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superseded event when prior goal is overwritten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.
Migration 018 adds goal/status/outcome/summary/entity_id to agent_sessions
and creates session_plan_steps + session_questions. Registers a 'task'
entity type and an 'involves' (task→entity) relationship in the ontology
so each session anchors its knowledge and involved-entity edges on the
existing relationships graph.
nomos createSession now mints a task:<session-id> entity (type task) and
links it via agent_sessions.entity_id — best-effort so chat never blocks on
it. listSessions/GET /sessions surface the new task fields.
No behaviour change yet; this is the data foundation for the task board and
live context panel. Verified end-to-end against the local stack: migration
applied, ontology ingested (60 types/47 rels), a new session mints a linked
task entity and the API returns status/goal/entity_id.

- knowledge.go: scan tags as []string from pgx (not JSON)
- seed.go: convert tags to PG array format, fix runbook applies_to_type
- convert-wiki.py: fix entity slug prefixes to match inventory.yaml
(host: not proxmox-host:, ws: not workstation:, service:homelab-mcp with hyphen)
- convert-wiki.py: read from archive/knowledge/ since wiki was archived
- lxc:rclone verified live as LXC 132 on hubris (pct list via MCP);
hosts edge added
- /mnt/library backing storage identified from hosts/hubris.md: 'library'
lvmthin pool, 3.7T, 2nd NVMe — added pool:library-hubris + contains edge
- all 8 derived services (books/seanime/roms/house/jellyseerr/qbit/sab/
teddy) confirmed responding over their ingress URLs
