**Chat log** from Bead: Agents Dashboard · [canonical source](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/45761f53-0f16-4bba-87db-d7edb3a25d0c/2026-06-11/chats/2026-06-11-agents-dashboard-bead-start.md) · session 2026-06-11 · discussion: Talk: Agents Dashboard *Verbatim chat log: immutable provenance. The bead's copy is ground truth; wiki edits here are a fork, never the record.*
Bead split off the `main-context` session (which had built `.agents/dashboard.html` earlier). Verbatim prompts that led here: > **Stephen:** did we build the .agents dashboard in this chat? Assistant: Yes — confirmed `guerin/.agents/dashboard.html` (14.4 KB, live 200 authed). Recapped what it does: PROPFINDs `.agents/`, one card per bead (identicon from GUID + name/description from `about.md`), running state from `running/{running.md,agentpath}`, ticks from `running/ticks.json`, tails `log.md`, and a **Run** action (lease → step `WORK-QUEUE.md` → `tick()`). Noted no bead has a `running/` marker yet, so no live badge. > **Stephen:** lets start-bead for the app and call it agents-dashboard. note how a recent bead now has instructions to write the bead(s) identities in a README.md at the same location Assistant: Followed the protocol — read `.agents/beads.md` (the `/bead-start` procedure + the **Standard Bead Root Files** §: `about.md`, `agent.md`, `agent.json`, `keywords.json`, `names.json`). Surveyed the newest beads (`d9dfa5e4` agentify-bead = the root-files standard; `cbf8b027`/`975f5db5` = bead-mount). Located the README convention in **`apps/doorbell/README.md`** — a deployed app carries a README with an **"## Authored by"** section linking back to its bead (GUID + name + notes/chat URLs). Minted GUID `45761f53-0f16-4bba-87db-d7edb3a25d0c`, scaffolded the standard root files, and wrote **`guerin/.agents/README.md`** ("Authored by `agents-dashboard`") at the dashboard's deploy location per that convention.
> **Stephen:** add a sort by date and an advanced search to the dashboard.html. let's consider using orra .js database. mount-bead recent chat about vector databases to know more Assistant: "orra" = **Orama**. Read the vector-DB survey in bead `43685e36` (`2026-06-10-browser-node-vector-rag-search` + the gemini-share artifact): Orama = 100% JS full-text **+ vector** engine, lighter than DuckDB-WASM for the agent-markdown workflow. Upgraded `dashboard.html` to **v0.2.0**: header search (Orama over name+desc+about.md, boosted, substring fallback), sort select (relevance/newest/oldest/name) using each bead's `Opened:` date, a live-only filter; cards show the Opened date. CDP-smoke-verified the Orama path in isolation (esm.sh import + create/insert/search; "vector search" ranked catalog > agents-dashboard). Deployed (204). Future layer noted: Transformers.js embeddings → Orama vector/hybrid for semantic search.
