/model lists 600 models. You can't scan it. This makes it scannable.

Every figure correct. No two rows put the same fact in the same place.

After

Real renders, owner's live catalog, 108 cols. Opens alphabetical:

 › /model filter by name
  model ↓                                   in/M   out/M  window   elo  inputs
  deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1              $0.25   $0.95    163k  1135
  deepseek/deepseek-r1                      $0.7    $2.5     64k
  deepseek/deepseek-v3.2                   $0.27    $0.4    163k  1187
› deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash               $0.07   $0.14      1M  1220

alt+s sorts by the next column, alt+shift+s walks back. Every column is two
presses — its own direction, then reversed — so one key reaches every order:

  model                                     in/M  out/M ↓  window   elo  inputs
  ibm-granite/granite-4.0-h-micro         $0.017    $0.11    131k
  deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731          $0.06    $0.12      1M  1252
  openai/gpt-oss-20b                       $0.03    $0.13    131k   947

→ opens a model's providers — two levels, their own table, their own sort:

  deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash  coreweave   0.4s      1M   24
    auto                                           auto-route based on /settings — coreweave now
    openrouter
      provider    first ↓  t/s    $/M    up  note
›     coreweave      0.4s   24  $0.28   99%  tail 3s
      cloudflare     0.8s   58   $1.3  100%  no tools
      deepinfra      1.2s   27  $0.18   99%  out ≤ 65k
      default

Narrow frames fall back to the old tail — it's better per row, only worse down the
page.

What else moved

Columns, not verbs. sees / hears / watches / draws / films / speaks
were six invented words each carrying a side and a thing. Now the catalog's own
nouns under inputs / outputs. Blank = text in, text out.

Enter no longer closes the list. It applies and stays open, so you can compare
two models and change back. esc closes.

auto and openrouter sit together — they're the two things you're choosing
between, and under simple routing they send the same thing. Dropped the bullets
(they claimed a distinction the wire doesn't make) and the dim paragraph that
re-printed each row's own numbers in prose. enter on openrouter opens it and
lands on default, which reads as "these exist, and you've chosen not to pick".

The filter box searches names. Only names. It used to also take @cloudflare,
<1s, >50t/s, $<0.3, fp8, tools, fast, cheap — a query language you had
to read a manual page to know existed. Those were questions about facts, and the
facts are columns now, so you can just look. Type $<0.3 and you get an empty list,
not a silent reinterpretation.

→/← stop fighting the caret. They're the tree's keys unless you're mid-typing
(within 600ms of the last change to the box). Leaving an open fold used to cost one
press per character typed. Any edit takes the caret back, and ctrl+b/ctrl+f do it
without changing your query.

One order for the foot, at every level — grouped by what each key moves:

↑↓ pick · ← back · → providers · alt+s sort · enter <verb> · ctrl+t effort · esc

Four things were plain broken. → providers and ctrl+t did nothing on home's
model list while the UI advertised both. The provider heading was drawn but not
counted, so the fold could overflow. ← on default closed two levels at once.
And openrouter didn't name → providers when nothing was measured, though the key
worked.

Two bugs worth calling out

The sort read the wrong lane. via, first and t/s cells come from the lane a
row names; the sort asked bestLane instead. So rows with blank cells carried
real numbers into the sort and the blanks didn't group. One reading now serves both.

An alphabetical default buried the best match. gpt returned
anthropic/claude-gpt-echo above gpt-5-classic — the search itself going wrong.
The name column now orders by relevance first, alphabetically only inside a tier.

Both found by trying it against the real 521-row catalog rather than a fixture.

Proof

make pr-ready + make test-laws green. 51 new tests, 30 new manual probes.
Manual updated, including a page that says the filter grammar is gone and points at
the columns instead — the old keystrokes are in its heading so they still retrieve.

Also fixes two cmd/codeaf update tests that failed on every macOS laptop and
passed in CI (t.TempDir gives /var/..., which the update door resolves to
/private/var/... on purpose). Product untouched.

Still red on clean origin/dev, not mine: TestTheOpeningHintNamesBothDoors,
internal/release's ledger test (#1060).

A /model row drew its facts as one right-aligned `·` tail, so no two rows
put their price, window or score in the same column and six hundred names
could not be read down. The list is the one list on this surface that is
read DOWN: the question in front of somebody scrolling it is "which of
these is cheap", "which holds a million tokens", "which can see", and
every one of those is a comparison between rows.

So the facts get columns — via, first, in/M, out/M, window, t/s, elo, can
— under one dim heading line that carries the units the rows used to spell
on every one of them. The ranking is modelFields' own ranking laid out
down the page instead of along the row, it gives up its columns from the
same low-ranked end, and it falls back to the ranked tail wherever a frame
has no room for columns (and always at tierPhone).

Both shapes are one reading of the model now (modelFacts), so a figure
cannot mean dollars per million in the table and something else in the
tail.

… own heading

Two questions the table's first reader asked that the corpus could not
answer well.

The capability words: the page listed all six as though any of them could
turn up on a model row, and three of them never can — a model publishing
any non-text output modality is not a conversation model and is off the
/model list entirely, so draws, speaks and films belong to the media slots.
The page says which side each word reads, which three appear where, that
the cell reports published modalities only and never infers from the id,
and that the looking slot DOES fall back to a name — so a silent …-vl row
can be offered there while showing nothing under `can`.

The tilde: `why are some model names prefixed with a squiggle` and `why
does this model start with ~` both missed the page that answers them,
because the tilde shared a heading with `…-latest`. It has its own now,
and the unmeasured-model paragraph that was buried in the unpinning
section has one too. Six probes for the table's columns and two for the
tilde are on the gate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
The row's capability words were six invented verbs — sees, hears, watches,
draws, speaks, films — and two things were wrong with them. A verb had to
carry the SIDE as well as the thing (`sees` is "image, on the way in"), so
six words had to be learned before a row could be read, and the words were
the only place the side was written down. And they were lossy where the
catalog is not: `speaks` folded speech, audio and music into one word, so
a model that writes songs and one that reads a paragraph aloud drew the
same row.

A table has a head over every column and a head can say the side for the
whole list. So the one `can` column becomes two — `reads` and `makes` —
and the cells are the catalog's own nouns: image, audio, video, file,
speech, music. Nothing has to be learned and nothing folds.

The order is ours, because the catalog has none: it publishes the same set
as `text, image, file`, `file, image, text` and `image, text, file` on
neighbouring rows. A word this build has never seen is still drawn, after
the ones it knows.

`makes` is never drawn in /model — a model answering with anything but
text cannot hold a conversation and is not on that list — so it costs
nothing there and is the column the media slots exist for.

modelNameWide drops from 44 to 38, measured: of 355 chat models in a live
catalog 343 have ids of 36 cells or fewer, and sizing the name column for
the twelve outliers cost every row the whole `reads` column.

sees and draws survive only in the filter box, and the comment says why:
`image` is a word dozens of model ids carry, so it cannot be a filter term
without breaking the search for qwen/qwen-image-3.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
Asked why `makes` never appears, and the measurement answered more than
the question did. Across every list this surface has, `makes` has exactly
ONE distinct value: empty on /model, because a model you can converse with
answers in text and nothing else; `image` on all 54 rows of the drawing
slot; `speech` on all 18 of speaking; `video` on all 29 of filming. Four
lists, four constants, and a head over each that a person reads before
finding out it says nothing — the list's own definition written once per
row.

So a modality column is dropped when every row agrees on it, not only when
nobody published it. Law 4 was the case where the one thing every row says
is nothing.

It is asked of `reads` and `makes` alone, and the restriction is what
makes it safe: constancy means "this is the filter" only where a filter
could have caused it. Two models that cost the same are a coincidence, and
a price column that vanished because a short list agreed with itself would
hide a figure somebody came to read. The emptiness law is about facts
nobody published; it may not grow into hiding facts that were.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
Three changes the owner asked for, and one they did not have to.

The heads are `inputs` and `outputs` rather than `reads` and `makes` —
`reads image` was always slightly wrong, since you look at a picture
rather than read one, and the pair reads as a pair.

`text` is named. Leaving it out was the emptiness law applied one step too
far: the cell it produced was BLANK under a head saying `inputs`, which
does not read as "text, like everything else here", it reads as "nothing".
A row that published no modalities says `text` too, which is the one
silence law drawn where somebody can see it.

The cells are joined by a space rather than `, `. Three cells on the
widest row, and the widest row is what a column is sized by — with commas
and `text` the column needed 101 cells of measure and would never have
been drawn at all.

And the one that fell out: the TAIL still leaves `text` out. Same reading,
asked with withText false. A cell has to be true of every row under its
head; a tail carries what tells rows apart, and `inputs text · outputs
text` is the same nine words on five hundred rows, spending room the
window and the price are queueing for.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
…wn keys

Three things the owner asked for.

`text` is out of the modality cells again — tried in for one wave on the
argument that a blank cell under `inputs` reads as "nothing", taken back
out because what a cell is for is what the model does BEYOND holding a
conversation, and every model on the list reads and writes text. Two blank
cells mean text in, text out. The heads stay `inputs` and `outputs`.

And the keys the box promised: `→ providers` and `ctrl+t` did nothing
whatever on home's model list. The door never armed the fold, so there was
nothing to open, and it answered neither key — while the placeholder under
the list named both. Home arms the fold now, enter on a provider pins it,
and ctrl+t walks the rung. The rung is held on the DRAFT and spent when the
next conversation attaches, because nothing behind home may be touched and
an agent this window happens to be holding is a conversation nobody is
looking at.

The keys also moved off the placeholder and onto the foot. A placeholder is
the one line on screen that disappears the moment somebody uses it — so
`→ providers` was gone by the first typed character, which is exactly when
a person has found their model and wants its machines. The foot stays, and
it can say what each key does WHERE it does it.

It read `baseten: first token 0.4s, steady 64 t/s, no tail — from the
sheet` under a row that already read `baseten   0.4s · 64 t/s · $1.2/M ·
out ≤ 32k · 69%`. The same three numbers in prose, under a name the row had
just said, one line further from the eye — and it cost the fold a row every
time the cursor moved, on the one list where a row is a machine being
compared against fifteen others.

The only thing it added at the end was where the figures came from, which
is one fact about the whole list rather than about the row the cursor
happens to be on; the page that explains the ledger says it once instead.

laneWhy goes with it. lineUnder keeps its other case — the line that stands
where the providers would be when nothing behind a model has been measured.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
… are

Asked what the difference between the two rows is, and the honest answer
was "under the row you ship with, none that a request can see" — both send
no provider choice. They differ in two ways nothing on screen said: auto
starts choosing the moment routing is latency or price, and openrouter also
stops codeaf buying a speed probe.

So the rows say what they ARE now. `auto` is `codeaf tries to pick the best
provider`, and under `simple` it carries `— not while routing is simple`,
because a sentence true only on a setting most people have not got is a
sentence that lies on the default install. `openrouter` is `default
routing`.

They stand beside each other above the machines instead of at either end of
them. They are the two rows a person is choosing between, and telling them
apart means reading them side by side rather than a screen apart.

And the bullets go. `filled chooses for you, hollow declines to` is not
true under `simple`, where neither chooses — a mark that is wrong on the
default install is worse than no mark, and the indent already says these
two are not machines.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
`→` on a model now opens two answers and nothing else: `auto`, which reads
`automatic routing according to /settings (recommended)`, and
`openrouter`, which reads `default routing`. `→` on `openrouter` opens the
machines it routes to and walks the cursor in; `←` closes one level at a
time. The machines live there because every one of them is a machine that
row routes to — naming one is a narrower answer inside it rather than a
third thing beside it.

The machines are drawn as a table with their own heading, by the same
engine as the model list: modelTable is colTable now, built over a column
set, and laneColumns is the second set. A `·` tail put each provider's
price wherever that provider's note happened to end.

And they are drawn alphabetically. The ledger's own order — fastest first —
is still what auto, bestLane and the model row's `via` read; the picker
sorts its own copy after taking the prediction, because an order that moves
whenever a belief updates is an order the eye has to start over on.

