# Console

> The read-only web view over the Ledger

The Console shows what the Ledger already knows. It is strictly read-only: the CLI is the only write path, and there is no `monte console` command. The server imports `monte.api` and nothing else. Reading Ledger files directly is banned, there as everywhere.

## Run it locally

The Console is two processes:

```bash theme={null}
# API server
uv run uvicorn routes:app --app-dir console/server

# Web app, proxies /api to 127.0.0.1:8000
cd console/web && npm run dev
```

The server reads `MONTE_ROOT` for the data root. The web app finds the server through `MONTE_API_ORIGIN`, default `http://127.0.0.1:8000`. On a laptop with an empty data root, seed demo data first:

```bash theme={null}
MONTE_ROOT=~/monte-console-dev uv run python console/seed.py
```

Seeding runs mock and lands in seconds. A second seed against the same root refuses, because a Measurement is frozen at init. Point `MONTE_ROOT` elsewhere or delete the directory.

## Pages

* **Training** and **Evaluations**: the Measurements, each opening its Ledger table: Run rows with a score column, the Split each Run scored, and an Evidence toggle that hides smoke rows.
* **Run detail**: the row in full: plan settings, base model, serving stack, checkpoint relations, live events, and for training Runs the reward curve.
* **Per-task results**: every Trace of an eval Run with its score, expected answer, and extracted answer.
* **Environments**: a task browser for each installed Environment.

## Current limits

* A Trace does not carry its Task's question text. Cross-reference the task ID in the Environment browser.
* Per-task results are not paginated server-side. The test Split ships whole and paginates in the browser.
* Training stats show reward only. Loss and KL from the training log are not parsed yet.
* There is no archive or delete. The Evidence toggle is the only filter.
