But the UX +around the execution was wrong. + +--- + +## Findings + +### F1 — Two approvals instead of one (BLOCKER, misclassification + prose) + +**What happened:** The agent proposed a 6-step plan and immediately started +executing steps 1-2 (read-only inspection: `docker compose logs`, +`docker compose ps`). Both `run` calls were classified as `config_mutation` +and queued for individual approval. The operator saw two approval cards +instead of one plan-level approval. + +**Root cause A — `docker compose` subcommands missing from read-only +allowlist.** `internal/policy/command.go:69-78` has `docker\s+(ps|images| +inspect|logs|version|info|stats)` but NOT `docker compose` subcommands. +`docker compose logs` and `docker compose ps` are read-only inspection +verbs that the classifier escalates to `config_mutation`. This is the same +class of bug as the `find` omission from the Proton Drive audit (P4). + +**Root cause B — agent didn't stop after proposing.** The `propose_plan` +return text says "If any step is config_mutation/destructive, STOP and wait +for operator approval." The agent ignored this — it started executing in the +same turn. This is prose enforcement, not structural. Combined with root +cause A, the read-only steps generated approval cards. + +### F2 — Agent indicator stuck at "Approval: Check WhatsApp bridge..." (FRICTION) + +**What happened:** After the session completed (status=`done`), the agent +indicator at the bottom of the chat stayed stuck showing "Approval: Check +WhatsApp bridge container status on elementsynapse" with a spinner. + +**Root cause:** `web/src/lib/stores/activity.ts:131-150` creates an +`approval` entry with `status: 'running'` whenever a tool result contains +"requires approval." This entry is **never transitioned to `done`** — the +derived store rebuilds from messages on every poll, but the approval entry +is always set to `status: 'running'` (line 146). The `AgentIndicator` +(`Chat.svelte:153`) shows the first `running` entry from `$activityLog`, +so it latches onto the stale approval entry and never clears. + +There's no mechanism to check whether the execution has actually completed +— the activity store derives purely from tool-call text, not execution +status from the API. + +### F3 — Green "Completed in 1s on lxc:..." boxes in chat (COSMETIC) + +**What happened:** Green success cards (`InlineApproval.svelte:154-163`) +rendered inline in the chat message stream for each completed execution. + +**Root cause:** `Chat.svelte:144-146` renders `` inside +each message bubble when `msg.pendingApprovals.length > 0`. The +`InlineApproval` component shows the full approval lifecycle (pending → +running → completed/failed) inline in the chat. The operator considers +this noise — execution results belong in the activity sidebar, not in the +chat stream. The chat should show the agent's text + tool call summary, not +approval UX. + +### F4 — 98 stale non-terminal executions (COSMETIC, ops debt) + +**What happened:** 98 executions in non-terminal states +(39 `running`, 19 `pending_approval`, 3 `approved`, 37 more `running` +orphaned) from eval testing. + +**Breakdown:** +- 39 `running` executions from `apt_upgrade:audit` actions — these were + created by the MCP `run` handler, then the MCP call timed out (30s + context deadline), leaving the execution in `running` state forever. + Not linked to any session (orphaned). +- 19 `pending_approval` — config_mutation `run` calls that were queued for + approval but never approved/denied (eval sessions that completed without + resolving them). +- 3 `approved` — approved but never executed (the execution dispatch + failed or timed out). + +**Root cause:** No startup or periodic cleanup of stale executions. The +`run` handler creates an execution entity BEFORE attempting SSH — if the +SSH call times out or the MCP connection drops, the execution is +orphaned in `running` state. `completeTask` cancels pending approvals for +its own session, but nothing cleans up orphaned executions or old +sessions' leftovers. + +--- + +## Improvement plan + +### P1 — Add `docker compose` read-only subcommands to allowlist + +**Fix:** `internal/policy/command.go` — add to `readOnlyLeadPattern`: +`docker\s+compose\s+(logs|ps|top|config|images|port|cp)\b`. +Do NOT add `docker compose exec` or `docker compose run` — these execute +arbitrary commands and must stay gated. + +Add unit test case: `"docker compose logs --tail=100"` → `read_only`. + +**Severity:** blocker (directly caused the two-approval issue). +**Files:** `internal/policy/command.go:69-78`, `command_test.go`. + +### P2 — Fix stuck agent indicator + +**Fix:** `web/src/lib/stores/activity.ts:131-150` — the approval entries +are always `status: 'running'` and never transition. Two options: + +**Option A (recommended): Remove approval entries from activityLog +entirely.** They're already rendered as `InlineApproval` cards in the chat +(or, after P3, in the Operations page). Duplicating them in the activity +log causes the stuck indicator — the activity store derives from tool-call +text, not execution status, so it can't know when the execution completed. +Removing them means `AgentIndicator` won't latch onto stale approval +entries. + +**Option B: Fetch execution status.