dguiducci baf68878e4 fix: stop shrinking conversations behind the user's back — both automatic context guards ship off
Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 7m35s
The shipped default combined a sliding history window with no compaction, which
is the worse of the two available trades in both directions it is measured on.

`max_history_messages: 30` is a sliding tail window (`projection::window` —
`drain(..len - max)`). Past 30 messages it drops from the head on *every* turn,
so the prompt prefix changes on every single request and every provider that
caches one (Anthropic breakpoints, OpenAI automatic prefix caching) misses every
time. It also drops those messages with no summary standing in for them: silent
amnesia, not just a cold cache. Compaction rewrites the prefix once per
compaction and leaves a summary behind — yet it was the half that was commented
out, while the window's own doc-comment already said the two were exclusive.

Both are now `Option` and both ship unset, so nothing shrinks a conversation
unless a human types `/compact`.

Which surfaced the real bug: `/compact` did not work either. The compactor was
`Option<Arc<ContextCompactor>>` keyed on the config section existing, so
commenting out `compaction:` disabled the manual command too — `force_compact`
returned `Ok(false)` and the chat answered "compaction disabled". Manual
compaction is a command a user types; it cannot depend on an admin having filled
in a token threshold. The compactor is now built unconditionally and
`threshold_tokens: Option<u32>` arms only the automatic pass; `try_compact`
early-returns without it, `force_compact` deliberately never consults it.

The projection accordingly yields to the *automatic* pass rather than to the
compactor's existence (`LoopConfig.auto_compaction_enabled`), so a configured
message cap is not silently voided by `/compact` merely being available.
`CompactionConfig::Default` is hand-written for the same reason `RoleAttrs`'s is:
a derived one gives `keep_recent: 0`, which would compact away every recent
message on any box omitting the section — now the default.

Also fixes two documentation bugs in the same file: `event_triage` was documented
nested under `llm:`, where it parses fine and is then silently ignored (it is a
top-level field), and `datetime` was documented twice with conflicting examples.

A new test asserts the shipped default actually deserializes and that both guards
are off — a field the default omits must be genuinely optional, or a brand-new
install fails to boot.

Automatic compaction returns later, triggered off the resolved model's own
context window instead of a hand-tuned token count that cannot know which model
is answering.

dguiducci 046f060fcd rename the TIC system agent to event triage
Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 7m16s
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

dguiducci 434e27d7c2 system agents: generalise the scheduler and add the two memory lints
Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 7m14s
Memory is kept as a maintained wiki, and a wiki nobody prunes rots. This adds
the scheduled maintenance pass, and generalises the machinery TIC had grown so
that a background agent is a trait impl rather than a loop of its own.

Two lint agents, not one. The private pass runs per user over `user-memory/`
and reports to them; the shared pass runs once over `shared-memory/`, where the
interesting defect is different — a note failing the table rule, i.e. private
business written where every member can read it. It names the note and the
category without repeating the content, since restating it spreads the very
thing being flagged. Both share `agents/common/memory-lint.md`.

Both are read-only, and that is enforced twice: the prompt says report-never-
repair, and `shared-memory/*` writes are already `@fs_write require`, so an
agent that tried to fix something would raise an approval card from an
unattended pass, which is auto-denied. Read-only is the only design that works
here, not merely the safe one.

One scheduler for cadences three orders of magnitude apart. TIC runs every few
minutes, a lint weekly — the case that tempts a second loop. It stays one
because the wake-up decides nothing: `base_tick` picks only how often to look,
and whether an agent runs for a user is `is_due` against persisted state.

Due-ness moves out of the run log into a new owner table, `system_agent_state`.
The two answer different questions: the run log skips idle ticks so it stays a
history rather than a heartbeat, while scheduling needs every attempt. Reading
due-ness off the log would re-run an idle agent on every tick and never bring a
weekly one due once its last productive run aged out. Persisting it is also
what makes a long interval survive a restart — an in-memory deadline is fine at
TIC's scale, but a weekly agent on a box rebooted every few days would have it
re-armed before it ever fired.

