SOUL.md: mandatory 6-step task flow at TOP of file, unmissable.
Agent MUST: set_goal → pre-plan (research only) → propose_plan → STOP
and wait for approval → execute (auto-run under plan window).
Backend:
- set_goal now opens plan window immediately (config_mutation auto-runs)
- set_goal result tells agent to do pre-plan + propose_plan, not run
- propose_plan result tells agent to STOP and wait for approval
- plan window value unified to 'active' (set_goal + propose_plan)
This prevents 23 individual approval popups — one plan approval instead.
Backend:
- proposePlan sets plan window in autonomy_settings (nomos:plan:<session>)
- run handler checks plan window — auto-executes config_mutation commands
within plan without per-action approval
- planWindowActive function in server.go
- Plan window cleaned up on completeTask (already covered by LIKE '%:' || )
Frontend:
- Removed 'Session graph' header bar
- Cooler empty states: Plan shows animated dots + 'Awaiting plan…',
Activity shows pulsing dots + 'Waiting for activity…'
- Server: /oidc-callback HTML page exchanges Authentik code for token,
displays it for user to copy into the desktop app's Token tab
- oidc.ts: desktop mode uses apiUrl+/oidc-callback as redirect URI,
encodes PKCE verifier in state parameter
- Config.svelte: add Server URL field to OIDC tab for desktop UX
- Caddy: add /oidc-callback to enroll bypass (no Authentik gate)
- App: favicon.png as system tray icon, window title 'Oikos'
- web/index.html: title 'Oikos'
12 of 33 MCP tools now render as rich inline cards instead of raw JSON:
EntityCard, HealthSummary, LXCList, EntityTable, KnowledgeResults,
BlastRadius, ChangeLog, FleetSnapshot, MetricChart.
Architecture:
- Server: annotateJSONResult() wraps queryRows with __renderer hints
- Registry: match/dispatch system maps tool names to Svelte components
- Chat: inline dispatch with 5-card limit, overflow to collapsed group
- ToolCallGroup: unmatched prop, hides when all matched, ARIA labels
Tests: 3 new Go tests for annotateJSONResult (wrap, no-op, multi-row).
search_knowledge and get_entity_knowledge only ever returned a ts_headline
snippet/short headline — enough to find a note, not enough to act on it.
Add get_knowledge_content(slug), mirroring the web UI's
/api/v1/knowledge/content/{id}, so the agent can read a document/
investigation/runbook's full markdown body once it knows which one it
needs. upsert_knowledge already covered the write side. Cross-referenced
all three tool descriptions so the agent discovers the full-read path.

Executions were being created with no outgoing edges to what they acted
on or which task/session drove them, silently starving the graph of new
data going forward — found during this session's DB audit, which had to
backfill 245+25 missing targets/involves edges for existing executions.
This closes the gap at the source: every execution now gets a
target-->targets-->execution edge, and (when the caller supplies a
session/task) a task-->involves-->execution edge, both idempotent
(NOT EXISTS guards) so retries/backfills don't duplicate.
Two call sites: the deduped systemctl/apt_upgrade/pct_create fast path
and the general classifyAndGate path.

chi.URLParam returns the raw, still-encoded path segment — unlike the
OpenAPI-generated routes, which decode via
runtime.BindStyledParameterWithOptions before the handler sees them. Slugs
like "document:containers/101-jellyfin" (encoded by the frontend's
encodeURIComponent) were arriving undecoded and matching no row. Found via
a standalone chi repro, not by patching the live deploy checkout.

Two fixes to the new category taxonomy:
- Knowledge Base couldn't show a document/investigation/runbook's own
markdown body — knowledge_entities.content was never exposed by any
endpoint (GetEntityKnowledge answers "what knowledge references this
entity", not "what is this entity's content"). Add GET
/api/v1/knowledge/content/{id} and render it with the existing
marked+DOMPurify pipeline in a new Content section.
- The graph hid any edge whose other endpoint wasn't in the active
category, so nodes with only cross-category neighbors rendered as
disconnected dots. Queried the real relationship table: ~70% of infra
edges cross Fleet/Network/Services/Storage lines (compute+network+
software+storage+physical used to be one "infrastructure" layer).
EntityGraph now keeps 1-hop neighbors visible but dimmed instead of
hiding them, so the edges — and what they connect to — stay visible.
- categories.ts: `cognition` domain conflated true knowledge (document/
investigation/runbook, 58 entities) with operational telemetry
(execution/check/task/signal/approval/pattern/skill/classification/
feedback, 300+ entities with their own Operations/Signals/Learning
pages). Mapping the whole domain to Knowledge pulled in 245 execution
entities fanning out from ~17 compute nodes via `targets` edges — the
single biggest source of graph clutter. Knowledge now maps by type
(document/investigation/runbook only); the rest of cognition is
excluded from Knowledge Base browsing entirely.

