swarm names: two female names (Japanese/American/Spanish) instead of adjective-animal
...
Single names would collide across a swarm (peers are addressed by name),
a mixed pair like 'yuki-grace' or 'sofia-rin' gives 150x150 combinations.
Only affects NEW installs - existing instance.json names stay as they are.

swarm stage 2: peer-to-peer channel — /peer endpoints + peer tool
...
Server side (navi/api/routes/peer.py, port 8099):
- GET /peer/hello — open discovery ping (name, uuid prefix, version)
- GET /peer/status — PSK; identity, uptime, machine facts, hive view
- POST /peer/ask — PSK; one-shot agent run under PEER_ASK_PROFILE
(default server_admin) answers, one concurrent ask at a time
- loop guard: answering agent runs without the peer tool (deterministic
recursion cut) + own-uuid asks refused with 409
- verify_swarm_key in navi/swarm.py accepts .swarm-key.previous
(rotation window, constant-time)
Client side (navi/tools/peer.py):
- peer tool: list (hive book, stale cache fallback marked), status,
ask by swarm name; asks go direct peer-to-peer, hive never on the
message path
- audit events on both sides (peer.ask_sent/received/answered/failed)
peer tool added to server_admin, navi_code, developer profiles.

X-Swarm-Key with .swarm-key.previous rotation window, TTL online

port: 8000/8001 -> 8099/8098 everywhere
...
navi runs on shared servers where 8000/8001 are usually taken. New
defaults: API 8099, navi_ui MCP 8098. Touched: config defaults
(navi_port, navi_ui_mcp_port, public_url, gnauth_redirect_uri),
navi-server launcher docs, env.template/.env.example, install.sh
health-check fallback, terminal client base_url, webclient dev configs
(useWebSocket, contentLinks, vite proxy), android url hint, docs.
Also made the navi_ui FastMCP constructor port settings-driven instead
of a hardcoded 8001 (it was overridden at start anyway).

server: NAVI_WEBCLIENT_ENABLED gate + navi-server launcher
...
NAVI_WEBCLIENT_ENABLED=false removes every web-facing route (/, /assets,
/images, /content-viewers, /content, /admin panel, /debug*) and skips
the navi_ui MCP server — its only consumer is the webclient. The REST
API and WS the terminal client uses stay fully intact, and so does the
/admin/* JSON API (still gated by require_admin). Static mounts use
check_dir=False so a tree without webclient/dist imports fine.
New navi-server console script (navi/server.py): uvicorn launcher that
reads NAVI_HOST/NAVI_PORT from settings — the systemd unit needs no
hardcoded values.
Default stays true (full web UI), so nothing changes for dev setups;
subprocess route tests cover both modes.

mcp: a dead MCP endpoint no longer kills server startup
...
A failed transport connect inside the MCP SDK's anyio cancel scopes
surfaces as CancelledError without any task.cancel(). The runner mistook
that for a real teardown, cancelled the in-flight caller's future, and
McpManager.load_all (which only catches Exception) let it blow up the
whole lifespan startup — one unreachable server in mcp_servers.d/ meant
a dead Navi.
The runner now distinguishes real task cancellation
(asyncio.current_task().cancelling()) from the anyio artifact: the
latter is surfaced to the caller as a normal connect failure, the
server pool marks it disconnected and the health-check loop retries.
Also, when the runner dies for any reason, pending queue commands are
failed instead of leaving _send callers hanging forever.

compress: route every trigger path through compress_and_save_session
...
- CompressionWorker keeps the real-token gate (ctx.context_tokens) but now
delegates to compress_and_save_session(reason="postturn") — it used to
call compress_context directly with its own save logic and silently
no-op'ed on any summarizer failure, leaving the session over the
threshold until the next turn's gates
- pre-turn and /compact gates use real_baseline_estimate instead of the
chars//3 heuristic (mid-turn already did), so code-heavy contexts
compress in time instead of tripping ContextTooLargeError
- summarizer input keeps head + tail instead of head-only truncation,
which silently dropped the newest summarized messages closest to the
keep window
- critical tool results over the 4000-char budget keep head+tail halves
instead of collapsing to the 800-char non-critical preview (a 3999-char
read survived whole, a 4001-char one lost 98%)
- images count 500 tokens each, not 500 per message carrying them
- _plan_compression is the single partition decision shared by
compress_context and would_compress, so the dry-run prediction cannot
drift from the real path; the trigger reason is now logged
(preturn/midturn/postturn/forced)

