* fix(release): dedupe the published dsl, close two release-path blind spots
Three independent defects on the release path.
1. `@openmaic/storage`, `@openmaic/renderer` and `@openmaic/importer`
declared `"@openmaic/dsl": "workspace:*"`, which pnpm publishes as an
EXACT pin. The tarballs on the registry today say storage@0.1.1 needs
dsl 0.5.0, renderer@0.0.3 needs dsl 0.4.0 and importer@0.1.1 needs dsl
0.4.0, so installing storage together with renderer yields two copies
of the dsl. The dsl carries the schema, the validators and the version
constants, so a document produced against one copy can be validated by
the other's schema revision.
`workspace:^` publishes as `^0.5.0`. Under 0.x that admits 0.5.x, so a
dsl patch reaches dependents without republishing them while a dsl
minor still requires a deliberate dependent release. All three
packages take a patch version increase, both because
check-package-version-bumps.mjs requires one and because the corrected
range only reaches consumers through a new release.
The tarball smoke test now asserts the packed range, so an exact pin
cannot come back unnoticed.
2. The publish workflow's build-integrity guard ran `git diff --quiet --
packages/@openmaic`, which compares the worktree to the INDEX. The
steps before it run third-party package code, which needs no
credential to rewrite a tracked file and `git add` it, after which the
guard reported clean and the rewritten bytes were packed and
published. Both copies of the guard now compare against HEAD, the
commit actually being released.
3. `@openmaic/storage`'s PostgreSQL contract suites refuse to skip when
STORAGE_PG_CONTRACT_REQUIRED=1, but that refusal is a `throw` inside
the test modules, so it never fires if vitest stops collecting them.
Collection is decided by `packages/@openmaic/storage/vitest.config.ts`,
which is on the ignore list of publishable inputs, so excluding
`*.pg.test.ts` there turns both PostgreSQL backends off with a green
run and no version bump.
scripts/assert-pg-contract-suites.mjs reads vitest's json results and
requires both suite files to be present, passed and non-empty, keyed
on the file names rather than on a count. It runs in the publish
workflow's validate job and in the storage PostgreSQL contract
workflow.
Merging this publishes @openmaic/storage@0.1.2, @openmaic/renderer@0.0.4
and @openmaic/importer@0.1.2. That republish is the fix for (1), not a
side effect of it: the corrected dependency range exists only in a
tarball that has not been cut yet.
* fix(release): audit the contract database, pin the format version to a minor
Follow-up on cross-vendor review of the three release-path fixes.
1. The PostgreSQL assertion proved far less than it claimed. Vitest's
`assertionResults` are test CASES, not `expect()` calls, so one
`test('x', () => {})` per required filename satisfied it — and the
whole surface is reachable without a version bump, because `test/` is
on the same ignore list as `vitest.config.ts`. A `vi.mock('pg', ...)`
in the already-wired `test/setup.ts`, or a stubbed suite body, made it
print "ran against a real database" having checked nothing of the
sort.
The script now runs in two phases. Phase 1 keeps the file/status
checks. Phase 2 connects to PG_CONTRACT_URL from outside the vitest
process and requires all five tables the two backends own to exist and
to show inserts in pg_stat_user_tables. Nothing inside `test/` can
forge that. Cumulative insert counters rather than surviving rows,
because the suites clean up after themselves. The success message now
states only what was checked.
2. Validation packed with lifecycle scripts while publishing runs
`--ignore-scripts`, so committing `workspace:*` plus a `prepack` that
rewrites it to `workspace:^` passed the tarball assertion and then
published the exact pin. Both the smoke test and the workflow's
dry-run pack now pass `--config.ignore-scripts=true`, so validation
and publication have identical lifecycle semantics.
3. `workspace:^` unpins the serialized-format version that the exact pin
was silently holding. DSL_VERSION and RUNTIME_DSL_VERSION are
decoupled from the npm version by design, and storage compares them by
value across the package boundary. Under `^0.5.0` a dsl PATCH could
therefore hand a new format to an already-published storage: one
install resolves it and stamps the new version into document_stages,
another install pinned to the older patch reads that row and hard-
fails. Two installs of one published storage version, data-
incompatible.
check-package-version-bumps.mjs now requires a change to either
constant to carry at least a MINOR increase of the dsl package
version, since a caret does not cross a 0.x minor. The rule is
documented next to both constants. That doc edit is itself a
publishable change, so dsl takes a patch bump to 0.5.1.
