chore: bump version to 1.5.0a2

Feat/composer ux squashed (#385 )
* refactor(ui): shared composer widget (pane / coordinator / coord-create) The interactive workstream pane (turnstone-server), the coordinator session view (turnstone-console), and the console home's "start a new orchestration task" form had drifted into three unrelated composer implementations with different DOM, different class names, and different behaviour sets. All three now build on a single `shared_static/composer.js` widget parameterised by feature flags. The widget owns the textarea, send button, optional stop button, optional attach button + file input + chip container, optional drag-drop / paste-image wiring, optional queue-while-busy send-label rotation, optional touch-aware Enter-to-send, and an optional collapsible Options panel with input / select fields, live summary chip, and localStorage-persisted open/closed state. A stacked layout puts the textarea above the action row for creation-form consumers; the inline layout keeps the chat-style single row for send composers. Consumer wiring: - Pane: attachments + stopBtn + queueWhileBusy + drag-drop; keeps its own attachment-upload pipeline and routes file events through the composer's onAttach callback. Pane-specific CSS (.pane-stop / .pane-send.queue-mode) retired; `.ts-composer-stop` / `.ts- composer-send--queue` in shared/chat.css take their place. - Coordinator send: just textarea + send with touchEnterSends=true to preserve the pre-refactor tap-to-send behaviour on tablets. The header-mounted coord-cancel-btn stays (different semantics than a per-generation stop). - Coord-create: stacked layout, rows=3, Start-labelled send, Options dropdown holding Name + Skill; Ctrl/Cmd+Enter handler scoped to the composer mount. `_createCoordinator` lost its DOM-ref shape in favour of raw values + a setBusy callback; a single `_refreshHomeCoordSubmitEnabled` reconciler owns the submit button's disabled flag so the 503 probe and in-flight submit can't race each other. Shared chat.css grew the .ts-composer-stop, .ts-composer-options-*, and .ts-composer--stacked blocks; the coord-create consumer dropped its custom .home-composer-task/-row/-name/-skill/-submit selectors and the "Start a new orchestration task" panel title so the placeholder text carries its own context, matching the webui dashboard's clean look. The visible behaviour on each surface is intentionally the same as before; the change is structural — the three composers can no longer drift apart silently. * fix(composer): review fixes — Enter guard, single disable owner, widget-owned stop reset Review of the squashed whole caught issues that the piecewise reviews missed because they only become visible with all three consumers together: - **Enter bypassed sendBtn.disabled.** Composer's Enter keydown handler called _fireSend() without checking sendBtn.disabled. In the coord-create flow submitHomeCoord doesn't clear the textarea before the POST completes (it redirects on success), so two rapid Enter presses both fired _createCoordinator and could create two coordinators. Enter now mirrors the click path. - **Two writers to sendBtn.disabled.** Composer.setBusy and _refreshHomeCoordSubmitEnabled both wrote the flag. They agreed in sequence today but it was the exact drift hazard the reconciler was meant to eliminate. Added an externalDisable option; when true Composer's setBusy rotates labels / placeholder / stop button but leaves sendBtn.disabled to the caller's reconciler. The coord-create composer opts in. - **setSendLabel dead weight.** Called on every busy transition with static "Start" / "Starting…". Composer.setBusy now rotates labels universally (not just in queueWhileBusy mode); the busy label goes at construction via the existing busyLabel option and setSendLabel is removed. - **Pane reached through composer to reset stopBtn.** Pane.setBusy was writing stopBtn.textContent / aria-label / dataset after delegating — internals leaking through. Composer.setBusy now resets the stop button's standard label + clears forceCancel on every transition (matching the comment that used to live in Pane); Pane drops the reach-through. - **destroy() left detached DOM reachable.** Back-refs (inputEl, sendBtn, etc.) are nulled out so post-destroy access fails loudly instead of silently mutating detached nodes. - **_maybeAutoResize dead indirection.** The enabled-check folded into autoResize itself. * fix(composer): busyLabel context-sensitive default + busyPlaceholder universal Round-two review caught three related loose ends: - Default `busyLabel="Queue"` was fine when label rotation was queue- mode-only, but became misleading after the earlier review fix made rotation universal: non-queue consumers calling setBusy(true) without explicit busyLabel would flash "Queue" on the disabled button. Default is now context-sensitive — "Queue" when queueWhileBusy=true, sendLabel otherwise (no rotation). The coord-send composer no longer needs to touch the label at all. - `busyPlaceholder` JSDoc implied universal swap on busy but the implementation gated it on queueWhileBusy. Decoupled — the placeholder swaps whenever busy, with callers that don't set busyPlaceholder seeing no visible change because it defaults to the idle placeholder. - `options.toggleLabel` and `options.onChange` were supported by the implementation but undocumented. JSDoc for the options shape enumerates every supported key + its default.

