The Hoox Terminal User Interface (TUI) is a full-screen, keyboard-driven operations cockpit built with OpenTUI, React 19, and Zustand. It provides real-time visibility into the edge trading mesh—workers, logs, trades, config, queues, KV, secrets, D1, and AI chat—without leaving the terminal.

🏁 Launching the TUI

Requirements: Bun ≥ 1.2, 256-color terminal, minimum 80×24, OpenTUI installed via bun install. Persistent UI state lives under $HOME/.hoox/.tui-state/ (session, crash log, chat history, DB query history).

⌨️ Global Keyboard Navigation

If Ctrl+Q is swallowed by XON/XOFF flow control: stty -ixon, or use Ctrl+P → QUIT HOOX.

🗺️ All 15 Views

1. Dashboard (Ctrl+1)

Service health grid, kill-switch status, auto-repair (hoox check fix), AI model health, alerts, quick stats (P&L, trades, AI calls).

2. Workers Overview (Ctrl+2)

2-column cards: status, uptime, CPU, memory, requests, DO count, edges. Enter opens Worker Detail. Actions: logs / deploy / repair via CLI bridge.

3. Worker Detail (Ctrl+3)

Four panes for the selected worker (select from Workers first): metrics, live logs, Durable Objects (names inferred from count), config preview (hoox config show with fallbacks).

4. Trade Monitor (Ctrl+4)

Live trade feed (SSE /trades/stream when API is up), open positions, today/7d/30d P&L, win rate, Sharpe. Space pauses the feed.

5. Logs Viewer (Ctrl+5)

Level + worker filters, text search, pause, fetch via hoox logs, export to ~/.hoox/logs-export-*.json. SSE /logs/stream when API is up.

6. Service Manager (Ctrl+6)

Per-worker deploy/repair, deploy-all, rebuild, kill-switch show/engage/disengage, interactive PoP-style edge map.

7. Config Editor (Ctrl+7)

Read-only list + on-demand value reveal for non-secret keys (config kv list / get). Writes stay CLI-only.

12. Secrets Viewer (Ctrl+Alt+S)

Read-only names and metadata only — values are never fetched or shown.

13. AI Chat (Ctrl+Alt+C)

Streaming chat with agent worker models. History persisted under .tui-state/chat-history.json (Bun has no localStorage).

14. DB Query (Ctrl+Alt+Q)

Read-only SQL (SELECT / WITH / EXPLAIN only). Client-side validation + CLI enforcement. History under .tui-state/db-query-history.json.

15. Edge Topology (Ctrl+Alt+E)

Interactive map from monorepo graph-metadata.json (workers, infrastructure, communities, data flows). Resolves the file from CWD or monorepo root.

🛜 Data channels

Connection state machine: connectedreconnectingoffline (status bar pills + expandable CLI error panel).

🛡️ Crash protection

  1. Per-view ErrorBoundary — a broken view shows Retry; sidebar/status keep running.
  2. CrashRecoveryApp — process-level trap → Restart / Safe Mode / Report Bug → $HOME/.hoox/.tui-state/crash.log.
