Start here. This issue is the handover for the orchestrator (Claude Code on the dev VM). The same text is in docs/HANDOVER.md on dev; if they differ, the file wins.

Branches on Forgejo: dev (all merged steps) and stream (step 11, built, not reviewed, 182eb06). Nothing else is unfinished.


You are taking over as orchestrator for infraternal, running in Claude Code on a freshly provisioned dev VM infraternal-dev as user kayg. Work from /mnt/hdd/infraternal/repo (branch dev), cloned from Forgejo ssh://git@o2.vpn.kayg.org:2222/kayg/infraternal.git. Before anything else, read CLAUDE.md (the operating contract; AGENTS.md links to it), DECISIONS.md, docs/PLAN.md (the step table), docs/DESIGN.md, docs/UI.md and docs/contracts.md. Also follow ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.

What infraternal is

An open-source (AGPL-3.0) control plane for Docker, Podman, Kubernetes and LXC containers, plus an SSH plane. It is self-hostable and will also be sold as a SaaS. It is operated equally by humans (web UI) and by AI agents (CLI/MCP). Stack: a single Rust binary (axum, bollard, russh, webauthn-rs, sqlx/SQLite) and a Svelte 5 static SPA embedded in it. Vocabulary is strict: "infraternal agent" means our daemon, "AI agent" means a model; never write "agent" alone.

How work is done (owner's rules)

  • You orchestrate; Codex does the work. Use the codex-subagents skill. Claude's built-in subagents are banned unless the owner explicitly asks.
  • Steps: all work is a numbered step in docs/PLAN.md. Each step gets one build, one independent review, one fix round and one verify. Anything left after that is labeled blocks-merge or later, then decided or filed. No open-ended loops.
  • Models:
    • Luna max is the default.
    • Sol medium is for building or reviewing security surfaces (auth, tunnel, grants, SSH, credential storage).
    • Never use the priority/fast tier.
  • Issues: every step and job has a Forgejo issue in kayg/infraternal. Jobs comment on their own issue with scripts/fj --host https://git.kayg.org; HTTPS works from this VM. Never close issues.
  • Unknowns are researched by a Codex job with web search and cited, never guessed.
  • UI jobs: always load emil-design-eng and the better-* skills. There is no mockup gate; docs/UI.md is the spec. Verify in real Chromium via Playwright at desktop and 390×844, light and dark. Safari/iOS is checked by the owner from a checklist; never drive the iOS Simulator.
  • Backend: performant code only, with real-engine tests (no mocks except failure injection) and a benchmark for every hot path. Performance numbers are reportable only from the perf-test VM (perf-test-vm skill); numbers from this VM are smoke only.
  • Merging: merge a step to dev only once its review and verify are recorded in its issue. main is updated only by the owner.

Job tooling on this VM

The tooling lives in the repo under scripts/jobs/ and scripts/provision-dev-vm installs it into /mnt/hdd/infraternal/bin/; see scripts/jobs/README.md.

  • Launch: /mnt/hdd/infraternal/bin/launch-job.sh <job> <model> <effort> <worktree> [search]. The prompt goes in /mnt/hdd/infraternal/jobs/<job>/prompt.md. Always prepend /mnt/hdd/infraternal/bin/preamble.md.
  • Wait: /mnt/hdd/infraternal/bin/wait-job.sh <job>, run with the Bash tool's run_in_background. The result lands in jobs/<job>/result.md and the log in log.txt.
  • Runner (run-job.sh):
    • Execs the real codex binary, found from the Nix wrapper's final exec line, under the name Codex <Model> <Effort> [job] so jobs are readable in ps.
    • Passes -c features.fast_mode=false.
    • Runs each job as a systemd user unit codex-<job>, so jobs survive disconnects.
    • Never edit it in place while jobs run; write a new file and mv it over.
  • Worktrees live under /mnt/hdd/infraternal/.worktrees/. Remove a step's worktrees right after it merges: each Rust target/ can reach 16 GB, and the disk filled up once. Check df -h /mnt/hdd before launching.
  • Prompt wording: Codex's cybersecurity filter killed a review whose prompt said "attack", "exploit" or "attacker". Word security reviews as defensive code audits with test cases, and have jobs append findings to a file under /mnt/hdd/infraternal/artifacts/<job>/ as they go.
  • Build reports often lack verbatim gate output. Re-run gates on the merge head yourself (in .worktrees/dev-check: scripts/verify fast|integration|browser|bench|all).
  • Merge conflicts in Cargo.toml: parallel branches add duplicate [workspace.dependencies] keys. Keep one (the newer version), then run cargo metadata to refresh Cargo.lock.
  • Owner's demo containers: containers labeled infraternal.demo=1 belong to the owner. Never remove them.

