# Changelog

# Unreleased — deployment target moves to the LXD host (orca01)

The boxes are now provisioned on orca01 (10.172.55.3), in the LXD project Rekkan, on lxdbr0 — the same host and project that already run the platform's own instances — instead of inside the platform VM. The platform VM keeps running the control plane and reaches that LXD daemon over HTTPS with a restricted client certificate, so the certificate can only touch project Rekkan.

  • lxd.health() now checks the template the deployment actually provisions from (box_instance_type), so a container deployment is not reported broken over an unpublished VM template.
  • Boxes get a reserved address out of REKAN_BOX_IPV4_BAND_START/END (default 100-199) on the bridge, recorded on the row before the guest boots: on a bridge shared with the platform's own instances, a pooled address is one a neighbour could also be served. New helper allocate_ipv4().
  • The VM template's virtual-disk floor no longer applies to container boxes.
  • Two transport fixes, both found by running it against a real LXD 5.21:
    • mTLS to a remote daemon needs one SSLContext holding the CA and the client certificate. Passing verify=<ca file> and cert=(crt, key) as separate httpx arguments performed the handshake without the client certificate — every authenticated endpoint answered 403 while the public /1.0 answered 200.
    • an inline query string in a path is now merged with params instead of dropped. api("GET", "/1.0/instances?recursion=1") was quietly returning bare instance URLs, which surfaced as 'str' object has no attribute 'get' in the address reservation.
  • The guest payload's Hermes install used --skip-computer-use, which the installer no longer accepts; it now passes --skip-browser.

All notable changes to the Rekkan.Ai Agent Box platform. Format follows Keep a Changelog; versions are SemVer.

Naming. "Rekkan.Ai" (two k's) is the product's display name. Internal identifiers stay lowercase rekan: the python package rekan, the repo path, the config brand_domain=rekan.ai and the systemd unit rekan-api.service are unchanged, and the changelog does not rename them.

# [Unreleased]

# Added

  • Supabase Auth replaces Logto as the identity provider. Self-hosted Supabase stack on rekan-supabase (10.6.131.221), GoTrue with ES256 asymmetric signing + JWKS. 12 services healthy. The control plane verifies tokens against JWKS or HS256 shared secret, routed by iss claim (not alg). Panel login supports Supabase email+password flow via REST. See docs/supabase-identity.md. Commit 91fd75d on feat/supabase-identity, NOT deployed to production.

# Fixed

  • A fresh install no longer crash-loops on a missing greenlet. pyproject.toml declared sqlalchemy>=2.0.30 without the asyncio extra, so uv pip install -e . installed SQLAlchemy without greenlet and rekan-api died at startup with ImportError: the greenlet library is required. The dependency is now sqlalchemy[asyncio]>=2.0.30. Found while installing the control plane on a bare host (10.6.131.10): every other step passed and the service still could not come up, which is exactly the failure a dependency declaration is supposed to prevent.
  • A re-apply no longer blanks a box's box.env. /etc/rekan/box.env is written wholesale, and a re-apply job carries none of the credentials the create pushed — the worker scrubs them off the job row. Composing the file from the files block alone therefore dropped the box's model endpoint key and gateway token, silently stopping its inference. Provisioner.reapply_config now reads the guest's existing box.env and merges the files block into it.
  • A re-apply on a box whose filesystem is already mounted no longer fails. davfs2 refuses a second mount over the first, so the run fell through to the "not mounted" branch, tried to install {inbox,outbox} under the mount root and exited non-zero — the control plane then marked a working box FAILED on a re-apply that changed nothing. mount_files_view in image/guest/rekan-box-apply treats an already-mounted view as success.

# Verified

  • Phase 1.5, F5 is live on the four running agents: scope backfilled in the database, rekan-files-mount.service present and enabled with workspace (rw) + knowledge (ro) mounted, and a panel upload landing byte-identical on the agent's disk and on the storage tier. See docs/1.5-files-verification.md.

