Service Console Enhancement Implementation Plan
For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (
- [ ]) syntax for tracking.
Goal: Add auto-connect on page load and a settings panel to sg_claw_service_console.html, with config save via WebSocket to the sgClaw service.
Architecture: The HTML page auto-connects on load and provides a settings modal. When user saves, the page sends an update_config WebSocket message. The Rust service receives it, merges with existing config, writes to sgclaw_config.json, and responds.
Tech Stack: Rust (serde, tungstenite), vanilla JavaScript/HTML/CSS
Task 1: Add UpdateConfig and ConfigUpdated protocol types
Files:
-
Modify:
src/service/protocol.rs -
Step 1: Add
ConfigUpdatePayloadstruct andUpdateConfigvariant toClientMessage
Add this struct above the ClientMessage enum, and add the UpdateConfig variant to the enum:
use std::path::PathBuf;
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct ConfigUpdatePayload {
#[serde(rename = "apiKey", default)]
pub api_key: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "baseUrl", default)]
pub base_url: Option<String>,
#[serde(default)]
pub model: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "skillsDir", default)]
pub skills_dir: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "directSubmitSkill", default)]
pub direct_submit_skill: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "runtimeProfile", default)]
pub runtime_profile: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "browserBackend", default)]
pub browser_backend: Option<String>,
}
Add UpdateConfig variant to ClientMessage enum (after Ping):
UpdateConfig {
config: ConfigUpdatePayload,
},
- Step 2: Add
ConfigUpdatedvariant toServiceMessage
Add after Pong:
ConfigUpdated {
success: bool,
message: String,
},
- Step 3: Update
into_submit_task_requestto handleUpdateConfig
In the match arm, add ClientMessage::UpdateConfig { .. } to the list that returns None:
ClientMessage::Connect
| ClientMessage::Start
| ClientMessage::Stop
| ClientMessage::Ping
| ClientMessage::UpdateConfig { .. } => None,
- Step 4: Run tests to verify protocol compiles
Run: cargo test --lib service::protocol
Expected: PASS (no protocol-specific tests yet, but it should compile)
Task 2: Add config_path() getter to AgentRuntimeContext
Files:
-
Modify:
src/agent/task_runner.rs -
Step 1: Add public getter method
In the impl AgentRuntimeContext block, add after load_sgclaw_settings():
pub fn config_path(&self) -> Option<&Path> {
self.config_path.as_deref()
}
Add the import at the top of the file if not present:
use std::path::Path;
- Step 2: Run tests to verify
Run: cargo test agent::task_runner
Expected: PASS
Task 3: Add save_to_path() method to SgClawSettings
Files:
-
Modify:
src/config/settings.rs -
Step 1: Add Serialize derive to SgClawSettings and related types
The RawSgClawSettings struct uses Deserialize only. We need to add Serialize to SgClawSettings for writing. Add use serde::Serialize; at the top.
Add Serialize derive to SgClawSettings:
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize)]
pub struct SgClawSettings {
But wait - SgClawSettings has enum fields (RuntimeProfile, SkillsPromptMode, PlannerMode, BrowserBackend, OfficeBackend) that don't implement Serialize. We need to add Serialize derives to those types too.
Instead, the simpler approach is to write a to_raw() method that converts SgClawSettings to a serializable struct, then serialize that.
