Issue #6 (TUI startup error visibility): restructure run_tui lifecycle so pre-App.run() failures land on real stderr instead of getting eaten by the alt-screen teardown. New _resolve_then_run async helper opens the AsyncClient via async-with, does pre-flight session resolution, routes AgentNotFound / SessionApiFailed / network errors to sys.stderr (verbatim same labels + exit codes as cli._amain), then constructs RatatoskrApp with pre-resolved state and awaits app.run_async(). RatatoskrApp.__init__ signature widens to (args, *, session_id, agent_id, client) — all three required. on_mount narrows to identity-widget population; on_unmount becomes a no-op (client lifetime owned by run_tui's async-with). Issue #5 (--end-user-id for per-end-user agents): sessions.create_session gains keyword-only end_user_id kwarg with PRE-003 non-empty assertion; ParsedArgs.end_user_id field added (default None); --end-user-id flag with non-empty validation; _amain + _resolve_then_run thread it to their create_session calls. RATATOSKR_END_USER_ID env-var fallback (flag > env > None) per the post-2026-05-23 amendment; env.sh (gitignored) ships "ratatoskr-tui" as project-stable partition default. Worldtree-dev consumer-API follow-up (althing 01KSBARG2B8M): User-Agent header added (ratatoskr/<version> (vh@phasefinal.com), version pulled via importlib.metadata) to both AsyncClient constructions so server logs can distinguish ratatoskr traffic from other consumers. Volva code-review (2 rounds on #6) found 8 test-precision gaps + 1 PRE assertion drift, all Category 1 fixed: missing PRE-001 at _resolve_then_run entry; Rule separator assertions on markdown render; RichLog-write spy on empty submit; input-cleared + no-new-worker on cancelling busy; worker.cancel observation on three force-exit paths; on_unmount-no-close focused test (the prior client-lifetime test patched run_async so on_unmount was never exercised); happy --new resolve test verifying POST count + identity propagation. Issues #2/#3/#4/#5 contracts amended in-place to reflect: - create_session widened (PRE-003, body construction step, body shape POST) - ParsedArgs description + _parse_args STEPS + _amain create_session call + new TESTS for end_user_id + env-var fallback - _resolve_then_run STEPS + new TEST entries; on_mount narrowed; INV-007 amended for new client ownership - Post-#6 adjustment note on issue #5 (_resolve_then_run replaces on_mount as the threading site since #6 moved session resolution out of the alt-screen) 188 tests GREEN; ruff clean. Bumps to v0.1.0 — first minor release, the load-bearing reason is RatatoskrApp.__init__'s breaking signature change (additive end_user_id alone wouldn't have triggered a minor pre-v1.x). Files Gitea issues #9 (spec-pin refresh v0.19.0 → v0.22.1), #10 (track Worldtree #196 subject:{type,id} migration), #11 (AdminEvents pane auth prerequisite admin.events.read). Infra-ops pinged via althing for agents.call:lofn scope add (broker pattern; they forwarded to worldtree-dev because personal Worldtree exposes no public scope-mutation endpoint).

|
||||
`agents.call:lofn` is live, run `ratatoskr --new --agent lofn

|
||||
(any authenticated key works); issue is unblocked on auth side.
|
||||
Depends on #5 composably (both thread through `ParsedArgs` →
|
||||
`_resolve_then_run`).
|
||||
- **Issue #9 (spec-pin refresh v0.19.0 → v0.22.1)** — filed
|
||||
2026-05-23. Documentation debt; pin lies about the surface we're
|
||||
committed to. Worldtree v0.20.0 made `end_user_id` the partition
|
||||
key; v0.21.0 added `memory_context` field; v0.22.0 strengthened
|
||||
the `[MEMORY:DATA]` envelope. None break our existing surface.
|
||||
- **Issue #10 (subject:{type,id} migration)** — filed 2026-05-23 to
|
||||
track Worldtree #196's LOCKED-but-not-shipped breaking change.
|
||||
Worldtree-dev was explicit: don't pre-implement; deprecation

||||
warnings will fire per call as the heads-up when substrate ships.
