In plain language

Three things a bot does badly today, fixed:

  1. A huge tool result no longer eats the conversation. A computer_exec that prints a megabyte used to land in the context window whole. Now the bot gets the first 2 KB plus a note saying how much was dropped and where the rest is — written to a file it can read back with its own file tools if it actually needs it.

  2. A bot that hits a Cloudflare wall now says so. It used to screenshot the "Just a moment..." page, not understand it, and retry — burning the turn. Now it recognises the challenge, stops, and asks you to get past it yourself, through the same Computer-panel plea and takeover notification your bots already use.

  3. You can see what a bot has been doing. The Inspector's Events and Raw lenses are per-thread, so a bot working across several conversations can't be seen whole in either. There's now an Activity lens: one per-bot list of every tool call it has made, anywhere.

Nothing here changes a decision the harness makes — no new approvals, no new auto-approvals, no setting to turn on. It bounds, detects, and records.

What changed

Area Change
server/tool-output.ts (new) boundToolText — over 20 KB, keep a 2 KB head and append a truncation note. With a bot id, the full text spills to <workspace>/.maus/tool-output/<uuid>.txt (0600, capped at 1 MB) and the note names the path. A failed spill falls back to the note rather than failing the tool call.
computer-proxy, agents-proxy, phone-proxy Each bounds its text results at the single place it builds them, so no individual tool has to remember to. Image content is untouched.
server/bot-block.ts (new) 19 signatures over {url, title}: Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, Imperva, AWS WAF, Arkose, Vercel checkpoint, LinkedIn checkpoint, Google /sorry, reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha. high stops the agent; low is ignored on purpose — a reCAPTCHA frame is usually embedded in a page the agent can still use.
computer-proxy navigation open_url, wait_for_navigation and the semantic snapshot classify their verified targets. A high-confidence hit replaces the result with an instruction to stop, and asks for hands via the existing control.requestHelp — rate-limited to one ask per host per 10 minutes.
server/action-audit.ts (new) Per-bot ~/.openmausbot/audit/<botId>.jsonl. A projection of events the bus already carries, not new capture. 0600, through redactSecrets, rotated at 4 MB, with a per-bot write queue (same discipline as decision-log.ts — without it, concurrent appends land out of order).
GET /api/bots/:id/audit 404 on an unknown bot, 400 on a bad limit, newest-first rows.
InspectorPanel.tsx Third lens, "activity". Loads on switch, refreshes when the bot settles.

Two things worth a reviewer's eye

integrations.computer gains an optional botId. computer-proxy and phone-proxy are separate processes and had no bot identity, which the spill needs. Drivers pass the object straight through and are untouched — this does not change the one-file driver promise.

The takeover ask reuses request_help rather than a new channel. The proxy has no route back to the harness except the control client, and request_help already surfaces a plea in the Computer panel and fires the takeover notification. Wiring a second path would have meant double-notifying.

Testing

pnpm test green end to end — 166 files, 1738 tests, plus the broker, updater, desktop-viewer and packaged-server suites. pnpm typecheck clean. Lint counts per touched file are identical to origin/main (the repo's lint baseline is already red, so I compared per file rather than trusting the exit code).

New coverage: 21 tests for the signature table (including the negative cases that matter — a blog post about CAPTCHAs, a lookalike host, an unparseable URL), 5 for output bounding and spill, 10 for the ledger, and 3 contract tests driving the real proxy against a fake box.

Manually exercised in the dev app against a live fleet.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change implements Round 1 Grok parity upgrades for bounded tool output, anti-bot page handling, and per-bot action auditing. It adds browser takeover handling, bot workspace spillover, an audit API, an Inspector Activity lens, tests, and a plan for deferred upgrades.

