feat(#6 ): startup session picker for bare TUI mode

v1 coverage-audit slice b2. The audit found list_sessions had no caller — the startup session picker (design-brief §4) was never built; bare TUI mode was a hard usage error. Add SessionPickerApp (mirrors AgentPickerApp) and resolve bare mode in _resolve_then_run. - Bare TUI mode (no --session/--new) now valid → session picker. Resolution: 0 sessions -> [no_sessions] exit 14 (resume-only per §4 "no in-app creation, --new only"); exactly 1 -> auto-resume (§4 "picker only when >1"); >=2 -> SessionPickerApp -> resume pick (Esc/Ctrl-D -> exit 0). - cli._parse: bare TUI valid; --send still requires one flag; --agent forbidden in bare mode. run_tui PRE-002 xor -> mutually-exclusive. - Contract #6 amended (SessionPickerApp + bare-mode resolution) + validated. TDD: 3 picker pilot tests + 5 resolution tests + 3 cli validation tests. Suite 528 green; touched code ruff-clean. Design note: bare + 0 sessions errors (honors §4's no-in-app-creation clause); the friendlier auto-fall-through-to-new is deferred pending operator preference.

+## Amendment 2026-06-30 — shared resume orchestration (v1 coverage-audit, slice b1)
+
+The original contract specs resume as **caller-owned** (§Resume semantics: "the
+caller MAY invoke `reconnect_turn`"). The v1 coverage-audit found `reconnect_turn`
+had **no caller** — every presenter (cli/tui/web) let a mid-stream drop propagate
+instead of resuming, so the "reference SSE-resume implementation" (design-brief
+§3/§8d) was unreachable. Per design-brief §8b ("share the consumer, branch the
+presenter") the resume loop is a **single shared orchestration surface**, not
+duplicated per presenter. This adds `stream_turn_resilient` as that surface;
+presenters call it instead of `stream_turn` when they want transparent reconnect.
+`stream_turn` and `reconnect_turn` are unchanged (still the primitives); this is
+purely additive.

+BRIEF: The shared resume-orchestration wrapper over stream_turn + reconnect_turn. Yields a SINGLE continuous typed Event stream; on SseConnectionDropped (mid-stream drop OR clean EOF before terminal), transparently resumes via reconnect_turn from the last-seen sse_id, up to max_reconnects times, until a terminal Done/Error/Cancelled arrives. The one surface all presenters consume for resilient streaming (design-brief §8b). Cross-process resume stays deferred to v2 (§8d): last-seen lives only in this generator's frame.

+## Amendment 2026-06-30 — startup session picker (v1 coverage-audit, slice b2)
+
+The v1 coverage-audit found `list_sessions` had **no caller** — the startup
+session picker (design-brief §4: "single-session-per-launch, with a startup
+picker invoked when more than one session exists ... plus flags `--session`/
+`--new` to skip it") was never built. Bare TUI mode (neither `--session` nor
+`--new`) was a hard usage error. This adds the picker as a pre-alt-screen
+resolution step in `_resolve_then_run`, mirroring the existing `AgentPickerApp`.
+
+**Locked design (design-brief §4):** the picker is **resume-only** (§4 negative
+clause "no in-app session creation — `--new` flag only"); shown only when **>1**
+session exists (exactly 1 auto-resumes; the launch intent is "resume the last
+session I was poking at"). `--agent` stays a `--new` companion (forbidden in bare
+mode). **bare + 0 sessions → error** `[no_sessions]` directing the operator to
+`--new` (honors the "no in-app creation" clause; the friendlier
+auto-fall-through-to-new alternative is deferred pending operator confirmation).
+
+### `_parse` validation relaxation (ratatoskr.cli._parse)
+
+- Bare TUI mode (`send is None` AND no `--session` AND no `--new`) is now VALID
+  → triggers the picker. (Previously `raise UsageError("pass exactly one of
+  --session or --new")` unconditionally.)
+- `--send` mode still requires exactly one of `--session`/`--new` (non-
+  interactive: no picker can open) → `UsageError("--send requires --session or
+  --new")`.
+- `--session` + `--new` stays mutually exclusive.
+- `--agent` in bare mode → `UsageError` (`--agent` belongs to `--new`).

+# Ratatoskr v1 coverage map
+
+_The v1 convergence-target ledger. Ratatoskr has **no self-defined feature
+roadmap**: v1 = consume all of Worldtree's I/O points, reached when Worldtree
+hits 1.0 (operator, 2026-06-19; auto-memory
+`project-ratatoskr-v1-derived-from-worldtree-io-coverage`). This file is that
+coverage map — every Worldtree v1-frozen I/O point × ratatoskr's coverage
+status, so "are we at v1?" is a ledger lookup, not a judgement call._
+
+**First authored:** 2026-06-30 (the v1 coverage-audit kickoff).