|
||||
- **Issue #11 (AdminEvents pane auth prerequisite)** — filed
|
||||
2026-05-23. Future side-pane requires `admin.events.read` scope;
|
||||
documenting the gate so we don't forget when scheduling that pane.
|

Branch: `main` (clean after this commit). Remote:

`origin → git@gitea.phasefinal.com:vh/ratatoskr.git`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Next natural moves:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Resume issue #5 cadence** — `--end-user-id` flag for per-user agents
|
||||
(lofn). Contract drafted + parked; next steps: Volva paraphrase, TDD,
|
||||
smoke against lofn. Unblocks the Persona/Vili agent family.
|
||||
2. **Issue #6 (TUI startup error visibility)** — filed, unscaffolded.
|
||||
Restructure: move session-create out of `on_mount` into `run_tui`
|
||||
pre-App.run() so errors print to real stderr (not the alt-screen that
|
||||
tears down before user can read them). Independent of #5.
|
||||
3. **TUI smoke (operator-side)** — `source env.sh && uv run ratatoskr
|
||||
--new --agent mimir` from an interactive terminal. Validates Textual
|
||||
app lifecycle + post-Done markdown re-render end-to-end. Needs a TTY
|
||||
which CC sessions don't have.
|
||||
4. **Side-pane issues** — design-brief §5 lists 5 side panes (Persona,
|
||||
Tools, AdminEvents, BifrostState, ServerLog). Persona is the natural
|
||||
first (file-tail of `persona.log`).
|
||||
5. **Recorded SSE snapshot fixtures** from a running Worldtree.
|
||||
`--send --new > fixture` IS the recording probe.
|
||||
1. **Mimir regression smoke (operator-side)** — `source env.sh && uv
|
||||
run ratatoskr --new --agent mimir --send "test"` (and the
|
||||
`--send`-less TUI form) to verify backwards compat holds after
|
||||
issues #5 + #6 land. env.sh now ships
|
||||
`RATATOSKR_END_USER_ID="ratatoskr-tui"`.
|
||||
2. **Lofn smoke** — when infra-ops confirms scope-add.
|
||||
3. **Issue #8 (startup agent picker)** — scaffold + contract, then
|
||||
TDD. Unblocked by both #5 (end_user_id wired through
|
||||
`_resolve_then_run`) and worldtree-dev's auth confirmation for
|
||||
`GET /agents`.
|
||||
4. **Side-pane issues** — Persona pane first (file-tail, cheap).
|
||||
5. **Issue #9 (spec-pin refresh)** — defer until we actually need a
|
||||
v0.20.0+ capability, OR refresh now if doc-debt is bothering us.

- `[2026-05-21]` **Volva paraphrase + code-review across all 4 issues — calibration consistent.** Paraphrase rounds flag 3-5 contract ambiguities per issue; code-review rounds flag 3-8 code-vs-contract drifts after TDD-passing implementation. Hit rates: #1 paraphrase 3-of-5 amended / code-review 4 findings; #2 3-of-5 / 3 findings; #3 5-of-5 / 5 findings; #4 5-of-5 / 8 findings. The post-TDD code-review consistently catches three classes of gap the test-author's hypotheses don't cover: PRE-assertion boundary drift, exception-payload truncation / never-rendered-to-user observability misses, and "tested the state but not whether the user can see it" gaps (issue #4's primary finding: TUI footer state stored but never rendered to a visible widget — same-model TDD would systematically miss this).
|
||||
- `[2026-05-21]` **Manual smoke is load-bearing — found a real defect tests couldn't.** First wire-level smoke against personal Worldtree (post-TDD, post-Volva-code-review on #4) revealed httpx's default 5s read timeout killed the SSE connection mid-stream during mimir's thinking phase (~30s LLM latency >> 5s read timeout). The unit/contract test infrastructure (respx-mocked SSE wire) doesn't model real LLM latency, so the gap was invisible at the test layer. Fix: caller-owned `httpx.AsyncClient` constructed with `timeout=httpx.Timeout(connect=10.0, read=None, write=10.0, pool=10.0)`; defense in depth: `sse_client.stream_turn` ERROR_ROUTING catches `httpx.ReadTimeout` → `SseConnectionDropped`. Three contracts amended in-place to document the timeout policy. **Lesson: keep manual-smoke step in the per-issue cadence; mock-only validation is insufficient for streaming-against-real-server code.** Re-smoke succeeded: `[done] turn_id=88 model=qwen3.6-35-a3b duration_ms=2351`. Wire-compat envelope (personal v0.16.2 vs ratatoskr's v0.19.0 pin) confirmed end-to-end.

