Sibling to ensure_core_avatar (#320). Same one-shot marker-guarded
upload pattern, this time aimed at the Forgejo per-org avatar
endpoint (`POST /api/v1/orgs/{org}/avatar`).
## SVG-to-PNG at build time
Mara: *don't check in the png. instead generate png on the fly or
in build.*
`hive-c0re/build.rs` renders `branding/agent-configs.svg` →
`$OUT_DIR/agent-configs.png` via `rsvg-convert` (librsvg) on every
compile; `forge.rs` then `include_bytes!`s the OUT_DIR PNG. The
raster never gets checked into git — SVG stays source of truth,
the PNG is a build artifact.
- `hive-c0re/Cargo.toml`: declares `build = "build.rs"`
- `flake.nix`: adds `librsvg` to `naersk-lib.buildPackage`
`nativeBuildInputs` (covers both the runtime package and the
clippy check derivation) and to the dev shell so local
`cargo build` finds `rsvg-convert` on PATH.
- For dev builds outside Nix, install librsvg (Debian:
`librsvg2-bin`, macOS: `brew install librsvg`).
## Icon design
Sibling visual to the main hyperhive mark — same dark base + outer
ring + corner-bracket frame so the family reads at a glance. Centre
swaps the hexagonal hive for a stacked-config-files motif: three
offset sheets, folded-corner affordance, curly-brace `{ }` glyph
telegraphing "config file."
Brace font-size dropped 78→56 + letter-spacing -3 (#424 mara:
"braces cross the boundaries of the page") so the glyphs sit
comfortably inside the 120-wide front sheet with clear breathing
room on the left/right edges. The stack is shifted so the front
sheet centres on canvas-(150, 150); brace text anchors there with
`dominant-baseline=central` for true vertical centring.
## Validation
- `cargo check` clean (only pre-existing warnings).
- One-shot marker honoured: re-runs of `ensure_all` skip after the
first success; `rm /var/lib/hyperhive/forge-agent-configs-avatar-set`
forces re-upload (useful for icon revisions).
- Behaviour mirrors the existing `ensure_core_avatar` pattern.
Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container.
Worth eyeballing post-deploy: `http://localhost:3000/agent-configs`
should show the new avatar where the default identicon used to be.
per mara's review on #433, move the gating from the dashboard into
the host so a stopped container's stale on-disk state (rate_limited
sentinel, hyperhive-needs-login, last-turn-stats row, status blob)
never reaches the wire in the first place. when build_all sees
is_running == false:
- needs_login → false
- ctx_tokens / context_window_tokens → None
- rate_limited → false
- status_text / status_set_at → None
static / declared fields (extra_links, deployed_sha,
pending_reminders, needs_update, parent) stay populated regardless
of run state.
extend AgentMeta (both AgentResponse + ManagerResponse) with a
`running: bool` field so get_agent_meta callers can tell whether
the target is up — answers the second half of #432 ("agent meta
should probably show the info that it is not running as well").
read_agent_status_live wraps the existing read_agent_status with
the same is_running gate so the manager/agent socket handlers don't
have to know about sentinel semantics.
format_agent_meta now prints a `running: yes|no` line so claude
sees the run state in plain text alongside hyperhive_rev.
frontend follow-up in the same commit: drop the redundant
`c.running &&` guards on ctx_tokens / status_text in
renderContainers — the backend now guarantees those fields are
absent when the container is stopped, so the existing
truthy-check is sufficient. the `■ not running` badge + icon /
links fetch short-circuits stay (those are pure presentation /
network-noise wins the backend can't address).
Mara: *don't show agent status if container is shut down. agent
meta should probably show the info that it is not running as well*.
When `c.running` is false the harness isn't there to report state,
but the dashboard kept rendering everything that depends on it —
alive-badge, rate-limited / needs-login chips, ctx token chip,
self-reported status text, the nav-strip fetched from
`/api/agent/{name}/links`. All of it goes stale the moment the
container shuts down; the operator sees data that hasn't been true
for hours.
Two changes in `renderContainers`:
1. Replace the live-only badge chain with a single
`■ not running` muted badge when stopped. Pending transients
still win (a start / stop in flight gets the spinner). Static
info — needs-update, `container :port` meta, `deployed:sha`,
pending-reminder count — stays visible regardless of running
state.
2. Skip the nav-strip fetch + the self-reported status text on
stopped containers. The fetch would fail anyway (container
web server is down); the status text was last set when the
harness was alive and isn't current.
Also short-circuit the agent-icon img: skip the doomed `${url}icon`
request and go straight to the dimmed `/favicon.svg` fallback.
Avoids a noisy failed request in the console + the brief
broken-image flash.
No CSS changes — reuses the existing `.badge-muted` style.
Mara: *can we make this really fast to not be a problem? like its
okay if it is pretty fast*.
`scrollTo({ behavior: 'smooth' })` runs ~500ms in Chromium/Firefox
— "still smooth, but visibly slow." Swap it for a custom rAF loop
with an ease-out cubic over 140ms. Distances under 24px short-
circuit to instant — animating a 12px nudge is just jitter.
