- docs/design/README.md Index + research methods summary
- docs/design/screenshots/linear-homepage.png Playwright-captured screenshot
- docs/design/screenshots/railway-homepage.png Playwright-captured screenshot
Key findings:
- Linear CSS token values verified via Playwright (body bg #08090A, accent
#7070FF, Berkeley Mono monospace, type scale, radius, transitions)
- Recommended palette: #0C0C11 base (blue-cast dark vs current GitHub #0d1117)
- Highest-impact change: load Inter Variable via next/font/google
- Orchestrator terminal needs visual differentiation (violet accent, status strip)
- token-reference.css is ready to drop into packages/web/src/app/globals.css

* feat(web): redesign dashboard, session detail, and orchestrator terminal
Implements a cohesive dense dark-mode design system across all three main views.
- New color token palette: #0c0c11 base, #141419 surface, #1c1c25 elevated
- Accent blue #5b7ef8, status semantics (ready/error/attention/working/idle/done)
- Violet accent #a371f7 reserved for orchestrator
- Inter Variable + JetBrains Mono loaded via next/font with CSS variables
- activity-pulse keyframe for live agent dots
- AttentionZone header: dot + label + flex divider + count pill + chevron
- Sessions laid out in responsive 1→2→3 column grid
- Solid green merge button (translateY hover), no confirm() dialog
- Breadcrumb nav: ← Agent Orchestrator / {session-id} [orchestrator badge]
- CSS 8×8px activity dot with pulse animation replaces emoji labels
- Merge-ready state: green-bordered banner with checkmark icon
- Orchestrator sessions show zone counts strip (merge/respond/review counts)
- xterm.js dark theme (#0a0a0f bg, #d4d4d8 fg, full 16-color ANSI palette)
- variant prop: "agent" (blue cursor) vs "orchestrator" (violet cursor)
- Dynamic height prop instead of fixed 600px; fullscreen toggle with SVG icons

* refactor(web): strip rainbow stats, clean header, IBM Plex Sans typography
- Replace Inter with IBM Plex Sans (technical tool aesthetic, distinctive numerics)
- Replace 4-color big-number stats bar with a single compact inline status line
in the header: "35 sessions · 1 working · 9 PRs" — no decorative colors
- Remove the two-tone "Agent (blue) Orchestrator (white)" title — just "Orchestrator"
- Remove ClientTimestamp (useless) — replaced by orchestrator nav link
- Zone headers: colored dot only (semantic), neutral uppercase label, plain count
— removes the rainbow-colored label text that read as a widget template
- Add subtle radial gradient glow at top of page for depth
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(web): kanban layout, amber accent, full-width, bigger stats
- Switch accent from blue (#5b7ef8) to amber/gold (#d18616) throughout
- Replace grid layout with horizontal Kanban columns for active zones
(merge, respond, review, pending, working), Done stays full-width below
- Remove max-w-[1100px] constraint — full viewport width
- Header stats numbers 20px bold (was 12px), orchestrator link is now a
visible bordered button
- AttentionZone gains variant="column" for Kanban mode (compact header
with count pill, vertical card stack)
- Update all hardcoded rgba(91,126,248,...) in SessionCard to amber
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(web): layout, alert sizing, column order, button feel
- Kanban column order: working→pending→review→respond→merge
(left = in progress, right = ready to ship)
- Columns use flex-1 min-w-[200px] to fill available width
instead of fixed 260px leaving half the page empty
- Alert badges: inline-flex wrapper prevents stretching to full
row width when wrapping
- Terminal button: add bg-subtle fill so it reads as a button
- PR number (#91): remove opaque pill background, now plain
amber text link — clearly a hyperlink
- Merge PR button: pt-0.5 spacer above the action area
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(web): don't cache rate-limited partial PR data
When GitHub rate limits fire, enrichSessionPR was caching the
bad partial data (0 additions, CI failing) for 60 seconds, causing
the dashboard to show incorrect data for the full TTL window.
- Skip cache write when majority of API calls failed
- Downgrade console.error → console.warn (this is handled/expected)
The next page refresh will retry live API calls, so data recovers
as soon as the rate limit window resets.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(web): graceful GitHub API rate limit handling in UI
When the GitHub plugin hits rate limits, the dashboard now:
- Shows a single amber banner: "GitHub API rate limited — PR data
(CI status, review state, sizes) may be stale. Will retry on
next refresh."
