Summary

• Add --allow-raw-content for live web traces and explicit HTML detail exports.
• Show narration, reasoning, tool arguments and output for root and subagent executions.
• Add previous/next turn navigation, tool-call navigation, and independent argument/output expansion.

Privacy

• Traces remain off by default; validate session, execution and turn ownership before reading.
• Keep raw content out of rollup caches, fleet summaries and the served page cache.
• Use owner-only trace exports, synthetic demo content and warnings for non-localhost access.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Web reports can display session and subagent turn traces, including tool-call details, when started with --allow-raw-content.
  • Static reports can include traces when raw content is enabled and --include-details or --details-dir is specified. These detail options may also include retained prompts.
• Privacy
  • Traces remain excluded from fleet summaries and caches; personal notes are not served in web reports.
  • Servers warn when raw traces are enabled on a non-localhost address. Demo traces use synthetic data.
• Documentation
  • Updated guides explain trace access, export requirements, and privacy boundaries.

Walkthrough

The web report adds an opt-in path for viewing raw turn traces, including execution turns. Static HTML trace exports require --include-details or --details-dir. Trace events remain excluded from rollup caches and fleet payloads.

Changes: Web Trace Access

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Raw-content access contract src/opentab/cli/main.py, README.md, AGENTS.md, docs/sources.md	The web command adds --allow-raw-content. Static HTML use of the flag requires --include-details or --details-dir. The documentation describes these access conditions.
Trace reads and live endpoint src/opentab/web/report.py, docs/architecture.md, docs/backends.md, docs/sessions.md, docs/tui.md, docs/web.md, tests/test_web.py	When enabled, session extras include trace metadata and execution-turn data. The server validates /api/trace requests and returns session- or execution-scoped events. Tests cover request validation, gating, unavailable sources, and error handling.
Static trace exports src/opentab/web/report.py, docs/privacy.md, docs/web.md, tests/test_web.py	HTML exports can embed trace events or write them to per-session detail files. Trace files use mode 0600, and trace detail directories use mode 0700. Tests cover export contents, permissions, and demo fixtures.
Browser trace navigation src/opentab/web/page.py, docs/web.md, tests/test_web.py	The browser displays trace events and supports turn and tool-call navigation, expansion controls, and history restoration. The UI handles canceled or stale requests and renders trace strings as text.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 1723c

With raw traces enabled, one unreadable turn can stop the entire HTML export and no report is written. Add per-turn error handling before merging. The live trace endpoint and the raw-content gating look sound.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat(web): add opt-in root and subagent turn traces" names the main change. The raw summary and PR objectives show the PR adds a gated --allow-raw-content option that exposes root and subagent turn traces in the web UI, the /api/trace endpoint, and HTML detail exports. The title is specific, concise, and uses a conventional commit prefix. It does not mention the security gating, but that detail is secondary to the primary change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 6.98% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 43 functions across 4 files. (9 skipped: 9 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the stale statement about web payloads.

Line 646 to Line 647 says real trace content is "absent from web payloads and fleet summaries". This PR makes that false: with --allow-raw-content, traces enter /api/trace responses, session extras, and HTML exports. The changed lines 577-579 of this file already describe the new gate. The old sentence now contradicts them. Line 524-526 has the same issue. It says "web views ... retain their root scope", but the web now has execution-scoped traces.

📝 Proposed wording

-out. Real trace content is unavailable in demo and absent from web payloads and
-fleet summaries. Explicit SSH reads in the TUI and gated CLI/MCP keyed reads do not
-change those export boundaries; see [Privacy](privacy.md).

- Around line 591-609: Update `_export_extras` to catch trace-read failures per
key and skip only the failed trace, so one unreadable trace does not abort HTML
export. Keep ambiguous keys fail-closed, and do not rely on duplicate root keys
as the primary failure case.
