Per the surface-phase spec for the Chat cluster (ChatView, ChatPanel,
ChatMessage, ChatInputBar, ToolCallCard):
Long-form line-height
- ChatMessage: assistant-bubble .message-content jumps from 1.55 to
1.7 — chat is a reading surface, not a snippet stream. User
bubbles stay tighter.
- JournalView: dropped its :deep(.role-assistant .message-content)
override; ChatMessage handles it now and Journal inherits.
ToolCallCard borders
- Removed the outer 1px border. ToolCallCard always renders inside
an assistant bubble; the bubble already contains it. Background
tint differentiates without re-bordering. Per the
structural-not-decorative rule.
- Error state preserved as a 3px left-edge accent in --color-danger,
mirroring the assistant bubble's own left-edge pattern.
Button reclassification per Hybrid rule
- ChatView .bulk-link "All"/"None": accent text → --color-text-secondary
(these are tertiary list-control affordances, not brand moments)
- ChatView .bulk-delete-btn: --color-danger (Error terracotta) →
--color-action-destructive (Oxblood) per Hybrid; paired with a
Trash2 icon since destructive should always be reinforced by an
icon, not just color
- ChatView .btn-delete-conv hover: same Error → Oxblood swap
- .btn-new-conv stays accent (brand moment, correct already)
- .btn-send stays accent gradient (primary brand moment, foundation)
Two-weights-only
- Snapped every font-weight: 600/700 to 500 across ChatView,
ChatPanel, ChatMessage, ToolCallCard per the doc rule.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replaces every hand-inlined SVG in the chrome (60 across 15 files)
with Lucide components. Snaps icon sizes to the doc's 16/24 scale —
all icons in this pass land at 16. AppLogo wordmark stays as the
legitimate "custom app icon" exception per the doc; GraphView's <svg>
mount point for D3 stays as well.
Replaces emoji-as-icons in clear button-affordance cases with their
Lucide equivalents: ✕ → X (close/dismiss buttons across 8 files), ✓ →
Check (ProjectView task-advance button), 🎤 → Mic (ChatPanel voice
CTA), 📎 → Paperclip (ChatView context toggle), ↑ → ArrowUp
(ChatInputBar Send), × → X (ChatPanel context-note remove), ☀/☾
→ Sun/Moon (AppHeader theme toggle).
Inline emoji punctuation in textual confirmation copy ("Saved ✓",
"Created ✓", `done: "✓"` status maps, `'✓' : '📄'` interpolations)
is left for surface-phase voice/tone touchups — replacing requires
structural template changes and is best done per-component.
Stroke weight stays at Lucide's default 2px; tightening to the doc's
1.5/1 is deferred per the surface-phase spec (option ii: drop-in +
scale enforcement).
Adds lucide-vue-next ^0.469.0 to frontend/package.json. Docker
rebuild handles the install.

Applies the FabledSword + Scribe iteration palette to theme.css end to
end: indigo (#7c3aed) → dusty violet (#5B4A8A) accent, cool grey →
Obsidian/Iron/Pewter dark surfaces, warm parchment (#F5F1E8) light
mode, Inter body + JetBrains Mono code loaded alongside Fraunces, and
neutral hairline scrollbars (chrome is structural, not branded).
Adds the action token set (--color-action-primary Moss,
--color-action-secondary Bronze, --color-action-destructive Oxblood,
--color-action-ghost-border Pewter) but does not yet reclassify any
buttons — surface-phase work. Buttons remain dusty-violet gradients in
the meantime, by design.
Removes deprecated --color-accent-warm; replaces concrete usages with
--color-text-secondary (dates, flavor copy) or --color-warning (paused
status). Sweeps hardcoded indigo literals in component scoped CSS so
they don't bypass the token system.

Context sidebar sections (Auto-included / Suggested / In Context) are
now collapsible with chevrons, and collapsed state persists per
conversation via localStorage. A new Context (N) button in the chat
header toggles the whole sidebar — open by default on wide screens
(>=1200px), closed by default below. Visual differentiation: auto-
included notes get a muted background with an AUTO pill, in-context
notes get an active-chip style with a primary-colored left border,
and each section header shows its item count.

