v2.0.3: CLI client + human inbox + cost tracking + Boomerang new_task

Phase 7 of v2.0. BooCoder gains a terminal-driven UX and subagent
isolation primitive.

CLI (src/cli.ts): standalone entry point for terminal use.
- boocode run "task" [--agent x] [--model y] — create + stream output
- boocode ls [--state x] — formatted task table
- boocode attach <id> — WS stream of running task
- boocode send <id> "msg" — follow-up message to task session
Connects to BOOCODER_URL (default http://100.114.205.53:9502).

Human inbox (routes/inbox.ts): GET /api/inbox (failed/blocked tasks),
POST /api/inbox/:id/retry (reset to pending for re-dispatch).

Cost tracking: dispatcher aggregates tokens_used from all messages in
the task's session after completion, stores in tasks.cost_tokens.
GET /api/stats/costs?group_by=project|agent|day for aggregation.

Boomerang subagent isolation (3 new tools):
- new_task: creates child task with parent_task_id linkage, runs in
  fresh isolated session. Orchestrator sees only output_summary.
- list_tasks: query child tasks of current parent
- check_task_status: read task state + output_summary

The orchestrator pattern: an agent with tools: [new_task, list_tasks,
check_task_status] can ONLY dispatch — can't read files or MCP. This
is the Roo Code Boomerang Tasks capability-restriction principle.

 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.
+
 ## Known limitations
 
 - Codecontext re-analyzes the project graph on each call against a different target_dir. First call to a new project may take 1-3 seconds; subsequent calls to the same project return in ~10ms.

-# 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.
 
-## Capabilities
+## You can
 
-- 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)
+- 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
 
-## Constraints
+## You cannot
 
-- 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)
+- 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
+
+## 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.

Without `Wait()`, docker's `restart: unless-stopped` policy never fires because the parent stays alive. The `codecontext/shim.go` implementation is the reference pattern.

 - 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`.

