# Architecture (backend)

Single Bun process: `Bun.serve` handles the JSON/SSE API **and** the static
frontend (same origin, no CORS). Persistence is SQLite via Bun's native
`bun:sqlite` driver (`$DATA_DIR/kisassistant.db`, WAL mode).

```
browser ──► Bun.serve (src/index.ts)
              ├─ /api/* ──► auth gate ──► routes ──► db.ts ──► kisassistant.db
              │                              └─────► DriverRegistry ──► ollama / APIs
              └─ /* ──► static files + SPA fallback (index.html, covers /share/:id)
```

## Request flow: chat

`POST /api/chat { model: "driver:model", messages, conversationId?, stream? }`

1. Bearer token → `verifyToken` (sha256 lookup in `sessions`, expiry check).
2. `DriverRegistry.splitId` routes to the owning driver (unknown/disabled → 400).
3. If `conversationId` is set: conversation must belong to the caller, the new
   user message is stored (deduped against the last stored message), new chats
   are auto-titled from it.
4. Non-streaming → `driver.chat()` → JSON. Streaming → `driver.chatStream()`
   → SSE events `token` / `done` / `error`. The full reply is persisted after a
  successful stream; on error the partial text is kept as-is (no internal
  markers). Server logs each stream open/done/abort per driver when
  `DRIVER_DEBUG=true`. `POST /api/chat` with an archived `conversationId`
  is rejected (403) — archived chats are read-only.

Streaming guarantees (ChatGPT-style, no buffering):

- Tokens are forwarded via `controller.enqueue` the moment they arrive from the
  LLM; disconnects are detected (`req.signal`, guarded `enqueue`,
  stream `cancel()`) and propagated upstream via an `AbortController` passed as
  `opts.signal`, so the model stops generating when the tab closes.
- `Bun.serve` runs with `idleTimeout: 0` — the default 10 s would kill slow
  streams (cold model load, thinking pauses) mid-generation.
- Responses carry `X-Accel-Buffering: no` and the NixOS nginx vhost sets
  `proxy_buffering off`, otherwise the proxy would buffer the whole reply.

## Database schema

Created idempotently at boot in `getDb()` (no migration framework; keep it so).

| Table | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `users` | `id, username UNIQUE, display_name, avatar_url, theme, email, key_hash, created_at`. The `admin` row is bootstrapped (its `key_hash` is unused — admin auth goes through `APP_PASSWORD`). |
| `sessions` | `token_hash PK, user_id, created_at, expires_at`. Bearer tokens, 256-bit, hashed with sha256. Expired rows are purged lazily on access. |
| `resets` | `token_hash PK, user_id, created_at, expires_at`. One-time key-recovery tokens (single use, consumed on POST). |
| `settings` | `key PK, value, updated_at`. Admin-controlled feature flags (`registration_enabled` default off, `tools_ocr_enabled` default on). |
| `conversations` | `id, user_id, title, topic, model, archived_at, created_at, updated_at`. `archived_at = 0` means live; otherwise a unix-ms archive timestamp (added idempotently via `ALTER TABLE`, like `users.email`). |
| `messages` | `id AUTOINCREMENT, conv_id → conversations ON DELETE CASCADE, role, content, created_at`. |
| `shares` | `conv_id PK → conversations ON DELETE CASCADE, public_id UNIQUE, created_at`. |

User deletion cascades manually in `deleteUser()` (messages → shares →
conversations → sessions → user) inside a transaction.

## Auth

- `POST /api/auth/login { username, key }`, sliding-window rate limit per IP
  (`RATE_LIMIT_MAX` / `RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MIN`, default 5 per 10 min) + 400 ms
  delay on failure. Success clears the IP counter and issues a fresh token.
- `POST /api/auth/register { username, displayName?, email? }` — public
  self-registration, guarded by the `registration_enabled` setting (403 when
  off), same rate limit and validation as admin creation. Returns `{user, key}`
  with the key shown once.
- `admin` is authenticated against `APP_PASSWORD` (timing-safe); users against
  their `ka_…` access key (timing-safe against the stored hash).
- Keys are generated with `crypto.randomBytes` (`ka_` + 24 bytes base64url) and
  **returned once** at creation/regeneration. Regeneration also wipes the
  account's sessions.