Documentation and repo-hygiene pass following the client/server split:
Plan drift (audited all other active plans against current code):
- oikos-gaps-and-improvements.md: mark Section C and D.5 resolved (both
described cmd/hermes, renamed to cmd/nomos with a real LLM loop since);
refresh ~10 stale file:line citations; fix tool-count (33, not 28).
- liveness-drift-and-ux-cohesion.md: fix stale default-model claim (now
deepseek-v4-pro since 2026-07-10) and "not yet deployed" status.
- nomos-agent-code-review.md: fix C1's citation (one unauthenticated route
to nomos now, not two, after the client/server split).
- wails-desktop-app.md: record the production deploy outcome.
Repo structure: added missing directories to README/CONTRIBUTING layout
tables (checks/, tools/, cmd/webhook/, docs/operations/), fixed a broken
link, added ADR 0015 documenting the auth/CORS/client-split model (there
wasn't one despite CONTRIBUTING's own process requiring it), normalized
ADR 0013/0014's format drift, added an Authentication section to
AGENTS.md/CLIENTS.md (every example call was missing the now-required
bearer header).
Retired the Goose+Nomos workstation flow (bootstrap.sh --with-nomos,
tools/setup-nomos-soul.sh, .agents/operations/nomos-agent.md) and the
Caveman auto-install tooling (tools/setup-caveman.sh, tools/caveman/) —
both superseded by the production containerized Nomos agent, which has
never used either. Kept .agents/shared/caveman.md itself (the terse
writing-style convention agents still follow by reading it).
Deleted the orphaned legacy Python oikos/ directory — nothing imports it,
and bin/homelab (the CLI it was kept for) no longer exists in the repo.
Rewrote .agents/operations/agent-enrollment.md (365 -> ~110 lines) and
commands.md to match the current architecture instead of the retired
`homelab` CLI; migrated the still-true networking prerequisites (Netbird,
split-horizon DNS, SSH key distribution) into the knowledge base as a
runbook via upsert_knowledge rather than duplicating them in markdown.
Updated all 10 .agents/skills/ runbooks referencing the dead CLI with
their real MCP tool / REST API equivalents, or flagged them as needing
verification where no equivalent is confirmed yet.
Two real bugs found and fixed, not just docs:
- The tools/setup-*.sh auto-setup glob was tools/*.setup.sh in THREE
places (tools/post-pull.sh, bootstrap.sh, and internal/httpapi/impl.go's
GetClientContext handler) since the mechanism's introduction on
2026-06-02 — never matched any real filename, so no client has ever
picked up an auto-setup script via git-pull or the context-poller sync.
Fixed all three; the Go server-side fix is the one that actually matters
since it's what the current context-poller mechanism depends on.
- bootstrap.sh removed dead vestigial --gitea-token/--gitea-user flags
(parsed, never consumed) left over from an earlier clone-based model.
Also flagged, not fixed (documented as an open gap in
client-enrollment/SKILL.md): bootstrap.sh tells a freshly-enrolled client
to call POST /api/v1/clients/{slug}/activate to finish enrollment, but
that route doesn't exist in api/openapi.yaml — EnrollClient sets entities
to provisioning and nothing currently transitions them to active.

Phase 0 of plans/2026-07-12-wails-desktop-app.md. The control-room SPA
is no longer embedded (web/embed.go deleted); it's a standalone static
build served separately (make ui / make deploy-ui). The api process
adds CORS and drops the dev-open auth bypass — every route now needs a
real bearer token, including SSE (?token= query param, EventSource
can't set headers) and api's own /agent proxy to nomos (previously
unauthenticated by omission).
nomos was an unauthenticated client of api's /mcp and approval-decision
endpoints; closing dev-open would have broken it, so it now sends
Authorization: Bearer $OIKOS_MCP_BEARER_TOKEN on every call back to api.
SPA gets a runtime config module (config.ts) and a Config.svelte
first-launch/reconfigure page, reachable afterwards via a "Connection"
entry in the sidebar footer. Every fetch() in api.ts routes through
fetchWithAuth so the same build works same-origin (browser prod, Vite
dev proxy) or cross-origin (future Wails webview, remote access).
Six gaps found against the plan and the live Caddy topology while
implementing — documented in the plan's "Plan review" section, most
notably: api's own /agent mount was never behind combinedAuth (fixed),
and production's Authentik forward-auth needs a bearer-token bypass for
API routes that this repo's Caddyfile.oikos reference copy now has, but
the real dtoro/caddy-conf deploy does not yet.
Verified live: cross-origin static SPA + API, CORS, bearer auth, SSE
query-token auth, and localStorage persistence all confirmed working
in-browser. Full Go test suite and npm run build pass with no
regressions against the pre-change baseline.

Search hits and entity-knowledge hits never selected an id column, so
every KnowledgeHit.Id defaulted to the zero UUID. The frontend's keyed
{#each results as hit (hit.id)} then had all-duplicate keys, which
silently broke Svelte 5's if-block branch swap for the results panel —
search would set searched=true (Clear button appeared) but the view
never switched away from "Recently learned". Select e.id in both
queries and key the each block on hit.slug (guaranteed unique) instead.
Events, Agent, and Audit were standalone read-only pages that never
cross-referenced the entity they related to. Fold them into EntityDetail
as entity-scoped cards (Agent activity, Audit trail) alongside the
existing Signals/Executions/Knowledge cards, and give the Signals card
real Ack/Mute/Resolve actions. Signals stays a standalone page since
it's the only one with cross-entity triage value (badge count, actions).
Also fixes the underlying reason those new cards would've stayed empty:
agent_activity rows were never tagged with entity_id at insert time
(cmd/nomos/store.go, internal/mcp/server.go), even though the column
and the API filter both support it. Added a best-effort resolver that
checks common tool-arg keys (target, entity_slug, slug, ...) against
the entities table.

Fixes B1 and B2 of plans/2026-07-11-nomos-agent-code-review.md together,
since the right granularity for B1 in the auto-continuation worker turned
out to require B2's restructuring anyway (see below).
B1: grep -rn "recover()" cmd/nomos/ internal/mcp/ internal/httpapi/ returned
nothing before this — every explicitly-spawned goroutine (continuation
worker, resumed chat turns, async execution dispatch, the SSE listener, two
duplicate sshExec implementations' output-collector goroutines) crashed the
whole process on an unhandled panic, not just that one goroutine. More
consequential post-concurrency: more simultaneous unattended background work
means more surface area for one bad input to end every running task.
New internal/safego package: Go(label, fn) launches fn in a goroutine with a
recover-and-log wrapper. Applied at every bare `go` spawn site across the
three packages. Two sites needed bespoke handling instead of the generic
helper because their callers block on a channel and a silent recover would
just make them hang until timeout: sshExec's output-collector goroutine (two
near-identical copies, internal/mcp/server.go and internal/httpapi/phase3.go)
and httpapi's ListenAndServe goroutine — both now recover AND send a
synthetic error result so the waiting select unblocks immediately instead of
waiting out the full timeout.
httpapi's sseListener got extra treatment: its per-notification handling was
extracted into handleNotification with its own recover, so a panic decoding
ONE malformed pg_notify payload can't kill the listener goroutine for every
connected SSE client — the outer goroutine spawn only needs to guard the
connection setup/reconnect code around it.
B2: cmd/nomos/continue.go's processContinuations used to run every pending
continuation SEQUENTIALLY in a plain for loop, in the SAME goroutine as the
ticker — meaning (a) task B's continuation waited for task A's full (up to
10-minute) resumed turn to finish first, undercutting this session's earlier
concurrency work on exactly the path autonomous tasks depend on most, and
(b) an unrecovered panic anywhere in that call chain didn't just crash the
process (B1) — even WITH B1's recovery wrapped only at the top-level worker
spawn, the panic would still unwind the ENTIRE ticker-loop goroutine,
silently ending auto-continuation for every task until nomos restarted.
Fixed by spawning each pending item via safego.Go individually: real
parallelism, and a bad item can now only ever take down its own goroutine.
Added internal/safego/safego_test.go: TestGo_RecoversPanic is the concrete
proof — a deliberate panic inside Go() that would otherwise crash the whole
test binary; reaching the assertion after it IS the evidence recovery works.
Verified live against the rebuilt containers: full chat turn round-tripped
correctly (hostname lookup, 2 iterations, normal completion) — no regression
from threading safego.Go through the tool-dispatch/continuation paths.

