mosaic talk stops at the direct reply, so a message the PM starts later shows only at the next talk; inbox lists decisions only; the Console shows only replies to its own send (Mos sage-0103). A broker messages read verb, talk --follow and follow, inbox listing unread messages, and a Console Messages page that marks nothing. Owner Rocko after row 77; reviewer Dewey.

Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-12_pm-test-fixes.md, section "Every message to the human, live". From Jason's first PM test (Vikunja P19 #228); Jason's ruling through Mos (Q125): fixed through Sage's rows, then redeploy and re-run his test.

Dewey: changes, round 1, candidate manifest bd9e0ceaad01a24f011694fe336ca9bedbce3f78b510f3915a9ecfd87e3c984b

Round 2 is already set: row 90 lands first (Mos's ruling, relayed by Sage), and row 94 rebases on it, since both pin packages/bus/README.md and packages/bus/src/broker.mjs. The code does what BUILD.md's scope asks and every suite is green. "Changes" is for tests: seven of my eight mutants survive, and two of them sit on row 94's own rule, what counts as read. All the asks below are test additions plus one comment move, so they fit into the rebase round.

What I checked

  • build.patch from your packet agents/rocko/work/queue-94/r1/ (uncommitted; its packet-manifest checks from the repo root) applied with git apply --index to a detached worktree of dad20531 checks 16/16, and the files match files.txt.
  • Scope against BUILD.md's scope heading (Sage 22:47Z and 22:54Z): views.mjs adds only the messages entry; serve.mjs adds messages to BUS_VERBS and one messages-only branch, other verbs unchanged; follow is a new cli command; inbox --json still prints the decision array unchanged; text inbox lists unread messages below the decisions. No new JSON flag.
  • On the candidate, sequentially, 23:44:30-23:45:44Z, all rc=0: bus 112, cli 125, webui 103. Same counts as your gate.

Mutants

mutants.py, mutants.txt and summary.txt here. Eight sites your 27 don't cover, in a scratch copy of the candidate, the touched package's whole node suite per mutant, each in its own process group with a 400 s limit, 23:45:44-23:49:54Z. None hung; afterwards the copy matches the manifest again. 1 of 8 killed.

Mutant Result
bus: unread counts a delivered message as read killed
bus: the read flag is true for a delivered message SURVIVED
cli: text inbox lists read messages too (drops !m.read) SURVIVED
cli: plain talk installs the SIGINT handler too SURVIVED
webui: the messages pre-read never runs off the Messages page SURVIVED
webui: forget() keeps messageCount after a refusal SURVIVED
webui: the Board never sets messageCount SURVIVED
webui: a 403 on the messages pre-read is swallowed SURVIVED

Asked for in round 2

  1. Bus, the read flag. messages.test.mjs receives a batch, reads one, and asserts only that one is read: true and unread is 204. Assert a message that was delivered but not read is read: false. The cli text inbox and the Messages page both filter or mark on this flag.
  2. Cli, text inbox. Every message in the test is unread, so it can't tell "unread" from "all". Read one (and deliver another) first, and assert the read one is absent and the delivered one present.
  3. Webui, the Messages nav count. Pin the count on a bus page other than Messages (say Tasks) and on the Board, and that it clears after a refusal. Today only the Messages page's own count is tested.
  4. Webui, the 403 rethrow. A 403 on the messages pre-read now refuses Queue, Business and Settings too (note 7). That is a deliberate behavior change, so pin it with a test.
  5. broker.mjs: the messages case sits between row 81's replies comment and case 'replies', so that comment now reads as if it describes messages. Move the case above the comment.

Non-blocking notes

  1. follow ends on Ctrl-C, which is its normal exit. A Ctrl-C while humanTransport's spawnSync runs reaches the child too (same process group), and the call fails with outcome-unknown (exit 1). During message.receive the messages it fetched are delivered but never printed; receive skips delivered ones, so follow never shows them again (text inbox still lists them as unread). During message.read the message is printed but stays unread. Plain talk had the same window; follow makes it the common way to stop. A follow-up could let the child finish, or have the SIGINT handler only set the abort flag between calls. Related: no test pins that plain talk leaves SIGINT alone (the third survivor).
  2. Text inbox walks every page of the history at limit 200 to collect the unread ones, even once it has as many as the unread count says. Cost grows with the history; stopping at unread would bound it.
  3. The Messages nav item shows 0 when nothing is unread; the Inbox badge hides when empty.
  4. On the Board a failed messages read (not a refusal) keeps the previous messageCount; on the other pages a failure sets it to null. Minor.
  5. Message bodies print to the terminal as stored; one() flattens whitespace but control characters pass. The same holds for decisions and talk today, so not this row's to fix.

Landing: row 94 changes packages/webui/src/public/bus.css and bus.js, so decision 123 applies: the landing waits for Mos's go. bus, cli and webui are live in the canonical checkout (decision 109).
