The Scheduler sizes the views above the panel from what the chat leaves, so a chat that resizes
silently grew off the bottom and took its own composer with it.
Several headers argued the Scheduler dock was deliberately separate, and the Scheduler's help
never mentioned the assistant at all — including the fix flow that just changed shape.
It kept its own bar, send loop and poll, which is why a thread there died on reload while the
other two were saved and why its controls had drifted from the same controls everywhere else.
Offers, a settable subject, runtime heights and a profile hook — everything the dock does that
the shared component could not, so it can stop being a second implementation.
The picker sat above the transcript and the buttons below it, so the same component read
differently on each surface; size is the only thing a placement should get to choose.
The response was discarded, so a refused stop looked like a completed one, and the payload the
card redraws from is cached for 300s with no invalidation — the container carried on showing as
running until the once-a-minute writer caught up. Stop now confirms; start still does not.
The page interpolated media titles, partner hostnames read over the mesh, and docker folder
names straight into innerHTML — its own header claimed otherwise, and the helpers that would
have fixed it were defined in a page it never loads. Container WebUI values now get a scheme
check before they reach window.open().
The Tools card adopted the AI scripts on the host check alone, and api/ai.php only
tested AI_ENABLED in front of ask, so a disabled subsystem still had rows to run and
an endpoint that answered.
"What is Varaverk" matched the PURPOSE intent, so retrieval returned every
script's one-line purpose and the model answered that the context does not
define the system — while README.md sat in the index unread. A definitional
question with no explicit filter now goes to kind=readme.
Varaverk is a coined word with no spell-check, so it arrives as varavrk,
veraverk, varavek. Edit distance catches those without a pattern that needs
extending per typo. This is search, not identity — a near-miss only widens a
document search, unlike hostname resolution where it must never resolve.
A small operator-written file handed to the model at the start of every
conversation — who you are, how this install is set up, what has already been
decided. Injected ahead of the retrieved passages and marked operator-authored
so it outranks anything they contradict, and never cited as a source.
Deliberately not indexed and deliberately under DATA_DIR: it changes
constantly, vector similarity is the wrong way to retrieve things you were
told to remember, and gitignoring it keeps personal notes out of a pushed
repository. The character cap is a context budget — this text costs its share
of 16k on every single turn.
vv_meta uses columns k/v, so the embedder-match check read nothing and
reported "unrecorded" — a silent pass on the one mismatch that returns
confident nonsense instead of an error. And Ollama reports tags fully
qualified while conf carries the bare name, so an installed embedding model
was reported missing. A health panel that cries wolf is worse than none.
The failures this subsystem actually has are configuration drift, so each
check names the setting to change rather than reporting that retrieval
failed. Notably it catches a conf model tag that is no longer installed, and
an index built by a different embedder than the one configured — vectors
from two models are not comparable, and that failure returns confident
nonsense rather than erroring. Diagnostic questions also get recent log
warnings, attached only then because they cost budget the passages need.
Token and poll rather than SSE, so the api layer keeps one response
convention and reuses the pattern manual_sync already proved. History is
capped at three turns because the model is only fully offloaded at 16384
context and unbounded history would cross that silently. The tab exists
only while AI_ENABLED is true, rejected server-side and not merely hidden.
Writing down what each endpoint actually guarantees made the places it
didn't obvious — shell arguments reaching a crontab or a bash -c
unescaped, master.conf written without tmp+rename, and conf edits that
could be saved without ever being parsed.
