Moltis doesn't compile.

If you follow the build and run instructions from the getting started section of the README.md it fails in many ways indicating that the devs have not checked their instructions.

These instructions are:
git clone https://github.com/moltis-org/moltis.git
cd moltis
cargo build --release
cargo run --release

Firstly, you get an error :"error: couldn't read /home/moltis/moltis/crates/tools/../../target/wasm32-wasip2/release/moltis_wasm_web_search.wasm: No such file or directory (os error 2):

This can be fixed by running the command:
"cargo build --target wasm32-wasip2 -p moltis-wasm-calc -p moltis-wasm-web-fetch -p moltis-wasm-web-search --release"

Secondly you get an error: error: couldn't read crates/web/src/assets/style.css: No such file or directory (os error 2)

This can be fixed by:
cd crates/web/src/assets
ln -s css/style.css ./
then cd - and running cargo build --release

Thirdly you get the error: "error: cargo run could not determine which binary to run. Use the --bin option to specify a binary, or the default-run manifest key.
available binaries: moltis, moltis-courier, moltis-wasm-precompile"

I don't know how to fix that error other than manually copying the moltis binary into and executable path.

Then after running moltis gateway, you can't login with Firefox after the initial setup but you can with Brave.
With Firefox it keeps asking you for your password over and over. In my setup Moltis is on it's own PC, the LLM server is on another PC, and my Desktop/browser is on yet a 3rd. PC. Moltis is biased towards everything being on the same PC.

Also there is no Provider setup option for a llama-server on the LAN, in fact local LAN server support is poor the devs want you to use cloud providers.
Problem with that is if you are using Moltis to help with contract programming, everything has to be local due to NDA requirements not to share code of data with a 3rd. party.
This also effects many other professions eg. lawyers and medical both have client confidentiality laws they have to adhere to. The bottom line is that LAN based LLM configurations should be taken more seriously.

Other than that Moltis tends to work better than the other agents I have tried,being: Nanobot.Picoclaw,Zeroclaw, and CoPaw in my LAN based setup. The others have a weak web ui or are full of bugs.

Yeah the building changed since, just build-css for example has to be executed, will update those instructions.

The new build instructions in the Readme still fail to compile they are:

git clone https://github.com/moltis-org/moltis.git
cd moltis
just build-css # Build Tailwind CSS for the web UI
just build-release # Build in release mode
cargo run --release --bin moltis

• error: couldn't read /home/moltis/moltis/crates/tools/../../target/wasm32-wasip2/release/moltis_wasm_web_search.wasm: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Same fix as in my first post.

After the build completes and the gateway runs, trying to login to the web UI fails with a repeated request for password when using Firefox browser, but logs in successfully using the Brave browser.
