# Migration Guide: Moving to Dedicated Documentation Repository
This guide will help you migrate the Reasoning Kernel documentation from the main repository to the new dedicated documentation repository.
## π Overview
We're moving from:
```text theme={null}
reasoning-kernel/docs/ β qredence-docs/projects/reasoning-kernel/
```
This provides better organization, scalability, and separation of concerns.
## π Step-by-Step Migration
### Step 1: Create New Repository
1. **Create `qredence-docs` repository on GitHub**:
```bash theme={null}
# On GitHub, create new repository: qredence/qredence-docs
# Clone locally
git clone https://github.com/qredence/qredence-docs.git
cd qredence-docs
```
2. **Set up base structure**:
```bash theme={null}
# Copy the setup files we created
cp -r /path/to/qredence-docs-setup/* ./
# Create directory structure
mkdir -p projects/reasoning-kernel/{concepts,api,sdk,examples,guides,integration,research}
mkdir -p shared/{getting-started,development,deployment,community}
mkdir -p templates assets/{images,logos,icons}
mkdir -p .github/workflows
```
### Step 2: Copy Configuration Files
```bash theme={null}
# Main Mintlify configuration
cp qredence-docs-setup/mint.json ./
# Main pages
cp qredence-docs-setup/introduction.mdx ./
cp qredence-docs-setup/projects.mdx ./
cp qredence-docs-setup/README.md ./
```
### Step 3: Migrate Reasoning Kernel Documentation
From your current Reasoning Kernel repository:
```bash theme={null}
# Navigate to your current reasoning-kernel repo
cd /path/to/reasoning-kernel
# Copy existing documentation to new structure
cp docs/introduction.mdx /path/to/qredence-docs/projects/reasoning-kernel/
cp docs/quickstart.mdx /path/to/qredence-docs/projects/reasoning-kernel/
cp docs/installation.mdx /path/to/qredence-docs/projects/reasoning-kernel/
cp docs/configuration.mdx /path/to/qredence-docs/projects/reasoning-kernel/
# Copy concept files
cp docs/concepts/msa-framework.mdx /path/to/qredence-docs/projects/reasoning-kernel/concepts/
cp docs/concepts/thinking-exploration.mdx /path/to/qredence-docs/projects/reasoning-kernel/concepts/
# Copy API documentation
cp docs/api/overview.mdx /path/to/qredence-docs/projects/reasoning-kernel/api/
# Copy examples
cp docs/examples/basic-usage.mdx /path/to/qredence-docs/projects/reasoning-kernel/examples/
# Copy any existing guides, integration docs, etc.
cp -r docs/guides/ /path/to/qredence-docs/projects/reasoning-kernel/guides/ 2>/dev/null || true
cp -r docs/integration/ /path/to/qredence-docs/projects/reasoning-kernel/integration/ 2>/dev/null || true
cp -r docs/research/ /path/to/qredence-docs/projects/reasoning-kernel/research/ 2>/dev/null || true
```
### Step 4: Update File Paths in Documentation
Since files are now in `projects/reasoning-kernel/`, update internal links:
```bash theme={null}
cd /path/to/qredence-docs
# Update links to reflect new structure
find projects/reasoning-kernel/ -name "*.mdx" -exec sed -i '' 's|href="/concepts/|href="/projects/reasoning-kernel/concepts/|g' {} \;
find projects/reasoning-kernel/ -name "*.mdx" -exec sed -i '' 's|href="/api/|href="/projects/reasoning-kernel/api/|g' {} \;
find projects/reasoning-kernel/ -name "*.mdx" -exec sed -i '' 's|href="/examples/|href="/projects/reasoning-kernel/examples/|g' {} \;
find projects/reasoning-kernel/ -name "*.mdx" -exec sed -i '' 's|href="/guides/|href="/projects/reasoning-kernel/guides/|g' {} \;
find projects/reasoning-kernel/ -name "*.mdx" -exec sed -i '' 's|href="/installation|href="/projects/reasoning-kernel/installation|g' {} \;
find projects/reasoning-kernel/ -name "*.mdx" -exec sed -i '' 's|href="/quickstart|href="/projects/reasoning-kernel/quickstart|g' {} \;
find projects/reasoning-kernel/ -name "*.mdx" -exec sed -i '' 's|href="/configuration|href="/projects/reasoning-kernel/configuration|g' {} \;
```
### Step 5: Update Asset Paths
Move and update image/asset references:
```bash theme={null}
# Create assets directory structure
mkdir -p assets/images/reasoning-kernel assets/logos assets/icons
# Copy existing images (if any)
cp docs/images/* assets/images/reasoning-kernel/ 2>/dev/null || true
# Update image paths in documentation
find projects/reasoning-kernel/ -name "*.mdx" -exec sed -i '' 's|src="/images/|src="/assets/images/reasoning-kernel/|g' {} \;
```
### Step 6: Create Shared Resources
Create shared documentation that applies to all projects:
```bash theme={null}
# Create shared getting started guide
cat > shared/getting-started/overview.mdx << 'EOF'
---
title: "Getting Started with Qredence"
description: "Universal getting started guide for all Qredence projects and technologies."

# Product changelog and release notes
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/changelog/overview
Weekly release notes for Fleet-RLM, Fleet Pi, and Qredence Plugins, covering new features, runtime updates, bug fixes, and security patches.
Track what's new across the Qredence product suite. For documentation changes, see the [docs repository](https://github.com/qredence/documentation).
## Week of September 7 β Fleet-RLM
### New features
**Fail-soft PostHog product analytics**
Fleet-RLM adds optional product analytics controlled by the `[posthog]` policy section in `config/fleet.toml`. Analytics never block startup and stay disabled whenever the named token variable is absent. Every event shares one stable per-installation `distinct_id`, exception autocapture is off, and Fleet captures Turn failures only as sanitized failure messages. Events fire from the HTTP routes for session creation and updates, Turn creation and failure, artifact downloads, run cancellation requests, skill listing, and settings policy updates. Edit `posthog.enabled`, `posthog.project_token_env`, and `posthog.host` through the loopback `/api/settings` surface; changes apply after the next restart. See [PostHog product analytics](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration#posthog-product-analytics).
### Updates
* **Live commands are now TOML policy.** The new `runtime.live_enabled` key (default `true`) replaces the old `FLEET_LIVE=1` shell switch for explicitly invoked provider, Daytona, and Prime Oolong commands. Set it to `false` in the selected policy to fail closed before those commands construct provider or Daytona clients. See [Live commands](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration#live-commands).
* **Readable, bounded MLflow trace content.** The `mlflow.trace_content_mode` setting is removed; `fleet.toml` files that still set it fail validation with an unknown-key error. Trace content is now always readable, with each field bounded by `mlflow.trace_content_max_chars` (default `10000`). `mlflow.async_logging` keeps export off the Turn critical path and `mlflow.trace_sampling_ratio` (default `1.0`) controls the fraction of Turns exported. The export boundary continues to protect credentials, connection strings, private paths, and system-prompt dumps. See [MLflow policy](/fleet-rlm/concepts/observability#mlflow-policy).
* **Tightened Root action bounds with a wrap-up reserve.** The shipped policy lowers the effective Root values to `12` iterations, `32` native LLM calls, and `6000` retained output characters per step. The generic DSPy fallbacks are `20`, `50`, and `10000`, and child values remain `8`, `12`, and `4000`. The new `rlm.wrap_up_seconds` reserve (default `300`) directs the Root to submit its final answer instead of starting new actions when the remaining Turn time drops to the reserve. See [RLM bounds and the wrap-up reserve](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration#rlm-bounds-and-the-wrap-up-reserve).
## Week of September 6 β Fleet-RLM
### New features
**Shared, atomic Turn budget**
Each Turn now owns one shared, atomic budget. Provider attempts, retries, adapter repairs, Tool calls, recursive children, retained execution output, and finalization all draw from the same allowance, so parallel children cannot double-count against it. When a Turn exhausts a budget dimension, Fleet stops admitting that kind of work and moves the Root toward finalization. Six policy keys control the budget, each with a committed default:
* `rlm.max_provider_attempts` (`2048`) β Turn-wide ceiling on provider admissions, including retries and adapter repairs.
* `rlm.max_tool_calls` (`256`) β Turn-wide ceiling on Fleet Tool calls.
* `rlm.max_execution_output_chars` (`4000`) β character cap per retained interpreter output.
* `rlm.max_execution_output_bytes` (`2000000`) β Turn-wide byte ceiling on retained interpreter output.
* `rlm.execution_timeout_s` (`300`) β timeout for a single sandbox execution.
* `rlm.finalization_attempts` (`2`) β provider attempts reserved for the Root final answer.
See [Turn budget](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration#turn-budget).
### Updates
* **Runtime variant selector.** The new `runtime.variant` policy key selects the execution architecture. `legacy` is the default and only implemented value; Fleet rejects unsupported values at startup, and policies that omit the key keep the legacy behavior. `runtime.environment` still selects the provider environment independently. See [Runtime variant](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration#runtime-variant).
* **Public contracts unchanged.** HTTP routes, the SSE vocabulary, and Tool contracts are identical, so existing clients need no changes.
## Week of September 4 β Fleet-RLM
### New features
**Published security model**
Fleet-RLM's security model is now a formal, public reference. It covers the threat model and the guarantees you can rely on:
* **Loopback-only binds by default.** Non-loopback binds require an explicit `--allow-non-loopback-bind`.
* **Sanitized public API errors** that never leak exception text or credentials.
* **A 10 MiB attachment cap** with strict filename and Workspace path validation.
* **Optional `expected_sha256` preconditions** that guard writes, edits, and deletes against clobbering changed content.
* **Layered SSRF defenses on URL fetches:** globally routable addresses only, a 3-redirect cap, a 10-second timeout, and byte caps.
* **Skill guardrails.** Skills can never register executable Tools.
All model-generated code runs inside a Daytona Sandbox, never on the host. Report vulnerabilities to `contact@qredence.ai`. See [Security model](/fleet-rlm/reference/security).
**Glossary of core terms**
A new glossary defines the state and execution vocabulary used across Fleet-RLM, including Session, Turn, Run, Claim, Checkpoint, Runtime Event, Interpreter Lease, Skill Card, Workspace Memory, and Taint. API responses, SSE events, and docs pages now share one vocabulary. See [Glossary](/fleet-rlm/concepts/glossary).
## Week of August 29 β Fleet Prime Agent
### New features
**Session insights panel with live activity timeline**
The web UI adds a session insights side panel with a live activity timeline, so you can follow what the agent is doing as events arrive instead of scrolling the transcript. See [Web interface](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/web-workspace).
**Inline OpenUI artifacts with canvas rendering**
Chat responses can now stream OpenUI artifacts that render inline in the thread, including HTML artifacts on a canvas. Artifact browsing improves with a new file tree component and a deeper workspace tree. See [Web interface](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/web-workspace).
**Persistent session presentation**
The web UI now streams agent activity and artifacts through typed presentation contracts and persists them with the session. Reopening a session restores rendered activity and artifacts rather than replaying a raw transcript. See [Sessions and branching](/fleet-prime-agent/concepts/sessions-and-projects).
### Updates
* **Stock Prime Agent runtime.** The web surface now runs the stock Prime Agent runtime at a pinned version instead of a vendored copy, so runtime behavior tracks upstream releases directly. See [Deployment and installer](/fleet-prime-agent/install).
* **Unified tool envelopes and structured events.** Tool calls and results now stream as typed envelopes with correlation IDs and a discriminated error shape. The thread UI renders structured tool events, streaming compaction artifacts, and auto-retry error envelopes. See [Streaming protocol](/fleet-prime-agent/concepts/streaming) and [Tool cards](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/web-workspace).
* **Streams survive session resets.** Active chat streams are preserved across session resets, so a reset no longer drops an in-flight response. See [Streaming chat](/fleet-prime-agent/concepts/streaming).
### Bug fixes
* **Provider models and OpenUI actions preserved.** Editing a provider keeps registry content and model metadata intact. OpenAI-compatible model discovery results are normalized and persisted, and unsupported API families are rejected. Settled reasoning blocks and reopened OpenUI actions keep working. See [Providers and models](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/providers-and-models).
* **Installer respects existing installs.** The installer ships the `fleet-prime` shim without overwriting an existing `prime-agent` installation. See [Deployment and installer](/fleet-prime-agent/install).
## Week of August 29 β Fleet-RLM 0.7.5
### New features
**Session-scoped resident RLM runtime**
A healthy Session now reuses one native `dspy.RLM`, one caller-owned interpreter, and one Root Sandbox across sequential clean Turns, so ordinary Python variables persist between Turns. Failed, cancelled, timed-out, or otherwise uncertain Turns taint the runtime; before the next Turn Fleet rotates to a fresh interpreter and Sandbox and rehydrates only durable state. See [Daytona runtime](/fleet-rlm/concepts/daytona-runtime) and [Sessions and persistence](/fleet-rlm/concepts/sessions-persistence).
**Durable Session History via `dspy.History`**
Every Root Turn now receives the full committed Session conversation as a `dspy.History` input field on the Signature, one `{"request": ..., "answer": ...}` record per committed Turn. The bounded previews and the `read_session_history` Tool remain as compatible surfaces. See [DSPy integration](/fleet-rlm/guides/dspy-integration).
**Isolated native child RLMs with immutable Session snapshots**
Each delegated native child receives the delegated prompt, the current request, a committed History snapshot, bounded Session context, and the forked Root/Sub model policy, plus its own fresh RLM, interpreter, and Sandbox. Children never observe the live Root interpreter. See [Recursive RLM](/fleet-rlm/concepts/recursive-rlm).
### Updates
* **Public contracts preserved.** HTTP routes, OpenAPI, SSE vocabulary and ordering, Tool contracts, configuration keys, database schema, and CLI behavior are unchanged in 0.7.5.
* **Faster first Turns via session Sandbox pre-warm.** `POST /api/sessions` now schedules a best-effort background pre-warm that acquires a Root Sandbox, applies the canonical Volume layout, and persists the binding. The first Turn reuses the bound Sandbox, dropping the first-Turn sandbox path from \~8-10s to \~2s. Pre-warm is transparent: a Turn racing the pre-warm waits it out or makes it yield, and a failed pre-warm falls back to normal acquisition. See [Daytona runtime](/fleet-rlm/concepts/daytona-runtime).
* **Parallel Volume layout.** Canonical Volume directory creation now runs depth-level batches concurrently, cutting the layout phase by 31% at p50 and 59% at p95. Cold paths that don't benefit from pre-warm, such as recursive child Sandboxes, get the same tail reduction.
* **Daytona SDK bumped to `==0.207.0`.** Every SDK surface Fleet uses is unchanged or additive-only, so Sandbox behavior is identical. The SDK's new warm pools are not adopted: Fleet mounts a workspace-scoped volume on every production Sandbox create, which the pool contract excludes.
* **Dependency lock refreshed.** About 60 transitive packages move to their newest releases within declared ranges. Certified pins (`dspy==3.3.1`, `fastapi==0.141.1`, `gepa==0.1.4`) are unchanged, and the unused `httpx2` dependency is removed.
## Week of August 25 β Fleet-RLM 0.7.4
### Updates
* **Certified DSPy runtime: exactly `dspy==3.3.1`.** Fleet now pins the published `dspy==3.3.1` release and fails closed before any provider, database, or Daytona resource is constructed when any other version is installed, including neighboring patches, prereleases, and local builds. `--help` stays reachable on any runtime. The official `gepa==0.1.4` optimizer contracts back the bounded development smoke path; production optimization remains fail-closed. See [DSPy integration](/fleet-rlm/guides/dspy-integration).
* **One accountable owner per Turn.** Turn ownership is collapsed into `TurnCoordinator` under one explicit ownership-deletion contract, and recursive child lease and cleanup contract to a single Daytona owner with a fenced child deadline. Cancelled children can no longer orphan Sandboxes.
* **Certification gates on real credentials and shipped artifacts.** Live credentialed certification lanes exercise the certified composition against real provider credentials, release certification binds to the built wheel/sdist artifact identity, and behavior-freeze gates lock recursive delegation, stream settlement, and operator evidence retention against certified behavior.
### Fixes
* Hardened volume and artifact integrity lanes, closed an unawaited staging cleanup coroutine on supervisor-saturation fallback, and hardened recovery cancellation so failure paths settle without leaked tasks or files.
## Week of August 17 β Fleet Prime Agent
### New features
**Fleet Prime Agent β self-improving RLM agent with persistent sessions and a standalone web UI**
Fleet Prime Agent is a new product in the Qredence suite. Prime Agent runs as a daemon-backed agent with persistent IPython-backed sessions, subagent spawning via `rlm`, and a standalone Qredence web UI. Sessions support branching, tool cards render every tool call inline, and streaming chat flows through the typed `AgentSessionEvent` / `ChatStreamEvent` / `AgentMessage` contracts. See [Introduction to Fleet Prime Agent](/fleet-prime-agent/introduction) and [Getting started](/fleet-prime-agent/quickstart).
**Bring-your-own provider and model selection**
Prime Agent's AI layer abstracts providers so you can pick your provider and model per session, including OAuth sign-in for hosted providers and MCP servers for extending the tool surface. See [Providers and models](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/providers-and-models), [OAuth](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/providers-and-models), and [MCP](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/providers-and-models).
**Coding agent with CLI, interactive mode, skills, and extensions**
The bundled coding agent ships a CLI, an interactive mode, a skills system, extensions, and a refinement loop, all backed by a session runtime that persists conversation and IPython state across runs. Trigger refinement or sign-in with slash commands (`/refine`, `/login`). See [Slash commands](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/web-workspace), [Sessions and branching](/fleet-prime-agent/concepts/sessions-and-projects), and the [coding agent overview](/fleet-prime-agent/concepts/architecture).
**Daemon protocol and web API**
Prime Agent exposes a daemon protocol for local integrations and a web API for the standalone UI, both documented with request/response shapes and streaming semantics. See [Daemon protocol](/fleet-prime-agent/concepts/architecture) and [Web API](/fleet-prime-agent/reference/http-api).
**Installer and release pipeline**
A one-shot installer sets up the runtime, and the release pipeline publishes signed builds for the daemon, CLI, TUI, and web surface. See [Installer](/fleet-prime-agent/install) and [Release pipeline](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/upgrading-the-runtime).
## Week of August 15 β Fleet-RLM 0.7.0
### New features
**Policy-controlled MLflow tracing across profiles**
Fleet now wires MLflow tracing directly from `config/fleet.toml` policy: managed profiles export to a Databricks destination, and interactive profiles export to the supervised local MLflow server that `fleet cli` runs on `127.0.0.1:5001`. At app boot the runtime applies `set_tracking_uri`, `set_experiment`, and `mlflow.dspy.autolog()` from the resolved policy, then opens a fail-soft `fleet_turn` root span on every live Turn. Managed profiles read `FLEET_MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME`, `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_CATALOG`, `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_SCHEMA`, `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_TABLE_PREFIX`, and `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACING_SQL_WAREHOUSE_ID`; benchmark profiles keep tracing off. See [Observability](/fleet-rlm/concepts/observability) and [Configuration reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration).
**Operator-facing `traceId` on Turns**
Live Turns now carry a `traceId` on the existing SSE `messageMetadata`, on TUI run status, and on durable assistant UI metadata, so operators can jump from a Turn straight to its DSPy trace without new SSE chunk types or Turn-path coupling. Export remains fail-soft β a broken tracing destination never fails a Turn.
### Updates
* **DSPy pinned to `3.3.0`.** The native Fleet RLM integration is migrated from `3.3.0b1` to the final DSPy `3.3.0` release, preserving `max_iterations` while adapting to DSPy's finalized construction and caller-owned interpreter contract. Native Turns, live per-iteration observation, recursive children, and deterministic test composition retain their event and cleanup behavior. Fleet no longer projects a second token-level `dspy.streamify` protocol. See [DSPy integration](/fleet-rlm/guides/dspy-integration).
* **`fastapi[standard]` bumped to `==0.141.1`.** Takes the 0.140.x dependency-solver memory refactors and SSE/streaming endpoint fixes. Schema generation is byte-identical for the routed API surface, so `openapi.yaml` and the pi-tui generated types are unchanged.
* **Daytona SDK bumped to `==0.202.0`.** Picks up the Daytona event-subscription expiry-worker fix and the 0.201.0/0.202.0 SDK additions with no code changes. `httpx2` is re-locked at `2.9.1`.
* **Provider/profile matrix aligned with `config/fleet.toml`.** Interactive profiles (`daytona`, `daytona-recursive`) use OpenCode Go with 16,000-token roles; managed and benchmark profiles use the Databricks AI Gateway with 8,000-token roles. The [profile matrix](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration) and `.env.example` resolve credentials from the selected policy instead of assuming one provider.
* **Bounded no-progress repair in the Daytona interpreter.** A repeated identical interpreter action that makes no progress now returns one bounded repair message ("Repeated interpreter action produced no progressβ¦") instead of terminating the Turn immediately. Only a second consecutive identical repeat raises `RunNoProgressError`. Empty and oversized intermediate code keep their direct repair messages, and any different action resets the counter. Models gain one bounded recovery step on repetitive loops before the Turn is stopped.
* **Required pi-tui install step.** `uv sync` does not install the terminal client's Node dependencies. Run `pnpm --dir tools/fleet-tui install --frozen-lockfile` before `fleet cli`. See [Install fleet-rlm](/fleet-rlm/installation).
## Week of August 10 β Qredence Plugins catalogue
### New features
**Qredence Plugins β dual-target plugin catalogue for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex**
Qredence Plugins is a new catalogue of plugins that install into both Claude Code and OpenAI Codex from a single marketplace. Each plugin gives a coding agent a focused operating mode: auditing repo readiness, optimizing evaluation harnesses, building research wikis, or orchestrating issue-driven work. Add the marketplace with `claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/Qredence/qredence-plugins` or `codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/Qredence/qredence-plugins`, then install the plugin you want. See [Introduction to Qredence Plugins](/qredence-plugins/introduction) and the [quickstart](/qredence-plugins/quickstart).
**Four installable plugins in the initial catalogue**
* **[`harness-engineering`](/qredence-plugins/plugins/harness-engineering)** β audits repo legibility, scaffolds durable repo docs, and adds validation lanes and drift controls so agents work with stronger guardrails.
* **[`meta-harness`](/qredence-plugins/plugins/meta-harness)** β scaffolds a workspace, validates candidate `harness.py` files, and runs outer-loop search across prompt, retrieval, parsing, and memory strategies.
* **[`rlm-wiki`](/qredence-plugins/plugins/rlm-wiki)** β wraps Fleet-RLM with a Daytona-backed markdown wiki that ingests URLs, files, PDFs, and transcripts and answers questions from compiled knowledge.
* **[`symphony`](/qredence-plugins/plugins/symphony)** β reference Symphony service that polls Linear issues, creates per-issue workspaces, and runs Codex app-server sessions governed by a repository `WORKFLOW.md`.
**Three skill-library plugins**
* **[`development`](/qredence-plugins/plugins/development)** β bundles `cross-examine` for plan stress-tests, `data-viz-renderer` for HTML and SVG charts, and `skill-evaluator` for scoring local skills.
* **[`legal`](/qredence-plugins/plugins/legal)** β ships the `tos-clause-scanner` skill for consumer-perspective review of Terms of Service, user agreements, and privacy policies.
* **[`autoresearch-dspy`](/qredence-plugins/plugins/autoresearch-dspy)** β ratchet-style autonomous experiment loops on DSPy 3.1.3 and `dspy.RLM`, with confidence-aware classification scoring via the GEPA `ConfidenceAdapter`.
**Plugin authoring guide**
A new authoring reference documents the shared folder layout, Claude and Codex manifests, and the marketplace checklist for shipping a dual-target plugin bundle. See [Author a Qredence plugin](/qredence-plugins/authoring), [Use plugins in Claude Code](/qredence-plugins/claude), and [Use plugins in OpenAI Codex](/qredence-plugins/codex).
## Week of August 3 β GEPA Omni follow-ups
### Updates
**GEPA Omni now targets any OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint**
Both the GEPA proposer and the native Omni agent runner (AutoResearch, Meta-Harness, and Best-of-N) now speak a single OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions boundary instead of provider-specific paths, so you can point Omni at any Chat-Completions-compatible model β including the Neon AI Gateway or your own hosted OSS model β without patching the plugin. Fleet Pi compatibility is preserved, token budgets and staged workspace payloads are validated per proposal, and concurrent proposals stay isolated. See the [GEPA Omni quickstart](/gepa-omni/quickstart) and [API reference](/gepa-omni/api-reference).
### Bug fixes
* **Interactive setup gate for missing model and base URL.** The `gepa-omni-skill` now prompts once through the skill surface when `OMNI_MODEL` or `OMNI_BASE_URL` is missing, keeps the prompted values process-scoped, and never asks for API keys inside chat β keys must still come from the environment or your secret manager. Non-interactive preflight behavior is unchanged, so CI runs still fail fast on missing config. See [GEPA Omni quickstart](/gepa-omni/quickstart) and [Gotchas](/gepa-omni/gotchas).
## Week of August 3 β Three new products
### New features
**GEPA Omni β Agent Plugins 1.0 optimizer for any scorable text artifact**
GEPA Omni packages the GEPA Anything optimization stack as an Agent Plugins 1.0 plugin. Write an evaluator that scores a candidate and explains why it failed, and Omni's two-phase workflow runs three exploration engines (GEPA, AutoResearch, Meta-Harness) in parallel before handing the best candidate to a fresh continuation engine. Install through the Codex marketplace with `codex plugin marketplace add Qredence/gepa-omni` and invoke the shipped `gepa-omni-skill` on prompts, programs, configurations, schemas, SQL, regex, plans, or agent instructions. See [Introduction to GEPA Omni](/gepa-omni/introduction).
**Qredence Skills β 62 Figma agent skills installable with `skills.sh`**
Qredence Skills is a curated catalogue of practical Figma design and product skills for AI agents. Each skill is a single `SKILL.md` with a trigger description and an evidence-backed workflow, grouped by job across accessibility, design systems, components and code mapping, layout, prototyping and motion, and more. Install with `npx skills@latest add qredence/skills`, pick the skills and target agents, and invoke by name or task description. See [Introduction to Qredence Skills](/skills/introduction).
**Fleet Reasoner β Qlaw reasoning engine on DSPy 3.3.0**
Fleet Reasoner (`qlaw-dspy`) re-implements Qlaw as a compilable, evaluable program on DSPy 3.3.0. Every layer is a typed `dspy.Module`: seven optimizable lenses (`SemanticInterpreter`, `Decomposer`, `OntologyArchitect`, `TrajectoryStrategist`, `Critic`, `GroundingEnricher`, `Explainer`), a single `ReasoningEngine` module for the Selection β Routing β Invocation β Expansion β Critic loop, and a multi-turn `dspy.ReActV2` chat agent with lenses-as-tools. Ships with a FastAPI + SSE server, a tldraw web frontend, and per-lens trainsets so every tier is `MIPROv2` / `BootstrapFewShot` / `GEPA` optimizable and `Refine`-validated. See [Introduction to Fleet Reasoner](/fleet-reasoner/introduction).
## Fleet Pi β Named OpenAI-compatible instances
### New features
**Multiple named OpenAI Chat Completions providers per user**
Each user can now save several OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoints in parallel β for example one instance for OpenCode Zen and another for Nebius β instead of overwriting a single BYOK slot. Each instance carries its own display name, base URL, model ID, and API key, and shows up as a distinct row in the config panel and the model picker. Deployed chat encrypts them in Postgres; local anonymous chat persists them in a gitignored `.fleet/providers.json` file store. The default OCC slot still exists and still takes precedence over the platform Neon AI Gateway. See [Named OpenAI-compatible instances](/fleet-pi/configuration#named-openai-compatible-instances).
### Updates
* **Named instances work in local anonymous chat.** Fleet Pi now picks the storage backend at runtime: Postgres `pi_user_providers` for signed-in deployed users, and a per-project `.fleet/providers.json` file store for local anonymous chat. OCC-family instances may point at `http://localhost` on local dev surfaces (useful for Ollama or LM Studio); deployed chat keeps `https://` enforced at both save time and runtime registration.
* **Broken named OCC instances surface as "Not configured".** If a named instance's stored API key can't be decrypted or its base URL fails the safety checks, Fleet Pi now skips registration with a warning diagnostic and marks the row as Not configured in Settings β the model picker no longer advertises endpoints that would fail at request time. See [Named OpenAI-compatible instances](/fleet-pi/configuration#named-openai-compatible-instances).
* **Daytona sandbox sync stays on the default OCC slot.** Additional named OpenAI-compatible instances live in the chat runtime's provider store and are not injected into the user's Daytona sandbox. Sandbox tool calls needing one of those endpoints go through the chat runtime, not directly from the container. See [Provider credentials in the sandbox](/fleet-pi/configuration#provider-credentials-in-the-sandbox).
## Week of July 27 β Fleet Pi
### New features
**Neon AI Gateway as the default authenticated chat backend**
Signed-in users on deployed environments now get working chat immediately after login β no BYOK required. Fleet Pi routes authenticated chat through the Neon AI Gateway as the platform OpenAI-Chat-Completions backend, with `qwen35-122b-a10b` enabled as the primary model and `gpt-oss-120b` also available. Local dev and anonymous chat still default to Google Gemini (`gemini-3.5-flash`). See [Neon AI Gateway](/fleet-pi/configuration#neon-ai-gateway-default-authenticated-chat).
**BYOK takes precedence over the platform Gateway**
Users who save their own OpenAI-Chat-Completions provider in the in-app config panel continue to hit their own endpoint. Legacy OCC records are only migrated to the platform Gateway shape when the Gateway is active and the user has not brought their own credentials. See [BYOK precedence](/fleet-pi/configuration#byok-precedence).
### Updates
* **`*.neon.tech` host allowlist on the Gateway URL.** Fleet Pi normalizes the Gateway base URL to a single `/v1` suffix and rejects any host that does not resolve to `*.neon.tech`, so a misconfigured variable can never route chat to an untrusted origin. See [URL shape](/fleet-pi/configuration#url-shape).
* **Gateway credentials scrubbed from the process environment.** `NEON_AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL` and `NEON_AI_GATEWAY_TOKEN` are captured into process memory once at boot and then deleted from `process.env`, so agent shell tools cannot read the token by inspecting environment variables at runtime.
* **Tightened deployment readiness gate.** `pnpm verify-deployment-readiness` now validates that `NEON_AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL` is a well-formed, allowlisted Gateway URL β not just present. Deploys fail closed on a malformed or off-allowlist value instead of silently shipping broken chat. See [Readiness gate](/fleet-pi/configuration#readiness-gate).
## Week of June 29 β Fleet-RLM 0.6.2
### New features
**Bring-your-own-key (BYOK) LLM provider profiles**
Hosted deployments running `AUTH_MODE=neon` can now bind their own planner and delegate LLM credentials per tenant/user. API keys are encrypted at rest with Fernet under `FLEET_SECRET_ENCRYPTION_KEY`, and responses only ever return `has_api_key` plus a masked preview β plaintext keys never cross the API surface, and the runtime does not mutate the process environment to route requests. See [Configuration](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration) and [HTTP API β LLM provider profiles](/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api).
**Per-workspace encrypted Daytona credentials**
`PATCH /api/v1/runtime/settings` under `AUTH_MODE=neon` now persists each workspace's `DAYTONA_*` keys as encrypted `workspace_runtime_settings` ciphertext instead of returning `403 forbidden`. Chat and runtime paths resolve the per-user Daytona config first and fall back to the server-level env only if none is set. Non-Daytona keys remain local-only. See [HTTP API reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api).
**LiteLLM custom-provider opt-in hint**
Two new environment variables β `DSPY_LM_CUSTOM_PROVIDER` and `DSPY_DELEGATE_LM_CUSTOM_PROVIDER` β let OpenAI-compatible bare-model endpoints pass an explicit `custom_llm_provider` hint to LiteLLM. The runtime no longer force-sets `custom_llm_provider="openai"` for every bare model with an `api_base`, so Anthropic and other non-OpenAI providers stop receiving OpenAI-format requests. See [Configuration](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration).
**`PATCH /api/v1/runtime/settings` reports skipped keys**
Responses now include a `skipped` field listing masked-round-trip keys that were intentionally not persisted, so clients can distinguish `updated` keys from ignored no-op saves.
### Updates
* **FastAPI pinned to `==0.139.0`.** Installs are reproducible on the current validated FastAPI release instead of floating forward against a `>=0.138.2` floor.
* **`litellm` policy hardened.** LiteLLM is installed only as DSPy's transitive dependency; `[tool.uv].override-dependencies` still pins `litellm>=1.87.0` to close 7 documented CVEs. A parse-time invariant test fails if `litellm` is ever re-added to direct deps or removed from the override pin.
* **Neon multi-tenant migrations.** `llm_role_bindings` is now UUID-PK'd and scoped by `tenant_id` / `user_id` / `workspace_id`; the `workspace_runtime_settings` unique constraint is tightened to `(tenant_id, workspace_id)` so the settings upsert is tenant-aware.
* **README rewritten** around the actual routed surfaces (`/app/workspace`, `/app/optimization`, `/app/volumes`, `/app/settings`) and the current `make` / `pnpm` validation lanes.
### Bug fixes
* **Legacy XOR-encrypted profile ciphertext keeps decrypting.** After rotation, the runtime tries `FLEET_SECRET_ENCRYPTION_KEY`, `DEV_JWT_SECRET`, and `change-me` in turn until a stored row decrypts β old rows are no longer bricked by rotating in a real Fernet key.
* **No cross-tenant BYOK leak from the connectivity probe.** `POST /runtime/tests/lm` no longer mutates the shared `LmDeps.planner_lm` singleton; the per-user planner is invoked directly, so a smoke test can never swap another user's in-flight chat onto a foreign BYOK LM.
* **Decrypt failures are observable.** `GET /api/v1/runtime/settings` logs when a stored `DAYTONA_API_KEY` fails to decrypt (without leaking the value), and the PATCH path treats an empty incoming value for a key with an existing stored credential as a no-op β a failed GET can no longer enable an empty save that wipes the stored key.
## Week of June 17 β Fleet-RLM 0.6.0
### New features
**Workbench sidepanel with Trajectories, Graph, and Volume tabs**
A workspace-local collapsible sidepanel now sits alongside the chat. `Trajectories` renders the session trace timeline, `Graph` renders a React Flow parent/child span view backed by persisted MLflow/debug spans, and `Volume` embeds a searchable Daytona volume tree with resizable desktop split and inline file preview. Chat stays the primary surface; the sidepanel starts closed and can resize up to 75% of the workspace width. See [Concepts β Observability](/fleet-rlm/concepts/observability).
**Per-trace performance summaries**
The session trace debug contract now carries span durations, token counts, output sizes, selected-skill metadata, and adapter fallback signals per trace. The sidepanel can diagnose slow or noisy RLM runs directly from the same durable trace lookup used by the timeline and graph.
**Active skill injection into the sandbox**
Selected scaffold-skill markdown is injected as a sandbox variable for RLM turns, document turns, and workspace turns β the REPL sees the skill without stuffing full instructions into every model prompt.
**Bounded RLM action-generation token budget**
Operators can cap the action-prompt token budget separately from REPL output truncation. The effective budget is exposed in runtime settings metadata and attributed on every trace so slow turns can be traced back to their action-generation configuration.
### Updates
* **GEPA is now the only supported public optimizer.** MIPROv2 was removed from the unified optimization pipeline. CLI, API, manifests, and the Optimization UI all target one optimizer contract. See the [CLI reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/cli).
* **Unified `RuntimeEvent` streaming.** Runtime, persistence, and Web UI consumers now share one typed streaming contract for execution start, step, and completion frames β the public Workbench frame shapes are unchanged.
* **Hardened session trace lookup.** `Trajectories` and `Graph` now populate from live session traces after a message completes, even before the frontend has a durable session id β trace lookup resolves both durable chat-session ids and runtime websocket `external_session_id` values.
* **Frontend feature-module reorganization.** Feature entrypoints are now the public boundary; routes and layout consume stable feature contracts and import-boundary linting blocks deep coupling. shadcn-style primitives were migrated from Radix wrappers to Base UI primitives while preserving the existing button, tooltip, popover, dialog, menu, scroll-area, and toggle contracts.
* **Compact local chat-history persistence.** Local storage now stores session previews and durable session ids instead of full rendered transcripts, so quota failures never break chat saves.
* **RLM action generation compacted.** Long REPL histories are compacted before action generation and driven through `JSONAdapter`, so long-running sessions spend fewer tokens on prior tool output and avoid avoidable chat-adapter fallback retries.
### Removed
* **MIPROv2 public optimizer surface.** Review bundles, CLI flags, and API requests no longer advertise a second optimizer.
* **Retired Tool UI helpers.** Option-list and shared action helpers were removed after Agent Elements became the canonical tool-rendering path.
### Notes
* `GET /api/v1/optimization/runs/compare` remains API-ready; the Compare tab UI is deferred to v1.1.
## Week of June 11 β Fleet Pi 0.5.0
### New features
**hax-design consolidation**
`packages/ui` is renamed to `packages/hax-design` and is now the single source of truth for agent-elements, OpenUI, Fleet Pi chat surfaces, shadcn primitives, and shared Pi protocol types. `apps/web` routes are thinner, and the config panel is split into focused modules. Forks must update imports from `@workspace/ui` to `@workspace/hax-design`. See [Project structure](/fleet-pi/project-structure).
**Google Gemini as the default LLM provider**
The default model is now `gemini-3.5-flash` through Pi's `google` provider. Extensions receive mode-aware context (`ctx.mode`, `getSystemPromptOptions()`). Amazon Bedrock remains available via AWS credentials β set provider and model in `.pi/settings.json` or environment variables if you need it. See [Configuration](/fleet-pi/configuration).
**Neon Postgres session mirror**
Setting `FLEET_PI_CHAT_DATABASE_URL` mirrors Pi session entries, run events, tool executions, and file mutations into Neon tables prefixed with `pi_`. JSONL remains the source of truth and mirror failures never break streaming. Apply migrations with `pnpm chat:migrate`. See [Configuration](/fleet-pi/configuration) and [Runtime SDK integration](/fleet-pi/runtime-sdk-integration).
**Web access tools in Agent mode**
The new `pi-web-access` package wires `web_search`, `fetch_content`, and `code_search` into Agent mode end-to-end. See [Chat modes](/fleet-pi/chat-modes).
### Updates
* **Memory recall improvements.** Workspace memory content is now enriched and retrieval is prompt-aware for better long-session context.
* **Question bar UX.** New `usePendingQuestionBar` hook and `suppressQuestionTool` prop on `AgentChat` for cleaner Plan-mode question handling.
* **Security and reliability.** Critical and high-severity issues fixed and vulnerable transitive dependencies patched.
* **Documentation.** Comprehensive docs added for the UI package, configuration, data models, dependencies, and security posture.
### Breaking changes
* Import path rename: `@workspace/ui` β `@workspace/hax-design` (package directory: `packages/ui` β `packages/hax-design`).
* Default LLM provider changed from Amazon Bedrock to Google Gemini.
* New optional environment variables for the chat mirror: `FLEET_PI_CHAT_DATABASE_URL`, `FLEET_PI_CHAT_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL`.
## Week of June 11 β Fleet-RLM 0.5.50
### New features
**MIPROv2 as an optional offline optimizer**
The unified offline optimization pipeline now accepts MIPROv2 alongside the default GEPA backend. Pass `--optimizer miprov2` to `fleet-rlm optimize`, or send `"optimizer": "miprov2"` in the body of `POST /api/v1/optimization/runs`. CLI, API, MLflow run metadata, and review bundles share the same runner, so existing GEPA tooling keeps working unchanged. See the [DSPy integration guide](/fleet-rlm/guides/dspy-integration) and the [CLI reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/cli).
**Native `dspy.RLM` large-input support**
Large documents and workspace context now ship to the sandbox through DSPy's upstream `SandboxSerializable` contract. Use `LargeDocument` or `WorkspaceContext` from `fleet_rlm.runtime.sandbox_types` on a signature input field, and `dspy.RLM` injects the payload into the REPL as a native Python dict while the LM only sees a short preview. Custom signatures that previously relied on Fleet-maintained variable-mode wrappers should switch to these types. See [DSPy integration](/fleet-rlm/guides/dspy-integration#large-inputs).
### Updates
* **DSPy pinned to `3.3.0b1`.** Fleet now depends on the upstream DSPy `RLM` and `SandboxSerializable` contracts directly; the local DSPy monkeypatch modules have been removed. Programs that build modules through `fleet_rlm.runtime.modules` keep working without changes.
* **Unified `dspy.streamify` chat streaming.** Direct, tool-using, and recursive RLM turns now share one WebSocket replay path with `response`-first DSPy signatures. The public Workbench WebSocket frame shapes are unchanged β existing clients require no updates. See [Observability β WebSocket execution events](/fleet-rlm/concepts/observability).
* **Centralized DSPy observability callback registration.** MLflow and PostHog callbacks are now registered once through a shared registry that stays lazy, deduplicated, and visible to worker-thread DSPy contexts. Optional observability stays optional β no configuration changes are required.
### Removed
* **Variable-mode wrappers and local DSPy patch modules.** Retired together with archived optimization/history frontend clients and legacy bare WebSocket frame parsing. The supported surface is the generated OpenAPI client and the canonical WebSocket event envelope.
## Week of May 23 β Fleet-RLM 0.5.40
### New features
**Canonical API error envelope across all HTTP and WebSocket routes**
Every error response on `/api/v1/*` now returns the same `{ code, message, detail }` JSON shape, including FastAPI validation errors and unknown-route 404s served by Starlette. Branch on the stable `code` field instead of parsing `message`. See [HTTP and WebSocket API](/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api).
**Volume access security boundaries**
`GET /api/v1/runtime/volume/tree` and `/api/v1/runtime/volume/file` now enforce explicit canonical roots and return `403 forbidden` for paths outside them. The tree endpoint accepts a new `max_entries` parameter (default `200`, max `1000`) and reports `max_depth`, `max_entries`, and `entries_returned` so clients can tell when a listing was clipped. File previews include `sha256`, `encoding` (`utf-8`, `utf-8-lossy`, or `binary`), and a `binary` flag so you can deduplicate or short-circuit on non-text files. See [Volume access boundaries](/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api#volume-tree).
**Offline-only DSPy module flag**
`GET /api/v1/optimization/modules` entries now carry an `offline_only` field (default `true`) so optimization UIs know which modules can only be tuned through the offline endpoints, not from live traffic.
### Updates
* **Health probe shape clarified.** `GET /health` now returns `status: "live"` instead of `ok: true`. The legacy `ok` field has been removed. ([HTTP API reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api#health-probes))
* **Readiness 503 carries component state.** `GET /ready` now returns the same `ReadyResponse` body on `503`, so monitoring probes can read which component is missing or degraded from a failing response. The redundant `planner_configured` field was removed β read `planner` instead.
* **Sandbox environment variables are redacted.** The `env_vars` field on sandbox responses no longer surfaces raw secret values.
* **Recursive RLM delegation, DSPy signatures, and streaming contracts** redesigned around clearer service boundaries while preserving the public Workbench WebSocket frame shapes.
* **Daytona VFS and evidence substrate** redesigned with explicit security boundaries between child workspaces, mounted volumes, and evidence staging. See [Daytona runtime](/fleet-rlm/concepts/daytona-runtime).
* **CLI** now emits structured errors matching the canonical API envelope. See the [CLI reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/cli).
### Removed
* **Memory API retired.** `/api/v1/memory*` is no longer part of the supported HTTP surface. Memory item browsing has been removed from the API navigation and OpenAPI schema. Clients that depended on listing memory items should migrate to the session endpoints under `/api/v1/sessions/*`.
## Week of May 20
### Updates
**Fleet-RLM β decoupled WebSocket streaming runtime**
Turn execution no longer runs inline with the WebSocket handler. Each user message is processed in a background task that builds its own agent context and publishes execution events through a shared event emitter. The same emitter fans out frames to every subscriber on `/api/v1/ws/execution` and `/api/v1/ws/execution/events`, so a dropped or reconnected client no longer cancels the turn. No client changes are required β frame shapes are unchanged. See [Observability](/fleet-rlm/concepts/observability) and [HTTP and WebSocket API](/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api).
**Fleet-RLM β Entra JWKS cache and `joserfc` token validation**
`AUTH_MODE=entra` now uses [`joserfc`](https://jose.authlib.org/) instead of `PyJWT` for token verification and ships with a built-in JWKS cache (5-minute TTL) that falls back to the last-known keyset if Entra's JWKS endpoint is unreachable. Bearer-token validation, `tid`/`aud`/`iss` enforcement, and tenant admission behavior are unchanged. See [Deployment](/fleet-rlm/guides/deployment).
### Bug fixes
* **Final assistant text no longer duplicated in replay.** The terminal trajectory step now omits the planner's intermediate thought, so reopening a session replays the assistant's final response once instead of twice. ([Sessions and persistence](/fleet-rlm/concepts/sessions-persistence))
* **Frontend WebSocket parser prefers `step.output` for final frames.** Execution-step envelopes with `kind: "final"` now surface the actual response text instead of the internal label.
## Week of May 12 β May 19
### New features
**Fleet-RLM 0.5.3 β backend-driven runtime settings**
The Settings page now renders typed runtime options and diagnostics directly from backend descriptors, so available configuration always matches what the server actually supports. See [Configuration reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration).
**Fleet-RLM β "About this instance" panel**
A new Settings panel surfaces the running service version, environment, and feature flags so you can confirm exactly what's deployed before filing an issue. Powered by the new `/api/v1/info` endpoint in the [HTTP API reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api).
**Fleet-RLM β MLflow observability and auto-assessment**
MLflow span processors now emit richer trace metadata, and you can wire scorer schedules to run automated assessment loops over completed sessions. See [Observability](/fleet-rlm/concepts/observability).
**Fleet Pi β Daytona sandbox integration**
Pi chat modes can now invoke Daytona sandbox tools end-to-end, with webhook and client support added to the web surface and improved startup memory recall. See [Chat modes](/fleet-pi/chat-modes) and [Runtime SDK integration](/fleet-pi/runtime-sdk-integration).
### Updates
* **Session titles auto-derive from the first user message** when no title is set, so conversations get human-readable labels without manual renaming. ([fleet-rlm](/fleet-rlm/introduction))
* **Workbench UI polish** β refined sidepanel controls, event display, and composer prompt overhead for a cleaner workspace.
* **Runtime stack alignment** β Fleet-RLM is now tested and published against Daytona 0.176, DSPy 3.2.1, Pydantic 2.13.4, SQLModel 0.0.38, Psycopg 3.3.4, Typer 0.25.1, and Uvicorn 0.47.0. Update your environment to match β see [Installation](/fleet-rlm/installation).
* **Fleet-RLM 0.5.31** patch release with a synced OpenAPI schema for frontend and SDK consumers.
### Bug fixes
* **History page restored.** Conversation titles and transcript replay now show correctly when the durable session store only contains placeholder rows β the History view falls back to local conversation history instead of rendering opaque IDs.
* **Resilient analytics initialization.** PostHog callback registration no longer fails in threaded environments; it retries under a settings lock when needed.
* **Hardened recursive delegation.** Remote document context, degraded child execution metadata, and chunk-document aliases are handled more defensively, so partial failures surface clearly instead of returning stale evidence. See [Recursive RLM](/fleet-rlm/concepts/recursive-rlm).
* **Frontend dependency security patches** applied to address Dependabot alerts.

# Adaptive workspace contract
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-pi/adaptive-workspace
Fleet Pi's canonical workspace contract β the manifest, section families, kinds, durable file boundary, and non-canonical projection layer for indexes.
This page records the accepted adaptive-workspace contract for Fleet Pi. It defines the canonical durable state, the manifest and section boundaries, and the non-canonical projection layer that may accelerate queries but never replaces files.
The contract is implemented in [`apps/web/src/lib/workspace/workspace-contract.ts`](https://github.com/Qredence/fleet-pi/blob/main/apps/web/src/lib/workspace/workspace-contract.ts) and is currently at `WORKSPACE_CONTRACT_VERSION = 1`.
## Canonical boundary
`agent-workspace/` is the canonical durable adaptive state.
* Durable memory, skills, plans, evals, and artifacts remain **path-backed files**.
* Workspace-installed Pi resources and policy material follow the same rule: reviewable files win over caches, rows, or hidden runtime state.
* `scratch/` is non-canonical temporary space. It can hold disposable working files, but it is not durable adaptive memory.
* `agent-workspace/indexes/` stores non-canonical projection data. Projection rows may accelerate search, health, provenance, or query flows, but canonical files still decide what Fleet Pi knows.
## Accepted workspace shape
```text theme={null}
agent-workspace/
βββ manifest.json
βββ instructions/
βββ system/
βββ memory/
β βββ daily/
β βββ project/
β βββ research/
βββ plans/
β βββ active/
β βββ completed/