The `auto` sentence stopped naming `simple`. It is a value of a `routing`
setting that nothing on that screen mentions, and the owner — who owns the
program — read the row and asked what it meant.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
The `openrouter` row said `default routing`, which described one of the
things inside it rather than the row itself — so the sentence is gone and
the answer is where it belongs: `default`, the last row after the machines,
with empty cells. It is the same kind of choice as the machines above it —
"serve this from here" — and somebody reading down that list should not
have to leave it to pick the one that declines to pick. The cells are empty
and honestly so: nothing has been measured about whichever machine the
router feels like, because it is not one machine.

`enter` on the container still writes the same thing, one press earlier.

And the line about a model nobody has measured moved into that fold, where
the machines would be — which is where a person went looking for them. The
fold opens with nothing measured now; `→` on it used to do nothing at all,
and `default` is always in there to be chosen.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
It closed on the press, which made every choice final and every comparison
a round trip: pick a model, watch the list vanish, type /model again to see
what the other one cost. The list is a table now — a thing built to be read
down and compared — and a table that shuts the moment you touch a row is a
table you can use once.

So enter applies and leaves it up, and esc is the way out. Applying is safe
to repeat: switching twice lands on the second, pinning twice writes the
second row. All four doors moved together, because there is one list.

The marks follow the choice (picker.restate). They stay snapshots against
everything running underneath — that is what the freeze is for — but the
person pressing enter is not running underneath, and a list still marking
the model they had just left would be the one row on it that was false.

The manual claimed esc gives the model in use back as it was. It does not
any more: enter already changed it, and esc only closes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
The `auto` row is `auto-route based on /settings`.

And a table's column heads are painted apart from their cells. Both were
dim, so `provider  first  t/s  $/M` beside `cloudflare  0.8s  58  $1.3` was
the same text twice — nothing on screen said the first line was the labels
rather than a provider whose numbers had gone missing. They are muted now,
and italic besides: the hue does the work on a colour terminal and the
italic does it on one whose two dim tiers land close together.

Muted and not ink, because a heading is read once and the figures under it
are read every time; a head louder than its own column is a label shouting
over the thing it labels.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
The picker's box carried a small query language beside the name search —
`@cloudflare`, `<1s`, `>50t/s`, `$<0.3`, `fp8`, `tools`, `sees`, `draws`,
and `fast`/`cheap` to reorder — and every one of those terms was asking
about a FACT. The facts are columns now, so the question they answered is
one a person can see the answer to, and a syntax nobody can discover is a
feature only its author can use.

So they are gone, not reinterpreted: `$<0.3` is looked for as a name,
matches nothing, and the list comes back empty rather than quietly
answering the old question. `sees` still finds deepseek-v4-flash, because
those letters run through that id in order — and no longer because the
model can see.

`/model <one-word>` is always a slug now; the two-words-open-the-picker
rule and `/model @name` are untouched. Typing inside an open provider
fold still narrows that model's providers by name (#1022), which is a
name search too.

`app.setLevel` picks up the one door call that removing the grammar
exposed: ctrl+t in the picker and home spending its draft's rungs were
`SetReasoningFor` plus `keepLevel` written out twice, and the off-loop
ratchet counts call sites.

Two things the rebase onto dev made visible.

The change entry was numbered 1106, which is somebody else's merged pull
request — the wordmark (#1106) — so the one file whose whole job is to
tell the next reader what moved was pointing at the wrong change. CI only
checks that an entry was added, so nothing would have caught it.

And `cmd/codeaf/models.go`'s comment still described the modality tail as
`reads image, video · makes image`: the heads became `inputs`/`outputs`
and the separator became a space two waves ago. The comment exists to say
this line and the picker row have ONE spelling, so a stale example there
is the drift it was written to prevent.

TestC9SourceBuildRefusesBeforeTheNetwork and
TestC9AnInstallEndsWithTheNewBinarysVersionLine failed on every macOS
laptop and passed in CI: `t.TempDir` answers under /var/folders/…, /var is
a symlink to /private/var, and on Linux the two spellings are one.

The product is right and is not touched. ExecutableTarget runs the path
from os.Executable through filepath.EvalSymlinks on purpose — an installer
has to replace the real file, and writing through a symlink replaces the
link or lands somewhere nobody asked for. A test that hands that door an
unresolved path and then demands its own spelling back is asserting the
opposite of the law it is testing.

So the path is canonical at its source: `updateTarget(t)` resolves the
directory (the file does not exist yet, and EvalSymlinks needs what it is
given to exist) and joins the name. All nine sites in the file use it, so
the seven that do not compare paths today cannot start failing when they
do.

… openrouter

TWO GESTURES SHARE ONE PAIR OF KEYS and position alone was the wrong way to
break the tie. `→` and `←` were the tree's only at the very end and start of
what was typed, so leaving an open fold cost one press per character in the
box: with `deep` typed, `←` stepped through p, e, e, d while the fold stayed
open.

Time breaks it now as well. Somebody still editing is still pressing keys, so
600ms of quiet (pickerQuiet) hands the arrows back to the tree — chosen against
typing cadence, which puts 100-200ms between keys, so it cannot land inside a
word. The position rule is kept on top of it, which is what makes an empty box
behave exactly as it always did.

Coming back is any edit at all, and `ctrl+b`/`ctrl+f` are never the tree's, so
they take the caret back without changing a letter of the query — the mode
cannot trap anybody. The walk deliberately does not count: reading a filtered
list must not quietly take the arrows away from the tree. And the decision is
made by asking whether the text or the caret MOVED, not by keeping a second
list of editing keys beside listNavigate's own switch.

The foot now names whichever of the two keys actually works, because a foot
saying `←` while `←` stepped through a word is what made the fold feel broken.

Separately: enter on the bare `openrouter` row opens its list as well as
choosing. It writes what it always wrote — the same answer `default` inside it
writes, one press earlier — but shut, that read as "you have chosen
openrouter", which sounds like a destination and hides that there was a list
underneath. Open, the cursor lands on `default` wearing the mark and it reads
as the true sentence. It needed no new state: marked already gave the container
the mark only while shut, and cursorToMachine already walks onto the marked row.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
A paste reaches the filter box without going through picker.navigate, so the
quiet window never saw it: text arrived and the box still read as untouched,
which made a paste the one way to put characters in there that did not count
as typing them. `←` straight after would have gone to the tree.

picker.pasteFilter is the one door clipboard text now takes into either
picker's box — chat's and the settings panel's — and it stamps. It also owns
the insert-then-rank pair those two sites were each writing out, which is a
pair that only has to be forgotten once to leave a filtered list showing rows
the query excludes.

Opening the list with a query already in it deliberately does NOT stamp.
`/model deep flash`, and home's and a room's same command, finished the query
before the list existed — the hands were never at this box — so the arrows are
the tree's on the first frame, which is the whole reason that door exists.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
foldHere asked whether the cursor was on a row inside the open machines with
`row.lane >= 0` — which is every real machine. `default`'s lane number is
negative, like the two container rows' are, so it was missed when `default`
stopped being a note beside `openrouter` and became a row under it: `←` there
shut the model's whole fold instead of just the machines, and the way in and
the way out were different lengths.

Found by checking the press that follows the gesture in the commit before this
one. `enter` on `openrouter` now lands the cursor on exactly that row, so `←`
is what a person does next — the skip was reachable by the most likely route to
it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
A table makes a screenful comparable by eye. Over six hundred rows the eye is
not enough and ordering by the column is the only thing that is — so `alt+s`
walks the columns and `alt+shift+s` turns one round, which is the tasks place's
own pair of chords, read in picker.foldKey so all four doors get them. A chord
rather than a bare `s` for that page's reason: `s` is one of the commonest
letters a filter starts with.

This is also where the filter box's `fast` and `cheap` went. The objection to
them was never sorting — it was that a word typed into a name box is an
undiscoverable way to ask for it, and that two words were two opinions about
six columns.

Four laws, three of them found by trying it against the real catalog:

`list` is IN the cycle, because it is the name search's own best-match order. A
sort you cannot undo would throw that away for the life of the list.

A column this list published nothing in is SKIPPED. With nothing measured there
is no `first` and no `t/s`, and the second press of the key moved no row and
painted no arrow — indistinguishable from a broken key.

Rows that published nothing sort LAST both ways round. A model with no price is
not the cheapest, and turning the column round must not make it the dearest: it
is out of the comparison. The `cheap` word this replaces got that right in one
direction only, by calling an unknown price infinity.

The cursor lands on the TOP, not back on the model in use. Reversing a column
looked like it had done nothing, because rank() was pulling the cursor to the
current model and the window stayed around it — showing somebody who asked for
the cheapest model their own row's neighbourhood.

And the arrow is MEASURED, not appended: colTable.fit takes it, so the column is
two cells wider rather than the block being pushed past the measure and dragging
every right-aligned row under it. picker.measure splits out of tableFit for the
same reason those were never one question — the measurement is over the rows and
the fit is over a width, and the cycle needs the first without the second.

EVERY COLUMN IS TWO RUNGS — its own direction, then reversed — so alt+s alone
reaches every order a table has. alt+shift+s retraces the cycle instead of
meaning "reverse", which is what it meant while a column was one rung. Walking
back off the first column wraps to the last, which is where walking forward
came from; it was jumping to the last SORTABLE column from anywhere, so the two
directions were not each other's opposite.

EVERY TABLE IS ALWAYS SORTED and always shows its arrow. tableSort's zero value
is each table's first column — the name — ascending, so there is no unsorted
state to explain.

THE PROVIDERS SORT TOO, with their own tableSort and their own arrow, and the
key orders whichever table the cursor is in — the rule the fold's other keys
already follow. The two orders are independent. note and last 8 do not sort: a
note is whichever ONE thing is worth saying about a lane, so ordering by its
text would rank "bad replies" against "tail 3s" alphabetically, and a sparkline
has no single value.

`up` STANDS BEFORE `note`, in laneColumns and laneCells together. Uptime is a
figure and reads down its last digit with the figures before it; prose in the
middle of a run of numbers breaks the run. It is the drop order too, so a narrow
fold keeps the comparable figure over one row's own caveat.

And the fifth: AN ALPHABETICAL DEFAULT BURIED THE BEST MATCH. `gpt` answered
anthropic/claude-gpt-echo before gpt-5-classic, which is the search itself going
wrong rather than a matter of taste. The name column reads queryScore first
while the box has text and is alphabetical inside a tier; with an empty box
every score is equal, so the arrow still means the whole column.

Ten existing tests encoded the catalog's order while testing something else.
Most now look their row up by name rather than by index. One was a real
conflation: chatOnly stood for both "which models pass the chat question" and
"what order a picker shows them", which made a sort look like a filter
regression, and is two slices now.

THE FOOT READS THE SAME WAY AT EVERY LEVEL:

  ↑↓ pick · ← back · → providers · alt+s sort · enter <verb> · ctrl+t effort · esc

grouped by what each key MOVES. The first two move the cursor — walking out of
a fold is a cursor move, so `← back` belongs beside the walk rather than
stranded on the far side of the only key that commits anything, which is where
it was. The next two change the list. Then enter, where the eye stops. Then
ctrl+t, the one key here that touches neither the cursor nor the list: it dials
a setting on the row and leaves everything as it was.

Home says `enter choose` now. Every other row of the same fold already said
choose, so `use it` was a second word for one gesture on one rung of it.

Two things the ordering pass exposed. The `openrouter` row did not name
`→ providers` when nothing was measured, though the key worked — the hint still
asked for a believed machine, which stopped being true the moment `default`
became a row inside that fold. And a machine's row did not name the sort, though
alt+s orders the providers from in there.

Pinning a model at home no longer writes a line under the box. It read
`model · <name> · for the next conversation you start here`, and the rule above
the box already carries the pinned model — for as long as the pin lasts, rather
than until the next note replaces it.

And the `/model` a person typed stays in the box as the chip it was, with the
filter after it: `› /model filter by name`. The list is a different editor from
the one the command was typed into, so those words vanished from the one line
they were looking at and left a `›` and a grey phrase that could have belonged
to any list on this surface. draftBlockFull is the one function all four box
shapes go through now, and the tack's width is paid by head — so the wrap room,
the caret column and every continuation row's indent follow from it without
anything downstream knowing a tack exists. It still fits whole at sixty cells.