- Hides CI badge, review decision, and size pill on PR cards
(they'd show wrong values: +0 -0 XS, CI failing)
- Shows a subtle "⚠ PR data rate limited" note on affected cards
instead of misleading alert badges
- Skips CI/review/conflict-based attention zone classification
for rate-limited PRs (prevents sessions moving to Review due
to phantom "CI failing" from the fallback value)
- Doesn't cache partial rate-limited data so next refresh retries
live API calls as soon as the rate limit window resets
What still works when rate limited:
- Session ID, title, branch, PR number/link
- Session activity status (working/spawning/etc.)
- Merge button if mergeability was already cached
- Restore/terminate/send actions
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(web): dashboard redesign — glassmorphism, Kanban, rate-limit handling, perf fix
Design:
- Kanban layout: active zones as flex columns (working→pending→review→respond→merge),
Done as full-width grid below
- GitHub dark color palette (main's tokens) with glassmorphic card surfaces
(rgba bg + backdrop-blur) and subtle blue/violet body gradient
- Activity state shown as labeled pill (● active / ● idle etc.) instead of bare dot
- Session card: title on its own row, larger font, inline-flex alert badges (no stretch)
- PR number rendered as plain accent link, not a blue pill badge
- Terminal button has background fill to feel like a button
- Info circle icon replaces alarming warning triangle for rate-limit indicators
- "1 working" → "1 active" in header stats
- PR table constrained to max-w-[900px] and centered
- Orchestrator session no longer uses purple accent
Rate limiting:
- isPRRateLimited() helper; getAttentionLevel() skips PR classification when limited
- Rate-limited banner in Dashboard; suppressed CI/size/review badges in PRStatus
- SessionCard shows subtle "PR data rate limited" indicator; getAlerts() returns []
- serialize.ts: rate-limited enrichment results cached for 5 min (not 60s) to stop
retrying 168 failing API calls every minute
Performance:
- page.tsx: 4s hard timeout on PR enrichment — serves stale data fast instead of
blocking SSR for 75s under rate limiting
- cache.ts: TTLCache.set() accepts optional ttl override for per-entry control
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: suppress stale size/CI/review in PR table when rate limited
PRTableRow now shows "—" for size, CI, and review columns when GitHub
API is rate limited, matching the card view which already hides these.
Prevents misleading "+0 -0 XS" size and "needs review" labels from the
default fallback values.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: 3D card effect with depth shadow and top-edge shine
Cards now clearly pop against the dark background:
- Solid gradient bg (rgba(28,36,47) → rgba(18,23,31)) instead of
near-invisible rgba(22,27,34,0.8) surface
- Layered box-shadow: contact shadow + diffuse depth + inset top highlight
that simulates light hitting the card's top edge (the "shine")
- Hover: card lifts 2px with deeper shadow
- Merge-ready: green-tinted bg with green ambient glow + stronger lift on hover
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: restore text legibility inside session cards
The darker solid card gradient made muted/secondary text nearly
invisible — #484f58 (text-muted) had only ~2:1 contrast on the
new card bg. Override the color tokens locally within .session-card
to GitHub's established dark-mode legibility values:
--color-text-muted: #484f58 → #656d76 (3.8:1 on card bg)
--color-text-secondary: #7d8590 → #8b949e (6.2:1 on card bg)
--color-text-tertiary: #484f58 → #656d76
Scoped to .session-card so the rest of the UI is unchanged.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: address bugbot comments — fonts, review zone, ActivityDot, orchestrator btn
- layout.tsx: add IBM Plex Sans weight 700 (was missing, font-bold falling
back to 600)
- DirectTerminal.tsx: use "IBM Plex Mono" instead of unloaded "JetBrains Mono"
- SessionDetail.tsx: add review zone to OrchestratorStatusStrip (was omitted,
sessions with CI failures were invisible in the strip)
- ActivityDot.tsx: extract shared component, remove duplicate implementations
in SessionCard.tsx and SessionDetail.tsx
- Dashboard.tsx: redesign orchestrator button with 3D glass style matching
card aesthetic (blue-tinted bg, depth shadow, hover lift)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(web): lint — eqeqeq, duplicate import, unused var
- ActivityDot.tsx: != → !== (eqeqeq rule)
- PRStatus.tsx: merge duplicate @/lib/types imports into one
- SessionCard.tsx: remove unused activityIcon import
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(web): elevate session detail + orchestrator page design
- Nav: glass backdrop-blur effect with chevron back link
- Header: detail-card 3D treatment with left-border accent keyed to activity color
- Meta chips: bordered pill style with subtle bg instead of flat text
- Status tag: pill badge for status instead of plain text
- PR card: detail-card 3D treatment, border-color reflects PR state
- PR merged badge: purple pill instead of gray text
- Unresolved count: red pill badge in section header
- Blockers section: renamed "Issues" → "Blockers"
- Terminal section: colored bar indicator instead of plain label
- Orchestrator status strip: total agent count + per-zone colored pills
- globals.css: add .nav-glass and .detail-card classes
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(web): fetchZoneCounts parses body.sessions, delayed 2s to avoid contention
The /api/sessions endpoint returns `{ sessions: [...] }` not a bare array.
