Linux distros like Fedora atomic, bazzite, and uBlue use /var/home as the home path. Avoid this being blocked as a system path by checking if the workspace is under home BEFORE checking if its a system path
Captures the design philosophy authored by Aron Prins (lead UI/UX) so contributors have a written bar to design against before touching primary surfaces. Modestly expanded from the source doc with concrete examples (mobile stress test, decision checklist, surface-by-surface guidance) but keeps the original principles and voice intact. Linked from CONTRIBUTING.md docs list. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
The System settings pane (settingsPaneSystem) had no Save Settings button. Users could type a new password or click Disable Auth but had no way to submit the password change since Save was only in Appearance/Preferences panes. - Added Save Settings button to System pane - Added 5 tests verifying the fix and preventing regression
…viewed (#1140) - Track unread job IDs in _cronNewJobIds Set alongside _cronUnreadCount - Render green dot indicator on cron items with new completions - Add has-new-run CSS class to Last Output card for unviewed jobs - Clear unread state only when user opens specific job detail (not on panel open) - Add pulse animation for new-run dots - Badge count decrements per-job instead of resetting on panel switch
7 test cases covering: - External symlink dirs listed with correct type/is_dir/target - Browsing into external symlink dirs via workspace-relative path - Self-referencing symlinks filtered (ln -s . link) - Ancestor symlinks filtered (ln -s .. link) - Cycle symlinks inside symlink targets filtered - Symlink file entries with size - Path traversal still blocked with symlink support
… tree When workspace contains symlinks pointing outside the workspace root (e.g. ln -s /root/obsidian ~/workspace/obsidian), the directory listing could recurse infinitely if the symlink target contains a symlink back to the workspace or its ancestors. The original cycle detection only ran when the symlink target was inside the workspace root, missing the common case of external symlinks. Changes: - Move cycle detection outside the workspace-relative check so it runs for all symlinks regardless of target location - Skip symlinks that point to the workspace root, the current directory, or any ancestor of the current directory - Properly type symlink entries with 'type: symlink' and 'is_dir' field so the frontend can render them correctly (folder icon + expand arrow) - Maintain workspace-relative paths for entries inside symlink targets so navigation continues to work across the workspace boundary
CI locale tests require all English keys present in every locale. Added status_profile, status_started, status_tokens, status_no_tokens, status_unknown with English placeholder values to ru, es, de, zh.
…arted time (#463) - Backend: session_status() now includes input_tokens, output_tokens, total_tokens, estimated_cost (previously only in /usage endpoint) - Frontend: cmdStatus() shows provider, profile, started timestamp, token usage with cost, alongside existing fields - i18n: added status_profile, status_started, status_tokens, status_no_tokens, status_unknown keys in en, zh-Hant, ko locales - Tests: extended test_status_returns_summary to verify new fields
- messages.js: compute per-turn token/cost delta from cumulative usage at done event and store as _turnUsage on the last assistant message - ui.js: render per-turn usage on each assistant bubble that has _turnUsage, replacing the misleading cumulative-total-on-last-bubble - The context ring/composer footer still shows cumulative totals - Preserves backwards compatibility: old messages without _turnUsage simply won't show inline usage (no visual regression)
…sessions remain visible when the user enables CLI session display PR #1143 changed read_importable_agent_session_rows() default to exclude cron sessions, but get_cli_sessions() is the function that serves the "show CLI sessions" sidebar feature. The exclusion should only apply inside all_sessions() (the default WebUI session list), not at the CLI import layer.
Blockers: - messages.js: capture prevIn/prevOut/prevCost before S.session overwrite (#1159) - workspace.py safe_resolve_ws+list_dir: block symlink targets in system dirs (#1149) - models.py: pass exclude_sources=None in get_cli_sessions() — done earlier (#1143) Minor: - panels.js: derive _cronUnreadCount from _cronNewJobIds.size (no phantom counts) - ui.js: tighten _isContextCompactionMessage to role===assistant only (#1142) - workspace.py: add HOME sanity guard in resolve_trusted_workspace (#1165)
- ui.js: revert _isContextCompactionMessage guard (test validates role===tool check) - routes.py: apply _hide_from_default_sidebar to deduped_cli in /api/sessions - panels.js: restore _cronUnreadCount var with Set.size sync in updateCronBadge
This reverts commit 08c61e1.
…keeping
Two issues caught during /review-pr:
1. test_symlink_cycle_detection.py — 7 tests fail in CI on 3.11/3.12/3.13.
The PR description claimed they "pass in CI" but they don't. Root cause:
`tmp_path_factory.mktemp("ws")` creates dirs under /var/folders (macOS) or
/tmp (Linux), neither of which is under home. After the workspace.py
tightening in this batch, these paths fail trust resolution at session
creation with HTTP 400 ("Path is outside the user home directory").
Fix: register the workspace via /api/workspaces/add before requesting a
session. validate_workspace_to_add is more permissive than
resolve_trusted_workspace (only blocks system roots), so tmp paths pass.
2. panels.js cron unread bookkeeping — _cronUnreadCount was being incremented
in two places that updateCronBadge then immediately overwrites by setting
it to _cronNewJobIds.size. Specifically:
- inside the polling loop body (incrementing data.completions.length per
iteration — would have run length² times if not for the overwrite)
- inside _clearCronUnreadForJob (Math.max-decrement before
updateCronBadge re-derives from set size)
Both increments are dead code given the set is the documented source of
truth; remove them so the bookkeeping is consistent. Updated the
test_clear_cron_unread_for_job_function assertion to verify the correct
contract (delete from set + call updateCronBadge), not the old broken
implementation detail.
Full suite locally: 2586 passed, 1 unrelated pre-existing failure on macOS
(test_sprint3 system-paths quirk).

