Waleed 8d7bbbc670 chore(utils): migrate to shared random/ID utilities and add enforcement linting (#4623)
* chore(utils): migrate to shared random/ID utilities and add enforcement linting

- Replace all Math.random(), crypto.randomUUID(), crypto.randomBytes(), nanoid, and uuid usages with shared @sim/utils/random and @sim/utils/id helpers across 72 files
- Add new @sim/utils exports: deepClone, omit, filterUndefined (object), truncate (string), backoffWithJitter, parseRetryAfter (retry), getErrorMessage (errors)
- Sweep all getErrorMessage, sleep, deepClone callsites across 500+ files to use shared utilities
- Add Biome noRestrictedImports rule to catch nanoid, uuid, and crypto named imports at lint time
- Add scripts/check-utils-enforcement.ts to catch Math.random and crypto.* global property access
- Add check:utils script to package.json

* chore(utils): replace deepClone wrapper with structuredClone built-in

deepClone() was a one-line wrapper around structuredClone(), which is
universally available in Node 17+ and all modern browsers. Removing the
abstraction reduces indirection and means contributors don't need to
learn a project-specific name for a well-known built-in.

- Remove deepClone from packages/utils/src/object.ts and index.ts
- Replace all 17 call sites with structuredClone() directly
- Update check:utils script suggestion text
- Update CLAUDE.md and global.md docs

* fix(utils): add missing biome noRestrictedImports rule and correct truncate docs

- Add noRestrictedImports to biome.json under style — bans nanoid and uuid
  package imports at lint time (crypto.randomUUID/randomBytes are caught by
  the check:utils grep script which handles global property access)
- Correct truncate() TSDoc and parameter name: sliceLength makes it clear
  that total output length is sliceLength + suffix.length, matching the
  behavior all callers were already written to expect

* fix(utils): add missing getErrorMessage imports at 4 call sites

The sweep agents added getErrorMessage calls without the corresponding
import in 4 files, causing test failures. Added the missing imports.

* fix(utils): fix build errors from getErrorMessage sweep and retry.ts Turbopack issue

- Fix retry.ts cross-file import: Turbopack cannot resolve './random.js' for
  internal package imports; inline the jitter crypto call directly
- Add missing getErrorMessage imports to 32 files where the sweep added calls
  without the corresponding import (caught by type-check and test runs)
- Remove accidental getErrorMessage import from crowdstrike/query/route.ts
  which has its own domain-specific getErrorMessage for parsing CrowdStrike's
  JSON error format
- Fix use-sub-block-value.ts type error from structuredClone narrowing:
  add 'as T' cast at emitValue callsite (safe — valueCopy is always a
  structural copy of newValue)

* fix(tools): use toError in crowdstrike catch block instead of local getErrorMessage

The catch block was calling the local getErrorMessage function which
parses CrowdStrike API JSON responses, not JavaScript Error objects.
Use toError(error).message to correctly extract the message from a
caught value in this context.

Quickstart

Cloud-hosted: sim.ai

Sim.ai

Self-hosted: NPM Package

npx simstudio

http://localhost:3000

Note

Docker must be installed and running on your machine.

Options

Flag Description
-p, --port <port> Port to run Sim on (default 3000)
--no-pull Skip pulling latest Docker images

Self-hosted: Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Open http://localhost:3000

Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM — see the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.

Self-hosted: Manual Setup

Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector

  1. Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare  # Set up pre-commit hooks
  1. Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17

Or install manually via the pgvector guide.

  1. Configure environment:
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
# Create your secrets
perl -i -pe "s/your_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_internal_api_secret/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_api_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
# DB configs for migration
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
  1. Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
  1. Start development servers:
bun run dev:full  # Starts Next.js app and realtime socket server

Or run separately: bun run dev (Next.js) and cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets (realtime).

Copilot API Keys

Copilot is a Sim-managed service. To use Copilot on a self-hosted instance:

  • Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Copilot and generate a Copilot API key
  • Set COPILOT_API_KEY environment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value

Environment Variables

See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
