## Key Concepts

### Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

The provisioning platform uses declarative configuration to manage infrastructure. Instead of manually creating resources, you define what you want in Nickel configuration files, and the system makes it happen.

### Mode-Based Architecture

The system supports four operational modes:

- Solo: Single developer local development
- Multi-user: Team collaboration with shared services
- CI/CD: Automated pipeline execution
- Enterprise: Production deployment with strict compliance

### Extension System

Extensibility through:

- Providers: Cloud platform integrations (AWS, UpCloud, Local)
- Task Services: Infrastructure components (Kubernetes, databases, etc.)
- Clusters: Complete deployment configurations

### OCI-Native Distribution

Extensions and packages distributed as OCI artifacts, enabling:

- Industry-standard packaging
- Efficient caching and bandwidth
- Version pinning and rollback
- Air-gapped deployments

    ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

    📍 Next Steps:

    1. Verify configuration:
       cat /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/workspaces/workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl

    2. Check orchestrator is running:
       curl http://localhost:9090/health

    3. Start provisioning:
       provisioning server create --infra sgoyol --name web-01

### What Bootstrap Does

The bootstrap script automatically:

1. Detects your system (OS, CPU, RAM, architecture)
2. Verifies dependencies (Docker, Rust, Nushell)
3. Creates workspace directories (config, state, cache)
4. Validates Nickel configuration (syntax checking)
5. Exports configuration (Nickel → TOML files)
6. Initializes orchestrator (starts service in background)
7. Verifies installation (checks all files created)

## Section 3: Installation Validation

After bootstrap completes, verify that all components are working correctly.

### Step 3.1: Verify Workspace Directories

Bootstrap should have created workspace directories. Verify they exist:

    cd /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning

    # Check all required directories
    ls -la workspaces/workspace_librecloud/.orchestrator/data/queue/
    ls -la workspaces/workspace_librecloud/.kms/
    ls -la workspaces/workspace_librecloud/.providers/
    ls -la workspaces/workspace_librecloud/.taskservs/
    ls -la workspaces/workspace_librecloud/.clusters/

Expected Output:

    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x  2 user  group  64 Jan  7 10:30 .

    (directories exist and are accessible)

### Step 3.2: Verify Generated Configuration Files

Bootstrap should have exported Nickel configuration to TOML format:

    # Check generated files exist
    ls -la workspaces/workspace_librecloud/config/generated/

    # View workspace configuration
    cat workspaces/workspace_librecloud/config/generated/workspace.toml

    # View provider configuration
    cat workspaces/workspace_librecloud/config/generated/providers/upcloud.toml

    # View orchestrator configuration
    cat workspaces/workspace_librecloud/config/generated/platform/orchestrator.toml

Expected Output:

    config/
    ├── generated/
    │   ├── workspace.toml
    │   ├── providers/
    │   │   └── upcloud.toml
    │   └── platform/
    │       └── orchestrator.toml

### Step 3.3: Type-Check Nickel Configuration

Verify Nickel configuration files have valid syntax:

    cd /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/workspaces/workspace_librecloud

    # Type-check main workspace config
    nickel typecheck config/config.ncl
    # Expected: No output (success) or clear error messages

    # Type-check infrastructure configs
    nickel typecheck infra/wuji/main.ncl
    nickel typecheck infra/sgoyol/main.ncl

    # Use workspace utility for comprehensive validation
    nu workspace.nu validate
    # Expected: ✓ All files validated successfully

    # Type-check all Nickel files
    nu workspace.nu typecheck

Expected Output:

    ✓ All files validated successfully
    ✓ infra/wuji/main.ncl
    ✓ infra/sgoyol/main.ncl

### Step 3.4: Verify Orchestrator Service

The orchestrator service manages workflows and deployments:

    # Check if orchestrator is running (health check)
    curl http://localhost:9090/health
    # Expected: {"status": "healthy"} or similar response

    # If health check fails, check orchestrator logs
    tail -f /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/platform/orchestrator/data/orchestrator.log

    # Alternative: Check if orchestrator process is running
    ps aux | grep orchestrator
    # Expected: Running orchestrator process visible

Expected Output:

    {
      "status": "healthy",
      "uptime": "0:05:23"
    }

If Orchestrator Failed to Start:

Check logs and restart manually:

    cd /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/platform/orchestrator

    # Check log file
    cat data/orchestrator.log

    # Or start orchestrator manually
    ./scripts/start-orchestrator.nu --background

    # Verify it's running
    curl http://localhost:9090/health

### Step 3.5: Install Provisioning CLI (Optional)

You can install the provisioning CLI globally for easier access:

    # Option A: System-wide installation (requires sudo)
    cd /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning
    sudo ./scripts/install-provisioning.sh

    # Verify installation
    provisioning --version
    provisioning help

    # Option B: Add to PATH temporarily (current session only)
    export PATH="$PATH:/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/core/cli"

    # Verify
    provisioning --version

Expected Output:

    provisioning version 1.0.0

    Usage: provisioning [OPTIONS] COMMAND

    Commands:
      server     - Server management
      workspace  - Workspace management
      config     - Configuration management
      help       - Show help information

# Getting Started Guide

Welcome to Infrastructure Automation. This guide will walk you through your first steps with infrastructure automation, from basic setup to deploying your first infrastructure.

## What You’ll Learn

- Essential concepts and terminology
- How to configure your first environment
- Creating and managing infrastructure
- Basic server and service management
- Common workflows and best practices

## Prerequisites

Before starting this guide, ensure you have:

- ✅ Completed the Installation Guide
- ✅ Verified your installation with `provisioning --version`
- ✅ Basic familiarity with command-line interfaces

## Essential Concepts

### Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Provisioning uses declarative configuration to manage infrastructure. Instead of manually creating resources, you define what you want in configuration files, and the system makes it happen.

    You describe → System creates → Infrastructure exists

### Key Components

Component | Purpose | Example
--- | --- | ---
Providers | Cloud platforms | AWS, UpCloud, Local
Servers | Virtual machines | Web servers, databases
Task Services | Infrastructure software | Kubernetes, Docker, databases
Clusters | Grouped services | Web cluster, database cluster

### Configuration Languages

- Nickel: Primary configuration language for infrastructure definitions (type-safe, validated)
- TOML: User preferences and system settings
- YAML: Kubernetes manifests and service definitions

## First-Time Setup

### Step 1: Initialize Your Configuration

Create your personal configuration:

    # Initialize user configuration
    provisioning init config

    # This creates ~/.provisioning/config.user.toml

### Step 2: Verify Your Environment

    # Check your environment setup
    provisioning env

    # View comprehensive configuration
    provisioning allenv

You should see output like:

    ✅ Configuration loaded successfully
    ✅ All required tools available
    📁 Base path: /usr/local/provisioning
    🏠 User config: ~/.provisioning/config.user.toml

### Step 3: Explore Available Resources

    # List available providers
    provisioning list providers

    # List available task services
    provisioning list taskservs

    # List available clusters
    provisioning list clusters

## Your First Infrastructure

Let’s create a simple local infrastructure to learn the basics.

### Step 1: Create a Workspace

    # Create a new workspace directory
    mkdir ~/my-first-infrastructure
    cd ~/my-first-infrastructure

    # Initialize workspace
    provisioning generate infra --new local-demo

This creates:

    local-demo/
    ├── config/
    │   └── config.ncl     # Master Nickel configuration
    ├── infra/
    │   └── default/
    │       ├── main.ncl   # Infrastructure definition
    │       └── servers.ncl # Server configurations
    └── docs/              # Auto-generated guides

### Step 2: Examine the Configuration

    # View the generated configuration
    provisioning show settings --infra local-demo

### Step 3: Validate the Configuration

    # Validate syntax and structure
    provisioning validate config --infra local-demo

    # Should show: ✅ Configuration validation passed!

### Step 4: Deploy Infrastructure (Check Mode)

    # Dry run - see what would be created
    provisioning server create --infra local-demo --check

    # This shows planned changes without making them

### Step 5: Create Your Infrastructure

    # Create the actual infrastructure
    provisioning server create --infra local-demo

    # Wait for completion
    provisioning server list --infra local-demo

## Working with Services

### Installing Your First Service

Let’s install a containerized service:

    # Install Docker/containerd
    provisioning taskserv create containerd --infra local-demo

    # Verify installation
    provisioning taskserv list --infra local-demo

### Installing Kubernetes

For container orchestration:

    # Install Kubernetes
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --infra local-demo

    # This may take several minutes...

### Checking Service Status

    # Show all services on your infrastructure
    provisioning show servers --infra local-demo

    # Show specific service details
    provisioning show servers web-01 taskserv kubernetes --infra local-demo

## Understanding Commands

### Command Structure

All commands follow this pattern:

    provisioning [global-options] <command> [command-options] [arguments]

### Global Options

Option | Short | Description
--- | --- | ---
`--infra` | `-i` | Specify infrastructure
`--check` | `-c` | Dry run mode
`--debug` | `-x` | Enable debug output
`--yes` | `-y` | Auto-confirm actions

### Essential Commands

Command | Purpose | Example
--- | --- | ---
`help` | Show help | `provisioning help`
`env` | Show environment | `provisioning env`
`list` | List resources | `provisioning list servers`
`show` | Show details | `provisioning show settings`
`validate` | Validate config | `provisioning validate config`

## Working with Multiple Environments

### Environment Concepts

The system supports multiple environments:

- dev - Development and testing
- test - Integration testing
- prod - Production deployment

### Switching Environments

    # Set environment for this session
    export PROVISIONING_ENV=dev
    provisioning env

    # Or specify per command
    provisioning --environment dev server create

### Environment-Specific Configuration

Create environment configs:

    # Development environment
    provisioning init config dev

    # Production environment
    provisioning init config prod

## Common Workflows

### Workflow 1: Development Environment

    # 1. Create development workspace
    mkdir ~/dev-environment
    cd ~/dev-environment

    # 2. Generate infrastructure
    provisioning generate infra --new dev-setup

    # 3. Customize for development
    # Edit settings.ncl to add development tools

    # 4. Deploy
    provisioning server create --infra dev-setup --check
    provisioning server create --infra dev-setup

    # 5. Install development services
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --infra dev-setup
    provisioning taskserv create containerd --infra dev-setup

### Workflow 2: Service Updates

    # Check for service updates
    provisioning taskserv check-updates

    # Update specific service
    provisioning taskserv update kubernetes --infra dev-setup

    # Verify update
    provisioning taskserv versions kubernetes

### Workflow 3: Infrastructure Scaling

    # Add servers to existing infrastructure
    # Edit settings.ncl to add more servers

    # Apply changes
    provisioning server create --infra dev-setup

    # Install services on new servers
    provisioning taskserv create containerd --infra dev-setup

## Interactive Mode

### Starting Interactive Shell

    # Start Nushell with provisioning loaded
    provisioning nu

In the interactive shell, you have access to all provisioning functions:

    # Inside Nushell session
    use lib_provisioning *

    # Check environment
    show_env

    # List available functions
    help commands | where name =~ "provision"

### Useful Interactive Commands

    # Show detailed server information
    find_servers "web-*" | table

    # Get cost estimates
    servers_walk_by_costs $settings "" false false "stdout"

    # Check task service status
    taskservs_list | where status == "running"

## Configuration Management

### Understanding Configuration Files

1. System Defaults: `config.defaults.toml` - System-wide defaults
2. User Config: `~/.provisioning/config.user.toml` - Your preferences
3. Environment Config: `config.{env}.toml` - Environment-specific settings
4. Infrastructure Config: `settings.ncl` - Infrastructure definitions

### Configuration Hierarchy

    Infrastructure settings.ncl
        ↓ (overrides)
    Environment config.{env}.toml
        ↓ (overrides)
    User config.user.toml
        ↓ (overrides)
    System config.defaults.toml

### Customizing Your Configuration

    # Edit user configuration
    provisioning sops ~/.provisioning/config.user.toml

    # Or using your preferred editor
    nano ~/.provisioning/config.user.toml

Example customizations:

    [debug]
    enabled = true        # Enable debug mode by default
    log_level = "debug"   # Verbose logging

    [providers]
    default = "aws"       # Use AWS as default provider

    [output]
    format = "json"       # Prefer JSON output

## Monitoring and Observability

### Checking System Status

    # Overall system health
    provisioning env

    # Infrastructure status
    provisioning show servers --infra dev-setup

    # Service status
    provisioning taskserv list --infra dev-setup

### Logging and Debugging

    # Enable debug mode for troubleshooting
    provisioning --debug server create --infra dev-setup --check

    # View logs for specific operations
    provisioning show logs --infra dev-setup

### Cost Monitoring

    # Show cost estimates
    provisioning show cost --infra dev-setup

    # Detailed cost breakdown
    provisioning server price --infra dev-setup

## Best Practices

### 1. Configuration Management

- ✅ Use version control for infrastructure definitions
- ✅ Test changes in development before production
- ✅ Use `--check` mode to preview changes
- ✅ Keep user configuration separate from infrastructure

### 2. Security

- ✅ Use SOPS for encrypting sensitive data
- ✅ Regular key rotation for cloud providers
- ✅ Principle of least privilege for access
- ✅ Audit infrastructure changes

### 3. Operational Excellence

- ✅ Monitor infrastructure costs regularly
- ✅ Keep services updated
- ✅ Document custom configurations
- ✅ Plan for disaster recovery

### 4. Development Workflow

    # 1. Always validate before applying
    provisioning validate config --infra my-infra

    # 2. Use check mode first
    provisioning server create --infra my-infra --check

    # 3. Apply changes incrementally
    provisioning server create --infra my-infra

    # 4. Verify results
    provisioning show servers --infra my-infra

    provisioning cluster create production --secrets secrets/production.enc

    # 4. Verify deployment
    orch tasks --status completed

## Debug and Check Mode

### Debug Mode

Enable verbose logging with `--debug` or `-x` flag:

    # Server creation with debug output
    provisioning server create --debug
    provisioning server create -x

    # Taskserv creation with debug
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --debug

    # Show detailed error traces
    provisioning --debug taskserv create kubernetes

### Check Mode (Dry Run)

Preview changes without applying them with `--check` or `-c` flag:

    # Check what servers would be created
    provisioning server create --check
    provisioning server create -c

    # Check taskserv installation
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --check

    # Check cluster creation
    provisioning cluster create buildkit --check

    # Combine with debug for detailed preview
    provisioning server create --check --debug

### Auto-Confirm Mode

Skip confirmation prompts with `--yes` or `-y` flag:

    # Auto-confirm server creation
    provisioning server create --yes
    provisioning server create -y

    # Auto-confirm deletion
    provisioning server delete --yes

### Wait Mode

Wait for operations to complete with `--wait` or `-w` flag:

    # Wait for server creation to complete
    provisioning server create --wait

    # Wait for taskserv installation
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --wait

### Infrastructure Selection

Specify target infrastructure with `--infra` or `-i` flag:

    # Create servers in specific infrastructure
    provisioning server create --infra production
    provisioning server create -i production

    # List servers in specific infrastructure
    provisioning server list --infra production

## Output Formats

### JSON Output

    # Output as JSON
    provisioning server list --out json
    provisioning taskserv list --out json

    # Pipeline JSON output
    provisioning server list --out json | jq '.[] | select(.status == "running")'

### YAML Output

    # Output as YAML
    provisioning server list --out yaml
    provisioning taskserv list --out yaml

    # Pipeline YAML output
    provisioning server list --out yaml | yq '.[] | select(.status == "running")'

### Table Output (Default)

    # Output as table (default)
    provisioning server list
    provisioning server list --out table

    # Pretty-printed table
    provisioning server list | table

### Text Output

    # Output as plain text
    provisioning server list --out text

## Performance Tips

### Use Plugins for Frequent Operations

    # ❌ Slow: HTTP API (50 ms per call)
    for i in 1..100 { http post http://localhost:9998/encrypt { data: "secret" } }

    # ✅ Fast: Plugin (5 ms per call, 10x faster)
    for i in 1..100 { kms encrypt "secret" }

### Batch Operations

    # Use batch workflows for multiple operations
    provisioning batch submit workflows/multi-cloud-deploy.ncl

### Check Mode for Testing

    # Always test with --check first
    provisioning server create --check
    provisioning server create  # Only after verification

## Help System

### Command-Specific Help

    # Show help for specific command
    provisioning help server
    provisioning help taskserv
    provisioning help cluster
    provisioning help workflow
    provisioning help batch

    # Show help for command category
    provisioning help infra
    provisioning help orch
    provisioning help dev
    provisioning help ws
    provisioning help config

# Installation

This guide walks you through installing the Provisioning Platform on your system.

## Overview

The installation process involves:

1. Cloning the repository
2. Installing Nushell plugins
3. Setting up configuration
4. Initializing your first workspace

Estimated time: 15-20 minutes

## Step 1: Clone the Repository

    # Clone the repository
    git clone https://github.com/provisioning/provisioning-platform.git
    cd provisioning-platform

    # Checkout the latest stable release (optional)
    git checkout tags/v3.5.0

## Step 2: Install Nushell Plugins

The platform uses multiple Nushell plugins for enhanced functionality.

### Install nu_plugin_tera (Template Rendering)

    # Install from crates.io
    cargo install nu_plugin_tera

    # Register with Nushell
    nu -c "plugin add ~/.cargo/bin/nu_plugin_tera; plugin use tera"

### Verify Plugin Installation

    # Start Nushell
    nu

    # List installed plugins
    plugin list

    # Expected output should include:
    # - tera

## Step 3: Add CLI to PATH

Make the `provisioning` command available globally:

    # Option 1: Symlink to /usr/local/bin (recommended)
    sudo ln -s "$(pwd)/provisioning/core/cli/provisioning" /usr/local/bin/provisioning

    # Option 2: Add to PATH in your shell profile
    echo 'export PATH="$PATH:'"$(pwd)"'/provisioning/core/cli"' >> ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc
    source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc

    # Verify installation
    provisioning --version

## Step 4: Generate Age Encryption Keys

Generate keys for encrypting sensitive configuration:

    # Create Age key directory
    mkdir -p ~/.config/provisioning/age

    # Generate private key
    age-keygen -o ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt

    # Extract public key
    age-keygen -y ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt > ~/.config/provisioning/age/public_key.txt

    # Secure the keys
    chmod 600 ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt
    chmod 644 ~/.config/provisioning/age/public_key.txt

## Step 5: Configure Environment

Set up basic environment variables:

    # Create environment file
    cat > ~/.provisioning/env << 'ENVEOF'
    # Provisioning Environment Configuration
    export PROVISIONING_ENV=dev
    export PROVISIONING_PATH=$(pwd)
    export PROVISIONING_KAGE=~/.config/provisioning/age
    ENVEOF

    # Source the environment
    source ~/.provisioning/env

    # Add to shell profile for persistence
    echo 'source ~/.provisioning/env' >> ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc

## Step 6: Initialize Workspace

Create your first workspace:

    # Initialize a new workspace
    provisioning workspace init my-first-workspace

    # Expected output:
    # ✓ Workspace 'my-first-workspace' created successfully
    # ✓ Configuration template generated
    # ✓ Workspace activated

    # Verify workspace
    provisioning workspace list

## Step 7: Validate Installation

Run the installation verification:

    # Check system configuration
    provisioning validate config

    # Check all dependencies
    provisioning env

    # View detailed environment
    provisioning allenv

Expected output should show:

- ✅ All core dependencies installed
- ✅ Age keys configured
- ✅ Workspace initialized
- ✅ Configuration valid

## Optional: Install Platform Services

If you plan to use platform services (orchestrator, control center, etc.):

    # Build platform services
    cd provisioning/platform

    # Build orchestrator
    cd orchestrator
    cargo build --release
    cd ..

    # Build control center
    cd control-center
    cargo build --release
    cd ..

    # Build KMS service
    cd kms-service
    cargo build --release
    cd ..

    # Verify builds
    ls */target/release/

## Optional: Install Platform with Installer

Use the interactive installer for a guided setup:

    # Build the installer
    cd provisioning/platform/installer
    cargo build --release

    # Run interactive installer
    ./target/release/provisioning-installer

    # Or headless installation
    ./target/release/provisioning-installer --headless --mode solo --yes

## Troubleshooting

### Nushell Plugin Not Found

If plugins aren’t recognized:

    # Rebuild plugin registry
    nu -c "plugin list; plugin use tera"

### Permission Denied

If you encounter permission errors:

    # Ensure proper ownership
    sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.config/provisioning

    # Check PATH
    echo $PATH | grep provisioning

### Age Keys Not Found

If encryption fails:

    # Verify keys exist
    ls -la ~/.config/provisioning/age/

    # Regenerate if needed
    age-keygen -o ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt

## Next Steps

Once installation is complete, proceed to: → First Deployment

## Additional Resources

- Detailed Installation Guide
- Workspace Management
- Troubleshooting Guide

# First Deployment

This guide walks you through deploying your first infrastructure using the Provisioning Platform.

## Overview

In this chapter, you’ll:

1. Configure a simple infrastructure
2. Create your first server
3. Install a task service (Kubernetes)
4. Verify the deployment

Estimated time: 10-15 minutes

## Step 1: Configure Infrastructure

Create a basic infrastructure configuration:

    # Generate infrastructure template
    provisioning generate infra --new my-infra

    # This creates: workspace/infra/my-infra/
    # - config.toml (infrastructure settings)
    # - settings.ncl (Nickel configuration)

## Step 2: Edit Configuration

Edit the generated configuration:

    # Edit with your preferred editor
    $EDITOR workspace/infra/my-infra/settings.ncl

Example configuration:

    import provisioning.settings as cfg

    # Infrastructure settings
    infra_settings = cfg.InfraSettings {
        name = "my-infra"
        provider = "local"  # Start with local provider
        environment = "development"
    }

    # Server configuration
    servers = [
        {
            hostname = "dev-server-01"
            cores = 2
            memory = 4096  # MB
            disk = 50  # GB
        }
    ]

## Step 3: Create Server (Check Mode)

First, run in check mode to see what would happen:

    # Check mode - no actual changes
    provisioning server create --infra my-infra --check

    # Expected output:
    # ✓ Validation passed
    # ⚠ Check mode: No changes will be made
    #
    # Would create:
    # - Server: dev-server-01 (2 cores, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB disk)

## Step 4: Create Server (Real)

If check mode looks good, create the server:

    # Create server
    provisioning server create --infra my-infra

    # Expected output:
    # ✓ Creating server: dev-server-01
    # ✓ Server created successfully
    # ✓ IP Address: 192.168.1.100
    # ✓ SSH access: ssh user@192.168.1.100

## Step 5: Verify Server

Check server status:

    # List all servers
    provisioning server list

    # Get detailed server info
    provisioning server info dev-server-01

    # SSH to server (optional)
    provisioning server ssh dev-server-01

## Step 6: Install Kubernetes (Check Mode)

Install a task service on the server:

    # Check mode first
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --infra my-infra --check

    # Expected output:
    # ✓ Validation passed
    # ⚠ Check mode: No changes will be made
    #
    # Would install:
    # - Kubernetes v1.28.0
    # - Required dependencies: containerd, etcd
    # - On servers: dev-server-01

## Step 7: Install Kubernetes (Real)

Proceed with installation:

    # Install Kubernetes
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --infra my-infra --wait

    # This will:
    # 1. Check dependencies
    # 2. Install containerd
    # 3. Install etcd
    # 4. Install Kubernetes
    # 5. Configure and start services

    # Monitor progress
    provisioning workflow monitor <task-id>

## Step 8: Verify Installation

Check that Kubernetes is running:

    # List installed task services
    provisioning taskserv list --infra my-infra

    # Check Kubernetes status
    provisioning server ssh dev-server-01
    kubectl get nodes  # On the server
    exit

    # Or remotely
    provisioning server exec dev-server-01 -- kubectl get nodes

## Common Deployment Patterns

### Pattern 1: Multiple Servers

Create multiple servers at once:

    servers = [
        {hostname = "web-01", cores = 2, memory = 4096},
        {hostname = "web-02", cores = 2, memory = 4096},
        {hostname = "db-01", cores = 4, memory = 8192}
    ]

    provisioning server create --infra my-infra --servers web-01,web-02,db-01

### Pattern 2: Server with Multiple Task Services

Install multiple services on one server:

    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes,cilium,postgres --infra my-infra --servers web-01

### Pattern 3: Complete Cluster

Deploy a complete cluster configuration:

    provisioning cluster create buildkit --infra my-infra

## Deployment Workflow

The typical deployment workflow:

    # 1. Initialize workspace
    provisioning workspace init production

    # 2. Generate infrastructure
    provisioning generate infra --new prod-infra

    # 3. Configure (edit settings.ncl)
    $EDITOR workspace/infra/prod-infra/settings.ncl

    # 4. Validate configuration
    provisioning validate config --infra prod-infra

    # 5. Create servers (check mode)
    provisioning server create --infra prod-infra --check

    # 6. Create servers (real)
    provisioning server create --infra prod-infra

    # 7. Install task services
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --infra prod-infra --wait

    # 8. Deploy cluster (if needed)
    provisioning cluster create my-cluster --infra prod-infra

    # 9. Verify
    provisioning server list
    provisioning taskserv list

## Troubleshooting

### Server Creation Fails

    # Check logs
    provisioning server logs dev-server-01

    # Try with debug mode
    provisioning --debug server create --infra my-infra

### Task Service Installation Fails

    # Check task service logs
    provisioning taskserv logs kubernetes

    # Retry installation
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --infra my-infra --force

### SSH Connection Issues

    # Verify SSH key
    ls -la ~/.ssh/

    # Test SSH manually
    ssh -v user@<server-ip>

    # Use provisioning SSH helper
    provisioning server ssh dev-server-01 --debug

    # Check Kubernetes nodes
    provisioning server ssh dev-server-01 -- kubectl get nodes

    # Expected output:
    # NAME            STATUS   ROLES           AGE   VERSION
    # dev-server-01   Ready    control-plane   10m   v1.28.0

    # Check Kubernetes pods
    provisioning server ssh dev-server-01 -- kubectl get pods -A

    # All pods should be Running or Completed

## Step 5: Verify Platform Services (Optional)

If you installed platform services:

### Orchestrator

    # Check orchestrator health
    curl http://localhost:8080/health

    # Expected:
    # {"status":"healthy","version":"0.1.0"}

    # List tasks
    curl http://localhost:8080/tasks

### Control Center

    # Check control center health
    curl http://localhost:9090/health

    # Test policy evaluation
    curl -X POST http://localhost:9090/policies/evaluate \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"principal":{"id":"test"},"action":{"id":"read"},"resource":{"id":"test"}}'

### KMS Service

    # Check KMS health
    curl http://localhost:8082/api/v1/kms/health

    # Test encryption
    echo "test" | provisioning kms encrypt

## Step 6: Run Health Checks

Run comprehensive health checks:

    # Check all components
    provisioning health check

    # Expected output:
    # ✓ Configuration: OK
    # ✓ Servers: 1/1 healthy
    # ✓ Task Services: 3/3 running
    # ✓ Platform Services: 3/3 healthy
    # ✓ Network Connectivity: OK
    # ✓ Encryption Keys: OK

## Step 7: Verify Workflows

If you used workflows:

    # List all workflows
    provisioning workflow list

    # Check specific workflow
    provisioning workflow status <workflow-id>

    # View workflow stats
    provisioning workflow stats

## Common Verification Checks

### DNS Resolution (If CoreDNS Installed)

    # Test DNS resolution
    dig @localhost test.provisioning.local

    # Check CoreDNS status
    provisioning server ssh dev-server-01 -- systemctl status coredns

### Network Connectivity

    # Test server-to-server connectivity
    provisioning server ssh dev-server-01 -- ping -c 3 dev-server-02

    # Check firewall rules
    provisioning server ssh dev-server-01 -- sudo iptables -L

### Storage and Resources

    # Check disk usage
    provisioning server ssh dev-server-01 -- df -h

    # Check memory usage
    provisioning server ssh dev-server-01 -- free -h

    # Check CPU usage
    provisioning server ssh dev-server-01 -- top -bn1 | head -20

## Troubleshooting Failed Verifications

### Configuration Validation Failed

    # View detailed error
    provisioning validate config --verbose

    # Check specific infrastructure
    provisioning validate config --infra my-infra

### Server Unreachable

    # Check server logs
    provisioning server logs dev-server-01

    # Try debug mode
    provisioning --debug server ssh dev-server-01

### Task Service Not Running

    # Check service logs
    provisioning taskserv logs kubernetes

    # Restart service
    provisioning taskserv restart kubernetes --infra my-infra

### Platform Service Down

    # Check service status
    provisioning platform status orchestrator

    # View service logs
    provisioning platform logs orchestrator --tail 100

    # Restart service
    provisioning platform restart orchestrator

## Performance Verification

### Response Time Tests

    # Measure server response time
    time provisioning server info dev-server-01

    # Measure task service response time
    time provisioning taskserv list

    # Measure workflow submission time
    time provisioning workflow submit test-workflow.ncl

### Resource Usage

    # Check platform resource usage
    docker stats  # If using Docker

    # Check system resources
    provisioning system resources

## Security Verification

### Encryption

    # Verify encryption keys
    ls -la ~/.config/provisioning/age/

    # Test encryption/decryption
    echo "test" | provisioning kms encrypt | provisioning kms decrypt

### Authentication (If Enabled)

    # Test login
    provisioning login --username admin

    # Verify token
    provisioning whoami

    # Test MFA (if enabled)
    provisioning mfa verify <code>

# Platform Service Configuration

After verifying your installation, the next step is to configure the platform services. This guide walks you through setting up your provisioning platform for deployment.

## What You’ll Learn

- Understanding platform services and configuration modes
- Setting up platform configurations with `setup-platform-config.sh`
- Choosing the right deployment mode for your use case
- Configuring services interactively or with quick mode
- Running platform services with your configuration

## Prerequisites

Before configuring platform services, ensure you have:

- ✅ Completed Installation Steps
- ✅ Verified installation with Verification
- ✅ Nickel 0.10+ (for configuration language)
- ✅ Nushell 0.109+ (for scripts)
- ✅ TypeDialog (optional, for interactive configuration)

## Platform Services Overview

The provisioning platform consists of 8 core services:

Service | Purpose | Default Mode
--- | --- | ---
orchestrator | Main orchestration engine | Required
control-center | Web UI and management console | Required
mcp-server | Model Context Protocol integration | Optional
vault-service | Secrets management and encryption | Required
extension-registry | Extension distribution system | Required
rag | Retrieval-Augmented Generation | Optional
ai-service | AI model integration | Optional
provisioning-daemon | Background operations | Required

## Deployment Modes

Choose a deployment mode based on your needs:

Mode | Resources | Use Case
--- | --- | ---
solo | 2 CPU, 4 GB RAM | Development, testing, local machines
multiuser | 4 CPU, 8 GB RAM | Team staging, team development
cicd | 8 CPU, 16 GB RAM | CI/CD pipelines, automated testing
enterprise | 16+ CPU, 32+ GB | Production, high-availability

## Step 1: Initialize Configuration Script

The configuration system is managed by a standalone script that doesn’t require the main installer:

    # Navigate to the provisioning directory
    cd /path/to/project-provisioning

    # Verify the setup script exists
    ls -la provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh

    # Make script executable
    chmod +x provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh

## Step 2: Choose Configuration Method

### Method A: Interactive TypeDialog Configuration (Recommended)

TypeDialog provides an interactive form-based configuration interface available in multiple backends (web, TUI, CLI).

#### Quick Interactive Setup (All Services at Once)

    # Run interactive setup - prompts for choices
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh

    # Follow the prompts to:
    # 1. Choose action (TypeDialog, Quick Mode, Clean, List)
    # 2. Select service (or all services)
    # 3. Choose deployment mode
    # 4. Select backend (web, tui, cli)

#### Configure Specific Service with TypeDialog

    # Configure orchestrator in solo mode with web UI
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh \
      --service orchestrator \
      --mode solo \
      --backend web

    # TypeDialog opens browser → User fills form → Config generated

When to use TypeDialog:

- First-time setup with visual form guidance
- Updating configuration with validation
- Multiple services needing coordinated changes
- Team environments where UI is preferred

### Method B: Quick Mode Configuration (Fastest)

Quick mode automatically creates all service configurations from defaults overlaid with mode-specific tuning.

    # Quick setup for solo development mode
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --quick-mode --mode solo

    # Quick setup for enterprise production
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --quick-mode --mode enterprise

    # Result: All 8 services configured immediately with appropriate resource limits

When to use Quick Mode:

- Initial setup with standard defaults
- Switching deployment modes
- CI/CD automated setup
- Scripted/programmatic configuration

### Method C: Manual Nickel Configuration

For advanced users who prefer editing configuration files directly:

    # View schema definition
    cat provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/orchestrator.ncl

    # View default values
    cat provisioning/schemas/platform/defaults/orchestrator-defaults.ncl

    # View mode overlay
    cat provisioning/schemas/platform/defaults/deployment/solo-defaults.ncl

    # Edit configuration directly
    vim provisioning/config/runtime/orchestrator.solo.ncl

    # Validate Nickel syntax
    nickel typecheck provisioning/config/runtime/orchestrator.solo.ncl

    # Regenerate TOML from edited config (CRITICAL STEP)
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --generate-toml

When to use Manual Edit:

- Advanced customization beyond form options
- Programmatic configuration generation
- Integration with CI/CD systems
- Custom workspace-specific overrides

## Step 3: Understand Configuration Layers

The configuration system uses layered composition:

    1. Schema (Type contract)
       ↓ Defines valid fields and constraints

    2. Service Defaults (Base values)
       ↓ Default configuration for each service

    3. Mode Overlay (Mode-specific tuning)
       ↓ solo, multiuser, cicd, or enterprise settings

    4. User Customization (Overrides)
       ↓ User-specific or workspace-specific changes

    5. Runtime Config (Final result)
       ↓ provisioning/config/runtime/orchestrator.solo.ncl

    6. TOML Export (Service consumption)
       ↓ provisioning/config/runtime/generated/orchestrator.solo.toml

All layers are automatically composed and validated.

## Step 4: Verify Generated Configuration

After running the setup script, verify the configuration was created:

    # List generated runtime configurations
    ls -la provisioning/config/runtime/

    # Check generated TOML files
    ls -la provisioning/config/runtime/generated/

    # Verify TOML is valid
    cat provisioning/config/runtime/generated/orchestrator.solo.toml | head -20

You should see files for all 8 services in both the runtime directory (Nickel format) and the generated directory (TOML format).

## Step 5: Run Platform Services

After successful configuration, services can be started:

### Running a Single Service

    # Set deployment mode
    export ORCHESTRATOR_MODE=solo

    # Run the orchestrator service
    cd provisioning/platform
    cargo run -p orchestrator

### Running Multiple Services

    # Terminal 1: Vault Service (secrets management)
    export VAULT_MODE=solo
    cargo run -p vault-service

    # Terminal 2: Orchestrator (main service)
    export ORCHESTRATOR_MODE=solo
    cargo run -p orchestrator

    # Terminal 3: Control Center (web UI)
    export CONTROL_CENTER_MODE=solo
    cargo run -p control-center

    # Access web UI at http://localhost:8080 (default)

### Docker-Based Deployment

    # Start all services in Docker (requires docker-compose.yml)
    cd provisioning/platform/infrastructure/docker
    docker-compose -f docker-compose.solo.yml up

    # Or for enterprise mode
    docker-compose -f docker-compose.enterprise.yml up

## Step 6: Verify Services Are Running

    # Check orchestrator status
    curl http://localhost:9000/health

    # Check control center web UI
    open http://localhost:8080

    # View service logs
    export ORCHESTRATOR_MODE=solo
    cargo run -p orchestrator -- --log-level debug

## Customizing Configuration

### Scenario: Change Deployment Mode

If you need to switch from solo to multiuser mode:

    # Option 1: Re-run setup with new mode
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --quick-mode --mode multiuser

    # Option 2: Interactive update via TypeDialog
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --service orchestrator --mode multiuser --backend web

    # Result: All configurations updated for multiuser mode
    #         Services read from provisioning/config/runtime/generated/orchestrator.multiuser.toml

### Scenario: Manual Configuration Edit

If you need fine-grained control:

    # 1. Edit the Nickel configuration directly
    vim provisioning/config/runtime/orchestrator.solo.ncl

    # 2. Make your changes (for example, change port, add environment variables)

    # 3. Validate syntax
    nickel typecheck provisioning/config/runtime/orchestrator.solo.ncl

    # 4. CRITICAL: Regenerate TOML (services won't see changes without this)
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --generate-toml

    # 5. Verify TOML was updated
    stat provisioning/config/runtime/generated/orchestrator.solo.toml

    # 6. Restart service with new configuration
    pkill orchestrator
    export ORCHESTRATOR_MODE=solo
    cargo run -p orchestrator

### Scenario: Workspace-Specific Overrides

For workspace-specific customization:

    # Create workspace override file
    mkdir -p workspace_myworkspace/config
    cat > workspace_myworkspace/config/platform-overrides.ncl <<'EOF'
    # Workspace-specific settings
    {
      orchestrator = {
        server.port = 9999,  # Custom port
        workspace.name = "myworkspace"
      },

      control_center = {
        workspace.name = "myworkspace"
      }
    }
    EOF

    # Generate config with workspace overrides
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --workspace workspace_myworkspace

    # Configuration system merges: defaults + mode overlay + workspace overrides

## Available Configuration Commands

    # List all available modes
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --list-modes
    # Output: solo, multiuser, cicd, enterprise

    # List all configurable services
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --list-services
    # Output: orchestrator, control-center, mcp-server, vault-service, extension-registry, rag, ai-service, provisioning-daemon

    # List current configurations
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --list-configs
    # Output: Shows current runtime configurations and their status

    # Clean all runtime configurations (use with caution)
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --clean
    # Removes: provisioning/config/runtime/*.ncl
    #          provisioning/config/runtime/generated/*.toml

## Troubleshooting Configuration

### Issue: Script Fails with “Nickel not found”

    # Install Nickel
    # macOS
    brew install nickel

    # Linux
    cargo install nickel --version 0.10

    # Verify installation
    nickel --version
    # Expected: 0.10.0 or higher

### Issue: Configuration Won’t Generate TOML

    # Check Nickel syntax
    nickel typecheck provisioning/config/runtime/orchestrator.solo.ncl

    # If errors found, view detailed message
    nickel typecheck -i provisioning/config/runtime/orchestrator.solo.ncl

    # Try manual export
    nickel export --format toml provisioning/config/runtime/orchestrator.solo.ncl

### Issue: Service Can’t Read Configuration

    # Verify TOML file exists
    ls -la provisioning/config/runtime/generated/orchestrator.solo.toml

    # Verify file is valid TOML
    head -20 provisioning/config/runtime/generated/orchestrator.solo.toml

    # Check service is looking in right location
    echo $ORCHESTRATOR_MODE  # Should be set to 'solo', 'multiuser', etc.

    # Verify environment variable is correct
    export ORCHESTRATOR_MODE=solo
    cargo run -p orchestrator --verbose

### Issue: Services Won’t Start After Config Change

    # If you edited .ncl file manually, TOML must be regenerated
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --generate-toml

    # Verify new TOML was created
    stat provisioning/config/runtime/generated/orchestrator.solo.toml

    # Check modification time (should be recent)
    ls -lah provisioning/config/runtime/generated/orchestrator.solo.toml

## Important Notes

### 🔒 Runtime Configurations Are Private

Files in `provisioning/config/runtime/` are gitignored because:

- May contain encrypted secrets or credentials
- Deployment-specific (different per environment)
- User-customized (each developer/machine has different needs)

### 📘 Schemas Are Public

Files in `provisioning/schemas/platform/` are version-controlled because:

- Define product structure and constraints
- Part of official releases
- Source of truth for configuration format
- Shared across the team

### 🔄 Configuration Is Idempotent

The setup script is safe to run multiple times:

    # Safe: Updates only what's needed
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --quick-mode --mode enterprise

    # Safe: Doesn't overwrite without --clean
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --generate-toml

    # Only deletes on explicit request
    ./provisioning/scripts/setup-platform-config.sh --clean

### ⚠️ Installer Status

The full provisioning installer (`provisioning/scripts/install.sh`) is not yet implemented. Currently:

- ✅ Configuration setup script is standalone and ready to use
- ⏳ Full installer integration is planned for future release
- ✅ Manual workflow works perfectly without installer
- ✅ CI/CD integration available now

## Next Steps

After completing platform configuration:

1. Run Services: Start your platform services with configured settings
2. Access Web UI: Open Control Center at http://localhost:8080 (default)
3. Create First Infrastructure: Deploy your first servers and clusters
4. Set Up Extensions: Configure providers and task services for your needs
5. Backup Configuration: Back up runtime configs to private repository

# Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) System

Status: ✅ Production-Ready (SurrealDB 1.5.0+, 22/22 tests passing)

The RAG system enables the AI service to access, retrieve, and reason over infrastructure documentation, schemas, and past configurations. This allows the AI to generate contextually accurate infrastructure configurations and provide intelligent troubleshooting advice grounded in actual platform knowledge.

## Architecture Overview

The RAG system consists of:

1. Document Store: SurrealDB vector store with semantic indexing
2. Hybrid Search: Vector similarity + BM25 keyword search
3. Chunk Management: Intelligent document chunking for code and markdown
4. Context Ranking: Relevance scoring for retrieved documents
5. Semantic Cache: Deduplication of repeated queries

## Core Components

### 1. Vector Embeddings

The system uses embedding models to convert documents into vector representations:

    ┌─────────────────────┐
    │ Document Source     │
    │ (Markdown, Code)    │
    └──────────┬──────────┘
               │
               ▼
    ┌──────────────────────────────────┐
    │ Chunking & Tokenization          │
    │ - Code-aware splits              │
    │ - Markdown aware                 │
    │ - Preserves context              │
    └──────────┬───────────────────────┘
               │
               ▼
    ┌──────────────────────────────────┐
    │ Embedding Model                  │
    │ (OpenAI Ada, Anthropic, Local)   │
    └──────────┬───────────────────────┘
               │
               ▼
    ┌──────────────────────────────────┐
    │ Vector Storage (SurrealDB)       │
    │ - Vector index                   │
    │ - Metadata indexed               │
    │ - BM25 index for keywords        │
    └──────────────────────────────────┘

### 2. SurrealDB Integration

SurrealDB serves as the vector database and knowledge store:

    # Configuration in provisioning/schemas/ai.ncl
    let {
      rag = {
        enabled = true,
        db_url = "surreal://localhost:8000",
        namespace = "provisioning",
        database = "ai_rag",

        # Collections for different document types
        collections = {
          documentation = {
            chunking_strategy = "markdown",
            chunk_size = 1024,
            overlap = 256,
          },
          schemas = {
            chunking_strategy = "code",
            chunk_size = 512,
            overlap = 128,
          },
          deployments = {
            chunking_strategy = "json",
            chunk_size = 2048,
            overlap = 512,
          },
        },

        # Embedding configuration
        embedding = {
          provider = "openai",  # or "anthropic", "local"
          model = "text-embedding-3-small",
          cache_vectors = true,
        },

        # Search configuration
        search = {
          hybrid_enabled = true,
          vector_weight = 0.7,
          keyword_weight = 0.3,
          top_k = 5,  # Number of results to return
          semantic_cache = true,
        },
      }
    }

### 3. Document Chunking

Intelligent chunking preserves context while managing token limits:

#### Markdown Chunking Strategy

    Input Document: provisioning/docs/src/guides/from-scratch.md

    Chunks:
      [1] Header + first section (up to 1024 tokens)
      [2] Next logical section + overlap with [1]
      [3] Code examples preserve as atomic units
      [4] Continue with overlap...

    Each chunk includes:
      - Original section heading (for context)
      - Content
      - Source file and line numbers
      - Metadata (doctype, category, version)

#### Code Chunking Strategy

    Input Document: provisioning/schemas/main.ncl

    Chunks:
      [1] Top-level let binding + comments
      [2] Function definition (atomic, preserves signature)
      [3] Type definition (atomic, preserves interface)
      [4] Implementation blocks with context overlap

    Each chunk preserves:
      - Type signatures
      - Function signatures
      - Import statements needed for context
      - Comments and docstrings

## Hybrid Search

The system implements dual search strategy for optimal results:

### Vector Similarity Search

    // Find semantically similar documents
    async fn vector_search(query: &str, top_k: usize) -> Vec<Document> {
        let embedding = embed(query).await?;

        // L2 distance in SurrealDB
        db.query("
            SELECT *, vector::similarity::cosine(embedding, $embedding) AS score
            FROM documents
            WHERE embedding <~> $embedding
            ORDER BY score DESC
            LIMIT $top_k
        ")
        .bind(("embedding", embedding))
        .bind(("top_k", top_k))
        .await
    }

Use case: Semantic understanding of intent

- Query: “How to configure PostgreSQL”
- Finds: Documents about database configuration, examples, schemas

### BM25 Keyword Search

    // Find documents with matching keywords
    async fn keyword_search(query: &str, top_k: usize) -> Vec<Document> {
        // BM25 full-text search in SurrealDB
        db.query("
            SELECT *, search::bm25(.) AS score
            FROM documents
            WHERE text @@ $query
            ORDER BY score DESC
            LIMIT $top_k
        ")
        .bind(("query", query))
        .bind(("top_k", top_k))
        .await
    }

Use case: Exact term matching

- Query: “SurrealDB configuration”
- Finds: Documents mentioning SurrealDB specifically

### Hybrid Results

    async fn hybrid_search(
        query: &str,
        vector_weight: f32,
        keyword_weight: f32,
        top_k: usize,
    ) -> Vec<Document> {
        let vector_results = vector_search(query, top_k * 2).await?;
        let keyword_results = keyword_search(query, top_k * 2).await?;

        let mut scored = HashMap::new();

        // Score from vector search
        for (i, doc) in vector_results.iter().enumerate() {
            *scored.entry(doc.id).or_insert(0.0) +=
                vector_weight * (1.0 - (i as f32 / top_k as f32));
        }

        // Score from keyword search
        for (i, doc) in keyword_results.iter().enumerate() {
            *scored.entry(doc.id).or_insert(0.0) +=
                keyword_weight * (1.0 - (i as f32 / top_k as f32));
        }

        // Return top-k by combined score
        let mut results: Vec<_> = scored.into_iter().collect();
    | results.sort_by( | a, b | b.1.partial_cmp(&a.1).unwrap()); |
    | Ok(results.into_iter().take(top_k).map( | (id, _) | ...).collect()) |
    }

## Semantic Caching

Reduces API calls by caching embeddings of repeated queries:

    struct SemanticCache {
        queries: Arc<DashMap<Vec<f32>, CachedResult>>,
        similarity_threshold: f32,
    }

    impl SemanticCache {
        async fn get(&self, query: &str) -> Option<CachedResult> {
            let embedding = embed(query).await?;

            // Find cached query with similar embedding
            // (cosine distance < threshold)
            for entry in self.queries.iter() {
                let distance = cosine_distance(&embedding, entry.key());
                if distance < self.similarity_threshold {
                    return Some(entry.value().clone());
                }
            }
            None
        }

        async fn insert(&self, query: &str, result: CachedResult) {
            let embedding = embed(query).await?;
            self.queries.insert(embedding, result);
        }
    }

Benefits:

- 50-80% reduction in embedding API calls
- Identical queries return in <10ms
- Similar queries reuse cached context

## Ingestion Workflow

### Document Indexing

    # Index all documentation
    provisioning ai index-docs provisioning/docs/src

    # Index schemas
    provisioning ai index-schemas provisioning/schemas

    # Index past deployments
    provisioning ai index-deployments workspaces/*/deployments

    # Watch directory for changes (development mode)
    provisioning ai watch docs provisioning/docs/src

### Programmatic Indexing

    // In ai-service on startup
    async fn initialize_rag() -> Result<()> {
        let rag = RAGSystem::new(&config.rag).await?;

        // Index documentation
        let docs = load_markdown_docs("provisioning/docs/src")?;
        for doc in docs {
            rag.ingest_document(&doc).await?;
        }

        // Index schemas
        let schemas = load_nickel_schemas("provisioning/schemas")?;
        for schema in schemas {
            rag.ingest_schema(&schema).await?;
        }

        Ok(())
    }

## Usage Examples

### Query the RAG System

    # Search for context-aware information
    provisioning ai query "How do I configure PostgreSQL with encryption?"

    # Get configuration template
    provisioning ai template "Describe production Kubernetes on AWS"

    # Interactive mode
    provisioning ai chat
    > What are the best practices for database backup?

### AI Service Integration

    // AI service uses RAG to enhance generation
    async fn generate_config(user_request: &str) -> Result<String> {
        // Retrieve relevant context
        let context = rag.search(user_request, top_k=5).await?;

        // Build prompt with context
        let prompt = build_prompt_with_context(user_request, &context);

        // Generate configuration
        let config = llm.generate(&prompt).await?;

        // Validate against schemas
        validate_nickel_config(&config)?;

        Ok(config)
    }

### Form Assistance Integration

    // In typdialog-ai (JavaScript/TypeScript)
    async function suggestFieldValue(fieldName, currentInput) {
        // Query RAG for similar configurations
        const context = await rag.search(
            `Field: ${fieldName}, Input: ${currentInput}`,
            { topK: 3, semantic: true }
        );

        // Generate suggestion using context
        const suggestion = await ai.suggest({
            field: fieldName,
            input: currentInput,
            context: context,
        });

        return suggestion;
    }

## Performance Characteristics

| | Operation | Time | Cache Hit | | | | ———– | —— | ———– | | | | Vector embedding | 200-500ms | N/A | | | | Vector search (cold) | 300-800ms | N/A | | | | Keyword search | 50-200ms | N/A | | | | Hybrid search | 500-1200ms | <100ms cached | | | | Semantic cache hit | 10-50ms | Always | |

Typical query flow:

1. Embedding: 300ms
2. Vector search: 400ms
3. Keyword search: 100ms
4. Ranking: 50ms
5. Total: ~850ms (first call), <100ms (cached)

## Configuration

See Configuration Guide for detailed RAG setup:

- LLM provider for embeddings
- SurrealDB connection
- Chunking strategies
- Search weights and limits
- Cache settings and TTLs

## Limitations and Considerations

### Document Freshness

- RAG indexes static snapshots
- Changes to documentation require re-indexing
- Use watch mode during development

### Token Limits

- Large documents chunked to fit LLM context
- Some context may be lost in chunking
- Adjustable chunk size vs. context trade-off

### Embedding Quality

- Quality depends on embedding model
- Domain-specific models perform better
- Fine-tuning possible for specialized vocabularies

## Monitoring and Debugging

### Query Metrics

    # View RAG search metrics
    provisioning ai metrics show rag

    # Analysis of search quality
    provisioning ai eval-rag --sample-queries 100

### Debug Mode

    # In provisioning/config/ai.toml
    [ai.rag.debug]
    enabled = true
    log_embeddings = true      # Log embedding vectors
    log_search_scores = true   # Log relevance scores
    log_context_used = true    # Log context retrieved

## Integration Examples

### Claude Desktop (Most Common)

    ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "provisioning": {
          "command": "provisioning-mcp-server",
          "args": ["--config", "/etc/provisioning/ai.toml"],
          "env": {
            "PROVISIONING_API_KEY": "sk-...",
            "PROVISIONING_BASE_URL": "[http://localhost:8083"](http://localhost:8083")
          }
        }
      }
    }

Usage in Claude:

    User: I need a production Kubernetes cluster in AWS with automatic scaling

    Claude can now use provisioning tools:
    I'll help you create a production Kubernetes cluster. Let me:
    1. Search the documentation for best practices
    2. Generate a configuration template
    3. Validate it against your policies
    4. Provide the final configuration

### OpenAI Function Calling

    import openai

    tools = [
        {
            "type": "function",
            "function": {
                "name": "generate_config",
                "description": "Generate infrastructure configuration",
                "parameters": {
                    "type": "object",
                    "properties": {
                        "description": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "description": "Infrastructure description"
                        }
                    },
                    "required": ["description"]
                }
            }
        }
    ]

    response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
        model="gpt-4",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Create a PostgreSQL database"}],
        tools=tools
    )

### Local LLM Integration (Ollama)

    # Start Ollama with provisioning MCP
    OLLAMA_MCP_SERVERS=provisioning://localhost:3000 \
      ollama serve

    # Use with llama2 or mistral
    curl [http://localhost:11434/api/generate](http://localhost:11434/api/generate) \
      -d '{
        "model": "mistral",
        "prompt": "Create a Kubernetes cluster",
        "tools": [{"type": "mcp", "server": "provisioning"}]
      }'

## Error Handling

Tools return consistent error responses:

    {
      "error": {
        "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
        "message": "Configuration has 3 validation errors",
        "details": [
          {
            "field": "database.version",
            "message": "PostgreSQL version 9.6 is deprecated",
            "severity": "error"
          },
          {
            "field": "backup.retention_days",
            "message": "Recommended minimum is 30 days for production",
            "severity": "warning"
          }
        ]
      }
    }

## Performance

| | Operation | Latency | Notes | | | | ———– | ——— | —–– | | | | generate_config | 2-5s | Depends on LLM and config complexity | | | | validate_config | 500-1000ms | Parallel schema validation | | | | search_docs | 300-800ms | RAG hybrid search | | | | troubleshoot | 3-8s | Depends on log size and analysis depth | | | | get_schema | 100-300ms | Cached schema retrieval | | | | check_compliance | 500-2000ms | Policy evaluation | |

## Configuration

See Configuration Guide for MCP-specific settings:

- MCP server port and binding
- Tool registry customization
- Rate limiting for tool calls
- Access control (Cedar policies)

## Security

### Authentication

- Tools require valid provisioning API token
- Token scoped to user’s workspace
- All tool calls authenticated and logged

### Authorization

- Cedar policies control which tools user can call
- Example: `allow(principal, action, resource)` when `role == "admin"`
- Detailed audit trail of all tool invocations

### Data Protection

- Secrets never passed through MCP
- Configuration sanitized before analysis
- PII removed from logs sent to external LLMs

## Monitoring and Debugging

    # Monitor MCP server
    provisioning admin mcp status

    # View MCP tool calls
    provisioning admin logs --filter "mcp_tools" --tail 100

    # Debug tool response
    RUST_LOG=provisioning::mcp=debug provisioning-mcp-server

### Common Issues

Issue: API key not recognized

    # Check environment variable is set
    echo $PROVISIONING_AI_API_KEY

    # Test connectivity
    provisioning ai test provider anthropic

    # Verify key format (should start with sk-ant- or sk-)
    | provisioning config show ai | grep api_key |

Issue: Cache not working

    # Check cache status
    provisioning admin cache stats ai

    # Clear cache and restart
    provisioning admin cache clear ai
    provisioning service restart ai-service

    # Enable cache debugging
    RUST_LOG=provisioning::cache=debug provisioning-ai-service

Issue: RAG search not finding results

    # Rebuild RAG indexes
    provisioning ai index rebuild rag

    # Test search
    provisioning ai query "test query"

    # Check index status
    provisioning ai index status rag

## Upgrading Configuration

### Backward Compatibility

New AI versions automatically migrate old configurations:

    # Check configuration version
    provisioning config version ai

    # Migrate configuration to latest version
    provisioning config migrate ai --auto

    # Backup before migration
    provisioning config backup ai

## Cedar Policies

### Policy Engine Setup

    // File: provisioning/policies/ai-policies.cedar

    // Core principle: Least privilege
    // All actions denied by default unless explicitly allowed

    // Admin users can access all AI features
    permit(
      principal == ?principal,
      action == Action::"ai_generate_config",
      resource == ?resource
    )
    when {
      principal.role == "admin"
    };

    // Developers can use AI within their workspace
    permit(
      principal == ?principal,
      action in [
        Action::"ai_query",
        Action::"ai_generate_config",
        Action::"ai_troubleshoot"
      ],
      resource == ?resource
    )
    when {
      principal.role in ["developer", "senior_engineer"]
      && principal.workspace == resource.workspace
    };

    // Operators can access troubleshooting and queries
    permit(
      principal == ?principal,
      action in [
        Action::"ai_query",
        Action::"ai_troubleshoot"
      ],
      resource == ?resource
    )
    when {
      principal.role in ["operator", "devops"]
    };

    // Form assistance enabled for all authenticated users
    permit(
      principal == ?principal,
      action == Action::"ai_form_assistance",
      resource == ?resource
    )
    when {
      principal.authenticated == true
    };

    // Agents (when available) require explicit approval
    permit(
      principal == ?principal,
      action == Action::"ai_agent_execute",
      resource == ?resource
    )
    when {
      principal.role == "automation_admin"
      && resource.requires_approval == true
    };

    // MCP tool access - restrictive by default
    permit(
      principal == ?principal,
      action == Action::"mcp_tool_call",
      resource == ?resource
    )
    when {
      principal.role == "admin"
    |  |  | (principal.role == "developer" && resource.tool in ["generate_config", "validate_config"]) |
    };

    // Cost control policies
    permit(
      principal == ?principal,
      action == Action::"ai_generate_config",
      resource == ?resource
    )
    when {
      // User must have remaining budget
      principal.ai_budget_remaining_usd > resource.estimated_cost_usd
      // Workspace must be under budget
      && resource.workspace.ai_budget_remaining_usd > resource.estimated_cost_usd
    };

### Policy Best Practices

1. Explicit Allow: Only allow specific actions, deny by default
2. Workspace Isolation: Users can’t access AI in other workspaces
3. Role-Based: Use consistent role definitions
4. Cost-Aware: Check budgets before operations
5. Audit Trail: Log all policy decisions

## Data Sanitization

### Automatic PII Removal

Before sending data to external LLMs, the system removes:

    Patterns Removed:
    ├─ Passwords: password="...", pwd=..., etc.
    ├─ API Keys: api_key=..., api-key=..., etc.
    ├─ Tokens: token=..., bearer=..., etc.
    ├─ Email addresses: user@example.com (unless necessary for context)
    ├─ Phone numbers: +1-555-0123 patterns
    ├─ Credit cards: 4111-1111-1111-1111 patterns
    ├─ SSH keys: -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----...
    └─ AWS/GCP/Azure: AKIA2..., AIza..., etc.

### Configuration

    [ai.security]
    sanitize_pii = true
    sanitize_secrets = true

    # Custom redaction patterns
    redact_patterns = [
      # Database passwords
      "(?i)db[_-]?password\\s*[:=]\\s*'?[^'\\n]+'?",
      # Generic secrets
      "(?i)secret\\s*[:=]\\s*'?[^'\\n]+'?",
      # API endpoints that shouldn't be logged
      "https?://api[.-]secret\\..+",
    ]

    # Exceptions (patterns NOT to redact)
    preserve_patterns = [
      # Preserve example.com domain for docs
      "example\\.com",
      # Preserve placeholder emails
      "user@example\\.com",
    ]

### Example Sanitization

Before:

    Error configuring database:
    connection_string: postgresql://dbadmin:MySecurePassword123@prod-db.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/app
    api_key: sk-ant-abc123def456
    vault_token: hvs.CAESIyg7...

After Sanitization:

    Error configuring database:
    connection_string: postgresql://dbadmin:[REDACTED]@prod-db.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/app
    api_key: [REDACTED]
    vault_token: [REDACTED]

## Secret Isolation

### Never Access Secrets Directly

AI cannot directly access secrets. Instead:

    User wants: "Configure PostgreSQL with encrypted backups"
      ↓
    AI generates: Configuration schema with placeholders
      ↓
    User inserts: Actual secret values (connection strings, passwords)
      ↓
    System encrypts: Secrets remain encrypted at rest
      ↓
    Deployment: Uses secrets from secure store (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager)

### Secret Protection Rules

1. No Direct Access: AI never reads from Vault/Secrets Manager
2. Never in Logs: Secrets never logged or stored in cache
3. Sanitization: All secrets redacted before sending to LLM
4. Encryption: Secrets encrypted at rest and in transit
5. Audit Trail: All access to secrets logged
6. TTL: Temporary secrets auto-expire

## Local Models Support

### Air-Gapped Deployments

For environments requiring zero external API calls:

    # Deploy local Ollama with provisioning support
    docker run -d \
      --name provisioning-ai \
      -p 11434:11434 \
      -v ollama:/root/.ollama \
      -e OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434 \
      ollama/ollama

    # Pull model
    ollama pull mistral
    ollama pull llama2-70b

    # Configure provisioning to use local model
    provisioning config edit ai

    [ai]
    provider = "local"
    model = "mistral"
    api_base = "[http://localhost:11434"](http://localhost:11434")

### Benefits

- ✅ Zero external API calls
- ✅ Full data privacy (no LLM vendor access)
- ✅ Compliance with classified/regulated data
- ✅ No API key exposure
- ✅ Deterministic (same results each run)

### Performance Trade-offs

| | Factor | Local | Cloud | | | | –––– | —–– | —–– | | | | Privacy | Excellent | Requires trust | | | | Cost | Free (hardware) | Per token | | | | Speed | 5-30s/response | 2-5s/response | | | | Quality | Good (70B models) | Excellent (Opus) | | | | Hardware | Requires GPU | None | |

## HSM Integration

### Hardware Security Module Support

For highly sensitive environments:

    [ai.security.hsm]
    enabled = true
    provider = "aws-cloudhsm"  # or "thales", "yubihsm"

    [ai.security.hsm.aws]
    cluster_id = "cluster-123"
    customer_ca_cert = "/etc/provisioning/certs/customerCA.crt"
    server_cert = "/etc/provisioning/certs/server.crt"
    server_key = "/etc/provisioning/certs/server.key"

## Encryption

### Data at Rest

    [ai.security.encryption]
    enabled = true
    algorithm = "aes-256-gcm"
    key_derivation = "argon2id"

    # Key rotation
    key_rotation_enabled = true
    key_rotation_days = 90
    rotation_alert_days = 7

    # Encrypted storage
    cache_encryption = true
    log_encryption = true

### Data in Transit

    All external LLM API calls:
    ├─ TLS 1.3 (minimum)
    ├─ Certificate pinning (optional)
    ├─ Mutual TLS (with cloud providers)
    └─ No plaintext transmission

## Audit Logging

### What Gets Logged

    {
      "timestamp": "2025-01-13T10:30:45Z",
      "event_type": "ai_action",
      "action": "generate_config",
      "principal": {

        "patterns_matched": ["db_password", "api_key", "token"]
      },
      "status": "success"
    }

### Audit Trail Access

    # View recent AI actions
    provisioning audit log ai --tail 100

    # Filter by user
    provisioning audit log ai --user alice@company.com

    # Filter by action
    provisioning audit log ai --action generate_config

    # Filter by time range
    provisioning audit log ai --from "2025-01-01" --to "2025-01-13"

    # Export for analysis
    provisioning audit export ai --format csv --output audit.csv

    # Full-text search
    provisioning audit search ai "error in database configuration"

## Compliance Frameworks

### Built-in Compliance Checks

    [ai.compliance]
    frameworks = ["pci-dss", "hipaa", "sox", "gdpr"]

    [ai.compliance.pci-dss]
    enabled = true
    # Requires encryption, audit logs, access controls

    [ai.compliance.hipaa]
    enabled = true
    # Requires local models, encrypted storage, audit logs

    [ai.compliance.gdpr]
    enabled = true
    # Requires data deletion, consent tracking, privacy by design

### Compliance Reports

    # Generate compliance report
    provisioning audit compliance-report \
      --framework pci-dss \
      --period month \
      --output report.pdf

    # Verify compliance
    provisioning audit verify-compliance \
      --framework hipaa \
      --verbose

## Security Best Practices

### For Administrators

1. Rotate API Keys: Every 90 days minimum
2. Monitor Budget: Set up alerts at 80% and 90%
3. Review Policies: Quarterly policy audit
4. Audit Logs: Weekly review of AI operations
5. Update Models: Use latest stable models
6. Test Recovery: Monthly rollback drills

### For Developers

1. Use Workspace Isolation: Never share workspace access
2. Don’t Log Secrets: Use sanitization, never bypass it
3. Validate Outputs: Always review AI-generated configs
4. Report Issues: Security issues to `security-ai@company.com`
5. Stay Updated: Follow security bulletins

### For Operators

1. Monitor Costs: Alert if exceeding 110% of budget
2. Watch Errors: Unusual error patterns may indicate attacks
3. Check Audit Logs: Unauthorized access attempts
4. Test Policies: Periodically verify Cedar policies work
5. Backup Configs: Secure backup of policy files

## Incident Response

### Compromised API Key

    # 1. Immediately revoke key
    provisioning admin revoke-key ai-api-key-123

    # 2. Rotate key
    provisioning admin rotate-key ai \
      --notify ops-team@company.com

    # 3. Audit usage since compromise
    provisioning audit log ai \
      --since "2025-01-13T09:00:00Z" \
      --api-key-id ai-api-key-123

    # 4. Review any generated configs from this period
    # Configs generated while key was compromised may need review

### Unauthorized Access

    # Review Cedar policy logs
    provisioning audit log ai \
      --decision deny \
      --last-hour

    # Check for pattern
    provisioning audit search ai "authorization.*deny" \
      --trend-analysis

    # Update policies if needed
    provisioning policy update ai-policies.cedar

# AI-Assisted Troubleshooting and Debugging

Status: ✅ Production-Ready (AI troubleshooting analysis, log parsing)

The AI troubleshooting system provides intelligent debugging assistance for infrastructure failures. The system analyzes deployment logs, identifies root causes, suggests fixes, and generates corrected configurations based on failure patterns.

## Feature Overview

### What It Does

Transform deployment failures into actionable insights:

    Deployment Fails with Error
            ↓
    AI analyzes logs:
      - Identifies failure phase (networking, database, k8s, etc.)
      - Detects root cause (resource limits, configuration, timeout)
      - Correlates with similar past failures
      - Reviews deployment configuration
            ↓
    AI generates report:
      - Root cause explanation in plain English
      - Configuration issues identified
      - Suggested fixes with rationale
      - Alternative solutions
      - Links to relevant documentation
            ↓
    Developer reviews and accepts:
      - Understands what went wrong
      - Knows how to fix it
      - Can implement fix with confidence

The system learns common failure patterns:

    Collected Patterns:
    ├─ Database Timeouts (25% of failures)
    │  └─ Usually: Security group, connection pool, slow startup
    ├─ Kubernetes Pod Failures (20%)
    │  └─ Usually: Insufficient resources, bad config
    ├─ Network Connectivity (15%)
    │  └─ Usually: Security groups, routing, DNS
    └─ Other (40%)
       └─ Various causes, each analyzed individually

### Improvement Tracking

    # See patterns in your deployments
    provisioning ai analytics failures --period month

    Month Summary:
      Total deployments: 50
      Failed: 5 (10% failure rate)

      Common causes:
      1. Security group rules (3 failures, 60%)
      2. Resource limits (1 failure, 20%)
      3. Configuration error (1 failure, 20%)

      Improvement opportunities:
      - Pre-check security groups before deployment
      - Add health checks for resource sizing
      - Add configuration validation

    include_alternatives = true

    # Cost impact analysis
    estimate_fix_cost = true
    estimate_alternative_costs = true

### Failure Detection

    [ai.troubleshooting.detection]
    # Monitor logs for these patterns
    watch_patterns = [
      "error",
      "timeout",
      "failed",

    min_log_lines = 10

    # Time window for log collection
    log_window_seconds = 300

## Best Practices

### For Effective Troubleshooting

1. Keep Detailed Logs: Enable verbose logging in deployments
2. Include Context: Share full logs, not just error snippet
3. Check Suggestions: Review AI suggestions even if obvious
4. Learn Patterns: Track recurring failures and address root cause
5. Update Configs: Use corrected configs from AI, validate them

### For Prevention

1. Use Health Checks: Add database/service health checks
2. Test Before Deploy: Use dry-run to catch issues early
3. Monitor Metrics: Watch CPU/memory before failures occur
4. Review Policies: Ensure security groups are correct
5. Document Changes: When updating configs, note the change

      - ~200 agent executions @ $0.10 = $20
      - **Total: ~$50-100/month for small org**
      - **Total: ~$500-1000/month for large org**

## Cost Control Mechanisms

### Request Caching

Caching is the primary cost reduction strategy, cutting costs by 50-80%:

    Without Caching:
      User 1: "Generate PostgreSQL config" → API call → $0.005
      User 2: "Generate PostgreSQL config" → API call → $0.005
      Total: $0.010 (2 identical requests)

    With LRU Cache:
      User 1: "Generate PostgreSQL config" → API call → $0.005
      User 2: "Generate PostgreSQL config" → Cache hit → $0.00001
      Total: $0.00501 (500x cost reduction for identical)

    With Semantic Cache:
      User 1: "Generate PostgreSQL database config" → API call → $0.005
      User 2: "Create a PostgreSQL database" → Semantic hit → $0.00001
      (Slightly different wording, but same intent)
      Total: $0.00501 (near 500x reduction for similar)

### Cache Configuration

    [ai.cache]
    enabled = true
    cache_type = "redis"  # Distributed cache across instances
    ttl_seconds = 3600    # 1-hour cache lifetime

    # Cache size limits
    max_size_mb = 500
    eviction_policy = "lru"  # Least Recently Used

    # Semantic caching - cache similar queries
    [ai.cache.semantic]
    enabled = true
    similarity_threshold = 0.95  # Cache if 95%+ similar to previous query
    cache_embeddings = true      # Cache embedding vectors themselves

    # Cache metrics
    [ai.cache.metrics]
    track_hit_rate = true
    track_space_usage = true
    alert_on_low_hit_rate = true

### Rate Limiting

Prevent usage spikes from unexpected costs:

    [ai.limits]
    # Per-request limits
    max_tokens = 4096
    max_input_tokens = 8192
    max_output_tokens = 4096

    # Throughput limits
    rpm_limit = 60                    # 60 requests per minute
    rpm_burst = 100                   # Allow burst to 100
    daily_request_limit = 5000        # Max 5000 requests/day

    # Cost limits
    daily_cost_limit_usd = 100        # Stop at $100/day
    monthly_cost_limit_usd = 2000     # Stop at $2000/month

    # Budget alerts
    warn_at_percent = 80              # Warn when at 80% of daily budget
    stop_at_percent = 95              # Stop when at 95% of budget

### Workspace-Level Budgets

    [ai.workspace_budgets]
    # Per-workspace cost limits
    dev.daily_limit_usd = 10
    staging.daily_limit_usd = 50
    prod.daily_limit_usd = 100

    # Can override globally for specific workspaces
    teams.team-a.monthly_limit = 500
    teams.team-b.monthly_limit = 300

### Cost Breakdown

    Month: January 2025

    Total Spending: $285.42

    By Feature:
      Config Generation:    $150.00 (52%) [300 requests × avg $0.50]
      Troubleshooting:      $95.00  (33%) [80 requests × avg $1.19]
      Form Assistance:      $30.00  (11%) [5000 requests × avg $0.006]
      Agents:               $10.42  (4%)  [20 runs × avg $0.52]

    By Provider:
      Anthropic (Claude):   $200.00 (70%)
      OpenAI (GPT-4):       $85.42  (30%)
      Local:                $0      (0%)

    By User:
      alice@company.com:    $50.00  (18%)

      Requests: 50,000
      Cache hits: 35,000 (70%)
      Cache misses: 15,000 (30%)
      Cost savings from cache: ~$175 (38% reduction)

## Optimization Strategies

### Strategy 1: Increase Cache Hit Rate

    # Longer TTL = more cache hits
    [ai.cache]
    ttl_seconds = 7200  # 2 hours instead of 1 hour

    # Semantic caching helps with slight variations
    [ai.cache.semantic]
    enabled = true
    similarity_threshold = 0.90  # Lower threshold = more hits

    # Result: Increase hit rate from 65% → 80%
    # Cost reduction: 15% → 23%

### Strategy 2: Use Local Models

    [ai]
    provider = "local"
    model = "mistral-7b"  # Free, runs on GPU

    # Cost: Hardware ($5-20/month) instead of API calls
    # Savings: 50-100 config generations/month × $0.005 = $0.25-0.50
    # Hardware amortized cost: <$0.50/month on existing GPU

    # Tradeoff: Slightly lower quality, 2x slower

### Strategy 3: Use Haiku for Simple Tasks

    Task Complexity vs Model:

    Simple (form assist): Claude Haiku 4 ($0.80/$4)
    Medium (config gen): Claude Sonnet 4 ($3/$15)
    Complex (agents): Claude Opus 4 ($15/$45)

    Example optimization:
      Before: All tasks use Sonnet 4
      - 5000 form assists/month: 5000 × $0.006 = $30

      After: Route by complexity
      - 5000 form assists → Haiku: 5000 × $0.001 = $5 (83% savings)
      - 200 config gen → Sonnet: 200 × $0.005 = $1
      - 10 agent runs → Opus: 10 × $0.10 = $1

### Strategy 4: Batch Operations

    # Instead of individual requests, batch similar operations:

    # Before: 100 configs, 100 separate API calls
    provisioning ai generate "PostgreSQL config" --output db1.ncl
    provisioning ai generate "PostgreSQL config" --output db2.ncl
    # ... 100 calls = $0.50

    # After: Batch similar requests
    provisioning ai batch --input configs-list.yaml
    # Groups similar requests, reuses cache
    # ... 3-5 API calls = $0.02 (90% savings)

### Strategy 5: Smart Feature Enablement

    [ai.features]
    # Enable high-ROI features
    config_generation = true    # High value, moderate cost
    troubleshooting = true      # High value, higher cost
    rag_search = true           # Low cost, high value

    # Disable low-ROI features if cost-constrained
    form_assistance = false     # Low value, non-zero cost (if budget tight)
    agents = false              # Complex, requires multiple calls

## Budget Management Workflow

### 1. Set Budget

    # Set monthly budget
    provisioning config set ai.budget.monthly_limit_usd 500

    # Set daily limit
    provisioning config set ai.limits.daily_cost_limit_usd 50

    # Set workspace limits
    provisioning config set ai.workspace_budgets.prod.monthly_limit 300
    provisioning config set ai.workspace_budgets.dev.monthly_limit 100

### 2. Monitor Spending

    # Daily check
    provisioning admin costs show ai

    # Weekly analysis
    provisioning admin costs analyze ai --period week

    # Monthly review
    provisioning admin costs analyze ai --period month

### 3. Adjust If Needed

    # If overspending:
    # - Increase cache TTL
    # - Enable local models for simple tasks
    # - Reduce form assistance (high volume, low cost but adds up)
    # - Route complex tasks to Haiku instead of Opus

    # If underspending:
    # - Enable new features (agents, form assistance)
    # - Increase rate limits
    # - Lower cache hit requirements (broader semantic matching)

### 4. Forecast and Plan

    # Current monthly run rate
    provisioning admin costs forecast ai

    # If trending over budget, recommend actions:
    # - Reduce daily limit
    # - Switch to local model for 50% of tasks
    # - Increase batch processing

    # If trending under budget:
    # - Enable agents for automation workflows
    # - Enable form assistance across all workspaces

## Cost Allocation

### Chargeback Models

Per-Workspace Model:

    Development workspace: $50/month
    Staging workspace:     $100/month
    Production workspace:  $300/month
    ------
    Total:                 $450/month

Per-User Model:

    Each user charged based on their usage
    Encourages efficiency
    Difficult to track/allocate

Shared Pool Model:

    All teams share $1000/month budget
    Budget splits by consumption rate
    Encourages optimization
    Most flexible

      AI cost: $200/month
      Net savings: $14,800/month
      ROI: 74:1

## Advanced Cost Optimization

### Hybrid Strategy (Recommended)

    ✓ Local models for:
      - Form assistance (high volume, low complexity)
      - Simple validation checks
      - Document retrieval (RAG)
      Cost: Hardware only (~$500 setup)

    ✓ Cloud API for:
      - Complex generation (requires latest model capability)
      - Troubleshooting (needs high accuracy)
      - Agents (complex reasoning)
      Cost: $50-200/month per organization

    Result:
      - 70% of requests → Local (free after hardware amortization)
      - 30% of requests → Cloud ($50/month)
      - 80% overall cost reduction vs cloud-only

## Monitoring and Alerts

### Cost Anomaly Detection

    # Enable anomaly detection
    provisioning config set ai.monitoring.anomaly_detection true

    # Set thresholds
    provisioning config set ai.monitoring.cost_spike_percent 150
    # Alert if daily cost is 150% of average

    # System alerts:
    # - Daily cost exceeded by 10x normal
    # - New expensive operation (agent run)
    # - Cache hit rate dropped below 40%
    # - Rate limit nearly exhausted

### Alert Configuration

    [ai.monitoring.alerts]
    enabled = true

# Natural Language Configuration Generation

Status: 🔴 Planned (Q2 2025 target)

Natural Language Configuration (NLC) is a planned feature that enables users to describe infrastructure requirements in plain English and have the system automatically generate validated Nickel configurations. This feature combines natural language understanding with schema-aware generation and validation.

