Roll a list of row dicts up by group_by — the generic stats verb.

Reproduces session_stats (group_by ∈ agent/dir/date/ kind over a session inventory) and file_frequency (group_by="file" over a find_file_edits record stream) as a pure fold over already-materialized rows — no re-parsing. session_stats is now a thin preset over this verb (rank_by="stats" + kind_split).

Args: rows: The row dicts to fold (query output, find_file_edits records, or a session inventory). group_by: The bucket key — a row field name (agent / dir / date / kind / file / model — query rows carry the producing model where the format records one / …). Missing/empty values bucket under "(unknown)". metrics: Which numbers each bucket carries. One or more of count / sessions / edits / intents / agents / messages / files / tokens / component_tokens. Defaults to ["count"]. tokens (F3.3) folds per-row tokens blocks (the shape session_stats(with_tokens=True) rows carry, or a bare int total) into {input, output, reasoning, cache_read, cache_write, total, exact, estimated, unknown} — sums over rows that carry each field (null when none does) plus honest provenance counters (exact + estimated + unknown == len(rows)). component_tokens (F3.3) folds per-row component_tokens blocks (the shape :func:ai_r.tokens.component_tokens produces, as read_session(with_tokens=True) attaches) into summed event-taxonomy components (user_turn / assistant_turn / thinking / plan and a tool_call per-kind sub-dict) + total + provenance counters (estimated / unknown; never exact — always an estimate). A component/kind no row carried stays absent (never a fabricated 0). rank_by: Group ordering — "default" (edits→sessions→count→label, the file_frequency order) or "stats" (sessions→edits→label, the session_stats order). kind_split: When True, add the session_stats RISK-4 fields (kind_split_available + a degenerate-split note).

Returns: {"group_by", "groups": [...], "totals": {...}} (plus kind_split_available/note when kind_split) or the standard {"error": ..., "message": ...} dict on an unknown metric/rank_by.

Token-lean, budgeted session digest for auditors — the audit_brief preset.

One call answers "what happened in this session, verbatim where it matters", inside a hard character budget. A preset over the existing core, not a second engine (project preset rule): ONE query scan over the session's events supplies the user turns (VERBATIM — the auditor's ground truth) and the tool/file footprint (folded by aggregate(group_by="tool_kind") + the edit/write rows' existing file refs); the plan/plan_feedback projections supply the decision trail; :mod:ai_r.tokens (the same SSOT behind session_stats(with_tokens) / read_session(with_tokens)) supplies the token breakdown.

Deterministic budget algorithm: build the full digest, then tighten in a FIXED ladder until the serialized JSON fits budget_chars (default 15000; 0 = unlimited) — (1) drop tool-call error details, (2) drop the per-file edit list, (3) drop plan bodies + feedback quote/comment texts (counts/references always stay; bodies on-demand via get_body). User turns are NEVER truncated: if they alone exceed the budget the response carries budget.over_budget: true + a note naming the full projections — never a silently clipped ground truth.

session accepts the full uuid or a unique id prefix (e.g. the 8-hex head), resolved through the SAME id-prefix matching locate uses — the digest's session.uuid echoes the full resolved id; an ambiguous prefix is invalid_argument naming the candidates (capped), zero matches is not_found with closest-title suggestions. agent is an optional hint (None = the id resolves across every parser, like read_session). redact=true (default) masks secrets in the emitted title / user texts / plan bodies / feedback pairs. The response is section-structured (session / user_turns / plans / tools / files / tokens / component_tokens / budget); the CLI mirror is ai-r audit-brief <uuid> (markdown, --json for this dict).

Thin wrapper over :func:ai_r.audit_brief.audit_brief: a ValueError becomes {"error": "invalid_argument"}, an unknown session id {"error": "not_found"}.

Return the current runtime identity (session + agent) from env/fs.

NOT a session-query — this reads the runtime environment (env vars + per-session flag files), reusing the exact cascade behind the ai-r detect-agent / ai-r detect-session CLI subcommands.

Args: agent: Optional hint (accepted for symmetry with the CLI's deprecated --agent flag); the cascade scans all agents.

Returns: {"session_id", "agent", "model", "resume_command", "candidates": [...], "verified", "self"} where session_id / agent describe the highest-priority candidate, model is the current session's model — the LAST assistant model recorded in its transcript (null when identity is incomplete or the format records no model signal — never guessed) — resume_command is the ready-to-run shell one-liner that reopens the detected session in its agent's CLI (F2.2, text only, never executed; null when no real command exists) — and candidates is the full cascade for disambiguation. Returns {"error": ..., "message": ...} on an unknown agent hint.

Stitch edit rows into a per-file chronological diff — the diff verb.

Reproduces the synthesis of session_diff: given the edit events of a session (query(type="tool_call(edit)", session=…) — plus write / shell-redirect events), group them per file in chronological order and render a stitched, readable diff. Bodies are fetched on demand (via each event's stored message_index), never inlined on the row.

Args: rows: Edit-event dicts (query output). Each must carry an id and a refs list with a file entry; unresolvable rows skip. per_file: Group by file (the only mode today). format: "unified" (the only rendering today). redact: When True (default) secrets in the stitched output are masked as [REDACTED_<TYPE>] and the result carries a redactions type→count dict when any replacement happened; False returns raw content.

