When CLI_API_TOKEN is provided via environment variable, persist it to settings.json if not already saved. This prevents token regeneration if the env var fails to load on subsequent startups, ensuring token consistency across server restarts.
hapi-server
Telegram bot + HTTP API + realtime updates for hapi.
What it does
- Telegram bot for notifications and the Mini App entrypoint.
- HTTP API for sessions, messages, permissions, machines, and files.
- Server-Sent Events stream for live updates in the web app.
- Socket.IO channel for CLI connections.
- Serves the web app from
web/distor embedded assets in the single binary. - Persists state in SQLite.
Configuration
See src/configuration.ts for all options.
Required
CLI_API_TOKEN- Shared secret used by CLI and web login. Auto-generated if not set.
Optional (Telegram)
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN- Token from @BotFather.ALLOWED_CHAT_IDS- Comma-separated chat IDs allowed to use the bot.WEBAPP_URL- Public HTTPS URL for Telegram Mini App access.
Optional
WEBAPP_PORT- HTTP port (default: 3006).CORS_ORIGINS- Comma-separated origins, or*.HAPI_HOME- Data directory (default: ~/.hapi).DB_PATH- SQLite database path (default: HAPI_HOME/hapi.db).
Running
Binary (single executable):
export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="..."
export ALLOWED_CHAT_IDS="12345678"
export CLI_API_TOKEN="shared-secret"
export WEBAPP_URL="https://your-domain.example"
hapi server
If you only need web + CLI, you can omit TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and ALLOWED_CHAT_IDS.
To enable Telegram, set TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and WEBAPP_URL, start the server, send /start
to the bot to get your chat ID, set ALLOWED_CHAT_IDS, and restart the server.
From source:
bun install
bun run dev:server

Socket.IO
See src/socket/handlers/cli.ts for event handlers.
Namespace: /cli
Client events (CLI to server)
message- Send message to session.update-metadata- Update session metadata.update-state- Update agent state.session-alive- Keep session active.session-end- Mark session ended.machine-alive- Keep machine online.rpc-register- Register RPC handler.rpc-unregister- Unregister RPC handler.
Server events (server to clients)
update- Broadcast session/message updates.rpc-request- Incoming RPC call.
See src/socket/rpcRegistry.ts for RPC routing.
Telegram Bot
See src/telegram/bot.ts for bot implementation.
Commands
/start- Welcome message with chat ID./app- Open Mini App.
Features
- Permission request notifications with approve/deny buttons.
- Session ready notifications.
- Deep links to Mini App sessions.
See src/telegram/callbacks.ts for button handlers.
Core Logic
See src/sync/syncEngine.ts for the main session/message manager:
- In-memory session cache with versioning.
- Message pagination and retrieval.
- Permission approval/denial.
- RPC method routing via Socket.IO.
- Event publishing to SSE and Telegram.
- Git operations and file search.
- Activity tracking and timeouts.
Storage
See src/store/index.ts for SQLite persistence:
- Sessions with metadata and agent state.
- Messages with pagination support.
- Machines with daemon state.
- Todo extraction from messages.

Security model
Access is controlled by:
- Telegram chat ID allowlist (when Telegram is enabled).
CLI_API_TOKENshared secret for CLI and browser access.
Transport security depends on HTTPS in front of the server.
Build for deployment
From the repo root:
bun run build:server
bun run build:web
The server build output is server/dist/index.js, and the web assets are in web/dist.
Networking notes
- Telegram Mini Apps require HTTPS and a public URL. If the server has no public IP, use Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale and set
WEBAPP_URLto the HTTPS endpoint. - If the web app is hosted on a different origin, set
CORS_ORIGINSaccordingly.
