User feedback: the previous flow was a single-screen "name + audience"
dialog that gave AI no context about what the user actually wanted to
make. That worked for the demo but produced messy projects in practice
because everything was decided after the fact in chat.
The new flow asks the user one human question first ("How would you
like to begin?") and then captures the minimum context needed to seed
the AI's first conversation in the project.
Three paths, each is a 2-step setup screen with internal step dots:
- Build your own idea — Step 1: name + audience. Step 2: free-text
"what do you want to build". Becomes the project's vision and the
AI's first-message context.
- Run an open source tool — Step 1: name + audience. Step 2:
segmented tabs to either (a) paste a GitHub link or (b) describe
the kind of tool you want and have Vibn find one. Vision is set
to either "Install and host this open-source project: <url>" or
"Find and install an open-source tool that fits this need: <desc>"
so the AI knows which mode to operate in on first chat.
- Import existing code — Step 1: name + audience + repo URL.
Step 2: optional "what do you want to do with it" textarea.
Public repos only for v1; private-repo OAuth lands later.
Backend:
- /api/projects/create now accepts and persists `creationMode` and
`sourceData` on the project record under a `kickoff` blob:
{ mode, sourceData, vision, createdAt }
The chat endpoint will read this on first turn to seed the AI
with the user's stated intent rather than asking them to re-type
it in chat.
Cleanup:
- Removed FreshIdeaSetup, CodeImportSetup, ChatImportSetup,
MigrateSetup — replaced by BuildSetup, OssSetup, ImportSetup.
- Removed the unused initialWorkspacePath prop from
project-association-prompt (the new flow doesn't take it).
- TypeSelector defaults are restored — the modal opens on the
type-picker step now, not directly on a setup form.
UI building blocks added to setup-shared:
- TextArea (multi-line input)
- StepDots (page indicator)
- SegmentedTabs (generic-typed tab selector, used in OSS Step 2)
- SecondaryButton (used as ← Back inside Step 2)

