Add web_view tool: headless browser with text extraction and screenshot
...
- New built-in tool web_view: opens URL in headless Chromium via Playwright,
strips nav/footer/scripts, returns clean readable text (capped at 20k chars).
Optional screenshot=true returns a PNG injected into context as an image.
Handles JS-rendered pages and SPAs (waits for networkidle by default).
- http_request description updated: explicitly says to use web_view for human-
readable pages, http_request for APIs/JSON/custom auth.
- web_view added to all three profiles.

Fix context loss: ensure system prompt is always present in LLM context
...
Replaced `if not session.context:` with a role-based check so the system
message is inserted whenever it is absent — not just for brand-new sessions.
Root cause: backward-compat sessions (context column was empty) had their
context initialised from session.messages, which never contains a system
message. The old check (`if not session.context:`) saw a non-empty list and
skipped the system prompt, so every subsequent request ran without it —
Navi had no persona and no profile instructions.
Also add context_token_count field to Session (follow-up for token counter
fix — persistence wiring comes in next commit).

Review fixes: events module, circular imports, deps, vision-aware compression
...
- Extract all AgentEvent dataclasses to navi/core/events.py; import from
there in agent.py and __init__.py — eliminates circular import between
workers and core
- workers/compressor.py: remove runtime import hack, use navi.core.events
- workers/base.py: WorkerResult.events typed as list[AgentEvent] (was Any)
- api/deps.py: replace @lru_cache on mutable list with module-level
singletons (_registries, _workers)
- core/compressor.py: _format_for_summary returns (text, images); images
passed to summarization LLM so vision models describe them in summary;
non-vision models silently ignore the images field; docstring updated
- client/js/app.js: add comment explaining is_summary backward compat branch

Separate display history from LLM context; formalize worker system
...
Architecture change:
- session.messages: full display history, never modified by compression
- session.context: what the LLM sees, may be compressed by workers
- System messages go only into context (not display history)
- Image injections (synthetic) go only into context
- User/assistant/tool messages go into both
SQLite: add context column with backward-compat migration
(empty context → initialized from messages on load)
Workers (navi/workers/):
- Worker ABC + WorkerContext + WorkerResult (base.py)
- CompressionWorker: compresses session.context when above threshold
- build_default_workers() returns [CompressionWorker()]
- Agent accepts workers list, runs them after StreamEnd
- Workers injected via deps.py get_workers() (lru_cached singleton)
- WebSocket agent construction also receives workers
Compressor: compress_context() now takes context[], not messages[]
Config: context_keep_recent 6 → 10
Agent: _run_workers() collects events from all workers and yields them

Add context compression: rolling summarization when context fills up
...
Mechanism:
- After streaming ends, if context_tokens >= threshold (80% of num_ctx),
compress old turns into a summary message using the same LLM
- Partition: keep system msg + last N turns verbatim (default 6);
everything older goes to the summarizer
- Tool call groups (assistant + tool results) never split across boundary
- Existing summary messages folded into new compression pass — no stack growth
- Summary stored as Message(role=user, is_summary=True) after system msg
- On failure: logged, session left unchanged (non-fatal)
New files:
- navi/core/compressor.py: should_compress, partition_messages,
compress_session (pure logic, testable without agent)
New config (navi/config.py):
- context_compression_enabled: bool = True
- context_compression_threshold: float = 0.80
- context_keep_recent: int = 6
- context_summary_temperature: float = 0.3
New agent event: ContextCompressed(messages_before, messages_after)
Message.is_summary: bool field marks compressed history blocks
Client:
- context_compressed WS event → subtle inline notice in message list
- loadHistory: is_summary messages rendered as collapsible summary cards
- style.css: .summary-card, .compression-notice

