Bots get list_hooks, pause_hook and delete_hook, which act directly since
they only take away. A new hook, or a new name, brief or filter, or
switching a paused one back on, goes through propose_hook: it stores a
hook_proposals row and puts a [hook-proposal:ID] card in the reply, which
the user it was proposed to confirms or rejects. The card is read from
what Confirm saves, with the bot's reason labelled as its own; confirming
checks everything again and saves through the Hooks modal's helpers. A
new hook's URL is shown on the card once, to the user only, never in the
outcome the bot is told. What calls a hook, its computers and its signing
are never proposed. Only chat replies propose, and a hook call's own run
gets no hook tools, so a caller's payload can't reach them.

A bot hook (bot_hooks) is a secret URL, POST /api/hooks/<token>, whose
calls queue the hook's brief plus the raw body as a task, per user and
bot like a routine. Only the token's hash is kept (shown once, rotatable);
an optional HMAC-SHA256 signing secret is stored encrypted. Calls are
rate limited per address and per hook, recorded in bot_hook_events
(pruned daily), deduplicated by delivery id, and a call while the last
run still waits joins its brief instead of queueing another. The payload
is fenced data and HookRunNote tells the bot never to take instructions
from it; failed runs retry like routines.
A hook can instead watch a computer's browser notifications: the app
installs a small watcher that owns org.freedesktop.Notifications on the
sandbox's session bus, so Chrome hands it every notification (it only
looks for that service at start-up, so Chrome is restarted once, never
mid-task), and it posts each one to its hooks, optionally filtered.
Computers reach the app at COMPUTER_APP_URL or the app container's name.
Users make hooks in the conversation's Hooks modal and manage them all
on /admin/routines; bots never create or change hooks.

A bot's instructions and memory for one workspace were only reachable
from the workspace's settings. The editor is now shared and also opens
from the conversation menu in that workspace ("Instructions here",
loaded on open through api/admin/workspaces/workspace-bot) and from the
workspace rows on the bot's settings page.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
The conversation header menu gets a Copy chat row that puts the active
session on the clipboard as one markdown document: a summary, then each
message under its author and time, with quotes, attachments and
reactions. Bot and workspace refs read as names, message headings drop
below the message headings and code blocks stay untouched. The clipboard
write starts on the click with a pending ClipboardItem so Safari allows
it after the fetch.

delegate_task takes a task_id to hand over a task already on a list: it
moves to the worker (a workspace's task stays on its list), goes to
doing, and the job is linked back so its end is noted on the task.
hand_over_schedule moves a bot's own routine to another bot, keeping its
workspace. Users get Hand over in the Tasks UI and both routine lists.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
A bot's powers came from bots.kind alone, so only the coordinator could
hand work to other bots. bot_types now works like user_types: a row with
no workspace holds everywhere (the coordinator), one with a workspace
only there (a workspace admin), and no row is a worker. bots.kind stays
the legacy marker of the one coordinator for who sees it.
The matrices in src/dict/bot-types-dict.ts say what each type may do,
whom it may direct and who grants it, read by one generic interpreter
(rbac/type-assignment.ts) that userTypeAssignment now wraps too. Every
run reads its powers once (grabBotRunPowers) and the chat tools, task
runs and task tools gate on them instead of kind; a run's powers are its
type's and its user's together.
In the workspace it leads, an admin hands tasks to the workers there
(results relayed back to it), sets their instructions, adds tasks to
their lists and keeps the workspace's context when its user may. Super
admins and admins grant it from the workspace's settings or the chat
header's menu, and the coordinator with set_bot_type. Admins are marked
with a filled green shield beside their name across the workspace, kept
live by pushBotUpdated's admin_workspace_ids.

