vh 9918c10acf fix(tui): coalesce thinking deltas on \n (v0.7.1)
Operator: "thinking tokens seem to be split by token — each on a
newline, is that correct? We don't want that."

Root cause: v0.6.5 wrote each Thinking SSE delta as its own
`thinking_log.write(event.content)` call. Worldtree emits Thinking
events at token granularity (per-token or per-few-tokens), so EACH
token became its own RichLog line — visually choppy, one short
fragment per visual row. Wrong UX.

## Fix: coalesce-on-newline

Thinking deltas accumulate in `TuiPresenterState.thinking_chunk_buffer`
(new str field). On each Thinking event:

  1. Append delta content to buffer.
  2. Flush every COMPLETE line (chars before each `\n`) as one
     thinking_log.write(line) call.
  3. Leave the post-final-`\n` tail in the buffer for the next delta.

On any non-thinking event (run close):
  1. Flush remaining buffer tail (if any) as one final line.
  2. Write Rule(end).

Empty lines (blank paragraph separators in the model's `\n\n` flow)
are skipped — they'd render as no-content RichLog entries which
just add vertical noise. Natural paragraph breaks become single
visible lines; multi-paragraph thinking renders top-to-bottom.

## Verified live (tier-3 smoke against personal Worldtree)

Defined a `thinky-smoke` agent via `python -m ratatoskr.tier3 define`,
asked "What is 12 times 13?". Thinking pane rendered with natural
paragraph chunks:

  ── turn N · thinking #1 start ──
  Thinking Process:
  1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know the result of $12 \times 13$.
  2.  **Calculate:**
      *   Method 1: Standard multiplication.
          $$12 \times 10 = 120$$
          $$12 \times 3 = 36$$
          $$120 + 36 = 156$$
      *   Method 2: $(10 + 2)(10 + 3) = 100 + 30 + 20 + 6 = 156$.
  ── turn N · thinking #1 end ──

Each line = one natural paragraph or list item. No per-token fragments.

## Edge cases noted

- Long-running thinking with NO `\n` at all stays buffered until run
  close → operator sees nothing until close. Possible follow-up: add
  a length-threshold flush (e.g., > 500 chars → flush at the last
  space). For now this is acceptable; thinking content typically has
  `\n` breaks every few sentences.
- Empty deltas (`""`) are ignored implicitly — no buffer growth, no
  flush.
- `\n` at the very start of a delta flushes whatever was buffered
  before, then leaves the empty post-`\n` tail (empty string) in the
  buffer, which doesn't show up as an empty line because of the
  `if line:` guard.

## Contract amendment

docs/contracts/issues/13.contract.md INV-022 amended for v0.7.1
coalesce semantics. Drift-check clean.

## Tests

265/265 GREEN; ruff clean. Two updated tests:

- `test_thinking_streams_into_thinking_log` → renamed
  `test_thinking_coalesces_until_newline`: 3 token-shaped deltas
  with no `\n` → only Rule(start) writes, buffer holds accumulated.
- NEW `test_thinking_flushes_on_newline`: delta carrying `\n` →
  Rule(start) + accumulated line + clear buffer.
- `test_thinking_closes_to_thinking_log`: 2 deltas "a", "b" +
  close → Rule(start) + tail-flush "ab" + Rule(end) = 3 writes
  (was 4 with per-delta).

Patch bump (v0.7.0 → v0.7.1) — internal presenter routing change;
no public-API or layout change.

vh d3569904bc refactor(tui): thinking streams into whole pane (v0.6.5)
Operator: "Why does the thinking scroll a little section at the
bottom of the thinking pane instead of scrolling the whole pane?"

Root cause: v0.6.1's thinking-current Static was docked to the
bottom of the Thinking pane and rendered the last 200 chars of
streaming content. As deltas arrived, the displayed 200-char tail
shifted — old text fell off the left, new text appeared on the
right — visually reading as "a little section scrolling at the
bottom" while the larger thinking-log RichLog above showed only
the previous run's closed content (or nothing on first turn).

## Fix: stream directly into thinking-log

The Static is gone. Thinking deltas now write straight to the
`thinking-log` RichLog (one delta = one line in the scrollable
log). The whole pane scrolls naturally as content arrives —
operator can switch to Ctrl+3 and see streaming content fill
the pane top-to-bottom.