fetchZoneCounts was treating the whole response object as an array, so
zone counts were always zero on the orchestrator detail page.
Also delays the initial fetchZoneCounts call by 2s so it doesn't contend
with the session fetch on page load (both hit /api/sessions which is slow
when GitHub enrichment is running).
Also includes: Playwright kill-Chrome-for-Testing tip in CLAUDE.md,
toned-down detail-card shadow in globals.css.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* perf+test(web): cache-first PR enrichment, skip exited sessions, fix component tests
Performance improvements:
- enrichSessionPR() now accepts cacheOnly option and returns boolean
- /api/sessions/[id]: serve from cache immediately, only block on first load
- /api/sessions: skip PR enrichment for EXITED sessions (no longer changing)
- cache: increase default TTL from 60s to 5 minutes
Test fixes (match redesigned SessionCard + AttentionZone):
- "restore session" (header) → "restore"; expanded panel still shows "restore session"
- "merge PR #N" → "Merge PR #N" (capital M)
- "CI status unknown" → "CI unknown"
- "ask to fix CI" / "ask to fix CI" → "ask to fix"
- "terminate session" → "terminate"
- Zone labels: RESPOND/WORKING/DONE → Respond/Working/Done (CSS uppercase is visual only)
- "working" zone no longer collapsed by default; collapse tests now use "done" zone

* feat(core): ActivityDetection with timestamp propagation
- Add ActivityDetection interface { state, timestamp? } to types.ts
- Agent getActivityState() returns ActivityDetection | null instead of
ActivityState | null, allowing timestamp from JSONL mtime to propagate
- session-manager updates session.lastActivityAt when detected.timestamp
is more recent — fixes "active 22h ago" showing stale timestamps
- Update all agent plugins (claude-code, aider, codex, opencode) to
return ActivityDetection objects
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(web): dismissible rate limit banner + 60min rate-limit cache TTL
- Add X dismiss button to GitHub API rate limit banner in Dashboard.tsx
so it can be closed during demos
- Extend rate-limited PR cache TTL from 5min to 60min — GitHub GraphQL
rate limits reset hourly, no point retrying every 5 minutes
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(web): address Cursor Bugbot review comments on PR #125
- Dashboard StatusLine: active sessions count now uses var(--color-status-working)
(blue) instead of neutral text color, matching the design system semantics
- SessionCard: isReadyToMerge now guards against rate-limited state — a card
with stale cached mergeability data won't show green merge-ready styling
- DirectTerminal: add `variant` to useEffect dependency array (was missing,
causing stale cursor/selection colors if variant changed after mount)
- agent-aider: include `timestamp: chatMtime` in all ActivityDetection returns,
matching the pattern used by agent-claude-code (enables accurate lastActivityAt)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(ci): resolve lint, typecheck, and test failures
Lint:
- Remove unused parseJsonlFile function (superseded by parseJsonlFileTail)
- Remove dead lastLogModified stat() call in getSessionInfo (field was
removed from AgentSessionInfo but the filesystem read was left behind)
Typecheck + Tests (ActivityDetection):
- session-manager.test.ts: update mocks to return { state: "active" } /
{ state: "idle" } instead of bare strings — getActivityState() returns
ActivityDetection | null, not ActivityState | null
- integration tests (aider, claude-code, codex, opencode): update imports
from ActivityState → ActivityDetection, variable types, comparisons
(activityState?.state !== "exited"), and assertions (?.state).toBe()
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: parseJsonlFileTail uses readFile for small files; enrich exited sessions with PRs
- parseJsonlFileTail now calls stat() then readFile() for files smaller than
maxBytes, falling back to open()/handle.read() only for large files. This
fixes the test infrastructure (which mocks readFile but not open) and also
fixes a scope bug where `offset` was declared inside an inner try block but
referenced outside both try blocks.
