Eve Dashboard

Objective

Use EveCanvas as a native operator dashboard substrate: Mimir, StreamPixels, and other local/Yggdrasil-routed apps can publish retained dashboard trees while Eve renders the control surface locally and sends edit intents back. Eve does not own final composition or run remote UI code.

Authority Map

Owner: each dashboard provider owns its accepted state and command handling. The Starfire broker owns provider discovery/routing. EveCanvas owns native rendering, hit-testing, and touch affordances.
Inputs: Eve sends select, move, scale, rotate, toggle-visibility, reset-transform, and open-provider commands over /eve/deck.
Outputs: providers send dashboard-state snapshots with provider id, title, nodes, health, visibility, dimensions, transform, selected node, and LUT preset. Provider catalogs are exposed at /eve/deck/providers.
Derived state: Eve's UIKit panels are local render projections of Mimir state/provider state.
Forbidden writers: Eve gestures do not mutate program layout directly; they request changes and then re-render the accepted snapshot. Remote apps do not ship arbitrary JavaScript or native code into Eve.
Cut line: no camera-stream fanout to Eve for the dashboard. Source previews may be added later as thumbnails/proxies, but dashboard control must not require Starfire to render every camera feed for the iPad.
CultMesh line: dashboard manifests and states now have typed mimir.eve_dashboard_manifest.v1 and mimir.eve_dashboard_state.v1 document shapes. The live iPad lane remains WebSocket/TCP because it is the proven transport and works over SSH tunnels; CultMesh should mirror compact state where the local mesh substrate is available.

Runtime

Start the dashboard server:

dotnet run --project .\src\Mimir.EveDashboard\Mimir.EveDashboard.csproj -- --port 8795

EveCanvas connects to:

ws://192.168.1.66:8795/eve/deck

The compatibility endpoint remains:

ws://192.168.1.66:8795/eve/dashboard

Broker inspection endpoints:

http://192.168.1.66:8795/health
http://192.168.1.66:8795/eve/deck/manifest
http://192.168.1.66:8795/eve/deck/providers
ws://192.168.1.66:8795/eve/deck/{providerId}

Extra providers can be registered at launch:

dotnet run --project .\src\Mimir.EveDashboard\Mimir.EveDashboard.csproj -- `
  --port 8795 `
  --provider "app.id|App Title|ws://127.0.0.1:14000/eve/deck"

Current State

Mimir.EveDashboard now runs as a small native dashboard broker. It includes:

eve.dashboard.broker: the switchboard rendered as provider cards.
mimir.stream.layout: the existing Mimir source-layout fixture provider.
yggdrasil.streampixels.edge: the first Yggdrasil/StreamPixels service dashboard placeholder for the TCP/SSH-routed live edge.

The Mimir provider still serves fixture scene nodes for the first native control proof. It accepts transform/visibility commands, mutates the provider state, increments the state version, and broadcasts the new snapshot. The next cut is replacing fixture state with live MimirPresentationControlState and MimirSceneEditorState snapshots.

Verification

The command smoke connected to /eve/dashboard, received state version 1, sent:

{"type":"move","nodeId":"eve-camera","x":0.25,"y":-0.25}

and received state version 2 with eve-camera moved to that transform. During the same smoke, EveCanvas connected from 192.168.1.72 and remained running.

The first device screenshot proved the dashboard rendered on Eve, but also showed the legacy debug overlay occluding the hierarchy panel. EveCanvas hides that overlay while dashboard mode is active; dashboard status remains in the native dashboard footer.

The broker smoke on 2026-05-31 verified:

/health reports active provider, client count, transport, and typed CultMesh dashboard document name.
/eve/deck/providers returns the three built-in provider manifests.
WebSocket /eve/deck sends the switchboard snapshot.
open-provider switches to mimir.stream.layout and broadcasts that provider state.
