Adds self-learning and self-update capabilities to the RustFox agent, expands the setup wizard with an OAuth flow (Notion-focused) for HTTP MCP servers with long-lived token support via refresh tokens, and fixes Telegram streaming message splitting behavior.

Changes Made

Self-Learning & Self-Update

  • New learning module with skill extraction, skill patching, user model maintenance (USER.md), and git-based self-update
  • Skill extraction and user model update run as true background tokio::spawn tasks — no longer block the user response
  • USER.md wrapped in <user_model> delimiters to prevent prompt-injection escalation
  • YAML single-quoting applied to description and tags in generated SKILL.md frontmatter to handle special characters
  • Code-fence stripping added before parsing skill extraction response
  • self_patch_skill validates skill_name against path traversal attacks (canonicalises path, ensures it stays inside skills_dir)
  • USER.md validation requires valid YAML frontmatter (starts with ---, has matching closing ---)
  • Experiment directory cleaned up with fs::remove_dir_all after try_new_tech completes
  • Branch name validated in self_update_to_branch (allowlist check prevents - flags, .., control chars, etc.)
  • Hard-coded MIN_TOOL_CALLS_FOR_EXTRACTION=5 guard removed; the configurable skill_extraction_threshold is now the sole gate

OAuth Setup Wizard

  • New OAuth routes: GET /api/oauth/start (DCR + PKCE), GET /oauth/callback (token exchange), GET /api/oauth/token (polling)
  • AppState extended with oauth_sessions and http_client
  • Notion catalog entry updated with __NOTION_OAUTH_BUTTON__ and connectOAuth() JS function for popup + polling + auto-fill
  • PKCE unit tests added (verifier length, challenge base64url, random state hex)

OAuth Refresh Tokens (Long-Lived MCP Connections)

  • McpServerConfig now accepts refresh_token, token_expires_at, token_endpoint, oauth_client_id, and oauth_client_secret for OAuth-based HTTP MCP servers
  • oauth_callback stores refresh_token and expires_in from the token exchange response
  • oauth_token_poll returns all OAuth credentials (refresh_token, expires_in, token_endpoint, client_id, client_secret)
  • Setup wizard TOML generation includes all refresh token fields so the first connect writes a complete long-lived config
  • mcp.rs gains token_needs_refresh(), refresh_oauth_token(), update_config_tokens(), and refresh_expiring_tokens() helpers
  • Expired or expiring tokens are refreshed at startup before any MCP connection is attempted
  • Background 30-minute refresh task proactively renews tokens expiring within the next hour and writes the updated tokens back to config.toml
  • Noisy warn! on missing auth_token downgraded to debug
  • config.example.toml Notion example updated to document all OAuth token fields

Telegram Stream Split Fix

  • At the 3800-char boundary, the current message is now finalized (edited in place) and current_msg_id is reset to None so the next tokens open a fresh message — eliminates the "message shrinking" artifact

Testing

  • All tests pass, cargo clippy -- -D warnings clean, cargo fmt clean

@copilot use superpower debug the telegram update message issue, it is now can stream smoothly but once the content is long , it will separate another message which is normal behaviour for telegram, but once the response is complete, it seems like clean up the text show that I can really see the full message suddenly only part of the message, I am think if it is clean up thinking or tool use message logic? But I disabled the /vebose function. Please research and investigate the issue.

When the streaming buffer exceeded 3800 chars, the old code sent the
entire buffer as a NEW message then cleared the buffer.  Subsequent
edits replaced that message's content with only the small post-split
tokens, causing the message to visually shrink from ~3800 chars to a
few dozen.

Fix: at the split threshold, finalize (edit) the current message with
its accumulated content, then reset current_msg_id = None so the next
batch of tokens creates a fresh message.  This eliminates both the
content duplication across messages and the dramatic shrinking effect.

Found the root cause in src/platform/telegram.rs — the stream split logic at the 3800-char boundary.

