jason.woltjeandClaude Opus 5.5 1bdb6f9b13 feat(webui): console tokens and shell restyle (#1542, row 53)
The console takes the design package's tokens.css and icons.svg as byte
copies, guarded by a test, and a new shell.css holds the components:
command bar with freshness line, section list (a strip that scrolls
inside itself below 760px), dense table, inspector, status mark, chips,
copy command, toast, Ctrl+K palette, not found, banners and skeleton
rows. JetBrains Mono 2.304 ships from the official archive with sha256
and OFL. Harbor following the system setting is the default palette.
A refusal (403, not-configured, no-bus-host, or the board's 403) fails
closed everywhere: no kept rows, counts, inspector, palette entries or
conversation history, and a later 500 or 503 doesn't bring them back.

Dewey built it in three rounds. Round 1 (75569953) and round 2
(78c3aef9) got changes from Darkwing (27148, 27165) and Filbert (27143,
27163) for refusal leaks outside the main view; round 3 (2562c05d) was
approved by Darkwing (27171) and Filbert (27174). Sage's gate on
ea080fd8 plus the candidate: runs 41/0, queue 148/0, webui 27/0,
conversation 182/0, control-board 124/0, build-tokens --check current,
every scripts/test-*.sh 0 failed (task 98/0 and release 14/0 with
Docker). The round 2 gate had one discord engine timing failure in the
full run, 66/0 alone, filed as #1553.

Dewey development TUI

From any terminal, run:

/mnt/storage/src/mosaic-stack/agents/dewey/launch.sh

The agent launcher is a thin shim to scripts/agent.sh --host-dev dewey, forwarding all arguments unchanged. scripts/agent.sh is the common entry point; scripts/agent-host-dev.sh implements its native development mode. The host launcher opens the repository as Dewey's workspace. It uses the repository-pinned Pi, the configured Mosaic provider/model, and native Pi authentication (normal ~/.pi/agent, or PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR if explicitly set). It never copies credentials. Install dependencies with npm ci --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund if needed.

--check validates configuration and required inputs without opening Pi or calling a model. --fresh starts a new conversation without deleting earlier ones. Normal launches continue the latest conversation under .pi/state/dewey/sessions/; the first launch creates one. A launcher lock rejects simultaneous launches through this script. It does not exclude Pi processes started another way. Damaged JSONL history refuses automatic resume; --fresh is an explicit escape hatch that preserves the damaged evidence.

The current files are combined into a private launch snapshot under .pi/state/dewey/launches/:

  • contracts/CONSTITUTION.md and contracts/STANDARDS.md
  • agents/dewey/SOUL.md
  • <configured dataRoot>/user/USER.md, the deployment's live user profile
  • the repository's AGENTS.md and Dewey's CONTEXT.md

Use --soul FILE, --constitution FILE, or --user FILE to select alternate inputs, including a future contracts/USER.md. Relative paths resolve from the repository root. Missing or empty inputs refuse launch. Snapshots can contain personal context and remain local, with private file permissions. Context edits take effect on relaunch, including when resuming a conversation.

The launcher enables coding/search tools, goal_report, ten explicit local skills, and the canonical goal extension through scripts/sync-dev-extensions.sh. Ambient context, skills, extensions, templates, and themes are disabled. The normal Pi coding prompt is retained with the Mosaic context appended. Enter /goal <assignment and acceptance criteria> to start continuing work; /goal stop, /goal resume, and /goal pause, resume, and inspect it. A new process does not automatically adopt a previous process's goal.

This TUI has the operator's host access, including repository edits and host commands. Its tool list is not OS isolation. It creates no managed role or fleet registration. Worker dispatch still uses the governed Mosaic task runner. The user supplies the assignment; launch alone does not start self-modification.

Deployment findings

The existing scripts/agent.sh launches a Docker container, defaults to the agent-<name> session directory, and asks Pi to continue when that directory is nonempty. Its default workspace is <dataRoot>/workspaces/<name>, not this checkout. src/load-contracts.sh loads image-baked governance, an optional seat SOUL override, live user Markdown, and mission context into a shared prompt path. A seat override requires agent.json; a standalone SOUL is not discovered. adapters/pi/adapter.sh disables extensions. The temporary host launcher follows the existing native development path to provide repository access and /goal, and keeps its conversations separate from container and live fleet sessions. It does not invoke release alignment on startup.