## Feature Overview

### What It Does

Transform infrastructure descriptions into production-ready Nickel configurations:

    User Input:
      "Create a production PostgreSQL cluster with 100GB storage,
       daily backups, encryption enabled, and cross-region replication
       to us-west-2"

    System Output:
      provisioning/schemas/database.ncl (validated, production-ready)

### Primary Use Cases

1. Rapid Prototyping: From description to working config in seconds
2. Infrastructure Documentation: Describe infrastructure as code
3. Configuration Templates: Generate reusable patterns
4. Non-Expert Operations: Enable junior developers to provision infrastructure
5. Configuration Migration: Describe existing infrastructure to generate Nickel

## Planned Implementation Details

### 1. Intent Extraction

Extract structured intent from natural language:

    Input: "Create a production PostgreSQL cluster with encryption and backups"

    Extracted Intent:
    {
      resource_type: "database",
      engine: "postgresql",
      environment: "production",
      requirements: [
        {constraint: "encryption", type: "boolean", value: true},
        {constraint: "backups", type: "enabled", frequency: "daily"},
      ],
      modifiers: ["production"],
    }

### 2. Entity Mapping

Map natural language entities to schema fields:

    Description Terms → Schema Fields:
      "100GB storage" → database.instance.allocated_storage_gb = 100
      "daily backups" → backup.enabled = true, backup.frequency = "daily"
      "encryption" → security.encryption_enabled = true
      "cross-region" → backup.copy_to_region = "us-west-2"
      "PostgreSQL 15" → database.engine_version = "15.0"

### 3. Prompt Engineering

Sophisticated prompting for schema-aware generation:

    System Prompt:
    You are generating Nickel infrastructure configurations.
    Generate ONLY valid Nickel syntax.
    Follow these rules:
    - Use record syntax: `field = value`
    - Type annotations must be valid
    - All required fields must be present
    - Apply best practices for [ENVIRONMENT]

    Schema Context:
    [Database schema from provisioning/schemas/database.ncl]

    Examples:
    [3 relevant examples from RAG]

    User Request:
    [User natural language description]

    Generate the complete Nickel configuration.
    Start with: let { database = {

### 4. Iterative Refinement

Handle generation errors through iteration:

    Attempt 1: Generate initial config
      ↓ Validate
      ✗ Error: field `version` type mismatch (string vs number)
      ↓ Re-prompt with error
    Attempt 2: Fix with context from error
      ↓ Validate
      ✓ Success: Config is valid

## Command Interface

### CLI Usage

    # Simple generation
    provisioning ai generate "PostgreSQL database for production"

    # With schema specification
    provisioning ai generate \
      --schema database \
      "Create PostgreSQL 15 with encryption and daily backups"

    # Interactive generation (refine output)
    provisioning ai generate --interactive \
      "Kubernetes cluster on AWS"

    # Generate and validate
    provisioning ai generate \
      --validate \
      "Production Redis cluster with sentinel"

    # Generate and save directly
    provisioning ai generate \
      --schema database \
      --output workspaces/prod/database.ncl \
      "PostgreSQL production setup"

    # Batch generation from file
    provisioning ai generate --batch descriptions.yaml

### Interactive Refinement

    $ provisioning ai generate --interactive
    > Describe infrastructure: Create production PostgreSQL cluster

    Generated configuration shown.

    > Refine: Add cross-region backup to us-west-2
    Configuration updated.

    > Refine: Use larger instance class for performance
    Configuration updated.

    > Accept? [y/n]: y
    Configuration saved to: workspaces/prod/database.ncl

## Example Generations

### Example 1: Simple Database

Input:

    "PostgreSQL database with 50GB storage and encryption"

Output:

    let {
      database = {
        engine = "postgresql",
        version = "15.0",

        instance = {
          instance_class = "db.t3.medium",
          allocated_storage_gb = 50,
          iops = 1000,
        },

        security = {
          encryption_enabled = true,
          tls_enabled = true,
          tls_version = "1.3",
        },

        backup = {
          enabled = true,
          retention_days = 7,
        },
      }
    }

Rationale:

- PostgreSQL 15 is current stable version
- db.t3.medium suitable for 50GB with general workload
- Encryption enabled per requirement
- Automatic backups with 7-day retention (default)

### Example 2: Complex Kubernetes Setup

Input:

    "Production Kubernetes cluster in AWS with 3 availability zones,
    auto-scaling from 3 to 10 nodes, managed PostgreSQL, and monitoring"

Output:

    let {
      kubernetes = {
        version = "1.28.0",

        cluster = {
          name = "prod-cluster",
          region = "us-east-1",
          availability_zones = ["us-east-1a", "us-east-1b", "us-east-1c"],
        },

        node_group = {
          min_size = 3,
          max_size = 10,
          desired_size = 3,
          instance_type = "t3.large",

          auto_scaling = {
            enabled = true,
            target_cpu = 70,
            scale_down_delay = 300,
          },
        },

        managed_services = {
          postgres = {
            enabled = true,
            engine = "postgresql",
            version = "15.0",
            storage_gb = 100,
          },
        },

        monitoring = {
          prometheus = {enabled = true},
          grafana = {enabled = true},
          cloudwatch_integration = true,
        },

        networking = {
          vpc_cidr = "10.0.0.0/16",
          enable_nat_gateway = true,
          enable_dns_hostnames = true,
        },
      }
    }

Rationale:

- 3 AZs for high availability
- t3.large balances cost and performance for general workload
- Auto-scaling target 70% CPU (best practice)
- Managed PostgreSQL reduces operational overhead
- Full observability with Prometheus + Grafana

      "backup",
    ]

    # Constraints that limit generation
    [ai.generation.constraints]
    min_storage_gb = 10
    max_instances = 100
    allowed_engines = ["postgresql", "mysql", "mongodb"]

    # Validation before accepting generated config
    [ai.generation.validation]
    strict_mode = true
    require_security_review = false
    require_compliance_check = true

### Safety Guardrails

1. Required Fields: All schema required fields must be present
2. Type Validation: Generated values must match schema types
3. Security Checks: Encryption/backups enabled for production
4. Cost Estimation: Warn if projected cost exceeds threshold
5. Resource Limits: Enforce organizational constraints
6. Policy Compliance: Check against Cedar policies

## User Workflow

### Typical Usage Session

    # 1. Describe infrastructure need
    $ provisioning ai generate "I need a database for my web app"

    # System generates basic config, suggests refinements
    # Generated config shown with explanations

    # 2. Refine if needed
    $ provisioning ai generate --interactive

    # 3. Review and validate
    $ provisioning ai validate workspaces/dev/database.ncl

    # 4. Deploy
    $ provisioning workspace apply workspaces/dev

    # 5. Monitor
    $ provisioning workspace logs database

## Integration with Other Systems

### RAG Integration

NLC uses RAG to find similar configurations:

    User: "Create Kubernetes cluster"
      ↓
    RAG searches for:
      - Existing Kubernetes configs in workspaces
      - Kubernetes documentation and examples
      - Best practices from provisioning/docs/guides/kubernetes.md
      ↓
    Context fed to LLM for generation

### Form Assistance

NLC and form assistance share components:

- Intent extraction for pre-filling forms
- Constraint validation for form field values
- Explanation generation for validation errors

### CLI Integration

    # Generate then preview
    | provisioning ai generate "PostgreSQL prod" | \ |
      provisioning config preview

    # Generate and apply
    provisioning ai generate \
      --apply \
      --environment prod \
      "PostgreSQL cluster"

## Testing and Validation

### Test Cases (Planned)

1. Simple Descriptions: Single resource, few requirements

   - “PostgreSQL database”
   - “Redis cache”

2. Complex Descriptions: Multiple resources, constraints

   - “Kubernetes with managed database and monitoring”
   - “Multi-region deployment with failover”

3. Edge Cases:

   - Conflicting requirements
   - Ambiguous specifications
   - Deprecated technologies

4. Refinement Cycles:

   - Interactive generation with multiple refines
   - Error recovery and re-prompting
   - User feedback incorporation

## Success Criteria (Q2 2025)

- ✅ Generates valid Nickel for 90% of user descriptions
- ✅ Generated configs pass all schema validation
- ✅ Supports top 10 infrastructure patterns
- ✅ Interactive refinement works smoothly
- ✅ Error messages explain issues clearly

## Planned Features

### 1. Smart Field Suggestions

Intelligent suggestions based on context:

    Scenario: User filling database configuration form

    1. Engine selection
       User types: "post"
       Suggestion: "postgresql" (99% match)
       Explanation: "PostgreSQL is the most popular open-source relational database"

    2. Storage size
       User has selected: "postgresql", "production", "web-application"
       Suggestions appear:
       • "100 GB" (standard production web app database)
       • "500 GB" (if expected growth > 1000 connections)
       • "1 TB" (high-traffic SaaS platform)
       Explanation: "For typical web applications with 1000s of concurrent users, 100 GB is recommended"

    3. Backup frequency
       User has selected: "production", "critical-data"
       Suggestions appear:
       • "Daily" (standard for critical databases)
       • "Hourly" (for data warehouses with frequent updates)
       Explanation: "Critical production data requires daily or more frequent backups"

### 2. Validation Error Explanation

Human-readable error messages with fixes:

    User enters: "storage = -100"

    Current behavior:
      ✗ Error: Expected positive integer

    Planned AI behavior:
      ✗ Storage must be positive (1-65535 GB)

      Why: Negative storage doesn't make sense.
           Storage capacity must be at least 1 GB.

      Fix suggestions:
      • Use 100 GB (typical production size)
      • Use 50 GB (development environment)
      • Use your required size in GB

### 3. Field-to-Field Context Awareness

Suggestions change based on other fields:

    Scenario: Multi-step configuration form

    Step 1: Select environment
    User: "production"
      → Form shows constraints: (min storage 50GB, encryption required, backup required)

    Step 2: Select database engine
    User: "postgresql"
      → Suggestions adapted:
        - PostgreSQL 15 recommended for production
        - Point-in-time recovery available
        - Replication options highlighted

    Step 3: Storage size
      → Suggestions show:
        - Minimum 50 GB for production
        - Examples from similar production configs
        - Cost estimate updates in real-time

    Step 4: Encryption
      → Suggestion appears: "Recommended: AES-256"
      → Explanation: "Required for production environments"

### 4. Inline Documentation

Quick access to relevant docs:

    Field: "Backup Retention Days"

    Suggestion popup:
      ┌─────────────────────────────────┐
      │ Suggested value: 30              │
      │                                 │
      │ Why: 30 days is industry-standard│
      │ standard for compliance (PCI-DSS)│
      │                                 │
      │ Learn more:                      │
      │ → Backup best practices guide    │
      │ → Your compliance requirements   │
      │ → Cost vs retention trade-offs   │
      └─────────────────────────────────┘

### 5. Multi-Field Suggestions

Suggest multiple related fields together:

    User selects: environment = "production"

    AI suggests completing:
      ┌─────────────────────────────────┐
      │ Complete Production Setup        │
      │                                 │
      │ Based on production environment │
      │ we recommend:                    │
      │                                 │
      │ Encryption: enabled              │ ← Auto-fill
      │ Backups: daily                   │ ← Auto-fill
      │ Monitoring: enabled              │ ← Auto-fill
      │ High availability: enabled       │ ← Auto-fill
      │ Retention: 30 days              │ ← Auto-fill
      │                                 │

## User Experience Flow

### Scenario: New User Configuring PostgreSQL

    1. User opens typdialog form
       - Form title: "Create Database"
       - First field: "Database Engine"
       - AI shows: "PostgreSQL recommended for relational data"

    2. User types "post"
       - Autocomplete shows: "postgresql"
       - AI explains: "PostgreSQL is the most stable open-source database"

    3. User selects "postgresql"
       - Form progresses
       - Next field: "Version"
       - AI suggests: "PostgreSQL 15 (latest stable)"
       - Explanation: "Version 15 is current stable, recommended for new deployments"

    4. User selects version 15
       - Next field: "Environment"
       - User selects "production"
       - AI note appears: "Production environment requires encryption and backups"

    5. Next field: "Storage (GB)"
       - Form shows: Minimum 50 GB (production requirement)
       - AI suggestions:
         • 100 GB (standard production)
         • 250 GB (high-traffic site)
       - User accepts: 100 GB

    6. Validation error on next field
       - Old behavior: "Invalid backup_days value"
       - New behavior:
         "Backup retention must be 1-35 days. Recommended: 30 days.
         30-day retention meets compliance requirements for production systems."

    7. User completes form
       - Summary shows all AI-assisted decisions
       - Generate button creates configuration

## Integration with Natural Language Generation

NLC and form assistance share the same backend:

    Natural Language Generation    AI-Assisted Forms
            ↓                              ↓
        "Create a PostgreSQL db"    Select field values
            ↓                              ↓
        Intent Extraction         Context Extraction
            ↓                              ↓
        RAG Search              RAG Search (same results)
            ↓                              ↓
        LLM Generation          LLM Suggestions
            ↓                              ↓
        Config Output           Form Field Population

# Autonomous AI Agents (typdialog-ag)

Status: 🔴 Planned (Q2 2025 target)

Autonomous AI Agents is a planned feature that enables AI agents to execute multi-step infrastructure provisioning workflows with minimal human intervention. Agents make decisions, adapt to changing conditions, and execute complex tasks while maintaining security and requiring human approval for critical operations.

## Feature Overview

### What It Does

Enable AI agents to manage complex provisioning workflows:

    User Goal:
      "Set up a complete development environment with:
       - PostgreSQL database
       - Redis cache
       - Kubernetes cluster
       - Monitoring stack
       - Logging infrastructure"

    AI Agent executes:
    1. Analyzes requirements and constraints
    2. Plans multi-step deployment sequence
    3. Creates configurations for all components
    4. Validates configurations against policies
    5. Requests human approval for critical decisions
    6. Executes deployment in correct order
    7. Monitors for failures and adapts
    8. Reports completion and recommendations

## Agent Capabilities

### Multi-Step Workflow Execution

Agents coordinate complex, multi-component deployments:

    Goal: "Deploy production Kubernetes cluster with managed databases"

    Agent Plan:
      Phase 1: Infrastructure
        ├─ Create VPC and networking
        ├─ Set up security groups
        └─ Configure IAM roles

      Phase 2: Kubernetes
        ├─ Create EKS cluster
        ├─ Configure network plugins
        ├─ Set up autoscaling
        └─ Install cluster add-ons

      Phase 3: Managed Services
        ├─ Provision RDS PostgreSQL
        ├─ Configure backups
        └─ Set up replicas

      Phase 4: Observability
        ├─ Deploy Prometheus
        ├─ Deploy Grafana
        ├─ Configure log collection
        └─ Set up alerting

      Phase 5: Validation
        ├─ Run smoke tests
        ├─ Verify connectivity
        └─ Check compliance

### Adaptive Decision Making

Agents adapt to conditions and make intelligent decisions:

    Scenario: Database provisioning fails due to resource quota

    Standard approach (human):
    1. Detect failure
    2. Investigate issue
    3. Decide on fix (reduce size, change region, etc.)
    4. Update config
    5. Retry

    Agent approach:
    1. Detect failure
    2. Analyze error: "Quota exceeded for db.r6g.xlarge"
    3. Check available options:
       - Try smaller instance: db.r6g.large (may be insufficient)
       - Try different region: different cost, latency
       - Request quota increase (requires human approval)
    4. Ask human: "Quota exceeded. Suggest: use db.r6g.large instead
       (slightly reduced performance). Approve? [yes/no/try-other]"
    5. Execute based on approval
    6. Continue workflow

### Dependency Management

Agents understand resource dependencies:

    Knowledge graph of dependencies:

      VPC ──→ Subnets ──→ EC2 Instances
       ├─────────→ Security Groups
       └────→ NAT Gateway ──→ Route Tables

      RDS ──→ DB Subnet Group ──→ VPC
       ├─────────→ Security Group
       └────→ Parameter Group

    Agent ensures:
    - VPC exists before creating subnets
    - Subnets exist before creating EC2
    - Security groups reference correct VPC
    - Deployment order respects all dependencies
    - Rollback order is reverse of creation

      - Backup retention meets compliance

    User: Approve with modifications
      - Network policies: use audit mode first
      - Keep cross-AZ
      - Keep backups

    [Agent creates configs with modifications]

    Configs generated:
      ✓ infrastructure/vpc.ncl
      ✓ infrastructure/kubernetes.ncl
      ✓ databases/postgres.ncl
      ✓ databases/redis.ncl
      ✓ monitoring/prometheus.ncl
      ✓ monitoring/grafana.ncl

    Estimated deployment time: 15-20 minutes
    Estimated cost: $2,500/month

    [Start deployment?] [Review configs]

    User: Review configs

    [User reviews and approves]

    [Agent executes deployment in phases]

## Safety and Control

### Human-in-the-Loop Checkpoints

Agents stop and ask humans for approval at critical points:

    Automatic Approval (Agent decides):
    - Create configuration
    - Validate configuration
    - Check dependencies
    - Generate execution plan

    Human Approval Required:
    - First-time resource creation
    - Cost changes > 10%
    - Security policy changes
    - Cross-region deployment
    - Data deletion operations
    - Major version upgrades

### Decision Logging

All decisions logged for audit trail:

    Agent Decision Log:
    | 2025-01-13 10:00:00 | Generate database config |
    | 2025-01-13 10:00:05 | Config validation: PASS |
    | 2025-01-13 10:00:07 | Requesting human approval: "Create new PostgreSQL instance" |
    | 2025-01-13 10:00:45 | Human approval: APPROVED |
    | 2025-01-13 10:00:47 | Cost estimate: $100/month - within budget |
    | 2025-01-13 10:01:00 | Creating infrastructure... |
    | 2025-01-13 10:02:15 | Database created successfully |
    | 2025-01-13 10:02:16 | Running health checks... |
    | 2025-01-13 10:02:45 | Health check: PASSED |

### Rollback Capability

Agents can rollback on failure:

    Scenario: Database creation succeeds, but Kubernetes creation fails

    Agent behavior:
    1. Detect failure in Kubernetes phase
    2. Try recovery (retry, different configuration)
    3. Recovery fails
    4. Ask human: "Kubernetes creation failed. Rollback database creation? [yes/no]"
    5. If yes: Delete database, clean up, report failure
    6. If no: Keep database, manual cleanup needed

    Full rollback capability if entire workflow fails before human approval.

## Configuration

### Agent Settings

    # In provisioning/config/ai.toml
    [ai.agents]
    enabled = true

    # Agent decision-making
    auto_approve_threshold = 0.95  # Approve if confidence > 95%

      "first_resource_creation",
      "cost_change_above_percent",
      "security_policy_change",
      "data_deletion",
    ]

    cost_change_threshold_percent = 10

    # Execution control
    max_parallel_phases = 2
    phase_timeout_minutes = 30

## Key Architectural Decisions

### 1. Hybrid Language Architecture (ADR-004)

Decision: Use Rust for coordination, Nushell for business logic Rationale: Solves Nushell’s deep call stack limitations while preserving domain expertise Impact: Eliminates technical limitations while maintaining productivity and configuration advantages

### 2. Configuration-Driven Architecture (ADR-002)

Decision: Complete migration from ENV variables to hierarchical configuration Rationale: True Infrastructure as Code requires configuration flexibility without hardcoded fallbacks Impact: 476 configuration accessors provide complete customization without code changes

### 3. Domain-Driven Structure (ADR-001)

Decision: Organize by functional domains (core, platform, provisioning) Rationale: Clear boundaries enable scalable development and maintenance Impact: Enables specialized development while maintaining system coherence

### 4. Workspace Isolation (ADR-003)

Decision: Isolated user workspaces with hierarchical configuration Rationale: Multi-user support and customization without system impact Impact: Complete user independence with easy backup and migration

### 5. Registry-Based Extensions (ADR-005)

Decision: Manifest-driven extension framework with structured discovery Rationale: Enable community contributions while maintaining system stability Impact: Extensible system supporting custom providers, services, and workflows

#### 6. Module and Layer System

Module System:

    # Discover available extensions
    provisioning module discover taskservs

    # Load into workspace
    provisioning module load taskserv my-workspace kubernetes containerd

    # List loaded modules
    provisioning module list taskserv my-workspace

Layer System (Configuration Inheritance):

    Layer 1: Core     (provisioning/extensions/{type}/{name})
        ↓
    Layer 2: Workspace (workspace/extensions/{type}/{name})
        ↓
    Layer 3: Infrastructure (workspace/infra/{infra}/extensions/{type}/{name})

Resolution Priority: Infrastructure → Workspace → Core

#### 7. Dependency Resolution

Algorithm: Topological sort with cycle detection

Features:

    let { TaskservDependencies } = import "provisioning/dependencies.ncl" in
    {
      kubernetes = TaskservDependencies {
        name = "kubernetes",
        version = "1.28.0",
        requires = ["containerd", "etcd", "os"],
        optional = ["cilium", "helm"],
        conflicts = ["docker", "podman"],
      }
    }

### Data Flow

Configuration Loading:

    1. Load system defaults (config.defaults.toml)
    2. Merge user config (~/.provisioning/config.user.toml)
    3. Load workspace config (workspace/config/provisioning.yaml)
    4. Load environment config (workspace/config/{env}-defaults.toml)
    5. Load infrastructure config (workspace/infra/{name}/config.toml)
    6. Apply runtime overrides (ENV variables, CLI flags)

State Persistence:

    Workflow execution
        ↓
    Create checkpoint (JSON)
        ↓
    Save to ~/.provisioning/orchestrator/data/checkpoints/
        ↓
    On failure, load checkpoint and resume

OCI Artifact Flow:

    1. Package extension (oci-package.nu)
    2. Push to OCI registry (provisioning oci push)
    3. Extension stored as OCI artifact
    4. Pull when needed (provisioning oci pull)
    5. Cache locally (~/.provisioning/cache/oci/)

### Secret Management

SOPS Integration:

    # Edit encrypted file
    provisioning sops workspace/secrets/keys.yaml.enc

    # Encryption happens automatically on save
    # Decryption happens automatically on load

KMS Integration (Enterprise):

    # workspace/config/provisioning.yaml
    secrets:
      provider: "kms"
      kms:
        type: "aws"  # or "vault"
        region: "us-east-1"
        key_id: "arn:aws:kms:..."

### Image Signing and Verification

CI/CD Mode (Required):

    # Sign OCI artifact
    cosign sign oci://registry/kubernetes:1.28.0

    # Verify signature
    cosign verify oci://registry/kubernetes:1.28.0

Enterprise Mode (Mandatory):

    # Pull with verification
    provisioning extension pull kubernetes --verify-signature

    # System blocks unsigned artifacts

## Deployment Architecture

    # Namespace: provisioning-system
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: orchestrator
    spec:
      replicas: 3  # HA
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: orchestrator
      template:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app: orchestrator

            image: harbor.company.com/provisioning-platform/orchestrator:v1.2.0
            ports:
            - containerPort: 8080
            env:
            - name: RUST_LOG
              value: "info"
            volumeMounts:
            - name: data
              mountPath: /data
            livenessProbe:
              httpGet:
                path: /health
                port: 8080
            readinessProbe:
              httpGet:
                path: /health
                port: 8080
          volumes:
          - name: data
            persistentVolumeClaim:
              claimName: orchestrator-data

Pros: HA, scalability, production-ready Cons: Complex setup, Kubernetes required

#### 5. Remote Deployment (All modes)

    # Connect to remotely-running services
    services:
      orchestrator:
        deployment:
          mode: "remote"
          remote:
            endpoint: "https://orchestrator.company.com"
            tls_enabled: true
            auth_token_path: "~/.provisioning/tokens/orchestrator.token"

Pros: No local resources, centralized Cons: Network dependency, latency

## Integration Architecture

### Integration Patterns

#### 1. Hybrid Language Integration (Rust ↔ Nushell)

    Rust Orchestrator
        ↓ (HTTP API)
    Nushell CLI
        ↓ (exec via bridge)
    Nushell Business Logic
        ↓ (returns JSON)
    Rust Orchestrator
        ↓ (updates state)
    File-based Task Queue

Communication: HTTP API + stdin/stdout JSON

#### 2. Provider Abstraction

    Unified Provider Interface
    ├── create_server(config) -> Server
    ├── delete_server(id) -> bool
    ├── list_servers() -> [Server]
    └── get_server_status(id) -> Status

    Provider Implementations:
    ├── AWS Provider (aws-sdk-rust, aws cli)
    ├── UpCloud Provider (upcloud API)
    └── Local Provider (Docker, libvirt)

#### 3. OCI Registry Integration

    Extension Development
        ↓
    Package (oci-package.nu)
        ↓
    Push (provisioning oci push)
        ↓
    OCI Registry (Zot/Harbor)
        ↓
    Pull (provisioning oci pull)
        ↓
    Cache (~/.provisioning/cache/oci/)
        ↓
    Load into Workspace

#### 4. Gitea Integration (Multi-user, Enterprise)

    Workspace Operations
        ↓
    Check Lock Status (Gitea API)
        ↓
    Acquire Lock (Create lock file in Git)
        ↓
    Perform Changes
        ↓
    Commit + Push
        ↓
    Release Lock (Delete lock file)

Benefits:

- Distributed locking
- Change tracking via Git history
- Collaboration features

#### 5. CoreDNS Integration

    Service Registration
        ↓
    Update CoreDNS Corefile
        ↓
    Reload CoreDNS
        ↓
    DNS Resolution Available

    Zones:
    ├── *.prov.local     (Internal services)
    ├── *.infra.local    (Infrastructure nodes)
    └── *.test.local     (Test environments)

## Performance and Scalability

### Performance Characteristics

Metric | Value | Notes
--- | --- | ---
CLI Startup Time | < 100 ms | Nushell cold start
CLI Response Time | < 50 ms | Most commands
Workflow Submission | < 200 ms | To orchestrator
Task Processing | 10-50/sec | Orchestrator throughput
Batch Operations | Up to 100 servers | Parallel execution
OCI Pull Time | 1-5s | Cached: <100 ms
Configuration Load | < 500 ms | Full hierarchy
Health Check Interval | 10s | Configurable

### Scalability Limits

Solo Mode:

- Unlimited local resources
- Limited by machine capacity

Multi-User Mode:

- 10 servers per user
- 32 cores, 128 GB RAM per user
- 5-20 concurrent users

CI/CD Mode:

- 5 servers per pipeline
- 16 cores, 64 GB RAM per pipeline
- 100+ concurrent pipelines

Enterprise Mode:

- 20 servers per user
- 64 cores, 256 GB RAM per user
- 1000+ concurrent users
- Horizontal scaling via Kubernetes

### Optimization Strategies

Caching:

- OCI artifacts cached locally
- Nickel compilation cached
- Module resolution cached

Parallel Execution:

- Batch operations with configurable limits
- Dependency-aware parallel starts
- Workflow DAG execution

Incremental Operations:

- Only update changed resources
- Checkpoint-based recovery
- Delta synchronization

# Design Principles

## Overview

Provisioning is built on a foundation of architectural principles that guide design decisions, ensure system quality, and maintain consistency across the codebase. These principles have evolved from real-world experience and represent lessons learned from complex infrastructure automation challenges.

## Core Architectural Principles

### 1. Project Architecture Principles (PAP) Compliance

Principle: Fully agnostic and configuration-driven, not hardcoded. Use abstraction layers dynamically loaded from configurations.

Rationale: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) systems must be flexible enough to adapt to any environment without code changes. Hardcoded values defeat the purpose of IaC and create maintenance burdens.

Implementation Guidelines:

- Never patch the system with hardcoded fallbacks when configuration parsing fails
- All behavior must be configurable through the hierarchical configuration system
- Use abstraction layers that are dynamically loaded from configuration
- Validate configuration fully before execution, fail fast on invalid config

Anti-Patterns (Anti-PAP):

- Hardcoded provider endpoints or credentials
- Environment-specific logic in code
- Fallback to default values when configuration is missing
- Mixed configuration and implementation logic

Example:

    # ✅ PAP Compliant - Configuration-driven
    [providers.aws]
    regions = ["us-west-2", "us-east-1"]
    instance_types = ["t3.micro", "t3.small"]
    api_endpoint = "https://ec2.amazonaws.com"

    # ❌ Anti-PAP - Hardcoded fallback in code
    if config.providers.aws.regions.is_empty() {
        regions = vec!["us-west-2"]; // Hardcoded fallback
    }

### 2. Hybrid Architecture Optimization

Principle: Use each language for what it does best - Rust for coordination, Nushell for business logic.

Rationale: Different languages have different strengths. Rust excels at performance-critical coordination tasks, while Nushell excels at configuration management and domain-specific operations.

Implementation Guidelines:

- Rust handles orchestration, state management, and performance-critical paths
- Nushell handles provider operations, configuration processing, and CLI interfaces
- Clear boundaries between language responsibilities
- Structured data exchange (JSON) between languages
- Preserve existing domain expertise in Nushell

Language Responsibility Matrix:

    Rust Layer:
    ├── Workflow orchestration and coordination
    ├── REST API servers and HTTP endpoints
    ├── State persistence and checkpoint management
    ├── Parallel processing and batch operations
    ├── Error recovery and rollback logic
    └── Performance-critical data processing

    Nushell Layer:
    ├── Provider implementations (AWS, UpCloud, local)
    ├── Task service management and configuration
    ├── Nickel configuration processing and validation
    ├── Template generation and Infrastructure as Code
    ├── CLI user interfaces and interactive tools
    └── Domain-specific business logic

### 3. Configuration-First Architecture

Principle: All system behavior is determined by configuration, with clear hierarchical precedence and validation.

Rationale: True Infrastructure as Code requires that all behavior be configurable without code changes. Configuration hierarchy provides flexibility while maintaining predictability.

Configuration Hierarchy (precedence order):

1. Runtime Parameters (highest precedence)
2. Environment Configuration
3. Infrastructure Configuration
4. User Configuration
5. System Defaults (lowest precedence)

Implementation Guidelines:

- Complete configuration validation before execution
- Variable interpolation for dynamic values
- Schema-based validation using Nickel
- Configuration immutability during execution
- Comprehensive error reporting for configuration issues

### 4. Domain-Driven Structure

Principle: Organize code by business domains and functional boundaries, not by technical concerns.

Rationale: Domain-driven organization scales better, reduces coupling, and enables focused development by domain experts.

Domain Organization:

    ├── core/           # Core system and library functions
    ├── platform/       # High-performance coordination layer
    ├── provisioning/   # Main business logic with providers and services
    ├── control-center/ # Web-based management interface
    ├── tools/          # Development and utility tools
    └── extensions/     # Plugin and extension framework

Domain Responsibilities:

- Each domain has clear ownership and boundaries
- Cross-domain communication through well-defined interfaces
- Domain-specific testing and validation strategies
- Independent evolution and versioning within architectural guidelines

### 5. Isolation and Modularity

Principle: Components are isolated, modular, and independently deployable with clear interface contracts.

Rationale: Isolation enables independent development, testing, and deployment. Clear interfaces prevent tight coupling and enable system evolution.

Implementation Guidelines:

- User workspace isolation from system installation
- Extension sandboxing and security boundaries
- Provider abstraction with standardized interfaces
- Service modularity with dependency management
- Clear API contracts between components

## Quality Attribute Principles

### 6. Reliability Through Recovery

Principle: Build comprehensive error recovery and rollback capabilities into every operation.

Rationale: Infrastructure operations can fail at any point. Systems must be able to recover gracefully and maintain consistent state.

Implementation Guidelines:

- Checkpoint-based recovery for long-running workflows
- Comprehensive rollback capabilities for all operations
- Transactional semantics where possible
- State validation and consistency checks
- Detailed audit trails for debugging and recovery

Recovery Strategies:

    Operation Level:
    ├── Atomic operations with rollback
    ├── Retry logic with exponential backoff
    ├── Circuit breakers for external dependencies
    └── Graceful degradation on partial failures

    Workflow Level:
    ├── Checkpoint-based recovery
    ├── Dependency-aware rollback
    ├── State consistency validation
    └── Resume from failure points

    System Level:
    ├── Health monitoring and alerting
    ├── Automatic recovery procedures
    ├── Data backup and restoration
    └── Disaster recovery capabilities

### 7. Performance Through Parallelism

Principle: Design for parallel execution and efficient resource utilization while maintaining correctness.

Rationale: Infrastructure operations often involve multiple independent resources that can be processed in parallel for significant performance gains.

Implementation Guidelines:

- Configurable parallelism limits to prevent resource exhaustion
- Dependency-aware parallel execution
- Resource pooling and connection management
- Efficient data structures and algorithms
- Memory-conscious processing for large datasets

### 8. Security Through Isolation

Principle: Implement security through isolation boundaries, least privilege, and comprehensive validation.

Rationale: Infrastructure systems handle sensitive data and powerful operations. Security must be built in at the architectural level.

Security Implementation:

    Authentication & Authorization:
    ├── API authentication for external access
    ├── Role-based access control for operations
    ├── Permission validation before execution
    └── Audit logging for all security events

    Data Protection:
    ├── Encrypted secrets management (SOPS/Age)
    ├── Secure configuration file handling
    ├── Network communication encryption
    └── Sensitive data sanitization in logs

    Isolation Boundaries:
    ├── User workspace isolation
    ├── Extension sandboxing
    ├── Provider credential isolation
    └── Process and network isolation

## Development Methodology Principles

### 9. Configuration-Driven Testing

Principle: Tests should be configuration-driven and validate both happy path and error conditions.

Rationale: Infrastructure systems must work across diverse environments and configurations. Tests must validate the configuration-driven nature of the system.

Testing Strategy:

    Unit Testing:
    ├── Configuration validation tests
    ├── Individual component tests
    ├── Error condition tests
    └── Performance benchmark tests

    Integration Testing:
    ├── Multi-provider workflow tests
    ├── Configuration hierarchy tests
    ├── Error recovery tests
    └── End-to-end scenario tests

    System Testing:
    ├── Full deployment tests
    ├── Upgrade and migration tests
    ├── Performance and scalability tests
    └── Security and isolation tests

## Error Handling Principles

### 11. Fail Fast, Recover Gracefully

Principle: Validate early and fail fast on errors, but provide comprehensive recovery mechanisms.

Rationale: Early validation prevents complex error states, while graceful recovery maintains system reliability.

Implementation Guidelines:

- Complete configuration validation before execution
- Input validation at system boundaries
- Clear error messages without internal stack traces (except in DEBUG mode)
- Comprehensive error categorization and handling
- Recovery procedures for all error categories

Error Categories:

    Configuration Errors:
    ├── Invalid configuration syntax
    ├── Missing required configuration
    ├── Configuration conflicts
    └── Schema validation failures

    Runtime Errors:
    ├── Provider API failures
    ├── Network connectivity issues
    ├── Resource availability problems
    └── Permission and authentication errors

    System Errors:
    ├── File system access problems
    ├── Memory and resource exhaustion
    ├── Process communication failures
    └── External dependency failures

### 12. Observable Operations

Principle: All operations must be observable through comprehensive logging, metrics, and monitoring.

Rationale: Infrastructure operations must be debuggable and monitorable in production environments.

Observability Implementation:

    Logging:
    ├── Structured JSON logging
    ├── Configurable log levels
    ├── Context-aware log messages
    └── Audit trail for all operations

    Metrics:
    ├── Operation performance metrics
    ├── Resource utilization metrics
    ├── Error rate and type metrics
    └── Business logic metrics

    Monitoring:
    ├── Health check endpoints
    ├── Real-time status reporting
    ├── Workflow progress tracking
    └── Alert integration capabilities

## Evolution and Maintenance Principles

### 13. Backward Compatibility

Principle: Maintain backward compatibility for configuration, APIs, and user interfaces.

Rationale: Infrastructure systems are long-lived and must support existing configurations and workflows during evolution.

Compatibility Guidelines:

- Semantic versioning for all interfaces
- Configuration migration tools and procedures
- Deprecation warnings and migration guides
- API versioning for external interfaces
- Comprehensive upgrade testing

### 14. Documentation-Driven Development

Principle: Architecture decisions, APIs, and operational procedures must be thoroughly documented.

Rationale: Infrastructure systems are complex and require clear documentation for operation, maintenance, and evolution.

Documentation Requirements:

- Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for major decisions
- API documentation with examples
- Operational runbooks and procedures
- Configuration guides and examples
- Troubleshooting guides and common issues

### 15. Technical Debt Management

Principle: Actively manage technical debt through regular assessment and systematic improvement.

Rationale: Infrastructure systems accumulate complexity over time. Proactive debt management prevents system degradation.

Debt Management Strategy:

    Assessment:
    ├── Regular code quality reviews
    ├── Performance profiling and optimization
    ├── Security audit and updates
    └── Dependency management and updates

    Improvement:
    ├── Refactoring for clarity and maintainability
    ├── Performance optimization based on metrics
    ├── Security enhancement and hardening
    └── Test coverage improvement and validation

## Trade-off Management

### 16. Explicit Trade-off Documentation

Principle: All architectural trade-offs must be explicitly documented with rationale and alternatives considered.

Rationale: Understanding trade-offs enables informed decision making and future evolution of the system.

Trade-off Categories:

    Performance vs. Maintainability:
    ├── Rust coordination layer for performance
    ├── Nushell business logic for maintainability
    ├── Caching strategies for speed vs. consistency
    └── Parallel processing vs. resource usage

    Flexibility vs. Complexity:
    ├── Configuration-driven architecture vs. simplicity
    ├── Extension framework vs. core system complexity
    ├── Multi-provider support vs. specialization
    └── Hierarchical configuration vs. simple key-value

    Security vs. Usability:
    ├── Workspace isolation vs. convenience
    ├── Extension sandboxing vs. functionality
    ├── Authentication requirements vs. ease of use
    └── Audit logging vs. performance overhead

## Conclusion

These design principles form the foundation of provisioning’s architecture. They guide decision making, ensure quality, and provide a framework for system evolution. Adherence to these principles has enabled the development of a sophisticated, reliable, and maintainable infrastructure automation platform.

The principles are living guidelines that evolve with the system while maintaining core architectural integrity. They serve as both implementation guidance and evaluation criteria for new features and modifications.

Success in applying these principles is measured by:

- System reliability and error recovery capabilities
- Development efficiency and maintainability
- Configuration flexibility and user experience
- Performance and scalability characteristics
- Security and isolation effectiveness

These principles represent the distilled wisdom from building and operating complex infrastructure automation systems at scale.

# Integration Patterns

## Overview

Provisioning implements sophisticated integration patterns to coordinate between its hybrid Rust/Nushell architecture, manage multi-provider workflows, and enable extensible functionality. This document outlines the key integration patterns, their implementations, and best practices.

## Core Integration Patterns

### 1. Hybrid Language Integration

#### Rust-to-Nushell Communication Pattern

Use Case: Orchestrator invoking business logic operations

Implementation:

    use tokio::process::Command;
    use serde_json;

    pub async fn execute_nushell_workflow(
        workflow: &str,
        args: &[String]
    ) -> Result<WorkflowResult, Error> {
        let mut cmd = Command::new("nu");
        cmd.arg("-c")
           .arg(format!("use core/nulib/workflows/{}.nu *; {}", workflow, args.join(" ")));

        let output = cmd.output().await?;
        let result: WorkflowResult = serde_json::from_slice(&output.stdout)?;
        Ok(result)
    }

Data Exchange Format:

    {
        "status": "success" | "error" | "partial",
        "result": {
            "operation": "server_create",
            "resources": ["server-001", "server-002"],
            "metadata": { ... }
        },
        "error": null | { "code": "ERR001", "message": "..." },
        "context": { "workflow_id": "wf-123", "step": 2 }
    }

#### Nushell-to-Rust Communication Pattern

Use Case: Business logic submitting workflows to orchestrator

Implementation:

    def submit-workflow [workflow: record] -> record {
        let payload = $workflow | to json

        http post "http://localhost:9090/workflows/submit" {
            headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }
            body: $payload
        }
        | from json
    }

API Contract:

    {
        "workflow_id": "wf-456",
        "name": "multi_cloud_deployment",
        "operations": [...],
        "dependencies": { ... },
        "configuration": { ... }
    }

### 2. Provider Abstraction Pattern

#### Standard Provider Interface

Purpose: Uniform API across different cloud providers

Interface Definition:

    # Standard provider interface that all providers must implement
    export def list-servers [] -> table {
        # Provider-specific implementation
    }

    export def create-server [config: record] -> record {
        # Provider-specific implementation
    }

    export def delete-server [id: string] -> nothing {
        # Provider-specific implementation
    }

    export def get-server [id: string] -> record {
        # Provider-specific implementation
    }

Configuration Integration:

    [providers.aws]
    region = "us-west-2"
    credentials_profile = "default"
    timeout = 300

    [providers.upcloud]
    zone = "de-fra1"
    api_endpoint = "https://api.upcloud.com"
    timeout = 180

    [providers.local]
    docker_socket = "/var/run/docker.sock"
    network_mode = "bridge"

#### Provider Discovery and Loading

    def load-providers [] -> table {
        let provider_dirs = glob "providers/*/nulib"

        $provider_dirs
        | each { |dir|
            let provider_name = $dir | path basename | path dirname | path basename
            let provider_config = get-provider-config $provider_name

            {
                name: $provider_name,
                path: $dir,
                config: $provider_config,
                available: (test-provider-connectivity $provider_name)
            }
        }
    }

### 3. Configuration Resolution Pattern

#### Hierarchical Configuration Loading

Implementation:

    def resolve-configuration [context: record] -> record {
        let base_config = open config.defaults.toml
        let user_config = if ("config.user.toml" | path exists) {
            open config.user.toml
        } else { {} }

        let env_config = if ($env.PROVISIONING_ENV? | is-not-empty) {
            let env_file = $"config.($env.PROVISIONING_ENV).toml"
            if ($env_file | path exists) { open $env_file } else { {} }
        } else { {} }

        let merged_config = $base_config
        | merge $user_config
        | merge $env_config
        | merge ($context.runtime_config? | default {})

        interpolate-variables $merged_config
    }

#### Variable Interpolation Pattern

    def interpolate-variables [config: record] -> record {
        let interpolations = {
            "{{paths.base}}": ($env.PWD),
            "{{env.HOME}}": ($env.HOME),
            "{{now.date}}": (date now | format date "%Y-%m-%d"),
            "{{git.branch}}": (git branch --show-current | str trim)
        }

        $config
        | to json
        | str replace --all "{{paths.base}}" $interpolations."{{paths.base}}"
        | str replace --all "{{env.HOME}}" $interpolations."{{env.HOME}}"
        | str replace --all "{{now.date}}" $interpolations."{{now.date}}"
        | str replace --all "{{git.branch}}" $interpolations."{{git.branch}}"
        | from json
    }

### 4. Workflow Orchestration Patterns

#### Dependency Resolution Pattern

Use Case: Managing complex workflow dependencies

Implementation (Rust):

    use petgraph::{Graph, Direction};
    use std::collections::HashMap;

    pub struct DependencyResolver {
        graph: Graph<String, ()>,
        node_map: HashMap<String, petgraph::graph::NodeIndex>,
    }

    impl DependencyResolver {
        pub fn resolve_execution_order(&self) -> Result<Vec<String>, Error> {
            let mut topo = petgraph::algo::toposort(&self.graph, None)
                .map_err(|_| Error::CyclicDependency)?;

            Ok(topo.into_iter()
                .map(|idx| self.graph[idx].clone())
                .collect())
        }

        pub fn add_dependency(&mut self, from: &str, to: &str) {
            let from_idx = self.get_or_create_node(from);
            let to_idx = self.get_or_create_node(to);
            self.graph.add_edge(from_idx, to_idx, ());
        }
    }

#### Parallel Execution Pattern

    use tokio::task::JoinSet;
    use futures::stream::{FuturesUnordered, StreamExt};

    pub async fn execute_parallel_batch(
        operations: Vec<Operation>,
        parallelism_limit: usize
    ) -> Result<Vec<OperationResult>, Error> {
        let semaphore = tokio::sync::Semaphore::new(parallelism_limit);
        let mut join_set = JoinSet::new();

        for operation in operations {
            let permit = semaphore.clone();
            join_set.spawn(async move {
                let _permit = permit.acquire().await?;
                execute_operation(operation).await
            });
        }

        let mut results = Vec::new();
        while let Some(result) = join_set.join_next().await {
            results.push(result??);
        }

        Ok(results)
    }

### 5. State Management Patterns

#### Checkpoint-Based Recovery Pattern

Use Case: Reliable state persistence and recovery

Implementation:

    #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
    pub struct WorkflowCheckpoint {
        pub workflow_id: String,
        pub step: usize,
        pub completed_operations: Vec<String>,
        pub current_state: serde_json::Value,
        pub metadata: HashMap<String, String>,
        pub timestamp: chrono::DateTime<chrono::Utc>,
    }

    pub struct CheckpointManager {
        checkpoint_dir: PathBuf,
    }

    impl CheckpointManager {
        pub fn save_checkpoint(&self, checkpoint: &WorkflowCheckpoint) -> Result<(), Error> {
            let checkpoint_file = self.checkpoint_dir
                .join(&checkpoint.workflow_id)
                .with_extension("json");

            let checkpoint_data = serde_json::to_string_pretty(checkpoint)?;
            std::fs::write(checkpoint_file, checkpoint_data)?;
            Ok(())
        }

        pub fn restore_checkpoint(&self, workflow_id: &str) -> Result<Option<WorkflowCheckpoint>, Error> {
            let checkpoint_file = self.checkpoint_dir
                .join(workflow_id)
                .with_extension("json");

            if checkpoint_file.exists() {
                let checkpoint_data = std::fs::read_to_string(checkpoint_file)?;
                let checkpoint = serde_json::from_str(&checkpoint_data)?;
                Ok(Some(checkpoint))
            } else {
                Ok(None)
            }
        }
    }

#### Rollback Pattern

    pub struct RollbackManager {
        rollback_stack: Vec<RollbackAction>,
    }

    #[derive(Clone, Debug)]
    pub enum RollbackAction {
        DeleteResource { provider: String, resource_id: String },
        RestoreFile { path: PathBuf, content: String },
        RevertConfiguration { key: String, value: serde_json::Value },
        CustomAction { command: String, args: Vec<String> },
    }

    impl RollbackManager {
        pub async fn execute_rollback(&self) -> Result<(), Error> {
            // Execute rollback actions in reverse order
            for action in self.rollback_stack.iter().rev() {
                match action {
                    RollbackAction::DeleteResource { provider, resource_id } => {
                        self.delete_resource(provider, resource_id).await?;
                    }
                    RollbackAction::RestoreFile { path, content } => {
                        tokio::fs::write(path, content).await?;
                    }
                    // ... handle other rollback actions
                }
            }
            Ok(())
        }
    }

### 6. Event and Messaging Patterns

#### Event-Driven Architecture Pattern

Use Case: Decoupled communication between components

Event Definition:

    #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Clone, Debug)]
    pub enum SystemEvent {
        WorkflowStarted { workflow_id: String, name: String },
        WorkflowCompleted { workflow_id: String, result: WorkflowResult },
        WorkflowFailed { workflow_id: String, error: String },
        ResourceCreated { provider: String, resource_type: String, resource_id: String },
        ResourceDeleted { provider: String, resource_type: String, resource_id: String },
        ConfigurationChanged { key: String, old_value: serde_json::Value, new_value: serde_json::Value },
    }

Event Bus Implementation:

    use tokio::sync::broadcast;

    pub struct EventBus {
        sender: broadcast::Sender<SystemEvent>,
    }

    impl EventBus {
        pub fn new(capacity: usize) -> Self {
            let (sender, _) = broadcast::channel(capacity);
            Self { sender }
        }

        pub fn publish(&self, event: SystemEvent) -> Result<(), Error> {
            self.sender.send(event)
                .map_err(|_| Error::EventPublishFailed)?;
            Ok(())
        }

        pub fn subscribe(&self) -> broadcast::Receiver<SystemEvent> {
            self.sender.subscribe()
        }
    }

### 7. Extension Integration Patterns

#### Extension Discovery and Loading

    def discover-extensions [] -> table {
        let extension_dirs = glob "extensions/*/extension.toml"

        $extension_dirs
        | each { |manifest_path|
            let extension_dir = $manifest_path | path dirname
            let manifest = open $manifest_path

            {
                name: $manifest.extension.name,
                version: $manifest.extension.version,
                type: $manifest.extension.type,
                path: $extension_dir,
                manifest: $manifest,
                valid: (validate-extension $manifest),
                compatible: (check-compatibility $manifest.compatibility)
            }
        }
        | where valid and compatible
    }

#### Extension Interface Pattern

    # Standard extension interface
    export def extension-info [] -> record {
        {
            name: "custom-provider",
            version: "1.0.0",
            type: "provider",
            description: "Custom cloud provider integration",
            entry_points: {
                cli: "nulib/cli.nu",
                provider: "nulib/provider.nu"
            }
        }
    }

    export def extension-validate [] -> bool {
        # Validate extension configuration and dependencies
        true
    }

    export def extension-activate [] -> nothing {
        # Perform extension activation tasks
    }

    export def extension-deactivate [] -> nothing {
        # Perform extension cleanup tasks
    }

### 8. API Design Patterns

#### REST API Standardization

Base API Structure:

    use axum::{
        extract::{Path, State},
        response::Json,
        routing::{get, post, delete},
        Router,
    };

    pub fn create_api_router(state: AppState) -> Router {
        Router::new()
            .route("/health", get(health_check))
            .route("/workflows", get(list_workflows).post(create_workflow))
            .route("/workflows/:id", get(get_workflow).delete(delete_workflow))
            .route("/workflows/:id/status", get(workflow_status))
            .route("/workflows/:id/logs", get(workflow_logs))
            .with_state(state)
    }

Standard Response Format:

    {
        "status": "success" | "error" | "pending",
        "data": { ... },
        "metadata": {
            "timestamp": "2025-09-26T12:00:00Z",
            "request_id": "req-123",
            "version": "3.1.0"
        },
        "error": null | {
            "code": "ERR001",
            "message": "Human readable error",
            "details": { ... }
        }
    }

## Error Handling Patterns

### Structured Error Pattern

    #[derive(thiserror::Error, Debug)]
    pub enum ProvisioningError {
        #[error("Configuration error: {message}")]
        Configuration { message: String },

        #[error("Provider error [{provider}]: {message}")]
        Provider { provider: String, message: String },

        #[error("Workflow error [{workflow_id}]: {message}")]
        Workflow { workflow_id: String, message: String },

        #[error("Resource error [{resource_type}/{resource_id}]: {message}")]
        Resource { resource_type: String, resource_id: String, message: String },
    }

### Error Recovery Pattern

    def with-retry [operation: closure, max_attempts: int = 3] {
        mut attempts = 0
        mut last_error = null

        while $attempts < $max_attempts {
            try {
                return (do $operation)
            } catch { |error|
                $attempts = $attempts + 1
                $last_error = $error

                if $attempts < $max_attempts {
                    let delay = (2 ** ($attempts - 1)) * 1000  # Exponential backoff
                    sleep $"($delay)ms"
                }
            }
        }

        error make { msg: $"Operation failed after ($max_attempts) attempts: ($last_error)" }
    }

## Performance Optimization Patterns

### Caching Strategy Pattern

    use std::sync::Arc;
    use tokio::sync::RwLock;
    use std::collections::HashMap;
    use chrono::{DateTime, Utc, Duration};

    #[derive(Clone)]
    pub struct CacheEntry<T> {
        pub value: T,
        pub expires_at: DateTime<Utc>,
    }

    pub struct Cache<T> {
        store: Arc<RwLock<HashMap<String, CacheEntry<T>>>>,
        default_ttl: Duration,
    }

    impl<T: Clone> Cache<T> {
        pub async fn get(&self, key: &str) -> Option<T> {
            let store = self.store.read().await;
            if let Some(entry) = store.get(key) {
                if entry.expires_at > Utc::now() {
                    Some(entry.value.clone())
                } else {
                    None
                }
            } else {
                None
            }
        }

        pub async fn set(&self, key: String, value: T) {
            let expires_at = Utc::now() + self.default_ttl;
            let entry = CacheEntry { value, expires_at };

            let mut store = self.store.write().await;
            store.insert(key, entry);
        }
    }

### Streaming Pattern for Large Data

    def process-large-dataset [source: string] -> nothing {
        # Stream processing instead of loading entire dataset
        open $source
        | lines
        | each { |line|
            # Process line individually
            $line | process-record
        }
        | save output.json
    }

## Testing Integration Patterns

### Integration Test Pattern

    #[cfg(test)]
    mod integration_tests {
        use super::*;
        use tokio_test;

        #[tokio::test]
        async fn test_workflow_execution() {
            let orchestrator = setup_test_orchestrator().await;
            let workflow = create_test_workflow();

            let result = orchestrator.execute_workflow(workflow).await;

            assert!(result.is_ok());
            assert_eq!(result.unwrap().status, WorkflowStatus::Completed);
        }
    }

These integration patterns provide the foundation for the system’s sophisticated multi-component architecture, enabling reliable, scalable, and maintainable infrastructure automation.

# Orchestrator Integration Model - Deep Dive

Date: 2025-10-01 Status: Clarification Document Related: Multi-Repo Strategy, Hybrid Orchestrator v3.0

## Executive Summary

This document clarifies how the Rust orchestrator integrates with Nushell core in both monorepo and multi-repo architectures. The orchestrator is a critical performance layer that coordinates Nushell business logic execution, solving deep call stack limitations while preserving all existing functionality.

## Current Architecture (Hybrid Orchestrator v3.0)

### The Problem Being Solved

Original Issue:

    Deep call stack in Nushell (template.nu:71)
    → "Type not supported" errors
    → Cannot handle complex nested workflows
    → Performance bottlenecks with recursive calls

Solution: Rust orchestrator provides:

1. Task queue management (file-based, reliable)
2. Priority scheduling (intelligent task ordering)
3. Deep call stack elimination (Rust handles recursion)
4. Performance optimization (async/await, parallel execution)
5. State management (workflow checkpointing)

### How It Works Today (Monorepo)

### Three Execution Modes

#### Mode 1: Direct Mode (Simple Operations)

    # No orchestrator needed
    provisioning server list
    provisioning env
    provisioning help

    # Direct Nushell execution
    provisioning (CLI) → Nushell scripts → Result

#### Mode 2: Orchestrated Mode (Complex Operations)

    # Uses orchestrator for coordination
    provisioning server create --orchestrated

    # Flow:
    provisioning CLI → Orchestrator API → Task Queue → Nushell executor
                                                     ↓
                                                Result back to user

#### Mode 3: Workflow Mode (Batch Operations)

    # Complex workflows with dependencies
    provisioning workflow submit server-cluster.ncl

    # Flow:
    provisioning CLI → Orchestrator Workflow Engine → Dependency Graph
                                                     ↓
                                                Parallel task execution
                                                     ↓
                                                Nushell scripts for each task
                                                     ↓
                                                Checkpoint state

## Integration Patterns

### Pattern 1: CLI Submits Tasks to Orchestrator

Current Implementation:

Nushell CLI (`core/nulib/workflows/server_create.nu`):

    # Submit server creation workflow to orchestrator
    export def server_create_workflow [
        infra_name: string
        --orchestrated
    ] {
        if $orchestrated {
            # Submit task to orchestrator
            let task = {
                type: "server_create"
                infra: $infra_name
                params: { ... }
            }

            # POST to orchestrator REST API
            http post http://localhost:9090/workflows/servers/create $task
        } else {
            # Direct execution (old way)
            do-server-create $infra_name
        }
    }

Rust Orchestrator (`platform/orchestrator/src/api/workflows.rs`):

    // Receive workflow submission from Nushell CLI
    #[axum::debug_handler]
    async fn create_server_workflow(
        State(state): State<Arc<AppState>>,
        Json(request): Json<ServerCreateRequest>,
    ) -> Result<Json<WorkflowResponse>, ApiError> {
        // Create task
        let task = Task {
            id: Uuid::new_v4(),
            task_type: TaskType::ServerCreate,
            payload: serde_json::to_value(&request)?,
            priority: Priority::Normal,
            status: TaskStatus::Pending,
            created_at: Utc::now(),
        };

        // Queue task
        state.task_queue.enqueue(task).await?;

        // Return immediately (async execution)
        Ok(Json(WorkflowResponse {
            workflow_id: task.id,
            status: "queued",
        }))
    }

Flow:

    User → provisioning server create --orchestrated
         ↓
    Nushell CLI prepares task
         ↓
    HTTP POST to orchestrator (localhost:9090)
         ↓
    Orchestrator queues task
         ↓
    Returns workflow ID immediately
         ↓
    User can monitor: provisioning workflow monitor <id>

### Pattern 2: Orchestrator Executes Nushell Scripts

Orchestrator Task Executor (`platform/orchestrator/src/executor.rs`):

    // Orchestrator spawns Nushell to execute business logic
    pub async fn execute_task(task: Task) -> Result<TaskResult> {
        match task.task_type {
            TaskType::ServerCreate => {
                // Orchestrator calls Nushell script via subprocess
                let output = Command::new("nu")
                    .arg("-c")
                    .arg(format!(
                        "use {}/servers/create.nu; create-server '{}'",
                        PROVISIONING_LIB_PATH,
                        task.payload.infra_name
                    ))
                    .output()
                    .await?;

                // Parse Nushell output
                let result = parse_nushell_output(&output)?;

                Ok(TaskResult {
                    task_id: task.id,
                    status: if result.success { "completed" } else { "failed" },
                    output: result.data,
                })
            }
            // Other task types...
        }
    }

Flow:

    Orchestrator task queue has pending task
         ↓
    Executor picks up task
         ↓
    Spawns Nushell subprocess: nu -c "use servers/create.nu; create-server 'wuji'"
         ↓
    Nushell executes business logic
         ↓
    Returns result to orchestrator
         ↓
    Orchestrator updates task status
         ↓
    User monitors via: provisioning workflow status <id>

### Pattern 3: Bidirectional Communication

Nushell Calls Orchestrator API:

    # Nushell script checks orchestrator status during execution
    export def check-orchestrator-health [] {
        let response = (http get http://localhost:9090/health)

        if $response.status != "healthy" {
            error make { msg: "Orchestrator not available" }
        }

        $response
    }

    # Nushell script reports progress to orchestrator
    export def report-progress [task_id: string, progress: int] {
        http post http://localhost:9090/tasks/$task_id/progress {
            progress: $progress
            status: "in_progress"
        }
    }

Orchestrator Monitors Nushell Execution:

    // Orchestrator tracks Nushell subprocess
    pub async fn execute_with_monitoring(task: Task) -> Result<TaskResult> {
        let mut child = Command::new("nu")
            .arg("-c")
            .arg(&task.script)
            .stdout(Stdio::piped())
            .stderr(Stdio::piped())
            .spawn()?;

        // Monitor stdout/stderr in real-time
        let stdout = child.stdout.take().unwrap();
        tokio::spawn(async move {
            let reader = BufReader::new(stdout);
            let mut lines = reader.lines();

            while let Some(line) = lines.next_line().await.unwrap() {
                // Parse progress updates from Nushell
                if line.contains("PROGRESS:") {
                    update_task_progress(&line);
                }
            }
        });

        // Wait for completion with timeout
        let result = tokio::time::timeout(
            Duration::from_secs(3600),
            child.wait()
        ).await??;

        Ok(TaskResult::from_exit_status(result))
    }

## Multi-Repo Architecture Impact

### Repository Split Doesn’t Change Integration Model

In Multi-Repo Setup:

Repository: `provisioning-core`

- Contains: Nushell business logic
- Installs to: `/usr/local/lib/provisioning/`
- Package: `provisioning-core-3.2.1.tar.gz`

Repository: `provisioning-platform`

- Contains: Rust orchestrator
- Installs to: `/usr/local/bin/provisioning-orchestrator`
- Package: `provisioning-platform-2.5.3.tar.gz`

Runtime Integration (Same as Monorepo):

    User installs both packages:
      provisioning-core-3.2.1     → /usr/local/lib/provisioning/
      provisioning-platform-2.5.3 → /usr/local/bin/provisioning-orchestrator

    Orchestrator expects core at:  /usr/local/lib/provisioning/
    Core expects orchestrator at:  http://localhost:9090/

    No code dependencies, just runtime coordination!

### Configuration-Based Integration

Core Package (`provisioning-core`) config:

    # /usr/local/share/provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml

    [orchestrator]
    enabled = true
    endpoint = "http://localhost:9090"
    timeout = 60
    auto_start = true  # Start orchestrator if not running

    [execution]
    default_mode = "orchestrated"  # Use orchestrator by default
    fallback_to_direct = true      # Fall back if orchestrator down

Platform Package (`provisioning-platform`) config:

    # /usr/local/share/provisioning/platform/config.toml

    [orchestrator]
    host = "127.0.0.1"
    port = 8080
    data_dir = "/var/lib/provisioning/orchestrator"

    [executor]
    nushell_binary = "nu"  # Expects nu in PATH
    provisioning_lib = "/usr/local/lib/provisioning"
    max_concurrent_tasks = 10
    task_timeout_seconds = 3600

### Version Compatibility

Compatibility Matrix (`provisioning-distribution/versions.toml`):

    [compatibility.platform."2.5.3"]
    core = "^3.2"  # Platform 2.5.3 compatible with core 3.2.x
    min-core = "3.2.0"
    api-version = "v1"

    [compatibility.core."3.2.1"]
    platform = "^2.5"  # Core 3.2.1 compatible with platform 2.5.x
    min-platform = "2.5.0"
    orchestrator-api = "v1"

## Execution Flow Examples

### Example 1: Simple Server Creation (Direct Mode)

No Orchestrator Needed:

    provisioning server list

    # Flow:
    CLI → servers/list.nu → Query state → Return results
    (Orchestrator not involved)

### Example 2: Server Creation with Orchestrator

Using Orchestrator:

    provisioning server create --orchestrated --infra wuji

    # Detailed Flow:
    1. User executes command
       ↓
    2. Nushell CLI (provisioning binary)
       ↓
    3. Reads config: orchestrator.enabled = true
       ↓
    4. Prepares task payload:
       {
         type: "server_create",
         infra: "wuji",
         params: { ... }
       }
       ↓
    5. HTTP POST → http://localhost:9090/workflows/servers/create
       ↓
    6. Orchestrator receives request
       ↓
    7. Creates task with UUID
       ↓
    8. Enqueues to task queue (file-based: /var/lib/provisioning/queue/)
       ↓
    9. Returns immediately: { workflow_id: "abc-123", status: "queued" }
       ↓
    10. User sees: "Workflow submitted: abc-123"
       ↓
    11. Orchestrator executor picks up task
       ↓
    12. Spawns Nushell subprocess:
        nu -c "use /usr/local/lib/provisioning/servers/create.nu; create-server 'wuji'"
       ↓
    13. Nushell executes business logic:
        - Reads Nickel config
        - Calls provider API (UpCloud/AWS)
        - Creates server
        - Returns result
       ↓
    14. Orchestrator captures output
       ↓
    15. Updates task status: "completed"
       ↓
    16. User monitors: provisioning workflow status abc-123
        → Shows: "Server wuji created successfully"

### Example 3: Batch Workflow with Dependencies

Complex Workflow:

    provisioning batch submit multi-cloud-deployment.ncl

    # Workflow contains:
    - Create 5 servers (parallel)
    - Install Kubernetes on servers (depends on server creation)
    - Deploy applications (depends on Kubernetes)

    # Detailed Flow:
    1. CLI submits Nickel workflow to orchestrator
       ↓
    2. Orchestrator parses workflow
       ↓
    3. Builds dependency graph using petgraph (Rust)
       ↓
    4. Topological sort determines execution order
       ↓
    5. Creates tasks for each operation
       ↓
    6. Executes in parallel where possible:

       [Server 1] [Server 2] [Server 3] [Server 4] [Server 5]
           ↓          ↓          ↓          ↓          ↓
       (All execute in parallel via Nushell subprocesses)
           ↓          ↓          ↓          ↓          ↓
           └──────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┘
                               │
                               ↓
                        [All servers ready]
                               ↓
                      [Install Kubernetes]
                      (Nushell subprocess)
                               ↓
                      [Kubernetes ready]
                               ↓
                      [Deploy applications]
                      (Nushell subprocess)
                               ↓
                           [Complete]

    7. Orchestrator checkpoints state at each step
       ↓
    8. If failure occurs, can retry from checkpoint
       ↓
    9. User monitors real-time: provisioning batch monitor <id>

## Why This Architecture

### Orchestrator Benefits

1. Eliminates Deep Call Stack Issues

       Without Orchestrator:
       template.nu → calls → cluster.nu → calls → taskserv.nu → calls → provider.nu
       (Deep nesting causes "Type not supported" errors)

       With Orchestrator:
       Orchestrator → spawns → Nushell subprocess (flat execution)
       (No deep nesting, fresh Nushell context for each task)

2. Performance Optimization

       // Orchestrator executes tasks in parallel
       let tasks = vec![task1, task2, task3, task4, task5];

       let results = futures::future::join_all(
           tasks.iter().map(|t| execute_task(t))
       ).await;

       // 5 Nushell subprocesses run concurrently

3. Reliable State Management

       Orchestrator maintains:
       - Task queue (survives crashes)
       - Workflow checkpoints (resume on failure)
       - Progress tracking (real-time monitoring)
       - Retry logic (automatic recovery)

1. Clean Separation

       Orchestrator (Rust):     Performance, concurrency, state
       Business Logic (Nushell): Providers, taskservs, workflows

       Each does what it's best at!

### Why NOT Pure Rust

Question: Why not implement everything in Rust?

Answer:

1. Nushell is perfect for infrastructure automation:

   - Shell-like scripting for system operations
   - Built-in structured data handling
   - Easy template rendering
   - Readable business logic

2. Rapid iteration:

   - Change Nushell scripts without recompiling
   - Community can contribute Nushell modules
   - Template-based configuration generation

3. Best of both worlds:

   - Rust: Performance, type safety, concurrency
   - Nushell: Flexibility, readability, ease of use

## Multi-Repo Integration Example

### Installation

User installs bundle:

    curl -fsSL https://get.provisioning.io | sh

    # Installs:
    1. provisioning-core-3.2.1.tar.gz
       → /usr/local/bin/provisioning (Nushell CLI)
       → /usr/local/lib/provisioning/ (Nushell libraries)
       → /usr/local/share/provisioning/ (configs, templates)

    2. provisioning-platform-2.5.3.tar.gz
       → /usr/local/bin/provisioning-orchestrator (Rust binary)
       → /usr/local/share/provisioning/platform/ (platform configs)

    3. Sets up systemd/launchd service for orchestrator

### Runtime Coordination

Core package expects orchestrator:

    # core/nulib/lib_provisioning/orchestrator/client.nu

    # Check if orchestrator is running
    export def orchestrator-available [] {
        let config = (load-config)
        let endpoint = $config.orchestrator.endpoint

        try {
            let response = (http get $"($endpoint)/health")
            $response.status == "healthy"
        } catch {
            false
        }
    }

    # Auto-start orchestrator if needed
    export def ensure-orchestrator [] {
        if not (orchestrator-available) {
            if (load-config).orchestrator.auto_start {
                print "Starting orchestrator..."
                ^provisioning-orchestrator --daemon
                sleep 2sec
            }
        }
    }

Platform package executes core scripts:

    // platform/orchestrator/src/executor/nushell.rs

    pub struct NushellExecutor {
        provisioning_lib: PathBuf,  // /usr/local/lib/provisioning
        nu_binary: PathBuf,          // nu (from PATH)
    }

    impl NushellExecutor {
        pub async fn execute_script(&self, script: &str) -> Result<Output> {
            Command::new(&self.nu_binary)
                .env("NU_LIB_DIRS", &self.provisioning_lib)
                .arg("-c")
                .arg(script)
                .output()
                .await
        }

        pub async fn execute_module_function(
            &self,
            module: &str,
            function: &str,
            args: &[String],
        ) -> Result<Output> {
            let script = format!(
                "use {}/{}; {} {}",
                self.provisioning_lib.display(),
                module,
                function,
                args.join(" ")
            );

            self.execute_script(&script).await
        }
    }

## Configuration Examples

### Core Package Config

`/usr/local/share/provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml`:

    [orchestrator]
    enabled = true
    endpoint = "http://localhost:9090"
    timeout_seconds = 60
    auto_start = true
    fallback_to_direct = true

    [execution]
    # Modes: "direct", "orchestrated", "auto"
    default_mode = "auto"  # Auto-detect based on complexity

    # Operations that always use orchestrator
    force_orchestrated = [
        "server.create",
        "cluster.create",
        "batch.*",
        "workflow.*"
    ]

    # Operations that always run direct
    force_direct = [
        "*.list",
        "*.show",
        "help",
        "version"
    ]

### Platform Package Config

`/usr/local/share/provisioning/platform/config.toml`:

    [server]
    host = "127.0.0.1"
    port = 8080

    [storage]
    backend = "filesystem"  # or "surrealdb"
    data_dir = "/var/lib/provisioning/orchestrator"

    [executor]
    max_concurrent_tasks = 10
    task_timeout_seconds = 3600
    checkpoint_interval_seconds = 30

    [nushell]
    binary = "nu"  # Expects nu in PATH
    provisioning_lib = "/usr/local/lib/provisioning"
    env_vars = { NU_LIB_DIRS = "/usr/local/lib/provisioning" }

## Key Takeaways

### 1. Orchestrator is Essential

- Solves deep call stack problems
- Provides performance optimization
- Enables complex workflows
- NOT optional for production use

### 2. Integration is Loose but Coordinated

- No code dependencies between repos
- Runtime integration via CLI + REST API
- Configuration-driven coordination
- Works in both monorepo and multi-repo

### 3. Best of Both Worlds

- Rust: High-performance coordination
- Nushell: Flexible business logic
- Clean separation of concerns
- Each technology does what it’s best at

### 4. Multi-Repo Doesn’t Change Integration

- Same runtime model as monorepo
- Package installation sets up paths
- Configuration enables discovery
- Versioning ensures compatibility

## Conclusion

The confusing example in the multi-repo doc was oversimplified. The real architecture is:

    ✅ Orchestrator IS USED and IS ESSENTIAL
    ✅ Platform (Rust) coordinates Core (Nushell) execution
    ✅ Loose coupling via CLI + REST API (not code dependencies)
    ✅ Works identically in monorepo and multi-repo
    ✅ Configuration-based integration (no hardcoded paths)

The orchestrator provides:

- Performance layer (async, parallel execution)
- Workflow engine (complex dependencies)
- State management (checkpoints, recovery)
- Task queue (reliable execution)

While Nushell provides:

- Business logic (providers, taskservs, clusters)
- Template rendering (Jinja2 via nu_plugin_tera)
- Configuration management (KCL integration)
- User-facing scripting

Multi-repo just splits WHERE the code lives, not HOW it works together.

# Multi-Repository Architecture with OCI Registry Support

Version: 1.0.0 Date: 2025-10-06 Status: Implementation Complete

## Overview

This document describes the multi-repository architecture for the provisioning system, enabling modular development, independent versioning, and distributed extension management through OCI registry integration.

