merge v1.11.3-ctxmax

- llama-server does not emit n_ctx in timings (confirmed empirically);
  dead code at inference.ts:479 and compaction.ts:300 never fired
- New model-context.ts: cached fetch of /upstream/<model>/props
  with positive-cache (no TTL) and 60s negative-cache
- Wired into all 4 ctx_max write sites: 3 in inference.ts
  (executeToolPhase, finalizeCompletion, runCapHitSummary) and
  1 in compaction.ts (summary row INSERT)
- AbortController 3s timeout, lenient parsing with sensible defaults
- 12 new vitest cases for the cache module (59 total)
- 7 historical assistant rows backfilled manually (see notes)

 - **`hooks/useSidebar.ts`** — Module-singleton with Set<setState> subscriber pattern; one bus subscription guarded by `globalThis.__boocode_sidebar_subscribed` for HMR safety. Every new `SessionEvent` type needs a `case` in the `applyEvent` switch (no-op `return prev` is fine).
 - **`api/client.ts`** — Centralized typed fetch wrapper. All endpoints under `api.*` namespace.
 
+Font / CSS pipeline (apps/web):
+- Tailwind v4's `@import "tailwindcss"` directive strips font URLs from subsequent CSS `@import`s — `@fontsource*` packages must be imported as JS side-effect modules in `apps/web/src/main.tsx`, not via `@import` in `globals.css`. Otherwise the woff2 files never make it to `dist/`.
+- Lightning CSS (inside `@tailwindcss/postcss` v4) collapses contiguous unicode-ranges to wildcard shorthand (`U+0000-FFFF` → `U+????`), which iOS Safari/Vivaldi mishandles (silently drops the font from those codepoints). Use explicit non-wildcard-collapsible subranges (e.g. `U+2500-259F` not `U+2500-25FF`). The `apps/web` build script greps `dist/assets/*.css` for `U+2500-259F` and fails the build if missing — preserve that guard.
+- `@font-face` blocks must live AFTER all `@import` statements (CSS spec). Earlier placement silently breaks every subsequent `@import` (this broke the 18 theme palette imports in globals.css for one session).
+- JetBrainsMono Nerd Font self-hosted in `apps/web/src/fonts/` (TTF from ryanoasis/nerd-fonts release) — needed because `@fontsource-variable/jetbrains-mono` ships subsetted woff2s that don't cover `U+2500-259F` (box drawing + block elements, used by opencode's banner). "NL" = No Ligatures (matches `font-feature-settings: "liga" 0`); "Mono" = single-cell icon width so TUI layouts don't desync.
+- xterm-addon-webgl rasterizes glyphs via Canvas2D into a GPU texture atlas. Canvas2D does NOT honor `font-display: block` — it uses whatever font is currently registered. Gate xterm initialization on `document.fonts.load(<font-name>)` resolving before calling `term.open()` (see `fontsReady` useState in `TerminalPane.tsx`). iOS Safari/Vivaldi also reclaims WebGL contexts from backgrounded tabs: keep `webgl.onContextLoss(() => webgl.dispose())` + recreate via visibilitychange. Do NOT manually dispose+recreate the addon after font load — iOS silently fails the second GL context creation and the terminal drops to DOM renderer with stale metrics.

 - Don't accumulate `.bak-*` files. Clean them up in the same batch or immediately after merge.
 - Fastify global JSON parser tolerates empty bodies (overridden in `index.ts`); bodyless POSTs (archive, unarchive, stop) work without setting `Content-Type` tricks on the client.
 - Event dedup discipline: for any mutation the server publishes via `broker.publishUser`, do NOT add a local `sessionEvents.emit(...)` after the API call — `useUserEvents` forwards the WS frame onto the bus. Frontend mutation handlers must be idempotent (dedup by id, no-op on already-present).
+- `node:20-*` base images ship a `node` user at uid/gid 1000 — delete it (`userdel`/`groupdel` on debian, `deluser`/`delgroup` on alpine) before adding samkintop at 1000.
+- node-pty's compiled `.node` is libc-specific: proddeps and runtime Dockerfile stages must share libc (alpine↔musl or bookworm-slim↔glibc); the TS-only builder stage can stay alpine for speed.
+- pnpm 10 `--frozen-lockfile` skips node-pty's postinstall — the Docker proddeps stage runs `cd node_modules/node-pty && npm run install` to force the native compile.
+- A local PreToolUse hook (`security_reminder_hook.py`) regex-flags Node's older `child_process` spawn helpers as unsafe (false positive even on the File-suffixed variant). Use `spawn` — it's accepted.
+- `/opt/boolab` hosts a working sibling BooCode terminal at `boocode.indifferentketchup.com`. Useful for visual side-by-side comparison on the same iPhone when debugging booterm rendering. Boolab uses Tailwind v3 (`@tailwind base`); boocode uses v4 — many subtle build differences. Don't assume parity.
+- booterm SSHs to the host as `samkintop@100.114.205.53` (the Tailscale IP). The hostname `ubuntu-homelab` (shown in the bash prompt after login) does NOT resolve from inside the container — only the host's `/etc/hosts` knows it. Override via `BOOTERM_SSH_HOST` / `BOOTERM_SSH_USER` env vars in docker-compose if you ever move the shell to a different machine.

