fix(master_ai): prevent deterministic find/where-is intent from treating prose as filename targets

[ebey317]

Intent

Fix a real, live-reproduced bug in master-ai-cli's deterministic intent parser. Operator reported (verbatim): "it always confuses my emojis and overrides the overall question because it sees a f-ing emoji. i'm not taking my emojis off. i love that feature. we need to just fix that." Operator dictates most messages and routinely ends them with emoji (his established, intentional style — must NOT be removed or discouraged as a feature).

I diagnosed this empirically rather than guessing: tested master_ai.py's actual routing functions (orchestrate, detect_route, _acknowledgment_short_circuit, _agent_policy_issue_for_request, etc.) directly against his real messages from this session and found no misfire there. Then searched the real ~/.master_ai_chats/*.chat transcripts (plain-text session logs, not the summary log) and found the actual live reproduction twice tonight: a message starting with "find" or "where is" followed by a full natural-language sentence (with a period/comma/hint-word like "doc" or "repo" anywhere in it) was being treated by _deterministic_intent_to_directive()'s bare find/where-is patterns as a literal filename target, producing a broken find -iname '*<entire sentence including trailing emoji>*' shell command that could never match anything. The user's real question never reached the model. The emoji riding along in the broken command is what made it look like "the emoji" was the cause, but the actual defect is that _looks_like_local_find_target() and the where-is pattern don't validate that the captured target is actually a short filename/keyword rather than a multi-clause sentence.

Fix has two parts: (1) a new _looks_like_prose_not_target() guard (rejects targets with commas, >6 words, or contraction/connector words like "it's"/"probably"/"because") wired into both the find and where-is deterministic patterns, so full sentences correctly fall through to the real model instead of becoming a doomed literal glob search; (2) _clean_intent_object() now strips emoji (widened the existing _STRAY_EMOJI_RE to also cover variation selector U+FE0F and ZWJ U+200D) before any other cleanup, so emoji never leaks into a shell argument built from user phrasing, regardless of which deterministic intent pattern captured it — this is defense-in-depth, not a workaround for the root cause.

I explicitly chose NOT to strip emoji from the user's actual conversational input/history anywhere — only from text that gets turned into a literal shell command argument. The operator was clear he wants emoji preserved as an input feature; this fix must not read as suppressing or discouraging emoji use.

Verified before commit: py_compile clean. Directly re-ran the fixed function against both real historical failures pulled from tonight's actual chat logs and confirmed they now correctly return None (falling through to the model) instead of producing a broken RUN: find directive. Also confirmed 4 legitimate short-target cases still produce correct directives unaffected by the change (find resume.pdf, find my keychain file, where is the deploy script, where is my SSH config file — the last one confirming the emoji is correctly stripped from the resulting shell argument while the directive itself still fires correctly). Did not run the full test_master_ai_parser.py suite to completion before commit — it's long-running (20+ minutes, includes live-network-dependent cloud routing tests) and was still in progress; the targeted direct-function verification above is what stands behind this commit.

What Changed

• Added _looks_like_prose_not_target() guard and wired it into both the find and where is deterministic intent patterns in _deterministic_intent_to_directive(); targets that contain commas, exceed six words, or include contraction/connector words are now treated as prose and fall through to the model instead of becoming literal find -iname '*...*' globs.
• Moved emoji stripping to the start of _clean_intent_object() and expanded _STRAY_EMOJI_RE to cover variation selectors (U+FE0F) and zero-width joiners (U+200D), so emoji never leaks into shell arguments built from captured user phrasing while remaining preserved in conversational history.
• Added strict=False to several zip() calls in process_reply() for interpreter compatibility.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: Single-file, bounded bug fix with defense-in-depth emoji stripping; prose-guard trade-offs are explicitly authorized by intent and no unauthorized behavior is introduced.

Testing

Drove the real master_ai.py deterministic-intent parser directly and through router.route() against the exact live chat-log repros and the author's four legitimate short-target cases. Both prose inputs no longer trigger deterministic find directives, short targets still do, emoji (including U+FE0F and ZWJ sequences) is stripped from generated shell arguments, and raw user text is left untouched. py_compile is clean and the worktree remains unmodified.

