Description

An open dashboard tab is supposed to notice when the gateway starts serving a
newer build and offer a reload. It has not done that since the API moved under
/api/v1. The check polls /dashboard-build.json, the gateway serves it beside
the dashboard at its own root, and the poll has been asking for
/api/v1/dashboard-build.json, which nothing mounts. Every request has been a
404, so anyone who left a tab open through a deploy kept running the old bundle
with nothing to tell them.

It stayed hidden because both halves are individually reasonable and neither
complains. #1026 rewrote every caller to drop the version and let apiFetch
prepend the root, which is right for an API resource; this one is not an API
resource, and was already documented as "not served by the gateway's API at all".
And the poll deliberately swallows a failure, because a tab that cannot reach the
check still works and the next poll retries, so a permanent 404 looks exactly
like a healthy quiet.

The route is where it belongs, so the fix is on the client: a small siteFetch
for the handful of things the gateway serves at its own root, and a shared
constant for the path so the poll and the test that proves the gateway answers it
cannot drift apart again.

One thing beyond the title, and please push back if you would rather it were
split.
Fixing the poll makes the prompt appear for the first time in months,
and it appears broken: its background is the 14% brand tint, which is a fill
meant to lie on a surface the way a chip does, while this pill floats over the
top bar, so the breadcrumbs read straight through the text. It is a one-line
change to an opaque surface, keeping the accent as the border. I did not want to
ship a fix whose visible result is a garbled banner, but it is a separate defect
and I am happy to lift it out.

How to test it locally

make dashboard
uv run otari serve

Sign in, then confirm the poll is answered rather than 404ing: the network panel
shows GET /dashboard-build.json returning 200 every minute, where before the
change it showed GET /api/v1/dashboard-build.json returning 404.

For the prompt itself, simulate a redeploy while the tab is open:

printf '\n<!-- redeployed -->\n' >> src/gateway/static/dashboard/index.html

Within a minute the tab offers "An update is available." with Update now and
Later. The build id is a digest of index.html, so that append is enough. I
drove exactly this in a browser before and after the change: before, the prompt
never appeared; after, it appears and is legible.

Already covered automatically: useDashboardBuild has a test that spies on
fetch and asserts the URL, which is the only thing that says which helper was
used, and it goes red if the hook is routed back through apiFetch; siteFetch
has tests for its URL and its two failure paths; and a parity spec asserts
against the real gateway that the root path answers 200 and that the API-root
path is a 404. pnpm --dir web run lint, typecheck and test (6272) pass, and
make lint passes. No backend file changes, so the spec and the Postman
collection are untouched.

Walkthrough

Changes

The dashboard build poll now requests /dashboard-build.json from the gateway root through siteFetch. Tests cover routing, credentials, errors, and catalog access. The update prompt now uses surface colors and medium elevation.

Dashboard build fetch

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gateway-root fetch helper
web/src/shared/api/client.ts, web/src/shared/api/client.test.ts
Adds DASHBOARD_BUILD_PATH and siteFetch, including credential omission, timeout, network, and non-success response handling.
Dashboard build polling integration
web/src/shared/api/deployment.ts, web/src/shared/api/deployment.test.tsx
useDashboardBuild uses siteFetch with the shared root path. Tests verify the root request and error state.
Application and route validation
web/src/app/App.test.tsx, web/e2e/parity.bootstrap.spec.ts
Application tests cover the build poll and public catalog routing. The end-to-end test verifies the build file at the gateway root and not under API_ROOT.

Update prompt styling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update prompt visual update
web/src/app/UpdatePrompt.tsx
Changes the prompt to surface and foreground colors and adds medium elevation while retaining the accent border and pill layout.

not a feature in the old otari system, so not that important

@khaledosman khaledosman reopened this Sep 15, 2026
khaledosman and others added 2 commits September 16, 2026 10:07
The stale-tab check has been asking for `/api/v1/dashboard-build.json` since the
API moved under `/api/v1` (#1026), while the route stayed mounted beside the
dashboard at the gateway's own root. Every poll has been a 404, so an open tab
never noticed it was running a bundle the server no longer serves and the reload
prompt never appeared.

It went unnoticed because both halves are individually right and neither
complains. #1026 rewrote every caller to drop the version and let `apiFetch`
prepend the root, which is correct for an API resource; this one is not an API
resource (`include_in_schema=False`, and `client/local.ts` already said "not
served by the gateway's API at all"). And the one caller treats a failed poll as
"no answer yet", by design, so the failure has no symptom beyond the feature
quietly not working.

So the fix is on the client rather than the route: `siteFetch` reads a path the
gateway serves at its own root, and the build path is a shared constant so the
poll and the e2e spec that proves the gateway answers it cannot drift again.

Also gives the prompt an opaque ground, which is the second half of making this
observable. `bg-primary-subtle` is a 14% tint, a fill meant to lie on a surface
the way a chip does; this pill floats over the top bar, so the breadcrumbs read
straight through it. Nobody had seen it, because nobody had seen the prompt.

`fetch` defaults to `credentials: "same-origin"`, so the poll attached the
session cookie once a minute for the life of every open tab, to an endpoint that
reads no credential. The docstring already claimed it sent none; now it does.

The build id beside it already had a length assertion; the version had only
a type check, so an empty string would have passed a route whose contract
says otherwise.
