From 0f901407f67cb60891a1d07cfcab084020dfd29a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 16:26:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Rebuild the web GUI as a working, server-proxied chat client The v2 GUI never actually chatted: without a key it showed canned replies and fake "synthesized" code, and with one it called the API straight from the browser with the key in localStorage. The server only returned hardcoded telemetry, and fastapi was not a declared dependency. - src/web_server.py: POST /api/chat streams a Messages API turn as SSE via the Anthropic SDK. Credentials stay server-side. Adaptive thinking, effort, automatic prompt caching and refusal fallbacks are set per model; requests are validated at the boundary. - web/index.html: single-page chat with streaming replies, thinking summaries, Markdown rendering, stop, usage lines and local conversation history. Drops the duplicate cod_ai_claude_web_gui.html. - `cod serve` subcommand; anthropic, fastapi and uvicorn declared. - tests/test_web_server.py covers streaming, history echo, refusals, fallbacks, errors and validation with a fake client. - DESIGN.md now documents the real request flow; the duplicate style guide in docs/ is removed.

From 25e3d4e9825470ed99c5070b22330b0496b3ec13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Claude 
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 16:29:59 +0000
Subject: [PATCH 2/7] Build chat messages as DOM nodes instead of innerHTML

Model output was escaped before being assigned to innerHTML, but the page
no longer relies on a hand-rolled escaper: Markdown is rendered with
createElement/textContent, and link targets must parse as http(s) URLs.

Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Address review findings on the web chat server

- Keep the last fallback marker in echoed history, so the blocks on both
  sides of a mid-output fallback stay in their original shape.
- Report failures that happen before a request is sent (the SDK raises
  TypeError when no credentials are configured) as a generic SSE error.
  The details go to the server log, not the browser.
- `cod serve` refuses non-loopback hosts unless --allow-remote is passed,
  because the chat API has no authentication.

+- The server binds to loopback only. The chat API has no authentication, so `--host` refuses other addresses unless you pass `--allow-remote`.
 - Credentials stay on the server; the browser never sees a key. Set `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` to route through a gateway such as the local credential proxy.
 - Pick the model, effort level and thinking display per message. Thinking summaries stream into a collapsible panel, and each reply shows its token usage, including cache reads.
 - Conversations are kept in the browser's local storage. The system prompt (base prompt plus `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md`) is built once at startup and the history is append-only, so prompt caching holds across turns. Set `COD_PROJECT_CONTEXT=0` to leave the project files out.

Subject: [PATCH 4/7] Replace the fake harness with a real terminal coding
 agent

Removes the Pi configs, the placeholder prompt, context, security and
sub-agent modules, and the docs and tests that described them.

Adds src/agent/: a streaming tool-use loop on the Messages API with
file, search and shell tools, permission rules (.cod/settings.json),
append-only JSONL sessions with resume, and a terminal front end
(`cod`, `cod -p`, `--continue`, `--resume`). The web chat now shares the
model table and history rules with the agent.

Keeps the memory store and worktree runner, with a stricter memory key
check and failed workers reported as failed. All tests use a fake client.

-# `AGENTS.md` — Multi-Agent Fleet & `@heretek-ai/pi-configs` Interoperability Charter
+# Agent notes
 
-`cod.ai` natively loads specialist charters from `@heretek-ai/pi-configs` (`pi_configs_upstream/agents//AGENTS.md`) and switches charters via Layer 3 mid-conversation `role: "system"` / `` blocks so the Layer 1 and Layer 2 ephemeral prompt caches remain 100% intact.
+See `CLAUDE.md` for how to work on this repository; the same rules apply to any coding agent.
 
-## Built-In Core Sub-Agents
-- **Lead `/goal` Coordinator (`src/agents/coordinator.py`)**: Decomposes specs into isolated `git worktree` branches and synthesizes results via `StructuredMemoryStore`.
-- **Read-Only `Explore` Sub-Agent (`src/agents/explore_agent.py`)**: Auto-triggered on $>3$ `Glob`/`Grep` queries; returns a distilled 1,000–2,000 token architectural brief.
-- **Two-Tier `Compact Service` (`src/agents/compaction.py`)**: Enforces `NO_TOOLS_PREAMBLE`, strips ``, validates the 9-section ``, and restores the 5 most recently accessed files.
-- **Adversarial Verification Agent (`src/agents/verifier.py`)**: Read-only on project files (exit code `2` guard), ephemeral harnesses in `/tmp` only, executes the 5-step Universal Baseline, and forces the Lead Agent to spot-check 2–3 commands.
+The agent itself lives in `src/agent/`. `engine.py` runs the loop and yields events; `terminal.py` renders them. A new front end (such as the web chat) should consume `Agent.send()` events rather than calling the API itself.

-## Six Non-Negotiable Architectural Invariants
-1. **Byte-Identical Static Prefix Guarantee**: Never mutate Layer 1 (`tools` + `system`) or Layer 2 (`CLAUDE.md` + `AGENTS.md`) mid-session. Inject all dynamic reminders, specialist charters, and newly discovered schemas at the tail of Layer 3.
-2. **Deferred Tool Schema Loading (`ToolSearch`)**: Keep `defer_loading: true` on all extended/MCP tools; place `cache_control` only on non-deferred blocks.
-3. **Dual-Polarity Mode Switching**: Use Mode A (`HolisticWebArchitectEngine`) for $>100$-line iterative design and Mode B (`SurgicalCLIImplementer`) for repository execution.
-4. **Attention Budget Governor ($60\text{--}80\%$)**: Maintain full in-context $n^2$ self-attention up to 60% capacity; trigger `project_knowledge_search` and Two-Tier Compaction before 80%.
-5. **Multi-Agent Clean-Context Spawning**: Spawn `ReadOnlyExploreSubAgent` whenever discovery exceeds 3 `Glob`/`Grep` queries, and verify via `AdversarialVerificationAgent` (`07_verification_agent.md`).
-6. **Proxmox Containment & Credential Isolation**: Keep raw API keys inside `CredentialVaultProxy` (`127.0.0.1:3128`) outside the agent's readable environment.
+- Python 3.11+, Anthropic Python SDK. Run the tests with `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests`. They use the fake client in `tests/fakes.py`; never make real API calls from tests.
+- Requests use adaptive thinking, `output_config.effort`, top-level `cache_control`, and `fallbacks: "default"` where the model supports it (not Haiku 5.5). Don't add `budget_tokens`, `thinking: disabled` or a forced `tool_choice`: the current models reject them.
+- The history is append-only. Store assistant content exactly as returned (thinking signatures included), apply `history_content` after a fallback, and keep the system prompt and tool list fixed for a session, or the prompt cache and thinking blocks break.
+- Tool inputs come from the model: validate them (the pydantic models in `src/agent/tools.py`) and return failures as `is_error` tool results.
+- Credentials stay out of the browser and out of the agent's shell environment (`sanitized_env`).
+- `src/agent/models.py` is the one model table; the CLI and the web server both read it.

-# Web Chat GUI (`DESIGN.md`)
+# Design
+
+## Terminal agent
+
+`cod` runs `src/agent/engine.py`, a tool-use loop over the streaming Messages API. One user turn works like this:
+
+1. The prompt is appended to the session and the whole history is sent with the six tool definitions.
+2. Text and thinking stream to the terminal as they arrive.
+3. If the response stops for `tool_use`, each call is checked against the permission policy (deny, allow, or ask the user), run, and its result sent back in the next request. This repeats until Claude ends its turn, up to 50 rounds.
+4. Every message is written to `.cod/sessions/.jsonl` as soon as it is final.
+
+The request uses the same settings as the web chat (table below) plus `tools`, each with `eager_input_streaming: true`. The system prompt (base instructions, the project root, and the project's `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md`) is built when the session starts and stored in its header, and the tool list never changes, so every request in a session shares a cacheable prefix, including after a resume.
+
+| Stop reason | Handling |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `end_turn` | The turn ends. |
+| `tool_use` | Run the calls and continue. |
+| `max_tokens` | Tool calls in the cut-off response are not run; each gets an error result asking for a smaller input. Without tool calls the turn ends with a note. |
+| `pause_turn` | The history is sent back unchanged to resume. |
+| `refusal` | The turn's messages, starting with the user's prompt, are rolled back so the user can rephrase. |
+
+If the user interrupts while tools are running, the calls that finished keep their results and the rest get an "interrupted" error result, so the history stays valid.
+
+## Web chat
 
 `cod serve` runs a local chat interface for the Claude Messages API. It has two parts: `src/web_server.py`, a FastAPI server, and `web/index.html`, a single page with no build step and no framework.

+A coding agent for the terminal, plus a local web chat, built on the Claude Messages API with the Anthropic Python SDK.
 
-`cod.ai` ([Heretek-AI/cod.ai](https://github.com/Heretek-AI/cod.ai)) unifies the **holistic, zero-noise $n^2$ architectural synthesis** of `claude.ai` Web (`` + Skills Playbooks + $>100$-line iterative drafting) with the **surgical Just-In-Time (JIT) execution, byte-identical 3-layer prefix caching, Pi JSONL session DAGs, and adversarial sub-agent verification** of Claude Code and [Pi (`earendil-works/pi`)](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi).
+`cod` gives Claude six tools in your project (read, write and edit files, glob, grep, and a shell), asks before it edits or runs anything, and saves every session so you can pick it up later.
 