…y tie

Two reasons the sparse columns did not behave.

THE SORT ASKED THE WRONG LANE. pickerRankOf read bestLane — the
quickest-feeling lane the ledger holds — while the `via`, `first` and `t/s`
CELLS come from the lane the row NAMES: the pin, or the chooser's answer, or
nothing at all under a routing row where codeaf does not choose. So a row whose
cells were blank still carried real numbers into the sort, and the blanks did
not land together. modelLaneReading is that one reading now, asked by
modelFactsOf for the cells and by pickerRankOf for the order, with the pin read
for the row in use alone exactly as the cells read it.

AND THE TIES WERE LEFT TO CHANCE. A sparse column leaves a whole block of rows
it cannot tell apart, and a stable sort leaves that block in whatever order the
rung before it produced — so the same press drew a different screen depending on
how it was reached, which reads as the sort being arbitrary at exactly the place
a person is least sure of it. The name breaks every tie now, so the blanks come
back alphabetically and a second press draws the same screen.

tableColumn.words marks the columns holding names rather than figures. `via` is
the only one, and it needed saying on the COLUMN: a pair that both published
nothing fell past the name test and was compared as zeroes, which is one rule
for the column and a different one for some of its pairs.

…1195)

modelConnectionStatus renamed every custom-id row to the connection's Written word, and the catalog template's Written is the bare id, so a person who had connected nothing yet saw `custom` where the manual, the README and #1107 say `Custom OpenAI-compatible API`. Only a connected instance is called what the person called it now; the contract test draws both rows and is red without the fix. Found verifying the staging build of #1194.

dev landed the crew family, the Model Pool and custom model connections, so
`/model` now draws a dim heading per service over the rows it holds. The one
conflict was the hint grammar's table — both sides had rewritten the picker's
foot — and the merge surfaced one real defect: the sort ignored the service
groups, which moved a lonely connection above `openrouter` on a column it had
published nothing in, and would have drawn one heading twice.

The service order is the outer key of every sort now, so a column orders the
rows inside a service and never the services; and `pickerRankOf` reads a price
as both halves or neither, the way the cell does, so half a price sorts with the
blanks rather than among the cheap rows with an empty cell.

…ares

dev's #1321 moved every quick-search list onto internal/fuzzy — an fzf-style
alignment, higher score better — and reworked the picker's ranking around the
lane grammar this branch deletes. Both halves land: the matcher is dev's, the
decision about what the box means is this branch's.

So the picker's own three-rung ladder is gone (queryScore, tokenScore,
subsequenceAt and the rung constants) rather than merged back — the bonus model
puts a prefix above a substring above scattered letters without tiers to hold it
there — while splitQuery, keepsLanes, orderByLanes, bestOf, lanePrice and
laneTermWord go with the grammar they served. The words are folded before they
become terms, because every model id is lowercase and the matcher's smart case
would pin `GPT` to bytes no id carries. picker.sortHits reads the score the new
way round, biggest first.

The emphasis dev added rides along: rowHit draws the matched letters in bold,
and the sort key still orders whatever the search kept.

Drove this in a real terminal against a throwaway home with a live catalog, at 140 and 80 columns, and everything the description claims holds up: the headed table, alt+s / alt+shift+s cycling through every column both ways, the provider fold two levels deep with ← on default closing one level, enter applying and staying open, esc closing from any depth, $<0.3 giving an empty list, gpt leading the search, and the narrow fallback. A missing ELO draws blank. Laws, the untagged e2e needle test, manual, cmd/codeaf and all 49 new picker tests are green here. The filter-grammar regression test is a nice touch.

Three things I would like fixed before it merges, all small:

  1. The task composer's model list draws a sort arrow it cannot move. composerPickKey hands every key straight to navigate (internal/tui3/composerlayer.go:558) and never goes through foldKey, where alt+s lives. The other three doors do. So the composer draws the headed table with ↓ on model and the chord is swallowed. Your own comment in palette.go says an order changeable from one door and not the others "would be four lists again"; this is that.
  2. internal/manual/chat/commands.md:978 says a plain text chat model shows text under both columns. The renderer skips text (internal/tui3/models.go:1000), and live rows like deepseek/deepseek-r1 draw an empty inputs cell. models-and-cost.md gets it right; the change entry repeats the wrong claim. This is the page the in-product model answers "what do these columns mean" from, so it will tell people to expect a value in a cell that is always blank.
  3. internal/manual/chat/models-and-cost.md:136 still says esc "leaves the picker and changes nothing" and that "the model in use" comes back as it was. That was true before this PR. Now enter commits at once and esc only closes, which the same page says correctly further down. Sections are retrieved alone, so the stale one will be served by itself. The comment at the top of palette.go (line 7) has the same stale claim.

Not blocking: the settings sheet's foot never names alt+s sort though the key works there; the sort-cycle code block at models-and-cost.md:3178 skips out/M (the prose under it has it); docs/MULTIMODAL.md still promises sees · draws tails.

Also: dev moved under you this morning (#1108 landed), and this branch now conflicts in internal/tui3/palette.go, lanes_test.go, palette_test.go, internal/manual/chat/commands.md and models-and-cost.md. Needs a rebase before anything else.

…ying

Review on #1107 found three:

The task composer's `alt+o` list drew the headed table with an arrow on `model`
and swallowed the chord that moves it — composerPickKey handed every key to the
walk and never read the list's own key map. The other three doors read it. The
settings panel's slot row answered the chord all along and its legend never
said so, and the composer's foot did not either; both spell it from sortKeyWord
now, so one chord has one name.

commands.md said a plain text chat model "says `text` under both" columns. The
renderer skips text on both sides, so that cell is always empty — and this is
the page the in-product model answers "what do these columns mean" from.

models-and-cost.md and palette.go's own header still said esc gives the model in
use back. Enter commits when it is pressed; esc only closes. A section is
retrieved alone, so the stale one was served by itself.

Not blocking but in the same pass: the cycle block had lost the `out/M` rung its
own prose names, and docs/MULTIMODAL.md still promised the `sees · draws` tail.

dev carries #1332, #1108, #1333, #1107, #1208, #1071, #1376, #1377, #1381,
#1385, #1386, #1387 and #1384. #1108 is the santos/dev slice held at
759d704, which dev2 already descends from, so the tree was merged against
759d704 as its base: the slice counts as already here, and only what dev
did beyond it is brought in (the nested-module walk, the image guard's
duplicate, and everything from #1333 on). The commit still records origin/dev
as its second parent, so a dev2 to dev pull request sees dev as merged.

Four files conflicted:
- tools_image.go: both sides restored the empty-prompt guard; dev2's
  comment kept, and dev's second copy of the guard's test dropped because
  #1372's test pins the same refusal.
- surfacedoors_law_test.go: dev2 added one ledger door and #1071 crossed
  workingNowAgent; the ratchet counts the merged ledger, 22.
- tui_e2e_test.go, tuiwords_test.go: the home that #1071 draws is the one
  in the tree (dev2 never redrew home after the slice), so the suite waits
  for #1071's words.

* tui3, config: the gate row lands on the conversation you are in, and /status names the gate (#1063)

The three Safety rows — `ask before running`, the tool exceptions and the shell
command rules — wrote the profile and left the running gate alone, while the
YOLO badge read that profile live. So the badge and the gate disagreed in both
directions: `allow` lit the badge over a gate that kept asking, and `prompt` put
it out over a gate that was still wide open, which is the false-safety claim
#322 and #325 exist to prevent.

`applySetting` now pushes those three rows through `ApplyApprovals` — the seam
/permissions already drops a banked rule through — and refreshes the badge on
the same keystroke, on the branch where the push landed. A rebuild that could
not be done is said out loud on the panel's foot line in /permissions' own
words, `saved · from the next session`, and the badge stays with the gate in
force rather than following the file.

And /status carries the posture it never carried: `approvals prompt`, `allow` or
`deny`, in the `ask before running` row's own words, in the note, in --json and
on the phone's status sheet, from the one posture reading the badge uses. The
status row keeps its negative-space badge and the segment is no longer written
into the page twice.

The note's label column is measured from the widest label it carries, so three
crew assertions that spelled `"\ncrew"` plus exactly five spaces were
assertions about every other row on the page. They read the crew line by its
label now.

* session, prompt: a wrong completion check is answered with [no change], and the answer stands (#1065 round 1)

The end-of-turn reader saw 600 bytes of the last message, so a long table read
as cut off; the carry-on told the model to explain itself, and the explanation
became the only answer left in view under the fold.

The reader now sees up to 8 KB of the last words, and a cut it still has to
make ends with `[clipped by codeaf: N of M bytes]`, which its ask says is never
evidence of a cut-off answer. The carry-on lead says who wrote the note and
offers one exact reply, `[no change]`: it ends carrying on for the ask without
another reading, the transcript keeps it for the model, and neither replay nor
the live feed draws it — so the settled answer before it is what the fold finds.

system.md trades `# Tone` and `# Delivery` for `# The answer`, `# Words or
work`, `# When corrected` and `# Messages from codeaf`, and the two lines that
pushed action on questions are qualified. The lean page keeps all four; the
prefix waivers rise by the 1,705 bytes that cost, dated and named.

* session: a quiet landing is asked about the notes it was handed, not the page that names them

The worker's system page now names [silent] and [stuck] under
`# Messages from codeaf`, so a search of the whole request found the tag on
the page. childWasHanded reads the conversation and leaves the page out.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>

* session, prompt: [no change] answers the note it follows, and a long ask leaves the last words cut by name (#1065 round 1)

Self-review of #1067 found the token honoured on the wrong replies. The gate
read the turn's carry-on count, so a model that made calls in answer to the
note and then said [no change] ended the turn unread on an answer those calls
may have made stale, and a token after a load or ask nudge counted too. It now
reads the transcript: the token must be the very next reply to the reader's
own lead (answeredNoteUnchanged), and the dead declined flag is gone.

An ask up to the whole digest rides in its head, so eight kilobytes of last
words behind a long ask reached the backstop clip and ended in a bare `…`.
checkpointClipSaid takes the room that is left. A turn that ends on the token
no longer starts the route judge or hands the token to the memory reflex, and
a later reading's last words skip it.

`# Messages from codeaf` named `[still asked]`, which only the reader ever
receives, and left out `[stuck]` and `[held]`, which the conversation does; it
now names the tags that arrive and says any other opening, such as
`[image #1]`, is the person's. The waivers sit on the measured 1,779 bytes, and
the manual and the change entry say what the gate actually honours.

* prompt: the new sections keep the rules the old two carried, and say what stays in view (#1065 round 1)

Owner review of #1067. Replacing `# Tone` and `# Delivery` had dropped five
rules; each is back inside the new sections: match the person's task and
vocabulary, choose the safe option under uncertainty, evidence and blocking
details complete, never a compiling scaffold or a narrowed test, never
half-solved work.

`# The answer` said only the last message reaches the person, which `# Planning`
contradicts: the plan and the per-batch sentence are shown while a turn runs. It
now says that once a turn ends only its last message stays in view.

`# Words or work` sat beside `## Work or words`, which spends the same two words
on hand-off sizing; it is `# Answer or change`, and it says an answer asked for
in chat is written in the reply, not a file, unless the person asks for one.

The waivers sit on the new measurement, 2,035 bytes over dev on both arms.

* prompt: the messages-from-codeaf list names every note codeaf writes

The system prompt now distinguishes conversation user-role notes from private reader and tool-result markers. A structural test follows the production constants, and the byte waivers record the exact fixed and lean measurements.

* session: no change skips judgment only when it answers the reader

The completion loop now uses the transcript context before suppressing the route judge or substituting the prior answer for memory. Tests cover the withdrawn and ordinary-token memory paths, and the manual separates counting from display.

* test: the model stub replays the no-change fold

The OpenAI-compatible stub can now drive the real binary through eleven read rounds, a long table, a rejecting reader, and the exact token reply. The recipe records the tmux setup and the expected log and screen evidence.

