The terminal-capture / signature-triage layer (colibri-glasspane terminal.rs
+ signatures.rs, driven by the daemon poll loop) had no guide coverage. Document
it: content-hash dedup history, edge-triggered signature alerts, per-OS
signature sets, the COLIBRI_TERMINAL_* / TELEGRAM_* config, and the
terminal-watch/unwatch/list/history/poll socket commands. Linked from the
operate index.

agent-harness.md listed only zot's end-to-end proof (zot_rpc_smoke.rs,
ignored, ZOT_BIN-gated). pi now has better default CI coverage via
pi_spawn_live.rs (unignored, runs every test run), plus the new
default_agent_args unit tests proving the autospawn argv contract.
Also moves the autospawn argv reference into its own bullet for clarity.
Two new decisions captured, one page corrected:
terminal.md — the terminal-capability decision. Why colibri-tui and the agents
it supervises need modified-key reporting (Tab vs Shift-Tab, n vs N, Enter),
why the choice fell on Kitty, the tmux extended-keys + csi-u passthrough for
the in-tmux workflow, raw-vs-tmux distinction, the SSH xterm-kitty terminfo
gotcha, and pi's identical requirement. The decision is about capability;
Kitty is the instance.
operator-attention.md — the shipped attention system as one decision. Attention
as a derived view over the state machine (not a sixth variant), the TUI
bar/jump/filter/row-highlight, and the #193 terminal-capture + signature-triage
+ edge-triggered alerts. Records the has_attention session-filter bug and fix.
Lists what is still open (outbound push, answer-from-dashboard).
glasspane.md — corrected drift. The real AgentState enum is {Idle, Working,
Blocked, Done, Error}; Stalled is a derived flag, not a variant (the page's
diagram omitted Blocked and listed Stalled as a variant). The "Usability
roadmap (TODO)" listed the attention half as not-yet-built; it shipped via
#191/#193, so those items move to operator-attention.md and the roadmap keeps
only the genuinely-unbuilt direction.
index.md — two table rows (also satisfies the orphan-page check).
Verified: prettier-clean on all 4 files; wiki-lint --strict clean (144 pass /
0 fail, up from 137); no dangling refs, no orphans, no resurrected names.
(Sam & Claude)
- §2: list colibri-mcp instead of colibri-test-agent (matches preflight at
build.sh:335 — test-agent is optional, gated by COLIBRI_STAGE_TEST_AGENT)
- §3: name the specific binaries preflight checks
- Notes: add Node.js (npm) to host toolchain requirements — build_and_stage_docs
needs node+npm, and the handoff should match REQUIREMENTS.md
Three reinforcing changes so the next agent's mother setup lands instead
of failing late:
- setup-mother.sh: fail-fast preflight for python3 (geodesic-dome-mcp is a
python3 script that otherwise installs fine and fails only when invoked).
- MOTHER-SETUP.md: new Prerequisites section — python3 on PATH, and the
COLIBRI_AUTOSPAWN_RPC_PROMPT boot decision (set = auto-spawn agent on
boot; unset = quiet token-free boot).
- FREEBSD-BUILD-LANE-HANDOFF.md: pointer to MOTHER-SETUP.md/setup-mother.sh
so the mother docs are discoverable from the build-lane entry point.

The handoff named v0.2.29 while clawdie-iso build.sh preflight defaulted
to v0.2.42. Pin to the current latest zot tag (v0.2.47) so the agent
builds the intended version and all references agree.

