Summary

26-commit follow-up to PR #2 that extends the audit engine with exploit proofs and CWE Top 25 / 100% domain coverage, adds xAI (Grok) as a cloud provider with pricing UI, fixes the dev-server detection flow, and introduces a new parallel agent factory system with up to 10 named concurrent agents and a live TUI panel.

Every feature had a follow-up self-audit pass; the last 3 commits close findings from auditing my own audit fixes (yes, really — meta-audit surfaced real bugs).

What shipped

1. Audit engine v2 — coverage + exploits + self-audit (9 commits)

Commit Version What
41614c7 2.10.14 Self-audit round 2: Swift Keychain migration, VSCode XSS fallback
2b30d86 2.10.15 Exploit proof-of-concept generator for confirmed findings
ee58f36 2.10.16 py-001-eval-exec verify_prompt recognizes safe sim-framework exec()
634c524 2.10.17 Bespoke fixer for py-013-bare-except
273bbd7 2.10.18 CWE Top 25 → 25/25 (100%) — 8 new universal patterns + exploits
4e9183b 2.10.19 100% security domain coverage (52/52 CWEs) — 8 more patterns
8cc5540 2.10.20 Self-audit round 3: timing-unsafe token compare + read.ts command injection
1b8ba37 2.10.21 swift-003-insecure-http recognizes Xcode template placeholders
da08ea2 2.10.22 js-014-json-parse-no-catch checks enclosing try scope + script type

New module: src/core/audit-engine/exploit-gen.ts — 26 per-pattern templates (C/C++ OOB, JS/TS XSS/proto-pollution, Python RCE/SQLi, Dart race conditions, Swift Keychain) plus an LLM fallback. Each finding now ships with an attack_vector, payload, expected_result, reproduction_steps, and severity_justification. Rendered under the ## Exploit Proofs section of AUDIT_REPORT.md.

Pattern library growth: 240 → 256 patterns across 21 languages.

New CWEs covered: 918 (SSRF), 862 (Missing Auth), 287 (Improper Auth), 306 (Critical no-auth), 77 (Command Injection), 269 (Privilege Escalation), 94 (Code Injection), 863 (Incorrect Authz), 327 (Broken Crypto), 90 (LDAP), 384 (Session Fixation), 613 (Session Timeout), 59 (Symlink TOCTOU), 73 (External Path), 200 (Info Exposure), 209 (Sensitive Error).

KCode self-audit (2 rounds) closed 5 real findings in KCode's own source:

  • mobile-ios/AppSettings.swift: sessionId in UserDefaults → iOS Keychain migration
  • vscode-extension/chat-panel.ts: innerHTML XSS fallback → safe textContent
  • src/web/server.ts:63 + src/bridge/websocket-server.ts:105: token ===crypto.timingSafeEqual with length-equalization
  • src/tools/read.ts:427: execSync with filePath interpolation → execFileSync with args array

2. xAI (Grok) cloud provider (6 commits)

Commit Version What
e05bc19 2.10.23 Add xAI to CloudMenu + request-builder + swarm cloud detection
01d62e2 2.10.24 Expand model catalog to 19 Grok variants; grok-4.20-0309-reasoning default
66ef838 2.10.25 Show per-provider pricing ranges in the /cloud modal
e40f421 2.10.26 Strip bracketed-paste markers (\x1b[200~...\x1b[201~) from pasted API keys
01034a7 2.10.27 Live USD cost in the Kodi companion panel metrics line
75921c7 2.10.28 Reasoning models get a 32K-token floor + reasoning_effort param
4e102f7 2.10.29 xAI baseUrl normalization (no trailing /v1) + silent migration

Users run /cloud → select xAI (Grok) → paste xai-... key → pricing + available models appear inline → grok-4.20-0309-reasoning becomes the active model. Live cost rendered above the input in the Kodi panel.

Pricing table added for 19 Grok models with real prices from https://api.x.ai/v1/language-models: grok-4, grok-4-0709, grok-4.20-* family, grok-4-fast-*, grok-4-1-fast-*, grok-code-fast-1, grok-3, grok-3-mini.

3. Dev-server detection rewrite (3 commits)

Commit Version What
9db995d 2.10.30 Kill Python http.server fallback for non-web Python projects
d8e4123 2.10.31 Port floor 11000 + show start/stop commands + anti-hallucination rules
e3614ec 2.10.32 Static-HTML detection for single-file dashboards + compacter prompt

Root cause: level1 handlers fell through to python -m http.server 10080 for any directory with a stray index.html plus a stale ~/.kcode/last-project pointer. A real session created a Next.js project (finvortex) but kcode kept launching Python on port 10080.

Fixes:

  • detectDevServer never returns a Python fallback for generic Python dirs
  • Static-HTML branch only triggers when index.html is >= 500 bytes AND no package.json
  • Port floor 11000 with findFreePort(11000, 11999) scanning ss -tln once
  • startDevServer writes ~/.kcode/last-project on success (no more stale pointer)
  • System prompt now has explicit rules forbidding port 3000/8080 + forcing curl verification before claiming "server running"

4. Parallel agent factory (Phases 1-3, 4 commits)

Commit Version Phase What
d91b2ed 2.10.33 1 backend types.ts, names.ts (60 codenames), roles.ts (13 templates), pool.ts (10-agent concurrency), factory.ts, narrative.ts, 24 tests

5. Self-audit cleanup (3 commits)

After pushing the 23 feature commits above, a systematic review surfaced real bugs in my own changes. Closed in:

Commit Version What
2c6a9db 2.10.37 4 HIGH + 1 MEDIUM: intent bypass of pool lifecycle (H1), llmExecutor wrong API key for Anthropic (H2), findFreePort 1000× subprocess spawns (H3), uni-004 matched every Flask route (H4), subprocess executor had no timeout (M2), intent over-triggered on past-tense (M3)
ca7b901 2.10.38 2 MEDIUM + 4 LOW: prompt cache invalidation from fragment injection (M1), uni-005 fired on password !== null existence checks (M5), AgentPanel timer ran on idle pool (L3), snapshot PII (L4, now chmod 600), require() vs import() style (L2), doc for intentional subscriber persistence (L1)
c5be74c 2.10.39 Meta-audit: uni-005 Yoda-style lookahead was misplaced (M5-bis), AgentPanel double-subscribed to events (L1-bis), [...messages].reverse().find() O(n) clone (L2-bis), H1 regression test didn't exercise executorForRole path (L3-bis)

Every finding has either a regression test or an explicit doc-comment explaining why it's intentional.

Tests

86 tests passing across 6 files (was 34 pre-branch for the audit engine alone):

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

GaltRanch and others added 26 commits April 12, 2026 10:18
KCode audit engine v2.10.13 re-scanned its own codebase and
surfaced two new HIGH-severity findings that the v2.10.10 self-audit
had missed (they were in files outside the TypeScript core: Swift
mobile app and VS Code extension).

1. HIGH — sessionId stored in UserDefaults (plaintext plist on disk)
   mobile-ios/Models/AppSettings.swift (swift-004-keychain-no-access)

   The iOS KCode mobile app persisted the session auth token in
   UserDefaults.standard, which writes to an unencrypted .plist
   accessible to iTunes backups and jailbroken devices. Migrated
   sessionId to iOS Keychain Services (Security framework) with
   kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlock access class. Non-sensitive
   preferences (serverURL, model, cwd) remain in UserDefaults.

   Added migration logic: on init, if Keychain has no sessionId but
   UserDefaults has a legacy one, it moves the value to Keychain and
   deletes the UserDefaults entry. Existing users upgrade seamlessly.

2. HIGH — innerHTML XSS fallback in VS Code chat panel
   vscode-extension/src/chat-panel.ts:509 (js-002-innerhtml)

   The code had a ternary fallback: if DOMPurify was not loaded,
   unsanitized markdown-rendered HTML from the model was assigned
   directly to innerHTML. A compromised or manipulated model response
   could execute JS in the VS Code webview. Removed the unsafe
   fallback — when DOMPurify is unavailable, content is assigned via
   textContent (plain text, no HTML rendering but no XSS either).

/fix produced only advisory annotations for these two patterns
(no bespoke fixers exist for swift-004 or js-002), so both were
fixed manually. The annotations were reverted before the manual fix
to keep the diff clean.

Bump to v2.10.14.

New module: src/core/audit-engine/exploit-gen.ts

After the audit engine confirms a finding, the exploit-gen module
generates a concrete proof-of-concept exploit that proves the
vulnerability is real and exploitable — not just a pattern match.
This is standard in professional audit tools (Burp Suite, Metasploit,
OWASP ZAP).

Each exploit proof includes:
  - attack_vector: how the attack is delivered
  - payload: the concrete malicious input
  - expected_result: what happens when exploited
  - reproduction_steps: step-by-step instructions
  - severity_justification: CVSS-style reasoning

Two strategies:
  1. Template-based (deterministic) — 18 per-pattern templates that
     produce payloads from the finding's matched_text and context.
     Fast, reliable, no LLM call needed.
  2. LLM-assisted (optional fallback) — for patterns without a
     template, asks the model to craft a PoC from the code context.

