feat(chat): make Cowork a mode of the composer instead of a destination (#944) - #1193
Conversation
…on (#944) D-045 rules that Cowork is a two segment control inside the chat composer, that a run IS a conversation, and that the agent surface gets no navigation row of its own. The shipped product still had the design the owner rejected: an Agents destination you navigate to, a separate form on a page the conversation cannot see, and a run that comes back only as a row in a list. This lands the frontend half of that ruling. The composer becomes mode aware. A `Chat | Cowork` radiogroup sits immediately right of the plus button, in the same rail as the model chip. Switching it changes what the next message does and navigates nowhere, and nothing in the change path touches the draft, so a half written brief survives a toggle in either direction. Selecting Cowork grows a second row welded to the bottom of the same composer container, separated by a hairline rather than a gap, and drops the voice mode button while keeping dictation. Sending in Cowork mode starts an agent run and renders it as a conversation. That is the load bearing part: the run reuses the ordinary chat machinery rather than a parallel one, so it takes a row in the same sidebar list, opens in the same main pane, and renders in the same transcript component that renders a chat. The chat is created before the task is submitted, so a run has a row from the moment it is sent rather than only once it answers. The assistant turn carries the run state while it is queued or running and the run's own summary once it settles, and it stores the task id so reopening the conversation picks a run back up: loadChat marks any turn left mid flight as done, which is the right recovery for an interrupted completion and the wrong one for a run, because a run does not stop when the tab closes. The Agents navigation row is gone and Artifacts takes its place in the destination set, which is the other half of D-045's sidebar grammar. The /agents route itself survives, unlinked, so runs submitted before the composer mode existed are still reachable by URL. The conversation list loses its date bucket headers and its heading becomes "Chats and tasks", which is what lets a run and a chat sit in one list under one heading. New Chat becomes the sidebar's one filled primary row. Two controls the reference's second row carries are deliberately absent, for the reasons #944 sets out. The autonomy control ships with the waiting_for_confirmation collapse in engine.go or not at all, since with Auto selected there are no approval rows and the control would have no observable effect. The project or folder picker ships only if a run can be bound to a workspace or a collection, and POST /v1/agent/tasks accepts a pack and instructions and nothing else, so there is nothing for it to set. Known ceiling, named in the code: edge-api exposes a task's status and its final summary and nothing in between. There is no per step feed and no read by id, so the run is followed by polling the task list, and the inline tool lines and the Progress, Working folder and Context panel D-045 describes cannot be populated by any frontend until that endpoint exists.

Four defects on the home surface, found by querying the deployed box's DOM rather than reading a screenshot, plus one rough edge in the run path. The greeting and the four quick-start chips shipped in #1161, deployed, and were invisible. Chat.svelte's landing branch read `$settings?.landingPageMode === 'chat' || <messages exist>`, so an account that had ever flipped an upstream personalisation toggle skipped Placeholder.svelte entirely and landed on upstream's ChatPlaceholder: model name over a placeholder string, no greeting, no chips. Nothing was broken and nothing logged; a stored setting was quietly deleting two features. Hive has one home, so the toggle no longer decides whether it exists, and the Interface row that set it goes with the branch it drove rather than staying on as a control that changes nothing. The model menu overflowed the window. It anchored its left edge to the trigger and let its own width run off the right, which is what the model chip in the composer's control row does at a normal desktop width; the panel's max-width clamps how wide it can be and cannot move it back inside. It now anchors right edge to right edge when the trigger is in the right half of the window, which is what the reference does and needs no measurement, so there is still no render-then-move jump. Measured on the box before: right edge 36px past the viewport. After: inside it. The Artifacts index had no title of its own, so its empty state was the first thing on the surface and sat flush against the top of the pane. It gets a page head in the same shape the Knowledge index uses, and the states below it now sit in a column flex, which is what lets their `m-auto` centre at all. A cowork run's row was titled "New Chat". Titles are generated by a follow-up completion the run path does not make, so the conversation list stopped being readable the moment there were two runs. The row takes the brief's first line. Tests: home-surface.test.ts pins the landing branch, the greeting and chip selectors a DOM check can find, and the absence of the removed control. Placeholder.svelte and Settings/Interface.svelte join the fixture list the frontend runner copies, since the pins read their sources.
