Three optimizations to the agentic loop:
1. Cache loop agent as singleton (avoid repeated warmups)
2. Sliding window for step context (last 2 results, not all)
3. Replace summary LLM call with deterministic summary
Saves 1 full LLM inference call per agentic loop invocation
(30-60s on local models) and reduces context window pressure.
Also fixes pre-existing test_cli.py repl test bugs (missing result= assignment).
Move hardcoded model fallback lists from module-level constants into
settings.fallback_models and settings.vision_fallback_models (pydantic
Settings fields). Can now be overridden via env vars
FALLBACK_MODELS / VISION_FALLBACK_MODELS or config/providers.yaml.
Removed:
- OLLAMA_MODEL_PRIMARY / OLLAMA_MODEL_FALLBACK from config.py
- DEFAULT_MODEL_FALLBACKS / VISION_MODEL_FALLBACKS from agent.py
get_effective_ollama_model() and _resolve_model_with_fallback() now
walk the configurable chains instead of hardcoded constants.
5 new tests guard the configurable behavior and prevent regression
to hardcoded constants.
Model upgrade:
- qwen2.5:14b → qwen3.5:latest across config, tools, and docs
- Added qwen3.5 to multimodal model registry
Self-hosted Gitea CI:
- .gitea/workflows/tests.yml: lint + test jobs via act_runner
- Unified Dockerfile: pre-baked deps from poetry.lock for fast CI
- sitepackages=true in tox for ~2s dep resolution (was ~40s)
- OLLAMA_URL set to dead port in CI to prevent real LLM calls
Test isolation fixes:
- Smoke test fixture mocks create_timmy (was hitting real Ollama)
- WebSocket sends initial_state before joining broadcast pool (race fix)
- Tests use settings.ollama_model/url instead of hardcoded values
- skip_ci marker for Ollama-dependent tests, excluded in CI tox envs

* polish: streamline nav, extract inline styles, improve tablet UX
- Restructure desktop nav from 8+ flat links + overflow dropdown into
5 grouped dropdowns (Core, Agents, Intel, System, More) matching
the mobile menu structure to reduce decision fatigue
- Extract all inline styles from mission_control.html and base.html
notification elements into mission-control.css with semantic classes
- Replace JS-built innerHTML with secure DOM construction in
notification loader and chat history
- Add CONNECTING state to connection indicator (amber) instead of
showing OFFLINE before WebSocket connects
- Add tablet breakpoint (1024px) with larger touch targets for
Apple Pencil / stylus use and safe-area padding for iPad toolbar
- Add active-link highlighting in desktop dropdown menus
- Rename "Mission Control" page title to "System Overview" to
disambiguate from the chat home page
- Add "Home — Timmy Time" page title to index.html

* fix(security): move auth-gate credentials to environment variables
Hardcoded username, password, and HMAC secret in auth-gate.py replaced
with os.environ lookups. Startup now refuses to run if any variable is
unset. Added AUTH_GATE_SECRET/USER/PASS to .env.example.

* refactor(tooling): migrate from black+isort+bandit to ruff
Replace three separate linting/formatting tools with a single ruff
invocation. Updates tox.ini (lint, format, pre-push, pre-commit envs),
.pre-commit-config.yaml, and CI workflow. Fixes all ruff errors
including unused imports, missing raise-from, and undefined names.
Ruff config maps existing bandit skips to equivalent S-rules.

* fix: name extraction blocklist, memory preview escaping, and gitignore cleanup
- Add _NAME_BLOCKLIST to extract_user_name() to reject gerunds and UI-state
words like "Sending" that were incorrectly captured as user names
- Collapse whitespace in get_memory_status() preview so newlines survive
JSON serialization without showing raw \n escape sequences
- Broaden .gitignore from specific memory/self/user_profile.md to memory/self/
and untrack memory/self/methodology.md (runtime-edited file)

* fix: catch Ollama connection errors in session.py + add 71 smoke tests
- Wrap agent.run() in session.py with try/except so Ollama connection
failures return a graceful fallback message instead of dumping raw
tracebacks to Docker logs
- Add tests/test_smoke.py with 71 tests covering every GET route:
core pages, feature pages, JSON APIs, and a parametrized no-500 sweep
— catches import errors, template failures, and schema mismatches
that unit tests miss

* feat: agentic loop for multi-step tasks + Round 10 regression fixes
Agentic loop (Parts 1-4):
- Add multi-step chaining instructions to system prompt
- New agentic_loop.py with plan→execute→adapt→summarize flow
- Register plan_and_execute tool for background task execution
- Add max_agent_steps config setting (default: 10)
- Discord fix: 300s timeout, typing indicator, send error handling
- 16 new unit + e2e tests for agentic loop
Round 10 regressions (R1-R5, P1):
- R1: Fix literal \n escape sequences in tool responses
- R2: Chat timeout/error feedback in agent panel
- R3: /hands infinite spinner → static empty states
- R4: /self-coding infinite spinner → static stats + journal
- R5: /grok/status raw JSON → HTML dashboard template
- P1: VETO confirmation dialog on task cards

* fix: briefing route 500 in CI when agno is MagicMock stub
_call_agent() returned a MagicMock instead of a string when agno is
stubbed in tests, causing SQLite "Error binding parameter 4" on save.
Ensure the return value is always an actual string.

* fix: briefing route 500 in CI — graceful degradation at route level
When agno is stubbed with MagicMock in CI, agent.run() returns a
MagicMock instead of raising — so the exception handler never fires
and a MagicMock propagates as the summary to SQLite, which can't
bind it.
Fix: catch at the route level and return a fallback Briefing object.
This follows the project's graceful degradation pattern — the briefing
page always renders, even when the backend is completely unavailable.

* CI/CD Optimization: Guard Rails, Black Linting, and Pre-commit Hooks
- Fixed all test collection errors (Selenium imports, fixture paths, syntax)
- Implemented pre-commit hooks with Black formatting and isort
- Created comprehensive Makefile with test targets (unit, integration, functional, e2e)
- Added pytest.ini with marker definitions for test categorization
- Established guard rails to prevent future collection errors
- Wrapped optional dependencies (Selenium, MoviePy) in try-except blocks
- Added conftest_markers for automatic test categorization
This ensures a smooth development stream with:
- Fast feedback loops (pre-commit checks before push)
- Consistent code formatting (Black)
- Reliable CI/CD (no collection errors, proper test isolation)
- Clear test organization (unit, integration, functional, E2E)
* Fix CI/CD test failures:
- Export templates from dashboard.app
- Fix model name assertion in test_agent.py
- Fix platform-agnostic path resolution in test_path_resolution.py
- Skip Docker tests in test_docker_deployment.py if docker not available
- Fix test_model_fallback_chain logic in test_ollama_integration.py
* Add preventative pre-commit checks and Docker test skipif decorators:
- Create pre_commit_checks.py script for common CI failures
- Add skipif decorators to Docker tests
- Improve test robustness for CI environments
