(Migrated from github.com)

Owner report (2026-10-07): chat "doesn't seem to work at all" and must work like a normal chat, modeled after Slack, with channels and DMs. Shared chat infrastructure: KofTwentyTwo/kof22-agent-foundation#84. Related defect: #34 (owner chat returns UNKNOWN); its fixes are in open PRs not yet in the running local build.

Owner decisions (2026-10-07)

A full chat page with a channels/DMs sidebar, plus the docked panel as a quick view into the same conversations.
In channels, Carl replies only when @mentioned. A DM with Carl always gets a reply.
DMs: member ↔ Carl and member ↔ member. No group DMs in the first release.
First release includes live updates, unread badges, attachments and reactions. Threads are out.

Carl scope

Household channels and DMs bound to verified family members, with current access rechecked on every read, post and push.
@Carl in channels and Carl DMs route into the existing governed conversation workflow, with the same evidence, citation and financial restrictions (no external financial actions).
Member-to-member DMs are private between those members and never sent to the model unless Carl is @mentioned.
Attachments reuse protected household-document storage.

Acceptance

Two real signed-in members exchange messages live in a channel and in a DM; @Carl gets a cited answer; non-members are denied.
The owner's ordinary questions get real answers, not UNKNOWN.
