OptaFly_Zed

OptaFly_Zed Widget-Log Zed CI

OptaFly_Zed is a performance-enhanced distribution of Zed editor with Widget-Log semantic caching natively integrated, delivering 280x faster AI responses out of the box.


✨ What Makes OptaFly_Zed Special?

Widget-Log Semantic Caching (Built-In)

OptaFly_Zed comes with intelligent AI caching that automatically provides:

  • 280x faster responses on cache hits (43ms vs 12,201ms)
  • 💰 60% cost reduction on Claude API usage
  • 🎯 95% semantic similarity accuracy - catches rephrased questions
  • 🔒 Secure localhost-only HTTPS proxy with token authentication
  • 🚀 Zero configuration required - works immediately on first run
  • 🌐 Cross-platform - Linux, macOS, and Windows support

Performance Highlights

Metric Value
Cache Hit Speedup 280-1122x faster
Response Time (Hit) 37-43ms
Response Time (Miss) 10,000-57,000ms
Semantic Matching 93-95% accuracy
Cache Hit Rate 57-60% typical

Intelligent Features

  • Semantic Matching: Detects similar questions even with different wording
  • Multi-Project Intelligence: Separate caches per project maintain context boundaries
  • Default Fallback: OptaFly_Zed project auto-created for immediate caching
  • Fuzzy Detection: "How do I optimize?" ≈ "What's the best way to optimize?"
  • 384-dim Embeddings: Using sentence-transformers for semantic understanding
  • FAISS Search: Fast similarity lookup across thousands of cached queries

🔒 Security

  • Localhost-Only: Proxy binds to 127.0.0.1:8443 (cannot be accessed from network)
  • 256-bit Authentication: Secure Bearer token required for all requests
  • SSL/TLS Encryption: Self-signed certificate for HTTPS
  • Dedicated Port: Port 8443 exclusively for Widget-Log
  • Auto-Generated Credentials: Tokens created on first run

🐛 Troubleshooting

Widget-Log Not Starting

If the proxy doesn't start automatically:

# Check Python installation
python3 --version  # Should be 3.8+

# Manually start Widget-Log
cd widget-log
./start-proxy.sh

Cache Not Working

# Verify proxy is running
ps aux | grep secure_proxy

# Test connection
curl -k https://127.0.0.1:8443/health

# Check Zed settings
cat ~/.config/zed/settings.json | grep "127.0.0.1:8443"

API Key Issues

# Verify API key is set
grep ANTHROPIC_API_KEY ~/.local/share/optafly-zed/widget-log/.env

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

General Questions

What's the difference between OptaFly_Zed and standard Zed?

OptaFly_Zed adds three major enhancements to Zed:

  1. Widget-Log Semantic Caching: 280x faster AI responses through intelligent caching
  2. OptaCore Architecture Engine: Tensor-based architecture modeling and visualization
  3. Performance Optimizations: Enhanced build configurations and ML foundations

Standard Zed is an excellent editor, but OptaFly_Zed specifically targets AI-heavy workflows and architecture design.

Is OptaFly_Zed free to use?

Yes! OptaFly_Zed is open source:

  • For personal/internal use: Completely free under AGPL-3.0
  • For extracting OptaFly components (Widget-Log, OptaCore): Free under MIT or Apache-2.0
  • For commercial SaaS deployment: Free, but requires source disclosure (AGPL-3.0)

See LICENSE.md for complete licensing details.

Do I need an Anthropic API key?

Yes, Widget-Log caches Claude API responses, so you need:

Cost Savings: Widget-Log typically reduces API costs by 60% through caching!

Can I use OptaFly_Zed without Widget-Log?

Yes! OptaFly_Zed works as a standard Zed editor even without Widget-Log active. You'll lose the semantic caching benefits but gain:

  • OptaCore architecture modeling
  • Performance optimizations
  • All standard Zed features

To disable Widget-Log, simply don't start the proxy or remove the proxy configuration from Zed settings.

Installation & Setup

Why is the initial build taking so long?

Rust compiles to native code, which takes time:

  • First build: 10-30 minutes (compiles all dependencies)
  • Subsequent builds: 1-5 minutes (incremental compilation)

Tips to speed up builds:

# Use more CPU cores (replace 8 with your core count)
cargo build --release -j 8

# Use mold linker (Linux)
sudo apt install mold
export RUSTFLAGS="-C link-arg=-fuse-ld=mold"
What if the proxy fails to start?

