Session-review implementation for the three sessions audited in
plans/2026-07-18-session-review-three-sessions.md. v0.7.11 → v0.7.12.
P0.1 — retry cap + investigate-before-retry (cmd/nomos/retrycap.go,
agent.go): after 3 identical failing run calls in a single turn, refuse
to dispatch the call again and return a directive to investigate *why*
(ps/strace/lsof) or surface the blocker. Per-turn scope so a fresh turn
after the operator responds can retry once more. Session 1e9c7691's 20+
identical chown retries (knfsd held a kernel lock on the exported NFS
dir) is the direct motivation.
P0.2 + P1.8 + P2.10 — SOUL.md guidance: hung command is not a failed
command (investigate before retry); ask before proposing a multi-step
migration; multi-goal sessions summarize the arc not just the last goal.
P1.3 — two new runbook entities in seeds/knowledge.yaml:
- nfs-exported-dir-mutation-hang (the knfsd fchownat lock procedure:
killall → exportfs -u → mutate → exportfs -a → verify)
- netbird-mgmt-oidc-race-after-upgrade (docker restart netbird-mgmt
after ~30s for the traefik/authentik OIDC race)
P1.4 — setGoal emits task.superseded event when prior goal is overwritten
by a different goal (store.go, TestSetGoal_SupersededEvent). Session
55927f0a had two set_goal calls with the first silently abandoned.
P1.5 — inspect_path MCP tool: runs mount/df/ls/stat for one path across
up to 8 targets in one parallel call, replacing the 15+ run-call
fact-gathering fan-out sessions 1 and 2 each spent on cross-target path
tracing (tools.go, server.go: inspectPathAcrossTargets, inspectOneTarget).
P1.6 — vm: target support in run via qm guest exec (no more SSH-hop
with nested quoting). Extracted shared resolveProxmoxHostSlug for
LXC + VM, with hosts-relationship fallback when attributes.host is
absent (server.go, tools.go). Session 55927f0a's SSH-hop workarounds
for vm:zimaos are the direct motivation.
Deferred (documented in plan): P1.7 (approval window auto-extend on
timeout) and P2.9 (long-running command PENDING detection) — both
addressed at lower cost by the retry cap. Session 3's poll-after-timeout
pattern already works; the cap protects against the failure mode.
R13 — on-client path reconciliation:
- AGENTS.md: 6 occurrences of /opt/homelab-context/ → /opt/homelab/
(sections 1, 2, 5, 7)
- .agents/NOMOS.md: 2 occurrences of /opt/homelab-context/ → /opt/homelab/
- CLIENTS.md already used /opt/homelab/ — now consistent across all docs.
The repo is still named 'homelab-context' (git remote), it just clones
to /opt/homelab/ on enrolled clients per CLIENTS.md.
R14 — golangci-lint/staticcheck/govulncheck tooling:
- .golangci.yml (new): config enabling govet, staticcheck, ineffassign,
unused, errcheck, gosimple, typecheck, misspell, revive. Excludes
generated code (internal/httpapi/gen/, internal/db/sqlcgen/) and
relaxes errcheck in test files.
- Makefile: split 'lint' target into vet, golangci, govulncheck subtargets.
Each checks if the tool is installed and prints install instructions
if not. 'make lint' runs all three.
- CI already had golangci-lint-action + govulncheck (both advisory);
the action auto-discovers .golangci.yml.
10 routes are registered manually on the chi router in server.go rather
than generated from openapi.yaml. Added a 'Non-OpenAPI routes' comment
block at the top of NewHandler listing each route with its structural
reason for the carve-out:
- Auth/infra: /healthz, /api/v1/auth/oidc-*, /oidc-callback — bypass
auth middleware or aren't JSON API
- SSE override: /api/v1/events/stream — re-registered for Flush()
- Ad-hoc aggregations: /knowledge/recent, /knowledge/content/{id},
/activity/recent, /activity/session/{id}, /learning/timeline,
/learning/trend — derived shapes with no schema type yet
Updated .agents/dev/CONTRIBUTING.md §OpenAPI codegen with the carve-out
policy: if an ad-hoc route stabilizes, promote it to openapi.yaml with a
proper schema and migrate the serve* function to a strict handler.
5 warnings → 0:
1. ActivityTimeline.svelte:103 — replaced deprecated <svelte:component
this={icon}> with direct dynamic component rendering ({@const IconComp
= icon}<IconComp />). In Svelte 5 runes mode, components are dynamic by
default; <svelte:component> is unnecessary.
2. DetailSection.svelte:18 — 'let open = (defaultOpen)' captured only
the initial value. Changed to (false) + to sync with
defaultOpen prop changes.
3. EntitySheet.svelte:10 — 'let currentSlug = (slug)' had the same
issue. Changed to <string|null>(null) + (the was
already there, now the initial value doesn't reference the prop).
4. theme.svelte.ts:23 — 'applyClass(current)' at module level referenced a
variable, capturing only the initial value. Changed to apply the
plain storedTheme() result for initialization; setTheme() already calls
applyClass() on changes.
5. Chat.svelte:326 — unused CSS selector '.prose-chat
:global(:first-child):is(h1,h2,h3)' replaced with explicit
:global(> h1:first-child) etc. (the :first-child pseudo wasn't matching
because the scoped wrapper div is the actual first child).
Build is now warning-free.
Rewrote .agents/domains/knowledge/schema.md and .agents/shared/llm-wiki.md
which described the deleted Python substrate (bin/homelab, oikos/cards/,
oikos/ledger.py, root inventory.yaml, knowledge/sources/, get_page/
search_docs MCP tools). Now reflect ADR 0003: Postgres DB is the single
source of truth for structured data and narrative knowledge; seeds/*.yaml
are bootstrap+DR manifests (content-hashed via seed_versions); archive/
knowledge/ is the frozen legacy wiki; MCP search_knowledge/get_entity_
knowledge replace get_page/search_docs.
Swept substrate refs in .agents/shared/{writing-style,page-templates}.md
and .agents/domains/operations/schema.md: bare inventory.yaml ->
seeds/inventory.yaml; knowledge/sources/ -> archive/knowledge/sources/
(historical); get_changelog/oikos/ledger.py -> DB audit trail / structured
document changelog field; HERMES -> Nomos.
Root inventory.yaml (618-line Python-era file superseded 2026-07-07 by
seeds/inventory.yaml) replaced with a deprecation stub pointing to the seed
and DB. Kept as a stub rather than deleted because AGENTS.md §1/§2 still
point clients at /opt/homelab-context/inventory.yaml; full on-client path
