tbenandClaude Opus 5.5 163d9a434c Add dictation and streamed read-aloud to the chat
- A mic in the composer records, transcribes with the bot's
  transcription model (api/admin/bots/transcribe) and writes the text
  into the input at the cursor to edit before sending. Escape cancels;
  recordings aren't stored.
- Every bot message has a read-aloud button that plays
  GET api/admin/bots/speak-message, streamed from the provider as the
  audio is made, so it starts in a couple of seconds. One message plays
  at a time; only the user's own sessions can be read.
- Both buttons stay visible but disabled while the bot has no model for
  them (bot_voice page prop).
- Transcription and speech no longer pick free models automatically:
  they're not available until a model is picked, and Settings says so.
  Transcription lists speech-to-text models only, so the chat-model
  transcript path and its missing-audio check are gone.

# Agent Instructions
This is **Cobble** (`cobble.moduletrace.org`): an open-source crew of small AI worker bots. The design handoff in `assets/handoff/` (gitignored locally: `PRODUCT.md`, `IMPLEMENTATION.md`, `tokens/`) is the starting point for the core concepts and visual language, not the end product. The app is expected to move away from it; when it and the current code or the user disagree, the code and the user win. Unit noun is **bot**, never "agent" or "expert".
## Stack
- **Runtime:** Bun - not Node. Use `bun` commands, never `npm`/`npx`.
- **Framework:** `@moduletrace/bunext` - not Next.js. Routing is filesystem-based under `src/pages/`, served by `Bun.serve` in `src/server.ts`.
- **Database:** `@moduletrace/bun-sqlite` - SQLite database. Schema in `db/schema.ts`, generated types in `db/types/db.ts`. Config in `bun-sqlite.config.ts`.
- **UI:** Tailwind CSS v4 + the `@moduletrace/twui` component library (installed package) + shared components in `src/components/general/`. There is **no** shadcn/ui, no `tailwind.config`, and no `components.json` - twui is the only component system. CSS chain: `src/pages/__root.tsx` imports `src/styles/main.css`, which imports `@moduletrace/twui/base.css` (`@import "tailwindcss"`). Theme tokens (colors/radius/fonts) are overridden via the `@theme inline` block in `src/styles/main.css`.
- **Icons:** `lucide-react`.
- **Validation:** `zod` v4 (`[email protected]`).
- **Branding:** Site name/slug live only in `src/data/site-data.ts`. Logo source of truth is `public/logos/logo.svg` (the ember stone; rendered inline via `BotStone` in `src/components/general/logo-icon.tsx`); browser favicon/assets are generated from it. Handoff brand assets (stones, coordinator, wordmarks, app icon) live in `public/brand/`.
## Entrypoint
`src/server.ts` - turns on SQLite foreign keys (`enableForeignKeys`, so the schema's cascades fire; off by default per connection), runs `bunextInit()`, starts `Bun.serve`, then starts cron:
- `/media/*` short-circuits to the media server handler
- `/ws` upgrades only after `userAuth` succeeds (session frozen into the socket at upgrade time); the `websocket` handler object lives in `src/websocket/`
- everything else goes to `bunext.bunextRequestHandler`
- `ensureDockerNetwork()` makes sure the computers' docker network (`AppData.DockerNetworkName`) exists before the server starts; without docker the process exits (computers are containers, so nothing works without it). Creating a computer's container checks it again first
- `cron()` and the bots queue handler (`botsQueue()`, `src/bots-queue/`) start after the server is up, then `liveRelay()` (`src/live-relay/`, every process, ungated); in production cron and the queue are gated to the `MAIN_SERVER` container
## Commands
| Purpose | Command |
| -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| Dev server | `bun run dev` (runs `bun src/server.ts`) |
| Production | `bun run start` (`NODE_ENV=production bun src/server.ts`) |
| Type-check only | `bun run typecheck` |
| Run tests | `bun run test` |
| Regenerate favicon/brand/PWA assets | `bun run gen:favicon` (runs `src/scripts/generate-brand-assets.ts`) |
| DB schema (tables) | `bun run db:schema` |
| DB admin UI | `bun run db:admin` |
| DB backup | `bun run db:backup` |
| Seed super admin user | `bun run seed` (runs `src/scripts/seed-super-admin.tsx`) |
| Seed sample bot crew | `bun run seed:bots [email]` (runs `src/scripts/seed-bots.ts`, idempotent: adds sample messages to the existing coordinator and the sample workers, skips users who already created workers; assigns the sample workers to them) |
| Query DB (CLI) | `bun llm-code-assistant/query-db.ts "<sql>"` |
| Install | `bun install` |
No linter or formatter configured. `bun run typecheck` and `bun run test` are the verification steps. Tests are colocated `.test.ts`/`.test.tsx` files - run one with `bun test <file>`.
## Querying the Database
Inspect live data with `bun llm-code-assistant/query-db.ts "<sql>"` - a read-only SQL CLI that loads the schema from `db/schema.ts` automatically and prints a normalized JSON envelope (`success`, `payload`, `count`, `insert_return`, `error`, `msg`). Exit code `1` on failure. Use it instead of fishing through ORM code when you need to know what's actually in the database.
## Path Alias
`@/*` resolves from repo root. Import like `@moduletrace/twui/layout/Button`, `@/src/components/general/logo`, `@/src/data/site-data`, `@/db/types/db`.
## Architecture
### Auth
- **Auth guard:** `src/pages/__root.server.ts` - server function that runs on every request.
- No public pages: anything outside the live admin sections (`AdminSections` in `src/dict/admin-sections-dict.ts`: `/admin/bots`, `/admin/workspaces`, `/admin/routines`, `/admin/logs`, `/admin/help`, `/admin/settings`) and `/auth` redirects to `AdminHomePath` (`/admin/bots`). `/admin` itself only redirects there
- No users at all: everything redirects to `/auth/signup` (first-run super admin setup, `grabHasUsers`); once a user exists `/auth/signup` redirects away
- Redirects unauthenticated `/admin/*` → `/auth/login`
- Unknown `/admin/settings/*` pages (not in `SettingsPages`, `src/utils/is-unknown-settings-path.ts`) redirect to `/admin/settings/general`
- Already-authenticated users hitting `/auth/*` (except paths containing `/logout`) are redirected to `/admin/bots`; login and signup land there too
- **Session:** encrypted auth cookie (AES-256-GCM, PBKDF2-derived key from `ENCRYPTION_KEY`/`ENCRYPTION_SALT`) plus a CSRF cookie. `userAuth` (`src/functions/backend/auth/user-auth.ts`) decrypts, checks expiry (`AuthExpiryDays`, 60) against the embedded `date`, verifies the CSRF cookie against the token embedded in the session (constant-time, `src/utils/safe-compare.ts`), and re-reads `user_types` from the DB every request (revoked users lose access immediately).
- **Login:** local install, so email or username plus password only (`api/auth/password-login.ts`, rate limited), no emailed code step and no emailed password reset. Google login (`api/auth/google-login.ts`) is for existing accounts only and shows when `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID` is set; it never creates accounts. Sessions are issued by `src/functions/backend/auth/login-user.ts` (supports `reauth` for silent refresh without audit logging).
- **Signup:** first-run only. `api/auth/signup.tsx` refuses once any user exists, creates the super admin (`create-super-admin-user.ts`, so user #1) with a required password, and logs them in. No Google signup. `bun run seed` (needs `SEED_SUPER_ADMIN_PASSWORD`) is the headless alternative.
- **Passwords:** bcrypt hashes live in the separate `user_passwords` table (never in `users`; blocked from the CRUD API via `src/dict/private-tables.ts`). Set/change at `/admin/settings/change-password`.
- **Auth layout:** `/auth/*` (except `/auth/logout`) renders in `src/layouts/auth/` with no site header/footer.
- **User types** (`UserTypes` in `src/dict/user-types-dict.ts`, the only place they're defined): `super_admin` (the first account, runs the install), `admin` (manages members; only the super admin grants it), `member` (a regular user: new users start with it), `read_only`, `revoked` (can't sign in). A user needs at least one to sign in. Admins grant and remove `member`, `read_only` and `revoked` on anyone but admins and the super admin.
- **RBAC:** `src/utils/check-user-access.ts` (includes/excludes primitive, `super_admin` bypass) plus the declarative engine in `src/utils/rbac/` - `userTypeAssignment` interprets `UserTypeAssignmentMatrix`/`UserTypeDeletionMatrix` in `src/dict/user-types-dict.ts`. `read_only` users are blocked from non-GET CRUD in the router.
- **Audit trail:** `src/functions/backend/logger.ts` - `logEvent`/`logError` write to the `logs` table. Signup, login, Google login, logout, cron runs, and WebSocket connects are all logged.
### WebSocket
- Upgrades on `/ws` with `userAuth` validation (401 if not logged in); `WebSocketSession` (`src/websocket/types.ts`) carries `{ user, user_types }`.
- Rooms declared in `src/dict/websocket-rooms.ts` -> typed `WebsocketRoomType`. Store in `src/websocket/(data)/rooms.ts`: `WeakMap` for per-client metadata, `Map<room, Set<ws>>` for lookups, empty rooms deleted. Join/leave/broadcast in `src/websocket/(functions)/`.