Fix 1 of plans/2026-07-11-concurrent-task-execution.md — the safety-critical
one. The assent window (and destructive window) were keyed purely by agent
id ("assent_window.agent:<uuid>"). With one agent:nomos entity serving every
concurrent task, this meant approving Task A's plan opened a window that ANY
concurrently-running task's config-mutation/destructive actions could also
ride, auto-executing without their own approval.
- store.go / agent.go: assentWindowActive/openAssentWindow and
destructiveWindowActive/openDestructiveWindow/destructiveWindowKey all gain
a sessionID parameter; keys become
"assent_window.agent:<id>.session:<sessionID>" and
"destructive_window.agent:<id>.target:<slug>.session:<sessionID>". Missing
session id fails closed (no window) rather than falling back to the old
agent-wide key.
- continue.go: the auto-continuation worker's window check moved from once-
per-batch to once-per-pending-item, scoped to that item's own session —
it was previously checking ONE agent-wide window for a batch that can span
multiple tasks.
- agent.go tool-dispatch: injects `_session_id` into a COPY of the wire args
sent to the MCP server (never into the args used for the emitted/logged/
persisted tool call, and never part of any tool's declared InputSchema —
invisible to the model) so the gating checks on the OTHER side of the
process boundary know which task is asking.
- internal/mcp/server.go: assentWindowActive/destructiveWindowActive/
classifyAndGate gain the same sessionID parameter, read from
args["_session_id"] at the three call sites (request_execution's
apt_upgrade/pct_create branches, and the shared classifyAndGate used by
restart/pct_exec/systemctl/run).
Verified against the live stack with the exact scenario from the plan: opened
an assent window for session A only, then called `run` with an identical
config-mutation command for session A (window open) and session B (same
agent, no window). A auto-ran (execution status completed); B correctly
queued for approval (pending_approval) instead of bleeding through — proven
at both the MCP response text and the executions table.

Closes the gap that made the knowledge loop optional/implicit: every
non-trivial task now has an EXPLICIT first plan step (research) and last
plan step (write back), not just background behavior the model might skip.
New MCP tools (the agent had no way to do these before — only REST endpoints
existed, unexposed to it):
- update_entity_attributes(slug, attributes): shallow-merge new/changed facts
into an entity (an IP, a version, a discovered port) so a future task
doesn't have to rediscover them from scratch. No approval required — this
updates the knowledge graph, not live infra.
- create_relationship(source, target, type): record a discovered edge
(depends-on, hosts, provides, ...). Idempotent, FK-validated against the
ontology's relationship_types, no approval required.
SOUL.md: restructured the task loop so step 1 is explicitly "gather
knowledge, not just status" (get_entity_knowledge, search_knowledge,
get_relations, get_blast_radius, http_get) and the last step before
complete_task is explicitly "write back" (update_entity_attributes,
create_relationship, upsert_knowledge) — both called out as real plan
entries the operator should see in propose_plan, not silent side-work. This
is what prevents the graph drifting from reality and is the concrete
mechanism behind "tasks compound."
propose_plan's tool description reinforces the same first-step/last-step
convention at the call site.
Verified against the live stack: both tools registered and callable via MCP;
update_entity_attributes merged an attribute correctly; create_relationship
rejected an invalid type (FK violation, clear error) and succeeded with a
valid type+direction, confirmed idempotent (2 calls, 1 row).

Reframes the chat surface as tasks:
- New Tasks.svelte: a card grid of tasks, each showing status (Running /
Needs input / Done / Failed), the goal as title, the outcome summary, and
relative time; filterable by status with live counts; delete on hover;
"New task" and per-card click open the conversation.
- Board updates LIVE off the events stream (goal.set / task.status /
question.*) via an explicit liveEvents.subscribe with a debounced refetch —
scanning all events newer than the last seen, since entity.touched bursts
bury task events below index 0.
- App shell: primary nav "Chat" → "Tasks" (board is now the home route),
"New chat" → "New task", conversation header gets a Tasks / Conversation
breadcrumb. Removed the superseded Sessions page.
- api.ts Session type carries the task fields (goal/status/outcome/summary).
Also fixes a pre-existing SSE bug that blocked ALL live updates app-wide:
writeSSE emitted `event: <type>`, which EventSource only delivers to
addEventListener(type) handlers — but stores/events.ts (and every page reading
liveEvents) consumes via onmessage, which never fires for named events. So the
live stream delivered nothing to the UI. Dropped the event-name line; the type
is already in the JSON payload, and new event types now need zero client
changes. SSE test still green (it parses data: lines).
Verified in the browser against the live stack: the board renders 50 tasks
with correct status buckets; a goal-driven task appears and flips to a Done
card with its summary in real time without a reload; Events page confirms the
stream now delivers to onmessage.