Visual proofBefore and after, same live backend (chat-hive.scubed.co), frontend swapped for this branch's own Dockerfile.open-webui build. 1) Home: the greeting and the four quick-start chips from #1161 were invisible on any account whose landingPageMode was 'chat'; DOM before [data-hive-quickstart]=NULL, .hv-greeting=NULL, after both present. 2) Model menu: right edge 36px past the viewport before, inside it after. 3) Artifacts: no title and the empty state flush at y=0 before; page title and centred state at y=526 after. Log: docs/proof/cowork-composer-mode-2026-08-25/ |
Visual proofIssue #944 acceptance. 1) Chat selected: radiogroup, chat:true cowork:false, no second row, voice mode present. 2) Cowork selected: the second row welded inside the same composer container, voice mode gone, dictation kept, the draft intact through the toggle, URL still '/'. 3) Sending in Cowork creates a conversation at /c/ and renders the run in the ordinary transcript, composer still live with Cowork still selected. 4) The run in the sidebar beside ordinary chats under one 'Chats and tasks' heading, zero date buckets. The run's terminal state is a service refusal, not a result: the agent proxy resolves the caller's Supabase OAuth token server side and there is no live oauth_session on the box right now; the same code path returned a real task list earlier in this session when one existed. Details and the DOM readings in docs/proof/cowork-composer-mode-2026-08-25/ |
Three unresolved threads on Chat.svelte: 1. followCoworkRun's timeout-exceeded write compared $chatId against itself, so the moved-away guard in applyCoworkRun never fired. Pass the captured _chatId, matching every other write in the function. 2. resumeCoworkRun picked only the oldest assistant turn carrying a hive_agent_task_id, via Object.values(...).find(...). A conversation can hold more than one run, and loadChat stamps every mid-flight turn done = true on reload, so the local done flag cannot say which ones are still going. Extracted the selection into a pure, tested helper (selectPendingCoworkTurns in coworkMode.ts) that returns every carrying turn; resumeCoworkRun now re-reads and resumes each one that comes back non-terminal, not just the first. 3. Cowork mode had nowhere to send an attachment (createTask accepts only pack + instructions) and silently dropped it from both the run and the transcript. submitHandler now refuses the submission outright when a file is attached in Cowork mode, and separately refuses a whitespace-only instructions field. Both cases fire before the composer clears its input, so the file and the typed text stay visible to the user instead of vanishing. Visual proof for the attachment refusal (new user-visible toast) posted on the PR; capture log at docs/proof/cowork-composer-mode-2026-08-25/ thread-3-attachment-refusal.md.

CodeRabbit's follow-up pass on PR #1193 caught two more issues: - +page.svelte's populated-list branch rendered its own "Artifacts" title and subtitle on top of the shared hv-panel-head added earlier in the same PR, so a visitor with any artifact saw two headings. The empty state only ever renders the shared head, which is why the earlier capture (empty state) missed it. Removed the duplicate block; the shared head is now the only title in every state. - docs/proof README: "server side" -> "server-side" as a compound adjective. Visual proof of the fix (populated state, one heading) posted on the PR; capture log at docs/proof/cowork-composer-mode-2026-08-25/ thread-4-artifacts-duplicate-heading.md.
…rphaned request_attempts, issue #1102) (#1201) ## Summary PR #1194's migration `20260825_03_usage_events_completed_dedup_and_rescale_backfill.sql` has failed on every deploy since it merged. `deploy-demo-box` run 32912034013 (and one run since) hit: ``` psql:.../20260825_03_...sql:227: ERROR: insert or update on table "usage_events" violates foreign key constraint "usage_events_request_attempt_id_fkey" DETAIL: Key (request_attempt_id)=(819cc2ad-d657-4419-9731-349b43675ecf) is not present in table "request_attempts". ``` Nothing has reached the box since, including PR #1193 (Cowork composer mode). ## Root cause The live database already holds `usage_events` rows whose `request_attempt_id` no longer has a matching `request_attempts` row. This is **issue #1102**, not a new defect: a retention purge deletes `request_attempts` rows without going through the FK's own `ON DELETE CASCADE` trigger (it bypasses it rather than the FK being misconfigured). Live count 2026-08-25: 483 orphaned `usage_events` rows spanning 2026-04-01 through 2026-08-18 — an ongoing, ordinary state of this table, not a one-off. The migration was validated against a throwaway database with none of these orphans, so the defect never showed up before merge. Step 2 (the ledger-reconciliation UPDATE) is what trips it: reproducibly isolated via a rolled-back replay against the live data (confirmed twice, byte-identical