reconciliation deferred to R13.
Flagged export gap: oikos export regenerates seeds/{ontology,inventory,
policy}.yaml but NOT seeds/knowledge.yaml — API-added knowledge lives only
in the DB until hand-edited into the seed.
VERSION 0.7.7 -> 0.7.8. Plan R5 marked done.
Deleted 8 genuinely unused sqlc queries (no inline equivalent):
- UpsertCurrentRelationship, ListEntitiesCapped, ListEntityStatus,
UpdateSignalState, InsertClassification, InsertFeedback, InsertSkill,
UpsertCurrentRelationship — all had zero call sites.
Migrated 9 inline raw SQL sites to use sqlc queries:
- GetOntology (impl.go): ListEntityTypes, ListRelationshipTypes,
ListLifecycleDefs — replaces 3 raw pool.Query blocks with typed sqlcgen
calls, eliminating manual row scanning.
- EndRelationship (phase3.go): EndCurrentRelationship — replaces tx.Exec
with sqlcgen.New(tx).EndCurrentRelationship.
- checkPrecondition (impl.go): GetEntityStatus — replaces tx.QueryRow +
manual Scan with sqlcgen.New(tx).GetEntityStatus.
- GetEntityRelations (impl.go): ListEntityRelations — replaces raw pool.Query
+ scanRelationships helper (now deleted).
- GetGraph (impl.go): ListGraphEdges — replaces raw pool.Query +
scanRelationships.
- resolveEntityID (impl.go): GetEntityBySlug/GetEntityByID — replaces
raw pool.QueryRow + Scan.
- createApproval (mcp/server.go): InsertApproval — replaces raw pool.Exec
with sqlcgen.InsertApproval.
Deleted scanRelationships helper (was only used by the two migrated
graph queries above).
Regenerated sqlcgen — also picks up stale model updates (AgentSession,
SessionPlanStep, SessionQuestion, etc. from recent migrations).
Documented the carve-out in .agents/dev/CONTRIBUTING.md §SQL conventions:
sqlc is the default; raw pool.Query/Exec is reserved for LISTEN/NOTIFY,
dynamic WHERE builders, blast_radius(), and COPY.
go vet, build, httpapi/mcp/db tests all pass. -383/+170 lines.
Tool-renderer registry (21 files, ~1.5k lines):
- src/lib/tool-renderers.ts — registry + getToolRenderer (exported, never
imported anywhere)
- src/lib/renderers/index.ts + 10 .ts registrars + 10 .svelte components
- main.ts: removed the requestAnimationFrame(() => import('./lib/renderers'))
that was the only thing keeping the dead subsystem alive
Dead components (never imported):
- ToolCallGroup, PlanProgress, GoalHeader, InlineApproval, SessionDigest
Dead store exports (written, never read):
- context.ts: pendingApprovals writable (+ Approval type import)
- events.ts: connectionState writable (+ its .set() calls)
Dead API surface:
- api.ts: SessionDigest interface + fetchSessionDigest (only caller was the
dead SessionDigest.svelte)
Dead npm deps:
- mode-watcher (0 imports; superseded by stores/theme.svelte.ts)
- @internationalized/date (0 imports)
Also: fix stale comments referencing deleted symbols, update plan R1/R2
status. Build clean (4683 modules, down from 4706; one Svelte 5 warning
gone — the dead HealthSummary.svelte was emitting state_referenced_locally).
P1: add docker compose (logs|ps|top|config|images|port|cp) to read-only
allowlist. docker compose logs was classified as config_mutation, causing
individual approval cards for read-only inspection commands.
P2: remove approval entries from activityLog. They were always status=running
and never transitioned to done (the derived store builds from tool-call
text, not execution status), causing AgentIndicator to latch onto a stale
'Approval: ...' entry and never clear — even after the session completed.
P3: remove InlineApproval from Chat.svelte. The green 'Completed in 1s on
lxc:...' boxes were noise in the chat stream. Approval UX belongs in the
Operations page (already has it via Ops.svelte), not inline in the chat.
P4: stale execution cleanup. Startup sweep (mark >1hr non-terminal as
cancelled) + 5-min periodic sweep (mark >10min non-terminal as cancelled).
98 orphaned executions accumulated from eval testing (39 running from
apt_upgrade:audit timeouts, 19 pending_approval, 3 approved).
P5: refuse second config_mutation run when an approval is already pending
for the session. Without this, the agent queues N individual approvals
before the operator can respond — confirmed in session 20757eb9 (two
approval cards for what should have been one plan-level approval).
VERSION 0.7.0 → 0.7.1
P1 plan-first: run handler refuses without propose_plan (structural gate,
not SOUL.md prose). Plan window decoupled from set_goal — config_mutation
auto-run only on operator approval (assent window). Closes the approval-free
config_mutation hole confirmed in session d0d562e0.
P2 iteration: reopenSession flips terminal→executing, marks prior plan steps
replaced, clears outcome. proposePlan excludes replaced from in-flight check,
bumps generation. A follow-up on a completed session starts a new sub-task
with a fresh plan — no more errPlanInFlight dead end.
P3 reasoning: accumulate per-iteration text into the persisted row instead
of overwriting with the last text event. Reload shows intermediate thinking,
not just the final summary.
P4 read-only allowlist: add find, tree, locate, systemctl list-timers/
list-unit-files/show, timedatectl, hostnamectl, systemd-analyze, rclone
ls/lsl/md5sum/check/cryptcheck. Fixes the find misclassification from
d0d562e0.
P5 eval harness: new assertion kinds (proposes_plan, plan_before_run,
plan_generations), multi-turn followups, fetch /sessions/{id}/plan. Four
manifests under evals/.
P6 SOUL.md: strip degenerate-case carve-out, add ITERATE step, update
set_goal guidance.
VERSION 0.6.0 → 0.7.0
The OIDC fix was committed in 3b98097 by a concurrent session. The plan's
status block was stale ('not yet committed/deployed') — updated to reflect
it's done. No remaining open items in this plan.
Status: In Progress → Done. All 18 fixes (A.1-A.3, B.1-B.6, C.1-C.2, D.1-D.2,
E.1-E.2, F.1-F.3) shipped in commits 337d577 + 3de359b + dd3076a, deployed
to oikos-nomos-1 (v0.5.3). The golden eval harness (cmd/nomos/eval/) passes
4/4 conversations, validating the structural gates + the SOUL.md
consolidation. Also fixed a pre-existing tool-call doubling bug found by
the eval harness.
Only remaining open item: the OIDC token-refresh fix (PM addition, web/src/
lib/{config,oidc,events}.ts) — implemented, not yet committed/deployed.
