Remediate the HIGH and security-relevant findings from the 2026-07-11 audit. H1 — the per-env approval gate is now server-authoritative. The governing project is resolved from the target node's nearest-claimed ancestor (`governing_env_policy`/`_tree` + `governing_project_id` + `ProjectRepository::get_environments_by_id`), independent of the client-supplied `[project]`. Omitting or spoofing the project block can no longer skip a gate the owning project established; a to-create group resolves its declared parent's chain so a fresh subtree node inherits the gate. Fails closed on any read error. H2 — the API-key prefix slice (`&rest[..8]`) is now the boundary-safe `rest.get(..8)`, so an attacker-supplied multibyte bearer can't panic the request task (unauthenticated per-request DoS). Regression test added. C1 — admin sessions gain an absolute lifetime cap (migration 0070, `PICLOUD_SESSION_ABSOLUTE_TTL_HOURS`, default 30d): `lookup` filters it, `touch` clamps the sliding bump to it, so a continuously-used or stolen-but-warm token self-expires. Mirrors the data-plane app-user cap. C2 — `Cache-Control: no-store` on the login and API-key-mint responses (the two that return a raw credential), so a proxy/CDN/browser cache can't retain it. B8 — file downloads are header-safe: `sanitize_stored_filename` guarantees a valid `HeaderValue` (no panic on a control-char name) and BOTH the per-app and group download paths now set attachment + `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` + a restrictive CSP, closing a group-path stored-XSS gap. Also folds in the server-side plan-warning plumbing (`plan_warnings`, `PlanResult::warnings`) and the `app_only_reject` message helper that the CLI plan-preview change builds on, plus operator security notes (reads-open shared- topic SSE; the `--env` label is advisory, not a boundary).

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
