OPC Desktop Overview

The Off-Platform Compute (OPC) Desktop is the local cockpit where human developers and autonomous agents collaborate. It is located in product/apps/opc/.

Architecture​

The OPC application is built using Tauri v2, providing a lightweight, cross-platform native experience.

  • Frontend: Built with React and TypeScript (src/). It provides the user interface for inspecting projects, managing governance, and visualizing Factory pipelines.
  • Backend: Built with Rust (src-tauri/). It handles Tauri commands, state management, and hosts the axiomregent sidecar.

The Shared Execution Surface​

Unlike traditional IDEs where agents operate as isolated plugins, OPC is designed as a shared execution surface. Both the human and the agent operate within the same governed context.

The desktop provides several key panels:

  • Git Context: Native branch and status visualization.
  • Inspection (Xray): Semantic and structural analysis of the repository.
  • Governance: Displays the compiled registry summary and feature graph status, ensuring the developer is aware of the current spec compliance.
  • Factory Panel: Real-time visualization of the orchestration pipeline.