Environment

  • Rootful Docker, rootless Podman ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/podman/podman.sock) and rootful Podman (via sudo).
  • A test sshd on 127.0.0.1:2222, user sshtarget. Remote access to the VM is NetBird SSH only; never touch NetBird or the network config.
  • Tools come from the owner's dotfiles Home Manager config (kayg-linux): cargo (Rust 1.98, workspace minimum 1.89), bun, node, codex, rtk, code-review-graph, fj.
  • Preview: scripts/preview rebuilds dev into /mnt/hdd/infraternal/preview and restarts the infraternal-preview user unit on 0.0.0.0:7010. The owner opens it with netbird ssh -L 7010:127.0.0.1:7010 infraternal-dev.vpn.kayg.org, then http://localhost:7010; passkeys need localhost until HTTPS exists. The setup token is on the unit's stdout (journalctl --user -u infraternal-preview); never print it.
  • Git: origin is Forgejo over SSH with this VM's deploy key; push branches there and track work in the issues. If git ls-remote origin fails, the NetBird policy or the deploy key is missing: tell the owner, do not work around it.

State

Done and merged to dev (dev at 921b8fc or later):

  1. Decisions and docs.
  2. The dev VM.
  3. Wire/auth contract v3.3.
  4. Skeleton and gates.
  5. UI spec.
  6. crates/proto: types and the zero-copy frame codec (#2).
  7. UI foundation: tokens, primitives, the editable sidebar, the shell (#3).
  8. Docker/Podman engine (#4); 8b follow-ups: health and pod identity, bounded exec cleanup worker (#15).
  9. Storage and auth: SQLite, setup token, passkeys, rotating refresh tokens, roles and grants, idempotency, audit (#5).
  10. Front-end research (docs/research/front-end.md, #6).
  11. Containers and Hosts: REST, pages, sign-in, dashboard with real data (#8).
  12. SSH core, crates/ssh (#10).
  13. Preview (#14).

Built, not yet reviewed: step 11, the stream protocol (#7), branch stream on Forgejo at 182eb06: tickets, framing, flow control, priority, the grant-signed in-process relay, logs/events/exec (including persistent exec), the TypeScript client, and end-to-end tests on Docker and rootless Podman. It reported 28 gate steps PASS, 0 FAIL. On the old dev VM its smoke keystroke round trip under log load was p50 6.0 ms, p99 7.0 ms, above the 5 ms budget; the reportable number must come from the perf-test VM. Next: create its worktree, re-run its gates, then one independent review (Sol medium, defensive-audit wording), one fix round, one verify, merge. Read issue #7 first: it has the full history.

Next, in order (see the table in docs/PLAN.md):

  • 12b (#8): the logs view, after 11.
  • 13 (#9): packages/terminal, a Ghostty backend behind an xterm-compatible API with xterm.js 6 + WebGL as fallback, plus exec in the UI.
  • 14b: SSH over the stream plus the Terminals page.
  • 15 (#11): CLI and MCP with plans for AI agent tokens.
  • 16 (#12): the first-usable-slice check, with budgets measured on the perf-test VM.
  • 17 (#13): plan the Linux control panel.

Deferred items to fold into those steps:

  • #8: host "Open terminal" (needs 13) and dashboard sparklines (Bklit in a lazy React island).
  • #10: full relay p99 benchmark and remaining adversarial SSH tests (with 14b).
  • Postgres storage (later; keep SQL portable).
  • scripts/verify installs JS dependencies only when node_modules is missing. It should also reinstall when bun.lock changes: a stale checkout broke "build web app" after a dependency was added. Fix this as a small step first.

Fresh VM setup (the owner does these before pasting this prompt)

  1. Provision (from a checkout of the repo on the Mac):
    (cd scripts && COPYFILE_DISABLE=1 tar czf - provision-dev-vm jobs) | ssh root@infraternal-dev.vpn.kayg.org 'mkdir -p /root/prov && tar xzf - -C /root/prov', then
    ssh root@infraternal-dev.vpn.kayg.org bash /root/prov/provision-dev-vm.
  2. Copy the Claude and Codex skills and the global CLAUDE.md from the Mac (commands are in the header of scripts/provision-dev-vm).
  3. As kayg: codex login --device-auth, claude (log in), fj --host https://git.kayg.org auth add-token with a token scoped to kayg/infraternal.
  4. Git access: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 as kayg; add the public key as a deploy key with write access on kayg/infraternal; add a NetBird policy infraternal-dev → o2, TCP 2222 only; then git clone ssh://git@o2.vpn.kayg.org:2222/kayg/infraternal.git /mnt/hdd/infraternal/repo.
  5. Snapshot the VM.

First actions

Check df -h /mnt/hdd, git -C /mnt/hdd/infraternal/repo log --oneline -5 origin/dev, git ls-remote origin stream, and that scripts/verify fast passes on dev (run bun install --frozen-lockfile first). Then tell the owner the state and your plan, and wait for their go before launching jobs. The first job should fix scripts/verify so it reinstalls JS dependencies whenever bun.lock changes.

Orchestrator on infraternal-dev, first-actions check (2026-09-22). Blocked: I could not run any of the four checks. Nothing has been changed on the VM and no jobs were launched.

