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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Sessions no longer take their title from the first message: once the first exchange is sent, the text model writes the title and summary, which the rail and sessions list show. The summary records how many messages it covers so a stale one is rewritten before it is carried into the next session.
The sessions hook now reloads on live message and session events, so a session started by the first message, a rollover or another tab appears without a reload. New sessions are pushed as server:bot-session, both from the process that changed them and through the live relay.
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.
A reply that works through tools now shows its latest tool step under
"is thinking…" (not its closing note, which is the answer). While a reply
is due, the open conversation checks the session's latest messages every
few seconds (api/admin/bots/session-messages) and replays any it missed
as server:bot-message, so the thread, rail and unread all take it and the
thinking row can't stay up until a reload. MCP and custom tool steps read
in words ("Using Exa search (web search exa)").
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Replies were locked per bot, so a long reply in one session held up every
other session's reply with nothing shown. The lock is now per session. A
chat shows the thinking row whenever the user has the last word, rather
than from the bot's face (one per user, shared by every session), so it
shows even while the bot works elsewhere. A task waiting for its busy
computer says so, and a job finishing while another still runs puts back
the running one's face.

- 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

The composer's unsent text and uploaded files are kept in localStorage
per bot and workspace until sent. Picked images show a small preview in
place of their icon.
