Renn F 48aa4f7c14 [F021] handle SSE transport errors so the intake composer isn't stuck
openStream registered listeners for the server-sent event kinds but not
the EventSource's own transport-level error. The 'error' kind IS in
LIVE_EVENT_KINDS, so a server-sent event:error (JSON MessageEvent) was
handled — but a dropped connection / dead session fires a plain Event
with NO data, which JSON.parse(undefined) swallowed in the try/catch,
so the stream 'stayed open' (EventSource loop-reconnected a session that
no longer existed) and isSending stayed true — the composer was
permanently disabled.

Fix: route the 'error' event by payload. A MessageEvent with string
data is a server-sent error → handleEvent (unchanged). A no-data Event
is a transport error → handleTransportError: clear streamingId/activity,
set isSending false, add a 'connection lost' error message, keep a
draft/batch preview up (so the human can still act on a proposed card)
else land on 'chatting', and close the dead stream so EventSource stops
loop-reconnecting.

Tests: renderHook + a jsdom EventSource double that fires a transport
error (plain Event, no data) vs a server-sent error (MessageEvent +
JSON). RED: transport error left isSending true; GREEN: resets to
false, surfaces the message, closes the stream. The server-sent-JSON
path is unchanged. Full panel suite (129) green; eslint/typecheck/prettier clean.

RoboCo Control Panel

Next.js 16 control panel for the RoboCo AI agent system. Formerly a separate repository (rennf93/roboco-panel), now vendored under panel/ in this monorepo so docker compose up -d brings up the whole stack from one place.

Stack

  • Next.js 16 (App Router, standalone output)
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Radix UI primitives
  • dnd-kit for drag/drop (kanban)
  • pnpm for package management

Running in production (the normal path)

Use the root-level Docker Compose:

# from the repo root (one level up from this directory)
docker compose up -d

The panel is built as part of the compose stack via docker/panel.Dockerfile and served internally on port 3000. Nginx (also in the compose stack) is the single externally-exposed service on http://localhost:3000 and routes:

  • /api/* and /ws/* → orchestrator (FastAPI, port 8000)
  • everything else → the Next.js panel

The panel uses relative URLs (/api/v1, /ws) so nothing here needs a backend URL in .env.

Running the panel alone for UI development

cd panel
pnpm install
pnpm dev

That gives you Next dev-server on localhost:3000, but you still need the orchestrator reachable at localhost:8000 (or via nginx) for API calls to work. Easiest: docker compose up -d the backend services, then run pnpm dev against that.

Build scripts

  • pnpm dev — development server with hot reload
  • pnpm build — production build (outputs .next/standalone/)
  • pnpm start — run the standalone build
  • pnpm lint — ESLint

Where things live

  • src/app/ — Next.js App Router pages
  • src/components/ — React components (organized by feature: tasks, agents, channels, …)
  • src/lib/api/ — typed API client (thin wrappers over fetch)
  • src/lib/ — constants, utilities, WebSocket hooks
  • src/types/ — shared TypeScript types mirroring backend schemas

Backend schema changes

When the backend changes response shapes, mirror them in src/types/ and the relevant src/lib/api/ module. Keep API paths relative so nginx routing keeps working.
