Voice: rewrote REGINALD_SYSTEM and CAPTURE_SYSTEM (core) to an elevated,
dry butler register, and re-voiced his visible lines — chat greetings, the
approve/dismiss/error replies, the standup closer ('The kettle is on. Yours,
Reginald.'), the onboarding welcome, and the capture prose. Both system prompts
now also instruct him never to use an em dash.
Em-dashes: swept every user-facing string in the renderer free of em-dashes
(punctuation only, comments left untouched) via a per-file pass, plus the core
tool descriptions and the memory focus-slot placeholder ('· ' not '— '). Bare
'—' value placeholders became middots ('·'). No em-dash now renders anywhere
in the app or in Reginald's own output.
core 169 tests green (updated the memory placeholder assertion) · core + desktop
tsc clean · verified visually (posh greeting + standup closer render).

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.
