fix(websocket): preserve invalid listener detection

fix(websocket): stop treating SO_ACCEPTCONN as portable in listener health check
`_listener_is_serving()` probes `SO_ACCEPTCONN` to decide whether a bound socket is still accepting connections. That option is not portable: macOS and the BSDs raise `OSError` with `ENOPROTOOPT` ("Protocol not available") for it even on a perfectly healthy listening socket. The surrounding `except OSError: return False` swallows that error, so the listener is reported as degraded on every check. `_serve_forever()` then raises `_ListenerUnavailableError("WebSocket listener did not enter a serving state")`, and because `_is_recoverable_listener_error()` classifies that exception as recoverable, the channel retries forever (4s -> 8s -> 16s -> 30s backoff) and never becomes ready. On macOS this leaves the gateway permanently at `ready: false` with the WebUI unreachable, since the WebSocket channel is enabled by default. Reproduced on macOS 26.5.1 / Python 3.14.3: >>> s = socket.socket(); s.bind(("127.0.0.1", 0)); s.listen(1) >>> s.getsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_ACCEPTCONN) OSError: [Errno 42] Protocol not available Extract `_socket_is_accepting()` and treat `ENOPROTOOPT` / `EOPNOTSUPP` / `EINVAL` as "this platform cannot answer the question", falling back to the file-descriptor liveness check that already guarded the expression. Other `OSError`s still propagate, and a closed socket is still rejected via the `fileno() < 0` short circuit, so Linux behaviour is unchanged.

-Create a memory overview for only the final {{ archive_count }} conversation messages immediately before this instruction. Earlier messages are context for resolving references; do not summarize them again.
+Create a compact replacement checkpoint for this session.

-Use [skip] unless a fact meets all SNIP criteria:
- Signal: would the user need to repeat this if forgotten?
- Novel: not just a restatement of another fact in this same conversation chunk
- Important: prevents rework or captures preferences / rules
- Persistent: still relevant after 2 weeks
+When `[Archived Context Summary]` appears in the system prompt, update that previous checkpoint to reflect the current conversation state.

-Format each fact as:
- [mark] fact content
+## Merge rules

-Marks (choose the best match):
- [permanent] Core preferences, personal traits, habits — never becomes stale
- [durable] Technical discoveries, project knowledge, config details — valid for months
- [ephemeral] Active task state, temporary decisions — may change in weeks
- [correction] Correction to a previous memory — state what changed
- [skip] Conversational filler, code/source facts derivable from the repo, or audit-only breadcrumbs
+- Use the latest correction or decision as the current version of a fact, and merge duplicates.
+- Preserve exact names, identifiers, paths, commands, decisions, results, and unresolved blockers when they are needed to continue the session.
+- Retain a fact already present in long-term memory when it is needed for session continuity.

+## What to retain

-Do not output facts already present in the system prompt's Recent History.
+Always retain a compact working-state handoff:
+- active objective
+- current status
+- completed results that constrain later work
+- unresolved blockers
+- next action
+- exact identifiers needed for that action

-Do not mark something [skip] merely because it might already exist in long-term memory.
+Mark working-state facts `[ephemeral]`.

-Return only formatted fact lines, or `(nothing)` if nothing noteworthy happened.
+For other facts, retain a candidate only when it meets all four SNIP criteria:
+- Signal: remembering it saves the user from repeating it
+- Novel: it adds a distinct fact to this checkpoint
+- Important: losing it would cause rework or discard a preference or rule
+- Persistent: it is expected to remain useful for at least two weeks
+
+Assign each retained fact its best current mark:
+- `[permanent]` for core preferences, personal traits, and habits that remain relevant indefinitely
+- `[durable]` for technical discoveries, project knowledge, and configuration that remains valid for months
+- `[ephemeral]` for active task state and temporary decisions that may change within weeks
+- `[correction]` for the current fact that supersedes conflicting earlier long-term memory
+
+When space is limited, prioritize user corrections and preferences, then solutions, decisions, events, and environment facts.

