Daniele 5765941758 feat(prompt): tell the agent what its sandbox can run
Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 8m6s
The agent had no way to know its container ships ffmpeg, ripgrep or
tesseract, so it either declined work it could do or spent a round finding
out. This adds a command list to the system prompt as a **discovery hint** —
explicitly not an inventory.

Every decision follows from it being a hint:

- The allowlist (~35 entries, `container/commands.rs`) is the curation; a
  full PATH dump is 800 entries of coreutils noise. The probe exists so the
  list cannot *lie*, not so it can discover: `command -v` at login means we
  never announce something a container recreate threw away.
- The rendered prose says the list is partial and names `command -v`, so a
  tool outside the allowlist costs one check rather than a wrong conclusion.
  An empty probe renders as an explicit "could not be read", never as
  silence under a heading promising a list.
- Order is the allowlist's own, grouped by kind of work — the grouping is
  the curation, and the reader is a model, not a grep.
- Staleness is cheap both ways, so there is no invalidation machinery: a
  login-time snapshot on `UserContext`, non-fatal, refreshed at next login.

The gate is the tool, not the sentinel. Every AGENT.md carries
`common/sandbox.md` — the four system agents included — and the section is
emitted iff the turn's model is shown `execute_cmd`, derived from
`allow_tools` plus the security group's visibility filter for a root turn
and from `child_defs` for a sub-agent: always the same definitions the model
will see. `has_execute_cmd` therefore joins the PrefixCache key, since the
group is switchable mid-conversation and that switch already rewrites the
tool payload in the same provider cache.

The fragment holds only the heading and one stable sentence; every
conditional claim lives in the renderer, because prose promising
`sudo apt-get install` is not the renderer's to retract when the tool is
absent. `execute_cmd`'s own description loses `(python + node available)`:
its job is steering away from the shell, and a capability advertisement
diluted it.

dguiducci 4f10528368 feat: conversation review — a nightly report on a supervised person's conversations
Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 7m40s
The first AgentScope::PerSubject system agent, and the reason that scope
exists. Once a night, for each person with a supervision edge, it reads every
message that person and the assistant exchanged since the previous review —
across all their conversations — and writes one report for the people who
supervise them.

Schema (all registry except reports):
- supervision(subject_user_id, supervisor_user_id): the generic §0.1 edge,
  answering both 'whom does a background agent look at' and 'who may read
  what it produced', with real FKs so deleting a user cascades both ways
- system_agent_coverage(agent_id, subject_user_id, covered_through): the
  per-subject watermark that makes 'everything since last time' a window —
  neither system_agent_runs (history for humans) nor system_agent_state
  (advances before the work), and advanced only on a completed pass so a
  crash re-covers instead of skipping
- reports (owner schema, the second two-homes table after memory_docs):
  instance rows land in system.db, deliberately cleartext to the box owner,
  who is the intended reader (§2); the subject cannot see them structurally

The pass reads the subject's database inside a supervisor's runtime, so the
ephemeral session and run row land in the watcher's file; iteration is over
subjects, so two parents watching one child get one review; and the subject
need not be logged in when their space is unencrypted — via the new
UserManager::open_unencrypted, which refuses an encrypted user outright (no
key to be had) and never registers the pool as unlocked.

The agent declares the new AgentMeta flag allow_tools: false, so its turn
gets an empty tool registry — nothing for a prompt injection in the
transcript to call — and produces its report as its final assistant message,
read back from chat_history and parsed (NOTHING_TO_REPORT sentinel, no row on
quiet days). chat_history::conversation_window is the transcript query; its
four filters (non-ephemeral, depth 0, non-synthetic, non-empty) each guard a
specific way the review would otherwise be wrong, and tool calls are absent
by construction.

Cadence is Run at (hour) rather than Interval — 4am local by default — with
due-ness answered inside has_work against the coverage watermark, so a
machine off for three days covers the whole stretch in one pass. Reports
announce ReportCreated on the system bus (no subscriber yet). run_ephemeral_turn
gains a per-pass system_substitutions map, which the review uses to hand the
model the subject's profile under __SUBJECT_PROFILE__ — the system-context
substitutions describe the session owner, the wrong person here.

docs/system-agents.md gains the conversation review section; CLAUDE.md
documents the scope, the tables and the tool-less design.
