## Summary
The RDE dashboard was bundled into the `@hexclave/cli` npm tarball
(~165MB). That made the `npx @latest` auto-update re-exec pull a huge
tarball, which tripped download firewalls (Socket Firewall
false-positives on Replit → `Lock compromised`).
This decouples the dashboard from the CLI: it's published as a **GitHub
Release artifact** (a zip + `manifest.json` on a floating
`dashboard-latest` release) and fetched at runtime, cached on disk. The
dashboard now rolls forward **independently of the CLI version**
(assuming newest dashboards stay compatible with older CLIs — no compat
gate yet, by design for now).
## How it works
- **Runtime** (`packages/cli/src/lib/dashboard-release.ts`): on
`hexclave dev`, fetch `manifest.json` (`{version, sha256, url}`) from a
stable, no-API GitHub URL → cache under
`<dirname(devEnvStatePath())>/dashboards/<version>/` → streamed
download, **sha256 verify**, extract via the existing `extract-zip` dep,
atomic publish. Offline → fall back to the newest cached build.
- **Wiring** (`dev.ts`): `startDashboardIfNeeded` resolves/launches the
cached release; the restart decision now compares the **dashboard
release** version (not the CLI version). `HEXCLAVE_DASHBOARD_DIR` runs a
local build with zero network; a custom dev dashboard command bypasses
releases entirely.
- **No more npx self-update**: the `npx @latest` re-exec in `hexclave
dev` is removed entirely (along with `self-update.ts`, the
`--no-auto-update` flag, and the binName plumbing that only built the
npx call). It existed to keep the bundled dashboard fresh; now the
dashboard self-updates from GitHub, so the re-exec only added an npx
download on every run — the firewall surface. Users update the CLI via
npm/npx themselves.
- **Publishing** (`scripts/package-dashboard-release.mjs` +
`.github/workflows/dashboard-release.yaml`): build standalone → zip →
write manifest → publish immutable `dashboard-v<version>` release +
clobber the `dashboard-latest` manifest. **Fails loudly** if an existing
tag's asset sha differs from a fresh build (dashboard changed without a
version bump → would otherwise advertise a hash the served zip doesn't
match).
- **Build**: CLI build is now `tsdown`-only (no bundled dashboard);
`turbo.json` drops the dashboard standalone build from the CLI build
graph.
## Testing
- **Unit**: 135 CLI tests pass (manifest parsing incl. path-safe version
validation, URL resolution, version picking, dir override).
- **End-to-end (no GitHub)**: a localhost HTTP server + fixture zip
exercised the full fetch path — download, sha256 verify, cache-hit,
roll-forward, **corrupt-sha rejection**, offline→cache fallback (9/9).
- **Real dashboard, no GitHub**: built the standalone, served the real
76MB zip over `python -m http.server`, and confirmed `hexclave dev`
downloads → verifies → extracts → **boots** the dashboard and registers
an RDE session against the hosted backend. Also validated
`HEXCLAVE_DASHBOARD_DIR` boot.
## Review
Three review agents (runtime correctness, packaging/workflow, code
quality) ran; valid findings fixed: path-traversal hardening on
`version`, a concurrent cache rm/rename race, the workflow
sha-mismatch/atomicity gap, plus `errorMessage` dedup and added tests.
## Notes / follow-ups
- No CLI↔dashboard compatibility gate yet (assumes always-compatible);
easy to add later via a min-CLI field in the manifest. This matters more
now that the CLI no longer auto-updates.
- The publish workflow has not run yet, so the first push to `main` will
create the `dashboard-latest` release.

## Summary
Replace `parseHexclaveConfigFileContent` /
`evaluateStaticConfigExpression` (Babel AST walker) with
`evalConfigFileContent` using `jiti.evalModule()`. Move
`renderConfigFileContent` from `hexclave-config-file.ts` →
`config-rendering.ts`.
Added `jiti` dep to `@hexclave/shared` (already used in shared-backend,
dashboard, backend, cli).