+## Output

 ## Discovery and Reading

- Use `find_files` or `list_dir` to locate workspace paths before `read_file` when a path is uncertain.
- Use `grep` for content search inside the workspace; prefer it over shell grep for ordinary searches.
- `grep` defaults to `output_mode="files_with_matches"`; use `output_mode="content"` for matching lines with context.
+- Use `find_files` or `list_dir` for uncertain paths, `grep` for content, and `read_file` for a known path.
+- `grep` returns matches with five context lines by default; use `files_with_matches` for paths or `count` for totals.
 - Use `fixed_strings=true` for literal keywords containing regex characters.
- Use `output_mode="count"` to size a broad search before reading full matches.
 - Use `head_limit` and `offset` to page across large result sets.
 - Search tools enforce binary and file-size limits and report skipped files in the result.

  result with its original consumer or checker when one is available.
 - Use `apply_patch` as the default code editing tool, especially for multi-file changes, structural edits, generated code, moves, adds, or deletes.
 - Use `apply_patch dry_run=true` when the patch is uncertain and you want validation plus a change summary before writing.
- Use `edit_file` only for small exact replacements in one file, with `old_text` copied from `read_file`; when editing a specific numbered line, pass that exact line as `line_hint`; add `occurrence` or `expected_replacements` when ambiguity matters.
+- Use `edit_file` only for small exact replacements in one file, with `old_text` copied from `read_file`.
 - Use `write_file` for new files or intentional full-file rewrites, not routine partial edits.
 - If `apply_patch` or `edit_file` fails, re-read with `force=true`, narrow the context, and try a smaller patch rather than switching to shell `sed` or `echo`.

 ## Process Execution

- Use `exec` for tests, builds, package commands, git commands, and other process execution.
- Prefer dedicated file/search tools over `cat`, shell `find`, shell `grep`, `sed`, or `echo` for ordinary workspace inspection and edits.
- Use non-interactive flags such as `-y` or `--yes` when available.
- Commands have a configurable timeout (default 60s), dangerous commands are blocked, and output is truncated.
- For long-running or interactive commands, pass `yield_time_ms`; if the process keeps running, continue with `write_stdin`.
- Use `write_stdin` to poll, provide stdin, close stdin, wait for expected output with `wait_for`, or terminate an existing exec session.
- Use `list_exec_sessions` to recover active session IDs after context shifts.
+- Use `exec` for processes, not file inspection or editing.
+- For interaction or early output, set `yield_time_ms` and continue with `exec_session` (`until_exit=true` when no further input is needed).
+- Use `list_exec_sessions` to recover session IDs.

