Purpose

Stabilize the daemon-owned model context and complete runtime capabilities that every client can project consistently:

  • expose only the active profile-aware tool roster while loading hierarchical project instructions deterministically
  • add typed user questionnaires with canonical interaction lifecycle events for TUI and web clients
  • add proactive deterministic compaction, one bounded provider-overflow recovery, and queued manual compaction during active responses
  • add daemon-owned BM25 capability discovery, Agent Skills, session-persistent activation, and progressively disclosed daemon command tools
  • add MCP server configuration and progressively disclosed MCP tools
  • complete the daemon extension surface with managed discovery and trust, package installation, lifecycle and provider hooks, shared commands, canonical state, scoped controls, typed diagnostics, and published authoring declarations
  • add installable TUI and browser extension presentation hosts, with a first-party consumer and runnable examples for each

Fixes

Approach

  • Keep prompt construction, resource discovery, capability indexing, activation, interaction ownership, and compaction decisions in the daemon and kernel.
  • Discover AGENTS.md from the nearest Git repository root through the session working directory, prefer same-directory AGENTS.override.md, and reject invalid or escaping resources.
  • Record exact loaded-resource snapshots canonically, project them through the SDK, retain them across restart, and rediscover them only on /reload.
  • Add strict protocol contracts for questionnaires, compaction, and capability search, activation, denial, and resource reads.
  • Build one deterministic BM25 index over compact capability metadata. Load full Skill bodies and referenced resources only after activation.
  • Discover global Skills from ~/.axl/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, plus hierarchical project .axl/skills/ and .agents/skills/ directories.
  • Keep activated Skills and tool schemas available for the rest of the session and restore them from canonical events after restart.
  • Derive model-callable compact_context and reload_context tools from the authoritative daemon command registry rather than a parallel runtime list.
  • Keep slash commands out of Bash and direct model requests for hidden operations through capability discovery.
  • Compact before model requests when the configured token boundary is crossed, including between tool rounds. Retry one classified provider overflow only before output is exposed.
  • Preserve complete tool groups, split-turn context, cumulative read and modified file tracking, steering and follow-up ordering, and the authoritative JSONL history.
  • Load global, explicit-path, installed package, and explicitly trusted project daemon extensions with deterministic precedence, persistent enablement, atomic replacement, and bounded cleanup.
  • Support dynamic tools, shared commands, namespaced state and events, resource and context contributions, tool mutation and progress, scoped session controls, ref-counted provider registration, and HTTP provider hooks through the public extension API.
  • Return actionable extension_failed RPC errors, publish extension authoring declarations at @observal/axl/extension-api, and surface extension diagnostics through the shared /extensions command.
  • Register the first-party /extensions command through the same public daemon extension API used by third parties.
  • Load installable TUI entries with custom composer, autocomplete, dialogs, renderers, themes, and terminal-only reload. Built-in prompt templates and Skills use the same public TUI host.
  • Serve validated axl.web entries through the authenticated same-origin gateway into a separate browser host. Browser modules run with browser-client authority and cannot own canonical session effects.
  • Give browser extensions commands, shortcuts, notifications, native select, confirm, input, editor, and custom dialogs, text and DOM widgets, tool, message, and entry renderers, event observation, Markdown transforms, and theme tokens. The first-party /browser-extensions command uses the same public host. docs/architecture/extension-parity.md records the remaining Partial rows.
  • Acknowledge only the newest queued cursor of an event burst. Acknowledgements are cumulative, and per-event acknowledgements closed the browser socket at the gateway rate limit after /reload or extension enablement changes.
  • Ship the Landlock launcher as a release runtime dependency so installed artifacts can start the native sandbox.
  • Report catalog_refresh_failed from session.create and session.resume. Record other internal errors in a private, size-bounded daemon.log and on stderr while clients still receive a generic message. Skip reserved session logs whose creation never committed, so one failed creation no longer breaks session listing.
  • Advance the wire protocol from 16 to 30. The persisted event format remains version 1.

How was this tested?

