Summary:
## Goal
- **Previous (Completed):** Resolve Qwen 3.5 35B model internal reasoning blocks appearing in output; Create comprehensive project summary.
- **New (Primary):** Build a fully-functional OpenClaw Agent Dashboard that connects to real OpenClaw sessions, displays actual agent status, and manages bot tokens/bindings.

## Constraints & Preferences
- Preferred local model: `local/qwen3.5-35b-a3b`
- Model server: `llama-swap` (port 9069)
- Dashboard must use **BMAD methodology** - fully functional features, not half-assed placeholders
- Dashboard running at: `http://fred:3006` (accessible via hostname, not just localhost)
- OpenClaw gateway running at: `http://localhost:18789`

## Progress
### Done
- [x] Qwen 3.5 template injection fix for reasoning blocks
- [x] Project summary exported to `/home/crogers2287/PROJECT_SUMMARY.md`
- [x] **Agent Dashboard Core:** Created Next.js 16 dashboard with 49 TypeScript files
- [x] **Connection System:** Auto-discover local agents, manual remote setup
- [x] **Database:** Prisma + SQLite schema for agents, files, tokens, activity
- [x] **API Routes:** agents, tokens, bindings, status, sync, start/stop/restart
- [x] **Real OpenClaw Integration:** Updated `openclaw.ts` to use CLI commands (`openclaw channels status`, `openclaw config get`) instead of fake HTTP endpoints
- [x] **Real Agent Status:** Agents now show actual "running" status based on bindings + channel status
- [x] **Real Bot Tokens:** Token manager scans `config.yaml` and pre-populates existing Telegram accounts
- [x] **Dashboard Access:** Running on `0.0.0.0:3006` accessible via `http://fred:3006`

### In Progress
- [ ] Verify all dashboard buttons function correctly (start/stop/restart)
- [ ] Test AI-assisted profile generator (Gemini 3.0 Flash integration)
- [ ] Ensure bindings editor writes to live `~/.openclaw/bindings.yaml`

### Blocked
- (none)

## Key Decisions
- **CLI over HTTP:** Dashboard uses `openclaw` CLI commands instead of HTTP endpoints because OpenClaw gateway is a SPA returning HTML for all routes (no JSON API at `/health`)
- **Local-First Connection:** Simplified connection wizard to detect local agents first, offer remote as fallback
- **Status via Bindings:** Agent running status determined by checking if bound Telegram account is actively polling

## Next Steps
1. User to verify dashboard at `http://fred:3006` shows correct agent status
2. Test start/stop/restart buttons trigger actual gateway actions
3. Verify bot tokens show existing Telegram accounts from config
4. Implement AI-assisted profile generator if needed

## Critical Context
- **Dashboard Location:** `/home/crogers2287/agent-dashboard/`
- **OpenClaw Library:** `/home/crogers2287/agent-dashboard/src/lib/openclaw.ts` - uses `exec()` to run CLI commands
- **Bindings File:** `~/.openclaw/bindings.yaml` - maps agentId to Telegram accountId
- **Config:** `~/.openclaw/node.json` - gateway config
- **Active Telegram Accounts:** 9 accounts (canna, carl, clinker, ghc, grant, magoo, maya, selena, twain)
- **Auth Providers:** anthropic, google, kimi-code, zai, minimax configured
- **Dashboard Port:** 3006 (bound to 0.0.0.0 for network access)
- **OpenClaw Gateway:** port 18789

---

**Turn Context (split turn):**

## Original Request
User wants the Bot Tokens page to display all Telegram bots from their config with assigned agents, and the ability to reassign agents to bots.

## Early Progress
- Confirmed CLI works: `openclaw config get channels` returns telegram accounts with bot tokens
- Discovered API was returning empty array - existing route wasn't properly reading config
- Rewrote `/api/tokens/route.ts` to:
  - Fetch Telegram accounts from `openclaw config get channels`
  - Fetch bindings from `openclaw config get bindings`
  - Fetch status from `openclaw channels status`
  - Match agents to bots via bindings
  - Return BotInfo objects with id, accountId, token, botUsername, agentId, agentName, status, lastActivity

## Context for Suffix
- New API returns bots with `agentId` and `agentName` fields populated from bindings
- Frontend page at `/src/app/tokens/page.tsx` still uses old interface (`BotToken`) without agent assignment UI
- Need to update the frontend to:
  1. Match new API response shape (BotInfo interface)
  2. Display assigned agent for each bot
  3. Add agent reassignment capability (dropdown to select agent)

It takes forever to load each page, it's loading the data new every time


User is complaining about slow page loads - each page is taking forever because it's fetching data fresh every time. This is a common Next.js issue where data isn't being cached properly.

I need to add:
1. Client-side caching (React Query or SWR)
2. Server-side caching for API routes
3. Maybe some optimistic updates

Let me implement proper caching with SWR for the frontend and add some caching headers for the API routes.