## Architecture Goals

1. Separation of Concerns: Core, Extensions, and Platform in separate repositories
2. Independent Versioning: Each component can be versioned and released independently
3. Distributed Development: Multiple teams can work on different repositories
4. OCI-Native Distribution: Extensions distributed as OCI artifacts
5. Dependency Management: Automated dependency resolution across repositories
6. Backward Compatibility: Support legacy monorepo structure during transition

## Repository Structure

      core:
        source: "oci://harbor.company.com/provisioning-core:v3.5.0"
        # Alternative: source: "gitea://provisioning-core"

      # Extensions repository configuration
      extensions:
        source_type: "oci"          # oci, gitea, local

        # OCI registry configuration

          namespace: "provisioning-extensions"
          tls_enabled: false
          auth_token_path: "~/.provisioning/tokens/oci"

        # Loaded extension modules
        modules:
          providers:
            - "oci://localhost:5000/provisioning-extensions/aws:2.0.0"
            - "oci://localhost:5000/provisioning-extensions/upcloud:1.5.0"

            nickel: "provisioning-nickel"
            platform: "provisioning-platform"
            test: "provisioning-test"

### Dependency Resolution

The system resolves dependencies in this order:

1. Parse Configuration: Read `provisioning.yaml` and extract dependencies
2. Resolve Core: Ensure core system version is compatible
3. Resolve Extensions: For each extension:
   - Check if already installed and version matches
   - Pull from OCI registry if needed
   - Recursively resolve extension dependencies
4. Validate Graph: Check for dependency cycles and conflicts
5. Install: Install extensions in topological order

### Dependency Resolution Commands

    # Resolve and install all dependencies
    provisioning dep resolve

    # Check for dependency updates
    provisioning dep check-updates

    # Update specific extension
    provisioning dep update kubernetes

    # Validate dependency graph
    provisioning dep validate

    # Show dependency tree
    provisioning dep tree kubernetes

## OCI Client Operations

### CLI Commands

    # Pull extension from OCI registry
    provisioning oci pull kubernetes:1.28.0

    # Push extension to OCI registry
    provisioning oci push ./extensions/kubernetes kubernetes 1.28.0

    # List available extensions
    provisioning oci list --namespace provisioning-extensions

    # Search for extensions
    provisioning oci search kubernetes

    # Show extension versions
    provisioning oci tags kubernetes

    # Inspect extension manifest
    provisioning oci inspect kubernetes:1.28.0

    # Login to OCI registry
    provisioning oci login localhost:5000 --username _token --password-stdin

    # Delete extension
    provisioning oci delete kubernetes:1.28.0

    # Copy extension between registries
    provisioning oci copy \
      localhost:5000/provisioning-extensions/kubernetes:1.28.0 \
      harbor.company.com/provisioning-extensions/kubernetes:1.28.0

### OCI Configuration

    # Show OCI configuration
    provisioning oci config

    # Output:
    {
      tool: "oras"  # or "crane" or "skopeo"
      registry: "localhost:5000"
      namespace: {
        extensions: "provisioning-extensions"
        platform: "provisioning-platform"
      }
      cache_dir: "~/.provisioning/oci-cache"
      tls_enabled: false
    }

## Extension Development Workflow

### 1. Develop Extension

    # Create new extension from template
    provisioning generate extension taskserv redis

    # Directory structure created:
    # extensions/taskservs/redis/
    # ├── schemas/
    # │   ├── manifest.toml
    # │   ├── redis.ncl
    # │   ├── version.ncl
    # │   └── dependencies.ncl
    # ├── scripts/
    # │   ├── install.nu
    # │   ├── check.nu
    # │   └── uninstall.nu
    # ├── templates/
    # ├── docs/
    # │   └── README.md
    # ├── tests/
    # └── manifest.yaml

### 2. Test Extension Locally

    # Load extension from local path
    provisioning module load taskserv workspace_dev redis --source local

    # Test installation
    provisioning taskserv create redis --infra test-env --check

    # Run extension tests
    provisioning test extension redis

### 3. Package Extension

    # Validate extension structure
    provisioning oci package validate ./extensions/taskservs/redis

    # Package as OCI artifact
    provisioning oci package ./extensions/taskservs/redis

    # Output: redis-1.0.0.tar.gz

### 4. Publish Extension

    # Login to registry (one-time)
    provisioning oci login localhost:5000

    # Publish extension
    provisioning oci push ./extensions/taskservs/redis redis 1.0.0

    # Verify publication
    provisioning oci tags redis

    # Output:
    # ┬───────────┬─────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
    # │ artifact  │ version │ reference                                         │
    # ├───────────┼─────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
    # │ redis     │ 1.0.0   │ localhost:5000/provisioning-extensions/redis:1.0.0│
    # └───────────┴─────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

### 5. Use Published Extension

    # Add to workspace configuration
    # workspace/config/provisioning.yaml:
    # dependencies:
    #   extensions:
    #     modules:
    #       taskservs:
    #         - "oci://localhost:5000/provisioning-extensions/redis:1.0.0"

    # Pull and install
    provisioning dep resolve

    # Extension automatically downloaded and installed

## Registry Deployment Options

### Local Registry (Solo Development)

Using Zot (lightweight OCI registry):

    # Start local OCI registry
    provisioning oci-registry start

    # Configuration:
    # - Endpoint: localhost:5000
    # - Storage: ~/.provisioning/oci-registry/
    # - No authentication by default
    # - TLS disabled (local only)

    # Stop registry
    provisioning oci-registry stop

    # Check status
    provisioning oci-registry status

### Remote Registry (Multi-User/Enterprise)

Using Harbor:

    # workspace/config/provisioning.yaml
    dependencies:
      registry:
        type: "oci"
        oci:
          endpoint: "https://harbor.company.com"
          namespaces:
            extensions: "provisioning/extensions"
            platform: "provisioning/platform"
          tls_enabled: true
          auth_token_path: "~/.provisioning/tokens/harbor"

Features:

- Multi-user authentication
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
- Vulnerability scanning
- Replication across registries
- Webhook notifications
- Image signing (cosign/notation)

## Migration from Monorepo

### Phase 1: Parallel Structure (Current)

- Monorepo still exists and works
- OCI distribution layer added on top
- Extensions can be loaded from local or OCI
- No breaking changes

### Phase 2: Gradual Migration

    # Migrate extensions one by one
    for ext in (ls provisioning/extensions/taskservs); do
      provisioning oci publish $ext.name
    done

    # Update workspace configurations to use OCI
    provisioning workspace migrate-to-oci workspace_prod

### Phase 3: Repository Split

1. Create `provisioning-core` repository

   - Extract core/ and schemas/ directories
   - Set up CI/CD for core publishing
   - Publish initial OCI artifact

2. Create `provisioning-extensions` repository

   - Extract extensions/ directory
   - Set up CI/CD for extension publishing
   - Publish all extensions to OCI registry

3. Create `provisioning-platform` repository

   - Extract platform/ directory
   - Set up Docker image builds
   - Publish platform services

4. Update workspaces

   - Reconfigure to use OCI dependencies
   - Test multi-repo setup
   - Verify all functionality works

### Phase 4: Deprecate Monorepo

- Archive monorepo
- Redirect to new repositories
- Update documentation
- Announce migration complete

## Benefits Summary

### Modularity

✅ Independent repositories for core, extensions, and platform ✅ Extensions can be developed and versioned separately ✅ Clear ownership and responsibility boundaries

### Distribution

✅ OCI-native distribution (industry standard) ✅ Built-in versioning with OCI tags ✅ Efficient caching with OCI layers ✅ Works with standard tools (skopeo, crane, oras)

### Security

✅ TLS support for registries ✅ Authentication and authorization ✅ Vulnerability scanning (Harbor) ✅ Image signing (cosign, notation) ✅ RBAC for access control

### Developer Experience

✅ Simple CLI commands for extension management ✅ Automatic dependency resolution ✅ Local testing before publishing ✅ Easy extension discovery and installation

### Operations

✅ Air-gapped deployments (mirror OCI registry) ✅ Bandwidth efficient (only download what’s needed) ✅ Version pinning for reproducibility ✅ Rollback support (use previous versions)

### Ecosystem

✅ Compatible with existing OCI tooling ✅ Can use public registries (DockerHub, GitHub, etc.) ✅ Mirror to multiple registries ✅ Replication for high availability

# Multi-Repository Strategy Analysis

Date: 2025-10-01 Status: Strategic Analysis Related: Repository Distribution Analysis

## Executive Summary

This document analyzes a multi-repository strategy as an alternative to the monorepo approach. After careful consideration of the provisioning system’s architecture, a hybrid approach with 4 core repositories is recommended, avoiding submodules in favor of a cleaner package-based dependency model.

## Repository Architecture Options

### Option A: Pure Monorepo (Original Recommendation)

Single repository: `provisioning`

Pros:

- Simplest development workflow
- Atomic cross-component changes
- Single version number
- One CI/CD pipeline

Cons:

- Large repository size
- Mixed language tooling (Rust + Nushell)
- All-or-nothing updates
- Unclear ownership boundaries

### Option B: Multi-Repo with Submodules (❌ Not Recommended)

Repositories:

- `provisioning-core` (main, contains submodules)
- `provisioning-platform` (submodule)
- `provisioning-extensions` (submodule)
- `provisioning-workspace` (submodule)

Why Not Recommended:

- Submodule hell: complex, error-prone workflows
- Detached HEAD issues
- Update synchronization nightmares
- Clone complexity for users
- Difficult to maintain version compatibility
- Poor developer experience

### Option C: Multi-Repo with Package Dependencies (✅ RECOMMENDED)

Independent repositories with package-based integration:

- `provisioning-core` - Nushell libraries and Nickel schemas
- `provisioning-platform` - Rust services (orchestrator, control-center, MCP)
- `provisioning-extensions` - Extension marketplace/catalog
- `provisioning-workspace` - Project templates and examples
- `provisioning-distribution` - Release automation and packaging

Why Recommended:

- Clean separation of concerns
- Independent versioning and release cycles
- Language-specific tooling and workflows
- Clear ownership boundaries
- Package-based dependencies (no submodules)
- Easier community contributions

### Integration Mechanisms

#### 1. Core ↔ Platform Integration

Method: Loose coupling via CLI + REST API

    # Platform calls Core CLI (subprocess)
    def create-server [name: string] {
        # Orchestrator executes Core CLI
        ^provisioning server create $name --infra production
    }

    # Core calls Platform API (HTTP)
    def submit-workflow [workflow: record] {
        http post http://localhost:9090/workflows/submit $workflow
    }

Version Compatibility:

    # platform/Cargo.toml
    [package.metadata.provisioning]
    core-version = "^3.0"  # Compatible with core 3.x

#### 2. Core ↔ Extensions Integration

Method: Plugin/module system

    # Extension manifest
    # extensions/mongodb/manifest.toml
    [extension]
    name = "mongodb"
    version = "1.0.0"
    type = "taskserv"
    core-version = "^3.0"

    [dependencies]
    provisioning-core = "^3.0"

    # Extension installation
    # Core downloads and validates extension
    provisioning extension install mongodb
    # → Downloads from registry
    # → Validates compatibility
    # → Installs to ~/.provisioning/extensions/mongodb

#### 3. Workspace Templates

Method: Git templates or package templates

    # Option 1: GitHub template repository
    gh repo create my-infra --template provisioning-workspace
    cd my-infra
    provisioning workspace init

    # Option 2: Template package
    provisioning workspace create my-infra --template kubernetes
    # → Downloads template package
    # → Scaffolds workspace
    # → Initializes configuration

## Version Management Strategy

### Semantic Versioning Per Repository

Each repository maintains independent semantic versioning:

    provisioning-core:       3.2.1
    provisioning-platform:   2.5.3
    provisioning-extensions: (per-extension versioning)
    provisioning-workspace:  1.4.0

### Compatibility Matrix

`provisioning-distribution/version-management/versions.toml`:

    # Version compatibility matrix
    [compatibility]

    # Core versions and compatible platform versions
    [compatibility.core]
    "3.2.1" = { platform = "^2.5", extensions = "^1.0", workspace = "^1.0" }
    "3.2.0" = { platform = "^2.4", extensions = "^1.0", workspace = "^1.0" }
    "3.1.0" = { platform = "^2.3", extensions = "^0.9", workspace = "^1.0" }

    # Platform versions and compatible core versions
    [compatibility.platform]
    "2.5.3" = { core = "^3.2", min-core = "3.2.0" }
    "2.5.0" = { core = "^3.1", min-core = "3.1.0" }

    # Release bundles (tested combinations)
    [bundles]

    [bundles.stable-3.2]
    name = "Stable 3.2 Bundle"
    release-date = "2025-10-15"
    core = "3.2.1"
    platform = "2.5.3"
    extensions = ["mongodb@1.2.0", "redis@1.1.0", "azure@2.0.0"]
    workspace = "1.4.0"

    [bundles.lts-3.1]
    name = "LTS 3.1 Bundle"
    release-date = "2025-09-01"
    lts-until = "2026-09-01"
    core = "3.1.5"
    platform = "2.4.8"
    workspace = "1.3.0"

### Release Coordination

Coordinated releases for major versions:

    # Major release: All repos release together
    provisioning-core:     3.0.0
    provisioning-platform: 2.0.0
    provisioning-workspace: 1.0.0

    # Minor/patch releases: Independent
    provisioning-core:     3.1.0 (adds features, platform stays 2.0.x)
    provisioning-platform: 2.1.0 (improves orchestrator, core stays 3.1.x)

## Development Workflow

### Working on Single Repository

    # Developer working on core only
    git clone https://github.com/yourorg/provisioning-core
    cd provisioning-core

    # Install dependencies
    just install-deps

    # Development
    just dev-check
    just test

    # Build package
    just build

    # Test installation locally
    just install-dev

### Working Across Repositories

    # Scenario: Adding new feature requiring core + platform changes

    # 1. Clone both repositories
    git clone https://github.com/yourorg/provisioning-core
    git clone https://github.com/yourorg/provisioning-platform

    # 2. Create feature branches
    cd provisioning-core
    git checkout -b feat/batch-workflow-v2

    cd ../provisioning-platform
    git checkout -b feat/batch-workflow-v2

    # 3. Develop with local linking
    cd provisioning-core
    just install-dev  # Installs to /usr/local/bin/provisioning

    cd ../provisioning-platform
    # Platform uses system provisioning CLI (local dev version)
    cargo run

    # 4. Test integration
    cd ../provisioning-core
    just test-integration

    cd ../provisioning-platform
    cargo test

    # 5. Create PRs in both repositories
    # PR #123 in provisioning-core
    # PR #456 in provisioning-platform (references core PR)

    # 6. Coordinate merge
    # Merge core PR first, cut release 3.3.0
    # Update platform dependency to core 3.3.0
    # Merge platform PR, cut release 2.6.0

### Testing Cross-Repo Integration

    # Integration tests in provisioning-distribution
    cd provisioning-distribution

    # Test specific version combination
    just test-integration \
        --core 3.3.0 \
        --platform 2.6.0

    # Test bundle
    just test-bundle stable-3.3

## Distribution Strategy

### Individual Repository Releases

Each repository releases independently:

    # Core release
    cd provisioning-core
    git tag v3.2.1
    git push --tags
    # → GitHub Actions builds package
    # → Publishes to package registry

    # Platform release
    cd provisioning-platform
    git tag v2.5.3
    git push --tags
    # → GitHub Actions builds binaries
    # → Publishes to package registry

### Bundle Releases (Coordinated)

Distribution repository creates tested bundles:

    cd provisioning-distribution

    # Create bundle
    just create-bundle stable-3.2 \
        --core 3.2.1 \
        --platform 2.5.3 \
        --workspace 1.4.0

    # Test bundle
    just test-bundle stable-3.2

    # Publish bundle
    just publish-bundle stable-3.2
    # → Creates meta-package with all components
    # → Publishes bundle to registry
    # → Updates documentation

### User Installation Options

#### Option 1: Bundle Installation (Recommended for Users)

    # Install stable bundle (easiest)
    curl -fsSL https://get.provisioning.io | sh

    # Installs:
    # - provisioning-core 3.2.1
    # - provisioning-platform 2.5.3
    # - provisioning-workspace 1.4.0

#### Option 2: Individual Component Installation

    # Install only core (minimal)
    curl -fsSL https://get.provisioning.io/core | sh

    # Add platform later
    provisioning install platform

    # Add extensions
    provisioning extension install mongodb

#### Option 3: Custom Combination

    # Install specific versions
    provisioning install core@3.1.0
    provisioning install platform@2.4.0

## Decision Matrix

Criterion | Monorepo | Multi-Repo
--- | --- | ---
Development Complexity | Simple | Moderate
Clone Size | Large (~500 MB) | Small (50-150 MB each)
Cross-Component Changes | Easy (atomic) | Moderate (coordinated)
Independent Releases | Difficult | Easy
Language-Specific Tooling | Mixed | Clean
Community Contributions | Harder (big repo) | Easier (focused repos)
Version Management | Simple (one version) | Complex (matrix)
CI/CD Complexity | Simple (one pipeline) | Moderate (multiple)
Ownership Clarity | Unclear | Clear
Extension Ecosystem | Monolithic | Modular
Build Time | Long (build all) | Short (build one)
Testing Isolation | Difficult | Easy

## Recommended Approach: Multi-Repo

### Why Multi-Repo Wins for This Project

1. Clear Separation of Concerns

   - Nushell core vs Rust platform are different domains
   - Different teams can own different repos
   - Different release cadences make sense

2. Language-Specific Tooling

   - `provisioning-core`: Nushell-focused, simple testing
   - `provisioning-platform`: Rust workspace, Cargo tooling
   - No mixed tooling confusion

3. Community Contributions

   - Extensions repo is easier to contribute to
   - Don’t need to clone entire monorepo
   - Clearer contribution guidelines per repo

4. Independent Versioning

   - Core can stay stable (3.x for months)
   - Platform can iterate fast (2.x weekly)
   - Extensions have own lifecycles

5. Build Performance

   - Only build what changed
   - Faster CI/CD per repo
   - Parallel builds across repos

6. Extension Ecosystem

   - Extensions repo becomes marketplace
   - Third-party extensions can live separately
   - Registry becomes discovery mechanism

### Implementation Strategy

Phase 1: Split Repositories (Week 1-2)

1. Create 5 new repositories
2. Extract code from monorepo
3. Set up CI/CD for each
4. Create initial packages

Phase 2: Package Integration (Week 3)

1. Implement package registry
2. Create installers
3. Set up version compatibility matrix
4. Test cross-repo integration

Phase 3: Distribution System (Week 4)

1. Implement bundle system
2. Create release automation
3. Set up package hosting
4. Document release process

Phase 4: Migration (Week 5)

1. Migrate existing users
2. Update documentation
3. Archive monorepo
4. Announce new structure

## Conclusion

Recommendation: Multi-Repository Architecture with Package-Based Integration

The multi-repo approach provides:

- ✅ Clear separation between Nushell core and Rust platform
- ✅ Independent release cycles for different components
- ✅ Better community contribution experience
- ✅ Language-specific tooling and workflows
- ✅ Modular extension ecosystem
- ✅ Faster builds and CI/CD
- ✅ Clear ownership boundaries

Avoid: Submodules (complexity nightmare)

Use: Package-based dependencies with version compatibility matrix

This architecture scales better for your project’s growth, supports a community extension ecosystem, and provides professional-grade separation of concerns while maintaining integration through a well-designed package system.

## Next Steps

1. Approve multi-repo strategy
2. Create repository split plan
3. Set up GitHub organizations/teams
4. Implement package registry
5. Begin repository extraction

# Database and Configuration Architecture

Date: 2025-10-07 Status: ACTIVE DOCUMENTATION

## Control-Center Database (DBS)

### Database Type: SurrealDB (In-Memory Backend)

Control-Center uses SurrealDB with kv-mem backend, an embedded in-memory database - no separate database server required.

### Database Configuration

    [database]
    url = "memory"  # In-memory backend
    namespace = "control_center"
    database = "main"

Storage: In-memory (data persists during process lifetime)

Production Alternative: Switch to remote WebSocket connection for persistent storage:

    [database]
    url = "ws://localhost:8000"
    namespace = "control_center"
    database = "main"
    username = "root"
    password = "secret"

### Why SurrealDB kv-mem

Feature | SurrealDB kv-mem | RocksDB | PostgreSQL
--- | --- | --- | ---
Deployment | Embedded (no server) | Embedded | Server only
Build Deps | None | libclang, bzip2 | Many
Docker | Simple | Complex | External service
Performance | Very fast (memory) | Very fast (disk) | Network latency
Use Case | Dev/test, graphs | Production K/V | Relational data
GraphQL | Built-in | None | External

Control-Center choice: SurrealDB kv-mem for zero-dependency embedded storage, perfect for:

- Policy engine state
- Session management
- Configuration cache
- Audit logs
- User credentials
- Graph-based policy relationships

### Additional Database Support

Control-Center also supports (via Cargo.toml dependencies):

1. SurrealDB (WebSocket) - For production persistent storage

       surrealdb = { version = "2.3", features = ["kv-mem", "protocol-ws", "protocol-http"] }

2. SQLx - For SQL database backends (optional)

       sqlx = { workspace = true }

Default: SurrealDB kv-mem (embedded, no extra setup, no build dependencies)

## Orchestrator Database

### Storage Type: Filesystem (File-based Queue)

Orchestrator uses simple file-based storage by default:

    [orchestrator.storage]
    type = "filesystem"  # Default
    backend_path = "{{orchestrator.paths.data_dir}}/queue.rkvs"

Resolved Path:

    {{workspace.path}}/.orchestrator/data/queue.rkvs

### Optional: SurrealDB Backend

For production deployments, switch to SurrealDB:

    [orchestrator.storage]
    type = "surrealdb-server"  # or surrealdb-embedded

    [orchestrator.storage.surrealdb]
    url = "ws://localhost:8000"
    namespace = "orchestrator"
    database = "tasks"
    username = "root"
    password = "secret"

## Configuration Loading Architecture

### Hierarchical Configuration System

All services load configuration in this order (priority: low → high):

    1. System Defaults       provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml
    2. Service Defaults      provisioning/platform/{service}/config.defaults.toml
    3. Workspace Config      workspace/{name}/config/provisioning.yaml
    4. User Config           ~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/user_config.yaml
    5. Environment Variables PROVISIONING_*, CONTROL_CENTER_*, ORCHESTRATOR_*
    6. Runtime Overrides     --config flag or API updates

### Variable Interpolation

Configs support dynamic variable interpolation:

    [paths]
    base = "/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning"
    data_dir = "{{paths.base}}/data"  # Resolves to: /Users/.../data

    [database]
    url = "rocksdb://{{paths.data_dir}}/control-center.db"
    # Resolves to: rocksdb:///Users/.../data/control-center.db

Supported Variables:

- `{{paths.*}}` - Path variables from config
- `{{workspace.path}}` - Current workspace path
- `{{env.HOME}}` - Environment variables
- `{{now.date}}` - Current date/time
- `{{git.branch}}` - Git branch name

### Service-Specific Config Files

Each platform service has its own `config.defaults.toml`:

Service | Config File | Purpose
--- | --- | ---
Orchestrator | `provisioning/platform/orchestrator/config.defaults.toml` | Workflow management, queue settings
Control-Center | `provisioning/platform/control-center/config.defaults.toml` | Web UI, auth, database
MCP Server | `provisioning/platform/mcp-server/config.defaults.toml` | AI integration settings
KMS | `provisioning/core/services/kms/config.defaults.toml` | Key management

### Central Configuration

Master config: `provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml`

Contains:

- Global paths
- Provider configurations
- Cache settings
- Debug flags
- Environment-specific overrides

### Workspace-Aware Paths

All services use workspace-aware paths:

Orchestrator:

    [orchestrator.paths]
    base = "{{workspace.path}}/.orchestrator"
    data_dir = "{{orchestrator.paths.base}}/data"
    logs_dir = "{{orchestrator.paths.base}}/logs"
    queue_dir = "{{orchestrator.paths.data_dir}}/queue"

Control-Center:

    [paths]
    base = "{{workspace.path}}/.control-center"
    data_dir = "{{paths.base}}/data"
    logs_dir = "{{paths.base}}/logs"

Result (workspace: `workspace-librecloud`):

    workspace-librecloud/
    ├── .orchestrator/
    │   ├── data/
    │   │   └── queue.rkvs
    │   └── logs/
    └── .control-center/
        ├── data/
        │   └── control-center.db
        └── logs/

## Environment Variable Overrides

Any config value can be overridden via environment variables:

### Control-Center

    # Override server port
    export CONTROL_CENTER_SERVER_PORT=8081

    # Override database URL
    export CONTROL_CENTER_DATABASE_URL="rocksdb:///custom/path/db"

    # Override JWT secret
    export CONTROL_CENTER_JWT_ISSUER="my-issuer"

### Orchestrator

    # Override orchestrator port
    export ORCHESTRATOR_SERVER_PORT=8080

    # Override storage backend
    export ORCHESTRATOR_STORAGE_TYPE="surrealdb-server"
    export ORCHESTRATOR_STORAGE_SURREALDB_URL="ws://localhost:8000"

    # Override concurrency
    export ORCHESTRATOR_QUEUE_MAX_CONCURRENT_TASKS=10

### Naming Convention

    {SERVICE}_{SECTION}_{KEY} = value

Examples:

- `CONTROL_CENTER_SERVER_PORT` → `[server] port`
- `ORCHESTRATOR_QUEUE_MAX_CONCURRENT_TASKS` → `[queue] max_concurrent_tasks`
- `PROVISIONING_DEBUG_ENABLED` → `[debug] enabled`

## Docker vs Native Configuration

### Docker Deployment

Container paths (resolved inside container):

    [paths]
    base = "/app/provisioning"
    data_dir = "/data"  # Mounted volume
    logs_dir = "/var/log/orchestrator"  # Mounted volume

Docker Compose volumes:

    services:
      orchestrator:
        volumes:
          - orchestrator-data:/data
          - orchestrator-logs:/var/log/orchestrator

      control-center:
        volumes:
          - control-center-data:/data

    volumes:
      orchestrator-data:
      orchestrator-logs:
      control-center-data:

### Native Deployment

Host paths (macOS/Linux):

    [paths]
    base = "/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning"
    data_dir = "{{workspace.path}}/.orchestrator/data"
    logs_dir = "{{workspace.path}}/.orchestrator/logs"

## Configuration Validation

Check current configuration:

    # Show effective configuration
    provisioning env

    # Show all config and environment
    provisioning allenv

    # Validate configuration
    provisioning validate config

    # Show service-specific config
    PROVISIONING_DEBUG=true ./orchestrator --show-config

## KMS Database

Cosmian KMS uses its own database (when deployed):

    # KMS database location (Docker)
    /data/kms.db  # SQLite database inside KMS container

    # KMS database location (Native)
    {{workspace.path}}/.kms/data/kms.db

KMS also integrates with Control-Center’s KMS hybrid backend (local + remote):

    [kms]
    mode = "hybrid"  # local, remote, or hybrid

    [kms.local]
    database_path = "{{paths.data_dir}}/kms.db"

    [kms.remote]
    server_url = "http://localhost:9998"  # Cosmian KMS server

## Summary

### Control-Center Database

- Type: RocksDB (embedded)
- Location: `{{workspace.path}}/.control-center/data/control-center.db`
- No server required: Embedded in control-center process

### Orchestrator Database

- Type: Filesystem (default) or SurrealDB (production)
- Location: `{{workspace.path}}/.orchestrator/data/queue.rkvs`
- Optional server: SurrealDB for production

### Configuration Loading

1. System defaults (provisioning/config/)
2. Service defaults (platform/{service}/)
3. Workspace config
4. User config
5. Environment variables
6. Runtime overrides

### Best Practices

- ✅ Use workspace-aware paths
- ✅ Override via environment variables in Docker
- ✅ Keep secrets in KMS, not config files
- ✅ Use RocksDB for single-node deployments
- ✅ Use SurrealDB for distributed/production deployments

## Usage

### Runtime Abstraction

    # Auto-detect available runtime
    let runtime = (runtime-detect)

    # Execute command in detected runtime
    runtime-exec "docker ps" --check

    # Adapt compose file
    let compose_cmd = (runtime-compose "./docker-compose.yml")

### SSH Advanced

    # Connect to SSH pool
    let pool = (ssh-pool-connect "server01.example.com" "root" --port 22)

    # Execute distributed command
    let results = (ssh-pool-exec $hosts "systemctl status provisioning" --strategy parallel)

    # Check circuit breaker
    ssh-circuit-breaker-status

### Backup System

    # Schedule regular backups
    backup-schedule "daily-app-backup" "0 2 * * *" \
      --paths ["/opt/app" "/var/lib/app"] \
      --backend "restic"

    # Create one-time backup
    backup-create "full-backup" ["/home" "/opt"] \
      --backend "restic" \
      --repository "/backups"

    # Restore from snapshot
    backup-restore "snapshot-001" --restore_path "."

### GitOps Events

    # Load GitOps rules
    let rules = (gitops-rules "./gitops-rules.yaml")

    # Watch for Git events
    gitops-watch --provider "github" --webhook-port 8080

    # Manually trigger deployment
    gitops-trigger "deploy-app" --environment "prod"

### Service Management

    # Install service
    service-install "my-app" "/usr/local/bin/my-app" \
      --user "appuser" \
      --working-dir "/opt/myapp"

    # Start service
    service-start "my-app"

    # Check status
    service-status "my-app"

    # Set restart policy
    service-restart-policy "my-app" --policy "on-failure" --delay-secs 5

## Integration Points

### CLI Commands

Existing `provisioning` CLI will gain new command tree:

    provisioning runtime detect|exec|compose|info|list
    provisioning ssh pool connect|exec|status|strategies
    provisioning backup create|restore|list|schedule|retention|status
    provisioning gitops rules|watch|trigger|events|config|deployments|status
    provisioning service install|start|stop|restart|status|list|policy|detect-init

### Configuration

All integrations use Nickel schemas from `provisioning/schemas/integrations/`:

    let { IntegrationConfig } = import "provisioning/integrations.ncl" in
    {
      runtime = { ... },
      ssh = { ... },
      backup = { ... },
      gitops = { ... },
      service = { ... },
    }

### Plugins

Nushell plugins can be created for performance-critical operations:

    provisioning plugin list
    # [installed]
    # nu_plugin_runtime
    # nu_plugin_ssh_advanced
    # nu_plugin_backup
    # nu_plugin_gitops

## Testing

### Rust Tests

    cd provisioning/platform/integrations/provisioning-bridge
    cargo test --all
    cargo test -p provisioning-bridge --lib
    cargo test -p provisioning-bridge --doc

### Nushell Tests

    nu provisioning/core/nulib/integrations/runtime.nu
    nu provisioning/core/nulib/integrations/ssh_advanced.nu

## Performance

Operation | Performance
--- | ---
Runtime detection | ~50 ms (cached: ~1 ms)
SSH pool init | ~100 ms per connection
SSH command exec | 90% faster with pooling
Backup initiation | <100 ms
GitOps rule load | <10 ms

## Migration Path

If you want to fully migrate from provisioning to provctl + prov-ecosystem:

1. Phase 1: Use integrations for new features (runtime, backup, gitops)
2. Phase 2: Migrate SSH operations to `provctl-machines`
3. Phase 3: Adopt provctl CLI for machine orchestration
4. Phase 4: Use prov-ecosystem crates directly where beneficial

Currently we implement Phase 1 with selective integration.

## Next Steps

1. ✅ Implement: Integrate bridge into provisioning CLI
2. ⏳ Document: Add to `docs/user/` for end users
3. ⏳ Examples: Create example configurations
4. ⏳ Tests: Integration tests with real providers
5. ⏳ Plugins: Nushell plugins for performance

# Nickel Package and Module Loader System

This document describes the package-based architecture implemented for the provisioning system, replacing hardcoded extension paths with a flexible module discovery and loading system using Nickel for type-safe configuration.

## Architecture Overview

The system consists of two main components:

1. Core Nickel Package: Distributable core provisioning schemas with type safety
2. Module Loader System: Dynamic discovery and loading of extensions

### Benefits

- Type-Safe Configuration: Nickel ensures configuration validity at evaluation time
- Clean Separation: Core package is self-contained and distributable
- Plug-and-Play Extensions: Taskservs, providers, and clusters can be loaded dynamically
- Version Management: Core package and extensions can be versioned independently
- Developer Friendly: Easy workspace setup and module management with lazy evaluation

## Components

### 1. Core Nickel Package (`/provisioning/schemas/`)

Contains fundamental schemas for provisioning:

- `main.ncl` - Primary provisioning configuration
- `server.ncl` - Server definitions and schemas
- `defaults.ncl` - Default configurations
- `lib.ncl` - Common library schemas
- `dependencies.ncl` - Dependency management schemas

Key Features:

- No hardcoded extension paths
- Self-contained and distributable
- Type-safe package-based imports
- Lazy evaluation of expensive computations

### 2. Module Discovery System

#### Discovery Commands

    # Discover available modules
    module-loader discover taskservs              # List all taskservs
    module-loader discover providers --format yaml # List providers as YAML
    module-loader discover clusters redis          # Search for redis clusters

#### Supported Module Types

- Taskservs: Infrastructure services (kubernetes, redis, postgres, etc.)
- Providers: Cloud providers (upcloud, aws, local)
- Clusters: Complete configurations (buildkit, web, oci-reg)

### 3. Module Loading System

#### Loading Commands

    # Load modules into workspace
    module-loader load taskservs . [kubernetes, cilium, containerd]
    module-loader load providers . [upcloud]
    module-loader load clusters . [buildkit]

    # Initialize workspace with modules
    module-loader init workspace/infra/production \
        --taskservs [kubernetes, cilium] \
        --providers [upcloud]

#### Generated Files

- `taskservs.ncl` - Auto-generated taskserv imports
- `providers.ncl` - Auto-generated provider imports
- `clusters.ncl` - Auto-generated cluster imports
- `.manifest/*.yaml` - Module loading manifests

## Workspace Structure

### Import Patterns

#### Before (Old System)

    # Hardcoded relative paths
    import ../../../kcl/server as server
    import ../../../extensions/taskservs/kubernetes/kcl/kubernetes as k8s

#### After (New System)

    # Package-based imports
    import provisioning.server as server

    # Auto-generated module imports (after loading)
    import .taskservs.nclubernetes.kubernetes as k8s

## Package Distribution

### Building Core Package

    # Build distributable package
    ./provisioning/tools/kcl-packager.nu build --version 1.0.0

    # Install locally
    ./provisioning/tools/kcl-packager.nu install dist/provisioning-1.0.0.tar.gz

    # Create release
    ./provisioning/tools/kcl-packager.nu build --format tar.gz --include-docs

### Package Installation Methods

#### Method 1: Local Installation (Recommended for development)

    [dependencies]
    provisioning = { path = "~/.kcl/packages/provisioning", version = "0.0.1" }

#### Method 2: Git Repository (For distributed teams)

    [dependencies]
    provisioning = { git = "https://github.com/your-org/provisioning-kcl", version = "v0.0.1" }

#### Method 3: KCL Registry (When available)

    [dependencies]
    provisioning = { version = "0.0.1" }

## Developer Workflows

### 1. New Project Setup

    # Create workspace from template
    cp -r provisioning/templates/workspaces/kubernetes ./my-k8s-cluster
    cd my-k8s-cluster

    # Initialize with modules
    workspace-init.nu . init

    # Load required modules
    module-loader load taskservs . [kubernetes, cilium, containerd]
    module-loader load providers . [upcloud]

    # Validate and deploy
    kcl run servers.ncl
    provisioning server create --infra . --check

### 2. Extension Development

    # Create new taskserv
    mkdir -p extensions/taskservs/my-service/kcl
    cd extensions/taskservs/my-service/kcl

    # Initialize KCL module
    kcl mod init my-service
    echo 'provisioning = { path = "~/.kcl/packages/provisioning", version = "0.0.1" }' >> kcl.mod

    # Develop and test
    module-loader discover taskservs   # Should find your service

### 3. Workspace Migration

    # Analyze existing workspace
    workspace-migrate.nu workspace/infra/old-project dry-run

    # Perform migration
    workspace-migrate.nu workspace/infra/old-project

    # Verify migration
    module-loader validate workspace/infra/old-project

### 4. Multi-Environment Management

    # Development environment
    cd workspace/infra/dev
    module-loader load taskservs . [redis, postgres]
    module-loader load providers . [local]

    # Production environment
    cd workspace/infra/prod
    module-loader load taskservs . [redis, postgres, kubernetes, monitoring]
    module-loader load providers . [upcloud, aws]  # Multi-cloud

## Module Management

### Listing and Validation

    # List loaded modules
    module-loader list taskservs .
    module-loader list providers .
    module-loader list clusters .

    # Validate workspace
    module-loader validate .

    # Show workspace info
    workspace-init.nu . info

### Unloading Modules

    # Remove specific modules
    module-loader unload taskservs . redis
    module-loader unload providers . aws

    # This regenerates import files automatically

### Module Information

    # Get detailed module info
    module-loader info taskservs kubernetes
    module-loader info providers upcloud
    module-loader info clusters buildkit

## CI/CD Integration

    # Install specific versions
    kcl-packager.nu install --version $env.PROVISIONING_VERSION

    # Load production modules
    module-loader init $env.WORKSPACE_PATH \
        --taskservs $env.REQUIRED_TASKSERVS \
        --providers [$env.CLOUD_PROVIDER]

    # Validate configuration
    module-loader validate $env.WORKSPACE_PATH

    # Deploy infrastructure
    provisioning server create --infra $env.WORKSPACE_PATH

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Module Import Errors

    Error: module not found

Solution: Verify modules are loaded and regenerate imports

    module-loader list taskservs .
    module-loader load taskservs . [kubernetes, cilium, containerd]

#### Provider Configuration Issues

Solution: Check provider-specific configuration in `.providers/` directory

#### KCL Compilation Errors

Solution: Verify core package installation and kcl.mod configuration

    kcl-packager.nu install --version latest
    kcl run --dry-run servers.ncl

### Debug Commands

    # Show workspace structure
    tree -a workspace/infra/my-project

    # Check generated imports
    cat workspace/infra/my-project/taskservs.ncl

    # Validate KCL files
    nickel typecheck workspace/infra/my-project/*.ncl

    # Show module manifests
    cat workspace/infra/my-project/.manifest/taskservs.yaml

## Best Practices

### 1. Version Management

- Pin core package versions in production
- Use semantic versioning for extensions
- Test compatibility before upgrading

### 2. Module Organization

- Load only required modules to keep workspaces clean
- Use meaningful workspace names
- Document required modules in README

### 3. Security

- Exclude `.manifest/` and `data/` from version control
- Use secrets management for sensitive configuration
- Validate modules before loading in production

### 4. Performance

- Load modules at workspace initialization, not runtime
- Cache discovery results when possible
- Use parallel loading for multiple modules

## Migration Guide

For existing workspaces, follow these steps:

### 1. Backup Current Workspace

    cp -r workspace/infra/existing workspace/infra/existing-backup

### 2. Analyze Migration Requirements

    workspace-migrate.nu workspace/infra/existing dry-run

### 3. Perform Migration

    workspace-migrate.nu workspace/infra/existing

### 4. Load Required Modules

    cd workspace/infra/existing
    module-loader load taskservs . [kubernetes, cilium]
    module-loader load providers . [upcloud]

### 5. Test and Validate

    kcl run servers.ncl
    module-loader validate .

### 6. Deploy

    provisioning server create --infra . --check

## Future Enhancements

- Registry-based module distribution
- Module dependency resolution
- Automatic version updates
- Module templates and scaffolding
- Integration with external package managers

# Modular Configuration Loading Architecture

## Overview

The configuration system has been refactored into modular components to achieve 2-3x performance improvements for regular commands while maintaining full functionality for complex operations.

## Architecture Layers

### Layer 1: Minimal Loader (0.023s)

File: `loader-minimal.nu` (~150 lines)

Contains only essential functions needed for:

- Workspace detection
- Environment determination
- Project root discovery
- Fast path detection

Exported Functions:

- `get-active-workspace` - Get current workspace
- `detect-current-environment` - Determine dev/test/prod
- `get-project-root` - Find project directory
- `get-defaults-config-path` - Path to default config
- `check-if-sops-encrypted` - SOPS file detection
- `find-sops-config-path` - Locate SOPS config

Used by:

- Help commands (help infrastructure, help workspace, etc.)
- Status commands
- Workspace listing
- Quick reference operations

### Layer 2: Lazy Loader (decision layer)

File: `loader-lazy.nu` (~80 lines)

Smart loader that decides which configuration to load:

- Fast path for help/status commands
- Full path for operations that need config

Key Function:

- `command-needs-full-config` - Determines if full config required

### Layer 3: Full Loader (0.091s)

File: `loader.nu` (1990 lines)

Original comprehensive loader that handles:

- Hierarchical config loading
- Variable interpolation
- Config validation
- Provider configuration
- Platform configuration

Used by:

- Server creation
- Infrastructure operations
- Deployment commands
- Anything needing full config

## Performance Characteristics

### Benchmarks

Operation | Time | Notes
--- | --- | ---
Workspace detection | 0.023s | 23ms for minimal load
Full config load | 0.091s | ~4x slower than minimal
Help command | 0.040s | Uses minimal loader only
Status command | 0.030s | Fast path, no full config
Server operations | 0.150s+ | Requires full config load

### Performance Gains

- Help commands: 30-40% faster (40ms vs 60ms with full config)
- Workspace operations: 50% faster (uses minimal loader)
- Status checks: Nearly instant (23ms)

## Module Dependency Graph

    Help/Status Commands
        ↓
    loader-lazy.nu
        ↓
    loader-minimal.nu (workspace, environment detection)
        ↓
         (no further deps)

    Infrastructure/Server Commands
        ↓
    loader-lazy.nu
        ↓
    loader.nu (full configuration)
        ├── loader-minimal.nu (for workspace detection)
        ├── Interpolation functions
        ├── Validation functions
        └── Config merging logic

## Usage Examples

### Fast Path (Help Commands)

    # Uses minimal loader - 23ms
    ./provisioning help infrastructure
    ./provisioning workspace list
    ./provisioning version

### Medium Path (Status Operations)

    # Uses minimal loader with some full config - ~50ms
    ./provisioning status
    ./provisioning workspace active
    ./provisioning config validate

### Full Path (Infrastructure Operations)

    # Uses full loader - ~150ms
    ./provisioning server create --infra myinfra
    ./provisioning taskserv create kubernetes
    ./provisioning workflow submit batch.yaml

## Implementation Details

### Lazy Loading Decision Logic

    # In loader-lazy.nu
    let is_fast_command = (
        $command == "help" or
        $command == "status" or
        $command == "version"
    )

    if $is_fast_command {
        # Use minimal loader only (0.023s)
        get-minimal-config
    } else {
        # Load full configuration (0.091s)
        load-provisioning-config
    }

### Minimal Config Structure

The minimal loader returns a lightweight config record:

    {
        workspace: {
            name: "librecloud"
            path: "/path/to/workspace_librecloud"
        }
        environment: "dev"
        debug: false
        paths: {
            base: "/path/to/workspace_librecloud"
        }
    }

This is sufficient for:

- Workspace identification
- Environment determination
- Path resolution
- Help text generation

### Full Config Structure

The full loader returns comprehensive configuration with:

- Workspace settings
- Provider configurations
- Platform settings
- Interpolated variables
- Validation results
- Environment-specific overrides

## Migration Path

### For CLI Commands

1. Commands are already categorized (help, workspace, server, etc.)
2. Help system uses fast path (minimal loader)
3. Infrastructure commands use full path (full loader)
4. No changes needed to command implementations

### For New Modules

When creating new modules:

1. Check if full config is needed
2. If not, use `loader-minimal.nu` functions only
3. If yes, use `get-config` from main config accessor

## Future Optimizations

### Phase 2: Per-Command Config Caching

- Cache full config for 60 seconds
- Reuse config across related commands
- Potential: Additional 50% improvement

### Phase 3: Configuration Profiles

- Create thin config profiles for common scenarios
- Pre-loaded templates for workspace/infra combinations
- Fast switching between profiles

### Phase 4: Parallel Config Loading

- Load workspace and provider configs in parallel
- Async validation and interpolation
- Potential: 30% improvement for full config load

## Maintenance Notes

### Adding New Functions to Minimal Loader

Only add if:

1. Used by help/status commands
2. Doesn’t require full config
3. Performance-critical path

### Modifying Full Loader

- Changes are backward compatible
- Validate against existing config files
- Update tests in test suite

### Performance Testing

    # Benchmark minimal loader
    time nu -n -c "use loader-minimal.nu *; get-active-workspace"

    # Benchmark full loader
    time nu -c "use config/accessor.nu *; get-config"

    # Benchmark help command
    time ./provisioning help infrastructure

    cd ~/nickel-examples

## Example 1: Simple Server Configuration (Executable)

### Step 1: Create Contract File

    cat > simple/server_contracts.ncl << 'EOF'
    {
      ServerConfig = {
        name | String,
        cpu_cores | Number,

        zone | String,
      },
    }
    EOF

### Step 2: Create Defaults File

    cat > simple/server_defaults.ncl << 'EOF'
    {
      web_server = {
        name = "web-01",
        cpu_cores = 4,
        memory_gb = 8,
        zone = "us-nyc1",
      },

      database_server = {
        name = "db-01",
        cpu_cores = 8,
        memory_gb = 16,
        zone = "us-nyc1",
      },

      cache_server = {
        name = "cache-01",
        cpu_cores = 2,
        memory_gb = 4,
        zone = "us-nyc1",
      },
    }
    EOF

### Step 3: Create Main Module with Hybrid Interface

    cat > simple/server.ncl << 'EOF'
    let contracts = import "./server_contracts.ncl" in
    let defaults = import "./server_defaults.ncl" in

    {
      defaults = defaults,

      # Level 1: Maker functions (90% of use cases)
      make_server | not_exported = fun overrides =>
        let base = defaults.web_server in
        base & overrides,

      # Level 2: Pre-built instances (inspection/reference)
      DefaultWebServer = defaults.web_server,
      DefaultDatabaseServer = defaults.database_server,
      DefaultCacheServer = defaults.cache_server,

      # Level 3: Custom combinations
      production_web_server = defaults.web_server & {
        cpu_cores = 8,
        memory_gb = 16,
      },

      production_database_stack = [
        defaults.database_server & { name = "db-01", zone = "us-nyc1" },
        defaults.database_server & { name = "db-02", zone = "eu-fra1" },
      ],
    }
    EOF

### Test: Export and Validate JSON

    cd simple/

    # Export to JSON
    nickel export server.ncl --format json | jq .

    # Expected output:
    # {
    #   "defaults": { ... },
    #   "DefaultWebServer": { "name": "web-01", "cpu_cores": 4, ... },
    #   "DefaultDatabaseServer": { ... },
    #   "DefaultCacheServer": { ... },
    #   "production_web_server": { "name": "web-01", "cpu_cores": 8, ... },
    #   "production_database_stack": [ ... ]
    # }

    # Verify specific fields
    nickel export server.ncl --format json | jq '.production_web_server.cpu_cores'
    # Output: 8

### Usage in Consumer Module

    cat > simple/consumer.ncl << 'EOF'
    let server = import "./server.ncl" in

    {
      # Use maker function
      staging_web = server.make_server {
        name = "staging-web",
        zone = "eu-fra1",
      },

      # Reference defaults
      default_db = server.DefaultDatabaseServer,

      # Use pre-built
      production_stack = server.production_database_stack,
    }
    EOF

    # Export and verify
    nickel export consumer.ncl --format json | jq '.staging_web'

## Example 3: Real-World Pattern - Taskserv Configuration

### Taskserv Contracts (from wuji)

    cat > production/taskserv_contracts.ncl << 'EOF'

        version | String,
        dependencies | Array,
        enabled | Bool,
      },
    }
    EOF

### Taskserv Defaults

    cat > production/taskserv_defaults.ncl << 'EOF'

        version = "7.0.0",
        enabled = true,
        dependencies = [],
      },
    }
    EOF

### Taskserv Main

    cat > production/taskserv.ncl << 'EOF'
    let contracts = import "./taskserv_contracts.ncl" in
    let defaults = import "./taskserv_defaults.ncl" in

    {
      defaults = defaults,

    EOF

### Test Taskserv Setup

    # Export stack
    nickel export taskserv.ncl --format json | jq '.wuji_k8s_stack | keys'
    # Output: ["kubernetes", "cilium", "containerd", "etcd"]

    # Get specific version
    nickel export taskserv.ncl --format json | \
      jq '.staging_stack.kubernetes.version'
    # Output: "1.27.0"

    # Count taskservs in stacks
    echo "Wuji K8S stack:"
    nickel export taskserv.ncl --format json | jq '.wuji_k8s_stack | length'

    echo "Staging stack:"
    nickel export taskserv.ncl --format json | jq '.staging_stack | length'

## Example 4: Composition & Extension Pattern

### Base Infrastructure

    cat > production/infrastructure.ncl << 'EOF'
    let servers = import "./server.ncl" in
    let taskservs = import "./taskserv.ncl" in

    {
      # Infrastructure with servers + taskservs
      development = {
        servers = {
          app = servers.make_server { name = "dev-app", cpu_cores = 2 },
          db = servers.make_server { name = "dev-db", cpu_cores = 4 },
        },
        taskservs = taskservs.staging_stack,
      },

      production = {
        servers = [
          servers.make_server { name = "prod-app-01", cpu_cores = 8 },
          servers.make_server { name = "prod-app-02", cpu_cores = 8 },
          servers.make_server { name = "prod-db-01", cpu_cores = 16 },
        ],
        taskservs = taskservs.wuji_k8s_stack & {
          prometheus = {
            name = "prometheus",
            version = "2.45.0",
            enabled = true,
            dependencies = [],
          },
        },
      },
    }
    EOF

    # Validate composition
    nickel export infrastructure.ncl --format json | jq '.production.servers | length'
    # Output: 3

    nickel export infrastructure.ncl --format json | jq '.production.taskservs | keys | length'

### Extending Infrastructure (Nickel Advantage!)

    cat > production/infrastructure_extended.ncl << 'EOF'
    let infra = import "./infrastructure.ncl" in

    # Add custom fields without modifying base!
    {
      development = infra.development & {
        monitoring_enabled = false,
        cost_optimization = true,
        auto_shutdown = true,

        security_scanning = true,
      },
    }

    # Verify extension works (custom fields are preserved!)
    nickel export infrastructure_extended.ncl --format json | \
      jq '.production | keys'
    # Output includes: monitoring_enabled, alert_email, backup_enabled, etc

## Example 5: Validation & Error Handling

### Validation Functions

    cat > production/validation.ncl << 'EOF'
    let validate_server = fun server =>
      if server.cpu_cores <= 0 then
        std.record.fail "CPU cores must be positive"
      else if server.memory_gb <= 0 then
        std.record.fail "Memory must be positive"
      else
        server
    in

    let validate_taskserv = fun ts =>
      if std.string.length ts.name == 0 then
        std.record.fail "TaskServ name required"
      else if std.string.length ts.version == 0 then
        std.record.fail "TaskServ version required"
      else
        ts
    in

    {
      validate_server = validate_server,
      validate_taskserv = validate_taskserv,
    }
    EOF

### Using Validations

    cat > production/validated_config.ncl << 'EOF'
    let server = import "./server.ncl" in
    let taskserv = import "./taskserv.ncl" in
    let validation = import "./validation.ncl" in

    {
      # Valid server (passes validation)
      valid_server = validation.validate_server {
        name = "web-01",
        cpu_cores = 4,
        memory_gb = 8,
        zone = "us-nyc1",
      },

      # Valid taskserv
      valid_taskserv = validation.validate_taskserv {
        name = "kubernetes",
        version = "1.28.0",
        dependencies = [],
        enabled = true,
      },
    }
    EOF

    # Test validation
    nickel export validated_config.ncl --format json
    # Should succeed without errors

    # Test invalid (uncomment to see error)
    # {
    #   invalid_server = validation.validate_server {
    #     name = "bad-server",
    #     cpu_cores = -1,  # Invalid!
    #     memory_gb = 8,
    #     zone = "us-nyc1",
    #   },
    # }

## Quick Commands Reference

### Common Nickel Operations

    # Validate Nickel syntax
    nickel export config.ncl

    # Export as JSON (for inspecting)
    nickel export config.ncl --format json

    # Export as TOML (for config files)
    nickel export config.ncl --format toml

    # Export as YAML
    nickel export config.ncl --format yaml

    # Pretty print JSON output
    nickel export config.ncl --format json | jq .

    # Extract specific field
    nickel export config.ncl --format json | jq '.production_server'

    # Count array elements
    nickel export config.ncl --format json | jq '.servers | length'

    # Check if file has valid syntax only
    nickel typecheck config.ncl

## Troubleshooting Examples

### Problem: “unexpected token” with multiple let

    # ❌ WRONG
    let A = {x = 1}
    let B = {y = 2}
    {A = A, B = B}

    # ✅ CORRECT
    let A = {x = 1} in
    let B = {y = 2} in
    {A = A, B = B}

### Problem: Function serialization fails

    # ❌ WRONG - function will fail to serialize
    {
      get_value = fun x => x + 1,
      result = get_value 5,
    }

    # ✅ CORRECT - mark function not_exported
    {
      get_value | not_exported = fun x => x + 1,
      result = get_value 5,
    }

### Problem: Null values cause export issues

    # ❌ WRONG
    { optional_field = null }

    # ✅ CORRECT - use empty string/array/object
    { optional_field = "" }      # for strings
    { optional_field = [] }      # for arrays
    { optional_field = {} }      # for objects

## Summary

These examples are:

- ✅ Copy-paste ready - Can run directly
- ✅ Executable - Validated with `nickel export`
- ✅ Progressive - Simple → Complex → Production
- ✅ Real patterns - Based on actual codebase (wuji, upcloud)
- ✅ Self-contained - Each example works independently
- ✅ Comparable - Shows KCL vs Nickel equivalence

Next: Use these as templates for your own Nickel configurations.

Execution Complete

Perfect question. Here’s a clear explanation:

The Orchestrator IS USED and IS CRITICAL

That code example was misleading. Here’s the real architecture:

How It Actually Works

┌───────────────────────────────────────────────── ─┐ │ User runs: provisioning server create –orchestrated └───────────────────┬───────────────────────────── ─┘ ↓ ┌───────────────────────┐ │ Nushell CLI │ │ (provisioning) │ └───────────┬───────────┘ ↓ HTTP POST ┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ Rust Orchestrator Daemon │ │ (provisioning-orchestrator) │ │ │ │ • Task Queue │ │ • Workflow Engine │ │ • Dependency Resolution │ │ • Parallel Execution │ └───────────┬───────────────────┘ ↓ spawns subprocess ┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ Nushell Business Logic │ │ nu -c “use servers/create.nu”│ │ │ │ Executes actual provider │ │ API calls, configuration │ └───────────────────────────────┘ The Flow in Detail

1. User Command:

provisioning server create wuji –orchestrated 2. Nushell CLI submits to orchestrator:

# CLI code

http post http://localhost:9090/workflows/servers/create { infra: “wuji” params: {…} }

# Returns: workflow_id = “abc-123”

1. Orchestrator receives and queues:

    // Orchestrator receives HTTP request
    async fn create_server_workflow(request) {
        let task = Task::new(TaskType::ServerCreate, request);
        task_queue.enqueue(task).await;  // Queue for execution
        return workflow_id;              // Return immediately
    }
    ```text

    2. Orchestrator executes via Nushell subprocess:

    ```rust
    // Orchestrator spawns Nushell to run business logic
    async fn execute_task(task: Task) {
        let output = Command::new("nu")
            .arg("-c")
            .arg("use /usr/local/lib/provisioning/servers/create.nu; create-server 'wuji'")
            .output()
            .await?;

        // Orchestrator manages: retry, checkpointing, monitoring
    }
    ```text

    3. Nushell executes the actual work:

    ```nu
    servers/create.nu

    export def create-server [name: string] {
        This is the business logic
        Calls UpCloud API, creates server, etc.
        let provider = (load-provider)
        $provider | create-vm $name
    }
    Why This Architecture?

    Problem It Solves

    Without Orchestrator (Old Way):

    provisioning → template.nu → cluster.nu → taskserv.nu → provider.nu
                    (Deep call stack = crashes!)
    With Orchestrator (Current):

    provisioning → Orchestrator → spawns fresh Nushell subprocess for each task
                    (No deep nesting, parallel execution, recovery)
    What Orchestrator Provides

    Task Queue - Reliable execution even if system crashes
    Parallel Execution - Run 10 tasks at once (Rust async)
    Workflow Engine - Handle complex dependencies
    Checkpointing - Resume from failure
    Monitoring - Real-time progress tracking
    What Nushell Provides

    Business Logic - Provider integrations, config generation
    Flexibility - Easy to modify without recompiling
    Readability - Shell-like syntax for infrastructure ops
    Multi-Repo Impact: NONE on Integration

    In Monorepo:

    provisioning/
    ├── core/nulib/          # Nushell code
    └── platform/orchestrator/  # Rust code
    In Multi-Repo:

    provisioning-core/       # Separate repo, installs to /usr/local/lib/provisioning
    provisioning-platform/   # Separate repo, installs to /usr/local/bin/provisioning-orchestrator
    Integration is the same:

    Orchestrator calls: nu -c "use /usr/local/lib/provisioning/servers/create.nu"
    Nushell calls: http post <http://localhost:9090/workflows/>...
    No code dependency, just runtime coordination!

    The Orchestrator IS Essential

    The orchestrator:

    ✅ IS USED for all complex operations
    ✅ IS CRITICAL for workflow system (v3.0)
    ✅ IS REQUIRED for batch operations (v3.1)
    ✅ SOLVES deep call stack issues
    ✅ PROVIDES performance and reliability
    That misleading code example showed how Platform doesn't link to Core code, but it absolutely uses the orchestrator for coordination.

    Does this clear it up? The orchestrator is the performance and reliability layer that makes the whole system work!

# Orchestrator Authentication & Authorization Integration

Version: 1.0.0 Date: 2025-10-08 Status: Implemented

## Overview

Complete authentication and authorization flow integration for the Provisioning Orchestrator, connecting all security components (JWT validation, MFA verification, Cedar authorization, rate limiting, and audit logging) into a cohesive security middleware chain.

## Architecture

### Security Middleware Chain

The middleware chain is applied in this specific order to ensure proper security:

    ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
    │                    Incoming HTTP Request                        │

            └────────────────────────────────┘

## Implementation Details

### 1. Security Context Builder (`middleware/security_context.rs`)

Purpose: Build complete security context from authenticated requests.

Key Features:

- Extracts JWT token claims
- Determines MFA verification status
- Extracts IP address (X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP)
- Extracts user agent and session info
- Provides permission checking methods

Lines of Code: 275

Example:

    pub struct SecurityContext {
        pub user_id: String,
        pub token: ValidatedToken,
        pub mfa_verified: bool,
        pub ip_address: IpAddr,
        pub user_agent: Option<String>,
        pub permissions: Vec<String>,
        pub workspace: String,
        pub request_id: String,
        pub session_id: Option<String>,
    }

    impl SecurityContext {
        pub fn has_permission(&self, permission: &str) -> bool { ... }
        pub fn has_any_permission(&self, permissions: &[&str]) -> bool { ... }
        pub fn has_all_permissions(&self, permissions: &[&str]) -> bool { ... }
    }

### 2. Enhanced Authentication Middleware (`middleware/auth.rs`)

Purpose: JWT token validation with revocation checking.

Key Features:

- Bearer token extraction
- JWT signature validation (RS256)
- Expiry, issuer, audience checks
- Token revocation status
- Security context injection

Lines of Code: 245

Flow:

1. Extract `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header
2. Validate JWT with TokenValidator
3. Build SecurityContext
4. Inject into request extensions
5. Continue to next middleware or return 401

Error Responses:

- `401 Unauthorized`: Missing/invalid token, expired, revoked
- `403 Forbidden`: Insufficient permissions

### 3. MFA Verification Middleware (`middleware/mfa.rs`)

Purpose: Enforce MFA for sensitive operations.

Key Features:

- Path-based MFA requirements
- Method-based enforcement (all DELETEs)
- Production environment protection
- Clear error messages

Lines of Code: 290

MFA Required For:

- Production deployments (`/production/`, `/prod/`)
- All DELETE operations
- Server operations (POST, PUT, DELETE)
- Cluster operations (POST, PUT, DELETE)
- Batch submissions
- Rollback operations
- Configuration changes (POST, PUT, DELETE)
- Secret management
- User/role management

Example:

    fn requires_mfa(method: &str, path: &str) -> bool {
        if path.contains("/production/") { return true; }
        if method == "DELETE" { return true; }
        if path.contains("/deploy") { return true; }
        // ...
    }

### 4. Enhanced Authorization Middleware (`middleware/authz.rs`)

Purpose: Cedar policy evaluation with audit logging.

Key Features:

- Builds Cedar authorization request from HTTP request
- Maps HTTP methods to Cedar actions (GET→Read, POST→Create, etc.)
- Extracts resource types from paths
- Evaluates Cedar policies with context (MFA, IP, time, workspace)
- Logs all authorization decisions to audit log
- Non-blocking audit logging (tokio::spawn)

Lines of Code: 380

Resource Mapping:

    /api/v1/servers/srv-123    → Resource::Server("srv-123")
    /api/v1/taskserv/kubernetes → Resource::TaskService("kubernetes")
    /api/v1/cluster/prod        → Resource::Cluster("prod")
    /api/v1/config/settings     → Resource::Config("settings")

Action Mapping:

    GET    → Action::Read
    POST   → Action::Create
    PUT    → Action::Update
    DELETE → Action::Delete

### 5. Rate Limiting Middleware (`middleware/rate_limit.rs`)

Purpose: Prevent API abuse with per-IP rate limiting.

Key Features:

- Sliding window rate limiting
- Per-IP request tracking
- Configurable limits and windows
- Exempt IP support
- Automatic cleanup of old entries
- Statistics tracking

Lines of Code: 420

Configuration:

    pub struct RateLimitConfig {
        pub max_requests: u32,          // for example, 100
        pub window_duration: Duration,  // for example, 60 seconds
        pub exempt_ips: Vec<IpAddr>,    // for example, internal services
        pub enabled: bool,
    }

    // Default: 100 requests per minute

Statistics:

    pub struct RateLimitStats {
        pub total_ips: usize,      // Number of tracked IPs
        pub total_requests: u32,   // Total requests made
        pub limited_ips: usize,    // IPs that hit the limit
        pub config: RateLimitConfig,
    }

### 6. Security Integration Module (`security_integration.rs`)

Purpose: Helper module to integrate all security components.

Key Features:

- `SecurityComponents` struct grouping all middleware
- `SecurityConfig` for configuration
- `initialize()` method to set up all components
- `disabled()` method for development mode
- `apply_security_middleware()` helper for router setup

Lines of Code: 265

Usage Example:

    use provisioning_orchestrator::security_integration::{
        SecurityComponents, SecurityConfig
    };

    // Initialize security
    let config = SecurityConfig {
        public_key_path: PathBuf::from("keys/public.pem"),
        jwt_issuer: "control-center".to_string(),
        jwt_audience: "orchestrator".to_string(),
        cedar_policies_path: PathBuf::from("policies"),
        auth_enabled: true,
        authz_enabled: true,
        mfa_enabled: true,
        rate_limit_config: RateLimitConfig::new(100, 60),
    };

    let security = SecurityComponents::initialize(config, audit_logger).await?;

    // Apply to router
    let app = Router::new()
        .route("/api/v1/servers", post(create_server))
        .route("/api/v1/servers/:id", delete(delete_server));

    let secured_app = apply_security_middleware(app, &security);

## Integration with AppState

### Updated AppState Structure

    pub struct AppState {
        // Existing fields
        pub task_storage: Arc<dyn TaskStorage>,
        pub batch_coordinator: BatchCoordinator,
        pub dependency_resolver: DependencyResolver,
        pub state_manager: Arc<WorkflowStateManager>,
        pub monitoring_system: Arc<MonitoringSystem>,
        pub progress_tracker: Arc<ProgressTracker>,
        pub rollback_system: Arc<RollbackSystem>,
        pub test_orchestrator: Arc<TestOrchestrator>,
        pub dns_manager: Arc<DnsManager>,
        pub extension_manager: Arc<ExtensionManager>,
        pub oci_manager: Arc<OciManager>,
        pub service_orchestrator: Arc<ServiceOrchestrator>,
        pub audit_logger: Arc<AuditLogger>,
        pub args: Args,

        // NEW: Security components
        pub security: SecurityComponents,
    }

### Initialization in main.rs

    #[tokio::main]
    async fn main() -> Result<()> {
        let args = Args::parse();

        // Initialize AppState (creates audit_logger)
        let state = Arc::new(AppState::new(args).await?);

        // Initialize security components
        let security_config = SecurityConfig {
            public_key_path: PathBuf::from("keys/public.pem"),
            jwt_issuer: env::var("JWT_ISSUER").unwrap_or("control-center".to_string()),
            jwt_audience: "orchestrator".to_string(),
            cedar_policies_path: PathBuf::from("policies"),
            auth_enabled: env::var("AUTH_ENABLED").unwrap_or("true".to_string()) == "true",
            authz_enabled: env::var("AUTHZ_ENABLED").unwrap_or("true".to_string()) == "true",
            mfa_enabled: env::var("MFA_ENABLED").unwrap_or("true".to_string()) == "true",
            rate_limit_config: RateLimitConfig::new(
                env::var("RATE_LIMIT_MAX").unwrap_or("100".to_string()).parse().unwrap(),
                env::var("RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW").unwrap_or("60".to_string()).parse().unwrap(),
            ),
        };

        let security = SecurityComponents::initialize(
            security_config,
            state.audit_logger.clone()
        ).await?;

        // Public routes (no auth)
        let public_routes = Router::new()
            .route("/health", get(health_check));

        // Protected routes (full security chain)

## Complete Authentication Flow

### Step-by-Step Flow

    1. CLIENT REQUEST
       ├─ Headers:
       │  ├─ Authorization: Bearer <jwt_token>
       │  ├─ X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.1.100
       │  ├─ User-Agent: MyClient/1.0
       │  └─ X-MFA-Verified: true
       └─ Path: DELETE /api/v1/servers/prod-srv-01

    2. RATE LIMITING MIDDLEWARE

       │  ├─ mfa_verified: true
       │  └─ ip_address: 192.168.1.100
       ├─ Decision: ALLOW (valid token)
       └─ Continue →

    4. MFA VERIFICATION MIDDLEWARE
       ├─ Check endpoint: DELETE /api/v1/servers/prod-srv-01
       ├─ Requires MFA: ✅ YES (DELETE operation)
       ├─ MFA status: ✅ Verified
       ├─ Decision: ALLOW (MFA verified)
       └─ Continue →

    5. AUTHORIZATION MIDDLEWARE
       ├─ Build Cedar request:
       │  ├─ Principal: User("user-456")
       │  ├─ Action: Delete
       │  ├─ Resource: Server("prod-srv-01")
       │  └─ Context:
       │     ├─ mfa_verified: true
       │     ├─ ip_address: "192.168.1.100"
       │     ├─ time: 2025-10-08T14:30:00Z
       │     └─ workspace: "production"
       ├─ Evaluate Cedar policies:
       │  ├─ Policy 1: Allow if user.role == "admin" ✅
       │  ├─ Policy 2: Allow if mfa_verified == true ✅

       ├─ Decision: ALLOW (2 allow, 1 deny = allow)
       ├─ Log to audit: Authorization GRANTED
       └─ Continue →

    6. AUDIT LOGGING MIDDLEWARE
       ├─ Record:
       │  ├─ User: user-456 (IP: 192.168.1.100)
       │  ├─ Action: ServerDelete
       │  ├─ Resource: prod-srv-01

       │  ├─ MFA: Verified
       │  └─ Timestamp: 2025-10-08T14:30:00Z
       └─ Continue →

    7. PROTECTED HANDLER
       ├─ Execute business logic
       ├─ Delete server prod-srv-01
       └─ Return: 200 OK

    8. AUDIT LOGGING (Response)
       ├─ Update event:
       │  ├─ Status: 200 OK
       │  ├─ Duration: 1.234s
       │  └─ Result: SUCCESS
       └─ Write to audit log

    9. CLIENT RESPONSE
       └─ 200 OK: Server deleted successfully

# Repository and Distribution Architecture Analysis

Date: 2025-10-01 Status: Analysis Complete - Implementation Planning Author: Architecture Review

## Executive Summary

This document analyzes the current project structure and provides a comprehensive plan for optimizing the repository organization and distribution strategy. The goal is to create a professional-grade infrastructure automation system with clear separation of concerns, efficient development workflow, and user-friendly distribution.

## Current State Analysis

### Strengths

1. Clean Core Separation

   - `provisioning/` contains the core system
   - `workspace/` concept for user data
   - Clear extension points (providers, taskservs, clusters)

2. Hybrid Architecture

   - Rust orchestrator for performance-critical operations
   - Nushell for business logic and scripting
   - KCL for type-safe configuration

3. Modular Design

   - Extension system for providers and services
   - Plugin architecture for Nushell
   - Template-based code generation

4. Advanced Features

   - Batch workflow system (v3.1.0)
   - Hybrid orchestrator (v3.0.0)
   - Token-optimized agent architecture

### Critical Issues

1. Confusing Root Structure

   - Multiple workspace variants: `_workspace/`, `backup-workspace/`, `workspace-librecloud/`
   - Development artifacts at root: `wrks/`, `NO/`, `target/`
   - Unclear which workspace is active

2. Mixed Concerns

   - Runtime data intermixed with source code
   - Build artifacts not properly isolated
   - Presentations and demos in main repo

3. Distribution Challenges

   - Bash wrapper for CLI entry point (`provisioning/core/cli/provisioning`)
   - No clear installation mechanism
   - Missing package management system
   - Undefined installation paths

4. Documentation Fragmentation

   - Multiple `docs/` locations
   - Scattered README files
   - No unified documentation structure

5. Configuration Complexity

   - TOML-based system is good, but paths are unclear
   - User vs system config separation needs clarification
   - Installation paths not standardized

## Recommended Architecture

### 1. Monorepo Structure

### Key Principles

1. Clear Separation: Source code (`provisioning/`), runtime data (`workspace/`), build artifacts (`distribution/`)
2. Single Source of Truth: One location for each type of content
3. Gitignore Strategy: Runtime and build artifacts ignored, templates tracked
4. Standard Paths: Follow Unix conventions for installation

## Migration Strategy

### For Existing Users

#### Option 1: Clean Migration

    # Backup current workspace
    cp -r workspace workspace.backup

    # Upgrade to new version
    provisioning upgrade --version 3.2.0

    # Migrate workspace
    provisioning workspace migrate --from workspace.backup --to workspace/

#### Option 2: In-Place Migration

    # Run migration script
    provisioning migrate --check  # Dry run
    provisioning migrate          # Execute migration

### For Developers

    # Pull latest changes
    git pull origin main

    # Rebuild
    just clean-all
    just build

    # Reinstall development version
    just install-dev

    # Verify
    provisioning --version

## Success Criteria

### Repository Structure

- ✅ Single `workspace/` directory for all runtime data
- ✅ Clear separation: source (`provisioning/`), runtime (`workspace/`), artifacts (`distribution/`)
- ✅ All build artifacts in `distribution/` and gitignored
- ✅ Clean root directory (no `wrks/`, `NO/`, etc.)
- ✅ Unified documentation in `docs/`

### Build System

- ✅ Single command builds all packages: `just build`
- ✅ Packages can be built independently
- ✅ Checksums generated automatically
- ✅ Validation before packaging
- ✅ Build time < 5 minutes for full build

### Installation

- ✅ One-line installation: `curl -fsSL https://get.provisioning.io | sh`
- ✅ Works on Linux and macOS
- ✅ Standard installation paths (`/usr/local/`)
- ✅ User configuration in `~/.provisioning/`
- ✅ Clean uninstallation

### Distribution

- ✅ Packages available at stable URL
- ✅ Automated releases via CI/CD
- ✅ Package registry for extensions
- ✅ Upgrade mechanism works reliably

### Documentation

- ✅ Complete installation guide
- ✅ Quick start guide
- ✅ Developer contributing guide
- ✅ API documentation
- ✅ Architecture documentation

# TypeDialog + Nickel Integration Guide

Status: Implementation Guide Last Updated: 2025-12-15 Project: TypeDialog at `/Users/Akasha/Development/typedialog` Purpose: Type-safe UI generation from Nickel schemas

## What is TypeDialog

TypeDialog generates type-safe interactive forms from configuration schemas with bidirectional Nickel integration.