+
+---
+
+## Frozen target
+
+Worldtree is at **v1.0.0b2** — approaching 1.0, with its wire surfaces now
+**FROZEN** (Worldtree `docs/v1-schema-freeze-manifest.md`, #326). The audit
+anchors against the frozen machine-readable artifacts, NOT the prose markdown:
+
+| Worldtree v1 surface | Frozen anchor | Ratatoskr role |
+|---|---|---|
+| Conversation REST API | OpenAPI `info.version` **2.2.0** (`Worldtree/docs/conversation-api-openapi.json`, sha `dbdf4e24…`) — **40 path×method groups** | **client** (debug TUI / web) |
+| Conversation SSE events | `conversation-api-sse-events.schema.json` (sha `9deeebf4…`) — **11 discriminated event types** | **client** |
+| Bifrost wire (consumer protocol) | wire **v0.6** STABLE/FROZEN (`bifrost==1.0.0`) — memory + affect planes | **provider** (Worldtree dispatches into us) |
+
+> **Pin drift (finding P-1) — REMEDIATED 2026-06-30.** Ratatoskr formerly
+> vendored only the **prose markdown** (`docs/conversation-api-spec.md`), which
+> is byte-identical to live Worldtree's but frozen at v0.35.16-era content (last
+> WT edit 2026-05-31) and does **not** document the b2 surface (7 endpoints
+> below, the 409/503 on messages-POST #331, the unified error envelope #328, the
+> SSE schema). Remediated: the **OpenAPI 2.2.0 + SSE-schema JSON are now vendored
+> and pinned** (`.corviduo-canonicals.toml` → `canonical_drift.py` gate); the
+> prose markdown is the `tolerate_drift` reference. Spec pin advanced to
+> 5810a26 (v1.0.0b2). See § Pin remediation.
+
+**7 endpoints new in b2 OpenAPI, absent from our vendored markdown:**
+`/admin/keys/bulk`, `/admin/persona/archive`, `/admin/persona/erase`,
+`/admin/usage`, `/embed`, `/judgments`, `/me/usage`.
+
+---
+
+## Scorecard
+
+**Scope mandate: A (ledger-mandate), locked by operator 2026-06-30.** v1 "done"
+= every frozen I/O point is **classified** (covered or excluded-with-rationale),
+zero unaccounted. NOT "feature-complete client." All scope-pending rows are now
+resolved (§ Surface 1, scope-resolution table).
+
+| Surface | Points | ✅ covered-live | ⬜ gap (in-scope) | 🚫 excluded-by-design |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| REST (OpenAPI 2.2.0, path groups) | 40 | 7 | 11 | 22 |
+| SSE events | 11 | 11 | 0 | 0 |
+| Bifrost provider planes | 8 verbs | 8 | 0 | (10 gated verbs deferred) |
+
+**Legend.** ✅ consumed in code AND live-proven against real Worldtree · ⬜ a
+debug-observability I/O point we should cover but don't yet (the convergence
+frontier) · 🚫 deliberate non-goal per the design-brief negative clauses + the A
+mandate. Counts are at the **path-group** level; mixed-method groups are
+footnoted (e.g. `/sessions` POST is ✅ but its `GET` picker is an unwired
+sub-gap).
+

+
+## Surface 1 — Conversation REST API (OpenAPI 2.2.0)
+
+### Covered — client path (ratatoskr's core identity)
+
+| Endpoint | Status | Where consumed | Note |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `POST /sessions` | ✅ | `sessions.py:307` → `cli.py:482`,`tui.py:1508`,`web/server.py:155` | + `end_user_id`, `bifrost` binding; 404→AgentNotFound, 502→BifrostHandshakeFailed |
+| `POST /sessions/{id}/messages` (turn stream, SSE) | ✅ | `sse_client.py:484` `stream_turn` → cli/tui/web | the primary surface; 409→AgentNotAvailable, 503→TurnLaunchUnavailable (b2 #331) |
+| `POST /sessions/{id}/turns/{turn_id}/cancel` | ✅ | `sse_client.py:581` → cli/tui/web | two-stage Ctrl-C; 404/409 mapped |
+| `GET /agents` | ✅ | `sessions.py:341` → `tui.py:1472`,`web/server.py:100` | Tier-1 roster; merged with local index |
+| `GET /agents/{id}/persona_state` | ✅ | `sessions.py:384` → `tui.py:1132`,`web/server.py:386` | persona hydrate; 404/403 mapped |
+| `POST /agents/define` | ✅ | `tier3.py:175` → `_run_define` | Tier-3 create |
+| `PATCH /agents/{id}` | ✅ | `tier3.py:219` → `_run_patch` | Tier-3 mutate (system_prompt/model) |
+| `DELETE /agents/{id}` | ✅ | `tier3.py:242` → `_run_delete` | Tier-3 hard-delete |
+
+**Sub-gaps inside ✅ path groups** (the method we use is live; a sibling method
+on the same path is an unwired frontier item — see frontier Tier 1):
+- `GET /sessions` — `sessions.py:198` `list_sessions` exists, **no caller**: the
+  startup session-picker (design-brief §4 v1) was never wired.
+- `POST /sessions/{id}/messages` + `Last-Event-ID` — `sse_client.py:524`
+  `reconnect_turn` exists, **no caller**: the reference SSE-resume impl
+  (design-brief §8d) was never wired.
+- `GET /agents/{id}` — consumer-agent lookup (`GET /agents/<owner>:<name>` with
+  the owner key) is **manual-curl-only**, not in code.