Add context token counter: 64k default, live UI display
...
- config: ollama_num_ctx default 8192 → 65536
- LLMChunk: add prompt_tokens / completion_tokens fields
- OllamaBackend.stream: populate token counts from final chunk
(prompt_eval_count + eval_count when chunk.done)
- StreamEnd: add context_tokens and max_context_tokens
- Agent.run_stream: capture token counts, pass to StreamEnd
- websocket: include context_tokens / max_context_tokens in stream_end
- index.html: split chat-header into title span + token-counter span
- sidebar.js: updateChatHeader targets #chat-header-title, not innerHTML
- app.js: updateTokenCounter() shows "X/Y (Z%) tokens", colors:
gray <50%, amber 50–79%, red ≥80%
- style.css: .token-counter, .warn, .danger styles

Server review fixes: profile model routing, sorting, datetime, cleanup
...
- LLMBackend.complete/stream: add model param; OllamaBackend uses it
over self.model, enabling per-profile model selection
- BackendRegistry.get(): remove unused model param
- Agent: pass profile.model to complete() and stream()
- Profiles: correct model to gemma4:e2b-it-q8_0 (was leftover e4b)
- InMemorySessionStore.list_all(): fix sort (pinned+newest first,
was pinned+oldest) — now consistent with SQLite ORDER BY
- session.py, sqlite_session_store.py: datetime.utcnow() →
datetime.now(timezone.utc) (deprecated since Python 3.12)
- _base_options(): accept temperature param, remove dead default
- deps.py: rename _registries → get_registries (public API)
- websocket.py: update import accordingly

Add self-extension tool system: write_tool, list_tools, tool_manual
...
- loader.py: module-level format (name/description/parameters/execute)
preferred, class-based as fallback; isolated errors per file
- write_tool: validates + writes tools/name.py, reloads registry,
adds to tools/enabled.json in one call
- list_tools: live tool list from registry (prevents hallucination)
- tool_manual: serves manuals/*.md or auto-generates from schema
- reload_tools: hot-reload without server restart
- registry: registry injection pattern for tools that need it;
_builtin_names set to guard against reload overwriting builtins

Add thinking/reasoning streaming support
...
Enable Ollama think param and stream reasoning chunks to client.
New agent events: ThinkingDelta, ThinkingEnd. Config gains ollama_think
and ollama_num_ctx settings. WebSocket protocol updated accordingly.

Add multimodal image support and client UX improvements
...
Server:
- Add ImageViewTool (load image from file/URL, returns base64)
- Add images field to Message model with created_at timestamp
- Agent run/run_stream accept images param; inject image messages after image_view tool calls
- WebSocket handler accepts images array from client, strips data URI prefix
- All profiles include image_view tool
- Fix tool call serialization (model_dump mode=json for datetime)
- Add no-store cache headers for static files
Client:
- Image attachment: file picker button + clipboard paste + preview strip with remove
- Images rendered in chat bubbles; loaded from history
- Tool cards rebuilt as div+CSS toggle (fixes details/overflow-hidden collapse bug)
- Tool cards appear before response bubble (lazy bubble creation on first stream_delta)
- Typing indicator persists through tool calls, removed only when text starts streaming
- Tool cards restored from history on page reload
- Message timestamps stored via created_at field, shown correctly in history
- Session ID reflected in URL hash for bookmarking; restored on page load
- Remove localStorage session tracking (server last_active used instead)

Pin sessions + larger code font
...
Server:
- Session.pinned field (bool, default False)
- SqliteSessionStore: ALTER TABLE migration for existing DBs, set_pinned(),
ORDER BY pinned DESC, last_active DESC
- PATCH /sessions/{id}/pin endpoint
Client:
- Pin/unpin button appears on hover (📌/📍)
- Pinned sessions get blue left border and always-visible pin icon
- Local sort mirrors server sort (pinned first)
- Code blocks font-size bumped from 0.82em to 0.9em

Persistent sessions and client module refactor
...
Server:
- SqliteSessionStore replaces InMemorySessionStore as default backend
- Sessions survive server restarts (stored in navi.db)
- DB_PATH configurable via .env
Client:
- Split monolithic app.js into ES modules:
js/api.js — REST calls
js/ws.js — WebSocket wrapper (WsClient class)
js/chat.js — message area DOM helpers
js/sidebar.js — session list and header helpers
js/app.js — state, wiring, boot
- Active session persisted in localStorage — restored on page reload