Routing pattern:

  First Thinking delta of run:
    → write Rule(title="turn N · thinking #K start") to thinking_log
    → write delta content as a line
    → set thinking_open = True
  Subsequent Thinking deltas:
    → write delta content as a line
  Non-thinking event (closes the run):
    → write Rule(title="turn N · thinking #K end") to thinking_log
    → reset thinking_open

The Rule(start) at the top of an in-progress run is now the
"thinking is happening" indicator. No more separate live-preview
widget required.

## Trade-off: no markdown re-render

Pre-v0.6.5 closed runs got a Markdown(full_content) render between
the start/end Rules. v0.6.5 drops that — the streamed deltas ARE
the content; re-rendering as Markdown would either need to wait
for run-end (no streaming) OR re-render incrementally per delta
(bad UX). Streaming wins for "live observability" framing.

The downside: if model thinking has Markdown structure (lists,
code), it renders as raw text. Acceptable per operator's "stream
in line" framing.

## Removed widgets

- `Static#thinking-current` (right column / Thinking pane bottom)
- `TuiPresenterState.render` no longer takes a `thinking_widget` param
- `TuiPresenterState.thinking_buffer` field dropped (no accumulation)
- `_stream_turn_worker` no longer queries `#thinking-current`
- `on_mount` no longer hides `#thinking-current`
- DEFAULT_CSS `#thinking-current` block removed

## Contract amendment

INV-022 amended: thinking now streams as raw delta lines, not
Markdown-rendered on close. INV-024 amended: thinking-current
Static removed entirely (was relocated v0.6.1, removed v0.6.5).
Drift-check clean.

## Tests

238/238 GREEN (was 241 — 3 obsolete widget tests deleted:
test_thinking_widget_truncation, test_thinking_widget_visibility_lifecycle,
test_terminal_events_belt_and_braces_widget_cleanup). 5 routing tests
rewritten for the new streaming shape (test_thinking_streams_into_thinking_log,
test_thinking_closes_to_thinking_log, test_multiple_thinking_runs_...,
test_render_exception_fallback, test_cancelled_mid_thinking_closes,
test_left_column_content_only).

ruff clean. Manual injection test confirms routing: Rule(start) +
delta lines write to thinking_log; transcript untouched.

Patch bump (v0.6.4 → v0.6.5) — internal restructure within Thinking
pane; presenter signature narrowed; no caller-visible public API
change (RatatoskrApp + AgentPickerApp surfaces identical).

vh 8463eb22ff docs(contract): amend issue #13 INV-024 for v0.6.1 thinking-current relocation 2026-05-24 15:47:02 -07:00
vh cfee89ac1c refactor(tui): streaming + turn headers + Thinking pane + picker fix (v0.6.0)
Operator-driven big-batch polish + restructure:

## 1. Streaming text — no more per-token RichLog spam

Pre-v0.6.0, every Text SSE delta wrote its own RichLog line, so
"Let me read the..." became 4+ separate lines (a Worldtree-style
sentence-by-sentence reveal that read as broken). v0.6.0 adds a
`#current-text` Static docked above the prompt; TuiPresenterState
buffers Text deltas in `text_buffer` and updates the Static in
place. On terminal event the Static clears and the transcript
gets:
  - raw=False: post-Done Markdown body + Rule separator
  - raw=True:  accumulated plain text

The Static collapses to height=0 when empty so the prompt sits at
the column bottom unchanged.

## 2. Turn-ID headers across every pane

`_stream_turn_worker` writes a `Rule(title="turn N")` to all four
log panes (transcript, tools, debug, thinking) on the first event
of each new turn. Operators can now visually correlate "what
happened in Tools during turn 42" by section markers in matching
positions across panes.

## 3. New Thinking TabPane (Ctrl+3)

Closed thinking runs now route to `#thinking-log` (a dedicated
TabPane) instead of `#debug-log`. Each closed run writes three
entries:
  - Rule(title="turn N · thinking #K start")
  - Markdown(thinking_content)
  - Rule(title="turn N · thinking #K end")

Model reasoning often has lists/code/structure — rendering as
Markdown (instead of the previous "· thinking: ..." prefix line)
makes it scannable. The `thinking_run_index` counter scopes per
turn so multi-thinking-run turns get distinct markers.

`thinking-current` Static (live per-delta preview) stays in the
right column above TabbedContent (unchanged from v0.5.0) — live
visibility persists across tab switches.

## 4. Agent picker — multi-line items, full description visible

Pre-v0.6.0 the picker rendered each agent as a single Label with
"{id} · {name} — {description}", which truncated descriptions
visually. v0.6.0 uses two Static children per ListItem:
  - bold Aurora bright-blue line: "{agent_id} · {name}"
  - wrapped Sea dark-60 line(s): full description

ListItems are auto-height so long descriptions wrap as needed.
Highlighted (--highlight) row uses Sea dark-30 background instead
of Aurora blue (which the operator flagged as ugly).

