Showcase: a Next.js 16 review desk for PR, CI, and fork-sync evidence

[AaronZ345]

I built Codebase Argus, a Next.js 16 review desk for three related maintainer workflows: pull request review, failing-CI diagnosis, and downstream fork sync checks.

The public GitHub Pages demo is a static export that can inspect public GitHub data in the browser. Local or server deployments unlock the API-backed pieces: private repositories, agent providers, webhook handling, and local git simulations such as merge-tree, rebase projection, cherry, and range-diff.

The latest pass simplified the screen around the three workflows, moved the useful report lanes ahead of advanced setup, and tightened the small-screen layout. It also fixed two hydration mismatches caused by reading window.location.origin and generating a timestamp during the initial render; both values now initialize after hydration, with server/browser markup regression tests.

For anyone interested in the full flow, there is a real public-PR case study and a separate GitHub Action.

I would welcome feedback on the static-demo boundary in particular: is it clear which capabilities work on GitHub Pages and which require a server or local checkout?

Hi @AaronZ345!

Great job on Codebase Argus! The focus on fixing hydration mismatches and optimizing small-screen layouts really polished the experience.

Regarding your feedback request on the static-demo boundary:

What works well: The distinction between public repository inspection (static/Pages) vs. agent/git-backed features (server/local) makes sense logically once read.

Suggestion for clarity: To make the boundary immediately clear to first-time visitors on the GitHub Pages demo, consider adding a small visual indicator or badge (e.g., ⚡ Static Mode (Public Repos Only)) in the header or sidebar with a tooltip/modal that lists feature availability (e.g., Public PR Review: Available | Merge-Tree / Rebase Projection: Requires Local/Server Deployment).

Awesome project, and thanks for sharing the case study and GitHub Action!

Thanks, this was a precise and useful suggestion. I have shipped it in 71922e7.

The GitHub Pages header now has a touch- and keyboard-accessible Static demo · Public repos only indicator with a capability matrix for public PR/fork inspection, local git projections, AI providers, and GitHub App/webhook features.

I also tightened the GitHub App boundary: Pages no longer presents a working webhook or allows manifest copying until a real deployed server URL is provided.

The updated demo is live: https://aaronz345.github.io/codebase-argus/

Appreciate the feedback!