planning: replace the mandatory pre-turn gate with an agent-invoked plan tool

removed (sub-agents keep DIRECT for trivial subtasks)
- replan merged into plan: `reason` (+ updated_goal) packs the re-plan
context, without a reason it is fresh planning
- both phases call the LLM with think=False — cloud reasoning models leak
their chain-of-thought into structured output on non-streaming calls —
and strip the gemma "thought<channel|>" content artifact
- Phase 1 conversation windowed to ~20k chars, newest-first with the
original task pinned (28.7k-token prompts came back as 1-token output)
- confirmation by COMPLEXITY: the tool result tells the agent to present
complex plans and wait; sub-agents keep the execute-now injection
- PlanningStatus/PlanReady reach the UI mid-turn via current_event_sink
(ctx.event_sink is None in the agent loop — events silently never
reached the WS before)

The 30s timeout was a hard constant; long computations or test suites hit it
with no escape hatch. Expose it as a `timeout` param (clamped 1-300s, default

TUI renderer can highlight without hard-coding, and record `timeout` on the

compress: raise budget 6000 + richer prompt detail + input headroom
...
Increase the compression summary budget and push the prompt toward more
detail and completeness, so the agent keeps more durable facts when old turns
are folded into a summary.
Budget (output):
- context_summary_max_tokens 4000 → 6000 (global default).
- navi_code compression_max_tokens 4000 → 6000 (profile override).
Prompt (base, all profiles):
- New 'Intermediate Findings' section: durable facts from read/grep/log/terminal
that informed decisions (was forbidden by 'do not preserve intermediate
reasoning'). Existing sections get richer instructions (Active Files: key
symbol affected; Decisions: rationale + trigger; Completed: step + file +
verification outcome; Errors: snippet + what was tried + outcome).
- Loosen 'tight bullet points' → 'specific and complete; prefer listing over
generalizing — losing a fact costs more than a longer summary'.
- 'Do not write implementation code' → 'preserve short critical code verbatim
(final signatures, one-line fixes, key config lines); drop long blocks'.
Input headroom (so the summarizer can SEE what it must preserve):
- Non-critical tool result preview 300 → 800 chars.
- _MAX_SUMMARY_INPUT_CHARS 24000 → 32000 (fits 65k–128k windows with 6k output).
Profile prompt (navi_code/compression_prompt.txt): preserve short diagnostic
snippets verbatim (exact error line, failing assertion, one-line fix) instead
of blanket 'do not preserve long output'; keep code signatures + short key
snippets, not just names.
Tests: Intermediate Findings section in base prompt; 'short critical code'
phrasing; non-critical preview keeps 800 chars; meta-summary threshold raised
(2×6000 chars). Fixed flaky test_attach_session_seeds_context_fill (relied on
_startup worker timing after Etap 4 lengthened attach; now explicit attach
like its sibling + mock get_todos to skip a 30s×2 real-network timeout).
Full suite: 1008 passed, 1 skipped.

todo: add op — append steps discovered mid-task (preserve statuses)
...
The todo tool only had set/view/update/clear. Adding a step that surfaced
mid-task meant either 'set' (which replaces the plan and resets every status
to pending) or 'replan' (1–3 LLM calls) — both heavy for a single new step, so
the agent usually skipped recording it. Add a cheap 'add' op:
- navi/tools/todo.py: op 'add' (tasks: list[str]) appends new _Task entries to
the end of the existing plan in pending status; existing steps and their
statuses are untouched. Requires an existing plan (points to 'set'
otherwise). Schema enum + op description + tool description updated.
- system_prompt.txt: tell the agent to record new subtasks with 'todo add'
right away (not held in head, not a replan); clarify the 'small todo edit'
line — add via 'todo add', drop/merge/reorder via 'set' (re-apply statuses).
- renderers/todo.py: TodoStartedRenderer renders the add card
('→ todo · add (N)') listing the new pending steps, not a JSON dump.
Tests: add appends + preserves statuses / requires existing plan / requires
tasks; renderer add card + empty-tasks. Full suite: 1005 passed, 1 skipped.