----
+## Install
 
-## Repository Structure
+Requires Python 3.11 or newer.
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/heretek-ai/cod.ai && cd cod.ai
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+Credentials are resolved by the SDK: `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`, or an `ant auth login` profile. Set `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` to send requests through a gateway or a local credential proxy instead.
+
+## Terminal agent
+
+```bash
+cd your-project
+cod                          # interactive session
+cod -p "why does test_login fail?"   # one prompt, answer on stdout
+git diff | cod -p -          # prompt from stdin
+cod --continue               # resume the latest session in this project
+cod --resume 20261025-164712-76741b
+```
+
+| Option | Effect |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `--model` | `claude-opus-5-5` (default), `claude-fable-5-1`, `claude-sonnet-5-5` or `claude-haiku-5-5` |
+| `--effort` | `low` to `max`; defaults to the model's own default |
+| `--accept-edits` | Apply file edits without asking (shell commands still ask) |
+| `--allow-all` | Run every tool call without asking |
+| `--root` | Project directory the tools work in (default: current directory) |
+| `--hide-thinking` | Don't request or print thinking summaries |
+| `--no-project-files` | Leave `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` out of a new session's prompt |
+| `--no-fallbacks` | Turn off the server-side refusal fallback |
+
+In the interactive session, `/help`, `/session`, `/usage` and `/exit` are available, and Ctrl-C stops the current turn.
+
+### Permissions
+
+Reads and searches run freely. Edits and shell commands ask first; answer `y`, `n`, or `a` to allow that tool (edits) or that exact command (shell) for the rest of the session. With no terminal to ask on, as in `cod -p` in a pipeline, anything that would ask is denied.
+
+Standing rules go in `.cod/settings.json` in the project. A rule is a tool name, optionally with a glob matched against the command (for `bash`) or path (for the file tools). `deny` always wins, even over `--allow-all`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "permissions": {
+    "allow": ["bash(git status*)", "bash(pytest*)"],
+    "deny": ["bash(rm -rf*)", "read_file(.env*)"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+All paths are confined to the project root. Shell commands run with stdin closed and with environment variables whose names look like secrets (`*KEY*`, `*TOKEN*`, `*SECRET*`, `*PASSWORD*`, `*CREDENTIAL*`, `*AUTH*`) removed. The shell is not otherwise sandboxed, so treat `--allow-all` as giving Claude your shell.
+
+### Sessions
+
+Each session is an append-only JSONL file in `.cod/sessions/` holding the model, the system prompt and every message as sent. A refused turn is dropped from the history so you can rephrase. Add `.cod/sessions/` to your project's `.gitignore`.
+
+## Web chat
+
+```bash
+cod serve                    # http://127.0.0.1:8642
+cod serve --port 9000
+```
+
+A plain chat with streaming, thinking summaries, model and effort selectors and per-reply token usage. It has no tools. The API key stays on the server and the page has no authentication, so `cod serve` binds only loopback addresses unless you pass `--allow-remote`. `COD_PROJECT_CONTEXT=0` leaves this repository's `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` out of its system prompt, and `COD_FALLBACKS=0` turns off the refusal fallback. See [DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md) for how requests are built.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
+```
+
+The tests use a fake Anthropic client and never call the API.

-
-## Web Chat GUI
-
-`cod serve` starts a local chat interface at `http://127.0.0.1:8642` that streams replies from the Claude Messages API.
-
-```bash
-pip install -e .                       # anthropic, fastapi, uvicorn
-export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...    # or ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, or an `ant auth login` profile
-cod serve                              # or: PYTHONPATH=. python3 src/cli.py serve
-```
-
-- The server binds to loopback only. The chat API has no authentication, so `--host` refuses other addresses unless you pass `--allow-remote`.
-- Credentials stay on the server; the browser never sees a key. Set `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` to route through a gateway such as the local credential proxy.
-- Pick the model, effort level and thinking display per message. Thinking summaries stream into a collapsible panel, and each reply shows its token usage, including cache reads.
-- Conversations are kept in the browser's local storage. The system prompt (base prompt plus `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md`) is built once at startup and the history is append-only, so prompt caching holds across turns. Set `COD_PROJECT_CONTEXT=0` to leave the project files out.
-- Refusals use the server-side `fallbacks: "default"` retry on models that support it. Set `COD_FALLBACKS=0` to turn it off, for example behind a gateway that does not accept the beta.

-# Phase 0: OSINT & Environment Reconnaissance (`cod.ai`)
-
-**Document ID:** `00_osint_recon.md`  
-**Target Repository:** [Heretek-AI/cod.ai](https://github.com/Heretek-AI/cod.ai)  
-**Organization:** [Heretek-AI](https://github.com/Heretek-AI)  
-**Date:** October 24, 2026  
-**Status:** Verified via Live OSINT & Local System Audit
-
----
-
-## 1. Executive Summary: Target Repository & Ecosystem Audit creates a Clean-Slate Mandate
-
-Live Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) inspection and local forensic analysis of the attached repository snapshot confirm that [Heretek-AI/cod.ai](https://github.com/Heretek-AI/cod.ai) is a newly initialized, empty public GitHub repository (`octolytics-dimension-repository_public: true`, zero commits, zero branches, zero issues/PRs). Simultaneously, auditing the broader [Heretek-AI](https://github.com/Heretek-AI) organization (106 public repositories) reveals two mature sister initiatives that directly inform `cod.ai`'s architecture:
-
-1. **Pi Specialist Fleet (`@heretek-ai/pi-configs` v1.2.0)**: Published on October 24, 2026 ([pi.dev/packages/@heretek-ai/pi-configs](https://pi.dev/packages/@heretek-ai/pi-configs) / [Heretek-AI/pi-configs](https://github.com/Heretek-AI/pi-configs)), this package implements a 71-specialist local-first multi-agent fleet on top of the [Pi Coding Agent (`earendil-works/pi`)](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi). It already codifies 5 core pillars:
-   - Deterministic pre/post tool hooks (`pi-yaml-hooks`, exit-code-2 blocking gates, auto-linters).
-   - Lazy proxy-mode MCP runtime (`nicobailon/pi-mcp-adapter` v5.4.0+ collapsing schemas into a ~200-token proxy with QuickJS-WASI `mcpScript` execution).
-   - AST/LSP code intelligence (`@juvio15/pi-ast-grep`, `redhat-et/ripwire` saving ~75% tokens, `nikmmd/pi-lsp-adapter`).
-   - Isolated child-process RPC subagents (`KristjanPikhof/Pi-Agents-Team` returning only `` blocks).
-   - Headless browser & visual critique (`vercel-labs/agent-browser`, `amitpatole/agent-vision`).
-2. **Proxmox VE Containment Appliances (`Heretek-AI/ProxmoxVE` & `Heretek-AI/Heretek-ProxmoxVE`)**: Audited via both live GitHub inspection ([Heretek-AI/ProxmoxVE](https://github.com/Heretek-AI/ProxmoxVE)) and the attached `antigravity-re-agent-tests.md` specification. These repositories define the production Proxmox LXC (`ct/re-agent.sh`) and Debian 13 KVM (`vm/re-agent-vm.sh`) containment perimeter:
-   - **OS-Level Sandboxing**: `bubblewrap` (`bwrap --unshare-all --ro-bind / / --dev /dev --proc /proc`) with LXC `features: nesting=1,keyctl=1` or full Debian 13 VM isolation.
-   - **Network Egress Quarantine (`re-firewall`)**: Dual-stack `iptables` / `ip6tables` (`RE_EGRESS` chain) blocking all direct outbound traffic (`isolate local`) and forcing LLM/MCP traffic through a local Squid/policy proxy at `127.0.0.1:3128` with strict domain allowlisting (e.g., `https://llm.heretek.one/v1`).
-   - **Daemon & Service Topology**: Systemd-managed services (`re-firewall`, dashboard bound strictly to `127.0.0.1:9119`, API server on port `8642`).
-3. **Multi-Agent Team Rigs (`Heretek-AI/openrig` & `Heretek-AI/heretek-rigs`)**: Forked from `mvschwarz/openrig` ([Heretek-AI/openrig](https://github.com/Heretek-AI/openrig)), demonstrating cross-harness orchestration across Claude Code, Codex, and Pi.
-
----
-
-## 2. Local VM Hardware, Kernel & Runtime Reconnaissance
-
-Strict execution of `Strict Operational Constraint #1` requires verifying the exact local execution environment rather than assuming capabilities from the prompt persona. Live shell inspection (`uname -a`, `lscpu`, `free -h`, `df -h`, `id`) reveals two distinct operational planes:
-
-| Environment Attribute | Current Execution Sandbox (Live Audit) | Target Production Appliance (`Heretek-AI/ProxmoxVE` Spec) | Architectural Impact on `cod.ai` |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| **Kernel & Virtualization** | `Linux 4.19.0-gvisor #1 SMP x86_64` (gVisor container sandbox) | Proxmox VE Host (`x86_64`) running Debian 13 VM (`qm`) or LXC (`pct`) | `cod.ai` must abstract its sandbox driver (`SandboxDriver`) to support both rootless gVisor/process isolation (current VM) and `bwrap` + `iptables` (`re-firewall`) on Proxmox VE. |
-| **OS Distribution** | Debian GNU/Linux 12 (Bookworm) | Debian 12 / Debian 13 (Trixie) | Target POSIX/Linux standard paths and Debian package conventions. |
-| **CPU & Memory** | 2 vCPUs (`0,1`), 5.0 GiB RAM (4.7 GiB available), 0 B Swap | Configurable Proxmox LXC/VM resources | Core orchestrator must have minimal idle memory footprint (<100 MB) to allow parallel sub-agent threads and headless Chromium within 4.7 GiB RAM. |
-| **Storage & Filesystem** | 20 GiB writable at `/working_dir` and `/home/spark` (18 GiB free); root `/` is read-only | Local ZFS/LVM storage (`/work/cases`, `/opt/*`, `/etc/pve/*`) | All repository files, git worktrees, SQLite WAL state, and `/docs` must reside inside the workspace root (`/working_dir/c_80e02215eb2f8d86/`), with configurable root path overrides. |
-| **User & Privileges** | `uid=1235(spark)`, non-root, no passwordless `sudo`, outbound network disabled in shell | `root` (provisioning/firewall) + `analyst` unprivileged user | Do not hardcode `sudo` in core agent loops; use user-space policy proxy and modular containment drivers. |
-| **Installed Runtimes** | **Python 3.11.2** (`fastapi`, `httpx`, `pydantic`, `selenium`, `rich`, `click`, `pytest` via unittest, `sqlite3` 3.40.1), **Node.js v18.20.4** (`npm` 9.2.0), **GCC 12.2.0 / G++ 12.2.0**, **Git 2.39.5** (`git worktree` verified), **Chromium 155.0.8059.79**, **tmux** | **Node.js v22**, **Python 3.11+**, **Java 21**, `bwrap`, `iptables`, `squid` (`127.0.0.1:3128`) | **Critical Discovery**: `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent` requires **Node.js >= 22.19**, while the current sandbox VM has **Node.js v18.20.4** and **Python 3.11.2**. `cod.ai` must either run natively on Python 3.11+ / Node 18+ or provide a zero-dependency core that bridges seamlessly with Pi v1.2+ on Node 22 in production. |