• Live validation: ✅ go - 6 of 6 scenarios driven live against the product

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added a Telegram interface for sending requests, checking status, selecting a model, and starting a new conversation.
  • Headless runs can now use a selected model, and fast: requests can route through OpenRouter when configured.
  • Added support for additional tool-call formats and improved synthesis of skill results.
  • Conversations retain more message history, and the status bar shows history usage.
  • Resumed conversations can display and speak a brief recap; missing cloud-generated titles can use a title based on the first message.
• Bug Fixes
  • Improved handling of commands containing emoji, extra whitespace, or trailing punctuation.
  • Sentence-like requests and cloud-storage names are less likely to be mistaken for local searches or paths.
  • Chained read-and-edit requests can continue to the edit step; standalone directory-change commands receive repair feedback.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates AI routing, conversation handling, and directive execution. It adds a model-selectable headless runner, a Telegram gateway, and upstream commit monitoring and integration scripts. CI configuration and test expectations also change.

Changes

Core runtime and model handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Intent parsing and model routing master_ai.py	Parsing rejects selected prose-like search targets and recognizes named cloud-storage services. Routing changes select OpenRouter under the stated key and mode conditions. The default local model also changes.
Context and model continuation master_ai.py	History retention and route budgets increase. Completed skill results are added to history for model synthesis. A watchdog checks pending tasks, and startup restores carried input and can recap a resumed chat.
Tool conversion and directive execution master_ai.py	Tool-call conversion supports function-tag XML, Hermes JSON, and Mistral JSON-array formats. Directive extraction uses non-strict zipping. READ-to-EDIT chains continue to edit dispatch, and standalone cd commands receive repair feedback.
Status display and CLI output master_ai.py	The status bar can display context usage. Help rows are alphabetized, and several messages and separators change formatting.
Runtime routing and directive tests test_master_ai_parser.py, test_orchestrate_prefix_in_envelope.py, test_route_budgets.py, test_router_golden.py, test_typed_actions.py	Tests update fixtures and expectations for routing, command handling, route budgets, and vision-lane checks. Other test changes reformat existing assertions.

Headless and Telegram interfaces

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Model-enabled headless runner headless_runner.py	The runner accepts an optional model override and passes it to master_ai.ask_model_router.
Telegram message handling and service telegram_gateway.py, sensei_repl_bridge.py, systemd/telegram-gateway.service	The gateway handles configured chat access, commands, and free-text tasks. It uses a persistent REPL bridge for allowlisted commands, and the systemd unit starts the gateway.

Upstream commit automation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Commit monitoring and digest scripts/upstream_commit_watcher.py	The watcher fetches commits from configured repositories, scores messages, writes a dated digest, and saves check state.
Queued commit integration scripts/upstream_integrator.py	The integrator plans and validates queued changes, compiles generated Python files, runs its test gate, and records merge or review outcomes.

CI and test configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CI checks and pytest discovery .github/workflows/ci.yml, pyproject.toml	CI runs timeout-enabled pytest and Ruff checks. Pytest discovery changes to search from the repository root.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~100 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to e8ea9

Do not merge yet: upstream integration can mishandle branches and generated code, Telegram commands retain significant access and execution risks, and hot reload can lose the context needed to interpret a carried message. The smaller audio-preference and CLI-delay issues should also be fixed.

Reject connector-based prose targets.

_clean_intent_object() removes the leading the, producing handoff doc but not local file. The target has six words, no comma, and no term matched by _PROSE_TARGET_RE. _looks_like_local_find_target() accepts it because it contains doc and file, so the pre-model router emits a literal find glob instead of using model handling.

Add the connector terms used by the prose guard.

Proposed fix

 _PROSE_TARGET_RE = re.compile(
-    r"\b(it'?s|i'?m|i'?ve|that'?s|probably|maybe|which|because|actually)\b",

or ellipsis.
- Around line 15612-15618: Update the argument handling before payload selection
so JSON-encoded string values are decoded with json.loads; when decoding yields
a dictionary, use it for the existing command extraction in the arguments
branch, while preserving current behavior for invalid JSON or non-dictionary

a carried message is replayed only after restoring its saved conversation
history from the chat path in `RESUME_FLAG`; consume the resume flag after
restoration. Keep history restoration limited to the hot-reload carry case.
- Around line 16841-16845: Update the READ-failure branch guarded by
failed_reads to run only when no READ content was successfully injected; when
some READ succeeds, continue to the EDIT dispatch even if another READ fails.
Preserve the existing all-READ-failed behavior.
- Around line 15591-15593: Update the _MISTRAL_TOOL_CALLS_RE parsing flow to
decode the JSON array with JSONDecoder.raw_decode from its opening bracket
instead of stopping at the first closing bracket; use the decoded end position
when replacing the tool-call block so commands and nested argument arrays
containing ] are handled correctly.
- Around line 4352-4355: Update the Fireworks prefix condition in the routing
decision to require have_fireworks, keeping the prefix disabled until the

fn_map cannot handle.
- Line 4685: Update the peacetime chat routing in step 6 so that when `have_or`

preserve the existing Groq and Fireworks priority. Remove the now-unreachable
duplicate OpenRouter blocks guarded by `is_chat_class`, `have_or`, and `run_mode
== "peacetime"`.

