Review and tighten all system prompts ...

persona.txt:
- PLANNING: threshold now 'plan has 2+ steps' instead of '2+ tool calls'
- MEMORY: remove mandatory session-start memory_search (was conflicting with
  planning order); replace with contextual trigger rules
- SCRATCHPAD: add 'if you've written anything to it' qualifier before read
- DELEGATION: clarify sequential spawning is fine; tighten when-not-to-spawn

secretary: trim redundant execution discipline, add 'test in code_exec before
writing to disk' rule, profile-specific scratchpad sections

server_admin: add explicit diagnostic workflow (gather → diagnose → act),
profile-specific scratchpad sections, expanded safety and delegation guidance

smart_home: add 'read-before-act' rule (check entity state before modifying),
profile-specific scratchpad sections, tighten safety rules

Strengthen Navi planning/delegation, unify toolsets, isolate subagent scratchpad ...

persona.txt:
- DELEGATION: 'default to spawning, not to doing inline' — stronger default,
  clearer triggers, explicit when-not-to-spawn rules
- PLANNING: ties automatic planning phase to mandatory todo(op='set') as first
  tool call; reconciles pre-loop plan with in-loop execution discipline
- SCRATCHPAD: new section — when to write, section naming conventions,
  mandatory read before final answer

Profiles (secretary, server_admin, smart_home):
- All three now share the same 18-tool set (each file independent)
- planning_enabled=True on all three
- scratchpad and web_search added to smart_home
- System prompts updated with scratchpad/todo execution discipline sections

agent.py run_ephemeral:
- Each subagent gets a unique session ID (subagent_<uuid>) for scratchpad
  isolation — parallel or sequential subagents no longer share working notes

Skip planning phase for simple/direct requests ...

The planning prompt now asks the model to respond with "DIRECT" if the
request doesn't need multiple steps. Added a regex fallback: if the
response has no numbered steps it's also discarded. This prevents plan
cards appearing for conversational replies that would just duplicate
the final message.

Add planning phase and scratchpad tool for smarter task execution ...

- ScratchpadTool: session-scoped working notepad with named sections
  (write/append/read/clear). Lets Navi capture intermediate findings
  between tool calls instead of losing track of them.

- Planning phase: when profile.planning_enabled=True, a fast pre-loop
  LLM call (think=False, no tools) outlines a numbered plan before
  any actions are taken. The plan is injected into session context as
  an assistant message so the model naturally continues from it.

- PlanReady event + plan_ready WebSocket message + plan card in UI
  (green-tinted, collapsible, mirroring thinking card design).

- secretary and server_admin profiles: planning_enabled=True,
  scratchpad added to enabled_tools, system prompts updated with
  explicit execution discipline instructions.

Fix WebSocket state corruption preventing messages after first reply ...

Replace concurrent WS reads (_stream_recv + recv_task.cancel()) with
HTTP stop endpoint (POST /sessions/{id}/stop). Cancelling a background
receive_text() task corrupted Starlette's WS state, breaking all
subsequent receives. Now the WS has a single reader at all times.

Add stop button and fix context compression hang ...

Stop generation:
- Client: send button toggles to red ■ during streaming; sends {type:stop} via WS
- Server: _stream_recv concurrently reads incoming messages during streaming using
  asyncio.wait — stop signal is handled immediately without polling
- Cooperative stop via asyncio.Event (current_stop_event ContextVar): agent breaks
  out of LLM async-for cleanly so aclose() fires → Ollama stream closes gracefully,
  model stays in VRAM. No task.cancel() which would eject the model.
- StreamStopped event propagates through run_stream/run_ephemeral; sub-agents stop
  via the same shared stop_event inherited through task context

Context compression fix:
- compress_context passes think=False to llm.complete() — no extended reasoning
  during summarization which caused GPU hang
- Input truncated to 12k chars before sending to summarizer
- LLMBackend.complete() / OllamaBackend.complete() accept think: bool | None override

Fix save(): persist profile_id to DB ...

profile_id was never included in the UPDATE statement — only set on
initial INSERT. Profile switches appeared to work in-memory but reverted
on page reload or server restart.

