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

behavior (tool/daemon/frontend) is now a derived display label computed
from a program's deployments — path->tool, static->frontend, process->daemon
(behavior_for_runner). load_config populates it so every reader gets the live
value; _spec_to_yaml_dict excludes it so it is never written to disk.
_summary_from_service derives it from the runner instead of hardcoding daemon.
Fixtures gain path/python deployments so tool/daemon behaviors derive.
CaddySpec had only `enable` left (path_prefix/host removed; extra_snippets was
unused), so `proxy: { caddy: {} }` was three levels of nesting for a checkbox —
and it invited drift (supabase silently reverted to proxy.caddy.host). Replace it
with a plain `ServiceSpec.proxy: bool`.
- Model: remove ProxySpec/CaddySpec; `proxy: bool = False`. Readers simplified to
`bool(svc.proxy)` (generator, castle-api summaries, CLI info).
- CLI create / dashboard editor + create form: write `proxy: true` / a checkbox.
- Configs migrated to `proxy: true` (and supabase's stale proxy.caddy.host block
removed).
- Docs (registry, dns-and-tls, design, stack guides) + tests/fixtures updated;
also fixed lingering path-model staleness in the stack guides.
Collapse the two proxy shapes (path_prefix + host) to a single checkbox: a
service is either port-only, or exposed at <service-name>.<gateway.domain>. Path
routes and their prefix-stripping foot-guns are gone; the subdomain is always the
service name (rename the service to change it).
- Schema: CaddySpec is just `enable` (presence = expose). service_proxy_targets
returns (expose, port, base_url); Deployment carries `subdomain` (was
proxy_path/proxy_host). Registry/deploy/mesh/CLI updated in lockstep.
- Generator: compute_routes emits one host route per exposed service/frontend
(address = name). acme mode = one *.<domain> site with a reverse_proxy matcher
per service + a file_server matcher per frontend; the :<port> site redirects to
the dashboard. off mode = a HTTP control plane on :<port> (dashboard at / +
/api → castle-api); other services are port-only.
- Dashboard/API: castle-app and castle-api are ordinary subdomains. The dashboard
derives the API base at runtime (castle-api.<domain> on a subdomain, else /api)
and calls it cross-origin — castle-api already allows CORS *. Frontends build
with VITE_BASE=/ (served at their subdomain root).
- CLI: `service create` drops --path/--host; --no-proxy makes it port-only.
- Docs/tests reworked for the model; docs use generic placeholders only (no
personal host/domain/IP details).
acme mode fully replaced the internal-CA path (which required installing a private
CA on every device — the exact pain, esp. on Android, that acme avoids). Remove
`internal` entirely and simplify how services declare host routes.
- Generator (caddyfile.py): drop the `tls internal` branch — modes are now
`off` | `acme`. In acme mode the published subdomain is the **first DNS label**
of `proxy.caddy.host` (a bare `claw`, or a legacy `claw.civil.lan`, both →
`claw.<domain>`), so services stay domain-agnostic and the declared value is
authoritative again (no more silent service-name override). Shared
`_host_matcher_block` reused by off-mode and the acme wildcard site.
- castle-api: delete `GET /gateway/ca.crt`, `_gateway_ca_pem`, `_ca_fingerprint`
and the now-unused imports; drop `ca_fingerprint` from `GatewayInfo` (keep
`tls`).
- Dashboard: remove the CA-cert download button + unused imports; drop
`ca_fingerprint` from the `GatewayInfo` type.
- Tests: replace TestCaddyfileTlsInternal with an off-mode class (keeps the
runner-agnostic host-route coverage); acme tests assert first-label derivation
incl. label-wins-over-service-name; drop the castle-api CA-endpoint test.
- Docs: registry.md + dns-and-tls.md — two-mode tables (off|acme), remove the
internal sections/CA-download, document the bare-label host convention; note a
domain-less node stays on `off`.
When the gateway serves internal-CA HTTPS (gateway.tls=internal), other devices
must trust Caddy's root CA to accept *.lan HTTPS. Surface that from the dashboard
instead of hand-copying root.crt around.
- API: GET /gateway/ca.crt returns the public root cert (PEM) as a download,
sourced from Caddy's admin API (/pki/ca/local — matches the running gateway)
with an on-disk root.crt fallback. 404 unless tls=internal. GatewayInfo gains
`tls` and `ca_fingerprint` (SHA-256, for out-of-band verification). The CA
private key is never exposed — only the public root.
- UI: a "CA cert" button in the Gateway panel, shown only when tls=internal,
linking to the download with the fingerprint in its tooltip.
- Tests for the tls=off defaults and the 404-without-internal-tls path; docs note
the button + endpoint.
- Introduced `_write_castle_config` function to scatter nested config into separate YAML files for programs, services, and jobs.
- Updated `castle_root` fixture to utilize the new config writing method.
- Added tests for configuration aggregation and scattering in `test_health.py`.
- Removed legacy unit handling from `manifest.py` and refactored related code in `config.py`.
- Updated documentation to reflect new configuration directory structure.
- Removed obsolete unit tests related to unit expansion.
The gateway does two things — reverse-proxy services and serve static
frontends — but the dashboard/API route table only ever showed the proxy
routes, so 'serving a frontend' and 'proxying a service' looked like unrelated
features and castle-app/power-graph-app were invisible in the route view.
Now there's one concept: a route maps an address (path '/foo' or host 'foo.lan')
to a target of one kind — static (a built dist served by file_server), proxy
(a local service port), or remote (a service on another node).
- core: caddyfile.py gains compute_routes() — the single source of truth for
the route list; generate_caddyfile_from_registry renders it (output byte-for-
byte identical, verified against the live Caddyfile). Adds a GatewayRoute
dataclass.
- api: GatewayRoute model → {address, kind, target, name, node}; GET /gateway
builds from compute_routes (incl. config for static frontends + mesh for
remote), so the table matches what Caddy actually does.
- app: Gateway panel shows Address · Kind · Target for every route (static
frontends + host routes now appear); program detail shows 'Reachable at
/foo/ · served (static)' for static frontends.
- cli: 'castle gateway status' prints the full route table.
- docs: registry.md/design.md/CLAUDE.md describe routes as one concept with
three target kinds.
core 94 / cli 24 / api 52 green; ruff + app build clean; Caddyfile unchanged.
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.
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.
- 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.
