The package defines the Server type and its namespace — 'fs' was a
leftover name from when it only held the filesystem spec. Now it's
the server definition. File renamed spec.go → server.go to match.
Each() now returns []FsNodeDecl directly. The Binding type was a
redundant subset of FsNodeDecl with a slightly different Remove
signature. Dynamic entries are now expressed uniformly — Remove,
Rename, Children, Aliases all live on FsNodeDecl like everything else.
Also added: Alias() and RenameNode() options, DirNode accepts
[]FsNodeDecl for passing pre-built child slices.
Spec() now takes *Server and all handlers are closures that capture it.
Removed Ctx type, type aliases, and separate handler functions.
The tree structure and behavior are declared together in one place.
The registry was keyed by agent ID but read it from a shared env map
(st.env["OLLIE_UNAME"]) that all agents overwrote — making it
effectively per-session with a race condition.
Fix: pass agent ID explicitly through the protocol at every call site.
- ctl protocol: 'load <agentID> <tool>', 'unload <agentID> <tool>'
- tools file: rdwr (Request) — write agent ID, read filtered list
- proc/new payload: 'agent=<id>' field required
- Client: SetAgentID() stores identity, included in all operations
- Empty agent ID is a hard error everywhere
- Setting OLLIE_UNAME via env ctl is blocked (prevents reintroduction)
Tools are now scoped per-agent within a session. The registry uses
OLLIE_UNAME (agent identity) to partition loaded tools. Each agent
sees only its own tools — load/unload/list/lookup all key on the
agent ID read from the toolsrv environment.
One toolsrv per session means the session-scoped map was unnecessary
indirection. Registry now tracks a flat map of loaded tools with no
session ID parameter. This eliminates the class of bugs where sessID
could be empty or mismatched between Load and Loaded calls.
Shell doesn't expand ~ in programmatically-passed arguments, so
toolsrv received literal ~/src/ollie as --cwd. Go's os/exec fails
with ENOENT on chdir before exec, breaking all tool execution.
Expand ~ at two boundaries:
- main.go: immediately after flag parsing
- proc.go SetCWD(): for runtime cwd changes via 9P
- Background procs get timeout=0 (no deadline) set by toolsrv at
the execution layer — not injected as an arg from olliesrv.
Foreground default remains 30s. User can still override via args.
- Timeout logic simplified: caller sets default, ExecuteTool honors it.
- System prompt: clarify background has no timeout, uses 'stop' not 'kill'
- architecture.md: document lifecycle (connection-based ownership)
- evolution.md: update interrupt section with streaming, lifecycle, id= format
- README.md: add parallel execution to capabilities table
- KillAll(): sends SIGKILL to all running proc groups on clean shutdown
- Pdeathsig: SIGKILL ensures child procs die if toolsrv crashes
- Shell tool: use subshell + set +e for streaming without exit propagation
- Fix integration test to match new error format
This is the connection-based ownership model: toolsrv death = proc death.
The session owns the toolsrv process, so session death cascades to all procs.
- Timeout: timeout=0 means no deadline (was defaulting to 30s)
- Signal: send to process group (-pgid) not just process; SIGTERM no longer
cancels context (only SIGKILL does); cmd.Cancel sends SIGTERM with 5s WaitDelay
- Streaming: background procs stream output in real-time via procWriter;
shell tool no longer buffers all output into a bash variable
- Proc tree: olliesrv exposes proc/{id}/out, proc/{id}/ctl, proc/{id}/status
as proper 9P directory (was broken flat file)
- Connection: proc handlers dial fresh toolsrv conn per request via
Session.DialToolServer() to avoid deadlocking the agent's blocked conn
- Stat format: key=value (exited=true, exit_code=N, id=N) matching client parser
- GC: procs auto-removed 10min after LastRead (exited procs only)
- Rename: PID -> ID throughout (synthetic, not OS PID)
- Ctl commands: term (SIGTERM), kill (SIGKILL), signal <n>, dismiss
- System prompt: correct ollie-9p commands for proc management
When a tool call includes "background": true, it executes via
proc/new.bg and returns immediately with a PID in a
<system-proc-background> tag. The agent tracks active background
processes and injects their output as <system-proc-interrupt> blocks
alongside subsequent tool results.
The model sees background updates without polling. It can react to
build failures, log events, etc. naturally. Kill via PID when done.
Implementation:
- toolsrv client: CallToolBackground (uses proc/new.bg as rdwr)
- toolsrv: proc/new.bg upgraded from write-only to request-response
- agent: bgTracker collects last 20 lines of output per proc
- agent loop: injects interrupts after execToolCalls, before h.update
- system prompt: documents the background mechanism and rules
- Move toolsrv logic into internal/{fs,exec,registry} packages to match
olliesrv's structure. server.go (9P protocol) stays at top level.
- Deduplicate parseKV/parsePayload: remove dead code from old spec9p.go,
single implementation in internal/fs/parse.go.
- Add structured logging via log/slog (replaces fmt.Fprintf to stderr).
- Standardize qid path hashing to fnv.New64a (matches olliesrv).
- Fix toolsrv process leaks:
- Add Pdeathsig to local spawn so toolsrv dies when olliesrv exits.
- Add idle timeout (30s with no connections after first client seen).
- ProcessKeeper.Dial() kills old process before respawning.