Common issues and solutions:

Port 8443 already in use:

# Find what's using port 8443
sudo lsof -i :8443
# Kill the process or change Widget-Log port in configuration

Python dependencies missing:

cd widget-log
pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

Permission errors:

# Ensure proxy script is executable
chmod +x widget-log/start-proxy.sh

# Check directory permissions
ls -la ~/.local/share/optafly-zed/widget-log/

Still not working? Run proxy manually to see error messages:

cd widget-log
source venv/bin/activate
python secure_proxy.py
How do I verify Widget-Log is working?

Check these indicators:

1. Proxy is running:

ps aux | grep secure_proxy
# Should show: python3 secure_proxy.py

2. Health check passes:

curl -k https://127.0.0.1:8443/health
# Should return: {"status": "ok"}

3. Cache statistics available:

# Get auth token
TOKEN=$(grep WIDGET_LOG_AUTH_TOKEN ~/.local/share/optafly-zed/widget-log/.env | cut -d= -f2)

# Check stats
curl -k -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" https://127.0.0.1:8443/stats | jq '.'

4. Logs show activity:

tail -f ~/.local/share/optafly-zed/widget-log/logs/widget-log.log

Features & Performance

How does semantic caching work?

Widget-Log uses 384-dimensional sentence embeddings to detect similar queries:

  1. Query arrives: "How do I optimize my code?"
  2. Embedding generated: Converted to vector using sentence-transformers
  3. FAISS search: Finds similar cached queries (cosine similarity)
  4. Threshold check: If similarity > 93%, it's a cache hit
  5. Return cached response: 43ms instead of 12,000ms!

Example matches:

  • "How do I optimize?" ≈ "What's the best way to optimize?" (95% similar)
  • "Fix this bug" ≈ "Debug this issue" (94% similar)
  • "Explain classes" ≈ "What are classes?" (91% similar - cache miss at 93% threshold)
Does caching work across projects?

Yes! Widget-Log maintains separate caches per project:

  • Project-specific cache: Queries about "MyProject" stay separate from "OtherProject"
  • Default fallback: If no project detected, uses "OptaFly_Zed" cache
  • Cross-project learning: General programming questions (syntax, patterns) can match across projects

You can view per-project stats in the cache statistics endpoint.

How much disk space does the cache use?

Typical cache sizes:

  • Small project (100 queries): ~5-10 MB
  • Medium project (1000 queries): ~50-100 MB
  • Large project (10,000 queries): ~500 MB - 1 GB

Cache is stored in: ~/.local/share/optafly-zed/widget-log/cache/

To clear cache:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/optafly-zed/widget-log/cache/*
# Proxy will rebuild on next query

Commercial Use & Licensing

Can I use OptaFly_Zed commercially?

Yes, but understand the licensing:

Internal company use (developers on your team):

  • ✅ Fully permitted under AGPL-3.0
  • ❌ No source disclosure required
  • ✅ Free to use

SaaS/network deployment (users access remotely):

  • ✅ Permitted under AGPL-3.0
  • ⚠️ Must disclose source code to users
  • ⚠️ Modifications must remain open source

Using only OptaFly components (Widget-Log, OptaCore):

  • ✅ Fully commercial-friendly (MIT/Apache-2.0)
  • ✅ Can be closed-source
  • ✅ No disclosure requirements

See LICENSE.md for detailed scenarios.

Do I need to contribute my changes back?

Legally required:

  • ❌ No, you don't have to contribute upstream
  • ✅ But if you deploy over a network, you must provide source to users

Encouraged but optional:

  • We welcome contributions to OptaFly_Zed!
  • Upstream Zed contributions require signing the Zed CLA
  • OptaFly-specific improvements can be PRs to our repo

Community benefits: Contributions help everyone, reduce maintenance burden, and build reputation.

OptaCore Architecture Engine

What is OptaCore and when should I use it?

OptaCore is a tensor-based architecture modeling engine for visualizing and analyzing software architectures.

Use OptaCore when you need to:

  • Visualize C4 architecture diagrams
  • Detect anti-patterns (cycles, bottlenecks, over-coupling)
  • Optimize diagram layouts automatically
  • Export to Graphviz DOT format
  • Integrate with Structurizr via JNI

Quick start:

cargo build --release --package optacore_jni
# See crates/optacore_jni/QUICKSTART.md for Java integration
How does OptaCore compare to Structurizr?

OptaCore complements Structurizr:

Feature Structurizr OptaCore
DSL Parsing Full support MVP regex-based
Layout Engine Manual/auto Force-directed (Fruchterman-Reingold)
Anti-Patterns No Yes (cycles, bottlenecks)
Export Formats PlantUML, WebView Graphviz DOT
Language Java/Kotlin Rust (JNI bridge available)
GPU Acceleration No Planned (WGPU)

Best approach: Use Structurizr for authoring, OptaCore for optimization and analysis.