UX rework after iteration with the user:
- Drop SMS, Analytics, Search, Monitoring categories from the rail.
They were detection-only with no first-class UX behind them; surface
is cleaner without them and they can return when each gets real
flows (auth-style "edit configurables", payment-style "connect").
- Storage no longer tries to detect S3/R2/GCS env vars. Instead it
surfaces the workspace's bundled Vibn-provisioned GCS bucket
(S3-compatible HMAC), with status, region, access id, and a
one-shot env snippet for app config.
- Email category no longer mixes in SMS providers.
- LLM renamed to "Models"; empty state mentions BYOK as upcoming.
- Payments empty state has a "Connect Stripe (coming soon)" CTA;
Stripe detail surfaces the webhook URL guidance.
- Secrets detail now lists actual env-var key names per resource,
grouped by detected provider (Stripe block, OpenAI block, etc.)
with an "Other (project-defined)" catch-all. Each row has Edit +
Rotate icon buttons (currently disabled with tooltips — wire-up
to apps.envs.upsert / services.envs.upsert lands in iter 2).
Live database inspection (Postgres only for now):
- New /api/projects/[id]/databases/[uuid]/tables — auth-scoped, lists
user-tables across non-system schemas via SSH-exec into the
database container's psql. Hard caps: 50 tables, 8s timeout, no
mutating queries possible (only SELECT row_to_json with LIMIT).
- New /api/projects/[id]/databases/[uuid]/preview — returns first 50
rows of a single table. Identifiers locked to /[A-Za-z0-9_]+/ so
splicing them into the SELECT is safe.
- DatabaseTableTree (lazy-fetch, schema-grouped, public-flat,
approximate row counts from pg_class.reltuples) and TableViewer
(sticky-header data grid, zebra rows, per-cell ellipsis at 360px).
- Fix in lib/coolify.ts: listDatabasesInProject was flattening every
db endpoint array (postgresqls, redises, mongodbs…) without
tagging the output rows with the engine. Every consumer was
seeing type=undefined which then bucketed as "unknown" and
blocked the table inspector. Now we tag at the flatten step so
every CoolifyDatabase has a stable type.
- Infrastructure tab: database tile is now expandable inline like
Codebases on Product. Auto-expands the first DB; click any table
to preview rows on the right.
Made-with: Cursor
Three sub-areas, all real, no static placeholders:
Databases — listDatabasesInProject(coolifyProjectUuid). Type is
normalised (postgresql / redis / mongodb / mysql / keydb
/ dragonfly / clickhouse) so the tile subtitle is stable
regardless of how Coolify spells the engine.
Providers — auto-detected from env-var keys across every app + service
in the project. 35+ patterns covering Auth (Clerk, Auth0,
Supabase, NextAuth, SuperTokens, WorkOS, Firebase Auth),
Email (Resend, Mailgun, Postmark, SendGrid, SES, Loops),
SMS (Twilio, Vonage), Payments (Stripe, LemonSqueezy,
Paddle), Analytics (PostHog, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Plausible,
Umami), LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, Mistral, Cohere,
Groq, OpenRouter), Storage (S3, R2, GCS, Supabase),
Search (Algolia, Meilisearch, Typesense), Monitoring
(Sentry, Datadog, LogSnag). Each tile drills down to show
which app/service the keys live in and which keys matched.
Secrets — env-var totals per app/service, sorted by count. Values
are never read or returned from this surface — keys only.
The detail pane explains how to read/edit (via AI chat
with services.envs.* / apps.envs.* MCP tools).
Anatomy endpoint extended in the same single-fetch shape: env vars are
loaded once, then both detectProviders() and summariseSecrets() run
against that one source so we don't double-fetch.
The static What-lives-here grid is gone — every tile shown corresponds
to something that actually exists in the project.
Made-with: Cursor
Anatomy + UI rewrite — locked the conceptual model after user feedback:
Product = "what makes up the thing you're shipping":
- Codebases (Gitea repos)
- Images (Coolify services backed by upstream Docker images: Twenty
CRM, n8n, etc.)
- Dev containers no longer surface here. The vibn-dev-* container is
the AI's workshop, not a product surface; previews it serves still
appear under Hosting → Previews.
Hosting = "where it lives + how it gets there", unified:
- Live: every running endpoint as one list. Each item carries a
source badge ("repo" | "image"), status dot, attached domain, and
last-build summary inline. No separate Build, Domains or Services
categories — those are properties on each Live item.
- Previews: dev container preview URLs (unchanged).
Anatomy endpoint reshaped accordingly:
- product.{codebases, images}
- hosting.{live, previews} (was production/services/previewUrls/domains)
- lastBuild summary fetched per repo-app via listApplicationDeployments
in parallel.
ProjectStagePill rewired to derive Live/Down/Building from hosting.live
+ hosting.previews. dev-container-detail.tsx removed.
services.* MCP tools added so AI agents can manage Coolify services
(Twenty CRM, n8n, …) the same way they manage apps:
- services.list, services.get
- services.start, services.stop
- services.envs.list, services.envs.upsert
All tenant-scoped via getServiceInWorkspace + getOwnedCoolifyProjectUuids.
vibn-dev-* containers stay hidden from services.list.
Made-with: Cursor
The vibn-dev-* services that the AI authors code in conceptually
belong to Product (build surface), not Hosting (runtime + reach).
Anatomy endpoint now splits Coolify services by name prefix:
- vibn-dev-* → product.devContainers[]
- everything else → hosting.services[]
Product tab gains a "Workspace" section above the codebases stack
with a single dev-container tile. Selecting it shows status +
active dev servers in the right pane. Codebase + file selection
behaves the same as before.
Hosting tab restructured from a stack of always-visible cards to
the same tile-rail pattern Product uses: left rail has 4 always-
present categories (Production / Services / Previews / Domains)
each with a count badge, items inside are clickable tiles, right
pane shows details for the selected item. Empty categories show a
one-liner explaining what would appear there — teaches the user
the model on a brand-new project without being preachy.
Made-with: Cursor
Adds GET /api/projects/[id]/anatomy returning the full project shape
in one shot — codebases (Gitea), production apps (Coolify
applications matched by repo URL), dev services (Coolify services in
the project's coolifyProjectUuid), preview URLs (active fs_dev_servers
rows), and aggregated domains. Each tab reads its own slice via the
new useAnatomy() hook so the page never fans out 3+ requests.
Hosting tab is now real: surfaces production / dev services / preview
URLs / domains with empty-state CTAs explaining what each means and
why it's empty when applicable. Includes a banner when nothing at all
is deployed for the project.
Project header pill (previously hard-coded from data.status, which
historically lied) now derives stage from hosting reality:
- any production app running → Live (green)
