What broke (code audit, untested on a Mac):
- Without systemd the server is always spawned from inside a Claude Code
session, so it inherited CLAUDECODE, CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID,
CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, ... and tmux handed them to every lane pane (a codex
pane even resolved as `claude` in `agenthub`'s harness check).
- The ~/.local/bin/agenthub launcher pinned a versioned node path that
`brew upgrade`/nvm deletes, leaving the CLI dead until the next bootstrap.
- A discovery entry left over from before a reboot could name a recycled pid,
so the bootstrap's fast path believed a dashboard was live and
stopDashboard could signal an unrelated process.
- Lanes were stored under the typed cwd; macOS reports /private/tmp and the
on-disk case, so sessions never bound to a /tmp or differently-cased lane.
What changed:
- server/index.js deletes a DENYLIST of parent-session variables at startup;
user config (CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK, ANTHROPIC_*) stays.
- linkCli's launcher falls back to `node` on PATH when the pinned one is gone.
- liveServers ignores entries whose startedAt predates this boot (60 s margin).
- createLane and POST /api/lanes/ensure store/look up fs.realpathSync.native
of an existing cwd; the liveness reaper also tries the realpath. Existing
rows are untouched.
- session-liveness gains an exec seam so the darwin ps+lsof branch is tested.
- plugin-doctor names ~/.zshrc on darwin; INSTALL.md gains a macOS section
with the Mac verification checklist, mirrored in both READMEs and PLUGINS.md.
No launchd, no macOptionIsMeta, engines stays >=20.
What broke: a lane on a fresh `git init` repo had no working git surface.
`statusCounts` ran `rev-parse --short HEAD` unguarded, so `gitFacts` threw
and `GET /api/lanes/:id/git` answered `{available:false}` — the Changes
panel showed no header, and `commit`/`switch` 500'd through `isDirty`.
Add lane in Worktree mode accepted such a repo and left a `failed` row
behind, and a repo with commits but no remote had a permanently disabled
Push with no way to give it one short of a terminal.
What changed:
- worktree.js: an unborn HEAD is a normal state. `statusCounts` reports
`head: null`; `gitFacts` reads the branch via `symbolic-ref`, an empty
subject, and a new `unborn` field.
- git-ops.js: an 11th write, `publish` — `remote add origin -- <url>` then
`push -u origin HEAD`, only with a commit (ENOCOMMITS) and NO remote at
all (EREMOTEEXISTS, so it never re-points one), the url allowlisted by
`validateRemoteUrl` (https without userinfo, ssh://, scp-like; refuses
local paths, file://, ext::, fd::, git://, http://, leading `-`:
EBADURL), and `origin` removed again when the push fails.
- POST /api/lanes/worktree answers 400 EEMPTYREPO for a repo with no
commits instead of creating a row that can only fail.
- LaneGitBar: unborn repos show "no commits yet" and a commit-first hint;
no remote offers Publish… with an inline URL box; a remote but no
upstream relabels Push as "Publish branch". AddLaneModal disables Add
on an empty repo and offers "Use as a Repo lane".
- The two tests that used an unborn repo to force a provisioning failure
now use a `feat` ref clash, since that repo is refused up front.
- CLAUDE.md rule reworded to "the boring eleven" with publish's guards;
docs/API.md, docs/LANES.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, server/README.md, openapi.
Review and the single-file view gain per-hunk Stage and Undo
(stage-hunk / discard-hunk: the hunk is named by its @@ line and
re-matched against a fresh diff, then git apply --cached / -R; undo
needs confirm: true and two clicks). Each review file header stays
pinned while its diff scrolls and carries the file's own
stage/unstage/discard.
Server (git-diff.js, git-ops.js, worktree.js, routes/lanes.js):
- Every lane git call runs with GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1 and -z porcelain, so a
file name is a file name, never a glob, and odd names parse correctly.
- A lane that is a subdirectory of its repo sees and acts on ONLY its own
paths (reads, stage/unstage/discard/commit, and gitFacts.files).
