Handoff — 2026-06-19 · WS5 6b (chat tool-loop UI) spec+plan DONE, ready to BUILD · 6a merged
Repo: ~/Code/lq-ai (canonical; NEVER ~/Desktop; Bash cwd resets — prefix every command cd ~/Code/lq-ai && …).
main HEAD = 205efd9 (PR6a merged; origin == tucuxi). Migration head 0054, EXPECTED_PATHS 133 (unchanged by 6b — frontend-only).
6b branch = feat/pr6b-chat-tool-loop-ui (off 205efd9, pushed origin + tucuxi). Currently holds two doc commits: the spec (7962491) and the plan (ac1aa82). Next session: BUILD the plan.
origin/main is PROTECTED — PR + GitHub merge only; sync tucuxi after. NEVER git push origin main.
Read these memories FIRST:
[[project-legal-research-mcp-milestone]],[[project-pr6-transparency-posture-narrative]](has the WS5 6a→6b→6c→6d decomposition + the D6 forward-consistency rule),[[project-pr6-release-completion-gate]](the end-of-PR6 release gate),[[feedback-commit-trailer-model]]. This file is the session-specific pointer.
NEXT SESSION STARTS HERE — build PR6b
The plan is complete and committed: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-19-pr6b-chat-tool-loop-ui.md (7 tasks; deterministic TS is verbatim; the Svelte component/route chrome is concrete skeletons that mirror RefusalMessageBubble.svelte). Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-19-pr6b-chat-tool-loop-ui-design.md.
Recommended execution = INLINE (superpowers:executing-plans) — like 6a, the load-bearing verification is visual (do the gate cards render, do the flows work) + the Vitest units; a subagent can't see the rendered UI. (Kevin chose inline-vs-subagent at the plan handoff; default to inline unless he says otherwise.) Tasks 1–3 are clean Vitest TDD; Tasks 4–5 are the stateful ChatPanel/route wiring (verify via build + visual).
What 6b builds (frontend-only, NOT security-gated → self-merge after CI green): consume PR5b's two terminal SSE events in the chat UI —
tool_confirmation_required→ an in-message approve/deny card (ToolGatePrompt.svelte, variantconfirm) →POST /api/v1/chats/{id}/tool-calls/{pending_call_id}{decision}→ resume the same assistant bubble (sharedconsumeIntoMessagehelper handles chained gates).mcp_authorization_required→ a connect card → same-tab redirect toauthorize_url?return_url=<chat URL>→ PR4d returns with?mcp_connected→ a "Continue" button re-sends the last user message.- D6 (Task 6, MANDATORY): flip the 6a narrative's availability claims "coming next" → "shipped" (explorer
AVAILABILITYblock + station 5/7 markers ingoverned-tool-flow.html, Learn section-17 sentence, README sentence). Do NOT let 6b merge without this — it's the honesty rule Kevin set.
Session-specific gotchas (don't relearn)
- Web tests:
cd web && npx vitest run <file>andnpm run check:lq-ai(the scoped svelte-check; CI gate = svelte-check + Vitest). Web is a pre-built static bundle —docker compose up -d --build webto view a UI change (neverdocker compose down -v). - Visual verification without a full dev flow: a headless Chromium is cached at
/Users/kevinkeller/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/chromium_headless_shell-1223/chrome-headless-shell-mac-arm64/chrome-headless-shell— used in 6a to--screenshot/--dump-doma static HTML file (--headless --disable-gpu --window-size=1280,860 --screenshot=out.png --virtual-time-budget=2500 file://…). Reuse it to renderToolGatePrompt(both variants) in a tiny static harness for the PR screenshots (Playwright the npm package is NOT installed; only the browser binary). - Anchors already read (in the plan verbatim):
parser.ts(terminalreturnpattern),types.tsframe interfaces (after line 391),ChatPanel.sveltesend/consume (~534-621;messagesApi.sendMessageStream+consumeMessageStream;messagesStore,streamingMessageId,sendError,draftAssistantId),api/messages.ts(apiStreamRequestpattern;resumeToolCallgoes here),api/client.tsapiStreamRequest(throwserrorFor(status)on non-2xx → resume 409/410 = expired),MessageBubble.svelteassistant branch (~130-160; renderToolGatePromptafter content), chats routeweb/src/routes/lq-ai/chats/+page.svelte(owns the URL for the?mcp_connectedreturn handler; reuse the project toast convention — likelysvelte-sonner). - Commit trailer:
git commit -s+Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>. Stage explicitly, nevergit add -A. Push origin + tucuxi.
After 6b merges (sync tucuxi, then continue WS5)
- 6c — external-source citations / source-kind (C4) in
api/app/citation/+MessageCitation(migration) + provenance pills + the case-law results panel (moved here from 6b — it needs 6c's structured citation data). Backend + frontend. Per D6, 6c updates the narrative for now-real provenance. - 6d — the
skills/case-law-research/SKILL + the C5 frontmatter parser (or docs-only — pin in 6d planning) + retire the OpenWebUI MCP stub (DE-341) (migrateweb/backend/open_webui/routers/configs.py+utils/middleware.pyoffutils/mcp/client.py→ gateway path, delete the stub). Per D6, 6d does the final milestone-completion honesty pass over the whole narrative. - THEN the release gate (
[[project-pr6-release-completion-gate]]): fresh-clone Docker works per README → build+push GHCR images → rebuild the signed/notarized macOS launcher (docs/lq-ai-macos-launcher-playbook.md) → verify for an external user → tag v0.5.0 (current tags reach v0.4.2).
The loop (used all milestone — keep it)
brainstorm (forks via AskUserQuestion w/ recommendation) → spec → writing-plans → build (inline for UI/visual work; subagent-driven for backend TDD; independent review before ship) → run gates yourself (evidence before claims) → ship (commit -s + trailer; push origin + tucuxi; PR vs main; CI; self-merge if frontend/api-only, Kevin merges security-gated; sync tucuxi). DEs → PRD §9.
