Root cause of "can't send prompts while a run streams": /api/exploit
spawned a plain `neurosploit run ...` subprocess, and that CLI path
(run_mode() in main.rs) never reads stdin - it only waits on the task or
Ctrl-C. The ONLY thing in the harness that keeps accepting input while an
engagement streams is the interactive REPL's background-run loop. So:
- New startJobViaRepl(): for mode run/whitebox/greybox, spawns a bare
`neurosploit` REPL session and scripts it via stdin (/target or /repo,
/model, /sub, /mcp, /votes, /chain, /recon, /focus, /objective,
/scope-out, /creds, /only <agents> or /only clear, then /run) instead
of building CLI args. Same underlying pipeline, same tagged output
lines, so all existing parsing (findings/phase/progress/runId) works
unchanged. host/aitest/skills modes stay on the old one-shot
startJob() - they need onboarding's scope picker, an interactive
arrow-key menu that silently skips itself over a piped stdin, so they
can't be scripted this way.
- New POST /api/exploit/:id/input writes a line to the session's stdin -
natural language, /status, /continue, anything the REPL accepts - and
the live run view grows a "send prompt" box (in the Activity log tab)
for it, shown only when the job reports interactive: true.
- Stop, for an interactive job, now sends the REPL's own graceful
'/stop\n1\n' (validate what's found, then report) instead of SIGINT -
the REPL's own input loop has no signal handler, so SIGINT there would
just kill the process outright and skip the report step. Non-
interactive jobs still get SIGINT (run_mode() does catch that).
- 'done' can no longer be process-exit only: an interactive session stays
open after the engagement finishes (for /report, /continue, another
/run), so ingestLine() now also flags done from the same "phase
complete" content signal it already used for the phase field.
Verified end-to-end: started an interactive job, confirmed
`interactive: true` and a captured runId, sent /status and /agents mid-
and post-run over the new /input endpoint (both accepted, session stayed
alive and responsive after completion), and confirmed a non-interactive
run is unaffected.
Also: the missing "Activity log" tab a screenshot showed for a "running"
engagement was the sidebar's detail-view fallback (2 tabs, no log) for a
run whose Job object no longer exists in server memory - it happens when
the Node process gets restarted while a spawned neurosploit child is
still alive underneath it (an orphan from testing across many redeploys
this session, not a code bug); the live view itself always had the tab.

- Select all / Clear all buttons in the Leads step toolbar - respects the
current search filter, so filtering to "sql" then Select all only pins
those, not all 412 leads. The per-category master switch (already
select/deselect-all for that category, indeterminate when partial) was
the only bulk control before; this adds the "everything" case.
- '+ Custom lead' now generates an ACTUAL specialist-agent markdown file
(agents_md/vulns/custom_<slug>.md, same format every other agent uses)
via the claude CLI on the operator's Anthropic subscription
(claude-opus-4-8 by default - matches the harness's own default model),
instead of folding free text into --focus. The new lead is immediately
selectable and pinnable via --only like any other agent; verified the
Rust harness's own agent loader picks it up (agent count went 435 -> 436,
neurosploit agents confirmed it).
Two things found and fixed while wiring this up:
- the skip-permissions flag gave the model file/bash tool access, which
made it try to write the file itself and narrate doing so instead of
just returning text. Dropped the flag (pure text completion needs no
tools) and told it explicitly not to use any.
- Even so, defensively strip anything before the first '# ' heading
before saving, in case a model still prepends commentary.
Falls back to the old free-text-focus behavior if generation fails
(claude not installed/logged in, malformed output, timeout) so the
operator's intent isn't lost.
- New "Custom Leads" category, shown first, so generated leads have a
visible home instead of landing in the catch-all "Other" bucket.

