MechaCat02 0473d295af feat: versioning scheme — lockstep crates + four independent surfaces
Establish how versions are assigned, bumped, and checked across the
five things that actually change for users: the product itself, the
Rhai SDK, the HTTP API, the database schema, and the inter-service
wire (reserved for cluster mode). Crates ship in lockstep — drift
between picloud-shared and picloud-manager-core is fiction since
they always release together — but surfaces are versioned and
checked at their natural boundaries.

  * docs/versioning.md is the authoritative reference: what gets a
    version, the per-surface compatibility rules, how each surface
    bump cascades to the product version (loose pre-1.0, strict
    post-1.0), and the five enforcement mechanisms (lockstep at
    compile time, /version at runtime, golden SDK contract tests,
    migration replay, CI guardrail).

  * shared::version exposes four constants — PRODUCT_VERSION (from
    CARGO_PKG_VERSION), SDK_VERSION ("1.0"), API_VERSION (1),
    WIRE_VERSION (1). Scripts read SDK_VERSION as ctx.sdk_version
    and can feature-detect against it.

  * Workspace inheritance: `[workspace.package] version = "0.2.0"`
    is the single point of truth; every crate uses
    `version.workspace = true`. dashboard/package.json mirrors.

  * Routes move to /api/v1/* — both control plane
    (/api/v1/admin/*) and data plane (/api/v1/execute/{id}).
    Picloud composes them via a single `/api/v{API_VERSION}` nest,
    so the next major is a copy-paste-and-bump. Caddyfile (dev and
    prod) routes /api/v1/* to picloud and 404s any other /api/*
    so old clients fail loudly instead of getting the SPA shell.
    Dashboard client + integration tests updated.

  * /healthz remains a plain "ok" string (k8s probes); /version is
    the new JSON endpoint returning every surface version in one
    place — product, sdk, api, schema (from
    manager-core::migrations::latest_version), wire.

  * Reasonable bump rationale: API path changes are breaking by
    definition, so 0.1.0 → 0.2.0 (pre-1.0 license to bump minor on
    any breaking change). SDK starts at 1.0 because scripts depend
    on it more strictly than the product depends on its internals;
    we'd rather promise SDK stability early than pull the rug.

Verified live:
  * /healthz → "ok" (plain text)
  * /version → {product:"0.2.0",sdk:"1.0",api:1,schema:1,wire:1}
  * /api/v1/admin/scripts → 200
  * /api/admin/scripts → 404 with error JSON (sunset major)
  * Script can read ctx.sdk_version → "1.0"
  * All 14 integration tests pass against new paths
  * 11 executor-core unit tests pass (added one for sdk_version
    exposure with the major.minor format invariant)

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project

PiCloud is a self-hosted, event-driven serverless compute platform. Users upload Rhai scripts, get HTTP endpoints. Optimized for solo-dev / consumer hardware (single node MVP, multi-node cluster in v1.3+).

Authoritative design: serverless_cloud_blueprint.md. The blueprint is a living document — when architecture decisions are made in conversation that contradict it, treat the latest decision as truth and update the blueprint.

Three-Service Architecture

The platform splits into three logical services, each backed by a *-core library crate so the same logic runs in single-process MVP mode and split-process cluster mode:

Service Role Library crate
Manager Control plane: script CRUD, scheduling/cron, dashboard backend, config. Single-writer to Postgres. manager-core
Orchestrator Per-node ingress: receives HTTP (later SMTP, queue) events, resolves script, dispatches to local executor. Stateless. orchestrator-core
Executor Per-node compute: runs Rhai scripts in a sandboxed engine. Stateless. executor-core

In MVP, all three run in one process (picloud binary). In cluster mode, each runs as its own binary on each node, with one manager total and one orchestrator + executor per node.

Key boundary: the orchestrator never imports executor-core directly — it depends on an ExecutorClient trait. The local impl calls executor-core in-process; the remote impl is an HTTP client. Same pattern keeps cluster mode a swap, not a rewrite.

Path Scheme

Versioned API surfaces live under /api/v{N}/.... See docs/versioning.md for the full scheme.

  • /api/v1/admin/* — manager (control plane: script CRUD, logs, config)
  • /api/v1/execute/{id} — orchestrator (data plane: invoke a script by ID)
  • /exec/* — orchestrator (data plane: invoke scripts at custom paths, v1.1+). Unversioned — the contract is user-defined per script.
  • /healthz — liveness (string "ok")
  • /version — versions of every compatibility surface (JSON)
  • / and static assets — dashboard (SvelteKit static build, served by Caddy)

Caddy fronts everything. Same Caddyfile shape works for single-node and cluster — only upstream targets change.

Tech Stack

  • Rust 1.92+ workspace, pinned via rust-toolchain.toml
  • Axum for HTTP, Tokio async, sqlx for Postgres
  • Rhai embedded scripting (in executor-core)
  • PostgreSQL 15+ with pgcrypto and (v1.1+) hstore
  • SvelteKit dashboard, static adapter, CodeMirror 6 for the script editor
  • Caddy 2 reverse proxy (auto-HTTPS in prod)
  • Docker Compose for dev and single-node prod

Common Commands

# Rust workspace
cargo check --workspace
cargo test --workspace
cargo fmt --all
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings

# Run the all-in-one binary (MVP entry point)
cargo run -p picloud

# Run a single test
cargo test -p executor-core sandbox::tests::respects_operation_budget

# Dashboard (from dashboard/)
npm run dev
npm run build
npm run check

# Full stack (once docker-compose.yml exists)
docker compose up
docker compose down -v   # reset Postgres data

Working Rules

  • Honor the three-service boundary. Don't reach across *-core crates. If orchestrator-core needs something from manager-core, define a trait in shared and inject the impl.
  • executor-core has no Postgres dependency. Data-plane services (kv, docs, users — v1.1+) come in via injected ServiceProvider traits.
  • Database writes only from manager-core. orchestrator-core reads scripts (cached); executor-core doesn't touch the DB.
  • MVP builds only the picloud all-in-one binary. The three split binaries exist as skeletons so the crate boundaries stay honest; flesh them out only when cluster mode is being implemented.
  • Trunk-based dev. See docs/git-workflow.md. No long-lived branches. Feature flags for incomplete work.

Out of MVP

Queue triggers, cron triggers, SMTP ingress, KV / docs / email / users / HTTP SDKs in scripts, interceptors, workflows, function-to-function invoke(), auth, multi-tenancy, secrets, metrics dashboard. All deferred to v1.1+ per the blueprint. Don't pre-build for them — but don't make decisions that close the door on them either.
