Ch∆In Studio

Desktop GUI client for the Ch∆In Platform hub. Tier-2 generic platform client per docs/architecture/client.md in the platform repo. Connects to a local or remote chain serve over gRPC / gRPC-Web.

Status: live product (v0.70+). Every page talks to the hub through chain_client_sdk; there is no mock data. End users launch Studio via chain studio, which downloads and verifies a prebuilt bundle from the release mirror (sha256 + signature) or rebuilds from source when a dev workspace is configured.

Pages

  1. Welcome — onboarding checklist, guided setup wizard, bundled documentation reader.
  2. Store — browse/search/install modules across multiple stores (pinned publisher keys, private sources, AI AskBar); installed modules live here as a filter.
  3. Flows — graph + text flow editor with a live Run tab (streamed step events, inline approvals). Editor ships as the chain_studio_flow_editor package.
  4. Audit — live event stream (StreamEvents) with filters, hash-chain verification, gated log reset.
  5. Approvals — pending system.approval@^0 reviews with approve / reject and payload disclosure.
  6. Doctor — diagnostics, daemon lifecycle, binary recovery.
  7. Föderation — satellite list, bootstrap-token enrolment, revocation.

Plus: settings dialog (System-AI, integrations/MCP/n8n, security, maintenance), Cmd+K palette, release-channel switcher.

Stack

  • Flutter 3.40+ (Desktop: macOS, Linux, Windows)
  • gRPC client via chain_client_sdk (sibling repo; pinned by relative path during development)
  • No external runtime dependencies; bundles its own Dart VM

Run locally

flutter run -d macos      # or -d linux / -d windows
flutter test

chain studio prefers a configured dev workspace and will flutter run from source when one resolves — see crates/chain_runtime_mgmt in the platform repo.

Repo placement

Published as fai/chain-studio on Forgejo (git.flemming.ai). The local directory follows the established fai_chain_* layout convention.

Why "Studio" and not "Stage"

"Stage" collided too easily with "staging environment" in developer English. "Studio" is the established industry pattern for creator-tools (Visual Studio, Android Studio, RStudio) and matches the GUI's audience of module developers, operators, and power users.