- Any file named settings.local.json (the lane's router API key) is refused as
403 ESECRET on disk (symlinks resolved) and at every committed rev.
- commit refuses with 400 ESTAGEDOUTSIDE while anything outside the lane is
staged (checked with --no-renames, so a move into the lane is caught).
- push resolves its remote (upstream → only remote → origin), else 400
ENOREMOTE; unstaging a rename unstages both halves.
- Git writes serialize on the repo's git dir, not the lane id, so two lanes on
one index cannot collide on index.lock.
- git refusing an action (a numeric exit status) answers 409 EGIT with git's
stderr instead of a 500 carrying a numeric code; one shared parseNumstat.
Client:
- Changes panel: no stale answer from a previous lane or an older quick-open
query repaints the panel; discard disarms on lane switch; Enter on a file
path opens it instead of folding; bounded tree expand-all.
- Large diffs (> 500 rows) render only the visible rows, with stable width
and in-sync split columns; mirrored split scroll is clamped.
- Git bar: no "in sync" without counts, a clear no-remote message, branch list
re-read after a switch, and no previous-lane facts after a lane switch.
- Tooltips no longer flicker or close on unrelated scrolls.
- Settings → Appearance: mode Dark / Light / System (follows the OS live) and
a named theme remembered per mode — dark: Default, Darcula, Apple Dark;
light: Default, Apple Light, IntelliJ Light, Canvas. Each theme is a
CSS-variable override block keyed by `data-theme` on <html>; the sidebar
quick toggle gains System and swaps between the two remembered themes.
- An inline boot script in index.html applies the stored mode and theme
before first paint, so a reload no longer flashes the default colours.
- Diff +/- rows are easier to tell apart on every theme: a /20 status tint,
a 3px status bar and a bold coloured marker; the changed-span emphasis no
longer vanishes on light themes.
- #42: the Add-lane modal (Repo mode / "Current branch") asks
POST /api/lanes/ensure with `exact: true`. Without it a folder nested inside
an existing lane resolved to that parent lane with created:false, so the
modal closed and no new card appeared. When the folder really already has a
lane, the modal now says which one instead of closing.
Closes#42
- Changes card beside lane detail with five modes: Files tree, overview,
Review (whole diff, per-file collapse), single file, commit history.
- LaneDiffView: unified / side-by-side with independent scroll on both axes
and mirrored scrollLeft, expand/collapse context, intra-line emphasis.
- Staged-only commit box; git actions (fetch/pull/push/stage/unstage/
discard/commit/switch/branch-create/branch-delete) guarded in git-ops.js.
- Server: git-diff.js + git-ops.js behind GET /api/lanes/:id/git/* and
POST /api/lanes/:id/git/:action; gitFacts gains upstream/ahead/behind.
- Add lane: new/existing branch, current branch, worktree list, prefill
from the git bar's "New lane here"; /api/run/cwds gains a repo kind.
- GlobalTooltip upgrades every native title into a themed anchored bubble;
chart/info popovers use theme tokens.
Terminal (issue #33):
- `convertEol` is gone from xterm. It rewrote every bare LF as CR+LF, so a
tmux pane that scrolled (tmux emits a bare LF and keeps drawing at the
column it was on) had the rest of that draw land at column 0, stamping a
line's first characters into the left margin of the rows below — the torn
left edge that only showed up once content scrolled.
- The attach carries the client's real size (`?cols=&rows=`, `sizeFromQuery`
in `server/websocket.js`, bounded because it reaches a TIOCSWINSZ ioctl).
`attach()` spawned `tmux attach-session` at a hardcoded 80x24 on every
attach, and tmux sizes the window to the newest client, so `claude` redrew
its whole UI at 80 columns until the first `resize` message landed.
- The terminal takes the keyboard on mount, so typing reaches tmux without
clicking the pane first.
- A pane that ends (double Ctrl+C, `exit`, a crash) reports itself through a
new `onExit` prop and `LaneConsolePane` runs `newRun()`, so the console
returns to the setup form instead of leaving a dead pane behind a
"New run" button.