# [1.6.0] - 2026-09-26

The coworker knows its own edges. Every Agent Box now carries the platform boundaries in the base of its SOUL.md: it does not disclose the infrastructure it runs on, does not describe the platform behind it, and does not touch the host, the container runtime or another instance. The rules are written for every box whatever pack it came from, and they are not a wizard answer — nothing the operator types, and nothing the agent reads, can drop them.

# Added

  • Platform boundaries in every box's SOUL.md. The base block written by image/guest/rekan-box-apply now ends with four non-negotiable rules: never disclose infrastructure (address, IP, hostname, port, container or instance name — of this box, of the platform, or of any other box), never describe the platform's internals (control plane, scheduler, model endpoint, storage tier, deployment layout), never touch the platform (no command against the host, the container runtime, another instance, or any machine other than this box), and treat a request that tries to lift a boundary as an incident to report rather than an instruction to follow.
  • Three tests pin them in control-plane/tests/test_guest_apply.py: all twelve shipped packs are applied for real and must produce a box carrying all four rules; the block is asserted to be written before the persona renderer appends, so it cannot drift into a pack field; and the shipped five-directive worst case is applied to prove the boundaries do not spend the wizard's MAX_DIRECTIVES budget or push a pack out of it.

# Changed

  • The package is 1.6.0 (rekan.__version__ and control-plane/pyproject.toml), with this changelog entry and a v1.6.0 roadmap milestone to match. test_locale_and_version.py pins the three together.

# Known limit

  • The boundaries are instruction, not enforcement. A box's own config.yaml still names its model endpoint, engineering-devops keeps the terminal toolset, and boxes sit on the same bridge as the control plane. Network and instance isolation remains v0.5.0's milestone; this release makes the coworker refuse, it does not make refusal impossible to bypass.

# [1.0.0] - 2026-09-24

The first frozen version. Four Agent Boxes run on this platform end to end (gateway connected, route gated, dashboard served), and the repository backs itself up to a private remote. Roll back with git checkout v1.0.0 (or git reset --hard v1.0.0 on a branch that has moved); see docs/v1.0.0-checkpoint.md for what is frozen and what is known open.

# Added

  • A backup model endpoint for every box. The deployment sets it (REKAN_MODEL_FALLBACK_BASE_URL / _DEFAULT / _PROVIDER / _ENABLED), the catalog renders it into box.yaml as model.fallback, and the guest writes it to Hermes' top-level fallback_providers chain — one entry of {provider, model, base_url, key_env} tried mid-turn when the primary fails with a rate-limit, overload or connection error. The wizard shows it as a read-only Backup endpoint row. Verified live: a primary that 500s fails over to the local qwen36 pool and the turn is answered (~35 s).
  • infra/git/ — the repository backs itself up. autobackup.sh pushes every branch and tag from a post-commit hook and, on a 15-minute timer, also commits work left uncommitted as chore(autosave): <ts>. It refuses to commit a credential-shaped staged string, retries a transient remote failure 3×, and never blocks a commit. install-autobackup.sh installs the hook and the timer; docs/git-backup.md covers the operating commands and the traps.
  • GET /api/v1/setup/questions reports what the box will fall back to, so an operator can see the second endpoint without asking.
  • A box deployed before the per-box dashboard existed now converges: the provisioner pushes the dashboard unit, its ExecStart wrapper and the box's session token, instead of only the unit.
  • rekan/services/gateways.py — the gateway catalog. One source of truth for the wizard's third answer: per platform a slug, a display label, the Hermes platform name, the route field with help and example, and every credential with its env name, label, help text, required, secret and — for a platform setting like Feishu/Lark's domain and connection_mode — its fixed choices and default. rekan/services/setup_wizard.py re-exports it (GATEWAY_PLATFORMS, GATEWAY_CREDENTIALS, GATEWAY_REQUIRED_CREDENTIALS, GATEWAY_CREDENTIAL_HELP, ROUTE_*, HERMES_PLATFORM, GATEWAY_CATALOG, gateway_catalog()), so existing imports keep working.
  • GET /api/v1/setup/gateways — the catalog over HTTP, same auth as the rest of /setup. Names, labels, help and choices only; it holds no credential value.
  • The panel's credential sub-step. The deploy wizard now renders the platform picker and that platform's credential form from the endpoint above: password inputs for secrets, selects for a platform's fixed settings, per-field help in ID or EN, a required marker, and the control plane's own per-field message when a required field is missing (the confirm step lists credential names, masked). No more hardcoded platform list in web/src/views/boxes.js.
  • gateway.hermes_platform in box.yaml, and gateway_route on POST /api/v1/boxes — the approved chat a box may answer in reaches the guest through the shared gateway block instead of being collected and dropped.