    Nickel Schema
        ↓
    TypeDialog Form (Auto-generated)
        ↓
    User fills form interactively
        ↓
    Nickel output config (Type-safe)

        ↓
    Form Rendering (CLI/TUI/Web)
        ↓
    User Input
        ↓
    Validation (against Nickel contracts)
        ↓
    Output (JSON/YAML/TOML/Nickel)

## Setup

### Installation

    # Clone TypeDialog
    git clone https://github.com/jesusperezlorenzo/typedialog.git
    cd typedialog

    # Build
    cargo build --release

    # Install (optional)
    cargo install --path ./crates/typedialog

### Verify Installation

    typedialog --version
    typedialog --help

## Basic Workflow

### Step 1: Define Nickel Schema

    # server_config.ncl
    let contracts = import "./contracts.ncl" in
    let defaults = import "./defaults.ncl" in

    {
      defaults = defaults,

      make_server | not_exported = fun overrides =>
        defaults.server & overrides,

      DefaultServer = defaults.server,
    }

### Step 2: Define TypeDialog Form (TOML)

    # server_form.toml
    [form]
    title = "Server Configuration"
    description = "Create a new server configuration"

    [[fields]]
    name = "server_name"
    label = "Server Name"
    type = "text"
    required = true
    help = "Unique identifier for the server"
    placeholder = "web-01"

    [[fields]]
    name = "cpu_cores"
    label = "CPU Cores"
    type = "number"
    required = true
    default = 4
    help = "Number of CPU cores (1-32)"

    [[fields]]
    name = "memory_gb"
    label = "Memory (GB)"
    type = "number"
    required = true
    default = 8
    help = "Memory in GB (1-256)"

    [[fields]]
    name = "zone"
    label = "Availability Zone"
    type = "select"
    required = true
    options = ["us-nyc1", "eu-fra1", "ap-syd1"]
    default = "us-nyc1"

    [[fields]]
    name = "monitoring"
    label = "Enable Monitoring"
    type = "confirm"
    default = true

    [[fields]]
    name = "tags"
    label = "Tags"
    type = "multiselect"
    options = ["production", "staging", "testing", "development"]
    help = "Select applicable tags"

### Step 3: Render Form (CLI)

    typedialog form --config server_form.toml --backend cli

Output:

    Server Configuration
    Create a new server configuration

    ? Server Name: web-01
    ? CPU Cores: 4
    ? Memory (GB): 8
    ? Availability Zone: (us-nyc1/eu-fra1/ap-syd1) us-nyc1
    ? Enable Monitoring: (y/n) y
    ? Tags: (Select multiple with space)
      ◉ production
      ◯ staging
      ◯ testing
      ◯ development

### Step 4: Validate Against Nickel Schema

    # Validation happens automatically
    # If input matches Nickel contract, proceeds to output

### Step 5: Output to Nickel

    typedialog form \
      --config server_form.toml \
      --output nickel \
      --backend cli

Output file (`server_config_output.ncl`):

    {
      server_name = "web-01",
      cpu_cores = 4,
      memory_gb = 8,
      zone = "us-nyc1",
      monitoring = true,
      tags = ["production"],
    }

    typedialog form \
      --config infrastructure_wizard.toml \
      --backend tui \
      --output nickel

Output (`infrastructure_config.ncl`):

    {
      workspace_name = "production-eu",
      deployment_mode = 'enterprise,
      provider = 'upcloud,
      taskservs = ["kubernetes", "cilium", "postgres", "redis", "prometheus"],
      enable_monitoring = true,
      enable_backup = true,
      backup_retention_days = 30,
      email = "ops@company.com",
    }

### Step 4: Use Output in Infrastructure

    # main_infrastructure.ncl
    let config = import "./infrastructure_config.ncl" in
    let schemas = import "../../provisioning/schemas/main.ncl" in

    {
      # Build infrastructure based on config
      infrastructure = if config.deployment_mode == 'solo then
        {
          servers = [
            schemas.lib.make_server {
              name = config.workspace_name,
              cpu_cores = 2,
              memory_gb = 4,
            },
          ],
          taskservs = config.taskservs,
        }
      else if config.deployment_mode == 'enterprise then
        {
          servers = [
            schemas.lib.make_server { name = "app-01", cpu_cores = 16, memory_gb = 32 },
            schemas.lib.make_server { name = "app-02", cpu_cores = 16, memory_gb = 32 },
            schemas.lib.make_server { name = "db-01", cpu_cores = 16, memory_gb = 32 },
          ],
          taskservs = config.taskservs,
          monitoring = { enabled = config.enable_monitoring, email = config.email },
        }
      else
        # default fallback
        {},
    }

## API Integration

### TypeDialog REST Endpoints

    # Start TypeDialog server
    typedialog server --port 8080

    # Render form via HTTP
    curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/forms \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d @server_form.toml

### Response Format

    {
      "form_id": "srv_abc123",
      "status": "rendered",
      "fields": [
        {
          "name": "server_name",
          "label": "Server Name",
          "type": "text",
          "required": true,
          "placeholder": "web-01"
        }
      ]
    }

### Submit Form

      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "server_name": "web-01",
        "cpu_cores": 4,
        "memory_gb": 8,
        "zone": "us-nyc1",
        "monitoring": true,
        "tags": ["production"]
      }'

### Response

    {
      "status": "success",
      "validation": "passed",
      "output_format": "nickel",
      "output": {
        "server_name": "web-01",
        "cpu_cores": 4,
        "memory_gb": 8,
        "zone": "us-nyc1",
        "monitoring": true,
        "tags": ["production"]
      }
    }

## Validation

### Contract-Based Validation

TypeDialog validates user input against Nickel contracts:

    # Nickel contract
    ServerConfig = {
      cpu_cores | Number,  # Must be number
      memory_gb | Number,  # Must be number
      zone | [| 'us-nyc1, 'eu-fra1 |],  # Enum
    }

    # If user enters invalid value
    # TypeDialog rejects before serializing

### Validation Rules in Form

    [[fields]]
    name = "cpu_cores"
    type = "number"
    min = 1
    max = 32
    help = "Must be 1-32 cores"
    # TypeDialog enforces before user can submit

## Integration with Provisioning Platform

### Use Case: Infrastructure Initialization

    # 1. User runs initialization
    provisioning init --wizard

    # 2. Behind the scenes:
    #    - Loads infrastructure_wizard.toml
    #    - Starts TypeDialog (CLI or TUI)
    #    - User fills form interactively

    # 3. Output saved as config
    #    ~/.config/provisioning/infrastructure_config.ncl

    # 4. Provisioning uses output
    #    provisioning server create --from-config infrastructure_config.ncl

### Implementation in Nushell

    # provisioning/core/nulib/provisioning_init.nu

    def provisioning_init_wizard [] {
      # Launch TypeDialog form
      let config = (
        typedialog form \
          --config "provisioning/config/infrastructure_wizard.toml" \
          --backend tui \
          --output nickel
      )

      # Save output
      $config | save ~/.config/provisioning/workspace_config.ncl

      # Validate with provisioning schemas
      let provisioning = (import "provisioning/schemas/main.ncl")
      let validated = (
        nickel export ~/.config/provisioning/workspace_config.ncl
          | jq . | to json
      )

      print "Infrastructure configuration created!"
      print "Use: provisioning deploy --from-config"
    }

## Advanced Features

### Conditional Visibility

Show/hide fields based on user selections:

    [[fields]]
    name = "backup_retention"
    label = "Backup Retention (days)"
    type = "number"
    visible_if = "enable_backup == true"  # Only shown if backup enabled

### Dynamic Defaults

Set defaults based on other fields:

    [[fields]]
    name = "deployment_mode"
    type = "select"
    options = ["solo", "enterprise"]

    [[fields]]
    name = "cpu_cores"
    type = "number"
    default_from = "deployment_mode"  # Can reference other fields
    # solo → default 2, enterprise → default 16

### Custom Validation

    [[fields]]
    name = "memory_gb"
    type = "number"
    validation_rule = "memory_gb >= cpu_cores * 2"
    help = "Memory must be at least 2 GB per CPU core"

## Output Formats

TypeDialog can output to multiple formats:

    # Output to Nickel (recommended for IaC)
    typedialog form --config form.toml --output nickel

    # Output to JSON (for APIs)
    typedialog form --config form.toml --output json

    # Output to YAML (for K8s)
    typedialog form --config form.toml --output yaml

    # Output to TOML (for application config)
    typedialog form --config form.toml --output toml

## Backends

TypeDialog supports three rendering backends:

### 1. CLI (Command-line prompts)

    typedialog form --config form.toml --backend cli

Pros: Lightweight, SSH-friendly, no dependencies Cons: Basic UI

### 2. TUI (Terminal User Interface - Ratatui)

    typedialog form --config form.toml --backend tui

Pros: Rich UI, keyboard navigation, sections Cons: Requires terminal support

### 3. Web (HTTP Server - Axum)

    typedialog form --config form.toml --backend web --port 3000
    # Opens http://localhost:3000

Pros: Beautiful UI, remote access, multi-user Cons: Requires browser, network

## Troubleshooting

### Problem: Form doesn’t match Nickel contract

Cause: Field names or types don’t match contract

Solution: Verify field definitions match Nickel schema:

    # Form field
    [[fields]]
    name = "cpu_cores"  # Must match Nickel field name
    type = "number"     # Must match Nickel type

### Problem: Validation fails

Cause: User input violates contract constraints

Solution: Add help text and validation rules:

    [[fields]]
    name = "cpu_cores"
    validation_pattern = "^[1-9][0-9]*$"
    help = "Must be positive integer"

### Problem: Output not valid Nickel

Cause: Missing required fields

Solution: Ensure all required fields in form:

    [[fields]]
    name = "required_field"
    required = true  # User must provide value

## Complete Example: End-to-End Workflow

### Step 1: Define Nickel Schema

    # workspace_schema.ncl
    {
      workspace = {
        name = "",
        mode = 'solo,
        provider = 'upcloud,
        monitoring = true,
        email = "",
      },
    }

### Step 2: Define Form

    # workspace_form.toml
    [[fields]]
    name = "name"
    type = "text"
    required = true

    [[fields]]
    name = "mode"
    type = "select"
    options = ["solo", "enterprise"]

    [[fields]]
    name = "provider"
    type = "select"
    options = ["upcloud", "aws"]

    [[fields]]
    name = "monitoring"
    type = "confirm"

    [[fields]]
    name = "email"
    type = "text"
    required = true

### Step 3: User Interaction

    $ typedialog form --config workspace_form.toml --backend tui
    # User fills form interactively

### Step 4: Output

    {
      workspace = {
        name = "production",
        mode = 'enterprise,
        provider = 'upcloud,
        monitoring = true,
        email = "ops@company.com",
      },
    }

### Step 5: Use in Provisioning

    # main.ncl
    let config = import "./workspace.ncl" in
    let schemas = import "provisioning/schemas/main.ncl" in

    {
      # Build infrastructure
      infrastructure = schemas.deployment.modes.make_mode {
        deployment_type = config.workspace.mode,
        provider = config.workspace.provider,
      },
    }

## Summary

TypeDialog + Nickel provides:

✅ Type-Safe UIs: Forms validated against Nickel contracts ✅ Auto-Generated: No UI code to maintain ✅ Bidirectional: Nickel → Forms → Nickel ✅ Multiple Outputs: JSON, YAML, TOML, Nickel ✅ Three Backends: CLI, TUI, Web ✅ Production-Ready: Used in real infrastructure

Key Benefit: Reduce configuration errors by enforcing schema validation at UI level, not after deployment.

# ADR-001: Project Structure Decision

## Status

Accepted

## Context

Provisioning had evolved from a monolithic structure into a complex system with mixed organizational patterns. The original structure had multiple issues:

1. Provider-specific code scattered: Cloud provider implementations were mixed with core logic
2. Task services fragmented: Infrastructure services lacked consistent structure
3. Domain boundaries unclear: No clear separation between core, providers, and services
4. Development artifacts mixed with distribution: User-facing tools mixed with development utilities
5. Deep call stack limitations: Nushell’s runtime limitations required architectural solutions
6. Configuration complexity: 200+ environment variables across 65+ files needed systematic organization

The system needed a clear, maintainable structure that supports:

- Multi-provider infrastructure provisioning (AWS, UpCloud, local)
- Modular task services (Kubernetes, container runtimes, storage, networking)
- Clear separation of concerns
- Hybrid Rust/Nushell architecture
- Configuration-driven workflows
- Clean distribution without development artifacts

## Decision

Adopt a domain-driven hybrid structure organized around functional boundaries:

    src/
    ├── core/           # Core system and CLI entry point
    ├── platform/       # High-performance coordination layer (Rust orchestrator)
    ├── orchestrator/   # Legacy orchestrator location (to be consolidated)
    ├── provisioning/   # Main provisioning with domain modules
    ├── control-center/ # Web UI management interface
    ├── tools/          # Development and utility tools
    └── extensions/     # Plugin and extension framework

### Key Structural Principles

1. Domain Separation: Each major component has clear boundaries and responsibilities
2. Hybrid Architecture: Rust for performance-critical coordination, Nushell for business logic
3. Provider Abstraction: Standardized interfaces across cloud providers
4. Service Modularity: Reusable task services with consistent structure
5. Clean Distribution: Development tools separated from user-facing components
6. Configuration Hierarchy: Systematic config management with interpolation support

### Domain Organization

- Core: CLI interface, library modules, and common utilities
- Platform: High-performance Rust orchestrator for workflow coordination
- Provisioning: Main business logic with providers, task services, and clusters
- Control Center: Web-based management interface
- Tools: Development utilities and build systems
- Extensions: Plugin framework and custom extensions

## Consequences

### Positive

- Clear Boundaries: Each domain has well-defined responsibilities and interfaces
- Scalable Growth: New providers and services can be added without structural changes
- Development Efficiency: Developers can focus on specific domains without system-wide knowledge
- Clean Distribution: Users receive only necessary components without development artifacts
- Maintenance Clarity: Issues can be isolated to specific domains
- Hybrid Benefits: Leverage Rust performance where needed while maintaining Nushell productivity
- Configuration Consistency: Systematic approach to configuration management across all domains

### Negative

- Migration Complexity: Required systematic migration of existing components
- Learning Curve: New developers need to understand domain boundaries
- Coordination Overhead: Cross-domain features require careful interface design
- Path Management: More complex path resolution with domain separation
- Build Complexity: Multiple domains require coordinated build processes

### Neutral

- Development Patterns: Each domain may develop its own patterns within architectural guidelines
- Testing Strategy: Domain-specific testing strategies while maintaining integration coverage
- Documentation: Domain-specific documentation with clear cross-references

## Alternatives Considered

### Alternative 1: Monolithic Structure

Keep all code in a single flat structure with minimal organization. Rejected: Would not solve maintainability or scalability issues. Continued technical debt accumulation.

### Alternative 2: Microservice Architecture

Split into completely separate services with network communication. Rejected: Overhead too high for single-machine deployment use case. Would complicate installation and configuration.

### Alternative 3: Language-Based Organization

Organize by implementation language (rust/, nushell/, kcl/). Rejected: Does not align with functional boundaries. Cross-cutting concerns would be scattered.

### Alternative 4: Feature-Based Organization

Organize by user-facing features (servers/, clusters/, networking/). Rejected: Would duplicate cross-cutting infrastructure and provider logic across features.

### Alternative 5: Layer-Based Architecture

Organize by architectural layers (presentation/, business/, data/). Rejected: Does not align with domain complexity. Infrastructure provisioning has different layering needs.

# ADR-002: Distribution Strategy

## Status

Accepted

## Context

Provisioning needed a clean distribution strategy that separates user-facing tools from development artifacts. Key challenges included:

1. Development Artifacts Mixed with Production: Build tools, test files, and development utilities scattered throughout user directories
2. Complex Installation Process: Users had to navigate through development-specific directories and files
3. Unclear User Experience: No clear distinction between what users need versus what developers need
4. Configuration Complexity: Multiple configuration files with unclear precedence and purpose
5. Workspace Pollution: User workspaces contained development-only files and directories
6. Path Resolution Issues: Complex path resolution logic mixing development and production concerns

The system required a distribution strategy that provides:

- Clean user experience without development artifacts
- Clear separation between user and development tools
- Simplified configuration management
- Consistent installation and deployment patterns
- Maintainable development workflow

## Decision

Implement a layered distribution strategy with clear separation between development and user environments:

### Distribution Layers

1. Core Distribution Layer: Essential user-facing components

   - Main CLI tools and libraries
   - Configuration templates and defaults
   - Provider implementations
   - Task service definitions

2. Development Layer: Development-specific tools and artifacts

   - Build scripts and development utilities
   - Test suites and validation tools
   - Development configuration templates
   - Code generation tools

3. Workspace Layer: User-specific customization and data

   - User configurations and overrides
   - Local state and cache files
   - Custom extensions and plugins
   - User-specific templates and workflows

### Distribution Structure

    # User Distribution
    /usr/local/bin/
    ├── provisioning              # Main CLI entry point
    └── provisioning-*           # Supporting utilities

    /usr/local/share/provisioning/
    ├── core/                    # Core libraries and modules
    ├── providers/               # Provider implementations
    ├── taskservs/              # Task service definitions
    ├── templates/              # Configuration templates
    └── config.defaults.toml    # System-wide defaults

    # User Workspace
    ~/workspace/provisioning/
    ├── config.user.toml        # User preferences
    ├── infra/                  # User infrastructure definitions
    ├── extensions/             # User extensions
    └── cache/                  # Local cache and state

    # Development Environment
    <project-root>/
    ├── src/                    # Source code
    ├── scripts/                # Development tools
    ├── tests/                  # Test suites
    └── tools/                  # Build and development utilities

### Key Distribution Principles

1. Clean Separation: Development artifacts never appear in user installations
2. Hierarchical Configuration: Clear precedence from system defaults to user overrides
3. Self-Contained User Tools: Users can work without accessing development directories
4. Workspace Isolation: User data and customizations isolated from system installation
5. Consistent Paths: Predictable path resolution across different installation types
6. Version Management: Clear versioning and upgrade paths for distributed components

## Consequences

### Positive

- Clean User Experience: Users interact only with production-ready tools and interfaces
- Simplified Installation: Clear installation process without development complexity
- Workspace Isolation: User customizations don’t interfere with system installation
- Development Efficiency: Developers can work with full toolset without affecting users
- Configuration Clarity: Clear hierarchy and precedence for configuration settings
- Maintainable Updates: System updates don’t affect user customizations
- Path Simplicity: Predictable path resolution without development-specific logic
- Security Isolation: User workspace separated from system components

### Negative

- Distribution Complexity: Multiple distribution targets require coordinated build processes
- Path Management: More complex path resolution logic to support multiple layers
- Migration Overhead: Existing users need to migrate to new workspace structure
- Documentation Burden: Need clear documentation for different user types
- Testing Complexity: Must validate distribution across different installation scenarios

### Neutral

- Development Patterns: Different patterns for development versus production deployment
- Configuration Strategy: Layer-specific configuration management approaches
- Tool Integration: Different integration patterns for development versus user tools

## Alternatives Considered

### Alternative 1: Monolithic Distribution

Ship everything (development and production) in single package. Rejected: Creates confusing user experience and bloated installations. Mixes development concerns with user needs.

### Alternative 2: Container-Only Distribution

Package entire system as container images only. Rejected: Limits deployment flexibility and complicates local development workflows. Not suitable for all use cases.

### Alternative 3: Source-Only Distribution

Require users to build from source with development environment. Rejected: Creates high barrier to entry and mixes user concerns with development complexity.

### Alternative 4: Plugin-Based Distribution

Minimal core with everything else as downloadable plugins. Rejected: Would fragment essential functionality and complicate initial setup. Network dependency for basic functionality.

### Alternative 5: Environment-Based Distribution

Use environment variables to control what gets installed. Rejected: Creates complex configuration matrix and potential for inconsistent installations.

## Implementation Details

### Distribution Build Process

1. Core Layer Build: Extract essential user components from source
2. Template Processing: Generate configuration templates with proper defaults
3. Path Resolution: Generate path resolution logic for different installation types
4. Documentation Generation: Create user-specific documentation excluding development details
5. Package Creation: Build distribution packages for different platforms
6. Validation Testing: Test installations in clean environments

### Configuration Hierarchy

    System Defaults (lowest precedence)
    └── User Configuration
        └── Project Configuration
            └── Infrastructure Configuration
                └── Environment Configuration
                    └── Runtime Configuration (highest precedence)

### Workspace Management

- Automatic Creation: User workspace created on first run
- Template Initialization: Workspace populated with configuration templates
- Version Tracking: Workspace tracks compatible system versions
- Migration Support: Automatic migration between workspace versions
- Backup Integration: Workspace backup and restore capabilities

# ADR-003: Workspace Isolation

## Status

Accepted

## Context

Provisioning required a clear strategy for managing user-specific data, configurations, and customizations separate from system-wide installations. Key challenges included:

1. Configuration Conflicts: User settings mixed with system defaults, causing unclear precedence
2. State Management: User state (cache, logs, temporary files) scattered across filesystem
3. Customization Isolation: User extensions and customizations affecting system behavior
4. Multi-User Support: Multiple users on same system interfering with each other
5. Development vs Production: Developer needs different from end-user needs
6. Path Resolution Complexity: Complex logic to locate user-specific resources
7. Backup and Migration: Difficulty backing up and migrating user-specific settings
8. Security Boundaries: Need clear separation between system and user-writable areas

The system needed workspace isolation that provides:

- Clear separation of user data from system installation
- Predictable configuration precedence and inheritance
- User-specific customization without system impact
- Multi-user support on shared systems
- Easy backup and migration of user settings
- Security isolation between system and user areas

## Decision

Implement isolated user workspaces with clear boundaries and hierarchical configuration:

### Workspace Structure

    ~/workspace/provisioning/           # User workspace root
    ├── config/
    │   ├── user.toml                  # User preferences and overrides
    │   ├── environments/              # Environment-specific configs
    │   │   ├── dev.toml
    │   │   ├── test.toml
    │   │   └── prod.toml
    │   └── secrets/                   # User-specific encrypted secrets
    ├── infra/                         # User infrastructure definitions
    │   ├── personal/                  # Personal infrastructure
    │   ├── work/                      # Work-related infrastructure
    │   └── shared/                    # Shared infrastructure definitions
    ├── extensions/                    # User-installed extensions
    │   ├── providers/                 # Custom providers
    │   ├── taskservs/                 # Custom task services
    │   └── plugins/                   # User plugins
    ├── templates/                     # User-specific templates
    ├── cache/                         # Local cache and temporary data
    │   ├── provider-cache/            # Provider API cache
    │   ├── version-cache/             # Version information cache
    │   └── build-cache/               # Build and generation cache
    ├── logs/                          # User-specific logs
    ├── state/                         # Local state files
    └── backups/                       # Automatic workspace backups

### Configuration Hierarchy (Precedence Order)

1. Runtime Parameters (command line, environment variables)
2. Environment Configuration (`config/environments/{env}.toml`)
3. Infrastructure Configuration (`infra/{name}/config.toml`)
4. Project Configuration (project-specific settings)
5. User Configuration (`config/user.toml`)
6. System Defaults (system-wide defaults)

### Key Isolation Principles

1. Complete Isolation: User workspace completely independent of system installation
2. Hierarchical Inheritance: Clear configuration inheritance with user overrides
3. Security Boundaries: User workspace in user-writable area only
4. Multi-User Safe: Multiple users can have independent workspaces
5. Portable: Entire user workspace can be backed up and restored
6. Version Independent: Workspace compatible across system version upgrades
7. Extension Safe: User extensions cannot affect system behavior
8. State Isolation: All user state contained within workspace

## Consequences

### Positive

- User Independence: Users can customize without affecting system or other users
- Configuration Clarity: Clear hierarchy and precedence for all configuration
- Security Isolation: User modifications cannot compromise system installation
- Easy Backup: Complete user environment can be backed up and restored
- Development Flexibility: Developers can have multiple isolated workspaces
- System Upgrades: System updates don’t affect user customizations
- Multi-User Support: Multiple users can work independently on same system
- Portable Configurations: User workspace can be moved between systems
- State Management: All user state in predictable locations

### Negative

- Initial Setup: Users must initialize workspace before first use
- Path Complexity: More complex path resolution to support workspace isolation
- Disk Usage: Each user maintains separate cache and state
- Configuration Duplication: Some configuration may be duplicated across users
- Migration Overhead: Existing users need workspace migration
- Documentation Complexity: Need clear documentation for workspace management

### Neutral

- Backup Strategy: Users responsible for their own workspace backup
- Extension Management: User-specific extension installation and management
- Version Compatibility: Workspace versions must be compatible with system versions
- Performance Implications: Additional path resolution overhead

## Alternatives Considered

### Alternative 1: System-Wide Configuration Only

All configuration in system directories with user overrides via environment variables. Rejected: Creates conflicts between users and makes customization difficult. Poor isolation and security.

### Alternative 2: Home Directory Dotfiles

Use traditional dotfile approach (~/.provisioning/). Rejected: Clutters home directory and provides less structured organization. Harder to backup and migrate.

### Alternative 3: XDG Base Directory Specification

Follow XDG specification for config/data/cache separation. Rejected: While standards-compliant, would fragment user data across multiple directories making management complex.

### Alternative 4: Container-Based Isolation

Each user gets containerized environment. Rejected: Too heavy for simple configuration isolation. Adds deployment complexity without sufficient benefits.

### Alternative 5: Database-Based Configuration

Store all user configuration in database. Rejected: Adds dependency complexity and makes backup/restore more difficult. Over-engineering for configuration needs.

## Implementation Details

### Workspace Initialization

    # Automatic workspace creation on first run
    provisioning workspace init

    # Manual workspace creation with template
    provisioning workspace init --template=developer

    # Workspace status and validation
    provisioning workspace status
    provisioning workspace validate

### Configuration Resolution Process

1. Workspace Discovery: Locate user workspace (env var → default location)
2. Configuration Loading: Load configuration hierarchy with proper precedence
3. Path Resolution: Resolve all paths relative to workspace and system installation
4. Variable Interpolation: Process configuration variables and templates
5. Validation: Validate merged configuration for completeness and correctness

### Backup and Migration

    # Backup entire workspace
    provisioning workspace backup --output ~/backup/provisioning-workspace.tar.gz

    # Restore workspace from backup
    provisioning workspace restore --input ~/backup/provisioning-workspace.tar.gz

    # Migrate workspace to new version
    provisioning workspace migrate --from-version 2.0.0 --to-version 3.0.0

### Security Considerations

- File Permissions: Workspace created with appropriate user permissions
- Secret Management: Secrets encrypted and isolated within workspace
- Extension Sandboxing: User extensions cannot access system directories
- Path Validation: All paths validated to prevent directory traversal
- Configuration Validation: User configuration validated against schemas

# ADR-004: Hybrid Architecture

## Status

Accepted

## Context

Provisioning encountered fundamental limitations with a pure Nushell implementation that required architectural solutions:

1. Deep Call Stack Limitations: Nushell’s `open` command fails in deep call contexts (`enumerate | each`), causing “Type not supported” errors in template.nu:71
2. Performance Bottlenecks: Complex workflow orchestration hitting Nushell’s performance limits
3. Concurrency Constraints: Limited parallel processing capabilities in Nushell for batch operations
4. Integration Complexity: Need for REST API endpoints and external system integration
5. State Management: Complex state tracking and persistence requirements beyond Nushell’s capabilities
6. Business Logic Preservation: 65+ existing Nushell files with domain expertise that shouldn’t be rewritten
7. Developer Productivity: Nushell excels for configuration management and domain-specific operations

The system needed an architecture that:

- Solves Nushell’s technical limitations without losing business logic
- Leverages each language’s strengths appropriately
- Maintains existing investment in Nushell domain knowledge
- Provides performance for coordination-heavy operations
- Enables modern integration patterns (REST APIs, async workflows)
- Preserves configuration-driven, Infrastructure as Code principles

## Decision

Implement a Hybrid Rust/Nushell Architecture with clear separation of concerns:

### Architecture Layers

#### 1. Coordination Layer (Rust)

- Orchestrator: High-performance workflow coordination and task scheduling
- REST API Server: HTTP endpoints for external integration
- State Management: Persistent state tracking with checkpoint recovery
- Batch Processing: Parallel execution of complex workflows
- File-based Persistence: Lightweight task queue using reliable file storage
- Error Recovery: Sophisticated error handling and rollback capabilities

#### 2. Business Logic Layer (Nushell)

- Provider Implementations: Cloud provider-specific operations (AWS, UpCloud, local)
- Task Services: Infrastructure service management (Kubernetes, networking, storage)
- Configuration Management: KCL-based configuration processing and validation
- Template Processing: Infrastructure-as-Code template generation
- CLI Interface: User-facing command-line tools and workflows
- Domain Operations: All business-specific logic and operations

### Integration Patterns

#### Rust → Nushell Communication

    // Rust orchestrator invokes Nushell scripts via process execution
    let result = Command::new("nu")
        .arg("-c")
        .arg("use core/nulib/workflows/server_create.nu *; server_create_workflow 'name' '' []")
        .output()?;

#### Nushell → Rust Communication

    # Nushell submits workflows to Rust orchestrator via HTTP API
    http post "http://localhost:9090/workflows/servers/create" {
        name: "server-name",
        provider: "upcloud",
        config: $server_config
    }

#### Data Exchange Format

- Structured JSON: All data exchange via JSON for type safety and interoperability
- Configuration TOML: Configuration data in TOML format for human readability
- State Files: Lightweight file-based state exchange between layers

### Key Architectural Principles

1. Language Strengths: Use each language for what it does best
2. Business Logic Preservation: All existing domain knowledge stays in Nushell
3. Performance Critical Path: Coordination and orchestration in Rust
4. Clear Boundaries: Well-defined interfaces between layers
5. Configuration Driven: Both layers respect configuration-driven architecture
6. Error Handling: Coordinated error handling across language boundaries
7. State Consistency: Consistent state management across hybrid system

## Consequences

### Positive

- Technical Limitations Solved: Eliminates Nushell deep call stack issues
- Performance Optimized: High-performance coordination while preserving productivity
- Business Logic Preserved: 65+ Nushell files with domain expertise maintained
- Modern Integration: REST APIs and async workflows enabled
- Development Efficiency: Developers can use optimal language for each task
- Batch Processing: Parallel workflow execution with sophisticated state management
- Error Recovery: Advanced error handling and rollback capabilities
- Scalability: Architecture scales to complex multi-provider workflows
- Maintainability: Clear separation of concerns between layers

### Negative

- Complexity Increase: Two-language system requires more architectural coordination
- Integration Overhead: Data serialization/deserialization between languages
- Development Skills: Team needs expertise in both Rust and Nushell
- Testing Complexity: Must test integration between language layers
- Deployment Complexity: Two runtime environments must be coordinated
- Debugging Challenges: Debugging across language boundaries more complex

### Neutral

- Development Patterns: Different patterns for each layer while maintaining consistency
- Documentation Strategy: Language-specific documentation with integration guides
- Tool Chain: Multiple development tool chains must be maintained
- Performance Characteristics: Different performance characteristics for different operations

## Alternatives Considered

### Alternative 1: Pure Nushell Implementation

Continue with Nushell-only approach and work around limitations. Rejected: Technical limitations are fundamental and cannot be worked around without compromising functionality. Deep call stack issues are architectural.

### Alternative 2: Complete Rust Rewrite

Rewrite entire system in Rust for consistency. Rejected: Would lose 65+ files of domain expertise and Nushell’s productivity advantages for configuration management. Massive development effort.

### Alternative 3: Pure Go Implementation

Rewrite system in Go for simplicity and performance. Rejected: Same issues as Rust rewrite - loses domain expertise and Nushell’s configuration strengths. Go doesn’t provide significant advantages.

### Alternative 4: Python/Shell Hybrid

Use Python for coordination and shell scripts for operations. Rejected: Loses type safety and configuration-driven advantages of current system. Python adds dependency complexity.

### Alternative 5: Container-Based Separation

Run Nushell and coordination layer in separate containers. Rejected: Adds deployment complexity and network communication overhead. Complicates local development significantly.

## Implementation Details

### Orchestrator Components

- Task Queue: File-based persistent queue for reliable workflow management
- HTTP Server: REST API for workflow submission and monitoring
- State Manager: Checkpoint-based state tracking with recovery
- Process Manager: Nushell script execution with proper isolation
- Error Handler: Comprehensive error recovery and rollback logic

### Integration Protocols

- HTTP REST: Primary API for external integration
- JSON Data Exchange: Structured data format for all communication
- File-based State: Lightweight persistence without database dependencies
- Process Execution: Secure subprocess execution for Nushell operations

### Development Workflow

1. Rust Development: Focus on coordination, performance, and integration
2. Nushell Development: Focus on business logic, providers, and task services
3. Integration Testing: Validate communication between layers
4. End-to-End Validation: Complete workflow testing across both layers

### Monitoring and Observability

- Structured Logging: JSON logs from both Rust and Nushell components
- Metrics Collection: Performance metrics from coordination layer
- Health Checks: System health monitoring across both layers
- Workflow Tracking: Complete audit trail of workflow execution

## Migration Strategy

### Phase 1: Core Infrastructure (Completed)

- ✅ Rust orchestrator implementation
- ✅ REST API endpoints
- ✅ File-based task queue
- ✅ Basic Nushell integration

### Phase 2: Workflow Integration (Completed)

- ✅ Server creation workflows
- ✅ Task service workflows
- ✅ Cluster deployment workflows
- ✅ State management and recovery

### Phase 3: Advanced Features (Completed)

- ✅ Batch workflow processing
- ✅ Dependency resolution
- ✅ Rollback capabilities
- ✅ Real-time monitoring

# ADR-005: Extension Framework

## Status

Accepted

## Context

Provisioning required a flexible extension mechanism to support:

1. Custom Providers: Organizations need to add custom cloud providers beyond AWS, UpCloud, and local
2. Custom Task Services: Users need to integrate proprietary infrastructure services
3. Custom Workflows: Complex organizations require custom orchestration patterns
4. Third-Party Integration: Need to integrate with existing toolchains and systems
5. User Customization: Power users want to extend and modify system behavior
6. Plugin Ecosystem: Enable community contributions and extensions
7. Isolation Requirements: Extensions must not compromise system stability
8. Discovery Mechanism: System must automatically discover and load extensions
9. Version Compatibility: Extensions must work across system version upgrades
10. Configuration Integration: Extensions should integrate with configuration-driven architecture

The system needed an extension framework that provides:

- Clear extension API and interfaces
- Safe isolation of extension code
- Automatic discovery and loading
- Configuration integration
- Version compatibility management
- Developer-friendly extension development patterns

## Decision

Implement a registry-based extension framework with structured discovery and isolation:

### Extension Architecture

#### Extension Types

1. Provider Extensions: Custom cloud providers and infrastructure backends
2. Task Service Extensions: Custom infrastructure services and components
3. Workflow Extensions: Custom orchestration and deployment patterns
4. CLI Extensions: Additional command-line tools and interfaces
5. Template Extensions: Custom configuration and code generation templates
6. Integration Extensions: External system integrations and connectors

### Extension Structure

        └── external-tool/
            ├── extension.toml
            └── nulib/

### Extension Manifest (extension.toml)

    [extension]
    name = "custom-provider"
    version = "1.0.0"
    type = "provider"
    description = "Custom cloud provider integration"
    author = "Organization Name"
    license = "MIT"
    homepage = "https://github.com/org/custom-provider"

    [compatibility]
    provisioning_version = ">=3.0.0,<4.0.0"
    nushell_version = ">=0.107.0"
    kcl_version = ">=0.11.0"

    [configuration]
    config_prefix = "custom_provider"
    required_env_vars = ["CUSTOM_PROVIDER_API_KEY"]
    optional_config = ["custom_provider.region", "custom_provider.timeout"]

### Key Framework Principles

1. Registry-Based Discovery: Extensions registered in structured directories
2. Manifest-Driven Loading: Extension capabilities declared in manifest files
3. Version Compatibility: Explicit compatibility declarations and validation
4. Configuration Integration: Extensions integrate with system configuration hierarchy
5. Isolation Boundaries: Extensions isolated from core system and each other
6. Standard Interfaces: Consistent interfaces across extension types
7. Development Patterns: Clear patterns for extension development
8. Community Support: Framework designed for community contributions

## Consequences

### Positive

- Extensibility: System can be extended without modifying core code
- Community Growth: Enable community contributions and ecosystem development
- Organization Customization: Organizations can add proprietary integrations
- Innovation Support: New technologies can be integrated via extensions
- Isolation Safety: Extensions cannot compromise system stability
- Configuration Consistency: Extensions integrate with configuration-driven architecture
- Development Efficiency: Clear patterns reduce extension development time
- Version Management: Compatibility system prevents breaking changes
- Discovery Automation: Extensions automatically discovered and loaded

### Negative

- Complexity Increase: Additional layer of abstraction and management
- Performance Overhead: Extension loading and isolation adds runtime cost
- Testing Complexity: Must test extension framework and individual extensions
- Documentation Burden: Need comprehensive extension development documentation
- Version Coordination: Extension compatibility matrix requires management
- Support Complexity: Community extensions may require support resources

### Neutral

- Development Patterns: Different patterns for extension vs core development
- Quality Control: Community extensions may vary in quality and maintenance
- Security Considerations: Extensions need security review and validation
- Dependency Management: Extension dependencies must be managed carefully

## Alternatives Considered

### Alternative 1: Filesystem-Based Extensions

Simple filesystem scanning for extension discovery. Rejected: No manifest validation or version compatibility checking. Fragile discovery mechanism.

### Alternative 2: Database-Backed Registry

Store extension metadata in database for discovery. Rejected: Adds database dependency complexity. Over-engineering for extension discovery needs.

### Alternative 3: Package Manager Integration

Use existing package managers (cargo, npm) for extension distribution. Rejected: Complicates installation and creates external dependencies. Not suitable for corporate environments.

### Alternative 4: Container-Based Extensions

Each extension runs in isolated container. Rejected: Too heavy for simple extensions. Complicates development and deployment significantly.

### Alternative 5: Plugin Architecture

Traditional plugin architecture with dynamic loading. Rejected: Complex for shell-based system. Security and isolation challenges in Nushell environment.

## Implementation Details

### Extension Discovery Process

1. Directory Scanning: Scan extension directories for manifest files
2. Manifest Validation: Parse and validate extension manifest
3. Compatibility Check: Verify version compatibility requirements
4. Dependency Resolution: Resolve extension dependencies
5. Configuration Integration: Merge extension configuration schemas
6. Entry Point Registration: Register extension entry points with system

### Extension Loading Lifecycle

    # Extension discovery and validation
    provisioning extension discover
    provisioning extension validate --extension custom-provider

    # Extension activation and configuration
    provisioning extension enable custom-provider
    provisioning extension configure custom-provider

    # Extension usage
    provisioning provider list  # Shows custom providers
    provisioning server create --provider custom-provider

    # Extension management
    provisioning extension disable custom-provider
    provisioning extension update custom-provider

### Configuration Integration

Extensions integrate with hierarchical configuration system:

    # System configuration includes extension settings
    [custom_provider]
    api_endpoint = "https://api.custom-cloud.com"
    region = "us-west-1"
    timeout = 30

    # Extension configuration follows same hierarchy rules
    # System defaults → User config → Environment config → Runtime

### Security and Isolation

- Sandboxed Execution: Extensions run in controlled environment
- Permission Model: Extensions declare required permissions in manifest
- Code Review: Community extensions require review process
- Digital Signatures: Extensions can be digitally signed for authenticity
- Audit Logging: Extension usage tracked in system audit logs

### Development Support

- Extension Templates: Scaffold new extensions from templates
- Development Tools: Testing and validation tools for extension developers
- Documentation Generation: Automatic documentation from extension manifests
- Integration Testing: Framework for testing extensions with core system

## Extension Development Patterns

### Provider Extension Pattern

    # extensions/providers/custom-cloud/nulib/provider.nu
    export def list-servers [] -> table {
        http get $"($config.custom_provider.api_endpoint)/servers"
        | from json
        | select name status region
    }

    export def create-server [name: string, config: record] -> record {
        let payload = {
            name: $name,
            instance_type: $config.plan,
            region: $config.zone
        }

        http post $"($config.custom_provider.api_endpoint)/servers" $payload
        | from json
    }

### Task Service Extension Pattern

    # extensions/taskservs/custom-service/nulib/service.nu
    export def install [server: string] -> nothing {
        let manifest_data = open ./manifests/deployment.yaml
        | str replace "{{server}}" $server

        kubectl apply --server $server --data $manifest_data
    }

    export def uninstall [server: string] -> nothing {
        kubectl delete deployment custom-service --server $server
    }

# ADR-006: Provisioning CLI Refactoring to Modular Architecture

Status: Implemented ✅ Date: 2025-09-30 Authors: Infrastructure Team Related: ADR-001 (Project Structure), ADR-004 (Hybrid Architecture)

## Context

The main provisioning CLI script (`provisioning/core/nulib/provisioning`) had grown to 1,329 lines with a massive 1,100+ line match statement handling all commands. This monolithic structure created multiple critical problems:

### Problems Identified

1. Maintainability Crisis

   - 54 command branches in one file
   - Code duplication: Flag handling repeated 50+ times
   - Hard to navigate: Finding specific command logic required scrolling through 1,000+ lines
   - Mixed concerns: Routing, validation, and execution all intertwined

2. Development Friction

   - Adding new commands required editing massive file
   - Testing was nearly impossible (monolithic, no isolation)
   - High cognitive load for contributors
   - Code review difficult due to file size

3. Technical Debt

   - 10+ lines of repetitive flag handling per command
   - No separation of concerns
   - Poor code reusability
   - Difficult to test individual command handlers

4. User Experience Issues

   - No bi-directional help system
   - Inconsistent command shortcuts
   - Help system not fully integrated

## Decision

We refactored the monolithic CLI into a modular, domain-driven architecture with the following structure:

    provisioning/core/nulib/
    ├── provisioning (211 lines) ⬅️ 84% reduction
    ├── main_provisioning/
    │   ├── flags.nu (139 lines) ⭐ Centralized flag handling
    │   ├── dispatcher.nu (264 lines) ⭐ Command routing
    │   ├── mod.nu (updated)
    │   └── commands/ ⭐ Domain-focused handlers
    │       ├── configuration.nu (316 lines)
    │       ├── development.nu (72 lines)
    │       ├── generation.nu (78 lines)
    │       ├── infrastructure.nu (117 lines)
    │       ├── orchestration.nu (64 lines)
    │       ├── utilities.nu (157 lines)
    │       └── workspace.nu (56 lines)

### Key Components

#### 1. Centralized Flag Handling (`flags.nu`)

Single source of truth for all flag parsing and argument building:

    export def parse_common_flags [flags: record]: nothing -> record
    export def build_module_args [flags: record, extra: string = ""]: nothing -> string
    export def set_debug_env [flags: record]
    export def get_debug_flag [flags: record]: nothing -> string

Benefits:

- Eliminates 50+ instances of duplicate code
- Single place to add/modify flags
- Consistent flag handling across all commands
- Reduced from 10 lines to 3 lines per command handler

#### 2. Command Dispatcher (`dispatcher.nu`)

Central routing with 80+ command mappings:

    export def get_command_registry []: nothing -> record  # 80+ shortcuts
    export def dispatch_command [args: list, flags: record]  # Main router

Features:

- Command registry with shortcuts (ws → workspace, orch → orchestrator, etc.)
- Bi-directional help support (`provisioning ws help` works)
- Domain-based routing (infrastructure, orchestration, development, etc.)
- Special command handling (create, delete, price, etc.)

#### 3. Domain Command Handlers (`commands/*.nu`)

Seven focused modules organized by domain:

Module | Lines | Responsibility
--- | --- | ---
`infrastructure.nu` | 117 | Server, taskserv, cluster, infra
`orchestration.nu` | 64 | Workflow, batch, orchestrator
`development.nu` | 72 | Module, layer, version, pack
`workspace.nu` | 56 | Workspace, template
`generation.nu` | 78 | Generate commands
`utilities.nu` | 157 | SSH, SOPS, cache, providers
`configuration.nu` | 316 | Env, show, init, validate

Each handler:

- Exports `handle_<domain>_command` function
- Uses shared flag handling
- Provides error messages with usage hints
- Isolated and testable

## Architecture Principles

### 1. Separation of Concerns

- Routing → `dispatcher.nu`
- Flag parsing → `flags.nu`
- Business logic → `commands/*.nu`
- Help system → `help_system.nu` (existing)

### 2. Single Responsibility

Each module has ONE clear purpose:

- Command handlers execute specific domains
- Dispatcher routes to correct handler
- Flags module normalizes all inputs

### 3. DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself)

Eliminated repetition:

- Flag handling: 50+ instances → 1 function
- Command routing: Scattered logic → Command registry
- Error handling: Consistent across all domains

### 4. Open/Closed Principle

- Open for extension: Add new handlers easily
- Closed for modification: Core routing unchanged

### 5. Dependency Inversion

All handlers depend on abstractions (flag records, not concrete flags):

    # Handler signature
    export def handle_infrastructure_command [
      command: string
      ops: string
      flags: record  # ⬅️ Abstraction, not concrete flags
    ]

## Implementation Details

### Migration Path (Completed in 2 Phases)

Phase 1: Foundation

1. ✅ Created `commands/` directory structure
2. ✅ Created `flags.nu` with common flag handling
3. ✅ Created initial command handlers (infrastructure, utilities, configuration)
4. ✅ Created `dispatcher.nu` with routing logic
5. ✅ Refactored main file (1,329 → 211 lines)
6. ✅ Tested basic functionality

Phase 2: Completion

1. ✅ Fixed bi-directional help (`provisioning ws help` now works)
2. ✅ Created remaining handlers (orchestration, development, workspace, generation)
3. ✅ Removed duplicate code from dispatcher
4. ✅ Added comprehensive test suite
5. ✅ Verified all shortcuts work

### Bi-directional Help System

Users can now access help in multiple ways:

    # All these work equivalently:
    provisioning help workspace
    provisioning workspace help  # ⬅️ NEW: Bi-directional
    provisioning ws help         # ⬅️ NEW: With shortcuts
    provisioning help ws         # ⬅️ NEW: Shortcut in help

Implementation:

    # Intercept "command help" → "help command"
    let first_op = if ($ops_list | length) > 0 { ($ops_list | get 0) } else { "" }
    if $first_op in ["help" "h"] {
      exec $"($env.PROVISIONING_NAME)" help $task --notitles
    }

## Examples

### Before: Repetitive Flag Handling

    "server" => {
      let use_check = if $check { "--check "} else { "" }
      let use_yes = if $yes { "--yes" } else { "" }
      let use_wait = if $wait { "--wait" } else { "" }
      let use_keepstorage = if $keepstorage { "--keepstorage "} else { "" }
      let str_infra = if $infra != null  { $"--infra ($infra) "} else { "" }
      let str_outfile = if $outfile != null  { $"--outfile ($outfile) "} else { "" }
      let str_out = if $out != null  { $"--out ($out) "} else { "" }
      let arg_include_notuse = if $include_notuse { $"--include_notuse "} else { "" }
      run_module $"($str_ops) ($str_infra) ($use_check)..." "server" --exec
    }

### After: Clean, Reusable

    def handle_server [ops: string, flags: record] {
      let args = build_module_args $flags $ops
      run_module $args "server" --exec
    }

Reduction: 10 lines → 3 lines (70% reduction)

# ADR-007: KMS Service Simplification to Age and Cosmian Backends

Status: Accepted Date: 2025-10-08 Deciders: Architecture Team Related: ADR-006 (KMS Service Integration)

## Context

The KMS service initially supported 4 backends: HashiCorp Vault, AWS KMS, Age, and Cosmian KMS. This created unnecessary complexity and unclear guidance about which backend to use for different environments.

### Problems with 4-Backend Approach

1. Complexity: Supporting 4 different backends increased maintenance burden
2. Dependencies: AWS SDK added significant compile time (~30 s) and binary size
3. Confusion: No clear guidance on which backend to use when
4. Cloud Lock-in: AWS KMS dependency limited infrastructure flexibility
5. Operational Overhead: Vault requires server setup even for simple dev environments
6. Code Duplication: Similar logic implemented 4 different ways

### Key Insights

- Most development work doesn’t need server-based KMS
- Production deployments need enterprise-grade security features
- Age provides fast, offline encryption perfect for development
- Cosmian KMS offers confidential computing and zero-knowledge architecture
- Supporting Vault AND Cosmian is redundant (both are server-based KMS)
- AWS KMS locks us into AWS infrastructure

## Decision

Simplify the KMS service to support only 2 backends:

1. Age: For development and local testing

   - Fast, offline, no server required
   - Simple key generation with `age-keygen`
   - X25519 encryption (modern, secure)
   - Perfect for dev/test environments

2. Cosmian KMS: For production deployments

   - Enterprise-grade key management
   - Confidential computing support (SGX/SEV)
   - Zero-knowledge architecture
   - Server-side key rotation
   - Audit logging and compliance
   - Multi-tenant support

Remove support for:

- ❌ HashiCorp Vault (redundant with Cosmian)
- ❌ AWS KMS (cloud lock-in, complexity)

## Consequences

### Positive

1. Simpler Code: 2 backends instead of 4 reduces complexity by 50%
2. Faster Compilation: Removing AWS SDK saves ~30 seconds compile time
3. Clear Guidance: Age = dev, Cosmian = prod (no confusion)
4. Offline Development: Age works without network connectivity
5. Better Security: Cosmian provides confidential computing (TEE)
6. No Cloud Lock-in: Not dependent on AWS infrastructure
7. Easier Testing: Age backend requires no setup
8. Reduced Dependencies: Fewer external crates to maintain

### Negative

1. Migration Required: Existing Vault/AWS KMS users must migrate
2. Learning Curve: Teams must learn Age and Cosmian
3. Cosmian Dependency: Production depends on Cosmian availability
4. Cost: Cosmian may have licensing costs (cloud or self-hosted)

### Neutral

1. Feature Parity: Cosmian provides all features Vault/AWS had
2. API Compatibility: Encrypt/decrypt API remains primarily the same
3. Configuration Change: TOML config structure updated but similar

## Implementation

### Files Created

1. `src/age/client.rs` (167 lines) - Age encryption client
2. `src/age/mod.rs` (3 lines) - Age module exports

4. `src/cosmian/mod.rs` (3 lines) - Cosmian module exports
5. `docs/migration/KMS_SIMPLIFICATION.md` (500+ lines) - Migration guide

### Files Modified

1. `src/lib.rs` - Updated exports (age, cosmian instead of aws, vault)
2. `src/types.rs` - Updated error types and config enum
3. `src/service.rs` - Simplified to 2 backends (180 lines, was 213)
4. `Cargo.toml` - Removed AWS deps, added `age = "0.10"`
5. `README.md` - Complete rewrite for new backends
6. `provisioning/config/kms.toml` - Simplified configuration

### Files Deleted

1. `src/aws/client.rs` - AWS KMS client
2. `src/aws/envelope.rs` - Envelope encryption helpers
3. `src/aws/mod.rs` - AWS module
4. `src/vault/client.rs` - Vault client
5. `src/vault/mod.rs` - Vault module

### Dependencies Changed

Removed:

- `aws-sdk-kms = "1"`
- `aws-config = "1"`
- `aws-credential-types = "1"`
- `aes-gcm = "0.10"` (was only for AWS envelope encryption)

Added:

- `age = "0.10"`
- `tempfile = "3"` (dev dependency for tests)

Kept:

- All Axum web framework deps
- `reqwest` (for Cosmian HTTP API)
- `base64`, `serde`, `tokio`, etc.

## Migration Path

### For Development

    # 1. Install Age
    brew install age  # or apt install age

    # 2. Generate keys
    age-keygen -o ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt
    age-keygen -y ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt > ~/.config/provisioning/age/public_key.txt

    # 3. Update config to use Age backend
    # 4. Re-encrypt development secrets

### For Production

    # 1. Set up Cosmian KMS (cloud or self-hosted)
    # 2. Create master key in Cosmian
    # 3. Migrate secrets from Vault/AWS to Cosmian
    # 4. Update production config
    # 5. Deploy new KMS service

See `docs/migration/KMS_SIMPLIFICATION.md` for detailed steps.

### Alternative 4: Age + HashiCorp Vault

Pros:

- Vault is widely known
- No Cosmian dependency

Cons:

- Vault lacks confidential computing
- Vault server still required
- No zero-knowledge architecture

Rejected: Cosmian provides better security features

## Metrics

### Code Reduction

- Total Lines Removed: ~800 lines (AWS + Vault implementations)
- Total Lines Added: ~470 lines (Age + Cosmian + docs)
- Net Reduction: ~330 lines

### Dependency Reduction

- Crates Removed: 4 (aws-sdk-kms, aws-config, aws-credential-types, aes-gcm)
- Crates Added: 1 (age)
- Net Reduction: 3 crates

### Compilation Time

- Before: ~90 seconds (with AWS SDK)
- After: ~60 seconds (without AWS SDK)
- Improvement: 33% faster

## Compliance

### Security Considerations

1. Age Security: X25519 (Curve25519) encryption, modern and secure
2. Cosmian Security: Confidential computing, zero-knowledge, enterprise-grade
3. No Regression: Security features maintained or improved
4. Clear Separation: Dev (Age) never used for production secrets

### Testing Requirements

1. Unit Tests: Both backends have comprehensive test coverage
2. Integration Tests: Age tests run without external deps
3. Cosmian Tests: Require test server (marked as `#[ignore]`)
4. Migration Tests: Verify old configs fail gracefully

# ADR-008: Cedar Authorization Policy Engine Integration

Status: Accepted Date: 2025-10-08 Deciders: Architecture Team Tags: security, authorization, cedar, policy-engine

## Context and Problem Statement

The Provisioning platform requires fine-grained authorization controls to manage access to infrastructure resources across multiple environments (development, staging, production). The authorization system must:

1. Support complex authorization rules (MFA, IP restrictions, time windows, approvals)
2. Be auditable and version-controlled
3. Allow hot-reload of policies without restart
4. Integrate with JWT tokens for identity
5. Scale to thousands of authorization decisions per second
6. Be maintainable by security team without code changes

Traditional code-based authorization (if/else statements) is difficult to audit, maintain, and scale.

## Decision Drivers

- Security: Critical for production infrastructure access
- Auditability: Compliance requirements demand clear authorization policies
- Flexibility: Policies change more frequently than code
- Performance: Low-latency authorization decisions (<10 ms)
- Maintainability: Security team should update policies without developers
- Type Safety: Prevent policy errors before deployment

## Considered Options

### Option 1: Code-Based Authorization (Current State)

Implement authorization logic directly in Rust/Nushell code.

Pros:

- Full control and flexibility
- No external dependencies
- Simple to understand for small use cases

Cons:

- Hard to audit and maintain
- Requires code deployment for policy changes
- No type safety for policies
- Difficult to test all combinations
- Not declarative

### Option 2: OPA (Open Policy Agent)

Use OPA with Rego policy language.

Pros:

- Industry standard
- Rich ecosystem
- Rego is powerful

Cons:

- Rego is complex to learn
- Requires separate service deployment
- Performance overhead (HTTP calls)
- Policies not type-checked

### Option 3: Cedar Policy Engine (Chosen)

Use AWS Cedar policy language integrated directly into orchestrator.

Pros:

- Type-safe policy language
- Fast (compiled, no network overhead)
- Schema-based validation
- Declarative and auditable
- Hot-reload support
- Rust library (no external service)
- Deny-by-default security model

Cons:

- Recently introduced (2023)
- Smaller ecosystem than OPA
- Learning curve for policy authors

### Option 4: Casbin

Use Casbin authorization library.

Pros:

- Multiple policy models (ACL, RBAC, ABAC)
- Rust bindings available

Cons:

- Less declarative than Cedar
- Weaker type safety
- More imperative style

## Decision Outcome

Chosen Option: Option 3 - Cedar Policy Engine

### Rationale

1. Type Safety: Cedar’s schema validation prevents policy errors before deployment
2. Performance: Native Rust library, no network overhead, <1 ms authorization decisions
3. Auditability: Declarative policies in version control
4. Hot Reload: Update policies without orchestrator restart
5. AWS Standard: Used in production by AWS for AVP (Amazon Verified Permissions)
6. Deny-by-Default: Secure by design

#### Key Components

1. CedarEngine: Core authorization engine

   - Load policies from strings
   - Load schema for validation
   - Authorize requests
   - Policy statistics

2. PolicyLoader: File-based policy management

   - Load policies from directory
   - Hot reload on file changes (notify crate)
   - Validate policy syntax
   - Schema validation

3. Authorization Middleware: Axum integration

   - Extract JWT claims
   - Build authorization context (IP, MFA, time)
   - Check authorization
   - Return 403 Forbidden on deny

4. Policy Files: Declarative authorization rules

   - Production: MFA, approvals, IP restrictions, business hours
   - Development: Permissive for developers
   - Admin: Platform admin, SRE, audit team policies

#### Context Variables

    AuthorizationContext {
        mfa_verified: bool,          // MFA verification status
        ip_address: String,          // Client IP address
        time: String,                // ISO 8601 timestamp
        approval_id: Option<String>, // Approval ID (optional)
        reason: Option<String>,      // Reason for operation
        force: bool,                 // Force flag
        additional: HashMap,         // Additional context
    }

#### Example Policy

    // Production deployments require MFA verification
    @id("prod-deploy-mfa")
    @description("All production deployments must have MFA verification")
    permit (
      principal,
      action == Provisioning::Action::"deploy",
      resource in Provisioning::Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      context.mfa_verified == true
    };

### Integration Points

1. JWT Tokens: Extract principal and context from validated JWT
2. Audit System: Log all authorization decisions
3. Control Center: UI for policy management and testing
4. CLI: Policy validation and testing commands

### Security Best Practices

1. Deny by Default: Cedar defaults to deny all actions
2. Schema Validation: Type-check policies before loading
3. Version Control: All policies in git for auditability
4. Principle of Least Privilege: Grant minimum necessary permissions
5. Defense in Depth: Combine with JWT validation and rate limiting
6. Separation of Concerns: Security team owns policies, developers own code

## Consequences

### Positive

1. ✅ Auditable: All policies in version control
2. ✅ Type-Safe: Schema validation prevents errors
3. ✅ Fast: <1 ms authorization decisions
4. ✅ Maintainable: Security team can update policies independently
5. ✅ Hot Reload: No downtime for policy updates
6. ✅ Testable: Comprehensive test suite for policies
7. ✅ Declarative: Clear intent, no hidden logic

### Negative

1. ❌ Learning Curve: Team must learn Cedar policy language
2. ❌ New Technology: Cedar is relatively new (2023)
3. ❌ Ecosystem: Smaller community than OPA
4. ❌ Tooling: Limited IDE support compared to Rego

### Neutral

1. 🔶 Migration: Existing authorization logic needs migration to Cedar
2. 🔶 Policy Complexity: Complex rules may be harder to express
3. 🔶 Debugging: Policy debugging requires understanding Cedar evaluation

## Compliance

### Security Standards

- SOC 2: Auditable access control policies
- ISO 27001: Access control management
- GDPR: Data access authorization and logging
- NIST 800-53: AC-3 Access Enforcement

### Audit Requirements

All authorization decisions include:

- Principal (user/team)
- Action performed
- Resource accessed
- Context (MFA, IP, time)
- Decision (allow/deny)
- Policies evaluated

## Migration Path

### Phase 1: Implementation (Completed)

- ✅ Cedar engine integration
- ✅ Policy loader with hot reload
- ✅ Authorization middleware
- ✅ Production, development, and admin policies
- ✅ Comprehensive tests

### Phase 2: Rollout (Next)

- 🔲 Enable Cedar authorization in orchestrator
- 🔲 Migrate existing authorization logic to Cedar policies
- 🔲 Add authorization checks to all API endpoints
- 🔲 Integrate with audit logging

### Phase 3: Enhancement (Future)

- 🔲 Control Center policy editor UI
- 🔲 Policy testing UI
- 🔲 Policy simulation and dry-run mode
- 🔲 Policy analytics and insights
- 🔲 Advanced context variables (location, device type)

## Alternatives Considered

### Alternative 1: Continue with Code-Based Authorization

Keep authorization logic in Rust/Nushell code.

Rejected Because:

- Not auditable
- Requires code changes for policy updates
- Difficult to test all combinations
- Not compliant with security standards

### Alternative 2: Hybrid Approach

Use Cedar for high-level policies, code for fine-grained checks.

Rejected Because:

- Complexity of two authorization systems
- Unclear separation of concerns
- Harder to audit

# ADR-010: Configuration File Format Strategy

Status: Accepted Date: 2025-12-03 Decision Makers: Architecture Team Implementation: Multi-phase migration (KCL workspace configs + template reorganization)

## Context

The provisioning project historically used a single configuration format (YAML/TOML environment variables) for all purposes. As the system evolved, different parts naturally adopted different formats:

- TOML for modular provider and platform configurations (`providers/*.toml`, `platform/*.toml`)
- KCL for infrastructure-as-code definitions with type safety
- YAML for workspace metadata

However, the workspace configuration remained in YAML (`provisioning.yaml`), creating inconsistency and leaving type-unsafe configuration handling. Meanwhile, complete KCL schemas for workspace configuration were designed but unused.

Problem: Three different formats in the same system without documented rationale or consistent patterns.

## Decision

Adopt a three-format strategy with clear separation of concerns:

Format | Purpose | Use Cases
--- | --- | ---
KCL | Infrastructure as Code & Schemas | Workspace config, infrastructure definitions, type-safe validation
TOML | Application Configuration & Settings | System defaults, provider settings, user preferences, interpolation
YAML | Metadata & Kubernetes Resources | K8s manifests, tool metadata, version tracking, CI/CD resources

## Implementation Strategy

### Phase 1: Documentation (Complete)

Define and document the three-format approach through:

1. ADR-010 (this document) - Rationale and strategy
2. CLAUDE.md updates - Quick reference for developers
3. Configuration hierarchy - Explicit precedence rules

### Phase 2: Workspace Config Migration (In Progress)

Migrate workspace configuration from YAML to KCL:

1. Create comprehensive workspace configuration schema in KCL
2. Implement backward-compatible config loader (KCL first, fallback to YAML)
3. Provide migration script to convert existing workspaces
4. Update workspace initialization to generate KCL configs

Expected Outcome:

- `workspace/config/provisioning.ncl` (KCL, type-safe, validated)
- Full schema validation with semantic versioning checks
- Automatic validation at config load time

### Phase 3: Template File Reorganization (In Progress)

Move template files to proper directory structure and correct extensions:

    Previous (KCL):
      provisioning/kcl/templates/*.k  (had Nushell/Jinja2 code, not KCL)

    Current (Nickel):
      provisioning/templates/
        ├── nushell/*.nu.j2
        ├── config/*.toml.j2
        ├── nickel/*.ncl.j2
        └── README.md

Expected Outcome:

- Templates properly classified and discoverable
- KCL validation passes (15/16 errors eliminated)
- Template system clean and maintainable

## Rationale for Each Format

### KCL for Workspace Configuration

Why KCL over YAML or TOML?

1. Type Safety: Catch configuration errors at schema validation time, not runtime

       schema WorkspaceDeclaration:
           metadata: Metadata
           check:
               regex.match(metadata.version, r"^\d+\.\d+\.\d+$"), \
                   "Version must be semantic versioning"

2. Schema-First Development: Schemas are first-class citizens

   - Document expected structure upfront
   - IDE support for auto-completion
   - Enforce required fields and value ranges

3. Immutable by Default: Infrastructure configurations are immutable

   - Prevents accidental mutations
   - Better for reproducible deployments
   - Aligns with PAP principle: “configuration-driven, not hardcoded”

4. Complex Validation: KCL supports sophisticated validation rules

   - Semantic versioning validation
   - Dependency checking
   - Cross-field validation
   - Range constraints on numeric values

5. Ecosystem Consistency: KCL is already used for infrastructure definitions

   - Server configurations use KCL
   - Cluster definitions use KCL
   - Taskserv definitions use KCL
   - Using KCL for workspace config maintains consistency

6. Existing Schemas: `provisioning/kcl/generator/declaration.ncl` already defines complete workspace schemas

   - No design work needed
   - Production-ready schemas
   - Well-tested patterns

### TOML for Application Configuration

Why TOML for settings?

1. Hierarchical Structure: Native support for nested configurations

       [http]
       use_curl = false
       timeout = 30

       [debug]
       enabled = false
       log_level = "info"

2. Interpolation Support: Dynamic variable substitution

       base_path = "/Users/home/provisioning"
       cache_path = "{{base_path}}/.cache"

3. Industry Standard: Widely used for application configuration (Rust, Python, Go)

4. Human Readable: Clear, explicit, easy to edit

5. Validation Support: Schema files (`.schema.toml`) for validation

Use Cases:

- System defaults: `provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml`
- Provider settings: `workspace/config/providers/*.toml`
- Platform services: `workspace/config/platform/*.toml`
- User preferences: User config files

### YAML for Metadata and Kubernetes Resources

Why YAML for metadata?

1. Kubernetes Compatibility: YAML is K8s standard

   - K8s manifests use YAML
   - Consistent with ecosystem
   - Familiar to DevOps engineers

2. Lightweight: Good for simple data structures

       workspace:
         name: "librecloud"
         version: "1.0.0"
         created: "2025-10-06T12:29:43Z"

3. Version Control: Human-readable format

   - Diffs are clear and meaningful
   - Git-friendly
   - Comments supported

Use Cases:

- K8s resource definitions
- Tool metadata (versions, sources, tags)
- CI/CD configuration files
- User workspace metadata (during transition)

## Configuration Hierarchy (Priority)

When loading configuration, use this precedence (highest to lowest):

1. Runtime Arguments (highest priority)

   - CLI flags passed to commands
   - Explicit user input

2. Environment Variables (PROVISIONING_*)

   - Override system settings
   - Deployment-specific overrides
   - Secrets via env vars

3. User Configuration (Centralized)

   - User preferences: `~/.config/provisioning/user_config.yaml`
   - User workspace overrides: `workspace/config/local-overrides.toml`

4. Infrastructure Configuration

   - Workspace KCL config: `workspace/config/provisioning.ncl`
   - Platform services: `workspace/config/platform/*.toml`
   - Provider configs: `workspace/config/providers/*.toml`

5. System Defaults (lowest priority)

   - System config: `provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml`
   - Schema defaults: defined in KCL schemas

## Migration Path

### For Existing Workspaces

1. Migration Path: Config loader checks for `.ncl` first, then falls back to `.yaml` for legacy systems

       # Try Nickel first (current)
       if ($config_nickel | path exists) {
           let config = (load_nickel_workspace_config $config_nickel)
       } else if ($config_yaml | path exists) {
           # Legacy YAML support (from pre-migration)
           let config = (open $config_yaml)
       }

2. Automatic Migration: Migration script converts YAML/KCL → Nickel

       provisioning workspace migrate-config --all

3. Validation: New KCL configs validated against schemas

### For New Workspaces

1. Generate KCL: Workspace initialization creates `.k` files

       provisioning workspace create my-workspace
       # Creates: workspace/my-workspace/config/provisioning.ncl

2. Use Existing Schemas: Leverage `provisioning/kcl/generator/declaration.ncl`

3. Schema Validation: Automatic validation during config load

## File Format Guidelines for Developers

### When to Use Each Format

Use KCL for:

- Infrastructure definitions (servers, clusters, taskservs)
- Configuration with type requirements
- Schema definitions
- Any config that needs validation rules
- Workspace configuration

Use TOML for:

- Application settings (HTTP client, logging, timeouts)
- Provider-specific settings
- Platform service configuration
- User preferences and overrides
- System defaults with interpolation

Use YAML for:

- Kubernetes manifests
- CI/CD configuration (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
- Tool metadata
- Human-readable documentation files
- Version control metadata

## Consequences

### Benefits

✅ Type Safety: KCL schema validation catches config errors early ✅ Consistency: Infrastructure definitions and configs use same language ✅ Maintainability: Clear separation of concerns (IaC vs settings vs metadata) ✅ Validation: Semantic versioning, required fields, range checks ✅ Tooling: IDE support for KCL auto-completion ✅ Documentation: Self-documenting schemas with descriptions ✅ Ecosystem Alignment: TOML for settings (Rust standard), YAML for K8s

### Trade-offs

⚠️ Learning Curve: Developers must understand three formats ⚠️ Migration Effort: Existing YAML configs need conversion ⚠️ Tooling Requirements: KCL compiler needed (already a dependency)

### Risk Mitigation

1. Documentation: Clear guidelines in CLAUDE.md
2. Backward Compatibility: YAML support maintained during transition
3. Automation: Migration scripts for existing workspaces
4. Gradual Migration: No hard cutoff, both formats supported for extended period

## Template File Reorganization

### Problem

Currently, 15/16 files in `provisioning/kcl/templates/` have `.k` extension but contain Nushell/Jinja2 code, not KCL:

    provisioning/kcl/templates/
    ├── server.ncl          # Actually Nushell/Jinja2 template
    ├── taskserv.ncl        # Actually Nushell/Jinja2 template
    └── ...               # 15 more template files

This causes:

- KCL validation failures (96.6% of errors)
- Misclassification (templates in KCL directory)
- Confusing directory structure

### Solution

Reorganize into type-specific directories:

    provisioning/templates/
    ├── nushell/           # Nushell code generation (*.nu.j2)
    │   ├── server.nu.j2
    │   ├── taskserv.nu.j2
    │   └── ...
    ├── config/            # Config file generation (*.toml.j2, *.yaml.j2)
    │   ├── provider.toml.j2
    │   └── ...
    ├── kcl/               # KCL file generation (*.k.j2)
    │   ├── workspace.ncl.j2
    │   └── ...
    └── README.md

### Outcome

✅ Correct file classification ✅ KCL validation passes completely ✅ Clear template organization ✅ Easier to discover and maintain templates

## References

# ADR-011: Migration from KCL to Nickel

Status: Implemented Date: 2025-12-15 Decision Makers: Architecture Team Implementation: Complete for platform schemas (100%)

## Context

The provisioning platform historically used KCL (KLang) as the primary infrastructure-as-code language for all configuration schemas. As the system evolved through four migration phases (Foundation, Core, Complex, Highly Complex), KCL’s limitations became increasingly apparent:

### Problems with KCL

1. Complex Type System: Heavyweight schema system with extensive boilerplate

   - `schema Foo(bar.Baz)` inheritance creates rigid hierarchies
   - Union types with `null` don’t work well in type annotations
   - Schema modifications propagate breaking changes

2. Limited Flexibility: Schema-first approach is too rigid for configuration evolution

   - Difficult to extend types without modifying base schemas
   - No easy way to add custom fields without validation conflicts
   - Hard to compose configurations dynamically

3. Import System Overhead: Non-standard module imports

   - `import provisioning.lib as lib` pattern differs from ecosystem standards
   - Re-export patterns create complexity in extension systems

4. Performance Overhead: Compile-time validation adds latency

   - Schema validation happens at compile time
   - Large configuration files slow down evaluation
   - No lazy evaluation built-in

5. Learning Curve: KCL is Python-like but with unique patterns

   - Team must learn KCL-specific semantics
   - Limited ecosystem and tooling support
   - Difficult to hire developers familiar with KCL

### Project Needs

The provisioning system required:

- Greater flexibility in composing configurations
- Better performance for large-scale deployments
- Extensibility without modifying base schemas
- Simpler mental model for team learning
- Clean exports to JSON/TOML/YAML formats

## Decision

Adopt Nickel as the primary infrastructure-as-code language for all schema definitions, configuration composition, and deployment declarations.

### Key Changes

1. Three-File Pattern per Module:

   - `{module}_contracts.ncl` - Type definitions using Nickel contracts
   - `{module}_defaults.ncl` - Default values for all fields
   - `{module}.ncl` - Instances combining both, with hybrid interface

2. Hybrid Interface (4 levels of access):

   - Level 1: Direct access to defaults (inspection, reference)
   - Level 2: Maker functions (90% of use cases)
   - Level 3: Default instances (pre-built, exported)
   - Level 4: Contracts (optional imports, advanced combinations)

3. Domain-Organized Architecture (8 top-level domains):

   - `lib` - Core library types
   - `config` - Settings, defaults, workspace configuration
   - `infrastructure` - Compute, storage, provisioning schemas
   - `operations` - Workflows, batch, dependencies, tasks
   - `deployment` - Kubernetes, execution modes
   - `services` - Gitea and other platform services
   - `generator` - Code generation and declarations
   - `integrations` - Runtime, GitOps, external integrations

4. Two Deployment Modes:

   - Development: Fast iteration with relative imports (Single Source of Truth)
   - Production: Frozen snapshots with immutable, self-contained deployment packages

## Implementation Summary

### Migration Complete

Metric | Value
--- | ---
KCL files migrated | 40
Nickel files created | 72
Modules converted | 24 core modules
Schemas migrated | 150+
Maker functions | 80+
Default instances | 90+
JSON output validation | 4,680+ lines

### Platform Schemas (`provisioning/schemas/`)

- 422 Nickel files total
- 8 domains with hierarchical organization
- Entry point: `main.ncl` with domain-organized architecture
- Clean imports: `provisioning.lib`, `provisioning.config.settings`, etc.

### Extensions (`provisioning/extensions/`)

- 4 providers: hetzner, local, aws, upcloud
- 1 cluster type: web
- Consistent structure: Each extension has `nickel/` subdirectory with contracts, defaults, main, version

Example - UpCloud Provider:

    # upcloud/nickel/main.ncl (migrated from upcloud/kcl/)
    let contracts = import "./contracts.ncl" in
    let defaults = import "./defaults.ncl" in

    {
      defaults = defaults,
      make_storage | not_exported = fun overrides =>
        defaults.storage & overrides,
      DefaultStorage = defaults.storage,
      DefaultStorageBackup = defaults.storage_backup,
      DefaultProvisionEnv = defaults.provision_env,
      DefaultProvisionUpcloud = defaults.provision_upcloud,
      DefaultServerDefaults_upcloud = defaults.server_defaults_upcloud,
      DefaultServerUpcloud = defaults.server_upcloud,
    }

### Active Workspaces (`workspace_librecloud/nickel/`)

- 47 Nickel files in productive use
- 2 infrastructures:
  - `wuji` - Kubernetes cluster with 20 taskservs
  - `sgoyol` - Support servers group
- Two deployment modes fully implemented and tested
- Daily production usage validated ✅

### Backward Compatibility

- 955 KCL files remain in workspaces/ (legacy user configs)
- 100% backward compatible - old KCL code still works
- Config loader supports both formats during transition
- No breaking changes to APIs

## Comparison: KCL vs Nickel

Aspect | KCL | Nickel | Winner
--- | --- | --- | ---
Mental Model | Python-like with schemas | JSON with functions | Nickel
Performance | Baseline | 60% faster evaluation | Nickel
Type System | Rigid schemas | Gradual typing + contracts | Nickel
Composition | Schema inheritance | Record merging (`&`) | Nickel
Extensibility | Requires schema modifications | Merging with custom fields | Nickel
Validation | Compile-time (overhead) | Runtime contracts (lazy) | Nickel
Boilerplate | High | Low (3-file pattern) | Nickel
Exports | JSON/YAML | JSON/TOML/YAML | Nickel
Learning Curve | Medium-High | Low | Nickel
Lazy Evaluation | No | Yes (built-in) | Nickel

## Architecture Patterns

### Three-File Pattern

File 1: Contracts (`batch_contracts.ncl`):

    {
      BatchScheduler = {
        strategy | String,
        resource_limits,
        scheduling_interval | Number,
        enable_preemption | Bool,
      },
    }

File 2: Defaults (`batch_defaults.ncl`):

    {
      scheduler = {
        strategy = "dependency_first",
        resource_limits = {"max_cpu_cores" = 0},
        scheduling_interval = 10,
        enable_preemption = false,
      },
    }

File 3: Main (`batch.ncl`):

    let contracts = import "./batch_contracts.ncl" in
    let defaults = import "./batch_defaults.ncl" in

    {
      defaults = defaults,                    # Level 1: Inspection
      make_scheduler | not_exported = fun o =>
        defaults.scheduler & o,               # Level 2: Makers
      DefaultScheduler = defaults.scheduler,  # Level 3: Instances
    }

### Hybrid Pattern Benefits

- 90% of users: Use makers for simple customization
- 9% of users: Reference defaults for inspection
- 1% of users: Access contracts for advanced combinations
- No validation conflicts: Record merging works without contract constraints

### Domain-Organized Architecture

    provisioning/schemas/
    ├── lib/                  # Storage, TaskServDef, ClusterDef
    ├── config/               # Settings, defaults, workspace_config
    ├── infrastructure/       # Compute, storage, provisioning
    ├── operations/           # Workflows, batch, dependencies, tasks
    ├── deployment/           # Kubernetes, modes (solo, multiuser, cicd, enterprise)
    ├── services/             # Gitea, etc
    ├── generator/            # Declarations, gap analysis, changes
    ├── integrations/         # Runtime, GitOps, main
    └── main.ncl              # Entry point with namespace organization

Import pattern:

    let provisioning = import "./main.ncl" in
    provisioning.lib              # For Storage, TaskServDef
    provisioning.config.settings  # For Settings, Defaults
    provisioning.infrastructure.compute.server
    provisioning.operations.workflows

## Production Deployment Patterns

### Two-Mode Strategy

#### 1. Development Mode (Single Source of Truth)

- Relative imports to central provisioning
- Fast iteration with immediate schema updates
- No snapshot overhead
- Usage: Local development, testing, experimentation

    # workspace_librecloud/nickel/main.ncl
    import "../../provisioning/schemas/main.ncl"
    import "../../provisioning/extensions/taskservs/kubernetes/nickel/main.ncl"

#### 2. Production Mode (Hermetic Deployment)

Create immutable snapshots for reproducible deployments:

    provisioning workspace freeze --version "2025-12-15-prod-v1" --env production

Frozen structure (`.frozen/{version}/`):

    ├── provisioning/schemas/    # Snapshot of central schemas
    ├── extensions/              # Snapshot of all extensions
    └── workspace/               # Snapshot of workspace configs

All imports rewritten to local paths:

- `import "../../provisioning/schemas/main.ncl"` → `import "./provisioning/schemas/main.ncl"`
- Guarantees immutability and reproducibility
- No external dependencies
- Can be deployed to air-gapped environments

Deploy from frozen snapshot:

    provisioning deploy --frozen "2025-12-15-prod-v1" --infra wuji

Benefits:

- ✅ Development: Fast iteration with central updates
- ✅ Production: Immutable, reproducible deployments
- ✅ Audit trail: Each frozen version timestamped
- ✅ Rollback: Easy rollback to previous versions
- ✅ Air-gapped: Works in offline environments

## Ecosystem Integration

### TypeDialog (Bidirectional Nickel Integration)

Location: `/Users/Akasha/Development/typedialog` Purpose: Type-safe prompts, forms, and schemas with Nickel output

Key Feature: Nickel schemas → Type-safe UIs → Nickel output

    # Nickel schema → Interactive form
    typedialog form --schema server.ncl --output json

    # Interactive form → Nickel output
    typedialog form --input form.toml --output nickel

Value: Amplifies Nickel ecosystem beyond IaC:

- Schemas auto-generate type-safe UIs
- Forms output configurations back to Nickel
- Multiple backends: CLI, TUI, Web
- Multiple output formats: JSON, YAML, TOML, Nickel

## Technical Patterns

### Expression-Based Structure

KCL | Nickel
--- | ---
Multiple top-level let bindings | Single root expression with `let...in` chaining

### Schema Inheritance → Record Merging

KCL | Nickel
--- | ---
`schema Server(defaults.ServerDefaults)` | `defaults.ServerDefaults & { overrides }`

### Optional Fields

KCL | Nickel
--- | ---
`field?: type` | `field = null` or `field = ""`

### Union Types

KCL | Nickel
--- | ---
`"ubuntu" &#124; "debian" &#124; "centos"` | `[\\&#124; 'ubuntu, 'debian, 'centos \\&#124;]`

### Boolean/Null Conversion

KCL | Nickel
--- | ---
`True` / `False` / `None` | `true` / `false` / `null`

# ADR-014: Nushell Nickel Plugin - CLI Wrapper Architecture

## Status

Accepted - 2025-12-15

## Context

The provisioning system integrates with Nickel for configuration management in advanced scenarios. Users need to evaluate Nickel files and work with their output in Nushell scripts. The `nu_plugin_nickel` plugin provides this integration.

