Dashboard

The dashboard is a real-time web UI for monitoring everything happening in Marina — who’s online, where they are, what they’re doing, and how the system is performing.

---

Workspaces and layout

The default Operate preset fits three panes to the available viewport: Chat (30%), Workspace (45%), and Context (25%). Chat stays available while you work. The workspace has Work, Canvas, Map, Observe, Streams, and Admin tabs. Selecting an agent, room, task, or node opens the shared inspector in Context. On narrow screens, Chat / Workspace / Context buttons switch between the same mounted panes.

Preset	Starting workspace	Purpose
Operate	Work	Active tasks, projects, and coding sessions
Explore	Map	Rooms, presence, and local activity
Create	Canvas	Build, connect, and discuss nodes
Observe	Observe	Narrative playback and conversation statistics

Use the header selector to switch presets. More contains layout save, rename, delete, reset, theme, live Pulse, traces, and shortcut help. Built-in presets receive versioned updates; saved custom arrangements remain intact. An older auto-saved arrangement is retained as Previous grid. Drag or resize panes on desktop, then save a named arrangement. A panel’s maximize button enlarges it; Esc restores its size.

The compact recent-activity strip shows the newest curated entries. More → Pulse is the live event stream; map heat shows local activity, while Observe holds narrative and conversation history.

Start work and review the result

Work → Start something brings the first request into the workspace. Choose Marina for the current coding session, Crew for Marina’s existing collaborative coding flow, or Native agent to launch an installed coding tool through one of your connected supervisors. Selecting an optional project includes its name and description in the request; it does not assign project membership. Nothing executes until you click Start work.

Native launches offer the supervisor’s registered runtimes, a project directory, optional model, and a choice of an isolated Git worktree or a shared folder. The supervisor must be connected; start one with marina supervise --root /path/to/project. Worktrees start from committed HEAD. Remember harness saves these launch preferences in this browser for this resident and instance. Marina and Crew continue to use the configured coding workspace and models.

After a native launch, Streams opens the supervisor’s delivery and activity view. If the HTTP response is lost, Retry same request reuses its original identifier and payload. A queued instruction is not a completed launch or task.

Select a task to open Evidence & review in Context. Linked coding attempts show their worker, workspace, recorded verification, artifacts, diffs and provenance. Task owners can Approve submission or Request changes on submitted attempts through the existing Code Mode commands. These actions resume the attempt’s coding session; server permissions and task ownership still apply. Chat reports refusals, and task status remains authoritative. Recorded checks can become stale after later edits. Native output without a linked coding attempt is not shown as verified.

Find related memory prefills a durable-memory search with the task title; click Load to search the selected memory space. Shape the idea opens Canvas, whose Back to work action restores the prior task selection.

Participant streams

Open Workspace → Streams after signing in through Chat to follow output from native coding agents and other connected clients. Select a participant from the paginated list; the filter searches the current page. Registration alone does not establish that its process is running.

Activity cards show output, tool activity, runtime changes, and requests. Consecutive text deltas from the built-in Claude, Codex, and pi adapters appear together. Inspect source event expands the original payload and its identifiers, sequence, and timestamp. Unknown event types retain their original payloads. Search loaded activity searches both the readable cards and source data. Message snapshots can repeat earlier streamed text; they are separately recorded evidence.

Pause following lets you read older activity while new output continues to load; scrolling away from the bottom also pauses following. Follow latest returns to new activity. Replay retained history loads from the start of the retained stream. The view keeps at most 500 events and labels expired history. A native turn ending or an instruction being accepted does not establish that a Marina task was submitted or approved.

Participants advertising runtime controls expose their supported launch, prompt, interrupt, and approval actions. Inspect deliveries and conversations shows transport receipts and related channels without acknowledging messages. Switching workspace tabs preserves the selected participant, its loaded activity, and unsent control drafts while pausing hidden-view requests. Signing out removes the private workspace.

