Croissant Le Doux 2f6636684e feat: persist the reconcile cache to disk — instant boot + offline reads
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.html via a static server), brand voice rules in design_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; .js extensions on relative imports
  • @commitea/core stays pure — unit-testable without Electron or network
  • Design tokens are the source of truth (apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/design/, mirrored from docs/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
