ifURI / urirun work summary - 2026-06-20

This note summarizes the current cross-repository state after the latest urirun, connector, app and examples work.

Completed

• Standardized the public runtime name around urirun and moved current install/documentation links to if-uri/urirun.
• Added the preferred Python authoring style with @urirun.command(...), @urirun.shell(...) and urirun.connector(...), so connector packages can declare routes once and export registry-ready bindings.
• Split the ecosystem direction into a small runtime core plus installable connector packages, a public connector hub and the ifURI host/app layer.
• Built the PHP connector hub at connect.ifuri.com with connector pages, machine-readable manifests, search index, sitemap, llms.txt and one-line installers.
• Added and verified connector packages for HTTP checks, time tools and browser control, including registry generation and MCP/A2A projection checks.
• Added and verified connector packages for Planfile tasks, Domain Monitor / Namecheap DNS flows and SQLite host context, including fresh GitHub installs, registry generation, Docker smoke tests and MCP/A2A projection checks.
• Documented the user bootstrap path across get.ifuri.com, ifuri.com, connect.ifuri.com, if-uri/examples and the individual connector repositories.
• Integrated urirun concepts into the ifURI app through CLI/API runtime commands, task planning documentation and desktop GUI work.
• Improved the ifURI desktop service table layout so long URI routes stay readable in the GUI.
• Expanded if-uri/examples into numbered examples from JSON bindings through decorators, artifact scanning, transports, Docker flows, device mesh, full E2E and simple defaults.
• Rebuilt 11-novnc_lan_flow as a full Docker/noVNC demo where URI commands execute inside virtual desktops rather than on the host machine.
• Added a four-computer noVNC URI scenario:
• pc1 exposes notes routes,
• pc2 exposes orders routes,
• pc3 exposes reports routes,
• pc4 exposes monitor routes,
• all machines expose browser:// screenshot/open routes and log:// routes.
• Added CI coverage in if-uri/examples for the four-computer noVNC flow.

Verified

The latest noVNC example was verified with:

python3 -m py_compile computer/browser_node.py orchestrator/run_flow.py
make test
make test-full
docker compose config
python3 -m json.tool generated/registry.json

make test-full produced:

{
  "ok": true,
  "mode": "full",
  "steps": 16,
  "routes": 24,
  "screenshots": [
    "pc1-example.png",
    "pc2-ifuri.png",
    "pc3-example-org.png",
    "pc4-example-net.png"
  ]
}

The ifURI desktop GUI work was verified earlier with focused GUI smoke tests and the full non-e2e pytest suite in if-uri/app.

Remaining work

• Move host/app-specific modules out of the runtime core when the package split is ready.
• Add stable connector discovery/list/install commands to urirun itself.
• Move remaining compatibility runtime code for Planfile, Domain Monitor, Namecheap DNS and SQLite context fully out of urirun core after downstream users migrate to connector packages.
• Make the noVNC scenario launchable from ifURI App, not only from Make/Docker.
• Add browser-level UI tests for the noVNC dashboard once Playwright browsers are installed in CI.
• Pin Docker image tags in heavy examples for reproducible CI runs.
• Keep connector manifests, hub catalog entries and package versions synchronized through CI.
