- Build the completion prompt inline (mirrors agent/complete.go prompt)
- Call ollie-9p rdwr generate instead of ollie-9p rdwr complete
- Pass backend/model as JSON fields in the generate request
- StripCompletionNoise and stripPrefixEcho moved into C++ helpers
Available without text selection. Ensures a kate session/agent exists
(reuses existing or creates new), sets cwd to the current project
directory, and updates the status bar.
The overlay now draws a semi-opaque background (editor base color
tinted slightly toward highlight) so continuation lines are clearly
distinguished from the underlying document text. Re-enabled the
multi-line overlay since it's now visually distinct from real content.
- Background at 92% opacity with subtle highlight tint
- Ghost text at 60% opacity (up from 40%)
- Small padding around overlay content
Adds a Settings → Configure Kate → Plugins → Ollie config page with a
checkbox to enable/disable automatic ghost text completion. The setting
persists via KConfig and is applied when the ghost provider is created.
Instead of one-agent-per-project-directory, reuse the first agent in
the kate session. When the project changes, write the new directory
to the agent's ctl file (cwd command). Simpler model — one kate
session, one agent, cwd follows the active project.
Sends selected text wrapped in a code fence with the appropriate language
(derived from Kate's highlighting mode). Useful for pasting code snippets
directly to the agent without any surrounding prompt text.
Adds a heartbeat timer (5s interval) that pings the 9P server with a
cheap read. If the server goes down, the status bar turns red showing
'disconnected'. When it comes back, the plugin reconnects and
re-selects the agent for the current project.
Status bar now shows connection state:
- Red '✗ disconnected' — server unreachable
- Gray '○ no agent' — connected but no agent selected
- Green '● kate/ID' — connected with active agent
- Don't show inline ghost note when cursor is mid-line (text exists
after cursor) — the ghost would visually conflict with real content
- Only show multi-line overlay when cursor is near EOF, so continuation
lines don't paint on top of existing document lines
- Tab-accept still works regardless of visual display
- Rewrite README.md with accurate 9P-based architecture
- Remove all D-Bus dependencies:
- Update dolphin/ollie-ask to use ollie-9p rdwr generate
- Update kate/ollie_ghost.cpp to use ollie-9p rdwr complete
- Remove QDBusInterface from ollie_ghost.h
- Fix OllieGhostProvider constructor in ollie_kate.cpp
- Remove D-Bus comments from gui/main.cpp and kate/ollie_kate.cpp
- Remove QtDBus from CMakeLists.txt (KF5 and KF6)
- Delete D-Bus test scripts test-e2e.sh and test-peers.sh
- Clarify no system tray component exists
- Update build/install instructions with just commands
- newAgent() is idempotent: selects existing agent by cwd if one exists
- Use rdwr() to get new agent ID from server instead of ls() ordering
- selectAgentForProject() returns bool for caller branching
- Connect to Kate project plugin projectChanged signal
- Update chat block parser to [[[type]]] / [[[end]]] format
- Guard pluginViewCreated for KF5 < 5.78
switchToSession() was loading the log but never starting the
streaming processes. New output from the agent was never delivered.
Now: stopStreams → load log → startChatStream + startStateStream.
Replace all 28+ D-Bus call sites with 9P operations via plan9port's
9p command. Chat streaming via persistent QProcess reading the chat
file. State updates via statewait process restart loop.
Ghost text provider disabled (needs separate 9P port).
The entire KDE submodule is now D-Bus-free for server communication.
D-Bus is only used internally by KDE frameworks (KRunner plugin loading,
KStatusNotifierItem, etc.) — not for ollie protocol.
- KRunner: rewritten to use plan9port 9p command for all operations
(list sessions, kill, one-shot generate). No D-Bus dependency.
- Tray: removed. Was a thin D-Bus status wrapper, not useful enough
to justify maintaining.
- Plasmoid: removed. GUI is standalone now.
- Kate: temporarily disabled in CMake. Header partially converted to
9P (D-Bus includes removed, QProcess/9P helpers declared). Full
conversion is next.
- All ninepBin() helpers use $PLAN9/bin/9p (not hardcoded path).
- CMake: removed Qt5::DBus, KF5::Notifications, KF5::Plasma deps.
Only remaining link deps: Qt5::Core, Qt5::Widgets, Qt5::Quick,
Qt5::QuickControls2, KF5::Runner.
QTextDocument::setHtml was called while the document was still
tearing down from clear(). Defer refreshSessions to the next
event loop iteration with QTimer::singleShot(0, ...).
MovingRanges are owned by the document. When the document is destroyed,
it deletes its ranges. If clearAnnotations is called after the document
is gone (e.g., view changed), qDeleteAll double-frees. Track the owning
document with QPointer and only delete ranges if it's still alive.
Only render the last 40 blocks eagerly. Earlier messages are
lazy-loaded in chunks of 20 as the user scrolls up. This fixes
the progressive slowdown that occurred during long sessions where
the full HTML re-render on every ChatUpdated signal became O(n)
on the entire conversation history.
Register an action with the gitplusplus plugin (kate-worktree) that
appears in the Git++ tree view context menu. When triggered, it reads
the computed diff from the gitplusplus lastDiff property and submits
it to the active ollie session for review.
Also adds a "Review Diff" entry to the standard KTextEditor context
menu when the document has Diff highlighting mode (fallback path).
Code fences with /path:start-end on the fence line get parsed.
Apply replaces that line range in the target file.
Fallback: insert at cursor or replace selection.
agent-copilot.md instructs model to produce ranged fences.
Context menu: right-click selection shows Fix/Refactor/Add tests/Document
actions that submit the selection with file+line context to the agent.
Apply button: code blocks in assistant messages get a clickable Apply
button that inserts the code into the target file (detected from
preceding prose) or the active document.
Inline annotations: file:line references in agent output are highlighted
with MovingRanges in the active editor view.
setHtml() resets the document layout. sb->setValue(sb->maximum()) was
reading a stale maximum before relayout completed. Use moveCursor(End)
+ ensureCursorVisible() which forces layout and scrolls reliably.
Also: fix session list state updates destroying delegates (rename fix)
already included in previous commit.
Replace single-line TextField/QLineEdit with multi-line TextArea/QPlainTextEdit.
Enter sends, Shift+Enter and Ctrl+J insert newlines. Max height capped so the
input area does not take over the panel.
- Kate: add always-visible stop button next to prompt input
- All front-ends: sort sessions alphabetically by ID
- All front-ends: only auto-scroll chat if at bottom, show
floating go-to-bottom button when scrolled away
- CMakeLists: set KDE_INSTALL_PLUGINDIR to QT6_INSTALL_PLUGINS
so plugins install to lib64/qt6/plugins/ (where Kate looks)
m_ghost was parented to the view, so Qt parent-child cleanup could
destroy it when a view was replaced. The raw pointer remained non-null,
causing a double-free on the next viewChanged signal.
Fix by using QPointer<OllieGhostProvider> which auto-nulls on destroy.
Also replace qobject_cast with dynamic_cast for KF5 KTextEditor
interfaces to avoid crashes when qt_metacast accesses uninitialized
KateViewConfig during early view activation.
The GhostOverlay is parented to the view widget and gets destroyed by
Qt child cleanup before ~OllieGhostProvider runs. Stop calling
hideOverlay() in destructor, connect destroyed() signal to null the
pointer.
