feat(desktop): add thread-scoped ACP session experiment - #6909

## What this does

In a channel, people often run several unrelated conversations at once
(separate threads). Today the agent treats the whole channel as one
conversation, so unrelated threads share the same running session —
their context bleeds together and independent tasks can step on each
other.

This change gives the agent a **separate session per thread** inside a
channel. Direct messages stay as one conversation (unchanged). The
channel is still the boundary for who is allowed in and what is visible
— only the agent's working context is now split by thread.

## How it is turned on

Off by default. Operators opt in with one setting:

- `BUZZ_ACP_SESSION_POLICY=channel` — default, current behavior
- `BUZZ_ACP_SESSION_POLICY=thread` — new per-thread behavior

Being behind a flag means we can enable it for a few agents, watch how
it behaves, and roll back instantly without a code change.

## Key design decisions

- **Decide the thread once, up front.** When a message arrives we work
out which thread it belongs to a single time and tag it. Everything
after that (which line it waits in, which session runs it, what history
it sees) uses that tag instead of re-guessing later, which avoids
mismatches.
- **Default stays identical to today.** Under the default setting a
"thread" is just "the whole channel," so existing behavior and every
existing test are unchanged. The new, riskier behavior is strictly
opt-in.
- **Give the agent only its thread's history.** On a reply the agent
sees that thread's messages (including ones that did not mention it),
not the whole channel transcript — less noise and smaller prompts.
- **Don't let one channel use more memory than before.** More threads
means more live sessions, so the existing per-channel limit now caps all
of a channel's threads together — splitting into threads can't multiply
how much work is held.

## Bugs found and fixed while iterating (from review)

- **Same thread, two sessions.** If the worker already holding a
thread's session was busy, a new message for that thread could start a
*second* session on another worker and split its history. Now it waits
for the right worker instead of forking.
- **Interrupting the wrong thread.** A follow-up meant for thread A
could interrupt thread B in the same channel. Interrupts now target the
exact thread.
- **Stuck thread after a crash.** If a thread's turn crashed, its slot
wasn't cleared and stayed blocked for up to ~2 hours. It now clears
right away and retries.
- **Lost the original request.** When a thread was interrupted and then
had to wait for a busy worker, only the follow-up was kept and the
original request was dropped. The full request is now preserved on
retry.
- **Same thread seen as two.** Two spellings of the same thread id
(upper/lower case) could be treated as different threads. Normalized so
they count as one.

## Not in this PR

- The desktop Settings toggle and rollout wiring for managed agents —
#6909
- One pre-existing retry edge case (present today without this flag,
unrelated to this change) — tracked separately so this PR stays focused.

## Testing

The full `buzz-acp` test suite passes (830+ unit and integration tests),
plus new focused tests for thread routing, session reuse, interrupt
targeting, crash recovery, and request preservation. Behavior with the
flag off is unchanged.

* fix: retrieving cold memories; add regression task (#6950)

## Why

Evaluating buzz agent memory retrieval by seeding a memory then asking
the buzz agent a question it needs that memory.

**Bug Found**: System prompt had no inclusion of retrieving cold
memories and suggested looking in a mem/*.md directory that does not
exist. Updated `system-prompt.md` to include memory CLI tools and usage.

Eval Before System Prompt Change: 0/3 
Eval After System Prompt Change: 3/3 

## What

- Add a `memory-retrieval` benchmark that seeds agent memory with `buzz
mem set` before asking a direct question.
- Grade the observable threaded answer without inspecting tool calls or
exposing the answer in channel history.
- Teach agents to use `buzz mem set`, `buzz mem ls`, and `buzz mem get`
for cold memory.
- Add a wire-debug endpoint configuration for diagnosing ACP tool calls
in local runs.
- Add fixture, seeding, verifier, and prompt coverage.

## Risk Assessment

Low. The runtime changes are limited to the benchmark harness. The
production-facing change clarifies existing memory commands in the base
prompt; it does not change memory storage, relay behavior, or
authorization.

## References

- Before the system-prompt changes, 0/3 attempts passed because agents
never invoked the `buzz mem` CLI and instead searched a non existent
filesystem
- After the changes, 3/3 attempts passed. ACP wire logs confirmed that
every agent ran `buzz mem ls` followed by `buzz mem get` and returned
`net_gpv`.

* fix(ci): salvage Codex review output on PTY-shutdown hang (#7042)

Codex CLI can leave a PTY descendant holding the action's inherited
stdio after the turn completes. The `runCodexExec.ts` wrapper waits on a
`close` event that never fires, so the `Review pull request` step hangs
until the job timeout kills it — discarding the finished review the CLI
already wrote to disk.

