Internal SmartGift build of a Claude Code monitoring dashboard. Lanes: a durable unit of parallel agent work, one per working directory, tracked across session restarts. Managed lanes are git worktrees the dashboard provisions and can reset or remove behind a three-check destroy guard and a counted preflight; adopted lanes are directories you already own and are never destroyable. Pipelines: a lane moves through pipeline stages. A stage the agent declares with evidence renders green; a stage inferred from the tool-event stream renders dashed amber and never counts as done. Detection is forward-only within a 30-minute window, and never writes the declared stage. Workspace: one page at /run with a lane grid, the selected lane's pipeline, and a full Claude console behind a disclosure.

Dev Container (optional)
A ready-to-use, opt-in development environment for Claude Code Agent Monitor.
It is used only when you explicitly choose it — it changes nothing about
host-based development (npm run dev / npm start still work exactly as before).
When to use it
Use it if you want a consistent, batteries-included toolchain without installing Node, build tools, or Python on your machine — or if you're on a GitHub Codespace.
How to open it
- VS Code: install the Dev Containers extension, then run "Dev Containers: Reopen in Container" (Command Palette).
- GitHub Codespaces: Code → Create codespace on this branch.
The first build runs .devcontainer/post-create.sh, which installs all workspace
dependencies (npm run setup) and builds the MCP server (npm run mcp:install,
npm run mcp:build).
What's inside
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Base image | mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:22 (matches prod) |
| Native toolchain | build-essential + python3 so better-sqlite3 compiles |
| Python | python3 / python for statusline.py and helper scripts |
| sqlite3 CLI | inspect the dashboard DB during development |
| Features | GitHub CLI, Docker-in-Docker (build/run the project's own Dockerfile) |
| Forwarded ports | 4820 (server API + WebSocket), 5173 (Vite client) |
| Editor | ESLint + Prettier (format on save), Vitest, Docker, YAML, Tailwind |
Everyday commands
npm run dev # server on :4820 + Vite client on :5173
npm start # production-style server (serves client/dist)
npm run test:server # node --test
npm run test:client # vitest
npm run test:mcp # MCP server tests
npm run openapi:yaml # regenerate openapi.yaml from the live spec
Claude Code hooks are HOST-side (important — issue #193)
Claude Code runs on your host, so its hooks must point at a handler path that exists on the host. This container therefore:
- does not bind-mount
~/.claude, and - does not install hooks —
scripts/install-hooks.jsrefuses to run inside a container (it would write a container-internal handler path into your host settings and break every host hook withMODULE_NOT_FOUND).
Install hooks on your host instead:
npm run install-hooks # on the HOST
The host hook handler POSTs to http://localhost:4820, which this container
forwards — so a host-installed hook reaches the containerized dashboard.
Escape hatch: if you genuinely run Claude Code inside this same container, set
CCAM_ALLOW_CONTAINER_HOOKS=1beforenpm run install-hooks.
Not supported in the container
Electron desktop builds (npm run desktop:*) need a host with a display and are
host-only.
