ask() already fails EMPTY_QUESTIONS before a request exists, so a
question/requested frame with zero items is host breakage; muxFrameSchema
now refuses it instead of letting an undefined first question reach the
composer (review r3635427102).
Two hardenings on the chain outlet branch:
A throwing chain selector runs before its entry's SlotErrorBoundary
exists, so uncontained it blacked out the whole owner region and skipped
the remaining chain. It now degrades to a decline: reported via
console.error with the registrant identity, later entries still tried,
all-null/all-throw passes land on the owner fallback.
The elected entry's boundary is now keyed by entry identity: an unkeyed
boundary that failed on entry A survived a re-election and kept a
healthy entry B blacked out until the outlet unmounted. The key remounts
the boundary fresh whenever the election changes.
ClientContext types ctx.slots as always present (inject-declared service);
the unnecessary-condition lint rule rejects the dead guard and its
fail-loud test premise. Load-order failure still surfaces loud through
the undeclared-slot registration path, covered by the remaining case.
The FIFO-conservation invariant fired on the loop-authored continuation
reason path: a continue-with-reason decision entered the steering FIFO
without an agent/inbox/enqueue, so its later dequeue/discard had no
matching enqueue. Emit the enqueue for that steer too, add a regression
test that mounts the invariant over a continue-with-reason turn and a
cancel, and hoist the duplicated inboxInfo helper into inbox.ts.
Found by fresh-eye review.
Replace send/steer/inject with one Agent.send primitive over the
(target × wakeup) matrix; followup/steer/inject become fixed-preset
alias methods on the now-abstract Agent class. Coalesce context/message
into user/message (injected context is a non-user source). Replace
agent/queued with agent/inbox/enqueue/dequeue/discard, add cancel
keepInbox, and add a FIFO-conservation invariant.
Restack the ask-user domain layer onto the carrier-chain architecture
branch. Conflict policy: runtime and ui-conversation take the
carrier-chain side (master sessions shape, dual-kind PendingCard,
'internal' envelope shell tests); the 'cancelled' wire code and its
semantics tests stay in apiproxy + ui-question (domain layer); the
smoke fixture keeps the nine-bundle success pass with the resident
question round over the carrier-chain first-describe shape.
Four rounds of structural rework on the conversation surface, converging
on one registration model for the whole client:
- Review fixes: open() leaves the inject factory (SessionsService owns
the semantic); ConversationService mounts via ctx.plugin(); the
bespoke view registry retires into the 'conversation.view' list slot.
- Ring alignment: createChatView factory retired (components get
everything through checkable shares at the register call site); the
hand-rolled t/i18n threading is deleted wholesale — a future
framework-level i18n will supply t as a standard prop keyed by slot
name, so no interim manual channel.
- Toolview dissolution: ToolViewRegistry / ToolViewResolver /
ToolViewOutlet / ctx.toolviews retire. Tool rows are entries of the
'conversation.chat.toolview' keyed slot (scope: session) declared by
the chat entry; ToolRowOwnerProps is the unified owner payload;
GenericToolCard becomes the call-site fallback; registrants are plain
plugins (inject ['slots','conversation'] as the load-order seam);
session-dimension dispatch moves into components (useSessions reads
parentId); trajectory/waterfall gain same-shape slots the day they
render tool rows (RendersCheck rejects empty declarations). Slot
names mirror the composition path (<domain>.<entry>.<hole>).
- Staging follows current: cell()/binding() are pure resolution
(render-safe); the constructor subscribes to the list store and
followCurrent opens the event window when the current session
changes — staging IS the open signal, business verbs are the timing,
React render/commit is decoupled from window lifecycle. A masked
current (projection gap) keeps the stage untouched so deferred
teardown semantics survive reconnects.
Agent Note: .agents/notes/implemented/architecture/
2026-07-23-toolview-dissolution.md (bilingual pair) records the
decision, the four rejected alternatives, and the accepted semantic
changes; the web client architecture note and packages/client/AGENTS.md
carry the current-state narrative.
Verified: typecheck 0, duplication 0 clones (478 files), full coverage
run 6190 passed with zero threshold errors, knip 0, doc-sync 24/24,
client aggregate tsc 0, render-count checks (one commit per chunk, zero
row re-renders under streaming) green.