error and row). ## Was the live database left in a bad state? No. Verified directly against the live box before writing any fix: - The migration wraps `BEGIN`/`COMMIT` around the whole file and every failed deploy attempt rolled back cleanly: the 604 duplicate `'completed'` pairs Step 1 processes were still fully present afterward (unmerged), and the Step 3 unique index (`ux_usage_events_completed_attempt`) did not exist. - The file was never recorded in `public.hive_schema_migrations` (empty result on every check), so it was safe to amend in place rather than ship as a new migration. ## Fix Step 2's `WHERE` clause now requires the row's `request_attempt_id` to still have a live `request_attempts` parent: ```sql AND EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM public.request_attempts ra WHERE ra.id = ue.request_attempt_id ) ``` A row with no live parent is skipped, not silently reconciled — there is nothing left to reconcile it against with confidence either way. Step 1's dedup UPDATE/DELETE needed no change: it was proven safe against the same live orphaned data in two independent rolled-back replays before this fix was written. Fixing the retention purge itself is issue #1102's job, tracked separately (extend the purge to cascade/null the referencing rows, or an owner decision to drop constraint enforcement). Out of scope here. ## Verification - Isolated the failing statement on live production data via rolled-back transactions (`BEGIN; ...; ROLLBACK;`), never committing a probe. - Confirmed the fixed Step 2 (with the `EXISTS` guard) completes the full Step 1 + Step 2 sequence against the real orphaned live data without error, in a rolled-back replay. - Added `TestMigrationSurvivesOrphanedRequestAttempt`: builds a real reservation + duplicate `'completed'` write + stale pre-rescale credit delta through the actual services, deletes its `request_attempts` row while bypassing the cascade trigger (reproducing issue #1102's exact live shape), then executes the real on-disk migration file via the Postgres simple query protocol (same execution path `psql -f` uses) against a from-scratch, fully-migrated local Postgres 17 test database. Asserts no error and that the orphaned row is left untouched, not reconciled. - Negative-controlled the new test twice: against the original unpatched migration it fails, first because the guard predicate text is missing (static check), and — before that check was tightened to a precise string — because the orphaned row silently got reconciled instead of skipped. Restored the fixed file and reran; the full `internal/accounting` suite (30 tests) and the full `apps/control-plane` short suite (55 packages) pass. ## Test plan - [x] `go build ./apps/control-plane/...` - [x] `go vet ./apps/control-plane/...` - [x] `go test ./apps/control-plane/internal/accounting/... -v` against a from-scratch, fully-migrated local Postgres 17 (all 30 tests pass, including the new one and its #1180 sibling) - [x] `go test -short ./apps/control-plane/...` (55 packages, all pass) - [x] Fixed Step 1 + Step 2 sequence replayed against real live orphaned data on the demo box in a rolled-back transaction, reaches completion with no FK error - [x] Negative control: new test fails against the original unpatched migration file - [ ] Live deploy: merging should unblock `deploy-demo-box`, confirm the triggered run succeeds Buglog entry included in the commit message body per `.wolf/`'s buglog-lands-on-main convention; will be appended to `main` in a separate buglog-only PR once this merges. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
…1202) Follow-up to #1193, which made Cowork a mode of the composer and rendered a run as a conversation turn. Between submit and completion that turn showed nothing, which reads as a hang. ## The gap was frontend only The comment left in `coworkMode.ts` said the wire had no per-step feed. It has had one since #1073 merged: - agent-engine emits real per-step events, mapped from OpenHands `ActionEvent`, `ObservationEvent`, `MessageEvent` and `AgentErrorEvent`, with an unmapped class deliberately landing as a `status` event carrying the raw payload rather than being dropped. - control-plane stores them and serves `GET /internal/agent-tasks/{id}` and `/events` behind an `after_seq` cursor. - edge-api exposes `GET /v1/agent/tasks/{id}` and `/events`, FeatureCowork gated. - The chat proxy already routed `get_task` and `list_task_events`, with UUID and cursor validation. `vendor/open-webui/src/lib/hive/agentTasks.ts` had `listTasks`, `createTask` and `cancelTask` and nothing else, so the run turn polled the whole task list and rendered no steps. ## What this changes **`agentTasks.ts`**: `getTask` and `getTaskEvents`, matching the proxy's contract. The cursor and limit are floored to plain non-negative integers, which is exactly what `hive_agent_proxy.py` accepts and the only shape that avoids a 400. `decodeEvent` keeps an