New tool batches session discoveries into the knowledge graph:
- Creates a session-audit knowledge entry with summary
- Links it to all touched entities via 'documents' relationships
- Creates individual discovery knowledge entries
- Stamps each entity with last_agent_session attribute
- Updates AGENTS.md with tool listing
P0: Transport escalation in classifyAndGate (server.go:745) now exempts
log-inspection commands (tail/head/cat/journalctl on *.log or /logs/)
from the /opt//etc//var/lib/ gating on LXC targets. Fixes the
'tail -3 /opt/seanime/data/logs/seanime.log queued for approval' bug.
P1: queryEntity returns actionable error when slug_or_id param is empty
('slug_or_id is required') instead of silent 'entity not found: '.
P2: Added slugArg() helper (server.go) so get_entity, get_relations,
get_blast_radius, and explain accept 'slug' as an alias for their
declared param name. Solves the discoverability inconsistency where
every tool used a different param name for the same concept.
P3: Two new MCP tools:
- restart_service(target, service) — systemctl restart wrapper,
correctly classified config_mutation (requires approval)
- push_file(target, source_path, dest_path, backup=true) — pct push
from Proxmox host into LXC, with optional backup. Classified
config_mutation. LXC-only for now.
P4: Updated homelab-lxc-ops skill with MCP tools preference table.
Plus: Wails desktop build now uses build-tag approach for frontend embed
(assets_embed.go + assets_stub.go), so go build ./... works on
clean checkout without the frontend built first.
Version: 0.31.0 → 0.32.0
Adds pvecm_quorum_check.sh probe script and wires it into the
checkdefaults system as a new 'quorum' monitoring kind on proxmox-host
entities. Runs every 60s via ssh-script, surfaces unhealthy signal when
cluster loses quorum.
Closes the monitoring blind spot that let the 2026-08-12 3.5h corosync
flapping outage go undetected (ping passed, cluster was non-quorate).
Changes:
- seeds/ontology.yaml: proxmox-host declares monitoring: [quorum]
- internal/checkdefaults/defaults.go: KindQuorum builder
- internal/checkdefaults/build_test.go: 2 new test cases
- checks/pvecm_quorum_check.sh: new probe (deployed to hubris + strong)
- VERSION: 0.30.2 -> 0.31.0
Two fixes from the deploy pipeline audit:
1. Infisical tag v0.99.1 no longer exists on Docker Hub — bumped to
v0.162.19 (latest available). This was silently breaking the full
deploy pipeline (docker compose up failed on image pull).
2. Deploy failures now notify via two channels:
- Oikos API event (deploy.failed, severity=critical) — picked up by
the scheduler's notifier for Matrix alert
- Matrix webhook URL if MATRIX_WEBHOOK_URL is configured
Uses a trap with _ok flag to catch any non-zero exit path,
including CI gate rejections and health check timeouts.
Webhook now resolves and passes OIKOS_API_TOKEN to deploy.sh.
Registers a handler that serves the embedded OpenAPI 3.0 spec
(compiled into the binary via oapi-codegen) at a browseable
endpoint. Uses gen.GetSwagger() to deserialize the embedded
base64+gzip spec and returns it as JSON.
46 paths, 42 schemas — agents and humans can now introspect the
full API surface without reading Go source.
Read-only diagnostic commands ethtool, lsmod, lspci, modinfo, and dkms
were missing from the readOnlyLeadPattern in the command classifier,
causing compound diagnostic commands (e.g. 'uname -r && ethtool -i eno1
&& lsmod | grep r8169') to be misclassified as config_mutation instead
of read_only. This forced operator approval for simple hardware/driver
inspection during the 2026-08-12 hubris NIC cutover session.
Added regression test with the exact compound command from that session.
