BetaGrace vI

GitHub TypeScript Node Tests

BetaGrace AI is an independent, open-source software project. It is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with any commercial logistics or trading entities. BetaGrace vI is a full-stack AI agent platform designed for adult creative writing, multi-modal generation (text, image, video), and deep narrative exploration. Built on TypeScript, React, Express, and PostgreSQL — runs entirely on free-tier AI providers. Github coderaph inspired by github.com/colbymchenry/codegraph
Current Version: 4.3 — May 27, 2026 Test Status: npm run test:fast — 76/78 smoke tests passing (97.4%); 2 local-synthesis debug retrieval checks currently return 401 Unauthorized.

Image Generation Benchmark

ORIGIN STORY:
Reached with no prior coding experience, no ControlNet, no custom datasets, and a free Pollinations endpoint.
Configuration lost -> Realization of gold-standard text-to-image adherence -> Three weeks of chasing ghost code -> Rebuilt build nearest to Aug 2 state -> Returned stronger than the original peak. 4 months over a 9 month period of development.

High-Density Constraint-Locking Evaluation

20 / 27 canonical concepts passed (74.1%) under strict zero-tolerance visual verification.

This public benchmark tests whether an image-generation system can hold a dense set of precise, verifiable constraints at once, including laterality, exact text placement and material, dual lighting temperatures, micro-details, and object states. One missing or unverifiable critical constraint is a FAIL; aspect ratio is excluded from the pass/fail metric. This document is subject to change and scrutiny. I am only one developer.

The result applies to the documented prompts, endpoints, attempt budgets, and visual verification rules. It does not claim that the underlying image model was modified or retrained, universal superiority across prompts or model versions, or statistical dominance from the small head-to-head sample.

What is BetaGrace?

BetaGrace is an AI agent platform with 8 specialized writing modes, a cinematic video generation pipeline, a 7-section academic paper builder, image generation with 42 mix-and-match style descriptors, code graph intelligence, a full GDPR compliance layer (Art. 17 + Art. 20), and an in-app admin dashboard — all running as a single self-contained server you can deploy anywhere.

It runs entirely on free-tier AI providers (OpenRouter + Local Synthesis). No paid API keys are required to get started.

Features

8 AI Modes

Mode Description
Standard Balanced writing and general-purpose assistant
Flesh Architect Dark, intense, body-horror and gothic creative writing
Sanctuary Safe, gentle, protective tone for sensitive topics
Advanced Reasoning Deep structured thinking for complex questions
Autonomous Multi-step task execution without hand-holding
Video Generator Cinematic storyboard → frame generation → FFmpeg MP4 assembly
Code Graph Paste code → live SVG force-directed dependency graph (JS/TS/Python)
Academic Research 70×7 pipeline: Guard Loop → 7-section paper, written and downloaded independently
Smart Toggles

Faith Enhancement — adds spiritual voice and grace-forward imagery to responses
Advanced Reasoning — deeper, structured thinking in any mode
AI Provider Chain (fully free)

Requests cascade through providers until one succeeds:

OpenRouter — primary, fastest
Local Synthesis Engine — always available, zero external dependencies
70×7 Academic Artifact Builder

Type /full [topic] in chat or click the Write Artifact toolbar button
DuckDuckGo Guard Loop validates the topic before any writing begins
7-section paper generated in the background — no proxy timeouts
Live progress bar: Section X/7 — updated every 3 seconds
Completed paper downloads as a Markdown file
Artifacts persisted to PostgreSQL — survive server restarts
Video Generation Pipeline

Storyboard hydration engine generates 10–20 cinematically distinct scenes
Each frame individually prompted with unique shot angles, lighting, atmosphere, and seed
FFmpeg assembles frames into a streaming MP4 (H.264, CRF 23, fast preset)
Real-time storyboard preview with scene captions during processing
Automatic cleanup of temp frames after assembly
Full mobile support (iOS + Android)
Image Generation

Pollinations Flux API — no key required for basic use
42 mix-and-match style descriptors — 150+ effective style combinations
Hand-validation loop with up to 3 auto-retries for anatomical correctness
High / ultra quality options
Code Graph Panel

