More static mocks found by poking the live app:
- Settings was ~80% mock: a fake Sync card (webhook endpoint :48731, poll
fallback, 'last reconcile 3.2s · 500 issues'), a fake dual-model 'router'
(gemma-4b/qwen-72b with hardcoded URLs), and an unwired Rituals card. Replaced
with honest/live content: the Sync card now describes the real on-demand
reconcile + stale-cache model; the Model card shows the actual probed model
from model.status(); dropped Rituals and the duplicate 'Forget' button.
- Settings showed 'Not connected' while the app was clearly connected: config:get
returned only the *saved* config, so a .env.local/env connection read as null.
It now falls back to a public view of the resolved connection — Settings and
the rail host label reflect the real christian/commitea connection.
- Capture braindump was pre-filled with a fake example ('auth is flaky…'); now
starts empty with just the placeholder.
Verified live: Settings shows christian/commitea connected + google/gemma-4-26b
reachable; Capture empty; a live Reginald chat turn runs the agent loop.

CommiTea (desktop)
An AI project manager for Gitea, as an Electron desktop app. The token stays in
the main process (OS keychain via safeStorage); the renderer never sees it.
Develop
yarn dev # electron-vite dev, HMR renderer + main (logs → desktop.log)
yarn typecheck
yarn e2e # builds, then Playwright against the built main (fixtures/demo)
For a live pass against a real Gitea, put a token in .env.local
(GITEA_TOKEN=…) and run GITEA_LIVE=1 yarn e2e live-onboarding.
Package (shareable macOS .dmg)
yarn pack # unpacked .app for the host arch (fast sanity check) → dist/
yarn dist # arm64 + x64 .dmg → dist/CommiTea-<version>[-arm64].dmg
Config is electron-builder.yml. Builds are unsigned (no Apple certs, by
decision) — electron-builder ad-hoc signs so the app can run, but it is not
notarized. Bump version in package.json for a new release; keep
electronVersion in electron-builder.yml in sync with the electron
devDependency.
Installing a shared build (teammates)
macOS Gatekeeper blocks unsigned apps on first launch. To open:
- Open the
.dmgand drag CommiTea to Applications. - In Applications, right-click CommiTea → Open, then confirm Open in the dialog. (Double-clicking the first time just shows "cannot be opened".)
- It opens to the connection screen — enter your Gitea base URL,
owner/repo, and a personal access token (repo scope). Each teammate uses their own token, so activity is attributed correctly. A model URL is optional; chat is disabled until one is configured, everything else works without it.
Grab the -arm64 dmg on Apple Silicon, the plain one on Intel.
