eebe24d8b0 feat(cli): wmill dev with per-flow proxy and responsive Dev UI (#8529)
* feat(cli): add `wmill flow dev` subcommand with per-flow reverse proxy and launch.json

Also generates .claude/launch.json for existing flow folders during `wmill init`.

* feat(cli): enhance app new with Claude Desktop integration and better defaults

- Add .claude/launch.json to generated app scaffold for Claude Code preview support
- Add "Open in Claude Desktop?" prompt that creates a CLI session and opens it
  in Claude Desktop Code mode via the claude://resume deep link
- Improve default CSS template with body background, system fonts, and padding

* fix(cli): handle both .flow and __flow suffixes in wmill dev

The flow detection in loadPaths only checked the configured suffix
(dotted or non-dotted), so users with nonDottedPaths=true who had
.flow folders (or vice versa) would see inline script edits treated
as standalone script changes instead of flow changes.

Now checks both suffix forms everywhere: type classification,
folder path extraction, path stripping, and loadWmPath lookup.
Also adds raw_app launch.json generation to init and sync pull.

* docs(cli): update generated skills with dev workflow and preview commands

Update cli-commands, write-flow, and raw-app skills to document the new
local dev workflow (wmill dev --path, --proxy-port, .claude/launch.json).
Add wmill script preview and wmill flow preview to all script/flow skills
so agents know how to test without deploying.

* fix(cli): include path in dev URL and use open.default for browser

- Append &path= to the printed/opened URL when --path is specified
- Use open.default(url) instead of open.openApp for more reliable browser opening

* chore: regenerate auto-generated CLI skills for new dev flags

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(cli): handle mixed flow suffixes in dev file watcher

The ignore() function uses isFlowPath() which only checks the configured
suffix (__flow or .flow), causing files in the other variant to be silently
ignored. Bypass the ignore check for any file inside a flow folder and
force flow type detection regardless of suffix configuration.

* feat(cli): drop default proxy in flow folders, open browser, add --no-browser

Manual `wmill dev` in a flow folder should not implicitly enable the
reverse proxy. Both proxy and legacy modes now open the browser; the
new --no-browser flag opts out. Claude Code launch.json templates pass
--no-browser so the IDE preview doesn't fight a system browser window.

* feat(cli): gate dev broadcasts by --path and push currentLastEdit on connect

When --path (or auto-detected flow path) is set, drop file events for
any other path so the dev page stays locked to the requested resource
and currentLastEdit can never reflect an unrelated edit. The connection
handler proactively pushes currentLastEdit so the page renders without
waiting for the first file change.

* fix(frontend): prefer WebSocket for flow round-trip when wmill dev is connected

updateFlow used isInIframe priority, which routed Claude Code's iframe
preview through postMessage (no listener) and silently dropped flow
edits. Flip the priority: when the wmill dev WebSocket is open, use it
(covers standalone tabs and Claude Code's preview); fall back to
postMessage only when no WS is connected (the VS Code extension's iframe
URL has no `local=true`, so it never opens one). Also stop assigning
lastSent before a channel actually accepted the message, so a CONNECTING
WS doesn't silently swallow the first change.

* feat(dev): url is source of truth for path; add workspace file picker

Drops the server-side --path gate added in 3c2d5155e1. The dev page now
filters by its URL's ?path= and the CLI is a dumb broadcaster, which
lets multiple tabs each watch different paths. When the URL has no
?path=, the page asks the CLI for a list of workspace items (flows,
scripts, raw_apps) via a new {type:'listPaths'} WS message and renders
a picker. Clicking a flow or script soft-updates the URL via
history.pushState and loads it; raw_apps surface a hint to use
`wmill app dev` since they don't render here.

* feat(dev): picker uses homepage tree view with summaries

Replace the hand-rolled Button-list picker with a TreeView-style layout
that mirrors the Windmill homepage: folder/user tree grouping via
`groupItems`, item rows rendered through the shared `Row.svelte` (no
actions, no favourites, no link — just the visual), a `SearchItems`
fuzzy filter with the same search input styling and placeholder as the
homepage, and `group-open:` chevron toggling on native <details>.

The CLI's listWorkspacePaths now also reads summaries from each item's
metadata (flow.yaml for flows, <script>.script.yaml for scripts) in
parallel so the picker shows summaries as the primary row label, same
as the homepage. Raw apps have no standard manifest so they show the
path only.

Additional polish: title shows "<workspace> (local)" instead of
generic text, subtitle trimmed, item-wrapper owns the border-b so
Row's internal last:border-b-0 doesn't zero it out, summary border
gated on group-open: to avoid doubled lines when a folder is
collapsed.

* fix(cli): wmill dev --no-browser was a no-op

Cliffy's `.option("--no-browser", ...)` creates an option named
`browser` (boolean, default undefined) that becomes `false` when the
flag is passed. The previous code checked `opts.noBrowser`, which
Cliffy never populates, so the guard silently no-op'd and the browser
always opened. Rename to `browser` and check `=== false` explicitly,
matching the `wmill app dev --no-open` convention.

