Module: Frontend Web App

Responsibilities

• Render the ClawSec website for home, skills catalog/detail, and advisory feed/detail experiences.
• Render repository wiki content from wiki/ markdown and expose per-page llms.txt links.
• Provide resilient JSON fetch behavior that handles SPA HTML fallback cases.
• Display install commands, checksums, and advisory metadata in a browser-focused UX.

Key Files

• index.tsx: React bootstrap and root mount.
• App.tsx: Router map and page entry wiring.
• pages/Home.tsx: Landing page, install card, animated platform/file labels.
• pages/SkillsCatalog.tsx: Catalog fetch/filter state machine and empty-state handling.
• pages/SkillDetail.tsx: Loads skill.json, checksums, README/SKILL docs with markdown renderer.
• pages/FeedSetup.tsx: Advisory listing UI with pagination.
• pages/AdvisoryDetail.tsx: Advisory deep-dive view and source links.
• pages/WikiBrowser.tsx: In-app wiki renderer with wiki-page and llms.txt links.
• components/Layout.tsx + components/Header.tsx: Shared shell and nav behavior.

Public Interfaces

• Browser routes:
  • /
  • /skills
  • /skills/:skillId
  • /feed
  • /feed/:advisoryId
  • /wiki/*
• Static fetch targets:
  • /skills/index.json
  • /skills/<skill>/skill.json
  • /skills/<skill>/checksums.json
  • /advisories/feed.json
  • /wiki/llms.txt
  • /wiki/<page>/llms.txt
• Display contracts:
  • SkillMetadata, SkillJson, SkillChecksums, AdvisoryFeed, Advisory from types.ts.

Inputs and Outputs

Inputs/outputs are summarized in the table below.

Type	Name	Location	Description
Input	Skills index JSON	/skills/index.json	List of published skills and metadata.
Input	Skill payload files	/skills/<id>/skill.json, markdown docs, checksums.json	Detail-page content and integrity table.
Input	Advisory feed JSON	/advisories/feed.json, then https://clawsec.prompt.security/advisories/feed.json (legacy mirror fallback to /releases/latest/download/feed.json)	Advisory list/detail content.
Output	Route-specific UI states	Browser view state	Loading, empty, error, and populated experiences.
Output	Copy-to-clipboard commands	Clipboard API	Install and checksum snippets copied for users.

Configuration

• Build/runtime config comes from:
  • vite.config.ts (port, host, path alias)
  • index.html Tailwind config + custom fonts/colors
  • constants.ts (ADVISORY_FEED_URL, LOCAL_FEED_PATH)
• Wiki markdown source lives in wiki/; scripts/generate-wiki-llms.mjs generates public/wiki/**/llms.txt (via predev/prebuild).
• Runtime behavior assumptions:
  • JSON responses may be empty or HTML fallback and must be validated.
  • Advisory list pagination uses ITEMS_PER_PAGE = 9.

Example Snippets

// Catalog fetch logic guards against HTML fallback responses
const contentType = response.headers.get('content-type') ?? '';
const raw = await response.text();
if (!raw.trim() || contentType.includes('text/html') || isProbablyHtmlDocument(raw)) {
  setSkills([]);
  setFilteredSkills([]);
  return;
}

// Route map defined in App.tsx
<Route path="/skills/:skillId" element={<SkillDetail />} />
<Route path="/feed/:advisoryId" element={<AdvisoryDetail />} />
<Route path="/wiki/*" element={<WikiBrowser />} />

Edge Cases

• Missing skills/index.json returns empty catalog instead of hard failure.
• Some environments return index.html for missing JSON paths with status 200; code defends against this.
• Skill detail tolerates missing/malformed checksums and missing markdown docs.
• Advisory detail handles absent optional fields (cvss_score, reporter, references).

Tests

Test Type	Location	Notes
Type/lint/build checks	scripts/prepare-to-push.sh + CI	Frontend confidence comes from static checks and build success.
App-wide CI gates	.github/workflows/ci.yml	Multi-OS TypeScript/ESLint/build checks.
Manual smoke checks	npm run dev	Validate route rendering and fetch paths during development.