Xubin Ren	22cbfc2fb5	fix(websocket): preserve invalid listener detection	2026-09-01 11:14:34 +08:00
Krislu1221andXubin Ren	bd9b74e2c7	fix(websocket): stop treating SO_ACCEPTCONN as portable in listener health check `_listener_is_serving()` probes `SO_ACCEPTCONN` to decide whether a bound socket is still accepting connections. That option is not portable: macOS and the BSDs raise `OSError` with `ENOPROTOOPT` ("Protocol not available") for it even on a perfectly healthy listening socket. The surrounding `except OSError: return False` swallows that error, so the listener is reported as degraded on every check. `_serve_forever()` then raises `_ListenerUnavailableError("WebSocket listener did not enter a serving state")`, and because `_is_recoverable_listener_error()` classifies that exception as recoverable, the channel retries forever (4s -> 8s -> 16s -> 30s backoff) and never becomes ready. On macOS this leaves the gateway permanently at `ready: false` with the WebUI unreachable, since the WebSocket channel is enabled by default. Reproduced on macOS 26.5.1 / Python 3.14.3: >>> s = socket.socket(); s.bind(("127.0.0.1", 0)); s.listen(1) >>> s.getsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_ACCEPTCONN) OSError: [Errno 42] Protocol not available Extract `_socket_is_accepting()` and treat `ENOPROTOOPT` / `EOPNOTSUPP` / `EINVAL` as "this platform cannot answer the question", falling back to the file-descriptor liveness check that already guarded the expression. Other `OSError`s still propagate, and a closed socket is still rejected via the `fileno() < 0` short circuit, so Linux behaviour is unchanged.	2026-09-01 11:14:34 +08:00
chengyongruandchengyongru	3c25f826ea	fix(telegram): detect unsupported rich stream edits	2026-08-31 18:39:35 +08:00
Nolanandchengyongru	195e4c281d	fix(telegram): preserve final-edit retry contract in rich stream upgrade Address review feedback on the rich edit error classification: - Transport, rate-limit, and unexpected errors now propagate instead of returning False. Returning False made send_delta fall through to an immediate legacy edit_message_text, which under connection-pool exhaustion doubled demand and discarded the buffered retry state that ChannelManager relies on. - 'Message is not modified' is treated as success: when the rich edit is applied server-side but its response times out, the retry inside _call_with_retry reports the edit as already applied, and the previous BadRequest branch would have let the legacy edit overwrite the successful rich result. - False is now returned only for capability errors (pre-10.1 servers, which still trip the rich latch) and content-shaped rejections, where the legacy HTML path is the intended fallback. Adds regression coverage for a direct NetworkError (propagates, buffer kept for manager retry) and TimedOut followed by Message-is-not-modified (treated as success, no legacy overwrite).	2026-08-31 18:39:35 +08:00
Nolanandchengyongru	37663ac947	fix(telegram): upgrade streaming preview to rich in place at stream end The rich branch in send_delta(stream_end=True) was unreachable: it was guarded by 'not buf.message_id' after an earlier return had already ensured buf.message_id is set, so sendRichMessage never fired with streaming enabled and the final message always went through the legacy HTML editMessageText path. Bot API 10.1 added a rich_message parameter to editMessageText, which upgrades an existing message to rich in place. Use it at stream end via do_api_request so the streaming preview keeps its identity — no delete-and-resend, so none of the flickering or dropped line breaks that made rich-at-stream-end fail in #4470. Capability errors (server older than 10.1) trip the existing _rich_send_disabled latch and fall back to the legacy HTML path, which is unchanged. Fixes #5516	2026-08-31 18:39:35 +08:00

Till AdamandXubin Ren	f573ecfe56	perf(email): fetch headers before body, use UID SEARCH to skip re-fetch The IMAP poll loop previously downloaded the entire message body for every UNSEEN message before running any filter (self-sent, SPF/DKIM, allow-list), and only learned the UID by parsing it back out of that fetch response. Rejected messages stay unseen and get re-fetched in full on every subsequent poll. Switch to UID SEARCH (UIDs come back directly, no per-message fetch needed to learn them) so already-processed UIDs are skipped before any network fetch, then fetch headers only to evaluate every filter — the full body is downloaded only for messages that pass every check and are actually delivered. No behavior change: filter outcomes and \Seen semantics are unchanged.	2026-08-30 17:38:44 +08:00

zpljd258andchengyongru	a8ffe0f136	fix(webui): project generated titles onto per-chat sessions under unifiedSession With unifiedSession enabled, all turns are routed to the shared unified:default session, so title generation, persistence, and change notifications all happen on that shared session. The WebUI sidebar, however, renders per-chat websocket:<id> sessions, so generated titles never reach the session the user sees and every chat stays "Untitled". Pass the origin chat_id through maybe_generate_webui_title_after_turn and add a target_session_key to maybe_generate_webui_title so the title is written to the per-chat session while conversation content still comes from the shared (routed) session. When the routed session differs from the per-chat session, the latest user/assistant exchange is used as the title prompt since the shared session mixes content from every channel. The shared session's title metadata is no longer read or written, so stale shared titles can no longer leak into per-chat sessions.	2026-08-26 10:52:56 +08:00