- Math.max(0, NaN) returns NaN not 0, so size must default to 0 when stat
returns a mock without a size field: `const { size = 0 } = await stat(...)`.
- Update activity-detection.test.ts: getActivityState() now returns
ActivityDetection objects, so tests use (await ...)?.state comparisons.
- Remove stale lastLogModified test (field was removed from AgentSessionInfo).
- Remove EXITED skip guard from api/sessions/route.ts: exited sessions can
still have open, merge-ready PRs that need enrichment on the dashboard.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: comprehensive code review fixes — tests, timestamps, UI correctness
Address gaps identified in code review of the ActivityDetection PR:
Core / Session Manager:
- Add `timestamp` to all `{ state: "exited" }` returns in all 4 agent plugins
(claude-code, aider, codex, opencode) using consistent `exitedAt = new Date()` pattern
- Add 2 new session-manager tests: timestamp propagation when detection timestamp
is newer, and no-downgrade when detection timestamp is older
- Fix `parseJsonlFileTail` lint error: remove useless `= 0` initializer (value was
always overwritten before use; catch block returns early)
Web package — tests:
- Fix 3 `api-routes.test.ts` failures: `sessionsGET()` needs a Request object since
the route reads `request.url` for `?active=true` query param
- Fix `serialize.test.ts` rate-limit test: spy on `console.warn` (what the code uses)
not `console.error`
- Add 5 `ActivityDot` component tests covering all activity states, unknown states,
null activity, and dotOnly mode
Web package — UI correctness:
- Fix `relativeTime()` in SessionDetail to guard against invalid/empty ISO strings
- Fix timer Map leak: add `timersRef.current.clear()` in cleanup effect after forEach
- Add `encodeURIComponent` to sessionId in message fetch URL
Server — race condition fix:
- Guard `activeSessions.delete` in pty.onExit, ws.on("close"), and ws.on("error")
against stale handlers deleting a newly-registered session with the same ID.
Fixes flaky integration test where afterEach's pty.kill() fired asynchronously
after the next test had already set up a new session with the same session ID.

* fix(web): narrow PREnrichmentData types to eliminate unsafe casts in serialize
PREnrichmentData.ciStatus and .reviewDecision were typed as string,
requiring unsafe `as` casts when reading from cache into DashboardPR.
Narrow them to the same literal union types used by DashboardPR, making
the casts unnecessary. Also narrow ciChecks[].status to match CoreCICheck.

* feat: make terminal server ports configurable to fix multi-dashboard EADDRINUSE
When multiple ao dashboards run simultaneously (e.g., ao on port 3000,
integrator on port 3002), both try to start terminal WebSocket servers
on hardcoded ports 3001/3003, causing EADDRINUSE. Add terminalPort and
directTerminalPort to config schema so each instance can use unique ports.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: use optional() instead of default() for terminal port schema
Zod .default() always fills in the value, making config.terminalPort
never undefined and the env var fallback in buildDashboardEnv dead code.
Switch to .optional() so the priority chain works correctly:
config value > TERMINAL_PORT env var > hardcoded default.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: move terminal server defaults from 3001/3003 to 14800/14801
The 3000-3009 range is the most contested in dev tooling (Next.js
auto-increments, BrowserSync, Grafana, Rails, Express all default to
3000+). Port 14800-14899 has zero IANA registrations, zero known dev
tool conflicts, and is safely below OS ephemeral ranges.
