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.

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.