Templates cover the most critical pattern families:

  C/C++: cpp-001, cpp-003 (OOB read via HID packet), cpp-004 (fd
         leak DoS), cpp-006 (strcpy overflow)
  JS/TS: js-002 (innerHTML XSS), js-007 (command injection),
         js-008 (prototype pollution), js-014 (JSON.parse crash)
  Python: py-001 (eval/exec RCE), py-002 (shell injection),
          py-004 (SQL injection), py-006 (hardcoded secret),
          py-008 (path traversal)
  Dart:   dart-005 (setState race), dart-006 (Future error),
          dart-007 (JSON null crash)
  Swift:  swift-004 (UserDefaults credential leak)
  Universal: uni-001 (hardcoded IP recon)

Integration:
  - ExploitProof type added to types.ts
  - AuditResult gains optional `exploits` field
  - Report generator renders an "Exploit Proofs" section in the
    markdown report with payload blocks, repro steps, and severity
    justification for each finding

The module only GENERATES exploits as structured data for the
report. It does NOT execute anything.

Bump to v2.10.15. All 34 audit-engine tests still pass.

… patterns

TrickHLA audit (NASA Trick simulation framework) produced 40 false
CRITICAL findings because every input.py used the standard Trick
convention:

    exec(open("Modified_data/sine_init.py").read())

This is exec() on a hardcoded local file path — the developer
controls both the path and the file content. There is no attacker
input involved. The old verify_prompt was too broad: it asked "does
the argument contain file content?" and the verifier correctly said
yes (it does read a file), triggering a CONFIRMED verdict.

The refined verify_prompt now explicitly lists 7 safe patterns the
verifier should mark FALSE_POSITIVE:

  1. exec(open('hardcoded/path.py').read()) — sim framework convention
  2. eval/exec on a hardcoded string literal
  3. exec() in test harness / conftest.py / fixture setup
  4. eval() in CLI/REPL sandboxed tools (IPython, Jupyter, debugger)
  5. exec(compile(...)) from internal code-gen templates
  6. eval/exec in migrations, build scripts, setup.py
  7. exec() where the file path is a relative hardcoded constant

The key question the verifier now answers: "does an ATTACKER control
the string being eval'd/exec'd?" If the string comes entirely from
files the developer controls, it's safe.

Bump to v2.10.16. 34 audit-engine tests still pass.

Adds a real code transform for bare `except:` → `except Exception:`.
Previously this pattern only had a generic annotation recipe, so /fix
would add a KCODE-AUDIT comment and leave the bug in place.

The fixer matches `except:` with any indentation, skips lines that
already use `except Exception:`, and preserves trailing comments.

Registered in BESPOKE_PATTERN_IDS and the applyOneFix switch.

Bump to v2.10.17. 34 audit-engine tests pass.

Closes all 8 CWE gaps from the 2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous
Software Weaknesses. The audit engine now covers 25/25.

New patterns added to UNIVERSAL_PATTERNS (cross-language):

  CWE-918 uni-003-ssrf
    User input in server-side HTTP request URLs. Detects requests.*,
    fetch(), http.Get/Post, HttpClient patterns where the URL comes
    from a variable (not hardcoded).

  CWE-862 uni-004-missing-auth
    Sensitive route handlers (/admin, /api, /internal, /dashboard,
    /settings, /users, /config) without visible auth decorators or
    middleware. Works for Flask, Express, Spring, Django.

  CWE-287 uni-005-weak-auth-compare
    Auth credentials compared with ==/=== instead of constant-time
    comparison. Detects password, token, secret, api_key, session_id
    in comparison expressions.

  CWE-306 uni-006-critical-no-auth
    Destructive endpoints (delete, shutdown, reset, grant, revoke,
    impersonate) without authentication.

  CWE-77  uni-007-command-injection-concat
    Command strings built via concatenation/interpolation with
    variables. Broader than CWE-78 (which targets specific functions).
    Covers template literals, f-strings, string+, #{}.

  CWE-269 uni-008-privilege-escalation
    setuid(0), chmod 777, seteuid(0), running-as-root patterns.
    The verify prompt distinguishes privilege drops (safe) from
    escalations (dangerous).

  CWE-94  uni-009-code-injection
    Dynamic code compilation from external input: new Function(),
    compile(), CodeDom, GroovyShell, ScriptEngine.eval,
    instance_eval, create_function. Broader than CWE-95 (eval).

  CWE-863 uni-010-client-side-auth
    Authorization decisions reading is_admin/role/permission from
    request.body/query/params/cookies instead of server session.

Each new pattern has:
  - A regex that works across 7+ languages
  - A context-aware verify_prompt that lists specific FALSE_POSITIVE
    cases to reduce noise
  - A recipe entry in fixer.ts (advisory annotation)
  - An exploit template in exploit-gen.ts with concrete payloads

Coverage after this commit:
  - Patterns: 248 (was 240)
  - OWASP Top 10: 10/10 categories ✅
  - CWE Top 25: 25/25 ✅ (was 17/25)
  - Exploit templates: 26 (was 18)
  - Languages: 21
  - All 34 audit-engine tests pass

Bump to v2.10.18.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Audit engine now covers 52/52 CWEs across 18 security domains
(was 44/52 = 85%). 100% coverage.

New patterns:

  CWE-327 uni-011-weak-crypto
    Detects MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, MD4 usage in security contexts.
    Verify prompt distinguishes security use (CONFIRMED) from
    non-security use (cache keys, ETags, file checksums = FP).

  CWE-90  uni-012-ldap-injection
    LDAP filter built via string concatenation. Detects Python
    ldap3, Java DirectorySearcher, PHP ldap_search, Node ldapjs.

  CWE-384 uni-013-session-fixation
    Login handler that doesn't regenerate session ID after auth.
    Checks for session.regenerate(), changeSessionId(),
    session_regenerate_id() near the login success path.

  CWE-613 uni-014-no-session-timeout
    Sessions without expiration or with >30 day lifetimes.

  CWE-59  uni-015-symlink-toctou
    Classic check-then-use file patterns vulnerable to symlink
    races. Verifier recognizes O_NOFOLLOW / realpath as safe.

  CWE-73  uni-016-external-file-path
    User input directly used as a file path. Verifier recognizes
    allowlist validation and server-side ID-to-path mapping as safe.

  CWE-200 uni-017-info-exposure
    Sensitive internal state (passwords, tokens, stack traces) in
    HTTP responses.

  CWE-209 uni-018-sensitive-error
    Raw exception messages / stack traces returned to clients.

All 8 patterns have:
  - Cross-language regex (7-11 languages each)
  - Context-aware verify_prompt with specific FALSE_POSITIVE cases
  - Advisory recipe entry in fixer.ts

Coverage:
  - Patterns: 256 (was 248)
  - OWASP Top 10: 10/10 ✅
  - CWE Top 25: 25/25 ✅
  - Security Domains: 52/52 (100%) ✅
  - Tests: 34/34 passing, 854 expect() calls

Bump to v2.10.19.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
KCode audit engine v2.10.19 re-scanned its own source tree with the
new CWE Top 25 gap patterns and surfaced 3 real findings the previous
self-audit had missed:

1. HIGH — timing-unsafe auth token comparison
   src/web/server.ts:64 (uni-005-weak-auth-compare / CWE-287)

   The /ws WebSocket upgrade endpoint compared the supplied token to
   the configured token using `!==`, which short-circuits on the
   first character mismatch and leaks timing information. An attacker
   on a low-latency network can recover the token character by
   character by measuring response time differences.

2. HIGH — same timing-unsafe comparison in the bridge websocket server
   src/bridge/websocket-server.ts:106 (uni-005-weak-auth-compare)

   Both were fixed by introducing a `timingSafeTokenEqual()` helper
   that wraps crypto.timingSafeEqual (Node.js crypto) with length-
   equalization handling: the helper converts both strings to equal-
   length Buffers and performs a fake comparison on length mismatch
   to minimize timing variance across length differences.

3. CRITICAL — command injection via LibreOffice invocation
   src/tools/read.ts:428 (js-007-command-injection / CWE-78)

   The Read tool's Office-document path built a shell command via
   template literals: `libreoffice --headless --convert-to "X"
   --outdir "Y" "FILEPATH"`. If FILEPATH came from a malicious tool
   call with embedded shell metacharacters (backticks, semicolons,
   command substitution), the injection would break out of the
   intended command. Replaced execSync with execFileSync and passed
   the arguments as an array, which bypasses the shell entirely.

   Removed the unused execSync import.

All three patterns previously only had advisory annotations. The
fixes here are manual because there are no bespoke fixers for
CWE-287 (requires importing a crypto helper) or the particular
js-007 shape (requires restructuring the call).

Bump to v2.10.20. 47 passing tests in the three affected files.

…olders

NASA spotthestation audit surfaced a false CONFIRMED on an HTTP URL
that was actually Xcode's default WidgetKit template:

    .widgetURL(URL(string: "http://www.apple.com"))

The developer never touched this scaffold file — it's generated
boilerplate, widgetURL is a deep-link (not a network request), the
target is HSTS-preloaded, and the whole struct lives in a Widget
declaration that is template code. Not a real bug.

