Lands the lean-SDK direction (boocode_code_review_v2 §1 #9) behind a flag. Adds @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk@0.3.159 (Commercial Terms, runtime dep). - PostgresSessionStore: clean-room impl of the SDK's real SessionStore type over a new claude_session_entries table. Typechecks against the SDK type; 8 DB-integration tests. - ClaudeSdkBackend (implements AgentBackend): one warm query() per (chat,claude) in streaming-input mode via a pushable async-iterable pump, sessionStore + resume continuity, pure mapSdkMessage->AgentEvent, session_id from init, usage/cost onto agent_sessions (backend CHECK gains 'claude_sdk'). - Routing env-gated by CLAUDE_SDK_BACKEND (default off) -> PTY path UNCHANGED. - Built against real SDK 0.3.159 types (install paid off: partial=stream_event needing includePartialMessages, MessageParam, result error arm). - Fix latent test-infra deadlock: serialize DB suites (fileParallelism:false). Coder 269 passing default / 290 with DB; tsc clean vs SDK types; builds clean. LIVE pump + resume + actual claude turn need a host smoke (CLAUDE_SDK_BACKEND=1 + claude binary + auth). zod peer-dep wants ^4 (workspace 3.25). Builds on v2.7.4.

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
