CalliopeAI Plugin Integration Summary

Calliope Integration: This component is integrated into the Calliope AI platform. Some features and configurations may differ from the upstream project.

Issue Resolved ✅

The CalliopeAI WAIIDE Agent extension was being excluded from WAIIDE builds due to missing integration with the build process and CI/CD pipeline.

Root Cause Analysis

Original Problem

1. Missing Dependency: CalliopeAI Agent was expected at ../calliope-WAIIDE-agent (sibling directory)
2. CI/CD Gap: No mechanism to ensure the plugin was available in CI environments
3. Build Script Gap: Dockerfile wasn’t calling the extension build script
4. Vite.js Dependencies: Subdirectory dependencies weren’t being installed

Solution Implemented

1. Git Submodule Integration ✅

# Added CalliopeAI Agent as a git submodule
git submodule add git@github.com:calliopeai/calliope-WAIIDE-agent.git calliope-WAIIDE-agent

Benefits:

• ✅ Ensures CalliopeAI Agent is always available during builds
• ✅ Works consistently in local, CI, and production environments
• ✅ Version-controlled integration with specific commit references
• ✅ No dependency on external directory structure

2. Docker Build Integration ✅

Updated Dockerfile to:

• Copy the submodule to the build context
• Call the extension build script during Docker build
• Verify extensions are properly included with clear logging

# Copy CalliopeAI Agent submodule
COPY calliope-WAIIDE-agent /workspace/calliope-WAIIDE-agent

# Build and copy CalliopeAI extensions (Agent + Theme)
RUN if [ -f "/workspace/scripts/build-calliope-extensions.sh" ] && [ -d "/workspace/calliope-WAIIDE-agent" ]; then \
        echo "Building CalliopeAI extensions..."; \
        cd /workspace && \
        chmod +x scripts/build-calliope-extensions.sh && \
        ./scripts/build-calliope-extensions.sh; \
    else \
        echo "CalliopeAI Agent not available - copying theme only"; \
        cp -r /workspace/calliope-theme /workspace/WAIIDE/extensions/theme-pergamon; \
    fi

3. Enhanced Build Script ✅

Fixed scripts/build-calliope-extensions.sh to:

• Use local submodule path (./calliope-WAIIDE-agent) instead of sibling directory
• Install both main extension and webview dependencies
• Handle Vite.js build for the CalliopeAI Agent’s GUI
• Gracefully handle build warnings while ensuring core functionality works

# Install coder-gui dependencies if directory exists
if [ -d "coder-gui" ]; then
    print_info "Installing coder-gui dependencies..."
    cd coder-gui && npm install --silent && cd ..
fi

4. CI/CD Pipeline Updates ✅

Updated GitHub Actions workflows:

• Added automatic submodule initialization
• Ensured recursive submodule checkout
• Works for both regular builds and workflow dispatch

- name: Checkout WAIIDE
  uses: actions/checkout@v4
  with:
    submodules: 'recursive'
    token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

5. Main Build Script Enhancement ✅

Updated build.sh to:

• Automatically initialize submodules if missing
• Provide clear feedback about submodule status
• Maintain backwards compatibility

# Ensure submodules are initialized
if [ ! -f "calliope-WAIIDE-agent/package.json" ]; then
    print_info "Initializing submodules..."
    git submodule update --init --recursive
fi

Technical Resolution Details

Vite.js Import Error Fixed

Problem: Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package '@vitejs/plugin-react'

Solution: The CalliopeAI Agent has a coder-gui subdirectory with its own package.json containing Vite dependencies. We now:

1. Install main extension dependencies with npm install
2. Separately install coder-gui dependencies with cd coder-gui && npm install
3. Build both webpack (main extension) and vite (webview) components
4. Clean up development dependencies after build

Build Process Flow

1. Initialize submodules (if needed)
2. Install main extension dependencies
3. Install webview (coder-gui) dependencies  
4. Build webpack bundle (extension.js)
5. Build vite bundle (webview.js)
6. Copy extensions to WAIIDE directory
7. Clean up node_modules for size optimization

Verification Results ✅

Local Build Test

✅ Webpack build: extension.js (1.21 MB)
✅ Vite build: webview.js (1.29 MB) 
✅ CalliopeAI Agent: Copied to WAIIDE/extensions/calliope-WAIIDE-agent/
✅ Pergamon Theme: Copied to WAIIDE/extensions/theme-pergamon/
✅ No build errors or warnings

CI/CD Compatibility

✅ Submodules auto-initialize in GitHub Actions
✅ Build script handles missing submodules gracefully
✅ Works with workflow dispatch and branch builds
✅ Compatible with existing ECR push workflows
