Closes 4 audit findings: - Route TS interface now carries dispatch_mode (sync|async). Backend's shared::route::Route has had this since 0012_routes_dispatch_mode but the TS client silently always created sync routes and the list display dropped the field. Add a Dispatch select to the new-route form and an "ASYNC" badge in the route list. - api.files.downloadUrl pointed to a never-registered backend endpoint. The dashboard's live Download button was hitting 405. Add the GET handler (AppFilesRead + FilesRepo::head + FilesRepo::get, Content- Disposition: inline) at the same path that delete already used. - F-T-003: adminRequest's 401 handler called goto(login) without a recursion cap. If the login endpoint itself returned 401, the wrapper looped until browser nav limits. Track consecutive 401s within a 10s window and hard-reload to /login?reason=auth-loop after the third, showing the user an explanatory banner. Any 2xx resets the counter. - Login flow now honors a ?returnTo= query parameter. adminRequest and the root layout both append the current location when redirecting to /login; the login page validates the value is a same-origin admin path (no open-redirect) and goto's there after successful sign-in.

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