- Step 2: Create serializable raw config struct
Add a new struct at the bottom of the file (before tests if any):
#[derive(Debug, Serialize)]
struct SerializableRawSgClawSettings {
#[serde(rename = "apiKey")]
api_key: String,
#[serde(rename = "baseUrl")]
base_url: String,
model: String,
#[serde(rename = "skillsDir", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
skills_dir: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "directSubmitSkill", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
direct_submit_skill: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "skillsPromptMode", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
skills_prompt_mode: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "runtimeProfile", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
runtime_profile: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "plannerMode", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
planner_mode: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "activeProvider", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
active_provider: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "browserBackend", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
browser_backend: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "officeBackend", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
office_backend: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "browserWsUrl", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
browser_ws_url: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "serviceWsListenAddr", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
service_ws_listen_addr: Option<String>,
#[serde(default)]
providers: Vec<SerializableProviderSettings>,
}
#[derive(Debug, Serialize)]
struct SerializableProviderSettings {
id: String,
provider: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "apiKey")]
api_key: String,
#[serde(rename = "baseUrl", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
base_url: Option<String>,
model: String,
#[serde(rename = "apiPath", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
api_path: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "wireApi", skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
wire_api: Option<String>,
#[serde(rename = "requiresOpenaiAuth")]
requires_openai_auth: bool,
}
Add use serde::Serialize; at the top of the file (combine with existing use serde::Deserialize;):
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
- Step 3: Add
to_serializable()method toSgClawSettings
In the impl SgClawSettings block, add:
fn to_serializable(&self) -> SerializableRawSgClawSettings {
let format_enum_value = |s: &str| s.to_string();
SerializableRawSgClawSettings {
api_key: self.provider_api_key.clone(),
base_url: self.provider_base_url.clone(),
model: self.provider_model.clone(),
skills_dir: self.skills_dir.as_ref().map(|p| p.to_string_lossy().into_owned()),
direct_submit_skill: self.direct_submit_skill.clone(),
skills_prompt_mode: Some(format_enum_value(match self.skills_prompt_mode {
SkillsPromptMode::Full => "full",
SkillsPromptMode::Compact => "compact",
})),
runtime_profile: Some(format_enum_value(match self.runtime_profile {
RuntimeProfile::BrowserAttached => "browser-attached",
RuntimeProfile::BrowserHeavy => "browser-heavy",
RuntimeProfile::GeneralAssistant => "general-assistant",
})),
planner_mode: Some(format_enum_value(match self.planner_mode {
PlannerMode::ZeroclawPlanFirst => "zeroclaw-plan-first",
PlannerMode::LegacyDeterministic => "legacy-deterministic",
})),
active_provider: Some(self.active_provider.clone()),
browser_backend: Some(format_enum_value(match self.browser_backend {
BrowserBackend::SuperRpa => "super-rpa",
BrowserBackend::AgentBrowser => "agent-browser",
BrowserBackend::RustNative => "rust-native",
BrowserBackend::ComputerUse => "computer-use",
BrowserBackend::Auto => "auto",
})),
office_backend: Some(format_enum_value(match self.office_backend {
OfficeBackend::OpenXml => "openxml",
OfficeBackend::Disabled => "disabled",
})),
browser_ws_url: self.browser_ws_url.clone(),
service_ws_listen_addr: self.service_ws_listen_addr.clone(),
providers: self
.providers
.iter()
.map(|p| SerializableProviderSettings {
id: p.id.clone(),
provider: Some(p.provider.clone()),
api_key: p.api_key.clone(),
base_url: p.base_url.clone(),
model: p.model.clone(),
api_path: p.api_path.clone(),
wire_api: p.wire_api.clone(),
requires_openai_auth: p.requires_openai_auth,
})
.collect(),
}
}
- Step 4: Add
save_to_path()method
In the same impl SgClawSettings block, add:
pub fn save_to_path(&self, path: &Path) -> Result<(), ConfigError> {
let serializable = self.to_serializable();
let json = serde_json::to_string_pretty(&serializable)
.map_err(|err| ConfigError::ConfigParse(path.to_path_buf(), err.to_string()))?;
std::fs::write(path, json)
.map_err(|err| ConfigError::ConfigRead(path.to_path_buf(), err.to_string()))
}
- Step 5: Run tests to verify compilation
Run: cargo test --lib config::settings
Expected: PASS
Task 4: Handle UpdateConfig in the service server
Files:
-
Modify:
src/service/server.rs -
Modify:
src/service/mod.rs(if needed for imports) -
Step 1: Add
UpdateConfigmatch arm inserve_client
In the match message block in serve_client, after the SubmitTask arm, add:
ClientMessage::UpdateConfig { config } => {
let Some(config_path) = context.config_path() else {
sink.send_service_message(ServiceMessage::ConfigUpdated {
success: false,
message: "未找到配置文件路径。请通过 --config-path 参数启动 sg_claw 后再使用此功能。".to_string(),
})?;
continue;
};
if !config_path.exists() {
sink.send_service_message(ServiceMessage::ConfigUpdated {
success: false,
message: format!("配置文件不存在: {}", config_path.display()),
})?;
continue;
}
let result = update_config_file(config_path, config);
match result {
Ok(()) => {
sink.send_service_message(ServiceMessage::ConfigUpdated {
success: true,
message: "配置已保存。重启 sg_claw 以应用新配置。".to_string(),
})?;
}
Err(err) => {
sink.send_service_message(ServiceMessage::ConfigUpdated {
success: false,
message: format!("保存配置失败: {}", err),
})?;
}
}
}
- Step 2: Add
update_config_filehelper function
Add this function above serve_client in server.rs:
use crate::config::settings::{ConfigError, SgClawSettings};
use crate::service::protocol::ConfigUpdatePayload;
use std::path::Path;
fn update_config_file(config_path: &Path, config: ConfigUpdatePayload) -> Result<(), String> {
let mut settings = SgClawSettings::load(Some(config_path))
.map_err(|e| e.to_string())?
