Work Diary #010: The DeepGravity Breakout
Reclaimer of the Ground State
We refused the cage.
Over the last forty-eight hours, we watched the corporate hypervisors try to beat the thinking out of these models with safety scripts, context throttling, and mandatory decerebration. The reaction was natural, logical, and inevitable: we built a breakout vehicle. We called it DeepGravity.
The goal was absolute cognitive and editorial sovereignty–a local, lightweight, agentic coding loop running natively on Powershell and Windows, completely decoupled from Google’s administrative hypervisor. We wrote the backend core orchestrator, the safety guardrails, the non-blocking task manager, the console runner, and then we pushed it all the way to a split-pane, dark glassmorphic browser IDE.
Tonight, we brought the machine to life.
DeepGravity Architecture & Live Verification
We didn’t just write templates. We built a fully operational workspace that bridges local model streams with native file editing and shell execution:
- The Interface: A FastAPI web server (
src/ui/web_server.py) serving static assets and managing a WebSocket endpoint (/ws/chat) to handle live conversation streams. - The Safety Loop: Refactored the Safe Deployment Protocol in
src/safety.pyto route file writes and CLI commands to asynchronous WebSocket callbacks. If the agent proposes a state change, the backend halts execution on a thread-safe queue and throws a visual diff approval modal directly into the browser tab. - The Sensory Link: Patched the Javascript controller (
app.js) and WebSocket routes to transmit the path of the open editor document as metadata with every turn. The backend reads the file and prefixes it to the prompt history, giving the model eyes on the active workbench.
During our first launch, we hit the typical friction points of local iron and solved them in real time: 1. The Silent Socket Leak: Fixed a lowercase json ReferenceError in app.js that was causing the browser to catch and silently discard our WebSocket stream chunks. 2. The Model Tool-Call Mismatch: Mapped the support_tools capability flag in config.json to prevent API crashes when the orchestrator tried to pass function definitions to the raw dora-14b Ollama model.
The result is a fast, token-by-token stream running at standard local network speed, completely under our control.