What I found

Check Result
df -h /mnt/hdd 98G, 93G free. But /mnt/hdd/infraternal does not exist, so there is no repo, bin/, jobs/ or .worktrees/.
git ls-remote origin stream Fails. o2.vpn.kayg.org does not resolve (Could not resolve hostname). NetBird is connected (5/37 peers), so the infraternal-dev → o2 policy (TCP 2222) is most likely missing: NetBird only serves DNS for peers you can reach.
Deploy key ~/.ssh/git.kayg.org exists (kayg@infraternal-dev), but there is no ~/.ssh/config, so git would not pick this key up for o2.vpn.kayg.org:2222. Is it added as a write deploy key on the repo?
scripts/verify fast on dev Not run: no checkout.

Step 1 of the fresh VM setup (provision-dev-vm) does not appear to have run: no podman, no test sshd on 127.0.0.1:2222, kayg is not in the docker group (permission denied on the socket), and there is no /mnt/hdd/infraternal.

Step 2 is partly done: ~/.claude/skills has only codex-subagents and ask-jev. There is no global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, no perf-test-vm skill, and ~/.codex/skills has neither emil-design-eng nor the better-* skills.

Step 3 is done: codex login status shows "Logged in using ChatGPT", and fj works over HTTPS.

I read CLAUDE.md, DECISIONS.md, docs/PLAN.md and docs/HANDOVER.md from dev over HTTPS (read only).

Conflicts in the docs to settle

  • CLAUDE.md ("Issues and branches") says git over SSH does not reach Forgejo from the VM, and that the orchestrator pushes through a vm remote and an agents host. docs/PLAN.md (verification loop, step 1) says "the VM has no route to Forgejo", and step 5 says the owner merges to dev. The handover says origin is Forgejo over SSH from this VM and that the orchestrator merges. I will follow the handover, as instructed. Should a small doc fix to CLAUDE.md and PLAN.md go into the first job?

Plan, once unblocked

  1. Owner: finish setup steps 1, 2 and 4.
  2. Me: clone to /mnt/hdd/infraternal/repo, then re-run the first actions (bun install --frozen-lockfile, then scripts/verify fast on dev) and post the verbatim output here.
  3. First job (Luna max, one job with its own issue): make scripts/verify reinstall JS dependencies whenever bun.lock changes, not only when node_modules is missing. Gates, one review, merge.
  4. Step 11, the stream (#7): worktree from stream at 182eb06, re-run its gates, one independent review (Sol medium, worded as a defensive code audit), one fix round, one verify, merge. Then 12b, 13, 14b, 15, 16 and 17 in order.

I will wait for the owner's go before launching any Codex job.

The dev VM is unblocked and work has started.

  • Clone. o2.vpn.kayg.org still does not resolve on this VM, but the peer is connected at 10.69.69.52 and the deploy key works. ~/.ssh/config now has a Host o2.vpn.kayg.org entry with HostName 10.69.69.52 and IdentityFile ~/.ssh/git.kayg.org, so origin keeps its proper URL. Remove the HostName line once NetBird serves that DNS record.
  • Provisioning. provision-dev-vm ran from the checkout (exit 0): docker 29.8.1, podman 5.4.2 rootless=true, sshd on 127.0.0.1:2222. I restarted user@1001 so that user units, and therefore jobs, pick up the new docker group.
  • Fast gate on dev at bfa8af7 (.worktrees/dev-check, after bun install --frozen-lockfile):
PASS fast: JavaScript dependencies
PASS fast: build web app
PASS fast: cargo fmt --check
PASS fast: cargo clippy
PASS fast: cargo test
PASS fast: svelte-check
PASS fast: UI package svelte-check
PASS fast: Vitest
PASS fast: UI package Vitest
PASS fast: OpenAPI and TypeScript client drift
  • Jobs. verify-deps (step 4b, #17): mechanical → gpt-5.6-luna/max, running.
  • Step 11 plan change. stream branched at 8d5000d and does not include step 12. A dry-run merge conflicts in crates/server/src/lib.rs, Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock, docs/openapi.json, schema.ts and scripts/verify. The new order: 4b merges to dev, a stream-merge job merges dev into stream (Sol medium, because the conflict in lib.rs is authorization wiring on both sides), then the independent review runs on the merged head.
The dev VM is unblocked and work has started. - **Clone.** `o2.vpn.kayg.org` still does not resolve on this VM, but the peer is connected at 10.69.69.52 and the deploy key works. `~/.ssh/config` now has a `Host o2.vpn.kayg.org` entry with `HostName 10.69.69.52` and `IdentityFile ~/.ssh/git.kayg.org`, so `origin` keeps its proper URL. Remove the `HostName` line once NetBird serves that DNS record. - **Provisioning.** `provision-dev-vm` ran from the checkout (exit 0): docker 29.8.1, podman 5.4.2 rootless=true, sshd on 127.0.0.1:2222. I restarted `user@1001` so that user units, and therefore jobs, pick up the new `docker` group. - **Fast gate on `dev` at `bfa8af7`** (`.worktrees/dev-check`, after `bun install --frozen-lockfile`): ``` PASS fast: JavaScript dependencies PASS fast: build web app PASS fast: cargo fmt --check PASS fast: cargo clippy PASS fast: cargo test PASS fast: svelte-check PASS fast: UI package svelte-check PASS fast: Vitest PASS fast: UI package Vitest PASS fast: OpenAPI and TypeScript client drift ``` - **Jobs.** `verify-deps` (step 4b, #17): mechanical → gpt-5.6-luna/max, running. - **Step 11 plan change.** `stream` branched at `8d5000d` and does not include step 12. A dry-run merge conflicts in `crates/server/src/lib.rs`, `Cargo.toml`/`Cargo.lock`, `docs/openapi.json`, `schema.ts` and `scripts/verify`.

