Adds the GitLab-style single-parent group tree above apps: migration
0047 (groups + group_members + apps.group_id NOT NULL/RESTRICT with
single-root backfill), tree repos with an ancestor-walk cycle guard
under a coarse structural advisory lock, slug-freeze and structure_version,
hierarchy-aware RBAC (effective role = MAX across app membership + every
ancestor group, resolved live so revocation is immediate), new
Group{Read,Write,Admin}/InstanceCreateGroup caps that bound API keys
cannot obtain, plus `pic groups` and a dashboard group tree/detail/members.
Verified before merge: fmt/clippy(-D warnings)/check clean; manager-core
378 unit tests pass (incl. hierarchy authz + group repos); dashboard
npm run check 0 errors; check-versioning OK (47 migrations sequential).
New CLI groups journeys pass against a live DB — cycle guard
(reparent-into-descendant rejected), delete=RESTRICT, and
inherited-group-admin deploy + live revoke. The 6 failing logs/scripts/roles
journeys are the same pre-existing format drift on main, not regressions.

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