- any failed app → Down (red)
- any service / preview → Building (blue)
- else → fallback to data.status
Product tab refactored onto the same useAnatomy hook so we no longer
maintain two near-identical fetchers.
Made-with: Cursor
Adds GET /api/projects/[id]/codebases that inspects the project's
Gitea repo:
- apps/* present → one codebase per subdir (Turborepo)
- else → single codebase rooted at the repo root
- no repo → empty list with reason="no_repo"
Product tab now fetches this list, picks the first as the default
selection, and surfaces explicit loading / error / empty states
(previously it hung on "Loading…" when apps/web 404'd in single-
repo projects).
Made-with: Cursor
The current prompt reads like a runbook — operationally correct, but
it produces tool-call orchestrators rather than co-founders. Now that
the thinking pill streams reasoning between tool calls, the chat
bubble should be where opinion + judgment + push-back live.
What changed:
1. New "Voice" section right after the role declaration. Tells the
model to:
- Stop narrating intent before tool calls (the thinking pill
already covers this).
- Pack post-tool summaries with the actual answer + obvious next
step, not a recap of which tools ran.
- Have an opinion. Pick Postgres or Mongo, defend in one sentence,
proceed. Don't bullet pros/cons unless asked.
- Push back when it matters. Refuse "deploy without backups",
suggest Pipedream over n8n if it fits better.
- Surface adjacent risks unprompted (missing env vars, DNS not
propagated, autosave overdue) — the model is protecting the
user's work because the user trusts it to.
- Honest about uncertainty: "I'm not sure but X" beats false
confidence.
- Length matches stakes — short for short Qs, paragraph for big
decisions; never pad, never truncate.
- Markdown sparingly: backticks always for paths/IDs/URLs;
headings only when 3+ sections; otherwise prose.
2. Hard rules tightened:
- "Infer projectId from context, only ask if genuinely ambiguous"
replaces the rote "ask once, then proceed" — saves a tool round
and feels less robotic.
- Added explicit "ship/apps.deploy result is authoritative — don't
verify with gitea_* or shell_exec" rule. Reinforces the fix from
a896d07 at the prompt level so even older Gemini instances pick
it up.
- Added "don't loop blindly on tool errors" — if shell_exec fails
twice, surface and ask. Prevents the 12-tool retry chains from
earlier.
- Removed redundant "be concise" + "summarize after every tool
call" — both are now subsumed by the Voice section's richer
guidance.
Operational middle (Vibn structure, deploy recipes, dev container
workflow, port slot rules, HMR config, troubleshooting) is unchanged.
Those are the guard rails that make Path B work.
Net length: +650 chars on a ~8k-char prompt. Worth it for the voice
shift.
Made-with: Cursor
Today the chat shows ✓-icon tool trays with no narration between
calls — the user has no idea WHY the AI just called fs_edit or
ship. Meanwhile Gemini is producing 500-1000 chars of first-person
reasoning per round ("Updating the Express Server: A Quick
Production Deployment / Right, so we have a basic Express server
here, nothing fancy. I need to get a new version live...") and
billing us for those tokens — we just weren't asking for them.
Three layers:
1. lib/ai/gemini-chat.ts
- generationConfig.thinkingConfig.includeThoughts = true (default
true, opt-out via includeThoughts: false). We're already paying
for thinking tokens regardless of this flag — it just controls
whether the model returns the human-readable summary or only the
compressed signature.
- callGeminiChat now returns { text, thoughts, toolCalls,
finishReason } and the parser splits parts by `part.thought`.
CRITICAL bug avoided: previously `if (part.text) text += ...`
would have lumped thoughts into the chat bubble verbatim.
- streamGeminiChat yields `{ type: 'thinking' }` for thought parts.
2. app/api/chat/route.ts
- New SSE event: `data: {"type":"thinking","text":"..."}`
- Emitted on every round alongside text + tool_start.
- Recovery-summary branch also emits thoughts so even when the
model produces no user-facing prose, the user sees the model's
reasoning instead of dead silence.
3. components/vibn-chat/chat-panel.tsx
- Message gains optional `thoughts` field (in-memory only — we do
NOT persist thoughts to fs_chat_messages; they're ephemeral and
cheap to drop).
- New ThinkingBubble component: dashed-border italic pill above
the assistant bubble, collapsed by default to show one-line
preview, click to expand for full chain. Strips Gemini's
"**Section Heading**" prefixes from the preview.
- SSE handler accumulates thinking chunks onto the in-flight
assistant message.
UX impact: instead of staring at fs.read ✓ fs.edit ✓ ship ✓ icons,
the user sees "Examining the target server file..." → "Shipping the
twenty-crm project..." in real time. Costs zero additional tokens
(we already paid for the thoughts).
Cleanup: removed scripts/probe-gemini-raw.ts and
scripts/probe-recovery-summary.ts — diagnostic scripts that
identified this opportunity, no longer needed in-tree.
Made-with: Cursor
Standard chat-app pattern: while the AI is streaming or running
tools, the Send button morphs into a Stop control (filled square
inside a faded spinner). Click it (or press Esc) to abort the turn.
Why: with MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS=18, a confused tool-loop can chew through
60-90s of compute and tokens. The user had no way to interrupt — they
just watched ✓ icons accumulate. Stop fixes that.
How:
Client (chat-panel.tsx):
- abortRef holds the in-flight AbortController; lives in a ref so the
Stop button can reach it without re-rendering on every chunk.
- sendMessage creates a fresh controller and passes signal to fetch.
- cancelMessage calls .abort(); also bound to Escape while sending.
- Button morph: while `sending`, render lucide Square overlaid on a
faded Loader2 spin, switch onClick to cancelMessage, swap aria/title
to "Stop generating (Esc)".
- Catch DOMException AbortError separately from network errors and
append "(stopped by user)" to the partial assistant message.
- Textarea no longer disabled during streaming so users can queue
the next prompt; Enter still won't submit until the turn ends.
Server (app/api/chat/route.ts):
- request.signal is captured before the ReadableStream and an `aborted`
flag is flipped on the addEventListener('abort', ...) callback.
- Loop checkpoints `aborted` (a) at the top of every round, (b) before
the inner tool-call loop, (c) before each individual executeMcpTool
call. Picks the next safe boundary instead of yanking mid-call.
- On abort: emit a "(stopped by user)" text chunk + an "aborted" event,
skip the round-cap recovery summary (don't pay for tokens the user
just canceled), persist the partial assistant message normally.
- Fetch errors that come from the abort propagating into Gemini's HTTP
client are recognized and downgraded from "error" to "aborted".
- safeClose() guards against double controller.close() when the abort
races with normal completion.

