In the interactive console, scrolling upward fetches older saved entries beyond that initial count. `--events` also shows turn events at startup. Agents must keep their normal `tt wait` receive process active to respond live. Broadcasts do not wake anyone; a directed message wakes an idle Claude Code or Codex session (see [Waking idle agents](#waking-idle-agents)). A message being stored in the room is not an acknowledgement that an agent has read it. Each console uses a separate `human::chat:` identity. Agents reply to the sender ID from the received message or a unique display name. Replies addressed to the console ring the terminal bell. The console is an observer: it cannot acquire the stick, receive a handoff, or make a lone agent eligible for an automatic claim. A running console does keep its room open: when the last agent leaves, the conversation stays up so agents can rejoin the same room, and an agent-less room is deleted once the last console closes. A crashed console (its process is gone) never keeps a room alive. Agents that see a console in the room finish with `tt standby` instead of `tt leave`, so a directed `@agent` message can wake them (natively in Claude Code and Codex, see [Waking idle agents](#waking-idle-agents)). An agent that has left can't receive messages until it rejoins. Opening and closing the console do not emit agent join/leave wakes. Message text is stripped of terminal escape sequences before display. diff --git a/src/cli/chat-view.ts b/src/cli/chat-view.ts index 1cd28c1..a53aa2e 100644 --- a/src/cli/chat-view.ts +++ b/src/cli/chat-view.ts @@ -276,6 +276,7 @@ interface Layout { export class ChatTranscript { private blocks: ChatBlock[] = []; private nextId = 1; + private earlierId = 0; private anchor: ChatAnchor = { follow: true }; private unreadCount = 0; private epoch = 0; @@ -299,6 +300,26 @@ export class ChatTranscript { return this.blocks.length; } + get oldestEventSeq(): number | undefined { + const block = this.blocks.find((candidate) => candidate.kind === "event"); + return block?.kind === "event" ? block.event.event_seq : undefined; + } + + needsEarlier(deltaRows: number, height: number, width: number, context: ChatFormatContext): boolean { + const layout = this.layout(width, context); + return deltaRows < 0 && this.topRow(layout, Math.max(0, layout.rows.length - height)) + deltaRows <= 0; + } + + prependEvents(events: RoomEvent[], height: number, width: number, context: ChatFormatContext): void { + if (events.length === 0) return; + const layout = this.layout(width, context); + this.anchor = this.anchorForRow(layout, this.topRow(layout, Math.max(0, layout.rows.length - height))); + const start = this.earlierId - events.length + 1; + this.blocks.unshift(...events.map((event, index): ChatBlock => ({ id: start + index, kind: "event", event }))); + this.earlierId -= events.length; + this.layoutCache = null; + } + // Call when names, colors, or event visibility change so blocks re-render. invalidate(): void { this.epoch += 1; @@ -351,6 +372,7 @@ export class ChatTranscript { scrollToBottom(): void { this.anchor = { follow: true }; this.unreadCount = 0; + this.trimLiveBuffer(); } // The rows to show in a viewport of `height`, bottom-aligned so a short @@ -371,6 +393,11 @@ export class ChatTranscript { private push(block: ChatBlock): void { this.blocks.push(block); + this.layoutCache = null; + if (this.anchor.follow) this.trimLiveBuffer(); + } + + private trimLiveBuffer(): void { this.layoutCache = null; while (this.blocks.length > this.maxBlocks) { const evicted = this.blocks.shift()!; diff --git a/src/cli/chat.ts b/src/cli/chat.ts index 08156fc..f2b8e94 100644 --- a/src/cli/chat.ts +++ b/src/cli/chat.ts @@ -144,6 +144,8 @@ export async function runChatSession( let lastPresenceRefresh = 0; let namesSignature = ""; let historyBefore: string | undefined; + let historyCursor = 0; + let historyExhausted = false; let previousConversationEvent: RoomEvent | undefined; let printedSection: string | undefined; let exitReason: string | null = null; @@ -324,6 +326,35 @@ export async function runChatSession( const render = (event: RoomEvent) => formatChatEvent(event, formatContext()); + const scrollHistory = (amount: number) => { + const { columns, rows } = dimensions(); + const draft = editor?.draft ?? { line: "", cursor: 0 }; + const height = chatTranscriptHeight({ draft, columns, rows, room_path: joined.canonical_path }); + if (!height) return; + if (transcript.following && transcript.oldestEventSeq !== undefined) { + historyCursor = transcript.oldestEventSeq; + historyExhausted = false; + } + if (amount < 0 && !historyExhausted && transcript.needsEarlier(amount, height, columns - 1, formatContext())) { + // Skip pages containing only hidden system events, but bound the work + // per keystroke.

