Croissant Le Doux b65ee4c8ad Memory layers: budgeted hot context (#27)
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.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
