irisandClaude Opus 5 6187958de3 Let a llama session actually be started from the phone
The driver worked and the models could be downloaded, but the spawn screen
had no idea llama.cpp existed: the model field and every extra setting were
gated behind `isClaude`, so a llama provider offered nothing, `model`
arrived null, and the driver refused with "a llama.cpp session needs a
model". The feature was reachable only by curl, which is not what was asked
for.

A llama provider now gets the models this backend has downloaded, as a
picker rather than free text -- there is nothing sensible to type, and a
name that is not on disk is a session that cannot start. Context size and
temperature are there too, blank meaning llama.cpp's own default rather
than a zero. Spawn stays disabled until a model is chosen, because without
one the button could only fail.

**Two bugs that only appeared by pressing the button**, both mine, both
from changing the server without re-driving the app:

- The app sent the setup's *label* where the server had started resolving
  by *id*. The failure was almost self-diagnosing -- `no setup named "this
  machine" -- configured: this machine` -- and that message now says "no
  setup with id" and lists ids, since listing labels was what made it read
  as a contradiction.
- The session header showed `on local`, the id, because the app read
  `setup` where the server had begun sending both `setup` (id) and
  `setupName` (label). The app now carries only the label: nothing in it
  addresses a setup, and holding both is what let it show the wrong one.

Verified by doing it: rediscovered the local machine from the phone so
`local-llama` appeared, spawned a session on Qwen3-0.6B-Q8_0 with a 4096
context, sent "Reply with exactly one word: ready", and it replied "ready"
with 125 tokens counted.

irisandClaude Opus 5 19e3531c5d Add, rename and remove machines from the phone -- without letting it name commands
The gap PLAN.md recorded: setups were readable but only hand-editable, so
adding a machine meant a shell on the backend.

**The design decision, made with Bryan, is that the phone never composes a
command.** A setup carries providers, and a provider carries something to
run -- so a route that accepted a command from the request body would make
the enrolled token arbitrary code execution on every machine a setup names,
and the transport already reaches those over ssh. Instead the phone sends
connection details, and the server asks the machine itself what it has:
one `command -v` round trip per setup, matched against a table of the
drivers this server knows. The phone's authority is "add this machine",
never "run this".

Worth recording that this was a narrower change than it first appeared: the
token could already run anything on the backend, because the spawn screen
offers `bypassPermissions` with a free-text working directory. Discovery
does not close that door. What it does is keep the *list of what can run*
out of the phone's reach, and make adding a machine a thing you cannot get
wrong by typing.

It is also simply better to use. Nobody wants to type an absolute path on a
phone keyboard, and a machine whose binaries have moved answers correctly
on the next probe. The cost is that a program somewhere unusual is
invisible -- `command -v` follows PATH under a non-interactive ssh session,
which is not the PATH a person sees when they log in. That is the trade,
and the escape hatch is editing config.ron on the backend, which is exactly
the authority the phone is not being given.

Setups now have an **id separate from their label**, so renaming a machine
does not orphan the sessions that name it; a session stores the id, and
every row resolves the current label when it is built. `POST /setups/probe`
tries a machine without saving anything, so a wrong address or an
unauthorised key is caught while the form that caused it is still on
screen. Deleting is refused while sessions still run there, and says which
ones rather than cascading.

Every mutation goes through one `update`: clone, apply, save, then commit,
so a failed write leaves the previous state intact and reports why.

Verified against a running server, including a real ssh machine (this VM,
via a throwaway loopback key since removed): probing here found echo and
claude-cli; probing over ssh found claude-cli and correctly no echo, which
runs in-process and exists only where this server does; an unreachable
machine came back with ssh's own words ("connect to host ... Connection
timed out"); adding derived the id `loopback-vm` from "loopback vm";
renaming kept the id; deleting was refused while a session used it, naming
it, and succeeded once nothing did.

irisandClaude Opus 5 ecac404fd4 A setup is a machine, and it carries what that machine can run
Providers and hosts were two independent lists, and a session named one of
each. They were never independent: a provider only exists on a machine
where that program is installed, so the spawn screen offered the whole
cross-product, including "the Claude CLI on the box that hasn't got it".
The picker could not know, because nothing in the model said.

Now a setup is a machine -- optional ssh, plus the providers it has -- and
spawning is two choices in order: pick a setup, then one of its providers.
The impossible pairs stop being expressible rather than being validated
against. Provider names are unique within a setup and only within one, so
two machines can each have a `claude-cli`, which was previously either a
name collision or two entries called things like "claude" and "claude on
the vm".