Fix profile switch: reload tools/schema after switch_profile tool call ...

switch_profile updates profile_id in DB, but run_stream() held a stale
local session object — the final save would overwrite the change, and
subsequent LLM calls in the same turn still used the old tool schemas.

After each tool-call iteration, compare DB profile_id with the local
session object. On mismatch: update session.profile_id, reload profile,
tools, tool_schemas, and llm backend so the next LLM call gets the
correct schema and the final save preserves the new profile.

Add ssh_exec to secretary profile ...

Was missing, causing 'tool not found' when Navi tried to SSH from secretary mode.

Dynamic system prompt — inject per-call instead of storing in context ...

System prompt is no longer stored in session.context. Instead,
_build_context() prepends the current profile's system prompt fresh on
every LLM call. This means profile switches take effect immediately on
the next message — no stale prompt lingering in stored context.

Also strips any existing system messages from context for migration
safety (old sessions that have one stored will still work).

_with_memory() removed, replaced by _build_context(context, profile, mem).
run_ephemeral() context no longer includes system message either.

Fix ssh_exec error reporting + circular import in switch_profile ...

ssh_exec:
- Non-zero exit status: output (stdout/stderr) now included in error
  field so model can actually see why the command failed
- All error cases: error field now contains human-readable message
  instead of short code (no_target, permission_denied, timeout)
- Named connections from ssh_hosts.json: default known_hosts=none
  same as ad-hoc connections (was missing, caused host key failures)

switch_profile:
- Move ProfileSwitched import inside execute() to break circular
  import: tools.__init__ → switch_profile → core.events → core.agent
  → core.registry → tools

Profile switch: emit WS event so client updates UI immediately ...

ProfileSwitched event emitted by switch_profile tool via current_event_sink.
Client handles profile_switched: updates chat header, profile selector,
and local sessions[] — no page refresh needed.

Add switch_profile tool for automatic profile switching ...

Navi can now switch her own profile mid-session when the task domain
changes. The new profile (tools + system prompt) takes effect from the
next user message. Injected with session_store + profile_registry like
SpawnAgentTool. Added to all profiles' enabled_tools and persona.

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)

Live tool visibility: pending cards, sub-agent step log ...

Backend:
- ToolStarted event: emitted before tool execution begins so client
  can render a pending card with spinner immediately
- ToolEvent gains is_subagent flag; ToolStarted same
- current_event_sink ContextVar in tools/base.py — run_stream() sets it
  to an asyncio.Queue before create_task(); run_ephemeral() reads it and
  puts ToolStarted/ToolEvent into the queue as each sub-agent step runs
- run_stream() tool loop: sequential execution via create_task() +
  polling drain loop (20ms sleep); yields ToolStarted → sub-agent events
  from sink → ToolEvent (completed) for each tool call
- run_ephemeral() rewritten to inline sequential tool execution with
  sink emission (replaces _execute_tool_calls gather)
- _run_single_tool() helper extracted for run_stream()
- websocket.py handles tool_started and adds is_subagent to tool_call

Frontend:
- appendPendingToolCard(): creates card with spinner; spawn_agent opens
  body immediately to show sub-agent log as it fills
- finalizeToolCard(): fills result, removes spinner, adds toggle; strips
  "[Sub-agent result — ...]" reminder prefix from displayed text
- appendSubagentStep() / finalizeSubagentStep(): live step log inside
  spawn_agent card — each sub-agent tool call gets a ↳ row
- app.js: tool_started → pending card; tool_call → finalize card;
  is_subagent routing to sub-step vs main card; abandonStream() resets
  pendingToolCard/pendingSubStep
- CSS: .spinner-inline for card headers; .subagent-log / .subagent-step
  for nested step display; .tool-body-open for always-open spawn_agent
  body; .tool-card.pending suppresses chevron

spawn_agent: fix model behavior — synthesis reminder + lower delegation threshold ...

