Nightly Build / build (push) Successful in 6m36s
A user's session sees global MCP connectors through UserMcpView, filtered by accessible_global — a snapshot of mcp_global_access taken when the user's UserContext is built at login. That context is cached until restart, so an admin enabling/deleting a global connector or changing its access set was invisible in MCP_LIST (and in the tool surface) until the whole process restarted. Make accessible_global a swappable cell (SharedGlobalAccess, the MCP twin of SharedFs for §6 fs remount): UserContext::refresh_global_access re-reads the registry and stores it in place, and Skald::refresh_global_mcp_access broadcasts that to every live context. Wire it into global_enable, global_delete, global_set_access and user_connectors_set so a grant/enable is reflected in running sessions immediately. Also add the shared common/mcp.md include (the <!-- MCP_LIST --> sentinel) to the kid agent, aligning it with the other agents. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Agent icons — style guide
Each agent in the agents/ directory can have an icon/avatar declared in the "icon" field of its meta.json. The backend serves the file via GET /api/agents/{id}/icon.
Visual style
Icons are generated with Vector Paintings LoRA via ComfyUI in a warm, family-friendly style:
- Style: painterly vector — bold shapes fused with expressive brushstrokes
- Technique: vivid colours, emotion, motion, warm lighting
- Format: square (1024×1024), rendered as a character portrait
- Background: warm, cozy, medium-bright (no dark/no neon)
- Subject: a warm animal character representing the agent's role, with contextual elements (tools, symbols, objects)
- Palette: terracotta, amber, warm gold, coral, soft teal — warm and inviting
- Trigger word:
VectorPaintDaalmust be included at the start of the prompt
