- 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
Replace subprocess spawning (run9p) with native 9P connection for hot paths:
- refreshSessions() - called on every sessionsChanged event
- loadRootBackends() - called on daemon connect
- loadRootAgents() - called on daemon connect
Lib9pClient wraps the Go shared library with a Qt-friendly C++ API.
Connection persists across operations, eliminating ~2-5ms per-call
process spawn overhead.
Requires libollie9p.so from parent repo's lib9p/ package.
- Add chatblockmodel.cpp and thememanager.cpp to KF5 GUI target
- Link KF5::ConfigCore and KF5::SyntaxHighlighting to GUI
- Strip Qt6-only grouped palette syntax from QML at configure time
(ThemeManager::applyPalette handles palette via QGuiApplication)
- Fix QStringList brace-init ambiguity in Qt5
- Fix QList::remove(pos,count) not available in Qt5 (use erase)
- Introduce StreamFsm class wrapping QProcess lifecycle with
Oneshot/Looping/Guarded restart policies
- Replace raw QProcess management in Ollie9pClient with StreamFsm
- Fix chatblockmodel FSM to properly handle [[[end]]] and fence
transitions with a combined State enum (Outside/InBlock/InFence)
- Add Q_INVOKABLE to setActiveSessionId for direct QML access
- Add streamfsm.cpp to CMakeLists.txt for both KF5 and KF6 builds
- Add fence state machine (NoFence → InFence) to ChatBlockModel
- On closing ```, render via KSyntaxHighlighting or inline diff colorizer
- Store rendered HTML in ChatBlock.renderedHtml, emit dataChanged on RenderedHtmlRole
- QML shows RichText Label when renderedHtml is populated, falls back to PlainText
- Add KF6::SyntaxHighlighting dependency for ollie-gui target
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.
Kill the entire D-Bus rendering pipeline. The GUI now uses plan9port's
9p command as a subprocess for all server communication:
- Chat streaming: persistent 'read chat' process, readyReadStandardOutput
delivers tokens directly to QML (no polling, no signals, no offsets)
- State: 'read statewait' process, restarts on each state change
- Session list: 'read session/idx' one-shot
- Submit/stop/kill: 'write prompt/ctl' one-shot
The QML is stripped to fundamentals: session list + monospace streaming
text (last 8KB tail) + input field. No ChatBlockModel, no ThemeManager,
no OllieDBusClient, no syntax highlighting, no markdown rendering.
This eliminates the multi-second GUI freezes caused by:
- QTextDocument relayout on 200KB+ accumulated text
- loadEarlier cascade creating hundreds of delegates
- KSyntaxHighlighting::Repository blocking init
- Offset mismatch triggering synchronous D-Bus calls
Features will be re-added incrementally on this proven foundation.
D-Bus retained only for plasmoid/tray/KRunner (desktop integration).
- Detect mermaid/plantuml/drawio/mxgraph code fences as 'diagram' sub-blocks
- Render via local servers (PlantUML :8080, Mermaid :8081, draw.io :8082)
- Fall back to CLI tools (plantuml, mmdc, drawio) if servers unavailable
- Cache rendered SVGs in ~/.cache/*/diagrams/ keyed by content hash
- Show rendered image with white background (dark theme friendly)
- Collapsible source toggle (▶/▼) below rendered diagram
- Middle-click to invalidate cache and re-render
- Left-click opens fullscreen pannable/zoomable viewer
- Fullscreen: scroll-wheel zoom, drag to pan, Esc/right-click/dbl-click to close
- Both kf5 and kf6 builds
- Kate plugin: ktexteditor -> kf6/ktexteditor (KF6), kf5/ktexteditor (KF5)
- Add 99-ollie.sh plasma env script for QT_PLUGIN_PATH and QML_IMPORT_PATH
- Plugins now found without sudo or system-wide install
Detect video URLs (YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Twitch, direct media)
in chat responses. Direct .mp4/.webm/.ogv files play inline via
QtMultimedia Video. Other video sites show a card with play button
that opens in the system browser.