β βββ skills/
β βββ prompts/
β βββ extensions/
β β βββ enabled/
β β βββ staged/
β βββ packages/
βββ indexes/
```
`agent-workspace/manifest.json` describes the workspace shape and the versioned policy of the adaptive layer. Bootstrap may seed missing artifacts later, but the names and semantics of the sections above are fixed.
## Section families and kinds
Every top-level section has a **kind** that the workspace server enforces:
| Section | Kind | Purpose |
| --------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `instructions/` | canonical | Durable orientation and operational guidance that survives sessions. |
| `system/` | canonical | Workspace policy and system-level instructions (e.g., `workspace-policy.md`). |
| `memory/` | canonical | Durable project knowledge, daily notes, and research. |
| `plans/` | canonical | Explicit execution plans and backlog state (`active/`, `completed/`, `abandoned/`). |
| `skills/` | canonical | Repo-local agent skills and supporting examples/evals. |
| `evals/` | canonical | Checklists, scorecards, and regression-oriented evaluation material. |
| `artifacts/` | canonical | Durable reports, datasets, traces, and reusable outputs. |
| `.pi/` | canonical | Workspace-installed Pi skills, prompts, extensions, and packages. |
| `scratch/` | temporary | Disposable working files only β never durable memory. |
| `indexes/` | projection | Projection / query state only β never canonical. |
The canonical kinds are exported as `WORKSPACE_SECTION_KINDS = ["canonical", "temporary", "projection"]`.
## Workspace-installed Pi resources
The canonical home for chat-installed Pi resources is inside `agent-workspace/.pi/`:
* `agent-workspace/.pi/skills`
* `agent-workspace/.pi/prompts`
* `agent-workspace/.pi/extensions` (with `enabled/` and `staged/` subdirectories)
* `agent-workspace/.pi/packages`
These directories stay canonical because the installed resource itself is a reviewable file or directory in the repository. The project-level `.pi/settings.json` at the repo root points Pi at these workspace paths so both project built-ins and workspace-installed resources load together.
## Workspace policy files
The contract seeds a small set of policy files when missing. The current default is `system/workspace-policy.md`, which states:
> `agent-workspace/` is Fleet Pi's canonical durable adaptive state. Bootstrap should preserve user-authored files.
Bootstrap **never overwrites** user-authored content. It only fills in absent canonical paths and the manifest.
## `.pi/settings.json` compatibility bridge
`.pi/settings.json` remains the compatibility bridge between the Pi runtime and workspace-native resources. It may point Pi at `agent-workspace/.pi/*`, but it does not replace the workspace as the durable store.
That means:
* Committed `.pi/` configuration can keep loading project-local built-ins.
* Workspace-installed resources still live under `agent-workspace/.pi/`.
* Changing the bridge must not imply changing where the canonical resource content lives.
## Non-regression rules
* Never promote `indexes/` rows above canonical files.
* Never treat session state as durable memory.
* Never write durable memory outside of the section families above.
* Bootstrap, health, indexing, and query surfaces must remain projections β they read canonical files, they do not replace them.
* Existing canonical files under `agent-workspace/` remain authoritative until bootstrap and indexing milestones land.

# Agent workspace
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-pi/agent-workspace
Tour of agent-workspace/ β Fleet Pi's repo-local home for durable agent memory, execution plans, skills, evals, artifacts, and installed Pi resources.
`agent-workspace/` is Fleet Pi's living directory. It is the repo-local home for the durable context that lets Fleet Pi behave like an adaptive, self-improving coding system instead of a stateless chat window.
For the accepted canonical workspace contract, manifest and section boundaries, and projection rules, see the [adaptive workspace contract](/fleet-pi/adaptive-workspace).
## What lives here
| Path | Purpose |
| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `agent-workspace/memory/` | Durable project knowledge |
| `agent-workspace/plans/` | Explicit execution plans and backlogs |
| `agent-workspace/skills/` | Repo-local agent skills |
| `agent-workspace/evals/` | Quality and regression checklists |
| `agent-workspace/artifacts/` | Reports, traces, and reusable outputs |
| `agent-workspace/scratch/` | Safe temporary working files |
| `agent-workspace/.pi/` | Workspace-installed Pi skills, prompts, extensions, and packages |
| `agent-workspace/indexes/` | Non-canonical projection storage (search, health, query acceleration) |
## Why it matters
Fleet Pi keeps important agent context in normal repository files so that:
* Project memory can be reviewed and refined over time.
* Plans stay visible to humans and agents.
* Newly installed Pi resources are discoverable instead of hidden in transient runtime state.
* Self-improvement remains part of the repository's change history.
## Relationship to `.pi/` and `docs/`
* `docs/` is the human-facing documentation surface.
* `agent-workspace/` is the agent-facing operational surface.
* `.pi/` contains committed project Pi configuration and built-in runtime bridges.
* `agent-workspace/.pi/` is the canonical home for chat-installed Pi resources.
Root `.pi/settings.json` remains a compatibility bridge that points Pi at the workspace-native resource directories.
## Durable self-improvement
Fleet Pi is intentionally opinionated:
* Durable improvements belong in reviewable Git diffs.
* Canonical memory should live in the smallest relevant file.
* Ad hoc notes should stay temporary unless they are later synthesized.
* Transient runtime or session state should not be treated as the source of truth.

### GET /api/chat/session Β· DELETE /api/chat/session
Hydrate or delete a chat session by query parameters. `DELETE` removes the caller's owned mirror row in Neon (cascading run, tool, and file mutation rows) and best-effort cleans up the ephemeral JSONL file. Requires an authenticated Better Auth session and passes ownership verification against the Neon mirror.
| Name | In | Required | Description |
| ------------- | ----- | -------- | ----------------- |
| `sessionFile` | query | No | Session file path |
| `sessionId` | query | No | Session ID |
**GET responses**

**DELETE responses**
* **200** β `{ ok: true, sessionId, sessionFile }`
* **401** β Unauthorized.
* **403** β Session is not owned by the caller.
* **404** β Session not owned or missing (`{ ok: false, reason: "session-not-owned-or-missing" }`).

* **503** β Mirror unavailable.
### DELETE /api/chat/account
Erase all mirrored Pi data for the signed-in user: every row in `pi_sessions` (cascading transcripts, runs, tool output, and file mutations) and every BYOK provider credential in `pi_user_providers`. Ownership is enforced under Neon RLS and only the caller's data is touched.
Better Auth identity rows are **not** deleted β coordinate account deletion in Better Auth separately if required. Workspace files on disk are not reverted.
**Responses**

### GET /api/chat/settings Β· POST /api/chat/settings
Read or patch effective `ChatPiSettings`: compaction, retry, default model and thinking level, enabled models, extensions, packages, prompts, skills, themes, transport, and steering / follow-up delivery modes.
**POST request body**
```json theme={null}
{ "settings": { "": "..." } }
```
**POST response**
```json theme={null}
{
"diagnostics": [],
"effective": { "": "..." },
"project": { "": "..." },
"projectPath": "",
"updateImpact": {
"newSessionRecommended": false,
"resourceReloadRequired": false
}
}
```
## Workspace
Workspace endpoints read and write the durable layer described by the [adaptive workspace contract](/fleet-pi/adaptive-workspace).
Every `/api/workspace/*` route resolves the caller's user-scoped workspace and rejects unauthenticated callers with `401 Unauthorized` on protected deployments (Vercel, Neon Managed Auth, Neon Function surface, or `FLEET_PI_CHAT_RUNTIME_REQUIRE_AUTH=1`). Send either a Neon Auth `Authorization: Bearer ` header or an authenticated session cookie. Local development without auth configured continues to serve the repo-scoped workspace.
### GET /api/workspace/health
Workspace contract health (manifest version, missing canonical paths, projection state).
### GET /api/workspace/file
Read a canonical workspace file.
### GET /api/workspace/item Β· GET /api/workspace/items
Fetch a single workspace item or list items.
### GET /api/workspace/tree
Browse the workspace tree.
### GET /api/workspace/search
Search workspace items via the projection index in `agent-workspace/indexes/`.
### GET /api/workspace/reindex Β· POST /api/workspace/reindex
Rebuild the projection index. The canonical files are not modified β the index is recomputed.
On protected deployments, `POST /api/workspace/reindex` is protected by a double-submit CSRF token and a per-user rate limit:
* **Rate limit** β up to **5 requests per minute per user**. Excess calls return `429 Too Many Requests` with `Retry-After: 60`.
* **CSRF token** β cookie-authenticated callers must first `GET /api/workspace/reindex` to receive a `fleet_pi_csrf` cookie (HttpOnly, `SameSite=Strict`) plus a `csrfToken` in the response body, then echo the token back on the `POST` as the `x-fleet-csrf-token` header. Same-origin `Origin` (or `Referer`) is also required. Bearer-token callers skip CSRF because they are not vulnerable to cross-site cookie replay.
**Example**
```bash theme={null}
# 1. Fetch a CSRF token (session cookie assumed set by prior sign-in)
curl -c cookies.txt -b cookies.txt \
https://your-fleet-pi.example.com/api/workspace/reindex
# β { "csrfToken": "" }, sets fleet_pi_csrf cookie
# 2. POST with the token echoed in the header
curl -b cookies.txt -X POST \
-H "x-fleet-csrf-token: " \
https://your-fleet-pi.example.com/api/workspace/reindex
```
**Responses**
* **200** β reindex completed.
* **403** β `{ "message": "Invalid CSRF protection" }` when the CSRF token, cookie, or same-origin check fails.
* **429** β `{ "message": "Workspace reindex rate limit exceeded" }` with `Retry-After: 60`.
## Outbound network safety
The chat runtime's `web_fetch` tool only accepts **public HTTPS URLs**. Requests to `localhost`, loopback, RFC 1918 (`10.0.0.0/8`, `172.16.0.0/12`, `192.168.0.0/16`), link-local (`169.254.0.0/16`), or IPv6 unique-local (`fc00::/7`) addresses are rejected before any connection is opened, and DNS lookups are pinned so a public hostname cannot rebind to a private address between resolution and connect. GitHub `blob/` URLs are automatically rewritten to raw content URLs. Only `text/*` and `application/json` responses are returned; binary payloads are refused.
## Sandbox
Daytona-backed user sandboxes. Each authenticated user gets one isolated sandbox in **their** Daytona account (BYOK). Tool calls run inside the container, and a persistent volume mounted at `/home/daytona/agent-workspace` keeps the user's workspace across restarts. All routes require Better Auth.
### GET /api/sandbox/preview
Return a signed preview URL into the calling user's active Daytona sandbox.
| Name | In | Required | Description |
| ------ | ----- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `port` | query | No | Sandbox port to proxy. Defaults to `3000`. Must be an integer in `1..65535`. |
**Responses**
* **200** β `{ url }` β short-lived preview URL into the sandbox.
* **400** β `{ error: "Invalid port" }`
* **401** β `{ error: "Authentication required" }`
* **404** β `{ error: "No active sandbox for user" }`
* **503** β `{ error: "Sandbox not available" }` β Daytona is not enabled for the calling user. On Vercel this typically means the user has not saved a `daytona` provider secret; locally it usually means `DAYTONA_API_KEY` is unset.
### POST /api/webhooks/daytona
Receive lifecycle events from Daytona (sandbox start, stop, archive, delete). Side effects are applied only when the `x-daytona-signature` header verifies against `DAYTONA_WEBHOOK_SECRET`; otherwise the call is accepted and logged but ignored.
**Headers**
* `x-daytona-signature` β HMAC signature of the request body using `DAYTONA_WEBHOOK_SECRET`.
**Responses**
* **200** β `{ received: true }`
* **500** β `{ error: "Webhook processing failed" }`
See the [configuration reference](/fleet-pi/configuration#daytona-backed-user-sandboxes) for the required environment variables.
## Authentication
Fleet Pi routes follow a deployment-based auth policy:
* **Local development** (no `NEON_AUTH_BASE_URL` / `NEON_AUTH_URL` and not running on Vercel): chat and workspace endpoints allow anonymous access so the app works without login.
* **Vercel, Neon Managed Auth, or dual-host chat runtime**: session, catalog, and workspace routes require authentication. This covers `/api/chat/*` streaming and session routes, the catalog endpoints (`/api/chat/models`, `/api/chat/resources`, `/api/chat/commands`, `/api/chat/models/discover`), and every route under `/api/workspace/*`. Unauthenticated requests receive `401`.
* **`/api/sandbox/preview`** always requires authentication.
Neon Managed Auth clients mint a JWT via `authClient.token()` and send `Authorization: Bearer ` on every request. Better Auth clients use signed session cookies.
### `/api/auth/*`
Proxies [Neon Managed Auth](https://neon.tech) when `NEON_AUTH_BASE_URL` (or the VercelβNeon `NEON_AUTH_URL`) is set. Otherwise it serves [Better Auth](https://www.better-auth.com/) when `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` is set. See [configuration](/fleet-pi/configuration#authentication-better-auth) and the [Neon Managed Auth reference](/fleet-pi/configuration#neon-managed-auth-optional) for required environment variables.
## Health
### GET /api/health
Smoke endpoint used by the quickstart.
**Responses**
* **200** β `{ "status": "ok" }`
## Stream events
`/api/chat` emits one JSON object per newline. Every event has a `type` discriminator. The full union is `ChatStreamEvent` in [`chat-protocol.ts`](https://github.com/Qredence/fleet-pi/blob/main/apps/web/src/lib/pi/chat-protocol.ts).
| `type` | Shape | Meaning |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `start` | `{ id, runId, sessionFile?, sessionId, sessionReset?, diagnostics? }` | Stream opened. Use `runId` to correlate with provenance. |
| `delta` | `{ text, messageId? }` | Streaming assistant text chunk. |
| `thinking` | `{ text, messageId? }` | Streaming chain-of-thought when `thinkingLevel` is enabled. |
| `tool` | `{ part, messageId? }` | Tool call or tool result rendered in the transcript. |
| `plan` | `{ mode, executing, completed, total, message?, state }` | Plan-mode progress with structured `state`. |
| `state` | `{ state }` | Generic chat state update. |
| `queue` | `{ steering: string[], followUp: string[] }` | Steering / follow-up prompts queued during streaming. |
| `compaction` | `{ phase: "start" \| "end", reason, aborted?, willRetry?, errorMessage? }` | Session compaction lifecycle. |
| `retry` | `{ phase, attempt, maxAttempts?, delayMs?, success?, finalError?, errorMessage? }` | Retry attempt fired around a Bedrock invocation. |
| `done` | `{ runId, message, sessionFile?, sessionId, sessionReset? }` | Assistant turn finished cleanly. |
| `error` | `{ message, runId? }` | Terminal stream error. |
Plan events carry a `ChatPlanState` shape:
```ts theme={null}
type ChatPlanState = {
mode: "agent" | "plan" | "harness"
executing: boolean
pendingDecision: boolean

## Layers
### Browser client
React 19 with TanStack Router. `AgentChat` composes `InputBar`, `MessageList`, and the right-hand resources and workspace panels. Streaming chat, structured plan cards, and tool cards are rendered with the shared `agent-elements` integration from `packages/hax-design` (`@workspace/hax-design`), the single source of truth for Fleet Pi chat surfaces, the OpenUI kit, and shared Pi protocol types.
State management:
* `usePiChat` orchestrates the NDJSON stream lifecycle, tool rendering, and queued steering / follow-up prompts.
* `useChatStorage` keeps minimal session metadata (`sessionFile`, `sessionId`) in `localStorage` so a refresh can hydrate the matching Pi session file.
### `apps/web` β TanStack Start
The Vite dev server hosts file-based API routes under `apps/web/src/routes/api/`:
| Route | Method | Purpose |
| ------------------------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/api/health` | GET | Smoke endpoint used by the quickstart. |
| `/api/chat` | POST | Pi-backed chat with NDJSON streaming, PII sanitization, Pino logging. |
| `/api/chat/abort` | POST | Abort the active chat session. |
| `/api/chat/models` | GET | Model catalog with default provider and thinking level. |
| `/api/chat/providers` | GET/POST | Provider credential state and updates through the in-app config panel. |
| `/api/chat/new` | POST | Create a new chat session. |
| `/api/chat/provenance` | GET | Per-run provenance records. |
| `/api/chat/question` | POST | Answer a `questionnaire` follow-up question. |
| `/api/chat/resources` | GET | Skills, prompts, extensions, themes, packages, AGENTS.md files. |
| `/api/chat/resume` | POST | Resume an existing session file. |
| `/api/chat/run` | POST | Run a single recorded run. |
| `/api/chat/runs` | GET | List recorded runs for a session. |
| `/api/chat/session` | GET | Hydrate a session by query params. |
| `/api/chat/sessions` | GET | List all chat sessions. |
| `/api/chat/settings` | GET/POST | Read and patch effective `ChatPiSettings`. |
| `/api/workspace/file` | GET | Read a canonical workspace file. |
| `/api/workspace/health` | GET | Workspace contract health. |
| `/api/workspace/item` | GET | Fetch a single workspace item. |
| `/api/workspace/items` | GET | List workspace items. |
| `/api/workspace/reindex` | GET/POST | Fetch a CSRF token, then trigger a workspace reindex projection (rate-limited on protected deployments). |
| `/api/workspace/search` | GET | Search workspace items via the projection index. |
| `/api/workspace/tree` | GET | Browse the workspace tree. |
| `/api/sandbox/preview` | GET | Signed preview URL into the calling user's Daytona sandbox (auth required). |
| `/api/webhooks/daytona` | POST | Daytona lifecycle webhook, gated by `DAYTONA_WEBHOOK_SECRET`. |
| `/api/auth/$` | ALL | Mounted only when `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` is set. |
Internal modules:
* `lib/pi/server.ts` β Pi runtime cache, `createPiRuntime`, `queuePromptOnActiveSession`, NDJSON encoding.
* `lib/pi/server-chat-stream.ts` β assistant turn lifecycle (`beginAssistantTurn`, `handleSessionEvent`, `finalizeAssistantTurn`).
* `lib/pi/plan-mode.ts` β mode allowlists and the plan-mode Pi extension.
* `lib/pi/circuit-breaker.ts` β `opossum` configuration around Bedrock invocations.
* `lib/pi/run-provenance.ts` β provenance recording around session and tool events.
* `lib/workspace/server.ts` and `workspace-contract.ts` β durable workspace contract, manifest, and section kinds.
* `lib/pii/sanitizer.ts` β input redaction before logging.
* `lib/logger.ts` β Pino logger with redaction and `requestId` correlation.
### `agent-workspace/`
The durable adaptive layer. The workspace server reads memory, plans, skills, and artifacts directly from files so every change shows up in Git diffs. The contract is versioned (`WORKSPACE_CONTRACT_VERSION = 1`) and the canonical section set is fixed in `workspace-contract.ts`:
`instructions/`, `system/`, `memory/`, `plans/`, `skills/`, `evals/`, `artifacts/`, `scratch/`, `pi/`, `indexes/`.
Sections have **kinds** β `canonical`, `temporary`, or `projection` β that the workspace server enforces.
### `.pi/`
Committed project Pi configuration. `settings.json` is a compatibility bridge that points Pi at workspace-native resource directories. Built-in Pi extensions and committed skills also live here.
### External
Fleet Pi calls whichever model provider is configured β Google Gemini by default (`gemini-3.5-flash`), or any other supported provider (Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Groq, Vertex, Ollama). Provider selection lives in `.pi/settings.json`; credentials live in `.env`.
**Amazon Bedrock specifically** is wrapped by a process-wide `opossum` circuit breaker (`bedrock-api`). When you switch Fleet Pi to Bedrock, every Bedrock invocation passes through these settings:
| Option | Value | Meaning |
| -------------------------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `errorThresholdPercentage` | 50% | Open after half of sampled calls fail. |
| `volumeThreshold` | 5 | Minimum 5 calls before breaker can open. |
| `resetTimeout` | 30,000 ms | Wait 30 s before trying half-open. |
| `timeout` | 30,000 ms | Each call must complete within 30 s. |
When the Bedrock breaker is open, requests fail fast with `"Bedrock API is temporarily unavailable due to repeated failures. Please try again later."`. Other providers fail through Pi's standard error path (no breaker), so reliability tuning for non-Bedrock providers happens upstream in `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent`.
**Daytona** is an optional external service for authenticated user sandboxes β enabled by setting `DAYTONA_API_KEY`. See the [API reference](/fleet-pi/api-reference#sandbox) for the sandbox surface.
## Packages
| Package | Purpose |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `apps/web` | TanStack Start app and `/api/*` backend. |
| `packages/hax-design` | Shared React UI (`@workspace/hax-design`) β Fleet Pi chat and workspace surfaces, the OpenUI kit, and the `agent-elements` integration. |
Key dependencies: `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent`, `@earendil-works/pi-ai`, `@tanstack/react-start`, `opossum`, `pino` + `pino-pretty`, `zod` + `@asteasolutions/zod-to-openapi`, `vitest`, `@playwright/test`, `husky` + `lint-staged`.
`apps/web/src/routeTree.gen.ts` is generated. Do not edit by hand.
## Request lifecycle
1. The browser sends a chat message to `/api/chat` as JSON.
2. `ChatRequestSchema` (zod) validates the body.
3. `sanitizePii` redacts the message before logging.
4. `createRequestLogger` attaches a correlation `requestId`.
5. `createPiRuntime` returns a warm Pi runtime (TTL controlled by `FLEET_PI_RUNTIME_TTL_MS`) or builds one.
6. The Pi runtime invokes the configured model provider. Bedrock calls go through the `opossum` circuit breaker; other providers go through Pi's standard provider path.
7. Events are forwarded as NDJSON via `encodeEvent`: `start`, `delta`, `thinking`, `tool`, `plan`, `state`, `queue`, `compaction`, `retry`, `done`, `error`.
8. `createRunProvenanceRecorder` records the session lifecycle and tool events.
9. On client refresh, `POST /api/chat/resume` or `GET /api/chat/session` hydrates the Pi session file.

# Chat modes
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-pi/chat-modes
How Fleet Pi's Agent, Plan, and Harness chat modes change the tool allowlist passed to the Pi runtime, including read-only Plan mode and per-mode tool tables.
Fleet Pi exposes the same chat surface in three distinct modes. The mode is sent on every `/api/chat` request as `mode: "agent" | "plan" | "harness"` and decides which tool allowlist the Pi runtime receives.
The full list of available tools and per-mode allowlists lives in [`apps/web/src/lib/pi/plan-mode.ts`](https://github.com/Qredence/fleet-pi/blob/main/apps/web/src/lib/pi/plan-mode.ts).
## Agent mode
Agent mode is the default and the broadest. It enables full repo-scoped editing and the Pi-managed extension tools.
**Allowed tools**
| Tool | Purpose |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `read` | Read a file from the repo |
| `write` | Create or overwrite a file |
| `edit` | String-replace inside a file |
| `bash` | Execute shell commands inside the project root |
| `workspace_write` | Durable `agent-workspace/` updates with rationale fields |
| `resource_install` | Install Pi skills, prompts, extensions, themes, packages |
| `questionnaire` | Ask the user a structured follow-up question |
| `web_fetch` | Fetch a public HTTPS URL (private/internal addresses blocked) |
| `project_inventory`, `workspace_index` | Project-resource introspection |
| `autocontext_*` | Pi autocontext judge, improve, queue, snapshot tools |
| `init_experiment`, `run_experiment`, `log_experiment` | Pi autoresearch tools |
| `subagent` | Delegate work to a subagent |
## Plan mode
Plan mode is **read-only**. The agent inspects the repo, asks focused follow-up questions, and produces numbered execution plans. Structured plan cards keep `execute`, `stay`, and `refine` actions visible after page refresh or session resume β backed by persisted custom session entries so legacy text parsing remains a fallback.
**Allowed tools**
`read`, `bash` (inspection only β mutating shell activity is blocked with an explicit reason), `grep`, `find`, `ls`, `questionnaire`, `project_inventory`, `workspace_index`, and the read-only `autocontext_status` family.
**Behavior contract**
* Tool allowlist is inspection-only.
* Blocked shell commands return an explicit reason instead of silently mutating the repo.
* Plan state is emitted on the stream as `plan` events that include `{ executing, completed, total, todos, message, state }`.
* Plan cards survive refresh because Plan mode persists structured entries to the Pi session file.
See `evaluatePlanCommand` and `applyPlanModeSelection` in [`apps/web/src/lib/pi/plan-mode.ts`](https://github.com/Qredence/fleet-pi/blob/main/apps/web/src/lib/pi/plan-mode.ts) for the exact enforcement logic.
## Harness mode
Harness mode is for **workspace-architecture work**. It swaps general repo-mutation tools (`write`, `edit`) for the workspace-aware `workspace_write` and `resource_install` tools so durable changes always go through the [adaptive workspace contract](/fleet-pi/adaptive-workspace).
**Allowed tools**
`read`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`, `workspace_write`, `resource_install`, `questionnaire`, `web_fetch`, plus the project-resource and autocontext-status families.
**When to use it**
* Adding or changing canonical files under `agent-workspace/memory/`, `plans/`, `skills/`, `evals/`, or `artifacts/`.
* Installing Pi skills, prompts, extensions, themes, or packages.
* Authoring workspace policies or evaluation material that must include rationale.
`workspace_write` requires a rationale for protected or rationale-required areas. `resource_install` is the only supported way to add chat-installed Pi resources under `agent-workspace/.pi/*`.
## Slash commands
Type `/` in the chat input to open a scrollable, keyboard-navigable command menu. The menu is populated from [`GET /api/chat/commands`](/fleet-pi/api-reference#get-apichatcommands), which returns the builtins below plus any active skills and prompts when skill slash commands are enabled.
**Keyboard shortcuts**
| Key | Action |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| `β` / `β` | Move highlight through the suggestion list |
| `Enter` | Insert the highlighted command |
| `Escape` | Close the menu without inserting |
Selecting a command only **inserts** it into the input β you still submit the message to run it. This is discovery-only in the current release; no package, OAuth, or compact execution backends are wired up yet.
**Built-in commands**
| Command | Purpose |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `/model` | Select provider, model, or thinking level |
| `/models` | Open model allowlist settings |
| `/scoped-models` | Open model allowlist settings |
| `/settings` | Open Pi settings |
| `/new` | Start a new chat session |
| `/session` | Show current session metadata |
| `/config` | Open package configuration |
**Skill and prompt commands**
Active skills and prompts appear as slash commands (for example, `/refactor-tech-debt` from a prompt of that name) when `enableSkillCommands` is `true` in Pi settings. Names are normalized by replacing whitespace with `-`; entries that collide with a builtin are skipped. Disable the toggle in the Pi settings dialog or via `POST /api/chat/settings` to hide skill and prompt commands from the menu.
## Streaming behavior
Two streaming behaviors decide how prompts queued mid-stream are handled:
* `streamingBehavior: "steer"` β enqueue the message as a steering prompt for the active assistant turn.
* `streamingBehavior: "followUp"` β enqueue the message to run after the current turn finishes.
Steering and follow-up queues are surfaced on the stream as `queue` events.

# Codex worktree setup for Fleet Pi
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-pi/codex
Bootstrap Codex worktree threads against Fleet Pi using the shared .codex local environment, the workspace-bootstrap.zsh script, and advanced multi-agent flow.
This is the advanced path. For the recommended public setup, start with the [quickstart](/fleet-pi/quickstart).
Fleet Pi ships a shared Codex local environment so new Codex worktree threads can bootstrap the repo consistently.
## Shared environment
* Environment definition: `.codex/environments/environment.toml`
* Setup entrypoint: `.codex/workspace-bootstrap.zsh`
Open the Fleet Pi repo in the Codex app and choose the shared local environment when starting a worktree-backed thread.
## Setup behavior
The current setup script is intentionally bootstrap-only:
```zsh theme={null}
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
```
This matches the repo's normal dependency flow and keeps worktree creation predictable.
Setup stays separate from canonical workspace state: `agent-workspace/` remains the durable adaptive layer, while Codex setup only bootstraps the local worktree so later commands can operate on the repo safely.
## Expectations
* `node` and `pnpm` must already be available on the machine.
* The script should stay focused on dependency and bootstrap work.
* Do not put long-running processes in the setup script.
* Do not rely on `export` statements in the setup script for later Codex turns β setup runs in a separate shell session.
## Suggested Codex actions
After the worktree is ready, add separate Codex actions for the common repo workflows so each action can be invoked independently from a Codex thread:
```zsh theme={null}
pnpm dev
pnpm typecheck
pnpm lint
pnpm --filter web test
pnpm e2e
```

# Fleet Pi configuration reference
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-pi/configuration
Reference for every Fleet Pi environment variable β LLM provider keys, Pi runtime, logging, auth, and the Neon Postgres chat session mirror.
Fleet Pi loads configuration from `.env` at the repo root, then `.env.local` (`.env.local` takes precedence). The dev server is responsible for loading these files into the server-side routes; values are accessed through `process.env` at runtime. Credentials saved from the in-app Configurations panel are written to `.env.local`.
The canonical example lives in [`.env.example`](https://github.com/Qredence/fleet-pi/blob/main/.env.example). This page is the authoritative reference for every variable Fleet Pi reads, grouped by concern.
## LLM providers
Fleet Pi picks the default model by surface:
* **Local dev and anonymous chat** default to Google Gemini (`gemini-3.5-flash`). Set `GEMINI_API_KEY` to use it, or pick another provider from the in-app config panel.
* **Deployed authenticated chat** defaults to the [Neon AI Gateway](#neon-ai-gateway-default-authenticated-chat) with `qwen35-122b-a10b` as the primary model and `gpt-oss-120b` also enabled. A user's OpenAI-Chat-Completions (OCC) BYOK setting always takes precedence when configured.
Pi settings store the active provider and model, and you can change both from the in-app config panel. The same panel manages provider API keys and writes them to `.env.local`.
| Provider | Provider ID | API key variable |
| -------------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Google Gemini | `google-genai` | `GEMINI_API_KEY` |
| Amazon Bedrock | `amazon-bedrock` | `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` (+ AWS chain) |
| OpenAI | `openai` | `OPENAI_API_KEY` |
| Anthropic | `anthropic` | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` |
| Google Vertex | `google-vertex` | `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` |
| Mistral | `mistral` | `MISTRAL_API_KEY` |
| Groq | `groq` | `GROQ_API_KEY` |
| Ollama | `ollama` | `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` |
### Amazon Bedrock
When using Bedrock, Fleet Pi uses the standard AWS credential chain β environment variables, profile, or IAM role.
Fleet Pi defaults to **Google Gemini** (`gemini-3.5-flash`). The default provider and model are set in `.pi/settings.json`:
```json theme={null}
{
"defaultProvider": "google",
"defaultModel": "gemini-3.5-flash"
}
```
Change those fields to switch the default provider; set the matching API key in `.env` (or via the in-app config panel). Every provider supported by Pi is available β pick whichever credentials you already have.
| Provider | `defaultProvider` value | Credential variable |
| ---------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Google Gemini | `google` | `GEMINI_API_KEY` |
| Google Vertex AI | `google-vertex` | `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` (path to a service account) |
| OpenAI | `openai` | `OPENAI_API_KEY` |
| Anthropic | `anthropic` | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` |
| Amazon Bedrock | `amazon-bedrock` | Standard AWS credential chain (`AWS_PROFILE`, env vars, IAM role) |
| Mistral | `mistral` | `MISTRAL_API_KEY` |
| Groq | `groq` | `GROQ_API_KEY` |
| Ollama | `ollama` | `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` |
### Amazon Bedrock (opt-in)
When `defaultProvider` is `amazon-bedrock`, Fleet Pi uses the standard AWS credential chain:
| Variable | Required | Default | Purpose |
| -------------------------- | -------- | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `AWS_REGION` | No | `us-east-1` | Region for every Bedrock call. Models must be enabled in this region. |
| `AWS_PROFILE` | No | β | Use a named AWS profile from `~/.aws/credentials`. |
| `AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK` | No | β | Set only if your Bedrock setup uses bearer-token authentication. |
You can also provide `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` directly. Bedrock model IDs use region prefixes such as `us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6`.
## Pi runtime
| Variable | Required | Default | Purpose |
| ------------------------- | -------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `PI_AGENT_DIR` | No | Pi default | Override the Pi agent resource directory. Read in `server-runtime.ts` and `server-shared.ts`. |
| `FLEET_PI_RUNTIME_TTL_MS` | No | `600000` | How long a Pi runtime stays warm between chat turns (10 minutes by default). |
| `FLEET_PI_REPO_ROOT` | No | `cwd` | Override the project root that the workspace server treats as canonical. |
## Logging
| Variable | Required | Default | Purpose |
| ----------- | -------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | No | `info` | Pino log level. Logs are pretty-printed unless `NODE_ENV=production`. |
| `NODE_ENV` | No | β | Controls pretty-printing and a few Vite behaviors. |
The logger lives in [`apps/web/src/lib/logger.ts`](https://github.com/Qredence/fleet-pi/blob/main/apps/web/src/lib/logger.ts). It includes PII redaction and emits a `requestId` correlation ID for every chat request, which lines up with provider circuit-breaker events for incident review.
## Authentication (Better Auth)
Auth is **disabled** until you set `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET`. When the secret is present, Better Auth is mounted at `/api/auth/*`. The auth store can be local SQLite (default) or Neon Postgres.
| Variable | Required when auth enabled | Default | Purpose |
| -------------------------------------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` | Yes | β | Signing secret. Generate with `openssl rand -base64 32`. |
| `BETTER_AUTH_URL` | No | `http://localhost:3000` | Base URL used for OAuth callback URLs. |
| `BETTER_AUTH_TRUSTED_ORIGINS` | No | `BETTER_AUTH_URL` | Comma-separated list of trusted origins for the auth router. |
| `AUTH_DATABASE_PATH` | No | `.fleet/auth.sqlite` | SQLite database path used when Neon auth is not configured. |
| `FLEET_PI_AUTH_DATABASE_URL` | No | β | Neon Postgres connection string (app role β DML only) for the auth DB. |
| `FLEET_PI_AUTH_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL` | For migrations | β | Direct `neondb_owner` connection used by `pnpm --filter web auth:migrate`. |
| `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID` | No | β | Enables Google OAuth when paired with `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET`. |
| `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET` | No | β | Required with `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID`. |
The Google login button is hidden in the UI when either Google variable is missing. When `FLEET_PI_AUTH_DATABASE_URL` is set, Better Auth uses Neon instead of local SQLite β apply schema once per environment with `pnpm --filter web auth:migrate`.
## Neon Managed Auth (optional)
Fleet Pi runs Better Auth by default. Set `NEON_AUTH_BASE_URL` (or the `NEON_AUTH_URL` value that the VercelβNeon integration injects) to proxy sign-in, session, and account routes to [Neon Managed Auth](https://neon.tech) instead. Leaving both URLs unset keeps the Better Auth + SQLite fallback, so local anonymous chat still works. Use Managed Auth when you want Neon to own user identity across the app and the dual-host chat runtime.
| Variable | Required when Managed Auth is on | Default | Purpose |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `NEON_AUTH_BASE_URL` | Yes (server-side) | β | Server-side base URL of your Neon Managed Auth endpoint. Falls back to `NEON_AUTH_URL` from the VercelβNeon integration. |
| `VITE_NEON_AUTH_URL` | Yes (browser) | β | Browser-visible Neon Managed Auth URL. Required so the client can obtain and refresh JWTs. |
| `NEON_AUTH_JWKS_URL` | Yes | derived | JWKS endpoint used to verify bearer JWTs on the server. Defaults to `${NEON_AUTH_BASE_URL}/.well-known/jwks.json`. |
| `NEON_AUTH_ISSUER` | Yes | β | Expected `iss` claim on bearer JWTs. Required whenever Neon Managed Auth is configured (and whenever `VITE_FLEET_PI_CHAT_RUNTIME_URL` is set) so JWT verification fails closed. |
| `NEON_AUTH_COOKIE_SECRET` | No | `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` | Cookie signing secret (β₯32 chars). Falls back to `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` when unset. |
| `NEON_DATA_API_URL` | No | β | Optional Neon Data API base URL. Not required for the chat runtime or Pi mirror. |
Neon Managed Auth currently allows open sign-up. Until Neon ships restricted signups, treat any production deployment as an **invite-only closed beta** β share the URL only with intended testers, and keep the Neon Data API disabled in both `neon.ts` (`dataApi: false`) and the Neon console. Fleet Pi enforces tenant isolation through the private `fleet_pi_app` role plus FORCE RLS on `pi_*` tables; granting Data API access to `authenticated` or `anonymous` roles bypasses that. `pnpm verify-deployment-readiness` fails when those grants are still present.
## Neon AI Gateway (default authenticated chat)
On deployed environments, authenticated chat routes through the **Neon AI Gateway** as the platform OpenAI-Chat-Completions (OCC) backend. This gives every signed-in user a working model out of the box β no BYOK required β while a user who has saved their own OCC provider settings still takes precedence.
Fleet Pi enables two Gateway models by default:
* `qwen35-122b-a10b` β primary
* `gpt-oss-120b`
Use the Gateway when you want authenticated users to have working chat immediately after login without asking each user to bring an API key. Anonymous and local dev surfaces still fall back to Google Gemini (`gemini-3.5-flash`) β the Gateway only activates when the user is signed in and the two env vars below are set.
| Variable | Required for Gateway | Default | Purpose |
| -------------------------- | -------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `NEON_AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL` | Yes | β | Neon AI Gateway host injected by `neon deploy` when `preview.aiGateway` is enabled in `neon.ts`. Must be under `*.neon.tech`. |
| `NEON_AI_GATEWAY_TOKEN` | Yes | β | Neon-issued gateway token (`nt_live_β¦`) used as the OCC bearer credential. Scoped to the deployment branch. |
Both values are captured into process memory once at boot and then deleted from `process.env` so agent shell tools cannot read them with `printenv`. This means you should not rely on `NEON_AI_GATEWAY_*` being visible to your own code past startup.
### URL shape
Fleet Pi enforces a single `/v1` suffix on the Gateway base URL. All of these normalize to the same value:
```bash theme={null}
NEON_AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL=https://-api.ai..aws.neon.tech
NEON_AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL=https://-api.ai..aws.neon.tech/v1
NEON_AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL=https://-api.ai..aws.neon.tech/v1/v1
```
The host must resolve to `*.neon.tech`. Any other host is rejected at boot and the Gateway is skipped rather than serving requests to an untrusted origin.
### BYOK precedence
When a user saves an OpenAI-Chat-Completions provider in the config panel, their BYOK settings win over the platform Gateway. Legacy OCC records are only migrated to the platform Gateway shape when the Gateway is active and the user has not brought their own OCC credentials.
### Named OpenAI-compatible instances
Each user can save **multiple** OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoints side by side β for example one instance for OpenCode Zen and another for Nebius β instead of overwriting a single BYOK slot. Every named instance keeps its own display name, base URL, model ID, and API key, and each one appears in the model picker as a separate provider row. Named instances work on both deployed chat (signed-in users) and local anonymous chat.
Use named instances when you want to:
* Route different chats through different OpenAI-compatible backends without editing settings between turns.
* Keep a per-vendor label in the config panel so it's obvious which endpoint you're about to use.
* Add a new OpenAI-compatible provider without disturbing your existing default OCC configuration.
Add an instance from the in-app config panel under **OpenAI Chat Completions β Add instance**. Fleet Pi requires four fields per instance:
| Field | Notes |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Display name | User-facing label (e.g. `Nebius`). Fleet Pi normalizes it into a stable slug used internally as `openai-chat-completions+`. |
| Base URL | HTTPS root of the OpenAI-compatible API (e.g. `https://api.studio.nebius.com/v1`). Fleet Pi strips any trailing `/chat/completions` before saving. |
| Model ID | Model name to register when the endpoint doesn't list one via `/models` (e.g. `meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct`). |
| API key | Encrypted at rest under `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` when stored in Postgres (deployed chat); stored in plaintext in `.fleet/providers.json` for local anonymous chat. Only key metadata is returned to the browser. |
Fleet Pi picks the storage backend for named instances based on the surface:
| Surface | Storage | Encryption |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Deployed chat (signed-in user + `FLEET_PI_CHAT_DATABASE_URL`) | Neon Postgres `pi_user_providers` table | Encrypted at rest under `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` |
| Local anonymous / non-DB chat | Gitignored file store at `/.fleet/providers.json` | Plaintext |
The file store is written atomically (temp file + rename) with a per-process mutation lock, so concurrent creates get distinct slugs. A malformed or future-version store falls back to an empty list with a diagnostic instead of breaking chat session creation. The `.fleet/` directory is gitignored, but treat `.fleet/providers.json` as sensitive β it contains plaintext API keys.
Named instances must use an `https://` base URL by default. On local dev surfaces, OCC-family instances can also point at `http://localhost` (useful for pointing at an Ollama or LM Studio process). Deployed chat still requires `https://` at both save time and runtime registration, so a legacy `http://` value can never sneak through.
The default OCC slot (`openai-chat-completions`) still exists alongside named instances and continues to take precedence over the platform Neon AI Gateway. Named instances give you additional endpoints without replacing that default.
Fleet Pi also validates each instance every time the runtime registers it. If the stored API key can't be decrypted or the base URL fails the safety checks, the instance is **skipped** with a warning diagnostic and shows up in the Settings providers list as **Not configured** instead of a misleading healthy row β so the model picker never advertises an endpoint that would fail at request time.
### Readiness gate
`pnpm verify-deployment-readiness` validates that `NEON_AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL` is a well-formed allowed Gateway URL β not just present. Deploys fail closed when the URL is malformed or points off the `*.neon.tech` allowlist, so a broken Gateway variable cannot silently ship.
## Dual-host chat runtime (optional)
Fleet Pi normally serves the chat streaming API from the same Vercel app that hosts settings, providers, and the workspace. Setting `VITE_FLEET_PI_CHAT_RUNTIME_URL` splits chat onto a separate host (typically a Neon Function) while settings, providers, and workspace stay on Vercel. The browser attaches a Neon Managed Auth bearer JWT to every chat request, and the runtime verifies it against `NEON_AUTH_JWKS_URL` and `NEON_AUTH_ISSUER`. Use this when you want chat to scale independently or when your Neon Function should own session object storage.
| Variable | Required when dual-host is on | Default | Purpose |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `VITE_FLEET_PI_CHAT_RUNTIME_URL` | Yes | β | Base URL of the Neon Function that hosts the chat runtime. When unset, chat runs on the same Vercel app as everything else. |
| `FLEET_PI_CHAT_RUNTIME_CORS_ORIGINS` | Yes | β | Comma-separated allowlist of browser origins permitted to call the chat runtime. Required for CORS preflight to succeed. |
| `FLEET_PI_CHAT_RUNTIME_REQUIRE_AUTH` | No | β | Set to `1` to force bearer-JWT auth on the chat runtime even without Vercel or Managed Auth environment markers. |
Example Vercel environment for a dual-host deployment:
```bash theme={null}
# Neon Managed Auth
NEON_AUTH_BASE_URL=https:///neondb/auth
VITE_NEON_AUTH_URL=https:///neondb/auth
NEON_AUTH_ISSUER=https:///neondb/auth
# Chat runtime on a Neon Function
VITE_FLEET_PI_CHAT_RUNTIME_URL=https://
FLEET_PI_CHAT_RUNTIME_CORS_ORIGINS=https://fleet-pi-web.vercel.app,http://localhost:3000
```
## Sessions and workspace paths
Pi session files are persisted under `.fleet/sessions/` inside the repo. The session manager rejects paths outside the repo-scoped directory via `isUsableSessionFile`, so a stale `sessionFile` in `localStorage` silently falls back to a fresh session β see [runbooks](/fleet-pi/runbooks#ir-2-chat-session-corruption-or-data-loss) for recovery.
Canonical durable state lives under `agent-workspace/`. The workspace server reads canonical files directly and uses `agent-workspace/indexes/` only as projection storage.
## Chat session mirror (Neon Postgres)
Pi session JSONL files under `.fleet/sessions/` are always the source of truth. When `FLEET_PI_CHAT_DATABASE_URL` is set, Fleet Pi additionally mirrors full Pi session entries, run events, tool executions, and file mutations into Neon Postgres tables prefixed with `pi_`. Use this when you want SQL search across conversations, cross-surface history, analytics, or long-term debugging.
Mirror failures are caught and logged β they never break chat streaming.
| Variable | Required | Default | Purpose |
| -------------------------------------- | -------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `FLEET_PI_CHAT_DATABASE_URL` | No | β | Enables the mirror. Pooled Neon connection string for the runtime app role (DML only). |
| `FLEET_PI_CHAT_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL` | For migrations | β | Direct `neondb_owner` connection string used by `pnpm chat:migrate` to apply schema migrations. |
Use two separate roles in Neon:
| Role | Privileges | Used by |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| `neondb_owner` | Full DDL + DML (CREATE, ALTER, DROP, etc.) | Migration CLI only |
| `fleet_pi_app` | SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE on `pi_*` tables | Running application |
Apply migrations once per environment before starting the app:
```bash theme={null}
pnpm --filter web chat:migrate
```
See [runbooks](/fleet-pi/runbooks#chat-session-mirror-neon-postgres) for the full table list and operational guidance.
## Daytona-backed user sandboxes
Authenticated users can be assigned an isolated Daytona sandbox that runs Pi tool calls in a container instead of on the host. Each user gets one sandbox in **their** Daytona account via BYOK (bring your own key), keyed by their Better Auth `userId`. Sandbox routes require Better Auth β unauthenticated requests return `401`.
### How Daytona is enabled per user
Fleet Pi enables Daytona for a user only when:
1. The user is authenticated through Better Auth.
2. A Daytona API key is resolved for that user.
Fleet Pi resolves the Daytona API key from the user's stored provider secrets first (Settings β Providers β **Daytona**). If none is found, it falls back to the `DAYTONA_API_KEY` environment variable **only in local development**. On Vercel, env `DAYTONA_API_KEY` alone does not enable Daytona β each logged-in user must save their own Daytona API key as the `daytona` provider secret.
When Daytona is not enabled for the calling user, `GET /api/sandbox/preview` returns `503` and tool calls run against the host workspace (unless the request is expected to have a sandbox, in which case the request fails closed).
### Environment variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Purpose |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `DAYTONA_API_KEY` | Local/dev fallback only | β | Fallback Daytona API key for local development. On Vercel this is ignored as a sole key source β users must BYOK the `daytona` provider secret. |
| `DAYTONA_API_URL` | No | Daytona SDK default | Override the Daytona API base URL (for example, self-hosted Daytona). |
| `DAYTONA_TARGET` | No | β | Optional Daytona target region or runner identifier (for example, `us` or `eu`). |
| `DAYTONA_WEBHOOK_SECRET` | No | β | Shared secret expected in the `x-daytona-signature` header for `POST /api/webhooks/daytona`. Without it, webhook side effects are ignored. |
| `FLEET_PI_REPOSITORY_URL` | No | `https://github.com/Qredence/fleet-pi.git` | HTTPS repository URL used to sparse-seed `agent-workspace/` into an empty Daytona volume on first launch. |
### Persistence and mount paths
Each user's sandbox has one persistent volume that survives sandbox restarts and archival:
| Resource | Naming convention | Mount path | Lifecycle |
| ---------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Sandbox | `fleet-pi-user-{userId}` | β | Auto-stops after 30 minutes idle; resumed on demand. |
| Workspace volume | `fleet-pi-ws-{userId}` | `/home/daytona/agent-workspace` | Persists across sandbox restarts and deletions. |
There is **no** full-repo clone in the sandbox and **no** sandbox-side Pi session store β Pi sessions stay on the host (or Neon mirror). The sandbox mounts only `agent-workspace/`. On first launch (empty volume), Fleet Pi sparse-seeds the volume from `FLEET_PI_REPOSITORY_URL` using a non-clobber copy. Do not delete the workspace volume unless you intend to reset that user's workspace.
### Legacy sandbox migration
Sandboxes provisioned before this release mounted the workspace at `/home/daytona/fleet-pi`. Fleet Pi now expects `/home/daytona/agent-workspace`. On the next warm-up, legacy sandboxes are **recreated automatically** β the durable `fleet-pi-ws-*` volume is preserved and remounted at the new path. No action is required.
### Provider credentials in the sandbox
When Daytona is active, Fleet Pi tries to sync each configured LLM provider key into the user's Daytona organization as a Secret named `fleet_pi_`. The sandbox then sees only opaque placeholders (`dtn_secret_*`); Daytona substitutes the real value on egress to the provider's allowlisted HTTPS host.
Providers eligible for Secrets sync (known HTTPS API hosts):
| Provider | Provider ID | Egress host |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Google Gemini | `google` | `generativelanguage.googleapis.com` |
| OpenAI | `openai` | `api.openai.com` |
| Anthropic | `anthropic` | `api.anthropic.com` |
| Mistral | `mistral` | `api.mistral.ai` |
| Groq | `groq` | `api.groq.com` |
| OpenRouter / AI Gateway | `openrouter` / `ai-gateway` | provider public host |
| OpenAI Chat Completions | any HTTPS `baseURL` | derived from the base URL |
The following credentials are still injected as plaintext inside the sandbox (they cannot use Secrets-based egress substitution): GitHub Copilot OAuth tokens, Google Vertex ADC (`GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`), Bedrock signing keys, `OLLAMA_BASE_URL`, and OCC base URL / model ID.
Daytona sandbox credential sync covers only the reserved default OpenAI Chat Completions slot (`openai-chat-completions`). Additional [named OpenAI-compatible instances](#named-openai-compatible-instances) live in the chat runtime's encrypted store and are never injected into the sandbox β sandbox tool calls that need one of those endpoints must go through the chat runtime, not directly from the container.
When a Secrets-backed credential changes for an active sandbox, Fleet Pi recreates the sandbox (volume preserved) so the new Secret placeholder is mounted at create time. If the Daytona Secrets API is not available for the user's org (for example, `Access denied` on the Secrets endpoint), Fleet Pi falls back to plaintext injection instead of failing sandbox provisioning.
See the [API reference](/fleet-pi/api-reference#sandbox) for the sandbox preview and webhook contracts.
## Vercel deployment (trust zones)
Fleet Pi hardens Vercel/Neon deployments with three trust zones β `local`, `vercel-production`, and `vercel-preview` β enforced at boot. Vercel builds call `assertDeploymentReadyOnBoot()` before Better Auth mounts, so missing secrets or misconfigured Preview environments fail fast instead of accepting cross-zone traffic. Local development is unaffected and stays anonymous.
Set these variables in the Vercel project (in addition to the [auth](/fleet-pi/configuration#authentication-better-auth) and [chat mirror](/fleet-pi/configuration#chat-session-mirror-neon-postgres) variables above):
| Variable | Required | Purpose |
| ------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `BETTER_AUTH_URL` | Yes (Production) | Explicit production origin used for OAuth callback URLs. |
| `BETTER_AUTH_TRUSTED_ORIGINS` | Yes (Preview) | Comma-separated allowlist. No `*.vercel.app` wildcard β list each preview alias explicitly. |
| `FLEET_PI_DEPLOYMENT_TRUST_ZONE` | Yes (Preview) | Set to `preview` on Preview deployments. Production leaves this unset. |
| `FLEET_PI_PRODUCTION_DATABASE_MARKER` | Yes (Preview) | Substring that identifies the production Neon branch. Preview URLs must not contain it. |
| `FLEET_PI_PREVIEW_DATABASE_MARKER` | Yes (Preview) | Substring that must appear in both `FLEET_PI_AUTH_DATABASE_URL` and `FLEET_PI_CHAT_DATABASE_URL` on Preview. |
Preview deployments must point at a Neon branch that is distinct from production. The readiness check confirms the preview marker is present in both database URLs and the production marker is absent.
Verify readiness locally before promoting:
```bash theme={null}
pnpm --filter web verify-deployment-readiness
```
The CI `vercel-release-gate` job runs `build:vercel` plus this check against production-shaped and preview-shaped env. See [runbooks](/fleet-pi/runbooks#deployment-release-gate-vercel--neon) for the pre-promotion checklist and break-glass procedure.