* prompt: the standing-news tag stays with the event, not on the page

The messages-from-codeaf list had named [something you set up fired], and
TestTheSteeringLineReadsAsNewsAndNotAsARequest refused it: that line says
under the news itself what it is and what not to do about it, so the page's
copy is one law bought on every request of every turn for a turn most
sessions never have. The list keeps the compaction tags, the structural test
now files the standing frame with the private voices the page must not name,
and the waivers fall to the new measurement (fixed 55,280, lean 47,055).

* chore: clean internal experiment records and revive test/ux for codeaf

Public-repository cleanup ahead of opening the docs to outside readers.

- Remove four internal DOE/experiment record directories that reference
  private issue and pull-request numbers and are not current-product
  documentation: docs/design/pin-doe, plan-gate-doe, turn-wall-share-doe,
  and workspace-foundation.
- Neutralize internal machine references in benchmark and design docs:
  the bench host ("spark"), its secrets.env path, and a personal working
  branch name, all now generic placeholders.
- Revive test/ux/, the user-facing journey suite, for the renamed product:
  collapse the removed v1/v2 dual-surface logic into the single v3 surface,
  repoint the binary to cmd/codeaf and state to ~/.codeaf/CODEAF_*, and
  delete gate.sh whose premise was the v1-vs-v2 parity table.

* chore: drop internal conversation-runtime wave records, keep the measurement contract

The conversation-runtime directory was a local development wave: day-by-day
status, /private/tmp paths, "owner authorized" process notes, draft PR numbers,
and local change logs. None of it is current-product documentation a public
reader needs. Keep PARETO.md, which is the benchmark's cited measurement
contract, trimmed of its dangling calibration link and owner language.

Co-Authored-By: codeaf <[email protected]>

* chore: neutralize the remaining bench-host and work-machine references

A wider sweep found the internal bench host ("Spark"), its secrets path
(fleet/secrets.env), and a scratch ops directory still named in live docs,
bench READMEs and bench scripts that the earlier redaction had not touched.
Rename the host to "benchhost"/"the bench host", drop the secrets path, and
replace "the laptop" as the owner's own machine with a neutral "work machine"
where it meant the internal one. The manual's first-person "the laptop you are
sitting at" is public-facing and left alone.

Co-Authored-By: codeaf <[email protected]>

* chore: fix review findings in the public-cleanup diff

- PERF.md: drop a private tracker issue reference (#846).
- PARETO.md: restore a complete sentence dropped when the calibration link was
  removed, and align tense with the remaining present-tense claim.
- home-mission-control/DESIGN.md: drop the internal "fleet" system name and
  an owner-framing phrase, consistent with the secrets-path scrub elsewhere.

plan-gate-doe/REPORT.md is the measured evidence behind the plan-gate default
that twelve comments in cmd/codeaf, internal/config, internal/session and
internal/splitgate point at, and turn-wall-share-doe is the run
internal/session/turnwall.go says it was added from. CLAUDE.md keeps the
record on purpose for exactly this reason, and neither folder names a machine,
a secret or a private address.

* test/ux: the revived journey suite goes back out

#991 removed it because it drove the v1 and v2 surfaces, and the revival did
not change that: its journal verb reads graph.db tables (messages, nodes,
usage, commands) that the v3 chat never writes, lib.sh still waits for the
resident, nothing runs it from the Makefile or a workflow, and its only
evidence was bash -n. docs/JOURNEY.md says internal/e2e is the one suite that
drives the binary, and that stays true. A suite that has been run green
against bin/codeaf can come back on its own pull request with a target that
runs it.

* docs/changes: the #1068 entry says why the journey suite is out, correctly

The first draft said the v3 chat never writes the graph.db tables the suite
reads. Running the suite showed both message rows landing, so that sentence
was wrong; what is true is that nothing runs the suite, it had never been run,
and its first journey fails on its first screen check (#1072).

* telemetry: anonymous usage counts, off with CODEAF_TELEMETRY=off (#1095)

* telemetry: the package behind anonymous usage counting, per the wire contract

Four typed events (first_run, session_started, session_ended, fault) with the
contract's allowlisted, bucketed props; the opt-out ladder with its off
reasons; a hashed install identity at 0700/0600; a fault fingerprint over
codeaf function names only; a JSON-lines spool with a deadline-bounded flush
of up to 50 events per POST, 7-day age drops and a 1000-line cap; the notice
constant with NoticeShown/MarkNoticeShown gating the flush; and Show() for a
future codeaf telemetry show.

A library only: nothing in cmd/codeaf, internal/session or internal/config
reads it yet.

* telemetry: tests, doc, and contract fixes for the usage-count package

Adds the package's tests — bucketing edges, the opt-out ladder, install
identity, the notice, fingerprinting, the spool against an httptest relay
(cap, age drop, 50-per-POST splitting, a hard deadline against a hanging
server, silence on failure) and the privacy law that no sentinel string
reaches the wire. docs/TELEMETRY.md documents the notice, what is sent and
how to turn it off, with a test that fails if the doc's property table
drifts from the Go allowlist.

Fixes four drifts from the wire contract found running those tests: the
<1m duration bucket was missing, the fingerprint's argument stripping cut
too much, the rc channel suffix must be a single integer, and under go

* installer: record the install locally and print the telemetry notice

Following the telemetry wire contract: a successful install now writes
telemetry/install.json under the state root (dir 0700, file 0600) with
the install method, channel and UTC timestamp, leaves any existing
install_id alone, and makes no request the download steps did not
already make. At the very end the installer prints the contract's
notice to stderr after one blank line, or one line saying telemetry is
off when CODEAF_TELEMETRY/DO_NOT_TRACK opts out. README gains a plain
Telemetry section pointing at docs/TELEMETRY.md, and a new
test/installer-telemetry.sh proves the marker, the notice and the
opt-out without a network.

* installer: four review corrections to the telemetry commit

The review of 71ff95a6b found four things. Revert the one line that
changed `if [[ -z "${TAG:-}" ]]; then` back to `${TAG:-}`: under
set -u an unset TAG must reach api_problem, not crash. In
write_install_marker the channel lands in JSON verbatim and CHANNEL
can come from the environment, so only stable, rc, staging or dev is
recorded and anything else becomes "unknown" — with test cases for a
valid channel and for we"ird, both asserting the marker parses
(python3 -m json.tool, or jq, else a strict channel check). Fence the
README Telemetry notice in a ```text block so Markdown keeps its
alignment, wording byte for byte. Clear the two shellcheck findings in
test/installer-telemetry.sh with one block disable for SC2016/SC2034 —
ok() evals those strings, so the quoting is deliberate — and export
CODEAF_TELEMETRY/DO_NOT_TRACK where a subshell needs them, without
weakening any assertion.

* release-downloads: daily PostHog report of public GitHub release download counts

A scheduled workflow reads the repository's releases from the public GitHub
API and sends one codeaf:release_downloads event per binary asset
(codeaf-<os>-<arch>[.exe]) — sidecars like checksums.txt are not reported.
Each event carries release_tag, channel (stable or the prerelease suffix),
prerelease, os, arch, the cumulative download_count and the UTC
snapshot_date; the event id is derived from tag, asset and date, so a
same-day rerun deduplicates instead of counting twice. No code in the
binary; counts come only from public release data.

* release-downloads: tests cover the workflow, docs and pagination

The dry-run unittests now also assert the identifiers the wire spec spells
out where the script and the workflow spell them: the schedule, dispatch,
contents-read permissions, built-in token, project-key secret and host
variable in .github/workflows/release-downloads.yml, the public-data
paragraph in docs/rules/promotion.md, stdlib-only imports, pagination
across API pages, the host override and the /batch/ endpoint, sidecar
skipping, draft skipping, and the channel words stable, rc, dev and
staging.

Co-Authored-By: codeaf <[email protected]>

* release-downloads: four review corrections to the script

Channel detection now follows the tag grammar in
cmd/codeaf-release/version.go: stable, rc, dev and staging tags match
their four patterns and anything else reports "unknown", so
dev-20260917-09299019bcdc is no longer mislabelled "stable".

--dry-run works without CODEAF_POSTHOG_PROJECT_KEY, the local and test
path: the batch prints with api_key "<unset>" and exits 0, and only the
sending path stops with the notice.

Every event carries "$geoip_disable": true next to
"$process_person_profile": false, since the sender is a CI runner whose
location is meaningless. The module docstring now names
release-downloads.yml, the file that exists.

The fixture holds one tag of each shape plus an unrecognised one, and
the tests assert the channel for each, including the two real dev and
staging tags.

* release-downloads: test runs on Python 3.9 too

ScriptSourceTest read sys.stdlib_module_names unguarded; the attribute
arrived in Python 3.10, so the suite errored on macOS stock python3
(3.9.6). Guarded with getattr so the pinned import-set check stands on
its own where the attribute is absent; 32 tests pass on 3.9, 3.10 and
3.14.

Co-Authored-By: codeaf <[email protected]>

* installer telemetry: the notice is read from docs/TELEMETRY.md

The test read .telemetry-contract.md, a working note that is not in the
repository and never will be, so it aborted with "telemetry contract is
missing" in a clean checkout. It now extracts the fenced block under
"## The notice" in docs/TELEMETRY.md — the same bytes as the Notice
constant in internal/telemetry/notice.go — and holds the installer's
TELEMETRY_NOTICE to it as before; a new assertion holds the README's
telemetry fence to it too, byte for byte, so the invariant the suite
existed to guard now has its third leg.

Comments in scripts/install.sh, internal/telemetry/telemetry.go and this
test now name docs/TELEMETRY.md as the source of the notice.

No Go code changed and no Go tests were run. shellcheck is clean; the
suite's 33 passing assertions include the two new notice checks, and the
same two stat(1)-related assertions that already failed on this GNU
machine before the change still fail with identical output.

Co-Authored-By: codeaf <[email protected]>

* release-downloads: the download-counts paragraph lives in docs/TELEMETRY.md

docs/rules/promotion.md was the only home the paragraph had, and it came
with a fallback pinning the branch to the state before the telemetry
doc existed. The paragraph moves, byte for byte, into docs/TELEMETRY.md
as a final "## Download counts" section beside the rest of the telemetry
story, and promotion.md returns to its origin/dev content, so this
branch now touches no release docs.

test_no_telemetry_doc_on_this_branch asserted docs/TELEMETRY.md did not
exist and is deleted. The two tests that read the paragraph read it
where it now lives: both require a "## Download counts" section in
docs/TELEMETRY.md naming .github/workflows/release-downloads.yml,
scripts/release_downloads.py and the checksums.txt sidecar, and the
promotion.md fallback is gone.

No Go code changed and no Go tests were run; the property table in
docs/TELEMETRY.md is untouched. The suite passes: 31 tests, OK.

* session: the carry-ladder fixtures wait for the mark's drawing, not race the scheduler (#1104)

* session: the carry-ladder fixtures wait for the mark's drawing, not race the scheduler

TestASuccessfulHandoffJournalsTheRungThatSuppliedTheBrief failed once in a full
make check at line 118: the worker's brief was the running model's draft, not
the mastermind's written handoff.

THE CAUSE IS NOT A STOLEN STEP. Reproduced under load (60 CPU burners, the
fixture run 1500 times), every request the fixture makes is either the turn's
own or one the aside answers: the queue carries only `round`, `draft` and
`writer`, and the errands beside the turn (title, namer, the mark's drawing)
never touch it. What moves is the ROUND COUNT — 41 to 54 across the runs —
because the mark's drawing is a sidecar (sidecar.go) whose landing the scheduler
places, and the turn is never held for it. On a busy machine the turn runs its
rounds off faster than the drawing's goroutine is scheduled onto a core, the gap
between the net firing and the drawing landing outruns the slack the script
carries ([checkpointSlack] says so in its own words), the writer's ask lands
PAST the end of the 53-step script, the scripted completer answers it with its
past-the-end line `(unscripted)` — which is not prose — the handoff rung reads
degenerate, and the carry ladder falls onto the draft. That is #392 exactly, one
mechanism along.

WHAT FIXES IT IS WAITING FOR THE READING. checkpointAgent now puts a watch on
the turn's own context ([watchReadings]) and the handover fixtures submit
through [watchedContext], so [answerWhenQuiet] holds each request that carries
the belt until every reading beside it has landed — the order a real turn has,
where a real model spends seconds on a step and the small readings land inside
it. The gap is then one boundary whatever else the machine is doing, and a
script long enough to cross the mark is long enough.

