TIC said nothing about what the agent does, and named the wrong thing: the
tick belongs to the scheduler, which is generic and lives outside it. The
agent's only decision is whether an incoming event deserves an interruption
— it sorts, it never acts — so it is now event-triage, matching the
functional naming of the two memory lints.
- agents/tic/ -> agents/event-triage/, module tic/ -> event_triage/,
TicManager -> EventTriageManager, TicConfig -> EventTriageConfig
- agent id and chat source: "tic" -> "event-triage"
- config keys: tic.* -> event_triage.*, and the config.yml section tic: ->
event_triage: (greenfield: previously set values fall back to defaults)
- i18n en/it/fr: Event triage / Triage eventi / Tri des evenements; dropped
the stale "TIC sessions" mention from the debug-pages description
- docs/system-agents.md, docs/index.md, docs/settings.md, CLAUDE.md, SKALD.md
The LLM-requests page has been empty since 24ee5b8: deleting
`session/handler/llm_call.rs` dropped both halves of the request log.
The kernel builds the `ModelRequest` itself and sets `log: None`, so the
`LoggingModel` decorator — wrapped once per model by `LlmManager` — wrote
every metadata row with a NULL `user_id`, while the page (and the detail
endpoint) filter on it. Nothing wrote `llm_request_payloads` at all any
more, so the payload viewer had nothing to show either.
Correlation cannot come from `LlmManager`: it builds one shared client
per model and does not know whose traffic it serves. It now comes from
the `ModelSelector`, the one component that knows both the model and the
owner: `SkaldSelector::with_log(RequestLogTarget)` wraps the model it
hands out, so metadata lands in `llm_requests` attributed to the user and
the payload lands in that user's own encrypted DB, keyed by `request_id`.
Session and frame are read off the request's `conversation`/`frame`,
which makes kernel rounds, sub-agent frames and compaction summaries all
attributed with no extra plumbing (`ModelRequest::log` stays unused).
The compactor's summariser call is attributed too, which it never was:
`try_compact`/`force_compact` now take the owner (its selector is built
per compaction, so it can carry the target).
Three tests in `llm::logging` lock this down — the owner/session/frame
columns, the error row with the provider's rejected body, and the
metadata-only path when no owner pool is available.

The session handler is now a thin shell: three entry points in
kernel_turn.rs (run_kernel_turn / recover_turn / resolve_pending_call)
and the ChatSessionHandler. Everything that shaped a Value — projection,
recovery, compaction mechanics, the LLM loop, message building — lives
in agent-loop or behind a loop_adapters trait.
agent-loop:
- projection/ (mod + media): stored history -> wire messages, the one
place provider divergence lives; well-formedness contract, DTL
injections (append-only), media parts. LinearAssembler is now a
Projection + ProjectionHooks config, not its own implementation
- recovery.rs: reap interrupted batches -> resolve the deepest frame's
non-terminal calls (Running by policy + RestartHint, AwaitingHuman
re-asked) -> un-wedge finished children -> cascade up, every frame on
its own agent (B3)
- compaction.rs: split point (never assistant+tool group), transcript,
SUMMARY_PREFIX/preamble/template, the no-tools model call, summary row
- manager: resolve_pending (gate skipped, real ToolContext, then
continue incl. sub-agent); start_loop used by recovery; LiveInput
- delegate: AsyncExecutor + StoreSink for mode:async (durable cron row,
result delivered back into the parent conversation)
- kernel/context/store: support the above (TurnScope via Extensions,
frame lookups, aligned result-text semantics)
skald-core:
- loop_adapters: UserLoopRuntime (D12 - one LoopManager per user),
TurnScope (per-turn state in the Extensions type-map; no scope is
denied), projection_cfg/media_source/tool_digest (Skald's projection
knobs without owning projection code), async_task (CronExecutor +
DurableSink)
- session/handler: stripped to mod.rs + kernel_turn.rs + config.rs +
interface_tools.rs + media.rs; deleted agent_dispatch, approval,
dispatch, emitter, gate, llm_call, llm_loop, message_builder,
messages, outcome, resume
- compactor.rs: policy only (threshold, model pick, CompactionEvent);
mechanics are the crate's
CLAUDE.md updated (recovery, compaction, sub-agents, approval gate,
projection sections now describe the crate-owned flow).