Updated all hardcoded fallbacks, .env.local.example, docker-compose
port mappings, and documentation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: auto-detect available terminal ports for zero-config multi-dashboard
When no terminal ports are configured (no config, no env vars),
buildDashboardEnv now probes for an available port pair starting at
14800. The second `ao start` automatically gets 14802/14803 (or the
next free pair), eliminating EADDRINUSE without any user configuration.
Port detection scans in steps of 2 to keep the pair consecutive.
Explicit config/env values bypass auto-detection entirely.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: update onboarding test to use new default terminal port (14801)
The onboarding integration test had port 3003 hardcoded for the
WebSocket health check. Updated to read from DIRECT_TERMINAL_PORT
env var with 14801 as the default, matching the new port defaults.

* fix: terminal servers compatible with hash-based architecture
The terminal WebSocket servers (direct-terminal-ws and terminal-websocket)
used config.dataDir to validate sessions, which no longer exists in the
hash-based architecture. Also fixed node-pty failing to find tmux via
posix_spawnp.
Changes:
- Remove config.dataDir dependency, validate via `tmux has-session` instead
- Add resolveTmuxSession() to map user-facing IDs (ao-15) to hash-prefixed
tmux names (8474d6f29887-ao-15)
- Use explicit tmux path discovery (findTmux) since node-pty's posix_spawnp
doesn't reliably inherit PATH
- Include /opt/homebrew/bin in fallback PATH for macOS ARM
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: add session resolution to ttyd server and use exact tmux matching
- Add findTmux() and resolveTmuxSession() to terminal-websocket.ts
(previously only in direct-terminal-ws.ts), fixing hash-prefixed
session lookup for the ttyd-based terminal server
- Use tmux exact match prefix (=sessionId) in has-session checks
to prevent ao-1 from matching ao-15 via prefix matching
- Add server compatibility tests that verify both servers handle
hash-based architecture correctly (14 tests)
- Include server/ in tsconfig and vitest config for typecheck coverage
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor: extract tmux-utils and add proper unit tests
- Extract findTmux(), resolveTmuxSession(), validateSessionId() into
shared server/tmux-utils.ts — eliminates duplication between
direct-terminal-ws.ts and terminal-websocket.ts
- Add 20 real unit tests with injected mocks that test actual behavior:
- findTmux: candidate priority, fallback to bare name
- resolveTmuxSession: exact match, hash-prefix resolution,
= prefix for preventing tmux prefix matching (ao-1 vs ao-15),
null when no session found, tmux not running
- validateSessionId: path traversal, shell injection, whitespace
- Slim down server-compatibility.test.ts to 10 structural checks
(imports tmux-utils, no loadConfig, no config.dataDir, no existsSync)
Total: 30 tests — all pass on fix branch, 8 fail on main
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: add real integration tests for direct-terminal-ws
- Refactor direct-terminal-ws to export createDirectTerminalServer()
factory so tests can control server lifecycle without side effects
- Add 10 integration tests that create real tmux sessions, start the
real server, connect via WebSocket, and verify the full flow:
- Health endpoint returns 200
- Missing session parameter → close 1008
- Path traversal in session ID → close 1008
- Shell injection in session ID → close 1008
- Nonexistent tmux session → close 1008
- Real tmux session → connects and receives terminal output
- Hash-prefixed session resolution works end-to-end
- Can send input and receive echoed output
- Resize messages don't crash the connection
- Unknown HTTP path → 404
- Tests create/destroy tmux sessions in beforeAll/afterAll
- Server runs on random port (port 0) to avoid conflicts
- Total test suite: 40 tests (20 unit + 10 compatibility + 10 integration)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* ci: add web server tests to CI pipeline
The web package was explicitly excluded from CI test runs
(pnpm -r --filter '!@composio/ao-web' test). Add a test-web job
that installs tmux, starts the tmux server, and runs the web
package tests (unit + integration).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: address CI failures and bugbot review comments
- Fix lint: replace require() with ESM import in integration test
- Fix base-path mismatch: ttyd now uses user-facing sessionId for
--base-path/URL and actual tmux name for attach-session
- Fix bare "tmux" in ttyd spawn args: use TMUX constant (full path)
- Scope CI test-web job to server/__tests__/ to avoid pre-existing
failures in src/__tests__/
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: comprehensive unit and integration test coverage
Unit tests (77): validateSessionId covers all injection vectors (shell,
path traversal, command substitution, special chars, unicode, control
chars), findTmux covers all candidate paths and error types,
resolveTmuxSession covers exact match, hash-prefix resolution, suffix
matching precision, edge cases (single char, long lists, multiple
hyphens, different tmux paths).
