+# PRD: Real-time Streaming Architecture & HTML Response Rendering
+
+## Vision
+Transform agentgui from a "save-on-complete" model to a "stream-as-it-happens" model where:
+1. Real-time stream chunks are persisted to DB immediately as they arrive
+2. Client views always pull from persisted chunks (not ephemeral process output)
+3. Conversation state survives page refresh and multi-tab viewing
+4. Agent thoughts/responses rendered as beautiful semantic HTML (not JSON)
+5. System remains the same whether viewing live stream or historical conversation
+
+## Critical Problems Being Solved
+
+### Problem 1: Conversation State Loss on Refresh
+**Current**: Viewing live execution → refresh page → conversation disappears
+**Why**: Stream chunks exist only in memory during execution, saved as single JSON when done
+**Solution**: Persist each chunk to DB immediately as it arrives from stream
+
+### Problem 2: Dual View Inconsistency
+**Current**: Same conversation looks different when live vs after completion
+**Why**: Live view shows individual streaming blocks, complete view shows condensed JSON
+**Solution**: Single source of truth = DB chunks. No special handling for "done" state
+
+### Problem 3: No Multi-Tab Support
+**Current**: Can't view same conversation in two browser tabs simultaneously
+**Why**: No persistent state, live process is ephemeral
+**Solution**: DB persistence means any tab can view same chunks at any time
+
+### Problem 4: HTML Output Not Distinguished from Files
+**Current**: System prompt says "output HTML" but unclear if it means response HTML or file writes
+**Why**: Ambiguous instruction in system prompt
+**Solution**: Make explicit: Agent HTML responses ≠ file operations. Only HTML rendering for display
+
+### Problem 5: Process Completion Creates Artifacts
+**Current**: When execution finishes, entire thing re-saved as JSON blob
+**Why**: Current architecture treats completion as "finalize and persist"
+**Solution**: No special completion action. Streaming simply stops. DB already has everything.
+
+## Architecture Changes Required
+
+### 1. Stream Chunk Persistence (Core Change)
+**Current Flow**:
+```
+Claude → Stream Event → In-Memory Buffer → On Complete: Save JSON → DB
+```
+
+**New Flow**:
+```
+Claude → Stream Event → Process → Save Chunk → DB → WebSocket to Clients
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Each `streaming_progress` event creates DB chunk immediately
+- Each chunk has: `id`, `sessionId`, `conversationId`, `sequence`, `type`, `data`, `created_at`
+- No buffering, no aggregation, no re-saving on completion
+- Chunks table schema must support variable size chunks (BLOB or TEXT)
+
+### 2. Client Rendering from DB Only
+**Current**: Client renders from WebSocket stream events
+**New**: Client renders from DB chunks via polling/WebSocket
+**Benefit**: Same render path whether data is fresh or historical
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Add endpoint: `GET /api/conversations/:id/chunks?since=<timestamp>`
+- Returns chunks in order (sequence number)
+- Client polls every 100ms for new chunks
+- WebSocket optimization: only notify "new chunk available", don't send chunk data
+- Client always fetches from DB to keep rendering consistent
+
+### 3. HTML Response Rendering (System Prompt Change)
+**Current System Prompt**:
+```
+"Always write your responses in ripple-ui enhanced HTML"
+```
+
+**Problem**: Unclear if this is for file output or response rendering
+**Solution**: Make explicit instruction:
+```
+For user-facing responses and thoughts: Always use semantic HTML with ripple-ui components
+Do not treat this as file creation. HTML is for rendering in the UI, not saving to disk.
+Block types (text, code, thinking, etc) in your message should render as beautiful semantic HTML
+File operations (Read, Write, Edit) are separate - create actual files on disk when needed
+Distinguish clearly: HTML response rendering ≠ file write operations
+```
+
+### 4. Conversation URL State (Client Change)
+**Current**: Conversations loaded from session, URL doesn't track state
+**New**: URL contains conversation ID and session ID for deep linking
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Route: `/gm/?conversation=<conversationId>&session=<sessionId>`
+- Page refresh loads same conversation from URL
+- Each conversation maintains scroll position in localStorage
+- Deep linking enables multi-tab viewing
+
+### 5. Remove Post-Execution JSON Consolidation (Deletion)
+**Current**: When execution completes, entire response saved as consolidated JSON
+**New**: No action on completion. Stream already persisted.
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Delete code in `server.js` that creates final JSON blob on streaming_complete
+- Keep the `streaming_complete` event for UI notifications ("Finished!")
+- All message data comes from persisted chunks, not from completion blob

+
+## Data Model
+
+### New: chunks table
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE chunks (
+  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+  sessionId TEXT NOT NULL,
+  conversationId TEXT NOT NULL,
+  sequence INTEGER NOT NULL,
+  type TEXT NOT NULL, -- "text", "code", "thinking", "tool_use", "tool_result", "bash", "system", "image"
+  data BLOB NOT NULL, -- full block data as JSON
+  created_at INTEGER NOT NULL,
+  FOREIGN KEY (sessionId) REFERENCES sessions(id),
+  FOREIGN KEY (conversationId) REFERENCES conversations(id)
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_chunks_session ON chunks(sessionId, sequence);
+CREATE INDEX idx_chunks_conversation ON chunks(conversationId, sequence);
+CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_chunks_unique ON chunks(sessionId, sequence);
+```
+
+### Modified: messages table (optional cleanup)
+- Keep as-is for message text
+- Add `chunks_id` field to reference chunk sequence (future)
+- Messages created from chunks summary, not vice versa
+
+## API Changes
+
+### New Endpoints
+```
+GET /api/conversations/:id/chunks?since=<timestamp>
+Response: [{id, sessionId, conversationId, sequence, type, data, created_at}...]