It also settles the "Run on" problem properly. That control was offered for
every provider but honoured only by the Claude driver -- an echo session
sent to a host ran locally and said otherwise. There is no such control
now: the machine is chosen first, and echo is a provider of the setup with
no ssh, where it belongs, since it runs in-process and has no transport to
cross.

The built-in echo provider is gone as a concept. It used to be conjured at
read time and never written to the file, which meant a provider nobody
could see or edit; it is now seeded into the config on first run alongside
claude-cli. What the file says is what there is, and deleting it is a
choice rather than a state to be repaired.

A config in the old shape is refused with instructions rather than loaded.
`Config` defaults unknown fields away, so `providers:` and `hosts:` would
otherwise have vanished into an empty config that was then seeded over --
a migration nobody would notice until their setups were gone.

Verified against a running server and on the emulator: a fresh install
seeds "this machine" with echo and claude-cli and the file reads cleanly;
a two-setup config lists both with their own providers; spawning on a
setup works and the session row names it; asking for a provider a setup
lacks says which it offers, and an unknown setup says which exist. On the
phone, selecting "dev vm" narrows the provider chips to that machine's one
and shows its address.

irisandClaude Opus 5 3deeffd1e7 Run GGUF models through llama-server, and stop orphaning them
The second half of the llama.cpp work: a session can now name a downloaded
model and talk to it. `llama-server` is spawned through the same transport
as any other driver, polled until the model is loaded, then driven over its
OpenAI-compatible streaming endpoint and translated into the same events
the Claude driver emits -- so the transcript, the SSE stream and the phone
need to know nothing new.

**The conversation is rebuilt from the transcript, not held in the driver.**
llama-server is stateless between requests, so the whole history goes with
every one, and the obvious place to keep it is a Vec in the driver. That
fails the requirement: memory in a driver is invisible to a second device
and gone on restart, and this app is meant to work across devices. Reading
it back also means the model is prompted with exactly what the phone was
shown -- including a reply that was interrupted half way, which is in the
transcript because the deltas were already emitted.

That leaves the Claude driver as the odd one out rather than this one: the
CLI's memory of a conversation is a cache in front of the same transcript,
not a second truth. Said so at the top of llama.rs, because it is the sort
of inconsistency that gets "fixed" in the wrong direction.

Session settings arrive as a driver-interpreted `params` map rather than
new typed fields, so the shared schema does not grow one dialect's
vocabulary. Context size, gpu layers and threads become server flags;
temperature and the rest ride on each request, so changing them need not
reload a model.

**Also fixes an orphan this feature would have created.** Drivers set
kill_on_drop, which covers a session being deleted -- but nothing drops on
the way out of a SIGTERM, so signalling the server left its children
running. For the Claude CLI that is untidy; for a llama-server holding a
model it is gigabytes belonging to nobody. The server now stops its
sessions on SIGTERM and SIGINT. Found by killing a test server and noticing
two 600 MB processes still resident.

Remote llama sessions are refused rather than half-working: the model is
reached over HTTP, and forwarding that port to an ssh host is the "reach
this port" operation the transport does not have yet.

Verified end to end against a real model: downloaded Qwen3-0.6B Q8_0
through the app's own download route, spawned a session on it, and held a
two-turn conversation -- "my favourite colour is teal" then "what is my
favourite colour?", answered "teal", which is the transcript replay doing
its job. Token counts arrive. An earlier attempt with the IQ2_XXS quant
produced fluent nonsense, which turned out to be the quantisation rather
than the pipeline: llama-cli produces the same from that file directly.
Four unit tests cover the fold and the path guard.

irisandClaude Opus 5 4cdcbd204a Put the transport above the drivers instead of inside one
ClaudeDriver::spawn called ssh::command itself, so a translator whose job
is a wire format also knew how sessions reach other machines, and every
future driver would have had to remember the same. It now emits a `Launch`
-- program, arguments, working directory -- and hands it to a `Transport`
the manager chose from the session's host.

This is the inversion Bryan asked for, and it pays for itself immediately
in a place I had reported as a UI bug: "Run on" is offered for every
provider but only the Claude driver honoured it, so choosing a host for an
echo session silently ran it locally. With the transport above the driver
that cannot be written -- EchoDriver builds no Launch, so there is nothing
to wrap and nothing to misreport. The picker still needs to stop offering
it, but the code no longer lies underneath.

crate::ssh keeps the quoting, the forced options and the remote script,
with its tests; transport.rs only decides which of the two it is. The two
failure messages move with it, since they are transport-specific -- a
missing ssh client here is a different thing to check than a program
missing from a remote PATH.

Noted in transport.rs rather than built, because nothing needs it yet: a
remote llama-server is spawned as a process but spoken to over HTTP, so a
transport eventually needs "reach this port" as well as "run this".

