Extends the in-memory cache into a durable mirror. The reconcile snapshot is written to disk on every successful reconcile; on boot the app shows it instantly (stale-while-revalidate) instead of a blank board, and if gitea is unreachable, reads fall back to it (offline). Rebuildable — the durable truth stays in gitea. - snapshot-store.ts: load/save the snapshot as JSON in app userData (never throws; corrupt/absent → "no cache"). At this scale (~34 issues, 37KB) the whole snapshot fits in memory, so a JSON file beats indexed SQL — no query benefit yet, no native-module (better-sqlite3/electron-rebuild) or WASM dependency. That's the next step if the mirror ever needs indexed queries over larger data. - gitea.ts: getSnapshot persists on a fresh pull; bootSnapshot() returns the persisted snapshot (without seeding the cache — agents still reconcile fresh); gitea:boot serves it; gitea:reconcile falls back to it on failure (stale:true). - useBacklog: stale-while-revalidate — boot instantly, then a fresh reconcile supersedes; a reconcile error keeps the shown snapshot instead of erroring. Verified: desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Live: the snapshot persists (34 issues / 44 deps / 34 timelines / 5 milestones written to disk); a second launch with gitea unreachable renders the full real board — NOW/NEXT/LATER + the Monte Carlo cone — entirely from the cache (new live-persistence e2e).

CommiTea
AI project manager built on Gitea. A deterministic scheduler does the math
(Monte Carlo forecasts over your own estimate-vs-actual history); the agent —
Reginald — captures work via interview, negotiates priorities, and explains the
consequences. Gitea holds human-authored intent; a pm-state repo holds
machine-derived state. The LLM never does math.
Structure
apps/desktop— Electron app (electron-vite, React, Tailwind)packages/core— pure TypeScript: label schema, scheduler, gitea client (no Electron imports)docs/PLAN.md— product plan (goals, phases, not-doing list)docs/design/— design handoff: tokens, component contracts, interactive prototype (docs/design/ui_kits/app/index.htmlvia a static server), brand voice rules indesign_system_readme.md
Development
yarn # install
yarn dev # electron app, logs tee to apps/desktop/desktop.log
yarn test # unit tests (vitest)
yarn typecheck
End-to-end (Electron + Playwright)
yarn workspace @commitea/desktop e2e # build, then drive the built app
yarn workspace @commitea/desktop e2e:only # reuse existing out/ build (tight loop)
yarn workspace @commitea/desktop e2e:report # open the last HTML report
Tests launch the built app (out/main/index.js) through Playwright's
_electron API — no browser project, no chromium download. Fixtures and page
objects live in apps/desktop/e2e/; screenshots land in
e2e/.artifacts/screens/ for visual review. Page objects use user-facing
locators (getByRole/getByText), never CSS/DOM structure.
Conventions
- Yarn 4 workspaces; ESM everywhere;
.jsextensions on relative imports @commitea/corestays pure — unit-testable without Electron or network- Design tokens are the source of truth (
apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/design/, mirrored fromdocs/design/); Tailwind maps onto the CSS custom properties, never redefines them - Reginald's voice rules live in
docs/design/design_system_readme.md— no emoji, no point-date forecasts, wit in sentences never in buttons
