---ci--- phase: 4 milestone: v0.1 status: execute persona: ci-lead-developer task: T-4.2 requirements: covered: [REQ-52] partial: [] ---/ci--- UAT variant now resolves the milestone branch by milestone number (v0.1) not full tag version (v0.1.4), matching branch-strategy labeling. DEPLOY_KEY (path in .env.secrets) preferred over passwords — survives sshd PermitRootLogin prohibit-password (Ubuntu 24.04 default that rejects root password auth; observed on the LXC host). Deployed v0.1.4-uat for manual UAT: http://10.0.0.114:3000.
ResearchX
A deep-research studio where you bring your own model, storage, and memory; choose a research methodology before a single query fires; and every claim in the final report is anchored to a visited, verified, quotable source.
Status: prototype (milestone v0.1) — UI/UX with mock data. No backend, no API keys, no network calls.
Quickstart
cd frontend
pnpm install
pnpm dev
Open http://localhost:3000 — you land on Ask. Type a question, click Research this, pick a methodology on Choose (Deep Report is the recommended default), and press Start research.
Three clicks from cold start to initiated research.
What's in the prototype
| Screen | What it does |
|---|---|
/ask |
One question box + one optional context box. Nothing else competing for attention. |
/choose |
All 8 locked methodology cards — mock ETA, cost estimate, why-recommended, and the 12 methodology dials behind each card's Advanced drawer. |
/run/[id] |
Plan & Run: approve the research plan (sub-questions, source universe, outline), watch the live trace stream, pause/resume or cancel. |
/run/[id]/report |
Reading Room: the report with page-anchored citations — hover or focus any [n] marker for the exact quoted passage — plus the citation ledger and Markdown/JSON exports. |
/library |
v2 preview: project graph and task inbox mockups rendered from fixture data. |
All data flows through a typed ApiClient interface backed by MockApiClient — the same components will talk to the FastAPI backend via the OpenAPI-generated client in the MVP milestone, with zero rewrites.

Milestone v0.2 (MVP: FastAPI backend, research engine, adapter layer, trust loop) begins only after this prototype is approved.
