Add session name generation via LLM
...
Backend:
- Session model gets name: str | None field
- SQLite migration: ADD COLUMN name TEXT
- PostgreSQL: ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS name TEXT (applied on pool init)
- SessionStore: add set_name() abstract method, implemented in all stores
- navi/core/name_generator.py: LLM worker that reads user messages and
returns a 3–6 word title or None if content isn't substantial yet
- POST /sessions/{id}/generate-name endpoint: fires LLM, saves and
returns name; skips if session already named or has no user messages
- GET /sessions and GET /sessions/{id} now include name field
Client:
- api.generateSessionName(id) — calls the new endpoint
- sessions store: updateName(id, name) mutation
- chat store: after stream_end, _tryGenerateName() runs fire-and-forget;
skips silently if session already has a name or if request fails
- SessionItem already displays session.name (falls back to id prefix)

Persist thinking and plan cards across session reloads
...
- Message: add thinking and is_plan fields (display-only, not sent to LLM)
- Agent main loop: accumulate thinking per iteration, save with assistant message
- _run_planning: also append plan to session.messages with is_plan=True so UI
can render plan cards after page reload (context already had the plan)

Move orchestration from persona to profiles; tune per-profile delegation strategy
...
persona.txt now contains only: identity, profile switching, workspace,
response hygiene, memory, and documentation. All orchestration instructions
removed from the global scope.
Each profile gets its own orchestration model:
- secretary: full orchestrator — delegate any 2+ tool-call sub-task to agents,
scratchpad as blackboard, todo for milestone tracking
- server_admin: heavy orchestrator — one agent per host / per concern,
parallel delegation, diagnose-before-act discipline
- developer: builder + research delegation — implementation always inline,
spawn only for large API/codebase research tasks

Restructure profiles: directory-based format with config.json + system_prompt.txt
...
Each profile is now a subdirectory under navi/profiles/ containing:
config.json — model, temperature, enabled_tools, and other settings
system_prompt.txt — raw system prompt, editable without touching Python
Added navi/profiles/loader.py for auto-discovery of profile directories.
Removed individual profile .py files (secretary, server_admin, smart_home, developer).
profiles/__init__.py now simply calls load_profiles_from_dir() at import time.
New profiles can be added by creating a directory with the two required files —
no Python changes needed.

- Add asyncpg>=0.29 to dependencies; add DATABASE_URL / DB_PATH to config
- Add RESPONSE HYGIENE rule to persona: never echo tool output or plan state
- Add developer profile user tools: weather, internal_monitor
- Update README: developer profile, DB section, current tool/profile state

Add developer profile; replace write_tool pattern with direct filesystem approach
...
- New TestToolTool: runs a user tool's execute() from disk in isolation,
returns result or full traceback. No stale module cache — always fresh import.
- New developer profile: full architecture knowledge in system prompt
(format rules, file locations, workflow, data persistence, common mistakes),
test_tool + reload_tools + filesystem/terminal/code_exec toolset, spawn_agent
for API research only.
- Remove write_tool and reload_tools from server_admin and smart_home profiles.
- persona.txt: drop SELF-EXTENSION block; add one-liner to switch to developer
profile when the user asks to create/edit a tool.

Add explicit output token budget for summarizer (context_summary_max_tokens)
...
Previously there was no num_predict set for the summarization LLM call,
so Ollama used its server default (often 128 tokens — very short summaries).
- Add max_tokens param to LLMBackend.complete() and OllamaBackend (→ num_predict)
- Add context_summary_max_tokens: int = 1024 to config
- Thread it through compress_context() and CompressionWorker

Add memory_save tool for proactive fact persistence
...
Navi previously had no way to write to memory mid-conversation — she
could only search and forget. Facts were extracted automatically after
sessions went idle for 30+ min, so important context shared by the user
could be lost or delayed.
- New MemorySaveTool (navi/tools/memory_save.py): upsert a fact by
category/key/value; overwrites existing key so no separate forget needed
- Registered as builtin alongside memory_search/memory_forget
- Added to all three profiles (secretary, server_admin, smart_home)
- persona.txt: explicit "call memory_save immediately when..." guidance
so Navi saves stable facts as they arrive, not only post-session

24h TTL. Cleanup loop only removes orphaned dirs (session gone from DB).

a clickable download URL. Navi can call this after generating any file
the user will want to keep.
New GET /sessions/{id}/files/{filename} endpoint serves files with
correct Content-Disposition (inline for images/HTML/PDF, attachment
for everything else).
Added PUBLIC_URL config key for building correct download links behind
reverse proxies.

Fix LLM hang: stop button during prefill, context guard, timeouts
...
Root cause: during prefill (processing input tokens), Ollama emits no
HTTP chunks. The `async for chunk in stream_complete()` loop body never
executes, so stop_event is never checked — Stop button has no effect.
Same issue with complete() calls (planning, compression): blocking await
with no cancellation path.
Fixes:
_iter_stream_guarded() (agent.py, module-level):
Wraps any stream_complete() generator. Polls stop_event every 1s while
waiting for the next chunk using asyncio.wait() — so Stop works even
during multi-minute prefill. On stop or timeout, calls aclose() on the
generator which closes the HTTP connection to Ollama → generation halts
→ GPU drops to idle. Applied to both run_stream() and run_ephemeral().
_check_context_size() (Agent method):
Estimates context tokens (chars/4 + 500 per image) before every LLM
call. Raises ContextTooLargeError (new NaviError subclass) at 92% of
ollama_num_ctx — before Ollama ever receives the request.
_run_planning() timeouts:
Both complete() calls (phase 1 and 2) wrapped with asyncio.wait_for().
Timeout logged and planning skipped gracefully — execution continues.
New config (config.py):
llm_complete_timeout = 120s
llm_stream_first_chunk_timeout = 180s (prefill budget)
llm_stream_chunk_timeout = 60s (inter-token budget)

Improve planning: two-phase pipeline and orchestrator discipline
...
agent.py:
- _run_planning() now runs two sequential LLM calls:
Phase 1 (analysis): reformulate task, identify subtasks and unknowns;
skip immediately if DIRECT.
Phase 2 (execution plan): assign each subtask an executor —
TOOL/AGENT/SELF — using a structured ## Plan format.
Phase 2 context = analysis (embedded in system prompt) + last user
message only; full history excluded to keep focus on plan structure.
- Warn in logs when plan lacks TOOL/AGENT/SELF executor assignments.
persona.txt:
- MANDATORY sequence: step 0 = scratchpad init before anything else;
todo tasks must mirror plan steps exactly (same order, same executors).
- PLAN → EXECUTION BINDING: explicit rule — never switch an AGENT step
to inline execution silently.
- SCRATCHPAD: initialize sections at task start, not after first tool call;
write context to scratchpad before briefing subagents.
- Fix typo in BRIEFING ("sub-lagent" → "sub-agent").
- Replace stale Knowledge Retrieval Protocol with accurate one-liner.

writing to disk' rule, profile-specific scratchpad sections
server_admin: add explicit diagnostic workflow (gather → diagnose → act),

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

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