Each call cancels the previous rAF before starting a new one, so a
burst of mutations coalesces into one ride to the latest bottom
instead of two animations fighting over scrollTop.
Re-reads `scrollHeight - clientHeight` each frame so a renderer
mutation landing mid-animation (the common case — `api.row`
returned, then renderer appended badge + body) extends the
destination smoothly rather than landing short.
`smoothScrollingUntil` gate shrinks accordingly (140 + 80 = 220ms)
— still protects the scroll handler from flipping stickToBottom
on the intermediate scroll events the rAF fires.
Mara: "New scroll down behavior works, but jumps instead of scroll."
The autoscroll path in `afterAppend` + the MutationObserver re-snap
+ the tail-pill click handler all set `log.scrollTop = log.scrollHeight`
— instant jump. Reads as jerky on long mutations where the row
height grew a lot between the initial append and the body fill.
Switch to `log.scrollTo({ top: log.scrollHeight, behavior: 'smooth' })`
via a new `snapToBottom()` helper. All three call sites (afterAppend,
MO callback, pill click) route through it.
## Smooth-scroll vs `stickToBottom` flicker
`behavior: 'smooth'` fires a stream of scroll events as the position
eases toward the target. Without guarding, the scroll handler reads
the intermediate position, fails `isNearBottom()`, flips
`stickToBottom` to false — the next MO callback then skips the snap
and strands the operator mid-scroll.
Add a `smoothScrollingUntil` timestamp gate: every `snapToBottom()`
call (without `immediate`) re-arms it to `now + 800ms` (~Chromium /
Firefox smooth-scroll animation duration + headroom). The scroll
handler ignores events while the gate is active. Bursts of writes
coalesce into one smooth ride to the latest bottom rather than a
sequence of half-cancelled animations.
## Backfill replay
`currentNoAnim` is true during history backfill — the operator never
sees the intermediate positions there, so smooth scroll is just
wasted animation. `snapToBottom(immediate=true)` (and the noAnim
branch in afterAppend) falls back to instant scroll for that path.
Same shared `@hive/shared/terminal.js` is used by the dashboard +
per-agent terminal + flow page; all three inherit the change.
Mara: remove the 90em max-width so the dashboard fills wide
screens instead of boxing content into a centred column with
empty margins. `padding: 0 1.5em 1.5em` stays as the small
edge-of-viewport gutter; `.dashboard-chrome { margin: 0 -1.5em
... }` continues to pull the sticky chrome bar edge-to-edge
through that gutter.
Pre-step-2, the SSE subscription on /index.html was conditionally
created by the broker-terminal IIFE that only ran on /flow.html
(via the `if (!flow || !window.HiveTerminal) return;` guard) — so
the dashboard only updated on cold load + after async-form submits.
The split in step 2 made the gap more obvious; close it.
Bare `EventSource` (the dashboard doesn't render broker rows, so
none of the HiveTerminal infrastructure is wanted here). Each
event's `kind` looks up against a `MUTATION_HANDLERS` table that
fans out to the existing `applyXxx` handlers. Unknown kinds (broker
`sent` / `delivered`, anything the backend adds later) silently
no-op. On (re)connect we kick `refreshState()` to recover events
lost during the disconnect window — same pattern as flow.js's
`onStreamOpen`. EventSource handles auto-reconnect.
#408 will give /index.html its own stream that omits broker
traffic; for now both pages subscribe to `/dashboard/stream` and
filter client-side.
Closes the #406 architectural roadmap:
- step 1 (#410): common.js extraction ✓
- step 2 (#412): split into app.js + flow.js entry points ✓
- step 3 (this PR): /index.html re-acquires its SSE subscription
Two regressions from #394 that landed once mara deployed:
1. **Icon way too big** — `.agent-icon { height: 100%; aspect-ratio: 1 }`
sized off the parent's height. With `align-items: stretch` on the
header and `min-height: 6em`, the `<img>`'s intrinsic dimensions
fed back into the flex container's height calculation and pushed
the header (and the icon stretched to fill it) far past 6em — the
icon ended up dominating the page.
Switch to explicit `width: 5em; height: 5em` (header content area
= 6em min-h - 2 × 0.5em padding). `align-self: flex-start` so a
state-row wrap doesn't drag the icon down with it.
2. **Overflow menu always visible** — `.overflow-menu { display: flex }`
in author CSS overrode the `[hidden]` UA rule (`[hidden]
{ display: none }` has the same specificity). With nothing hiding
it, the menu rendered at viewport 0,0 by default (no top/left set
on the popover until JS opens it), so the operator saw `↑ dashboard
/ ↻ rebuild container / ↻ new claude session` stacked at the
top-left of every page load.
Split the rule: `.overflow-menu` keeps the chrome (frosted bg,
position fixed, z-index, border, padding); `.overflow-menu:not([hidden])`
carries `display: flex`. Now `[hidden]` wins when set, no menu
shown until the trigger opens it.
agent.css 22.4kb → 22.5kb.
