The truncation logic and error handling added in e1d3c2b7 (Dec 4, 2025)
was lost when message handling was refactored from slack.ts to main.ts.
Changes:
- Add try/catch to all Slack message functions (respond, replaceMessage,
respondInThread, setTyping, setWorking)
- Truncate main messages at 35K chars (Slack limit 40K)
- Truncate thread messages at 20K chars
- Add helpful user-facing notes when truncation occurs
- Log Slack API errors as warnings instead of crashing
Fixes: msg_too_long API errors causing process crash

- Add session.reload() and session.bindExtensions() APIs
- Add /reload command in interactive mode
- Add CLI flags: --skill, --theme, --prompt-template, --no-themes, --no-prompt-templates
- Add pi install/remove/update commands for extension management
- Refactor settings.json to use arrays for skills, prompts, themes

Removes MomSessionManager which was missing methods expected by AgentSession
(appendMessage, getBranch, etc.), causing runtime crashes.
Now uses the standard SessionManager from coding-agent with a fixed context.jsonl
path per channel. The syncLogToSessionManager function handles syncing messages
from log.jsonl using SessionManager's public API.
Ref #595
- Update settings-manager with steeringMode/followUpMode (migrates old queueMode)
- Update sdk.ts to use new mode options
- Update settings-selector UI to show both modes
- Add Alt+Enter keybind for follow-up messages
- Update RPC API: steer/follow_up commands, set_steering_mode/set_follow_up_mode
- Update rpc-client with new methods
- Delete dead code: queue-mode-selector.ts
- Update tests for new API
- Update mom/context.ts stubs
- Update web-ui example
- Removed Attachment from agent package (now in web-ui/coding-agent)
- Agent.prompt now takes (text, images?: ImageContent[])
- Removed transports from web-ui (duplicate of agent package)
- Updated coding-agent to use local message types
- Updated mom package for new agent API
Remaining: Fix AgentInterface.ts to compose UserMessageWithAttachments
- Renamed AppMessage to AgentMessage throughout
- New agent-loop.ts with AgentLoopContext, AgentLoopConfig