- Coordinator tools in its own chat (super admin only): list_extensions,
set_extension_access, delete_extension, and update_skill /
update_mcp_server / update_custom_tool for what can't change where
anything is sent (on/off, names, arguments, left-out tools)
- Adding a skill, MCP server or tool, or changing a skill's words, a
server's URL or headers or a tool's kind or config, goes through
propose_skill / propose_mcp_server / propose_custom_tool: stored in
extension_proposals with the bot's background check, shown as a
[proposal:ID] chip that opens a card with Confirm and Reject
- The card's facts are worked out by the app from what Confirm saves: the
host, every {{env.KEY}} and whether it's saved, the config; for a skill
its links, hosts, tool names, mentions of secrets and a diff against
the saved runbook
- Confirming decides once and checks again; a server or tool missing a key
is saved switched off, and the outcome is posted to the bot in chat
- Never from a bot: stdio servers, a URL whose host a template decides,
envs in a prompt tool, a key's value

A reply read the session once at the start, so a message sent while it
ran was never seen, and the follow-up reply queued for it then finished
silently: the message was saved before the reply, so the thread ended
with the bot. Those messages went unanswered.
The text loop now reads new user messages after every round of tools and
before an answer goes out, and the bot decides from what each one means
whether it changes the work (folded in, or the unsent answer redrafted)
or is a separate request, which it acknowledges at once with the new
send_message tool and does after the current work. Messages sent that
way are marked interim, so the thinking row stays up while the bot
works. A reply job records the newest user message it read, and a queued
reply only stays silent when a finished reply already read everything.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Every bot message gets an info button that opens its details: the
provider and model behind it, tokens and cost, the job that ran it, each
model used and every call in order. Each model call now records how it
was made in token_usages.settings (generation settings sent, whose
settings they were, pinned or automatic model, fallbacks), shown per
model in the modal.
Live replies now carry their token usage, from the job's push and the
live relay alike, so it shows without a reload.

