War Room

Deliberate

Streams a multi-seat session over /ws/deliberate.

Between rounds, when the server reports awaiting_input, the operator can send an intervention into the proceeding. The stream speaks in typed events, so the UI always knows which act it is in:

Every control on the convene desk, and everything you can do at the pause, is spelled out in the two sections below.

Direct Fire

One seat, one shot, no rounds.

A single model answers a single prompt with a chosen lens: contrarian tears down the framing, munger inverts the assumptions, kiss strips to essentials, specops hunts the adversarial signal, and the experimental premortem assumes the plan already failed and works backward. CLI parity: --contrarian, --munger, --kiss-review, --specops, --premortem. The stream skips straight from session_started to synthesis: no rounds, no convergence, no pause.

History

The record of proceedings.

Saved sessions, their synthesis, their lineage, and their exports. What the council said stays findable.

Outbox

Reads signed Gateway directives.

This is where signed directives surface. An empty Outbox means there is no signed directive from the configured Gateway. It is not an error; nothing has been signed yet.

Watch

Sentinels, fires, and the watch plane.

Shows registered Sentinels, their fires, and watch-plane status. It stays readable while action production is disabled, because observing is not acting.

Discover

Scans exact transports, nothing more.

Three probes: non-empty API-key environment variables (names only, never values, no billable call), supported local CLI binaries, and reachable local runtimes. Unavailable rows stay visible for setup guidance but are disabled in selectors. Rescan refreshes the browser-cached result. There is no background polling.

Cabinets

Reads and edits local cabinet YAML.

The server is the YAML-validity authority, and it refuses to overwrite built-ins. Cabinet keys must match ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,63}$.

Patterns

Your intervention habits, counted.

Every pause decision you make is logged, and this view plays it back: counts per action (Continue, End early, SpecOps, Munger, Contrarian, KISS, Inject context, Swap seat) over a chosen window, default 30 days, plus the full paginated intervention log from /api/interventions with copyable session ids. The council audits you a little, too.

Drift

Compares normal versus blind reruns.

Re-runs normal sessions in blind mode and measures how much precedent injection actually shaped the ruling. Weekly drift history feeds the dashboard card and Meta-review. Notifications are delivered via COUNCIL_WEBHOOK_* environment variables.

Meta-review

The self-audit loop.

Reads the weekly drift history plus your intervention history and recommends one parameter to tune. One, not ten: a self-audit that produces a single next move is one you might actually run.

Librarian

An optional tab, never a dependency.

Proxies a separately configured local Librarian service. If that service is offline, Council and Gateway carry on untouched. Memory is a guest here, not a load-bearing wall.

Settings

The bases and the token.

API base, WS base, Gateway base, Librarian base, auth token, and Council root, all stored in local storage. Prefer loopback: a non-loopback endpoint can leak the token.

Choose Deliberate when

The question deserves disagreement: a decision with stakes, a design worth attacking from several blind spots, anything where you want positions challenged across rounds and a ruling with the dissent still attached. It costs more seats, more tokens, and more of your attention at the pause.

Choose Direct Fire when

You want one mind and one move: tear down this framing, invert these assumptions, strip this to essentials, run a premortem. No rounds, no convergence, no pause, one saved result. If the answer surprises you, promote the question to a full proceeding.
