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 release meant running the RELEASING.md checklist by hand: tag, push
twice, create the GitHub release, then remember the Gitea push. The two
scripts do the machine-checkable part of it, with the shared flow in
scripts/lib/ so they cannot drift apart: clean worktree, not behind the
remote, typecheck, tests and the install.sh syntax check, then the tag at
HEAD, the branch push and the release object.
Only the release object differs. GitHub creates it with gh, and publishing
it is what fires the image build. Gitea gets the same notes through its
API, with the token from GITEA_TOKEN or the one tea already stored, since
nothing there builds images.
Both accept --version (defaulting to package.json), --branch, --yes,
--dry-run and --skip-checks, and a rerun finishes a release that failed
half way instead of starting over: an existing tag is reused, a pushed ref
is skipped and an existing release is left alone. A tag sitting on another
commit is refused, since publishing would ship that commit's code.
The app container is now created with --cpus 1 --memory 2048m: the heavy
work happens in the computers' own containers, so the orchestrator does
not need more. Both are installer flags (--cpus, --memory), kept in
install.conf, and part of the idempotency check, so an existing install
picks them up on its next update.
The env and app-setting caches lived in module variables, and bunext
bundles pages and API routes separately. A save cleared only its own
copy, so a saved provider key never reached the page that lists models
until the process restarted. They now share one slot per name on
globalThis, behind a symbol from the global registry, with the pattern
extracted into a tested helper.
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.
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.
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 README was a bare file list. It now opens with the horizontal
lockup, a theme-aware hero and a workspace dashboard, both taken from
the running app, so GitHub's preview shows the product instead of
describing it.
AGENTS.md records that the design handoff is outdated: its screens and
briefs are history, while its brand assets (stones, coordinator, app
icon, wordmark) and their copies in src/data are still the foundation.
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.
TLS no longer depends on NODE_ENV: the TLS_* variables win, else certs/
is used whenever it exists (the container's /app/certs mount lands there
too), and TLS_DISABLED=1 is the only way to serve plain HTTP with a
certificate present. The plain-HTTP redirect listener now starts whenever
TLS is on, not only in development, and HTTP_REDIRECT_PORT replaces
DEV_HTTP_PORT. The installer writes TLS_DISABLED=1 for --no-https, and the
health check follows the same rule.
A fresh install asks whether to serve HTTPS, with the reasons, before
touching anything. --yes keeps the default, --no-https answers it, and an
update keeps the saved mode. The prompt reads /dev/tty so `curl | bash`
still works; without a terminal the default is explained instead.
Also state why a production process is serving plain HTTP (no TLS vars),
instead of only giving that hint in development.
The installer generates a CA and a 397-day certificate into
$COBBLE_HOME/certs (in the app image, with the host's addresses), mounts
the certificate, key and CA into the container and serves TLS from Bun on
the published port. --no-https opts out; --https-cert/--https-key use a
real certificate, --https-host adds names and --https-regen replaces the
CA. The installer and the image health check use curl -k when TLS is on.
The CA is served at /ca.crt and as an iOS/macOS profile at
/ca.mobileconfig for one-tap install. Development picks up certs/
automatically, `bun run dev:phone` generates and starts, and a plain-HTTP
listener on PORT + 1 redirects to HTTPS. Port sharing is off, so a stale
dev server fails instead of silently answering on the same port.
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
