indifferentketchup afaca9e426 feat: MCP {env:VAR} key substitution + coder model/tool-result fixes + docs refactor (v2.7.9)
- MCP secrets: substituteEnvVars recursively resolves {env:NAME} in mcp.json string values from process.env before Zod (opencode-compatible); unset -> '' + boot warning, and invalid-config log names the unset vars (an empty {env:VAR} in a strict url/command field invalidates the whole config)
- data/mcp.json now untracked (.gitignore flips !data/mcp.json -> !data/mcp.example.json); tracked template data/mcp.example.json carries "{env:CONTEXT7_API_KEY}"; .env.example documents the key (9 mcp-config tests)
- Coder fix: message_complete frame model widened string -> string|null (server+web ws-frames parity); dispatcher publishes model: task.model at all 4 external completion points — a null model otherwise fail-closed in publishFrame and dropped the whole frame incl. status:'complete' (regression test)
- Coder fix: claude-sdk mapUserToolResults maps user-message tool_result blocks -> terminal tool_update events (completed/failed w/ output) so tool snapshots resolve instead of spinning forever
- Composer: AgentComposerBar drops §9b resumed/history/new chip + token readout, loses flex-wrap so the row stays one line; CoderPane gains a per-chat localStorage agent-config cache (restores last model on reopen) + threads model into the timeline/chip
- Docs: root CLAUDE.md slimmed (~190 lines), per-app refs split to apps/{coder,server,web}/CLAUDE.md; new docs/coder-backends.md, docs/project-discovery.md, docs/coding-standards/ (cross-app-contract-parity); ARCHITECTURE.md links the backends doc

boocode

Self-hosted single-user developer chat app. 3-app monorepo: BooChat (read-only chat), BooCoder (write tools + agent dispatch), BooTerm (PTY terminals).

Latest release: v2.2.1-pane-scoped-chats (2026-05-26) · CHANGELOG.md · Current focus: CURRENT.md

Agent navigation: AGENTS.md · Architecture: docs/ARCHITECTURE.md · Engineering reference: CLAUDE.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.

# 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

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:

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
BooChat 100.114.205.53:9500 Read-only chat + SPA
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 for full version history. Highlights as of v2.2.1:

  • 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)
  • BooTerm: in-browser terminal panes via tmux + xterm.js, per-session tmux sessions, SSH-out support
  • BooCoder (v2.2): write tools (edit_file, create_file, delete_file, apply_pending, rewind), pending-changes queue with diff UI, Paseo-style provider snapshot (7 providers: boocode, cursor, claude, opencode, goose, qwen, copilot), AgentComposerBar (provider / mode / model / thinking), ACP dispatch with inline permission prompts + tool/reasoning streaming, PTY fallback, Arena, MCP server (6 tools, stdio), CLI client, human inbox, Boomerang orchestration, path-guard fuzz suite, pane-scoped chats (v2.2.1 — each coder/terminal pane owns its chat)

Planned

  • v2.3 provider lifecycle — config-backed provider registry (/data/coder-providers.json), enable/disable toggles, two-tier probe (openspec drafted). See CURRENT.md.