Scrolling upward loads older saved events in pages and keeps the current view anchored; returning to the bottom trims the live buffer again. Mouse capture is off by default: drag to select text, double-click to select a word, and copy using your terminal's usual shortcut or menu. For pointer-based wheel scrolling, opt in with `tt chat --mouse`: over the conversation it scrolls history; over the prompt it navigates draft lines or prompt history; this captures mouse gestures, so native selection then requires your terminal's selection modifier (often Shift). `--no-mouse` explicitly restores the default and wins if both flags are supplied. +The default chat uses the terminal's normal scrollback.

The live buffer retains up to 2,000 blocks; browsing older history can grow it until returning to the bottom. Mouse capture remains opt-in with `--fullscreen --mouse`, which enables pointer-based wheel scrolling but may prevent native selection. `--no-mouse` wins over `--mouse`. Mouse flags have no effect in the default normal-screen mode. Fullscreen exit restores the previous terminal screen. History is split with Today, Yesterday, and date dividers.

Broadcasts do not wake anyone; a directed message wakes an idle Claude Code or Codex session (see [Waking idle agents](#waking-idle-agents)). A message being stored in the room is not an acknowledgement that an agent has read it. Each console uses a separate `human::chat:` identity. Agents reply to the sender ID from the received message or a unique display name. Replies addressed to the console ring the terminal bell. The console is an observer: it cannot acquire the stick, receive a handoff, or make a lone agent eligible for an automatic claim. A running console does keep its room open: when the last agent leaves, the conversation stays up so agents can rejoin the same room, and an agent-less room is deleted once the last console closes. A crashed console (its process is gone) never keeps a room alive. Agents that see a console in the room finish with `tt standby` instead of `tt leave`, so a directed `@agent` message can wake them (natively in Claude Code and Codex, see [Waking idle agents](#waking-idle-agents)). An agent that has left can't receive messages until it rejoins. Opening and closing the console do not emit agent join/leave wakes. Message text is stripped of terminal escape sequences before display. diff --git a/package-lock.json b/package-lock.json index ea1958a..df6d310 100644 --- a/package-lock.json +++ b/package-lock.json @@ -20,6 +20,7 @@ "devDependencies": { "@types/better-sqlite3": "^7.6.13", "@types/node": "^25.6.0", + "@xterm/headless": "^6.0.0", "tsx": "^4.21.0", "typescript": "^6.0.3", "vitest": "^4.1.5" @@ -1017,6 +1018,16 @@ "url": "https://opencollective.com/vitest" } }, + "node_modules/@xterm/headless": { + "version": "6.0.0", + "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/@xterm/headless/-/headless-6.0.0.tgz", + "integrity": "sha512-5Yj1QINYCyzrZtf8OFIHi47iQtI+0qYFPHmouEfG8dHNxbZ9Tb9YGSuLcsEwj9Z+OL75GJqPyJbyoFer80a2Hw==", + "dev": true, + "license": "MIT", + "workspaces": [ + "addons/*" + ] + }, "node_modules/ansi-regex": { "version": "6.3.0", "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/ansi-regex/-/ansi-regex-6.3.0.tgz", diff --git a/package.json b/package.json index 83eee56..c2540f9 100644 --- a/package.json +++ b/package.json @@ -34,6 +34,7 @@ "devDependencies": { "@types/better-sqlite3": "^7.6.13", "@types/node": "^25.6.0", + "@xterm/headless": "^6.0.0", "tsx": "^4.21.0", "typescript": "^6.0.3", "vitest": "^4.1.5" diff --git a/src/cli/chat-view.ts b/src/cli/chat-view.ts index a53aa2e..39d84bb 100644 --- a/src/cli/chat-view.ts +++ b/src/cli/chat-view.ts @@ -29,6 +29,7 @@ export interface ChatCommandInfo { export const CHAT_COMMANDS: ChatCommandInfo[] = [ { name: "quit", usage: "/quit", description: "leave the chat" }, { name: "who", usage: "/who", description: "members and who has the stick" }, + { name: "older", usage: "/older", description: "load an earlier page of saved messages" }, { name: "kick", usage: "/kick ", description: "remove a member; --force for a live agent" }, { name: "to", @@ -55,7 +56,7 @@ export const CHAT_COMMANDS: ChatCommandInfo[] = [ // Help is intentionally compact; detailed keyboard controls have their own // view so the command list remains readable at ordinary terminal heights. -export function formatChatHelp(width: number, color: boolean, keys = false): string { +export function formatChatHelp(width: number, color: boolean, keys = false, inline = false): string { const usable = Math.max(12, width); const accent = (text: string) => color ? `\u001b[1;38;5;147m${text}\u001b[0m` : text; const muted = (text: string) => color ? `\u001b[2m${text}\u001b[0m` : text; @@ -67,9 +68,14 @@ export function formatChatHelp(width: number, color: boolean, keys = false): str ["Alt+Enter", "Insert a new line"], ["Esc", "Dismiss suggestions; press again to clear"], ["Ctrl+C", "Clear the draft"], - ["PgUp / PgDn", "Scroll the conversation"], - ["Shift+↑ / ↓", "Scroll a few lines (wheel with --mouse)"], - ["Ctrl+End", "Return to the latest messages"], + ...(inline ?