THE REGRESSION TEST holds the drawing back by a fixed wall time — standing in
for a scheduler that does not reach it in time — and insists on the behaviour:
the turn does not spend its script racing the drawing, and the writer's rung
still supplies the brief. It fails without the watch (the turn makes 54 rounds)
and passes with it.

* docs: the install proxy is live, and the manual says so

`https://agentfield.ai/get/codeaf` has served `scripts/install.sh` since
2026-09-16, the day the repository went public, so the compiled-in manual
and docs/GUIDE.md stop saying it is "not serving yet" and stop calling the
repository private. The proxied line goes first, as the README already has
it; the raw GitHub line is described as the script under it. Both pages say
to pipe into `bash`, not `sh`, because the script uses pipefail and `[[ ]]`
and dash rejects them, and both state the channel path (`/dev`, `/staging`,
`/rc`) beside the flags. The manual also says what the proxy refuses: a
script without its channel line exactly once, or a body that is not a shell
script, is a 502 rather than the wrong thing.

* A launch says a newer codeaf is out, and /update installs it and restarts (#1060)

* The release-tag grammar has one home, and it is internal/update

Stable, rc, dev and staging tags are parsed, compared and bumped in exactly one
place now. cmd/codeaf-release keeps its next, kind and prune behaviour and its
tests unchanged; it reads the grammar from the new package rather than owning a
second copy of it.

A second parser is the thing that drifts: the updater about to land needs the
same answer to "is this tag newer than that one" that the release tool gives,
and one source of truth is the only way they cannot disagree.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

* internal/update: look up a release, check it, and replace this binary with it

The launch check answers only for a build that could sensibly be behind: a
stable tag, or a release candidate whose stable line has since been published.
A dev or staging build, a make build sha and an unstamped binary make no request
at all, because a channel build is deliberately newer than stable and a source
build belongs to whoever built it. The answer is cached for a day beside the
profile, and every failure is silence.

The install downloads into the target's own directory, matches the sha256 from
checksums.txt, and only then renames over the running file, so a refused
download, a wrong checksum or an unwritable directory all leave the original
binary exactly where it was and no temp file behind. The API token never leaves
the API host: the redirect policy strips it the moment a redirect changes host,
which Go does not do on its own for another port or a subdomain. Windows has no
atomic rename over a running image, so it goes through ReplaceFileW and puts the
original back when Windows reports the one failure that moves it.

* tui3: a launch says a newer codeaf is out, and /update installs it

The launch line is one dim transcript note carrying both versions, /update, and
the curl line, because the command is what the owner asked to be given. It
arrives as a command rather than an opening read, so the first frame is drawn
before the network is asked anything and a slow or refused answer draws nothing.

/update — /upgrade is the same road — names the tag, then the checksum and where
it landed, then quits with a restart plan for the door to carry out. Already
newest says so and stays. It refuses while a turn or a task is running, and once
it has started, one shared guard keeps a second /update and a new turn from
beginning underneath it: the restart must never quit on top of live work, and
the home page's Enter roads go through the same guard chat's does.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

* codeaf update, and the door that restarts the same conversation

codeaf update --check prints one line and exits 0 when this release is newest,
3 when a newer one exists, 1 when it could not ask. Without --check it installs
stable, or whatever --rc, --dev, --staging or --version names, choosing a
channel build by its own publish time the way the installer does. A binary built
from source refuses in place and names its path rather than replacing something
a developer is holding.

The restart happens here and not inside Bubble Tea: the surface fills a slot,
the door reads it once the frame is down and the terminal is back, and then
execs the new binary with this launch's own arguments plus --session pointing at
this transcript, so the conversation reopens where it was. A linked-local engine
is asked to retire only after the surface has detached, and it still refuses
while another window or any live work is there.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

* remote: a window that says it is leaving needs no torn-link grace

The twenty-second grace exists for a terminal that was killed without saying so,
and a deliberate detach is the opposite of that — the window has just announced
its departure. Carrying the grace anyway left a cleanly closed window looking
attached for two more call deadlines, which kept a freshly installed codeaf
waiting behind the engine the old one had already left.

It clears only once the last view is gone. Turns, tasks, unanswered questions,
other views and live work all still refuse retirement, and a refusal still never
stops the work it protects.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

* The installer and the updater agree on what a channel tag looks like

Two roads now install codeaf, and they were reading the same release list by
different rules: the shell accepted any dev-* or staging-* tag and semver parts
with leading zeroes, while internal/update accepts only the shapes the release
workflow actually publishes. A malformed tag newer than a real one would send
the two roads to different builds.

One helper carries the grammar to both channel selection and the line that names
the channel, and an unrecognised tag for the asked-for channel now says so
instead of installing whatever came back. The publish-time ordering #1056 added
is untouched: only which candidates are eligible changed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

* The manual stops saying that nothing self-updates

That sentence was true until this change and is now the opposite of true, so it
goes, and a section written in the words people bring takes its place: is there
a newer version, how do I update codeaf, why does it say this every time I
start. It states who gets the launch line and who never does, the opt-out
variable, the day the cached answer lasts, the shell exit codes, and both
refusals — a build made from source and an executable nobody may write.

The command table names /update and /upgrade with the argument they take. Four
probes reach the new section, and the remote page keeps its own asker's words in
its heading so the new section cannot take that question from it.

* update: --check answers for the channel it was asked about, and a newer build is never downgraded

Two things a hand verification caught. --check parsed whatever tag it had
selected with the stable grammar alone, so --dev, --staging and --rc could
never be "newer" and every one of them answered "you are on the newest codeaf"
and exited 0 while a newer build sat in the list. The check now keeps its
channel all the way through the decision and always names the tag it is talking
about: stable and rc compare as semver, a dev or staging tag is the same tag or
a different one, and --version is equal or it is not.

And a build AHEAD of the newest stable was quietly installed backwards — the
check said newest, the install downgraded it. Both roads refuse now, naming both
versions and the deliberate way past:

  this codeaf is v0.3.0, ahead of the newest stable v0.2.0 — pass --version
  v0.2.0 to install it anyway

An explicit tag IS that deliberate road, so --version and /update <tag> still
install exactly what was named.

* update: a failure names the asset and the status, and ends with the curl line

A download that failed printed the whole fallback URL, which put the retired
product name on somebody's screen. The line names the asset it asked for and the
status it got back, and nothing about which repository answered — the
compatibility attempts still happen, they are just not the person's business.
Every terminal failure now ends with the curl line, which D9 asked for and the
download path had been missing.

The / list declared no argument for /update while the command page documented
one, so the list gains the second row the way /cache has one. The manual section
now says what the code does about a build ahead of the newest stable, where it
had said such a build "gets nothing" — true of the launch line, and false of the
install until this wave.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

* update: the curl line is agentfield.ai/get/codeaf, the supported road

The launch line, the refusals and the terminal door offered the raw
GitHub address of scripts/install.sh. The repository is public and
agentfield.ai/get/codeaf has served that script from main since
2026-09-16, so the constant now spells the supported line, the manual's
update section names it in place of "the curl line below", and the
change entry says so. Asked for on the pull request by Santosh.

* a run's own scratch note no longer fails the delivery gate (#1096)

* codeaf: a run's own note is offered outside the tree it is judged in

leafOutputHint invited a job root to write its overflow document at a
workspace-relative name (exec.SuggestPathFor's task-2-x1-toolchain-checks.md
shape), so a run working in a person's directory left that note untracked at
the root of their working tree. The delivery gate holds the run's record —
the artifact registry, joined by jobArtifacts, plus the delivered tree —
against the request, read the note as part of what was handed over, and
refused the delivery; the run then ended incomplete over complete work.
There is no separate mechanical clean-tree check to exempt, so the fix is
the writer's: where the workspace belongs to the person, the root's file
invitation points at the run's scratch beside its recorders and job logs,
and the message keeps carrying the deliverable.

* codeaf: a person's own file still joins the record the gate reads

TestARootLeafInAPersonsDirectoryPutsItsNotesInScratch baselined the tree
after the note was already written, so its landing read could never have
observed anything: the record stayed empty because of the ordering, not
because of the address. The baseline now happens first, in the executor's
own order, and a hint that ever points into the tree again fails on the
observation, not only on the spelling.

And the other half of the law is pinned down: a file that turns up in the
person's tree while the leaf runs — even at a name wearing the run's own
task-<n>-<slug>.md shape — is still observed and still lands in the record
the delivery gate is held to. Only the run's own note moved; nothing else
about what the tree says was loosened.

* chat: the wordmark is drawn CodeAF, four rows, capitals on the d's cap line (#1106)

`┌─┐ / ├─┤ / └─┘` is not an `a`, it is two closed bowls of equal size
stacked on each other, and two equal closed bowls are an `8`. That was
the second-to-last glyph of the product's own name on the first screen
of every fresh install. The owner's answer is to have the two letters
at the end stand up out of the word as capitals: `A` is an apex, a
crossbar and two legs; `F` is the one letter whose case is told by its
arms alone, so its top arm is the longer one.

A CAPITAL'S TOP IS THE ASCENDER'S TOP, and three rows of box-drawing
could not give it that. A bar is drawn at the middle of its cell and a
stem reaches the cell's edge, so the `d` stood half a row over any
capital however it was formed — and a stem in the bottom row hung half
a row under the bowls' baseline the same way. The fourth row is that
half a row made whole: the x-height letters live in the lower three and
leave the top row blank; the capitals and the `d`'s ascender start in
the top row, the ascender as the half-stroke `╷` so its top is the
capitals' bar; and every stem that ends on the baseline ends as `╵`,
which stops where `└─┘` does. A `│` in the bottom row is a descender
and nothing else.

THE WORD IS SPELLED `codeaf` AND DRAWN `CodeAF`. `product` is unchanged,
the glyph table is still keyed by its lowercase letters, and a terminal
that cannot draw boxes still gets the word `codeaf`.

The greeting's centring test read the unit's left edge off the
wordmark's first row, which is now the cap line the x-height letters
leave blank; it reads the second row. The one manual page that draws
the wordmark had been drawing the retired `aforge` letterforms under
the label "the codeaf wordmark" — the name law walks text and cannot
see a name spelled in box-drawing — and draws the shipped forms now.

* A real release download finishes: the 3-second check clock no longer covers the asset (#1110)

* update: a release download gets its own clock, not the check's

The release client was built as http.Client{Timeout: 3s} because three seconds
is right for the launch check, and Go's Client.Timeout covers the WHOLE
exchange including every body byte. The same client then downloaded the
release asset, so a 57 MB download on a healthy link — about eight seconds
here — was cut off three seconds in and a person read `read the release
response: context deadline exceeded`.

Client.Timeout is gone. The transport bounds only what has made no progress: a
5 s dial, a 5 s TLS handshake, a 10 s wait for response headers. Every call now
takes its deadline from its context. The launch notice and `--check` share the
one CheckTimeout constant, install metadata gets 10 s per request, and the
asset gets a 30-second no-byte stall window plus a 15-minute ceiling — a dead
link fails with a sentence, a slow one finishes.

No Go deadline text reaches a person. A stall says `downloading
codeaf-linux-amd64 stalled — no bytes for 30 s`, the ceiling says `took longer
than 15 minutes`, and late headers say `did not start arriving within 10 s`.
The stall window, the ceiling and the metadata window are injectable, so the
tests prove the clocks with real slow, silent and trickling servers rather than
waiting out the shipped ones.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]>

* update: both doors read the one check constant

`codeaf update` and the chat surface each spelled `3*time.Second` when they
built the release client, which is how a figure meant for one small request
came to govern an install. Both now pass update.CheckTimeout, and the three
seconds live in exactly one place.

The terminal's `--check` takes the client's Check, which is the whole-exchange
check deadline; a plain `codeaf update` keeps Select, so the metadata requests
an install makes get the ten seconds they need.

* docs/changes: v0.2.1 rolled up into CHANGELOG.md (#1113)

The 33 entries that landed on dev since the v0.2.0 roll-up are the ## v0.2.1 section of CHANGELOG.md now; docs/changes/unreleased/ keeps only this pull request's own entry. Stable v0.2.1 takes its notes from that section.