Remove genuinely-stale docs (decision/evidence now elsewhere):
- TRUSS-SPAWN-ANALYSIS.md — debug trace of a jail-spawn bug that was fixed
- PLAN-MOTHER-MCP-VAULT-KEYS.md — planned a vaultwarden-pubkey exchange; the
shipped mother MCP is seed-based (wiki/mother-hive + MOTHER-SETUP)
- PRIORITY-HANDOFF-ISO-SPAWN-COST.md — self-superseded by MULTI-AGENT-HOST-PLAN
Repointed referrers (README, AGENTS, FREEBSD-BUILD-LANE-HANDOFF, docs/README)
to MULTI-AGENT-HOST-PLAN. Fixed the wiki ADR note (the stale 'referenced in
stage-colibri-iso.sh' claim — those refs were already cleaned up).
KEPT the two design docs (COLIBRI-JAILED-AGENT-SPAWN-DESIGN,
COLIBRI-EXTERNAL-MCP-PROTOTYPE): on closer look they hold how-it-works detail
the wiki only summarizes + links, so folding would lose detail or bloat the wiki.
Gates: wiki-lint --strict (131) + markdown format clean.
Brings the wiki-expansion pages onto current main WITHOUT the stale baggage the
original feature/wiki-expansion branch carried (it predated the rename + date
PRs and would have reverted them). Cherry-picked only the 9 genuinely-new pages:
contracts, store-schema, external-mcp, operator-cli, tui, runtime-inventory,
skills-catalog, vault-provision, deployment. Added them to index.md.
Fixed on the way in: vault-provision referenced the pre-rename
VAULT-PROVISION-FIRST-PROOF → repointed to VAULT-PROVISION-RUNBOOK. (No US dates
in these pages.)
Gates: wiki-lint --strict clean (131 pass); markdown format clean.
Convert US/ISO prose dates (2026-06-21) to EU format (21.jun.2026) across colibri
docs + wiki. Left as-is (data, not prose): the captured JSON "time" timestamp in
AGENT-EVENTS-REFERENCE and the rustc/cargo version strings in
CLAWDIE-INSTALLER-HANDOFF — ISO is correct for machine timestamps/filenames.
Gates: wiki-lint --strict clean; markdown format clean.
- ZOT-RPC-TRANSCRIPT.md → AGENT-EVENTS-REFERENCE.md: neutral, per-harness event
reference (currently documents zot; pi uses pi --mode json). Avoids baking the
current default harness into a name — same lesson as the pi_* renames. Adds a
'Developer reference — operators can skip' header.
- VAULT-PROVISION-FIRST-PROOF.md → VAULT-PROVISION-RUNBOOK.md: it's a runbook;
'first-proof' was redundant.
- Updated referrers: spawner.rs, wiki/agent-harness.md, docs/README.md.
- wiki/naming-decisions.md: new 'Naming principle — harness-agnostic by default'
section (neutral concept → neutral name + configurable value; harness-specific
→ harness in the name, kept symmetric zot_/pi_).
- Fixed US/ISO prose dates → DD.mon.YYYY (21.jun.2026) per AGENTS.md; left the
literal JSON "time" timestamps in the captured transcript as-is (data).
Gates: wiki-lint --strict clean; markdown format clean.
- New docs/wiki/mother-hive.md — thin decisions page covering forced-command
SSH boundary, single-home-in-colibri, hive_nodes rationale, peer auth,
key-on-seed, and daemon-user design. Links to MOTHER-SETUP.md for setup
instructions; never duplicates them.
- Flip wiki-lint to --strict in ci-checks.sh — drift failures now block the
gate the same as clippy warnings. 42 PASS / 0 FAIL, clean since merge.
- New scripts/pre-push — runs ci-checks.sh on every git push to main. Install
once: ln -sf ../../scripts/pre-push .git/hooks/pre-push. Bypass only with
--no-verify. Closes the gap that let pi_binary reach main (gate existed but
nobody was forced through it).
- Updated AGENTS.md, quality-gates.md, and index.md to reflect all three.
Residue item #1: rename the pi-era `pi_type` field/param to `event_type` in
colibri-glasspane. It names the normalized event-type string (zot events map
onto the same taxonomy), so the harness-neutral name is correct. Internal only
— PiStreamUpdate is not serialized — so no wire impact.
Wiki ledger updated:
- pi_type → event_type added to Shipped (now enforced by wiki-lint).
- Residue items resolved and recorded under Structural decisions:
- FEATURE_COLIBRI is an internal build-time escape hatch, not a user-facing
flag — README clarified (clawdie-iso #130).
- clawdie-gui is the stable operator command; clawdie-startx retained as a
back-compat alias (both installed) — verified intentional, not drift.
- Known residue now down to the dangling ADR reference only.
Verified: ci-checks.sh green (fmt/clippy/test/markdown); wiki-lint --strict clean.
The 'resurrected old names' check was non-functional: it ran in a pipeline
subshell (fail/pass counts and --strict exit were lost), accumulated hit files
with literal \\n (so the per-file filter never matched), and hardcoded the old
names — already stale (missing usb_nodes, the rename that motivated this).
Planting hermes-agent + usb_nodes + COLIBRI_AUTOSPAWN_PI in a source file
passed clean under --strict.
Rewrite:
- Parse old names from the Shipped table of naming-decisions.md (self-updating;
no hardcoded list to rot).
- Loop in the main shell (read from a file) so counters and --strict propagate.
- xargs grep -nHF across the file list; filter legit contexts case-insensitively
(migration/rename/back-compat/alias/changelog) so the serde alias and the
setup-mother migration code don't false-positive.
- Move usb_nodes → hive_nodes from In-flight to Shipped (colibri #161 merged) so
it is now enforced.
Verified: clean run exits 0 (PASS 37); planting hermes-agent/usb_nodes/
COLIBRI_AUTOSPAWN_PI now FAILs and --strict exits 1. Fixed a serde-alias
false-positive (multi-line attribute). sh -n + markdown gate green.
Records the dedup decision + the cross-repo drift lesson (an injectable
node-register-mcp copy reached iso main). The kind of regression a lint pass
should catch.
Pilot step 1 of the Karpathy LLM-Wiki pattern, scoped to decision-dense areas:
an agent-maintained docs/wiki/ that records WHAT was decided and links to WHERE
it lives in code (code stays the source of truth; pages link, don't duplicate).
Pages:
- index.md — purpose, conventions (the 'schema'), lint workflow, catalog
- agent-harness — zot (agent) + Colibri (control plane); autospawn + RPC driver
- naming-decisions — ledger of harness-neutral/architecture renames (shipped,
in-flight, and known residue) — the drift tracker
- quality-gates — ci-checks.sh as the pre-merge gate; why drift reached main
Intent: make the 'lingering old decision' bookkeeping near-zero-cost and
lintable. Lint tool itself (advisory, flag-don't-rewrite) is the next pilot step.
Already records real open drift (e.g. the dangling ADR reference).
Markdown gate green.

