The phone header carries a single speech bubble: Control on Home, the
assistant elsewhere. Chips above the input offer the user's most sent
messages per tab, then starters; a tap or a double-click on a sent or
heard message fills the input without sending.
POST/GET /flows/{name}/nodes/{id}/train submit wren_train on the node's
targets, examples and tests and read its latest run (run.for_node,
cause "train"); "Use this model" writes `model` into the draft.
Every output is a target and every input besides prompt a reading. A
targets setting gives descriptions, values, ranges and per-target
guards, model takes a trained pack's artifact digest, min_confidence
defaults to the model's threshold. A command is applied whole or not at
all, and targets the model was not trained on read degraded. The home
path (area/kind ports, groups, brightness, temperature answers) is gone.
wren's model answers "turn off all lights" with one call, and at 0.98 a
living room light switched on. The node now applies such a command to every
wired target of the kind. Number words become digits ("in five minutes"
lost its delay), aliases put the house's words and known mishearings in the
model's, and sensors.temperature is answered from <area>_temperature or
outdoor. tts writes out units and clock times before speaking.
wren drops a call on an area the command does not name (other than the
user's or, with none named, the living room): "switch on the appliances"
turned on the bathroom light at 0.97. The assistant's `values` setting gives
a str target its only values, explains them in the tool and confirms in the
word set for each ("Canopy open.").
Shown only the wired areas, the model took "turn on the bathroom light"
for the living room's light and "the office light" for the kitchen's,
both above 0.93: 5 of the 28 recorded 7B commands switched a wrong light.
Every area is shown now, with a light each, so such a call names an
unwired device and goes on to `unhandled`.
With every area shown, a transcript's "Turn on the kitchen light." fell
to 0.80. The command is passed lower case without sentence marks, as the
model was trained, which brings it to 0.99.
run_turn takes answer_tools: false ends the turn once the tools have
answered. The assistant node uses it and says what was set ("Kitchen light
off, living room light off."), which saves one model round, about 1.1 s on
the P100. A turn without a call still streams the model's own words.
rebuild-frontend keeps the running stack's FRONTEND_HOST, so the token
issuer no longer flips between the LAN address and app.localhost.
run_turn takes its tools, system prompt and tool caller; the chat passes the
MCP tools as before. The assistant node offers one tool per wired target,
reads its other inputs as context, streams its reply a sentence at a time,
warms the provider on `listening` and says so when the provider is not there.
Completions share the per-server HTTP client. wren replies when nothing reads
`unhandled`, stt shows a note when nothing was heard. /ai/control lists one
conversation per entry node with the messages to watch.
transcribe and speak share an httpx client per speech server with a 300 s
keep-alive, and run on the engine's loop. stt warms it with GET /v1/models
when an utterance opens, so a reply's first sentence finds the connection
open: a new one over a lossy link cost up to a second (openpanel V4).
- `stt`: one realtime transcription session per utterance on the speech
server's url, opened at `listening` true or the first chunk, committed at
false; a whole clip goes to /v1/audio/transcriptions. Returns at once and
publishes `partial` and `text` when the server answers.
- `tts`: one /v1/audio/speech call per sentence, cached by voice and text in
node state; a reference is marked `append` while earlier ones still play.
- wren: `reply` says what was applied, `unhandled` carries the prompt when
nothing was. The install hint names the git pin (PyPI's `wren` is another
package).
- ai/client: transcribe, speak and transcribe_stream beside stream_completion.
- A device socket publishes scalar `in` ports as {"type": "publish"} text,
in order with its binary frames.
- Pipeline.publish walks only what its values reach: a node downstream of a
consumer that published nothing no longer runs again (wren re-acted on
every microphone chunk).
- `service` node type: command, port, worker label, health path, env and
weights (an artifact digest the worker fetches as {weights}). Its flow
starts it; it restarts with backoff, reads degraded while starting or
without a worker and down after three starts that never got healthy, and
publishes http://<worker>:<port> once /health answers 200, "" when it ends.
- Worker protocol 3: a `serve` call, every call in its own process group,
killed when the engine ends the call, the socket drops or the agent gets
SIGTERM. `--service-host` overrides the address the engine sees.
- Services and compiles take no `--parallel` slot, and a flow's detail is
built off the event loop, so a save no longer stalls the engine.