* README: telemetry folds under Docs (#1115)

The 23-line Telemetry section between Install and the product tour becomes one collapsed block at the end of Docs: a plain summary line, the notice verbatim, one sentence and the link to docs/TELEMETRY.md. The notice block is unchanged, so it still matches the binary, the installer and docs/TELEMETRY.md. Replaces #1112.

* santos/dev lands on dev: crew family, Pareto crewing, the Model Pool, custom connections (#1194)

Lands the integration branch santos/dev (#1108, head 6db5125b2, 152 commits over dev) on dev as one squash, plus two fixes that kept its touched-packages job red: the pool start-up test empties the CI word it is not about (649bb4bfd), and a zombie leader no longer keeps a job's process group alive on Linux, which had delayed every finished background job by the two-second termination grace since #1155 (053e6a90f). #1108 carries the full account; the 94 change entries under docs/changes/unreleased/ are the per-change record.

* chat: the unconnected custom row on /connect keeps its vendored name (#1195)

modelConnectionStatus renamed every custom-id row to the connection's Written word, and the catalog template's Written is the bare id, so a person who had connected nothing yet saw `custom` where the manual, the README and #1107 say `Custom OpenAI-compatible API`. Only a connected instance is called what the person called it now; the contract test draws both rows and is red without the fix. Found verifying the staging build of #1194.

95 loose entries — the crew family and Pareto crewing, the Model Pool and its relay, custom connections, the telemetry audit, the update door's download clock, and the fixes that followed — become the `## v0.3.0` section the stable release reads its notes from.

* ci: a changed directory in a nested module is not a package of the root module (#1332)

The touched-packages job and the Makefile's test-touched target both derived the test set as every directory holding a changed .go file, and handed a directory under its own go.mod to go test, which answers "main module does not contain package" and fails the job as a setup error. Both walks now stop at the first go.mod above the directory and skip nested modules, so the bench fixtures under bench/bashloop/fixtures are left alone and make pr-ready derives the set the gate will.

Verified on the 621-file diff that surfaced it: 43 directories to 36, the seven dropped are exactly the fixtures, and the two halves print the same list.

* santos/dev lands on dev: the worker harness, stopping and limits, the task page and rail, goroutine ownership at close (#1108)

Integration branch santos/dev, held as a closed slice at d39a4e308 plus the empty-prompt guard for generate_image (3a1f80f9c). Everything through #1192 had already reached dev as #1194; this carries #1193 and #1203 through #1331.

The worker harness: one loop under /task and codeaf do with a plan store per run, a plan seat, a work seat, a check seat and a review round after each piece of work, off unless CODEAF_TASK_BELT=bash is set, so the default road does not move. Stopping and limits: a person's stop reaches a run, a time or dollar limit ends a run and names itself, a run is handed what is left of the conversation's limits, a worker that stops making progress is told once and then ended. The task page and the rail: the plan as a tree, a run's row with its parts under it, step rows cut from the commands as they ran, a press on a run's row opens its page in under 0.2 seconds. The engine host and sign-in, the profile's composed writes across two processes, unread config keys said once. Nothing keeps writing after the process closes: the place sweep, the standing ticker, the usage writers, the pool judge sweep and the catalog warm are each owned, stopped and joined, and a law lists every goroutine a conversation process starts. The heavy-suite lock is a kernel file lock that follows the suite. The lazy lexer registry, one fuzzy matcher for every picker, the drafted-with footer on the CodeAF repository.

Reviewed 2026-09-21: gates green locally and in CI once #1332 taught the touched-packages walk about nested modules; the default road verified live on both roads against a dev baseline; the one regression the slice introduced (generate_image had lost its empty-prompt guard) fixed on the slice with a contract test.

* Honor chat-requested models for task workers and new conversations (#1935)

Preserve explicit worker model selection for joined tasks and descendants. Add model-selected independent and teammate chats, atomic launch claims, updated tool guidance, and regression coverage.

Validated all five live OpenRouter launch scenarios with DeepSeek v4.1 Flash and Kimi K3. All PR checks passed.

Refs #1839.

* Answer and verify the four skill capability questions (#1938)

Add direct skill definition, capability and troubleshooting answers, including memory-independent behavior. Pin the four original queries and verify tool-result delivery through real hosted terminal chats with memory saving on and off.

All eight live cases passed using exact deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash. All PR checks passed.

Closes #1937.

* Make All show the current conversation tabs (#1939)

* Scope All to the current conversation tab strip

* Keep screenshot launches guarded and use rendered count grammar

* Guard the screenshot terminal option command

* Expect current-tab scope in the All navigation hint

* Scope the All wall's copy and empty state to open tabs

The in-wall All chip now says the grid holds the tabs in this view
rather than saved conversations, and an empty scoped grid says no
conversations are open here instead of promising saved ones will
appear. wallEmptyText is shared by the live grid and the currently
unused wallEmptyRow, so the two stay in step. The dock test now proves
the label and the mark each open the wall scoped to open tabs, and the
render test pins the scoped empty line.

* Make open tabs a property of the open wall

closeWall now clears wall.openTabs with wall.on, so no reader after a
close can mistake a closed scoped wall for an open one. wallOpen still
reads the scope before it closes the wall, which is where the team is
kept.

A pick outlived a close that was not esc, so a card picked in the wall left

nobody had picked there. Every overview now opens with nothing picked.

* Run the same program when connecting to another machine (#1940)

* tui3, config: the gate row lands on the conversation you are in, and /status names the gate (#1063)

The three Safety rows — `ask before running`, the tool exceptions and the shell
command rules — wrote the profile and left the running gate alone, while the
YOLO badge read that profile live. So the badge and the gate disagreed in both
directions: `allow` lit the badge over a gate that kept asking, and `prompt` put
it out over a gate that was still wide open, which is the false-safety claim
#322 and #325 exist to prevent.

`applySetting` now pushes those three rows through `ApplyApprovals` — the seam
/permissions already drops a banked rule through — and refreshes the badge on
the same keystroke, on the branch where the push landed. A rebuild that could
not be done is said out loud on the panel's foot line in /permissions' own
words, `saved · from the next session`, and the badge stays with the gate in
force rather than following the file.

And /status carries the posture it never carried: `approvals prompt`, `allow` or
`deny`, in the `ask before running` row's own words, in the note, in --json and
on the phone's status sheet, from the one posture reading the badge uses. The
status row keeps its negative-space badge and the segment is no longer written
into the page twice.

The note's label column is measured from the widest label it carries, so three
crew assertions that spelled `"\ncrew"` plus exactly five spaces were
assertions about every other row on the page. They read the crew line by its
label now.

* session, prompt: a wrong completion check is answered with [no change], and the answer stands (#1065 round 1)

The end-of-turn reader saw 600 bytes of the last message, so a long table read
as cut off; the carry-on told the model to explain itself, and the explanation
became the only answer left in view under the fold.

The reader now sees up to 8 KB of the last words, and a cut it still has to
make ends with `[clipped by codeaf: N of M bytes]`, which its ask says is never
evidence of a cut-off answer. The carry-on lead says who wrote the note and
offers one exact reply, `[no change]`: it ends carrying on for the ask without
another reading, the transcript keeps it for the model, and neither replay nor
the live feed draws it — so the settled answer before it is what the fold finds.

system.md trades `# Tone` and `# Delivery` for `# The answer`, `# Words or
work`, `# When corrected` and `# Messages from codeaf`, and the two lines that
pushed action on questions are qualified. The lean page keeps all four; the
prefix waivers rise by the 1,705 bytes that cost, dated and named.

Self-review of #1067 found the token honoured on the wrong replies. The gate
read the turn's carry-on count, so a model that made calls in answer to the
note and then said [no change] ended the turn unread on an answer those calls
may have made stale, and a token after a load or ask nudge counted too. It now
reads the transcript: the token must be the very next reply to the reader's
own lead (answeredNoteUnchanged), and the dead declined flag is gone.

An ask up to the whole digest rides in its head, so eight kilobytes of last
words behind a long ask reached the backstop clip and ended in a bare `…`.
checkpointClipSaid takes the room that is left. A turn that ends on the token
no longer starts the route judge or hands the token to the memory reflex, and
a later reading's last words skip it.

`# Messages from codeaf` named `[still asked]`, which only the reader ever
receives, and left out `[stuck]` and `[held]`, which the conversation does; it
now names the tags that arrive and says any other opening, such as
`[image #1]`, is the person's. The waivers sit on the measured 1,779 bytes, and
the manual and the change entry say what the gate actually honours.

* prompt: the new sections keep the rules the old two carried, and say what stays in view (#1065 round 1)

Owner review of #1067. Replacing `# Tone` and `# Delivery` had dropped five
rules; each is back inside the new sections: match the person's task and
vocabulary, choose the safe option under uncertainty, evidence and blocking
details complete, never a compiling scaffold or a narrowed test, never
half-solved work.

`# The answer` said only the last message reaches the person, which `# Planning`
contradicts: the plan and the per-batch sentence are shown while a turn runs. It
now says that once a turn ends only its last message stays in view.

`# Words or work` sat beside `## Work or words`, which spends the same two words
on hand-off sizing; it is `# Answer or change`, and it says an answer asked for
in chat is written in the reply, not a file, unless the person asks for one.

The waivers sit on the new measurement, 2,035 bytes over dev on both arms.

* prompt: the messages-from-codeaf list names every note codeaf writes

The system prompt now distinguishes conversation user-role notes from private reader and tool-result markers. A structural test follows the production constants, and the byte waivers record the exact fixed and lean measurements.

* session: no change skips judgment only when it answers the reader

The completion loop now uses the transcript context before suppressing the route judge or substituting the prior answer for memory. Tests cover the withdrawn and ordinary-token memory paths, and the manual separates counting from display.

* test: the model stub replays the no-change fold

The OpenAI-compatible stub can now drive the real binary through eleven read rounds, a long table, a rejecting reader, and the exact token reply. The recipe records the tmux setup and the expected log and screen evidence.

* prompt: the standing-news tag stays with the event, not on the page

The messages-from-codeaf list had named [something you set up fired], and
TestTheSteeringLineReadsAsNewsAndNotAsARequest refused it: that line says
under the news itself what it is and what not to do about it, so the page's
copy is one law bought on every request of every turn for a turn most
sessions never have. The list keeps the compaction tags, the structural test
now files the standing frame with the private voices the page must not name,
and the waivers fall to the new measurement (fixed 55,280, lean 47,055).

* Clean internal experiment records and revive test/ux for codeaf (#1068)

* chore: clean internal experiment records and revive test/ux for codeaf

Public-repository cleanup ahead of opening the docs to outside readers.

- Remove four internal DOE/experiment record directories that reference
  private issue and pull-request numbers and are not current-product
  documentation: docs/design/pin-doe, plan-gate-doe, turn-wall-share-doe,
  and workspace-foundation.
- Neutralize internal machine references in benchmark and design docs:
  the bench host ("spark"), its secrets.env path, and a personal working
  branch name, all now generic placeholders.
- Revive test/ux/, the user-facing journey suite, for the renamed product:
  collapse the removed v1/v2 dual-surface logic into the single v3 surface,
  repoint the binary to cmd/codeaf and state to ~/.codeaf/CODEAF_*, and
  delete gate.sh whose premise was the v1-vs-v2 parity table.

* chore: drop internal conversation-runtime wave records, keep the measurement contract

The conversation-runtime directory was a local development wave: day-by-day
status, /private/tmp paths, "owner authorized" process notes, draft PR numbers,
and local change logs. None of it is current-product documentation a public
reader needs. Keep PARETO.md, which is the benchmark's cited measurement
contract, trimmed of its dangling calibration link and owner language.

Co-Authored-By: codeaf <[email protected]>

* chore: neutralize the remaining bench-host and work-machine references

A wider sweep found the internal bench host ("Spark"), its secrets path
(fleet/secrets.env), and a scratch ops directory still named in live docs,
bench READMEs and bench scripts that the earlier redaction had not touched.
Rename the host to "benchhost"/"the bench host", drop the secrets path, and
replace "the laptop" as the owner's own machine with a neutral "work machine"
where it meant the internal one. The manual's first-person "the laptop you are
sitting at" is public-facing and left alone.