 - shadcn primitives live in `components/ui/`. Don't modify them unless adding a new primitive.
 - `inferLanguage()` from `lib/attachments.ts` is the canonical file-extension-to-language map. `CodeBlock.tsx` keeps its own `LANG_MAP` because it also resolves markdown fence names.
+- Two UI event buses: `hooks/sessionEvents.ts` for DB-state events (chat_created, session_updated); `lib/events.ts` for ephemeral UI (`sendToTerminal`, `terminalsRegistry`). Don't merge — different subscriber lifecycles.
+- `vite.config.ts` proxy entries are order-sensitive: more-specific prefixes (`/api/term`, `/ws/term`) must come BEFORE `/api`.
+- Mobile pane URL sync (`Session.tsx`): the `?pane=<id>` effect resets `activePaneIdx` whenever `panes` changes. New-pane creation on mobile must push `?pane=` atomically — `addPaneAndSwitch` is the wrapper that does this. `addSplitPane` returns the new pane id for callers.
+- xterm.js v5 uses canvas rendering — browser doesn't see xterm's selection; the native right-click menu has no working Copy for terminal text. App keybindings (`Cmd/Ctrl-C`, `Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-C`) are the path.

+// What's different from BooCode's legacy /compact:
+//   - Operates per-chat (chats have N:1 to sessions; history is per-chat).
+//   - Detects overflow automatically after each inference completion using
+//     llama-swap's reported n_ctx; flags chats.needs_compaction=true.
+//   - On the next turn (or manual /compact) we summarize the *head* (messages
+//     prior to a preserved tail of N user-turns) into a single
+//     summary=true assistant row. Older messages get compacted_at-stamped so
+//     inference assembly filters them out; the GET endpoint still returns
+//     them so the UI can show history with the summary card inline.
+//   - The summary is *anchored rolling* — exactly one live summary=true row
+//     per chat. Subsequent compactions read the prior summary as
+//     previousSummary, ask the LLM to update-merge it, then mark the prior
+//     summary row compacted_at too (it stays in the UI but isn't sent to the

+# BooCode v1.1 — Batch 10
+
+**Theme:** BooTerm. Second container, dedicated to in-browser terminals. Per-session tmux. xterm.js + node-pty in-container. New pane type wires into the BooCode shell.
+**Status:** Planned. Largest batch in v1.1. Depends on Batch 3 (pane system), Batch 7 (settings drawer pattern reused).
+**Repo:** `/opt/boocode/` (shared monorepo). New `apps/booterm/` subdirectory.
+
+## Goals
+
+1. New container `booterm` running Fastify + node-pty + tmux. Per-session tmux session keyed by `(user, session_id)`.
+2. xterm.js terminal pane in the BooCode shell. Multiple terminal panes per session, each attached to a separate tmux window.
+3. PTY traffic over WebSocket. Auth via `Remote-User`.
+4. tmux as session manager so terminals survive WebSocket reconnects, page refreshes, even container restarts.
+5. Read+write capability scoped to project root. No `cd ..` escape.
+6. Path-based routing: `code.indifferentketchup.com/api/term/*` → booterm; `/ws/term/*` → booterm.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```

