CI ran `cargo test --workspace` with no `--include-ignored`, so it executed 927 tests and skipped 237 — every DB-backed integration test is `#[ignore = "needs DATABASE_URL..."]`, which covers ALL of api.rs, ALL of authz.rs, and the entire CLI journey suite. The isolation and RBAC tests existed but never ran (AUDIT.md F-Q-014, logged and never remediated). CI provides Postgres, so it can run them. Three things had to be right for that to go green: - **`--all-targets`, not a bare workspace run.** `-- --include-ignored` un-ignores not just `#[ignore]` tests but also ` ```ignore ` DOCTESTS, which are illustrative pseudocode that does not compile. `--all-targets` runs lib/bins/ integration tests but excludes doctests (the same reason clippy uses it); a separate `--doc` step runs the doctests without the flag. Structural, so a future pseudocode doctest can't silently break CI either. - **The CLI journeys are their own step.** They spawn a real picloud whose dispatcher/orchestrator claim loops are global by design; run concurrently with the manager-core suites on the shared database they would claim those suites' outbox and workflow rows. Sequential steps keep the live server off the DB while the other suites use it. The step also rebuilds `-p picloud` first (the harness execs the prebuilt binary) and sets the dev-mode env the server needs. - **A higher `max_connections`.** `#[sqlx::test]` pools are lazy, but mass-parallel test startup briefly opens many at once (each test creates its own throwaway database); on a many-core box that transient spike exceeded the default 100 and Postgres answered "sorry, too many clients already". Steady-state peak is only ~26; 500 absorbs the spike with room to spare. Serving the app needs nothing like this many. (This is the local compose ceiling; a small CI runner's default 100 has ample headroom for its lower parallelism.) Also fixes the test the CI gap had let rot: api.rs asserted `v["schema"] == 66` with a hand-bump comment, and since nothing ran it, it sat broken from migration 0066 to 0073. It now asserts `/version` surfaces the live constants (`migrations::latest_version()`, `SDK_VERSION`) — the wiring — while value drift stays caught by schema_snapshot + check-versioning. A constant hand-synced to another constant is a chore, not a test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