- Message dispatch in `handle-message.ts`: `client:ping` → `server:pong`, unknown events → `error`. The twui `useWebSocket` hook sends a raw `"twui::ping"` keepalive string - non-JSON messages are ignored.
- Client handlers: `src/websocket/client-requests/<event>/index.ts` (folder-per-event), replying through `wsSendData`.
### Cron
`src/cron/index.ts` is the single registration point called from `server.ts`. Tasks live in one folder each (`src/cron/<name>/index.ts`) as default-exported async functions, scheduled with in-process `Bun.cron` via `registerCronJob({ title, schedule, task, run_on_start, quiet })` (`src/cron/register-cron-job.ts`), which logs before each run (unless `quiet`) and catches/logs errors. Schedules are cron expressions or nicknames (`@hourly`) interpreted in UTC; runs never overlap. Gated in production by `MAIN_SERVER`. The bundled `heartbeat` task doubles as a DB-liveness probe; `sync-harness-models` refreshes the model catalog hourly; `run-cron-jobs` (every minute, quiet) queues the bots' due schedules (see Schedules).
### Admin CRUD API
`api/admin/crud/[[...paths]].ts` dispatches `GET/POST/PUT/DELETE` by table name: `userAuth` → `read_only` GET-only gate → per-table switch → generic fallback (super admin only). Tables without custom handlers fall through to generic CRUD with zero code. Customize a table by adding `src/pages/api/admin/crud/(tables)/<table>/` with `index.ts` + per-method files, then add a `case` in the router.
### Bots (the chat shell)
- **Access (the crew is shared):** bots, workspaces and computers belong to the install, not to a user (their `user_id` is only who created them, not a foreign key). Nobody reaches a bot until a super admin or admin grants it: `bot_users` (a worker assigned to a user, for its own chat) and `workspace_users` (a user added to a workspace, to chat with every worker in it there). `crewRole` (`src/utils/rbac/crew-role.ts`): `super_admin` reaches everything and is the only one who ever sees, chats with or edits the coordinator; `admin` reaches every worker and workspace; anyone else (`member`) only their grants. `canManageCrew` (super admins and admins) creates, edits and deletes workers and workspaces, sets their models and pictures, and hands out access (the Bots and Workspaces groups on a user's settings page, `user-access-groups.tsx`, each added or taken away at once by `api/admin/users/add-access` and `remove-access` through `setUserGrant`); the structural DB helpers check it themselves (`assertCrewManager`, `src/functions/backend/db/access/`). The SQL conditions live in `src/utils/crew-access/` (`chatBotsSql`, `workspacesSql`, `workspaceBotsSql`, `computersSql`, tested against SQLite) and back `grabChatBot` (its own chat), `grabUserBot` (anywhere: its own chat or a workspace), `grabUserWorkspace(s)`, `grabWorkspaceBot`, `grabBots` and `grabUserComputer(s)`. Conversations are per user (`bot_sessions.user_id`): a job runs for the user whose session it's in (`runBotJob` reads it), with that user's memory and only what they reach. A bot's face and status line are per user too (`bot_user_faces`, set by `setBotFace` for the job's user, `grabJobUserId`; no row is idle), so needs-you or working only shows to the user the job is for; every bot read for a page overlays the viewer's (`botFaceSql`, `src/utils/bot-face-sql.ts`). Live updates go to the session's user (`pushToSessionUser`), a face change to its user, and a bot change (its computer) to everyone who sees it (`pushBotUpdated`, `grabBotAudience`, each with their own face and active task); its status line never names a task (`BotTaskStatusLine`). Bot and workspace pictures are served to whoever sees them (`grabSharedPictureMedia`). A member with nothing granted lands on an empty `/admin/bots`; a workspace's dashboard is open to everyone in it, its settings link and computers' settings links only to `canManageCrew`. `src/scripts/share-crew.ts` (safe to rerun) moved an install from one crew per user to this.
- **Tables:** `bots` (`kind` worker|coordinator, `hue`, `role`, `system_prompt` (the bot's core instructions, markdown)), `bot_user_faces` (`face`, `status_line` per bot and user), `bot_sessions`, `bot_messages`, `bot_tasks`, `bot_task_steps`. Enums in `src/dict/bot-dict.ts`.
- **Threads and sessions:** each user has one conversation with a bot in its own chat and one per workspace it's in (the coordinator in every workspace). Each is split into `bot_sessions` (`user_id`, `bot_id`, `workspace_id` null for its own chat, `status` active|closed, `title` and `summary` written by the bot from the first exchange, `summary_message_count` (how many messages the summary covers), `previous_session_id`, `unread`, `last_activity_at`); `bot_messages`, `bot_tasks` and `bots_queue` carry `session_id` and `workspace_id`. Helpers in `src/functions/backend/db/bot-sessions/`: `ensureBotSession` (the active one, else a new one; `rollover` starts the next once it has `AppData.BotSessionMaxMessages`), `startBotSession`, `reopenBotSession`, `grabBotSessions` (search over title, summary and message text), `grabUserConversation` (access and membership), `grabConversationProps` (the conversation pages' props). Once a session's first exchange is in, `name-bot-session.ts` has the bot name it (the title the rail and list show) and write its summary, after the reply is pushed; a new session's first reply gets the previous one's summary (`grab-session-carry-over.ts`), rewritten first when it covers fewer messages than that session ended with. The header's sessions icon (`src/components/general/bot-sessions-modal.tsx`) lists, searches, starts and reopens sessions, and the new-session icon beside it (`(partials)/new-session-button.tsx`) starts one (`api/admin/bots/list-sessions`, `new-session`, `reopen-session`). The rail lists the open bot's latest `AppData.RailRecentSessions` sessions under its row (`rail-bot-sessions.tsx`), and once there are more, "All sessions" opens the same modal. Unread, the rail's last message and activity are per thread, from its sessions. Job results go into the job's own session, even after it closes.
- **Coordinator:** the install has exactly one `kind: coordinator` bot, the super admin's alone, that coordinates the crew and delegates to every worker. It is created at signup (`bun run seed`) and, as a fallback, by the super admin's `/admin/bots`, all via `ensureCoordinatorBot` (`src/functions/backend/db/bots/ensure-coordinator-bot.ts`, idempotent). Name in `CoordinatorBotName` (`src/dict/bot-dict.ts`). Its default prompt is `CoordinatorSystemPrompt` (`src/data/coordinator-system-prompt.ts`): attached at creation, and backfilled onto a coordinator whose prompt is empty, never over an edited one.
- **Routes:** `/admin/bots` ensures the coordinator and redirects the super admin to its chat (`/admin/bots/1` on a fresh install), anyone else to their latest bot, else their first workspace, else an empty page; `/admin/bots/[bot_id]` renders the conversation (header, thread and composer, the last two held to 760px; there is no right panel); `/admin/bots/[bot_id]/models` is a worker bot's own model settings, for super admins and admins (the coordinator's redirects to its chat); `/admin/workspaces/[workspace_id]` is a workspace's dashboard (`(sections)/workspace-dashboard.tsx`: read-only picture, name, description and context, latest activity, bots with their per-workspace instructions and memory, computers; its header links into `/admin/settings/workspaces/[workspace_id]`, whose `workspace-overview.tsx` has the editable groups) and `/admin/workspaces/[workspace_id]/bots/[bot_id]` is the same `Conversation` section scoped to the workspace (`pageProps.workspace`; only the coordinator and member bots). All render in the full-bleed `src/layouts/bots/` layout (rail of conversations + user popover), which `__root.tsx` uses for every `/admin/*` page.
- **Server:** `src/functions/backend/db/bots/` (`grab-bots`, `grab-bot-messages`, `grab-active-bot-task`, `grab-user-bot`, `create-bot`, `insert-user-message`). `api/admin/bots/send-message.ts` posts a user message to a bot the session user chats with (zod: `src/schemas/bot-schema.ts`), queues the bot's reply (`enqueueBotReply`) and wakes the queue (`src/bots-queue/wake-bots-queue.ts`; never import `src/bots-queue/index.ts` from a page or API route, it pulls the bunext runtime into the page bundles). `upload-attachment.ts` stores one file for the next message (private `media` row, paradigm `bot-attachment`, type from `attachmentFileKind`, documents get `text_content`, limits in `AppData.BotAttachment*`) and `send-message` takes their `media_ids` (checked to be the user's own by `grabAttachableMedia`), linked in `bot_message_media`; messages carry `attachments` (`BotMessageWithAttachments`). `mark-read.ts` clears a session's unread when a message arrives in the open conversation; `session-messages.ts` returns a session's latest messages, which the open conversation polls every `AppData.BotReplyCatchUpMs` while a reply is due (`use-reply-catch-up`), so a reply whose live push was missed (socket down) still lands without a reload (replayed as a `server:bot-message`, so the rail and unread take it too); `create-bot.ts` adds a worker (and puts it in a workspace when given one); `save-harness-settings.ts` saves a worker bot's models.
- **Message rendering:** bot messages are markdown, rendered with `react-markdown` + `remark-gfm` (raw HTML never rendered) through the twui-based map in `[bot_id]/(data)/message-markdown-components.tsx` (`markdown-link`, `markdown-list`, `markdown-code-block` partials). User messages stay plain text.
