Unicorn Commander — services.

I spent today building the infrastructure layer for tool servers in center-deep-pro, which is basically giving the system the ability to run specialized research and search tasks as dedicated services rather than inline functions. I added 17 files covering the Docker setup, the OpenWebUI integration hooks, and the actual tool implementations for academic research, deep search, and report generation. It was a big chunk of work: almost 3,000 lines added across configuration files, server scripts, and the Python tool modules themselves. The Gemma 3 setup was part of this too, tying the tool server into the broader model infrastructure.

The uc-cloud repo took a different kind of hit. I pushed a massive update there, 74,000 lines across 283 files, which was mostly the Authentik SSO integration work. I'm talking full setup guides, OIDC configuration docs, backend developer starter guides, and all the deployment documentation for tying Center Deep into Authentik for single sign-on. It was a big lift, but it was necessary plumbing. I also pushed a separate documentation commit for UC-1 Pro v1.0 that cleaned up the README and features architecture docs to keep things consistent.

Then there was unicorncommander.com, which got its entire website pushed live in one commit. That was 1,137 files and about 146,000 lines, including all the built assets, images, the Colonel background artwork, and the full site structure. This was the marketing site that ties the product narrative together, and having it in the repo means the whole thing ships with the code.

Wednesday was one of those days where three completely different kinds of work happened at once: infrastructure for a new capability, a massive documentation and SSO integration push, and a full website deployment. Each one alone would be a solid day. Doing all three in 5 commits is just how it goes when you're the one who has to make it happen.

The tool servers are the most interesting part technically, because they open up the system for real research workflows instead of just chat. But honestly, having the website in the repo and the SSO wired up are what make the whole thing feel less like a prototype and more like a product.
