mana-ai

Background runner for the AI Workbench. Picks up due Missions from the mana_sync Postgres and plans/proposes next steps without requiring an open browser tab. Complements the foreground startMissionTick in the webapp (apps/mana/apps/web/src/lib/data/ai/missions/setup.ts).

Design context:

• docs/architecture/COMPANION_BRAIN_ARCHITECTURE.md §20 (AI Workbench base), §21 (Mission Key-Grants), §22 (Multi-Agent Workbench)
• docs/plans/ai-mission-key-grant.md — Shipped (per-mission key-grant for encrypted inputs)
• docs/plans/multi-agent-workbench.md — Shipped (named agents, per-agent policy/memory, scene lens)
• docs/plans/team-workbench.md — Forward-looking (multi-user + shared team context)
• docs/future/AI_AGENTS_IDEAS.md — Unshipped improvement backlog

Status: v0.3 (full close-the-loop)

What works end-to-end:

• Boots as a Hono/Bun service on port 3067
• Exposes /health and service-key-gated /internal/tick
• Replays sync_changes for appId='ai' / table='aiMissions' into live Mission records via field-level LWW (src/db/missions-projection.ts)
• Lists due missions (state='active' && nextRunAt <= now())
• For each due mission: shared buildPlannerPrompt (from @mana/shared-ai) → mana-llm /v1/chat/completions → strict parsePlannerResponse
• Per-mission try/catch so one flaky LLM response doesn't abort the queue; stats differentiate plansProduced / plansWrittenBack / parseFailures
• Server-side tool allow-list (src/planner/tools.ts) mirrors the webapp's DEFAULT_AI_POLICY propose subset
• Write-back: db/iteration-writer.ts appends the server-produced iteration to Mission.iterations[] via a sync_changes INSERT under an RLS-scoped withUser transaction. Row is attributed with actor {kind:'system', source:'mission-runner'}.
• Webapp staging effect (server-iteration-staging.ts) picks up the synced iteration and translates each PlanStep into a local Proposal with full AI-actor attribution (missionId + iterationId + rationale). Idempotent via durable proposalId markers.
• Server-side input resolvers for plaintext tables — db/resolvers/ with a pluggable registry + single-record LWW replay (record-replay.ts). goals resolver ships by default. Encrypted tables (notes, kontext, tasks, events, journal, …) are intentionally not resolved server-side; those missions depend on the foreground runner which decrypts client-side. See resolvers/types.ts for the privacy rationale.
• Materialized mission snapshots — mana_ai.mission_snapshots table with per-tick incremental refresh (db/snapshot-refresh.ts). listDueMissions is now a single indexed SELECT; the prior O(N changes) LWW replay stays only in mergeAndFilter for tests. Idempotent migrate() on boot creates the schema.
• Prometheus metrics on /metrics — process defaults with mana_ai_ prefix + counters (mana_ai_ticks_total, mana_ai_plans_produced_total, mana_ai_plans_written_back_total, mana_ai_parse_failures_total, mana_ai_mission_errors_total, mana_ai_snapshots_*) and histograms (mana_ai_tick_duration_seconds, mana_ai_planner_request_duration_seconds, mana_ai_http_request_duration_seconds). Scraped 30s by docker/prometheus/prometheus.yml's mana-ai job. /health is also blackbox-probed and surfaces on status.mana.how under "Internal" as "Mana AI Runner".

All v0.3 roadmap items shipped. Future polish (not blockers):

• Multi-instance deploy with advisory locks on snapshot refresh (today single-process)
• Read-only /internal/missions/:userId endpoint for ops inspection

Status: v0.4 (Mission Key-Grants, in Arbeit)

Opt-in Mechanismus zum Entschluesseln der encrypted Input-Tabellen (notes, tasks, events, journal, kontext) serverseitig. Plan: docs/plans/ai-mission-key-grant.md. Architektur: docs/architecture/COMPANION_BRAIN_ARCHITECTURE.md §21.

Was steht (Phase 0-2, Backend):

• RSA-OAEP-2048 keypair slots — MANA_AI_PRIVATE_KEY_PEM (ai) / MANA_AI_PUBLIC_KEY_PEM (auth). Ohne Env-Var laeuft der Service unveraendert; Grants werden dann einfach uebersprungen.
• Canonical HKDF in @mana/shared-ai (missions/grant.ts). Scope-Binding (tables + recordIds) via info-String → Scope-Change = neuer Key = existierender Grant automatisch invalidiert.
• POST /api/v1/me/ai-mission-grant auf mana-auth — leitet MDK ab, RSA-wrapped, lehnt Zero-Knowledge-User ab, TTL-clamped [1h, 30d].
• mana_ai.decrypt_audit Tabelle + RLS (user_scope via app.current_user_id). Append-only.
• crypto/unwrap-grant.ts — Private-Key-Import, Grant-Entwrapping mit structured reasons (not-configured / expired / wrap-rejected / malformed).
• crypto/decrypt-value.ts — Mirror des webapp AES-GCM wire format (enc:1:<iv>.<ct>).
• Encrypted Resolver (db/resolvers/encrypted.ts) fuer notes / tasks / calendar / journal / kontext. Checkt recordId-Allowlist, replayt Record, entschluesselt enc:1:-Felder, schreibt Audit-Row pro Record.
• Tick-Loop-Integration (cron/tick.ts) — unwrappt Grant pro Mission, baut ResolverContext mit mdk + allowlist, Key lebt nur waehrend planOneMission.
• Metriken: mana_ai_decrypts_total{table}, mana_ai_grant_scope_violations_total{table} (Alert > 0!), mana_ai_grant_skips_total{reason}.

