description Starts the Orchestrator 3 Stream application (backend + frontend) in background mode. Use when the user asks to start orchestrator, launch orchestrator, run orchestrator, or open the orchestrator UI. Supports --session and --cwd flags for backend.

Start Orchestrator

Launches the Orchestrator 3 Stream application with both backend (FastAPI) and frontend (Vue/Vite) servers.

Prerequisites

  • The orchestrator application is located at apps/orchestrator_3_stream/
  • Backend requires Python with uv (Astral UV)
  • Frontend requires Node.js with npm
  • PostgreSQL database should be running

Configuration

Default ports (configurable via .env):

  • Backend: Port 8002 (default fallback: 9403)
  • Frontend: Port 5175

Backend Flags

The backend script (start_be.sh) accepts:

Flag Description Priority
--cwd <path> Working directory for the orchestrator CLI > .env (ORCHESTRATOR_WORKING_DIR) > current dir
--session <id> Session ID to resume CLI > .env (ORCHESTRATOR_SESSION_ID) > new session

Workflow

1. Start Backend (with optional flags)

Run in background by default:

# Basic start (new session, current directory)
cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_be.sh &

# With session ID (resume existing session)
cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_be.sh --session <session-id> &

# With custom working directory
cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_be.sh --cwd /path/to/project &

# With both flags
cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_be.sh --cwd /path/to/project --session <session-id> &

2. Start Frontend

Run in background:

cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_fe.sh &

3. Open UI in Chrome

After both services are running, open the frontend URL:

open -a "Google Chrome" "http://127.0.0.1:5175"

Complete Example Commands

Start both in background (new session):

# Start backend
cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_be.sh &

# Wait for backend to initialize
sleep 3

# Start frontend
cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_fe.sh &

# Wait for frontend to initialize
sleep 2

# Open in Chrome
open -a "Google Chrome" "http://127.0.0.1:5175"

Resume a session:

cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_be.sh --session abc123-def456 &
sleep 3
cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_fe.sh &
sleep 2
open -a "Google Chrome" "http://127.0.0.1:5175"

Foreground Mode

If user requests foreground mode, do NOT use & suffix and run each command sequentially, starting frontend first in background then backend in foreground:

# Frontend in background (so we can run backend in foreground)
cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_fe.sh &

# Backend in foreground (to see logs)
cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_be.sh --cwd /path/to/project

Stopping Services

To stop the services:

# Find and kill backend
lsof -ti:8002 | xargs kill -9

# Find and kill frontend
lsof -ti:5175 | xargs kill -9

Troubleshooting

  • Port in use: The scripts automatically kill processes using their ports before starting
  • Database not running: Ensure PostgreSQL is running before starting backend
  • Missing dependencies: Run uv sync in backend directory, npm install in frontend directory

Examples

Example 1: Basic Start

User request:

Start the orchestrator

You would:

  1. Start backend in background:
    cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_be.sh &
    
  2. Wait 3 seconds for backend to initialize
  3. Start frontend in background:
    cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_fe.sh &
    
  4. Wait 2 seconds for frontend to initialize
  5. Open Chrome:
    open -a "Google Chrome" "http://127.0.0.1:5175"
    

Example 2: Resume Session with Custom CWD

User request:

Start orchestrator with session abc123 and working directory /Users/me/myproject

You would:

  1. Start backend with flags:
    cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_be.sh --cwd /Users/me/myproject --session abc123 &
    
  2. Wait, then start frontend and open Chrome as above

Example 3: Foreground Mode

User request:

Start orchestrator in foreground so I can see logs

You would:

  1. Start frontend in background first:
    cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_fe.sh &
    
  2. Wait 2 seconds
  3. Start backend in foreground (no &):
    cd /path/to/agent-experts/apps/orchestrator_3_stream && ./start_be.sh
    
  4. Note: Chrome opening should happen after frontend is ready but before backend foreground command