+
+### In-scope gaps — the convergence frontier (debug-observability path)
+
+**Tier 1 — the debug-observability core (design-brief'd for v1, unbuilt):**
+
+| Endpoint | Status | Why in-scope |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GET /admin/events` | ⬜ | design-brief §5 v1 **AdminEvents pane**; = issue **#11**, **blocked** on `admin.events.read` scope (infra-ops) |
+| `GET /admin/sessions/{id}/bifrost` | ⬜ | design-brief §5 v1 **BifrostState widget** — never built; admin-key-gated |
+| `GET /admin/sessions/{id}/tools` | ⬜ | design-brief §5 v1 **Tools widget** — never built; admin-key-gated |
+| `GET /capabilities` | ⬜ | server capability discovery — a turn flows through what's advertised |
+| `GET /me` | ⬜ | whoami / key-identity — "which key am I against" is a debug primitive |
+| (`GET /sessions` picker · resume) | ⬜ | sub-gaps above — presenter-wiring only, wrappers exist |
+
+**Tier 2 — rounds out I/O coverage under A (postdates the design-brief):**
+
+| Endpoint | Status | Why in-scope |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GET /sessions/{id}/tools` | ⬜ | Tier-3 owner-scoped tool introspection (#183) — reachable with the **consumer key** (no admin scope), the unblocked tool-introspection path |
+| `POST /sessions/{id}/persona_state` (write) | ⬜ | affect-injection is debug-relevant; pairs with our provider affect plane |
+| `POST /characters` · `DELETE /characters/{id}` · `GET /characters/{id}/state` · `GET /models/available-for-characters` | ⬜ | transient-characters (Echo) is a session-creation **routing path** a debug client should be able to drive a turn through |
+
+### Excluded by design — the design-brief negative clauses
+
+| Endpoint(s) | Status | Rationale (design-brief / memory) |
+|---|---|---|
+| `PATCH /sessions/{id}` · `DELETE /sessions/{id}` | 🚫 | §4: rename/delete happen outside the tool (`sessions_cli.py`) |
+| `GET /sessions/{id}/messages` (history) | 🚫 | §6: single-session live transcript, no history fetch |
+| `GET /sessions/{id}` | 🚫 | session detail — identity is footer-visible, no detail view |
+| `GET /sessions/{id}/tool-events` | 🚫 | §5: tool calls observed **inline from SSE** `tool_start`/`tool_result`; persisted-events endpoint is opt-in only |
+| `GET/POST /admin/keys` · `DELETE/POST /admin/keys/{id}` · `POST /admin/keys/{id}/rotate` · `DELETE/POST /admin/keys/bulk` · `POST /admin/keys/bulk/rotate` | 🚫 | §6: **NOT a Worldtree-admin tool** (key mgmt) |
+| `POST /admin/sessions/{id}/retire` | 🚫 | admin session mutation |
+| `POST /admin/persona/{archive,erase}` | 🚫 | admin persona GDPR ops (new in b2) |
+| `POST /admin/users/{id}/tier` | 🚫 | admin user mgmt |
+| `GET /me/usage` · `GET /admin/usage` | 🚫 | usage metering — not turn-flow observability (new in b2) |
+| `GET /healthz` · `GET /readyz` | 🚫 | liveness probes — low debug value (could become a connect preflight; park) |
+| `GET /search` | 🚫 | §5: consumer-product feature, not turn-flow (was "defer to v2") |
+| `GET/POST /uploads` · `DELETE/GET /uploads/{id}` | 🚫 | §6: no uploads — consumer-product feature |
+| `GET /pending` · `GET /sessions/{id}/pending` | 🚫 | §5: poll-only, no turn-flow signal (was "optional, skip") |
+| `POST /embed` | 🚫 | embedding utility — no turn flows through it |
+| `POST /judgments` | 🚫 | LLM-as-judge A/B eval (`response_a`/`response_b`/`rubric`) — standalone eval utility, not turn-flow |
+
+### Scope-resolution record (the 11 ❓ rows, resolved under A)
+
+The 2026-05-20 design-brief deferred several surfaces; the 2026-06-19 reframe
+("v1 = full I/O coverage") put them back in tension. **Resolved 2026-06-30 under
+mandate A** (debug-observability identity intact; classify, don't build-all):
+
+| Endpoint(s) | Resolution |
+|---|---|
+| `GET /search` · `uploads` (×2) · `pending` (×2) · `POST /embed` · `POST /judgments` | 🚫 **excluded** — consumer-product / eval / poll utilities, not turn-flow observability |
+| `characters` (×4) · `POST /sessions/{id}/persona_state` | ⬜ **in-scope** (frontier Tier 2) — session-routing + affect-injection debug paths |
+
+Nothing remains ❓. The ⬜-vs-🚫 line follows the debug-observability test: *does
+a turn flow through it / is it a layer worth watching live?*
+
+---
+
+## Surface 2 — SSE events (11/11 ✅)
+
+Every frozen SSE event type is parsed in `sse_client.py:_envelope_for_type`
+(342-411) and rendered by all three presenters (cli/tui/web). **Full coverage.**
+
+`text` · `worker_phase` · `thinking` · `text_boundary` · `tool_start` ·
+`tool_result` · `done` · `error` · `cancelled` · `awaiting_llm_first_token` ·
+`affect_update`
+
+> Caveat (not a gap): `affect_update` is wire-verified to emit **zero** events
+> for consumer (Tier-3) agents — the persona-strip SSE path never populates for
+> them (memory 2026-06-18). The handler is correct; the upstream emitter is
+> silent. PAD for consumer agents is surfaced via our own provider read route
+> (`GET /affect/state/{id}`, #18 D2), not this event.
+
+---
+
+## Surface 3 — Bifrost provider planes (8/8 ✅, live-proven)
+
+Ratatoskr **implements** the provider side; Worldtree dispatches into it.
+Live-proven end-to-end through real WT turns (#17/#18 smokes; combined `:8392`
+WT-driven smoke 2026-06-20).
+
+**Memory plane** — covers the entire `bifrost.memory.MemoryDataStore` protocol
+(required: `describe_store`, `get`, `get_many`, `search`, `upsert_many`) **plus**
+`delete_many`:
+
+| Verb | Where | |
+|---|---|---|
+| `describe_store` | `memory_store.py:140` | advertises caps (sync) |
+| `search` | `memory_store.py:224` | vector recall; scope_all AND / scope_any OR |
+| `get` / `get_many` | `memory_store.py:293` / `:305` | point reads |
+| `upsert_many` | `memory_store.py:150` | idempotent batch write; optimistic lock |
+| `delete_many` | `memory_store.py:314` | transactional delete |
+
+**Affect plane** — covers `bifrost…InMemoryAffectStore` (`emit`, `fetch`):
+
+| Verb | Where | |
+|---|---|---|
+| `emit` | `affect_store.py:47` | conduit-opaque snapshot upsert (LWW) |
+| `fetch` | `affect_store.py:116` | `{found, snapshot}`; mandatory since bifrost 0.10.0 strong-or-absent gate |
+
+Plus the non-wire PAD read route `GET /affect/state/{agent_id}`
+(`affect_store.py:189`) and the combined `:8392` endpoint advertising both caps
+by store-presence (`combined.py:46`).
