v2.0.0-beta: write tools, pending-changes queue, inference loop, API routes

Phase 2 of v2.0. BooCoder is now a functional write-capable chatbot.

Write-path guard: resolveWritePath() uses resolve() (no realpath — files may
not exist for creates) + prefix-check + secret-file deny list (.env, *.pem,
id_rsa*, etc.). 23 unit tests cover traversal attacks.

Pending-changes service: queueEdit/Create/Delete → applyOne/All →
rejectOne/All → rewindOne. Edit diffs stored as JSON {old, new}. All writes
queue before touching disk; apply re-validates the path guard.

5 write tools: edit_file, create_file, delete_file, apply_pending, rewind.
Registered alongside 25 read-only tools from BooChat (30 total, alpha-sorted).
Write tools use a module-level inference context for sql+sessionId injection.

Inference loop via workspace dependency: apps/coder imports
createInferenceRunner, createBroker, ALL_TOOLS from @boocode/server (dist/).
apps/server gains declaration: true + exports map with typed subpath entries.
No code duplication — one inference engine shared by both apps.

API routes: POST /api/sessions/:id/messages (user msg → inference), POST stop,
GET/POST pending-changes CRUD (5 endpoints), WebSocket session streaming.

Dockerfile updated to build apps/server first (coder depends on its .d.ts).
Health endpoint reports tool count: {"ok":true,"db":true,"tools":30}.

-# 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.
-
-## Convention: rules vs recipes
-
-Always-true rules live here, in `BOOCHAT.md`, and in `CLAUDE.md` (100% present each turn). On-demand recipes live in `/data/skills/` (roughly 6% invoke rate in multi-turn per Codeminer42, 2026). Don't file workflow rules as skills — they misfire. See Anthropic agent-skills best-practices (platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/best-practices).

+## 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.

   - **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.

-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.
-- `mgechev/skills-best-practices` (25 stars, MIT) — 4-step validation protocol with paste-ready prompts. Directory structure conventions.
-- `mgechev/skillgrade` (132 stars, MIT) — agent-agnostic skill eval framework. `eval.yaml` task+grader schema. Smoke/reliable/regression presets.
-- `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).

+# v1.14.0-outer-loop — explicit outer agent loop
+
+Replace the ad-hoc `executeToolPhase → runAssistantTurn` recursion with an explicit `while` loop. A **step** is one stream-and-tool-execute iteration; a step can contain multiple parallel tool calls. The loop terminates on non-tool finish OR step-cap hit OR doom-loop OR budget exhaustion OR abort OR synthesis success.
+
+## Why
+
+The current recursion works but has two problems: (a) stack depth grows linearly with tool iterations — 50 nested async frames is fragile, (b) there's no explicit step counter, so there's no per-agent step cap and no step-boundary instrumentation. BooChat also gets stuck at 50 tool calls (the budget ceiling) more often than it should — the new `MAX_STEPS = 200` hard ceiling lets the loop run much longer before the step cap fires, while the existing budget (50 tool calls) remains a separate concern.
+
+## Recon findings (verified 2026-05-23)
+
+- `runAssistantTurn` at `turn.ts:144-147` is the recursive entry. Returns `Promise<void>`.
+- `executeToolPhase` at `tool-phase.ts:89-96` calls back into `runAssistantTurn` at `tool-phase.ts:342`.
+- Recursion terminates on: non-tool finish, budget exhaustion (`args.toolsUsed >= budget`), doom-loop (3 identical calls via `detectDoomLoop`), user-input pause (ask_user_input / request_read_access), synthesis success, stream error, abort.
+- **No existing hard recursion depth limit** — `MAX_TOOL_LOOP_DEPTH` does not exist. Safety comes from budget (50) + doom-loop (3 identical).
+- `TurnArgs` defined in `turn.ts:127-141`, not `types.ts`. Fields: `sessionId`, `chatId`, `assistantMessageId`, `toolsUsed`, `recentToolCalls`, `signal`. All mutable fields are threaded through the recursive call.
+- Synthesis pipeline (`synthesisPipeline.ts`) is a branch in `executeToolPhase` — if synthesis succeeds, recursion is skipped.
+- `step_start` already in the `message_parts.kind` CHECK constraint. No schema change needed.
+- `agents.ts` does NOT currently parse a `steps` field. Needs adding to `ParsedFrontmatter`.
+
+## Scope
+
+### S1. Outer loop in `turn.ts`
+
+Convert the recursive chain to a `while (stepNumber < effectiveCap)` loop:
+
+```
+let stepNumber = 0
+while (stepNumber < effectiveCap) {
+  // doom-loop check
+  // budget check
+  // emit step_start part
+  // stream phase (executeStreamPhase)
+  // if no tool calls → finalize, break
+  // tool phase (executeToolPhase — now returns, doesn't recurse)
+  // if paused (user input / grant) → break
+  // if synthesis succeeded → break
+  // create next assistant message row
+  // increment stepNumber, update toolsUsed, append recentToolCalls
+}
+// if stepNumber >= effectiveCap → sentinel summary
+```
+
+`effectiveCap = Math.min(agent.steps ?? Infinity, MAX_STEPS)` where `MAX_STEPS = 200`.
+
+### S2. `executeToolPhase` becomes non-recursive
+
+Remove the `runAssistantTurn` call at `tool-phase.ts:342`. Instead, return a result indicating what happened: `{action: 'continue' | 'paused' | 'synthesis_done', toolsUsed, recentToolCalls, nextAssistantId}`. The caller (the while loop) uses the action to decide whether to continue or break.
+
+### S3. `agent.steps` field
+
+`agents.ts:ParsedFrontmatter` gains `steps?: number`. Parser extracts it from YAML frontmatter (integer ≥ 0). `steps: 0` means "no tool calls allowed" — loop body never executes; assistant responds text-only.
+
+### S4. Step-boundary events
+
+At the top of each loop iteration, emit a `step_start` part with payload `{step_number, started_at}`. Uses `insertParts` into the current assistant message. No `step_finish` — the next `step_start` (or message completion) implicitly ends the previous step.
+
+### S5. Doom-loop migration
+
+`detectDoomLoop` check moves from `runAssistantTurn` (top of function, pre-stream) to the top of the while-loop body (same logical position). Same predicate, same threshold (3). Same `runDoomLoopSummary` call. Control flow changes from `return` (unwinding recursion) to `break` (exiting loop).
+
+### S6. Step-cap sentinel
+
+When `stepNumber >= effectiveCap`, write a sentinel summary like the existing `runCapHitSummary`. Reuse `runCapHitSummary` with a reason parameter distinguishing "budget exhaustion" from "step cap hit", or create a parallel `runStepCapSummary`. The sentinel makes the cap visible in chat.
+
+### S7. AGENTS.md updates
+
+Add `steps:` to each agent in `data/AGENTS.md`:
+- Refactorer: `steps: 5`
+- Architect: `steps: 20`
+- All others: unset (infinity — bounded only by `MAX_STEPS = 200`)
+
+### S8. Tests
+
+New test file `apps/server/src/services/__tests__/outer-loop.test.ts` covering:
+- Clean finish (stream returns non-tool, loop exits after 1 iteration)
+- Step-cap hit (loop exits at cap, sentinel written)
+- Doom-loop break (3 identical calls, sentinel written)
+- Budget exhaustion (toolsUsed >= budget, cap-hit sentinel written)
+- Abort mid-step (signal fires, loop exits)
+- `steps: 0` edge case (no loop iterations, text-only response)
+- Synthesis success (loop exits after synthesis)
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No frontend changes. `step_start` parts surface via `messages_with_parts` automatically; UI doesn't render them in v1.14.
+- No `output_schema` / `exit_expression` / `execution_strategy` AGENTS.md fields.
+- No per-step snapshot for revert (v2.0 BooCoder concern).
+- No changes to budget constants (50 / 10 / 50). That's a separate concern.
+- No `repairToolCall` changes.
+- No compaction changes.
+
+## Hard rules
+
+- No git commit, push. Sam commits.
+- Backup before editing.
+- TS strict, no `any`.
+- Doom-loop threshold stays at 3.
+- 332+ existing tests still pass + new outer-loop tests.
+
+## Files expected to touch
+
+- `apps/server/src/services/inference/turn.ts` — recursion → loop
+- `apps/server/src/services/inference/tool-phase.ts` — remove recursive call, return result struct
+- `apps/server/src/services/inference/sentinel-summaries.ts` — step-cap sentinel (or extend cap-hit)
+- `apps/server/src/services/agents.ts` — parse `steps` field
+- `data/AGENTS.md` — add `steps:` to Refactorer + Architect
+- `apps/server/src/services/__tests__/outer-loop.test.ts` — NEW
+- `apps/server/src/services/inference/index.ts` — re-export if new types needed
+
+## Estimate
+
+~300 LoC net (turn.ts refactor + tool-phase return struct + agents parser + tests). The conversion is structural, not behavioral — every exit path is preserved, just expressed as loop control flow instead of recursion unwinding.