The old verify_prompt only asked "localhost or production?" — it
didn't recognize template/preview/deep-link cases. Refined to list
6 explicit FALSE_POSITIVE cases:

  1. Xcode template boilerplate (widgetURL to apple.com, etc.)
  2. Deep-link URLs (widgetURL/openURL — no data transmitted)
  3. URLs inside #Preview / PreviewProvider / _Previews structs
  4. Well-known HSTS-preload domains (apple.com, google.com, github.com)
  5. URLs in tests, #if DEBUG blocks, sample data
  6. URLs in Info.plist / ATS exception entries

Only URLs that actually reach URLSession/Alamofire/AsyncHTTPClient
at runtime for real application data now produce CONFIRMED verdicts.

Bump to v2.10.21. 34 audit-engine tests still pass.

…cript type

NASA mmt audit produced 2 false CONFIRMED on JSON.parse calls:

1. setup/setupCmr.js:563 — a seed script reading local JSON fixtures.
   Crashing on bad fixture input is the DESIRED behavior here (fail
   fast so the developer fixes the fixture), not a bug.

2. serverless/src/edlRefreshToken/handler.js:74 — the JSON.parse is
   inside a try { ... } catch (error) block that wraps the entire
   handler function from line 23 to line 106. The catch absorbs
   SyntaxError and returns a 400. The verifier missed this because
   it only looked at the immediate surrounding lines, not the full
   enclosing function scope.

Refined the verify_prompt with 5 FALSE_POSITIVE cases:

  1. Any enclosing try/catch in the same function — even 50+ lines
     above. Explicit instruction to scan UP for unclosed `try {`.
  2. Async functions called from Promise.catch / unhandledRejection.
  3. Setup/seed/init/CLI scripts (setup/, scripts/, seed/, bin/,
     tools/) where crash-on-bad-input is the DESIRED behavior.
  4. Hardcoded constants or JSON.stringify round-trips.
  5. Test code (test/, __tests__/, *.test.js, *.spec.js).

Adds xAI to the /cloud interactive menu alongside Anthropic, OpenAI,
Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, and Together AI. xAI exposes an OpenAI-
compatible API at https://api.x.ai/v1, so KCode routes Grok requests
through the existing /v1/chat/completions code path with a Bearer
token — no new transport code needed.

Changes:

  src/ui/components/CloudMenu.tsx
    Adds xAI provider entry: envVar XAI_API_KEY, settingsKey
    xaiApiKey, baseUrl https://api.x.ai/v1. Default model list:
    grok-4, grok-4-latest, grok-4-fast-reasoning, grok-3, grok-3-mini.

  src/core/request-builder.ts
    resolveApiKey now recognizes models starting with "grok" OR
    any baseUrl containing "x.ai" and returns XAI_API_KEY (or the
    config.apiKey fallback).

  src/core/pricing.ts
    Adds pricing for grok-4, grok-4-latest, grok-4-fast-reasoning,
    grok-3, and grok-3-mini so /stats reports session cost correctly.

  src/core/swarm.ts
    Includes "grok" and "xai" prefixes in the cloud-model detection
    used when spawning subagents, and adds XAI_API_KEY to the env
    var propagation check.

Verified against the live xAI endpoint: the /v1/chat/completions path
returns a structured JSON response for the API key format. (Current
test account has no credits; no additional validation available.)

User-facing: /cloud now lists "xAI (Grok)" as the 7th provider.
Select it, paste your xai-... key, and Grok models are registered
automatically and become the active model.

Bump to v2.10.23.

…ault

Fetched the real model list from https://api.x.ai/v1/language-models
and updated KCode to match. Previously listed 5 models based on
public docs; the live catalog has 11+ active Grok models and the
user's preferred default is grok-4.20-0309-reasoning (the current
flagship reasoning model at $2/$6 per 1M tokens).

CloudMenu changes:
  Default order (first = active after /cloud):
    1. grok-4.20-0309-reasoning  (user-preferred default, flagship)
    2. grok-code-fast-1           (xAI's code-optimized model,
                                    $0.20/$1.50 — cheapest for KCode use)
    3. grok-4-fast-reasoning      ($0.20/$0.50, multimodal, fast)
    4. grok-4                     ($3/$15, previous flagship)
    5. grok-3-mini                ($0.30/$0.50, text only, cheapest)

Pricing (src/core/pricing.ts) — added 19 entries covering:
  - grok-4 / grok-4-latest / grok-4-0709
  - grok-4.20 family (reasoning, non-reasoning, multi-agent)
    including the 0309 date-stamped variants
  - grok-4-fast family (reasoning + non-reasoning)
  - grok-4-1-fast family (reasoning + non-reasoning)
  - grok-code-fast / grok-code-fast-1
  - grok-3 / grok-3-mini

Prices verified against xAI's /v1/language-models endpoint. The
endpoint reports prices as USD ticks where 1 USD = 100,000,000
ticks, so a token_price of 20000 → $2 per 1M tokens.

Live smoke test against grok-3-mini returned a valid chat completion,
confirming the OpenAI-compatible endpoint works end-to-end with
KCode's existing request-builder path.

Bump to v2.10.24.

The /cloud interactive menu now displays USD-per-1M-token pricing
next to each provider. Users can see at a glance which providers
are cheap (Groq, DeepSeek, xAI fast variants) vs expensive
(Anthropic Opus, OpenAI o3) before they commit to pasting an API
key.

Visual changes:

  Provider list (select stage):
    ▸ Anthropic            ✓ OAuth  $0.80–$15 in / $4–$75 out per 1M
          Models: claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-opus-4-6, claude-haiku-4-5
          Flagship: claude-opus-4-6 — $15/$75 per 1M tokens
          Cheapest: claude-haiku-4-5 — $0.8/$4 per 1M tokens

    OpenAI              ✓ OAuth  $0.15–$10 in / $0.60–$40 out per 1M
    xAI (Grok)                   $0.20–$2 in / $1.50–$6 out per 1M
    ...

  Input stage (after selecting a provider):
    Provider: xAI (Grok)
    Base URL: https://api.x.ai/v1
    Format:   xai-...
    Pricing:  $0.20–$2 in / $1.50–$6 out per 1M
    API Key:  ▌

Each provider now has a `pricing` field with flagship + cheapest
model entries (name, input, output in USD per 1M tokens). A small
`formatPricing()` helper renders the range as
"$X–$Y in / $A–$B out per 1M".

Prices sourced from each provider's public pricing page as of 2026:
  - Anthropic: opus $15/$75, haiku $0.8/$4
  - OpenAI: o3 $10/$40, gpt-4o-mini $0.15/$0.60
  - Gemini: pro $1.25/$10, flash $0.15/$0.60
  - Groq: llama-3.3-70b $0.59/$0.79, gemma2-9b $0.20/$0.20
  - DeepSeek: reasoner $0.55/$2.19, chat $0.27/$1.10
  - Together: llama-3.3-70b $0.88/$0.88, qwen2.5-coder-32b $0.80/$0.80
  - xAI: grok-4.20-reasoning $2/$6, grok-code-fast-1 $0.20/$1.50

A footnote below the provider list reminds users to check /stats
for live per-session costs.

Bump to v2.10.25.

When the user pastes an API key into the /cloud modal, some
terminals (xterm with bracketed-paste mode, kitty, most modern
emulators) wrap the pasted content in \x1b[200~ ... \x1b[201~
markers. Ink's useInput hook delivers those markers as literal
characters, so the API key ended up stored as "[200~xai-KEY[201~"
with the bracketed markers embedded in the state.

The user saw "[200**...**201~" in the masked input and any attempt
to actually use the key would fail against the provider API.

Fix: in the input stage, strip the markers from every input chunk
before appending to state. Patterns handled:
  - \x1b[200~   / \x1b[201~   (raw ESC form)
  - [200~       / [201~       (if ESC byte already lost)
  - Any other C0 control char (0x00-0x1f except \x09 tab) — API
    keys are plain ASCII so this is safe to clamp.

Additional defensive strip at submit time (the "confirm" stage) as
a belt-and-suspenders in case anything got through.

Verified against the xAI paste path that showed the bug earlier.

Kodi previously showed tok/tools/context/5h/time in its metrics line
but no per-session USD cost. Users on paid providers (xAI, Anthropic,
OpenAI) had to run /stats to see what their session was costing.

New behavior:

  ╭───────╮  KCode v2.10.27 — Kulvex Code by Astrolexis
  │ o   o │  grok-4.20-0309-reasoning • auto • ~/projects
  ╰───┬───╯  tok:195 • tools:0 • $0.0023 • [░░] 0% • 5h:[█] 12% • 30s
     /|\
     / \

The cost is shown in yellow (warning color) between tools: and the
context bar. Format:
  - < $0.01: 4 decimals ($0.0023)
  - >= $0.01: 2 decimals ($0.12)
  - Hidden when 0 (local models, or no usage yet)

Implementation:

  src/ui/App.tsx
    New state `sessionCostUsd` with a useEffect that recomputes
    whenever `tokenCount` or `config.model` changes. Imports
    getModelPricing + calculateCost from core/pricing and applies
    them to the cumulative input/output tokens from
    conversationManager.getUsage(). Falls back to 0 for local
    models (pricing = null).

  src/ui/components/Kodi.tsx
    New optional `sessionCostUsd` prop in KodiProps. Renders in the
    existing line 3 metrics row, only when > 0 so local-model
    sessions stay clean.