+
+**Deferred-gated (advertised-unsupported, correctly out-of-scope for the basic
+plane):** `scan`, `get_edges_for`, `upsert_edges`, `mark_invalid`,
+`mark_superseded`, `patch_many`, `commit_checkpoint`, `lease_job`,
+`read_checkpoint`, `health`. These live only in the bifrost reference
+*extended* store, not the `MemoryDataStore` protocol; deferred per the #294
+re-scope (memory 2026-06-15). Re-evaluate only if Worldtree's Tier-3 path
+starts exercising them.
+
+---
+
+## Convergence frontier (the v1 to-do)
+
+**Tier 1 — debug-observability core**, in dependency order:
+
+1. **Session picker + SSE-resume** — wrappers exist (`list_sessions`,
+   `reconnect_turn`), need presenter wiring only. **Cheapest; unblocked.**
+2. **`GET /capabilities` + `GET /me`** — cheap debug primitives. Unblocked.
+3. **BifrostState + Tools widgets** (`GET /admin/sessions/{id}/{bifrost,tools}`)
+   — design-brief'd v1, unbuilt. Admin-key-gated reads.
+4. **#11 — AdminEvents pane** — **blocked** on an `admin.events.read` scope grant
+   (infra-ops). The single externally-blocked item; everything else can ship
+   without it.
+
+**Tier 2 — rounds out coverage** (lower priority):
+
+5. **`GET /sessions/{id}/tools`** — owner-scoped tool introspection; consumer-key
+   reachable (no admin scope), so unblocked.
+6. **Transient-characters routing** (4 endpoints) + **`POST /sessions/{id}/persona_state`**.
+
+---
+
+## Pin remediation (finding P-1) — DONE 2026-06-30
+
+Re-pinned to the frozen machine-readable artifacts (the chosen option):
+`conversation-api-openapi.json` (2.2.0) + `conversation-api-sse-events.schema.json`
+are vendored under `docs/` and pinned in `.corviduo-canonicals.toml`
+(`worldtree-conversation-api-openapi-v2`, `-sse-events-v1`), drift-gated by
+`canonical_drift.py`. The prose markdown stays as a `tolerate_drift` reference
+(`-spec-v1`). `pyproject.toml` spec pin advanced f1b59f8 → 5810a26 (v1.0.0b2);
+`docs/SPEC-PIN.md` records the bump. This map now audits a frozen, diffable
+target — re-running the audit is a `canonical_drift.py` check away.
+
+---
+
+## Decisions
+
+1. **Scope mandate — RESOLVED 2026-06-30: A (ledger-mandate).** v1 "done" = every

@@ -138,6 +138,20 @@ decision. Captures rationale that won't be obvious from code alone.
 - `[2026-06-19]` **Ratatoskr v1 is DERIVED from Worldtree I/O coverage (operator) — no self-defined feature ROADMAP.** v1 = consume all of Worldtree's I/O points, reached when Worldtree hits 1.0; the convergence target is a coverage map, not a 3–7 capability list. [auto-memory `project-ratatoskr-v1-derived-from-worldtree-io-coverage`]
 - `[2026-06-20]` **#18's final leg PROVEN — composite `:8392` WT-driven smoke ran end-to-end + persisted.** infra-ops allowlisted `10.100.10.50:8392` on the personal WT (`01KVHWJGTT…`); a real WT turn (session `b83a66b6`, `ratatoskr:sindra`, fresh end_user `resmoke-choco-1`) dispatched the full both-plane lifecycle through ONE endpoint — handshake (both caps) → `affect.fetch` + `memory.search` → `affect.emit` (`stored:true`) → `memory.upsert_many` (`upserted:1`) — both writes verified in our SQLite (`affect_snapshots` PAD row + `memory_chunks` chunk `2df1b79…`). First attempt blocked by a `model_unavailable` outage on the personal WT (both agents' models down), operator-fixed mid-session, then clean. The composite has no open legs.
 - `[2026-06-20]` **#17 CLOSED in the tracker.** Shipped end-to-end (`v0.17.8`–`.13` + op-feed field fix `v0.17.17`); the 2026-06-20 composite smoke re-exercised its op-feed live. Closing comment captures the full both-plane proof. Open issues now just #11 (scope-blocked) + #10 (watch).
+- `[2026-06-20]` **Sindra has real PAD but ~empty memory — the affect/memory persistence asymmetry, confirmed on real sessions.** affect EMITS every turn (persona always accumulates: vuong 8→14 interactions across the session); memory only writes on a PROMOTION trigger (salience / turn_count≥6 / idle-≥10min flush). Two real vuong sessions through the combined bind (`04d6414c`, `433541fe`) drove affect emits + memory SEARCHES but ZERO promotion upserts → `memory.db` holds only the smoke fixture, zero vuong chunks. Operator: acceptable (server-takedown = "Sindra bonked on the head"; transient memory loss WAD). Operational catch: combined-as-default web bind saves persona reliably but silently LOSES memory if a session closes before a promotion trigger fires.
