lightjj

Browser-based UI for Jujutsu (jj) version control. See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for system design, docs/FILES.md for the detailed per-file guide, BACKLOG.md for planned features.

Build & Test

go test ./...                                        # Go tests
go vet ./...                                         # static analysis
cd frontend && pnpm install && pnpm run build        # build frontend
cd frontend && pnpm check                            # svelte-check type-check (not run by vite build or vitest — run it before shipping)
cd frontend && pnpm run bench                        # diff perf benchmarks (see docs/design-notes/diff-perf-benchmarks.md)
go build -tags embed ./cmd/lightjj                   # build binary (needs frontend build first; no tag = stub)

# Dev mode: two terminals
# 1: go run ./cmd/lightjj --addr localhost:3000 --no-browser
# 2: cd frontend && pnpm run dev
# Vite proxies /api/* to localhost:3000

Project Structure

One line per file; routine *_test.go / *.test.ts files are omitted (they sit alongside their subjects), shared test infrastructure is listed. Detailed per-file notes and invariants live in docs/FILES.md — read a file's entry there before modifying the file or adding a new caller of its exports; update the entry (plus the one-liner here) when adding, removing, or renaming a file or when its contract changes.

cmd/lightjj/main.go       — CLI entry point, flag parsing, embeds frontend-dist/
cmd/lightjj/frontend_embed.go — go:embed frontend-dist/ handler (-tags embed)
cmd/lightjj/frontend_stub.go — No-embed fallback: static "frontend not bundled" help page
cmd/lightjj/session_file.go — Agent port-discovery session files ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/lightjj/sessions/<pid>.json)
cmd/lightjj/session_file_unix.go — verifyOwner uid check on the session dir (unix)
cmd/lightjj/session_file_other.go — verifyOwner no-op stub (non-unix)
cmd/lightjj/api_cmd.go    — lightjj api / lightjj sessions subcommands: loopback HTTP client for agent harnesses
cmd/lightjj/skill_cmd.go  — lightjj skill [install]: prints/installs embedded SKILL.md agent guide
cmd/lightjj/apply_hunks.go — --apply-hunks re-entry for `jj split --tool lightjj-hunks` (writes hunk spec into $right)