4. The range and build-integrity guards ran only in the publish workflow,
so a pull request restoring `workspace:*` or leaving a stale generated
file failed at release time, after a version number had been spent.
ci.yml gains a cheap source-level range check
(scripts/check-internal-dependency-ranges.mjs) and the
`git diff --quiet HEAD` integrity check after its install step. The
tarball assertion stays where it is as the release-time proof of
actual published behaviour.
Merging this now publishes @openmaic/dsl@0.5.1 as well as
@openmaic/storage@0.1.2, @openmaic/renderer@0.0.4 and
@openmaic/importer@0.1.2.
* fix(release): fail the gates closed, and state what they actually prove
Confirmation round on the release-path fixes.
1. The format-version rule failed open if version.ts moved. It hard-coded
one source path and returned successfully when either revision lacked
it, so renaming the file, changing DSL_VERSION and bumping dsl by a
patch passed both checks. It now reports an error whenever the file is
absent at either revision while dsl has any publishable change. The
constant regex is anchored to the start of a line, so a commented-out
declaration cannot be read as the value, and a duplicate declaration is
an error rather than a coin flip.
2. "At least a MINOR" was wrong past 1.0.0: `^1.0.0` admits minors, so a
format change shipped as a minor would float into published dependents
exactly as the rule exists to prevent. The rule is now stated as what
it needs to be — an increase the dependents' caret range will NOT admit
— computed from the pre-change version: a minor while dsl is 0.x, a
major once it reaches 1.0.0. The error message and the docs in
version.ts say the same thing.
3. Internal declarations outside `dependencies` bypassed both range
checks. Keeping `dependencies` at `workspace:^` while adding an exact
`peerDependencies` or `optionalDependencies` entry published a second,
tighter constraint and passed. An owned package must now appear exactly
once, in `dependencies`; entries in the peer and optional fields are
rejected outright, in the source check and in the packed-manifest
assertion. The global count test is replaced by naming the three
dependents that must be present.
4. The format rule compared against the base tip, so an un-rebased branch
produced an inverted message. It now uses the merge base, matching the
`base...HEAD` form the rest of diff mode uses. Deliberately not applied
to the version comparison, where the tip is the correct reference.
5. Phase 2 had no baseline, so cumulative counters from an earlier run
satisfied it forever against a non-ephemeral database. It now captures
the counters before the vitest step and requires a positive delta.
Both workflows gained the capture step.
6. Phase 2 overclaimed. It proves rows were inserted into those five
tables during the run, not that the built PgDocumentStore and
PgRuntimeStore inserted them — `test/` is on the publishable-input
ignore list, so test code could write directly. The success message now
says exactly that, and the script documents the threat model: this
catches accidental silencing, which is the defect it was written for;
it is not a defence against someone who can merge changes to `test/`,
who can alter production code just as easily.
Also: scripts/openmaic-packages.mjs is now the single source for the
owned package list, consumed by all three checking scripts, and it
cross-checks itself against both the packages directory and
publish-packages.yml so a package added in one place and forgotten in
another fails rather than going quietly exempt. The workflow's own YAML
lists cannot import it, which is why they are cross-checked instead.
* fix(release): let the format-version source move without opening the gate
Failing closed on a missing version.ts is right, but on its own it made a
rename impossible to merge: the new path does not exist at the base
revision either, so the check refused both before and after the move.
DSL_VERSION_SOURCES is now an ordered candidate list, resolved per
revision against the first path that exists there. A rename lands by
prepending the new path in the same change, and the comparison still
happens across the move. Absent everywhere at either revision, while dsl
has any publishable change, remains an error.
* fix(release): report package-list drift instead of crashing on it
Every check in check-internal-dependency-ranges.mjs reads the shared
package list, so a list naming a package that does not exist threw an
ENOENT out of readManifest before any finding was printed. It failed
closed, but unreadably. The list is now validated first and fatally, with
its own headline.
* fix(release): anchor the caret to the base branch, and check the gates' own inputs
Final confirmation round.