Returns: {"files": [{"file", "edits", "diff", "hunks"}], "count", "caveats"} (same shape + caveats as session_diff, size-bounded the same way: capped fields named in the per-file truncated_fields, byte budget → output_truncated) or the standard {"error": ..., "message": ...} dict on an unsupported format.

Find every file edit across sessions, cross-agent by default.

redact=True (default) masks secrets in emitted record fields as [REDACTED_<TYPE>] and adds a redactions type→count dict when any replacement happened; redact=False returns raw content.

Reference-by-default: to keep an audit listing small, each record does not inline the full edit body. Instead it carries a light-weight reference — input_sha256 (hash of the body) and input_chars (its length) — so you can see a body exists and how big it is. Fetch the body on demand with get_body / read_session (keyed by session_uuid

• message_index). Pass include_input=True to inline the full body under input instead.

Size-bounded output: over-long intent / assistant fields are cut with a …[truncated] marker (named in the per-record truncated_fields) and emission stops at a total byte budget (output_truncated — distinct from the count-based truncated).

Default time window: a call with NO narrowing filter at all (no agent / since / until) is scoped to the last 7 days instead of the whole corpus; the response then carries default_since (the applied bound) plus a note saying so. Any explicit scope disables the default — pass e.g. since="1970-01-01" to deliberately scan the full history.

Thin wrapper over :func:ai_r.find_file_edits.find_file_edits that translates the core ValueError contract into the {"error": "invalid_argument", "message": str(exc)} shape the MCP client expects.

Find every tool call across sessions, cross-agent by default.

redact=True (default) masks secrets in emitted record fields as [REDACTED_<TYPE>] and adds a redactions type→count dict when any replacement happened; redact=False returns raw content. Filters always match the RAW, pre-redaction text.

session scopes the scan to a single session uuid (or a list of uuids) — same semantics as the query facet. None = every session; a wide since/until with NO session therefore surfaces calls from unrelated sessions, so pin it when auditing one conversation.

Exactly one of tool_name (exact, case-insensitive) or tool_name_pattern (substring, case-insensitive) must be set.

Optional filters combine with AND: input_contains / output_contains (case-insensitive substring on the full, pre-cap input/output), output_excludes (drop records whose output contains it) and is_error (tri-state: None all, True failures only, False successes only). output_mode selects output truncation — "head"/"tail"/"smart"; None is adaptive ("smart" on errors, "head" otherwise). Each record also carries is_error_reliable (True only for Claude/OpenCode) plus the wrapper-aware classification: tool_kind (edit/write/read/bash/task/skill/mcp/ web/other) and tool_resolved — the real name under a Skill/Task/MCP wrapper (subagent type, skill name, or "<server>:<tool>"); None when there is no wrapper or the input carries no name signal.

A record whose call has a correlated result also carries tool_use_id — the join key back to a spawned subagent's own session (the child stores it as extra.spawn_tool_use_id). On a spawn (tool_kind="task") it additionally carries subagent: what the child COST — model (the model it actually resolved to, which may be a cheaper pinned tier than the parent's), agent_type (persona), tokens (EXACT billed usage, source="exact", full token-block shape), status, duration_ms, tool_uses. Honest gaps: a background spawn (status="async_launched", sidecar written before the run exists) reports its model with no tokens key — never a fabricated zero; its real cost and persona come from read_session(include_subagents=True) → subagent_rollup.children. A record carrying several tool results drops the sidecar rather than billing it to the wrong subagent.

with_subagent_cost=True (opt-in) recovers exactly that for the spawn records here: each subagent sidecar is JOINED to the spawned child's own files, adding the persona (agent_type) from the child's agent-*.meta.json, the models it ran on, its EXACT billed tokens (source="exact", an estimate is never merged into the billing field) and child_uuid. So a background spawn — anonymous and price-less in the launch-time sidecar — becomes a named, priced row. The child is preferred over the sidecar, which stays the fallback for a child that cannot be joined (not yet on disk, meta corrupt): its tokens are then left absent, never zeroed. Default False reads no per-spawn child file (a cross-corpus scan does not pay the join).

Thin wrapper over :func:ai_r.find_tool_calls.find_tool_calls that translates the core ValueError contract into the {"error": "invalid_argument", "message": str(exc)} shape the MCP client expects.

Return the on-demand body for an event / plan id.

For a plan_event id: the full plan text and/or Codex steps (bodies are deliberately kept off the event stream so callers pay for them only when needed). For a user_turn / assistant_turn id: the turn text.

shallow=True (plans only) returns just the final plan of the id's task, dropping the bodies of superseded draft revisions — the S6 case where a subagent receives one plan without the draft noise (dropped_drafts lists the ids that were elided).

max_chars bounds the returned body/text (default 500_000, generous enough that ordinary bodies are never cut; pass 0 to disable). When it trips, the field is sliced with a …[truncated] marker and body_truncated: true is set.

redact=True (default) masks secrets in the emitted text/body/title/steps as [REDACTED_<TYPE>] and adds a redactions type→count dict when any replacement happened; redact=False returns the raw content.

include_thinking=True (turn ids only): attach the model's reasoning (message.thinking) as a separate thinking field on the returned body, re-read from the hosting message. Default False leaves the body byte-identical to the historical shape (no thinking key). Fail-soft: a turn without reasoning never carries the key.