ChatSessionHandler now runs the root turn on the agent-loop kernel
instead of run_agent_turn; sub-agents follow on the same kernel via
DelegateTool. The old loop stays for resume/recovery until phase 3.
agent-loop:
- DelegateTool + AgentCatalog/AgentProfile (full toolset override,
per-child selector/assembler, frame-scoped get), StaticCatalog,
FilteredToolSet; sync flow with sticky child_token; batch via the
generic fan-out
- manager: start_loop skips the registry (children are not
double-driving; they ride the parent's token tree); LoopParams gains
selector/token overrides
- store: get_frame, get_call, set_call_extras; HistoryStore result text
aligned to raw-stored semantics (projection formats)
- events: ApprovalRequired.request_id, AgentSpawned/Finished parent
info; AskUserTool with_name + suggested_answers alias + Question.frame
skald-core (loop_adapters + handler):
- SkaldAssembler (byte-parity port of MessageBuilder's projection:
scratchpad/summary/window, DTL Kimi/Anthropic injection, media, user
coalescing, reasoning echo) + AgentSystemContext (prompt layers,
substitutions, MCP list, shared folders, user profile)
- SkaldAgentCatalog (build_sub_agent_config port), SkaldHumanChannel,
scratchpad/todos tools, execute_task sync/async alias,
LegacyInterfaceTool, PendingLiveInput
- ApprovalGate: PendingWrite diffs via LoopEvent::Host (memory/disk
routed like the fs-tools); SkaldWritePreviewHook for executed-write
diffs; EventTranslator LoopEvent→ServerEvent (display meta, preview,
FileChanged, AgentStart/Done, root-only Done/Truncated/Cancelled)
- handle_message: builds TurnParams and drives the kernel; resume of
pending tools runs first (results belong to the previous turn);
ChatEvent publication stays handler-side; /stop cancels the live loop
- ToolRegistry.get_tool/all_tools; def builders made pub(crate)
Full workspace suite green (179 skald-core, 34 agent-loop, adapters
incl.); two pre-existing doc-test failures fixed along the way.
Extract shared upload seam in skald-core, move Telegram and web
handlers to use it. Simplify media attachment routing. Clean up
unused deps and dead code.
Adds media.rs for per-turn attachment routing, message_builder
partitioning by resolved model capabilities, controller endpoints
for uploads, and server routing for /data/* behind session auth.
See CLAUDE.md §Multimodal attachments for full design.
Re-architects MCP from one owner table + agent-written registration into an
admin-curated catalog with two runtimes unioned per session, surfaced in the UI
as "Connectors" (mcp/schema stays neutral, §0.1).
Two runtimes behind one seam (§7):
- Global runtime: shared, stateless connectors (web-search, Tavily…) on the
HOST, connected at boot from mcp_global_servers, access-filtered per user via
mcp_global_access.
- Per-user runtime: a user's activated connectors run INSIDE their container,
started at first login from mcp_user_servers and living until restart (§9);
docker exec -i children die via kill_on_drop when the UserContext drops.
- McpProvider trait (mcp/provider.rs): the session round-loop never learns which
runtime owns a server. McpManager implements it directly (inert ownerless
bundle); UserMcpView implements global ∪ user with an accessible_global
snapshot. Both share McpManager::connect_all; McpServerSpec +
global_row_spec/user_row_spec turn a DB row into a connectable spec.
- mcp-client: McpServerConfig.launch_in runs a stdio command inside a container
via docker exec -i (set at runtime, never parsed from config).
Authorization is a capability on the role, not `if role==admin` (§0.1/§14):
role_capabilities table + db/role_capabilities.rs — register_remote and
register_local_from_catalog are self-service (seeded on every new role), while
register_local_script and manage_catalog are admin-only. admin holds every
capability by construction. This removes the agent-facing register_mcp/delete_mcp
tools and the mcp kinds of list_items/toggle_item, closing the §14 RCE vector.
Schema:
- Registry: mcp_catalog (vetted templates — schema only, no live creds),
mcp_global_servers + mcp_global_access, role_capabilities.
- Owner: mcp_user_servers (per-user activations; api_key encrypted at rest,
catalog_name a bare TEXT snapshot, never an owner→registry FK).
- Drops the old owner table mcp_servers.
API + UI: src/frontend/api/mcp.rs (admin catalog/global/access + user
available/activate/activated, all capability-gated via require_cap);
web/components/connectors.js (<connectors-page>) renders the user view always
and the admin view for role_id === 'admin'.
Deferred: interactive per-user auth (OAuth callback / QR / SSH elicitation, §15)
— only none/api_key wired; no boot seed of catalog presets; per-(user, session)
MCP grant model still open.
Realizes blueprint §6: each user gets a permanent Docker container
(skald-{userid}, our own skald-runtime image with python+node) as their
execution sandbox. Docker is now a hard requirement — a missing daemon fails
Skald::new and the process exits at boot.
- ContainerManager (crates/skald-core/src/container/): docker availability
check, builds skald-runtime from the embedded Dockerfile, reconciles one
running container per active user at boot, stops them at shutdown, and
ensure/remove on user create/delete. Shells the docker CLI (no client crate).
- UserFs (core-api): pure value type carried in ToolContext, mapping the agent's
single namespace — ~/ → homes/{userid}, shared/{X}/ → shared/{X} (membership),
user-memory/ + shared-memory/ → SQLite — to host and container paths.
