Added mid-plan (docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-26-ask-agent-actions.md,
new Task 9b — image generation from Task 9 is untouched): the user can
ask for any custom report and get a finished PDF, e.g. "give me a PDF
on fuel at The Hills for September", not just a manual export of
whatever is on screen (Task 8).
make_pdf_report({ title, subtitle?, filename? }) is the model's own
"this answer is a finished report" signal, called last once it has
already built the report (headings, narrative, KPI tables quoting tool
display strings, charts via make_chart). extractPdfMeta splits the
meta out the same way extractCharts/extractActionCard already do: the
model gets an ack, the browser gets the full meta via a new `event:
pdf`. The assistant's ask_messages row stores it in the existing
`parsed` json field, so reopening the thread still shows the report
cover and Download button — no schema change.
chat-view.tsx renders a report cover (wordmark, title, subtitle, date,
"Prepared by Ask for {name}") and a prominent "Download PDF · {title}"
button reusing Task 8's answerToPdf (same page-slicing, so a chart is
never cut across pages), and auto-downloads once per turn via
nextPdfTurnToDownload — a pure decision function, unit-tested directly
since this codebase's component tests use renderToStaticMarkup rather
than interactive DOM testing.
Live check skipped: needs a thread, which needs ask_threads (not yet
applied). Covered by unit tests (tool meta, the route's pdf event and
persistence, and the once-per-turn auto-download decision) instead.