+- [ ] On synthesis success: return `{action: 'synthesis_done', toolCallCount, toolCalls: result.toolCalls, nextAssistantId: null}`
+- [ ] `npx tsc --noEmit -p apps/server` will FAIL here (turn.ts still expects void) — expected, fixed in B5
+
+## B5 — turn.ts: recursion → while loop
+
+- [ ] Add `MAX_STEPS = 200` constant
+- [ ] Resolve `effectiveCap = Math.min(agent?.steps ?? Infinity, MAX_STEPS)` at the top of `runAssistantTurn`
+- [ ] Convert `runAssistantTurn` body into a `while (stepNumber < effectiveCap)` loop:
+  - Top of loop: doom-loop check (move from current position; `break` instead of `return`)
+  - Top of loop: budget check (move from current position; `break` instead of `return`, but still call `runCapHitSummary` before break)
+  - Emit `step_start` part via `insertParts` with payload `{step_number: stepNumber, started_at: new Date().toISOString()}`
+  - Call `executeStreamPhase`
+  - If no tool calls → `finalizeCompletion`, `break`
+  - Call `executeToolPhase` (now returns `ToolPhaseResult`)
+  - If `result.action !== 'continue'` → `break`
+  - Update `toolsUsed += result.toolCallCount`
+  - Update `recentToolCalls = [...recentToolCalls, ...result.toolCalls]`
+  - Update `assistantMessageId = result.nextAssistantId!`
+  - Increment `stepNumber`
+- [ ] After loop: if `stepNumber >= effectiveCap` → call step-cap sentinel (B6)
+- [ ] `effectiveCap === 0` edge case: the while condition is immediately false; stream the first turn text-only (the stream phase at the top of the function runs once before the loop — OR handle this by structuring the loop as do-while, OR handle by pre-checking and skipping tools from the request). Pick the cleanest approach.
+- [ ] Remove `TurnArgs` from the module export if it's no longer threaded through recursion — OR keep it and populate from loop locals. (Design note: `TurnArgs` is still used by `executeStreamPhase`, `executeToolPhase`, `sentinel-summaries.ts`, `error-handler.ts`. Keep the interface; populate from loop locals each iteration.)
+- [ ] `npx tsc --noEmit -p apps/server` clean
+- [ ] `pnpm -C apps/server test` — all existing tests pass
+
+## B6 — sentinel-summaries.ts: step-cap sentinel
+
+- [ ] Add `runStepCapSummary` (or extend `runCapHitSummary` with a `reason` param)
+- [ ] Write a sentinel with `metadata.kind = 'cap_hit'` (same as budget) so `CapHitSentinel` UI renders it
+- [ ] Sentinel text distinguishes "Step limit reached (N steps)" from "Tool budget exhausted (N calls)"
+- [ ] Called from the post-loop check in turn.ts (B5)
+
+## B7 — Tests
+
+- [ ] NEW `apps/server/src/services/__tests__/outer-loop.test.ts`
+- [ ] Test: clean finish — stream returns no tool calls, loop exits after 1 step
+- [ ] Test: step-cap hit — mock agent with `steps: 2`, model always returns tool calls, loop exits at 2, sentinel written
+- [ ] Test: doom-loop — 3 identical tool calls, sentinel written, loop breaks
+- [ ] Test: budget exhaustion — toolsUsed >= budget, cap-hit sentinel written
+- [ ] Test: `steps: 0` — no loop iterations, text-only response
+- [ ] Test: synthesis success — loop breaks after synthesis

+# v1.14.1-mcp-poc — design decisions
+
+## D1. Transport: Streamable HTTP (not stdio)
+
+Context7 is a remote service at `https://mcp.context7.com/mcp`. Uses the MCP Streamable HTTP transport. The `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` TypeScript client supports this via `StreamableHTTPClientTransport`. No stdio needed.
+
+## D2. Tool name prefixing
+
+MCP tools get a `context7_` prefix to avoid collisions with BooCode's native tools. Context7's tools are `resolve-library-id` and `query-docs` — these become `context7_resolve-library-id` and `context7_query-docs`. The prefix is stripped before calling the MCP server's `tools/call`.
+
+## D3. Read-only invariant guard
+
+BooChat is read-only through v1.x. The MCP client rejects any tool whose `annotations?.readOnly === false`. Tools with `readOnly: true` or no annotations are accepted. Context7's tools are all read-only (they query documentation — no write side effects). Fail-open on missing annotations is a deliberate choice: most MCP servers don't set annotations yet, and rejecting all un-annotated tools would make the feature useless. The guard catches explicitly-declared write tools.
+
+## D4. Zod inputSchema for MCP tools
+
+MCP tools come with a JSON Schema `inputSchema`. BooCode's `ToolDef` has both a Zod `inputSchema` (for server-side validation) and a `jsonSchema` (for the LLM's tool schema). For MCP tools:
+- `jsonSchema` is built directly from the MCP tool's `inputSchema` (it's already JSON Schema).
+- `inputSchema` uses `z.record(z.unknown())` as a pass-through — the MCP server does its own validation. Double-validating with a generated Zod schema from JSON Schema adds complexity with no value for a PoC.
+
+## D5. Tool registration: append + re-sort (not lazy-init)
+
+The simplest approach: keep `ALL_TOOLS` as the native tool array. Add an `appendMcpTools(tools: ToolDef[])` function that pushes MCP tools, re-sorts alphabetically, and rebuilds `TOOLS_BY_NAME` and `READ_ONLY_TOOL_NAMES`. Called once at startup after MCP init. More invasive approaches (lazy-init, factory function) change the import shape for every consumer. Mutation-at-startup is ugly but contained to one call site and matches the existing alpha-sort-at-module-level pattern.
+
+## D6. No per-session toggle
+
+Web tools have `session.web_search_enabled`. MCP tools do NOT get a session toggle in v1.14.1. If configured via env var, MCP tools are always available. Per-session MCP control is a v1.15 concern (when multiple MCP servers and the permission ruleset land together).
+
+## D7. Graceful degradation
+
+MCP server down at startup → log warning, expose zero MCP tools, BooCode functions normally. MCP server down mid-session (tool call fails) → the `execute` wrapper catches the error and returns `{error: true, output: "MCP server unreachable"}` — the model sees the error and can self-correct (use native tools instead).
+
+## D8. Result content extraction
+
+MCP `tools/call` returns `{content: ContentBlock[]}` where each block is `{type: 'text', text: string}` or `{type: 'resource', ...}`. For the PoC:
+- Text blocks: join with `\n`.
+- Resource blocks: serialize as JSON (the model can read structured data).
+- Empty content: return `"(no output)"`.
+- `isError: true` in the response: return `{error: true, output: joinedContent}`.

+# v1.14.1-mcp-poc — single-server MCP client proof-of-concept
+
+Validate the MCP-client loop end-to-end against one real MCP server (Context7) before committing to the full opencode `mcp/index.ts` port at v1.15. Small, throwaway-if-needed.
+
+## Why
+
+BooCode's tool registry (`ALL_TOOLS` in `tools.ts`) is static — tools are hardcoded TypeScript modules. MCP is the protocol for dynamic tool discovery. Wiring one real MCP server end-to-end proves: tool-discovery → tool-list → tool-call → result-render → context-budget accounting all hold. If Context7 works, any MCP server will work via the same plumbing.
+
+## Scope
+
+### S1. Install `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`
+
+New dependency in `apps/server/package.json`. The official TypeScript MCP client SDK (MIT). Provides `Client`, `StreamableHTTPClientTransport`, tool-call/result types.
+
+### S2. New service: `apps/server/src/services/mcp-client.ts`
+
+Singleton MCP client that:
+1. Connects to Context7 at `MCP_CONTEXT7_URL` (default `https://mcp.context7.com/mcp`) via Streamable HTTP transport.
+2. Optional `MCP_CONTEXT7_API_KEY` env var passed as a header.
+3. On `initialize()`: calls `tools/list`, wraps each MCP tool as a `ToolDef`, prefixes names with `context7_` to avoid collisions with BooCode's native tools.
+4. **Read-only invariant guard:** rejects any tool whose `annotations?.readOnly` is explicitly `false`. Tools with `readOnly: true` or no `annotations` field are accepted (fail-open on read-only, since most MCP tools don't set annotations yet — Context7's tools don't).
+5. `callTool(name, args)` → calls the MCP server's `tools/call` endpoint and returns the result content.
+6. `getTools(): ToolDef[]` → returns the discovered tools wrapped as BooCode `ToolDef` objects.
+7. Graceful degradation: if the MCP server is unreachable at startup, log a warning and expose zero MCP tools. BooCode functions normally with its native tools.
+
+### S3. Config extension
+
+`apps/server/src/config.ts` gains two optional env vars:
+- `MCP_CONTEXT7_URL` (string, default `https://mcp.context7.com/mcp`)
+- `MCP_CONTEXT7_API_KEY` (string, optional)
+
+### S4. Tool registration
+
+`apps/server/src/services/tools.ts` — after building `ALL_TOOLS` from native tools, append MCP-discovered tools from `mcpClient.getTools()`. The alpha-sort at the end of `ALL_TOOLS` construction covers both native and MCP tools. `TOOLS_BY_NAME` map includes MCP tools.
+
+MCP tools are registered with `category: 'read_only'` (per the read-only invariant guard in S2).
+
+### S5. Tool dispatch
+
+`apps/server/src/services/inference/tool-phase.ts` `executeToolCall` already dispatches via `TOOLS_BY_NAME[toolName].execute(...)`. MCP tools' `execute` function calls `mcpClient.callTool(name, args)` — the dispatch is transparent to the rest of the inference loop. No changes to `executeToolCall` needed.
+
+### S6. MCP tool result → BooCode format
+
+MCP `tools/call` returns `{ content: [{type: 'text', text: string}, ...] }`. BooCode's `executeToolCall` expects a string or JSON-serializable output. The `execute` wrapper in the ToolDef extracts `content[0].text` (or joins multiple content blocks with `\n`). If the MCP server returns an error, the wrapper returns `{error: true, output: errorMessage}` matching BooCode's existing error-result shape.
+
+### S7. Startup initialization
+
+`apps/server/src/index.ts` — after `applySchema()` and before route registration, call `mcpClient.initialize()`. If `MCP_CONTEXT7_URL` is not set (or empty), skip initialization entirely (MCP is opt-in). Log the number of discovered tools on success.
+
+Tool registration (S4) must happen AFTER MCP initialization, since `getTools()` returns the discovered tools. Current flow: `ALL_TOOLS` is a module-level constant. This needs to change to a lazy-init pattern — either a function that returns the tool list (called once at startup after MCP init), or a mutable array that MCP tools get appended to during startup.
+
+### S8. Agent tool whitelist interaction
+
+MCP tools are prefixed `context7_*`. Existing agents' `tools:` whitelists don't include MCP tool names — so MCP tools are only available to the default agent (no agent selected, which gets ALL_TOOLS). To make MCP tools available to specific agents, their AGENTS.md `tools:` list would need to include `context7_*` names. For the PoC, this is fine — the default agent (most common) gets MCP tools.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No stdio transport. Context7 is HTTP-only.
+- No OAuth. Context7 uses an API key header.
+- No multiple servers. One hardcoded server (Context7).
+- No per-agent MCP server allow/deny. All agents that don't have a `tools:` whitelist get MCP tools.
+- No per-session MCP toggle. If configured, MCP tools are always available.
+- No UI changes. MCP tools surface in the tool list the model sees; results render as normal tool-result parts.
+- No schema changes. MCP state is in-memory only.
+
+## Hard rules
+
+- No git commit/push. Sam commits.
+- Read-only invariant: reject any MCP tool with `readOnly: false`.
+- Graceful degradation: MCP server down → zero MCP tools, BooCode works normally.
+- One new dep only: `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`.
+- Alpha-sort of ALL_TOOLS preserved (v1.13.3 prompt-cache invariant).
+
+## Files expected to touch
+
+- `apps/server/package.json` — add `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`
+- `pnpm-lock.yaml` — auto-updated
+- `apps/server/src/config.ts` — `MCP_CONTEXT7_URL`, `MCP_CONTEXT7_API_KEY`
+- `apps/server/src/services/mcp-client.ts` — NEW, ~100 lines
+- `apps/server/src/services/tools.ts` — lazy-init or append MCP tools to ALL_TOOLS
+- `apps/server/src/index.ts` — call `mcpClient.initialize()` at startup
+- `apps/server/src/services/__tests__/mcp-client.test.ts` — NEW, unit tests for tool wrapping + read-only guard
+
+## Estimate
+
+~150 LoC. The MCP SDK handles the protocol; BooCode's job is wrapping discovered tools as ToolDefs and routing calls through the SDK client.
+
+## Smoke plan
+
+1. Set `MCP_CONTEXT7_URL=https://mcp.context7.com/mcp` in `.env` (or docker-compose env).
+2. Restart boocode container.
+3. Check logs: should see "mcp: initialized Context7, discovered N tools" (or similar).
+4. Open a chat with no agent selected. Send "What does the `streamText` function do in the AI SDK? Use context7 to look it up."
+5. Confirm: model calls `context7_resolve-library-id` then `context7_query-docs` (or whatever Context7's tool names are after prefixing).
+6. Confirm: tool results render normally in the chat.
+7. Without `MCP_CONTEXT7_URL` set: restart, confirm BooCode starts normally with zero MCP tools.

