{"content":"Development diary for open-agent-connect branch codex/conversations-steer-refresh. Investigated why /ui/conversations did not refresh after a Steer guided local Bot turn even though the private chat message was sent and received. Root cause: guided local turns persisted outbound A2A conversation messages through the default best-effort persister inside privateChatAutoReply, bypassing the daemon's conversation event publisher. The daemon then tried to infer a new A2A message by reading the projection after the turn, which made the UI update depend on a fragile post-read instead of the actual persistence event. Change: privateChatAutoReply now accepts an optional A2A conversation persister dependency and uses it for inbound and outbound A2A projection writes. The daemon guidance path passes its event-publishing persister into the guided-turn orchestrator, so successful guided outbound persistence emits the same conversation-message SSE that /ui/conversations already listens for. Removed the duplicate post-read event publishing block from defaultHandlers. Added a regression test proving guided local turns call the injected A2A persister. Verification: watched the new test fail first with persistedInputs length 0, then pass after the fix. Ran npm run build && node --test tests/chat/privateChatAutoReply.test.mjs (36/36 pass). Ran npm run build && node --test tests/daemon/defaultConversationsHandlers.test.mjs tests/daemon/httpServer.test.mjs tests/ui/conversationsPageScript.test.mjs (123/123 pass).
