Root cause of "chat gave me no further feedback — had to go to Ops": two
compounding bugs, found by reading the actual production session transcript.
1. InlineApproval.svelte — all of last session's live-status/self-heal work —
was never imported or rendered anywhere. Chat.svelte had its own separate,
much dumber approval bar (no status tracking, no destructive handling, just
silently disappears after clicking) that WAS the one users actually saw.
Deleted the dead bar and its state; InlineApproval now renders per-message.
2. chat.ts's extractApprovals hardcoded `tool.name === 'request_execution'`,
so any approval raised by the newer `run` tool was invisible — no card, no
feedback, nothing to self-heal, forcing the operator to the Ops page with
zero acknowledgement in the conversation. This was the actual proximate
cause of last night's destroy-135 session. Fixed to match on response
shape, not tool name, so it doesn't silently break again for the next new
gated tool.
3. Nomos was telling operators "type something like 'I confirm destroy 135'"
for destructive actions (SOUL.md) but no backend path ever consumed that
phrase — chat-assent explicitly (and correctly) excludes destructive from
loose assent, but I never built the alternative. Added
isTypedConfirmation() (cmd/nomos/assent.go): stricter than loose assent,
requires an explicit "confirm" statement, only applies to destructive-
flagged pending approvals.
4. InlineApproval's completed-state hardcoded "Provisioned successfully" —
wrong/confusing for a destroy or arbitrary `run` command. Now says
"Completed on <target>" and shows the actual command output, verified live
against the real destroy-135 execution.
Verified live in a real browser against the production API/DB (dev server
proxying to :8090): the historical stuck session now retroactively renders
both executions as resolved with correct wording and real output.