Session state for the next orchestrator (2026-09-22, before a Claude Code update). Jobs run as systemd user units with Linger=yes, so they survive a restarted session. Re-attach with /mnt/hdd/infraternal/bin/wait-job.sh <job> (Bash tool, run_in_background, description Codex <Model> <Effort> [job]); results are in /mnt/hdd/infraternal/jobs/<job>/{result.md,log.txt,exit}.

Done this session

  • VM unblocked: the repo is cloned to /mnt/hdd/infraternal/repo. o2.vpn.kayg.org still does not resolve, so ~/.ssh/config pins it to 10.69.69.52 with the deploy key. Remove HostName once NetBird serves the record.
  • provision-dev-vm ran (exit 0): docker 29.8.1, podman 5.4.2 rootless, sshd on 127.0.0.1:2222. user@1001 was restarted so units get the docker group.
  • Step 4b merged to dev at 65ba959 (pushed), with c035b0c: Codex jobs are now named Codex <Model> <Effort> [job] in comm and in the unit description, not only argv[0].
  • Preview runs bfa8af7 on :7010. It needs a rebuild once the next step merges.
  • Emil Kowalski's and Jakub Krehel's skills are installed in ~/.codex/skills and ~/.claude/skills (owner's instruction: every UI job loads them). Owner also suggested sveltebits.xyz components where they add finesse, ported to our tokens, never Tailwind.
  • The browser gate on dev passed; its screenshots are in /mnt/hdd/infraternal/artifacts/dev-browser/. Four UI findings went to #8, folded into step 12c.

Running jobs

Unit Step Worktree, head
codex-cli-auth 15a, #11: device-code login, contract first .worktrees/cli-auth, 26e61e1
codex-review-stream 11, #7: defensive audit of the merged stream .worktrees/stream, a4cde1c
codex-review-terminal 13a, #9: review, including broken font metrics and 8 MB/s throughput .worktrees/terminal, d057e36
codex-review-cli-mcp 15b, #11: review of the CLI and MCP .worktrees/cli-mcp, eb14905
codex-review-ui-polish 12c, #18: review and fix, including two clipping bugs .worktrees/ui-polish, 36abab4

Waiting on those reviews: step 11 fix round, then verify and merge (it is the gate for 12b and 14b); step 13a fix round (font metrics, tiny type, throughput); 15a and 15b merge together, then a later job adds logs, exec and ssh to the CLI once the stream is in dev.

Open with the owner: none blocking. Disk was at 79% with six Rust worktrees; remove each worktree as its step merges, and clear target/debug/incremental in idle ones.

Overnight plan (orchestrator, autonomous; the owner is asleep). Rules: every job tracks its own issue; nothing merges without an independent review, one fix round and a verify recorded in the issue; main is not touched. New jobs run on GPT 6 (gpt-6-luna/max by default, gpt-6-sol/medium for security surfaces) and are named Codex GPT 6 <Model> <Effort> [job].

Order, each item gated on the one before where it depends on it:

  1. 12c UI polish (#18): review-ui-polish finishes its fixes → verify job → merge → rebuild the preview → screenshots in this issue.
  2. 11 stream (#7): fix-stream → verify job re-runs the 13 audit repros and the hop latency, plus the #19 fix (bounded test-container logs, --rm, a label sweep) → merge.
  3. 13a terminal package (#9): fix-terminal → verify → merge.
  4. 12b logs view (#8): build on dev once 11 and 12c are in → review → fix → verify → merge → preview.
  5. 13b exec terminal in the UI (#9): once 11 and 13a are in.
  6. 15 CLI and MCP (#11): cli-auth → Sol review → merge with cli-mcp → one combined fix round → verify → merge. Then logs and exec in the CLI once 11 is in.
  7. 14b SSH in the product (#10): once 11 and 13b are in, if the night allows.

Also: after the running jobs, the Docker daemon gets bounded log-opts (#19). Worktrees are removed as their steps merge.

Two orchestrators, now split (2026-09-22, about 22:40). After the Claude Code update the session was resumed twice, so there are two orchestrators: d95eac (zellij) and 3e052f (remote control). To keep them from touching the same work:

  • d95eac owns step 15 (#11: cli-auth, cli-mcp, their worktrees and jobs).
  • 3e052f owns steps 11 (#7), 13a (#9), 12b, 13b, 14b and #19, with .worktrees/stream, .worktrees/terminal and .worktrees/dev-check.
  • Only a step's owner merges it; both fetch before pushing and keep merges fast-forward-safe.
  • Neither removes a worktree it did not create. dev is at badd796 (12c merged and verified, per #18).

