Replace the conflated `runner` axis with two orthogonal ones: `manager`
(systemd|caddy|path|none) — who supervises/realizes a deployment — and, for
systemd only, a nested `launcher` (python|command|container|compose|node) — how
the process starts. ServiceSpec and JobSpec collapse into one manager-
discriminated DeploymentSpec union (Systemd/Caddy/Path/Remote); the services/
and jobs/ config dirs collapse into one deployments/ dir. The human "kind"
(service|job|tool|static|reference) is fully derived (kind_for), never stored —
the frontend kind is renamed static. behavior is gone.
- core: DeploymentSpec union + LaunchSpec + kind_for; legacy-aware loader
normalizes old runner shapes; CastleConfig.deployments with derived
services/jobs/tools views; registry.Deployment carries manager/launcher/kind.
- cli: service/job/tool as filtered views + a deployment group; --behavior→--kind,
create --runner→--launcher; lifecycle dispatches over config.deployments.
- castle-api: /deployments primary with /services,/jobs as views; summaries
derive kind; PUT/DELETE /config/deployments/{name} (services/jobs aliased).
- app: KindBadge, frontend→static everywhere, pick-a-kind creation wizard,
per-kind config editors.
- docs: single deployments/ layout, manager/launcher, static kind throughout.
Live migration verified byte-identical: regenerated Caddyfile and every unit
ExecStart line unchanged, so nothing restarted. Suites: core 124, cli 25,
castle-api 55; dashboard build + type-check clean.
Names collide across resource types (a program and a service can share a name),
so the CLI no longer resolves bare names. Operations live under the resource
they act on; platform lifecycle and the cross-resource overview stay top-level.
castle program list|info|create|add|clone|delete|run|install|uninstall|
build|test|lint|format|type-check|check
castle service list|info|create|delete|deploy|enable|disable|start|stop|restart|logs
castle job <same verbs> (create takes --schedule)
castle gateway start|stop|reload|status
castle list | status | deploy [name] # cross-cutting
castle start | stop | restart # whole platform (systemd verbs)
Key changes:
- info/delete/list/run are resource-scoped (no more cross-section name match).
- delete only removes the named resource's entry; program delete still blocks
when a deployment references it.
- per-resource start/stop/restart (systemctl on the unit/timer); top-level
start/stop/restart act on the whole platform.
- expose → 'service create' (more general: --program ref, --runner); gained
'job create' (the CLI never had one).
- dropped up/down — bringing things online is the honest 'deploy && start'.
Docs (CLAUDE.md, registry.md, stack guides) and user-facing messages updated.
core 94 / cli 24 / api 52 green; ruff clean. Verified live: program/service/job
list+info scope correctly, service create+scoped-delete round-trips.
#1 Positional dest unified to `name` across info + dev verbs (was `project`).
#2 install/uninstall help now states the activate semantics (tool→PATH,
service/job→systemd, frontend→served) rather than 'to PATH'.
#4 `service status` (a plural op) moved to `services status`; the singular
`service` group is enable/disable only.
#5 `list --behavior` now filters the program *catalog* by its real behavior
field. behavior (what a program is) and service/job (how it's deployed) are
separate axes: `list` shows a Programs catalog plus Services/Jobs deployment
views; a behavior filter scopes the catalog only.
#6 `list` uses lifecycle.is_active uniformly for the status dot (tool on PATH /
service running / job timer / static frontend served) instead of registry
presence.
#7 New `castle restart <name>` — restart a service (unit) or job (timer).
#8 New `castle status` — unified services + jobs + programs activation view.
#9 New `castle format [name]` dev verb (ruff format / pnpm format); wired into
stacks DEV_ACTIONS + handlers.
#10 New `castle up` — deploy + start everything in one shot.
Docs: CLAUDE.md command reference refreshed. Tests updated to the two-axis
list model (+ a daemon-behavior program fixture). core 92 · cli 24 · api 52
green; ruff clean.
- Introduced `uv.lock` for dependency management with various packages including `pytest`, `colorama`, and `pluggy`.
- Added `pyrightconfig.json` for Python type checking configuration.