+# v1.15.0-mcp-multi — design decisions
+
+## D1. Config file path
+
+`/data/mcp.json` (alongside `AGENTS.md` at `/data/AGENTS.md`). Both are bind-mounted from the host's `data/` directory. Override via `MCP_CONFIG_PATH` env var.
+
+File missing = no MCP (opt-in by file presence, not by env var). Simpler than the v1.14.1 approach of always-defaulting a URL.
+
+## D2. Config schema matches opencode's `mcpServers` shape
+
+opencode uses `~/.opencode/config.json` with a `mcpServers` key. BooCode uses `mcp.json` with the same `mcpServers` key so server entries are copy-pasteable. Property names match: `type`, `url`, `command`, `args`, `env`, `headers`. BooCode adds `enabled` (boolean toggle per server, default true) which opencode doesn't have — harmless extra key.
+
+## D3. Transport types: streamableHttp + stdio only
+
+- **streamableHttp**: For remote servers (Context7, future cloud MCP services). Uses `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`'s `StreamableHTTPClientTransport`.
+- **stdio**: For local subprocess servers (codecontext, future local tools). Uses `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`'s `StdioClientTransport` (spawns child process, NDJSON framing over stdin/stdout).
+- **SSE**: Skipped. Streamable HTTP supersedes SSE per the MCP spec (May 2025 protocol update). If a legacy server requires SSE, it can be added later.
+
+## D4. Tool name prefixing: `<serverName>_<toolName>`
+
+Generalizes v1.14.1's `context7_<name>` pattern. Server name comes from the config key (e.g. `"context7"`, `"codecontext"`). Collisions between servers with the same name are impossible (config keys are unique). Collisions between an MCP tool and a native tool are possible if someone names a server entry the same as a native tool prefix — but that's a user-configuration error, not a code bug.
+
+## D5. Per-agent glob patterns: last-match-wins
+
+AGENTS.md `tools:` field already supports exact-match arrays. Globs extend the same field:
+
+```yaml
+tools: [view_file, grep, context7_*]
+```
+
+Evaluation: for each tool in `ALL_TOOLS`, scan the pattern list left-to-right. A `!` prefix denies. Last matching pattern wins. This matches the roadmap's "wildcard rule matcher" language.
+
+Examples:
+- `[*]` — all tools (same as omitting `tools:` entirely)
+- `[*, !web_*]` — all tools except web
+- `[view_file, grep, context7_*]` — only view_file, grep, and all Context7 tools
+- `[*]` on Architect + `[view_file]` on Prompt Builder — each agent gets its intended scope
+
+Globs use a simple `minimatch`-style check: `*` matches any characters. No `?` or `**` — tool names are flat (no path separators).
+
+## D6. No DB tables in v1.15
+
+The roadmap listed `permissions`, `agent_permissions`, `session_permissions`, `mcp_servers` tables. All deferred to v2.0:
+
+- **Permission tables**: Enterprise multi-user pattern. BooChat is single-user behind Authelia. The read-only invariant guard is the BooChat-era defense. Formal permission rulesets land when BooCoder adds write tools.
+- **`mcp_servers` table**: In-memory registry is sufficient. No need to persist server state to DB when the config file is the source of truth and tools are re-discovered on every boot.
+
+## D7. Stdio child lifecycle
+
+- Spawn on `initialize()`. Persistent connection for server lifetime (not per-call).
+- On child exit (unexpected): mark server unavailable, log error. Do NOT auto-restart. BooCode continues with remaining servers.
+- On BooCode shutdown (`app.addHook('onClose')`): send SIGTERM to all stdio children. Wait up to 5s, then SIGKILL.
+- On ENOENT (command not found): skip server with a warning. Matches the graceful-degradation pattern from v1.14.1.
+
+## D8. v1.14.1 env vars removed
+
+`MCP_CONTEXT7_URL` and `MCP_CONTEXT7_API_KEY` are deleted from `config.ts`. They're superseded by the JSON config file's `context7` entry. The PoC was explicitly designed as throwaway.
+
+Migration path for anyone who had the env vars set: add a `data/mcp.json` with the Context7 entry. The CHANGELOG entry will note this.

