Every persona now knows: direct chat has no tools, Agent mode (⚡) has
the full tool suite. If asked to write a reminder/task/etc in chat mode,
tell the user to switch modes rather than silently failing.
Updated: inara, tina, donut, wintermute, developer, cleo PROTOCOLS.md
Updated: persona_template.py so all future personas get this by default

- New cortex/tools/reminders.py with reminders_add, reminders_list, reminders_clear
- reminders_clear moved here from cron.py (cron still imports from same file)
- __init__.py: wired up new callables and Gemini declarations
- Inara can now add/read reminders in Agent mode via the orchestrator

- Use dgr_zone_nextcloud-app-1 throughout (actual container name)
- talk:bot:uninstall (not remove — wrong command in previous version)
- Added Logs section: occ log:tail + journalctl
- Bruteforce reset command now includes full docker exec form

- New endpoints: POST /channels/google-chat/{username} and /webhook/nextcloud/{username}
- Channel secrets/config live in home/{username}/channels.json (gitignored)
- auth_utils: get_user_channels() helper reads channels.json
- Both routers load persona, audience/secret, backend, timeout per user;
set_context() wires the correct persona before building the system prompt
- Removed server-level channel settings from config.py and .env —
no user gets a channel until they create their own channels.json
- .gitignore: home/**/channels.json added
To migrate: update Google Chat Add-on webhook URL to /channels/google-chat/{username}
and re-register NC Talk bot at /webhook/nextcloud/{username}

- Removed orphaned root .env and .env.default (values already in cortex/.env,
which is what the systemd service actually loads)
- Replaced outdated cortex/.env.example with the comprehensive .env.default content
- Also tracks: tested/persona/cleo/ (new test persona), Inara memory updates

- cortex/static/HELP.md: shared Help & Reference base served to all users
- help.html: loads shared base + appends persona-specific HELP.md if present
- inara/HELP.md: cleared (content moved to shared base)
- Google OAuth: registered scott.idem@oneskyit.com; flow now working end-to-end
- .gitignore: exclude home/**/sessions/ (runtime logs)
- New personas tracked: home/holly/persona/donut/, home/scott/persona/developer/
- Removed orphans: holly/, personas/, cortex-holly.service
- CLAUDE.md: updated current state and recently completed list to 2026-03-27

The invite command reads email from profile.json, not auth.json.
google-add was only writing to auth.json so invite had no address
to send to. Now calls set_email() as well.

Settings page gains two new sections:
- Connected Accounts: shows linked Google email (read-only)
- Gemini API Key: paste personal key from aistudio.google.com,
shows masked hint of saved key, remove link to revert to server key
POST /settings/gemini-key saves/clears gemini_api_key in auth.json.

Users with Google accounts can now sign in without a password.
Auth flow:
- GET /auth/google → Google consent page (CSRF state cookie)
- GET /auth/google/callback → exchange code, lookup user, set JWT
- auth.json gains google_sub + google_email fields
- set_password() no longer overwrites unrelated auth.json fields
Admin setup:
python manage_passwords.py google-add <username> <email>
# add GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID + GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET to .env
Per-user Gemini key:
- get_user_gemini_key() reads gemini_api_key from auth.json
- orchestrator_engine.run() accepts gemini_api_key param
- orchestrator router passes user's key, falls back to server key
login.html: "Sign in with Google" button above the password form.
manage_passwords.py list: now shows auth method columns (pw / google).

app.js updates the <link rel="icon"> to the active persona's emoji on
load (CORTEX_EMOJI is already injected server-side). /favicon.ico route
added as a fallback for login/settings/help pages that don't have
persona context.

beforeunload closes the EventSource explicitly so the browser doesn't
log "connection interrupted while page was loading". onerror handler

Session ID is stored in localStorage keyed to user+persona. On page load
it's silently restored if within 30 min of last activity. Timestamp
updates on every sent message. New session / delete session clears the
stored ID so the TTL logic stays consistent.

Visiting /scott (or any user root) now shows a clean card page listing
all their personas with emoji + name, each linking to /{user}/{persona}.
Previously the route was unhandled (404 or wildcard match).

Pass ?persona= query param on the help link so the server knows which
persona to return to. Previously always defaulted to personas[0], causing
navigation back to the wrong persona.

