Mohamed Boudra 9696f42264 Subscribe only the chats this session opened (#5040)
* fix(app): subscribe only the chats this session opened

Open-chat membership was sourced from the persisted workspace layout, which is
restored from disk at launch and carries a tab for every chat the user has ever
opened on the host. Every member got an authoritative timeline catch-up at
session start, and each of those fetches resumed its agent on the daemon: one
provider session per historical tab, every launch.

Two things followed from each resume. Registration stamped `updatedAt` over the
restored timestamp, and the resumed agent started with no attention because the
resume path never read the stored flag. Both were persisted, so restarting Paseo
rewrote every workspace's last-used time in the sidebar and cleared Ready to
review on chats the user never looked at. The timestamp loss was permanent:
workspace `statusEnteredAt` is re-derived from `updatedAt` on every daemon start.

Keep the open set on the session instead. A chat joins it the first time the user
opens it and stays until its tab closes or the session ends, so hiding, switching
workspaces, evicting a retained view, backgrounding and reconnect all preserve the
subscription, with no recent-agent limit. Layout keeps its release role and loses
its source role.

Harden the producer as well, so a resume from any caller stays inert: registration
adopts restored timestamps rather than stamping now, and resume carries the stored
attention through.

* fix(agents): keep a resumed agent's updatedAt from moving backwards

Dropping the registration stamp exposed a skew the stamp had been erasing.
`extractTimestamps` read `lastActivityAt ?? updatedAt`, but the two diverge:
renaming, labelling, restoring from archive, marking unread, and clearing
attention all move `updatedAt` on an unloaded agent without touching
`lastActivityAt`. Eight of 854 agent records on one dev machine carry that skew,
up to eight days of it.

A resume then handed clients a timestamp older than one they already held, and
`acceptAgentDirectoryUpdate` drops any state update that goes backwards. Marking
a chat unread without opening it, then opening it, left the unread dot stuck in
History, the agent list, Command Center and the tab: the daemon cleared attention
and the client refused the update.

Read both fields and take the newest, which is already the rule
`resolveStoredAgentPayloadUpdatedAt` applies to the list payload. Move that
function beside the other stored-record readers as `resolveStoredAgentUpdatedAt`
so one rule covers both paths.

Also replace the `!options?.updatedAt` inference in `registerSession` with an
explicit `restoring` flag. The inference was correct for all four call sites, but
it made a second meaning out of a field, and the next caller to seed a timestamp
would have opted out of activity stamping silently.

* test(app): assert a reloaded layout subscribes only the chat it restores into

No e2e reloaded the page with a populated workspace layout and asserted which
agents the daemon acknowledged, so the regression this branch fixes had no
end-to-end guard. Opening four chats across two workspaces leaves a tab per chat
in persisted layout; after a reload only the restored chat may be subscribed,
because subscribing resumes that agent on the daemon.

Verified it fails when session-context's layout callback is pointed back at
replaceVisibleAgentIds: the three restored tabs nobody opened join the
acknowledged set.

Voice Assistant

A voice-controlled terminal assistant that runs as a single local service.

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Copy environment variables
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your API keys (OpenAI, Deepgram)

# Run development servers
npm run dev

# Open browser to http://localhost:5173

Architecture

  • Express Server (port 3000) - Serves API and built UI in production
  • Vite Dev Server (port 5173) - Hot-reload React UI in development
  • WebSocket (/ws) - Real-time bidirectional communication
  • Agent - STT → LLM → TTS pipeline with terminal control
  • Daemon - tmux-based terminal management (in-process)

Development

# Run both servers (recommended)
npm run dev

# Or run separately:
npm run dev:server  # Express on port 3000
npm run dev:ui      # Vite on port 5173

# Type checking
npm run typecheck

# Build for production
npm run build

# Start production server
npm start

Project Status

✅ Completed (Phases 1-2):

  • Package setup and configuration
  • Express server with WebSocket
  • React UI with Vite
  • WebSocket client with ping/pong testing

⏳ In Progress (Phase 3):

  • Terminal control (tmux integration)

📋 Planned (Phases 4-9):

  • LLM integration (OpenAI GPT-4)
  • Agent orchestrator
  • Speech-to-Text (Deepgram)
  • Text-to-Speech (OpenAI)
  • Audio streaming
  • UI polish

See IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md for complete details.

Environment Variables

OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-key-here      # GPT-4 and TTS
DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your-deepgram-key-here  # Streaming STT
STT_MODEL=whisper-1        # Optional: override to gpt-4o-transcribe, etc.
STT_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD=-3.0  # Optional: reject low-confidence clips
STT_DEBUG_AUDIO_DIR=.stt-debug # Optional: persist raw dictation audio for debugging
PASEO_HOME=~/.paseo        # Runtime state directory (agents/, etc.)
PASEO_LISTEN=127.0.0.1:6767  # Listen address (host:port or /path/to/socket)

PASEO_HOME defaults to ~/.paseo and isolates runtime artifacts like agents/. PASEO_LISTEN controls the daemon listen address. For blue/green testing you can run a parallel server without touching production state:

PASEO_HOME=~/.paseo-blue PASEO_LISTEN=127.0.0.1:7777 npm run dev

Tech Stack

  • Server: Express, TypeScript, ws (WebSocket)
  • Client: React 18, Vite, TypeScript
  • Terminal: tmux (via child_process)
  • AI: OpenAI (LLM + TTS), Deepgram (STT)

Testing

Currently manual testing via:

  1. Start servers: npm run dev
  2. Open http://localhost:5173
  3. Test WebSocket connection (green status indicator)
  4. Click "Send Ping" button to test communication

More testing guidance as features are implemented.