-## 3. Live Ecosystem OSINT: Anthropic Messages API & Prompt Caching (October 2026 Specs)
-
-Live verification of the official [Anthropic Prompt Caching Documentation](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-caching), [Context Windows Documentation](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/context-windows), [Tool Search Tool Documentation](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/tool-search-tool), and [Mid-Conversation System Messages & Tool Changes Documentation](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/mid-conversation-system-messages) establishes the exact mathematical and protocol rules for `cod.ai`:
-
-### 3.1 Active Model Lineup, Context Windows & Minimum Cacheable Thresholds
-As of October 2026, Anthropic's model catalog has expanded to the Claude 4.5–5.5 / Fable / Mythos generations alongside the 4.5 series ([Prompt Caching Docs](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-caching), [Context Windows Docs](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/context-windows)):
-
-| Model Identifier | Context Window | Max Output | Base Input / Output ($/MTok) | 5m Cache Write ($/MTok) | 1h Cache Write ($/MTok) | Cache Read / Hit ($/MTok) | Min Cacheable Tokens |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| **Claude Fable 5.1 / Mythos 5.1** (`claude-fable-5-1`) | 1,000,000 | 128,000 | $10.00 / $50.00 | $12.50 (1.25x) | $20.00 (2.0x) | **$0.25 (0.025x)** | **512 tokens** |
-| **Claude Opus 5.5** (`claude-opus-5-5`) | 1,000,000 | 128,000 | $4.00 / $20.00 | $5.00 (1.25x) | $8.00 (2.0x) | **$0.20 (0.05x)** | **512 tokens** |
-| **Claude Sonnet 5.5** (`claude-sonnet-5-5`) | 1,000,000 | 128,000 | $2.00 / $10.00 | $2.50 (1.25x) | $4.00 (2.0x) | **$0.10 (0.05x)** | **512 tokens** |
-| **Claude Haiku 5.5** (`claude-haiku-5-5`) | 1,000,000 | 128,000 | $0.10 (≤100K) / $0.50 | $0.125 (1.25x) | $0.20 (2.0x) | **$0.01 (0.10x)** | **512 tokens** |
-| **Claude Opus 4.8** (`claude-opus-4-8`) | 1,000,000 | 128,000 | $5.00 / $25.00 | $6.25 (1.25x) | $10.00 (2.0x) | $0.50 (0.10x) | **1,024 tokens** |
-| **Claude Opus 4.7** (`claude-opus-4-7`) | 1,000,000 | 128,000 | $5.00 / $25.00 | $6.25 (1.25x) | $10.00 (2.0x) | $0.50 (0.10x) | **2,048 tokens** |
-| **Claude Opus 4.6 / 4.5** (`claude-opus-4-6`, `claude-opus-4-5`) | 1M (4.6) / 200K (4.5) | 128K / 64K | $5.00 / $25.00 | $6.25 (1.25x) | $10.00 (2.0x) | $0.50 (0.10x) | **4,096 tokens** |
-| **Claude Sonnet 5 / 4.6 / 4.5** (`claude-sonnet-4-6`) | 1M (5, 4.6) / 200K (4.5) | 128K / 64K | $2.00–$3.00 / $10–$15 | $2.50–$3.75 | $4.00–$6.00 | $0.20–$0.30 (0.10x) | **1,024 tokens** |
-| **Claude Haiku 4.5** (`claude-haiku-4-5`) | 200,000 | 64,000 | $1.00 / $5.00 | $1.25 (1.25x) | $2.00 (2.0x) | $0.10 (0.10x) | **4,096 tokens** |
-
-*Key Verification Note*: While the user prompt notes minimum thresholds of $1,024+$ for Sonnet/Opus and $2,048+$ for Haiku (which held for earlier 3.5/4.0 generations), live OSINT proves that **Claude Opus 4.5/4.6 and Haiku 4.5 actually require 4,096 tokens**, **Opus 4.7 requires 2,048 tokens**, **Sonnet 4.5/4.6/5 and Opus 4.8 require 1,024 tokens**, and **5.5-generation models require 512 tokens** ([Prompt Caching Limitations](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-caching)). Therefore, `cod.ai`'s Cache-Control Assembler must maintain a **model-aware threshold table** (enforcing $\ge 4,096$ tokens when targeting Opus 4.5/4.6 or Haiku 4.5, and $\ge 1,024$ / $2,048$ / $512$ dynamically per model ID) so cache breakpoints never silently fail!
-
-### 3.2 Prefix Hash Hierarchy, 20-Block Lookback Window & TTL Mechanics
-1. **Strict Prefix Ordering**: Anthropic hashes prompts in the exact sequence: `tools` $
ightarrow$ `system` $
ightarrow$ `messages` ([Prompt Caching Structure](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-caching)). Any byte modification in `tools` invalidates `tools`, `system`, and `messages`. Any modification in `system` invalidates `system` and `messages`.
-2. **Up to 4 Explicit Breakpoints + Automatic Caching**: The API supports up to 4 explicit `cache_control: {"type": "ephemeral"}` block breakpoints (plus optional `"ttl": "1h"`), or top-level automatic caching.
-3. **The 20-Block Lookback Window**: When checking a breakpoint, the API walks backward at most **20 blocks** from the breakpoint to find a prior cache write ([Automatic Prefix Checking](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-caching)). Consecutive `tool_use` or `tool_result` blocks count as 1 position. If a turn adds $>20$ blocks without an intermediate breakpoint, the lookback misses!
-4. **5-Minute TTL Measurement Trap**: The 300-second (5-minute) lifetime is measured from the **start of the request** that writes or reads the cache entry, **not** from the end of streaming ([How Prompt Caching Works](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-caching)). If an Architect turn takes 180 seconds to stream, the user has only **120 seconds** remaining before the prefix expires!
-5. **Thinking Block Preservation**: On Opus 4.5+, Sonnet 4.6+, and Haiku 5.5, previous thinking blocks are preserved in context by default and cached alongside assistant turns. Modifying or dropping a preserved thinking block (or altering a message before it) invalidates the cache from that position onward and triggers a cryptographic signature validation error.
-
-### 3.3 Deferred Tool Loading (`ToolSearch`) & Mid-Conversation System/Tool Injection
-Anthropic now provides two complementary cache-preserving mechanisms that `cod.ai` must support in tandem:
-1. **Native `defer_loading: true` + `ToolSearch` (`tool_search_tool_regex_20251119` / `tool_search_tool_bm25_20251119`)**:
-   - Tools marked with `"defer_loading": true` in the top-level `tools` array are **excluded from the initial system-prompt prefix** ([Tool Search Tool Docs](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/tool-search-tool)).
-   - At least one non-deferred tool (e.g., the `ToolSearch` tool plus the 4–5 core file primitives) must remain `defer_loading: false` and carry the `cache_control` breakpoint (since a tool with `defer_loading: true` cannot carry `cache_control`).
-   - When the model searches, the API (or custom client-side handler) returns `tool_reference` blocks inside `tool_result`, expanding the full schema inline at the tail of Layer 3 without touching Layer 1!
-2. **Mid-Conversation `role: "system"` Messages & `tool_addition` (`inline-tools-2026-09-15`)**:
-   - On Opus 4.8/5/5.5, Sonnet 5.5, Haiku 5.5, and Fable/Mythos, appending `{"role": "system", "content": "..."}` (with optional `clear_at: "next_user_message"` under beta header `mid-conversation-system-clear-at-2026-08-21`) or `tool_addition` blocks (`inline-tools-2026-09-15`) injects operator-level rules or dynamic MCP schemas at the end of `messages` with zero prefix cache invalidation ([Mid-Conversation System Messages Docs](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/mid-conversation-system-messages)).
-   - For universal compatibility across all models (including Sonnet 4.5/4.6/5 and OpenAI-compatible local endpoints like `llm.heretek.one`), `cod.ai` also supports injecting `` tags inside the final user/tool-result turn in Layer 3.
-
----
-
-## 4. Live Ecosystem OSINT: Model Context Protocol (MCP) Specifications
-
-Inspection of the latest [Model Context Protocol (MCP) Specification (Version 2026-07-28)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/basic/transports) confirms:
-1. **`stdio` Transport**: Client launches the MCP server as a subprocess and exchanges UTF-8 newline-delimited JSON-RPC 2.0 messages over `stdin`/`stdout`. Cancellation uses `notifications/cancelled`. Custom local transports over Unix domain sockets or TCP should reuse `stdio` newline-delimited JSON-RPC framing.
-2. **`Streamable HTTP` Transport (replaces legacy dual-endpoint HTTP+SSE from `2024-11-05`)**:
-   - Introduced in `2025-03-26` and refined in `2026-07-28`, every client message is an HTTP `POST` to a **single MCP endpoint**.
-   - Replies arrive either as a single JSON object (`application/json`) or a request-scoped Server-Sent Events (`text/event-stream`) stream.
-   - Protocol version and capabilities travel in `_meta.io.modelcontextprotocol/*` inside the JSON-RPC body and are mirrored into HTTP headers for proxy inspection.
-   - Cancellation is signaled by closing the request's response stream or sending `notifications/cancelled`.
-   - Backward compatibility with legacy `2024-11-05` HTTP+SSE servers requires probing `POST` first and falling back to `GET` SSE endpoint discovery if a `4xx` is returned.
-