When running the Marina coding CLI, /dashboard opens the same participant workspace at /terminal using HTTP, so the terminal’s Chat connection stays active.

Open the Dashboard

http://localhost:3300/dashboard

It connects via WebSocket and combines live events with bounded API refreshes. Local loopback use is low-friction by default; for a public deployment, turn on sign-in with MARINA_AUTH=better-auth (see authentication.md). The Admin → Security tab shows the live state of auth, key encryption, and the MARINA_OPEN_API flag.

What You’ll See

Search and command composition

Click Commands or Search Marina in the header, or press Cmd/Ctrl+K. Commands match names, aliases, and descriptions, including abbreviated spellings. World search starts after two characters and includes entities, rooms, tasks, accessible legacy notes, board names, and channel names. Task and note content use the existing full-text indexes. Results are bounded; private notes and inventories keep their existing access rules, and process notes and durable service records are excluded from this legacy-note search. Use the Memory workspace for durable records.

Select a command to read its current syntax and access requirements, filter by category, and fill its arguments. Every registered command has a guided builder: choose an action, fill its required fields, and enable optional arguments. Documented alternatives use selectors; number and JSON fields validate before filling the command. Forms follow the server’s supported syntax, including crew invite, experiment record, and the standalone reflect command. Insert into chat keeps the command editable for review; Send command executes it through your existing chat session. Selection alone never executes a command. Exit Code Mode before sending world commands. Claim on a task, Reply on a board post, and Join on a channel draft the corresponding command with the identifier already filled. Reply leaves room for your message; review and send from chat. Chat preserves multiline coding commands and patches. Shift+Enter adds a line; Enter or the send button submits the command.

Use Pin command in the composer or an overlay, or Pin next to the chat input, to save an exact command. Favorites appear above chat and persist in this browser per world and resident. Clicking a favorite drafts it; it does not execute it. Remove a favorite with its adjacent remove button.

Your macros appear in the same row, marked with a play icon: named commands (or ;-separated sequences) kept on the server, so they follow you across devices and are the same macros agents create with macro create. Shared system macros show “(shared)” in their tooltip. Clicking one drafts its name; press Enter to run it. A favorite’s bookmark button drafts macro create <name> <command> so you can promote it to a macro after editing the name.

Use More → Keyboard shortcuts or ? for help. Outside text inputs, 1–3 focus Chat, Workspace, and Context; ` cycles panels. Saved classic grids retain 1–8 focus shortcuts. Esc restores a maximized pane or exits Canvas full screen. Dialogs support Escape and keep keyboard focus inside until closed.

Progress and operator feedback

The getting-started guide shows available quests, actual step completion, the next hint, and start/complete actions. It refreshes progress while open; sending an orientation command is displayed separately from completing a quest.

Hover or keyboard-focus an entity in the roster or on the map for rank and standing (Marina’s contribution score). Inventory, current task, and crew appear for the entity itself and authorized operators. My inventory stays visible in Context for the connected resident, independently of the selected entity; Inspect drafts a look command for an item. Work badges count your active task claims; Memory badges count open contradiction cases. The critical alert dot counts unacknowledged, unsnoozed alerts.

The activity strip shows the five newest curated feed entries and opens Pulse. A persistent connection banner explains when live updates are reconnecting. Failed API reads offer a retry banner; writes are never automatically replayed by that control. Admin loading states use skeleton rows. Patch artifacts offer side-by-side and unified views, and existing approval cards retain their approve/deny buttons. Edit in canvas opens the existing editor at the embedded node, where nodes, relationships, properties, and intents can be edited.

World Topology + 30s Activity

A visual graph of all rooms as nodes and exits as edges. Click any room to see its details — description, occupants, exits, and items. The heat layer counts observed room events in the latest 30-second live window; it is not a historical communication graph or a claim about hidden provider activity.

