new rows no longer yank the view if the operator is scrolled up.
threshold for 'near bottom' is 48px. when not near bottom, an amber
'↓ N new' pill appears in the bottom-right of the terminal-wrap;
clicking it jumps to bottom. scrolling back near bottom clears the
counter. backfilled (history-replay) rows always scroll to bottom
since the operator hasn't started reading yet.
terminal height is now min(72vh, 60em) instead of a 32em strip — on a
1080p screen that's ~3x more visible lines. body max-width raised
to 110em so a wide window doesn't waste the available width on the
margin.
intercept any line starting with / before sending it to the agent inbox.
two commands today:
- /help — render command list locally
- /clear — wipe the local terminal view (server-side event history kept,
so a page reload restores it)
unknown /xxx surfaces an error row instead of being silently sent. tab
on a /prefix cycles through matching command names. submit-hint
mentions /help so the operator can discover it.
scaffolding for the bigger commands (/compact /cancel /model) is in
place — adding them later is a switch arm plus harness work.
swap the single-line <input> for an auto-growing <textarea>. enter
submits, shift+enter newlines, ime composition respected (skip submit
while isComposing). height caps at ~12em then scrolls. submit-hint
updates to '↵ send · ⇧↵ newline'. async-form handler now also clears
textareas on success.
agent terminal-wrap + dashboard msgflow get a translucent bg with
backdrop-filter blur+saturate so page-bg glow softens behind them.
new rows in the live panel and the dashboard message flow fade in
with a 4px slide-up. unread badge pulses; pending-operator-questions
section pulses its glow. history-backfilled rows skip the animation
(.no-anim) so the page doesn't stagger 100 fade-ins on load.
agent page restructure:
- send form moves into the terminal panel as a prompt-style row beneath
the live tail (status line stays above so it still reads as a header).
- live panel + prompt share a single bordered 'terminal-wrap' box.
- harness-alive / login-state status lines drop their decorative ascii
bookends; just a leading dot/glyph remains.
- banner gradient is now a real css gradient with a shimmer animation
toggled by an .active class. turn_start adds it, turn_end removes it.
dashboard side mirrors this: each broker sse event nudges a 4s
shimmer window.
- dashboard container rows drop their static ▓█▓▒░ / ▒░▒░░ glyph
prefixes; the role chips already disambiguate m1nd vs ag3nt.
- empty-state placeholders drop the ▓ bookends.
terminal pre-fill: hive-ag3nt::events::Bus grows a 500-event ring
buffer; new GET /events/history endpoint returns it. The agent JS
fetches history before opening the SSE stream so opening the page mid-
turn shows the last N events instead of a blank panel. The replay
walks turn_start/turn_end pairs to seed the banner-active state
correctly if a turn was still open.
new mcp tool on the manager surface that queues a question on the
dashboard and returns the question id immediately. operator submits an
answer via /answer-question/<id>; the dashboard fires
HelperEvent::OperatorAnswered { id, question, answer } into the manager
inbox so the next turn picks it up.
also: fix async-form button stuck on spinner after successful submit
(refreshState skipped re-rendering, so the button was never re-enabled).
- tool_use renders per-tool (Read /path, Bash $ cmd, send → operator: ...)
- tool_result with >120 chars collapses into <details>; short ones inline
- session_init / result / rate_limit dropped from the panel
- thinking content shown inline if present, fallback indicator otherwise
- TurnStart carries unread count → header badge "· 3 unread"
- per-tool [status] line dropped from envelope; lives in wake prompt + UI
- send form moved below the live panel
- live panel themed as a terminal (crust bg, inset shadow, monospace)
