IJFW Dashboard
Local observability dashboard at `http://localhost:37891`. Shows observations from all platforms (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) in real time via SSE.
Commands
ijfw dashboard start # bind port 37891, open browser (unless $CI)
ijfw dashboard stop # send shutdown, clean up PID + port files
ijfw dashboard status # show port, uptime, observation count
How it works
- Port 37891 by default; walks to 37900 if busy. Actual port written to `.ijfw/dashboard.port`.
- Reads `~/.ijfw/observations.jsonl` (shared ledger across all platforms).
- SSE delivers new observations within 150ms of ledger append.
- Single-file HTML viewer -- no React, no build step, no external network.
- `localhost`-gated: external requests return 403.
Platform coverage
| Platform | Writes observations | Reads dashboard | |---|---|---| | Claude Code | yes | yes | | Codex | yes | yes | | Gemini | yes | yes | | Cursor | view-only | yes | | Windsurf | view-only | yes | | Copilot | view-only | yes |
Session start
Dashboard observations render at session start via `session-start-dashboard.sh`. Run `ijfw dashboard start` to also open the browser view.