New EntityGraph.svelte app (sigma.js + graphology):
- Theme-aware Gruvbox palettes (light/dark) with reactive color switching
- Lucide icons rendered synchronously via Path2D canvas per entity type
- Color mode toggle (Health / Type) with per-type distinct colors
- Health distribution bar with clickable filters
- Entity type filters grouped by ontological layer (collapsible)
- Relationship type edge filters with color-coded swatches
- Quick presets: All / Problems / Infra
- Node selection with live blast radius from API
- Hover neighborhood highlighting with muted fade
- Isolated node hiding, edge alpha tuning, dot-grid background
- Search with camera focus on highest-degree match
createTaskEntity creates the task entity but never adds any graph
edges. The involves edges are only added by the run handler, so
sessions that call set_goal but never make a run call leave orphan
task entities with zero relationships.
Adds an idempotent involves edge from the new task to agent:nomos
at creation time, matching the same pattern used for run's involves
edges in server.go.
Every run call creates a classification entity, but it was never
connected to the execution via a graph edge — only via a DB column
(executions.classification_id). The ontology requires:
classification —precedes→ execution
Without this edge, all 53 classification entities had zero
relationships, making them invisible to get_relations and
blast-radius analysis.
Adds an idempotent INSERT into relationships after the existing
classification_id update, matching the same pattern used for
targets edges.
The healthcheck subcommand was reachable only after main()'s Infisical secrets
resolution (4x retries/key, ~30s when Infisical is down), which blew the 5s
Docker healthcheck timeout — so nomos stayed docker-unhealthy despite serving
/healthz fine. Short-circuit 'nomos healthcheck' at the top of main() before
any secrets init; measured 0.58s, no Infisical retries.
The nomos runtime image is gcr.io/distroless/static (no shell/wget), so the
wget-based healthcheck (D5) could never run — nomos showed docker-unhealthy
despite serving /healthz fine. Add a 'nomos healthcheck' subcommand that
self-probes NOMOS_LISTEN/healthz (exit 0 on 200), and point the compose
healthcheck at ["/nomos", "healthcheck"].
Measured startup is ~93s: NewHandler stalls on Infisical auth retries (~40s)
and OIDC discovery timeouts to auth.hubris.network (~35s) before binding
:8090. The api IS healthy once bound (serves /healthz); the window just needs
to clear both external-timeout phases so nomos (depends_on: api-healthy) can
start and the deploy completes.
The api retries Infisical at startup (4x with backoff) before binding :8090.
When Infisical is unreachable that adds ~60s, and the old start_period (10s)
+ 10 retries (~60s grace) ran out just before the bind — marking the api
unhealthy and failing the deploy (nomos depends_on api-healthy). 90s covers
the slow-startup window; the api genuinely serves /healthz once bound.
The procedural-glyph-engine dep pointed at a non-portable file:/private/tmp/orby-pkg
path, breaking npm ci in Docker and every main deploy since v0.20.0 (the build
cache masked it until it busted ~Aug 5). Vendor Orby v5.0.0 into web/vendor/,
switch the dep to file:../vendor, and use npm install in the web Dockerfile
(file: deps need install, not ci). Cherry-picked from 3cd4cf9.
- Wire secretsManager in NewHandler() — instantiate InfisicalBackend
when OIKOS_INFISICAL_SITE_URL is set (previously always nil)
- Add get_secret, list_secrets, set_secret MCP tools with nil-backend
graceful degradation
- Add oikos secret get|set|list CLI subcommands for Infisical
- Fix Set() bug: create-before-update so new keys are created;
add Type: "shared" to Update so it finds the right secret;
disable SDK cache so Get returns fresh data after Set
- Clean enrollment response: remove fake infisical_client_id/
infisical_client_secret stubs, store age key in Infisical for real
- classifyAndGate: escalate read-only commands on lxc: targets that
touch /opt/, /etc/, /var/lib/ to config_mutation. The classifier
scores command text only, not the SSH transport layer — SSH-ing into
a container to read config is riskier than pct exec from the host.
- ontology: standalone-server monitoring override from inherited
[ping, resource, updates] to [http]. VPS-like machines may not be
SSH/ICMP-reachable from the scheduler; HTTP is the LCD liveness
signal. Entities with full SSH can override per-entity.
- get_health_summary: filter out state=destroyed entities (was noise
from 20+ destroyed test LXCs, deprecated services, etc.)