Treat zot tool_use_start as the canonical tool_execution_start event and skip the later standalone tool_call so Glasspane does not double-fire tool starts. Update the real-key transcript notes to mark the double-fire issue resolved.\n\nValidation: ./scripts/check-format.sh; cargo fmt --check; cargo test -p colibri-glasspane; cargo test -p colibri-daemon glasspane -- --nocapture; cargo test -p colibri-daemon pi_spawn_path_produces_correct_glasspane_state -- --nocapture; cargo clippy -p colibri-glasspane -p colibri-daemon --all-targets -- -D warnings.
The raw stdout shows only tool_use_* + tool_progress + tool_result for the tool
cycle — no standalone {"type":"tool_call"} line. Downgrade the double-fire
note from a 'verified fact' to an open question, and mark the tool_call table
row as mapped-but-not-observed. Keeps the doc's 'observed, not inferred'
section honest. 14/15 types remain validated against real output.

Step 1 of colibri#143 complete. Complete tool call cycle captured
with valid DEEPSEEK_API_KEY: 61 lines, 2 turns, 1 bash tool call.
All 15 event types observed and mapped — no glasspane gaps.
Notable: tool_call and tool_use_start both map to tool_execution_start
(double-fire on real runs). Verified facts replace 'name matches source.'
Full raw transcript at /tmp/zot_transcript_full.txt (OSA).
Pre-existing gate offender (PR #141 slipped check-format.sh). Table-alignment
whitespace only, no content change. Restores a green ./scripts/check-format.sh.

The bare underscored names (tool_call, tool_use_*, text_delta, assistant_*)
were read as markdown emphasis and mangled by prettier; wrap them in code
spans so they render literally and stay prettier-immune.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Step 1 of colibri#143. Captured with zot rpc --provider deepseek.
Wire format: bare event objects (no JSON-RPC envelope), matches
glasspane's zot_event_type parser. All 6 observed types mapped.
Remaining types (tool_call, text_delta, etc.) need a live API key
but type names match zot source.
Verdict: glasspane parser is correct. Steps 2-3 unblocked.
Honor an optional pkg-list-jails path/URL argument, allow comments inside the agent-jail section, and apply Prettier to docs/README.md. This preserves the cross-repo gate for the jq addition.\n\nValidation: ./scripts/check-format.sh; cargo fmt --check; ./packaging/freebsd/port/check-cargo-crates.sh; ./packaging/freebsd/check-agent-jail-pkgs.sh /home/clawdie/ai/clawdie-iso/packages/pkg-list-jails.txt; sh -n packaging/freebsd/agent-jail-bootstrap.sh packaging/freebsd/mother-sync-hive-keys.sh; cargo check -p colibri-daemon -p colibri-client -p colibri-mcp.
Run the mandatory markdown format gate (check-format.sh / prettier@3) on the
doc — table column padding only, no content change. Makes the PR pass the gate.