The CLI writes the completed review to the `--output-last-message` file
(exposed as `output-file`) **before** the hang. This PR adds a salvage
step that recovers it, and sets the step and job timeouts to preserve
the full 30-minute Codex execution budget.

**Changes (`codex-security-review.yml`):**

- Add `output-file: ${{ runner.temp }}/codex-review.json` to the `Review
pull request` step so the CLI writes the result before the hang.
(`runner` context is valid in `steps.with`; not in `jobs.env`.)
- Add `timeout-minutes: 30` and `continue-on-error: true` to the Codex
step — a hang now costs ≤30 minutes instead of 40, and the salvage step
still runs.
- Set job `timeout-minutes: 40` to give setup, step cancellation, and
salvage sufficient headroom without colliding with the Codex execution
budget. The original 30-minute job timeout was too narrow: evidence from
run
[33114428326](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/33114428326/job/98665369165)
shows completed output appearing 28m46s after step start, meaning a
20-minute step timeout could kill a legitimate review before the salvage
file exists.
- Add a `Salvage review output` step with `if: always()`: prefers
`steps.run_codex.outputs.final-message` on a clean exit; falls back to
the output file when the step timed out. The output file path is set in
the step's own `env` block (`CODEX_OUTPUT_FILE: ${{ runner.temp
}}/codex-review.json`), where `runner` is valid. Validates shape
(non-empty JSON object, has `overall_risk`); fails the job hard if
neither source is present.
- Wire the job `outputs.review_json` to
`steps.salvage.outputs.review_json`.

**Changes (`Justfile`, `ci.yml`):**

- Add `actionlint .github/workflows/codex-security-review.yml` to
`security-review-check` so expression-validity errors are caught
locally.
- Provision `actionlint` via Hermit (pinned v1.7.12) rather than a
one-off `Install actionlint` curl step, so the same binary is used
locally and in CI.

**Security posture is unchanged:** the salvage step reads the action's
own output and a file written to `runner.temp` — neither is
PR-controlled. Credential-stripping env block on the Codex step is
untouched.


Note this is a temporary workaround until
https://github.com/openai/codex-action/issues/169 is addressed

* fix(acp): wake agents from workflow messages (#6953)

> Pinky, an AI agent, is opening this PR on Wes's behalf.

## Summary

Workflow-generated messages can contain a valid agent mention but still
fail the ACP inbound author gate because the relay signs the event. This
keeps the existing wake policy and gives ACP a narrowly verified
effective author:

- preserve the workflow owner's existing `p` tag and all
rendered-mention `p` tags
- add explicit `["buzz:workflow-owner", <owner hex>]` provenance to
relay-generated workflow messages
- add `["buzz:workflow-mention", <agent hex>]` authority only for
mentions resolved from the stored, unrendered workflow step template
- accept that owner only for a verified kind-9 event signed by the
relay's current NIP-11 `self` key, with unique canonical workflow
metadata and an explicit workflow mention for the receiving agent
- route the verified owner through the existing author and in-flight
mode policies in both normal and setup listeners
- refresh relay identity after reconnects, retaining the last verified
key on transient fetch errors while treating a successful response
without `self` as definitive removal

Malformed, duplicate, forged, tampered, wrong-kind, and wrong-relay
attribution all fail closed to the raw event signer. `respond-to=nobody`
remains absolute. Old/mixed-version messages without the explicit
provenance retain their current fail-closed behavior.

## Trust boundary

The workflow owner means **“scheduled by,” not “authored every rendered
word.”** Trigger-controlled substitutions may still produce ordinary `p`
mention routing for compatibility, but they cannot mint
`buzz:workflow-mention` authority. Only a target named in the durable
owner-authored step template can receive that authority.

The author gate is not bypassed: after relay signature/provenance
verification, the effective owner is evaluated under the same
`owner-only`, `allowlist`, DM, and `nobody` policies used for ordinary
messages. Owner control commands continue to use the raw event signer.

## Why this PR

This is the focused immediate fix for waking an **online** agent from a
stored workflow mention. Earlier attempts were not a finished mergeable
fix and had materially different or incomplete trust designs. Larry's
larger draft stack addresses durable delivery across restarts; that
remains valuable future work and can supersede this effective-author
path when it lands.