- **Attachments and thinking:** the composer uploads files as they're picked, pasted or dropped (`use-composer-attachments`), shows them as chips, and sends once none is still uploading; the thread shows images as thumbnails and other files as chips. Replies read the files of the last `BotReplyAttachmentMessages` messages with any (`load-attachment-parts.ts`: images and audio as parts, documents as their text up to `BotAttachmentMaxTextChars`, videos as a note); older ones are only named. Tasks don't get the files yet. While the user has the last word in a session (every user message queues a reply, so this needs no face and shows even while the bot works in another session) or the bot waits for a model (`BotWaitingStatusLine`) or a task for its computer (`BotComputerBusyStatusLine`), `BotThinkingRow` sits under the last message; while a task runs it reads "<name> is working…" with the task's latest step, and a reply working through tools shows its latest step under "is thinking…" (`use-reply-progress`). A coordinator with no workers gets `CoordinatorSoloNote` instead of `CoordinatorReplyNote`, so it never claims to have handed work to a worker. Live notices come from the process that ran the job at once, and from every other process through the live relay.
- **Voice:** the composer's mic (`(partials)/composer-voice-button.tsx`, `use-voice-recorder`, shown once the browser can record, disabled with a note while transcription has no model to run on for the bot there, `bot_voice` page prop, from `resolveHarnessCandidates`) dictates: the recording goes to `api/admin/bots/transcribe.ts` (`transcribeAudio` with the bot's models, after `grabUserConversation`) and the text lands in the input at the cursor, to edit and send; Escape cancels, `AppData.ComposerVoiceMaxMs` stops it. Each bot message has a play button (disabled with a note while speech has no model) (`speak-message-button.tsx`, one player per conversation via `SpeakMessageContext` / `use-speak-message`) that plays `GET api/admin/bots/speak-message.ts?message_id=` straight in an `<audio>` (`speakText` streamed through as the provider makes it, so it starts in a couple of seconds; a failure answers in JSON, which the hook fetches again to show; only the user's own sessions, `grabSpeakableMessage`; text from `speechText`, cut at `AppData.SpeechMaxChars`). Neither recordings nor audio are stored. Harness errors (`HarnessError`, safe to show) come back as the buttons' titles.
- **Pictures:** a bot or workspace can have a picture (`image_media_id`, a private `media` row, paradigm `bot-image`/`workspace-image`), set or removed through `api/admin/set-profile-image.ts` (`setProfileImage`, the old one deleted; served at `profileImageUrls`). `BotAvatar` shows a bot's picture as a rounded square, else its stone; its hue still applies. `WorkspaceAvatar` shows a workspace's, else the workspace icon. A bot is edited from the header avatar (`(partials)/bot-profile-modal.tsx`, the same `BotForm` as adding one, `api/admin/bots/update-bot.ts`; the coordinator keeps its name and stays hue-less).
- **Avatars:** `BotStone` (`src/components/general/bot-stone.tsx`) renders the stone inline from `src/data/stone-geometry.ts`, hue as a fill token, face (`idle|working|done|asleep|needs-you`) drawn as eyes. The coordinator is hue-less (ink body, paper eyes; inverts in dark). Never put a stone in a circle/badge or add outline/shadow. Wordmark is vector (`Wordmark`, `src/data/wordmark-paths.ts`), never live text.
- **Copy helpers:** `src/utils/crew-status.ts` (`3 working · 1 needs you`, "Three bots are working. One needs you."), `src/utils/relative-time.ts` (relative timestamps only).
- **Prompt and memory (self-learning):** a bot has `system_prompt` (core instructions) and a separate core `memory` (markdown, general knowledge about its job, the same for every user it works for, never about one user). What it remembers about a user lives in `bot_user_memories` (one row per bot and user, seen only by that user's runs; `grab-bot-user-memory`, `update-bot-user-memory`), like workspace memory stays in its workspace. The bot rewrites them as it adapts (`update-bot-system-prompt`, `update-bot-memory` in `src/functions/backend/db/bots/`; whole-text replace, capped at `AppData.PromptMaxLength`). `grab-bot-prompt` builds the full prompt for the run's user via `composeBotPrompt` (`src/utils/compose-bot-prompt.ts`): core instructions, then (in a workspace only) `# Workspace: <name>` with its description and `system_prompt`, the bot's `# Your instructions in <name>` (`workspace_bots.system_prompt`), `# Memory`, `# Memory about the user`, then `# Memory in <name>` (`workspace_bots.memory`). `update_memory` saves to `user` by default (`workspace` in a workspace) and to `core` only for what holds for everyone. In a workspace the bot learns into the workspace's instructions and memory by default (`scope: workspace` on `update_instructions`/`update_memory`, `WorkspaceLearningNote`) and into its core ones only when told to, or after suggesting it. `src/scripts/move-bot-memory-to-owners.ts` (run once per install) moved core memory written before this into the owner's.
- **Queue:** every bot job goes through `bots_queue`, with `kind` (`BotJobKinds`): `reply` (answers the user in chat, no task row) or `task` (long-running work, typically on a computer). Long-running work goes through `bots_queue`, a bun-sqlite `isQueue` table worked with the native `BunSQLite.queue` API (`status` pending|processing|completed|failed, `attempts`, `available_at`, `locked_at`/`locked_by`, `last_error`; options in `AppData.BotQueue*`). Not every message needs a job: the bot replies right away that it's on it and `enqueueBotJob` queues the brief (`instructions`, `params`, optional `message_id`/`computer_id`, the computer checked against the bot's access; a `bot_tasks` row is created unless `task_id` is given). DB helpers in `src/functions/backend/db/bots-queue/`: `claimBotJobs`, `updateBotJob` (renews the lock, saves `progress`/`checkpoint`; false once lost or cancelled), `completeBotJob` (result message, task done, face done/needs-you for the job's user), `failBotJob` (backoff retry, or `fatal`; out of attempts posts a needs-you message via `notifyBotJobFailed`), `cancelBotJob` (failed with `BotJobCancelledError`, `src/dict/bot-queue-dict.ts`), `releaseWorkerBotJobs`. Every model turn of a job is a step in `bots_queue_updates` (`kind` tool|note, one-line `text`, JSON `metadata`; tool names, never arguments; `describe-job-step.ts`), written through the job context's `report` (the text loop's `onStep`), which also sets `progress` and pushes `server:bot-job-update` (`BotJobUpdateData`). Steps are deleted with their job when it's pruned. The active task's latest `AppData.BotJobUpdatesShown` steps ride on `BotTaskWithSteps.updates` (`grabBotJobUpdates`); the conversation (`bot_task` page prop, `use-task-progress`) shows the latest one under `BotThinkingRow`'s "<name> is working…" while a task runs. Step text is the first line the model wrote, else plain labels for its tools (`JobStepToolLabels` in `src/dict/bot-queue-dict.ts`; other tools in words, an MCP tool as "Using Exa search (web search exa)").
- **Queue handler:** `src/bots-queue/index.ts`, started from `server.ts` after cron and gated the same way. It releases its own cut-off jobs on startup (stable worker `AppData.BotQueueWorker`), then polls every `BotQueuePollMs`: reports jobs bun-sqlite failed on a lock timeout (`report-lost-bot-jobs`), claims per kind (`claimBotJobs` mirrors bun-sqlite's atomic claim plus `kind`, since `queue.claim` has no filter) up to `BotQueueReplyConcurrency` replies and `BotQueueConcurrency` tasks on separate slots, and runs each with `processBotJob` (heartbeat at a quarter of the lock timeout, abort on cancel/loss, one task per computer and one reply per session via `createKeyLock`, so a bot's other sessions answer side by side; a task waiting for its busy computer shows face `asleep` with `BotComputerBusyStatusLine`; face `working` once it starts, outcome pushed live; a job finishing while others for that user still run puts back the running one's face, `grabRunningBotJobFace`). The actual work is `run-bot-job.ts` (`BotJobRunner`, context in `types.ts`), which dispatches to `run-bot-reply.ts` and `run-bot-task.ts`. Throw `BotJobFatalError` for failures retrying can't fix. When every model is resting (`HarnessError.resting`, nothing was tried) the job is put back with `deferBotJob` until the first comes back, its attempt refunded and the bot's face `asleep`; other retryable harness errors retry no sooner than their `retry_at`. The `prune-bots-queue` cron deletes finished jobs after `BotQueueRetentionDays`.
