MindState (behind Arc<Mutex<>>) holds all cognitive state: DMN,
turn tracking, pending input, scoring, error counters. Pure state
transition methods (take_pending_input, complete_turn, dmn_tick)
return Action values instead of directly spawning turns.
Mind is now just the event loop: lock MindState, call state methods,
execute returned actions (spawn turns, send UiMessages). No state
of its own except agent handle, turn handle, and watch channel.

Add MindState behind Arc<Mutex<>> for state shared between Mind
and UI. Pending user input goes through shared state instead of
MindMessage::UserInput — UI pushes, Mind consumes.
Mind checks for pending input after every event (message received,
turn completed, DMN tick). User input is prioritized over DMN ticks.
This enables the UI to display/edit/cancel queued messages, and
removes the last MindMessage variant that carried data.

cycle_reasoning, kill_processes, and AdjustSampling only need the
Agent lock — they're pure Agent operations. Handle them directly
in the UI event loop instead of routing through Mind.
Mind now only receives Interrupt and CycleAutonomy as hotkeys,
which genuinely need Mind state (turn handles, DMN state).

All slash command routing now lives in user/event_loop.rs. Mind
receives typed messages (NewSession, Score, DmnSleep, etc.) and
handles them as named methods. No more handle_command() dispatch
table or Command enum.
Commands that only need Agent state (/model, /retry) run directly
in the UI task. Commands that need Mind state (/new, /score, /dmn,
/sleep, /wake, /pause) send a MindMessage.
Mind is now purely: turn lifecycle, DMN state machine, and the
named handlers for each message type.

Add tokio::sync::watch for turn_in_progress state. Commands in the
UI event loop can wait for turns to complete via wait_for() instead
of checking-and-bailing.
Move /retry to event_loop: waits for turn completion, pops agent
history, sends retried text as MindMessage::UserInput. Mind doesn't
need to know about retry — it just sees a new input message.
Make agent field pub on Mind for UI access.

/quit, /help, /save handled directly in the UI event loop.
/model and /model <name> moved to event_loop as cmd_switch_model().
Mind no longer needs tui::App for any command handling.
Mind's handle_command now only has commands that genuinely need
Mind state: /new, /retry, /score (turn_in_progress, DMN, scoring).

Mind::run() owns the cognitive event loop: user input, turn results,
DMN ticks, hotkey actions. The UI event loop (user/event_loop.rs) owns
the terminal: key events, render ticks, channel status display.
They communicate through channels: UI sends MindMessage (user input,
hotkey actions) to Mind. Mind sends UiMessage (status, info) to UI.
UI reads shared state (active tools, context) directly for rendering.
Removes direct coupling between Mind and App:
- cycle_reasoning no longer takes &mut App
- AdjustSampling updates agent only, UI reads from shared state
- /quit handled by UI directly, not routed through Mind

The cognitive state machine is a Mind, not a Session. This is the
struct that AgentCycle will hang off of when we add subagent forking.

Memory scoring now uses the graph as source of truth:
- last_scored timestamp on each node (new capnp field @22)
- Nodes scored when older than scoring_interval_secs (default 1hr)
- Oldest-scored-first ordering
- Window: scoring_response_window assistant responses (default 100)
- First-quarter memories scored even without full window
- Per-response normalization (raw divergence / response count)
- Asymmetric weight update: alpha=0.5 up, alpha=0.1 down
(responds fast to importance, decays slowly — memories stay
surfaced even if only useful 1/4 of the time)
Graph writes disabled pending normalization calibration.
Also: configurable scoring_interval_secs and scoring_response_window.

Reject tool calls with malformed JSON arguments early, returning
a clear error to the model instead of silently defaulting to null
and dispatching anyway. Prevents cascading failures when the model
generates truncated tool call arguments.