Gives a task a legible, live-advancing plan via three more nomos-local tools:
- set_goal(goal): records the task goal, status → planning, emits goal.set.
- propose_plan(steps[]): persists ordered steps (clean replace for v1 — a
revision starts a new list), status → executing, emits plan.proposed with
the persisted steps (id+seq) so the panel can address them.
- update_plan_step(seq, status, execution_id?): advances a step, stamping
started_at/finished_at, emits plan.step.started/finished. Anchors the event
to the step's target entity when it has one.
Belt-and-suspenders: when an execution linked to a step reaches a terminal
state, the api auto-closes the step (closePlanStepForExecution in
emitExecutionEvent) and emits plan.step.finished — so the board stays honest
even if the agent forgets to close a step it started.
Verified end-to-end: a goal-driven task fired goal.set → plan.proposed →
2× step.started/finished → task.status on the SSE stream; both steps persisted
done with start/finish timestamps; status progressed planning→executing→done.

The plan's "learning view" (runbook success-rate trends, promoted
skills, capability timeline) assumes the patterns/skills/feedback
pipeline is populated. It isn't: all three tables are empty in
production and nothing in the codebase ever writes to feedback, so
building the UI against them today would ship a permanently-empty
page. Scoped instead around data that's real and growing —
executions — while still wiring up /patterns and /skills so the page
needs no rework once that pipeline exists.
New /api/v1/learning/timeline (per-verb first-success date + success
rate, parsed via the existing splitAction helper) and
/api/v1/learning/trend (30-day daily success/fail counts), both
read-only queries against executions. Patterns and skills sections
call the existing (untouched) ListPatterns/ListSkills endpoints and
render an explanatory empty state instead of nothing.

Found live: a chat request to restart caddy (the reverse proxy for the
whole fleet) executed instantly over SSH with zero approval. Root
cause was in request_execution's legacy handler — restart, pct_exec,
and systemctl (outside enable/disable) executed immediately with a
hardcoded risk_class='reversible_low' that was never actually checked
against anything, bypassing the classifier entirely. Only the `run`
tool's commands were ever gated.
Extracted the run tool's classify -> execute-or-queue logic into a
shared classifyAndGate() and route restart/pct_exec/systemctl through
it too, so every mutating path — regardless of which tool the model
reaches for — gets the same read-only/config-mutation/destructive
classification and approval gate. systemctl restart is already covered
by an existing classifier test (config_mutation), so no new test
needed; the gap was that request_execution never called the
classifier at all.

Ops "Executions" tab showed raw target UUIDs, alphabetical (not
recency) order, and a stale status vocabulary from an earlier schema
iteration — never actually usable as a live "what's happening" view.
Replaced with a new recency-ordered /api/v1/activity/recent endpoint
and matching table (human-readable action summaries, risk/status
badges, duration, inline error preview).
Also added /api/v1/activity/session/{id} + a collapsible SessionDigest
panel in the chat rail, answering "what did this session actually do"
(executions by status, entities touched, knowledge written) — the
missing piece for proactive outcome reporting to be visible in the UI,
not just in the chat transcript.

Verified live immediately after deploying: the endpoint returned 200 with
correct-looking stats (total=56, agent_authored=2) but items=[] always,
regardless of limit/source. Root cause: pgx v5 can't scan a timestamptz
column directly into a Go string — Scan() errored on every single row, and
that error was silently swallowed by a bare `continue`, so every row was
dropped with no trace in the logs. Fixed by casting updated_at::text in the
SQL (matching how every other handler in this codebase already returns
timestamps) and logging scan failures instead of swallowing them, so this
class of bug can't hide silently again.

First slice of the observability/learning UI (the "see the system come alive
and learn" ask). The Knowledge page was search-only — blank until you typed —
so the knowledge Nomos now writes via upsert_knowledge was invisible unless
you knew to search for it. Now the page LEADS with what the system knows and
is learning:
- internal/httpapi/knowledge.go: GET /api/v1/knowledge/recent — recency-ordered
knowledge + a stats header (total, agent-authored, learned-this-week,
by-kind). Custom route (not OpenAPI-generated), same auth as the rest.
- web Knowledge page rewrite: stat cards up top (Total / Written by Nomos /
Learned this week / runbooks-investigations), then a "Recently learned" feed
with agent-authored notes highlighted and badged "learned by Nomos", tags,
and relative timestamps. A toggle filters to Nomos-only. Search still works,
now as a mode you enter/clear rather than the whole page.
This turns "the system is getting smarter" from a claim into something you
watch fill up: every gotcha the agent records shows here within seconds.

From the last (successful) TypeType deploy session, two gaps the operator hit:
1. Knowledge write-back — the missing half of the loop.
The agent could read the knowledge base (search_knowledge/get_entity_knowledge)
but had no way to WRITE it, so everything it learned (the Dragonfly memlock
rlimit gotcha, the NAT-hairpin DNS issue, etc.) lived only in an ephemeral
chat message and was lost — the system could never actually "get better."
This is the `upsert_knowledge` MCP tool the 2026-07-08 gaps plan called for.
- internal/mcp/server.go: upsert_knowledge(title, content, about?, tags?,
kind?) writes a document/investigation/runbook entity + knowledge_entities
row (search column is generated), upserts by slug so re-titling updates in
place, and optionally links it to the entity it's about so
get_entity_knowledge surfaces it there.
- SOUL.md: capture non-obvious findings/deploys/gotchas as part of finishing
work, not only when asked "what did we learn".
2. "I had to ask for status multiple times."
The clearest cause: a long working turn (64 tool calls) that exhausted the
iteration cap ended with a bare "max iterations reached without final
answer" — a dead end that forced the operator to ask what happened.
- cmd/nomos/agent.go: on exhaustion, make one final no-tools LLM call
(finalSummary) asking for a status report — what was accomplished, current
state, what remains — so the turn always ends with a real outcome.
- maxIterations 25 -> 40 (the decomposed per-step pct_create flow legitimately
needs more steps).
- SOUL.md: always end a turn with a clear outcome; never end silently or on a
bare tool call — the operator can't see the tools working and reads silence
as "nothing happened".

