feat(agents): editable session titles with txid-aware sync (#4546)
## Summary Add editable session titles — users can click a session title in the UI to rename it inline, and Horton gets a `set_title` tool to programmatically set titles. Both paths use a new txid-propagation pattern so tag mutations await sync consistency before resolving. ## Approach Three layers of change: **1. `set_title` tool** (`packages/agents/src/tools/set-title.ts`) New Horton tool that calls `ctx.setTag('title', trimmedTitle)`. Validates non-empty input, returns structured error responses (doesn't throw) so the LLM can react to failures. **2. Click-to-edit UI** (`packages/agents-server-ui/src/components/EntityHeader.tsx`) Title text becomes a `<button>` that switches to an `<input>` on click. Enter delegates to `onBlur` (single save path to prevent double-fire). Escape cancels. Optimistic update via `createSetEntityTitleAction` with rollback on persistence failure. Error toast on failure. **3. txid propagation for tag/send/inbox mutations** The core change that makes this work reliably. Tag mutations (`setTag`/`deleteTag`) now return the Postgres transaction ID (`pg_current_xact_id()`) so clients can call `awaitTxId()` to wait for the write to round-trip through Electric sync before proceeding. The same pattern was added to `send`, `updateInboxMessage`, and `deleteInboxMessage` (using `crypto.randomUUID()` as stream-event txids). The UI-side optimistic actions (`spawn`, `kill`, `signal`, `setEntityTitle`) all await the txid before resolving. ## Key Invariants - `readTxidResponse` accepts both string and numeric txids (Postgres returns numbers per Electric convention; inbox UUIDs are strings) - Tag `awaitTxId` only fires when a write actually occurred (`result.txid` is present); no-op tag writes skip it - `onBlur` is the single save path for title edits — `onKeyDown(Enter)` blurs the input rather than calling save directly - All mutation actions show error toasts on failure (spawn was missing one; now consistent) ## Non-goals - **awaitTxId timeout handling**: All 12 `awaitTxId` call sites will reject on timeout, causing optimistic rollback even though the server succeeded. This pre-dates this PR and warrants its own design decision. - **Parallel arrays refactor**: `uploadMessageAttachments` returns `{ ids, txids }` — could be `Array<{ id, txid }>` but that's a separate cleanup. ## Verification ```bash pnpm vitest run packages/agents-runtime/test/runtime-server-client-update-metadata.test.ts pnpm vitest run packages/agents/test/horton-tool-composition.test.ts pnpm vitest run packages/agents-server/test/electric-agents-routes.test.ts pnpm vitest run packages/agents-server/test/dispatch-policy-routing.test.ts ``` ## Files Changed **New:** - `packages/agents/src/tools/set-title.ts` — `set_title` tool implementation **Feature:** - `packages/agents/src/agents/horton.ts` — Register tool, add to system prompt - `packages/agents-server-ui/src/components/EntityHeader.tsx` — Click-to-edit inline title - `packages/agents-server-ui/src/components/EntityHeader.module.css` — Styles for title input and button - `packages/agents-server-ui/src/lib/ElectricAgentsProvider.tsx` — `createSetEntityTitleAction`, spawn/title error toasts, `awaitTxId` calls **txid propagation:** - `packages/agents-server/src/entity-registry.ts` — Return `pg_current_xact_id()` from tag mutations - `packages/agents-server/src/entity-manager.ts` — Propagate txid through send/inbox/tag operations - `packages/agents-server/src/routing/entities-router.ts` — Return txid in tag/send/inbox responses (204→200+JSON) - `packages/agents-runtime/src/runtime-server-client.ts` — `readTxidResponse` accepts string+number txids - `packages/agents-runtime/src/process-wake.ts` — `awaitTxId` after tag operations - `packages/agents-server-ui/src/lib/sendMessage.ts` — `readRequiredTxid` helper, txid propagation in send/upload/inbox **Tests:** - `packages/agents-runtime/test/runtime-server-client-update-metadata.test.ts` — deleteTag coverage, numeric txid coercion, non-JSON fallback - `packages/agents-server/test/electric-agents-routes.test.ts` — Tag endpoint tests with txid - `packages/agents-server/test/dispatch-policy-routing.test.ts` — Updated mocks for new return types - `packages/agents/test/horton-tool-composition.test.ts` — set_title happy/empty/error paths 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
