## Overview

This documentation suite provides comprehensive technical reference for the Manual Slop application — a GUI orchestrator for local LLM-driven coding sessions. The guides follow a strict old-school technical documentation style, emphasizing architectural depth, state management details, algorithmic breakdowns, and structural formats.

## GUI Panels

### Context Hub

The primary panel for project and file management.

- **Project Selector**: Switch between `<project>.toml` configurations. Changing projects swaps the active file list, discussion history, and settings.
- **Git Directory**: Path to the repository for commit tracking and git operations.
- **Main Context File**: Optional primary context document for the project.
- **Output Dir**: Directory where generated markdown files are written.
- **Word-Wrap Toggle**: Dynamically swaps text rendering in large read-only panels between unwrapped (code formatting) and wrapped (prose).
- **Summary Only**: When enabled, sends file structure summaries instead of full content to reduce token usage.
- **Auto-Scroll Comms/Tool History**: Automatically scrolls to the bottom when new entries arrive.

### Files & Media Panel

Controls what context is compiled and sent to the AI.

- **Base Dir**: Root directory for path resolution and MCP tool constraints.
- **Paths**: Explicit files or wildcard globs (`src/**/*.py`).
- **File Flags**:
  - **Auto-Aggregate**: Include in context compilation.
  - **Force Full**: Bypass summary-only mode for this file.
- **Cache Indicator**: Green dot (●) indicates file is in provider's context cache.

### Discussion Hub

Manages conversational branches to prevent context poisoning across tasks.

- **Discussions Sub-Menu**: Create separate timelines for different tasks (e.g., "Refactoring Auth" vs. "Adding API Endpoints").
- **Git Commit Tracking**: "Update Commit" reads HEAD from the project's git directory and stamps the discussion.
- **Entry Management**: Each turn has a Role (User, AI, System, Context, Tool, Vendor API). Toggle between Read/Edit modes, collapse entries, or open in the Global Text Viewer via `[+ Max]`.
- **Auto-Add**: When toggled, Message panel sends and Response panel returns are automatically appended to the current discussion.
- **Truncate History**: Reduces history to N most recent User/AI pairs.

### AI Settings Panel

- **Provider**: Switch between API backends (Gemini, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Gemini CLI, MiniMax).
- **Model**: Select from available models for the current provider.
- **Fetch Models**: Queries the active provider for the latest model list.
- **Temperature / Max Tokens**: Generation parameters.
- **History Truncation Limit**: Character limit for truncating old tool outputs.

### Token Budget Panel

- **Current Usage**: Real-time token counts (input, output, cache read, cache creation).
- **Budget Percentage**: Visual indicator of context window utilization.
- **Provider-Specific Limits**: Anthropic (180K prompt), Gemini (900K input).

### Cache Panel

- **Gemini Cache Stats**: Count, total size, and list of cached files.
- **Clear Cache**: Forces cache invalidation on next send.

### Tool Analytics Panel

- **Per-Tool Statistics**: Call count, total time, failure count for each tool.
- **Session Insights**: Burn rate estimation, average latency.

### Message & Response Panels

- **Message**: User input field with auto-expanding height.
- **Gen + Send**: Compiles markdown context and dispatches to the AI via `AsyncEventQueue`.
- **MD Only**: Dry-runs the compiler for context inspection without API cost.
- **Response**: Read-only output; flashes green on new response.

### Operations Hub

- **Focus Agent Filter**: Show comms/tool history for specific tier (All, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4).
- **Comms History**: Real-time display of raw API traffic (timestamp, direction, kind, provider, model, payload preview).
- **Tool Calls**: Sequential log of tool invocations with script/args and result preview.

### MMA Dashboard

The 4-tier orchestration control center.

- **Track Browser**: List of all tracks with status, progress, and actions (Load, Delete).
- **Active Track Summary**: Color-coded progress bar, ticket status breakdown (Completed, In Progress, Blocked, Todo), ETA estimation.
- **Visual Task DAG**: Node-based visualization using `imgui-node-editor` with color-coded states (Ready, Running, Blocked, Done).
- **Ticket Queue Management**: Bulk operations (Execute, Skip, Block), drag-and-drop reordering, priority assignment.
- **Tier Streams**: Real-time output from Tier 1/2/3/4 agents.

### Tier Stream Panels

Dedicated windows for each MMA tier:

- **Tier 1: Strategy**: Orchestrator output for epic planning and track initialization.
- **Tier 2: Tech Lead**: Architectural decisions and ticket generation.
- **Tier 3: Workers**: Individual worker output streams (one per active ticket).
- **Tier 4: QA**: Error analysis and diagnostic summaries.

### Log Management

- **Session Registry**: Table of all session logs with metadata (start time, message count, size, whitelist status).
- **Star/Unstar**: Mark sessions for preservation during pruning.
- **Force Prune**: Manually trigger aggressive log cleanup.

### Diagnostics Panel

- **Performance Telemetry**: FPS, Frame Time, CPU %, Input Lag with moving averages.
- **Detailed Component Timings**: Per-panel rendering times with threshold alerts.
- **Performance Graphs**: Historical plots for selected metrics.