Changes

Grok parity Round 1

Layer / File(s) Summary
Upgrade plan and delivery scope
docs/plans/grok-parity-upgrades.md
Defines the three-round upgrade plan, Round 1 tasks, deferred work, delivery gates, and implementation risks.
Bounded tool output and workspace spill
server/tool-output.ts, server/drivers/agents-proxy.ts, server/drivers/phone-proxy.ts, server/computer-proxy.ts, server/container-computer.ts, server/contracts.ts, server/tool-output.test.ts
Bounds oversized tool output, optionally writes capped spill files to bot workspaces, propagates bot identity, adds request_credential, and validates fallback behavior.
Anti-bot detection and takeover handling
server/bot-block.ts, server/computer-proxy.ts, server/bot-block.test.ts, server/computer-proxy.test.ts
Classifies challenge pages, suppresses repeated host prompts, and reports takeover guidance during snapshots and navigation flows.
Per-bot action audit and Activity lens
server/action-audit.ts, server/index.ts, src/components/InspectorPanel.tsx, server/action-audit.test.ts
Persists redacted tool actions per bot, exposes recent records through an API route, and displays them in the Inspector Activity lens.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to a3231

The PR changes tool output handling, browser challenge behavior, and per-bot activity recording, but the current head still has concrete risks including lost command output, potentially unredacted spill files, and browser actions continuing after a takeover block; audit ordering, rotation, and challenge handling also have correctness and availability issues. These could cause data loss, privacy exposure, or continued automation, so the PR is not ready to merge until the issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Specify the existing control bridge and test the notification.

computer-proxy.ts already sends blockedToolNote(hit) as reason to /api/internal/computer-control; server/index.ts resolves botId and emits buildNotification("takeover", ...). Document this contract and add an end-to-end test that observes one notify frame with the expected bot, thread, host, and family. The declared threadId:host rate limit also needs an explicit thread identity because the current gate uses only host and is local to one proxy process.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/plans/grok-parity-upgrades.md`:
- Around line 650-651: Update the notification rate-limiter described in the
plan so its key uses the intended bot or global host scope rather than
threadId:host; ensure all threads targeting the same host share one 10-minute
notification limit.
- Around line 750-760: Update actionFromEvent to project browser-navigation and
computer-session events into their declared action types, and include the
corresponding action and screenshot count data required by the public contract.
Add tests covering these mappings and completion correlation; alternatively,
narrow the declared contract to the behavior actually supported.
- Around line 778-795: Update readActions to read and merge both the active
audit file and its rotated .jsonl.1 file before applying the limit, preserving
chronological ordering and the existing malformed-line handling so recent
activity includes rows retained across rotation.
- Around line 763-771: Update appendAction so its rotation decision accounts for
the incoming serialized row by checking the current size plus
Buffer.byteLength(line) against MAX_AUDIT_BYTES before appendFile; preserve the
existing audit rotation and append behavior.
- Around line 389-391: Update the spill-file write flow around the capped buffer
and writeFileSync so text is passed through the existing redaction mechanism
before persistence, then apply the byte cap to the redacted content. Ensure the
documentation accurately describes that the stored spill contents are redacted
while preserving the 0600 file mode.
- Around line 632-638: Update the snapshot handling path around
classifyBlockPage so a high-confidence hit both preserves the snapshot content
and applies the same terminal blocked/error signal and takeover handling used by
the browser_navigate and open_url branches; keep low-confidence hits unchanged.
- Around line 384-391: Update spill to enforce a total quota for the bot’s
tool-output storage, not just MAX_SPILL_FILE_BYTES per file. Before
writeFileSync, account for existing spill files and define the fallback when the
quota is exhausted, such as returning null; preserve the existing per-file cap
and secure file permissions.
- Around line 158-166: Update the Per-bot action ledger plan around action
capture and storage to define data minimization for tool names, command lines,
emails, file paths, URLs, and other personal data, plus bounded retention and
deletion behavior. Document either a default opt-out/erase path per bot or
equivalent controls, and ensure the GET audit endpoint and Activity view honor
those policies.
- Around line 399-407: Update boundToolText and its callers to resolve and pass
the privateWorkspace setting, and only invoke spill when that setting is
enabled; preserve truncation behavior without creating a .maus/tool-output file
for disabled workspaces. Add a test covering a bot with privateWorkspace
disabled and verify no spill file is created.
- Around line 390-407: Update spill truncation in spill and boundToolText to cap
the buffer at MAX_SPILL_FILE_BYTES without splitting a UTF-8 sequence, and
adjust the generated notice for capped spills to say the file contains only the
capped prefix rather than the full output. Preserve the existing behavior for
outputs within the cap.
- Around line 812-820: Update appendAction and its audit-write flow to serialize
writes per bot while preserving invocation order, and expose a flush seam that
waits for all queued writes to become durable. Change the test to await that
flush before calling readActions, removing the fixed timeout; ensure the
existing newest-first ordering and secret redaction assertions remain intact.

