Migration 0033 widens topics.auth_mode CHECK to include 'session'
alongside 'public' and 'token'.
TopicAuthMode enum gains a Session variant (as_str + from_db
extended uniformly).
RealtimeAuthorityImpl now takes Arc<dyn UsersService> as a third
constructor arg. The Session branch of authorize_subscribe
delegates to UsersService::verify_session_for_realtime(app_id,
token):
* Returns Some(user) → allow. The service bumps the sliding TTL
on success.
* Returns None → Unauthorized.
* Defense-in-depth: even though verify_session_for_realtime
already enforces cross-app isolation, the branch re-checks
user.app_id == app_id.
Tests added (4 new cases): valid session token allows; missing
token is Unauthorized; wrong token is Unauthorized; cross-app
session token is Unauthorized. All 12 realtime_authority tests
pass.
Dashboard: TopicAuthMode TypeScript union widened to include
'session'; the topic create + edit forms gain a third radio option
labeled "session — requires a per-app user session minted by
users::login (v1.1.8)".
picloud binary: construction order reshuffled so users is built
before realtime_authority. app_secrets_repo is now .clone()'d into
the pubsub realtime wiring so the original Arc can be re-used by
realtime_authority.

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
