wenjie 0499cdab72 build: use WEB_GO for web targets and preserve backend dist directory (#1671)
Separate web Go commands from the default Go toolchain so web builds,
tests, and vet can enable CGO on Darwin without affecting the rest of
the project. Also ensure frontend backend builds recreate backend/dist
with a .gitkeep file so the embedded output directory remains tracked.

Picoclaw Web

This directory contains the standalone web service for picoclaw. It provides a complete unified web interface, acting as a dashboard, configuration center, and interactive console (channel client) for the core picoclaw engine.

Architecture

The service is structured as a monorepo containing both the backend and frontend code to ensure high cohesion and simplify deployment.

  • backend/: The Go-based web server. It provides RESTful APIs, manages WebSocket connections for chat, and handles the lifecycle of the picoclaw process. It eventually embeds the compiled frontend assets into a single executable.
  • frontend/: The Vite + React + TanStack Router single-page application (SPA). It provides the interactive user interface.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Go 1.25+
  • Node.js 20+ with pnpm

Development

Run both the frontend dev server and the Go backend simultaneously:

make dev

Or run them separately:

make dev-frontend   # Vite dev server
make dev-backend    # Go backend

Build

Build the frontend and embed it into a single Go binary:

make build

The output binary is backend/picoclaw-web.

Other Commands

make test    # Run backend tests and frontend lint
make lint    # Run go vet and prettier/eslint
make clean   # Remove all build artifacts