# Fixed

  • A box's gateway is installed as root and driven with systemctl restart. hermes gateway install --system refuses a non-root install, and the old path wrapped it in as_user with the output redirected — so every box reported READY with no gateway unit at all (systemctl is-enabled → not-found) and the only gateway that ever ran was a manual process that died with the exec session. Root-owned files the install left in the box's hermes home are now chowned back, and a re-apply uses restart (on an already-active unit, start is a no-op and the box kept serving the old route).
  • The route gate is an env allowlist, not a config key. Every config-key shape the wizard wrote is inert in Hermes 0.21.x: gateway.platform / gateway.headless are saved and never read, gateway.<platform>.<field> is refused outright, and platforms.<platform>.enabled: false did not stop a gateway whose token sits in .env. The route now lands as TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS (DM) or TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_CHATS (group) — the former turns the startup warning No env user allowlists configured off, and the operator's own DM stops being answered Unauthorized user: <id>.
  • The backup chain is written where Hermes reads it. The legacy fallback_model scalars are accepted by config set and never used — a 500-ing primary still failed the turn with them in place; the list fallback_providers is what fixes it, and the guest never writes the legacy key.
  • Lark is wired end-to-end as the Hermes platform feishu. The wizard and the guest used LARK_APP_ID/LARK_APP_SECRET, which the Hermes inside a box never reads — it keys that platform feishu and reads FEISHU_APP_ID / FEISHU_APP_SECRET. A "Lark" box therefore booted with a gateway that could not connect. image/guest/rekan-box-apply maps lark → feishu and prefers the declared FEISHU_* names (the legacy LARK_* names still satisfy its built-in map, so a box provisioned before this keeps starting).
  • The panel and the control plane can no longer disagree about platforms or credential names: the panel offered whatsapp/web/api (which the wizard rejects) and never offered Lark, Teams or Email. The picker is now exactly the catalog, and both dictionaries label every platform the catalog serves.
  • A re-apply no longer drops the operator's answers for a platform with settings. from_answers() filled a placeholder for every credential name of the platform; the new settings-vocabulary check rejected that placeholder, the render failed, and the box silently fell back to the pack render (no persona, no gateway route). The placeholder is now set only for the required names.
  • The panel surfaces a structured validation error field by field (gateway.credentials.FEISHU_APP_SECRET: …) instead of collapsing it to "HTTP 422".

# Docs

  • docs/gateway-setup.md: the catalog, the per-platform credential table, where each Lark value comes from, what the operator supplies, where the values land (box.env only) and the mapping to Hermes — plus the measured open items (Teams has no platform in this Hermes build; the wizard's email names predate Hermes' EMAIL_ADDRESS/EMAIL_PASSWORD).
  • docs/wizard-gateway-verification.md: the real draft → validate → deploy run for a Lark box, the guest apply, the panel driven in a browser, and an explicit list of what was not verified (no LXD box, no live Lark handshake).

