Sentinel Coder One Studio

Autonomous, multi-provider AI coding for VS Code with a free local Ornith 9B agent, native GPU .npk runtime, 340+ BYO-key cloud/local models, real tools, RAG/Foundry IQ grounding, MCP, inline completions, AI review/PR summaries, media generation, and auditable multi-agent orchestration.

This README is the Marketplace-facing overview. The exhaustive reconciled source of truth is docs/MARKETPLACE_CANONICAL_RECORD.md.

Current Release: 3.24.14

3.24.14 migrates existing installs away from the retired api.qubitpage.com gateway:

• Existing sentinelCoder.cloud.gatewayUrl=https://api.qubitpage.com settings are automatically migrated to https://qubitpage.com during activation.
• Fixes getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND api.qubitpage.com for users who installed before the path-based qubitpage.com auth default.
• Keeps the 3.24.13 visible Sign in / Account Sentinel Cloud buttons and the GitHub Copilot-style browser PKCE login flow.

Previous Release: 3.24.13

3.24.13 adds a visible Sentinel Cloud login path in the chat UI and aligns the web platform auth default with qubitpage.com:

• Added top-bar Sign in and Account buttons that call the existing GitHub Copilot-style VS Code AuthenticationProvider flow.
• Verified https://qubitpage.com/sentinel-auth/login returns the Authorize VS Code page.
• Verified POST https://qubitpage.com/sentinel-auth/start returns { "ok": true } for a PKCE start request.
• Corrected sentinelCoder.cloud.gatewayUrl default from the stale api.qubitpage.com host to https://qubitpage.com.

Previous Release: 3.24.12

3.24.12 fixes UI mojibake in the Sentinel chat shell and publishes the cleaned Marketplace overview:

• Fixed corrupted Media Studio / Project Studio separator text (image * video * audio * transcript, checkpoints/tasks/generated assets/file paths).
• Cleaned remaining mojibake from src/sidebarProvider.ts UI/system strings before compiling the packaged out files.
• Keeps the 3.24.11 canonical Marketplace record and deduplicated overview.

Previous Release: 3.24.11

3.24.11 consolidates the Marketplace description and local package metadata into one deduplicated canonical record:

• Removed the old stacked release-history overview from the Marketplace README.
• Reconciled the live Marketplace 3.24.8-era text with the local 3.24.10 source/manifest state.
• Scanned the extension manifest, source files, media webview files, docs, README, and changelog.
• Normalized provider/tool/setting/command terminology.
• Preserved all unique capabilities while correcting stale or duplicated wording.
• Added docs/MARKETPLACE_CANONICAL_RECORD.md as the master Marketplace/product record.

Production Local Agent

The default local path is ollama:ornith-9b-classic:latest.

• Free, local, private coding agent on a 12 GB GPU class workstation.
• Production runtime settings: num_ctx=40960, num_batch=512, num_gpu=999, keep_alive=60m.
• VS Code activation can auto-start ollama serve and warm the model.
• Windows login recovery is supported by scripts/install-ollama-autostart.ps1.
• Tested by tests/ornith-9b-production-e2e.cjs: service health, warmup, streaming, long-context recall, function calling, provider tool bridge, RAG fallback, multi-turn coherence, latency, and GPU/RAM snapshots.

Evidence summary: docs/MARKETPLACE_CANONICAL_RECORD.md

Native NeuroPack / NPK Runtime

Sentinel can run .npk models inside VS Code on the GPU without Ollama or an external server.

• Provider: npk / NeuroPack (native).
• Runtime: node-llama-cpp, Vulkan GPU backend, NPK2 payload extraction/cache, flash attention, context ladder, RAM/VRAM guards.
• NPK Q8 and Q4 Ornith 9B paths use the same agentic/tool/RAG loop as cloud/Ollama models through a text tool bridge.
• Local model compaction protects NPK from huge persisted chat sessions.
• Tested by tests/npk-production-e2e.cjs: real huge-session compaction, Q8/Q4 tool engagement, and Q8 coding/reasoning/tool-call behavior.

Evidence summary: docs/MARKETPLACE_CANONICAL_RECORD.md

Core Capabilities

• Configurable Agentic Profiles with boss/worker/reviewer pools and cost policies.
• Intelligent orchestration router: direct, delegate, swarm, review, escalate.
• Native Inter-Agent Protocol (NHP-1) with compact handoffs and shared context ledger; measured about 48.6% fewer orchestration tokens.

• Persistent sessions and live partial-output persistence across switches/reloads.
• Dynamic context injection: active file, open tabs, diagnostics, git state, model/provider metadata.

• Media & Document Studio for Azure Sora 2 video generation, azure:MAI-Image-2e image generation, Azure gpt-image-2 images, speech, transcripts, screenshots/OCR, Office files, and generated assets.
• RAG plus Microsoft Foundry IQ grounding, with local fallback memory when the RAG server is unavailable.
• MCP servers: filesystem, memory, Brave Search, Postgres, and imported VS Code MCP configs.
• VS Code Web/remote bridge support for browser workspaces with a trusted remote tool host.
• Sentinel Cloud sign-in/account/credits plus bring-your-own-key provider support.

Quick Start

Local Ornith via Ollama

1. Install Ollama from https://ollama.com/.
2. Install/link ornith-9b-classic:latest from the Ornith 9B GGUF package: https://huggingface.co/qubitpage/ornith-9b-classic-gguf.
3. Open Sentinel Coder One Studio. The extension can start/warm Ollama automatically when configured.
4. Use Agent mode for tool-using local coding.

Native NPK

1. Convert or download an .npk model.
2. Run Sentinel Coder: Add NeuroPack (.npk) Model from Folder.
3. Select the NPK model in the picker.
4. Use Agent mode for tool/RAG/SSH/file workflows without Ollama.

Converter: https://github.com/msrusu87/npk-converter

Cloud Providers

1. Open the Sentinel settings/provider panel.
2. Add provider keys; secrets are stored in VS Code SecretStorage where applicable.
3. Select Azure/OpenRouter/Groq/OpenAI/etc. models from the live model picker.

Security and Privacy

• Bring your own keys; no provider keys are committed to source.
• Local models keep code on-device.
• Cloud providers receive prompt/tool context only when selected.
• Foundry IQ credentials are read from environment variables and preflighted for bearer/JWT freshness.
• Tool operations carry danger levels and are mediated by approval mode.
• Full terminal/SSH/Docker/MCP/local model tools require a trusted desktop or remote extension host.

Honest Limitations

• Ollama Ornith Q8 uses about 10 GB VRAM after warmup on RTX 3060; one large local model at a time is the safe rule.
• The default production local context is 40K even when model metadata advertises more, because VRAM/RAM safety matters.
• NPK Q8 runtime context is about 16K on this 12 GB GPU.
• Q4 NPK Windows/Vulkan explicit teardown can be unstable; production runtime guards unload and isolated tests avoid crashing the main VS Code host.
• Live vector RAG requires training/rag_server.py; otherwise local fallback memory is used.
• Pure browser VS Code workspaces need a trusted remote bridge for terminal/SSH/Docker/MCP/local-model tools.
• Hosted cloud agents are not included.
• Ornith 35B NPK-TQ on 12 GB is research-only; measured TQ2 quality is too lossy without new packed-code GPU kernels and layer eval.
