The runtime half — suppressions now actually decline inherited templates. - Triggers (live, per-event): a correlated NOT EXISTS anti-join (TRIGGER_SUPPRESSION_ANTIJOIN) appended to all four dispatch match queries (list_matching_kv/docs/files + the pubsub fan-out). It excludes a group-owned trigger whose handler script name the firing app suppresses; `$1` is the firing app (already bound), and the `t.group_id IS NOT NULL` guard keeps an app's OWN trigger unsuppressable. - Routes (rebuild-time): compile_effective_routes takes a `suppressed_paths: &HashSet<(AppId, path)>` and drops an inherited (`depth > 0`) route at a suppressed path — the binding 404s. rebuild_route_table loads the set via a new RouteRepository::list_route_suppressions, so every existing rebuild edge (route CRUD, apply, tree mutations) already applies it. No new invalidation edges; the marker CASCADEs on app delete. Pinned by tests/template_suppression.rs (live DB): a suppressing app matches NEITHER the inherited trigger NOR route; a sibling that did not suppress still inherits both; the app's OWN trigger on the suppressed handler still fires (suppression is inheritance-only).

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