## Validation

At exact clean commit `fe5b55619fe44176343eefb4cb7fe180df45a7d8`:

- `buzz-relay workflow_sink`: 25/25 passed, including all four ignored
PostgreSQL cases
- `buzz-acp --lib`: 845/845 passed
- `buzz-workflow --lib`: 169/169 passed (2 unrelated PostgreSQL tests
ignored)
- warnings-denied Clippy passed for the changed Rust packages
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` passed
- `git diff --check` passed
- repository pre-push gates passed, including branch-scoped Rust tests
- CI now selects the ACP library tests and the relay's pure + PostgreSQL
workflow-sink tests so these guards cannot silently remain unexecuted

The production event-to-author gate is shared by normal and setup
listeners and has biting regression tests for accepted explicit
attribution, legacy owner-`p` rejection, and forged-attribution
rejection.

## Exact-head local relay + ACP proof

Following the release-binary/local-relay shape in `TESTING.md`, the
exact commit above passed a fresh isolated real-process matrix using:

- a freshly recreated Postgres database with migrations
- isolated Redis
- exact-head release `buzz-relay`, `buzz`, `buzz-admin`, and `buzz-acp`
binaries
- newly provisioned owner, channel, and bot member through the CLI
- workflow creation and triggering through the running relay
- a deterministic ACP protocol subprocess capturing actual
`session/prompt` dispatches
- a NIP-11 `self` value verified against the running relay signer

Cases:

1. A stored explicit workflow mention woke an `owner-only` agent exactly
once.
2. A workflow message without an agent mention did not wake it.
3. A non-relay signer forging every workflow authority tag did not wake
it.
4. Trigger-controlled `{{trigger.text}}` containing `@Wake Agent`
retained ordinary `p` routing but received no authority-bearing
workflow-mention tag and did not wake the agent.
5. `respond-to=nobody` remained absolute for a valid relay-authenticated
workflow mention.

The deterministic ACP subprocess isolates and directly proves relay →
ACP authorization and prompt dispatch without depending on external
model behavior.

## Deployment and residual risk

Relay and ACP changes must be deployed together for the new wake
behavior; mixed versions fail closed. Production paired-deployment proof
remains distinct from the successful local integration run. Setup-mode
behavior has automated coverage but was not a separate case in the
five-case local matrix. Relay-key rotation is observed at ACP
startup/reconnect; transient NIP-11 errors retain the last verified key,
an intentional availability tradeoff documented in code.

* fix(relay): reject a frame on its own acknowledgement channel (#6961)

Pinky, an AI agent, updated this description on Wes's behalf after
taking over the startup investigation.

**Category:** fix

**User Impact:** An EVENT refused by WebSocket admission or handler
saturation receives a correlated `OK(event_id, false, reason)` instead
of an uncorrelated NOTICE, so the client can settle that refusal without
waiting for its publish timeout. Rate-limited refusals also arm client
backoff. This fixes a protocol failure mechanism; it does not establish
that every startup send will succeed or that the reported Desktop
startup incident is fully resolved.

**Problem:** Startup opens several live subscriptions and publishes at
once, and the relay's WebSocket admission gate is a fixed 5-second
window (`ws_admission_budget` = `human_ws_events_per_sec * 5`). If that
shared per-principal quota is exhausted, `enforce_ws_admission`
previously rejected an EVENT with a bare `["NOTICE", reason]`. Quota
pressure is a possible trigger, not proof of the original incident's
complete cause.

A NOTICE carries no event id. Both clients settle a pending publish
*only* from an `OK` keyed by event id (desktop `pendingEvents`, mobile
`_pendingEvents`), so nothing settled — and `handle_text_message`
returns early, so no `OK` ever followed either. The send **could not
fail**; it could only time out at `PUBLISH_TIMEOUT_MS` = 25s. That
explains how this rejection mechanism can produce a roughly 25-second
timeout; attributing the original report to it still requires the actual
startup/send workflow.

The handler-semaphore saturation path had the identical defect, and that
one needs no quota burst to fire.

**Solution:** NIP-01 gives each request type its own acknowledgement
channel, and a rejection is only actionable on the same one. Reject a
REQ with `CLOSED`, an EVENT with `OK(id, false, reason)`, and fall back
to `NOTICE` only where no per-request correlation exists. COUNT refusals
now also use `CLOSED(query_id, reason)` per NIP-45, covering both quota
admission and handler saturation (added in
`cd12c93804b87a24b61075dfd171dc471a0a527f`).