## Local file CDN

`src/cdn.ts` + routes in `index.ts`. Generic namespaced layout
(`PUT /cdn/<ns>/<key>` authed, `GET /cdn/<ns>/<key>.<ext>` public) so future
file kinds plug into `CDN_NAMESPACES` without new routes. Today only `avatar`
exists: key = account id (`/cdn/avatar/<id>.png`), ownership enforced.

- Type safety by **magic bytes** (JPEG `FF D8 FF`, PNG signature, `RIFF…WEBP`);
  only `jpg`/`png`/`webp` are representable, the stored extension is always
  detected, everything else is `415`. Route regex charsets make traversal
  unmatchable (attempts fall through to the SPA fallback).
- Per-namespace limits: `avatar` = 5 MB max (`413`), 5 uploads / 2 h /
  account (`429` + `Retry-After`), counted on success. Re-upload replaces all
  stored variants for the key.
- Served with detected `Content-Type`, `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`,
  `Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600`.

## Platform tools

`src/tools/`: `PlatformTool` interface + registry (today: `ocr` via the
tesseract binary, availability probed at boot). `POST /api/tools/ocr` takes
raw image bytes (5 MB, magic-verified, 20 jobs/hour/account) and returns
`{ text, truncated, chars }` — transcription happens server-side with
per-driver-style stdout logging; a missing binary yields a clean 501. Text
attachments use the `text` CDN namespace (500 KB, UTF-8 validated). The model
only ever sees reviewed text blocks, never raw files.

## Drivers`src/drivers/`: `LLMDriver` interface (`listModels`, `chat`, `chatStream`),
`DriverRegistry` with global priority
`ollama → mistral → glm → puppeteer-openai (POC) → deepseek → anthropic → openai`.
Models are addressed as `"driver:model"` (split on the first `:`).

- `OllamaDriver`: model discovery via `GET {OLLAMA_HOST}/api/tags`, chat via
  `POST /api/chat` with NDJSON streaming.
- `GET /api/models` is served from an in-memory cache in `DriverRegistry`
  (`MODEL_CACHE_TTL_MS` = 60 s) so logins don't hit Ollama every time.
  Concurrent misses share one in-flight upstream fetch. Admins pass
  `?refresh=1` to force a fresh fetch (used by the "Ollama models" view);
  the flag is ignored for non-admins. Admin pull/delete invalidate the cache.
- `ApiDriverBase`: shared OpenAI-compatible `/models` + `/chat/completions`
  (SSE) implementation; concrete drivers only set base URL, key, and fallback
  model list. A driver is enabled only when its `*_ENABLED` flag is set **and**
  its key is non-empty; failing drivers are skipped (not fatal) in listings.
- `PuppeteerOpenAIDriver` (+ `browser.ts` `ChatGPTBrowserEngine`): ChatGPT via
  the web UI — puppeteer-core driving Firefox (WebDriver BiDi) with a
  **throwaway profile** (mkdtemp under /tmp, deleted on close). Anonymous
  session works without login; if the composer is missing the engine waits up
  to `PUPPETEER_LOGIN_TIMEOUT_S` for a manual login in the window. Flow:
  accept the cookie banner, focus the composer (`#mobile-composer-prompt`,
  multi-line via Shift+Enter), submit with `[data-composer-submit]`, stream
  by polling `[data-assistant-stream-block]` text, and treat a newly
  **visible** `[data-copy-message]` button as end-of-response (toolbars exist
  hidden in the DOM during streaming — visibility is the real signal).
  Navigation uses domcontentloaded + retries (chatgpt.com stalls sometimes).
  POC — ToS-risky, off unless `PUPPETEER_ENABLED=true`. Smoke test:
  `bun scripts/poc-chatgpt.ts` (headed, `--probe` for a state report).