Was offen ist (Phase 3, Frontend):

• Webapp MissionGrantDialog + Consent-Flow im Mission-Detail.
• Revoke-Button + "Datenzugriff" Audit-Tab im Workbench.
• GET /api/v1/me/ai-audit JWT-gated Endpoint live.
• Feature-Flag PUBLIC_AI_MISSION_GRANTS + Cloudflare-Tunnel.
• Produktions-Keypair auf Mac-Mini unter secrets/mana-ai/.

Status: v0.5 (Multi-Agent Workbench)

Der Runner wird agent-bewusst — Missionen gehoeren einem benannten Agent, Policy und Memory leben auf dem Agent, Concurrency + Budget werden pro Agent respektiert.

• mana_ai.agent_snapshots Tabelle (LWW-Projektion von agents aus sync_changes).
• refreshAgentSnapshots + loadActiveAgents parallel zum Mission-Snapshot-Refresh.
• ServerMission.agentId + ServerAgent.policy durchgereicht.
• Tick resolvt pro Mission den Agent, gated archived/paused/concurrency, schreibt iteration unter makeAgentActor(agent) Identitaet.
• <agent_context> Prompt-Block mit plaintext role + systemPrompt + memory (ciphertext wird uebersprungen).
• filterToolsByAgentPolicy schneidet deny-Tools raus bevor der Planner sie sieht.
• Metrik mana_ai_agent_decisions_total{decision}.

Status: v0.6 (Server-side Web-Research + erweiterte Tools)

Der Runner kann jetzt vor dem Planner-Call eigenstaendig Web-Recherche ausfuehren (ohne Browser). Serverseitig werden 31 propose-Tools ueber 16 Module vom Planner vorgeschlagen (auto-Tools laufen ausschliesslich in der Webapp-Reasoning-Loop — der Server sieht nur propose).

• NewsResearchClient (planner/news-research-client.ts) — HTTP-Client fuer mana-api's /api/v1/news-research/discover + /search. Timeouts 15s/30s, graceful-null bei Fehler.
• Pre-Planning-Research-Step in cron/tick.ts — bei Mission-Objectives mit Research-Keywords (recherchier|research|news|today|historisch|...) wird automatisch vor dem Planner-Call RSS-Discovery + Search ausgefuehrt. Ergebnisse als ResolvedInput mit id='__web-research__' injiziert.
• config.manaApiUrl + Docker-Compose-Wiring (MANA_API_URL: http://mana-api:3060, depends_on: mana-api).
• 31 propose-Tools ueber 16 Module (Server-Sicht — auto-Tools sind nur in der Webapp):
  • todo: create_task, complete_task, complete_tasks_by_title
  • calendar: create_event
  • notes: create_note, update_note, append_to_note, add_tag_to_note
  • places: create_place, visit_place
  • drink: undo_drink

Open design questions (for next PR)

1. How do plan results get back to the user's device?

Proposals live in a local-only Dexie table (pendingProposals) — they don't sync. So the server can't just write proposals directly.

Options:

(a) Write iteration + plan to aiMissions, let the browser stage proposals on arrival. Server appends an iteration with overallStatus: 'server-planned' and the plan steps. When the webapp next syncs, an effect subscribed to iteration changes translates each step into a local Proposal using the existing createProposal(). Clean: preserves the "proposals are local" invariant. Risk: duplicate proposals if multiple devices pick up the same iteration.

(b) Introduce aiProposedSteps as a synced table. Server writes here directly; the webapp treats it as a source for its local pendingProposals. Requires a migration step + duplicates the proposal model.

(c) Make pendingProposals sync. Simplest schema change, most invasive: approvals + rejections now race across devices. Would need server-authoritative state transitions.

Leaning (a) — minimal schema change, single source of truth. Implementation sketch: add iteration.source: 'browser' | 'server' and a "staging queue" on the webapp that dedups via iterationId.

2. Does the server need full LWW replay?

The projection replays every sync_changes row for aiMissions on every tick. For a small user base this is fine; past ~100 users × hundreds of rows it becomes wasteful.

Option: materialized view refreshed on sync-change insert via a trigger or a per-user ai_mission_snapshot table the service maintains. Defer until the load shows up.

3. Planner prompt: duplicate or share?

prompt.ts + parser.ts live in the webapp's @mana/web/src/lib/data/ai/missions/planner/. Server-side copies would drift. Options:

• Extract a @mana/shared-ai package with the prompt/parser
• Keep two copies with a contract test
• Only the webapp plans; server just triggers the browser via push

First is cleanest; TS source, imports cleanly in both Bun and Vite.

Writing code in here

• No database schema of its own — this service is pure consumer. If you need persistent state (retry queues, per-user cursors), add a separate table namespace under mana_ai.* schema on the mana_sync database, not a new DB.
• src/db/missions-projection.ts is the ONLY place that does LWW replay. Don't duplicate the logic; add new projection helpers there.
• Follow the foreground-runner contract: injected deps (planner, write-back) for tests. Bun's bun test runs in src/**/*.test.ts.