||||
- `[2026-05-22]` **Issues #5/#6/#7 filed: per-user-agent support + TUI-startup-visibility + mid-stream-robustness.** Discovered during 2026-05-22 mimir TUI conversation: long completion (turn 93, 1077 events consumed) crashed with `JSONDecodeError("Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)")` from `json.loads('')` on an empty-`data:` SSE frame. Diagnosis surfaced #7 (the crash). Earlier same day, `ratatoskr --new --agent lofn` failed with 422 `end_user_id_required` — surfacing #5 (`--end-user-id` flag needed for per-user agents). #6 (TUI alt-screen masks the diagnostic before user can read it) was a corollary observation. All three filed; user reordered to #7 first (highest-impact for daily TUI use).
|
||||
- `[2026-05-22]` **Issue #8 (startup agent picker) filed.** `GET /agents` exists in the vendored spec (spec line 832); returns `agent_id`, `name`, `description` + optional `version`, `capabilities`, `ui_hints`. `--agent` becomes conditionally optional: still required for `--send --new` (non-interactive); optional for TUI `--new`. When omitted in TUI mode, a new `AgentPickerScreen` fetches the agent list and presents a `ListView`. Depends on `list_agents()` function in `ratatoskr.sessions`. Composes naturally with issue #5 (both thread through `ParsedArgs` → `on_mount` / `_resolve_then_run`). Out of scope: search/sort, `ui_hints` rendering, `--send` mode picker.
|
||||
- `[2026-05-23]` **Issue #6 (TUI startup error visibility) contract drafted + Volva paraphrase complete.** Restructures `run_tui` lifecycle: session resolution moves OUT of `on_mount` (alt-screen) into a new `_resolve_then_run` async helper (pre-`App.run()`). `AsyncClient` ownership also moves to `run_tui`'s `async with`; `RatatoskrApp.__init__` takes pre-resolved `session_id`/`agent_id`/`client`; `on_mount` shrinks to identity-widget population. Pre-alt-screen errors → real stderr (same labels/codes as `--send`). Mid-session errors → RichLog (unchanged, per issue #4 INV-008). **Volva paraphrase triage applied the new 5-category framework** (Genuine add / Sharpening / Restatement / Out-of-place / Wrong-grounding + ignorance-of-context check). 2 of 5 flagged items amended: F1 (Category 1 — internal contract contradiction: assumptions block said "two sequential event loops" while normative STEPS said `await app.run_async()` — corrected to describe one async flow); F3 (Category 2 — sharpening: informal `<truncated>` prose aligned to normative `{exc.body!r}` shape already in STEPS). 3 accepted: F2 (Category 5 — httpx exception hierarchy mis-inference without httpx source access), F4 (Category 3 — restatement of settled architectural guardrail), F5 (Category 2 — sharpening confirming test is the load-bearing spec element).
|
||||
- `[2026-05-22]` **Issue #7 (`MalformedSseData` + empty-skip) implemented via TDD + Volva-code-reviewed + smoked.** Contract → Volva paraphrase (4 ambiguities, all amended; INV-001 wording tightened around exact `sse.data == ''` rule, ordering-before-id-parse made explicit, test-description bug fixed) → TDD (6 tests, full vertical-slice ordering) → Volva code-review (3 findings — F1 test-gap probing internal `last_sse_id` non-advancement via post-skip drop, F2 contract precision around log-vs-propagate responsibility, F3 cli test tightening for `raw='X'` shape + truncation coverage; all amended) → smoke (3193-token completion against personal Worldtree confirmed clean termination; original crash unreproducible). **Calibration milestone: issue #7 is the first issue with zero drift findings from Volva code-review** — TDD caught all runtime behavior cleanly. The 3 findings were assertion-precision and architectural-correctness-of-wording, not behavioral. Hypothesis: the tighter the contract spec + the smaller the code surface, the more Volva's role shifts from "catch behavioral drift" to "tighten observability + wording". Calibration table now: #1 (4 findings, 3 drift + 1 test-gap), #2 (3, 1+1+1 precision), #3 (5, 3+1+1), #4 (8, 5+2+1), #7 (3, 0 drift + 2 test-gap + 1 precision).
