The app editorialised about its own guarantees all over the place. Removed or trimmed the clutter: - chat composer footer 'Chat is the write-path. Destructive changes are proposed, never assumed.' (removed) - Settings: dropped the 'no truth is lost' token note, the rebuildable-index / no-webhooks Sync essay (now one line about offline reads), the 'Reginald never does the arithmetic' model note, and the 'not configurable, that is the point' labels justification. - Onboarding: cut 'I never attempt the arithmetic myself', 'nothing human is lost', the 'no bot comments / only footprint' bootstrap claim, 'everything reversible', and 'Nothing more' from the token hint. - Directives: removed the 'entries are never edited, remembers everything politely' footer. - Issue detail: removed the 'lives in pm-state, your repo never sees it' note. - Calibration: cut 'never tracked'. Capture: cut 'no bot comments, your repo remains yours'. Connect: cut 'stored encrypted, never leaves it'. Functional guidance and status copy kept. desktop tsc + build clean.

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