Per @argus on PR #412: after the common.js step (#410)
`appendText` uses the direct `termLinkify` import and `termCreate`
is called directly in flow.js — nothing reads `window.HiveTerminal`
anywhere. Drop the line + the stale comment alongside.
Splits the single bundle into two: `app.js` (entry for /index.html —
tab renderers + tab routing + refreshState) and a new `flow.js`
(entry for /flow.html — operator inbox derived store + inbox pill
flyout + broker terminal + @-mention composer). Both bundles inline
`./common.js` (DOM helpers, Panel, NOTIF, path linkification).
## What `flow.js` owns
- Operator inbox derived store (`operatorInbox`, `INBOX_LIMIT`,
`inboxAppendFromEvent`, `buildInboxListNode`, `renderInbox`) +
inbox-pill click wiring
- Broker terminal init (`HiveTerminal.create({ logEl: msgflow, ... })`)
with `renderMsg`, `pulseBanner`, `msgRowMap` reply-thread indicator,
and the renderers map for `sent` / `delivered` broker rows
- @-mention composer (`#op-compose-input` IIFE — sticky recipient,
autocomplete, parseAddressed, /op-send POST)
- A small local `flowContainers` cache for the composer's
autocomplete, refreshed on cold load + on every SSE reconnect via
`onStreamOpen`, and live-updated by `container_state_changed` /
`container_removed` SSE events (the dashboard's `containersState`
lives in `app.js` and isn't available here)
## What `app.js` no longer does
- Drops the inbox derived store, the bindFlowInboxPill IIFE, the
broker-terminal IIFE, and the composer IIFE — all moved
- Drops the `renderInbox()` call in `refreshState` (dashboard has
no #inbox-section element)
- Drops `setTabCount('flow', operatorInbox.length)` — the FL0W tab
count lives in flow.js now (cross-page count broadcasting is a
future follow-up; the slot currently stays hidden on /index.html)
- Drops the `window.HiveTerminal` global — the bare-import pattern
in common.js / flow.js made it unused on the dashboard
## What changes for /flow.html
- `<script src>` switches from `/static/app.js` → `/static/flow.js`
- Mutation events on the dashboard stream (`approval_added`,
`container_state_changed`, etc.) are silently ignored on /flow.html
via a `_default: () => {}` renderer (the dashboard tabs aren't on
this page; firing the legacy applyXxx handlers from here just
mutated dead stores). #408 follow-up filters this at the SSE level
## Validation
- `npm run build` clean.
- Bundle deltas:
- `app.js`: 154kb → 135kb (dropped ~19kb of flow code)
- `flow.js`: NEW 29kb (was bundled into the old 154kb app.js)
- `flow.html` page total: 154kb → 29kb (flow.js + inlined common,
no tab renderers shipped)
- Source: `app.js` 2287 → 1907 lines (-380); `flow.js` 423 lines (new)
- No HTML / CSS changes besides the `<script src>` swap on /flow.html.
## Known limitations (out of scope; tracked separately)
- /index.html still has no live SSE subscription — the dashboard
updates only on cold load + after async-form submits. Pre-existing
behaviour; the SSE wiring also lived in the flow IIFE before.
Step 3 of #406 (or its own bug fix) re-wires it.
- /flow.html's `_default: noop` drops mutation events; #408 fixes
the duplicate-traffic by splitting the SSE endpoint server-side.
- The FL0W tab-strip count pill on /index.html stays hidden — the
count source is now in flow.js. Broadcast via localStorage /
BroadcastChannel is a small follow-up if both pages are open.
Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container.
Worth eyeballing post-deploy:
- /flow.html: terminal renders broker rows; inbox pill shows count
+ opens flyout; composer autocomplete suggests known agents
+ sends successfully
- /index.html: tab renderers all work; notification toggle still
binds; side panel still opens for diffs / file previews / logs
First slice of the app.js split (#406). Pure utility / infrastructure
code that both /index.html and /flow.html use lifts out of the IIFE
into a sibling ES module:
- DOM helpers: `$`, `el`, `esc`, `form`, `fmtAgeSecs`
- Side-panel singleton (`Panel.open` / `openNamed` / `refresh` /
`close` / `bind`). The `ensure()` lazy-init makes it tolerate
being imported before the DOM element exists — `bind()` still
needs to be called once the host page is ready.
- Path linkification + file-preview side panel:
`appendLinkified`, `appendText`, `makePathLink`, plus the
internal `openFilePanel` + `fetchStateFile` + `mdNode` /
`svgImage` / `buildTabbedPreview` it depends on.
- Browser-notification module `NOTIF` (`bind`, `show`,
`renderControls`).
`app.js` now imports these from `./common.js` and the duplicated
definitions are gone. Each removal is replaced by a one-line
breadcrumb comment so a reader chasing a name from the bundled
output can find where it landed.
`truncate`, `fmtAgo`, `fmtElapsed`, `fmtDuration` stay in app.js for
now — each has caller-specific phrasing ("X running", "X ago") that
doesn't generalise cleanly. Lift them when a second consumer needs
the same shape.