- **Live updates:** server push only. `sendToUser` (`src/websocket/(functions)/send-to-user.ts`) sends to one user's sockets; `pushBotNotice` sends `server:bot-message` (the message row, user messages too, for other tabs) and `server:bot-updated` (`BotUpdatedData`: face, status line, active task). The bots layout opens one socket (twui `useWebSocket`); components listen with `useServerEvent` (`src/hooks/`), and `useLiveBots` keeps the rail and header current. The conversation dedupes messages by id. Every process also runs `liveRelay` (`src/live-relay/`): every `AppData.LiveRelayPollMs` it reads new `bot_messages`, new `bots_queue_updates`, changed faces and changed bots from the database and pushes them to its own sockets, so work done by another process still shows live; clients drop what they already have. `server:bot-updated` carries the bot's `computer_id` when known, which keeps the header's computer in step across tabs, and its `workspace_ids` after a membership change, so a workspace's crew drops a bot that left it. A bot that joins the crew or a workspace is pushed as `server:bot-created` (`BotCreatedData`: its rail row, the workspaces it's in, and whether it belongs in that user's own chat), from the tool that created it and from the live relay for other processes, so the rail lists it without a reload. A workspace a bot created is pushed the same way as `server:workspace-created` (`WorkspaceCreatedData`: its rail row), from the tool and from the live relay. A deleted bot is pushed as `server:bot-removed` (`BotRemovedData`) to the audience read before the delete, since its assignments go with it, so its rail row goes at once. A deleted workspace is pushed the same way as `server:workspace-removed` (`WorkspaceRemovedData`), read before the delete too. A rail row's subtitle is the bot's status line while it has one, else (coordinator) the crew counts while a worker is busy or needs you, else its last message as plain text (`src/utils/message-preview.ts`).
- **Workspaces:** `workspaces` (`name`, `description`, `system_prompt` shared by every bot in it, `computer_id` its default computer (not a foreign key), `archived`), with bots assigned through `workspace_bots` (plus that bot's `system_prompt` and `memory` there; the coordinator is an implicit member) and computers through `workspace_computers`. The first computer linked becomes the default; the user (workspace settings, chat header), any bot there (`set_workspace_computer`) or the coordinator can switch it. A workspace with no computer has none: tasks needing one fail. Workspace models (`workspace_harness_settings`) win over a bot's own, then the defaults. Helpers in `src/functions/backend/db/workspaces/` (`create-workspace`, `update-workspace`, `delete-workspace`, `add/remove-bot-*`, `update-workspace-bot`, `add/remove-computer-*`, `set-workspace-computer`, `grab-user-workspaces`, `grab-workspace-bots`, `grab-workspace-computers`, `grab-workspace-activity`), all access-checked against the session user, the structural ones for super admins and admins only; API in `api/admin/workspaces/`. The coordinator sets a member's instructions there with `set_bot_workspace_instructions`, creates a workspace with `create_workspace`, and changes any workspace's name, description or context with `update_workspace` (chat replies, and its own tasks so findings it was asked to record land in the workspace; a chat-created one is pushed as `server:workspace-created`).
- **Computers:** a computer is an AIO sandbox in its own docker container on the `AppData.DockerNetworkName` network. `containers` records every docker container the app knows about except the main app container (`name` doubles as the hostname, plus `docker_id`, `image`, `network`, `port`, `status`, `metadata`). `computers` (the install's, `kind` main|sandbox, `container_id`) and `bot_computers` (direct access). The app creates and manages every computer's container over the docker socket (`src/functions/backend/docker/`; `DOCKER_SOCKET` or `AppData.DockerSocketPath`): `createComputer` records it and `provisionComputer` (in the background, status `creating`, then the container's or `failed` with `metadata.error`, pushed as `server:computer-updated`) pulls `AppData.ComputerImage`, binds the home dir and starts `<ComputerContainerPrefix>-<id>` limited to the computer's `cpus` and `memory_mb` (set at creation, default `AppData.ComputerDefaultCpus`/`ComputerDefaultMemoryMb`: 1 CPU, 2 GB), attached to the network in the same create call, with a docker health check (`AppData.ComputerHealthcheck`: the sandbox API on `ComputerPort` and its browser); the computer stays `creating` until it passes (`waitForHealthyContainer`), then records its IP address on the network (`containers.ip_address`, refreshed by `sync-computers`). `updateComputer` (`api/admin/computers/update-computer`) saves name, description and resources; new resources stop, remove and recreate the container (`provisionComputer`), the home dir kept. A computer's home (`/home/gem`) is `DATA_DIR/computers/<id>` (`AppData.ComputerDataDir`, owned by uid 1000); deleting the computer (`deleteComputer`, never the main one) removes the container and keeps that directory. Run in docker, the app resolves host paths from its own container's mounts and joins the network; outside docker (dev) it can't resolve container hostnames, so it reaches them at their IP address (`pickReachableAddress`: hostname first, then the IP, the pick cached for `AppData.ComputerAddressCacheMs`). Only super admins create, delete or retry computers (`api/admin/computers/`). The `sync-computers` cron records container states every five minutes. The install has one main computer, created at signup (`bun run seed`) and as a fallback by the super admin's `/admin/bots` via `ensureMainComputer` (`src/functions/backend/db/computers/ensure-main-computer.ts`, idempotent), which grants the coordinator access; with `MAIN_COMPUTER_URL` set (dev) it isn't provisioned. That one grant can't be removed (`isLockedComputerAccess`, enforced in `remove-bot-from-computer` and the `bot_computers` CRUD handler); every other grant can. A bot's effective computers (`grab-bot-computers`): the workspace's computers in a workspace, its default first; in its own chat, its direct grants and those of the workspaces it's attached to (the coordinator's are every computer), the one it's on first: `bots.computer_id` (not a foreign key; null or a lost grant means its main one), so `computers[0]` is where its tasks run by default. The user switches it from the chat header (`(partials)/bot-computers-modal.tsx`, a ghost icon beside the model icon; the header names the current computer and the text model and provider under the bot's name) or by clicking a computer the bot named in a message: bots write `[computer:ID]` (`src/utils/computer-ref.ts`, turned into `#computer-ID` links by `link-computer-refs.ts`, rendered by `(partials)/computer-ref-chip.tsx`), both sharing `BotComputersContext` / `use-bot-computers`, saved by `api/admin/bots/set-computer.ts` (`setBotComputer`). Enums in `src/dict/computer-dict.ts`.
- **Opening a computer:** the app serves each computer to whoever sees it (`computersSql`) under `/computers/<id>/` (`ComputerProxyPrefix`): `src/server.ts` hands those paths to `handleComputerProxy` (`src/functions/server/computers/`: `userAuth`, access via `grabUserComputer`, then the sandbox's address from `grabComputerMcpUrl`), which fetches plain requests (app session cookies dropped, `X-Forwarded-Host/Proto/Prefix` set so the sandbox builds its links and CDP address under the prefix, framing headers and redirects fixed) and bridges websockets (`computerProxySocket`, dispatched from `src/websocket/` when `ws.data.proxy` is set). `ComputerView` (`src/components/general/computer-view.tsx`) shows a computer in one of `ComputerViewModes` (browser `/browser-ui`, terminal `/terminal`, code `/code-server/`, desktop: the sandbox's noVNC at `/vnc/vnc.html`, its socket pointed back through the proxy by the `{prefix}` placeholder that `computerViewUrl` fills in; desktop is the only view with Chrome's toolbar (extensions) and a clipboard panel, since the browser view streams pages over CDP and hides `chrome-extension://` targets; more of the sandbox's apps can be added there), keeping visited modes loaded. In the chat, `(partials)/computer-viewer-modal.tsx` shows it, opened from a computer card's open button in the computers modal or a take-over button (`openComputer` on `BotComputersContext`).
- **Take-over:** a bot asks the user to take over a computer with `ask_user_to_take_over` (`src/harness/tools/computer/ask-to-take-over-tool.ts`, chat replies and tasks, defaulting to the task's computer). It writes `[take-over:ID:mode]` (`src/utils/take-over-ref.ts`; `withTakeOverRefs` adds it if the bot left it out and flags the message needs-you), linked by `link-computer-refs.ts` and rendered by `(partials)/take-over-chip.tsx`. The viewer then offers "Hand back to <bot>", which sends a chat message so the bot carries on; a task stops and reports instead of waiting.
- **Health:** `containers.status` is docker's state with `running` narrowed by the health check (`starting`, `unhealthy`; `inspectDockerContainer`). Only a `running` computer is reached: `grabComputerMcpUrl` returns `ready: false` otherwise (re-reading a stale state from docker first, `refreshComputerContainer`, which `sync-computers` uses too), and callers say why (`computerNotReadyMessage`).
- **Schedules (routines in the UI):** `cron_jobs` (per user and bot, `workspace_id` null for its own chat, `title`, `instructions` (the brief), `schedule` (a `Bun.cron` expression, UTC), `computer_id` (not a foreign key; null runs on the bot's current one), `enabled`, `max_runs` (1 for a one-off), `run_count`, `next_run_at`, `last_run_at`, `last_job_id`, `last_error`). Helpers in `src/functions/backend/db/cron-jobs/` (`create-cron-job`, `update-cron-job`, `delete-cron-job`, `grab-cron-jobs`, `grab-user-cron-job`, `fire-cron-job`), all ownership-checked, and with `bot_id` limited to that bot's own. `nextCronRun` (`src/utils/next-cron-run.ts`, `Bun.cron.parse`) validates a schedule and refuses one that runs more often than `AppData.CronJobMinIntervalMs`; a bot has at most `AppData.CronJobMaxPerBot`. Every bot gets `create_schedule`, `list_schedules`, `update_schedule`, `delete_schedule` (`grabBotTools`, every run; descriptions via `describe-cron-job.ts`). The `run-cron-jobs` cron fires due ones (`fireCronJob`: claims the run atomically by moving `next_run_at`, skips it while the last run's job is still open, queues the brief as a task with `enqueueBotJob` in the bot's active session there, turns off after `max_runs` or when there's no next run, keeps why it couldn't in `last_error`, logs each run under `cron`). A run missed while the server was down runs once, then carries on from now. `/admin/routines` lists them (pause/resume, edit, delete; `api/admin/routines/update-routine`, `delete-routine`); bots create them from chat.
