Ok i did it . this is Noumena's version of your favorite, ai code TUI .

I rebuilt the REPL engine to be event based added a new rust markdown rendering stack that considerably increased performance and stability i added a rust OpenAI compat websocket client i added a handful of tools and exposed a handfull of others that were hidden by default

this system is optimized for our internal inference system and models but i have recently tested it with a vanilla kimi k2.7 and it works quite well. over the next few days we will make the Noumena Inference Engine available and serve at least the k2.7 model . this project will support native noumena code (ncode) login and keys when its available.

either way, i hope y'all enjoy and find this useful. this is the first of several things i hope to launch this week

based on everything that has happened over the last week (and year really) and how good k2.7 is in this harness, it is getting tempting to make this available to y'all

Some highlights: 1. noumena login and inference engine optimized 2. works with noumena platform and cloud natively for remote sessions and 'Clients in the Cloud' lightweight materization and file specific ALCs of large repos into dedicated workspace (coming soon)

3. REPL and Terminal Runtime Rebuild A major amount of work went into rebuilding and hardening the REPL/TUI layer: - Reworked terminal rendering and screen diff behavior. - Added flicker detection and regression tests. - Added transcript mode and transcript rendering contracts. - Added terminal replay oracle coverage. - Added overlay invalidation logic. - Added virtual-scroll behavior and clamp/cold-start tests. - Added tmux and PTY integration coverage. - Added wrapper binary startup/input/transcript contracts. - Added resize/repaint policies for main-screen and alternate-screen behavior. - Added performance harnesses for long transcripts, prompt typing, markdown, highlighted code, and assistant-turn rendering.

This is one of the largest architectural deltas: code/ has a much more deliberate terminal rendering stack and validation matrix.

4. Native Rust Markdown Rendering code/ adds a Rust/N-API markdown rendering module: - native/markdown-renderer-napi - Built as a Rust cdylib. - Exposed to TypeScript via a Node/N-API binding. - Used by the markdown/fenced-code rendering path. - Covered by Rust tests and JS integration tests. - Included in the native package build flow.

5. Native Rust OpenAI-Compatible WebSocket v2 Client code/ adds a Rust/N-API OpenAI-compatible WebSocket v2 transport: - native/openai-compat-ws-v2-napi - Uses tokio, tokio-tungstenite, tungstenite, native-tls, and N-API. - Exposes functions such as connect/start/next/cancel/close. - Integrated through src/services/api/openAICompatWsV2Native.ts. - Used by the OpenAI-compatible inference client when enabled. - Covered by lifecycle tests, large-frame tests, disconnect tests, ping/timeout tests, and fallback behavior.

6. Standalone Native Packaging code/ has a stronger native packaging story: - build/package.mjs creates single-file native ncode executables. - build/packageAudit.mjs checks packages for forbidden paths/secrets. - build/packageSmoke.mjs validates packaged binaries. - tools/build_standalone_executable.sh supports wrapper-driven native builds. - Native modules are compiled and staged as part of the packaging process. - The preferred OSS user build now produces a native binary under .tmp/packages/....

7. Noumena Platform and Remote Runtime Integration code/ adds or expands product-level integrations around Noumena platform services: - Remote sessions and teleport flows. - Bridge/session ingress runtime. - App-server/client remote runtime paths. - Managed remote auth and runtime leases. - OAuth profile, roles, usage, quota, referral, bootstrap, Grove, and policy-limit services. - GitHub app install helpers using Noumena API keys/OAuth. - Remote environment and BYOK paths. - Session archive/session URL/product URL helpers.

8. Agent, Workflow, and Task Surface Expansion code/ includes expanded product surfaces around: - Agents and assistant sessions. - Team/teammate workflows. - Workflow tools and workflow slash commands. - Scheduled routines/cron tools. - Remote trigger tools. - Plugin marketplace and plugin management. - Tungsten/tmux-backed workflows. - Background task/session management.

9. Testing and Validation Expansion code/ has a much larger validation surface: - Contract tests for auth, runtime leases, remote sessions, and API clients. - Native Rust tests for the Rust modules. - Clippy/fmt-compatible Rust code. - Tmux and PTY tests. - Snapshot tests for terminal rendering. - Package smoke tests. - Product identity/exposure audits. - Build-mode and public-build guards. - Inference request shape tests. - Markdown and WebSocket native integration tests.

10. Build Modes and Public Export Work code/ now distinguishes multiple build modes: - external: public/OSS-safe default. - noumena: first-party product build. - dev: contributor/debug build. - internal: internal compatibility build. .