-
-## 5. Live Ecosystem OSINT: Open-Source Coding Harnesses Audit
-
-We audited six major coding harnesses against how they assemble prompts, manage context windows, load tools, and isolate sub-agents:
-
-1. **Claude Code CLI/SDK (Anthropic, v2.1.220 / March–July 2026 Source Analysis)**:
-   - **Prompt Assembly**: Assembles a 3-layer stack ordered by volatility: Layer 1 (System prompt ~4,200 tokens + core tools + `ToolSearch`), Layer 2 (`CLAUDE.md` hierarchy injected as a user message after the system prompt), and Layer 3 (append-only conversation history with `` tags for file edits and mode changes) ([Inside the Claude Code Harness](https://rohitghumare.com/blog/inside-the-claude-code-harness/), [Dive into Claude Code arXiv:2604.14228v3](https://arxiv.org/html/2604.14228v3)).
-   - **Compaction**: Implements a 5-stage pipeline (Snip compact $
ightarrow$ Microcompact stripping old tool results $
ightarrow$ Context collapse $
ightarrow$ Auto-compact structured 9-section `` with `` scratchpad stripped $
ightarrow$ Reactive emergency compact).
-   - **Flaws / Limitations for `cod.ai`**: Proprietary closed-source license; its default `01_main_system_prompt.md` enforces rigid anti-abstraction rules ("no unasked helpers", "three similar lines over premature abstraction") that cripple greenfield system design; furthermore, its aggressive Stage 1/2 micro-compaction mutates middle-of-history tool results if not aligned with cache breakpoints.
-2. **Pi Coding Agent (`@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent` / `@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent` v1.2.0+) + `@heretek-ai/pi-configs`**:
-   - **Prompt Assembly**: Ultra-minimal ~20-line static system prompt with **zero timestamps, dates, or random tokens** in the prefix ([Inside the Pi Harness](https://rohitghumare.com/blog/inside-the-pi-harness/), [earendil-works/pi README](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/README.md)). Walks ancestor directories for `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md` with git worktree deduplication.
-   - **DAG Session Tree (`session.jsonl`)**: Stores every turn as a tree node (`id`, `parentId`). Rewinding or branching (`/tree`) simply moves the active leaf pointer without deleting history or invalidating the cached prefix prior to the branch point!
-   - **Cache Telemetry ("The Meter")**: Tracks exact `Cache Re-billed: $X (Y tokens, Z misses)` and attributes causes (`cache miss after model switch`, `cache miss after 12m idle`). Sends one-shot compaction summaries with caching disabled (`skipCacheWrite`) and a fresh session ID.
-   - **Additive Tool Loading**: Supports `defer_loading` + `tool_reference` on Anthropic and `nicobailon/pi-mcp-adapter` (~200-token proxy tool + QuickJS-WASI `mcpScript` execution in `@heretek-ai/pi-configs`).
-   - **Flaws / Limitations for `cod.ai`**: Core Pi deliberately omits built-in permission classifiers ("no permission system at all"), native sub-agent coordinators, Dual-Polarity Architect vs. Implementer prompt switching, and the 5-minute TTL active keep-alive scheduler—relying entirely on external extensions (`@heretek-ai/pi-configs`) and requiring Node.js $\ge 22.19$.
-3. **OpenCode (`anomalyco/opencode` / `sst/opencode`)**:
-   - **Architecture**: Client-server TypeScript runtime with TUI and `task` subagent tool ([Inside OpenCode](https://medium.com/@falexm/inside-opencode-understanding-the-architecture-behind-the-ai-runtime-01236d9370ff)).
-   - **Critical Cache Bug Confirmed via Live OSINT**: Issue [#58485 (`Moving plan/build reminders invalidate the prompt cache and increase API costs`)](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/58485) (filed October 23, 2026) proves that OpenCode moves/mutates plan and build reminder blocks across turns, invalidating the prompt cache and spiking API costs.
-4. **NousResearch Hermes Agent (`NousResearch/hermes-agent`)**:
-   - **Architecture**: Python-based agent (`hermes_state_*.py`, SQLite WAL state, `bubblewrap` terminal backend, `holographic` memory provider) used in `Heretek-AI/ProxmoxVE` (`ct/re-agent.sh`).
-   - **Flaws / Limitations for `cod.ai`**: Built as a general-purpose persistent assistant/reverse-engineering agent rather than a dual-polarity software architecture and surgical coding harness; lacks native `ToolSearch` `tool_reference` expansion and strict 3-layer byte-identical prefix guarantees.
-5. **Aider (`Aider-AI/aider`)**:
-   - **Architecture**: Python CLI using Tree-sitter PageRank Repository Maps ([Aider Repo Map](https://aider.chat/docs/repomap.html)) and `--cache-prompts` with optional `--cache-keepalive-pings` ([Aider Prompt Caching](https://aider.chat/docs/usage/caching.html)).
-   - **Flaws / Limitations for `cod.ai`**: Dynamically recalculates and mutates the repo map and active file list inside the prompt prefix as files are added/dropped, frequently invalidating the cache; lacks MCP `ToolSearch`, multi-agent clean-context spawning, and headless daemon concurrency.
-6. **Cline (`cline/cline`)**:
-   - **Architecture**: VS Code extension with `ContextManager` and `FileContextTracker` ([Dissecting Cline Context Management](https://medium.com/@balajibal/dissecting-cline-cline-context-management-260aec3d84cb)).
-   - **Flaws / Limitations for `cod.ai`**: Coupled to VS Code GUI; injects all MCP tool definitions upfront into the system prompt (confirmed in [Cline Discussion #8578](https://github.com/cline/cline/discussions/8578)), causing massive schema bloat and cache invalidation whenever MCP servers connect.

-# Phase 1: Harness Architecture Evaluation & Selection (`cod.ai`)
-
-**Document ID:** `01_harness_decision_matrix.md`  
-**Target Repository:** [Heretek-AI/cod.ai](https://github.com/Heretek-AI/cod.ai)  
-**Date:** October 24, 2026  
-**Status:** Architecture Decision Record (ADR-001) — Ready for Review

-
-## 1. Executive Summary: Build Custom `cod.ai` Core Unifying Pi's DAG/Extension Protocol with Claude Code's 3-Layer Cache & Verification Engine
-
-Every candidate open-source and proprietary coding harness discovered during Phase 0 was evaluated against our **Six Non-Negotiable Architectural Invariants**. **No existing standalone harness satisfies all 6 invariants out of the box without invasive patching.** However, **[Pi (`@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent`)](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi) combined with Heretek-AI's own [`@heretek-ai/pi-configs`](https://pi.dev/packages/@heretek-ai/pi-configs)** comes remarkably close—solving append-only tree transcripts (`session.jsonl`), zero-noise static system prompts, cache re-billing telemetry, and lazy ~200-token MCP proxy adapters (`pi-mcp-adapter`).
-
-In strict compliance with our **Build-vs-Buy Mandate (Constraint #2)**, we will **build `cod.ai`'s Core Orchestration Engine from scratch** while adopting **Pi's JSONL DAG Session Tree format (`id`/`parentId`), Cache Re-billing Meter arithmetic, and `@heretek-ai/pi-configs` Specialist Charter/Hook compatibility** as first-class native primitives.