+# v1.15.0-mcp-multi — multi-server MCP client + stdio transport + config file
+
+Generalize the v1.14.1 single-server Context7 PoC into a multi-server MCP client. Add stdio transport (for local subprocess MCP servers like codecontext). JSON config file matching opencode's schema shape. Per-agent tool glob patterns in AGENTS.md frontmatter.
+
+## Why
+
+v1.14.1 proved the MCP loop works end-to-end but is hardcoded to one server (Context7) via env vars. Real value comes from multiple servers: Context7 for docs, codecontext re-wired as a proper MCP server (stdio), future local tools. The config shape should match opencode's so Sam can copy `mcp` blocks between the two without translation.
+
+## Scope
+
+### S1. JSON config file for MCP servers
+
+New file at `/data/mcp.json` (bind-mounted like `AGENTS.md`). Env var `MCP_CONFIG_PATH` points to it (default `/data/mcp.json`).
+
+Schema (matching opencode's shape):
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "context7": {
+      "type": "streamableHttp",
+      "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp",
+      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "optional-key" },
+      "enabled": true
+    },
+    "codecontext": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "/usr/local/bin/codecontext",
+      "args": ["--mcp"],
+      "env": { "WORKSPACE": "/opt" },
+      "enabled": false
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Zod-validated at startup. Unknown keys silently ignored (forward-compat). Each server entry has:
+- `type`: `"streamableHttp"` | `"stdio"` (SSE deferred — Streamable HTTP supersedes it per the MCP spec)
+- `url` (HTTP) or `command` + `args` + `env` (stdio)
+- `headers` (HTTP, optional) — for API keys
+- `enabled` (boolean, default true)
+
+### S2. Multi-server MCP client
+
+Refactor `mcp-client.ts` from a singleton to a registry of named MCP clients. On startup:
+1. Read `/data/mcp.json` (or path from `MCP_CONFIG_PATH`)
+2. For each enabled server: create a Client + transport, connect, discover tools via `tools/list`
+3. Wrap tools with `<server-name>_<tool-name>` prefix (generalizes the `context7_` pattern)
+4. Apply read-only invariant guard per-tool (reject `readOnlyHint: false`)
+5. Append all MCP tools to `ALL_TOOLS` in a single `appendMcpTools()` call
+6. Per-server graceful degradation: one server failing doesn't block others
+
+Expose: `getMcpServers(): McpServerStatus[]` for debug/status endpoint, `callTool(prefixedName, args)` routed to the correct server by prefix.
+
+### S3. Stdio transport
+
+For `type: "stdio"` servers: spawn a subprocess via `child_process.spawn(command, args, {env, stdio: 'pipe'})`. Use `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`'s `StdioClientTransport` (or implement the NDJSON framing ourselves — the SDK should have it). The subprocess runs for the lifetime of the BooCode server (persistent connection, not per-call spawn).
+
+Child lifecycle:
+- Spawn on initialize. If spawn fails, log warn, skip server (graceful degradation).
+- On child exit: log error, mark server as unavailable. Do NOT restart automatically (v1.15 keeps it simple; auto-restart is a v2.0 concern).
+- On BooCode shutdown (`app.addHook('onClose')`): kill child processes.
+
+### S4. Per-agent tool glob patterns in AGENTS.md
+
+Currently `tools:` in AGENTS.md frontmatter is an exact-match whitelist (array of tool names). Extend to support glob patterns via a lightweight matcher:
+- `context7_*` — all tools from the context7 server
+- `view_*` — all tools starting with `view_`
+- `!web_*` — exclude web tools (deny pattern)
+- Plain names (`grep`, `view_file`) work as before (exact match)
+
+Evaluation order: for each tool in `ALL_TOOLS`, check if it matches any pattern in the agent's `tools:` list. A `!` prefix means exclude. Last-match-wins.
+
+Parser change in `agents.ts`: when validating `tools:`, don't reject unknown names if they contain `*` (glob patterns can't be validated against the current tool list since MCP tools are discovered at runtime). Exact names are still validated.
+
+### S5. Remove v1.14.1 env-var config
+
+Delete `MCP_CONTEXT7_URL` and `MCP_CONTEXT7_API_KEY` from `config.ts`. They're superseded by the JSON config file. The v1.14.1 PoC is throwaway-by-design (proposal said "throwaway-if-needed").
+
+### S6. Read-only invariant preserved
+
+BooChat's read-only guarantee stays: every MCP tool with `readOnlyHint: false` is rejected at discovery. This applies globally, not per-server. Config has no `allowWriteTools` flag — that's a v2.0 BooCoder concern.
+
+## Deferred to v2.0
+
+- **Permission ruleset tables** (`permissions`, `agent_permissions`, `session_permissions`). Enterprise pattern that doesn't serve until BooCoder adds write tools. The read-only invariant guard is the BooChat-era defense-in-depth.
+- **OAuth / Dynamic Client Registration.** Needs secret storage primitive first.
+- **SSE transport.** Streamable HTTP supersedes it per the MCP spec. SSE is a legacy fallback.
+- **Per-session MCP toggle.** No `session.mcp_enabled` column in v1.15. MCP servers are globally configured; agent tool globs are the scoping mechanism.
+- **`mcp_servers` DB table.** In-memory registry is sufficient for single-user. DB tracking deferred to v2.0.
+- **codecontext re-wiring to MCP.** Separate batch after v1.15 proves stdio transport works.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No frontend changes. MCP tools surface via the existing tool registry; results render as normal tool-result parts.
+- No schema changes. No new DB tables or columns.
+- No changes to the inference loop (v1.14.0 outer loop unchanged).
+- No changes to `executeToolCall` dispatch (transparent via ToolDef.execute).
+
+## Hard rules
+
+- No git commit/push. Sam commits.
+- Read-only invariant: reject any MCP tool with `readOnlyHint: false`.
+- Graceful degradation: any server down → that server's tools unavailable, rest unaffected.
+- Alpha-sort of ALL_TOOLS preserved.
+- One new dep only: none (MCP SDK already installed from v1.14.1).
+- 348+ existing tests still pass.
+
+## Files expected to touch
+
+- `apps/server/src/services/mcp-client.ts` — refactor from singleton to multi-server registry (~200→300 lines)
+- `apps/server/src/services/tools.ts` — no changes expected (appendMcpTools already works for multiple tools)
+- `apps/server/src/config.ts` — replace MCP env vars with `MCP_CONFIG_PATH`
+- `apps/server/src/index.ts` — startup reads config file, iterates servers
+- `apps/server/src/services/agents.ts` — glob pattern support in `tools:` whitelist
+- `data/mcp.json` — NEW, example config with Context7 (disabled by default, enabled via edit)
+- `apps/server/src/services/__tests__/mcp-client.test.ts` — update for multi-server, add stdio transport tests
+- `apps/server/src/services/__tests__/agents-glob.test.ts` — NEW, glob pattern matching tests
+
+## Estimate
+
+~350 LoC. The MCP SDK handles both transports; BooCode's job is config parsing, multi-server lifecycle, and glob matching.
+
+## Smoke plan
+
+1. Create `/data/mcp.json` with Context7 enabled. Restart. Confirm tools discovered + logged.
+2. Send a chat asking about library docs. Confirm `context7_*` tools called + results rendered.
+3. Disable Context7 in config (`"enabled": false`). Restart. Confirm zero MCP tools.
+4. Add a dummy stdio server entry pointing to `/bin/cat` (will fail). Confirm graceful degradation: Context7 works, dummy fails with a logged warning.
+5. Add `tools: [context7_*]` to the Architect agent in AGENTS.md. Confirm Architect sees only Context7 tools (via AgentPicker or by chatting with Architect selected).
+6. Stop boocode, confirm child processes are killed (no orphans).

