Implemented a complete web interface for RetroChat with the following features:

Backend (Rust/Axum)

  • RESTful API endpoints for sessions, search, and health check
  • Session listing with pagination, filtering, and sorting
  • Session detail view with full message history
  • Full-text search across messages
  • Static file serving for frontend assets

Frontend (Vanilla JS/HTML/CSS)

  • Professional dark theme inspired by Linear/GitHub/Vercel
  • Sessions browser with real-time filtering and sorting
  • Message search with highlighted results
  • Session detail modal with message timeline
  • Provider-specific color coding (Claude: orange, Gemini: blue, Cursor: light blue, Codex: white)
  • File path display for each session
  • Responsive design for mobile and desktop

Dependencies

  • Added axum 0.7 for web framework
  • Added tower 0.4 for middleware
  • Added tower-http 0.5 for CORS and static file serving
  • Added mime_guess 2.0 for static file MIME types

CLI Integration

  • New 'web' subcommand: retrochat web [--port PORT] [--host HOST] [--open]
  • Auto-open browser functionality with --open flag
  • Default port 3000, configurable via --port

Documentation

  • Added project_path_extraction.md analyzing how to extract project paths from each provider

Add project_path field to chat_sessions to store the full working directory path where each session was executed, complementing the existing project_name field.

Implementation:
- Add project_path column to chat_sessions table with index
- Extract paths from provider-specific data sources:
  - Codex: Direct from session_meta.cwd field
  - Cursor: Infer from .cursor/chats/{hash}/{uuid}/store.db file structure
  - Claude Code: Frequency-based selection from message-level cwd fields
  - Gemini: Fallback extraction from thoughts (with Rainbow Table support planned)
- Add Rainbow Table for hash-to-path mapping (Gemini support)
- Display project_path in Web UI session detail view

Tests:
- Add 7 comprehensive parser tests covering happy paths and edge cases
- All existing tests pass with model updates

Dependencies:
- Add sha2 for Rainbow Table hashing
- Add regex for Gemini path extraction

Changed the default port to avoid conflicts with commonly used ports.
Port 7878 is less commonly used and reduces collision risk.

- URL-based routing with query parameters (?tab=timeline)
- Time range picker with quick filters (1h, 12h, today, yesterday, 7d, 30d)
- Compact/Full display modes
- Character and token count display (~4 chars = 1 token)
- Copy All and Export JSONL functionality
