startDataBackupRun already holds the backup run lock, but the archive
(createDataBackup) and restoreDataBackup took it again, so every run
failed a few seconds in with "Another backup or restore is already
running". The writer and the restore now take no lock of their own.
The run's notice (archiving, restoring, or why it failed) moves to its
own line under the actions row so the buttons don't shift, and archiving
reads in gray rather than the warning colour.

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.

A data archive or restore ran inside its request, which sent nothing
until tar finished: Bun closes a silent socket after 10s (its default
idleTimeout in production) and a proxy cuts it at about 100s, so the
page showed a network error while the archive kept going, and a retry
said another backup was already running.
The routes now start the run (startDataBackupRun, refused while the
backup lock is held) and answer at once. The page follows it by polling
api/admin/backups/data-status: an archive reloads once written, a
restore once the status comes from a new process after its restart,
and a failure shows its error. A run in progress survives a reload.

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 two limits were compiled in: a task run stopped at
AppData.HarnessMaxToolSteps (200) and a chat reply at
AppData.BotReplyMaxToolSteps (8), so an install that needed a longer task
had to rebuild.
Both are now `app_settings` rows (`harness_max_tool_steps` and
`bot_reply_max_tool_steps`), read at the two loop call sites through
grabHarnessMaxToolSteps and grabReplyMaxToolSteps, and edited by the super
admin on Settings > General beside the prompt appendix. Zero clears a
limit back to the code default, like the bot file quota.
readStepLimit keeps the saved number only when it is a whole number of at
least 1 and no more than AppData.BotStepLimitMax (1000), so a blank, a
zero or a typo falls back instead of stopping every run before its first
turn, and a huge number still ends in the wrap-up report.
runTextLoop keeps AppData.HarnessMaxToolSteps as its default, so it stays
free of database reads and its tests run as they did.
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.
A new super admin settings page, /admin/settings/database, lists every
table with its record count and size, and one page of the open table's
records newest key first. Values are cut inside SQL (400 characters, with
a flag saying so) and a record opens whole in a modal, so a table of long
texts reads without shipping it all. A search matches every column's
text, word by word or as a phrase, which is the one thing that also works
on a virtual table. Nothing in it writes: the catalog, the records and
the single record are all reads, GET only.
The General page ends with a Version block naming the release this
server runs, so an update can be confirmed from the app.
The version is COBBLE_VERSION, the release tag the image was built with
(Dockerfile ARG, passed by the release workflow, which falls back to
package.json's version on a workflow-dispatch build), else package.json's
version, which a development server reports too, with (development)
after it. runningVersion (src/utils/running-version.ts) drops an
unusable version string rather than showing it.
Also includes the working tree's pending signup guard in
src/pages/__root.server.ts: a user who still holds a session while the
install has no users is sent to /auth/logout (and may load it).
Give each env row its own horizontal padding so the key lines up with the
group's other content, and reflow the props and description literals in
env-row and envs-group.
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`.
The install-wide appendix now uses the shared CodeEditor (AceEditor,
markdown mode) instead of a plain textarea, discarding by remounting the
editor with the saved text. The storage quota field moves to the twui
0.1.6 number input, so the dependency is bumped with it.
Settings > General gains a prompt appendix the super admin sets once:
markdown every bot runs with, right after its own core instructions.
- The text lives in app_settings (bot_system_prompt_append, read through
grabSystemPromptAppend, cached like every app setting), so it changes
without a deploy and applies to every bot on the next run.
- composeBotPrompt takes an appendix and pushes it as
# Install-wide instructions directly after system_prompt, before the
workspace block and memory, so the bot's own more specific rules still
win. grabBotPrompt feeds it in, so chat replies, tasks, scheduled runs
and the coordinator all get it with no call site touched.
- api/admin/settings/system-prompt-append saves it (super admin only,
capped at AppData.PromptMaxLength, empty clears it) and is audit
logged under system.
- The section and its form are hidden from everyone but the super admin,
save in place with a character count and no reload, and say what an
empty text does.
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.
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.
Envs had three scopes, general, workspace and computer. A bot had no
scope of its own, so the only way to give one worker a key was to set it
on a computer it happened to share.
The envs table gets a bot_id, and resolution now layers bot over
computer over workspace over general, so a bot's own key wins wherever it
runs. Every computer call site passes the run's bot_id, and grabRunEnvs
does the same for the {{env.KEY}} a custom tool or an MCP server's headers
read.
A bot's and a workspace's settings page can now edit their own envs, in
place, through the same save-env and delete-env routes: sending `scoped`
makes them answer with just that scope instead of the whole install's
overview. Super admins only, like the Environment page.
twui 0.1.5 makes Form's change handler tolerate a field with no form
ancestor, so the modal's own form is no longer needed to keep a change in
it from throwing.
The modal renders in a portal at the end of the document, outside the
Models page's form, so twui's Form found no form element on a change there
and threw building FormData. The fields get a form of their own, nested
inside the page's, to give it something to read and to keep Enter from
submitting the page.
A fresh install had no generation settings until someone set one, so every
model ran on whatever its provider happened to use. Each harness now has a
default (text 0.3 temperature, vision 0.2, image the provider's own), shown
in the model settings modal so what a model runs on is never a guess.
The defaults are only sent to a model whose catalog lists the field, so a
provider that says nothing about its models still gets no parameter it
might reject; anything saved on a harness or bot wins over the default.
Each text and vision harness setting now carries the generation settings
its model takes (temperature, sampling limits, penalties, seed, reasoning
effort), edited in a modal under the model pick so the harness block stays
short. Nothing is set by default, so models keep their provider's own
values until a super admin or admin changes them.
A setting is only offered and only sent when the catalog says the model
takes it: OpenRouter's supported_parameters is now stored on
harness_models and refreshed by the hourly sync. Other providers list no
parameters, so their models get them all.
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.