What I caught — two real defects
1. CI was failing on test_symlink_cycle_detection.py — 7/7 tests
PR description claimed "they pass in CI". They don't — all 7 fail on Python 3.11/3.12/3.13.
Root cause: tmp_path_factory.mktemp("ws") creates dirs under /var/folders (macOS) or /tmp (Linux), neither of which is under Path.home(). After this batch's tightening of resolve_trusted_workspace (PR #1165 reordering home-check before system-blocked-roots), session creation against these tmp paths returns HTTP 400:
{'error': 'Path is outside the user home directory, not in the saved
workspace list, and not under the default workspace: /private/var/folders/.../ws0.
Add it via Settings → Workspaces first.'}
So the test calls make_session(...) → post("/api/session/new", {workspace: tmp}) → 400 response → d["session"] → KeyError.
2. panels.js _cronUnreadCount increment is dead-code-with-side-effects
static/panels.js:2949 (pre-fix):
for(const c of data.completions){
showToast(...);
_cronPollSince=Math.max(_cronPollSince,c.completed_at);
if(c.job_id) _cronNewJobIds.add(String(c.job_id));
_cronUnreadCount+=data.completions.length; // ← inside the loop!
}The _cronUnreadCount increment is inside the loop body (note the indent — almost certainly merge-mangled), incrementing by data.completions.length per iteration (so 3 completions → +9). Then updateCronBadge immediately overwrites with _cronUnreadCount = _cronNewJobIds.size, masking the bug.
Same dead-code pattern in _clearCronUnreadForJob: _cronUnreadCount = Math.max(0, _cronUnreadCount-1) followed by updateCronBadge() which re-derives from set size. The set is the documented "source of truth" — both decrements/increments are redundant and one is logically wrong.

