An agent that meets a login page asks with boite ask --open <url> "<site and why>" "Signed in" Skip. The question card gets an Open button that shows the page in the thread's side panel, on the Browser tab, where the user signs in. The machine's browser profile keeps the session for every conversation.

what changed

  • QuestionRequest.open?: { url } and the same field on the question part; questions.ask takes open.
  • boite ask --open <url>: the core checks the address with the rules boite browse uses (checkSurface: http or https) and refuses one that carries a user name or password.
  • The question card (thread dock) and the Agents page's question show Open when open is set. Open goes to the thread first when it is not the one open (Agents page, another conversation), opens the page as boite browse does (a new tab) through questions.openPage, and shows the panel on the Browser tab, live (lib/question-page.ts).
  • questions.openPage { threadId, questionId } names the question, not an address: the core reads its open.url, checks it again with checkSurface and opens it. Paired phones may call it for the conversation they are subscribed to; panel.open stays the owner's, with its file, diff and other surfaces.
  • A question with open never goes to a delegated agent's parent (delegationAnswerable): the parent would otherwise see it and could answer "Signed in" for a page only the user can sign in to.
  • The agent guide's boite ask line (shown only to agents that get async questions) adds the login-wall form; docs/cli.md and docs/browser.md describe it.
  • No card type of its own: the earlier sign-in card, its contracts, core routes, CLI command, loader, strings and timeline branches are gone.

to question

"Signed in" is the user's word, not a check of the site.

On a persistent agent's thread the composer is replaced by "Mira runs this thread", so after Open the question is a row there and is answered back on the Agents page. That is how main draws every question of such a thread.

Bundle size

Fresh bun run build:ui and build:core on Windows against the bundle-sizes artifact of main at ba848441: entry chunk 509,878 bytes (+1,089, +0.21 %), UI files 4,670,711 (+1,682, +0.04 %), core JavaScript 4,522,849 (+770, +0.02 %). CI measures on Linux and may differ by a few bytes.

The entry grows by the Open button in QuestionCard and the Agents page's question, the page props passed from the timeline and the dock, and lib/question-page.ts (go to the thread, panel.open, show the Browser tab). Those components are in the entry already; a lazy chunk for about 1 KB would cost more than it saves.

verified

  • lib/question-page.test.ts: in a thread, the docked card's Open (labelled Open, titled with the URL) opens the panel on the Browser tab at that page; on the Agents page, Open leaves the page for the session thread and opens its panel on the Browser tab at that page.
  • core/test/ask-open.test.ts: the card keeps open.url; file: and an address with a password are refused.
  • core/test/ask-open.test.ts, with a real paired phone: refused before it subscribes, then opens the page of the pending question; a question without a page and panel.open are refused. This test fails on the previous head, where Open on a phone hit panel.open is for the owner only.
  • Core brain, delegation, cli, views tests pass (the guide budget and the "echo never receives the ask command" rule hold). UI tests of questions, agents, timeline, dock and fake client: 58 pass. svelte-check 0 errors, architecture, contracts and core check pass, translations 3176 of 3176.
  • not verified: the Windows desktop app's hosted WebView2 path, only the frames path in the dev UI with the fake client. The phone path is the same panel as on desktop (full screen there), not recaptured.

📝 Walkthrough

Asynchronous questions can include a page URL. Core code validates the URL and supports opening it in the thread browser. Question views provide an Open action that selects the relevant thread and browser panel.

Changes: Question page opening

Question views show an Open action when a question has a page URL. Selecting it opens the related thread and activates its browser panel. Tests cover the thread activity and Agents-page actions.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c7cf1

The change is mergeable with owner awareness: the demo client can show page requests the real app would reject, and the login guidance could be clearer about keeping credentials out of chat.

Add the required phone-width capture.

QuestionCard.svelte:173-175 adds a visible control, so the visual-change guidance applies. AGENTS.md requires captures at both desktop and phone widths. The supplied evidence includes desktop views but no phone-width capture of the changed card. Add that capture while retaining the desktop capture; this requirement does not imply a layout failure.

Validate params.open in the fake questions.ask handler.

checkAsk(params) does not validate open, but requests.ts:322 forwards params.open to askAsync, which stores it on the question card. The fake client can therefore accept file: URLs or URLs with credentials that the core rejects.

Apply the same URL validation used by the core before calling askAsync, and extend the existing question scenario to cover this parity requirement.

Specify what must not be requested in chat.

“Never in chat” does not identify the prohibited content. Explicitly tell the agent not to ask for passwords or other login credentials in chat. The PR objective requires this boundary.
