Open computers from the chat, let bots ask for a take-over, show task progress

- Serve each computer to its owner under /computers/<id>/ (HTTP and
  websockets proxied to the AIO sandbox) and show it in a shared
  ComputerView with browser, terminal and code modes, opened from the
  computers modal or a take-over button in the thread.
- ask_user_to_take_over lets a bot hand a computer to the user for a
  login or captcha; the message gets a take-over button and needs-you,
  and the viewer hands it back with a chat message.
- While a task runs the thread shows "<bot> is working..." with the
  task's latest step; steps read as plain words, not tool names.
- A coordinator with no workers no longer claims to delegate, and bots
  describe started tasks in the first person.

- **Routes:** `/admin/bots` ensures the coordinator and redirects to its chat (`/admin/bots/1` on a fresh install); `/admin/bots/[bot_id]` renders the conversation (header, thread and composer, the last two held to 760px; there is no right panel); `/admin/bots/[bot_id]/models` is a worker bot's own model settings (the coordinator's redirects to its chat). Both render in the full-bleed `src/layouts/bots/` layout (rail of conversations + user popover), which `__root.tsx` uses for every `/admin/*` page.
- **Server:** `src/functions/backend/db/bots/` (`grab-bots`, `grab-bot-messages`, `grab-active-bot-task`, `grab-user-bot`, `mark-bot-read`, `insert-user-message`). `api/admin/bots/send-message.ts` posts a user message to a bot owned by the session user (zod: `src/schemas/bot-schema.ts`), queues the bot's reply (`enqueueBotReply`) and wakes the queue (`src/bots-queue/wake-bots-queue.ts`; never import `src/bots-queue/index.ts` from a page or API route, it pulls the bunext runtime into the page bundles). `upload-attachment.ts` stores one file for the next message (private `media` row, paradigm `bot-attachment`, type from `attachmentFileKind`, documents get `text_content`, limits in `AppData.BotAttachment*`) and `send-message` takes their `media_ids` (checked to be the user's own by `grabAttachableMedia`), linked in `bot_message_media`; messages carry `attachments` (`BotMessageWithAttachments`). `mark-read.ts` clears unread for a message that arrives in the open conversation; `save-harness-settings.ts` saves a worker bot's models.
- **Message rendering:** bot messages are markdown, rendered with `react-markdown` + `remark-gfm` (raw HTML never rendered) through the twui-based map in `[bot_id]/(data)/message-markdown-components.tsx` (`markdown-link`, `markdown-list`, `markdown-code-block` partials). User messages stay plain text.
- **Attachments and thinking:** the composer uploads files as they're picked, pasted or dropped (`use-composer-attachments`), shows them as chips, and sends once none is still uploading; the thread shows images as thumbnails and other files as chips. Replies read the files of the last `BotReplyAttachmentMessages` messages with any (`load-attachment-parts.ts`: images and audio as parts, documents as their text up to `BotAttachmentMaxTextChars`, videos as a note); older ones are only named. Tasks don't get the files yet. While a reply runs (face `working`, status `BotReplyJobTitle`) or waits for a model (`BotWaitingStatusLine`), `BotThinkingRow` sits under the last message. Live notices come from the process that ran the job at once, and from every other process through the live relay.

Tasks don't get the files yet. While a reply runs (face `working`, status `BotReplyJobTitle`) or waits for a model (`BotWaitingStatusLine`), `BotThinkingRow` sits under the last message; while a task runs it reads "<name> is working…" with the task's latest step. A coordinator with no workers gets `CoordinatorSoloNote` instead of `CoordinatorReplyNote`, so it never claims to have handed work to a worker. Live notices come from the process that ran the job at once, and from every other process through the live relay.
- **Avatars:** `BotStone` (`src/components/general/bot-stone.tsx`) renders the stone inline from `src/data/stone-geometry.ts`, hue as a fill token, face (`idle|working|done|asleep|needs-you`) drawn as eyes. The coordinator is hue-less (ink body, paper eyes; inverts in dark). Never put a stone in a circle/badge or add outline/shadow. Wordmark is vector (`Wordmark`, `src/data/wordmark-paths.ts`), never live text.
