Reginald's context is tiered so the model always sees what matters without ever copying ticket data into the prompt: - HOT (this module) — charter + active directives + the focus snapshot, packed under a hard token budget (2k). Assembled fresh each turn as the prompt seed. - WARM — the append-only directive/event ledger + digest, summarized on demand. - COLD — gitea + sidecar via query_project. Ticket bodies/comments/detail live here and are NEVER inlined; the model fetches them by number when needed. - `assembleHotContext(inputs, budget=2000)`: focus (tiny, always kept) → most recent active directives (each while they fit ~⅔) → charter fills the true remainder, truncated on a line boundary. Measures the fixed tail exactly and reserves for header/joiner/ellipsis so the total never exceeds budget. - `estimateTokens` (tokenizer-free ~4 chars/token, slight over-estimate so a real tokenizer stays under), `activeDirectives` (accepted/amended, most-recent-first). Acceptance met: hot assembles under the 2k budget even with a ~34k-token charter; nothing ticket-shaped is inlined (only numbers + titles for focus). +5 core tests; full core suite + typecheck green. Follow-up: wire assembleHotContext into the live system prompt in main (needs charter + directives + focus at chat time) — the assembly + budget is the tested core.

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