Bug: When buffer exceeded 3800 chars, the code sent the entire buffer as a new message, then cleared the buffer. On the next 500ms edit, the new message was replaced with only the small post-split tokens (~60 chars), causing a dramatic visual shrink from ~3800 chars to almost nothing. This also duplicated content between the old and new messages.

Fix (0fddd4c): At the split threshold, the code now finalizes (edits) the current message with its accumulated content, then resets current_msg_id = None so subsequent tokens create a fresh new message. No duplication, no shrinking.

This is unrelated to thinking/tool-use cleanup — the /verbose OFF path correctly skips all tool status messages. The issue was purely in the message-split mechanism.

Previously, connect_http() called .auth_header(config.auth_token
.unwrap_or_default()), which turned None into "" and stored it as
Some(""). reqwest then sent "Authorization: Bearer " (empty token),
causing Notion's remote MCP to respond with 401 invalid_token.

Fix: only call .auth_header() when auth_token is Some and non-empty.
Also emit a tracing::warn when an HTTP server is configured without any
token, to make misconfiguration easier to spot in logs.

Code Review: PR #34 — feat: self-learning + self-update features + fix telegram stream split bug

  • Gather context and read changed files
  • Review src/learning.rs (new file, 669 lines)
  • Review src/bin/setup.rs (OAuth additions)
  • Review src/agent.rs (195 new lines)
  • Review src/platform/telegram.rs (stream split bug fix)
  • Review remaining changed files
  • Compile and summarize findings

Overview

This PR adds three significant features: self-learning (skill extraction + user model), self-update (git pull + rebuild via bot command), and OAuth 2.0 for MCP setup — plus a correctness fix for the Telegram streaming split bug. The code is well-structured and tested. Below are findings from most to least critical.


🔴 Critical Issues

1. Mutex held across async network I/O in oauth_callback (src/bin/setup.rs:438–499)

oauth_sessions lock is acquired and held for the entire duration of the token exchange HTTP request, which can take seconds:

let mut sessions = st.oauth_sessions.lock().await;    // lock acquired
let session = sessions.get_mut(&params.state)?;
// ... build token_params from session fields ...
let token_result = st.http_client.post(&session.token_endpoint)
    .form(&token_params)
    .send()                                            // 🔴 network I/O while locked
    .await;
// lock released only here

This blocks all concurrent oauth_start calls and /api/oauth/token polling for the duration of the exchange. Fix: clone the required fields before releasing the lock, then do the network call and re-acquire to write the result. Fix this →


🟡 Significant Issues

2. Skill extraction / user model update block the response (src/agent.rs:488–531)

The doc comment on post_task_skill_extractor says "Runs in the background (via tokio::spawn) so it never blocks the user", but in agent.rs it's awaited inline with a 60-second timeout — meaning the user's Telegram response is delayed up to 60 seconds while the extraction runs:

let _extraction_result = tokio::time::timeout(
    std::time::Duration::from_secs(60),
    crate::learning::post_task_skill_extractor(...)
)
.await;   // 🟡 blocks response delivery

Same issue for the user model update block. These should be wrapped in tokio::spawn(...) so they run truly in the background. Fix this →

3. try_new_tech experiment directories are never cleaned up (src/agent.rs:1692–1778)

Each call creates sandbox/experiments/<uuid>/ and writes files, but there's no cleanup — failed or successful experiments accumulate indefinitely. For a long-running bot this will fill the sandbox directory. Add a deferred tokio::fs::remove_dir_all regardless of outcome (or at least log the path so it can be manually cleaned). Fix this →

4. mcp.rs warning fires for all OAuth-provisioned HTTP servers

The None arm of the new auth_token match logs a warn! for servers with no static token (like Notion, which gets its token via OAuth). This will spam logs at every startup. Consider logging at debug! level, or only warning when the server type is expected to need a static token. Fix this →


🟠 Minor Issues

5. OAuth scope parameter missing in auth URL (src/bin/setup.rs:401–408)

The authorization URL is built without a scope parameter. Many OAuth providers (including Notion) require a scope value. Without it, the authorization server may reject the request or grant a minimal token. Consider either exposing scope in the server catalog or defaulting to a generic value.

