Hey, i think there is a issue in this
-- send_message (routes.py) The route re-fetches the full history just to get message_id, but service.send() already creates and returns the persisted msg — just use that directly. As-is this adds an unnecessary DB hit and is fragile under concurrent sessions.

Good catch! I've updated ConversationService.send() to return tuple[RunResult, ConversationMessage | None] so send_message uses the returned persisted message directly without re-querying conversation history. Pushed the update!

message id is only should be populate on agent manager, agent engine is stateless component that anwer question only

Surface per-conversation token usage against the configured context_max_tokens budget so users see how full the context is before they hit the 429 wall. Backend (source of truth): - ContextUsage domain value object with a ContextSeverity StrEnum and a from_totals factory that owns the warning/critical thresholds - GET /conversations/{id}/usage returns used_tokens, max_tokens, percent and severity; ConversationService.usage sums stored token counts - schema reuses the domain ContextSeverity enum (no duplicated literals) Widget (stateless renderer): - AgentChatClient.getUsage + useConversation.loadUsage fetch usage on open and after each turn; no client-side token math or thresholds - ContextMeter ring (severity-coloured, hover popover) shown only when a budget is set; hidden and non-breaking against backends without /usage Also: neutral demo copy and a documented CONTEXT_MAX_TOKENS in the starter example. Tests: usage endpoint, severity thresholds, and two widget e2e cases. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Let a user see their past conversations, start a new one, and switch between them, backed by the agent manager as the source of truth. Backend: - Repository.list_sessions(user_id) + rename_session (port, memory, sql) - GET /conversations?user_id=... returns id, title, last_message_at (most-recently-active first); ConversationService.list_conversations - thread_title() derives a title from the first user message; the service sets it on the first turn of a conversation Widget (stateless; BE owns the list and titles): - anonymous per-browser user id in localStorage, sent on create/list; an optional <agent-chat user="..."> attribute overrides it, leaving the seam for real host identity later - AgentChatClient.listConversations + useConversation listThreads/ switchTo/startNew - header history + new-chat buttons and a slide-over thread drawer; switching loads that thread's messages and usage; drawer is inert when closed. Degrades to empty list against a backend without the endpoint Tests: listing scoped by user, auto-title, and a widget e2e for the drawer (list, switch, new chat).

Show a bouncing-dots indicator while the assistant has no answer text yet, and keep it visible when the user leaves a streaming thread and returns. Messages now live in a per-conversation map keyed by the id captured at submit time, so switching threads only swaps the view — the in-flight stream keeps writing to its own bucket. `typing` means "stream in flight" (set at submit, cleared at completion); reduceStreamEvent is reduced to content accumulation only, fixing dots that could otherwise linger on an empty final answer.

Hi, Please see my working UI branch https://github.com/extra-org/extra/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22ui+enhancement%22

Hi @AmitAvital1,

Stateless Engine Rule: Updated agent_engine to be completely stateless—message_id is now managed strictly inside agent_manager (service.py & routes.py), keeping agent_engine untouched.
UI Screenshot: Here is the screenshot showing the 👍 / 👎 feedback buttons rendered at the bottom of assistant messages in the chat widget:

Hi @AmitAvital1,

Rebased on PR feat(widget): bouncing-dots loading that survives thread switches #60: Rebased directly on top of your latest stacked UI branch origin/feat/widget-message-loading (feat(widget): bouncing-dots loading that survives thread switches #60).
Stateless Engine Compliance: Confirmed agent_engine remains completely untouched and stateless; message_id is scoped strictly to agent_manager.
Optimized Route: send_message directly consumes the persisted message returned by service.send().
Real Product UI Screenshot: Here is the real product screenshot captured from the chat widget UI showing the interactive 👍 and 👎 feedback buttons rendered alongside the Copy action on assistant messages:

redundant change

AmitAvital1 · 2026-07-28T17:38:05Z

    async def send(
        self, conversation_id: str, text: str, *, user_id: str | None = None
-    ) -> RunResult:
+    ) -> tuple[RunResult, ConversationMessage | None]:


send() and stream() now return tuples. When you change them, agentctl run breaks, because it still reads result.answer and event.type. The CLI catches all exceptions, so instead
▎ of a traceback you only see "✗ Runtime error". make check currently fails with 8 mypy errors and 2 test failures, all from this. I ran the target branch and it is green there,
▎ so this change introduces it.
▎
▎ I also think the tuple is not the right shape. Every event has to be yielded as yield event, None, even though only the final one carries an id. And a tuple gives mypy nothing
▎ to point at when a caller drifts, which is what happened here.

AmitAvital1 · 2026-07-28T17:38:46Z

  error?: string;
  system_name?: string;
  used_tools?: ToolRecord[];
+  message_id?: string;


message_id is added to the stream event here and in schemas.py:88, and the backend sends it (routes.py:172). But nothing on the frontend reads it from a stream event.
▎
▎ Because of that, every message in the current session has no server id. The widget streams by default (AgentChatApp.tsx:209), so the feedback POST goes to a random client-side
▎ UUID and returns 404. The optimistic update at AgentChatApp.tsx:169 also matches on message_id, so the button does not change color either. The user clicks and nothing happens.
▎
▎ It only works after a page reload, when the id comes from the history call. I think that is why it looked fine in manual testing.

AmitAvital1 · 2026-07-28T17:39:25Z

+      );
+      try {
+        await client.recordFeedback(convId, messageId, feedback);
+      } catch {


Not blocking the user on a failed vote is the right choice. But the optimistic update is never rolled back, so the thumb stays filled for a vote that was never saved, and it
▎ disappears after reload. I would keep the previous value and restore it in the catch.
▎
▎ I would also add a console.warn. The empty catch {} is the reason the missing message_id was not noticed during development.

AmitAvital1 · 2026-07-28T17:39:49Z


    assert response.status_code == 200
-    assert 'event: final\ndata: {"type": "final", "content": "done", "route": ["agent"]}' in text
+    assert "event: final" in text


This assertion is weaker than the one it replaces — it checks three substrings instead of the exact payload. It only failed because message_id was added. As written, the test
▎ would still pass if any other field appeared in the SSE payload, which is exactly what you want to catch while fields are being added there.

+"""add feedback column to conversation_messages


I think it is a good moment to add feedback_at
too. One nullable column, and it is the difference between "we have 400 thumbs-down" and "thumbs-down doubled after the 3.2 deploy". Also worth writing in the PR description that
set/unset keeps only the current opinion and drops vote history — for evaluation that is the right trade, it is just better as a stated decision.