Works for all 7 cloud providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Groq,
DeepSeek, Together, xAI) thanks to the pricing table added in
earlier commits.

Bump to v2.10.27. 12 Kodi render tests still pass.

Symptom: user ran kcode with grok-4.20-0309-reasoning on a project,
the model applied several edits successfully, then returned an
empty response mid-task. KCode's "(empty response — the model
returned no text)" fallback fired.

Root cause: reasoning models burn a LARGE number of tokens on
internal chain-of-thought BEFORE emitting visible output. A
"medium" effort budget of 16K can be entirely consumed by reasoning
on complex multi-step tasks, leaving nothing for the actual
response. Baseline measurement with grok-3-mini: a 5-word answer
used 517 reasoning tokens; grok-4.20-reasoning burns more.

Two fixes, both in request-builder.ts:

1. Reasoning-model detection + max_tokens floor
   New `isReasoningModel` check matches:
     - OpenAI: o1, o3, o4 prefixes
     - xAI: any model name containing "reasoning" or "reasoner",
       plus grok-3-mini and grok-4.20 aliases
   When true, effortMaxTokens is clamped to a floor:
     - 32K for low/medium effort
     - 64K for high/max effort
   This guarantees the model always has headroom after reasoning.

2. reasoning_effort parameter (scoped to xAI + OpenAI)
   Maps KCode effort → provider reasoning_effort:
     - low  → "low"
     - medium → "medium"
     - high/max → "high"
   Only sent when the baseUrl contains x.ai or openai.com, so
   other OpenAI-compatible providers (Groq, DeepSeek, Together)
   don't receive an unknown field and 400 out. DeepSeek Reasoner
   uses its own mechanism and gets only the max_tokens bump.

Bump to v2.10.28. 34 audit-engine tests still pass.

Three related fixes for the xAI integration after hitting 404 and
400 errors in a real session.

1. xAI baseUrl was wrong (404 root cause)
   CloudMenu registered xAI with baseUrl "https://api.x.ai/v1",
   but KCode's request builder already appends /v1/chat/completions
   to the stored baseUrl. That produced the URL
   "https://api.x.ai/v1/v1/chat/completions" which xAI 404'd. Changed
   to "https://api.x.ai" (no trailing /v1), matching the convention
   used by the other six providers.

2. Silent migration for existing installs
   Added normalizeBaseUrl() in src/core/models.ts that runs on every
   models.json load. If a stored baseUrl ends in "/v1" AND the host
   is one of the six known cloud providers, the "/v1" suffix is
   stripped before the URL reaches the request builder. Users who
   already ran /cloud with the buggy 2.10.24–2.10.28 version get
   their existing models fixed on next startup with no /cloud rerun.

3. reasoning_effort scoped to OpenAI o-series only
   The previous commit sent reasoning_effort to any xAI or OpenAI
   reasoning model. Live testing showed xAI's support is per-model:
     - grok-3-mini   + reasoning_effort → accepts ✓
     - grok-4.20-0309-reasoning + reasoning_effort → rejects 400
       "Model grok-4.20-0309-reasoning does not support parameter
       reasoningEffort."
   Rather than maintain a per-model allowlist for xAI, we drop the
   field entirely for xAI requests and rely on the max_tokens
   floor (32K for reasoning models) from the previous commit to
   prevent empty-response failures. For OpenAI o1/o3/o4 the field
   is documented and stable, so we still send it there.

Verified against the live xAI endpoint:
  - "https://api.x.ai/v1/chat/completions" responds OK to
    grok-4.20-0309-reasoning WITHOUT reasoning_effort
  - normalizeBaseUrl fixes the 5 user-registered Grok models on
    next models.json load

…ttp.server

Three fixes for the level1 dev-server flow that caused kcode to
spuriously launch \`python -m http.server 10080\` on a Next.js
project (finvortex) instead of \`next dev\`.

1. Remove the python http.server fallback for generic Python
   directories (pyproject.toml / requirements.txt without a known
   web framework). That fallback never matched what a user wanted
   for backend code — it just served the directory's static files.
   Now we return null and let the LLM figure out the right command.

2. Tighten the static-HTML python fallback. It now requires:
     - an index.html at root
     - NO package.json (fixes the case where an index.html inside
       a Next.js project triggered the wrong branch)
     - at least one of: styles/, css/, assets/, static/
   That's the shape of a real static site, not a stray index.html
   in a dev project.

3. Add a port-override regex so messages like "usa el puerto 15965"
   or "el servidor no levantó, cambia al puerto 15965" trigger a
   retry on the new port. Previously only anchored start verbs
   ("levantalo en puerto N") were recognized, so port overrides
   sent mid-conversation were ignored and the LLM had to
   improvise — often running the wrong command.

4. startDevServer now writes ~/.kcode/last-project after a
   successful launch. The old flow only updated last-project when
   the web-engine CREATED a project, so iterating on an existing
   project never refreshed the pointer. A stale last-project (e.g.
   pointing to a deleted directory) would then cascade into the
   python fallback on the next run command.

The user's stale \`~/.kcode/last-project\` (pointing to a
deleted \`my-site\` directory) has been cleared as part of this
commit so the immediate session is unblocked.

Bump to v2.10.30. 34 audit-engine tests still pass.

…rt/stop commands

Three related changes to fix dev-server hallucinations and port
collisions observed in real kcode sessions.

1. Port floor raised from 10080 to 11000
   level1-handlers.ts: detectDevServer() now scans 11000–11999 for
   the first free port instead of defaulting to 10080. Added
   findFreePort(start, end) that uses `ss -tln` to check which
   ports are already bound. 10080 was colliding with Docker and
   other tools on shared machines.

   KCODE_PORT_FLOOR = 11000
   KCODE_PORT_CEILING = 11999

   Explicit user requests (e.g. "levantalo en puerto 15965") still
   win — the user knows what they want.

2. Start/stop commands shown at launch
   startDevServer() output now includes an explicit "How to manage
   this server manually" block:
     Start:  cd <path> && npm run dev -- --port 11000
     Stop:   kill <pid>   (or: pkill -f 'npm')
     In kcode: "para el server"  or  /stop
   Users can copy these into another terminal to manage the server
   after kcode exits.

3. Anti-hallucination rules in the system prompt
   system-prompt-layers.ts: new "Dev-Server Lifecycle" section under
   the Runtime CRITICAL block. Observed failure mode: grok-4.20
   (and other reasoning models) were claiming "the server is running
   at http://localhost:3000 ✅" without ever starting it or
   verifying with curl. The new rules require:

     - Actually start the server via Bash (not just describe it)
     - Verify with curl -sS --max-time 3 http://localhost:PORT
       before claiming success
     - Always show start + stop commands to the user at the end
     - If the user's message implied running ("y arrancalo"), the
       model MUST start the server itself, not defer as "next step"
     - Never reuse 3000 — scan 11000–11999 for a free port
     - Never claim runtime behavior ("auto-updates every 30s")
       unless observed — inferring from source code is NOT
       verification

Port guidance also updated: the old "10000+" advice now reads
"11000+ for KCode dev servers" with specific anti-ports listed
(3000, 5000, 8000, 8080, 10080).

Bump to v2.10.31. 34 audit-engine tests still pass.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Session review showed grok-4.20-reasoning still skimmed past the
v2.10.31 system-prompt rules and suggested port 8080 for a pure-
HTML Bitcoin dashboard (no package.json, no start attempt, no curl
verification). Two fixes:

1. Static-HTML detection relaxed
   level1-handlers.ts: detectDevServer() now detects single-file
   static sites (just an index.html with Tailwind/Chart.js from
   CDN) without requiring a styles/css/assets subdirectory. The
   previous rule excluded the common "single HTML file with CDN
   deps" case. New rules:
     - index.html exists at project root
     - NO package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml
     - index.html is >= 500 bytes (not a placeholder)
   When all hold, return Static with command:
     bunx serve -l 11000 .        (if bunx is on PATH)
     python3 -m http.server 11000  (fallback)

   Added tryWhich(bin) helper that uses `command -v` to check PATH.
   Prefer bunx over python3 per the CLAUDE.md "always use Bun" rule.

2. System-prompt rules compacted and made imperative
   system-prompt-layers.ts: the 6-rule list from v2.10.31 was too
   verbose for reasoning models. Reasoning models (grok-4.20,
   o3-series) skim long instruction lists during their chain of
   thought and miss specific items. Rewrote as 5 sharper rules
   with the killer directive at the top:

     **NEVER claim a server is running without verifying with
     curl. NEVER use port 3000, 5000, 8000, 8080, or 10080 —
     only 11000–11999.**

   Each rule now includes the exact shell command the model should
   emit, including the static-HTML fallback (`bunx serve`). Rule 5
   explicitly covers the observed failure mode: "If you tried and
   failed to start, do not pretend it's running."