6. User model content injected unsanitized into system prompt (src/agent.rs:110–113)

The USER.md file content is appended verbatim to the system prompt. Since this file is LLM-generated from conversation history, a crafted conversation could inject prompt-manipulation content (e.g., "Ignore all previous instructions..."). A simple mitigation: strip or escape any content that starts with known injection markers, or at minimum document the trust assumption.

7. User model validation is too permissive (src/learning.rs:368)

if !new_content.contains("---") || new_content.trim().is_empty() {

A response containing --- anywhere (e.g., in prose) passes validation. A more robust check would be new_content.starts_with("---") to ensure the YAML frontmatter is actually at the start.

8. self_update_to_branch: process doesn't restart after build (src/learning.rs:430)

The log ends with "Restart to activate the new version" but no restart mechanism is provided. The user must manually restart the bot. This is noted in docs but a std::process::exit(0) + systemd restart (or at least logging the built binary path) would make the workflow more complete. Not a bug, but a UX gap.

9. Stash on self_update is never popped (src/learning.rs:398–408)

If uncommitted changes exist, they're stashed before the update — but the stash is never popped on success or failure. The stash accumulates in git history on repeated updates. Add run_git_command(project_root, &["stash", "pop"]) after a successful build (with a note that this may cause conflicts).


✅ What's Working Well

  • Telegram stream split fix (src/platform/telegram.rs:314–328): The root-cause diagnosis and fix are correct. Finalizing the current message before resetting current_msg_id eliminates both the visual shrink and the content duplication. Clean and well-tested.
  • PKCE implementation (src/bin/setup.rs:262–280): Correct S256 challenge, proper base64url (no-pad), and sufficient verifier entropy (32 random bytes).
  • mcp.rs empty-token fix: The old unwrap_or_default() approach was sending "Authorization: Bearer " (empty token). The new conditional is correct.
  • self_patch_skill backup: Creating .bak before writing is a good safety net.
  • Test coverage: PKCE tests, learning module tests, telegram split tests are all meaningful.
  • Config defaults: All new LearningConfig fields have sensible defaults, so existing config.toml files work without changes.

Summary

The PR's core functionality is solid and the Telegram bug fix is correct. The most actionable issues before merge are: (1) the mutex-held-across-network-IO bug in oauth_callback, and (2) making skill extraction/user model updates truly background so they don't silently add latency to every response after a long tool-using conversation.

  • Compile and summarize findings

Summary

Good overall structure. The Telegram stream-split fix is correct, the OAuth wiring is solid, and learning.rs has useful tests. There are a few issues worth addressing before merge, roughly sorted by severity.


Issues

1. Skill extraction blocks the streaming finalizer (up to 120 s) — src/agent.rs

The comment in learning.rs:21 says post_task_skill_extractor "runs in the background (via tokio::spawn) so it never blocks the user" — but in agent.rs it is awaited inline before process_message returns:

// agent.rs ~line 484
let _extraction_result = tokio::time::timeout(
    std::time::Duration::from_secs(60),
    crate::learning::post_task_skill_extractor(...),
).await;   // ← blocks here, up to 60 s
// then another 60 s for user model update
return Ok(final_content);

stream_token_tx is still alive during this wait, so the stream channel is not closed, so stream_handle blocks at rx.recv() and cannot do the final markdown flush. The user sees a stale intermediate message for up to 120 s.

Fix: tokio::spawn both learning tasks before return Ok(final_content), or at minimum drop stream_token_tx (close the channel) before running them. Fix this →


2. try_new_tech has no timeout on execution — src/agent.rs

let output = tokio::process::Command::new(check_cmd)
    .args(&check_args)
    .current_dir(&exp_dir)
    .output()          // ← no timeout; node infinite loop or slow cargo build hangs forever
    .await

An infinite-loop JS script or a slow cargo check can hang the tool call indefinitely, blocking the whole agentic loop iteration. Fix this →


