Fast-fail with a shell steer before any prompt; docstring names the closed catalog
and stops citing semgrep (pip/brew, deliberately unmanaged) as an example.
Capture stdio stderr tail; record generic connect errors for /v1/mcp (status=error);
persistent session notice via mcp_error; tests for client, manager, and GUI mapping.
Worker delivery is now a read-time feed over its slice (assigned ∪ filed) — send-backs, comment answers, reassignments, cancels, and acceptance all arrive through one relation; per-event recipient addressing retired.
Reassignment delivers before interest ends; a new assignee replays the item's story. Detail pane gains Add a note (never changes state); external pending/consume become space-scoped feed calls.
Sections are the store's states (In progress / Awaiting review / Queued), no row buttons or badges; blocked rows carry the blocker fact.
Detail pane merges the item's events into one timeline (filed/assigned/moves/comments/attachments), links the assignee to its worker session, and hosts the verdicts: Mark done / Request changes… (returns to the worker with the comment).
Blobs live in state-dir attachments/ (sha256-named); the log carries only attachment:// refs on a normal comment event.
Attach authority = comment authority; images-only allowlist with magic-byte check, 10MB cap; in-app tool + API + CLI + MCP.
Local (direct stores) and remote (one wire protocol) dialects; trackers become mirrors later, never dialects.
Tokens bind actor+role server-side (sha256-stored); board routes carry their own auth, external writes kick the wake tick.
ChatStore = groups + append-only messages + per-member cursors; agent posts wake mentions only, user posts wake everyone; post_chat(record_on_item) also lands the answer as an item comment.
Leads name workers (the callname is the handle everywhere); worker digests auto-carry the roster; gate checkbox is the user's call; canceling an assigned item now interrupts an in-flight worker.
Leads lose propose_plan (trait-derived exclusion — plan mode is meaningless without execution tools) and gain propose_work_items: mode-independent decomposition whose approval creates the items.
Team field moves off the turn-save upsert to a dedicated setter (workers detached from their lead after one turn); board deliveries carry a MessageSource sidecar; test-worker prefers project-local tool installs.
team: manifest trait gates lead/worker toolsets; propose_team pre-spawns worker sessions on approval (fail closed on solo personas).
Deliveries + lead subscriptions are cursor-consumed projections; turns end with a queue kick, ticks replay; timer wakes carry the code-computed staleness digest; hourly wake cap is the budget gate.
Plan proposals live in the conversation (plan-approval flow); items are created open/unassigned and work starts at assignment — the granted, revocable authority.
Also closes a verify gap: tail truncation is now caught against the stored head hash.
Board+journal endpoints act as the user; sessions get lead verbs behind OPENWORKER_TEAM_BOARD=1 until the team trait lands.
Rail hides all team chrome until the workspace has items; expand opens a full-width state-column board.
Registry metadata (version, publisher, checksum) moves to a distinct fact strip.
Decline button renamed to say the run continues; reason capped to one sentence.
Sidecar inherits the login shell's env; toolchain resolves absolute paths with pinned
installs; request_tool replaces the 'tool missing -> STOP' instruction that hid a check.
Bundle zip export + import (zip-slip guarded) through the picker's Import door; version+provenance with a replaces-note, re-consent only when capabilities grow.
Consent screen: trust warning first, capability summary with collapsed tool list, recommended connectors.
Per-session coworker+folder chips replace the sidebar split-button picker; code family gets a send-time folder dialog with git-ready temp dirs and Save as project.
Builtins ship enabled; user-facing noun is Coworker; personas flag now defaults on.
The artifacts scan used rglob and filtered after descending, so a home directory
workspace walked into ~/Library and triggered the macOS App Data consent prompt on
every turn. Walk with pruning instead, and skip Library / AppData in search too.
The composer chip now shows the session total by default, with the context window
bar behind a Settings toggle.
Settings -> Models grows a Context compaction card next to Token savings:
the trigger % of the context window (10-95), the absolute token cap
(clamped 10k-2M), and the summarizer-model pin (default: the session's
own model). POST /v1/settings/compaction persists them; engines read the
knobs live per check, so changes apply to running sessions immediately.
The "context compacted" divider rides the existing notice machinery: the
persisted `compacted` notice replays on reload (itemsFromMessages) and
the live COMPACTED event appends the same info notice mid-turn. The
transcript itself stays intact - outbound-only by construction.
Covered by vitest (marker replay), a settings-card e2e (defaults +
clamped POSTs + model pin), and a mid-session divider e2e driven by the
fixtures' scripted `compacted` event.