+
+GET /api/sessions/:id/chunks?since=<timestamp>
+Response: Same as above, filtered by session
+```
+
+### Modified Endpoints
+```
+POST /api/conversations/:id/messages
+- Still creates message (for conversation history)
+- But also triggers chunk persistence for streaming blocks
+- No change to request/response format
+```
+
+### Removed/Deprecated
+```
+The "save on completion" behavior in streaming_complete event
+- Keep the event for UI ("execution finished")
+- Just don't save aggregated JSON
+- Chunks already in DB from streaming
+```
+
+## System Prompt Changes
+
+### Current
+```
+Always write your responses in ripple-ui enhanced HTML. Avoid overriding
+light/dark mode CSS variables. Use all the benefits of HTML to express
+technical details with proper semantic markup, tables, code blocks, headings,
+and lists. Write clean, well-structured HTML that respects the existing
+design system.
+```
+
+### New (Clearer)
+```
+RESPONSE RENDERING:
+Your thoughts and responses are rendered as semantic HTML in the UI using
+ripple-ui components. Always structure responses with proper HTML:
+- Use headings for sections (<h2>, <h3>)
+- Use lists for sequences (<ul>, <ol>)
+- Use tables for structured data
+- Use code blocks with language tags
+- Use semantic elements: <strong>, <em>, <code>, <pre>
+- Never override CSS variables (use class names instead)
+- Respect the design system
+
+DISTINGUISH: HTML Response vs File Operations
+- HTML above is for UI rendering, not file creation
+- When you need to create files on disk: use Write, Edit, or Bash tools
+- Message blocks (text, code, thinking, tool_use) render as HTML automatically
+- File operations create actual files in the working directory
+- Do not try to "output files" as HTML in your response
+- File operations are explicit via tools, not implicit via response text
+
+BLOCK TYPES:
+Your assistant message will be parsed into blocks:
+- text: Plain text with markdown support
+- code: Code with language detection
+- thinking: Internal reasoning (expandable)
+- tool_use: Showing which tools you're calling
+- tool_result: Tool output
+- bash: Shell commands
+- system: System information
+- image: Image display
+Each block renders with semantic HTML and proper styling.
+```
+

+- [ ] Multiple streams don't corrupt chunk sequence
+
+### Client Behavior
+- [ ] Page refresh shows same conversation state
+- [ ] Same conversation visible in two tabs simultaneously
+- [ ] Scroll position preserved per conversation
+- [ ] URL deep linking works (share link to specific conversation)
+
+### Rendering Consistency
+- [ ] Live stream looks identical to historical view
+- [ ] No "loading from JSON" artifacts
+- [ ] HTML rendering of blocks is semantic and beautiful
+- [ ] Dark mode works for all response blocks
+
+### Performance
+- [ ] Chunk polling adds <50ms latency to visibility
+- [ ] DB queries for chunks return in <100ms (with index)
+- [ ] No memory leaks from chunk history
+- [ ] WebSocket still efficient (only notifications, not data)
+
+### System Prompt Clarity
+- [ ] Agent clearly distinguishes HTML response rendering from file operations
+- [ ] Block types documented and understood
+- [ ] No confusion between "output HTML" and "write HTML file"
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Chunk Persistence Strategy
+- Use database transaction: Insert chunk → Broadcast event → Return
+- If insert fails, retry up to 3 times with exponential backoff
+- If all retries fail, log error but don't crash (supervisor catches)
+- Broadcast only happens after successful DB insert
+
+### Client Polling Implementation
+- Use `AbortController` for request cancellation
+- Exponential backoff on errors: 100ms → 200ms → 400ms → reset after success
+- Single active poll at a time (debounce overlapping requests)
+- Stop polling when stream ends (flag in UI)
+- Resume polling on reconnect
+
+### URL State Strategy
+- Use `pushState()` not hash (cleaner URLs, better for sharing)
+- Encode: `?conversation=<id>&session=<id>`
+- Validate IDs on load (prevent XSS)
+- Graceful fallback if invalid (show conversation list)
+
+### Backward Compatibility
+- Old conversations with JSON blob still work (handled by rendering layer)
+- New conversations use chunks table
+- No migration needed (can run dual path for period of time)
+- Eventually clean up JSON blob from old messages
+
+## Unknowns to Validate
+
+- [ ] Chunk size distribution (average, max, min)
+- [ ] Polling latency impact on perceived freshness
+- [ ] Database performance with high-frequency chunk inserts
+- [ ] Memory usage with large conversation histories
+- [ ] Browser storage limits for scroll position tracking
+- [ ] Concurrent chunk arrivals in same session (race conditions)
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. Should chunk sequence be per-session or global? → Per-session (cleaner transactions)
+2. Should chunks include metadata about which tool produced them? → Yes (for tracing)
+3. Should we compress chunks in DB or store raw? → Raw (compression adds latency)
+4. How long to keep polling before deciding stream ended? → 5 seconds without activity
+5. Should old JSON blob messages be migrated to chunks? → Lazy migration on view
