MechaCat02 05373814b2 fix(stateful-templates): serialize the materialization reconciler (review)
The reconciler read `should` and `existing` in separate statements under READ
COMMITTED, and its queue one-consumer check wasn't locked — so two concurrent
reconcilers (e.g. two parallel app-creates) could (a) spuriously DELETE a valid
materialized cron copy when one committed a copy between the other's two reads
(a lost copy self-healing only on the next mutation), or (b) both pass the
queue slot check and double-fill a consumer slot. Take a fixed xact-scoped
advisory lock (REMATERIALIZE_LOCK_KEY) at the top of the reconcile so each pass
is atomic w.r.t. the others. Reconciles are infrequent + fast, so serializing
is cheap; the ON CONFLICT guard stays as defense in depth.

Found by the M5 review. Pinned by the existing stateful_templates test + the
full journey suite (which previously flaked on the race).

PiCloud

A lightweight, self-hosted, event-driven serverless compute platform. Upload a Rhai script, get an HTTP endpoint. Designed to run on a single modest server with no idle CPU cost, and to scale out to a small cluster when you need it.

Status: Phase 1 — MVP scaffolding in progress.

The authoritative design lives in serverless_cloud_blueprint.md.

Why

Existing serverless platforms are either cloud-locked, heavyweight, or both. PiCloud aims for the opposite end of the spectrum: one binary, one database, one reverse proxy — running on hardware you already own.

Architecture (one paragraph)

PiCloud splits into three logical services — manager (control plane: scripts, schedules, dashboard), orchestrator (per-node event ingress and dispatch), and executor (per-node Rhai sandbox) — each backed by a *-core Rust library. In MVP they run in a single process; in cluster mode they run as three binaries with one manager and one orchestrator + executor per node. Caddy fronts everything; PostgreSQL is the single source of truth.

See CLAUDE.md for working notes and serverless_cloud_blueprint.md for the full design.

Quick Start

Coming as scaffolding lands. For now:

# Rust toolchain (pinned via rust-toolchain.toml)
cargo check --workspace

# Run the all-in-one MVP binary (once main.rs is wired up)
cargo run -p picloud