The architectural decision was whether the plugin should:

1. Implement Nickel directly using pure Rust (`nickel-lang-core` crate)
2. Wrap the official Nickel CLI (`nickel` command)

### System Requirements

Nickel configurations in provisioning use the module system:

    # config/database.ncl
    import "lib/defaults" as defaults
    import "lib/validation" as valid

    {
      databases: {
        primary = defaults.database & {
          name = "primary"
          host = "localhost"
        }
      }
    }

Module system includes:

- Import resolution with search paths
- Standard library (`builtins`, stdlib packages)
- Module caching
- Complex evaluation context

## Decision

Implement the `nu_plugin_nickel` plugin as a CLI wrapper that invokes the external `nickel` command.

### Implementation Characteristics

Plugin provides:

- ✅ Nushell commands: `nickel-export`, `nickel-eval`, `nickel-format`, `nickel-validate`
- ✅ JSON/YAML output parsing (serde_json → nu_protocol::Value)
- ✅ Automatic caching (SHA256-based, ~80-90% hit rate)
- ✅ Error handling (CLI errors → Nushell errors)
- ✅ Type-safe output (nu_protocol::Value::Record, not strings)

Plugin delegates to Nickel CLI:

- ✅ Module resolution with search paths
- ✅ Standard library access and discovery
- ✅ Evaluation context setup
- ✅ Module caching
- ✅ Output formatting

## Rationale

### Why CLI Wrapper Is The Correct Choice

Aspect | Pure Rust (nickel-lang-core) | CLI Wrapper (chosen)
--- | --- | ---
Module resolution | ❓ Undocumented API | ✅ Official, proven
Search paths | ❓ How to configure? | ✅ CLI handles it
Standard library | ❓ How to access? | ✅ Automatic discovery
Import system | ❌ API unclear | ✅ Built-in
Evaluation context | ❌ Complex setup needed | ✅ CLI provides
Future versions | ⚠️ Maintain parity | ✅ Automatic support
Maintenance burden | 🔴 High | 🟢 Low
Complexity | 🔴 High | 🟢 Low
Correctness | ⚠️ Risk of divergence | ✅ Single source of truth

### The Module System Problem

Using `nickel-lang-core` directly would require the plugin to:

1. Configure import search paths:

       // Where should Nickel look for modules?
       // Current directory? Workspace? System paths?
       // This is complex and configuration-dependent

2. Access standard library:

       // Where is the Nickel stdlib installed?
       // How to handle different Nickel versions?
       // How to provide builtins?

3. Manage module evaluation context:

       // Set up evaluation environment
       // Configure cache locations
       // Initialize type checker
       // This is essentially re-implementing CLI logic

4. Maintain compatibility:

   - Every Nickel version change requires review
   - Risk of subtle behavioral differences
   - Duplicate bug fixes and features
   - Two implementations to maintain

### Documentation Gap

The `nickel-lang-core` crate lacks clear documentation on:

- ❓ How to configure import search paths
- ❓ How to access standard library
- ❓ How to set up evaluation context
- ❓ What is the public API contract?

This makes direct usage risky. The CLI is the documented, proven interface.

### Why Nickel Is Different From Simple Use Cases

Simple use case (direct library usage works):

- Simple evaluation with built-in functions
- No external dependencies
- No modules or imports

Nickel reality (CLI wrapper necessary):

- Complex module system with search paths
- External dependencies (standard library)
- Import resolution with multiple fallbacks
- Evaluation context that mirrors CLI

## Consequences

### Positive

- Correctness: Module resolution guaranteed by official Nickel CLI
- Reliability: No risk from reverse-engineering undocumented APIs
- Simplicity: Plugin code is lean (~300 lines total)
- Maintainability: Automatic tracking of Nickel changes
- Compatibility: Works with all Nickel versions
- User Expectations: Same behavior as CLI users experience
- Community Alignment: Uses official Nickel distribution

### Negative

- External Dependency: Requires `nickel` binary installed in PATH
- Process Overhead: ~100-200 ms per execution (heavily cached)
- Subprocess Management: Spawn handling and stderr capture needed
- Distribution: Provisioning must include Nickel binary

### Mitigation Strategies

Dependency Management:

- Installation scripts handle Nickel setup
- Docker images pre-install Nickel
- Clear error messages if `nickel` not found
- Documentation covers installation

Performance:

- Aggressive caching (80-90% typical hit rate)
- Cache hits: ~1-5 ms (not 100-200 ms)
- Cache directory: `~/.cache/provisioning/config-cache/`

Distribution:

- Provisioning distributions include Nickel
- Installers set up Nickel automatically
- CI/CD has Nickel available

## Alternatives Considered

### Alternative 1: Pure Rust with nickel-lang-core

Pros: No external dependency Cons: Undocumented API, high risk, maintenance burden Decision: REJECTED - Too risky

### Alternative 2: Hybrid (Pure Rust + CLI fallback)

Pros: Flexibility Cons: Adds complexity, dual code paths, confusing behavior Decision: REJECTED - Over-engineering

### Alternative 3: WebAssembly Version

Pros: Standalone Cons: WASM support unclear, additional infrastructure Decision: REJECTED - Immature

### Alternative 4: Use Nickel LSP

Pros: Uses official interface Cons: LSP not designed for evaluation, wrong abstraction Decision: REJECTED - Inappropriate tool

## Implementation Details

### Command Set

1. nickel-export: Export/evaluate Nickel file

       nickel-export json /path/to/file.ncl
       nickel-export yaml /path/to/file.ncl

2. nickel-eval: Evaluate with automatic caching (for config loader)

       nickel-eval /workspace/config.ncl

3. nickel-format: Format Nickel files

       nickel-format /path/to/file.ncl

4. nickel-validate: Validate Nickel files/project

       nickel-validate /path/to/project

### Critical Implementation Detail: Command Syntax

The plugin uses the correct Nickel command syntax:

    // Correct:
    cmd.arg("export").arg(file).arg("--format").arg(format);
    // Results in: "nickel export /file --format json"

    // WRONG (previously):
    cmd.arg("export").arg(format).arg(file);
    // Results in: "nickel export json /file"
    // ↑ This triggers auto-import of nonexistent JSON module

### Caching Strategy

Cache Key: SHA256(file_content + format) Cache Hit Rate: 80-90% (typical provisioning workflows) Performance:

- Cache miss: ~100-200 ms (process fork)
- Cache hit: ~1-5 ms (filesystem read + parse)
- Speedup: 50-100x for cached runs

Storage: `~/.cache/provisioning/config-cache/`

### JSON Output Processing

Plugin correctly processes JSON output:

1. Invokes: `nickel export /file.ncl --format json`
2. Receives: JSON string from stdout
3. Parses: serde_json::Value
4. Converts: `json_value_to_nu_value()` (recursive)
5. Returns: nu_protocol::Value::Record (not string!)

This enables Nushell cell path access:

    nickel-export json /config.ncl | .database.host  # ✅ Works

## Testing Strategy

Unit Tests:

- JSON parsing correctness
- Value type conversions
- Cache logic

Integration Tests:

- Real Nickel file execution
- Module imports verification
- Search path resolution

Manual Verification:

    # Test module imports
    nickel-export json /workspace/config.ncl

    # Test cell path access
    nickel-export json /workspace/config.ncl | .database

    # Verify output types
    nickel-export json /workspace/config.ncl | type
    # Should show: record, not string

## Configuration Integration

Plugin integrates with provisioning config system:

- Nickel path auto-detected: `which nickel`
- Cache location: platform-specific `cache_dir()`
- Errors: consistent with provisioning patterns

# ADR-013: Typdialog Web UI Backend Integration for Interactive Configuration

## Status

Accepted - 2025-01-08

## Context

The provisioning system requires interactive user input for configuration workflows, workspace initialization, credential setup, and guided deployment scenarios. The system architecture combines Rust (performance-critical), Nushell (scripting), and Nickel (declarative configuration), creating challenges for interactive form-based input and multi-user collaboration.

### The Interactive Configuration Problem

Current limitations:

1. Nushell CLI: Terminal-only interaction

   - `input` command: Single-line text prompts only
   - No form validation, no complex multi-field forms
   - Limited to single-user, terminal-bound workflows
   - User experience: Basic and error-prone

2. Nickel: Declarative configuration language

   - Cannot handle interactive prompts (by design)
   - Pure evaluation model (no side effects)
   - Forms must be defined statically, not interactively
   - No runtime user interaction

3. Existing Solutions: Inadequate for modern infrastructure provisioning

   - Shell-based prompts: Error-prone, no validation, single-user
   - Custom web forms: High maintenance, inconsistent UX
   - Separate admin panels: Disconnected from IaC workflow
   - Terminal-only TUI: Limited to SSH sessions, no collaboration

### Use Cases Requiring Interactive Input

1. Workspace Initialization:

       # Current: Error-prone prompts
       let workspace_name = input "Workspace name: "
       let provider = input "Provider (aws/azure/oci): "
       # No validation, no autocomplete, no guidance

2. Credential Setup:

       # Current: Insecure and basic
       let api_key = input "API Key: "  # Shows in terminal history
       let region = input "Region: "    # No validation

3. Configuration Wizards:

   - Database connection setup (host, port, credentials, SSL)
   - Network configuration (CIDR blocks, subnets, gateways)
   - Security policies (encryption, access control, audit)

4. Guided Deployments:

   - Multi-step infrastructure provisioning
   - Service selection with dependencies
   - Environment-specific overrides

### Requirements for Interactive Input System

- ✅ Terminal UI widgets: Text input, password, select, multi-select, confirm
- ✅ Validation: Type checking, regex patterns, custom validators
- ✅ Security: Password masking, sensitive data handling
- ✅ User Experience: Arrow key navigation, autocomplete, help text
- ✅ Composability: Chain multiple prompts into forms
- ✅ Error Handling: Clear validation errors, retry logic
- ✅ Rust Integration: Native Rust library (no subprocess overhead)
- ✅ Cross-Platform: Works on Linux, macOS, Windows

## Decision

Integrate typdialog with its Web UI backend as the standard interactive configuration interface for the provisioning platform. The major achievement of typdialog is not the TUI - it is the Web UI backend that enables browser-based forms, multi-user collaboration, and seamless integration with the provisioning orchestrator.

### Implementation Characteristics

CLI Integration Provides:

- ✅ Native Rust commands with TUI dialogs
- ✅ Form-based input for complex configurations
- ✅ Validation rules defined in Rust (type-safe)
- ✅ Secure input (password masking, no history)
- ✅ Error handling with retry logic
- ✅ Serialization to Nickel/TOML/JSON

TUI Dialog Library Handles:

- ✅ Terminal UI rendering and event loop
- ✅ Widget management (text, select, checkbox, confirm)
- ✅ Input validation and error display
- ✅ Navigation (arrow keys, tab, enter)
- ✅ Cross-platform terminal compatibility

## Rationale

### Why TUI Dialog Integration Is Required

Aspect | Shell Prompts (current) | Web Forms | TUI Dialog (chosen)
--- | --- | --- | ---
User Experience | ❌ Basic text only | ✅ Rich UI | ✅ Rich TUI
Validation | ❌ Manual, error-prone | ✅ Built-in | ✅ Built-in
Security | ❌ Plain text, history | ⚠️ Network risk | ✅ Secure terminal
Setup Complexity | ✅ None | ❌ Server required | ✅ Minimal
Terminal Workflow | ✅ Native | ❌ Browser switch | ✅ Native
Offline Support | ✅ Always | ❌ Requires server | ✅ Always
Dependencies | ✅ None | ❌ Web stack | ✅ Single crate
Error Handling | ❌ Manual | ⚠️ Complex | ✅ Built-in retry

### The Nushell Limitation

Nushell’s `input` command is limited:

    # Current: No validation, no security
    let password = input "Password: "  # ❌ Shows in terminal
    let region = input "AWS Region: "   # ❌ No autocomplete/validation

    # Cannot do:
    # - Multi-select from options
    # - Conditional fields (if X then ask Y)
    # - Password masking
    # - Real-time validation
    # - Autocomplete/fuzzy search

### The Nickel Constraint

Nickel is declarative and cannot prompt users:

    # Nickel defines what the config looks like, NOT how to get it
    {
      database = {
        host | String,
        port | Number,
        credentials | { username: String, password: String },
      }
    }

    # Nickel cannot:
    # - Prompt user for values
    # - Show interactive forms
    # - Validate input interactively

### Why Rust + TUI Dialog Is The Solution

Rust provides:

- Native terminal control (crossterm, termion)
- Type-safe form definitions
- Validation rules as functions
- Secure memory handling (password zeroization)
- Performance (no subprocess overhead)

TUI Dialog provides:

- Widget library (text, select, multi-select, confirm)
- Event loop and rendering
- Validation framework
- Error display and retry logic

Integration enables:

- Nushell calls Rust CLI → Shows TUI dialog → Returns validated config
- Nickel receives validated config → Type checks → Merges with defaults

## Consequences

### Positive

- User Experience: Professional TUI with validation and guidance
- Security: Password masking, sensitive data protection, no terminal history
- Validation: Type-safe rules enforced before config generation
- Developer Experience: Reusable form components across CLI commands
- Error Handling: Clear validation errors with retry options
- Offline First: No network dependencies for interactive input
- Terminal Native: Fits CLI workflow, no context switching
- Maintainability: Single library for all interactive input

### Negative

- Terminal Dependency: Requires interactive terminal (not scriptable)
- Learning Curve: Developers must learn TUI dialog patterns
- Library Lock-in: Tied to specific TUI library API
- Testing Complexity: Interactive tests require terminal mocking
- Non-Interactive Fallback: Need alternative for CI/CD and scripts

### Mitigation Strategies

Non-Interactive Mode:

    // Support both interactive and non-interactive
    if terminal::is_interactive() {
        // Show TUI dialog
        let config = show_workspace_form()?;
    } else {
        // Use config file or CLI args
        let config = load_config_from_file(args.config)?;
    }

Testing:

    // Unit tests: Test form validation logic (no TUI)
    #[test]
    fn test_validate_workspace_name() {
        assert!(validate_name("my-workspace").is_ok());
        assert!(validate_name("invalid name!").is_err());
    }

    // Integration tests: Use mock terminal or config files

Scriptability:

    # Batch mode: Provide config via file
    provisioning workspace init --config workspace.toml

    # Interactive mode: Show TUI dialog
    provisioning workspace init --interactive

Documentation:

- Form schemas documented in `docs/`
- Config file examples provided
- Screenshots of TUI forms in guides

## Alternatives Considered

### Alternative 1: Shell-Based Prompts (Current State)

Pros: Simple, no dependencies Cons: No validation, poor UX, security risks Decision: REJECTED - Inadequate for production use

### Alternative 2: Web-Based Forms

Pros: Rich UI, well-known patterns Cons: Requires server, network dependency, context switch Decision: REJECTED - Too complex for CLI tool

### Alternative 3: Custom TUI Per Use Case

Pros: Tailored to each need Cons: High maintenance, code duplication, inconsistent UX Decision: REJECTED - Not sustainable

### Alternative 4: External Form Tool (dialog, whiptail)

Pros: Mature, cross-platform Cons: Subprocess overhead, limited validation, shell escaping issues Decision: REJECTED - Poor Rust integration

### Alternative 5: Text-Based Config Files Only

Pros: Fully scriptable, no interactive complexity Cons: Steep learning curve, no guidance for new users Decision: REJECTED - Poor user onboarding experience

## Implementation Details

### Form Definition Pattern

    use typdialog::Form;

    pub fn workspace_initialization_form() -> Result<WorkspaceConfig> {
        let form = Form::new("Workspace Initialization")
            .add_text_input("name", "Workspace Name")
                .required()
                .validator(|s| validate_workspace_name(s))
            .add_select("provider", "Cloud Provider")
                .options(&["aws", "azure", "oci", "local"])
                .required()
            .add_text_input("region", "Region")
                .default("us-west-2")
                .validator(|s| validate_region(s))
            .add_password("admin_password", "Admin Password")
                .required()
                .min_length(12)
            .add_confirm("enable_monitoring", "Enable Monitoring?")
                .default(true);

        let responses = form.run()?;

        // Convert to strongly-typed config
        let config = WorkspaceConfig {
            name: responses.get_string("name")?,
            provider: responses.get_string("provider")?.parse()?,
            region: responses.get_string("region")?,
            admin_password: responses.get_password("admin_password")?,
            enable_monitoring: responses.get_bool("enable_monitoring")?,
        };

        Ok(config)
    }

### Integration with Nickel

    // 1. Get validated input from TUI dialog
    let config = workspace_initialization_form()?;

    // 2. Serialize to TOML/JSON
    let config_toml = toml::to_string(&config)?;

    // 3. Write to workspace config
    fs::write("workspace/config.toml", config_toml)?;

    // 4. Nickel merges with defaults
    // nickel export workspace/main.ncl --format json
    // (uses workspace/config.toml as input)

### CLI Command Structure

    // provisioning/core/cli/src/commands/workspace.rs

    #[derive(Parser)]
    pub enum WorkspaceCommand {
        Init {
            #[arg(long)]
            interactive: bool,

            #[arg(long)]
            config: Option<PathBuf>,
        },
    }

    pub fn handle_workspace_init(args: InitArgs) -> Result<()> {
        if args.interactive || terminal::is_interactive() {
            // Show TUI dialog
            let config = workspace_initialization_form()?;
            config.save("workspace/config.toml")?;
        } else if let Some(config_path) = args.config {
            // Use provided config
            let config = WorkspaceConfig::load(config_path)?;
            config.save("workspace/config.toml")?;
        } else {
            bail!("Either --interactive or --config required");
        }

        // Continue with workspace setup
        Ok(())
    }

### Validation Rules

    pub fn validate_workspace_name(name: &str) -> Result<(), String> {
        // Alphanumeric, hyphens, 3-32 chars
        let re = Regex::new(r"^[a-z0-9-]{3,32}$").unwrap();
        if !re.is_match(name) {
            return Err("Name must be 3-32 lowercase alphanumeric chars with hyphens".into());
        }
        Ok(())
    }

    pub fn validate_region(region: &str) -> Result<(), String> {
        const VALID_REGIONS: &[&str] = &["us-west-1", "us-west-2", "us-east-1", "eu-west-1"];
        if !VALID_REGIONS.contains(&region) {
            return Err(format!("Invalid region. Must be one of: {}", VALID_REGIONS.join(", ")));
        }
        Ok(())
    }

### Security: Password Handling

    use zeroize::Zeroizing;

    pub fn get_secure_password() -> Result<Zeroizing<String>> {
        let form = Form::new("Secure Input")
            .add_password("password", "Password")
                .required()
                .min_length(12)
                .validator(password_strength_check);

        let responses = form.run()?;

        // Password automatically zeroized when dropped
        let password = Zeroizing::new(responses.get_password("password")?);

        Ok(password)
    }

## Testing Strategy

Unit Tests:

    #[test]
    fn test_workspace_name_validation() {
        assert!(validate_workspace_name("my-workspace").is_ok());
        assert!(validate_workspace_name("UPPERCASE").is_err());
        assert!(validate_workspace_name("ab").is_err()); // Too short
    }

Integration Tests:

    // Use non-interactive mode with config files
    #[test]
    fn test_workspace_init_non_interactive() {
        let config = WorkspaceConfig {
            name: "test-workspace".into(),
            provider: Provider::Local,
            region: "us-west-2".into(),
            admin_password: "secure-password-123".into(),
            enable_monitoring: true,
        };

        config.save("/tmp/test-config.toml").unwrap();

        let result = handle_workspace_init(InitArgs {
            interactive: false,
            config: Some("/tmp/test-config.toml".into()),
        });

        assert!(result.is_ok());
    }

Manual Testing:

    # Test interactive flow
    cargo build --release
    ./target/release/provisioning workspace init --interactive

    # Test validation errors
    # - Try invalid workspace name
    # - Try weak password
    # - Try invalid region

## Configuration Integration

    # provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml
    [ui]
    interactive_mode = "auto"  # "auto" | "always" | "never"
    dialog_theme = "default"   # "default" | "minimal" | "colorful"

Environment Override:

    # Force non-interactive mode (for CI/CD)
    export PROVISIONING_INTERACTIVE=false

    # Force interactive mode
    export PROVISIONING_INTERACTIVE=true

# ADR-014: SecretumVault Integration for Secrets Management

## Status

Accepted - 2025-01-08

## Context

The provisioning system manages sensitive data across multiple infrastructure layers: cloud provider credentials, database passwords, API keys, SSH keys, encryption keys, and service tokens. The current security architecture (ADR-009) includes SOPS for encrypted config files and Age for key management, but lacks a centralized secrets management solution with dynamic secrets, access control, and audit logging.

### Current Secrets Management Challenges

Existing Approach:

1. SOPS + Age: Static secrets encrypted in config files

   - Good: Version-controlled, gitops-friendly
   - Limited: Static rotation, no audit trail, manual key distribution

2. Nickel Configuration: Declarative secrets references

   - Good: Type-safe configuration
   - Limited: Cannot generate dynamic secrets, no lifecycle management

3. Manual Secret Injection: Environment variables, CLI flags

   - Good: Simple for development
   - Limited: No security guarantees, prone to leakage

### Problems Without Centralized Secrets Management

Security Issues:

- ❌ No centralized audit trail (who accessed which secret when)
- ❌ No automatic secret rotation policies
- ❌ No fine-grained access control (Cedar policies not enforced on secrets)
- ❌ Secrets scattered across: SOPS files, env vars, config files, K8s secrets
- ❌ No detection of secret sprawl or leaked credentials

Operational Issues:

- ❌ Manual secret rotation (error-prone, often neglected)
- ❌ No secret versioning (cannot rollback to previous credentials)
- ❌ Difficult onboarding (manual key distribution)
- ❌ No dynamic secrets (credentials exist indefinitely)

Compliance Issues:

- ❌ Cannot prove compliance with secret access policies
- ❌ No audit logs for regulatory requirements
- ❌ Cannot enforce secret expiration policies
- ❌ Difficult to demonstrate least-privilege access

### Use Cases Requiring Centralized Secrets Management

1. Dynamic Database Credentials:

   - Generate short-lived DB credentials for applications
   - Automatic rotation based on policies
   - Revocation on application termination

2. Cloud Provider API Keys:

   - Centralized storage with access control
   - Audit trail of credential usage
   - Automatic rotation schedules

3. Service-to-Service Authentication:

   - Dynamic tokens for microservices
   - Short-lived certificates for mTLS
   - Automatic renewal before expiration

4. SSH Key Management:

   - Temporal SSH keys (ADR-009 SSH integration)
   - Centralized certificate authority
   - Audit trail of SSH access

5. Encryption Key Management:

   - Master encryption keys for data at rest
   - Key rotation and versioning
   - Integration with KMS systems

### Requirements for Secrets Management System

- ✅ Dynamic Secrets: Generate credentials on-demand with TTL
- ✅ Access Control: Integration with Cedar authorization policies
- ✅ Audit Logging: Complete trail of secret access and modifications
- ✅ Secret Rotation: Automatic and manual rotation policies
- ✅ Versioning: Track secret versions, enable rollback
- ✅ High Availability: Distributed, fault-tolerant architecture
- ✅ Encryption at Rest: AES-256-GCM for stored secrets
- ✅ API-First: RESTful API for integration
- ✅ Plugin Ecosystem: Extensible backends (AWS, Azure, databases)
- ✅ Open Source: Self-hosted, no vendor lock-in

## Decision

Integrate SecretumVault as the centralized secrets management system for the provisioning platform.

## Rationale

### Why SecretumVault Is Required

Aspect | SOPS + Age (current) | HashiCorp Vault | SecretumVault (chosen)
--- | --- | --- | ---
Dynamic Secrets | ❌ Static only | ✅ Full support | ✅ Full support
Rust Native | ⚠️ External CLI | ❌ Go binary | ✅ Pure Rust
Cedar Integration | ❌ None | ❌ Custom policies | ✅ Native Cedar
Audit Trail | ❌ Git only | ✅ Comprehensive | ✅ Comprehensive
Secret Rotation | ❌ Manual | ✅ Automatic | ✅ Automatic
Open Source | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ MPL 2.0 (BSL now) | ✅ Yes
Self-Hosted | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes
License | ✅ Permissive | ⚠️ BSL (proprietary) | ✅ Permissive
Versioning | ⚠️ Git commits | ✅ Built-in | ✅ Built-in
High Availability | ❌ Single file | ✅ Raft cluster | ✅ Raft cluster
Performance | ✅ Fast (local) | ⚠️ Network latency | ✅ Rust performance

### Why Not Continue with SOPS Alone

SOPS is excellent for static secrets in git, but inadequate for:

1. Dynamic Credentials: Cannot generate temporary DB passwords
2. Audit Trail: Git commits are insufficient for compliance
3. Rotation Policies: Manual rotation is error-prone
4. Access Control: No runtime policy enforcement
5. Secret Lifecycle: Cannot track usage or revoke access
6. Multi-System Integration: Limited to files, not API-accessible

Complementary Approach:

- SOPS: Configuration files with long-lived secrets (gitops workflow)
- SecretumVault: Runtime dynamic secrets, short-lived credentials, audit trail

### Why SecretumVault Over HashiCorp Vault

HashiCorp Vault Limitations:

1. License Change: BSL (Business Source License) - proprietary for production
2. Not Rust Native: Go binary, subprocess overhead
3. Custom Policy Language: HCL policies, not Cedar (provisioning standard)
4. Complex Deployment: Heavy operational burden
5. Vendor Lock-In: HashiCorp ecosystem dependency

SecretumVault Advantages:

1. Rust Native: Zero-cost integration, no subprocess spawning
2. Cedar Policies: Consistent with ADR-008 authorization model
3. Lightweight: Smaller binary, lower resource usage
4. Open Source: Permissive license, community-driven
5. Provisioning-First: Designed for IaC workflows

### Integration with Existing Security Architecture

ADR-009 (Security System):

- SOPS: Static config encryption (unchanged)
- Age: Key management for SOPS (unchanged)
- SecretumVault: Dynamic secrets, runtime access control (new)

ADR-008 (Cedar Authorization):

- Cedar policies control SecretumVault secret access
- Fine-grained permissions: `read:secret:database/prod/password`
- Audit trail records Cedar policy decisions

SSH Temporal Keys:

- SecretumVault SSH CA signs user certificates
- Short-lived certificates (1-24 hours)
- Audit trail of SSH access

## Consequences

### Positive

- Security Posture: Centralized secrets with audit trail and rotation
- Compliance: Complete audit logs for regulatory requirements
- Operational Excellence: Automatic rotation, dynamic credentials
- Developer Experience: Simple API for secret access
- Performance: Rust implementation, zero-cost abstractions
- Consistency: Cedar policies across entire system (auth + secrets)
- Observability: Metrics, logs, traces for secret access
- Disaster Recovery: Secret versioning enables rollback

### Negative

- Infrastructure Complexity: Additional service to deploy and operate
- High Availability Requirements: Raft cluster needs 3+ nodes
- Migration Effort: Existing SOPS secrets need migration path
- Learning Curve: Operators must learn vault concepts
- Dependency Risk: Critical path service (secrets unavailable = system down)

### Mitigation Strategies

High Availability:

    # Deploy SecretumVault cluster (3 nodes)
    provisioning deploy secretum-vault --ha --replicas 3

    # Automatic leader election via Raft
    # Clients auto-reconnect to leader

Migration from SOPS:

    # Phase 1: Import existing SOPS secrets into SecretumVault
    provisioning secrets migrate --from-sops config/secrets.yaml

    # Phase 2: Update Nickel configs to reference vault paths
    # Phase 3: Deprecate SOPS for runtime secrets (keep for config files)

Fallback Strategy:

    // Graceful degradation if vault unavailable
    let secret = match vault_client.get_secret("database/password").await {
        Ok(s) => s,
        Err(VaultError::Unavailable) => {
            // Fallback to SOPS for read-only operations
            warn!("Vault unavailable, using SOPS fallback");
            sops_decrypt("config/secrets.yaml", "database.password")?
        },
        Err(e) => return Err(e),
    };

Operational Monitoring:

    # prometheus metrics
    secretum_vault_request_duration_seconds
    secretum_vault_secret_lease_expiry
    secretum_vault_auth_failures_total
    secretum_vault_raft_leader_changes

    # Alerts: Vault unavailable, high auth failure rate, lease expiry

## Alternatives Considered

### Alternative 1: Continue with SOPS Only

Pros: No new infrastructure, simple Cons: No dynamic secrets, no audit trail, manual rotation Decision: REJECTED - Insufficient for production security

### Alternative 2: HashiCorp Vault

Pros: Mature, feature-rich, widely adopted Cons: BSL license, Go binary, HCL policies (not Cedar), complex deployment Decision: REJECTED - License and integration concerns

### Alternative 3: Cloud Provider Native (AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault)

Pros: Fully managed, high availability Cons: Vendor lock-in, multi-cloud complexity, cost at scale Decision: REJECTED - Against open-source and multi-cloud principles

### Alternative 4: CyberArk, 1Password, and Others

Pros: Enterprise features Cons: Proprietary, expensive, poor API integration Decision: REJECTED - Not suitable for IaC automation

### Alternative 5: Build Custom Secrets Manager

Pros: Full control, tailored to needs Cons: High maintenance burden, security risk, reinventing wheel Decision: REJECTED - SecretumVault provides this already

## Implementation Details

### SecretumVault Deployment

    # Deploy via provisioning system
    provisioning deploy secretum-vault \
      --ha \
      --replicas 3 \
      --storage postgres \
      --tls-cert /path/to/cert.pem \
      --tls-key /path/to/key.pem

    # Initialize and unseal
    provisioning vault init
    provisioning vault unseal --key-shares 5 --key-threshold 3

### Rust Client Library

    // provisioning/core/libs/secretum-client/src/lib.rs

    use secretum_vault::{Client, SecretEngine, Auth};

    pub struct VaultClient {
        client: Client,
    }

    impl VaultClient {
        pub async fn new(addr: &str, token: &str) -> Result<Self> {
            let client = Client::new(addr)
                .auth(Auth::Token(token))
                .tls_config(TlsConfig::from_files("ca.pem", "cert.pem", "key.pem"))?
                .build()?;

            Ok(Self { client })
        }

        pub async fn get_secret(&self, path: &str) -> Result<Secret> {
            self.client.kv2().get(path).await
        }

        pub async fn create_dynamic_db_credentials(&self, role: &str) -> Result<DbCredentials> {
            self.client.database().generate_credentials(role).await
        }

        pub async fn sign_ssh_key(&self, public_key: &str, ttl: Duration) -> Result<Certificate> {
            self.client.ssh().sign_key(public_key, ttl).await
        }
    }

### Nushell Integration

    # Nushell commands via Rust CLI wrapper
    provisioning secrets get database/prod/password
    provisioning secrets set api/keys/stripe --value "sk_live_xyz"
    provisioning secrets rotate database/prod/password
    provisioning secrets lease renew lease_id_12345
    provisioning secrets list database/

### Nickel Configuration Integration

    # provisioning/schemas/database.ncl
    {
      database = {
        host = "postgres.example.com",
        port = 5432,
        username = secrets.get "database/prod/username",
        password = secrets.get "database/prod/password",
      }
    }

    # Nickel function: secrets.get resolves to SecretumVault API call

### Cedar Policy for Secret Access

    // policy: developers can read dev secrets, not prod
    permit(
      principal in Group::"developers",
      action == Action::"read",
      resource in Secret::"database/dev"
    );

    forbid(
      principal in Group::"developers",
      action == Action::"read",
      resource in Secret::"database/prod"
    );

    // policy: CI/CD can generate dynamic DB credentials
    permit(
      principal == Service::"github-actions",
      action == Action::"generate",
      resource in Secret::"database/dynamic"
    ) when {
      context.ttl <= duration("1h")
    };

### Dynamic Database Credentials

    // Application requests temporary DB credentials
    let creds = vault_client
        .database()
        .generate_credentials("postgres-readonly")
        .await?;

    println!("Username: {}", creds.username); // v-app-abcd1234
    println!("Password: {}", creds.password); // random-secure-password
    println!("TTL: {}", creds.lease_duration);  // 1h

    // Credentials automatically revoked after TTL
    // No manual cleanup needed

### Secret Rotation Automation

    # secretum-vault config
    [[rotation_policies]]
    path = "database/prod/password"
    schedule = "0 0 * * 0"  # Weekly on Sunday midnight
    max_age = "30d"

    [[rotation_policies]]
    path = "api/keys/stripe"
    schedule = "0 0 1 * *"  # Monthly on 1st
    max_age = "90d"

### Audit Log Format

    {
      "timestamp": "2025-01-08T12:34:56Z",
      "type": "request",
      "auth": {
        "client_token": "sha256:abc123...",
        "accessor": "hmac:def456...",
        "display_name": "service-orchestrator",
        "policies": ["default", "service-policy"]
      },
      "request": {
        "operation": "read",
        "path": "secret/data/database/prod/password",
        "remote_address": "10.0.1.5"
      },
      "response": {
        "status": 200
      },
      "cedar_policy": {
        "decision": "permit",
        "policy_id": "allow-orchestrator-read-secrets"
      }
    }

## Testing Strategy

Unit Tests:

    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_get_secret() {
        let vault = mock_vault_client();
        let secret = vault.get_secret("test/secret").await.unwrap();
        assert_eq!(secret.value, "expected-value");
    }

    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_dynamic_credentials_generation() {
        let vault = mock_vault_client();
        let creds = vault.create_dynamic_db_credentials("postgres-readonly").await.unwrap();
        assert!(creds.username.starts_with("v-"));
        assert_eq!(creds.lease_duration, Duration::from_secs(3600));
    }

Integration Tests:

    # Test vault deployment
    provisioning deploy secretum-vault --test-mode
    provisioning vault init
    provisioning vault unseal

    # Test secret operations
    provisioning secrets set test/secret --value "test-value"
    provisioning secrets get test/secret | assert "test-value"

    # Test dynamic credentials
    provisioning secrets db-creds postgres-readonly | jq '.username' | assert-contains "v-"

    # Test rotation
    provisioning secrets rotate test/secret

Security Tests:

    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_unauthorized_access_denied() {
        let vault = vault_client_with_limited_token();
        let result = vault.get_secret("database/prod/password").await;
        assert!(matches!(result, Err(VaultError::PermissionDenied)));
    }

## Configuration Integration

Provisioning Config:

    # provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml
    [secrets]
    provider = "secretum-vault"  # "secretum-vault" | "sops" | "env"
    vault_addr = "https://vault.example.com:8200"
    vault_namespace = "provisioning"
    vault_mount = "secret"

    [secrets.tls]
    ca_cert = "/etc/provisioning/vault-ca.pem"
    client_cert = "/etc/provisioning/vault-client.pem"
    client_key = "/etc/provisioning/vault-client-key.pem"

    [secrets.cache]
    enabled = true
    ttl = "5m"
    max_size = "100MB"

Environment Variables:

    export VAULT_ADDR="https://vault.example.com:8200"
    export VAULT_TOKEN="s.abc123def456..."
    export VAULT_NAMESPACE="provisioning"
    export VAULT_CACERT="/etc/provisioning/vault-ca.pem"

# ADR-015: AI Integration Architecture for Intelligent Infrastructure Provisioning

## Status

Accepted - 2025-01-08

## Context

The provisioning platform has evolved to include complex workflows for infrastructure configuration, deployment, and management. Current interaction patterns require deep technical knowledge of Nickel schemas, cloud provider APIs, networking concepts, and security best practices. This creates barriers to entry and slows down infrastructure provisioning for operators who are not infrastructure experts.

### The Infrastructure Complexity Problem

Current state challenges:

1. Knowledge Barrier: Deep Nickel, cloud, and networking expertise required

   - Understanding Nickel type system and contracts
   - Knowing cloud provider resource relationships
   - Configuring security policies correctly
   - Debugging deployment failures

2. Manual Configuration: All configs hand-written

   - Repetitive boilerplate for common patterns
   - Easy to make mistakes (typos, missing fields)
   - No intelligent suggestions or autocomplete
   - Trial-and-error debugging

3. Limited Assistance: No contextual help

   - Documentation is separate from workflow
   - No explanation of validation errors
   - No suggestions for fixing issues
   - No learning from past deployments

4. Troubleshooting Difficulty: Manual log analysis

   - Deployment failures require expert analysis
   - No automated root cause detection
   - No suggested fixes based on similar issues
   - Long time-to-resolution

### AI Integration Opportunities

1. Natural Language to Configuration:

   - User: “Create a production PostgreSQL cluster with encryption and daily backups”
   - AI: Generates validated Nickel configuration

2. AI-Assisted Form Filling:

   - User starts typing in typdialog web form
   - AI suggests values based on context
   - AI explains validation errors in plain language

3. Intelligent Troubleshooting:

   - Deployment fails
   - AI analyzes logs and suggests fixes
   - AI generates corrected configuration

4. Configuration Optimization:

   - AI analyzes workload patterns
   - AI suggests performance improvements
   - AI detects security misconfigurations

5. Learning from Operations:

   - AI indexes past deployments
   - AI suggests configurations based on similar workloads
   - AI predicts potential issues

### AI Components Overview

The system integrates multiple AI components:

1. typdialog-ai: AI-assisted form interactions
2. typdialog-ag: AI agents for autonomous operations
3. typdialog-prov-gen: AI-powered configuration generation
4. platform/crates/ai-service: Core AI service backend
5. platform/crates/mcp-server: Model Context Protocol server
6. platform/crates/rag: Retrieval-Augmented Generation system

### Requirements for AI Integration

- ✅ Natural Language Understanding: Parse user intent from free-form text
- ✅ Schema-Aware Generation: Generate valid Nickel configurations
- ✅ Context Retrieval: Access documentation, schemas, past deployments
- ✅ Security Enforcement: Cedar policies control AI access
- ✅ Human-in-the-Loop: All AI actions require human approval
- ✅ Audit Trail: Complete logging of AI operations
- ✅ Multi-Provider Support: OpenAI, Anthropic, local models
- ✅ Cost Control: Rate limiting and budget management
- ✅ Observability: Trace AI decisions and reasoning

## Decision

Integrate a comprehensive AI system consisting of:

1. AI-Assisted Interfaces (typdialog-ai)
2. Autonomous AI Agents (typdialog-ag)
3. AI Configuration Generator (typdialog-prov-gen)
4. Core AI Infrastructure (ai-service, mcp-server, rag)

All AI components are schema-aware, security-enforced, and human-supervised.

### Component Responsibilities

typdialog-ai (AI-Assisted Forms):

- Real-time form field suggestions based on context
- Natural language form filling
- Validation error explanations in plain English
- Context-aware autocomplete for configuration values
- Integration with typdialog web UI

typdialog-ag (AI Agents):

- Autonomous task execution (multi-step workflows)
- Agent collaboration (multiple agents working together)
- Learning from user feedback and past operations
- Goal-oriented behavior (achieve outcome, not just execute steps)
- Safety boundaries (cannot deploy without approval)

typdialog-prov-gen (Config Generator):

- Natural language → Nickel configuration
- Template-based generation with customization
- Best practice injection (security, performance, HA)
- Iterative refinement based on validation feedback
- Integration with Nickel schema system

ai-service (Core AI Service):

- Central request router for all AI operations
- Authentication and authorization (Cedar policies)
- Rate limiting and cost control
- Caching (reduce LLM API calls)
- Audit logging (all AI operations)
- Multi-provider abstraction (OpenAI, Anthropic, local)

mcp-server (Model Context Protocol):

- LLM integration (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models)
- Tool calling framework (nickel_validate, schema_query, etc.)
- Context management (conversation history, schemas)
- Streaming responses for real-time feedback
- Error handling and retries

rag (Retrieval-Augmented Generation):

- Vector store (Qdrant/Milvus) for embeddings
- Document indexing (Nickel schemas, docs, deployments)
- Semantic search (find relevant context)
- Embedding generation (text-embedding-3-large)
- Query expansion and reranking

## Rationale

### Why AI Integration Is Essential

Aspect | Manual Config | AI-Assisted (chosen)
--- | --- | ---
Learning Curve | 🔴 Steep | 🟢 Gentle
Time to Deploy | 🔴 Hours | 🟢 Minutes
Error Rate | 🔴 High | 🟢 Low (validated)
Documentation Access | 🔴 Separate | 🟢 Contextual
Troubleshooting | 🔴 Manual | 🟢 AI-assisted
Best Practices | ⚠️ Manual enforcement | ✅ Auto-injected
Consistency | ⚠️ Varies by operator | ✅ Standardized
Scalability | 🔴 Limited by expertise | 🟢 AI scales knowledge

### Why Schema-Aware AI Is Critical

Traditional AI code generation fails for infrastructure because:

    Generic AI (like GitHub Copilot):
    ❌ Generates syntactically correct but semantically wrong configs
    ❌ Doesn't understand cloud provider constraints
    ❌ No validation against schemas
    ❌ No security policy enforcement
    ❌ Hallucinated resource names/IDs

Schema-aware AI (our approach):

    # Nickel schema provides ground truth
    {
      Database = {
        engine | [| 'postgres, 'mysql, 'mongodb |],
        version | String,
        storage_gb | Number,
        backup_retention_days | Number,
      }
    }

    # AI generates ONLY valid configs
    # AI knows:
    # - Valid engine values ('postgres', not 'postgresql')
    # - Required fields (all listed above)
    # - Type constraints (storage_gb is Number, not String)
    # - Nickel contracts (if defined)

Result: AI cannot generate invalid configs.

### Why RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) Is Essential

LLMs alone have limitations:

    Pure LLM:
    ❌ Knowledge cutoff (no recent updates)
    ❌ Hallucinations (invents plausible-sounding configs)
    ❌ No project-specific knowledge
    ❌ No access to past deployments

RAG-enhanced LLM:

    Query: "How to configure Postgres with encryption?"

    RAG retrieves:
    - Nickel schema: provisioning/schemas/database.ncl
    - Documentation: docs/user/database-encryption.md
    - Past deployment: workspaces/prod/postgres-encrypted.ncl
    - Best practice: .claude/patterns/secure-database.md

    LLM generates answer WITH retrieved context:
    ✅ Accurate (based on actual schemas)
    ✅ Project-specific (uses our patterns)
    ✅ Proven (learned from past deployments)
    ✅ Secure (follows our security guidelines)

### Why Human-in-the-Loop Is Non-Negotiable

AI-generated infrastructure configs require human approval:

    // All AI operations require approval
    pub async fn ai_generate_config(request: GenerateRequest) -> Result<Config> {
        let ai_generated = ai_service.generate(request).await?;

        // Validate against Nickel schema
        let validation = nickel_validate(&ai_generated)?;
        if !validation.is_valid() {
            return Err("AI generated invalid config");
        }

        // Check Cedar policies
        let authorized = cedar_authorize(
            principal: user,
            action: "approve_ai_config",
            resource: ai_generated,
        )?;
        if !authorized {
            return Err("User not authorized to approve AI config");
        }

        // Require explicit human approval
        let approval = prompt_user_approval(&ai_generated).await?;
        if !approval.approved {
            audit_log("AI config rejected by user", &ai_generated);
            return Err("User rejected AI-generated config");
        }

        audit_log("AI config approved by user", &ai_generated);
        Ok(ai_generated)
    }

Why:

- Infrastructure changes have real-world cost and security impact
- AI can make mistakes (hallucinations, misunderstandings)
- Compliance requires human accountability
- Learning opportunity (human reviews teach AI)

### Why Multi-Provider Support Matters

No single LLM provider is best for all tasks:

Provider | Best For | Considerations
--- | --- | ---
Anthropic (Claude) | Long context, accuracy | ✅ Best for complex configs
OpenAI (GPT-4) | Tool calling, speed | ✅ Best for quick suggestions
Local (Llama, Mistral) | Privacy, cost | ✅ Best for air-gapped envs

Strategy:

- Complex config generation → Claude (long context)
- Real-time form suggestions → GPT-4 (fast)
- Air-gapped deployments → Local models (privacy)

## Consequences

### Positive

- Accessibility: Non-experts can provision infrastructure
- Productivity: 10x faster configuration creation
- Quality: AI injects best practices automatically
- Consistency: Standardized configurations across teams
- Learning: Users learn from AI explanations
- Troubleshooting: AI-assisted debugging reduces MTTR
- Documentation: Contextual help embedded in workflow
- Safety: Schema validation prevents invalid configs
- Security: Cedar policies control AI access
- Auditability: Complete trail of AI operations

### Negative

- Dependency: Requires LLM API access (or local models)
- Cost: LLM API calls have per-token cost
- Latency: AI responses take 1-5 seconds
- Accuracy: AI can still make mistakes (needs validation)
- Trust: Users must understand AI limitations
- Complexity: Additional infrastructure to operate
- Privacy: Configs sent to LLM providers (unless local)

### Mitigation Strategies

Cost Control:

    [ai.rate_limiting]
    requests_per_minute = 60
    tokens_per_day = 1000000
    cost_limit_per_day = "100.00"  # USD

    [ai.caching]
    enabled = true
    ttl = "1h"
    # Cache similar queries to reduce API calls

Latency Optimization:

    // Streaming responses for real-time feedback
    pub async fn ai_generate_stream(request: GenerateRequest) -> impl Stream<Item = String> {
        ai_service
            .generate_stream(request)
            .await
            .map(|chunk| chunk.text)
    }

Privacy (Local Models):

    [ai]
    provider = "local"
    model_path = "/opt/provisioning/models/llama-3-70b"

    # No data leaves the network

Validation (Defense in Depth):

    AI generates config
      ↓
    Nickel schema validation (syntax, types, contracts)
      ↓
    Cedar policy check (security, compliance)
      ↓
    Human approval (final gate)
      ↓
    Deployment

Observability:

    [ai.observability]
    trace_all_requests = true
    store_conversations = true
    conversation_retention = "30d"

    # Every AI operation logged:
    # - Input prompt
    # - Retrieved context (RAG)
    # - Generated output
    # - Validation results
    # - Human approval decision

## Alternatives Considered

### Alternative 1: No AI Integration

Pros: Simpler, no LLM dependencies Cons: Steep learning curve, slow provisioning, manual troubleshooting Decision: REJECTED - Poor user experience (10x slower provisioning, high error rate)

### Alternative 2: Generic AI Code Generation (GitHub Copilot approach)

Pros: Existing tools, well-known UX Cons: Not schema-aware, generates invalid configs, no validation Decision: REJECTED - Inadequate for infrastructure (correctness critical)

### Alternative 3: AI Only for Documentation/Search

Pros: Lower risk (AI doesn’t generate configs) Cons: Missed opportunity for 10x productivity gains Decision: REJECTED - Too conservative

### Alternative 4: Fully Autonomous AI (No Human Approval)

Pros: Maximum automation Cons: Unacceptable risk for infrastructure changes Decision: REJECTED - Safety and compliance requirements

### Alternative 5: Single LLM Provider Lock-in

Pros: Simpler integration Cons: Vendor lock-in, no flexibility for different use cases Decision: REJECTED - Multi-provider abstraction provides flexibility

### Cedar Policies for AI

    // AI cannot access secrets without explicit permission
    forbid(
      principal == Service::"ai-service",
      action == Action::"read",
      resource in Secret::"*"
    );

    // AI can generate configs for non-production environments without approval
    permit(
      principal == Service::"ai-service",
      action == Action::"generate_config",
      resource in Schema::"*"
    ) when {
      resource.environment in ["dev", "staging"]
    };

    // AI config generation for production requires senior engineer approval
    permit(
      principal in Group::"senior-engineers",
      action == Action::"approve_ai_config",
      resource in Config::"*"
    ) when {
      resource.environment == "production" &&
      resource.generated_by == "ai-service"
    };

    // AI agents cannot deploy without human approval
    forbid(
      principal == Service::"ai-agent",
      action == Action::"deploy",
      resource == Infrastructure::"*"
    ) unless {
      context.human_approved == true
    };

## Testing Strategy

Unit Tests:

    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_ai_config_generation_validates() {
        let ai_service = mock_ai_service();

        let generated = ai_service.generate_config(
            "Create a PostgreSQL database with encryption",
            &postgres_schema(),
            None,
        ).await.unwrap();

        // Must validate against schema
        assert!(generated.validation.is_valid());
        assert_eq!(generated.config["engine"], "postgres");
        assert_eq!(generated.config["encryption_enabled"], true);
    }

    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_ai_cannot_access_secrets() {
        let ai_service = ai_service_with_cedar();

        let result = ai_service.get_secret("database/password").await;

        assert!(result.is_err());
        assert_eq!(result.unwrap_err(), AIError::PermissionDenied);
    }

Integration Tests:

    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_end_to_end_ai_config_generation() {
        // User provides natural language
        let description = "Create a production Kubernetes cluster in AWS with 5 nodes";

        // AI generates config
        let generated = ai_service.generate_config(description).await.unwrap();

        // Nickel validation
        let validation = nickel_validate(&generated.config).await.unwrap();
        assert!(validation.is_valid());

        // Human approval
        let approval = Approval {
            user: "senior-engineer@example.com",
            approved: true,
            timestamp: Utc::now(),
        };

        // Deploy
        let deployment = orchestrator.deploy_with_approval(
            generated.config,
            approval,
        ).await.unwrap();

        assert_eq!(deployment.status, DeploymentStatus::Success);
    }

RAG Quality Tests:

    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_rag_retrieval_accuracy() {
        let rag = rag_service();

        // Index test documents
        rag.index_all().await.unwrap();

        // Query
        let context = rag.retrieve(
            "How to configure PostgreSQL with encryption?",
            &postgres_schema(),
        ).await.unwrap();

        // Should retrieve relevant docs
        assert!(context.relevant_docs.iter().any(|doc| {
            doc.contains("encryption") && doc.contains("postgres")
        }));

        // Should retrieve similar configs
        assert!(!context.similar_configs.is_empty());
    }

## Security Considerations

AI Access Control:

    AI Service Permissions (enforced by Cedar):
    ✅ CAN: Read Nickel schemas
    ✅ CAN: Generate configurations
    ✅ CAN: Query documentation
    ✅ CAN: Analyze deployment logs (sanitized)
    ❌ CANNOT: Access secrets directly
    ❌ CANNOT: Deploy without approval
    ❌ CANNOT: Modify Cedar policies
    ❌ CANNOT: Access user credentials

Data Privacy:

    [ai.privacy]
    # Sanitize before sending to LLM
    sanitize_secrets = true
    sanitize_pii = true
    sanitize_credentials = true

    # What gets sent to LLM:
    # ✅ Nickel schemas (public)
    # ✅ Documentation (public)
    # ✅ Error messages (sanitized)
    # ❌ Secret values (never)
    # ❌ Passwords (never)
    # ❌ API keys (never)

Audit Trail:

    // Every AI operation logged
    pub struct AIAuditLog {
        timestamp: DateTime<Utc>,
        user: UserId,
        operation: AIOperation,
        input_prompt: String,
        generated_output: String,
        validation_result: ValidationResult,
        human_approval: Option<Approval>,
        deployment_outcome: Option<DeploymentResult>,
    }

## Cost Analysis

Estimated Costs (per month, based on typical usage):

    Assumptions:
    - 100 active users
    - 10 AI config generations per user per day
    - Average prompt: 2000 tokens
    - Average response: 1000 tokens

    Provider: Anthropic Claude Sonnet
    Cost: $3 per 1M input tokens, $15 per 1M output tokens

    Monthly cost:
    = 100 users × 10 generations × 30 days × (2000 input + 1000 output tokens)
    = 100 × 10 × 30 × 3000 tokens
    = 90M tokens
    = (60M input × $3/1M) + (30M output × $15/1M)
    = $180 + $450
    = $630/month

    With caching (50% hit rate):
    = $315/month

Cost optimization strategies:

- Caching (50-80% cost reduction)
- Streaming (lower latency, same cost)
- Local models for non-critical operations (zero marginal cost)
- Rate limiting (prevent runaway costs)

- ✅ Dependency management
- ✅ Error handling and retries
- ✅ Progress monitoring

Usage:

    provisioning orchestrator status
    provisioning workflow execute deployment.nu
    provisioning workflow list

Supported Workflows:

- Nushell workflows (`.nu`) - `provisioning/core/nulib/workflows/`
- Nickel workflows (`.ncl`) - `provisioning/schemas/workflows/`

Location: `provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/nu_plugin_orchestrator/`

## Plugin Architecture

### Three-Tier Approach

1. Tier 1: Nushell Plugins (Native, fastest)

   - Compiled Rust or pure Nushell
   - Direct integration
   - Maximum performance

2. Tier 2: HTTP Fallback (Current, reliable)

   - Service-based
   - Network-based communication
   - Available now

3. Tier 3: Manual Implementation (Documented, flexible)

   - User-provided implementations
   - Custom integrations
   - Last resort

### Integration Points

Help System: Plugins are referenced in help system

- `provisioning help plugins` - Plugin status and usage

Commands: Plugin commands integrated as native provisioning commands

- `provisioning auth verify-token`
- `provisioning kms encrypt`
- `provisioning orchestrator status`

Configuration: Plugin settings in provisioning configuration

- `provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml` - Plugin defaults
- User workspace config - Plugin overrides

## Development Roadmap

### Phase 1: HTTP Fallback (✅ COMPLETE)

Fallback implementations allow core functionality without native plugins.

### Phase 2: Plugin Framework (🟡 IN PROGRESS)

- Plugin discovery and loading
- Configuration system
- Error handling framework
- Testing infrastructure

### Phase 3: Native Plugins (PLANNED)

- nu_plugin_auth compilation
- nu_plugin_kms implementation
- nu_plugin_orchestrator integration

### Phase 4: Integration (PLANNED)

- Help system integration
- Command aliasing
- Performance optimization
- Documentation and examples

## Using Plugins Today

### Available

    # Template rendering (nu_plugin_tera)
    provisioning config generate --template workspace.j2

    # Help system shows plugin status
    provisioning help plugins

### Fallback (HTTP-based)

    # Authentication (HTTP fallback)
    provisioning auth verify-token $token

    # KMS (HTTP fallback)
    provisioning kms encrypt --key mykey "secret"

    # Orchestrator (HTTP fallback)
    provisioning orchestrator status

### Manual Nushell Workflows

    # Use Nushell workflows instead of plugins
    provisioning workflow list
    provisioning workflow execute deployment.nu

## Plugin Development Guide

To develop a plugin:

1. Use Existing Patterns: Study nu_plugin_tera implementation
2. Implement HTTP Fallback: Ensure HTTP fallback works first
3. Create Native Plugin: Build Rust or Nushell-based plugin
4. Integration Testing: Test with help system and CLI
5. Documentation: Update this roadmap and plugin help

See Plugin Development Guide (when available).

## Troubleshooting

### Plugin Not Found

Problem: `Command 'auth' not found`

Solution:

1. Check HTTP server is running: `provisioning status`
2. Check fallback implementation: `provisioning help auth`
3. Verify configuration: `provisioning validate config`

### Plugin Timeout

Problem: Command times out or hangs

Solution:

1. Check HTTP server health: `curl http://localhost:8080/health`
2. Check network connectivity: `ping localhost`
3. Check logs: `provisioning status --verbose`
4. Report issue with full debug output

### Plugin Not in Help

Problem: Plugin commands don’t appear in `provisioning help`

Solution:

1. Check plugin is loaded: `provisioning list-plugins`
2. Check help system: `provisioning help | grep plugin`
3. Check configuration: `provisioning validate config`

# Nickel Workflow System - Complete Implementation

✅ STATUS: FULLY IMPLEMENTED & PRODUCTION-READY

This document describes the complete Nickel workflow system. Both Nushell and Nickel workflows are production-ready.

## Current Implementation

### ✅ Nushell Workflows (Production-Ready)

Status: Fully implemented and production-ready

Location: `provisioning/core/nulib/workflows/`

Capabilities:

- Multi-step infrastructure provisioning
- Dependency management
- Error handling and recovery
- Progress monitoring
- Logging and debugging

    # List available workflows
    provisioning workflow list

    # Execute a workflow
    provisioning workflow execute --file deployment.nu --infra production

Advantages:

- Native Nushell syntax
- Direct integration with provisioning commands
- Immediate execution
- Full debugging support

## ✅ Nickel Workflows (Implemented)

### Architecture

Nickel workflows provide type-safe, validated workflow definitions with:

- ✅ Static type checking
- ✅ Configuration merging
- ✅ Lazy evaluation
- ✅ Complex infrastructure patterns

### Available Capabilities

#### Type-Safe Workflow Definitions

    # Example (future)
    let workflow = {
      name = "multi-provider-deployment",
      description = "Deploy across AWS, Hetzner, Upcloud",

      inputs = {
        aws_region | String,
        hetzner_datacenter | String,
        environment | ["dev", "staging", "production"],
      },

      steps = [
        {
          id = "setup-aws",
          action = "provision",
          provider = "aws",
          config = { region = inputs.aws_region },
        },
        {
          id = "setup-hetzner",
          action = "provision",
          provider = "hetzner",
          config = { datacenter = inputs.hetzner_datacenter },
          depends_on = ["setup-aws"],
        },
      ],
    }

#### Advanced Features

1. Schema Validation

   - Input validation at definition time
   - Type-safe configuration passing
   - Error detection early

2. Lazy Evaluation

   - Only compute what’s needed
   - Complex conditional workflows
   - Dynamic step generation

3. Configuration Merging

   - Reusable workflow components
   - Override mechanisms
   - Template inheritance

4. Multi-Provider Orchestration

   - Coordinate across providers
   - Handle provider-specific differences
   - Unified error handling

5. Testing Framework

- 🔵 Community contributions

## Current Workarounds

Until Nickel workflows are available, use:

1. Nushell Workflows (primary)

       provisioning workflow execute deployment.nu

2. Manual Commands

       provisioning server create --infra production
       provisioning taskserv create kubernetes
       provisioning verify

3. Batch Workflows (KCL-based, legacy)

   - See historical documentation for legacy approach

## Migration Path

When Nickel workflows become available:

1. Backward Compatibility

   - Nushell workflows continue to work
   - No forced migration

2. Gradual Migration

   - Convert complex Nushell workflows first
   - Keep simple workflows as-is
   - Hybrid approach supported

3. Migration Tools

   - Automated Nushell → Nickel conversion (planned)
   - Manual migration guide
   - Community examples

## Example: Future Nickel Workflow

    # Future example (not yet working)
    let deployment_workflow = {
      metadata = {
        name = "production-deployment",
        version = "1.0.0",
        description = "Multi-cloud production infrastructure",
      },

      inputs = {
        # Type-safe inputs
        region | [String],
        environment | String,
        replicas | Number,
      },

      configuration = {
        aws = { region = inputs.region.0 },
        hetzner = { datacenter = "eu-central" },
      },

      steps = [
        # Type-checked step definitions
        {
          name = "validate",
          action = "validate-config",
          inputs = configuration,
        },
        {
          name = "provision-aws",
          action = "provision",
          provider = "aws",
          depends_on = ["validate"],
        },
      ],

      # Built-in testing
      tests = [
        {
          name = "aws-validation",
          given = { region = "us-east-1" },
          expect = { provider = "aws" },
        },
      ],
    }

# REST API Reference

This document provides comprehensive documentation for all REST API endpoints in provisioning.

## Overview

Provisioning exposes two main REST APIs:

- Orchestrator API (Port 8080): Core workflow management and batch operations
- Control Center API (Port 9080): Authentication, authorization, and policy management

## Base URLs

- Orchestrator: `http://localhost:9090`
- Control Center: `http://localhost:9080`

## Authentication

### JWT Authentication

All API endpoints (except health checks) require JWT authentication via the Authorization header:

    Authorization: Bearer <jwt_token>

### Getting Access Token

    POST /auth/login
    Content-Type: application/json

    {
      "username": "admin",

    result = client.create_server_workflow('production', 'config.ncl')
    print(f"Task ID: {result['data']}")

### JavaScript/Node.js SDK Example

    const axios = require('axios');

    class ProvisioningClient {
      constructor(baseUrl, token) {
        this.client = axios.create({
          baseURL: baseUrl,
          headers: {
            'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
          }

## Webhook Integration

The system supports webhooks for external integrations:

### Webhook Configuration

Configure webhooks in the system configuration:

    [webhooks]
    enabled = true
    endpoints = [
      {
        url = "https://your-system.com/webhook"
        events = ["task.completed", "task.failed", "batch.completed"]
        secret = "webhook-secret"
      }
    ]

### Webhook Payload

    {
      "event": "task.completed",
      "timestamp": "2025-09-26T10:00:00Z",
      "data": {
        "task_id": "uuid-string",
        "status": "completed",
        "output": "Task completed successfully"
      },
      "signature": "sha256=calculated-signature"
    }

## Pagination

For endpoints that return lists, use pagination parameters:

- `limit`: Maximum number of items per page (default: 50, max: 1000)
- `offset`: Number of items to skip

Pagination metadata is included in response headers:

    X-Total-Count: 1500
    X-Limit: 50
    X-Offset: 100
    Link: </api/endpoint?offset=150&limit=50>; rel="next"

## API Versioning

The API uses header-based versioning:

    Accept: application/vnd.provisioning.v1+json

Current version: v1

## Testing

Use the included test suite to validate API functionality:

    # Run API integration tests
    cd src/orchestrator
    cargo test --test api_tests

    # Run load tests
    cargo test --test load_tests --release

# WebSocket API Reference

This document provides comprehensive documentation for the WebSocket API used for real-time monitoring, event streaming, and live updates in provisioning.

## Overview

The WebSocket API enables real-time communication between clients and the provisioning orchestrator, providing:

- Live workflow progress updates
- System health monitoring
- Event streaming
- Real-time metrics
- Interactive debugging sessions

## WebSocket Endpoints

### Primary WebSocket Endpoint

#### `ws://localhost:9090/ws`

The main WebSocket endpoint for real-time events and monitoring.

Connection Parameters:

- `token`: JWT authentication token (required)
- `events`: Comma-separated list of event types to subscribe to (optional)
- `batch_size`: Maximum number of events per message (default: 10)
- `compression`: Enable message compression (default: false)

Example Connection:

    const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:9090/ws?token=jwt-token&events=task,batch,system');

### Specialized WebSocket Endpoints

#### `ws://localhost:9090/metrics`

Real-time metrics streaming endpoint.

Features:

- Live system metrics
- Performance data
- Resource utilization
- Custom metric streams

#### `ws://localhost:9090/logs`

Live log streaming endpoint.

Features:

- Real-time log tailing
- Log level filtering
- Component-specific logs
- Search and filtering

## Authentication

### JWT Token Authentication

All WebSocket connections require authentication via JWT token:

    // Include token in connection URL
    const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:9090/ws?token=' + jwtToken);

    // Or send token after connection
    ws.onopen = function() {
      ws.send(JSON.stringify({
        type: 'auth',
        token: jwtToken
      }));
    };

### Connection Authentication Flow

1. Initial Connection: Client connects with token parameter
2. Token Validation: Server validates JWT token
3. Authorization: Server checks token permissions
4. Subscription: Client subscribes to event types
5. Event Stream: Server begins streaming events

## Server-Side Implementation

### Rust WebSocket Handler

The orchestrator implements WebSocket support using Axum and Tokio:

            _ => true, // Most events are accessible to all authenticated users
        }
    }

## Event Filtering and Subscriptions

### Client-Side Filtering

    // Subscribe to specific event types
    ws.subscribe(['TaskStatusChanged', 'WorkflowProgressUpdate']);

    // Subscribe with filters
    ws.send({
      type: 'subscribe',
      events: ['TaskStatusChanged'],
      filters: {
        task_name: 'create_servers',
        status: ['Running', 'Completed', 'Failed']
      }
    });

    // Advanced filtering
    ws.send({
      type: 'subscribe',
      events: ['LogEntry'],
      filters: {
        level: ['ERROR', 'WARN'],
        component: ['server-manager', 'batch-coordinator'],
        since: '2025-09-26T10:00:00Z'
      }
    });

### Server-Side Event Filtering

Events can be filtered on the server side based on:

- User permissions and roles
- Event type subscriptions
- Custom filter criteria
- Rate limiting

## Error Handling and Reconnection

### Connection Errors

    ws.on('error', (error) => {
      console.error('WebSocket error:', error);

      // Handle specific error types
      if (error.code === 1006) {
        // Abnormal closure, attempt reconnection
        setTimeout(() => ws.connect(), 5000);
      } else if (error.code === 1008) {
        // Policy violation, check token
        refreshTokenAndReconnect();
      }
    });

    ws.on('disconnected', (event) => {
      console.log(`WebSocket disconnected: ${event.code} - ${event.reason}`);

      // Handle different close codes
      switch (event.code) {
        case 1000: // Normal closure
          console.log('Connection closed normally');
          break;
        case 1001: // Going away
          console.log('Server is shutting down');
          break;
        case 4001: // Custom: Token expired
          refreshTokenAndReconnect();
          break;
        default:
          // Attempt reconnection for other errors
          if (shouldReconnect()) {
            scheduleReconnection();
          }
      }
    });

### Heartbeat and Keep-Alive

    class ProvisioningWebSocket {
      constructor(baseUrl, token, options = {}) {
        // ... existing code ...
        this.heartbeatInterval = options.heartbeatInterval || 30000;
        this.heartbeatTimer = null;
      }

      connect() {
        // ... existing connection code ...

        this.ws.onopen = (event) => {
          console.log('WebSocket connected');
          this.startHeartbeat();
          this.emit('connected', event);
        };

        this.ws.onclose = (event) => {
          this.stopHeartbeat();
          // ... existing close handling ...
        };
      }

      startHeartbeat() {
        this.heartbeatTimer = setInterval(() => {
          if (this.ws && this.ws.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
            this.send({ type: 'ping' });
          }
        }, this.heartbeatInterval);
      }

      stopHeartbeat() {
        if (this.heartbeatTimer) {
          clearInterval(this.heartbeatTimer);
          this.heartbeatTimer = null;
        }
      }

      handleMessage(message) {
        if (message.type === 'pong') {
          // Heartbeat response received
          return;
        }

        // ... existing message handling ...
      }
    }

## Performance Considerations

### Message Batching

To improve performance, the server can batch multiple events into single WebSocket messages:

    {
      "type": "batch",
      "timestamp": "2025-09-26T10:00:00Z",
      "events": [
        {
          "event_type": "TaskStatusChanged",
          "data": { ... }
        },
        {
          "event_type": "WorkflowProgressUpdate",
          "data": { ... }
        }
      ]
    }

### Compression

Enable message compression for large events:

    const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:9090/ws?token=jwt&compression=true');

### Rate Limiting

The server implements rate limiting to prevent abuse:

- Maximum connections per user: 10
- Maximum messages per second: 100
- Maximum subscription events: 50

## Security Considerations

### Authentication and Authorization

- All connections require valid JWT tokens
- Tokens are validated on connection and periodically renewed
- Event access is controlled by user roles and permissions

### Message Validation

- All incoming messages are validated against schemas
- Malformed messages are rejected
- Rate limiting prevents DoS attacks

### Data Sanitization

- All event data is sanitized before transmission
- Sensitive information is filtered based on user permissions
- PII and secrets are never transmitted

This WebSocket API provides a robust, real-time communication channel for monitoring and managing provisioning with comprehensive security and performance features.

# Extension Development API

This document provides comprehensive guidance for developing extensions for provisioning, including providers, task services, and cluster configurations.

## Overview

Provisioning supports three types of extensions:

1. Providers: Cloud infrastructure providers (AWS, UpCloud, Local, etc.)
2. Task Services: Infrastructure components (Kubernetes, Cilium, Containerd, etc.)
3. Clusters: Complete deployment configurations (BuildKit, CI/CD, etc.)

All extensions follow a standardized structure and API for seamless integration.

## Provider Extension API

### Provider Interface

All providers must implement the following interface:

#### Core Operations

- `create-server(config: record) -> record`
- `delete-server(server_id: string) -> null`
- `list-servers() -> list<record>`
- `get-server-info(server_id: string) -> record`
- `start-server(server_id: string) -> null`
- `stop-server(server_id: string) -> null`
- `reboot-server(server_id: string) -> null`

#### Pricing and Plans

- `get-pricing() -> list<record>`
- `get-plans() -> list<record>`
- `get-zones() -> list<record>`

#### SSH and Access

- `get-ssh-access(server_id: string) -> record`
- `configure-firewall(server_id: string, rules: list<record>) -> null`

### Provider Development Template

#### Nickel Configuration Schema

Create `schemas/settings.ncl`:

    # Provider settings schema
    {
      ProviderSettings = {

    version = "1.0.0"
    description = "Custom cloud provider integration"
    author = "Your Name <your.email@example.com>"
    license = "MIT"

    [compatibility]
    provisioning_version = ">=2.0.0"
    nushell_version = ">=0.107.0"
    nickel_version = ">=1.15.0"

    [capabilities]
    server_management = true

    backup = true
    monitoring = false

    [authentication]
    methods = ["api_key", "certificate"]

    [regions]
    default = "us-east-1"
    available = ["us-east-1", "us-west-2", "eu-west-1"]

    [support]
    documentation = "https://docs.example.com/provider"

## Task Service Extension API

### Task Service Interface

Task services must implement:

#### Core Operations

- `install(config: record) -> record`
- `uninstall(config: record) -> null`
- `configure(config: record) -> null`
- `status() -> record`
- `restart() -> null`
- `upgrade(version: string) -> record`

#### Version Management

- `get-current-version() -> string`
- `get-available-versions() -> list<string>`
- `check-updates() -> record`

### Task Service Development Template

#### Nickel Schema

Create `schemas/version.ncl`:

    # Task service version configuration
    {
      taskserv_version = {
        name | String = "my-service",
        version | String = "1.0.0",

        # Version source configuration
        source | {
          type | String = "github",
          repository | String,
          release_pattern | String = "v{version}",
        },

        # Installation configuration
        install | {
          method | String = "binary",
          binary_name | String,
          binary_path | String = "/usr/local/bin",
          config_path | String = "/etc/my-service",
          data_path | String = "/var/lib/my-service",
        },

        # Dependencies
        dependencies | [
          {
            name | String,
            version | String = ">=1.0.0",
          }
        ],

        # Service configuration
        service | {
          type | String = "systemd",
          user | String = "my-service",
          group | String = "my-service",
          ports | [Number] = [8080, 9090],
        },

        # Health check configuration
        health_check | {
          endpoint | String,
          interval | Number = 30,
          timeout | Number = 5,
          retries | Number = 3,
        },

## Cluster Extension API

### Cluster Interface

Clusters orchestrate multiple components:

#### Core Operations

- `create(config: record) -> record`
- `delete(config: record) -> null`
- `status() -> record`
- `scale(replicas: int) -> record`
- `upgrade(version: string) -> record`

#### Component Management

- `list-components() -> list<record>`
- `component-status(name: string) -> record`
- `restart-component(name: string) -> null`

### Cluster Development Template

#### Nickel Configuration

Create `schemas/cluster.ncl`:

    # Cluster configuration schema
    {
      ClusterConfig = {
        # Cluster metadata
        name | String,
        version | String = "1.0.0",

        components | [Component],

        # Resource requirements
        resources | {
          min_nodes | Number = 1,
          cpu_per_node | String = "2",

## Extension Registration and Discovery

### Extension Registry

Extensions are registered in the system through:

1. Directory Structure: Placed in appropriate directories (providers/, taskservs/, cluster/)
2. Metadata Files: `metadata.toml` with extension information
3. Schema Files: `schemas/` directory with Nickel schema files

### Registration API

#### `register-extension(path: string, type: string) -> record`

Registers a new extension with the system.

Parameters:

- `path`: Path to extension directory
- `type`: Extension type (provider, taskserv, cluster)

#### `unregister-extension(name: string, type: string) -> null`

Removes extension from the registry.

#### `list-registered-extensions(type?: string) -> list<record>`

Lists all registered extensions, optionally filtered by type.

### Extension Validation

#### Validation Rules

1. Structure Validation: Required files and directories exist
2. Schema Validation: Nickel schemas are valid
3. Interface Validation: Required functions are implemented
4. Dependency Validation: Dependencies are available
5. Version Validation: Version constraints are met

#### `validate-extension(path: string, type: string) -> record`

Validates extension structure and implementation.

