Terminal Dashboard¶

The TUI is a Bloomberg-style quad-pane dashboard running over a Unix socket. Press ? for help. Here is what each pane does.

Launching the Dashboard¶

The TUI client attaches to the running daemon via Unix domain socket for zero-latency state projection.

# Start the daemon (production mode: live cloud APIs)
cs daemon --region us-east-1 &

# Attach the terminal dashboard
cs tui

Node data loads instantly. There is no loading animation.

Workspace Layout¶

The TUI organizes the interface into four workspaces. Each renders a quad-pane Bloomberg grid. Navigate between workspaces via numeric key bindings.

Key	Workspace	Quad Panes
`1`	Overview	Live Discovery · Context Inspector · Remediation · Engine Stats
`2`	Topology	Cross-Cloud Links · Link Detail · Egress Calculator · Topology Actions
`3`	s.a.u	Blocked & Quarantined · Live Audit Ledger · Override & Revert · Saga Timeline
`4`	Config	Cloud Integrations · AI Model · Engine Settings · Notifications

Workspace 1: Overview¶

Live Discovery Pane (Top-Left)¶

The primary node list renders all discovered infrastructure resources with provider badges, cost figures, and engine-computed verdicts.

PRV  RESOURCE ID                    TYPE           COST/MO  VERDICT    [412/10,000]
AWS  i-0abc123def456789             ec2:instance      $347  DELETE
GCP  gke-prod-cluster-01            gke:cluster       $890  RISK
AZR  vm-analytics-west              compute:vm        $156  FLAG
AWS  vol-0ghi789jkl012345           ebs:volume         $24  DELETE

Features:

Dynamic provider badges: Each provider gets a deterministic color from its name hash: AWS, GCP, K8s, PostgreSQL, any plugin.
Viewport scrolling: Navigate 10,000+ nodes instantly via j/k keys.
Row alternation: Subtle visual striping for readability.
Position indicator: [412/10,000] or [12/412 filtered] when a filter is active.

Engine Stats Pane (Bottom-Right)¶

Renders aggregate verdict distributions using proportional bar charts and cost sparkline visualizations.

Nodes: 10,000   Waste: $48,320   Blocks: 23

Context Inspector Pane (Top-Right)¶

Displays detailed inspection for the selected node. Covers identity, financial projections, engine verdicts, git blame provenance, and compliance status.

Remediation Pane (Bottom-Left)¶

Shows the active Terraform plan diff for the selected node. Supports [Y] Approve, [N] Reject, [D] Full Diff, [E] Edit operations.

Search and Filtering¶

Press Ctrl+F to activate the inline search bar. The filter matches against all resource attributes: ID, name, type, region, verdict, and provider. Results update live on every keystroke.

🔍 ec2 instance us-east|

Key	Action
`Ctrl+F`	Open filter search bar
typing	Live substring matching across all fields
`Enter`	Lock filter results and dismiss input
`Esc`	Clear filter and show all nodes

The status bar reflects filter state: 🔍 412/10,000 matched.

Category Workspace Filtering¶

Press C to cycle through registered plugin categories. This filters the entire node view to only show resources from providers in that category.

Category	Example Providers
`cloud`	AWS, GCP, Azure, Linode, DigitalOcean
`database`	PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis
`infrastructure`	Kubernetes, bare metal, network gear
`saas`	Slack, GitHub, Jira
`iot`	IoT fleets, edge devices, sensors
`devops`	CI/CD pipelines, container registries
`security`	IAM audit, vulnerability scanning

Categories are assigned by the registry maintainer, not by the plugin author. This prevents miscategorization. Press C repeatedly to cycle: ALL → cloud → database → infrastructure → ... → ALL.

The status bar shows the active filter: [CLOUD] or [DATABASE].

Key	Action
`Tab`	Cycle focus between quadrant panes
`z`	Zoom focused pane to fullscreen
`Esc`	Exit zoom / close sub-view
`j` / `k`	Navigate down / up in lists
`Enter`	Select node / confirm action
`/`	Open DEVI AI prompt bar
`q`	Quarantine selected node
`C`	Cycle category workspace filter
`Ctrl+C`	Quit

DEVI AI Prompt¶

Press / to invoke the natural language query engine. DEVI receives the current graph context and responds with infrastructure-aware analysis.

> Which EC2 instances in us-east-1 have been idle for over 90 days?

DEVI: Found 7 instances matching your criteria:
  i-0abc123 ($347/mo): 0% CPU for 142 days. Provenance: j.smith, commit abc1234f.
  ...

DEVI supports infrastructure queries, remediation previews, policy dry-runs, and plugin generation scaffolding.
