Steps to Reproduce

  1. Load http://143.198.27.163/
  2. Wait for 3D world to initialize
  3. Observe the connection status indicator (bottom-right)

Expected

The WebSocket should connect to the backend, showing "CONNECTED" status. Agents should receive live state updates.

Actual

The connection status permanently shows "○ OFFLINE". The JS code reveals:

  • VITE_WS_URL is baked in as empty string ""
  • The config isLive getter returns false when wsUrl is empty
  • Code falls through to mock mode and runs ti() (ambient bark timer)
  • Port 8088 on the VPS is not responding (connection timeout)

Root Cause

The Vite build was done without setting VITE_WS_URL environment variable. The backend service on port 8088 is also not running.

Fix Needed

  1. Set VITE_WS_URL=ws://143.198.27.163:8088/ws (or appropriate URL) in .env.production and rebuild
  2. Ensure the backend WebSocket server is running on port 8088
  3. Consider adding a ?ws= query param override for testing

Severity: P0

This is the core real-time functionality. Without WebSocket, the Matrix is purely a static demo with fake barks.

Observe the connection status indicator (bottom-right) ## Expected The WebSocket should connect to the backend, showing "CONNECTED" status. Agents should receive live state updates. ## Actual The connection status permanently shows "○ OFFLINE". The JS code reveals: - `VITE_WS_URL` is baked in as empty string `""` - The config `isLive` getter returns `false` when wsUrl is empty - Code falls through to mock mode and runs `ti()` (ambient bark timer) - Port 8088 on the VPS is not responding (connection timeout) ## Root Cause The Vite build was done without setting `VITE_WS_URL` environment variable. The backend service on port 8088 is also not running. ## Fix Needed 1. Set `VITE_WS_URL=ws://143.198.27.163:8088/ws` (or appropriate URL) in `.env.production` and rebuild 2.

📋 Triage: Infrastructure — Deprioritized

Matrix UI polish. Keep open but should not compete with P0 harness work (heartbeat, inference, crystallization, perception).
