`_flush_session` discarded the observation flags when it rebuilt an evicted SDK session, and the
cached path returned none, so recall fell back to the config snapshot. Both paths now return and
store the flags. A deferred `save()` on a session the cap evicted puts it back in the cache, or
flushes it inline when a newer object owns the key. `save()` and `stop_async_writer()` share the
writer lock, and the writer drains its queue after the join, so a put that raced shutdown is
written. The trim after a flush runs under the cache lock. The shutdown join takes the remaining
budget instead of a fixed ten seconds.
The injection audit file is created owner-only, and `logging: "false"` reads as off. The desktop
passes `<provider>:<user id>` so a basic-auth alice and an OIDC alice are two peers. When a
gateway platform supplies no user id, the peer notice and tool error no longer recommend
peerName, which would merge every user of that gateway onto one peer. README documents
`injection.sessionStart`, `logging`, and what a dashboard login does to peer resolution.
a desktop or cli session with no peerName in honcho.json and no gateway
user id landed on a peer derived from the session key: user-default-<dir>
for per-directory sessions, user-<channel>-<chat> for keyed ones. every
directory got its own phantom peer, so the operator's turns and memory
never reached their real peer and the injected representation went stale
(#93326).
_resolve_user_peer_id now raises HonchoPeerUnresolvedError instead of
deriving a name. a peer is either the declared peerName or an identity
the transport supplied. the provider records the failure, tells the model
once that memory is off and which key to set, returns the same detail
from tool calls, and stops retrying init because a missing config key
does not heal mid-session. the memory-file migration gate loses its
"no owner and no runtime identity" branch: that cohort no longer has a
session to migrate into. whitespace-only peerName is treated as unset
rather than sanitized to "--".
The four observation booleans on HonchoSessionManager were manager-wide
mutable state initialized from per-session server configs: every session
setup overwrote them, so the last session to initialize retuned recall
routing for all other sessions the manager serves. Store the server-synced
flags under each session's own id instead; the manager-level fields stay
as the config snapshot and sessions that never synced fall back to them.
_generated_runtime_peer_id takes a reserved set, and the bot path passes the session's human peer ids: each runtime id and the peer _resolve_user_peer_id returns for the key. bot:coder with a runtime human coder and no runtimePeerPrefix now gets the digest suffix. _explicit_user_peer_ids keeps its meaning for prefixed runtime users.
_a2a_session_key now names the session <session>:a2a:<aiPeer>:<sender id>-<digest>. Two profiles that share a workspace and a session key wrote one sender's DMs into one Honcho session. The recipient peer comes from the same aiPeer derivation the session builder uses, moved into session_peers.assistant_peer_id_for so the two cannot drift.
_peer_id_for_runtime_id now looks up userPeerAliases by the full bot id and otherwise passes everything after bot: through _generated_runtime_peer_id. A digest suffix is added when sanitizing changed the id or the result equals peerName or an alias target, so bot:eri never resolves to the operator's peer and bot:a.b stays apart from bot:a-b. The docstring and README no longer claim a cloned profile's aiPeer defaults to the profile name.
A gateway platform marks a bot sender with its raw user id and a bot flag, never a `bot:` id.
`resolve_author_peer_id` treated that author as a human, so `pinUserPeer` collapsed a bot onto
`peerName` and an unresolved peer opened the a2a session under the human's peer. The resolver now
takes `is_bot` and gives every bot its own peer. `sync_turn` skips the turn when no peer resolves
or when the peer equals this agent's `aiPeer`.
The a2a session key carries an eight-character digest of the author id, so two ids that sanitize
alike stay in separate sessions. During a bot-authored turn `honcho_conclude` and `honcho_profile`
refuse writes and the built-in memory mirror is skipped, because conclusions and cards describe
the human. The README paragraph on bot DMs now matches the code.
with pinUserPeer on, resolve_author_peer_id returned None for every author,
so a bot dm's words were written under the human's pinned peer inside the
a2a session. the pin exists to unify one person's platform accounts. a bot
is not one of them.
bot: authors now resolve to their peer before the pin check, so a pinned
operator still gets bot speech attributed to the bot.
The bot-mode dispatcher names another profile as bot:<profile>. The
resolver treated that like a human runtime id, so a configured
runtimePeerPrefix produced peers like telegram_bot:coder and a profile
that already owns an AI peer in the same workspace got a second one.
A bot:<profile> author now resolves in this order: a userPeerAliases entry
for the full bot id, else the sanitized profile name. A cloned profile's
aiPeer defaults to the profile name, so a same-workspace sender lands on
its existing AI peer. Prefixes never apply to bot ids. pinUserPeer still
collapses bot authors onto the pinned peer, the same as every other author.
sync_turn only knew the author through the on_turn_start stash. The memory
manager now passes turn_author and scope with the turn, and a caller
that skips on_turn_start left the stash empty or stale.
sync_turn takes both keywords and reads the author from turn_author first.
The stash stays as the fallback for callers that never pass it.
resolve_author_peer_id compared the author against the primary runtime id
only. A transport that names the participant by the alt id (Telegram
username instead of UID) got a second peer for the same person. Either
runtime id now counts as the session's own participant.
The manager resolved one user peer in `get_or_create` and froze it onto the
session, then `_flush_session` chose between it and the assistant peer by
role. Every user turn in a shared session landed on that one peer, so the
first person to message the agent collected everyone else's facts — and a
Honcho conclusion, once derived, is not self-correcting.
`resolve_author_peer_id` maps the turn's author onto its own peer using the
alias-then-prefix order `_resolve_user_peer_id` already applies, so an
aliased account reaches the same peer whichever turn it wrote. `sync_turn`
resolves it before starting the write thread, so a following turn cannot
retag a queued write. `_flush_session` then writes each user message under
that peer.
A shared session's roster is open — people and other agents arrive after
the session exists — so `_author_peer_for_session` joins a peer when it
first writes instead of enumerating participants at init. Joins are
remembered per session, and a failed join still writes under the right
peer, losing only the observe config.
Three cases return None and keep the session's own peer: no author named,
the author IS the session's peer, and `pinPeerName` set — that flag is an
explicit request to unify identities, so it still collapses authors in a
shared chat.
An unnamed author stays unattributed rather than defaulting to the owner.
That preserves today's behavior for the transports that send no author, so
those turns still reach the session peer; #83500 owner-gated the memory-file
migration for the same reason.
Display names never become peer IDs — they are attacker-influenceable on
any platform where participants set their own name.
