Samuel K cdbaa8d29c fix(server): serve workspace list instantly on fetch, reconcile in background (#204)
* fix(server): serve workspace list instantly on fetch, reconcile in background

Previously fetch_workspaces_request awaited reconcileActiveWorkspaceRecords()
before responding — this ran git operations (getCheckoutStatusLite) on every
active workspace, causing projects to appear empty for several seconds after
daemon restart or reconnect.

Now the registry snapshot is returned immediately and reconciliation runs in
the background. Any changed workspaces (e.g. stale worktrees being archived)
are pushed as workspace_update events through the existing subscription.

* fix(server): make workspace snapshot instant by removing per-workspace git calls

describeWorkspaceRecord was running two git operations per workspace:
  - buildProjectPlacement (to refresh display name)
  - getCheckoutShortstat (for diff indicator)

With 13 workspaces this caused fetch_workspaces_request to take 7-15s
(observed as ws_slow_request in logs).

Split into two methods:
  - describeWorkspaceRecord: uses only persisted data, returns instantly
  - describeWorkspaceRecordWithGitData: runs git ops, used for open_project
    and create_worktree responses where fresh data is needed immediately

The snapshot path (initial load + background reconciliation) now uses the
fast variant. diffStat is null on initial load; it will be pushed later via
workspace_update once a git-aware path triggers.

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.