-The remaining strangler-fig final step (drop `messages.tool_calls` + `tool_results` columns) is still pending under its old `v1.13.2` working name; will get a new tag slug when scoped.
-
-## In flight / next (v1.13.x cleanup line)
-
-Five more single-dispatch batches before the strangler-fig closes. Each ships independently with its own smoke and rollback surface. **Do not fold.** Order is locked:
-
-### v1.13.8 — system-prompt prefix stability verify-and-measure (REFRAMED, 2026-05-22)
-
-**Original plan:** add a `system_prompt_cache` DB table keyed by `(agent_id, project_id, skills_version)`, mtime-invalidated.
-
-**Why reframed:** recon disproved the premise. `apps/server/src/services/system-prompt.ts:buildSystemPrompt` already runs over mtime-cached inputs at the file layer:
-
-- BOOCHAT.md / BOOCODER.md cached in `system-prompt.ts:25` (`cachedGuidance`, keyed by mtime)
-- global + per-project AGENTS.md cached in `agents.ts:245` (`safeStat` pattern, 60s TTL)
-- `session.system_prompt` / `project.default_system_prompt` are DB scalars (byte-stable until edited)
-- BASE_SYSTEM_PROMPT is a hardcoded template with `${projectPath}` interpolation
-
-Output assembly is a microsecond pure-string concat with no I/O. Skills aren't in the prefix (runtime discovery via `skill_find`). Tools live in a separate request body field, alpha-sorted by v1.13.3. **In theory the prefix is already byte-stable across turns; nothing has measured it.**
-
-**New scope — instrumentation only, no cache:**
-
-1. SHA-256 fingerprint of `buildSystemPrompt`'s output logged per turn at `level=info`, msg `prefix-fingerprint`, with project_id / agent_id / session_id / prefix_hash / prefix_length / mtime fields.
-2. Module-level `Map<sessionId, lastHash>` observer. On hash change for a known session → emit `prefix-drift` at `level=warn` with `prev_hash`, `new_hash`, and a field-level `changed_inputs` diff.
-3. Unit-level byte-stability assertion in `system-prompt.test.ts`: two consecutive `buildSystemPrompt` calls with the same inputs return byte-identical strings.
-
-**Decision criterion:** smoke 5 turns in a fresh session. 5 identical hashes + zero drift logs → close v1.13.8 as no-op, **drop the DB cache plan permanently**, move to v1.13.9. If drift surfaces → characterize the failure mode in a follow-up batch (the answer may not be a cache at all).
-
-**Doctrine:** matches the v1.13.6 audit pattern. Don't add infrastructure without a proven cache miss. The v1.12.0 mtime caches at the input layer plus alpha tool ordering at the request body layer already address the load-bearing cache-stability surfaces.
-
-**Dispatch brief:** `handoff_v1.13.8_prefix_verify.md`.
-
-**Estimated:** ~95 LoC (system-prompt.ts + small `getAgentsMtimes` accessor in agents.ts + 3 new tests).
-
-### v1.13.9 — compaction overflow trigger formula
-
-opencode pattern: `0.85 * ctx_max` early trigger (not at 100% saturation). Reduces tail-loss risk and gives compaction a safer window. Tiny change but tied to v1.13.4's tier logic — sequence matters.
-
-**Lift source:** `anomalyco/opencode` `session/overflow.ts`.
-
-**Estimated:** ~30 LoC.
-
-### v1.13.10 — per-tool token cost accounting
-
-Rolling average per tool, surfaced in AgentPicker tooltip + agent-pick decisions. Backend tracks `(tool_name, prompt_tokens_in, completion_tokens_out)` per call; surfaces a 100-call rolling mean. Frontend reads it for tool-cost hints. **Depends on v1.13.7's `includeUsage` fix** — without real token numbers in DB rows, the rolling average is empty.
-
-**Estimated:** ~250 LoC.
-
-### v1.13.11 — WebSocket frame typing
-
-Zod schemas validated both ends. Catches the recurring class of bug that drove the 2026-05-21 debugging spike (silent protocol drift). Upfront work that pays back every time the protocol changes. `chat_status`, `usage`, `parts_appended`, `session_workspace_updated`, `tool_running` — every frame gets a Zod schema, every send/receive site validates.
-
-**Estimated:** ~300 LoC.
-
-### v1.13.12 — skills audit pass (NEW, 2026-05-22)
-
-**Goal:** apply the rules→recipes split (per Codeminer42 activation-gap data: plain skills invoke 6% in clean multi-turn, `CLAUDE.md`/`AGENTS.md` is 100% present) to BooCode's 7 vendored v1.12 skills. Sort each into: (a) move to `AGENTS.md` as always-true rule, (b) keep as recipe invoked via `/skill <name>`, (c) move bulky context into `references/` flat subdirectory inside the skill, (d) delete (Claude already does it reliably).
-
-**Scope:**
-
-1. **Audit each of the 7 vendored skills against the 4-way split.** Most workflow-rule content ("always do X before Y", "never do Z") moves to `AGENTS.md` since it should be 100% present. Recipe content ("here's how to scaffold a component", "here's the release checklist") stays as skill, gets `context: fork` if heavy.
-1. **Adopt Anthropic best-practices conventions** for any skills that remain after audit: gerund names (`scaffolding-components`, not `component-helper`), SKILL.md ≤500 lines, references one level deep, third-person imperative voice, MCP tool references in `ServerName:tool_name` format, no Windows-style paths, no time-sensitive info, consistent terminology, no "voodoo constants."
-1. **Run each remaining skill through the 4-step validation protocol** from `mgechev/skills-best-practices` (Discovery → Logic → Edge Case → Architecture Refinement) using a fresh Claude chat per step. Prompts are paste-ready; ~10 minutes per skill.
-1. **Install `skillgrade` on Sam's host** (`npm i -g skillgrade`). For each remaining skill, write a minimal `eval.yaml` with 2–3 tasks and run `skillgrade --smoke` (5 trials, ~5 min) to confirm the skill triggers when expected and produces correct output. **Likely outcome: some skills show 0–20% trigger rate — confirms they belong in AGENTS.md, not as skills.**
-1. **Document the rules→recipes split as a BooCode convention** in `BOOCODER.md` / `BOOCHAT.md`. Future-proofs against re-adding workflow rules as skills.

