Dex is the browser surface for finding, reading, and continuing Condensate tasks. Start the runtime first, then run the web app:
bun run --cwd apps/dex-app dev
Connections
| Setting | Default |
|---|---|
DEX_APP_PORT | 5189 |
CONDENSATE_AGENTS_URL | http://127.0.0.1:4741 |
CONDENSATE_HUB_URL | http://127.0.0.1:4700 |
The web server forwards /runtime/* and /hub/* to those upstreams. A dead upstream returns a 502 rather than an empty successful response.
Open an existing task
Use ?thread=<id> to link to a specific thread. Runtime chat and repository review have separate upstreams; check the failing service when only one part of the interface is unavailable.
The installable app caches its shell. Runtime requests and live task state must come from the network. Reopening a cached shell is not evidence that the runtime is connected.
Link to a task
Use the ID returned by the runtime to form a direct link:
http://127.0.0.1:5189/?thread=THREAD_ID
The apps/dex messaging service and apps/dex-app browser application are separate workspaces. The startup command on this page launches the browser application.
