The event stream with filtering replaces statewait:
- echo filter | rdwrs event
Removed:
- statewait file from agent namespace
- All non-historical references in docs and code
The state file remains for simple polling reads.
The server event stream already delivers state change events for all
agents. Removed the redundant per-agent statewait streamer - now agent
switching has no teardown/startup overhead for state monitoring.
- Removed m_state streamer entirely
- State updates come via event stream's session.{sid}.agent.{aid}.state events
- Only chat stream needs per-agent setup/teardown
EventValue was storing only the latest event and using hash comparison,
which caused events to be overwritten if they arrived faster than the
client could read them.
Now eventwait uses Stream mode with EventStream which delivers each
event as it arrives. Events won't be lost due to rapid arrival.
Events can be missed if GUI wasn't connected when they were published.
Now checkPendingBypass() reads the bypass file directly when switching
agents/sessions to catch any pending requests.
Server changes:
- Session tracks pending bypass request and exposes methods
- New 9P files: session/{sid}/bypass (read/write), bypasswait (blocking)
- Publish bypass.request events for GUI listeners
GUI changes:
- Handle bypass.request events from eventwait
- Show inline amber banner with command and cwd
- Approve/Deny buttons resolve via 9P
Desktop notifications still work in parallel for non-GUI usage.
Switch streaming reads (chat, state, events) from subprocess-based
ollie-9p to native lib9p via worker threads. This eliminates:
- Process spawn/teardown overhead
- Subprocess failure modes
- Signal handling complexity
Lib9pStreamer uses QThread workers with blocking reads. On stop,
workers are given 200ms to exit cleanly, then abandoned (they'll
exit when the read completes or connection closes).
Also: make KRunner/Kate/KIO plugins optional in CMakeLists.txt
to fix build when KF6Runner etc aren't installed. Added
QT_DEFAULT_MAJOR_VERSION=6 to fix Qt6 detection with CMake 4.x.
Two bugs:
1. GUI sends 'agent=<profile>' but server only recognized 'profile='
- Added 'agent' as alias for 'profile' in parseAgentNewRequest
2. Model dropdown showed cost columns appended to model names
- /models format: backend<tab>model[<tab>in<tab>out...]
- Parser took everything after first tab as model name
- Now stops at second tab to extract just the model name
- Workflow() no longer defaults to 'conductor' when empty
- runWorkflow() returns immediately for '' or 'none'
- 'none' listed first in the workflows file output
- QML dropdowns default to 'none' instead of 'conductor'
- C++ fallback uses 'none' when server unreachable
- Add session-level cfg file (read: name/cwd/remote/workflow/variant/yolo;
write: workflow, variant, cwd)
- Add readSessionConfig() and updateSessionConfig() to C++ client
- NewSessionDialog supports editMode: pre-populates fields from session cfg,
title becomes 'Session Settings', button becomes 'Save'
- Name and Remote fields disabled in edit mode (non-reconfigurable)
- YOLO checkbox hidden in edit mode
- Only changed values are written back on save
- Add 'Settings...' to session context menu in SessionTree
- Wire sessionSettingsRequested signal through to dialog
- loadWorkflows() parses tab-separated 'name<TAB>variants' format
- Add variantsForWorkflow() to return variant list for a workflow
- Add m_workflowVariants map to cache per-workflow variant lists
- createSession() accepts variant parameter, passes to server
- QML: separate Workflow and Variant ComboBoxes
- Variant dropdown repopulates on workflow selection change
- 'default' always present; non-default variants pass through to launcher
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
