It mostly worked. The +part that failed, failed completely: a thirteen-item list became twenty-seven +entries, none of them ever ticked off, and the agent claimed twice to have ticked +them. This doc records what we found, what we decided, and what is still open, so +the plan survives the session that produced it. + +The headline is not the duplicates. It is that **the archivist invites a +conversation it cannot have**. It answered a pasted list with a title, a summary, +five extracted facts and six tags, which reads like a participant. Then: + + 07:31:39 Marge: Fenstertasche ist bestellt, Thema 1 kann abgehakt werden + 07:32:27 Marge: Welche Themen sind noch auf der Liste? + 07:34:50 Marge: * ?Welche Themen sind noch auf der Liste? + (nothing, three times) + 07:39:40 Marge: * Liste Bus Erweiterungen: 1. ... 10. + +She tried plain language, then the archivist's own documented `?` syntax, then +gave up and re-posted the whole list. Every duplicate downstream is blast radius +from that workaround. Re-posting is not a habit to design around; it is what +someone does when nothing answers. + +## Findings + +Each of these was verified in code or reproduced, not inferred from the report +that started the session. + +### The list path + +1. **The agent hallucinates completed actions.** Reproduced on the rig: loop + iteration 0, zero tool calls, and a reply claiming the list was updated. +2. **The hallucination was masked by a concurrent true write.** The list really + did change, via the archivist. Commit `chore(todos): homer added action items + to camping` is the curator's message, not the agent's. From the family's side + it looked like the agent worked. +3. **Extraction inverts done-markers.** The capture LLM understood `-> CHECK` + perfectly ("eine Mischung aus bereits geprüften Gegenständen") and then emitted + `- [ ] Fenstertasche prüfen`. It had the understanding and no way to express + it: `action_items` has no done state, so it bent the meaning to fit the shape. +4. **Extraction rewrites the family's words.** "Kühlbox" became "Kühlbox + mitbringen". `add_items` dedups on exact task text, so each re-extraction of + the same list added a fresh variant: "Alternative Dachbox" + recherchieren/prüfen/suchen/besorgen, four entries for one item. This is the + mechanical cause of 13 items becoming 27. **Verbatim is not politeness, it is + what makes idempotency possible.** +5. **Message edits re-capture.** There is no `m.replace` handling anywhere in the + archivist or microbot. An edit arrives as a new event with a `* ` body and is + filed as a fresh paste. Six re-posts became six notes and six extractions. +6. **One list per topic.** Marge asked for two, in words: "Es sollen zwei Listen + sein. Eine Liste mit Verbesserungen und eine Liste mit Dingen die zusätzlich + auf unsere Packliste sollen." +7. **The agent can describe the right answer and not perform it.** Asked to split + and dedupe, it produced the correct final document in chat, grouped and + categorised, then failed to execute it as twenty-odd string-matched CLI calls. + That gap is the argument for a different primitive, not a better prompt. + +### Ownership + +8. **`?` search is dead.** The room welcome promises `?`; `archivist.py` + only searches when `mentioned or is_documents`. A documented feature that + silently does nothing. +9. **Address-beats-ambient already exists in the code.** `_handle_correction` is + gated on `not mentioned`, with a comment saying deliberate address beats + ambient context. The archivist applies the rule to itself and has no idea the + agent exists. +10. **The signal is free.** `AGENT_NAME=Stacky` and `AGENT_BOT_ID=stacky-bot` are + already in the bot-runner's environment. +11. **But the matcher is not shared.** `name_trigger.py` lives in the agent + stacklet, and the agent container mounts no `lib/stack`. If the two ever + disagree about "was the agent addressed", either both act or neither does. +12. **The two answerers are not redundant.** The archivist's search is dual + (Paperless plus vault, with synthesis and deep-dive); the agent's + `memory_search` is vault-only, and `stack docs search` does not exist. +13. **`_on_text` has 17 decision points**, 7+ in the `elif` chain. + +### Structure + +14. **Capture sits in the wrong stacklet.** `capture_pipeline.py` writes no + Paperless document; `_publish` is classify plus mirror. Its one docs + dependency is `paperless.get_tags()` for the person roster, which is itself a + memory concern sourced from docs. And `git_mirror.py:57` does a hard-coded + `sys.path` traversal into `stacklets/memory/bot/cli/`. +15. **The agent reads the projection and writes the source.** `MEMORY_VAULT_DIR` + is `{data_dir}/memory/brain`, mounted `:ro`; writes land in + `{data_dir}/memory/vault` via `update_memory`. **A naive `write_file` bolted + onto the path the agent already reads would write into a generated + projection and lose it on the next sync.** +16. **No lock on the working copy.** The host CLI and the curator share one, with + no `status --porcelain` guard on the rebase/reset paths. + +### Smaller + +17. **Fetched interstitials get filed as knowledge.** A Google Maps link became + "Google Cookie- und Datenschutzhinweise", tagged `privacy-first`, `consent`. +18. **The agent reached for `stack up memory`** twice. `DOMAIN_ALLOW` refused it, + so the refusal is doing real work. +19. **Capture latency is 10 to 16 seconds**, not the 30 estimated from log + timestamps. Synchronous is fine; the async design was unnecessary. + +## Decisions taken + +**Capture is a memory capability.** `stack memory capture` ships in memory's +namespace (PR #60), handling pasted text, links and images through the +archivist's own pipeline. The handler still sits under `docs/bot` because the +pipeline does; it travels with the pipeline when that moves. + +**Reject unvalidated free-form rewrite; accept validated primitive writes.