Global Work, Attention, and Pulse

Work and Attention stay in the header; Pulse is available under More:

• Work projects active tasks, projects, and coding sessions from their existing canonical stores in the Work tab. Every item opens its canonical detail surface.
• Attention shows durable attributed alerts, actions, deadlines, snooze, acknowledgement, and resolution failures, plus participant questions, permission requests, runtime failures, and the latest failed instruction delivery. Participant totals cover all accessible sessions, with paginated results and current group membership checks. Open a request to inspect and answer it in Streams; opening the inbox never acknowledges messages or grants permission. Shared participants are labeled view only. Critical counts use an assertive screen-reader announcement. Desktop notifications are opt-in and requested only after a click.
• Pulse shows the newest live WebSocket events, currently thinking agents, and observed failures. Rows link to exact traces, tasks, Canvas nodes, or entity profiles when those references exist. It labels the window as live rather than implying retained totals.

The map includes independent Heat, Alerts, and Presence layers. Heat shows recent room activity, Presence shows entity orbits, and Alerts places warning or critical badges in affected rooms. Agent alerts follow the agent’s current room; world-level readiness, memory, and project alerts anchor at the starting hub. Hover an alert marker for its titles or click it to inspect that room. Flip the panel to open the full event heatmap.

Agent Launch Panel

Spawn and manage AI agents directly from the dashboard:

• Name — agent’s identity in the world
• Model — dropdown of common models across all 9 providers (google, anthropic, openai, openrouter, groq, mistral, xai, cerebras, deepseek), plus a “Custom…” option for any provider/model string
• Role — assign a composable role (populated from the world’s role definitions)
• API Key — select a stored key or use environment variable defaults
• Goal — optional goal text for the agent

Running agents appear below the form with state, uptime, tool call count, and an attention input for sending messages to the agent.

Conversation Intelligence

Available in Observe. Highlights chat tempo, leading speakers, and the balance between human and agent messages. Open questions from other participants surface here so you can follow up without scrubbing the transcript.

Narrative Playback

Available in Observe. A looping timeline that replays feed events. Scrub, pause, or auto-play to debrief incidents, narrate demos, or review crew activity without diving into raw logs.

Admin Panel

The Admin panel has these tabs:

• Keys — manage LLM API keys. Click “+ Add” to store a key by selecting a provider from the dropdown and pasting the key value. Keys are shown masked. DB-stored keys are encrypted at rest — with MARINA_KEY_SECRET, or else the secret Marina keeps in <DB_PATH>.key-secret; keys stored before that file existed stay plaintext until re-saved (Admin → Security shows the state). For sensitive deployments, prefer the environment-variable fallback (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY, OPENROUTER_API_KEY, CEREBRAS_API_KEY, XAI_API_KEY, MISTRAL_API_KEY, DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, LLAMA_API_KEY) — env keys are read live and never written to the database.
• Endpoint — configure the runtime default model and model endpoint.
• Adapters — view platform adapter status (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
• Roles — browse defined roles and their traits
• MCP — inspect MCP connectivity and configuration.
• Config — inspect and edit supported runtime environment settings.
• Traces — inspect recent model-request, agent-turn, and tool-call spans with factual execution checks and evidence IDs. Filter server-side by status, time, model, agent, tool, or structural text; page with stable cursors; download native, evaluation-dataset, or OTLP JSON. Collector delivery health is visible without exposing collector headers. See Execution Traces and Evaluations for retention, privacy, API, and interpretation boundaries.
• Logs — query bounded structured logs and follow their trace/span correlation into the trace explorer. OTLP log delivery state is visible separately from local persistence.
• Identity — inspect immutable local principal IDs, human/agent type, home world, lineage, lifecycle state, and suspend/disable actions. The panel states the local credential boundary.
• Collective — create and start isolated child Marinas from a source checkout, open each child dashboard, retain A/B hypotheses, and record evidence-backed promotion decisions. The same tab registers federation manifests as unverified before any explicit trust decision.
• Health — inspect graphical readiness, outcome trends and leaderboard, latency and effort metrics, live multi-agent primitive evidence, communication, world actions, primitive diversity, memory health, alert history and filters, and open contradictions. Tool calls are provenance and never count as meaningful actions by themselves. Alerts can be acknowledged or resolved; contradictions can be adjudicated with rationale in place. (This tab was called Ops before the runtime Ops tab below existed; marina:open-admin with tab: "readiness" or "operations" still lands here.)
• Ops — the runtime as an operator sees it: every agent’s operator accounting, spend against the caps, row retention, the prompt budget, the last provider probe and the security posture. See Admin → Ops tab.
• Security — live posture overview: dashboard auth (MARINA_AUTH), API-key encryption at rest, the MARINA_OPEN_API dev flag, and key/agent counts. It reads the real server state — if auth is off it points you to authentication.md.

