Short guide for AI agents in this repo. Prefer progressive loading: start with the root README, then package READMEs as needed.

What is HAPI?

Local-first platform for running AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) with remote control via web/phone. CLI wraps agents and connects to hub; hub serves web app and handles real-time sync.

Repo layout

cli/     - CLI binary, agent wrappers, runner daemon
hub/     - HTTP API + Socket.IO + SSE + Telegram bot
web/     - React PWA for remote control
shared/  - Common types, schemas, utilities
docs/    - VitePress documentation site
website/ - Marketing site

Bun workspaces; shared consumed by cli, hub, web.

Data flow:

1. CLI spawns agent (claude/codex/gemini), connects to hub via Socket.IO
2. Agent events → CLI → hub (socket message event) → DB + SSE broadcast
3. Web subscribes to SSE /api/events, receives live updates
4. User actions → Web → hub REST API → RPC to CLI → agent

Reference docs

• README.md - User overview, quick start
• cli/README.md - CLI commands, config, runner
• hub/README.md - Hub config, HTTP API, Socket.IO events
• web/README.md - Routes, components, hooks
• docs/guide/ - User guides (installation, how-it-works, FAQ)

Shared rules

• No backward compatibility: breaking old formats freely
• Prioritize Pragmatism, and Avoid Overengineering.
• Write necessary tests ONLY.
• TypeScript strict; no untyped code
• Bun workspaces; run bun commands from repo root
• Path alias @/* maps to ./src/* per package
• Prefer 4-space indentation
• Zod for runtime validation (schemas in shared/src/schemas.ts)

Patched dependencies

• @assistant-ui/tap (patches/): raises tap scheduler MAX_FLUSH_LIMIT 50→2000. Bulk message prepends (older-history pages) create hundreds of tap resources in one flush; the default limit throws and drops the overflow, leaving the thread stale. Re-check the patch when upgrading @assistant-ui/react.

Common commands (repo root)

bun typecheck           # All packages
bun run test            # cli + hub tests
bun run dev             # hub + web concurrently
bun run build:single-exe # All-in-one binary

Pre-push self-review (agents)

Before commit/push/PR: use the pre-push-review skill (~/.cursor/skills/pre-push-review/).

1. Mechanical: bun typecheck && bun run test (matches .github/workflows/test.yml)
2. Logic: skim git diff origin/main...HEAD; apply .github/prompts/codex-pr-review.md as a local Major checklist (no Codex required)
3. Style: optional

Testing

• Test framework: Vitest (via bun run test)
• Test files: *.test.ts next to source
• Run: bun run test (from root) or bun run test (from package)
• Hub tests: hub/src/**/*.test.ts
• CLI tests: cli/src/**/*.test.ts
• No web tests currently

Common tasks

Task	Key files
Add CLI command	cli/src/commands/, cli/src/index.ts
Add API endpoint	hub/src/web/routes/, register in hub/src/web/index.ts
Add Socket.IO event	hub/src/socket/handlers/cli/, shared/src/socket.ts
Add web route	web/src/routes/, web/src/router.tsx
Add web component	web/src/components/
Modify session logic	hub/src/sync/sessionCache.ts, hub/src/sync/syncEngine.ts
Modify message handling	hub/src/sync/messageService.ts
Add notification type	hub/src/notifications/
Add shared type	shared/src/types.ts, shared/src/schemas.ts

Important patterns

• RPC: CLI registers handlers (rpc-register), hub routes requests via rpcGateway.ts
• Versioned updates: CLI sends update-metadata/update-state with version; hub rejects stale
• Session modes: local (terminal) vs remote (web-controlled); switchable mid-session
• Permission modes: default, acceptEdits, auto, bypassPermissions, plan
• Namespaces: Multi-user isolation via CLI_API_TOKEN:<namespace> suffix

Adding new web features — consider an FUE

When you ship a non-essential feature (the 20% of sessions, not the 80%), consider wrapping its affordance in the generic First-User-Experience primitive so existing users discover it without a giant always-visible UI block.

• Hook: web/src/lib/use-fue.ts — useFue(featureId) returns { status, engage, dismiss }. Storage namespace hapi.fue.v1.<featureId> (one localStorage key per feature, isolated from any upstream onboarding flow).
• Components: web/src/components/Fue.tsx — <FueDot> (small pulsing badge for the affordance) and <FueCallout> (portal-rendered popover with title/body + "Got it" affirmative-action dismiss).

Pattern (~10 lines around the affordance):

const fue = useFue('my-feature')
const buttonRef = useRef<HTMLButtonElement>(null)
return (
    <>
        <button ref={buttonRef} onClick={() => { fue.engage(); doThing() }}>
            <Icon />
            {fue.status !== 'acknowledged' ? <FueDot pulsing={fue.status === 'unseen'} /> : null}
        </button>
        {fue.status === 'engaging' ? (
            <FueCallout
                title={t('myFeature.fueTitle')}
                body={t('myFeature.fueBody')}
                onDismiss={fue.dismiss}
                anchorRef={buttonRef}
            />
        ) : null}
    </>
)

Rules:

• Affirmative action only: there is no auto-timeout — user dismisses by clicking "Got it" (reading speed varies).
• The FUE dot and any feature-specific badge (e.g. an entry counter) should be mutually exclusive: onboarding signal beats inventory signal until acknowledged.
• Storage is opt-in per-feature; if upstream ships its own onboarding for a feature, just don't wrap that affordance.

Canonical example: scratchlist toggle in web/src/components/AssistantChat/ComposerButtons.tsx (ScratchlistToggleButton).

Critical Thinking

1. Fix root cause (not band-aid).
2. Unsure: read more code; if still stuck, ask w/ short options.
3. Conflicts: call out; pick safer path.
4. Unrecognized changes: assume other agent; keep going; focus your changes. If it causes issues, stop + ask user.
