Open the declarative path so a [group] can declare route TEMPLATES.
- manifest.rs: drop the blanket "[group] cannot declare [[routes]]"
rejection (routes join the event trigger templates a group may own).
- apply_service:
- validate_bundle_for: remove the group routes rejection. A group
route's `script` is validated as binding a group-owned ENDPOINT via
`resolve_inherited_targets_for(Group)`, now extended to scan
bundle.routes as well as bundle.triggers — so a template binding the
group's own (declared or pre-existing) endpoint resolves, and one
pointing at a module or a missing name is a 422.
- insert_bundle_route takes a ScriptOwner (was app-only): a group node
writes a group_id route TEMPLATE, an app node an app-owned route.
- load_current(Group) loads the group's own routes via list_for_group
so re-apply is a NoOp and the template is prune-able.
Host-claim validation stays App-only (already guarded) — a template has
no single app; a descendant serves it on whatever host it claims (so
templates use host_kind = any in practice).

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