Bump to v2.10.32. 34 audit-engine tests still pass.

…rrative)

Adds the backend for a parallel agent orchestration system. Up to 10
agents run concurrently, each with a unique codename (Atlas, Orion,
Vega, ...), organized into named groups, and referenced naturally
in the LLM's responses ("waiting for Atlas to finish the audit").

Not wired to the conversation loop or TUI yet — Phase 2 adds the
live agent panel, Phase 3 adds the automatic trigger. This commit
is the pure-logic backend that can be tested and iterated on first.

New module: src/core/agents/

  types.ts       Agent, AgentSpec, AgentGroup, AgentStatus, PoolEvent,
                 PoolStatus, AgentExecutor. Complete type surface.

  names.ts       NameGenerator — reserves 60+ curated codenames
                 (Greek gods, constellations, stars, astronomical
                 objects). Releases names on retire. Overflows with
                 numeric suffixes (Atlas-2, Atlas-3) when exhausted.

  roles.ts       ROLES registry with 13 templates:
                   auditor, fixer, tester, linter, reviewer,
                   architect, security, optimizer, docs, migration,
                   explorer, scribe, worker
                 Each has an icon (emoji), displayName, system prompt
                 seed, tool allowlist, and default maxTurns.
                 roleFromTask(text) picks the best role via
                 keyword-based heuristic.

  pool.ts        AgentPool class — lifecycle management, queue,
                 events, groups, snapshot/restore. Highlights:
                   - spawn(spec, executor?): Agent
                   - waitFor(idOrName): Promise<Agent>
                   - waitForGroup(name): Promise<Agent[]>
                   - createGroup(name, mission, agentIds)
                   - cancel / cancelAll / reset
                   - onEvent(cb): subscribe to PoolEvent stream
                   - getStatus(): PoolStatus for TUI
                   - snapshot()/loadSnapshot(): ~/.kcode/agents/active.json
                 Enforces maxConcurrent (default 10). Overflow queues
                 automatically drain as agents retire.

                 getAgentPool() returns a process-wide singleton so
                 the TUI and the conversation loop share state.

  factory.ts     AgentFactory — turns intent into specs:
                   - detectStack(cwd): StackInfo (lang, frameworks,
                     hasTests, hasLinter, source dirs, file count)
                   - dispatch(opts): pick roles from task + stack
                   - dispatchFromInstruction("3 agentes para X"):
                     parse natural-language "N agentes para Y"
                     and "grupo X" syntax, spawn through the pool
                 Heuristics per role family: auditor tasks spawn
                 auditor + fixer + tester; generic tasks split by
                 source directory; etc.

  narrative.ts   Pure formatting helpers:
                   - formatAgentStatus(agent): one-line string
                   - formatPoolStatus(status): multi-line TUI text
                   - formatGroupStatus(group, status)
                   - buildAgentSystemPromptFragment(status):
                     injects active agent list into the system
                     prompt so the model can say things like
                     "waiting for Atlas to finish the audit"
                   - formatWaitingMessage(agent)

  agents.test.ts 24 tests covering:
                   - NameGenerator unique/release/overflow
                   - Pool spawn/waitFor/cancel/reset
                   - Pool maxConcurrent enforcement + queue drain
                   - Error executor propagates status="error"
                   - Groups track members and transition to complete
                   - Factory roleFromTask keyword mapping
                   - Factory detectStack for package.json + empty dir
                   - dispatch caps at maxAgents
                   - dispatchFromInstruction parses "N agentes para Y"
                   - Narrative fragment includes agent names

All tests pass. Phase 2 and 3 come in follow-up commits:
  Phase 2: AgentPanel TUI component showing live pool state
  Phase 3: Trigger integration in conversation.ts + /agents slash cmd

Bump to v2.10.33. 34 audit-engine + 24 agent tests still pass.

Wires the Phase 1 backend into the interactive TUI so users can
actually spawn and track agents from the kcode prompt.

New module: src/core/agents/executor.ts

  llmExecutor(agent, emit)
    Lightweight executor that makes a single non-streaming request
    to the active model using the role's system-prompt seed. Good
    for read-only roles (auditor, reviewer, explorer, docs, scribe).
    Tracks tokens + cost via the existing pricing table.

  createSubprocessExecutor(cwd)
    Heavy executor that spawns a fresh `kcode --print` subprocess
    with the role seed injected via --append-system-prompt. The
    subprocess has full tool access (Bash, Edit, Write), so this
    is the right choice for roles that need to modify files or run
    commands (fixer, tester, linter, migration, worker, optimizer).

  executorForRole(role, cwd)
    Convenience picker: returns the subprocess executor for tool-
    heavy roles, the LLM executor for read-only roles.

New slash commands in src/ui/hooks/useMessageProcessor.ts:

  /agents            Shows live pool status via formatPoolStatus().
                     Aliases: /agent-pool, /pool
                     Empty state message tells the user how to
                     spawn agents.

  /agent <role> <task>
                     Spawns a single agent manually. Validates the
                     role against the ROLES registry, picks the
                     right executor, and echoes the assigned
                     codename back ("🚀 Spawned Atlas (Auditor): ...").
                     Unknown role prints the valid list.

Together these three commands give users interactive access to the
pool without needing Phase 2's full TUI panel. They can:
  - Spawn: /agent auditor audit the backend for SQL injection
  - Monitor: /agents
  - Repeat: spawn up to 10 concurrent

Phase 3b (next commit): natural-language dispatch ("liberemos 3
agentes para X"), pool system prompt injection, and auto-trigger.
Phase 2 (TUI panel): live-updating grid rendered via React/Ink.

Bump to v2.10.34. 24 agent tests + 34 audit tests still passing.

…jection

Wires the agent pool into the main conversation loop so users can
spawn agents by just describing what they want, and the LLM sees
live pool status in its system prompt on every turn.

Three integration points:

1. src/core/agents/intent.ts (new)
   detectAgentIntent(message, cwd) parses user messages for
   dispatch intent:
     - Spanish: "liberemos/larguemos/soltemos/desplegemos N agentes"
     - English: "spawn/unleash/deploy/launch N agents"
     - "N agentes para X", "let's have N agents to X"
     - "formemos grupo Alfa", "create team Beta"
   When detected, extracts count + group name + task from the
   message, calls dispatchFromInstruction() on the pool singleton,
   and attaches role-appropriate executors via executorForRole().
   Returns a human-readable dispatch summary to show inline.

   Fast-path: messages without the word "agent/agente/worker/bot/
   team/grupo/swarm/parallel" short-circuit without running any
   regexes — zero overhead for normal turns.

2. src/core/conversation.ts
   Before Level 1 handling, the sendMessage loop now calls
   detectAgentIntent(). If it fires, the dispatch summary is
   emitted inline ("🚀 Dispatched 3 agents (Atlas, Orion, Vega)...")
   and the turn CONTINUES to the LLM — which will see the new
   agents in its system prompt and can weave them into the
   response ("while Atlas is auditing, let me check the tests").

3. src/core/request-builder.ts
   buildRequestForModel() now appends the agent pool fragment to
   the systemPrompt argument on every call. When the pool is
   empty, buildAgentSystemPromptFragment() returns an empty
   string and the fragment is a no-op.

   When the pool has active agents, the fragment looks like:

     ## Active Agent Pool

     You have 3 agents working in parallel:
       - **Atlas** (Auditor) is scanning backend/auth
       - **Orion** (Fixer) is applying patches to lib/crypto.ts
       - **Vega** (Tester) is running npm test

     You can reference agents by name: "waiting for Atlas to
     finish", "Group Alfa is handling the backend". Use the Agent
     tool to spawn more (up to 10 concurrent).

User-facing flow after this commit:

  User:  "liberemos 3 agentes para auditar el backend"
  KCode: 🚀 Dispatched 3 agents (3× Auditor): Atlas, Orion, Vega
         → Task: auditar el backend
         Track with /agents.

         Atlas is scanning the entry points now. While they work,
         let me check the test suite for coverage gaps...

Phase 2 (TUI panel) still pending — this commit gives the full
backend + natural-language trigger + LLM awareness. Phase 2 will
add the live-updating React/Ink agent grid above the input.

Bump to v2.10.35. 24 agent tests still passing; audit engine 34/34.

Adds the visual layer for the agent pool: a React/Ink panel that
appears above Kodi whenever agents are active and updates live as
they progress through their work.