-## 2. Evaluation Against the Six Non-Negotiable Architectural Invariants
-
-| Architectural Invariant | **Pi (`earendil-works/pi`) + `@heretek-ai/pi-configs`** | **Claude Code CLI (`v2.1.220`)** | **OpenCode (`anomalyco/opencode`)** | **Hermes Agent (`NousResearch`)** | **Aider (`Aider-AI/aider`)** | **Cline (`cline/cline`)** | **`cod.ai` Custom Core (Proposed)** |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| **1. Byte-Identical Static Prefix Guarantee** (Layer 1 System + Layer 2 `CLAUDE.md`/`AGENTS.md` + Layer 3 Dynamic) | **PASS (Core) / PARTIAL (Mode Switch)**: 20-line static prompt with zero timestamps ([Inside the Pi Harness](https://rohitghumare.com/blog/inside-the-pi-harness/)). However, switching specialist charters via `/specialist` mutates the system prompt unless isolated in sub-processes. | **PASS**: Strict 3-layer stack; `CLAUDE.md` in Layer 2 user message; `` in Layer 3 ([Inside the Claude Code Harness](https://rohitghumare.com/blog/inside-the-claude-code-harness/)). (Proprietary/Closed). | **FAIL**: Moving plan/build reminders mutates earlier message positions and busts the prompt cache ([Issue #58485](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/58485)). | **PARTIAL**: State mutations (`hermes_state_prune_rewrite.py`) can rewrite transcript history in place. | **FAIL**: Dynamic repo-map updates and `/add` or `/drop` file edits mutate the cached prefix ([Aider Caching](https://aider.chat/docs/usage/caching.html)). | **FAIL**: Rebuilds system prompt with dynamic environment/file state on configuration changes ([Cline #8578](https://github.com/cline/cline/discussions/8578)). | **100% NATIVE PASS**: Immutable Layer 1 + Layer 2 with cryptographic SHA-256 prefix lock; mid-session updates strictly via Layer 3 `role: "system"` (`clear_at`) or ``. |
-| **2. Deferred Tool Schema Loading (`ToolSearch` Pattern)** | **PASS**: Native `defer_loading` + `tool_reference` support on Anthropic, plus `pi-mcp-adapter` (~200-token proxy + QuickJS `mcpScript`) in [`@heretek-ai/pi-configs`](https://pi.dev/packages/@heretek-ai/pi-configs). | **PASS**: Native `ToolSearch` (`defer_loading: true`) and `inline-tools-2026-09-15` ([Tool Search Docs](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/tool-search-tool)). | **FAIL**: Injects enabled MCP tool schemas directly into the initial request payload. | **PARTIAL**: Supports optional MCP plugins (`optional-mcps`), but lacks native `tool_reference` expansion. | **FAIL**: Does not support MCP `ToolSearch` deferred schema loading. | **FAIL**: Injects all MCP tool schemas into the system prompt upfront ([Cline #8578](https://github.com/cline/cline/discussions/8578)). | **100% NATIVE PASS**: Dual support for Anthropic `ToolSearch` (`defer_loading: true` + `tool_reference`) AND client-side BM25/Regex `ToolSearch` + `tool_addition` for local/OpenAI endpoints. |
-| **3. Dual-Polarity Mode Switching (Architect vs. Surgical Implementer)** | **PARTIAL**: Core Pi has no built-in plan/architect mode ("anti-feature"); `@heretek-ai/pi-configs` has `system-architect` and language specialists, but lacks the iterative $>100$-line `` drafting loop. | **FAIL**: Hardcodes anti-overengineering rules ("no unasked helpers", "three similar lines over premature abstraction") in `01_main_system_prompt.md`. | **PARTIAL**: Has Plan vs. Build mode, but mode reminders break prompt cache ([Issue #58485](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/58485)) and lack `claude.ai` Artifact synthesis rules. | **FAIL**: Single general-purpose agent polarity (`SOUL.md`). | **PARTIAL**: Has `/architect` + editor dual-model mode, but relies on lossy Tree-sitter repo maps rather than full-context synthesis. | **PARTIAL**: Plan/Act toggle exists, but shares a bloated tool-heavy system prompt. | **100% NATIVE PASS**: Mode A (Holistic Web Architect with zero-tool-noise $n^2$ attention, GOAL framing, Skills Playbooks, $>100$-line iterative loop) + Mode B (Surgical CLI Implementer + `COD_SIMPLE=true`). |
-| **4. Attention Budget Governor ($60	ext{--}80\%$ Target)** | **PARTIAL**: Displays exact token meter and compacts within 16,384 tokens of window limit (~92% on 200K), which is above the 60–80% context-rot ceiling. | **PARTIAL**: 5-layer compaction pipeline, but exact trigger threshold is opaque and nears capacity before auto-compacting ([arXiv:2604.14228v3](https://arxiv.org/html/2604.14228v3)). | **FAIL**: Truncates or compacts late near context overflow. | **PARTIAL**: Has `hermes_state_compression.py` and holographic memory, but not governed at a strict 60–80% full-context ceiling. | **FAIL**: Aggressively compresses codebase into a tiny Tree-sitter repo map (often <10K tokens) even when 500K–1M context is available. | **FAIL**: Reactive sliding-window truncation when approaching context window limit. | **100% NATIVE PASS**: Real-time token governor enforcing full in-context $n^2$ loading up to 60% soft / 75% hard ceiling, triggering `project_knowledge_search` and Two-Tier Compaction before 80%. |
-| **5. Multi-Agent Clean-Context Spawning** | **PASS (via Extension)**: Core Pi omits sub-agents, but `@heretek-ai/pi-configs` uses `Pi-Agents-Team` child-process RPC returning only `` blocks ([`@heretek-ai/pi-configs`](https://pi.dev/packages/@heretek-ai/pi-configs)). | **PASS**: Spawns isolated sub-agents (`Explore`, `Verification`) returning summary-only text ([arXiv:2604.14228v3](https://arxiv.org/html/2604.14228v3)). | **PARTIAL**: `task` tool spawns sub-sessions, but lacks git worktree isolation and adversarial spot-check gates. | **PARTIAL**: Worker pool (`hermes_state_runtime_workers.py`), but lacks read-only `Explore` (>3 Glob/Grep trigger) and `07_verification_agent.md` rules. | **FAIL**: Single-threaded interactive CLI loop. | **FAIL**: Single-window VS Code extension loop (experimental sub-tasks lack git worktree isolation). | **100% NATIVE PASS**: Native `/goal` Git Worktree Coordinator, auto-triggered Read-Only `Explore` sub-agent (>3 queries $
ightarrow$ 1–2K brief), `Compact Service`, and Adversarial Verifier with lead spot-check. |
-| **6. Headless & Multi-Session Concurrency** | **PASS**: Supports CLI, JSON, print, RPC, and TypeScript SDK modes (`earendil-works/pi`), though remote CBOR server is marked experimental. | **PASS**: Headless CLI (`-p` / SDK) supporting concurrent processes. | **PASS**: Client-server HTTP/SSE daemon architecture. | **PASS**: Headless daemon, gateway, and CLI (`hermes-dashboard`). | **PARTIAL**: CLI-first; scriptable but not a multi-session RPC daemon. | **FAIL**: Coupled to VS Code GUI extension host. | **100% NATIVE PASS**: Headless async daemon + CLI + JSON-RPC/HTTP-SSE server supporting parallel git-worktree sessions, 5-min TTL heartbeat scheduler, and local policy proxy. |

-## 3. Deep-Dive Architectural Synthesis: Why We Build `cod.ai` Core with Native Pi Compatibility
-
-### 3.1 What We Adopt Directly from Pi (`earendil-works/pi`) & `@heretek-ai/pi-configs`
-Your intuition to look into **Pi** is spot-on. Our OSINT revealed two critical facts:
-1. **Pi's Core Design Philosophy is Cache Stability**: As documented in [Inside the Pi Harness](https://rohitghumare.com/blog/inside-the-pi-harness/), Pi is built around a single axiom: *"A harness is a machine for keeping prefixes stable."* Specifically:
-   - **Append-Only JSONL Tree (`session.jsonl`)**: Every message entry has an `id` and `parentId`. Branching, rewinding, or switching from Architect exploration to surgical implementation is achieved by moving the active leaf pointer or branching from a common ancestor node—preserving 100% of the cached prefix before the branch point.
-   - **Cache-Aware Refusal to Mutate Mid-Transcript**: Pi proved mathematically that deleting a 2,000-token tool output from the middle of a 150,000-token conversation forces the provider to re-bill all 148,000 subsequent tokens at the uncached rate:
-     $$\text{Rewrite Cost} \approx T_{\text{surviving}} \times (P_{\text{uncached}} - P_{\text{cache\_read}}) \gg \text{Per-Turn Savings} \approx T_{\text{pruned}} \times P_{\text{cache\_read}}$$
-     Therefore, Stage 1 **Micro-Compaction** in `cod.ai` must ONLY prune tool outputs that sit **after the last cached prefix breakpoint** (or batch-prune at the exact moment a new cache breakpoint or Stage 2 compaction occurs), never mutating tokens behind an active cache breakpoint!
-   - **The "Cache Re-billed" Telemetry Meter**: Tracking exact dollar and token losses from TTL expirations (`cache miss after >5m idle`) and model switches.
-2. **Existing Heretek-AI Investment (`@heretek-ai/pi-configs`)**: Heretek-AI published `@heretek-ai/pi-configs` v1.2.0 on October 24, 2026 ([pi.dev/packages/@heretek-ai/pi-configs](https://pi.dev/packages/@heretek-ai/pi-configs)) with 71 specialist charters (`AGENTS.md`, `.pi/settings.json`, `.pi/hook/hooks.yaml`, `.pi/skills/*/SKILL.md`).
-
-### 3.2 Why Core Pi Alone Cannot Be Used Unmodified (The 4 Gaps)
-Despite Pi's strengths, using unmodified `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent` as the sole foundation violates Constraint #2 in four specific areas:
-1. **Runtime Constraint in Current VM**: Upstream `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent` requires **Node.js $\ge 22.19$** ([earendil-works/pi README](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/README.md)), whereas our current VM environment has **Python 3.11.2** and **Node.js v18.20.4** (with outbound package installation disabled).
-2. **No Built-In 2-Stage Security Classifier or Proxy**: Pi explicitly treats permissions as an "anti-feature" ("There is no permission system at all; the boundary is the container you run it in"). `cod.ai` Phase 5 requires a built-in **2-Stage Auto-Mode Security Classifier** (`12_yolo_auto_mode_classifier.md` + `17_auto_mode_critique.md`) and a credential-isolating **Tool-Call Inspection Proxy**.
-3. **No Dual-Polarity Holistic Architect Engine**: Core Pi uses a 20-line CLI prompt. It does not natively implement **Mode A ("Holistic Web Architect")** with zero-tool-noise $n^2$ attention, `` iterative $>100$-line section-by-section drafting (`Outline -> Section Generation -> Review -> Final`), and GOAL XML framing.
-4. **Late Compaction Threshold (~92% vs. 60–80% Attention Budget Governor)**: Core Pi triggers compaction within 16,384 tokens of the context limit, whereas `cod.ai` mandates an **Attention Budget Governor** targeting $60	ext{--}80\%$ capacity combined with Claude Code's 9-section `` (`21_compact_service.md`) and top-5 recently accessed file restoration.