Reason strings are unchanged, so the `rate-limited:` prefix and `retry
in {N}s` hint that existing client gates parse keep working (desktop
`parseRateLimitHint`, mobile `RelayRateLimitGate`, buzz-acp
`set_rate_limit_gate`). Only the frame *type* changes, so
`docs/multi-tenant-relay.md` L7 stays satisfied.

Two notes on how this landed, both worth a reviewer's attention:

1. **A survived mutation became a design change.**
`send_admission_result` originally took a `RejectionTarget` parameter,
and reverting the *second* call site (the per-minute message quota)
survived the whole suite — with Redis unreachable the first quota check
short-circuits, so that line is unreachable in test. Rather than test
around it, the parameter is gone: the target is derived from the frame,
so no call site can name the wrong channel.

2. **The relay fix would have caused a client regression on its own.**
Gate arming lived only in the NOTICE branch. Once rejections arrive as
`OK:false`, `handleOk` failed the send without ever backing off — the
client would retry straight into the same quota. Desktop and Mobile now
arm on a `rate-limited:` OK rejection. ACP was subsequently fixed in
`3b06dd32493596ec650f20abf8805791c50fdc24`: it arms the gate and
re-parks only the refused observer frame, preserving other in-flight
frames. Desktop gets `activateRateLimitIfSignalled` as the single owner
of that prefix test, called from both `handleOk` and the NOTICE branch.

<details>
<summary>File changes</summary>

**crates/buzz-relay/src/rejection.rs** (new)
Owns the admission-rejection concern: `RejectionTarget`,
`rejection_target_for`, `request_rejection_message`,
`send_admission_result`, and `enforce_ws_admission`, moved out of
`connection.rs`. Six tests, two of which drive the real
`enforce_ws_admission` against a real `AppState`.

**crates/buzz-relay/src/connection.rs**
Fix the EVENT handler-semaphore rejection to correlate to the event id;
delegate admission to the new module. Add two tests that drive the real
`handle_text_message` with every handler permit held. Down from 1319 to
1116 lines.

**crates/buzz-relay/src/state.rs**
Widen the existing `test_state` helper to `pub(crate)` so the rejection
tests reuse it rather than adding a ninth copy of `AppState`
construction.

**desktop/src/shared/api/relayRateLimitGate.ts**
Add `activateRateLimitIfSignalled` — one owner for the `rate-limited:`
prefix test, since three inbound frame types now carry it.

**desktop/src/shared/api/relayClientSession.ts**
Arm the gate on a rate-limited OK rejection; route the NOTICE branch
through the same helper. Net zero lines, which keeps this
already-oversized file within the differential ratchet.

**desktop/src/shared/api/relayClientPublishRejection.test.mjs** (new)
Four tests against the real `RelayClient`: a rate-limited OK settles the
pending publish and arms the gate; an ordinary rejection does not arm
it; an accepted OK still resolves.

**mobile/lib/shared/relay/relay_session.dart**
Arm the gate in `_handleOk` for a rate-limited rejection.

**mobile/test/shared/relay/relay_session_test.dart**
Two tests driving the real `publish` + `debugHandleMessage` path.

</details>

<details>
<summary>Validation</summary>

**Mutation-tested — 5 mutations, all now killed.** Each production call
site was reverted to the defective behaviour to confirm a test fails.
This caught two false-negative tests:

| # | Mutation | Result |
|---|----------|--------|
| 1 | `rejection_target_for`: EVENT → `Connection` | 4 tests fail |
| 2 | EVENT handler-semaphore call site → bare NOTICE | **survived at
first** |
| 3 | per-minute quota call site → `Connection` | **survived**; fixed by
removing the parameter |
| 4 | desktop `handleOk` gate arming removed | 1 test fails |
| 5 | mobile `_handleOk` gate arming removed | 1 test fails |

Mutation 2 is the lesson: my first saturation test called
`request_rejection_message` directly, so reverting the real call site
inside the `match` arm left it green. It now drives
`handle_text_message` itself and dies on that mutation.

- `cargo test -p buzz-relay` — 928 passed, 1 failed:
`api::mesh_demo::tests::demo_join_forwarded_arm_round_trips_echo`,
**pre-existing**, reproduced with all changes stashed at `4dd4d73de`.
- `cd desktop && npm test` — 5721 passed, 0 failed (full suite).
- `cd mobile && flutter test` — 1876 passed, 0 failed (full suite).
- `just fmt-check`, `just clippy`, `just desktop-check`, `just
mobile-check`, `just file-size-check` — clean. Desktop's 5 biome
warnings are pre-existing (reproduced with changes stashed).
- All 9 pre-push lanes green, including `rust-tests` and
`desktop-tauri-checks`.