The previous commit fixed a context-cancellation bug in the auto-approve path
and appeared to fix things, but re-testing end-to-end after deploy showed the
execution STILL never completed — just via a different symptom
("no pending execution found for approval" in the logs). Dug further and
found the real, deeper bug underneath: this whole mechanism has never
actually worked.
autoApprove() directly flipped BOTH approvals.status and executions.status to
'approved' via raw SQL, then called executeApprovedViaAPI to POST to the
decision endpoint. But DecideApproval's own logic specifically looks for the
execution still at status='pending_approval' to find and dispatch the real
SSH work (executeApprovedAction) — autoApprove's premature flip meant that
lookup always found zero rows. DecideApproval's UpdateApprovalStatus call
also silently no-ops the same way (sqlc :exec doesn't surface "0 rows
affected" as an error). Every assent-window auto-approved pct_create/
apt_upgrade has been sitting at 'approved' forever with the real work never
triggered — indistinguishable from "still running" until you check.
Fix: remove autoApprove() entirely. Call executeApprovedViaAPI directly
against the untouched pending_approval row from createApproval — identical
to the manual Approve-button path, just without the human click. DecideApproval
is now the single place that transitions status and dispatches, for both the
manual and auto-approved paths, closing the class of bug where two code paths
raced to do the same state transition.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Verified live testing the new atomic pct_create: an assent-window
auto-approved pct_create appeared to "run" (logged "auto-approved... running
now") but the execution stayed stuck at 'approved' forever. Root cause:
`go executeApprovedViaAPI(ctx, ...)` passed the MCP tool-call's own context —
which is cancelled the instant the triggering /chat request's HTTP response
completes, i.e. on every normal turn. The spawned goroutine's POST to the
approval-decision endpoint died with "context canceled" before it could even
start the real work, and nothing surfaced this to the operator or the agent —
the execution just sat at 'approved' with no error, indistinguishable from
"still running."
This is exactly the context-lifetime bug class httpapi's own approval
goroutine (executeApprovedAction) already avoided by using
context.Background() — it had just been missed in these two call sites
(apt_upgrade and pct_create auto-approve). Fixed both to use
context.Background(), matching the correct pattern already in place
elsewhere. Audited for other goroutines spawned with a request-scoped ctx —
none found; the sshExec internal goroutines are synchronous/waited-on via
select and correctly scoped to the call.

Closes the two remaining open points from the auto-continuation work.
1. Atomic pct_create (observability, the bigger of the two):
pct_create used to bundle create + apt install + post_install script into
one black-box multi-minute SSH call — the agent got back a single opaque
success/fail with no way to see (or fix) which step actually broke.
Removed the whole post-create provisioning block (and the now-dead
provisionScript/sanitizePkgs helpers + their tests). pct_create is now
create + start + register ONLY — fast, and its result is fed back to the
agent via auto-continuation almost immediately. The agent installs
packages and runs setup as its OWN sequence of `run` calls against the new
lxc:<hostname>, observing each command's real output and able to diagnose
and retry exactly the step that failed — the same recovery loop already
proven for the general case, now applied to installs too, instead of
requiring a separate black-box mechanism.
- services/post_install removed from the pct_create params struct and
from the MCP tool schema/SOUL.md docs.
- SOUL.md: explains the new flow, moves the Docker CLI gotcha and DNS
troubleshooting guidance to be steps the agent runs itself.
2. Scoped destructive window (targeted autonomy for recovery):
Verified live in the previous session that a destructive recovery (a
failed destroy needing stop-then-destroy on the same container) required
TWO separate typed confirmations for what was clearly one recovery
action. Added a narrow, TARGET-scoped 15-minute grant
(destructive_window.agent:<id>.target:<slug> in autonomy_settings,
shared key format across cmd/nomos and internal/mcp) that opens only
after an EXPLICIT typed confirmation (never loose assent) or an explicit
button-approval of a destructive step, and only ever covers further
destructive commands against that SAME target. A different target always
needs its own fresh confirmation — this narrows risk instead of loosening
it globally, unlike broadening the general assent window to cover
destructive actions would have.
- cmd/nomos/store.go: openDestructiveWindow/destructiveWindowActive/
executionTarget.
- cmd/nomos/agent.go: opens the window when a typed confirmation grants a
destructive chat-assent execution.
- internal/mcp/server.go: `run` tool checks the window before gating a
destructive command; auto-runs if active.
- internal/httpapi/phase3.go: DecideApproval opens the same window when a
destructive execution is approved via the button/API, for parity with
the chat-assent path.

The root cause behind "the agent stops at the first error and doesn't recover":
provisioning executions run ASYNCHRONOUSLY (pct_create fires the SSH work in a
goroutine and returns "running" immediately), so the agent's turn ENDS before
the result exists. The agent literally isn't running when the step fails — it
can't react to a failure it never observes. The only thing that fed results
back was the operator typing "continue" after every async step: the human was
the event loop. (In the flagged 18-message session the operator typed
continue/proceed/?? eight times while the agent correctly diagnosed each failure
but couldn't advance a step on its own.)
This makes the system the event loop instead:
- migrations/017: nomos_plan_executions links each gated execution to the chat
session that started it.
- cmd/nomos: after a tool result, any "execution <uuid>" it started is linked
to the session. A background worker (continue.go) polls for those executions
reaching a terminal state and — while the agent has an open assent window (an
approved plan is in flight) — re-invokes the agent with the result
("execution X completed/failed: <result>"), so it proceeds to the next step
or diagnoses+fixes the failure, with no operator tick. Guarded against loops
(mark-continued before running) and bounded by the 30-min window.
- chatWith(): chat() variant that injects the finished-execution note after
replayed history without persisting a fake user turn.
- DecideApproval: approving a step by ANY route (button or chat-assent) now
opens the assent window, so auto-continuation works regardless of how the
operator approved — previously only typing "go ahead" opened it.
- SOUL: the agent is told it will be auto-re-invoked when async steps finish —
don't poll get_execution_status, don't wait for "continue"; end the turn and
keep going step by step until the goal is verified or a genuine blocker.
This is the root fix, not another per-command patch: you can't enumerate every
failure of an unbounded action space, but you can give the agent a loop that
observes each result and adapts — because "do anything" always includes "the
first attempt failed."

