ws_webui.py DOX

Purpose

• Own the ws_webui.py API endpoint.
• This module owns the primary WebUI WebSocket namespace and event bridge.
• Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with ws_webui.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

• ws_webui.py owns the runtime implementation.
• ws_webui.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.
• Classes:
• WsWebui (WsHandler)
  • async on_connect(self, sid: str) -> None
  • async on_disconnect(self, sid: str) -> None
  • async process(self, event: str, data: dict, sid: str) -> dict | None

Runtime Contracts

• HTTP handlers must derive from helpers.api.ApiHandler; WebSocket handlers must derive from helpers.ws.WsHandler.
• Update this file whenever request payloads, authentication or CSRF requirements, response shapes, route side effects, or WebSocket event contracts change.
• WsWebui is a WsHandler.
• WsWebui defines process(...).
• Observed side-effect areas: network calls, WebSocket state, settings/state persistence.
• Imported dependency areas include: helpers, helpers.ws.

Key Concepts

• Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: extension.call_extensions_async.
• Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes.

Work Guidance

• Preserve authentication, CSRF, loopback, and API-key checks unless the endpoint contract explicitly changes.
• Update frontend callers, plugin callers, and tests together when payload shape changes.
• Use helpers.api.Response for non-JSON responses, files, redirects, or status-specific replies.

Verification

• Run endpoint-specific or API/WebSocket tests for changed behavior; smoke-test browser callers when no focused test exists.
• Related tests observed by source search:
  • tests/test_state_sync_handler.py
  • tests/test_state_sync_welcome_screen.py
  • tests/test_ws_handlers.py