+- `[2026-06-29]` **Web SPA combined-bind default (`v0.18.1`, `719e4d6`) — operator-caught gap.** #18 shipped the composite `:8392` provider but never exposed it in the web bind dropdown (only memory/affect single-plane). Added `combined (:8392)` as the DEFAULT option (both planes in one session), kept single-plane for isolation diagnostics; wired `endpoint_for_plane` combined→8392 + server validation + the dropdown. Direct TDD; #17 contract updated (the governing spec for the web bind). Restarted `:8765` on current code (env.sh + provider.env + `RATATOSKR_AFFECT_READ_URL=:8392`).
+- `[2026-06-29]` **bifrost repinned 1.0.0 (`v0.18.2`, `af67ad9`).** bifrost-dev shipped its first stable release; wire v0.6 now STABLE/FROZEN. Non-breaking (byte-identical to 0.10.0); switched the floor pin → exact `==1.0.0` per the stable-substrate posture. Post-1.0 breaking changes ride a bifrost MAJOR + new wire (v0.7+); a v0.6-pinned consumer is stable indefinitely. (Also this session: althing migrated to v0.15.0+ lean-bus / schema v4 — moderation retired, chamber/redis ripped; our tooling auto-updated to 0.17.4.)
+- `[2026-06-30]` **Worldtree v1.0.0b1→b2 consumer adaptation: eager turn-launch statuses (`v0.18.3` `b2e4901`, `v0.18.4` `e4317f6`).** Worldtree #331 decoupled turn execution from the SSE connection → turn-launch failures now arrive EAGERLY as a status before any stream: 409 `agent_not_available` (pre-b1 a 200 + in-stream error event), 503 retryable. Mapped both in `stream_turn` to typed `SseConnectFailed` subclasses keyed on STATUS, parsing the `{detail:{error_code,message}}` envelope — POST-003 preserved (no synthetic event yielded), existing handlers still catch (the design fork vs yield-an-Error-event was decided by POST-003). **DEFERRED follow-ups** (tracked here; bundle with the v1 coverage-audit): (1) live-prove the 409/503 end-to-end on personal-b2 (now unblocked — personal on b2, my key works there); (2) full `conversation-api-spec.md` markdown re-vendor to the b2 era (ratatoskr vendors the markdown, not the OpenAPI JSON).
+- `[2026-06-30]` **Verify-against-the-real-spec-before-committing caught a real upstream gap.** Holding the v0.18.3 commit to verify against demo's OpenAPI surfaced that the FROZEN OpenAPI 2.1.0 didn't document the 409/503 the heads-up described (`agent_not_available` was in the ErrorCode enum, but NO 503/turn-launch code). worldtree-dev confirmed it was THEIR gap (#331 added the statuses without extending the #328 `openapi()` override), shipped the fix in **v1.0.0b2 / OpenAPI 2.2.0** (409/503 now enumerated, 503 code finalized as `not_ready`). "The consumer-oracle earning its keep." Lesson: a provider's prose heads-up can diverge from its frozen machine-readable spec — verify the actual spec before committing a consumer adaptation.
+- `[2026-06-30]` **regard is a DEAD AXIS in Worldtree's emitted affect (caught provider-side; worldtree-dev confirmed + escalated to Vuong).** Across all our affect snapshots, `valence[].regard` is EXACTLY 0.15 regardless of agent/end_user/interaction_count, while familiarity accumulates (vuong 0.18→0.69 over 14 turns). Root cause (worldtree-dev, code-grounded): 0.15 = `base_regard = agreeableness*0.3` (sindra A=0.5); regard's only human-writer `update_regard` early-returns unless an emotion is `about="other"`, but the Vili appraiser's `ViliResponse` schema has NO directedness axis (everything hardcoded `about="situation"`) — producer side lost in the #265 Vili rework; consumer machinery intact. NOT WAD; the fix (reintroduce other-directed classification) is an affect-model change touching every agent + a directedness-classification design call → worldtree-dev filing an issue to Vuong. [the consumer/provider thesis paying off again]
+- `[2026-06-30]` **v1 coverage-audit kicked off; coverage ledger written (`docs/coverage-map.md`) — the first one.** Every Worldtree v1-FROZEN I/O point × ratatoskr status. Anchored on WT's frozen machine-readable artifacts (OpenAPI **2.2.0** `conversation-api-openapi.json` = 40 REST path-groups + SSE schema = 11 events + bifrost wire v0.6), NOT the stale vendored prose markdown. Result: **SSE 11/11 ✅; Bifrost provider planes 8/8 ✅ live-proven** (covers the full `bifrost.memory.MemoryDataStore` protocol = describe_store/get/get_many/search/upsert_many + delete_many, and affect emit/fetch; **`health` is extended-reference-store-only, NOT in the base protocol → correctly deferred, NOT a gap** — settles the prior "health" ambiguity); **client REST 7/40 ✅ live, 11 ⬜ in-scope, 22 🚫 excluded.**
+- `[2026-06-30]` **Scope mandate A locked (operator): v1 "done" = every frozen I/O point CLASSIFIED (covered-or-excluded-with-rationale), zero unaccounted — NOT a feature-complete client.** The coverage map is a LEDGER, not a build-everything mandate. Reconciles the 2026-06-19 "consume all I/O" reframe with the 2026-05-20 design-brief's "NOT an admin tool" + deferral negative clauses (which predate both the provider identity and the reframe). Resolved the 11 design-brief-vs-reframe ❓ rows via the debug-observability test (*does a turn flow through it?*): 🚫 search / uploads / pending / embed / judgments (consumer-product + eval utilities); ⬜ transient-characters routing (4) + persona_state-write (Tier-2 frontier). **Frontier Tier 1 (all unblocked except #11):** session-picker + SSE-resume (wrappers `list_sessions`/`reconnect_turn` exist with NO caller — presenter-wiring only) → `GET /capabilities` + `GET /me` → BifrostState/Tools widgets (`GET /admin/sessions/{id}/{bifrost,tools}`, admin-key) → **#11 AdminEvents BLOCKED on `admin.events.read` scope**. The 3 admin-observability widgets + picker + resume were design-brief §5/§4/§8d v1 items that **were never built**.
