Problem: the Oikos control room was browser-only — no native desktop
experience (system tray, notifications, keychain-persisted auth).
Change: add a Wails v3 thin-shell desktop app at cmd/desktop/ that embeds
the existing SPA in a webview. The Go side is ~380 lines — no bundled
server, no Postgres connection. It reads auth from the OS keychain,
injects it into the SPA on load, and the SPA talks HTTPS to the homelab
same as a browser.
Phase 1.0 — Scaffold + window:
- Embed web/dist/ into the Wails binary
- Inject window.__OIKOS_CONFIG__ with keychain-stored apiUrl + token
- 1400×900 window, min 1024×700
- System tray: Open/Quit, click toggles window
Phase 1.1 — Native shell:
- Poll /api/v1/dashboard/summary every 30s; osascript notification
when approvals or critical signals increase
- Save/restore window position to ~/.config/oikos/window.json
- EnableAutoStart/DisableAutoStart — macOS LaunchAgent plist
Phase 1.2 — Token management:
- Config.svelte calls window.wails.Call.ByName('SaveConfig') after
successful connection — persists to OS keychain
- ConfigService binds SaveConfig, ClearConfig, EnableAutoStart,
DisableAutoStart to the Wails runtime
Phase 1.3 — Auto-update:
- Poll Gitea releases API every 6h, compare semver, show dialog
- 'Check for Updates' tray menu item triggers immediate poll
Phase 1.4 — Distribution:
- macOS entitlements.plist: network client + keychain access
- .gitea/workflows/desktop.yml: CI builds macOS arm64 + Linux amd64
on 'desktop-*' / 'v*' tags, attaches artifacts to release
- Makefile: desktop (build), desktop-package (build + zip/tar.gz)
- CONTRIBUTING.md: documented desktop app + commands
Risk: low. Wails v3 alpha API may shift; the Go glue is ~380 lines and
trivially portable. The desktop app is additive — zero changes to the
existing server or SPA logic. No config mutation, no infrastructure
impact.
Verification: go build, go vet, go mod tidy all pass.
Problem: the web UI felt dead and hard to navigate — the Entities table
had no health/freshness signal (just a meaningless row-mutation
timestamp), no way to see what was actually monitoring an entity,
sessions couldn't be reopened, and every drill-down was a full page
navigation that lost the list.
Change:
- Entities table: Updated column replaced with a health dot + relative
"checked Xm ago", sourced from the backend's new health/last_check_at
fields.
- New EntityDetailContent.svelte extracted from EntityDetail.svelte and
shared between the full #/entity/:slug page and a new EntitySheet.svelte
opened from the Entities table (master-detail, row click opens a panel
instead of navigating away). Adds a Monitoring card listing the
entity's check_defs (kind, interval, enabled/disabled with
click-to-toggle via the existing PatchCheck endpoint) and renders
attributes as key/value pairs instead of raw JSON.
- Sessions: fixed a bug where clicking a session loaded it into the
chat store but never navigated to the chat page, so nothing appeared
to happen. Added a SessionRail inside Chat so switching sessions
never leaves the chat surface.
- Fixed the local dev proxy (vite.config.ts): production Caddy strips
the /agent prefix before forwarding to nomos; the dev proxy didn't,
so every session/chat fetch 404'd locally while working in prod.
- Found and fixed a real latent bug while testing the session fix:
chat.ts's loadSessionMessages passed the persisted tool_calls array
straight through, but nomos stores the tool_use and tool_result as
two entries sharing one id. Chat.svelte's keyed {#each tool (tool.id)}
throws on the duplicate key, which silently blanked the entire
message list — invisible until sessions were actually clickable.
Fixed by merging tool_calls by id before rendering, matching the
shape the live-streaming path already produces.
- UI polish: sidebar logo is now just the omicron mark in white (was
icon+text in the accent color); removed the sheet overlay's
backdrop-blur (distracting per feedback); the Attributes/Relations/
Signals grids used viewport-based lg:/3xl: breakpoints, which forced
multi-column layouts based on browser width regardless of the sheet's
actual rendered width — switched to Tailwind v4 container queries
(@lg:/@2xl:/@3xl:) so layout responds to the real available width in
both the full page and the narrower sheet.
Risk: reversible_low (UI-only; no destructive operations; the tool_calls
merge and dev-proxy fix are corrections to broken paths, not behavior
changes to working ones).
Verification: npx tsc --noEmit clean (excluding pre-existing unrelated
.svelte type-resolution warnings). Manually verified in the browser
preview against the live dev API: Entities table health column renders
correctly; clicking a row opens the EntitySheet with a populated
Monitoring card (16 checks for host:hubris, verified via psql that
check_defs.target_id links them correctly); clicking a session now
loads its full transcript inline (was blank before the tool_calls fix);
sheet has no blur and lays out single/multi-column correctly at the
sheet's actual width.
