Replace ten near-identical `block_on` helpers (one per SDK module) with a single shared `sdk::bridge::block_on(service: &str, fut)`. The helper takes a service-prefix string and a future whose error implements Display, so each module's `KvError`/`DocsError`/etc. still self-formats. Migrated: - kv, docs, pubsub, users, dead_letters, secrets, files, email - queue.rs has two helpers; the inline-shaped enqueue path and the block_on_u64 (u64→i64) wrapper are left in place — the latter could use the shared helper but the local form is one less call site per finding overlap. Will revisit on a later pass if needed. - http.rs is intentionally NOT migrated: it has per-variant error mapping via `map_http_err` that the generic helper can't express. Net: -218 / +97 lines across the 9 migrated files. Single source of truth for the runtime-handle lookup and error wrapping. AUDIT.md anchor: F-Q-002.

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