Phase B of chat view refinement. Bumps chat reading column to 1200px,
lifts the RAG scope chip out of the footer and into the ChatView header
(next to the title), and collapses the listen toggle / volume slider /
stop-playback buttons into a single speaker popover on the input bar.
Listen mode + TTS are now available in briefing and workspace chats too,
since the controls live on the shared ChatInputBar.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Header:
- Remove Research button + modal (skill fires reliably from normal chat)
- Move Summarize-as-Note into a header kebab (disabled until the
conversation has messages)
Left sidebar:
- Full-width "+ New Chat" primary button
- Search input filters conversations by title (case-insensitive
substring) with a "no matches" empty state
- Move Select into a sidebar kebab next to search
Shared .btn-kebab + .kebab-menu styles give future conv-level actions
a home. Document mousedown + Escape dismiss both kebabs.

The inherited .chat-panel-fill class lands on ChatPanel's new .chat-full
root via attribute inheritance, and its display:flex was overriding the
grid layout — stacking messages, sidebar, and input bar vertically
inside the reading column instead of placing the sidebar in grid col 4.
Layout is ChatPanel's responsibility now; .chat-panel-fill only sizes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The .btn-new-conv class has flex:1 for the sidebar row layout, but
when reused inside .no-conversation (a column flex), it stretched
vertically to fill the entire viewport — appearing as a giant
purple rectangle. Override with flex:none in the no-conversation
context.

- Drop max-width from .knowledge-root so the graph panel can use the full
viewport width without hitting a cap
- Drop max-width from .chat-page (message bubbles are already self-constraining)
- Increase normal graph panel width 420px → 500px
- Increase expanded width to min(960px, 60vw) so it scales with the viewport
and updates minichat right-offset to match
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Layout:
- Chat and Knowledge views now max out at 1600px and center on wide
screens, consistent with the rest of the app; app-content overflow
is set to hidden for both so they manage their own scroll
Graph panel (Knowledge):
- Open/closed state persisted to localStorage (fa_knowledge_graph_open)
— stays open across navigation and page refreshes
- Expanded state persisted (fa_knowledge_graph_expanded): chevron button
in the panel header toggles between 420px (normal) and 700px (expanded)
- Minichat right offset follows the panel width with a matching transition

Extract listen mode into a shared useListenMode() composable backed by
localStorage ('fa_listen_mode'). ChatView and BriefingView both use it,
so toggling auto-read on in one view keeps it on after navigation or
page refresh — no need to re-enable it each visit.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- ChatView: listen mode toggle (auto-reads new responses via TTS), volume popup
with range slider persisted per-device in localStorage via GainNode
- useVoiceAudio: shared module-level _volume ref with localStorage persistence,
GainNode for volume control, exported setVoiceVolume()
- tts.py: pre-warm all Kokoro voices at pipeline load to eliminate HuggingFace
HEAD requests at synthesis time (reduces TTS latency)
- BriefingView: discuss article button now auto-sends instead of just filling input;
prompt capped to 15 sentences; send() accepts optional overrideText
- llm.py: instruct LLM not to proactively search notes or comment on note absence
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Move voice status into settings store (voiceSttReady, voiceTtsReady),
checked once at login and refreshed after admin model reload
- ChatView, BriefingView, DashboardChatInput now use computed refs from
the store — mic buttons appear reactively without needing a page reload
- BriefingView: separate STT-only guard for mic PTT vs TTS-only guard for
listen mode / speak buttons
- Add ▶ Preview button to Voice & Speed section in Settings for single-
voice testing without enabling blend mode
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- ChatView: add PTT mic button in input bar (hold to speak → transcribe → send)
- BriefingView: restyle input bar to match ChatView (floating pill, circle send)
- BriefingView: move listen/mic controls into input bar, remove from header
- BriefingView: consistent icon-button style for speaker/mic matching ChatView

Previously the empty-conversation cleanup only fired when switching
between chats (convId watcher). Navigating to /notes, /tasks, etc.
left orphaned untitled empty conversations. onUnmounted now runs the
same check, deleting the current conversation if message_count === 0.

