Summary

  • Remove 16 internal packages: tui, telegram, voice, google, server, scheduler, github, briefing, calendar, mdv2, orchestrator, mode, project, prompt, tool, simulation
  • Remove vscode-ghost/ extension
  • Remove engine.go and extract.go from reflection (no remaining callers)
  • Strip provider.go to MemoryStore + LLMProvider interfaces only (remove PromptBuilder, Frontend, InputSource, OutputSink, ApprovalFunc)
  • Rewrite cmd/ghost/main.go: keep only mcp/hook/reflect/upgrade/version subcommands
  • Run go mod tidy: drops ~20 deps (charm.land/*, go-telegram/bot, google.golang.org/api, chi, gocron, go-github, etc.)
  • Update Dockerfile CMD: "serve" → "mcp"
  • Update README: remove daemon/TUI/bot sections, add CLI reference, update architecture diagram

What stays

memory, mcpserver, mcpinit, embedding, reflection (consolidators only), claudeimport, config, ai, selfupdate, provider

Test plan

  • go build ./cmd/ghost/ — clean
  • go vet ./... — clean
  • go test ./... — all pass
  • Dockerfile CMD updated
  • README updated

Warning

Rate limit exceeded

@wcatz has exceeded the limit for the number of commits that can be reviewed per hour. Please wait 30 minutes and 36 seconds before requesting another review.

Your organization is not enrolled in usage-based pricing. Contact your admin to enable usage-based pricing to continue reviews beyond the rate limit, or try again in 30 minutes and 36 seconds.

⌛ How to resolve this issue?

After the wait time has elapsed, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

We recommend that you space out your commits to avoid hitting the rate limit.

🚦 How do rate limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces hourly rate limits for each developer per organization.

Our paid plans have higher rate limits than the trial, open-source and free plans. In all cases, we re-allow further reviews after a brief timeout.

Please see our FAQ for further information.