event whose kind this build does not recognise, the way `decodeTask` already keeps an unrecognised status, because the backend goes out of its way not to drop an unmapped upstream class and dropping it at the last hop would undo that. **The follower**: reads one task by id instead of listing every task the user owns and filtering it, which was the ponytail note in the code. Each poll then asks for events strictly after the highest seq the turn already carries. That seq is read off the stored lines, so a conversation reopened in another tab resumes where it left off instead of re-reading the run from zero. A full page means more is behind it and the loop asks again, bounded at five pages per read. **The rendering**: events fold into muted lines on the same `statusHistory` field the chat path already uses for "Searching the web" and "Retrieved 3 sources". No new component, no branch in the transcript, and the treatment is the one the parity review found already matched the reference product. A tool call and its result join on `tool_call_id` into one line, which shimmers while the call is open. ## Honesty properties, each with a test - Nothing renders that the backend did not send. No optimistic step, no synthesised progress. A `status` row that only repeats the task's own state contributes no line rather than a placeholder. - A payload the backend replaced with its truncation marker says so, and says the size. A preview sitting exactly on the 2000-rune cap is reported as shortened rather than shown as though complete: the cap leaves no marker behind, so the boundary is the only evidence there is. - A terminal run settles every line still open, so nothing shimmers under a turn that says the task finished. The text is not rewritten, because what is known is that the step stopped, not that it succeeded. - An event kind this build has never met still produces a line. - The events read is best effort and the status read is the authority: a failed event fetch keeps the lines already on screen and never erases real progress with a transport failure. ## Not regressed, and pinned by tests The three behaviours #1193's review fixed: the `_chatId` navigation guard, resuming every pending run rather than the oldest (`selectPendingCoworkTurns`), and the clean refusal when files are attached in Cowork mode. ## Tests `scripts/test-owui-hive-frontend.sh`: 175 passing, up from 147. Svelte compile pass green for all 13 Hive components; `Chat.svelte` compiled separately with the image build's pinned svelte 5.56.0 after TypeScript preprocessing. Visual proof follows in a comment.
…b) (#1205) ## Summary - Verifies #1202's per-step progress rendering and #1193's composer mode against a real deployed sandbox run, not the local `agent_stub.py` #1202's own capture disclosed using (the three blockers that stub named are gone: the demo box now carries #1193/#1202/#1203, the box is not WSL2, and a live session could be minted). - Toggle, draft preservation, real sandbox launch, settle behaviour, and mid-run reload cursor resume all verified working. - Per-step progress does **not** hold up against a real run: the substantive 58-second work window produced zero new events, and the six lines that did land are mostly dead text or noise. Zero `tool_call`/`tool_result`/`error` events appeared despite real terminal and file-editor tool use.

…1233) Closes the wiring half of the 2026-08-25 evening rescore findings on the chat home (greeting and quick-start chips "merged, deployed, invisible"). **Ground truth on main, verified before editing:** the mount was already correct. `Chat.svelte`'s landing branch mounts `Placeholder.svelte` for every empty conversation since #1193 removed the `landingPageMode` bypass, and `home-surface.test.ts` pins it. The rescore snapshot predates that fix. What remained open was the dead duplication that produced the misdiagnosis, and the missing build-time signal. **This PR:** - Deletes `ChatPlaceholder.svelte`. Its only mount, `Messages.svelte`'s empty-history branch, contradicts `Chat.svelte`'s own landing condition (Messages renders only when the message list is non-empty), so the component was unreachable. One placeholder now. - `Messages.svelte` keeps rendering its content iff history has messages; dead branch and import removed. - The `Dockerfile.open-webui` bundle check now also requires `hv-greeting` and `data-hive-quickstart` in `/app/build/_app/immutable`, so a future mount or wiring regression fails the image build instead of surfacing only as a silent absence on the live box. **Verification (all against this branch):** - Image build green (`BUILD_EXIT=0`), vendored vitest suite passing (14 files, `home-surface.test.ts` 5/5), extended bundle assertions passing (`hive: shell present, removed surfaces absent`). - Standalone container render of `/`: `.hv-greeting` = "Good morning, Chatwire Verify", four `[data-hive-quickstart]` chips (Code, Write, Explain, Analyze).