Verified: cargo test (35), clippy, fmt. Nothing outside transport.rs
mentions ssh now.

irisandClaude Opus 5 c12ab7f098 Take rustfmt's defaults
The code was hand-formatted -- close to rustfmt's output but not it, mostly
in keeping chains and call arguments on one line where the formatter would
break them. That is a per-line decision every future change has to make
again, and reproducing it would mean a config whose only job is to preserve
how the code already looks.

So this is `cargo fmt` at its defaults, with no rustfmt.toml, which is
where the sibling dev-updater checkout already sits: it is clean at the
defaults today, so the two repos now agree on layout without either of them
configuring it.

Formatting only -- no behaviour, no renames, nothing reordered. Verified
after: cargo test (35 pass), cargo clippy --all-targets clean, cargo fmt
--check clean.

irisandClaude Opus 5 19de699bfa Follow dev-updater's own config to RON
The same move, for the same reason: this file is written and read by hand,
and JSON has no comments to say why a host is configured the way it is.
Both house rules come across with it, in config.rs's `format` module and
nowhere else -- a file is the *body* of the config, so no outer parentheses
and nothing indented for them, and `Some` is implicit, which is what makes
`skip_serializing_if` on every optional field load-bearing rather than
tidiness.

The switch is outright: there is no reader for the old format. That is
invisible everywhere except here, because this file holds the enrolled
token hashes -- starting empty leaves the phone unable to talk to the
server and looks, from the phone, like the config having been lost. So a
config.json left beside the new file is named in the log and left alone,
rather than read or deleted.

One wart, documented at DriverKind: the kebab-case spelling is the string
the phone compares against, so it stays, and the file pays for it with
`kind: r#claude-cli` -- a hyphen is not a RON identifier. Renaming the
variant would change what an already-installed build is talking to.

Verified: cargo test, cargo clippy --all-targets, and a real start against
a scratch state directory -- a hand-typed config with comments and a bare
`port: 2222` loads, and what the server writes back sits at column 0 with
no Some(...) in it.

irisandClaude Opus 5 99bcc341c1 Cleanup pass: one home for duplicated logic, stale comments out
Nothing behavioral except two status codes; mostly removing places where
the same rule was written down more than once and could drift.

- server/src/private.rs: the owner-only create/write helpers, which
  config.rs, certs.rs, and the session dirs each had their own copy of
  (certs.rs even duplicated the explanatory comment). One module owns the
  modes now, so the "nothing this server writes is readable by anyone
  else" property is checkable in one place.
- server/src/media.rs: the image media-type/extension table, which the
  four places that have to agree on it each spelled out separately --
  storing an upload, serving it back, building a content block, saving a
  produced image. The differing *defaults* stay at the call sites with
  the reasoning, since they genuinely differ by direction.
- routes.rs: a missing file was a 400 and an unreadable one a 400 with a
  hand-rolled log line; they are now 404 and Internal respectively.
  UnknownSession became NotFound, since it was the only 404-with-message.
- main.rs: xdg_dir takes the variable's value instead of reading the
  environment, which drops the unsafe set_var from its test and lets the
  test actually assert the relative-path rule.
- echo.rs had its own 4-byte hex generator beside session::random_hex.
- claude.rs: the two impl Translator blocks were one type's methods.
- Stale comments: phase-2 markers on shipped work, a permission-mode list
  that had drifted from the CLI's, "dev-updater" as the leaf certificate's
  fallback common name, a half-written sentence in build-apk.sh.
- App: the JSONArray walk written out in four fetchers, the four
  near-identical BackHandlers in AppRoot, and SessionScreen's inline
  fully-qualified names where the file otherwise imports.
- server/wg-test.log was committed by accident; *.log is ignored now, and
  the gitignore comments describe where state actually lives.
- PLAN.md's backend layout gains the new modules and drops hosts.rs for
  the ssh.rs that was built instead.

Verified: 35 server tests, clippy clean, app compiles warning-free, and a
scratch server driven over curl -- attachment upload/serve round-trip with
both a known and an unknown content type, the new 404s, transcript and
session-dir deletion, plus a real claude-cli session answering a prompt.

irisandClaude Fable 5 56491f84b0 Follow the sibling project's rename to dev-updater
It is no longer "local" -- it serves over WireGuard rather than the LAN --
and it is specifically for developing new apps. Renaming the references
here at the same time keeps one name to search for across both repos.

Also drops the last references to gen-dev-cert.sh, which the in-process
certificate generation replaced: the build script and the Gradle task now
say to start the server once, and test-wg-tunnel.sh reads the
certificates from the XDG directory rather than the repo.

irisandClaude Fable 5 d2d2832ec8 Keep state and keys out of the shared repo
The dev VM is treated as untrusted, and the repo is a read-write virtiofs
mount shared with the backend host -- so a CA private key sitting in it is
a key that machine can sign with, and a leaf signed by this CA is one the
phone's pinned app accepts without question. Pinning against a CA the
attacker holds is no pinning at all.