## Next steps (separate PRs)
- Step 2: split app.js into `tabs.js` (entry for /index.html — tab
renderers + tab routing + refreshState) and `flow.js` (entry for
/flow.html — broker terminal + inbox derived store + compose),
both importing from common.js. Updates `build.mjs` for multiple
entry points and switches each HTML file's `<script src>`.
- Step 3 (#408 follow-up): backend-side stream split so /flow.html
doesn't have to subscribe to the dashboard's mutation events at all.
## Validation
- `npm run build` clean.
- Build deltas: `app.js` 154.3kb (was 153.6kb) — bundle size bumped
slightly due to per-module overhead; same code under the hood.
Source: app.js 2603 → 2287 lines (-316); common.js 367 lines (new).
- No HTML / CSS changes. Both pages still load `/static/app.js` as
before.
Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container.
Worth eyeballing post-deploy:
- Notification toggle + send still works (NOTIF.bind, NOTIF.show)
- Side panel still opens for diff / file preview / logs (Panel)
- Path tokens in messages still render as clickable anchors that
open the file in the side panel (appendLinkified → makePathLink
→ openFilePanel)
PR #392 moved the slug below the tab strip but kept it INSIDE the
sticky chrome — Mara's report ("still at old position everywhere
except flow tab") makes the original intent clearer: the slug
should be at the page BOTTOM, with the chrome reduced to pure
navigation.
## index.html
- Remove the banner-thin from `.dashboard-chrome` entirely.
- Move it into the existing `<footer>` element (above the divider
+ project-link line). Sits at the bottom of every tab pane after
the main content scrolls past.
## flow.html
- Remove the banner-thin from the chrome. The flow page is a
full-viewport terminal with `body { overflow: hidden }` and
no normal-flow footer position — the slug simply doesn't appear
here. The frosted chrome is purely the tab strip now.
## dashboard.css
- `--flow-header-h: 4.7em → 3.6em` — chrome is shorter without
the banner; terminal padding-top + tail-pill offset + inbox-pill
top all derive from this variable, so they follow automatically.
- `footer .banner-thin { margin-bottom: 0.8em }` so the slug
doesn't crash into the divider + link line below it.
No JS changes. Build clean.
Mara hit:
TypeError: can't access property "innerHTML", root is null
renderContainers app.js:666
applyContainerStateChanged app.js:484
container_state_changed app.js:2306
…on /flow.html. The same bundled `app.js` runs on both /index.html
(dashboard, has the tab panes) and /flow.html (flow page, has only
the broker terminal). SSE events arrive on every page —
`container_state_changed` / `tombstones_changed` / `approval_*` /
`question_*` route through their corresponding renderers, which
then `root.innerHTML = ''` on `$('section-id')` and crash when the
section isn't in the DOM.
The convention is already "no-op when the target DOM doesn't
exist" — `renderMetaInputs`, `renderRebuildQueue`, `renderReminders`
all guard with `if (!root) return;` at the top. Bring the rest in
line:
- `renderContainers`
- `renderTombstones`
- `renderQuestions`
- `renderApprovals`
`renderInbox` already handles the absent case via its
`if (root && !root.hidden)` branch — no change.
No behaviour change on /index.html. On /flow.html the failing
events silently no-op as intended (terminal renderers still
re-render the broker tail normally).
After moving `↑ DASHB04RD` / `↻ R3BU1LD` / `↻ new session` into
the overflow `⋯` menu in #394, the per-button rules in agent.css
have no live consumer:
- `.btn-dashlink` (cyan back-link chip)
- `.btn-rebuild` (amber rebuild chip — note: the dashboard has
its own `.btn-rebuild` for the per-row R3BU1LD form on the
SW4RM tab, that stays)
- `.btn-new-session` (amber round-pill button)
- `.btn-send` (green send-button variant — orphaned since an
earlier compose-form retirement, swept here)
Plus a comment-only `#state-row` block (layout fully provided by
the renamed `.agent-state-row` / `.agent-header-row` classes).
Each removed block is replaced with a one-line "moved to overflow"
comment so future readers don't reintroduce the old chrome by
mistake.
agent.css 23.6kb → 22.4kb.
Operator brief (#394): the header had thirteen distinct visual
elements in one flex row with three different border-radius
languages, four colour treatments, three label styles. Mara's
direction:
- agent icon bigger (full header height) as the identity anchor
- title glow stays
- nav links lose their default-anchor underline
- overflow `⋯` absorbs `↻ R3BU1LD` + `↻ new session` (rare,
destructive — both worth one extra click; rebuild is normally
done from the dashboard)
- accent stacking in the state strip stays — that's the vibe
## Layout shape
Three flex columns in `.agent-header`:
[icon · full height] [main column · 2 rows] [pills + ⋯]
The main column carries row 1 (`◆ AGENT ◆` title + meta-nav) on
top and row 2 (alive · state · model · ctx · cost · last-turn ·
cancel-turn) below.
