Same pattern as BlockOnce: framework handles the blocking loop.
readFn takes a base string, returns (data, nextBase, error).
signal fires when new data may be available.
Chat stream handlers now use Stream(a.ChatRead, a.ChatSignal).
StreamRaw retained for custom handlers.
streamChat() in support.go is now dead code (replaced by ChatRead).
BlockOnce now takes a value-reader and a signal source. The framework
handles the blocking loop: read → compare hash to base → if different
return → else wait on signal or timeout.
On timeout (ctx.Done), returns empty (not error) so clients re-open
cleanly.
BlockOnceRaw retained for queue-style handlers (bypass/pending,
proc/wait) that manage their own blocking.
EventValue adapter wraps a <-chan Event into BlockOnce-compatible
(readFn, signalFn) pair via a thin goroutine.
- BlockOnce handler initializes base to current hash on fresh open,
then blocks until hash changes. Same pattern as statewait.
- ConsumeFeed is a plain function: dials 9P, reads feed in a loop
(open → block → data → close → repeat), submits to agent.
- Context cancellation closes the 9P client, unblocking Read().
- Called as go ConsumeFeed(ctx, ag) from AddAgent and session resume.
Feed is now read-write (0666):
- Write: store data, signal via notifyChange
- Read (BlockOnce): block until content hash differs from base
Dedup lives in the read layer (same pattern as statewait). The
internal consumer goroutine and external 9P clients both call
FeedBlockingRead — same codepath, same dedup logic.
Consumer started from AddAgent (if ctx available) and session resume.
Feed is a write-only file in the agent namespace. Writes are
deduplicated against the previous value; the internal consumer
(blocking on WaitChange/WatchFeed) only wakes when genuinely new
data arrives.
Wiring is external and source-agnostic:
# human → observer (poll git):
while :; do git diff HEAD; sleep 5; done | ollie-9p write .../feed
# agent → observer (stream chat):
ollie-9p read .../coder/chat | ollie-9p write .../observer/feed
Uses the agent's existing signalCh/notifyChange plumbing — no new
channel infrastructure. Consumer goroutine spawned at agent creation
(AddAgent) and session resume, tied to session context.
- envLookup: provide XDG spec defaults (XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_DATA_HOME,
XDG_CACHE_HOME) when env vars are unset, so agent profile prompts
resolve correctly on systems without explicit XDG vars.
- renderTools: skip generated '## name' header when the tool's prompt
text already starts with a markdown header, eliminating duplicates.
- file_grep.meta: replace /home/user/project with /abs/path
- system_prompt.md: use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead of ~
- agent-copilot.md: use relative path in code block example
Fix holes where queued prompts were orphaned:
- After turn loop exits (interrupt, toolsrv unavailable), drain remaining FIFO items
- On panic recovery, pop next FIFO item and re-submit in a new goroutine
- fifo file write triggers Submit when agent is idle
Removed two inline 'Dead Ends and Reversals' tables scattered mid-document.
Added single comprehensive table at the end covering all reversals from all
phases — including hooks, event ring buffer, abstractions, namespace merges,
concurrent-by-default rejection, and every other thing that was built and
then killed.
Background processes now deliver completions as user prompts (queued via
the agent's prompt file) upon completion, not injected in-loop alongside
tool results.
Removed 'Open Problem: Concurrency' section — concurrent-by-default was
considered and rejected (sequential execution but slower and more expensive).
Replaced with a paragraph explaining the deliberate design choice.
- ResolveTool now returns cmd field as-is instead of trying to resolve
it as a binary path. This allows meta-only tools to use full shell
command strings with env vars, pipes, and subshells.
- Prepend ~/.config/ollie/tools to PATH when executing tools so cmd
fields can reference other tools by name.
- Delete TurnCtx struct (was progressively populated with optional nil fields)
- Convert run(), streamResponse(), execToolCalls(), execBatch(), execOne(),
trackErrors(), retryCountdown() to Agent methods
- Extract autoCompact() and popInject() as Agent methods
- turn.go now installs a turn-scoped output handler wrapper instead of
building TurnCtx closures
- context.Context is now passed as plain context.Context, not smuggled
with unrelated state
Add history compaction tests:
- TestBuildCompactedHistory_OrphanedToolWalkback: verifies walk-back logic
prevents orphaned tool messages at hot zone boundary
- TestBuildCompactedHistory_NoOrphanAtBoundary: verifies tool messages
always have preceding assistant with tool_calls
- toolsrv pushes <system-proc-complete> to agent prompt when bg proc exits
- Remove bgTracker and CollectInterrupts from olliesrv
- Add Cmd, AgentID, SessionID fields to Proc
- Add OnProcExit callback to State
- Add command field to Proc.Stat() output
- ListProcs() now queries toolsrv directly instead of local tracker
- Remove ownership verification from SignalProc/ProcOutput/DismissProc
- Clean up stale procs from local tracker when they disappear from toolsrv
- Document local tracker quirk in TODO.md for future cleanup
- Detach background proc context from request context so processes survive
after the 9P request returns (fixes premature SIGTERM)
- Add /proc/list file to toolsrv showing all procs with state
- Show status (running/exited (N)) in agent proc list
- Keep exited procs in tracker until explicitly dismissed
- Skip 'list' entry in ListDetachedRaw
- Explicitly tell model not to invoke tool scripts via filesystem path
- Add concrete examples of native tool calls vs shell
- Document context cancellation flow from interrupt to process kill
- Remove olliesrv's bypass broker machinery (pendingCh, EvaluateRequest, etc)
- Session bypass loop now just reads from toolsrv's bypass/pending and notifies
- Notification handler writes directly to toolsrv's bypass/resolve (fire and forget)
- Remove bypass/ directory from olliesrv's 9P namespace
- Remove session/*/bypass file (policy can be added back to toolsrv later if needed)
The flow is now:
1. toolsrv blocks tool execution, exposes request via bypass/pending
2. olliesrv reads from toolsrv, shows D-Bus notification
3. User clicks approve/deny, olliesrv writes to toolsrv's bypass/resolve
4. toolsrv unblocks and executes (or denies)
- Added BlockingReadMode() and StreamMode() handling to toolsrv's handleRead()
- Made NextPending() context-aware in both toolsrv and olliesrv bypass packages
- This fixes the bypass approval flow via 9P - reads now properly block until
a request is available and respect context cancellation
Wire context cancellation through the toolsrv 9P server so that
canceling a CallTool context properly terminates the running tool.
Changes:
- virtfs: Add Close() to File interface with CloseFn for Request handlers
- toolsrv/p9.go: Handle requests concurrently to allow Tclunk during
blocking Twrite; call entry.Close() in handleClunk
- toolsrv/internal/server/proc.go: Check ctx.Done() while waiting for
tool completion in NewProc
- Integration tests for context cancellation chain
The cancellation chain: client cancels ctx → fid.Close() → Tclunk →
handleClunk calls entry.Close() → closeFn cancels reqCtx → NewProc
sees ctx.Done() and returns ctx.Err()
bypass.Submit now takes a context and returns early when cancelled.
This allows the stop command to properly cancel pending bypass requests
that haven't been approved or denied yet.
The full context chain is now:
1. stop command -> Interrupt -> cancel actCtx
2. actCtx cancellation -> closes CallTool fid
3. toolsrv proc/new sees closed fid -> propagates ctx cancellation
4. ExecuteTool -> executeBypassDirect -> bypass.Submit
5. bypass.Submit returns ctx.Err() when context is cancelled
Remove RequestCtx variant - all Request handlers now take context.
This is required for proper cancellation of blocking operations
like tool execution when the client disconnects or stop is called.