C4: a device's `viewers` (superusers by default, or members) covers the
image and video messages its ports publish. Anyone else gets none of their
values on the socket, in the catalogue or a flow's state, 403 for their
history, for the frames they hold (the last 8 included) and for TURN
credentials, no bytes when asking for them, and `bye: forbidden` for a live
view. A device credential stays bounded by its dashboards. The device page
sets it in its Camera section, and a tile the viewer may not see says
"No access to this camera" and asks the camera for nothing.
C3:
- A volatile upload is held to MAX_FRAME_BYTES (4 MiB, 413 above it, read
without extra copies), and so is a frame on a device's socket.
- A frame the engine holds in memory is written to the ring directory
before a local worker is handed it, so load_artifact finds it.
- A socket the bus dropped events for catches up with a snapshot, demand
included, and a device's credential is checked again per frame, cached by
the flow store revision and its nonce, so a lost event never keeps an
unpaired device's frames coming.
- A report is at most 64 KB once its named config_schemas are put in place.
- A device away for 60 s has its true bool messages set to false.
- Refused frames are logged by fixed keys, a frame is named after its
message, `fluksio serve` waits 5 s for open connections, a tile with a
stream URL creates no demand, the 8-name cap keeps the newest names.
- Every container's log rotates (json-file, 3 x 10 MB).
A device reporting a `live` port streams its camera to the browser's own
RTCPeerConnection. The flows socket carries the signalling as text, so it
crosses the portal: `live` messages on a person's socket, `signal` on a
device's (start, sdp, candidate, bye, busy). The server routes by session,
holds a device to two viewers, ends a session when either socket closes or
no answer comes within 10 s, and gives each socket an outbox of its own
that ends a session rather than drop a message. TURN credentials are
minted per session in coturn's REST scheme (STUN_URLS, TURN_URLS,
TURN_SECRET), the viewer's with the device's offer; GET /devices/{id}/ice
hands them out too. The tunnel keeps a stream's early frames instead of
dropping them past eight and forgets them when the stream or link goes.
A media tile on a device's camera, and the Devices tab's preview, play
live when tapped, pause frames meanwhile, and fall back to frames with a
short note on busy, failure or no picture within 10 s. coturn is an
optional compose service behind the `turn` profile.
- Volatile frames are held in memory with a byte-bounded queue instead of
the /dev/shm ring scanned on every put; workers keep writing to the
directory, which is trimmed on a timer. A volatile upload no longer spools
to disk. ARTIFACT_VOLATILE_BYTES=0 turns the ring off.
- A device sends camera frames as binary messages on its socket, held and
published in one step and credited to its device node; refused frames are
logged and dropped. Its snapshot carries demand and the uplink (binary, or
http through the portal).
- One demand registry for every socket's wanted media, the tunnel's
included, plus what running flows read, mapped onto on-demand ports and
published as device_demand; at most 8 media names per socket.
- Per-message deflate off in serve and dev; a device may fetch the last 8
digests of a message; published dashboards cached per store revision; a
revoked device socket is closed with 1008.
- Media tiles want bytes only while on screen; the Devices tab previews a
wired camera; the device node warns when a flow reads an on-demand port.
Every call through the portal arrives off the tunnel, so the per-address limit
skips those (the hub limits them by the real address), and the cap of 50 counts
and evicts portal and local requests apart, so a portal flood never pushes out
a device waiting on this network.
- POST /devices/pair answers a 2-character `check`, listed by /devices/pending
and shown beside each waiting entry; five codes a minute per address, and at
50 waiting the oldest gives way instead of a 429
- portal-minted device tokens are asked for with the device's nonce (`pnc`) and
held against it, so unpair and delete revoke them; one without `pnc` stands
only while the nonce is 0
- a device credential acts as the device (`device_principal`), not as the
approving superuser, so deleting that account unpairs nothing
- the report is validated port by port: unknown enum values read as `unknown`,
unreadable ports and sections are left out and logged, `config` may name an
entry of `config_schemas`; 422 only for no schema 1 or no object
- devices.json is parsed once per change (cached by stat), delete drops the
report and keeps the nonce, a busy recheck runs in the background
- scope and io only from enabled flows (start/stop tells the devices), a port
bound twice gives one io row
- the Devices tab's saves cancel and hold back device refetches until settled
- A device credential that cannot be checked now (device store not running,
nonces unreadable) raises DeviceUnavailable: 503 over HTTP, and the
/flows/ws handshake and the tunnel stream accept and close with 1013.