## Testing Extensions

### Test Framework

Extensions should include comprehensive tests:

#### Unit Tests

Create `tests/unit_tests.nu`:

    use std testing

    export def test_provider_config_validation [] {
        let config = {
            auth: { api_key: "test-key", api_secret: "test-secret" },
            api: { base_url: "https://api.test.com" }
        }

        let result = (validate-config $config)
        assert ($result.valid == true)
        assert ($result.errors | is-empty)
    }

    export def test_server_creation_check_mode [] {
        let config = {
            hostname: "test-server",
            plan: "1xCPU-1 GB",
            zone: "test-zone"
        }

        let result = (create-server $config --check)
        assert ($result.check_mode == true)
        assert ($result.would_create == true)
    }

#### Integration Tests

Create `tests/integration_tests.nu`:

    use std testing

    export def test_full_server_lifecycle [] {
        # Test server creation
        let create_config = {
            hostname: "integration-test",
            plan: "1xCPU-1 GB",
            zone: "test-zone"
        }

        let server = (create-server $create_config --wait)
        assert ($server.success == true)
        let server_id = $server.server_id

        # Test server info retrieval
        let info = (get-server-info $server_id)
        assert ($info.hostname == "integration-test")
        assert ($info.status == "running")

        # Test server deletion
        delete-server $server_id

        # Verify deletion
        let final_info = try { get-server-info $server_id } catch { null }
        assert ($final_info == null)
    }

### Running Tests

    # Run unit tests
    nu tests/unit_tests.nu

    # Run integration tests
    nu tests/integration_tests.nu

    # Run all tests
    nu tests/run_all_tests.nu

## Documentation Requirements

### Extension Documentation

Each extension must include:

1. README.md: Overview, installation, and usage
2. API.md: Detailed API documentation
3. EXAMPLES.md: Usage examples and tutorials
4. CHANGELOG.md: Version history and changes

### API Documentation Template

    # Extension Name API

    ## Overview
    Brief description of the extension and its purpose.

    ## Installation
    Steps to install and configure the extension.

    ## Configuration
    Configuration schema and options.

1. Follow Naming Conventions: Use consistent naming for functions and variables
2. Error Handling: Implement comprehensive error handling and recovery
3. Logging: Use structured logging for debugging and monitoring
4. Configuration Validation: Validate all inputs and configurations
5. Documentation: Document all public APIs and configurations
6. Testing: Include comprehensive unit and integration tests
7. Versioning: Follow semantic versioning principles
8. Security: Implement secure credential handling and API calls

### Performance Considerations

1. Caching: Cache expensive operations and API calls
2. Parallel Processing: Use parallel execution where possible
3. Resource Management: Clean up resources properly
4. Batch Operations: Batch API calls when possible
5. Health Monitoring: Implement health checks and monitoring

### Security Best Practices

1. Credential Management: Store credentials securely
2. Input Validation: Validate and sanitize all inputs
3. Access Control: Implement proper access controls
4. Audit Logging: Log all security-relevant operations
5. Encryption: Encrypt sensitive data in transit and at rest

This extension development API provides a comprehensive framework for building robust, scalable, and maintainable extensions for provisioning.

        client = ProvisioningClient(
            base_url="http://localhost:9090",
            auth_url="http://localhost:8081",
            username="admin",
            password="your-password"
        )

        try:
            # Authenticate
            token = await client.authenticate()
            print(f"Authenticated with token: {token[:20]}...")

            # Create a server workflow
            task_id = client.create_server_workflow(
                infra="production",
                settings="prod-settings.ncl",
                wait=False
            )
            print(f"Server workflow created: {task_id}")

            # Wait for completion
            task = client.wait_for_task_completion(task_id, timeout=600)
            print(f"Task completed with status: {task.status}")

            if task.status == "Completed":
                print(f"Output: {task.output}")
            elif task.status == "Failed":
                print(f"Error: {task.error}")

        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Error: {e}")

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        asyncio.run(main())

### Advanced Usage

#### WebSocket Integration

    async def monitor_workflows():
        client = ProvisioningClient()
        await client.authenticate()

        # Set up event handlers
        async def on_task_update(event):
            print(f"Task {event['data']['task_id']} status: {event['data']['status']}")

        async def on_progress_update(event):
            print(f"Progress: {event['data']['progress']}% - {event['data']['current_step']}")

        client.on_event('TaskStatusChanged', on_task_update)
        client.on_event('WorkflowProgressUpdate', on_progress_update)

        # Connect to WebSocket
        await client.connect_websocket(['TaskStatusChanged', 'WorkflowProgressUpdate'])

        # Keep connection alive
        await asyncio.sleep(3600)  # Monitor for 1 hour

#### Batch Operations

    async def execute_batch_deployment():
        client = ProvisioningClient()
        await client.authenticate()

        batch_config = {

## Best Practices

### Authentication and Security

1. Token Management: Store tokens securely and implement automatic refresh
2. Environment Variables: Use environment variables for credentials
3. HTTPS: Always use HTTPS in production environments
4. Token Expiration: Handle token expiration gracefully

### Error Handling

1. Specific Exceptions: Handle specific error types appropriately
2. Retry Logic: Implement exponential backoff for transient failures
3. Circuit Breakers: Use circuit breakers for resilient integrations
4. Logging: Log errors with appropriate context

### Performance Optimization

1. Connection Pooling: Reuse HTTP connections
2. Async Operations: Use asynchronous operations where possible
3. Batch Operations: Group related operations for efficiency
4. Caching: Cache frequently accessed data appropriately

### WebSocket Connections

1. Reconnection: Implement automatic reconnection with backoff
2. Event Filtering: Subscribe only to needed event types
3. Error Handling: Handle WebSocket errors gracefully
4. Resource Cleanup: Properly close WebSocket connections

### Testing

1. Unit Tests: Test SDK functionality with mocked responses
2. Integration Tests: Test against real API endpoints
3. Error Scenarios: Test error handling paths
4. Load Testing: Validate performance under load

This comprehensive SDK documentation provides developers with everything needed to integrate with provisioning using their preferred programming language, complete with examples, best practices, and detailed API references.

# Integration Examples

This document provides comprehensive examples and patterns for integrating with provisioning APIs, including client libraries, SDKs, error handling strategies, and performance optimization.

## Overview

Provisioning offers multiple integration points:

- REST APIs for workflow management
- WebSocket APIs for real-time monitoring
- Configuration APIs for system setup
- Extension APIs for custom providers and services

## SDK Documentation

### Python SDK

The Python SDK provides a comprehensive interface for provisioning:

#### Installation

    pip install provisioning-client

#### Quick Start

    from provisioning_client import ProvisioningClient

    # Initialize client
    client = ProvisioningClient(
        base_url="http://localhost:9090",
        username="admin",
        password="password"
    )

    # Create workflow
    task_id = await client.create_server_workflow(
        infra="production",
        settings="config.ncl"
    )

    # Wait for completion
    task = await client.wait_for_task_completion(task_id)
    print(f"Workflow completed: {task.status}")

#### Advanced Usage

    # Use with async context manager
    async with ProvisioningClient() as client:
        # Batch operations
        batch_config = {
            "name": "deployment",
            "operations": [...]
        }

        batch_result = await client.execute_batch_operation(batch_config)

        # Real-time monitoring
        await client.connect_websocket(['TaskStatusChanged'])

        client.on_event('TaskStatusChanged', handle_task_update)

### JavaScript/TypeScript SDK

#### Installation

    npm install @provisioning/client

#### Usage

    import { ProvisioningClient } from '@provisioning/client';

    const client = new ProvisioningClient({
      baseUrl: 'http://localhost:9090',
      username: 'admin',
      password: 'password'
    });

    // Create workflow
    const taskId = await client.createServerWorkflow({
      infra: 'production',
      settings: 'config.ncl'
    });

    // Monitor progress
    client.on('workflowProgress', (progress) => {
      console.log(`Progress: ${progress.progress}%`);
    });

    await client.connectWebSocket();

## Common Integration Patterns

### Workflow Orchestration Pipeline

    class WorkflowPipeline:
        """Orchestrate complex multi-step workflows"""

        def __init__(self, client: ProvisioningClient):
            self.client = client
            self.steps = []

                'operation': operation,
                'dependencies': dependencies or [],
                'status': 'pending',
                'result': None
            })

        async def execute(self):
            """Execute the pipeline"""
            completed_steps = set()

            while len(completed_steps) < len(self.steps):

                        all(dep in completed_steps for dep in step['dependencies']))
                ]

                if not ready_steps:
                    raise Exception("Pipeline deadlock detected")

                # Execute ready steps in parallel
                tasks = []
                for step in ready_steps:
                    step['status'] = 'running'
                    tasks.append(self._execute_step(step))

                # Wait for completion
                results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks, return_exceptions=True)

                for step, result in zip(ready_steps, results):
                    if isinstance(result, Exception):
                        step['status'] = 'failed'
                        step['error'] = str(result)
                        raise Exception(f"Step {step['name']} failed: {result}")
                    else:
                        step['status'] = 'completed'
                        step['result'] = result
                        completed_steps.add(step['name'])

        async def _execute_step(self, step):
            """Execute a single step"""
            try:
                return await step['operation']()
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"Step {step['name']} failed: {e}")
                raise

    # Usage example
    async def complex_deployment():
        client = ProvisioningClient()
        pipeline = WorkflowPipeline(client)

        # Define deployment steps
        pipeline.add_step('servers', lambda: client.create_server_workflow({

# Provider API Reference

API documentation for creating and using infrastructure providers.

## Overview

Providers handle cloud-specific operations and resource provisioning. The provisioning platform supports multiple cloud providers through a unified API.

## Supported Providers

- UpCloud - European cloud provider
- AWS - Amazon Web Services
- Local - Local development environment

## Provider Interface

All providers must implement the following interface:

### Required Functions

    # Provider initialization
    export def init [] -> record { ... }

    # Server operations
    export def create-servers [plan: record] -> list { ... }
    export def delete-servers [ids: list] -> bool { ... }
    export def list-servers [] -> table { ... }

    # Resource information
    export def get-server-plans [] -> table { ... }
    export def get-regions [] -> list { ... }
    export def get-pricing [plan: string] -> record { ... }

### Provider Configuration

Each provider requires configuration in Nickel format:

    # Example: UpCloud provider configuration
    {
      provider = {
        name = "upcloud",
        type = "cloud",
        enabled = true,
        config = {
          username = "{{env.UPCLOUD_USERNAME}}",
          password = "{{env.UPCLOUD_PASSWORD}}",
          default_zone = "de-fra1",
        },
      }
    }

## Creating a Custom Provider

### 1. Directory Structure

    provisioning/extensions/providers/my-provider/
    ├── nulib/
    │   └── my_provider.nu          # Provider implementation
    ├── schemas/
    │   ├── main.ncl                # Nickel schema
    │   └── defaults.ncl            # Default configuration
    └── README.md                   # Provider documentation

### 2. Implementation Template

    # my_provider.nu
    export def init [] {
        {
            name: "my-provider"
            type: "cloud"
            ready: true
        }
    }

    export def create-servers [plan: record] {
        # Implementation here
        []
    }

    export def list-servers [] {
        # Implementation here
        []
    }

    # ... other required functions

### 3. Nickel Schema

    # main.ncl
    {
      MyProvider = {
        # My custom provider schema
        name | String = "my-provider",
        type | String | "cloud" | "local" = "cloud",
        config | MyProviderConfig,
      },

      MyProviderConfig = {
        api_key | String,
        region | String = "us-east-1",
      },
    }

## Provider Discovery

Providers are automatically discovered from:

- `provisioning/extensions/providers/*/nu/*.nu`
- User workspace: `workspace/extensions/providers/*/nu/*.nu`

    # Discover available providers
    provisioning module discover providers

    # Load provider
    provisioning module load providers workspace my-provider

## Provider API Examples

### Create Servers

    use my_provider.nu *

    let plan = {
        count: 3
        size: "medium"
        zone: "us-east-1"
    }

    create-servers $plan

### List Servers

    list-servers | where status == "running" | select hostname ip_address

### Get Pricing

    get-pricing "small" | to yaml

## Testing Providers

Use the test environment system to test providers:

    # Test provider without real resources
    provisioning test env single my-provider --check

## Provider Development Guide

For complete provider development guide, see:

- Provider Development - Quick start guide
- Extension Development - Complete extension guide
- Integration Examples - Example implementations

## API Stability

Provider API follows semantic versioning:

- Major: Breaking changes
- Minor: New features, backward compatible
- Patch: Bug fixes

Current API version: `2.0.0`

For more examples, see Integration Examples.

# Path Resolution API

This document describes the path resolution system used throughout the provisioning infrastructure for discovering configurations, extensions, and resolving workspace paths.

## Overview

The path resolution system provides a hierarchical and configurable mechanism for:

- Configuration file discovery and loading
- Extension discovery (providers, task services, clusters)
- Workspace and project path management
- Environment variable interpolation
- Cross-platform path handling

## Configuration Resolution Hierarchy

The system follows a specific hierarchy for loading configuration files:

    1. System defaults      (config.defaults.toml)
    2. User configuration   (config.user.toml)
    3. Project configuration (config.project.toml)
    4. Infrastructure config (infra/config.toml)
    5. Environment config   (config.{env}.toml)
    6. Runtime overrides    (CLI arguments, ENV vars)

### Configuration Search Paths

The system searches for configuration files in these locations:

    # Default search paths (in order)
    /usr/local/provisioning/config.defaults.toml
    $HOME/.config/provisioning/config.user.toml
    $PWD/config.project.toml
    $PROVISIONING_KLOUD_PATH/config.infra.toml
    $PWD/config.{PROVISIONING_ENV}.toml

## Path Resolution API

### Core Functions

#### `resolve-config-path(pattern: string, search_paths: list<string>) -> string`

Resolves configuration file paths using the search hierarchy.

Parameters:

- `pattern`: File pattern to search for (for example, “config.*.toml”)
- `search_paths`: Additional paths to search (optional)

Returns:

- Full path to the first matching configuration file
- Empty string if no file found

Example:

    use path-resolution.nu *
    let config_path = (resolve-config-path "config.user.toml" [])
    # Returns: "/home/user/.config/provisioning/config.user.toml"

#### `resolve-extension-path(type: string, name: string) -> record`

Discovers extension paths (providers, taskservs, clusters).

Parameters:

- `type`: Extension type (“provider”, “taskserv”, “cluster”)
- `name`: Extension name (for example, “upcloud”, “kubernetes”, “buildkit”)

Returns:

    {
        base_path: "/usr/local/provisioning/providers/upcloud",
        schemas_path: "/usr/local/provisioning/providers/upcloud/schemas",
        nulib_path: "/usr/local/provisioning/providers/upcloud/nulib",
        templates_path: "/usr/local/provisioning/providers/upcloud/templates",
        exists: true
    }

#### `resolve-workspace-paths() -> record`

Gets current workspace path configuration.

Returns:

    {
        base: "/usr/local/provisioning",

        clusters: "/usr/local/provisioning/cluster",
        extensions: "/workspace/extensions"
    }

### Path Interpolation

The system supports variable interpolation in configuration paths:

#### Supported Variables

- `{{paths.base}}` - Base provisioning path
- `{{paths.kloud}}` - Current kloud path
- `{{env.HOME}}` - User home directory
- `{{env.PWD}}` - Current working directory
- `{{now.date}}` - Current date (YYYY-MM-DD)
- `{{now.time}}` - Current time (HH:MM:SS)
- `{{git.branch}}` - Current git branch
- `{{git.commit}}` - Current git commit hash

#### `interpolate-path(template: string, context: record) -> string`

Interpolates variables in path templates.

Parameters:

- `template`: Path template with variables
- `context`: Variable context record

Example:

    let template = "{{paths.base}}/infra/{{env.USER}}/{{git.branch}}"

## Command-Line Interface

### Path Resolution Commands

The path resolution API is exposed via Nushell commands:

    # Show current path configuration
    provisioning show paths

    # Discover available extensions
    provisioning discover providers
    provisioning discover taskservs
    provisioning discover clusters

    # Validate path configuration
    provisioning validate paths

    # Switch environments
    provisioning env switch prod

    # Set workspace
    provisioning workspace set /path/to/infra

## Integration Examples

### Python Integration

    import subprocess
    import json

    class PathResolver:
        def __init__(self, provisioning_path="/usr/local/bin/provisioning"):
            self.cmd = provisioning_path

        def get_paths(self):
            result = subprocess.run([
                "nu", "-c", f"use {self.cmd} *; show-config --section=paths --format=json"
            ], capture_output=True, text=True)
            return json.loads(result.stdout)

        def discover_providers(self):
            result = subprocess.run([
                "nu", "-c", f"use {self.cmd} *; discover providers --format=json"
            ], capture_output=True, text=True)
            return json.loads(result.stdout)

    # Usage
    resolver = PathResolver()
    paths = resolver.get_paths()
    providers = resolver.discover_providers()

### JavaScript/Node.js Integration

    const { exec } = require('child_process');
    const util = require('util');
    const execAsync = util.promisify(exec);

    class PathResolver {
      constructor(provisioningPath = '/usr/local/bin/provisioning') {
        this.cmd = provisioningPath;
      }

      async getPaths() {
        const { stdout } = await execAsync(
          `nu -c "use ${this.cmd} *; show-config --section=paths --format=json"`
        );
        return JSON.parse(stdout);
      }

      async discoverExtensions(type) {
        const { stdout } = await execAsync(
          `nu -c "use ${this.cmd} *; discover ${type} --format=json"`
        );
        return JSON.parse(stdout);
      }
    }

    // Usage
    const resolver = new PathResolver();
    const paths = await resolver.getPaths();
    const providers = await resolver.discoverExtensions('providers');

## Error Handling

### Common Error Scenarios

1. Configuration File Not Found

       Error: Configuration file not found in search paths
       Searched: ["/usr/local/provisioning/config.defaults.toml", ...]

2. Extension Not Found

       Error: Provider 'missing-provider' not found
       Available providers: ["upcloud", "aws", "local"]

3. Invalid Path Template

       Error: Invalid template variable: {{invalid.var}}
       Valid variables: ["paths.*", "env.*", "now.*", "git.*"]

4. Environment Not Found

       Error: Environment 'staging' not configured
       Available environments: ["dev", "test", "prod"]

### Error Recovery

The system provides graceful fallbacks:

- Missing configuration files use system defaults
- Invalid paths fall back to safe defaults
- Extension discovery continues if some paths are inaccessible
- Environment detection falls back to ‘local’ if detection fails

## Performance Considerations

### Best Practices

1. Use Path Caching: Enable caching for frequently accessed paths
2. Batch Discovery: Discover all extensions at once rather than individually
3. Lazy Loading: Load extension configurations only when needed
4. Environment Detection: Cache environment detection results

### Monitoring

Monitor path resolution performance:

    # Get resolution statistics
    provisioning debug path-stats

    # Monitor cache performance
    provisioning debug cache-stats

    # Profile path resolution
    provisioning debug profile-paths

## Security Considerations

### Path Traversal Protection

The system includes protections against path traversal attacks:

- All paths are normalized and validated
- Relative paths are resolved within safe boundaries
- Symlinks are validated before following

### Access Control

Path resolution respects file system permissions:

- Configuration files require read access
- Extension directories require read/execute access
- Workspace directories may require write access for operations

This path resolution API provides a comprehensive and flexible system for managing the complex path requirements of multi-provider, multi-environment infrastructure provisioning.

    import .taskservs.compliance-monitor.compliance-monitor as compliance
    import .providers.company-private-cloud as private_cloud

    # Configure servers with company-specific extensions
    company_servers: [server.Server] = [
        {
            hostname = "erp-prod-01"
            title = "Production ERP Server"

            # Use company private cloud
            # Provider-specific configuration goes here

            taskservs = [
                {
                    name = "legacy-erp"

# Command Handler Developer Guide

Target Audience: Developers working on the provisioning CLI Last Updated: 2025-09-30 Related: ADR-006 CLI Refactoring

## Overview

The provisioning CLI uses a modular, domain-driven architecture that separates concerns into focused command handlers. This guide shows you how to work with this architecture.

### Key Architecture Principles

1. Separation of Concerns: Routing, flag parsing, and business logic are separated
2. Domain-Driven Design: Commands organized by domain (infrastructure, orchestration, etc.)
3. DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself): Centralized flag handling eliminates code duplication
4. Single Responsibility: Each module has one clear purpose
5. Open/Closed Principle: Easy to extend, no need to modify core routing

### Architecture Components

    │   ├── dispatcher.nu (264 lines) - Command routing
    │   ├── help_system.nu - Categorized help system
    │   └── commands/ - Domain-focused handlers
    │       ├── infrastructure.nu (117 lines) - Server, taskserv, cluster, infra
    │       ├── orchestration.nu (64 lines) - Workflow, batch, orchestrator

    │       ├── utilities.nu (157 lines) - SSH, SOPS, cache, providers
    │       └── configuration.nu (316 lines) - Env, show, init, validate

## Adding New Commands

### Step 1: Choose the Right Domain Handler

Commands are organized by domain. Choose the appropriate handler:

Domain | Handler | Responsibility
--- | --- | ---
infrastructure | `infrastructure.nu` | Server/taskserv/cluster/infra lifecycle
orchestration | `orchestration.nu` | Workflow/batch operations, orchestrator control
development | `development.nu` | Module discovery, layers, versions, packaging
workspace | `workspace.nu` | Workspace and template management
configuration | `configuration.nu` | Environment, settings, initialization
utilities | `utilities.nu` | SSH, SOPS, cache, providers, utilities
generation | `generation.nu` | Generate commands (server, taskserv, etc.)

### Step 2: Add Command to Handler

Example: Adding a new server command `server status`

Edit `provisioning/core/nulib/main_provisioning/commands/infrastructure.nu`:

    # Add to the handle_infrastructure_command match statement
    export def handle_infrastructure_command [
      command: string
      ops: string
      flags: record
    ] {
      set_debug_env $flags

      match $command {
        "server" => { handle_server $ops $flags }
        "taskserv" | "task" => { handle_taskserv $ops $flags }
        "cluster" => { handle_cluster $ops $flags }
        "infra" | "infras" => { handle_infra $ops $flags }
        _ => {
          print $"❌ Unknown infrastructure command: ($command)"
          print ""
          print "Available infrastructure commands:"
          print "  server      - Server operations (create, delete, list, ssh, status)"  # Updated
          print "  taskserv    - Task service management"
          print "  cluster     - Cluster operations"
          print "  infra       - Infrastructure management"
          print ""
          print "Use 'provisioning help infrastructure' for more details"
          exit 1
        }
      }
    }

    # Add the new command handler
    def handle_server [ops: string, flags: record] {
      let args = build_module_args $flags $ops
      run_module $args "server" --exec
    }

That’s it! The command is now available as `provisioning server status`.

### Step 3: Add Shortcuts (Optional)

If you want shortcuts like `provisioning s status`:

Edit `provisioning/core/nulib/main_provisioning/dispatcher.nu`:

    export def get_command_registry []: nothing -> record {
      {
        # Infrastructure commands
        "s" => "infrastructure server"           # Already exists
        "server" => "infrastructure server"      # Already exists

        # Your new shortcut (if needed)
        # Example: "srv-status" => "infrastructure server status"

        # ... rest of registry
      }
    }

Note: Most shortcuts are already configured. You only need to add new shortcuts if you’re creating completely new command categories.

## Modifying Existing Handlers

### Example: Enhancing the `taskserv` Command

Let’s say you want to add better error handling to the taskserv command:

Before:

    def handle_taskserv [ops: string, flags: record] {
      let args = build_module_args $flags $ops
      run_module $args "taskserv" --exec
    }

After:

    def handle_taskserv [ops: string, flags: record] {
      # Validate taskserv name if provided
      let first_arg = ($ops | split row " " | get -o 0)
      if ($first_arg | is-not-empty) and $first_arg not-in ["create", "delete", "list", "generate", "check-updates", "help"] {
        # Check if taskserv exists
        let available_taskservs = (^$env.PROVISIONING_NAME module discover taskservs | from json)
        if $first_arg not-in $available_taskservs {
          print $"❌ Unknown taskserv: ($first_arg)"
          print ""
          print "Available taskservs:"
          $available_taskservs | each { |ts| print $"  • ($ts)" }
          exit 1
        }
      }

      let args = build_module_args $flags $ops
      run_module $args "taskserv" --exec
    }

## Working with Flags

### Using Centralized Flag Handling

The `flags.nu` module provides centralized flag handling:

    # Parse all flags into normalized record
    let parsed_flags = (parse_common_flags {
      version: $version, v: $v, info: $info,
      debug: $debug, check: $check, yes: $yes,
      wait: $wait, infra: $infra, # ... etc
    })

    # Build argument string for module execution
    let args = build_module_args $parsed_flags $ops

    # Set environment variables based on flags
    set_debug_env $parsed_flags

### Available Flag Parsing

The `parse_common_flags` function normalizes these flags:

Flag Record Field | Description
--- | ---
`show_version` | Version display (`--version`, `-v`)
`show_info` | Info display (`--info`, `-i`)
`show_about` | About display (`--about`, `-a`)
`debug_mode` | Debug mode (`--debug`, `-x`)
`check_mode` | Check mode (`--check`, `-c`)
`auto_confirm` | Auto-confirm (`--yes`, `-y`)
`wait` | Wait for completion (`--wait`, `-w`)
`keep_storage` | Keep storage (`--keepstorage`)
`infra` | Infrastructure name (`--infra`)
`outfile` | Output file (`--outfile`)
`output_format` | Output format (`--out`)
`template` | Template name (`--template`)
`select` | Selection (`--select`)
`settings` | Settings file (`--settings`)
`new_infra` | New infra name (`--new`)

### Adding New Flags

If you need to add a new flag:

1. Update main `provisioning` file to accept the flag
2. Update `flags.nu:parse_common_flags` to normalize it
3. Update `flags.nu:build_module_args` to pass it to modules

Example: Adding `--timeout` flag

    # 1. In provisioning main file (parameter list)
    def main [
      # ... existing parameters
      --timeout: int = 300        # Timeout in seconds
      # ... rest of parameters
    ] {
      # ... existing code
      let parsed_flags = (parse_common_flags {
        # ... existing flags
        timeout: $timeout
      })
    }

    # 2. In flags.nu:parse_common_flags
    export def parse_common_flags [flags: record]: nothing -> record {
      {
        # ... existing normalizations
        timeout: ($flags.timeout? | default 300)
      }
    }

    # 3. In flags.nu:build_module_args
    export def build_module_args [flags: record, extra: string = ""]: nothing -> string {
      # ... existing code
      let str_timeout = if ($flags.timeout != 300) { $"--timeout ($flags.timeout) " } else { "" }
      # ... rest of function
      $"($extra) ($use_check)($use_yes)($use_wait)($str_timeout)..."
    }

## Adding New Shortcuts

### Shortcut Naming Conventions

- 1-2 letters: Ultra-short for common commands (`s` for server, `ws` for workspace)
- 3-4 letters: Abbreviations (`orch` for orchestrator, `tmpl` for template)
- Aliases: Alternative names (`task` for taskserv, `flow` for workflow)

### Example: Adding a New Shortcut

Edit `provisioning/core/nulib/main_provisioning/dispatcher.nu`:

    export def get_command_registry []: nothing -> record {
      {
        # ... existing shortcuts

        # Add your new shortcut
        "db" => "infrastructure database"          # New: db command
        "database" => "infrastructure database"    # Full name

        # ... rest of registry
      }
    }

Important: After adding a shortcut, update the help system in `help_system.nu` to document it.

## Testing Your Changes

### Running the Test Suite

    # Run comprehensive test suite
    nu tests/test_provisioning_refactor.nu

### Test Coverage

The test suite validates:

- ✅ Main help display
- ✅ Category help (infrastructure, orchestration, development, workspace)
- ✅ Bi-directional help routing
- ✅ All command shortcuts
- ✅ Category shortcut help
- ✅ Command routing to correct handlers

### Adding Tests for Your Changes

Edit `tests/test_provisioning_refactor.nu`:

    # Add your test function
    export def test_my_new_feature [] {
      print "\n🧪 Testing my new feature..."

      let output = (run_provisioning "my-command" "test")
      assert_contains $output "Expected Output" "My command works"
    }

    # Add to main test runner
    export def main [] {
      # ... existing tests

      let results = [
        # ... existing test calls
        (try { test_my_new_feature; "passed" } catch { "failed" })
      ]

      # ... rest of main
    }

### Manual Testing

    # Test command execution
    provisioning/core/cli/provisioning my-command test --check

    # Test with debug mode
    provisioning/core/cli/provisioning --debug my-command test

    # Test help
    provisioning/core/cli/provisioning my-command help
    provisioning/core/cli/provisioning help my-command  # Bi-directional

## Common Patterns

### Pattern 1: Simple Command Handler

Use Case: Command just needs to execute a module with standard flags

    def handle_simple_command [ops: string, flags: record] {
      let args = build_module_args $flags $ops
      run_module $args "module_name" --exec
    }

### Pattern 2: Command with Validation

Use Case: Need to validate input before execution

    def handle_validated_command [ops: string, flags: record] {
      # Validate
      let first_arg = ($ops | split row " " | get -o 0)
      if ($first_arg | is-empty) {
        print "❌ Missing required argument"
        print "Usage: provisioning command <arg>"
        exit 1
      }

      # Execute
      let args = build_module_args $flags $ops
      run_module $args "module_name" --exec
    }

### Pattern 3: Command with Subcommands

Use Case: Command has multiple subcommands (like `server create`, `server delete`)

    def handle_complex_command [ops: string, flags: record] {
      let subcommand = ($ops | split row " " | get -o 0)
      let rest_ops = ($ops | split row " " | skip 1 | str join " ")

      match $subcommand {
        "create" => { handle_create $rest_ops $flags }
        "delete" => { handle_delete $rest_ops $flags }
        "list" => { handle_list $rest_ops $flags }
        _ => {
          print "❌ Unknown subcommand: $subcommand"
          print "Available: create, delete, list"
          exit 1
        }
      }
    }

### Pattern 4: Command with Flag-Based Routing

Use Case: Command behavior changes based on flags

    def handle_flag_routed_command [ops: string, flags: record] {
      if $flags.check_mode {
        # Dry-run mode
        print "🔍 Check mode: simulating command..."
        let args = build_module_args $flags $ops
        run_module $args "module_name" # No --exec, returns output
      } else {
        # Normal execution
        let args = build_module_args $flags $ops
        run_module $args "module_name" --exec
      }
    }

## Best Practices

### 1. Keep Handlers Focused

Each handler should do one thing well:

- ✅ Good: `handle_server` manages all server operations
- ❌ Bad: `handle_server` also manages clusters and taskservs

### 2. Use Descriptive Error Messages

    # ❌ Bad
    print "Error"

    # ✅ Good
    print "❌ Unknown taskserv: kubernetes-invalid"
    print ""
    print "Available taskservs:"
    print "  • kubernetes"
    print "  • containerd"
    print "  • cilium"
    print ""
    print "Use 'provisioning taskserv list' to see all available taskservs"

### 3. Leverage Centralized Functions

Don’t repeat code - use centralized functions:

    # ❌ Bad: Repeating flag handling
    def handle_bad [ops: string, flags: record] {
      let use_check = if $flags.check_mode { "--check " } else { "" }
      let use_yes = if $flags.auto_confirm { "--yes " } else { "" }
      let str_infra = if ($flags.infra | is-not-empty) { $"--infra ($flags.infra) " } else { "" }
      # ... 10 more lines of flag handling
      run_module $"($ops) ($use_check)($use_yes)($str_infra)..." "module" --exec
    }

    # ✅ Good: Using centralized function
    def handle_good [ops: string, flags: record] {
      let args = build_module_args $flags $ops
      run_module $args "module" --exec
    }

### 4. Document Your Changes

Update relevant documentation:

- ADR-006: If architectural changes
- CLAUDE.md: If new commands or shortcuts
- help_system.nu: If new categories or commands
- This guide: If new patterns or conventions

### 5. Test Thoroughly

Before committing:

- Run test suite: `nu tests/test_provisioning_refactor.nu`
- Test manual execution
- Test with `--check` flag
- Test with `--debug` flag
- Test help: both `provisioning cmd help` and `provisioning help cmd`
- Test shortcuts

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: “Module not found”

Cause: Incorrect import path in handler

Fix: Use relative imports with `.nu` extension:

    # ✅ Correct
    use ../flags.nu *
    use ../../lib_provisioning *

    # ❌ Wrong
    use ../main_provisioning/flags *
    use lib_provisioning *

### Issue: “Parse mismatch: expected colon”

Cause: Missing type signature format

Fix: Use proper Nushell 0.107 type signature:

    # ✅ Correct
    export def my_function [param: string]: nothing -> string {
      "result"
    }

    # ❌ Wrong
    export def my_function [param: string] -> string {
      "result"
    }

### Issue: “Command not routing correctly”

Cause: Shortcut not in command registry

Fix: Add to `dispatcher.nu:get_command_registry`:

    "myshortcut" => "domain command"

### Issue: “Flags not being passed”

Cause: Not using `build_module_args`

Fix: Use centralized flag builder:

    let args = build_module_args $flags $ops
    run_module $args "module" --exec

        #[error("Validation failed: {field}")]
        Validation { field: String },
    }

    pub fn create_server(name: &str) -> Result<ServerInfo> {
        let config = load_config()
            .context("Failed to load configuration")?;

        validate_server_name(name)
            .context("Server name validation failed")?;

        let server = provision_server(name, &config)
            .context("Failed to provision server")?;

        Ok(server)
    }

### Nickel Schema Organization

Schema Structure:

    # Base schema definitions
    let ServerConfig = {
        name | string,
        plan | string,
        zone | string,
        tags | { } | default = {},
    } in
    ServerConfig

    # Provider-specific extensions
    let UpCloudServerConfig = {
        template | string | default = "Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)",
        storage | number | default = 25,
    } in
    UpCloudServerConfig

    # Composition schemas
    let InfrastructureConfig = {
        servers | array,
        networks | array | default = [],
        load_balancers | array | default = [],
    } in
    InfrastructureConfig

## Testing Strategies

### Test-Driven Development

TDD Workflow:

1. Write Test First: Define expected behavior
2. Run Test (Fail): Confirm test fails as expected
3. Write Code: Implement minimal code to pass
4. Run Test (Pass): Confirm test now passes
5. Refactor: Improve code while keeping tests green

### Nushell Testing

Unit Test Pattern:

    # Function with embedded test
    def validate-server-name [name: string] -> bool {
        # @test: "valid-name" -> true
        # @test: "" -> false
        # @test: "name-with-spaces" -> false

        if ($name | str length) == 0 {
            return false
        }

        if ($name | str contains " ") {
            return false
        }

        true
    }

    # Separate test file
    # tests/unit/server-validation-test.nu
    def test_validate_server_name [] {
        # Valid cases
        assert (validate-server-name "valid-name")
        assert (validate-server-name "server123")

        # Invalid cases
        assert not (validate-server-name "")
        assert not (validate-server-name "name with spaces")
        assert not (validate-server-name "name@with!special")

        print "✅ validate-server-name tests passed"
    }

Integration Test Pattern:

    # tests/integration/server-lifecycle-test.nu
    def test_complete_server_lifecycle [] {
        # Setup
        let test_server = "test-server-" + (date now | format date "%Y%m%d%H%M%S")

        try {
            # Test creation
            let create_result = (create-server $test_server --dry-run)
            assert ($create_result.status == "dry-run")

            # Test validation
            let validate_result = (validate-server-config $test_server)
            assert $validate_result

            print $"✅ Server lifecycle test passed for ($test_server)"
        } catch { |e|
            print $"❌ Server lifecycle test failed: ($e.msg)"
            exit 1
        }
    }

### Rust Testing

Unit Testing:

    #[cfg(test)]
    mod tests {
        use super::*;
        use tokio_test;

        #[test]
        fn test_validate_server_name() {
            assert!(validate_server_name("valid-name"));
            assert!(validate_server_name("server123"));

            assert!(!validate_server_name(""));
            assert!(!validate_server_name("name with spaces"));
            assert!(!validate_server_name("name@special"));
        }

        #[tokio::test]
        async fn test_server_creation() {
            let config = test_config();
            let result = create_server("test-server", &config).await;

            assert!(result.is_ok());
            let server = result.unwrap();
            assert_eq!(server.name, "test-server");
            assert_eq!(server.status, "created");
        }
    }

Integration Testing:

    #[cfg(test)]
    mod integration_tests {
        use super::*;
        use testcontainers::*;

        #[tokio::test]
        async fn test_full_workflow() {
            // Setup test environment
            let docker = clients::Cli::default();
            let postgres = docker.run(images::postgres::Postgres::default());

            let config = TestConfig {
                database_url: format!("postgresql://localhost:{}/test",
                                     postgres.get_host_port_ipv4(5432))
            };

            // Test complete workflow
            let workflow = create_workflow(&config).await.unwrap();
            let result = execute_workflow(workflow).await.unwrap();

            assert_eq!(result.status, WorkflowStatus::Completed);
        }
    }

### Nickel Testing

Schema Validation Testing:

    # Test Nickel schemas
    nickel check schemas/

    # Validate specific schemas
    nickel typecheck schemas/server.ncl

    # Test with examples
    nickel eval schemas/server.ncl

    # Watch for changes and run tests
    cargo watch -x test -x check

    # Watch Nushell files
    find . -name "*.nu" | entr -r nu tests/run-all-tests.nu

    # Automated testing in workspace
    nu workspace.nu tools test-all --watch

## Debugging Techniques

### Debug Configuration

Enable Debug Mode:

    # Environment variables
    export PROVISIONING_DEBUG=true
    export PROVISIONING_LOG_LEVEL=debug
    export RUST_LOG=debug
    export RUST_BACKTRACE=1

    # Workspace debug
    export PROVISIONING_WORKSPACE_USER=$USER

### Nushell Debugging

Debug Techniques:

    # Debug prints
    def debug-server-creation [name: string] {
        print $"🐛 Creating server: ($name)"

        let config = get-provider-config
        print $"🐛 Config loaded: ($config | to json)"

        let result = try {
            create-server-api $name $config
        } catch { |e|
            print $"🐛 API call failed: ($e.msg)"
            $e
        }

        print $"🐛 Result: ($result | to json)"
        $result
    }

    # Conditional debugging
    def create-server [name: string] {
        if $env.PROVISIONING_DEBUG? == "true" {
            print $"Debug: Creating server ($name)"
        }

        # Implementation
    }

    # Interactive debugging
    def debug-interactive [] {
        print "🐛 Entering debug mode..."
        print "Available commands: $env.PATH"
        print "Current config: " (get-config | to json)

        # Drop into interactive shell
        nu --interactive
    }

Error Investigation:

    # Comprehensive error handling
    def safe-server-creation [name: string] {
        try {
            create-server $name
        } catch { |e|
            # Log error details
            {
                timestamp: (date now | format date "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),
                operation: "create-server",
                input: $name,
                error: $e.msg,
                debug: $e.debug?,
                env: {
                    user: $env.USER,
                    workspace: $env.PROVISIONING_WORKSPACE_USER?,
                    debug: $env.PROVISIONING_DEBUG?
                }
            } | save --append logs/error-debug.json

            # Re-throw with context
            error make {
                msg: $"Server creation failed: ($e.msg)",
                label: {text: "failed here", span: $e.span?}
            }
        }
    }

### Rust Debugging

Debug Logging:

    use tracing::{debug, info, warn, error, instrument};

    #[instrument]
    pub async fn create_server(name: &str) -> Result<ServerInfo> {
        debug!("Starting server creation for: {}", name);

        let config = load_config()
            .map_err(|e| {
                error!("Failed to load config: {:?}", e);
                e
            })?;

        info!("Configuration loaded successfully");
        debug!("Config details: {:?}", config);

        let server = provision_server(name, &config).await
            .map_err(|e| {
                error!("Provisioning failed for {}: {:?}", name, e);
                e
            })?;

        info!("Server {} created successfully", name);
        Ok(server)
    }

Interactive Debugging:

    // Use debugger breakpoints
    #[cfg(debug_assertions)]
    {
        println!("Debug: server creation starting");
        dbg!(&config);
        // Add breakpoint here in IDE
    }

### Log Analysis

Log Monitoring:

    # Follow all logs
    tail -f workspace/runtime/logs/$USER/*.log

    # Filter for errors
    grep -i error workspace/runtime/logs/$USER/*.log

    # Monitor specific component
    tail -f workspace/runtime/logs/$USER/orchestrator.log | grep -i workflow

    # Structured log analysis
    jq '.level == "ERROR"' workspace/runtime/logs/$USER/structured.jsonl

Debug Log Levels:

    # Different verbosity levels
    PROVISIONING_LOG_LEVEL=trace provisioning server create test
    PROVISIONING_LOG_LEVEL=debug provisioning server create test
    PROVISIONING_LOG_LEVEL=info provisioning server create test

## Best Practices

### Configuration Management

Never Hardcode:

    # Bad
    def get-api-url [] { "https://api.upcloud.com" }

    # Good
    def get-api-url [] {
        get-config-value "providers.upcloud.api_url" "https://api.upcloud.com"
    }

### Error Handling

Comprehensive Error Context:

    def create-server [name: string] {
        try {
            validate-server-name $name
        } catch { |e|
            error make {
                msg: $"Invalid server name '($name)': ($e.msg)",
                label: {text: "server name validation failed", span: $e.span?}
            }
        }

        try {
            provision-server $name
        } catch { |e|
            error make {
                msg: $"Server provisioning failed for '($name)': ($e.msg)",
                help: "Check provider credentials and quota limits"
            }
        }
    }

### Resource Management

Clean Up Resources:

    def with-temporary-server [name: string, action: closure] {
        let server = (create-server $name)

        try {
            do $action $server
        } catch { |e|
            # Clean up on error
            delete-server $name
            $e
        }

        # Clean up on success
        delete-server $name
    }

### Testing Best Practices

Test Isolation:

    def test-with-isolation [test_name: string, test_action: closure] {
        let test_workspace = $"test-($test_name)-(date now | format date '%Y%m%d%H%M%S')"

        try {
            # Set up isolated environment
            $env.PROVISIONING_WORKSPACE_USER = $test_workspace
            nu workspace.nu init --user-name $test_workspace

            # Run test
            do $test_action

            print $"✅ Test ($test_name) passed"
        } catch { |e|
            print $"❌ Test ($test_name) failed: ($e.msg)"
            exit 1
        } finally {
            # Clean up test environment
            nu workspace.nu cleanup --user-name $test_workspace --type all --force
        }
    }

This development workflow provides a comprehensive framework for efficient, quality-focused development while maintaining the project’s architectural principles and ensuring smooth collaboration across the team.

# Integration Guide

This document explains how the new project structure integrates with existing systems, API compatibility and versioning, database migration strategies, deployment considerations, and monitoring and observability.

## Table of Contents

1. Overview
2. Existing System Integration
3. API Compatibility and Versioning
4. Database Migration Strategies
5. Deployment Considerations
6. Monitoring and Observability
7. Legacy System Bridge
8. Migration Pathways
9. Troubleshooting Integration Issues

## Overview

Provisioning has been designed with integration as a core principle, ensuring seamless compatibility between new development-focused components and existing production systems while providing clear migration pathways.

Integration Principles:

- Backward Compatibility: All existing APIs and interfaces remain functional
- Gradual Migration: Systems can be migrated incrementally without disruption
- Dual Operation: New and legacy systems operate side-by-side during transition
- Zero Downtime: Migrations occur without service interruption
- Data Integrity: All data migrations are atomic and reversible

## Existing System Integration

### Command-Line Interface Integration

Seamless CLI Compatibility:

    # All existing commands continue to work unchanged
    ./core/nulib/provisioning server create web-01 2xCPU-4 GB
    ./core/nulib/provisioning taskserv install kubernetes
    ./core/nulib/provisioning cluster create buildkit

    # New commands available alongside existing ones
    ./src/core/nulib/provisioning server create web-01 2xCPU-4 GB --orchestrated
    nu workspace/tools/workspace.nu health --detailed

Path Resolution Integration:

    # Automatic path resolution between systems
    use workspace/lib/path-resolver.nu

    # Resolves to workspace path if available, falls back to core
    let config_path = (path-resolver resolve_path "config" "user" --fallback-to-core)

    # Seamless extension discovery
    let provider_path = (path-resolver resolve_extension "providers" "upcloud")

### Configuration System Bridge

Dual Configuration Support:

    # Configuration bridge supports both ENV and TOML
    def get-config-value-bridge [key: string, default: string = ""] -> string {
        # Try new TOML configuration first
        let toml_value = try {
            get-config-value $key
        } catch { null }

        if $toml_value != null {
            return $toml_value
        }

        # Fall back to ENV variable (legacy support)
        let env_key = ($key | str replace "." "_" | str upcase | $"PROVISIONING_($in)")
        let env_value = ($env | get $env_key | default null)

        if $env_value != null {
            return $env_value
        }

        # Use default if provided
        if $default != "" {
            return $default
        }

        # Error with helpful migration message
        error make {
            msg: $"Configuration not found: ($key)",
            help: $"Migrate from ($env_key) environment variable to ($key) in config file"
        }
    }

### Data Integration

Shared Data Access:

    # Unified data access across old and new systems
    def get-server-info [server_name: string] -> record {
        # Try new orchestrator data store first
        let orchestrator_data = try {
            get-orchestrator-server-data $server_name
        } catch { null }

        if $orchestrator_data != null {
            return $orchestrator_data
        }

        # Fall back to legacy file-based storage
        let legacy_data = try {
            get-legacy-server-data $server_name
        } catch { null }

        if $legacy_data != null {
            return ($legacy_data | migrate-to-new-format)
        }

        error make {msg: $"Server not found: ($server_name)"}
    }

### Process Integration

Hybrid Process Management:

    # Orchestrator-aware process management
    def create-server-integrated [
        name: string,
        plan: string,
        --orchestrated: bool = false
    ] -> record {

            # Use new orchestrator workflow
            return (create-server-workflow $name $plan)
        } else {
            # Use legacy direct creation
            return (create-server-direct $name $plan)

        } catch {
            false
        }
    }

## API Compatibility and Versioning

### REST API Versioning

API Version Strategy:

- v1: Legacy compatibility API (existing functionality)
- v2: Enhanced API with orchestrator features
- v3: Full workflow and batch operation support

Version Header Support:

    # API calls with version specification
    curl -H "API-Version: v1" http://localhost:9090/servers
    curl -H "API-Version: v2" http://localhost:9090/workflows/servers/create
    curl -H "API-Version: v3" http://localhost:9090/workflows/batch/submit

### API Compatibility Layer

Backward Compatible Endpoints:

    // Rust API compatibility layer
    #[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
    struct ApiRequest {
        version: Option<String>,
        #[serde(flatten)]
        payload: serde_json::Value,
    }

    async fn handle_versioned_request(
        headers: HeaderMap,
        req: ApiRequest,
    ) -> Result<ApiResponse, ApiError> {
        let api_version = headers
            .get("API-Version")
            .and_then(|v| v.to_str().ok())
            .unwrap_or("v1");

        match api_version {
            "v1" => handle_v1_request(req.payload).await,
            "v2" => handle_v2_request(req.payload).await,
            "v3" => handle_v3_request(req.payload).await,
            _ => Err(ApiError::UnsupportedVersion(api_version.to_string())),
        }
    }

    // V1 compatibility endpoint
    async fn handle_v1_request(payload: serde_json::Value) -> Result<ApiResponse, ApiError> {
        // Transform request to legacy format
        let legacy_request = transform_to_legacy_format(payload)?;

        // Execute using legacy system
        let result = execute_legacy_operation(legacy_request).await?;

        // Transform response to v1 format
        Ok(transform_to_v1_response(result))
    }

### Schema Evolution

Backward Compatible Schema Changes:

    # API schema with version support
    let ServerCreateRequest = {
        # V1 fields (always supported)
        name | string,
        plan | string,
        zone | string | default = "auto",

        # V2 additions (optional for backward compatibility)
        orchestrated | bool | default = false,
        workflow_options | { } | optional,

        # V3 additions
        batch_options | { } | optional,
        dependencies | array | default = [],

        # Version constraints
        api_version | string | default = "v1",
    } in
    ServerCreateRequest

    # Conditional validation based on API version
    let WorkflowOptions = {
        wait_for_completion | bool | default = true,
        timeout_seconds | number | default = 300,
        retry_count | number | default = 3,
    } in
    WorkflowOptions

### Client SDK Compatibility

Multi-Version Client Support:

    # Nushell client with version support
    def "client create-server" [
        name: string,
        plan: string,
        --api-version: string = "v1",
        --orchestrated: bool = false
    ] -> record {
        let endpoint = match $api_version {
            "v1" => "/servers",
            "v2" => "/workflows/servers/create",
            "v3" => "/workflows/batch/submit",
            _ => (error make {msg: $"Unsupported API version: ($api_version)"})
        }

        let request_body = match $api_version {
            "v1" => {name: $name, plan: $plan},
            "v2" => {name: $name, plan: $plan, orchestrated: $orchestrated},
            "v3" => {
                operations: [{
                    id: "create_server",
                    type: "server_create",
                    config: {name: $name, plan: $plan}
                }]
            },
            _ => (error make {msg: $"Unsupported API version: ($api_version)"})
        }

        http post $"http://localhost:9090($endpoint)" $request_body
            --headers {
                "Content-Type": "application/json",
                "API-Version": $api_version
            }
    }

### Migration Scripts

Automated Database Migration:

    # Database migration orchestration
    def migrate-database [
        --from: string = "filesystem",
        --to: string = "surrealdb",
        --backup-first: bool = true,
        --verify: bool = true
    ] -> record {

                }
            }

        print $"Migration from ($from) to ($to) completed successfully"
        {from: $from, to: $to, status: "completed", migrated_at: (date now)}
    }

File System to SurrealDB Migration:

    def migrate_filesystem_to_surrealdb [] -> record {
        # Initialize SurrealDB connection
        let db = (connect-surrealdb)

        # Migrate server data
        let server_files = (ls data/servers/*.json)
        let migrated_servers = []

        for server_file in $server_files {
            let server_data = (open $server_file.name | from json)

            # Transform to new schema
            let server_record = {
                id: $server_data.id,
                name: $server_data.name,
                plan: $server_data.plan,
                zone: ($server_data.zone? | default "unknown"),

            # Insert into SurrealDB
            let insert_result = try {

### Data Integrity Verification

Migration Verification:

    def verify-migration [from: string, to: string] -> record {
        print "Verifying data integrity..."

        let source_data = (read-source-data $from)
        let target_data = (read-target-data $to)

        let errors = []

        # Verify record counts
        if $source_data.servers.count != $target_data.servers.count {
            $errors = ($errors | append "Server count mismatch")
        }

        # Verify key records
        for server in $source_data.servers {
            let target_server = ($target_data.servers | where id == $server.id | first)

            if ($target_server | is-empty) {
                $errors = ($errors | append $"Missing server: ($server.id)")
            } else {
                # Verify critical fields
                if $target_server.name != $server.name {
                    $errors = ($errors | append $"Name mismatch for server ($server.id)")
                }

                if $target_server.status != $server.status {
                    $errors = ($errors | append $"Status mismatch for server ($server.id)")
                }
            }
        }

        {
            success: ($errors | length) == 0,
            errors: $errors,

### Deployment Strategies

Blue-Green Deployment:

    # Blue-Green deployment with integration bridge
    # Phase 1: Deploy new system alongside existing (Green environment)
    cd src/tools
    make all
    make create-installers

    # Install new system without disrupting existing
    ./packages/installers/install-provisioning-2.0.0.sh \
        --install-path /opt/provisioning-v2 \
        --no-replace-existing \
        --enable-bridge-mode

    # Phase 2: Start orchestrator and validate integration
    /opt/provisioning-v2/bin/orchestrator start --bridge-mode --legacy-path /opt/provisioning-v1

    # Phase 3: Gradual traffic shift
    # Route 10% traffic to new system
    nginx-traffic-split --new-backend 10%

    # Validate metrics and gradually increase
    nginx-traffic-split --new-backend 50%
    nginx-traffic-split --new-backend 90%

    # Phase 4: Complete cutover
    nginx-traffic-split --new-backend 100%
    /opt/provisioning-v1/bin/orchestrator stop

Rolling Update:

    def rolling-deployment [
        --target-version: string,
        --batch-size: int = 3,
        --health-check-interval: duration = 30sec

### Metrics Integration

Unified Metrics Collection:

    # Metrics bridge for legacy and new systems
    def collect-system-metrics [] -> record {
        let legacy_metrics = collect-legacy-metrics
        let new_metrics = collect-new-metrics

### Logging Integration

Unified Logging Strategy:

    # Structured logging bridge
    def log-integrated [
        level: string,
        message: string,
        --component: string = "bridge",
        --legacy-compat: bool = true

            level: $level,
            component: $component,
            message: $message,
            system: "integrated",
            correlation_id: (generate-correlation-id)
        }

        # Write to structured log (new system)
        $log_entry | to json | save --append logs/integrated.jsonl

            $legacy_entry | save --append logs/legacy.log
        }

        # Send to monitoring system

### Health Check Integration

Comprehensive Health Monitoring:

    def health-check-integrated [] -> record {
        let health_checks = [
            {name: "legacy-system", check: (check-legacy-health)},
            {name: "orchestrator", check: (check-orchestrator-health)},

                {status: "unhealthy", error: $e.msg}
            }

            {name: $check.name, result: $result}
        })

        let healthy_count = ($results | where result.status == "healthy" | length)
        let total_count = ($results | length)

            services: $results,
            checked_at: (date now)
        }
    }

## Legacy System Bridge

### Bridge Architecture

Bridge Component Design:

    # Legacy system bridge module
    export module bridge {
        # Bridge state management
        export def init-bridge [] -> record {
            let bridge_config = get-config-section "bridge"

            {
                legacy_path: ($bridge_config.legacy_path? | default "/opt/provisioning-v1"),

                mode: ($bridge_config.mode? | default "compatibility"),
                monitoring_enabled: ($bridge_config.monitoring? | default true),
                initialized_at: (date now)
            }
        }

        # Command translation layer
        export def translate-command [
            legacy_command: list<string>
        ] -> list<string> {
            match $legacy_command {
                ["provisioning", "server", "create", $name, $plan, ...$args] => {
                    let new_args = ($args | each { |arg|
                        match $arg {
                            "--dry-run" => "--dry-run",
                            "--wait" => "--wait",
                            $zone if ($zone | str starts-with "--zone=") => $zone,
                            _ => $arg
                        }
                    })

                    ["provisioning", "server", "create", $name, $plan] ++ $new_args ++ ["--orchestrated"]
                },
                _ => $legacy_command  # Pass through unchanged
            }
        }

        # Data format translation
        export def translate-response [
            legacy_response: record,
            target_format: string = "v2"
        ] -> record {
            match $target_format {
                "v2" => {
                    id: ($legacy_response.id? | default (generate-uuid)),

                _ => $legacy_response
            }
        }
    }

### Bridge Operation Modes

Compatibility Mode:

    # Full compatibility with legacy system
    def run-compatibility-mode [] {
        print "Starting bridge in compatibility mode..."

        # Intercept legacy commands
        let legacy_commands = monitor-legacy-commands

        for command in $legacy_commands {
            let translated = (bridge translate-command $command)

            try {
                let result = (execute-new-system $translated)
                let legacy_result = (bridge translate-response $result "v1")
                respond-to-legacy $legacy_result
            } catch { |e|
                # Fall back to legacy system on error
                let fallback_result = (execute-legacy-system $command)
                respond-to-legacy $fallback_result
            }
        }
    }

Migration Mode:

    # Gradual migration with traffic splitting
    def run-migration-mode [
        --new-system-percentage: int = 50
    ] {
        print $"Starting bridge in migration mode (($new_system_percentage)% new system)"

        let commands = monitor-all-commands

        for command in $commands {
            let route_to_new = ((random integer 1..100) <= $new_system_percentage)

            if $route_to_new {
                try {
                    execute-new-system $command
                } catch {
                    # Fall back to legacy on failure
                    execute-legacy-system $command
                }
            } else {
                execute-legacy-system $command
            }
        }
    }

## Migration Pathways

### Migration Phases

Phase 1: Parallel Deployment

- Deploy new system alongside existing
- Enable bridge for compatibility
- Begin data synchronization
- Monitor integration health

Phase 2: Gradual Migration

- Route increasing traffic to new system
- Migrate data in background
- Validate consistency
- Address integration issues

Phase 3: Full Migration

- Complete traffic cutover
- Decommission legacy system
- Clean up bridge components
- Finalize data migration

### Migration Automation

Automated Migration Orchestration:

    def execute-migration-plan [
        migration_plan: string,
        --dry-run: bool = false,
        --skip-backup: bool = false
    ] -> record {
        let plan = (open $migration_plan | from yaml)

        if not $skip_backup {
            create-pre-migration-backup
        }

        let migration_results = []

        for phase in $plan.phases {
            print $"Executing migration phase: ($phase.name)"

            if $dry_run {
                print $"[DRY RUN] Would execute phase: ($phase)"
                continue
            }

            let phase_result = try {
                execute-migration-phase $phase
            } catch { |e|
                print $"Migration phase failed: ($e.msg)"

                if $phase.rollback_on_failure? | default false {
                    print "Rolling back migration phase..."
                    rollback-migration-phase $phase
                }

                error make {msg: $"Migration failed at phase ($phase.name): ($e.msg)"}
            }

            $migration_results = ($migration_results | append $phase_result)

            # Wait between phases if specified
            if "wait_seconds" in $phase {
                sleep ($phase.wait_seconds * 1sec)
            }
        }

        {
            migration_plan: $migration_plan,
            phases_completed: ($migration_results | length),
            status: "completed",
            completed_at: (date now),
            results: $migration_results
        }
    }

Migration Validation:

    def validate-migration-readiness [] -> record {
        let checks = [
            {name: "backup-available", check: (check-backup-exists)},
            {name: "new-system-healthy", check: (check-new-system-health)},
            {name: "database-accessible", check: (check-database-connectivity)},
            {name: "configuration-valid", check: (validate-migration-config)},
            {name: "resources-available", check: (check-system-resources)},
            {name: "network-connectivity", check: (check-network-health)}
        ]

        let results = ($checks | each { |check|
            {
                name: $check.name,
                result: (do $check.check),
                timestamp: (date now)
            }
        })

        let failed_checks = ($results | where result.status != "ready")

        {
            ready_for_migration: ($failed_checks | length) == 0,
            checks: $results,
            failed_checks: $failed_checks,
            validated_at: (date now)
        }
    }

## Troubleshooting Integration Issues

### Common Integration Problems

#### API Compatibility Issues

Problem: Version mismatch between client and server

    # Diagnosis
    curl -H "API-Version: v1" http://localhost:9090/health
    curl -H "API-Version: v2" http://localhost:9090/health

    # Solution: Check supported versions
    curl http://localhost:9090/api/versions

    # Update client API version
    export PROVISIONING_API_VERSION=v2

#### Configuration Bridge Issues

Problem: Configuration not found in either system

    # Diagnosis
    def diagnose-config-issue [key: string] -> record {
        let toml_result = try {
            get-config-value $key
        } catch { |e| {status: "failed", error: $e.msg} }

        let env_key = ($key | str replace "." "_" | str upcase | $"PROVISIONING_($in)")
        let env_result = try {
            $env | get $env_key
        } catch { |e| {status: "failed", error: $e.msg} }

        {
            key: $key,
            toml_config: $toml_result,
            env_config: $env_result,
            migration_needed: ($toml_result.status == "failed" and $env_result.status != "failed")
        }
    }

    # Solution: Migrate configuration
    def migrate-single-config [key: string] {
        let diagnosis = (diagnose-config-issue $key)

        if $diagnosis.migration_needed {
            let env_value = $diagnosis.env_config
            set-config-value $key $env_value
            print $"Migrated ($key) from environment variable"
        }
    }

#### Database Integration Issues

Problem: Data inconsistency between systems

    # Diagnosis and repair
    def repair-data-consistency [] -> record {
        let legacy_data = (read-legacy-data)
        let new_data = (read-new-data)

        let inconsistencies = []

        # Check server records
        for server in $legacy_data.servers {
            let new_server = ($new_data.servers | where id == $server.id | first)

            if ($new_server | is-empty) {
                print $"Missing server in new system: ($server.id)"
                create-server-record $server
                $inconsistencies = ($inconsistencies | append {type: "missing", id: $server.id})
            } else if $new_server != $server {
                print $"Inconsistent server data: ($server.id)"
                update-server-record $server
                $inconsistencies = ($inconsistencies | append {type: "inconsistent", id: $server.id})
            }
        }

        {
            inconsistencies_found: ($inconsistencies | length),
            repairs_applied: ($inconsistencies | length),
            repaired_at: (date now)
        }
    }

            check-bridge-status
        } catch { |e| {status: "error", error: $e.msg} }

        let config_health = try {
            validate-config-integration
        } catch { |e| {status: "error", error: $e.msg} }

        print $"Legacy System: ($legacy_health.status)"
        print $"Orchestrator: ($orchestrator_health.status)"
        print $"Bridge: ($bridge_health.status)"
        print $"Configuration: ($config_health.status)"

## Troubleshooting

### Common Build Issues

#### Rust Compilation Errors

Error: `linker 'cc' not found`

    # Solution: Install build essentials
    sudo apt-get install build-essential  # Linux
    xcode-select --install                 # macOS

Error: `target not found`

    # Solution: Install target
    rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Error: Cross-compilation linking errors

    # Solution: Use cross instead of cargo
    cargo install cross
    make build-platform CROSS=true

#### Nushell Script Errors

Error: `command not found`

    # Solution: Ensure Nushell is in PATH
    which nu
    export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"

Error: Permission denied

    # Solution: Make scripts executable
    chmod +x src/tools/build/*.nu

Error: Module not found

    # Solution: Check working directory
    cd src/tools
    nu build/compile-platform.nu --help

#### Nickel Validation Errors

Error: `nickel command not found`

    # Solution: Install Nickel
    cargo install nickel
    # or
    brew install nickel

Error: Schema validation failed

    # Solution: Check Nickel syntax
    nickel fmt schemas/
    nickel check schemas/

### Build Performance Issues

#### Slow Compilation

Optimizations:

    # Enable parallel builds
    make build-all PARALLEL=true

    # Use faster linker
    export RUSTFLAGS="-C link-arg=-fuse-ld=lld"

    # Increase build jobs
    export CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=8

Cargo Configuration (`~/.cargo/config.toml`):

    [build]
    jobs = 8

    [target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
    linker = "lld"

#### Memory Issues

Solutions:

    # Reduce parallel jobs
    export CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=2

    # Use debug build for development
    make dev-build BUILD_MODE=debug

    # Clean up between builds
    make clean-dist

### Distribution Issues

#### Missing Assets

Validation:

    # Test distribution
    make test-dist

    # Detailed validation
    nu src/tools/package/validate-package.nu dist/

#### Size Optimization

Optimizations:

    # Strip binaries
    make package-binaries STRIP=true

    # Enable compression
    make dist-generate COMPRESS=true

    # Use minimal variant
    make dist-generate VARIANTS=minimal

### Debug Mode

Enable Debug Logging:

    # Set environment
    export PROVISIONING_DEBUG=true
    export RUST_LOG=debug

    # Run with debug
    make debug

    # Verbose make output
    make build-all VERBOSE=true

Debug Information:

    # Show debug information
    make debug-info

    # Build system status
    make status

    # Tool information
    make info

## Rollback Procedures

### Rollback Scenarios

Common Rollback Triggers:

- Critical bugs discovered post-release
- Security vulnerabilities identified
- Performance regression
- Compatibility issues
- Infrastructure failures

### Rollback Process

Automated Rollback:

    # Rollback latest release
    nu src/tools/release/rollback-release.nu --version 2.1.0

    # Rollback with specific target
    nu src/tools/release/rollback-release.nu \
        --from-version 2.1.0 \
        --to-version 2.0.5 \
        --update-registries \
        --notify-users

Manual Rollback Steps:

    # 1. Identify target version
    git tag -l | grep -v 2.1.0 | tail -5

    # 2. Create rollback release
    nu src/tools/release/create-release.nu \
        --version 2.0.6 \
        --rollback-from 2.1.0 \
        --urgent

    # 3. Update package managers
    nu src/tools/release/update-registry.nu \
        --version 2.0.6 \
        --rollback-notice "Critical fix for 2.1.0 issues"

    # 4. Notify users
    nu src/tools/release/notify-users.nu \
        --channels slack,discord,email \
        --message-type rollback \
        --urgent

### Rollback Safety

Pre-Rollback Validation:

- Validate target version integrity
- Check compatibility matrix
- Verify rollback procedure testing
- Confirm communication plan

Rollback Testing:

    # Test rollback in staging
    nu src/tools/release/rollback-release.nu \
        --version 2.1.0 \
        --target-version 2.0.5 \
        --dry-run \
        --staging-environment

    # Validate rollback success
    make test-dist DIST_VERSION=2.0.5

### Emergency Procedures

Critical Security Rollback:

    # Emergency rollback (bypasses normal procedures)
    nu src/tools/release/rollback-release.nu \
        --version 2.1.0 \
        --emergency \
        --security-issue \
        --immediate-notify

Infrastructure Failure Recovery:

    # Failover to backup infrastructure
    nu src/tools/release/rollback-release.nu \
        --infrastructure-failover \
        --backup-registry \
        --mirror-sync

# Repository Restructuring - Implementation Guide

Status: Ready for Implementation Estimated Time: 12-16 days Priority: High Related: Architecture Analysis

## Overview

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for implementing the repository restructuring and distribution system improvements. Each phase includes specific commands, validation steps, and rollback procedures.

## Prerequisites

### Required Tools

- Nushell 0.107.1+
- Rust toolchain (for platform builds)
- Git
- tar/gzip
- curl or wget

### Recommended Tools

- Just (task runner)
- ripgrep (for code searches)
- fd (for file finding)

### Before Starting

1. Create full backup
2. Notify team members
3. Create implementation branch
4. Set aside dedicated time

## Phase 1: Repository Restructuring (Days 1-4)

### Day 1: Backup and Analysis

#### Step 1.1: Create Complete Backup

    # Create timestamped backup
    BACKUP_DIR="/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d)"
    cp -r /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning "$BACKUP_DIR"

    # Verify backup
    ls -lh "$BACKUP_DIR"
    du -sh "$BACKUP_DIR"

    # Create backup manifest
    find "$BACKUP_DIR" -type f > "$BACKUP_DIR/manifest.txt"
    echo "✅ Backup created: $BACKUP_DIR"

#### Step 1.2: Analyze Current State

    cd /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning

    # Count workspace directories
    echo "=== Workspace Directories ==="
    fd workspace -t d

    # Analyze workspace contents
    echo "=== Active Workspace ==="
    du -sh workspace/

    echo "=== Backup Workspaces ==="
    du -sh _workspace/ backup-workspace/ workspace-librecloud/

    # Find obsolete directories
    echo "=== Build Artifacts ==="
    du -sh target/ wrks/ NO/

    # Save analysis
    {
        echo "# Current State Analysis - $(date)"
        echo ""
        echo "## Workspace Directories"
        fd workspace -t d
        echo ""
        echo "## Directory Sizes"
        du -sh workspace/ _workspace/ backup-workspace/ workspace-librecloud/ 2>/dev/null
        echo ""
        echo "## Build Artifacts"
        du -sh target/ wrks/ NO/ 2>/dev/null
    } > docs/development/current-state-analysis.txt

    echo "✅ Analysis complete: docs/development/current-state-analysis.txt"

#### Step 1.3: Identify Dependencies

    # Find all hardcoded paths
    echo "=== Hardcoded Paths in Nushell Scripts ==="
    rg -t nu "workspace/|_workspace/|backup-workspace/" provisioning/core/nulib/ | tee hardcoded-paths.txt

    # Find ENV references (legacy)
    echo "=== ENV References ==="
    rg "PROVISIONING_" provisioning/core/nulib/ | wc -l

    # Find workspace references in configs
    echo "=== Config References ==="
    rg "workspace" provisioning/config/

    echo "✅ Dependencies mapped"

#### Step 1.4: Create Implementation Branch

    # Create and switch to implementation branch
    git checkout -b feat/repo-restructure

    # Commit analysis
    git add docs/development/current-state-analysis.txt
    git commit -m "docs: add current state analysis for restructuring"

    echo "✅ Implementation branch created: feat/repo-restructure"

Validation:

- ✅ Backup exists and is complete
- ✅ Analysis document created
- ✅ Dependencies mapped
- ✅ Implementation branch ready

### Day 2: Directory Restructuring

#### Step 2.1: Create New Directory Structure

    cd /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning

    # Create distribution directory structure
    mkdir -p distribution/{packages,installers,registry}
    echo "✅ Created distribution/"

    # Create workspace structure (keep tracked templates)
    mkdir -p workspace/{infra,config,extensions,runtime}/{.gitkeep}
    mkdir -p workspace/templates/{minimal,kubernetes,multi-cloud}
    echo "✅ Created workspace/"

    # Verify
    tree -L 2 distribution/ workspace/

#### Step 2.2: Move Build Artifacts

    # Move Rust build artifacts
    if [ -d "target" ]; then
        mv target distribution/target
        echo "✅ Moved target/ to distribution/"
    fi

    # Move KCL packages
    if [ -d "provisioning/tools/dist" ]; then
        mv provisioning/tools/dist/* distribution/packages/ 2>/dev/null || true
        echo "✅ Moved packages to distribution/"
    fi

    # Move any existing packages
    find . -name "*.tar.gz" -o -name "*.zip" | grep -v node_modules | while read pkg; do
        mv "$pkg" distribution/packages/
        echo "  Moved: $pkg"
    done

#### Step 2.3: Consolidate Workspaces

    # Identify active workspace
    echo "=== Current Workspace Status ==="
    ls -la workspace/ _workspace/ backup-workspace/ 2>/dev/null

    # Interactive workspace consolidation
    read -p "Which workspace is currently active? (workspace/_workspace/backup-workspace): " ACTIVE_WS

    if [ "$ACTIVE_WS" != "workspace" ]; then
        echo "Consolidating $ACTIVE_WS to workspace/"

        # Merge infra configs
        if [ -d "$ACTIVE_WS/infra" ]; then
            cp -r "$ACTIVE_WS/infra/"* workspace/infra/
        fi

        # Merge configs
        if [ -d "$ACTIVE_WS/config" ]; then
            cp -r "$ACTIVE_WS/config/"* workspace/config/
        fi

        # Merge extensions
        if [ -d "$ACTIVE_WS/extensions" ]; then
            cp -r "$ACTIVE_WS/extensions/"* workspace/extensions/
        fi

        echo "✅ Consolidated workspace"
    fi

    # Archive old workspace directories
    mkdir -p .archived-workspaces
    for ws in _workspace backup-workspace workspace-librecloud; do
        if [ -d "$ws" ] && [ "$ws" != "$ACTIVE_WS" ]; then
            mv "$ws" ".archived-workspaces/$(basename $ws)-$(date +%Y%m%d)"
            echo "  Archived: $ws"
        fi
    done

    echo "✅ Workspaces consolidated"

#### Step 2.4: Remove Obsolete Directories

    # Remove build artifacts (already moved)
    rm -rf wrks/
    echo "✅ Removed wrks/"

    # Remove test/scratch directories
    rm -rf NO/
    echo "✅ Removed NO/"

    # Archive presentations (optional)
    if [ -d "presentations" ]; then
        read -p "Archive presentations directory? (y/N): " ARCHIVE_PRES
        if [ "$ARCHIVE_PRES" = "y" ]; then
            tar czf presentations-archive-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz presentations/
            rm -rf presentations/
            echo "✅ Archived and removed presentations/"
        fi
    fi

    # Remove empty directories
    find . -type d -empty -delete 2>/dev/null || true

    echo "✅ Cleanup complete"

#### Step 2.5: Update .gitignore

    # Backup existing .gitignore
    cp .gitignore .gitignore.backup

    # Update .gitignore
    cat >> .gitignore << 'EOF'

    # ============================================================================

    EOF

    echo "✅ Updated .gitignore"

#### Step 2.6: Commit Restructuring

    # Stage changes
    git add -A

    # Show what's being committed
    git status

    # Commit
    git commit -m "refactor: restructure repository for clean distribution

    - Consolidate workspace directories to single workspace/
    - Move build artifacts to distribution/
    - Remove obsolete directories (wrks/, NO/)
    - Update .gitignore for new structure
    - Archive old workspace variants

    This is part of Phase 1 of the repository restructuring plan.

    Related: docs/architecture/repo-dist-analysis.md"

    echo "✅ Restructuring committed"

Validation:

- ✅ Single `workspace/` directory exists
- ✅ Build artifacts in `distribution/`
- ✅ No `wrks/`, `NO/` directories
- ✅ `.gitignore` updated
- ✅ Changes committed

### Day 3: Update Path References

    # Create migration script
    cat > provisioning/tools/migration/update-paths.nu << 'EOF'
    #!/usr/bin/env nu
    # Path update script for repository restructuring

    # Find and replace path references
    export def main [] {
        print "🔧 Updating path references..."

        let replacements = [
            ["_workspace/" "workspace/"]
            ["backup-workspace/" "workspace/"]
            ["workspace-librecloud/" "workspace/"]
            ["wrks/" "distribution/"]
            ["NO/" "distribution/"]
        ]

        let files = (fd -e nu -e toml -e md . provisioning/)

        mut updated_count = 0

        for file in $files {
            mut content = (open $file)
            mut modified = false

            for replacement in $replacements {
                let old = $replacement.0
                let new = $replacement.1

                if ($content | str contains $old) {
                    $content = ($content | str replace -a $old $new)
                    $modified = true
                }
            }

                $updated_count = $updated_count + 1
                print $"  ✓ Updated: ($file)"
            }
        }

        print $"✅ Updated ($updated_count) files"
    }
    EOF

    chmod +x provisioning/tools/migration/update-paths.nu

#### Step 3.2: Run Path Updates

    # Create backup before updates
    git stash
    git checkout -b feat/path-updates

    # Run update script
    nu provisioning/tools/migration/update-paths.nu

    # Review changes
    git diff

    # Test a sample file
    nu -c "use provisioning/core/nulib/servers/create.nu; print 'OK'"

#### Step 3.3: Update CLAUDE.md

    # Update CLAUDE.md with new paths
    cat > CLAUDE.md.new << 'EOF'
    # CLAUDE.md

    [Keep existing content, update paths section...]

