_finish_stream appended the completed reply to self.history - whatever
list that name currently pointed at - not to the conversation the
stream was actually answering. /new reassigns self.history to a fresh
list; a stream still running when that happens finished by silently
appending the old conversation's trailing reply onto the new one, which
then rides along in that new conversation's next /chat/stream history
payload. The conversation_id was already captured by closure for this
exact reason (see the tool-denial path); self.history needed the same
treatment.
synapse/memory/service.py was deleted on 2026-08-25 when memory curation
moved in-process (curator.py) - there is no longer a second FastAPI app
to run on :8001. This CLI was evidently built against a pre-curator
baseline: `nexus serve` spawned `synapse.memory.service:app` (fails
with ModuleNotFoundError, logged only to memory.log where nobody would
see it), `nexus start memory`/`stop memory` had no handler at all
(silently fell through to show_help()), and doctor/status/monitor all
carried a "memory service" row that could never be anything but down.
Removed rather than repaired, since there's nothing to repair: the
service, its SERVICES entry, --memory-port/--no-memory, the -m/--memory
target everywhere it was offered (start/stop/logs/LEGACY_TARGETS), and
the memory_port/memory_url settings this PR had added. The `nexus
memory list|add|rm` data commands (nexus_api.py, hitting the backend's
own /memory REST endpoint) are untouched - unrelated, and still work.
Declare Ctrl+C and Ctrl+D as priority Textual bindings so the focused prompt cannot consume them. Drive exit and silent-stream cancellation regressions through Pilot key events instead of calling action handlers directly.
Move chat streaming onto a cancellable async task so Ctrl+C interrupts a pending socket read on macOS instead of waiting for the 120-second read timeout. Add a headless silent-stream regression that verifies prompt recovery and a successful next message.
Capture each stream's conversation ID before starting its worker so /new cannot redirect a later action denial. Add a headless regression that mutates the active conversation while a tool request is in flight.
Keep stream failures in the persistent transcript instead of clearing them with the live preview. Use each tool request's capability token to deny actions immediately until the TUI has an interactive approval flow, and cover both behaviors with focused regressions.
Add a Textual chat interface with threaded SSE streaming, slash commands, interrupt handling, and bare nexus dispatch. Package it behind the tui extra, document usage, and cover command routing, dependencies, and headless interaction with tests.
The CLI shipped from `management/`, which also holds desktop-only pieces (the
Tk control panel, the XFCE panel wiring, the shell wrappers). Packaging that
directory meant the wheel either dragged in tkinter or shipped a broken import.
Split it: `nexusos_cli/` is what the wheel ships and what `nexus`/`ncp`/
`nexusos` dispatch to, `management/` keeps the desktop half.
Alongside the move:
* hatch_build.py decides the interface/web/dist include at build time. dist/
is gitignored, so a static force-include aborts `pip install -e .` on a
fresh clone - before the reader reaches the `npm run build` step. Editable
installs now skip a missing dist; wheels and sdists hard-error naming the
command to run.
* synapse/proc_util.py gives frontend_manager and ncp process inspection and
termination without psutil, which became an optional extra when the wheel
landed. It routes around Windows having no signals, where os.kill(pid, 15)
is an unblockable TerminateProcess rather than a polite request.
* nexusos_cli/monitor.py adds `ncp monitor`, an ASCII dashboard with no curses
or rich dependency so it works in Termux, plain SSH and Windows Terminal.
Collector and renderer are separate so tests feed fixtures, no stack needed.
* tests/test_packaging_deps.py fails the gate when synapse or nexusos_cli
import a distribution pyproject does not declare, and when an optional
dependency is imported at module scope instead of lazily.
* bin/check.sh now builds the wheel, twine-checks it, and asserts the compiled
UI and seed playbooks are actually inside it. A wheel that builds but ships
no dist/ serves a blank page, which only shows up after release.
tests/test_nexus_api.py moves to tests/ with the module it covers.
