dropthejase spends eight commits making louis's assistant keep its promises

A cluster of quiet bugs meant the AI assistant was generating documents, citations, and edits that never properly reached the user - and dropthejase went through and fixed them.

Several things in louis's document assistant were silently broken. Documents the assistant generated weren't appearing in the download card at all. Citations were pointing at throwaway internal labels instead of the real documents they referenced, so some couldn't be traced back. Files a user attached to a request, and the workflow they were working inside, weren't actually being handed to the assistant - so it answered without the context the user thought it had. Download links were also going stale before users could use them.

dropthejase worked through the lot: tracked edits now record properly, citations resolve to real documents, attached files and workflow context reach the assistant, and downloads stay live. The team also added structured logs so future failures are searchable rather than guesswork.

So what Anyone weighing louis as a drafting and document assistant should note this is the unglamorous reliability work that decides whether the thing is usable day to day.

SHA	Subject	Author	Date
`efb0290f`	fix(agent): populate change_id, del_id, ins_id in document_edits INSERT	Jason Lee	2026-05-12	↗ GitHub
`a1cef7a5`	feat(agents): add structured JSON error logging to all tools	Jason Lee	2026-05-12	↗ GitHub
Add logger.ts helper to both main and tabular agents. Wraps console.log/error with JSON output (level, tool, message, error, stack). All tool callbacks now catch exceptions and log full stack traces to CloudWatch via stderr.
`3f614333`	fix: annotation status field and download URL in edit_document tool	Jason Lee	2026-05-12	↗ GitHub
commit body - Add status: 'pending' to annotation payload so EditCard does not immediately resolve and disable Accept/Reject/View buttons - Replace presigned S3 URL with backend-relative path for download_url so DocDownloadBlock isSafeHref check passes - Remove unused getPresignedUrl import - Add TEMP_TASKS.md to .gitignore - Note tool spinner parity item in FEATURE-PARITY.md
`0cbbf5ed`	fix(agents,frontend): fix generate_docx download card not showing	Jason Lee	2026-05-13	↗ GitHub
commit body - Fix source constraint: 'assistant_generated' -> 'generated' to match document_versions_source_check constraint - Fix doc_created_start filename mismatch: sanitize title to match the filename the tool returns so frontend updateMatchingEvent finds a match - Fix DocDownloadBlock: open presigned S3 URLs directly instead of rejecting them via isSafeHref check
`c85201fd`	fix(citations): resolve document UUIDs in agent citations end-to-end	Jason Lee	2026-05-13	↗ GitHub
commit body - Agent outputs real document_id/version_id UUIDs in <CITATIONS> block sourced from <document_metadata> appended to read_document output - DocStore extended with document_id + version_id so read_document can append metadata - extractAnnotations parses document_id directly, validates UUID format, cross-checks against known doc set, drops and warns invalid entries - <CITATIONS> block suppressed from SSE stream - never shown in chat UI - History reload extractCitationsFromText validates UUID format on parse - System prompt updated: citations use document_id/version_id/filename fields; doc-N labels banned from <CITATIONS>
`833bb5d3`	fix(agents): surface err.message in tool error returns	Jason Lee	2026-05-13	↗ GitHub
`c05081b4`	fix(agent): use source doc filename for doc_replicated SSE to match doc_replicate_start	Jason Lee	2026-05-13	↗ GitHub
`b06b54ef`	fix(agent): wire workflow marker and attached documents to AgentCore	Jason Lee	2026-05-15	↗ GitHub
commit body Three bugs prevented workflows and doc selection from working: 1. useAssistantChat never prepended [Workflow: title (id)] marker to prompt 2. DisplayWorkflowModal never set workflow field on the outgoing message 3. agents/index.ts never read attached_documents from request body Agent system prompt + read_workflow/list_workflows tools were already correct - only the triggers were missing.
