`pic plan` now records a fingerprint of the live state it diffed against; `pic apply` replays it and the server refuses (HTTP 409) if the app changed underneath the reviewed plan — the §4.2 "apply exactly what you reviewed" guarantee, in its content-addressed form (no migration, no changes to interactive write paths). Server (manager-core): - `state_token(CurrentState)`: deterministic FNV-1a fingerprint over what the diff keys on — script name+version (version bumps on any edit), route identity+binding/attrs, trigger membership+enabled, secret names. Order-independent; a collision can only yield a false "unchanged", never a false refusal. - `plan` returns it (flattened onto the plan JSON, so the wire stays additive); `apply` takes an optional `expected_token` and, under the apply lock before any write, returns `StateMoved` (409) on mismatch. CLI: - `.picloud/` link state (`linkstate`): `pic plan` writes the token scoped to the app slug; `pic apply` replays it, then clears it on success (the token is single-use — the next apply re-plans). `--force` skips the check; apply with no recorded plan still works standalone (today's behavior). `.picloud/` is already gitignored by `pic init`. The tree-structure version (the other half of §4.2's counter) stays a deliberate no-op until groups exist — it only guards reparent/structural moves, which don't exist single-app. Tested: state_token unit test (stable/order-independent/sensitive) + a staleness journey (plan → out-of-band deploy → apply refuses → --force applies); manager-core lib 363 + cli bins 31 + 13 journeys green; clippy -D warnings clean.

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
