Onboarding + Config Protocol

Purpose: shared onboarding + config surfaces across CLI, macOS app, and Web UI.

Components

  • Wizard engine (shared session + prompts + onboarding state).
  • CLI onboarding uses the same wizard flow as the UI clients.
  • Gateway RPC exposes wizard + config schema endpoints.
  • macOS onboarding uses the wizard step model.
  • Web UI renders config forms from JSON Schema + UI hints.

Gateway RPC

  • wizard.start params: { mode?: "local"|"remote", workspace?: string }
  • wizard.next params: { sessionId, answer?: { stepId, value? } }
  • wizard.cancel params: { sessionId }
  • wizard.status params: { sessionId }
  • config.schema params: {}
Responses (shape)
  • Wizard: { sessionId, done, step?, status?, error? }
  • Config schema: { schema, uiHints, version, generatedAt }

UI Hints

  • uiHints keyed by path; optional metadata (label/help/group/order/advanced/sensitive/placeholder).
  • Sensitive fields render as password inputs; no redaction layer.
  • Unsupported schema nodes fall back to the raw JSON editor.

Notes

  • This doc is the single place to track protocol refactors for onboarding/config.
