Dashboard

Web UI → Dashboard is the landing page after login. It combines a real-data status strip with a decorative “living scene” overlay — the HUD — whose text content is itself pulled from real sessions, cron jobs, and channels.

Gateway banner

A banner across the top reflects the actual gateway state from /api/status (backed by systemctl is-active aios-gateway.service, not a state file the old Python gateway used to write). Offline shows a red accent and a aios gateway run hint; online shows a green accent and “Gateway Online — the messaging gateway is live and polling.”

Stat tiles

Four tiles, each backed by a real endpoint:

Tile	Source	Meaning
SESSIONS	/api/sessions/stats	total transcripts on record
SKILLS	/api/skills	reusable, verified skills installed
RUNTIME	/api/model/info	active model tier
MESSAGES	/api/sessions/stats	messages across all sessions

System events log

SYSTEM_EVENTS_LOG lists the 12 most recent sessions from /api/sessions — timestamp, active/finished status, session id, source, message count, and model. This is the same data the Sessions page shows in more detail.

Assistant HUD

The free canvas area behind the stat cards renders a 3D scene (a starfield canvas plus an animated sphere) that is purely decorative. Layered over it are glass HUD panels whose content is real:

• Typing bubble (top-center) — types out a rotating feed of real recent events assembled from /api/sessions, /api/cron/jobs, and /api/channels (e.g. “session telegram is active — 4 messages so far”, “cron job … last ran ok”). If nothing has happened yet it says so instead of inventing activity.
• Agent activity panel (bottom-left) — the 5 most recent sessions with a live-derived state (working / idle / waiting / done) computed from how long ago each session was last active.
• Three floating cards — anchored to fixed points around the 3D sphere, each round-robins through real session previews (source, message count, model). Dragging a card only moves its visual anchor; it does not change what data it shows.
• Query bar — sends whatever you type straight to the Chat page’s live agent connection, exactly as if you’d typed it there.

Sidebar and footer

The sidebar’s “System Active” label and the footer bar poll /api/status and /api/analytics/usage every ~10-15s: active-session badge next to Sessions, a gateway health dot on the System section, a spend-vs-budget bar if a monthly budget is configured, and gateway/session counts in the footer.
