The config editor read service/job detail 'manifest' as the castle.yaml spec
but the endpoint returned the flat *runtime registry* shape for deployed
entries — so service fields (port/health/proxy) never prefilled and a save
would 422/corrupt. Detail 'manifest' is now always the editable castle.yaml
ServiceSpec/JobSpec when the entry is declared there; the flat registry shape
is a display-only fallback for entries that exist only at runtime.
Also:
- ServiceSummary/JobSummary gain run_target (what it runs) + program ref;
ServiceSummary gains proxy_host.
- ProgramSummary gains services[]/jobs[] — the deployments referencing a
program (a program → 0-N services/jobs), for linking + create prefill.
- App types updated to match; deleted orphaned DeploymentEditor/AddDeployment
(leftovers from the removed ConfigEditor).
Verified live: service manifest nested (expose.http.internal.port, proxy.caddy
.host prefill), run_target=lakehoused, program lakehouse → services:[lakehouse].
api 52 green; ruff + app build clean.
Driven by adopting lakehouse (an existing daemon that bundles its own SPA) —
see docs/findings-lakehouse.md.
#3 deploy reloads the gateway. castle deploy regenerated the Caddyfile but
left the running Caddy on the old config, so new proxy routes were silently
dead. Deploy now reloads the gateway when it's running.
#1 castle expose <program>. Turns an adopted program into a service
(run/port/health/proxy/systemd) in one command — the missing
daemon-to-service step. Flags: --port --health --path --run --port-env
--host --no-proxy.
#2 port_env mapping. A service can declare expose.http.internal.port_env so
castle sets the env var the program actually reads (e.g. lakehoused reads
LAKEHOUSED_DAEMON_PORT, not castle's convention LAKEHOUSE_PORT). Castle now
genuinely drives an adopted daemon's bind port.
#4a auto-base for react-vite. The build passes VITE_BASE = the gateway serve
prefix (/<name>/, or / for castle-app); vite.config reads it. A castle-built
frontend now works at its subpath with no hand-tuned base. castle-app's
vite.config updated as the reference.
#4b host-based routing. proxy.caddy.host routes a whole hostname to the backend
root via a host matcher inside the :9000 site, so a root-based SPA (base="/")
serves unchanged — the fix for proxying an app castle can't rebuild. Caddyfile
now emits 'auto_https off' (HTTP-only gateway on a non-standard port).
Nit: activate skips the editable reinstall when the tool is already on PATH.
Tests: core 94, cli 24, api 52; ruff + app build clean. Verified live: lakehouse
runs under systemd, API at /lakehouse, full UI (SPA boots) via host routing.
The Programs table's install/uninstall icon keyed off `installed`
(shutil.which(name)) — a PATH lookup that only makes sense for python CLI
tools. Static frontends have no PATH binary so they were always
`installed=false` → a green 'Install' icon even while actively served;
container daemons were `installed=null` → same. And for tools the value
reflected the castle-api service's PATH, which isn't guaranteed to include
~/.local/bin across reboots, so they could all flip to 'not installed'.
Switch ProgramActions/ProgramTable/ProgramDetail to the uniform `active`
state (Phase 2's lifecycle.is_active: PATH-independent ~/.local/bin check for
tools, systemctl for services/jobs, served-assets check for static
frontends). Now every program reflects real state: served frontends show
Uninstall, container daemons (no install verb) show no icon.
App builds clean.
Imported nowhere and absent from the router — an unreachable bulk-editor
superseded by the typed detail pages (ServiceDetail/ProgramDetail/
ScheduledDetail), which edit via ConfigPanel. It also called endpoints that
no longer exist (GET /components, PUT/DELETE /config/components/{name}; the
API uses /deployments and typed /config/{programs,services,jobs}/{name}).
App builds clean.
The dashboard widgets were named after the old 'component' concept. Renamed
each to what it actually renders:
- ComponentCard → ServiceCard (ServiceSummary, /services/, service actions)
- ComponentTable → ProgramTable (ProgramSummary[], the program catalog)
- ComponentEditor→ DeploymentEditor (DeploymentDetail, the unified type)
- ComponentFields→ DeploymentFields (AnyDetail)
- AddComponent → AddDeployment
Also purged the domain term 'component' from the rest of the app: the
useComponent hook → useDeployment, ConfigPanel + the three detail pages'
`component` prop/var → `deployment`, and the gateway/node table headers
(Component → Program / Deployment). Props renamed to match (component →
service / program / deployment). The React UI directory app/src/components/
keeps its conventional name.
App type-checks and builds clean.
Convergent deploy (prefix-based prune): castle deploy now removes orphaned
castle-* systemd units/timers no longer in the registry. Full deploy only;
partial (--name) deploys preserve siblings. Fixes the orphaned-timer / stale-
path drift class.
Container runner: derive --name from the service name (castle-<name>) instead
of the image name; skip the <PREFIX>_DATA_DIR env injection for containers
(avoids colliding with image env namespaces like NEO4J_*).
Unified active lifecycle (core/lifecycle.py): install/uninstall keep their
names but become activate/deactivate, dispatching by behavior — tool→PATH,
daemon/self-serving-frontend/job→systemd, static frontend→served. is_active
reports a uniform state (PATH-independent for tools). The CLI install/uninstall
and service enable/disable route through the extracted core.
API + dashboard: surface a uniform `active` state on programs alongside
`installed`; ProgramDetail shows active/inactive.
Tests: test_deploy_prune (6), test_lifecycle (5). 168 tests pass; lint clean.
The 'tools' concept was just a filtered view of programs and added unnecessary
complexity to the frontend. This commit:
- Removes ToolCard.tsx and Tools.tsx (pages/components never used in router)
- Renames ComponentDetail.tsx → ProgramDetail.tsx (exports ProgramDetailPage)
- Renames ComponentRedirect.tsx → ProgramRedirect.tsx (exports ProgramRedirect)
- Updates imports in routes.tsx to match new file names
- Fixes stale comment in hooks.ts
Frontend naming now aligns with the unified programs model.
Eliminates inconsistency where tools had their own filtered view but daemons and frontends didn't.
Changes:
- API: Removed tools router and ToolSummary/ToolDetail models. Added optional behavior query parameter to GET /programs for filtering by program type (tool, daemon, frontend).
- Frontend: Updated hooks to pass behavior param to usePrograms instead of separate useTools. Updated components to use ProgramSummary type. Removed useToolDetail hook.
- Docs: Updated API documentation to reflect program behavior filtering.
- Updated the terminology from "components" to "programs" across the codebase, including in config loading, saving, and manifest specifications.
- Introduced a new `stacks.py` file to handle lifecycle actions for development stacks, implementing handlers for Python and React Vite stacks.
- Adjusted tests to reflect the new program structure and ensure proper functionality.
- Revised documentation to align with the new terminology and structure, ensuring clarity on the purpose and configuration of programs, services, and jobs.