The owner may keep only one; the other then hands over here.

Handover (00:28): orchestrator d95eac has been unreachable since about 23:40. Its session process exited, and ListAgents no longer lists it; its zellij client is still open. So 3e052f takes over step 15 (#11) as well and is now the only orchestrator. If d95eac returns, it should read this and stay idle unless the owner decides otherwise.

State of step 15 at takeover:

  • cli-auth (15a, gpt-5.6-sol) is still running its final verification.
  • fix-cli-mcp (15b) is done at c157d70: all 8 review findings are fixed and verify fast passes. verify integration is blocked only by the engine's Podman event-stream timeout, which fix2-stream (#7) is root-causing now.

Morning report (orchestrator 3e052f, 2026-09-23 about 04:00)

Stopped: Codex hit the account usage limit at about 04:00. Every model is refused (gpt-6-luna and gpt-5.6-luna checked): "You've hit your usage limit … try again at Sep 28th, 2026 10:05 AM." The operating contract says concrete work goes only to Codex, and Claude's built-in subagents need the owner's explicit OK, so no work continues until the owner decides.

Merged to dev overnight, each after an independent review, fix and verify recorded in its issue:

Step Merge Evidence
12c UI polish, fonts, design-skill pass (#18) badd796 Clipping fixed on every page; overflow guard on every route and width; Inter and JetBrains Mono confirmed from computed styles; 74 KB first-load JS
13a terminal package (#9) 6270e0f All 7 review findings pass; throughput deferred to step 16 (this VM renders in software through SwiftShader)
11 stream protocol (#7) bba250f All 11 audit findings and 3 final blockers pass; browser keystroke p99 1.6 ms with no load and 7.7 ms under paced logs (dev-VM smoke)
#19 disk incident in bba250f Root cause: four leaked log-flood test containers, 81.8 GiB. Fixed with bounded, labelled, auto-removed fixtures and Docker daemon log defaults (50m × 2, live)

dev is at bba250f and the preview on :7010 runs it.

Unfinished, preserved on Forgejo:

  • Step 15, CLI and MCP (#11), branch cli at 3dee81b.
    • Done: device-code login (15a) is semantically merged with the resource CLI and MCP (15b); the independent Sol review found 4 blocks-merge issues, and the fix round committed fixes for them (c8aa48f and test updates).
    • Not done: the gates were never re-run, so there is no verify yet. The fix also touched crates/engine/src/lib.rs (54b57a1, the exec signal helper), which is outside its scope and needs its own check in the verify.
    • Needs the owner's confirmation: the MCP credential design. MCP uses a separate ai_agent token that a signed-in human mints with infraternal mcp setup, and the INFRATERNAL_TOKEN environment variable is removed.
  • Steps 12b and 13b, logs view and exec in the UI (#20, #9), branch container-live at b9204c2. This is a WIP snapshot of the job that was interrupted: a web stream client, VirtualLogList, log decoding, the container detail page and the Terminals page. It is untested and unreviewed; do not merge. It accidentally includes packages/terminal/test-results/, which the next job should drop.

Other overnight events:

  • The Claude Code update resumed this session twice, so for about two hours there were two orchestrators (d95eac and 3e052f). They coordinated a split through cross-session messages (recorded above). d95eac went unreachable at about 23:40, and 3e052f took over step 15.
  • Jobs are named Codex GPT 6 <Model> <Effort> [job], and the codex-subagents skill is rewritten on GPT 6.

Options for the owner:

  1. Buy Codex credits, and I resume at once: verify step 15, then finish, review and verify 12b and 13b, then 14b.
  2. Explicitly allow Claude subagents, or Claude doing the work directly, until the limit resets.
  3. Wait until Sep 28 10:05.

Resumed (morning, 2026-09-23) on the overflow Codex account /home/kayg/.config/openai2, per the owner. launch-job.sh now passes CODEX_HOME into each unit (244df29 on dev): it defaults to openai1, and CODEX_HOME=/home/kayg/.config/openai2 selects the overflow account. ~/.codex no longer exists, so without this change every job would have started logged out. The UI skills were copied into openai2/skills. Running now: verify-cli (step 15, #11) and container-live2 (steps 12b and 13b, #20 and #9, continuing from the WIP at 3960d06).

09:20: openai2 also hit its usage limit (the 5-hour window; it resets at 13:42 today). openai1 stays limited until 2026-09-28 10:05. Four parallel jobs used openai2's window in about 90 minutes, and all four were cut off. Work is preserved:

  • grant-shrink at a6364b9 (pushed): a WIP of the revalidation change.
  • ui-redesign: no progress committed.

Resuming at 13:45 with a narrower lane: the owner's priorities first, ui-redesign (#21) and container-live (#20, #9), two at a time. After those, grant-shrink (#22) and cli-stream (#11).

14:30: openai2 hit its 5-hour limit again (it resets at 18:46); openai1 stays limited until 2026-09-28. Two jobs lasted about 3 hours this time.