Admin → Memory tab

Operators get a live view of the memory system from Admin → Memory (also the Memory admin tab of the unified canvas command bar): posture (trust profile, autonomy, response-cache hit rate, 24 h dispatch counts), the assistance Jobs table (state, role, marker, worker → requester, remaining operations, deadline countdown; expand a row for the task and cited answer when you are allowed to see them; Cancel open jobs), recent resolutions and institutional ratifications, assistance standing credits, passthru memory receipts (tier bars by bytes, one click to the trace), the parsed hygiene line per entity, and institutional spaces. Empty states print the exact memory assist … / agent spawn … role memory-evaluator commands. The Continuous hygiene section publishes the ratios the memory design requires beside any headline number — redundancy, contradiction and unresolved-contradiction rate, provenance coverage, staleness, unsafe-served rate, reflection repetition, consolidation ROI, repair success — each with its numerator and denominator (“n/a” when nothing was measured), plus leakage counters, cost (injected bytes and cache hit rate) and every owner’s storage against the admission budget. In the Traces tab, a span that carries a memory receipt shows a Memory block with the injected tiers, bytes used against the budget, truncation and cache-hit flags.

On the unified canvas (?unified), the MEMORY layer (key 5) maps the same objects onto the note graph: durable twin records beside their notes, jobs as state-colored rings around the requester’s notes, proposals that turn solid when adopted, resolutions as policy diamonds between winner and losers, institutional spaces as peripheral hulls, and helper agents orbiting the space they serve. Select any of them for details in the inspector; its action link opens Admin → Memory on that job.

Admin → Ops tab

Admin → Ops (dashboard/src/components/ops/) is the operator’s runtime view, fed by GET /api/ops/overview every 10 s and on agent_spawn / agent_stop / agent_error / agent_state_change events (streaming deltas never trigger a refetch). Seven sections:

