# Chat & ChatHistory Apps Architecture

**Date**: February 20, 2026  
**Status**: Complete & Running  
**Scope**: Unified Pi harness integration for chat functionality

---

## Overview

The Chat and ChatHistory applications work together to provide a complete conversational interface with session management, grouping, and model selection. They consume the new Pi harness WebSocket API (`/api/pi/chat/ws`) and REST endpoints (`/api/pi/*`).

## Core Components

### 1. ChatPanel

**File**: `Chat/ChatPanel.tsx`

**Purpose**: Main chat container for the `/chat/:sessionId` route.

**Key Features**:
- Displays session title in header
- Handles location.state for pre-filled messages and initial sends
- Manages fullscreen toggle
- Passes chat state to EmbeddableChat

**Props**:
```typescript
type ChatPanelProps = {
  chat: ReturnType<typeof usePi>;
  availableModels?: ModelOption[];
};
```

**Dependencies**:
- `usePi` hook (WebSocket connection)
- `useChatSessions` hook (session data)
- `useSlashCommands` hook (command handling)

---

### 2. EmbeddableChat

**File**: `Chat/EmbeddableChat.tsx`

**Purpose**: Reusable, embeddable chat widget used in both ChatPanel and ChatDetailPanel.

**Key Features**:
- Message display with streaming text
- Input area with attachment handling
- Jump-to-bottom button when user scrolls up
- Auto-scroll to latest message (unless user scrolled)
- Textarea auto-resize
- Webpage scraping and image upload
- Before-send hook for slash commands

**Key Refs**:
- `scrollViewportRef`: Track scroll position
- `bottomRef`: Auto-scroll target
- `userScrolledRef`: Track if user manually scrolled
- `textareaRef`: Direct textarea access

**Props**:
```typescript
type EmbeddableChatProps = {
  chat: ReturnType<typeof usePi>;
  availableModels?: ModelOption[];
  onBeforeSend?: (text: string) => boolean | Promise<boolean>;
  commandFeedback?: string | null;
  defaultInput?: string;
  promptPrefix?: string;
  className?: string;
  cwd?: { root?: string; path: string };
  autoSend?: boolean;
};
```

---

### 3. InputArea

**File**: `Chat/InputArea.tsx`

**Purpose**: Message input with advanced features (attachments, voice, model selection).

**Key Features**:
- Textarea with dynamic height
- Attachment dropdown (image, file, URL, PDF)
- Voice recording to WAV format
- Whisper transcription (hardcoded to `http://macmini:8178/inference`)
- Paste-to-attach images
- Model picker with provider selection
- Command feedback display
- Send/Stop button

**Voice Recording Pipeline**:
1. Start MediaRecorder
2. On stop: Convert to WAV format
3. POST to Whisper: `http://macmini:8178/inference`
4. Append transcribed text to input

**Dependencies**:
- `sonner` toast notifications
- `lucide-react` icons
- Settings component (model picker)

---

### 4. usePi Hook

**File**: `Chat/usePi.ts`

**Purpose**: Central WebSocket connection to Pi harness with message handling.

**Key Features**:
- Establishes WebSocket connection to `/api/pi/chat/ws`
- Manages message streaming with requestAnimationFrame batching
- Handles all ServerMessage types
- Session initialization and resume
- Debounced message saving (1s)
- Model and CWD tracking

**Message Type Handling**:

| Server Message | Handler | Action |
|----------------|---------|--------|
| `session:init` | Sets sessionId, model, cwd; updates URL |
| `assistant:delta` | Accumulates in streaming buffer |
| `assistant:text` | Commits streaming or adds as-is |
| `tool:start` | Creates tool execution message |
| `tool:result` | Updates tool message with output |
| `result` | Commits streaming, adds cost metadata, sets isGenerating=false |
| `sync:messages` | Restores full message history (resume) |
| `error` | Adds error message, sets isGenerating=false |
| `stopped` | Commits streaming, sets isGenerating=false |

**Streaming Optimization**:
- Uses refs (`streamingRef`) to avoid state thrashing
- RequestAnimationFrame batches updates
- Commits on message boundaries or generation end

**Options**:
```typescript
type UsePiOptions = {
  replaceUrl?: boolean;           // auto-update URL on session init
  storage?: ResourceChatStorage;  // custom storage provider
  resourceChatDir?: string;       // for resource/task chats
  taskInfo?: TaskInfo;            // task metadata
};
```

