python3 -m pytest -q # 342 tests, no network, no tmux server of their ownThe tests never touch tmux's default socket. Neither should anything else you run against this code: a tmux server that dies takes every session on it with it, which is how this repository learned the rule the hard way.
The tooling, since a folder of unexplained scripts is worse than no folder:
scripts/openapi.py |
rewrites docs/openapi.json from the code. The test suite runs it with --check and fails if the published description has drifted, so this one is not optional. |
scripts/demo.py |
builds the instance every screenshot and clip is made from — fabricated sessions, fabricated files, on its own tmux socket. It exists so the pictures can be remade when the interface moves, and so that "none of this is a real machine" is something you can verify rather than take on trust. |
scripts/orchestra.py, scripts/referee.py, scripts/fullstack.py
|
three worked orchestrators, each run against real tmux before being committed — see Orchestrating several agents |
tools/argus_client.py, tools/argus-say
|
the Python client the orchestrators import, and a command-line front door onto it. Standard library only, one file, no package — see An agent driving Argus. |
scripts/record.mjs |
drives a Chromium over the debugging protocol to record those clips, from the demo instance. |