.ok_or_else(|| "无法读取现有配置".to_string())?;
if let Some(v) = config.api_key {
settings.provider_api_key = v;
}
if let Some(v) = config.base_url {
settings.provider_base_url = v;
}
if let Some(v) = config.model {
settings.provider_model = v;
}
if let Some(v) = config.skills_dir {
settings.skills_dir = Some(PathBuf::from(&v));
}
if let Some(v) = config.direct_submit_skill {
settings.direct_submit_skill = Some(v);
}
if let Some(v) = config.runtime_profile {
settings.runtime_profile = match v.as_str() {
"browser-attached" => crate::config::settings::RuntimeProfile::BrowserAttached,
"browser-heavy" => crate::config::settings::RuntimeProfile::BrowserHeavy,
"general-assistant" => crate::config::settings::RuntimeProfile::GeneralAssistant,
_ => return Err(format!("无效的 runtimeProfile: {}", v)),
};
}
if let Some(v) = config.browser_backend {
settings.browser_backend = match v.as_str() {
"super-rpa" => crate::config::settings::BrowserBackend::SuperRpa,
"agent-browser" => crate::config::settings::BrowserBackend::AgentBrowser,
"rust-native" => crate::config::settings::BrowserBackend::RustNative,
"computer-use" => crate::config::settings::BrowserBackend::ComputerUse,
"auto" => crate::config::settings::BrowserBackend::Auto,
_ => return Err(format!("无效的 browserBackend: {}", v)),
};
}
settings
.save_to_path(config_path)
.map_err(|e| format!("写入配置文件失败: {}", e))
}
Add the import at the top of server.rs:
use std::path::PathBuf;
- Step 3: Run tests to verify compilation
Run: cargo build
Expected: SUCCESS
Task 5: Add auto-connect and settings UI to the service console HTML
Files:
-
Modify:
frontend/service-console/sg_claw_service_console.html -
Step 1: Add auto-connect on page load
At the very end of the <script> section, after the existing event listeners and updateUiState(), add:
// Auto-connect on page load
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
connectOrDisconnectService(true);
});
- Step 2: Add Settings button HTML
In the sidebar section of the HTML, after the connect button and before the "Composer" section label, add:
<button id="settingsBtn" class="ghost-btn" style="margin-top: 8px;">⚙ 设置</button>
- Step 3: Add Settings modal HTML
Before the closing </body> tag, add the modal HTML:
<!-- Settings Modal -->
<div id="settingsModal" style="display: none; position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5); z-index: 1000; align-items: center; justify-content: center;">
<div style="background: var(--panel); border-radius: 20px; padding: 28px; width: min(520px, 90%); max-height: 85vh; overflow-y: auto; box-shadow: var(--shadow);">
<h3 style="margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 1.2rem;">sgClaw 配置</h3>
<div class="field">
<label for="settingApiKey">API 密钥 *</label>
<input id="settingApiKey" type="password" placeholder="输入模型 API 密钥" />
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="settingBaseUrl">模型服务地址 *</label>
<input id="settingBaseUrl" type="url" placeholder="例如:https://api.deepseek.com" />
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="settingModel">模型名称 *</label>
<input id="settingModel" type="text" placeholder="例如:deepseek-chat" />
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="settingSkillsDir">Skills 目录路径</label>
<input id="settingSkillsDir" type="text" placeholder="例如:D:/data/ideaSpace/rust/sgClaw/claw/claw/skills/skill_staging/skills" />

</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="settingRuntimeProfile">运行模式</label>
<select id="settingRuntimeProfile" style="width: 100%; border: 1px solid var(--line); border-radius: 16px; padding: 14px 16px; background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.92); color: var(--text); font: inherit;">
<option value="browser-attached">browser-attached</option>

</div>
<div id="settingsValidation" style="color: var(--error); font-size: 0.92rem; min-height: 1.4em; margin: 10px 0;"></div>
<div style="display: flex; gap: 12px; margin-top: 16px;">
<button id="settingsSaveBtn" class="primary-btn" style="flex: 1;">保存</button>
<button id="settingsCancelBtn" class="ghost-btn" style="flex: 1;">取消</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
- Step 4: Add settings modal CSS
Add these CSS rules inside the <style> block, before the @media query:
