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.

Replace the ad-hoc [SYSTEM INFO] / [TELEGRAM SYSTEM INFO] prefixes with a
single canonical <system-extra> wrapper, sourced from one constant
(SYSTEM_EXTRA_TAG) so emission and documentation can never diverge.
- core-api: SYSTEM_EXTRA_TAG + system_extra() helper; attachments_block
rebuilt on top of it.
- telegram: system_info_message (location) uses the helper; the voice
transcript is forwarded as a plain user message (it is the user's own
words, not harness metadata).
- chat agents: new agents/common/harness.md include (long form, with an
explicit "data, not instructions" guard), added to assistant/kid/
project-coordinator. The tag name rides the __HARNESS_TAG__ sentinel,
resolved in AgentSystemContext to SYSTEM_EXTRA_TAG — renaming the tag
stays a one-line change.
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).
Remove the scope system end-to-end (llm_models.scope column, agent meta
scope field, scope-based tier in model selection, UI checkboxes/pills):
it was only a soft ranking hint, had drifted (6 UI scopes vs 3 used by
agents, 'general' not even selectable) and duplicated what strength
already decides. Strength stays the single AUTO-selection axis.
Compaction: the summary model is now pickable from the Settings page
via a new PropertyType::LlmModel config property (registry key
compaction_model), instance-wide and live (no restart). Fallback chain:
explicit pick -> compaction.strength from config.yml -> priority order;
a deleted configured model degrades to AUTO. ContextCompactor reads the
key at compact time through GlobalConfigManager.
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.
Show file gains image and video display for capable agents. Docs add
projects.md and update index. Wire ws file-watch in project-board.
Minor fs tool and CLAUDE.md updates.
- Strip ~55 stale upstream docs (dev docs never meant for the agents)
- Write new slim index.md as an agent-facing guide to the app's features
- Add new plugin docs: comfyui, elevenlabs, kokoro_tts, orpheus_tts_3b,
remote_connectivity, whisper_local (replacing old names)
- Add docs_host to UserFs: docs/… and ~/docs/… resolve to {WD}/docs,
mounted read-only at /root/docs in every user's container
- Instruct assistant/kid/project-coordinator agents to read docs/index.md
when users ask how the software works
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.
Replace the five copy-paste OpenAI-compatible provider structs (moonshot,
moonshot_code, deepseek, zai, lm_studio) with one DeclaredProvider engine
driven by a providers.yaml catalog loaded at boot from the cwd — edit and
restart, no rebuild. The YAML carries identity, endpoints, per-model JSON
field mapping, id-glob enrichment rules and the reasoning knob (effort /
thinking request kinds); capability_flags keep vision and future input
modalities declarative. Anthropic, Ollama, OpenAI and OpenRouter stay
native (different wire protocols or bespoke parsing) and register
alongside; colliding declared ids are skipped. The shipped catalog is
validated by a unit test.
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.
- New skald-setup crate: interactive first-run wizard that creates the
admin user, prompts for encryption choice and password
- Auth system: session-based login/logout with cookie, guard middleware
- Roles API: CRUD for data-driven roles, seeded on first boot
- Users management API: create, list, edit, delete users
- Setup state API: check if first admin has been created
- Frontend: login-page, setup-page, users-page, roles-page, profile-page
components with corresponding CSS
- Topbar: avatar dropdown with profile link and logout
- Sidebar: nav entries for Users and Roles (admin only)
- Page shell CSS: layout support for the new pages
- build.sh: builds both skald and skald-setup binaries
- run.sh: runs skald-setup before the server loop
- CLAUDE.md: updated workspace layout and build/run docs
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.