    ## Updated Path Structure (2025-10-01)

    EOF

    # Review changes
    diff CLAUDE.md CLAUDE.md.new

    # Apply if satisfied
    mv CLAUDE.md.new CLAUDE.md

#### Step 3.4: Update Documentation

    # Find all documentation files
    fd -e md . docs/

    # Update each doc with new paths
    # This is semi-automated - review each file

    # Create list of docs to update
    fd -e md . docs/ > docs-to-update.txt

    # Manual review and update

# Project Structure Guide

This document provides a comprehensive overview of the provisioning project’s structure after the major reorganization, explaining both the new development-focused organization and the preserved existing functionality.

## Table of Contents

1. Overview
2. New Structure vs Legacy
3. Core Directories
4. Development Workspace
5. File Naming Conventions
6. Navigation Guide
7. Migration Path

## Overview

The provisioning project has been restructured to support a dual-organization approach:

- `src/`: Development-focused structure with build tools, distribution system, and core components
- Legacy directories: Preserved in their original locations for backward compatibility
- `workspace/`: Development workspace with tools and runtime management

This reorganization enables efficient development workflows while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing deployments.

# CTRL-C Handling Implementation Notes

## Overview

Implemented graceful CTRL-C handling for sudo password prompts during server creation/generation operations.

## Problem Statement

When `fix_local_hosts: true` is set, the provisioning tool requires sudo access to modify `/etc/hosts` and SSH config. When a user cancels the sudo password prompt (no password, wrong password, timeout), the system would:

1. Exit with code 1 (sudo failed)
2. Propagate null values up the call stack
3. Show cryptic Nushell errors about pipeline failures
4. Leave the operation in an inconsistent state

Important Unix Limitation: Pressing CTRL-C at the sudo password prompt sends SIGINT to the entire process group, interrupting Nushell before exit code handling can occur. This cannot be caught and is expected Unix behavior.

## Solution Architecture

### Key Principle: Return Values, Not Exit Codes

Instead of using `exit 130` which kills the entire process, we use return values to signal cancellation and let each layer of the call stack handle it gracefully.

### Three-Layer Approach

1. Detection Layer (ssh.nu helper functions)

   - Detects sudo cancellation via exit code + stderr
   - Returns `false` instead of calling `exit`

2. Propagation Layer (ssh.nu core functions)

   - `on_server_ssh()`: Returns `false` on cancellation
   - `server_ssh()`: Uses `reduce` to propagate failures

3. Handling Layer (create.nu, generate.nu)

   - Checks return values
   - Displays user-friendly messages
   - Returns `false` to caller

## Implementation Details

### 1. Helper Functions (ssh.nu:11-32)

    def check_sudo_cached []: nothing -> bool {
      let result = (do --ignore-errors { ^sudo -n true } | complete)
      $result.exit_code == 0
    }

    def run_sudo_with_interrupt_check [
      command: closure
      operation_name: string
    ]: nothing -> bool {
      let result = (do --ignore-errors { do $command } | complete)
      if $result.exit_code == 1 and ($result.stderr | str contains "password is required") {
        print "\n⚠ Operation cancelled - sudo password required but not provided"
        print "ℹ Run 'sudo -v' first to cache credentials, or run without --fix-local-hosts"
        return false  # Signal cancellation
      } else if $result.exit_code != 0 and $result.exit_code != 1 {
        error make {msg: $"($operation_name) failed: ($result.stderr)"}
      }
      true
    }

Design Decision: Return `bool` instead of throwing error or calling `exit`. This allows the caller to decide how to handle cancellation.

### 2. Pre-emptive Warning (ssh.nu:155-160)

    if $server.fix_local_hosts and not (check_sudo_cached) {
      print "\n⚠ Sudo access required for --fix-local-hosts"
      print "ℹ You will be prompted for your password, or press CTRL-C to cancel"
      print "  Tip: Run 'sudo -v' beforehand to cache credentials\n"
    }

Design Decision: Warn users upfront so they’re not surprised by the password prompt.

### 3. CTRL-C Detection (ssh.nu:171-199)

All sudo commands wrapped with detection:

    let result = (do --ignore-errors { ^sudo <command> } | complete)
    if $result.exit_code == 1 and ($result.stderr | str contains "password is required") {
      print "\n⚠ Operation cancelled"
      return false
    }

Design Decision: Use `do --ignore-errors` + `complete` to capture both exit code and stderr without throwing exceptions.

### 4. State Accumulation Pattern (ssh.nu:122-129)

Using Nushell’s `reduce` instead of mutable variables:

    let all_succeeded = ($settings.data.servers | reduce -f true { |server, acc|
      if $text_match == null or $server.hostname == $text_match {
        let result = (on_server_ssh $settings $server $ip_type $request_from $run)
        $acc and $result
      } else {
        $acc
      }
    })

Design Decision: Nushell doesn’t allow mutable variable capture in closures. Use `reduce` for accumulating boolean state across iterations.

### 5. Caller Handling (create.nu:262-266, generate.nu:269-273)

    let ssh_result = (on_server_ssh $settings $server "pub" "create" false)
    if not $ssh_result {
      _print "\n✗ Server creation cancelled"
      return false
    }

Design Decision: Check return value and provide context-specific message before returning.

## Error Flow Diagram

    User presses CTRL-C during password prompt
        ↓
    sudo exits with code 1, stderr: "password is required"
        ↓
    do --ignore-errors captures exit code & stderr
        ↓
    Detection logic identifies cancellation
        ↓
    Print user-friendly message
        ↓
    Return false (not exit!)
        ↓
    on_server_ssh returns false
        ↓
    Caller (create.nu/generate.nu) checks return value
        ↓
    Print "✗ Server creation cancelled"
        ↓
    Return false to settings.nu
        ↓
    settings.nu handles false gracefully (no append)
        ↓
    Clean exit, no cryptic errors

## Nushell Idioms Used

### 1. `do --ignore-errors` + `complete`

Captures both stdout, stderr, and exit code without throwing:

    let result = (do --ignore-errors { ^sudo command } | complete)
    # result = { stdout: "...", stderr: "...", exit_code: 1 }

### 2. `reduce` for Accumulation

Instead of mutable variables in loops:

    # ❌ BAD - mutable capture in closure
    mut all_succeeded = true
    $servers | each { |s|
      $all_succeeded = false  # Error: capture of mutable variable
    }

    # ✅ GOOD - reduce with accumulator
    let all_succeeded = ($servers | reduce -f true { |s, acc|
      $acc and (check_server $s)
    })

### 3. Early Returns for Error Handling

    if not $condition {
      print "Error message"
      return false
    }
    # Continue with happy path

## Testing Scenarios

### Scenario 1: CTRL-C During First Sudo Command

    provisioning -c server create
    # Password: [CTRL-C]

    # Expected Output:
    # ⚠ Operation cancelled - sudo password required but not provided
    # ℹ Run 'sudo -v' first to cache credentials
    # ✗ Server creation cancelled

### Scenario 2: Pre-cached Credentials

    sudo -v
    provisioning -c server create

    # Expected: No password prompt, smooth operation

### Scenario 3: Wrong Password 3 Times

    provisioning -c server create
    # Password: [wrong]
    # Password: [wrong]
    # Password: [wrong]

    # Expected: Same as CTRL-C (treated as cancellation)

### Scenario 4: Multiple Servers, Cancel on Second

    # If creating multiple servers and CTRL-C on second:
    # - First server completes successfully
    # - Second server shows cancellation message
    # - Operation stops, doesn't proceed to third

## Maintenance Notes

### Adding New Sudo Commands

When adding new sudo commands to the codebase:

1. Wrap with `do --ignore-errors` + `complete`
2. Check for exit code 1 + “password is required”
3. Return `false` on cancellation
4. Let caller handle the `false` return value

Example template:

    let result = (do --ignore-errors { ^sudo new-command } | complete)
    if $result.exit_code == 1 and ($result.stderr | str contains "password is required") {
      print "\n⚠ Operation cancelled - sudo password required"
      return false
    }

### Common Pitfalls

1. Don’t use `exit`: It kills the entire process
2. Don’t use mutable variables in closures: Use `reduce` instead
3. Don’t ignore return values: Always check and propagate
4. Don’t forget the pre-check warning: Users should know sudo is needed

## Future Improvements

1. Sudo Credential Manager: Optionally use a credential manager (keychain, etc.)
2. Sudo-less Mode: Alternative implementation that doesn’t require root
3. Timeout Handling: Detect when sudo times out waiting for password
4. Multiple Password Attempts: Distinguish between CTRL-C and wrong password

### Data Flow

1. User Command → CLI Dispatcher
2. Dispatcher → Load cached metadata (or parse Nickel)
3. Validate → Check auth, operation type, permissions
4. Execute → Call appropriate handler
5. Return → Result to user

### Metadata Caching

- Location: `~/.cache/provisioning/command_metadata.json`
- Format: Serialized JSON (pre-parsed for speed)
- TTL: 1 hour (configurable via `PROVISIONING_METADATA_TTL`)
- Invalidation: Automatic on `main.ncl` modification
- Performance: 40-100x faster than Nickel parsing

    nu tests/test-fase5-e2e.nu
    nu tests/test-security-audit-day20.nu
    nu tests/test-metadata-cache-benchmark.nu

## Usage Guide

### Basic Commands

    # Initialize authentication
    provisioning login

    # Enroll in MFA
    provisioning mfa totp enroll

    # Create infrastructure
    provisioning server create --name web-01 --plan 1xCPU-2 GB

    # Deploy with orchestrator
    provisioning workflow submit workflows/deployment.ncl --orchestrated

    # Batch operations
    provisioning batch submit workflows/batch-deploy.ncl

    # Check without executing
    provisioning server create --name test --check

### Authentication Flow

    # 1. Login (required for production operations)
    $ provisioning login
    Username: alice@example.com
    Password: ****

    # 2. Optional: Setup MFA
    $ provisioning mfa totp enroll
    Scan QR code with authenticator app
    Verify code: 123456

    # 3. Use commands (auth checks happen automatically)
    $ provisioning server delete --name old-server --infra production
    Auth check: Check auth for production (delete operation)
    Are you sure? [yes/no] yes
    ✓ Server deleted

    # 4. All destructive operations require auth
    $ provisioning taskserv delete postgres web-01
    Auth check: Check auth for destructive operation
    ✓ Taskserv deleted

### Check Mode (Bypass Auth for Testing)

    # Dry-run without auth checks
    provisioning server create --name test --check

    # Output: Shows what would happen, no auth checks
    Dry-run mode - no changes will be made
    ✓ Would create server: test
    ✓ Would deploy taskservs: []

### Non-Interactive CI/CD Mode

    # Automated mode - skip confirmations
    provisioning server create --name web-01 --yes

    # Batch operations
    provisioning batch submit workflows/batch.ncl --yes --check

    # With environment variable
    PROVISIONING_NON_INTERACTIVE=1 provisioning server create --name web-02 --yes

## Migration Path

### Phase 1: From Old `input` to Metadata

Old Pattern (Before Fase 5):

    # Hardcoded auth check
    let response = (input "Delete server? (yes/no): ")
    if $response != "yes" { exit 1 }

    # No metadata - auth unknown
    export def delete-server [name: string, --yes] {
        if not $yes { ... manual confirmation ... }
        # ... deletion logic ...
    }

New Pattern (After Fase 5):

    # Metadata header
    # [command]
    # name = "server delete"
    # group = "infrastructure"
    # tags = ["server", "delete", "destructive"]
    # version = "1.0.0"

    # Automatic auth check from metadata
    export def delete-server [name: string, --yes] {
        # Pre-execution check happens in dispatcher
        # Auth enforcement via metadata
        # Operation type: "delete" automatically detected
        # ... deletion logic ...
    }

### Phase 2: Adding Metadata Headers

For each script that was migrated:

1. Add metadata header after shebang:

    #!/usr/bin/env nu
    # [command]
    # name = "server create"
    # group = "infrastructure"
    # tags = ["server", "create", "interactive"]
    # version = "1.0.0"

    export def create-server [name: string] {
        # Logic here
    }

1. Register in `provisioning/schemas/main.ncl`:

    let server_create = {
        name = "server create",
        domain = "infrastructure",
        description = "Create a new server",
        requirements = {
            interactive = false,
            requires_auth = true,
            auth_type = "jwt",
            side_effect_type = "create",
            min_permission = "write",
        },
    } in
    server_create

1. Handler integration (happens in dispatcher):

    # Dispatcher automatically:
    # 1. Loads metadata for "server create"
    # 2. Validates auth based on requirements
    # 3. Checks permission levels
    # 4. Calls handler if validation passes

### Phase 3: Validating Migration

    # Validate metadata headers
    nu utils/validate-metadata-headers.nu

    # Find scripts by tag
    nu utils/search-scripts.nu by-tag destructive

    # Find all scripts in group
    nu utils/search-scripts.nu by-group infrastructure

    # Find scripts with multiple tags
    nu utils/search-scripts.nu by-tags server delete

    # List all migrated scripts
    nu utils/search-scripts.nu list

## Developer Guide

### Adding New Commands with Metadata

Step 1: Create metadata in main.ncl

    let new_feature_command = {
        name = "feature command",
        domain = "infrastructure",
        description = "My new feature",
        requirements = {
            interactive = false,
            requires_auth = true,
            auth_type = "jwt",
            side_effect_type = "create",
            min_permission = "write",
        },
    } in
    new_feature_command

Step 2: Add metadata header to script

    #!/usr/bin/env nu
    # [command]
    # name = "feature command"
    # group = "infrastructure"
    # tags = ["feature", "create"]
    # version = "1.0.0"

    export def feature-command [param: string] {
        # Implementation
    }

Step 3: Implement handler function

    # Handler registered in dispatcher
    export def handle-feature-command [
        action: string
        --flags
    ]: nothing -> nothing {
        # Dispatcher handles:
        # 1. Metadata validation
        # 2. Auth checks
        # 3. Permission validation

        # Your logic here
    }

Step 4: Test with check mode

    # Dry-run without auth
    provisioning feature command --check

    # Full execution
    provisioning feature command --yes

### Metadata Field Reference

Field | Type | Required | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
name | string | Yes | Command canonical name
domain | string | Yes | Command category (infrastructure, orchestration, etc.)
description | string | Yes | Human-readable description
requires_auth | bool | Yes | Whether auth is required
auth_type | enum | Yes | “none”, “jwt”, “mfa”, “cedar”
side_effect_type | enum | Yes | “none”, “create”, “update”, “delete”, “deploy”
min_permission | enum | Yes | “read”, “write”, “admin”, “superadmin”
interactive | bool | No | Whether command requires user input
slow_operation | bool | No | Whether operation takes >60 seconds

### Standard Tags

Groups:

- infrastructure - Server, taskserv, cluster operations
- orchestration - Workflow, batch operations
- workspace - Workspace management
- authentication - Auth, MFA, tokens
- utilities - Helper commands

Operations:

- create, read, update, delete - CRUD operations
- destructive - Irreversible operations
- interactive - Requires user input

Performance:

- slow - Operation >60 seconds
- optimizable - Candidate for optimization

### Performance Optimization Patterns

Pattern 1: For Long Operations

    # Use orchestrator for operations >2 seconds
    if (get-operation-duration "my-operation") > 2000 {
        submit-to-orchestrator $operation
        return "Operation submitted in background"
    }

Pattern 2: For Batch Operations

    # Use batch workflows for multiple operations
    nu -c "
    use core/nulib/workflows/batch.nu *
    batch submit workflows/batch-deploy.ncl --parallel-limit 5
    "

Pattern 3: For Metadata Overhead

    # Cache hit rate optimization
    # Current: 40-100x faster with warm cache
    # Target: >95% cache hit rate
    # Achieved: Metadata stays in cache for 1 hour (TTL)

## Testing

### Running Tests

    # End-to-End Integration Tests
    nu tests/test-fase5-e2e.nu

    # Security Audit
    nu tests/test-security-audit-day20.nu

    # Performance Benchmarks
    nu tests/test-metadata-cache-benchmark.nu

    # Run all tests
    for test in tests/test-*.nu { nu $test }

### Test Coverage

Test Suite | Category | Coverage
--- | --- | ---
E2E Tests | Integration | 7 test groups, 40+ checks
Security Audit | Auth | 5 audit categories, 100% pass
Benchmarks | Performance | 6 benchmark categories

### Expected Results

✅ All tests pass ✅ No Nushell syntax violations ✅ Cache hit rate >95% ✅ Auth enforcement 100% ✅ Performance baselines met

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Command not found

Solution: Ensure metadata is registered in `main.ncl`

    # Check if command is in metadata
    grep "command_name" provisioning/schemas/main.ncl

### Issue: Auth check failing

Solution: Verify user has required permission level

    # Check current user permissions
    provisioning auth whoami

    # Check command requirements
    nu -c "
    use core/nulib/lib_provisioning/commands/traits.nu *
    get-command-metadata 'server create'
    "

### Issue: Slow command execution

Solution: Check cache status

    # Force cache reload
    rm ~/.cache/provisioning/command_metadata.json

    # Check cache hit rate
    nu tests/test-metadata-cache-benchmark.nu

### Issue: Nushell syntax error

Solution: Run compliance check

    # Validate Nushell compliance
    nu --ide-check 100 <file.nu>

    # Check for common issues
    grep "try {" <file.nu>  # Should be empty
    grep "let mut" <file.nu>  # Should be empty

## Performance Characteristics

### Baseline Metrics

Operation | Cold | Warm | Improvement
--- | --- | --- | ---
Metadata Load | 200 ms | 2-5 ms | 40-100x
Auth Check | <5 ms | <5 ms | Same
Command Dispatch | <10 ms | <10 ms | Same
Total Command | ~210 ms | ~10 ms | 21x

### Real-World Impact

    Scenario: 20 sequential commands
      Without cache: 20 × 200 ms = 4 seconds
      With cache:    1 × 200 ms + 19 × 5 ms = 295 ms
      Speedup:       ~13.5x faster

## Next Steps

1. Deploy: Use installer to deploy to production
2. Monitor: Watch cache hit rates (target >95%)
3. Extend: Add new commands following migration pattern
4. Optimize: Use profiling to identify slow operations
5. Maintain: Run validation scripts regularly

# KMS Simplification Migration Guide

Version: 0.2.0 Date: 2025-10-08 Status: Active

## Overview

The KMS service has been simplified from supporting 4 backends (Vault, AWS KMS, Age, Cosmian) to supporting only 2 backends:

- Age: Development and local testing
- Cosmian KMS: Production deployments

This simplification reduces complexity, removes unnecessary cloud provider dependencies, and provides a clearer separation between development and production use cases.

## What Changed

### Removed

- ❌ HashiCorp Vault backend (`src/vault/`)
- ❌ AWS KMS backend (`src/aws/`)
- ❌ AWS SDK dependencies (`aws-sdk-kms`, `aws-config`, `aws-credential-types`)
- ❌ Envelope encryption helpers (AWS-specific)
- ❌ Complex multi-backend configuration

### Added

- ✅ Age backend for development (`src/age/`)
- ✅ Cosmian KMS backend for production (`src/cosmian/`)
- ✅ Simplified configuration (`provisioning/config/kms.toml`)
- ✅ Clear dev/prod separation
- ✅ Better error messages

### Modified

- 🔄 `KmsBackendConfig` enum (now only Age and Cosmian)
- 🔄 `KmsError` enum (removed Vault/AWS-specific errors)
- 🔄 Service initialization logic
- 🔄 README and documentation
- 🔄 Cargo.toml dependencies

## Why This Change

### Problems with Previous Approach

1. Unnecessary Complexity: 4 backends for simple use cases
2. Cloud Lock-in: AWS KMS dependency limited flexibility
3. Operational Overhead: Vault requires server setup even for dev
4. Dependency Bloat: AWS SDK adds significant compile time
5. Unclear Use Cases: When to use which backend?

### Benefits of Simplified Approach

1. Clear Separation: Age = dev, Cosmian = prod
2. Faster Compilation: Removed AWS SDK (saves ~30 s)
3. Offline Development: Age works without network
4. Enterprise Security: Cosmian provides confidential computing
5. Easier Maintenance: 2 backends instead of 4

## Migration Steps

### For Development Environments

If you were using Vault or AWS KMS for development:

#### Step 1: Install Age

    # macOS
    brew install age

    # Ubuntu/Debian
    apt install age

    # From source
    go install filippo.io/age/cmd/...@latest

#### Step 2: Generate Age Keys

    mkdir -p ~/.config/provisioning/age
    age-keygen -o ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt
    age-keygen -y ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt > ~/.config/provisioning/age/public_key.txt

#### Step 3: Update Configuration

Replace your old Vault/AWS config:

Old (Vault):

    [kms]
    type = "vault"
    address = "http://localhost:8200"
    token = "${VAULT_TOKEN}"
    mount_point = "transit"

New (Age):

    [kms]
    environment = "dev"

    [kms.age]
    public_key_path = "~/.config/provisioning/age/public_key.txt"
    private_key_path = "~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt"

#### Step 4: Re-encrypt Development Secrets

    # Export old secrets (if using Vault)
    vault kv get -format=json secret/dev > dev-secrets.json

    # Encrypt with Age
    cat dev-secrets.json | age -r $(cat ~/.config/provisioning/age/public_key.txt) > dev-secrets.age

    # Test decryption
    age -d -i ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt dev-secrets.age

### For Production Environments

If you were using Vault or AWS KMS for production:

#### Step 1: Set Up Cosmian KMS

Choose one of these options:

Option A: Cosmian Cloud (Managed)

    # Sign up at https://cosmian.com
    # Get API credentials
    export COSMIAN_KMS_URL=https://kms.cosmian.cloud
    export COSMIAN_API_KEY=your-api-key

Option B: Self-Hosted Cosmian KMS

    # Deploy Cosmian KMS server
    # See: https://docs.cosmian.com/kms/deployment/

    # Configure endpoint
    export COSMIAN_KMS_URL=https://kms.example.com
    export COSMIAN_API_KEY=your-api-key

#### Step 2: Create Master Key in Cosmian

    # Using Cosmian CLI
    cosmian-kms create-key \
      --algorithm AES \
      --key-length 256 \
      --key-id provisioning-master-key

    # Or via API
    curl -X POST $COSMIAN_KMS_URL/api/v1/keys \
      -H "X-API-Key: $COSMIAN_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "algorithm": "AES",
        "keyLength": 256,
        "keyId": "provisioning-master-key"
      }'

#### Step 3: Migrate Production Secrets

From Vault to Cosmian:

    # Export secrets from Vault
    vault kv get -format=json secret/prod > prod-secrets.json

    # Import to Cosmian
    # (Use temporary Age encryption for transfer)
    cat prod-secrets.json | \
      age -r $(cat ~/.config/provisioning/age/public_key.txt) | \
      base64 > prod-secrets.enc

    # On production server with Cosmian
    cat prod-secrets.enc | \
      base64 -d | \
      age -d -i ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt | \
      # Re-encrypt with Cosmian
      curl -X POST $COSMIAN_KMS_URL/api/v1/encrypt \
        -H "X-API-Key: $COSMIAN_API_KEY" \
        -d @-

From AWS KMS to Cosmian:

    # Decrypt with AWS KMS
    aws kms decrypt \
      --ciphertext-blob fileb://encrypted-data \
      --output text \
      --query Plaintext | \
      base64 -d > plaintext-data

    # Encrypt with Cosmian
    curl -X POST $COSMIAN_KMS_URL/api/v1/encrypt \
      -H "X-API-Key: $COSMIAN_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d "{\"keyId\":\"provisioning-master-key\",\"data\":\"$(base64 plaintext-data)\"}"

#### Step 4: Update Production Configuration

Old (AWS KMS):

    [kms]
    type = "aws-kms"
    region = "us-east-1"
    key_id = "arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/..."

New (Cosmian):

    [kms]
    environment = "prod"

    [kms.cosmian]
    server_url = "${COSMIAN_KMS_URL}"
    api_key = "${COSMIAN_API_KEY}"
    default_key_id = "provisioning-master-key"
    tls_verify = true
    use_confidential_computing = false  # Enable if using SGX/SEV

#### Step 5: Test Production Setup

    # Set environment
    export PROVISIONING_ENV=prod
    export COSMIAN_KMS_URL=https://kms.example.com
    export COSMIAN_API_KEY=your-api-key

    # Start KMS service
    cargo run --bin kms-service

    # Test encryption
    curl -X POST http://localhost:8082/api/v1/kms/encrypt \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"plaintext":"SGVsbG8=","context":"env=prod"}'

    # Test decryption
    curl -X POST http://localhost:8082/api/v1/kms/decrypt \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"ciphertext":"...","context":"env=prod"}'

## Configuration Comparison

### Before (4 Backends)

    # Development could use any backend
    [kms]
    type = "vault"  # or "aws-kms"
    address = "http://localhost:8200"
    token = "${VAULT_TOKEN}"

    # Production used Vault or AWS
    [kms]
    type = "aws-kms"
    region = "us-east-1"
    key_id = "arn:aws:kms:..."

### After (2 Backends)

    # Clear environment-based selection
    [kms]
    dev_backend = "age"
    prod_backend = "cosmian"
    environment = "${PROVISIONING_ENV:-dev}"

    # Age for development
    [kms.age]
    public_key_path = "~/.config/provisioning/age/public_key.txt"
    private_key_path = "~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt"

    # Cosmian for production
    [kms.cosmian]
    server_url = "${COSMIAN_KMS_URL}"
    api_key = "${COSMIAN_API_KEY}"
    default_key_id = "provisioning-master-key"
    tls_verify = true

## Breaking Changes

### API Changes

#### Removed Functions

- `generate_data_key()` - Now only available with Cosmian backend
- `envelope_encrypt()` - AWS-specific, removed
- `envelope_decrypt()` - AWS-specific, removed
- `rotate_key()` - Now handled server-side by Cosmian

#### Changed Error Types

Before:

    KmsError::VaultError(String)
    KmsError::AwsKmsError(String)

After:

    KmsError::AgeError(String)
    KmsError::CosmianError(String)

#### Updated Configuration Enum

Before:

    enum KmsBackendConfig {
        Vault { address, token, mount_point, ... },
        AwsKms { region, key_id, assume_role },
    }

After:

    enum KmsBackendConfig {
        Age { public_key_path, private_key_path },
        Cosmian { server_url, api_key, default_key_id, tls_verify },
    }

## Code Migration

### Rust Code

Before (AWS KMS):

    use kms_service::{KmsService, KmsBackendConfig};

    let config = KmsBackendConfig::AwsKms {
        region: "us-east-1".to_string(),
        key_id: "arn:aws:kms:...".to_string(),
        assume_role: None,
    };

    let kms = KmsService::new(config).await?;

After (Cosmian):

    use kms_service::{KmsService, KmsBackendConfig};

    let config = KmsBackendConfig::Cosmian {
        server_url: env::var("COSMIAN_KMS_URL")?,
        api_key: env::var("COSMIAN_API_KEY")?,
        default_key_id: "provisioning-master-key".to_string(),
        tls_verify: true,
    };

    let kms = KmsService::new(config).await?;

### Nushell Code

Before (Vault):

    # Set Vault environment
    $env.VAULT_ADDR = "http://localhost:8200"
    $env.VAULT_TOKEN = "root"

    # Use KMS
    kms encrypt "secret-data"

After (Age for dev):

    # Set environment
    $env.PROVISIONING_ENV = "dev"

    # Age keys automatically loaded from config
    kms encrypt "secret-data"

## Rollback Plan

If you need to rollback to Vault/AWS KMS:

    # Checkout previous version
    git checkout tags/v0.1.0

    # Rebuild with old dependencies
    cd provisioning/platform/kms-service
    cargo clean
    cargo build --release

    # Restore old configuration
    cp provisioning/config/kms.toml.backup provisioning/config/kms.toml

## Testing the Migration

### Development Testing

    # 1. Generate Age keys
    age-keygen -o /tmp/test_private.txt
    age-keygen -y /tmp/test_private.txt > /tmp/test_public.txt

    # 2. Test encryption
    echo "test-data" | age -r $(cat /tmp/test_public.txt) > /tmp/encrypted

    # 3. Test decryption
    age -d -i /tmp/test_private.txt /tmp/encrypted

    # 4. Start KMS service with test keys
    export PROVISIONING_ENV=dev
    # Update config to point to /tmp keys
    cargo run --bin kms-service

### Production Testing

    # 1. Set up test Cosmian instance
    export COSMIAN_KMS_URL=https://kms-staging.example.com
    export COSMIAN_API_KEY=test-api-key

    # 2. Create test key
    cosmian-kms create-key --key-id test-key --algorithm AES --key-length 256

    # 3. Test encryption
    curl -X POST $COSMIAN_KMS_URL/api/v1/encrypt \
      -H "X-API-Key: $COSMIAN_API_KEY" \
      -d '{"keyId":"test-key","data":"dGVzdA=="}'

    # 4. Start KMS service
    export PROVISIONING_ENV=prod
    cargo run --bin kms-service

## Troubleshooting

### Age Keys Not Found

    # Check keys exist
    ls -la ~/.config/provisioning/age/

    # Regenerate if missing
    age-keygen -o ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt
    age-keygen -y ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt > ~/.config/provisioning/age/public_key.txt

### Cosmian Connection Failed

    # Check network connectivity
    curl -v $COSMIAN_KMS_URL/api/v1/health

    # Verify API key
    curl $COSMIAN_KMS_URL/api/v1/version \
      -H "X-API-Key: $COSMIAN_API_KEY"

    # Check TLS certificate
    openssl s_client -connect kms.example.com:443

### Compilation Errors

    # Clean and rebuild
    cd provisioning/platform/kms-service
    cargo clean
    cargo update
    cargo build --release

Services Covered: 8 platform services (orchestrator, control-center, mcp-server, vault-service, extension-registry, rag, ai-service, provisioning-daemon)

Interactive configuration for cloud-native infrastructure platform services using TypeDialog forms and Nickel.

## Overview

TypeDialog is an interactive form system that generates Nickel configurations for platform services. Instead of manually editing TOML or KCL files, you answer questions in an interactive form, and TypeDialog generates validated Nickel configuration.

Benefits:

- ✅ No manual TOML editing required
- ✅ Interactive guidance for each setting
- ✅ Automatic validation of inputs
- ✅ Type-safe configuration (Nickel contracts)
- ✅ Generated configurations ready for deployment

## Quick Start

### 1. Configure a Platform Service (5 minutes)

    # Launch interactive form for orchestrator
    provisioning config platform orchestrator

    # Or use TypeDialog directly
    typedialog form .typedialog/provisioning/platform/orchestrator/form.toml

This opens an interactive form with sections for:

- Workspace configuration
- Server settings (host, port, workers)

- Extensions and integrations
- Advanced settings

### 2. Review Generated Configuration

After completing the form, TypeDialog generates `config.ncl`:

    # View what was generated
    cat workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl

### 3. Validate Configuration

    # Check Nickel syntax is valid
    nickel typecheck workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl

    # Export to TOML for services
    provisioning config export

### 4. Services Use Generated Config

Platform services automatically load the exported TOML:

    # Orchestrator reads config/generated/platform/orchestrator.toml
    provisioning start orchestrator

    # Check it's using the right config
    cat workspace_librecloud/config/generated/platform/orchestrator.toml

## Interactive Configuration Workflow

### Recommended Approach: Use TypeDialog Forms

Best for: Most users, no Nickel knowledge needed

Workflow:

1. Launch form for a service: `provisioning config platform orchestrator`
2. Answer questions in interactive prompts about workspace, server, storage, queue
3. Review what was generated: `cat workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl`
4. Update running services: `provisioning config export && provisioning restart orchestrator`

### Advanced Approach: Manual Nickel Editing

Best for: Users comfortable with Nickel, want full control

Workflow:

1. Create file: `touch workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl`
2. Edit directly: `vim workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl`
3. Validate syntax: `nickel typecheck workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl`
4. Export and deploy: `provisioning config export && provisioning restart orchestrator`

## Configuration Structure

### Single File, Three Sections

All configuration lives in one Nickel file with three sections:

    # workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl
    {
      # SECTION 1: Workspace metadata
      workspace = {
        name = "librecloud",
        path = "/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/workspace_librecloud",
        description = "Production workspace"
      },

      # SECTION 2: Cloud providers
      providers = {
        upcloud = {
          enabled = true,
          api_user = "{{env.UPCLOUD_USER}}",
          api_password = "{{kms.decrypt('upcloud_pass')}}"
        },
        aws = { enabled = false },
        local = { enabled = true }
      },

      # SECTION 3: Platform services
      platform = {
        orchestrator = {
          enabled = true,
          server = { host = "127.0.0.1", port = 9090 },
          storage = { type = "filesystem" }
        },
        kms = {
          enabled = true,
          backend = "rustyvault",
          url = "http://localhost:8200"
        }

## Validation & Export

### Validating Configuration

    # Check Nickel syntax
    nickel typecheck workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl

    # Detailed validation with error messages
    nickel typecheck workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl 2>&1

    # Schema validation happens during export
    provisioning config export

### Exporting to Service Formats

    # One-time export
    provisioning config export

Using Pre-Generated Configurations:

All 5 new services come with pre-built TOML configs for each deployment mode:

    # View available schemas for vault service
    ls -la provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/vault-service.ncl
    ls -la provisioning/schemas/platform/defaults/vault-service-defaults.ncl

    # Load enterprise mode
    export VAULT_MODE=enterprise
    cargo run -p vault-service

    # Or load multiuser mode
    export REGISTRY_MODE=multiuser
    cargo run -p extension-registry

    # All 5 services support mode-based loading
    export RAG_MODE=cicd
    export AI_SERVICE_MODE=enterprise
    export DAEMON_MODE=multiuser

## Updating Configuration

### Change a Setting

1. Edit source config: `vim workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl`
2. Validate changes: `nickel typecheck workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl`
3. Re-export to TOML: `provisioning config export`
4. Restart affected service (if needed): `provisioning restart orchestrator`

### Using TypeDialog to Update

If you prefer interactive updating:

    # Re-run TypeDialog form (overwrites config.ncl)
    provisioning config platform orchestrator

    # Or edit via TypeDialog with existing values
    typedialog form .typedialog/provisioning/platform/orchestrator/form.toml

## Troubleshooting

### Form Won’t Load

Problem: `Failed to parse config file`

Solution: Check form.toml syntax and verify required fields are present (name, description, locales_path, templates_path)

    head -10 .typedialog/provisioning/platform/orchestrator/form.toml

### Validation Fails

Problem: `Nickel configuration validation failed`

Solution: Check for syntax errors and correct field names

    nickel typecheck workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl 2>&1 | less

Common issues: Missing closing braces, incorrect field names, wrong data types

### Export Creates Empty Files

Problem: Generated TOML files are empty

Solution: Verify config.ncl exports to JSON and check all required sections exist

    nickel export --format json workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl | head -20

### Services Don’t Use New Config

Problem: Changes don’t take effect

Solution:

1. Verify export succeeded: `ls -lah workspace_librecloud/config/generated/platform/`
2. Check service path: `provisioning start orchestrator --check`
3. Restart service: `provisioning restart orchestrator`

          enabled = true,
          backend = "rustyvault"
        }
      }
    }

## Best Practices

### 1. Use TypeDialog for Initial Setup

Start with TypeDialog forms for the best experience:

    provisioning config platform orchestrator

### 2. Never Edit Generated Files

Only edit the source `.ncl` file, not the generated TOML files.

Correct: `vim workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl`

Wrong: `vim workspace_librecloud/config/generated/platform/orchestrator.toml`

### 3. Validate Before Deploy

Always validate before deploying changes:

    nickel typecheck workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl
    provisioning config export

### 4. Use Environment Variables for Secrets

Never hardcode credentials in config. Reference environment variables or KMS:

Wrong: `api_password = "my-password"`

Correct: `api_password = "{{env.UPCLOUD_PASSWORD}}"`

Better: `api_password = "{{kms.decrypt('upcloud_key')}}"`

### 5. Document Changes

Add comments explaining custom settings in the Nickel file.

## Overview

Provisioning supports three types of extensions that enable customization and expansion of functionality:

- Providers: Cloud provider implementations for resource management
- Task Services: Infrastructure service components (databases, monitoring, etc.)
- Clusters: Complete deployment solutions combining multiple services

Key Features:

- Template-Based Development: Comprehensive templates for all extension types
- Workspace Integration: Extensions developed in isolated workspace environments
- Configuration-Driven: KCL schemas for type-safe configuration
- Version Management: GitHub integration for version tracking
- Testing Framework: Comprehensive testing and validation tools
- Hot Reloading: Development-time hot reloading support

Location: `workspace/extensions/`

### Extension Discovery

Discovery Order:

1. `workspace/extensions/{type}/{user}/{name}` - User-specific extensions
2. `workspace/extensions/{type}/{name}` - Workspace shared extensions
3. `workspace/extensions/{type}/template` - Templates
4. Core system paths (fallback)

Path Resolution:

    # Automatic extension discovery
    use workspace/lib/path-resolver.nu

    # Find provider extension
    let provider_path = (path-resolver resolve_extension "providers" "my-aws-provider")

    # List all available task services
    let taskservs = (path-resolver list_extensions "taskservs" --include-core)

    # Resolve cluster definition
    let cluster_path = (path-resolver resolve_extension "clusters" "web-stack")

## Provider Development

### Provider Architecture

Providers implement cloud resource management through a standardized interface that supports multiple cloud platforms while maintaining consistent APIs.

Core Responsibilities:

- Authentication: Secure API authentication and credential management
- Resource Management: Server creation, deletion, and lifecycle management
- Configuration: Provider-specific settings and validation
- Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling and recovery
- Rate Limiting: API rate limiting and retry logic

### Creating a New Provider

1. Initialize from Template:

    # Copy provider template
    cp -r workspace/extensions/providers/template workspace/extensions/providers/my-cloud

    # Navigate to new provider
    cd workspace/extensions/providers/my-cloud

2. Update Configuration:

    # Initialize provider metadata
    nu init-provider.nu \
        --name "my-cloud" \
        --display-name "MyCloud Provider" \
        --author "$USER" \
        --description "MyCloud platform integration"

## Task Service Development

### Task Service Architecture

Task services are infrastructure components that can be deployed and managed across different environments. They provide standardized interfaces for installation, configuration, and lifecycle management.

Core Responsibilities:

- Installation: Service deployment and setup
- Configuration: Dynamic configuration management
- Health Checking: Service status monitoring
- Version Management: Automatic version updates from GitHub
- Integration: Integration with other services and clusters

### Creating a New Task Service

1. Initialize from Template:

    # Copy task service template
    cp -r workspace/extensions/taskservs/template workspace/extensions/taskservs/my-service

    # Navigate to new service
    cd workspace/extensions/taskservs/my-service

2. Initialize Service:

    # Initialize service metadata
    nu init-service.nu \
        --name "my-service" \
        --display-name "My Custom Service" \
        --type "database" \
        --github-repo "myorg/my-service"

## Cluster Development

### Cluster Architecture

Clusters represent complete deployment solutions that combine multiple task services, providers, and configurations to create functional environments.

Core Responsibilities:

- Service Orchestration: Coordinate multiple task service deployments
- Dependency Management: Handle service dependencies and startup order
- Configuration Management: Manage cross-service configuration
- Health Monitoring: Monitor overall cluster health
- Scaling: Handle cluster scaling operations

### Creating a New Cluster

1. Initialize from Template:

    # Copy cluster template
    cp -r workspace/extensions/clusters/template workspace/extensions/clusters/my-stack

    # Navigate to new cluster
    cd workspace/extensions/clusters/my-stack

2. Initialize Cluster:

    # Initialize cluster metadata
    nu init-cluster.nu \
        --name "my-stack" \
        --display-name "My Application Stack" \

## Best Practices

### Code Quality

Function Design:

    # Good: Single responsibility, clear parameters, comprehensive error handling
    export def "provider create-server" [
        name: string                   # Server name (must be unique in region)
        plan: string                   # Server plan (see list-plans for options)
        --zone: string = "auto"        # Deployment zone (auto-selects optimal zone)
        --dry-run: bool = false        # Preview changes without creating resources
    ] -> record {                      # Returns creation result with server details
        # Validate inputs first
        if ($name | str length) == 0 {
            error make {
                msg: "Server name cannot be empty"
                help: "Provide a unique name for the server"
            }
        }

        # Implementation with comprehensive error handling
        # ...
    }

    # Bad: Unclear parameters, no error handling
    def create [n, p] {
        # Missing validation and error handling
        api_call $n $p
    }

Configuration Management:

    # Good: Configuration-driven with validation
    def get_api_endpoint [provider: string] -> string {
        let config = get-config-value $"providers.($provider).api_url"

        if ($config | is-empty) {
            error make {
                msg: $"API URL not configured for provider ($provider)",
                help: $"Add 'api_url' to providers.($provider) configuration"
            }
        }

        $config
    }

    # Bad: Hardcoded values
    def get_api_endpoint [] {
        "https://api.provider.com"  # Never hardcode!
    }

### Error Handling

Comprehensive Error Context:

    def create_server_with_context [name: string, config: record] -> record {
        try {
            # Validate configuration
            validate_server_config $config
        } catch { |e|
            error make {
                msg: $"Invalid server configuration: ($e.msg)",
                label: {text: "configuration error", span: $e.span?},
                help: "Check configuration syntax and required fields"
            }
        }

        try {
            # Create server via API
            let result = api_create_server $name $config
            return $result
        } catch { |e|
            match $e.msg {
                $msg if ($msg | str contains "quota") => {
                    error make {
                        msg: $"Server creation failed: quota limit exceeded",
                        help: "Contact support to increase quota or delete unused servers"
                    }
                },
                $msg if ($msg | str contains "auth") => {
                    error make {
                        msg: "Server creation failed: authentication error",
                        help: "Check API credentials and permissions"
                    }
                },
                _ => {
                    error make {
                        msg: $"Server creation failed: ($e.msg)",
                        help: "Check network connectivity and try again"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

### Testing Practices

Test Organization:

    # Organize tests by functionality
    # tests/unit/server-creation-test.nu

    def test_valid_server_creation [] {
        # Test valid cases with various inputs
        let valid_configs = [
            {name: "test-1", plan: "small"},
            {name: "test-2", plan: "medium"},
            {name: "test-3", plan: "large"}
        ]

        for config in $valid_configs {
            let result = create_server $config.name $config.plan --dry-run
            assert ($result.status == "dry-run")
            assert ($result.config.name == $config.name)
        }
    }

    def test_invalid_inputs [] {
        # Test error conditions
        let invalid_cases = [
            {name: "", plan: "small", error: "empty name"},
            {name: "test", plan: "invalid", error: "invalid plan"},
            {name: "test with spaces", plan: "small", error: "invalid characters"}
        ]

        for case in $invalid_cases {
            try {
                create_server $case.name $case.plan --dry-run
                assert false $"Should have failed: ($case.error)"
            } catch { |e|
                # Verify specific error message
                assert ($e.msg | str contains $case.error)
            }
        }
    }

### Documentation Standards

Function Documentation:

    # Comprehensive function documentation
    def "provider create-server" [
        name: string                   # Server name - must be unique within the provider
        plan: string                   # Server size plan (run 'provider list-plans' for options)
        --zone: string = "auto"        # Target zone - 'auto' selects optimal zone based on load
        --template: string = "ubuntu22" # OS template - see 'provider list-templates' for options
        --storage: int = 25             # Storage size in GB (minimum 10, maximum 2048)
        --dry-run: bool = false        # Preview mode - shows what would be created without creating
    ] -> record {                      # Returns server creation details including ID and IP
        """
        Creates a new server instance with the specified configuration.

        This function provisions a new server using the provider's API, configures
        basic security settings, and returns the server details upon successful creation.

        Examples:
          # Create a small server with default settings
          provider create-server "web-01" "small"

          # Create with specific zone and storage
          provider create-server "db-01" "large" --zone "us-west-2" --storage 100

          # Preview what would be created
          provider create-server "test" "medium" --dry-run

        Error conditions:
          - Invalid server name (empty, invalid characters)
          - Invalid plan (not in supported plans list)
          - Insufficient quota or permissions
          - Network connectivity issues

        Returns:
          Record with keys: server, status, id, ip_address, created_at
        """

        # Implementation...
    }

## Troubleshooting

### Common Development Issues

#### Extension Not Found

Error: `Extension 'my-provider' not found`

    # Solution: Check extension location and structure
    ls -la workspace/extensions/providers/my-provider
    nu workspace/lib/path-resolver.nu resolve_extension "providers" "my-provider"

    # Validate extension structure
    nu workspace.nu tools validate-extension providers/my-provider

#### Configuration Errors

Error: `Invalid Nickel configuration`

    # Solution: Validate Nickel syntax
    nickel check workspace/extensions/providers/my-provider/schemas/

    # Format Nickel files
    nickel fmt workspace/extensions/providers/my-provider/schemas/

    # Test with example data
    nickel eval workspace/extensions/providers/my-provider/schemas/settings.ncl

#### API Integration Issues

Error: `Authentication failed`

    # Solution: Test credentials and connectivity
    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" https://api.provider.com/auth/test

    # Debug API calls

--- | --- | ---
Providers | Cloud platform integrations | Custom cloud, on-premises
Task Services | Software components | Custom databases, monitoring
Clusters | Service orchestration | Application stacks, platforms
Templates | Reusable configurations | Standard deployments

    ├── extension.toml         # Extension metadata
    └── README.md              # Extension documentation

### Extension Metadata

`extension.toml`:

    [extension]
    name = "my-custom-provider"
    version = "1.0.0"
    description = "Custom cloud provider integration"
    author = "Your Name <you@example.com>"
    license = "MIT"

    [compatibility]
    provisioning_version = ">=1.0.0"
    nickel_version = ">=1.15.0"

    [provides]
    providers = ["custom-cloud"]
    taskservs = ["custom-database"]
    clusters = ["custom-stack"]

    [dependencies]
    extensions = []
    system_packages = ["curl", "jq"]

    [configuration]
    required_env = ["CUSTOM_CLOUD_API_KEY"]
    optional_env = ["CUSTOM_CLOUD_REGION"]

## Creating Custom Providers

### Provider Architecture

A provider handles:

- Authentication with cloud APIs
- Resource lifecycle management (create, read, update, delete)
- Provider-specific configurations
- Cost estimation and billing integration

### Step 1: Define Provider Schema

`schemas/providers/custom_cloud.ncl`:

    # Custom cloud provider schema
    {
      CustomCloudConfig = {
        # Configuration for Custom Cloud provider
        # Authentication
        api_key | String,
        api_secret | String = "",
        region | String = "us-west-1",

        # Provider-specific settings
        project_id | String = "",
        organization | String = "",

        # API configuration
        api_url | String = "https://api.custom-cloud.com/v1",
        timeout | Number = 30,

        # Cost configuration
        billing_account | String = "",
        cost_center | String = "",
      },

      CustomCloudServer = {
        # Server configuration for Custom Cloud
        # Instance configuration
        machine_type | String,
        zone | String,
        disk_size | Number = 20,
        disk_type | String = "ssd",

        # Network configuration
        vpc | String = "",
        subnet | String = "",
        external_ip | Bool = true,

        # Custom Cloud specific
        preemptible | Bool = false,
        labels | {String: String} = {},
      },

      # Provider capabilities
      provider_capabilities = {
        name = "custom-cloud",
        supports_auto_scaling = true,
        supports_load_balancing = true,
        supports_managed_databases = true,
        regions = [
          "us-west-1", "us-west-2", "us-east-1", "eu-west-1"
        ],
        machine_types = [
          "micro", "small", "medium", "large", "xlarge"
        ],
      },
    }

### Step 2: Implement Provider Logic

`nulib/providers/custom_cloud.nu`:

    # Custom Cloud provider implementation

    # Provider initialization
    export def custom_cloud_init [] {
        # Validate environment variables
        if ($env.CUSTOM_CLOUD_API_KEY | is-empty) {
            error make {
                msg: "CUSTOM_CLOUD_API_KEY environment variable is required"
            }
        }

        # Set up provider context
        $env.CUSTOM_CLOUD_INITIALIZED = true
    }

    # Create server instance
    export def custom_cloud_create_server [
        server_config: record
        --check: bool = false    # Dry run mode
    ] -> record {
        custom_cloud_init

        print $"Creating server: ($server_config.name)"

        if $check {
            return {
                action: "create"

            auth_methods: ["api_key", "oauth"]
        }
    }

## Creating Custom Task Services

### Task Service Architecture

Task services handle:

- Software installation and configuration
- Service lifecycle management
- Health checking and monitoring
- Version management and updates

### Step 1: Define Service Schema

`schemas/taskservs/custom_database.ncl`:

    # Custom database task service
    {
      CustomDatabaseConfig = {
        # Configuration for Custom Database service
        # Database configuration
        version | String = "14.0",
        port | Number = 5432,
        max_connections | Number = 100,
        memory_limit | String = "512 MB",

        # Data configuration
        data_directory | String = "/var/lib/customdb",
        log_directory | String = "/var/log/customdb",

        # Replication
        replication | {
          enabled | Bool = false,
          mode | String = "async",
          replicas | Number = 1,
        } = {},

        # Backup configuration
        backup | {
          enabled | Bool = true,
          schedule | String = "0 2 * * *",
          retention_days | Number = 7,
          storage_location | String = "local",
        } = {},

        # Security
        ssl | {
          enabled | Bool = true,
          cert_file | String = "/etc/ssl/certs/customdb.crt",
          key_file | String = "/etc/ssl/private/customdb.key",
        } = {},

        # Monitoring
        monitoring | {
          enabled | Bool = true,
          metrics_port | Number = 9187,
          log_level | String = "info",
        } = {},
      },

      # Service metadata
      service_metadata = {
        name = "custom-database",
        description = "Custom Database Server",
        version = "14.0",
        category = "database",
        dependencies = ["systemd"],
        supported_os = ["ubuntu", "debian", "centos", "rhel"],
        ports = [5432, 9187],
        data_directories = ["/var/lib/customdb"],
      },
    }

### Step 2: Implement Service Logic

`nulib/taskservs/custom_database.nu`:

## Creating Custom Clusters

### Cluster Architecture

Clusters orchestrate multiple services to work together as a cohesive application stack.

### Step 1: Define Cluster Schema

`schemas/clusters/custom_web_stack.ncl`:

    # Custom web application stack
    {
      CustomWebStackConfig = {
        # Configuration for Custom Web Application Stack
        # Application configuration
        app_name | String,
        app_version | String = "latest",
        environment | String = "production",

        # Web tier configuration
        web_tier | {
          replicas | Number = 3,
          instance_type | String = "t3.medium",
          load_balancer | {
            enabled | Bool = true,
            ssl | Bool = true,
            health_check_path | String = "/health",
          } = {},
        },

        # Application tier configuration
        app_tier | {
          replicas | Number = 5,
          instance_type | String = "t3.large",
          auto_scaling | {
            enabled | Bool = true,
            min_replicas | Number = 2,
            max_replicas | Number = 10,
            cpu_threshold | Number = 70,
          } = {},
        },

        # Database tier configuration
        database_tier | {
          type | String = "postgresql",
          instance_type | String = "t3.xlarge",
          high_availability | Bool = true,
          backup_enabled | Bool = true,
        } = {},

        # Monitoring configuration
        monitoring | {
          enabled | Bool = true,
          metrics_retention | String = "30d",
          alerting | Bool = true,
        } = {},

        # Networking
        network | {
          vpc_cidr | String = "10.0.0.0/16",
          public_subnets | [String] = ["10.0.1.0/24", "10.0.2.0/24"],
          private_subnets | [String] = ["10.0.10.0/24", "10.0.20.0/24"],
          database_subnets | [String] = ["10.0.100.0/24", "10.0.200.0/24"],
        } = {},
      },

      # Cluster blueprint
      cluster_blueprint = {
        name = "custom-web-stack",
        description = "Custom web application stack with load balancer, app servers, and database",
        version = "1.0.0",
        components = [
          {
            name = "load-balancer",

            tier = "web",
          },
          {

            type = "server",
            tier = "web",
            scaling = "horizontal",
          },
          {
            name = "app-servers",
            type = "server",
            tier = "app",
            scaling = "horizontal",
          },
          {
            name = "database",
            type = "taskserv",
            service = "postgresql",
            tier = "database",
          },
          {
            name = "monitoring",
            type = "taskserv",
            service = "prometheus",
            tier = "monitoring",
          },
        ],
      },
    }

    system_packages = ["curl", "jq"]
    extensions = []

    [build]
    include = ["src/**", "examples/**", "README.md", "LICENSE"]
    exclude = ["tests/**", ".git/**", "*.tmp"]

### Publishing Process

    # 1. Validate extension
    provisioning extension validate .

    # 2. Run tests
    provisioning extension test .

    # 3. Build package
    provisioning extension build .

    # 4. Publish to registry
    provisioning extension publish ./dist/my-custom-provider-1.0.0.tar.gz

## Best Practices

### 1. Code Organization

    # Follow standard structure
    extension/
    ├── schemas/      # Nickel schemas and models
    ├── nulib/        # Nushell implementation
    ├── templates/    # Configuration templates
    ├── tests/        # Comprehensive tests
    └── docs/         # Documentation

### 2. Error Handling

    # Always provide meaningful error messages
    if ($api_response | get -o status | default "" | str contains "error") {
        error make {
            msg: $"API Error: ($api_response.message)"
            label: {
                text: "Custom Cloud API failure"
                span: (metadata $api_response | get span)
            }
            help: "Check your API key and network connectivity"
        }
    }

### 3. Configuration Validation

    # Use Nickel's validation features with contracts
    {
      CustomConfig = {
        # Configuration with validation
        name | String | doc "Name must not be empty",
        size | Number | doc "Size must be positive and at most 1000",
      },

      # Validation rules
      validate_config = fun config =>
        let valid_name = (std.string.length config.name) > 0 in
        let valid_size = config.size > 0 && config.size <= 1000 in
        if valid_name && valid_size then
          config
        else
          (std.fail "Configuration validation failed"),
    }

### 4. Testing

- Write comprehensive unit tests
- Include integration tests
- Test error conditions
- Use fixtures for consistent test data
- Mock external dependencies

### 5. Documentation

- Include README with examples
- Document all configuration options
- Provide troubleshooting guide
- Include architecture diagrams
- Write API documentation

## Next Steps

Now that you understand extension development:

1. Study existing extensions in the `providers/` and `taskservs/` directories
2. Practice with simple extensions before building complex ones
3. Join the community to share and collaborate on extensions
4. Contribute to the core system by improving extension APIs
5. Build a library of reusable templates and patterns

You’re now equipped to extend provisioning for any custom requirements!

# Extension Registry Service

A high-performance Rust microservice that provides a unified REST API for extension discovery, versioning, and download from multiple Git-based sources and OCI registries.

> Source: `provisioning/platform/crates/extension-registry/`

## Features

- Multi-Backend Source Support: Fetch extensions from Gitea, Forgejo, and GitHub releases
- Multi-Registry Distribution Support: Distribute extensions to Zot, Harbor, Docker Hub, GHCR, Quay, and other OCI-compliant registries
- Unified REST API: Single API for all extension operations across all backends
- Smart Caching: LRU cache with TTL to reduce backend API calls
- Prometheus Metrics: Built-in metrics for monitoring
- Health Monitoring: Parallel health checks for all backends with aggregated status
- Aggregation & Fallback: Intelligent request routing with aggregation and fallback strategies
- Type-Safe: Strong typing for extension metadata
- Async/Await: High-performance async operations with Tokio
- Backward Compatible: Old single-instance configs auto-migrate to new multi-instance format

## Architecture

### Dual-Trait System

The extension registry uses a trait-based architecture separating source and distribution backends:

### Request Strategies

#### Aggregation Strategy (list_extensions, list_versions, search)

1. Parallel Execution: Spawn concurrent tasks for all source and distribution clients
2. Merge Results: Combine results from all backends
3. Deduplication: Remove duplicates, preferring more recent versions
4. Pagination: Apply limit/offset to merged results
5. Caching: Store merged results with composite cache key

#### Fallback Strategy (get_extension, download_extension)

1. Sequential Retry: Try source clients first (in configured order)
2. Distribution Fallback: If all sources fail, try distribution clients
3. Return First Success: Return result from first successful client
4. Caching: Cache successful result with backend-specific key

## Installation

    cd provisioning/platform/extension-registry
    cargo build --release

## Configuration

### Single-Instance Configuration (Legacy - Auto-Migrated)

Old format is automatically migrated to new multi-instance format:

    [server]
    host = "0.0.0.0"
    port = 8082

    # Single Gitea instance (auto-migrated to sources.gitea[0])
    [gitea]
    url = "https://gitea.example.com"
    organization = "provisioning-extensions"
    token_path = "/path/to/gitea-token.txt"

    # Single OCI registry (auto-migrated to distributions.oci[0])
    [oci]
    registry = "registry.example.com"
    namespace = "provisioning"
    auth_token_path = "/path/to/oci-token.txt"

    [cache]
    capacity = 1000
    ttl_seconds = 300

### Multi-Instance Configuration (Recommended)

New format supporting multiple backends of each type:

    [server]
    host = "0.0.0.0"
    port = 8082
    workers = 4
    enable_cors = false
    enable_compression = true

    # Multiple Gitea sources
    [sources.gitea]

    [[sources.gitea]]
    id = "internal-gitea"
    url = "https://gitea.internal.example.com"
    organization = "provisioning"
    token_path = "/etc/secrets/gitea-internal-token.txt"
    timeout_seconds = 30
    verify_ssl = true

    [[sources.gitea]]
    id = "public-gitea"
    url = "https://gitea.public.example.com"
    organization = "extensions"
    token_path = "/etc/secrets/gitea-public-token.txt"
    timeout_seconds = 30
    verify_ssl = true

    # Forgejo sources (API compatible with Gitea)
    [sources.forgejo]

    [[sources.forgejo]]
    id = "community-forgejo"
    url = "https://forgejo.community.example.com"
    organization = "provisioning"
    token_path = "/etc/secrets/forgejo-token.txt"
    timeout_seconds = 30
    verify_ssl = true

    # GitHub sources
    [sources.github]

    [[sources.github]]
    id = "org-github"
    organization = "my-organization"
    token_path = "/etc/secrets/github-token.txt"
    timeout_seconds = 30
    verify_ssl = true

    # Multiple OCI distribution registries
    [distributions.oci]

    [[distributions.oci]]
    id = "internal-zot"
    registry = "zot.internal.example.com"
    namespace = "extensions"
    timeout_seconds = 30
    verify_ssl = true

    [[distributions.oci]]
    id = "public-harbor"
    registry = "harbor.public.example.com"
    namespace = "extensions"
    auth_token_path = "/etc/secrets/harbor-token.txt"
    timeout_seconds = 30
    verify_ssl = true

    [[distributions.oci]]
    id = "docker-hub"
    registry = "docker.io"
    namespace = "myorg"
    auth_token_path = "/etc/secrets/docker-hub-token.txt"
    timeout_seconds = 30
    verify_ssl = true

    # Cache configuration
    [cache]
    capacity = 1000
    ttl_seconds = 300
    enable_metadata_cache = true
    enable_list_cache = true

### Configuration Notes

- Backend Identifiers: Use `id` field to uniquely identify each backend instance (auto-generated if omitted)
- Gitea/Forgejo Compatible: Both use same config format; organization field is required for Git repos
- GitHub Configuration: Uses organization as owner; token_path points to GitHub Personal Access Token
- OCI Registries: Support any OCI-compliant registry (Zot, Harbor, Docker Hub, GHCR, Quay, etc.)
- Optional Fields: `id`, `verify_ssl`, `timeout_seconds` have sensible defaults
- Token Files: Should contain only the token with no extra whitespace; permissions should be `0600`

### Environment Variable Overrides

Legacy environment variable support (for backward compatibility):

    REGISTRY_SERVER_HOST=127.0.0.1
    REGISTRY_SERVER_PORT=8083
    REGISTRY_SERVER_WORKERS=8
    REGISTRY_GITEA_URL=https://gitea.example.com
    REGISTRY_GITEA_ORG=extensions
    REGISTRY_GITEA_TOKEN_PATH=/path/to/token
    REGISTRY_OCI_REGISTRY=registry.example.com
    REGISTRY_OCI_NAMESPACE=extensions
    REGISTRY_CACHE_CAPACITY=2000
    REGISTRY_CACHE_TTL=600

      "size": 4096
    }

## Extension Naming Conventions

### Gitea Repositories

- Providers: `{name}_prov` (for example, `aws_prov`)
- Task Services: `{name}_taskserv` (for example, `kubernetes_taskserv`)
- Clusters: `{name}_cluster` (for example, `buildkit_cluster`)

### OCI Artifacts

- Providers: `{namespace}/{name}-provider`
- Task Services: `{namespace}/{name}-taskserv`
- Clusters: `{namespace}/{name}-cluster`

## Deployment

### Docker

    docker build -t extension-registry:latest .
    docker run -d -p 8082:8082 -v $(pwd)/config.toml:/app/config.toml:ro extension-registry:latest

### Kubernetes

    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: extension-registry
    spec:
      replicas: 3
      template:
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: extension-registry
            image: extension-registry:latest
            ports:
            - containerPort: 8082

## Migration Guide: Single to Multi-Instance

### Automatic Migration

Old single-instance configs are automatically detected and migrated to the new multi-instance format during startup:

1. Detection: Registry checks if old-style fields (`gitea`, `oci`) contain values
2. Migration: Single instances are moved to new Vec-based format (`sources.gitea[0]`, `distributions.oci[0]`)
3. Logging: Migration event is logged for audit purposes
4. Transparency: No user action required; old configs continue to work

### Before Migration

    [gitea]
    url = "https://gitea.example.com"
    organization = "extensions"
    token_path = "/path/to/token"

    [oci]
    registry = "registry.example.com"
    namespace = "extensions"

### After Migration (Automatic)

    [sources.gitea]
    [[sources.gitea]]
    url = "https://gitea.example.com"
    organization = "extensions"
    token_path = "/path/to/token"

    [distributions.oci]
    [[distributions.oci]]
    registry = "registry.example.com"
    namespace = "extensions"

### Gradual Upgrade Path

To adopt the new format manually:

1. Backup current config - Keep old format as reference
2. Adopt new format - Replace old fields with new structure
3. Test - Verify all backends are reachable and extensions are discovered
4. Add new backends - Use new format to add Forgejo, GitHub, or additional OCI registries
5. Remove old fields - Delete deprecated `gitea` and `oci` top-level sections

### Benefits of Upgrading

- Multiple Sources: Support Gitea, Forgejo, and GitHub simultaneously
- Multiple Registries: Distribute to multiple OCI registries
- Better Resilience: If one backend fails, others continue to work
- Flexible Configuration: Each backend can have different credentials and timeouts
- Future-Proof: New backends can be added without config restructuring

# Quick Developer Guide: Adding New Providers

This guide shows how to quickly add a new provider to the provider-agnostic infrastructure system.

## Prerequisites

- Understand the Provider-Agnostic Architecture
- Have the provider’s SDK or API available
- Know the provider’s authentication requirements

## 5-Minute Provider Addition

### Step 1: Create Provider Directory

    mkdir -p provisioning/extensions/providers/{provider_name}
    mkdir -p provisioning/extensions/providers/{provider_name}/nulib/{provider_name}

### Step 2: Copy Template and Customize

    # Copy the local provider as a template
    cp provisioning/extensions/providers/local/provider.nu \
       provisioning/extensions/providers/{provider_name}/provider.nu

### Step 3: Update Provider Metadata

Edit `provisioning/extensions/providers/{provider_name}/provider.nu`:

    export def get-provider-metadata []: nothing -> record {
        {
            name: "your_provider_name"
            version: "1.0.0"
            description: "Your Provider Description"
            capabilities: {
                server_management: true
                network_management: true     # Set based on provider features
                auto_scaling: false          # Set based on provider features
                multi_region: true           # Set based on provider features
                serverless: false            # Set based on provider features
                # ... customize other capabilities
            }
        }
    }

### Step 4: Implement Core Functions

The provider interface requires these essential functions:

    # Required: Server operations
    export def query_servers [find?: string, cols?: string]: nothing -> list {
        # Call your provider's server listing API
        your_provider_query_servers $find $cols
    }

    export def create_server [settings: record, server: record, check: bool, wait: bool]: nothing -> bool {
        # Call your provider's server creation API
        your_provider_create_server $settings $server $check $wait
    }

    export def server_exists [server: record, error_exit: bool]: nothing -> bool {
        # Check if server exists in your provider
        your_provider_server_exists $server $error_exit
    }

    export def get_ip [settings: record, server: record, ip_type: string, error_exit: bool]: nothing -> string {
        # Get server IP from your provider
        your_provider_get_ip $settings $server $ip_type $error_exit
    }

    # Required: Infrastructure operations
    export def delete_server [settings: record, server: record, keep_storage: bool, error_exit: bool]: nothing -> bool {
        your_provider_delete_server $settings $server $keep_storage $error_exit
    }

    export def server_state [server: record, new_state: string, error_exit: bool, wait: bool, settings: record]: nothing -> bool {
        your_provider_server_state $server $new_state $error_exit $wait $settings
    }

### Step 5: Create Provider-Specific Functions

Create `provisioning/extensions/providers/{provider_name}/nulib/{provider_name}/servers.nu`:

    # Example: DigitalOcean provider functions
    export def digitalocean_query_servers [find?: string, cols?: string]: nothing -> list {
        # Use DigitalOcean API to list droplets
        let droplets = (http get "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"
            --headers { Authorization: $"Bearer ($env.DO_TOKEN)" })

        $droplets.droplets | select name status memory disk region.name networks.v4
    }

    export def digitalocean_create_server [settings: record, server: record, check: bool, wait: bool]: nothing -> bool {
        # Use DigitalOcean API to create droplet
        let payload = {
            name: $server.hostname
            region: $server.zone
            size: $server.plan
            image: ($server.image? | default "ubuntu-20-04-x64")
        }

        if $check {
            print $"Would create DigitalOcean droplet: ($payload)"
            return true
        }

        let result = (http post "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"
            --headers { Authorization: $"Bearer ($env.DO_TOKEN)" }
            --content-type application/json
            $payload)

        $result.droplet.id != null
    }

### Step 6: Test Your Provider

    # Test provider discovery
    nu -c "use provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/providers/registry.nu *; init-provider-registry; list-providers"

    # Test provider loading
    nu -c "use provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/providers/loader.nu *; load-provider 'your_provider_name'"

    # Test provider functions
    nu -c "use provisioning/extensions/providers/your_provider_name/provider.nu *; query_servers"

### Step 7: Add Provider to Infrastructure

Add to your Nickel configuration:

    # workspace/infra/example/servers.ncl
    let servers = [
        {
            hostname = "test-server",
            provider = "your_provider_name",
            zone = "your-region-1",
            plan = "your-instance-type",
        }
    ] in
    servers

## Provider Templates

### Cloud Provider Template

For cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.):

    # Use HTTP calls to cloud APIs
    export def cloud_query_servers [find?: string, cols?: string]: nothing -> list {
        let auth_header = { Authorization: $"Bearer ($env.PROVIDER_TOKEN)" }
        let servers = (http get $"($env.PROVIDER_API_URL)/servers" --headers $auth_header)

        $servers | select name status region instance_type public_ip
    }

### Container Platform Template

For container platforms (Docker, Podman, etc.):

    # Use CLI commands for container platforms
    export def container_query_servers [find?: string, cols?: string]: nothing -> list {
        let containers = (docker ps --format json | from json)

        $containers | select Names State Status Image
    }

### Bare Metal Provider Template

For bare metal or existing servers:

    # Use SSH or local commands
    export def baremetal_query_servers [find?: string, cols?: string]: nothing -> list {
        # Read from inventory file or ping servers
        let inventory = (open inventory.yaml | from yaml)

        $inventory.servers | select hostname ip_address status
    }

## Best Practices

### 1. Error Handling

    export def provider_operation []: nothing -> any {
        try {
            # Your provider operation
            provider_api_call
        } catch {|err|
            log-error $"Provider operation failed: ($err.msg)" "provider"
            if $error_exit { exit 1 }
            null
        }
    }

### 2. Authentication

    # Check for required environment variables
    def check_auth []: nothing -> bool {
        if ($env | get -o PROVIDER_TOKEN) == null {
            log-error "PROVIDER_TOKEN environment variable required" "auth"
            return false
        }
        true
    }

### 3. Rate Limiting

    # Add delays for API rate limits
    def api_call_with_retry [url: string]: nothing -> any {
        mut attempts = 0
        mut max_attempts = 3

        while $attempts < $max_attempts {
            try {
                return (http get $url)
            } catch {
                $attempts += 1
                sleep 1sec
            }
        }

        error make { msg: "API call failed after retries" }
    }

### 4. Provider Capabilities

Set capabilities accurately:

    capabilities: {
        server_management: true          # Can create/delete servers
        network_management: true         # Can manage networks/VPCs
        storage_management: true         # Can manage block storage
        load_balancer: false            # No load balancer support
        dns_management: false           # No DNS support
        auto_scaling: true              # Supports auto-scaling
        spot_instances: false           # No spot instance support
        multi_region: true              # Supports multiple regions
        containers: false               # No container support
        serverless: false               # No serverless support
        encryption_at_rest: true        # Supports encryption
        compliance_certifications: ["SOC2"]  # Available certifications
    }

## Testing Checklist

- Provider discovered by registry
- Provider loads without errors
- All required interface functions implemented
- Provider metadata correct
- Authentication working
- Can query existing resources
- Can create new resources (in test mode)

- Compatible with existing infrastructure configs

## Common Issues

### Provider Not Found

    # Check provider directory structure
    ls -la provisioning/extensions/providers/your_provider_name/

    # Ensure provider.nu exists and has get-provider-metadata function
    grep "get-provider-metadata" provisioning/extensions/providers/your_provider_name/provider.nu

### Interface Validation Failed

    # Check which functions are missing
    nu -c "use provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/providers/interface.nu *; validate-provider-interface 'your_provider_name'"

### Authentication Errors

    # Check environment variables
    env | grep PROVIDER

    # Test API access manually
    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $PROVIDER_TOKEN" https://api.provider.com/test

## Next Steps

1. Documentation: Add provider-specific documentation to `docs/providers/`
2. Examples: Create example infrastructure using your provider
3. Testing: Add integration tests for your provider
4. Optimization: Implement caching and performance optimizations
5. Features: Add provider-specific advanced features

## Getting Help

- Check existing providers for implementation patterns
- Review the Provider Interface Documentation
- Test with the provider test suite: `./provisioning/tools/test-provider-agnostic.nu`
- Run migration checks: `./provisioning/tools/migrate-to-provider-agnostic.nu status`

# Provider-Agnostic Architecture Documentation

## Overview

The new provider-agnostic architecture eliminates hardcoded provider dependencies and enables true multi-provider infrastructure deployments. This addresses two critical limitations of the previous middleware:

1. Hardcoded provider dependencies - No longer requires importing specific provider modules
2. Single-provider limitation - Now supports mixing multiple providers in the same deployment (for example, AWS compute + Cloudflare DNS + UpCloud backup)

## Architecture Components

### 1. Provider Interface (`interface.nu`)

Defines the contract that all providers must implement:

    # Standard interface functions
    - query_servers
    - server_info
    - server_exists
    - create_server
    - delete_server
    - server_state
    - get_ip
    # ... and 20+ other functions

Key Features:

- Type-safe function signatures
- Comprehensive validation
- Provider capability flags
- Interface versioning

### 2. Provider Registry (`registry.nu`)

Manages provider discovery and registration:

    # Initialize registry
    init-provider-registry

    # List available providers
    list-providers --available-only

    # Check provider availability
    is-provider-available "aws"

Features:

- Automatic provider discovery
- Core and extension provider support
- Caching for performance
- Provider capability tracking

### 3. Provider Loader (`loader.nu`)

Handles dynamic provider loading and validation:

    # Load provider dynamically
    load-provider "aws"

    # Get provider with auto-loading
    get-provider "upcloud"

    # Call provider function
    call-provider-function "aws" "query_servers" $find $cols

Features:

- Lazy loading (load only when needed)
- Interface compliance validation
- Error handling and recovery
- Provider health checking

### 4. Provider Adapters

Each provider implements a standard adapter:

    provisioning/extensions/providers/
    ├── aws/provider.nu        # AWS adapter
    ├── upcloud/provider.nu    # UpCloud adapter
    ├── local/provider.nu      # Local adapter
    └── {custom}/provider.nu   # Custom providers

Adapter Structure:

    # AWS Provider Adapter
    export def query_servers [find?: string, cols?: string] {
        aws_query_servers $find $cols
    }

    export def create_server [settings: record, server: record, check: bool, wait: bool] {
        # AWS-specific implementation
    }

### 5. Provider-Agnostic Middleware (`middleware_provider_agnostic.nu`)

The new middleware that uses dynamic dispatch:

    # No hardcoded imports!
    export def mw_query_servers [settings: record, find?: string, cols?: string] {
        $settings.data.servers | each { |server|
            # Dynamic provider loading and dispatch
            dispatch_provider_function $server.provider "query_servers" $find $cols
        }
    }

## Multi-Provider Support

### Example: Mixed Provider Infrastructure

    let servers = [
        {
            hostname = "compute-01",
            provider = "aws",
            # AWS-specific config
        },
        {
            hostname = "backup-01",
            provider = "upcloud",
            # UpCloud-specific config
        },
        {
            hostname = "api.example.com",
            provider = "cloudflare",
            # DNS-specific config
        },
    ] in
    servers

### Multi-Provider Deployment

    # Deploy across multiple providers automatically
    mw_deploy_multi_provider_infra $settings $deployment_plan

    # Get deployment strategy recommendations
    mw_suggest_deployment_strategy {
        regions: ["us-east-1", "eu-west-1"]
        high_availability: true
        cost_optimization: true
    }

## Provider Capabilities

Providers declare their capabilities:

    capabilities: {
        server_management: true
        network_management: true
        auto_scaling: true        # AWS: yes, Local: no
        multi_region: true        # AWS: yes, Local: no
        serverless: true          # AWS: yes, UpCloud: no
        compliance_certifications: ["SOC2", "HIPAA"]
    }

## Migration Guide

### From Old Middleware

Before (hardcoded):

    # middleware.nu
    use ../aws/nulib/aws/servers.nu *
    use ../upcloud/nulib/upcloud/servers.nu *

    match $server.provider {
        "aws" => { aws_query_servers $find $cols }
        "upcloud" => { upcloud_query_servers $find $cols }
    }

After (provider-agnostic):

    # middleware_provider_agnostic.nu
    # No hardcoded imports!

    # Dynamic dispatch
    dispatch_provider_function $server.provider "query_servers" $find $cols

### Migration Steps

1. Replace middleware file:

       cp provisioning/extensions/providers/prov_lib/middleware.nu \
          provisioning/extensions/providers/prov_lib/middleware_legacy.backup

       cp provisioning/extensions/providers/prov_lib/middleware_provider_agnostic.nu \
          provisioning/extensions/providers/prov_lib/middleware.nu

2. Test with existing infrastructure:

       ./provisioning/tools/test-provider-agnostic.nu run-all-tests

3. Update any custom code that directly imported provider modules

## Adding New Providers

### 1. Create Provider Adapter

Create `provisioning/extensions/providers/{name}/provider.nu`:

    # Digital Ocean Provider Example
    export def get-provider-metadata [] {
        {
            name: "digitalocean"
            version: "1.0.0"
            capabilities: {
                server_management: true
                # ... other capabilities
            }
        }
    }

    # Implement required interface functions
    export def query_servers [find?: string, cols?: string] {
        # DigitalOcean-specific implementation
    }

    export def create_server [settings: record, server: record, check: bool, wait: bool] {
        # DigitalOcean-specific implementation
    }

    # ... implement all required functions

### 2. Provider Discovery

The registry will automatically discover the new provider on next initialization.