- **Copy helpers:** `src/utils/crew-status.ts` (`3 working · 1 needs you`, "Three bots are working. One needs you."), `src/utils/relative-time.ts` (relative timestamps only).
- **Prompt and memory (self-learning):** a bot has `system_prompt` (core instructions) and a separate `memory` (markdown, what it must always remember). The bot rewrites both as it adapts to the user (`update-bot-system-prompt`, `update-bot-memory` in `src/functions/backend/db/bots/`; whole-text replace, capped at `AppData.PromptMaxLength`). `grab-bot-prompt` builds the full prompt via `composeBotPrompt` (`src/utils/compose-bot-prompt.ts`): core instructions, then each non-archived workspace's `system_prompt` under `# Workspace: <name>`, then `# Memory`.
- **Queue:** every bot job goes through `bots_queue`, with `kind` (`BotJobKinds`): `reply` (answers the user in chat, no task row) or `task` (long-running work, typically on a computer). Long-running work goes through `bots_queue`, a bun-sqlite `isQueue` table worked with the native `BunSQLite.queue` API (`status` pending|processing|completed|failed, `attempts`, `available_at`, `locked_at`/`locked_by`, `last_error`; options in `AppData.BotQueue*`). Not every message needs a job: the bot replies right away that it's on it and `enqueueBotJob` queues the brief (`instructions`, `params`, optional `message_id`/`computer_id`, the computer checked against the bot's access; a `bot_tasks` row is created unless `task_id` is given). DB helpers in `src/functions/backend/db/bots-queue/`: `claimBotJobs`, `updateBotJob` (renews the lock, saves `progress`/`checkpoint`; false once lost or cancelled), `completeBotJob` (result message, task done, face done/needs-you), `failBotJob` (backoff retry, or `fatal`; out of attempts posts a needs-you message via `notifyBotJobFailed`), `cancelBotJob` (failed with `BotJobCancelledError`, `src/dict/bot-queue-dict.ts`), `releaseWorkerBotJobs`. Every model turn of a job is a step in `bots_queue_updates` (`kind` tool|note, one-line `text`, JSON `metadata`; tool names, never arguments; `describe-job-step.ts`), written through the job context's `report` (the text loop's `onStep`), which also sets `progress` and pushes `server:bot-job-update` (`BotJobUpdateData`). Steps are deleted with their job when it's pruned. The active task's latest `AppData.BotJobUpdatesShown` steps ride on `BotTaskWithSteps.updates` (`grabBotJobUpdates`); nothing in the UI shows them since the working-on panel was removed.
- **Queue:** every bot job goes through `bots_queue`, with `kind` (`BotJobKinds`): `reply` (answers the user in chat, no task row) or `task` (long-running work, typically on a computer). Long-running work goes through `bots_queue`, a bun-sqlite `isQueue` table worked with the native `BunSQLite.queue` API (`status` pending|processing|completed|failed, `attempts`, `available_at`, `locked_at`/`locked_by`, `last_error`; options in `AppData.BotQueue*`). Not every message needs a job: the bot replies right away that it's on it and `enqueueBotJob` queues the brief (`instructions`, `params`, optional `message_id`/`computer_id`, the computer checked against the bot's access; a `bot_tasks` row is created unless `task_id` is given). DB helpers in `src/functions/backend/db/bots-queue/`: `claimBotJobs`, `updateBotJob` (renews the lock, saves `progress`/`checkpoint`; false once lost or cancelled), `completeBotJob` (result message, task done, face done/needs-you), `failBotJob` (backoff retry, or `fatal`; out of attempts posts a needs-you message via `notifyBotJobFailed`), `cancelBotJob` (failed with `BotJobCancelledError`, `src/dict/bot-queue-dict.ts`), `releaseWorkerBotJobs`. Every model turn of a job is a step in `bots_queue_updates` (`kind` tool|note, one-line `text`, JSON `metadata`; tool names, never arguments; `describe-job-step.ts`), written through the job context's `report` (the text loop's `onStep`), which also sets `progress` and pushes `server:bot-job-update` (`BotJobUpdateData`). Steps are deleted with their job when it's pruned. The active task's latest `AppData.BotJobUpdatesShown` steps ride on `BotTaskWithSteps.updates` (`grabBotJobUpdates`); the conversation (`bot_task` page prop, `use-task-progress`) shows the latest one under `BotThinkingRow`'s "<name> is working…" while a task runs. Step text is the first line the model wrote, else plain labels for its tools (`JobStepToolLabels` in `src/dict/bot-queue-dict.ts`).