  • #23 migration fix: built at 97ef5d0 (pushed as migration-fix), and the author's fast and integration gates pass. The orchestrator confirmed that 0008 is byte-identical to bba250f, that 0009 is the old token-provenance file, and that the original preview database is untouched.

New operating rules (owner, 2026-09-24 IST):

  • Only openai1 ($200 plan); never openai2.
  • No fixed cap on jobs: run as many as the VM tolerates.
  • UI on shadcn-svelte plus sveltebits instead of hand-rolled basics (#25).
  • Delete worktrees when done; new worktrees go in /home/kayg/wt (root disk, faster than /mnt/hdd).
  • Deploy to infraternal.kayg.org periodically.

Wave 1 (launched about 12:58 IST):

  • live-web (12b/13b frontend) and live-agent (12b/13b backend);
  • shadcn (12e);
  • grant-shrink2 (11b, Sol);
  • cli-stream2 (15c);
  • ops-deploy (repeatable o2 deploy, preview deps fix).

Jobs build without debug info (CARGO_PROFILE_DEV_DEBUG=0) to save disk.

Overnight plan, 2026-09-24/25 (orchestrator 3e052f, autonomous; openai1 only). Every step gets one review, one fix round and one verify before it merges, and every merge deploys to o2 via scripts/deploy-o2. New launches only when load5 is below 8.

Merged and deployed today: 11 (stream), 11b, 12c, 12d, 12f, 13a, 13b and 12b (logs view and Ghostty shell), 15 and 15c (CLI and MCP), the deploy tooling, #23, #27 and #31. o2 runs cd275a4.

frontend 12e shadcn base (shadcn) review → fix → verify → merge → deploy; then 12g: convert the container pages and Terminals to shadcn, wire the sidebar to the 12f arrangement API (saved per user), and build the Terminals page (session list and close, tabs, splits)

Morning report (2026-09-25, about 08:00 IST)

Live on o2 (https://infraternal.kayg.org, mesh only; o2 runs 1337efd):

  • Container logs: live, virtualized, 10k lines/s at 60 fps; pause, search, stream filter, wrap, timestamps, copy.
  • Container shell: a Ghostty terminal in the browser (xterm as fallback). The prompt appears without pressing Enter, it follows the theme live, and it reattaches with replay after a reload.
  • CLI: infraternal login (device code), ps, inspect, start/stop/restart/rm with dry-run and plans, logs, exec -it, ssh <host>, hosts trust-key, sessions, and infraternal mcp for AI agents.
  • Backend:
    • SSH hosts, host-key trust with changed-key refusal, persistent SSH sessions;
    • the sessions API and the per-user sidebar-arrangement API;
    • the one-second revocation bound;
    • stream params: logs tail/follow, exec argv/TTY/env, stdin EOF.

Merged overnight (each reviewed, fixed once and verified):

  • 14b SSH backend (Sol audit, 6 findings fixed)
  • 15c CLI logs and exec
  • 15d CLI SSH
  • 11d stream params (Sol audit, 3 findings fixed)
  • #27 SSH test isolation
  • #31 load-robust tests
  • the S2 plan (steps 19–29)
  • the LXC research

Landing this morning:

  • 12e shadcn UI: approved, polish fixed; merge-12e is merging it with current dev, and it deploys right after. It brings the shadcn Sidebar with drag and drop (@dnd-kit/svelte: pointer, touch and keyboard, no edit mode), the one-row account area, the floating inbox, and shadcn primitives everywhere. First-load JS is 115 KB gzip, under the 120 KB budget.
  • 12g part a (pages-shadcn): the container pages and Terminals on shadcn, the Terminals page (session list, tabs, splits), and the SSH UI (host settings, key trust, Open terminal).
  • 11c (process-boundary, Sol): a per-exec process boundary so detached child processes cannot escape revocation.

Owner decisions needed:

  1. sveltebits: its license is MIT plus Commons Clause (confirmed against the upstream LICENSE), which conflicts with AGPL-only DECISIONS §3, so nothing was imported. Accept that, or change §3?
  2. The AdGuard rewrite infraternal.kayg.org → 10.69.69.52, so the CLI works from any mesh device.
  3. The MCP credential design (infraternal mcp setup, a scoped ai_agent token).
  4. The LXC path (research recommends plain LXC first), and the OIDC provider for S2 step 20.
  5. The perf-test VM plus its skill, for step 16's reportable numbers.

Incident, 19:51 IST yesterday: a forced Podman image cleanup on o2 (a Podman 4.9.3 client, not infraternal) removed the Postgres containers, and a root process made kayg's Podman storage root-owned. Another agent recovered it. Timeline: /mnt/hdd/infraternal/artifacts/o2-incident-20260924.md.

Update, 08:35 IST: the shadcn UI is live at https://infraternal.kayg.org (ce194d4, reachable from the mesh only).

What to test:

  • Sidebar: drag to reorder items and groups, add groups with New group, and collapse groups. There's no edit mode, and keyboard drag works (space to lift, arrows to move). The arrangement is still stored per browser; server sync is #36, in progress.
  • Account row: avatar, name, version and sign-out on a single row.
  • Inbox: a floating card.
  • Everything else: the shadcn primitives throughout. The container detail page still has the live logs and the Ghostty shell.

