newOS4 v4.6.00 — System Review

Executive Summary

Shipped: A self-improving module pipeline that lets the AI edit, test, and validate its own modules in dry-run mode without human intervention. The ship_module tool orchestrates test → health check → regression suite, with auto-rollback at every stage. Server persistence (commit) is intentionally gated behind human approval.

v4.6.00 — The Self-Improvement Loop

Goal: AI detects a bug or missing feature, calls ship_module({name, code, tests, commit:false}), and the system writes the change, runs the test, runs the health check, runs the regression suite — and either reports "dry-run passed" or auto-rolls back with a failure report. No human needed for the dry-run path.

AI detects bug → ship_module → test_module → health_check → regression → ✓ / rollback

Phase Breakdown

Phase	Tool	What	Verified
A	`test_module` (rewritten)	Loads module, checks JS errors, verifies commands registered, runs test assertions, auto-rollback on any failure	✅ Assertions catch mismatches, rollback restores old instance
B	`health_check` (new)	Runs core commands (ls, pwd, echo, help), checks world model version, agent health, module count	✅ Returns {healthy, coreCommands, agents, versionMatch}
C	`diff_module` (new)	Line-by-line diff between original and edited module source in `_mods/`	✅ Shows added/removed/changed lines with line numbers
D	`commit_module` (skipped)	Server persistence (WebDAV upload, bundle rebuild, version bump, rate limiting) — intentionally deferred	⏸ Needs more design — gated behind human approval in `ship_module`
E	`_runRegressionSuite` (new)	Module-specific regression tests: ShellModule (export, redirect, chain, pipe), SystemModule (ls, pwd), OrchestratorModule (agents), AI tools	✅ 4 tests for ShellModule, 3/4 passed (redirect test needs routing fix)
F	`ship_module` (new)	Full pipeline: edit → test → health_check → regression. Auto-rollback at any stage. `commit:true` = human approval needed	✅ Pipeline aborts on test failure, reports step where it failed

Known Limitation & Next Fix

Issue: Regression tests use _captureCommandOutput which calls security.checkAndRun() — this routes to the first module that has the command, bypassing the shell parser. Tests for shell-specific features (redirect, pipe) need to go through executeCommand instead.

Classification: Test design issue, not a framework bug.

Fix plan: Add a second test path _captureShellCommand that routes through the real shell parser for redirect/pipe/export cases. Keep _captureCommandOutput as the generic helper. → target v4.6.01

Files Modified

module-aiassist.js core — 4 new tool definitions, test_module rewrite, 3 new handlers, _captureCommandOutput + _runRegressionSuite helpers
core-bundle.js core — same changes synced to bundled core
main.html core — version bump → v4.6.00

Recommendations (Next Iterations)

v4.6.01 — Fix redirect/pipe regression test (add _captureShellCommand path)
v4.6.02 — Clean up 3 stale agents
v4.7.00 — Phase D: commit_module with proper WebDAV upload, bundle rebuild, version bump, rate limiting
v4.7.x — Expand regression suite to cover all 21 core modules
v4.8.x — Add a "watchdog" agent that auto-detects bugs in the loop itself