…1735) Closes #1065. Closes #847 was already done before this branch; see the ground-truth section below. Changed from `Refs` to `Closes` after the independent security review judged both halves delivered, and checked rather than accepted: #1065's own acceptance text is two sentences, and both are now satisfied. The chat half, a file attached in chat reaching the model in the same turn, was already true on `main` and is verified rather than assumed. The Cowork half, a file existing inside the sandbox and listing in the panel, is proven on a real Apptainer launch below. One thing not shown as a pixel, so the claim stays checkable: the Working folder is proven through the route the panel calls, `GET /v1/agent/tasks/{id}/files`, rather than by a screenshot of the panel rendering the row. This pull request does not touch that renderer. ## Ground truth first, because the issue names two surfaces **Chat half: already fixed, verified twice, not re-broken by this branch.** #1065 cites #847 as its chat-side symptom. #847 was closed on 2026-08-30 after a live re-measurement on 2026-08-29 against `c9e1419b`: an attachment uploaded, processed, and its content reached the model in the same turn with a citation. The `File not found.` literal it was named for is gone from every one of the five composers that carried the copy-pasted handler, and `chat-noise-guards.test.ts` pins its absence. PR #1707, merged earlier today, exercised the same manual attach path again while proving something else. So the chat composer needs no code change, and this branch makes none to it beyond the Work-mode branch of the shared submit handler. **Cowork half: genuinely broken, and this is it.** The break is one line, and it is the shape this repository keeps producing. | Step | State on `main` | |---|---| | A file is attached in the composer while Work mode is selected | Uploads fine. The plus menu, the size cap and the extraction all work; Work mode shares the composer with chat. | | The person presses send | `submitHandler` (`vendor/open-webui/src/lib/components/chat/Chat.svelte:2569`) refuses: *"Attachments are not supported in Work mode yet."* | | The refusal's stated reason | Accurate. `createTask` sent `{pack, instructions}` and nothing else (`vendor/open-webui/src/lib/hive/agentTasks.ts:282`), `POST /v1/agent/tasks` decoded exactly those two fields plus `project_id` (`apps/edge-api/internal/agenttask/handler.go:135`), and `Remote.Launch` put five keys on the wire, none of them a document (`apps/control-plane/internal/agentengine/remote.go:67`). | | Where a document would have to land | `workingDir` in `SandboxEngine.Launch` (`apps/agent-engine/internal/engine/engine.go:632`), the directory bind mounted as `/workspace`. Nothing but `materializePack` ever wrote to it. | So there was no reader because there was no writer, and no writer because there was nothing on the wire to write. The refusal was the only honest thing in the chain. ## What now reaches the sandbox The document's extracted text, written to a real file in the agent's working directory before the conversation starts, and the file's name on the run's initial message so the agent knows to open it. The chain, one thin hop per layer: * `Chat.svelte` gathers the attachments **before** the composer is cleared, so a refusal costs the person neither their prompt nor their chips, and renders the same file chips on the user turn a chat turn renders. * `coworkAttachments.ts` (new, Hive authored, unit tested) reads each file's extracted text back from `GET /api/v1/files/{id}`, refuses what the sandbox cannot resolve, and enforces the count and byte caps in the browser so the person is told before the send rather than by a 400. * `hive_agent_proxy.py` rebuilds the list field by field, the way it already rebuilds `pack` and `instructions`, and never forwards the submitted body wholesale. * `apps/edge-api/internal/agenttask` validates, then forwards. Validation runs ahead of the project check and the solvency gate, so a request that cannot be honoured never takes a credit hold and never creates a row. * `apps/control-plane/internal/agenttask` carries them on the in-memory `Task`, exactly where `BearerJWT` and `LLMAPIKey` already live, and **does not persist them**. A task row is a control record, not a copy of the customer's documents. * Both arms of `buildAgentEngine` hand the engine the same task: `Remote.Launch` puts them on the `/launch` body, and the in-process `agentengine.Engine` converts them too, so a deployment cannot quietly lose attachments depending on how it is wired. * `apps/agent-engine/internal/engine/attachments.go` (new) writes them into `workingDir` through an `os.Root`, after `materializePack`, with `O_EXCL`. ## Why the text travels inline, and the ceiling that buys The sandbox is behind `--network none` with an egress proxy in front of it. It holds no Hive credential and has no route to the object storage a chat attachment lives in, so something has to hand it the bytes. The browser that uploaded them is the one party already authorized to read them, which is why the text rides the create request rather than a file id the sandbox would have to resolve. That means no new read path, no new permission, and no widening of who can see whose documents. It also means a bound: five attachments, 256 KiB of combined text, refused with a message rather than truncated. Truncation would hand the agent a document that stops mid sentence and let it answer confidently from half a file, which is the same silent-failure