  • pnpm check: passed with 1,071 tests passed and 8 environment-dependent sandbox tests skipped.
  • uvx reuse lint: passed with 632 of 632 files carrying copyright and license information.
  • pnpm audit --audit-level high: passed with no known vulnerabilities.
  • git diff --check: passed.
  • New regression tests cover dialog cleanup and focus, shortcut normalization, duplicate extension identities, widget cleanup on host disposal, event handler isolation, burst acknowledgement coalescing, release runtime dependencies, catalog failure reporting, the private daemon log, and listing with an uncommitted reserved log. Each was confirmed to fail before its fix where applicable.
  • A release artifact built with pnpm build:release was installed outside the repository with an isolated HOME. It used a keyless loopback custom provider backed by a local fake Chat Completions server.
    • The installed native sandbox was enforced. A model-selected shell command ran, and a write to /etc failed with a read-only file system error.
    • The paired example daemon tool was activated through capability_search and called by the model.
    • A session whose default provider came from an extension now reports The provider catalog could not be validated instead of Request failed.
  • Headless Firefox drove the installed axl web through WebDriver BiDi and the one-use launch token. The widget, select, input, and editor dialogs (including Escape), both example commands, the shortcut, tool, message, and entry renderers, /browser-extensions, disablement without fetching the entry, and re-enablement passed at 1440x900 and 390x844. /reload, disablement, and re-enablement kept the browser connection. The extension status is visible in sandboxed sessions and below the unsafe banner.
  • Earlier tranches: live Azure testing loaded changed extension source in one daemon process, exercised input, system-context, provider header, payload, and response hooks (LIVE_API_OK), and a separately installed artifact returned PACKAGED_EXTENSION_OK. Live Anthropic testing passed for hierarchical instructions and reload. Live Azure OpenAI Responses testing passed for Skill discovery, activation, resource reads, and restart restoration. Packaged CLI PTY tests loaded a TUI-only package with a deterministic fake provider.
  • Not verified: a live Azure TUI turn returned HTTP 404 and remains unresolved. The real-browser test used a deterministic fake provider, not a live model.
  • UI screenshots will be attached to this pull request separately.

Learning

  • Used the Agent Skills and AGENTS.md conventions as interoperability references while keeping discovery daemon-owned.
  • Reviewed OpenCode's Skill implementation at revision 1364769e516289bcd805dd813c36e68391858ab9 as a read-only behavioral reference. Axl retains bounded search rather than embedding the complete Skill catalog.
  • Reviewed Pi 0.85.0 compaction documentation and regression behavior, and Pi's extension documentation and examples, as read-only behavioral references. No Pi source was copied or translated.
  • Capability activation works best as session state: discover once, activate once, and retain the exact canonical content and tool binding until the session ends.
  • Model-callable daemon commands must derive from the authoritative command registry rather than a second hardcoded capability inventory.
  • AXL_HOME is not a supported override. Isolated installed-artifact tests must set HOME, and a short path keeps the daemon socket under the Unix socket length limit.

Checklist

  • I reviewed the complete diff.
  • I added or updated the smallest relevant test for behavior changes.
  • I ran the relevant formatting, lint, type-check, test, boundary, and license checks.
  • Every new file has SPDX metadata, directly or through REUSE.toml.
  • Every commit has a matching DCO Signed-off-by trailer.
  • UI changes include screenshots attached to the pull request, not committed to the repository.

AI assistance

  • Generative AI materially assisted this change. Tool and model/version: pi coding agent (model/version not exposed to the session) for earlier tranches; Claude Code with Claude Opus 5.5 for the browser extension tranche and the follow-up fixes.
  • I manually reviewed, understood, and tested the generated work.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dc97a

Several functional gaps remain in the new extension and compaction features. An extension that subscribes to the documented extension_event fails to load and blocks session start. Provider response hooks that fail can leave connections open. Cancelling extension and session mutations does not stop them. A stale extension path can break extension listing. CI formatting and a runtime integration test also fail. Resolve these before merging.

minimal, and validate.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/architecture/web-protocol.md`:
- Line 18: Update the recovery guidance in SETUP.md to replace the stale session
wire version 13 reference with version 25, while preserving the separate
host-control version 1 wording and the rest of the mismatch guidance.

In `@docs/extensions.md`:
- Around line 82-83: Update the `on("tool.call", handler)` documentation to
state that the handler receives all canonical tool calls, including built-in
tools such as `bash`; keep the blocking and input-copy behavior accurate, and
align the example and capability description with this broader scope.