Returns the body dict, or {"error": ..., "message": ...} on a bad id.

Dangerous shell commands + regret reactions — the incidents preset.

One call answers "where did an agent run something destructive — and did it then apologise?". A preset over the existing core, not a second engine: ONE query scan (type="tool_call", tool_kind="bash") supplies the candidates, a deterministic danger dictionary (harvested from public agent-guardrail rule sets, calibrated on real history) selects the dangerous commands, and a bilingual (ru + en) regret dictionary scans the next reaction_window messages (default 6) for an apology/rollback reaction — the two-step check behind the confirmed flag. Zero LLM, zero guessing: no dictionary hit → no incident; no reaction → confirmed: false, never inferred.

Filters (all parameters): agent, session (uuid or list of uuids), since/until (ISO bounds on the call ts), category (fs/git/db/net — unknown values fail loud), confirmed (include default | only | exclude), noise and project_dir (session-level, same semantics as query).

Each incident record carries the query event id (walk its context via query(relative_to=...) / read_session), the matched patterns + categories, a char-capped command fragment centred on the hit (token budget — full context stays on-demand), is_error (null when the agent's format has no correlated outcome signal — honest, cross-agent), confirmed and reaction (message_index/offset/role/marker labels/capped preview; null when unconfirmed). count/confirmed_count/ by_pattern always reflect the FULL match set; limit (default 50, 0 = no cap) bounds only the emitted records (truncated).

Dictionary caveat (documented, not hidden): patterns are a deterministic dictionary, not a shell interpreter — a command that merely mentions a dangerous string (e.g. echo "rm -rf /") can still match. Matching runs on the extracted command field (a Bash description alone never fires) and always on the RAW stored text; redact=true (default) masks secrets only in the emitted session_title/command/reaction.preview fields (redactions type→count dict when anything was masked). When count == 0 the response carries diagnostics so an empty result is explainable (missing source dir vs all-excluding filter vs a genuinely clean history).

Thin wrapper over :func:ai_r.incidents.incidents that translates the core ValueError contract into the {"error": "invalid_argument", "message": str(exc)} shape the MCP client expects.

List discoverable sessions, optionally filtered by agent.

Results are sorted by date (newest first) and paginated with limit/offset so the payload stays small. The default limit guards against dumping an unbounded number of sessions.

Each summary carries kind ("agent" for a top-level session, "subagent" for a spawned subagent/sidechain) and parent_uuid (the parent session's uuid for subagents, else None). Subagent detection covers Claude, OpenCode, Codex and Pi; Antigravity's format has no parent signal, so it always reports kind="agent".

Each summary also carries the F1.4 origin fields, None when the source format has no signal (never fabricated):

• project_dir — the project directory the session ran in (Claude: transcript cwd / Desktop metadata / verified slug decode; Codex: session_meta.cwd; OpenCode: session.directory; Pi: header cwd; Antigravity: no signal).

• launch_surface — where the session was driven from (Claude: "claude-cli" | "claude-desktop"; Codex: the raw originator, e.g. "codex_vscode"; Antigravity: "antigravity-ide" | "antigravity-cli"; OpenCode/Pi: no signal).

Each summary also carries models — the unique model ids observed in the session, in order of first appearance (Claude: assistant message.model; Codex: turn_context.model; OpenCode: message.data.modelID; Pi: assistant message.model; Antigravity records no model signal). [] when the format carries no signal — honest absence, never fabricated.

Each summary also carries the A3 recency signal, measured against a single wall-clock now sampled once for the whole call:

• last_activity — the last-activity timestamp as an explicit ISO string (same instant as date; date is kept for backward compatibility);

• age_sec — whole seconds since last_activity (clamped at 0 when a future timestamp implies writer/reader clock skew);

• activity — "fresh" if age_sec is at or under the AI_R_STALL_SEC threshold (default 600 s = 10 min), "stale" if past it.

Honest contract (F1.1): activity describes only the recency of the last written record. It is not a claim about process liveness — a session file cannot show whether its producer is still running. "Running but silent" vs. "crashed" is a consumer-side inference (correlate activity == "stale" with an OS pid-alive check); ai-r does not fabricate it.

Args: agent: One of claude, codex, opencode, antigravity, pi. When omitted, every supported agent is queried. limit: Max sessions in this page. 0 means no cap (use with care: may return a very large payload). Defaults to 100. offset: Zero-based index of the first session to return. Use with limit to page through total. kind: Optional filter. "agent" returns only top-level sessions, "subagent" returns only subagent sessions. When omitted (default), both kinds are returned. noise: Noise filter — a session is noise when it is a spawned subagent (kind == "subagent" or parent_uuid set). "include" (default) returns everything, "exclude" drops noise sessions, "only" returns only noise sessions. kind and noise compose (AND). project_dir: Keep only sessions whose project_dir equals this path or is a descendant of it (path-boundary aware: /a/b matches /a/b and /a/b/sub, never /a/bc); trailing slashes ignored. Sessions without a project_dir signal never match. Composes with the other filters (AND). redact: When True (default) secrets in emitted title / extra values are masked as [REDACTED_<TYPE>] and the response carries a redactions type→count dict when any replacement happened; False returns raw titles.