* chore: fix review findings in the public-cleanup diff

- PERF.md: drop a private tracker issue reference (#846).
- PARETO.md: restore a complete sentence dropped when the calibration link was
  removed, and align tense with the remaining present-tense claim.
- home-mission-control/DESIGN.md: drop the internal "fleet" system name and
  an owner-framing phrase, consistent with the secrets-path scrub elsewhere.

* docs/design: the two records live code still cites stay in the tree

plan-gate-doe/REPORT.md is the measured evidence behind the plan-gate default
that twelve comments in cmd/codeaf, internal/config, internal/session and
internal/splitgate point at, and turn-wall-share-doe is the run
internal/session/turnwall.go says it was added from. CLAUDE.md keeps the
record on purpose for exactly this reason, and neither folder names a machine,
a secret or a private address.

* test/ux: the revived journey suite goes back out

#991 removed it because it drove the v1 and v2 surfaces, and the revival did
not change that: its journal verb reads graph.db tables (messages, nodes,
usage, commands) that the v3 chat never writes, lib.sh still waits for the
resident, nothing runs it from the Makefile or a workflow, and its only
evidence was bash -n. docs/JOURNEY.md says internal/e2e is the one suite that
drives the binary, and that stays true. A suite that has been run green
against bin/codeaf can come back on its own pull request with a target that
runs it.

The first draft said the v3 chat never writes the graph.db tables the suite
reads. Running the suite showed both message rows landing, so that sentence
was wrong; what is true is that nothing runs the suite, it had never been run,
and its first journey fails on its first screen check (#1072).

The author codeaf stamped on the commits it lands was `codeaf <codeaf@localhost>`, which no GitHub account can link, so every branch codeaf landed failed the CLA check. It now writes `codeaf <[email protected]>` - the identity the Co-Authored-By trailer already used - and keeps `codeaf@localhost` and `aforge@localhost` recognised as legacy by taskCommitIdentity.

GLM 5.3's review caught an unmarked retired name in permissions.md that reddened the namelaw gate, and seven stale test fixtures; both fixed. Laws gate, session, exec and cmd are green.

* telemetry: anonymous usage counts, off with CODEAF_TELEMETRY=off (#1095)

* telemetry: the package behind anonymous usage counting, per the wire contract

Four typed events (first_run, session_started, session_ended, fault) with the
contract's allowlisted, bucketed props; the opt-out ladder with its off
reasons; a hashed install identity at 0700/0600; a fault fingerprint over
codeaf function names only; a JSON-lines spool with a deadline-bounded flush
of up to 50 events per POST, 7-day age drops and a 1000-line cap; the notice
constant with NoticeShown/MarkNoticeShown gating the flush; and Show() for a
future codeaf telemetry show.

A library only: nothing in cmd/codeaf, internal/session or internal/config
reads it yet.

Co-Authored-By: codeaf <[email protected]>

* telemetry: tests, doc, and contract fixes for the usage-count package

Adds the package's tests — bucketing edges, the opt-out ladder, install
identity, the notice, fingerprinting, the spool against an httptest relay
(cap, age drop, 50-per-POST splitting, a hard deadline against a hanging
server, silence on failure) and the privacy law that no sentinel string
reaches the wire. docs/TELEMETRY.md documents the notice, what is sent and
how to turn it off, with a test that fails if the doc's property table
drifts from the Go allowlist.

Fixes four drifts from the wire contract found running those tests: the
<1m duration bucket was missing, the fingerprint's argument stripping cut
too much, the rc channel suffix must be a single integer, and under go
test a config-off rung outranks the test rung in the reason reported.

* telemetry: fix review defects 1-8 with tests

preservation, buildinfo.Dirty accessor.

* installer: record the install locally and print the telemetry notice

Following the telemetry wire contract: a successful install now writes
telemetry/install.json under the state root (dir 0700, file 0600) with
the install method, channel and UTC timestamp, leaves any existing
install_id alone, and makes no request the download steps did not
already make. At the very end the installer prints the contract's
notice to stderr after one blank line, or one line saying telemetry is
off when CODEAF_TELEMETRY/DO_NOT_TRACK opts out. README gains a plain
Telemetry section pointing at docs/TELEMETRY.md, and a new
test/installer-telemetry.sh proves the marker, the notice and the
opt-out without a network.

* installer: four review corrections to the telemetry commit

The review of 71ff95a6b found four things. Revert the one line that
changed `if [[ -z "${TAG:-}" ]]; then` back to `${TAG:-}`: under
set -u an unset TAG must reach api_problem, not crash. In
write_install_marker the channel lands in JSON verbatim and CHANNEL
can come from the environment, so only stable, rc, staging or dev is
recorded and anything else becomes "unknown" — with test cases for a
valid channel and for we"ird, both asserting the marker parses
(python3 -m json.tool, or jq, else a strict channel check). Fence the
README Telemetry notice in a ```text block so Markdown keeps its
alignment, wording byte for byte. Clear the two shellcheck findings in
test/installer-telemetry.sh with one block disable for SC2016/SC2034 —
ok() evals those strings, so the quoting is deliberate — and export
CODEAF_TELEMETRY/DO_NOT_TRACK where a subshell needs them, without
weakening any assertion.

* release-downloads: daily PostHog report of public GitHub release download counts

A scheduled workflow reads the repository's releases from the public GitHub
API and sends one codeaf:release_downloads event per binary asset
(codeaf-<os>-<arch>[.exe]) — sidecars like checksums.txt are not reported.
Each event carries release_tag, channel (stable or the prerelease suffix),
prerelease, os, arch, the cumulative download_count and the UTC
snapshot_date; the event id is derived from tag, asset and date, so a
same-day rerun deduplicates instead of counting twice. No code in the
binary; counts come only from public release data.

Co-Authored-By: codeaf <[email protected]>

* release-downloads: tests cover the workflow, docs and pagination

The dry-run unittests now also assert the identifiers the wire spec spells
out where the script and the workflow spell them: the schedule, dispatch,
contents-read permissions, built-in token, project-key secret and host
variable in .github/workflows/release-downloads.yml, the public-data
paragraph in docs/rules/promotion.md, stdlib-only imports, pagination
across API pages, the host override and the /batch/ endpoint, sidecar
skipping, draft skipping, and the channel words stable, rc, dev and
staging.

Co-Authored-By: codeaf <[email protected]>

* release-downloads: four review corrections to the script

Channel detection now follows the tag grammar in
cmd/codeaf-release/version.go: stable, rc, dev and staging tags match
their four patterns and anything else reports "unknown", so
dev-20260917-09299019bcdc is no longer mislabelled "stable".

--dry-run works without CODEAF_POSTHOG_PROJECT_KEY, the local and test
path: the batch prints with api_key "<unset>" and exits 0, and only the
sending path stops with the notice.

Every event carries "$geoip_disable": true next to
"$process_person_profile": false, since the sender is a CI runner whose
location is meaningless. The module docstring now names
release-downloads.yml, the file that exists.

The fixture holds one tag of each shape plus an unrecognised one, and
the tests assert the channel for each, including the two real dev and
staging tags.

* release-downloads: test runs on Python 3.9 too

ScriptSourceTest read sys.stdlib_module_names unguarded; the attribute
arrived in Python 3.10, so the suite errored on macOS stock python3
(3.9.6). Guarded with getattr so the pinned import-set check stands on
its own where the attribute is absent; 32 tests pass on 3.9, 3.10 and
3.14.

Co-Authored-By: codeaf <[email protected]>

* installer telemetry: the notice is read from docs/TELEMETRY.md

The test read .telemetry-contract.md, a working note that is not in the
repository and never will be, so it aborted with "telemetry contract is
missing" in a clean checkout. It now extracts the fenced block under
"## The notice" in docs/TELEMETRY.md — the same bytes as the Notice
constant in internal/telemetry/notice.go — and holds the installer's
TELEMETRY_NOTICE to it as before; a new assertion holds the README's
telemetry fence to it too, byte for byte, so the invariant the suite
existed to guard now has its third leg.

Comments in scripts/install.sh, internal/telemetry/telemetry.go and this
test now name docs/TELEMETRY.md as the source of the notice.

No Go code changed and no Go tests were run. shellcheck is clean; the
suite's 33 passing assertions include the two new notice checks, and the
same two stat(1)-related assertions that already failed on this GNU
machine before the change still fail with identical output.

Co-Authored-By: codeaf <[email protected]>

* release-downloads: the download-counts paragraph lives in docs/TELEMETRY.md

docs/rules/promotion.md was the only home the paragraph had, and it came
with a fallback pinning the branch to the state before the telemetry
doc existed. The paragraph moves, byte for byte, into docs/TELEMETRY.md
as a final "## Download counts" section beside the rest of the telemetry
story, and promotion.md returns to its origin/dev content, so this
branch now touches no release docs.

test_no_telemetry_doc_on_this_branch asserted docs/TELEMETRY.md did not
exist and is deleted. The two tests that read the paragraph read it
where it now lives: both require a "## Download counts" section in
docs/TELEMETRY.md naming .github/workflows/release-downloads.yml,
scripts/release_downloads.py and the checksums.txt sidecar, and the
promotion.md fallback is gone.

No Go code changed and no Go tests were run; the property table in
docs/TELEMETRY.md is untouched. The suite passes: 31 tests, OK.

* provider: count answered model calls and their spend at the log door

* session: count sealed turns and executed tool calls

* cmd/codeaf: the session-ended event carries the run's counters

telemetryEnd builds the end event from telemetry.Snapshot so turns, model

a map over the exit ladder; and both lifecycle constructors are gated on
the ladder being on so a disabled run touches no state.

TestEverySettingRowHasATab wants every registry row on the settings panel.

* session: the carry-ladder fixtures wait for the mark's drawing, not race the scheduler (#1104)

* session: the carry-ladder fixtures wait for the mark's drawing, not race the scheduler

TestASuccessfulHandoffJournalsTheRungThatSuppliedTheBrief failed once in a full
make check at line 118: the worker's brief was the running model's draft, not
the mastermind's written handoff.

THE CAUSE IS NOT A STOLEN STEP. Reproduced under load (60 CPU burners, the
fixture run 1500 times), every request the fixture makes is either the turn's
own or one the aside answers: the queue carries only `round`, `draft` and
`writer`, and the errands beside the turn (title, namer, the mark's drawing)
never touch it. What moves is the ROUND COUNT — 41 to 54 across the runs —
because the mark's drawing is a sidecar (sidecar.go) whose landing the scheduler
places, and the turn is never held for it. On a busy machine the turn runs its
rounds off faster than the drawing's goroutine is scheduled onto a core, the gap
between the net firing and the drawing landing outruns the slack the script
carries ([checkpointSlack] says so in its own words), the writer's ask lands
PAST the end of the 53-step script, the scripted completer answers it with its
past-the-end line `(unscripted)` — which is not prose — the handoff rung reads
degenerate, and the carry ladder falls onto the draft. That is #392 exactly, one
mechanism along.

WHAT FIXES IT IS WAITING FOR THE READING. checkpointAgent now puts a watch on
the turn's own context ([watchReadings]) and the handover fixtures submit
through [watchedContext], so [answerWhenQuiet] holds each request that carries
the belt until every reading beside it has landed — the order a real turn has,
where a real model spends seconds on a step and the small readings land inside
it. The gap is then one boundary whatever else the machine is doing, and a
script long enough to cross the mark is long enough.

THE REGRESSION TEST holds the drawing back by a fixed wall time — standing in
for a scheduler that does not reach it in time — and insists on the behaviour:
the turn does not spend its script racing the drawing, and the writer's rung
still supplies the brief. It fails without the watch (the turn makes 54 rounds)
and passes with it.