## 5. Kill residual blue chrome

The user's "background is still blue" report traced to the prompt
Input's focused border, which I'd set to $primary (Aurora blue).
Switched to $au-bright-cyan (#42dcd1) — focus highlight is now
cyan, consistent with the operator's-voice accent throughout the
TUI. Also added explicit overrides for ContentTabs strip
background + active-tab underline color → Australis cyan.

## 6. Surfaced emotion-appraisal request to worldtree-dev

User asked for emotion-appraisal telemetry, but no SSE event for
this exists in the spec — persona/Vili affect lives in persona.log
(file-tail, blocked on remote-Worldtree topology) and per-character
state (poll endpoint, not per-turn). Posted an althing thread
proposing two shapes (worker_phase payload extension OR new
affect_update event type) and routing the decision to their team.
A 4th `Emotion` TabPane plugs in trivially when a wire event lands.
Low-priority / quality-of-life framing — not blocking ship.

## Contract amendment

docs/contracts/issues/13.contract.md amended in-place: INV-019
extended to 3 TabPanes; new INV-021 (Text → current_text Static),
INV-022 (thinking closed runs → thinking_log with Markdown +
start/end Rules), INV-023 (turn-ID headers across all panes),
INV-024 (thinking-current Static stays in right column with
"thinking… " prefix per v0.5.1 polish). INV-020 (render-exception
fallback routing) updated for Thinking → thinking_log. Drift-check
clean.

## Tests

241 GREEN (down from 244 in test count — 5 routing tests rewritten
for the new shape, replacing the v0.5.0 thinking-in-debug-log
assertions with the v0.6.0 thinking-log-as-Markdown shape; net
test coverage equivalent). ruff clean.

Live smoke against personal Worldtree's mimir confirmed:
  - transcript: 27 lines (turn header + user echo + done +
    markdown body, NO per-token spam)
  - thinking_log: 19 lines (turn header + 2x thinking start/end
    Rule sections with Markdown bodies)
  - current_text cleared post-Done

Minor bump (v0.5.1 → v0.6.0) per SemVer etiquette: visible routing
+ new pane = operator-observable surface change.
2026-05-24 15:29:55 -07:00
vh ffd22fb587 refactor(tui): content-only main pane + Debug tab + dark chrome (v0.5.0)
Two operator-driven changes off v0.4.1:

1. **Main pane is content-only.** Pre-v0.5.0 the transcript mixed
   assistant text with telemetry (Thinking closed runs, WorkerPhase,
   TextBoundary) — only tool events were factored out per #13. The
   transcript now receives ONLY: user-prompt echo, assistant Text
   deltas, [done]/[error]/[cancelled] terminal labels, and the
   post-Done Markdown render. All telemetry routes to a new Debug
   tab in the right column.

2. **Chrome no longer blue.** Textual's default Header / Footer /
   active-tab styling tints with `$primary` (Aurora blue under
   Australis), which read as garish on dark terminals. Header,
   Footer, and the TabbedContent tab strip get explicit
   `background: $surface` (Sea bright-black #373b46) so the chrome
   sits cool and unobtrusive against the Ice black background.

## Layout reshape

```
LEFT COLUMN (content only):           RIGHT COLUMN (telemetry):
  transcript (RichLog, 1fr)             thinking-current (Static, dock top)
  prompt (Input, dock bottom)           TabbedContent:
                                          Tools  (tool_start, tool_result)
                                          Debug  (thinking, worker_phase,
                                                  text_boundary)
```

The thinking-current live-preview Static moves from left → right
column so the left column is genuinely content-only. Live thinking
visibility now persists across tab switches (it docks above the
TabbedContent, not inside any tab).

## Presenter routing (TuiPresenterState.render)

Signature widens with `debug_log: RichLog`. Routing matrix:

  Text                       → log (transcript)
  Done / Error / Cancelled   → log (transcript) [terminal labels]
  ToolStart / ToolResult     → tools_log (Tools tab)
  Thinking (closed run)      → debug_log (Debug tab)
  WorkerPhase                → debug_log (Debug tab)
  TextBoundary               → debug_log (Debug tab)
  Thinking (per-delta)       → thinking_widget (live preview)

INV-009 render-exception fallback preserves routing per event class
(new INV-020) — ToolStart/Result falls back to tools_log;
Thinking/WorkerPhase/TextBoundary to debug_log; everything else to log.

