- Workflow() no longer defaults to 'conductor' when empty

write: workflow, variant, cwd)
- Add readSessionConfig() and updateSessionConfig() to C++ client
- NewSessionDialog supports editMode: pre-populates fields from session cfg,

- YOLO checkbox hidden in edit mode
- Only changed values are written back on save
- Add 'Settings...' to session context menu in SessionTree

Session creation now requires cwd= parameter (no fallback to daemon cwd).
Agent cwd is read-only — agents inherit from session, cannot override.
Frontends updated:
- NewSessionDialog: added Directory field with Browse button
- NewAgentDialog: removed Directory field
- createAgent(): removed cwd parameter
- Kate plugin: passes cwd when creating kate session
- Dolphin: removed cwd from agent/new call
Message history sanitization (backend.SanitizeMessages):
- Removes dangling tool calls (assistant with ToolCalls but missing results)
- Removes orphan tool results (tool message without preceding call)
- Applied before sub-agent context inheritance
- Applied before session persistence save
- Applied after compaction (defensive)
Includes unit tests for all sanitization cases.
Server:
- session/idx now outputs: session-id, session-name, paused, connected, remote, cwd
- session/{s}/agent/idx now outputs: session-id, agent-id, agent-name, parent-id, depth, state
- Add error if parent agent not found during sub-agent spawn
GUI:
- refreshSessions() reads session index, then agent/idx per session
- Auto-select first top-level agent (depth 0) instead of first in list
- SessionModel tracks agent expansion separately from session expansion
- Agents with children show expand/collapse arrows and are collapsible
- Add hasChildren role to SessionModel
Tools:
- subagent_spawn now passes parent= argument for proper depth tracking
- Remove hardcoded max_depth=5, use server default of 1
- Makefile installs shell script tools from data/tools/
KRunner:
- Update to parse new session/idx format
- Workflows are executable scripts in data/workflows/
- New 'workflows' 9P file lists available workflows
- Goal file stores text; writing triggers workflow if status allows
- goalstatus file for status read/write, goalwait for blocking
- Session ctl accepts 'run [workflow]' command
- Session now owns CWD; agents inherit via callback
- Conductor workflow: creates agent, primes with instructions, exits
- GUI workflow combo reads from workflows, not agents
- Persistence includes goal, goalstatus, workflow, and session CWD
chat — strips [[[...]]] markers and source fences at the byte level.
Partial lines pass through immediately for true streaming. Terminals
and text editors use this.
chat.raw — full block-structured stream with markers and fences.
GUIs that parse blocks (KDE, web) use this.
The TUI no longer pipes through grep (which was line-buffering and
killing char-by-char streaming since Aug 4).
The stripMarkers state machine processes each chunk from the server:
- Complete lines starting with [[[ and ending with ]]] → dropped
- Fence lines (```...) → dropped (open toggles in-fence state)
- Partial lines (no trailing \n) → always emitted immediately
- Everything else → passed through
Previously, Go binaries and scripts installed to ~/bin while cmake
(KDE) installed to ~/.local/bin. This caused stale binaries in ~/bin
to shadow fresh builds since ~/bin comes first on PATH.
- Change bin variable from ~/bin to ~/.local/bin
- Add migrate-bin target to clean stale ~/bin copies
- Run migrate-bin automatically during install
The system prompt tool listing now refreshes immediately on tool_load
instead of only on file-watcher events. buildToolListing helper added
to format the listing in the same format BuildPreamble uses.
Also updates kde submodule: GUI auto-switches to newly created agent,
removes remote field from agent dialog.
- Move FormatEvent to format/ package for reuse by both live handler
and replay
- Move LoadConfig to agent/ package where it belongs
- Remove log validator (was noisy, not essential)
- Update replay to use FormatEvent for consistent output format
- Update kde submodule with GUI streaming fix