Integration tests (45): health endpoint lifecycle (active count tracks
connections/disconnections), HTTP routing (404s for all non-health
paths), WebSocket validation (11 injection/traversal vectors), terminal
connection (resize, multi-resize, invalid JSON, non-resize JSON),
hash-prefixed resolution (suffix match, command passthrough, session key
tracking, cross-match prevention), terminal I/O (Ctrl-C, Tab, Enter,
empty messages, rapid keystrokes, multi-line), connection lifecycle
(cleanup, rapid connect/disconnect, error recovery), server creation
(independent instances).

* fix: validate 12-char hex prefix in hash-prefixed session resolution
The previous endsWith("-{sessionId}") suffix match was ambiguous:
"hash-my-app-1" would falsely match a lookup for "app-1". Now validates
that the prefix matches the exact format generated by generateConfigHash
(12-char lowercase hex) before comparing the remainder.
Added unit tests for the ambiguity case and invalid prefix formats.
Updated integration test session names to use proper 12-char hex prefixes.

Always run tests before pushing.
Use TypeScript strict mode.
Use ESM modules with .js extensions.
Use React best practices (hooks, composition).
Before pushing: pnpm build && pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm test
```
## Benefits
- **5 seconds** instead of 5 minutes
- **Zero config knowledge** required
- **Context-aware rules** tailored to your stack
- **Still customizable** - edit the generated config
## Future: --smart (AI-powered)
Flag added but not yet implemented. Will use Claude Code to:
- Analyze CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md
- Read CI/CD config
- Generate custom rules based on project patterns

* fix: detect repo default branch instead of current branch
Fixes Bugbot issue: "Current branch wrongly suggested as default base branch"
## Problem
detectEnvironment was using `git branch --show-current` to suggest
defaultBranch in the config. If a user ran `ao init` while on a feature
branch like `feat/my-work`, the wizard would suggest that feature branch
as the default, causing agents to branch from the wrong base.
## Solution
Added detectDefaultBranch() function with 3 fallback methods:
1. git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD (most reliable)
2. GitHub API via gh CLI (if ownerRepo known)
3. Check common branch names: main, master, next, develop
Now EnvironmentInfo tracks both:
- currentBranch: The checked-out branch (for display only)
- defaultBranch: The repo's base branch (for config)
## Testing
Tested on feat/seamless-onboarding branch:
- Current branch: feat/seamless-onboarding (displayed)
- Default branch: main (correctly detected for config)

* fix: prevent duplicate framework detection in Python projects
Fixes Bugbot issue: "Duplicate frameworks when multiple Python config files exist"
## Problem
When both requirements.txt and pyproject.toml exist and mention the same
framework (e.g., FastAPI), the detection loop added it to the frameworks
array twice, causing duplicate rules in the generated config.
## Solution
Added addFramework() helper that checks if framework already exists before
adding to the array. Also prevents pytest from being set multiple times as
testFramework.
## Testing
Verified with test repo containing both files with FastAPI:
- Before: Would add 'fastapi' twice
- After: Only adds 'fastapi' once ✓

* fix: address Bugbot review comments
- Remove redundant conditional in --smart flag (both branches were identical)
- Include templates directory in npm package files
* fix: add existence check for base.md template file
Add existsSync guard before reading base.md to handle missing templates gracefully, consistent with other template file reads.
* fix: use direct tool invocation instead of which command
Replace 'which' with direct tool invocation (tmux -V, gh --version)
for better portability on minimal Linux systems where 'which' may
not be installed.