- **Not built yet:** task steps (nothing writes `bot_task_steps` yet).
### Production container
`deploy/run-app-container.sh` builds the image and (re)runs the app's container (`deploy/deploy-prod.sh` calls it on the server); rerun it to update. The app container and every computer container share the `cobble` network. Mounts: `.env` at `/app/.env` (read only; bun loads it), the host data dir (`COBBLE_DATA_DIR`, default `/data/cobble`) at `/data`, and the docker socket. Everything that must survive an update lives on `/data`: media and computers' home dirs (`DATA_DIR=/data`), the database with its backups and exports (`DB_DIR=/data/db`, read by `bun-sqlite.config.ts`; the schema always comes from `db/schema.ts`), and bun-sqlite's live schema record (`entrypoint.sh` links `/app/.bun-sqlite` there). `MAIN_SERVER=1` is set on that one container.
### Envs
Envs are set in Settings, under Environment (super admin only), not in `.env`. Table `envs` (private): `key`, encrypted `value`, `description`, `paradigm` (`EnvParadigms`: general, workspace, computer) with `workspace_id`/`computer_id`, `secret`, `expose_to_computers`. One per key and scope, enforced in `saveEnv` (`src/functions/backend/db/envs/`), since SQLite unique constraints treat NULL ids as distinct. Decrypted rows are cached per process (`grabAllEnvs`; `saveEnv`/`deleteEnv` clear it).
- **App settings** (`EnvDict` in `src/dict/env-dict.ts`: `MAIN_COMPUTER_URL`, the `VAPID_*` Web Push keys and every provider preset's `key_env`) are what the app reads, through `grabEnv({ key })`: the general value, else `process.env`, so an existing `.env` still works. General only, never on computers. `ProcessOnlyEnvKeys` (`ENCRYPTION_KEY`/`SALT`, `PORT`, `DATA_DIR`, `MAIN_SERVER`) can't be saved: they encrypt the table or are read before the database opens.
- **Bot and computer envs** are any other key. `grabComputerEnvs` resolves one run's set (`resolveScopedEnvs`): computer beats workspace beats general; workspaces are the non-archived ones the computer shares with the run's bot, oldest winning a tie. `openComputerTools` writes them to `~/.cobble/env` and `env.json` on the computer (owner only, rewritten every run) over the sandbox's REST API (`writeComputerEnv`); the sandbox's shells read no profile, so `withComputerEnv` makes `sandbox_execute_bash` source the file and `sandbox_execute_code` (Python, JavaScript) load the JSON, invisibly to the model. Bots get keys and descriptions in the task prompt, never values, and every computer tool result is passed through `redactSecrets` (each secret value shown as `[KEY]`).
- **API:** `api/admin/envs/` (`save-env`, `delete-env`), super admin only, logged by key, each returning `grabEnvsOverview` (secret values left out; a secret is only replaced, never read back).
### PWA and notifications
- **Generated assets:** `public/manifest.webmanifest`, `public/icons/*.png` and `public/offline.html` are generated from `public/logos/logo.svg` and the theme tokens by `bun run gen:favicon` (`src/scripts/generate-brand-assets.ts` reads `src/styles/main.css`, so the manifest colors and the offline page never drift from the theme). The outputs are committed like the favicons. `src/data/pwa-data.ts` holds the shared paths, icon list, start path (`/admin/bots`) and shortcuts. The apple touch icon is opaque on paper (a transparent one renders black on iOS).
- **Head and install:** `src/pages/__root.tsx` `Head` links the manifest, sets the apple/mobile meta tags and renders `PwaInitScript`, which captures `beforeinstallprompt` before hydration (twui's hook reads it later), points `theme-color` at `--c-paper` (following the theme without repeating the color), and rewrites bunext's fixed viewport meta to add `viewport-fit=cover` and `interactive-widget=resizes-content`. `use-install-prompt` exposes installable/standalone/iOS state; the rail user menu shows Install app while installable, hides once installed, and opens `install-app-modal` with the Safari Share steps on iOS.
- **Service worker:** `public/sw.js`, served by `src/server.ts` through `handlePwaFile` with `no-store` and `Service-Worker-Allowed: /` (bunext's one-hour public cache would delay every deploy, including through Cloudflare). Navigations are network-only with `public/offline.html` as the fallback; authenticated HTML is never cached. `/.bunext/`, `/public/`, icons and logos are stale-while-revalidate; `/api/`, `/ws`, `/media/`, `/computers/` are never intercepted. `ServiceWorkerRegistrar` in `__root.tsx` registers it in production only (development HMR is never cached) and offers a reload when a new version waits; it never reloads on its own, so a running reply isn't cut off.
- **Phone shell:** below `md` the rail is a 280px slide-over with a scrim, Escape to close, and a close on every route change (`RailDrawerContext`); it is a 64px icon rail at `md` and 260px at `lg`. Rail internals use the `@container` `@rail:` variant (`--container-rail` in `src/styles/main.css`), not viewport `lg:`, so the drawer shows the full rail. `RailDrawerButton` sits in both pane headers. The shell is `h-dvh` with safe-area insets, and the headers/thread/composer use mobile padding.
- **Connection recovery:** twui's `useWebSocket` stops retrying after three attempts, so `LiveSocket` is remounted on `online`, `pageshow` and a hidden tab becoming visible (`use-connection-epoch`). `useOnlineStatus` drives the offline strip and disables sending: nothing is queued offline.
- **Web Push:** `push_subscriptions` (one row per endpoint and user; the endpoint is unique and a capability URL, never sent to the client) and `user_presence` (one row per user, refreshed by the socket keepalive in `src/websocket/index.ts`). VAPID keys are app settings in the `envs` table (`VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY` not secret, `VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY` secret), generated by `ensureVapidKeys` on the main server's first start; the subject is `SiteData.SiteURL`. `pushBotNotice` is the one trigger: bot messages (never the user's) and a needs-you face change without a message. It is skipped while `user_presence.last_seen_at` is within `AppData.PushPresenceWindowMs`, so an app open anywhere wins. `src/dict/push-dict.ts` owns payload limits and tags (one conversation replaces its own notification); sending never blocks or fails the job, 404/410 removes the device, and other failures are recorded on the subscription. API in `api/admin/push/` (subscribe, unsubscribe, test, remove-device, overview); Settings > Notifications (`notifications/`) has the per-device switch, a test send, and every device this user has. Permission is only asked from the switch (a denial is hard to undo, and iOS requires the gesture); iOS also needs the installed app. Development has no service worker, so the page says notifications need the installed production app.
- **Risks and notes:** push needs HTTPS (or localhost). Cloudflare never caches `/sw.js` (no-store). The viewport rewrite is a workaround for bunext's fixed meta and stays defensive (no-op if the tag is gone); iOS Safari ignores `interactive-widget`, so its on-screen keyboard overlays the composer rather than resizing the page. Notification bodies are short message previews, so they can appear on a lock screen; there is no per-device mute beyond turning notifications off. Presence is per user, not per device: an open desktop suppresses a phone until it has been closed for `PushPresenceWindowMs` (deliberate). Notifications are best effort: no retry queue, and a failed send is logged and recorded on the subscription. Live events missed while disconnected are not replayed, except the conversation's reply catch-up for a pending reply; opening the conversation refetches. The drawer is not a focus trap.
### Harness (the model layer)
`src/harness/` is the brain: every model call goes through it. Install-wide, managed by super admins at `/admin/settings/models`.
- **Harnesses** (`Harnesses` in `src/dict/harness-dict.ts`): `text` (chats, plans, calls tools, drives computers; always on), `vision` ("Media reading": images/scans/screenshots for a text model that can't see), `transcription` (speech to text: speech-to-text models only, never chat models that hear audio), `speech` (text to speech: text-to-speech models only), `image` (image generation). Each has one `harness_settings` row (no row = automatic, on, with fallback): a `provider_id` (a `harness_providers` row the harness is limited to, for its pick and its automatic picks; null for any provider; with no row, the default provider, OpenRouter, `grabDefaultHarnessProviderId`), a pinned `model_id` (a `harness_models` row from that provider, not a foreign key) or null for automatic, `fallback` (also try the automatic picks), `enabled`, `options` (`voice`).
- **Providers** (`HarnessProviderKinds` in `src/dict/harness-provider-dict.ts`): OpenRouter (default, created by `ensureDefaultHarnessProvider`), OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, xAI, Ollama (local, its models count as free), any OpenAI-compatible server. Rows in `harness_providers` (a private table: the key is encrypted with `src/utils/crypt.ts`, never sent to the client; falls back to the preset's env, e.g. `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, via `grabEnv`). One adapter today, `src/harness/providers/openai-compatible/` (`chat`, `transcribe`, `speak`, `generateImage`, `listModels`), chosen in `grab-harness-adapter.ts`; a provider needing a native API gets its own adapter there (`HarnessAdapter` in `src/harness/types.ts`).