Adds Qt6::Multimedia dependency.
Major refactor: extracted chat UI into ChatPane.qml (self-contained
with own ChatBlockModel, D-Bus signal filtering, prompt input).
Main content area is now a SplitView with dynamic pane creation.
Auto-layout: splits horizontal if window wider than tall.
Sidebar click updates the focused pane session.
New OllieDBusClient methods: getChat, getConfig, getState (per-session).
New signal: chatAppended (emitted for all sessions, not just active).
Circular node layout showing all sessions with peer relationship edges.
Nodes are color-coded by state (green=idle, blue=thinking, orange=calling),
pulse when active. Click a node to select that session.
Toggle between list and graph view in sidebar toolbar.
Adds peerList() to OllieDBusClient.
Replace flat TextArea chat view with structured ListView:
- ChatBlockModel parses raw chat text into typed blocks (user,
assistant, reasoning, call, tool, error, info)
- Sub-blocks parsed from markdown: prose, fenced code, diffs
- Code blocks rendered with KSyntaxHighlighting (auto light/dark theme)
- Diff blocks with red/green line coloring
- Copy button on code and diff blocks
- File paths linkified and clickable (opens with xdg-open)
- Reasoning/call/tool blocks collapsible (click to expand)
- User blocks highlighted with subtle accent background
- Error blocks in red
- Scroll pinning preserved (auto-scroll when at bottom)
- 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)
Adds OllieGhostProvider that renders AI completions as translucent
gray text after the cursor. Uses the new Complete D-Bus method with
500ms debounce. Tab accepts, Escape dismisses, any edit clears.
Works on both KF5 and KF6 builds.
- Remove placeholderText from QML palette block (not available in Qt5)
- Use theme.placeholderTextColor directly instead of palette.placeholderText
- Add Qt version guards for QFontDatabase static vs instance API
- Add Qt version guard for QVariant::typeId vs QVariant::type
- Link KF5::ConfigCore for ollie-gui KF5 build
Session list with create/kill/rename, chat view, prompt input,
folder dialogs for cwd. Reuses OllieDBusClient from plasmoid plugin.
Supports both Qt5 (KF5) and Qt6 (KF6) builds.
plasmashell is QGuiApplication so QFileDialog (QtWidgets) cannot work.
Use org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser.OpenFile via D-Bus instead.
Also fix StandardPaths ReferenceError in main.qml.
QML FolderDialog does not work inside the plasmoid sandbox.
Move folder selection to C++ via QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory
and expose as createSessionWithDialog(). Applies to both kf5 and kf6.
- Side panel (right dock) with live chat view, streaming via ChatUpdated
- Prompt input at bottom, enter to send
- Context actions: 'Ask File' (describe current file), 'Explain' (explain selection)
- Auto-creates session in current file's directory
- Adopts existing sessions on load
- 'ollie <prompt>': one-shot mode (create, submit, await, notify, kill)
- 'ollie list': show active sessions with state
- 'ollie kill <id>': terminate a session
- KNotification shows result when one-shot completes
- Installs to /usr/lib64/qt6/plugins/kf6/krunner/
- KStatusNotifierItem with status indication (passive/active/attention)
- Tooltip: session count and active count
- Right-click menu: New Session, Sessions submenu (per-session kill),
Stop All, Quit Daemon
- Live updates via D-Bus signals (SessionCreated, SessionKilled,
StateChanged)
- Builds as ollie-tray (104KB), links KF6StatusNotifierItem + Qt6
- lib/capi.go: 18 cgo exports wrapping ollie/core (session lifecycle,
interaction, state queries, callbacks)
- daemon/: Qt6 D-Bus service (org.ollie.SessionManager) bridging C API
to D-Bus methods/signals
- Makefile: orchestrates Go c-shared build then CMake build