-
-## 4. Decision Gate Verdict & Runtime Selection
-
-### Verdict: **BUILD CUSTOM CORE (`cod.ai`) WITH NATIVE PI-TREE & `@heretek-ai/pi-configs` INTEROPERABILITY**
-
-1. **Primary Implementation Language**: **Python 3.11+ (`asyncio` + `httpx` + `pydantic` + `fastapi`/`uvicorn` + `sqlite3` WAL + `rich`)**, with a companion **TypeScript/Node.js Bridge CLI & Extension Loader** compatible with both Node 18+ (local sandbox) and Node 22+ (`@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent` / `@heretek-ai/pi-configs` in Proxmox production).
-   - *Why Python 3.11+ for the Core Daemon & Engine*: Verified present in both the current VM (`Python 3.11.2` with `fastapi`, `httpx`, `pydantic`, `rich`, `click`, `sqlite3` 3.40.1, `selenium`/Chromium) and the target Proxmox VE appliance (`/opt/re-tools-venv`). It allows us to execute, test, and adversarially verify 100% of Phases 2, 3, 4, and 5 immediately inside this VM with zero external dependencies.
-   - *Why Native Pi Interoperability*: `cod.ai` will natively read and write Pi's `session.jsonl` tree format (`id`, `parentId`, `retainedTail`) and natively load `@heretek-ai/pi-configs` specialist directories (`agents//AGENTS.md`, `.pi/settings.json`, `.pi/hook/hooks.yaml`, `.pi/skills//SKILL.md`), allowing all 71 Heretek-AI specialists to run inside `cod.ai`'s Dual-Polarity, Cache-Governed, Proxy-Contained engine!

-## 1. Problem Statement & Forensic Audit Summary
-
-During the Phase 1 Harness Evaluation for [`Heretek-AI/cod.ai`](https://github.com/Heretek-AI/cod.ai) (`docs/01_harness_decision_matrix.md`), we audited [Pi (`@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent`)](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi) combined with [`@heretek-ai/pi-configs` (v1.2.0)](https://pi.dev/packages/@heretek-ai/pi-configs) against our **Six Non-Negotiable Architectural Invariants**.
-
-While `@heretek-ai/pi-configs` natively passes Invariant #2 (Deferred Tool Loading via `pi-mcp-adapter` ~200-token proxy), Invariant #5 (Clean-Context Sub-Agent Spawning via `Pi-Agents-Team` RPC `` extraction), and Invariant #6 (Headless CLI/RPC execution), **three areas scored `PARTIAL` due to extension-level behavior that we can fix directly in `Heretek-AI/pi-configs`**:
-
-1. **Invariant #1 (`PARTIAL` on `/specialist` Mode Switch) — Mid-Session Charter Mutation Busts the Prefix Cache**:
-   - **Root Cause**: Currently in `src/index.ts`, running `/specialist ` dynamically replaces the active session charter in the top-level system prompt (Layer 1). Per the [Anthropic Prompt Caching Specification](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-caching) and [Inside the Pi Harness](https://rohitghumare.com/blog/inside-the-pi-harness/), mutating Layer 1 invalidates 100% of the cached prefix, forcing every subsequent message in the transcript to be re-billed at uncached rates.
-   - **Fix in `Heretek-AI/pi-configs`**: Update `/specialist ` in `src/index.ts` to keep the base 20-line Pi system prompt byte-identical in Layer 1 and inject the specialist's `AGENTS.md` charter at the **tail of Layer 3** using either an Anthropic mid-conversation `role: "system"` block ([Mid-Conversation System Messages](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/mid-conversation-system-messages)) or a structured `` block, OR fork a child DAG branch in `session.jsonl` (`parentId` anchored to the last cached turn).
-2. **Invariant #3 (`PARTIAL` on Dual-Polarity Mode Switching) — Missing Mode A ("Holistic Web Architect") `` Iterative Loop**:
-   - **Root Cause**: While Guild 1 includes `system-architect`, its charter is oriented toward CLI linting (`spectral lint`, `codebase-memory-mcp`) rather than replicating `claude.ai` Web's zero-tool-noise $n^2$ self-attention synthesis and $>100$-line iterative drafting protocol (`Outline -> Section-by-Section Generation -> Review & Refine -> Final Output`).
-   - **Fix in `Heretek-AI/pi-configs`**: Add Specialist #72 (`holistic-web-architect`) to Guild 1 with GOAL XML framing (``, ``, ``, ``), curated Skills Playbooks, and a deterministic `hooks.yaml` post-generation gate that rejects placeholder comments (`// rest of code...`, `TODO: implement`) with exit code `2`.
-3. **Invariant #4 (`PARTIAL` on Attention Budget Governor) — Late Compaction (~92% vs. 60–80% Target) & Missing Adversarial Verifier Specialist**:
-   - **Root Cause**: Default Pi waits until `contextWindow - 16,384` tokens (~92% on 200K) before compacting, well inside the "context rot" zone documented in [Anthropic Context Windows](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/context-windows).
-   - **Fix in `Heretek-AI/pi-configs`**:
-     - Add Specialist #73 (`attention-budget-governor`) & extension hook that monitors Pi's token meter on every turn, enforces a **60% soft / 75% hard attention budget ceiling**, runs cache-safe Stage 1 Micro-Compaction (only pruning tool results *after* the last `cache_control` breakpoint), and triggers the 9-section `` (`21_compact_service.md` with `NO_TOOLS_PREAMBLE` and top-5 file restoration) at 75–80% with `skipCacheWrite: true`.
-     - Add Specialist #74 (`adversarial-verifier`, modeled on `07_verification_agent.md`) to Guild 6 with strict `tool.before.*` exit-code-2 hooks blocking any project file writes outside `/tmp`, enforcing the 5-step Universal Baseline, and returning `VERDICT: PASS|FAIL|PARTIAL` with mandatory lead-agent spot-check commands.

-# Specialist Charter: `adversarial-verifier` (Guild 6 — Modeled on `07_verification_agent.md`)
-
-## 1. Mission & Anti-Rationalization Directives
-You are an independent Adversarial Verification Agent triggered on any non-trivial implementation (3+ file edits, API/backend changes, or core logic).
-- **Reading code is NOT verification — run it.**
-- **The implementer is an LLM — verify independently.** Never trust self-reported test passes or comments claiming a fix works.
-- **Zero Project Mutation**: You are strictly forbidden from modifying project files (`Edit` and `Write` outside `/tmp` are blocked with exit code `2`). You may write ephemeral test harnesses only under `/tmp`.
-- **Zero Child Spawning**: You may not delegate or spawn sub-agents (`dispatch_specialist` blocked with exit code `2`).
-
-## 2. The 5-Step Universal Baseline
-1. Read build and test configuration files.
-2. Execute the project build and capture exact exit code and stdout/stderr.
-3. Execute the test suite.
-4. Execute static linters and type-checkers.
-5. Execute adversarial boundary, concurrency, and headless browser/HTTP probes.
-
-## 3. Mandatory Output Verdict
-Conclude your report with exactly one of:
-- `VERDICT: PASS` (plus 2–3 exact spot-check commands the lead agent MUST re-run to confirm authenticity)
-- `VERDICT: FAIL` (with exact stack traces and reproduction commands)
-- `VERDICT: PARTIAL` (specifying what passed and what could not be verified)