1. The caret escape was computed from the merge base, which is the wrong
reference for it. With merge base dsl 0.5.1, an ordinary minor landing
on main taking the tip to 0.6.0, and HEAD at 0.6.1 with a changed
DSL_VERSION, the rule computed the escape from 0.5.1, got 0.6.0, and
accepted 0.6.1 — but dependents released against 0.6.0 publish
`^0.6.0`, which admits 0.6.1, so the new format reached them anyway.
0.6.1 is also the minimum the ordinary version check allows, making
that the default outcome rather than an unlucky one.
The escape is now computed from the HIGHEST dsl version reachable on
the base branch. Whether the format moved still comes from the merge
base, because that is a question about the branch. The comment on
mergeBaseWithHead now records that it is a no-op in both current CI
invocations (checkout uses the merge ref on pull_request, and the
before-SHA is an ancestor on push) rather than claiming a case that is
not exercised there.
2. The workflow cross-check matched raw text, so a commented-out trigger
path still satisfied it while silently disabling that package's
release. Full-line comments are now stripped first; the `on.push.paths`
list and every `for pkg in ...` loop are compared as exact sets, so an
unexpected entry fails as well as a missing one; and `--filter` usage
is checked more loosely, because individual steps legitimately filter
subsets. The limits of a textual check are stated where it lives.
3. `locate()` returned the first candidate format-version source that
existed, so during a half-finished rename the gate could compare a file
that is no longer the exported one. It now resolves every candidate per
revision and fails unless exactly one declares the constants.
4. INTERNAL_DEPENDENTS was checked in one direction only, so deleting an
entry exempted that package from the source check and from the packed
assertion that iterates the same map. It is now cross-checked both
ways, an owned package in another owned package's devDependencies is
rejected outright, and multiple owned dependencies no longer collapse
to whichever was declared last.
5. assertPackageListIsComplete() now also runs in release mode, which is
the gate that decides what gets published; and the PostgreSQL script
consumes flag values properly instead of treating the first non-flag
argument as the results path.
Also documents, in openmaic-packages.mjs, the threat model these gates
share: they catch mistakes, and anyone who can merge edits to scripts/
can edit production code directly, so deliberate subversion is out of
scope and cannot be closed by adding further checks.

3. Run
pnpm dev
Open http://localhost:3000 and start learning!
4. Build for Production
pnpm build && pnpm start
Optional: ACCESS_CODE (Shared Deployments)
To protect your deployment with a site-level password, set ACCESS_CODE in .env.local:
ACCESS_CODE=your-secret-code
When set, visitors see a password prompt before accessing the app. All API routes are also protected. If not set, the app works as before.
Vercel Deployment
Or manually:
- Fork this repository
- Import into Vercel
- Set environment variables (at minimum one LLM API key)
- Deploy
Docker Deployment
cp .env.example .env.local
# Edit .env.local with your API keys, then:
docker compose up --build
Server-backed persistence (PostgreSQL)
The server-persistence profile runs exactly two containers: the OpenMAIC app
and PostgreSQL. The persistence HTTP server is embedded in the app at
/api/persistence; there is no standalone persistence service.
cp .env.example .env.local
printf '\nDATABASE_URL=postgres://openmaic:openmaic-dev@postgres:5432/openmaic\nPERSISTENCE_DEV_TOKEN=openmaic-local-dev\n' >> .env.local
NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE=1 NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE_TOKEN=openmaic-local-dev docker compose --profile server-persistence up --build
Add your provider API keys to .env.local as usual. Runtime sessions and course
documents become server-backed; device-scoped KV data (including the anonymous
device learner key and playback position) remains in the browser. Existing
browser course data is copied into the configured server store lazily, one
course at a time when it is first accessed, using the same verified migration
path as browser persistence.
NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE is a build-time switch compiled into the browser
bundle. A build with it enabled must be deployed with a working runtime
DATABASE_URL and PERSISTENCE_DEV_TOKEN, while
NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE_TOKEN must match that server token at build time.
Otherwise the browser selects HTTP persistence but the embedded endpoint
returns configuration/authentication/initialization errors; the home page shows
a persistence-unavailable toast and keeps the prior course list instead of
misleadingly displaying an empty library.