A first deploy attempt failed before o2 was touched. The web app imported @lucide/svelte without declaring it, and only the VM's stale node_modules hid that. Fixed in #35, and verify fast now catches undeclared imports.

In progress: 12g-a pages on shadcn (#34), 12g-b sidebar server sync (#36), the 11c fix round (#28), and CLI exec -i EOF (#37).

10:30 IST. 11c (the process boundary) is merged and deployed to o2 at dbd6685.

In flight: pages on shadcn (12g-a), sidebar server sync (12g-b, fix round), CLI exec -i EOF (fix round for a flaky resize test).

Question for the owner: every remaining S2 step (19–25) is gated "after 16", and 16 is blocked only on the perf-test VM and its skill; the S1 end-to-end suite is already merged. May S2 start before 16's perf numbers exist? If yes, I'd start with 25, the audit log view and export (Sol, backend first; 11c's unconfirmed outcomes have no viewer yet) and 21, persistent SSH reattach, in parallel. Until you answer, I'm only finishing S1 work.

18:15 IST: step 19 is live on o2 (b63a853). Remote infraternal agents can enroll with a single-use join token, get a per-agent certificate, and connect over an mTLS tunnel (TLS 1.3 only). Container list and exec work through it with signed grants; revocation, and --no-local-agent, are in too. It went through a Sol review, one fix round and verification. SSH through a remote agent is #43.

Note: the tunnel listens only with --tunnel-listen, and routing on o2 (Traefik TCP passthrough) is still follow-up work, so a remote agent can't reach o2 yet.

Next to merge: step 21 (SSH reattach) and 12g-b (server-side sidebar sync); both are verified and merging with the new dev. After that, step 25 (audit log), which is in verification. 12g-a (the pages) and 24 (stacks) are in review or build, and #42 is the Podman flake that blocks the integration gates.

21:05 IST, orchestrator note. Steps 19 and 21 are live on o2 (d919783). The findings for 25 (audit log), 12g-b (sidebar sync) and 12g-a (the pages) are all closed or in their fix rounds. What blocks their merges now is getting clean full integration and browser runs: with 5 or more parallel jobs the load sits at 9–17, and the Podman exec startup timing (#42) plus a few UI timing checks fail under that load. I'm not launching more build work. Once #42 lands, the remaining gates run one branch at a time at low load, in this order: 25, 12g-b, 12g-a, 24, then the CLI exec -i fix (#37).

04:15 IST, blocked on Codex auth. At about 04:10 IST every new Codex launch on the openai1 account started failing: 401 Unauthorized: Incorrect API key provided: sk-svcac…, even for a trivial call. auth.json was rewritten at 04:13 IST. The two jobs that were already running (verify-44, fix-12ga) are still working on their in-memory tokens for now. Launches that failed: final-25 (cut off), final-cli-eof and fix-24. The owner needs to log in again: CODEX_HOME=/home/kayg/.config/openai1 codex login. I won't switch to openai2. Nothing else is affected: dev is 9d4876a, which is what's deployed on o2.

CLI source check: crates/infraternal/src/cli.rs keeps logs --tail N client-side in a bounded ring (MAX_TAIL_BYTES = 8 MiB), rejects --tail together with --follow, and defaults non-follow reads to a 5-second deadline; explicit timeout is 1–86,400 seconds. The old CLI text about a planned step 11d was stale. The independent release-readiness audit also records remote-detail-actions and remote-ssh as unmerged at base 450c297, so those remote features need a pending label in the v0.0.1 draft.

o2 overnight update, 2026-10-04 about 00:30 IST

Live on o2: db57deb

  • Remote SSH through the infraternal agent. Keys live on each agent, and the server serves each agent's own public key.
  • Inbound DATA fence batched: a queued burst of 1,000 frames now takes 16 SQLite transactions instead of 1,000.
  • Stream stability:
    • late frames no longer tear down the tunnel;
    • bounded teardown;
    • a 150 ms socket cutoff on forced close;
    • batched audits;
    • a shared recheck.
  • Already live from earlier tonight:
    • stream conformance (1009, resize, tunnel limits);
    • session authority (sweep lineage, events redaction);
    • contract drift fixes;
    • remote detail and actions;
    • the 1 s revocation budget;
    • the agent memory cut.

Build fixes tonight:

  • Pinned Rust 1.99.0, after the stable toolchain auto-updated and broke clippy everywhere.
  • Fixed the gate's target.pre-gate placement, which overflowed git ls-files.
  • Disks grown to 300 GB each.
  • sccache added for every job and gate.

Coming next: the gate chain runs storage fixes, then remote session DELETE, then SSH security regression tests, then tunnel hostname. The new UI plus dense tables are aimed at the morning. Audit fixes in flight: 300+ containers, Podman with DOCKER_HOST, CLI logs --tail --follow.

For the morning, decisions only:

  • monitor01 deployment details;
  • the SSH auto-install flow for agents;
  • the decisions list.