** When building approval entries, +call `getExecution(execId)` to check the real status. This is more +correct but adds async API calls to a synchronous derived store — would +require restructuring the store to be async or pre-fetching statuses. + +**Decision:** Option A — simpler, eliminates the bug class. If the +operator wants approval status in the activity sidebar, that's a separate +feature that should use the REST `/approvals` endpoint (already used by +`context.ts` and `Ops.svelte`), not text parsing of tool results. + +**Severity:** friction. +**Files:** `web/src/lib/stores/activity.ts:131-150`. + +### P3 — Move InlineApproval out of chat, into activity sidebar + +**Fix:** Remove `` from `Chat.svelte:144-146`. The chat +stream shows only the agent's text + `ToolCallGroup` (the compact tool +counter). Approval UX (Approve/Deny buttons, completed/failed cards) +moves to the Operations page (already has it via `Ops.svelte`) and/or a +dedicated approval panel in the sidebar. + +The `pendingApprovals` field on `ChatMessage` can stay (for counting +badges in the session rail), but the inline rendering is removed. + +**Migration:** `InlineApproval.svelte` is not deleted — it's reused in +the Operations page or a new sidebar approval panel. The component's +props (`PendingApproval[]`) and API (`getExecution`, `decideApproval`) +stay the same. + +**Severity:** cosmetic. +**Files:** `web/src/pages/Chat.svelte:144-146`. + +### P4 — Stale execution cleanup + +**Fix:** Add a startup cleanup + periodic sweep in nomos: + +1. **Startup cleanup:** on `nomos serve` boot, mark all non-terminal + executions older than 1 hour as `cancelled` with result + `{"message": "cleaned up at startup — stale from prior session"}`. + This handles the 98 stale executions from eval testing. + +2. **Run handler fix:** in `internal/mcp/server.go` `classifyAndGate`, + the execution entity is created (line 1284-1293) BEFORE the SSH call. + If the SSH call fails or times out, the execution is already marked + `running` but never transitions. The error paths (lines 1315-1321, + 1333-1340, etc.) already mark `failed` — but the MCP client timeout + (30s, in `agent.go`'s `client.callTool`) kills the connection before + the error path runs. Fix: move the execution entity creation to AFTER + the SSH call succeeds, or add a `running` → `failed` timeout sweep. + +3. **Periodic sweep:** add a 5-minute timer (like the continuation + worker) that marks executions in `running` state for more than 10 + minutes as `failed` with result `{"message": "execution timed out"}`. + This catches orphaned executions that the run handler didn't clean up. + +**Severity:** cosmetic (ops debt, not a functional bug). +**Files:** `cmd/nomos/main.go` (startup), `internal/mcp/server.go` +(run handler), `cmd/nomos/continue.go` (periodic sweep). + +### P5 — Enforce "stop after proposing a plan with config_mutation steps" + +**Fix:** This is the structural enforcement gap behind the "agent didn't +stop after proposing" behavior. The `propose_plan` return text says "STOP +and wait" but nothing enforces it. Two options: + +**Option A (structural):** In the `run` handler (`classifyAndGate`), after +the plan-first gate, check if the plan has any `config_mutation` steps +AND no assent window is active. If so, refuse the `run` with "This plan +has config_mutation steps — wait for operator approval before executing." +This would force the agent to stop after proposing, but it would also +block the legitimate case where the operator already said "go ahead" (the +assent window would be active, so the check would pass). + +**Option B (prose):** Strengthen the `propose_plan` return text and +SOUL.md to be more directive. This is what we've been doing — it works +for strong models but not for weaker ones. + +**Decision:** Option A — structural enforcement. The check is simple +(assent window active?) and catches the exact case where the agent +proposes a plan with config_mutation steps and starts executing without +approval. Read-only steps still auto-execute (they don't need the +assent window). + +**Severity:** friction (prevents the two-approval UX, but doesn't block +functionality). +**Files:** `internal/mcp/server.go` `classifyAndGate`, `nomos/SOUL.md`. + +--- + +## Sequencing + +- **P1** (docker compose allowlist) is independent — ship immediately. +- **P2** (stuck indicator) + **P3** (inline approval removal) ship + together — both touch the chat rendering surface. +- **P4** (stale cleanup) is independent — ship anytime. +- **P5** (config_mutation enforcement) depends on P1 (the allowlist fix + reduces false config_mutation classifications) — ship after P1. + +## Verification + +- `go test ./internal/policy/...` — new `docker compose logs` read-only + test case. +- Manual: replay the WhatsApp bridge prompt, confirm a single plan-level + approval (not two), no stuck indicator, no green boxes in chat. +- `docker exec oikos-postgres-1 psql -U oikos oikos -c "SELECT COUNT(*) + FROM executions WHERE status NOT IN ('completed','failed','cancelled')"` + → 0 after the startup cleanup runs. diff --git a/web/src/lib/stores/activity.ts b/web/src/lib/stores/activity.ts index 93d5bb5..2bdd74e 100644 --- a/web/src/lib/stores/activity.ts +++ b/web/src/lib/stores/activity.ts @@ -8,8 +8,7 @@ export interface ActivityEntry { id: string type: 'goal' | 'plan' | 'step_running' | 'step_done' | 'step_failed' | 'tool_running' | 'tool_done' | 'tool_error' | - 'knowledge' | 'complete' | 'question' | 'error' | - 'approval' + 'knowledge' | 'complete' | 'question' | 'error' description: string detail?: string args?: string @@ -156,26 +155,14 @@ export const activityLog = derived([messages, planSteps, currentTask], ([$msgs, }) } - // Approvals — detect from tool results containing 'requires approval' - for (let mi = 0; mi < $msgs.length; mi++) { - for (const t of $msgs[mi].tools) { - if (t.type !== 'tool_result') continue - const text = typeof t.result === 'string' ? t.result : JSON.stringify(t.result ??