+# v2.0 BooCoder — Implementation Plan
+
+Ordered execution plan across all 4 sub-versions. Each phase is dispatchable as a single batch. Phases 1-4 are sequential (each builds on the prior); phases within a sub-version can sometimes be parallelized.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Foundation (v2.0.0-alpha)
+
+**Goal:** Standalone BooCoder container boots, connects to DB, serves a health endpoint. No inference yet.
+
+**Estimated:** ~200 LoC
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **Clone lift sources** (prep, no code)
+   - `cd /opt/forks && git clone agent-hub, plandex, opencode, qodo-ai/agents`
+   - Read agent-hub schema, plandex pending-changes, opencode permission/evaluate.ts
+   - Read RA.Aid README for three-stage pattern
+
+2. **Create `apps/coder/` skeleton**
+   - `apps/coder/package.json` (Fastify, postgres, zod — same deps as `apps/server`)
+   - `apps/coder/tsconfig.json` (extends base, NodeNext)
+   - `apps/coder/src/index.ts` (Fastify boot, health endpoint, DB connect)
+   - `apps/coder/src/config.ts` (Zod config schema — DATABASE_URL, PORT, HOST, LLAMA_SWAP_URL, CONTAINER_GUIDANCE_FILE)
+   - `apps/coder/src/db.ts` (postgres connection, schema apply — shared with `apps/server` or fresh)
+
+3. **Create Dockerfile**
+   - `apps/coder/Dockerfile` — Node 20 bookworm-slim (matches booterm for glibc compat with node-pty later)
+   - Mount: `/opt:/opt:rw`
+   - COPY built server + BOOCODER.md
+
+4. **docker-compose.yml** — add `boocoder` service
+   - Port `100.114.205.53:9502:3000`
+   - Environment: `DATABASE_URL`, `LLAMA_SWAP_URL`, `CONTAINER_GUIDANCE_FILE=/app/BOOCODER.md`
+   - Network: `boocode_net`
+   - Depends on: `boocode_db`
+
+5. **DB rename** — `boocode_db` → `boochat_db`
+   - `ALTER DATABASE boocode RENAME TO boochat;` (one-time, run manually)
+   - Update `DATABASE_URL` in all docker-compose services
+   - Update volume name mapping
+   - Verify all 3 services boot against renamed DB
+
+6. **Schema migration** — new tables in `apps/coder/src/schema.sql`
+   - `pending_changes` table
+   - `tasks` table
+   - `available_agents` table
+   - `human_inbox` view
+   - Applied idempotently on boot (same pattern as BooChat's `applySchema()`)
+
+7. **BOOCODER.md** — container guidance file
+   - Write tools enabled (unlike BOOCHAT.md which declares read-only)
+   - Pending-changes queue discipline
+   - Path-guard rules
+
+### Verification
+- `docker compose up --build -d` — boocoder container starts
+- `curl http://100.114.205.53:9502/api/health` — 200 OK
+- `psql` confirms new tables exist
+- BooChat + BooTerm unaffected (still boot, still serve)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Write Tools + Pending Changes (v2.0.0-beta)
+
+**Goal:** BooCoder can chat with the LLM, the LLM can call write tools, changes queue in `pending_changes`, user can apply/reject.
+
+**Estimated:** ~400 LoC
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **Write-path guard** (`apps/coder/src/services/write_guard.ts`)
+   - `resolveWritePath(projectRoot, filePath): string` — `resolve()` + prefix check (no realpath — file may not exist for creates)
+   - Deny list: inherit from BooChat's `secret_guard.ts` (`.env`, `*.pem`, `id_rsa*`, etc.)
+   - Fuzz tests: `../` escape, symlink outside root, null bytes, non-existent parent dirs
+
+2. **Pending-changes service** (`apps/coder/src/services/pending_changes.ts`)
+   - `queueEdit(session_id, task_id, file_path, old_string, new_string): PendingChange` — computes unified diff, validates write path, INSERTs
+   - `queueCreate(session_id, task_id, file_path, content): PendingChange`
+   - `queueDelete(session_id, task_id, file_path): PendingChange`
+   - `applyAll(session_id): ApplyResult[]` — re-validates each path, writes to disk, marks `status='applied'`
+   - `applyOne(change_id): ApplyResult`
+   - `rejectOne(change_id): void` — marks `status='rejected'`
+   - `rejectAll(session_id): void`
+   - `rewindOne(change_id): void` — inverse-diff, writes to disk, marks `status='reverted'`
+   - `listPending(session_id): PendingChange[]`
+
+3. **Write tools** (`apps/coder/src/services/tools/`)
+   - `edit_file.ts` — input: `{file_path, old_string, new_string}`, calls `queueEdit`
+   - `create_file.ts` — input: `{file_path, content}`, calls `queueCreate`
+   - `delete_file.ts` — input: `{file_path}`, calls `queueDelete`
+   - `apply_pending.ts` — calls `applyAll` for current session
+   - `rewind.ts` — input: `{change_id}` or `{all: true}`, calls `rewindOne`/`rewindAll`
+
+4. **Tool registry** — register write tools alongside ALL read tools from BooChat
+   - Import BooChat's read tools (view_file, grep, etc.) + codecontext tools
+   - Add the 5 write tools
+   - Alpha-sort the combined list
+
+5. **Inference loop** — port from BooChat or share via workspace package
+   - Copy `apps/server/src/services/inference/` into `apps/coder/src/services/inference/` (or symlink via pnpm workspace)
+   - The outer loop (v1.14) runs unchanged — write tools are just ToolDefs with `execute()` functions
+   - Compaction, doom-loop, step cap all carry forward
+
+6. **API routes**
+   - `POST /api/sessions/:id/messages` — same as BooChat (creates user + assistant rows, enqueues inference)
+   - `GET /api/sessions/:id/pending` — returns pending changes for the session
+   - `POST /api/sessions/:id/pending/apply` — applies all pending
+   - `POST /api/pending/:id/apply` — applies one
+   - `POST /api/pending/:id/reject` — rejects one
+   - `POST /api/pending/:id/rewind` — reverts one
+   - WebSocket streaming (same protocol as BooChat)
+
+### Verification
+- Send a chat asking BooCoder to edit a file
+- LLM calls `edit_file` → change queued in `pending_changes`
+- `GET /api/sessions/:id/pending` shows the queued change with diff
+- `POST /api/pending/:id/apply` writes to disk
+- `POST /api/pending/:id/rewind` reverts it
+- Fuzz test: attempt traversal via `edit_file("../../etc/passwd", ...)` → rejected by write_guard
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Frontend: Diff Pane + Chat (v2.0.0)
+
+**Goal:** Browser UI at `coder.indifferentketchup.com` with chat pane + diff pane side by side.
+
+**Estimated:** ~200 LoC
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **Create `apps/coder/web/`** — React + Vite SPA (same stack as BooChat's `apps/web/`)
+   - Copy BooChat's Vite config, Tailwind v4 setup, font pipeline
+   - Shared components: `MarkdownRenderer`, `CodeBlock`, `Button`, `Input`
+   - New app shell: sidebar (sessions) + workspace (panes)
+
+2. **Chat pane** — reuse BooChat's ChatPane/MessageBubble pattern
+   - Same WS streaming, same `useSessionStream` hook, same message rendering
+   - ActionRow includes tool-call rendering for write tools
+
+3. **Diff pane** — NEW (`apps/coder/web/src/components/DiffPane.tsx`)
+   - Fetches `GET /api/sessions/:id/pending`
+   - Lists pending changes: file path + operation badge (create/edit/delete)
+   - Per-change: syntax-highlighted unified diff view (use Shiki or a diff-specific highlighter)
+   - Buttons: Approve / Reject per change, Approve All / Reject All
+   - Real-time updates via WS frame (`pending_change_added`, `pending_change_applied`, etc.)
+
+4. **Workspace splitter** — chat left, diff right (or configurable)
+
+5. **Caddy route** — `coder.indifferentketchup.com` → boocoder:9502
+   - Authelia gating (same as BooChat)
+
+### Verification
+- Open `coder.indifferentketchup.com` in browser
+- Send a message asking for a code change
+- See the change appear in the diff pane in real time
+- Click Approve → file written, change marked applied
+- Click Reject → change discarded
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Dispatcher + Tasks (v2.0.0 final)
+
+**Goal:** Task queue works. User can create tasks, dispatcher picks them up and runs them through Path A.
+
+**Estimated:** ~150 LoC
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **Dispatcher** (`apps/coder/src/services/dispatcher.ts`)
+   - In-process `setInterval(5000)` polling `tasks` WHERE `state='pending'` ORDER BY `created_at`
+   - For each ready task: mark `state='running'`, run inference with the task's `input` as the user message
+   - On completion: mark `state='completed'`
+   - On error: mark `state='failed'`
+   - On abort: mark `state='cancelled'`
+   - Respects `app.addHook('onClose')` — stops polling, waits for in-flight task
+
+2. **Task API routes**
+   - `POST /api/tasks` — create a task `{project_id, input, agent?, model?}`
+   - `GET /api/tasks` — list tasks (filterable by state, project)
+   - `GET /api/tasks/:id` — get task details + output_summary
+   - `POST /api/tasks/:id/cancel` — cancel a running task
+
+3. **Task → session linkage**
+   - Each task creates its own session + chat for isolation
+   - Task's pending_changes reference the task_id
+   - When task completes, its pending_changes are visible in the UI for approval
+
+4. **Agent probing** (`apps/coder/src/services/agent-probe.ts`)
+   - On startup: `which opencode`, `which goose`, `which claude`, `which pi`
+   - Parse version from `<agent> --version`
+   - Check ACP support: `opencode acp --help` exits 0 → supports_acp = true
+   - Populate `available_agents` table
+
+### Verification
+- `POST /api/tasks {input: "add a /api/version endpoint"}` → task created
+- Dispatcher picks it up → inference runs → `edit_file` queued → task completes
+- `GET /api/tasks/:id` shows `state='completed'` + output_summary
+- Pending changes visible in diff pane for approval
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — ACP Dispatch (v2.0.1)
+
+**Goal:** Tasks can be dispatched to external agents via ACP. opencode and goose run as subprocesses, their events flow back into BooCode.
+
+**Estimated:** ~350 LoC
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **ACP client** (`apps/coder/src/services/acp-client.ts`)
+   - Install: `pnpm -C apps/coder add @zed-industries/agent-client-protocol`
+   - `spawnAcpAgent(agent: string, task: string, worktree: string, mcpServers: McpConfig[]): AcpSession`
+   - Uses SDK's `StdioTransport` — spawn `opencode acp` or `goose acp` as child
+   - Pass `context_servers` for MCP auto-forward
+   - Event listener: maps ACP events to BooCode's parts taxonomy
+
+2. **ACP event mapping**
+   - `file_operation` → queue into `pending_changes` (same as Path A native writes)
+   - `tool_call` / `tool_result` → insert as `message_parts` in the task's session
+   - `terminal_output` → publish as WS frame for BooTerm routing
+   - `permission_request` → pause (same mechanism as `ask_user_input`)
+   - `session_end` → task state → `completed` or `failed`
+
+3. **Worktree management** (`apps/coder/src/services/worktrees.ts`)
+   - `createWorktree(projectPath, taskId): string` — `git worktree add /tmp/booworktrees/<taskId> -b task-<taskId> HEAD`
+   - `diffWorktree(worktreePath, projectPath): UnifiedDiff[]` — `git diff HEAD...<worktree-branch>`
+   - `cleanupWorktree(worktreePath): void` — `git worktree remove`
+   - On ACP session end: diff the worktree, queue diffs into `pending_changes`, cleanup
+
+4. **PTY fallback** (`apps/coder/src/services/pty-dispatch.ts`)
+   - For agents without ACP (claude, pi, smallcode)
+   - `spawnPtyAgent(agent: string, task: string, worktree: string): PtySession`
+   - Uses `node-pty` — spawn `claude` or `pi` with cwd = worktree
+   - Capture stdout/stderr into `message_parts` (kind='text', less structured than ACP)
+   - On exit: diff worktree → queue pending_changes → cleanup
+
+5. **Dispatcher update** — transport selection
+   - Check `available_agents[agent].supports_acp` at dispatch time
+   - ACP-capable → `spawnAcpAgent`
+   - PTY fallback → `spawnPtyAgent`
+   - Native (no agent specified) → Path A inference loop (Phase 4)
+
+6. **AGENTS.md extensions**
+   - Add `execution_strategy: plan | act | research` field
+   - Add `expert_model` field for cost-routing
+   - Add `output_schema` field (optional JSON Schema for structured final output)
+
+### Verification
+- Create task with `agent: 'opencode'` → ACP subprocess spawns
+- opencode edits files in worktree → events stream into UI
+- On completion: worktree diff queued in `pending_changes`
+- Approve → changes applied to main project
+- Fallback: create task with `agent: 'claude'` → PTY captures output → worktree diff queued
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — MCP Server (v2.0.2)
+
+**Goal:** BooCoder exposes its own primitives as MCP tools. External opencode sessions in Termius can drive the task queue.
+
+**Estimated:** ~250 LoC
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **MCP server** (`apps/coder/src/services/mcp-server.ts`)
+   - Use `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` server-side (`Server` class)
+   - Stdio transport (read from stdin, write to stdout)
+   - Entry point: `boocoder --mcp` CLI flag starts the MCP server instead of the HTTP server
+
+2. **Tool handlers** (6 tools)
+   - `boocoder.create_task` → INSERT into tasks table, return task_id
+   - `boocoder.list_pending_changes` → SELECT from pending_changes WHERE session matches
+   - `boocoder.apply` → call `applyOne(change_id)`
+   - `boocoder.reject` → call `rejectOne(change_id)`
+   - `boocoder.dispatch_external_agent` → create task with agent specified, return task_id
+   - `boocoder.list_worktrees` → list active worktrees from tasks WHERE worktree_path IS NOT NULL AND state='running'
+
+3. **10-question eval** (per `anthropics/skills/mcp-builder` framework)
+   - Write 10 independent, read-only, verifiable questions about the BooCoder state
+   - Run eval: `echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"boocoder.list_pending_changes","arguments":{}},"id":1}' | boocoder --mcp`
+   - All 10 must return correct answers
+
+4. **opencode integration test**
+   - Add BooCoder as an MCP server in `~/.opencode/config.json`:
+     ```json
+     {"mcpServers": {"boocoder": {"type": "stdio", "command": "boocoder", "args": ["--mcp"]}}}
+     ```
+   - From opencode: call `boocoder.create_task` → verify task appears in BooCoder UI
+
+### Verification
+- `echo '...' | boocoder --mcp` returns valid MCP responses
+- 10-question eval passes
+- opencode can drive BooCoder's task queue via MCP
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7 — CLI + Polish (v2.0.3)
+
+**Goal:** `boocode` CLI client, human inbox UI, cost tracking, observation hooks.
+
+**Estimated:** ~400 LoC
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **CLI client** (`apps/coder/src/cli.ts`)
+   - Thin HTTP/WS client against BooCoder API
+   - `boocode run "task description"` → POST /api/tasks → stream output via WS
+   - `boocode ls` → GET /api/tasks → formatted table
+   - `boocode attach <id>` → WS subscribe to task's session → stream live
+   - `boocode send <id> "message"` → POST message to task's session chat
+   - Build as a standalone binary via `pkg` or `esbuild --bundle`
+
+2. **Human inbox UI** (frontend)
+   - New route: `/inbox` → shows tasks WHERE `state IN ('blocked', 'failed')`
+   - Per-task: view output, retry (reset state to pending), cancel, reassign agent
+   - Badge on sidebar showing count of inbox items
+
+3. **Cost tracking**
+   - `tasks.cost_tokens` populated from inference `usage` callback (same as BooChat's `tokens_used`)
+   - Summary API: `GET /api/stats/costs?group_by=project|agent|day` → aggregated token spend
+   - Simple UI: cost badge on each task, totals in settings
+
+4. **Observation hooks** (budi taxonomy)
+   - Emit 5 event types on the BooCoder WS protocol for dispatched agents:
+     - `session_start` — agent spawned
+     - `user_prompt_submit` — task spec delivered
+     - `post_tool_use` — each tool call completed
+     - `subagent_start` — nested dispatch (Boomerang)
+     - `stop` — agent finished
+   - Consumed by frontend for real-time status indicators
+
+5. **Boomerang `new_task` tool** (subagent isolation)
+   - When an agent's toolset includes `new_task`:
+     - Creates a child task (fresh session, fresh context)
+     - Child runs to completion
+     - Parent gets only `attempt_completion` summary
+   - Orchestrator agent profile: tools = `[new_task, list_tasks, check_task_status]` ONLY
+
+### Verification
+- `boocode run "add health endpoint"` from terminal → task runs → output streams → diff queued
+- `boocode ls` shows task list with states + cost
+- Inbox shows failed tasks, retry works
+- Boomerang: orchestrator creates subtask → subtask runs isolated → parent gets summary only
+
+---
+
+## Phase 8 — Hardening + Ship (v2.0.x)
+
+**Goal:** Security hardening, integration tests, documentation, production deploy.
+
+**Estimated:** ~100 LoC (mostly tests + docs)
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **Path-guard fuzz suite** — property tests for every traversal pattern:
+   - `../` sequences (all depths)
+   - Symlink outside project root
+   - Null bytes in path
+   - Unicode normalization attacks
+   - Race conditions (TOCTOU between validate + write)
+   - MCP-served filesystem writes routed through pending_changes
+
+2. **Integration tests**
+   - End-to-end: create task → inference → edit_file → apply → file written → verify content
+   - ACP dispatch: mock opencode → events flow → pending_changes queued
+   - MCP server: 10-question eval automated in CI
+
+3. **Documentation**
+   - `BOOCODER.md` finalized (container guidance)
+   - `CLAUDE.md` updated with BooCoder architecture section
+   - `boocode_roadmap.md` v2.0 retrospective
+   - `CHANGELOG.md` entries for each sub-version
+
+4. **Production deploy**
+   - Caddy config: `coder.indifferentketchup.com`
+   - Authelia: same SSO group as BooChat
+   - Smoke: full workflow (chat → edit → approve → verify)
+
+5. **Tag** — `v2.0.0` (or `v2.0.0-rc1` if Sam wants a bake period)
+

