# Standalone CLI
Fusion works as a standalone CLI without pi. This is useful for CI environments, scripting, or if you prefer working from the terminal.
## Installation
```bash
npm install -g @gsxdsm/fusion
```
## Authentication
Fusion uses [pi](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono) for AI agent sessions and reuses your existing pi authentication. You can also authenticate directly through the dashboard UI.
If you don't have pi set up yet: `npm i -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent && pi` then `/login`.
## Usage
### Start the dashboard
Launch the web UI and AI engine:
```bash
fn dashboard
fn dashboard --port 8080
fn dashboard --interactive # Interactive port selection (prompts for port)
fn dashboard --paused # Start with automation paused (review before work begins)
fn dashboard --dev # Start web UI only (no AI engine)
```
### Multi-Instance Deployments
When deploying the dashboard behind a load balancer with multiple instances, configure Redis pub/sub for real-time badge updates across instances:
```bash
# Set Redis URL for cross-instance badge synchronization
export FUSION_BADGE_PUBSUB_REDIS_URL="redis://redis.example.com:6379"
# Optional: customize the pub/sub channel (default: fusion:badge-updates)
export FUSION_BADGE_PUBSUB_CHANNEL="my-app-badge-updates"
fn dashboard
```
With this configuration, PR/issue badge updates received via webhook on one instance are delivered to subscribed WebSocket clients on all instances.
### GitHub App Webhook Setup
For real-time PR/issue badge updates, configure a GitHub App to push updates to the dashboard:
**Required Environment Variables:**
```bash
export FUSION_GITHUB_APP_ID="123456"
export FUSION_GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH="/path/to/private-key.pem"
# Or: export FUSION_GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY="$(cat /path/to/private-key.pem)"
export FUSION_GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET="your-webhook-secret"
```
**GitHub App Configuration:**
1. Create a GitHub App at Settings → Developer settings → GitHub Apps
2. Set the **Webhook URL** to `https://your-domain/api/github/webhooks`
3. Generate and download a **Private Key**
4. Configure these **Permissions**:
- Metadata: Read
- Pull requests: Read
- Issues: Read
5. Subscribe to these **Webhook Events**:
- Pull request
- Issues
- Issue comment
**Minimum Permissions Summary:**
| Permission | Level | Purpose |
|------------|-------|---------|
| Metadata | Read | Access repository metadata |
| Pull requests | Read | Fetch PR status, title, comments |
| Issues | Read | Fetch issue status, title, state |
**Fallback Behavior:**
When webhooks are not configured or delivery fails, the dashboard falls back to the 5-minute background refresh on the PR/issue status endpoints. The 5-minute staleness window ensures reasonably fresh data even without webhooks.
### Create a task
```bash
fn task create "Fix the login redirect bug"
fn task create "Update hero section" --attach screenshot.png --attach design.pdf
```
### Manage tasks
```bash
fn task list # List all tasks
fn task show KB-001 # Show task details, steps, and log
fn task move KB-001 todo # Move a task to a column
fn task merge KB-001 # Merge an in-review task and close it
fn task pr-create KB-001 # Create a GitHub PR for an in-review task
fn task pr-create KB-001 --title "Custom PR title" --base develop --body "PR description"
fn task log KB-001 "Added context" # Add a log entry
fn task pause KB-001 # Pause a task (stops automation)
fn task unpause KB-001 # Resume a paused task
fn task attach KB-001 ./error.log # Attach a file to a task
fn task import owner/repo # Import GitHub issues as tasks
fn task import owner/repo --limit 10 --labels "bug,enhancement"
```
### Typical workflow
```bash
# 1. Create a task — it lands in triage
fn task create "Add dark mode support"
# 2. Start the dashboard — AI specs the task and begins working
fn dashboard
# 3. Check progress
fn task list
fn task show KB-042
# 4. When it reaches "in-review", review the changes and merge
fn task merge KB-042
```
## Standalone binary
Prebuilt standalone binaries are available that require no Node.js runtime. You can also build one yourself with [Bun](https://bun.sh/):
```bash
bun run build.ts
```
### Runtime Assets
When using standalone binaries, the dashboard's integrated terminal requires native platform assets that must be co-located with the binary:
```
dist/
├── kb # Binary (or kb-darwin-arm64, kb-linux-x64, etc.)
├── client/ # Dashboard web assets (required)
└── runtime/ # Native terminal assets (required for terminal)
└── darwin-arm64/ # Platform-specific subdirectory
├── pty.node # Native PTY module
└── spawn-helper # Unix spawn helper (macOS/Linux only)
```
**Platform-specific subdirectories:**
- `darwin-arm64/` - macOS Apple Silicon
- `darwin-x64/` - macOS Intel
- `linux-arm64/` - Linux ARM64
- `linux-x64/` - Linux x64
- `win32-x64/` - Windows x64
**Important:** When distributing or moving the binary, ensure the `client/` and `runtime/` directories are copied alongside it. Terminal functionality will gracefully degrade (return HTTP 503) if runtime assets are missing — the dashboard will continue to work but terminal sessions won't be available.
**How it works:**
When the dashboard starts from a Bun-compiled binary, it attempts to set up native module resolution so `node-pty` can find its platform-specific `.node` files. This involves:
1. Copying native assets to a temp directory (`/tmp/kb-bunfs-<pid>/kb/prebuilds/<platform>/`)
2. Attempting to create a symlink at `/$bunfs/root` pointing to the temp directory (Unix platforms)
3. If the symlink can't be created (e.g., macOS permissions), pre-loading the native module via `process.dlopen()`
If all resolution methods fail, terminal creation gracefully returns `null`, which the HTTP layer converts to a 503 Service Unavailable response.
**Cross-compilation:** Native assets are staged per-platform during build. When cross-compiling, only the target platform's assets are included. PTY functionality requires running on a platform with matching native assets.