Closes#135. The daemon stages per-spawn launch.sh/env.sh under the jail root;
the previous location /var/run/colibri-stage is root-owned, so the daemon
(running as clawdie) could not create per-spawn subdirs there — the second
jail-spawn EACCES, worked around in #134 by pre-creating the dir in
agent-jail-bootstrap.sh.
Move the default staging root to the daemon user's home,
/home/clawdie/.cache/colibri/stage, which clawdie owns by construction of the
jail account. create_dir_all now succeeds with no privileged pre-creation step,
and /home is persistent (unlike a tmpfs /var/run). The path is overridable via
COLIBRI_JAIL_STAGE_DIR, matching the daemon's other env-configurable paths.
- spawner.rs: const → staged_jail_run_dir() resolver; updated unit test.
- agent-jail-bootstrap.sh: drop the now-unnecessary install -d staging block
and DAEMON_USER var (the #134 workaround).
- docs: update jailed-spawn design + truss analysis to the new location.
clippy clean; spawner suite green (21 tests); sh -n clean; touched docs pass
the markdown gate.

Two root causes found via truss:
1. Bare command names (sudo, jexec) unresolved under daemon(8) PATH
→ fixed by resolve_program() in PR #131
2. Jail staging directory owned by root, unwritable by clawdie
→ fixed by chmod 777 <jail_root>/var/run/colibri-stage
Trace saved at /tmp/daemon.truss (1964 lines, successful spawn).

1. VAULT-PROVISION-FIRST-PROOF.md — refresh to the clean CLI now that the
three gaps are closed (#101/#102 via PR #107; #92 via PR #119):
- Step 3: raw SQLite INSERT →
- Step 4: raw JSON →
- Status header: mark all three closed; note the proof validates the
production deployment pattern (bare-metal Clawdie service runs this model)
- Chain-resolution section: document the #92/#119 containment guard
(canonicalize + assert under COLIBRI_JAIL_ROOT_BASE before any write)
- Follow-ups: record what landed vs. what's still open (no delete-tenant
verb; CI runner intermittently down)
2. Sweep markdown corruption introduced by #126 (merged while CI runner was
down, so the prettier gate never ran):
- AGENTS.md — prettier reflow
- COLIBRI-SKILLS-PLAN.md — Ownership table had a row split across two
lines ('consumer.' orphan + a duplicated Agents row); restored to 5
clean logical rows

PR #124 applied the positive-instruction-framing convention across docs but
was self-merged without the markdown format gate, leaving 6 files failing
prettier and a few structural defects. This repairs them:
- prettier --write on the 6 files that failed ./scripts/check-format.sh
(AGENTS.md, CLAWDIE-STUDIO-PROPOSAL, COLIBRI-SKILLS-PLAN, HEADROOM-SIDECAR,
MULTI-AGENT-HOST-PLAN, VAULT-PROVISION-FIRST-PROOF).
- COLIBRI-SKILLS-PLAN.md: fix a table row split across two lines by a stray
newline injected mid-cell.
- CLAWDIE-STUDIO-PROPOSAL.md: remove an orphaned "together." left dangling
by a reworded sentence; restore the editor-bridge (MCP) guardrail bullet
that was dropped, reworded positively; restore the guardrail list structure.
- CLAWDIE-STUDIO-PROPOSAL.md: plain-language the three implementation
guardrails (MCP foundation, opt-in/guarded tools, set-cost-mode scope).
./scripts/check-format.sh -> green.

Convert 'do not', 'cannot', 'never', 'avoid', 'don't' patterns across
AGENTS.md, README.md, and 11 docs/*.md files into positive,
actionable instructions that tell the reader what TO do.
Preserved: hard safety constraints (MUST NOT agent boundaries,
vault credential confinement intent) — these are enforceable
guardrails where the prohibition IS the instruction.