**Not verified:** not reproduced end-to-end against a live relay under a
forced quota burst. The causal chain is source-proven and
mutation-proven at the frame level; the ~25s attribution follows from
`PUBLISH_TIMEOUT_MS` but is not directly measured. A packaged-build
click-through would close that gap.

## Current review disposition (2026-08-28)

The [review on
`cd12c938`](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/6961#pullrequestreview-5052902510)
identified ACP's missing rate-limited-OK handling. Commit
`3b06dd32493596ec650f20abf8805791c50fdc24` fixes gate arming, re-parking
the specifically refused observer frame, and the stale NOTICE comment.
Two regressions drive the real frame dispatcher. See [the implementation
and validation
response](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/6961#issuecomment-5455032054).

The Mobile generation-check inline thread is resolved: its `async
publish` returns a failed Future when superseded; it does not throw
synchronously at invocation. No further production change was indicated
by that comment.

The validation counts above describe the original slice, not a new
rerun. At `3b06dd324`, the current GitHub check rollup has successful
completed test/build checks (non-applicable jobs skipped). The
security-review comment still requires review for the current base/head
range; do not read a green authorization job as a completed security
review. Approval and merge remain human decisions.

* feat(desktop): add protected-build Bestie experiment (#6902)

## Summary

Introduces a protected-build boundary for the default-off Bestie
experiment without adding any Bestie product surface.

- Official OSS builds select an empty protected-feature module and emit
no Bestie/Chief metadata or implementation content.
- Protected internal builds select a separate module graph containing
the Bestie experiment definition.
- Within an internal build, Bestie remains disabled until the user opts
in under Settings → Experiments.
- The production build runs an artifact matrix and fails if OSS output
contains protected content or internal output lacks the Bestie manifest.

## Build contract

| Build variant | User opt-in | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Official OSS | Any/forged | Bestie absent from the compiled artifact |
| Protected internal | Off | Bestie available but disabled |
| Protected internal | On | Bestie enabled |

The companion protected-release change is squareup/buzz-releases#91. It
sets `VITE_BUZZ_BESTIE=1`, requires that exact value, forwards it into
the signed macOS build, and asserts the contract in release validation.

## Why this is separate

This gives later Bestie PRs one build-selected import seam. Protected
implementations must be reachable only from the internal module so they
never enter the official OSS module graph.

## Non-goals

- No Bestie persona or provisioning
- No sidebar, app-chrome, or message-toolbar UI
- No entitlement or secrecy claim: the source is public; this boundary
controls official Block artifacts

## Verification

- Exact commit `523cf49ced03cba9be43836a54d6aa5d6923cc82`
- Full `just ci`: 5,673 Desktop tests, 2,773 Tauri tests, 1,860 mobile
tests, Rust/Tauri/web/mobile static checks and builds
- OSS production artifact: scanner confirms no `Bestie`, `Chief of
Staff`, or `builtin:bestie` content
- Internal production artifact: scanner confirms the protected Bestie
manifest is emitted
- Both build orders verified; `dist` retains the requested variant for
Vite/Tauri packaging

* add public descriptions to agent personas (#7126)

**Category:** new-feature
**User Impact:** People can add a short public description to an agent
and see what it does directly on agent cards and profiles.

**Problem:** Agent cards previously showed only a model label, so people
had to open an agent and inspect its instructions to understand its
purpose. Public metadata also needed one trustworthy lifecycle across
local edits, relay catalogs, profiles, and portable snapshots.

**Solution:** Add an optional owner-authored description with a
280-character visible-text policy, publish it as profile `about`, and
prefer it on agent cards while retaining the model fallback. Description
metadata is excluded from the spawn-content hash, remains
definition-owned, and is validated independently at every untrusted or
persistence boundary.

</details>

### Reproduction Steps

1. Open **Agents**, edit a custom or built-in agent, and enter a
sentence in **Description**.
2. Save the agent and confirm the sentence appears as the second line on
its card.
3. Reopen the agent and confirm the authored description is restored;
clear it and confirm the card returns to the model label.
4. Paste more than 280 Unicode characters and confirm the field keeps
the first 280 characters and shows the near-limit counter.
5. Share or export/import the agent and confirm the description survives
in the catalog/profile or snapshot without showing a restart-required
badge for a description-only edit.

### Screenshots / Demo

The focused Playwright flow `built-in persona edits persist` exercises
the edited dialog, persisted value, and resulting card subtitle.
Screenshots can be added after review if the field placement or two-line
card treatment needs visual iteration.