Returns: {"sessions": [...], "total": int, "offset": int, "limit": int, "truncated": bool}. total is the full count matching the agent (and kind/noise) filter; truncated is True when more sessions remain beyond this page. When total == 0 the dict additionally carries diagnostics (scanned agents + session counts, source-dir presence, cause hints) so an empty inventory is explainable.

Find a session across all agents by uuid / id-prefix / title — locate.

One call answers "I remember a session — where does it live and how do I read it?". needle is a full uuid, an id prefix (e.g. the 8-hex head), or a case-insensitive title substring. A thin preset over the existing per-parser inventory (the same list_sessions walk — zero new scanning code) with a deterministic algorithm inside: prefix-match on uuid/path-stem OR substring-match on title, ranked by last activity (mtime) descending. Each match carries where it lives (path / agent / project_dir / date / size_bytes), the honest local-content claim readable (false for a reference-only stub whose transcript is not on this machine), and the ready-to-run commands: read_command (ai-r read <uuid> --agent <agent>) + resume_command (F2.2 — text only, never executed).

limit bounds the emitted list (0 = no cap; count keeps the full total, truncated flags the cut). Zero matches → an honest empty with closest-title suggestions + diagnostics — never a fabricated match.

web=true (v1, honest scope) adds web sessions KNOWN LOCALLY only: materialized hook-export files ($SW_HOME/web-sessions, default ~/.session-watch/web-sessions) and ~/.claude.json → projects[*].lastSessionId teleport stubs (id known, transcript NOT local — content_local: false). The fuller per-repo teleport-picker sweep needs a PTY and is a documented follow-up, not guessed here.

Thin wrapper over :func:ai_r.locate.locate (ValueError → {"error": "invalid_argument"}).

Network-egress audit — the network preset (F4.3).

One call answers "where did an agent reach out to the network — and how risky did those requests look?". A preset over the existing core, not a second engine: ONE query scan (type="tool_call", tool_kind="web") supplies the candidates — Claude WebFetch/WebSearch, OpenCode webfetch, Codex web_search (surfaced from web_search_call rollout records), Gemini/Antigravity web_fetch/google_web_search; Pi records no web tool (honest absence). The request target (url/query) is extracted from each call's own input and assessed with a deterministic risk dictionary: plain_http, credentials_in_url, secret_in_url / secret_in_query (the redaction patterns double as the detector), ip_literal_host, private_or_local_host, punycode_host. Zero LLM, zero guessing: no extractable target → honest null fields; a risk fires only on parse/regex evidence.

Filters (all parameters): agent, session (uuid or list of uuids), since/until (ISO bounds on the call ts), kind (fetch|search — derived from the extracted fields, unknown values fail loud), risk (include default | only | exclude), domain (host equals-or-subdomain match), noise and project_dir (session-level, same semantics as query).

Each request record carries the query event id (walk its context via query(relative_to=...) / read_session), the derived kind, char-capped url/query (token budget — full context stays on-demand), domain, the risks labels and tri-state is_error (null when the agent's format has no correlated outcome signal — honest, cross-agent). count/risky_count/ by_domain/by_risk always reflect the FULL match set; limit (default 50, 0 = no cap) bounds only the emitted records (truncated).

Honesty caveats (documented, not hidden): risk labels are a deterministic dictionary, not a threat oracle; MCP-mediated network access (browser-automation servers etc.) stays under tool_kind="mcp" — a name alone cannot prove an MCP server touches the network, so it is never guessed into this audit. Risk assessment runs on the RAW stored strings; redact=true (default) masks secrets only in the emitted url/query/session_title fields (redactions type→count dict when anything was masked). When count == 0 the response carries diagnostics so an empty result is explainable.

Thin wrapper over :func:ai_r.network.network that translates the core ValueError contract into the {"error": "invalid_argument", "message": str(exc)} shape the MCP client expects.

Normalized plan atoms for a session — final vs drafts, grouped by task.

Wraps query(type="plan_event", …) and normalizes every agent's plan signal (Claude ExitPlanMode / Write plans/*.md, Codex update_plan, Antigravity implementation_plan.md) into a single :class:~ai_r.events.Plan shape — the per-agent signal is an internal detail, never surfaced.

Plans are grouped by task keyed on each plan's task_key — the plan-file slug when the agent has one (Claude plans/<slug>.md, Antigravity implementation_plan.md path), falling back to the normalized title only when no plan file exists (Codex update_plan). Within a task the latest plan is final and earlier revisions are draft; plans of earlier completed tasks are completed_major.

F3.4 default schema (measured ≈×3.7 cheaper than "everything inlined"): the final plan's full text is inlined (body + body_source — "approval_edited_by_user" when the user's approval carried an edited plan, which is the AUTHORITATIVE text and overrides the signal/file body, else "plan_signal"); drafts stay references (bodies via get_body); every «plan quote → user comment» pair extracted from the user's plan responses is returned under feedback, each with a ref ("<session>:pf<N>") that get_body resolves to the FULL raw response. Only agents with an interactive plan-approval flow have the feedback signal (today: Claude — an ExitPlanMode verdict or a rejected plan-file Write); others honestly contribute nothing. Technical failures and bare no-comment rejections are filtered out.

