Carry the resolved script's owner (its defining node) from dispatch into the executor so `import` resolution can be lexical (§5.5). The executing app (`app_id`) stays the SDK isolation boundary; `script_owner` is a separate axis — the lexical origin for imports. - `ExecRequest.script_owner: Option<ScriptOwner>` (serde default; `None` falls back to `App(app_id)` in the engine for old payloads / cluster wire). - `ScriptOwner` gains `Serialize`/`Deserialize` for the wire. - The engine computes `default_origin` and hands it to the resolver (used fully in C3; the resolve() lookup already uses it). - Every dispatch site sets it from the resolved `Script.owner()`: the 4 dispatcher arms (queue/trigger/http/invoke_async, via a new `ResolvedTrigger.script_owner`), the orchestrator id-bypass, and the `invoke()` SDK path (new `ResolvedScript.owner`, so a group script invoked by an app resolves imports from the group). Behaviour-preserving: app scripts still resolve `App(app_id)`; group scripts can't yet carry imports (lifted in C4). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
