Two tools in the Autopilot-only `expert_admin` group: `list_expert_chats` and `read_expert_chat`. Ownership is the chat API's own paginated query, so a chat owned by anyone else reads exactly like one that does not exist. The transcript pages by sequence under an 8,000-character cap that drops rows from the old end, so the cursor it reports brings them back. An expert session is never offered the tools and is refused if it names one. SECRT-2581 Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (Claude Code) <noreply@anthropic.com>

WalkthroughThe copilot adds Autopilot-only tools to list expert chats and read paginated transcripts. It adds response models, database filtering, access controls, prompt guidance, service integration, tests, and OpenAPI response types. ChangesExpert chat oversight
Priority: ➖ Normal — Schedule the AutoPilot expert-chat access feature because it adds a broad, ownership-protected capability for listing and reading users’ expert conversations. Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Severity of issue fixed: Medium Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This change adds gated expert-chat listing and transcript reading with bounded pagination and deterministic session ordering. No concrete current merge-blocking risk remains. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

…ode restart, and let the listing end The restart rebuilds the system prompt from its own parts and had no oversight_supplement, so a mid-turn enter_agent_building_mode dropped the chat-reading guidance while list_expert_chats and read_expert_chat stayed registered — the same silent-capability hole the delegation supplement is threaded through it to close. list_expert_chats also took limit and offset but returned neither has_more nor a cursor, so a full page was indistinguishable from the last one. It now fetches one row past the page to answer that, matching the has_more read_expert_chat already returns. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (Claude Code) <noreply@anthropic.com>

isPinned + updatedAt leave ties in an arbitrary order, so the LIMIT/OFFSET walk this PR now advertises to the model could drop or repeat a chat between pages. The id breaks the tie without touching the order of rows that already differ. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (Claude Code) <noreply@anthropic.com>

⚠️ Verdict: Review incomplete — security specialist did not complete; architect specialist did not complete; performance specialist did not complete; testing specialist did not complete; quality specialist did not complete; product specialist did not complete; fix the review setup or missing evidence and rerun.
GitHub CI is green (48 checks) on head 24bdb01 and the discussion review found no open reviewer requests. Most specialists failed with transient 502 errors, making this an incomplete review, but no concrete defect was surfaced and the change is confined to the isolated product scope.

Four comments ran to four and five lines where two or three carry the same constraint. No behaviour change. Also record, above `_CHAR_BUDGET` where a resolver will actually see it, that a merge conflict on that constant resolves to the higher value: #14424 and #14455 are bumping the same line concurrently, and each branch's CI only measures its own delta against dev, so taking the incoming side lowers a ceiling that has to cover every in-flight PR at once.

Why / What / How
AutoPilot can now read the user's chats with their hired experts — it lists them, and reads a transcript, when the user asks what an expert did or said. Experts get no reverse capability: an expert session is never offered the tools and is refused if it names one anyway.
Until now nothing carried that context. An expert's chat is the user's own data, but it lives outside the AutoPilot thread, so "what did Ada find last week?" could only be answered by the user pasting it in. SECRT-2581.
Two tools,
list_expert_chatsandread_expert_chat, in the existingexpert_admincapability group. That group already means "AutoPilot only":expert_tool_disabled_groupsdisables it for any session with anexpert_id,get_available_toolsthen hides the schema andexecute_toolrefuses the name before dispatch, so a model that names a hidden tool from a replayed transcript getstool_disabledrather than data.The whole surface rides the existing
HIRE_EXPERTSflag, like the rest of the team tools: with it off there are no experts and both tools are hidden.Ownership is not new code.
read_expert_chatcalls the sameget_chat_messages_paginatedthe chat API's ownGET /sessions/{id}uses, with the caller'suser_id, which puts the user id in the ChatSession where-clause; a chat owned by anyone else comes back asNoneand gets the same "no expert chat with id X" as one that never existed, so the tool is not an existence oracle. It additionally refuses an AutoPilot chat and a dream-pass artifact, both of which the listing excludes — fetch-by-id must not be a way around the listing's scope.The transcript is bounded by paging rather than summarising. Every message row carries a
sequenceand the existing query already pages on it with tool-pair and visibility expansion applied, so a window costs one call. A page is capped at 8,000 characters with each message capped at 2,000; when the cap bites, rows are dropped from the old end and the reportednext_before_sequenceis the oldest row actually returned, so the dropped rows are the first thing the next page brings back.What comes back is what the user sees in their own UI: control turns marked hidden are dropped, the server-injected
<user_context>/<memory_context>prefixes are stripped from user rows, and an assistant row's tool calls become a one-line[called: run_agent]— raw tool output is bulky and off by default behindinclude_tool_results.Changes 🏗️
copilot/tools/expert_chats.py— the two tools, registered inTOOL_REGISTRY,TOOL_GROUPS(expert_admin) and theToolNameliteral.copilot/db.py—get_user_chat_sessionsgainsexperts_only, one SQL condition mirroring the existingautopilot_only. Filtering in the tool would be wrong:LIMITapplies before the filter, so a user with many AutoPilot chats would get an empty list.copilot/prompting.py—get_expert_oversight_supplement, three lines of guidance, gated inside the function onexperts_enabled and not expert_id. It cannot rideget_delegation_supplement, which both sides of a delegation see.copilot/tools/models.py—ExpertChatListResponse/ExpertChatTranscriptResponse. Not added toToolResponseUnion: likelist_team's response they have no dedicated frontend renderer, and the plain message reads fine in the tool chain. A ToolChain label for the two tools is a cheap follow-up.Two decisions worth a reviewer's eye, both one line to reverse:
interactive-origin gate. The staffing tools require one because they write. Every read tool AutoPilot already has (memory_search,read_workspace_file) runs in an automation session, and a scheduled "summarise what my experts did this week" is a real use.Verified
I executed
backend/copilot/tools/expert_chats_test.py(17),backend/copilot/tools/tool_schema_test.py,backend/copilot/db_session_listing_test.py,prompting_test.py,permissions_test.py,sdk/expert_tool_gate_test.py,sdk/tool_adapter_test.py,baseline/service_unit_test.pyandbackend/util/architecture_test.py(294 passed, 3 xfailed together), plusbackend/blocks/test/test_block.py. Four guards were each broken once and watched failing before being restored — the ownership argument, the group membership, the AutoPilot-chat refusal and the cap's drop direction; the mutation table is in the evidence comment. pyright is clean on every file touched. The rest ofbackend/copilot/tools/reached 952 passed before hitting two hangs that are local infrastructure, not this change — the evidence comment names them and shows the first hanging identically with these two tools unregistered.What I did not execute: the two engine call sites.
stream_chat_completion_baseline/_sdkare covered only by the unit test on the supplement's own gate, which is where the condition now lives — the concatenation itself is one line in each engine and is not exercised end to end here.Agents and large language models used
