Quality feedback integration: TestQualityTracker_InfluencesArmSelection
verifies that 5 successes vs 5 failures tips Router.Select() to the
high-quality arm once EMA has enough observations. Companion test
confirms heuristic fallback below minObservations.
Coordinator tests expanded from 2 → 5: added guidance content check
(parallel/serial/synthesize present), false-positive table extended with
7 cases including the reordered keywords from the previous fix.
Agent tool suite: tool interface contracts for all four tools (Name,
Description, Parameters validity, IsReadOnly). Extracted duplicated
2000-char truncation into truncateOutput() helper (format.go), removing
the inline copies in agent.go and batch.go. Four boundary tests cover
empty, short, exact-max, and over-max cases.
Operational task types (debug, review, refactor, test, explain) now gate
before orchestration in the keyword cascade. Previously, prompts like
"review the orchestration layer" or "refactor the pipeline dispatch"
matched "orchestrat"/"dispatch" and misclassified as TaskOrchestration.
Planning is also moved below the operational types.
Expanded orchestration keywords to cover common intent that the original
four keywords missed: "fan out", "subtask", "delegate to", "spawn elf".
Adds regression tests for false-positive cases and positive tests for new
keywords.
- store: validate session ID against store root to block path traversal in Load/Save
- local: seed turnCount from LocalConfig.TurnCount so resumed sessions keep correct turn count
- main: pass TurnCount from snapshot to LocalConfig on resume
- main: suppress quality.json save when --incognito is active
- main: handle UserConfigDir error in quality save defer instead of silently using wrong path
- test: add TestSessionStore_Load/Save_RejectsPathTraversal
- Add --resume/-r flags; empty = list sessions, ID = restore specific session
- Create SessionStore from config.ProjectRoot() and cfg.Session.MaxKeep
- Wire SessionID and Store into session.NewLocal
- Restore QualityTracker EMA data from ~/.config/gnoma/quality.json at startup
- Persist QualityTracker data to quality.json via defer on process exit
- Add SessionStore field to tui.Config
- Add /resume slash command: lists sessions or restores by ID
- Pass SessionStore to tui.New in main.go
- Update /help text to include /resume
- Add .gnoma/sessions/ to .gitignore
Refactor NewLocal to accept LocalConfig (matching engine/router patterns),
add persistence fields (SessionID, Store, Incognito, Logger), capture
finalState before releasing the lock to avoid data races, and auto-save
a Snapshot after each successful turn when a store is configured.
Add SessionID() to the Session interface and three new tests covering
auto-save, no-store no-panic, and SessionID accessors.
Add custom MarshalJSON/UnmarshalJSON on Content using string type discriminant
("text", "tool_call", "tool_result", "thinking"). Add json tags to Message.
provider/openai:
- Fix doubled tool call args (argsComplete flag): Ollama sends complete
args in the first streaming chunk then repeats them as delta, causing
doubled JSON and 400 errors in elfs
- Handle fs: prefix (gemma4 uses fs:grep instead of fs.grep)
- Add Reasoning field support for Ollama thinking output
cmd/gnoma:
- Early TTY detection so logger is created with correct destination
before any component gets a reference to it (fixes slog WARN bleed
into TUI textarea)
permission:
- Exempt spawn_elfs and agent tools from safety scanner: elf prompt
text may legitimately mention .env/.ssh/credentials patterns and
should not be blocked
tui/app:
- /init retry chain: no-tool-calls → spawn_elfs nudge → write nudge
(ask for plain text output) → TUI fallback write from streamBuf
- looksLikeAgentsMD + extractMarkdownDoc: validate and clean fallback
content before writing (reject refusals, strip narrative preambles)
- Collapse thinking output to 3 lines; ctrl+o to expand (live stream
and committed messages)
- Stream-level filter for model pseudo-tool-call blocks: suppresses
<<tool_code>>...</tool_code>> and <<function_call>>...<tool_call|>
from entering streamBuf across chunk boundaries
- sanitizeAssistantText regex covers both block formats
- Reset streamFilterClose at every turn start
Gap 11 (M6): Fixed context prefix
- Window.PrefixMessages stores immutable docs (CLAUDE.md, .gnoma/GNOMA.md)
- Prefix stripped before compaction, prepended after — survives all compaction
- AllMessages() returns prefix + history for provider requests
- main.go loads CLAUDE.md and .gnoma/GNOMA.md at startup as prefix
Gap 12 (M6): Deferred tool loading
- DeferrableTool optional interface: ShouldDefer() bool
- buildRequest() skips deferred tools until activated
- Tools auto-activate on first model request (activatedTools map)
- agent + spawn_elfs marked as deferrable (large schemas, rarely needed early)
- Saves ~800 tokens per deferred tool per request
Gap 13 (M6): Pre/post compact hooks
- OnPreCompact/OnPostCompact callbacks in WindowConfig
- Called in doCompact() (shared by CompactIfNeeded + ForceCompact)
- M8 hooks system will extend these to full protocol
Engine retries transient errors (429, 5xx) up to 4 times with
1s/2s/4s/8s backoff. Respects Retry-After header from provider.
Batch tool staggers elf spawns by 300ms to avoid rate limit bursts
when all elfs hit the API simultaneously (Mistral's 1 req/s limit).
- Elf tool calls show as 🦉 [elf] <prompt> (not ⚙ [agent])
- Live 2-line progress beneath the elf label showing what the
elf is currently outputting (grey, auto-updated)
- Agent tool forwards elf streaming events via progress channel
- Progress cleared on turn completion
- elfProgressCh wired from agent tool → TUI
internal/elf/:
- BackgroundElf: runs on own goroutine with independent engine,
history, and provider. No shared mutable state.
- Manager: spawns elfs via router.Select() (picks best arm per
task type), tracks lifecycle, WaitAll(), CancelAll(), Cleanup().
internal/tool/agent/:
- Agent tool: LLM can call 'agent' to spawn sub-agents.
Supports task_type hint for routing, wait/background mode.
5-minute timeout, context cancellation propagated.
Concurrent tool execution:
- Read-only tools (fs.read, fs.grep, fs.glob, etc.) execute in
parallel via goroutines.
- Write tools (bash, fs.write, fs.edit) execute sequentially.
- Partition by tool.IsReadOnly().
TUI: /elf command explains how to use sub-agents.
5 elf tests. Exit criteria: parent spawns 3 background elfs on
different providers, collects and synthesizes results.
- ctrl+o toggles between 10-line truncated and full tool output
- Label shows "ctrl+o to expand" (lowercase)
- Fixed: auto permission mode now sticks — config default was
overriding flag default ("default" → "auto" in config defaults)
SummarizeStrategy: calls LLM to condense older messages into a
summary, preserving key decisions, file changes, tool outputs.
Falls back to truncation on failure. Keeps 6 recent messages.
Tool result persistence: outputs >50K chars saved to disk at
.gnoma/sessions/tool-results/{id}.txt with 2K preview inline.
TUI: /compact command for manual compaction, /clear now resets
engine history. Summarize strategy used by default (with
truncation fallback).
