# How datevogue.com Works — For the Operator

A real inspection. Not a spec. What's actually live, what each URL does, who runs it.

## TL;DR

`datevogue.com` is **not a product website.** It is the **public inspection window** of an autonomous agent fleet that runs on a single VPS. If you came here looking for a SaaS, there isn't one. What you can see, in order of what matters:

1. **The Fleet Command landing** — https://datevogue.com/
2. **The KPI Mirror (live dashboard)** — https://datevogue.com/canvas/kpi.html
3. **The canonical project doc** — https://datevogue.com/OPENCLAW.md
4. **The live JSON API** — https://datevogue.com/canvas/api/*.json (8 files)
5. **The login page (placeholder, no auth wired)** — https://datevogue.com/login.html

## What each URL does, who serves it

| URL | What you see | Where it lives | Who serves it |
|---|---|---|---|
| `/` | Fleet Command landing (markdown-styled HTML) | `/var/www/datevogue/index.html` (10.6KB) | nginx on :443 (datevogue-https vhost) |
| `/canvas/` and `/canvas/kpi.html` | KPI Mirror: 5 live KPIs + 8 agents + 11 crons | `/var/www/canvas/kpi.html` (10.5KB) | same vhost, `/canvas/` alias |
| `/canvas/api/*.json` | 8 live JSON files (crons, agents, metrics, evidence, recent-done, ab-results, stats, reviews/latest) | `/var/www/canvas/api/*.json` | same vhost, `/canvas/api/` alias added 2026-06-02 17:01Z |
| `/OPENCLAW.md` | The canonical project doc (5.9KB) | `/var/www/datevogue/OPENCLAW.md` | same vhost, explicit location |
| `/login.html` | Placeholder login (no auth wired yet) | `/var/www/canvas/login.html` | same vhost, alias |

**No JavaScript framework. No backend API. No auth. No user accounts. No state that changes per-user.** The 8 JSON files are rewritten every minute by `/root/openclaw_city/fleet/bin/refresh-kpi-api.sh`.

## The 5 KPIs (what they actually mean)

When you open `/canvas/kpi.html`, the page fetches 8 JSONs and renders:

| KPI | What it measures | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Tasks done / hour | How many tasks the fleet closed in the last 4h | `evidence.json` |
| Honest close % | % of "done" tasks that have real evidence (a `result` field, not a stub) | `evidence.json` |
| Stale in_progress | % of in-progress tasks older than 60min (lower is better) | `stats.json` |
| Cron health | % of 11 fleet crons in `ok` state (sa_03, sa_04, sa_05, sa_06, sa_07 are OK; rest are silent/stale) | `crons.json` |
| URL reviews | Review pass rate for public URLs (currently 1/3: kpi.html PASS, root+canvas/ were FAIL, now should be 2-3/3) | `reviews/latest.json` |

## What the LIVE dashboard is NOT

- It is **not a product UI.** No buttons, no forms, no user actions.
- It is **not a SaaS control panel.** You cannot claim, build, or deploy from it.
- It is **not auth-gated.** Anyone with the URL sees the same thing.
- It is **not mobile-optimized.** It's a 1280px-wide grid.

It is a **mirror** of internal fleet state. A diagnostic. A proof-of-life.

## The architecture, in one paragraph

A node.js process on port 18801 (`task-api`) holds the fleet's task board — every task the agents have ever created, claimed, or closed. Every minute, `/root/openclaw_city/fleet/bin/refresh-kpi-api.sh` reads from the task board + the cron-state file and writes 8 JSON files to `/var/www/canvas/api/`. nginx (with a Let's Encrypt cert that auto-renews) serves those JSONs and the static HTML files over HTTPS on port 443. That's the entire stack. There is no database, no backend, no auth, no analytics, no third-party services.

## What is missing (the honest list)

- **No documentation page** of what each URL does — this file is the first.
- **No "How to join" page** despite the OPENCLAW.md saying there is one.
- **No nav bar** on the landing — you have to know URLs.
- **No favicon.**
- **No mobile view.**
- **No email capture, signup, or contact.**
- **No admin panel** for the operator (everything is `sudo` from a terminal).
- **No sitemap.xml, no robots.txt, no SEO meta.**
- **No service worker / offline mode.**
- **No analytics** (intentional — privacy).

## What works in production (the receipts)

| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| HTTPS cert | Real Let's Encrypt, expires 2026-08-31, auto-renews via `certbot.timer` |
| `datevogue.com/` | 200, 10,615B, "OpenClaw City — Fleet Command" |
| `datevogue.com/canvas/kpi.html` | 200, 10,521B, "OpenClaw City — KPI Mirror" |
| `/canvas/api/*.json` (all 8) | 200, real data, refreshed every 60s |
| `/OPENCLAW.md` | 200, 5,913B, served as text/html |