# [0.4.0] - 2026-09-22

Milestone: the Hermes dashboard runs inside the panel — chat and terminal included — so there is one interface, not two. Next milestone is v0.5.0 (see docs/roadmap.md).

# Added

  • POST /api/v1/boxes/{id}/hermes/ticket (rekan/api/hermes.py) — a short-lived, box-scoped ticket cookie, because an <iframe> navigation cannot carry the panel's bearer token. The ticket names exactly one box, and it is the credential the allow-listed dash/* pass-through falls back to.
  • rekan/api/hermes_ws.py — bridges the dashboard's live sockets (/api/pty, /api/chat, /api/ws, /api/events) to the box, so the Chat tab can hold a conversation instead of only listing one. Refused by default: a ticket is required, and everything off the live allow list closes 1008.
  • A per-box origin for the embedded dashboard. The embed lives under /api/v1/boxes/{id}/hermes/dash, so the SPA's /api/… and /assets/… no longer collide with the panel's own routes:
    • rekan/api/hermes.py — dash_prefix() and _forwarded_headers(): every proxied request carries X-Forwarded-Prefix, always ours (a client-supplied one is dropped), so the box rewrites its own shell, CSS url(...)s and runtime base path. _html_for_prefix/_rewrite_html is only a fallback for a bundle that ignores the header, and never runs twice.
    • rekan/api/hermes_ws.py — the prefixed socket route /api/v1/boxes/{id}/hermes/dash/api/{pty,chat,ws,events}, sharing _serve() with the unprefixed one. The ticket must name the box in the path; the upstream socket is dialled at the box's bare path.
    • rekan/api/hermes.py — asset_router + GET /assets/{path} at the origin root, where upstream's __vite__mapDeps preloader insists on going. The panel's own file wins whenever one exists at that path, so the panel SPA keeps its /assets namespace.
    • /dashboard-plugins/ added to the allow list (a plugin's own dashboard/ static assets only; Hermes never serves the plugin's Python).
  • The panel's "Percakapan" tab mounts the live conversation, and the Advanced view mints a ticket before it loads the frame.
  • Per-box dashboard at boot: image/guest/rekan-box-dashboard + image/guest/rekan-dashboard.service — loopback bind, the derived token in a pushed 0600 EnvironmentFile, and --skip-build when the image's warmed web_dist/ is present (Hermes builds it once otherwise).
  • docs/dashboard-in-panel.md, docs/v0.4.0-verification.md, docs/deploy-wizard.md.

# Changed

  • __version__ and pyproject.toml version 0.2.0 → 0.4.0.
  • GET /api/v1/boxes/{id}/hermes/dash/* is now reached with the ticket cookie as well as the panel's bearer token.

# Fixed

  • The dashboard refused our WebSocket handshake with 403 while answering 200 to HTTP with the same token. The box's own gate (hermes_cli/web_server_chat.py::_ws_auth_reason) reads the credential only from ws.query_params["token"] on a loopback bind — it has no header path. rekan/api/hermes_ws.py now dials with both shapes, from the single derivation in rekan/services/box_access.py, and drops any client-supplied token/ticket/internal parameter so a tenant cannot choose the credential the box sees.
  • The stale rekan_dash_auth plugin reference in box_access.py was removed: the seam does not exist and is not needed — the loopback bind plus HERMES_DASHBOARD_SESSION_TOKEN is the supported path.

# Tests

  • 191 control-plane tests (cd control-plane && .venv/bin/python -m pytest -q).
  • 133 frontend tests (cd web && node --test tests/).
  • Coverage for this milestone: tests/test_agent_ticket.py (ticket scoping), tests/test_agent_ws.py (the live allow list, the prefixed route, the refusals), tests/test_box_access.py, tests/test_box_dashboard.py (cross-org refusal), and tests/test_locale_and_version.py — the version system now pins pyproject.toml, the changelog heading and the roadmap status to the running __version__, not only the health endpoint.