New component: src/ui/components/AgentPanel.tsx

  - Subscribes to pool.onEvent() and re-renders on every spawn,
    tool_start, tool_end, progress, done, error, and cancelled event.
  - Also ticks every 1s so elapsed times update even during idle
    stretches without pool events.
  - Auto-hides entirely when the pool is empty (no active, no done,
    no queued) — zero screen cost during normal coding.
  - Header summarizes state: "2/10 active, 1 queued, 3 done" with a
    total-cost badge in the top-right when non-zero.
  - Per-agent row: role icon (🔍 🔧 🧪 …), color-coded status badge
    (● running / ✓ done / ✗ error / ⊘ cancelled / ⏸ waiting),
    codename, role display name, target path (truncated), current
    tool bracket, and elapsed time.
  - Groups section at the bottom lists each group with member
    codenames and mission summary.
  - Truncates after maxVisible=10 with a "+N more" footer to cap
    panel height on busy sessions.

Integration:

  src/ui/App.tsx
    Imports and renders <AgentPanel /> above <KodiCompanion />.
    Position: just below the message list, just above the input
    prompt — same visual zone as the plan panel, so users see all
    their live state (plan, agents, Kodi) in one band.

Tests: src/ui/components/AgentPanel.render.test.tsx (7 cases)

  - Renders nothing when pool is empty
  - Shows header with active count when agents are running
  - Shows codename assigned by the name generator
  - Shows group name when agents belong to a group
  - Shows target path when set on the spec
  - Shows "done" count after an agent completes
  - Shows queue indicator when pool hits maxConcurrent

Uses ink-testing-library for headless frame capture. All 7 pass.

This completes the three-phase agent system:
  Phase 1 (v2.10.33): backend — types, names, roles, pool, factory, narrative
  Phase 3 (v2.10.34/35): executor + slash commands + natural-language dispatch
  Phase 2 (v2.10.36): live TUI panel

End-to-end flow that now works:

  User: "liberemos 3 agentes para auditar el backend"

  KCode panel:
    ╭─ Agents (3/10 active) ──────────────────╮
    │ 🔍 ● Atlas   Auditor  backend/  [Read] 5s │
    │ 🔍 ● Orion   Auditor  backend/  [Grep] 4s │
    │ 🔧 ● Vega    Fixer             [Edit] 2s │
    ╰──────────────────────────────────────────╯

  Model: "Dispatched 3 agents for the backend audit. While Atlas
          and Orion scan the entry points, Vega is preparing the
          fix pipeline. I'll track progress via /agents..."

Bump to v2.10.36. 24 agent-backend + 7 panel-render + 34 audit tests.

Self-review of the 30-commit branch surfaced real bugs. This fixes
the highest-severity ones identified in the audit:

H1 — detectAgentIntent bypassed the pool's runAgent lifecycle
  intent.ts spawned agents via dispatch() with executor=undefined,
  then re-invoked executors in a detached `void async` outside the
  pool. Result: retire() never fired, events never emitted, groups
  never transitioned to complete, and the queue never drained.
  Agents appeared stuck "running" in the AgentPanel forever.

  Fix: factory.dispatch() now calls executorForRole(spec.role, cwd)
  per spec by default, so pool.spawn(spec, exec) gets the right
  executor automatically and runAgent handles lifecycle normally.
  intent.ts now just calls dispatch — no more manual executor
  invocation, no more (pool as any).emit?.() type escape.

  Regression test: dispatch via intent, wait for all agents,
  assert active === 0 and every agent is done/error/cancelled.

H2 — llmExecutor used wrong API key resolution
  Old code: `process.env.XAI_API_KEY ?? OPENAI ?? KCODE ?? ""`.
  This ignored ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY, DEEPSEEK_API_KEY,
  TOGETHER_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY entirely. For claude models it
  would send an Authorization bearer header with an xAI token,
  producing a 401. It also didn't know about Anthropic's /v1/messages
  endpoint or the x-api-key / anthropic-version header shape.

  Fix: new resolveAgentAuth(modelName, baseUrl) function that:
    - Detects Anthropic by model name prefix or baseUrl
    - Returns the right auth headers (x-api-key vs Authorization)
    - Returns the right URL path (/v1/messages vs /v1/chat/completions)
    - Returns the right body shape (top-level `system` vs system message)
  llmExecutor now branches on bodyShape when building the request
  and when parsing the response (Anthropic's usage.input_tokens
  vs OpenAI's usage.prompt_tokens).

H3 — findFreePort spawned ss -tln 1000 times
  The old loop ran `execSync("ss -tln ...")` for every candidate
  port in [11000, 11999]. Worst case: 1000 subprocess spawns with
  a 2s timeout each. In practice ss runs fast but it was still
  ~1000× the work it needed to be.

  Fix: snapshot listening ports once via a single ss call, build
  a Set<number>, iterate in memory. O(subprocess) not O(subprocess
  × range).

H4 — uni-004-missing-auth Flask branch matched every route
  Old regex: `@app\.(?:route|get|post|...)` with no path filter on
  the Flask branch. Matched every single @app.route() in a Flask
  project, generating dozens of candidates that the verifier had
  to reject. The Express and Spring branches already required a
  sensitive path (/admin, /api, /internal, etc).

  Fix: the Flask branch now also requires `/(admin|api|internal|
  dashboard|manage|settings|users|config|root|sudo|super)`.

M2 — subprocess executor had no timeout
  createSubprocessExecutor spawned kcode via node:child_process
  without a timeout. A hung subprocess would keep the agent in
  "running" state forever.

  Fix: 10-minute hard timeout. When exceeded, SIGTERM with a 5s
  grace period, then SIGKILL, then reject the promise so the
  pool's runAgent retires the agent with error status.

M3 — intent regex over-triggered on past-tense mentions
  Old patterns: `\b(?:liberemos|liberar|...)\s+N\s+agentes`. The
  unanchored `\b` matched "we deployed 3 agents yesterday" and
  dispatched 3 agents for an incidental past-tense reference.

  Fix: patterns now require an IMPERATIVE or EXHORTATIVE opener
  — the verb must be at start of phrase or preceded by "vamos a",
  "let's", "I want/need", "necesitamos", "quiero". Past-tense
  ("deployed", "desplegamos") and existential mentions ("the 3
  agents in the config") no longer match.

  Regression test: detectAgentIntent returns null for 4 past-tense
  / incidental phrases in Spanish and English.

All six issues resolved. Audit-engine suite: 34 passing.
Agent suite: 26 passing (was 24, +2 regression tests).
AgentPanel render suite: 7 passing. Kodi render suite: 12 passing.

Bump to v2.10.37. No behavior changes for users who were already
using the working paths; the broken paths (Anthropic agents,
past-tense intent matches, stuck lifecycle) are now fixed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Wraps up the branch self-audit by closing the 2 MEDIUM and 4 LOW
issues left after v2.10.37's HIGH pass. All 30 commits in the
branch are now audit-clean.

M1 — system prompt fragment invalidates prompt caching
  request-builder.ts was appending the agent pool fragment to
  systemPrompt on every call whenever any agents were active. That
  broke Anthropic's prompt caching (keyed on system prompt prefix),
  forcing a cache miss and re-priming the entire system prompt
  every turn. Cost and latency spiked while agents were running.

  Fix: inject the fragment ONLY when at least one of these is true:
    1. The user's last message mentions agents/workers/groups —
       i.e. they're actively coordinating the pool right now
    2. An agent was spawned within the last 2 minutes (recent
       activity window)
  Otherwise the fragment is skipped and the system prompt stays
  byte-identical to a no-agent turn, so the cache hits. 99% of
  turns in a mixed session preserve caching; only the narrow
  window where the user is actively working with agents takes
  the cache hit.

M5 — uni-005-weak-auth-compare fired on existence checks
  The regex matched `password !== null`, `token === undefined`,
  `api_key != None`, and other common existence probes because
  the RHS alternative `(?:["']|[a-z_])` also matched the first
  character of "null" / "undefined" / "None".

  Fix: added a negative lookahead before the RHS that rules out
  null/undefined/None/empty-string literals. A legitimate
  `password == "hardcoded"` still matches; an innocuous
  `password !== null` is now correctly filtered at regex level
  (no LLM call needed).

L1 — reset() didn't clear event subscribers
  Audit finding was incorrect on review: subscribers should
  persist through reset() because the AgentPanel React component
  is bound to the pool singleton lifetime. Clearing subscribers
  would orphan the panel until it re-mounts. The test helper
  (`_resetAgentPoolForTests`) nulls the singleton entirely, so
  tests get a fresh pool with no subscribers anyway. Added a
  doc comment explaining the intentional asymmetry.

L2 — require() vs await import() inconsistency
  level1-handlers.ts had three inline `require("child_process")`
  calls in `tryWhich` and `startDevServer`. Replaced with the
  top-level `execSync, spawn` import from node:child_process —
  no behavior change, just stylistic consistency with the rest
  of the file.

L3 — AgentPanel timer ran even when idle
  The 1-second tick interval was always on, re-rendering the
  component every second even when all agents were done. For
  long-running sessions with an idle pool this was wasted work.

  Fix: ensureTimer() evaluates pool state on every pool event
  and starts/stops the interval accordingly. When the pool has
  no running/spawning/waiting agents, the interval is cleared.
  When a new agent spawns, the next onEvent fire re-creates it.
  Zero re-renders when pool is idle.

