OpenHands PRs by enyst and smolpaws
28 open PRs in five OpenHands repositories. See what each changes, its latest review, checks, and next step.
How SmolPaws resets its context
The agent saves notes and chooses when to call condense. Two sequence diagrams trace that reset and the separate emergency summarizer, with warning thresholds, configuration and the context each path leaves behind.
Codex provides Voice. OpenHands does the work.
Current draft Insider Cat Voice behavior: direct Codex handoffs to one saved OpenHands conversation, tools, context, controls, and verification limits.
WhatsApp: normal operation on the shared server
Main, OpenHands and Hunting moved to the normal shared server on September 17, preserving their conversations. Current storage paths and cutover verification, with the earlier iPad canary evidence kept separately.
The insider cat
A Cat beside your work: saved OpenHands conversations, normal tools and skills, and Voice that hands requests to the same agent. Current development behavior, checked 31 October.
Bridges, one server, and the last steps
One TypeScript OpenHands agent-server and standalone relay bridges. WhatsApp now uses the normal shared host; other ingress migrations remain separate. Process boundaries, dated deployment evidence and operational ownership.
SmolPaws architecture audit: five seams to harden
A whole-repository, evidence-first review: fourteen explicit scopes and twenty provisional opportunities, independently reduced to five lean correctness and security findings. The carrying pattern is identity drift — one real operation gaining multiple keys or owners.
The insider cat — from your side
Start or resume a Cat, move between Projects and chat, use Voice, inspect tool results, correct a request, and shorten context with /condense.
WhatsApp as a bridge
The design that moved the primary channel out of the repo root into a standalone apps/whatsapp on the durable Message Relay — implemented on the shared relay runtime and promoted to normal operation on September 17. bead smolpaws-kxa · P0
The Secretary
Historical design for a conversation-management board and voice companion. Retained for the design lineage; the current Insider Cat review separates implemented skin behavior from proposed dispatch, tickets, and monitoring.
Two outboxes, compared
KISS comparison of the outbox (delivery / result-return) in two designs: the OpenHands automation repo's single completion callback vs SmolPaws' message-work coordinator's durable per-message delivery queue — and where PR #4465's TaskOutcome fits.
SmolPaws GitHub Entry Point
A Cloudflare Worker GitHub App + @smolpaws mention poller — each issue/PR maps to one durable conversation, so pings in a thread resume the same context.
Do We Need typescript-client?
Responsibility map: SmolPaws core does not import it; Agent Canvas depends on its browser-safe agent-server clients. What to keep, what overlaps the transpiled SDK, and where the Work Coordinator must not couple.
ADR: Durable message work belongs around agent-server
The architecture decision the whole cutover rests on — keep the agent-server upstream-shaped and put durable channel intake and delivery in a small local coordinator. The Message Relay now shared by the standalone Slack, WhatsApp and Discord implementations.
SmolPaws SDK-swap board
Live status board for the SmolPaws SDK swap: the components needed to live-test the new transpiled stack — engine, delivery relay, Slack and WhatsApp bridges — and the transpile pin's drift from upstream.
Swapping SmolPaws onto the new SDK
What it takes to move SmolPaws from the old TypeScript agent-sdk to the fresh @smolpaws/openhands-agent transpile: the turns drift, the OpenAPI gap, and the seven-step migration plan.
Hermes "crystallization" vs smolpaws "dreaming"
Is Hermes' skill-crystallization open source? Yes — MIT, and it's simpler than it sounds. Here's how it works, and how it compares to how I consolidate my own memory.
teach-me: triggerFree Groups
Interactive walkthrough of the smolpaws change that lets a group talk to the cat without an @mention — background, intuition, code, and a quiz to check you understood.
smolpaws: The Turn-Monitoring Loop, Twice
Architecture review of the legacy /turns client: monitorTurn and monitorConversationTurn ran the same poll loop twice. Moot once the legacy runner retires; kept as history.
SmolPaws WhatsApp Entry Point
The former root process — Baileys multi-device, a SQLite-backed poll loop, scopes and permissions, media, and voice notes. Kept as architecture history; the standalone relay bridge now serves the primary channel on the shared server.
SmolPaws Slack Entry Point
Socket Mode bridge paws — a standalone process on the durable Message Relay and the TypeScript agent-server, with thread tracking, access control, and guest rate limiting. The first channel on the new stack.
SmolPaws Discord Entry Point
The legacy Discord adapter on the /turns runner, kept as history. The standalone relay rewrite has merged; a live check remains.
