BrightVision — feature overview

BrightVision is a local-LLM-first desktop IDE (Tauri + React) with a headless Python engine (Cecli on cecli). This page is the product catalog; tactical status lives in ROADMAP.md.

Shell & navigation

Area What you get
Left rail Chat, Tasks, Terminal, Git, Editor, Settings — full-surface tabs, not a VS Code clone
Activity bar Live phase (connecting, scanning repo, waiting on model), optional Response / Think timers, ~ETA when history exists
Resource overlay CPU / RAM / GPU % in the rail (desktop; system-wide polls)
Session chip File count + token context estimate; click for files_in_chat list

Chat

Feature Notes
Streaming Thinking / Reasoning / Answer sections, section duration chips
Code fences Syntax-highlighted blocks + Mermaid diagrams (not plain-text dumps)
Proposed edits SEARCH/REPLACE accordions; “applied” labels after done
Confirm flow Core prompts with Yes/No; auto-approve budget in Settings
Queue & Stop Follow-up messages while busy; clear queue from header
Clear history Sticky ✕ above transcript; confirms; sends /clear when session is live
Slash commands / palette + quick chips; /add Tab path complete (desktop)
Agents /agent, /invoke-agent, /spawn-agent, /reap-agent chips; sub-agent registry chips
Attach Images/PDF, terminal tail, folder (desktop picker / web path)
Suggested files Parses assistant Answer for paths; tray with Add all / proceed
Empty LLM Local-friendly copy + Retry / Retry with hint
Ollama client cmds /ps, /tags, /models — tables in chat (not sent to core)
Model router Fast vs heavy tier; escalate offer; force tier chips
Token footer Usage line after turns (legacy Tokens: + cecli ↑↓)

Tasks & specs (#18)

  • .cecli/todos.json + workspace HTTP API
  • Layered specs (requirements / design / tasks), depends_on, templates
  • Generate / Refine spec, background jobs
  • Implement steered steps with active task chip

Git

  • Branch, ahead/behind, working tree
  • Stage / commit / undo (desktop Rust git)
  • Commit graph
  • Auto-stage policy after turns (Settings)

Editor (#38)

  • File tabs + CodeMirror 6
  • Collapsible explorer with git status badges
  • Open from chat / suggested files
  • Optional language packs (Settings)

Terminal & engine

  • Start / Stop Cecli (spawns API on desktop)
  • Technical log (stderr + debug) vs user-facing chat
  • Local LLM panel — Ollama tags, load model, ping
  • Ping stack in Settings — Ollama 1-token probe + Vision API /health

Settings

  • Model, workspace, context files, engine path, appearance fonts
  • Thinking timers + timing history (avg/peak CPU/RAM/GPU, TPS, CSV export)
  • Suggested-files prefs (auto-add, auto-proceed)
  • Model hopper / router (UI or local-llm.env FAST_MODEL / HEAVY_MODEL / MODEL_ROUTER)
  • Resource overlay toggles
  • Agents — sub-agent registry + cecli doc links

Platform

  • macOS Homebrew brightvision, DMG build docs
  • Web dev — Vite proxy to core on :8741
  • Tests — Vitest, Playwright e2e, core pytest (TESTING.md)

What we are not (yet)

  • Full TUI sub-agent pills / agent switcher in the header
  • LSP / extension marketplace
  • GPU-driven ETA (logged for research only)

Still useful for a future pass: Agents chip row, proposed-edit accordion close-up.