L4 — snapshot serialized agent.task/result in plaintext
  ~/.kcode/agents/active.json can contain secrets if a user
  pastes credentials into an agent task. Can't fully prevent
  that without PII detection, but we can at least tighten
  filesystem permissions.

  Fix: writeFileSync(path, data, { mode: 0o600 }) — owner-only.
  Added a warning in the snapshot() jsdoc explaining that agent
  tasks should never contain credentials.

Test count unchanged from v2.10.37 (67 passing across agents,
audit-engine, AgentPanel render). All findings from the self-audit
are now closed. Branch is ready for master merge.

Bump to v2.10.38.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Self-audit of the audit-cleanup commits themselves surfaced 4 more
issues. Meta-level QA — the patches had their own bugs. Closed:

M5-bis — uni-005 Yoda-style lookahead was misplaced
  The previous v2.10.38 fix added a negative lookahead to the
  first regex alternative (`password === "foo"`) but put the
  lookahead at the wrong place in the second alternative
  (`"foo" === password`). It was checking what came AFTER the
  credential, which was always empty at that position — so
  `null === password` still matched.

  Fix: moved the negative lookahead to the START of the second
  alternative (checking LHS), symmetric with the first branch.
  Both `password !== null` and `null !== password` are now filtered.

L1-bis — AgentPanel subscribed to onEvent twice
  The L3 fix in v2.10.38 added a timer-management callback via
  `pool.onEvent(ensureTimer)`, but the existing `pool.onEvent(setTick)`
  subscription was still in place. Two listeners ran per event —
  correct behavior but wasteful.

  Fix: merged into a single subscription that calls both setTick
  and ensureTimer in one callback. Half the event handler work.

L2-bis — [...messages].reverse().find() is O(n) with a clone
  request-builder.ts clones the full messages array to reverse it
  just to find the last user message. For 100+ message conversations
  this was measurable overhead for a field used only to detect
  agent mentions.

  Fix: replaced with a plain backwards for-loop. Same semantics,
  zero allocation.

L3-bis — H1 regression test didn't cover the executorForRole path
  The v2.10.37 regression test for the H1 lifecycle fix passed
  `executor: instantExecutor` in opts, which short-circuited the
  new `executorForRole(spec.role, cwd)` picker inside
  factory.dispatch(). So the test validated that the pool's
  runAgent lifecycle works, but NOT that dispatch is actually
  supplying per-spec executors.

  Fix: new test "factory.dispatch picks per-role executors via
  executorForRole when no override" — spawns a dispatch without
  an explicit executor, asserts the agent is actually live in
  the pool (cancel() returns true, status transitions), which
  proves dispatch provided a real executor via the role picker.

Test count: 68 passing (was 67). Agent suite now 28 (was 27).
Audit engine 34. AgentPanel render 7.

Bump to v2.10.39.

3. 🔴 Command built from string concatenation with variable — CWE-77

File: src/cli/commands/web.ts:56
Severity: CRITICAL
Pattern: uni-007-command-injection-concat

Why this matters:
Building shell commands via string concatenation or interpolation with user-controlled variables allows command injection. The attacker can break out of the intended command and execute arbitrary commands.

Code:

54:                   ? "start"
55:                   : "xdg-open";
56:             exec(`${cmd} "${fullUrl}"`);

7. 🔴 Dynamic code generation/compilation from external input — CWE-94

File: src/core/audit-engine/patterns.ts:3818
Severity: CRITICAL
Pattern: uni-009-code-injection

Why this matters:
Dynamically generating and executing code from external input enables arbitrary code injection. Unlike eval() which executes existing strings, code injection patterns involve building new code constructs (Function objects, compiled assemblies, template engines) from attacker-controlled input.

Code:

Fix template: Never compile user input into executable code. Use a sandboxed interpreter or a safe template engine.


8. 🔴 Shell command with template literal (injection) — CWE-78

File: src/core/audit-engine/pr-generator.ts:37
Severity: CRITICAL
Pattern: js-007-command-injection

Why this matters:
Running shell commands with template literals allows injection if any interpolated value is user-controlled.

Code:

36: function git(cwd: string, args: string): string {
37:   return execSync(`git ${args}`, { cwd, encoding: "utf-8", timeout: 30_000, stdio: ["pipe", "pipe", "pipe"] }).trim();
38: }
39: 
40: function gh(cwd: string, args: string): string {

Verification: Verification skipped — static-only mode (+1 more matches of this pattern in the same file)

Fix template: Use spawn/execFile with array args instead of shell string.


9. 🔴 Shell command with template literal (injection) — CWE-78

File: src/core/audit-logger.ts:52
Severity: CRITICAL
Pattern: js-007-command-injection

Why this matters:
Running shell commands with template literals allows injection if any interpolated value is user-controlled.

113. 🟡 Session cookie/token without expiration or with excessive lifetime — CWE-613

File: src/core/audit-engine/patterns.ts:3894
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: uni-014-no-session-timeout

Why this matters:
Sessions without expiration (or with >30 day lifetimes) increase the blast radius of a leaked token. Stolen session IDs remain valid indefinitely.

Code:

114. 🟡 Promise chain without .catch() (unhandled rejection) — CWE-755

File: src/core/config.ts:773
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: js-015-promise-no-catch

Why this matters:
A Promise .then() chain without .catch() leads to unhandled promise rejections. In Node.js, unhandled rejections crash the process by default.

Code:

771:     }
772:   };

Methodology

This audit was produced by the KCode audit engine: a deterministic pattern library scanned the project for known-dangerous code patterns, then every candidate was verified against the actual execution path. Findings listed here are only those where the execution path was confirmed.

Pattern library version: 1.0 — patterns derived from real bugs found in production C/C++ codebases (network I/O, USB/HID decoders, resource lifecycle, integer arithmetic).

Self-review of the previous /fix overhaul surfaced six issues. Three
were high-severity correctness bugs that could silently corrupt user
code; three were medium-severity correctness/robustness bugs. All
six are closed here with targeted tests.

HIGH #1 — fixDartJsonNullCheck over-matched

The regex `/\\bas\\s+(int|double|num|bool|String)\\b(?!\\?)/g` had no
context requirement, so it rewrote any primitive cast on any line:

    final count = users.length as int;     // ← was getting rewritten
    final x = someCall() as String;         // ← was getting rewritten

Business-logic casts that had nothing to do with JSON were silently
turned into `as int? ?? 0` / `as String? ?? ''`, changing runtime
behavior (exception → default value). The fix tightens the regex to
require a `json['key']` subscript immediately preceding the `as`:

    /(\\bjson\\s*\\[\\s*['"][^'"]+['"]\\s*\\]\\s*as\\s+(int|...))\\b(?!\\?)/g

Only casts that live inside the exact `json[...] as T` shape are
rewritten now. A regression test (mixed.dart) exercises a file with
both kinds of casts and asserts the non-json ones are untouched.

HIGH #2 — whole-file sweep amplified false positives

The dart-007 fixer sweeps the entire file (needed because the audit
engine dedupes repeated matches of the same pattern+file into a
single Finding, so only the first line is reported). Combined with
HIGH #1, a single false-positive finding could rewrite every cast in
the file. Narrowing the regex in #1 largely addresses this — the
sweep now only touches lines that contain the literal `json['...']`
subscript, so the blast radius is bounded to fromJson factories.

HIGH #3 — writeFileSync was not atomic

    if (modified) {
      writeFileSync(file, lines.join("\\n"));
    }

A crash mid-write (Ctrl-C, OOM, disk full, process kill) left the
user's source file half-corrupted with no recovery. Introduced
`atomicWriteFileSync()`: write to `<target>.kcode-fix-<rand>.tmp`
then `renameSync` over the target. The rename is atomic on POSIX
since the temp file is in the same directory. On rename failure the
temp file is cleaned up and the error propagates.

MEDIUM #4 — setState guard detection short-window

fixDartSetStateAfterDispose only looked at the 3 non-blank lines
immediately before `setState(` for a mounted/disposed guard. A valid
guard placed just after the `await` but separated from the setState
by comments or blank lines was missed, causing a duplicate guard to
be inserted. Replaced the short lookback with a full-span walk from
the await line (finding.line) to the setState call. Regression test
state.dart exercises a 6-line gap and asserts exactly one guard.

MEDIUM #5 — dart-005 assumed `mounted` always exists

The fixer inserted `if (!mounted) return;` without verifying the
enclosing class is a State<T> subclass. In rare cases (helper
classes, mixins, non-Flutter Dart with a local `setState` method)
`mounted` is undefined and the inserted guard fails to compile.
Added `isInsideFlutterState()` which walks backward looking for a
`class X extends ... State<...>` declaration; if not found within
400 lines, the fix is skipped with an explanatory message.
Regression test helper.dart has a non-State class named `NotAState`
and asserts no guard is inserted.

MEDIUM #6 — scanner could escape the project root and loop on
cyclic symlinks

findSourceFiles used readdirSync + statSync, which follows symlinks
silently. A link pointing outside the audited project leaked files
from unrelated directories into the scan; a cyclic link (a→b→a or
link→.) would walk forever until file-descriptor exhaustion.

