- Lower vue_ui_beta gate to "free" so all licensed users can access the
new UI without a paid subscription
- Remove "Paid tier" wording from the Try New UI banner
- Fix Vue SPA navigation in cloud/demo deployments: add VITE_BASE_PATH
build arg so Vite sets the correct subpath base, and pass
import.meta.env.BASE_URL to createWebHistory() so router links
emit /peregrine/... paths that Caddy can match
- Fix feedback button missing on cloud instance by passing
FORGEJO_API_TOKEN through compose.cloud.yml
- Remove vLLM container from compose.yml (vLLM dropped from stack;
cf-research service in cfcore covers the use case)
- Fix cloud config path in Apply page (use get_config_dir() so per-user
cloud data roots resolve correctly for user.yaml and resume YAML)
- Refactor generate_cover_letter._build_system_context and
_build_mission_notes to accept explicit profile arg (enables
per-user cover letter generation in cloud multi-tenant mode)
- Add API proxy block to nginx.conf (Vue web container can now call
/api/ directly without Vite dev proxy)
- Update .env.example: remove vLLM vars, add research model + tuning
vars for external vLLM deployments
- Update llm.yaml: switch vllm base_url to host.docker.internal
(vLLM now runs outside Docker stack)
Closes#63 (feedback button)
Related: #8 (Vue SPA), #50–#62 (parity milestone)
sync_ui_cookie() was calling window.parent.location.reload() on every
render when user.yaml has ui_preference=vue, but no Caddy is in the
traffic path (test instances, bare Docker). This caused an infinite
reload loop because the reload just came back to Streamlit.
Gate the reload on PEREGRINE_CADDY_PROXY=1. Without it, the cookie is
still written silently but no reload is attempted. Add the env var to
compose.yml and compose.cloud.yml (both are behind Caddy); omit from
compose.test-cfcore.yml so test instances stay stable.
- ui_switcher.py: add explicit guard that forces pref=streamlit when
DEMO_MODE=true, before the tier-downgrade check. Demo Vue SPA (#46)
is not yet implemented, so navigating there produced a blank screen.
- app.py: call sync_ui_cookie inside wizard gate block before st.stop()
so that cloud users with ui_preference=vue are redirected correctly
even when the first-run wizard is still active. Previous behaviour
called sync_ui_cookie after pg.run() which was never reached.
- demo/config/user.yaml: reset ui_preference to streamlit (belt-and-
suspenders alongside the code guard).
Closes: demo blank-screen regression reported 2026-03-24.
- Add explanatory comments to all 5 bare except Exception blocks clarifying that UI components must not crash the app
- Refactor sync_ui_cookie() to load UserProfile once instead of up to 3 times in normal path
- Store profile reference and reuse it in tier downgrade protection block
- Replace importlib.reload() pattern in tests with unittest.mock.patch for _DEMO_MODE
- Improves test isolation and eliminates module state contamination across test runs
- All 5 tests pass (100%)