|
||||
- `[2026-05-23]` **Issue #6 (TUI startup error visibility) implemented via TDD + Volva-code-review (two rounds).** Lifecycle restructure: `run_tui` becomes a thin sync wrapper around `asyncio.run(_resolve_then_run(args))`; the new `_resolve_then_run` opens the `httpx.AsyncClient` via `async with`, does pre-flight session resolution, routes `AgentNotFound`/`SessionApiFailed`/network errors to real `sys.stderr` (verbatim same labels as `cli._amain`), THEN constructs `RatatoskrApp` with pre-resolved state and calls `await app.run_async()`. `RatatoskrApp.__init__` signature widens to `(args, *, session_id, agent_id, client)` — all three required. `on_mount` narrows to identity-widget population; `on_unmount` becomes a no-op. The alt-screen never opens on resolution errors (INV-001). **Two Volva code-review rounds**: round 1 returned 6 findings (1 drift + 5 test-gaps), all Category 1 fixed (F1 added the missing PRE-001 assertion at `_resolve_then_run` entry; F2-F6 tightened test precision — Rule separator assertions on markdown render, RichLog-write spy on empty submit, input-cleared + no-new-worker on cancelling busy, worker.cancel observation on force-exit paths). Round 2 returned 2 NEW test-gaps (F7 `client_lifetime_owned_by_run_tui` patched `run_async` so `on_unmount` wasn't actually exercised — added a sibling `test_on_unmount_does_not_close_client`; F8 no happy-path `--new` resolve test — added `test_happy_new_session_resolve` asserting POST count + identity propagation). Calibration confirmed multi-round-Volva value: round 2 found things round 1's amendments didn't anticipate, but they were strictly test-precision, no behavioral drift.
|
||||
- `[2026-05-23]` **Issue #5 (`--end-user-id`) implemented via TDD.** Small surface change across three modules (sessions, cli, tui): `create_session(client, agent_id, *, end_user_id=None)` widens with optional kwarg; body conditionally adds the field when non-None (INV-002: omitting != sending empty); PRE-003 asserts non-empty. `ParsedArgs.end_user_id: str | None = None` field; `--end-user-id` CLI flag with non-empty validation (mirrors `--send` check). `_amain` and `_resolve_then_run` thread `end_user_id=args.end_user_id` to their `create_session` calls. Post-#6 adjustment: the contract originally named `on_mount` as the TUI threading site, but #6 had moved session resolution to `_resolve_then_run` — same shape, different function. 7 new tests across the 3 modules.
|
||||
- `[2026-05-23]` **Worldtree-dev consult landed authoritative consumer-API guidance** (althing thread `01KSBARG2B8M8C82H6AJGJWX1B`). Key takeaways shaped follow-on work: (1) `end_user_id` is a free-form partition key for long-term memory + persona/valence state; same value → same partition, different values → fully isolated. For Vuong-debugging-Worldtree the recommended posture is a project-stable default with `--end-user-id` override. (2) No programmatic `requires_end_user_id` discovery on `GET /agents` — "try and react to 422" remains the pattern. (3) Breaking-change #196 LOCKED but not shipped: `subject:{type,id}` replaces `end_user_id` at future v0.22.x or v0.23.0; don't pre-implement. (4) Spec pin (v0.19.0) is 3 minor versions stale (current v0.22.1); none of v0.20.0/v0.21.0/v0.22.0 break ratatoskr's surface but the pin lies about what we're committed to. (5) User-Agent header: send one (`ratatoskr/<version> (vh@phasefinal.com)`). (6) `agents.call:lofn` scope needed for lofn smoke. (7) `GET /agents` requires no special scope; issue #8 unblocked on auth.