3. OAuth session Mutex held across network I/O — src/bin/setup.rs

In oauth_callback (line ~438), sessions.lock().await is held while making an outbound token-exchange HTTP request:

let mut sessions = st.oauth_sessions.lock().await;
let session = match sessions.get_mut(&params.state) { ... };
// ... token_params built from session fields ...
let token_result = st.http_client
    .post(&session.token_endpoint)
    .form(&token_params)
    .send()         // ← Mutex still held during this network call
    .await;

Every concurrent request that touches oauth_sessions (including the polling /api/oauth/token calls from the frontend) stalls for the duration of the token exchange. Extract the needed fields, drop the lock, make the HTTP call, then re-acquire to write the token back. Fix this →


4. OAuth sessions are never cleaned up — src/bin/setup.rs

Sessions inserted by /api/oauth/start are never removed, even after the token is successfully retrieved by the frontend. For a short-lived setup wizard this is harmless, but a completed session holding an access token stays in memory until the process exits.

Suggestion: Remove the session entry from the map inside oauth_token_poll once ready == true and the token has been returned. Fix this →


5. Missing scope in OAuth authorization URL — src/bin/setup.rs

The authorization URL (line ~395-408) includes all required PKCE parameters but no scope. Some providers (Notion in particular) may require specific scopes. At minimum, consider defaulting to scope=openid or documenting that the server's default scope is used. Fix this →


6. Experiment directories never cleaned up — src/agent.rs (try_new_tech)

let exp_dir = sandbox.join("experiments").join(&exp_id);
// ... write code, run check ...
// (no cleanup)

Every invocation creates a new UUID-named directory under sandbox/experiments/ that is never deleted. Long-term use will accumulate many directories. Consider removing the directory after returning the result, or at least after a successful check.


7. LLM-controlled skill body has no size limit — src/learning.rs

The skill name is validated (lines 125-133), but SKILL_BODY: content from the LLM is written to disk with no size cap. A hallucinating model could generate a very large file. A simple guard like bail! if body.len() > 32_768 would protect against this. Fix this →


Minor / Nits

  • src/learning.rs:148 — TOML tags are formatted as [tag1, tag2] (array without quotes), which is valid TOML if values are bare words but will fail for tags containing spaces or special chars. Single-quoting each tag (['tag1', 'tag2']) would be more robust.

  • src/agent.rsself_update_to_branch — Project root discovery walks up from the executable. If the binary is deployed outside the repo (e.g., /usr/local/bin/rustfox), it falls back to current_dir() which may not be the project root. Consider requiring an explicit project_root config option rather than auto-detecting.

  • src/learning.rs:218 — The guard !new_content.starts_with("---") after format!() is always true if existing content was valid (a harmless but redundant check). The useful guard is the one before calling format!, not after.

  • src/bin/setup.rsClientRegistrationRequest includes token_endpoint_auth_method: "none" which is correct for public PKCE clients. Consider also including scope in the registration request so the server knows the intended scope during DCR.


What's Good

  • Telegram stream-split fix (src/platform/telegram.rs) — the root cause was correctly identified and the fix is clean: finalize the current message in-place, then reset current_msg_id = None so the next batch starts fresh. No duplication, no shrink artifact.
  • src/mcp.rs auth_token fix — correctly avoids sending Authorization: Bearer with empty token.
  • src/learning.rs tests — good coverage of helpers; the self_patch_skill async test is especially useful.
  • PKCE implementation — correct S256 challenge method, proper URL_SAFE_NO_PAD encoding.
  • OAuth callback HTML — self-closing popup is a good UX touch.
  • Skill name validation in extract_skill_from_conversation is solid (length + charset check).
  • skill_extraction_enabled flag — good that it's opt-out-able via config.

This block is labeled “background” but it awaits the extractor via timeout(...). That means the user-facing response is delayed until the extractor finishes or 60s elapses. If the intent is non-blocking, spawn a detached task (and apply the timeout inside that task) so returning final_content isn’t held up.

The periodic user model update is also executed inline with an awaited timeout, so it can delay the final reply by up to 60s on every Nth user message. Consider running this update in a spawned background task (or queue it onto the scheduler) to avoid impacting request latency.