End-to-end trace
_isContextCompactionMessage agent revert (commit fb55f0b)
Tightening _isContextCompactionMessage to m.role==='assistant' (per Opus review) broke test_regressions.py which validated the looser m.role!=='tool' semantics. Agent reverted and added the auto-compression card route (setCompressionUi) instead — auto-compression no longer pushes a fake assistant message into S.messages. ✅ Verified at static/ui.js:2019-2023: if(!m||!m.role||m.role==='tool') return false; — the looser check is correct because legacy sessions can have role=assistant or role=user compaction messages, but never role=tool.
#1159 per-turn cost delta — capture order is correct
const _prevIn=(S.session&&S.session.input_tokens)||0;
const _prevOut=(S.session&&S.session.output_tokens)||0;
const _prevCost=(S.session&&S.session.estimated_cost)||0;
S.session=d.session;S.messages=d.session.messages||[];Snapshot taken before S.session=d.session overwrites with cumulative new totals. Delta computed correctly at line 779-790 (curIn-prevIn, etc.) and stored as lastAsst._turnUsage. ✅ The Opus blocker that the agent's pre-fix description called out is correctly resolved.
#1149 symlink security — system dirs blocked even via symlink
api/workspace.py:493-501 — safe_resolve_ws now follows the symlink and re-checks the resolved target against _workspace_blocked_roots():
for blocked in _workspace_blocked_roots():
try:
resolved.relative_to(blocked)
raise ValueError(f"Path traversal blocked (system dir): {requested}")
except ValueError as _e:
if "system dir" in str(_e):
raiselist_dir does the same for symlinks during enumeration (workspace.py:540-548). Critical: an LLM agent calling read_file_content via tool-call with a symlink to /etc/shadow is now blocked even though the symlink path itself is workspace-relative. ✅
#1165 alternative home roots — order swap
api/workspace.py:388-397 — home check moved before blocked-roots check, with sanity guards (skip if home is / or itself blocked):
_home_is_sane = (_home != Path("/") and
not any(_is_within(_home, b) for b in _workspace_blocked_roots()))
if _home_is_sane:
try:
candidate.relative_to(_home)
return candidate
except ValueError:
passThis means /var/home/user/... (Fedora atomic, bazzite, uBlue) is trusted because it's under HOME, before the /var system-root check rejects it. Fallback when HOME is unsafe still routes through blocked-roots. ✅
#1143 cron hiding — defense-in-depth, not single-layer
read_importable_agent_session_rows(..., exclude_sources=("cron",))default at agent_sessions.py:124all_sessions()filters_hide_from_default_sidebarat models.py:567, 594routes.py/api/sessionsextra filter at routes.py:872-875: even whenshow_cli_sessionsis on andget_cli_sessions(exclude_sources=None)returns crons, the route still drops them via_hide_from_default_sidebar
Three-layer filter. The middle layer (get_cli_sessions(exclude_sources=None)) lets cron sessions still load when looked up by ID at routes.py:814 (single-session metadata fetch) — so a user navigating to a cron session's URL can still view it; only the list view hides them. ✅
#1161 custom-provider detection + deepcopy
for _pid_key in _cfg_providers:
if _pid_key in _PROVIDER_MODELS or _pid_key in cfg.get("providers", {}):
detected_providers.add(_pid_key)The second condition (_pid_key in cfg.get("providers", {})) is always True because _pid_key was iterated from _cfg_providers = cfg.get("providers", {}). Functionally equivalent to "always add", which is the intent — detect any provider in cfg, built-in or custom. Slightly redundant but works.
api/config.py:1681: raw_models = copy.deepcopy(_PROVIDER_MODELS.get(pid, [])) — prevents downstream mutation from leaking back into the shared _PROVIDER_MODELS constant. Clean fix.
#1162 rename race
static/sessions.js:976-1015 — adds finishDone guard, oldTitle snapshot, error rollback, no-op skip when title unchanged, toast on rename failure. Robust against double-fire from blur+Enter race. ✅
Other audit — confirmed correct
- JS syntax:
node --checkpasses onpanels.js,ui.js,messages.js,sessions.js,i18n.js,commands.js. - i18n coverage: 5 locales (en, ru, es, zh, zh-Hant, ko) updated for new keys (
status_profile,status_started,status_tokens,status_no_tokens,status_unknown). - Korean locale: 11 missing keys backfilled per #1138.
- Path traversal:
safe_resolve_wscorrectly handles../viaos.path.normpath(which collapses..without following symlinks). The fast path usesresolved.relative_to(root.resolve())first. - Symlink cycle detection: cycle test (
link → ancestor) correctly identifies viatarget.resolve().relative_to(link_target)after the trivial-equality cases.

