Implements persistent User Workspace storage for CoPilot, enabling
blocks to save and retrieve files across sessions. Files are stored in
session-scoped virtual paths (`/sessions/{session_id}/`).
Fixes SECRT-1833
### Changes 🏗️
**Database & Storage:**
- Add `UserWorkspace` and `UserWorkspaceFile` Prisma models
- Implement `WorkspaceStorageBackend` abstraction (GCS for cloud, local
filesystem for self-hosted)
- Add `workspace_id` and `session_id` fields to `ExecutionContext`
**Backend API:**
- Add REST endpoints: `GET/POST /api/workspace/files`, `GET/DELETE
/api/workspace/files/{id}`, `GET /api/workspace/files/{id}/download`
- Add CoPilot tools: `list_workspace_files`, `read_workspace_file`,
`write_workspace_file`
- Integrate workspace storage into `store_media_file()` - returns
`workspace://file-id` references
**Block Updates:**
- Refactor all file-handling blocks to use unified `ExecutionContext`
parameter
- Update media-generating blocks to persist outputs to workspace
(AIImageGenerator, AIImageCustomizer, FluxKontext, TalkingHead, FAL
video, Bannerbear, etc.)
**Frontend:**
- Render `workspace://` image references in chat via proxy endpoint
- Add "AI cannot see this image" overlay indicator
**CoPilot Context Mapping:**
- Session = Agent (graph_id) = Run (graph_exec_id)
- Files scoped to `/sessions/{session_id}/`

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---
> [!NOTE]
> **Medium Risk**
> Introduces a new persistent file-storage surface area (DB tables,
storage backends, download API, and chat tools) and rewires
`store_media_file()`/block execution context across many blocks, so
regressions could impact file handling, access control, or storage
costs.
>
> **Overview**
> Adds a **persistent per-user Workspace** (new
`UserWorkspace`/`UserWorkspaceFile` models plus `WorkspaceManager` +
`WorkspaceStorageBackend` with GCS/local implementations) and wires it
into the API via a new `/api/workspace/files/{file_id}/download` route
(including header-sanitized `Content-Disposition`) and shutdown
lifecycle hooks.
>
> Extends `ExecutionContext` to carry execution identity +
`workspace_id`/`session_id`, updates executor tooling to clone
node-specific contexts, and updates `run_block` (CoPilot) to create a
session-scoped workspace and synthetic graph/run/node IDs.
>
> Refactors `store_media_file()` to require `execution_context` +
`return_format` and to support `workspace://` references; migrates many
media/file-handling blocks and related tests to the new API and to
persist generated media as `workspace://...` (or fall back to data URIs
outside CoPilot), and adds CoPilot chat tools for
listing/reading/writing/deleting workspace files with safeguards against
context bloat.

This is the frontend for AutoGPT's next generation
🧢 Getting Started
This project uses pnpm as the package manager via corepack. Corepack is a Node.js tool that automatically manages package managers without requiring global installations.
For architecture, conventions, data fetching, feature flags, design system usage, state management, and PR process, see CONTRIBUTING.md. For Playwright and Storybook testing setup, see TESTING.md.
Prerequisites
Make sure you have Node.js 16.10+ installed. Corepack is included with Node.js by default.
Setup
1. Enable corepack (run this once on your system):
corepack enable
This enables corepack to automatically manage pnpm based on the packageManager field in package.json.
2. Install dependencies:
pnpm i
3. Start the development server:
Running the Front-end & Back-end separately
We recommend this approach if you are doing active development on the project. First spin up the Back-end:
# on `autogpt_platform`
docker compose --profile local up deps_backend -d
# on `autogpt_platform/backend`
poetry run app
Then start the Front-end:
# on `autogpt_platform/frontend`
pnpm dev
Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result. If the server starts on http://localhost:3001 it means the Front-end is already running via Docker. You have to kill the container then or do docker compose down.
You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
Running both the Front-end and Back-end via Docker
If you run:
# on `autogpt_platform`
docker compose up -d
It will spin up the Back-end and Front-end via Docker. The Front-end will start on port 3000. This might not be
what you want when actively contributing to the Front-end as you won't have direct/easy access to the Next.js dev server.
Subsequent Runs
For subsequent development sessions, you only need to run:
pnpm dev
Every time a new Front-end dependency is added by you or others, you will need to run pnpm i to install the new dependencies.

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
🔄 Data Fetching
See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidance on generated API hooks, SSR + hydration patterns, and usage examples. You generally do not need to run OpenAPI commands unless adding/modifying backend endpoints.
🚩 Feature Flags
See CONTRIBUTING.md for feature flag usage patterns, local development with mocks, and how to add new flags.

TODO
📙 Storybook
Storybook is a powerful development environment for UI components. It allows you to build UI components in isolation, making it easier to develop, test, and document your components independently from your main application.
Purpose in the Development Process
- Component Development: Develop and test UI components in isolation.
- Visual Testing: Easily spot visual regressions.
- Documentation: Automatically document components and their props.
- Collaboration: Share components with your team or stakeholders for feedback.
How to Use Storybook
-
Start Storybook: Run the following command to start the Storybook development server:
pnpm storybookThis will start Storybook on port 6006. Open http://localhost:6006 in your browser to view your component library.
-
Build Storybook: To build a static version of Storybook for deployment, use:
pnpm build-storybook -
Running Storybook Tests: Storybook tests can be run using:
pnpm test-storybook -
Writing Stories: Create
.stories.tsxfiles alongside your components to define different states and variations of your components.
By integrating Storybook into our development workflow, we can streamline UI development, improve component reusability, and maintain a consistent design system across the project.