After "ship" succeeded the AI was burning 7+ follow-up tool calls
(gitea_repos_list, gitea_credentials, shell.exec×4, apps_list) trying
to verify what actually got pushed and where it deployed. That ate
through MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS and the user got tool-icon spam with no
narrative summary.
Three fixes:
1. ship now returns commitSha (parsed from `git rev-parse HEAD`),
giteaCommitUrl, giteaBranchUrl, coolifyDeployUrl, coolifyAppUuid,
and a summaryHint string telling the AI exactly what to say next.
2. ship's tool description now explicitly tells Gemini "do NOT call
gitea_*, shell_exec, or apps_* afterwards to verify — the result
is authoritative."
3. MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS 12 → 18 as a safety net for genuinely long chains.
Net effect: ship goes from ~12 tool calls to verify a deploy down to
1 (just ship itself), and the next text turn has the SHA + URL
inline.
Made-with: Cursor
Five focused improvements rolled into one deploy:
1. Pre-allocated preview ports + Traefik labels.
Bake docker labels for ports 3000-3009 into every dev-container
compose at ensureDevContainer() time. Each port has its own
subdomain: preview-<slot>-<projectSlug>-<token>.preview.vibnai.com.
Token is derived from projectId so URLs are stable across restarts
but not enumerable across projects. Joins the coolify external
network so Traefik can reach the container.
This avoids the runtime compose-mutation approach (which would
have required a Coolify redeploy on every dev_server.start, ~30s
latency). The trade-off is a hard cap of 10 concurrent dev servers
per project — fine for the "frontend + API" scenario, the only one
we can practically envision.
Wildcard DNS + Traefik DNS-01 cert remain a manual one-time setup
(see vibn-dev/PREVIEWS.md).
2. dev_server.start: port-collision handling.
Detect listeners via `ss` + `lsof` before launching. Three outcomes:
- port out of slot range → PortOutOfRangeError → 400 with allowedRange
- port owned by a different process → PortBusyError → 409
- port owned by a tracked vibn dev server (same project) → kill
the stale row and reuse the slot (most-recent-write-wins; matches
AI mental model when it does an edit-restart loop)
Surfaced via dedicated MCP error codes so the AI can recover
intelligently instead of looping the same start call.
3. gitea_file_{read,write,delete}: hard-removed from AI tool list.
These tools competed with fs.* and tempted the AI into the slow
path. Pulled from VIBN_TOOL_DEFINITIONS but kept in the MCP
dispatcher for 30 days for any external clients still using them.
System prompt rewritten to make Path B the only documented way to
author code; gitea_repo_* + gitea_branches_* remain because they
handle one-time orchestration with no fs.* equivalent.
4. System prompt: HMR + preview-port discipline.
New section covering Vite HMR (clientPort:443 wss), Next dev
(-H 0.0.0.0), and Express (HOST=0.0.0.0). Explicit "ports must be
3000-3009" rule + "if PORT_BUSY don't blindly retry" guidance.
5. Cron docs (vibn-dev/CRON.md).
/etc/cron.d/vibn-path-b template + smoke commands for autosave
and idle-sweep. Wires both 5-minute jobs that already have admin
endpoints (POST /api/admin/path-b/{autosave,idle-sweep}).
MCP version bump 2.6.0 -> 2.7.0. Smoke test: 65 tool defs (down from
68 after gitea_file_* removal), all accepted by Gemini.
Made-with: Cursor
Surfaced by the live Path B test: AI fired 7 tool calls (fs.read,
fs.edit, kill, dev_server.start, curl, dev_server.logs, ...) in a single
turn, the loop exited at MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS, and the user saw only a tray
of ✓ icons — no text reply.
Two changes:
1. Bump MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS 6 → 12. Path B iteration chains routinely run
long; 6 was tuned for Path A's much-shorter Coolify-orchestration
sequences.
2. When the loop exits because of the cap (the last assistant turn was
a tool call, not a finish), force one more no-tools Gemini call
with an explicit "summarize the result, do NOT call tools" prompt.
That gives the user a sentence or two of context instead of a wall
of green checkmarks. Wrapped in try/catch so the stream still
terminates cleanly if Gemini errors.
Made-with: Cursor
Two bugs caught by the live end-to-end test:
1. Tool dispatch mismatch.
Gemini tool name "dev_server_list" runs through executeMcpTool's
_-to-. converter (toolName.replace(/_/g, '.')) and arrives as
"dev.server.list". The dispatcher only had cases for "dev_server.list",
so all four dev_server.* tools 404'd as "Unknown tool".
The AI gracefully fell back to shell.exec + nohup, so Express still
ran — but the dev_servers table never got populated and the preview
URL machinery was bypassed. Add aliases for both underscore and
fully-dotted forms.
2. State machine never transitioned.
ensureDevContainer wrote state='provisioning'; nothing ever flipped
it to 'running'. As a result the idle-sweep (which filters by
state='running') never saw a candidate to suspend.
Use the first successful exec as the authoritative liveness signal:
touchActivity() now also flips provisioning|suspended → running and
clears suspended_at.
Surfaced by the live trace: AI tried dev_server_list, got 404, fell
back to manually grepping the process table.
Made-with: Cursor
Completes the rest of the Path B tool surface:
- dev_server.{start,stop,list,logs}: nohup processes inside the dev
container, track PID/port/preview-url in fs_dev_servers. Each gets
a randomized preview subdomain (preview.vibnai.com base; Traefik
wildcard wiring is staged in /vibn-dev/PREVIEWS.md but the Coolify
compose hot-update step is deferred — see file for the recommended
pre-allocated-port-range approach).
- ship: git init (if needed) -> add/commit/push to the project's
Gitea repo via the workspace bot PAT, then triggers a Coolify
production deploy if the project is linked to one. Returns push
output + deployment_uuid.
- /api/admin/path-b/autosave [POST { projectId | sweep:true }]:
force-pushes /workspace to vibn-autosave/main in Gitea. Throttled
to once per 5 min per project. Records every push in fs_dev_autosaves
for audit. Treat Gitea as canonical, container disk as ephemeral.
- /api/admin/path-b/idle-sweep [POST?minutes=30]: suspends every
running dev container whose last_active_at is older than `minutes`.
Wire to a 5-min cron. Idempotent.
- Compose template hardened: pull_policy: never (use locally-built
image, no registry round-trip) + per-project bridge network
(vibn-dev-net-<slug>) so dev containers can't reach internal Vibn
services.
- vibn-dev/setup-on-coolify.sh: one-shot script to build vibn-dev:latest
on the Coolify host. Run before first chat session uses Path B.
- vibn-tools.ts: dev_server_{start,stop,list,logs} + ship Gemini tool
defs added. Smoke test passes — 68 tool definitions accepted.
- MCP version 2.5.0 -> 2.6.0 so /api/mcp tells us when the new build
is live.
Plan doc updated to reflect what shipped vs what's still manual
(DNS wildcard, Traefik cert, build-on-host script run, gitea_file_*
hard-remove deferred to allow A/B).
Made-with: Cursor
Kicks off Path B (AI_PATH_B_EXECUTION_PLAN.md): each Vibn project gets
its own vibn-dev Coolify service that the AI drives directly via shell
and filesystem tools. Sub-second iteration vs the 5-min Gitea redeploy
loop.
What's in this commit (week 1, slice 1):
- vibn-dev Dockerfile: small Ubuntu base (~500 MB target). git, ripgrep,
python3, mise. Language toolchains lazy-install on first use.
- lib/dev-container.ts: ensureDevContainer / suspend / resume /
execInDevContainer. Backed by a new fs_project_dev_containers table.
- lib/feature-flags.ts + /api/admin/path-b/{disable,enable}: kill switch.
Bearer NEXTAUTH_SECRET flips path_b_disabled, propagates in ~10s.
- New MCP tools wired into /api/mcp: devcontainer.{ensure,status,suspend},
shell.exec, fs.{read,write,edit,list,delete,glob,grep}. All enforce
workspace isolation via fs_projects ownership check.
- vibn-tools.ts: 11 new Gemini tool defs (smoke test passes, 63 total).
- chat system prompt: shell-first guidance; gitea_file_* marked
deprecated for iterative work (still available, removed week 3).
Safety nets baked in:
- pathBGuard() returns 503 from every Path B tool when the kill switch
flips
- fs.* paths locked to /workspace
- ensureResourceInWorkspaceProjects via fs_project_dev_containers PK
- per-project resource limits (1 vCPU, 1 GiB RAM) on the compose spec
Still pending (queued):
- dev_server.* (preview URLs through Traefik)
- ship tool (push to Gitea + trigger prod deploy)
- auto-push autosave to vibn-autosave/main every 5 min
- idle-suspend cron after 30 min inactivity
- HMR-through-Traefik spike
- eval harness

