Move Qt/Tauri/full Web SPA under archive/, ship hermit as CLI/TUI plus
libcstcore and cst-webui/1 HTTP+SSE (turn lifecycle hooks, capabilities).

The front end is rebuilt on the design tokens the desktop app ships (surfaces,
color-mix borders, alpha hovers, accent): a 30-icon inline SVG sprite, dark and
light themes, layout switches as deep links (?side=0, ?panel=0, ?theme=light)
resolved before the first paint. The empty page is one line and leaves with the
first turn; the right rail keeps three cards - todo, file changes (+N -M) and
context (tokens, prompt cache hit rate). Both rails animate in and out, and a
collapsed rail widens its grid track to 0 instead of being removed, so the
transcript never slides into a zero-width column.
- src/webui.c: POST /api/workspace - re-root the agent at another directory
(permission rules, metrics, AGENTS.md follow) and start a session there, as
sessions live per directory; state also reports cached/cache_miss tokens
- src/agent_loop.c: cst_agent_set_workspace(), rebuilt prompt and re-measured
budget; the auto-compact threshold is 75% of the window (was 60%)
- src/tui.c: /web forks a WebUI next to the TUI - separate process and a new
session, because cst_webui_run() blocks and two writers corrupt one session
- src/os_compat.c, src/os_win.c: run_shell runs without a time limit unless
CST_SHELL_TIMEOUT asks for one, so builds and long clones finish
- src/main.c, include/cst_webui.h: one CST_WEBUI_DEFAULT_PORT for --help, the
docs and /web; Termux opens the browser through termux-open-url
- README.md, docs/webui.md, docs/env_openai.md: /web, /api/workspace, the new
state fields, the 75% threshold and the layout deep links
tests/e2e_webui.sh green (permission round-trip, token paths, --web-dev);
make check green.
A second implementation of cst_agent_hooks_t next to the TUI: the turn runs on
a worker thread, the hooks publish events into a ring buffer that SSE clients
read, so the engine itself needs no changes.
- src/net.c, include/cst_net.h: POSIX/Winsock sockets, non-blocking connect
- src/http_srv.c, include/cst_http.h: HTTP/1.1, keep-alive, chunked streaming,
body caps (413), Expect: 100-continue, connection cap, exact routing
- src/web_md.c, include/cst_web_md.h: streaming markdown -> sanitized HTML
(tag/attribute allowlist, javascript: URLs and off-site images dropped)
- src/webui.c, include/cst_webui.h: event ring + SSE broadcast, all routes,
token (Bearer/Cookie/query) and loopback Host checks, 3 s auto-deny when no
client is attached
- src/webui_stub.c, CST_WEBUI=0 / CST_BUILD_WEBUI=OFF: build without the WebUI
- web/: no-build front end (transcript, approvals, todo, sessions, image
upload, status bar)
- docs/webui.md: engine API v1 - events, requests, security model
- tests/test_webui.c, scripts/e2e_webui.sh: unit tests plus an end-to-end run
driven by a recorded SSE stream (no API key needed)
- src/main.c: --web --web-port --web-host --web-token --web-dev --web-open
and CST_WEB_PORT/HOST/TOKEN/ROOT
An empty POST body is now accepted without Content-Length (RFC 9112 6.3) so
curl-driven clients can reach cancel/undo/compact/quit; CMakeList's core tests
learned about sashidown and test_webui, and CST_WEBUI=0 defines CST_NO_WEBUI.