terminal: session-broadcast sink + lifecycle events (Etap 1)
...
Persistent terminals emitted their stream only into a per-tool-call sink, which
closed once the open action returned — so a background dev server's output
stopped reaching the client immediately after open. TerminalClosed was never
emitted at all (the handler existed, the emitter did not).
Replace the per-tool event_sink with a single callback the orchestrator wires to
the session's WebSocket(s):
- TerminalManager: set_event_callback(cb) + _emit(session_id, event). Reader
tasks and open/close deliver TerminalOutputDelta / TerminalOpened /
TerminalClosed through the callback, which lives for the terminal's (and
session's) lifetime — not the tool call's.
- New TerminalOpened event (terminal_opened: name/description/pid/background).
TerminalClosed now actually emitted from _close_one (explicit/idle/shutdown/
session_ended). Background output keeps streaming after open returns.
- terminal.py: drop the per-tool event_sink from _tm.open (no longer needed).
- orchestrator._on_terminal_event → _notify_session (per-session WS fan-out,
same path recall/mcp updates use). container wires the callback after building
the orchestrator.
- Events imported lazily inside terminal_manager methods to avoid a circular
import (navi.core.events → navi.core.__init__ → agent → registry → navi.tools).
Tests: open emits TerminalOpened; background output streams via the callback
after open returns (gap-3 fix); close emits TerminalClosed; no callback does not
break readers. Existing terminal tests unchanged. Full suite: 968 passed, 1 skipped.
Plan: docs/terminal_tool_plan.md (5 etaps, this is Etap 1).

compressor: target hysteresis — shrink to 65% after compression, not just below the trigger
...
Compression triggered at 90% but left the context just under the trigger, so a
fixed keep_recent (navi_code: 12 turns ≈ 104 messages) re-triggered a couple
of messages later — the context yo-yoed at the trigger line instead of gaining
headroom. Add context_compression_target (0.65): in turn-based (preturn) mode
compress_context shrinks keep_recent until the verbatim kept region fits 65% of
the window, folding the extra turns into the same single summary LLM call; a
safety net in compress_session token-budget-truncates if the kept region alone
still exceeds the target (midturn kept a huge in-flight turn, or the
keep_recent floor can't fit). Trigger 90% → target 65% leaves real headroom.

filesystem: strip trailing newline in _number_diff so diff lines aren't blank-separated
...
_unified_diff (used by edit_lines / smart_edit) feeds difflib with
"line + \n" so difflib does not emit a "\ No newline at end of file" marker.
With lineterm="" difflib keeps that trailing "\n" on content lines, so the
final "\n".join produced "\n\n" between every diff line — a blank line
between each, bloating the model-facing output and rendering with double
spacing in both clients. Strip the trailing "\n" in _number_diff before
processing; no-op for the _diff action, whose lines come from splitlines()
without trailing newlines.

