Why

The agent stack was built around one caller: the logged-in admin driving the dashboard's writing agent. Before a public reader-facing agent can be added on www, three things had to stop being implicit:

  1. Who may use an agent kind was hard-coded as adminGuard() on every route and adminId threaded through the port, workflow request and turn step.
  2. The read-only content tools lived inside @chia/agent-writing, bound to the writing tool context — and the writing content port's getPost read unpublished posts, which is fine for the author and a leak for anyone else.
  3. Two turn transports coexisted (prompt+stream, and TanStack chat) with only one consumer.

Writing-agent behaviour is unchanged throughout; this is preparation for a second kind.

What

848420a3 — decouple agent access from the admin role

  • AgentKindService.minTier (CallerTier) — access is the kind's own policy. Writing declares Root.
  • AgentServiceCaller extends Caller + userId; no adminId. Routes use callerGuard(); agentSessionGuard / new agentKindGuard compare tier with minTier (below Session → 401, ownership before tier → 404, tier → 403). list with no kind returns only kinds the caller may use.
  • adminId removed from the workflow request and AgentTurnRequest; the writing step reads getAdminId() itself.
  • New agent-access.controller.test.ts.

5d3bcc4e — split shared content read tools into @chia/agent-content

  • New package: search_posts / get_post / list_posts / list_tags, ContentReadPort, ContentToolContext, names/labels/summaries. Kind-agnostic tool helpers move to @chia/agent-runtime/tools.
  • Visibility is fixed at port construction: createContentReadPort({ visibility: "author" | "public" }) in apps/service. public scopes every detail read to published: true and answers a request for drafts with [] without querying. New content-read.port.test.ts pins this.
  • Writing keeps fetch_url + draft/commit tools; WritingToolContext extends ContentToolContext and no longer carries adminId.

484041f1 — agent.sessions.chat is the only turn transport

  • Removes the unused prompt / stream procedures and the dead use-agent-stream hook + test in dash. The rpc timeout exemption now names chat.

Docs (docs/agent-architecture{,.zh}.md, AGENTS.md ×3) updated in each commit.

Verification

  • pnpm turbo run type:check lint — 39/39 tasks green (the two pre-existing lint warnings in @chia/ui / www are on develop too)
  • pnpm vitest run — 58 files, 356 passed / 1 skipped

Not in this PR

The reader kind itself (@chia/agent-reader, anonymous auth, inline turn driver, quotas, citation contract, www UI) — that is a feature and comes next on top of this.

Who may use an agent kind is now the kind's own policy: AgentKindService
declares minTier, the agent guards compare it against the tier callerGuard
resolved, and AgentServiceCaller carries the resolved Caller instead of an
adminId. The writing kind pins to Root and reads the configured author
itself; nothing kind-generic (workflow request, turn step) carries an admin
identity anymore. Groundwork for a public reader kind.

…tent

The read-only blog tools (search_posts, get_post, list_posts, list_tags),
their ContentReadPort and summaries move out of @chia/agent-writing into a
package any reading kind composes; the kind-agnostic tool-authoring helpers
move to @chia/agent-runtime/tools. Visibility is now a property of the port
the host builds: createContentReadPort({ visibility: "author" | "public" })
— the public view scopes every detail read to published posts and refuses
to list drafts, closing the path by which a public agent could have read
unpublished content through get_post. The writing agent keeps fetch_url and
the draft/commit tools, and its tool context no longer carries an admin id.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The native prompt + stream procedures had no consumer left — the dashboard
moved to the TanStack chat transport and its stream hook was dead code — so
they and the hook go. The kind service still enqueues and tails separately;
chat composes the two behind one request. The rpc timeout exemption now
names chat, the procedure whose response is the live event stream.

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The monorepo adds shared agent content and runtime tooling. The writing agent uses shared read contracts and visibility-scoped ports. Agent routes now enforce caller tiers and use agent.sessions.chat for durable turn streaming. The dashboard stream hook and tests were removed.