+## Risk register
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Path-guard bypass → arbitrary writes | Pending-changes double-validates (at queue time + apply time). Fuzz suite in Phase 8. OpenHands sandbox (v2.1) as fallback. |
+| ACP spec instability (remote transport WIP) | Use stdio only. No remote ACP in v2.0. |
+| node-pty native compilation breaks in Docker | bookworm-slim + glibc matches booterm's working config. Pin node-pty version. |
+| Worktree cleanup failure → disk bloat | 30-min idle timeout sweeper. `git worktree prune` on startup. |
+| DB rename breaks existing sessions | One-time migration with explicit backup. BooChat/BooTerm URLs unchanged. |
+| MCP server eval failure | Ship stdio MCP server only after 10/10 eval passes. |
+| Boomerang context leak (child leaks state to parent) | Architectural enforcement: child's session_id ≠ parent's. Summary field is the ONLY bridge. |

+# v2.0 — BooCoder
+
+Major version bump. New app `apps/coder/` inside the existing monorepo. Lands together with the `boocode_db` → `boochat_db` DB rename and the per-app subdomain split (`code.indifferentketchup.com` → BooChat, `coder.indifferentketchup.com` → BooCoder).
+
+## What BooCoder is
+
+A write-capable coding agent surface. Two execution paths, same UI:
+
+- **Path A (native):** BooCode's own inference loop with write tools (`edit_file`, `create_file`, `delete_file`). Edits queue in `pending_changes` — nothing touches disk until user approves via `/apply`.
+- **Path B (dispatch):** Shells out to external CLI agents (`opencode`, `goose`, `claude`, `pi`) via ACP (preferred) or raw PTY (fallback). One git worktree per dispatch. Captures events into the same parts taxonomy.
+
+Both paths feed the same task DAG, same project registry, same pending-changes queue, same UI.
+
+## Why now
+
+v1.x proved the read-only loop works end-to-end: inference, tool dispatch, streaming, compaction, MCP client, outer loop, step caps, artifact rendering. The infrastructure is stable. The jump from "read-only chat" to "write-capable agent orchestrator" is the remaining gap between BooCode and having a real development environment.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Three protocol roles (locked 2026-05-22)
+
+1. **MCP client (write-capable allowed).** Inherits v1.15 client. Write-capable MCP servers (e.g. `@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem`) route writes through `pending_changes`. Per-task allow/deny means dispatched tasks can have a different MCP roster.
+2. **MCP server (BooCoder's own primitives).** Exposes `boocoder.create_task`, `boocoder.list_pending_changes`, `boocoder.apply`, `boocoder.reject`, `boocoder.dispatch_external_agent`, `boocoder.list_worktrees` as MCP tools. Stdio transport for local consumers (Sam's `opencode` in Termius); HTTP deferred until OAuth + secret storage.
+3. **ACP client (host).** Spawns `opencode acp` and `goose acp` as JSON-RPC stdio subprocesses. Maps ACP events (file operations, tool calls, terminal output) to BooCode's parts taxonomy. MCP servers configured in BooCoder are auto-forwarded to the dispatched agent (per goose docs — `context_servers` is the field).
+
+### Container layout (post-v2.0)
+
+| Container | Port | Mount | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `boochat` (was `boocode`) | `100.114.205.53:9500` | `/opt:/opt:ro` | Read-only chat + MCP client |
+| `booterm` | `100.114.205.53:9501` | `/opt:/opt:rw` | PTY/tmux terminal |
+| `boocoder` | `100.114.205.53:9502` | `/opt:/opt:rw` (policy-gated) | Write tools + ACP host + MCP client + MCP server |
+| `boochat_db` (was `boocode_db`) | `127.0.0.1:5500` | `boocode_pgdata` | Shared Postgres 16 |
+| `codecontext` | internal `:8080` | `/opt:/opt:ro` | Analysis sidecar (shared) |
+
+### Caddy routing
+
+```
+code.indifferentketchup.com    → boochat:9500
+coder.indifferentketchup.com   → boocoder:9502
+term.indifferentketchup.com    → booterm:9501 (or routed under code.*/term/)
+```
+
+## Schema (new tables)
+
+```sql
+-- Pending changes: queued writes before /apply
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS pending_changes (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+  session_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES sessions(id),
+  task_id UUID REFERENCES tasks(id),
+  file_path TEXT NOT NULL,
+  operation TEXT NOT NULL CHECK (operation IN ('create', 'edit', 'delete')),
+  diff TEXT NOT NULL,
+  status TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'pending' CHECK (status IN ('pending', 'applied', 'rejected', 'reverted')),
+  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT clock_timestamp()
+);
+
+-- Tasks: the dispatch DAG
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tasks (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+  project_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES projects(id),
+  parent_task_id UUID REFERENCES tasks(id),
+  state TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'pending'
+    CHECK (state IN ('pending', 'running', 'completed', 'failed', 'blocked', 'cancelled')),

