The preview (homologação)

The preview (in the Portuguese panel, homologação) is your site running from the homolog branch, where the agent commits its work. It collects the changes of every finished request until someone approves or discards them.

The project shows the preview in one of three states:

State Meaning
Same as production homolog matches production. Nothing to review.
Changes to review The agent pushed changes nobody decided on yet. Each push is a new version (1, 2, 3…).
Publishing Someone approved; bohr is merging and GitHub Actions is deploying.

Open See the preview on the Overview or in the chat, or choose Preview in the selector of the site’s full-screen view (opening the Chat there switches to it):

  • Beside the selector, Same as production or 2 changes (hover it for what changed).
  • Switch between Desktop, Tablet and Phone, or open it in a new tab.
  • The Overview’s preview card lists what the agent did, with Approve and publish and Discard.
  • See the changes on GitHub, in the chat, opens the diff of exactly the commit that approving publishes.

The chat never prints the preview’s address: on Telegram, the 🔎 See the preview button opens it.

The preview address is public but unlisted: an unguessable workers.dev name, marked noindex for search engines. Share it with whoever needs to review.

The preview is the project’s dev server running in the agent’s sandbox, as configured in .bohr/preview.json. The sandbox sleeps when idle: the first visit after a while shows “The preview is starting. This page reloads by itself.” while it installs and starts again.

Any member can approve. Approve and publish:

  1. opens (or reuses) a pull request from homolog to the production branch;
  2. squash-merges it only if its head is still the version you reviewed, so changes pushed after your review cannot slip in;
  3. resets homolog to the merge, and the next request starts a fresh conversation;
  4. GitHub Actions deploys production. The chat says Production updated when the run finishes, or The production deploy failed with a link to the run.

You cannot decide while a request is running (“Wait for the running request to finish before deciding.”). A request that finishes while an approval is publishing waits for the next approval.

Discard (confirm with Discard the changes?) resets homolog to production. The changes that were not published are lost, and the next request starts a fresh conversation.

The project bot sends the same buttons, bound to the version they were sent with. See Telegram.