* fix: address Bugbot review comments
- Simplify gh auth status check to rely on exit code instead of output string
- Remove async from synchronous functions (detectProjectType, generateRulesFromTemplates)
* feat: add setup script for one-command installation
Add scripts/setup.sh that:
- Installs pnpm if not present
- Installs dependencies
- Builds all packages
- Links CLI globally
Updated README with simplified setup instructions using the script.

* fix: correct npm link command in setup script
Remove incorrect -g flag from npm link command. The correct syntax is to cd into the package directory and run npm link without flags.
* fix: address Bugbot review comments on init command
- Validate --smart flag requires --auto (prevents silent ignore)
- Fix path validation to check user-specified path (not CWD)
These fixes address medium and low severity issues found by Cursor Bugbot
in PR #66 review.

* feat: implement DirectTerminal with XDA clipboard support
Fixes clipboard functionality in web terminal without requiring iTerm2 attachment.
## Problem
Browser clipboard (Cmd+C/Ctrl+C) only worked when an iTerm2 client was attached
to the tmux session. Users had to keep iTerm2 tabs open in the background for
clipboard to work in the web dashboard.
## Root Cause
- tmux uses XDA (Extended Device Attributes) queries to detect terminal capabilities
- xterm.js doesn't implement XDA (marked as TODO in their codebase)
- Without XDA response, tmux doesn't enable clipboard support (TTYC_MS)
- iTerm2 responds to XDA, enabling clipboard for the entire session
## Solution
Implemented DirectTerminal component with custom XDA handler:
- Registers CSI > q handler using xterm.js parser API
- Responds with XTerm identification: DCS > | XTerm(370) ST
- tmux detects "XTerm(" and enables clipboard capability
- OSC 52 sequences flow: tmux → WebSocket → xterm.js → navigator.clipboard
## Changes
- Add DirectTerminal component with XDA handler
- Add direct-terminal-ws WebSocket server using node-pty
- Replace Terminal with DirectTerminal in SessionDetail
- Add comprehensive test page at /dev/terminal-test documenting:
- Root cause analysis
- Implementation details
- Node version requirements (requires Node 20.x due to node-pty)
- Debugging journey and lessons learned
- Fix ttyd port recycling to prevent EADDRINUSE errors
## Testing
Visit http://localhost:3000/dev/terminal-test for side-by-side comparison
and complete documentation.
Investigation time: 12+ hours (Feb 15-16, 2026)

* fix: lint and typecheck errors
- Remove unused expectedWidth variable in DirectTerminal
- Add test files to eslint ignores
* fix: wrap useSearchParams in Suspense boundary
- Add Suspense wrapper to /dev/terminal-test page
- Add Suspense wrapper to /test-direct page
- Fixes Next.js build prerender error
* fix: address Bugbot review comments
- Fix useEffect cleanup memory leak in DirectTerminal
- Remove accidentally committed build artifacts
- Remove test scripts from repository root
- Add build/ to .gitignore
* fix: address additional Bugbot comments
- Re-enable mouse mode in ttyd terminal (was temporarily disabled)
- Fix hardcoded macOS paths in direct-terminal-ws
- Use 'tmux' from PATH instead of hardcoded /opt/homebrew/bin/tmux
- Use os.userInfo() for username fallback instead of 'equinox'
- Use process.env.PATH for cross-platform compatibility
Note: Bugbot comment about XDA response is incorrect - terminal.write()
is the correct API for responding to XDA queries. The implementation works
as confirmed by user testing.
* perf: fix slow terminal scrolling
- Remove status and error from useEffect dependencies (was recreating terminal on every state change)
- Add scroll performance settings: scrollSensitivity, fastScrollModifier
- Terminal now only recreates when sessionId changes
* fix: pass startFullscreen prop to DirectTerminal in SessionDetail
The fullscreen query parameter was being read from URL but not passed
through to the DirectTerminal component. This caused the fullscreen=true
query param to be ignored when viewing session detail pages.
Fixes:
- Pass startFullscreen prop from SessionDetail to DirectTerminal
- Enables ?fullscreen=true to work on session detail pages

* fix: enable mouse mode for DirectTerminal scrolling
DirectTerminal was not scrollable because tmux mouse mode was not enabled
for the sessions. The ttyd implementation already had this, but the
DirectTerminal WebSocket server was missing it.
