Nicolas Cantu 58cc2493e5 chore: consolidate ia_dev module, sync tooling, and harden gateways (0.0.5) 
Initial state:
- ia_dev was historically referenced as ./ia_dev in docs and integrations, while the vendored module lives under services/ia_dev.
- AnythingLLM sync and hook installation had error masking / weak exit signaling.
- Proxy layers did not validate proxy path segments, allowing path normalization tricks.

Motivation:
- Make the IDE-oriented workflow usable (sync -> act -> deploy/preview) with explicit errors.
- Reduce security footguns in proxying and script automation.

Resolution:
- Standardize IA_DEV_ROOT usage and documentation to services/ia_dev.
- Add SSH remote data mirroring + optional AnythingLLM ingestion.
- Extend AnythingLLM pull sync to support upload-all/prefix and fail on upload errors.
- Harden smart-ide-sso-gateway and smart-ide-global-api proxying with safe-path checks and non-leaking error responses.
- Improve ia-dev-gateway runner validation and reduce sensitive path leakage.
- Add site scaffold tool (Vite/React) with OIDC + chat via sso-gateway -> orchestrator.

Root cause:
- Historical layout changes (submodule -> vendored tree) and missing central contracts for path resolution.
- Missing validation for proxy path traversal patterns.
- Overuse of silent fallbacks (|| true, exit 0 on partial failures) in automation scripts.

Impacted features:
- Project sync: git pull + AnythingLLM sync + remote data mirror ingestion.
- Site frontends: SSO gateway proxy and orchestrator intents (rag.query, chat.local).
- Agent execution: ia-dev-gateway script runner and SSE output.

Raw Blame History

E2E browser mode (current + next)

Current mode (manual / assisted)

Short-term E2E is manual and uses a terminal browser for fast feedback:

  • Carbonyl for previewing the test URL without a GUI browser:
    • script: scripts/open-carbonyl-preview-test.sh
    • per project config: projects/<id>/conf.json → smart_ide.preview_urls.test

Typical workflow:

  1. Deploy to test (project workflow / ia_dev).
  2. Open the test URL in Carbonyl:
./scripts/open-carbonyl-preview-test.sh --project <id>
  1. Validate critical flows manually (login, navigation, chat proxy calls).

Optional next step (automation)

If manual Carbonyl + system browser is not sufficient, introduce a dedicated service browser-automation-api only when at least one criterion is met (see browser-automation-criteria.md):

  • agent-driven reproducible E2E with timeouts + domain allowlist
  • controlled scraping (pre-approved URLs)
  • headless visual regression on infra without GUI
  • rendering capture (PDF/images) for internal pages

Constraints for the future service:

  • isolated process (services/browser-automation-api/)
  • queue + concurrency limits + strict timeouts
  • network allowlist (no arbitrary browsing)
  • Bearer auth (service-to-service) + URL logging