- **Catalog:** `harness_models` per provider (modalities, tools support, voices, Artificial Analysis scores, `free`, `available`). The `sync-harness-models` cron (hourly, on start) refreshes every enabled provider (`syncAllHarnessModels`); unlisted models are kept but marked unavailable. OpenRouter lists every modality with capabilities; other providers list ids, so capabilities are guessed (`guess-model-modalities`). Free on OpenRouter means `:free` or `openrouter/free`, never zero token prices.
- **Automatic picks** (`rank-auto-models`): only for the `automatic` harnesses in `Harnesses` (text, vision, image); transcription and speech have none and are not available until a model is picked (the model select reads "Not available", no fallback checkbox). Free models that can do the job (on the setting's provider when it has one; a provider without free models needs a picked model) (`model-serves-harness`: text needs tools), by vendor `AutoModelVendorPreference` (DeepSeek, Qwen, NVIDIA, Liquid), then other vendors that look competent (`AppData.HarnessAutoMin*`), then routers; within a vendor by intelligence index, then full-size before small, newest first.
- **Calling:** `resolveHarnessCandidates` (pinned, then automatic) -> `withCandidates` tries them in order with process-wide cooldowns (`resolve/harness-cooldowns.ts`): rate limits and outages rest the model (until `Retry-After` when given), 401/402 rest the whole provider, 403/404 rest the model for an hour. Errors are `HarnessError` (`code` provider|unavailable|aborted, `retryable`), classified in `to-harness-error.ts`. Entry points: `text/generate-text.ts` (one turn), `text/run-text-loop.ts` (tool loop, sticks to one model, wraps up after `HarnessMaxToolSteps`, trims the oldest tool output before each turn to fit the model's context, `fit-transcript-to-context.ts`), `media/read-image.ts`, `media/read-media.ts` (documents locally via `fileToText`, images and audio through their harnesses), `audio/transcribe-audio.ts`, `audio/speak-text.ts` (returns the provider's audio as a stream, falling back to the next model only until one answers), `image/generate-image.ts`. A text model that can't take an image or audio part gets it read by the vision/transcription harness first (`prepare-messages-for-model.ts`).
- **Per-bot models:** in a workspace, its `workspace_harness_settings` row wins (`source: "workspace"`). Otherwise a worker bot inherits the defaults per harness unless it has a `bot_harness_settings` row (same fields as `harness_settings`, unique per bot and harness). `grabHarnessSetting({ harness, bot_id })` returns the bot's row (`source: "bot"`) or the default; the coordinator always gets the default. Every entry point takes `bot_id` and passes it on (text loop -> media reading/transcription), so a bot's run uses its own models throughout. Saved by `saveBotHarnessSetting` (`inherit` deletes the row); the page data is `grabBotHarnessOverview`. A bot's chat header has a ghost model icon (`(partials)/header-icon-button.tsx`; the text model and provider show under the bot's name) that opens a modal with every harness (`(partials)/bot-models-modal.tsx`); the modal and `/admin/bots/[bot_id]/models` both use `(partials)/bot-harness-form.tsx`. On the coordinator the modal edits the defaults themselves (`api/admin/harness/save-settings`, the same settings as Settings, under Models, without the providers): super admins only, the icon is disabled for everyone else. Every one of these wraps `settings/models/(partials)/harness-settings-form.tsx`: per harness a provider select first (`harness-provider-select.tsx`: any provider, one provider, or on a bot "Same as the default"), then the model select narrowed to it. Removing a provider (`deleteHarnessProvider`) puts default and bot settings that picked it or its models back on any provider (`save` prop; "Same as the default" shows when the overview item has `default`).
- **Tools:** `HarnessTool` (built per run with its bot bound): own tools validate with a zod `schema`; tools described elsewhere pass a JSON schema as `parameters` and validate themselves. `run-tool-call.ts` reports bad calls and failures back to the model as `Error: ...`. Bot tools in `src/harness/tools/bot/`: `update_memory`, `update_instructions` (`grabBotTools`, every run), `start_task` and, for the coordinator with workers, `delegate_task` (`grabBotChatTools`, chat replies only; the job's `requested_by_bot_id` is the coordinator, and `relayJobToRequester` posts the worker's result or failure in its conversation, pushed as `relay` by `pushBotNotice`), `ask_user_to_take_over` (see Take-over), plus for the coordinator `create_workspace` and `update_workspace` (a new workspace with its shared context, or changing one; both also in its tasks, so a task that gathers material can write it into the workspace), `create_bot` (add a worker with its name, role and instructions, and join it to a workspace straight away) and, in its own chat, `add_bot_to_workspace` (put an existing worker in one of the user's workspaces) and `remove_bot_from_workspace` (take it out, keeping its conversation there), `assign_computer` (grant or revoke a worker's direct access, `add/remove-bot-to/from-computer`; access through a workspace stays and the result says so), `update_bot` (change a worker's name, role or core instructions, `src/functions/backend/db/bots/update-bot.ts`), `find_bot` and `find_workspace` (look the crew, or the live workspaces, up by id, name, role/description or instructions/context), `delete_bot` (a worker with its conversations, tasks, schedules and workspace places; the coordinator can't go) and `delete_workspace` (its conversations, tasks, schedules and links; its bots and computers stay). `search_computers` (`src/harness/tools/computer/search-computers-tool.ts`, chat replies and tasks) runs one read-only command on all of a bot's computers at once over the sandbox REST API (`run-computer-command.ts`), each output under its `[computer:ID]`, secrets redacted, capped by `AppData.ComputerSearch*`.
- **MCP:** `src/harness/mcp/`: `connectMcpServer` (Streamable HTTP, SSE fallback), `grabMcpTools` (each server tool becomes a `HarnessTool` with its JSON schema), `mcpResultToText` (text as is, images read by the vision harness, `isError` thrown). Computers are reached this way: `openComputerTools` (`src/harness/tools/computer/`) connects to the computer's AIO sandbox at `grabComputerMcpUrl` (the `MAIN_COMPUTER_URL` app setting for the main computer, for a dev server outside docker, e.g. `http://localhost:8170`, else `http://<hostname>:<port>/mcp`, or its IP address when the hostname can't be reached), leaves out `ComputerMcpExcludedTools`, and sets the computer's envs (see Envs).
- **MCPs and custom tools (extensions):** installs add their own MCP servers (`mcp_servers`, Settings, under MCPs) and tools (`custom_tools`, Settings, under Tools). A bot gets the ones given to it (`bot_mcp_servers`, `bot_custom_tools`) and, in a workspace, that workspace's (`workspace_mcp_servers`, `workspace_custom_tools`); `botExtensionsSql` (`src/utils/bot-extensions-sql.ts`, tested) resolves a run's, `grabBotExtensions` reads them. `all_bots` ("every bot by default") only decides what bots are given: turning it on gives it to every bot (`attachToAllBots`, the coordinator included) and every new bot gets it (`attachDefaultExtensions`, from `createBot` and `ensureCoordinatorBot`); turning it off takes it from no one, and a bot that drops one keeps it dropped (`src/scripts/attach-every-bot-extensions.ts`, safe to rerun, moved installs from the old "reaches every bot" meaning). Super admins define them. Super admins and admins (the super admin alone for the coordinator, `assertBotExtensionManager`) give and take them per bot on the bot's settings page and under its chat's composer (`composer-tools.tsx`: chips for everything it can use there, a workspace's not removable, and an Add modal; before them `composer-computer-button.tsx` opens the bot's current computer in the viewer), and per workspace on the workspace's settings page; the settings pages share `settings/(partials)/extensions-group.tsx`, all through `useExtensions` (`src/hooks/`), `grabBotExtensionsOverview` / `grabWorkspaceExtensionsOverview` (`bot_extensions` / `workspace_extensions` page props, both on `grabExtensionsOverview`) and `api/admin/bots/` and `api/admin/workspaces/` `add-extension`, `remove-extension` (`setBotExtension`, `setWorkspaceExtension`); the MCPs and Tools pages' Access modal sets bots and workspaces in bulk (`setExtensionAccess`, an admin never touches the coordinator's or `all_bots`). Helpers in `src/functions/backend/db/extensions/`, API in `api/admin/mcps/` and `api/admin/tools/`, zod in `src/schemas/extension-schema.ts`. `openBotExtensions` (`src/harness/tools/extensions/`) turns them into harness tools for chat replies and tasks (built-ins win a name clash; `close()` in the runners' `finally`; `note` tells the bot about a server it can't use). Templates (`fillTemplate`, `src/utils/fill-template.ts`): `{{args.x}}` and `{{env.KEY}}`, envs from `grabRunEnvs` (workspace beats general, app settings never, no need to be set on computers); secret values are redacted from every result.