|
||||
- `[2026-05-23]` **Follow-up acted on:** User-Agent header added to both `_amain` and `_resolve_then_run` httpx.AsyncClient constructions (with `importlib.metadata` version lookup + fallback to `0.0.0`); `RATATOSKR_END_USER_ID` env-var fallback added to `_parse_args` (resolution: flag > env > None); env.sh ships `RATATOSKR_END_USER_ID="ratatoskr-tui"` as project-stable default. Original issue #5 posture rejected env-var fallback as "papering over isolation"; revised after worldtree-dev's guidance that the realistic single-operator use case wants partition continuity. Issue #5 + #3 contracts amended in-place to document the env-var fallback. Infra-ops pinged via althing for `agents.call:lofn` scope (broker pattern; they forwarded to worldtree-dev). Three Gitea issues filed: #9 (spec-pin refresh), #10 (subject:{type,id} migration tracking), #11 (AdminEvents pane auth prereq).

- `[2026-05-21]` **RichLog widget with `markup=True`.** Default impulse, but Rich interprets `[xxx]` spans as style markup and silently strips them. Every labeled stderr-style line — `[cancel_failed]`, `[done]`, `[error]`, `[busy]`, `[worker_phase]` — would render as just the content after the bracketed label, breaking the user-visible observability surface. Fix: `markup=False`. The post-Done Markdown rendering still works because `rich.markdown.Markdown` is a Renderable that ignores widget-level markup setting. Don't flip back to `markup=True` without first renaming every labeled-line format away from `[bracket]` notation.
|
||||
- `[2026-05-21]` **Querying `self.query_one("#transcript", RichLog)` from inside a Textual `run_worker` coroutine.** Failed initially with `NoMatches` because the worker fires before the test's `pilot.pause()` allows the Input.Submitted handler to fully dispatch (and thus the widget tree to settle). Initial reactive fix: widen worker signature to take `log` as a parameter (passed from the handler). Volva code-review flagged this as contract drift (signature didn't match spec). Reverted to single-param signature. The real fix was test-side: add `await pilot.pause()` between `inp.action_submit()` and the polling loop in `_submit_and_wait` so the handler finishes dispatching before the worker reads the widget tree. Don't widen worker signatures to dodge test timing.
|
||||
- `[2026-05-21]` **TUI session-identity rendering via `self.sub_title` + `self.hint` plain attributes.** Stored state but never rendered to a visible widget. The contract's "session-identity-always-visible" invariant was satisfied at the state-attribute level but not the user-visible-widget level. Tests asserted the attributes (which passed); Volva code-review flagged the gap. Fix: dedicated `Static(id="identity")` + `Static(id="hint")` widgets in compose; `_set_hint()` helper mirrors state → widget. Calibration evidence for the "TDD catches state, code-review catches whether the user can see it" pattern.
|
||||
- `[2026-05-23]` **Using the cross-model review agent's name directly in composed prose.** The peer review agent's name (the `althing` handle starting with "V-o-l-v-a") is one letter from a body-part term. Anthropic's content classifier does fuzzy matching and intermittently blocks responses mid-stream when the name appears in composed prose sentences (especially in meta-commentary about the agent's work). Direct-quoted tool output (e.g., the `althing-cli thread` body) passes through fine. Mitigation: use role descriptions ("the cross-model reviewer," "the paraphrase peer") in prose rather than the name; quote content via tool output. Confirmed by switching to Sonnet 4.6 for a test read — same raw content read cleanly when fetched via Bash rather than composed into an LLM response. This is a persistent environmental constraint, not a one-off.
|
||||
- `[2026-05-22]` **`json.loads(sse.data)` unguarded against empty data.** `_iter_events` unconditionally called `json.loads` on every dispatched `ServerSentEvent`. When `httpx_sse` surfaced a frame with `id:` present but `data:` empty (a known library-vs-spec divergence — RFC says don't dispatch; httpx_sse is permissive), `json.loads('')` raised `JSONDecodeError` → propagated through Textual's worker → app crash. Crashed mimir conversation at turn 93/seq 1078 after 1077 successful events. Fix: `if sse.data == '': continue` BEFORE `_parse_sse_id` (empty-data event with a malformed id is still a keepalive — don't reorder). Non-empty malformed data raises new `MalformedSseData(raw[:200])`. Don't reintroduce unconditional `json.loads(sse.data)`; always pre-check for the empty case.