**Return Type**:
```typescript
{
  messages: ChatMessage[];
  streamingText: string;
  isConnected: boolean;
  isGenerating: boolean;
  sessionId: string | null;
  model: string | null;
  selectedModel: string | null;
  cwd: string | null;
  setSelectedModel: (modelId: string) => void;
  sendPrompt: (text, attachmentIds?, images?, cwd?, groupSlug?) => void;
  stopGeneration: () => void;
}
```

---

### 5. Settings Component

**File**: `Chat/Settings.tsx`

**Purpose**: Model selection UI with provider filtering.

**Key Features**:
- Shows provider buttons before first message
- Switches to dropdown display after first message
- Groups models by provider
- Display names for well-known providers

**Display Names**:
```
anthropic → "Anthropic"
openai → "OpenAI"

google → "Google"
groq → "Groq"
... (14 total providers defined)
```

---

### 6. SessionList (Screen.tsx)

**File**: `ChatHistory/Screen.tsx`

**Purpose**: Tree view showing all sessions organized by groups.

**Key Features**:
- Ungrouped sessions at top
- Collapsible group sections
- Session count badges
- Jump to selected session on render
- Create group and new chat buttons

**Structure**:
```

## Type System

### Core Types

**SessionEntry**:
```typescript
{
  id: string;
  title: string;
  model: string;
  cwd: string;
  createdAt: number;
  updatedAt: number;
  messageCount: number;
  cost: MessageCost;
  groupSlug?: string | null;
}
```

**GroupEntry**:
```typescript
{
  name: string;
  slug: string;
  description?: string;
  createdAt: number;
  updatedAt: number;
  sessionCount: number;
}
```

**ChatMessage** (frontend message):
```typescript
| { role: 'user'; text: string; images?: [...] }
| { role: 'assistant'; text: string }
| { role: 'system'; text: string }
| {
    role: 'tool';
    toolName: string;
    toolInput: Record<string, unknown>;
    toolCallId: string;
    output?: string;
    isError?: boolean;
  }
| { role: 'result'; cost: MessageCost }
| { role: 'error'; text: string }
```

**ServerMessage** (WebSocket protocol):
```typescript
| { type: 'session:init'; sessionId: string; model: string; cwd: string }
| { type: 'assistant:text'; text: string }
| { type: 'assistant:delta'; text: string }
| { type: 'tool:start'; toolCallId: string; toolName: string; toolInput: ... }
| { type: 'tool:result'; toolCallId: string; output: string; isError: boolean }
| { type: 'result'; sessionId: string; cost: MessageCost }
| { type: 'sync:messages'; sessionId: string; messages: Message[]; isGenerating: boolean; streamingText: string }
| { type: 'error'; message: string; errorCode?: string }
| { type: 'stopped' }
```

## Data Flow

### New Chat

```
User clicks "New Chat"
  ↓
SessionListPage sets selected.id = 'new'
  ↓
ChatDetailPanel renders NewChat component
  ↓
NewChat creates usePi() hook (no sessionId)
  ↓
usePi connects to WebSocket, sends first prompt
  ↓
Backend spawns Pi process, sends 'session:init'
  ↓
usePi updates sessionId, URL changes to /chat/{sessionId}
  ↓
SessionListPage re-renders, session appears in list
  ↓
Chat continues normally
```

### Resume Existing Session

```
User clicks session in SessionList
  ↓
SessionListPage.useEffect sets selected.id = sessionId
  ↓
ChatDetailPanel renders SessionChat with sessionId
  ↓
SessionChat calls usePi(sessionId) hook
  ↓
usePi.useEffect calls getSession(sessionId)
  ↓
Loads messages from server, populates local state
  ↓
User sends first new message
  ↓
usePi sends prompt with sessionId to WebSocket
  ↓
Backend loads session from disk, injects history in system prompt
  ↓
Pi process continues with context
```

### Model Switching

```
User selects different model in Settings
  ↓
onChange handler calls setSelectedModel(modelId)
  ↓
Next sendPrompt() includes { model: selectedModel }
  ↓
WebSocket sends to backend with model ID
  ↓
New Pi process spawned with specified model
  ↓
session:init message returns new model
```

### Attachment Upload

```
User clicks image/URL in InputArea
  ↓
EmbeddableChat.handleAttach{Image|Webpage}()
  ↓
POST /scrape or /upload with sessionId/provider
  ↓
Attachment added to state with loading=true
  ↓
Response includes attachmentId
  ↓
Attachment loading=false, displays thumbnail
  ↓
User sends message
  ↓
Attachment prepended to prompt text
  ↓
Server relocates file to session directory
```

## Key Patterns

### 1. Streaming Text Optimization

