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.

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.

The trail is twui's Breadcrumbs reading Home, the sections and the page
off the address, rendered as the first thing in SettingsShell's content
column, so every page that is not a conversation gets one without a page
touching it.
The last crumb is named by the page's own title rather than the address:
a record reads Scout instead of its id, /admin/logs reads Activity, and
/admin/settings/mcps reads MCPs. That replaces the breadcrumb_title prop
the four settings record pages had to pass, so settings-breadcrumbs.tsx
goes.
hasBreadcrumbTrail drops the trail on the crew of bots, home, and on
anything outside /admin; the trailing slash and query string are ignored,
so a folder in the files browser keeps the trail of the page it is on.
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.
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`.
Settings > Backups gains a whole-data archive beside the database
snapshots, and both lists now fully work from the page.
- Data archives: `write-data-backup-archive.ts` tars all of DATA_DIR into
BACKUP_ARCHIVE_DIR as cobble-data-<epoch-ms>.tar.gz, every entry under one
root folder named after the archive, writing a .part name and renaming on
success so a cut-off run is never listed. The newest
AppData.DataBackupsKept are kept; db/.backups is left as it is.
- Restore: `restore-data-backup.ts` extracts to a temp dir, requires one
root folder holding a db folder, takes a safety archive first, then
replaces DATA_DIR (the database snapshots included) and `restart-app.ts`
restarts the process through the docker socket, since the open SQLite
handle points at the replaced file.
- Upload and restore: a modal over each list (database file or data
archive), replacing the old /admin/settings/backups/restore page.
- Delete for both kinds, icon-only row actions shared through
RowIconButton, and restore on every row.
- One backup or restore of either kind at a time (with-backup-run-lock).
- BACKUP_ARCHIVE_DIR is a start-up path (ProcessOnlyEnvKeys); the installer
mounts $COBBLE_HOME/backups-archives at /backups-archives and recreates a
container that lacks it. The image installs tar and gzip.
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.
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.
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.
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).
A production deploy leaves its service worker on the device, and it
claims every tab. It serves /.bunext/public/* cache first without
knowing which build asked, while every cache-busting mechanism the app
has (the precache gate, /build-info.json, the loading page) is
production only. So switching to `bun run dev` kept serving the old
build, vendor files included, and wrote the dev files back into the
production build's cache.
Development now clears that worker and every cache it wrote
(`clear-development-service-worker.ts`, from ServiceWorkerRegistrar,
which did nothing in development before), reloads once into the
uncontrolled tab, and /sw.js answers with a stub that unregisters
itself so Web Push and the loading page can't register it back.
- 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

Show the latest five sessions under the active bot, with All sessions opening the existing modal once there are more. Share the session modal, row and hook outside the conversation page, and mark the current session with a muted row.
Add a generated manifest, icon set, offline page and service worker that never caches authenticated HTML, plus install and update UI. Turn the rail into a drawer below md with container-query internals, dvh and safe-area handling, and reconnect the socket after visibility/network changes. Add Web Push subscriptions, presence-aware delivery, notification settings and tests.
- Bots and workspaces get tools and MCP servers from their settings
pages; bots also from chips under the chat composer, removable there
- "Every bot" now gives one to every bot now and every new bot; each can
still drop it (attach-every-bot-extensions.ts moves old installs over)
- Status lines: MCP servers record whether they connect, tools whether
their last run worked
- Test connection in the MCP form and a Test panel in the tool form check
the form as it is, without saving
- Hide Google sign-in on the login form

Two new settings pages, MCPs and Tools. Super admins define them; super
admins and admins attach them to bots, to workspaces (every bot there),
or to every bot. Bots get them in chat replies and tasks.
- Custom tools: a JSON-schema of arguments plus an HTTP request, a script
on the bot's computer, or a prompt, templated with {{args.x}} and
{{env.KEY}}, secrets redacted from results.
- MCP servers: remote (URL and headers) or stdio commands run on the host
with a setup command and an isolated env, in a per-process pool. Tools
are listed into a cache and connect on first call.
- Add, edit, access and try open in modals.
- Markdown, JSON and command fields use twui's AceEditor (CodeEditor),
its scripts loaded on demand.

- Computers get CPUs and memory (default 1 CPU, 2 GB), set at creation and
editable; new resources stop, remove and recreate the container, its home
dir kept. Every computer container has a docker health check and stays
"creating" until it passes; only healthy computers are reached, by
hostname, else by their IP on the network (dev outside docker).
- Docker is required: the app creates the cobble network on startup and
exits without docker.
- Production container: deploy/run-app-container.sh mounts .env, the data
dir and the docker socket; the database (DB_DIR), media, computers' homes
and bun-sqlite's live schema now live on the data volume.
- Settings pages for bots, workspaces, computers and users, sharing list
components; bots can be deleted; users are created with a password and
confirmation, edited and deleted through RBAC-gated APIs.
- User types trimmed to super_admin, admin, member, read_only and revoked;
admins manage members. UserAvatar shows profile photos from the user row.

- Rail: Add icon with stacked form modals (bot, workspace, computer),
coordinator, recent bots with "See all bots", Workspaces section, and
a workspace mode listing only its crew
- Workspaces: page for context, bots (per-workspace instructions and
memory), computers (default, link, unlink), models and delete;
conversations scoped per bot per workspace
- Sessions: conversations split into searchable, reopenable sessions
with carry-over summaries; sessions and new-session header icons
- Computers: created and provisioned over the docker socket, home dir
kept at DATA_DIR/computers/<id> after delete; super admins only
- Models: workspace settings win over a bot's own, then the defaults
- Pictures for bots and workspaces; bots editable from the header
- Coordinator tools: update_workspace, set_bot_workspace_instructions

- 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.

UserAvatar (src/components/general/user-avatar.tsx) replaces the
profile page's ProfileAvatar and the rail's initials chip, so the rail
shows the user's photo too.

Local, password-only auth:
- No public pages; everything outside /admin and /auth redirects in
- First run (no users) sends every page to /auth/signup, which creates
the super admin (user #1) once and then locks
- Login is email/username + password; removed the emailed-code flow,
/auth/sso and email password reset
- Google login kept for existing accounts only, never creates them
- seed-super-admin now requires SEED_SUPER_ADMIN_PASSWORD
Bots-first admin:
- /admin and closed sections (people, logs, backups) redirect to
/admin/bots; only bots and settings are live (AdminSections)
- Removed the old admin layout; every /admin page uses the bots rail
- Coordinator bot created at signup/seed and by /admin/bots
(ensureCoordinatorBot), which redirects to its chat
- bots.system_prompt (markdown) with a default coordinator prompt
- seed-bots reuses the existing coordinator
Settings:
- Sub pages general (default), profile, change-password, listed in the
rail with a back link; unknown settings paths redirect to general
- Redesigned settings UI: pane header, grouped rows, sticky save bar
- General: System/Light/Dark theme, saved per device
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- Remove the preset document suite (letters, emails, invoices, quotes,
PDF generation, line items) with its routes, API handlers and tables
- Rebrand to Cobble: site data, Lato, handoff design tokens (light and
dark) in main.css, brand assets in public/brand, ember stone logo and
regenerated favicons
- Add bots, bot_messages, bot_tasks and bot_task_steps tables, regenerate
DB types (BUN_SQLITE_COBBLE_*) and add a sample crew seed (seed:bots)
- Add the chat shell at /admin/bots: rail with pinned coordinator and
user popover, bottom-anchored conversation with composer, working-on
panel, and a send-message API scoped to the session user
- Add BotStone and Wordmark components, crew status and relative time
utils with tests, and update AGENTS.md
