decisionnode/DecisionNode

✨ Introducing decisionnode ui

A local web UI bundled into the npm package as a third interface alongside the CLI and MCP server. Three views over the same store, with live MCP pulse animations.

decide ui            # foreground
decide ui -d         # background — returns the terminal
decide ui status     # check daemon
decide ui stop       # stop daemon

Three views

• Graph — force-directed similarity network (Cytoscape + fcose). Decisions are nodes, edges connect decisions whose embeddings exceed an adjustable similarity threshold. Hover-fade highlights neighborhoods.
• Vector Space — UMAP projection of the 3072-dim Gemini embeddings into 2D, drawn as actual vectors radiating from origin. Watch semantic clusters form.
• List — searchable, filterable cards grouped by scope. Each card colored by its creator (CLI / claude-code / cursor / windsurf / etc).

Live MCP pulse

When an MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, Cline, …) calls search_decisions, matched nodes pulse in real time in that client's attribution color via Server-Sent Events. CLI mutations (add / edit / delete) animate live too. New lightweight append-only pulses.jsonl log avoids polluting the main activity log with read-only events.

Other 0.6.0 additions

• Detached daemon mode — decide ui -d runs the UI server in the background and returns your terminal. ui status and ui stop for daemon management.
• PNG export — download or copy the current view to clipboard at 3× DPI for sharing.
• Project switcher modal — searchable, sortable, paginated picker (replaces the old dropdown).
• Shared filter bar — text + status filters apply to all three views simultaneously.
• Side panel with full per-decision activity timeline, color-coded by source.
• First-run tour + info modal explaining each view.
• Brand-aligned colors — single yellow for CLI-added decisions, per-client colors for MCP-added (centralized in src/ui/client/lib/colors.ts).
• New module src/pulse.ts for lightweight read-only event logging.

Tech notes

• New devDependencies: esbuild, preact, cytoscape, cytoscape-fcose, umap-js, tailwindcss, @tailwindcss/cli. All bundled at build time — zero new runtime dependencies.
• New build step: scripts/build-ui.mjs (esbuild + tailwindcss + asset copy).
• Bundled UI ships in dist/ui/ inside the npm tarball.
• HTTP server uses Node's built-in http module — no Express.