## Summary by cubic
Migrates trusted config evaluation to `jiti` and moves GitHub config
edits to a server‑side repo agent running in a Vercel Sandbox with an
apply → review → commit flow. Adds run tracking, safer defaults, and a
dashboard diff review with clear, user‑facing errors.
- **New Features**
- Two‑phase flow and endpoints: POST `/internal/config/github/apply`,
`.../commit`, `.../cancel`, plus GET `.../run`; each run tracked by
`run_id` in `ConfigAgentRun` (status, stage, progress, diff, base
commit, sandbox id). Run ids validated as UUIDs.
- Repo agent runs in a fresh sandboxed clone; warm‑boot via base
snapshot (`apps/backend/scripts/config-agent/build-image.ts`,
`HEXCLAVE_CONFIG_AGENT_BASE_SNAPSHOT_ID`). Captures a unified diff and
base commit, stops the sandbox at review, then rebuilds files from the
stored diff on commit. Returns `commitSha`, uses a safe conflict error,
and strips OAuth tokens from git remotes.
- Dashboard: non‑dismissible progress and diff preview using
`@pierre/diffs` with a cross‑tab run watcher; blocks conflicting edits
and supports cancel/commit review flow. Adds an RDE “apply” path with
progress UI.
- AI proxy defaults to `/api/latest/integrations/ai-proxy` (production
passthrough via `PRODUCTION_AI_PROXY_BASE_URL`); adds
`anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5`.
- **Refactors and Fixes**
- Trusted eval via `@hexclave/shared` `config-eval` using `jiti`;
browser‑safe parsing for untrusted GitHub content; rendering remains in
`config-rendering`. Clear separation of Node‑only code into
`config-eval`.
- Shared agent/updater logic moved to `@hexclave/shared-backend`;
removed deterministic fast path so all writes go through the agent to
preserve authoring. CLI and emulator updated to use `config-eval`.
- Defaults/renames: config file `hexclave.config.ts` (CLI `config pull`
defaults to this path), workflow `hexclave-config-sync.yml`; env
prefixes standardized to `HEXCLAVE_*`.
- Integrity and UX: commit advancement gated to the current linked
repo/branch; cancel clears any captured diff; elapsed timer handles late
starts and the not‑started sentinel; loader vs invalid config export
errors separated for accurate messaging.
- Onboarding and seeds: wizard now uses environment‑based OAuth provider
setup with updated tests; corrected GitHub owner in dummy project
seeding.

## Problem
The demo's `payments-demo` page white-screens on load with:
```
Item with ID "emails_per_month" not found. (KnownError.fromJson)
```
## Root cause
The demo runs (via the CLI `dev` / development-environment flow) against
an auto-created **Development Environment Project**, which is
provisioned from `examples/demo/hexclave.config.ts`. That config
declares items `api_calls` / `seats` and products `pro` / `team_pro` /
`extra_seats`.
But the demo **code** still referenced the **internal** project's plan
catalog from `@hexclave/shared/plans` — `emails_per_month`, products
`team` / `growth`, `PLAN_LIMITS`, `resolvePlanId`. None of those exist
in the demo's own config, so `team.useItem("emails_per_month")` threw
`ItemNotFound` and crashed the whole page.
Confirmed by dumping the live rendered config
(`tenancy.config.payments`, the exact path the SDK reads) for the
dev-environment project: items `["seats","api_calls"]`, products
`["pro","team_pro","extra_seats"]` — no `emails_per_month`. The
`internal` project's config is healthy and unrelated; this is purely
demo code drift from its own config file.
## Fix
Align the demo code with its own `hexclave.config.ts` (the CLI's
declared source of truth):
- `useItem("seats")` + seat metrics instead of email-quota metrics
- Buy `team_pro` / `extra_seats` instead of `team` / `growth`
- Local `resolveTeamPlan()` instead of `resolvePlanId()` / `PLAN_LIMITS`
- `create-checkout-url` + `config-check` routes updated to the new
catalog
- Copy updates (header, "Free plan" note, manual-end-test instructions)
No backend or provisioning changes — the dev-environment project already
had the correct catalog; only the demo code was stale.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @hexclave/example-demo-app typecheck` — pass
- `pnpm --filter @hexclave/example-demo-app lint` — pass
- Demo page loads cleanly: team card renders (active plan "none", 0
seats granted/available), **Buy Team Pro** / **Buy Extra Seat (add-on)**
buttons present, no crash.
## Note
The demo is treated here as a generic SaaS example (its
`hexclave.config.ts` is the curated source of truth). If the intent was
instead for the demo to exercise the internal project's real plans +
email-quota, the alternative fix would be to update `hexclave.config.ts`
rather than the demo code.