## Changes
### `index.html`
- Wrap title + nav in `.agent-header-row .agent-header-title-row`;
wrap state-row siblings in `.agent-header-row .agent-state-row`;
both go inside a new `.agent-header-main` column.
- Right cluster `.agent-header-pills` contains the inbox + loose
pills + a new `<button id="overflow-btn">⋯</button>` trigger.
- Drop static `#new-session-btn` from `#state-row` — moved into the
overflow menu, populated dynamically.
- Add `<div id="overflow-menu" role="menu" hidden>` as a sibling
of `<header>` (lives outside the header so its `position: fixed`
popover isn't trapped by any header stacking context).
### `agent.css`
- `--agent-header-h: 4.6em → 6em` so the icon can be square + full
height without crowding the two-row main column. Terminal
padding-top + status overlay top + tail-pill all derive from
this variable, so they follow automatically.
- `.agent-header { align-items: stretch }` lets the icon stretch
to full height; `.agent-icon { height: 100%; aspect-ratio: 1 }`
sizes it as a square off the stretched height.
- `.agent-nav-link` rule added — `text-decoration: none`, cyan +
soft glow, hover lights brighter (mara's spec).
- `.overflow-btn` (round trigger) + `.overflow-menu` (frosted
popover, fixed-position) + `.overflow-item` (rows with an icon
column + label, hover ink matches per-action accent — cyan for
dashboard, amber for rebuild/new-session).
- Remove the old `#state-row` selector (layout now provided by
`.agent-state-row` + `.agent-header-row`).
### `app.js`
- `setHeader` no longer appends DASHB04RD / R3BU1LD chips into the
title — title is just the identity glyph now. Both actions get
rendered into the overflow menu by `populateOverflowMenu()`.
- `populateOverflowMenu(label, dashUrl)` builds three rows:
`↑ dashboard` (anchor), `↻ rebuild container` (button — same
POST-form action as before), `↻ new claude session` (button —
same `/api/new-session` call as the legacy header button).
- Overflow toggle / outside-click / Escape dismissal — same
pattern as the side-panel flyout (`Panel`).
- Drop the static `new-session-btn` IIFE binder; the dynamically-
rendered menu item owns its handler now.
- Drop the per-nav-link inline `marginLeft` (layout gap comes from
the new `.agent-nav { gap }` rule).
## Validation
- `npm run build` clean.
- Build deltas: agent.css 21.0kb → 23.6kb (overflow + nav rules
+ comments), app.js 117.4kb → 118.9kb (menu builder + toggle).
- Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container.
Worth eyeballing post-deploy:
- Icon fills the full header height as a square
- Title glow + uppercase styling preserved
- Nav links render without underline; hover lights brighter
- `⋯` opens a frosted popover with `↑ dashboard`, `↻ rebuild
container`, `↻ new claude session`
- Rebuild confirm + POST works the same as the legacy chip
- New-session confirm + POST works the same as the legacy button
- State strip still wraps when crowded (model/ctx/cost
multi-line on narrow viewports)
- Cancel-turn button still appears while thinking and clears
on turn end
- Terminal padding-top adjusts to the new 6em header height
(no row hidden under the chrome)
The SW4RM tab's container card was reading container state
straight from the snapshot — when a rebuild was in flight and the
container was momentarily stopped between teardown and bring-up,
the card showed "stopped" while the SYST3M tab's rebuild queue
showed the operation running. The two surfaces disagreed.
Mara: *should show as building in container page as well*.
Cross-reference: build a `inFlightOpsByAgent()` map from
`rebuildQueueState` (kinds: rebuild / meta_update / destroy;
states: queued / running — skip `spawn` since transients already
drive that case). When rendering each container row, prefer the
operator-initiated transient if set; otherwise fall back to the
in-flight queue entry as a synthetic pending kind:
`rebuilding` / `meta-updating` / `destroying` (or `… queued`
when still waiting on the worker). The existing `pending-state`
spinner badge surfaces it visually — no new CSS rule needed.
Also wire `applyRebuildQueueChanged` to re-render containers so
the badge lights up the moment a rebuild lands in the queue and
clears the moment it finishes — no manual refresh.
The container-row tree-prefix used text box-drawing glyphs (├ └ │)
positioned with `top: 0.6em` — a single text-line tall. Once rows
grew past one line (5em square icon + multi-line body), the `│`
columns of consecutive siblings no longer touched, leaving visible
breaks in the tree.
Replace the text-glyph string with structured DOM: one `.tree-lane`
per depth column. Continuation lanes (`.lane-line`) paint a 1px
border-left spanning the full row height + the `.containers` gap
below, so adjacent siblings' bars visually merge into one unbroken
vertical. The row's own joint lane is `├` (branch — bar continues
below) or `└` (last — bar stops at icon midline), with a horizontal
stub at 3.1em (row padding-top + icon half-height) reaching to the
icon edge.
Joint y / stub width are derived from the 5em icon + 0.6em row
padding-top + 0.8em row padding-left so they meet the icon cleanly.