Changes:
- Add spawn import from node:child_process
- Enable tmux mouse mode on session connection
- Hide tmux status bar for cleaner appearance
This makes DirectTerminal scrolling work the same as ttyd terminals.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: reduce scroll speed in DirectTerminal for smoother experience
Reduced scroll sensitivity from 3 to 1 lines per wheel tick for more
natural scrolling behavior. Also reduced fast scroll (with Alt) from 5 to 3.
Changes:
- scrollSensitivity: 3 → 1 (normal scroll speed)
- fastScrollSensitivity: 5 → 3 (Alt+scroll speed)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: auto-select two different sessions for terminal test page
When no query params are provided, the test page now automatically fetches
available sessions and picks two different ones for side-by-side comparison.
This avoids port conflicts between ttyd and DirectTerminal by default.
Changes:
- Fetch sessions from /api/sessions on mount
- Use first two available sessions as defaults (or fall back to hardcoded)
- Query params still work for manual override
- Warning only shows when sessions are actually the same
Examples:
- /dev/terminal-test (auto-picks two sessions)
- /dev/terminal-test?old_session=X&new_session=Y (manual override)
- /dev/terminal-test?session=X (uses same session for both)

* fix: filter out terminated sessions in terminal test auto-selection
The auto-selection was picking terminated/exited sessions, causing
WebSocket connection failures when trying to attach to non-existent
tmux sessions (PTY exit code 1).
Now filters to only use sessions with activity !== "exited" for
auto-selection, ensuring terminals can actually connect.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add server-side active session filtering to API
Instead of filtering terminated sessions on the client, added proper
API support with ?active=true query parameter to filter server-side.
Changes:
- GET /api/sessions?active=true - Returns only non-exited sessions
- Updated terminal test page to use new API parameter
- Properly maintains session/dashboard alignment during filtering
- Removed client-side filtering logic
This is cleaner, more efficient, and follows proper API design patterns.

* refactor: replace magic strings with ACTIVITY_STATE constants
Added ACTIVITY_STATE constants to @composio/ao-core types and replaced
all hardcoded "exited", "waiting_input", "blocked" strings with proper
constants throughout the codebase.
Changes:
- Added ACTIVITY_STATE constant object to core/types.ts
- Replaced magic strings in API route (/api/sessions)
- Replaced magic strings in lib/types.ts (getAttentionLevel)
- Properly typed constants with satisfies Record<string, ActivityState>
This prevents typos, improves IDE autocomplete, and makes refactoring
easier by having a single source of truth for activity state values.

* fix: move WebSocket servers outside src/ to fix webpack build error
Moved terminal-websocket.ts and direct-terminal-ws.ts from src/server/
to server/ (outside src/) to prevent Next.js webpack from trying to
bundle them with client code.
These are standalone Node.js WebSocket servers (not Next.js API routes)
that should not be part of the Next.js build. Webpack was failing when
encountering node:child_process imports.
Changes:
- Moved src/server/*.ts to server/*.ts
- Updated package.json scripts to point to new location
Fixes: Module build failed: UnhandledSchemeError with node:child_process
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: update server file path in terminal test page docs
Updated documentation to reflect new server file location after moving
files from src/server/ to server/.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: import from @composio/ao-core/types to avoid bundling server code
The main @composio/ao-core export includes tmux utilities that use
node:child_process, which webpack cannot bundle for the client.
The package already exports a /types entry point that only includes
types and constants (no server utilities).
Changes:
- Import from @composio/ao-core/types instead of @composio/ao-core
- This prevents webpack from trying to bundle tmux.js in client code
Fixes webpack error: UnhandledSchemeError with node:child_process
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: combine duplicate imports to resolve lint errors
* fix: update .env.local.example to match code defaults (port 3003)
Addresses bugbot comment: Documentation showed port 3002 but both
server (direct-terminal-ws.ts) and client (DirectTerminal.tsx) default
to 3003. This mismatch could cause connection failures if developers
set only DIRECT_TERMINAL_PORT without NEXT_PUBLIC_DIRECT_TERMINAL_PORT.
Updated documentation to reflect actual code defaults.