In `@packages/ai/src/model-error.ts`:
- Line 18: Update the context-limit markers in the model-error classification to
remove the broad “maximum number of tokens” match or restrict it to
input/context-specific errors. Ensure invalid output-token-limit errors do not
enter context-overflow retry or compaction handling.

In `@packages/daemon/src/daemon.ts`:
- Around line 1053-1054: Update the cancellable-method expression in dispatch to
include "mcp.config.probe", ensuring the existing
mcpConfigurationService().probe call receives an AbortSignal and request
cancellation works.

In `@packages/daemon/src/session-manager.ts`:
- Around line 1214-1218: Update the rename command flow after interceptCommand
and its string-type check to catch ProtocolValidationError from
managed.session.rename, convert it to a command_blocked DaemonError including
the validation message and original error as cause, and rethrow all other errors
unchanged.

In `@packages/extensions/host/src/index.ts`:
- Line 44: Create the Ajv validator inside loadDaemonExtensions so each load
receives a fresh schema cache, remove the module-level JSON_SCHEMA_VALIDATOR,
and pass the per-load validator into kernelTool for both schema compilation and
errorsText generation. Update all kernelTool call sites accordingly.

In `@packages/extensions/mcp/src/capabilities.ts`:
- Around line 329-352: Update the cache-hit branch in the metadata selection
flow to reuse the cached entry while replacing its stale definitionFingerprint
with the current value. Keep the discovered metadata unchanged and preserve the
existing cache-miss discovery and failure handling.

In `@packages/extensions/mcp/src/manager.ts`:
- Around line 585-593: Update the OAuth retry branch in the finish flow to clean
up when any retry step fails: wrap the transport-type check, finishAuth,
transport retry, and client.connect calls in a try/catch, then await
candidate.oauth.close() and candidate.cleanup?.() before rethrowing the original
error. Preserve the successful return path with the retried transport and OAuth
session.

In `@packages/extensions/skills/src/index.ts`:
- Around line 191-195: Update readFrontmatter to decode the fixed-size probe
with TextDecoder using streaming mode, so a trailing incomplete UTF-8 sequence
is tolerated while invalid sequences still raise SkillValidationError. Preserve
binary-data validation and the existing strict full-file decoding behavior in
loadSkill.

In `@packages/protocol/src/wire.ts`:
- Around line 1609-1616: Update the configuration non-empty validation to
include configured.userQuestions as an accepted standalone field, and add
userQuestions to the corresponding ProtocolValidationError message while
preserving the existing checks for all other configuration fields.

In `@packages/runtime/src/local-runtime.ts`:
- Around line 492-556: Wrap the capability and MCP setup after
loadDaemonExtensions in a try/catch, including host composition and
capability-tool registration. In the catch, await
daemonExtensions.host.dispose() before rethrowing the original error, ensuring
failures do not leak extension resources.

In `@packages/sdk/src/projector.ts`:
- Around line 606-609: Update the compaction.failed branch in the projector
event handler so retryable failures and non-manual compaction reasons keep the
operation running without calling clearActivity; only manual, non-retryable
failures should update the operation to failed and clear activity. Use
event.payload.willRetry and event.payload.reason, matching the behavior of the
adjacent context.compacted branch.

In `@packages/web/src/app.tsx`:
- Line 1933: Update the MCP add and import operation handlers around setMcpError
to set mcpBusy before probing, and reset it in a finally block so Reload,
Remove, and Enable controls remain disabled throughout probing and saving.
- Line 1959: Update the server import persistence flow around
client.upsertMcpServer so saving the imported servers is atomic: use the
daemon’s batch transaction mechanism to apply all upserts together, or restore
the prior configuration if any upsert fails. Preserve the all-or-nothing
behavior and avoid leaving partially persisted servers.

🟠 Major · Persist prompt snapshots independently from resource snapshots. · agent-session.ts:408-415

packages/kernel/src/agent-session.ts:408-415
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Persist prompt snapshots independently from resource snapshots.

