Review #3 (LOW). `divergence_preview` (plan path) compared parent slugs case-sensitively from its own `get_by_slug`, while the apply path (`reconcile_group_structure_tx`) compares resolved parent ids. On a mixed-case parent slug the two could disagree — `pic plan` reporting `diverged` while `pic apply` hard-errors "parent does not exist". `resolve_existing_group_ids` becomes `load_existing_groups`, returning the full `Group` rows it already loads; `plan_tree` derives the id map from them and passes the map to `divergence_preview`, which now reads each node's own row without a per-node `get_by_slug` (kills the N+1), resolves an in-tree parent's slug from the same map, and compares parent slugs case-insensitively so the preview agrees with the apply path's id-based check.

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