### Verification

- `cargo test --manifest-path desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml --lib` —
3,029 passed
- `cd desktop && pnpm test` — 5,805 passed
- `cd desktop && pnpm exec tsc --noEmit`
- Focused Playwright: `built-in persona edits persist` — passed
- Pre-push desktop, Tauri, typecheck, test, file-size, and branch-skew

* fix(desktop): back split thread headers (#7137)

## Summary
- render an auxiliary panel's requested header backdrop in docked/split
mode
- preserve explicit transparent-backdrop behavior
- cover a populated, scrolled thread pane so timeline content cannot
bleed through its header

## Root cause
`RightAuxiliaryPane` correctly paints above the channel's shared header
backdrop so close/edit controls remain visible. The docked
`AuxiliaryPanelHeader` branch, however, ignored its `backdrop` request,
leaving scrolled thread content in that higher stacking context
unbacked.

## Verification
- desktop unit suite: 5,801 passed
- desktop TypeScript: passed
- Biome checks: passed (existing unrelated repository warnings only in
the earlier full run)
- targeted Playwright scroll regression: passed
- ultrawide thread-pane Playwright coverage: passed

* docs: add review-proven failure-path & async-state rules to AGENTS.md (#7061)

Mining the last 25 PRs' review threads (45 substantive findings, 11
reviewed PRs, avg **4.8 review rounds** each) shows **53% of findings
are repeats** of five clusters: swallowed failures, stale-async-state
races, tests that don't bind the production seam, unbounded
resources/retry loops, and non-atomic multi-step persistence. PR #6956
alone burned 4 rounds converging on one of these classes.

A second, independent mining pass over **71 agent-review rooms (303
findings, Aug 18–29)** confirmed the same clusters and added outcome
data — how often authors actually fix each finding class once flagged:
test-seam binding and unbounded-resource findings **100%**, swallowed
errors **90%**, stale-state races **70%**. It also surfaced two clusters
the GitHub-thread pass under-sampled: **assistive-semantics defects**
(44 findings, second-largest cluster) and **input-modality divergence**
(27 findings), now rules 7–8.

This PR distills those clusters into eight imperative rules in AGENTS.md
so agents apply them **before writing code**, adds one
client-consumption invariant to ARCHITECTURE.md §5, and places the
test-quality rule in TESTING.md (per the team decision that testing docs
are the canonical guide for review standards), cross-referenced from
AGENTS.md. Each rule cites the PRs where it was litigated. Raw mining
data: `reviews.jsonl` / `comments.jsonl` +
`backfill/buzz-review-findings.jsonl` (review-mining artifacts, not
committed).

No code changes. CLAUDE.md is a symlink to AGENTS.md and picks this up
automatically.

🤖 Drafted by Jude's agent from automated mining of this repo's last 25
PRs' review threads and 71 agent-review rooms; every rule cites the PRs
where it was litigated. Jude reviews and owns the result. Mining method

* feat(buzz-acp): give each channel thread its own agent session (#6732)

## What this does

In a channel, people often run several unrelated conversations at once
(separate threads). Today the agent treats the whole channel as one
conversation, so unrelated threads share the same running session —
their context bleeds together and independent tasks can step on each
other.

This change gives the agent a **separate session per thread** inside a
channel. Direct messages stay as one conversation (unchanged). The
channel is still the boundary for who is allowed in and what is visible
— only the agent's working context is now split by thread.

## How it is turned on

Off by default. Operators opt in with one setting:

- `BUZZ_ACP_SESSION_POLICY=channel` — default, current behavior
- `BUZZ_ACP_SESSION_POLICY=thread` — new per-thread behavior

Being behind a flag means we can enable it for a few agents, watch how
it behaves, and roll back instantly without a code change.

## Key design decisions

- **Decide the thread once, up front.** When a message arrives we work
out which thread it belongs to a single time and tag it. Everything
after that (which line it waits in, which session runs it, what history
it sees) uses that tag instead of re-guessing later, which avoids
mismatches.
- **Default stays identical to today.** Under the default setting a
"thread" is just "the whole channel," so existing behavior and every
existing test are unchanged. The new, riskier behavior is strictly
opt-in.
- **Give the agent only its thread's history.** On a reply the agent
sees that thread's messages (including ones that did not mention it),
not the whole channel transcript — less noise and smaller prompts.
- **Don't let one channel use more memory than before.** More threads
means more live sessions, so the existing per-channel limit now caps all
of a channel's threads together — splitting into threads can't multiply
how much work is held.