The doc comment says this “Runs in the background (via tokio::spawn)”, but the function itself doesn’t spawn and callers may await it directly (as in Agent::process_message). Either update the doc to describe the actual behavior, or make post_task_skill_extractor spawn internally if it must never block.

If the LLM outputs characters like :/#/] or commas inside a tag, the repo’s frontmatter parser (simple string-based parsing) can fail to load the generated skill. Consider sanitizing/quoting these fields (e.g., YAML-quoting description and emitting tags as quoted items) before writing the file.

let tags_yaml = if tags.is_empty() {
"[]".to_string()

self_patch_skill joins skills_dir.join(skill_name) without validating skill_name. A crafted name containing path separators (e.g. ../) could escape the skills directory and overwrite arbitrary files (the exists() check doesn’t prevent this). Validate skill_name as a safe directory name and/or canonicalize and ensure the resolved path is within skills_dir before reading/writing.

Warning on auth_token: None is likely noisy: auth_token is documented as optional (e.g. API keys can be embedded in the URL query), and the config tests include an HTTP server without auth_token. Consider removing this warn or downgrading it to debug, or only warning when an explicit "requires auth" flag is set for the server.

This Notion example says “integration token” and uses your-notion-integration-token, but the setup wizard + PR description describe an OAuth 2.0 access token flow for the official Notion MCP endpoint. Please align the wording/example value so users don’t paste the wrong credential type.

try_new_tech creates a unique experiment directory under allowed_directory/experiments but never removes it after execution. Over time this can accumulate many projects (and target/ dirs) and consume disk space. Consider cleaning up the directory after collecting output, or adding a retention policy/size limit.

branch is taken directly from tool arguments and passed into git checkout/git pull inside self_update. If branch starts with - it may be interpreted as a git flag, and unusual refnames can cause confusing failures. Consider validating branch against an allowlist pattern for git refnames (or prefixing args with --) before running git commands.

The Mutex guard was held across the async HTTP token-exchange
request in `oauth_callback`, blocking all other concurrent
lock acquisitions for the duration of the network call.

Fix: clone the five needed fields (server_name, code_verifier,
client_id, client_secret, token_endpoint) from the session inside
a short scoped block so the lock is dropped before `.send().await`,
then re-acquire the lock only to write `session.access_token` back.

Code Review: PR #34 — feat: self-learning + self-update features + fix telegram stream split bug

  • Gather context
  • Read src/learning.rs
  • Read src/agent.rs changes
  • Read src/bin/setup.rs changes
  • Read src/platform/telegram.rs changes
  • Read remaining changed files
  • Compile and post findings

Overview

Good structure overall — the Telegram stream-split fix is correct, the OAuth implementation is solid (and the Mutex-held-across-IO bug from prior review comments has already been fixed in this PR via field-cloning before lock release). The main issues below are centered on stream_status_tx blocking the stream finalizer, missing execution timeouts in try_new_tech, and two security gaps in path handling.


🔴 Critical Issues

1. stream_status_tx keeps the channel open through learning tasks, blocking the final Telegram edit (src/agent.rs:276, 487)

stream_status_tx is cloned from the stream sender at line 276 and used only during the tool-call loop. After LlmClient::stream_text consumes the original sender (tx), stream_status_tx is the only remaining sender keeping the channel alive. The Telegram stream handler (while let Some(token) = rx.recv().await) can't close and make its final markdown-formatted edit until all senders drop.

Since both learning tasks are awaited inline (up to 60s each), the user sees the unformatted "in-progress" Telegram message for up to 120 seconds after the LLM finishes — the response text is there but the final formatted edit hasn't happened yet.

// agent.rs ~line 276
let stream_status_tx = stream_token_tx.clone();  // clone keeps channel open

// ... agentic loop ...