Автономность мелких моделей: OUTPUT DISCIPLINE, milestone-todo, перехват финала хода
...
Два последовательных захода над одной проблемой — мелкие модели (12–30B) в navi_code
теряют автономность на трудных шагах: «остановился поболтать» вместо действия и
слишком большое расстояние между пунктами плана.
Заход 1 (З1–З3):
- З1: OUTPUT DISCIPLINE в системном промпте navi_code — «act, don't announce»,
без few-shot антипримеров. Контракт хода: ответ без tool_calls = конец хода, поэтому
объявление намерения текстом убивает автономность; правила заставляют вызывать
инструмент в том же ходе.
- З2: плоский todo + метка группы milestone + декомпозиция. _parse_plan_steps
возвращает list[tuple[milestone, text]]; milestone — метка группировки (не сущность,
без статуса), «done» вычисляется при рендеринге; подшаги = больше плоских шагов
(без вложенности). TUI side-panel группирует по milestone (плоский фолбэк при пустом
milestone). Plan depth: max 15→20 + правило декомпозиции.
- З3: adaptive re-plan «длинный шаг» — nudge «разбей шаг» при in_progress ≥ порога
итераций без смены todo (порог 4, раньше общего anti-stall warning на 8).
Заход 2 (шаги 1–3, после cloud-теста 31b vs 12b):
Корневая структурная причина: весь спасательный механизм (anti-stall warning с явным
предложением reflect, adaptive re-plan) живёт только внутри tool-цикла — nudge
инжектируется в pre_turn *следующей* итерации, которой при «остановился поболтать»
нет (ход закрылся по return до post_turn). 31b застревала через «продолжаю
tool-итерации» → дожала до warning → спаслась; 12b — через «замолчала текстом» → мимо
всех nudge.
- Шаг 1: перехват финала хода. Если модель выдала bare-text, но в todo есть открытые
шаги (pending/in_progress) и лимит не исчерпан — НЕ эмитить StreamEnd, а сохранить
ассистентский текст в session.context, поставить системный nudge и continue
(без StreamEnd, без workers — консистентно с multi-iteration tool-турами). Счётчик
final_interceptions на AgentTurnContext, лимит final_intercept_limit (default 2),
эскалация жёсткости (мягкий → «second stop»). has_open_steps в todo.py: пустой
todo → False (защита casual-сообщений), failed/skipped терминальны. Профильные
флаги final_intercept_enabled/limit в base.py + loader + admin.
- Шаг 2: жёсткий reflect-триггер в промпте — «~3 tool attempts on the same step
without progress → call reflect IN THIS TURN (tool call, not reasoning aloud)».
- Шаг 3: открыть replan для застревания — «call replan when reflect showed the whole
approach is dead (not one failed step, but the approach itself)».
Тесты: 874 passed, 1 skipped. Новые — has_open_steps (5), final intercept (5),
milestone-группировка, adaptive long-step nudge, парсер шагов с milestone-маркером.
cloud: navi_code model → gemma4:31b-cloud для тестирования догадки (31b признала
застревание, 12b — нет); .env cloud-host уже gitignored.

config: raise context compression threshold 0.70 -> 0.90
...
Midturn compression now splits the in-flight turn correctly, so it's safe to
let the context grow closer to the limit before compressing. 0.90 gives the
model more raw context per turn and trips the compressor less often.
Worker test context_tokens bumped 50_000 -> 60_000 (76% -> 91.5%) to stay
above the new threshold; other compression tests pass the threshold as an
explicit argument and are unaffected.

filesystem: show real file line numbers in unified diffs
...
_number_diff parses @@ hunk headers and prefixes each content line with its
real file line number: removed/context lines use the old (from) number,
added lines use the new (to) number, in `{marker} {num}│ {content}` form
(marker first so existing startswith highlighting stays valid; column
right-aligned to the largest line number). Hunk/file headers and the
`\ No newline` marker are left unchanged.
Applied in _unified_diff (covers edit / edit_lines / smart_edit) and the
`diff` action — a single server-side change, so both the TUI and the web
client receive numbered diffs in the tool result text.
TUI highlight_unified_diff renders the `{marker} {num}│` column dim and the
content in the marker color, so the number reads as meta, not as part of the
added/removed text. Lines without the prefix (standalone `diff` event, older
callers) are still colored whole.

compressor: split in-flight turn in midturn mode + flush incrementally
...
Two related fixes for long autonomous turns in planning profiles (navi_code):
A1 — partition_messages turn-based branch held the in-flight (current) turn
verbatim when turns > keep_recent, so midturn compression was shallow
(e.g. 150 -> 141 messages). Now, when keep_recent_messages is set, the
in-flight turn is split like partition_current_turn_messages: head (user
request) + tail (recent tool steps) kept, middle summarized. The adaptive
swap is disabled in midturn mode (it could move the in-flight turn into
old_turns and summarize the current request whole). First branch
(len(turns) <= keep_recent) is untouched, so locked-in midturn tests hold.
B1 — agent.run_stream had no try/finally around the for-loop, so an
asyncio.CancelledError (server restart/shutdown) unwound the stack with no
flush: all in-memory turn messages (sequence_number < 0) were lost, only the
user message survived. Add incremental save() after planning, after the
assistant tool-call decision, and after each tool result, so a crash loses at
most the single in-flight tool call, not the whole turn. B2 (try/except
safety-net) was dropped: B1 leaves no window where an append is unsaved.
Tests: midturn split with many turns (partition + compress_session), and
crash/cancel persistence via a snapshot session store that mirrors the DB
boundary.