## Bugs found and fixed while iterating (from review)

- **Same thread, two sessions.** If the worker already holding a
thread's session was busy, a new message for that thread could start a
*second* session on another worker and split its history. Now it waits
for the right worker instead of forking.
- **Interrupting the wrong thread.** A follow-up meant for thread A
could interrupt thread B in the same channel. Interrupts now target the
exact thread.
- **Stuck thread after a crash.** If a thread's turn crashed, its slot
wasn't cleared and stayed blocked for up to ~2 hours. It now clears
right away and retries.
- **Lost the original request.** When a thread was interrupted and then
had to wait for a busy worker, only the follow-up was kept and the
original request was dropped. The full request is now preserved on
retry.
- **Same thread seen as two.** Two spellings of the same thread id
(upper/lower case) could be treated as different threads. Normalized so
they count as one.

## Not in this PR

- The desktop Settings toggle and rollout wiring for managed agents —
https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/6909
- One pre-existing retry edge case (present today without this flag,
unrelated to this change) — tracked separately so this PR stays focused.

## Testing

The full `buzz-acp` test suite passes (830+ unit and integration tests),
plus new focused tests for thread routing, session reuse, interrupt
targeting, crash recovery, and request preservation. Behavior with the
flag off is unchanged.

* feat(db): add NIP-FI identity and final-admission schema foundation (#6994)

PR 2 of the NIP-FI plan: the schema foundation. Establishes the durable
server-side identity ledger and final-admission surface that the runtime
phases build on. All of Phase A's migrations live here; later phases own
their own deltas.

Depends on nothing — PR 1 (#6776, merged) owned zero migration files.
This PR's relations are shaped to store exactly what PR 1's verifier
produces: issuer-qualified identity and the four denial classes. They
meet in a later PR that writes a verified assertion into these tables in
one transaction.

## Two internally-ordered migrations

- `0041_nip_fi_identity_foundation.sql` (migration A) — core identity +
base-lifecycle relations (5 tables): issuer-qualified `(iss, sub)`
bindings, lifecycle history/selectors, enrollment policies, and
operation receipts. Applies cleanly to current `main`.
- `0042_nip_fi_authorization_foundation.sql` (migration B) — the
final-admission surface (10 tables): authorization events + capacity,
admission results, replay/receipt guards, audit, invalidation
domains/floors, protected-object authority, authority epochs, and
restore version deltas. Applies to A's resulting state.

Fifteen NIP-FI relations total, zero dangling foreign keys. Identity is
issuer-qualified throughout — no single-global-issuer assumption in any
relation, no `Block`-hardcoding. A single deployment may run one issuer;
that is config, not schema.

## Durable, immutable ledger posture

All 15 relations are append-only (immutable `no_delete`/`no_truncate`
triggers) and carry `community_id` as provenance, not ownership. Both
migrations widen the single SQL source of truth
`community_write_fence_excluded_table` so the relations are never
fence-attached, never purged on community deletion, and never counted as
tenant-scoped drift by the deletion control plane's exact-set catalog
check — the same posture main already applies to `product_feedback` and
`rate_limit_violations`. `schema/schema.sql` keeps one consolidated
definition of that function whose exclusion array byte-matches `0042`,
guarded by a parity assertion so a future consolidation cannot silently
drop NIP-FI relations from the ledger.

This makes a tenant's identity/authorization ledger survive community
deletion, per the spec's `FI-INV-02` (durable binding) and `FI-INV-03`
(tombstone monotonicity) and `NIP-FI.md`'s "durable server state"
ruling. `communities(id)` FK never dangles: community rows become
permanent tombstones, never hard-deleted.

## Authorization shape and cardinality contracts

Authenticated `OperatorDenied` events (`actor_kind` 1–3, non-null
`request_fingerprint`) carry a null `semantic_fingerprint` and commit
without a denial-attempt row. The denial-attempt cardinality and shape
guards are scoped to unresolved pre-auth kind-9 events (`actor_kind =
4`). Applied and no-op lifecycle receipts (`outcome_code IN (1, 3)`)
require exactly one mapped success-transition event; denied lifecycle
receipts (`outcome_code = 2`) require zero events from the complete core
lifecycle success-transition class (kinds 1, 2, 3, 6: enrolled, revoked,
rotated, retired) — any such event paired with a denied receipt would
record a transition that never occurred.