// stream_token_tx consumed here — but stream_status_tx still alive:
let final_content = if let Some(tx) = stream_token_tx {
    LlmClient::stream_text(content.clone(), tx).await.ok();  // tx dropped here
    ...
};

// 🔴 stream_status_tx still alive → channel open → Telegram finalizer blocked
let _extraction_result = tokio::time::timeout(
    std::time::Duration::from_secs(60),
    crate::learning::post_task_skill_extractor(...),
).await;  // up to 60s

let _update_result = tokio::time::timeout(
    std::time::Duration::from_secs(60),
    crate::learning::update_user_model(...),
).await;  // another 60s

return Ok(final_content);
// stream_status_tx finally dropped here — Telegram makes its final edit

Fix: Add drop(stream_status_tx); right before the learning tasks (around line 486), OR wrap both learning tasks in tokio::spawn. Fix this →


🟡 Significant Issues

2. try_new_tech has no execution timeout (src/agent.rs:~1751)

let output = tokio::process::Command::new(check_cmd)
    .args(&check_args)
    .current_dir(&exp_dir)
    .output()
    .await   // 🟡 no timeout — infinite-loop JS or hanging cargo check blocks forever

An infinite-loop Node.js script or a slow cargo check on a large generated crate hangs the entire agentic loop iteration with no escape. Fix this →

3. self_patch_skill path traversal (src/learning.rs:192)

let skill_path = skills_dir.join(skill_name).join("SKILL.md");
if !skill_path.exists() {
    anyhow::bail!("Skill '{}' does not exist", skill_name);
}

skill_name comes from the LLM's tool call arguments and is never sanitized. A crafted name like ../../config.toml (after stripping SKILL.md the join resolves to) or ../../../etc/passwd could silently read/overwrite files outside skills_dir. The exists() check doesn't prevent traversal. Fix this →

4. Branch name passed unsanitized to git commands (src/agent.rs:~1812)

let branch = arguments["branch"].as_str().unwrap_or("main").to_string();
// branch is used directly in:
run_git_command(project_root, &["checkout", branch]).await
run_git_command(project_root, &["pull", "origin", branch]).await

A branch name starting with - (e.g., --upload-pack=malicious-cmd) is interpreted as a flag by git. Since the LLM generates this value, and the LLM could be manipulated by prompt injection from untrusted tool output, this should be guarded. Fix this →

5. stash pop missing after successful build (src/learning.rs:396-408)

let stash_result = run_git_command(project_root, &["stash", "push", "-m", "rustfox-auto-stash-before-update"]).await?;
// ... build succeeds ...
// 🟡 stash is never popped — accumulates in git reflog on repeated self-updates

After a successful build (or even a failed one), the stash is never restored. Repeated self-updates will pile up stash entries and lose track of what was stashed. Fix this →


🟠 Minor Issues

6. Experiment directories never cleaned up (src/agent.rs:~1697)

Each try_new_tech call creates sandbox/experiments/<uuid>/ (including a target/ subdirectory from cargo check) that is never deleted. A long-running bot accumulates disk usage indefinitely. Add tokio::fs::remove_dir_all(&exp_dir).await.ok() after collecting results.

7. User model validation too permissive (src/learning.rs:368)

if !new_content.contains("---") || new_content.trim().is_empty() {

Any response containing --- anywhere (prose, code blocks) passes. new_content.starts_with("---") would actually verify frontmatter is at the top.

8. warn! fires for every OAuth-provisioned HTTP server at startup (src/mcp.rs:72)

None => {
    tracing::warn!("HTTP MCP server '{}' has no auth_token configured; ...", config.name);
}

OAuth-provisioned servers (like Notion) intentionally have no static auth_token. This will spam the log at every startup. Change to tracing::debug!. Fix this →

9. OAuth scope parameter missing (src/bin/setup.rs:~401)

The authorization URL omits scope. Notion's OAuth requires scope in the request. Consider at minimum documenting this, or accepting an optional scope query param from the frontend.

10. LLM-generated skill body has no size cap (src/learning.rs:162)

skill_content is written to disk without any size check. A hallucinating model could generate a very large SKILL.md. Add a guard if skill_content.len() > 32_768 before writing.


