Technology Stack: Manual Slop

Core Language

Dear PyGui: For immediate/retained mode GUI rendering and node mapping.
ImGui Bundle (imgui-bundle): To provide advanced multi-viewport and dockable panel capabilities on top of Dear ImGui.

FastAPI: High-performance REST API framework for providing the headless backend service.
Uvicorn: ASGI server for serving the FastAPI application.

google-genai: For Google Gemini API interaction and explicit context caching.
anthropic: For Anthropic Claude API interaction, supporting ephemeral prompt caching.
DeepSeek (Dedicated SDK): Integrated for high-performance codegen and reasoning (Phase 2).
Gemini CLI: Integrated as a headless backend provider, utilizing a custom subprocess adapter and bridge script for tool execution control.
Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview: Tier 1 Orchestrator model for complex reasoning.
Gemini 3 Flash Preview: Tier 2 Tech Lead model for rapid architectural planning.
Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite: High-performance, low-latency model for Tier 3 Workers and Tier 4 QA.
DeepSeek-V3: Tier 3 Worker model optimized for code implementation.
DeepSeek-R1: Specialized reasoning model for complex logical chains and "thinking" traces.

tree-sitter & tree-sitter-python: For deterministic AST parsing and generation of curated "Skeleton Views" and interface-level memory structures.
pydantic / dataclasses: For defining strict state schemas (Tracks, Tickets) used in linear orchestration.
tomli-w: For writing TOML configuration files.
psutil: For system and process monitoring (CPU/Memory telemetry).
uv: An extremely fast Python package and project manager.
pytest: For unit and integration testing, leveraging custom fixtures for live GUI verification.
ApiHookClient: A dedicated IPC client for automated GUI interaction and state inspection.
mma-exec / mma.ps1: Python-based execution engine and PowerShell wrapper for managing the 4-Tier MMA hierarchy and automated documentation mapping.

Event-Driven Metrics: Uses a custom EventEmitter to decouple API lifecycle events from UI rendering, improving performance and responsiveness.
Synchronous IPC Approval Flow: A specialized bridge mechanism that allows headless AI providers (like Gemini CLI) to synchronously request and receive human approval for tool calls via the GUI's REST API hooks.
