Summary

RWX has introduced a web-based file tree navigator that lets users inspect files produced by a task, helping them configure output filters, although file contents are not yet displayed. Because RWX tasks use content-based caching based on manifests representing the full filesystem in a proprietary binary format, the company reused its performance-focused Go manifest-parsing code for the browser interface. By compiling the Go code to WebAssembly, RWX can send task manifests to the client, parse them locally, and provide fast file tree navigation while avoiding the need to reimplement the parsing logic in JavaScript.
