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.

Daniele c27da4e6ab feat(skills): rebuild the skill system for the multi-user model
Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 8m6s
Per blueprint/skill-project.md: the old single-namespace, hand-maintained
index is gone, replaced by a read-only, two-scope tree whose index is a
runtime function of its content.

- skills/ index generated at runtime (crates/skald-core/src/skills/:
  inventory, install, validate, watch), injected through the new
  <!-- SKILLS_LIST --> placeholder in AGENT.md (agents/common/skills.md);
  meta.json inject_skills flag removed. 11 chat/task agents carry the
  include, the 4 system agents do not.
- Two trees, both read-only in both directions: skills/shared/{id} (the
  group's) and skills/{username}/{id} (one member's own, on the stable
  userid). The root is closed too: UserFs::SkillMounts + RouteError (alias
  probe, plain-denied paths, no home fallback) and a per-user
  .skills-root/{userid} container mount with the two scope mounts nested
  inside, plus the fifth self-heal axis (skills_mounted).
- Agent verbs: skill_register/skill_delete (Config group, global scope
  behind the new skill.manage capability), fetch_repo for public repos,
  list_items(type="skills"); reads are plain read_file on the printed
  path. Seeded @fs_read skills/* allow.
- Freshness: a digest-gated watcher on the two trees emits
  SystemEvent::SkillsChanged, whose subscriber rebuilds the frozen prompt
  prefix via Skald::invalidate_prompt_prefix; in-process writers invalidate
  directly.
- The build ships no skills: the three bundled skills (ics2json,
  mcp-builder, skill-creator) and skills/index.md are removed, skills/ is
  instance data (gitignored, not packaged, no longer pruned by update.sh).
- Docs: skills.md, agents.md, shared-folders.md added; docs/index.md and
  agents/README.md updated.

Daniele 71e1a26b08 fix(ui): render PDFs with pdf.js instead of an iframe
Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 7m59s
On iOS the file viewer showed only the first page of a PDF, with no way
to scroll to the rest — the document had to be downloaded and opened in
another app. The cause was not ours: WebKit refuses to mount its PDF
viewer inside an <iframe>/<object>/<embed> and paints a static first-page
thumbnail instead. That hits Safari on iOS and every WKWebView, so the
native shell too. The full viewer only exists for a top-level navigation.

The desktop browsers do mount a viewer, but each mounts its own — Chrome's
toolbar, Safari's page-index sidebar — so the same document also looked
different on every machine.

Both are answered by drawing the pages ourselves. New <pdf-view>
(web/components/shared/pdf-view.js) renders a continuous scroll of canvas
pages on the vendored pdf.js, with a zoom control and a page counter, and
replaces the iframe for both native .pdf files and server-compiled LaTeX.

Three properties are load-bearing:

- pdf.js is imported lazily (~450 KB + a 1.2 MB worker), so a session that
  never opens a PDF never pays for it.
- Canvases are created and destroyed as pages scroll. iOS caps the total
  canvas backing store a page may hold and silently blanks canvases past
  it, so an eager render would come out empty on exactly the platform this
  was written for. Off-screen pages keep only a correctly-sized box, which
  is also what keeps the scrollbar honest.
- The text layer (selection, in-page find) is best-effort: it is
  transparent DOM over the pixels, so its failures are swallowed rather
  than surfaced.

Vendored from pdfjs-dist 6.2.108: pdf.min.mjs, pdf.worker.min.mjs, the
standard-font data (needed by PDFs that reference Helvetica/Times without
embedding them) and the .textLayer block of pdf_viewer.css. CJK cmaps are
deliberately left out. pdf.js 6 needs Safari/iOS 17.4+.

Verified in headless Chromium against both a synthetic 12-page PDF using
non-embedded Helvetica and a real 14-page paper with embedded fonts and
figures: all pages present, last page renders after scrolling, page 1
released off-screen, text layer populated, zoom re-renders at the new
scale, no JS errors.

Daniele 3744884070 fix(relay): detect a silently dead agent WebSocket and redial
Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 7m53s
The agent's control WS to the relay was purely reactive: it answered the
relay's Ping with a Pong and otherwise never wrote anything for long
stretches. So when the path broke silently — NAT rebinding, a reverse proxy
dropping its state — there were no unacked bytes for the kernel to
retransmit, the socket never errored, and the relay's Close (it gives up
after 120s of quiet) fell into the same hole. stream.next() then parked
forever on a socket to nobody, is_connected() kept answering true, and the
reconnect schedule below it — which works fine, it just never got asked —
was never reached. Only a process restart cleared it.

Relay logs show the cost: three idle-timeout closes of the agent connection
with the agent absent for 2h, 9h and >2h afterwards, while every disconnect
it *did* notice was back in 2-4 seconds. During one of those windows the iOS
client authenticated four times and not a single pipe matched: pipe_invite
rides the E2E channel through the agent's WS, so with the agent gone the web
view had nothing to tunnel through.

Add a per-session liveness probe. Both halves matter: a WS Ping every 20s
keeps unacked bytes on the wire so a dead path finally surfaces as a TCP
error (and the relay's Pong refreshes its own idle timer), and 75s of
inbound silence — two missed relay pings — returns Err, handing the session
to the existing backoff schedule.

Covered by a test against a relay that completes the v2 handshake and then
goes mute, the shape a black-holed path leaves behind. It reads the raw TCP
stream rather than ws.next() because tungstenite auto-answers a Ping with a
Pong on the next read, which would keep last_seen fresh and defeat the
silence being simulated. Without the probe the test hangs instead of
redialing.