F3.4 v2 additions: every plan atom carries version — its 1-based revision number within the task group, chronological (drafts are v1…vN-1, the final is vN); every feedback pair carries plan_version (the answered revision's number), round (1-based feedback-round number within the session — one round per user response that produced pairs) and section — the heading of the plan section the quote anchors to. Quotes are selected from the RENDERED plan, so the anchor match strips markdown markup from both sides; a quote that matches no section — or more than one — gets an honest null anchor, never a nearest guess.

Args: session: Restrict to one session uuid (recommended). kind: Optional filter — draft | final | completed_major. group: Grouping strategy; only "task" is supported. agent: Optional agent filter (claude/codex/opencode/antigravity/pi). redact: When True (default) secrets in the emitted plan/feedback fields (title/steps/body/quote/comment…) are masked as [REDACTED_<TYPE>] and the response carries a redactions type→count dict when any replacement happened; False returns raw content. bodies: "final" (default) inlines the final plan's full text; "none" returns reference-only atoms. feedback: True (default) adds the feedback pair list + feedback_count; False omits both (historical shape). rounds: "all" (default) returns every feedback round; "last" keeps only each session's final round (v2). Any other value fails loud.

Returns: {"plans": [...], "count": N, "feedback": [...], "feedback_count": M} — each plan carries id/session_id/agent/title/task_id/kind/version/path/steps/status/ refs/sha256 (+ body/body_source on the final when bodies="final"); each feedback pair carries session_id/agent/plan_id/plan_version/verdict/round/quote/comment/ section/ref/ts (verdict ∈ rejected | stay_in_plan_mode; quote is null for a free-text comment; plan_version/ section are null without a signal). Draft bodies and raw responses stay on-demand via :func:get_body. Standard {"error": ..., "message": ...} dict on invalid arguments.

Filter/search the unified session event stream — the workhorse verb.

Every parser's messages + tool calls are normalized into one flat, agent-neutral event stream (user_turn / assistant_turn / tool_call(<sub>) / plan_event); this tool filters that stream by facets — all behaviour is parameters, never hard-wired variants.

Facets:

• type — user_turn | assistant_turn | tool_call | tool_call(edit|write|read|bash|other) | plan_event. Bare tool_call matches every subtype.

• agent — one of claude/codex/opencode/antigravity/pi (all if omitted).

• session — restrict to a single session uuid, OR a list of uuids (the union of those sessions' events in one call — e.g. the ids picked from a search_sessions / list_sessions result). Duplicates collapse; an unknown uuid contributes nothing. An empty list or a non-string item is a fail-loud invalid_argument — never a silent unfiltered scan.

• since / until — ISO-8601 bounds (inclusive) on the event ts.

• file — substring matched against an event's referenced file path.

• tool — substring (pattern) matched against the referenced tool name OR the resolved name under a wrapper (tool_resolved) — so tool="commit" also finds the Skill call that ran the commit skill.

• tool_kind — exact match against the wrapper-aware classification of a tool call: edit / write / read / bash / task (subagent spawn) / skill / mcp / web / other. Every tool_call event carries tool_kind (in refs and as a top-level field); wrappers whose input names the real actor also carry tool_resolved — the subagent type under Task/Agent/ spawn_agent, the skill name under Skill/SlashCommand, or "<server>:<tool>" for a Claude-style mcp__<server>__<tool> call. No signal → no tool_resolved (never guessed). An unknown tool_kind value is a fail-loud invalid_argument.

• model — exact, case-insensitive match against the model that produced the event's message: an assistant_turn / tool_call / plan_event inherits the model of the assistant message behind it and carries it as a top-level model field (absent without a signal — user turns, Antigravity — so aggregate(group_by="model") buckets those under "(unknown)"). Model ids are agent-defined strings (no fixed vocabulary); events without a signal never match; an empty string is a fail-loud invalid_argument.

• user_ref — filter user_turn events by the entity the user referenced. A string with special values: "any" matches every user turn that referenced some target; a bare kind (e.g. "file" / "session") matches turns referencing that kind of target; any other string is a substring matched against the referenced target. Non-user events never match, so combining user_ref with a non-user_turn type yields an honest empty result.

• has_thinking — filter by whether the event's message carried model reasoning (Event.has_thinking). True keeps only events with reasoning, False only those without; unset (None, default) does not filter. Note the reasoning text itself is never inlined — this only gates on its presence (fetch it with get_body(id, include_thinking=True)).

• text — substring matched against event text. With sort="relevance" survivors are BM25-ranked using the same scorer as search_sessions; sort="semantic" (F5.1, optional ai-r[semantic]) re-ranks the BM25 top-50 candidates by meaning with a local multilingual embedding model (cross-lingual ru↔en, synonyms) — the response carries a semantic dict reporting either the active ranking (active: true, model, candidate count, blend weight) or the honest degradation (active: false + plain-words reason + fallback: "bm25" — the order is then plain BM25, never a crash); sort="date" (default) orders by timestamp ascending.

