new POST /api/compact on the per-agent web UI: spawns
turn::compact_session in the background so the http handler returns
immediately. claude runs '/compact' over the persistent --continue
session; output streams into the live panel like any other turn.
slash command /compact wired to the new endpoint. SLASH_COMMANDS list
now lists all four (/help /clear /cancel /compact). postCancelTurn +
postCompact share a postSimple() helper.
deliberately not gated against an in-flight turn — claude's own
session lock will reject a concurrent compact and the failure
surfaces as a Note in the live panel.
new POST /api/cancel on the per-agent web UI: shells out
pkill -INT claude (procps added to harness-base.nix). emits a Note
on the bus so the operator sees the cancel landed; state goes back
to idle when run_claude wakes and emits TurnEnd as usual.
frontend:
- /cancel slash command in the terminal input
- ■ cancel turn button in the state row, visible only while
state === 'thinking' (driven from the same SSE-based state
machine). disabled briefly during the POST.
claude gets SIGINT (not TERM) so it flushes anything in-flight and
emits a final result row before exiting.
new badge between the status line and the terminal. shows current
state with a glyph + label + age suffix (e.g. '🧠 thinking · 12s').
state transitions are driven from existing SSE turn_start/turn_end —
no harness changes needed. on page load, history backfill detects an
in-flight turn (turn_start without matching turn_end) and starts in
thinking. state-just-changed flash kicks in on each transition. age
timer ticks client-side every 1s.
compacting/napping states will be added when /compact and nap land —
their slots are reserved in the state enum, just unused for now.
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.
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)