+  are now distinct from the conversation model and from each other,
+  with configurable reasoning effort per agent.  Three layers:
+  - **Backend split** (`#54dd557`) — `ModelRegistry` gains `plan_model`,
+    `task_model`, `plan_effort`, `task_effort`; per-kind overrides win
+    over the legacy `agent_model`, which still works as the single-knob
+    fallback.  `resolve_agent_alias(kind)` and `resolve_agent_effort(kind)`
+    centralise resolution.  Loader validates effort against
+    `{none, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, max}` with warn+drop on
+    typos.
+  - **Runtime configurability** (`#360`) — `ConfigStore` admin tab in
+    the console UI lets operators switch alias and reasoning effort per
+    agent **without restarting**.  `INHERIT_EMPTY_LABEL_KEYS` shows
+    `(inherit)` for empty effort selections — distinct from the literal
+    `none` choice which actually disables reasoning.  Routing overrides
+    apply on `/v1/api/_internal/config-reload` (admin saves), and
+    `model-reload` short-circuits when nothing changed so no in-flight
+    clients churn.
+  - **Per-call override** (`#361`) — the calling LLM can pass
+    `model="<alias>"` to `plan_agent` or `task_agent` to override the
+    operator-configured per-kind model for that one invocation.  Tool
+    descriptions list the live registered aliases (refreshed when the
+    operator hits "sync to nodes"), so the LLM always sees current
+    options.  Bad aliases return a corrective error dict listing the
+    available choices.  No whitelist — cost control is intentionally
+    ceded to the model.  Plan-retry path reuses the alias so coaching
+    reflects real model behaviour. (#360, #361)
 - **Provider capability passthrough** — resolved per-model capabilities
-  (vision support, reasoning support, native web search, etc.) flow
-  through to provider clients so feature gating no longer relies on
-  string matching.  Server companion published in the same change. (#352)
- **Claude Opus 4.7 support** — provider capabilities, tokenizer
-  awareness, and adaptive thinking semantics. (#357 — also in 1.3.1)
+  (vision, reasoning, native web search, thinking_mode, token_param,
+  etc.) flow through to provider clients via a new `capabilities`
+  parameter on `create_streaming` / `create_completion`, so feature
+  gating no longer relies on string matching and admin-UI / config.toml
+  overrides actually reach the provider.  Defensive shallow-copy in

+  for server type, thinking mode, and extra body params, hidden for

-**Multi-node**: Client → Console (hash ring routing proxy) → Server nodes. The console maintains a 65536-entry bucket cache for O(1) workstream routing. A rebalancer daemon redistributes buckets when nodes join or leave.
+**Multi-node**: Client → Console (rendezvous routing proxy) → Server nodes. The console picks the target node for each workstream via rendezvous (HRW) hashing over the live service registry — pure function of `(ws_id, live_nodes)`, no stored bucket state, deterministic across readers. A node join or drop only re-routes the keys that score highest on the affected node.