## Summary by cubic
Fixes the payments demo white-screen by aligning it with its own
`hexclave.config.ts` catalog. The page now loads and uses seat-based
metrics and the correct product IDs.
- **Bug Fixes**
- Use `seats` item and seat metrics; drop
`emails_per_month`/`PLAN_LIMITS`/`resolvePlanId` from
`@hexclave/shared/plans` in favor of a local `resolveTeamPlan()`.
- Switch checkout product IDs to `team_pro` and `extra_seats`; update
API validation, labels, and copy.
- Update `config-check` to expect `api_calls`, `seats`, and
`teamProSeats: 25`.

## Summary
Completes the env-var side of the Hexclave rebrand: every
`STACK_*`-prefixed variable (including `NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_*` and
`VITE_STACK_*`) is renamed to `HEXCLAVE_*` across all checked-in `.env`,
`.env.development`, and `.env.example` files (30 files, ~135 keys).
Legacy `STACK_*` names keep working everywhere via dual-read, so
**existing deployments, `.env.local` files, and self-hosted setups need
no immediate migration**.
## How legacy names keep working
- **Server code** already resolves `HEXCLAVE_*` first with `STACK_*`
fallback via `getEnvVariable`. Direct `process.env.STACK_X` readers fed
by the renamed files (prisma seed, e2e tests/helpers, internal-tool
scripts, examples, `prisma.config.ts`) now read `HEXCLAVE_X || STACK_X`.
- **Client code** (Next.js build-time inlining) uses literal dual-read
expressions; the dashboard's `_inlineEnvVars` already had them.
- **Docker/self-hosting**: `docker/server/entrypoint.sh` (shared by the
server and local-emulator images) gets a generic two-way
`HEXCLAVE_`↔`STACK_` env mirror — runs at startup and again before
sentinel replacement — replacing the previous URL-trio-only mirror.
Operators can use either prefix.
## The empty-placeholder trap (`||` vs `??`)
The checked-in templates define empty placeholders (`HEXCLAVE_X=#
comment` parses to `""` via dotenv). With `?? `-based fallbacks, that
empty string would silently shadow a real value under the legacy name —
including legacy vars set in Vercel/CI env at build time, since the
tracked `.env` is present during builds. All fallback chains therefore
treat empty-as-unset (`||`):
- `getEnvVariable` and `getProcessEnv` in `packages/shared`
- the dashboard/docs/example literal dual-reads
- the generated SDK env getters (via
`packages/template/scripts/generate-env.ts`; the generated
`src/generated/env.ts` files are gitignored and regenerate at build)
## Other notable changes
- Tests that override env now set the canonical `HEXCLAVE_*` name (it
wins over `STACK_*`): e2e `cross-domain-auth`, backend
`internal-feedback-emails` in-source test.
- e2e `helpers.ts` port-prefix expansion loop also matches the
`HEXCLAVE_` prefixes.
- `docker/local-emulator/generate-env-development.mjs` reads source keys
canonically (legacy fallback) and emits canonical keys; regenerated
output matches.
- `rotate-secrets.sh` falls back to
`HEXCLAVE_DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING`.
- Docs code snippets (`docs/code-examples`) renamed outright to
canonical names, consistent with #1571.
- OAuth callback `console.warn` in `packages/template/src/lib/auth.ts`
now says Hexclave.
## Migration note for the team
Local `.env.local` files with legacy `STACK_*` overrides keep working
**unless** the override targets a var that `.env.development` now sets
to a real (non-empty) `HEXCLAVE_*` value — the canonical name wins over
file precedence. Rename those keys in your `.env.local` once.
## Verification
- `typecheck` + `lint` pass on every touched package (shared, backend,
dashboard, e2e, internal-tool, cli, docs, template). Pre-existing
failures on dev (`admin-app-impl.ts` typecheck, dashboard metrics-page
errors) are unchanged (identical error counts with/without this change).
- `getEnvVariable`/`getProcessEnv` fallback semantics smoke-tested
directly (empty-HEXCLAVE → legacy fallback, HEXCLAVE wins when set,
defaults intact).
- `internal-feedback-emails` in-source vitest passes; emulator env
generator `--check` passes; `bash -n` on touched shell scripts.
- Two independent review agents audited the diff for correctness bugs
and coverage gaps; all confirmed findings are fixed in the third commit.

