Previous Session (2026-04-02 afternoon) — HTTPS FIX + USER SUPPORT + MARKETING PUSH

User Issue: Harrison (hwmccormick123@gmail.com)

  • Harrison couldn't connect kbot to Claude Cowork — form requires https://, kbot serve only spoke HTTP
  • Fixed by adding native HTTPS support to kbot serve
  • Emailed him the fix via kernel-comms MCP
  • Email agent is live and running (launchd com.kernel.email-agent) — Harrison can reply and get AI responses via local Ollama

Shipped: kbot serve --https

  • serve.ts — Added --https flag with auto-generated self-signed TLS cert (~/.kbot/certs/)
  • cli.ts — Added --https, --cert <path>, --key <path> flags
  • ensureSelfSignedCert() — EC P-256 cert via openssl, 365-day validity, localhost + 127.0.0.1 SANs
  • Users can also provide custom certs: kbot serve --cert x.pem --key x.key
  • Clean build, clean typecheck

Marketing Push

  • HN post live: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47622060 (Show HN: K:BOT — 738-tool terminal AI agent, plugs into Claude Cowork)
  • X thread drafted — 4 tweets in tools/social-posts-2026-04-02.md (X API tokens expired, needs manual post)
  • LinkedIn drafted — also in tools/social-posts-2026-04-02.md
  • Demo recording script created at tools/demo-recording.sh (asciinema + vhs + agg all installed)
  • Competitor intel: Skales (BSL-1.1, desktop GUI agent from Vienna, 6 HN points) — kbot differentiates on: true MIT open source, terminal-native, 738 tools, Claude Cowork connector, deeper local AI

  • npm publish with HTTPS changes not yet done
  • Video demo still pending
  • LinkedIn post needs manual posting

Previous Session (2026-04-01 overnight) — CLAUDE CODE LEAK → DREAM ENGINE → NIGHT SHIFT

Claude Code Source Leak Study + Original Builds

What happened: Claude Code's full source (~512K lines TypeScript) leaked via source maps in npm package @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.88. Studied the architecture, built original features inspired by patterns found.

Shipped: v3.63.0 — Dream Engine + Rival Intel

  • Dream Engine (dream.ts, 660 lines) — post-session memory consolidation via local Ollama, exponential decay aging, dream journal auto-injected into system prompt
  • 5 dream tools — dream_now, dream_status, dream_journal, dream_search, dream_reinforce
  • Rival Intel Agent (.claude/agents/rival-intel.md) — competitive intelligence on Claude Code architecture
  • CLI — kbot dream run/status/search/journal
  • Published npm + pushed GitHub

Shipped: v3.64.0 — Night Shift (buddy, voice, scanner)

  • Buddy System (buddy.ts, 513 lines) — 8 ASCII companion species, 5 moods, deterministic assignment, persistent naming
  • Voice Input (voice-input.ts, 466 lines) — local STT via whisper.cpp + Ollama, push-to-talk
  • Memory Scanner (memory-scanner.ts, 564 lines) — passive in-session detection of corrections, preferences, project facts. Hooks into addTurn(), scans every 5 turns.
  • 6 new tools — buddy_status, buddy_rename, voice_listen, voice_status, memory_scan_status, memory_scan_toggle
  • Published npm + pushed GitHub

Stats

  • 686 registered tools (was 671 at session start)
  • v3.64.0 on npm (was v3.62.0 at session start)
  • npm: 4,806 downloads/week, 6 GitHub stars

Previous Session (2026-03-31 night) — ABLETON BEAT SESSION: Kalan.FrFr x Don Toliver

Built a full beat in Ableton Live 12 via kbot OSC + AppleScript automation

Session: 142 BPM | F minor | Fm - Db - Ab - Eb progression

Active tracks (all Roland Cloud):

  1. TR-808 DRUMS (track 5) — 81-note pattern: bouncy syncopated kick, clap on 2&4, hi-hats w/ triplet rolls, rimshot, conga
  2. ZENOLOGY 808 BASS (track 17) — 10-note sub bass pattern, F1→Db2→Ab1→Eb2 with ghost re-triggers
  3. ZENOLOGY MELODY (track 18) — 14-note dreamy pluck motif, Ab→Bb→C movement
  4. XV-5080 PAD (track 13) — 16-note wide chord voicings, one per bar
  5. ZENOLOGY COUNTER (track 20) — 8-note subtle F5/Eb5 fills