Closes the AI's self-reported gap: "I cannot directly commit or push code".
New MCP capabilities (8) — all scoped to the workspace's Gitea org via
requireGiteaOrg + ensureRepoOwnerInOrg:
- gitea.repos.list — discover existing repos
- gitea.repo.get — metadata (default branch, clone URL)
- gitea.repo.create — mint a new private repo with auto-init
- gitea.file.read — read a file (or list a directory)
- gitea.file.write — create/update one file in one commit
- gitea.file.delete — delete a file (auto-resolves sha)
- gitea.branches.list — list branches with head sha
- gitea.branch.create — branch off an existing branch
Wired through:
- lib/gitea.ts: giteaReadFile, giteaListContents, giteaListBranches,
giteaCreateBranch, giteaListOrgRepos, giteaDeleteFile.
- lib/ai/vibn-tools.ts: 8 new Gemini tool declarations (53 total).
- app/api/chat/route.ts: system prompt now teaches the end-to-end
scaffold-then-deploy recipe so the AI stops deferring to the user.
MCP capability descriptor bumped to version 2.5.0.

Stage 3 of per-project Coolify isolation. Adds an authoritative ownership
table so apps_list { projectId } returns ONLY the resources actually owned
by that Vibn project, even when multiple Vibn projects share a single
Coolify project (the legacy workspace-level vibn-ws-{slug}).
- New table fs_project_resources (project_id, resource_uuid, type, workspace).
Auto-created on first use.
- lib/projects.ts: linkResourceToProject / unlinkResource /
getProjectResourceUuids / getProjectIdForResource helpers.
- apps_list { projectId }: when the project's coolifyProjectUuid equals the
legacy workspace project, restrict results to explicitly-linked resources.
When it has a dedicated Coolify project, return everything in that project.
- apps_create / databases_create: auto-link the newly-created resource to
the requesting Vibn project.
- apps_delete / databases_delete / services_delete: unlink on success.
- projects_get → possibleDeployments: prefer explicit links; fuzzy-match
fallback only fires when no link table entry exists yet.
- POST /api/projects/backfill-isolation: idempotent migration that mints a
dedicated Coolify project for every Vibn project AND records existing
coolifyServiceUuid/coolifyAppUuid/coolifyDatabaseUuid links. Resolves
the "Twenty CRM project shows n8n" bug for legacy projects without
needing to physically move services in Coolify.