Real front-end bugs found and fixed:
- [hidden] never worked on any element whose class also sets 'display'
(every .btn, .chip, ...): the browser's built-in '[hidden]{display:none}'
rule and an author rule of equal specificity tie, and the later one in the
cascade wins — so 'Next' stayed visible on the Review step alongside
'Start Exploitation', and 'Open report'/'Stop' rendered during 'starting'.
Fixed with a single global '[hidden]{display:none!important}' override.
- Progress bar was functionally correct but easy to miss (thin, 0%-width,
low-contrast track) and gave no feedback while the agent count is still
unknown (recon phase). Added a border for visibility and an indeterminate
sliding-segment state for the 'agents: ?' window.
- A live run watched in the browser was lost on F5 (jumped back to the
wizard) even though the job keeps running server-side. The active job id
now persists in localStorage; on load the app reconnects the SSE stream
(the server replays its full event buffer) instead of losing the view.
New:
- Findings are now clickable — a detail modal shows every Finding field
(CWE/CVSS/OWASP/MITRE/stage/exploitability/confidence/votes/review status/
auth context/account/agent), endpoint+payload, evidence, impact, business
impact, remediation, and chains_from — in both the live run and past-run
detail views.
- PoC surfacing: the finding modal looks up any script the run wrote to
pocs/ that's cited in the finding's evidence (per the harness's own
doctrine — see pipeline.rs change below), fetches and previews it inline,
with a link to open the raw file. Live runs poll for new PoC files every
5s once the run id is known.
- Pinned-leads confirmation: the live run header now states plainly how
many leads were pinned (and their names) or that selection is auto
(recon-driven) — this was previously buried in the scrolling activity log
behind the harness's unconditional 'Loaded 435 agents' library-size line,
which describes the full agent library, not what will actually run.
Harness doctrine (crates/harness/src/pipeline.rs, pocs_line()):
PoC-writing for black-box findings was previously conditioned on 'when an
issue needs a custom multi-step exploit/script' — vague enough that a
straightforward finding (single-request XSS/SQLi/IDOR) often got no PoC
file at all. Now required for every confirmed Medium+ finding, one
standalone .py/.sh script per finding, and explicit about citing the exact
file name in the finding's evidence field (which is what the web UI now
matches on to link a PoC to its finding).

Wizard's Asset step now opens with a required 'Engagement name' field
(validated before advancing or launching). The name isn't a harness/CLI
concept, so it's persisted server-side as runId -> name in
.neurosploit/web-engagement-names.json (keyed off the CLI's own run id,
captured from its 'run id : ns-...' log line) so the sidebar, live run
header, and run detail can label a run by name instead of the raw
target/run-id, surviving a server restart.

Full frontend rewrite following a deliberate visual direction (dense
security-operations console — borders over shadows, two radii, one accent,
no gradients/glassmorphism) and fixing real bugs found in review:
- EventSource on the exploit stream never called es.close() on 'done',
so the browser silently reconnected and re-streamed the whole job
(duplicate log lines/findings). Fixed.
- Sidebar 'running' step indicator and openRun() matched ANY running run
instead of the one belonging to the current job (by runId). Fixed.
New:
- 5-step engagement wizard (Asset -> Scope & Auth -> Leads -> Model & Run
-> Review) replacing the single flat board — inspired by the
Discovery/Plan/Exploit/Remediate stage model both a.security and
terra.security use publicly.
- Model is now a real dropdown sourced from /api/providers (mirrors
harness::models::providers()), with an API-key vs. subscription toggle
that disables subscription for API-only providers.
- One Auth & Keys menu: target auth header + named roles (IDOR/BOLA/BFLA
multi-identity testing) materialize into an ephemeral creds.yaml passed
via --creds; per-provider API keys live in server memory only (never on
disk) and are merged into every spawned child's env.
- Generative Attack Path Chaining: findings rendered as kill-chain columns
(recon -> initial-access -> ... -> impact) with chains_from resolved to
parent titles, live in the run view and static in run detail.
- Findings are now a proper table (severity/title/endpoint/CWE/agent/
confidence) instead of stacked cards.
- Explicit light/dark theme toggle persisted in localStorage, defaulting
to light (previously light only won when the OS wasn't in dark mode).
- All UI strings in English.
Backend additions: GET /api/providers, GET/POST/DELETE /api/keys,
ephemeral creds.yaml generation for auth/roles, env override merged into
every exploit-job and REPL child spawn.

New web/ app (zero npm deps, Node http built-ins only):
- server.js reads agents_md/ to build a categorized lead board (435 agents
auto-classified into Business Logic / Broken Access Control / Injection /
LLM Application / Auth & Session / SSRF / API / Cloud & Infra / etc.),
reads runs/ for history, and spawns the compiled neurosploit CLI binary
for every exploitation job — structured findings/phase/progress are parsed
from its stdout (finding_json:/phase lines), same signal the TUI uses.
- REPL drawer spawns `neurosploit` with no subcommand (real interactive
session, Reader::Plain over the piped stdin) and streams stdin/stdout —
every /command works exactly as in a terminal, nothing reimplemented.
- SSE endpoints for both job and REPL streams; run/finding/report assets
served under /api/runs/:id/asset/*.
- public/{index,app.js,style.css}: lead board with category toggles + custom
leads + Start Exploitation, live run view (progress/findings/log), run
detail view, REPL drawer — screenshot-inspired layout.
- web/API.md: full endpoint reference. web/README.md: quick start.
Bump version 3.6.9 -> 4.0.0 (Cargo.toml, CLI banners, README/TUTORIAL).