# Generative UI with inline OpenUI Lang components
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-pi/generative-ui
Stream generative UI inline in Fleet Pi chat using OpenUI Lang β cards, badges, charts, tables, progress bars, and safe conversational buttons.
Fleet Pi can stream **generative UI** directly into chat messages. The agent emits a compact, line-oriented language called **OpenUI Lang** inside a fenced `openui` block, and Fleet Pi parses and renders it progressively as tokens arrive.
Use generative UI when a card, table, chart, metric, or action row communicates more clearly than prose β for example, dashboards, status summaries, comparisons, or "what would you like to do next?" prompts that route back into the conversation.
## When it applies
Generative UI is on by default in **Agent** and **Plan** modes. The system prompt for each mode includes the OpenUI component contract, so any Pi chat response can return inline UI without extra configuration.
| Mode | OpenUI available | Typical use |
| ------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Agent | Yes | Dashboards, status cards, metrics, tables, conversational actions |
| Plan | Yes (visual aids only) | Optional summary cards alongside the Markdown numbered plan |
| Harness | No | Workspace-architecture work stays in Markdown |
In Plan mode the numbered plan stays in Markdown β OpenUI is reserved for compact visual summaries and decision aids, and `Button` actions are disabled.
## How it works
OpenUI Lang is a declarative DSL designed for LLMs. Each line assigns to an identifier, and the first line must assign to `root`. The renderer parses lines as they stream and shows skeletons for any forward references until they arrive.
```
Component library β System prompt β LLM stream β Parser β Inline renderer
```
Fleet Pi defines a fixed component library (the contract between the app and the model). The agent can only emit components from that library, with positional arguments. Anything the agent generates outside the contract is rejected and surfaced as a render error inline.
## Available components
The Fleet Pi component library covers layout, content, status, data, and one safe interactive primitive.
| Category | Components |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Layout | `Root`, `Stack`, `Group`, `Grid`, `Divider` |
| Content | `Heading`, `Text`, `CodeBlock`, `List` |
| Status | `Badge`, `Callout`, `Metric`, `ProgressBar` |
| Data | `Card`, `KeyValue`, `Table`, `BarChart` |
| Input | `Input` (display-only), `Button` (conversational) |
`Button` is the only action primitive. Clicking a button sends its `message` (or its label) back into the chat as a new user turn β there are no destructive actions, URL opens, network requests, or tool calls. Buttons are disabled in Plan mode.
## Example
A status summary the agent might stream:
````markdown theme={null}
Here's where we are:
```openui
root = Root([summary])
summary = Card("OpenUI status", Stack([ok, next]))
ok = Badge("Renderer wired", "success")
next = Text("Next: validate streamed fenced blocks.", "muted")
```
````
A conversational action row that routes the user's choice back into chat:
````markdown theme={null}
```openui
root = Root([card])
card = Card("Continue?", Stack([body, actions]))
body = Text("I can explain the implementation or run validation next.")
actions = Group([explain, validate])
explain = Button("Explain implementation", "Tell me how this OpenUI integration works", "outline")
validate = Button("Run validation", "Run the OpenUI validation checks", "default")
```
````
When the user clicks **Run validation**, Fleet Pi sends `"Run the OpenUI validation checks"` as a normal chat message.
## Authoring rules the agent follows
Fleet Pi's system prompt enforces these constraints on every response:
* Wrap each program in a fenced ` ```openui ` block. The rest of the response stays in Markdown.
* Every program starts with `root = Root(...)`.
* Use only components from the library β invented names or named arguments are rejected.
* Arguments are positional. Write `Card("Title", child)`, not `Card(title: "Title", content: child)`.
* Keep blocks chat-sized; prefer Markdown for long prose, explanations, or raw code.
* In Plan mode, never emit `Button` components.
## Error handling
If the model emits invalid OpenUI Lang β unknown components, unresolved references, or schema violations β Fleet Pi renders an inline diagnostic panel under the message with the parser errors and the raw output, so you can see exactly what the model produced and why it failed. Streaming responses suppress unresolved-reference errors until the stream completes.

# Introduction to Fleet Pi
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-pi/introduction
Fleet Pi is a local-first browser workspace for Pi-powered coding agents with reviewable plans, memory, skills, and repo-scoped tools committed to Git.
Fleet Pi is a **local-first web workspace for Pi-powered coding agents**. It runs on your machine, uses your own model-provider credentials (Google Gemini by default, with optional Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others), and keeps agent memory, plans, skills, and artifacts as reviewable files inside `agent-workspace/` so every change shows up in normal Git diffs.
## Why Fleet Pi
Most coding-agent tools keep plans, memory, and session state locked away in the cloud or in ephemeral logs. Fleet Pi takes the opposite approach:
Memory, plans, skills, and artifacts live in `agent-workspace/` and show up in normal Git diffs.
Plan mode lets the agent inspect your repo, produce numbered execution plans, and keep plan cards resumable across refresh and resume β without touching files.
Runs entirely on your machine using your own model-provider credentials β Google Gemini by default, with Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others available. No hosted SaaS account required.
Project-local skills, prompts, and extensions load automatically from `.pi/` and `agent-workspace/.pi/`.
## Stack at a glance

| Model provider | Google Gemini (`gemini-3.5-flash`) by default; Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Groq, and Ollama also supported through Pi's provider registry |
| Reliability | [`opossum`](https://nodeshift.dev/opossum/) circuit breaker around every model call |
| Logging | `pino` + `pino-pretty` with PII redaction and request correlation IDs |

## Features
| Category | Capability |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Chat | Persistent Pi sessions, NDJSON streaming, session resume after refresh, queued steering / follow-up prompts |
| Tools | Repo-scoped `read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`, `web_fetch`, `workspace_write`, `resource_install` |
| Planning | Read-only Plan mode with structured execution plans, follow-up questionnaires, and resumable plan cards |
| Harness mode | Workspace-architecture mode that swaps general repo mutation tools for `workspace_write` + `resource_install` |
| Memory | `agent-workspace/` keeps memory, plans, evals, and artifacts in Git under a versioned contract |
| Resources | Browser for project-local Pi skills, prompts, extensions, themes, and packages |
| Provenance | Per-run provenance records around session lifecycle, tool execution, and canonical file mutations |
## Three chat modes
Fleet Pi exposes the same chat surface in three distinct modes that change which tools the agent is allowed to call:
Full repo-scoped editing. `read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, plus workspace and resource tools.
Read-only inspection. Inspect-only tools, questionnaire follow-ups, structured plan cards.
Workspace architecture work. `workspace_write` and `resource_install` replace general mutation tools.
## Two setup paths
Run Fleet Pi locally as a web app with Pi-backed chat. Needs a Google Gemini API key by default, or credentials for any other supported provider.
Use the shared Codex local environment and worktree bootstrap flow for advanced multi-agent setups.
## Where to go next
Install Fleet Pi and launch the workspace in under five minutes.

