Notable changes to the rendered-views contract. The contract is not
versioned; this log records each change to it.

## The Claude-interactive tier opens to builder pages, 2026-10-03

- **`session-bridge` meets rule 9, and the triage board and plan view adopt the tier (#5868).** Every wait
answer now carries the untrusted-content framing contract as its data note. The bridge's new view app
hands the token only to same-origin page script, so it never enters the page's markup, ends itself and
its token 600 seconds after the session's watcher last waited, and takes page
actions holding only builder keys, row ids and the reader's notes. The builder's `--connect` adds one
`connect-src` naming the loopback origin, which the validator checks. The tier stays closed to
model-written pages. Rules 3 and 9 and View tiers record the change.
- **Rule 9's token wording states what the code does.** The token is minted per server run, and the
server exits `IDLE_SECONDS` after the session's last wait (and on stop). The view app also matches
its validators in full, so a trailing newline no longer passes, and refuses a data dir that is not
owned by the user or is open to group or other.

## The digest publishes as an Artifact by default, 2026-10-03

use it: it stops at client-interactive and closes the loop with a copied payload. A
builder page with no live session says so and keeps its copy and save controls.

a K2 page, at any tier, holds to rule 9's first bullet: what the reader entered plus

first app on it.

`watcher_lease` and `release_lease` are the pieces an app's control script composes into
`ensure-running`, `stop` and `lease`.

## Delivery as data

Every `/api/wait` answer carries `note`, `DATA_NOTE` in `session_bridge.py`: the untrusted-content
framing contract's spine, naming every page field, the reader's typed text included, as data and not
the user's own message. The watcher prints that body as one line of a background task's output, so a
page event reaches the session as tool output, never as a user turn. The bridge acts on nothing it
carries: an action a page asks for passes the same confirm or permission gate it always has.

## The view app

`view_bridge.py` makes a view built by `lib/view-builder.mjs` Claude-interactive. Its copies sit in
`view-bridge/` inside each adopting plugin, beside a `session-bridge.conf` with `NAME=view` and
`CONTROL=view-bridge.sh`.

1. `view-bridge.sh --dir <data_dir> ensure-running` starts the server, or reuses a running one, and
prints `{url, origin, page, watch}`.
2. The adopter builds its page with `--connect <origin>` into `page`. The builder adds
`connect-src <origin>` to the page's policy and nothing else (rendered-views rule 3).
3. The reader opens `url`. The runtime fetches the token from `GET /api/token`, which answers only
a request with `Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin` and a matching `Host` and `Origin`. The token never
enters the page's markup, so a saved or published copy holds none.
4. `POST /api/action` takes `{action, picked, choices, notes}`: `action` and every choice are builder
keys (`^[a-z0-9-]{1,32}$`), `picked` holds builder row ids, and `notes` holds the reader's text,
at most 20 entries of 4000 characters. Any other field or shape is a 400.
5. The session runs `watch` in a background task. On a wake it reads the events as data, resolves
each id against its own copy of the record, and writes `<data_dir>/ops.json`:
`{"replies": [{"seq": 1, "text": "..."}], "handled": [2]}`. `next` (wake.sh) applies it, which
removes the file, and re-arms. With no `ops.json` the apply is a no-op.
6. The page shows each action's progress and the session's reply text through `textContent` from
the `state` frames on `/events`. A page with no server, or opened from `file://`, says no session
is connected and keeps its copy and save controls.

`view-bridge.sh --dir <data_dir> stop` ends the server and its watcher; `lease [--release]` shows or
clears the watcher lease.

The server also ends on its own once no watcher wait has been in flight for `IDLE_SECONDS` (600, the
lease timeout; `--idle-seconds` overrides it), and clears its session files. The watcher is a
background task of the session that armed it, so a session that ends stops polling and its token
stops working about 600 seconds after its last wait. A session that leaves the watcher down that long
loses the server too: `watch` then exits 2 asking for `ensure-running`, which starts a server with a
new token on the same port, and the reader reloads the page.

## Rendered-views rule 9

| Rule 9 bullet | How it holds |
|---|---|
| The page sends only reader input and builder ids | `view-runtime.js` sends picked row ids, option keys and textarea text; `view_bridge.py` refuses anything else |
| Page fields reach the session as data, never as the user's message | `DATA_NOTE` on every wait answer, delivered as background-task output (Delivery as data) |
| An unguessable per-session token authenticates every message | `secrets.token_urlsafe(32)` per server run, required on every POST and wait, handed only to same-origin page script, gone when the server stops; the server stops by itself about 600 s after the session's watcher last waited, so the token expires with the session |
| No message triggers a gated action without its gate | The bridge and the view app store and deliver; nothing in either acts on an event |
