The console is Nyuchi-owned, not Bundu Foundation. The charter draws that line: the framework, its components and its logic are Foundation IP; the console and active cyber testing are Nyuchi’s. The ecosystem page follows it repository by repository.
mzizi-dev/mzizi-console is the Mzizi console, destined for app.mzizi.dev. Astro in front, Rust behind.

The split

Astro renders the chrome — navigation, headings, prose, the page shell — as static HTML at build time. Rust and Dioxus islands render the data, fetched from the registry API at runtime. Both halves are deliberate. The chrome is static because a console’s navigation has no reason to cost a 900 KiB WebAssembly download before it can show a heading; the overview page mounts no island at all and ships no WASM. The data is live because a component list baked in at build time goes stale the moment a component ships, and a stale copy that still looks authoritative is the defect class this ecosystem keeps removing.

Status

app.mzizi.dev resolves and is live, checked by DNS lookup on 26 September 2026. The AuthKit sign-in gate is merged to main but not yet redeployed. See the ecosystem for the full measured table.

What it replaces

@nyuchi/mzizi-console-app — a Svelte 5 mini-app, last at 0.2.0-beta.1, which the Nyuchi Console mounted under /apps/mzizi/*. It was never published to npm and shipped manually. The rewrite makes it a standalone surface at its own domain, and makes it Rust: the framework doctrine is that the UI is Astro and underneath is Rust first, TypeScript second, with no third UI framework. That also separates the two owners cleanly — the Mzizi framework serves mzizi.dev and api.mzizi.dev; the console serves app.mzizi.dev.

Ported by contract, not translated

The governing rule of the port: a faithful port of a broken component still compiles. Two of the five routes could not have been translated even in principle. Architecture called /architecture/frontend/axes and /architecture/frontend/layers. Both answer 410 Gone in production — checked, not assumed — and have done since the axis model was retired. So the route was rewritten against nodes, rungs and strands. Rungs are listed separately rather than as nodes with an empty backbone, because belonging to neither backbone is the fact the model turns on. See the helix. Tokens was described in the Svelte manifest as the “Five African Minerals” palette. There are seven. That naming was removed from the framework repository and guarded against there; the guard does not reach a separate repository, which is how the wrong count survived in a client. That last row matters most. A 410 and an empty registry looked identical, so a permanently broken route presented itself as “no data”.

Three envelope conventions

Measured against production rather than assumed — the API does not use one shape: Assuming a single convention decodes two of the three to nothing, and nothing renders as an empty page rather than as an error.

Verifying a client against the live API

The console’s test suite decodes captured live responses with its production types. That is a different claim from decoding fixtures the repository wrote itself, which prove only that the types are self-consistent — the Svelte client’s types were self-consistent and wrong.
The captures are excluded from formatting on purpose: reformatting them would turn bytes the API sent into fixtures the repository wrote.

Size is a deployability requirement

After wasm-opt -Oz, the island bundle is about 1.0 MiB — roughly 921 KiB of WebAssembly plus 74 KiB of JavaScript and 25 KiB of snippets. Optimisation is not a nicety here: an unoptimised debug build of the crate is a single 39.5 MB file, and Cloudflare’s per-asset limit is 25 MiB on every plan, so it would be rejected at deploy. The build script warns loudly rather than silently when wasm-opt is missing, because skipping it does not produce a slightly larger bundle — it produces one that may not deploy at all.