• relative_to (event id) + direction (prev|next) + n (a positive integer, default 1, or "all") — the neighbouring-turn walk. A numeric string ("3") is deprecated and will be rejected in 0.6.0 — pass an int or "all". Generalises the previous_user_intent used by find_file_edits to both directions and any count. step_type chooses which event type to collect (default user_turn). When relative_to is set, other filter facets are ignored.

with_intent=True attaches a top-level intent (the request behind the event, via the same previous_user_intent walk-back the legacy tools use) to every returned event. Default False keeps the base event shape unchanged.

noise filters at the session level before events are read — a session is noise when it is a spawned subagent (kind == "subagent" or parent_uuid set): "include" (default, no filtering), "exclude" (top-level sessions only), "only" (subagent sessions only). Ignored on the relative_to walk, like every other filter facet.

project_dir also filters at the session level: keep only events of sessions whose project_dir equals this path or is a descendant of it (path-boundary aware, trailing slashes ignored) — "events of this project". Sessions without a project_dir signal never match. Ignored on the relative_to walk, like every other filter facet.

parent also filters at the session level: keep only events of sessions that are a descendant (transitively, any depth) of this session uuid in the subagent parent_uuid tree — the whole spawned subtree below parent (direct children plus nested). parent itself is excluded (its own events are reachable via session=<parent>). An unknown uuid matches nothing (honest empty result). Ignored on the relative_to walk, like every other filter facet.

group filters at the event level, plan_events only: keep only the plan_events whose task_id (the plan-task grouping key — plan-file slug or normalized title) equals this value. Non-plan events never match when group is set, so combining group with a non-plan type yields an honest empty result.

redact=True (default) masks secrets in the emitted text / intent fields as [REDACTED_<TYPE>] and adds a top-level redactions type→count dict when any replacement happened; redact=False returns raw content. Redaction is emission-time only: the text facet (and every other filter) matches the RAW stored text.

Events are reference-by-default: each emitted event's text is a preview cut to ~160 chars (applied after redaction). A real cut is marked with a trailing … and text_truncated: true (absent when nothing was cut). id/refs/sha256 are untouched — fetch the full body on demand with get_body(id).

kind was removed — it duplicated noise (noise="only" for subagents, noise="exclude" for top-level). It is kept in the signature only as a fail-loud tombstone: passing any value returns an invalid_argument error pointing at noise rather than silently ignoring it (the MCP transport would otherwise drop an unknown argument and return an unfiltered result — a silent wrong answer).

Returns {"events": [...], "count": N} or the standard {"error": ..., "message": ...} dict on invalid arguments. When count == 0 the dict additionally carries diagnostics (scanned agents + session counts, corpus date bounds, cause hints) so an empty result is explainable.

User quotes of prior in-session content — the quotes preset.

One call answers "where did the user quote something the agent said, and what did they say about it?". When a user selects a chunk of a prior message and comments on it (the "attach selection as context" flow), the quoted text is embedded VERBATIM in their turn — no agent records it as a structured field — so it is recovered by matching the user turn against the text before it. A preset over the existing core, not a second engine: query scans supply user turns + assistant turns, the reviewed text is normalized (_normalize_rendered_text, reused from the plan-feedback anchorer) and :func:difflib.SequenceMatcher finds the longest verbatim run; a run below the minimum is not a quote (honest null), and text pasted from OUTSIDE the session matches nothing (never fabricated).

This is the cross-agent, chat-wide generalization of plan(feedback) (which surfaces «plan quote → user comment» only for Claude's plan-approval flow): quotes surfaces «any prior message quote → user comment» for every agent, operating on the normalized event stream, not client markup.

Filters (all parameters): agent, session (uuid or list), since/until (ISO bounds on the user turn's ts), source_kind (currently assistant — a user quoting the agent's prose; unknown values fail loud), noise and project_dir (session-level, same as query).

Each record carries the user_turn event id (context on-demand via query(relative_to=...)), source_id (the quoted assistant turn), source_kind, quote_chars, and the char-capped quote + comment (the user's turn with the quote elided). count/by_source_kind reflect the FULL matched set; limit (default 50, 0 = no cap) bounds only the emitted records (truncated).

Caveat (documented): v1 sources are assistant prose (the common case — quoting a tool's raw output is a future extension); the emitted quote/comment come from the NORMALIZED text (markdown stripped), so they are readable but not byte-identical to the raw turn (raw bodies stay reachable via the event ids). redact=true (default) masks secrets only in the emitted session_title/quote/comment. When count == 0 the response carries diagnostics so an empty result is explainable.

Thin wrapper over :func:ai_r.quotes.quotes that translates the core ValueError contract into the {"error": "invalid_argument", "message": str(exc)} shape the MCP client expects.

Read a single session by uuid; agent is an optional hint.

Args: uuid: Session identifier. agent: One of claude, codex, opencode, antigravity, pi. Optional: when omitted, the uuid is looked up across every parser (session ids are unique across agents in practice). If — rarely — the same id exists under several agents, a candidates list is returned (not an error) so the caller can re-ask with an explicit agent. offset: Zero-based index of the first message to return (applied to the projected {role, content} list). limit: Maximum number of messages to return. Defaults to :data:_MESSAGES_CAP (100). A non-positive value means "no upper bound". redact: When True (default) secrets in the emitted title, message content/intent/qa are masked as [REDACTED_<TYPE>] and the response carries a redactions type→count dict when any replacement happened (see ai_r.redact); False returns the raw content. with_tokens: When True (F3.3) attach token usage read at request time (nothing runs in the background):

    * ``summary["tokens"]`` — the session's flat
      :func:`ai_r.tokens.session_tokens` block (exact where the agent
      records usage, a labeled estimate otherwise, honest
      ``source=None`` without any signal);
    * ``summary["component_tokens"]`` — the
      :func:`ai_r.tokens.component_tokens` breakdown: the transcript's
      estimated token volume split across ai-r's event taxonomy
      (``user_turn`` / ``assistant_turn`` / ``thinking`` / ``plan``
      and a ``tool_call`` per-``tool_kind`` sub-dict), always
      ``source="estimate"`` (never merged with the exact tier),
      ``None`` on an empty transcript;
    * per-message ``tokens`` on projected entries that carry exact
      usage — Claude (deduplicated per streamed API call), OpenCode
      and Pi.  Codex / Antigravity / user turns carry **no**
      ``tokens`` key at all (absent, not ``null``).  The dedup/attach
      is decided on absolute message positions BEFORE pagination, so
      page boundaries never shift which record is "first" for a call.