+                                                      └── /                        → boocode (SPA)
+
+booterm container:
+  - Fastify (Node 20)
+  - node-pty
+  - tmux installed in container (apk add tmux)
+  - same Postgres (boocode_db)
+  - mounts projects rw (scoped)
+```
+
+### Mount strategy
+
+Decided: Option A. Per-project bind mounts in `docker-compose.yml`. Already applied: booterm has `/opt:/opt:rw` to keep parity with the existing boocode mount and avoid enumerating roots. Project root for any given session derives from `projects.root_path` and tmux launches with `cwd` set there.
+
+### tmux session naming
+
+Per-session tmux:
+
+```
+tmux session name: bc-<session_id>     (UUID, sanitized — alphanumeric + hyphen)
+tmux windows:      term-<pane_id>      (one window per terminal pane)
+```
+
+booterm spawns `tmux new-session -d -s bc-<sid> -c <project_root>` lazily on first attach. Subsequent attaches do `tmux new-window -t bc-<sid>` for additional panes, or `tmux attach -t bc-<sid>` and select window.
+
+## Data model
+
+| Column | On | Type | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| (none) | — | — | — | terminals are tmux-managed, no DB rows |
+| `kind = 'terminal'` | `session_panes.kind` CHECK | — | — | Extend CHECK to include `'terminal'` |
+| `state.tmux_window` | `session_panes.state` JSONB | TEXT | NULL | Which tmux window this pane attaches to |
+
+Schema (already applied to live DB + schema.sql):
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE session_panes DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS session_panes_kind_check;
+ALTER TABLE session_panes ADD CONSTRAINT session_panes_kind_check
+  CHECK (kind IN ('chat', 'file_browser', 'terminal'));
+```

