- components/chat-transport.ts (NEW): createChatTransport(chatId) — the
chat.tsx seam is now a one-line swap. Its fetch turns a 409 on POST
/api/chat (a learner send racing the wake pipeline's ~1s adoption window)
into: wait out the in-flight turn (poll turnInFlight, 30s cap), refetch
the record, MERGE the outgoing messages onto the fresh server list, re-POST.
A bare retry would clobber the steer + wake messages via the write-ahead
persist (steerDelivered makes that loss permanent) — merging is the whole
point. Unit-tested: pass-through, wait+merge+reorder, dedupe by id,
repeated-409 loop, bounded give-up.
- src/core/pending.ts: findPendingJobCall deleted (dead since wave 1 —
job tools resolve server-side with an ack, nothing pends client-side).
JOB_TOOLS kept (runner.ts still uses it). Header doc rewritten.
- src/server/jobs.ts: GRACE_MS 1500 → 750, with the evidence in the
comment: the race window is only the learner's answer→POST flight
(sendAutomaticallyWhen dispatches synchronously; ~10ms localhost,
<300ms realistic RTT — 750 is 2.5× worst case) and misses self-heal
via the pump's gate recheck, the 409 backoff ramp, and the new
transport merge-retry. POLL_MS=400 kept (sampling granularity only).
- tests/jobs.test.ts: prompt-size guard — every fragment ≤8k chars,
composed prompt ≤60k — the README-leak class (815 bytes ≈ 200 tokens
per teacher turn before wave 1's fix) can't silently recur.
Gates: typecheck, 279/279 tests, lint, build — all green.
Sidebar (replaces the modal drawer):
- Inline, toggleable, no backdrop/focus theft — can stay open while working
- Open state persists across pages (provider in root layout) and reloads
(localStorage; starts closed server-side to avoid hydration mismatch,
stored value applied post-mount; default open on first run)
- Hamburger in page headers only when closed; close button in sidebar header
Floating composer blob (per reference screenshot):
- Floats over the transcript (absolute overlay), persists at bottom while
scrolling, content fades behind it (gradient mask); pb-44 scroll clearance
- Concentric corner radii: blob rounded-2xl(16px) − p-1.5(6px) = send
rounded-[10px] = 25% of the 40px button; CornerDownLeft icon per reference
- Stop moved from header into the blob (busy → square icon)
- prompt-input.tsx + 7 orphan ui files pruned (attachments/command palette
unused); hand-rolled Composer is ~100 lines and render-tested
Pending-question morph (one text field on screen, never two):
- Quiz/ask-select pending → blob becomes the note field (send hidden, hint
line above); card's internal note input removed; Submit consumes it
- Ask free-text pending → blob becomes the answer field; its send submits
via the card's registered submit api (ref bridge); Enter works
- Chat owns the single text state; card clears it on submit
- canSend for answer mode mirrors the card predicate directly — reading the
ref during render lagged one commit (found in browser testing)
Widths: one shared column (max-w-3xl + px-4) for transcript, cards, and
composer — all three measured pixel-identical (left 416, width 736).
Assistant Message max-w-full/MessageContent w-full (was max-w-[95%]/w-fit —
the 'cards are a bit shorter' bug).
User messages render plain text again — no math pipeline on learner-authored
text (currency hazard accepted for the model only, guarded by the prompt).
Tests: 58 pass (5 new composer pins; card tests updated to controlled
props). Verified live: note flow, answer flow, sidebar persistence, float,
fade, zero console errors — plus the live model spontaneously honoring the
$ currency escape contract in a continuation.
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.
