v2026.05.28 — ABE framework + web dashboard overhaul

on GitHub

The two big themes since v2026.05.22: the ABE (Autonomous Business Entities) framework lands end-to-end, and the web dashboard gets a full overhaul to parity with the CLI plus a living, theme-able presence.

ABE — Autonomous Business Entities

• Framework: companies + general typed resource_ledger, role personas (overlays, not plugins), CRM pipeline on existing tables, product YAML, multi-company isolation by company_id, self-bootstrap. Concept originated by Petr Royce (2023).
• Phase 8.5–11: end-to-end "drive my business" workflow → onboard → Trust Ladder & Draft-Before-Act (no spam path) → Voice Learning (anti-AI-slop quality layer) → Strategic Planning & Capability Audit with a self-build autonomy loop (blockers → ask / build / defer).
• Board view (Phase 5): companies panel in the dashboard; company_archive / company_purge.
• Research-then-propose for onboarding + strategy inputs (operator edits, not blank forms).
• Workflows moved from the awareness block into versioned SKILL.md files; prompt-size cuts after live profiling.

Browser & CLI

• Optional cloud browser backend (browser-use.com) via nested browser.type: local | cloud — deploy online without local Chromium.
• New elophanto goals (list/show/cancel/pause/delete) and elophanto help task cheat-sheet.

Web dashboard

• Feature parity with the CLI: new Companies, Goals, Roles, Affect (PAD + the behavioral cue the state imposes), and Ego (Higgins actual/ideal/ought, coherence, per-capability confidence, humbling events) pages — backed by read-only gateway commands reusing the agent's managers.
• Living agent "core" — a Tau-style luminous orb (Dashboard hero + sidebar brand mark) that breathes and shifts color with live state.
• Persistent activity ticker on every page + a Dashboard command-center (live timeline, auto-refresh).
• Live reasoning/thinking panel in chat (Codex chain-of-thought), mirroring the terminal.
• Theme templates — Light / Dark / Nocturne / Mocha, web-native CSS presets with a sidebar picker (separate from the terminal's new YAML theme system).
• Pagination across long lists; schedule delete + enable/disable (first write actions, owner-gated).

Terminal

• YAML theme system — user-extensible default / nocturne / mocha; elophanto themes CLI.
• Dedicated #reasoning panel (Ctrl+R to cycle); chat-stop redesign (per-session cancel, not hard halt).

Fixes & hygiene

• Affect web-payload serialization (AffectEvent dataclasses → JSON-safe; _send_json default=str safety net).
• .gitignore: anchor /companies/ to repo root; stop tracking *.tsbuildinfo.
• mypy/CI green; docs (README, docs/76/78/79, CHANGELOG) updated throughout.
