chump-server 0.0.44

Python backend for the chump coding assistant

chump-server

The backend hosts ChumpAgent instances over ai-query's built-in agent server routes.

Run

uv sync
uv run chump-server

Install

End-user Chump release archives bundle a platform-specific chump-server binary next to the CLI. The PyPI package remains useful for development, debugging, and direct backend runs:

uv run chump-server

During repository development, uv still uses the local editable ../ai-query source from pyproject.toml.

Build a local standalone backend binary:

python scripts/build_binary.py

The output is written to dist/bin/chump-server-<platform>. Use python scripts/build_binary.py --mode onedir --archive to produce the release archive at dist/bin/chump-server-<platform>.tar.gz.

Release

chump-server versions come from git tags through hatch-vcs.

git tag chump-server-v0.1.0
git push origin chump-server-v0.1.0

Pushing a chump-server-v* tag runs the PyPI job and creates a GitHub Release in .github/workflows/release.yml. The same release also gets platform-specific standalone backend runtime archives named chump-server-<platform>.tar.gz attached for sandbox/server-only deployments. Legacy onefile assets named chump-server-<platform> are also attached so older clients can update across the runtime archive transition.