## Keybindings

- Ctrl+1 → Tools tab (existing, unchanged)
- Ctrl+2 → Debug tab (NEW)

`pane-name` footer widget updates dynamically as the operator
switches tabs ("Tools" ↔ "Debug"). This was previously deferred to
"the multi-tab issue" per the Volva contract-review amendment;
multi-tab now exists, so the dynamic update lands here.

## Contract amendments

docs/contracts/issues/13.contract.md amended in-place:
- INV-015 amended: transcript is content-only; telemetry routes to
  debug_log. Old routing (telemetry in transcript) retired under the
  no-backwards-compat rule.
- INV-017 amended: thinking-current docks to right column (was left).
- INV-019 new: two TabPanes (Tools + Debug), Ctrl+1/Ctrl+2 bindings,
  dynamic pane-name update.
- INV-020 new: render-exception fallback preserves per-event-class
  routing.
- Layout-spec snapshot ASCII diagram updated.

Drift-check clean.

## Tests

239/239 GREEN (+3 new: debug_tab_exists, ctrl_2_activates_debug_tab,
pane_name_updates_on_tab_switch). 6 existing tests adjusted for the
new routing (test_thinking_closes_one_debuglog_entry,
test_multiple_thinking_runs_each_get_debuglog_entry,
test_render_exception_fallback,
test_cancelled_mid_thinking_closes,
test_worker_phase_demoted_to_debug_log,
test_left_column_content_only). ruff clean.

Live smoke against personal Worldtree: mimir KB-search turn
populated tools_log with 11 lines of tool events (search_library +
read_note); debug_log with 20 lines of worker_phase + thinking
content; transcript stayed content-only with `❯ user-prompt`
(Aurora bright-cyan) + assistant text deltas. Routing matrix
holds end-to-end. (Diagnostic note: RichLog.lines is the rendered-
output buffer; inactive TabPane content shows lines=0 until the
tab activates and renders. Internal write store is correct — this
is a Textual rendering quirk, not a routing bug.)

Minor bump (v0.4.1 → v0.5.0) per SemVer etiquette: visible routing
surface change for operators; transcript and Debug tab contents
look different from yesterday's v0.4.1.

vh 24e4371ec7 feat(tui): issue #13 — §5 layout reshape + Tools pane (v0.4.0)
Reshape the TUI from vertical-stack single-pane to Horizontal
two-column with TabbedContent on the right; v1 has a single Tools
tab that consumes ToolStart/ToolResult SSE events previously
rendered inline in the transcript. Foundation for the rest of
design-brief §5; subsequent panes (Persona/AdminEvents/BifrostState/
ServerLog) plug in as sibling TabPanes when their substrate
blockers resolve.

Three coupled pieces, all in-place amendments to issues #4 + #12:

- **Layout**: compose() yields Horizontal#main-row containing
  Vertical#left-column (transcript + thinking-current + prompt) and
  Vertical#right-column (TabbedContent#side-panes with
  TabPane#tools-tab → RichLog#tools-log). Width split 2fr:1fr. CSS
  dock rules narrow to per-container scope so thinking-current
  toggling doesn't reflow the right column.
- **Tools pane**: TuiPresenterState.render() signature widens with
  tools_log: RichLog. ToolStart/ToolResult route there per INV-014;
  every other event keeps its issue-#12 routing. Plain-label
  fallback under render-exception preserves routing (INV-009).
- **Ctrl+1 binding + pane-name widget**: BINDINGS gains
  Binding("ctrl+1", "focus_tools") which programmatically sets
  TabbedContent.active; Textual's default preserves Input focus per
  INV-016 (test asserts; regression path documented).
  Static#pane-name in the footer renders "Tools" v1 (static — no
  tab-switch handler wiring lands in #13 per amendment-2 from
  Volva paraphrase review).

CLI mode (--send) is unaffected by design per INV-018 — non-
interactive, no tabs concept; CLI keeps inline tool-event rendering.

Contract: docs/contracts/issues/13.contract.md (drift-check clean,
two amendments applied from Volva contract-paraphrase pass).

Tests: +9 net (TestLayoutShape × 7 + TestTuiPresenterState routing
× 3, minus 1 deprecated test_tool_start_demoted superseded by
test_tool_start_routes_to_tools_log). 236 total GREEN; ruff clean.

Live smoke against personal Worldtree's mimir: tool-using turn
(KB search) populated tools_log with tool_start + tool_result for
search_library + read_note; transcript stayed chat-only with
worker_phase + thinking. Routing-not-duplication confirmed
end-to-end.