Paste any JS, TypeScript, or Python snippet
SVG force-directed graph renders live in the browser using Graphology
Nodes = files/classes/functions, edges = import/call relationships
Works on mobile (pinch-zoom recommended for large graphs)
Memory & Learning System

Per-session parallel learning engine analyzes writing patterns in real time
Long-term semantic compression stores insights across sessions
Anti-cascade protocol: learning data survives session deletion (ON DELETE SET NULL)
All memory stored in PostgreSQL — persists across restarts
Admin endpoint: GET /api/health/learning (requires ADMIN_TOKEN)
Retrieval debug endpoint: POST /api/synthesis/test-retrieval lets you inspect the top local BM25/fallback matches and scores without affecting normal chat behavior
Privacy & GDPR Compliance

GDPR Article 20 — Right to Data Portability

One-click ZIP export from Settings → Data tab — 6 JSON files + README.txt
Files: session.json, conversations.json, messages.json, consent.json, learning_data.json, long_term_memory.json
GDPR Article 17 — Right to Erasure

Formal deletion request form in Settings → Data tab (reason + optional message)
Request logged to DB, admin email notification via configurable SMTP
30-day processing window with status tracking (pending → processing → completed)
Instant Self-Service Deletion

"Delete All My Data" button hard-deletes everything immediately via cascade
Additional

COPPA-compliant 18+ age verification gate
30-day rolling retention auto-purge (based on last interaction, not session creation)
12-month consent record auto-purge
6-category granular cookie consent
Full Privacy Policy and Terms of Service served as API endpoints
In-App Admin Panel

Access via Settings → Admin tab with your ADMIN_TOKEN:

Panel Function
Learning Health Dashboard Live DB counts for learning data, long-term memory, anti-cascade proof. Auto-refreshes every 30s
GDPR Deletion Requests All Art. 17 requests with session IDs, timestamps, user messages. One-click Mark Complete / Processing / Failed
Session Consent Lookup Look up any session's consent record and cookie preferences by session ID
Tech Stack

Layer Technology
Frontend React 18 + Vite + TypeScript
Styling Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui (Radix UI)
State Zustand + TanStack Query
Backend Express + TypeScript (tsx)
Database PostgreSQL 14+ via Drizzle ORM
AI / Text OpenRouter + Local Synthesis
AI / Images Pollinations Flux API
Video FFmpeg (ffmpeg-static, no install required)
Email nodemailer (SMTP — optional, graceful skip when unconfigured)
Auth Session-based with fingerprint fallback
Routing Wouter (client), Express (server)
Quick Start

Prerequisites

Node.js 20+
PostgreSQL 14+ (or a free hosted instance — Neon, Supabase, Railway)

Clone & install

git clone https://github.com/thesweetlord/BetAGracevI.git
cd betagrace
npm install

Configure environment

cp .env.example .env
Edit .env — the three required values:

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/betagrace
SESSION_SECRET=
ADMIN_TOKEN=
DEV_PASSWORD=
Everything else is optional. The app works fully without any paid API keys.

Optional — for better AI performance:

POLLINATIONS_API_KEY=your_key_here
Optional — for GDPR Art. 17 email alerts:

ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@yourdomain.com
SMTP_FROM=noreply@yourdomain.com
SMTP_HOST=smtp.yourdomain.com
SMTP_PORT=587
SMTP_USER=your_smtp_username
SMTP_PASS=your_smtp_password

Set up the database

npx drizzle-kit push

Start the server

npm run dev
Open http://localhost:5000 — you'll see the age verification screen, then the full platform.

Running Tests

Fast mode (78 tests, ~23s) — skips long-polling artifact waits

npm run test:fast

Full suite (includes artifact polling and may take several minutes)

npm run test
The fast suite covers: all 8 AI modes, full session lifecycle, SSE streaming, artifact builder pipeline, video mode guards, code graph analysis, memory system, guardrails (injection + oversized message), privacy endpoints (export/delete/anti-cascade), admin token auth, GDPR flows, feature toggles, concurrent session isolation, session edge cases, max-token validation, and database schema checks. The current run passes 76 of 78 checks; the two failures are local-synthesis debug retrieval checks receiving 401 Unauthorized.