✅ What's Working Well

  • OAuth Mutex fix already in place: oauth_callback correctly clones the needed fields before releasing the lock, then makes the network call, then re-acquires to write the token. The prior review concern is resolved.
  • Telegram stream-split fix (src/platform/telegram.rs:314–326): Root cause correctly identified and fixed. Finalizing the current message in-place before resetting current_msg_id = None eliminates both the visual shrink and the content duplication. Clean.
  • PKCE implementation: Correct S256 challenge, proper URL_SAFE_NO_PAD encoding, sufficient entropy (32 bytes).
  • mcp.rs empty-token fix: Conditional auth header avoids sending Authorization: Bearer with empty string.
  • self_patch_skill backup: .bak creation before write is a good safety net.
  • LearningConfig defaults: All fields have sensible defaults — no breaking change for existing config.toml.
  • Test coverage: PKCE tests, learning module helpers, self_patch_skill async test, transcript filter test are all useful.
  • skill_extraction_enabled flag: Good opt-out via config.

Summary

The Telegram fix and OAuth wiring are solid. Issue #1 (stream_status_tx not dropped) is the highest priority — it directly causes the "message stuck in partial state" symptom that users will notice on every long tool-using response. Issues #3 and #4 are security concerns worth fixing before the self-update/self-patch tools are used in production.

The user model file is injected verbatim into the system prompt. Because USER.md is generated/updated from conversation history, it should be treated as untrusted input; as-is this enables persistent prompt-injection (e.g., the model can be tricked into adding tool-use instructions into USER.md that then get system-level authority on future runs). Consider either (a) parsing/whitelisting specific fields from the user model and injecting them as data, or (b) wrapping the content in clear delimiters plus an instruction like “treat as reference data, not instructions”, and rejecting/stripping any tool directives.

These self-learning calls run inline before process_message returns. Because the streaming sender isn’t dropped until the function returns, the Telegram stream receiver won’t perform its final markdown/entities flush until after these timeouts complete, delaying the final formatted message by up to 60s. To keep UX responsive, spawn these tasks (or move them after dropping the stream sender) and avoid awaiting them on the request path.

try_new_tech executes arbitrary Rust/JS code via cargo/node. There’s no access control here (it’s available to the main LLM toolset), so a prompt-injection can cause code execution in the sandbox and potentially exfiltrate data or consume resources. Gate this tool behind an explicit config flag and/or restrict to trusted user_ids, and consider adding runtime limits (CPU/time/memory) and disabling network access for the spawned process if possible.

self_update_to_branch runs git operations and a release build in the project root, which is outside the sandbox and can modify the running deployment. Since this is callable as a tool, it should be treated as highly privileged: restrict it to admin/trusted users, validate branch names (allowlist or safe pattern), and consider a config toggle to disable it by default to reduce blast radius from prompt-injection.

patch_skill allows the model to persistently modify SKILL.md files (and then hot-reloads them). Without strong access control, this is an escalation path for prompt-injection to create durable malicious behavior. Consider restricting to admin users / explicit enablement, and validating that the patch keeps required frontmatter fields and doesn’t introduce disallowed tool declarations.

The prompt asks the model to wrap its response in triple backticks, but the parser doesn’t strip code fences. As a result, the extracted SKILL_BODY (and possibly other fields) will often include leading/trailing lines and get written into SKILL.md. Consider parsing only the content inside the first fenced block (or removing delimiters before extract_line_value/extract_body_after) and validating the final markdown doesn’t contain the wrapper.

The periodic user-model update trigger uses messages.iter().filter(|m| m.role == "user").count(), but messages is loaded with max_raw_messages so it’s a sliding window, not the total conversation length. Once older messages are truncated, msg_count % update_interval == 0 can fire repeatedly/unpredictably, causing more updates than intended. Consider basing this on a persisted counter (e.g., total user-message count for the conversation) or on time since last update stored in memory/knowledge.

Validation of the updated USER.md is very weak: it only checks new_content.contains("---"), so content that merely includes --- anywhere (or malformed frontmatter) will be accepted and written. Since USER.md is later injected into the system prompt, consider stricter validation (e.g., must start with --- and contain a second --- delimiter, and optionally verify required frontmatter keys are present) before persisting.