## Data flow
1. The **browser** sends a user message to `/api/chat` via NDJSON stream.
2. The **server route** sanitizes input (PII), logs with correlation IDs, and creates or resumes a Pi session.
3. The **Pi server module** invokes Amazon Bedrock through a circuit breaker.
4. Streaming events (`start`, `delta`, `tool`, `done`, `error`) flow back to the client.
5. The **client** hydrates messages from the Pi session file on reload and opens supporting resources/workspace panels on demand.
6. Supporting endpoints expose models, resources, workspace files, sessions, and health checks.
7. Durable agent context lives in `agent-workspace/`, including project memory, plans, artifacts, and workspace-installed Pi resources.
# Fleet Pi quickstart
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-pi/quickstart
Install Fleet Pi with pnpm, configure a Google Gemini API key, and launch the local Pi-backed chat workspace in under five minutes.
Get Fleet Pi running locally with Pi-backed chat and repo-scoped tools.
## Prerequisites
* **Node.js 22 or newer** β [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/)
* **pnpm 10.33.3** β matches the pinned `packageManager` field in `package.json`
* **An LLM provider API key** β Fleet Pi defaults to Google Gemini (`gemini-3.5-flash`). Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Vertex, Mistral, Groq, and Ollama are also supported.
The default provider is `google` and the default model is `gemini-3.5-flash`. Set `GEMINI_API_KEY` to use the default, or switch providers in the in-app config panel.
Enable Corepack once so the pinned pnpm version is used automatically:
```zsh theme={null}
corepack enable
corepack prepare pnpm@10.33.3 --activate
```
## 1. Clone and install
```zsh theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/Qredence/fleet-pi.git
cd fleet-pi
pnpm install
```
## 2. Create local configuration
```zsh theme={null}
cp .env.example .env
```
The dev server loads `.env` from the repo root, then `.env.local` (`.env.local` wins) for server-side routes. The checked-in example only contains public-safe knobs. See the [configuration reference](/fleet-pi/configuration) for every supported variable.
Typical first-run choices:
* Set `GEMINI_API_KEY` to use the default Google Gemini provider.
* To use a different provider, set its API-key env var (`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `MISTRAL_API_KEY`, `GROQ_API_KEY`, `OLLAMA_BASE_URL`) or AWS credentials for Bedrock. Then select the provider in the in-app config panel.
* Leave `PI_AGENT_DIR` unset unless you want a non-default Pi agent resource directory.
Provider keys can also be entered in the in-app config panel, which writes them to `.env.local`. The active provider and model are stored in Pi settings.
## 3. Start the app
```zsh theme={null}
pnpm dev
```
Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
## 4. Smoke check
In a second terminal:
```zsh theme={null}
curl http://localhost:3000/api/health
```
Expected response:
```json theme={null}
{ "status": "ok" }
```
Then send a simple prompt like `read package.json` in the chat UI and confirm that a `read` tool card appears in the transcript.
## What "standalone" means
Standalone does **not** mean "without Pi" or "without an LLM provider." It means:
* You run Fleet Pi locally as a normal pnpm web app.
* The bundled Pi runtime (`@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent`) powers chat and tool execution.
* The backend still expects a working LLM provider β every model call goes through the [circuit breaker](/fleet-pi/runbooks#circuit-breaker-states).
* You do not need the Codex desktop app or the advanced Codex worktree flow.
## Optional: enable authentication
Fleet Pi ships with [Better Auth](https://www.better-auth.com/) and an embedded SQLite database. Auth is disabled until you set a secret:
```zsh theme={null}
# in .env
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
BETTER_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
```
Google OAuth becomes available when `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID` and `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET` are both set. The auth database defaults to `.fleet/auth.sqlite`; override with `AUTH_DATABASE_PATH`.
To use Neon Managed Auth instead of Better Auth, set `NEON_AUTH_BASE_URL` and `VITE_NEON_AUTH_URL`. Fleet Pi automatically falls back to Better Auth when both are unset. See the [Neon Managed Auth reference](/fleet-pi/configuration#neon-managed-auth-optional) for the full variable list.
## Useful commands
```zsh theme={null}
pnpm dev # start the dev server
pnpm typecheck # TypeScript across the workspace
pnpm lint # ESLint
pnpm --filter web test # Vitest unit tests (incl. circuit breaker)
pnpm e2e # Playwright end-to-end tests

# Fleet Pi operational runbooks
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-pi/runbooks
Incident response and troubleshooting runbooks for Fleet Pi β LLM provider circuit-breaker recovery, chat-stream triage, and Neon Postgres mirror operations.
This page is operational reference material. New users should start with the [Introduction](/fleet-pi/introduction) and [Quickstart](/fleet-pi/quickstart).
## Incident response
### IR-1: Bedrock API outage (circuit breaker open)
This runbook applies when Amazon Bedrock is the configured provider. Fleet Pi defaults to Google Gemini; if you're seeing chat failures with the default, treat them as generic provider errors and check your `GEMINI_API_KEY` and provider status first.
**Trigger:** Users report chat returning "Bedrock API is temporarily unavailable" or all `/api/chat` requests fail with 500 errors.
1. **Verify the circuit breaker state**
* Check application logs for `bedrock-api` circuit breaker events
* Look for `open` state transitions in logs with `requestId` correlation
* Run `curl -sf http://localhost:3000/api/health` to confirm the web server is still healthy
2. **Check Bedrock service status**
* Verify AWS credentials are valid: `aws sts get-caller-identity`
* Check Bedrock model access in the AWS Console for the configured region (default `us-east-1`)
* Review AWS Service Health Dashboard for regional outages
3. **Inspect recent error patterns**
* Search logs for the last 30 minutes: `grep "bedrock-api"` or `grep "circuit breaker"`
* Identify if errors are throttling (429), auth (403), or model-level (400)
* Note the `errorThresholdPercentage` (50%) and `volumeThreshold` (5) β the breaker opens after 3 failures within 5 calls
4. **Wait for automatic recovery or force reset**
* The circuit breaker `resetTimeout` is 30 seconds; it will attempt a half-open call after that period
* If Bedrock is confirmed restored but the breaker is still open, restart the dev server to reset the breaker state
5. **Communicate**
* Post in the incident channel: "Bedrock circuit breaker open β root cause under investigation"
* If AWS is at fault, set status page to "degraded" and estimate recovery based on AWS status updates
### IR-2: Chat session corruption or data loss
**Trigger:** Users refresh the page and see an empty transcript, or the chat UI shows "Session reset" repeatedly.
1. **Identify the affected session**
* Extract `sessionId` from browser `localStorage` or from the `start` event in recent `/api/chat` request logs
* Locate the Pi session file path under `.fleet/sessions/` inside the repo root
2. **Check session file validity**
* Verify the session JSONL file exists and is readable
* Ensure the file is inside the repo-scoped session directory (outside files are rejected by `isUsableSessionFile`)
* Look for truncated or malformed JSONL lines at the end of the file
3. **Validate localStorage metadata**
* If `localStorage` contains an invalid `sessionFile` (e.g. pointing to `/etc/hosts` or a non-existent path), the app silently starts a fresh repo-scoped session β this is expected behavior
* Instruct the user to clear `localStorage` for the site if the stored metadata is corrupt
4. **Attempt manual hydration**
* Call `POST /api/chat/session` with the `sessionId` to trigger `hydrateChatSession`
* If the session file cannot be opened, the server returns an empty message list with `sessionReset: true`
5. **Recover or recreate**
* If the file is corrupt beyond repair, archive it and let the user start a new session
* If the issue is widespread, check disk space and file system permissions on `.fleet/sessions/`
6. **Follow up**
* Document the root cause (disk full, permission issue, or Pi SDK bug)
* Monitor `SessionManager.open` error rates for 24 hours
## Troubleshooting
### Bedrock errors
Symptoms: Chat streams terminate with `error` events, model picker shows unavailable models, or diagnostics contain model registry errors.
* **ThrottlingException (429)** β Bedrock is rate-limiting requests.
* Check the `requestId` in logs to confirm it is the same across retries
* The Pi SDK auto-retries with exponential backoff; do not manually retry
* If sustained, enable request batching or switch to a lower-traffic model variant
* **AccessDeniedException (403)** β IAM role or profile lacks `bedrock:*` permissions.
* Verify `AWS_PROFILE` and `AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK` environment variables
* Ensure the IAM policy includes `bedrock:InvokeModel` and `bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream`
* **ValidationException (400)** β The requested model ID is invalid.
* Check `modelSelection` in the request body against the registry
* Model IDs use region prefixes (e.g. `us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6`); the backend normalizes candidates but a completely unknown ID will fail
* **ModelNotReadyException** β The model is not enabled in the AWS account.
* Visit the Bedrock Console > Model access and enable the model for the current region
* **Network / timeout errors** β The circuit breaker `timeout` is 30 seconds.
* If Bedrock does not respond within 30 seconds, the breaker counts it as a failure
* Check VPC endpoints or corporate proxy settings if running in a restricted network
### Session hydration failures
Symptoms: After refreshing the browser, prior messages are gone; the UI shows a blank chat; `sessionReset: true` appears in `/api/chat` responses.
* **Invalid `sessionFile` in localStorage** β The browser stores only Pi session metadata (`sessionFile` and `sessionId`). If `sessionFile` points outside the repo session directory, `isUsableSessionFile` returns `false` and a fresh repo-scoped session is created silently.
* Remediation: Clear site `localStorage` and start a new chat
* **Missing or moved session file** β The session JSONL was deleted or moved after the metadata was stored.
* Remediation: Check `.fleet/sessions/` for the file; if missing, the session is unrecoverable
* **Corrupt session JSONL** β A malformed line causes `SessionManager.open` to throw.
* Remediation: Inspect the file with `head -n 20` and `tail -n 5`; remove trailing partial lines if safe, otherwise archive and start fresh
* **Race condition during streaming** β If a page refresh happens while the session is being compacted, the file may be in an inconsistent state.
* Remediation: Wait 5 seconds and retry hydration; the compaction lock should release
### Circuit breaker states
The Bedrock API call is wrapped by `opossum` with the following configuration:
| Option | Value | Meaning |
| -------------------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `errorThresholdPercentage` | 50% | Open after half of sampled calls fail |
| `resetTimeout` | 30,000 ms | Wait 30 s before trying half-open |
| `volumeThreshold` | 5 | Minimum 5 calls before breaker can open |
| `timeout` | 30,000 ms | Each call must complete within 30 s |
* **Closed (normal)** β Requests flow to Bedrock. Failures are counted.
* **Open** β All calls are rejected immediately with the fallback error: `"Bedrock API is temporarily unavailable due to repeated failures. Please try again later."`
* **Half-open** β The next call is allowed through as a probe. If the probe succeeds, the breaker closes. If it fails, the breaker opens again for another `resetTimeout`.
### Chat session mirror (Neon Postgres)
Pi session JSONL files under `.fleet/sessions/` remain authoritative. When `FLEET_PI_CHAT_DATABASE_URL` is set, Fleet Pi mirrors full session entries and run provenance into Neon Postgres so you can query conversations with SQL, power cross-surface history, run analytics, and debug long-running runs.
Mirror writes happen on session create, hydrate, and list paths. Failures are caught and logged with the matching `requestId` β they never interrupt chat streaming.
**When to enable it**
* You need SQL search or analytics across Pi sessions.
* You run Fleet Pi across multiple surfaces and want a single source for chat history.
* You want durable provenance for tool executions and file mutations beyond what local SQLite captures.
**Roles**
Provision two Neon roles and keep them separate:
| Role | Privileges | Used by |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| `neondb_owner` | Full DDL + DML (CREATE, ALTER, DROP, etc.) | Migration CLI only |
| `fleet_pi_app` | SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE on `pi_*` tables | Running application |
**Configure**
Set both connection strings in `.env`:
```bash theme={null}
# Runtime mirror (pooled app-role connection)
FLEET_PI_CHAT_DATABASE_URL=postgres://fleet_pi_app:...@ep-xxxx-pooler.neon.tech/neondb?sslmode=require
# Migration-only (direct owner connection)
FLEET_PI_CHAT_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL=postgres://neondb_owner:...@ep-xxxx.neon.tech/neondb?sslmode=require
```
Leave `FLEET_PI_CHAT_DATABASE_URL` unset to keep Pi conversations in JSONL and local SQLite only.
**Run migrations**
```bash theme={null}
pnpm --filter web chat:migrate
```
Re-run after pulling changes that update the schema. The script is idempotent and records applied migrations in `fleet_pi_chat_migrations`.
**Tables**
| Table | Contents |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `public.pi_sessions` | Pi session headers and current session metadata |
| `public.pi_session_entries` | Full raw Pi entries plus normalized search fields |
| `public.pi_runs` | Assistant turn/run summaries |
| `public.pi_run_events` | Ordered streamed chat events |
| `public.pi_tool_executions` | Tool call inputs, outputs, and claimed paths |
| `public.pi_file_mutations` | File mutation summaries attributed to runs and tools |
**Triage**
* Mirror disabled unexpectedly: confirm `FLEET_PI_CHAT_DATABASE_URL` is loaded in the running process (check `/api/health` host env, not just the `.env` file).
* Rows missing for a recent session: grep logs for the session's `requestId` and look for mirror sync warnings; the JSONL file is still authoritative and you can re-trigger sync by hydrating the session.
* Migration fails with permission errors: verify `FLEET_PI_CHAT_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL` uses `neondb_owner`, not the app role.
### Deployment release gate (Vercel + Neon)
Operator workflow for promoting Fleet Pi to Vercel with Neon-backed auth and Pi session mirroring. Trust zones and required env vars are documented in [configuration](/fleet-pi/configuration#vercel-deployment-trust-zones).
**What the gate checks**
`pnpm --filter web verify-deployment-readiness` validates:
* Required Vercel env vars for Better Auth and the chat mirror.
* Preview trust-zone markers (`FLEET_PI_DEPLOYMENT_TRUST_ZONE=preview`).
* Distinct preview and production Neon database markers on Preview.
* Optional owner-connection probes when `FLEET_PI_AUTH_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL` and `FLEET_PI_CHAT_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL` are supplied.
Vercel builds also call `assertDeploymentReadyOnBoot()` during Better Auth initialization, so missing secrets fail before serving auth routes.
**CI job**
The `vercel-release-gate` job runs on every PR:
1. `NITRO_PRESET=vercel pnpm --filter web build:vercel`
2. `verify-deployment-readiness` against production-shaped env
3. `verify-deployment-readiness` against preview-shaped env (marker must appear in both auth and chat database URLs)
4. Optional owner-connection probes when migration secrets are available
**Pre-promotion checklist**
1. Apply auth grants: `pnpm --filter web auth:migrate`
2. Apply chat mirror migrations: `pnpm --filter web chat:migrate`
3. Run readiness with owner URLs:
```bash theme={null}
FLEET_PI_AUTH_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL=... \
FLEET_PI_CHAT_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL=... \
pnpm --filter web verify-deployment-readiness
```
4. Deploy to Preview with an isolated Neon branch and preview-only secrets.
5. Sign in against Preview and confirm session create, resume, and delete succeed.
6. Promote to Production only after the gate and smoke checks pass.
**Break-glass**
If production is blocked by a false-positive readiness check:
1. Capture the `verify-deployment-readiness` output.
2. Confirm the Neon migration ledger and RLS state manually.
3. Set the missing env vars in Vercel β never disable owner-only mirror rules.
4. Redeploy and re-run the smoke checks.
Do **not** disable `assertDeploymentReadyOnBoot()` or owner-only persistence to unblock traffic.
### Owner-only session mirror and user erasure
Vercel deployments enforce owner-only Pi session mirroring: every mirror write, resume, and provenance query is scoped to the authenticated `userId` under Neon RLS. Local development without `FLEET_PI_CHAT_DATABASE_URL` keeps anonymous sessions.
Users can erase their own data through the API:
* `DELETE /api/chat/session?sessionId=β¦` β remove one owned session (cascades to runs, tool executions, and file mutations).
* `DELETE /api/chat/account` β erase all mirrored Pi sessions and BYOK provider credentials for the caller.
Both endpoints require an authenticated session and only touch the caller's rows. See the [API reference](/fleet-pi/api-reference#delete-apichataccount) for full response shapes.
**Legacy ownerless rows**
Ownerless sessions predating owner-only enforcement are quarantined manually. Requires `FLEET_PI_CHAT_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL` (owner connection).
```bash theme={null}
# Inspect only
pnpm --filter web quarantine-orphan-sessions -- --dry-run
# Quarantine ownerless rows (no delete)
pnpm --filter web quarantine-orphan-sessions
# Purge after explicit approval
pnpm --filter web quarantine-orphan-sessions -- --purge
```
Never auto-claim ownerless rows to a user.

### Runtime cache pressure
Symptoms: Memory grows over long sessions; Bedrock calls feel slower than expected after long idle periods.
* Pi runtimes are cached per session with a TTL controlled by `FLEET_PI_RUNTIME_TTL_MS` (defaults to 10 minutes).
* Lower the TTL if you want runtimes evicted sooner; raise it to keep them warmer between turns.
* Restart `pnpm dev` to forcibly drop all warm runtimes if you suspect leaked Pi state.
### Workspace contract drift
Symptoms: `GET /api/workspace/health` returns missing canonical paths or an unexpected manifest version.
* The contract version is pinned at `WORKSPACE_CONTRACT_VERSION = 1` in `workspace-contract.ts`.
* Missing canonical directories should be re-created by workspace bootstrap on the next run; user-authored content is never overwritten.
* Use `POST /api/workspace/reindex` to rebuild the projection index without modifying canonical files.

# Fleet Pi runtime SDK integration seams
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-pi/runtime-sdk-integration
Implementation reference for Fleet Pi's Pi runtime seams β session construction, NDJSON streaming, queueing, and the SessionManager surfaces for adaptive work.
This page is an implementation reference for deeper platform work. For the recommended public docs path, start with the [Introduction](/fleet-pi/introduction).
This guide maps the current Fleet Pi runtime seams that later adaptive workspace work must extend without breaking Pi session compatibility, queueing during streaming, or read-only Plan mode behavior.
## Current runtime seams
### Runtime construction
* `createSessionServices` is Fleet Pi's wrapper around `createAgentSessionServices`.
* `createPiRuntime` builds or reuses the live runtime by combining `createAgentSessionRuntime`, Fleet Pi service wiring, model selection, and Plan mode setup.
* `SessionManager` remains the owner of persistent Pi session files, hydration, and resume semantics.
### Streaming and queueing
* `/api/chat` streams NDJSON events from the active Pi session.
* The route subscribes to runtime events through `session.subscribe(...)`.
* Follow-up prompting uses the existing queueing during streaming path through `queuePromptOnActiveSession`, so new workspace hooks must not start parallel assistant turns.
### Plan mode
* Plan mode is implemented as a web-native Pi extension plus persisted custom session entries.
* It must stay read-only: allowed tools remain inspection-only, and blocked shell activity must keep returning an explicit reason instead of mutating the repo.
### Resource loading
* The Pi runtime still reads committed project resources from `.pi/`.
* Fleet Pi merges those results with workspace-installed resources discovered under `agent-workspace/.pi/*`.
* `.pi/settings.json` compatibility bridge remains the handoff between Pi's loader and workspace-native resources.
## Safe hook points for the adaptive workspace mission
### Workspace bootstrap
Workspace bootstrap should attach at repo/runtime entrypoints that already know the active project root, such as workspace API handlers and runtime setup helpers. The hook must stay best-effort: bootstrap failure may produce diagnostics, but it must not redefine chat health or rewrite Pi session files.
### Indexing
Indexing should attach after canonical file creation or through explicit workspace endpoints. It can observe canonical paths, hashes, and semantic records, but it must treat `agent-workspace/indexes/` as a projection rather than a durable memory store.
### Provenance
Provenance should attach around the existing runtime event flow:
* session creation and resume
* `session.subscribe(...)` event handling
* tool execution lifecycle events
* canonical file mutations and resource installs
Those records should explain what happened without replacing the canonical files or the Pi-compatible session history that already exists.
## Non-regression rules
* Preserve Pi session compatibility and existing `SessionManager` semantics.
* Preserve queueing during streaming for follow-up prompts.
* Preserve read-only Plan mode behavior.
* Preserve `.pi/settings.json` compatibility bridge behavior for workspace resources.
* Add workspace bootstrap, indexing, and provenance as extensions around the current seams, not as a replacement for them.
# Architecture
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/concepts/architecture
How the Fleet Prime Agent browser UI, web server, PrimeBridge, and the pinned upstream Prime Agent runtime fit together.
Fleet Prime Agent is an independent UI and product layer over the external, TUI-first Prime Agent runtime. The web stack is the interface; the stock upstream `prime-agent` package is the execution engine.
## Process boundary
```
browser β EventSource/fetch ββΆ TanStack Start (web/app /api routes)
β thin wrappers
βΌ
web/server handlers
β
βΌ
PrimeBridge
β daemon client and Fleet session registry

```
## Layers
| Layer | Location | Role |
| --------- | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Interface | `web/app` (TanStack Start) + `web/design` | Routes, chat UI, tool cards, design system. Talks HTTP only. |
| Contract | `web/protocol` | `chat-protocol.ts` stream frames and the Fleet contract types shared by browser and server. |
| Adapter | `web/server` | `prime-bridge.ts`, `event-mapper.ts`, and the HTTP handlers. The only web package that imports `prime-agent`. |
| Engine | pinned `prime-agent` package | Sessions, tools, providers, daemon protocol, IPython kernel. |
| Launcher | `packages/fleet-prime` | The `fleet-agent` binary: resolves the pinned runtime and serves the production web bundle. |
Two boundary rules keep the layers honest:
* Browser code (`web/app`, `web/design`) never imports `prime-agent`. It consumes `web/protocol` contracts over HTTP (NDJSON and SSE) only.
* `web/server` owns the daemon connection, event mapping, session attachment, pending dialogs, and replay buffers.
## PrimeBridge
`PrimeBridge` in `web/server` is the daemon client and Fleet session registry. Per session it keeps a `BridgeSession`, a ring buffer of the last 500 stream frames for SSE replay, and a pending-dialog registry with a 60-second timeout. It binds an `ExtensionUIContext` per session so engine-side `confirm`/`select`/`input` dialogs become `tool-Question` frames that the browser answers through `POST /api/chat/question`, and `notify`/`setStatus`/`setWidget` become `state` frames.
`event-mapper.ts` is a pure function from engine `AgentSessionEvent`s to browser-safe `ChatStreamEvent`s. Unknown engine events are ignored with a compile-time exhaustiveness tripwire until Fleet defines a presentation for them.
## The daemon
`web/server` connects to the engine through the upstream daemon rather than in-process calls. On startup it probes the default daemon socket and, if needed, spawns the pinned runtime with `--mode daemon`. If the socket is owned by a daemon that is not the pinned version, the server refuses to attach and reports the mismatch instead of silently using an incompatible engine.
## The launcher
`fleet-agent` (alias `fleet-prime`) is a small Node wrapper:
* `fleet-agent [--host ] [--port ]` serves the production web bundle on `127.0.0.1:3000` by default and sets `PRIME_AGENT_WORKSPACE_ROOT` to the directory you launched from.
* `fleet-agent agent ` runs the pinned engine CLI directly.
* If the production bundle is missing but a source checkout with dependencies exists, it falls back to the Vite dev server with a warning.
## Runtime pin
`PRIME_AGENT_RUNTIME.json` records the upstream package, version, tarball URL, and SHA-256. `packages/fleet-prime` and `web/server` consume the same pinned tarball. Upstream source is never vendored or patched inside this repository. See [Runtime pin and releases](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/upgrading-the-runtime).
# Sessions and projects
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/concepts/sessions-and-projects
How Fleet Prime Agent persists sessions on disk, groups them into projects, and reports session status in the workspace.
## Sessions
A session is a persistent conversation with the agent. The engine backs each session with:
* A JSONL transcript on disk under `~/.prime/agent/`, written by the daemon's session catalog.
* A persistent IPython kernel, so variables, open files, and processes survive across tool calls within the session.
Because transcripts live on disk and the daemon outlives the browser tab, sessions remain available after you close the browser. The workspace lists them again on the next launch, and `POST /api/chat/resume` reattaches by `sessionId` or `sessionFile`.
Sessions are created with a working directory (`cwd`), an optional model, and an optional thinking level. You can rename and delete sessions from the workspace (`PATCH` and `DELETE` on `/api/chat/sessions`).
## Projects
The web workspace groups sessions into projects. A project associates sessions with a directory on disk, so one Fleet instance can track work across multiple codebases. The project registry is server-side state in `web/server`; projects support create, rename, delete, and fork (`/api/projects`, `/api/projects/fork`), and a directory picker (`/api/projects/browse`) helps you bind a project to a path.
The default working directory is the directory you launched `fleet-agent` from (exposed to the server as `PRIME_AGENT_WORKSPACE_ROOT`). You can rebind it at runtime with `POST /api/workspace/root`.
## Session status
The workspace derives one of four statuses per session:
| Status | Meaning |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `running` | The session is streaming a turn, or the daemon reports it actively working. |
| `idle` | The session is live (attached or active) but not currently working. |
| `interrupted` | The session exists on disk but has no live daemon worker. |
| `failed` | The daemon reports the session crashed. |
## Attachments
Sessions accept file attachments through the workspace composer (`POST /api/chat/session`), and individual attachments are fetched back by `attachmentId`. Attachments are managed per session on the server side.

# Streaming
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/concepts/streaming
The NDJSON turn stream, the SSE replay channel, ring buffers, and the ChatStreamEvent frames Fleet Prime Agent sends to the browser.
The browser receives agent output over two channels that share one frame vocabulary, `ChatStreamEvent`, defined in `web/protocol/src/chat-protocol.ts`.
## Turn stream: NDJSON over POST
`POST /api/chat` runs a turn and streams NDJSON frames back on the response. The first frame is a `start` frame that advertises `adapterCapabilities` (for example `reasoning-summary-v1`), which is how optional features are negotiated: clients that don't recognize a capability simply don't render the corresponding enhancement.
While a turn is active, the NDJSON stream is authoritative; the SSE handler skips frames for a session whose status is `streaming` or `submitted` so nothing renders twice.
## Out-of-turn pushes: SSE with replay
`GET /api/chat/events?sessionId=` opens a Server-Sent Events channel for pushes that happen outside an active turn: `tool-Question` dialog requests, `state` frames from `notify`/`setStatus`, and messages sent by IPython code.
Every dispatched frame lands in a per-session in-memory ring buffer (500 frames) with a monotonically increasing integer `seq`. On reconnect the client sends `Last-Event-ID` and the server replays every frame with a greater sequence number. If the ring buffer overflowed while the client was away, the server emits a `resync-required` state frame and the client rehydrates the session with `GET /api/chat/session`.
Sequence numbers persist in `sessionStorage`, so a page reload resumes the SSE cursor without a server round trip. Sequences are per-session and in-memory; they are not durable across a server restart.
## Frame types
| Frame | Purpose |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `start` | Turn started; carries `adapterCapabilities`. |
| `delta` | Streamed assistant text. |
| `tool` | Tool card update; the `ChatToolPart` state moves `input-streaming β output-available` or `output-error`. |
| `reasoning` | Controlled reasoning summary presentation. Raw thinking deltas are suppressed from the browser transcript. |
| `plan` | Plan progress: mode, executing flag, completed/total counts, and plan state. |
| `state` | Session state changes (`agent_start`, `agent_settled`, status text, widgets). |
| `queue` | Steering and follow-up message queues. |
| `compaction` | Context compaction started or ended, with reason and summary. |
| `retry` | Provider retry started or ended. |
| `error` | A typed Fleet error envelope with a code and optional remediation. |
| `done` | Turn finished; the transcript is finalized. |
## Tool naming
The event mapper converts engine tool names to PascalCase frame types with special-casing for `IPython` and short acronyms: `tool-IPython`, `tool-Bash`, `tool-Edit`, `tool-Task`, `tool-Question`, `tool-WebSearch`, and so on. Tool renderers in `web/design/src/components` dispatch on `part.type`, and anything without a dedicated card falls back to a generic tool renderer.
## Interactive questions
When the engine asks for input (`confirm`, `select`, `input`), the bridge emits a `tool-Question` frame and registers a pending dialog with a 60-second timeout. The browser answers through `POST /api/chat/question`; aborting a turn also cancels its pending dialogs. Pending dialogs are not persisted across a server restart.
# Developing from source
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/guides/development
Package manager boundaries, dev server, checks, and tests for working on the Fleet Prime Agent codebase.
## Prerequisites
Read `AGENTS.md` in the repository before opening a pull request. It defines the development, validation, and pinned-runtime upgrade rules this page summarizes. Area-specific guides live in `docs/guides/`.
## Two package managers, one rule
The repository uses two isolated workspaces:
* **Repo root** β npm workspace for the Fleet launcher (`packages/fleet-prime`) and the pinned upstream runtime. `npm install` only.
* **`web/`** β pnpm workspace for the web product (`web/app`, `web/design`, `web/protocol`, `web/server`). `pnpm install` only, always with `--dir web`.
Never run `npm install` inside `web/`, and never run pnpm at the repository root.
Running pnpm at the repo root rewrites the root `node_modules` to a pnpm layout and drops stray `pnpm-workspace.yaml` and `pnpm-lock.yaml` files at the root. To recover: delete both files, re-run `npm install` at the root, and never commit them.
## Setup and dev server
```bash theme={null}
npm ci
pnpm install --dir web
pnpm --dir web --filter @prime-agent/web dev # or: npm run dev:web
```
## Validation
After code changes, run the full check from the repository root:
```bash theme={null}
npm run check
```
It runs, in order: the runtime pin check (`check:runtime`), Biome lint/format with warnings as errors, the source installer check, the rendering contract checks, and the web typechecks. `npm run check` does not run tests.
## Tests
Run the web test suites with `pnpm --dir web test`, or run a focused file from the relevant package root:
```bash theme={null}
cd web/server
pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/specific.test.ts
```
Adapter tests use the web server's deterministic test doubles; they need no real provider APIs or keys.
## Boundary rules to respect
* Do not import `prime-agent` outside `web/server`. Browser code talks HTTP only.
* Do not add or restore vendored Prime Agent source trees. Engine changes belong upstream.

# Providers and models
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/guides/providers-and-models
Add model providers, sign in with OAuth, discover OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and pick models per session in Fleet Prime Agent.
Fleet Prime Agent brings its own provider credentials: you pick the provider and model per session. Provider and model support comes from the pinned upstream engine; Fleet surfaces the catalog and stores nothing itself.
## Add a provider
Two equivalent paths:
* **Settings β Providers** in the web workspace.
* `/login` in the composer.
Credentials are stored by the engine under `~/.prime/agent/` and are shared with any `prime-agent` install on the same machine, so signing in once covers both the web workspace and the terminal.
## OAuth providers
Providers that use OAuth instead of a static API key complete their flow through the workspace (`POST /api/chat/providers/oauth`). The engine refreshes tokens for long-running sessions.
## OpenAI-compatible endpoints
For self-hosted or OpenAI-compatible servers, the workspace can probe an endpoint's `/v1/models` listing (`POST /api/chat/models/discover`) and register the discovered models. Custom provider definitions are kept by the server's custom provider store.
## Pick a model
Choose the model in the composer's model picker when starting a session, or switch it mid-session (`POST /api/chat/model`). The model catalog comes from the engine's model registry (`GET /api/chat/models`), including thinking-level support per model.
## Adding a new provider to the engine
Engine features, including providers and models, are developed in `PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent`, not in this repository. Contribute the provider upstream, then upgrade Fleet's pinned runtime to a release that includes it. See [Runtime pin and releases](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/upgrading-the-runtime).
# Terminal interface
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/guides/terminal
Use the pinned Prime Agent engine from the terminal alongside the Fleet Prime Agent web workspace.
The web workspace is Fleet's product surface, but the pinned engine remains fully usable from the terminal.
## prime-agent
If you have `prime-agent` installed, launch it as usual:
```bash theme={null}
prime-agent
```
Fleet does not replace or shadow an existing `prime-agent` binary. Both share `~/.prime/agent/`: provider credentials, settings, the managed kernel venv, and logs. Sign in once with `/login` and both surfaces are authenticated.
## fleet-agent agent
The Fleet launcher can also run the pinned engine CLI directly, without a separate `prime-agent` install:
```bash theme={null}
fleet-agent agent
```
This resolves the engine bundle from Fleet's pinned `prime-agent` dependency and forwards all arguments to it. Use it when you want to be certain you are running exactly the engine version Fleet is pinned to.
## When to use which
* **Web workspace** (`fleet-agent`) β multi-project session management, tool cards, attachments, and browsing the workspace tree.
* **Terminal** (`prime-agent` or `fleet-agent agent`) β quick one-off runs, environments without a browser, or engine features ahead of Fleet's pinned version (when using a newer standalone `prime-agent`).
For the engine's own CLI flags, slash commands, and TUI behavior, see the [upstream Prime Agent documentation](https://github.com/PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent#readme).
# Runtime pin and releases
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/guides/upgrading-the-runtime
How Fleet Prime Agent pins the upstream Prime Agent runtime, how to upgrade the pin, and how to cut a Fleet release.
Fleet consumes the upstream engine as a stock, checksum-pinned release tarball. Nothing upstream is vendored or patched in this repository.
## The pin
`PRIME_AGENT_RUNTIME.json` at the repository root records:
```json theme={null}
{
"package": "prime-agent",
"version": "0.8.1",
"tarball": "https://.../releases/v0.8.1/prime-agent-0.8.1.tgz",
"sha256": "46c24db1782dd31adc35d5c6cbcc75564faba6ced3bf2ccf03d836ee77134475"
}
```
`packages/fleet-prime/package.json` depends on the same tarball URLs, and `web/server` consumes the same pinned package. `npm run check` runs `node scripts/check-prime-agent-runtime.mjs` first, which fails if the manifest and dependencies drift apart.
## Upgrading the pin
1. Update `PRIME_AGENT_RUNTIME.json` and the matching dependency URLs in `packages/fleet-prime/package.json`.
2. Reinstall: `npm install` at the root and `pnpm --dir web install`.
3. Verify: `node scripts/check-prime-agent-runtime.mjs`, the web-server type checks, and the adapter parity tests.
4. Review changes to the public runtime APIs consumed by `web/server` and to the daemon protocol before merging.
The daemon protocol is upstream-owned. When an upgrade changes the protocol or schema revision, review `web/docs/architecture/fleet-adapter-contract-v1.md`, update `web/server`, and run the daemon-runtime and bridge parity tests in the same PR.
## Engine contributions
Engine features (providers, models, daemon protocol, CLI behavior) are developed in `PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent`. Contribute there first, then upgrade Fleet's pin to a release that includes the change.
## Cutting a Fleet release
A Fleet release ships the web product plus a packed CLI artifact:
1. Upgrade the runtime pin if needed, then run `npm install`, `pnpm --dir web install`, and `npm run check`.
2. Build and pack: `npm run build && npm run build:web:release && npm run release:pack`.
3. Tag this repository. Fleet never publishes Prime Agent itself.
# Web workspace
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/guides/web-workspace
Work with projects, tool cards, slash commands, modes, attachments, and settings in the Fleet Prime Agent browser UI.
Start the workspace from the project directory you want the agent to work in:
```bash theme={null}
cd /path/to/your/project
fleet-agent
```
Open the printed URL (default `http://127.0.0.1:3000`).
## Projects and sessions
The workspace organizes sessions into projects bound to directories on disk. Create a project, browse to its directory, and every session you start in it runs with that working directory. Sessions persist after you close the tab; resume, rename, fork, or delete them from the session list. See [Sessions and projects](/fleet-prime-agent/concepts/sessions-and-projects).
## The composer
The composer is where you type requests and control the run:
* **Model picker** β choose the provider and model per session.
* **Thinking level** β `off`, `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, or `max`.
* **Mode** β `agent` (default), `plan`, or `harness`. Plan mode tracks a plan with progress; you can execute or refine it.
* **Attachments** β attach files to the session for the agent to use.
## Tool cards
Every tool call renders as a dedicated card in the transcript:
* **IPython** β code cells with their output, backed by the session's persistent kernel.
* **Bash and Edit** β shell commands and file edits with diffs.
* **Plans and todos** β plan progress and task lists.
* **Subagents** β child agents spawned by the engine's recursive `rlm` workflow.
* **Questions** β interactive prompts you answer inline. Unanswered dialogs time out after 60 seconds.
Anything without a dedicated card falls back to a generic tool renderer.
## Slash commands
Type `/` in the composer for autocomplete over the engine's slash commands. Common ones:
* `/login` β add provider credentials.
* `/refine` β run the engine's self-improvement workflow over the session trajectory.
Autocomplete comes from `GET /api/chat/commands`; execution goes through `POST /api/chat/command`.
## Skills, prompts, and extensions
The engine's executable skills, prompt templates, and extensions are surfaced in the workspace through `GET /api/chat/resources`. They are engine features: install and author them the same way you would for a plain `prime-agent` install, and Fleet lists them per session.
## Workspace navigation
The workspace panel shows the file tree of the bound directory (`GET /api/workspace/tree`) with file previews (`GET /api/workspace/file`). Rebind the root directory from the UI (`POST /api/workspace/root`) or pick a directory with the built-in browser.
## Settings
**Settings** exposes the resolved engine settings and persists changes through the engine's settings manager (`GET`/`PATCH /api/chat/settings`). Provider management lives in **Settings β Providers**; see [Providers and models](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/providers-and-models).
# Install
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/install
What the Fleet Prime Agent installer does, environment overrides, coexistence with prime-agent, and where files land on disk.
## Requirements
* Node.js 22.8.0 or later (the installer refuses older versions)
* npm 11.10 or later
* Git
* Python 3.10 or later for the managed IPython kernel
## What the installer does
`./fleet-prime.sh install` runs `install.sh`, which:
1. Verifies `git`, `node`, and `npm` are available and that Node meets the minimum version.
2. Uses the current directory if it is already a `Qredence/fleet-prime-agent` checkout, or clones into it if it is empty. It refuses to overwrite a non-empty, unrelated directory.
3. Installs root dependencies with `npm ci`. The root npm workspace contains the Fleet launcher and the pinned upstream runtime.
4. Installs web dependencies with `pnpm install --dir web --frozen-lockfile`. If no compatible pnpm 11 is on your system, the installer runs pnpm 11.15.1 ephemerally through `npm exec`.
5. Builds the Fleet packages and the production web bundle (`scripts/build-web-release.mjs`).
6. Writes a `fleet-agent` launcher shim to `~/.local/bin` (or a fallback directory if `$HOME` is not writable) that execs `fleet-prime.sh` in your checkout.
If `fleet-agent` does not resolve to the freshly installed shim, the installer prints the shim directory to add to your `PATH`.
## Environment overrides
For testing or pinned source installs, `install.sh` reads:
| Variable | Purpose | Default |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `PRIME_AGENT_REPOSITORY_URL` | Repository URL to clone | `https://github.com/Qredence/fleet-prime-agent.git` |
| `PRIME_AGENT_REPOSITORY_REF` | Branch or tag to clone | `main` |
| `PRIME_AGENT_PNPM_VERSION` | Ephemeral pnpm version | `11.15.1` |
| `PRIME_AGENT_SHIM_DIR` | Directory for the `fleet-agent` shim | `~/.local/bin` |
## Coexistence with an existing prime-agent install
Fleet installs as `fleet-agent`; it does not replace or shadow an existing `prime-agent` binary. If the installer detects `prime-agent` on your `PATH`, it leaves it untouched. Both commands share `~/.prime/agent/` settings, kernel venv, and logs.
## Where things live
Session and engine state is owned by the pinned runtime under `~/.prime/agent/`: provider credentials and settings, session transcripts, logs, and the managed Python environment for the IPython kernel. See [Configuration](/fleet-prime-agent/reference/configuration).
## Updating
Pull the latest checkout and re-run the installer. It reuses the existing checkout, reinstalls dependencies, and rebuilds the production bundle:
```bash theme={null}
cd fleet-prime-agent
git pull
./fleet-prime.sh install
```
# Fleet Prime Agent
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/introduction
Fleet Prime Agent is a persistent local workspace for coding and research with AI: a multi-project web chat over the pinned Prime Agent engine.
Fleet Prime Agent combines a multi-project web workspace with the stock [Prime Agent](https://github.com/PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent) engine. The agent works through IPython, shell commands, file edits, plans, and subagents while every session persists on disk. Close the browser, come back later, and pick up where you left off.
Fleet installs as the `fleet-agent` command. It does not fork or patch the engine: the upstream `prime-agent` runtime is consumed as a checksum-pinned release tarball, and the web stack in this repository is the interface on top of it.
## What it does
* **Local web workspace.** Run `fleet-agent` from any project directory and get a browser UI for chat, project sessions, attachments, and workspace navigation, served on `127.0.0.1`.
* **Streaming tool cards.** Agent work streams as dedicated cards for IPython, shell commands, edits, plans, subagents, and interactive questions.
* **Persistent sessions.** Every session is backed by the engine's persistent IPython kernel and a transcript on disk under `~/.prime/agent/`, so state survives page reloads and restarts.
* **Engine features included.** Recursive subagents, executable skills, slash commands, and the `/refine` self-improvement workflow come from the pinned engine and work in the web workspace.
## Start here
Install Fleet Prime Agent, add a provider, and run your first turn.
What the installer does, requirements, and where files land.
How the browser, web server, bridge, and pinned engine fit together.
Every endpoint the web workspace exposes, with methods and purposes.
## How it relates to upstream Prime Agent
The engine version is pinned in `PRIME_AGENT_RUNTIME.json` (currently `prime-agent` 0.8.1) with a SHA-256 checksum. Engine behavior, providers, models, and the daemon protocol are developed in `PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent`, not in this repository. Fleet upgrades the pin explicitly and verifies adapter compatibility on every upgrade. See [Runtime pin and releases](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/upgrading-the-runtime).
Fleet coexists with an existing `prime-agent` install. Both commands share `~/.prime/agent/` settings, kernel venv, and logs, so you can switch between the web workspace and the [terminal interface](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/terminal) at any time.
# Quickstart
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/quickstart
Install Fleet Prime Agent, start a workspace from your project directory, add a model provider, and run your first agent turn.
## Prerequisites
* Node.js 22.8.0 or later
* npm 11.10 or later
* Git
* Python 3.10 or later for the managed IPython kernel
## 1. Install
Clone the repository and run the installer. It installs the pinned upstream Prime Agent runtime, the web dependencies, builds the production web bundle, and links the `fleet-agent` command.
```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/Qredence/fleet-prime-agent.git
cd fleet-prime-agent
./fleet-prime.sh install
```
The installer places a `fleet-agent` shim in `~/.local/bin`. If that directory is not on your `PATH`, the installer prints the path to add. See [Install](/fleet-prime-agent/install) for details and overrides.
## 2. Start your workspace
Run Fleet Prime Agent from the project directory you want the agent to work in:
```bash theme={null}
cd /path/to/your/project
fleet-agent
```
The launcher prints a local URL:
```
Fleet Prime interface: http://127.0.0.1:3000
```
Open it in your browser. The server binds to `127.0.0.1` and rejects non-loopback requests.
## 3. Add a provider and pick a model
On first use, add a model provider in **Settings β Providers**, or type `/login` in the composer. Then choose a model in the composer's model picker. Credentials are stored by the engine under `~/.prime/agent/` and are shared with any existing `prime-agent` install.
See [Providers and models](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/providers-and-models) for OAuth providers and OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
## 4. Run a turn
Type a request in the composer. The agent streams its work as cards: IPython cells, shell commands, file edits, plans, subagents, and interactive questions you can answer inline. Your session persists after you close the browser; reopen the workspace and resume it from the session list.
## Prefer a terminal?
The pinned engine's TUI is available as `prime-agent`, and `fleet-agent agent ` runs the pinned engine CLI directly. See [Terminal interface](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/terminal).
## Next steps
Projects, tool cards, slash commands, attachments, and settings.
How sessions persist, resume, and map to projects.
# Configuration
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/reference/configuration
Launcher flags, environment variables, and on-disk locations for Fleet Prime Agent.
## Launcher flags
```bash theme={null}
fleet-agent [--host ] [--port ]
```
| Flag | Default | Purpose |
| -------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `--host` | `127.0.0.1` | Bind address for the web server. Non-loopback requests are rejected with `403 Loopback requests only`. |
| `--port` | `3000` | TCP port for the web server. |
`fleet-agent agent ` bypasses the web server entirely and runs the pinned engine CLI.
## Environment variables
| Variable | Purpose |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `PRIME_AGENT_WORKSPACE_ROOT` | Default workspace root for the server. The launcher sets it to the directory you ran `fleet-agent` from. |
| `PRIME_BRIDGE_DEBUG` | Enable verbose bridge logging in `web/server`. |
| `VITE_FLEET_PI_CHAT_RUNTIME_URL` | Point the browser at a remote runtime instead of the local server. |
| `PRIME_AGENT_REPOSITORY_URL` | Installer override: repository URL to clone. |
| `PRIME_AGENT_REPOSITORY_REF` | Installer override: branch or tag to clone. |
| `PRIME_AGENT_PNPM_VERSION` | Installer override: ephemeral pnpm version. |
| `PRIME_AGENT_SHIM_DIR` | Installer override: directory for the `fleet-agent` shim. |
## On-disk locations
| Path | Purpose |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `~/.prime/agent/` | Engine state shared with `prime-agent`: provider credentials and settings, session transcripts, logs, and the managed IPython kernel environment. |
| `~/.local/bin/fleet-agent` | The launcher shim written by the installer (override with `PRIME_AGENT_SHIM_DIR`). |
| `PRIME_AGENT_RUNTIME.json` | The pinned engine package, version, tarball URL, and SHA-256. |
## Dependency policy
Dependency updates in the repository respect a 7-day minimum release age: `.npmrc` sets `min-release-age=7` and Dependabot uses a matching cooldown. Enforcement requires npm 11.10 or later. For an urgent security patch younger than 7 days, override explicitly with `npm install --min-release-age=0 `.
# HTTP API
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/reference/http-api
Every endpoint the Fleet Prime Agent web server exposes: chat, sessions, projects, workspace, and health.
The web workspace is served by process-agnostic `Request β Response` handlers in `web/server`, mounted as `/api` routes by `web/app`. All endpoints bind to loopback by default; there is no authentication layer. Set `VITE_FLEET_PI_CHAT_RUNTIME_URL` to point the browser at a remote runtime.

## Areas
| Area | Package | Role |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `packages/fleet-prime` | `@qredence/fleet-prime` | Thin launcher. Resolves the pinned `prime-agent` runtime, serves the production web bundle, forwards `fleet-agent agent` to the engine CLI. Not an upstream source checkout. |
| `web/app` | `@prime-agent/web` | Browser host built on TanStack Start. Owns routing and mounts the `/api` handlers. Talks HTTP only. |
| `web/design` | `@prime-agent/web-design` | Component library: chat shell, tool cards, OpenUI rendering, registries with contract checks. |
| `web/protocol` | `@prime-agent/web-protocol` | Typed contracts shared by browser and server: `ChatStreamEvent` frames, Fleet error envelopes, session presentations, provider catalog. |
| `web/server` | `@prime-agent/web-server` | The only web package that imports `prime-agent`. Daemon connection, `PrimeBridge`, event mapping, project registry, workspace endpoints. |
## Workspace boundaries
The repo root is an npm workspace; `web/` is an isolated pnpm workspace. Install with `npm install` at the root and `pnpm install --dir web` β never the other way around. See [Developing from source](/fleet-prime-agent/guides/development).
## Contributor docs in the repo
* `web/app/ARCHITECTURE.md` β web application architecture and the HTTP API.
* `web/docs/architecture/fleet-adapter-contract-v1.md` β the adapter contract between Fleet and the pinned runtime.
* `docs/guides/` β area guides indexed from `AGENTS.md`.
* `docs/adr/` β architecture decision records.
# Security model
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-prime-agent/reference/security
Trust boundaries, network exposure, credential storage, and runtime integrity for Fleet Prime Agent.
Fleet Prime Agent is a local, single-user tool. Its security posture reflects that.
## Network exposure
* The web server binds to `127.0.0.1:3000` by default.
* The production launcher rejects requests that do not originate from loopback with `403 Loopback requests only`, even if you bind another host.
* There is no multi-user authentication and no token layer. Do not expose the port to untrusted networks; anyone who can reach it can drive the agent with your credentials and filesystem access.
## Code execution
The agent executes real code on your machine: IPython cells, shell commands, and file edits run with your user's permissions in the bound workspace directory. Interactive question dialogs are the approval surface for actions that ask first; unanswered dialogs time out after 60 seconds. Run Fleet in projects you trust.
## Credentials
Provider API keys and OAuth tokens are stored by the pinned engine under `~/.prime/agent/`, shared with any `prime-agent` install. Fleet's web stack never stores credentials itself; the server reads them through the engine.
## Runtime integrity
* The engine is installed from a release tarball pinned by version and SHA-256 in `PRIME_AGENT_RUNTIME.json`; `npm run check` fails if the pin and the installed dependencies drift.
* On startup, the server probes the daemon socket and refuses to attach to a daemon that is not the pinned version, rather than silently driving an unexpected engine.
## Known gaps
* Pending interactive dialogs are not persisted across a server restart.
* SSE replay buffers are in-memory only; sequence numbers do not survive a restart.
# API and streaming
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-reasoner/api
Fleet Reasoner's FastAPI service: the /seed, /engine, /chat/stream, and /config endpoints, SSE frame shapes, session model, and error mapping.
Fleet Reasoner ships as a FastAPI service in `qlaw/serve.py`. Start it locally:
```bash theme={null}
uv run uvicorn qlaw.serve:app
```
Configuration is set once at startup with `configure_research()` β `dspy.configure` has an owner-thread rule and must not be called inside request handlers. Use `dspy.context` for per-request overrides.
## Endpoints
| Endpoint | Purpose |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `POST /seed` | Inception: prompt β graph with `ROOT` plus the first decomposition layer. |
| `POST /engine` | One step of the reasoning cycle: `(graph, active_node_id, action)` β expanded graph. |
| `POST /chat/stream` | SSE from the Qlaw chat agent (`dspy.streamify`), status events plus a `done` frame with the answer and post-chat graph. |
| `GET /config` | Runtime config: `{"model": "..."}` from `OPENAI_MODEL`. Never credentials. |
## `POST /seed`
```json theme={null}
{ "prompt": "Launch a sustainable fashion brand" }
```
Returns the serialized `GraphState`. Errors map through the DSPy 3.3.0 exception hierarchy (see "Error mapping" below).
## `POST /engine`
```json theme={null}
{
"nodes": { "root": { "...": "..." } },
"root_id": "root",
"active_node_id": "root",
"action": null
}
```
Returns:
```json theme={null}
{
"graph": { "...": "..." },
"lens": "decompose",
"outputs": { "sub_nodes": [ /* ... */ ] }
}
```
`outputs` uses `Prediction.toDict()` β DSPy 3.3.0 has no `Prediction.model_dump()`.
`max_depth` is **not** a request field. It is a constructor argument on `ReasoningEngine` and `ReasoningLoop`.
## `POST /chat/stream`
```json theme={null}
{
"session_id": "",
"nodes": { "root": { "...": "..." } },
"root_id": "root",
"question": "What matters most for the brand-identity component?",
"history": [],
"active_node_id": "root"
}
```
The server maps `session_id` to a bounded, independently locked `QlawChat` in `ChatSessionStore`. Missing or expired entries start a fresh conversation. `history` is used only to bootstrap a fresh instance for HTTP compatibility. Later turns use the instance-owned history.
### SSE frames
```text theme={null}
event: status
data: {"event": "status", "message": "run_lens.start"}
event: done
data: {
"event": "done",
"answer": "...",
"termination_reason": "submit",
"graph": { "...": "..." }
}
```
* Non-`Prediction` yields are `StatusMessage` and stream events. `ChatStatusProvider` turns tool start and end into compact status lines.
* ReActV2 emits its final answer as `submit` tool-call arguments, so token-level streaming of `answer` does not apply. Surface tool activity as `status` events and the complete answer in the `done` frame.
* The `done` frame carries the final graph. Chat tools expand the graph during the agent run, so the client must adopt `done.graph`.
## `GET /config`
Returns `{"model": "..."}` from `OPENAI_MODEL` (default `deepseek-v4-flash`). Credentials are never exposed. The web client reads this to display the active model id.
## Error mapping
DSPy 3.3.0 normalizes LM errors under `dspy.LMError`. Catch subclasses and map:
| Exception | HTTP status |
| --------------------------------- | ----------- |
| `dspy.LMRateLimitError` | `429` |
| `dspy.ContextWindowExceededError` | `413` |
| `dspy.LMError` (base and others) | `502` |
For the streamed `/chat/stream` route, the response has already started when an error occurs mid-stream. `HTTPException` is not an option there β the generator catches the exception and emits:
```json theme={null}
{"event": "error", "status": 429, "message": "Rate limited: ..."}
```
## Streaming configuration
Relevant DSPy settings:
* `dspy.configure(allow_tool_async_sync_conversion=True)` β allow sync tool implementations in async paths.
* `async_max_workers=...` β control async concurrency.
* `dspy.asyncify(fn)` β wrap a sync function for the async path.
`dspy.stream` does **not** exist in 3.3.0. Streaming goes through `dspy.streamify(program, status_message_provider=...)`, which returns an async generator ending with the final `dspy.Prediction`.
# Architecture
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-reasoner/architecture
Qlaw on DSPy 3.3.0 in three tiers: typed lenses over a pydantic graph, one compilable ReasoningEngine module, and a ReActV2 chat agent with lenses as tools.
Qlaw's agents become **typed `dspy.Signature` + `dspy.Module` lenses** over a **pydantic graph state**. The user-driven loop (Selection β Lens Invocation β Expansion) becomes the `forward()` of a single **`ReasoningEngine`** module. The Co-Pilot and the Enrich researcher become **`dspy.ReActV2`** tool agents.
Because everything is a DSPy module, every layer is:
* **Optimizable** β via `MIPROv2`, `BootstrapFewShot`, or GEPA.
* **Evaluable** β via `dspy.Evaluate` with custom metrics.
* **`Refine`-validated** β deterministic reward functions retry until the contract passes.
## Three tiers
| Tier | What | Where |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| 1 β Lenses | One optimizable module per agent: `SemanticInterpreter`, `Decomposer`, `OntologyArchitect`, `TrajectoryStrategist`, `Critic`, `GroundingEnricher`, `Explainer`. | `qlaw/lenses/` |
| 2 β Engine | `ReasoningEngine` + `ReasoningLoop` + `SeedFlow` β Selection β Routing β Invocation β Expansion β Critic gate. | `qlaw/engine.py`, `qlaw/router.py` |
| 3 β Chat | Multi-turn `dspy.ReActV2` agent with lenses as tools (`run_lens`, `add_node`, `inspect_node`, `graph_stats`). | `qlaw/chat.py` |
## DSPy 3.3.0 primitives used
| Concern | DSPy primitive |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Task specification | `dspy.Signature` (docstring = instructions; pydantic-typed fields = output contract) |
| Reasoning step | `dspy.Predict`, `dspy.ChainOfThought` |
| Tool-use loop | `dspy.ReActV2` (native tool calling, reserved `submit`, parallel tool calls) |
| Retry and validation | `dspy.Refine` (3.x replacement for the removed `Assert` / `Suggest`) |
| Program composition | `dspy.Module.forward()` β arbitrary Python control flow is the loop |
| Optimization | `dspy.MIPROv2`, `dspy.BootstrapFewShot`, `dspy.Flex` |
| Evaluation | `dspy.Evaluate` plus custom metrics |
| Program-structure search | `dspy.Flex` (experimental) |
## Layer-to-DSPy mapping
| Qlaw layer (agent) | DSPy primitive | Signature | Output contract |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Inception** (Semantic Interpreter) | `ChainOfThought` | `SemanticInterpretation` | `root_type: Literal[PROBLEM, QUESTION, PLAN, PROJECT]`, `entities: list[str]` |
| **Deconstruct** | `ChainOfThought` + `Refine` | `Decompose` | `sub_nodes: list[SubNode]`, type β |
| **Ontology** | `ChainOfThought` + `Refine` | `Ontology` | `concepts: list[Concept]`, type == `CONCEPT` |
| **Trajectories** | `ChainOfThought` | `Trajectories` | `trajectories: list[Trajectory]`, type == `TRAJECTORY` |
| **Gap Analysis** (Critic) | `ChainOfThought` | `GapAnalysis` | `risks: list[Risk]`, type == `RISK`, `severity: Literal[low, med, high]` |
| **Enrich** (Researcher) | `ReActV2` + search tool | `Enrich` | `intel: Intel{summary, sources, metrics}` |
| **Explainer** | `Predict` | `Explain` | `summary: str` |
| **Co-Pilot** | `ReActV2` + graph/lens tools | `ChatAnswer` | Tools: `run_lens`, `add_node`, `inspect_node`, `graph_stats` |
| **Seed flow** | Composition | β | `SemanticInterpreter β Decomposer` |
| **The loop** | Python control flow in `forward()` | β | `GraphState β GraphState` |
## Domain model
The graph is the typed state that flows through every DSPy module. It has two hard rules:
1. **Expansion is deterministic and pure.** The LM never mutates the graph. It emits a `NodeBatch`, and `GraphState.apply()` does the wiring. The graph delta is ground truth a metric can check.
2. **The LM sees a distilled `NodeContext`, not raw state.** Lenses receive `node.label` and `node.description`. The Co-Pilot gets a graph summary.
The node taxonomy mirrors the frontend's `NodeType`: `ROOT`, `PROBLEM`, `QUESTION`, `PLAN`, `PROJECT`, `COMPONENT`, `TRAJECTORY`, `DATA`, `RISK`, `INSIGHT`, `CONCEPT`, `VISUALIZATION`. Lens output DTOs (`SubNode`, `Concept`, `Trajectory`, `Risk`, `Intel`) each pin a `Literal[NodeType.β¦]` so pydantic coercion enforces the contract at the boundary.
## Model configuration
**One model across all tiers** β `deepseek-v4-flash` via the OpenAI-compatible endpoint, configured once at startup.
| Model | DSPy configuration | Provider |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `deepseek-v4-flash` | `dspy.LM("openai/" + OPENAI_MODEL, api_base=OPENAI_BASE_URL, api_key=OPENAI_API_KEY)` | OpenAI-compatible endpoint |
Set `model_type="chat"` if the endpoint requires it. Any OpenAI-compatible model id can be swapped in via `OPENAI_MODEL`.
## Design decisions
| Concern | Current Qlaw (React app) | Fleet Reasoner (DSPy) |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Prompt per agent | Hand-written system prompt + JSON schema. | Typed `dspy.Signature`; docstring is instructions; pydantic coercion enforces types. |
| Graph mutation | Zustand store, `addNodesAndLinks`. | `GraphState.apply()` β pure, deterministic, testable. |
| Loop | `App.tsx` click handlers. | `ReasoningEngine.forward()` Python control flow. |
| Model selection | Hardcoded per call. | One `dspy.LM` configured at startup (`config.py`); per-scope overrides via `dspy.context`. |
| Feedback | None (Critic is a separate call). | `Refine` retry plus critic gate feeding the loop. |
| Improvement | None. | `MIPROv2` / `BootstrapFewShot` / `Flex` compile + `dspy.Evaluate`. |
| Tool loop | Hand-rolled chat tool dispatch. | `dspy.ReActV2` native tool calling. |
| UI contract | `NodeType` / `QlawNode` JSON. | Identical pydantic contract β the React app keeps its JSON shape via a thin adapter. |
# Chat and tools
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-reasoner/chat
Tier 3 of Fleet Reasoner: the multi-turn Qlaw chat agent built on dspy.ReActV2 with lenses-as-tools, stateful sessions, and graph mutation.
Tier 3 is the Qlaw chat ("God's Eye View") plus its shared tool set. Both the chat agent and the Enrich lens run on **`dspy.ReActV2`** β DSPy 3.3.0's native tool-calling agent: parallel tool calls, a reserved `submit` tool, multi-turn replay of prior calls, and prompt-cache reuse.
## Design
* **Stateful `dspy.History`.** `QlawChat` retains the live `GraphSession`, the `ReActV2` agent, and its `dspy.History` across calls. The optional client `history` list is accepted only to bootstrap a fresh instance for HTTP compatibility. Later turns use the instance-owned history directly.
* **Persistent tools.** Tools are built once as closures over the chat's `GraphSession` (a mutable holder for the current `GraphState`). `dspy.Tool` infers name, description, and schema from the function, and `ReActV2` executes plain callables directly, so the agent never has to serialize the whole graph into a tool argument.
* **The invariant holds.** The LM still never mutates the graph. `run_lens` and `add_node` orchestrate, but every wiring change goes through `GraphState.apply()` (deterministic expansion). A tool error is captured by ReActV2 as a tool result, so the agent can recover.
* **One `dspy.ReActV2` per chat session.** `reset()` creates a new agent and clears history. Calls are serialized because the session and tool-bound graph are mutable. Zero-shot is the supported mode.
## Tools
`make_chat_tools(session, lenses)` in `qlaw/chat.py`:
| Tool | Effect |
| -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `run_lens(node_id, lens)` | Runs a lens on the node, applies its `NodeBatch` via `GraphState.apply()`. Returns what was added β or the `explain` summary or `enrich` intel summary. |
| `add_node(label, type, description, parent_id="active")` | Attaches a `ChatNode` (any `NodeType`) under `active`, `root`, or a specific node id. |
| `inspect_node(node_id)` | Read-only view: label, type, description, intel, parent, children. |
| `graph_stats()` | Read-only node counts per type. |
`ChatNode` (in `qlaw/graph.py`) is the chat's own child DTO. Unlike the lens output contracts (`SubNode`, `Concept`, ...), its `type` spans the full `NodeType` taxonomy. It participates in `NodeBatch.children`, so `apply()` needs no special-casing.
`qlaw/tools.py` keeps only graph-agnostic tools. `search` remains a `NotImplementedError` stub β inject a real implementation via DI: `GroundingEnricher(search_tool=...)`.
## Mapping from the current app
| Current flow (`App.tsx` / `chatSession`) | Fleet Reasoner |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `systemInstruction` "You are Qlaw's Co-Pilotβ¦" plus tools `[addNode]`. | `ChatAnswer` docstring plus `ReActV2` tools (`run_lens`, `add_node`, `inspect_node`, `graph_stats`). |
| `[Current Graph Context]` node summary injected per message. | `graph_summary` input field, built by `GraphState.summary()`. |
| `addNode` function call β `manualAddNode`. | `add_node` tool β `GraphState.apply()` inside the agent run. The serve layer returns the final graph. |
## Session storage on the server
`ChatSessionStore` is a bounded, per-`session_id`, independently locked map of `QlawChat` instances. The browser stores one opaque id per tab in `sessionStorage`; the server maps it to a live agent. Missing or expired entries start a fresh conversation rather than sharing another client's history.
## Streaming to the client
`dspy.streamify(chat, status_message_provider=ChatStatusProvider())` wraps the agent and returns an async generator of events, ending with the final `dspy.Prediction`. ReActV2 emits its final answer as `submit` tool-call arguments, so token-level streaming of `answer` does not apply. `ChatStatusProvider` surfaces tool activity as `status` events, and the complete answer arrives in the `done` frame.
The `done` frame carries the final graph. Chat tools expand the graph during the agent run, so the client must adopt `done.graph` β the request graph may be stale by the time the answer arrives.
See [API and streaming](/fleet-reasoner/api) for the SSE envelope.
# Engine and router
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-reasoner/engine
Tier 2 of Fleet Reasoner: the reasoning cycle as one dspy.Module, covering Selection, Routing, Invocation, Expansion, the Critic gate, and recursion.
Tier 2 is the **whole reasoning cycle composed as one `dspy.Module`**. The current React app drives the loop from `App.tsx` click handlers; here `forward()` is the loop:
```text theme={null}
Selection β Routing β Invocation β Refine-validated Expansion β Critic gate β (Recursion) β Synthesis
```
Every LM call inside `forward()` is a sub-module, so the entire engine is compilable and evaluable as a unit. With `dspy.Flex`, even the loop structure itself can be optimized by GEPA.
## Router
`qlaw/router.py` picks the lens for a given node and decides whether to stop the recursion. Both are DSPy modules; a deterministic heuristic covers the case where no router is configured.
```python theme={null}
import dspy
from qlaw.signatures import LensRouter as LensRouterSignature
from qlaw.signatures import Termination
class LensRouter(dspy.Module):
"""Auto-select the lens from node type + context (model: deepseek-v4-flash).
NOTE: the signature is imported ALIASED β the module class below shadows the
bare name, so `dspy.Predict(LensRouter)` would pass the module class itself
as a signature and break at compile time."""
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.predict = dspy.Predict(LensRouterSignature)
def forward(self, node, **kwargs):
return self.predict(node=node) # Prediction: lens
def default_lens_for(node_type) -> str:
"""Deterministic fallback."""
from qlaw.graph import NodeType
return {
NodeType.PROBLEM: "decompose", NodeType.COMPONENT: "decompose",
NodeType.QUESTION: "ontology", NodeType.PLAN: "trajectories",
NodeType.TRAJECTORY: "critique", NodeType.DATA: "enrich",
}.get(node_type, "explain")
class Terminator(dspy.Module):
"""Decide whether to stop recursion at a node (model: deepseek-v4-flash)."""
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.predict = dspy.Predict(Termination)
def forward(self, node, **kwargs):
return self.predict(node=node) # Prediction: stop (bool)
```
## Reasoning engine
`qlaw/engine.py` composes `ReasoningEngine` + `ReasoningLoop` + `SeedFlow` β the whole cycle as one program.
* `SeedFlow` β the composition `SemanticInterpreter β Decomposer` that produces the initial `ROOT` node plus its first decomposition layer.
* `ReasoningEngine` β one step of the cycle: Selection β Routing β Invocation β Expansion β Critic gate. `lens_batch()` maps every lens output to a `NodeBatch`.
* `ReasoningLoop` β recursion with `Terminator`. `max_depth` is a **constructor argument**, not a request field.
The invariant across all three: **the LM never mutates the graph**. Every lens emits a `NodeBatch`; `GraphState.apply()` does the wiring deterministically.
### One reasoning step
`ReasoningEngine.forward(graph, active_node_id, action=None)` returns a `Prediction` with:
| Field | Purpose |
| --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `graph` | The expanded `GraphState` (post-`apply()`). |
| `lens` | Which lens ran. |
| `outputs` | The lens `Prediction`. Serialize with `Prediction.toDict()` β DSPy 3.3.0 has no `Prediction.model_dump()`. |
## Recursion depth is a constructor argument
`ReasoningLoop.max_depth` and `ReasoningEngine.max_depth` are set at construction time. They are not accepted on the `/engine` request body. This is one of the DSPy 3.3.0 gotchas β see [Gotchas](/fleet-reasoner/gotchas).
## Why the engine is optimizable
Because the whole loop is a single `dspy.Module`:
* `dspy.MIPROv2` or `dspy.BootstrapFewShot` can compile the engine from full-session trajectories in `qlaw/datasets.py::engine_trainset()`.
* `dspy.Evaluate` can score full sessions with any subset of the six metrics in `qlaw/metrics.py`.
* `dspy.Flex` (experimental) starts from a signature, not a composed module. A future signature-first rewrite of the loop can be optimizer-authored inside a `CodeInterpreter` sandbox.
# Gotchas
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-reasoner/gotchas
DSPy 3.3.0 pitfalls that cost time: retired assertions, model-string form, optimizer API shape, module conventions, streaming, and caching.
Distilled from the DSPy 3.3.0 research and verified against the installed package. Each item will cost real time if ignored.
## Assertions are gone β use `dspy.Refine`
`dspy.Assert`, `dspy.Suggest`, `dspy.constrain`, and `dspy.SoftAssert` **do not exist** in 3.x. There is also **no `dspy.BestofN`** in 3.3.0. The replacement is:
```python theme={null}
dspy.Refine(module, N, reward_fn, threshold)
```
Do not port assertion code.
## Model string
`deepseek-v4-flash` is addressed as `openai/deepseek-v4-flash` via the OpenAI-compatible endpoint β the same pattern DSPy uses for SGLang and local servers. `api_base` is required. Set `model_type="chat"` if the endpoint needs it.
Fleet Reasoner uses the repository's existing `OPENAI_*` environment variables (`OPENAI_MODEL`, `OPENAI_BASE_URL`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`). The old `INKLING_*` and `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` conventions are gone. One model serves every tier.
If you ever switch to Gemini: the prefix is `gemini/`, not `google/`. A bare string silently defaults to Vertex AI and fails without GCP credentials. `vertex_ai/` is the GCP variant; use `vertex_project` and `vertex_location` β `project` and `location` are silently ignored.
## Optimizer API shape
* The metric goes on the **constructor**: `dspy.MIPROv2(metric=...)`, `dspy.BootstrapFewShot(metric=...)`.
* `trainset=` is **keyword-only** at `compile()` β `train_set=` fails with `TypeError`.
* `MIPROv2(auto="light"|"medium"|"heavy")` cannot be combined with explicit `num_candidates` or `num_trials` β that raises `ValueError`.
* `compile()` returns a **new copy**; the student is not mutated.
## Module conventions
* **No `dspy.Program` class.** `dspy.Module` is the base. Call `module(...)` or `module.acall(...)`, **never** `module.forward(...)` β that bypasses tracing and emits a deprecation warning.
* `super().__init__()` is **mandatory** (metaclass-enforced).
* **Never read `dspy.settings` in `__init__`.** Read it inside `forward()` so `dspy.context` overrides apply.
* Sub-module registration is attribute assignment (`self.predict = ...`). Only `dspy.Parameter` attributes are optimizer-visible.
* `Predict` and `ChainOfThought` accept **keyword args only** β `predict("q")` raises `ValueError`.
## Evaluation contract
* `dspy.Evaluate` calls the metric as `metric(example, prediction)` β exactly two positional args. `trace` is populated by optimizers, never by `Evaluate`.
* `EvaluationResult.score` is a **0β100 percentage**, not 0β1.
* Every devset example **must call `.with_inputs(...)`** or `program(**example.inputs())` crashes.
* Metric return: `bool`, `float`, or `dspy.Prediction(score, feedback)`. Feedback is read only by GEPA.
## Tools and retrieval
* `dspy.Tool` needs **valid type hints**. The docstring is the description; the type hints are the arg schema.
* `ReAct` and `ReActV2` **dedupe tools by name** β collisions silently overwrite. Keep names unique.
* `dspy.Retrieve` reads `dspy.settings.rm` **at call time**. `dspy.configure(rm=...)` first, or it raises `AssertionError("No RM is loaded.")`.
* Async tools need `acall()` or `dspy.configure(allow_tool_async_sync_conversion=True)`.
## 3.3.0-specific
* **`dspy.ReActV2` is experimental** and its prompt format differs from `ReAct` β reserved `submit` tool, `dspy.ToolCalls`, `termination_reason`. Fleet Reasoner uses it as the default with `ReAct` as a documented fallback.
* **`dspy.Flex` is experimental** and starts from a **signature**, not a composed `dspy.Module`. It runs optimizer-authored code in a `CodeInterpreter` sandbox. Because `ReasoningEngine` is a hand-structured module, `Flex` only applies to a future signature-first rewrite of the loop.
* **NumPy is optional** β install `dspy[numpy]` if any metric or visual code imports numpy.
* **Image / Audio / File constructors no longer do I/O.** Use `Image.from_path(path)` or `Image.from_url(url)`. `Image(path)` and `Image(url, download=True)` are gone. `Image.from_file()` and `from_PIL()` are deprecated aliases and are removed in 3.4.
* **GEPA result shapes changed** with `gepa[dspy]==0.1.1`: `candidates` are compiled modules, `best_candidate` returns a module, and `val_subscores` is keyed by validation instance id.
* **LM errors are normalized.** Catch `dspy.LMError` and its subclasses β `LMRateLimitError`, `ContextWindowExceededError`, `LMUnsupportedModelError`, `LMTimeoutError` β not provider-specific exceptions.
* **Typed LM boundary** (`dspy.LMRequest` / `dspy.LMResponse`, opt-in via `dspy.context(experimental=True)`) targets custom LM authors β irrelevant until you replace the built-in OpenAI-compatible provider.
## Streaming
* **`dspy.stream` does not exist in 3.3.0.** The streaming surface is `dspy.streamify(program, ...)` in `dspy.streaming`. It wraps any program and returns a callable whose result is an async generator of events, ending with the final `dspy.Prediction`.
* ReActV2 emits its final answer as `submit` tool-call arguments, so token-level streaming of `answer` does not apply. Surface tool activity as `status` events and the complete answer in the `done` frame.
* LM errors raised inside the stream are caught in the generator and emitted as `{"event": "error", "status": 429|413|502}` frames. The response has already started, so `HTTPException` is not an option mid-stream.
## Caching and concurrency
* **LM caching is ON by default.** Pass a unique `rollout_id` plus a non-zero temperature to force fresh calls. This is critical for `Refine` sampling.
* **`dspy.configure` has an owner-thread rule.** Configure once at startup and use `dspy.context` in request handlers and worker threads.
* **Save and load.** `program.save(path)` (state only) or `program.save(dir, save_program=True)` + `dspy.load(dir)`. `allow_pickle` defaults to `False`. API keys are never serialized.
# Introduction to Fleet Reasoner
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-reasoner/introduction
Fleet Reasoner re-implements Qlaw's reasoning engine on DSPy 3.3.0 with typed lenses over a pydantic graph and a compilable ReasoningEngine module.
Fleet Reasoner (`qlaw-dspy`) is the Qlaw reasoning engine re-implemented on **DSPy 3.3.0** as a compilable, evaluable program. Qlaw's agents become typed `dspy.Signature` + `dspy.Module` lenses over a pydantic graph state. The reasoning cycle is the `forward()` of a single `ReasoningEngine` module, and the Co-Pilot and Enrich researcher are `dspy.ReActV2` tool agents. Because everything is a DSPy module, every layer is optimizable (MIPROv2 / BootstrapFewShot / GEPA), evaluable (`dspy.Evaluate`), and `Refine`-validated.
## Three tiers
| Tier | What | Where |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| 1 β Lenses | One optimizable module per agent: `SemanticInterpreter`, `Decomposer`, `OntologyArchitect`, `TrajectoryStrategist`, `Critic`, `GroundingEnricher`, `Explainer`. | `qlaw/lenses/` |
| 2 β Engine | `ReasoningEngine` + `ReasoningLoop` + `SeedFlow` β Selection β Routing β Invocation β Expansion β Critic gate. | `qlaw/engine.py`, `qlaw/router.py` |
| 3 β Chat | Multi-turn `dspy.ReActV2` agent with lenses-as-tools (`run_lens`, `add_node`, `inspect_node`, `graph_stats`). | `qlaw/chat.py` |
## Key facts from DSPy 3.3.0
* **`dspy.ReActV2`** β native tool calling, reserved `submit` tool, parallel tool calls, and prompt-cache reuse. Used for the Co-Pilot and Enrich agents.
* **`dspy.Flex`** β GEPA can discover the engine's structure itself, as an optional upgrade path for the loop.
* **Assertions retired.** `dspy.Assert`, `Suggest`, `constrain`, and `SoftAssert` are removed in 3.x. Validation is done through `dspy.Refine`.
* **One model everywhere:** `deepseek-v4-flash` addressed as `openai/` via the OpenAI-compatible endpoint (`OPENAI_BASE_URL` / `OPENAI_API_KEY` / `OPENAI_MODEL`).
* **API conventions:** metric on the optimizer constructor, `trainset=` keyword-only, `module(...)` not `module.forward(...)`, `super().__init__()` mandatory.
* **3.3.0 breaking changes handled:** numpy optional (`dspy[numpy]`), GEPA result shapes, `dspy.LMError` normalization.
## Layout
* `qlaw/graph.py` β pure pydantic graph state (`GraphState`, `NodeContext`, `NodeBatch`, lens DTOs). `apply()` is deterministic β the LM never mutates the graph.
* `qlaw/signatures.py` β 10 typed signatures (7 lenses + router, termination, chat).
* `qlaw/lenses/` β one `dspy.Module` per agent, `Refine`-validated via the reward functions in `_validators.py`.
* `qlaw/router.py` β `LensRouter`, `Terminator`, and the deterministic `default_lens_for()` fallback.
* `qlaw/engine.py` β `ReasoningEngine` + `ReasoningLoop` + `SeedFlow`; `lens_batch()` maps every lens output to a `NodeBatch`.
* `qlaw/chat.py` β multi-turn Qlaw chat: stateful `GraphSession`, `make_chat_tools()`, SSE status provider.
* `qlaw/tools.py` β pluggable `search` tool (a `NotImplementedError` stub; inject a real backend via DI).
* `qlaw/config.py` β one model across all tiers: `deepseek_flash()` + startup `configure_research()`.
* `qlaw/datasets.py` β per-lens and engine trainsets and devsets (30 examples per lens, train/val/test split).
* `qlaw/metrics.py` β taxonomy adherence, node validity, conciseness, novelty, coverage, grounding.
* `qlaw/optimize.py` β compile pipeline (`compile_lens` / `compile_engine` / `load_program`).
* `qlaw/evaluate.py` β `dspy.Evaluate` harness, writes `eval_results.json`.
* `qlaw/omni.py` β GEPA "omni" meta-optimizer composition (`optimize_omni`, `optimize_parallel`, ...).
* `qlaw/serve.py` β FastAPI + SSE server.
* `scripts/` β CLIs: `compile.py`, `evaluate.py`, `optimize_lenses.py` (plus the `optimize` wrapper).
* `web/` β tldraw frontend (React 19 + Tailwind 4).
## Setup
```bash theme={null}
uv sync --extra dev # pytest / ruff / mypy; add --extra numpy for MIPROv2
cp .env.example .env # OPENAI_BASE_URL / OPENAI_API_KEY / OPENAI_MODEL
```
Nothing auto-loads `.env`. Run LM-hitting commands with `uv run --env-file .env`. One model is used across all tiers: `deepseek-v4-flash` via the OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Any OpenAI-compatible model id works via `OPENAI_MODEL`.
## Commands
```bash theme={null}
uv run python -m scripts.compile --optimizer mipro # compile lenses + engine into artifacts/
uv run python -m scripts.evaluate # eval harness on devsets -> eval_results.json
uv run uvicorn qlaw.serve:app # API + SSE
uv run pytest -q # all tests (no API key needed)
uv run ruff check . && uv run mypy qlaw # lint + typecheck
```
For bounded GEPA prompt optimization of the core lenses (default strategy `--strategy omni` β explore all engines on a small slice, continue from the validation winner), use the wrapper:
```bash theme={null}
./scripts/optimize --lens decompose --strategy omni --engines gepa --max-evals 44
```
The wrapper installs the unreleased gepa OA API at run time (DSPy pins gepa 0.1.1). By default the `gepa` engine's proposals and evaluation both use the `.env` model β pass `--codex-model` to switch to the native Codex agent proposer.
## API
* `POST /seed` β prompt β graph with ROOT plus first decomposition layer.
* `POST /engine` β one reasoning step: `(graph, active_node_id, action)` β expanded graph.
* `POST /chat/stream` β SSE: status and tool events, then `done` with the answer plus post-chat graph.
* `GET /config` β the active model id (no credentials) for the web client.
Two DSPy 3.3.0 gotchas: `/engine` `outputs` use `Prediction.toDict()` (no `model_dump()` in DSPy 3.3.0), and `max_depth` is a **constructor** argument, not a request field.
## Web frontend
The tldraw canvas sits over the engine: `web/src/state/graphStore.ts` (zustand) holds the canonical `GraphState`, and `web/src/canvas/sync.ts` is the only writer of qlaw shapes and arrows. `web/src/api/client.ts` is the fetch + SSE client.
```bash theme={null}
cd web && pnpm install
pnpm dev # http://localhost:5173
pnpm exec tsc --noEmit && pnpm exec vitest run
```
Set `VITE_API_BASE` in `web/.env.local` if the API port differs from `http://localhost:8000`.
## Testing
The stub-LM strategy needs no API key: `tests/helpers.py` provides a `StubLM` that returns canned JSON responses, proving signatures coerce, `Refine` loops, and `ReActV2` submits. Build responses with `field_response(...)` (ChatAdapter format). Every output field must be present, including `reasoning` (ChainOfThought adds it).

# Lenses
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-reasoner/lenses
Tier 1 of Fleet Reasoner: one optimizable dspy.Module per agent, Refine-validated with deterministic reward functions where the app's constraints matter.
Tier 1 of the architecture is **one optimizable `dspy.Module` per agent**. Each lens wraps a signature. Where the app's constraints matter (3β5 children, valid taxonomy types, non-empty labels), the lens is wrapped in **`dspy.Refine`** β the 3.x replacement for the removed `Assert` / `Suggest`. `Refine` retries with auto-generated feedback (`hint_` field) until a deterministic reward function passes.
## The lens set
Package: `qlaw/lenses/`.
```python theme={null}
from qlaw.lenses.semantic import SemanticInterpreter
from qlaw.lenses.decompose import Decomposer
from qlaw.lenses.ontology import OntologyArchitect
from qlaw.lenses.trajectories import TrajectoryStrategist
from qlaw.lenses.critic import Critic
from qlaw.lenses.enrich import GroundingEnricher
from qlaw.lenses.explain import Explainer
```
| Lens | Signature | Predictor | Wrapped in `Refine`? |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `SemanticInterpreter` | `SemanticInterpretation` | `ChainOfThought` | No |
| `Decomposer` | `Decompose` | `ChainOfThought` | Yes β `validate_decompose` |
| `OntologyArchitect` | `Ontology` | `ChainOfThought` | Yes β `validate_ontology` |
| `TrajectoryStrategist` | `Trajectories` | `ChainOfThought` | No |
| `Critic` | `GapAnalysis` | `ChainOfThought` | No |
| `GroundingEnricher` | `Enrich` | `ReActV2` + `search` tool | No (agentic loop) |
| `Explainer` | `Explain` | `Predict` | No |
## Deterministic rewards for `Refine`
Reward functions live in `qlaw/lenses/_validators.py` and return `0.0` or `1.0`. They enforce the app's structural contract β item count, non-empty labels, allowed types β without an LM in the loop.
```python theme={null}
from qlaw.graph import NodeType
ALLOWED_DECOMPOSE_TYPES = {NodeType.COMPONENT, NodeType.QUESTION, NodeType.DATA}
ALLOWED_ONTOLOGY_TYPES = {NodeType.CONCEPT}
def _basic_batch_reward(kwargs, outputs, *, allowed_types, min_items=3, max_items=5):
items = outputs.sub_nodes if hasattr(outputs, "sub_nodes") else outputs.concepts
if not items: return 0.0
if not (min_items <= len(items) <= max_items): return 0.0
if any(not (getattr(i, "label", "") or "").strip() for i in items): return 0.0
if any(not (getattr(i, "description", "") or "").strip() for i in items): return 0.0
if any(getattr(i, "type", None) not in allowed_types for i in items): return 0.0
return 1.0
def validate_decompose(kwargs, outputs) -> float:
return _basic_batch_reward(kwargs, outputs, allowed_types=ALLOWED_DECOMPOSE_TYPES)
def validate_ontology(kwargs, outputs) -> float:
return _basic_batch_reward(kwargs, outputs, allowed_types=ALLOWED_ONTOLOGY_TYPES)
```
## Example lens: SemanticInterpreter
```python theme={null}
import dspy
from qlaw.signatures import SemanticInterpretation
class SemanticInterpreter(dspy.Module):
"""Prompt -> root seed. Replaces analyzePrompt(); model: deepseek-v4-flash."""
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.predict = dspy.ChainOfThought(SemanticInterpretation)
def forward(self, prompt: str, **kwargs):
return self.predict(prompt=prompt) # Prediction: root_label, root_type, intent, entities
```
## Example lens: Decomposer (Refine-validated)
```python theme={null}
import dspy
from qlaw.signatures import Decompose
from qlaw.lenses._validators import validate_decompose
class Decomposer(dspy.Module):
"""Break a node into 3-5 parts. Replaces decomposeNode(); model: deepseek-v4-flash.
Refine enforces the 3-5 / valid-type contract with retry + feedback."""
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.predict = dspy.ChainOfThought(Decompose)
self.refined = dspy.Refine(self.predict, N=3, reward_fn=validate_decompose, threshold=0.5)
def forward(self, node, **kwargs):
return self.refined(node=node) # Prediction: sub_nodes
```
## Signatures
Every lens ships with a typed `dspy.Signature`. Signatures live in `qlaw/signatures.py` and use pydantic fields for the output contract. The docstring is the instructions; the input and output fields are the schema. Output DTOs (`SubNode`, `Concept`, `Trajectory`, `Risk`, `Intel`) pin `Literal[NodeType.β¦]` so coercion enforces the type discipline at the boundary.
## Why lenses are optimizable
Because each lens is a `dspy.Module` with a `Signature`, it can be:
* **Compiled** with `dspy.MIPROv2` or `dspy.BootstrapFewShot` from a per-lens trainset.
* **Evaluated** with `dspy.Evaluate` on the matching devset in `qlaw/datasets.py`.
* **Scored** with the six metrics in `qlaw/metrics.py`: taxonomy adherence, node validity, conciseness, novelty, coverage, and grounding.
* **Loaded** back into the engine after compile, replacing the zero-shot module in-place.
See [Optimization and evaluation](/fleet-reasoner/optimization) for the compile pipeline.
# Optimization and evaluation
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-reasoner/optimization
Compile Fleet Reasoner's lenses and engine with MIPROv2, BootstrapFewShot, or bounded GEPA, then evaluate with dspy.Evaluate and per-lens metrics.
`qlaw/optimize.py`, `qlaw/evaluate.py`, `qlaw/datasets.py`, and `qlaw/metrics.py` provide compilation, measurement, and bounded GEPA instruction optimization.
**Strategy:** measure each lens first, optimize its instruction text with held-out evidence, then cascade into whole-engine compilation. Per-lens trainsets are built from the existing `GRAPH_TEMPLATES` plus hand-authored examples. The engine trains on full-session trajectories.
## Datasets
`qlaw/datasets.py` builds per-lens and engine trainsets and devsets. Every example calls `.with_inputs(...)` β otherwise `program(**example.inputs())` crashes at evaluation time.
```python theme={null}
def decompose_trainset(n: int = 20) -> list[dspy.Example]:
"""Hand-authored + template-derived (NodeContext, list[SubNode]) pairs."""
def ontology_trainset(n: int = 20) -> list[dspy.Example]:
"""(node, list[Concept]) pairs β e.g. Quantum Computing -> Qubit / Superposition / Entanglement."""
def engine_trainset(n: int = 10) -> list[dspy.Example]:
"""Full-session trajectories: (graph, active_node_id, action) -> expected graph."""
def devsets() -> dict[str, list[dspy.Example]]:
"""Held-out devsets per lens for evaluate.py β never the trainsets."""
```
30 examples per lens, split train / val / test.
## Metrics
`qlaw/metrics.py` provides six metrics. `dspy.Evaluate` calls a metric as `metric(example, prediction)` β exactly two positional args. Optimizers may pass `trace`, `pred_name`, and `pred_trace` too, so declare defaults.
| Metric | Checks |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `taxonomy_adherence` | Output DTOs pin the right `NodeType` literal. |
| `node_validity` | Non-empty labels, item counts in 3-5 where required, valid types. |
| `conciseness` | Descriptions stay bounded; labels stay short. |
| `novelty` | Batches introduce distinct children rather than paraphrases. |
| `coverage` | Expected concepts, sub-nodes, or trajectories are present. |
| `grounding` | Enrichment intel includes non-empty sources and metrics. |
Return values from a metric may be `bool`, `float`, or `dspy.Prediction(score, feedback)`. Feedback is read only by GEPA. `dspy.Evaluate` reports `EvaluationResult.score` as a **0β100 percentage**, not 0β1.
## Compile pipeline
`qlaw/optimize.py`:
```python theme={null}
from qlaw.optimize import compile_lens, compile_engine, load_program
# One lens
compiled = compile_lens("decompose", optimizer="mipro")
# Whole engine (uses engine_trainset)
compiled = compile_engine(optimizer="mipro")
# Load a previously compiled artifact
program = load_program("artifacts/engine.mipro.json")
```
Optimizer conventions to keep in mind:
* The metric goes on the optimizer **constructor** β `dspy.MIPROv2(metric=...)`, `dspy.BootstrapFewShot(metric=...)`.
* `trainset=` is **keyword-only** at `compile()` β `train_set=` fails with `TypeError`.
* `MIPROv2(auto="light"|"medium"|"heavy")` cannot be combined with explicit `num_candidates` or `num_trials` β that raises `ValueError`.
* `compile()` returns a **new copy**; the student is not mutated.
## Command-line entrypoints
```bash theme={null}
uv run python -m scripts.compile --optimizer mipro # compile lenses + engine into artifacts/
uv run python -m scripts.evaluate # eval harness on devsets -> eval_results.json
```
`scripts/evaluate.py` writes `eval_results.json` alongside `artifacts/`.
## Bounded GEPA instruction optimization
For bounded GEPA prompt optimization of the core lenses, use the wrapper:
```bash theme={null}
./scripts/optimize --lens decompose --strategy omni --engines gepa --max-evals 44
```
The default strategy is `--strategy omni` β explore all engines on a small slice, continue from the validation winner. The wrapper installs the unreleased gepa OA API at run time (DSPy pins gepa 0.1.1).
By default, both the `gepa` engine's proposals and evaluation use the `.env` model. Pass `--codex-model` to switch to the native Codex agent proposer.
## GEPA "omni" meta-optimizer
`qlaw/omni.py` composes GEPA into an "omni" meta-optimizer at the DSPy layer, distinct from β but conceptually similar to β the [GEPA Omni](/gepa-omni/introduction) plugin. `optimize_omni` and `optimize_parallel` orchestrate GEPA across lenses.
## Caching and rollout ids
DSPy caches LM calls **on** by default. For `Refine` sampling to actually sample fresh, pass a unique `rollout_id` and a non-zero temperature. Otherwise the same cached response is returned across attempts.
## Save and load
* `program.save(path)` β state only.
* `program.save(dir, save_program=True)` + `dspy.load(dir)` β full program.
* `allow_pickle` defaults to `False`. API keys are never serialized.
# Fleet Reasoner quickstart
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-reasoner/quickstart
Install Fleet Reasoner with uv, configure the OpenAI-compatible endpoint, run the FastAPI and SSE server, and open the tldraw web frontend.
Get the Qlaw reasoning engine running locally in a few minutes.
## Prerequisites
* Python 3.10 or newer.
* [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for dependency management.
* Node.js and `pnpm` for the tldraw web frontend.
* An OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint and API key.
## 1. Install
```bash theme={null}
uv sync --extra dev # pytest / ruff / mypy; add --extra numpy for MIPROv2
cp .env.example .env # OPENAI_BASE_URL / OPENAI_API_KEY / OPENAI_MODEL
```
Nothing auto-loads `.env`. Run any LM-hitting command with `uv run --env-file .env`.
Fleet Reasoner uses one model across all tiers: `deepseek-v4-flash` by default, addressed as `openai/` through the OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Any OpenAI-compatible model id works via `OPENAI_MODEL`.
## 2. Verify without an API key
Stub-LM tests exercise every signature, `Refine` loop, and ReActV2 submission without needing credentials:
```bash theme={null}
uv run pytest -q
```
`tests/helpers.py` provides `StubLM` and `field_response(...)`. Every output field must be present in a stubbed response, including `reasoning` (ChainOfThought adds it).
## 3. Serve the engine
```bash theme={null}
uv run uvicorn qlaw.serve:app
```
The FastAPI service exposes:
* `POST /seed` β prompt β graph with `ROOT` plus the first decomposition layer.
* `POST /engine` β one reasoning step: `(graph, active_node_id, action)` β expanded graph.
* `POST /chat/stream` β SSE: status and tool events, then a `done` event with the answer and post-chat graph.
* `GET /config` β the active model id (no credentials) for the web client.
## 4. Run the web frontend
```bash theme={null}
cd web
pnpm install
pnpm dev # http://localhost:5173
pnpm exec tsc --noEmit && pnpm exec vitest run
```
`web/src/state/graphStore.ts` (zustand) holds the canonical `GraphState`, and `web/src/canvas/sync.ts` is the only writer of qlaw shapes and arrows. Set `VITE_API_BASE` in `web/.env.local` if the API port differs from `http://localhost:8000`.
## 5. Compile and evaluate
The compile pipeline turns the zero-shot engine into optimized artifacts under `artifacts/`:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python -m scripts.compile --optimizer mipro # compile lenses + engine
uv run python -m scripts.evaluate # eval harness -> eval_results.json
uv run ruff check . && uv run mypy qlaw # lint + typecheck
```
For bounded GEPA prompt optimization of the core lenses (default strategy `--strategy omni` β explore all engines on a small slice, continue from the validation winner), use the wrapper:
```bash theme={null}
./scripts/optimize --lens decompose --strategy omni --engines gepa --max-evals 44
```
The wrapper installs the unreleased gepa OA API at run time (DSPy pins gepa 0.1.1). The `gepa` engine's proposals and evaluation both use the `.env` model by default. Pass `--codex-model` to switch to the native Codex agent proposer.

