Agent entry point for WorldMonitor. Read this first, then follow links for depth.
Real-time global intelligence dashboard. TypeScript SPA (Vite + Preact) with 86 panel components, 60+ Vercel Edge API endpoints, a Tauri desktop app with Node.js sidecar, and a Railway relay service. Aggregates 30+ external data sources (geopolitics, military, finance, climate, cyber, maritime, aviation).

api/*.jsare Vercel Edge Functions: self-contained JS only- They CANNOT import from
../src/or../server/(different runtime) - Only same-directory
_*.jshelpers and npm packages - Enforced by
tests/edge-functions.test.mjsand pre-push hook esbuild check
server/code is bundled INTO Edge Functions at deploy time via gatewayserver/_shared/contains Redis client, rate limiting, LLM helpersserver/worldmonitor/<domain>/has RPC handlers matching proto services- All handlers use
cachedFetchJson()for Redis caching with stampede protection
proto/ definitions -> buf generate -> src/generated/{client,server}/ -> handlers wire up
- GET fields need
(sebuf.http.query)annotation repeated stringfields needparseStringArray()in handlerint64maps tostringin TypeScript- CI checks proto freshness via
.github/workflows/proto-check.yml
The app ships multiple variants with different panel/layer configurations:
full(default): All featurestech: Technology-focused subsetfinance: Financial markets focuscommodity: Commodity markets focushappy: Positive news only
Variant is set via VITE_VARIANT env var. Config lives in src/config/variants/.
- Define proto message in
proto/worldmonitor/<domain>/ - Add RPC with
(sebuf.http.config)annotation - Run
make generate - Create handler in
server/worldmonitor/<domain>/ - Wire handler in domain's
handler.ts - Use
cachedFetchJson()for caching, include request params in cache key
- Create
src/components/MyPanel.tsextendingPanel - Register in
src/config/panels.ts - Add to variant configs in
src/config/variants/ - Wire data loading in
src/app/data-loader.ts
src/utils/circuit-breaker.tsfor client-side- Used in data loaders to prevent cascade failures
- Separate breaker per data domain
- Redis (Upstash) via
server/_shared/redis.ts cachedFetchJson()coalesces concurrent cache misses- Cache tiers: fast (5m), medium (10m), slow (30m), static (2h), daily (24h)
- Cache key MUST include request-varying params

Runs automatically before git push:
- TypeScript check (src + API)
- CJS syntax validation
- Edge function esbuild bundle check
- Edge function import guardrail test
- Markdown lint
- MDX lint (Mintlify compatibility)
- Version sync check
- Web: Vercel (auto-deploy on push to main)
- Relay/Seeds: Railway (Docker, cron services)
- Desktop: Tauri builds via GitHub Actions
- Docs: Mintlify (proxied through Vercel at
/docs)
fetch.bind(globalThis)is BANNED. Use(...args) => globalThis.fetch(...args)instead- Edge Functions cannot use
node:http,node:https,node:zlib - Always include
User-Agentheader in server-side fetch calls - Yahoo Finance requests must be staggered (150ms delays)
- New data sources MUST have bootstrap hydration wired in
api/bootstrap.js - Redis seed scripts MUST write
seed-meta:<key>for health monitoring
