- Load ~/.config/ollie/env and set path defaults at startup (same as olliesrv)
- Remove hard exit on missing OLLIE_SESSION_ID; accept it from inherited env
or via set_env RPC (SSH bootstrap path)
- Wire OnEnvSet to propagate OLLIE_SESSION_ID into tool registry and process
env when it arrives dynamically; same for OLLIE_UNAME
ollie-remote was sending 'agent-<pid>' as the session identity to the
elevate broker, which never matches any real session. Now reads
OLLIE_SESSION_ID from inherited environment (set by the parent
olliesrv process) so the broker can validate the session exists.
With the zero-tools transition complete, the tools/builtin/ package
served no purpose — Builtins() returned nil. Removed:
- tools/builtin/builtins.go and the directory
- builtins field, WithBuiltins, Dispatch from toolsrv.Server
- Handler type from toolsrv (only used by builtins)
- OnPreDispatch/WithOnPreDispatch (dead code)
- Strict field and WithStrict (dead code, never read)
- CallTool simplified — no fallback to Dispatch
- builtin import and WithBuiltins/WithStrict calls from ollie-remote
- tools/builtin from justfile build/test targets
Updated AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, README.md, EVOLUTION.md
Delete dbus/dbus.go — the entire D-Bus SessionManager service is gone.
No more 150ms poll loop, no more signal emission, no more method handlers.
- Remove ollie/dbus import, nodbus flag, dbusAdapter variable
- Remove OnSessionCreated/Killed/Renamed hooks from Config
- Remove EnableDBus from Config
- Elevation notifications connect to session bus directly (godbus stays
as a dependency solely for org.freedesktop.Notifications)
All clients now use 9P exclusively. D-Bus is dead.
skill_list and skill_load are now external shell scripts (data/tools/).
Removed from builtins: SkillList, SkillLoad, SkillActive.
Removed: toolsrv/skills.go, tools/builtin/skill.go, WithSkillsRegistry,
SkillsRegistry accessor, ListSkillsTools.
ollie-remote no longer initializes a skills registry.
The demarcation: built-ins mutate agent internals (tool schema, context
injection). Skills are just file reads — no special treatment needed.
- Embed the full sandbox/default.yaml instead of sandbox-remote.yaml
so local ollie-remote subprocesses get proper sandbox permissions
(DNS, git config, etc.)
- justfile copies sandbox/default.yaml temporarily during build
- Register builtins + ToolRegistry + SkillsRegistry on ollie-remote
- Pdeathsig: kernel auto-SIGTERMs children when parent dies
- Cleanup: SIGTERM → 3s grace → SIGKILL (guaranteed kill)
- Atomic counter for unique socket paths (no collisions)
Execution is now identical for local and remote:
- Session calls Spawn()/SpawnRemote() → owns *Process with socket
- Clients call Dial(LocalAddr(socket)) → *Conn over Unix socket
- ollie-remote serves --listen mode with multi-client accept loop
- Builtins (shell, tool_load, skill_load) run in subprocess with registries
Lifecycle:
- Pdeathsig ensures children die with parent (no orphans)
- Cleanup: SIGTERM → 3s grace → SIGKILL (guaranteed)
- Socket paths use atomic counter for uniqueness
- Session Kill() closes Process
Protocol:
- Extended RPC: set_env, set_cwd, detach, list_detached, etc.
- Shell goes through builtin dispatch (parses 'cmd' field correctly)
- Streaming output via JSON-RPC notifications
Shell results were returned as raw strings but the agent expects
structured content blocks ({content:[{type:text,text:...}]}). Fixed
shell handler to return the same format as the local Server.CallTool.
Shell errors now return as isError content blocks rather than RPC
errors, matching local behavior (output is preserved in errors).
The default RPC handler now dispatches to srv.CallTool() for any
unknown method, enabling named tools (file_read, file_grep, etc.)
from the embedded tools to be called remotely.
ExecuteInSandbox uses StreamFunc(ctx) to emit partial output. The
context passed to it lacked a WithOutputStream callback, so no output
was ever streamed back to the client.
Fix: wrap ctx with WithOutputStream that encodes output as JSON-RPC
notifications (id=0, result={data:...}). The client side already
handles these via the outputNotification path in CallTool.
- Rewrite cmd/ollie-remote to use toolsrv.Server API (was using non-existent
ollie/pkg/tools and ollie/pkg/tools/execute packages)
- Restore tools/_lib/ from pre-flatten branch (was lost in migration)
- Remove stray go.mod/go.sum from cmd/Ollie, cmd/ollie-httpgw, cmd/ollie-remote
- Update justfile: ollie-remote target copies tools from contrib/tools/
- Remove leftover root prompts/ directory