- 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 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.

- 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.

Admin settings gains a super-admin Backups page at
/admin/settings/backups, with restore nested at .../backups/restore.
Both use SettingsShell and SettingsGroup like the other settings sub
pages instead of the retired admin hero.
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.
Take the Bots and Workspaces pickers out of the user form. A user's
settings page lists what they reach in two groups, like a workspace's
Bots group: each row links to its settings and can be taken away, and
a select adds one, saved straight away through users/add-access and
users/remove-access (setUserGrant).

- 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.

A bot's face and status line live in bot_user_faces, one row per bot and
user, set by jobs for the user whose conversation they're in. Needs-you
and working only show to that user; every bot read overlays the viewer's
face (botFaceSql) and pushes go to the user a face change is for.

The workspace rail now lists only the bots attached to the workspace, with the back link returning to the workspace page from a bot's conversation. /admin/workspaces/<id> becomes a read-only dashboard (picture, context, latest activity, bots, computers) that links into the editable settings page.
Bots, workspaces and computers now belong to the install. Users reach
workers only through bot_users (assigned by a super admin or admin) and
workspace_users; the coordinator and main computer are one per install,
and only the super admin sees the coordinator. Conversations are per
user (bot_sessions.user_id), jobs run for the session's user, and live
updates go only to who should see them.
A bot's core memory is now general knowledge shared by every user it
works for; what it learns about a user lives in bot_user_memories.
One-off scripts move existing installs over: move-bot-memory-to-owners
(run first), then share-crew.

- Settings > Users uses the people UserForm (useFormInit) instead of its
own copy; it saves in one request through users/save-user, which now
takes an optional profile photo (setUserProfileImage)
- Revoke action on user rows adds the revoked type, as the edit form would
- Every admin form asks for confirmation before it saves

Bots create, list, update and delete schedules (cron_jobs, Bun.cron in UTC);
a per-minute cron queues due runs as tasks. Routines, Activity (super admins)
and Help get their own rail aside. Help covers familiar problems, starting
with signing in to Google through Cookie-Editor over the new Desktop (noVNC)
view.

- 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.

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.

- Harness: providers, model catalog synced hourly, automatic free picks,
cooldowns, tool loop with context trimming, MCP computer tools
- Bots queue runs replies and tasks through the harness; jobs wait
(attempt refunded) while every model is resting
- Envs: Settings > Environment, scoped general/workspace/computer,
written to computers and redacted from tool output
- Models: Settings > Models, per-harness provider select defaulting to
OpenRouter, and a models modal on each bot's chat (the coordinator's
edits the defaults)
- Chat: thinking row while a reply runs, file attachments (upload,
paste, drop) that replies read as images, audio and document text
- Fix media uploads failing after a user's first file, and private
files being served from the public media path

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