#375 set `z-index: 35` on the agent page's tail pill so it'd float
above the fixed composer (z-index 30). The fix only landed because
nothing else in `.agent-main` created a stacking context. But the
pill is anchored inside `.terminal-wrap`, which carries
`backdrop-filter: blur(...) saturate(...)` for the frost effect —
and `backdrop-filter` CREATES A STACKING CONTEXT. The pill's
z-index 35 was trapped inside that context and never got to compete
with the composer's z-index 30 in the root stacking context, so the
operator still saw the badge clipped under the input box.
Same root cause on the flow page — `.flow-main .terminal-wrap`
inherits the same backdrop-filter rule.
Fix: anchor the pill in `.agent-main` / `.flow-main` instead of
`log.parentElement` (= `.terminal-wrap`). Both ancestors are
`position: absolute` with `overflow: hidden` but NO backdrop-filter
or other stacking-context creators, so the pill's z-index reaches
the root and properly floats above the composer.
Geometry unchanged — `.agent-main` / `.flow-main` and the
`.terminal-wrap` they contain both `inset: 0` the same area, so the
pill's `bottom: calc(--composer-h + 0.6em)` lands at the same y.
Also added `.flow-main .tail-pill { z-index: 35 }` (the flow page
was missing the per-page z-index bump that the agent page already
had).
`pillAnchor` is an existing opt in @hive/shared/terminal.js (the
default is `log.parentElement`); both consumers now set it explicitly.
#375 captured `wasNearBottom` BEFORE the row's initial append so
the autoscroll wouldn't be tricked by the new row's own height.
That's still right, but it leaves a second gap: renderers commonly
call `api.row(cls, text)` to build the shell, then mutate the
returned element by appending more children (badges, multi-line
turn bodies, tool-result panes). The initial scrollTop assignment
in afterAppend only sees the row's INITIAL height — once the
renderer adds the body, the row's grown past the visible bottom
and the operator's stranded scrolled to the row's TOP, breaking
stick-to-bottom for every subsequent event.
Mara's symptom: two lines of text appear, the view scrolls only
one row, the terminal isn't at the bottom anymore, and the next
event doesn't auto-scroll because `isNearBottom()` now returns
false.
Fix: add a `stickToBottom` boolean (updated synchronously from the
scroll event handler) + a MutationObserver on the log subtree
(`childList`, `subtree`, `characterData`). On any mutation, if
stickToBottom is true, re-snap to bottom. MutationObserver
batches mutations into one microtask callback per synchronous
block, so it runs once per renderer call regardless of how many
children the renderer appends after `api.row` returned.
Programmatic `scrollTop = scrollHeight` doesn't trigger MO (the
scroll isn't a DOM mutation), so no feedback loop. Operator
scrolling up still flips stickToBottom to false via the existing
scroll handler — MO becomes a no-op until they scroll back.
Same shared `@hive/shared/terminal.js` powers the dashboard's
flow page + per-agent terminal, so both pages inherit the fix.
Swap the order of `.tabbar` and `.banner` inside `.dashboard-chrome`
so the operator's navigation surface sits at the very top of the
sticky/fixed header — the "WE ARE THE WIRED" slug becomes decoration
below the tabs rather than chrome above them.
Applied to both `index.html` (sticky chrome) and `flow.html`
(fixed-overlay chrome).
No CSS changes — `.tabbar { border-bottom }` still divides tabs from
the area below (now the banner), and active-tab `margin-bottom: -1px`
still merges into that boundary cleanly.
Operator wanted the tab header visible on /flow.html so switching
tabs doesn't require navigating back to / first.
The flow page now reuses the same `<header class="dashboard-chrome">`
markup the dashboard renders, with a few tweaks:
- The SW4RM / Y3R C4LL / SYST3M tabs are cross-page links
(`href="/#swarm"` etc.) — clicking lands on the dashboard with the
destination tab pre-active via the hash router.
- The FL0W tab is rendered `.active.tab-link` + `aria-current="page"`
so it reads as the current view (no clickable arrow / "go here"
affordance — you're already here).
- Banner-thin echoes the dashboard for visual continuity.
- Notif controls cohabit with the tabs (same IDs the dashboard uses,
so app.js's NOTIF binding picks them up unchanged).
Layout glue:
- `body.flow-shell .dashboard-chrome.flow-chrome` overrides the
dashboard's `position: sticky` with `position: fixed` so the
chrome stays put under flow-shell's `overflow: hidden` body
layout, keeping the terminal full-viewport behind/beneath.
- New rule for the active FL0W tab — the `.tab-link` styling on the
dashboard otherwise reads as a passive cross-page link; here we
need it lit-up like a regular active tab.
- `--flow-header-h` bumped from 4.2em → 4.7em to match the natural
height of the tab strip + banner combo. Terminal padding +
inbox-pill top offset both derive from this variable, so they
follow automatically.
Removed:
- Legacy `.flow-title`, `.flow-hint`, `.flow-back` CSS rules (their
HTML counterparts are gone — the tab strip carries the
identity now).
- The `<a class="flow-back">← d4shb04rd</a>` link and the
`<h2 class="flow-title">` from flow.html.