- **Queue handler:** `src/bots-queue/index.ts`, started from `server.ts` after cron and gated the same way. It releases its own cut-off jobs on startup (stable worker `AppData.BotQueueWorker`), then polls every `BotQueuePollMs`: reports jobs bun-sqlite failed on a lock timeout (`report-lost-bot-jobs`), claims per kind (`claimBotJobs` mirrors bun-sqlite's atomic claim plus `kind`, since `queue.claim` has no filter) up to `BotQueueReplyConcurrency` replies and `BotQueueConcurrency` tasks on separate slots, and runs each with `processBotJob` (heartbeat at a quarter of the lock timeout, abort on cancel/loss, one task per computer and one reply per bot via `createKeyLock`, face `working` once it starts, outcome pushed live). The actual work is `run-bot-job.ts` (`BotJobRunner`, context in `types.ts`), which dispatches to `run-bot-reply.ts` and `run-bot-task.ts`. Throw `BotJobFatalError` for failures retrying can't fix. When every model is resting (`HarnessError.resting`, nothing was tried) the job is put back with `deferBotJob` until the first comes back, its attempt refunded and the bot's face `asleep`; other retryable harness errors retry no sooner than their `retry_at`. The `prune-bots-queue` cron deletes finished jobs after `BotQueueRetentionDays`.
- **Live updates:** server push only. `sendToUser` (`src/websocket/(functions)/send-to-user.ts`) sends to one user's sockets; `pushBotNotice` sends `server:bot-message` (the message row, user messages too, for other tabs) and `server:bot-updated` (`BotUpdatedData`: face, status line, active task). The bots layout opens one socket (twui `useWebSocket`); components listen with `useServerEvent` (`src/hooks/`), and `useLiveBots` keeps the rail and header current. The conversation dedupes messages by id. Every process also runs `liveRelay` (`src/live-relay/`): every `AppData.LiveRelayPollMs` it reads new `bot_messages`, new `bots_queue_updates` and changed bots from the database and pushes them to its own sockets, so work done by another process still shows live; clients drop what they already have. `server:bot-updated` carries the bot's `computer_id` when known, which keeps the header's computer in step across tabs. A rail row's subtitle is the bot's status line while it has one, else (coordinator) the crew counts while a worker is busy or needs you, else its last message as plain text (`src/utils/message-preview.ts`).
- **Workspaces:** `workspaces` (per user, `name`, `description`, `system_prompt` shared by every bot in it, `archived`), with bots assigned through `workspace_bots` and computers through `workspace_computers`. Helpers in `src/functions/backend/db/workspaces/` (`create-workspace`, `update-workspace`, `add/remove-bot-*`, `add/remove-computer-*`), all ownership-checked against the session user.
- **Computers:** a computer is an AIO sandbox in its own docker container on the `AppData.DockerNetworkName` network. `containers` records every docker container the app knows about except the main app container (`name` doubles as the hostname, plus `docker_id`, `image`, `network`, `port`, `status`, `metadata`). `computers` (per user, `kind` main|sandbox, `container_id`) and `bot_computers` (direct access). Each user has one main computer, recorded with the account (signup, `bun run seed`) and as a fallback by `/admin/bots` via `ensureMainComputer` (`src/functions/backend/db/computers/ensure-main-computer.ts`, idempotent), which also records its container (`AppData.MainComputerContainerName`, created by the installer) and grants the coordinator access. That one grant can't be removed (`isLockedComputerAccess`, enforced in `remove-bot-from-computer` and the `bot_computers` CRUD handler); every other grant can. A bot's effective computers (`grab-bot-computers`) are its direct grants plus every computer assigned to a non-archived workspace it's in (the coordinator's are all of the user's computers), the one it's on first: `bots.computer_id` (not a foreign key; null or a lost grant means its main one), so `computers[0]` is where its tasks run by default. The user switches it from the chat header (`(partials)/bot-computers-modal.tsx`, a ghost icon beside the model icon; the header names the current computer and the text model and provider under the bot's name) or by clicking a computer the bot named in a message: bots write `[computer:ID]` (`src/utils/computer-ref.ts`, turned into `#computer-ID` links by `link-computer-refs.ts`, rendered by `(partials)/computer-ref-chip.tsx`), both sharing `BotComputersContext` / `use-bot-computers`, saved by `api/admin/bots/set-computer.ts` (`setBotComputer`). Enums in `src/dict/computer-dict.ts`.