When an existing session has context.resources but no prompt.section events, and recordPromptSnapshot is false, this condition skips the prompt snapshot loop. options.prompt still supplies the in-memory prompt, but the exact prompt sections are absent from durable history. Restart and replay consumers can therefore lose the canonical prompt snapshot.

Track hasPromptSnapshot separately and use a separate condition for prompt.section events.

Proposed fix
 const hasResourceSnapshot = opened.events.some((event) => event.type === "context.resources");
 if (fresh || options.recordPromptSnapshot === true || !hasResourceSnapshot) {
   await session.append(options.boundaryOperationId, "context.resources", {
     resources: options.contextResources ?? [],
   });

556-556: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Register McpManager for cleanup before capability loading.

loadMcpCapabilities can open an MCP connection and then fail, for example when it writes the capability cache. Line 556 adds manager to hosts only after that operation succeeds.

If the operation fails, the catch block cannot dispose manager. The rejected session creation then leaves its connection and task resources active.

Add manager to hosts immediately after construction.

Proposed fix
               const manager = new McpManager({
                 // existing options
               });
+              hosts.push(manager);
               const mcp = await loadMcpCapabilities({
                 servers,
                 manager,
                 tools,
                 cachePath,
               });
               grantedAuthorities.add(mcp.authority);
               capabilitySources.push({ records: mcp.service.records, service: mcp.service });

Final audit at e4f6869 (after pulling 0633407, 9942582, e4f6869)

Ran the full local check suite and a live Azure e2e on the current head. One blocking finding, three non-blocking notes. No commits pushed as part of this audit.

Blocking

  • packages/runtime/test/local-runtime.test.ts "disposes loaded daemon extensions when later runtime setup fails" is red on CI (Build and test failed on e4f6869) and locally. Provider resolution runs before extension loading, so with no credentials the assembly fails at authentication_required and no extension is ever loaded or disposed; the cleanup marker is never written. The neighbouring runtime test gets past this by seeding a fake stored azure-openai key (store.modify("azure-openai", …) with an example.invalid base URL); doing the same here makes the invalid mcp.json the thing that fails the assembly, which is what the test wants to prove. Separately, the temp prefix axl-runtime-extension-cleanup- produces a 114-byte socket path, over macOS's 104-byte Unix socket limit, so the test cannot run on macOS at all; a shorter prefix fixes that. Verified locally that both changes together make the test pass with and without Azure env vars.

Non-blocking

  1. loadDaemonExtensions({ disabledExtensionIds }) has no caller; local-runtime.ts never passes it and the parity matrix lists enable/disable as Missing. Suggest dropping it until the consumer lands, or wiring it, so the option is not speculative.
  2. Content-hashed import URLs (?source=<sha256>) correctly pick up changed source on reload, but ESM never evicts the old module instances, so each distinct version of an edited extension stays resident for the daemon's lifetime. Fine for a dev loop; worth a sentence in docs/extensions.md or the parity row for per-extension reload.
  3. The PR description is stale: it says wire protocol 17→21 (now 26), and does not mention daemon extensions, on("command")/command_blocked, extension_failed, mcp.config.batch, or the roadmap §5/§10.4 change.

Verified on e4f6869

  • pnpm build, typecheck, lint, format:check, check:boundaries, check:generated, audit --audit-level high: pass.
  • Package tests: protocol 49, ai 286, kernel 105, sdk 69, tui 218, cli 44, web 45, daemon 84, extension-host 15, skills 7, mcp 15, all pass; runtime 4 of 5 (the failure above). Remaining failures (kernel 6, daemon 1, sandbox 2) are pre-existing on main and environment-bound (Seatbelt, symlink canonicalisation, one queue-restore test).
  • Live Azure OpenAI Responses e2e in an isolated HOME: hierarchical AGENTS.md with subdirectory override and context.resources; questionnaire round trip with the same operation resuming; Skill search → activate → capability_search read → instructions followed; MCP server added through mcp.config.probe/upsert, discovered status, approval prompt, native get-sum call; model-driven /reload via reload_context queued behind the response with instruction rediscovery; extension tool discovery through the new content-hashed .ts loader with ajv input validation; extension tool.call block; extension command hook supplying the compaction summary and rewriting a rename; activated tool and Skill still usable after a daemon restart with no re-search.