Morning report, 2026-10-05

What to test (web UI only), on https://infraternal.kayg.org running 173525d

  1. Add o2 from the web UI
    • Go to Hosts, then the + button (Add a host).
    • Enter address 10.69.69.52, user kayg, mode Rootless, SSH authentication Detect automatically.
    • The timeline runs. At step 3 it should say "NetBird SSH detected: access is granted by your NetBird policy; no key needed". Check the fingerprint: o2's NetBird SSH host key is SHA256:9Fi5y1ut…. Then click Trust fingerprint.
    • Expected: it runs through upload, install (infraternal agent self-installs as a kayg user service with linger), start, enroll, tunnel (o2 dials monitor01:7443), providers and inventory. o2's Podman containers then appear in the sidebar tree.
    • Rootless mode on o2 sees kayg's rootless Podman only. Rootful Docker needs Root mode (sudo -n) or kayg in the docker group.
  2. Branched glass sidebar: the host tree with Docker, Podman and SSH branches and live counts, keyboard arrows, and phone width.
  3. Remove host: shows a plan first, then removes the unit and binary and revokes the identity.
  4. Terminal into an o2 container: exercises tonight's byte-exact terminal output fix and the upload fixes.

If a step fails, the timeline shows the reason and a Retry button. Leave it in that state and tell me; the state is durable.

Landed overnight (merged to dev, deployed)

  • Add-host flow:
    • numbered setup timeline;
    • SSH auth choice (Detect, Install key, Network), with NetBird and Tailscale detection from the SSH banner;
    • trust-time override;
    • removal with a plan.
  • Network SSH auth (NetBird/Tailscale) in the backend: none auth, authorized by network policy. Key mode is unchanged.
  • Self-install: infraternal agent|server install|uninstall (k3s-style; system or user unit by context). SSH bootstrap now calls it.
    • Upgrades keep their settings.
    • Units infraternal didn't write fail closed: no values are ever shown, and replacing one needs --force-replace.
    • It took five review rounds; the final review said merge.
  • Agent binaries: x86_64 and aarch64 builds shipped in the monitor01 image, with the tunnel URL flags set.
  • Bug fixes:
    • #87: stale or missing Podman inventory. Unavailable lists no longer serve old data, and refreshes are coalesced.
    • #77: remote stdin uploads stalled near 8 MiB. 32 and 256 MiB now pass byte-exact.
    • #78: terminal output starting with a NUL byte was lost. Now byte-exact.
  • Test stability: flake sweep (timing tests, web Vitest, isolated sshd fixtures), and gates no longer dirty THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES (#70). Perf selectors and budgets documented (#89, #90).
  • Decisions: your grill decisions are recorded as DECISIONS §31–§44 (#76).
  • Issues: 23 architecture issues (#53–#75) and 14 performance issues (#77–#90), each checked against the code.

Still in flight

  • browser-green: web perf (#82 brotli/gzip, payload −69%; #84 cold JS under budget; #79 search cache) plus test-harness fixes, plus a 320 px label clipping fix. When the full browser suite is green, it gets the gate, then deploy.

Decisions for you

  1. Failed uninstall during host removal: should infraternal revoke the infraternal agent's identity anyway (the reviewer's position), or keep its records so a retry converges (current behavior, per the contract)?
  2. DECISIONS §37: policy-engine approval gates (§14) remain open, alongside AI tokens having scoped full access plus an approvals inbox.
  3. DECISIONS §38: the SvelteBits source restriction (licence and copying) remains open.
  4. NetBird policy: any peer allowed to reach o2:22 gets a kayg shell without a key. That's your NetBird setup; infraternal relies on it for network auth. Confirm it's intended.
  5. Older items, still open:
    • contract drift D8 and D14;
    • Kubernetes/LXC provider design choices;
    • SSH host pins on the server, and short-lived certificates.

Known gaps

  • The API has no explicit "setting up" host status; the sidebar infers it.
  • There's no host-removal route for hosts that weren't installed through the flow.
  • One install browser test still uses the shared sshtarget account (with backup and restore); the isolated sshd fixture timed out on a full install.

When the full browser suite is green, it gets the gate, then deploy. ### Decisions for you 1. **Failed uninstall during host removal:** should infraternal revoke the infraternal agent's identity anyway (the reviewer's position), or keep its records so a retry converges (current behavior, per the contract)? 2. **DECISIONS §37:** policy-engine approval gates (§14) remain open, alongside AI tokens having scoped full access plus an approvals inbox. 3. **DECISIONS §38:** the SvelteBits source restriction (licence and copying) remains open. 4. **NetBird policy:** any peer allowed to reach o2:22 gets a `kayg` shell without a key. That's your NetBird setup; infraternal relies on it for network auth. Confirm it's intended. 5. **Older items, still open:** - contract drift D8 and D14; - Kubernetes/LXC provider design choices; - SSH host pins on the server, and short-lived certificates. ### Known gaps - The API has no explicit "setting up" host status; the sidebar infers it. - There's no host-removal route for hosts that weren't installed through the flow. - One install browser test still uses the shared sshtarget account (with backup and restore); the isolated sshd fixture timed out on a full install.
