The shell now imports through exactly two barrels, enforced by
import/no-restricted-paths (npm run lint):
components/** -> "@/src/core" (pure core API, browser-safe)
app/** -> "@/src/core" + "@/src/server" (server entries)
Zone violations are lint errors with architecture-pointer messages; the
pure-core modules (contracts, question-core, plan-tree, phases, pending,
math-delims, ui-message) may never import agent/server/store.
Supporting moves (direction: IO layers -> core):
- core/index.ts: the core public API barrel
- core/ui-message.ts: moved from src/agent (it was shell-facing all along)
- quiz/ask input zod schemas moved agent/tools -> core/question-core
(the question contract, alongside the grading logic)
- ChatRecord/ChatSummary moved store/chats -> core/contracts (single schema)
- GraphSnapshot/NodeStateClass moved core/graph -> core/contracts (the
/api/graph payload IS a contract; the pure renderer needs only these)
- src/server/{chats,graph,jobs}.ts + index.ts: thin server entries for the
transport layer; GET /api/graph's fold side-effect now lives behind
graphView() instead of inline in the route
Gates: tsc clean, 190/190 tests, eslint clean (law verified to fire on
store/agent/subpath violations), production build clean.
(Repo repair en route: a git object (app/chat/[id] tree) was missing from
the object store — reconstructed byte-exactly via mktree from its blob;
the broken node_modules that stalled the build was cleanly reinstalled.)
Delete src/extract/ (pi-session normalize/extract/merge stubs), src/ledger.ts,
src/schema.ts, src/derive.ts, src/queries/, src/cli.ts (npm run ingest/graph/
what-next), data/legacy-graph/, data/agent/ (pi agentDir vestige), and their
config.ts/package.json references.
The retroactive-bootstrap goal is dropped: the live chat store (AI SDK
UIMessages) is the only session format now, and the old pi JSONLs in
data/sessions/ stay on disk, inert. contracts.ts is the single schema.
- src/store/jobs.ts: per-job JSON store in data/jobs (create/get/update/list,
dedup by toolCallId)
- src/agent/tools/jobs.ts: research tool — client-side (no execute), turn ends
at the call; input per contracts ResearchToolInput
- src/agent/tools/web.ts: server-side web_search (Google CSE) + web_fetch
(Readability/Turndown/linkedom, Jina fallback) — errors return as strings,
never thrown into the agent loop. Deps: @mozilla/readability, linkedom,
turndown (+@types/turndown dev)
- src/agent/subagents/researcher.ts: isolated ToolLoopAgent (web tools only,
12-step cap), researcher prompt ported from pi
- src/agent/subagents/runner.ts: spawnPendingJobs hook + runResearchJob —
fire-and-forget, activity line per tool call, fulfills the part in the
LATEST chat record (output-available) before flipping job status; failure
still fulfills the part so the teacher learns the outcome
- src/server/chat-handler.ts: onFinish spawn hook after saveMessages
- app/api/jobs/route.ts: GET ?chatId= polling endpoint
- components/artifacts/job-card.tsx + registry entry: polling activity card
(2s) → syncFromServer on finish; research-brief card (markdown + sources)
- src/agent/prompts/20-jobs.md: research doctrine for the teacher
- tests/jobs.test.ts: store CRUD, spawn hook via scripted mock teacher,
runner completion/failure with fake model + stubbed fetch
Layout:
- Home = knowledge-graph placeholder (main view) with new-session input
docked below; session list moved out of home into a hamburger drawer
- SessionDrawer: slide-over session navigation (backdrop/ESC close, active
highlight, fetches /api/chats on open) on both home and chat headers
- Chat header loses the back button — the drawer is the navigation
Math (inline $ was silently not rendering):
- @streamdown/math defaults singleDollarTextMath:false — now
createMathPlugin({ singleDollarTextMath: true }) in message + reasoning
- katex.min.css imported in layout (streamdown does not inject plugin
styles; display math only looked right via browser MathML fallback)
- QuizCard/AnsweredCard route question/options/explanation through
MessageResponse; user chat bubbles render markdown+math too
- Currency hazard: micromark-extension-math@3.1 lacks pandoc's
closing-digit rule, so bare '$5 and $10' parses as math — defense is at
the source: system prompt now instructs escaped \$5 / 'USD' for money
Hydration fix (React #418):
- QuizCard shuffled options with Math.random() — server/client orders
diverged. shuffleOptions now takes an injectable RNG; QuizCard passes
seededRandom(toolCallId) (mulberry32/FNV-1a in question-core). Same
question → same stable order across reloads; still varies per question.
Tests: 53 pass (5 new math-rendering pins incl. fenced-vs-one-line $$
behavior and the escaped-currency contract). tsc + next build clean.
Verified live in browser: inline/display math in text + cards, drawer
open/navigate/active-highlight/ESC, no console errors, no font 404s.
The teaching agent no longer runs on pi. Stack:
- ToolLoopAgent (ai@7) + OpenRouter (OPENROUTER_API_KEY), model via LH_MODEL,
default anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5 with reasoning tokens
- quiz/ask_user_question = client-side tools (no server execute): the call
lands as a typed tool part in input-available state; the card grades via
src/core/question-core.ts; addToolOutput sends the verdict; the teacher's
reaction continues the same assistant message
- resume-mid-quiz is free: the pending tool part persists in the transcript
- persistence: one JSON per chat (data/chats/), full UIMessage transcripts,
saved onFinish (also on abort)
- UI: AI Elements (owned copy-paste components, pruned to the five in use)
+ button-based QuizCard/AnsweredCard (ask answers never graded)
- pi fully removed: TUI, extensions, Fastify+WS server, bridge, custom
protocol all deleted (recoverable from git history)
- tests: question-core units carry over; chat-flow integration drives
handleChatRequest with MockLanguageModelV4 (48 tests, zero tokens);
render smoke tests guard the cards (renderToStaticMarkup)
Carried over unchanged: teacher system prompt, question-core, schema/
ledger/derive/extract pipeline, data model.