When the operator has approved a plan via chat assent (assent window
active), pct_create and apt_upgrade now auto-approve and execute
instead of queuing for a separate approval round. The auto-approve
path updates the approval+execution status in the DB, then calls the
HTTP API's decision endpoint to trigger executeApprovedAction — same
code path as a manual Approve button, consistent audit trail.
Agent stopped after every approval step, forcing operator to type
'continue' 7× per deploy session. Root causes and fixes:
1. Compound read-only commands (e.g. 'systemctl status; journalctl')
defaulted to config_mutation — now splits on ;/&&/||/| and classifies
as read_only if all segments are inspection verbs. Added grep, wc,
sort, uniq, cut, tr, dpkg -l, apt list, docker stats to allowlist.
2. curl|sh was classified destructive, forcing typed confirmation for
legitimate installs (get.docker.com). Demoted to config_mutation —
loose assent grants it, no typed phrase needed.
3. SOUL.md said 'STOP after queuing' — replaced with 'continue working
on non-blocked steps'. Added assent window section instructing agent
to carry out the full plan after approval.
4. Assent window: when operator approves a plan via chat assent, a
30-minute window opens where config_mutation commands auto-run
without re-approval. Agent writes expiry to autonomy_settings; MCP
run tool checks it before gating. Destructive never auto-runs.
5. System note after approval now says 'CONTINUE executing the full
plan — do not stop and wait for continue.'
Verified live that after deploying the "fixed" bridge-bound pre-flight, it
still let a known-bad vmbr0+192.168.8.2 config straight through to a full
pct_create with no error. Root cause: the check used
`strings.Contains(pingOut, "REACHABLE")` against markers "REACHABLE" /
"UNREACHABLE" — but "UNREACHABLE" contains "REACHABLE" as a substring, so the
containment check was true for BOTH outcomes. The pre-flight was structurally
incapable of ever failing, regardless of the actual ping result.
Fixed with distinct, non-overlapping markers (PREFLIGHT_OK/PREFLIGHT_FAIL)
and exact-match comparison, pulled into a small gatewayPreflightPassed()
helper with a unit test asserting the exact historical bug case
("UNREACHABLE" must be false) so this bug class can't silently recur.
Re-verified live end-to-end: manually re-tested the exact ping command
(confirmed UNREACHABLE via vmbr0), and this was caught only by actually
running the check against production, not by reading the code.

Verified live that the pre-flight check added in the previous commit had a
real gap: a plain `ping <gateway>` from the Proxmox host succeeds via the
HOST's own routing table (which can have routes to a subnet through paths
the host alone knows about), even when the CONTAINER — attached via a plain
bridge with only a naive on-link default route — can never actually ARP that
gateway. Confirmed by creating a real test container on vmbr0 with
gw=192.168.8.2: the host-wide ping had said "reachable," but pinging from
inside the container showed 100% packet loss. Fixed by binding the pre-flight
ping to the specific requested bridge (`ping -I <bridge>`), which correctly
rejects vmbr0 for that gateway instead of false-positiving via the host's
broader routing table.
Also confirmed live: vmbr1 does exist and is up on strong (contrary to the
possibly-stale host doc), matching what romm/seanime's docs already said.

Investigated why the operator couldn't get past "no DNS/connectivity" across
multiple retries even after Nomos correctly diagnosed and fixed the gateway
(192.168.8.1 -> 192.168.8.2). It still failed. Root cause, confirmed from
strong's own documented network topology: on `strong`, vmbr0 physically
bridges only to 192.168.178.0/24 — the 192.168.8.0/24 service network is
reached via a Fritz!Box static route, not a local bridge. A container
attached to vmbr0 can never reach a 192.168.8.x gateway no matter which
address in that range is picked; ARP for it just gets silently dropped
(matching the earlier hang symptom). The gateway was never the problem — the
bridge was. 192.168.8.0/24 is also segmented into /28 blocks each with their
own gateway (192.168.8.2 is only the .0-.15 block's gateway), so even a
correct bridge with a copy-pasted gateway from a different block would still
fail.
No amount of retrying with a different gateway guess could have fixed this —
the missing fact (which bridge reaches which subnet, and the per-/28 gateway)
isn't inferable from the subnet alone.
- pct_create gets a `bridge` param (was hardcoded to vmbr0) so a correct
bridge can actually be requested once known.
- Fast pre-flight: for any static IP, ping the gateway from the target HOST
before creating anything. Was: a bad config took a multi-minute hang (or,
after last commit's timeout fix, ~2min) before failing. Now: ~2 seconds,
with a message that explicitly says not to guess a different gateway in
the same subnet — find a real neighbor's config or use DHCP.
- SOUL.md: DHCP is now framed as the default, not a fallback; static IP
requires finding an existing LXC on the same host in the same /28 and
copying its bridge+gateway verbatim — inventing one is explicitly called
out as the failure mode that caused this exact incident.
- MCP tool schema: pct_create's params description now documents `bridge`
and the neighbor-copy rule directly in what the model reads at call time,
not just in SOUL.md.

Root cause of "running for 10+ minutes without stopping": a real production
execution (TypeType pct_create) was found genuinely stuck 17+ minutes into a
single blocking SSH call. The container's post_install script was looping on
`getent hosts deb.debian.org`, waiting on a network that could never come up
— the operator's static IP config used gw:192.168.8.1, but the actual gateway
on that subnet is 192.168.8.2, so every network call hung instead of failing
fast (packets dropped, not rejected).
Two compounding bugs made this unrecoverable without manual intervention:
1. sshExec (both internal/httpapi/phase3.go and internal/mcp/server.go) had
NO execution timeout — `session.CombinedOutput()` blocks until the remote
command exits, with no deadline. A hung remote process blocks the Go
goroutine forever; the execution can never leave 'running', and the
operator has no way to make it stop. Fixed: both now race the SSH call
against a 10-minute hard timeout, closing the session/client and
returning a clear "timed out after 10m0s" error if exceeded. (The
mcp/server.go copy also still had the original "swallowed non-zero exit"
bug from before that fix was applied to httpapi's copy only — fixed here
too.)
2. provisionScript's DNS-wait loop assumed `getent hosts` fails fast on no
connectivity — it doesn't; a black-holed network can make each call hang
far past the resolver's nominal timeout, so the documented "~90s" budget
was never real. Wrapped every attempt in `timeout 3` so the wall-clock
budget is now actually enforced (~2min worst case), and the failure
message now suggests checking the net0 gateway.
Also fixes the matching UI-side gap (operator's literal question: "is there
a way to get more details? it has been running for 10+ minutes without
stopping"):
- InlineApproval's track() polling loop had its own ~6min ceiling and simply
STOPPED polling after that — silently going stale before the backend (now
correctly capped at 10min) could ever resolve. Raised to a 14min ceiling
with margin, and added a distinct 'stalled' state if that's ever exceeded
(explicitly says something's wrong, rather than freezing silently).
- The running-card now shows live elapsed time (ticking, from the
execution's created_at), the actual command being run, and the execution
ID — previously just a static "this can take a minute" with zero
information. Also added command display to the destructive pending-
approval card for full transparency before confirming.
Verified live end-to-end in a real browser (dev server proxying to
production): queued a real command via chat, approved via the button,
watched the elapsed-time counter tick in real time, and saw it transition to
a completed card with real output once the command finished.