- create_entity: document the monitoring footgun in the tool description
(creating a type=check entity does NOT wire a check_def; the correct
path is update_entity_attributes with monitoring + url attributes)
Adds a new 'dns' semantic monitoring kind that probes whether a DNS name
resolves. Uses net.LookupNS (NS records) with fallback to net.LookupHost
(A/AAAA). Supports an explicit server config for split-horizon resolution.
Changes:
- seeds/ontology.yaml: dns-zone monitoring: none → [dns] (was deferred
since 2026-06 with a comment 'no dns checker exists yet')
- seeds/inventory.yaml: host:netbird-vps monitoring: [http] (was none;
VPS was invisible for 7 days during the 2026-07-29 outage)
- internal/checkdefaults/defaults.go: add KindDNS, buildKind case for 'dns'
that creates a check_def at 5-minute intervals
- internal/scheduler/scheduler.go: add checkDNS probe + wire in executeCheck
The DNS checker catches stale/unreachable zones (e.g. matrix.hubris.network
pointing to a dead VPS IP). The VPS HTTP check probes the public endpoint
every 60s, closing the 7-day monitoring gap.
I — run pre-flights QEMU guest agent before queueing VM execution
classifyAndGate now checks vm: targets for qemu_guest_agent attribute.
If not_running/missing, returns immediate error instead of queuing forever.
II — policy.yaml: documented host-mutation classifier rule
Added comment clarifying that host-level package/kernel mutations
(apt-get install, dpkg, systemctl enable) always classify as
config_mutation and thus need operator approval.
III — health attribute read-only in update_entity_attributes
Strips scheduler-owned keys (health, last_check_at, last_check) from
attribute updates with a clear message directing agents to
get_health_summary / list_checks instead.
IV — Recorded discovered dependency edges
vm:zimaos → depends-on → lxc:nfs-export (NFS /media/library mount)
vm:zimaos → depends-on → host:strong (NFS /media/ludo-library mount)
Also updated the run tool description to mention both guardrails.
get_relations now accepts an optional 'types' (comma-separated) parameter
to filter relationship types — filters out the noisy exec/targets edges
that previously drowned useful host/provides edges.
get_health_summary now accepts an optional 'health' (comma-separated)
parameter to return only entities in specific health states (e.g.
'health=down,stale') instead of the full 100+ entity list.
ping_service now:
- Falls back to e.attributes->>'public_host' when 'url' is not set
(covers LXCs that only have public_host in the graph)
- Performs a live HTTP HEAD probe against the resolved URL, returning
the actual status code instead of just the scheduler's stale health
state
Also: fixed matrix.hubris.network DNS record (was pointing to dead VPS),
pruned 6 dead graph edges, wired url attributes on 7 LXCs, added VPS
HTTP monitoring check, and resolved the 18k-occurrence unmonitored signal.
This session's audit is documented as
document:nomos/2026-08-05-dns-monitoring-improvements-for-strong-hosted-services.
- Add MCP tool — lightweight connectivity check returning server
identity, no DB hit (resolves agent connection-test friction)
- Tighten 6 tool descriptions (get_relations, get_health_summary,
query_metrics, get_trend, get_event_timeline, ping) to be searchable
in the first 8-12 words
- Document Hermes MCP client setup in ADR-0012 with token security caveat
- Move completed plan to plans/done/
Backend:
- Add isThinking flag to agentEvent for text before tool calls
- Separate thinking from response text in runChatTurn and continue.go
- Persist thinking in a dedicated field in message content
Frontend:
- Add thinking field to MessageContent, ChatMessage, ChatTextEvent types
- Create ThinkingBlock.svelte — collapsible block with brain icon
- SSE handler moves text_delta content to thinking on isThinking flag
- Render thinking block between tools and response in ChatThread
- Fix chat window scroll reset on focus change (stable windowKeys order)
- Remove redundant #key id wrapper in WindowLayer
- Enlarge sidebar rail (24→32 default, 40→60 max)
- Remove glyph from sidebar, square graph at top
- Replace AgentTrace/ToolCallCard/UnifiedTimeline with TurnTrace/ToolLine
The "Working — message will queue" strip lived inside the sized input Pane, so
appearing/disappearing ate the textarea's fixed height and clipped it, forcing
a resize. Move it into the message Pane alongside the connection/error banners
— those correctly consume transcript space (flex-1) rather than the input's
fixed height. The input Pane is now stable whether or not a background turn is
running. Styling/idiom unchanged.
