Make the route layer owner-aware ahead of the live rebuild. `Route.app_id` becomes Option + a `group_id` (mirrors `Trigger`); `NewRoute` carries a `ScriptOwner` so the interactive API passes App and the reconcile can pass a group. `insert_route_tx` writes both owner columns; `RouteRow` selects `group_id` everywhere (the interactive delete/list 404 a group template, which is apply-managed, not app-addressable). Adds the two repo methods the live rebuild + apply need: - `list_for_group` — a group's own route templates (apply diff, ls). - `list_effective` — the all-apps generalization of CHAIN_LEVELS_CTE: for every app, walk its ancestor chain and join routes owned at each level, tagging each with the effective (firing) app + the owner's chain depth. Runs only on a RouteTable rebuild, never per request; validated with EXPLAIN against the live schema. `compile_route` now takes the effective app_id explicitly (reused next commit for the per-app expansion); `compile_routes` skips group templates (no single app) — they materialize via the effective path. Runtime behavior is unchanged this commit: the table still rebuilds from `list_all`, and no group routes can exist yet (authoring lands in R4).

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