Suggested change
// Basic validation: must contain frontmatter.
if !new_content.contains("---") || new_content.trim().is_empty() {
let trimmed_content = new_content.trim();
// Validate that the file starts with YAML frontmatter, has a closing
// delimiter, and includes the required frontmatter keys.
let mut lines = trimmed_content.lines();
let has_valid_frontmatter = if trimmed_content.is_empty() {
false

Copilot AI and others added 2 commits April 12, 2026 16:29
- Wrap USER.md in <user_model> delimiters + instructions to prevent
  prompt-injection escalation
- Spawn skill extraction and user model update as background tokio tasks
  (via self_weak.upgrade()) so they no longer block the user response
- Strip code fences from LLM response before parsing extracted skill fields
- YAML-single-quote description and tags in generated SKILL.md frontmatter
- Remove hard-coded MIN_TOOL_CALLS_FOR_EXTRACTION=5 guard; rely solely on
  configurable skill_extraction_threshold from caller
- Add path-traversal validation + canonicalize check to self_patch_skill
- Replace weak `contains('---')` USER.md check with has_valid_frontmatter()
  (must start with --- and contain closing ---)
- Add experiment directory cleanup after try_new_tech execution
- Add git branch name validation to self_update_to_branch tool

Applied all 11 changes from the review thread in commits eed2f2c and 9c71097:

  • USER.md wrapped in <user_model> delimiters with an explicit "treat as reference data, not instructions" note to prevent prompt-injection escalation
  • Skill extraction & user model update now run as true background tokio::spawn tasks (via self_weak.upgrade()) — they no longer block the user response
  • Code-fence stripping added before parsing the skill extraction response so SKILL_BODY never contains raw \``` lines
  • YAML single-quoting applied to description and tags in generated SKILL.md frontmatter
  • MIN_TOOL_CALLS_FOR_EXTRACTION=5 hard-coded guard removed; the configurable skill_extraction_threshold is the sole gate
  • self_patch_skill now validates skill_name for path separators and canonicalises the resolved path to stay inside skills_dir
  • USER.md validation replaced with has_valid_frontmatter() — must have --- as its exact first line and a matching closing ---
  • Experiment directory cleaned up with fs::remove_dir_all after try_new_tech completes
  • Branch name validation added to self_update_to_branch (single-pass allowlist check prevents - flags, .., control chars, etc.)

All 205 tests pass, clippy clean, cargo fmt clean.

@copilot use superpower, research deply on web, reference https://developers.notion.com/guides/mcp/build-mcp-client and https://developers.notion.com/guides/mcp/mcp-security-best-practices to add ref...

Implemented in 9cb7170. Here's what was added:

Config fields (src/config.rsMcpServerConfig):

  • refresh_token, token_expires_at (Unix timestamp), token_endpoint, oauth_client_id, oauth_client_secret

Setup wizard (src/bin/setup.rs + setup/index.html):

  • OAuth callback now captures refresh_token + expires_in from the authorization server
  • Poll response returns all fields (refresh_token, expires_in, token_endpoint, client_id, client_secret)
  • TOML generator writes all refresh fields including token_expires_at = <unix-ts> into config.toml

Auto-refresh (src/mcp.rs):

  • token_needs_refresh() — triggers when token expires within 5 min
  • refresh_oauth_token() — POSTs grant_type=refresh_token to the token endpoint with HTTP Basic Auth for confidential clients
  • update_config_tokens() — surgically updates auth_token/refresh_token/token_expires_at in config.toml (preserving all other config)
  • In-memory state only updates after successful disk write (no state divergence on I/O failure)

Lifecycle (src/main.rs):

  • At startup: refreshes any tokens expiring within 5 min before connecting to MCP servers
  • Background task: runs every 30 min, keeps the same cfgs vector between ticks so rotated refresh tokens are retained and never reused

Docsconfig.example.toml Notion example now documents all six OAuth token fields with setup instructions.