- **Custom tools** (`CustomToolKinds` in `src/dict/custom-tool-dict.ts`): a name (`checkCustomToolName`: snake_case, never a built-in's, `ReservedToolNames`), a description, a JSON-schema `parameters` and a `config` per kind, built by `buildCustomTool` (`src/harness/tools/custom/`): `http` (`runHttpTool`: the app fetches, arguments URL-encoded in the URL, no body template sends the arguments as JSON), `script` (`runScriptTool`: bash/python/javascript on the run's computer, the task's or in chat the bot's current one, over the sandbox REST API in a subshell, computer envs set, arguments as JSON in `COBBLE_ARGS` and on stdin; left out without a computer), `prompt` (`runPromptTool`: one `generateText` turn with the bot's models). Super admins try one from the page (`testCustomTool`, the main computer for scripts): a saved one from its row (Try), or the form as it is, saved or not (`draft`, nothing recorded), from the Test panel in its modal (`custom-tool-test-panel.tsx`). Every run (a bot's call or a try; not bad arguments or a cancel) is saved as the tool's `status`, `last_error` and `last_checked_at` (`recordCustomToolRun`); editing resets it to `untested`.
- **MCP servers** (`McpTransports` in `src/dict/mcp-dict.ts`): `remote` (URL plus templated headers, `connectMcpServer`) or `stdio` (a command run with the host's shell, `hostShell`, in `DATA_DIR/mcp/<id>` (`grabMcpDir`), after its `setup_command`, which `runMcpSetup` reruns whenever it changes (marker file) or on Reinstall; its env is only its own `env` map plus the shell basics, `grabMcpStdioEnv`, never the app's). Their tools are listed into `tools_cache` (`syncMcpServer`: on save, Refresh, and hourly for remote ones by the `sync-mcp-servers` cron) and named `<slug>__<tool>` (`mcpToolName`); the modal's Test connection checks the form as it is, saved or not, outside the pool (`testMcpDraft`, `testMcpServer`, `api/admin/mcps/test-mcp`, a new stdio server's setup runs in `mcp/0`); a run that can't connect, or connects again after failing, updates its `status` too (`recordMcpServerConnection`); runs build tools from the cache (`mcpHarnessTool`) and connect on the first call (`openMcpServer`). stdio servers live in a per-process pool (`src/harness/mcp/mcp-stdio-pool.ts`), stopped after `AppData.McpStdioIdleMs` idle, on save or delete.
- **Replies and tasks:** `run-bot-reply.ts` answers from the last `BotReplyHistoryMessages` messages (`botMessagesToHarness`) with `ChatReplyNote`, the bot's computers (`compose-computers-note.ts`: what they are and that they're reached through `start_task`) and the chat tools, at most `BotReplyMaxToolSteps` steps, and finishes silently if the bot already had the last word (`enqueueBotReply` reuses a pending reply, so a burst of messages gets one). `run-bot-task.ts` runs the brief (`compose-job-brief.ts`) with `TaskRunNote`, the bot tools and the job's computer tools, closing the MCP connection after. Retryable harness errors go back to the queue's backoff, the rest are `BotJobFatalError`.
- **API:** `api/admin/harness/` (`save-provider` also syncs, `sync-provider`, `delete-provider`, `save-settings`), super admin only, each returning the fresh `grabHarnessOverview()` page data.
## Admin Route Hierarchy
Live routes under `/admin` (see `AdminSections`): `/admin/bots`, `/admin/workspaces` (the index opens the first workspace), `/admin/routines`, `/admin/logs`, `/admin/help` and `/admin/settings`. `/admin` redirects to `/admin/bots`; a workspace's dashboard is `/admin/workspaces/<id>`. The routes in detail:
- `/admin/bots` (live) - the Cobble chat shell, plus `[bot_id]/`
- `/admin/routines` (live) - every schedule the user's bots have (see Schedules), opened from "Routines" in the rail's user popover
- `/admin/logs` (live) - Activity, the audit log: super admins only (others are redirected; the popover's "Activity" item shows to super admins only). Rendered in `SettingsShell` with `wide`
- `/admin/help` (live) - familiar problems and their fixes, one `SettingsGroup` per topic (`(data)/help-topics.ts`, markdown rendered with the chat's `MessageMarkdownComponents`, the topic id as the group's anchor). First topic: signing in to Google and other strict sites with Cookie-Editor over the Desktop view (`HelpSignInTopicId` in `src/dict/help-dict.ts`; `ask_user_to_take_over` points bots to it)
- Routines, Activity and Help are the `RailPages` (`src/dict/rail-pages-dict.ts`), opened from the rail's user popover (which lists them, then Settings and Sign out). On them the rail shows its own aside (`(partials)/rail-pages-list.tsx`): a back link to the bots, then those pages, like settings
- `/admin/settings/backups` - super admin only (listed in `SettingsPages`): create/list/download database snapshots in `db/.backups`, plus `restore/` (restore a listed backup, or upload a SQLite database file which is saved to `.backups` then restored). Shells out to the `bun-sqlite` CLI (`backup`, and `import <file>` since `restore` is interactive) via `src/functions/backend/backups/`; API routes in `api/admin/backups/`
- `/admin/settings` (live) - redirects to `SettingsDefaultPath` (`/admin/settings/general`). Sub pages: `general/` (theme: System/Light/Dark per device via `useThemePreference`, stored in `localStorage[AppData.ThemeStorageKey]`, the same key `ThemeInitScript` and twui's `ColorSchemeSelector` read; applies instantly, no save bar), `profile/` (current user profile), `notifications/` (this device's Web Push switch, a test send, and every device the user subscribed), `change-password/` (set/change own password) `models/` (super admin only, `super_admin_only` in the dict hides it from the rail: model providers and which model each harness uses) and `environment/` (super admin only: app settings and the envs bots and computers use, per scope), each wrapped in `SettingsShell` (`(partials)/settings-shell.tsx`: 64px pane header like the conversation header, then one centered column). Content is built from `SettingsGroup` blocks (label + description left, controls right, hairline-separated, no cards) and ends with the sticky `SettingsSaveBar` (Save enabled only when dirty, Discard, one-line status). Saves don't reload the page. Keep save notices in component state: `useFormInit` clears `status` whenever the form changes. `bots/` (the crew: chat, edit with `BotForm`, models, delete a worker via `api/admin/bots/delete-bot`), `workspaces/` (open, create through the Add flow, delete), `computers/` (state and resources, live; super admins create, edit with `AddComputerForm`, retry, delete), `mcps/` and `tools/` (see MCPs and custom tools: super admins add, edit, refresh or try, delete; admins only set Access, `extension-access-modal.tsx`; add, edit, access and try open in modals (`AddModalShell`)), each row with a status line under it (`extension-status-line.tsx`: connected or not, last run worked or failed, when, and why), those five for `canManageCrew` only (`grab-crew-settings-server-props.ts`, `can_view` in the dict) and `users/` (for `canListUsers`: super admins and admins; the dict's `can_view` gates it in the rail; add with a password (`canCreateUser`), edit (`canUpdateUser`), both with the one `UserForm` (`admin/settings/users/(partials)/user-form/`, `useFormInit`, photo included, saved in one request), revoke (adds `revoked`, `canRevokeUser`), delete (`canRevokeUser`'s rules, never yourself), pick their user types from `UserTypes` (`user-types-select.tsx`: only the ones `filterAssignableUserTypes` allows, never `UneditableUserTypes`; at least one, since login needs a type; `saveUser` checks each grant and removal with `userTypeAssignment`; the super admin's types are never shown or changed there, and they can't be revoked; the password is entered twice, `SaveUserRequestSchema` checks they match), delete with everything theirs; `api/admin/users/save-user`, `delete-user`). The lists share `SettingsList`, `SettingsListRow`, `SettingsRowAction` and `use-settings-list`. Sub pages are declared once in `src/dict/settings-pages-dict.ts`; on every `/admin/settings/*` page the rail swaps the crew for a back link plus that list. Add a sub page by adding its folder and a dict entry
Every `/admin/*` page renders in the bots layout (`src/layouts/bots/`); there is no separate admin layout or aside. The rail header's Add icon (super admins and admins only, like the rail's "+" buttons) opens the Add flow (`(partials)/add-flow.tsx`, `AddFlowContext`): a bot, a workspace or (super admins) a computer, each form in a modal stacked over the choice, so closing it goes back there (the Bots and Workspaces labels have a "+" that opens the form directly; in a workspace's rail, "Workspace bots" has a "+" that opens `link-bots-modal.tsx` instead: the crew's workers not in it yet (`api/admin/workspaces/linkable-bots`), each added with `add-bot`, which pushes `server:bot-created`, and "New bot" stacking the bot form over it); on a workspace's pages new bots and computers join it. The rail shows the crew (`(partials)/rail-crew-list.tsx`, needs `bots` and `workspaces` in page props): the coordinator, the latest `AppData.RailRecentBots` workers (plus any open, unread or needing you, `pick-rail-bots`), "See all bots" with a few stones opening every bot in a modal, then Workspaces with a "+". On `/admin/workspaces/*` it shows the workspace's crew instead (`(partials)/rail-workspace-list.tsx`: back link, the workspace, then only the bots attached to it, "Workspace bots"; the coordinator stays in the main crew rail, and on a workspace bot's page the back link returns to the workspace page), except on `/admin/settings/*` where it shows "Back to bots" plus the settings sub pages (`(partials)/rail-settings-list.tsx`). Page heroes use the shared `AdminHero` component (`src/components/general/admin-hero.tsx`).