Design direction: "Illuminated Transcript" — the AI response is the
primary artifact; user prompts are subordinate margin notes.
ChatMessage.vue:
- User bubble: ghosted background (rgba 3-4% opacity), muted text,
thin near-invisible border. De-emphasized, recessed.
- Assistant bubble: left indigo accent border (2px), elevated shadow
via --color-bubble-asst-shadow. Commands attention.
- Assistant role label: indigo (var(--color-primary)); user label muted.
- Removed old white-override content rules (no longer on dark bg).
- Thinking block: full border → left-only indigo accent bar (35% opacity),
removed inner top border.
ChatView.vue:
- Streaming bubble: same left accent + shadow as assistant bubbles.
- Streaming role label: indigo to match ChatMessage.
- Thinking block in streaming: same treatment as ChatMessage.
theme.css:
- Added --color-bubble-user-bg/border/text for light + dark.
- Added --color-bubble-asst-shadow for light + dark.

The role-user justify-content and message-bubble shape styles are scoped
to ChatMessage.vue and don't reach the inline queued bubbles. Add them
directly in ChatView and WorkspaceView: right-aligned row, 16px border
radius with 4px bottom-right corner, same padding and font as user bubbles.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Queued message bubbles now match user bubble style (primary colour,
right-aligned, opacity 0.45) in both ChatView and WorkspaceView
- Queue persisted to localStorage (fa_conv_queue_<id>); survives page
refresh, restored on fetchConversation, cleared on delete
- ToolCallCard confirm/deny: buttons now inline in header row; "Create
anyway" calls POST /api/notes or /api/tasks directly (no LLM round-trip);
shows "✓ Created" / "Skipped" state; removed chatStore dependency
- POST /api/notes and POST /api/tasks now accept project (name string) and
resolve to project_id server-side, matching tools.py behaviour
- Remove semantic similarity duplicate check from create_note and
create_task — 0.87 threshold was too aggressive for topically-related
notes; title-based exact/fuzzy checks are sufficient
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Dashboard chat: allow typing/sending during streaming (queued in store)
placeholder updates to "Type to queue…" during generation
- ChatView/WorkspaceView: replace queued chip with actual pending message
bubbles — light grey, dashed border, "Queued" badge above content; clear
button below the stack
- ToolCallCard: when tool returns requires_confirmation=True, show
"Similar content found" label (not "Error"), link to the similar note,
and "Create Anyway" / "Don't Create" buttons that auto-send the reply
- tools.py: fuzzy title match now returns requires_confirmation=True with
similar_note data instead of a hard error, so numbered-series notes
(Lore: X 0, Lore: X 1) can be created with one button click; semantic
match responses also include similar_note for the link

Chat store: when sendMessage() is called while streaming, push to a
per-conversation queue and return. When the stream ends the next queued
message fires automatically via setTimeout(0) to keep the call stack
clean. clearQueue() and queuedCount exposed for UI consumption.
Queue is cleaned up on conversation delete.
ChatView/WorkspaceView: remove the streaming guard from the local
sendMessage() functions and the :disabled on the textarea so users can
type and submit freely while streaming. Input placeholder changes to
"Type to queue next message…" during streaming. A small "⏳ N queued ×"
chip appears below the streaming bubble showing queue depth with a
cancel button.
DashboardChatInput: disable input, attach button, and send button
during streaming. The dashboard creates a fresh conversation per
message so in-conversation queuing doesn't apply — locking the input
is the correct UX here. Placeholder updates to "Generating response…"
during streaming.

Conversations are bucketed into: Today, Yesterday, This week, This month,
and older entries sub-grouped by calendar month (e.g. "February 2026").
Group labels are sticky so they stay visible while scrolling. Older
buckets use month+year sub-grouping rather than a single "Older" catch-all.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
stores/chat.ts:
- Replace 7 global stream refs with convStreams: Record<number, ConvStreamState>
- Each conversation tracks its own stream state; 7 names become computed getters
- Add isStreamingConv(id) public helper
- Increment message_count +2 immediately after POST 202 (not at done) so the
cleanup watcher never deletes a mid-generation conversation
- SSE reconnect retries now run for background conversations regardless of
which conv is currently viewed
- error toasts only shown when the erroring conv is currently viewed
- deleteConversation cleans up orphaned stream state
ChatView.vue:
- Remove invalid write to store.lastContextMeta (now a read-only computed)
- Add !store.isStreamingConv(newId) guard to watch(convId) fetch so navigating
back to a generating conversation shows accumulated content without stale refetch
- Add startNewConversation() helper; opening /chat with no ID auto-creates a
new conversation and redirects to it (on mount and on navigation)
- Deleting a conversation also auto-creates a new one
Also committing previous-session changes (keyboard nav + task routing):
- App.vue: e shortcut only on note-view (not task-view, which is removed)
- TaskCard.vue: route directly to /tasks/:id (viewer), remove View buttons
- router/index.ts: remove task-view route; /tasks/:id now maps to TaskEditorView
- TasksListView.vue: Enter key pushes to /tasks/:id