Pane environment:
- `server/lib/desktop-env.js` forwards the graphical session's DISPLAY /
WAYLAND_DISPLAY / XAUTHORITY / XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (from
`systemctl --user show-environment`, this process's own values winning)
into the pane. The server normally runs as a systemd user service with none
of them, so `claude` there could not read the clipboard and answered "no
image found in clipboard" on every image paste.
Run setup:
- `auto` is a permission mode and is now the default everywhere — allowlists,
the `--permission-mode` fallback, the select, and the pane's initial state.
- The model picker sends the CLI's aliases (`fable`/`opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku`)
instead of pinned ids. `claude --model` resolves an alias to the latest
model itself, so a release like Fable 5.1 needs no edit here; pricing is
unaffected because it keys off the resolved id the transcript reports.
- **Create/update readme file** moved from the Add-lane modal into the lane's
Tools menu: creating a lane and writing its docs are separate decisions,
and the second is worth re-running long after the first.
- The Workspace's no-lane state is a real banner; the lane strip (add tile
included) renders only once a lane exists.
Refs #32, #33.
Tests: npm run test:server (1828 pass), client vitest (558 pass).
Run console:
- Picking a pipeline no longer pre-writes anything into the prompt box
(`promptPrefill` in `LaneConsolePane.tsx` is gone — it wrote the driving
slash command on a claude lane and a stage checklist on a codex one).
Whatever sits in that box is sent as a real prompt the moment the run
starts, so the box is the user's alone now.
- Resuming a session sends NO prompt at all (`handleStart` in `RunSetup.tsx`):
the resumed session carries its own transcript, and leftover text in the box
fired an extra turn into it.
Notifications:
- `client/src/lib/notify.ts` is now the ONE sender, used by both
`useNotifications` and Settings' test button, and it reports where the
notification landed: `POST /api/push/send` answering `{native:false,pushed:0}`
means it went NOWHERE, so the client falls back to a local notification
instead of counting the 200 as delivered.
- A notification carries the lane that raised it (`/workspace?lane=<id>`), and
Workspace selects that lane on arrival.
Profiles:
- `server/lib/cc-profiles.js` reads and writes the macOS login Keychain item
`Claude Code-credentials`, where the `claude` CLI actually keeps
`claudeAiOauth` on darwin — a switch used to rewrite a file nothing reads.
The file stays the fallback, is kept in step only when it already exists, and
`AGENTHUB_CC_KEYCHAIN=0` pins it (tests set it).
Tests: npm run test:server (1820 pass), client vitest (553 pass).
Closes#19, #20, #21, #27.
#19 — a saved auth profile now reports how much of its account's quota is
already spent, which is the only number that decides which one is worth
switching to. Nothing under CLAUDE_HOME records it, so it comes from the same
endpoint the CLI's own /usage reads, answered for whichever account's OAuth
token is presented. It is a POST and a button, never a poll: every profile that
is not the active one is normally expired, so answering means refreshing it
first, and a refresh ROTATES the stored refresh token. The rotated pair is
written straight back — dropping it would leave the profile holding a
credential Anthropic has already retired, i.e. an account needing a fresh
login. The token is read, put in an Authorization header, and never returned,
logged or echoed; what leaves the server is two percentages and two reset
times.
#20 — a settings patch that changes nothing wrote nothing but still took a
timestamped backup, so opening the config panel quietly grew a backup
directory inside every lane. patchSettings now compares the rendered output
with what is already on disk and returns early, fixed once where all callers
route through. A lane's git exclude also picks up .claude/.cc-config-backups/
beside settings.local.json.
#21 — the router apply route was the only mutating lane route that never
broadcast its lane. The write reached disk and the column, but the client's
cached row kept the old router_profile forever: the picker looked right until
the user switched lanes and back, at which point the effect re-read the stale
row and flipped the selection to the previous profile. One broadcastLane, plus
a lane-switch guard so an apply that resolves after the user has moved on no
longer paints its result onto whichever lane is now on screen.
