retoorandClaude Sonnet 5 9dbd1fe667 Add plexer subsystem, container test infra, and last-resort opencode box backend
- Plexer: always-active terminal multiplexing. NativePlexerController/
  TmuxPlexerController share one interface, chosen by which env var is
  already set (TAI_PLEXER_SOCKET vs TMUX_PANE); NativePlexerBackend is
  the pty.fork()-based wrapper (raw mode, SIGWINCH resize forwarding,
  a Unix-socket control protocol, continuous session logging, a
  Ctrl+A prefix key distinct from tmux's own Ctrl+B). Auto-wraps new
  interactive shells via a .bashrc hook mirroring the existing
  command-not-found install pattern, gated on $TMUX/$TAI_PLEXER_ACTIVE/
  a $HOME/.tai-no-plexer bypass. New plexer_send/read/type/status
  tools, env-gated on a detected controller.
- tests/container.py + docker-compose.yml + tests/docker/Dockerfile:
  a disposable podman/docker image for the tests that must never touch
  a real machine (installing the plexer hook into a real ~/.bashrc, a
  live tmux session). Required suite (test_seal.py, test_tai.py,
  tests/plexer.py, tests/bashrc.py) gates the result; tests/rag.py
  runs as best-effort since its real-LLM dependency can't be satisfied
  inside a disposable container with no nested engine.
- tests/bashrc.py: real end-to-end hook install + bash -i auto-wrap,
  anti-recursion, tmux-active skip, non-interactive skip, a live
  TmuxPlexerController test, and an install/uninstall round-trip.
- tests/plexer.py: NativePlexerBackend under a real pty, plus a
  dedicated robustness pass (file permissions, >64KB payload framing,
  a malformed control request, a genuine self-deadlock fix in the
  write-to-child path).
- tai_test.py: the shared async process-driving framework (pipe/pty
  transport, group-wide kill-and-reap, a StdinBridge for --interactive)
  both test files build on.
- ChatClient last-resort backend: when there's no local opencode CLI
  but the sandbox box is already running, install opencode into it
  (official Node tarball, not apt -- apt's nodejs/npm pull in
  webpack/babel/jest as transitive deps) and route through it instead
  of giving up. Only reachable after the first retry round already
  failed everything else; never creates the box itself. TmuxPlexerController.status()
  fixed to use `list-panes` instead of `display-message -p`, which
  silently fell back to the default pane instead of erroring against
  a dead target.
- Fix 4 pre-existing test_tai.py bugs surfaced by running it in a
  clean environment for the first time: two stale mock signatures
  (subprocess.run's stdout= kwarg, Chat.complete's deadline= kwarg),
  one $TMUX-dependent catalog assertion, one tty-dependent color
  assertion.
- research/: a sourced research archive (Source Dossier/Citation
  Card/Conclusion tiers) backing the above design decisions, with its
  own audit.py consistency checker.
- .gitignore: fix a blanket *.md rule that was about to silently drop
  the entire research/ archive from version control; add __pycache__/
  and the one-off debug transcript this session started from.

Conventions

  • Use plain import and from statements in Python files.
  • Use the .py extension for Python source and test files.
  • Keep source files at the repository top level.
  • There are two kinds of test, in two different places, on purpose — see "Testing" below for the full split. In short: unit tests are top-level test_*.py; integration tests are tests/<topic>.py (no test_ prefix) built on tai_test.py.

Testing

Unit tests: test_tai.py, test_seal.py, at the repository top level, named test_*.py, unittest-based, import tai.py as a module directly, no subprocess, fast. python3 test_tai.py / python3 test_seal.py, or a single test via python3 -m unittest test_tai.SomeClass.test_method.

Integration tests: tests/<topic>.py (e.g. tests/rag.py), deliberately not named test_*.py and not at the top level, so the two kinds are never confused. These drive the real tai.py binary as a subprocess (one-shot or REPL) and check actual CLI behavior, using tai_test.py (the framework, at the repository root) as the one and only base to build on — never a one-off subprocess/asyncio harness per file. They must exercise a real LLM call through the real binary — never a mocked model or a database write standing in for what the agent would have done; the resulting flakiness from a free, rotating backend is accepted, not engineered away. Full conventions, that rule's full rationale, the required isolation rule (always a throwaway TAI_HOME), and why verification must check vault state rather than scrape CLI rendering, are in tests/README.md — read it before adding a new one. Run with python3 tests/<topic>.py (--filter, --interactive, --timeout all supported).

Agent Overview

  • tai: The main autonomous agent.
  • devops: A bot that manages the DevPlace DevOps platform.

Agent Profiles

  • default: Default agent profile for general tasks.
  • work: Work-focused agent profile.
  • dev: Development-focused agent profile.

Bot Details

  • devops: A bot that automates DevPlace DevOps operations.
    • Manages workspaces, projects, and deployments.
    • Handles user authentication and access control.
    • Provides development tools and utilities.
    • Integrates with OpenShift Dev Spaces.

Key Features

  • Autonomous decision making
  • Multi-profile support
  • Background subagent orchestration
  • Secure vault storage
  • Container sandbox support
  • Progress tracking
  • Interactive REPL
  • Command-line interface

Usage Examples

  1. Start the main agent:

    ./tai.py
    
  2. Use a specific profile:

    ./tai.py --profile work
    
  3. Run a one-shot command:

    ./tai.py what is 2+3, use the shell
    
  4. Check agent status:

    ./tai.py --version
    
  5. Install the agent:

    ./tai.py --install
    

Development Guidelines

  • Write clear, concise code
  • Follow Python conventions
  • Test thoroughly
  • Use the agent for documentation
  • Keep code maintainable
  • Document decisions
  • Version control changes
  • Collaborate effectively

Research Rule

All external research conducted for this project (web searches, reading documentation to settle a design question, competitive/prior-art analysis) is archived under research/, maintained under the auspices of the Molodetz Institute — Research & Retrieval Division. The full specification — folder layout, the three required document types (Source Dossier, Source Citation Card, Conclusion Document), required metadata, and the quality bar — lives in research/README.md; research/INDEX.md is the living registry and statistics page. Read research/README.md in full before writing into this archive.

The binding rule, in short: a research task is not done until it is written into research/. Every source actually consulted gets its own document (Tier 1 if read and synthesized, Tier 2 if only seen in a result listing — never skipped, never inflated past what's actually known), every decision the research produced gets its own Conclusion document in that subject's conclusions/ folder, and research/INDEX.md gets updated in the same pass. Check research/INDEX.md for an existing subject before opening a new one.