- **Opening a computer:** the app serves each computer to its owner under `/computers/<id>/` (`ComputerProxyPrefix`): `src/server.ts` hands those paths to `handleComputerProxy` (`src/functions/server/computers/`: `userAuth`, ownership via `grabUserComputer`, then the sandbox's address from `grabComputerMcpUrl`), which fetches plain requests (app session cookies dropped, `X-Forwarded-Host/Proto/Prefix` set so the sandbox builds its links and CDP address under the prefix, framing headers and redirects fixed) and bridges websockets (`computerProxySocket`, dispatched from `src/websocket/` when `ws.data.proxy` is set). `ComputerView` (`src/components/general/computer-view.tsx`) shows a computer in one of `ComputerViewModes` (browser `/browser-ui`, terminal `/terminal`, code `/code-server/`; more of the sandbox's apps can be added there), keeping visited modes loaded. In the chat, `(partials)/computer-viewer-modal.tsx` shows it, opened from a computer card's open button in the computers modal or a take-over button (`openComputer` on `BotComputersContext`).
- **Take-over:** a bot asks the user to take over a computer with `ask_user_to_take_over` (`src/harness/tools/computer/ask-to-take-over-tool.ts`, chat replies and tasks, defaulting to the task's computer). It writes `[take-over:ID:mode]` (`src/utils/take-over-ref.ts`; `withTakeOverRefs` adds it if the bot left it out and flags the message needs-you), linked by `link-computer-refs.ts` and rendered by `(partials)/take-over-chip.tsx`. The viewer then offers "Hand back to <bot>", which sends a chat message so the bot carries on; a task stops and reports instead of waiting.
- **Not built yet:** add-bot flow, routines, help, task steps (nothing writes `bot_task_steps` yet).

- **Automatic picks** (`rank-auto-models`): free models that can do the job (on the setting's provider when it has one; a provider without free models needs a picked model) (`model-serves-harness`: text needs tools), by vendor `AutoModelVendorPreference` (DeepSeek, Qwen, NVIDIA, Liquid), then other vendors that look competent (`AppData.HarnessAutoMin*`), then routers; within a vendor by intelligence index, then full-size before small, newest first. Transcription puts real speech-to-text models first.
- **Calling:** `resolveHarnessCandidates` (pinned, then automatic) -> `withCandidates` tries them in order with process-wide cooldowns (`resolve/harness-cooldowns.ts`): rate limits and outages rest the model (until `Retry-After` when given), 401/402 rest the whole provider, 403/404 rest the model for an hour. Errors are `HarnessError` (`code` provider|unavailable|aborted, `retryable`), classified in `to-harness-error.ts`. Entry points: `text/generate-text.ts` (one turn), `text/run-text-loop.ts` (tool loop, sticks to one model, wraps up after `HarnessMaxToolSteps`, trims the oldest tool output before each turn to fit the model's context, `fit-transcript-to-context.ts`), `media/read-image.ts`, `media/read-media.ts` (documents locally via `fileToText`, images and audio through their harnesses), `audio/transcribe-audio.ts`, `audio/speak-text.ts`, `image/generate-image.ts`. A text model that can't take an image or audio part gets it read by the vision/transcription harness first (`prepare-messages-for-model.ts`).