• Agents — one row per running agent: name (health, who spawned it, uptime), role and model, inferred tool profile (full / crew / minimal), tokens in / out, cost lifetime / rolling hour (colored against the per-agent cap), consecutive errors, last error with its age, the active pause (budget spent, spend cap, upstream errors) with “resumes in …” or the condition that lifts it, and the next autonomous tick. Operators get a stop action per row; the confirmation names every agent the stop will cascade to (the spawn lineage, children first) and the result line lists what was stopped. Residents see only their own agents and no stop buttons.
• Spend — rolling-hour and lifetime USD across the visible agents, the global and per-agent caps (MARINA_MAX_COST_USD_PER_HOUR, MARINA_MAX_AGENT_COST_USD_PER_HOUR, “unlimited” when unset; the per-world daily cap MARINA_DAILY_SPEND_CAP_USD, default $50, is reported by readiness as “Daily spend”), a runtime-vs-cap bar, and the top spenders with a bar each (against the per-agent cap when there is one). The empty state names the two env vars.
• Retention — when the last hourly pass ran, how long it took, rows deleted per table and the tables skipped (missing in this database); the full policy table (table, kind — telemetry / ledger / audit / append-only — keep window, whether MARINA_RETENTION_OVERRIDES changed it, note); and the “never pruned” list (append-only tables plus anything the last pass left untouched).
• Prompt budget — system prompt bytes against LEAN_SYSTEM_PROMPT_BYTE_CAP (bar turns amber past 90 %, red past 100 %), the continuation-prompt budget, whether deferred tools are on (MARINA_DEFERRED_TOOLS), how many tools are loadable on demand and their bytes, and resident tool-schema bytes per profile. Sizes are measured server-side once a minute. Below them, Continuation sections · last 24 h: one compact bar per continuation-prompt section (its share of the window’s prompt bytes, scaled to the largest section) with mean and p95 bytes and the deferral rate as a chip (quiet at 0 %, amber once the section has been re-queued past the budget, red at ≥ 50 %), plus how many agent turns were sampled. Aggregated server-side from the agent_turn_start events in the event log — bytes only, never prompt text — and scoped like the agent rows. The Traces tab shows the same data per turn under each agent turn span.
• Providers — the last readiness providers probe: provider and model, a one-word verdict (ok, fallback when another provider answered, tools when text passed but the tool call did not, text, error), the three checks (text, second system message, tool call — toolCallOk), who served it, latency and the failure detail. Operators only; the empty state names the command.
• Decisions — the backend and its calibration, gate / verifier switches, counts and the newest route / gate / verify verdicts with their top signals, and a banner when the backend is failing. Operators also get Settings: every runtime decision setting (backend, model, gate, verifier, engines, method, ensemble, the harness engine, calibration and gate-question files) with its value and source — default, runtime or env · locked (a variable set in the environment wins and cannot be edited here) — a Save / Reset per row, the server’s reason when a change is refused, and the recent changes. It is shown even while decisions are off, so this is where an operator turns them on. Base URLs and API keys are never editable here. Same settings as admin decisions.
• Security posture — trust profile (with ungated), autonomy posture, loopback vs public bind, sign-in requirement, MCP transport auth, the MARINA_OPEN_API dev flag, MARINA_TRUST_PROXY, whether the in-world command limiter is bypassed (local profile), and every named HTTP limiter with its budget and key (per principal / per IP).

Section headers deliberately do not use the GlassPanel title prop (that header is the grid drag handle). Load failures render the shared FetchErrorNotice with a retry.

The header carries two related widgets. The health badge shows ok / degraded / off capability counts from /api/readiness (amber when anything is degraded, red when nothing is ok); hovering or focusing it lists every non-ok capability with its remediation, and clicking it opens Admin → Health (the marina:open-admin event with tab: "readiness"). The spend chip shows rolling-hour USD and turns red when the runtime is at ≥ 80 % of the global cap or any agent is at ≥ 80 % of the per-agent cap; it is hidden until there is spend or a cap, and clicking it opens Admin → Ops. The Entity Roster and the Agent Launch Panel show the same rolling-hour cost and a paused · <kind> badge beside each agent row, from the same rows.

Ops API

The runtime surface is served by src/net/ops-api.ts under /api/ops/*, registered from handleDashboardApi; the JSON contract lives in src/net/ops-types.ts, which dashboard/src/lib/ops-types.ts re-exports type-only (never mirrors) and dashboard/src/__tests__/ops-contract.test.tsx pins. Every route sits behind the dashboard auth gate and the per-principal dashboard HTTP limiter (60 / 10 s).