    Default ``False``: output is byte-identical to the historical
    shape (no ``tokens`` / ``component_tokens`` key on the summary or
    any message).  The token blocks carry only integers and
    ai-r-authored labels (never raw session text), so they stay
    outside the F2.1 redaction pass by construction.
include_subagents: When ``True`` attach
    ``summary["subagent_rollup"]`` — the parent session's
    ``component_tokens`` block plus one per spawned subagent child
    (resolved via :func:`ai_r.session_stats.children_of` on
    ``parent_uuid``) and a ``total`` folding parent + children through
    the ``aggregate`` ``component_tokens`` metric.  Each child entry
    carries ``uuid`` / ``agent`` / ``component_tokens`` (the estimate)
    plus **what it actually cost**: ``tokens`` read from the child's own
    transcript on the honest three-tier ``source`` ladder — billed
    ``"exact"`` where the child's transcript records usage, a labeled
    ``"estimate"`` where it does not (a truncated / reference-only run),
    ``source=None`` without any signal (never a fabricated zero) —
    ``models`` (the model(s) it ran on — a persona pinned to a cheaper
    tier shows up here), ``subagent_type`` (its persona, from the
    child's own spawn metadata, falling back to the spawning call's
    sidecar) and ``status`` where the spawn recorded one
    (``"async_launched"`` for a background spawn).  A childless parent
    (or an agent like Antigravity that never records ``parent_uuid``)
    yields an empty ``children`` list and a ``total`` equal to the
    parent's own block — honest, not an error.  Independent of
    ``with_tokens``.  Default ``False``.
include_thinking: When ``True`` attach the model's reasoning
    (``message.thinking``) as a separate ``thinking`` string field on
    each projected message that carried it — kept OUT of ``content``
    so the historical text projection is unchanged.  Default
    ``False``: output is byte-identical to the historical shape (no
    ``thinking`` key on any message).  Reasoning is opt-in to save the
    caller's budget; ``Event.has_thinking`` / the presence of the key
    signals which messages have it.  Fail-soft: a message without
    reasoning never carries the key.

Returns: A dict with session metadata plus:

* ``messages`` — the projected ``{role, content}`` list, sliced
  to ``[offset:offset+limit]``.
* ``total`` — the full uncapped projected message count (the
  length the slice was taken from).
* ``offset`` / ``limit`` — the pagination echo values actually
  used.
* ``messages_truncated`` — True when the MCP hard cap stopped
  extraction before every projected message could be returned.
* ``outcome`` — session outcome classification (F2.3):
  ``{status: success|failure|mixed|unknown, signals, user_verdict,
  markers, tool_results, tool_errors, error_rate,
  error_rate_reliable}``.  ``status`` combines the tool-call
  error rate (real flag only for Claude/OpenCode —
  ``None`` elsewhere, never guessed) with a calibrated bilingual
  success/failure dictionary over the tail user turns;
  ``"unknown"`` when neither signal exists (SSOT
  :mod:`ai_r.outcome`).

On an id collision (agent omitted, several agents own the id):
``{"ambiguous": True, "uuid": ..., "candidates": [...],
"count": N, "message": ...}`` where each candidate is a session
summary carrying its ``agent``.

On a missing session, returns an ``error`` dict instead of
raising (``agents_scanned`` lists the parsers probed when the
agent was omitted).

Case-insensitive search across sessions.

Args: query: Search string. Supports: * Bare words: pwa manifest (AND default) * Quoted phrases: "exact phrase" * Negative prefix: -claude (Google-style, always excluded) agent: Optional agent filter (claude/codex/opencode/antigravity/pi). scope: Where to look. * "title" — only session.title (default, backward-compat) * "body" — message text + tool_use[*].input + tool_result[*].content * "all" — title OR body operator: How to combine positive terms. * "AND" — all positive terms must appear (default) * "OR" — at least one positive term must appear * "NOT" — no term (positive or negative) may appear Negative -term prefixes are always excluded regardless of operator. limit: Maximum number of results. 0 or negative = no limit. Applied after sorting, so it keeps the top-ranked matches. sort: Result ordering. * "relevance" — BM25 relevance over the matched text (default). Pure-stdlib scoring; ties keep newest-first. * "date" — newest-first by session date (the historical pre-ranking order). * "semantic" — F5.1 (optional ai-r[semantic]): the BM25 top-50 candidates re-ranked by meaning with a local multilingual embedding model (cross-lingual ru↔en, synonyms); the response carries a semantic dict — either the active ranking (active: true, model, candidate count, blend weight) or the honest degradation notice (active: false + plain-words reason + fallback: "bm25", order stays BM25 — never a crash). noise: Noise filter — a session is noise when it is a spawned subagent (kind == "subagent" or parent_uuid set). * "include" — no filtering (default). * "exclude" — search only top-level agent sessions. * "only" — search only subagent sessions. Applied before matching, so excluded sessions never pay the body-scan cost. redact: When True (default) secrets in the emitted title / snippet / extra fields are masked as [REDACTED_<TYPE>] and the response carries a redactions type→count dict when any replacement happened; False returns raw content. Matching always runs on the RAW stored text, so searching for a literal secret still finds its session — only the displayed snippet is masked. include_thinking: When True fold model reasoning (message.thinking) into the body/all search haystack so a search matches text that lives only in the model's thoughts. Default False: reasoning is excluded from matching to save the caller's budget (turn it on only when a query must reach into reasoning). No effect on scope="title". The two modes are cached under separate keys, so toggling never serves a stale haystack of the other mode.