+
+```
+client → server: pty input (raw bytes, typed by user)
+server → client: pty output (raw bytes from shell)
+server → client: {type: "exit", code} on window close
+```
+
+### Auth + scoping
+
+- `Remote-User` required on WS upgrade.
+- `session_id` validated: lookup in `sessions` table; require row exists.
+- `pane_id` validated: must exist in `session_panes` with `kind = 'terminal'` and matching `session_id`.
+- Project root derived from `sessions.project_id → projects.root_path`. tmux starts `cd <root>` in that dir. **No chroot.** User can `cd /` and read anything mounted into the container.
+  - Future hardening: namespace/chroot. Out of v1.1 scope.
+
+### tmux config
+
+`apps/booterm/tmux.conf` bundled into image at `/etc/booterm/tmux.conf`; tmux invocations use `-f /etc/booterm/tmux.conf`:
+
+```
+set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
+set -g history-limit 50000
+set -g mouse on
+setw -g mode-keys vi
+set -g status off
+set -g destroy-unattached off
+```
+
+Boolab pattern (from `services/tmux_session.py`).
+
+## Frontend
+
+| File | Change |
+|---|---|
+| `apps/web/src/components/panes/TerminalPane.tsx` (NEW) | xterm.js mount, WS attach, resize handler |
+| `apps/web/src/api/client.ts` | `api.terminals.start(sessionId, paneId)`, `api.terminals.resize(...)`, `api.terminals.kill(...)` |
+| `apps/web/src/components/Workspace.tsx` | Add 'terminal' to the pane kind enum; spawn button → POST start → render TerminalPane. Tab UI lives in Workspace.tsx — there is no PaneTab.tsx file. |
+| `apps/web/package.json` | `xterm` + `xterm-addon-fit` + `xterm-addon-web-links` |
+
+### TerminalPane
+
+```tsx
+useEffect(() => {
+  const term = new Terminal({ fontFamily: 'JetBrains Mono', fontSize: 14, theme: ... });
+  const fit = new FitAddon();
+  term.loadAddon(fit);
+  term.loadAddon(new WebLinksAddon());
+  term.open(containerRef.current);
+  fit.fit();
+
+  const proto = window.location.protocol === 'https:' ? 'wss:' : 'ws:';
+  const ws = new WebSocket(`${proto}//${window.location.host}/ws/term/sessions/${sid}/panes/${pid}`);
+  ws.binaryType = 'arraybuffer';
+  ws.onmessage = e => term.write(typeof e.data === 'string' ? e.data : new Uint8Array(e.data));
+  term.onData(data => ws.send(data));
+  term.onResize(({ cols, rows }) => api.terminals.resize(sid, pid, cols, rows));
+
+  const ro = new ResizeObserver(() => fit.fit());
+  ro.observe(containerRef.current);
+
+  return () => { ws.close(); term.dispose(); ro.disconnect(); };
+}, [sid, pid]);
+```
+
+Dev: vite.config.ts needs `/api/term` and `/ws/term` proxy entries mirroring the existing `/api` and `/ws` ones.
+
+## Send-to-terminal from chat
+
+Boolab pattern: select text in a message → "Send to terminal" button → text becomes terminal input.
+
+- Right-click context menu on selected text in chat → "Send to terminal" submenu lists open terminal panes.
+- Click target → sends `<text>\n` to that pane's WS.
+
+Implementation:
+
+| File | Change |
+|---|---|
+| `apps/web/src/components/MessageBubble.tsx` | Selection handler + context menu |
+| `apps/web/src/lib/events.ts` | New event `send_to_terminal` with payload `{pane_id, text}` |
+| `apps/web/src/components/panes/TerminalPane.tsx` | Subscribe to event for its `pane_id`, write to WS |
+
+## Docker compose (already applied)
+
+booterm service is already in `docker-compose.yml` with:
+- build context `.`, dockerfile `apps/booterm/Dockerfile`
+- port `100.114.205.53:9501:3000`
+- `/opt:/opt:rw` mount
+- `DATABASE_URL` env pointing at `boocode_db`
+- `boocode_net` network
+- depends_on: `boocode_db`
+
+Do not re-edit compose.
+
+## Backend dependencies
+
+`apps/booterm/package.json`:
+- `fastify`
+- `@fastify/websocket`
+- `pg`
+- `zod`
+- `node-pty`
+- `tslib`
+
+`node-pty` requires native build. Dockerfile installs `python3 make g++` in build stage and `tmux` in runtime stage:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM node:20-alpine AS build
+RUN apk add --no-cache python3 make g++ tmux
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY ...
+RUN pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm build
+
+FROM node:20-alpine
+RUN apk add --no-cache tmux
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY --from=build /app/apps/booterm/dist ./dist
+COPY --from=build /app/node_modules ./node_modules
+EXPOSE 3000
+CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]
+```
+
+## Files to touch
+
+**New app:**
+
+- `apps/booterm/` (entire subtree)
+
+**Existing changes:**
+
+- `apps/web/package.json`
+- `apps/web/src/api/client.ts`
+- `apps/web/src/api/types.ts`
+- `apps/web/src/components/Workspace.tsx`
+- `apps/web/src/components/MessageBubble.tsx`
+- `apps/web/src/components/panes/TerminalPane.tsx` (NEW)
+- `apps/web/src/lib/events.ts`
+- `apps/web/vite.config.ts` (proxy entries)
+
+**Already done by user — do not touch:**
+
+- `docker-compose.yml` (booterm service added)
+- `apps/server/src/schema.sql` (terminal CHECK constraint)
+- Live DB constraint applied
+
+## Verification
+
+1. `docker compose up -d --build booterm` → container healthy.
+2. `curl -s http://100.114.205.53:9501/api/term/health -H 'Remote-User: sam'` → 200.
+3. Browser smoke test:
+   - Open a session. Workspace → "+ Terminal" → terminal pane appears with shell prompt in project root.
+   - Type `ls -la` → output.
+   - Type `vim test.txt`, write something, save, `:q` → file exists on host (since rw mount).
+   - Refresh browser → terminal reconnects, history intact (tmux persistence).
+   - Open second terminal pane → same project, separate tmux window. Both work independently.
+   - Select code in chat → right-click → "Send to terminal" → terminal pane receives the text.
+   - Container restart (`docker compose restart booterm`) → on reconnect, tmux session resumes from where it left off.
+   - Close pane via tab context menu → tmux window killed. Reopen pane → fresh shell.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- node-pty is a native dep. Image size grows.
+- tmux history capped at 50k lines per window.
+- WebSocket frames are bidirectional binary; `binaryType = 'arraybuffer'`.
+- Resize debounced 100ms client-side; backend `tmux resize-window` per resize.
+- No chroot/namespace isolation in v1.1. User has full read+write under `/opt/`. Acceptable for single-user homelab.
+- Don't expose 9501 on 0.0.0.0. Tailscale binding only (already configured in compose).
+
+## Open
+
+- Color theme matching for xterm.js. Defer.
+- File-drop into terminal (upload via terminal pane). Out of scope.
+- Multi-user (each user gets own tmux server) — defer until BooCode goes multi-user, which isn't planned.
+- BooCoder container — same skeleton as booterm but with edit_file / create_file tools instead of PTY. Will follow this pattern when built.