## Summary by cubic
Renamed all `STACK_*` env vars (including
`NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_*`/`VITE_STACK_*`) to `HEXCLAVE_*` across env
templates and code, with dual‑read that treats empty as unset, detects
conflicts, ignores post‑build sentinels, and falls back to legacy names.
All GitHub Actions now use `HEXCLAVE_*`; local‑emulator e2e is fixed by
setting `NEXT_PUBLIC_HEXCLAVE_IS_LOCAL_EMULATOR` in CI.
- **Refactors**
- Added conflict‑aware dual‑read helpers (prefer `HEXCLAVE_*`,
empty‑as‑unset, ignore post‑build sentinels, preserve empty passthrough)
and used them across `packages/shared` (resolver + tests),
`apps/dashboard` inline/public envs (with tests), `apps/backend` Prisma
config/seed and vitest (accept both prefixes), `packages/cli`
(API/Dashboard URLs, project ID, `HEXCLAVE_EMULATOR_HOME`; tests),
Docker (`entrypoint.sh` mirroring + `rotate-secrets.sh` DB URL),
docs/components (`docs/src/lib/env.ts`), and examples; hosted/Vite apps
now error if both spellings differ.
- Port‑prefix expansion includes `HEXCLAVE_*`; backend tests use a new
helper to resolve DB connection strings; Prisma prefers
`HEXCLAVE_DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING` with legacy fallback.
- Generated SDK env getters use plain `HEXCLAVE_*` || `STACK_*` (no
conflict throw); dashboard inline resolver preserves empty/sentinel
passthrough to avoid build failures; docs/examples include dual‑read
utilities.
- Tests now stub canonical `HEXCLAVE_*` flags (e.g., plan limits, bot
challenge, OAuth tokens, hosted handler) to avoid shadowing/conflict
with committed defaults.
- **Migration**
- No immediate action; legacy `STACK_*` names still work.
- If both names are set with different values, builds/scripts error. Set
only `HEXCLAVE_*` or make both equal.
- SDK consumers won’t see conflict throws; update env names to
`HEXCLAVE_*` over time.

* **Chores**
* Migrated environment variable names from the legacy `STACK_*` prefix
to the new `HEXCLAVE_*` prefix across backend, dashboard, tooling,
Docker, and examples.
* Updated environment/config resolution to prefer `HEXCLAVE_*`, treat
empty strings as unset, and detect conflicts when both `STACK_*` and
`HEXCLAVE_*` are set to different values.
* Updated local emulator, server startup, and env-generation workflows
to use the new names (with legacy fallback where applicable).
* **Documentation**
* Updated docs and code examples to reference `HEXCLAVE_*` variables.
* **Tests**
* Refreshed unit and e2e coverage to validate dual-read behavior,
conflict detection, and empty-value handling.

## Summary
Replaces `writeConfigObject` (destructive overwrite) with
`updateConfigObject` — an async, AI-aware updater that preserves
user-authored config structure (imports, external file references,
helpers).
**Dual-path approach:**
- **Fast path** (deterministic, no AI): plain static literal configs →
`override()` + in-memory validation + atomic write
- **Agent path** (custom structure): configs with `import x from
"./file.txt" with { type: "text" }` etc. → Claude agent edits the
external files in place, then validates
**Safety guarantees:**
- Snapshot/restore: config + all relative imports are captured before
the agent runs; rolled back on any failure
- In-memory validation on fast path (never write unvalidated bytes)
- Semantic check when config is evaluable; no-op detection + structural
check when it isn't
- Path traversal guard on imports (rejects `../` escapes)
- Agent isolation: `settingSources: []`, `strictMcpConfig: true`,
`CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY`, no Bash tool
- `scheduleSync` only fires after a successful update
- Bounded 120s timeout on agent runs (configurable via env var)
CI failures are preexisting on `dev`
(`ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH` from overrides move without
lockfile regen); this branch has zero lockfile changes vs dev.

## Documentation
Docs for this feature were added in this branch:
- **New page**
`docs-mintlify/guides/going-further/local-development.mdx` — covers
`stack dev`, the development-environment flow, and how dashboard edits
are written back to the local config file (structure-preserving fast
path vs. assistant path, external `import … with { type: "text" }`
templates, validation + rollback). Added to `docs.json` nav; also fixes
the previously-broken `/guides/going-further/local-development` links
from `index.mdx` and `self-host.mdx`.
- **`docs-mintlify/guides/going-further/cli.mdx`** — added a `stack dev`
("Run a development environment") section.
- **Skill-site AI prompts** — filled in the `config-docs` and
`dashboard-instructions` placeholders under
`packages/stack-shared/src/ai/unified-prompts/skill-site-prompt-parts/`,
and added a structure-preserving note to the setup prompt.
- **`CHANGELOG.md`** — user-facing entry.
