Two agent-install failures from stock NAS shells: QNAP ships no od, so
the ELF header sniff read empty and rejected a valid download (issue
#1572); Synology DSM 7's patched systemd cannot apply the unit's
sandbox directives and killed the service with
status=227/NO_NEW_PRIVILEGES before exec (issue #1578). The header
sniff now falls back od -> hexdump -> xxd and skips with a warning when
none exist (checksum verification still guards integrity), and the
systemd unit omits the sandbox hardening block on DSM.
A follow-up sent during an active run now offers itself to the running
agentic loop via POST /api/ai/sessions/{id}/steer. Accepted steers join
the loop at its next turn boundary (the abort-check site) as plain user
messages, are announced with a steer_applied stream event so the drawer
settles the pending row, and persist through the end-of-run save. A
steer carries prompt text only: no route, control-level, or autonomy
changes, no turn-budget extension, system sessions rejected, and the
per-session inbox is bounded (steer_backlog overflow). Delivery is not
guaranteed by acceptance: a run that ends first discards the inbox and
the row drains as an ordinary queued turn, so pre-steering queue
semantics remain the fallback. Steering rows lose edit/remove once
accepted.
Chat turns, compaction, and title calls now stamp session_id on their
cost.UsageEvent, and the done event carries session_cost_usd summed from
the operator ledger (cost.Store.SessionCostUSD). The drawer's last-turn
summary appends '$0.12 session' with a sub-cent floor. The figure is
omitted whenever any of the session's models has unknown pricing, and
free local models price known-at-zero, so no figure is ever partial.
The installer's unit hardens with NoNewPrivileges=true, which strips the
ping binary's setuid/file capabilities, so ICMP availability probes could
never work on a systemd install. Grant the capability ambiently instead,
document the systemctl edit override for existing units, and pin the
hardening block with an install test and contract clause.
Addresses #1554 (discussion)
Every registered Pulse tool now carries a canonical invocation
descriptor (internal/agentcapabilities/invocation.go): static or
discriminator-based, classifying each invocation with a workflow kind
plus a mutation target (none / pulse_state / infrastructure). Mixed
descriptors must exactly cover their schema enum and registration
panics otherwise, so an unclassifiable tool cannot exist. Missing,
malformed, unknown, or fabricated discriminator values classify
fail-closed as infrastructure writes.
Provider projection and runtime enforcement consume the same
descriptor under one InvocationPolicy (control level plus the
request-local, non-serializable deny_infrastructure_mutations
restriction, isolated across executor clones): ListTools and
ListToolGovernance remove forbidden enum values, drop empty tools, and
recompute the offered action mode, while ToolRegistry.Execute blocks
forbidden invocations before the handler runs. This closes the mixed
tool control-level bypass, most seriously Docker action:update, which
previously fell through to direct execution at read-only, and fixes
the Kubernetes misclassification: the retired switch read the action
argument while the schema discriminator is type, so type:scale
classified as read.
pulse_file_edit is now write-only (append/write); file inspection
routes through pulse_read action=file, whose exec path keeps its
structural read-only execution-intent enforcement. ClassifyToolCall
consults the descriptor table first and retains only genuinely
non-registry compatibility cases. The deny restriction is deliberately
separate from autonomous mode, which only suppresses interactive
questions and grants no mutation authority.
Proofs: descriptor validation and fail-closed classification unit
tests, plus the invocation-policy regression suite (scale classifies
write and never invokes at read-only or under deny; Docker update
queues nothing at read-only; autonomous plus deny cannot mutate;
fabricated enum values fail at runtime; filtered projection and
runtime enforcement agree; executor clones keep request policies
isolated). Contracts and registry ownership updated for the new
shared invocation descriptor boundary.
Slice 3a of the typed-lifecycle ratchet; the patrol_investigation
execution profile and patrol_propose_action tool build on this
substrate next.
Ollama is the zero-cost AI path but the setup row offered only a Server
URL, and Patrol then failed on models that cannot emit tool_calls
(#1463, #847, #1425, #1152, #880). Bless qwen3:8b, the model family
Ollama's own tool-calling docs are written against, verified locally
against Patrol's real preflight: qwen3:8b emitted the tool call on
every run; qwen3:4b never did (0/4), so no low-RAM tag is suggested.
- Registry: SuggestedModel/Note/Equivalents on AIProviderDefinition,
projected on /api/settings/ai providers; Ollama default model goes
llama3.2 -> qwen3:8b.
- Provider row: copyable 'ollama pull qwen3:8b' block with hardware
note, and a next-step hint when a successful test resolves a model
outside the blessing set.