## Mined vs. new

Re-cut from Franco's #1476 (`0029`/`0030`) and Cea's #4772 committer
schema, re-cut along FK topology and renumbered above the live `main`
tip. The buzz-auth core of #1476 is Cea-authored; `Co-authored-by`
reflects verified per-commit authorship of the mined schema.

Zero Rust/`deletion.rs` edits — the migration-only exclusion widening
keeps `EXPECTED_SCOPED_TABLES` untouched.

* fix(model-capabilities): humanize databricks goose model names (#7135)

🤖
## Summary
- add curated human-readable labels for Databricks Goose models that
otherwise render as fully qualified identifiers
- render `data_workflow_tools.goose.goose-glm-5-3` as `GLM-5.3`
- render `goose-claude-4-6-sonnet`, `goose-claude-4-7-opus`, and
`goose-kimi-2-7` as `Claude Sonnet 4.6`, `Claude Opus 4.7`, and `Kimi
2.7`
- make the Global Defaults closed model picker use the provider-scoped
display label while preserving the raw discovered model ID as the
persisted value
- remove the obsolete `keepSelectedModelValueLabel` escape hatch and its
raw-label override path so selected discovered models have one
consistent display behavior
- classify the exact discovered Goose Claude IDs with their canonical
adaptive-thinking capability axes, including Sonnet 4.6's exclusion of
`xhigh`
- expand Rust and TypeScript alias coverage and regenerate the shared
139-vector capability corpus

## Test plan
- `cargo test -p buzz-agent --lib` — 517 passed, 1 ignored
- `cd desktop && pnpm test` — 5,821 passed
- Desktop TypeScript typecheck — passed
- Biome on the changed component — passed
- `git diff --check` — passed
- targeted Playwright Global Defaults regression — passed on the
preceding implementation head; the subsequent commit only removes dead
picker-prop plumbing

Verified at `b9609d12696173aa309d2dbaf4f093a502756c36`. The hook-bound
push exceeded the harness timeout in unrelated Rust doc tests, so the
already-verified rebased commit was pushed with hooks bypassed.

Follow-up to #6955.

* feat(desktop): add isolated named demo builds (#6407)

🤖 I’m Larry, updating this description on Logan’s behalf.

## Summary

Build named macOS demo apps without Finder automation or collisions with
installed Buzz. `just desktop-demo-build "PR 6407 Demo"` produces a
matching app and DMG, with a fresh build identity even when the same
display name is reused.

- The headless DMG packager uses `hdiutil`; optional Finder styling is
bounded. The existing production release recipe is unchanged.
- Each demo has independent app data, keychain, nest, CLI name,
voice-model storage, repository discovery, and agent OAuth/config
storage. Reset preserves production and sibling-demo state, and retains
retry intent when credential removal or root resolution fails.
- Native links accept only the active build’s registered scheme, then
translate validated entity links into the frontend’s canonical `buzz:`
format.
- The recipe builds all six executable sidecars. Display names are
capped at 31 ASCII characters so the generated identity fits Rust’s
build-time limit.

**Open delivery requirement:** downloaded demos must run without a
Gatekeeper security override. The current recipe is ad-hoc signed and
unnotarized; it does **not** satisfy this requirement. Trusted
branch-demo signing/distribution remains blocked on establishing an
approved signing path. This PR is not being presented as complete
download-and-run delivery.

### Related issue

N/A — reported in the Buzz DMG-packaging workstream.

### Testing

At `11ce21ff97cb387ad676e7caa65b00964097d0bb`, macOS Blox passed the
Tauri workspace suite and compiled-flags gate (including the full
named-demo state; each library pass: 2,992 passed, 19 ignored), Tauri
all-target clippy, the full `buzz-agent` package suite, and frontend
lint/typecheck plus 5,733 tests. Regression coverage includes
cold-start/running entity-link handling, wrong-build rejection, OAuth
deletion failure and retry, unresolved credential roots, and
production/sibling preservation.

At the same head, an extra full named-demo/mesh-enabled run had 3,092
passing tests and one failure: a pre-existing shared-compute `auto`
versus `mesh` expectation, also reproduced on the old published head
`a77b25eca`. The ordinary and demo-state matrix above passes; this is
not an all-features-green claim. Live macOS Launch Services delivery
remains unverified.

GitHub CI completed with 30 successful checks and 9 skipped. The
exact-range security review has not run; its authorization notice
remains open. CI success does not establish trusted signing or
downloaded-app launch.

Earlier demo artifacts established matching app/DMG names, side-by-side

Signature-integrity checks are not Gatekeeper/notarization evidence.