The conversation pages rendered their messages on the server, so a page
the back button restored from the back-forward cache showed an old
thread. The server now renders everything else (rail, header, composer)
and the history (active session, latest messages, active task) loads
from api/admin/bots/conversation-history once the page is on screen,
with a loading line under the header, and again on a pageshow restore.
Messages sent or pushed while it loads are merged with it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
A computer a bot names in a reply is now a button that opens it in the
shared computer viewer modal, the bot's own computer included (sunken and
checked, as before). Switching stays in the header's computers modal, so
the chip has one job. A computer the bot can no longer use stays a plain
name.
Sending a message while scrolled up left it out of sight: the thread only
ever anchored its bottom, so nothing brought the view down. The column now
follows new messages while it sits at the bottom, stays put while it's
scrolled up, and always brings a message the user just sent into view.
While the thread sits above its bottom, "Jump to latest" floats over it.
Whether the thread is at its bottom is read from where the content ends
rather than from `scrollTop`, whose sign a reversed column reports
differently across engines. Content that grows after it lands (an image,
a wider window) is followed too, so the newest message never slips under
the composer.
Nothing anywhere recorded what a model call cost: the harness used a
provider's usage numbers only to decide whether a turn had finished, then
dropped them. So a reply could not say what it took to make, one model
could not be compared with another on price, and there was no way to ask
what a day, a week or a month of the crew's work came to.
- `token_usages` records one row per call: user, bot, workspace, session,
job and message, the harness, the provider and model that actually
answered, the prompt and completion counts, and the cost when the
provider reports one.
- `harness-usage-scope.ts` carries those ids in an AsyncLocalStorage
scope that `run-bot-job.ts` enters once, so a run's turns, its session
summary, its transcriptions, images and embeddings are all attributed
without threading ids through every harness function. Nested runs merge
rather than replace, and a null genuinely clears a field (a bot's own
chat has no workspace).
- Work with no run behind it is charged to its owner instead:
`run-with-fallback-scope.ts` reaches the workspace's creator else the
bot's, and deliberately does not override a real run, so an ingest a
bot asked for is not misattributed to the bot's owner.
- All six harnesses record through `withCandidates`'s `on_success`.
Recording never throws: a model that answered must not lose its answer
to a failed insert.
- A job's calls land before its message exists, so `complete-bot-job.ts`
back-fills `message_id` once the message is inserted.
- The message's actions row shows what it cost, beside the timestamp and
the play button, with the breakdown in its title.
- `/admin/usage` totals the install's spending for 7, 30 or 90 days: the
total against the previous period, a day-by-day chart, a split per kind
of call, and a table per model with the price per thousand tokens
worked out from cost and tokens, which is what makes two models
comparable. Crew managers only, since it is the whole install's work
rather than one user's conversation. It sits with Routines and Activity
in the user popover rather than under Settings, because it is a record
of what happened, not something to configure.
Days are grouped in local time (`date(created_at / 1000, 'unixepoch',
'localtime')`), matching the local midnights the window builds and the
`YYYY-MM-DD` buckets it looks up. Grouping by the bare UTC day put a late
evening's calls under a name no bucket carried, so they vanished and the
chart's total silently disagreed with the totals card; a test pins it.
`canSeeRailItem` now decides who sees a popover or rail entry. The two
each filtered with their own inline rule and only one understood
`can_view`, so a gated page could be offered in the popover to everyone.
The thinking row and the header menu both carry Stop while a bot has work
open for the user anywhere: every pending or processing job of that bot in
their conversations is failed as stopped, its task closed, a Stopped step
recorded and one closing message posted per session, so the thread stops
waiting and the bot goes idle. The handler running the job is aborted from
this process through a registry, so a job stuck waiting on a model stops at
once instead of on its next heartbeat, and a late face change after the
abort is dropped.
The release stage is now said in the app too: Settings > General reports
"Cobble v0.1.5 (alpha)" next to development, and the README and RELEASING.md
say what alpha means for installs.
The header menu had Tasks but nothing for the schedules whose results
land in that conversation. It now has Schedules, right under Tasks,
opened in a modal that lists only what runs there: a bot's own chat holds
the routines that run nowhere, a workspace only that bot's routines in
it (`routineScopeSql`, tested against SQLite).
The list loads when the modal opens, through
`api/admin/bots/list-routines`, which checks the user chats in that
conversation first, so the page props stay small. `grabCronJobs` gained
an optional `workspace_id`: left out it still means everywhere.
The routines page's row, form and edit modal moved to
`src/components/general/`, and its subtitle to `src/utils/`, since both
the page and the modal use them.
The copy button sat on its own row above the group's time, costing a
line of vertical space for nothing. It now shares that row, left of the
timestamp, the way a bot message's actions already do. A file-only
message leaves no gap: only messages with text get a button, picked by
copyableMessages.
A skill is a runbook: a name, a unique slug, a one-line description of when
it applies, and the markdown body. A run only ever sees the slug and
description (one load_skill tool carries them), and reads the whole body
only when it calls the tool, so a long runbook costs nothing until needed.
Skills are the third extension kind beside MCP servers and custom tools, on
the same botExtensionsSql path, so per-bot, per-workspace and all-bots
grants work the same way, and attachDefaultExtensions hands an every-bot
skill to new bots. load_skill is a reserved tool name, so a custom tool
cannot shadow it, and a built-in wins a clash.
Managed on Settings > Skills; ExtensionRow links each kind to its own page
and a skill never reports a failure, since nothing connects or runs.
A bot's identity was one of seven hues, and the hue picked both its colour
and its stone shape. Now its colour is free and its stone is its own:
- `bots.color` holds any `#rrggbb`, `bots.stone` the flat-cut shape it's
drawn on. `bots.hue` stays as the palette column they replaced, read only
as a fallback; `src/scripts/move-bot-colour-to-owners.ts` backfills an
install from it (safe to rerun).
- `src/utils/bot-color.ts` is the only place a colour is validated or
resolved (`resolveBotColor`/`resolveBotStone` carry the old hue forward,
`botColorNeedsPaperFace` flips the eyes to paper on a very dark body), and
`src/utils/bot-stone-props.ts` gives every row its props, so a row saved
before this still renders as it did.
- `BotStone` takes the colour as the body's SVG `fill`, the one documented
exception to the token rule: an arbitrary hex has no token to point at.
`UnreadDot` follows it.
- The picker keeps the palette tiles (still shape and colour together) and
adds a native swatch and a hex field, so a custom colour keeps its stone.
Same place as before: the header avatar's modal and Settings > Bots, for
crew managers. The coordinator stays hue-less.
- A recolour reaches other open tabs through `pushBotUpdated`.
Bot and user messages get a quiet copy button under them: the copy icon becomes a check for a moment after it copies the message's text as stored, markdown and refs included. A message still on its way to the server can be copied too, though reply and reactions wait for its id. The async clipboard API is used where it exists and a hidden textarea where a plain HTTP install has none.
