server/lib/ai-tools.js loads server/data/ai-tools/*.json (38 tools, data from
Orca, MIT) plus DASHBOARD_AI_TOOLS_DIR, detects each CLI by walking PATH, and
keeps enable/default in <data dir>/ai-tools.json. shell-path.js merges the
login shell's PATH at startup and on Refresh. /api/ai-tools lists, refreshes
and toggles; /api/run/binary resolves through the catalog.
Lanes accept any catalog id (EDISABLED for a disabled one on creation, ENOTOOL
at start once a tool left the catalog). pty-run keeps the Claude/Codex
builders and builds every other tool's argv from its catalog file, pasting an
after-start prompt through a tmux buffer; every pane gets the hydrated PATH.
A per-run bypass switch appends the catalog's bypass args (Codex included).
POST /api/run now forwards sandbox/approval/resumeLast, which it dropped.
agenthub lanes add gains --tool.
Two gaps left by the AI Router feature: a profile could be saved without ever
being reachable, and a lane's router could only be chosen at creation.
**POST /api/ai-routers/test** answers the question saving cannot. It sends one
Anthropic-style message capped at a single output token to `<baseUrl>/v1/messages`
with a 15s timeout — the wire shape a claude lane's eight env keys point at, so
what is tested is what will actually run. A router that answers is a 200 here
whatever it replies: `{ ok, status, message }` carries the router's own words,
and `status` is null when nothing answered at all. Only bad input is a 4xx.
The stored key is only ever sent to the endpoint it was stored against. A blank
`apiKey` falls back to the key of the profile named by `name`, but only while
the submitted `baseUrl` still equals the saved one — so testing a retyped
endpoint needs a retyped key (`EBADKEY`). Without that rule this route would be
a way to make the server POST a saved API key to any URL a browser names.
Network failures report `error.cause`, not `error.message`: node's fetch reports
every transport failure as the same useless "fetch failed" and hides the part
the user can act on (ECONNREFUSED, ENOTFOUND, a TLS error) one level down.
**The lane card carries an AI Router select.** The Add-lane modal was the only
place a router was chosen, and a lane outlives its creation. Switching goes
through `POST /api/lanes/:id/router/apply` — never a lane PATCH — because the
DB column and the lane's own config on disk may only move together. A failed
apply puts the select back rather than leaving the card claiming a router the
lane did not get. Hidden when `native` is the only profile: a select with one
option is a control that cannot do anything.
Adds `Lane.router_profile` to the client type (the payload already carried it).
A new **AI Router** tab in Settings, next to Codex, stores named router
endpoints (9Router, OpenRouter, a self-hosted gateway) as profiles: a base
URL, an API key, a default model and an optional per-tier override. The tab
only stores them; a lane CHOOSES one in the Add-lane modal, via a Native /
AI Router radio, and that choice is written into the lane's own config.
The two CLIs are configured differently, and the difference is theirs:
- a claude lane gets eight `env` keys merged into its own
`.claude/settings.local.json` (`.local` because the value holds a key);
- a codex lane gets `$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml` — the layer
`codex -p <name>` loads — because Codex has NO project-level config.
Its base `config.toml` is never touched.
Native is a built-in profile rather than a code branch, so "go back to
native" is the same write path. It blanks the two connection variables
instead of removing them (an absent key at project scope lets a USER-level
router apply) and removes the model names instead of writing them (writing
them would override the user's own global model choice).
Key material never leaves the server: profiles live one file each under
`<CLAUDE_HOME>/agenthub-routers/` (0700/0600), `GET /api/ai-routers`
reports only `hasKey`, and there is deliberately no route returning one
profile in full.
Three things this had to get right, each found by review and verified
against the real tools rather than assumed:
- `wire_api = "chat"` is rejected outright by codex-cli 0.149 ("no longer
supported"), so every codex lane on a router would have failed to start.
The layer writes "responses", and writes `env_key` only when the profile
actually has a key — naming an unset variable is itself a startup error.
- The key must never be TYPED into a pane. `tmux.sendCommand` used
`send-keys` with a `KEY='…' cmd` prefix, which the dashboard streams to
every attached browser and bash appends to history; it now takes over the
idle pane with `respawn-pane -k -e`, passing env through argv the way
`newSession` always has. Verified on tmux 3.4: multi-element argv arrives
intact and the pane renders no trace of the value.
- Attaching COPIES a profile, so editing or deleting one in Settings has to
reach the lanes already using it. An edit re-applies it (a rotated key
would otherwise never reach the lane still holding the revoked one); a
delete resets those lanes to native and removes the Codex layer file.
Both report per-lane failures, which the tab surfaces.
`.claude/settings.local.json` is added to the lane's git exclude, for both
native and router lanes: `agenthub lanes reset` runs `git clean -fd` without
`-x`, so an un-excluded settings file is deleted on reset — and untracked
meant the key was committable.
DB: `lanes.router_profile`, nullable, additive. Written only by
`setRouterProfile` beside the disk write, never through `PATCHABLE`.
