Cohesa
Chat, issues, documents, and connected project context in one workspace
A self-hosted workplace application for team chat, issues, documents, and search. An opt-in native suite mode also shows selected project context from explicitly configured source adapters.

Requirements
- Local infrastructure, database migrations, and OIDC configuration
- Explicit BFF and source-grant configuration for native suite project context
Things to know
- Native suite mode currently exposes the selected-project surface; legacy chat, issues, and documents use a separate session path
- Local fixtures and automated tests do not establish a ready owner installation or full source coverage
Vision
Engineering teams move between conversations, issues, documents, and project decisions. Cohesa brings chat, issues, documents, and search into one self-hosted application. An opt-in native suite view can display the selected project and its source-owned context when its session and source grants are configured.
The Problem
Moving among separate tools makes it harder to keep a project's conversation and source decisions together. Cohesa's current implementation offers a common workspace application and a bounded selected-project context path.
Key Differentiators
- Workspace tools together: chat, issues, documents, and search have application surfaces backed by Cohesa's services.
- Explicit selected-project context: the native suite path resolves a configured binding under the current session and displays source-owned projections. A binding is a selector, not an access grant.
- Current limit: native suite mode does not yet make every legacy surface available under the same session. A package mapping alone does not establish an active cross-app entity graph.
