# Tech Stack & Constraints
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
This project is a desktop application built with **Tauri**. It functions as an **Agentic Code Assistant** capable of safely executing tools on the host system.
|
|
|
|
## Core Stack
|
|
* **Backend:** Rust (Tauri Core)
|
|
* **MSRV:** Stable (latest)
|
|
* **Framework:** Tauri v2
|
|
* **Frontend:** TypeScript + React
|
|
* **Build Tool:** Vite
|
|
* **Styling:** CSS Modules or Tailwind (TBD - Defaulting to CSS Modules)
|
|
* **State Management:** React Context / Hooks
|
|
* **Chat UI:** Rendered Markdown with syntax highlighting.
|
|
|
|
## Agent Architecture
|
|
The application follows a **Tool-Use (Function Calling)** architecture:
|
|
1. **Frontend:** Collects user input and sends it to the LLM.
|
|
2. **LLM:** Decides to generate text OR request a **Tool Call** (e.g., `execute_shell`, `read_file`).
|
|
3. **Tauri Backend (The "Hand"):**
|
|
* Intercepts Tool Calls.
|
|
* Validates the request against the **Safety Policy**.
|
|
* Executes the native code (File I/O, Shell Process, Search).
|
|
* Returns the output (stdout/stderr/file content) to the LLM.
|
|
* **Event Loop:** The backend emits real-time events (`chat:update`) to the frontend to ensure UI responsiveness during long-running Agent tasks.
|
|
|
|
## LLM Provider Abstraction
|
|
To support both Remote and Local models, the system implements a `ModelProvider` abstraction layer.
|
|
|
|
* **Strategy:**
|
|
* Abstract the differences between API formats (OpenAI-compatible vs Anthropic vs Gemini).
|
|
* Normalize "Tool Use" definitions, as each provider handles function calling schemas differently.
|
|
* **Supported Providers:**
|
|
* **Anthropic:** Focus on Claude 3.5 Sonnet for coding tasks.
|
|
* **Google:** Gemini 1.5 Pro for massive context windows.
|
|
* **Ollama:** Local inference (e.g., Llama 3, DeepSeek Coder) for privacy and offline usage.
|
|
* **Configuration:**
|
|
* Provider selection is runtime-configurable by the user.
|
|
* API Keys must be stored securely (using OS native keychain where possible).
|
|
|
|
## Tooling Capabilities
|
|
|
|
### 1. Filesystem (Native)
|
|
* **Scope:** Strictly limited to the user-selected `project_root`.
|
|
* **Operations:** Read, Write, List, Delete.
|
|
* **Constraint:** Modifications to `.git/` are strictly forbidden via file APIs (use Git tools instead).
|
|
|
|
### 2. Shell Execution
|
|
* **Library:** `tokio::process` for async execution.
|
|
* **Constraint:** We do **not** run an interactive shell (repl). We run discrete, stateless commands.
|
|
* **Allowlist:** The agent may only execute specific binaries:
|
|
* `git`
|
|
* `cargo`, `rustc`, `rustfmt`, `clippy`
|
|
* `npm`, `node`, `yarn`, `pnpm`, `bun`
|
|
* `ls`, `find`, `grep` (if not using internal search)
|
|
* `mkdir`, `rm`, `touch`, `mv`, `cp`
|
|
|
|
### 3. Search & Navigation
|
|
* **Library:** `ignore` (by BurntSushi) + `grep` logic.
|
|
* **Behavior:**
|
|
* Must respect `.gitignore` files automatically.
|
|
* Must be performant (parallel traversal).
|
|
|
|
## Coding Standards
|
|
|
|
### Rust
|
|
* **Style:** `rustfmt` standard.
|
|
* **Error Handling:** Custom `AppError` type deriving `thiserror`. All Commands return `Result<T, AppError>`.
|
|
* **Concurrency:** Heavy tools (Search, Shell) must run on `tokio` threads to avoid blocking the UI.
|
|
|
|
### TypeScript / React
|
|
* **Style:** Prettier / ESLint standard.
|
|
* **Types:** Shared types with Rust (via `tauri-specta` or manual interface matching) are preferred to ensure type safety across the bridge.
|
|
|
|
## Libraries (Approved)
|
|
* **Rust:**
|
|
* `serde`, `serde_json`: Serialization.
|
|
* `ignore`: Fast recursive directory iteration respecting gitignore.
|
|
* `walkdir`: Simple directory traversal.
|
|
* `tokio`: Async runtime.
|
|
* `reqwest`: For LLM API calls (if backend-initiated).
|
|
* `uuid`: For unique message IDs.
|
|
* `chrono`: For timestamps.
|
|
* `tauri-plugin-dialog`: Native system dialogs.
|
|
* `tauri-plugin-store`: Persistent key-value storage.
|
|
* **JavaScript:**
|
|
* `@tauri-apps/api`: Tauri Bridge.
|
|
* `@tauri-apps/plugin-dialog`: Dialog API.
|
|
* `@tauri-apps/plugin-store`: Store API.
|
|
* `react-markdown`: For rendering chat responses.
|
|
|
|
## Safety & Sandbox
|
|
1. **Project Scope:** The application must strictly enforce that it does not read/write outside the `project_root` selected by the user.
|
|
2. **Human in the Loop:**
|
|
* Shell commands that modify state (non-readonly) should ideally require a UI confirmation (configurable).
|
|
* File writes must be confirmed or revertible. |