- **Per-bot models:** a worker bot inherits the defaults per harness unless it has a `bot_harness_settings` row (same fields as `harness_settings`, unique per bot and harness). `grabHarnessSetting({ harness, bot_id })` returns the bot's row (`source: "bot"`) or the default; the coordinator always gets the default. Every entry point takes `bot_id` and passes it on (text loop -> media reading/transcription), so a bot's run uses its own models throughout. Saved by `saveBotHarnessSetting` (`inherit` deletes the row); the page data is `grabBotHarnessOverview`. A bot's chat header has a ghost model icon (`(partials)/header-icon-button.tsx`; the text model and provider show under the bot's name) that opens a modal with every harness (`(partials)/bot-models-modal.tsx`); the modal and `/admin/bots/[bot_id]/models` both use `(partials)/bot-harness-form.tsx`. On the coordinator the modal edits the defaults themselves (`api/admin/harness/save-settings`, the same settings as Settings, under Models, without the providers): super admins only, the icon is disabled for everyone else. Every one of these wraps `settings/models/(partials)/harness-settings-form.tsx`: per harness a provider select first (`harness-provider-select.tsx`: any provider, one provider, or on a bot "Same as the default"), then the model select narrowed to it. Removing a provider (`deleteHarnessProvider`) puts default and bot settings that picked it or its models back on any provider (`save` prop; "Same as the default" shows when the overview item has `default`).
- **Tools:** `HarnessTool` (built per run with its bot bound): own tools validate with a zod `schema`; tools described elsewhere pass a JSON schema as `parameters` and validate themselves. `run-tool-call.ts` reports bad calls and failures back to the model as `Error: ...`. Bot tools in `src/harness/tools/bot/`: `update_memory`, `update_instructions` (`grabBotTools`, every run), `start_task` and, for the coordinator with workers, `delegate_task` (`grabBotChatTools`, chat replies only; the job's `requested_by_bot_id` is the coordinator, and `relayJobToRequester` posts the worker's result or failure in its conversation, pushed as `relay` by `pushBotNotice`), plus for the coordinator `assign_computer` (grant or revoke a worker's direct access, `add/remove-bot-to/from-computer`; access through a workspace stays and the result says so). `search_computers` (`src/harness/tools/computer/search-computers-tool.ts`, chat replies and tasks) runs one read-only command on all of a bot's computers at once over the sandbox REST API (`run-computer-command.ts`), each output under its `[computer:ID]`, secrets redacted, capped by `AppData.ComputerSearch*`.

- **MCP:** `src/harness/mcp/`: `connectMcpServer` (Streamable HTTP, SSE fallback), `grabMcpTools` (each server tool becomes a `HarnessTool` with its JSON schema), `mcpResultToText` (text as is, images read by the vision harness, `isError` thrown). Computers are reached this way: `openComputerTools` (`src/harness/tools/computer/`) connects to the computer's AIO sandbox at `grabComputerMcpUrl` (container `metadata.mcp_url`, else the `MAIN_COMPUTER_URL` app setting for the main computer, for a dev server outside docker, e.g. `http://localhost:8170`, else `http://<hostname>:<port>/mcp`), leaves out `ComputerMcpExcludedTools`, and sets the computer's envs (see Envs).
- **Replies and tasks:** `run-bot-reply.ts` answers from the last `BotReplyHistoryMessages` messages (`botMessagesToHarness`) with `ChatReplyNote`, the bot's computers (`compose-computers-note.ts`: what they are and that they're reached through `start_task`) and the chat tools, at most `BotReplyMaxToolSteps` steps, and finishes silently if the bot already had the last word (`enqueueBotReply` reuses a pending reply, so a burst of messages gets one). `run-bot-task.ts` runs the brief (`compose-job-brief.ts`) with `TaskRunNote`, the bot tools and the job's computer tools, closing the MCP connection after. Retryable harness errors go back to the queue's backoff, the rest are `BotJobFatalError`.
- **API:** `api/admin/harness/` (`save-provider` also syncs, `sync-provider`, `delete-provider`, `save-settings`), super admin only, each returning the fresh `grabHarnessOverview()` page data.
