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):

./scripts/run-webui

Or directly:

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)
/queue Live PR and issue queue dashboard (#429)
/api/queue JSON queue export with pagination metadata
/projects Project registry list (#427)
/projects/{id} Project detail + onboarding checklist
/api/projects JSON registry export
/prompts Prompt library with per-prompt copy buttons (#428)
/api/prompts JSON prompt export with workflow hashes
/runtime MCP runtime health and stale detection (#430)
/api/runtime JSON runtime health export
/audit Stub — report audit paste (#431)
/worktrees Stub — hygiene dashboard (#432)
/leases Lease and collision visibility (#433)
/api/leases JSON lease/collision export

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

Project registry (#427)

Versioned registry file: webui/data/projects.registry.json (schema version 1).

Override path with WEBUI_PROJECT_REGISTRY when operators keep a machine-local copy outside git. The registry stores repo identity, remotes, profile names, workflow/schema path references, and onboarding checklist steps — never tokens or credentials.

Seed entry: Gitea-Tools on https://gitea.prgs.cc with prgs-author, prgs-reviewer, and prgs-reconciler profiles.

Prompt library (#428)

Prompts are generated at load time from canonical workflow files under skills/llm-project-workflow/workflows/. SHA-256 hashes are computed from WEBUI_REPO_ROOT (defaults to the repository root). Prompt bodies are short copy/paste starters; canonical workflow files remain the only full policy source.

Live queue dashboard (#429)

/queue loads open PRs and issues for the default registry project (seed: Gitea-Tools on https://gitea.prgs.cc) using existing gitea_auth read credentials. The UI surfaces pagination proof (returned count, pages fetched, has_more, inventory_complete) and classification badges (claimed, blocked, in-review, duplicate) when evidence exists.

If credentials are missing or the fetch fails, the page shows an explicit error instead of an empty queue (fail closed).

Tests (#436)

Run the full hermetic web UI suite (all test_webui_*.py modules):

./scripts/test-webui

CI / Jenkins multibranch can call the path-filtered gate (runs only when the diff touches webui/, tests/test_webui_*, or web UI docs/scripts):

./scripts/ci-webui-check
WEBUI_CI_FORCE=1 ./scripts/ci-webui-check   # always run

Or invoke unittest directly:

python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p 'test_webui_*.py' -q
## Lease visibility (#433)

`/leases` surfaces read-only lease and collision state: local issue lock file,
in-progress claim inventory (#268), reviewer PR lease comments when present
(`<!-- mcp-review-lease:v1 -->`, #407), duplicate open PRs per issue (#400),
and duplicate local branches per issue. Links to collision-history backend
issues (#267, #268, #400, #407) are included. No lease acquire/release from UI.

## Runtime health (#430)

`/runtime` surfaces read-only MCP/runtime diagnostics for the default registry
project: active profile and role kind, authenticated identity (when credentials
are available), config model/mode, local vs remote `master` SHA sync, shell
health, workflow/schema SHA-256 hashes, and stale-runtime warnings when the
checkout is behind merged safety-gate changes. Restart guidance links to #420;
no tokens or MCP restart actions are exposed.
