Environment Handoff: Plan + Blockers (2026-03-03)

Scope completed in this environment

• Reviewed the last 24h code changes focused on new dashboard services and images:
  • LiteLLM
  • CC Connect
  • Info Engine
  • Sidebar/service wiring
• Implemented one concrete fix:
  • dashboard/docker-compose.yml
    • Set LITELLM_URL=http://litellm:4005
    • Added dashboard service to external network nas-dashboard_internal
    • Declared nas-dashboard_internal under top-level networks as external: true

Current git state summary

• Local branch context encountered during work:
  • dev had two local commits ahead of remote at one point:
    • c29bda7 (includes dashboard/docker-compose.yml + dashboard/frontend/src/routes/Terminal.svelte)
    • da88513 (dashboard/backend/routers/terminal.py)
• main was behind origin/main and was fast-forwarded locally during troubleshooting.
• Final push/merge sequence was not fully completed in this environment due runtime/interaction blockers (below).

Blockers in this environment

1. No Docker runtime in this shell

   • docker: command not found
   • Impact: cannot run compose/runtime verification (docker compose config, container health checks, end-to-end service validation).

2. Limited/fragile git remote auth flow in this session

   • Token push via URL works for some commands, but interactive/approval interruptions occurred during follow-up operations.
   • Impact: full unattended sequence (push dev -> validate -> merge main -> push main) was interrupted and must be re-executed in a more capable/stable environment.

3. Branch divergence handling required care

   • main and dev divergence prevented --ff-only merge in one attempted sequence.
   • Impact: merge strategy should be re-run intentionally after confirming remote heads in target environment.

Recommended next steps (for stronger environment)

1. Sync and inspect branch heads

   • Fetch all refs and inspect divergence between origin/main and origin/dev.
   • Confirm whether commits c29bda7 and da88513 are already on remote dev.

2. Validate compose and runtime behavior on NAS-capable host

   • Validate dashboard/docker-compose.yml syntax.
   • Confirm network exists:
     • nas-dashboard_internal
   • Verify dashboard container can resolve and reach litellm:4005 on shared network.

3. Functional verification from dashboard backend

   • Check /api/litellm/health returns up or expected auth_required.
   • Check CC Connect health/start/stop endpoints against actual container name.
   • Check Info Engine endpoints (/api/info-engine/items, /api/info-engine/health) with mounted DB path.

4. Complete git delivery flow

   • Push finalized dev.
   • Merge dev -> main using the repo’s preferred strategy.
   • Push main.
   • Confirm CI/deploy workflows trigger as expected.

Files directly touched for the LiteLLM networking fix

• dashboard/docker-compose.yml

Notes for next Claude instance

• This repo’s remote is Gitea at:
  • http://localhost:3300/jimmy/nas-tools.git
• External UI URL from project context:
  • https://git.jimmygan.com
• Prior user preference in this thread:
  • Keep CC Connect sidebar label lowercase.