* feat(dev): picker warns when wmill dev server is unreachable

Track WS state in Dev.svelte (connecting/open/closed) — 'closed' is
set on either the WS error or close event. When closed, the picker
replaces the toggle + search + tree with a warning Alert telling the
user to run `wmill dev` from the workspace root. Toggle and search are
hidden rather than rendered disabled because there's nothing to filter
anyway.

* refactor(cli): rename wmill dev --no-browser to --no-open

Match the pre-existing `wmill app dev --no-open` flag. Having
`--no-browser` on one dev command and `--no-open` on the other was
just an oversight from my earlier change. All three launch.json
templates (init, flow new, sync pull) switch to `--no-open`.

* feat(cli): wmill init creates root .claude/launch.json for the picker

Adds a workspace-root .claude/launch.json so Claude Code can launch
`wmill dev` from the project root and land on the file picker (no
--path → picker mode). Per-flow and per-raw_app launch.json files are
already generated by the existing scans. Skipped (with a gray log) if
the file already exists, so the user's customizations are preserved.

* feat(cli): add skipClaudeAssets wmill.yaml flag

When `skipClaudeAssets: true` is set in wmill.yaml, all generators
that previously wrote Claude-specific assets become no-ops:

- writeAiGuidanceFiles skips CLAUDE.md and .claude/skills/
  (AGENTS.md is still written — vendor-neutral)
- wmill init skips the root .claude/launch.json + per-flow +
  per-raw_app launch.json scans
- wmill sync pull skips the per-flow + per-raw_app launch.json scans
- wmill flow new skips the new flow's .claude/launch.json
- wmill app new skips the new raw_app's .claude/ folder + launch.json

The flag is added to SyncOptions, DEFAULT_SYNC_OPTIONS, and the
generated wmill.yaml template (commented out — opt-in).

* feat(cli): wmill init removes existing Claude assets when skipClaudeAssets is set

Re-running `wmill init` with `skipClaudeAssets: true` now removes
previously-generated Claude assets so the workspace state matches the
config. Narrow scope, no confirmation:

- per-flow / per-raw_app .claude/launch.json (each parent .claude/
  collapsed if empty)
- root .claude/launch.json
- .claude/skills/ (wholly ours; safe to remove the subtree)
- root .claude/ collapsed if empty
- CLAUDE.md only if its content matches the default
  ("Instructions are in @AGENTS.md\n"); otherwise left in place
  with a note

Each removal is logged in yellow under a single gray intro line that
prints lazily on the first removal — a clean tree stays silent.

* fix(cli): wmill workspace add browser open silently no-ops

`open.openApp(open.apps.browser, { arguments: [url] })` resolves its
Promise even when the OS-level launch does nothing, so the CLI prints
"Opened browser for you" but no tab appears. Same pattern was already
fixed in `dev.ts` by commit 3272c29c2e — use `open.default(url)`,
which delegates to the native URL opener (`open` on macOS, `xdg-open`
on Linux, `start` on Windows) and actually rejects on failure.

* fix(cli): wmill init workspace prompt no longer duplicates active profile name

Cliffy's Select.prompt renders `default: X` as `(X)` next to the
question header, which duplicates whichever workspace name the
default points to. Drop `default` and instead reorder the list so
the active profile is first (cursor-preselected by virtue of position)
and append "— active" to its label so the indicator lives where it's
contextually relevant.

* docs(skills): expand preview-vs-run guidance for write-flow + all write-script-* skills

Both `wmill flow preview/run` and `wmill script preview/run` have the
same intent split — preview hits the local file, run hits the deployed
version, sync push deploys. The skills' "after writing" sections used
to terse-list the commands and just say "do not run them yourself",
which encouraged the wrong reflex of `sync push` + `run` to "test".

Rewrite the section in both `system_prompts/base/flow-base.md` (drives
write-flow) and the `script_cli_intro` block in
`system_prompts/generate.py` (drives all write-script-<lang>) to:

- explicitly list `preview` as the default for local iteration,
- spell out the few cases when `run` or `sync push` are appropriate,
- offer to test as a one-sentence next step (no multi-option menus),
- mark `preview` as safe to run autonomously.

Regenerate auto-generated/ + cli/src/guidance/skills.ts.

* refactor(cli): wmill dev — clearer mode names and accurate startup messaging

- Rename `startLegacyServer` to `startDirectServer`. "Legacy" implied
  it was on the way out; the two modes (proxy vs direct WS) actually
  serve different topologies and both stay. Add comments above each
  section spelling out who they're for: proxy mode for embedders that
  require a localhost origin (Claude Code preview), direct mode for
  standalone browser tabs and the VS Code extension iframe.

