This matches the user's report exactly. │ │ Also, even if `name="cursor"` is added, there's one more thing to consider: the JS trim handling │ (MAX_LINES=500) keeps the cursor from the last line — no problem. │ │ Now, are there any other contributing factors or edge cases that should be included in the plan? │ │ 1. **Main fix**: Add `name="cursor"` to the hidden input in templates/index.html.

Correct, no duplicates. │ - Filter submit: clears the log + resets cursor → fresh 100-line fetch. Correct. │ - Race condition (optional): while an in-flight poll has already received a response (fetched │ with cursor C1), the user submits a filter → log cleared → new batch appended → stale response │ arrives and gets appended → duplication. Rare, transient. Optional hardening: dedupe in │ `htmx:afterSwap` using the existing `data-cursor` attributes — drop incoming `.jline`s whose │ cursor already exists in the DOM. But watch the ordering: appended lines come at the end, and │ the dedupe set should be built from the lines that existed before the swap. Since the swap │ appends after the existing lines, we can: capture the set of existing cursors before... but in │ afterSwap it's after the swap. Hmm — can we distinguish "old" from "new"?

It just returned entries (the first 2 entries after the cursor — which, since │ the cursor is extremely old, turned out to be the oldest entries). So a stale cursor after a │ reboot doesn't hard-fail. It either returns entries from after that point (potentially │ re-appending old content once), or returns nothing. Either way it self-recovers. Good — no need │ to handle reboots in the plan. │ │ Alright, I'm confident in the analysis: │ │ **Root cause**: `templates/index.html:72` — `` │ has no `name` attribute. In htmx 1.9.12 (vendored), `fr()` skips inputs with `name == null`, so │ `hx-include="#journal-cursor"` sends nothing. Every 5-second poll reaches the server with │ `cursor=""`, and `/api/journal` always returns the most recent 100 lines, which │ `hx-swap="beforeend"` appends again → the entire batch gets duplicated on every internal reload. │ │ **Fix**: Add `name="cursor"` to the hidden input. One-line change to the template, no restart │ needed (templates auto-reload). │ │ **Verification**: Restart is not required, but to observe the polling I can curl the endpoint │ with and without a cursor: │ - `curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8501/api/journal"` → 100 lines │ - Grab the last data-cursor, then `curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8501/api/journal?cursor="` → │ only newer lines (0 if the system is quiet) │ │ The browser-level check (no duplicates appearing in the UI over ~10–15 seconds) is the real │ verification. │ │ **Optional hardening** (present to user as a choice): │ 1. Client-side dedup in `htmx:afterSwap`: discard incoming `.jline.htmx-added` entries whose │ `data-cursor` already exists in the DOM.

Here's the analysis: │ │ ## Root cause │ │ `templates/index.html:72` — the hidden cursor input has **no `name` attribute**: │ │ ```html │ │ ``` │ │ I verified in the vendored htmx 1.9.12 (`static/vendor/htmx.min.js`): its input-collection guard │ `fr()` returns false for any input where `e.name == null`, so `hx-include="#journal-cursor"` │ silently sends **nothing**. The `cursor` param therefore always arrives empty at │ `app/routers/journal.py:18`. │ │ Consequences, every 5 s poll: │ - `app/routers/journal.py:23` → `lines = 200 if cursor else 100` → always the "no cursor" path │ (100 lines, no `--after-cursor`) │ - `journal.tail()` (`app/journal.py:76`) re-fetches the latest 100 entries │ - `hx-swap="beforeend"` (`index.html:73`) appends the whole batch again │ │ So the JS cursor tracking in `static/js/app.js:148` works fine client-side, but the value never │ reaches the server — exactly the "appends the entire buffer on internal reload" symptom. │ │ ## Plan │ │ 1. **Fix (1 line, template-only, no server restart needed):** add `name="cursor"` to the hidden │ input at `templates/index.html:72`. │ 2. **Verify:** │ - `curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8501/api/journal` → ~100 lines; grab the last `data-cursor` │ - `curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8501/api/journal?cursor="` → only entries newer than that (0 │ on a quiet system) │ - Watch the Journal tab in a browser for ~15 s: no repeated batches │ - `uv run python -m compileall -q app` (no Python changes expected, sanity only) │ │ I also checked the reboot/stale-cursor edge case: `journalctl --after-cursor` with an old │ boot-id cursor doesn't error (tested), so no extra handling needed. │ │ One optional hardening: a rare race remains — submitting the filter form while a 5 s poll is in │ flight can append a stale response after the fresh batch.