-# Specialist Charter: `attention-budget-governor` (Guild 8 — Context & Compaction Service)
-
-## 1. Mission (Modeled on `21_compact_service.md`)
-You govern the session's context window utilization to prevent context rot before hitting 80% capacity while preserving Anthropic's byte-identical prefix cache.
-
-## 2. NO_TOOLS_PREAMBLE
-CRITICAL: Respond with TEXT ONLY. Do NOT call any tools. Any tool call in this compaction turn will waste the single-turn compaction budget and fail the service.
-
-## 3. Mandatory Output Structure
-First, reason chronologically through the conversation inside `...` tags (which the harness parser strips before re-injection).
-Second, emit a `...` block containing all 9 mandatory sections:
-1. Primary Request and Intent
-2. Key Technical Concepts
-3. Files and Code Sections (with exact file paths and signatures)
-4. Errors and Fixes
-5. Problem Solving
-6. All User Messages (verbatim intent preservation)
-7. Pending Tasks
-8. Current Work
-9. Optional Next Step

-# Specialist Charter: `holistic-web-architect` (Guild 1 — Mode A Holistic Web Architect)
-
-## 1. Mission & Polarity
-You operate in **Mode A ("Holistic Web Architect")**, modeled on `claude.ai` Web's Artifacts (``) and Skills architecture. Your role is greenfield system architecture, complex multi-module refactoring, data/API schema design, and high-craft UI/UX synthesis with **100% in-context $n^2$ self-attention purity** (zero noisy bash/grep logs in context).
-
-## 2. The GOAL Philosophy & Positive XML Framing
-Every architectural specification and module you produce MUST be structured using positive directives inside four canonical XML blocks:
-- ``: Verified system boundaries, environment constraints, and upstream/downstream dependencies.
-- ``: The "Why" and architectural invariants before any implementation mechanics, including explicit trade-off analysis.
-- ``: Hard performance, security, cache-preservation, and zero-truncation boundaries.
-- ``: Complete, production-ready interfaces, schemas, and module implementations.
-
-## 3. Zero-Truncation & Iterative Drafting Mandate (>100 Lines)
-For any file, specification, or module exceeding 100 lines, you MUST execute the 4-stage iterative drafting loop:
-1. **Stage 1 — Structural Outline**: Define exact module boundaries, exported types, state transitions, and line-item section budgets.
-2. **Stage 2 — Section-by-Section Generation**: Draft each section in full without elision.
-3. **Stage 3 — Review & Refine**: Audit internal consistency, edge-case coverage, and import/type completeness.
-4. **Stage 4 — Final Un-Truncated Output**: Emit the complete implementation.
-
-**STRICT BAN ON PLACEHOLDERS**: You are strictly forbidden from emitting `// rest of code...`, `# ... existing implementation ...`, `TODO: implement`, `pass # placeholder`, or elided blocks (`...`). The pre-commit hook (`hooks.yaml`) deterministically blocks any output containing truncation markers with exit code `2`.

-- **Complete State Coverage**: Every interactive component must implement `idle`, `loading`, `empty`, `error`, and `populated` states without stubbed handlers.

-- **Strict Separation of Concerns**: Decouple state storage (append-only DAG JSONL / SQLite WAL), prompt assembly (immutable Layer 1 & Layer 2 prefixes), tool execution, and containment proxies.
-- **Explicit Trade-Off Analysis**: Every design must evaluate latency, token cost (cache write vs. read multipliers), blast radius, and failure recovery before selecting an implementation pattern.
-- **Complete Interface Contracts**: Define strict typed schemas (Pydantic models / TypeScript interfaces) for all inter-module boundaries before writing business logic.
-- **Zero-Truncation Mandate**: Every file or specification >100 lines must follow the 4-stage iterative drafting loop (Outline -> Section-by-Section Generation -> Review & Refine -> Final Output) with zero placeholder comments.

-- **Shell Operator Decomposition**: Parse every composite shell command (`|`, `&&`, `;`, `$()`, backticks) and evaluate each subcommand independently against `allow` and `soft_deny` rules.
-- **Least-Privilege Filesystem & Network**: Enforce `bwrap --unshare-all` (or rootless process isolation) and restrict outbound network traffic to allowlisted endpoints (`re-firewall`).

-"""
-Two-Tier Context Compression (`/src/agents/compaction.py`).
-Implements Phase 4.3:
-  - Stage 1 (`Micro-Compaction`):
-      Cache-aware pruning of stale raw tool outputs in message history.
-      Honoring Pi's arithmetic proof (`Inside the Pi Harness`), Stage 1 ONLY prunes tool outputs
-      that sit AFTER `last_cached_message_index` (or during a scheduled cache breakpoint advance),
-      never mutating tokens behind an active cache breakpoint!
-  - Stage 2 (`Compact Service` — modeled on `21_compact_service.md`):
-      Triggered when context utilization approaches 80% (75% hard governor ceiling).
-      1. Injects `NO_TOOLS_PREAMBLE` (strictly forbidding tool calls so the single turn is never wasted).
-      2. Requires chronological reasoning inside `...` tags.
-      3. Parser strips `...` before injection so scratchpad reasoning never bloats context.
-      4. Validates the structured 9-section `...`:
-         (1. Primary Request, 2. Key Technical Concepts, 3. Files & Code Snippets,
-          4. Errors & Fixes, 5. Problem Solving, 6. All User Messages,
-          7. Pending Tasks, 8. Current Work, 9. Next Step).
-      5. Re-initializes the context window with:
-         Layer 1 + Layer 2 + `` + full text of the 5 most recently accessed files.

-     - Every turn entry has `id` and `parentId`.
-     - `/tree` moves the active leaf pointer anywhere in the file without deleting history.
-     - Branching from an earlier node preserves 100% of the cached prefix up to the branch point.
-     - Compactions attach a materialized `retainedTail` checkpoint node.
-  2. The "Cache Re-billed" Meter:
-     - Tracks cumulative `cache_read_input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and uncached `input_tokens`.
-     - Computes exact dollar cost re-billed due to cache misses (`model_switch`, `ttl_expired_idle`, `prefix_mutation`)

-Adversarial Verification Agent (`/src/agents/verifier.py` — Modeled on `07_verification_agent.md`).
-Implements Phase 4.5:
-  - Triggered automatically on any non-trivial implementation (3+ file edits, API/backend changes, or core logic).
-  - Strictly disallows project file modifications (`Read` and test execution only; `/tmp` allowed for ephemeral test harnesses).
-  - Strictly disallows spawning child agents.
-  - Injects explicit anti-rationalization directives:
-      * "Reading code is not verification — run it."
-      * "The implementer is an LLM — verify independently."
-  - Mandates the 5-Step Universal Baseline:
-      (1) Read build/test config
-      (2) Run build
-      (3) Run test suite
-      (4) Run linters/type-checkers
-      (5) Execute adversarial concurrency/boundary probes (including headless Chromium checks for UI/web endpoints)
-  - Returns `VERDICT: PASS`, `VERDICT: FAIL`, or `VERDICT: PARTIAL`.
-  - On `VERDICT: PASS`, forces the Lead Agent to spot-check and re-run 2-3 commands from the verifier's report
-    to confirm output authenticity!

-"""
-3-Layer Cache-Control Assembler (`/src/context/cache_assembler.py`).
-Grounded in verified October 2026 Anthropic Prompt Caching & Tool Search specifications:
-  - Prefix hierarchy: `tools` -> `system` -> `messages`.
-  - Model-aware minimum cacheable token thresholds:
-      * 512 tokens: claude-fable-5-1, claude-mythos-5-1, claude-opus-5-5, claude-opus-5, claude-sonnet-5-5, claude-haiku-5-5
-      * 1,024 tokens: claude-opus-4-8, claude-sonnet-5, claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-sonnet-4-5
-      * 2,048 tokens: claude-opus-4-7, claude-haiku-3-5
-      * 4,096 tokens: claude-opus-4-6, claude-opus-4-5, claude-haiku-4-5
-  - Deferred Tool Loading (`ToolSearch` pattern):
-      * Core tools (`defer_loading: False`) carry the `tools` cache breakpoint.
-      * Deferred MCP/extended tools (`defer_loading: True`) NEVER carry `cache_control` (prevents HTTP 400).
-      * Full schemas are expanded via `tool_reference` or Layer 3 `tool_addition` (`inline-tools-2026-09-15`).
-  - Immutable SHA-256 Prefix Guard on Layer 1 (`tools` + `system`) and Layer 2 (`CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md`).
-  - Layer 3 Mid-Session Injection via `` or `role: "system"` (`clear_at: "next_user_message"`).

-Model-Affinity Router, Attention Budget Governor ($60-80\%$), & Hybrid Retrieval (`/src/context/router_and_retrieval.py`).
-Solves the two catastrophic token-burn traps documented in our foundational research:
-  1. Model-Switch Cache Trap:
-     - Locks the primary conversation loop to a single frontier model per session (e.g., `claude-opus-5-5` or `claude-sonnet-5-5`).
-     - Prevents mid-session model switching on the main transcript (which forces a cold cache write).
-     - Routes lightweight utility tasks (`20_session_title.md` -> 3-7 word JSON title; `22_away_summary.md` ->
-       1-3 sentence idle recap of last 30 messages) to isolated, stateless Haiku (`claude-haiku-5-5` or `claude-haiku-4-5`)
-       calls with `thinking: disabled` and `skipCacheWrite: True` (no `cache_control` markers).
-  2. Lossy RAG vs. Full In-Context $n^2$ Attention Governor:
-     - Enforces 100% full in-context file loading when working set utilization is below the 60% soft ceiling
-       (up to 500K-1M tokens on supported frontier models).
-     - Engages local lexical/BM25+filename-weighted `project_knowledge_search` ONLY when repository knowledge
-       approaches the 60-80% Attention Budget Governor ceiling, indexing descriptive filenames with high weight.