- Replace the stale "Dev server will automatically point to the last
  script edited locally" log line. Now print path-aware text:
  - with --path (or auto-detected): "Watching <path> — edits will live
    -reload in the dev page"
  - without: "Open the dev page and pick a flow or script to preview —
    edits will live-reload" plus a hint about --path
  Mirror the same in proxy mode after the listen callback.

- Drop the redundant "Go to <url>" line when --no-open isn't passed
  (maybeOpenBrowser already prints "Opened browser at <url>").

- Rename "Server listening on port 3001" to
  "Dev WebSocket listening on ws://localhost:<port>/ws" so the line's
  purpose is obvious.

* refactor(cli): drop per-folder .claude/launch.json generation

Stop creating `.claude/launch.json` inside every flow folder, raw_app
folder, and at `wmill flow new`/`wmill app new` time. The workspace-
root `.claude/launch.json` from `wmill init` stays — it's the picker
entry point and the one place where the deterministic "click → preview"
UX is high-value.

Removed from:
- `wmill init` — per-flow + per-raw_app scans
- `wmill sync pull` — per-flow + per-raw_app scans (also drops the
  now-unused `node:fs` mkdirSync/writeFileSync import)
- `wmill flow new` — bootstrap no longer scaffolds `.claude/`
- `wmill app new` — same; also drops the `.claude/launch.json` lines
  from the post-create directory listing

Skills already give the agent the right CLI commands, so per-folder
launch.json was redundant context. Existing files in user projects
keep working but won't be regenerated; `wmill init` with
`skipClaudeAssets: true` cleans them up.

* feat(cli): wmill app new flags + tighten raw-app skill for AI agents

`wmill app new` is interactive by default, which hangs forever when an
AI agent tries to use it. Add flags so the wizard can be bypassed
end-to-end:

- `--summary <text>`, `--path <path>`, `--framework <react19|react18|
  svelte5|vue>` (required for non-interactive)
- `--datatable <name>` (opt into the datatable wizard)
- `--schema <name>` (creates schema with CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS
  if it doesn't already exist; only valid with --datatable)
- `--overwrite` (replace existing directory without prompting)
- `--no-open-in-desktop` (suppress the Claude Desktop offer)

Mode is auto-detected: providing any of --summary/--path/--framework
puts the run into non-interactive mode where the datatable wizard,
overwrite prompt, and Claude Desktop prompt all skip silently (or fail
fast on conflict instead of waiting for stdin). Each provided flag is
validated upfront with a clear error message.

Skill side: rewrite `system_prompts/base/raw-app.md`'s "Creating a Raw
App" section so the AI agent knows it should run the command itself
with flags (not tell the user to run it interactively). Direct the
agent to use `AskUserQuestion` with one bundled call to gather any
missing summary/path/framework — refuse to invent values, refuse to
default. Anti-patterns spelled out explicitly.

AGENTS.md template (`cli/src/guidance/core.ts`) had a contradicting
line ("MUST ask the user to run wmill app new in its terminal first")
that was loaded eagerly into agent context and overrode the skill —
replaced with the same agent-driven guidance, pointing to the
raw-app skill for the full procedure.

Regenerate auto-generated/ + cli/src/guidance/skills.ts.

* feat(cli): per-target preview launch.json + agent uses wmill flow new

Refactor the agent's dev/preview workflow:

- Drop root .claude/launch.json generation from `wmill init`. Sharing one
  generic entry across sessions caused preview collisions; agents now add
  per-target named entries (windmill: <wmill_path>) on demand.
- New `preview` skill in system_prompts/base/preview.md. Branches on
  whether `mcp__Claude_Preview__*` MCP tools are available: with them,
  add a per-target launch.json entry pinning its own port + --proxy-port
  + --path + --no-open and invoke the MCP preview tool; without them,
  start `wmill dev --path <X> --no-open` directly and hand the URL the
  CLI prints to the user. Never touch launch.json in the direct case.
- Agents must run `wmill flow new <path>` themselves to scaffold flows
  (folder + flow.yaml with the right suffix), parallel to the existing
  `wmill app new` rule. Missing path/summary trigger AskUserQuestion;
  no inventing values.
- write-flow skill: 4-step Creating a Flow procedure that opens the
  visual preview *before* editing flow.yaml so the user watches the
  flow take shape via live reload.
- `wmill flow new` always prints the `wmill dev --path <X>` preview
  hint; drop the Claude CLI/Desktop detection branches.

* docs(skills): open app preview before editing in raw-app skill

Mirrors the flow skill's Step 3 — opening `wmill app dev` via the
preview skill before touching App.tsx so the user watches the app
take shape via live reload, instead of seeing the finished result
at the end.

* fix(dev): guard WS replaceFlow with lockChanges to prevent echo

The postMessage handler at Dev.svelte:306-312 wraps replaceFlow with
lockChanges = true (cleared 500 ms later) so the $effect on
flowStore.val doesn't immediately re-serialize and re-send the freshly
received payload. The WebSocket handler did not, so on the initial
flow push (dev.ts:568-574 sends currentLastEdit on connect), the
client would echo back to handleFlowRoundTrip, which runs the
orphan-file scan. On content equality the write was a no-op, but the
scan could still delete files the server did not list.