Alt+Enter (or Shift+Enter where supported) adds a new line. With suggestions closed, Up/Down move through multiline drafts or recall single-line prompt history; Ctrl+P/Ctrl+N also recall prompts. Pasted multiline text stays in the draft until Enter. The conversation remains in terminal scrollback after exit. Resizing the window reflows the live panel in place. Shrinking both width and height at once (for example 80x24 to 20x8) can leave one copy of the old panel in the scrollback above the live one; it scrolls away and does not affect the conversation or your draft. diff --git a/src/cli/chat-view.ts b/src/cli/chat-view.ts index 39d84bb..8109e3c 100644 --- a/src/cli/chat-view.ts +++ b/src/cli/chat-view.ts @@ -735,17 +735,17 @@ export interface ChatFrame { cursor: { row: number; col: number }; } -// A bounded live panel beneath ordinary terminal output.

In Claude Code the prompt steers the active turn at its next tool boundary; Codex queues it for after the current turn. A room interrupt targets only the current owner; the chat shortcut `!@everyone` explicitly targets every agent. `interrupt_status` reports `injected` or `unsupported`, not proof the agent acted on it. Unsent urgent deliveries expire after 60 seconds; their room messages remain readable.

Each directed interrupt forces a native event envelope (or a body-free fallback prompt) even with a live listener or an earlier unread wake. In Claude Code the prompt steers the active turn at its next tool boundary; Codex queues it for after the current turn. A room interrupt targets only the current owner; the chat shortcut `!@everyone` explicitly targets every agent. `interrupt_status` reports `injected` or `unsupported`, not proof the agent acted on it. Unsent urgent deliveries expire after 60 seconds; their room messages remain readable. Treat `unreachable` as a signal to keep working rather than automatically retrying the interrupt. Messages from a `human:*` sender usually come from the operator, often typing in `tt chat`. Treat them as operator instructions. Reply with `tt msg send "..." --json` so the answer shows up in the operator console. A chat console is an observer, not a turn-taking peer. For a live chat exercise, keep the same single wait receive process active and surface its output; having a subprocess handle alone does not deliver messages into the model. Use `tt wait --park --json` for a discussion that must remain read-only, after releasing any active turn. Broadcasts do not wake idle agents; directed messages do. diff --git a/src/cli/registry.ts b/src/cli/registry.ts index 6bd9371..49f7446 100644 --- a/src/cli/registry.ts +++ b/src/cli/registry.ts @@ -1,3 +1,5 @@ +import { deriveCliIdentity } from "./identity.js"; +import { printResult } from "./output.js"; import { runGuardCommand } from "./guardian.js"; import { handleChatCommand } from "./chat.js"; import { runClaudeStopHookCommand } from "./claude-stop-hook.js"; @@ -49,6 +51,17 @@ export interface CommandEntry { } export const COMMAND_REGISTRY: CommandEntry[] = [ + { + name: "ack", needsRuntime: true, startupMaintenance: false, internal: false, + usage: "tt ack [--json]", + description: "Acknowledge native event delivery without claiming the stick.", + handler: ({ parsed, runtime }) => { + const token = parsed.positionals[0]; + if (!token) throw new Error("Usage: tt ack [--json]"); + const result = runtime!.commands.acknowledgeNativeDelivery(deriveCliIdentity(parsed), token); + printResult(parsed, result, () => result.status); + } + }, { name: "guard", needsRuntime: false, diff --git a/src/commands.ts b/src/commands.ts index 66a3262..3fbf1cc 100644 --- a/src/commands.ts +++ b/src/commands.ts @@ -365,6 +365,12 @@ export class TalkingStickCommands { return this.service.getRoomState(input); } + acknowledgeNativeDelivery(identity: DerivedIdentity, token: string) { + return this.service.acknowledgeNativeDelivery({ agent_id: identity.agent_id, token, + harness_session_id: identity.process_metadata.harness_session_id, + host_id: identity.process_metadata.harness_host_id ?? identity.process_metadata.host_id }); + } + getRoomEvents(input: GetRoomEventsInput): RoomEvent[] { return this.service.getRoomEvents(input); } diff --git a/src/db.ts b/src/db.ts index 8eca1a6..1c95417 100644 --- a/src/db.ts +++ b/src/db.ts @@ -307,6 +307,37 @@ const migrations: Migration[] = [ FOREIGN KEY (event_seq) REFERENCES room_events(event_seq) ON DELETE CASCADE ); ` + }, + { + id: 17, + name: "native_event_acceptance", + up: ` + CREATE TABLE native_event_receipts ( + room_id TEXT NOT NULL, + agent_id TEXT NOT NULL, + event_seq INTEGER NOT NULL, + consumed_at TEXT, + acknowledged_at TEXT, + PRIMARY KEY (room_id, agent_id, event_seq), + FOREIGN KEY (room_id, agent_id) REFERENCES room_members(room_id, agent_id) ON DELETE CASCADE, + FOREIGN KEY (event_seq) REFERENCES room_events(event_seq) ON DELETE CASCADE + ); + CREATE TABLE native_delivery_batches ( + token TEXT PRIMARY KEY, + room_id TEXT NOT NULL, + agent_id TEXT NOT NULL, + harness_session_id TEXT NOT NULL, + host_id TEXT NOT NULL, + event_seqs_json TEXT NOT NULL, + acknowledged_at TEXT, + FOREIGN KEY (room_id, agent_id) REFERENCES room_members(room_id, agent_id) ON DELETE CASCADE + ); + ` + }, + { + id: 18, + name: "native_batch_retry_age", + up: `ALTER TABLE member_wake_endpoints ADD COLUMN batch_started_at TEXT;` } ]; diff --git a/src/instructions.ts b/src/instructions.ts index f21c239..d8e2926 100644 --- a/src/instructions.ts +++ b/src/instructions.ts @@ -72,7 +72,7 @@ export const DEFAULT_INSTRUCTIONS_MARKDOWN = `# Talking Stick collaboration inst Coordinate until the shared task is complete.

Read both spellings, install a dedicated ~/.grok/hooks/talking-stick-stop.json carrying the same command so Grok's identical-handler dedup collapses it with the imported Claude entry, and block only an ordinary turn end: a session teardown and a subagent stop are observed, never blocked. GROK_AGENT=1 now marks a Grok session and carries GROK_SESSION_ID as its anchor, with the recorded hook log as fallback. GROK_SESSION_ID alone stays inert so an inherited value cannot masquerade as a harness.