Add a replan tool that re-runs the planner over the live session context

PlanningEngine.run gains is_replan/replan_context (suppresses DIRECT
shortcut and observe-skip, frames Phase 1 as a revision); ReplanRunner
packs reason/goal/todo/findings/errors and captures PlanReady; the tool
is exposed to navi_code/developer/tool_developer via a
current_replan_runner ContextVar set per-iteration in run_stream (correct
after switch_profile). New plan replaces the todo. Lazy events import
breaks the navi.tools -> navi.core -> navi.tools cycle.

recall: carry self-instruction (message) on the recall_update wire
...
The recall card could show call_type/trigger_at but not the self-instruction
(additional_context_message) — it was absent from RecallUpdate.to_wire, so
the user couldn't see what future-self was about to do at the scheduled or
fired moment. Extend the wire payload.
- events.RecallUpdate: add `message` field; to_wire emits "message".
- scheduler._publish_recall_update: accept and forward `message`.
- Publish sites carry message=recall.additional_context_message:
schedule_recall (scheduled) and orchestrator._finalize_recall
(rescheduled / fired / cancelled). manage_recall cancel/skip omit it
(no recall object handy; already visible in the prior scheduled card).
- TUI RecallRenderer: preview the message (first line + "(+N lines)",
capped at 80) on a `msg:` body line when present.
- Tests: RecallUpdate.to_wire carries message (defaults None); renderer
preview (single/multiline/truncate/empty) and scheduled-card renders it.

compression: profile-aware worker + real-token baseline estimator
...
Item 2 — thread the active profile into CompressionWorker so
compress_context applies per-profile overrides (compression_keep_recent,
compression_max_tokens, compression_prompt_file). navi_code now compresses
with keep_recent=12 instead of the global 8.
Item 1 — estimate the next LLM call's context from the *real* prompt_tokens
of the previous call (bulk) plus a heuristic delta for messages appended
since, replacing the chars//3 estimate that undercounts code-heavy tool
output and fired midturn compression too late (Navi kept working until the
window was exhausted). Baseline is recorded after each stream and cleared
after compression; check_context_size and the midturn gate use it, with a
heuristic fallback when no baseline exists or the context shrank.

compression: fix auto-compress no-op on few-huge-messages + honest status
...
Root cause: the compression gate (should_compress) measures tokens, but the
partition measures message/turn count, and CompressionStarted was emitted
before the attempt. For navi_code's "few very large messages" shape (one big
file read = 1 user + assistant + 1 huge tool result, 66k tokens in 3 messages)
the gate fired, the UI showed "compression", but partition returned
to_summarize=[] -> compress_context None -> nothing shrank. The agent kept
going until the window overflowed. It wasn't running "during" compression —
there was no compression, just a no-op the user mistook for one.
A. Per-message head/tail truncation in context_builder.build(): oversized
tool/assistant messages (over context_message_token_budget, 0=num_ctx//6)
are capped head+marker+tail in the LLM view only (model_copy — stored
history and reloads are never affected). A single huge tool result can no
longer alone blow the window; user/system messages are never truncated.
B. Token-budget hard-truncate fallback in compress_session: when partition
no-ops but tokens exceed the threshold, drop oldest turns to num_ctx*0.5.
_hard_truncate is now token-aware (was a fixed message-count floor that
no-oped on <=6 messages even when huge). New would_compress() predicts
compress_session's real outcome with no LLM call.
C. Honest CompressionStarted: _compression_events_midturn/_preturn emit it
only after would_compress() confirms the partition (or token-budget
fallback) can actually shrink the stored context — no more "compression"
status with no ContextCompressed to follow.
Bonus: post-turn CompressionWorker now passes keep_recent_messages=
max(12, context_keep_recent*2), matching the midturn path, so a single long
autonomous turn compresses post-turn too (was always a no-op).
Tests (+14): would_compress agreement, token-budget fallback, token-aware
hard_truncate, build() truncation (preserves user, no mutation, head+tail),
agent no-CompressionStarted-when-nothing-to-compress, worker single-long-turn.