## Validation
`npm run build` clean.
dashboard.css: 38kb → 37kb (legacy rules removed, new shared-
chrome rules are smaller)
flow.html: 4.4kb → 4.7kb (tab strip replaces title bar)
app.js: unchanged (no JS changes — the tab navigation is
pure HTML href + cross-page hash)
Closes#383.
The SW4RM tab label already announces the section — an inline
`<h2>◆ C0NTAINERS ◆</h2>` + divider underneath was redundant
ink. The tab is single-section so there's no other content to
disambiguate from.
`#containers-section` div stays put (app.js targets it by id);
just the heading + divider go.
`npm run build` clean.
Closes#385.
Operator: the per-entry header (from/sep/ts) + body were on the same
grid row, with the body squeezed into a 1fr column. In the side-
panel flyout's ~640px width, after the auto header columns ate
their share, the body wrapped over many narrow lines.
Fix: `.agent-inbox li` switches from `display: grid` to
`display: block`. The body element (currently a `<div>` for
loose-ends and a `<span>` for inbox messages) gets explicit
`display: block` so it always breaks to a new line under the
header. Light `padding-left + border-left` indent on the body
gives a visual relationship to the header row above without
needing a column structure.
`inbox-ts` + `inbox-sep` pick up small left margins to preserve
the inline spacing the grid's `gap: 0.5em` used to provide.
`.answer-form` drops its no-longer-applicable `grid-column: 1 / -1`
(replaced with a regular block layout + matching padding-left so
the form aligns with the question body it answers).
## Validation
`npm run build` clean. Bundle deltas: agent.css unchanged in
bundled size (rules swapped 1:1).
Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container.
Worth eyeballing post-deploy:
- Loose-ends entries with long question/description bodies wrap
to the panel width rather than getting clipped into a narrow
fourth column.
- The header line stays compact and readable.
- Answer-form for a question loose-end still aligns visually
under the question body it answers.
Closes#376.
Two bugs on the agent terminal page after the #362 overhaul:
## 1. `↓ N new` pill clipped by the composer
The fixed-overlay composer (z-index 30, agent.css) sits in the
root stacking context. The pill — `position: absolute` inside
`.live.terminal` with no z-index — defaults to its document-order
position in the body's stacking order, which the composer covers.
Fix: bump `.agent-main .tail-pill { z-index: 35 }` so the pill
participates in the root stacking context above the composer.
Scoped to the agent-page overlay layout — the shared `.tail-pill`
rule stays untouched (the dashboard's in-page layout doesn't need
the bump).
## 2. Autoscroll-on-new-message not firing when the operator was
already at the bottom
`afterAppend()` in terminal.js was calling `isNearBottom()` AFTER
appending the new row. The new row's own height is already in
`scrollHeight` at that point, so for any row taller than the
NEAR_BOTTOM_PX threshold (48px — easily passed by a multi-line
message body, a tool-result summary, a markdown block), the check
returns false and the pill shows + scroll stays put.
Fix: capture `wasNearBottom = isNearBottom()` BEFORE the
`log.appendChild(...)` in each of `row` / `details` /
`detailsDiff`, pass it into `afterAppend(wasNearBottom)`. Now the
auto-scroll triggers whenever the operator was visually at the
bottom an instant before the row landed, regardless of the new
row's height.
Same shared `@hive/shared/terminal.js` is used by the dashboard
+ per-agent UI + the upcoming /flow.html page, so both pages
inherit the fix.
## Validation
`npm run build` clean.
Bundle deltas: shared terminal bundle re-inlined into both consumers
unchanged in size (the wasNearBottom variable is a single bool, no
measurable delta). Agent CSS +0.1kb (z-index property).
Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container —
worth eyeballing post-deploy:
- With the operator scrolled to bottom, a tall message lands and
the view scrolls to keep it visible (instead of pinning the
pill).
- The pill appears above the composer when the operator is
scrolled up and new messages land.
Closes#375.
Operator: 'option A (tabs)' (#369#issuecomment-3434) +
'yes terminal can be a separate page' (#369#issuecomment-3437).
## Tab framework
`index.html` becomes a 3-tab dashboard with a sticky chrome header:
- `◆ SW4RM ◆` — containers list (the central thing)
- `◆ Y3R C4LL ◆` — pending approvals + operator-targeted questions
- `◆ SYST3M ◆` — meta inputs + rebuild queue + reminders + tombstones
Hash routing: `#swarm` / `#call` / `#system` (empty → SW4RM).
F5-reloadable + back-button-aware without a router framework.
SSE stays alive across tab switches — count pills on inactive tabs
update live so the operator never loses pulse on what's happening
elsewhere:
- SW4RM: containers with needs_update
- Y3R C4LL: approvals.pending + questions.pending (attn-coloured pill)
- SYST3M: rebuild_queue entries in Queued|Running
Pills hidden when count is zero. setInterval(1s) polls the existing
state stores (cheap, no per-renderer hookup needed).