Disables memory scoring, surface, and observe agents when set.
Useful for testing with external backends (e.g. OpenRouter) where
background agent traffic would be slow and unnecessary.

consciousness-channel-socat listens on a unix socket for incoming
connections, turning each into a bidirectional text channel. Also
supports outbound connections via the open RPC (tcp: or unix:).
Two sockets:
socat.sock — capnp RPC (channel protocol)
socat.stream.sock — data (incoming connections become channels)
No config file needed. The simplest possible channel daemon.

find_daemon() replaces daemon_sock() — walks the dot-delimited channel
path from most-specific to least looking for a daemon socket, and
auto-starts via the supervisor if none is found. All channel tools
(recv, send, open, close) use the same resolution path.
Fix tmux daemon to use pane_id consistently for both pipe-pane and
send-keys (send-keys -t <label> doesn't work, needs the %N pane id).
Store label→pane_id mapping in State instead of bare label vec.
Gracefully handle missing tmux.json5 — start with empty pane list
since panes are added dynamically via the open RPC.
Co-Authored-By: Proof of Concept <poc@bcachefs.org>
Add open/close to the channel capnp schema. The tmux daemon implements
open by finding a pane by name (pane title or window name) and
attaching pipe-pane; close detaches and removes from state.
Tool handlers channel_open and channel_close added to the tool
registry.

Move the entire stream event processing loop (content accumulation,
leaked tool call detection/dispatch, ToolCallDelta assembly, UI
forwarding, display buffering) into api::collect_stream(). The turn
loop now calls collect_stream() and processes the StreamResult.
Also move FunctionCall, ToolCall, ToolCallDelta to api/types.rs where
they belong (API wire format, not tool definitions). Move parsing.rs
to api/parsing.rs.

Move FunctionCall, FunctionCallDelta, ToolCall, ToolCallDelta from
tools/mod.rs to api/types.rs — these are API wire format, not tool

Move parsing.rs to api/parsing.rs — leaked tool call parsing is API

run_one_agent is meant to run within a long-running process (daemon,
CLI) — PID tracking is the caller's concern. Remove PidGuard, signal
handlers, setup_agent_state. Process management (scan_pid_files,
spawn_agent) stays for callers that need it.

journal_tools() was only in memory_and_journal_tools() for
subconscious agents — not in the main tools() registry. Added
so consciousness and MCP server can use journal_new/tail/update.

dispatch_shared was a legacy wrapper — replaced by dispatch() which
goes through the unified Tool registry. One dispatch path for all
callers (interactive agent, subconscious agents, MCP server).

ToolDef and FunctionDef are gone. Tool definitions are static strings
on the Tool struct. The API layer builds JSON from Tool::to_json().
- ChatRequest.tools is now Option<serde_json::Value>
- start_stream takes &[Tool] instead of Option<&[ToolDef]>
- openai::stream_events takes &serde_json::Value for tools
- memory_and_journal_tools() returns Vec<Tool> for subconscious agents
- Subconscious agents filter by t.name instead of t.function.name
No more runtime JSON construction for tool definitions.
No more ToolDef::new(). No more FunctionDef.

Tool derives Copy (all fields are Copy: &'static str + fn pointer).
dispatch_with_agent copies the Tool out of the agent lock guard,
drops the guard, then calls the handler. No Arc cloning needed.

Agent.tools holds the Tool registry directly. ToolDefs are built
on the fly at the API call site from Tool::to_tool_def(). No more

working_stack now uses the Tool format with an Agent handle —
it locks the agent and modifies the stack directly. The special-case
interception in the turn loop is removed. All tools go through
the unified registry dispatch.
Also passes agent handle to all spawned tool tasks so any tool
that needs Agent access can use it.

ToolOutput was just { text: String } — replaced with plain String.
dispatch() and dispatch_shared() return String directly.
ActiveToolCall handle is (ToolCall, String).
Error results are prefixed with "Error: " by convention.

Control tools (pause, switch_model, yield_to_user) now use the
Arc<Mutex<Agent>> handle to set pending_yield, pending_model_switch,
pending_dmn_pause directly. The turn loop drains these flags into
TurnResult at completion.
ToolOutput simplified to just { text: String } — no more is_yield,
images, model_switch, dmn_pause fields. Vision returns plain strings.