# Agent model
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/concepts/agent-model
How fleet-rlm keeps one resident native dspy.RLM per Session, composes bounded Signatures with committed History, and walks the delegation ladder.
fleet-rlm has no persistent Agent object, but a Session keeps one resident native `dspy.RLM` and one caller-owned interpreter across sequential clean Turns, driven by `RLMRunner` at `src/fleet_rlm/rlm/runtime.py`. Each Turn still gets a fresh `REPLHistory`, fresh budgets, and fresh capability bindings, sees a bounded slice of context plus the committed Session conversation, and decides its next step against a fixed delegation ladder.
## One resident RLM per Session
`RLMRunner` executes each Turn on the Session's resident `dspy.RLM`, keyed by the Workspace-plus-Session scope. There is no long-lived Agent, no ReAct wrapper, and no ambient AgentRuntime state. An unchanged program fingerprint reuses the resident runtime, and a tainted or incompatible runtime rotates before the next Turn. Turn orchestration lives in `PreparedTurn` at `src/fleet_rlm/chat/preparation.py` and `TurnRuntime` at `src/fleet_rlm/chat/turn_runtime.py`.
The runner composes three inputs before it calls `dspy.RLM.acall()`:
1. A Signature describing the Turn's input and output contract.
2. A default instruction fragment set assembled from `src/fleet_rlm/rlm/program.py`.
3. A fixed core Tool inventory plus `load_skill` and `read_skill_resource`.
Custom Skill Signatures keep their existing JSON-compatible common input annotations. The default Signature uses strict local Pydantic DTOs, and conversion plus JSON serialization happen once immediately before the native call.
## Bounded Signature
Every Signature receives the user request text, the complete committed Session conversation as a `dspy.History` input with one `{"request": ..., "answer": ...}` record per committed Turn, a bounded `session_context`, bounded `skill_cards`, and bounded Attachment metadata. The bounded recent previews in `session_context` and the `read_session_history` Tool remain as compatible navigation surfaces, but the `dspy.History` input is the canonical conversation.
```python theme={null}
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
import dspy
class SessionContext(BaseModel):
workspace_id: str
recent_turn_digest: str = Field(max_length=4000)
memory_digest: str = Field(max_length=2000)
class SkillCard(BaseModel):
id: str
version: str
summary: str = Field(max_length=400)
class AttachmentRef(BaseModel):
attachment_id: str
kind: str
byte_size: int
class RootTurnSignature(dspy.Signature):
"""Fleet Root default Signature (illustrative)."""
request: str = dspy.InputField()
history: dspy.History = dspy.InputField()
session_context: SessionContext = dspy.InputField()
skill_cards: list[SkillCard] = dspy.InputField()
attachments: list[AttachmentRef] = dspy.InputField()
answer: str = dspy.OutputField()
```
## Instruction composition
`src/fleet_rlm/rlm/program.py` owns the default Fleet Root instruction fragments. The runner composes:
* The base Root fragment.
* REPL guidance for Python execution.
* Tool inventory guidance for the fixed core Tools.
* Optional recursion guidance when the profile enables `rlm_query` and `rlm_query_batched`.
* Verification guidance for evidence review before `SUBMIT`.
* Bounded-context guidance for `session_context`, `skill_cards`, and Attachments.
Disabling recursion drops the recursion fragment from composition. It no longer requires deleting text from a monolithic Signature docstring.
## Root delegation ladder
The Root selects the cheapest sufficient step for each subproblem. Higher rungs cost more and see more.
| Rung | Step | When to use |
| ---- | ---------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | Python in the interpreter | Deterministic work: parsing, slicing, arithmetic, file walks. |
| 2 | `llm_query` or `llm_query_batched` | Semantic work that fits current context. No new RLM. |
| 3 | `rlm_query` | One iterative isolated subproblem in a native child harness. |
| 4 | `rlm_query_batched` (Root-only) | Ordered, bounded sibling fan-out. Root verifies and synthesizes before `SUBMIT`. |
The Root always verifies and synthesizes evidence from rung 4 before it emits `SUBMIT`.
## Skills and progressive disclosure
The bundled Skill catalog is `dspy-rlm`, `long-context`, `workspace-files`, `data-analysis`, and `report-builder`. Only bounded Skill Cards appear at startup. A full `SKILL.md` loads only when the RLM invokes `load_skill` or when the card is exactly preselected. Declared resources load only after the Skill body.
Without explicit selections the RLM sees the full bundled catalog and may load up to four advertised Skills during the Turn. Explicit `skill_selections` accept up to four unique entries of `{id, expected_version}`. Selections advertise, preload, and restrict the Turn to authorized cards. Selections fold into the Turn idempotency fingerprint.
Only `data-analysis` supplies a custom validated DSPy Signature. `report-builder` and `dspy-rlm` are instruction-only. At most one selected Skill may provide a validated DSPy Signature.
Skill Markdown and resources cannot register host Tools. Runtime composition owns the fixed core Tools plus exactly `load_skill` and `read_skill_resource`.
## Recursive children
`RLM_NATIVE_CHILD_DEPTH = 1` is a fixed product invariant. It is not an editable policy value. Recursion is one native level deep.
The shipped `daytona-recursive` profile enables recursion. Set `rlm.recursion_enabled = false` in the profile to disable it. When enabled, each child receives:
* A fresh Daytona Sandbox with ordinary Daytona egress.
* The same Volume ID mounted at `recursive///`.
* No access to the Root `workspaces/` mount.
* No Fleet Tools and no host credentials.
Strict cleanup purges child scope and deletes the child Sandbox before the Root success can commit. Sibling concurrency is bounded by `recursion_max_parallel_children`, which defaults to `5`.
See [Recursive RLM](/fleet-rlm/concepts/recursive-rlm) for the full child lifecycle.
## Autonomous memory (opt-in)
`rlm.autonomous_memory_categories = []` is the default. When the allowlist is empty the runtime omits `propose_memory` from the Root Tool inventory entirely.
A non-empty allowlist enables a Root-only, Run-scoped candidate collector. Promotion runs post-commit on a best-effort basis. Promotion is never exactly-once, and callers should treat it as advisory.
## Configuration
Model, provider, token, and recursion policy all live in `config/fleet.toml` under the selected profile. Models come from provider-service references, not from environment variables like `DSPY_LM_MODEL`.
| Setting | Location | Notes |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Root and Sub model | Profile in `config/fleet.toml` | The committed policy uses `databricks-deepseek-v4-flash-0731` for both roles. |
| Provider credentials | OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions | Committed defaults use the Databricks Unity AI Gateway endpoint (`DATABRICKS_TOKEN`, `FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL`). Point `api_key_env` / `base_url_env` at other variables to use OpenAI or another compatible provider. |
| Recursion policy | Profile | `daytona-recursive` enables `rlm_query` and `rlm_query_batched`. |
| Sibling parallelism | Profile | `recursion_max_parallel_children`, default `5`. |
| Autonomous memory allowlist | Profile | `rlm.autonomous_memory_categories`. |
See [Configuration](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration) for the full profile schema.

# fleet-rlm architecture
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/concepts/architecture
How fleet-rlm layers a FastAPI SSE transport, a Turn runtime, one resident native dspy.RLM per Session, and a Daytona interpreter into one pipeline.
fleet-rlm is a Daytona-backed native `dspy.RLM` runtime with a FastAPI SSE transport in front of it. The backend is a thin coordination shell. Each Session holds one resident native `dspy.RLM` and one caller-owned interpreter, reused across sequential clean Turns, and every observable behavior traces back to that pairing.
The client surface is the pi-tui terminal client at `tools/fleet-tui/`, launched by [`fleet cli`](/fleet-rlm/reference/cli). There is no WebSocket execution surface, no SPA, and no `/api/v1` prefix in the current codebase.

```
The Run coordination lane is the live center. Transport, persistence, and Skills all attach to it, and none of them replace it.
## Runtime flow of one turn
1. The client posts to `POST /api/sessions/{session_id}/turns` with an `Idempotency-Key` header.
2. The transport resolves a deterministic local scope and validates the Turn input.
3. Attachment ownership and exact Skill selection are validated before any Run work begins.
4. `TurnRuntime` opens the SSE stream and coordinates heartbeat, terminal ordering, and cleanup.
5. `RunLifecycle.begin()` performs an atomic Run claim or a replay of an already-settled Run.
6. `DefaultRunPreparer.prepare()` assembles context, tools, and environment resources into a `PreparedTurn`.
7. `RLMRunner` executes the Turn on the Session's resident native `dspy.RLM` and interpreter, creating them on first use.
8. Runtime Events stream from the native trajectory, the interpreter, and the host-tool boundaries.
9. `RunLifecycle.finish()` validates the typed result and the private snapshot, promotes Artifact Candidate bytes on Daytona only, and commits Turn, Run, Checkpoint, and Artifact atomically or settles the failure.
10. The Run emits any `artifact.created*` events and then exactly one `run.completed` terminal event.
11. `TurnRuntime` runs cleanup. A clean Turn leaves the Session-scoped lease resident for the next Turn. A tainted Turn rotates to a fresh interpreter and Sandbox first.
Exactly one `run.completed` terminal event is emitted per Run. Terminal ordering is owned by `TurnRuntime` and is not the responsibility of the runner or the lifecycle.
## Root delegation ladder
Delegation inside one Run is a fixed four-step ladder:
1. **Python** β deterministic work inside the interpreter context.
2. **Native `llm_query` / `llm_query_batched`** β semantic work at the native boundary.
3. **`rlm_query`** β one iterative isolated subproblem.
4. **Root-only `rlm_query_batched`** β ordered independent child RLMs.
Recursive children remain one native level deep. `RLM_NATIVE_CHILD_DEPTH = 1` is a fixed product invariant, not a tunable policy value. Fleet reserves the shared recursive budget atomically and controls sibling concurrency through `recursion_max_parallel_children`. See [Recursive RLM](/fleet-rlm/concepts/recursive-rlm) for the child scheduling contract.
## Layers in detail
### FastAPI transport β `src/fleet_rlm/api/`
`create_app()` in `src/fleet_rlm/app.py` builds the FastAPI app and eagerly constructs the immutable bundled Skill catalog. The lifespan validates settings and installs exactly one complete Daytona runtime inventory. The transport does not contain business logic.
| File | Role |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `src/fleet_rlm/app.py` | App factory, lifespan, Skill catalog construction, Daytona inventory install |
| `api/routes/*` | REST routes including the Turn submission endpoint |
| `api/sse.py` | Validates each projected `RuntimeEvent` frame at the SSE boundary |
| `api/ui_stream.py` | Owns the typed discriminated live Fleet UI chunk union |
| `api/openapi.py` | Derives OpenAPI from the same models used by SSE and UI stream |
| `api/dependencies.py` | Shared request-scoped dependencies |
### Turn coordination β `src/fleet_rlm/chat/`
The chat package owns the per-Turn lifecycle. `TurnRuntime` sequences claim and replay, checkpoint History, capabilities, execution, streaming, validation, commit, finalization, and post-commit work under one ownership model with one terminal settlement. `RunLifecycle` owns the Run claim, the private result snapshot, Artifact publication, atomic Turn Commit, and post-commit Memory promotion. Memory promotion is bounded and settled before the Run lease is released.
| File | Role |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `chat/turn_runtime.py` | `TurnRuntime` β SSE stream, heartbeat, execution, terminal ordering, cleanup |
| `chat/run_lifecycle.py` | Atomic Run claim, replay, finish, artifact promotion, Memory settlement |
| `chat/preparation.py` | `PreparedTurn` and `DefaultRunPreparer` β context, tools, environment resources |

### Native RLM runner β `src/fleet_rlm/rlm/`
`RLMRunner` executes each Run on the Session's resident native `dspy.RLM` and caller-owned interpreter, held in the Session RLM registry. Sequential clean Turns in the same Workspace-plus-Session scope reuse that runtime, so ordinary Python globals persist while it stays healthy and compatible. Failure, cancellation, timeout, claim loss, commit failure, authorization failure, or uncertain settlement taints the runtime, and Fleet rotates to a fresh interpreter and Sandbox before the next Turn, rehydrating only durable state.

### Daytona substrate β `src/fleet_rlm/daytona/`
Daytona owns provisioning, lifecycle, filesystem, and Workspace operations through one process-owned `AsyncDaytona`. Workspace storage in `src/fleet_rlm/workspace/storage.py` scopes each grouped I/O to one ephemeral Sandbox that is deleted before the context exits, and it is the only transport edge to the workspace agent client. Workspace Memory semantics live in `src/fleet_rlm/workspace/memory.py`.

### Composition β `src/fleet_rlm/composition/`
Composition modules assemble runtime inventories. The lifespan installs the production Daytona-backed inventory from `composition/live.py`, and tests import the testing composition explicitly.

| `persistence/repositories/sandbox_bindings.py` | Sandbox binding records |
### Sessions and assistant parts β `src/fleet_rlm/sessions/`
`sessions/assistant_parts.py` owns the closed Pydantic `AssistantPart` vocabulary for durable assistant content. Any new assistant content shape lives here first.

# Daytona runtime
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/concepts/daytona-runtime
How fleet-rlm uses one process-owned AsyncDaytona client, Session-scoped Root leases, and scoped Volume mounts to run every Turn on Daytona.
Daytona is the only Run Environment for `fleet-rlm`. The canonical set is `daytona`. A Session holds its Root Sandbox and caller-owned interpreter under a Session-scoped lease and reuses them across sequential clean Turns. Grouped I/O still mounts a Workspace Volume Scope on an ephemeral Sandbox. A tainted or incompatible runtime rotates to a fresh Sandbox before the next Turn starts. This page is the deep cut on how that runtime is shaped. For the higher-level layering, see [Architecture](/fleet-rlm/concepts/architecture).
## One process-owned AsyncDaytona
The process owns a single `AsyncDaytona` client. It owns provisioning, Sandbox lifecycle, filesystem calls, and Workspace operations, and every path through the runtime is native async.
The only synchronous seam is DSPy's `CodeInterpreter.execute()`. That seam receives an explicit, allowlisted async-to-sync view of a small set of interpreter methods, and it blocks only the DSPy worker thread. No other collaborator gets sync access to the client.
You should treat `AsyncDaytona` as a process-lifetime resource. It is not per-Turn, per-Run, or per-Session.
## Provisioning and snapshot policy
Every Sandbox boots from a base snapshot named by `[defaults.daytona] snapshot`. The current default is `fleet-rlm-python313-v5`. Recursive delegations bootstrap from the same snapshot, which lets them skip the per-run image pull.
Build or refresh the snapshot with the CLI:
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet-rlm daytona-snapshot
uv run fleet-rlm daytona-snapshot --refresh
```
Verify the snapshot exists with `make daytona-snapshot-check`. Diagnostics for the full runtime path live under `uv run fleet doctor daytona` and are described below.
Provisioning code lives in `src/fleet_rlm/daytona/provisioning.py`. The SDK boundary itself is in `src/fleet_rlm/daytona/broker.py`.
## Volume policy
The runtime provisions exactly one Daytona Volume per configured deployment, and every Sandbox mounts it at a fixed path.
| Setting | Default | Purpose |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `[defaults.daytona] snapshot` | `fleet-rlm-python313-v5` | Base snapshot for Sandbox provisioning. |
| `[defaults.daytona] volume_name` | `fleet-volume` | Daytona Volume ID mounted on every Sandbox. |
| `[defaults.daytona] volume_mount_path` | `/home/daytona/fleet` | Absolute mount path inside every Sandbox. |
| `[defaults.daytona] api_key_env` | `FLEET_DAYTONA_API_KEY` | Name of the env var that carries the Daytona API key. |
The API URL and target are not configured through Fleet env vars. They come from the Daytona SDK defaults or the Daytona profile you have selected on the host.
See [Configuration](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration) for the full `[defaults.daytona]` reference.
## Workspace Volume Scope
Workspace storage in `src/fleet_rlm/workspace/storage.py` opens a Workspace Volume Scope. Its only transport edge is the Daytona workspace agent client. Each grouped I/O operation is scoped to one ephemeral Sandbox, and that Sandbox is deleted before the context exits.
Storage only provisions namespaces it owns. Everything else on the Volume is off-limits.
```text theme={null}
/
βββ workspaces// # Root Session scope
β βββ memory/ # MEMORIES.md and Workspace Memory state
β βββ projects//
β βββ sessions//
β βββ runs//
βββ attachments/ # Shared, staged for referenced Runs
βββ artifacts/ # Shared, verified Run outputs
βββ recursive////
# Private sibling scope per recursive child
```
Bundled Skills stay host-owned. They are not copied into the Volume.
Recursive child scopes are siblings of `workspaces/`. A recursive child cannot reach the Root `workspaces/` mount, even though both scopes share the same underlying Volume ID.
## Session-scoped Root leases
A healthy Session holds one Root Sandbox and one caller-owned interpreter under a Session-scoped lease, keyed by the Workspace-plus-Session scope. Sequential clean Turns in that scope reuse the same interpreter, so ordinary Python globals such as variables, imports, and helper functions persist while the runtime stays healthy, compatible, and resident.
Failure, cancellation, timeout, claim loss, commit failure, authorization failure, or uncertain settlement taints the resident runtime. Before the next Turn, Fleet closes the tainted runtime, acquires a fresh interpreter and a fresh Root Sandbox, confirms the old Sandbox is gone, and rehydrates only durable state: committed History, the Session Workspace, Workspace Memory, Attachments, and Artifacts.
A healthy program-fingerprint change, for example a Skill-instruction or Tool-schema change, is a program rotation instead. Fleet builds a new Root RLM and program while handing off the existing caller-owned interpreter and Root Sandbox. Idle eviction and process or Sandbox replacement follow the same durable-only rule: arbitrary Python globals may be lost, durable state never is. If Daytona replaces the underlying Sandbox, the runtime remounts the Workspace Volume Scope, but Python globals are not preserved across that replacement.
### Session pre-warm
`POST /api/sessions` schedules a best-effort background pre-warm: Fleet acquires a Root Sandbox, applies the canonical Volume layout, persists the Session binding, and releases the lease while the Sandbox stays running. When the first Turn arrives, it reuses the bound Sandbox instead of paying creation and layout cost, so the first-Turn sandbox path typically drops from around 8-10 seconds to around 2 seconds. The pre-warm is invisible to the API contract: the create response is unchanged, a Turn that arrives mid-pre-warm waits out the pre-warm claim within its deadline, a Turn that claims first makes the pre-warm yield, and a failed pre-warm leaves the first Turn acquiring normally.
The following runtime settings bound lease behavior:
| Setting | Default | Effect |
| ----------------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `runtime.max_active_daytona_leases` | `8` | Upper bound on concurrent Interpreter Leases. |
| `runtime.turn_timeout_seconds` | `1800` | Wall-clock bound on a single Turn. |
| `runtime.heartbeat_seconds` | `10` | Cadence of transient `data-status` chunks during a Turn. |
| `runtime.stale_after_seconds` | `60` | Liveness bound on heartbeat before a Lease is treated as stale. |
The interpreter facade lives in `src/fleet_rlm/daytona/interpreter.py`. Session lifecycle around a lease lives in `src/fleet_rlm/daytona/session_manager.py`. Lease and rotation mechanics live in `src/fleet_rlm/daytona/lifecycle.py` and `src/fleet_rlm/daytona/sandbox_lease.py`.
## Recursive child Sandboxes
Recursive delegations run through `src/fleet_rlm/daytona/recursive_child_runtime.py` under the `daytona-recursive` runtime label. Each child receives a fresh, dedicated Daytona Sandbox with ordinary Daytona network egress.
The child mounts the same Volume ID at `recursive///`. That is a private sibling scope. It cannot reach the Root `workspaces/` mount. The child receives no Fleet Tools and no credentials.
Cleanup is strict. Scope purge and Sandbox deletion both happen before the Root success can commit. A recursive child cannot leak state into the Root scope, and a Root Run cannot commit success while a child Sandbox is still alive.
For the delegation contract itself, see [Recursive RLM](/fleet-rlm/concepts/recursive-rlm).
## Attachments and Artifacts
Attachment bytes are written to the Workspace Volume Scope before their metadata, and they are staged for the Runs that reference them. That ordering means metadata never points at bytes that are not yet on disk.
Artifact Candidates remain private Run outputs until two conditions hold: verified bytes have reached UUID-unique durable paths, and their metadata commits with the Turn. Failed metadata commits may leave GC-eligible orphan bytes on the Volume, but they never leave public rows.
## Workspace files API
The `/api/files*` endpoints always resolve the process-local Workspace. Callers cannot select a Workspace, and they cannot address a Daytona Volume, mount, Sandbox, Attachment, Artifact, Session, or Run identifier through this API.
The API offers bounded list and read pagination, append, in-place unique fragment edits, whole-file replacement, and strict delete. Writes, appends, edits, and deletes accept optional SHA-256 preconditions. The runtime never follows symlinks, holds a target lock across the operation, and revalidates the target inode across I/O Sandboxes.
The workspace agent package `src/fleet_rlm/daytona/workspace_agent/` services `/api/files*`, fronted by `src/fleet_rlm/workspace/storage.py`. Endpoint shapes are in [HTTP API](/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api).
## Workspace Memory
Workspace Memory is a single fixed file, `MEMORIES.md`, at `memory/` under the mounted `workspaces/` Volume subpath. The RLM Tools that operate on it are `read_workspace_memory`, `remember`, `list_memories`, `search_memories`, `edit_memory`, and `forget`.
Each Turn also receives a bounded `workspace_memory` tail digest in `session_context`. The digest is capped at 4 KiB. It gives the model a small, always-fresh window over recent memory without forcing a Tool call. Memory Tool wiring lives in `src/fleet_rlm/workspace/memory.py`.
For persistence guarantees around Memory across Sessions, see [Sessions and persistence](/fleet-rlm/concepts/sessions-persistence).
## Volume tree endpoint
`GET /api/volume/tree` returns a bounded, read-only view of the relative paths inside the mounted Workspace Volume. It is a process-local logical view. It is not a general-purpose Sandbox filesystem browser, and it does not accept Sandbox or Volume identifiers.
## Diagnostics
Validate the full runtime path with the doctor command:
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet doctor daytona
```
The command validates the required settings, database connectivity and Alembic head, provider authentication, Volume visibility, scoped mounting, and interpreter execution. It creates exactly one uniquely labelled disposable Sandbox and deletes it in `finally`. It creates no Fleet domain rows. Output is limited to bounded categories and corrective actions.
There is no `fleet-rlm daytona-smoke` command. `fleet doctor daytona` replaces it. There is also no `POST /api/v1/runtime/tests/daytona` endpoint.

# fleet-rlm glossary
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/concepts/glossary
Definitions for the state and execution terms in fleet-rlm: Sessions, Turns, Runs, Claims, Runtime Events, Interpreter Leases, and Workspace Memory.
These terms describe the state and execution contracts used across `fleet-rlm`. For the data relationships behind them, see [Sessions and persistence](/fleet-rlm/concepts/sessions-persistence) and the [architecture overview](/fleet-rlm/concepts/architecture).
| Term | Meaning |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **User** | The deterministic local actor namespace. Fleet installs one process-local scope with fixed ids; there is no multi-user identity model. |
| **Workspace** | The tenant boundary that owns Sessions, Attachments, Artifacts, Skills, files, Projects, and Memory. |
| **Session** | A durable conversation container with ordered committed Turns and a checkpoint version. |
| **Turn** | One user input and its eventual assistant result. A Turn advances history only after durable commit. |
| **Run** | One execution attempt for a Turn. It carries the idempotency key, claim, heartbeat, cancellation state, and outcome. |
| **Claim** | A lease-like ownership record that prevents two workers from executing the same live Run. |
| **Checkpoint** | The Session history version used to bind a Run. Commit increments it atomically. |
| **PreparedTurn** | The preparation value containing validated inputs, capabilities, history, and acquired resources for one Run. |
| **Runtime Event** | A typed, transport-neutral event such as `run.started`, `rlm.reasoning`, `tool.completed`, or `status`. |
| **Prelude chunk** | A transient `data-status` SSE chunk emitted while a Turn is being claimed and prepared. It is not durable history. |
| **RLM** | DSPy's Recursive Language Model program. Fleet invokes native `dspy.RLM` directly. |
| **Native iteration** | One DSPy RLM action/REPL step. It is separate from Fleet recursive delegation depth. |
| **Semantic LM call** | A native RLM `llm_query` or `llm_query_batched` operation counted against the native LM-call budget. |
| **Recursive child** | A fresh iterative RLM invoked through `rlm_query` or Root-only `rlm_query_batched`. Direct children run at native depth one. |
| **Sub-LM fallback** | A bounded semantic query used when a child cannot create another native recursive Sandbox. |
| **Interpreter Lease** | The ownership handle that keeps a Daytona Interpreter available through execution and finalization. |
| **Workspace Volume** | The mounted Daytona storage boundary for Attachments, Artifacts, files, Projects, and Memory. |
| **Skill Card** | Bounded discoverable metadata for a Skill. Full instructions and resources load progressively through host-mediated Tools. |
| **Attachment** | A durable user-provided input with metadata and private bytes. |
| **Artifact Candidate** | A private output created during a Run. It becomes a public Artifact only after validation and successful Turn Commit. |
| **Workspace Memory** | Explicit user-directed state stored in `memory/MEMORIES.md`, separate from Session history. |
| **Taint** | A runtime condition that prevents safe reuse, causing the resident Session runtime or provider resources to rotate. |
| **Canonical stream** | The closed public SSE vocabulary and terminal ordering consumed by the pi-tui client. |
# Observability
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/concepts/observability
How fleet-rlm projects Runtime Events to bounded MLflow spans, streams typed SSE chunks, records cancellation tombstones, and exposes health and doctor probes.
`fleet-rlm` treats observability as a first-class runtime concern. Every public Runtime Event is projected as a bounded child span on the active Turn trace, streamed to clients as a typed SSE chunk, and captured in committed history. The live view, the reconciled view, and the committed view stay aligned.
This page describes what you see, where it comes from, and how it is bounded. For the environment names and profile bindings, see [Configuration](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration).
## Surfaces at a glance
| Surface | Purpose | Where to look |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| MLflow tracing | Two `fleet_turn` root spans per Turn (preparation and execution), with bounded child spans for every Runtime Event | Local `fleet-rlm` experiment or an optional Databricks destination |
| SSE stream | Live typed Runtime Events for the pi-tui timeline and web UI | `POST /api/sessions/{session_id}/turns` |
| Backend logs | Timestamped backend and MLflow process logs | `.fleet_rlm/logs/` |
| Health probes | Liveness and readiness for supervisors and load balancers | `GET /health`, `GET /health/ready` |
| Doctor | Bounded environment probe for Daytona profiles | `uv run fleet doctor daytona` |
## Runtime Event projection
The centralized `EventRecorder` in `src/fleet_rlm/observability/tracing.py` projects every typed public Runtime Event as a `Turn.progress.` child span under the active Turn trace. The projection covers:
* RLM reasoning summaries.
* Generated code.
* Interpreter output.
* Tool inputs and Tool outputs.
* Status and progress events.
* Structured results.
* Streamed text.
* The committed final answer.
The projection never exports hidden provider chain-of-thought or arbitrary callback payloads. Child DSPy spans below Runtime Events remain structural only, even when the selected Root trace policy allows bounded readable previews on the Turn span.
## Turn trace phases
A successfully prepared Turn with tracing enabled opens two `fleet_turn` root spans instead of one. Each root is tagged with `fleet.trace_phase`:
* `preparation` covers deterministic scope resolution, ownership checks, environment acquisition, bounded context assembly, and Tool construction.
* `execution` covers the native `dspy.RLM` trajectory, Runtime Event projection, and commit or failure settlement.
The execution root additionally carries `fleet.preparation_trace_id`, a one-way link back to the preparation root so you can pivot from the execution timeline to the setup work that produced it. Preparation roots never reference the execution trace.
Only the execution trace id surfaces on the Turn response when `mlflow.expose_trace_id` is `true`. Preparation trace ids stay inside MLflow and are not exposed on SSE. Filter on `fleet.trace_phase = "execution"` in MLflow to see only the trajectories your clients can deep-link to.
A failed preparation leaves only the preparation root; the execution root is never opened. Disabled tracing records neither root.
## Token usage reporting
Delegation metrics report a `token_usage_status` field so a provider that omits usage cannot surface misleading all-zero token totals:
* `observed` β at least one LM call returned normalized token fields (prompt, completion, cache aliases). Aggregate token counts are trustworthy.
* `unavailable` β no LM call reported normalized token fields. Aggregate token counts are meaningless and should be ignored.
The field appears on the execution trace outputs alongside `delegation_metrics` and `observed_lm_usage`. Cost-only or cache-flag-only usage reports still count as `unavailable`; cache-token aliases count as `observed`. Use `token_usage_status` before charting or alerting on token totals so a silent provider does not read as a Turn with zero token use.
## SSE Runtime Event categories
Clients subscribe to Runtime Events through the SSE stream on `POST /api/sessions/{session_id}/turns`. The pi-tui timeline and the web UI both render the same categories:
* `data-status` for transient preparation, heartbeat, and cancelled parts.
* Reasoning parts, code parts, and output text or delta parts.
* Tool invocation views with bounded allowlisted metadata. No learning bodies, no provider paths, and no raw error strings are surfaced.
* `data-usage` for the turn-level usage summary.
* `artifact.created*` chunks that precede the terminal `run.completed`.
* `finish` followed by `[DONE]` on a normal terminal.
* `abort` as the only chunk after cancellation. There is no `finish`, no `data-usage`, and no checkpoint metadata after it.
See [HTTP and SSE API](/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api) for the exact chunk schema.
## Cancellation observability
A cancelled attempt closes the live SSE stream with a single `abort` chunk. After settlement, Fleet writes a bounded tombstone to committed history so `GET /api/sessions/{session_id}/turns` still shows the attempt. The tombstone contains:
* The original user input.
* One assistant message carrying only a `cancelled` `data-status` part.
* Observed usage.
* The closed text `Turn cancelled`.
Cancelled tombstones never contain reasoning, code, output, or Tool evidence parts. The MLflow trace for the cancelled Turn is bounded the same way.
## MLflow policy
Trace policy lives in the `[mlflow]` section of `config/fleet.toml`. This is non-secret TOML policy, not environment configuration. Ambient environment variables cannot override sampling or content bounds.
| Field | Default | Purpose |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `mlflow.tracing_enabled` | Enabled in the shipped profile | Master switch for the tracing pipeline on a profile. |
| `mlflow.async_logging` | `true` | Keeps trace export off the Turn critical path. |
| `mlflow.trace_sampling_ratio` | `1.0` | Fraction of Turns exported to MLflow. `MLFLOW_TRACE_SAMPLING_RATIO` cannot override this. |
| `mlflow.trace_content_max_chars` | `10000` | Bounds each readable field: prompts, reasoning, generated code, tool payloads, and responses. |
| `mlflow.expose_trace_id` | `true` | Surfaces the execution trace id on the Turn response for client-side deep links. Preparation trace ids never surface on SSE. |
`mlflow.trace_content_mode = "safe"` is removed. `fleet.toml` files that still set the key fail validation with an unknown-key error. Delete the key. Trace content is always readable up to `mlflow.trace_content_max_chars`, and the export boundary continues to protect credentials, connection strings, private paths, and system-prompt dumps.
Fleet enables MLflow DSPy inference autologging for the selected experiment. Compile and evaluator traces stay disabled so live Turn observability is not disturbed by offline optimization runs.
FastAPI lifespan owns one explicit tracing startup attempt and one shutdown flush. Application construction performs no external MLflow probe, so an unavailable setup marks that lifespan inactive rather than poisoning later lifespans.
## Tracking destinations by profile
The tracking target follows the selected profile.
| Profile | Tracking URI | Notes |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `daytona-recursive` (shipped) | `http://127.0.0.1:5001` | Local `fleet-rlm` experiment. `fleet cli` supervises the MLflow server. |
For the shipped profile, `fleet cli` starts or reuses the local MLflow server. It checks that `GET /version` matches the installed MLflow, runs one worker, keeps SQLite metadata under `.fleet_rlm/mlflow/mlflow.db`, and writes artifacts to `.fleet_rlm/mlflow/artifacts`. It never stops a reused process.
Databricks-hosted tracing is available through local policy. Declare `mlflow.tracking_uri = "databricks"` together with the `experiment_name_env`, `trace_catalog_env`, `trace_schema_env`, `trace_table_prefix_env`, and `tracing_sql_warehouse_id_env` references in a local profile. The `FLEET_MLFLOW_*` variables are read only when a profile declares them:
* `FLEET_MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME`
* `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_CATALOG`
* `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_SCHEMA`
* `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_TABLE_PREFIX`
* `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACING_SQL_WAREHOUSE_ID`
Standalone `fleet web` and `fleet-rlm serve-api` do not supervise a local MLflow server. Start the configured tracking server separately before serving Turns that need to be traced. See [CLI](/fleet-rlm/reference/cli) for the supervised startup contract.
## Workspace Memory degradation
Workspace Memory preparation is fail-soft. A Turn proceeds even when Volume storage, the mounted Workspace agent, or Memory search degrades, because Memory context is optional. To keep those fallbacks visible without leaking payloads, each degraded read-side operation emits exactly one bounded, sanitized diagnostic.
You see the same five fields in two places:
* A `WARNING` log line from the `fleet_rlm.daytona.memory_diagnostics` logger.
* `fleet.memory_degradation.*` attributes on the active `fleet_turn` MLflow span, when tracing is enabled by the selected profile.
The log line uses this shape:
```text theme={null}
Workspace Memory degraded: category= operation= runtime= cause_type= outcome=
```
Diagnostics carry only those five fields. Memory contents, search queries, file paths, exception messages, and environment values are never attached, and emission is one record per degraded operation.
| Field | Values |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `category` | `normalization`, `provider_unavailable`, `corrupt_record_set`, `invariant_violation`, `search_failure`, `legacy_migration`, `unexpected_internal` |
| `operation` | `normalize_query`, `relevance_search`, `injection_digest` |
| `runtime` | The active Daytona runtime label from the selected profile |
| `cause_type` | Exception class name, without message or stack |
| `outcome` | `recency_only_digest` or `no_memory_injection` |
Degradation observability only covers the optional read-side preparation. Memory mutations (`remember`, `edit_memory`, `forget`) and `list_memories` stay strict: they still fail closed on duplicate ids, invalid records, or unavailable storage, and surface through the normal Tool error path with `unavailable`, `full`, or `invalid_*` codes.
## Backend logs
Backend and owned MLflow process output land in timestamped files under `.fleet_rlm/logs/`. Two symlinks point to the active files:
* `.fleet_rlm/logs/latest.log` for the backend.
* `.fleet_rlm/logs/mlflow-latest.log` for the supervised MLflow server.
The `rlm.verbose` setting controls native DSPy host logs only. It does not control the typed Runtime Events projected through SSE or the terminal client. If you need more detail in the timeline, adjust the event projection, not `rlm.verbose`.
## Health probes
Two unauthenticated probes report process status:
* `GET /health` returns liveness: the process is serving HTTP, with no dependency checks. It answers even before startup composition completes.
* `GET /health/ready` returns readiness: startup composition installed and the configured database answers one `SELECT 1` round-trip. Before composition, or when a configured database is unreachable, it returns `503` with the closed `service_not_ready` error envelope.
## Doctor diagnostics
`uv run fleet doctor daytona` runs a bounded environment probe for the Daytona profiles. It checks:
* Settings loading and profile resolution.
* Database connectivity and Alembic head alignment.
* Provider authentication for the selected models.
* Volume visibility for the configured Workspace Volume.
* Scoped mounting of that Volume.
* Interpreter execution inside a disposable Sandbox.
Doctor creates one uniquely labelled disposable Sandbox and deletes it in `finally`. It creates no Fleet domain rows, prints only bounded diagnostic categories, and points to corrective actions when a check fails.

# fleet-rlm core concepts
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/concepts/overview
How fleet-rlm runs a session-scoped resident dspy.RLM over Daytona Sandboxes, streams typed Runtime Events over SSE, and persists committed Turn history.
`fleet-rlm` is an RLM-native backend. A Session reuses one native `dspy.RLM`, one caller-owned interpreter, and one Root Sandbox with a workspace-scoped durable Volume across sequential clean Turns. It streams typed Runtime Events over Server-Sent Events and atomically commits each Turn's result to Postgres. Tainted or incompatible runtimes rotate before the next Turn.
## One Session, one resident RLM
`TurnRuntime` validates the deterministic local scope, Attachments, and exact Skill selections before opening SSE, and owns Turn preparation, execution, streaming, validation, commit, and finalization. `RLMRunner` runs the Turn over the resident Session `dspy.RLM`, and `RunLifecycle.finish()` owns result snapshot handling, Artifact publication, and atomic Turn Commit. `TurnRuntime` projects the terminal suffix and cleans up Run resources.
The Root uses Python, native Sub-LM queries, or isolated child RLMs according to a cheapest-sufficient delegation ladder. Recursive children remain one native level deep. Root-only `rlm_query_batched` provides ordered, bounded sibling fan-out, and the Root verifies and synthesizes their evidence before `SUBMIT`.
See [Recursive RLM](/fleet-rlm/concepts/recursive-rlm) for the full delegation flow.
## Daytona-backed execution
Daytona holds the Root Sandbox and interpreter under a Session lease and reuses them across clean Turns in the Workspace Volume Scope. Each Turn receives a bounded newest-record digest of Workspace Memory in its `session_context`; the full `memory/MEMORIES.md` log remains behind the host-mediated Memory Tools. The RLM may append a record only when the user explicitly asks to remember something.
Memory is immediate workspace state, not Session History or a Turn-commit record, and survives failed Runs and Sandbox replacement. Every Root Turn receives the complete committed Session conversation as a `dspy.History` input; the bounded previews in `session_context` and the `read_session_history` Tool remain as compatible navigation surfaces.
See [Daytona runtime](/fleet-rlm/concepts/daytona-runtime) for lifecycle and Volume Scope details.
## Runtime surfaces
Fleet ships a backend and a maintained terminal client. There is no Fleet-shipped web UI.
| Surface | Command |
| ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Supervised backend + pi-tui | `uv run fleet cli` |
| Backend only | `uv run fleet web` or `uv run fleet-rlm serve-api` |
| Standalone pi-tui against a running backend | `pnpm --dir tools/fleet-tui start -- [options]` |
All launchers default to `127.0.0.1` and reject non-loopback binds unless `--allow-non-loopback-bind` is passed. See the [CLI reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/cli).
## Policy-driven configuration
Non-secret runtime policy lives in `config/fleet.toml`. `[config] default_profile` selects the shipped `daytona-recursive` profile, the only committed profile. Policy is strict, resolved once at process startup, and takes effect only after restart. Only the environment variables named by the selected profile are read.
Fleet uses one deterministic local User and Workspace scope. It accepts no `Authorization` header or caller-supplied identity headers. The `/api/settings` endpoint is a separate loopback-only administration surface. See the [configuration reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration) for the full policy structure.
## Observability
Every typed Runtime Event is projected as a bounded `Turn.progress.` child span through the centralized `EventRecorder`. This includes RLM reasoning summaries, generated code, interpreter output, tool inputs and outputs, status and progress events, structured results, streamed text, and the committed final answer. Live, reconciled, and committed events remain aligned. It does not export hidden provider chain-of-thought or arbitrary callback payloads.
The shipped profile routes traces to the local MLflow experiment at `http://127.0.0.1:5001`; the supervised `fleet cli` command starts or reuses that server. Databricks-hosted tracing is available by declaring `mlflow.tracking_uri = "databricks"` and the managed `*_env` references in a local profile.
See [Observability](/fleet-rlm/concepts/observability) for the full trace contract.

# Recursive RLM delegation
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/concepts/recursive-rlm
How a Session reuses one resident native dspy.RLM across sequential clean Turns, walks the cheapest-sufficient ladder, and isolates one native child level.
A Session's Root Turns share one resident native `dspy.RLM` and one caller-owned interpreter across sequential clean Turns in the same Workspace-plus-Session scope. The Root RLM executes inside a Daytona Sandbox whose Python interpreter context persists across RLM iterations within a Run and across clean Turns while the runtime stays healthy and compatible. A tainted or incompatible runtime rotates before the next Turn, and native child RLMs stay fully isolated in their own runtimes.
This page describes how the Root Turn decides what to do next, when it delegates to a native child RLM, and the fixed one-level recursion boundary that keeps the tree shallow and auditable.
## One Session, one resident Root RLM
A Turn maps to a single invocation of the Session's resident native `dspy.RLM`. The Root RLM works iteratively inside its Sandbox: it writes Python, inspects results, and refines its plan until it emits `SUBMIT`. Interpreter state is reused across those iterations so variables from an earlier step remain available in the next one, and ordinary Python globals may persist across sequential clean Turns while the runtime stays healthy, compatible, and resident. Each Turn still starts with a fresh DSPy `REPLHistory`, fresh iteration and LLM-call budgets, and fresh capability bindings. Replacing a Sandbox remounts the Workspace Volume Scope but does not preserve Python globals, so long-lived REPL state only survives while the same resident Sandbox does.
`RLMRunner` in `src/fleet_rlm/rlm/runtime.py` executes Turns on the Session's resident RLM, and instruction fragments plus Signatures live in `src/fleet_rlm/rlm/program.py`.
## The cheapest-sufficient ladder
Inside the Root RLM, you pick the cheapest option that still solves the sub-problem. Only escalate when the previous rung is insufficient.
```mermaid theme={null}
flowchart TD
Root["Root RLM (one Turn)"] --> Py["1. Python in the interpreter
deterministic, in-process"]
Py --> LLM["2. Native llm_query / llm_query_batched
semantic work, no new RLM"]
LLM --> One["3. rlm_query(prompt=...)
one isolated child RLM"]
One --> Many["4. rlm_query_batched (Root only)
ordered independent child RLMs"]
Many --> Verify["Root verifies and synthesizes
child evidence"]
Verify --> Submit["SUBMIT"]
```
1. **Python.** Prefer deterministic work directly in the interpreter context.
2. **Native `llm_query` / `llm_query_batched`.** Use these when you need a language model, but not a new recursive agent. No child RLM is spawned.
3. **`rlm_query(prompt=prompt)`.** Delegate one iterative isolated subproblem to a native child harness. Use this when the subproblem needs its own tool-using agent loop.
4. **Root-only `rlm_query_batched`.** Fan out ordered, independent child RLMs when you can decompose a task into siblings that do not depend on each other. Only the Root may open this rung. After siblings return, the Root verifies their evidence and synthesizes an answer before `SUBMIT`.
Children return bounded evidence, not final answers. Final synthesis is always the Root's job.
## One native child level, no deeper
The recursive child boundary is a fixed product invariant, not a knob:
```
RLM_NATIVE_CHILD_DEPTH = 1
```
Only the Root may open a native child RLM, and that child may not open another. Policies that still set `rlm.recursion_max_depth` fail startup validation. This keeps traces shallow, budgets predictable, and cleanup deterministic.
Dispatch, ordered sibling fan-out, and bounds for the single child rung live in `src/fleet_rlm/rlm/recursion.py`, and the child Sandbox lifecycle lives in `src/fleet_rlm/daytona/recursive_child_runtime.py`.
## Child isolation under `daytona-recursive`
Under the `daytona-recursive` profile, each child RLM runs in its own dedicated Daytona Sandbox with strict boundaries:
* Fresh, dedicated Daytona Sandbox per child, distinct from the Root Sandbox.
* Ordinary Daytona network egress, the same as any Sandbox.
* The same Volume ID mounted at `recursive///`. This private sibling scope cannot reach the Root `workspaces/` mount, so a child cannot read or overwrite Root workspace state.
* No Fleet Tools and no credentials are exposed to the child.
* Strict cleanup: the child's scope is purged and its Sandbox is deleted before Root success can commit. If cleanup fails, the Root Turn does not report success.
The default `daytona` profile keeps recursion disabled. Enable one child level by switching to the `daytona-recursive` profile.
### Immutable Session snapshot
Each delegated child receives an immutable Session snapshot: the delegated prompt, the current user request, a committed `dspy.History` snapshot, bounded Session context with the authorized capability view, and the forked Root/Sub model policy. Fleet materializes and copies this snapshot at Turn preparation, so later conversation mutation cannot leak into a child. Children never observe the live Root interpreter or mutable Root state, and every child gets its own fresh RLM, interpreter, Sandbox, and `REPLHistory`.
## Recursion bounds
All recursion bounds live in the `[rlm]` section of `config/fleet.toml`. Fleet reserves the shared recursive budget atomically before starting a child, so parallel children cannot double-count against the same allowance.
| Key | Purpose |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `recursion_enabled` | Enable one native child level. Default `daytona` profile keeps it off; `daytona-recursive` turns it on. |
| `recursion_max_calls` | Maximum number of native child queries the Root may issue per Turn. |
| `recursion_max_prompt_chars` | Cap on the prompt characters passed to each child. |
| `recursion_child_max_iters` | Iteration cap inside each child RLM. |
| `recursion_child_max_llm_calls` | Semantic LM call cap inside each child. |
| `recursion_child_max_output_chars` | Output character cap returned from each child. |
| `recursion_max_parallel_children` | Maximum concurrent independent child RLMs. Defaults to `2`. |
See the [configuration reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration) for the surrounding `[rlm]` keys and profile wiring.
## Root synthesis, not child answers
Batched siblings return evidence: extracted facts, structured findings, or scoped conclusions. The Root then verifies that evidence against the original goal and synthesizes the final response before emitting `SUBMIT`. This keeps children small, replaceable, and auditable, and it keeps final answers grounded in Root-side reasoning that has full Turn context.
The verification and bounded-context expectations are encoded as instruction fragments in `src/fleet_rlm/rlm/program.py` alongside the base, REPL, tool, and optional recursion fragments.
## REPL variable mode and large inputs
Native `dspy.RLM` in DSPy 3.3.x uses the `SandboxSerializable` contract to hold large inputs as REPL variables inside the child's persistent Python interpreter context. Those variables are not injected into the model prompt; the RLM works with them programmatically, only surfacing the fragments it needs.
This is upstream DSPy behavior, so fleet-rlm does not maintain wrapper code for large-input handling. You benefit from it automatically when you pass large context objects that implement the contract.
## Interpreter reuse within a Session
Within one Run, interpreter calls reuse a single context so Python state persists across RLM iterations in the Root Sandbox. That same caller-owned interpreter now persists across sequential clean Turns of the same Session, so Root Python state carries forward while the runtime stays healthy and compatible. Child RLMs each get their own interpreter context in their own Sandbox, and that context is discarded when the child is deleted. A tainted or rotated Root runtime starts a fresh interpreter in a fresh Root Sandbox and rehydrates only durable state.
Daytona runtime wiring for both Root and recursive-child paths lives in `src/fleet_rlm/composition/live.py`.

# Sessions and persistence
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/concepts/sessions-persistence
Three persistence layers: Alembic-managed Postgres for committed history, Daytona Volume Scope for durable state, and the session-scoped resident interpreter.
Fleet separates persistence into three layers with distinct lifetimes and authorities. The commit boundary is a single durable event: `POST /api/sessions/{session_id}/turns` streams a Turn attempt, and only a successful commit advances Session history, publishes Artifact identity, and writes the `Turn`/`Run`/`Checkpoint`/`Artifact` rows atomically.
For the sandbox and volume mechanics that sit under this model, see [Daytona runtime](/fleet-rlm/concepts/daytona-runtime).
## The three persistence layers
| Layer | Backed by | Lifetime | Authority for |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Alembic-managed Postgres | `src/fleet_rlm/persistence/` repositories over Postgres | Canonical, across restarts | Sessions, committed Turns, Runs, Attachments, Artifacts, sandbox bindings |
| Daytona Workspace Volume Scope | Daytona persistent volume mounted at `/home/daytona/fleet` | Across sandbox replacement | Workspace Memory, browsable projects, Session Workspace files, Run attachments and candidates, committed Artifact bytes, private `result.json` |
| Interpreter context | Daytona code-interpreter context inside one Sandbox | One healthy resident Session runtime, across sequential clean Turns | Live Python state inside the resident Session runtime |
A healthy, compatible Session reuses one resident interpreter across sequential clean Turns. A tainted runtime is closed before the next Turn and replaced with a fresh interpreter and Sandbox rehydrated from durable state only. Workspace files and Postgres rows outlive Sandbox replacement independently.
## Alembic-managed Postgres
The relational store is the canonical record. Domain repository interfaces live under `src/fleet_rlm/persistence/`, and Alembic owns the live schema. Runtime startup never applies migrations.
Apply the head schema explicitly before serving traffic:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python scripts/db_init.py
# or, for a targeted deploy step
uv run alembic upgrade head
uv run alembic check
```
The managed profile requires `FLEET_DATABASE_URL`. Local SQLite is suitable for development only. Fleet runs under one deterministic local `User` + `Workspace` scope, so requests carry no `Authorization` header and there is no row-level security scoping to configure.
## Committed Turn history
A Turn attempt is streamed through:
```
POST /api/sessions/{session_id}/turns
Idempotency-Key:
```
The response is the AI SDK UI message stream. On a successful commit, the Turn atomically writes to `Turn`, `Run`, `Checkpoint`, and `Artifact` tables in one transaction. A failed commit advances no Session history, publishes no Artifact identity, and still releases owned resources.
Cancelled attempts persist a bounded tombstone:
* The original user input.
* One assistant message carrying only a `cancelled` `data-status` part.
* Observed usage counters.
* The closed text `Turn cancelled`.
Tombstones never carry reasoning, code, output, or Tool evidence.
Every Root Turn receives the complete committed Session conversation as a `dspy.History` input on the Signature, one ordered `{"request": ..., "answer": ...}` record per committed Turn. History excludes hidden reasoning, generated code, raw Tool output, and failed or uncommitted results. The bounded recent previews in `session_context` and the `read_session_history` Tool remain as compatible navigation and retrieval surfaces, not the canonical conversation input.
## Session catalog
Sessions are owned by the local scope and addressed under `/api/sessions` (no `/v1` prefix).
| Endpoint | Method | Purpose |
| -------------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `/api/sessions` | `GET` | List owned Sessions |
| `/api/sessions` | `POST` | Create a Session |
| `/api/sessions/{id}` | `GET` | Read Session metadata |
| `/api/sessions/{id}` | `PATCH` | Rename or archive |
| `/api/sessions/{id}/turns` | `GET` | Ordered committed Turn history |
| `/api/sessions/{id}/turns` | `POST` | Stream a Turn attempt (requires `Idempotency-Key`) |
There is no export endpoint. Backup is handled at the Postgres and Volume layers, not through an application-level dump.
## Daytona Workspace Volume Scope
The Volume mount is fixed at `/home/daytona/fleet`, configured through `[defaults.daytona] volume_mount_path`. Fleet provisions only the namespaces it owns and leaves bundled Skills host-owned β they are not copied into the Volume.
```
/home/daytona/fleet/ # volume_mount_path
βββ workspaces//
β βββ memory/MEMORIES.md # Workspace Memory
β βββ projects// # Browsable project state
β βββ sessions// # Session Workspace
β βββ runs// # Run attachments, candidates, result.json
βββ attachments/ # Shared durable Attachment bytes
βββ artifacts/ # Committed Artifact bytes
βββ recursive//// # Recursive child scope
```
## Attachments and Artifacts
Attachments and Artifacts share the Volume Scope but move through very different lifecycles.
**Attachments.** `POST /api/attachments` uploads durable bytes to Workspace Volume Scope before writing metadata, then stages the file for the referenced Runs. Attachment identity is public at upload time.
**Artifacts.** A candidate lives privately in the Run scope until Turn Commit. The path is:
1. The host-mediated `create_artifact` produces a private Run candidate.
2. Verified bytes reach a UUID-unique durable path under `artifacts/`.
3. Turn Commit atomically writes the Artifact row and publishes identity.
There is no `POST /api/artifacts`. Read paths are:
* `GET /api/artifacts/{artifact_id}` β metadata.
* `GET /api/artifacts/{artifact_id}/content` β verified bytes.
Failed metadata commits may leave GC-eligible orphan bytes behind, but never public rows.
## Session Workspace files
Session Workspace files are immediate private state under the Session Volume path. Daytona exposes bounded operations against them:
* List and read with pagination.
* Append, in-place unique fragment edit, and whole-file replacement.
* Strict delete for files and empty directories only. No recursion, no force flag.
Writes, appends, edits, and deletes accept optional SHA-256 preconditions and never follow symlinks. For write and append, checksum comparison and mutation execute inside one mounted Workspace agent operation with target locking and inode revalidation across I/O Sandboxes.
Existing Workspace documents can be staged as private Artifact Candidates without resending bytes. Turn Commit remains the only publication boundary. Workspace files survive failed Runs and Sandbox replacement independently of the commit-gated `result.json` snapshot and the Artifact lifecycle.
### The Files API surface
The Files API (`/api/files*`) always resolves the process-local Workspace. Callers cannot select a Workspace or address Daytona Volume, mount, Sandbox, Attachment, Artifact, Session, or Run identifiers.
* No rename operation.
* `DELETE /api/files/content` removes one file or one empty directory. Non-empty targets return `409`.
* `PATCH /api/files/content` requires the `old` text to occur exactly once. Absent or ambiguous matches return `409`. The response returns the fresh checksum so callers can chain preconditions.
See [HTTP API](/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api) for the full request and response shapes.
## Workspace Memory
Workspace Memory is separate workspace-wide immediate state, not Session history and not a Turn-commit record. It lives at a fixed path:
```
workspaces//memory/MEMORIES.md
```
A pre-existing root `MEMORIES.md` migrates on first open without losing content. Session and Run state retain their nested paths below that root.
The RLM accesses memory through a bounded Tool set:
* `read_workspace_memory`
* `remember`
* `list_memories`
* `search_memories`
* `edit_memory`
* `forget`
* `update_workspace_memory` (back-compat alias)
Fleet injects a bounded `workspace_memory tail` digest of relevant plus newest records into each Turn's `session_context`. The digest is capped at 4 KiB, so the RLM has recent context without needing a Tool call.
The RLM may append a record only when the user explicitly asks to remember something. `remember` writes v3 records with a fresh id and up to 4 KiB of formatted UTF-8. Records are durable immediately. Reads return the newest complete records within a fixed 256 KiB byte budget, and the configured `max_upload_bytes` caps the whole memory file.
Memory survives failed Runs and Sandbox replacement.
## Interpreter context
A healthy, compatible Session reuses one caller-owned interpreter across sequential clean Turns, so Python globals, imports, and helper functions can persist between Turns while the runtime stays resident. Reuse is bounded:
* Fresh per Turn regardless: DSPy `REPLHistory`, iteration and LLM-call budgets, the current request, and capability bindings. A retained Tool object or Python alias resolves authorization for the current Turn and fails closed when no current capability authorizes it.
* Failure, cancellation, timeout, claim loss, commit failure, authorization failure, or uncertain settlement taints the resident runtime. Before the next Turn, Fleet closes it, acquires a fresh interpreter and a fresh Root Sandbox, and rehydrates only durable state.
* Idle eviction and process or Sandbox replacement follow the same durable-only rehydration: Python globals may be lost, durable state never is.
* Anything that must survive rotation belongs in Workspace files, Workspace Memory, or Artifacts, never in interpreter globals.
## Backup and recovery
* **Postgres.** Alembic head is the durable schema baseline. Use `uv run alembic upgrade head` for explicit deployment and `uv run alembic check` to verify.
* **Volume.** Daytona Volume snapshots taken through the provider are the durable-state backup path for Workspace Memory, Session Workspace files, Attachments, and Artifact bytes.
* **No first-class export.** Fleet does not ship an "export everything" command. Postgres and the Volume are the source of truth, backed up in place.