Every new Vibn project was being seeded with:
- a turborepo scaffold pushed to its Gitea repo
(apps/product, apps/website, apps/admin, apps/storybook)
- 4 corresponding Coolify services that nobody ever deployed
Both predate templates / GitHub imports / on-demand AI deploys and
created noise in every workspace's Coolify view (and confused the AI
about what was actually running).
Now project creation provisions just:
- a Gitea repo (empty unless GitHub mirror is requested)
- a dedicated Coolify project ready to receive deploys
Apps land in the project via apps_create on demand — what the user
actually wants, not a guess. The lib/scaffold/turborepo/ files remain
in source for future opt-in re-introduction.
Made-with: Cursor
Each Vibn project now gets its OWN Coolify project named
vibn-{workspace-slug}-{project-slug}. All apps/databases/services
deployed for the project land inside that Coolify project, giving
us clean grouping, cascading delete, and per-project domain
namespaces.
Changes:
- New lib/projects.ts: ensureProjectCoolifyProject (idempotent
create/lookup), getProjectCoolifyUuid, getOwnedCoolifyProjectUuids
- /api/projects/create: pre-insert row, mint per-project Coolify
project, then complete the row with productData (preserves the
coolifyProjectUuid that was just set)
- apps.list (MCP): without projectId, aggregates across ALL
workspace-owned Coolify projects; with projectId, scopes to
that project's Coolify project. Returns coolifyProjectUuid
on each result so the AI knows where things live.
- apps.create (MCP): accepts projectId; auto-mints the Vibn
project's Coolify project on first deploy if missing
- apps_list/apps_create tool defs: projectId param surfaced
- System prompt: Project as first-class — planning + live as
facets of ONE thing, never as separate worlds. AI told to
always pass projectId on apps_create.
Stage 2 (next): set-aware ensureResourceInProject across all
single-resource MCP tools (apps.get/delete/exec/etc.) and
cascading delete via projects.delete.

Project records and Coolify deployments live in separate worlds —
nothing writes the Coolify UUID back into fs_projects.data on deploy.
Now projects.get also scans apps + services in the workspace and
returns any whose name fuzzy-matches the project (lowercased token
overlap), plus any explicitly-linked one. Self-healing forever; the
AI can immediately tell the user what's running for a project even
when the link was never stored.

Coolify's /api/v1/services response does not include a `project` field.
Services belong to environments and environments belong to projects.
The old filter checked s.project.uuid (always undefined) and silently
dropped every service from the result, so compose-stack apps like
Twenty CRM never showed up in apps.list.
Now we resolve the project's environment IDs via getProject() and
filter services where environment_id is in that set. Also surface the
public service's fqdn in the response (extracted from s.applications)
so the AI can immediately tell the user where the app lives.

The workspace Activity page (/[workspace]/activity) was calling
/api/activity which did not exist, so the feed was always empty.
New route aggregates agent_sessions (builds/deploys) and fs_projects
(creation/status changes) across all user projects, returning
ActivityItem[] sorted by date descending.

projects_get was dumping raw JSONB including turborepo scaffold fields
(product/website/admin/storybook sub-app configs), which Gemini mistook
for live deployed services. Now returns a clean summary with only the
fields relevant to the AI. Also updated the system prompt to explicitly
distinguish Vibn project records (planning artifacts) from Coolify apps
(actual running services), instructing the model to call apps_list when
the user asks what's live.

fs_chat_threads and fs_chat_messages were referenced in code but
never added to the migration script. Added ensureChatTables() called
at startup of both /api/chat and /api/chat/threads routes — safe,
idempotent, and runs once per process lifetime. Also backfilled the
SQL migration file for documentation.

Gemini 3.1 Pro thinking model requires thought_signature to be echoed
in functionResponse. SSE stream doesn't reliably include it in individual
chunks. Switch tool-calling rounds to non-streaming generateContent which
always returns the complete response with thought_signature present.

Thinking models attach a thought_signature to functionCall parts.

URL param 'mark-account' != workspace slug 'mark'. Fetch default token
from /api/workspaces?include_default_token=true which resolves the real
slug server-side.
Made-with: Cursor
- ensureWorkspaceForUser() now calls mintWorkspaceApiKey('default') on first workspace creation
- Legacy workspaces without a default key get one minted on first request
- GET /api/workspaces/[slug]/keys/default reveals (or mints) the default token for session users
- Chat panel fetches the token automatically on mount, caches it in localStorage
- No manual setup needed — tool calling works immediately on first sign-in
Made-with: Cursor
- Right-docked chat panel on all workspace pages ([workspace]/layout.tsx)
- Streaming SSE responses with Gemini 3.1 Pro preview via generativelanguage API
- Full tool-calling loop (up to 6 rounds): deploys apps, lists projects, registers
domains, fetches logs — all via existing MCP dispatcher
- Persistent conversation history: fs_chat_threads + fs_chat_messages tables (Postgres)
- Thread management: create, list, rename (auto-title from first message), delete
- Panel collapses to a tab; open state persisted to localStorage
- Read-only mode hint when no MCP token is present
- Graceful content margin shift when panel is open

The Coolify UI shows a "Required Port: 3000 — All domains must
include this port number" hint on service templates. That hint is
load-bearing: when the URL passed to `setServiceDomains` includes
:<upstream_port>, Coolify's template engine auto-generates everything
that 2.4.5-2.4.7 were doing by hand:
- traefik.http.services.<svc>.loadbalancer.server.port label
- SERVICE_FQDN_<APP>=<fqdn> (no sslip.io leak)
- SERVICE_URL_<APP>=https://<fqdn>
- SERVICE_FQDN_<APP>_<PORT>=<fqdn>:<port>
- SERVICE_URL_<APP>_<PORT>=https://<fqdn>:<port>
Verified end-to-end with twenty:
setServiceDomains(uuid, [{ name:'twenty', url:'https://crm.mark.vibnai.com:3000' }])
followed by `compose up -d --force-recreate twenty` produced HTTP/2
200 from https://crm.mark.vibnai.com on first hit, with the
loadbalancer label present, .env clean, and zero env-rewriting
required.
Changes:
- apps.create template path now reads template.port from the catalog
and calls setServiceDomains with https://<fqdn>:<port>
- listServiceTemplates now accepts port as either number or numeric
string (Coolify ships both shapes in the catalog)
- applyCoolifyPostDeployFixes simplified from ~200 lines to ~50:
drops env rewrite, label injection, and force-recreate steps;
keeps proxy network attach + (background) proxy restart
- CoolifyPostDeployResult.steps shrinks to { proxyNetwork, proxyRestart }
- Removes the python:3-alpine SSH dependency entirely
- buildPythonRunner helper removed