- Extract all [[[block]]] formatting constants/helpers into format/format.go
(EndTag, RoleDelim, ToolDelim, CallDelim, BlockHeader, ParseBlockHeader, IsEndMarker)
- Replace switch/case ctl dispatchers in fs/handlers.go with generic
ctlDispatch() from new fs/ctl.go
- Add LogValidator state machine to AgentLog enforcing:
- Every [[[block]]] MUST have an [[[end]]] marker
- Blocks SHALL NOT be nested
- Streaming line buffering across partial writes
- Fatal failure on first violation with line-number reporting
- UnclosedAtTeardown() for session/agent teardown checks
- Fix kde/kate ollie_ghost compile: stripPrefixEcho signature mismatch
- Skip SetupToolServer for paused sessions during restore
- Pause() and Resume() now persist state to disk
- Resume() sets up tool server from scratch for sessions restored paused
- IsConnected() returns false when paused
- Add SetPaused(), SetToolServer() methods
- ProcessKeeper.SetContext() for resume after pause
- Session index sorts active-first, paused-last
- CreateAgent accepts name= parameter
- Remove duplicate SetCwd method
- CreateEmpty(name, remote) now spawns remote toolsrv when remote is set
- requestSessionNew parses remote= argument
- Add Session.SetRemote() method
- Update kde submodule
The 9P logger was hardcoded to LevelDebug, causing all 9P operations
to print timing info to stdout. This blocked the server on terminal
output, hurting GUI responsiveness.
Now uses NewLogger('9p') which:
- Defaults to the sink's level (warn)
- Can be overridden with OLLIE_9P_LOG=debug
Also updates kde submodule with incremental session tree updates.
Nodes in the 9P namespace can now declare alternate names (Aliases)
that resolve during Twalk but are invisible in directory listings.
Session dirs alias their immutable RunnableID(), agent dirs alias
their ID(). Clients can use session/{uuid}/agent/{uuid}/... paths
that remain valid across renames.
Changes:
- fs/fsnode.go: Add Aliases []string field, Alias() NodeOption
- fs/builder.go: findChild checks aliases via matchAlias helper
- fs/sessionfiles.go: Session dirs get Alias(s.RunnableID())
- fs/agentfiles.go: Agent dirs get Alias(a.ID())
- fs/spec.go: Add /aliases file (read-only alias→path table)
- fs/rootfiles.go: readAliases handler
- fs/lifecycle.go: buildIndex includes immutable ID in session/idx
- doc/edsl.md: Document Aliases field and behavior
- prompts: Update session/idx format documentation
The KDE GUI submodule now uses immutable IDs in all 9P paths,
fixing disconnected indicators after session rename.
BREAKING CHANGE: /session/eventwait is removed. Use /eventwait instead.
The old event system had several problems:
1. eventwait lived inside /session/ (per-session) but events are global
2. It returned the entire session index on every event, growing unboundedly
3. No structured event data — consumers couldn't tell WHAT happened
New design:
- Global /eventwait at the root of the 9P namespace
- Events are structured delta lines: '<scope> <action> <path>'
e.g. 'S new session/foo', 'A kill session/foo/agent/bar'
- Ring buffer capped at 100 events (bounded memory)
- Offset-based blocking reads (consumers track position)
- Per-event granularity: S=new/kill/rename, A=new/kill/rename
Call sites updated:
- Session create → 'S new session/{name}'
- Agent create → 'A new session/{name}/agent/{aid}'
- Session kill → 'A kill ...' per agent + 'S kill session/{name}'
- Session rename → 'S rename session/{old} session/{new}'
- Agent rename → 'A rename session/{name}/agent/{old} ...'
KDE GUI updated to use ollie-9p read /eventwait instead of
plan9port 9p read session/eventwait.
Without LongBlock, statewait is treated as one-shot: first read
returns current state, second read returns EOF. The GUI had to
restart the connection in a tight loop to keep polling.
With LongBlock=true, the 9P server blocks the read indefinitely
until the agent's state actually changes. The per-fid waitBase
tracks the previous state value so the next read blocks until a
real change. The GUI opens statewait once and reads from it
continuously — no reconnect loop needed.