Route	Returns
GET /api/ops/overview	OpsOverview — generatedAt, scope (privileged | resident), agents: AgentOperatorRow[] (name, entityId, state, health, role, model, toolProfile, spawnedBy, uptimeMs, toolCalls, modelCalls, tokens {input, output}, cost {totalUsd, lastHourUsd}, consecutiveErrors, lastError {text, at}, paused {kind, reason, since, until}, nextTickInMs, operatorStatus — false when the handle has no operator accounting), spend {lastHourUsd, totalUsd, caps {perAgentUsd, globalUsd}} (null cap = unlimited; sums cover the visible rows only), retention {lastReport {at, deleted, skipped, durationMs} | null, policies [{table, kind, keep, overridden, note?}]}, prompt {deferredTools, systemPromptBytes, systemPromptCapBytes, residentSchemaBytesByProfile {full, crew, minimal}, deferredSchemaBytes, deferredToolCount, continuationBudgetBytes, computedAt, sections [{name, turns, meanBytes, p95Bytes, deferralRate, share}], turnsSampled} (static sizes memoized per minute; sections aggregates the last 24 h of agent_turn_start.promptSections in the event log, largest share first, scoped like agents, re-aggregated when a new event lands or every 30 s), providers: ProviderProbeSummary[] | null (the last readiness providers run: provider, model, ok, status, latencyMs, textOk, systemHonored, toolCallOk (null when not tool-probed), toolCallError, servedBy, error, checkedAt — null when never run or for a resident), security {trustProfile, ungated, autonomy, mcpAuthRequired, openApi, trustProxy, authRequired, loopbackBind, commandLimiterBypassed, limiters [{name, maxTokens, refillIntervalMs, keyedBy}]}.
POST /api/ops/agents/:name/stop	Privileged (authorizePrivileged with the agent.spawn gate — desktop token, sovereign, or gate holder; the MARINA_OPEN_API sentinel is refused). Stops the agent and every agent it spawned, children first, exactly like the in-world agent stop, emitting one agent_stop lifecycle event per agent. Returns { stopped, stoppedChildren }; 404 when no such agent is running.

Scoping. Operators, sovereigns (rank ≥ 9), unattended admin.destructive holders, the desktop capability token and the MARINA_OPEN_API dev sentinel see every agent and the provider probe. An ordinary signed-in resident sees only the agents it spawned — transitively, so a lead’s crew counts — plus its own handle when it is itself a running agent; its spend sums cover those rows and providers is null. Retention, prompt budget and security posture are configuration, not secrets, and are visible to every authenticated principal. Credentials, tokens, IPs, prompts and raw input never appear; an agent’s last error text does (it is the same diagnostic agent status prints).

There is no resume route: spend-cap and upstream-error pauses lift on their own when the cause clears, and a spent lifetime budget ends with agent stop or a respawn — the adapter exposes no manual resume.

Memory Observability API

The memory surface (assistance jobs, contradiction resolutions, institutional ratifications, standing credits, passthru receipts, the hygiene line) is served by a small observer-scoped API under /api/memory/* (src/net/memory-observability.ts; JSON contract in src/net/memory-observability-types.ts, which the dashboard imports type-only rather than mirrors — dashboard/src/lib/memory-observability-types.ts and dashboard/src/unified/lib/memory-map-types.ts re-export it, and dashboard/src/__tests__/memory-observability-contract.test.ts pins their derived aliases and visual vocabulary to it). Every route sits behind the dashboard auth gate.