Mirror the same lockChanges/timeout pattern in the WS replaceData
handler. Apply to both flow and script paths for symmetry.

* fix(cli): correct wmill dev description + gate broadcasts server-side

Two related fixes:

1. The 'auto-pushes them to the remote workspace' wording in the
   wmill dev description was wrong — the command never deploys, it
   only broadcasts file changes over WS for live preview. Reworded
   to call this out explicitly and point at 'wmill sync push' for
   the deploy case.

2. Move the path filter out of the client (Dev.svelte:491-495) and
   into broadcastChanges. Earlier the filter was client-side with
   the comment 'server stays a dumb broadcaster' even though commit
   3c2d5155 was titled 'gate dev broadcasts by --path'. Doing the
   compare server-side aligns the implementation with the commit
   narrative, cuts WS traffic when --path is set, and keeps the
   per-tab semantics for the picker (each picker tab still gets the
   full 'paths' listing on first connect).

* fix(cli): drop dead launch.json cleanup, fix description, narrow orphan scope

Three review fixes:

1. cleanupClaudeAssets removed both root and per-folder
   .claude/launch.json files that this CLI never generates anymore.
   Per the user's "feature hasn't been released yet" guidance, no
   migration is needed — drop the dead scan and the root rm. Also
   drop the now-unused nonDottedPaths argument (and its flowSuffix
   / rawAppSuffix locals).

2. The skipClaudeAssets description in template.ts listed
   .claude/launch.json among the assets it skips, but launch.json
   is no longer generated. Drop it from the description string.

3. The dev round-trip's orphan cleanup deleted any non-dot file in
   a flow folder that wasn't in extractedPaths — including
   README.md, fixtures, TODO.md, etc. Restrict the deletion to
   files whose extension is in a known inline-script set
   (.ts/.js/.py/.go/.sh/.sql/.ps1/.php/.rs/.java/.cs/.r/.graphql).

* refactor(cli, frontend): dedupe flow suffix helpers, use UI components

Five small follow-ups from the PR review:

1. dev.ts already had stripFolderSuffix() but three callsites were
   reimplementing the same .flow/__flow if-else inline. Add an
   isFlowFolderName(name) helper next to it and replace the duplicates
   in startProxyServer's cwd check, the file-watcher localPath strip,
   and normalizeWmPath.

2. Dev.svelte:866 was a <div onclick> with two svelte-ignore comments
   for the missing a11y handlers. Replace with a real <button
   type="button"> — kills the warnings, no visual change.

3. Dev.svelte:1283 was a raw <input type="text"> for the module
   summary. Replace with the existing <TextInput> component (same one
   the picker search at :1010 uses), per frontend/CLAUDE.md.

4. Dev.svelte:197 typed relativePaths as any[]; tighten to the actual
   union (string | [number, string])[] — the python helper returns
   tuples, the typescript one returns strings.

5. app/new.ts:822 fired exec("open <deeplink>") with no callback, so
   an OS that refused the URL scheme silently failed and we still
   logged "Opened in Claude Desktop!". Move the success log inside an
   exec callback that surfaces the error and prints the deep link for
   manual opening.

Plus a brief comment above parseWatchPath explaining its resync
contract (initial load + popstate + explicit pickPath, no generic
pushState listener).

* fix(cli): regenerate auto-gen for dev description; drop apostrophe to satisfy parser

generate.py:326 extracts .description() with the regex
[^"\']+ which bails on either quote type. Commit ff3a8e4ebd's new
description had an apostrophe inside double quotes ('wmill sync
push'), so the parser saw no description at all and the
auto-generated files dropped the line entirely — which is what
check-freshness caught on origin/main.

Quickest path to green CI: rephrase the description without the
inner apostrophe, then regenerate. The generator's regex is the
real bug but fixing it is out of scope here.

* feat(cli): seed app .claude/launch.json before opening Claude Desktop

When the user accepts "Open in Claude Desktop?" in wmill app new, write
a per-app .claude/launch.json (named "windmill: <appPath>") into the
freshly-created app folder before the deep link fires. Entry runs
'wmill app dev --no-open --port ${PORT:-4001}' from the app folder
(which is the cwd Claude Desktop opens with), so the user can hit play
right away to launch the preview.

Skip if .claude/launch.json already exists — never clobber user edits.

* fix toggles positions

* fix(dev): gate picker mode on ?local= so VS Code iframe still renders content

The VS Code extension iframe loads the dev page without ?path= and
without ?local=true. After the picker rework, an empty watchPath
flipped pickerMode on, so the page rendered the picker UI even
though the extension was sending replaceScript / replaceFlow
postMessages — leaving the user stuck on the picker forever.

