- Add m20260415_000013_add_builtin_to_agents migration (INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0) - Add built_in: i32 field to agent entity - Add built_in: bool field to Agent struct and AgentResponse - Update model_to_agent() and storage add() to persist/read the field - Add built_in?: boolean to TypeScript Agent interface - CreateAgentRequest intentionally omits built_in (system-only field)
…-agents endpoint - GET /agents now excludes built_in agents by default - ?include_builtin=true opts in to seeing all agents - Add GET /system-agents returning only built_in=true agents - list_paginated() gains built_in_filter: Option<bool> parameter - AgentStorage::list_system_agents() fetches only system agents - AgentManager::list_system_agents() delegates to storage - OrchestratorClient::list_system_agents() hits GET /system-agents - debug_agents endpoint unchanged (shows all agents)
- Add system_agents.rs with SYSTEM_AGENT_NAME constant and build_system_agent_config() - System agent uses sonnet model, AllowList tool policy (read-only), joins 'system' room - Includes inline system prompt covering agentd architecture and services - AgentManager::bootstrap_system_agents() spawns/restarts system agent after reconcile - spawn_agent() gains built_in: bool parameter; API always passes false - terminate_agent() guards against deleting built_in agents (returns error) - bootstrap_system_agents() called from main.rs after reconcile()
- system_agent_prompt covers: service inventory with ports, agent lifecycle, status/activity states, built-in agent concept, CLI operations, communicate rooms, memory service, diagnostics guide, metrics/observability, tool policy - version prepended dynamically via env!(CARGO_PKG_VERSION) at build time - tool policy documented with rationale for each allowed category - AllowList entries align with prompt documentation (update both in tandem) - prompt targets <6000 tokens
- Add 'agent system-agents list' — fetch from GET /system-agents - Add 'agent system-agents get <id|name>' — resolve by UUID or name - Add 'agent system-agents message <id> <text>' — send prompt to system agent - Add 'agent system-agents status' — compact table of name/status/model/activity - All subcommands support --json output mode - Add --include-builtin flag to 'agent list' (passes ?include_builtin=true) - OrchestratorClient::list_agents_filtered() added for include_builtin support - system_agents command registered in Commands enum and dispatched via orchestrator URL
- AgentsPage renders SystemAgentList above AgentList
- SystemAgentList fetches from GET /system-agents with 10s auto-refresh
- Shows name (with 'system' badge), status, model, rooms columns
- Collapsible panel with refresh button; distinguishes loading/error/empty states
- Clicking a row navigates to /agents/{id} detail page (same as user agents)
- No create/delete actions exposed (built-in agents are not user-managed)
- useSystemAgents hook follows same pattern as useAgents
- OrchestratorClient.listSystemAgents() added (GET /system-agents)
- AgentConfig TS interface gains rooms?: string[]
Adds 10 HTTP integration tests covering the full system-agent feature surface via tower::ServiceExt::oneshot (no real TCP). Includes a NullBackend to avoid external dependencies. Also fixes terminate_agent handler to return 403 Forbidden (not 500) when attempting to delete a built-in system agent. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