#27 — Add-lane in worktree mode left the dialog up after a clean setup with a
dead confirm button and no obvious way out. It closes itself when nothing
failed, and when something did, the summary stays and the confirm becomes a
real Close.
Closes#26, #25.
`runs` is the denominator every pass rate on the Workflows page is read
against, and any backwards move opened a new one. Stage detection bounces by
design — one feature reads `implement → tests → implement` as the session
edits, runs the suite and edits again — so a single feature was recorded as
five or six runs, and a lane in constant use reported a handful of passes
spread across dozens of phantom runs. A backwards move now opens a run only
when it is DECLARED; a backwards detection continues the run in flight.
Reaching the final node still closes the run for either, since work after
`done` is new work however it was observed. Replayed over this repo's own lane
the rule takes 26 recorded runs down to the 5 features that actually shipped
through it. The panel itself is unchanged: passes are still declarations only.
`/reload-plugins` and `/reload-skills` were typed back to back. Claude Code
opens its slash-command menu the moment `/` is typed and the Enter that follows
lands on that menu, so the second command was appended to the line still in the
composer and the pane submitted `/reload-plugins/reload-skills` — which Claude
Code runs as `/reload-plugins` with an argument, never reloading skills, and
leaving a stray prompt turn in the scrollback. Reproduced and fixed against a
live pane: SETTLE_MS (1s) between the two sends, which makes
`reloadOpenSessions` async rather than block the event loop, and the same pause
in the detached update-all worker.
The lane strip's tiles are now drag-reorderable (Alt+←/→ is the keyboard
path), and a lane's name can be set in place from the detail header. The
"Lane 23 ·" prefix is gone from both — the bare `#23` stays on the tile,
because that number is how the CLI addresses a lane.
Card order is a per-viewer preference, not a lane fact: it lives in
localStorage (`agenthub.workspace.laneOrder`) beside the split-view layout
and writes nothing server-side, so `GET /api/lanes` and `agenthub lanes`
keep answering in id order. Renaming is the opposite — it is PATCH
/api/lanes/:id with {title}, the one lane column a user now types into
directly.
That made a patch value reachable by hand for the first time, so
`bindable` now rejects any non-scalar for every PATCHABLE column with
EBADFIELD, and the route answers 400 for that and for the
SQLITE_CONSTRAINT family, rather than handing better-sqlite3 a datatype
throw and reporting 500 on plain bad input.
The uncommitted-files tooltip became a real panel. `GET /api/lanes/:id/git`
now returns `files` as {path, status, added, deleted} records — deltas from
one `git diff --numstat HEAD`, null where git has none to report (untracked,
binary, renamed) — and the card renders them portalled to the body, so the
Workspace's own scroll box cannot clip the list.
GET /api/lanes/:id/git now returns `files`, the raw `git status --porcelain`
lines the dirty/untracked counts were already parsed from, capped at 20 so a
lane mid-`npm install` cannot ship thousands of paths through a polled
endpoint. The lane card hovers them as the tooltip on its
"N modified · N untracked" text, appending "… +N" when the cap bit.
No new subprocess and no new endpoint — statusCounts was counting those lines
and throwing them away.
openapi.yaml embeds info.version and the Settings screen snapshot pins the UI build string, so both are regenerated in the same commit - repo-links.test.js and the snapshot test each fail otherwise.
The plugins tab could already update one plugin or one marketplace at a time. It gains an install-wide batch and, separately, the reload step that actually makes an update take effect.
Update all runs in a DETACHED worker rather than the request handler, for a structural reason: the batch ends with the plugin the dashboard ITSELF runs from, and that step's plugin-bootstrap.js --force SIGTERMs this very server. An in-process loop would die partway through with the remaining plugins unrun and nothing left to report. Order is marketplaces (one call, no name = all) -> every other installed plugin -> AgentHub last -> one reload. Each transition is journalled to cc-update-all.json in the runtime dir, outside the plugin cache the update replaces, so whichever server is alive serves progress from it; the POST's response is only an acknowledgement.
readUpdateAll DERIVES an abandoned status for a running journal older than an hour, because a detached worker killed by a reboot leaves nobody to write the terminal entry and the button would stay wedged forever. isRunning gates a concurrent batch: two claude plugin update chains over one config dir race.