Picker mode only makes sense on the local dev page, where the wmill
dev WebSocket can supply the workspace listing. Anywhere else (VS
Code iframe, plain remote tab) the picker has no data source and no
purpose. Add an isLocalDevPage check so the picker only shows when
?local=true is present.

* refactor(dev): mirror vscode extension's processFlowMessage round-trip

Three changes that bring our wmill dev round-trip into lockstep with
the windmill-vscode extension's processFlowMessage in src/extension.ts:

1. New cli/src/commands/dev/pathscript-restore.ts — verbatim port of
   the extension's src/utils/pathscript-restore.ts. Adds AI-agent tool
   walking that the previous local copy was missing (flows with
   PathScript-shaped tools weren't being preserved across round-trip).
   Header comment makes the cross-repo link explicit.

2. handleFlowRoundTrip rewritten to mirror processFlowMessage step-
   for-step: reads failure_module + preprocessor_module from the
   current flow.yaml, passes them to extractCurrentMapping, shares one
   pathAssigner across all extraction calls, extracts inline scripts
   from those special modules too, skips writing files whose content
   starts with !inline (treats as pointer directives), and only
   rewrites flow.yaml when the serialized YAML actually differs.

3. snapshotPathScripts / tagReplacedPathScripts callsites in loadPaths
   were passing the FlowFile wrapper instead of FlowFile.value — the
   helpers walk .modules / .failure_module / .preprocessor_module,
   which only exist on .value, so PathScript snapshots silently
   no-op'd on the file-watcher path. Pass .value at all four sites.

Deliberate divergence from the extension: orphan-cleanup keeps the
INLINE_SCRIPT_EXTS allow-list so README.md / fixtures aren't deleted.
The extension's version still over-deletes; that's tracked separately.

* docs(skills): offer visual preview after create instead of auto-opening

Both write-flow and raw-app skills used to instruct the agent to open
the visual preview without asking right after wmill flow new /
wmill app new, on the rationale that live reload is most useful when
the page is already up. In practice this surprised users — opening
the dev page has side effects (browser window pop, possibly a
launch.json entry under MCP-preview Branch A) that warrant consent.

Change Step 3 in both skills from "open it without asking" to "offer
it as a one-sentence next step" — same pattern the same skills
already use for programmatic wmill flow preview offers. Two then-
necessary anti-patterns ("just open it", "open it before editing")
are dropped along with the auto-open instruction.

* fix(cli): probe both ip stacks before binding wmill dev proxy / app dev port

Node's default listen() has platform-dependent dual-stack behaviour.
If the requested port is already held on the IPv4 stack, listen() can
silently fall back to binding IPv6-only ([::1]:N). The OS then routes
new localhost connections to the older IPv4 listener, so the user
opens http://localhost:N and sees a stale prior server with no signal
that anything is wrong. Bit us in practice: a leftover wmill dev
--proxy-port 4000 served traffic for a freshly-started wmill app dev
--port 4000.

New helper at cli/src/utils/port-probe.ts probes both 0.0.0.0 and ::
before binding. On collision it walks upward to the next free port
(up to +20) and logs a prominent warning naming the holder when lsof
/ ss can find it:

  Port 4000 is already in use (held by PID 91418 `bun`). Using
  port 4001 instead.

Wired into:
- wmill dev --proxy-port: the resolved port flows into both
  proxyServer.listen() and the &port=N parameter in the redirect
  URL, so they always match. Bind explicitly to 0.0.0.0.
- wmill app dev --port: only when the user passed --port explicitly
  (the default getPort.default(...) path already handles fallback).

* fix(dev): pass placeholder via TextInput inputProps not as top-level prop

`<TextInput>`'s top-level Props don't include `placeholder` — native
input attributes go through the `inputProps` field. The previous
`<TextInput placeholder="Summary" .../>` failed `npm run check` with
"Object literal may only specify known properties, and
'\"placeholder\"' does not exist in type 'Props<\"input\">'.".

* fix(cli): sequential port probe + sync dev test regex with renamed log

Two CI regressions on test-linux:

1. port-probe parallel race on Linux. isPortFreeOnBothStacks ran the
   IPv4 and IPv6 binds via Promise.all. On Linux the default is
   net.ipv6.bindv6only=0, so a bind(::, port) socket also takes the
   IPv4 stack on the same port. Concurrent v4 + v6 binds then race for
   v4 — one wins, the other gets EADDRINUSE on a port that is actually
   free. Walks 20 ports up, all fail the same way, throws, child exits.
   Tests that fetch http://localhost:port time out at 60s.
   Doesn't repro on macOS (bindv6only=1 by default — what I tested
   against). Probe sequentially so each bind fully releases before the
   next starts.

2. dev_server.test 1 regex out of sync. Commit 018dc3861a renamed the
   startup log from "Server listening on port N" to "Dev WebSocket
   listening on ws://localhost:N/ws" but didn't update the test, which
   times out at 30s waiting for the old string. Update the regex to
   match the current log.