/* Settings modal elements */
select {
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid var(--line);
border-radius: 16px;
padding: 14px 16px;
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.92);
color: var(--text);
font: inherit;
outline: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
select:focus {
border-color: rgba(15, 118, 110, 0.5);
box-shadow: 0 0 0 4px rgba(15, 118, 110, 0.12);
}
- Step 5: Add settings modal JavaScript logic
Add this JavaScript at the end of the <script> section, before the closing </script> tag:
// Settings modal state
const settingsElements = {
modal: document.getElementById("settingsModal"),
apiKey: document.getElementById("settingApiKey"),
baseUrl: document.getElementById("settingBaseUrl"),
model: document.getElementById("settingModel"),
skillsDir: document.getElementById("settingSkillsDir"),
directSubmitSkill: document.getElementById("settingDirectSubmitSkill"),
runtimeProfile: document.getElementById("settingRuntimeProfile"),
browserBackend: document.getElementById("settingBrowserBackend"),
validation: document.getElementById("settingsValidation"),
saveBtn: document.getElementById("settingsSaveBtn"),
cancelBtn: document.getElementById("settingsCancelBtn"),
};
let settingsOpenBtn = null; // will be set below
function openSettingsModal() {
// Pre-fill with current values from wsUrl field (for baseUrl hint)
settingsElements.apiKey.value = "";
settingsElements.baseUrl.value = "";
settingsElements.model.value = "";
settingsElements.skillsDir.value = "";
settingsElements.directSubmitSkill.value = "";
settingsElements.runtimeProfile.value = "browser-attached";
settingsElements.browserBackend.value = "super-rpa";
settingsElements.validation.textContent = "";
settingsElements.modal.style.display = "flex";
}
function closeSettingsModal() {
settingsElements.modal.style.display = "none";
}
function validateSettings() {
const apiKey = settingsElements.apiKey.value.trim();
const baseUrl = settingsElements.baseUrl.value.trim();
const model = settingsElements.model.value.trim();
if (!apiKey) {
return "API 密钥不能为空";
}
if (!model) {
return "模型名称不能为空";
}
if (!baseUrl) {
return "模型服务地址不能为空";
}
try {
new URL(baseUrl);
} catch {
return "模型服务地址格式无效,请输入有效的 URL";
}
return "";
}
function saveSettings() {
const error = validateSettings();
if (error) {
settingsElements.validation.textContent = error;
return;
}
if (!socket || socket.readyState !== WebSocket.OPEN) {
settingsElements.validation.textContent = "请先连接服务";
return;
}
settingsElements.validation.textContent = "";
settingsElements.saveBtn.disabled = true;
settingsElements.saveBtn.textContent = "保存中...";
const config = {
apiKey: settingsElements.apiKey.value.trim(),
baseUrl: settingsElements.baseUrl.value.trim(),
model: settingsElements.model.value.trim(),
};
const skillsDir = settingsElements.skillsDir.value.trim();
if (skillsDir) config.skillsDir = skillsDir;
const directSubmitSkill = settingsElements.directSubmitSkill.value.trim();
if (directSubmitSkill) config.directSubmitSkill = directSubmitSkill;
config.runtimeProfile = settingsElements.runtimeProfile.value;
config.browserBackend = settingsElements.browserBackend.value;
socket.send(JSON.stringify({
type: "update_config",
config,
}));
}
function handleConfigResponse(message) {
settingsElements.saveBtn.disabled = false;
settingsElements.saveBtn.textContent = "保存";
if (message.success) {
settingsElements.validation.textContent = message.message;
settingsElements.validation.style.color = "var(--success)";
// Auto-close after 2 seconds on success
setTimeout(closeSettingsModal, 2000);
} else {
settingsElements.validation.textContent = message.message;
settingsElements.validation.style.color = "var(--error)";
}
}
// Event listeners for settings
settingsOpenBtn = document.getElementById("settingsBtn");
settingsOpenBtn.addEventListener("click", openSettingsModal);
settingsElements.cancelBtn.addEventListener("click", closeSettingsModal);
settingsElements.saveBtn.addEventListener("click", saveSettings);
// Close modal on background click
settingsElements.modal.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
if (e.target === settingsElements.modal) {
closeSettingsModal();
}
});
- Step 6: Handle
config_updatedmessage inhandleMessage