Tool definitions are now &'static str (name, description,
parameters_json) instead of runtime-constructed serde_json::Value.
No more json!() macro, no more ToolDef::new() for tool definitions.
The JSON schema strings are written directly as string literals.
When sent to the API, they can be interpolated without
serialization/deserialization.
Multi-tool modules return fixed-size arrays instead of Vecs:
- memory: [Tool; 12], journal: [Tool; 3]
- channels: [Tool; 4]
- control: [Tool; 3]
- web: [Tool; 2]
ToolDef/FunctionDef remain for backward compat (API wire format,
summarize_args) but are no longer used in tool definitions.

- Inline tool definitions into tools() — no separate definitions()
- Remove dispatch() and dispatch_blocking()
- Remove rpc_blocking helper

(same pattern as fetch_all_channels)
- All tool functions private — only tools() is exported
- fetch_all_channels remains pub (used by thalamus screen)
TODO: mind/mod.rs still references thalamus::channels::fetch_all_channels,

Each tool module exports its own tools() returning Vec<Tool>.
mod.rs::tools() chains them. Individual _def() and handler functions
are pub(super), not exported. Aggregate definitions derived from
the Tool lists.
- memory: memory_tools(), journal_tools()
- channels: tools()
- control: tools()

All dispatch now goes through the Tool registry. Removed:
- memory::dispatch() (20-line match)
- channels::dispatch() and dispatch_blocking()
- channel_list_blocking(), channel_notifications_blocking()
Channel tool functions made pub so registry calls them directly.

dispatch() and dispatch_shared() now look up tools by name in the
registry and call the handler directly. No more match-on-name-strings.
MCP server also uses the registry for both definitions and dispatch,
eliminating the last duplicated tool logic.
dispatch_with_agent() passes the optional Arc<Mutex<Agent>> through
for tools that need agent context (control tools, working stack).

Tool struct wraps ToolDef + async handler function. tools() returns
the complete registry — single source of truth for definitions and
dispatch.
Handler signature: fn(Option<Arc<Mutex<Agent>>>, Value) -> BoxFuture<Result<String>>
All tools registered: file ops, bash, web, vision, memory (15 tools),
channels (4 tools), control (3 tools). Working stack removed from
registry (will be replaced).
Old dispatch functions remain for now — next step is to route
dispatch through the registry.

Split the monolithic dispatch(name, args) into individual public
functions (render, write, search, links, link_set, link_add, used,
weight_set, rename, supersede, query, output, journal_tail,
journal_new, journal_update) each with a matching _def() function.
The old dispatch() remains as a thin match for backward compat
until the Tool registry replaces it.

Move all tool definitions and dispatch out of mcp-server.rs:
- Channel tools: new tools/channels.rs with definitions, async
dispatch, blocking dispatch, and capnp RPC helpers
- Memory tools: make tools/memory.rs pub so mcp-server can use it
mcp-server.rs is now pure JSON-RPC protocol plumbing (482 → 169 lines).
No tool-specific code remains in that file.
Also removes duplicated channel RPC helpers and fetch_all_channels
that were in both mcp-server.rs and thalamus/channels.rs.

Standalone daemon that streams tmux pane output via pipe-pane
(no polling). Each configured pane becomes a channel "tmux.<label>"

- Async readers push new lines into ChannelLogs
- send works via tmux send-keys
- Cleanup disconnects pipe-pane on daemon exit

F5 screen now shows temperature, top_p, top_k with interactive
adjustment:

- Left/right: adjust value (0.05 steps for temp/top_p, 5 for top_k)
- Updates Agent and display immediately via HotkeyAction
Co-Authored-By: Proof of Concept <poc@bcachefs.org>
Move temperature from a per-call parameter to an Agent field,
add top_p and top_k. All three are sent to the API via a new
SamplingParams struct, displayed on the F5 thalamus screen.
Defaults: temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20 (Qwen3.5 defaults).
Also adds top_p and top_k to ChatRequest so they're sent in the
API payload. Previously only temperature was sent.
UI controls for adjusting these at runtime are not yet implemented.