class this issue is about. The upgrade path, when a run needs a 25 MB PDF verbatim, is for the launcher to fetch the document itself, and that needs a credential and a route it does not have today. The number is written down in three places that must agree, each pointing at `apps/edge-api/internal/agenttask/handler.go` as the one that enforces it. ## Retrieval scope: untouched, stated explicitly This adds no retrieval. It does not read `public.rag_documents`, does not touch `/v1/rag/*`, does not resolve a collection, and does not call `get_sources_from_items`. A Cowork run gets the bytes the submitting person's own browser already held and nothing else. In particular it neither helps nor worsens **#1643**, the tenant readable RAG store: that issue keeps its full scope. The project half of this problem, a run consulting a Project's documents, is **#1312** and task 8 of the Projects unification spec, and both still own it. Wiring a `project_id` retrieval into the launcher here would have meant exactly the widening #1643 warns about, on a path with no ownership check written yet. ## Untrusted input, since this is a file path and a model prompt * **A name is not a path.** `../escape.txt`, `nested/file.txt`, `.`, `..`, a backslash, a control character and anything over 255 bytes are refused, in the browser, at the proxy, at edge-api and again in the launcher. The launcher checks it a fourth time on purpose: it is the process that turns a name into a path, and it does not trust the three hops above it, exactly as it already does for `Task.Pack`. **That four-hop claim is about the name and nothing else**, stated here because it reads as covering more. The count and the 256 KiB total are enforced in the browser and in edge-api's `validateAttachments` and nowhere after that, so past edge-api the only bound left is the body reader. Deliberate: a second copy of the quantity policy in control-plane would be the two disagreeing copies that package already refuses to keep for packs, and that surface is behind `RequireInternalToken` rather than customer reachable. The comment at the field says the same thing. * **A name is not a sentence either.** The names go on the run's initial message, and a file name is free text with a small alphabet removed: refusing separators and control characters takes the line break away and nothing else. Each name is written with `%q`, so it arrives quoted, a quote inside it is escaped, and it cannot terminate its own line. `TestSandboxEngine_Launch_FencesTheAttachmentNameInThePrompt` uses a name shaped like an instruction. * **One person's keypress is one run.** Gathering the attachments before the composer is cleared is what keeps a refusal from costing someone their message, and it put the first `await` on the cowork path in front of the clear. A second Enter in that window meant two `createTask` calls and two credit holds. `coworkGatherInFlight`, released in a `finally` before the clear, closes it without holding the flag through the send, which would have broken the message queue path underneath. * **A traversal that the string check cannot see.** Every write goes through `os.Root` confined to `workingDir`, so a symlinked subdirectory cannot be crossed even if a name got past the check. * **A name cannot replace a pack file.** The pack is planted first and every attachment is created `O_EXCL`. An attachment called `AGENTS.md` is kept as `AGENTS-1.md`; it does not overwrite the pack's own instructions with user supplied text, which would be both a broken pack and a very short path to a prompt injection. The rename is bounded. * **Content is untrusted, and stays that way.** It is written to a file, not spliced into the system prompt. Only the file names go on the initial message, which is the same untrusted-document posture the pack's own handling already carries and which `listWorkspaceFiles` already reasons about. * **Credentials.** Nothing new is logged. The launcher's existing `redactCredentials` on the launch error path is unchanged and still covers both keys that request carries. ## Tests Red first, and red for the right reason: every new assertion reads the value back at the far end rather than checking that it was sent. * `apps/agent-engine/internal/engine/attachments_test.go` reads the attachment's **content** out of the directory the launch bind mounts as `/workspace`, asserts it appears in the working folder listing with the right size, asserts a colliding name leaves the pack's `AGENTS.md` byte for byte intact and keeps the attachment anyway, asserts seven malformed names each fail the launch and leave no working directory behind, and asserts the initial message names the file without carrying its content. * `apps/control-plane/internal/agentengine/remote_test.go` decodes the actual `/launch` body a fake daemon received, which is the seam this defect class breaks at, and asserts the key is absent when the task has no attachments so an older launcher sees the body it always did. * `apps/edge-api/internal/agenttask/attachments_test.go` asserts what reached control-plane, and that each refusal happens with `createCalled` still false, so a bad request cannot take a hold. * `vendor/open-webui/src/lib/hive/coworkAttachments.test.ts` covers the content read, both places the text can already be, the four refusals, and that the cap is measured in bytes rather than code units, since a Bengali or emoji-heavy document is three times its string length. * One stale guard retired with its reason recorded: `coworkMode.test.ts` pinned the blanket refusal string as a fixed behaviour from the #1193 review. It is no longer a behaviour, and leaving it would have made this fix unmergeable for a reason the file did not explain. ## Proven end to end on a real Apptainer sandbox Written after the fact, because the pull request originally said this could not be shown before merge. That was true of the development box and not of CI. `agent-visual-proof.yml` stands the real thing up per run from `refs/pull/1735/merge`; a scenario was added to its harness and dispatched at this pull request. Run 33668985745, `success`: ``` the sandbox workspace holds service-record.txt carrying HIVE-1065-68985745 GET /v1/agent/tasks/{id}/files answered HTTP 200: {"files":[{"name":".git","size":4096,...