The per-env approval policy was applier-supplied — a hand-crafted request
that omitted `project.environments` was ungated, and flipping a gate to
`confirm = false` in the same request un-gated it. Persist the policy
server-side and enforce against `persisted ∪ declared`.
- Migration 0067: `project_environments (project_id, env_name, confirm)`,
CASCADE on the project. Written declaratively (delete-then-insert) inside
`upsert_project_tx`, same tx as the project row + node claim.
- `ProjectRepository::get_environments_by_slug` (read side) +
`ApplyService::effective_env_policy` union the persisted policy with the
request's declared one (confirm if EITHER says so — monotonic).
- `env_gate_check` now evaluates the effective policy; the three handlers load
it before the gate. `plan.approvals_required` is the effective gated set, so
CI sees a persisted gate even when the manifest omits it.
- The union rule closes both bypasses: an omitted policy still trips a
persisted gate, and an ungating apply must itself pass the gate (the
declarative replace then takes effect next time) — TOCTOU-safe.

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
