session reliability: reconnect, knowledge loop, retire request_execution
Phase 1 — crash recovery: SSE auto-reconnect + backoff, polling gate
during disconnect, connection banner with retry button, empty-response
retry 3x, non-terminal resume on empty response, persistent error cards.

Phase 2/4 — visibility + continuation: custom ExecutionStatus renderer,
approvals extracted on every tool_result (not just done), activity bar
with status/goal, SessionDigest live polling, Continue button.

Phase 3 — cleanup: complete_task auto-cancels orphaned approvals,
deletes assent/destructive window keys, propose_plan marks pending
steps as replaced, plan step seq-order enforcement.

Phase 5 — knowledge loop: list_lxcs state filter (active/destroyed),
SOUL.md unmissable writeback section, propose_plan validation nudge,
complete_task writeback check, upsert_knowledge about array support,
plan generation grouping in frontend, session approval count badge.

Retire request_execution — all mutations now route through run.
Updated SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, CLIENTS.md, skills, and agent system notes.

Migration 020: plan step generation column, audit_log session_id index,
nomos_plan_executions pending-approval index.

# Session review
Analyze Nomos chat sessions from the live database, diff objectives
against outcomes, and propose fixes.
## 1. Retrieve session data
```bash
# List recent sessions
curl -s http://localhost:8092/sessions | jq '.sessions[:5]'
# Fetch one session with messages
curl -s http://localhost:8092/sessions/{session_id} | jq .
```
## 2. Classify the session
For each session determine:
| Dimension | Check |
|-----------|-------|
| Objective | What was the user trying to accomplish? |
| Outcome | Was it achieved? (read final assistant text) |
| Tool calls | Count, unique tools, redundancy (e.g., N+1 fan-out) |
| Blockers | Missing action? Missing tool? Model refusal? Empty response? |
| User frustration | Did the user need to clarify/correct/repeat? |
| Message sizes | Content blob sizes — truncation needed? |
## 3. Key failure signatures
| Signature | Root cause | Fix |
|-----------|-----------|-----|
| Agent: "I can't run X" | Missing target or capability | Use `run` with shell command — there is no fixed action enum anymore |
| Agent: "No local knowledge on that" + no web tool | Missing `http_get` / web fetch MCP tool | Add MCP tool |
| Empty assistant bubble (text="", no tools) | Model returned blank completion | Retry + error surfacing |
| Non-English boilerplate refusal | Flash-tier model degradation | Response quality guard |
| >30 tool calls per turn, same tool repeated | N+1 fan-out instead of bulk tool | Enrich bulk tools + tighten SOUL.md |
| Message >50KB in DB | Raw tool results persisted verbatim | Truncation in `store.go` |
## 4. Extract patterns across sessions
```bash
# All sessions summary
curl -s http://localhost:8092/sessions | jq -r '.sessions[] | "\(.id[:8]) \(.title[:80]) \(.created_at[:16])"'
# Message count + tool count per session
for id in $(curl -s http://localhost:8092/sessions | jq -r '.sessions[].id'); do
msgs=$(curl -s "http://localhost:8092/sessions/$id" | jq '.messages | length')
tools=$(curl -s "http://localhost:8092/sessions/$id" | jq '[.messages[].content.tool_calls | length] | add')
echo "$id $msgs msgs $tools tools"
done
```
## 5. Output format
```
Session: {id[:8]} — "{title[:60]}"
Messages: {N} ({user}/{assistant})
Tool calls: {total} across {turns} turns
Top tools: {name:count, name:count, ...}
Objective: {one-line summary}
Outcome: ✅ / ❌ / ⚠️
Blockers: {list or "none"}
Fixes needed: {concrete actions}
Severity: blocker | friction | cosmetic
```