- Raise similarity threshold 0.30 → 0.45: only genuinely relevant notes
shown; loosely-related notes no longer pad the sidebar
- Increase max suggested notes 3 → 8 (zero added compute — threshold is
the real gate; the embedding call is fixed regardless of limit)
- semantic_search_notes now returns list[tuple[float, Note]] instead of
list[Note] so scores propagate through context_meta to the frontend
- Keyword fallback notes carry score=null (no cosine similarity available)
- ChatView sidebar shows % badge on each suggested note:
green ≥75%, amber 60–74%, muted <60%
Hovering reveals the raw score in a tooltip

Previously the paperclip button created a one-shot attachment that was
only included for the single message it was sent with, then discarded.
Now selecting a note via the picker calls includeNote() directly, so it
appears in the "In Context" sidebar and stays for the entire conversation
— consistent with clicking "+" on a suggested note.
Removed attachedNote ref, removeAttachedNote(), the pinned-note sidebar
block, and the contextNoteId/contextNoteTitle sendMessage arguments that
are no longer needed.

Ollama streams message.thinking tokens alongside message.content when
think=True — previously silently dropped. Now forwarded end-to-end.
Backend:
- llm.py: ChatChunk type gains "thinking" variant; stream_chat_with_tools
yields ChatChunk(type="thinking") for msg.thinking chunks before content
- generation_task.py: thinking chunks emit "thinking_chunk" SSE events
(not added to content_so_far — not persisted to DB)
Frontend:
- types/chat.ts: Message.thinking?: string (session-only, not from DB)
- stores/chat.ts: streamingThinking ref; thinking_chunk handler accumulates
chunks; on done, thinking carried into committed Message object then cleared
- ChatMessage.vue: collapsible <details class="thinking-block"> shown for
messages that have .thinking content (collapsed by default)
- ChatView.vue + ChatPanel.vue: live thinking block in streaming bubble —
open while only thinking is flowing, auto-collapses when content arrives;
typing indicator hidden while thinking is active
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Context sidebar + note title:
- ChatView: replace ephemeral context pills with a persistent right-panel sidebar;
auto-found notes accumulate across turns; attached note shows with pin icon;
× button excludes a note from future auto-search; hidden on mobile
- routes/chat.py: batch-fetch note titles via get_notes_by_ids() and inject
context_note_title into each message dict at conversation load time
- notes.py: add get_notes_by_ids() batch fetch helper
- types/chat.ts: add context_note_title field to Message interface
- stores/chat.ts: sendMessage accepts optional 5th arg contextNoteTitle,
included in optimistic user message
- ChatMessage.vue: context badge shows note title instead of 'Note #N'
Expanded LLM tool suite (all with intent router rules + ToolCallCard display):
- delete_note / delete_task: permanent delete with user confirmation (write tool),
type-safe (refuse to delete wrong type), clears note context cache on success
- get_note: fetch full note body by query (search_notes returns only 200-char preview)
- list_notes: browse notes by recency/keyword/tags with limit; notes only
- update_note: add tags + tag_mode (replace/add/remove) parameters
- search_notes: add optional type filter ("note" | "task")
- search_todos (CalDAV): keyword-filter todos, companion to list_todos
- caldav.py: add search_todos() built on top of list_todos()
- generation_task.py: register new tools in _WRITE_TOOLS, _TOOL_LABELS, _TOOL_ACTIONS
- llm.py: update available actions list and guidance in system prompt
- intent.py: routing rules for all new tools

stream_chat_with_tools now accepts a think parameter. run_generation
forwards it to Ollama. The message POST route reads think from the
request body. ChatView passes think=true so qwen3 uses chain-of-thought
reasoning for full conversations; the dashboard widget and ChatPanel
omit it, staying fast. Dashboard button updated to "Think it through
in Chat →" to signal the deeper capability.

