MechaCat02 50205e7b7e feat(shared-queues): materialized competing consumers + dispatcher branch (D3.2)
The consumption side of shared durable queues:
- Thread `shared` through BundleTrigger::Queue + QueueTriggerSpec + the
  trigger identity; validate_bundle_for requires a shared queue on a group
  to name a declared kind='queue' collection (a shared queue on an app is
  rejected by the existing app-owner shared guard).
- materialize: a shared queue template materializes a consumer per
  descendant (the M5 one-consumer-slot skip is bypassed for shared —
  competing consumers are intended; each descendant gets one copy).
- dispatcher: ActiveQueueConsumer gains shared_group (from the materialized
  copy's source template via LEFT JOIN); dispatch_one_queue +
  handle_queue_failure route claim/ack/nack/terminal to the group store
  when shared_group is Some, via q_claim/q_ack/q_nack/q_terminal helpers. A
  group claim is normalized to a ClaimedMessage under the consuming app so
  the handler path is unchanged; the reclaim task also drains the group
  store. Exhausted shared messages are dropped (no group dead-letter store
  yet — documented deferral).

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