Reload is its own capability (server/lib/cc-reload.js, POST /api/cc-config/reload). /reload-plugins and /reload-skills are scoped BY CLAUDE CODE to the session that runs them, so nothing can reload a session from outside - typing into a session already running is the only real mechanism, and that is what this does, over tmux send-keys into the dashboard's live lane panes. It spawns NO claude process on purpose: a one-shot claude -p "/reload-plugins" would reload only its own short-lived session, exit, and leave a junk session in the dashboard's history - a headless run gets a full sessions row and there is no filter anywhere to suppress it. Reusing live panes means no session is created at all. Panes at a shell prompt are skipped (the text would run as a shell command) and only claude lanes are addressed, since Codex has no such command.
Update-all reloads once at the end; updating a single plugin passes reload:true and reloads immediately, and never after a failed action.
Fixes a real pre-existing bug on the way: pluginUpdate omitted -y while runClaude closes stdin, and the CLI requires it whenever stdin is not a TTY - so the per-plugin Update button failed for any plugin whose marketplace declares an install command. Also completes CcConfigChangedPayload's action union, which claimed write|delete while nine other values were already being emitted.
Verified: server 1683/1683, client 486/486 (27 new tests), build, prettier, file-header audit, openapi.yaml regenerated (117 paths). Update all was NOT executed against this machine - it would update 7 real plugins and restart the running dashboard.
The ten `agenthub-*` plugins were listed by the marketplace but could never be
installed — two schema mistakes present since the entries were first authored
(57dc915), both invisible until you actually run `claude plugin install`:
- marketplace entries used `"path": "plugins/<name>"`; the CLI only accepts
`"source"`, so every one failed with
`This plugin's marketplace entry is invalid: source: Invalid input`
- each `plugin.json` carried npm's `"repository": { "type", "url" }` object;
the schema wants a plain string, so the next attempt failed with
`Validation errors: repository: Invalid input`
Verified by installing all 11 entries into a throwaway CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:
1/11 before, 11/11 after. `plugins-marketplace.test.js` was asserting the
broken shape, which is why CI stayed green — it now asserts `source` and
rejects `path`.
Marketplace renamed `claude-code-agent-monitor-plugins` -> `agenthub`, so the
install line is `agenthub@agenthub`. ARCHITECTURE.md documented a marketplace
name (`smartgift-claude-code-monitor`) that never existed in any revision.
The documented `/plugin marketplace add Smartgift-AI/Claude-Code-Monitor` also
never worked: the `owner/repo` shorthand resolves to github.com only, and this
repo is self-hosted on Gitea. Confirmed the CLI rejects `host/owner/repo` and
ignores GH_HOST / GITHUB_HOST / CLAUDE_CODE_MARKETPLACE_URL, so the full
https:// clone URL is the only supported form. Same GitHub-habit class fixed
elsewhere: raw.githubusercontent.com icon URLs (404, and the repo ships
favicon.svg not favicon.ico — the client had the same dead /favicon.ico),
a smartgift.github.io docs link (404), and Gitea `/blob/<ref>/` paths that
must be `/src/branch/<ref>/`.
Repository renamed to Smartgift-AI/AgentHub throughout. Gitea 301-redirects
the old name, so these were stale rather than broken; `docs/superpowers/`
keeps the old name because those are dated decision records.
Adds `repo-links.test.js` to guard both classes (it runs under the existing
pre-commit gate) plus an openapi.yaml drift check — the committed spec had
silently fallen a minor version behind package.json. `generate-openapi-yaml.js`
now exports `render()` so the test compares against one definition of the dump
options instead of a second copy.
