Machines are labelled by hostname with no way to give them a friendlier
name. `MachineMetadataSchema` has declared `displayName` all along and the
whole read path already honours it (`displayName → host → id`), but nothing
could ever write it: the CLI never sends the field, the hub exposed no route
that sets it, and the web UI had no editor.
Add the missing write path:
- `PATCH /api/machines/:id` with `{ displayName }`, guarded by the existing
`requireMachine`. An empty value removes the key so the label falls back to
the hostname; the empty string is never stored.
- `machineCache.renameMachine` merges that one key into the stored metadata
and lets `refreshMachine` publish `machine-updated`, which `useSSE` already
invalidates on — so every connected client relabels without new plumbing.
- A `/settings/machines` page listing online machines with inline rename,
placed between Voice and About so the existing preference pages keep their
order. Each row keeps the hostname visible, so a renamed machine is still
identifiable.
The merge reads the raw stored metadata rather than the cached `Machine`
view. That view is narrowed by `MachineMetadataSchema`, which strips unknown
keys and yields `null` for a row that fails validation — reachable, since the
CLI's `machine-update-metadata` handler accepts `z.unknown()`. Merging
against it would have written those fields out of existence.
The row's save is guarded by a ref rather than `isPending`: disabling the
focused input forces a blur, so Enter otherwise reaches `save` twice and
fires two PATCHes, the second of which can lose the version race and report
a failure for a rename that succeeded.
`mergeMachineMetadata` already preserves hub-side fields on CLI
re-registration, so a reconnect does not clobber the name.
Closes #1210
hapi-web
React Mini App / PWA for monitoring and controlling hapi sessions.
What it does
- Session list with status, pending approvals, todos, and summaries.
- Chat view with streaming updates and message sending.
- Permission approval and denial workflows.
- Permission mode and model selection.
- Machine list and remote session spawn.
- File browser and git status/diff views.
- PWA install prompt and offline banner.
Runtime behavior
- When opened inside Telegram, auth uses Telegram WebApp init data.
- When opened in a normal browser, you can log in with
CLI_API_TOKEN:<namespace>(orCLI_API_TOKENfor the default namespace). - The login screen includes a top-right hub picker; if unset, the app uses the same origin it was loaded from.
- Live updates come from the hub via SSE.

Authentication
See src/hooks/useAuth.ts and src/hooks/useAuthSource.ts.
- Telegram Mini App: Uses initData from WebApp SDK.
- Browser: Uses CLI_API_TOKEN from login prompt.
- JWT tokens with auto-refresh.
Data fetching
See src/hooks/queries/ for query hooks and src/hooks/mutations/ for mutations.
- Sessions, messages, machines via TanStack Query.
- Git status and file operations.
- Optimistic updates for message sending.
Real-time updates
See src/hooks/useSSE.ts.
- SSE connection to
/api/events. - Session/message/machine update events.
- Automatic cache invalidation on events.

Development
From the repo root:
bun install
bun run dev:web
If testing in Telegram, set:
HAPI_PUBLIC_URLto the public HTTPS URL of the dev server.CORS_ORIGINSto include the dev server origin.
Tests
Unit tests run under vitest + jsdom:
bun run test:web
End-to-end browser tests for the scratchlist component (real Chromium, real
inert focus blocking, real localStorage round-trips) live at the repo root
under e2e/:
bun run test:e2e # headless
bun run test:e2e:ui # Playwright UI mode (debug)
The spec drives a Vite-served fixture page (web/e2e-fixtures/scratchlist-fixture.html)
that mounts the production ScratchlistPanel in isolation, so no hub /
auth / socket setup is required.
Build
bun run build:web
The built assets land in web/dist and are served by hapi-hub. The single executable can embed these assets.
Standalone hosting
You can host web/dist on a static host (GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages) and point it at any hapi hub:
- Build the web app. If your static host uses a subpath, set the Vite base:
bun run build:web -- --base /<repo>/
- Deploy
web/distto your static host. - Set hub CORS to allow the static origin (
HAPI_PUBLIC_URLorCORS_ORIGINS). - Open the static site, click the top-right Hub button on the login screen, and enter the hapi hub origin.
Clear the hub override in the same dialog to return to same-origin behavior.
