Restructure the WebUI around sub-agent activity: move definition management into Settings, turn the agents page into a live activity monitor with a read-only detail view, and slim the tasks page to scheduled jobs only. Persist incrementally streamed per-run transcripts in a new agent_run_messages table (schema v9, version-gated drops preserve v8 run history) and expose them via GET /api/agent-runs/{id}.
- drop agent_run_groups table and group_id/scope_kind/scope_id columns (schema v8)
- remove group_id from AgentExecutionContext and recovery group counters
- flatten TasksPage background tab into a per-run list
- add WebUI Agents page with definition CRUD and inline provider/model
- bump version to 1.11.0
- bash is now Delegatable so named Agents may run shell commands
- remove the legacy anonymous 'general' path entirely: SubAgentManager
run_background/run_foreground_batch/run_inline/run_foreground,
filter_tools/get_skills_prompt, TaskNotification direct delivery,
DelegateContext task-local, background_permits/admission, and the
delegate tool's check_task/cancel_task/list_tasks actions (agent_task
replaces them); /stop and todo migrate off the task-local bridge
- stop writing the legacy background_tasks table (read-only transition);
/api/tasks union still renders historical records
- ship a built-in general-purpose Agent definition (resources/agents)
released to ~/.picobot/agents on first run like built-in skills, with
bash/read-only/search/web/calculator/sleep tools; root_delegates now
defaults to it so orchestration works out of the box
- update AGENTS/README/architecture/config/db-schema docs accordingly
- RunQuota now enforced: background admission acquires the run permit
(global→session) and the runner holds it until terminal commit;
foreground never takes run permits so nested limit=1 cannot deadlock
- RuntimeAdmission activity guard held by background runners for the
whole run; admission checked before any durable write
- signal_contract_json/signal_delivery persisted at run admission so
definition-level steer delivery actually takes effect (was silently
falling back to queue)
- terminal completion payload carries the run's emitted signal IDs
(design §12.3) so the main Agent can recognise duplicates
- ROOT caller_scope_id is the literal "ROOT" (design §9.6)
- legacy general delegation returns a deprecation/migration hint
Cleanup:
- remove unused AgentCaller enum and run_parallel wrapper
- remove unreachable http_get_only prompt machinery (http_request is
RootOnly and never enters sub-agent registries)
- drop never-read EmittedSignal fields; derive WakeupSource from
TurnInputSource instead of duplicating match arms
- replace the /stop oneshot compatibility bridge with a plain turn_busy
flag; the worker's forced-cancel path now selects on the cancellation
token (implementation doc §11.1)
Version 1.8.0
- AgentCatalog/definitions with strict Markdown frontmatter, delegation graph,
fail-closed tool scoping, and signal contracts
- structured cancellation (AgentError::Cancelled/TimedOut) across provider
streams, tool batches, and sleep; /stop drives the same terminal state
- schema v6 run/group/inbox persistence with execution-ID conditional
transitions and completion-slot reservations
- ExecutionGate separating run quota from provider/tool step permits
- background completion inbox with hidden-trigger continuation turns,
fairness scheduling, lease release, dead-lettering, and activation recovery
- typed TurnMailbox with two-phase steer admission and atomic consumption at
turn commit; /stop releases admitted steer events back to pending
- emit_signal tool with contract-enforced rate/dedupe/severity/size limits
- WS run/event projection (GetAgentRuns, AgentRunUpdated, AgentEventUpdated),
/api/agent-runs* management endpoints, /api/tasks union, WebUI run tree
and signal cards
- ChannelContext.durable_private persisted for continuation delivery reuse
Version 1.7.0
Resolve strict Clippy findings across all targets, preserve public API compatibility with scoped lint exceptions, and fix sourced messages retaining media references. Replace meval and its future-incompatible nom dependency with a bounded internal expression parser and regression tests.
Add versioned SQLite migrations, enforced runtime pragmas, and transactional message constraints. Claim scheduled jobs with durable leases, execute them concurrently within bounds, and commit completion atomically. Supervise background tasks and clean up WebSocket clients and writer tasks during ordered shutdown.
- Removed InputHandler and related input event handling code.
- Updated GatewayState to handle new session commands for dialogs.
- Introduced UnifiedSessionId for managing session identifiers across channels and chats.
- Refactored Session and SessionManager to manage dialogs instead of sessions.
- Added methods for creating, listing, switching, renaming, archiving, and deleting dialogs.
- Updated storage functions to accommodate dialog IDs in persistent session management.
- Enhanced tests to cover new dialog functionalities and ensure stability.