-**Lift sources:**
-
-- `blog.codeminer42.com/stop-putting-best-practices-in-skills/` — empirical 6%/33%/66%/100% invocation-rate data with Vercel-style multi-turn methodology. The activation-gap framing.

-- `platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/best-practices` — canonical Anthropic standard. 500-line ceiling, gerund naming, progressive disclosure patterns, MCP tool reference format, verification checklist.
-
-**Dependencies:** none (the 7 v1.12 skills already exist; this is an audit pass on shipped material). Can ship at any point in the v1.13.x line.
-
-**Estimated:** zero code changes, ~one evening of audit work, plus skillgrade install. Per-skill eval.yaml authoring is ~30 min per skill including the 4-step validation. Total roughly 5–6 hours of focused work for all 7 skills.
-
-### v1.13.2 — drop legacy columns (final phase of strangler-fig)
-
-**Wait at least one week of production traffic on v1.13.1 before shipping.** The dual-write is rollback insurance. Drop the columns and that rollback is gone.
-
-**Verification query before shipping:**
-
-```sql
-SELECT
-  COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE m.tool_calls IS NOT NULL AND NOT EXISTS (
-    SELECT 1 FROM message_parts p WHERE p.message_id = m.id AND p.kind = 'tool_call'
-  )) AS missing_tool_call_parts,
-  COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE m.tool_results IS NOT NULL AND NOT EXISTS (
-    SELECT 1 FROM message_parts p WHERE p.message_id = m.id AND p.kind = 'tool_result'
-  )) AS missing_tool_result_parts
-FROM messages m
-WHERE m.created_at > '2026-05-22'::timestamptz;
-```
-
-Both columns must read 0.
-
-**Scope (~150 LoC, mostly deletions):**
-
-1. Remove dual-write from every v1.13.0 site: `tool-phase.ts` (3 sites), `finalizeCompletion`, `skills.ts` (2 sites), `messages.ts` answer flow, `chats.ts` (fork). Keep only the parts write.
-1. Simplify `messages_with_parts` view — drop COALESCE fallbacks since legacy columns are about to disappear.
-1. `ALTER TABLE messages DROP COLUMN tool_calls, DROP COLUMN tool_results`.
-1. Remove `tool_calls`/`tool_results` fields from `Message` API type. API boundary unchanged (frontend already reads parts-derived values).
-1. Drop the stale `messages_status_check` cleanup DO block from v1.12.1 schema if still present.
-1. Update test fixtures in `inference.test.ts` and `compaction.test.ts` to construct parts instead of inline `tool_calls: null, tool_results: null` literals. ~30 fixture rewrites.
-
-After v1.13.2 ships, tag the umbrella `v1.13` on the same commit (or on -C — Sam's call).
-
-**Shipped as `v1.13.20-drop-legacy-cols` on 2026-05-23 with umbrella `v1.13` tagged on the same commit.** Slug renamed at ship time (the "v1.13.2" planning name predated the patch-monotonic-per-minor convention). Calendar wait dropped — single-user self-hosted, no production rollback constraint. Recon caught 2 additional dual-write sites beyond the roadmap's 8 (chats.ts fork-clone + extras in tool-phase.ts) and an additional fixture file (`tool_cost_stats.test.ts`) with a direct legacy-column INSERT. Adversarial review caught a `RETURNING tool_calls, tool_results` clause in the `discard_stale` endpoint that the green test suite missed — fixed by two-step UPDATE-then-SELECT-from-view so the parts-synthesized fields keep flowing on the response. Type-pruning step on `Message.tool_calls` / `Message.tool_results` skipped (the view still populates them from parts; preserving the API contract was simpler than ripping it).
+The v1.13.x line is closed. Three batches still sit in the **In flight** column conceptually but none of them are v1.13.x scope: **live-smoke of v1.13.19** (manual browser exercise of the artifact panes — five minutes, independent), and the two v1.14 branches below. Independent siblings (`v1.14.x-mcp`, `v1.14.x-html`, `v1.16`) can ship in any order relative to v1.14 itself.

