Project Window

All Projects drawer → Orbit tab. A visual overview of all projects arranged around a Mission Control hub by urgency — waiting projects closest in, working projects in the middle ring, idle and stale on the outside. Selecting a node shows status, queue count, activity, and Review/Open actions in the right rail.

Bold surfaces (CLI, Preview, Code Graph, Mobile Builds, Git/Deploy)

Section titled “Bold surfaces (CLI, Preview, Code Graph, Mobile Builds, Git/Deploy)”

The per-project window tabs:

  • CLI — split session plus live diagnostics.
  • Preview — local or web preview.
  • Code Graph — Memtrace code intelligence.
  • Mobile Builds — Android APK/AAB.
  • Git/Deploy — Git status, GitHub Issues, and Vercel/Railway deploy health.

Project window → Servers tab. Configure, start, and stop per-project dev servers; Orbit scans package.json for known dev tools and offers one-click “Detected project tools” suggestions (a server entry plus an MCP stdio entry).

MCP tools: orbit_server_start, orbit_server_stop, orbit_server_status, orbit_server_logs.

Project window → Docs tab. An in-app viewer and editor for project context files, global context files, and the read-only audits/ subfolder; create, edit, and save inline.

MCP tools: orbit_get_context, orbit_list_context, orbit_get_context_file, orbit_write_context, orbit_append_context.

Project window → Database tab. Connect a live database to the project and run SQL queries without leaving Orbit. A provider button bar lets you switch between configured database connections (Neon, Supabase, Firestore); the active connection is shown in the header. Queries run in a built-in SQL editor — press Ctrl+Enter to execute. A history dropdown surfaces the last 10 queries run in this project for quick re-use. Results show row count and execution time in the footer.

The tab defaults to read-only. Queries that modify or destroy data are blocked unless Write mode is explicitly enabled via the write-mode toggle — see SQL write gate below.

MCP tools: orbit_neon_query, orbit_neon_schema, orbit_supabase_query, orbit_supabase_schema, orbit_firestore_query, orbit_firestore_collections, orbit_firestore_schema.

The write gate enforces read-only as the default for all database sessions. Queries classified as read operations (SELECT, EXPLAIN) run freely. Queries that modify or destroy data — INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, TRUNCATE, ALTER — are blocked at execution time when write mode is off, and the editor shows a warning instead of running them.

To run modifying queries, enable Write mode via the toggle in the Database tab. A status badge updates to show the session is now in write mode. The gate inspects the raw SQL text before every execution, so the classification applies to queries run from history as well as queries typed directly.

Project window → Files tab (also accessible from the right rail). Browse the project’s directory tree, open any file for reading, create new files, rename existing ones, and delete items — the same operations available to MCP clients. All writes go directly to the filesystem inside the registered project directory.

MCP tools: orbit_read_file, orbit_list_files, orbit_write_file, orbit_delete_file.

Project window → Roadmap tab. A planning surface for the project, shown alongside the other project tabs (queue, docs, servers, preview, code graph, files, deployment, database). App Store Connect and Play Store status (TestFlight build state, Play Console production/internal track) surface under the Mobile Builds tab.

On project rows and cards (the health dot), and Git → Deploy. Vercel and Railway projects show a live deploy-health dot (live, failed, building, unknown) opening a Deploy Health panel with logs, failure snippets, and an Apollo draft-fix action (never auto-queues).

MCP tools: orbit_vercel_status, orbit_railway_deployments, orbit_vercel_logs, orbit_railway_logs.
