Unreliable readiness check — services may be falsely reported as "started".
The auto-start path sleeps only 1.5s and then checks proc.poll() to decide success. That only catches processes that crashed almost immediately; services that take longer to bind (e.g. Flow/Langflow, which imports heavy deps) will still be reported as "started successfully" even though the port isn't yet accepting connections. The user then sees "Auto-start complete" and loads the dashboard before services are actually available.
The /start/{service} FastAPI handler below (lines ~663–702) already implements the correct pattern: poll proc.poll() + connect_ex((check_host, service_port)) against a deadline. Please apply the same logic here (or factor it into a shared helper) so both code paths agree on what "started" means.

🧩 Analysis chain
🌐 Web query:
Does the praisonaiui (PyPI: aiui) package version 0.3.100+ expose a public create_app() function that returns an ASGI app usable with uvicorn.run?
💡 Result:
No, the praisonaiui (PyPI: aiui) package version 0.3.100+ does not expose a public create_app function that returns an ASGI app usable with uvicorn.run. The official documentation and README across PyPI pages for versions 0.3.100, 0.3.97, 0.3.96, etc., and the GitHub repository https://github.com/MervinPraison/PraisonAIUI consistently show the usage pattern as: 1. pip install aiui 2. import praisonaiui as aiui in app.py 3. Configure with aiui.set_style, aiui.register_agent, etc. 4. Run with CLI: aiui run app.py This CLI command internally creates and runs the ASGI app (dependencies include fastapi, uvicorn, sse-starlette, confirming ASGI/FastAPI base), serving on http://localhost:8000. No mention of a public create_app, aiui.create_app, or equivalent function in any API tables or examples. The Python SDK exposes functions like set_style, set_pages, register_agent, @aiui.reply decorators, but not app creation. Users do not call uvicorn.run directly; the CLI handles it. In related PraisonAI docs (e.g., AGUI), create_app patterns exist via FastAPI(app).include_router(...); uvicorn.run(app), but that's for praisonaiagents.AGUI, not aiui/praisonaiui.

Fix code injection vulnerability and correct aiui integration in _run_aiui_dashboard.
Several issues require fixing:
-
Code injection from f-string interpolation (Line 195): The
hostandportvalues are interpolated directly into Python source code. Ahostvalue containing quotes will break the script or execute arbitrary code. Pass host/port via subprocess arguments instead:aiui_script = ''' import sys import praisonaiui as aiui # ... rest of config ... if __name__ == "__main__": import uvicorn host = sys.argv[1] port = int(sys.argv[2]) app = aiui.create_app() uvicorn.run(app, host=host, port=port) ''' # ... subprocess.run([sys.executable, temp_script, host, str(port)])
-
aiui.create_app()does not exist: The praisonaiui package (aiui ≥0.3.100) does not expose a publiccreate_app()function. The official API uses decorators (@aiui.reply,@aiui.welcome) and config functions (aiui.set_style,aiui.set_pages), but not direct ASGI app creation. Use the supported entrypoint instead:subprocess.run(["aiui", "run", temp_script])or refactor to match the library's actual public API. -
Unreachable
ImportErrorhandler (Lines 225–228): TheImportErrorexception cannot be raised here because aiui is only imported inside the subprocess, never in the current function. The availability check at lines 210–213 already covers missing packages. Remove the duplicate dead-code handler. -
Bare
except:clause (Lines 221–223): Replace withexcept (OSError, FileNotFoundError):or usetempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(..., delete=True)as a context manager for automatic cleanup.

--aiui ignores --auto-start and returns early without backend services.
When aiui=True, _run_aiui_dashboard is invoked before _auto_start_services, so the aiui-based dashboard comes up with no Flow/Claw/UI backends even though auto_start defaults to True. This contradicts the stated objective that --aiui is an "enhanced" mode of the same unified dashboard. If that is intentional, document it explicitly in the --aiui help text and the docstring; otherwise call _auto_start_services(console, host) before delegating to aiui.
Also, _run_aiui_dashboard returns False on failure but the caller discards it silently — a failed --aiui launch will exit 0. Consider raise typer.Exit(code=1) on the failure paths.

@claude fix all above issues you have access to the branch and its not a fork pr also aiui is the default dashboard layout, you might need to understand how to build dashboard with that . go through its code and then butild the deafult dashboard, rather than creating the dashboard from scratch |
