What changed: the Sessions page lists sessions seen only through the
gateway (from the usage ledger, read-only, a native session of the same id
wins), and shows in gateway mode. A Sessions switch, off by default and
confirmed before it turns on, records each gateway exchange's text under
the config dir (scrubbed, at most 7 days and 256 MiB, cleaned hourly).
Settings sync and restore can't turn it on; POST /api/sessions/recording
turns it on or off and can clear what was kept.
Why: users of magpie as a gateway (gateway mode, LAN clients) had no way
to see their conversations; the owner chose this design on the PR.
Squashed from PR head 6a343ba1 onto origin/main. Conflicts: gui-shell.md
(kept main's placeMenu text, took the PR's Sessions in gateway mode) and
settings_keep_test.go (main's fields plus GatewayConversations).
Run: go build ./..., go vet on gateway, gui, sessions, settings, usage;
go test -race -timeout 900s on those five packages: all ok.
Beside Show conversation, Export Markdown saves the whole conversation
(Claude Code, Qoder, Codex, Pi, oh-my-pi: every agent whose transcript the
page can show) as a Markdown file: a heading with the session's agent, id,
folder, times, models and file, then each turn under User / Assistant, a
tool's call by its name and arguments, its result, thinking and the agent's
own notes folded in <details>. Parts are kept whole (the page's 8000-char
cut doesn't apply), fences grow past any backticks in the text. In the app
it goes to Downloads (never over an earlier export) and the status says
where; in magpie web the browser downloads /api/sessions/markdown. The
session is found as listed, never a path from the page; the file is only
read.
Verified: TestMarkdownClaude, TestMarkdownCodexAndPi, TestMarkdownUnsupported
(sessions) and TestSessionExportMarkdown (gui) under a temp HOME. Without the
routes TestSessionExportMarkdown fails "export: 404 404 page not found";
with the page's per-part cut TestMarkdownClaude fails on the long part.
sessions-export.test.cjs (Chromium+WebKit, en/zh, app and web, 560px) fails
on origin/main's sessions.js waiting for .sess-export; passes with it, as do
sessions-talk, gui-ja, gui-de, gui-zh-tw and i18n-keys. Exported real
Claude Code, Codex and Pi session copies: fences balanced, turns in order.
go vet (darwin, GOOS=linux, GOOS=windows) -tags nogui on both packages.
