CreateDeploymentForm builds a service or job in castle.yaml (PUT /config/...),
then deploys it (POST /deploy {name} → unit + Caddyfile + reload) and, for a
service, starts it (POST /services/{name}/start), then navigates to the new
detail page.
Reachable two ways:
- Program page Deployments section: 'Create service' / 'Create job' buttons,
prefilled from the program (name, program ref, run target, runner).
- Dashboard: standalone '+ Add service' / '+ Add job' (deployments can run
anything, not just castle programs).
Service form covers port / port_env / health / proxy path / proxy host; job
form covers schedule. Name validated against existing services/jobs.
Verified: the configs the form builds validate (PUT 200) and round-trip clean.
App builds; api 52 / core 94 green from prior stages.
- ProgramActions: install/uninstall (activate) shown only for tools and
no-service frontends. Daemons activate via a service/job, so the program
page no longer offers a misleading Install/Uninstall (which secretly
enabled/disabled the service).
- Program page: new Deployments section listing the services/jobs that run
the program, as links (a program → 0-N services/jobs).
- Service page: 'Runs' row from the run_target summary field (the old code
dug into manifest.run, which was empty pre-Stage-1), a Host row for
proxy_host, and a convenience link to the referenced program.
- lifecycle.activate on a daemon with no service now errors toward
'castle expose' instead of silently installing its binary to PATH.
core 94 green; ruff + app build clean.
The single service-shaped DeploymentFields was reused for all three sections,
so the program page bled service fields (port/proxy/health) and couldn't edit
program config, and the job page couldn't edit its schedule. Replaced it with:
- ProgramFields — description, source, stack, behavior, version, repo/ref,
system deps (+ read-only commands). Edits the program catalog entry.
- ServiceFields — run target, port, port_env, health, proxy path + host,
env/secrets. Prefills correctly now (Stage 1) and round-trips through PUT.
- JobFields — schedule, run target, env/secrets.
ConfigPanel selects the form by section. Shared Field/TextField/useEnvSecrets/
FormFooter helpers in detail/fields.tsx. Retired DeploymentFields. run editing
only touches python/command specs (container/node/remote run blocks preserved).
Verified: GET service manifest → PUT back validates 200. App type-checks/builds.
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].

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.