** The +first proposal was to let the agent rewrite `todos.md` freely. Rejected: it hands +whole-file overwrite to the model that just hallucinated, turning a visible +harmless failure ("nothing happened") into an invisible destructive one ("six of +twenty-five items quietly vanished"). What changes the calculus is **feedback**: +a validator that reports what the edit did, so loss is never silent. + +**Address decides who acts.** Exactly one component responds to a message. +Addressed to the agent, the agent owns it. Nobody addressed, the archivist's +ambient rules apply and its shape heuristics are fine precisely because nobody +asked for anything. + +**The archivist becomes ambient-only, eventually.** It watches, files, corrects, +and never answers. Not yet: its search reaches Paperless and the agent's does +not. Sequenced, not big-bang. + +## The direction: a markdown-native write layer + +Reads are already fs-native. The agent does `read_file("vault/homer/about.md")` +and it works, because models are trained on it and nobody had to design a +retrieval verb. Writes have no counterpart, and that asymmetry is what forced +domain verbs like `todo strike "" --by `. We did not choose verbs +because writes are special. We chose them because there was no write primitive. + +The proposal is the write analogue of what `/go` did for links: a stable logical +surface whose backing store is implementation detail. `update_memory` already +says this out loud, and the layer is the generalisation of it. + +**Shape.** + +- fs-like primitives (`write_file`, `apply_patch`) over one logical namespace. +- Routing under the hood: source versus projection, which bucket, which store. +- Registration per well-known page type: which schema applies, and what is + writable at all. It is a capability boundary as much as a validator. +- Validation is **semantic**, not syntactic. "Valid markdown with `- [ ]` lines" + is easy and worthless. The check that matters compares before and after: + items removed outright, items reworded, items added, structure violated. +- The tool result **is** the review: "Struck 7. Removed 6 you were not asked to + remove: Fenstertasche, Kochlöffel, ... Reworded 3. Confirm or revise." +- The semantic diff also writes the commit message, so intent falls out of + validation instead of being a string the caller invents. +- Both writers bind to the same schema. One place states "task text is the + family's words, verbatim", instead of it being a habit we hope survives. + +**What it subsumes.** Variadic `strike`, `--list`, `--done`, and sections-as-CLI +-grammar were all attempts to make a verb expressive enough to describe a +document edit. If the primitive is a document edit, none get built. That is the +reason to decide this before shipping them, not after. + +**What it does not fix.** An agent that claimed a strike without calling anything +can still claim an edit without calling anything. Validation only runs on writes +that happen. What changes is the odds: the transcript shows it *did* perform the +batched add and *did not* perform eight strikes, so collapsing the operation to +one call is the lever. It also does not remove the need for verbatim extraction +on the ambient path, where no agent is involved at all. + +## Open decisions + +**The write namespace.** Mirror the disk (`vault/family/camping/todos.md`) or +mirror `/go` (`topic/camping/todos`)? Mirroring `/go` is the more honest version +of the analogy, and bucket derivation is exactly the routing the layer should +own. But the agent's reads use disk-shaped paths today, so either the read side +moves too or two namespaces coexist for a while. + +**Concurrency semantics.** `update_memory` takes a transform (`doc -> doc`) +applied to a fresh read, which is read-modify-write. `write_file` implies +last-writer-wins: the agent reads, thinks for thirty seconds, the curator writes, +the agent writes, and the curator's change is gone silently. The fs world's +answer fits the model: hand out a revision on read, carry it on write, fail a +stale write with "this changed under you, here it is again". Same diagnostic +channel as schema validation. Worth doing regardless, given finding 16. + +**Whether the capture pipeline migration precedes or follows the write layer.** + +## Order of work + +1. **The list schema and validator, as a pure module.** No I/O. It is what the + write layer calls, what a CLI verb would call, and what the curator needs. It + is testable today against the real list from the transcript. First step + regardless of which way the open decisions go. +2. **Verbatim extraction.** The ambient path stops rewriting the family's words. + Independent of everything else and the single highest-value mechanical fix. +3. **The agent can actually change a list.** Behind the validator, whichever + primitive wins. +4. **The ownership rule.** Share `addressed_by_name`, mount `lib/stack` into the + agent, archivist skips its capture branches when the agent was addressed. +5. **The archivist stops promising what it cannot do.** Either `?` works or the + welcome stops offering it. +6. Then: `m.replace`, the interstitial capture, `stack docs search`, and the + capture-pipeline migration. diff --git a/lib/stack/forgejo.py b/lib/stack/forgejo.py index 97fdb8d3..3bf6b4ce 100644 --- a/lib/stack/forgejo.py +++ b/lib/stack/forgejo.py @@ -327,7 +327,7 @@ def put_file(self, owner: str, repo: str, path: str, *, def edit_file(self, owner: str, repo: str, path: str, transform: Callable[[str], str], *, - message: str, branch: str = "main", + message: str | Callable[[str, str], str], branch: str = "main", author_name: str | None = None, author_email: str | None = None) -> dict | None: """Read a file, run `transform` over its text, and commit the result. @@ -342,6 +342,14 @@ def edit_file(self, owner: str, repo: str, path: str, churn the repo with empty commits. `author_name`/`author_email` set the commit author, so the person who triggered the change owns it in the history, not the token's identity. + + `message` may be a callable taking the text before and after.
