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.)
- Animation: the blob's shell morphs height (WAAPI, 180ms) on every
variant change — chat ↔ question ↔ collapsed bar — plus a quick
fade/rise (160ms) on the swapped content. Gotcha pinned in code: never
measure the shell while a morph is in flight (getBoundingClientRect
reads the ANIMATED value and corrupts the next morph's start height);
cancel running morphs before measuring, refresh settled height only
when no morph is running.
- Gradient-over-scrollbar fixed structurally: the dock is no longer an
absolute overlay on the conversation root — it's sticky bottom-0 INSIDE
the scroller (in flow). The transcript scrolls fully clear of the dock,
the fade never touches the scrollbar lane, and the pb-hack clearances
are gone.
- New question while at the bottom scrolls to reveal the dock; scrolled
up → collapsed bar, no yank.
- Thin dark native scrollbar app-wide (8px webkit + scrollbar-width:thin,
dark thumb, transparent track). Note: use-stick-to-bottom sets
scrollbar-gutter: stable both-edges on its scroller — the lane is
outside the content flow by design.
- 'Writing a question…' transcript shimmer while a tool call streams its
input (same slot as 'Thinking…'). Protocol pinned by a test asserting
tool-input-start precedes tool-input-available; scripted mock now
streams tool input as deltas like real providers do. (OpenRouter/
Anthropic often delivers the whole input in ONE delta — then the dock
appears instantly and no indicator is needed or shown.)
Verified live: grow 54→349px and shrink 349→54px fire with correct
from/to; collapse/expand intact; gradient stops before the gutter;
Thinking… observed in-page; 58/58 tests.
- A pending quiz/ask now REPLACES the chat composer: one persistent
rounded-2xl shell in the transcript overlay swaps contents (composer ↔
question ↔ collapsed bar), never remounting — the structure a future
grow-morph animation needs.
- Unified bottom row inside the question: the note field (select modes),
the answer field (text-mode asks), or the Other text — one field, one
'Submit answer' button, Enter submits.
- Collapse on scroll: uses useStickToBottomContext — scroll up and the
dock folds to a slim bar (kind chip + LaTeX-flattened question teaser +
'tap to answer'); click scrolls to bottom and re-expands. The expanded
form stays mounted-hidden so a half-made selection survives.
- Pending/streaming tool parts no longer render inline; answered parts
land in the transcript as graded cards on submit. Question generation
shows a shimmer in the shell.
- Composer back to pure chat (no mode machinery); quiz-card.tsx and the
pendingText/registerSubmit bridge deleted; render tests re-pointed at
the dock (wrapped in StickToBottom).
Verified live: docked quiz submit (note+selection), ask-text Enter
submit, collapse/expand with selection survival, bar teaser text.