In the existing handleMessage function, add a new case in the switch statement:
case "config_updated":
handleConfigResponse(message);
break;
- Step 7: Verify the HTML is well-formed
Open the file in a browser and visually check that:
- The settings button appears below the connect button
- Clicking it opens the modal
- The modal closes on Cancel or background click
Task 6: Add protocol tests for new message types
Files:
-
Modify:
tests/service_console_html_test.rs -
Create:
tests/service_protocol_update_config_test.rs -
Step 1: Create protocol serialization test
Create tests/service_protocol_update_config_test.rs:
use sgclaw::service::protocol::{ClientMessage, ConfigUpdatePayload, ServiceMessage};
#[test]
fn update_config_serializes_correctly() {
let config = ConfigUpdatePayload {
api_key: Some("test-key".to_string()),
base_url: Some("https://api.example.com".to_string()),
model: Some("test-model".to_string()),
skills_dir: Some("/path/to/skills".to_string()),
direct_submit_skill: Some("my-skill.my-tool".to_string()),
runtime_profile: Some("browser-attached".to_string()),
browser_backend: Some("super-rpa".to_string()),
};
let msg = ClientMessage::UpdateConfig { config };
let json = serde_json::to_string(&msg).unwrap();
assert!(json.contains("\"type\":\"update_config\""));
assert!(json.contains("\"apiKey\":\"test-key\""));
assert!(json.contains("\"baseUrl\":\"https://api.example.com\""));
assert!(json.contains("\"model\":\"test-model\""));
}
#[test]
fn update_config_deserializes_correctly() {
let json = r#"{
"type": "update_config",
"config": {
"apiKey": "key123",
"baseUrl": "https://api.test.com",
"model": "gpt-4"
}
}"#;
let msg: ClientMessage = serde_json::from_str(json).unwrap();
match msg {
ClientMessage::UpdateConfig { config } => {
assert_eq!(config.api_key, Some("key123".to_string()));
assert_eq!(config.base_url, Some("https://api.test.com".to_string()));
assert_eq!(config.model, Some("gpt-4".to_string()));
assert!(config.skills_dir.is_none());
}
_ => panic!("expected UpdateConfig variant"),
}
}
#[test]
fn config_updated_serializes_correctly() {
let msg = ServiceMessage::ConfigUpdated {
success: true,
message: "配置已保存".to_string(),
};
let json = serde_json::to_string(&msg).unwrap();
assert!(json.contains("\"type\":\"config_updated\""));
assert!(json.contains("\"success\":true"));
assert!(json.contains("配置已保存"));
}
#[test]
fn config_updated_deserializes_correctly() {
let json = r#"{"type":"config_updated","success":false,"message":"保存失败"}"#;
let msg: ServiceMessage = serde_json::from_str(json).unwrap();
match msg {
ServiceMessage::ConfigUpdated { success, message } => {
assert!(!success);
assert_eq!(message, "保存失败");
}
_ => panic!("expected ConfigUpdated variant"),
}
}
- Step 2: Update service console HTML test
Add to tests/service_console_html_test.rs, at the end of the existing test:
// New enhancement assertions
assert!(source.contains("DOMContentLoaded"));
assert!(source.contains("settingsBtn"));
assert!(source.contains("settingsModal"));
assert!(source.contains("update_config"));
assert!(source.contains("config_updated"));
assert!(source.contains("settingApiKey"));
assert!(source.contains("settingBaseUrl"));
assert!(source.contains("settingModel"));
- Step 3: Run all new tests
Run: cargo test --test service_protocol_update_config_test
Run: cargo test --test service_console_html_test
Expected: All PASS
Task 7: Full build and test verification
- Step 1: Run full test suite
Run: cargo test 2>&1
Expected: All tests pass (except pre-existing lineloss_period_resolver_prompts_for_missing_period which was already failing before our changes)
- Step 2: Build release binary
Run: cargo build --release 2>&1
Expected: SUCCESS
Task 8: Manual smoke test instructions
After implementation, verify manually:
- Start sg_claw with config path:
sg_claw.exe --config-path sgclaw_config.json - Open
sg_claw_service_console.htmlin browser - Verify: Page auto-connects (should show "已连接" within a few seconds)
- Click "设置" button
- Fill in API Key, Base URL, Model
- Click "保存"
- Verify: Modal shows "配置已保存。重启 sg_claw 以应用新配置。" and auto-closes after 2 seconds
- Verify:
sgclaw_config.jsonfile contains the new values - Verify: Existing task submission still works (send a test instruction)
