- Extract all deploy logic from CLI into castle-core/deploy.py as a reusable deploy() function
* Resolves services/jobs to DeployedComponents
* Generates systemd units and Caddyfile
* Copies frontend assets and reloads systemd
* Returns DeployResult with deployed count and messages
- Simplify CLI deploy command to a thin wrapper calling castle_core.deploy()
- Add POST /deploy endpoint to castle-api for remote deployment management
* Supports optional {name} body param to deploy one or all services
* Returns deployment result as JSON
- Register deploy router in castle-api main.py
- Update README with new deploy endpoint documentation
This enables full remote management: build, test, lint, and deploy any castle
node over HTTP (e.g. POST http://node:9000/api/deploy)
Sync was a bootstrap command that ran `git submodule update` and `uv tool install` for each program. Neither machine uses git submodules anymore, and the install functionality is already available as a program action (`POST /programs/{name}/install`).
Removed files:
- cli/src/castle_cli/commands/sync.py
Updated files:
- cli/src/castle_cli/main.py (removed sync subparser and dispatch)
- README.md (removed sync from Quick Start and CLI reference)
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.
Relocates the POST /programs/{name}/{action} endpoint from the tools
router to a new programs_router for better API documentation
organization. Program lifecycle actions (build, test, lint, etc.) now
appear under 'programs' in the API docs instead of 'tools'.
Added castle build [project] command following the same pattern as castle test and castle lint. Stack handlers already had build methods — this just wires up the CLI to expose them.
Supports building a single project or all projects, providing feature parity with existing project-level commands.
Simplified castle sync by removing the _try_install() function and the loop that installed components via install.path. Only python-runner service installs remain.
This removes dead complexity — the install.path feature was unused and added unnecessary code paths to maintain.
- Added base_url field to DeployedComponent for external URL proxying
- Updated Caddyfile generator to proxy to base_url when present instead of requiring local port
- Added runner: remote handling in deploy command (returns empty run_cmd, marks as unmanaged)
- Reformatted long ternary expression in registry.py for readability
This enables castle to manage services that proxy to external endpoints without requiring a local process.
Move all instance state into ~/.castle/ with clear separation:
- code/ — user project source (was components/)
- artifacts/ — generated specs, built content (was generated/, static/)
- data/ — service runtime data (was /data/castle/)
- secrets/ — credentials
castle.yaml moves to ~/.castle/castle.yaml as the canonical location.
Source paths use repo: prefix for git repo programs (castle-api, app)
and relative paths for user projects (code/central-context).
Add idempotent install.sh for bootstrapping infrastructure (Docker,
Caddy, MQTT, Postgres, Neo4j) with interactive service detection.
Remove components/ from repo (now in ~/.castle/code/), deinit
submodules, remove .gitmodules.