D.1 (complete_task refused without writeback) and D.2 (propose_plan
auto-appends writeback step) shipped in 3de359b (v0.5.1), e2e-validated
against the live agent. The knowledge loop is now structurally closed —
no blockers remain. Remaining items (F.1, F.2, C.1, C.2, B.4-B.6, E.1,
E.2) are all friction/cosmetic.
The overview background graph and the Knowledge Base graph both rendered
empty because the SPA's OIDC access token expired (~5 min TTL) and was
never refreshed. fetchWithAuth called getToken() synchronously (no refresh);
ensureToken returned the stale token without refreshing; storeTokens
discarded expires_in; the resulting 401 made fetchGraph return null and
both graphs drew nothing, with no error surfaced.
- oidc.ts: track expiresAt from expires_in; getToken() returns null within
30s of expiry; ensureToken/initOIDC refresh instead of returning stale
tokens; isOIDCConfigured no longer claims configured on expired-only state
- config.ts: fetchWithAuth awaits ensureToken (refresh on demand), falls
back to static token if OIDC can't yield one, flushes OIDC session on 401;
sseUrl is async + refreshes before constructing the EventSource
- stores/events.ts: connect() awaits the now-async sseUrl
Status was 'shipped & e2e-validated'; now reflects the commit (337d577),
push to main, and deploy to oikos-nomos-1 (v0.5.0) that followed the
e2e validation. D.1 (refuse complete_task without writeback) is the next
blocker.
Operator-reported bug: on 'proceed with the rest' the agent re-proposed the
plan, duplicating it in the sidebar. Root cause was a three-bug chain, not
one bug:
1. Trigger — model empty-response on 'proceed' (approval vocabulary didn't
list 'proceed', so the agent wasn't sure it was approved and no-op'd).
2. Amplifier — chatWith emitted 'error' without 'done' on empty response
(agent.go:370). The frontend's onComplete saw !receivedDone and
misclassified the model failure as a network disconnect, calling
handleDisconnect -> resumeSession.
3. Divergence — the reconnect note was generic ('report your state'), so
the agent re-proposed + re-executed instead of advancing the plan.
Fixes (shipped, e2e-validated against the live agent on oikos-nomos-1):
- A.2: proposePlan refuses re-proposal once a step has started (returns
errPlanInFlight). Drops the append-mode safety net (commit 5384499) that
was the direct source of the sidebar duplication. The agent must advance
with update_plan_step + run; the tool result directs it.
- A.1: proposePlan sets the 'generation' column on INSERT (migration 020
added the column + frontend grouping, but the INSERT never wired it).
- A.3: propose_plan tool description restated as a crisp contract (ONCE,
STOP and wait, REFUSES once a step started, advance with update_plan_step).
- F.3: approval vocabulary expanded to approved/yes/go/proceed/continue/ok/
go ahead; propose_plan result string tightened to an imperative.
- B.1: chatWith emits 'done' after 'error' on every terminal path via a new
emitError helper. The frontend now treats model errors as ended (not
disconnected), so no auto-reconnect -> resumeSession fires.
- B.2: reconnect/resume note carries the operator's last message + an
explicit 'advance the plan, do NOT call propose_plan again' directive when
a plan is in flight. Wired into all 4 resume entry points (reconnect,
/resume, idle-sweep, question-answer) via enrichResumeNote.
- B.3: resumeSession escalates the recovery note across its 3 attempts (final
retry: 'pick the lowest-pending step, mark it running, call run — do that
now') instead of 3 identical notes -> 3 identical empties.
Verification: TestProposePlan_RefuseInFlight replaces TestProposePlan_
AppendVsReplace. e2e conversations against the rebuilt container:
conv2 ('proceed with the rest') -> 0 propose_plan calls, plan stayed at
3 steps (was 6+ before), update_plan_step x5 + run x2 + complete_task.
conv3 (full plan, 'go ahead') -> apt-get update on lxc:dns auto-ran under
the plan window, update_entity_attributes writeback, clean complete_task.
nomos logs show zero reconnect/resume entries for the plan-proposing
sessions (the three-bug chain is closed).
Remaining (not in this commit): D.1 refuse complete_task without writeback
(next blocker), C.1/C.2, F.1/F.2 SOUL.md consolidation, B.4-B.6, E.1/E.2.
See plans/2026-07-14-post-fix-session-remainders.md.
Also: re-audit 2026-07-10-general-gated-execution.md — request_execution enum
retirement (60effcb) closes item 9; only auto-act revival (item 10) remains.
Version 0.4.1 -> 0.5.0 (minor: new structural behavior, not a bugfix).
- AgentIndicator now shows only during stream or when running tools exist
(not on session status=executing which never cleared)
- Activity timeline: oldest-first ordering (reads top-to-bottom naturally)
- Removed unused liveStatus derivation and currentTask import from Chat
- Plan: Phase A+B+C for activity gaps + plan-approve-once policy
- New ActivityTimeline: unified timeline in sidebar showing all agent actions
(goal, plan steps, tool calls, knowledge, completion) in reverse chron order
- activityLog derived store merges messages + planSteps + currentTask
- AgentIndicator stays in chat (thinking/working indicator), simplified props
- ToolCallGroup removed from chat — tools visible only in sidebar timeline
- SessionDigest replaced by ActivityTimeline
- PlanProgress restored in sidebar (conceptual steps, separate from timeline)
- New AgentIndicator component: replaces 3 separate indicators
(loading dots, ToolCallGroup summary, activity bar) with one
- Positioned as last item in message list — scrolls naturally
- Shows current tool action: 'Researching lxc:nfs-export…' etc
- Spinner during work, check on completion, X on error
- Fades out 3s after turn completes
- Activity bar, loading dots, statusLabel removed from Chat
- Continue button moved to sidebar session panel
- Activity bar moved to bottom of message list (before messagesEnd)
- Smart scroll: auto-scroll only during streaming or when near bottom
- Scrolling up pauses auto-scroll until next send
- Removed duplicate $effect block
- Plan: tool timeline in sidebar (plans/2026-07-14-tool-timeline-sidebar.md)
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).
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.