In `@server/action-audit.ts`:
- Around line 59-64: Update the audit-writing flow around the serialized line
and appendFile so it accounts for Buffer.byteLength(line), rotating before
appending when the existing size plus the new line would exceed MAX_AUDIT_BYTES.
Bound or truncate the serialized row when a single line exceeds MAX_AUDIT_BYTES,
including unbounded event.title values, so each audit file remains within the
configured limit.

In `@server/computer-proxy.ts`:
- Around line 452-458: Update the computer_exec result construction and the text
helper around boundToolText so they receive and combine complete stdout and
stderr without pre-slicing. Remove the earlier output truncation, preserve the
required stdout head in the combined result, and let boundToolText perform the
sole size limiting and spill decision.
- Around line 231-236: Update blockedTarget and its navigation callers to
associate block detection with the target opened or verified by that navigation,
rather than scanning every open BrowserTarget. Pass only the relevant target to
classifyBlockPage, preserving the existing high-confidence BlockHit behavior.

In `@server/index.ts`:
- Around line 3544-3550: Update the GET audit endpoint around readActions so a
parsed limit of 0 returns an empty actions array without calling readActions,
while preserving existing pagination for positive limits and the default when
omitted. Add an API regression test covering ?limit=0.

In `@server/tool-output.ts`:
- Around line 46-50: Update the spill-output flow around capped and
writeFileSync so it returns spill metadata rather than only the path, including
persisted byte count and an explicit capped indicator when MAX_SPILL_FILE_BYTES
is exceeded. Truncate text on a valid UTF-8 boundary before creating the buffer,
and update downstream reporting to state that the spill file was capped instead
of claiming the full output is available.

In `@src/components/InspectorPanel.tsx`:
- Around line 63-76: Update loadActions in InspectorPanel to cancel the previous
audit fetch when bot.id changes, ignore abort errors, and apply results only if
they still belong to the currently selected bot. Reset actions to null before
loading so the prior bot’s list is not displayed during the transition, and add
a delayed-response test covering the A-to-B bot switch.

**1.3 Per-bot action ledger** — `server/action-audit.ts`. `decision-log.ts`
answers *"was it allowed"* fleet-wide; this answers *"what did this bot
actually do"* per bot. It is a **projection, not new capture**: the event bus
already tees every `RuntimeEvent` to `~/.openmausbot/events/<threadId>.ndjson`.
A bus subscriber folds tool activity into `~/.openmausbot/audit/<botId>.jsonl`
(one line per action: tool call, browser navigation, computer-use session with
action and screenshot counts, shell command), 0600, through `redactSecrets`,
bounded by size with rotation. Exposed at `GET /api/bots/:id/audit?limit=`
and rendered as an Activity list in `src/components/InspectorPanel.tsx`.

Add data minimization and retention controls to the default ledger.

The ledger is enabled by default under the global constraint, and rows include tool names and command lines. The plan does not define removal of emails, file paths, URLs, or other personal data, and it defines no retention or erase policy. Limit recorded fields and retention, or add a documented per-bot opt-out and erase path.

Bound total spill storage.

The 1 MB limit applies to one file only. Each oversized result creates a new file, and the plan defines no cleanup or directory quota. A retry loop can fill the workspace and host disk. Add a total quota or retention policy, and define the fallback when that quota is reached.