Changes

Shared agent content foundation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime helpers and content package
packages/agent-runtime/*, packages/agent-content/*, packages/AGENTS.md, AGENTS.md
Added shared tool-authoring helpers and the @chia/agent-content package. The package exports content types, read tools, registries, and result summaries.
Content visibility port
apps/service/src/services/content-read.port.ts, apps/service/src/services/agent-content.port.ts, apps/service/__tests__/content-read.port.test.ts
Added author and public content visibility behavior. The writing content port delegates read operations to the author-scoped port.
Writing-agent composition
packages/agent-writing/src/*, packages/agent-writing/__tests__/*
The writing agent composes shared read tools and runtime helpers. Its context and write payloads no longer include adminId.

Caller authorization and chat transport

Layer / File(s) Summary
Caller-tier guards and service contracts
packages/api/orpc/guards/*, packages/api/orpc/services/agent.service.ts, apps/service/src/services/agent.service.ts, apps/service/src/services/writing-agent.service.ts
Added kind-level minTier checks and caller resolution. Writing-agent service access requires CallerTier.Root.
Agent route and chat contract
packages/api/orpc/routes/agent.route.ts, packages/api/orpc/contracts/agent.contract.ts, packages/api/orpc/router.ts, packages/api/orpc/router.contract.ts, apps/service/src/routes/rpc.route.ts
Removed separate prompt and stream routes. Agent routes now use caller-aware guards, and chat uses the durable run and stream flow.
Workflow ownership and access validation
apps/service/src/workflows/agent-session.workflow.ts, apps/service/src/steps/agent-turn.step.ts, apps/service/__tests__/agent-access.controller.test.ts, apps/service/__tests__/agent-session.workflow.test.ts
Session ownership uses userId. The configured administrator identity is resolved inside the writing turn. Access tests cover anonymous, API-key, session, and root callers.

Architecture documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Agent architecture references
docs/agent-architecture.md, docs/agent-architecture.zh.md, apps/AGENTS.md
Updated the architecture documentation for shared content tools, caller-tier authorization, visibility scopes, and durable chat streaming.

Consider removing sessions.approve now that chat carries the approval action.

chatAgentRoute handles action.type === "approve" and returns the resulting event stream. This route performs the same service.approve call and discards the cursor, so a client that uses it gets no stream for the resumed turn. If no consumer remains, delete the route and its contract entry.

As per coding guidelines: "Do not preserve backward compatibility. Remove obsolete paths instead of adding compatibility layers, fallbacks, or migrations."

Bind the restated minTier to the real service policy.

The delegate declares CallerTier.Root while writing-agent.service.ts declares its own minTier. The guard reads only this copy. If the two values diverge, authorization silently follows the delegate and no test fails.

Export the tier from one module and reference it in both places.

♻️ Proposed direction
-  /** Restated rather than read through `impl()`: the guard needs it before any agent call. */
-  minTier: CallerTier.Root,

Define WRITING_AGENT_MIN_TIER in a module that carries no heavy imports, then use it for writingAgentService.minTier as well.

Assert that the unauthorized kind is skipped, not just that the page is empty.

With mocked db state, the writing kind's listSessions also returns an empty page. This assertion passes even if canUseAgentKind stops filtering. Spy on the writing kind service and assert listSessions was not called, so the test fails when the filter regresses.

Vitest 4 projects root passWithNoTests project configuration no test files behavior

💡 Result:

In Vitest, the passWithNoTests option is a boolean configuration that determines how Vitest handles scenarios where no test files are detected [1]. By default, this option is set to false, meaning Vitest will fail if no tests are found [1]. When enabled, Vitest will not fail if no tests are found [1]. Key considerations for this configuration include: 1. Usage: You can enable it either via the CLI using --passWithNoTests [1][2] or by setting test.passWithNoTests: true in your configuration file [3][2]. 2. Workspace Environments: If you are using Vitest workspaces, setting passWithNoTests within individual project configurations (e.g., inside a defineWorkspace array) may not have the expected effect [4]. In such cases, passWithNoTests is expected to be set in the global configuration to effectively prevent a failure when no tests are found across the workspace [4]. 3. Root Configuration: The root configuration (if specified) defines the root directory for your project, but the passWithNoTests behavior remains tied to the test execution configuration as described above [3][5]. If you are encountering unexpected failures in a project where you believe this is set, ensure it is defined at the appropriate scope (global vs. project-specific) if you are working within a workspace architecture [4].

Citations:


Add focused Vitest coverage for the shared read tools. packages/agent-content has no matching test files, so its direct vitest --run task fails. The root pipeline masks this failure with passWithNoTests: true.
