# Frontend
React 18 + Vite + Tailwind 3 + lucide-react + react-markdown/remark-gfm, Inter
Variable self-hosted (`@fontsource-variable/inter` — no external requests).
Built with `bun run build:frontend` into `public/` (Vite `emptyOutDir`; that
directory is a build artifact, never hand-edit, not committed).
## Routing
No router library — `App.tsx` matches `window.location.pathname` once (module
level, constant for the page lifetime): `/share/:publicId` renders the public
read-only `SharePage` (no auth), everything else renders the authenticated app.
## State & data flow
- `App.tsx` owns: `user`, `models`/`model`, `convs`, `activeId`, `messages`,
`streaming`, modal states. All server state is re-fetched (no client cache
library); conversations themselves live server-side in SQLite.
- `lib/api.ts` — typed `fetch` wrapper: Bearer header from `localStorage`,
`{ error }` parsing, `ApiError` with status, auto logout+reload on 401
(except on `/share/*`). `chatStream()` parses SSE `token`/`done`/`error`.
- Sending: ensure a server conversation exists (created lazily on first send),
optimistic user message, stream tokens into `streaming`, then append the full
assistant message and refresh the list (server auto-titles new chats).
## Components (`components/`)
- `ui.tsx` — design system. `Button` (primary/secondary/ghost/danger),
`IconButton`, `Input`, `Field`, `Modal`, `ConfirmDialog`, `ContextMenu`,
`Avatar` (remote URL or gradient initials), `CopyButton`, `Spinner` and
**`Picker`** — the framework-styled dropdown (pill button + popover, optional
option groups, lucide `ChevronDown`/`Check`, Escape/outside-click to close).
**Never use a native `<select>`**; use `Picker` for model and theme choices.
- `Login.tsx` — username + access-key card.
- `Sidebar.tsx` — collapsible conversation list with per-item context menu
(right-click or `···`: Rename / Set topic / Share publicly / Delete), user
chip (opens settings), Accounts button (admin), logout.
- `Chat.tsx` — header (title, topic badge, driver-grouped model `Picker`,
share button), message list (`Markdown` for assistant, emerald bubble for
user), rounded composer (Enter to send, Shift+Enter for newline).
- `dialogs.tsx` — `ConvEditDialog` (title + topic), `ShareModal` (public link,
copy, unshare), `SettingsModal` (display name, avatar upload box with
drag & drop, avatar URL, theme).
- `AdminPanel.tsx` — No-KYC account management: create (key shown once),
regenerate (revokes sessions), edit, delete with confirm.
- `SharePage.tsx` — public read-only view, fetches `/api/share/:id` unauthenticated.
- `Markdown.tsx` — `react-markdown` + GFM; code blocks get a language label and
a copy button.
## Theming
Tailwind `darkMode: "class"`. `applyTheme()` in `App.tsx` toggles the `dark`
class from the account theme (`auto` follows `prefers-color-scheme` with a
live media-query listener). Accent: emerald; shapes: `rounded-2xl/3xl`
everywhere; every surface needs a `dark:` variant. UI text is English only.
## Mobile
Below the `md` breakpoint the sidebar becomes a slide-in drawer (backdrop tap
or swipe-left closes it, hamburger in the chat header opens it). Modals render
as bottom sheets with a drag handle — pull down past the threshold to dismiss
(tap backdrop or Escape works too). Composer respects
`env(safe-area-inset-bottom)`. No separate mobile codebase: same components,
responsive Tailwind classes + minimal touch handlers.
