Setup & Installation

Using Make (Recommended)

make install    # Install dependencies
make dev        # Start development server (port 3000)
make build      # Build for production
make preview    # Preview production build
make clean      # Clean build artifacts
make info       # Show project info

Using npm

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

1. Start the development server:

npm run dev

The application will open at http://localhost:3000

Building for Production

npm run build
npm run preview

Docker Support

Using Make Commands

make docker-build   # Build Docker image
make docker-run     # Run production container on port 3000
make docker-stop    # Stop and remove container
make docker-clean   # Remove Docker image
make docker-dev     # Run development container with hot reload

Using Docker Directly

Production Build:

docker build -t high-command-ui:latest .
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -e API_URL=http://localhost:3001/api high-command-ui:latest

Development with Hot Reload:

docker build -t high-command-ui:dev -f Dockerfile.dev .
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/app -p 3000:3000 -e NODE_ENV=development high-command-ui:dev npm run dev

Using Docker Compose

Production Stack:

docker-compose up -d

Development Stack:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up

Docker Files

• Dockerfile - Multi-stage production build using Alpine Linux
• Dockerfile.dev - Development environment with hot module replacement
• docker-compose.yml - Production compose stack with High Command API
• .dockerignore - Exclude unnecessary files from Docker builds

Configuration

The application uses environment variables for configuration. Create a .env file in the project root with your settings:

cp .env.example .env

Environment Variables

• VITE_API_URL - High Command API server base URL (default: http://localhost:5000)
• VITE_MCP_URL - MCP server endpoint (default: http://localhost:8000)

Example .env file:

VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:5000
VITE_MCP_URL=http://localhost:8000

For Docker deployments, you can pass environment variables:

docker run -e VITE_API_URL=http://api-server:5000 -p 3000:3000 high-command-ui:latest

API Integration

The UI communicates with the High Command MCP Server via REST endpoints:

Available Endpoints

• POST /api/command - Execute a strategic command
• GET /api/war-status - Fetch current war status
• GET /api/campaign - Get campaign information
• GET /api/planets - List all planets
• GET /api/factions - Get faction data
• GET /api/biomes - Get biome information
• GET /api/statistics - Get game statistics
• GET /api/planets/:index - Get specific planet status

Testing

High Command UI includes comprehensive unit and E2E test coverage.

Unit Testing

Unit tests are powered by Vitest with React Testing Library for component testing.

Run unit tests:

npm run test                # Run all unit tests
npm run test:ui            # Open Vitest UI dashboard
npm run test:coverage      # Generate coverage report

Test files:

• src/test/api.test.ts - High Command API service tests
• src/test/claude.test.ts - Claude AI service tests

AI Integration

Claude Haiku 4.5

High Command UI integrates Claude Haiku 4.5 for advanced natural language processing and tactical decision support. Claude analyzes user queries and leverages MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools to:

• Query Intelligence - Understand complex strategic queries and commands
• Context Awareness - Maintain conversation history for multi-turn interactions
• Tool Integration - Automatically select and execute appropriate MCP tools:
• get_war_status - Retrieve current campaign status
• get_planets - Query planetary data
• get_campaign_info - Fetch campaign details
• get_factions - Get faction information
• get_biomes - Retrieve biome data
• get_statistics - Obtain game statistics

Configuration:

• Set VITE_CLAUDE_API_KEY environment variable with your Anthropic API key
• Claude is automatically enabled when the API key is present
• Falls back to keyword matching if no API key is configured

System Prompt Features:

• ✨ Formatted responses using Markdown (no table pipes)
• 📊 Clear data presentation with headers and bullet points
• 🎯 Tactical decision support for Hell Divers 2 command
• 🚀 Optimized for fast inference with Haiku model