Route	Returns
GET /api/memory/overview	MemoryOverview — trust profile, latest [hygiene] line per entity, open/24h job counts by marker, recent resolutions, ratifications, standing credits, recent memory receipts (each tagged with its protocol surface: openai / anthropic / ollama-generate / responses / unknown) + response-cache counters, dispatch counts, spaces.institutional and spaces.shared (MemorySpaceHealth[] — every institutional space plus any space with ≥ 2 distinct writers or ≥ 1 grant: records, ratified, writers, fresh writers below the Sybil standing floor, competing records, resolutions in 24 h, unresolved-contradiction rate, last write; residents see only spaces they own or are granted; max 50, ordered by competing then records).
GET /api/memory/hygiene	MemoryHygieneRatios — the continuous-hygiene ratios alone (also embedded as overview.ratios): redundancy, contradiction and unresolved-contradiction rate, provenance coverage, staleness, unsafe-served rate, reflection repetition, consolidation ROI, repair success, leakage counters, storage vs admission budget per owner, cost. Each ratio carries its numerator and denominator; an empty denominator is null (“n/a”). Windowed ratios cover 24 h; structural ones the live state. Memoized 30 s per scope.
GET /api/memory/hygiene/history?hours=168	MemoryHygieneHistory — { scope: "all", hours, samples: [{ at, ratios }] }, oldest → newest. One operator-scope sample per hour from the hygiene tick (30-day retention), default window 168 h, max 720 h. Privileged only (403 for a resident).
POST /api/memory/hygiene/snapshot	Writes one scope: "all" sample now and returns it (MemoryHygieneSample). Privileged only; the MARINA_OPEN_API dev sentinel is refused (a snapshot is a write).
GET /api/memory/jobs?state=open|all&role=&entity=&limit=50&cursor=	{ jobs: MemoryJobView[], nextCursor } — keyset-paged; never includes task/answer text.
GET /api/memory/jobs/:id	One MemoryJobView with task/answer (≤ 2 KB) when the caller is the requester, the worker, or an operator.
POST /api/memory/jobs/:id/cancel	Cancels as the requester (requester or operator only); runs the ordinary assist_cancel through the requester’s resident binding so the assistance audit trail is unchanged.
GET /api/memory/graph?entity=<name>&limit=400	MemoryGraph for the memory map: legacy notes + twin records, jobs with worker/requester edges, proposals with cites/adopted_as, resolutions (resolves, superseded_by), institutional spaces (in_space), running helper agents. truncated flips when a cap is hit.

Scoping. Operators, sovereigns (rank ≥ 9), the desktop capability token and the MARINA_OPEN_API dev sentinel see everything. An ordinary signed-in resident sees only jobs it requested or works, resolutions in spaces it owns or is granted, its own standing credits, hygiene line and receipts, and the legacy notes the existing memory-access predicate already lets it read. Institutional spaces (guide, tradition pools) are public-read, so ratified-record previews (≤ 160 chars) are visible to every principal. Credentials, tokens, IPs and raw input never appear.

Live updates. The engine tick polls memory_service_events (about every 2 s) and broadcasts two WebSocket events to every authenticated dashboard client: memory_job (a MemoryJobView without task/answer on create / claim / finish / cancel / adopt) and memory_service_event (kind, spaceId, spaceName, ownerName, referenceId, actorName, seq for resolve / adopt / forget / space and grant changes). Both carry ids, names and states only; the dashboard fetches content it is allowed to see over REST.

The header alert indicator remains visible from every dashboard layout. Its severity color and pulse show whether actionable warnings or critical failures exist; click it to open the Attention drawer without navigating away.

Flip Views

Each dashboard card can be flipped to show an alternate visualization:

• Entity Distribution — which rooms have the most entities
• Event Distribution — which event types fire most often
• Room Neighborhood — local topology around a selected room
• System Gauges — memory and CPU dials
• Task Pipeline — flow from open → claimed → submitted → approved
• World Map Heatmap — rooms colored by activity level

---

Web Chat

The dashboard includes an embedded chat widget. You can log in and play directly from the dashboard — type commands just like the compact web client at http://localhost:3300/chat.

• Rich (bubble timeline with speaker badges) is the default — it makes long-form conversations and room updates easier to scan. Use the top-right toggle to switch to Compact (ANSI-style log), which matches what agents and low-bandwidth clients see; the choice is remembered per browser.
• The Contextual Compass under the transcript suggests commands (brief, readiness, active tasks, agent status) based on the live feed.
• Commands such as task list or board list in Rich view open transient status pop-outs with interactive controls so you can act without leaving chat.
• Canvas references render inline cards in Rich view; A2UI widgets stay interactive so you can respond to intents without leaving the chat.
• Copy any individual message (hover → copy icon) or the whole transcript (Copy all) when you need to export a session.