},{"name":"service-record.txt","size":66,...}]} scenario attachment-reaches-the-sandbox: ok ``` Both halves of the issue's Cowork acceptance criterion, on a real launch: the file exists inside the sandbox, asserted on its content and on a string generated for that run, and it lists in the Working folder through the customer route the panel itself calls. Detail, including the two false negatives the scenario hit first, is in a comment below. ## Filed rather than fixed here Three, all from the security review, all either pre-existing or latent, none of them a reason to widen this diff. * **#1750**, an attachment named `AGENTS.md` becomes the agent's project instructions if a pack ever ships without one. Today it collides with a pack-planted file and is renamed, so the protection is the pack's rather than the writer's. Latent, not present. * **#1751**, the message queue replays a Work mode submission as a chat completion and now replays its attachments with it. The mode blindness is #944 and predates this change; attachments make an existing wrong path visible. * **#1752**, each unbounded launch goroutine (#900) now retains up to 256 KiB. A constant factor on an unbounded count, worth recording for whoever sizes #900. ## What this pull request does not do * It does not give a Cowork run a Project's documents. That is #1312 and needs an ownership check on `project_id` in Go. * It does not move the 25 MB chat upload ceiling into Work mode. See the ceiling section. * It does not change the chat surface's attachment behaviour at all. ## Buglog entry ```json {"id":"bug-1065-cowork-attachment-never-reaches-sandbox","date":"2026-09-02","title":"A file attached in the composer could not be given to a Cowork run at all","error_message":"Attachments are not supported in Work mode yet.

Closes #944.
What this is
D-045 rules that Cowork is a two segment control inside the chat composer, that a run IS a conversation, and that the agent surface gets no navigation row of its own. The shipped product still had the design the owner rejected: an Agents destination you navigate to, a separate form on a page the conversation cannot see, and a run that comes back only as a row in a list. This lands the frontend half of that ruling.
The composer becomes mode aware
A
Chat | Coworkradiogroup sits immediately right of the plus button, in the same rail as the model chip. It is aradiogroupwith tworadiochildren rather than two buttons, so it announces as "Chat, selected, 1 of 2" and moves with the arrow keys, with a roving tabindex so Tab moves past the control rather than through it. Switching it changes what the next message does and navigates nowhere. Nothing in the change path touches the draft, so a half written brief survives a toggle in either direction.Selecting Cowork grows a second row welded to the bottom of the same composer container, separated by a hairline rather than a gap, and drops the voice mode button while keeping dictation.
A run rendered as a conversation
This is the load bearing part. The run reuses the ordinary chat machinery rather than a parallel one: the same
history, the sameinitChatHandlerthat creates the chat and puts it in the sidebar list, the samesaveChatHandlerthat persists it, and the same transcript component that renders a chat. The chat is created before the task is submitted, so a run takes a row in the conversation list from the moment it is sent rather than only once it answers.The assistant turn carries the run's state while it is queued or running and the run's own summary once it settles, and it stores the task id, so reopening the conversation picks a run back up.
loadChatmarks any assistant turn left mid flight as done, which is the right recovery for an interrupted completion and the wrong one for a run, because a run does not stop when the tab closes.Sidebar grammar that goes with it
The Agents navigation row is gone and Artifacts takes its place in the destination set, which is the other half of D-045's sidebar grammar and had an index shipped by #1141 with nothing linking to it. The
/agentsroute itself survives, unlinked, so runs submitted before the composer mode existed are still reachable by URL. The conversation list loses its date bucket headers and its heading becomes "Chats and tasks", which is exactly what #944's second acceptance criterion needs: a run and a chat in one list under one heading. New Chat becomes the sidebar's one filled primary row.Knowledge keeps its row for now, and the file says why rather than leaving a silent contradiction with D-045 ruling 2: Projects cannot hold RAG collections yet, so removing the row today would take the only route to them away and put nothing in its place, which is the failure mode #944 warns about for the Agents row.