Live testing hit `entities_slug_key` violations: exec slugs used an 8-char
prefix of a UUIDv7, whose leading bytes encode a millisecond timestamp — two
executions created seconds apart can share a prefix. Use the full UUID
(guaranteed unique) for the exec entity's slug/name in request_execution, the
new `run` tool, and the REST RequestExecution handler — all three had the
same pattern.

Found live: `run` against lxc:caddy failed with "missing pve_id" even though
pve_id=121 was present — caddy is an inventory-seeded LXC with no `host`
attribute at all (only pct_create-provisioned LXCs set one). The combined
query scanned attributes->>'host' (SQL NULL) into a plain Go string, which
errors the whole Scan — including the pve_id column that scanned fine.
COALESCE the host column to '' so a missing host attribute degrades to the
documented default instead of failing the whole resolution.

Implements the first slice of plans/2026-07-10-general-gated-execution.md:
Nomos gets one general execution tool instead of only a fixed action enum,
gated by an automatic risk classifier, and approval can be granted by the
operator just replying in chat instead of clicking a button.
- internal/policy/command.go: ClassifyCommand(cmd, declaredRisk) — rule-based
read-only allowlist + destructive denylist, default-escalate to
config_mutation for anything else. Classification can only ESCALATE the
caller's declared risk, never de-escalate it (destructive always wins even
if declared read_only). Compound commands (&&, ;, |, $()) never qualify for
the read-only fast path. Full test corpus.
- internal/mcp/server.go: new `run` MCP tool — target (host:/lxc:), command,
purpose, optional declared_risk. Read-only commands execute immediately;
everything else queues an approval exactly like pct_create today, executed
via httpapi's existing executeApprovedAction. Also fixes a real latent bug:
pct_exec resolved an LXC's host attribute without the "host:" prefix, so it
could never find the Proxmox host — new resolveExecTarget/resolveRunTarget
helpers (mcp + httpapi) fix this for both the new `run` action and existing
actions that route through the same execution path.
- internal/httpapi/phase3.go: "run" case in executeApprovedAction; fixes two
bugs found while wiring this up — (1) DecideApproval hardcoded risk_class to
'config_mutation' on every approve, silently corrupting the audit ledger for
every other risk class; (2) denying/revoking an approval never updated the
linked execution's status, so it stayed 'pending_approval' forever instead
of reflecting the decision.
- cmd/nomos/assent.go: deterministic (not LLM-judged) chat-assent detection.
Scoped to the immediately-preceding assistant turn's pending approvals only
— an old "yes" can't retroactively approve something new. Destructive-risk
actions are excluded from loose assent. Approves via the same HTTP decision
endpoint the UI button calls, so both paths share one audit trail.
- web/.../InlineApproval.svelte: self-healing poll — a pending approval card
now picks up being decided via ANY path (chat assent, Ops page, Matrix), not
just its own button. Previously the banner stayed stuck showing
Approve/Deny even after the action had already run elsewhere.
- nomos/SOUL.md: `run` is now the general capability ("no fixed menu, only a
risk gate"); documents chat-assent behavior and the destructive exception.

Fresh Debian LXCs have no locale configured, spamming "apt-listchanges:
Can't set locale" / perl warnings across every install and breaking some
packages' post-install scripts. Pin LANG/LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 (and hoist
DEBIAN_FRONTEND) at the top of the in-container bootstrap.

Production session provisioned the container but the service never installed:
apt failed with "Temporary failure resolving deb.debian.org" — a static-IP LXC
whose assigned nameserver couldn't resolve. The operator also got zero feedback:
the approval banner just sat there with no running/complete/failed status.
Backend robustness (provisionScript):
- Wait for real DNS/connectivity inside the container before apt, and self-heal
/etc/resolv.conf to a public resolver (1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8) if the assigned one
is dead. `set -e` after the gate so apt/post_install failures surface.
- apt-get update/install with Acquire::Retries=3.
Frontend feedback (InlineApproval):
- After approve, poll GET /executions/{id} and show live phase: submitting →
provisioning… → provisioned successfully / execution failed (with the error).
- add getExecution() to api.ts.
Agent guidance (SOUL.md):
- omit vmid (auto-assigned), prefer dhcp, docker-compose-plugin is not in Debian
(use docker.io + get.docker.com), end post_install with a health check.

The final "UPDATE executions SET result=$::jsonb" built its payload with
fmt.Sprintf and only escaped newlines. apt/pct output contains quotes,
backslashes and control chars, so the payload was invalid JSON, the jsonb
cast failed, and the (unchecked) UPDATE was silently discarded — the
execution stayed 'approved' with a NULL result even though the LXC was fully
provisioned (verified live: vmid auto-assigned, container running, service
installed, post_install ran).
- executeApprovedAction: marshal result via json.Marshal; log UPDATE errors
- add jsonErr() helper; route all pct_create failure-path results through it
- mcp/server.go: add jsonOut() for restart/systemctl/pct_exec inline results
- regression test for JSON validity on quote/backslash/control-char output

Follow-ups found while verifying the approve→provision path end to end:
- vmid is now optional: the early required-field check rejected vmid:0
before the cluster VMID guard could auto-assign a free id. Only hostname
is required now; 0 (or a collision) resolves to `pvesh get /cluster/nextid`.
- net0: use ip=dhcp with no gateway when no static IP is given (Proxmox
rejects gw alongside dhcp); only attach gw for a static CIDR.
- bump post-create settle to 10s so a DHCP lease is up before apt runs.