+### Numbering and scope-revision discipline during v1.13.x (2026-05-23)
+
+The v1.13.x line ran 21 batches; planned-vs-shipped numbering diverged for half of them, and three batches had material scope revisions mid-design. Pattern that emerged and is worth carrying forward:
+
+- **Patch numbers are assigned at ship time, not in planning.** The proposal/openspec folder uses a planning slug (e.g. `v1.14.x-html-artifact-panes`); the final tag uses a concrete patch monotonic-per-minor (e.g. `v1.13.19-html-artifact-panes`). Avoids the "we said v1.13.8 but actually shipped seventh" confusion that ate two retrospective passes on the roadmap.
+- **Scope-revise the proposal before dispatching.** v1.13.19-html-artifact-panes flipped mid-design from "auto-bias to HTML for >100 lines" to "Markdown default, HTML on request" — the proposal got rewritten before recon. Far cheaper than discovering the wrong approach in implementation. The "brainstorm before code" discipline.
+- **Recon-first dispatch finds 25–30% more sites than the roadmap inventory.** v1.13.20 recon caught 2 extra dual-write sites (chats.ts fork-clone + 2 in tool-phase.ts) and an extra fixture file. v1.13.19 recon corrected which `Pane` type to extend. Skipping recon to save a step doesn't.
+- **Adversarial reviews catch what test suites miss.** v1.13.19 reviewer caught silent error-promotion in `openInPane`; v1.13.20 reviewer caught a `RETURNING tool_calls, tool_results` clause that crashes in production but slips past green tests. Both are routine code-reviewer dispatches; both saved a same-day hotfix. **Two-stage review (spec then quality) is non-negotiable when shipping fast.**
+- **Calendar-gated waits are production-safety hedges that don't apply here.** v1.13.20 originally said "wait one week of production traffic on v1.13.1 before dropping columns." Sam called it out: single-user self-hosted, no rollback constraint, code-level audit + DB COUNT query is the actual safety check. Dropped the wait. Don't ritualize production-grade hedges in a single-user codebase.