VERSION: 0.17.2 -> 0.17.3
The background-working hint was a plain muted text line bolted above the
textarea — misaligned with the input column and off-idiom. Restyle it as a
terminal status strip: spinner + uppercase fg "Working" label + muted detail,
hairline primary-tinted border (matching .trace.running), square, aligned to
the textarea's max-w-3xl column. Reads as part of the working state now.
VERSION: 0.17.1 -> 0.17.2
git mv staged the pre-edit index content; the status edits to these two
files landed in the working tree but not the archive commit. Amending the
status now so the archived copies reflect Implemented.
Move ten completed plans from plans/ to plans/done/ and update the index:
- 2026-07-18 session-review-three-sessions, 2026-07-20 desktop-mascot,
2026-07-20 session-review-ten-sessions, 2026-07-21 chat-full-polish,
2026-07-29 health-check-reality-and-knowledge-graph,
2026-07-30 session-review-plan-drift, and the four 2026-08-03 chat plans
(changes-review, reliability-and-ux-audit, cyberspace-style-adoption,
working-visibility).
- Refresh two stale statuses: cyberspace-style-adoption ("Draft" -> shipped as
full replacement in v0.16.0/757ef2f) and health-check-reality ("ready for
implementation" -> shipped across the v0.14.x-0.16.x check commits).
- .gitignore: ignore local tooling artifacts (.playwright-mcp/, config-screen.png).
No code change. index.md Active/Done tables now match the filesystem (no orphans).
VERSION: 0.17.0 -> 0.17.1
Make background/long/desynced turns visible and queueable, fixing the four
symptoms that survived the v0.15.0 chat reliability pass.
F1 - status-driven working signal (workspace.ts taskWorking/currentWorking =
streaming OR status in {planning,executing}). Drives the chat trace, indicator,
and activity spinner so a turn with no live stream (background resume, a dropped
SSE, an idle-close mid long turn) still looks alive.
F2 - operator messages sent during an in-flight turn are now QUEUED and
auto-run when the gate frees, replacing the "still finishing a previous step...
send it again" rejection. Per-session in-memory FIFO (messagequeue.go, capped at
20) drained one-at-a-time under the turn gate; a `queued` SSE event drives a
"Queued" hint. drainQueued releases via a per-iteration deferred closure so a
runChatTurn panic can't deadlock the session's gate.
F3 - SSE keepalive (12s `:keepalive` comment) in handleChat so 20-40s
inter-iteration gaps no longer trip a proxy/browser idle close (the desync root
cause). All SSE writes serialized through one mutex.
F4 - generation-aware activity timeline (only the last propose_plan renders;
superseded ones collapse to one "Earlier plan revised" marker; step-attribution
follows only the current generation) + debounced plan refetch on lifecycle
events so a missed plan.proposed self-heals.
Verified against the last session (23da10db: 6m33s turn, operator "status"
deferred at 19:48:05). go test ./cmd/nomos/ green (new messagequeue tests);
web vitest 72/72 (new F4 generation tests); vite build clean.
VERSION: 0.16.0 -> 0.17.0
Rebrand light/dark themes to the cyberspace.online look: warm cream-on-black
palette (light/dark are exact inverses), self-hosted JetBrains Mono + VT323,
square corners, border-driven surfaces with no soft shadows. Adds a terminal
design-system CSS layer (DOS double-border modals with hatched corner, fg focus,
inversion-on-hover), a theme-aware <RasterImage> (Atkinson-dithered canvas with
img fallback), and unifies desktop icons, taskbar, window controls, pills and
links under one idiom. Pins window titlebars to a fixed height and switches chat
auto-scroll off scrollIntoView to avoid titlebar reflow.
VERSION 0.15.1 -> 0.16.0
