Foundry includes a full-featured **React + Express** dashboard for managing your software factory visually.

## Dashboard

The main dashboard shows system status, iteration count, queue length, completed tasks, goals, and quick stats at a glance.

## Projects

View registered projects with their sandbox path, branch, HEAD commit, and status. Discovered (unregistered) sandbox directories can be added with one click.

![Projects page: registered and discovered projects](https://bifrost5.com/images/ui/projects.png)

Register a new project by providing a Project ID, display name, optional Git URL (auto-cloned into the sandbox), and branch.

## Tasks

Full task management: view In Progress, Queue, Completed, and Blocked tasks. Each card shows validation status, tags, acceptance criteria count, and supports edit/duplicate/expand.

![Tasks page: in progress, queue, completed, blocked sections](https://bifrost5.com/images/ui/tasks.png)

Create tasks with execution mode presets (Default, Normal, Thinking, Savings, or custom). Set provider, agent mode, task type, instructions, acceptance criteria, and working directory.

## Logs & Chat Visualizer

Real-time log viewer with project selection. The **Visualize Chat** tab renders the supervisor↔agent conversation as a chat timeline: supervisor prompts on the left, agent responses on the right.

Click *View details* on any message to inspect the full prompt, rules, guidelines, and read-only context injected into each task.

## Settings

### General

System settings saved to Postgres. Configure provider strategy, sandbox root, Ollama base URL, and circuit breaker TTL. `.env` values take precedence at runtime.

### Provider Strategies

Three built-in strategies (claude-primary, cursor-primary, gemini-primary) with primary and secondary provider chains. Duplicate or create custom strategies.

### Execution Modes

Task creation presets that auto-fill provider/model. Built-in modes: Default, Normal (Claude Sonnet), Thinking (Claude Opus), Savings (Cursor Composer). Create custom modes for any provider combination.

## Access

After running `npm run setup`, visit `http://localhost:5173`. The dashboard communicates with the Express backend API which connects to DragonflyDB and Postgres.