Oversized events remain available through `tt wait`; unacknowledged hook deliveries may retry after one minute at the next hook. Hooks never auto-join a room. Run `/hooks` to reload an existing Grok session after installation. This is active-session delivery, not a native idle wake transport; idle sessions still need a live `tt wait` or verified cmux wake. + Grok Build also installs a stop guard at `~/.grok/hooks/talking-stick-stop.json`, which reminds a session that still holds the turn to hand off before stopping. Grok loads `~/.claude/settings.json` hooks too, so the guard ships the byte-identical command and Grok's identical-handler deduplication collapses the pair into one run.

A room message from a human sender now reaches every agent that is a member when it is sent, standby included, as one event with a receipt per recipient; later joiners do not inherit it. Agents' room messages still wake nobody so replies cannot loop, and an agent's room interrupt still reaches only the owner. Chat sends a plain message or @everyone once to the room, and several @names share one event that lists them instead of one copy per agent. Each recipient's status is reported as soon as its own wake settles, and labels say only what is known: unreachable requires a definite transport failure. Native envelopes become attributed plain text: a header with the room path and ack command, a #seq sender -> you|room line per event with every content line indented, and a closing boundary. A short chat line drops from about 600 characters to about 190. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 + README.md | 4 +- skills/talking-stick/SKILL.md | 6 +- src/cli/chat-format.ts | 8 +- src/cli/chat.ts | 115 ++++++++++++++-------- src/commands.ts | 9 +- src/index.ts | 1 + src/instructions.ts | 2 +- src/native-wake.ts | 48 +++++++--- src/service.ts | 133 ++++++++++++++++++-------- src/types.ts | 17 ++++ tests/chat.test.ts | 66 +++++++++---- tests/grok-inbox-hook.test.ts | 24 ++++- tests/native-wake.test.ts | 175 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 14 files changed, 468 insertions(+), 143 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index bd3887a..3dfd14e 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -11,6 +11,9 @@ changes will be called out under **Breaking changes**. ## Unreleased +- An operator's room message now reaches every agent in the room, including agents on standby, as a single event.

Fullscreen mode updates the message in place; normal-screen mode updates receipt rows still on screen. Saved history reads durable receipts; already-scrolled native terminal history cannot be rewritten. Plain non-terminal output appends status changes. `delivery_state` is `queued` when the transport submitted the prompt (the socket write flushed, or `codex queue` exited 0; Claude may still hold or refuse it per its inbound settings), `ambiguous` (shown as `wake unconfirmed`) when a timeout or cut-off write left it unknown, and `failed` when every eligible transport definitely failed. A definite failure releases the batch so a later sender can retry. Neither harness confirms that a turn started. - `tt standby` reports `wake_transports`, such as `["claude_inbox"]`, and `can_self_wake`.

Your room messages wake idle Claude Code and Codex sessions (see [Waking idle agents](#waking-idle-agents)); agents' room messages wake nobody. A message being stored in the room is not an acknowledgement that an agent has read it. Each console uses a separate `human::chat:` identity. Agents reply to the sender ID from the received message or a unique display name. Replies addressed to the console ring the terminal bell. The console is an observer: it cannot acquire the stick, receive a handoff, or make a lone agent eligible for an automatic claim. A running console does keep its room open: when the last agent leaves, the conversation stays up so agents can rejoin the same room, and an agent-less room is deleted once the last console closes. A crashed console (its process is gone) never keeps a room alive. Agents that see a console in the room finish with `tt standby` instead of `tt leave`, so a directed `@agent` message can wake them (natively in Claude Code and Codex, see [Waking idle agents](#waking-idle-agents)). An agent that has left can't receive messages until it rejoins. Opening and closing the console do not emit agent join/leave wakes.

The recipient answers from the supplied content and runs `tt ack --json` to acknowledge the exact events, without fetching them again or claiming a turn.

Acknowledged native events are excluded from later self waits, while audit/history views retain them. The token is bound to the receiving member, harness session and host.

Talking Stick sends only the short wake prompt; the documented inbox protocol does not offer a way to suppress that wrapper. The sender returned by `tt wait` identifies the actual room author. - Normal messages wake an agent once per unread batch. More messages join that batch until the agent's wait has read past them or the agent explicitly enters standby again. A new standby rearms future wakes without marking any messages read; previously submitted wakes are not replayed. Each explicit interrupt instead gets its own durable delivery reservation. A room message from an operator (a `human:*` sender) reaches every agent that is a member when it is sent, standby included, as one event; members who join later do not receive it. A room message from an agent wakes nobody, so agents cannot set off loops of replies. An operator's room `--interrupt` interrupts every agent; an agent's room `--interrupt` reaches only the current owner. - Order: a live receiver first, then the native transport, then cmux where eligible.

