# Internal web UI — local development (#426)

Read-only MVP skeleton for the MCP Control Plane operator console. Gitea,
MCP capability gates, and `skills/llm-project-workflow/` remain the source of
truth; this UI only provides route stubs and layout.

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.11+ with project dependencies installed (`pip install -r requirements.txt`)
- No secrets in repo, config, or client bundle

## Start the server

From the repository root (or an issue worktree):

```bash
./scripts/run-webui
```

Or directly:

```bash
python3 -m webui
```

Optional environment variables:

| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|----------|---------|---------|
| `WEBUI_HOST` | `127.0.0.1` | Bind address (keep local for MVP) |
| `WEBUI_PORT` | `8765` | Listen port |

## Routes (MVP)

| Path | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `/` | Home / operator overview |
| `/health` | JSON liveness (`status`, `service`, `mode`, `timestamp`) |
| `/projects` | Stub — registry (#427) |
| `/prompts` | Stub — prompt library (#428) |
| `/runtime` | Stub — MCP runtime health (#430) |
| `/audit` | Stub — report audit paste (#431) |
| `/worktrees` | Stub — hygiene dashboard (#432) |
| `/leases` | Stub — lease visibility (#433) |

All routes are GET-only. POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE return `405` with
`read-only-mvp`.

## Tests

```bash
pytest tests/test_webui_skeleton.py -q
```