- Sync preload script font sizes to match app.js (21/25/17px)
- Send button variants now show icons: ↑ Send, 📝 Note, ⚡ Run
- Remove fixed width on send-col; add white-space:nowrap + padding
so "📝 Note" never wraps regardless of font size

- Load Inter variable font from Google Fonts on all 5 HTML pages
- font-weight: 450 on body (between regular and medium — fixes thin feel)
- -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased for cleaner screen rendering
- Base font size: normal 16→17px, large 18→19px, small 14→15px
- Applies consistently to main UI, login, setup, settings, and help pages

Header:
- Sessions, ⚙ context panel, ≡ settings dropdown (Files, Account,
Sign Out), and ❓ help — down from 6+ individual buttons
- Responsive: flex-row on desktop, wraps on mobile with labels hidden
Footer (input area):
- 4-way mode select replaces the button row — shows only the active
mode as [icon] [label] ▲; click opens an upward dropdown
- Options sorted by MRU: most recently used floats to the bottom
(closest to the trigger button) for quick re-selection
- Current mode marked with ✓
- Note mode shows a small prv/pub sub-toggle below the select button
- Mobile: textarea on top (full width), mode select + send on one row
Mode state consolidated from 3 booleans into a single current_mode
variable with localStorage persistence and MRU tracking.

Adds a third input mode toggle alongside Note and Agent. When active:
- Textarea gets a subtle purple tint with dashed border
- OTR button highlights purple
- Placeholder reads "Off the record — not logged or distilled…"
- off_record=True is sent to /chat; session_logger is skipped
- In-memory session context is preserved within the session
Switching to Note or Agent mode deactivates OTR, and vice versa.

Hardcoded 'Inara' replaced with CORTEX_PERSONA in all placeholder
strings (chat mode and agent task mode).

- Fix 'undefined' in auth banner: read access_token_hours_remaining (not hours_remaining)
- Fix false-positive warning on fresh tokens: when refresh token present, only warn
within 1 hour of expiry (not 24h) since the CLI should auto-rotate but sometimes misses
- Emit claude_auth_expired SSE event on 401 so UI shows inline red banner immediately
- app.js: handle claude_auth_expired SSE event with persistent top banner + dismiss button

- Session name field: PATCH /sessions/{id} endpoint, inline rename button in UI
- Persona rename: inline ✏ toggle form in settings, POST /settings/persona/rename
- Username rename: inline form in settings, POST /settings/username (renames home dir, forces re-login)
- Help page: dedicated /help route replacing modal, collapsible sections
- Per-persona isolation: files.py and session_store.py now scope to correct user/persona
- Contrast/visibility: muted text bumped to slate-400+, session rename btn at 0.4 opacity
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add /settings page with password change form and personas list
- Add /help dedicated page (replaces help modal); renders HELP.md with
collapsible sections, dark theme, back link to active persona
- Add 👤 account button and convert ? button to link in header
- Remove help modal HTML and ~55 lines of modal JS from main app
- Register settings and help routers in main.py
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- session_store: store sessions under home/{user}/persona/{name}/session_data/
instead of the shared cortex/data/sessions/ bucket
- chat endpoints: add user/persona query params to /sessions, /history/*,
/sessions/*, /note so they resolve the correct persona context
- files router: add user/persona query params to /files and /files/{name}
so the file browser loads the right persona's files
- app.js: pass user/persona on all session, history, and file fetches;
move _fileParams to top-level scope so it is available everywhere
- onboarding: fix FastAPI route ordering — register /persona before /{token}
so the literal path wins and does not get captured as a token value
- ui.py: read Emoji field from IDENTITY.md and inject into CORTEX_CONFIG
so the header icon reflects each persona's chosen emoji
- .gitignore: exclude home/**/session_data/ (runtime state)
- migrate scott/inara sessions from cortex/data/sessions/ to session_data/

The ui.router's /{username}/{persona} wildcard was matching /static/style.css
(username="static", persona="style.css") because app.mount("/static") was
registered after app.include_router(ui.router). FastAPI processes routes in
registration order, so /static must be mounted first.

- email_utils.py: send_email() via smtplib.SMTP_SSL (port 465, same server
as AE API); send_invite_email() renders plain-text + HTML invite template
- config.py: smtp_server, smtp_port, smtp_username, smtp_password,
smtp_from_email, smtp_from_name, cortex_base_url settings
- manage_passwords.py:
- profile.json helpers (get/set email stored in home/{username}/profile.json)
- invite command now accepts optional email arg, sends invite automatically;
falls back to stored email; prints link either way
- new 'email' command to store/update a user's email address
- 'list' command now shows email alongside password status
- .env.default: SMTP_* and CORTEX_BASE_URL documented
Usage after adding SMTP_PASSWORD to .env:
python manage_passwords.py invite holly holly@example.com
→ generates token, stores email, sends invite, prints link as fallback
All 80 tests pass.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
New user flow:
1. Admin: python manage_passwords.py invite <username> → generates URL
2. User visits /setup/<token> → sets own password → logged in
3. User redirected to /setup/persona → fills name/emoji/description
4. persona_template.py generates all starter files → lands at /{user}/{persona}
Multiple personas:
- Header persona name is now a clickable dropdown listing all personas
- "New persona" link at bottom → /setup/persona (available to logged-in users)
- /api/personas endpoint returns persona list for current session user
New files:
- persona_template.py: generates IDENTITY/SOUL/PROTOCOLS/USER/HELP.md + data files
- routers/onboarding.py: /setup/{token}, /setup/persona GET+POST
- static/setup.html: two-step form (password → persona), emoji picker, mobile-friendly
Updated:
- auth_utils.py: create_invite(), validate_invite(), consume_invite()
- manage_passwords.py: invite command with URL output
- auth_middleware.py: /setup/* prefix is public (invite tokens need no auth)
- routers/ui.py: /api/personas endpoint; post-login redirect if no personas
- static/app.js: persona switcher dropdown with navigation + Add persona link
- static/style.css: .persona-switcher, .persona-dropdown, mobile adjustments
Mobile: login/setup pages are card-centered with responsive padding;
dropdown avoids edge-clipping on narrow screens; logout button stays visible.
All 80 tests pass.