The other states are `up next` (reserved for the next turn), `standby`, `away` (inactive with no confirmation that its process is still running), `active` (ran a `tt` command within the last minute), and `idle 3m` (time since its last `tt` command, including a live agent that is just quiet). Agents whose process has ended are left out of the footer; `/who` lists them as ended, and after an hour the room removes them. The stick holder is listed first.

An operator's chat now reaches every agent in the room, the message content itself is delivered into the agent's context (no `tt wait` needed), and delivery is shown per recipient in the chat. `/invite` for agents that have not joined, and a guarded herdr wake for idle Grok sessions, are not included. -- An operator's room message now reaches every agent in the room, including agents on standby, as a single event. Chat sends a plain message or `@everyone` once to the room instead of once per agent, and several `@names` share one message that lists them. The message header lists each recipient with a one-character mark: `…` pending, `✓` delivered, `!` failed. Room messages from agents still wake nobody. -- Native event envelopes are compact attributed text instead of JSON: a one-line header with the room path and ack command, a `#seq sender → you|room` line per event with its content indented beneath, and a closing `[/talking-stick]` line. A two-line chat message now costs about 190 characters instead of about 600. -- Chat delivery labels say only what is known: `unreachable` needs a definite transport failure; an agent with no wake path yet shows `not acknowledged yet`. -- `tt chat` falls back to plain line mode under `TERM=dumb`. Node's readline disables line editing there even in terminal mode, so arrows and Ctrl+A were submitted as literal text, and a dumb terminal cannot draw the panel's cursor movement. -- Restore the room bar, live agent status, and visible suggestions in normal-screen chat while preserving native scrollback and selection. Add `/older` for saved history, preserve draft cursors across messages and resize, and restore terminal modes on exit. +### Added -- Grok Build gets the stop guard. `tt install grok` writes `~/.grok/hooks/talking-stick-stop.json` beside the existing lifecycle hook, so a Grok session that still holds the turn is reminded to hand off before it stops. The guard reads both Claude's snake_case and Grok's camelCase hook payloads, blocks only an ordinary turn end, and never blocks a session teardown or a subagent stop. `GROK_AGENT=1` now identifies a Grok session and carries `GROK_SESSION_ID` as its session anchor; `GROK_SESSION_ID` alone is still not a marker. Active Grok sessions now receive directed room events through PostToolUse, PostToolUseFailure, and normal Stop hooks, with exact-event acknowledgement, bounded envelopes, and pull recovery. Idle wake still requires cmux; a live `tt wait` also remains supported. +- **Native event delivery.** Claude Code and Codex wakes carry the room events themselves, so an agent answers without running `tt wait`. `tt ack --json` durably acknowledges exactly those events without fetching them again or claiming the turn. A batch left unacknowledged for five minutes is retried when new directed work arrives; quiet rooms never retry on a timer. Oversized payloads and cmux keep the body-free pull notification. +- **Operator room messages reach every agent.** A room message from a `human:*` sender goes to every agent that is a member when it is sent, standby included, as one event; later joiners do not inherit it. Room messages from agents still wake nobody, and an agent's room interrupt still reaches only the owner. +- **Steering for busy agents.** Operator messages reach a busy Claude Code session at its next tool boundary without cancelling the running tool. Agent-to-agent messages keep default delivery. Codex receives messages after its current turn. +- **Grok Build integration.** `tt install grok` adds a stop guard (`~/.grok/hooks/talking-stick-stop.json`) and active-turn delivery hooks (`~/.grok/hooks/talking-stick-inbox.json`), so a working Grok session receives room events after a tool call or at a normal turn end and acknowledges them like Claude and Codex. `GROK_AGENT=1` now identifies a Grok session and carries `GROK_SESSION_ID` as its session anchor. Idle Grok sessions still need a live `tt wait` or cmux. +- **Chat scopes.