paseo-bot[bot] d615d3d424 Cut the cost of a directory-suggestion scan so Add Project search stops timing out (#5190)
* fix(server): stop re-deriving path state for every scanned directory

Directory suggestion scans were CPU-bound in path bookkeeping rather than
in reading the tree. A 20,000-entry scan of a 197,000-directory home took
6.9s, of which readdir accounted for 50ms; the rest went to repeated path
normalization.

Three redundant passes are removed:

- Discovery re-derived Git-ignore state by walking every ancestor of every
  entry. Traversal only descends through entries that already passed that
  check, so only the entry itself can be newly ignored.
- Discovery re-derived root containment for every child. Only a symlink can
  resolve outside the tree being walked; every other child is its parent's
  path plus a name, and the parent was already proved inside.
- The directory listing cache swept itself for expired keys on every miss
  once it reached its cap, an O(cache size) pass per directory read. Reads
  already reject stale entries by expiry and by directory metadata.

The same scan now takes 1.1s. The new test expresses the budget against a
plain readdir walk of the same tree, so it means the same thing on CI as on
a developer machine: the ratio was 12x and is now under 3x.

Refs #4879

* test(server): skip the scan-cost budget on Windows

The tree it needs is deeper than MAX_PATH allows, and the directory
listing cache it measures is disabled on Windows because directory
metadata cannot validate it there.

* test(server): count containment derivations instead of timing the scan

The previous budget compared wall-clock scan time against a readdir walk
of the same tree. packages/server/AGENTS.md requires tests to be
deterministic, and a ratio between an I/O-bound walk and a CPU-bound scan
moves with filesystem caching and runner load.

isPathInsideRoot now counts its calls behind start/stopPathContainmentMetrics,
matching the existing git command metrics. Scanning a symlink-free tree of
320 entries derived containment 1,760 times before this branch and derives
it none now, which is the defect stated exactly rather than inferred from a
stopwatch.

A second test covers the other direction: a symlink that leaves the root is
still checked, and still excluded from results.

* fix(server): keep the Git-ignore ancestor walk for symlinked entries

A symlink resolves to a path whose ancestors were never checked during
traversal, so a link into an ignored directory was discovered. Named
children keep the single-entry check.

* test(server): declare the scan helper as a function

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.