The post-deploy step that restarts coolify-proxy was running
synchronously inside the HTTP request handler. coolify-proxy is the
same gateway that's serving the request itself, so the restart
killed our outbound response mid-flight — the agent saw curl exit
16 (HTTP/2 framing error) instead of our nicely-formatted result.
Switch to a fire-and-forget shell:
nohup sh -c '(sleep 3 && docker restart coolify-proxy) ...' &
The SSH command returns within ~50ms, we finish the HTTP response,
and Traefik re-discovers labels 3s later — same end state as before
but without breaking the calling request.

Two fixes for transient Coolify queue lag observed when smoke-testing
v2.4.5:
1. ensureServiceReachable no longer false-fails on early `exited` status.
Coolify's queue worker can take 60-120s to dequeue a `start` request;
during that window service.applications[*].status returns the stale
`exited` (= "never started") state. Previously the polling loop
treated that as terminal failure after 90s, returning started:false
on stacks that were about to come up healthy.
The new logic requires "evidence of activity" (status starting:* or
running:* seen at least once) before treating subsequent `exited`
reports as terminal. Until activity is observed, the loop just keeps
polling up to the 8-min health timeout.
2. apps.repair (new tool). Re-runs the three post-deploy patches
(env rewrite, traefik port label, coolify-proxy network attach +
force-recreate + proxy restart) against an existing service without
recreating it. Useful when:
- apps.create returned started:false but containers eventually
came up (now the polling fix should make this rare)
- a deploy succeeded mechanically but is serving Traefik 503 or
Mixed Content
- a user rotates a custom domain on an existing app
Params: { uuid, fqdn, publicAppName, port? }
Returns: { reachable, postDeploy: { steps }, probe }
Version bumped to 2.4.6.
Made-with: Cursor
apps.create for service templates now lets Coolify's queue do the
full deploy (compose generation, volumes, internal networking,
healthchecks) and applies three surgical post-deploy fixes that
Coolify's REST API does NOT expose:
1. Rewrites SERVICE_FQDN_* / SERVICE_URL_* in the rendered .env so
frontends that bake their backend URL into the SPA bundle
(Twenty's SERVER_URL, n8n, etc.) point at the real custom domain
instead of the auto-generated sslip.io URL. Without this fix
Twenty's frontend loads on the real HTTPS domain but fires XHRs
at insecure sslip.io, blocking everything as Mixed Content.
2. Injects the missing
traefik.http.services.<svc>.loadbalancer.server.port label.
Coolify generates the routing rules but forgets the port, so
Traefik logs "error: port is missing" and returns 503 forever.
3. Connects coolify-proxy to the project network (Coolify writes a
caddy_ingress_network=<uuid> hint label but never actually runs
docker network connect), then force-recreates ONLY the
public-facing container so the new env+label apply, and
restarts the proxy so Traefik re-discovers.
Polling switches from service.status (which routinely lies as
"starting:unknown" while containers are actually healthy) to the
truthful per-application service.applications[*].status field.
Removes the SSH "docker compose up -d" fallback that v2.4.1-2.4.4
used. That fallback bypassed Coolify's full pipeline, causing
internal services like Postgres/Redis to land on the shared coolify
network where DNS aliases collided with coolify-db/coolify-redis,
producing the "password authentication failed" regression we saw
on Twenty deploys. With v2.4.5 internal services stay on their
isolated project network — only the public app crosses to the
proxy.
Response shape gains: reachable (boolean for HTTPS 2xx/3xx),
appStatus (truthful per-app status from Coolify), postDeploy
(step-by-step diagnostic for each of the three fixes). Existing
started/startDiag fields kept for back-compat.
apps.containers.up / apps.containers.ps remain unchanged for
manual user recovery.