Returns: A dict {"results": [...], "count": N} where results is the list of session summaries and count is their total. When scope is "body" or "all" and a match is found, each summary includes a "snippet" field with the first matching message excerpt (up to 200 chars) and may carry body_truncated. When a scan matches nothing (count == 0), the dict additionally carries diagnostics (scanned agents + session counts, corpus date bounds, cause hints) so an empty result is explainable. With sort="semantic" the dict also carries a semantic report (active ranking vs BM25 fallback + reason).

Errors are returned as a top-level {"error": ..., "message": ...} dict (matches the existing convention).

Reconstruct what the agent changed in one session — without git.

Stitches the session's own edit records (Edit/MultiEdit old_string→new_string, Write content, codex shell-exec redirections) into a per-file, chronological diff. Returns {"files": [...], "count": N, "caveats": [...]}; each file carries its ordered edits (timestamp + intent + hunks) and a stitched, readable diff.

caveats always carries two honest blind spots: (1) this is a diff of the agent's actions, not the git outcome — manual edits / partial commits / merges are invisible; (2) RISK-3 — inherits the find_file_edits shell-redirect gap (tee / sed -i / cp / mv / heredoc writes are not detected and are silently skipped).

redact=True (default) masks secrets in the emitted diff/hunks/ intents as [REDACTED_<TYPE>] and adds a redactions type→count dict when any replacement happened; redact=False returns raw.

Size-bounded output (mirrors find_file_edits): over-long intent / hunk bodies / per-file diff text are cut with a …[truncated] marker and named in the per-file truncated_fields (indexed paths), and whole-file emission stops at a total byte budget (output_truncated; count keeps the true total). The full edit body stays reachable on demand via get_body / read_session.

Summarise sessions, grouped and ranked — the bird's-eye audit view.

Where find_file_edits / find_tool_calls return flat record streams, this rolls the sessions themselves up by one dimension so you can see how the work is distributed in a single call.

group_by is one of:

• "agent" (default) — claude vs codex vs opencode vs ...

• "dir" — by working directory / project (the normalized project_dir first — one real directory = one bucket across agents — then cwd for codex/pi / project slug for claude; "(unknown)" for agents without any signal).

• "date" — by calendar day (YYYY-MM-DD).

• "kind" — top-level agent sessions vs spawned subagent sessions.

• "model" — by the model that produced the session. A session that mixed models buckets as "(mixed)" rather than being attributed to one of them; one whose transcript records no model is "(unknown)". Neither is guessed. Pair with with_tokens=True to see what each model actually cost.

Each group carries its session count plus enrichment from the shared find_file_edits core: edits (file edits attributed to the group's sessions), intents (distinct requests behind those edits), the distinct agents in the group, and total messages.

RISK-4 note: subagent detection is currently Claude-only. When no subagent sessions are in scope, a group_by="kind" result shows a single agent bucket — so the result always carries kind_split_available (False here) plus a note making clear that this is NOT a verified "no subagents", just an absent split.

with_tokens=True (F3.3) additionally reads every matched session's token usage at request time (nothing runs in the background) and adds a folded tokens block to each group and to totals: {input, output, reasoning, cache_read, cache_write, total, exact, estimated, unknown}. Per session the numbers are exact where the agent's own files record usage (Claude message.usage, Codex token_count, OpenCode message.data.tokens, Pi usage); a session without a recorded signal (e.g. Antigravity) gets a transcript-volume estimate — tokenized with the optional tiktoken dependency (pip install "ai-r[tokens]") when installed, else a rough chars/4 heuristic — and counts under estimated, never silently mixed in as exact; no signal at all counts under unknown. Sums that no session carried stay null (never a fabricated 0). The block contains only ai-r-computed integers and labels — no raw session text — so it is outside the redaction surface by construction. Default False: byte-identical historical output, no extra reads.

Scan guard (token_scan_limit): because with_tokens reads every matched session's files at request time, an unscoped run over a huge corpus is a multi-hour I/O storm. When with_tokens is set with no narrowing filter (agent/since/until) and more than token_scan_limit sessions match, the call returns {"error": "scope_required", ...} (naming the count and the limit) INSTEAD of scanning — the check runs on the cheap inventory count before any file is read. Narrow the scope, or raise token_scan_limit (0 disables the cap) to force the full scan. A permitted-but-large scan runs but carries a warning.