What worked:

  • kbot AbletonOSC tools: transport, track rename, clip create, MIDI write, clip fire, mixer — all solid
  • Plugin loading via AppleScript: View > Search in Browser → type name → keyboard Down arrows → Return
  • ZENOLOGY (not FX) loads with 3 Down arrows to skip past FX presets
  • TR-808 loaded via Python Quartz drag from browser to session view
  • cliclick installed via Homebrew for macOS mouse automation

What didn't work:

  • load_plugin OSC endpoint — always times out (custom kbot extension, not in standard AbletonOSC)
  • CGEvent mouse drags — coordinates didn't match screen positions (Retina scaling mismatch)
  • IDE terminal steals focus from Ableton on every bash command — solved by running clicks inside osascript blocks
  • Loading multiple heavy Roland plugins in sequence can crash Ableton

Presets still needed (user will do manually):

  • ZENOLOGY tracks need bass/pluck/texture presets selected
  • XV-5080 needs a pad preset selected
  • Add reverb + delay sends on melody and counter tracks

Previous Session (2026-03-31 afternoon) — SHIP v3.59.0 + COMPUTER-USE VERIFIED

Shipped to GitHub, npm pending auth

Published to GitHub

  • v3.59.0 committed and pushed (96 files, +8,157 lines)
  • Commit: ea31a96b + 1733988a (serum2 registration fix)

What shipped

  1. 5 bug fixes — concurrent session state (memory.ts → Map), selfTrain guard, DNS rebinding SSRF, Gemini/Cohere tool warning, edit_file full-context diff
  2. Session isolation — serve.ts creates unique session per HTTP request, destroys after
  3. 9 M4L devices — auto-pilot, bass-synth, dj-fx, drum-synth, genre-morph, hat-machine, pad-synth, riser-engine, sidechain
  4. DJ Set Builder — registered in tool index
  5. Serum 2 Preset tool — was missing from index, now registered
  6. Computer-use expansion — 866+ lines added to computer.ts
  7. Ableton Live integration — OSC-based class in integrations/

Computer-Use MCP Verified

  • list_granted_applications — works
  • request_access — works (granted Finder)
  • screenshot — works (captured desktop)
  • Significance: kbot goes from terminal-only to full desktop agent

Stats

  • 698 tests passing (vitest), 0 type errors
  • 670+ registered tools
  • npm publish blocked — token expired, needs npm login

Not done

  • npm publish (needs auth)
  • GitHub release (can do next session)
  • Show HN post
  • Video demo

Previous Session (2026-03-31 night) — CODE QUALITY & CONCURRENCY FIXES

Night shift — 5 bug fixes, 1 security fix, 8 new tests

Bug Fixes Applied

  1. Concurrent state in memory.ts — Replaced single sessionHistory array with Map<string, ConversationTurn[]> keyed by session ID. All functions accept optional sessionId param (default 'default'). Added destroySession() for serve mode cleanup. CLI unchanged.
  2. Concurrent state in learning.ts — Added concurrency docs (shared state is intentional for learning). Added selfTrainRunning guard to prevent overlapping selfTrain() runs.
  3. DNS rebinding in fetch.ts — SSRF protection now resolves hostname via dns.lookup() and checks resolved IP against blocked ranges. Domains pointing to 127.0.0.1 are now caught.
  4. Gemini/Cohere silent degradation — Added upfront warning when these providers are used with tools: "provider doesn't support native tool calling — tools will be parsed from text output".
  5. edit_file diff preview — Now passes full file content to diff preview (was passing just the matched fragment). Diff algorithm shows 3 lines of context with ... separators.

Serve Mode Session Isolation (bonus)

  • Wired sessionId through AgentOptions → runAgent → all memory calls
  • serve.ts now creates a unique session per HTTP request and destroys it after
  • Concurrent /stream requests no longer share conversation history

Tests

  • 8 new session isolation tests in memory.test.ts
  • 698 tests passing (up from 690)
  • 0 type errors (tsc --noEmit clean)
  • Clean build

Stats

  • 600 registered tools (verified: 549 in tools/ + 51 elsewhere)
  • README "600+" claim is accurate

Previous Session (2026-03-29/30) — ABLETON BRAIN + M4L + TERMINAL CONTROL

Built AI music production system + full terminal control for platform ops
