# Fixes Deployed - Visual Hierarchy & Max-Retries Modal

**Deployment Date**: October 10, 2025  
**Version ID**: `37657c69-ca2a-4900-be50-570ea34ba452`  
**Live URL**: https://bandit-runner-app.nicholaivogelfilms.workers.dev

## Changes Deployed

### 1. Max-Retries Modal - Debug Logging Added ✅

**Problem**: Modal wasn't appearing when max retries were hit.

**Fix Applied**:
- Added comprehensive console logging throughout the event flow
- Fixed React hook dependency array (removed `onUserActionRequired` dependency)
- Added logging in Durable Object, WebSocket hook, and UI component

**How to Test**:
1. Start a run with GPT-4o Mini targeting Level 5
2. Wait for Level 1 to hit max retries (3 attempts)
3. Open browser console and look for these logs:
   - `🚨 DO: Emitting user_action_required event:` (from Durable Object)
   - `📣 Calling user action callback with:` (from WebSocket hook)
   - `🚨 USER ACTION REQUIRED received in UI:` (from terminal interface)
   - `✅ Modal state set to true` (confirms modal should show)
4. If logs appear but modal doesn't show, there's a rendering issue
5. If logs don't appear, the event isn't being emitted correctly

### 2. Terminal Panel Visual Hierarchy ✅

**Improvements**:
- **Commands** (`$ cat readme`): Cyan background with left border, semi-bold font
- **Output**: Indented (pl-6), slightly dimmed text
- **System messages** (`[TOOL]`): Purple background with left border
- **Error messages**: Red background with left border
- **Separators**: Subtle horizontal line before each command block
- **Typography**: Increased font size to 13px, better line height
- **Timestamps**: Smaller and dimmed for less visual weight

**Visual Changes**:
```
Before:
23:43:37 [TOOL] ssh_exec: ls
23:43:37 $ ls
23:43:37 readme

After:
23:43:37  [TOOL] ssh_exec: ls  ← Purple background, left border
───────────────────────────────  ← Separator
23:43:37  $ ls                   ← Cyan background, left border, bold
23:43:37      readme             ← Indented, plain text
```

### 3. Agent Panel Visual Hierarchy ✅

**Improvements**:
- **Message Blocks**: Each message now has padding and rounded borders
- **Color Coding**:
  - THINKING: Blue background (`bg-blue-950/20`), blue border
  - AGENT: Green background (`bg-green-950/20`), green border  
  - USER: Yellow background (`bg-yellow-950/20`), yellow border
- **Spacing**: Increased from `space-y-1` to `space-y-3`
- **Labels**: Small rounded badges with color-coded backgrounds
- **Typography**: 13px font size, better readability

**Visual Changes**:
```
Before:
───────────────────────
23:43:41             AGENT
Planning: cat readme

After:
╔═══════════════════════╗
║ 23:43:41  [THINKING] ║  ← Blue background
║ cat readme            ║
╚═══════════════════════╝

╔═══════════════════════╗
║ 23:43:41  [AGENT]    ║  ← Green background
║ Planning: cat readme  ║
╚═══════════════════════╝
```

## Technical Details

1. **`bandit-runner-app/src/components/terminal-chat-interface.tsx`**
   - Fixed `useEffect` dependency array for `onUserActionRequired`
   - Added comprehensive logging
   - Updated terminal line rendering with backgrounds, borders, and spacing
   - Updated chat message rendering with color-coded blocks

2. **`bandit-runner-app/src/hooks/useAgentWebSocket.ts`**

3. **`bandit-runner-app/src/lib/durable-objects/BanditAgentDO.ts`**
   - Added logging when emitting `user_action_required` event
   - Fixed TypeScript type assertions (`as const`)

### CSS Changes Applied

**Terminal Lines**:
```css
Input (commands): 
  - text-cyan-300, font-semibold
  - bg-cyan-950/30, border-l-2 border-cyan-500
  
Output:
  - text-zinc-300/90, pl-6 (indented)

System:
  - text-purple-300, font-medium
  - bg-purple-950/20, border-l-2 border-purple-500

Error:
  - text-red-300
  - bg-red-950/20, border-l-2 border-red-500
```

**Chat Messages**:
```css
Thinking:
  - bg-blue-950/20, border-l-2 border-blue-500
  - text-blue-200/80

Agent:
  - bg-green-950/20, border-l-2 border-green-500
  - text-green-200/90

User:
  - bg-yellow-950/20, border-l-2 border-yellow-500
  - text-yellow-200/90
```

## Testing Results

### Before Deployment
- ❌ Max-retries modal: Not appearing
- ❌ Terminal: Poor readability, everything blends together
- ❌ Agent panel: Difficult to distinguish message types

### Expected After Deployment
- ⏳ Max-retries modal: Should show with debug logs (to be verified)
- ✅ Terminal: Clear visual hierarchy with color coding and spacing
- ✅ Agent panel: Distinct message types with color-coded blocks

## Next Steps

1. **Test the live site** at https://bandit-runner-app.nicholaivogelfilms.workers.dev
2. **Verify max-retries modal** by starting a run and waiting for Level 1 failures
3. **Check browser console** for debug logs if modal doesn't appear
4. **Verify visual improvements** in terminal and agent panels
5. **Report findings** so we can iterate if needed

## Troubleshooting

If the modal still doesn't appear:

1. **Check console for logs**:
   - If `🚨 DO: Emitting...` appears but nothing else → WebSocket not forwarding event
   - If `📣 Calling user action callback...` appears but no `🚨 USER ACTION...` → Callback not registered
   - If `✅ Modal state set to true` appears → Rendering issue with AlertDialog

2. **Check AlertDialog mounting**:
   - Verify `showMaxRetriesDialog` state updates in React DevTools
   - Check if AlertDialog is hidden by z-index or display issues

3. **Verify event flow**:
   - Use WebSocket inspector in DevTools Network tab
   - Look for `user_action_required` event in WebSocket messages

## Additional Notes

- Token usage and cost tracking confirmed working ✅
- Pre-advance password validation confirmed working ✅
- Command hygiene (no nested SSH) confirmed working ✅
- Error recovery with exponential backoff confirmed working ✅

All core improvements from the original implementation are still functional!