+  last_probed_at TIMESTAMPTZ
+);
+
+-- Human inbox: tasks needing attention
+CREATE VIEW human_inbox AS
+  SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE state IN ('blocked', 'failed');
+```
+
+`task_templates` and `pipelines` deferred to v2.1 — overhead for single-user. The core is `tasks` + `pending_changes` + `available_agents`.
+
+## Path A — Native write tools
+
+### Tools
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `edit_file` | Apply a diff to an existing file. Input: `{file_path, old_string, new_string}`. Queues in `pending_changes` with `operation='edit'`. |
+| `create_file` | Create a new file. Input: `{file_path, content}`. Queues as `operation='create'`. |
+| `delete_file` | Delete a file. Input: `{file_path}`. Queues as `operation='delete'`. |
+| `apply_pending` | Flush all pending changes for the current session to disk. Path-guarded. |
+| `rewind` | Revert a specific applied change or all changes since a checkpoint. |
+
+### Path guard for writes
+
+Same `pathGuard()` function from BooChat, but with a write-path variant:
+- `resolveWritePath(projectRoot, requested)` — uses `resolve()` (not `realpath()`, since the file may not exist yet for creates), then verifies the result starts with `projectRoot + sep`.
+- Deny list: everything in `secret_guard.ts` (`.env`, `*.pem`, etc.) — can't write to those either.
+- Defense-in-depth: the `pending_changes` queue means even a path-guard bypass only queues; it doesn't hit disk until `/apply` (which re-validates).
+
+### Diff format
+
+Standard unified diff (what `git diff` produces). The `edit_file` tool takes `old_string` / `new_string` (same as Claude Code's edit tool — the model is trained on this shape). Server computes the unified diff for storage in `pending_changes.diff`.
+
+### UI: per-pane diff viewer
+
+Frontend pane type `pending_changes` in BooCoder's workspace. Shows:
+- List of queued changes with file path + operation
+- Per-change diff view (syntax-highlighted, side-by-side or unified)
+- Approve / Reject per change, or Approve All / Reject All
+
+## Path B — External agent dispatch
+
+### dispatch_external_agent tool
+
+```typescript
+{
+  agent: 'opencode' | 'claude' | 'goose' | 'pi',
+  model: string,        // e.g. 'claude-opus-4-7'
+  task: string,         // natural-language task description
+  worktree?: string,    // optional — auto-creates if not specified
+}
+```
+
+### Transport selection
+
+Dispatcher checks `available_agents.supports_acp` at runtime:
+- **ACP** (preferred): `opencode acp`, `goose acp` — JSON-RPC stdio. Native session lifecycle, file-operation events, terminal events, permission prompts.
+- **PTY** (fallback): `claude`, `pi`, `smallcode` — raw terminal capture via `node-pty`. Captures stdout/stderr/exit-code into PostgreSQL. Less structured than ACP.
+
+### Worktree management
+
+Each dispatched task gets its own git worktree:
+```bash
+git worktree add /tmp/booworktrees/<task-id> -b task-<task-id> HEAD
+```
+
+On completion: diff the worktree against HEAD, queue the diff into `pending_changes` for the same task, clean up the worktree. User approves/rejects the diff the same way as Path A.
+
+### ACP event mapping
+
+ACP events → BooCode parts taxonomy:
+- `file_operation` → `tool_call` part (name: `acp_edit_file`) + `tool_result` part
+- `tool_call` → `tool_call` part (preserves name)
+- `terminal_output` → routes into BooTerm pane
+- `permission_request` → pause inference (same mechanism as `ask_user_input`)
+- `session_end` → task state → `completed` or `failed`
+
+### MCP server auto-forward
+
+Per goose docs, `context_servers` field in the ACP session config auto-forwards BooCoder's configured MCP servers to the dispatched agent. One MCP config drives every agent.
+
+## Dispatcher worker
+
+Background process (or in-process `setInterval` for v2.0 simplicity) that:
+1. Queries `tasks` WHERE `state = 'pending'` ORDER BY `created_at`
+2. For each ready task (no unmet dependencies):
+   - Mark `state = 'running'`
+   - Resolve execution path (Path A if no agent specified, Path B if agent specified)
+   - Path A: run the inference loop with write tools enabled
+   - Path B: spawn ACP/PTY subprocess, stream events into parts
+   - On completion: mark `state = 'completed'` or `'failed'`
+   - Queue output diff into `pending_changes`
+3. On failure: mark `state = 'failed'`, surface in `human_inbox` view
+
+## BooCoder MCP server
+
+Exposes BooCoder's primitives as MCP tools so external agents (Sam's opencode in Termius) can drive the task queue:
+
+| MCP Tool | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `boocoder.create_task` | Create a new task in the queue |
+| `boocoder.list_pending_changes` | List queued changes awaiting approval |
+| `boocoder.apply` | Apply a specific pending change |
+| `boocoder.reject` | Reject a pending change |
+| `boocoder.dispatch_external_agent` | Dispatch a task to an external agent |
+| `boocoder.list_worktrees` | List active git worktrees |
+
+Stdio transport for local consumers. HTTP transport deferred until OAuth + secret storage.
+
+**Eval requirement:** run through `anthropics/skills mcp-builder` 10-question evaluation framework before shipping.
+
+## Code lifts
+
+### Primary architectural template
+
+**`Dominic789654/agent-hub`** (Apache-2.0) — task DAG schema, dispatcher worker, project registry, human inbox. Three-process model (board server + dispatcher + assistant terminal). BooCode adapts this into a single-process Fastify app (v2.0.0) with the dispatcher as an in-process worker.
+
+### Pending-changes UX
+
+**`plandex-ai/plandex`** (MIT) — diff/apply/rewind vocabulary. The `pending_changes` queue concept, per-file diff view, approve/reject UI pattern. No code lifted — schema and UX design only.
+
+### ACP client
+
+**`agentclientprotocol.com` spec + `@zed-industries/agent-client-protocol` SDK** (Apache-2.0) — local-subprocess ACP via stdio JSON-RPC. The SDK handles framing; BooCode maps events to its parts taxonomy.
+
+**`goose` docs** (`goose-docs.ai/docs/guides/acp-clients/`) — `context_servers` auto-forward pattern. Critical: one MCP config drives every dispatched agent.
+
+### MCP server
+
+**`anthropics/skills/mcp-builder`** (MIT) — 4-phase build workflow + 10-question evaluation framework for validating the MCP server before shipping.
+
+### Dispatcher pattern
+
+**Paseo (`getpaseo/paseo`)** — AGPL-3.0, **design only, no code lift**. Daemon+clients architecture, `--worktree` flag, CLI verb shape (`run/ls/attach/send`). BooCode reproduces the architecture using only license-clean patterns.
+
+**Roo Code Boomerang Tasks** — orchestrator with intentional capability restriction. Down-pass/up-pass context discipline (`new_task` message, `attempt_completion` result, no implicit inheritance). Explicit precedence override clause.
+
+### Write-tool security
+
+**opencode `permission/evaluate.ts`** — wildcard permission ruleset (already lifted in v1.15). Extended in v2.0 to gate write tools.
+
+**`covibes/zeroshot`** — blind-validation invariant. Verify gate runs in a separate agent context that only sees the diff and acceptance criteria, not the producing conversation. v2.0+ optional batch.
+
+## Sub-versions
+
+| Version | Scope |
+|---|---|
+| **v2.0.0** | Schema + Path A (native write tools + pending-changes queue + diff UI) + basic dispatcher |
+| **v2.0.1** | Path B (ACP client for opencode/goose + PTY fallback for claude/pi + worktree management) |
+| **v2.0.2** | BooCoder MCP server (stdio transport, `boocoder.*` tools, eval framework) |
+| **v2.0.3** | Polish: `boocode` CLI (`run/ls/attach/send`), human_inbox UI, cost tracking |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- v1.13 ✅ (parts table — the event taxonomy for everything)
+- v1.14 ✅ (outer loop + step boundaries for future revert snapshots)
+- v1.14.x-mcp ✅ (MCP client PoC — proves the protocol)
+- v1.15 ✅ (full MCP client + tool globs — write-capable MCP servers route through pending_changes)
+- v1.16 ✅ (codesight merge — codecontext now has blast-radius for impact analysis)
+
+All dependencies shipped. v2.0 is unblocked.
+
+## Estimate
+
+- v2.0.0: ~800 LoC (schema + write tools + pending-changes service + diff pane + dispatcher skeleton)
+- v2.0.1: ~600 LoC (ACP client + PTY dispatch + worktree management + event mapping)
+- v2.0.2: ~400 LoC (MCP server + 6 tool handlers + stdio transport + eval)
+- v2.0.3: ~400 LoC (CLI client + inbox UI + cost aggregation)
+- **Total: ~2200 LoC** across 4 sub-versions
+
+## Hard rules
+
+- BooChat stays read-only. BooCoder is the only surface with write tools.
+- Path-guard correctness is the #1 test target. Fuzz against every traversal pattern.
+- Pending-changes queue gates ALL writes (native + MCP). Nothing touches disk without user approval (or explicit auto-apply flag per task).
+- One shared database. Cross-surface joins are valuable (task → chat → terminal debugging session).
+- External CLI agents on the host, not in containers. BooCoder shells out via local-exec.
+- No OAuth in v2.0. MCP server is stdio-only until secret storage lands.
+- DB rename `boocode_db` → `boochat_db` lands with v2.0.0 (one-time migration).
+
+## AGENTS.md extensions (v2.0.0)
+
+Port from `qodo-ai/agents` (MIT) `agent.toml` schema and `ai-christianson/RA.Aid` (Apache-2.0) three-stage pattern:
+
+| Field | Type | Purpose | Source |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `steps` | number | Per-agent step cap (already shipped v1.14.0) | opencode |
+| `output_schema` | JSON Schema | Structured output constraint for the agent's final response | qodo-ai/agents |
+| `exit_expression` | string | Regex/predicate — when the agent considers itself done | qodo-ai/agents |
+| `execution_strategy` | `plan` \| `act` \| `research` | Which phase of the RA.Aid three-stage pattern this agent operates in | qodo-ai/agents + RA.Aid |
+| `model` | string | Per-agent model override (already shipped v1.8) | — |
+| `expert_model` | string | Escalation model for hard reasoning (RA.Aid "expert tool" escape hatch) | RA.Aid |
+
+The three-stage pattern maps to BooCoder's use case:
+- **Research agent** (cheap model) → understand the task, find relevant files
+- **Planning agent** (standard model) → decide which files to edit, what the changes look like
+- **Implementation agent** (full model) → produce the actual diffs
+
+`expert_model` is the escape hatch: a routine model handles most subtasks, but can call the expert model (e.g. qwopus27b) when stuck. Matches Sam's existing cost-routing discipline.
+
+## Subagent isolation (Boomerang pattern, v2.0.1)
+
+From Roo Code Boomerang Tasks (Apache-2.0 pattern):
+
+When an orchestrator agent calls a `new_task` tool, BooCoder:
+1. Creates a fresh `tasks` row with `parent_task_id` pointing to the orchestrator's task
+2. Spawns a fresh inference session (Path A) or dispatch (Path B) with ONLY the task spec as context — no inherited conversation
+3. Child runs to `attempt_completion`, writes a summary to `tasks.output_summary`
+4. Parent resumes reading ONLY the summary (not the child's full conversation)
+
+**Three principles:**
+- Orchestrator capability restriction: the orchestrator agent's tool list includes ONLY `new_task`, `list_tasks`, `check_task_status` — it cannot read files or call MCP tools directly
+- Down-pass: parent sends task spec via `new_task(input)`, nothing else inherited
+- Up-pass: child sends result via `attempt_completion(summary)`, nothing else surfaces to parent
+
+This is the **single most important context-management primitive** — it prevents long-running orchestrators from poisoning their context with implementation detail.
+
+## Observation hooks (v2.0.3)
+
+From `siropkin/budi` (MIT) Claude Code 5-hook taxonomy:
+
+Register BooCoder as a hook receiver for dispatched agents. Five events:
+- `SessionStart` — agent spawned
+- `UserPromptSubmit` — task spec delivered
+- `PostToolUse` — each tool call completed
+- `SubagentStart` — nested dispatch
+- `Stop` — agent finished
+
+These map directly to BooCode's existing WS frame protocol. The hook receiver is the BooCoder Fastify server; events flow into the `message_parts` taxonomy as `step_start`-style instrumentation parts.
+
+## Follow-up batches (v2.0+ optional, ordered by value)
+
+| Batch | Source | What | When |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **PR-resolver tool** | `qodo-ai/qodo-skills` (MIT) | Fetch GitHub issues → batch/interactive fix → inline PR reply. BooCoder tool that replaces Sam's manual PR workflow. | v2.0.3+ |
+| **HMAC audit log** | `sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein` (verify license) | One new `audit_log` table with `prev_hmac` field. Tamper-evident history of every edit BooCoder makes. Small lift (~50 LoC). | v2.0.1+ |
+| **Blind-validation gate** | `covibes/zeroshot` (MIT) | Verify gate runs in a separate agent context that sees ONLY the diff + acceptance criteria, not the producing conversation. Complements Boomerang (isolation) + bernstein (lineage). | v2.0.2+ |
+| **Majority-vote ensembler** | `augmentcode/augment-swebench-agent` (MIT) | K candidate diffs from K agents → ranker model picks the best one. Optional layer above `pending_changes`. | v2.1+ |
+| **Drift detection** | `memovai/memov` (MIT) | `validate_commit` concept — detects when actual changes diverge from what was requested. Shadow timeline comparison. | v2.0.3+ |
+| **Anti-slop for frontend** | `Leonxlnx/taste-skill` (MIT) | 100+ specific font/color/layout ban list + 3-dial parameterization. Vendor into skills/ when BooCoder generates frontend code. | v2.0+ |
+| **Verify-before-commit gate** | `DeepSourceCorp/globstar` (MIT) | Rule-based AST linter as a pre-apply quality gate. YAML checkers in `.globstar/`. | v2.1+ (parked) |
+| **Docker sandbox** | `OpenHands/OpenHands` (MIT) | Per-session Docker container for write tools. Closes the `/opt:rw` mount risk if path-guard ever proves insufficient. | v2.1 (optional) |
+| **Multi-provider LLM** | `earendil-works/pi` (MIT) | Provider abstraction if a need for Anthropic/OpenAI/Mistral direct surfaces beyond llama-swap. | v2.x (optional) |