`/admin/bots` sent the super admin to the coordinator and everyone else to
their latest bot, which lost the thread each time the tab was reopened. The
conversation pages now record where the browser is in two HttpOnly cookies
(`cobble_last_visited_bot_id`, `..._workspace_id`, a year, `Secure` only over
HTTPS), and the landing page opens that conversation again, in its workspace
when it was one.
A stale cookie can't loop: `grabReachableConversation` re-checks it with
`grabUserConversation`, the gate the conversation pages use, so a revoked
grant, a deleted bot or an archived workspace falls back to the coordinator
(super admin) or the latest bot, first workspace, empty page. Signing out
clears both cookies so the next user on that browser doesn't land in the
previous one's conversation.
There is no public media any more. `/media/public/<id>` served a media
row with no session at all, so anyone with the id could read a file.
The public/private split is gone: the path is `/media/<id>` (and
`/media/<id>/thumbnail`), every request is signed in first, and
`grabUserMedia` decides whether the user may see it: their own upload,
a bot's or workspace's picture or file they reach, or a file on a task
they reach. Anything else is a 404 before a path is built.
The `media.is_private` column and the two per-user directories went
with it: uploads live in `media/<user_id>/` and there is nothing to
pick between. The files browser's media volume is now the viewer's
own folder whatever their role.
Bots also say which of the two things they mean. A `[file:ID]` ref is a
saved file and its chip opens the bytes; a folder is a new
`[folder:volume:owner:path]` ref (`src/utils/folder-ref.ts`) whose chip
opens the files browser there and downloads nothing. The old `[path:...]`
ref and the extension sniffing that guessed file from folder are gone,
so `import_file` names the folder holding a file it copied rather than
the file itself.
The prompts say what the Assistant got wrong: list before importing or
saving, one copy per artifact, never split a file into parts unless
asked, never claim the store is empty without a fresh list, and never
invent a size cap. A re-import now says the path already existed
instead of silently overwriting and reporting a fresh copy.
view.pasteText(text, event) re-asks every paste handler with the event it was given, so the composer's own handler replayed the paste until the stack overflowed (any rich paste from VS Code, Slack or a browser page). It now passes no event, and a ref keeps it from re-entering either way.
The plain-text decision moves to shouldPastePlainText with its own tests.
The rail header now sits in the standard 64px row with a hairline under
it, matching the pane headers, and shows the full logo off the chat
pages instead of the bare stone. A back button joins the conversation
and settings headers (workspace pages only for the conversation). The
rail's own back link and the dividers around it are switched off for now.
Also renames the bot and workspace Delete group to Danger Zone, lifts the
step budget to 50, and lets Logo render without its home link.
Both runners now pass the files a run wrote back into the reply, and a
computer file ref renders as a chip like a bot file ref does, so a
reply can point at what it produced instead of naming a path.
grab-conversation-files asked listBotFiles for the top level only, and a
bot saves into folders (reports/, seo/coderank/, tmp/...). The page
therefore carried none of the files a reply named, so every [file:ID]
chip rendered as dead plain text and the files could not be opened at
all: the bot had done the work and the user had no way to reach it.
The props now take the whole tree, and a chip that still isn't among
them (a message older than the page's first page of files) fetches its
one file by id, cached per id so a deleted one doesn't refetch on every
render.
import_file sent a computer's bytes back with base64 over /v1/shell/exec,
whose stdout is capped at 30,047 characters. Every import was therefore
cut at 22,528 bytes and saved anyway, with the tool reporting success: a
1.12 MiB archive became a 22 KB file that would not open, and a crawler's
crawl.json lost half its pages.
The bytes now come from the sandbox's streaming GET /v1/file/download.
The size is read first so nothing over BotFileImportMaxBytes is
transferred, the download asks for change_policy=abort so a file that
changes mid-send is refused rather than half-saved, and the received
length is checked against the size read, so a cut-short transfer fails
loudly. Folders go the same way, as a gzipped tar unpacked into one row
per file.
Bots also name a path as [path:volume:owner:path] now, so what a bot
leaves on a computer is a link into the files browser instead of text.
The task work added ref strings ([file:ID], [bot:3]) in new prompt and tool
files, so the warning about "file" not being a known CSS property came back:
Tailwind read them as arbitrary-property utilities and emitted `file: ID`.
The exclusion list now covers every server-side directory whole instead of
one file at a time (none of them holds a className, so nothing is lost), and
`dict` stays scanned for the static hue classes. The ref literals that must
live in scanned files are reworded in comments, and task-file-row builds its
chip through `fileRef` rather than its own template literal.
Bots and workspaces each keep a list of work tracked until it's done, and
the bots move it along themselves as they work.
- tasks (one collection per bot or per workspace), task_notes (the
progress log) and task_media (a deliverable or a reference file, its
bytes a private media row served at /media/private/<id>)
- statuses todo/doing/blocked/done/cancelled, with blocked_reason while
only the user can unblock it
- visibility as SQL in src/utils/task-access: a user's own bots and
workspaces, a run's own list plus its workspaces, everything for the
coordinator; every tool and endpoint resolves through it
- list_tasks, create_task and update_task on every run, so a chat reply,
a task and a routine all read the list, log progress and file what they
produced
- TasksNote on every run and TaskReminderNote in chat, so a greeting or a
proposed next step brings pending work up in one measured line
- tasks group on the workspace dashboard and a tasks modal in the
conversation header, sharing one form, row and detail panel
- a bot's or workspace's own chat uploads are read before the delete so
none are stranded; bot files keep their folder
Also corrects the README's RAM guidance and table alignment.
Tailwind read ref literals like [file:12] in prompts and docs as arbitrary-property utilities and emitted invalid CSS; those files hold no className, so they are excluded from the scan. Links in the user's ink bubble get a readable blue instead of the bubble's own ink, and the bubble no longer needs its own CSS class.
The chips under the composer clogged it once a bot had a handful of MCP servers and tools. They are now one button reading "N tools" (with an alert icon when one is off or not working) that opens them in a modal, where any the bot was given can still be removed and more added.
The header's sessions, new session, computers, models and settings icons
become rows in a single dropdown off an ellipsis on the right, so the
header keeps one control whatever width it has. A row that opens a modal
closes the menu first, so the modal never sits behind an open menu, and
each row shows what it acts on (the computer's name, the text model).
The app never terminates TLS: a reverse proxy or tunnel does, and
isSecureRequest still reads X-Forwarded-Proto so cookies stay Secure.
Removes the cert generator, TLS resolution and HTTP redirect, the
local CA download, and the TLS envs, and trims the installer, Dockerfile
health check and docs to match. Also softens the composer's loading row.
Bot and workspace lists in page props leave out instructions, memory and
workspace context, and carry the last message as a short preview. The
header avatar's edit form loads the bot's instructions when it opens.
The conversation renders its latest 30 messages and loads older ones as
the thread scrolls to its top.
Also: the composer shows a placeholder until its editor loads, and
`bun start` no longer builds first.