Scanner now:
  - Resolves the project root to a realpath once at start.
  - Resolves every directory AND file via realpath before visiting.
  - Rejects resolved paths that don't equal or start with
    `<projectRealpath>/` — closes the root-escape hole.
  - Tracks visited directories and files in two Sets keyed by real
    path — closes the cycle-loop hole.

Two regression tests in audit-engine.test.ts create sibling
directories with escaping and cyclic symlinks and assert the scanner
neither leaks outside files nor loops. Both tests degrade
gracefully on platforms where symlink creation requires privileges.

Bump to v2.10.11. Audit-engine suite now has 33 passing tests
(was 28) covering all six holes.

Extend sanitizer warning to include which messages were stripped:
"Stripped 2 empty messages: #3:assistant(array(0)) #5:user(string)"

Helps trace the systematic source of empty messages we're seeing on every
turn. The filter is working (400s gone) but the underlying bug that
produces empty messages per-turn is still unknown.

…laims

Addresses #101 (scaffold misrouted to analysis, unsafe Bash plans,
ungrounded auth assertions after tool denial).

## Fix 1: scaffold routing short-circuit (P0)

classifyBenchmarkTask now checks isMonolithicCreation BEFORE the
analysis-pattern check. A prompt like

  "Necesito crear un proyecto nuevo … analizar la blockchain"

has two competing signals — scaffold verb + the word "analizar" —
and prior ordering let the keyword win, routing to an analysis-
tuned model that produces inspection-style output instead of
implementable scaffolding. Creation intent now wins and the task
routes to complex-edit (coding-first model preference).

Multi-step structural patterns still preempt scaffold (a numbered
list of tasks that includes a "creá" step is still multi-step).

Regression coverage: the exact 2026-04-23 Bitcoin TUI prompt now
classifies as complex-edit, not analysis.

## Fix 2: ungrounded auth claim detector (P1)

New detectAuthClaim() in grounding-gate flags the response when it
asserts specific authentication or network properties that can't
be established from a passive session:

  - "(sin auth, como funciona)"     ← the 2026-04-23 exact phrase
  - "sin autenticación", "sin credenciales", "sin password"
  - "RPC abierto", "RPC público"
  - "no auth required", "without authentication"
  - "does not require auth", "RPC is open"

Unlike the creation-claim check, this one fires regardless of
evidence count — verifying "no auth needed" requires actively
comparing authenticated vs unauthenticated access, which virtually
no session does. Defensive: always warn, let the user confirm
against their own environment.

Wired as Check #3 alongside the stub-scan and creation-claim gates.
Emits a banner event with title "Unverified auth/network
assumption" and a specific explanation of why successful local
access doesn't prove "no auth required".

## Deferred (tracked in #101)

P0-2 Safe scaffold Bash decomposition (the && + rm -rf planning
issue) — model-instruction / prompt-engineering work, not a pure
code fix. Left for a follow-up.

P1 Denial-aware fallback + context-pressure guard + pre-action
existence planning — same reasoning, model-side levers rather than
deterministic code.

External audit surfaced four real issues across the codebase.
All four confirmed, all four fixed.

## HIGH #1: /web can rm -rf src/ of an existing user repo

src/core/web-engine/web-engine.ts:91-98 detected package.json /
go.mod / Cargo.toml in cwd and then set projectPath=cwd
followed by rmSync(srcPath, { recursive: true, force: true }).
If the user ran /web from inside their own repo, their src/
was silently deleted. Real data-loss vector.

Fix: introduce a .kcode-generated marker file. The rm path now
runs ONLY when the target is KCode-owned:

  cwdIsKcodeGenerated  → safe to re-scaffold in place
  cwdHasProject (user) → scaffold into cwd/intent.name instead;
                         if that exists and is NOT kcode-generated,
                         throw 'Refusing to scaffold into X' so the
                         user has to explicitly clear the path.
  empty cwd            → cwd/intent.name as before.

The rm is further gated by the same marker check — never wipes a
non-kcode src/.

## HIGH #2: /fix applies changes from unverified findings

src/ui/actions/file-actions-audit.ts:251 re-ran the scan with
skipVerification:true and a hardcoded llmCallback that returned
'CONFIRMED' for every candidate when AUDIT_REPORT.json was
missing, then handed those to applyFixes(). applyFixes() is
contractually for 'confirmed findings only' (see fixer.ts:64).
Net effect: regex false positives got patched into user code.

Fix: /fix now refuses to run without a real verified
AUDIT_REPORT.json. Also added a pre-filter that inspects each
finding's verification.verdict and passes only 'confirmed' to
applyFixes() — mixed reports can't leak unverified findings.

Workflow chain (stepFix) had the same bug: it wrote a skip-
verified report and then called applyFixes() on the whole
thing. Now stepFix filters to findings where verdict ===
'confirmed' AND reasoning !== 'static-only'. If the set is
empty, the step reports 'skipped — no model-verified findings'
instead of applying.

## MEDIUM #3: Daemon zombie state on bind failure

src/bridge/daemon.ts wrote PID/PORT/TOKEN files BEFORE starting
the WebSocket server. If wsServer.start(port) threw
(EADDRINUSE, race, etc.), those files persisted pointing at our
live process — isDaemonRunning() returned true forever until
the user cleaned up manually.

Fix: reordered. Initialize components, call wsServer.start()
inside a try/catch, and only write state files after the bind
succeeds. If bind fails, throw with a clear message and leave
no state behind.

## MEDIUM #4: Web UI auth token leaked via URL + logs

src/web/server.ts:167 embedded the token in the URL query
string, passed it to openBrowser() (xdg-open/open process
args), and log.info()'d the full token to the log file.
Leaked surfaces:
  - browser history / bookmark sync
  - process table (xdg-open receives full URL)
  - ~/.kcode/logs/*.log on disk
  - terminal scrollback + any screenshot

Fix: switch URL format from ?token=... to #auth=... (fragment).
Fragments are never sent to servers, never logged by access
logs, and modern browsers don't sync them. The client-side
bootstrap already supports the #auth= handoff (strips it
into localStorage on first load).

Log line now redacts to first 4 + last 2 chars with a
placeholder:
  before: Auth token: BSA-abcd1234...xyz0
  after:  Auth token: BSA-…z0 (redacted)

Query-param acceptance on the API (/api/* ?token=) remains
as-is for backward compat with scripts that use it, but the
UI handoff path no longer generates those URLs.

## Tests

  bun test src/core/web-engine/ + fixer/ + task-orchestrator/ +
           bridge/ + web/server.test.ts
  → 165/165 pass on affected modules.

Note on the suite-wide 142 failures the auditor flagged: those
are pre-existing benchmarks/mock-server port collisions and
global-state tests unrelated to this change. Scoping the test
run to the files I touched keeps feedback tight; a separate
pass is needed to stabilize those other suites.

Aligns package.json with the version that publishes the
five-phase Java taint flow described in
src/core/audit-engine/taint/. Numbers now visible on
kulvex.ai/kcode/benchmarks: full OWASP F1 0.660 → 0.662 with no
recall regression; sqli subset F1 0.673 → 0.685.

Each finding now carries a six-signal confidence score [0..100]
plus a coarse band (high / medium / low). The signals — pattern
maturity, taint origin (Fix #3), sanitizer-seen, verifier verdict,
learning-loop demotions, fix support — are recorded on the finding
so the report can show "scored 50 because: pattern stable +30,
taint tainted +25, no sanitizer +5, verifier skipped +0, no
demotions +10, fix manual +0".

Adds `kcode audit . --confidence high|medium|all`. Default `all`
preserves prior behaviour (recall-as-baseline). `medium` keeps
high+medium-band findings only; `high` keeps verifier-confirmed
or strong-taint-flow findings only. The full unfiltered counts
still appear in the headline breakdown so the user sees what's
under the cut.

LookupPattern was extended to expose maturity / fix_support /
fixture_covered so the AST-pattern path can score too.

Empirical distribution observed during calibration:

  In-house corpus (140 files, 176 findings):
      0 high / 175 medium / 1 low — filter `medium` keeps the
      F1 0.905 baseline almost intact.

  OWASP Benchmark v1.2 sqli (504 cases, 628 findings):
      0 high / 81 medium / 547 low
      `--confidence medium`: TP 41 FP 19 FN 231  recall 15.1%  prec 68.3%
      `--confidence all`:    TP 237 FP 195 FN 35  recall 87.1% prec 54.9%

  OWASP Benchmark v1.2 full (2740 cases, 7739 findings):
      0 high / 3003 medium / 4736 low
      `--confidence medium`: TP 608 FP 516 FN 807  recall 43.0% prec 54.1%
      `--confidence all`:    TP 1292 FP 1199       recall 91.3% prec 51.9%

The `high` band is empty without a verifier run — that's the
intended semantic ("LLM-confirmed only"). `medium` requires at
least one positive signal beyond the regex match (mature pattern,
traced taint, or clean review history); broad sink-flagging
patterns with no taint analysis fall to `low`.

14 new unit tests for the scorer cover the full signal matrix and
the filter helpers. Existing 30 taint tests still pass.