In `@pyproject.toml`:
- Line 2: Add pytest-timeout to the declared development or test dependencies so
installations using the supported test dependency set recognize the existing
--timeout option in pytest addopts.

In `@scripts/upstream_commit_watcher.py`:
- Line 303: Update the `findings` type annotations to use `(owner, repo)` tuple
keys, matching the keys inserted at line 314 and unpacked at lines 232 and 325;

- Around line 313-319: Update _github_api to return a distinct failure value for
command errors, a missing gh binary, and subprocess timeouts, and have
_fetch_commits propagate that value when the response is invalid. In main,

In `@systemd/telegram-gateway.service`:

service configuration so systemd does not restart it when main() exits with
status 1; preserve the existing Restart and RestartSec settings.

In `@telegram_gateway.py`:

forwarded to `_run_sensei_repl_command` instead of being saved as the current
model; preserve the existing model-selection behavior for other arguments.
Ensure these bridged subcommands can reach the handler despite CommandHandler
claiming `/model` messages.
- Around line 119-120: Ensure Telegram replies stay within the 4096-character
limit and are non-empty: add shared handling that splits long text into valid
message-sized chunks and substitutes a fallback for empty or whitespace-only
text. Route replies from generic_command_handler and free_text_handler through
it, covering _run_sensei_task and _run_sensei_repl_command output as well as
headless and stripped prompt-box results.
- Around line 235-240: Update _is_allowed to authorize the sender rather than
relying on the group chat ID: check update.effective_user.id against an
allowlist of user IDs, or restrict access to private chats. Ensure group members
cannot pass authorization merely because the group chat ID is allowed.
- Around line 95-105: The Telegram free-text path invokes headless_runner.py
with the supplied task, allowing RUN and RUNTERM actions to execute shell
commands without approval. Update the gateway flow around the command
construction to require explicit approval before dispatching shell actions, or
disable RUN and RUNTERM for this gateway; do not rely on the substring denylist
as the safety control.

In `@test_master_ai_parser.py`:
- Line 1304: Update the routing assertion in the test containing handle() so it
verifies captured equals ["openrouter"] rather than merely being non-empty,
ensuring the cloud-deep route selects the expected provider.

The fireworks: prefix never reaches Fireworks.

This change routes fireworks: whenever a fireworks key exists. The previous have_fireworks gate was hardcoded to False because the Fireworks model ID returns 404.

The returned decision is {"route": "cloud", "model": "fireworks"}. handle() then calls _ask_claf(history) or ask_cloud(history, provider="fireworks"). The fn_map in ask_cloud() has no "fireworks" key, and the name contains no :: or /. The call therefore goes to ask_cloud_opencode_free.

The user asked explicitly for Fireworks. The reason string says "→ Fireworks", but the reply comes from CLAF or OpenCode.

Pick one fix:

• Keep the prefix disabled until the Fireworks lane works.
• Or add "fireworks": ask_cloud_fireworks_dsv3 to fn_map.

Move the OpenRouter chat route into step 6.

The two later OpenRouter blocks are unreachable. However, the local candidate is not the only reachable result. Step 6 returns Groq, Fireworks, or deepseek-r1 first.

This has a behavioral effect: an OpenRouter-only peacetime chat uses deepseek-r1, not the intended OpenRouter /free route.

Suggested fix

         if have_or:
             return {
-                "route": "cloud_deep",

_MISTRAL_TOOL_CALLS_RE stops at the first ].

The non-greedy \[.*?\] ends at the first ] in the reply. Shell commands often contain ], for example [ -f x ] && … or grep '[a-z]'. Nested arrays inside arguments also contain ].

In those cases the captured text is truncated JSON. json.loads fails, and the block stays untouched. The dispatcher then never sees the call, which is the invisible-tool-call loop this converter is meant to fix.

Decode from the array start with json.JSONDecoder().raw_decode instead of a regex terminator.

Decode arguments when it arrives as a JSON string.