Navi Code: force context compression via typed /compact control message
...
Forced /compact previously sent a chat message, which ran a full agent turn
that only produced summary text instead of running the real context compressor.
Worse, even when wired correctly, forced compact always reported "Nothing to
compact yet — the context is still small" regardless of context size: the typical
navi_code shape is a single long autonomous turn (1 user message + many tool
iterations = one turn), and partition_messages finds nothing to summarize when
turns <= keep_recent. The midturn auto-compress path already bypassed this via
keep_recent_messages (intra-turn split), but compact_stream passed
keep_recent_messages=None, so the fallback was disabled.
Changes:
- WS protocol: {"type":"compact"} control message (distinct from {"type":
"message"}); rejected while an agent turn is active to avoid racing the agent.
- Agent.compact_stream: forced compression that bypasses the token threshold
but still runs the real compressor; passes keep_recent_messages=max(12,
context_keep_recent*2) so a single long turn compresses via intra-turn split
(mirrors midturn auto-compress). Raises NothingToCompactError when context is
genuinely too small.
- Orchestrator.run_compact + clear_run: broadcast agent events to subscribers,
end with done marker, surface NothingToCompactError as an error event.
- Terminal client: ws_client.send accepts str|dict; CompactCommand enqueues
{"type":"compact"}; TUI distinguishes forced compact (no stream_start) from
in-turn auto-compress via the _streaming flag.
- Tests: compact_stream (incl. single-long-turn regression), WS handler
dispatch/rejection, run_compact event/error broadcasting, ws_client send,
compact command.

tui: show the changed step's text in the todo update call card
...
The todo update call card (→ todo · #3 → done) now shows the text of the
step being changed, plus the validation when present. The LLM's update args
carry only the index, not the task text, so the text is read from the
current plan row before the tool runs and attached to ToolStarted.metadata
(client-rendering only, backward-compatible).
Backend:
- events.ToolStarted gains a metadata dict (mirrors ToolEvent) → to_wire.
- navi/tools/todo: step_text_for_update(index, ctx) resolves the step text
via _sid/_uid (so sub-agent isolation holds), started_metadata_for_call
wraps it for both emit sites.
- agent.py (parent) and subagent_runner.py (sub-agent) enrich ToolStarted
via the shared helper before emitting.
Renderer:
- TodoStartedRenderer update card reads msg.metadata.step_text → shows the
step text + validation; falls back to 'no validation' on history replay.
- Removed the step-text line from the result card (it now lives in the call
card) — result card is back to the compact 'plan · X/N done' summary.

Isolate sub-agent todo + render live todo in TUI side panel
...
Phase 1 — sub-agent todo isolation (backend):
- Add current_todo_session_id ContextVar; subagent_runner scopes it to the
sub-agent's ephemeral run id so its auto-populated plan and todo updates
land in an isolated KV row instead of clobbering the parent session's todo
(which the parent's goal-anchoring reads every iteration).
- todo._sid() and planning.set_tasks prefer current_todo_session_id; the
parent run leaves it unset, so all existing todo consumers (anti-stall,
goal anchor, get_progress_message) behave exactly as before.
Phase 2 — live todo in the TUI right column:
- TodoUpdated event + emit it from the agent loop after planning auto-populate
and after each tool-execution turn.
- GET /sessions/{id}/todos reads the parent session's todo KV row (explicit
user_id/session_id, optional injected kv).
- api.get_todos + TodoList/TodoPanel widgets: status-coloured markers
(pending dim, in_progress accent+bold, done success, failed error, skipped
dim), progress header, scrollable panel below the auto-height info block.
- Hybrid delivery: REST seeds the panel on attach/switch, todo_updated WS
events update it live.
Sub-agent todos as nested sub-lists is deferred to a later phase.