So certificates are now generated on the machine that serves them, into
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ai-app/certs at 0700 with 0600 keys (AI_APP_CERTS
overrides), and config.json and session transcripts move to the XDG config
and data directories. Transcripts move for a plainer reason than the keys:
they are whole conversations, and they were world-readable at 0644.

Two smaller things fall out. The host and VM stop sharing one config,
which had already put a test token on the production backend. And state
stops living where `git clean -xdf` would take the enrollment and every
transcript with it.

State that predates the move is still read from the repo, with a warning
naming where to move it, so an existing install keeps working rather than
silently coming up on an empty config -- the precedence is covered by a
test, since picking the wrong file would otherwise be silent.

Verified: 31 tests, clippy clean; the certificate script writing 0700/0600
into an overridden directory; and the server logging the fallback and
serving from it.

irisandClaude Fable 5 fff1fb49e8 Providers and hosts: what runs, and where, as independent choices
A session now names a provider (what: driver kind, command, models) and
optionally a host (where: an ssh target). Keeping them independent is
what the real setup needs -- the backend runs where the phone can reach
it, which isn't where the CLI is installed -- and it means any provider
can be sent to any host rather than a machine being baked into one.

The first provider is claude-cli, named for the CLI rather than bare
"claude", which would suggest the credit-billed API. A fresh config is
seeded with it so a new install has something to spawn and a worked
example to edit; echo stays a built-in provider needing no config.

ssh.rs builds the child process either way: locally, or `ssh -T` with
BatchMode and keepalives, every argument single-quoted for the remote
shell (a working directory that tries to close the quote and start a
command is covered by a test), and `exec` so dropping the connection
takes the CLI down instead of orphaning it.

App: the spawn screen reads /providers and /hosts instead of hardcoded
lists, so config changes need no rebuild. Chip rows are FlowRow, fixing
the reported bug where a row of models that didn't fit wrapped *inside*
each chip -- one letter of "haiku" per line -- rather than onto a second
line.

Verified: 29 tests, clippy clean; the same claude-cli provider run once
locally and once over ssh, with the remote one visibly in a different
environment; an unknown host name refused with the configured list; and
the spawn screen on the emulator showing server-driven providers, hosts,
and models that wrap.

irisandClaude Fable 5 f2430671a2 Phase 2 complete: images both ways
Inbound: POST /sessions/{id}/attachments stores a picked photo under the
session; message attachmentIds become base64 image blocks in the
stream-json user message (verified live: an uploaded red PNG answered
"Red."). Outbound: image parts in tool results are decoded into the
session's files/ dir and referenced by Image events -- the transcript
stays lean -- and GET /sessions/{id}/files/{ref} serves them (verified
via the Read tool round-tripping the same PNG). The app grows an attach
button (system photo picker, upload-on-pick) and renders Image events
inline with an authenticated pinned fetch. Sent attachments are echoed
into the transcript as Image events so every device shows them.

Attachments and files are addressed under their session (a deviation
from PLAN.md's original bare /attachments -- recorded there) so their
lifecycle is the session directory's: deleting the session is still the
complete path out.

irisandClaude Fable 5 95d389e2b8 Phase 2 core: ClaudeDriver over stream-json, permissions and questions on the phone
The second driver behind the same trait: claude -p with stream-json both
ways, the hidden --permission-prompt-tool stdio flag (without which no
permission ever reaches a client), text deltas streamed from raw API
events, tool_use/tool_result mapped to tool events, and can_use_tool
control requests surfaced as Question events -- plain permissions as
Allow/Deny, AskUserQuestion as one Question per sub-question with the
chosen labels sent back in updatedInput.answers keyed by question text
(wire shapes pinned by live probes against CLI 2.1.237, recorded in the
module doc). The CLI session id is persisted per session dir, so a
backend restart respawns with --resume and loses nothing. set_model
rides the control protocol and persists through the manager; the spawn
screen grows model/cwd/permission-mode fields.

Also: the dev CA now carries proper keyUsage/basicConstraints
extensions (strict verifiers reject it otherwise) -- regenerated and
re-pinned before any real phone has installed the app.

Verified: 20 unit tests + clippy clean; scripted end-to-end over the
HTTP API (AskUserQuestion round trip, Bash permission allow, streaming,
restart with --resume remembering earlier work, delete); and on the
emulator, a live haiku session asking Tea-or-coffee and acknowledging
the tapped answer.
