TUI

Run Nightward without arguments to open the interactive terminal app:

nw

Review a saved report without scanning again:

nw tui --input scan.json

Fixture walkthrough

Seven screens from one scrubbed report.

The homepage loop and gallery below are generated from `site/public/demo/nightward-sample-scan.json`, not from a live workstation scan.

Screen Gallery

Overview. Severity posture, recent findings, safe defaults, and the first next action.

Findings. Searchable finding list beside redacted evidence and plan-only next action detail.

Analysis. Offline normalized signals grouped by category without provider network calls.

Fix Plan. Review groups and explicit manual remediation steps, with no live config mutation.

Inventory. Tool paths by classification and risk so sync candidates stay separate from local-only state.

Backup. Dry-run portable candidates and never-sync exclusions from the fixture home model.

Help. Keyboard controls and the read-only safety model shown inside the app.

Sections

• Overview: risk posture, severity bars, recent findings, and next action.
• Findings: searchable finding list with redacted detail panes.
• Analysis: normalized offline signals and provider-warning context.
• Fix Plan: plan-only remediation groups and review steps.
• Inventory: discovered AI-tool paths by tool, classification, and risk.
• Backup: dry-run dotfiles backup choices.
• Help: key bindings and safety reminders.

The Rust CLI is the source of truth. The TUI uses embedded opentui_rust rendering for the colored dashboard; there is no Bun package or nightward-tui sidecar.

Shortcuts

• 1-7: switch sections.
• tab, right, or l: next section.
• left or h: previous section.
• up, down, j, or k: move selection.
• /: search.
• s: cycle severity.
• x: clear filters.
• q or esc: quit.

NOTE

The TUI is read-only. It does not mutate MCP, agent, or dotfiles config. Fixes remain plan-only review material.

Local Development

cargo run --bin nw
cargo run --bin nw -- tui --input site/public/demo/nightward-sample-scan.json
make demo-assets
make tui-media

Use fixture media for public docs; do not capture a real workstation. make tui-media requires vhs and ffmpeg, writes the seven gallery PNGs under site/public/demo/tui/, refreshes the legacy TUI PNG/GIF, and builds the homepage WebM loop.