1008 (a 403 before accepting) stays for a revoked or invalid one
- Device files are written through a temporary file, so a read mid-save no
longer looks like a deleted device
- The first report turns Touch friendly on only for a device paired since
pairings are noted (DeviceState.paired_at), so devices paired before keep
the switch they were given
- NodeDef reads `device`/`device_policy` from older clients as the worker
label, for a release
- Tests: transient vs revoked socket, the touch default, the old worker keys,
and a restart with a device node and a node_health rule sending no push
A device reports its board, screen, camera and ports from its own
credential (16 KB, schema 1, replacing the last report), and the flows
are validated against it again. The node panel turns a reported port's
config schema into a form, a reported screen is a canvas preset and a
touch screen's first report turns Touch friendly on. An offline device
node is degraded: amber on the canvas, a warning on Home, never a fault.
- NodeDef `device`/`device_policy` become `worker`/`worker_policy`, the
issue `ignored_device` becomes `ignored_worker`, and the SDK's `@node`
takes `worker=` and `worker_policy=`
- FlowStore._migrate renames the keys in published and draft documents
once, bumping their version; a queued run's `needs` reads the old key
- placement passes the label as `label`, client regenerated
- docs: worker placement wording, MCP issuer without DOMAIN, device rows in
the CLI data directory and the API table, device links in compose comments
- flow/nodes/device.py: `device` node with params `device` and `config`;
provides the device's `in` ports, requires its `out` ports without
waking anything, never run (Node.passive), down "Offline" from presence
- DeviceDef.io and DevicePort go; GET /devices/{id} computes `io` and
`bindings` from the device nodes of published flows, in a fixed order,
cached by FlowStore.revision; the credential's scope comes from them
- issues `unknown_device` and `device_port` (wired twice; against a report
the wrong direction or dtype, or unlisted as advisory), rechecked when a
device is created or deleted; ValidationIssue.advisory is a field
- a device publishing on a bound port is credited to its node by the
server; the panel endpoint kind is gone from `_endpoints` and the canvas
- a rebuild that moves a device's bindings sends `dashboard_changed` with
an empty name, which the firmware refetches on
- startup moves each device's `io` rows into device nodes in the flows
declaring their messages, draft and published, one commit; rows no
flow declares are logged and left out
- frontend: Device node settings (device, Publishes, Follows, a port
picker from a report), palette shortcuts per reported port, DeviceDetail
lists bindings with "Use in flow" in place of the I/O editor
- docs: devices, flow editor, node types, issues, API
- flow/devices.py: DeviceDef in FLOWS_DIR/_devices/<id>.json, committed under
the flow store's write lock, 409 on a stale version; nonces in DEVICES_FILE
outside git; in-memory presence announced as device_status
- api/routes/devices.py: CRUD, pairing with an optional {name, board,
firmware}, a pending list adopted without a code from the LAN only, unpair;
/panels/pair, /panels/pair/{code} and GET /panels/{id} kept as aliases,
PUT /panels/ gone
- _device_may replaces _panel_may, JWT claims unchanged
- panels.json moves into devices once at startup, then .migrated
- MCP list_devices, get_device; search category device
- Devices tab (list, detail with presence, pairing, ordered dashboards,
touch, I/O), PanelsDialog removed, serialised optimistic saves
The backend image now builds the SPA and serves it on the API's own origin
(fluksio/spa.py), so an instance is a single container with no proxy, DNS,
port 80 or .env: `docker compose up -d` with the new compose.yml runs it on
localhost:8080. It starts on fluksio serve (persisted secret key, first
admin printed once) and brings its own Redis when REDIS_HOST is unset.
Slimmer: python:3.13-slim, no dev group, uv once, fastapi without the cloud
CLI. Optional features are per-feature extras (mqtt, influx, email, sentry,
ml, server for all) picked with the EXTRAS build argument; numpy moved to
`ml`. ffmpeg left the image for imageio-ffmpeg via the Modules screen.
The operator stack runs the same image with app. and api. routed to it; the
nginx frontend service, the LAN nginx proxy and DOMAIN in the backend are
gone, and the MCP issuer is FRONTEND_HOST.
Copy widget in the widget panel or mod+c keeps one widget in localStorage;
a paste button in the dock and mod+v insert it below the other widgets with
a fresh id. Placement is shared with adding a widget.
ai/client.py streams the completion and puts the chunks back together
(Assembler), covering OpenAI's piecewise tool-call arguments, Ollama's whole
calls, OpenRouter's comment lines, unnumbered calls and in-stream errors.
The turn emits a delta event per piece and a message per round as before,
and the chat grows the last answer as deltas arrive.
react-markdown, lazy-loaded with the first answer (37 kB gzip chunk, main

The system prompt asks for lists, inline code and fenced code blocks.