* fix(cli): address dev/app PR review — bugs 1-7

Per code review:

1. app new.ts — wrap claude --session-id exec in try/finally so the
   spinner setInterval is always cleared. On rejection control jumped
   to the outer catch and the spinner kept writing \r forever, garbling
   subsequent output.

2. app new.ts — make --overwrite actually wipe the dir before
   re-creating. Previously logged "Overwriting" but only skipped the
   prompt; leftover files from a different framework (e.g. App.tsx
   from a prior react18 install when re-scaffolding as svelte5)
   survived and produced a hybrid scaffold.

3. dev/dev.ts — anchor the flow-folder match on path segments. The
   substring checks (cpath.includes(".flow/") / "__flow/") also fired
   on names like notes_about__flow_design/readme.md. New
   isInsideFlowFolder + findFlowFolderPrefix split on "/" and check
   segment suffixes. Drops the now-unreachable script→flow fallback
   inside the else branch.

4. dev/dev.ts — direct mode also routes through resolveBindPort so it
   detects dual-stack collisions like the proxy mode does. Bare getPort
   only probes one stack, defeating the whole point of port-probe.ts.
   Also bind to BIND_HOST explicitly. Drops the unused getPort import.

5. dev/dev.ts — normalize opts.path once after mergeConfigWithConfigFile.
   broadcastChanges compared against a non-normalized opts.path, so
   --path f/foo/ or --path f/foo.flow silently dropped every broadcast.
   Also pulls normalizeWmPath to module scope (was a closure inside dev()).

6. dev/dev.ts — guard the initial-state ws.send with readyState === OPEN,
   matching the other branches' pattern.

7. dev/dev.ts — typo: "givena" → "given a".

* fix(cli): address dev/app PR review — items 8-10

8. dev/dev.ts — derive INLINE_SCRIPT_EXTS from exts so adding a new
   script language to script.ts auto-extends orphan cleanup. Previously
   .gql, .nu, .rb were missing — flows using those languages would
   leave orphaned inline files behind. Excludes .yml because user
   fixtures commonly use it in flow folders, and leaving a stale
   .playbook.yml inline script is preferable to deleting a fixture.
   Keeps .js for hand-written flows that aren't in the exts list.

9. app/new.ts — wrap Claude Desktop install probe + prompt in
   process.platform === "darwin". The probe (ls /Applications/Claude.app)
   and the open command both only work on macOS — the explicit guard
   makes the platform scope grep-able.

10. app/new.ts — switch the deep-link spawn from exec(`open ${shell-
    escaped url}`) to execFile("open", [deepLink]). sessionId is a UUID
    and absAppDir is URI-encoded today so the old form was safe, but
    execFile removes the shell entirely.

* fix(cli,dev): cubic review — port-probe error semantics, pluralize spacing

[2] cli/src/utils/port-probe.ts — distinguish IPv6-unsupported from port
collision in isPortFree. Previously every error code returned false,
including EAFNOSUPPORT / EADDRNOTAVAIL on the IPv6 probe when the host
has no v6 stack at all (IPv4-only containers). resolveBindPort would
then walk all 20 ports getting the same error and throw. Treat only
EADDRINUSE / EACCES as "not free"; everything else as free.

[13] cli/src/commands/app/dev.ts — only probe both stacks when binding
to localhost. The dual-stack collision risk is specific to localhost
(which resolves to 127.0.0.1 + ::1); for an explicit IPv4 host there's
only one stack to worry about, so don't move the user's requested port
over a phantom v6 collision.

[14] frontend/src/lib/components/Dev.svelte — pluralize already inserts
a space between quantity and word, so " item" produced "3  items".
Drop the leading space in both call sites.

* docs(system_prompts): cubic review — preview args, skill scopes

Source changes in base/ + generate.py, then regenerated auto-generated/
via python system_prompts/generate.py. Per cubic review:

[4]+[7] generate.py — "pick plausible args from the `main` signature"
was language-blind. SQL queries and Bash scripts use $1/$2 positional
parameters, not a main(...) signature. Reword to call out both shapes
explicitly so the wording survives across all 19 generated language
skills (postgresql, bash, mysql, …) instead of just the ones that
happen to have main().

[5] base/raw-app.md — the "CLI Commands" table said "Tell the user
they can run these commands (do NOT run them yourself)" while the
"Creating a Raw App" section above (added in this PR) tells the agent
to run `wmill app new` itself. Carve `wmill app new` out of the table
and add a one-line note pointing back to the create flow, so the
guidance no longer self-contradicts.

[10] base/preview.md — "These print a `Go to <url>` line on stdout"
was wrong for `wmill app dev`, which prints
"🚀 Dev server running at <url>". List both line shapes explicitly and
suggest a loose http:// match for URL capture.

[12] base/flow-base.md — "regenerate lock files for the flow you
modified" misstated the default scope. `wmill generate-metadata`
scans scripts, flows, and apps by default
(see cli/src/commands/generate-metadata/generate-metadata.ts:71-73).
Update wording to call out the default scope and how to narrow it.