# Deploy the fleet-rlm backend
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/guides/deployment
Run fleet-rlm in production as a single FastAPI SSE process against Postgres and Daytona, with policy-driven profiles and no built-in caller authentication.
fleet-rlm ships as a single FastAPI process that exposes the `/api/*` SSE surface described in the [HTTP API reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api). There is no bundled web UI; the maintained client is pi-tui.
## Architecture in production
A production deploy needs:
* **fleet-rlm process** β `uv run fleet-rlm serve-api` (equivalent to `uv run fleet web`).
* **Daytona** β Sandbox provider (`FLEET_DAYTONA_API_KEY`).
* **Postgres** at the canonical Alembic head β `FLEET_DATABASE_URL`.
* **LLM provider** β An OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint. The shipped profile defaults to the Databricks Unity AI Gateway; point `api_key_env` / `base_url_env` at other variables to use OpenAI or another compatible provider.
* **MLflow** (optional) β tracing backend. Databricks-hosted tracing requires the managed Unity Catalog `*_env` references declared in the profile.
Fleet has no caller authentication. Backend launchers default to binding `127.0.0.1` and reject non-loopback hosts unless `--allow-non-loopback-bind` is passed. In production, terminate TLS and enforce access control at a reverse proxy in front of Fleet on a private interface. The [security model](/fleet-rlm/reference/security) describes the full trust boundary.
## Environment configuration
Select the runtime policy in `config/fleet.toml`:
```toml theme={null}
[config]
default_profile = "daytona-recursive"
```
Then set only the variables named by that profile:
```bash .env.production theme={null}
FLEET_DAYTONA_API_KEY=...
FLEET_DATABASE_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://USER:PASS@HOST/DB?sslmode=require
# Shipped Databricks Unity AI Gateway defaults
DATABRICKS_TOKEN=...
FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL=https:///ai-gateway/mlflow/v1
# Databricks-hosted MLflow tracing (optional, only when declared by the profile)
# FLEET_MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME=...
# FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_CATALOG=...
# FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_SCHEMA=...
# FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_TABLE_PREFIX=...
# FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACING_SQL_WAREHOUSE_ID=...
```
See the [configuration reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration) for the complete matrix.
## Initialize the database
Fleet never applies migrations at startup. Bring the database to the canonical Alembic head before starting the backend:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python scripts/db_init.py
uv run alembic check
```
## Run the backend
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet-rlm serve-api --port 8000
```
To bind a non-loopback interface behind a proxy, pass the deliberate opt-in:
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet-rlm serve-api --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --allow-non-loopback-bind
```
The `/api/settings` endpoint still rejects non-loopback clients when the main API is exposed. Route settings edits through pi-tui `/settings` on a loopback client.
## Health probes
Two unauthenticated endpoints serve orchestrators and load balancers:
| Endpoint | Purpose |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `GET /health` | Liveness. Answers while the process serves HTTP, even before startup composition completes, with the application name and version. No dependency checks. |
| `GET /health/ready` | Readiness. Returns `503` with the closed `service_not_ready` error envelope until startup composition installs, then probes the configured database with one `SELECT 1` round-trip. An unreachable configured database returns the same `503`. |
When no database URL is configured, `/health/ready` returns `200` with `database: "not_configured"`. Neither probe requires an identity header or a loopback client.
## Reverse proxy notes
* Terminate TLS at the proxy and forward to Fleet on a private interface.
* Disable response buffering. The Turn stream is Server-Sent Events; buffered proxies will delay `data-status` heartbeats and Runtime Events.
* The Turn stream emits a transient `data-status` chunk every `runtime.heartbeat_seconds` while preparation resolves. Set the proxy read timeout above that heartbeat.
## Verify the deploy
Run the Daytona doctor before load-testing a real Turn:
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet doctor daytona
```
Then hit the readiness endpoint:
```bash theme={null}
curl https://your-deploy.example.com/health/ready
```

# DSPy in fleet-rlm
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/guides/dspy-integration
How fleet-rlm composes native dspy.RLM, Signatures, durable dspy.History, and sandbox-serializable inputs for a resident Session runtime on Daytona.
Fleet runs on native `dspy.RLM` (DSPy 3.3.1). Fleet keeps one resident native `dspy.RLM` and one caller-owned interpreter per healthy Session and reuses them across sequential clean Turns; a tainted or incompatible runtime rotates before the next Turn. There is no `dspy.ReAct` chat wrapper and no Fleet-owned RLM variable-mode monkeypatch. The maintained integration surface is the shipped Signatures, the delegation ladder, and the instruction fragments that compose the Root prompt.
## Certified DSPy version
Fleet certifies exactly one published DSPy release: `dspy==3.3.1`. The runtime fails closed on anything else, including neighboring patches (`3.3.0`, `3.3.2`), prereleases, post releases, and local builds.
The guard runs before any other startup work. Backend startup and every serving or diagnostic CLI command exit with a bounded error before any provider, database, or Daytona resource is constructed and before any listener binds:
```text theme={null}
fleet: error: Fleet RLM requires exactly DSPy 3.3.1; installed version is '3.3.0'
```
Argument parsing and `--help` stay reachable on any runtime. To restore the certified version, resync from the lock:
```bash theme={null}
uv sync --all-extras --dev
```
## Where DSPy lives

```toml theme={null}
[config]
default_profile = "daytona-recursive"
```
Provider environment variables are set by profile:
* The shipped policy calls an OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint. The committed defaults use the Databricks Unity AI Gateway: `DATABRICKS_TOKEN`, `FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL`.
* To route through OpenAI or another compatible gateway, update the selected profile's `model`, `api_key_env`, and `base_url_env` in `config/fleet.toml`.
* The committed policy runs `databricks-deepseek-v4-flash-0731` for both Root and Sub.
See the [configuration reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration) for the full matrix.
## The Root Signature
The default Fleet Root Signature carries a bounded, strict input surface. Every Signature receives:
* `request` text.
* `history: dspy.History` with the complete committed Session conversation.
* Bounded `session_context`.
* Bounded `skill_cards`.
* Bounded Attachment metadata.
The `history` field is the canonical conversation input: one ordered `{"request": ..., "answer": ...}` record per committed Turn, excluding hidden reasoning, generated Python, raw Tool results, and uncommitted candidates. The bounded previews in `session_context` and the `read_session_history` Tool remain as compatible navigation and retrieval surfaces. The Signature uses strict local Pydantic DTOs; conversion and JSON serialization happen once immediately before native `dspy.RLM.acall()`.
Custom Skill Signatures retain JSON-compatible common input annotations. Only one selected Skill may provide a validated custom Signature per Turn; `data-analysis` is the only bundled Skill that does so.
## Instructions are composed, not monolithic
`src/fleet_rlm/rlm/program.py` owns the default Fleet Root instruction fragments: base, REPL, tool, optional recursion, verification, and bounded-context guidance. Fragments are composed directly; disabling recursion under a non-recursive profile omits recursion guidance rather than deleting text from one large monolithic docstring.
## Delegation ladder
The Root selects the cheapest sufficient primitive:
1. Python in the interpreter for deterministic work.
2. Native `llm_query` / `llm_query_batched` for semantic work.
3. `rlm_query` for one iterative isolated subproblem.
4. Root-only `rlm_query_batched` for ordered independent child RLMs.
Recursive children remain one native level deep. `RLM_NATIVE_CHILD_DEPTH = 1` is a fixed product invariant, not a policy value. Fleet reserves the shared recursive budget atomically before starting a child and bounds sibling concurrency through `recursion_max_parallel_children`.
See the [Recursive RLM concept page](/fleet-rlm/concepts/recursive-rlm) for the isolation contract and the `[rlm]` bounds.
## Large inputs
Long documents, workspace bundles, and durable Attachments cannot be inlined into the Root prompt. DSPy 3.3.1 ships the `SandboxSerializable` contract; Fleet builds host-constructed capsules that DSPy injects into the interpreter as REPL variables.
For example, authorized Attachment context is packaged into `AttachmentContextCapsule` before the Turn runs:
```python theme={null}
# src/fleet_rlm/rlm/program.py (host-side, illustrative)
class AttachmentContextCapsule(dspy.SandboxSerializable):
"""Compact manifest for authorized immutable context already staged in a Volume."""
entries: tuple[AttachmentContextEntry, ...]
mount_root: str
```
Inside the sandbox, DSPy reconstructs the value through `sandbox_assignment(...)` while the LM sees only a short `rlm_preview()` summary. Skill authors should not import capsule classes directly; the host builds them.
## Interpreter reuse across Turns
Within one Run, interpreter calls reuse one context, so Python state persists across RLM iterations. A healthy Session also reuses that caller-owned interpreter across sequential clean Turns: ordinary Python globals, imports, and helper functions may carry forward while the resident runtime stays healthy and compatible. DSPy's `REPLHistory` stays fresh per invocation even while the interpreter is reused sequentially; that is the upstream DSPy 3.3.1 contract Fleet relies on. Failure, cancellation, timeout, or uncertain settlement taints the runtime; Fleet then rotates to a fresh interpreter and Sandbox and rehydrates only durable state. Replacing a Daytona Sandbox remounts the Workspace Volume Scope without preserving Python globals.
## Bounded provider re-asks
DSPy 3.3.1 raises `AdapterParseError` when a provider returns an empty or unparsable action response, which previously failed the Turn immediately. Fleet now re-asks the same LM with corrective feedback appended to the prompt, up to 2 additional attempts, before the original `AdapterParseError` propagates and fails the Turn. LM timeout and transport errors receive the same bounded re-ask treatment. This behavior is automatic and has no configuration surface. Re-ask attempts appear as extra LM calls in MLflow traces.
## Tracing
`config/fleet.toml` `[mlflow]` policy controls DSPy tracing. Fleet enables MLflow DSPy inference autologging for the selected experiment; compile and evaluator traces stay disabled for live Turn observability. `mlflow.trace_content_max_chars` bounds each readable field, and `mlflow.async_logging = true` keeps trace export off the Turn critical path. See the [observability page](/fleet-rlm/concepts/observability) for the full policy.
## What is not here
* No `dspy.GEPA` optimization API surface. Committed profiles are deterministic; there is no `optimize` subcommand and no `POST /api/v1/optimization/*` endpoints.
* No `dspy.ReAct` `FleetAgent` chat wrapper.
* No BYOK per-caller LM selection.
* No Fleet-owned RLM variable-mode wrappers. Large inputs use DSPy's native `SandboxSerializable`.

# fleet-rlm troubleshooting
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/guides/troubleshooting
Fixes for common fleet-rlm issues: policy selection, Daytona credentials, database preflight failures, SSE stream errors, and MLflow tracing.
## Installation
### `No module named 'fleet_rlm'`
Sync the workspace with all extras:
```bash theme={null}
uv sync --all-extras --dev
```
Verify the entrypoints:
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet --help
uv run fleet-rlm --help
```
### `Fleet RLM requires exactly DSPy 3.3.1`
Fleet certifies exactly `dspy==3.3.1` and fails closed on any other installed version before starting any resource or binding a listener. `--help` stays reachable. Resync from the lock to restore the certified version:
```bash theme={null}
uv sync --all-extras --dev
```
### Python version mismatch
fleet-rlm targets **Python 3.13**. Install a matching interpreter through uv if needed:
```bash theme={null}
uv python install 3.13
```
## Policy and profile
### `default_profile` not set
Fleet refuses to start without an explicit `[config] default_profile` in `config/fleet.toml`. The shipped policy declares one profile:
```toml theme={null}
[config]
default_profile = "daytona-recursive"
```
The pi-tui `/profiles` command edits this key interactively for the next restart.
### `fleet cli` rejects a non-daytona profile
`fleet cli` accepts only profiles whose runtime environment is `daytona`. Selecting a different environment fails before database preflight, MLflow startup, or backend spawning. Switch to a Daytona profile or use `fleet-rlm serve-api` for backend-only setups.
### Unknown TOML key error at startup
Fleet fails startup on unknown keys, missing profiles, invalid variable references, and absent TOML. Common culprits:
* `mlflow.trace_content_mode` β removed. Delete the key.
* `rlm.recursion_max_depth` β removed. The native child boundary is a fixed invariant. Delete the key.
## Configuration
### `Daytona configuration missing`
Every profile requires `FLEET_DAYTONA_API_KEY`. Set it in `.env` or export it:
```bash theme={null}
export FLEET_DAYTONA_API_KEY=your-daytona-api-key
```
### Provider credentials missing
Only the environment variables named by the selected profile are read. The shipped policy names the Databricks Unity AI Gateway Chat Completions endpoint:
```bash theme={null}
DATABRICKS_TOKEN=...
FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL=https:///ai-gateway/mlflow/v1
```
To use OpenAI or another OpenAI-compatible gateway, rewrite the selected profile's `model`, `api_key_env`, and `base_url_env` in `config/fleet.toml`, then set the variables named there (for example, `FLEET_OPENAI_API_KEY` and `FLEET_OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1`).
## Backend startup
### `Connection refused at 127.0.0.1:8000`
Check what is holding the port and rerun on a different port:
```bash theme={null}
lsof -i :8000
uv run fleet-rlm serve-api --port 8001
```
### Backend refuses to bind a non-loopback host
Launchers default to `127.0.0.1` and reject `0.0.0.0`, LAN addresses, and hostnames other than `localhost`. Pass `--allow-non-loopback-bind` to opt in when running behind a proxy.
### Database preflight fails
`fleet cli` verifies the configured database is at the canonical Alembic head. Recover with:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python scripts/db_init.py
uv run alembic check
```
## Daytona
### Diagnose before a real Turn
Run the doctor to validate settings, database head, provider auth, Volume visibility, mount scoping, and interpreter execution:
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet doctor daytona
```
It creates one uniquely labelled disposable Sandbox, deletes it in `finally`, and prints only bounded categories and corrective actions.
### Missing Daytona base snapshot
Recursive delegations bootstrap from a reusable snapshot. If it is missing, rebuild it:
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet-rlm daytona-snapshot --refresh
```
## Turn SSE stream
### Transport `200` but the stream ends with `error`
The Turn stream begins immediately, so a healthy transport status does not imply a successful Turn. When claim or preparation fails, the stream closes with `error` + `finish` chunks carrying one of these messages:
* `Session not found`
* `A Turn is already running`
* `Idempotency key input mismatch`
* `Invalid Skill selection`
* `Turn preparation timed out`
* `Turn is unavailable`
* `Invalid request`
Read the Run id from the `start` chunk metadata, not from a response header.
### Cancelled Turns show no reasoning or output
By design. Cancellation ends the live stream with a single terminal `abort` chunk. The persisted tombstone carries only observed usage, a `cancelled` `data-status` part, and the closed text `Turn cancelled` β never reasoning, code, output, or Tool evidence.
### Turn fails with an adapter parse error
Fleet automatically re-asks the provider up to 2 more times with corrective feedback when a response cannot be parsed. If the Turn still fails with `AdapterParseError`, the provider returned empty or malformed output on every attempt. Check provider health and the MLflow trace for the raw responses.
## MLflow tracing
### Traces not appearing in the local server
`fleet cli` starts or reuses a local MLflow server on `127.0.0.1:5001`; local tracing is the committed default. Backend-only commands (`fleet web`, `fleet-rlm serve-api`) require the tracking server to be started separately.
### Managed MLflow inputs missing
A profile that declares `mlflow.tracking_uri = "databricks"` with the managed `*_env` references requires `FLEET_MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME`, `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_CATALOG`, `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_SCHEMA`, `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_TABLE_PREFIX`, and `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACING_SQL_WAREHOUSE_ID`. Startup fails without them.
## Workspace Memory
### `Workspace Memory degraded` warnings in the logs
Workspace Memory preparation is fail-soft, so a warning does not fail the Turn. Read the five bounded fields to decide what to fix next:
* `category=provider_unavailable` β the Volume or mounted agent is unreachable. Check `uv run fleet doctor daytona` for Volume visibility and mount scoping.
* `category=invariant_violation` β the durable store contains duplicate or invalid rows. Repair or dedupe `memory/MEMORIES.md` inside the Workspace Volume.
* `category=corrupt_record_set` β a mounted-agent Memory payload violated its response shape. Investigate the agent or reset the affected records.
* `category=legacy_migration` β the legacy root `MEMORIES.md` β `memory/MEMORIES.md` sequence failed. Remove any non-regular file at the legacy path.
* `category=search_failure` or `normalization` β the Turn already fell back to the recency-only digest; no action is needed unless it repeats.
* `category=unexpected_internal` β file a bug and include `cause_type`.
See the [Workspace Memory degradation section](/fleet-rlm/concepts/observability#workspace-memory-degradation) for the full field contract.
## Still stuck?
* File an issue: [github.com/qredence/fleet-rlm/issues](https://github.com/qredence/fleet-rlm/issues)
* Read the source β `src/fleet_rlm/api/` mounts the routes and `src/fleet_rlm/chat/turn_coordinator.py` owns the Turn lifecycle. The [architecture page](/fleet-rlm/concepts/architecture) lists the reading order.
# Install fleet-rlm
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/installation
Install fleet-rlm from source with uv, provision the Daytona snapshot, initialize Postgres to the Alembic head, and pin the pi-tui workspace.
fleet-rlm is distributed as a source repository. Install it with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) and, if you plan to use the supervised `fleet cli` command, install the pi-tui workspace with pnpm.
## Prerequisites
* **Python 3.13**
* **[uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)** package manager
* **Daytona API key** for Sandbox execution
* **Postgres** (`FLEET_DATABASE_URL`) for durable deployments; local SQLite works for development
* **Node 22.19+ and [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/)** if you want `fleet cli` to launch the pi-tui terminal client
## 1. Clone and sync
```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/qredence/fleet-rlm.git
cd fleet-rlm
uv sync --all-extras --dev
```
`--all-extras --dev` installs the runtime, benchmarks, and test extras.
Verify the CLI entrypoints:
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet --help
uv run fleet-rlm --help
```
## 2. Select a runtime profile
Non-secret policy lives in `config/fleet.toml`. The shipped policy declares exactly one profile, `daytona-recursive`, and `[config] default_profile` selects it as the committed default.
Only the environment variables named by the selected profile are read. Unknown keys, missing profiles, invalid variable references, and absent TOML fail startup. See the [configuration reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration) for the full env matrix.
## 3. Configure credentials
Copy the shipped template and fill only the variables named by the selected profile:
```bash theme={null}
cp .env.example .env
```
At minimum for the shipped Databricks Unity AI Gateway defaults:
```ini theme={null}
FLEET_DAYTONA_API_KEY=...
FLEET_DATABASE_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@host/db
DATABRICKS_TOKEN=...
FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL=https:///ai-gateway/mlflow/v1
```
The shipped profile uses the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. To route through OpenAI or another compatible provider, update the profile's `model`, `api_key_env`, and `base_url_env` in `config/fleet.toml` (for example, point `base_url_env` at `FLEET_OPENAI_BASE_URL` and set that variable to `https://api.openai.com/v1`).
Process exports override `.env` for those named values.
## 4. Provision the Daytona base snapshot
Fleet child sandboxes bootstrap from a reusable base snapshot. Build or refresh it once:
```bash theme={null}
make daytona-snapshot-check
# or, to rebuild explicitly:
uv run fleet-rlm daytona-snapshot --refresh
```
## 5. Bring the database to the Alembic head
Runtime startup never applies migrations. Initialize the configured database explicitly:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python scripts/db_init.py
uv run alembic upgrade head
uv run alembic check
```
`fleet cli` verifies the head before starting the backend and refuses to proceed otherwise. Recover from a mismatch by re-running `scripts/db_init.py` and retrying.
## 6. (Optional) Install pi-tui
`fleet cli` supervises the backend and runs the pi-tui terminal client in the foreground. Install its workspace once:
```bash theme={null}
cd tools/fleet-tui
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
cd ../..
```
You can also connect a standalone pi-tui to an already-running backend:
```bash theme={null}
pnpm --dir tools/fleet-tui start -- --session
```
Set `FLEET_API_URL` to point pi-tui at a non-default host, for example `http://127.0.0.1:9000`.
## 7. Verify
Run the Daytona doctor to validate settings, database head, provider auth, Volume visibility, mount scoping, and interpreter execution:
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet doctor daytona
```
Then start Fleet:
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet cli
# or, backend only:
uv run fleet-rlm serve-api --port 8000
```
## Common Makefile targets
| Target | What it does |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `make check` | Run the standard quality gate. |
| `make check-security` | Run security scanners. |
| `make build-release` | Build the release artifacts. |

# Introduction to fleet-rlm
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/introduction
fleet-rlm is a FastAPI SSE backend for recursive language-model turns on dspy.RLM, with a pi-tui terminal client and Daytona workspace-scoped volumes.
`fleet-rlm` is the RLM-native backend behind Qredence's Fleet product. It runs one resident `dspy.RLM` per Session against a Daytona Sandbox with a workspace-scoped durable Volume, streams typed Runtime Events over FastAPI Server-Sent Events, and persists committed Turn history and Artifacts through Alembic-managed Postgres.
The maintained development client is the pi-tui workspace under `tools/fleet-tui/`. There is no Fleet-shipped web UI: the earlier browser workspace and dual runtime were removed in the `dev-0.7` cutover.
## What it is
* **A backend, not an app.** `src/fleet_rlm/` exposes a small `/api/*` surface (Sessions, Turns, Attachments, Artifacts, Volume, Skills, Runs) and one SSE Turn stream.
* **RLM-first orchestration.** A healthy Session reuses one resident native `dspy.RLM` and caller-owned interpreter across sequential clean Turns. Root delegation uses Python, native sub-LM queries, or one level of isolated child RLMs according to a cheapest-sufficient ladder.
* **Durable conversation as `dspy.History`.** Every Root Turn receives the complete committed Session conversation as a `dspy.History` Signature input; conversation state advances only after durable commit.
* **Daytona-backed execution.** A healthy Session retains an Interpreter Lease against a Daytona Sandbox and mounts a workspace-scoped Volume. Workspace Memory is durable across Runs and Sandbox replacement.
* **Native scrollback client.** `pi-tui` streams the AI SDK UI message stream and does not own a model, provider key, or Sandbox.
## Who it's for
Operators and researchers who want a certified, policy-driven RLM runtime β with idempotent Turns, durable Artifacts, workspace-scoped Memory, and native DSPy tracing β behind a small SSE HTTP contract they can drive from `pi-tui` or their own client.
## Two runtime surfaces
`uv run fleet cli` starts the backend, waits for readiness, then launches `pi-tui` in the foreground. Requires Node 22.19+ and pnpm.
`uv run fleet web` or `uv run fleet-rlm serve-api --port 8000` runs the FastAPI SSE surface without a client. Bind to `127.0.0.1` unless you opt in with `--allow-non-loopback-bind`.
## Policy-selected profiles
Fleet is strict about non-secret runtime policy. `config/fleet.toml` declares named profiles and `[config] default_profile` selects which one runs. The shipped policy declares one profile, `daytona-recursive`, which is the committed default.
* The shipped profile calls an OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint. The committed defaults use the Databricks Unity AI Gateway with `DATABRICKS_TOKEN` and `FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL`.
* To route through OpenAI or another compatible provider, update the profile's `model`, `api_key_env`, and `base_url_env` in `config/fleet.toml`.
* Every profile requires `FLEET_DAYTONA_API_KEY`, and durable deployments require `FLEET_DATABASE_URL` at the canonical Alembic head.
See the [configuration reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration) for the full env matrix.

# fleet-rlm quickstart
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/quickstart
Install fleet-rlm with uv, configure the shipped daytona-recursive profile, initialize the database, and stream a Turn through pi-tui or the SSE API.
Get fleet-rlm running against a Daytona Sandbox in a few minutes.
## Prerequisites
* **Python 3.13** and [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).
* **Daytona API key** for Sandbox execution.
* **A provider credential.** The shipped profile calls an OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint. The committed defaults use the Databricks Unity AI Gateway (`DATABRICKS_TOKEN`, `FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL`). Point the profile at OpenAI or another compatible provider by updating its `model`, `api_key_env`, and `base_url_env` in `config/fleet.toml`.
* **A Postgres URL** (`FLEET_DATABASE_URL`) for durable deployments. Local SQLite is only suitable for development.
* **Node 22.19+ and pnpm** if you want to run the supervised backend plus `pi-tui` via `fleet cli`.
## 1. Install fleet-rlm
Clone the repository and sync the extras:
```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/qredence/fleet-rlm.git
cd fleet-rlm
uv sync --all-extras --dev
```
## 2. Choose a profile
Non-secret runtime policy lives in `config/fleet.toml`. Confirm the desired profile in `[config] default_profile` before starting the backend:
```toml theme={null}
[config]
default_profile = "daytona-recursive"
```
The shipped policy declares exactly one profile:
| Profile | Provider | Recursion | Tracing |
| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ------------ |
| `daytona-recursive` (default) | OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions (Databricks Unity AI Gateway by default) | one child level | local MLflow |
The `pi-tui` `/profiles` command rewrites `default_profile` for the next restart. See the [generated profile matrix](https://github.com/qredence/fleet-rlm/blob/main/docs/reference/profile-matrix.md) for the exact environment names and token caps each profile expects.
## 3. Configure environment variables
Only variables named by the selected profile are read; process exports win over `.env` values.
```bash .env theme={null}
# Required for every Daytona profile
FLEET_DAYTONA_API_KEY=...
FLEET_DATABASE_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@host/db
# Provider credentials for the shipped Databricks Unity AI Gateway defaults
DATABRICKS_TOKEN=...
FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL=https:///ai-gateway/mlflow/v1
# OpenAI or another compatible gateway (only if you rewrote the profile to point
# api_key_env/base_url_env at these variables)
# FLEET_OPENAI_API_KEY=...
# FLEET_OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
```
The `FLEET_MLFLOW_*` variables are read only when a local profile declares Databricks-hosted tracing. See the [configuration reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration) for details.
## 4. Initialize the database
Fleet never applies migrations at startup. Bring the configured database to the canonical Alembic head before running the backend:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python scripts/db_init.py
```
Confirm the head with `uv run alembic check`.
## 5. Prepare the Daytona snapshot
Verify the required Daytona base snapshot exists so recursive delegations skip the per-run image pull:
```bash theme={null}
make daytona-snapshot-check
```
Use `uv run fleet doctor daytona` for a bounded probe of settings, database head, provider auth, Volume visibility, mount scoping, and interpreter execution before you diagnose a real Turn.
## 6. Start Fleet
Pick one runtime surface:
```bash Supervised (backend + pi-tui) theme={null}
uv run fleet cli
```
```bash Backend only (fleet) theme={null}
uv run fleet web --port 8000
```
```bash Backend only (fleet-rlm) theme={null}
uv run fleet-rlm serve-api --port 8000
```
Launchers default to `127.0.0.1` and reject non-loopback binds unless `--allow-non-loopback-bind` is passed. Backend and MLflow output stream to `.fleet_rlm/logs/`; `latest.log` and `mlflow-latest.log` point to the active files.
Forward arguments to `pi-tui` after `--`:
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet cli -- --session
```
## 7. Stream a Turn from the API
Every Turn requires an `Idempotency-Key`. The stream begins immediately with a transient `data-status` chunk, then emits Runtime Events, and closes with `finish` + `[DONE]`.
```bash theme={null}
# Create a Session
SESSION=$(curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/sessions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"title": "hello"}' | jq -r .id)
# Stream one Turn
curl -N -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/sessions/$SESSION/turns" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
-d '{"text": "Summarize the workspace README."}'
```
To cancel a live Run, `PUT /api/runs/{run_id}/cancellation`. Cancelled attempts persist a bounded tombstone in committed history.