- ToolResult.output now prefixed with explicit reminder that the user
  cannot see sub-agent output and the orchestrator must present findings
  in its own final response; reminder appears adjacent to the result so
  the model reads it in context
- spawn_agent description updated: lowers threshold from "3+" to "2+"
  tool calls, makes USER CANNOT SEE warning prominent, tightens wording
- persona.txt DELEGATION section: clearer rule (default to spawning for
  multi-step sub-tasks), explicit "never end turn after spawn results",
  removed abstract threshold in favour of concrete examples

Add spawn_agent: sub-agent delegation with isolated context ...

- Agent.run_ephemeral() — runs a sub-agent loop without a persistent
  session; accepts exclude_tools to block recursion; logs start/complete
- session_store made Optional in Agent.__init__ (None for ephemeral runs)
- SpawnAgentTool (navi/tools/spawn_agent.py): spawns an isolated Agent
  for a focused task; resolves profile from parent session via ContextVar;
  blocks spawn_agent recursion via exclude_tools=["spawn_agent"]
- build_default_registries() accepts session_store param; registers
  SpawnAgentTool after BackendRegistry is built (patches _backend_registry)
- deps.py passes _session_store to build_default_registries
- All profiles: spawn_agent added to enabled_tools, max_iterations 10→30
- persona.txt: DELEGATION section — when/how to use spawn_agent

SSH connection pooling: per-session, 20-minute TTL ...

- Pool keyed by session_id:host:port:username — parallel sessions share
  no state even when targeting the same server
- Per-key asyncio.Lock prevents concurrent connection creation races
- TTL (20 min) and is_closing() checked on every access; expired/closed
  connections are evicted and replaced transparently
- On disconnect error during command execution: evict + retry once with
  fresh connection
- current_session_id ContextVar (set by Agent before tool calls) is read
  in ssh_exec to build the pool key without changing tool signatures

Fix naive/aware datetime comparison in session store and memory extraction ...

Old sessions stored datetimes without timezone offset. _row_to_session now
always returns timezone-aware datetimes via _parse_dt() helper, fixing the
TypeError when comparing session.last_active against timezone.utc cutoffs.

Add long-term user memory system ...

Architecture:
- navi/memory/store.py: MemoryStore backed by SQLite (memory_facts,
  memory_summary, session_memory_state tables in navi.db)
- navi/memory/extractor.py: LLM-based fact extraction from sessions +
  summary regeneration (triggered after session goes idle >30 min)
- Fact upsert uses UNIQUE(category, key) — same key always overwrites,
  no duplicates or stale contradictions
- Keyword search across category + key + value (LIKE-based, no extra deps)

Context injection:
- Memory summary injected as an ephemeral system message on every LLM call
  via Agent._with_memory() — never persisted to session.context

Tools (all profiles):
- memory_search(query): keyword search against fact DB; persona instructs
  model to call it at session start and before personal-context questions
- memory_forget(key, category?): delete a specific fact on user request

Extraction trigger:
- On new session creation, fire-and-forget background task checks all
  sessions idle >30 min with unprocessed messages → runs extraction

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.

Add /debug page: inspect LLM context by session ID ...

- GET /sessions/{id}/context — returns session.context (what the model sees)
  with message count and total char count
- /debug — standalone HTML page, session ID from URL hash
  Shows each context message: role badge, full content, tool calls as JSON,
  images as thumbnails, per-message and total char/token estimates

Fix NAVI_PERSONA not loading: move persona to persona.txt ...

python-dotenv cannot parse multi-line env values that contain blank lines or
lines resembling key=value assignments (like the write_tool code examples).
The persona was silently dropped, leaving Navi with no identity.

Solution: navi_persona_file setting (default empty) — if set, the persona is
read from the specified file at startup via a model_validator. The .env now
points to persona.txt instead of embedding the multi-line string.

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