```typescript
const streamingRef = useRef('');
const rafRef = useRef<number | null>(null);

function flushStreaming() {
  if (rafRef.current !== null) cancelAnimationFrame(rafRef.current);
  rafRef.current = requestAnimationFrame(() => {
    setStreamingText(streamingRef.current);
    rafRef.current = null;
  });
}

// On delta: accumulate + flush
streamingRef.current += msg.text;
flushStreaming();

// On message end: commit to messages
function commitStreaming() {
  if (!streamingRef.current) return;
  setMessages((prev) => [...prev, { role: 'assistant', text: streamingRef.current }]);
  streamingRef.current = '';
  setStreamingText('');
}
```

**Benefit**: Avoids rendering on every character; batches updates with RAF

### 2. Auto-Scroll Detection

```typescript
const userScrolledRef = useRef(false);

const handleScroll = () => {
  const { scrollTop, scrollHeight, clientHeight } = viewport;
  const atBottom = scrollHeight - scrollTop - clientHeight < 60;
  userScrolledRef.current = !atBottom;
  setShowJumpToBottom(!atBottom);
};

// Auto-scroll only if user hasn't scrolled up
useEffect(() => {
  if (!userScrolledRef.current) {
    bottomRef.current?.scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' });
  }
}, [messages, streamingText]);
```

**Benefit**: Respects user's scroll position; auto-scrolls only when at bottom

### 3. Textarea Auto-Resize

```typescript
useEffect(() => {
  const textarea = textareaRef.current;
  if (!textarea) return;
  textarea.style.height = 'auto';
  textarea.style.height = Math.min(textarea.scrollHeight, 200) + 'px';
}, [input]);
```

**Behavior**: Grows up to 200px, then scrolls internally

### 4. Debounced Save

```typescript
useEffect(() => {
  if (!sessionIdRef.current || messages.length === 0) return;

  if (saveTimerRef.current !== null) clearTimeout(saveTimerRef.current);

  const sid = sessionIdRef.current;
  const snapshot = messages;
  saveTimerRef.current = window.setTimeout(() => {
    saveMessages(sid, snapshot);
    saveTimerRef.current = null;
  }, SAVE_DEBOUNCE_MS);

  return () => {
    if (saveTimerRef.current !== null) clearTimeout(saveTimerRef.current);
  };
}, [messages]);
```

**Benefit**: Saves after 1s of no message changes; avoids spam

---

## Hardcoded Configuration

### Whisper Transcription

**Location**: `InputArea.tsx:blobToWav()` and `handleMicClick()`

**Endpoint**: `http://macmini:8178/inference`

**Status**: ⚠️ Hardcoded - needs parameterization

### Session Idle Timeout

**Location**: Backend (see PI_HARNESS_REBUILD.md)

**Value**: 1 hour

---

## Known Issues & TODOs

1. **OpenCodeModelPicker**: Still imported in InputArea but Settings component handles model selection. Can remove if consolidation complete.

2. **Whisper endpoint**: Hardcoded to `http://macmini:8178`. Should be configurable.

3. **ChatList placeholder**: `Chat/ChatList/index.tsx` is just a placeholder, contains no actual implementation.

4. **Legacy type aliases**: In `types.ts` - marked for removal after Phase 9 cleanup.

5. **Panel channel**: Uses string key `'chat:selected-session'` for panel synchronization. Could be more type-safe.

---

## Integration Points

### WebSocket (`usePi.ts`)

**URL**: `/api/pi/chat/ws?token={token}`

**Protocol**: See `ServerMessage` types above

**Lifecycle**:
1. Open: empty
2. Message: handle ServerMessage
3. Close: session stays in memory with idle timeout
4. Error: display error message

### REST API

**Base**: `/api/pi/`

**Endpoints**:
- Sessions: `/sessions` (list), `/sessions/{id}` (get/update/delete), `/sessions/search` (search), `/sessions/{id}/move` (move)
- Groups: `/groups` (list/create), `/groups/{slug}` (update/delete)
- Models: `/models` (list)

**Auth**: Bearer token in Authorization header

### Storage

**Cache Keys**:
- `PI_SESSIONS`: SessionEntry[] array
- `PI_GROUPS`: GroupEntry[] array
- `PI_MODELS`: ModelOption[] array

**Persistence**: TanStack Query with localStorage (default)