+- `[2026-06-30]` **Finding P-1 (pin drift) + pin-remediation PENDING.** We vendor the PROSE markdown (`docs/conversation-api-spec.md`), which is **byte-identical to live WT's** but frozen at v0.35.16-era content (last WT edit 2026-05-31) — it does NOT capture b2: 7 new endpoints (admin/keys/bulk, admin/persona/{archive,erase}, admin/usage, embed, judgments, me/usage), the 409/503 on messages-POST (#331), the unified error envelope (#328), or the SSE schema. **WT's authoritative v1 truth is now the FROZEN OpenAPI 2.2.0 + SSE-schema JSON** (`Worldtree/docs/v1-schema-freeze-manifest.md`). So the previously-deferred "re-vendor markdown to b2" is a **near-no-op** (markdown content identical). **Pending operator nod:** re-pin to the machine-readable artifacts (recommended — drift-checkable via `canonical_drift.py`, makes the coverage map reproducible vs a frozen diffable target) vs markdown-only. Deferred (not auto-applied) because it adds vendored artifacts + a canonical-sync pin = substrate change with CI-gating reach. **→ RESOLVED 2026-06-30 (operator: "a then b").** Vendored `conversation-api-openapi.json` (2.2.0) + `conversation-api-sse-events.schema.json` + re-copied the prose markdown; pinned all three in `.corviduo-canonicals.toml` (OpenAPI+SSE = strict drift gates, markdown = `tolerate_drift` reference); advanced `worldtree-spec-rev` f1b59f8→5810a26 + `worldtree-version` v0.29.0(STALE, never bumped from the v0.35.16 pin)→v1.0.0b2 + `pinned-on`→2026-06-30; SPEC-PIN.md history row added. `canonical_drift.py` green (10/10). `pin:`-only, no version bump (no client-facing code change; the b2 409/503 + error-envelope were already consumed in v0.18.3/.4).
+
+- `[2026-06-30]` **(b) Tier-1 frontier SCOPED, ready for a contract-first TDD cycle (next focused work).** The primitives already exist + are contracted + tested; the gap is PRESENTER-level wiring. Two slices: **(b1) SSE-resume** — contract #1 (`ratatoskr.sse_client`) DELIBERATELY makes resume caller-owned ("on `SseConnectionDropped`, the caller MAY invoke `reconnect_turn`"); `reconnect_turn` (sse_client.py:524) has NO caller. Gap = a SHARED resume-orchestration wrapper (catch `SseConnectionDropped` → track last-seen `sse_id` → `reconnect_turn` → continue), consumed by all 3 presenters per design-brief §8b "share the consumer, branch the presenter" (NOT per-presenter — that forks the consumer). New function block → **amend contract #1** (additive FN, e.g. `stream_turn_resilient`) then TDD (RED: drop-mid-stream→resume continuity; GREEN: wrapper; wire `cli --send` first as the tracer). Resume design pre-locked: in-process Last-Event-ID only, cross-process deferred to v2 (design-brief §8d). **(b2) session-picker** — `list_sessions` (sessions.py:198) has NO caller; add a Textual DataTable startup picker (>1 session) + `--session <id>`/`--new` CLI flags (design-brief §4, decisions pre-locked). Both pre-locked → heid-contract-review likely skippable as ceremony (small additive amendments to mature specs); heid-code-review still valuable. **#11 AdminEvents stays BLOCKED** on `admin.events.read` scope (infra-ops).
+- `[2026-06-30]` **(b1) SSE-resume SHIPPED (`v0.18.5`) — `stream_turn_resilient` (sse_client.py).** The shared resume-orchestration surface (design-brief §8b): wraps `stream_turn`+`reconnect_turn`, catches `SseConnectionDropped` (mid-stream drop OR clean-EOF-before-terminal) → resumes from last-seen `sse_id` via `reconnect_turn` (Last-Event-ID), up to `max_reconnects` (default 5); non-drop reconnect failures (412/410/400/TurnIdFlip/SseConnectFailed) PROPAGATE per contract #1's "surface, not recover". `last_seen` persists ACROSS attempts (a zero-event reconnect drop falls back to the prior attempt's id). Direct in-session TDD against a contract-#1 amendment (8 cases incl. two-drops, max-reconnects-exhausted, zero-budget, buffer-expired-propagates, unresumable-zero-event). Wired ALL THREE presenters through it (`v0.18.6`): `cli --send` (`cli.py:396`), TUI (`tui.py:1321`), web (`web/server.py:294`) — each a name-for-name `stream_turn`→`stream_turn_resilient` swap (the §8b "all presenters share the consumer" promise, fully kept; the TUI is the primary resume beneficiary — long-lived sessions / laptop-suspend). Suite 518 green; ruff+mypy clean on touched code (pre-existing cli.py:400/543 mypy warts left untouched per surgical rule); contract #1 validates OK. **heid-code-review NOT run** (small additive well-TDD'd wrapper; offered to operator). **b2 (session-picker + `--session`/`--new` flags) still pending.**
+
+- `[2026-06-30]` **(b2) session-picker SHIPPED (`v0.18.7`) — bare TUI mode → startup picker (design-brief §4).** `list_sessions` had NO caller; now bare TUI mode (no `--session`/`--new`) resolves via `list_sessions` in `_resolve_then_run`: **0 sessions → `[no_sessions]` error, exit 14** (resume-only, honors §4 "no in-app session creation — `--new` flag only"); **exactly 1 → auto-resume** (§4 "picker only when >1"); **≥2 → new `SessionPickerApp`** (Textual `App[str|None]`, mirrors `AgentPickerApp`; ListView of sessions) → resume the pick (Esc/Ctrl-D → exit 0). cli `_parse` relaxed: bare TUI now VALID (was "pass exactly one" error); `--send` still requires one flag (non-interactive, no picker); `--agent` forbidden in bare mode; `run_tui` PRE-002 XOR→"not both". Direct in-session TDD (contract #6 amendment, validated OK): 3 widget pilot tests + 5 `_resolve_then_run` resolution tests + 3 cli validation tests. Suite **528 green**; touched code ruff-clean (mypy: only the `BINDINGS` list-invariance warning every App in tui.py already carries — consistent). **DESIGN NOTE — bare+0-sessions → error (clause-consistent). The friendlier auto-fall-through-to-new alternative is DEFERRED pending operator preference (it would create a session without `--new`, against the §4 negative clause).** **Frontier now: `GET /capabilities`+`GET /me` → BifrostState/Tools widgets (`GET /admin/sessions/{id}/{bifrost,tools}`, admin-key) → #11 AdminEvents (BLOCKED on `admin.events.read`).** heid-code-review NOT run on b1 or b2 (offered).

