Closes 4 dashboard hardening findings and 5 of the Lows from the audit. Dashboard hardening: - Subtabs no longer re-fetch the app via api.apps.get on every page load. users/files/dead-letters drop the fetch outright (the variable was set but never read); queues + queues/[name] now consume the layout's AppContext via getContext for the page title. The layout's reloadApp() owns the historical-slug redirect — subtab-local redirect blocks are removed so there's no race. - The global :global(details > summary::before) chevron is now scoped to details.chevron. The script editor's "Advanced sandbox" details and the inbound-email-shape help-text both opt in; the script exec-list logs no longer inherit a spurious chevron. - deriveTab now matches the path segment by anchored ===, so a future /apps/<slug>/queues-archived route wouldn't activate the queues tab. Lows cherry-pick: - ExecError gains Serialize/Deserialize derives + a snake_case tag so RemoteExecutorClient (cluster mode v1.3+) can round-trip the variant. - triggers_api rejects queue triggers whose visibility_timeout_secs is below the dispatcher's per-message executor budget; with no minimum the reclaim task races the handler and the queue silently double-delivers. Existing test using 5s updated to 30s. - New migration 0040: execution_logs.script_id cascade switched from ON DELETE CASCADE to ON DELETE SET NULL so deleting a script no longer wipes the forensic history that motivated the delete. - New migration 0041: dead_letters composite index on (app_id, created_at DESC) so the "list all" dashboard view stops falling back to seqscan + sort when unresolved=false. - Schema snapshot re-blessed. Deferred to v1.2: the ExecRequest principal serde(skip) marker (documented in-place; the cluster-mode PR will introduce the wire-safe snapshot at that point) and the `pic --help` mention of `picloud admin reset-password` (one-line follow-up).

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