## Page Directory Rules
For route-local code under `src/pages`, use non-routed meta folders:
- `(sections)` - page sections
- `(partials)` - components used by sections
- `(data)` - page-local data
- `(functions)` - page-local functions
- `(utils)` - page-local utilities
- `(hooks)` - page-local hooks
Keep route files (e.g. `index.tsx`) thin - compose from route-local meta folders.
Dynamic routes use `[param]` syntax (e.g. `[id]`, `[user_type]`, `[key]`). Catch-all routes use `[[...paths]]`.
Server functions use `index.server.ts` alongside `index.tsx` (e.g. `single-document/[id]/index.server.ts`).
## Shared Code Organization
- **`src/hooks/`** - Shared React hooks: `use-admin-crud-get`, `use-fetch-get`, `use-form-init`, `use-local-user`, `use-users-get`, `use-server-event`, `use-live-bots`
- **`src/functions/`** - Shared functions split by target:
- `src/functions/backend/` - Server-only: auth (`backend/auth/`), DB queries (`backend/db/` incl. `bots/`), email client + templates (`email/`), media upload, `logger.ts` (audit logging)
- `src/functions/frontend/` - Client-safe: CRUD handlers, fetch handlers, media upload/delete handlers
- `src/functions/server/` - Server utilities (media server handler etc.)
- **`src/utils/`** - Utility modules: cookies, crypt, ejson, money, safe-compare, text-to-html, and more. Most have corresponding `.test.ts` files.
- **`src/utils/rbac/`** - RBAC engine: `user-type-assignment` (matrix interpreter), `is-pass-through-user`, `can-*` permission helpers, `filter-assignable-user-types` - with `bun:test` suites driven by fixture matrices
- **`src/dict/`** - Dictionaries/constants: main links (`main-links-dict.ts`), user types + assignment matrices, media types, document statuses (`document-dict.ts`), websocket rooms, log categories, company data
- **`src/data/`** - Static data: `site-data.ts` (site name/slug - the only place brand literals live), `app-data.ts` (app constants - cookie names, limits, defaults, Paystack endpoint)
- **`src/types/`** - Type definitions: `index.ts` (incl. WebSocket event/room types), `sql-joins.ts`, `paystack.ts`, `search-api.ts`
- **`src/scripts/`** - CLI scripts: `seed-super-admin.tsx` (idempotent super admin seed) + `generate-brand-assets.ts` (favicon/brand asset generator)
- **`llm-code-assistant/`** - `query-db.ts` (read-only SQL CLI for coding assistants)
## Component Systems
| Directory | Description |
| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `@moduletrace/twui` | **The** design system - external package. Contains layout primitives, elements, editors (TinyMCE), form components, hooks, SVGs, and utilities. Import from `@moduletrace/twui` or a deep path such as `@moduletrace/twui/layout/Button` |
| `src/components/general/` | Shared page components built on twui: `logo`, `logo-icon`, `wordmark`, `bot-stone` (+ `bot-stone-face`, `stone-eye-*`), `user-avatar` (round photo or initials, `sm|md|lg`), `code-editor` (twui `AceEditor` for commands and code, loading the ACE scripts on demand via `loadAceScripts`), `icon-tile`, `computer-view` (+ `computer-view-frame`, `computer-view-mode-button`), `inner-page-hero-section`, `main-hero-section`, `admin-hero`, `login-shell`, `tagline-section`, media/image helpers |
## UI & Styling Rules (MANDATORY)
- **Always build UI with the twui component library and the shared `src/components/general/` components.** Do not hand-roll HTML for layout, typography, or controls.
- Layout: `Section`, `Container`, `Stack`, `Row`, `Center`, `Span`, `P`, `H1`-`H5`, `Button`, `Divider`, `Img`, `Link`, `ArrowedLink`, `Main`, `Header`, `Footer`, `Spacer`
- Elements: `Card`, `Paper`, `Tag`, `HeaderNav` (+ `MainLinks` dict), `LinkList`, `Tabs`, `Table`, `Breadcrumbs`, `Modal`, `Dropdown`, `CheckBulletPoints`, `EmptyContent`, `Loading`, `LoadingBlock`, `Toggle`, `Toast`
- Forms: `Form`, `Input`, `Select`, `Textarea`, `Checkbox`, `Radios`, `SearchSelect`, `FileUpload`, `ImageUpload`
- Shared: `Logo`, `LogoIcon`, `InnerPageHeroSection`, `AdminHero`, `LoginShell` (auth pages/forms), `TaglineSection`
- **UNCHANGEABLE RULE - twui components always win over raw JSX elements.** Use twui components (`H1`-`H5`, `P`, `Span`, `List`, `Img`, `Row`, `Stack`, `Container`, `Section`, `Card`, `Button`, `Tag`, `Link`, etc.) before basic JSX elements (`<h1>`-`<h6>`, `<p>`, `<span>`, `<ul>`, `<li>`, `<img>`, `<a>`, `<button>`, `<div>`-as-card, etc.). Never introduce or reintroduce a raw JSX element where a twui equivalent exists. Override twui defaults via `className` rather than reaching for the raw element.
- **Never create new CSS classes, CSS files, or inline `style={{...}}` hacks.** Style exclusively by composing existing component props/classNames, existing twui classNames (`twui-*`), semantic theme-token utilities (`bg-dark`, `bg-light`, `text-dark`, `text-primary`, `bg-primary`, `text-accent`, `bg-accent`, `text-secondary`, `border-slate-200`, etc.), and utility classes already used elsewhere in this codebase. Build up from what exists; extend component code only when the existing API cannot express the need.
- **Theming:** colors, radii, and fonts change only in `src/styles/main.css`: Cobble tokens as CSS vars on `:root` (light) and `.dark`, exposed in the `@theme inline` block as `paper`, `surface`, `sunken`, `ink`, `ink-secondary`, `ink-disabled`, `hairline`, `hairline-strong`, `on-ink`, `hue-<name>`, plus `shadow-popover` and `--m-fast/base/slow` motion vars (zeroed under reduced motion). Font is Lato (stand-in). Never hardcode hex colors, radii, or font stacks inside components. Hues are bot identity only, never state; use `src/dict/bot-hue-classes-dict.ts` for hue classes.
- **Branding:** `public/logos/logo.svg` is the single source of truth for the logo mark; `logo-icon.tsx` renders it inline (via `BotStone`) and `logo.tsx` renders the stone beside the vector `Wordmark`. Whenever the logo changes, run `bun run gen:favicon` to regenerate `public/favicon.ico`, `public/favicon.png`, `public/apple-touch-icon.png`, and `public/logos/logo.png` (the last is used in emails). Font + favicon links live in `__root.tsx` `Head()`.
- **Site name:** brand literals live only in `src/data/site-data.ts`. Page meta titles, emails, and UI copy must interpolate `SiteData["SiteName"]` - never hardcode a brand name in page files.
## Conventions
- Prefer one function/component per file over monolithic files with multiple exports.
- **Modularization is non-negotiable: prioritize modularization over monolithic functions/components.** Repeated UI blocks must be extracted into their own reusable components driven by props (e.g. an info row component taking `{ icon, text }`), never repeated inline markup.
- **Every rendered array must have a separate component for each array item.** Always extract the item JSX into its own component and render it via `items.map((item) => <ItemComponent {...item} />)` - never inline the item's JSX inside the map callback.
- **No em dashes (U+2014) anywhere** in the repo: code, comments, docs, markdown, or user-facing strings. Use a regular hyphen (`-`) or restructure the sentence instead.
- Always use object parameters (`{ foo, bar }`) instead of comma-separated positional parameters.
- Prefer existing patterns over new abstractions.
- **Do not patch `@moduletrace/twui`** - it is a general, publishable library shared across projects. Do not edit the installed package in `node_modules`; compose or override with `src/components/general/` components and `src/styles/main.css` instead.
- `.env` is gitignored but exists locally with secrets. Do not commit it. It is also excluded by `.dockerignore`; production passes it with `docker run --env-file`.
- **Rate limiting:** `src/utils/rate-limit.ts` (in-memory fixed window, per process). Unauthenticated endpoints that send email or check secrets (`password-login`, `signup`, `contact`) must be rate limited.
- **Validation:** validate untrusted request bodies with the zod schemas in `src/schemas/` via `parseWithSchema`. Throw `AppError` for messages that are safe to show; catch blocks return `safeErrorMessage` so internal errors never reach the client.
- **HTML columns:** any `html: true` column that accepts user input must be sanitized with `sanitizeRichTextHtml` (or `sanitizeUserBio` for `users.bio`) before it is stored or rendered with `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`.
- **Outgoing email outside production** goes through `resolveEmailRecipient` (`src/functions/backend/email/resolve-email-recipient.ts`) and is redirected to `DEV_EMAIL_RECIPIENT`. Never hardcode recipient addresses.
- **Never trust ids from the request body for ownership or sessions.** Use the session `user.id`, and gate acting on other users with the `src/utils/rbac/` helpers (`canUpdateUser` etc.).
- `secrets/` directory is also gitignored.
- `external/` binary directories (`**/models`, `**/bin`, `**/x-86`, `**/arm-64`) are gitignored.