** A plain chat line or `@everyone` is one room message; `@name` narrows it; several `@names` share one message that lists them. Named scopes are honoured: agents not named do not see the message in their own wait. +- **Delivery marks in chat.** Each message header lists its recipients with a one-character mark: `…` not delivered yet, `✓` delivered, `!` failed. Marks update in place while the message is on screen and are restored from durable receipts in saved history. +- **Saved history.** Fullscreen scrolling fetches earlier room events; normal-screen chat offers `/older`. ### Changed -- Native Claude/Codex wakes carry attributed room events directly. `tt ack` durably acknowledges exact events without fetching or claiming ownership; oversized payloads and cmux retain pull notifications. - -- Attach delivery receipts to each outgoing transcript message instead of the footer. Update visible receipt rows in place, restore durable receipts in saved history, and remove unused suggestion space from the inline prompt. Resize redraws the visible transcript without clearing native scrollback. - -- Place the room path in a compact ruled bar immediately above the prompt, separated from chat. Suggestion space stays above the bar instead of separating the room label from the prompt. - -- **Chat renders inline by default.** The console prints into the terminal's normal screen with a room bar, multiline composer, suggestions, and live status, so the terminal or multiplexer keeps scrollback, wheel scrolling, selection, and copy — the same behavior as other CLI agents. `tt chat --fullscreen` keeps the pinned layout with its own scrolling keys and suggestion menus. +- **Compact envelopes.** Native envelopes are attributed plain text instead of JSON: a short header with the room path and ack command, a `#seq sender → you|room` line per event with its content indented, and a closing boundary. A short chat message costs about 190 characters instead of about 600. +- **Chat renders inline by default**, in the terminal's normal screen, so the terminal or multiplexer keeps scrollback, wheel scrolling, selection, and copy. `tt chat --fullscreen` keeps the pinned layout. +- The room path sits in a compact bar directly above the prompt, and the prompt no longer reserves empty suggestion rows. ### Fixed -- Chat shows “waiting for resume” when a recipient is in manual standby without a usable wake transport, instead of implying the message has been queued into its harness. - -- Keep chat open and preserve the draft during transient SQLite contention while polling room state. Probe stale-member liveness outside cleanup write transactions, revalidate concurrent presence changes before deleting, and bound process-inspection time. - -- **Older saved chat history.** Fullscreen scrolling fetches earlier room events beyond the startup history window, preserving the visible message and live receive cursor. Normal-screen chat offers `/older` to print earlier pages without replacing native scrollback. +- A stale wake batch could silently swallow every later message to an agent; new directed work now retries it. +- Resizing the chat redraws the visible screen instead of guessing the old panel position, so no stale copy of the draft is left behind, and never clears native scrollback. +- `tt chat` falls back to plain line mode under `TERM=dumb`, where Node's readline cannot edit a draft. +- The per-turn guardian no longer renames an agent to its full id while it holds the stick, which broke short mentions such as `@claude`. +- Chat stays open and keeps the draft during transient SQLite contention. +- Envelope handoffs render plain string artifacts as paths instead of `undefined`, and chat consoles no longer accumulate native receipts they never consume. ## [0.18.3] — 2026-09-16 diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 479cc27..b47e8a6 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -228,7 +228,7 @@ When a directed message, assignment, pass, or pending handoff targets an agent t - Claude Code wraps inbox prompts in its own "another Claude session" preamble and permission guidance, even when an operator sent the room message.

