Output

Session Briefing Debug Mode

Investigation Summary

I investigated the kontask you referenced (screenshot showing blank console after "New Session"). The code fix is deployed correctly - I verified:

  • briefingEscapeHtml() function exists in rendered HTML
  • showSessionBriefing() function exists in rendered HTML
  • ✓ API endpoints work correctly with valid tokens
  • ✓ konui was restarted after code changes

Mystery

The screenshot shows "New Claude session started" message but NO briefing card - not even the "No recent activity" fallback. This means either the function isn't being called, or it's failing silently before adding the card.

Debug Logging Added

I've added console.log statements to trace execution. After clicking "New Session", check your browser's Developer Console (F12) for these messages:

[SessionBriefing] Starting...
[SessionBriefing] Token: present/MISSING
[SessionBriefing] Data: { recentKontasks: N, incompleteKontasks: N }
[SessionBriefing] Card built, length: N
[SessionBriefing] Card appended to output

If you see an error in the console, or if "Starting..." never appears, that will tell us where the issue is.

Visible Error Display

I also added a visible error card that will appear in the console if the briefing function fails. If something goes wrong, you'll now see a red error message instead of nothing.

Test Steps

  1. Open browser Developer Tools (F12) → Console tab
  2. Click "New" button to start fresh session
  3. Look for [SessionBriefing] messages in console
  4. Report what you see (or screenshot the console)