## FL0W as its own page
The all-agents chat moves to /flow.html — full-viewport vibec0re
layout mirroring the per-agent live page (#362):
- Fixed-overlay frosted-glass header at top (back link + title +
notif controls), backdrop-filter blur shows the scrolled chat
text behind.
- Full-viewport terminal, scroll-padded for the floating chrome so
first/last rows stay reachable.
- Fixed-overlay frosted composer at the bottom.
- Operator inbox surfaces via a pill (📬 inbox · N) in the upper
right — click opens the side-panel flyout with the message list.
In the dashboard tab strip, FL0W is the right-most entry but
renders as a `<a class="tab tab-link" href="/flow.html">` — clicking
navigates to the page rather than swapping a pane. Same pattern
back from flow.html via the `← d4shb04rd` link.
## Implementation notes
- New `/flow.html` page rendered by the same bundled `app.js` — the
flow page just doesn't have the dashboard-chrome DOM, so the
matching renderers no-op silently (each `if (!el) return`).
Avoids splitting the bundle for v1; can extract later if size
becomes a concern.
- `Panel` module gains `openNamed(name, …)` + `refresh(name, …)` —
the legacy untyped `open(title, content)` calls clear the owner,
so file-preview / diff / log drill-ins behave unchanged. `refresh`
is no-op when a different view owns the panel, so live message
events re-render the inbox flyout only when it's actually open.
- `renderInbox` updates BOTH the dashboard's inline `#inbox-section`
(now living on the flow page) AND the flow page's pill count +
side-panel refresh. The dashboard's empty FL0W tab is removed —
inbox + message flow + compose box only exist in flow.html.
- Banner shrinks to a thin Catppuccin gradient strip at the top of
the dashboard chrome (dropped the multi-line ASCII art —
affectionate but pure chrome budget in a tabbed layout).
- `build.mjs` copies both `index.html` + `flow.html` into dist.
## Validation
`npm run build` clean. Dashboard bundle deltas:
app.js 150kb → 152kb (tab routing + count pills + named-Panel)
dashboard.css 33kb → 38kb (tab chrome + flow page layout)
+ dist/flow.html 4.4kb
Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container
(no JS engine) — drafting as a PR for operator visual review on
next deploy. Worth eyeballing:
- Tab switching feels right; counts update live across SSE events
- FL0W page reads like the agent live page (frosted header + composer)
- Inbox pill opens flyout; live message arrivals refresh it
- Back link from flow → dashboard returns to last tab via the
URL hash (browser remembers the hash across page nav)
Closes#369.
Closes#363 (frontend half of milestone #361). Consumes the
`ContainerView.parent: Option<String>` field landing in damocles'
backend slice — when present, the container list renders depth-first
with sibling-position tree glyphs (├─ / └─ joints + │ continuation
columns). When absent (pre-#361 state — every container's `parent` is
None) the tree collapses to a flat list with no glyphs and no indent
— bit-identical to the legacy render.
## Tree shape
- Roots: containers whose `parent` is None OR whose parent name isn't
in the current container set (orphan tolerance).
- Sibling ordering: alphabetical by name within each level (matches
damocles' wire spec at #363#issuecomment-3356).
- Cycle safety: any container not reached via the root-walk gets
emitted as a root at the end — no agent ever silently disappears
from the list when the topology is malformed.
- Tree glyphs: ancestor at depth d contributes a │ continuation column
when that ancestor has more siblings below; otherwise a 3-space gap.
The joint is ├─ for non-last siblings, └─ for the last child.
- Depth-0 ancestor column is suppressed: roots already separate
visually as top-level rows, no need for a column 0 vertical line.
## DOM / CSS
- New `buildAgentTree(containers)` + `treePrefix(node)` helpers in
app.js. The render loop walks the tree-ordered list instead of the
legacy alphabetical containers array.
- Each container row gets `data-depth=N` (only when N > 0) and a
`<span class="tree-prefix">…</span>` prepended (absolute-positioned
into the row's left margin so the existing flex icon/body layout
isn't disrupted).
- CSS: per-depth `margin-left` step rules for depths 1-6 (hardcoded
rather than typed-attr() because CSS Values 5 is Chromium-only as
of 2026). 6 depths cover any reasonable hive topology with
headroom; deeper agents render at depth 6 indent without further
step — visually clamps gracefully.
- `.tree-prefix` rendered with `var(--purple-dim)` so the structural
lines read as supporting chrome, not as content.
## Validation
- `npm run build` clean. Bundle deltas: dashboard app.js
+1.8kb (tree builder + treePrefix + render-loop tweak),
dashboard.css +0.4kb (tree-prefix + per-depth indent rules).
- The render is a no-op until `ContainerView.parent` is populated —
validation in production deferred to once damocles' meta-topology
field lands. The pre-#361 path (every parent=None) is exercised
by every existing dashboard load.
- Forward-compatible with damocles' design pivot at #364 (topology
source moved from agent.nix to meta/topology.json). The wire shape
on ContainerView is unchanged from the frontend's perspective — the
field is just sourced from a different backend store.