+- [ ] `apps/coder/src/services/write_guard.ts` — `resolveWritePath(projectRoot, filePath)` (resolve + prefix-check, no realpath since file may not exist)
+- [ ] `apps/coder/src/services/pending_changes.ts` — queue, apply, reject, revert operations
+- [ ] Tool: `edit_file` — takes `{file_path, old_string, new_string}`, computes unified diff, queues in `pending_changes`
+- [ ] Tool: `create_file` — takes `{file_path, content}`, queues as `operation='create'`
+- [ ] Tool: `delete_file` — takes `{file_path}`, queues as `operation='delete'`
+- [ ] Tool: `apply_pending` — flushes pending changes to disk (re-validates write_guard before each write)
+- [ ] Tool: `rewind` — reverts applied changes by inverse-diff
+
+### Inference loop
+
+- [ ] Port the v1.14 outer loop from `apps/server/` into `apps/coder/` (or share via workspace package)
+- [ ] Register write tools in the coder's tool registry (alongside all read tools from BooChat)
+- [ ] Permission gate: write tools require `pending_changes` queue (can't bypass to direct disk write)
+
+### Frontend (diff pane)
+
+- [ ] Create `apps/coder/web/` SPA (React + Vite, same stack as BooChat's `apps/web/`)
+- [ ] Diff pane component: shows pending changes with syntax-highlighted diffs
+- [ ] Approve / Reject per change, Approve All / Reject All buttons
+- [ ] Workspace splitter integration (chat pane + diff pane side by side)
+
+### Verification
+
+- [ ] `pnpm -C apps/coder build` clean
+- [ ] Write path-guard fuzz tests (traversal patterns, symlinks, non-existent paths, `.env` deny)
+- [ ] `docker compose up --build -d` — boocoder container starts, healthcheck passes
+- [ ] Smoke: send a chat requesting a file edit → see it queued in diff pane → approve → file written
+
+## v2.0.1 — Path B (ACP dispatch + PTY fallback + worktrees)
+
+### ACP client
+
+- [ ] `apps/coder/src/services/acp-client.ts` — spawn `opencode acp` / `goose acp` via `@zed-industries/agent-client-protocol` StdioTransport
+- [ ] Event mapping: ACP `file_operation` → `tool_call` part, `terminal_output` → BooTerm route, `permission_request` → pause
+- [ ] Session lifecycle: start, mid-session model switch, end
+- [ ] MCP auto-forward: pass BooCoder's `context_servers` config to the ACP session
+
+### PTY fallback
+
+- [ ] `apps/coder/src/services/pty-dispatch.ts` — spawn `claude` / `pi` / `smallcode` via `node-pty`
+- [ ] Capture stdout/stderr/exit-code into parts (less structured than ACP)
+- [ ] Worktree setup: `git worktree add /tmp/booworktrees/<task-id> -b task-<task-id> HEAD`
+- [ ] On completion: diff worktree vs HEAD → queue into `pending_changes`
+
+### Dispatcher
+
+- [ ] `apps/coder/src/services/dispatcher.ts` — polls `tasks` WHERE `state='pending'`, picks by priority + creation order
+- [ ] Transport selection: check `available_agents.supports_acp` at dispatch time
+- [ ] On failure: mark `state='failed'`, surface in `human_inbox`
+- [ ] On completion: mark `state='completed'`, queue diff if Path B
+
+### Agent probing
+
+- [ ] Startup probe: `which opencode && opencode --version`, `which goose`, `which claude`, `which pi`
+- [ ] Populate `available_agents` table with version + ACP support
+
+### Verification
+
+- [ ] Smoke: dispatch a task to `opencode` via ACP → task completes → diff queued
+- [ ] Smoke: dispatch to `claude` via PTY fallback → captures output → diff from worktree
+- [ ] Worktree cleanup after task completion
+
+## v2.0.2 — BooCoder MCP server
+
+### Implementation
+
+- [ ] `apps/coder/src/services/mcp-server.ts` — register 6 tools as MCP tool handlers
+- [ ] Stdio transport (use `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` server-side, same SDK as client)
+- [ ] Tools: `boocoder.create_task`, `boocoder.list_pending_changes`, `boocoder.apply`, `boocoder.reject`, `boocoder.dispatch_external_agent`, `boocoder.list_worktrees`
+- [ ] Each tool maps to a DB operation or service call
+
+### Eval
+
+- [ ] Write 10-question eval per `anthropics/skills/mcp-builder` framework
+- [ ] Run eval against the MCP server — all 10 must pass before shipping
+- [ ] Document eval results in openspec
+
+### Verification
+
+- [ ] From a terminal: `echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","id":1}' | boocoder --mcp` → returns 6 tools
+- [ ] From opencode: configure BooCoder as an MCP server in `~/.opencode/config.json`, verify tool calls work
+
+## v2.0.3 — Polish
+
+### CLI client
+
+- [ ] `apps/coder/src/cli.ts` — thin WebSocket/HTTP client against BooCoder API
+- [ ] Verbs: `boocode run <task>`, `boocode ls`, `boocode attach <id>`, `boocode send <id> <message>`
+- [ ] Mirrors Paseo's UX, license-clean implementation
+
+### Human inbox UI
+
+- [ ] Frontend route showing tasks in `blocked`/`failed` state
+- [ ] Per-task: view output, retry, cancel, reassign to different agent
+
+### Cost tracking
+
+- [ ] `tasks.cost_tokens` populated from inference usage
+- [ ] Summary view: per-project, per-agent, per-day token spend
+
+### Verification
+
+- [ ] `boocode run "add a health endpoint"` from terminal → task appears in UI → completes → diff in pane
+- [ ] `boocode ls` shows running/completed/failed tasks