- Model resolution: exact-ID blessed preference, so pulling qwen3:8b
makes it the auto-resolved Patrol model with no manual selection.
- Readiness copy names the blessed model (its contract pins landed
with 94ccc7a0c's staging; this commit restores green).
- manual_ollama_preflight_test.go is the env-gated re-blessing
harness; contracts updated for ai-runtime, api-contracts,
frontend-primitives, and the agent-lifecycle/storage-recovery
dependent boundaries; subsystem_lookup_test line pins follow the
api-contracts.md insertion.
Exercised the full provider portal as a pilot MSP would and fixed what
made it feel broken:
- The signed-out portal promised "a sign-in link is on the way" even when
the control plane has no email provider (the bundle default), and team
invitations silently sent nothing. The portal bootstrap now carries
email_sign_in_available and provider_hosted_mode; the sign-in page shows
the host command that actually prints a link, and the invite panel says
invitation emails are not sent and how to hand over a link instead.
- New "provider-msp portal-link --email" CLI mints a one-time portal link
for an account member or pending invitee, so teammates can sign in at
all on email-less installs (bootstrap only covers the owner).
- Portal sessions were fixed at 12h; CP_SESSION_TTL now configures them
and provider-hosted MSP mode defaults to 7 days.
- Creating a client past the license cap showed a generic "Failed to
create workspace." toast: the limit error is now a JSON payload with
current/limit, the API client no longer drops non-JSON error bodies
(double body read), and the toast explains the license limit.
- Copy polish: provider-mode sign-in intro (no refunds/privacy register),
least-privilege default invite role, queue tile label matches "Client
onboarding", softer Support tab with a docs/MSP.md pointer, setup.sh
summary now prints the bootstrap next step and day-2 sign-in commands,
.env.example and docs/MSP.md document portal sign-in and sessions.
Contracts updated (cloud-paid, api-contracts, deployment-installability,
security-privacy) with verification pins in tenant_handlers_test,
config_test, magiclink_test, and provider_msp_deploy_test.
Verified live against a dockerless control plane: portal-link for an
invitee redeems, promotes the invitation, and sets a 7-day session;
the at-cap toast shows the license copy; portal vitest suite and
cloudcp/auth/account/installtests Go suites pass.
Planning, approval decisions, and execution for typed resource actions
move out of the HTTP handlers in internal/api/actions.go into a new
internal/actionlifecycle.Service owned by api-contracts. The REST
handlers become thin decode/actor/error-mapping adapters over the one
shared service, and ResourceHandlers.ActionLifecycle() exposes the same
service for in-process consumers, so a future Patrol action broker
inherits identical resource lookup, availability checks, plan hashing,
audit persistence, remediation locks, plan-drift revalidation,
execution, and terminal publication instead of loopback HTTP or a
parallel lifecycle.
Behavior is preserved: same status codes, error codes, and audit/
lifecycle persistence ordering, backed by the existing api contract
tests plus new fail-closed proofs for the service itself (unknown
resource/capability, availability refusal, unapproved execution,
remediation lock, plan drift, missing executor, missing store).
Contract text in api-contracts, agent-lifecycle, and storage-recovery
now names the service alongside actions.go and planner.go; the
subsystem registry owns internal/actionlifecycle/ under api-contracts
with a dedicated path policy; the code-standards and contract source
pins follow the moved invariants; and the subsystem_lookup line-number
pin shifts with the api-contracts canonical-files list insertion.
This is the first slice of making the typed action lifecycle the only
autonomous execution route for Patrol, Assistant, and MCP.
The only production consumer of the UpdaterRegistry is the plan endpoint
(GET /api/updates/plan); every real apply runs through the in-Go pipeline
in manager.go ApplyUpdate, with concurrency held by updateMu/updateInFlight.
The InstallShAdapter Execute/Rollback path (install.sh piping, rollback
binary download, health wait) and the UpdateQueue were never called outside
tests, so fixes made there silently did nothing. Adapters are now plan
providers only: the Updater interface keeps SupportsApply, PrepareUpdate,
and GetDeploymentType, pinned by the new registry proof in
internal/api/updates_test.go.
The orphaned fetchAndVerifyReleaseSignature helper goes with it; its
fail-closed sidecar tests now exercise the manager's
downloadAndVerifyReleaseSignature directly. The deployment-installability
sshsig invariant now names the manager pipeline as the only surface that
fetches release artifacts, and api-contracts, storage-recovery, and
agent-lifecycle pin the same plan-provider-only shape at their update
transport boundaries. Stale adapter references in build-release.sh,
validate-release.sh, and the installtests comments are updated to match.