* docs: the install proxy is live, and the manual says so

`https://agentfield.ai/get/codeaf` has served `scripts/install.sh` since
2026-09-16, the day the repository went public, so the compiled-in manual
and docs/GUIDE.md stop saying it is "not serving yet" and stop calling the
repository private. The proxied line goes first, as the README already has
it; the raw GitHub line is described as the script under it. Both pages say
to pipe into `bash`, not `sh`, because the script uses pipefail and `[[ ]]`
and dash rejects them, and both state the channel path (`/dev`, `/staging`,
`/rc`) beside the flags. The manual also says what the proxy refuses: a
script without its channel line exactly once, or a body that is not a shell
script, is a 502 rather than the wrong thing.

* A launch says a newer codeaf is out, and /update installs it and restarts (#1060)

* The release-tag grammar has one home, and it is internal/update

Stable, rc, dev and staging tags are parsed, compared and bumped in exactly one
place now. cmd/codeaf-release keeps its next, kind and prune behaviour and its
tests unchanged; it reads the grammar from the new package rather than owning a
second copy of it.

A second parser is the thing that drifts: the updater about to land needs the
same answer to "is this tag newer than that one" that the release tool gives,
and one source of truth is the only way they cannot disagree.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

* internal/update: look up a release, check it, and replace this binary with it

The launch check answers only for a build that could sensibly be behind: a
stable tag, or a release candidate whose stable line has since been published.
A dev or staging build, a make build sha and an unstamped binary make no request
at all, because a channel build is deliberately newer than stable and a source
build belongs to whoever built it. The answer is cached for a day beside the
profile, and every failure is silence.

The install downloads into the target's own directory, matches the sha256 from
checksums.txt, and only then renames over the running file, so a refused
download, a wrong checksum or an unwritable directory all leave the original
binary exactly where it was and no temp file behind. The API token never leaves
the API host: the redirect policy strips it the moment a redirect changes host,
which Go does not do on its own for another port or a subdomain. Windows has no
atomic rename over a running image, so it goes through ReplaceFileW and puts the
original back when Windows reports the one failure that moves it.

* tui3: a launch says a newer codeaf is out, and /update installs it

The launch line is one dim transcript note carrying both versions, /update, and
the curl line, because the command is what the owner asked to be given. It
arrives as a command rather than an opening read, so the first frame is drawn
before the network is asked anything and a slow or refused answer draws nothing.

/update — /upgrade is the same road — names the tag, then the checksum and where
it landed, then quits with a restart plan for the door to carry out. Already
newest says so and stays. It refuses while a turn or a task is running, and once
it has started, one shared guard keeps a second /update and a new turn from
beginning underneath it: the restart must never quit on top of live work, and
the home page's Enter roads go through the same guard chat's does.

* codeaf update, and the door that restarts the same conversation

codeaf update --check prints one line and exits 0 when this release is newest,
3 when a newer one exists, 1 when it could not ask. Without --check it installs
stable, or whatever --rc, --dev, --staging or --version names, choosing a
channel build by its own publish time the way the installer does. A binary built
from source refuses in place and names its path rather than replacing something
a developer is holding.

The restart happens here and not inside Bubble Tea: the surface fills a slot,
the door reads it once the frame is down and the terminal is back, and then
execs the new binary with this launch's own arguments plus --session pointing at
this transcript, so the conversation reopens where it was. A linked-local engine
is asked to retire only after the surface has detached, and it still refuses
while another window or any live work is there.

* remote: a window that says it is leaving needs no torn-link grace

The twenty-second grace exists for a terminal that was killed without saying so,
and a deliberate detach is the opposite of that — the window has just announced
its departure. Carrying the grace anyway left a cleanly closed window looking
attached for two more call deadlines, which kept a freshly installed codeaf
waiting behind the engine the old one had already left.

It clears only once the last view is gone. Turns, tasks, unanswered questions,
other views and live work all still refuse retirement, and a refusal still never
stops the work it protects.

* The installer and the updater agree on what a channel tag looks like

Two roads now install codeaf, and they were reading the same release list by
different rules: the shell accepted any dev-* or staging-* tag and semver parts
with leading zeroes, while internal/update accepts only the shapes the release
workflow actually publishes. A malformed tag newer than a real one would send
the two roads to different builds.

One helper carries the grammar to both channel selection and the line that names
the channel, and an unrecognised tag for the asked-for channel now says so
instead of installing whatever came back. The publish-time ordering #1056 added
is untouched: only which candidates are eligible changed.

* The manual stops saying that nothing self-updates

That sentence was true until this change and is now the opposite of true, so it
goes, and a section written in the words people bring takes its place: is there
a newer version, how do I update codeaf, why does it say this every time I
start. It states who gets the launch line and who never does, the opt-out
variable, the day the cached answer lasts, the shell exit codes, and both
refusals — a build made from source and an executable nobody may write.

The command table names /update and /upgrade with the argument they take. Four
probes reach the new section, and the remote page keeps its own asker's words in
its heading so the new section cannot take that question from it.

* docs/changes: the update check and /update, for #1060

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

* update: --check answers for the channel it was asked about, and a newer build is never downgraded

Two things a hand verification caught. --check parsed whatever tag it had
selected with the stable grammar alone, so --dev, --staging and --rc could
never be "newer" and every one of them answered "you are on the newest codeaf"
and exited 0 while a newer build sat in the list. The check now keeps its
channel all the way through the decision and always names the tag it is talking
about: stable and rc compare as semver, a dev or staging tag is the same tag or
a different one, and --version is equal or it is not.

And a build AHEAD of the newest stable was quietly installed backwards — the
check said newest, the install downgraded it. Both roads refuse now, naming both
versions and the deliberate way past:

  this codeaf is v0.3.0, ahead of the newest stable v0.2.0 — pass --version
  v0.2.0 to install it anyway

An explicit tag IS that deliberate road, so --version and /update <tag> still
install exactly what was named.

* update: a failure names the asset and the status, and ends with the curl line

A download that failed printed the whole fallback URL, which put the retired
product name on somebody's screen. The line names the asset it asked for and the
status it got back, and nothing about which repository answered — the
compatibility attempts still happen, they are just not the person's business.
Every terminal failure now ends with the curl line, which D9 asked for and the
download path had been missing.

The / list declared no argument for /update while the command page documented
one, so the list gains the second row the way /cache has one. The manual section
now says what the code does about a build ahead of the newest stable, where it
had said such a build "gets nothing" — true of the launch line, and false of the
install until this wave.

* update: the curl line is agentfield.ai/get/codeaf, the supported road

The launch line, the refusals and the terminal door offered the raw
GitHub address of scripts/install.sh. The repository is public and
agentfield.ai/get/codeaf has served that script from main since
2026-09-16, so the constant now spells the supported line, the manual's
update section names it in place of "the curl line below", and the
change entry says so. Asked for on the pull request by Santosh.

* a run's own scratch note no longer fails the delivery gate (#1096)

* codeaf: a run's own note is offered outside the tree it is judged in

leafOutputHint invited a job root to write its overflow document at a
workspace-relative name (exec.SuggestPathFor's task-2-x1-toolchain-checks.md
shape), so a run working in a person's directory left that note untracked at
the root of their working tree. The delivery gate holds the run's record —
the artifact registry, joined by jobArtifacts, plus the delivered tree —
against the request, read the note as part of what was handed over, and
refused the delivery; the run then ended incomplete over complete work.
There is no separate mechanical clean-tree check to exempt, so the fix is
the writer's: where the workspace belongs to the person, the root's file
invitation points at the run's scratch beside its recorders and job logs,
and the message keeps carrying the deliverable.

* codeaf: a person's own file still joins the record the gate reads

TestARootLeafInAPersonsDirectoryPutsItsNotesInScratch baselined the tree
after the note was already written, so its landing read could never have
observed anything: the record stayed empty because of the ordering, not
because of the address. The baseline now happens first, in the executor's
own order, and a hint that ever points into the tree again fails on the
observation, not only on the spelling.

And the other half of the law is pinned down: a file that turns up in the
person's tree while the leaf runs — even at a name wearing the run's own
task-<n>-<slug>.md shape — is still observed and still lands in the record
the delivery gate is held to. Only the run's own note moved; nothing else
about what the tree says was loosened.

* chat: the wordmark is drawn CodeAF, four rows, capitals on the d's cap line (#1106)

`┌─┐ / ├─┤ / └─┘` is not an `a`, it is two closed bowls of equal size
stacked on each other, and two equal closed bowls are an `8`. That was
the second-to-last glyph of the product's own name on the first screen
of every fresh install. The owner's answer is to have the two letters
at the end stand up out of the word as capitals: `A` is an apex, a
crossbar and two legs; `F` is the one letter whose case is told by its
arms alone, so its top arm is the longer one.

A CAPITAL'S TOP IS THE ASCENDER'S TOP, and three rows of box-drawing
could not give it that. A bar is drawn at the middle of its cell and a
stem reaches the cell's edge, so the `d` stood half a row over any
capital however it was formed — and a stem in the bottom row hung half
a row under the bowls' baseline the same way. The fourth row is that
half a row made whole: the x-height letters live in the lower three and
leave the top row blank; the capitals and the `d`'s ascender start in
the top row, the ascender as the half-stroke `╷` so its top is the
capitals' bar; and every stem that ends on the baseline ends as `╵`,
which stops where `└─┘` does. A `│` in the bottom row is a descender
and nothing else.

THE WORD IS SPELLED `codeaf` AND DRAWN `CodeAF`. `product` is unchanged,
the glyph table is still keyed by its lowercase letters, and a terminal
that cannot draw boxes still gets the word `codeaf`.

The greeting's centring test read the unit's left edge off the
wordmark's first row, which is now the cap line the x-height letters
leave blank; it reads the second row. The one manual page that draws
the wordmark had been drawing the retired `aforge` letterforms under
the label "the codeaf wordmark" — the name law walks text and cannot
see a name spelled in box-drawing — and draws the shipped forms now.

* A real release download finishes: the 3-second check clock no longer covers the asset (#1110)

* update: a release download gets its own clock, not the check's

The release client was built as http.Client{Timeout: 3s} because three seconds
is right for the launch check, and Go's Client.Timeout covers the WHOLE
exchange including every body byte. The same client then downloaded the
release asset, so a 57 MB download on a healthy link — about eight seconds
here — was cut off three seconds in and a person read `read the release
response: context deadline exceeded`.

Client.Timeout is gone. The transport bounds only what has made no progress: a
5 s dial, a 5 s TLS handshake, a 10 s wait for response headers. Every call now
takes its deadline from its context. The launch notice and `--check` share the
one CheckTimeout constant, install metadata gets 10 s per request, and the
asset gets a 30-second no-byte stall window plus a 15-minute ceiling — a dead
link fails with a sentence, a slow one finishes.

No Go deadline text reaches a person. A stall says `downloading
codeaf-linux-amd64 stalled — no bytes for 30 s`, the ceiling says `took longer
than 15 minutes`, and late headers say `did not start arriving within 10 s`.
The stall window, the ceiling and the metadata window are injectable, so the
tests prove the clocks with real slow, silent and trickling servers rather than
waiting out the shipped ones.

* update: both doors read the one check constant

`codeaf update` and the chat surface each spelled `3*time.Second` when they
built the release client, which is how a figure meant for one small request
came to govern an install. Both now pass update.CheckTimeout, and the three
seconds live in exactly one place.

The terminal's `--check` takes the client's Check, which is the whole-exchange
check deadline; a plain `codeaf update` keeps Select, so the metadata requests
an install makes get the ten seconds they need.

* README: telemetry folds under Docs (#1115)

The 23-line Telemetry section between Install and the product tour becomes one collapsed block at the end of Docs: a plain summary line, the notice verbatim, one sentence and the link to docs/TELEMETRY.md. The notice block is unchanged, so it still matches the binary, the installer and docs/TELEMETRY.md. Replaces #1112.

* santos/dev lands on dev: crew family, Pareto crewing, the Model Pool, custom connections (#1194)

Lands the integration branch santos/dev (#1108, head 6db5125b2, 152 commits over dev) on dev as one squash, plus two fixes that kept its touched-packages job red: the pool start-up test empties the CI word it is not about (649bb4bfd), and a zombie leader no longer keeps a job's process group alive on Linux, which had delayed every finished background job by the two-second termination grace since #1155 (053e6a90f). #1108 carries the full account; the 94 change entries under docs/changes/unreleased/ are the per-change record.
