Scripts can now answer at user-chosen paths (e.g. /greet, /greet/:name,
/webhooks/*), on user-chosen hosts (strict or *.example.com wildcards),
on user-chosen methods. The internal /api/v1/execute/{id} endpoint
stays as the always-available ID-based bypass.
Routing rules (decided in design with the user; see chat history):
Path kinds:
exact /greet literal
prefix /greet/* strict-subtree; stored as "/greet/";
does NOT match bare /greet (add an
exact route for that case)
param /users/:id :name captures one whole segment;
mid-segment colons are rejected;
{name} is reserved for a future SDK
Host kinds:
any no Host header constraint
strict sub.example.com literal match (case-insensitive)
wildcard *.example.com suffix match; multi-level subdomains OK
Within-kind uniqueness:
two routes of the same kind that could match the same request
conflict at config time. Algorithm (orchestrator_core::routing::
conflict):
exact: literal equality
prefix: literal equality (longer-prefix coexists; longer wins
at request time)
param: same segment count + same literals at every
literal-vs-literal position (the user's example:
:id vs :userId at same shape is a conflict)
Request-time precedence:
exact > param > prefix
among non-exact: more leading-literal segments wins
tie: param > prefix (more constrained)
within prefix: longest matching prefix wins
host bucket: strict > wildcard (longer suffix) > any; fall through
to less specific buckets when path doesn't match
Reserved path prefixes: /api/, /admin/, /healthz, /version
Routes that look invalid at config time return 422 with the precise
parse error; conflicting routes return 409 with the conflicting route
in the body (so the dashboard can render the conflict inline).
What landed:
* 0003_routes.sql — routes table (host_kind, host, host_param_name,
path_kind, path, method, script_id) with UNIQUE index on the
literal binding tuple. Schema 2 → 3.
* shared::Route / HostKind / PathKind — flat storage shape that
crosses wire boundaries cleanly.
* orchestrator_core::routing — four sub-modules, all unit-tested:
pattern.rs (16 tests) parse + validate + display
conflict.rs (12 tests) within-kind overlap predicate
matcher.rs (12 tests) runtime dispatch (specificity-aware)
table.rs Arc<RwLock<Vec<CompiledRoute>>>
shared by manager (writes) and
orchestrator (reads); atomic replace
after each admin write
* manager-core::route_admin — five new admin endpoints under
/api/v1/admin:
POST /scripts/{id}/routes create
GET /scripts/{id}/routes list per script
DELETE /routes/{route_id} delete (refreshes table)
POST /routes:check pre-flight conflict check
(powers the dashboard's
live conflict warning)
POST /routes:match synthetic URL → matched
route + extracted params
(powers the dashboard's
match-preview tool)
Stored path strings stay raw (user-typed); normalization
happens only in the in-memory CompiledRoute so re-parses are
idempotent.
* orchestrator_core::api::user_routes_router — fallback handler
mounted in picloud after the system routes. Reads Host /
method / path / query from the request, dispatches via the
table, builds an ExecRequest with params/query/rest filled,
calls the executor, writes to the log sink. 10 MiB body cap.
* executor-core::ctx (SDK 1.0 → 1.1) — adds
ctx.request.params (map of named-param captures)
ctx.request.query (parsed query string)
ctx.request.rest (suffix for prefix routes; "" otherwise)
All three are always present (empty when not applicable) so
scripts can read them unconditionally.
* picloud::build_app — now async; loads routes at startup,
populates the shared table, mounts route_admin_router under
/api/v1/admin alongside the script CRUD, and the user-routes
fallback at the app root.
* caddy/Caddyfile + Caddyfile.prod widened: anything not
/healthz, /version, /api/v1/admin/*, /api/v1/execute/*,
/api/* (404 sunset), or /admin/* (dashboard) → picloud.
* Dashboard moves to /admin/* via SvelteKit paths.base. Its
internal Caddy strips the prefix and serves with SPA fallback.
All in-app links use $app/paths. The dashboard URL is now
http://localhost:8000/admin/ — one-time break for the new
URL freedom users gained.
* PICLOUD_PUBLIC_BASE_URL env var, exposed via /version so the
dashboard renders full URLs for routes regardless of the
operator's external port / TLS setup.
* memory_limit_mb stays in the schema, still v1.3+ advisory.
Verified live through Caddy:
/version → schema 3, sdk 1.1, public_base_url
GET /admin/ → 200, dashboard HTML containing "PiCloud"
POST /api/v1/admin/scripts → 201
POST .../scripts/{id}/routes (path=/greet/:name) → 201
GET /greet/alice?lang=en → 200 {"name":"alice","q":"en"}
POST conflicting route → 409 with conflicting_route body
POST /admin/foo route → 422 "reserved"
POST /api/v1/admin/routes:match → matched + params extracted
GET /unbound-path → 404 JSON
Tests:
* 40 routing unit tests (pattern + conflict + matcher tables)
* 14 executor-core unit tests (one new for ctx.request.params/
query/rest exposure)
* 32 integration tests (10 new for routing CRUD + dispatch +
conflict + reserved + specificity tie-break + match preview +
delete invalidation + /version returns public_base_url)
* default cargo test --workspace stays green; opt-in via
DATABASE_URL + --include-ignored for the integration suite
Bumps: schema 2 → 3; SDK 1.0 → 1.1; product 0.3.0 → 0.4.0.

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, routes CRUD + check + match, logs, config)/api/v1/execute/{id}— orchestrator (data plane: invoke a script by ID, always-available bypass)/admin/*— dashboard SPA (SvelteKit,paths.base = '/admin')/healthz— liveness (string"ok")/version— every compatibility-surface version +public_base_url(JSON)- everything else — orchestrator's user-route matcher: user scripts bind to arbitrary paths via
POST /api/v1/admin/scripts/{id}/routes; if no route matches, picloud returns 404 with a JSON error.
Reserved path prefixes (rejected at route creation): /api/, /admin/, /healthz, /version.
Caddy fronts everything. Same Caddyfile shape works for single-node and cluster — only upstream targets change.

Working Rules
- Honor the three-service boundary. Don't reach across
*-corecrates. Iforchestrator-coreneeds something frommanager-core, define a trait insharedand inject the impl. executor-corehas no Postgres dependency. Data-plane services (kv, docs, users — v1.1+) come in via injectedServiceProvidertraits.- Database writes only from
manager-core.orchestrator-corereads scripts (cached);executor-coredoesn't touch the DB. - MVP builds only the
picloudall-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.