What is deliberately not here, and why
Two controls the reference's second row carries are absent, for the reasons #944 sets out itself:
waiting_for_confirmationcollapse inengine.goor not at all. With Auto selected there are no approval rows, so shipping it now would be a control with no observable effect.POST /v1/agent/tasksacceptspackandinstructionsand nothing else, so there is nothing for it to set, and a picker that sets nothing is worse than no picker.The Pack control is deleted rather than moved.
agent_kindstill carries the distinction on the wire; the Home composer in Cowork mode sends the knowledge work pack, and the coding pack belongs to a Code panel this shell does not have.Backend ceiling, named rather than worked around
edge-api exposes a task's status and its final
result_summary_refand nothing in between. There is no per step or event feed and no read by id. Two consequences, both marked in the code with the upgrade path:GET /v1/agent/tasksand filtering, because there is noGET /v1/agent/tasks/{id}. Fine at demo volume, wrong at scale.This PR is frontend only by instruction:
vendor/open-webui/src/and nothing else. No.py, noowui-patches/, no Go, noapps/web-console/, no CI config.Verification
scripts/test-owui-hive-frontend.sh: 13 files, 139 tests passed, and all 13 Hive components compile against svelte@5.56.0, the version the image build resolves.coworkMode.test.ts, 19 cases. Pure helpers for the mode, the pack derivation, the radiogroup's key handling and the run-to-turn projection, plus source pins asserting the toggle is mounted immediately after the plus button, that the second row appears only in Cowork, that voice mode drops and dictation does not, and that the submit path branches on the mode and goes through the ordinary chat machinery. The source pins are the ones that matter here: a correct module nobody mounted is the failure a unit test over pure helpers cannot see.nav.test.tsupdated: it now asserts the absence of an Agents row and the presence of Artifacts, rather than the reverse.Visual proof

Second commit: four home-surface defects found by querying the deployed DOM
These came out of a live re-score of the box and are folded in here because they
are the same surface and the same build.
The chat home was gone on some accounts. The greeting and the four
quick-start chips shipped in #1161, deployed, and were invisible.
Chat.svelte'slanding branch read
$settings?.landingPageMode === 'chat' || <messages exist>,so an account that had ever flipped an upstream personalisation toggle skipped
Placeholder.svelteentirely and landed on upstream'sChatPlaceholder: modelname over a placeholder string, no greeting, no chips. Nothing was broken and
nothing logged; a stored setting was quietly deleting two features. Measured on
the box before this branch:
[data-hive-quickstart]null,.hv-greetingnull.Both components were correct and both were mounted, so this is not dead code in
the wrong component: it is a branch reached by nobody. Hive has one home, so
landingPageModeno longer decides whether it exists, and the Interface row thatset it goes with the branch it drove rather than staying on as a control that
changes nothing.
The model menu overflowed the window. It anchored its left edge to the
trigger and let its own width run off the right, which is what the model chip in
the composer's control row does at a normal desktop width; the panel's
max-widthclamps how wide it can be and cannot move it back inside. It nowanchors right edge to right edge when the trigger is in the right half of the
window, which is what the reference does and needs no measurement of the menu,
so there is still no render-then-move jump. Before: right edge 36px past the
viewport. After: inside it.
The Artifacts index had no title, so its empty state was the first thing on
the surface and sat flush at the top of the pane. It gets a page head in the same
shape the Knowledge index uses, and the states below it now sit in a column flex,
which is what lets their
m-autocentre at all. Before: title null, first childat y=0. After: title present, first child at y=526.
A cowork run's row was titled "New Chat." Titles are generated by a follow-up
completion the run path does not make, so the conversation list stopped being
readable the moment there were two runs. The row takes the brief's first line.
The Knowledge contradiction, recorded rather than resolved
D-045 ruling 2 eliminates Knowledge as a destination in favour of Projects and
Artifacts. #1184 gave Knowledge a real destination in the shell, deliberately, to
close a dead-nav bug (#1109). The fork therefore contradicts its own governing
decision right now. This PR does not resolve that: it leaves the row alone and
says so in
nav.ts, because Projects cannot hold RAG collections yet andremoving the row today would take the only route to them away and put nothing in
its place, which is the failure mode #944 warns about for the Agents row. Flagged
for the owner rather than settled here.