Redact spill contents before writing them.

The global constraint at Line 35 requires redaction for every new on-disk artifact. writeFileSync writes capped, which is built directly from raw text. A 0600 file still exposes secrets to local file tools and later reads. Apply the redaction contract before persistence and describe the stored content accurately.

Make the spill prefix UTF-8-safe and describe its scope.

When MAX_SPILL_FILE_BYTES cuts inside a multi-byte UTF-8 sequence, the spill contains invalid UTF-8 and readers receive U+FFFD. Use UTF-8-safe truncation for capped. For inputs above the cap, state that the spill contains only the capped prefix instead of saying “The full output is on disk.”

Gate spilling on the private-workspace setting.

Task 1 says to spill only when privateWorkspace is enabled. This branch spills whenever botId is present. A bot without a private workspace can still receive a .maus/tool-output file. Pass the resolved workspace setting into boundToolText or enforce the policy in the workspace resolver. Add a disabled-workspace test.

blockedTarget returns a hit from any Chrome target. Both navigation callers pass every open target. If an unrelated tab already contains a challenge page, a successful navigation to another page returns a blocked result.

Track the target opened or verified by the navigation. Classify only that target.

Pass complete computer_exec output to the bounding helper.

Lines 1037-1039 pre-slice computer_exec stdout and stderr before this helper receives the text. The result stays below the spill threshold, so the original output is lost. The caller also loses the required head of stdout.

Build the result from complete stdout and stderr. Let boundToolText perform the only truncation and spill decision.

Report capped spill files accurately.

When Line 47 clips output above 1 MB, Lines 49-50 still return a path. Lines 63-64 then state that the full output is on disk. The discarded tail is unavailable.

Return spill metadata that records the persisted byte count. State that the spill file was capped. Cut the file on a UTF-8 boundary.

Prevent stale audit responses from replacing the selected bot's actions.

When bot.id changes, cancel the previous request, ignore aborted responses, and accept results only for the current bot. Reset actions to null so the old bot's list is not shown while the new request loads. Add a delayed A/B response test.

computer-proxy, agents-proxy and phone-proxy each bound their text results at
the single place they are built. computer-proxy and phone-proxy had no bot id
to spill against, so integrations.computer gains an optional botId (drivers
pass the object through untouched) and phoneIntegration takes one.

open_url and wait_for_navigation classify every verified browser target, and
the semantic snapshot classifies its own page. A high-confidence hit replaces
the result with an instruction to stop and hand the wheel to the user; a
low-confidence one is left alone, since a reCAPTCHA frame is usually embedded
in a page the agent can still use.

Routed through the control channel's existing request_help, which already
surfaces the plea in the computer panel and buzzes a takeover notification.
Rate-limited to one ask per blocking host per ten minutes so a retry loop

A third lens beside Events and Raw. Those two are per-thread; a bot that
works across several threads cannot be seen whole in either, which is what
the per-bot ledger is for.

Two findings the rebase surfaced: computerProxyEnv's conditional spread now
builds its object in statements, and the block reporter returns its note

Clear semantic browser state before returning a block response.

A prior snapshot can leave semanticBrowserRefs populated. Line 932 sets semanticBrowserUrl before the block check. browser_click and browser_fill can then pass their local stale-state check and issue an automation command after the proxy told the agent to stop.

Classify first. If the page is blocked, clear semanticBrowserUrl and semanticBrowserRefs before returning the takeover response.

Proposed fix
-      semanticBrowserUrl = snapshot.url;
       const snapshotBlock = classifyBlockPage({ url: snapshot.url, title: snapshot.title });
-      if (snapshotBlock?.confidence === "high") return text(id, blockedNoteAskingForHelp(snapshotBlock), true);
+      if (snapshotBlock?.confidence === "high") {
+        semanticBrowserUrl = null;
+        semanticBrowserRefs.clear();
+        return text(id, blockedNoteAskingForHelp(snapshotBlock), true);
+      }
+      semanticBrowserUrl = snapshot.url;