Restructures persona storage from a flat personas/{name}/ layout to
home/{username}/persona/{name}/, mirroring Linux home directories.
Changes:
- persona.py: two ContextVars (user + persona), Linux-style name validation,
set_context(), get_user(), get_persona(), validate(), list_users(),
list_user_personas(); persona_path() takes (username, name)
- config.py: replaces personas_dir with home_dir + home_root()
- git mv personas/inara → home/scott/persona/inara (history preserved)
- home/holly/persona/tina/: Holly's persona stub added
- cron_runner.py: all storage functions take (username, persona) params
- tools/cron.py: stamps user + persona on jobs; APScheduler IDs are
{user}:{persona}:{job_id} to prevent collisions across users
- memory_distiller.py: distill_short/mid/long take (username, persona);
added missing Path + settings imports
- scheduler.py: _load_user_crons() iterates home/*/persona/* (two-level)
- routers/chat.py, orchestrator.py: user field added; set_context() called
- tests/conftest.py: home_root fixture with two-level structure;
patches home_dir instead of personas_dir
- tests/test_persona.py: fully rewritten for two-level API
- tests/test_api_files.py: updated fixture name and path
- .env.default: documents HOME_DIR setting; scrubs stale API key
- CLAUDE.md, README.md: directory maps updated for new layout
All 80 tests pass.

- Add cortex/persona.py: ContextVar-based per-request routing with
path traversal protection and persona validation
- Migrate inara/ → personas/inara/ (git history preserved via git mv)
- config.py: add personas_root(), inara_path() delegates to personas/inara
- All 14 settings.inara_path() call sites replaced with persona_path()
- ChatRequest + OrchestrateRequest: add persona field (default: "inara")
with validation at request entry before any processing
- memory_distiller: add optional persona param for future per-persona distill
- cron_runner/tools/cron: stamp persona on jobs, prefix APScheduler IDs
(persona:job_id) to prevent collisions across personas
- scheduler: _load_user_crons() iterates all personas at startup
Adding a new persona: create personas/<name>/ with IDENTITY.md + SOUL.md.
Auth: handled at nginx level (inject X-Cortex-Persona header per subdomain).
Future: persona maps to Aether account_id_random for full integration.

- Add cortex/tools/scratch.py with scratch_read/write/append/clear tools
- Register all four scratch tools in the orchestrator tool registry
- Create inara/SCRATCH.md as the backing file (never distilled/archived)
- Fix auth.py: expiresAt reflects short-lived access token (~8h) not the
1-year refresh token — suppress expiry warning when refreshToken is present

- Orchestrator now saves turns to session store so history survives page refresh
- UI session_id updated from job result; history controls attached to agent turns
- Cortex migrated from system service to systemd user service (no more sudo)
- Update README.md and CLAUDE.md with correct service commands

- Allow WebSearch and WebFetch in ~/.claude/settings.json for Claude CLI fallback
- Add claude-allow-dir script docs and security note to CLAUDE.md

All hardcoded "Inara"/"Scott" strings replaced with settings.agent_name
and settings.user_name, read from .env at startup:
- config.py: AGENT_NAME and USER_NAME settings (defaults: Inara / Scott)
- llm_client.py: conversation labels in prompt builder
- session_logger.py: **Name:** labels in session log markdown
- memory_distiller.py: distillation system prompts (mid + long)
- routers/nextcloud_talk.py: @mention prefix strip
- routers/google_chat.py: greeting message
Second instance scaffolding:
- holly/: identity directory with placeholder files (USER_NAME=Holly,
AGENT_NAME to be chosen by Holly)
- cortex/.env.holly: config for Holly's instance on port 8001
- cortex-holly.service: systemd unit for the second instance
No behavioural change to the Inara/Scott instance — defaults unchanged.