Many OpenAI-style emitters send "arguments" as a JSON-encoded string, for example "{\"command\": \"ls\"}", not as an object. In that case arguments is a str. The code uses it as the payload directly and emits RUN: {"command": "ls"}.

Bash cannot run that command. Auto mode blocks it as a missing binary, and Review mode shows a meaningless prompt. Try json.loads on string arguments before choosing the payload.

Proposed fix

+        try:
+            decoded = json.loads(arguments)
+            if isinstance(decoded, dict):

The gerund-lead stall pattern still flags complete answers that contain no comma.

The new alternative only requires a lead word (checking, looking at, …) and no comma or newline. A complete one-sentence answer matches, for example "Looking at your config everything is fine." or "Checking the logs shows the key is missing."

Those replies have no directives and are under 400 chars, so process_reply treats them as stalls. It appends a [Directive repair] message, and the chain can end in the "I got stuck" fallback instead of showing the real answer.

Limit the alternative to short announcement shapes. For example, require the narrative to be a single short clause that ends in a filler word such as first, now, ... or ….

Proposed narrowing

CWE: CWE-78 — Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

Require approval before executing model-generated shell commands from Telegram. The Telegram free-text path passes user text to headless_runner.py --headless --task. Its RUN and RUNTERM actions call _run_shell, which executes the command with os.popen(). The only control is a substring denylist, so commands such as python3 -c ..., curl ... | sh, or find / -delete can run as the service user. Add an explicit approval step or disable RUN and RUNTERM for this gateway.

Split long replies and replace empty ones; otherwise Telegram rejects them.

Telegram sendMessage rejects text longer than 4096 characters. It also rejects empty text. There are three problems:

• _run_sensei_task returns up to 8000 characters (out[:8000]), so every reply of 4097–8000 characters fails.
• _run_sensei_repl_command output (for example doctor or sessions list) is never truncated.
• An empty reply fails: headless output is empty when ask_model_router returns None, and _strip_trailing_prompt_box can return an empty string.

In each of these cases, reply_text raises BadRequest. on_error logs the error, and the user receives nothing.

🐛 Proposed fix

_TG_MAX = 4096


async def _send_reply(update: Update, text: str) -> None:
    text = (text or "").strip() or "(no output)"
    for i in range(0, len(text), _TG_MAX):
        await update.message.reply_text(text[i : i + _TG_MAX])

-        await update.message.reply_text(reply)
+        await _send_reply(update, reply)

Apply the change in both generic_command_handler and free_text_handler.

/model stats and /model auto change the model instead of running the REPL commands.

CommandHandler("model", model_cmd) claims every /model ... message before generic_command_handler runs. So /model auto writes auto to MODEL_STATE_FILE, and every later free-text task passes --model auto. The allowlist entries "model stats", "model auto" and the "model " prefix can never be reached.

Forward bridged subcommands from model_cmd, or remove these allowlist entries.

Do not discard a completed plan based only on token count.

When a complete response uses at least 98% of max_tokens, this branch discards its content and retries. If the widened responses also cross the threshold, _ask_cloud returns None after three attempts. The integrator then records a failed plan despite receiving valid content. Check whether generation was truncated before retrying; token count alone does not establish truncation. The Chat Completions response defines finish_reason values for normal completion and length cutoff. (platform.openai.com)

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Move _sync_aoe_session_title() after the early CLI-flag exits.

_sync_aoe_session_title() is the first statement in main(), and it calls subprocess.run(..., timeout=10). Every argv path in main() runs after it, including the fast paths for -h/--help, --uninstall, update, and --setup that just print output and call sys.exit().

When AOE_INSTANCE_ID is set and the aoe CLI is slow or the daemon is unresponsive, this adds up to a 10-second delay before --help (or any other fast-exit flag) prints anything. The function's own docstring calls this "best effort," but a hard 10-second block ahead of instant commands contradicts that intent.

Move the call to after the -h/--help, --uninstall, update, and --setup checks, so only the interactive-session path pays this cost.

🐛 Proposed fix

def main():
    if any(arg in ("-h", "--help") for arg in sys.argv[1:]):
        ...

Gate the new recap's speak() call on TTS_ENABLED.

Every other call site in this file that speaks output checks TTS_ENABLED first (for example, the main loop after handle() and _query_worker both use if TTS_ENABLED: threading.Thread(target=speak, ...)). speak() itself performs no such check.

This new block starts the speak thread unconditionally. A user who ran tts off still hears the hot-reload recap spoken aloud, which contradicts their explicit setting.