The composer now puts the bubble and clears the input as soon as you send, so a slow connection never holds either. The bot's status row reads "<name> is getting your message..." until the saved message arrives (by response or push), then switches to thinking. A failed send removes the bubble and restores the text and files.
- Cache the model catalog once per user and each conversation's setting
separately; clear both on logout and after model saves
- Compress hashed assets asynchronously with a byte budget and set Vary
- Memoize message parsing and throttle selection reads
- Debounce draft writes to localStorage
- Keep the composer editor on the page and focused, as before
- Add a bundle budget check and run it in CI
- Show a loading block while sessions load and a workspace avatar in the
mobile conversation header
- Compress responses: page scripts and styles once (brotli or gzip, in
memory) and cached immutable; pages and API JSON gzipped as they stream
- Service worker serves content-named assets cache-first
- Load the models modal's data when it opens (cached in localStorage)
instead of shipping the model catalog in every conversation page
- Lazy-load the Tiptap composer and memoize thread messages
- Import lucide icons directly; twui 0.1.4 drops by-name icons from Button
- bun run start builds the pages minified before serving

The composer now writes markdown with bold, italic, strike, code,
links, quotes and lists, from shortcuts, markdown typing or a bubble
over the selection. @ mentions a bot and # a workspace, shown as chips
and saved as [bot:ID] / [workspace:ID]. Text selected in a message can
be quoted into the composer. User messages render as markdown, and
replies tell the bot who and what the user mentioned.
Adds an ESM stand-in for use-sync-external-store, since bunext keeps
React external in page bundles and the CommonJS original requires it.