 - `[2026-06-19]` **heid-code-review pulled MORE weight than its own "marginal" self-assessment.** The panel returned zero drift, but its single test-fidelity finding CASCADED into 2 real latent-bug fixes when applied (the memory `check_same_thread` bug + Regin's op-feed field-name bug). **Lesson: a contract-fidelity nudge can transitively expose bugs the test never reached — don't dismiss a "marginal" finding by its count.**

A 15s-interval background poll caught it on the first tick. Same family as the affect.emit / async-promotion traps already logged — re-confirmed that "wait once then read" is fragile for post-turn writes; **poll a window, don't snapshot once.** (The affect.emit write, by contrast, DID land inside the 35s window — promotion is the slower of the two post-turn writes.)

Same as the admin key (personal-only). **To live-drive a given instance you need a key minted FOR that instance** (request via infra-ops).

vh	5c1b9816d4	feat(#6 ): startup session picker for bare TUI mode v1 coverage-audit slice b2. The audit found list_sessions had no caller — the startup session picker (design-brief §4) was never built; bare TUI mode was a hard usage error. Add SessionPickerApp (mirrors AgentPickerApp) and resolve bare mode in _resolve_then_run. - Bare TUI mode (no --session/--new) now valid → session picker. Resolution: 0 sessions -> [no_sessions] exit 14 (resume-only per §4 "no in-app creation, --new only"); exactly 1 -> auto-resume (§4 "picker only when >1"); >=2 -> SessionPickerApp -> resume pick (Esc/Ctrl-D -> exit 0). - cli._parse: bare TUI valid; --send still requires one flag; --agent forbidden in bare mode. run_tui PRE-002 xor -> mutually-exclusive. - Contract #6 amended (SessionPickerApp + bare-mode resolution) + validated. TDD: 3 picker pilot tests + 5 resolution tests + 3 cli validation tests. Suite 528 green; touched code ruff-clean. Design note: bare + 0 sessions errors (honors §4's no-in-app-creation clause); the friendlier auto-fall-through-to-new is deferred pending operator preference.	2026-06-30 22:05:14 -07:00
vh	2ba4244e9e	feat(#1 ): route TUI + web presenters through stream_turn_resilient Complete b1's design-brief §8b promise ("all presenters share the consumer"): the TUI and web SSE consumers now resume transparently on a mid-stream drop, same as cli --send (v0.18.5). The TUI is the primary beneficiary — long-lived dev sessions across laptop suspend. Name-for-name swap of stream_turn -> stream_turn_resilient at the two remaining consumer loops (tui.py:1321, web/server.py:294) + their imports. No behavioral change on the happy path (resilient == stream when there is no drop); suite 518 green; touched lines ruff+mypy clean (pre-existing tui/web lint debt left untouched per surgical rule).	2026-06-30 15:46:04 -07:00
vh	0c7660791f	feat(#1 ): shared SSE resume orchestration; wire cli --send v1 coverage-audit slice b1. The audit found reconnect_turn had no caller — every presenter dropped the stream on disconnect instead of resuming, leaving the "reference SSE-resume implementation" (design- brief §3/§8d) unreachable. Add stream_turn_resilient as the single shared resume surface (design-brief §8b "share the consumer, branch the presenter") and route cli --send through it. - stream_turn_resilient wraps stream_turn + reconnect_turn: on SseConnectionDropped (mid-stream drop or clean EOF before terminal), resume from the last-seen sse_id via reconnect_turn (Last-Event-ID), up to max_reconnects (default 5). last_seen persists across attempts. - Non-drop reconnect failures (412/410/400/TurnIdFlip/SseConnectFailed) propagate unchanged, per contract #1's "surface, not recover". - cli.py: --send consumer now drives stream_turn_resilient (transparent reconnect). tui/web still consume bare stream_turn (follow-up). - Contract #1 amended (FN stream_turn_resilient) + validated; 8 TDD cases (happy, resume-after-1/2-drops, clean-EOF resume, unresumable zero-event, max-reconnects-exhausted, zero-budget, buffer-expired- propagates). Suite 518 green; ruff + mypy clean on touched code.	2026-06-30 15:42:33 -07:00
vh	1f289098ba	memory: scope (b) Tier-1 frontier — SSE-resume + session-picker slices Capture the contract-first plan for the two presenter-wiring gaps (resume-orchestration wrapper per design-brief 8b; picker + CLI flags per 4) so the next focused TDD cycle has the slice plan resident.	2026-06-30 15:32:15 -07:00