# fleet-rlm CLI reference: fleet, fleet-rlm
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/reference/cli
Reference for the fleet and fleet-rlm commands: supervised cli, backend-only serve-api, Daytona doctor checks, and base snapshot management.
fleet-rlm exposes two command entrypoints:
* **`fleet`** β user-facing launcher for supervised backend + pi-tui, backend-only, and diagnostics.
* **`fleet-rlm`** β Typer command group with subcommands for server modes and Daytona snapshot management.
All launchers default to binding `127.0.0.1` and reject non-loopback hosts (`0.0.0.0`, LAN addresses, hostnames other than `localhost`) unless `--allow-non-loopback-bind` is supplied deliberately.
Before starting a Daytona backend, set `[config] default_profile` in `config/fleet.toml`. The shipped policy declares one profile, `daytona-recursive`, which is the default. The pi-tui `/profiles` command edits that key interactively for the next restart. `fleet cli` accepts only profiles whose runtime environment is `daytona` and fails before database preflight, MLflow startup, or backend spawning on any other selection.
## `fleet cli`
Supervised backend plus pi-tui in the foreground.
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet cli \
[--host 127.0.0.1] [--port 8000] \
[--reload] [--allow-non-loopback-bind] \
[-- ]
```
Behavior:
* Starts the backend in its own process group and waits up to 90 seconds for Daytona readiness.
* Runs pi-tui in the foreground with native scrollback. `Ctrl+C` reaches pi-tui.
* Owned-process shutdown escalates from termination to forced stop after five seconds.
* Requires Node 22.19+, pnpm, an installed pi-tui workspace (`tools/fleet-tui/`), and an unused port.
* Verifies the configured database is at the canonical Alembic head. Recover with `uv run python scripts/db_init.py` and retry.
For the shipped `daytona-recursive` profile, `fleet cli` also starts the installed MLflow server on `127.0.0.1:5001` with one worker, SQLite metadata under `.fleet_rlm/mlflow/mlflow.db`, and artifacts under `.fleet_rlm/mlflow/artifacts`. It reuses an already-running server only when `GET /version` matches the installed MLflow version, and never stops a reused process. Standalone backend commands require the configured tracking server to be started separately.
Backend and owned MLflow output stream to timestamped files under `.fleet_rlm/logs/`; `latest.log` and `mlflow-latest.log` point to the active logs.
Forward terminal options after `--`:
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet cli -- --session
uv run fleet cli -- artifact --output ./result.bin
```
Artifact mode downloads content, checks length and SHA-256, fsyncs a temporary file, and atomically renames it. It does not start the interactive screen.
## `fleet web`
Backend-only launcher. Uses the profile selected by `[config] default_profile`.
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet web \
[--host 127.0.0.1] [--port 8000] \
[--reload] [--allow-non-loopback-bind]
```
Does not launch pi-tui. There is no Fleet-shipped web UI; connect a client to the SSE surface directly, or run pi-tui standalone against the API:
```bash theme={null}
pnpm --dir tools/fleet-tui start -- [options]
```
Set `FLEET_API_URL` to point standalone pi-tui at a non-default host.
## `fleet doctor daytona`
Opt-in disposable probe that validates required settings, database connectivity, Alembic head, provider authentication, Volume visibility, scoped mounting, and interpreter execution.
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet doctor daytona
```
The probe creates one uniquely labelled disposable Sandbox, deletes it in `finally`, creates no Fleet domain rows, and prints only bounded categories and corrective actions. Run it before diagnosing a real Turn.
## `fleet-rlm serve-api`
Same backend as `fleet web`, exposed as a Typer subcommand.
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet-rlm serve-api \
[--host 127.0.0.1] [--port 8000] \
[--reload] [--allow-non-loopback-bind]
```
Uses the profile selected by `[config] default_profile`. Does not launch pi-tui and does not manage MLflow.
## `fleet-rlm daytona-snapshot`
Create or refresh the reusable Daytona base snapshot child sandboxes bootstrap from.
```bash theme={null}
uv run fleet-rlm daytona-snapshot [--refresh]
```

# fleet-rlm configuration reference
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/reference/configuration
Reference for fleet-rlm runtime policy: config/fleet.toml profiles, FLEET_* environment inputs, MLflow tracing, and recursive RLM bounds.
Fleet starts from the required, committed `config/fleet.toml` policy file. `[config] default_profile` inside that file selects the active profile. The shipped policy declares exactly one profile, `daytona-recursive`, and the whole policy lives in `[defaults]`. Policy is strict, resolved once at process startup, and takes effect only after restart.
The TOML file contains no secret values. It declares environment-variable names for Root/Sub API keys, the database URL, the Daytona API key, and managed MLflow destinations. Fleet reads only those named values from the process environment or repository `.env` (process values win). Fleet ignores other `FLEET_*` variables, including model, RLM, endpoint, runtime, and MLflow settings, unless the selected profile explicitly names them.
Fleet does not consult `FLEET_CONFIG_PROFILE`. Unknown TOML keys, absent profiles, missing TOML, and invalid variable references fail startup.
## Runtime prerequisites
The committed policy calls an OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint and routes Root and Sub through the Databricks Unity AI Gateway MLflow endpoint. It requires `DATABRICKS_TOKEN`, `FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL`, and `FLEET_DAYTONA_API_KEY`. To use OpenAI or another compatible provider instead, update the selected profile's `model`, `api_key_env`, and `base_url_env` entries in `config/fleet.toml`; the base URL is typically the provider's `/v1` root.
| Profile | Provider values | Persistence and tracing |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `daytona-recursive` (default) | `DATABRICKS_TOKEN`, `FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL`, `FLEET_DAYTONA_API_KEY` | Configure `FLEET_DATABASE_URL` at Alembic head for durable deployment; local SQLite is suitable for development. Local MLflow tracing is enabled. |
Profiles are explicit and do not fall back to each other. Daytona startup never applies migrations; use `uv run python scripts/db_init.py` or Alembic directly.
The [generated profile matrix](https://github.com/qredence/fleet-rlm/blob/main/docs/reference/profile-matrix.md) shows the provider, token, recursion, and environment contract derived from `config/fleet.toml`.
## Policy structure
`config/fleet.toml` deep-merges `[defaults]` into the selected `[profiles.]`. It centralizes:
* Application identity.
* The runtime variant selector, runtime timeouts, leases, liveness, and the credentialed-command live switch.
* Root/Sub model ids, provider-service routing, endpoint, token limit, per-role request timeout, temperature, cache, retries, and secret-variable references.
* RLM limits, the wrap-up reserve, and host verbosity.
* Storage limits and the database variable reference.
* Daytona API-key/Volume/Snapshot policy.
* MLflow tracking policy.
* Fleet/DSPy logger level.
`storage.max_upload_bytes` bounds uploads and workspace files, `storage.max_url_bytes` bounds fetched public URL sources, and `storage.max_artifact_bytes` bounds artifact bodies.
### Root and Sub models
Both roles run `databricks-deepseek-v4-flash-0731` through the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions format, using the `DATABRICKS_TOKEN` and `FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL` references. `FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL` must be the Databricks Unity AI Gateway `/ai-gateway/mlflow/v1` base; the client appends `/chat/completions`. The role ceiling is a deliberately bounded `max_tokens = 16384`; Fleet's character-level output caps bound retained output independently. Each role also carries its own provider request timeout: `llm.root.timeout_seconds = 300` and `llm.sub.timeout_seconds = 90`. LM caching is disabled for both roles.
The shipped Root and Sub roles set `num_retries = 1`. This is a committed runtime policy choice; custom profiles that omit the field inherit the shipped default of `1`. The typed settings default of `3` applies only when both the defaults and the selected profile omit the field.
Model ids may use an explicit `provider/model` prefix. For an OpenAI-compatible base URL, bare ids are normalized with the `openai/` prefix before constructing `dspy.LM`.
### Runtime variant
`runtime.variant` selects the execution architecture. Its default and only implemented value is `legacy`. Fleet rejects `native` and `capsule` at startup, and the settings editor offers only implemented choices. Policies that omit the key keep the legacy behavior; the committed policy names it explicitly.
`runtime.environment = "daytona"` selects the provider environment independently. It does not select an execution architecture.
```toml config/fleet.toml theme={null}
[defaults.runtime]
variant = "legacy"
environment = "daytona"
```
### Live commands
`runtime.live_enabled` defaults to `true` for explicitly invoked provider, Daytona, and Prime Oolong commands. Set it to `false` in the selected TOML policy to fail closed before those commands construct provider or Daytona clients. This policy replaces the old `FLEET_LIVE=1` shell switch; invoking a live command remains an explicit operator action, and the required credentials are still validated.
### MLflow tracing
When tracing is enabled, `mlflow.async_logging` keeps trace export off the Turn critical path and `mlflow.trace_sampling_ratio` controls the fraction of Turns sent to MLflow. The committed default is asynchronous export with a `1.0` sampling ratio.
Trace payloads retain bounded, readable prompts, reasoning, generated code, tool payloads, and responses. `mlflow.trace_content_max_chars` bounds each readable field and defaults to `10000` characters. The trace export boundary still protects credentials, connection strings, private paths, and system-prompt dumps.
The `mlflow.trace_content_mode` setting is removed. `fleet.toml` files that still set `trace_content_mode = "safe"` fail validation with an unknown-key error; delete the key. Trace content is now always readable (bounded by `mlflow.trace_content_max_chars`).
The committed default routes traces to the local `fleet-rlm` experiment at `http://127.0.0.1:5001`; the supervised `fleet cli` command starts or reuses that server. Databricks-hosted tracing remains available for local policy: declare `mlflow.tracking_uri = "databricks"` together with the `experiment_name_env`, `trace_catalog_env`, `trace_schema_env`, `trace_table_prefix_env`, and `tracing_sql_warehouse_id_env` references in a profile. The loader resolves those names the same way.
Fleet enables MLflow DSPy inference autologging for the selected experiment; compile and evaluator traces remain disabled for live Turn observability.
### PostHog product analytics
The optional `[posthog]` policy section controls fail-soft PostHog product analytics. The shipped `[defaults.posthog]` policy enables analytics against the EU ingestion host and stays disabled whenever the named token variable is absent. Analytics never block startup, and re-init during the FastAPI lifespan is idempotent.
| Setting | Description |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `posthog.enabled` | Switches analytics on or off for the selected profile. |
| `posthog.project_token_env` | Environment variable that holds the PostHog project token. The token is read as a `SecretStr` and never logged. |
| `posthog.host` | Ingestion host. Must be an absolute `http(s)` URL; trailing slashes are normalized. The committed default targets the EU instance. |
Every event shares one stable per-installation `distinct_id` persisted under the storage data root at `/analytics-instance-id`. The deterministic local user id is never used as a PostHog identity, so multiple installations remain distinct. PostHog exception autocapture is disabled; Turn failures are captured through sanitized failure messages only.
The client emits these events from the corresponding HTTP routes:
| Event | Trigger |
| ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `session_created`, `session_updated` | `POST /api/sessions`, `PATCH /api/sessions/{id}` |
| `turn_created` | `POST /api/sessions/{id}/turns` (post-open, pre-stream) |
| `turn_failed` | Turn open-failure and stream-failure phases; client disconnect is excluded. |
| `artifact_downloaded` | `GET /api/artifacts/{id}` |
| `run_cancellation_requested` | `POST /api/runs/{id}/cancel` |
| `skill_listed` | `GET /api/skills` |
| `settings_policy_updated` | `PATCH /api/settings/policy` |
The Settings API exposes `posthog.enabled`, `posthog.project_token_env`, and `posthog.host` for editing through the loopback `/api/settings` surface. Changes apply after the next Fleet restart.
Example policy:
```toml config/fleet.toml theme={null}
[defaults.posthog]
enabled = true
project_token_env = "POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN"
host = "https://eu.i.posthog.com"
```
### RLM bounds and the wrap-up reserve
The native RLM policy fields map directly to DSPy 3.3.x. `max_iters` bounds Root/child action iterations. `max_llm_calls` bounds prompts sent through native `llm_query` and `llm_query_batched` tools; each batched prompt counts. `max_output_chars` bounds each REPL output when DSPy renders native history for the next action; it is not a total-history limit. The shipped policy deliberately lowers the effective Root values to `12`, `32`, and `6000` (the generic DSPy fallback values are `20`, `50`, and `10000`). The child values remain `8`, `12`, and `4000`. The tightened Root budget leaves room for deliberate verification without allowing an unproductive long tail.
`rlm.wrap_up_seconds` reserves a final-answer window before the Turn deadline. When the remaining time inside a Turn drops to this reserve, Fleet directs the Root to submit its final answer instead of starting new actions. The committed default is `300` seconds.
### Turn budget
Each Turn owns one shared, atomic budget. Provider attempts, retries, adapter repairs, Tool calls, recursive children, retained execution output, and finalization all draw from it, so parallel children cannot double-count against the same allowance. When a Turn exhausts a budget dimension, Fleet stops admitting that kind of work and moves the Root toward finalization.
| Setting | Committed default | Description |
| -------------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `rlm.max_provider_attempts` | `2048` | Turn-wide ceiling on physical provider admissions. Retries and adapter repairs count against it. |
| `rlm.max_tool_calls` | `256` | Turn-wide ceiling on Fleet Tool calls. |
| `rlm.max_execution_output_chars` | `4000` | Character cap on each retained interpreter execution output. |
| `rlm.max_execution_output_bytes` | `2000000` | Turn-wide byte ceiling on retained interpreter output. |
| `rlm.execution_timeout_s` | `300` | Timeout for a single sandbox execution. |
| `rlm.finalization_attempts` | `2` | Provider attempts reserved for the Root final answer. Finalization capacity is Root-only. |
These budget controls are separate from the DSPy-mapped `max_iters`, `max_llm_calls`, and `max_output_chars` fields above. The Turn deadline (`runtime.turn_timeout_seconds`) and the recursive call and concurrency limits below settle against the same shared budget.
```toml config/fleet.toml theme={null}
[defaults.rlm]
max_provider_attempts = 2048
max_tool_calls = 256
max_execution_output_chars = 4000
max_execution_output_bytes = 2000000
execution_timeout_s = 300
finalization_attempts = 2
```
### Recursive RLM
The `[rlm]` recursion settings bound the native `rlm_query(prompt=prompt)` child harness:
| Setting | Description |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `recursion_enabled` | Enable one real child level. The shipped `daytona-recursive` policy enables it. |
| `recursion_max_calls` | Bounded number of native child queries per Turn. Committed default `4`. |
| `recursion_max_prompt_chars` | Cap on the prompt characters passed to each child. Committed default `50000`. |
| `recursion_child_max_iters` | Iteration cap inside each child RLM. Committed default `8`. |
| `recursion_child_max_llm_calls` | Semantic LM call cap inside each child. Committed default `12`. |
| `recursion_child_max_output_chars` | Output character cap per child. Committed default `4000`. |
| `recursion_max_parallel_children` | Maximum concurrent independent child RLMs. Committed default `5`. |
The native recursive-child boundary is a fixed product invariant (`RLM_NATIVE_CHILD_DEPTH = 1`), not an editable policy value. Policies that still set `rlm.recursion_max_depth` fail validation; delete the key.
Under `daytona-recursive`, each child receives a fresh, dedicated Daytona Sandbox, ordinary Daytona network egress, and the same Volume ID mounted at `recursive///`. That private sibling scope cannot reach the Root `workspaces/` mount. The child receives no Fleet Tools or credentials; strict cleanup purges its scope and deletes its Sandbox before Root success can commit.
### Autonomous memory
`rlm.autonomous_memory_categories` is a TOML-only list of canonical Workspace Memory category names and defaults to `[]`, which omits `propose_memory` from the Root Tool inventory entirely. A non-empty allowlist enables a Root-only, Run-scoped candidate collector and permits best-effort promotion only after a successful durable Turn commit; it does not change explicit-user memory behavior.
## Environment inputs
Only variables named by the selected profile are read.
| Variable | Policy reference | Meaning |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `FLEET_DATABASE_URL` | `storage.database_url_env` | Async SQLAlchemy URL; required for durable deployments. |
| `FLEET_DAYTONA_API_KEY` | `daytona.api_key_env` | Daytona provider credential for every profile. |
| `DATABRICKS_TOKEN` | Root/Sub `api_key_env` in the committed policy | Databricks PAT for the Chat Completions endpoint; also authenticates MLflow tracing and evaluation lanes. |
| `FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL` | Root/Sub `base_url_env` in the committed policy | Databricks Unity AI Gateway MLflow base (`/chat/completions` is appended). |
| `FLEET_OPENAI_API_KEY` | Custom Root/Sub `api_key_env` reference | OpenAI-compatible provider credential when you rewrite the profile to point at OpenAI or another gateway. |
| `FLEET_OPENAI_BASE_URL` | Custom Root/Sub `base_url_env` reference | OpenAI-compatible provider endpoint (for example, `https://api.openai.com/v1`). |
| `FLEET_MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME` | `mlflow.experiment_name_env` when a profile declares it | Databricks MLflow experiment. |
| `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_CATALOG` / `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_SCHEMA` | `mlflow.*_env` when a profile declares them | Unity Catalog destination. |
| `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_TABLE_PREFIX` / `FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACING_SQL_WAREHOUSE_ID` | `mlflow.*_env` when a profile declares them | Trace table prefix and SQL warehouse. |
| `POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN` | `posthog.project_token_env` | PostHog project token for product analytics. Analytics are enabled by the shipped policy but stay disabled when this variable is absent. |
## Terminal-only setting
`FLEET_API_URL` changes the standalone pi-tui API base URL from `http://127.0.0.1:8000`. It is not a backend `Settings` field and is unnecessary when the supervised `fleet cli` command supplies the local API URL.
## Local terminal editing
The pi-tui `/settings` command reads and edits the non-secret policy in `config/fleet.toml`. It is available only to a loopback API client, including when an operator has explicitly exposed the normal API on another interface.
The selector supports `[defaults]` and every existing named profile, and offers choice, text/number, and boolean child panels. Edits are revision-checked, validated against every profile, and saved as one atomic batch; either every change lands or none do. You can also reset a profile override so the field inherits its `[defaults]` value again. The `/settings` panels never read or display `.env` values or provider credentials; database and provider values are represented only by their environment-variable names. A saved policy applies only after Fleet is restarted; existing runtime composition and active Turns are never changed in place.
The companion pi-tui `/profiles` command writes the chosen name to `config.default_profile` through the same loopback policy. It labels the active profile as running and a different `default_profile` as selected for restart.
## Example .env
Copy the shipped template and fill only variables named by the selected profile:
```bash .env theme={null}
# Every deployment
FLEET_DAYTONA_API_KEY=...
FLEET_DATABASE_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@host/db
# Shipped Databricks Unity AI Gateway defaults
DATABRICKS_TOKEN=...
FLEET_LLM_BASE_URL=https:///ai-gateway/mlflow/v1
# Databricks MLflow trace destinations (optional, only when declared by the profile)
# FLEET_MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME=...
# FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_CATALOG=...
# FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_SCHEMA=...
# FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACE_TABLE_PREFIX=...
# FLEET_MLFLOW_TRACING_SQL_WAREHOUSE_ID=...
# OpenAI or another OpenAI-compatible gateway (only if you rewrote the profile
# to point api_key_env/base_url_env at these variables)
# FLEET_OPENAI_API_KEY=...
# FLEET_OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
```
Never commit `.env`, credentials, raw provider failures, or evidence containing secrets.

# fleet-rlm HTTP and SSE API reference
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api
Reference for the fleet-rlm FastAPI surface: Sessions, Turns, Attachments, Artifacts, Files, Volume, Skills, Runs, and the Turn SSE stream contract.
fleet-rlm exposes a small, deterministic HTTP surface under `/api/*` and one Server-Sent Events stream for Turn execution. The canonical schema lives in [`openapi.yaml`](https://github.com/qredence/fleet-rlm/blob/main/openapi.yaml); this page is a high-level map.
Fleet uses one deterministic local User and Workspace scope. It accepts no `Authorization` header or caller-supplied identity headers. There is no `/api/v1` prefix, no WebSocket execution surface, no optimization/evaluation API, no runtime-admin API, no caller-selected BYOK profile API, and no public Artifact creation endpoint.
Backend launchers default to binding `127.0.0.1` and reject non-loopback hosts unless `--allow-non-loopback-bind` is passed. The `/api/settings` endpoint is a separate local administration surface: it rejects non-loopback clients even when the API has been explicitly bound to another interface. See the [security model](/fleet-rlm/reference/security) for the full trust boundary.

## Turn creation
`POST /api/sessions/{session_id}/turns` executes exactly one Turn on the Session's resident native `dspy.RLM`, creating or rotating the runtime as needed. Idempotency is mandatory.
**Required headers:**
| Header | Description |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Idempotency-Key` | Client-supplied key that bounds retries to a single durable Turn. |
| `Content-Type` | `application/json`. |
**Request body:**
| Field | Type | Description |
| ------------------ | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `text` | string | User message text. |
| `attachment_ids` | string\[] | Optional durable Attachment ids owned by the caller. |
| `skill_selections` | object\[] | Optional list of up to four unique `{id, expected_version}` Skill entries. |
Explicit `skill_selections` become authoritative for the Turn and are folded into its idempotency fingerprint. Omitting `skill_selections` supplies the full bounded catalog to the RLM and permits it to progressively load up to four advertised Skills. Providing selections preloads those exact versions and restricts loading to that set.
Structurally malformed selections fail pre-stream with `422 invalid_skill_selection`. Catalog-rejected selections (missing, unauthorized, or version-mismatched) resolve during in-stream Turn opening and surface as a stream `error` chunk with the generic message `Invalid Skill selection`. Both paths avoid revealing hidden catalog entries.
### Streaming contract
The response opens the AI SDK UI message stream immediately instead of holding headers until preparation finishes. Transport `200` no longer implies a successful Turn; the Run id lives in the `start` chunk metadata.
While the Turn claim and preparation resolve, the server emits a transient `data-status` chunk:
```json theme={null}
{
"type": "data-status",
"data": { "phase": "preparation", "status": "running", "message": null },
"transient": true
}
```
Fleet re-emits this chunk every `runtime.heartbeat_seconds` (configured in `config/fleet.toml`) until `coordinator.open` completes. Prelude chunks are client-facing keep-alives only; they never enter durable Turn history or the event log and may repeat.
After opening, exactly one of three closings applies:
* **Success** streams Runtime Events, ends with `finish`, then `[DONE]`.
* **Claim or preparation failures** close the stream with `error` + `finish` chunks that map to the same messages the old prepare-before-headers boundary surfaced as HTTP statuses (`Session not found`, `A Turn is already running`, `Idempotency key input mismatch`, `Invalid Skill selection`, `Turn preparation timed out`, `Turn is unavailable`, `Invalid request`), then `[DONE]`.
* **Run cancellation** ends the live stream with one terminal `abort` chunk and nothing after it. No `finish`, no `data-usage`, no checkpoint metadata.
Once cancellation settlement completes, the cancelled attempt persists a bounded tombstone in committed history so `GET /api/sessions/{session_id}/turns` shows the attempt: the original user input plus one assistant message carrying only a `cancelled` `data-status` part, observed usage, and the closed text `Turn cancelled`. Cancelled tombstones never contain reasoning, code, output, or Tool evidence parts.
### Example
```bash theme={null}
SESSION=$(curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/sessions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"title": "hello"}' | jq -r .id)
curl -N -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/sessions/$SESSION/turns" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
-d '{
"text": "Summarize the workspace README.",
"skill_selections": [
{ "id": "workspace-files", "expected_version": "1.0.0" }
]
}'
```
## Run cancellation
`PUT /api/runs/{run_id}/cancellation` requests durable cancellation of an owned Run. The active stream closes with a single `abort` chunk. Fleet writes a bounded tombstone after settlement so history remains consistent.
## Files API
`GET /api/files`, `GET /api/files/stat`, `GET /api/files/content`, `PUT /api/files/content`, `POST /api/files/append`, `PATCH /api/files/content`, and `DELETE /api/files/content` operate on the process-local Workspace `files/` root. Callers cannot select a Workspace or address Daytona Volume, mount, Sandbox, Attachment, Artifact, Session, or Run identifiers through this API.
The Files API has no rename operation and accepts an optional current SHA-256 on overwrite, append, delete, and patch. Stale preconditions return `409`.
* `DELETE /api/files/content` removes one file or one empty directory. Non-empty directories return `409`.
* `PATCH /api/files/content` applies one unique find/replace whose `old` text must occur exactly once. Absent or ambiguous matches return `409`. The response returns the fresh content checksum for precondition chaining.
## Attachments and Artifacts
`POST /api/attachments` uploads one durable Attachment and returns its id for future Turn requests.
`GET /api/artifacts/{artifact_id}` and `GET /api/artifacts/{artifact_id}/content` return committed metadata and verified bytes. There is no `POST /api/artifacts`. Artifacts become public only when the host-mediated `create_artifact` produces a private candidate that is then promoted through Turn Commit.
## Volume tree
`GET /api/volume/tree` (Daytona only) returns a bounded, read-only view of relative paths within the mounted Workspace Volume. It is a process-local logical view, not a general-purpose Sandbox filesystem browser.
## Skills
`GET /api/skills` returns bounded Skill Cards for the five bundled system Skills (`data-analysis`, `dspy-rlm`, `long-context`, `report-builder`, `workspace-files`). `GET /api/skills/{skill_id}` returns one Skill Card by id.
Selecting a Skill on a Turn preloads that exact `expected_version` and restricts progressive `load_skill` calls to the authorized set.
## Health probes
`GET /health` and `GET /health/ready` are public probes for orchestrators, supervisors, and load balancers. Neither probe requires an identity header, a loopback client, or an existing Session.
`GET /health` answers liveness while the process serves HTTP, even before [startup composition](/fleet-rlm/concepts/architecture) wires the runtime inventory. It performs no dependency checks and returns the application name and version:
```json theme={null}
{ "status": "ok", "app": "fleet-rlm", "version": "0.7.5" }
```
`GET /health/ready` answers readiness. Before startup composition installs, it returns `503` with the closed `service_not_ready` error envelope:
```json theme={null}
{ "code": "service_not_ready", "message": "Service is not ready" }
```
Once composed, it probes the configured database with one bounded `SELECT 1` round-trip and returns `200`:
```json theme={null}
{ "status": "ready", "database": "ok" }
```
When no database URL is set, `database` reports `"not_configured"` and the probe still returns `200`. An unreachable configured database degrades readiness back to the same `service_not_ready` `503`.
Point orchestrator liveness checks at `/health` to detect a dead process, and readiness checks at `/health/ready` to hold traffic until the database answers:
```bash theme={null}
curl -i http://127.0.0.1:8000/health
curl -i http://127.0.0.1:8000/health/ready
```
## Local settings
`GET /api/settings` and `PATCH /api/settings` read and revision-update the non-secret `config/fleet.toml` policy. This endpoint rejects any non-loopback client β including when the main API is bound to another interface β and never reads or returns `.env` values, provider credentials, or database URLs. Saved policy applies only after Fleet is restarted.
Every `PATCH` carries the `revision` returned by the last read. If the file changed since that read, Fleet rejects the request with `409` `settings_revision_conflict`; reload and retry. The request body takes one of three shapes:
* **Batch update** β an `updates` array of set or reset operations, with an optional `default_profile`. Fleet validates the whole batch against every profile and writes it atomically; either every operation lands or none do. An operation with `unset: true` removes a profile override so the field inherits the `[defaults]` value again (defaults themselves cannot be reset).
* **Single field** β `scope`, `path`, and `value` update one policy field.
* **Profile selection** β `profile` writes `config.default_profile` for the next restart.
```bash theme={null}
curl -X PATCH http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/settings \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"revision": "",
"updates": [
{"scope": "defaults", "path": "rlm.max_iters", "value": 24},
{"scope": "daytona-recursive", "path": "rlm.verbose", "unset": true}
]
}'
```

# fleet-rlm Python entry points
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/reference/python-api
Reference for the maintained fleet-rlm Python entry points: FastAPI factory, CLI, standalone backend command, and Daytona snapshot builder.
Fleet is delivered as a backend service plus a terminal client. The maintained public surface is the [HTTP + SSE API](/fleet-rlm/reference/http-api) and the [CLI](/fleet-rlm/reference/cli). This page documents the small Python surface exposed for embedding and scripting.
There is no maintained public runtime library. Modules under `src/fleet_rlm/` (`api`, `chat`, `rlm`, `daytona`, `sessions`, `persistence`, `composition`) are internal ownership boundaries and change without notice. When the docs disagree with the code, trust the code.
## Application factory
Fleet exposes one FastAPI factory. The default composition inventory comes from the profile selected in `config/fleet.toml`.
```python theme={null}
from fleet_rlm.api.app import create_app
app = create_app()
```
`create_app()`:
* Verifies the installed DSPy is exactly `3.3.1` before any other startup work, raising `UncertifiedDSpyVersionError` otherwise.
* Builds the FastAPI application.
* Installs handlers and routers.
* Eagerly constructs the immutable bundled Skill catalog.
FastAPI lifespan validates settings and installs one complete Daytona (or explicitly injected private-test) runtime inventory. Lifespan owns startup rollback and shutdown.
## Console-script entry points
These are the packaged commands. Each is thin glue over Click or the FastAPI factory.
| Command | Module | Purpose |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `fleet` | `fleet_rlm.cli.entry:cli` | Operator CLI. `cli`, `web`, `doctor`, `settings`, `skills` subcommands. |
| `fleet-rlm` | `fleet_rlm.cli.serve:serve_api` | Standalone backend launcher, plus `daytona-snapshot`. |
| `fleet-doctor` | `fleet_rlm.cli.doctor:main` | Bounded diagnostics. |
| `fleet-rlm-daytona-snapshot` | `fleet_rlm.cli.serve:daytona_snapshot` | Build or refresh the Daytona base snapshot. |
See the [CLI reference](/fleet-rlm/reference/cli) for their flags and semantics.
## Programmatic backend startup
To embed the backend inside another Python process, call the FastAPI factory and hand it to your ASGI server. Loopback binding stays enforced through the CLI layer; when embedding, enforce network exposure at your ASGI server or reverse proxy.
```python theme={null}
import uvicorn
from fleet_rlm.api.app import create_app
if __name__ == "__main__":
uvicorn.run(create_app(), host="127.0.0.1", port=8000, log_config=None)
```
The lifespan probe still requires `config/fleet.toml` with an explicit `[config] default_profile` and every environment variable referenced by that profile. The database must already be at the Alembic head; startup does not run migrations.
## Sandbox-serializable inputs
`dspy.RLM` receives large inputs through DSPy's own `SandboxSerializable` contract (DSPy 3.3.1). Fleet-owned host code builds these values on the Fleet Root's behalf. They are host-constructed under strict local validation and are not part of a public Python-integration surface.
Custom Skill Signatures see only JSON-compatible common input fields. If you are authoring a Skill, define your Signature against the shipped common input contract; do not import Fleet-internal capsule classes.
## Import verification
Verify the small maintained entry points import cleanly against the installed distribution:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python -c "from fleet_rlm.api.app import create_app"
uv run python -c "from fleet_rlm.cli.entry import cli"
uv run python -c "from fleet_rlm.cli.serve import serve_api"
```

# fleet-rlm security model
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/fleet-rlm/reference/security
Threat model, secret hygiene, bind safety, filesystem and upload protections, SSRF defenses, and sandbox containment for the fleet-rlm backend.
`fleet-rlm` is a single-operator, bring-your-own-key (BYOK) backend with no authentication surface of its own. The design keeps secrets out of every API response, binds the service to loopback by default, runs all model-generated code inside a Daytona Sandbox, and bounds or validates everything that crosses the host boundary.
Report vulnerabilities by email to `contact@qredence.ai`, following the process in the repository's `SECURITY.md`. Do not open public issues for vulnerabilities.
## Threat model
The assumed attacker is whoever or whatever can reach an exposed Fleet process or feed content into it: a malicious URL fetched by a Tool, a crafted filename in an upload, or model-generated code that tries to touch the host. The defender boundary is the host process plus your own Daytona account.
Multi-tenant isolation is out of scope by design: one process, one operator, one Workspace namespace. If you expose Fleet beyond loopback, put your own auth layer in front of it. See [Deployment](/fleet-rlm/guides/deployment) for the reverse-proxy pattern.
## Secrets and error hygiene
* `config/fleet.toml` profiles name environment variables. Fleet resolves only the variables the selected profile explicitly references. Unreferenced ambient variables never reach provider clients, and ambient selectors (`FLEET_CONFIG_PROFILE`, `FLEET_RUN_ENVIRONMENT`) are ignored.
* Fleet sanitizes public API errors. Run preparation, startup, and provider failures return closed public messages, never raw exception text, stack traces, or credentials. Typed validation errors carry fixed public strings; unknown failures collapse to generic `503` responses such as "Attachment storage is unavailable".
* Tool event views are fail-closed allowlists. Fleet projects only declared bounded metadata onto SSE, traces, and the pi-tui timeline; structural values are capped at 256 characters, and a Tool without a declared view exposes no arguments or results at all.
## No-auth local API and bind safety
The local API accepts no `Authorization` header and no synthetic identity headers. Fleet installs one deterministic process-local scope with fixed user and workspace ids, and the settings API rejects non-loopback clients.
Because there is no auth, binding matters. Every launcher rejects a non-loopback bind host unless you pass `--allow-non-loopback-bind` deliberately. Fleet raises the error at bind time, which prevents casually exposing Sessions, Workspace operations, and BYOK model execution on a network interface.
## Filesystem and upload protections
* Attachment filenames are sanitized before storage: Fleet rejects path-shaped input (`/`, `\`, `..`) before basename extraction, requires names to match a 255-character allowlist, and refuses hidden dotfiles. Fleet caps uploads at 10 MiB and rejects empty or negative sizes.
* Session Workspace paths must be relative POSIX paths with no `\`, NUL, or relative components. A reserved `.fleet` segment is refused, and paths are bounded at 8 segments, 255 bytes per segment, and 1,024 bytes total. Validation is lexical, without filesystem normalization, so no symlink or canonicalization trick can widen a path.
* Mutating Workspace Tools (`delete_workspace_path`, `edit_workspace_text`, and the project-scoped pairs) target regular files and empty directories only, never follow symlinks, and fail closed on FIFOs and other non-regular nodes. Optional `expected_sha256` preconditions guard writes, edits, and deletes against clobbering content that changed since it was read. The compare-and-mutate happens inside one mounted Workspace Agent operation with inode revalidation, which closes the cross-sandbox time-of-check/time-of-use (TOCTOU) window.
## URL fetch SSRF defenses
The public-URL source Tool stays behind the host with layered bounds against server-side request forgery (SSRF):
* Before any bytes move, Fleet resolves the host and requires every resolved address to be globally routable, rejecting loopback, private, and link-local targets.
* Fleet caps redirects at 3 and re-canonicalizes the URL on each hop.
* Fleet bounds fetches with a 10-second timeout, 64 KiB read chunks, an allowlist of text media types, and per-response byte caps.
* The session source cache is bounded at 64 entries and 64 MiB total, and the HTTP client does not inherit ambient proxy settings.
## Memory and Skill injection guardrails
Each Workspace Memory record in `memory/MEMORIES.md` gets one addressable id. Duplicates fail closed, and `remember` is idempotent for the same record, so a model cannot corrupt the log by replaying appends. Each Turn receives only a bounded 4 KiB memory digest.
Bundled Skills can supply the model instructions and manifest-declared UTF-8 resources through `load_skill` and `read_skill_resource` only. Skills can never register executable Tools, so a Skill document is not a code-execution vector. See the [agent model](/fleet-rlm/concepts/agent-model) for the Skill catalog.
## Sandbox and dependency containment
All `dspy.RLM`-generated code executes inside a Daytona Sandbox interpreter, not on the host. The host only wraps bounded Tools and observes the interpreter boundary.
On the dependency side, `pyproject.toml` pins `litellm>=1.87.0` above releases affected by known CVEs, floors `aiohttp` and `urllib3` at patched releases, and `make check-security` runs `pip-audit` plus `bandit -lll`. Application code reaches LLMs only through `dspy.LM`, never through litellm directly.
## What fleet-rlm does not do
* No user authentication or authorization model anywhere in the API. Identity is the single local scope, and remote access is explicitly not provided.
* Secrets live in environment variables only. There is no secret store and no encrypted config. The settings API can edit non-secret policy but can never read back or inject a referenced secret value.
* No multi-tenant network defense. Everything above assumes loopback plus an operator-provided auth layer if the bind is widened.

# API reference
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/gepa-omni/api-reference
The two GEPA Omni API layers: the published gepa optimize_anything engine and the plugin wrapper run_optimization and run_omni entry points.
There are two intentionally distinct API layers:
1. The published `gepa==0.1.4` package exposes the standalone reflective `optimize_anything()` engine.
2. This plugin exposes `run_optimization()` and `run_omni()` for the native AutoResearch, Meta-Harness, Best-of-N, and two-phase Omni workflows.
The native runtime is checked in under `scripts/native_omni/` and is independent of the installed GEPA package.
## Mental model
`optimize_anything` is black-box optimization over a candidate. The evaluator returns a higher-is-better score plus optional feedback; the search engine uses that feedback to propose and select candidates. A budget bounds evaluator calls and, for agentic plugin engines, model-token spend.
The direct PyPI API has no top-level `engine=` selector β it is the reflective GEPA engine. Engine selection belongs to the plugin wrapper: `gepa` means the PyPI reflective engine, and `autoresearch`, `meta_harness`, and `best_of_n` mean plugin-native engines.
## Published PyPI GEPA API
```python theme={null}
from gepa.optimize_anything import GEPAConfig, optimize_anything
result = optimize_anything(
seed_candidate="candidate text",
evaluator=evaluate,
batch_evaluator=None,
dataset=dataset,
valset=valset,
objective="Improve the candidate against the evaluator.",
background="Optional context for a seedless run.",
config=GEPAConfig(...),
)
```
`seed_candidate` may be a string, a named component mapping, or `None` when the engine can bootstrap from `objective` and `background`. Examples in `dataset` and `valset` are opaque values passed to the evaluator. The direct PyPI call has no `test_set` parameter.
### Config
```python theme={null}
import os
from gepa.optimize_anything import EngineConfig, GEPAConfig, ReflectionConfig
config = GEPAConfig(
engine=EngineConfig(
max_metric_calls=300,
max_workers=16,
run_dir="/tmp/gepa-run",
),
reflection=ReflectionConfig(
reflection_lm=os.environ["OPENAI_MODEL"],
reflection_minibatch_size=5,
),
)
```
| Field | Purpose |
| --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `EngineConfig.max_metric_calls` | Cap on evaluation calls. |
| `EngineConfig.max_workers` / `parallel` | Proposal concurrency. |
| `EngineConfig.max_reflection_cost` | Optional cap on reflection spend. |
| `GEPAConfig.stop_callbacks` | Score-based or other stopping policies. |
| `EngineConfig.run_dir` | GEPA state and diagnostics. PyPI 0.1.4 has no direct `output_dir` argument. |
Unknown or misspelled fields raise `TypeError`. Do not pass the plugin wrapper's `max_evals`, `max_token_cost`, `engine_config`, or `output_dir` fields to this direct API.
## Evaluator and data splits
```python theme={null}
def evaluate(candidate: str, example) -> tuple[float, dict]:
output = run_system(candidate, example)
score = grade(output, example)
return score, {
"output": output,
"expected": example.get("gold"),
"error": example.get("error"),
}
```
Use `evaluator(candidate)` for a single task and `evaluator(candidate, example)` with `dataset` or `valset`. A bare float is accepted, but `(score, info)` gives the proposer useful failure details.
`batch_evaluator` accepts a list of `(candidate, example)` pairs and returns one score or `(score, info)` per pair in order. The plugin-native evaluation server applies the same normalization and enforces batch cardinality.
| Mode | Configuration | Selection behavior |
| -------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| Single-task | `dataset=None, valset=None` | Solve one hard problem. |
| Multi-task | `dataset=[...]` | Score and select on the shared dataset. |
| Generalization | `dataset=[...], valset=[...]` | Optimize on `dataset`, select on `valset`. |
For the plugin wrapper, put held-out examples in `task["test_set"]`. They are never exposed through the native agent task endpoint or passed to Phase 1. The wrapper scores them after optimization and may expose `metadata["test_score"]` and `metadata["test_scores"]`.
## Plugin wrapper
```python theme={null}
from omni_pipeline import run_optimization
result = run_optimization(
"candidate text",
task={
"evaluator": evaluate,
"dataset": trainset,
"valset": valset,
"test_set": heldout,
"objective": "Improve the candidate.",
},
engine="autoresearch",
max_evals=100,
max_token_cost=5.0,
run_dir="/tmp/gepa-native-run",
output_dir="/tmp/gepa-native-output",
agent_backend="codex",
)
```
`engine="gepa"` routes to PyPI `gepa==0.1.4` and requires its nested `GEPAConfig` contract. The other explicit engines are plugin-native and use a shared `Task`, `BudgetTracker`, and external evaluation workspace. Omitting `engine` selects `run_omni()`.
All wrapper `run_dir` and `output_dir` paths must be absolute and outside the checkout. `sandbox=False` is rejected at the wrapper boundary.
## `run_omni`
```python theme={null}
from omni_pipeline import run_omni
result = run_omni(
seed_candidate,
task=task,
max_evals=40,
max_token_cost=20.0,
run_dir="/tmp/omni-run",
output_dir="/tmp/omni-output",
continuation_engine="gepa",
)
```
See [Omni workflow](/gepa-omni/omni-workflow) for phase boundaries, budget partitioning, and continuation options.
# Engines and backends
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/gepa-omni/engines
The four GEPA Omni engines: GEPA, AutoResearch, Meta-Harness, and Best-of-N, plus the shared OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions runtime.
GEPA Omni ships four engines behind one evaluator contract. The `gepa` engine is the PyPI reflective engine; the other three are plugin-native and use a shared `Task`, `BudgetTracker`, and external evaluation workspace.
## Comparison
| Engine | Search behavior | Local runtime |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `gepa` | Reflects on evaluator feedback, mutates candidates, and keeps a Pareto frontier. | PyPI `gepa==0.1.4` standalone engine with the external Chat Completions proposer. |
| `autoresearch` | Long-horizon experiment loop with Ralph-style continuation. | Plugin-native engine; backend labels select the shared Chat Completions runner. |
| `meta_harness` | Proposes candidates while the framework evaluates and selects them. | Plugin-native engine with fresh agent sessions by default. |
| `best_of_n` | Samples independent candidates and keeps the best. | Plugin-native comparison baseline. |
Omit `engine` to run the default [Omni workflow](/gepa-omni/omni-workflow), or pass one of these values to `run_optimization()` to compare a single engine head-to-head.
## Shared Chat Completions runtime
All engines call the same OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint. The historical Codex names remain public compatibility surfaces, but model calls no longer invoke a provider CLI. `CodexAgentProposer` and the native agent engines use `OpenAIChatCompletionRunner` underneath.
Configure the endpoint once:
```bash theme={null}
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1"
export OPENAI_MODEL="your-model"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```
`OPENAI_MODEL` is authoritative. Legacy `agent_model`, `codex_model`, and backend command parameters remain accepted for source compatibility but do not select a different provider or executable.
## Read-only GEPA proposer
`CodexAgentProposer` implements:
```python theme={null}
proposer(
candidate,
reflective_dataset,
components_to_update,
*,
metadata=None,
) -> dict[str, str]
```
Each call creates a unique external diagnostics directory containing the candidate, reflective data, requested component names, request, response, usage, and validation errors. The request is a JSON Chat Completions call with `response_format={"type": "json_object"}`. The response must contain `new_texts` with exactly the requested keys and string values.
Pass `input_cost_per_million`, `output_cost_per_million`, and `max_token_cost` when a PyPI GEPA run is cost-bounded. `sandbox=False` is rejected, and the plugin checkout is never used for proposal artifacts.
## Native agent runner
The production native runner is `OpenAIChatCompletionRunner`:
```python theme={null}
from native_omni import OpenAIChatCompletionRunner
runner = OpenAIChatCompletionRunner(backend="codex", timeout_seconds=600)
result = runner.run(
prompt,
work_dir="/tmp/gepa-native-workspace",
max_token_cost=5.0,
)
```
The runner retains Chat Completions message history for AutoResearch continuations, records usage and cost, and writes the raw response to the external workspace. The model receives text and JSON in the request. It does not receive local shell or filesystem tools. `sandbox=True` is mandatory at the wrapper boundary, and external `run_dir` and `output_dir` paths are always required.
`CodexAgentRunner` is retained only for callers that directly depend on the old subprocess class. The plugin pipeline does not construct it.
## Parallelism
For GEPA PΓN proposal sampling, pass `gepa_parallel_proposals=(parents, mutations)` with a suitable `max_concurrency`. Omitting it retains the sequential one-worker configuration.
`EngineConfig.max_workers` and `parallel` control proposal concurrency for the PyPI reflective engine.
## Preflight per engine
Preflight is non-interactive and does not send a prompt unless `--test-lm` is supplied:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python skills/gepa-omni-skill/scripts/preflight.py --engine codex
uv run python skills/gepa-omni-skill/scripts/preflight.py \
--engine autoresearch --agent-backend codex \
--codex-input-cost-per-million 2 \
--codex-output-cost-per-million 8
```
Preflight validates the pinned PyPI GEPA API where relevant, the native Chat Completions runner, and all three `OPENAI_*` variables.
# Gotchas and pitfalls
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/gepa-omni/gotchas
Pitfalls to read before any real GEPA Omni run: reward hacking, selection bias, stochastic defaults, budget sizing, and stop conditions.
Every backend optimizes exactly the score and feedback your evaluator returns. Read the whole list before a real run.
## Reward hacking
A weak proxy gets gamed. A correctness-only score can reward a code candidate that wraps a reference implementation while doing none of the work that matters. Gate the score on validity and correctness, then increase it only for the real objective. Sanity-check the winning candidate against the actual goal, not only the reported score.
See [Writing evaluators](/gepa-omni/writing-evaluators#reward-hacking-resistant-scoring) for the gated-score pattern.
## Selection bias and winner's curse
In generalization mode, the selected candidate is the maximum among candidates scored on `valset`. A small or noisy validation set makes that maximum optimistic. Use a representative `valset` and average N samples inside the evaluator when the system is stochastic.
`test_set` does not reduce selection bias β it is reporting-only β but it gives an honest held-out number to report.
## Stochastic evaluation defaults to N=1
The evaluator is called once per (candidate, example) pair by default. For a temperature-bearing model, that is a single-sample estimate. Average multiple samples inside `evaluate` and return sample details in `info`. Budget for the extra calls.
## Candidate shape depends on the boundary
Direct PyPI `optimize_anything()` accepts a string, a named component mapping, or `None`. The plugin wrapper `run_optimization()` accepts a string seed. Custom proposers return `dict[str, str]` at their separate component boundary.
## The default budget may be too small
For direct PyPI GEPA, `EngineConfig.max_metric_calls` caps evaluation calls β not meaningful proposal rounds. For the `gepa` backend, size it roughly as:
```text theme={null}
generalization: max_metric_calls β³ 15β20 Γ len(valset)
multi-task: max_metric_calls β³ 15β20 Γ len(dataset)
single-task: max_metric_calls β³ 15β20
```
Every candidate is scored on the full selection set. If a run stops after one proposal, increase the budget. PyPI config uses `EngineConfig.max_reflection_cost` for reflection spend; the plugin-native Omni wrapper separately accepts `max_token_cost`.
## Give every run a real stop condition
Use `GEPAConfig.stop_callbacks` whenever the metric has a known ceiling such as accuracy or pass rate. If evaluation caching is enabled, `max_metric_calls` counts cache misses, so a converged run can continue proposing without consuming evaluation budget. A score stop, a token cap, and a process timeout then become essential.
## PyPI configuration is nested and strict
PyPI 0.1.4 uses `GEPAConfig(engine=EngineConfig(...), reflection=ReflectionConfig(...))`. An unknown, misspelled, or stale key raises `TypeError` at construction. It does not accept top-level `engine=`, `engine_config`, `max_evals`, `max_token_cost`, or `output_dir`.
## Saturated signals return the seed
The GEPA backend learns from examples the seed gets wrong. If the seed already scores at the ceiling on the selected examples, proposals may be rejected and the seed returned unchanged. This is not necessarily a failed run: add hard examples with real failure feedback, inspect accepted proposals, or compare against `best_of_n`, which does not use the same reflective acceptance gate.
## Evaluator exceptions abort by default
`EngineConfig.raise_on_exception` defaults to `True`. Catch expected failures and return a low score with `info["error"]` or detailed `error_*` fields so the proposer can learn from them. If appropriate, set `raise_on_exception=False` to convert exceptions to score `0.0`. Do not hide unexpected failures behind a success-shaped result.
# Introduction to GEPA Omni
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/gepa-omni/introduction
GEPA Omni packages the GEPA Anything optimization stack as an Agent Plugins 1.0 plugin, running four engines behind one evaluator contract.
GEPA Omni optimizes any scorable text artifact β prompts, programs, configurations, schemas, SQL, regular expressions, plans, or agent instructions β from plain evaluator feedback. It ships the reflective GEPA engine from PyPI plus three plugin-native engines (AutoResearch, Meta-Harness, Best-of-N) and runs them together in a two-phase **Omni** workflow.
## Why GEPA Omni
Write a function that scores a candidate and explains why it failed. The engines handle mutation, selection, and budgeting.
GEPA, AutoResearch, Meta-Harness, and Best-of-N all run against the same candidate, data, and budget.
Phase 1 explores with three engines in parallel; Phase 2 continues the best candidate with a fresh optimizer.
Ships as an Agent Plugins 1.0 manifest plus a Codex compatibility manifest, so any compatible coding agent can install and drive it.
## Names
The repository is `fleet-gepa-omni`, the installable plugin is `gepa-omni`, and the shipped skill is `gepa-omni-skill`. These are separate identities by design.
## Install with Codex
Add the GitHub repository as a Codex marketplace, then install the plugin:
```bash theme={null}
codex plugin marketplace add Qredence/gepa-omni
codex plugin add gepa-omni@Qredence
```
Start a new Codex task after installation so the skill loads, then invoke it by naming the skill and describing the candidate and evaluator:
```text theme={null}
Use $gepa-omni-skill to improve this prompt against my evaluator. Preserve the
output format and report the held-out score separately.
```
## How Omni works
Omni is the default workflow. Three isolated exploration engines run against the same candidate, objective, evaluator, and selection data. The best Phase 1 candidate is handed to a fresh Phase 2 continuation β GEPA by default. Set `continuation_engine` to `autoresearch` or `meta_harness` to continue natively instead.
Key boundaries:
* `test_set` is withheld from every Phase 1 branch and scored only by the final Phase 2 run.
* Omni requires an explicit positive `max_evals` and/or `max_token_cost`. The total is split into four balanced slices (three explorations plus one continuation), so an evaluation-only run needs at least four evaluations.
* Omni is orchestration, not a public `engine="omni"` value. Omit the engine override for the default workflow, or select a standalone engine to compare.
* Keep `run_dir` and `output_dir` outside the checkout whenever an engine needs a workspace or writes diagnostics.
## The evaluator contract
GEPA Omni optimizes whatever your evaluator returns: a higher-is-better score plus feedback that explains why a candidate failed.
```python theme={null}
def evaluate(candidate: str, example) -> tuple[float, dict]:
output = run_system(candidate, example)
score = grade(output, example)
return score, {
"output": output,
"expected": example.get("gold"),
"error": example.get("error"),
}
```
Return failures, diffs, outputs, and partial-credit details in `info`. A bare float gives the proposer little direction. For stochastic systems, average multiple samples inside the evaluator and include the sample diagnostics.
Launch directly against the pinned PyPI API:
```python theme={null}
import os
from gepa.optimize_anything import EngineConfig, GEPAConfig, ReflectionConfig, optimize_anything
result = optimize_anything(
seed_candidate="candidate text",
evaluator=evaluate,
dataset=dataset,
valset=valset,
objective="Improve the candidate against the evaluator.",
config=GEPAConfig(
engine=EngineConfig(max_metric_calls=100, run_dir="external-runs/example"),
reflection=ReflectionConfig(reflection_lm=os.environ["OPENAI_MODEL"]),
),
)
```
Data arguments:
| Input | Role |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `dataset` | Examples used for multi-task optimization. |
| `valset` | Representative selection and generalization examples. |
| `test_set` | Sealed, reporting-only examples for the final score. |
The direct PyPI `optimize_anything()` signature has no `test_set` argument and does not produce held-out-score metadata. The plugin wrapper `run_optimization(..., engine="gepa")` may accept `task["test_set"]` and score it after the run. Report that wrapper result separately from the selection score.
## Engines and backends
| Engine | Search behavior | Local runtime |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `gepa` | Reflects on evaluator feedback, mutates candidates, and keeps a Pareto frontier. | PyPI `gepa==0.1.4` standalone engine with the external Chat Completions proposer. |
| `autoresearch` | Long-horizon experiment loop with Ralph-style continuation. | Plugin-native engine; backend labels select the shared Chat Completions runner. |
| `meta_harness` | Proposes candidates while the framework evaluates and selects them. | Plugin-native engine with fresh agent sessions by default. |
| `best_of_n` | Samples independent candidates and keeps the best. | Plugin-native comparison baseline. |
All engines use the same OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. Configure the endpoint, model, and key once before launching:
```bash theme={null}
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1"
export OPENAI_MODEL="your-model"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```
`agent_backend` remains a compatibility label (`codex`, `pi`, or `claude`) kept in runtime and session metadata. `OPENAI_MODEL` is authoritative, and the three `OPENAI_*` variables are used for every model call.
For GEPA PΓN proposal sampling, pass `gepa_parallel_proposals=(parents, mutations)` with a suitable `max_concurrency`. Omitting it retains the sequential one-worker configuration.
## Requirements
* Python 3.10 or newer.
* [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for repository development.
* The published [`gepa[full]==0.1.4`](https://pypi.org/project/gepa/0.1.4/) environment for standalone `gepa` and the reflective integration.
* `OPENAI_BASE_URL`, `OPENAI_MODEL`, and `OPENAI_API_KEY` for an OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint.
* Both input and output USD-per-million token rates when using `max_token_cost`.
Preflight checks the shared API configuration and native runtime before a live run. It never prompts for configuration or performs a model call unless `--test-lm` is explicitly supplied:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python skills/gepa-omni-skill/scripts/preflight.py \
--engine omni \
--max-token-cost 5 \
--codex-input-cost-per-million 2 \
--codex-output-cost-per-million 8
```
## Packaging
GEPA Omni is packaged twice from the same tracked content:
* `plugin.json` β the portable [Agent Plugins 1.0](https://agent-plugins.org/) manifest.
* `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` β the OpenAI/Codex compatibility manifest.
* `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` β marketplace metadata, which lets the GitHub repository itself act as a plugin marketplace.
* `skills/gepa-omni-skill/` β the shared payload (instructions, references, scripts, and the native runtime) referenced by both manifests.
`tools/stage_plugin.py` builds deployable bundles from a development checkout: `--format portable` emits `plugin.json` + `skills/` + `LICENSE`, and `--format codex` emits `.codex-plugin/` + `skills/` + `LICENSE`.