- execute_cmd now runs inside the caller's container via `docker exec`.
- fs-tools resolve every physical path through UserFs to the per-user host
workspace, host-side, with fail-closed symlink/`..` containment
(resolve_host_path: canonicalize + prefix-check). grep_files resolves its root
the same way but stays disk-only.
- shared_folders + shared_folder_members (registry, junction table with
can_write) back the shared-folder membership that drives both the container
mounts and the shared/{X} routing.
- Threading: UserContext.fs → ChatSessionManager → handler → ToolContext.fs.
Per-user MCP servers do not yet run in the container (next round).
Add a virtual memory namespace backed by SQLite, surfaced through the
fs-tools, with private (per-user) and shared (system) stores.
Storage
- `memory_docs` owner table + external-content FTS5 index with sync triggers.
- `db/memory_docs.rs` accessor: get / upsert / list / search (bm25+snippet) / delete.
Routing (tools/fs)
- `classify_memory` splits paths on the raw first component; `..` clamps inside
the store, never escaping to disk.
- read/write/list/edit/insert/replace/search_file route `user-memory/` to the
owner pool and `shared-memory/` to the system pool (a singleton captured in
`register_all`); every other path stays on disk. Each tool extracts a pure
transform shared between its disk and memory paths.
- New `memory_search` tool over the FTS index (scope private/shared/all),
with a sanitised FTS5 query. grep_files stays disk-only.
Approval
- `user-memory/*` allow (read+write); `shared-memory/*` reads allow,
writes require approval so the agent can't silently push one person's data
into shared memory. `memory_search` allowed via a path-less rule.
- migrate away the old `memory/*` and blanket `shared-memory/*` rows.
Prompt injection
- `MessageBuilder::load_inject_memory` reads `user-memory/` (owner pool) and
`shared-memory/` (system pool) inject entries from SQLite; disk paths
unchanged. The system pool is threaded ChatSessionManager -> handler ->
MessageBuilder.
- main and project-coordinator inject `user-memory/index.md` +
`shared-memory/index.md`; common/memory.md rewritten for the two stores.
Two changes developed together in one session; they share the same module
structure (db/mod.rs, the core lib root) and only compile together, so they
land as one commit.
## UserManager + per-user encryption (§9/§11)
New `users::UserManager`: owns the system.db pool plus a map
`userid -> SqlitePool` of unlocked databases. The pool *is* the unlock token —
its connect options carry the DEK as SQLCipher's raw key, so an open pool means
the key is in RAM until restart and dropping it re-locks (§9). Knows nothing
about cookies.
New `crypto` module: envelope encryption. A random 256-bit DEK encrypts
`{userid}.db`; `users.database_password` holds it sealed with AES-256-GCM under
`Argon2id(password, salt)`. The AEAD tag is the password verifier — one
derivation both authenticates and yields the key, so encrypted users store no
second hash. Cleartext users store the Argon2id output directly, compared in
constant time. Argon2 runs in spawn_blocking behind a 2-permit semaphore
(256 MiB per derivation).
- SQLCipher via `libsqlite3-sys` `bundled-sqlcipher-vendored-openssl`, pinned
<0.38 so it unifies with the one sqlx-sqlite links (a newer copy would apply
the feature to a SQLite sqlx never uses). OpenSSL is vendored and static, so
the binary stays self-contained.
- Schema split into `create_registry_tables` (instance-wide, no user key) and
`create_owner_tables` (one owner's content, identical in every file). No FK in
the owner bucket may reach the registry — enforced by a standalone test.
Dropped `chat_history.model_db_id` (write-only, and the only registry-crossing
key); moved `projects`/`project_tickets` into the owner bucket.
- Provisioning invariant: the file is written before the row, deleted after it,
so a crash leaves an orphan file, never a user without a database. `open_db`
never creates: a missing file is an error, not a silent empty database.
Not consumed yet: no login, call sites still use the shared system.db pool.
## Extract crates/skald-core
The headless core moves out of `src/` into its own crate; `skald` (server) and
the coming `skald-setup` are shells around it. Two dependencies on the shell
were inverted rather than dragged along, so the core names neither Tauri nor any
concrete plugin:
- `Plugin::tools(self: Arc<Self>)` — plugins contribute tools through this hook
(sibling of `http_router`), so the core no longer downcasts to
`MobileConnectorPlugin`.
- `tools::restart::set_restart_handler` — the desktop shell installs its
teardown-and-respawn; the core defaults to the supervisor exit code. The core
loses its `desktop` feature.
- `boot`'s stdout formatter moves to the binary (`src/boot_format.rs`); the core
only emits tracing events.
All 79 core tests pass; the binary boots and serves in a clean directory, and
the mobile-connector tools still register through the new hook.