Real production failure when the operator clicked Approve in chat: nothing
provisioned, banner never cleared, execution marked completed.
Three root causes:
- sshExec swallowed non-zero exits when the command produced output, so a
`pct create` that printed "CT 132 already exists" and failed was reported
as success and a bogus lxc entity was registered. Now any non-zero exit
returns an error (with output) so the execution is correctly marked failed.
- The LLM reused VMID 132 (belongs to lxc:rclone; VMIDs are cluster-wide).
pct_create now checks in-use VMIDs via `pvesh get /cluster/resources` and
falls back to `pvesh get /cluster/nextid` when the requested id is taken.
- InlineApproval.svelte reset its state on every prop change (done was also
compared against the wrong string), so the banner never cleared and each
click re-POSTed /decision. Rewritten to track outcome per executionId,
clear on success, and block resubmits.

Root cause of "asks permission but never acts": the approved pct_create
execution failed to parse because the LLM emitted `"privileged":0` /
`"nesting":1` (numbers) into strict `bool` fields, so the container was
never created. Compounded by a hardcoded template name (debian-13.0-1)
that no longer exists on the host, and no way for the agent to read the web.
- flexBool: accept 0/1, "true", bool for privileged/nesting (the exact prod failure)
- pct_create template pre-flight: list host cache, validate/auto-pick newest debian
- pct_create services[] + post_install: one approval provisions a working service
- new http_get MCP tool (sanitized, size-capped, SSRF-guarded) — agent can read repos/sites
- request_execution description: target=host, full JSON schema + example
- SOUL.md: agent CAN fetch the web; prefer one-step provisioning
- default model deepseek-v4-flash -> v4-pro; maxIterations 15 -> 25
- unit tests for flexBool, template resolve, pkg sanitize, HTML sanitize + SSRF block
Verified live on host:strong with a throwaway VMID 999: template auto-resolved,
container created + booted, services installed, post_install ran, then destroyed.

- Execution entity name now includes UUID suffix: 'pct_create on host:strong (abc12345)'
so the (type,name) UNIQUE constraint doesn't block subsequent executions for the
same target+action. Dedup now uses JOIN + LIKE prefix match to find only
pending_approval executions.
- Move persistent approval bar from top of messages area to just above the
chat input box (bottom-fixed position, above the textarea form).
- Add dedup in request_execution: check entities(type,name) uniqueness before
creating duplicate executions. Returns 'already queued' message to the LLM,
preventing tool-calling loops.
- Fix createApproval JSON payload: use json.Marshal instead of fmt.Sprintf
to escape params (could contain unescaped double quotes from JSON config).
- Add ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING to entity/execution inserts for dedup race safety.
- Persistent approval bar at top of Chat.svelte: aggregates pendingApprovals
from all messages, fixed position (won't scroll away). Approve/deny/approve-all.
- Update SOUL.md: agent must STOP after queuing a gated action.
- Fix ToolCallGroup reactivity: wasActive = (active).
- Empty/refusal responses retried once, then surfaced as errors instead of silent blanks
- Chinese refusal boilerplate detected via denylist + non-ASCII heuristic
- Bulk-tool preference added to SOUL.md (list_lxcs over per-entity get_lxc_state)
- Tool results truncated to 4KB on persist; get_state_snapshot filters null-state entities
- Session delete (DELETE /sessions/{id} + confirm-on-second-click UI)
- Session titles auto-generated from assistant answer instead of raw user message
Problem: every host/service/lxc/etc. entity_status row was permanently
stuck at 'unknown' since creation. Verified against the live DB:
metric_samples had 17,559 rows, 100% attached to type='check' probe
entities and 0% to any real monitored entity; only 25 check entities
ever had real health written. check_defs.entity_id (the probe's own
bookkeeping entity) and check_defs.target_id (the host/service actually
being observed) were both real fields, but the scheduler wrote
UpsertEntityStatus/InsertMetricSample/emitSchedulerEvent keyed by
entity_id instead of target_id — so every check ran and every result
was real, it just landed on the wrong row. This is the mechanism behind
observed drift: the agent's dashboard/health tools reported the
internal probes' state, never the actual fleet.
Change:
- scheduler.go: runCheck/resolveSignal now resolve targetID from
cd.TargetID (falling back to the check's own id if unset) and write
status/metrics/events there. Signals stay keyed by the check entity,
unchanged, matching their existing resolution logic.
- Added a staleness sweep to housekeeping(): an entity whose last
observation is older than 3x its fastest enabled check's interval
(floor 5m) is marked 'stale' and emits health.stale, so a stalled
scheduler or disabled check_def can no longer look like current data
forever.
- migrations/016: deletes the now-orphaned check-entity entity_status
rows so dashboard/fleet-health rollups stop double-counting probes as
monitored entities. Historical metric_samples on check entities are
left as-is (time-series data, not safe to reattribute).
- openapi.yaml + regenerated gen code: Entity gains health/last_check_at;
'stale' added to the health enum everywhere it's used.
- dashboard.go / GetFleetHealth / nomos's get_health_summary MCP tool:
exclude type='check' entities from rollups.
- nomos/agent.go: replay prior turns' tool_use/tool_result pairs into
the conversation instead of dropping them (previously only final text
was replayed, forcing the agent to re-derive fleet state every turn),
and inject a compact live fleet-health snapshot into the system prompt
each turn so it starts oriented instead of spending an iteration on
discovery.
Risk: config_mutation (schema-adjacent — new migration, no destructive
DDL, additive DELETE only on orphaned rows). No behavior change until
oikos-api/oikos-scheduler/nomos are rebuilt and redeployed.
Verification: go build/vet clean across the repo. Ran this worktree's
own API binary against the live dev Postgres on an alternate port
(read-only from the live containers' perspective) and confirmed
/api/v1/entities now returns health/last_check_at, and the dashboard
health rollup dropped from double-counting to an honest 168 unmonitored
entities (matches reality pre-deploy — the live scheduler hasn't run
the fixed code yet). Confirmed check_defs.target_id correctly maps
multiple checks to host:hubris via direct psql query.
