Waleed d60747d4b7 feat(mothership): draft persistence, new task eager creation, doc preview fix, and loading polish (#4361)
* feat(mothership): draft persistence, new task eager creation, doc preview fix, and loading polish

- Add `useMothershipDraftsStore` (persist) to save and restore draft text, file
  attachments, and contexts per chat scope key; cleared on workspace reset
- Add `useCreateTask` mutation that eagerly POSTs a new chat, optimistically
  prepends it to the sidebar task list, and navigates to `/task/:id` — removes
  the `id:'new'` placeholder pattern entirely
- Fix docx/pptx/pdf preview: remove `!isDocFormat` guards in
  `file-preview-adapter` so preview sessions are created and streaming content
  is set during agent writes, suppressing intermediate compilation errors
- Replace `Loader2` (lucide) with `Loader` (emcn) across auth, chat, knowledge,
  logs, deploy, and tool-input components; add `Clipboard` icon to emcn
- Add `EditorContextMenu` to the Monaco file viewer
- Expand Monaco `SIM_DARK` and `SIM_LIGHT` token rules with string.link,
  delimiter, tag, attribute, and Markdown tokens (strong, emphasis, variable)

* fix(files): dispose onContextMenu listener and handle clipboard rejection

* fix(tasks): clear workspaceId:new draft after eager task creation

* fix(user-input): always update prevDefaultValueRef on defaultValue change

Prevents stale ref when defaultValue transitions through empty — if
defaultValue goes non-empty → empty → same non-empty value, the ref
was not updated on the empty transition, causing setValue to be skipped
on the subsequent change.

Also removes unnecessary useCallback wrapping from handleSendQueuedHead,
handleEditQueued, handleEditQueuedTail in MothershipChat — none have a
reference observer (UserInput stores them via refs, QueuedMessages is
not React.memo-wrapped).

* fix(files): improve light mode number token contrast to 4.8x

* fix(tasks): annotate raw fetch in createChat for boundary check

* fix(tasks): use requestJson with createMothershipChatContract instead of raw fetch

* fix(cleanup): remove cancelQueries from onSuccess, remove redundant Scissors className

* fix(tasks): guard handleNewTask against concurrent calls via ref lock

* fix(drafts): guard save effect against first-render race that wipes file-only drafts

On mount the save effect fired before the restore effect's setState calls
propagated, so fileAttachments and contexts were still empty. For a draft
with files but no text this caused isEmpty() to return true and setDraft to
delete the entry. Added isFirstSaveRef to skip the initial run; the restore
triggers a re-render that fires the save with the full, correct payload.

* fix(files): only show loading skeleton while fetching, relax mongo auth validation

- files.tsx: gate loading skeleton on isLoading so navigating to a missing
  file ID doesn't permanently show the skeleton after load completes
- database-tools.ts: remove refine() pairing username+password on mongo
  connection schema so either field can be provided independently

* revert(database-tools): restore mongo username+password paired validation

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.