Not exercised live: threshold/overflow auto-compaction and the empty-aborted-turn fix (unit-tested only).

AI assistance: this audit was prepared with Claude via the pi coding agent and reviewed by me.

481-483: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Wait until the extension factory observes axl.signal.

The fixed five-millisecond delay does not prove that the factory started. If the import is still pending, the post-import throwIfAborted() check rejects the load. The test then passes even if propagation to axl.signal is broken.

Add a callback or promise that the generated factory resolves before it waits for the abort. Await that signal before calling controller.abort().

🟠 Major · Include automatic compaction events in TurnResult.events. · agent-session.ts:932-934

packages/kernel/src/agent-session.ts:932-934
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Include automatic compaction events in TurnResult.events.

If threshold compaction runs, compactOwned appends compaction.started and context.compacted, but runTurn does not add either event to appended. The overflow path has the same behavior. This breaks the documented promise that TurnResult.events contains every event appended by the turn. Collect those events for both automatic paths, in append order.

`configure_mcp` model tool, `/mcp` in the TUI, and an MCP settings tab in
the web client. Managed writes are validated, atomic, mode 0600, and
followed by an active-session reload.

Add a private, atomic, versioned metadata cache and BM25 capability
records for enabled MCP tools. Expose inactive provider-native schemas
with session-scoped activation, deterministic collision-resistant names,
and frozen direct dispatch without a generic `mcp` gateway.

Preserve sandboxed stdio, lazy transport ownership, cancellation,
approvals, progress, required tasks, redaction, blobs, sampling,
elicitation, and OAuth.

Advance the wire protocol to version 22.

An interrupted or failed turn that produced no content and no tool calls
was appended to the live session's model history, while replay from the
event log already filtered that shape. Providers reject an empty assistant
message, so every later prompt in the session failed with
provider_stream_failure until the daemon restarted.

Apply the replay rule to the live path so both histories stay identical.
The canonical assistant.message event is still recorded.

Replace the preset list with a real configuration flow. Users paste a
server's README block, URL, or command line (or answer a guided
questionnaire), review the exact JSON to be written, and Axl connects
first and saves only if the server answers.

Daemon and protocol:
- `mcp.config.list` projects per-server discovery status (`discovered`,
  `failed` with a redacted error, `disabled`, `pending`) and tool summaries
  from the metadata cache.
- New `mcp.config.probe` connects to a candidate definition without
  persisting it; `authorization: "required"` reports servers that need a
  browser login. Wire protocol 22 -> 23, event format unchanged.
- A server that fails discovery no longer fails the session. It contributes
  no capabilities, its failure is cached, and the rest load.
- Header and env values accept `${VAR}` templates such as
  `Bearer ${TOKEN}`; only UPPER_CASE names are variable references and
  literal values are rejected so secrets never enter `mcp.json`.
- A credential-less HTTP server that answers 401 arms OAuth automatically;
  the user still approves in the browser.

SDK: shared add-flow questions, draft-to-definition mapping, README import
parser (mcpServers/servers blocks, `type`, `disabled`, `${input:id}` ->
`${ID}`, bare URLs and command lines), required-environment hints, and
`probeMcpServer()`. Presets removed.

TUI: `/mcp` opens a panel with status, tool counts, activated-tool markers,
and keys for paste, add, enable/disable, remove, reload. Add and paste reuse
the questionnaire overlay with a review step and inline probe errors.
Startup and reload notices plus an `mcp:discovered/total` footer segment.
In fullscreen mode every dialog now floats as a centered box over a dimmed
transcript with the editor still visible. Dialog rows can no longer break
the frame with embedded newlines, and the caret tracks the prompt.

Web: MCP tab with the same data and actions, `QuestionnaireForm` extracted
from the interaction card and shared with Paste config and Add server.

The daemon records interaction.resolved under the responding RPC's
operation id so retries stay idempotent. The projector marked that foreign
id as running and never saw it complete, so after any MCP approval the
turn's real operation finished but activeOperationId stayed set and
clients showed Working forever with Esc having nothing to interrupt.

Resume the operation that requested the interaction instead.