Fixes 1-3 deployed and verified live: fresh trivial Q&A sessions now reach
done immediately, and a goal-bearing session that stalled was correctly
nudged by the idle sweep. Fix 4 (backfill) was replaced with deletion after
the operator's call — verified against the DB first that zero knowledge
notes were linked to or written by any of the 53 removed sessions, so
nothing was lost. Documents the pagination gap in listSessions (hardcoded
LIMIT 50, no total count) that hid 6 of those sessions from the original
audit.
Also fixes relative links in this plan and in the UI-review plan that broke
when both moved from plans/ to plans/done/ (one directory level deeper).

Traced during UI-review verification: 50/50 live sessions are stuck
active/planning, never done/failed. Root cause confirmed against the
running DB — set_goal called once, propose_plan and complete_task
called zero times across all 50 sessions. The model consistently
skips the terminal complete_task call despite SOUL.md explicitly
instructing it to, especially for trivial single-tool Q&A turns.
Plan proposes an inline safety net for the common case plus an idle
sweep for structured goal/plan sessions that stall.

Fixes the reviewed gaps: keyboard-inaccessible delete controls (SessionRail,
Entities row), case-sensitive entity filter, two competing entity-detail
navigation patterns (standardize on EntitySheet), non-clickable Overview KPI
cards, a bare button bypassing the shared Button component, inconsistent
blur-only vs live filtering, and an unenforced sanitization assumption on
search snippet HTML (now using the already-present dompurify dependency).

