Rebuilt the home screen to match hermes --tui: the HERMES-AGENT banner + tagline,
then a session info block (model · Nous Research / dir (branch) / Session: <id>),
then SEPARATE collapsible sections — Available Tools (enabled toolsets each as
'name: tool1, tool2', capped + '(and N more toolsets…)'), Available Skills (N) in
M categories, MCP Servers (N) connected — and a '… /help for commands' summary.
Previously it was one combined '▶ N tools · M skills · K MCP' dropdown that only
listed tools and showed no model/dir/session.
- gateway startup.catalog now returns per-toolset {enabled, tools} (resolved_tools,
session-aware enabled set — mirrors tools.list); py_compile OK.
- store Catalog gains toolset.enabled/tools; new sessionId field + setSessionId,
set on session create/resume (alongside the active-session-file write).
- homeHint takes the store, reads info (model/cwd/branch) + sessionId + catalog.
85 pass; verified live (model·Nous·dir·session + enabled toolsets w/ tools).
The transcript read as one undifferentiated gold blob (user/assistant/tool all
the same color). Adopt the Ink model where color IS the hierarchy, in 3 brightness
tiers:
- USER input → label (gold) — the human's turn stands out.
- ASSISTANT answer → text (bright) — the primary content, brightest.
- TOOL / REASONING → muted (dim) with an ACCENT glyph (⚡/▶/▼ amber) that marks
the block — clearly the secondary 'working area' below the answer.
Spacing: one blank line above every turn (was cramped: user had a blank, the
reply didn't) + the existing gap:1 between parts. Dropped the transcript's extra
marginTop (turns own their spacing now). 85 pass; verified live — gold ask, dim
tool, white answer read as three distinct things.
The transcript scrollbox (stickyScroll+stickyStart=bottom) re-pins to the bottom
on any content-height change when the user is at the bottom (@opentui/core
ScrollBox: `if (stickyStart && !_hasManualScroll) applyStickyStart`). So expanding
a tool/thinking block scrolled the clicked header up off-screen. A
ScrollAnchorProvider (transcript owns the scrollbox ref) lets toolPart/reasoningPart
wrap their toggle so scrollTop is held constant across the height change (re-asserted
over a few frames as layout settles) — the clicked header stays put and the
expansion reveals beneath it. 85 pass.
Home screen now shows the canonical HERMES-AGENT block logo (hermes_cli/banner.py,
gold->amber->bronze via primary/accent/border tokens; width-guarded to a compact
brand line under 102 cols) plus a collapsible '▶ N tools · M skills · K MCP' panel
that expands to per-toolset / per-category / per-server detail.
Data comes from a new opt-in gateway RPC 'startup.catalog' (aggregates
get_all_toolsets + banner.get_available_skills + config mcp_servers); the native
engine fetches it best-effort on session start (Effect.catchCause swallows it on
old gateways). Opt-in => Ink path untouched. py_compile OK. Store gains a typed
Catalog + defensive setCatalog mapper. +2 tests (90 pass); verified live
(1185 tools / 196 skills / 2 MCP, expand shows the full lists).
Turns the read-only Phase-1 view into an interactive shell, split into focused
view components (spec v4 §2 layout):
- view/transcript.tsx: ONE full-height <scrollbox> with a reactive <For>
(opencode's no-scrollback model). Applies the §8 #2 gotchas exactly:
minHeight:0 on the wrapper AND the scrollbox, NO flexDirection on the
scrollbox root, stickyScroll + stickyStart="bottom".
- view/composer.tsx: a native <textarea> captured by ref — flexShrink:0,
focus-on-mount, Enter->submit via keyBindings, imperative .clear() on submit,
and a `submitting` re-entrancy guard. Wired by the entry to fire prompt.submit
(Effect.runFork on the in-hand service value); it's now the PRIMARY input, with
the HERMES_TUI_PROMPT stand-in kept only for launch-with-prompt.
- view/header.tsx + view/messageLine.tsx: extracted, themed (no hardcoded
styles). MessageLine stays flat-text this slice; ordered parts (§7) land in 2b.
test/lib/render.ts now flushes 3 renderOnce passes before capture — a <scrollbox>
needs more than one pass to measure content + apply sticky, else the transcript
row paints blank.
Verified: bun run check green (12 tests / 4 files / 31 expects). Live tmux drive:
typed into the composer -> cleared -> user row -> streamed reply ("Here are three
words"); Ctrl+C quits cleanly even with the textarea focused, no orphan child.
Composer placeholder rendered the live skin's welcome string (skin->theme live).
Smoke P2a + parity matrix updated. Phase 2b (ordered parts/tool render/markdown)
is the next slice.