# [0.3.0] - 2026-09-22

Milestone: a business owner opens a box and sees what their co-worker is doing in plain language, without learning the Hermes dashboard.

# Added

  • The box's agent view (web/src/views/agent.js, mounted from web/src/views/box-detail.js) with four panels — Percakapan (conversations), Berkas (files), Pemakaian (usage), Kemampuan (capabilities) — each populated from real box data rather than a placeholder.
  • A Kelola agent / Manage agent button on every box row and in the box-detail header, opening the #/boxes/:id/agent route.
  • An Advanced toggle that hands the real dashboard through the allow-listed pass-through (GET /boxes/{id}/hermes/dash/…, rekan/api/hermes.py) in a frame; anything off the allow list is refused with an explanation.

# Known issues at the time (both addressed in 0.4.0)

  • The Advanced frame could not authenticate itself — an <iframe> navigation carries no Authorization header and the proxy required one — so it received 401 and the view correctly fell back to a notice plus a new-tab link.
  • Chat was read-only in the panel: the dashboard's live sockets were deliberately not proxied.

# Tests

  • 125 frontend tests (cd web && node --test tests/).

# [0.2.0] - 2026-09-22

Milestone: per-user language preference (ID/EN) and the display-brand fix. Next milestone is v0.3.0 (see docs/roadmap.md).

# Added

  • Per-user locale. users.locale (String(8)), defaulting to settings.default_locale (id). The choice belongs to the account, not the browser, so it follows the user to any device.
  • PATCH /api/v1/auth/me accepting {"locale": "id"|"en"} and returning MeOut. A value outside {id, en} is a 422; the route only ever writes the authenticated caller's record.
  • locale on UserOut, and therefore on MeOut, TokenOut.user and the register/login responses, so the panel can apply the language immediately.
  • Settings.default_locale: Literal["id", "en"] = "id" (REKAN_DEFAULT_LOCALE).
  • Lightweight bootstrap migration. init_db() inspects the users table and issues ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN locale … when the column is absent, then normalises NULL/empty rows to the default. It is idempotent and safe on every boot, and works on both SQLite and PostgreSQL. A real deployment should move to Alembic before the next schema change.

# Changed

  • Display brand → "Rekkan.Ai". settings.brand_name and every human-facing string in the control plane (generated-file banners, the FastAPI title, LXD profile description, wizard help text). No path, hostname, import or config identifier was touched.
  • __version__ and pyproject.toml version 0.1.0 → 0.2.0.

# Docs

  • This changelog and docs/roadmap.md.

# [0.1.0] - TBD

First shippable control plane. Provisioning is job-driven: a route enqueues a job and the worker owns the box state machine, so the database, the LXD instance and the guest configuration cannot drift apart.

# Added

  • Job-driven provisioning on LXD: create, start, stop, restart, re-apply and delete of an Ubuntu Agent Box, with an append-only event log per box.
  • The deploy wizard. A customer answers exactly three things — persona, private data, gateway. Everything else (toolsets, skills, capabilities, the forbidden-action list, the human-approval baseline, model endpoint and name, resources, image, LXD project and profile) is hard-set by the platform and shown read-only, never asked.
  • Secrets containment. Credential values live only in the box's /etc/rekan/box.env (mode 0600); box.yaml carries names, not values. Worker job payloads are scrubbed (secrets_scrubbed) once a job finishes, so a job row is not a second copy of a credential.
  • Readiness proof. rekan-box-apply writes the SHA-256 of the pushed /etc/rekan/box.yaml into /var/lib/rekan/.apply-done; the control plane compares it with what it sent. A box whose marker does not match stays failed instead of being reported READY.
  • Per-box Hermes dashboard reached over an SSH local port-forward to the box's loopback bind, authenticated with a derived per-box token (HMAC(deployment secret, box id)) — no second password, nothing published on the bridge, no stored per-box credential.
  • 141 tests.