Every finding from the review is now implemented and verified live:
A1 (3919ec3), B1+B2 (c5ffaec), A3 (926969a), D1-D3 (76f7630), A2 (c390164),
B3 (6d4f6de), F1 (11c18e8). C1 (nomos gateway has no authentication) remains
explicitly deferred per operator instruction. Kept in plans/ (not moved to
done/) since C1 is still open, matching how other partially-complete plans
in this index are tracked.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Full read-through of cmd/nomos/ (agent.go, store.go, main.go, continue.go,
assent.go, tasks.go). Findings, ranked:
- A1 (confirmed via runnable probe): isAssent/isTypedConfirmation use
unpadded substring matching for assent/confirm words while negation uses
word-boundary checks — "yes" matches inside "yesterday", "confirm" matches
inside "confirmed" with no negation word covering contracted negatives
("haven't"). isTypedConfirmation gates DESTRUCTIVE actions specifically.
- A2: chatWith replays a session's ENTIRE message history every turn, no
windowing/token budget — confirmed unbounded against a documented
production case (70 tool calls, 106KB messages).
- A3: a live turn's tool-call history is lost entirely if the client
disconnects mid-stream (single end-of-turn save using the same
connection-tied, possibly-cancelled context) — resumeSession already has
the fix pattern (incremental placeholder+update), handleChat doesn't use it.
- B1: zero recover() anywhere in cmd/nomos/internal/mcp/internal/httpapi —
every explicitly-spawned goroutine (continuation worker, resumeSession,
executeApprovedViaAPI, sse listeners) crashes the whole process on panic.
- B2: auto-continuation processes its batch sequentially, one full LLM turn
at a time, undercutting this session's own concurrency work on exactly the
path autonomous tasks depend on most.
- B3: no terminal state for a permanently-failed auto-continuation.
- C1: nomos's own gateway (port 8092, directly published + mesh-reachable)
has ZERO authentication on any endpoint — chat, session read/delete,
chat-assent approval of gated executions, all open to anyone on the LAN.
- D1-D3: dead code (isTaskTool unused), N+1 query in recordTouched, no
validation on complete_task's outcome enum.
- E: zero automated tests for agent.go/store.go/main.go/tasks.go — including
today's new safety-critical logic (session-scoped windows, mcpClientPool,
proposePlan's append-vs-replace), verified only by live manual testing.
- F1: tool list + fleet snapshot re-fetched every turn (minor).
Prioritized implementation order in the doc: A1 → C1 → B1 → B2 → A3 → D1-3 →
A2 → B3/F1, tests landing alongside each fix rather than as a deferred pass.
Also archives the now-fully-shipped concurrent-task-execution plan to done/
(all 3 required fixes deployed this session; fix 4 explicitly deferred per
its own recommendation).

