# boocode

Self-hosted single-user developer chat app. 3-app monorepo: BooChat (read-only chat), BooCoder (write tools + agent dispatch), BooTerm (PTY terminals) — plus the in-app **Orchestrator**, a deterministic multi-agent conductor that runs read-only Han analysis/review flows on local Qwen.

**Latest release:** `v2.7.17-orchestrator` (2026-06-03) · [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md) · **Current focus:** [`CURRENT.md`](CURRENT.md)

**Architecture:** [`docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) · **Engineering reference:** [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md) · **Roadmap:** [`boocode_roadmap.md`](boocode_roadmap.md)

## Stack

- Node 20, Fastify, postgres (porsager/postgres), ws, zod
- React 18, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind v4, shadcn/ui
- Postgres 16
- pnpm workspaces

## Layout

- `apps/server` — Fastify API + WebSocket + inference loop + file-read tools
- `apps/web` — React frontend; served by Fastify in production, Vite in dev
- `apps/booterm` — Fastify + node-pty + tmux for in-browser terminal panes
- `apps/coder` — Fastify write tools + ACP/PTY dispatcher + MCP server (BooCoder)

## Local dev

Requires Node 20, pnpm, Docker (for Postgres), and ripgrep.

```bash
# install
pnpm install

# bring up postgres only
cp .env.example .env
# edit POSTGRES_PASSWORD if you like; default DATABASE_URL points at the container
docker compose up -d boocode_db

# run server (port 3000) and web (port 5173) in two shells
DATABASE_URL=postgres://boocode:devpass@127.0.0.1:5500/boochat \
LLAMA_SWAP_URL=http://100.101.41.16:8401 \
pnpm dev:server

pnpm dev:web
```

The Vite dev server proxies `/api` and `/api/ws/*` to the Fastify backend with a
synthetic `Remote-User: sam` header so the Authelia auth layer can be skipped
during development.

## Production

```bash
cd /opt/boocode
docker compose up --build -d
```

Binds to `100.114.205.53:9500` (Tailscale). Authelia is expected to gate the
upstream and inject `Remote-User`. Postgres binds loopback only.

BooCoder runs as a **host systemd service** (`boocoder.service`, port `:9502`), not in Docker:

```bash
pnpm -C packages/contracts build && pnpm -C apps/server build && pnpm -C apps/coder build
sudo systemctl restart boocoder
curl http://100.114.205.53:9502/api/health
```

## Services

|Service|Port|Description|

|BooTerm|`100.114.205.53:9501`|PTY/tmux terminal panes |
|BooCoder|host:9502|Write tools + agent dispatch + MCP server (systemd service, not Docker) |
|Postgres|`127.0.0.1:5500`|Shared database (`boochat`; Docker service `boocode_db`) |
|codecontext|internal `:8080`|Code graph sidecar (Docker network only) |

## What's shipped

See [`boocode_roadmap.md`](boocode_roadmap.md) and [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md) for full version history. Highlights as of **v2.7.17**:

- **BooChat**: streaming chat, file-read tools, compaction, reasoning support, HTML/Markdown artifact panes, cross-repo read grants, MCP client (multi-server + stdio), tool-cost tracking, skills system, builtin agent registry, multi-pane workspace (chat / terminal / coder / orchestrator)
- **BooTerm**: in-browser terminal panes via tmux + xterm.js, per-session tmux sessions, SSH-out support
- **BooCoder**: write tools (`edit_file` with fuzzy matching, `create_file`, `delete_file`, `apply_pending`, `rewind`, git-ref checkpoints), pending-changes queue + a **Files/Git diff panel** (stage / commit / discard), provider snapshot (5 providers: boocode, claude, opencode, goose, qwen — cursor/copilot retired), `AgentComposerBar`, warm ACP + **persistent agent sessions** (opencode HTTP server; claude via the Agent SDK with native session resume) + PTY fallback, config-backed provider lifecycle, Arena (same task → N models), MCP server, CLI client, human inbox, Boomerang orchestration, pane-scoped chats
- **Orchestrator** (v2.7.17): launch any of 22 read-only Han flows (research, code-review, investigate, architectural-analysis, …) from BooChat or BooCoder via the Workflow button, a slash command, or **+ menu → New Orchestrator**; each step runs as a bounded agent on local Qwen (hard read-only via `qwen --approval-mode plan`), streaming live in a Paseo-style run pane with an evidence-disciplined, adversarially-validated report. Persisted + resumable. `@boocode/contracts` single-sources the cross-app wire contracts (v2.7.13).

## Planned

Most prior roadmap milestones have shipped (see [`boocode_roadmap.md`](boocode_roadmap.md)). What remains is optional/exploratory — e.g. a verify-gate ensembler over pending changes (majority-vote diff ranking). No committed milestones currently in flight.