- Extracted streamProxy to proxy.ts utility
- Removed agent-loop from pi-ai (now in agent package)
- Updated consumers (coding-agent, mom) for AgentMessage rename
- Tests updated but some consumers still need migration
Known issues:
- AgentTool, AgentToolResult not exported from pi-ai
- Attachment not exported from pi-agent-core
- ProviderTransport removed but still referenced
- messageTransformer -> convertToLlm migration incomplete
- CustomMessages declaration merging not working properly
- SessionEntry now only contains conversation entries (messages, compaction, etc.)
- SessionHeader is separate, not part of SessionEntry
- FileEntry = SessionHeader | SessionEntry (for file storage)
- getEntries() filters out header, returns SessionEntry[]
- Added getHeader() for accessing session metadata
- Updated compaction and tests to not expect header in entries
- Updated mom package to use FileEntry for internal storage
- Add AuthStorage class for credential storage (auth.json)
- Add ModelRegistry class for model management with API key resolution
- Add discoverAuthStorage() and discoverModels() discovery functions
- Add migration from legacy oauth.json and settings.json apiKeys to auth.json
- Remove configureOAuthStorage, defaultGetApiKey, findModel, discoverAvailableModels
- Remove apiKeys from Settings type and SettingsManager methods
- Rename getOAuthPath to getAuthPath
- Update SDK, examples, docs, tests, and mom package
Fixes#296
- SessionManager: add flushed flag, _persist() flushes all entries when first assistant seen
- SessionManager: reset() now creates session header
- MomSessionManager: same pattern, remove pendingEntries/sessionInitialized/startSession/shouldInitializeSession
Implement Agent Skills standard (https://agentskills.io/specification):
- Validate name (must match parent dir, lowercase, max 64 chars)
- Validate description (required, max 1024 chars)
- Warn on unknown frontmatter fields
- Warn on name collisions (keep first)
- Change prompt format to XML structure
- Remove {baseDir} placeholder (use relative paths)
- Add tests and update documentation
fixes#231
coding-agent:
- Export loadSkillsFromDir, formatSkillsForPrompt, and related types
- Refactor skills.ts to expose public API
mom:
- Add skills auto-discovery from workspace/skills and channel/skills
- Fix skill loading to use host paths (not Docker container paths)
- Update README and system prompt with SKILL.md format docs
Track all thread message timestamps during a run. When response is
[SILENT], delete all thread messages before deleting the main message.
This prevents the 'This message was deleted' tombstone in Slack.
When mom responds with just [SILENT], the status message is deleted
and nothing is posted to Slack. Useful for periodic events that check
for activity but find nothing to report.
- Usage summary now shows context tokens vs model context window
- Updated CHANGELOG.md with all recent changes
- Updated README.md with new file structure (log.jsonl/context.jsonl)
- log.jsonl is source of truth, context.jsonl syncs from it at run start
- Backfill fetches missing messages from Slack API on startup
- Messages sent while mom is busy are logged and synced on next run
- Channel chatter (no @mention) logged but doesn't trigger processing
- Pre-startup messages (replayed by Slack) logged but not processed
- Stop command executes immediately, not queued
- Session header written immediately on new session creation
- Deduplicate messages by timestamp
- Strip @mentions from backfilled messages
- Remove old slack.ts and main.ts, rename *-new.ts versions
- Remove user message logging from agent.ts (Slack handler already logs it)
- Add excludeTimestamp param to syncFromLog to skip current @mention
- Sync happens once before each prompt with current message excluded
- Ensures channel chatter and backfilled messages are in context
- Syncs on session creation and before each subsequent run
- User messages formatted as '[username]: text' in context
- Export AgentSession, SessionManager, SettingsManager, compaction from coding-agent
- Create MomSessionManager for channel-based context.jsonl storage
- Create MomSettingsManager for mom-specific settings
- Refactor agent.ts to use AgentSession instead of ephemeral Agent
- Split logging: tool results go to context.jsonl, human messages to log.jsonl
- Enable auto-compaction and overflow detection from coding-agent
Part of #115
- Add try/catch to all Slack API calls in promise chain
- Truncate main channel messages at 35K with elaboration note
- Truncate thread messages at 20K
- Prevents process crash on long messages
- Add message.groups to required bot events in README
- Add groups:history and groups:read to required scopes in README
- app_mention handler now logs messages directly instead of relying on message event
- Add deduplication in ChannelStore.logMessage() to prevent double-logging
- Remove redundant current message append in agent.ts (already in log)
- Add getLastTimestamp() to ChannelStore to read last ts from log.jsonl
- Add backfillChannel() to fetch up to 3 pages (3000 messages) per channel
- Add backfillAllChannels() called in start() before socket connection
- Include mom's own messages (as bot) and user messages, exclude other bots
- Process attachments from backfilled messages
- Add logging: logBackfillStart, logBackfillChannel, logBackfillComplete
- Warn if attachment missing name instead of failing
fixes#103
Fix race condition where app_mention event fires before message event
logs to log.jsonl, causing the user's triggering message to be missing
from the agent's context. Now append the current message directly from
ctx.message to recentMessages.
Breaking Changes:
- Timestamps now use Slack format - run migrate-timestamps.ts for existing logs
Added:
- Channel/user ID mappings in system prompt
- Skills documentation in system prompt
- Debug last_prompt.txt output
- Bash working directory info
- Token-efficient log queries filtering tool calls
Changed:
- Turn-based message context (groups consecutive bot messages as one turn)
- Messages sorted by Slack timestamp
- Condensed system prompt (~5k → ~2.7k chars)
- Simplified user prompt
- Selective logging (skip UI status labels)
Fixed:
- Duplicate message logging from app_mention handler
- Username obfuscation in thread messages