New plan grounds three concurrency issues found by tracing the actual code
(not assumed): the assent/destructive windows are keyed by agent id only
(no session dimension), so an approved plan in one task can auto-run
unapproved actions in a concurrently-running task; nomos shares one
mutex-guarded MCP client across all sessions, so a single slow `run` call
serializes every other task's tool calls behind it; and chat.ts's SSE
callback has no session guard, so switching tasks mid-stream lets the
backgrounded task's events corrupt whatever's now displayed. Proposes
session-scoping the windows (critical/first), a frontend stream guard
(contained/second), a per-session MCP client pool (throughput/third), and
an optional concurrency cap (deferred pending real usage data).
Also archives the goal-oriented-chat-control-panel plan to done/ — all 7
phases shipped and are live in production (SHA e30813a) — fixing its
internal relative links for the new depth and pointing forward to the new
concurrency plan as follow-up hardening.

Reframes the chat surface as a board of tasks: each task carries a goal,
a plan approved once, a lifecycle status, an outcome, and a knowledge
loop that links learnings to the involved entities (and the task entity
itself) via relationships so future tasks compound. Supersedes the
sidebar-only framing and the free-form chat portion of the control-room
web UI plan.

Audited all 10 active plan docs against the codebase (not just commit
titles). 5 were fully shipped and stale-tagged "Planned"/"In Progress" —
moved to done/ with verification notes. The other 4 got corrected
Planned→In Progress status plus concrete remaining-gap notes so the next
pass doesn't re-derive what's already done.

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."

Operator directives: (1) the UI must show what's executing, its risk
classification, live status, and what knowledge the session created — the
system's growth should be visible, not just trusted. (2) approval should be
granted by chat assent ("go ahead"), not a separate button; destructive
actions still require a typed confirmation phrase.

Evaluate the agent's action path against the OIKOS.md design. Finding: the
intended model (unlimited runbook-driven actions gated by a risk classifier)
already exists on paper and in scaffolding, but the live agent path regressed
to a hard-coded 5-action enum that bypasses the classifier. Plan a layered
realignment: (0) one general gated `run` primitive, (1) runbooks-as-data as the
reliable fast-path, (2) learning. Chosen v1 posture: approve-most (read-only
auto-runs, all state changes gate). Incremental, each step shippable.

Inspected the live agent_sessions/agent_messages tables on mac-mini and
found silent empty responses, a canned non-English refusal after 22 tool
calls, 70-call fan-out for simple fleet questions, 100KB+ persisted
messages, and no session delete/title hygiene.

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.

- Audit trail: browseable audit log with actor/action/entity filters
Enhanced live events page with correlation-id clustering (Groups toggle).
Added fetchAgentActivity/searchKnowledge/fetchAudit to the API client.
11 nav items now cover all planned control-room views.
