server/transports).
+- **Workspace dependency pattern** (`apps/coder` → `@boocode/server`): the consuming package adds `"@boocode/server": "workspace:*"` in `package.json`. The provider's `package.json` needs `exports` with `types` + `default` conditions per subpath: `"./inference": { "types": "./dist/.../index.d.ts", "default": "./dist/.../index.js" }`. Without the `types` condition, NodeNext resolution can't find `.d.ts` files and tsc fails with "Cannot find module" in the consumer.
+- **Docker build order for workspace deps**: the Dockerfile must `COPY` + `RUN pnpm build` the provider app BEFORE the consumer app. `apps/coder/Dockerfile` builds `apps/server` first, then `apps/coder`.
