Dashboard

The multi-instance dashboard lets you run 7+ CLI-JAW instances simultaneously and manage them from a single React-based UI. It includes notes, kanban board, schedule, reminders, settings, and memory federation.

Starting the Dashboard

jaw dashboard serve

This starts the manager server on port 24576 (default) and scans for CLI-JAW instances starting from port 3457.

Instance Management

The dashboard scans for running instances and displays them in a list. Each instance shows its port, status, active CLI, model, and working directory.

• Start: Launch a new CLI-JAW instance on an available port
• Stop: Gracefully shut down an instance
• Preview: Embed the instance's Web UI in the dashboard via iframe
• Permissions: Manage instance-level settings

Dashboard Tabs

Search and Filters

The instance list supports filtering by status, CLI type, and text search across instance metadata.

Memory Federation

The dashboard provides L2 cross-instance memory search. This fans out queries to all ~/.cli-jaw-* instance SQLite indexes.

# Search across all instances
jaw dashboard memory search "JWT authentication"

# List discovered instances
jaw dashboard memory instances

# Read from a specific instance
jaw dashboard memory read 3457:shared/decisions.md

Desktop Integration

In the Electron desktop app, the dashboard gains additional panels:

• Browser panel -- Webview-based browser with tab management
• Diff panel -- Git diff viewer backed by server API