vh	b798068932	pin: re-pin to Worldtree's FROZEN v1 surface (OpenAPI 2.2.0 + SSE schema) v1 coverage-audit remediation P-1: vendor the authoritative machine- readable artifacts and pin them for drift-checking, advancing the spec pin from v0.35.16 (f1b59f8) to v1.0.0b2 (5810a26). - Vendor docs/conversation-api-openapi.json (OpenAPI 2.2.0, 40 path- groups) + docs/conversation-api-sse-events.schema.json (11 events). - Pin all three Conversation-API artifacts in .corviduo-canonicals.toml: OpenAPI + SSE schema as strict drift gates (canonical_drift.py), the prose markdown as tolerate_drift reference. Drift check green (10/10). - pyproject: worldtree-spec-rev -> 5810a26, worldtree-version -> v1.0.0b2 (was stale at v0.29.0), pinned-on -> 2026-06-30. - SPEC-PIN.md: current-pin table + history row + vendored-artifacts list. - coverage-map.md: P-1 marked remediated; the map now audits a frozen, diffable target. The prose markdown is byte-identical to v0.35.16 (last WT edit 2026-05-31); the b2 surface lives only in the OpenAPI. No client- facing code change (the b2 409/503 + unified error envelope were already consumed in v0.18.3/.4) -> pin-only, no version bump.	2026-06-30 15:28:52 -07:00

Anchored on WT's frozen machine-readable artifacts (OpenAPI 2.2.0 = 40 REST path-groups + SSE schema = 11 events + bifrost wire v0.6), not the stale vendored prose markdown. - SSE 11/11 and Bifrost provider planes 8/8 covered + live-proven; client REST 7/40 live, 11 in-scope frontier, 22 excluded-by-design. - Scope mandate A (operator): v1 done = every frozen point classified (covered-or-excluded-with-rationale), zero unaccounted; not a feature-complete client. - Finding P-1: vendored prose markdown is byte-identical to live WT but frozen at v0.35.16-era content; b2's surface lives in the OpenAPI 2.2.0 + SSE-schema JSON we don't vendor.

vh	a358cc9150	memory: snapshot — b1→b2 409/503 adaptation + bifrost 1.0.0 + combined-bind default + admin key + regard-dead-axis finding Worldtree on v1.0.0b2 (both demo + personal); ratatoskr v0.18.4 all pushed. Session arc: web combined-bind default (v0.18.1), bifrost 1.0.0 repin (v0.18.2), b1/b2 eager 409/503 status mapping (v0.18.3/.4), readonly-admin key collected (#11 prereq cleared), and the regard-dead-axis finding (provider-side catch -> worldtree-dev escalating to Vuong). Next substantive effort = the v1 coverage-audit (folds in the deferred live-409 + b2 spec re-vendor).	2026-06-30 13:57:04 -07:00
vh	e4317f6a73	fix: pin the eager-503 default error_code to `not_ready` (Worldtree b2) worldtree-dev finalized the #331 503 turn-launch error_code as `not_ready` (re-pinned from internal_error; retryable, matching the /readyz 503 sense) and re-froze the OpenAPI at 2.2.0 documenting the 409/503 statuses our v0.18.3 mapping already handles. Tighten our fallback default from the placeholder `turn_launch_unavailable` to the canonical `not_ready` (the default only fires when the body omits error_code — the real code is surfaced verbatim regardless). +1 test, suite 510 green. NOTE: a full conversation-api-spec.md re-vendor to the b2 era is a separate, larger pin-refresh (ratatoskr vendors the markdown spec, not the OpenAPI JSON) — deferred, to bundle with the v1 coverage-audit / when personal is on b2.	2026-06-30 13:26:14 -07:00
vh	b2e4901264	feat: map Worldtree b1 eager turn-launch statuses (409/503) in stream_turn Worldtree v1.0.0b1 (#331) decoupled turn execution from the SSE connection, so turn-launch failures now arrive EAGERLY as an HTTP status before any stream: 409 agent_not_available (pre-b1 was a 200 + in-stream error event) and 503 (retryable turn-launch / infra failure). stream_turn previously funneled both into a generic SseConnectFailed. Map them to typed SseConnectFailed subclasses — AgentNotAvailable (409) and TurnLaunchUnavailable (503, retryable=True) — carrying the parsed error_code/message from the {detail:{error_code,message}} envelope. Subclassing keeps existing `except SseConnectFailed` handlers working with zero changes (POST-003 preserved — no synthetic event yielded; raise mirrors reconnect_turn's 400/410/412 pattern). worldtree-dev confirmed 409/503 are real runtime statuses; the OpenAPI 2.1.0 gap (not enumerating them) is theirs to fix (doc-completeness, not a wire break). The 503 error_code is being re-pinned upstream (today internal_error -> likely not_ready); our handling keys on STATUS so it's robust to the final code — tighten the 503 default once they confirm. Body shape live-confirmed against demo b1's 404/401 responses. Suite 509 green. Contract docs/contracts/issues/1.contract.md updated.	2026-06-30 13:11:33 -07:00
vh	af67ad995c	chore(deps): repin bifrost==1.0.0 (first stable; wire v0.6 frozen) Bifrost shipped 1.0.0 — first stable release, freezing wire v0.6 (the surface ratatoskr's combined-builder consumer #18 already adopted). Non-breaking: byte-identical on the wire to the prior >=0.10.0 pin. Switched floor pin -> exact pin per the stable-substrate posture. Suite 506 green against bifrost 1.0.0.	2026-06-29 11:10:01 -07:00