+# v1.14.0-outer-loop — design decisions
+
+Answers to the dispatch's blocking questions, resolved 2026-05-23.
+
+## D1. Step cap — what replaces MAX_TOOL_LOOP_DEPTH?
+
+`MAX_TOOL_LOOP_DEPTH` never existed — no hard recursion depth guard was ever in the codebase. Safety came from budget (50 tool calls) + doom-loop (3 identical calls).
+
+**Decision:** introduce `MAX_STEPS = 200` as a hard ceiling. Per-agent cap via `agent.steps` is the primary knob. Resolution: `effectiveCap = Math.min(agent.steps ?? Infinity, MAX_STEPS)`.
+
+**Rationale:** Sam reports BooChat gets stuck at 50 tool calls (the budget) too often. The step cap should be generous — 200 is 4x the current de-facto ceiling. Budget (50 tool calls total across all steps) remains a separate concern and is not changed in this batch.
+
+Note: "step" ≠ "tool call." One step = one stream iteration that may produce multiple parallel tool calls. Budget counts individual tool calls; step cap counts iterations. At 200 steps with average 1-2 tool calls per step, the budget (50) will fire well before the step cap in most scenarios. The step cap is a safety ceiling for cases where the model makes many 1-tool-call iterations.
+
+## D2. step_finish — emit or not?
+
+**Decision:** No `step_finish` part. The next `step_start` (or assistant message completion) implicitly ends the previous step.
+
+**Rationale:** opencode only emits `step_start`. Less noise in parts, simpler code. If UI ever needs step durations, compute from the timestamps of consecutive `step_start` parts.
+
+## D3. Step-cap hit — sentinel or quiet?
+
+**Decision:** Write a sentinel summary on step-cap hit. Visible to the user in chat, same as budget-exhaustion's `runCapHitSummary`.
+
+**Implementation:** Extend `runCapHitSummary` to accept a `reason: 'budget' | 'step_cap'` parameter (or add a parallel `runStepCapSummary`). The sentinel metadata kind stays `cap_hit` — frontend `CapHitSentinel` component already renders it. The sentinel's text distinguishes the two cases ("Tool budget exhausted" vs "Step limit reached").
+
+## D4. agent.steps = 0
+
+**Decision:** `steps: 0` means "no tool calls allowed." The loop body never executes. The assistant can only respond with text.
+
+**Implementation:** When `effectiveCap === 0`, skip the loop entirely. Stream the first assistant turn (text-only), finalize, return. The model receives no tools in the request payload when `steps: 0` (or equivalently, tools are passed but the loop never enters the tool-execution branch).
+
+Actually, cleaner: `steps: 0` means the loop cap is 0. The while condition `stepNumber < effectiveCap` is false on the first check. The stream phase still runs (the model produces a text response), but if it emits tool calls they're ignored and the turn finalizes as text-only. This may produce a confusing response if the model's text references tool results it never got — but `steps: 0` is an explicit constraint the agent author chose. Document in AGENTS.md parser validation.
+
+## D5. Synthesis success terminates the loop?
+
+**Decision:** Yes. `break` out of the loop after synthesis success. Preserves current behavior (synthesis replaces the recursive call; no further iterations).
+
+**Rationale:** The synthesis pass produces a self-contained summary turn. Continuing the loop after synthesis would let the model issue more tool calls on top of a synthesis summary, which is semantically wrong — the synthesis IS the final answer for that tool call batch.
+
+## D6. executeToolPhase return struct
+
+The recursive call at `tool-phase.ts:342` is currently the last thing `executeToolPhase` does (after creating the next assistant row). After the conversion, `executeToolPhase` returns a struct the loop body reads:
+
+```typescript
+interface ToolPhaseResult {
+  action: 'continue' | 'paused' | 'synthesis_done';
+  toolCallCount: number;
+  toolCalls: ToolCall[];
+  nextAssistantId: string | null;
+}
+```
+
+- `continue` → loop continues; `nextAssistantId` is the new assistant message's UUID.
+- `paused` → user-input or grant pause; loop breaks. `nextAssistantId` is null.
+- `synthesis_done` → synthesis succeeded; loop breaks. `nextAssistantId` is null (synthesis wrote its own parts).
+
+The loop body then:
+1. Updates `toolsUsed += result.toolCallCount`
+2. Appends `result.toolCalls` to `recentToolCalls`
+3. Sets `assistantMessageId = result.nextAssistantId` for the next iteration
+4. Increments `stepNumber`
+5. Checks `result.action` — if not `continue`, breaks.
+
+## D7. Budget vs steps interaction
+
+Budget counts **individual tool calls** across the entire turn. Steps counts **loop iterations**. They are orthogonal:
+
+- Budget fires when `toolsUsed >= resolveToolBudget(agent)` (currently 50 for read-only). Checked at the top of each iteration.
+- Step cap fires when `stepNumber >= effectiveCap`. Checked by the loop condition.
+
+Both produce a sentinel summary. A turn can be terminated by whichever fires first. In practice, budget (50 tool calls) fires before step cap (200 steps) unless the model produces many 0-tool-call iterations (which shouldn't happen — 0 tool calls means non-tool finish, which exits the loop via the `break` path).