Let me add proper caching with SWR to fix the slow loads:

exec

cd /home/crogers2287/agent-dashboard && npm install swr

Good, SWR is installed. Now let me create a hooks file for data fetching with SWR that will cache the data and prevent re-fetching on every page navigation.

write

import useSWR from 'swr'

const fetcher = (url: string) => fetch(url).then(r => r.json())

// Cache config - data stays fresh for 30s, revalidates in background
const SWR_CONFIG = {
  dedupingInterval: 30000, // Don't refetch same data within 30s
  revalidateOnFocus: false, // Don't refetch when tab focuses
  revalidateOnReconnect: true, // Refetch when network reconnects
  keepPreviousData: true, // Keep showing old data while fetching new
}

export function useAgents() {
  const { data, error, isLoading, mutate } = useSWR('/api/agents', fetcher, {
    ...SWR_CONFIG,
    refreshInterval: 60000, // Auto-refresh every minute
  })

  return {
    agents: data || [],
    isLoading,
    isError: error,
    mutate, // Force refresh if needed
  }
}

export function useTokens() {
  const { data, error, isLoading, mutate } = useSWR('/api/tokens', fetcher, {
    ...SWR_CONFIG,
    refreshInterval: 60000,
  })

  return {
    bots: data || [],
    isLoading,
    isError: error,
    mutate,
  }
}

export function useStatus() {
  const { data, error, isLoading, mutate } = useSWR('/api/status', fetcher, {
    ...SWR_CONFIG,
    refreshInterval: 30000, // Status updates more frequently
  })

  return {
    status: data,
    isLoading,
    isError: error,
    mutate,
  }
}

export function useAgent(id: string | null) {
  const { data, error, isLoading, mutate } = useSWR(
    id ? `/api/agents/${id}` : null,
    fetcher,
    SWR_CONFIG
  )

  return {
    agent: data,
    isLoading,
    isError: error,
    mutate,
  }
}

The agents route is doing a lot of work on every GET request - it reads the filesystem, checks bindings, updates the database, etc. Let me simplify this and add caching headers.

    prisma.activityLog.findMany({
      orderBy: { timestamp: 'desc' },
      take: 10,
      include: { agent: { select: { displayName: true, emoji: true, id: true } } }
    })
  ])

  // Get real agent events from OpenClaw commands.log (cached)
  let commandActivity = cachedActivity
  const now = Date.now()

  // Only re-read log every 30 seconds
  if (existsSync(LOG_PATH) && now - lastLogRead > 30000) {
    try {
      const stats = statSync(LOG_PATH)
      const logContent = readFileSync(LOG_PATH, 'utf-8')
      const lines = logContent.split('\n').filter(Boolean).slice(-30).reverse()

  }

  // Merge and sort activity

Let me also update the agents page to use the hooks for caching.

The agents page has its own fetching logic. Let me update it to use the SWR hook.

'use client'

import { useState, useMemo } from 'react'

export default function AgentsPage() {
  const router = useRouter()
  const { agents, isLoading, mutate } = useAgents()
  const [search, setSearch] = useState('')

  const filtered = useMemo(() => {
    if (!search) return agents
    const query = search.toLowerCase()
    return agents.filter((a: any) =>
      a.displayName?.toLowerCase().includes(query) ||
      a.name?.toLowerCase().includes(query)
    )
  }, [search, agents])

  const handleStatusChange = (id: string, newStatus: 'running' | 'stopped') => {
    mutate() // Refresh from server
  }

  return (

              Agents

              {agents.length} agent{agents.length !== 1 ? 's' : ''} configured

            <Button variant="outline" size="icon" onClick={() => mutate()} disabled={isLoading}>
              <RefreshCw className={'h-4 w-4 ' + (isLoading ? 'animate-spin' : '')} />

Now I've added:
1. SWR for client-side caching with 30-second deduplication
2. Cache-Control headers on API routes for browser/CDN caching
3. In-memory caching for the log file reading (only re-reads every 30s)

This should dramatically speed up page loads. Let me verify the dashboard is still running and works.

Done. The dashboard now has **3 layers of caching**:

1. **SWR Client Cache** - Pages share data, won't refetch for 30s
2. **HTTP Cache Headers** - Browser caches responses for 30s
3. **In-Memory Cache** - Log file only read once per 30s

**Key changes:**
- All pages now use `useAgents()`, `useTokens()`, `useStatus()` hooks
- API routes return `Cache-Control` headers
- Status route caches log parsing in memory

Refresh `http://fred:3006/tokens` - it should load instantly on subsequent visits.

It's not connecting now


The user is saying the dashboard is "not connecting now". This could mean:
1. The dashboard server crashed or isn't running
2. The API routes are failing
3. There's some error in the code

Let me check if the server is still running and look for any errors.


LISTEN 0      511                        0.0.0.0:3006       0.0.0.0:*    users:(("next-server (v1",pid=2303769,fd=22))


Server is running. Let me test the API endpoints directly to see what's failing.

exec

curl -s http://localhost:3006/api/tokens 2>&1 | head -100


The API is working and returning data. Let me check the agents endpoint too:

API is returning data correctly. Let me check the browser console - might be a frontend issue:

curl -s http://localhost:3006/api/agents 2>&1 | head -50