Also folds the cubic [1] graphql safety wording (originally a one-off
edit on the auto-generated file in a895db7) back into generate.py
itself, so it survives regeneration and applies to all language skills.

* docs(system_prompts): cubic round 2 — language-specific placeholder syntax

Round 1 wording was too narrow:

- "$1, $2 placeholders for SQL queries and Bash" was wrong for MySQL
  (`?`), Snowflake (`?`), MSSQL (`@P1`), BigQuery (`@name`), and
  PowerShell (which uses `param(...)`, not main()).
- The preview-skill URL match said "first `http://...` token" — remote
  workspaces serve HTTPS, so the regex would miss them.

Source-only fixes in generate.py and base/preview.md, then regenerated
auto-generated/ via python system_prompts/generate.py.

* fix(flow): track maxHeight in FlowGraphV2 height effect

cubic [3]: updateHeight() reads both minHeight and maxHeight, but the
$effect only tracked minHeight. Changing maxHeight alone (e.g. when a
parent shrinks the cap during a layout transition) left height frozen
at the previously clamped value.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(system_prompts): tool-agnostic wording in base/

cubic [11]: system_prompts/README.md says these prompts must NOT
contain tool usage instructions. Three base files violated this:

- base/flow-base.md (4× AskUserQuestion). Worst offender — leaks into
  the frontend copilot via FLOW_BASE in prompts.ts (consumed by
  getFlowPrompt in frontend/src/lib/components/copilot/chat/flow/
  core.ts:1287). Frontend has no AskUserQuestion tool, so the wording
  was both irrelevant and confusing there.
- base/raw-app.md (5× AskUserQuestion + 1× mcp__Claude_Preview__).
  CLI-skill-only but covered by the same scope rule.
- base/preview.md (5× mcp__Claude_Preview__). CLI-skill-only, same.

Replaced with role descriptions: "ask the user (use a structured-
question tool if your runtime has one)" and "a tool that can embed a
localhost URL inside the IDE / chat surface". Kept one mention of
mcp__Claude_Preview__ in preview.md as an illustrative example, since
documentation of one runtime is fine — what's not fine is gating
behaviour on a specific tool name.

Source-only edits, then regenerated auto-generated/ via
python system_prompts/generate.py.

Verification: grep -r AskUserQuestion system_prompts/auto-generated/
now returns nothing. The remaining AskUserQuestion refs in
cli/src/guidance/core.ts are hand-written CLI-only AGENTS.md content
(not part of system_prompts), and Claude Code does have that tool, so
those are correctly scoped.

* fix(flow): drop .no-splitter CSS hack, use snippets to skip Splitpanes

cubic [8]: the previous fix for "top pane is empty in aiagent / noEditor
mode" was a CSS rule that hid `:global(.splitpanes__splitter)` inside
.no-splitter. That cascaded into nested splitpanes too — the aiagent
left/right tabs panel (line 1043), the debug-console editor split
(line 877), and the doubly-nested debug panel (line 1472) all lost
their resize handles.

Refactor the layout instead. Extract top-pane and bottom-pane content
as snippets, then conditionally render either:
  - just the bottom snippet (no Splitpanes wrapper) when the top pane
    would be empty (aiagent or noEditor), or
  - the original two-Pane Splitpanes layout otherwise.

This removes the splitter at its root rather than hiding it, so
nested splitters are unaffected. The bottom Pane's complex bind:size
getter/setter (which returned 100 when aiagent) collapses to a simple
binding now that the aiagent path no longer goes through the wrapping
Pane at all.

* nit

* fix(flow,preview): cubic round 3 — FlowPathViewer regression + preview skill rewrite

[3149192182] FlowModuleComponent.svelte: my last refactor's
"aiagent || noEditor" condition stripped the FlowPathViewer for
noEditor + type === 'flow', because the top-pane snippet was no longer
rendered. The flow-viewer pane is the only thing that *does* show in
that mode, so it shouldn't have been collapsed. Tighten the condition
to "aiagent || (noEditor && type !== 'flow')".

[3149060930] system_prompts/base/preview.md: Branch A detection was
too broad — "can embed or open a localhost URL" is strictly weaker
than "can read .claude/launch.json and launch a configuration". Only
the Claude Desktop / Code MCP integration does the latter; most
embedders only do the former. Restructure preview.md around two
orthogonal axes:

  1. Mode (proxy vs direct) — driven by "does the embedder need a
     localhost URL?". Direct is the default; proxy is for embedders
     that sandbox cross-origin loads.
  2. Who starts the server — you spawn `wmill dev` yourself, OR a
     launch.json-aware runtime (currently only the
     `mcp__Claude_Preview__*` MCP family) launches it on demand.

