All 5 WebSocket endpoints (expand, spec, assistant, terminal, project)
were closing the connection before calling accept() when validation
failed. Starlette converts pre-accept close into an HTTP 403, giving
clients no meaningful error information.
Server changes:
- Move websocket.accept() before all validation checks in every WS handler
- Send JSON error message before closing so clients get actionable errors
- Fix validate_project_name usage (raises HTTPException, not returns bool)
- ConnectionManager.connect() no longer calls accept() (caller's job)
Client changes:
- All 3 WS hooks (useWebSocket, useExpandChat, useSpecChat) skip
reconnection on 4xxx close codes (application errors won't self-resolve)
- Gate expand button, keyboard shortcut, and modal on hasSpec
- Add hasSpec to useEffect dependency array to prevent stale closure
- Update keyboard shortcuts help text for E key context

Add a Node.js CLI wrapper that allows installing AutoForge globally via
`npm install -g autoforge-ai` and running it with a single `autoforge`
command. The CLI handles Python detection, venv management, config
loading, and uvicorn server lifecycle automatically.
New files:
- package.json: npm package config with bin entry, files whitelist,
and prepublishOnly script that builds the UI
- bin/autoforge.js: thin entry point that imports lib/cli.js
- lib/cli.js: main CLI module (~790 lines) with cross-platform Python
3.11+ detection, composite venv marker for smart invalidation
(requirements hash + Python version + path), .env config management
at ~/.autoforge/.env, server startup with PID file and port detection,
and signal handling with process tree cleanup
- requirements-prod.txt: runtime-only deps (excludes ruff, mypy, pytest)
- .npmignore: excludes dev files, tests, __pycache__, UI source
Modified files:
- ui/package.json: rename to autoforge-ui to avoid confusion with root
- .gitignore: add *.tgz for npm pack output
- README.md: add npm install as primary quick start method, document
CLI commands, add Ollama/Vertex AI config sections, new troubleshooting
entries for Python/venv issues
- GettingStarted.tsx: add Installation, Quick Start, and CLI Commands
sections to in-app documentation with command reference table
- docsData.ts: add installation and cli-commands sidebar entries
Published as autoforge-ai@0.1.0 on npm.