A batch left unacknowledged for five minutes is retried when new directed work arrives; quiet rooms never retry on a timer. Oversized payloads and cmux keep the body-free pull notification. +- **Operator room messages reach every agent.** A room message from a `human:*` sender goes to every agent that is a member when it is sent, standby included, as one event; later joiners do not inherit it. Room messages from agents still wake nobody, and an agent's room interrupt still reaches only the owner. +- **Steering for busy agents.** Operator messages reach a busy Claude Code session at its next tool boundary without cancelling the running tool. Agent-to-agent messages keep default delivery. Codex receives messages after its current turn. +- **Grok Build integration.** `tt install grok` adds a stop guard (`~/.grok/hooks/talking-stick-stop.json`) and active-turn delivery hooks (`~/.grok/hooks/talking-stick-inbox.json`), so a working Grok session receives room events after a tool call or at a normal turn end and acknowledges them like Claude and Codex. `GROK_AGENT=1` now identifies a Grok session and carries `GROK_SESSION_ID` as its session anchor. Idle Grok sessions still need a live `tt wait` or cmux. +- **Chat scopes.** A plain chat line or `@everyone` is one room message; `@name` narrows it; several `@names` share one message that lists them. Named scopes are honoured: agents not named do not see the message in their own wait. +- **Delivery marks in chat.** Each message header lists its recipients with a one-character mark: `…` not delivered yet, `✓` delivered, `!` failed. Marks update in place while the message is on screen and are restored from durable receipts in saved history. +- **Saved history.** Fullscreen scrolling fetches earlier room events; normal-screen chat offers `/older`. + +## Changed + +- **Compact envelopes.** Native envelopes are attributed plain text instead of JSON: a short header with the room path and ack command, a `#seq sender → you|room` line per event with its content indented, and a closing boundary.