The two compose into four common cases (regular browser tab, generic
preview pane, localhost-only preview pane, Claude MCP), each with a
clear instruction. The launch.json/MCP machinery is now scoped to a
single section gated on actually having that tool in your tool list.

Source-only edit in base/preview.md, then regenerated auto-generated/
via python system_prompts/generate.py.

name: write-script-python3
description: MUST use when writing Python scripts.
---
## CLI Commands
Place scripts in a folder.
After writing, tell the user which command fits what they want to do:
- `wmill script preview <script_path>` — **default when iterating on a local script.** Runs the local file without deploying.
- `wmill script run <path>` — runs the script **already deployed** in the workspace. Use only when the user explicitly wants to test the deployed version, not local edits.
- `wmill generate-metadata` — generate `.script.yaml` and `.lock` files for the script you modified.
- `wmill sync push` — deploy local changes to the workspace. Only suggest/run this when the user explicitly asks to deploy/publish/push — not when they say "run", "try", or "test".
### Preview vs run — choose by intent, not habit
If the user says "run the script", "try it", "test it", "does it work" while there are **local edits to the script file**, use `script preview`. Do NOT push the script to then `script run` it — pushing is a deploy, and deploying just to test overwrites the workspace version with untested changes.
Only use `script run` when:
- The user explicitly says "run the deployed version" / "run what's on the server".
- There is no local script being edited (you're just invoking an existing script).
Only use `sync push` when:
- The user explicitly asks to deploy, publish, push, or ship.
- The preview has already validated the change and the user wants it in the workspace.
### After writing — offer to test, don't wait passively
If the user hasn't already told you to run/test/preview the script, offer it as a one-sentence next step (e.g. "Want me to run `wmill script preview` with sample args?"). Do not present a multi-option menu.
If the user already asked to test/run/try the script in their original request, skip the offer and just execute `wmill script preview <path> -d '<args>'` directly — pick plausible args from the script's declared parameters. The shape varies by language: `main(...)` for code languages, the SQL dialect's own placeholder syntax (`$1` for PostgreSQL, `?` for MySQL/Snowflake, `@P1` for MSSQL, `@name` for BigQuery, etc.), positional `$1`, `$2`, … for Bash, `param(...)` for PowerShell.
`wmill script preview` does not deploy, but it still executes script code and may cause side effects; run it yourself when the user asked to test/preview (or after confirming that execution is intended). `wmill sync push` and `wmill generate-metadata` modify workspace state or local files — only run these when the user explicitly asks; otherwise tell them which to run.
For a **visual** open-the-script-in-the-dev-page preview (rather than `script preview`'s run-and-print-result), use the `preview` skill.
Use `wmill resource-type list --schema` to discover available resource types.
# Python
## Structure
The script must contain at least one function called `main`:
```python
def main(param1: str, param2: int):
# Your code here
return {"result": param1, "count": param2}
```
Do not call the main function. Libraries are installed automatically.
## Resource Types
On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.
You need to **redefine** the type of the resources that are needed before the main function as TypedDict:
```python
from typing import TypedDict
class postgresql(TypedDict):
host: str
port: int
user: str
password: str
dbname: str
def main(db: postgresql):
# db contains the database connection details
pass
```
**Important rules:**
- The resource type name must be **IN LOWERCASE**
- Only include resource types if they are actually needed
- If an import conflicts with a resource type name, **rename the imported object, not the type name**
- Make sure to import TypedDict from typing **if you're using it**
## Imports
Libraries are installed automatically. Do not show installation instructions.
```python
import requests
import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime
```
If an import name conflicts with a resource type:
```python
# Wrong - don't rename the type
import stripe as stripe_lib
class stripe_type(TypedDict): ...
# Correct - rename the import
import stripe as stripe_sdk
class stripe(TypedDict):
api_key: str
```
## Windmill Client
Import the windmill client for platform interactions:
```python
import wmill
```
See the SDK documentation for available methods.
## Preprocessor Scripts
For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named `preprocessor` and receives an `event` parameter:
```python
from typing import TypedDict, Literal, Any
class Event(TypedDict):
kind: Literal["webhook", "http", "websocket", "kafka", "email", "nats", "postgres", "sqs", "mqtt", "gcp"]
body: Any
headers: dict[str, str]
query: dict[str, str]
def preprocessor(event: Event):
# Transform the event into flow input parameters
return {
"param1": event["body"]["field1"],
"param2": event["query"]["id"]
}
```
## S3 Object Operations
Windmill provides built-in support for S3-compatible storage operations.
```python
import wmill
# Load file content from S3
content: bytes = wmill.load_s3_file(s3object)
# Load file as stream reader
reader: BufferedReader = wmill.load_s3_file_reader(s3object)
# Write file to S3
result: S3Object = wmill.write_s3_file(
s3object, # Target path (or None to auto-generate)
file_content, # bytes or BufferedReader
s3_resource_path, # Optional: specific S3 resource
content_type, # Optional: MIME type
content_disposition # Optional: Content-Disposition header
)
```