+## Slack Setup
+
+Slack uses **Socket Mode**, so no public URL or API Gateway is required — Slack
+connects outbound to the bot via a WebSocket. Install with:
+
+```bash
+pip install 'turnstone[slack]'
+```
+
+### 1. Create a Slack App
+
+1. Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and click **Create New App**
+2. Under **Settings > Socket Mode**, enable Socket Mode. This generates an
+   **App-Level Token** (prefix `xapp-`) — copy it.
+3. Under **OAuth & Permissions**, add these **Bot Token Scopes**:
+   `chat:write`, `chat:write.public`, `channels:history`, `im:history`,
+   `groups:history`, `mpim:history`, `reactions:write`, `commands`
+4. Under **Event Subscriptions** (Socket Mode delivers events), subscribe
+   to bot events: `message.channels`, `message.im`, `message.groups`
+5. Under **Slash Commands**, create a command (default `/turnstone`)
+6. Install the app to your workspace to generate the **Bot User OAuth
+   Token** (prefix `xoxb-`).
+
+### 2. Configure Turnstone
+
+**Environment variables** (recommended for Docker):
+
+```bash
+TURNSTONE_SLACK_TOKEN=xoxb-...        # Bot User OAuth Token
+TURNSTONE_SLACK_APP_TOKEN=xapp-...    # App-Level Token (Socket Mode)
+TURNSTONE_SLACK_CHANNELS=             # optional, comma-separated channel IDs
+TURNSTONE_SLACK_SLASH_COMMAND=/turnstone
+```
+
+**CLI flags** (bare-metal):
+
+```bash
+turnstone-channel \
+  --slack-token "xoxb-..." \
+  --slack-app-token "xapp-..." \
+  --slack-slash-command /turnstone \
+  --server-url http://localhost:8080
+```
+
+The Slack and Discord adapters can be enabled together — pass tokens for
+both and the gateway hosts both adapters in one process.
+
+### 3. Usage
+
+- **DM the bot**: messages sent directly to the bot create a workstream
+  scoped to that DM; the slash command is not required.
+- **Slash command**: `/turnstone <message>` in any channel the bot can
+  see starts a per-user channel session.
+- Tool approvals render as Slack **Block Kit** buttons; only the user
+  who owns the workstream can approve/reject.
+- Plan reviews render as a modal with approve / request-changes actions.
+- Notifications and reply routing work identically to Discord.
+- Session recovery: persisted channel routes are re-subscribed when the
+  bot restarts, so existing Slack conversations keep flowing.

 # Consistent Hash Ring — Reference Design

-**Status**: Reference (not currently in the hot path)
-**Date**: 2026-03-30
+**Status**: Reference — alternative routing strategy

-## Overview
+Live routing uses **rendezvous (HRW) hashing** in
+`turnstone/core/rendezvous.py` and `turnstone/console/router.py`.  This
+document captures a vnode-ring approach as a reference for future
+evaluation if the cluster outgrows rendezvous's O(N)-per-route
+characteristic.

-This document describes a consistent hash ring algorithm evaluated during
-the design of the direct HTTP transport routing system. The current
-implementation uses weight-proportional bucket assignment with a
-donor/recipient rebalancing algorithm (see `direct-http-transport.md`).
-The consistent hash ring is documented here as a reference for future
-scalability work — if the cluster grows beyond the point where the
-weight-proportional approach is sufficient, the ring provides a
-proven alternative with stronger stability guarantees.
+The FNV-1a-32 hash function specified below is bit-identical to the
+hash used by the live rendezvous implementation; cross-language clients
+can rely on these test vectors.

-## When to consider the ring approach
+## When the ring approach becomes interesting

-The current weight-proportional seeding + donor/recipient rebalancer works
-well when:
- Cluster size is moderate (< 50 nodes)
- Nodes join/leave infrequently
- The rebalancer runs centrally (in the console)
+The vnode ring becomes preferable to rendezvous hashing when:

-The consistent hash ring becomes advantageous when:
- Cluster size grows large (50+ nodes) and frequent membership changes
-  cause the donor/recipient algorithm to churn
- Decentralized routing is needed (each node computes the ring locally,
-  no central console required)
- Cross-language determinism is important (multiple implementations must
-  agree on the same assignment without sharing state)
+- Cluster size grows large (50+ nodes) and the per-route O(N) hash
+  computation becomes visible against downstream HTTP cost.
+- Decentralised routing is needed (each node computes the ring locally,
+  no central console required).
+- A precomputed flat-array lookup is desired so the routing hot path
+  avoids hashing entirely.

 ## How it works

 This server uses the Turnstone console SDK (`TurnstoneConsole`) for node discovery and routing, and `TurnstoneServer` for per-node SSE streaming. The dispatch flow for each command is:

-1. **Route** — `TurnstoneConsole.route_create_workstream(target_node=..., auto_approve=True)` creates a workstream pinned to the target node via the console's hash-ring routing proxy, returning `ws_id` and `node_url`.
+1. **Route** — `TurnstoneConsole.route_create_workstream(target_node=..., auto_approve=True)` creates a workstream pinned to the target node via the console's rendezvous routing proxy, returning `ws_id` and `node_url`.
 2. **Execute** — `TurnstoneServer(node_url, token=...)` connects directly to the node's SSE stream using the same `TURNSTONE_API_TOKEN`. `send_and_wait(prompt, ws_id)` runs the command and the raw bash output is captured from the `ToolResultEvent` — bypassing the costly "agent reads output then re-generates output as completion tokens" round-trip.
 3. **Cleanup** — `TurnstoneConsole.route_close(ws_id)` closes the workstream.
