* refactor(dream): replace two-phase Dream class with simple cron + process_direct - Remove the heavyweight Dream class (AgentRunner-based two-phase system) from nanobot/agent/memory.py - Delete dream_phase1.md and dream_phase2.md templates - New dream.md template serves as the consolidation prompt - Cron callback uses agent.process_direct(prompt, session_key=\"dream\") instead of agent.dream.run() - Always performs git auto_commit after execution - /dream command updated to use process_direct + git commit - DreamConfig kept for backward compatibility; deprecated fields (model_override, max_batch_size, max_iterations, annotate_line_ages) are ignored but accepted in config - interval_h remains configurable via agents.defaults.dream.interval_h - Update tests and webui settings to match new architecture * feat(loop): add ephemeral mode to process_direct, skip history writes for Dream When ephemeral=True, _state_save skips enforce_file_cap (which calls raw_archive -> append_history) and consolidator.maybe_consolidate_by_tokens. This prevents Dream sessions from creating a positive feedback loop where they process their own output. The session IS still saved to disk. * fix(loop): skip extra hooks for ephemeral sessions (Dream) * feat(dream): per-run timestamped sessions with rotation for WebUI * test(config): restore DreamConfig schedule and alias tests * fix(dream): include LLM response summary in git auto-commit message The old two-phase Dream class included the Phase 1 analysis in the git commit message body. The new single-phase version lost this. Restore it by extracting resp.content from the process_direct return value and appending it to the commit message in both the cron handler and the /dream command. * fix(test): accept ephemeral kwarg in test_openai_api fake_process * refactor(dream): merge dream_session.py into MemoryStore The standalone dream_session.py module only contained three small helpers that all revolve around MemoryStore concerns (session keys, commit messages, file pruning). Fold them into MemoryStore as @staticmethod to reduce indirection and avoid a 35-line module with no independent reason to exist. * fix(test): address code review — patch correct instance, use actual function - Fix test_ephemeral_skips_raw_archive to patch loop.context.memory instead of the fixture's separate MemoryStore instance - Fix TestDreamCommitMessage to call MemoryStore.build_dream_commit_message instead of reimplementing the logic inline - Move Dream helpers in memory.py above the Consolidator section comment to avoid misleading visual boundary * fix(dream): gate cursor advancement and restrict tools maintainer edit: Dream now processes backlog from the oldest unprocessed entries, only advances the cursor after a completed ephemeral run, and uses a restricted file-only tool registry for background consolidation. * fix(dream): skip idle compact for dream sessions Dream runs use internal dream:* sessions that are pruned by Dream retention. Exclude them from AutoCompact scheduling, archive execution, and summary injection so idle-session compaction cannot truncate Dream transcripts. * fix(dream): keep batched history isolated * feat(dream): tag archived memory for single-phase Dream --------- Co-authored-by: Xubin Ren <52506698+Re-bin@users.noreply.github.com>
nanobot webui
The browser front-end for the nanobot gateway. It is built with Vite + React 18 + TypeScript + Tailwind 3 + shadcn/ui, talks to the gateway over the WebSocket multiplex protocol, and reads session metadata from the embedded REST surface on the same port.
For the project overview, install guide, and general docs map, see the root
README.md.
Just want to use the WebUI?
If you installed nanobot via pip install nanobot-ai, the WebUI is already bundled in the wheel. Enable the WebSocket channel in ~/.nanobot/config.json and run nanobot gateway — see the root README.md for the 3-step setup. You do not need anything in this directory.
This webui/ tree is for people hacking on the WebUI itself (UI changes, new components, styling, etc.).
Layout
webui/ source tree (this directory)
nanobot/web/dist/ build output served by the gateway
Develop the WebUI (Vite HMR)
1. Install nanobot from source
From the repository root:
pip install -e .
Editable installs intentionally skip the WebUI bundle step — Vite HMR is faster than rebuilding
dist/on every change.
2. Enable the WebSocket channel
In ~/.nanobot/config.json:
{ "channels": { "websocket": { "enabled": true } } }
3. Start the gateway
In one terminal:
nanobot gateway
4. Start the WebUI dev server
In another terminal:
cd webui
bun install # npm install also works
bun run dev
Then open http://127.0.0.1:5173.
By default the dev server proxies /api, /webui, /auth, and WebSocket traffic to http://127.0.0.1:8765.
If your gateway listens on a non-default port, point the dev server at it:
NANOBOT_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9000 bun run dev
Access from another device (LAN)
To use the WebUI from another device on the same network, set host to "0.0.0.0" and configure a token or tokenIssueSecret in ~/.nanobot/config.json:
{
"channels": {
"websocket": {
"enabled": true,
"host": "0.0.0.0",
"port": 8765,
"tokenIssueSecret": "your-secret-here"
}
}
}
The gateway will refuse to start if host is "0.0.0.0" and neither token nor tokenIssueSecret is set.
Then open http://<your-ip>:8765 on the other device. The WebUI will show an authentication form where you enter the secret. It is saved in your browser so you only need to enter it once.
Build for packaged runtime
You usually do not need to run this by hand: python -m build invokes the WebUI build automatically when packaging the wheel.
If you want to preview the production bundle locally without rebuilding the wheel:
cd webui
bun run build # writes to ../nanobot/web/dist
The gateway picks up the new bundle on the next restart.
Test
cd webui
bun run test