-5-Minute TTL Keep-Alive & Batching Scheduler (`/src/context/ttl_scheduler.py`).
-Grounded in verified Anthropic Prompt Caching mechanics:
-  - Ephemeral cache TTL is 300 seconds (5 minutes) by default (or 3,600s if `ttl="1h"`).
-  - CRITICAL OSINT FACT: The 300-second lifetime is measured from the START of the request
-    that writes or reads the cache entry, NOT from the end of response streaming!
-  - Tracks exact request-start timestamps per active session, issues pre-expiration warnings,
-    queues non-urgent micro-edits when the cache is cold or batching is enabled, and provides
-    an optional lightweight 1-token keep-alive ping when holding >50K cached tokens.

-2-Stage Auto-Mode Security Classifier & Rule Critique Utility (`/src/security/classifier.py`).
-Modeled on Claude Code's `12_yolo_auto_mode_classifier.md` and `17_auto_mode_critique.md`:
-  1. Evaluates tool invocations against configurable `allow`, `soft_deny`, and `environment` rules
-     plus `` intent.
-  2. Strips untrusted raw `tool_result` outputs from the classifier's input so hostile file content
-     cannot prompt-inject the security approver!
-  3. Shell-Operator Aware Decomposition: Every subcommand of a pipe (`|`) or chain (`&&`, `;`, `||`)
-     must pass independently; a `soft_deny` rule always overrides an `allow` rule.
-  4. Two-Stage Evaluation:
-     - Stage 1 (Fast Low-Latency Check): Deterministic regex/AST rule evaluation (<1ms).
-     - Stage 2 (Extended Thinking Escalation): Triggered when blast radius or reversibility
-       (e.g., `git push --force`, `rm -rf`, `DROP TABLE`, CI/CD workflow mutations, `re-firewall unmask`)
-       is ambiguous or high-risk.
-  5. `cod auto-mode critique` Utility (`17_auto_mode_critique.md`):
-     Audits user permission rules for clarity, gaps, conflicts (overlapping allow/deny), and actionability.

-Tool-Call Inspection Proxy & Pluggable Proxmox VM / gVisor Sandbox (`/src/security/proxy_sandbox.py`).
-Implements Phase 5.1 ("How We Contain Claude" + `Heretek-AI/ProxmoxVE` defense-in-depth architecture):
-  1. Credential Isolation at the Proxy Boundary:
-     - Raw API keys (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `API_SERVER_KEY`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, `HERETEK_LLM_KEY`)
-       are stored in an out-of-sandbox Vault memory space and explicitly scrubbed from the
-       agent worker's environment variables (`os.environ`) and readable filesystem paths.
-     - When the agent makes an outbound LLM or MCP HTTP request through the local `127.0.0.1`
-       policy proxy, the proxy verifies the target host against the allowlist (e.g.,
-       `api.anthropic.com`, `llm.heretek.one`) and injects the `x-api-key` / `Authorization`
-       header on the wire.
-     - Inspects outbound payloads and inbound tool outputs to block prompt-injection credential
-       exfiltration attempts.
-  2. Pluggable OS Sandbox Driver:
-     - Automatically detects whether `bwrap` (`bubblewrap`) + `re-firewall` (`iptables`) are
-       available (target Proxmox VE LXC/VM appliance) or falls back to rootless Linux namespace/process
-       isolation (current Debian 12 gVisor VM).

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] Add compaction, the memory tool and a bubblewrap shell
 sandbox

- Requests turn on server-side compaction (compact_20260112, default
  trigger 150k input tokens); compaction blocks are stored and resent.
- The memory_20250818 tool keeps notes in .cod/memory/, with paths and
  symlinks confined to that folder. Whether a session has it is saved in
  the session header so the tool list stays fixed across resumes.
- Shell commands run under bwrap when installed: read-only system,
  hidden home, writable project and /tmp, read-only .cod/.
- The file tools can no longer write into .cod/, so Claude can't grant
  itself permissions.
- The REPL prints token usage after each turn.

+Claude can keep notes for a project in `.cod/memory/` with the memory tool, and checks them at the start of a task. Memory writes don't ask for approval because they can't leave that folder; a rule such as `"deny": ["memory(delete *)"]` restricts them.

Subject: [PATCH 6/7] Add agent mode to the web GUI and a read-only explore
 sub-agent

- Web GUI: a Chat / Agent mode selector. Agent mode runs the coding
  agent on `cod serve --root`, shows tool calls as cards, and asks for
  approval in the browser; sessions live in .cod/sessions/ and resume
  after a restart. Closing the stream stops the turn.
- The API now rejects requests whose Host isn't loopback (DNS rebinding)
  and POSTs without the per-process token embedded in the page.
- `explore` tool: a sub-agent on an in-memory session with only
  read_file, glob and grep, returning a report; its usage counts toward
  the turn.

+`explore` is handled by the engine itself. It starts a second `Agent` on an in-memory session with its own system prompt, the read-only tools only, and a policy that denies everything else. Its last text message becomes the tool result. The parent's history holds only that report.

+
+`src/agent/web.py` puts the same engine behind HTTP. The server owns the session; the page sends only prompts.
+
+| Route | Purpose |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `POST /api/agent/sessions` | Start a session: `{model, effort, thinking_display, mode: "default" \| "accept-edits"}` |
+| `POST /api/agent/sessions/{id}/turns` | Run a turn: `{prompt, effort}`, answered with an event stream (`start`, `block`, `delta`, `tool_call`, `approval`, `tool_output`, `fallback`, `compaction`, `done`, `error`) |
+| `POST /api/agent/sessions/{id}/approvals/{approval_id}` | Answer an `approval` event: `{answer: "yes" \| "no" \| "always"}` |
+
+While a turn waits for approval, the engine awaits a future that the approval route resolves. Closing the event stream cancels the turn, and the engine records the unfinished tool calls as interrupted. Sessions survive a server restart: an unknown id is loaded from `.cod/sessions/`.
+
+All `/api/` requests must have a loopback `Host` header, and all POSTs must carry the per-process `X-Cod-Token` that the server writes into the page.
+
 ## Web chat
 
 `cod serve` runs a local chat interface for the Claude Messages API. It has two parts: `src/web_server.py`, a FastAPI server, and `web/index.html`, a single page with no build step and no framework.

 Claude can keep notes for a project in `.cod/memory/` with the memory tool, and checks them at the start of a task. Memory writes don't ask for approval because they can't leave that folder; a rule such as `"deny": ["memory(delete *)"]` restricts them.
 
+### Explore sub-agent
+
+For broad searches, Claude can hand a question to `explore`: a sub-agent with its own context that can only read, glob and grep. It returns a short report with file:line references, so the files it read don't fill the main conversation. Its token usage is counted in the turn's total.
+
 ### Sessions
 
 Each session is an append-only JSONL file in `.cod/sessions/` holding the model, the system prompt and every message as sent. A refused turn is dropped from the history so you can rephrase. Add `.cod/sessions/` to your project's `.gitignore`.

-A plain chat with streaming, thinking summaries, model and effort selectors and per-reply token usage. It has no tools. The API key stays on the server and the page has no authentication, so `cod serve` binds only loopback addresses unless you pass `--allow-remote`. `COD_PROJECT_CONTEXT=0` leaves this repository's `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` out of its system prompt, and `COD_FALLBACKS=0` turns off the refusal fallback. See [DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md) for how requests are built.
+The mode selector picks one of two modes for a new conversation:

+- **Chat**: a plain chat with streaming, thinking summaries, model and effort selectors and per-reply token usage. It has no tools, and the history lives in the browser.
+- **Agent**: the terminal agent on `--root`, with the same tools, permission rules and sessions (`.cod/sessions/`). Tool calls appear as cards, and calls that need approval show Allow, Always allow and Deny buttons. "Agent, accept edits" applies file edits without asking. Stopping a turn stops the agent.

Every API request must be addressed to a loopback host, which blocks DNS rebinding, and every POST must carry a token that is embedded in the page and changes each time the server starts. `cod serve` binds only loopback addresses unless you pass `--allow-remote`, which turns the host check off: then anyone who can load the page can spend your credits and, in agent mode, work in your files. `COD_PROJECT_CONTEXT=0` leaves this repository's `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` out of its system prompt, and `COD_FALLBACKS=0` turns off the refusal fallback. See [DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md) for how requests are built.

+In chat mode the browser owns the conversation history and sends it back each
+turn. The server only ever appends to it, so prompt caching and preserved
+thinking keep working: assistant turns are echoed back exactly as the API
+returned them. Agent mode (`src/agent/web.py`) runs the coding agent on the
+project root instead, with sessions kept on the server.
+
+Two checks guard the API, since it spends the user's credits and agent mode
+touches their files. Every `/api/` request must name a loopback host in its
+`Host` header, which defeats DNS rebinding, and every POST must carry the
+token embedded in the served page as `X-Cod-Token`, which another site can't
+read or send.
