Remediation after an independent review of the two feature commits. pic init: - Fix the headline `pic init --dir <new-dir>` flow: slug derivation used `canonicalize()`, which fails on a not-yet-created directory → empty slug → bail. Derive from the path's own final component first, falling back to canonicalize only for `.`. Add a test that exercised the gap (the existing tests all passed an explicit slug). - `ensure_gitignored` no longer overwrites an existing-but-unreadable `.gitignore` (only a genuinely-absent file is treated as empty). Bound-plan staleness: - Token trigger coverage now mirrors the diff exactly via `current_trigger_identity`: dead-letter triggers (which the diff ignores and the manifest can't represent) and the currently-inert `enabled` flag are no longer hashed, so an out-of-band dead-letter change can't force a spurious `--force`. Add a test. - Correct two overclaiming comments: the check shares the diff's pool-read apply-vs-interactive-write window (it is not tx-scoped), and the token deliberately mirrors the diff's inputs. - `.picloud/` self-ignores via a `*` `.gitignore` written alongside the plan token, so projects created with `pic pull`/`plan` (not just `init`) keep it out of git. - `clear_plan` is now app-scoped: it won't discard a token recorded for a different app sharing the directory. Tested: manager-core lib 364 + cli bins 31 + 14 project-tool journeys green; clippy -D warnings clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