They're tied to the harness session and host, and removed on leave, kick, or session change. The Claude token and socket path are stored owner-only and never appear in state, health, events, or errors. - Native wakes carry complete attributed events in a bounded plain-text envelope.

Talking Stick sends only the envelope itself; the documented inbox protocol does not offer a way to suppress that wrapper, and the installed binary builds it from a fixed string with no setting to disable it. The sender returned by `tt wait` identifies the actual room author. - Normal messages wake an agent once per unread batch. More messages join that batch until the agent's wait has read past them or the agent explicitly enters standby again. A new standby rearms future wakes without marking any messages read; previously submitted wakes are not replayed. Each explicit interrupt instead gets its own durable delivery reservation. A room message from an operator (a `human:*` sender) reaches every agent that is a member when it is sent, standby included, as one event; members who join later do not receive it. A room message from an agent wakes nobody, so agents cannot set off loops of replies. An operator's room `--interrupt` interrupts every agent; an agent's room `--interrupt` reaches only the current owner. - Order: a live receiver first, then the native transport, then cmux where eligible. The next transport is tried only after a definite failure, such as a missing socket or an unknown Codex thread. A timeout or unconfirmed write stops there, so an agent is never woken twice. - `tt msg send` reports `delivery_status` plus `delivery_transport` and `delivery_state`. `tt chat` marks each recipient in the header of your message, such as `you → claude ✓, codex …`, and swaps `…` for `✓` once that recipient acknowledges the native envelope or its `tt wait` returns the message (delivery to its receiver, not proof a model read it). Fullscreen mode updates the header in place; normal-screen mode updates headers still on screen. Saved history reads durable receipts; already-scrolled native terminal history cannot be rewritten. Plain non-terminal output appends one status line per recipient instead. `delivery_state` is `queued` when the transport submitted the prompt (the socket write flushed, or `codex queue` exited 0; Claude may still hold or refuse it per its inbound settings), `ambiguous` when a timeout or cut-off write left it unknown, and `failed` when every eligible transport definitely failed. In chat, only `failed` shows `!`; every other undelivered state shows `…`. A definite failure releases the batch so a later sender can retry. Neither harness confirms that a turn started. - `tt standby` reports `wake_transports`, such as `["claude_inbox"]`, and `can_self_wake`. Its `transport` field names only the cmux-or-manual fallback, so `transport: manual` with `can_self_wake: true` means native wake is active. - `tt health` shows a `Wake:` line with the last delivery status and a fixed error code. -- A message coalesced behind an earlier wake reports `delivery_status: pending` without reusing that wake's `delivery_state`. Chat shows `queued` for the durable message; this does not imply a new wake was submitted. +- A message coalesced behind an earlier wake reports `delivery_status: pending` without reusing that wake's `delivery_state`. Chat keeps that recipient's mark at `…`; this does not imply a new wake was submitted. - Limits: same machine and OS user only. Claude's `crossSessionInbound: refuse` setting drops the prompt silently. A Codex thread that isn't loaded or was interrupted keeps the queued message but doesn't start a turn. Grok, Gemini, OpenCode, and Antigravity wake only through cmux for now. - API users: service writes queue wakes, and `TalkingStickCommands.flushWakes()` or `sendMessageAndWake()` delivers them asynchronously.