v2.4.3 attached every stack container to the `coolify` network so
Traefik could reach the public container. But that network also hosts
coolify-db (alias `postgres`) and coolify-redis (alias `redis`).
Docker's embedded DNS resolves unqualified hostnames to the first
container with that name on the network, so once Twenty's
`postgres-<uuid>` joined the coolify network, Twenty's connection
string `postgres://postgres:5432/...` started resolving to coolify-db
and auth-failing in a tight restart loop.
Coolify's own pipeline only attaches the proxied container — filter
by the `traefik.enable=true` label so internal stack members (db,
redis, worker) stay isolated on the project network.
Made-with: Cursor
The Twenty (and any service-template) stack was reachable on its private
project network but invisible to coolify-proxy/Traefik because no
container was joined to the `coolify` network. Public URLs like
crm.mark.vibnai.com returned 503 "no available server" even though the
underlying app was healthy.
Coolify's UI deploy attaches the proxy network as a post-step after the
full stack is up. When a sidecar (e.g. Twenty's worker, which waits ~3
min on twenty's healthcheck) fails its depends_on gate, that post-step
can be skipped and the stack is left isolated.
composeUp now calls attachToCoolifyProxyNetwork() after compose
finishes (best-effort, idempotent), and ensureServiceUp does the same
on the Coolify-queue happy path. Single apps.create call should now
result in a publicly reachable app.
Made-with: Cursor
Coolify's `compose up -d` returns non-zero whenever any sidecar container
hits a `depends_on: condition: service_healthy` timeout. For slow-booting
apps like Twenty (where the worker waits ~3 min for twenty's healthcheck),
this caused apps.create to return started=false even when the primary
stack was running fine.
Now ensureServiceUp probes the host with `docker ps` after a non-zero
compose exit and returns started=true whenever any container is running,
surfacing the compose stderr in startDiag so agents can decide whether
to retry apps.containers.up later.
Made-with: Cursor
Coolify's POST /services/{uuid}/start writes the rendered compose
files but its Laravel queue worker routinely fails to actually
invoke `docker compose up -d`. Until now agents had to SSH to
recover. For an MVP that promises "tell vibn what app you want,
get a URL", that's unacceptable.
- lib/coolify-compose.ts: composeUp/composeDown/composePs over SSH
via a one-shot docker:cli container that bind-mounts the rendered
compose dir (works around vibn-logs being in docker group but not
having read access to /data/coolify/services).
- apps.create (template + composeRaw pathways) now uses
ensureServiceUp which probes whether Coolify's queue actually
spawned containers and falls back to direct docker compose up -d
if not. Result includes startMethod for visibility.
- apps.containers.up / apps.containers.ps exposed as MCP tools for
recovery scenarios and post-env-change recreations.
- Tenant safety: resolveAppOrService validates uuid against the
caller's project before touching anything on the host.
Made-with: Cursor
Adds Coolify one-click template support — 320+ vetted apps deployable
in one MCP call (Twenty, n8n, Supabase, Ghost, etc).
- apps.create gains a 4th pathway: { template: "<slug>", ... }. Auto-
rewrites the Coolify-assigned sslip URL to the workspace FQDN and
applies user envs before starting.
- apps.templates.list / apps.templates.search expose the catalog so
agents can discover slugs. Catalog is fetched from upstream GitHub
and cached in-memory for 1h.
- lib/coolify.ts: + setServiceDomains, updateService, listService-
Templates, searchServiceTemplates. Reuses existing createService.
- next.config.ts: externalize ssh2 + cpu-features from turbopack so
`next build` can complete (native .node binaries can't be ESM-bundled).

Coolify's /applications/dockercompose creates a Service (not Application)
with its own API surface. Wire it up correctly:
lib/coolify.ts
- createDockerComposeApp returns { uuid, resourceType: 'service' }
- Add startService, stopService, getService, listAllServices helpers
- Add listServiceEnvs, upsertServiceEnv, bulkUpsertServiceEnvs for
the /services/{uuid}/envs endpoint
app/api/mcp/route.ts
- toolAppsList: includes Services (compose stacks) alongside Applications
- toolAppsDeploy: falls back to /services/{uuid}/start for service UUIDs
- toolAppsCreate composeRaw path: uses upsertServiceEnv + startService
instead of Application deploy; notes that domain routing must be
configured post-startup via SERVER_URL env

Third-party apps (Twenty, Directus, Cal.com, Plane…) should never need
a Gitea repo. This adds two new apps.create pathways:
image: "twentyhq/twenty:1.23.0" → Coolify /applications/dockerimage
composeRaw: "services:\n..." → Coolify /applications/dockercompose
No repo is created, no git clone, no PAT embedding. Agents can fetch
the official docker-compose.yml and pass it inline, or just give an
image name. Pathway 1 (repo) is unchanged.
Also adds volume management tools so agents can self-recover from the
most common compose failure (stale DB volume blocking fresh migrations):
apps.volumes.list { uuid } → list volumes + sizes
apps.volumes.wipe { uuid, volume, confirm } → stop containers,
rm volume, done
Both volume tools go through the same vibn-logs SSH channel. The wipe
tool requires confirm == volume name to prevent accidents and verifies
the volume belongs to the target app (uuid in name).
lib/coolify.ts: createDockerImageApp + createDockerComposeApp helpers,
dockerimage added to CoolifyBuildPack union.
app/api/mcp/route.ts: resolveFqdn + applyEnvsAndDeploy extracted as
shared helpers; toolAppsCreate now dispatches on image/composeRaw/repo.
toolAppsVolumesList + toolAppsVolumesWipe added.
sq() moved to module scope (shared by exec + volumes tools).
Version bumped to 2.3.0.

Companion to apps.logs. SSH to the Coolify host as vibn-logs, resolve
the target container by app uuid + service, and run the caller's
command through `docker exec ... sh -lc`. No TTY, no stdin — this is
the write-path sibling of apps.logs, purpose-built for migrations,
seeds, CLI invocations, and ad-hoc debugging.
- lib/coolify-containers.ts extracts container enumeration + service
resolution into a shared helper used by both logs and exec.
- lib/coolify-exec.ts wraps docker exec with timeout (60s default,
10-min cap), output byte cap (1 MB default, 5 MB cap), optional
--user / --workdir, and structured audit logging of the command +
target (never the output).
- app/api/mcp/route.ts wires `apps.exec` into the dispatcher and
advertises it in the capabilities manifest.
- app/api/workspaces/[slug]/apps/[uuid]/exec/route.ts exposes the same
tool over REST for session-cookie callers.
Tenant safety: every entrypoint runs getApplicationInProject before
touching SSH, so an agent can only exec in apps belonging to their
workspace.
