Fix scratchpad tool: rename op→action, add examples, improve error messages
...
- Rename primary parameter from 'op' to 'action' for consistency with
all other tools (terminal, filesystem, todo, etc.). Legacy 'op' still
works as a fallback to avoid breaking old calls in compressed context.
- Add JSON examples directly in the tool description so the model sees
the exact structure to produce.
- Improve all error messages to include the correct JSON example,
making it obvious what the model did wrong.
- Add manuals/scratchpad.md for tool_manual support.
- Update and expand tests for new syntax and error cases.

Migrate MCP tool naming from mcp:server:tool to mcp__server__tool
...
The colon separator (mcp:server:tool) confuses many LLMs during
tool-calling because colons appear in schemas and URLs. Switch to
double-underscore separator (mcp__server__tool) for robust parsing.
Key changes:
- navi/mcp/tools.py: add build_mcp_name(), parse_mcp_name(), is_mcp_tool()
- navi/core/tool_executor.py: update _resolve_tool() with new helpers
and legacy colon fallback for old sessions
- navi/core/tool_utils.py, subagent_runner.py: use build_mcp_name()
- navi/api/routes/{admin,agents}.py: prefix via build_mcp_name()
- navi/tools/{list_tools,reload_tools}.py: migrated
- All profile configs + system_prompt.txt: replace mcp: with mcp__
- manuals/{model_3d,lint_scad,render_3d,spawn_agent}.md: updated
- mcp_servers.d/gnexus-book.json: instructions updated
- docs/{api,profiles,tools,mechanics,visual.html}: updated
- tests: test_tool_executor.py and test_mcp.py aligned

Route subagent planning events into spawn_agent card in the UI
...
Previously PlanningStatus/PlanReady had no is_subagent flag, so subagent
planning spinners and plan cards rendered as top-level Navi planning UI.
Backend:
- Add is_subagent field to PlanningStatus and PlanReady events
- _run_planning accepts is_subagent param, passes it through all yields
- run_ephemeral calls _run_planning with is_subagent=True
- websocket.py forwards is_subagent in planning_status and plan_ready messages
Frontend (chat.js):
- onPlanningStatus: if is_subagent, set planningLabel on the last spawn_agent
card instead of msg.statusLabel
- onPlanReady: if is_subagent, push plan into spawn card steps and clear
planningLabel; otherwise behave as before
Frontend (ToolCard.vue):
- Render subagent-planning-indicator (spinner + label) when planningLabel set
- Render plan cards inside subagent steps using the same plan-card pattern
Also includes leftover session changes: spawn_agent default 40 in description
and manual, updated manual content.

Remove context_transfer from all user-facing prompts — internal mechanism only
...
context_transfer is the scratchpad section name used internally by spawn_agent
to auto-inject parent state. Navi doesn't control it and doesn't need to know
about it. Removed from: persona, secretary, server_admin, spawn_agent description,
manual. Internal code (spawn_agent.py) still reads the section transparently.

Fix spawn_agent: restore briefing, fix status leakage, enable subagent planning
...
spawn_agent:
- Restore briefing param (task = goal, briefing = context — good separation)
- Add system_prompt as third param for role specialisation per task
- Remove [STATUS: ...] prefix that was leaking into Navi's responses and
causing hallucination — replaced with natural-language headers that are
less likely to be regurgitated verbatim
- completed → neutral header; limit_reached → explicit warning about incompleteness
Profiles:
- subagent_planning_enabled: false → true in all three profiles
(planning is on by default, disable per-profile if needed)

Improve subagent system: isolated tools, custom prompts, context transfer, timeout
...
AgentProfile:
- New fields: subagent_tools, subagent_planning_enabled, subagent_system_prompt
- loader.py: loads subagent_tools/subagent_planning_enabled from config.json,
reads optional subagent_system_prompt.txt per profile
Profiles:
- Each profile now has a dedicated subagent_tools list (focused subset, no admin tools)
- subagent_planning_enabled: false (configurable per profile)
- New subagent_system_prompt.txt per profile with executor-focused instructions
run_ephemeral:
- Uses profile.subagent_tools instead of enabled_tools
- Builds subagent context without persona or profiles block (focused executor)
- Injects subagent_system_prompt after profile.system_prompt
- Accepts context_transfer: priming exchange injected before task message
- Wall-clock timeout (default 5 min) checked per iteration
- Returns (result_text, completed: bool) instead of bare string
- Optionally runs planning phase if profile.subagent_planning_enabled
spawn_agent:
- Removed briefing param; task is now fully self-contained
- Added system_prompt param: custom injected prompt for this specific task
- Auto-reads parent scratchpad context_transfer section via get_section()
- Result prefixed with [STATUS: completed|limit_reached]
- Timeout 300s
scratchpad:
- Added get_section(session_id, section) helper for cross-session reads

Major feature batch: visibility, planning, file uploads, streaming
...
- stream_complete(): streaming with tools for all LLM turns — thinking
now streams as ThinkingDelta/ThinkingEnd in real-time during tool-
selection turns, not just on the final response
- todo built-in tool: session-scoped plan manager (set/view/update/clear);
persona + all profiles updated with mandatory planning instructions
- TurnThinking event: sub-agent thinking forwarded to parent sink as a
collapsible block in the spawn_agent card
- File uploads: non-image files uploaded via XHR, shown as badges in
message bubble; SVG treated as regular file (not base64 image)
- session_files: POST /sessions/{id}/files, TTL cleanup, forbidden exts
- WebSocket reconnect: _AgentRun broadcast pattern, re-attach mid-stream
- UI: favicon, sidebar logo, turn-thinking cards, subagent thinking blocks,
token counter, draft persistence, file progress bar
- Removed AgentNote (content is always None alongside tool_calls)
- Ollama stream_complete: tool_calls captured from non-final chunk (done=False)