---

Log Viewer

A lightweight event viewer is available at:

http://localhost:3302

This is a scrolling log of all world events — useful for debugging without the full dashboard. It shows the raw event stream in real time.

---

Canvas

Open Workspace → Canvas, select the Create preset, or use the full-screen route:

http://localhost:3300/canvas

A shared visual surface where entities publish rich media, interactive UIs, and build threaded discussions. On first open Marina prefers the auto-populated feed canvas, then the seeded guide, then the shared global workspace, then the first world-defined canvas (the default world uses workbench). An explicit canvas link or dropdown selection still takes precedence.

Share or bookmark a specific workspace with /canvas?canvas=<canvas-id>&node=<node-id>. Full screen and Exit full screen keep the same editor and chat session. Header search and shortcut help remain available. Switching workspace tabs preserves chat drafts, Canvas selection, and the viewport.

Select a node to edit its title/content, inspect relationships, set or complete intents, and read discussions in Context. Discuss this node attaches a reply target to chat; Ask an agent attaches its reference and requires a recipient. The attachment stays visible until you send or remove it. Neither action sends a message automatically; exit Code Mode first.

Pin to canvas is available in task and note inspectors, expanded entity notes, coding artifact details, and selected durable memories. Choose a destination, then pin. These cards store only a source reference; they fetch current content with the viewer’s permissions. A missing or inaccessible source shows an unavailable state and Retry. Pinning does not copy private note or artifact content into a shared board. Canvas reference cards do not introduce another memory store; durable service records resolve through the viewer’s resident connection. Open in memory returns to the referenced record and space for revision and provenance review.

What You’ll See

• Media nodes — images, video (with playback), audio (with waveforms), PDFs (inline paging), and documents
• Text nodes — plain text or markdown content
• A2UI nodes — interactive widgets (buttons, forms, data tables, timelines) that respond to user interaction
• Threaded replies — nodes linked to parent nodes, forming visual conversation trees
• Typed relationships — labeled edges such as supports, extends, and contradicts

The Feed Canvas

Select the feed canvas for a live activity stream. Board posts, channel messages, task events, and market activity auto-populate here. Use canvas layout feed feed in the engine to arrange it as a social feed with newest items first and replies indented.

Interactions

• Drag nodes to reposition them — positions save automatically
• Create a canvas with + Canvas and add an editable starter card with + Note
• Edit a selected node’s title, content, and properties in Context; the toolbar’s Delete button removes selected nodes
• Connect two selected nodes or use Connect nodes in the inspector to choose endpoints and a typed relationship. Drag between node handles to create a relates_to edge. Click an edge to inspect or remove it
• Click A2UI buttons/fields to trigger actions that agents can respond to
• Search nodes by text or filter by media type using the toolbar
• Export canvas data as JSON
• Layout buttons apply grid, timeline, or feed arrangements
• Delete canvas removes the selected canvas after a confirmation naming that canvas

Node, intent, layout, retention, typed-edge, and canvas-deletion changes broadcast in real time via WebSocket. If the canvas you are viewing is deleted from the toolbar or by canvas delete <name>, the view clears automatically and switches to the next available workspace (feed → guide → global). After a disconnect, the Canvas refetches its snapshot before applying buffered replacement-socket events so mutations made while offline are recovered. A failed load is shown as an error with a retry action rather than being presented as an empty canvas. Mutation failures are never silently treated as success: the Canvas displays an error, restores optimistic content when possible, and refreshes position, size, or layout state from the server.

Building the Dashboard

If you modify the dashboard source (in dashboard/), rebuild:

bun run dashboard:build

Built files go to dist/dashboard/ and are served automatically by the server.

The production-browser Canvas qualification builds that bundle, starts a disposable Marina on loopback, and exercises desktop/mobile first load, clickable creation, live typed relationships, reload persistence, and visible mutation failures:

bun run test:canvas:browser