Minimal engine footprint: a checkpoint at each iteration top (between tool
turns and before a new turn), the usage signal captured per round-trip
(context_tokens; chars/4 estimate when never reported), and
_outbound_messages consulting the boundary. The summarizer runs off-loop
through the normal provider router, so the Settings model pin is just an
id.
Failure policy per spec: retry once in both modes; attended sessions get
the Retry / Trim-oldest-10% prompt (via the ask_user plumbing, gated by an
is_attended callback the WS surface wires); unattended runs auto-trim and
continue — never parked on internal bookkeeping. Raw context-overflow 400s
from the main model route into the same policy, progress-guarded so a
still-overflowing model terminates in the error path.
CompactionState persists on the session record (new sqlite column, same
defensive parse as grants), so reloads keep the compacted view. A
persisted compacted notice + a new COMPACTED event mark the spot for
the GUI divider (rendered in commit 3).
Options accept {label, description, recommended, preview} objects (plain
strings unchanged — old sessions render as today's pills), and `questions`
groups up to 4 questions into one call, rendered as a stepper via the
header chips. Any option preview switches the card to a two-pane layout:
options left, monospace pane right, following hover/focus.
Grouped calls resolve with a JSON map keyed by header-or-question and
return {answers: {...}} to the agent (single stays {answer: ...});
a grouped item's first question doubles as its title/options so channel
mirrors and legacy surfaces degrade sensibly. Channel buttons use option
labels; grouped items mirror as text with the open-the-app hint.
Coworkers remember durable things you tell them and use them in future sessions.
One Settings screen lists everything remembered - edit, delete, or stop new saves; standing instructions ride along.
Knowledge is session-stable, the save switch is per-message; sqlite gains a summary column via in-place migration.
Boundary-hardening pass addressing three audit findings on the local sidecar.
Shell command allowlist (andrewyng/openworker#28):
- Replace prefix-string matching in PermissionEngine._command_allowed with
argv-aware matching: reject any command containing shell operators
(; & | > < ` $( ( and newlines) before consulting the allowlist, then require
the allowlisted entry's tokens to be an exact argv prefix. This closes the
auto-run bypass where an allowlisted "git status" also auto-ran
"git status && rm -rf ~", pipes, redirection, and command substitution.
- Drop language interpreters / package managers (python, python3, node, npm,
npx) from DEFAULT_ALLOWED_COMMANDS — allowlisting an interpreter allowlists
arbitrary code (python3 -c "..."), defeating approval gating. Read-only
inspection commands and pytest remain.
MCP OAuth loopback (andrewyng/openworker#29):
- Verify the OAuth state at the loopback boundary. The MCP SDK already validates
state (compare_digest), so this is not a CSRF fix but defense-in-depth: capture
the state from the authorize URL and have deliver_callback ignore a callback
whose state does not match WITHOUT consuming the pending future, so a stray or
forged local hit can no longer abort a user's in-progress sign-in. Falls back to
prior accept-any behavior when no state was captured.
WebSocket ingestion caps (andrewyng/openworker#38):
- Bound a single user_message frame in the session WS loop: max text length,
max attachment count, and max total attachment bytes. Oversized frames get a
visible error frame and are dropped instead of being buffered into a turn; the
socket stays alive. Guards the unauthenticated loopback socket against cheap
memory spikes.
Tests:
- Allowlist: reject operator chaining (8 variants), argv-boundary matching, and
interpreters-not-auto-allowed-by-default.
- OAuth: state extraction, and mismatched/missing state ignored without consuming
the flow while the matching state still resolves it.
- WS: oversized text and too-many-attachments rejected with an error frame, and a
normal message still works afterwards.
Full suite: 865 passed (1 pre-existing unrelated failure in
test_provider_router::test_manager_curated_models, present on origin/main).
Gmail/Calendar/Drive show a disabled Coming-soon button; the server refuses the flow too.
Manual token connect and already-connected accounts are untouched.
Picker stays live for the session; switches persist a model_switch notice (§17 revised).
Rebinds refused mid-turn; images become placeholders for non-vision targets at send time.
Engine appends a display-only notice message on error/interrupted; providers never see it.
New retry frame re-runs a failed turn with no new user message, guarded on the error tail.
GUI renders persisted notices on reload and a Retry button on the trailing error.
Slack installer joins the workspace allow-list on managed connect; MCP interactive oauth only from explicit connects.
Run-started toast over a new app-wide /ws/events socket; Automations e2e locators scoped to the account menu.