Tests
- PR's targeted tests: 7/7 symlink tests, 7/7 cron badge tests, 4/4 auto-compression card tests, 5/5 password-remote tests, all pass after fixes.
- Local full suite: 2586 passed, 47 skipped, 1 PR-unrelated pre-existing failure (
test_sprint3.py::test_workspace_add_rejects_system_paths— verified to fail on master too; macOS-only quirk where/etcis acceptable). - CI on PR (after my push): ✅ test (3.11), ✅ test (3.12), ✅ test (3.13).
Minor observations (non-blocking)
- The
_pid_key in cfg.get("providers", {})redundant condition in config.py:1455 could be simplified to a singleTrue(the loop already iterates only that dict). Cosmetic only. - The streaming title fallback uses a Python
setliteral{'conversation topic'}for the generic-fallback list — extending later requires editing the literal. Fine for now (only one entry), but if more "low-information" titles emerge, consider a module-level frozenset. - Per-turn cost: the
_turnUsagefield is attached to the last assistant message at done time. Ifdonefires twice (resume from inflight), the second emit would double-count if the agent re-sends cumulative totals; the guardif(curIn>prevIn||curOut>prevOut)covers replays where totals don't grow. - Symlink listing reads
link_target.is_dir()andlink_target.stat()which dereference the symlink — fine for trusted workspaces but a misbehaving symlink chain could cause stat errors; both paths havetry/except OSErrorguards already. ✅
Recommendation
Approved (after fix pushed). Twelve contributor PRs cleanly stitched. CI was failing on 7 symlink tests due to tmp-path workspace trust — fixed by registering the workspace first. Cron unread bookkeeping had two redundant counter mutations (one logically wrong, masked by the set-size sync) — cleaned up. The high-stakes security work (#1149 symlink + system-dir block, #1165 home-root reorder) traces through correctly with proper guards. Per-turn cost capture order (#1159) is correct after the agent's earlier fix. Cross-tool consistency with hermes-agent's session-source filtering convention is preserved. Parked at approval — ready for the release agent's merge/tag pipeline.

node --checkpasses onpanels.js,ui.js,messages.js,sessions.js,i18n.js,commands.js. - i18n coverage: 5 locales (en, ru, es, zh, zh-Hant, ko) updated for new keys (
status_profile,status_started,status_tokens,status_no_tokens,status_unknown). - Korean locale: 11 missing keys backfilled per #1138.
- Path traversal:
safe_resolve_wscorrectly handles../viaos.path.normpath(which collapses..without following symlinks). The fast path usesresolved.relative_to(root.resolve())first. - Symlink cycle detection: cycle test (
link → ancestor) correctly identifies viatarget.resolve().relative_to(link_target)after the trivial-equality cases.

| Per-turn cost zero-delta turn (cached) | skip | ✅ `if(curIn>prevIn |
| Auto-compression mid-stream | transient card, no fake msg | ✅ messages.js compressed handler |

Tests
- PR's targeted tests: 7/7 symlink tests, 7/7 cron badge tests, 4/4 auto-compression card tests, 5/5 password-remote tests, all pass after fixes.
- Local full suite: 2586 passed, 47 skipped, 1 PR-unrelated pre-existing failure (
test_sprint3.py::test_workspace_add_rejects_system_paths— verified to fail on master too; macOS-only quirk where/etcis acceptable). - CI on PR (after my push): ✅ test (3.11), ✅ test (3.12), ✅ test (3.13).
Minor observations (non-blocking)
- The
_pid_key in cfg.get("providers", {})redundant condition in config.py:1455 could be simplified to a singleTrue(the loop already iterates only that dict). Cosmetic only. - The streaming title fallback uses a Python
setliteral{'conversation topic'}for the generic-fallback list — extending later requires editing the literal. Fine for now (only one entry), but if more "low-information" titles emerge, consider a module-level frozenset. - Per-turn cost: the
_turnUsagefield is attached to the last assistant message at done time. Ifdonefires twice (resume from inflight), the second emit would double-count if the agent re-sends cumulative totals; the guardif(curIn>prevIn||curOut>prevOut)covers replays where totals don't grow. - Symlink listing reads
link_target.is_dir()andlink_target.stat()which dereference the symlink — fine for trusted workspaces but a misbehaving symlink chain could cause stat errors; both paths havetry/except OSErrorguards already. ✅
Recommendation
Approved (after fix pushed). Twelve contributor PRs cleanly stitched. CI was failing on 7 symlink tests due to tmp-path workspace trust — fixed by registering the workspace first. Cron unread bookkeeping had two redundant counter mutations (one logically wrong, masked by the set-size sync) — cleaned up. The high-stakes security work (#1149 symlink + system-dir block, #1165 home-root reorder) traces through correctly with proper guards. Per-turn cost capture order (#1159) is correct after the agent's earlier fix. Cross-tool consistency with hermes-agent's session-source filtering convention is preserved. Parked at approval — ready for the release agent's merge/tag pipeline.

#1159 (per-turn cost):
messages.js— captureprevIn/prevOut/prevCostbeforeS.session = d.sessionoverwrites the cumulative totals. As submitted, the delta was always zero (reading new totals as the "previous" baseline) and the existing cumulative display was also broken — net regression. Fixed by snapshotting the old values first.#1149 (symlink security):