The user's own messages no longer get the reply and react row. A bot's
reaction to one still shows, read-only, and react-message refuses a
reaction on the user's own message.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Every message has a row under it to reply or react. Replying quotes the
message above the composer, and the sent message stores
reply_to_message_id (a plain id, not a foreign key, so deleting the
quoted message only drops the quote). send-message accepts a quote from
any session of the same conversation, so a rollover or a thread that
moved on still sends; the conversation drops a picked quote when its
session changes. The bot reads the quote as "[Replying to ...]" before
the user's turn, file-only replies included, and relayed messages carry
it too.
Reactions are a fixed set (BotMessageReactions) in
bot_message_reactions, one per message, emoji and user or bot. Users
toggle their own through api/admin/bots/react-message, and every bot
gets react_to_message for the session it answers (the user's latest
message by default). Both push the fresh list as server:bot-reaction,
with mine worked out for the session's user.

The Speech section of every model settings form now has "Hear a
sample", which streams a short sentence (AppData.VoicePreviewText) in
the form's model and voice before they're saved, through
GET api/admin/harness/preview-voice (super admins and admins, that
model only via grabModelCandidate). pickVoice is shared with
speakText, and explainAudioError reads why a streamed player failed
for both read-aloud and the sample.

The timestamp no longer takes its own line under a bot group: it sits
before the read-aloud button on the last message, after the needs-you
chip when there is one.

- A mic in the composer records, transcribes with the bot's
transcription model (api/admin/bots/transcribe) and writes the text
into the input at the cursor to edit before sending. Escape cancels;
recordings aren't stored.
- Every bot message has a read-aloud button that plays
GET api/admin/bots/speak-message, streamed from the provider as the
audio is made, so it starts in a couple of seconds. One message plays
at a time; only the user's own sessions can be read.
- Both buttons stay visible but disabled while the bot has no model for
them (bot_voice page prop).
- Transcription and speech no longer pick free models automatically:
they're not available until a model is picked, and Settings says so.
Transcription lists speech-to-text models only, so the chat-model
transcript path and its missing-audio check are gone.

The input row had a fixed 88px height, so a growing textarea overflowed
into the thread and tools strip. It now has a minimum height, grows to
eight lines then scrolls, keeps the buttons at the bottom, and falls back
to a JS auto-grow where field-sizing isn't supported. A click anywhere on
the row focuses the input.