The shared store belongs to nobody, so `AgentScope::Instance` runs that pass as
the first unlocked admin. An ownerless run would write its trace into system.db,
which the runs endpoint shows to nobody by design, and its notify() would have
no recipient; attributing it to a user keeps the whole per-user surface working
unchanged.

Settings move to where the run log is. `ConfigSet` gains `owner`, so placement
is data on the set rather than a page that knows set names; the System agents
page grows one tab per agent holding its description, its settings (admin only)
and its runs — "why did this do nothing last night?" is half a schedule
question and half a log question. The form is shared with the Config page, and
writes still go through PUT /api/config/{key}.

Fixes an authorization gap found on the way: neither /api/config handler took
the caller into account, so any authenticated session could read and write
instance-wide config. The sidebar hiding the page is presentation, not access
control. Both are now admin-gated.

dguiducciandClaude Opus 5 73c720e9ef llm: restore request logging lost in the agent-loop migration
Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 6m50s
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.

dguiducci 24ee5b89d7 agent-loop: projection, recovery, compaction into the crate (phase 3)
Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 6m49s
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).

dguiducci 882a8c9cb9 llm: switch Skald to agent-loop Model clients; drop llm-client (phase 1, D13)
The LLM call path now runs on the agent-loop crate's clients and trait:

- core-api: BuiltLlmClient.client is Arc<dyn agent_loop::model::Model>;
  chatbot.rs (ChatbotClient + wire types) deleted; APP_NAME re-exported
  from agent-loop
- providers (openai/anthropic/ollama/openrouter/requesty/declared) build
  OpenAiModel/AnthropicModel/OllamaModel with the model's wire id
- LoggingModel decorator (llm/logging.rs) replaces LoggingChatbotClient;
  per-request correlation (session/stack/user) travels in the new
  ModelRequest.log field, never sent to providers
- llm_call/llm_loop/compactor speak Model::complete + ModelResponse;
  retriability via Model::is_retriable (structured status, B6 rule now
  the crate's default); payload persistence reads RawMeta off
  ModelResponse/ModelError
- crates/llm-client and skald-core/src/chatbot deleted

Full workspace test suite green (incl. 162 skald-core + 32 agent-loop).

dguiducci 5081ec2afe llm: drop model/agent scope matching; add instance-wide compaction model picker
Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 6m50s
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.

dguiducci d1d0a2af26 llm: add dynamic tool loading (DTL) — Kimi system-tools + Anthropic tool-reference
Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 6m51s
Replace the old session_mcp_grants/stack_mcp_grants table pair with
a single activated_tools table that anchors each activation at the
assistant message_id that triggered it. The durable write moves from
the activate_tools tool itself to the round loop (handle_tool_call),
which has the message_id the DTL serializer positions injected tool
blocks against.

Introduce DtlMode (None / AnthropicToolReference / KimiSystemTools),
resolved per model from capabilities (opt-in via tool_search)
combined with the provider's dtl_format(). The message builder inserts
Kimi system {tools} blocks at the activation position, or emits
Anthropic tool_reference markers on the tool result. The tool-def
surface (all_tool_defs) switches shape: Anthropic declares everything
deferred; Kimi omits activated tools from the top-level array (system
takes over); None keeps the old grant-set logic.

Anthropic client: accept structured system arrays (cache_control on
the static block when DTL is active), carry defer_loading through
conversion, emit tool_reference blocks on result messages. Prompt
caching enabled exactly when DTL is active (anthropic provider).

MCP server list in the prompt is now a static catalogue (not split
Available/Active) — the split invalidated the cache on every activation.
Groundwork for providers.yaml dtl: key; Moonshot/Kimi providers wired
with kimi_system_tools and the k3* enrich now adds tool_search.
Compactor re-anchors activations whose message was compacted away.

dguiducci 178a38357e feat(users): UserManager with per-user SQLCipher, and extract skald-core crate
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.