Add an in-process daemon extension surface modelled on file-based
extension loading. A `.ts` or `.js` module in `~/.axl/extensions/`
exports a factory that receives `DaemonExtensionApi`:

- `registerTool` adds a tool indexed behind `capability_search`;
- `on("tool.call")` blocks a tool call before it runs, failing closed;
- `on("command")` replaces the inputs of, or refuses, a built-in command;
- `on("session.event")` observes every durable canonical event; and
- `track` registers cleanup for session end.

The kernel `ExtensionHost` gains `beforeToolCall`, `beforeCommand`, and
`observe`, plus `composeExtensionHosts` and `interceptCommand`. The
agent session consults the host before executing a tool and before
every compaction, including threshold and overflow compaction, so an
extension can supply its own summary or refuse. `@axl/extension-host`
discovers, imports, validates, and hosts the modules; an invalid
extension fails session start with its path and reason.

Extensions run inside the daemon process and are trusted by placement.
Node 22 strips TypeScript types natively, so no loader dependency is
added.

Route every session-bound built-in command through the extension host
before it runs: compact (client, model, and automatic), reload, model,
thinking, request, configure, fork, clone, and rename. An extension may
return replacement arguments or a refusal; a thrown handler also
refuses. The daemon revalidates replaced configuration and fork inputs
through the protocol parsers and rejects invalid replacements.

Add the `command_blocked` RPC error so the refusal reason reaches the
client instead of collapsing to `internal_error`, allow it on the six
affected methods, export `parseSessionConfiguration`, and advance the
wire protocol from 23 to 24. The persisted event format stays 1.

Model-triggered compaction now records `source: "model"` so extensions
can tell who asked.

Rewrite roadmap section 5 and section 10.4: daemon extensions are user
files in `~/.axl/extensions/` that run inside the daemon process with
its permissions. Placing a file there is the trust decision. Drop the
Phase 6 and Phase 7 items that required an out-of-process host for
executable extensions and replace them with project-trust and
daemon-level command follow-ups. Local MCP servers stay sandboxed.

Document the extension surface in the README and ignore `.reference/`
so read-only reference checkouts can live inside the repository
directory without reaching lint, format, or generated-file checks.

CodeQL flagged two regular expressions in the README-paste importer that
backtrack polynomially on untrusted input: the name edge trimmer's
`[^a-z0-9_.-]+$` alternation and the `//` comment stripper's
`[^\n"]*$`. Replace both with index scans that keep the same behaviour:
a name loses characters that may not start or end it, and a comment
starts at the first `//` after the last double quote on its line so
URLs inside strings survive.

Add a regression test with 50,000 repeated commas and slashes.

Make activation transactional, validate extension tool inputs, drain asynchronous observers during bounded cleanup, and reload changed source without stale module cache entries.

Expose actionable extension failures over RPC and publish the daemon extension authoring declarations in the release package.

Add browser dialogs, theme access, shortcuts, DOM widgets, tool,
message, and entry renderers, and event observation to the public web
extension API. The first-party /browser-extensions command manages
extensions through the same public host as installed modules.

Dialogs close, clean up once, and restore focus. Shortcuts match
canonical names by physical key code. Widget cleanup runs once on
unmount or host disposal. Duplicate extension identities are rejected
before import, and event dispatch isolates handler failures.

Tool renderers use the model-visible tool name, matching the TUI.
Browser extension commands report their own result instead of a
generic completion notice. WebElement resolves to HTMLElement only in
DOM programs, so Node packages stay free of DOM globals.

Add a paired daemon and browser example with install steps, and record
installed-artifact browser evidence in the parity matrix.

Acknowledge only the newest queued cursor of an event burst. The daemon treats acknowledgements as cumulative, and one acknowledgement per replayed event exceeded the web gateway burst limit after /reload or extension enablement changes, which closed the browser connection.

Install @deepseek-ai/node-addon-landlock-run as a release runtime dependency instead of bundling its JavaScript. The addon resolves its per-platform launcher package at runtime, so installed artifacts previously could not start the native sandbox.

Allow session.create and session.resume to report catalog_refresh_failed instead of a generic internal error. Record remaining internal errors in a private, size-bounded daemon.log and on stderr while clients still receive only a generic message. Skip reserved session logs whose creation never committed, so one failed creation no longer breaks session listing.