# Omni workflow
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/gepa-omni/omni-workflow
How the Omni two-phase workflow orchestrates GEPA, AutoResearch, and Meta-Harness, partitions its budget, and hands off the Phase 1 winner.
Omni is the plugin's default orchestration layer. It runs the standalone `gepa==0.1.4` PyPI reflective engine beside the plugin-native AutoResearch and Meta-Harness engines, picks the strongest Phase 1 candidate, and starts a fresh Phase 2 continuation. The plugin-native `best_of_n` engine is the independent comparison baseline for standalone runs.
`omni` is a preflight target and workflow mode, not a public PyPI `engine=` value.
## Phases
```text theme={null}
seed + evaluator
|
+--> Phase 1: gepa (PyPI reflective engine)
+--> Phase 1: autoresearch (plugin-native)
+--> Phase 1: meta_harness (plugin-native)
|
best Phase 1 candidate
|
Phase 2: fresh continuation (gepa by default)
|
candidate + scores + held-out report
```
All Phase 1 branches share the same seed, objective, evaluator, dataset, and selection `valset`. `test_set` is removed from every Phase 1 task and used only for final held-out scoring by the continuation or wrapper. Phase 2 starts a new external `run_dir` and `output_dir` rather than resuming a Phase 1 branch.
## Launch
```python theme={null}
from omni_pipeline import run_omni
result = run_omni(
seed_candidate,
task=task,
max_evals=40,
max_token_cost=20.0,
run_dir="/tmp/omni-run",
output_dir="/tmp/omni-output",
continuation_engine="gepa",
)
```
## Budget partitioning
The total evaluation and token budgets are divided into three exploration slices and one continuation slice. Evaluation remainders go to the continuation.
* An explicit positive `max_evals` and/or `max_token_cost` is required.
* When `max_evals` is the only bound, at least four evaluations are needed so every phase receives a positive slice.
* Use a standalone engine when the budget cannot support four phases.
## Continuation choices
The default continuation is `gepa`, which uses the PyPI reflective engine and the read-only Chat Completions proposer. Set `continuation_engine="autoresearch"` or `continuation_engine="meta_harness"` to use a plugin-native agent continuation.
Standalone `run_optimization(..., engine=...)` bypasses Omni and receives the full supplied budget.
## Backend and model selection
```bash theme={null}
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1"
export OPENAI_MODEL="your-model"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```
`agent_backend` remains a compatibility label for `codex`, `pi`, or `claude`. `OPENAI_MODEL` is authoritative for every branch. There is no provider-specific model or CLI login resolution.
The wrapper also preserves `codex_command`, `pi_command`, `codex_timeout_seconds`, `codex_input_cost_per_million`, `codex_output_cost_per_million`, `max_concurrency`, `gepa_parallel_proposals`, and `stop_at_score`. Codex input and output rates are required together when a Codex token cap is configured.
## Runtime prerequisites
Run the local preflight before a real Omni run:
```bash theme={null}
python3 skills/gepa-omni-skill/scripts/preflight.py --engine omni
python3 skills/gepa-omni-skill/scripts/preflight.py \
--engine omni --agent-backend pi
```
Preflight verifies the published GEPA API, plugin-native runtime primitives, and the three `OPENAI_*` variables. `sandbox=False` is rejected at the wrapper boundary, and the Chat Completions model receives no local tools.
Keep every `run_dir` and `output_dir` absolute and outside the checkout. Native evaluation artifacts include per-evaluation JSON, `eval_trace.jsonl`, progress, and a serializable `result.json`.
# GEPA Omni quickstart
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/gepa-omni/quickstart
Install GEPA Omni into Codex, configure the OpenAI-compatible endpoint, run preflight, and launch your first Omni optimization.
Run your first GEPA Omni optimization in under ten minutes. This walks you from install through a preflight-checked Omni run against your own evaluator.
## Prerequisites
* Python 3.10 or newer.
* [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) if you plan to develop against the repository.
* An OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint and API key.
* The published [`gepa[full]==0.1.4`](https://pypi.org/project/gepa/0.1.4/) environment for the reflective GEPA engine.
## 1. Install the plugin
Add the GitHub repository as a Codex marketplace, then install the plugin:
```bash theme={null}
codex plugin marketplace add Qredence/gepa-omni
codex plugin add gepa-omni@Qredence
```
Start a new Codex task after installation so the skill loads.
## 2. Configure the endpoint
All engines share the same OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. Set the three variables before launching:
```bash theme={null}
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1"
export OPENAI_MODEL="your-model"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```
`OPENAI_MODEL` is authoritative for every engine and every branch of the Omni workflow. The plugin never asks for an API key in chat β configure it through the environment or a secret manager. If a model or base URL is missing, the interactive skill asks once and applies the answer to the current process only.
## 3. Run preflight
Preflight validates configuration and the native runtime without sending a prompt. Run it before every live Omni run:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python skills/gepa-omni-skill/scripts/preflight.py \
--engine omni \
--max-token-cost 5 \
--codex-input-cost-per-million 2 \
--codex-output-cost-per-million 8
```
Pass `--test-lm` only if you explicitly want to exercise the endpoint with a single call.
## 4. Write an evaluator
The evaluator is where nearly all of the quality comes from. Return a higher-is-better score and a feedback-rich `info` dict:
```python theme={null}
def evaluate(candidate: str, example) -> tuple[float, dict]:
output = run_system(candidate, example)
score = grade(output, example)
return score, {
"score": score,
"output": output,
"expected": example.get("gold"),
"error_type": example.get("error"),
}
```
See [Writing evaluators](/gepa-omni/writing-evaluators) for judge-based scoring, batching, stochastic averaging, and multi-objective scoring.
## 5. Launch Omni
Use the plugin wrapper `run_omni()` for the default two-phase workflow:
```python theme={null}
from omni_pipeline import run_omni
result = run_omni(
"candidate text",
task={
"evaluator": evaluate,
"dataset": trainset,
"valset": valset,
"test_set": heldout,
"objective": "Improve the candidate against the evaluator.",
},
max_evals=40,
max_token_cost=20.0,
run_dir="/tmp/omni-run",
output_dir="/tmp/omni-output",
continuation_engine="gepa",
)
```
Omni splits the total budget into three exploration slices plus one continuation slice. An explicit positive `max_evals` and/or `max_token_cost` is required. When `max_evals` is the only bound, provide at least four evaluations so every phase receives a positive slice.
Keep both `run_dir` and `output_dir` absolute and outside the checkout.
## 6. Read the result
Omni returns the best Phase 1 candidate handed to a fresh Phase 2 continuation, the selection score, and β when `task["test_set"]` is supplied β a held-out report in `metadata["test_score"]` and `metadata["test_scores"]`.
Report the wrapper's held-out result separately from the selection score. The direct PyPI `optimize_anything()` signature has no `test_set` argument and does not produce held-out metadata.
## Next steps
* [Omni workflow](/gepa-omni/omni-workflow) β phases, budget partitioning, and continuation choices.
* [Engines and backends](/gepa-omni/engines) β GEPA, AutoResearch, Meta-Harness, and Best-of-N.
* [Writing evaluators](/gepa-omni/writing-evaluators) β feedback-rich `info`, judges, batching, and stochastic averaging.
* [API reference](/gepa-omni/api-reference) β direct PyPI vs. plugin wrapper contracts.
* [Gotchas](/gepa-omni/gotchas) β reward hacking, selection bias, and budget sizing.
# Writing evaluators
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/gepa-omni/writing-evaluators
Turn a scoring function into feedback-rich Actionable Side Information with judge-based rubrics, batching, and reward-hacking-resistant gates.
The evaluator is where nearly all optimization quality comes from. Whichever engine you pick can only be as good as the score you compute and the feedback you return.
When the Codex proposer is selected, the returned `info` values become materialized context for a read-only Codex subprocess. Keep feedback concrete and bounded: include the failing output, expected behavior, and a focused next change β not unrelated logs.
## The contract
```python theme={null}
def evaluate(candidate: str, example) -> tuple[float, dict]:
return score, info
```
* `score: float` β **higher is better**. This is what the optimizer maximizes and selects on.
* `info: dict` β free-form feedback shown to the proposer as **Actionable Side Information (ASI)**. This is the single biggest lever on mutation quality.
* For single-task runs the signature is `evaluate(candidate)`. With `dataset` or `valset`, it is `evaluate(candidate, example)`. Returning a bare `float` also works β the wrapper normalizes it β but the proposer then gets no feedback. Always return the tuple.
## Batched form
When evaluations batch better than they stream β a provider batch API, one job submission per stage, or fan-out over your own infrastructure β write the batched form:
```python theme={null}
def batch_evaluate(pairs: list[tuple[str, Any]]) -> list:
return [score_or_score_info_tuple for candidate, example in pairs]
```
Each evaluation stage (minibatch, valset, held-out test pass) arrives as one call with all its pairs. Everything below about feedback-rich `info` applies per pair. Put diagnostics in each returned `info`. The per-call channels (`oa.log()`, `capture_stdio`) do not apply to the grouped call.
## Feedback-rich `info`
The proposer writes the next candidate by reading `info`. Give it specifics:
```python theme={null}
return score, {
"score": score,
"output": output, # what the candidate produced
"expected": example.get("gold"), # what was wanted, if available
"error_type": err_type, # compile error / wrong answer / format violation / timeout
"error_detail": traceback_or_diff,
"passed_checks": [...],
"failed_checks": [...],
}
```
Rule of thumb: if a smart human reading only `info` could tell you how to fix the candidate, the proposer LLM can too. If `info` is `{"score": 0.0}`, the search is blind.
### Built-in diagnostic channels
* **`oa.log()`.** `import gepa.optimize_anything as oa; oa.log("landing distance:", d)` inside your evaluator. Same calling convention as `print()`; output is captured per-eval (thread-safe) and auto-included in the feedback under `info["log"]`. For child threads, propagate the context via `oa.get_log_context()` and `oa.set_log_context()`.
* **`capture_stdio`.** Set `GEPAConfig(engine=EngineConfig(capture_stdio=True), ...)` and any `print()`, `stdout`, or `stderr` during evaluation lands in the feedback under `"stdout"` or `"stderr"`. This does not catch C-extension or subprocess output that bypasses Python's `sys.stdout` β route that through `oa.log()`.
## LLM-as-judge scoring
For open-ended tasks (writing quality, helpfulness, tone, rubric adherence) the evaluator can call an LLM judge and use its rating as the score, then return the written critique as feedback:
```python theme={null}
def evaluate(candidate, example):
output = run_my_model(candidate, example)
verdict = judge_lm(JUDGE_RUBRIC.format(task=example, answer=output))
score = verdict["rating"] / 10.0
return score, {
"score": score,
"output": output,
"critique": verdict["critique"],
"rubric_breakdown": verdict.get("by_criterion"),
}
```
Pin the judge (fixed model and temperature, ideally stronger than the model being optimized), give it a concrete rubric, and average a few judge calls if its ratings are noisy. The critique is often more valuable to the proposer than the number.
## Stochastic systems
The eval server calls your function once per (candidate, example) pair. There is no `samples_per_eval` knob. For a temperature > 0 model, every score becomes a single-sample estimate and candidate selection then runs on noisy numbers.
Average N samples inside `evaluate`:
```python theme={null}
def evaluate(candidate, example, N=4):
outs = [run_my_model(candidate, example) for _ in range(N)]
scores = [grade(o, example) for o in outs]
score = sum(scores) / len(scores)
return score, {"score": score, "n": N,
"samples": [{"out": o, "s": s} for o, s in zip(outs, scores)]}
```
Trade-off: NΓ more eval calls. Pick N to balance variance against `EngineConfig.max_metric_calls`.
## Multi-objective optimization
GEPA can keep an objective-level Pareto front. Return per-objective metrics under `info["scores"]` β the adapter forwards them as `objective_scores`:
```python theme={null}
return score, {
"score": score,
"scores": {"correct": correct_rate, "speedup": speedup},
...
}
```
For the GEPA engine, pass `EngineConfig(frontier_type="hybrid")` inside `GEPAConfig(engine=...)`. Hybrid is the default (instance-level and objective-level fronts combined). `"objective"`, `"instance"`, and `"cartesian"` are the alternatives. The scalar `score` still drives final selection; the per-objective scores shape the frontier that candidates are drawn from.
## Reward-hacking-resistant scoring
The optimizer maximizes exactly what you write. A correctness-only score is gameable β e.g. the optimizer learns to emit a trivial wrapper that is "correct" but does nothing useful.
Gate the score on validity and correctness, then increase it only for the real objective:
```python theme={null}
def score_fn(result):
if not (result["compiled"] and result["correct"]):
return 0.0
return f(result["speedup"]) # e.g. min(speedup / target, 1.0), monotonically increasing
```
The only way to raise the score is to be correct **and** better on what you care about. See [Gotchas](/gepa-omni/gotchas) for the full reward-hacking story.
## Determinism and robustness
* Make `evaluate` side-effect-free and resumable. It may run concurrently (`EngineConfig.max_workers`) and be retried.
* Set a seed in the GEPA engine's nested `EngineConfig(seed=0)` for reproducible search order.
* Log your own per-eval record (id, score, sub-metrics, candidate hash) for analysis. A configured `run_dir` retains GEPA's run log and state, and `oa.log()` covers in-feedback diagnostics.
* Catch and *return* failures as low scores with `info["error_*"]`, rather than raising. `EngineConfig.raise_on_exception` defaults to `True`, so an uncaught exception aborts the run. Setting it to `False` converts exceptions to score `0.0` with `info["error"]`.
# Author a Qredence plugin
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/qredence-plugins/authoring
Folder layout, Claude and Codex manifests, shared skills and agents, and the marketplace checklist for shipping a dual-target Qredence plugin bundle.
Use this repository when you want one plugin folder to be consumable by both Claude and Codex.
## Rules
1. Use `plugins//` for both installable plugin bundles and skill-library collections.
2. For installable dual-target bundles, keep the Claude manifest at `plugins//.claude-plugin/plugin.json`.
3. For installable dual-target bundles, keep the Codex manifest at `plugins//.codex-plugin/plugin.json`.
4. Keep shared bundle content at the plugin root:
* `skills/`
* `agents/`
* `.mcp.json`
* `assets/`
* `scripts/` when the plugin ships local automation
* `references/` when the plugin ships authoring or implementation guides
5. Skill-library collections may stop at `skills/` plus helpers, but they are not marketplace-ready until they also have both manifests and `.mcp.json`.
6. Keep manifest paths relative to the plugin root and start them with `./`.
## Marketplace plugin checklist
For every installable plugin bundle:
1. Pick a stable kebab-case plugin name.
2. Add both manifests.
3. Add at least one skill under `skills//SKILL.md`.
4. Add `.mcp.json`, even if it starts empty.
5. Add assets only when the plugin needs install-surface branding.
6. Add any bundled `scripts/` and `references/` directories at the plugin root when they are part of the plugin's runtime or documentation surface.
7. Add the plugin to `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` so Codex can discover it. Use a `policy.authentication` value supported by current Codex builds: `ON_INSTALL` or `ON_USE`.
8. Document at least one non-destructive validation command in the plugin README. If the plugin ships Python scripts or tests, make sure the command can be run from the repo root with `uv`.
## Validation
Run the smallest validation lane that matches the plugin you changed:
```bash theme={null}
# All Python tests
uv run pytest
# Marketplace and manifest wiring
uv run pytest tests/test_plugin_catalogue.py
# Per-plugin
uv run pytest plugins/harness-engineering/tests
uv run pytest plugins/meta-harness/tests/test_init_workspace.py
uv run pytest plugins/rlm-wiki/tests/test_bootstrap_daytona_volume.py
uv run pytest plugins/symphony/tests
```
## Included Python service plugins
`plugins/symphony` is a reference service plugin rather than only a prompt bundle. Keep its README, `references/implementation-notes.md`, and tests aligned with `scripts/symphony_service.py` whenever the Symphony workflow schema, validation lane, or safety posture changes.
## Notes on agents
Claude plugins support plugin-root `agents/` directories.
Codex plugin packaging centers on manifests, skills, apps, and MCP configuration. If you want Codex-specific agent behavior, keep the repo-level instructions and marketplace metadata clear, and model reusable workflows as skills unless you have a strong reason to introduce a platform-specific agent format.
# Use Qredence plugins in Claude Code
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/qredence-plugins/claude
Add the Qredence Plugins marketplace to Claude Code, install a plugin from GitHub, and invoke its skills and agents from inside a Claude Code session.
This repository stores Claude-compatible plugins under `plugins/`.
## Remote install
Add the marketplace from GitHub, then install a plugin from it:
```bash theme={null}
claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/Qredence/qredence-plugins
claude plugin install meta-harness@qredence-plugins
```
The current installable plugin names are `harness-engineering`, `meta-harness`, `rlm-wiki`, and `symphony`.
## Local testing
For local development or session-only testing, run Claude Code against an installable plugin directory:
```bash theme={null}
claude --plugin-dir ./plugins/meta-harness
```
After Claude Code starts, invoke the bundled skill:
```text theme={null}
/meta-harness:meta-harness
```
Other current bundle targets are `./plugins/harness-engineering`, `./plugins/rlm-wiki`, and `./plugins/symphony`, using their matching skill names.
## Packaging notes
* The Claude manifest lives at `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`.
* Keep `skills/`, `agents/`, `.mcp.json`, and `assets/` at the plugin root.
* Only directories that also have the Codex manifest and `.mcp.json` should be treated as dual-target installable bundles.
* Do not place plugin content inside `.claude-plugin/`.
# Use Qredence plugins in OpenAI Codex
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/qredence-plugins/codex
Add the Qredence Plugins Codex marketplace, install a plugin from .agents/plugins/marketplace.json, and run its skills inside an OpenAI Codex session.
This repository ships a Codex marketplace at `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`.
## Remote install
Add the marketplace from GitHub:
```bash theme={null}
codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/Qredence/qredence-plugins
```
Codex currently exposes marketplace registration in the CLI but not a `codex plugin install` subcommand. After adding the marketplace, install or enable the plugin you want from the Codex marketplace UI.
## Local testing
1. Keep each installable plugin bundle under `plugins//`.
2. Register the bundle in `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`.
3. From the repo root, start `codex` so the repo-scoped marketplace is loaded.
The current marketplace exposes:
* `harness-engineering` from `./plugins/harness-engineering`
* `meta-harness` from `./plugins/meta-harness`
* `rlm-wiki` from `./plugins/rlm-wiki`
* `symphony` from `./plugins/symphony`
## Local environment setup script
OpenAI's Codex local-environment docs say setup scripts run automatically when Codex creates a new worktree, and they should only perform bootstrap work such as dependency installation or an initial build.
For this repository, the setup step should stay minimal because the repo is Python-first, uses `uv`, and does not have a repo-level JavaScript toolchain. Use this script in Codex's **Setup script** field:
```bash theme={null}
set -euo pipefail
cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
if ! command -v uv >/dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "uv is required for qredence-plugins setup" >&2
exit 1
fi
uv sync --frozen --dev
```
Notes:
* `uv sync --frozen --dev` uses the checked-in `uv.lock` and installs the dev dependencies needed for the repo's validation commands.
* Keep environment variables in Codex settings rather than relying on `export` in the setup script β Codex runs setup in a separate shell session.
* This repo does not need a build step at worktree creation time.
## Packaging notes
* The Codex manifest lives at `.codex-plugin/plugin.json`.
* Keep manifest component paths relative to the plugin root.
* Use `skills` for skill folders and `mcpServers` for `.mcp.json`.
* Keep marketplace `source.path` values `./`-prefixed and relative to the repo root.
* Only plugin bundles with both manifests and `.mcp.json` should be registered in the marketplace. Skill-library folders under `plugins/` are not enough on their own.
* Use a `policy.authentication` value Codex currently accepts: `ON_INSTALL` or `ON_USE`.
# Introduction to Qredence Plugins
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/qredence-plugins/introduction
Qredence Plugins is a catalogue of dual-target plugins for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex β repo audits, harness optimization, research wikis, and orchestration.
**Qredence Plugins** is a catalogue of dual-target plugins that work in both **Claude Code** and **OpenAI Codex**. Each plugin gives a coding agent a specific operating mode β auditing repo readiness, optimizing evaluation harnesses, building research wikis, or orchestrating issue-driven workflows.
## Start with your goal
Use **harness-engineering** to audit repo legibility, validation, and drift controls.
Use **meta-harness** for outer-loop search across prompts, retrieval, and parsing strategies.
Use **rlm-wiki** for a Daytona-backed markdown wiki you can ingest, query, and lint.
Use **symphony** for Linear-driven Codex orchestration with isolated workspaces.
## What ships today
| Plugin | Use it for |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`harness-engineering`](/qredence-plugins/plugins/harness-engineering) | Auditing repo readiness for agents, improving guardrails, scaffolding durable repo docs |

# autoresearch-dspy plugin
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/qredence-plugins/plugins/autoresearch-dspy
Ratchet-style autonomous experiment loops built on DSPy 3.1.3, dspy.RLM, and confidence-aware classification scoring via the GEPA ConfidenceAdapter.
**autoresearch-dspy** implements a generalized AutoResearch ratchet loop using DSPy 3.1.3 and `dspy.RLM`. It applies Karpathy's autonomous experiment pattern β propose, execute, evaluate, keep or revert β generalized beyond ML to any optimizable system. Includes confidence-aware classification scoring via the GEPA `ConfidenceAdapter`.
## When to use
* Autonomous optimization loops
* Iterative experiments that keep only measured improvements
* RLM recursive context exploration
* Overnight system optimization
* The Karpathy Loop pattern
* Classification prompt optimization with confidence scoring
**Trigger phrases:** autoresearch, ratchet loop, experiment loop, optimize overnight, autonomous research, Karpathy loop, iterative optimization, self-improving code, experiment automation, confidence adapter, classification optimization.
## Core concept
The fundamental ratchet loop:
1. **Propose** a change.
2. **Execute** the experiment.
3. **Evaluate** against the chosen metric.
4. **Keep** if it measurably improves; otherwise **revert**.
Only measured improvements survive, so progress is monotonic by construction.
## Install
```bash theme={null}
gh skill install Qredence/qredence-plugins autoresearch-dspy
```
The plugin ships under `plugins/autoresearch-dspy/` with a single skill at `skills/autoresearch-dspy/SKILL.md` plus supporting scripts.
# development plugin
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/qredence-plugins/plugins/development
Skill-library plugin bundling cross-examine for plan stress-tests, data-viz-renderer for HTML and SVG charts, and skill-evaluator for scoring local skills.
**development** is a skill-library plugin that bundles three workflow-oriented skills agents can invoke during everyday repo work.
## Skills
| Skill | Use it for |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `cross-examine` | Stress-testing a plan or design by interrogating assumptions and unresolved decision branches |
| `data-viz-renderer` | Turning JSON data into self-contained HTML or SVG charts, KPI cards, infographics, and dashboards |
| `skill-evaluator` | Scoring a local skill or plugin for quality, structure, token efficiency, and next-step improvements |
### cross-examine
Triggers when the user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on a design, or says "grill me". Walks down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one at a time and asking questions in sequence.
### data-viz-renderer

# harness-engineering plugin
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/qredence-plugins/plugins/harness-engineering
Audit repository legibility, scaffold durable repo docs, and add validation lanes and drift controls so coding agents work with stronger guardrails.
Use **harness-engineering** when a repository needs clearer maps, validation lanes, and drift control. It audits repo legibility and scaffolds durable repo docs so agents can work with stronger guardrails.
Reach for [`meta-harness`](/qredence-plugins/plugins/meta-harness) instead when the goal is benchmarked `harness.py` optimization.
## Quick start
Run from the repo root:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python plugins/harness-engineering/scripts/audit_repo_harness.py --repo . --format markdown
uv run python plugins/harness-engineering/scripts/audit_repo_harness.py --repo . --format json
uv run python plugins/harness-engineering/scripts/scaffold_harness_docs.py --repo . --dry-run
uv run python plugins/harness-engineering/scripts/scaffold_harness_docs.py --repo . --write
```
In Claude Code:
```bash theme={null}
claude --plugin-dir ./plugins/harness-engineering
/harness-engineering:harness-engineering
```
## When to reach for meta-harness
* You are optimizing one benchmarked LLM task.
* The main artifact is a candidate `harness.py`.
* You need Pareto / frontier tracking across prompt or retrieval variants.
* The bottleneck is evaluation quality, not repo operating clarity.
## Validation
```bash theme={null}
uv run pytest plugins/harness-engineering/tests
uv run pytest tests/test_plugin_catalogue.py
uv run python plugins/harness-engineering/scripts/audit_repo_harness.py --repo . --format markdown
uv run python plugins/harness-engineering/scripts/scaffold_harness_docs.py --repo . --dry-run
```
# legal plugin
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/qredence-plugins/plugins/legal
Consumer-perspective contract review plugin with the tos-clause-scanner skill β audit Terms of Service, user agreements, and privacy policies for risky clauses.
**legal** is a skill-library plugin focused on consumer-perspective contract review.
## Skills
| Skill | Use it for |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `tos-clause-scanner` | Auditing Terms of Service, user agreements, and privacy policies for unfair clauses, covert data authorizations, auto-renewal traps, unilateral amendment rights, and excessive liability disclaimers |
## tos-clause-scanner
Systematically audits Terms of Service, User Agreements, and Privacy Policies from an ordinary consumer's standpoint. Flags risky clauses and produces a structured audit report.
**Trigger phrases:** audit terms of service, review user agreement, analyze privacy policy, unfair clauses, data authorization, auto-renewal, ToS review, privacy policy review, consumer rights audit, clause compliance check.
**Example prompts:**
* "Review this user agreement for any unfair or one-sided clauses."
* "Analyze this app's privacy policy and flag any covert data authorizations."
* "Does this ToS have auto-renewal traps?"
Paste the terms text directly to the agent or provide a file path. The agent completes the audit and outputs a structured report.
## Install
```bash theme={null}
gh skill install Qredence/qredence-plugins legal
```
# meta-harness plugin
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/qredence-plugins/plugins/meta-harness
Scaffold a workspace, validate candidate harness.py files, and run outer-loop search over prompt, retrieval, parsing, and memory strategies for LLM tasks.
**meta-harness** scaffolds a workspace, validates candidate `harness.py` files, runs an outer-loop search over prompt / retrieval / parsing / memory strategies, and exposes script-based query and report tools for inspecting search state.
## Quick start
Run from the repo root:
```bash theme={null}
# 0. (Optional) Clarify a fuzzy goal into structured config
uv run python plugins/meta-harness/scripts/clarify_task.py --workspace ./workspace
# 1. Initialize a workspace with baselines and starter config
uv run python plugins/meta-harness/scripts/init_workspace.py \
--workspace ./workspace \
--task_type qa \
--num_baselines 3
# 2. Run the outer-loop search
uv run python plugins/meta-harness/scripts/meta_harness_scaffold.py \
--workspace ./workspace \
--iterations 30 \
--candidates 2
# 3. Inspect the resulting search state
uv run python plugins/meta-harness/scripts/query_cli.py --workspace ./workspace summary
uv run python plugins/meta-harness/scripts/query_cli.py --workspace ./workspace top --metric accuracy -k 5
```
In Claude Code:
```bash theme={null}
claude --plugin-dir ./plugins/meta-harness
/meta-harness:meta-harness
```
## What gets created
`init_workspace.py` creates the stable workspace scaffold:
* `.gitignore`
* `search_config.json`
* `eval_results.json`
* `proposer_skill.txt`
* `workspace_manifest.json`
* `history/candidates/candidate_*/harness.py` baseline seeds
* `candidates/`, `logs/`, `traces/`, and `reports/` directories
`meta_harness_scaffold.py` creates the live search artifacts:
* `candidates/candidate__/harness.py`
* `search_state.json`
* updated `eval_results.json`
* per-iteration history, Pareto frontier, and best-by-metric state
## Validation
```bash theme={null}
uv run pytest plugins/meta-harness/tests
```
# rlm-wiki plugin
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/qredence-plugins/plugins/rlm-wiki
Wrap Fleet-RLM with a Daytona-backed markdown wiki to ingest URLs, files, PDFs, and transcripts, then query and maintain a durable agent knowledge base.
**rlm-wiki** wraps [Fleet-RLM](https://github.com/Qredence/fleet-rlm) with a Daytona-backed markdown wiki. Use it when research inputs are scattered across URLs, files, PDFs, and transcripts and you want the agent to build and maintain a durable knowledge base.
## Operations
| Operation | Implementation | Description |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **reset** | `scripts/bootstrap_daytona_volume.py` | Inspect or reset a Daytona volume for wiki bootstrap |
| **init** | Skill-guided | Create `SCHEMA.md`, `index.md`, `log.md` in wiki root |
| **ingest** | Skill-guided | Capture sources under `raw/`, then propose-then-update |
| **query** | Skill-guided | Answer questions from compiled wiki knowledge |
| **lint** | Skill-guided | Report structural / semantic issues (read-only) |
The `reset` operation has a standalone script; other operations are executed by the LLM following the skill workflow at `skills/rlm-wiki/workflow.md`.
## Prerequisites
* [Daytona](https://www.daytona.io/) CLI installed and configured
* [Fleet-RLM](https://github.com/Qredence/fleet-rlm) source available
* Python 3.11+ with `uv`
## MCP servers
| Server | Purpose |
| --------- | --------------------------------- |
| fleet-rlm | DSPy / RLM orchestration (local) |
| context7 | Documentation fetching (remote) |
| neon | PostgreSQL metadata (remote) |
| daytona | Sandbox volume management (local) |
## Usage
```bash theme={null}
# Dry-run (safe inspection)
uv run python plugins/rlm-wiki/scripts/bootstrap_daytona_volume.py --dry-run
# Destructive reset (requires explicit confirmation)
uv run python plugins/rlm-wiki/scripts/bootstrap_daytona_volume.py \
--wiki-domain "my-domain" \
--confirm-reset "RESET:rlm-volume-dspy"
```
The reset flow is destructive. Do not run it as routine validation β use the `--dry-run` smoke test instead.
See `skills/rlm-wiki/workflow.md` for the full operating checklist.
## Validation
```bash theme={null}
uv run pytest plugins/rlm-wiki/tests/test_bootstrap_daytona_volume.py
uv run python plugins/rlm-wiki/scripts/bootstrap_daytona_volume.py --dry-run
```
# symphony plugin
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/qredence-plugins/plugins/symphony
Reference Symphony service that polls Linear issues, creates per-issue workspaces, and runs Codex app-server sessions governed by a repository WORKFLOW.md file.
**Symphony** is a reference Symphony service packaged as a dual Claude/Codex plugin. It continuously polls Linear issues, creates deterministic per-issue workspaces, and runs Codex app-server sessions inside those workspaces. Runtime behavior is owned by a repository `WORKFLOW.md` file with YAML front matter and a strict Liquid prompt body.
The implementation follows the OpenAI Symphony draft v1 service spec. It is a trusted-environment harness by default: workspace path containment and hook timeouts are enforced, while Codex approval and sandbox settings are passed through from `WORKFLOW.md`.
If `workspace.root` is omitted, the service defaults to `/symphony_workspaces`. If `WORKFLOW.md` becomes unreadable or invalid during runtime, Symphony keeps the last known good config for reconciliation, blocks new dispatches, and resumes dispatch once the workflow file is fixed.
This baseline intentionally stops short of the optional HTTP dashboard / API and SSH worker extensions. The Linear runtime path is still first-class: operators should use the Linear plugin / app for issue and project work, and Codex sessions launched by Symphony can use the bundled `linear_graphql` tool for scoped in-thread Linear GraphQL access.
## Files
* `scripts/symphony_service.py` β Python reference service and CLI.
* `skills/symphony/SKILL.md` β operator workflow for authoring and running Symphony.
* `references/workflow-example.md` β starter `WORKFLOW.md`.
* `references/implementation-notes.md` β conformance notes and safety posture.
## Quick start
Before you create or validate a repository-owned `WORKFLOW.md`, settle two required inputs:
1. **Confirm the Linear auth connection** Symphony should use at runtime. Symphony does not infer this from hidden plugin state β the chosen auth must resolve through `tracker.api_key`, typically via `LINEAR_API_KEY`.
2. **Choose the Linear project** for this repo. Use the Linear plugin / app to find or confirm the project, then write that repo-to-project mapping into `tracker.project_slug`.
Then create the workflow:
```yaml theme={null}
---
tracker:
kind: linear
endpoint: https://api.linear.app/graphql
project_slug: qredence-plugins
api_key: $LINEAR_API_KEY
polling:
interval_ms: 30000
hooks:
after_create: |
git clone https://github.com/Qredence/qredence-plugins.git .
before_run: |
uv sync --frozen --dev
after_run: |
git status --short --branch
agent:
max_concurrent_agents: 1
max_turns: 20
max_retry_backoff_ms: 300000
codex:
command: codex app-server
approval_policy: on-request
thread_sandbox: workspace-write
turn_sandbox_policy:
type: workspaceWrite
---
```
Validate a config without dispatching:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python plugins/symphony/scripts/symphony_service.py ./WORKFLOW.md --dry-run-config
```
## Validation
```bash theme={null}
uv run pytest plugins/symphony/tests
```
# Qredence Plugins quickstart
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/qredence-plugins/quickstart
Set up the Qredence Plugins repository with uv and gh, then install and run your first plugin from the marketplace inside Claude Code or OpenAI Codex.
## Prerequisites
* Python 3.11+
* [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
* [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/) (`gh`) for remote install
* Claude Code or OpenAI Codex
## Set up the repository
```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/Qredence/qredence-plugins.git
cd qredence-plugins
uv sync --frozen --dev
```
If a plugin depends on external services, copy `.env.example` to `.env` and add the required keys.
## Install from GitHub
Install a skill across all supported agents:
```bash theme={null}
gh skill install Qredence/qredence-plugins harness-engineering
```
Install for a specific agent:
```bash theme={null}
gh skill install Qredence/qredence-plugins harness-engineering --agent claude-code
gh skill install Qredence/qredence-plugins harness-engineering --agent codex
```
Browse available skills:
```bash theme={null}
gh skill search Qredence/qredence-plugins
```
Installable skill names: `harness-engineering`, `meta-harness`, `rlm-wiki`, `symphony`, `development`, `legal`, `autoresearch-dspy`.
## Local testing
For local development or session-only testing, point Claude Code at a checkout directly:
```bash theme={null}
claude --plugin-dir ./plugins/
```
Then invoke the skill, for example:
```text theme={null}
/meta-harness:meta-harness
```
## Run a plugin from Codex
When Codex creates a new worktree, `.codex/environments/environment.toml` bootstraps dependencies with:
```bash theme={null}
uv sync --frozen --dev
```
Put environment variables (`TAVILY_API_KEY`, `LINEAR_API_KEY`, etc.) in Codex settings β setup runs in a separate shell session, so exports won't persist.
## Verify the repo
```bash theme={null}
# All tests
uv run pytest
# Marketplace and manifest wiring
uv run pytest tests/test_plugin_catalogue.py
# Per-plugin validation
uv run pytest plugins/harness-engineering/tests
uv run pytest plugins/meta-harness/tests
uv run pytest plugins/rlm-wiki/tests
uv run pytest plugins/symphony/tests
```
## Next steps
Marketplace, install commands, and packaging notes for Claude Code.
Marketplace registration, setup script, and packaging notes for Codex.
Folder layout, manifests, and the marketplace checklist.
Per-plugin guides and validation commands.
# Authoring skills
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/skills/authoring
Anatomy of a SKILL.md, the required frontmatter and workflow sections, and the validation and release workflow for adding a new skill to the Qredence catalogue.
New skills belong under `skills/figma-agent//` as a kebab-case directory with a matching frontmatter `name`. Each skill is a single `SKILL.md` β there is no duplicate upload document.
## Anatomy of a skill
```text theme={null}
skills/figma-agent//SKILL.md
```
A `SKILL.md` has three parts:
| Part | Role |
| ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| YAML frontmatter (`name`, `description`) | Discovery and routing for agents. `name` must match the directory name. |
| Purpose and operating role | What the skill does and how it should behave inside Figma. |
| Workflow sections | Concrete steps, limits, guardrails, and output shape. |
### Frontmatter
```yaml theme={null}
---
name: accessibility-audit
description: "Audits a design against WCAG 2.2 AA basics that are checkable in Figma: color contrast, text sizing, tap/click target size, focus order, and presence of alt-text-equivalent labels for meaningful icons. Use before a design is considered done."
---
```
The `description` is the routing signal β write it as a trigger. Include the observable inputs, the checks the skill performs, and when to invoke it.
### Standard sections
Match the sections used by shipped skills so agents can route reliably:
* **Purpose** β one paragraph, plain intent.
* **Operating Role** β how the skill behaves in Figma (selection-first, evidence-backed, no broad redesign unless asked).
* **Supported Context** β what the skill uses (selection, page, prototype settings, comments, connectors, code).
* **Activation Boundary** β when to run it.
* **Required Inputs** β what the user must supply, and what may be inferred.
* **Fast Defaults** β the useful-first-pass behavior when context is incomplete.
* **Workflow** β the numbered steps the skill executes.
* **Figma Execution Limits** β scoped edits, ambiguity handling, and behaviors the skill must not claim.
* **Guardrails** β quality-critical behaviors that must not drift.
* **Finding Quality Rules** β how to phrase findings, evidence, and severity.
## Scaffold a new skill
```bash theme={null}
uv run python scripts/init_skill.py my-new-skill
# edit skills/figma-agent/my-new-skill/SKILL.md
```
Use kebab-case names. Keep `name` and `description` in YAML frontmatter, and make sure `name` matches the directory name.
## Validate
Run the same checks CI runs before opening a pull request:
```bash theme={null}
uv run python scripts/validate_skills.py
uv run python tests/test_skills_catalog.py
uv run ruff check .
uv run ruff format --check .
```
Before releasing a catalogue change, verify remote discovery from a clean directory:
```bash theme={null}
npx skills@latest add qredence/skills --list
```
Only active Figma skills should appear. Anything under `archive/` is documentation only and must never contain a `SKILL.md`.
## Repository conventions
* Use `uv` for Python commands and `ruff` for formatting and linting.
* Keep README content user-focused. Maintenance details belong in `AGENTS.md`.
* Do not add plugin-manager stubs, duplicate agent rules, or archived `SKILL.md` files.
Full maintainer workflow: [`AGENTS.md`](https://github.com/Qredence/skills/blob/main/AGENTS.md).

# Introduction to Qredence Skills
Source: https://docs.qredence.ai/skills/introduction
Qredence Skills is a curated catalogue of Figma design and product skills for AI agents, installed with skills.sh and invoked by name or task description.
Qredence Skills is a curated catalogue of practical Figma design and product skills for AI agents. Each skill is a single `SKILL.md` with a clear trigger description and an evidence-backed workflow the agent can follow inside Figma.
The catalogue installs with [`skills.sh`](https://www.skills.sh/docs) and is scoped for Figma design work: selection-first by default, evidence tied to layers, frames, and variables, and clear limits when code or admin context is unavailable.
## Install
```bash theme={null}
npx skills@latest add qredence/skills
```
1. Choose skills from the Figma catalogue.
2. Choose the agents where you want them installed.
3. Invoke a skill by name or by describing the task it covers.

## Prerequisites
* Node.js with `npx` available (for `skills.sh`).
* An agent that supports skill invocation.
* A Figma file you can select frames or components in β skills are selection-first.
## Install the catalogue
From your project directory:
```bash theme={null}
npx skills@latest add qredence/skills
```
1. Choose skills from the Figma catalogue.
2. Choose the agents where you want them installed.
3. Invoke a skill by name or by describing the task it covers.
## List discoverable skills
From a clean directory, dry-run the catalogue to see what would install:
```bash theme={null}
npx skills@latest add qredence/skills --list
```
Only packages under `skills/figma-agent/` are discoverable. Everything under `archive/` is documentation-only and never appears.
## Invoke a skill
Two invocation styles work with any compatible agent:
* **By name.** "Run `accessibility-audit` on the selected frame."
* **By task description.** "Audit the current selection for WCAG 2.2 AA basics that are checkable in Figma." The agent matches the description to `SKILL.md` frontmatter and picks the right skill.
Every skill assumes the current Figma selection as its default scope. If nothing is selected, the skill uses the current page and asks before file-wide edits.
## Suggested starting set
If you are installing for the first time, these six skills cover the most common loops:
| Skill | Why |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `accessibility-audit` | Catch checkable a11y issues early. |
| `component-audit` | Keep shared components healthy. |
| `design-tokens-sync` | Keep design and code tokens aligned. |
| `figma-to-code-component` | Bridge a selected design into code. |
| `prototype-from-flow` | Make flows testable quickly. |
| `dev-handoff-prep` | Close the loop before engineering. |
## Fast defaults every skill follows
* Start from the selected frame, component, section, or comment thread. If the user named a scope, use that instead of scanning the whole file.
* Do a useful first pass without waiting for perfect context; state assumptions briefly.
* Prefer in-file evidence (exact layers, frames, variables, styles) over generic best practices.
* For report-only prompts, don't alter the file. For fix or apply prompts, make only scoped, reversible edits unless the user approves broader changes.
* Ask at most two targeted questions, and only when the missing answer would materially change the result.
## Next steps
* [Catalogue](/skills/catalogue) β every skill grouped by job.
* [Authoring skills](/skills/authoring) β the SKILL.md anatomy and validation workflow.