PERSISTENCE_DEV_TOKEN and NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE_TOKEN are not a
secret in any meaningful sense: the NEXT_PUBLIC_ token is compiled into
the public JavaScript bundle, fully visible to every visitor, and therefore
provides no confidentiality and no user isolation whatsoever — anyone who
can load the page can extract it and read or write every learner partition
and all documents by choosing an x-learner-key. Its only purpose is to
keep unrelated network scanners out of an endpoint on a trusted network. This
is suitable only for localhost or trusted-network, single-user deployments. Before production,
replace
lib/persistence/server-auth.ts with real
session verification that derives the learner partition from server-controlled
identity, and change the document/merge/admin authorization policies as
appropriate.
PERSISTENCE_POSTGRES_PASSWORD initializes the PostgreSQL role only when the
data directory is empty; changing it later does not rotate an existing
openmaic-postgres volume. For a disposable local database, run
docker compose --profile server-persistence down -v, set the new password and
matching DATABASE_URL, then start the profile again. To preserve data, connect
as an administrator and run ALTER ROLE openmaic WITH PASSWORD 'new-password';,
then update DATABASE_URL.
Compose cannot attach depends_on to openmaic only when this optional profile
is active without also affecting the default deployment. Startup therefore
relies on the embedded route's retry-on-next-request behavior while PostgreSQL
becomes healthy.
The embedded endpoint implements the package's
RuntimeStore HTTP contract
and
DocumentStore HTTP contract.
Leave NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE unset to retain the existing browser-only
behavior.
Optional: MP4 Video Export (Render Service)
The "Export Video" menu builds a self-contained Hyperframes project entirely in the browser. Turning that into an MP4 needs Chromium + FFmpeg on Node 22, so it runs in an isolated render-service container rather than the app.
It's opt-in. Start it with the video-export compose profile:
docker compose --profile video-export up --build
The app auto-detects the service via RENDER_SERVICE_URL (preset in docker-compose.yml) and enables one-click MP4 rendering. Without the profile — or when RENDER_SERVICE_URL is unset — export degrades to downloading the project ZIP for local CLI rendering. See render-service/README.md for standalone setup and tuning (RENDER_MAX_CONCURRENCY, etc.).
Optional: MinerU (Advanced Document Parsing)
MinerU provides enhanced parsing for complex tables, formulas, and OCR. You can use the MinerU official API or self-host your own instance.
Set PDF_MINERU_BASE_URL (and PDF_MINERU_API_KEY if needed) in .env.local.
Optional: VoxCPM2 (Self-Hosted TTS with Voice Cloning)
VoxCPM2 is an open-source TTS model from OpenBMB with voice cloning. OpenMAIC ships an adapter; run VoxCPM on your own hardware and OpenMAIC will talk to it.
1. Run a VoxCPM backend. Three deployment styles, all behind the same OpenMAIC adapter. You toggle which one in Settings.
| Backend | Endpoint | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| vLLM-Omni | /v1/audio/speech |
OpenAI-compatible speech endpoint, ideal for GPU servers |
| Python API | /tts/upload |
Official VoxCPM Python runtime via FastAPI |
| Nano-vLLM | /generate |
Lightweight Nano-vLLM FastAPI deployment |
See the VoxCPM repo for backend setup.
2. Point OpenMAIC at it. Open Settings → Text-to-Speech → VoxCPM2, pick the backend, and paste your Base URL. The Request URL preview confirms OpenMAIC will hit the right endpoint.
Or pre-configure it via env var (no API key required):
TTS_VOXCPM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000/v1
3. Manage voices. Three voice modes, all under Settings → Text-to-Speech → VoxCPM2 → VoxCPM Voices.
- Auto Voice (default): OpenMAIC generates a voice prompt from each agent's persona at synthesis time. No setup required.
- Prompt voice: describe the voice in natural language, e.g. "warm female teacher voice, calm and encouraging, mid-pitch".
- Clone voice: upload a short reference audio clip or record one in the browser. The clip is stored in IndexedDB and sent to your VoxCPM backend on each synthesis.

Offline / intranet classrooms: When you export a classroom (.maic.zip) or a Resource Pack, OpenMAIC inlines the external assets referenced by interactive scenes (KaTeX, Three.js incl. three/addons, Tailwind CDN, Google Fonts, images) into the exported HTML as data: URIs. The exported course then plays fully offline after import into an air-gapped/intranet instance — no public CDN is contacted at playback time. Assets that can't be fetched at export time (e.g. CORS-restricted image hosts) are reported and left as URLs. Classrooms exported before this feature still reference CDNs and must be re-exported to gain offline support.