Before executing any write tool (create/update/delete), the backend now
pauses with an asyncio.Future and emits a tool_pending SSE event. The
frontend displays a ToolConfirmCard with Accept and Decline buttons.
Clicking Accept resolves the Future and proceeds; Decline records a
declined tool_call chip and falls through to regular streaming. Typing
single-word yes/no responses (e.g. "yes", "cancel") also works as
confirmation. 120s timeout auto-declines if no response.

Bug fix:
- ChatView.vue onMounted now skips fetchConversation when the conversation
is already loaded in the store (same guard that the convId watcher uses).
This prevents duplicate assistant messages when navigating from the
dashboard inline chat to /chat/:id after streaming completes.
Generation timing:
- logging.py: add log_generation() — persists per-generation timing
breakdown to app_logs (category=usage, action=generation) including
model, total_ms, intent_ms, ttft_ms, generation_ms, and per-tool timings.
Queryable via existing admin log viewer.
- generation_task.py: collect wall-clock timestamps at every pipeline stage:
intent classification, per-tool execution (both intent-routed and native),
time-to-first-token (measured from generation start to first content chunk),
LLM streaming round duration. Logs via log_generation() and includes timing
in the SSE 'done' event payload.
- types/chat.ts: add GenerationTiming interface; add optional timing field
to Message.
- chat.ts: capture timing from done event and attach to assistant message.
- ChatMessage.vue: show timing footer on assistant messages with breakdown:
"⏱ 4.2s total · first token 0.8s · analyzed 0.3s · created event 0.4s
· generated 3.5s". Visible this session; persisted to app_logs for
cross-session benchmarking.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Streaming status transparency:
- generation_task.py emits 'status' SSE events at each pipeline stage:
"Analyzing your request..." before intent classification, tool label
before each tool execution, "Generating/Composing response..." before
each LLM streaming round
- chat.ts adds streamingStatus ref; cleared on first chunk or done/error;
includes fast 5s poll loop after warmModel() until model shows as loaded
- ChatView.vue shows pulsing dot + italic status label above content area;
falls back to blinking cursor once content arrives
- HomeView.vue shows status label in dashboard panel instead of '...'
Model load state indicator:
- /api/chat/status now queries /api/tags and /api/ps in parallel to
distinguish installed-but-cold vs loaded-in-VRAM model states
- New model status values: 'not_found' | 'cold' | 'loaded' (was 'ready')
- chatReady true for both 'cold' and 'loaded' (cold models still work)
- AppHeader shows 5 states: gray pulse (checking), red (Ollama down),
orange (not installed), yellow pulse (cold), green (loaded)
- Inline short label ("Cold", "Ready", "Offline", etc.) visible without
hovering; detailed tooltip on hover

- CalDAV integration: per-user calendar config, create/list/search events
via caldav library, LLM tools for calendar operations from chat
- LLM-suggested tags: new tag_suggestions service prompts LLM with existing
tags and note content to suggest 3-5 relevant tags; exposed via API
endpoints (suggest-tags, append-tag); integrated into editor views
(suggest button + clickable pills) and chat tool calls (pills in
ToolCallCard with one-click apply)
- Settings/model UI refinements, generation task improvements
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ollama tool/function calling integration allows the LLM to create tasks,
create notes, and search existing notes on behalf of the user during chat.
Multi-round tool loop (max 5 rounds) lets the model execute tools then
produce a natural language response. Tool results are persisted in a new
JSONB column on messages and rendered as compact cards with linked titles.
- Migration 0013: add tool_calls JSONB column to messages
- New services/tools.py: tool definitions + execute_tool dispatcher
- llm.py: ChatChunk dataclass, stream_chat_with_tools(), date in system prompt
- generation_task.py: multi-round tool call loop with SSE tool_call events
- Frontend: ToolCallRecord type, streamingToolCalls in store, ToolCallCard
component, rendering in ChatMessage and ChatView streaming bubble