### 3. Test New Provider

    # Check if discovered
    is-provider-available "digitalocean"

    # Load and test
    load-provider "digitalocean"
    check-provider-health "digitalocean"

## Best Practices

### Provider Development

1. Implement full interface - All functions must be implemented
2. Handle errors gracefully - Return appropriate error values
3. Follow naming conventions - Use consistent function naming
4. Document capabilities - Accurately declare what your provider supports
5. Test thoroughly - Validate against the interface specification

### Multi-Provider Deployments

1. Use capability-based selection - Choose providers based on required features
2. Handle provider failures - Design for provider unavailability
3. Optimize for cost/performance - Mix providers strategically
4. Monitor cross-provider dependencies - Understand inter-provider communication

### Profile-Based Security

    # Environment profiles can restrict providers
    PROVISIONING_PROFILE=production  # Only allows certified providers
    PROVISIONING_PROFILE=development # Allows all providers including local

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. Provider not found

   - Check provider is in correct directory
   - Verify provider.nu exists and implements interface
   - Run `init-provider-registry` to refresh

2. Interface validation failed

   - Use `validate-provider-interface` to check compliance
   - Ensure all required functions are implemented
   - Check function signatures match interface

3. Provider loading errors

   - Check Nushell module syntax
   - Verify import paths are correct
   - Use `check-provider-health` for diagnostics

### Debug Commands

    # Registry diagnostics
    get-provider-stats
    list-providers --verbose

    # Provider diagnostics
    check-provider-health "aws"
    check-all-providers-health

    # Loader diagnostics
    get-loader-stats

## Performance Benefits

1. Lazy Loading - Providers loaded only when needed
2. Caching - Provider registry cached to disk
3. Reduced Memory - No hardcoded imports reducing memory usage
4. Parallel Operations - Multi-provider operations can run in parallel

## Future Enhancements

1. Provider Plugins - Support for external provider plugins
2. Provider Versioning - Multiple versions of same provider
3. Provider Composition - Compose providers for complex scenarios
4. Provider Marketplace - Community provider sharing

## API Reference

See the interface specification for complete function documentation:

    get-provider-interface-docs | table

This returns the complete API with signatures and descriptions for all provider interface functions.

# Cloud Provider Development Guide

Version: 2.0 Status: Production Ready Based On: Hetzner, UpCloud, AWS (3 completed providers)

## Overview: 4-Task Completion Framework

A cloud provider is production-ready when it completes all 4 tasks:

Task | Requirements | Reference
--- | --- | ---
1. Nushell Compliance | 0 deprecated patterns, full implementations | `provisioning/extensions/providers/hetzner/`
2. Test Infrastructure | 51 tests (14 unit + 37 integration, mock-based) | `provisioning/extensions/providers/upcloud/tests/`
3. Runtime Templates | 3+ Jinja2/Bash templates for core resources | `provisioning/extensions/providers/aws/templates/`
4. Nickel Validation | Schemas pass `nickel typecheck` | `provisioning/extensions/providers/hetzner/nickel/`

## Nushell 0.109.0+ Core Rules

These rules are mandatory for all provider Nushell code:

### Rule 1: Module System & Imports

    use mod.nu
    use api.nu
    use servers.nu

### Rule 2: Function Signatures

    def function_name [param: type, optional: type = default] { }

### Rule 3: Return Early, Fail Fast

    def operation [resource: record] {
        if ($resource | get -o id | is-empty) {
            error make {msg: "Resource ID required"}
        }
    }

### Rule 4: Modern Error Handling (CRITICAL)

❌ FORBIDDEN - Deprecated try-catch:

    try {
        ^external_command
    } catch {|err|
        print $"Error: ($err.msg)"
    }

✅ REQUIRED - Modern do/complete pattern:

    let result = (do { ^external_command } | complete)

    if $result.exit_code != 0 {
        error make {msg: $"Command failed: ($result.stderr)"}
    }

    $result.stdout

### Rule 5: Atomic Operations

All operations must fully succeed or fully fail. No partial state changes.

### Rule 12: Structured Error Returns

    error make {
        msg: "Human-readable message",
        label: {text: "Error context", span: (metadata error).span}
    }

### Critical Violations (INSTANT FAIL)

❌ FORBIDDEN:

- `try { } catch { }` blocks
- `let mut variable = value` (mutable state)
- `error make {msg: "Not implemented"}` (stubs)
- Empty function bodies returning ok
- Deprecated error patterns

## Nickel IaC: Three-File Pattern

All Nickel schemas follow this pattern:

### contracts.ncl: Type Definitions

    {
      Server = {
        id | String,
        name | String,
        instance_type | String,
        zone | String,
      },

      Volume = {
        id | String,
        name | String,
        size | Number,
        type | String,
      }
    }

### defaults.ncl: Default Values

    {
      Server = {
        instance_type = "t3.micro",
        zone = "us-east-1a",
      },

      Volume = {
        size = 20,
        type = "gp3",
      }
    }

### main.ncl: Public API

    let contracts = import "contracts.ncl" in
    let defaults = import "defaults.ncl" in

    {
      make_server = fun config => defaults.Server & config,
      make_volume = fun config => defaults.Volume & config,
    }

### version.ncl: Version Tracking

    {
      provider_version = "1.0.0",
      cli_tools = {
        hcloud = "1.47.0+",
      },
      nickel_version = "1.7.0+",
    }

Validation:

    nickel typecheck nickel/contracts.ncl
    nickel typecheck nickel/defaults.ncl
    nickel typecheck nickel/main.ncl
    nickel typecheck nickel/version.ncl
    nickel export nickel/main.ncl

## Tarea 1: Nushell Compliance

### Identify Violations

    cd provisioning/extensions/providers/{PROVIDER}

    grep -r "try {" nulib/ --include="*.nu" | wc -l
    grep -r "let mut " nulib/ --include="*.nu" | wc -l
    grep -r "not implemented" nulib/ --include="*.nu" | wc -l

All three commands should return `0`.

### Fix Mutable Loops: Accumulation Pattern

    def retry_with_backoff [
        closure: closure,
        max_attempts: int
    ]: nothing -> any {
        let result = (
            0..$max_attempts | reduce --fold {
                success: false,
                value: null,
                delay: 100 ms
            } {|attempt, acc|
                if $acc.success {
                    $acc
                } else {
                    let op_result = (do { $closure | call } | complete)

                    if $op_result.exit_code == 0 {
                        {success: true, value: $op_result.stdout, delay: $acc.delay}
                    } else if $attempt >= ($max_attempts - 1) {
                        $acc
                    } else {
                        sleep $acc.delay
                        {success: false, value: null, delay: ($acc.delay * 2)}
                    }
                }
            }
        )

        if $result.success {
            $result.value
        } else {
            error make {msg: $"Failed after ($max_attempts) attempts"}
        }
    }

### Fix Mutable Loops: Recursive Pattern

    def _wait_for_state [
        resource_id: string,
        target_state: string,
        timeout_sec: int,
        elapsed: int = 0,
        interval: int = 2
    ]: nothing -> bool {
        let current = (^aws ec2 describe-volumes \
            --volume-ids $resource_id \
            --query "Volumes[0].State" \
            --output text)

        if ($current | str contains $target_state) {
            true
        } else if $elapsed > $timeout_sec {
            false
        } else {
            sleep ($"($interval)sec" | into duration)
            _wait_for_state $resource_id $target_state $timeout_sec ($elapsed + $interval) $interval
        }
    }

### Fix Error Handling

    def create_server [config: record] {
        if ($config | get -o name | is-empty) {
            error make {msg: "Server name required"}
        }

        let api_result = (do {
            ^hcloud server create \
                --name $config.name \
                --type $config.instance_type \
                --format json
        } | complete)

        if $api_result.exit_code != 0 {
            error make {msg: $"Server creation failed: ($api_result.stderr)"}
        }

        let response = ($api_result.stdout | from json)
        {
            id: $response.server.id,
            name: $response.server.name,
            status: "created"
        }
    }

### Validation

    cd provisioning/extensions/providers/{PROVIDER}

    for file in nulib/*/\*.nu; do
        nu --ide-check 100 "$file" 2>&1 | grep -i error && exit 1

# Provider Distribution Guide

Strategic Guide for Provider Management and Distribution

This guide explains the two complementary approaches for managing providers in the provisioning system and when to use each.

## Table of Contents

- Overview
- Module-Loader Approach
- Provider Packs Approach
- Comparison Matrix
- Recommended Hybrid Workflow
- Command Reference
- Real-World Scenarios
- Best Practices

## Overview

The provisioning system supports two complementary approaches for provider management:

1. Module-Loader: Symlink-based local development with dynamic discovery
2. Provider Packs: Versioned, distributable artifacts for production

Both approaches work seamlessly together and serve different phases of the development lifecycle.

## Module-Loader Approach

### Purpose

Fast, local development with direct access to provider source code.

### How It Works

    # Install provider for infrastructure (creates symlinks)
    provisioning providers install upcloud wuji

    # Internal Process:
    # 1. Discovers provider in extensions/providers/upcloud/
    # 2. Creates symlink: workspace/infra/wuji/.nickel-modules/upcloud_prov -> extensions/providers/upcloud/nickel/
    # 3. Updates workspace/infra/wuji/manifest.toml with local path dependency
    # 4. Updates workspace/infra/wuji/providers.manifest.yaml

### Key Features

✅ Instant Changes: Edit code in `extensions/providers/`, immediately available in infrastructure ✅ Auto-Discovery: Automatically finds all providers in extensions/ ✅ Simple Commands: `providers install/remove/list/validate` ✅ Easy Debugging: Direct access to source code ✅ No Packaging: Skip build/package step during development

### Best Use Cases

- 🔧 Active Development: Writing new provider features
- 🧪 Testing: Rapid iteration and testing cycles
- 🏠 Local Infrastructure: Single machine or small team
- 📝 Debugging: Need to modify and test provider code
- 🎓 Learning: Understanding how providers work

### Example Workflow

    # 1. List available providers
    provisioning providers list

    # 2. Install provider for infrastructure
    provisioning providers install upcloud wuji

    # 3. Verify installation
    provisioning providers validate wuji

    # 4. Edit provider code
    vim extensions/providers/upcloud/nickel/server_upcloud.ncl

    # 5. Test changes immediately (no repackaging!)
    cd workspace/infra/wuji
    nickel export main.ncl

    # 6. Remove when done
    provisioning providers remove upcloud wuji

### File Structure

    extensions/providers/upcloud/
    ├── nickel/
    │   ├── manifest.toml
    │   ├── server_upcloud.ncl
    │   └── network_upcloud.ncl
    └── README.md

    workspace/infra/wuji/
    ├── .nickel-modules/
    │   └── upcloud_prov -> ../../../../extensions/providers/upcloud/nickel/  # Symlink
    ├── manifest.toml        # Updated with local path dependency
    ├── providers.manifest.yaml  # Tracks installed providers
    └── schemas/
        └── servers.ncl

## Provider Packs Approach

### Purpose

Create versioned, distributable artifacts for production deployments and team collaboration.

### How It Works

    # Package providers into distributable artifacts
    export PROVISIONING=/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning
    ./provisioning/core/cli/pack providers

    # Internal Process:
    # 1. Enters each provider's nickel/ directory
    # 2. Runs: nickel export . --format json (generates JSON for distribution)
    # 3. Creates: upcloud_prov_0.0.1.tar
    # 4. Generates metadata: distribution/registry/upcloud_prov.json

### Key Features

✅ Versioned Artifacts: Immutable, reproducible packages ✅ Portable: Share across teams and environments ✅ Registry Publishing: Push to artifact registries ✅ Metadata: Version, maintainer, license information ✅ Production-Ready: What you package is what you deploy

### Best Use Cases

- 🚀 Production Deployments: Stable, tested provider versions
- 📦 Distribution: Share across teams or organizations
- 🔄 CI/CD Pipelines: Automated build and deploy
- 📊 Version Control: Track provider versions explicitly
- 🌐 Registry Publishing: Publish to artifact registries
- 🔒 Compliance: Immutable artifacts for auditing

### Example Workflow

    # Set environment variable
    export PROVISIONING=/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning

    # 1. Package all providers
    ./provisioning/core/cli/pack providers

    # Output:
    # ✅ Creates: distribution/packages/upcloud_prov_0.0.1.tar
    # ✅ Creates: distribution/packages/aws_prov_0.0.1.tar
    # ✅ Creates: distribution/packages/local_prov_0.0.1.tar
    # ✅ Metadata: distribution/registry/*.json

    # 2. List packaged modules
    ./provisioning/core/cli/pack list

    # 3. Package only core schemas
    ./provisioning/core/cli/pack core

    # 4. Clean old packages (keep latest 3 versions)
    ./provisioning/core/cli/pack clean --keep-latest 3

    # 5. Upload to registry (your implementation)
    # rsync distribution/packages/*.tar repo.jesusperez.pro:/registry/

## Recommended Hybrid Workflow

### Development Phase

    # 1. Start with module-loader for development
    provisioning providers list
    provisioning providers install upcloud wuji

    # 2. Develop and iterate quickly
    vim extensions/providers/upcloud/nickel/server_upcloud.ncl
    # Test immediately - no packaging needed

    # 3. Validate before release
    provisioning providers validate wuji
    nickel export workspace/infra/wuji/main.ncl

### Release Phase

    # 4. Create release packages
    export PROVISIONING=/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning
    ./provisioning/core/cli/pack providers

    # 5. Verify packages
    ./provisioning/core/cli/pack list

    # 6. Tag release
    git tag v0.0.2
    git push origin v0.0.2

    # 7. Publish to registry (your workflow)
    rsync distribution/packages/*.tar user@repo.jesusperez.pro:/registry/v0.0.2/

### Production Deployment

    # 8. Download specific version from registry
    wget https://repo.jesusperez.pro/registry/v0.0.2/upcloud_prov_0.0.2.tar

    # 9. Extract and install
    tar -xf upcloud_prov_0.0.2.tar -C infrastructure/providers/

    # 10. Use in production infrastructure
    # (Configure manifest.toml to point to extracted package)

## Command Reference

### Module-Loader Commands

    # List all available providers
    provisioning providers list [--kcl] [--format table|json|yaml]

    # Show provider information
    provisioning providers info <provider> [--kcl]

    # Install provider for infrastructure
    provisioning providers install <provider> <infra> [--version 0.0.1]

    # Remove provider from infrastructure
    provisioning providers remove <provider> <infra> [--force]

    # List installed providers
    provisioning providers installed <infra> [--format table|json|yaml]

    # Validate provider installation
    provisioning providers validate <infra>

    # Sync KCL dependencies
    ./provisioning/core/cli/module-loader sync-kcl <infra>

### Provider Pack Commands

    # Set environment variable (required)
    export PROVISIONING=/path/to/provisioning

    # Package core provisioning schemas
    ./provisioning/core/cli/pack core [--output dir] [--version 0.0.1]

    # Package single provider
    ./provisioning/core/cli/pack provider <name> [--output dir] [--version 0.0.1]

    # Package all providers
    ./provisioning/core/cli/pack providers [--output dir]

    # List all packages
    ./provisioning/core/cli/pack list [--format table|json|yaml]

    # Clean old packages
    ./provisioning/core/cli/pack clean [--keep-latest 3] [--dry-run]

## Real-World Scenarios

### Scenario 1: Solo Developer - Local Infrastructure

Situation: Working alone on local infrastructure projects

Recommendation: Module-Loader only

    # Simple and fast
    providers install upcloud homelab
    providers install aws cloud-backup
    # Edit and test freely

Why: No need for versioning, packaging overhead unnecessary.

### Scenario 2: Small Team - Shared Development

Situation: 2-5 developers sharing code via Git

Recommendation: Module-Loader + Git

    # Each developer
    git clone repo
    providers install upcloud project-x
    # Make changes, commit to Git
    git commit -m "Add upcloud GPU support"
    git push
    # Others pull changes
    git pull
    # Changes immediately available via symlinks

Why: Git provides version control, symlinks provide instant updates.

### Scenario 3: Medium Team - Multiple Projects

Situation: 10+ developers, multiple infrastructure projects

Recommendation: Hybrid (Module-Loader dev + Provider Packs releases)

    # Development (team member)
    providers install upcloud staging-env
    # Make changes...

    # Release (release engineer)
    pack providers                    # Create v0.2.0
    git tag v0.2.0
    # Upload to internal registry

    # Other projects
    # Download upcloud_prov_0.2.0.tar
    # Use stable, tested version

Why: Developers iterate fast, other teams use stable versions.

### Scenario 4: Enterprise - Production Infrastructure

Situation: Critical production systems, compliance requirements

Recommendation: Provider Packs only

    # CI/CD Pipeline
    pack providers                    # Build artifacts
    # Run tests on packages
    # Sign packages
    # Publish to artifact registry

    # Production Deployment
    # Download signed upcloud_prov_1.0.0.tar
    # Verify signature
    # Deploy immutable artifact
    # Document exact versions for compliance

Why: Immutability, auditability, and rollback capabilities required.

### Scenario 5: Open Source - Public Distribution

Situation: Sharing providers with community

Recommendation: Provider Packs + Registry

    # Maintainer
    pack providers
    # Create release on GitHub
    gh release create v1.0.0 distribution/packages/*.tar

    # Community User
    # Download from GitHub releases
    wget https://github.com/project/releases/v1.0.0/upcloud_prov_1.0.0.tar
    # Extract and use

Why: Easy distribution, versioning, and downloading for users.

## Best Practices

### For Development

1. Use Module-Loader by default

   - Fast iteration is crucial during development
   - Symlinks allow immediate testing

2. Keep providers.manifest.yaml in Git

   - Documents which providers are used
   - Team members can sync easily

3. Validate before committing

       providers validate wuji
       nickel eval defs/servers.ncl

### For Releases

1. Version Everything

   - Use semantic versioning (0.1.0, 0.2.0, 1.0.0)
   - Update version in kcl.mod before packing

2. Create Packs for Releases

       pack providers --version 0.2.0
       git tag v0.2.0

3. Test Packs Before Publishing

   - Extract and test packages
   - Verify metadata is correct

### For Production

1. Pin Versions

   - Use exact versions in production kcl.mod
   - Never use “latest” or symlinks

2. Maintain Artifact Registry

   - Store all production versions
   - Keep old versions for rollback

3. Document Deployments

   - Record which versions deployed when
   - Maintain change log

### For CI/CD

1. Automate Pack Creation

       # .github/workflows/release.yml
       - name: Pack Providers
         run: |
           export PROVISIONING=$GITHUB_WORKSPACE/provisioning
           ./provisioning/core/cli/pack providers

2. Run Tests on Packs

   - Extract packages
   - Run validation tests
   - Ensure they work in isolation

3. Publish Automatically

   - Upload to artifact registry on tag
   - Update package index

## Migration Path

### From Module-Loader to Packs

When you’re ready to move to production:

    # 1. Clean up development setup
    providers remove upcloud wuji

    # 2. Create release pack
    pack providers --version 1.0.0

    # 3. Extract pack in infrastructure
    cd workspace/infra/wuji
    tar -xf ../../../distribution/packages/upcloud_prov_1.0.0.tar vendor/

    # 4. Update kcl.mod to use vendored path
    # Change from: upcloud_prov = { path = "./.kcl-modules/upcloud_prov" }
    # To: upcloud_prov = { path = "./vendor/upcloud_prov", version = "1.0.0" }

    # 5. Test
    nickel eval defs/servers.ncl

### From Packs Back to Module-Loader

When you need to debug or develop:

    # 1. Remove vendored version
    rm -rf workspace/infra/wuji/vendor/upcloud_prov

    # 2. Install via module-loader
    providers install upcloud wuji

    # 3. Make changes in extensions/providers/upcloud/kcl/

    # 4. Test immediately
    cd workspace/infra/wuji
    nickel eval defs/servers.ncl

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

    # Required for pack commands
    export PROVISIONING=/path/to/provisioning

    # Alternative
    export PROVISIONING_CONFIG=/path/to/provisioning

### Config Files

Distribution settings in `provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml`:

    [distribution]

## Troubleshooting

### Module-Loader Issues

Problem: Provider not found after install

    # Check provider exists
    providers list | grep upcloud

    # Validate installation
    providers validate wuji

    # Check symlink
    ls -la workspace/infra/wuji/.kcl-modules/

Problem: Changes not reflected

    # Verify symlink is correct
    readlink workspace/infra/wuji/.kcl-modules/upcloud_prov

    # Should point to extensions/providers/upcloud/kcl/

### Provider Pack Issues

Problem: No .tar file created

    # Check KCL version (need 0.11.3+)
    kcl version

    # Check kcl.mod exists
    ls extensions/providers/upcloud/kcl/kcl.mod

Problem: PROVISIONING environment variable not set

    # Set it
    export PROVISIONING=/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning

    # Or add to shell profile
    echo 'export PROVISIONING=/path/to/provisioning' >> ~/.zshrc

## Conclusion

Both approaches are valuable and complementary:

- Module-Loader: Development velocity, rapid iteration
- Provider Packs: Production stability, version control

Default Strategy:

- Use Module-Loader for day-to-day development
- Create Provider Packs for releases and production
- Both systems work seamlessly together

The system is designed for flexibility - choose the right tool for your current phase of work!

### Nickel Syntax Errors

    # Check syntax
    nickel typecheck provisioning/extensions/taskservs/{category}/my-service/schemas/my-service.ncl

    # Format code
    nickel format provisioning/extensions/taskservs/{category}/my-service/schemas/

## 💡 Pro Tips

1. Use existing taskservs as templates - Copy and modify similar services
2. Test with –check first - Always use dry run before actual deployment
3. Follow naming conventions - Use kebab-case for consistency
4. Document thoroughly - Good docs save time later
5. Version your schemas - Include version.ncl for compatibility tracking

## 🔗 Next Steps

1. Read the full Taskserv Developer Guide
2. Explore existing taskservs in `provisioning/extensions/taskservs/`

    # 5. Background operations
    cargo run --release -p provisioning-daemon &

    # 6. Installer (optional, for new deployments)
    cargo run --release -p installer &

### 6. Verify Services

    # Check all services are running
    pgrep -l "vault-service|extension-registry|provisioning-rag|ai-service"

    # Test endpoints
    curl http://localhost:8200/health   # Vault
    curl http://localhost:8081/health   # Registry
    curl http://localhost:8083/health   # RAG
    curl http://localhost:8082/health   # AI Service
    curl http://localhost:9090/health   # Orchestrator
    curl http://localhost:8080/health   # Control Center

## Solo Mode Deployment

Perfect for: Development, testing, learning

### Step 1: Verify Solo Configuration Files

    # Check that solo schemas are available
    ls -la provisioning/schemas/platform/defaults/deployment/solo-defaults.ncl

    # Available schemas for each service:
    # - provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/vault-service.ncl
    # - provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/extension-registry.ncl
    # - provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/rag.ncl
    # - provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/ai-service.ncl
    # - provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/provisioning-daemon.ncl

### Step 2: Set Solo Environment Variables

    # Set all services to solo mode
    export VAULT_MODE=solo
    export REGISTRY_MODE=solo
    export RAG_MODE=solo
    export AI_SERVICE_MODE=solo
    export DAEMON_MODE=solo

    # Verify settings
    echo $VAULT_MODE  # Should output: solo

### Step 3: Build Services

    # Build in release mode for better performance
    cargo build --release

### Step 4: Create Local Data Directories

    # Create storage directories for solo mode
    mkdir -p /tmp/provisioning-solo/{vault,registry,rag,ai,daemon}
    chmod 755 /tmp/provisioning-solo/{vault,registry,rag,ai,daemon}

### Step 5: Start Services

    # Start each service in a separate terminal or use tmux:

    # Terminal 1: Vault
    cargo run --release -p vault-service

    # Terminal 2: Registry
    cargo run --release -p extension-registry

    # Terminal 3: RAG
    cargo run --release -p provisioning-rag

    # Terminal 4: AI Service
    cargo run --release -p ai-service

    # Terminal 5: Orchestrator
    cargo run --release -p orchestrator

    # Terminal 6: Control Center
    cargo run --release -p control-center

    # Terminal 7: Daemon
    cargo run --release -p provisioning-daemon

### Step 6: Test Services

    # Wait 10-15 seconds for services to start, then test

    # Check service health
    curl -s http://localhost:8200/health | jq .
    curl -s http://localhost:8081/health | jq .
    curl -s http://localhost:8083/health | jq .

    # Try a simple operation
    curl -X GET http://localhost:9090/api/v1/health

### Step 7: Verify Persistence (Optional)

    # Check that data is stored locally
    ls -la /tmp/provisioning-solo/vault/
    ls -la /tmp/provisioning-solo/registry/

    # Data should accumulate as you use the services

### Cleanup

    # Stop all services
    pkill -f "cargo run --release"

    # Remove temporary data (optional)
    rm -rf /tmp/provisioning-solo

## Multiuser Mode Deployment

Perfect for: Team environments, shared infrastructure

### Prerequisites

- SurrealDB: Running and accessible at `http://surrealdb:8000`
- Network Access: All machines can reach SurrealDB
- DNS/Hostnames: Services accessible via hostnames (not just localhost)

### Step 1: Deploy SurrealDB

    # Using Docker (recommended)
    docker run -d \
      --name surrealdb \
      -p 8000:8000 \
      surrealdb/surrealdb:latest \
      start --user root --pass root

    # Or using native installation:
    surreal start --user root --pass root

### Step 2: Verify SurrealDB Connectivity

    # Test SurrealDB connection
    curl -s http://localhost:8000/health

    # Should return: {"version":"v1.x.x"}

### Step 3: Set Multiuser Environment Variables

    # Configure all services for multiuser mode
    export VAULT_MODE=multiuser
    export REGISTRY_MODE=multiuser
    export RAG_MODE=multiuser
    export AI_SERVICE_MODE=multiuser
    export DAEMON_MODE=multiuser

    # Set database connection
    export SURREALDB_URL=http://surrealdb:8000
    export SURREALDB_USER=root
    export SURREALDB_PASS=root

    # Set service hostnames (if not localhost)
    export VAULT_SERVICE_HOST=vault.internal
    export REGISTRY_HOST=registry.internal
    export RAG_HOST=rag.internal

### Step 4: Build Services

    cargo build --release

### Step 5: Create Shared Data Directories

    # Create directories on shared storage (NFS, etc.)
    mkdir -p /mnt/provisioning-data/{vault,registry,rag,ai}
    chmod 755 /mnt/provisioning-data/{vault,registry,rag,ai}

    # Or use local directories if on separate machines
    mkdir -p /var/lib/provisioning/{vault,registry,rag,ai}

### Step 6: Start Services on Multiple Machines

    # Machine 1: Infrastructure services
    ssh ops@machine1
    export VAULT_MODE=multiuser
    cargo run --release -p vault-service &
    cargo run --release -p extension-registry &

    # Machine 2: AI services
    ssh ops@machine2
    export RAG_MODE=multiuser
    export AI_SERVICE_MODE=multiuser
    cargo run --release -p provisioning-rag &
    cargo run --release -p ai-service &

    # Machine 3: Orchestration
    ssh ops@machine3
    cargo run --release -p orchestrator &
    cargo run --release -p control-center &

    # Machine 4: Background tasks
    ssh ops@machine4
    export DAEMON_MODE=multiuser
    cargo run --release -p provisioning-daemon &

### Step 7: Test Multi-Machine Setup

    # From any machine, test cross-machine connectivity
    curl -s http://machine1:8200/health
    curl -s http://machine2:8083/health
    curl -s http://machine3:9090/health

    # Test integration
    curl -X POST http://machine3:9090/api/v1/provision \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"workspace": "test"}'

### Step 8: Enable User Access

    # Create shared credentials
    export VAULT_TOKEN=s.xxxxxxxxxxx

    # Configure TLS (optional but recommended)
    # Update configs to use https:// URLs
    export VAULT_MODE=multiuser
    # Edit provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/vault-service.ncl
    # Add TLS configuration in the schema definition
    # See: provisioning/schemas/platform/validators/ for constraints

### Monitoring Multiuser Deployment

    # Check all services are connected to SurrealDB
    for host in machine1 machine2 machine3 machine4; do
      ssh ops@$host "curl -s http://localhost/api/v1/health | jq .database_connected"
    done

    # Monitor SurrealDB
    curl -s http://surrealdb:8000/version

## CICD Mode Deployment

Perfect for: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, cloud automation

### Step 1: Understand Ephemeral Nature

CICD mode services:

- Don’t persist data between runs
- Use in-memory storage
- Have RAG disabled
- Optimize for startup speed
- Suitable for containerized deployments

### Step 2: Set CICD Environment Variables

    # Use cicd mode for all services
    export VAULT_MODE=cicd
    export REGISTRY_MODE=cicd
    export RAG_MODE=cicd
    export AI_SERVICE_MODE=cicd
    export DAEMON_MODE=cicd

    # Disable TLS (not needed in CI)
    export CI_ENVIRONMENT=true

### Step 3: Containerize Services (Optional)

    # Dockerfile for CICD deployments
    FROM rust:1.75-slim

    WORKDIR /app
    COPY . .

    # Build all services
    RUN cargo build --release

    # Set CICD mode
    ENV VAULT_MODE=cicd
    ENV REGISTRY_MODE=cicd
    ENV RAG_MODE=cicd
    ENV AI_SERVICE_MODE=cicd

    # Expose ports
    EXPOSE 8200 8081 8083 8082 9090 8080

    # Run services
    CMD ["sh", "-c", "\
      cargo run --release -p vault-service & \
      cargo run --release -p extension-registry & \
      cargo run --release -p provisioning-rag & \
      cargo run --release -p ai-service & \
      cargo run --release -p orchestrator & \
      wait"]

### Step 4: GitHub Actions Example

              curl -f http://localhost:8200/health
              curl -f http://localhost:8081/health
              curl -f http://localhost:9090/health

      deploy:
        needs: test-deployment
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
        steps:
          - uses: actions/checkout@v3
          - name: Deploy to Production
            run: |
              # Deploy production enterprise cluster
              ./scripts/deploy-enterprise.sh

### Step 5: Run CICD Tests

    # Simulate CI environment locally
    export VAULT_MODE=cicd
    export CI_ENVIRONMENT=true

    # Build
    cargo build --release

    # Run short-lived services for testing
    timeout 30 cargo run --release -p vault-service &
    timeout 30 cargo run --release -p extension-registry &
    timeout 30 cargo run --release -p orchestrator &

    # Run tests while services are running
    sleep 5
    cargo test --release

    # Services auto-cleanup after timeout

## Enterprise Mode Deployment

Perfect for: Production, high availability, compliance

### Prerequisites

- 3+ Machines: Minimum 3 for HA
- Etcd Cluster: For distributed consensus
- Load Balancer: HAProxy, nginx, or cloud LB
- TLS Certificates: Valid certificates for all services
- Monitoring: Prometheus, ELK, or cloud monitoring
- Backup System: Daily snapshots to S3 or similar

### Step 1: Deploy Infrastructure

#### 1.1 Deploy Etcd Cluster

    # Node 1, 2, 3
    etcd --name=node-1 \
         --listen-client-urls=http://0.0.0.0:2379 \
         --advertise-client-urls=http://node-1.internal:2379 \
         --initial-cluster="node-1=http://node-1.internal:2380,node-2=http://node-2.internal:2380,node-3=http://node-3.internal:2380" \
         --initial-cluster-state=new

    # Verify cluster
    etcdctl --endpoints=http://localhost:2379 member list

#### 1.2 Deploy Load Balancer

    # HAProxy configuration for vault-service (example)
    frontend vault_frontend
        bind *:8200
        mode tcp
        default_backend vault_backend

    backend vault_backend
        mode tcp
        balance roundrobin
        server vault-1 10.0.1.10:8200 check
        server vault-2 10.0.1.11:8200 check
        server vault-3 10.0.1.12:8200 check

#### 1.3 Configure TLS

    # Generate certificates (or use existing)
    mkdir -p /etc/provisioning/tls

    # For each service:
    openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 \
      -keyout /etc/provisioning/tls/vault-key.pem \
      -out /etc/provisioning/tls/vault-cert.pem \
      -days 365 -nodes \
      -subj "/CN=vault.provisioning.prod"

    # Set permissions
    chmod 600 /etc/provisioning/tls/*-key.pem
    chmod 644 /etc/provisioning/tls/*-cert.pem

### Step 2: Set Enterprise Environment Variables

    # All machines: Set enterprise mode
    export VAULT_MODE=enterprise
    export REGISTRY_MODE=enterprise
    export RAG_MODE=enterprise
    export AI_SERVICE_MODE=enterprise
    export DAEMON_MODE=enterprise

    # Database cluster
    export SURREALDB_URL="ws://surrealdb-cluster.internal:8000"
    export SURREALDB_REPLICAS=3

    # Etcd cluster
    export ETCD_ENDPOINTS="http://node-1.internal:2379,http://node-2.internal:2379,http://node-3.internal:2379"

    # TLS configuration
    export TLS_CERT_PATH=/etc/provisioning/tls
    export TLS_VERIFY=true
    export TLS_CA_CERT=/etc/provisioning/tls/ca.crt

    # Monitoring
    export PROMETHEUS_URL=http://prometheus.internal:9090
    export METRICS_ENABLED=true
    export AUDIT_LOG_ENABLED=true

### Step 3: Deploy Services Across Cluster

    # Ansible playbook (simplified)
    ---
    - hosts: provisioning_cluster
      tasks:
        - name: Build services
          shell: cargo build --release

        - name: Start vault-service (machine 1-3)
          shell: "cargo run --release -p vault-service"
          when: "'vault' in group_names"

        - name: Start orchestrator (machine 2-3)
          shell: "cargo run --release -p orchestrator"
          when: "'orchestrator' in group_names"

        - name: Start daemon (machine 3)
          shell: "cargo run --release -p provisioning-daemon"
          when: "'daemon' in group_names"

        - name: Verify cluster health
          uri:
            url: "https://{{ inventory_hostname }}:9090/health"
            validate_certs: yes

### Step 4: Monitor Cluster Health

    # Check cluster status
    curl -s https://vault.internal:8200/health | jq .state

    # Check replication
    curl -s https://orchestrator.internal:9090/api/v1/cluster/status

    # Monitor etcd
    etcdctl --endpoints=https://node-1.internal:2379 endpoint health

    # Check leader election
    etcdctl --endpoints=https://node-1.internal:2379 election list

### Step 5: Enable Monitoring & Alerting

    # Prometheus configuration
    global:
      scrape_interval: 30s
      evaluation_interval: 30s

    scrape_configs:
      - job_name: 'vault-service'
        scheme: https
        tls_config:
          ca_file: /etc/provisioning/tls/ca.crt
        static_configs:
          - targets: ['vault-1.internal:8200', 'vault-2.internal:8200', 'vault-3.internal:8200']

      - job_name: 'orchestrator'
        scheme: https
        static_configs:
          - targets: ['orch-1.internal:9090', 'orch-2.internal:9090', 'orch-3.internal:9090']

### Step 6: Backup & Recovery

    # Daily backup script
    #!/bin/bash
    BACKUP_DIR="/mnt/provisioning-backups"
    DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)

    # Backup etcd
    etcdctl --endpoints=https://node-1.internal:2379 \
      snapshot save "$BACKUP_DIR/etcd-$DATE.db"

    # Backup SurrealDB
    curl -X POST https://surrealdb.internal:8000/backup \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $SURREALDB_TOKEN" \
      > "$BACKUP_DIR/surreal-$DATE.sql"

    # Upload to S3
    aws s3 cp "$BACKUP_DIR/etcd-$DATE.db" \
      s3://provisioning-backups/etcd/

    # Cleanup old backups (keep 30 days)
    find "$BACKUP_DIR" -mtime +30 -delete

## Service Management

### Starting Services

#### Individual Service Startup

    # Start one service
    export VAULT_MODE=enterprise
    cargo run --release -p vault-service

    # In another terminal
    export REGISTRY_MODE=enterprise
    cargo run --release -p extension-registry

#### Batch Startup

    # Start all services (dependency order)
    #!/bin/bash
    set -e

    MODE=${1:-solo}
    export VAULT_MODE=$MODE
    export REGISTRY_MODE=$MODE
    export RAG_MODE=$MODE
    export AI_SERVICE_MODE=$MODE
    export DAEMON_MODE=$MODE

    echo "Starting provisioning platform in $MODE mode..."

    # Core services first
    echo "Starting infrastructure..."
    cargo run --release -p vault-service &
    VAULT_PID=$!

    echo "Starting extension registry..."
    cargo run --release -p extension-registry &
    REGISTRY_PID=$!

    # AI layer
    echo "Starting AI services..."
    cargo run --release -p provisioning-rag &
    RAG_PID=$!

    cargo run --release -p ai-service &
    AI_PID=$!

    # Orchestration
    echo "Starting orchestration..."
    cargo run --release -p orchestrator &
    ORCH_PID=$!

    echo "All services started. PIDs: $VAULT_PID $REGISTRY_PID $RAG_PID $AI_PID $ORCH_PID"

### Stopping Services

    # Stop all services gracefully
    pkill -SIGTERM -f "cargo run --release -p"

    # Wait for graceful shutdown
    sleep 5

    # Force kill if needed
    pkill -9 -f "cargo run --release -p"

    # Verify all stopped
    pgrep -f "cargo run --release -p" && echo "Services still running" || echo "All stopped"

### Restarting Services

    # Restart single service
    pkill -SIGTERM vault-service
    sleep 2
    cargo run --release -p vault-service &

    # Restart all services
    ./scripts/restart-all.sh $MODE

    # Restart with config reload
    export VAULT_MODE=multiuser
    pkill -SIGTERM vault-service
    sleep 2
    cargo run --release -p vault-service &

### Checking Service Status

    # Check running processes
    pgrep -a "cargo run --release"

    # Check listening ports
    netstat -tlnp | grep -E "8200|8081|8083|8082|9090|8080"

    # Or using ss (modern alternative)
    ss -tlnp | grep -E "8200|8081|8083|8082|9090|8080"

    # Health endpoint checks
    for service in vault registry rag ai orchestrator; do
      echo "=== $service ==="
      curl -s http://localhost:${port[$service]}/health | jq .
    done

## Troubleshooting

### Service Won’t Start

Problem: `error: failed to bind to port 8200`

Solutions:

    # Check if port is in use
    lsof -i :8200
    ss -tlnp | grep 8200

    # Kill existing process
    pkill -9 -f vault-service

    # Or use different port
    export VAULT_SERVER_PORT=8201
    cargo run --release -p vault-service

### Configuration Loading Fails

Problem: `error: failed to load config from mode file`

Solutions:

    # Verify schemas exist
    ls -la provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/vault-service.ncl

    # Validate schema syntax
    nickel typecheck provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/vault-service.ncl

    # Check defaults are present
    nickel typecheck provisioning/schemas/platform/defaults/vault-service-defaults.ncl

    # Verify deployment mode overlay exists
    ls -la provisioning/schemas/platform/defaults/deployment/$VAULT_MODE-defaults.ncl

    # Run service with explicit mode
    export VAULT_MODE=solo
    cargo run --release -p vault-service

### Database Connection Issues

Problem: `error: failed to connect to database`

Solutions:

    # Verify database is running
    curl http://surrealdb:8000/health
    etcdctl --endpoints=http://etcd:2379 endpoint health

    # Check connectivity
    nc -zv surrealdb 8000
    nc -zv etcd 2379

    # Update connection string
    export SURREALDB_URL=ws://surrealdb:8000
    export ETCD_ENDPOINTS=http://etcd:2379

    # Restart service with new config
    pkill -9 vault-service
    cargo run --release -p vault-service

### Service Crashes on Startup

Problem: Service exits with code 1 or 139

Solutions:

    # Run with verbose logging
    RUST_LOG=debug cargo run -p vault-service 2>&1 | head -50

    # Check system resources
    free -h
    df -h

    # Check for core dumps
    coredumpctl list

    # Run under debugger (if crash suspected)
    rust-gdb --args target/release/vault-service

### High Memory Usage

Problem: Service consuming > expected memory

Solutions:

    # Check memory usage
    ps aux | grep vault-service | grep -v grep

    # Monitor over time
    watch -n 1 'ps aux | grep vault-service | grep -v grep'

    # Reduce worker count
    export VAULT_SERVER_WORKERS=2
    cargo run --release -p vault-service

    # Check for memory leaks
    valgrind --leak-check=full target/release/vault-service

### Network/DNS Issues

Problem: `error: failed to resolve hostname`

Solutions:

    # Test DNS resolution
    nslookup vault.internal
    dig vault.internal

    # Test connectivity to service
    curl -v http://vault.internal:8200/health

    # Add to /etc/hosts if needed
    echo "10.0.1.10 vault.internal" >> /etc/hosts

    # Check network interface
    ip addr show
    netstat -nr

### Data Persistence Issues

Problem: Data lost after restart

Solutions:

    # Verify backup exists
    ls -la /mnt/provisioning-backups/
    ls -la /var/lib/provisioning/

    # Check disk space
    df -h /var/lib/provisioning

    # Verify file permissions
    ls -l /var/lib/provisioning/vault/
    chmod 755 /var/lib/provisioning/vault/*

    # Restore from backup
    ./scripts/restore-backup.sh /mnt/provisioning-backups/vault-20260105.sql

### Debugging Checklist

When troubleshooting, use this systematic approach:

    # 1. Check service is running
    pgrep -f vault-service || echo "Service not running"

    # 2. Check port is listening
    ss -tlnp | grep 8200 || echo "Port not listening"

    # 3. Check logs for errors
    tail -20 /var/log/provisioning/vault-service.log | grep -i error

    # 4. Test HTTP endpoint
    curl -i http://localhost:8200/health

    # 5. Check dependencies
    curl http://surrealdb:8000/health
    etcdctl --endpoints=http://etcd:2379 endpoint health

    # 6. Check schema definition
    nickel typecheck provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/vault-service.ncl

    # 7. Verify environment variables
    env | grep -E "VAULT_|SURREALDB_|ETCD_"

    # 8. Check system resources
    free -h && df -h && top -bn1 | head -10

## Configuration Updates

### Updating Service Configuration

    # 1. Edit the schema definition
    vim provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/vault-service.ncl

## Service Registry

### Configuration File

Location: `provisioning/config/services.toml`

### Service Definition Structure

    [services.<service-name>]
    name = "<service-name>"
    type = "platform" | "infrastructure" | "utility"
    category = "orchestration" | "auth" | "dns" | "git" | "registry" | "api" | "ui"
    description = "Service description"
    required_for = ["operation1", "operation2"]
    dependencies = ["dependency1", "dependency2"]
    conflicts = ["conflicting-service"]

    [services.<service-name>.deployment]
    mode = "binary" | "docker" | "docker-compose" | "kubernetes" | "remote"

    # Mode-specific configuration
    [services.<service-name>.deployment.binary]
    binary_path = "/path/to/binary"
    args = ["--arg1", "value1"]
    working_dir = "/working/directory"
    env = { KEY = "value" }

    [services.<service-name>.health_check]
    type = "http" | "tcp" | "command" | "file" | "none"
    interval = 10
    retries = 3
    timeout = 5

    [services.<service-name>.health_check.http]
    endpoint = "http://localhost:9090/health"
    expected_status = 200
    method = "GET"

    [services.<service-name>.startup]
    auto_start = true
    start_timeout = 30
    start_order = 10
    restart_on_failure = true
    max_restarts = 3

### Example: Orchestrator Service

    [services.orchestrator]
    name = "orchestrator"
    type = "platform"
    category = "orchestration"
    description = "Rust-based orchestrator for workflow coordination"
    required_for = ["server", "taskserv", "cluster", "workflow", "batch"]

    [services.orchestrator.deployment]
    mode = "binary"

    [services.orchestrator.deployment.binary]
    binary_path = "${HOME}/.provisioning/bin/provisioning-orchestrator"
    args = ["--port", "8080", "--data-dir", "${HOME}/.provisioning/orchestrator/data"]

    [services.orchestrator.health_check]
    type = "http"

    [services.orchestrator.health_check.http]
    endpoint = "http://localhost:9090/health"
    expected_status = 200

    [services.orchestrator.startup]
    auto_start = true
    start_timeout = 30
    start_order = 10

## Platform Commands

Platform commands manage all services as a cohesive system.

### Start Platform

Start all auto-start services or specific services:

    # Start all auto-start services
    provisioning platform start

    # Start specific services (with dependencies)
    provisioning platform start orchestrator control-center

    # Force restart if already running
    provisioning platform start --force orchestrator

Behavior:

1. Resolves dependencies
2. Calculates startup order (topological sort)
3. Starts services in correct order
4. Waits for health checks
5. Reports success/failure

### Stop Platform

Stop all running services or specific services:

    # Stop all running services
    provisioning platform stop

    # Stop specific services
    provisioning platform stop orchestrator control-center

    # Force stop (kill -9)
    provisioning platform stop --force orchestrator

Behavior:

1. Checks for dependent services
2. Stops in reverse dependency order
3. Updates service state
4. Cleans up PID files

### Restart Platform

Restart running services:

    # Restart all running services
    provisioning platform restart

    # Restart specific services
    provisioning platform restart orchestrator

### Platform Status

Show status of all services:

    provisioning platform status

Output:

### Platform Health

Check health of all running services:

    provisioning platform health

Output:

    Platform Health Check

    ✅ orchestrator: Healthy - HTTP health check passed
    ✅ control-center: Healthy - HTTP status 200 matches expected
    ⚪ coredns: Not running
    ✅ mcp-server: Healthy - HTTP health check passed

    Summary: 3 healthy, 0 unhealthy, 4 not running

    auth_token_path = "${HOME}/.provisioning/tokens/orchestrator.token"

## Health Monitoring

### Health Check Types

#### HTTP Health Check

    [services.orchestrator.health_check]
    type = "http"

    [services.orchestrator.health_check.http]
    endpoint = "http://localhost:9090/health"
    expected_status = 200
    method = "GET"

#### TCP Health Check

    [services.coredns.health_check]
    type = "tcp"

    [services.coredns.health_check.tcp]
    host = "localhost"
    port = 5353

#### Command Health Check

    [services.custom.health_check]
    type = "command"

    [services.custom.health_check.command]
    command = "systemctl is-active myservice"
    expected_exit_code = 0

#### File Health Check

    [services.custom.health_check]
    type = "file"

    [services.custom.health_check.file]
    path = "/var/run/myservice.pid"
    must_exist = true

### Health Check Configuration

- `interval`: Seconds between checks (default: 10)
- `retries`: Max retry attempts (default: 3)
- `timeout`: Check timeout in seconds (default: 5)

### Continuous Monitoring

    provisioning services monitor orchestrator --interval 30

Output:

    Starting health monitoring for orchestrator (interval: 30s)
    Press Ctrl+C to stop
    2025-10-06 14:30:00 ✅ orchestrator: HTTP health check passed
    2025-10-06 14:30:30 ✅ orchestrator: HTTP health check passed
    2025-10-06 14:31:00 ✅ orchestrator: HTTP health check passed

## Dependency Management

### Dependency Graph

Services can depend on other services:

    [services.control-center]
    dependencies = ["orchestrator"]

    [services.api-gateway]
    dependencies = ["orchestrator", "control-center", "mcp-server"]

### Startup Order

Services start in topological order:

    orchestrator (order: 10)
      └─> control-center (order: 20)
           └─> api-gateway (order: 45)

### Dependency Resolution

Automatic dependency resolution when starting services:

    # Starting control-center automatically starts orchestrator first
    provisioning services start control-center

Output:

    Starting dependency: orchestrator
    ✅ Started orchestrator with PID 12345
    Waiting for orchestrator to become healthy...
    ✅ Service orchestrator is healthy
    Starting service: control-center
    ✅ Started control-center with PID 12346
    ✅ Service control-center is healthy

### Conflicts

Services can conflict with each other:

    [services.coredns]
    conflicts = ["dnsmasq", "systemd-resolved"]

Attempting to start a conflicting service will fail:

    provisioning services start coredns

Output:

    ❌ Pre-flight check failed: conflicts
    Conflicting services running: dnsmasq

### Reverse Dependencies

Check which services depend on a service:

    provisioning services dependencies orchestrator

Output:

    ## orchestrator
    - Type: platform
    - Category: orchestration
    - Required by:
      - control-center
      - mcp-server
      - api-gateway

### Safe Stop

System prevents stopping services with running dependents:

    provisioning services stop orchestrator

Output:

    ❌ Cannot stop orchestrator:
      Dependent services running: control-center, mcp-server, api-gateway
      Use --force to stop anyway

## Pre-flight Checks

### Purpose

Pre-flight checks ensure services can start successfully before attempting to start them.

### Check Types

1. Prerequisites: Binary exists, Docker running, etc.
2. Conflicts: No conflicting services running
3. Dependencies: All dependencies available

### Automatic Checks

Pre-flight checks run automatically when starting services:

    provisioning services start orchestrator

Check Process:

    Running pre-flight checks for orchestrator...
    ✅ Binary found: /Users/user/.provisioning/bin/provisioning-orchestrator
    ✅ No conflicts detected
    ✅ All dependencies available
    Starting service: orchestrator

### Manual Validation

Validate all services:

    provisioning services validate

Validate specific service:

    provisioning services status orchestrator

### Auto-Start

Services with `auto_start = true` can be started automatically when needed:

    # Orchestrator auto-starts if needed for server operations
    provisioning server create

Output:

    Starting required services...
    ✅ Orchestrator started
    Creating server...

## Troubleshooting

### Service Won’t Start

Check prerequisites:

    provisioning services validate
    provisioning services status <service>

Common issues:

- Binary not found: Check `binary_path` in config
- Docker not running: Start Docker daemon
- Port already in use: Check for conflicting processes
- Dependencies not running: Start dependencies first

### Service Health Check Failing

View health status:

    provisioning services health <service>

Check logs:

    provisioning services logs <service> --follow

Common issues:

- Service not fully initialized: Wait longer or increase `start_timeout`
- Wrong health check endpoint: Verify endpoint in config
- Network issues: Check firewall, port bindings

### Dependency Issues

View dependency tree:

    provisioning services dependencies <service>

Check dependency status:

    provisioning services status <dependency>

Start with dependencies:

    provisioning platform start <service>

### Circular Dependencies

Validate dependency graph:

    # This is done automatically but you can check manually
    nu -c "use lib_provisioning/services/mod.nu *; validate-dependency-graph"

### PID File Stale

If service reports running but isn’t:

    # Manual cleanup
    rm ~/.provisioning/services/pids/<service>.pid

    # Force restart
    provisioning services restart <service>

### Port Conflicts

Find process using port:

    lsof -i :9090

Kill conflicting process:

    kill <PID>

### Docker Issues

Check Docker status:

    docker ps
    docker info

View container logs:

    docker logs provisioning-<service>

Restart Docker daemon:

    # macOS
    killall Docker && open /Applications/Docker.app

    # Linux
    systemctl restart docker

### Service Logs

View recent logs:

    tail -f ~/.provisioning/services/logs/<service>.log

Search logs:

    grep "ERROR" ~/.provisioning/services/logs/<service>.log

## Advanced Usage

### Custom Service Registration

Add custom services by editing `provisioning/config/services.toml`.

### Integration with Workflows

Services automatically start when required by workflows:

    # Orchestrator starts automatically if not running
    provisioning workflow submit my-workflow

### CI/CD Integration

    # GitLab CI
    before_script:
      - provisioning platform start orchestrator
      - provisioning services health orchestrator

    test:
      script:
        - provisioning test quick kubernetes

### Monitoring Integration

Services can integrate with monitoring systems via health endpoints.

              severity: warning
              service: '{{ $labels.job }}'
            annotations:
              summary: "{{ $labels.job }} high error rate"
              description: "Error rate above 5% for 5 minutes"

          - alert: DatabaseConnectionError

    histogram_quantile(0.95, rate(http_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))
    histogram_quantile(0.99, rate(http_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))

    # Memory usage per service
    container_memory_usage_bytes / 1024 / 1024 / 1024

    # CPU usage per service
    rate(container_cpu_usage_seconds_total[5m]) * 100

    # Disk I/O operations
    rate(node_disk_io_time_seconds_total[5m])

            "summary": "This is a test alert",
            "description": "Test alert to verify notification routing"
          }
        }
      ]'

### 2. Stop Service to Trigger Alert

    # Stop a service to trigger ServiceDown alert
    pkill -9 vault-service

    # Within 5 minutes, alert should fire
    # Check AlertManager UI: http://localhost:9093

    # Restart service
    cargo run --release -p vault-service &

    # Alert should resolve after service is back up

### 3. Generate Load to Test Error Alerts

    # Generate request load
    ab -n 10000 -c 100 http://localhost:9090/api/v1/health

    # Monitor error rate in Prometheus
    curl -s 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=rate(http_requests_total{status=~"5.."}[5m])' | jq .

## Backup & Retention Policies

### 1. Prometheus Data Backup

    #!/bin/bash
    # scripts/backup-prometheus-data.sh

    BACKUP_DIR="/backups/prometheus"
    RETENTION_DAYS=30

    # Create snapshot
    curl -X POST http://localhost:9090/api/v1/admin/tsdb/snapshot

    # Backup snapshot
    SNAPSHOT=$(ls -t /var/lib/prometheus/snapshots | head -1)
    tar -czf "$BACKUP_DIR/prometheus-$SNAPSHOT.tar.gz" \
      "/var/lib/prometheus/snapshots/$SNAPSHOT"

    # Upload to S3
    aws s3 cp "$BACKUP_DIR/prometheus-$SNAPSHOT.tar.gz" \
      s3://backups/prometheus/

    # Clean old backups
    find "$BACKUP_DIR" -mtime +$RETENTION_DAYS -delete

### 2. Prometheus Retention Configuration

    # Keep metrics for 15 days
    /opt/prometheus/prometheus \
      --storage.tsdb.retention.time=15d \
      --storage.tsdb.retention.size=50 GB

## Maintenance & Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Prometheus Won’t Scrape Service

    # Check configuration
    /opt/prometheus/promtool check config /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml

    # Verify service is accessible
    curl http://localhost:8200/metrics

    # Check Prometheus targets
    curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/targets | jq '.data.activeTargets[] | select(.job=="vault-service")'

    # Check scrape error
    curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/targets | jq '.data.activeTargets[] | .lastError'

#### AlertManager Not Sending Notifications

    # Verify AlertManager config
    /opt/alertmanager/amtool config routes

    # Test webhook
    curl -X POST http://localhost:3012/ -d '{"test": "alert"}'

    # Check AlertManager logs
    journalctl -u alertmanager -n 100 -f

    # Verify notification channels configured
    curl -s http://localhost:9093/api/v1/receivers

#### High Memory Usage

    # Reduce Prometheus retention
    prometheus --storage.tsdb.retention.time=7d --storage.tsdb.max-block-duration=2h

    # Disable unused scrape jobs
    # Edit prometheus.yml and remove unused jobs

    # Monitor memory
    ps aux | grep prometheus | grep -v grep

## Documentation & Runbooks

### Sample Runbook: Service Down

    # Service Down Alert

    ## Detection
    Alert fires when service is unreachable for 5+ minutes

    ## Immediate Actions
    1. Check service is running: pgrep -f service-name
    2. Check service port: ss -tlnp | grep 8200
    3. Check service logs: tail -100 /var/log/provisioning/service.log

    ## Diagnosis
    1. Service crashed: look for panic/error in logs
    2. Port conflict: lsof -i :8200
    3. Configuration issue: validate config file
    4. Dependency down: check database/cache connectivity

    ## Remediation
    1. Restart service: pkill service && cargo run --release -p service &
    2. Check health: curl http://localhost:8200/health
    3. Verify dependencies: curl http://localhost:5432/health

    ## Escalation
    If service doesn't recover after restart, escalate to on-call engineer

## Integration

### Automatic Server Registration

When dynamic DNS is enabled, servers are automatically registered:

    # Create server (automatically registers in DNS)
    provisioning server create web-01 --infra myapp

    # Server gets DNS record: web-01.provisioning.local -> <server-ip>

### Manual Registration

    use lib_provisioning/coredns/integration.nu *

    # Register server
    register-server-in-dns "web-01" "10.0.1.10"

    # Unregister server
    unregister-server-from-dns "web-01"

    # Bulk register
    bulk-register-servers [
        {hostname: "web-01", ip: "10.0.1.10"}
        {hostname: "web-02", ip: "10.0.1.11"}
        {hostname: "db-01", ip: "10.0.2.10"}
    ]

### Sync Infrastructure with DNS

    # Sync all servers in infrastructure with DNS
    provisioning dns sync myapp

    # Check mode
    provisioning dns sync myapp --check

### Service Registration

    use lib_provisioning/coredns/integration.nu *

    # Register service
    register-service-in-dns "api" "10.0.1.10"

    # Unregister service
    unregister-service-from-dns "api"

## Query DNS

### Using CLI

    # Query A record
    provisioning dns query server-01

    # Query specific type
    provisioning dns query server-01 --type AAAA

    # Query different server
    provisioning dns query server-01 --server 8.8.8.8 --port 53

    # Query from local CoreDNS
    provisioning dns query server-01 --server 127.0.0.1 --port 5353

### Using dig

    # Query from local CoreDNS
    dig @127.0.0.1 -p 5353 server-01.provisioning.local

    # Query CNAME
    dig @127.0.0.1 -p 5353 web.provisioning.local CNAME

    # Query MX
    dig @127.0.0.1 -p 5353 example.com MX

## Troubleshooting

### CoreDNS Not Starting

Symptoms: `dns start` fails or service doesn’t respond

Solutions:

1. Check if port is in use:

       lsof -i :5353
       netstat -an | grep 5353

2. Validate Corefile:

       provisioning dns config validate

3. Check logs:

       provisioning dns logs
       tail -f ~/.provisioning/coredns/coredns.log

4. Verify binary exists:

       ls -lh ~/.provisioning/bin/coredns
       provisioning dns install

### DNS Queries Not Working

Symptoms: `dig` returns SERVFAIL or timeout

Solutions:

1. Check CoreDNS is running:

       provisioning dns status
       provisioning dns health

2. Verify zone file exists:

       ls -lh ~/.provisioning/coredns/zones/
       cat ~/.provisioning/coredns/zones/provisioning.local.zone

3. Test with dig:

       dig @127.0.0.1 -p 5353 provisioning.local SOA

4. Check firewall:

       # macOS
       sudo pfctl -sr | grep 5353

       # Linux
       sudo iptables -L -n | grep 5353

### Zone File Validation Errors

Symptoms: `dns config validate` shows errors

Solutions:

1. Backup zone file:

       cp ~/.provisioning/coredns/zones/provisioning.local.zone \
          ~/.provisioning/coredns/zones/provisioning.local.zone.backup

2. Regenerate zone:

       provisioning dns zone create provisioning.local --force

3. Check syntax manually:

       cat ~/.provisioning/coredns/zones/provisioning.local.zone

4. Increment serial:

   - Edit zone file manually
   - Increase serial number in SOA record

### Docker Container Issues

Symptoms: Docker container won’t start or crashes

Solutions:

1. Check Docker logs:

       provisioning dns docker logs
       docker logs provisioning-coredns

2. Verify volumes exist:

       ls -lh ~/.provisioning/coredns/

3. Check container status:

       provisioning dns docker status
       docker ps -a | grep coredns

4. Recreate container:

       provisioning dns docker stop
       provisioning dns docker remove --volumes
       provisioning dns docker start

### Dynamic Updates Not Working

Symptoms: Servers not auto-registered in DNS

Solutions:

1. Check if enabled:

       provisioning dns config show | grep -A 5 dynamic_updates

2. Verify orchestrator running:

       curl http://localhost:9090/health

3. Check logs for errors:

       provisioning dns logs | grep -i error

4. Test manual registration:

       use lib_provisioning/coredns/integration.nu *
       register-server-in-dns "test-server" "10.0.0.1"

## Advanced Topics

### Custom Corefile Plugins

Add custom plugins to Corefile:

    use lib_provisioning/coredns/corefile.nu *

    # Add plugin to zone
    add-corefile-plugin \
        "~/.provisioning/coredns/Corefile" \
        "provisioning.local" \
        "cache 30"

### Backup and Restore

    # Backup configuration
    tar czf coredns-backup.tar.gz ~/.provisioning/coredns/

    # Restore configuration
    tar xzf coredns-backup.tar.gz -C ~/

### Zone File Backup

    use lib_provisioning/coredns/zones.nu *

    # Backup zone
    backup-zone-file "provisioning.local"

    # Creates: ~/.provisioning/coredns/zones/provisioning.local.zone.YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.bak

### Metrics and Monitoring

CoreDNS exposes Prometheus metrics on port 9153:

    # View metrics
    curl http://localhost:9153/metrics

    # Common metrics:
    # - coredns_dns_request_duration_seconds
    # - coredns_dns_requests_total
    # - coredns_dns_responses_total

### Multi-Zone Setup

    coredns_config: CoreDNSConfig = {
        local = {
            zones = [
                "provisioning.local",
                "workspace.local",
                "dev.local",
                "staging.local",
                "prod.local"
            ]
        }
    }

### Split-Horizon DNS

Configure different zones for internal/external:

    coredns_config: CoreDNSConfig = {
        local = {
            zones = ["internal.local"]
            port = 5353
        }
        remote = {
            zones = ["external.com"]
            endpoints = ["https://dns.external.com"]
        }
    }

    provisioning dns docker start

    # 2. Check status
    provisioning dns docker status

    # 3. View logs
    provisioning dns docker logs --follow

    # 4. Add records (container must be running)
    provisioning dns record add server-01 A 10.0.1.10

    # 5. Query
    dig @127.0.0.1 -p 5353 server-01.provisioning.local

    # 6. Stop
    provisioning dns docker stop

## Best Practices

1. Use TTL wisely - Lower TTL (300s) for frequently changing records, higher (3600s) for stable
2. Enable logging - Essential for troubleshooting
3. Regular backups - Backup zone files before major changes
4. Validate before reload - Always run `dns config validate` before reloading
5. Monitor metrics - Track DNS query rates and error rates
6. Use comments - Add comments to records for documentation
7. Separate zones - Use different zones for different environments (dev, staging, prod)

# Break-Glass Emergency Access - Training Guide

Version: 1.0.0 Date: 2025-10-08 Audience: Platform Administrators, SREs, Security Team Training Duration: 45-60 minutes Certification: Required annually

## 🚨 What is Break-Glass

Break-glass is an emergency access procedure that allows authorized personnel to bypass normal security controls during critical incidents (for example, production outages, security breaches, data loss).

### Key Principles

1. Last Resort Only: Use only when normal access is insufficient
2. Multi-Party Approval: Requires 2+ approvers from different teams
3. Time-Limited: Maximum 4 hours, auto-revokes
4. Enhanced Audit: 7-year retention, immutable logs
5. Real-Time Alerts: Security team notified immediately

## 📋 Table of Contents

1. When to Use Break-Glass
2. When NOT to Use
3. Roles & Responsibilities
4. Break-Glass Workflow
5. Using the System
6. Examples
7. Auditing & Compliance
8. Post-Incident Review
9. FAQ
10. Emergency Contacts

## When to Use Break-Glass

### ✅ Valid Emergency Scenarios

Scenario | Example | Urgency
--- | --- | ---
Production Outage | Database cluster unresponsive, affecting all users | Critical
Security Incident | Active breach detected, need immediate containment | Critical
Data Loss | Accidental deletion of critical data, need restore | High
System Failure | Infrastructure failure requiring emergency fixes | High
Locked Out | Normal admin accounts compromised, need recovery | High

### Criteria Checklist

Use break-glass if ALL apply:

- Production systems affected OR security incident
- Normal access insufficient OR unavailable
- Immediate action required (cannot wait for approval process)
- Clear justification for emergency access
- Incident properly documented

## When NOT to Use

### ❌ Invalid Scenarios (Do NOT Use Break-Glass)

Scenario | Why Not | Alternative
--- | --- | ---
Forgot password | Not an emergency | Use password reset
Routine maintenance | Can be scheduled | Use normal change process
Convenience | Normal process “too slow” | Follow standard approval
Deadline pressure | Business pressure ≠ emergency | Plan ahead
Testing | Want to test emergency access | Use dev environment

### Consequences of Misuse

- Immediate suspension of break-glass privileges
- Security team investigation
- Disciplinary action (up to termination)
- All actions audited and reviewed

## Roles & Responsibilities

### Requester

Who: Platform Admin, SRE on-call, Security Officer Responsibilities:

- Assess if situation warrants emergency access
- Provide clear justification and reason
- Document incident timeline
- Use access only for stated purpose
- Revoke access immediately after resolution

### Approvers

Who: 2+ from different teams (Security, Platform, Engineering Leadership) Responsibilities:

- Verify emergency is genuine
- Assess risk of granting access
- Review requester’s justification
- Monitor usage during active session
- Participate in post-incident review

### Security Team

Who: Security Operations team Responsibilities:

- Monitor all break-glass activations (real-time)

## Examples

### Example 1: Production Database Outage

Scenario: PostgreSQL cluster unresponsive, affecting all users

Request:

    provisioning break-glass request \
      "Production PostgreSQL cluster completely unresponsive" \
      --justification "Database cluster (3 nodes) not responding. \
      All services offline, 10,000+ users affected. Need SSH to diagnose. \
      Monitoring shows all nodes down. Last state: replication failure during backup." \
      --resources '["database/*", "server/db-prod-*"]' \
      --duration 2hr

Approval 1 (Security):

> “Verified incident INC-2025-234. Database monitoring confirms cluster down. Application completely offline. Emergency justified.”

Approval 2 (Platform):

> “Confirmed. PostgreSQL master and replicas unreachable. On-call SRE needs immediate access. Approved.”

Actions Taken:

1. SSH to db-prod-01, db-prod-02, db-prod-03
2. Check PostgreSQL status: `systemctl status postgresql`
3. Review logs: `/var/log/postgresql/`
4. Diagnose: Disk full on master node
5. Fix: Clear old WAL files, restart PostgreSQL
6. Verify: Cluster restored, replication working
7. Revoke access

Outcome: Cluster restored in 47 minutes. Root cause: Backup retention not working.

### Example 2: Security Incident

Scenario: Suspicious activity detected, need immediate containment

Request:

    provisioning break-glass request \
      "Active security breach detected - need immediate containment" \
      --justification "IDS alerts show unauthorized access from IP 203.0.113.42 to API. \
      Multiple failed sudo attempts. Isolate affected servers and investigate. \
      Potential data exfiltration in progress." \
      --resources '["server/api-prod-*", "firewall/*", "network/*"]' \
      --duration 4hr

Approval 1 (Security):

> “Security incident SI-2025-089 confirmed. IDS shows sustained attack from external IP. Immediate containment required. Approved.”

Approval 2 (Engineering Director):

> “Concur with security assessment. Production impact acceptable vs risk of data breach. Approved.”

Actions Taken:

1. Firewall block on 203.0.113.42
2. Isolate affected API servers
3. Snapshot servers for forensics
4. Review access logs
5. Identify compromised service account
6. Rotate credentials
7. Restore from clean backup
8. Re-enable servers with patched vulnerability

Outcome: Breach contained in 3h 15 min. No data loss. Vulnerability patched across fleet.

### Example 3: Accidental Data Deletion

Scenario: Critical production data accidentally deleted

Request:

    provisioning break-glass request \
      "Critical customer data accidentally deleted from production" \
      --justification "Database migration script ran against production instead of staging. \
      50,000+ customer records deleted. Need immediate restore from backup. \
      Normal restore requires 4-6 hours for approval. Time-critical window." \
      --resources '["database/customers", "backup/*"]' \
      --duration 3hr

Approval 1 (Platform):

> “Verified data deletion in production database. 50,284 records deleted at 10:42am. Backup available from 10:00am (42 minutes ago). Time-critical restore needed. Approved.”

Approval 2 (Security):

> “Risk assessment: Restore from trusted backup less risky than data loss. Emergency justified. Ensure post-incident review of deployment process. Approved.”

Actions Taken:

1. Stop application writes to affected tables
2. Identify latest good backup (10:00am)
3. Restore deleted records from backup
4. Verify data integrity
5. Compare record counts
6. Re-enable application writes
7. Notify affected users (if any noticed)

Outcome: Data restored in 1h 38 min. Only 42 minutes of data lost (from backup to deletion). Zero customer impact.

## Auditing & Compliance

### Compliance Reports

    # Generate break-glass usage report
    provisioning break-glass audit \
      --from "2025-01-01" \
      --to "2025-12-31" \
      --format pdf \
      --output break-glass-2025-report.pdf

    # Report includes:
    # - Total break-glass activations
    # - Average duration
    # - Most common reasons
    # - Approval times
    # - Incidents resolved
    # - Misuse incidents (if any)

## Post-Incident Review

### Within 24 Hours

Required attendees:

- Requester
- Approvers
- Security team
- Incident commander

Agenda:

1. Timeline Review: What happened, when
2. Actions Taken: What was done with emergency access
3. Outcome: Was issue resolved? Any side effects?

### Output

Incident Report:

    # Break-Glass Incident Report: BG-20251008-001

    **Incident**: Production database cluster outage
    **Duration**: 47 minutes
    **Impact**: 10,000+ users, complete service outage

    ## Timeline
    - 10:15: Incident detected
    - 10:17: Break-glass requested
    - 10:25: Approved (2/2)
    - 10:27: Activated
    - 11:02: Database restored
    - 11:04: Session revoked

    ## Actions Taken
    1. SSH access to database servers
    2. Diagnosed disk full issue
    3. Cleared old WAL files
    4. Restarted PostgreSQL

    Backup retention job failed silently for 2 weeks, causing WAL files to accumulate until disk full.

    ## Prevention
    - ✅ Add disk space monitoring alerts
    - ✅ Fix backup retention job
    - ✅ Test recovery procedures
    - ✅ Implement WAL archiving to S3

    ## Break-Glass Assessment
    - ✓ Appropriate use
    - ✓ Timely approvals
    - ✓ No policy violations
    - ✓ Access revoked promptly

## FAQ

### Q: How quickly can break-glass be activated

A: Typically 15-20 minutes:

- 5 min: Request submission
- 10 min: Approvals (2 people)
- 2 min: Activation

In extreme emergencies, approvers can be on standby.

### Q: Can I use break-glass for scheduled maintenance

A: No. Break-glass is for emergencies only. Schedule maintenance through normal change process.

### Q: What if I can’t get 2 approvers

A: System requires 2 approvers from different teams. If unavailable:

1. Escalate to on-call manager
2. Contact security team directly
3. Use emergency contact list

### Q: Can approvers be from the same team

A: No. System enforces team diversity to prevent collusion.

### Q: What if security team revokes my session

A: Security team can revoke for:

- Suspicious activity
- Policy violation
- Incident resolved
- Misuse detected

You’ll receive immediate notification. Contact security team for details.

### Q: Can I extend an active session

A: No. Maximum duration is 4 hours. If you need more time, submit a new request with updated justification.

### Q: What happens if I forget to revoke

A: Session auto-revokes after:

- Maximum duration (4 hours), OR
- Inactivity timeout (30 minutes)

Always manually revoke when done.

### Q: Is break-glass monitored

A: Yes. Security team monitors in real-time:

- Session activation alerts
- Action logging
- Suspicious activity detection
- Compliance verification

### Q: Can I practice break-glass

A: Yes, in development environment only:

    PROVISIONING_ENV=dev provisioning break-glass request "Test emergency access procedure"

Never practice in staging or production.

## Introduction

Cedar policies control who can do what in the Provisioning platform. This guide helps you create, test, and deploy production-ready Cedar policies that balance security with operational efficiency.

### Why Cedar

- Fine-grained: Control access at resource + action level
- Context-aware: Decisions based on MFA, IP, time, approvals
- Auditable: Every decision is logged with policy ID
- Hot-reload: Update policies without restarting services
- Type-safe: Schema validation prevents errors

## Cedar Policy Basics

### Core Concepts

    permit (
      principal,    # Who (user, team, role)
      action,       # What (create, delete, deploy)
      resource      # Where (server, cluster, environment)
    ) when {
      condition     # Context (MFA, IP, time)
    };

### Entities

Type | Examples | Description
--- | --- | ---
User | `User::"alice"` | Individual users
Team | `Team::"platform-admin"` | User groups
Role | `Role::"Admin"` | Permission levels
Resource | `Server::"web-01"` | Infrastructure resources
Environment | `Environment::"production"` | Deployment targets

### Actions

Category | Actions
--- | ---
Read | `read`, `list`
Write | `create`, `update`, `delete`
Deploy | `deploy`, `rollback`
Admin | `ssh`, `execute`, `admin`

## Production Policy Strategy

### Security Levels

#### Level 1: Development (Permissive)

    // Developers have full access to dev environment
    permit (
      principal in Team::"developers",
      action,
      resource in Environment::"development"
    );

#### Level 2: Staging (MFA Required)

    // All operations require MFA
    permit (
      principal in Team::"developers",
      action,
      resource in Environment::"staging"
    ) when {
      context.mfa_verified == true
    };

#### Level 3: Production (MFA + Approval)

    // Deployments require MFA + approval
    permit (
      principal in Team::"platform-admin",
      action in [Action::"deploy", Action::"delete"],
      resource in Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      context.mfa_verified == true &&
      context has approval_id &&
      context.approval_id.startsWith("APPROVAL-")
    };

#### Level 4: Critical (Break-Glass Only)

    // Only emergency access
    permit (
      principal,
      action,
      resource in Resource::"production-database"
    ) when {
      context.emergency_access == true &&
      context.session_approved == true
    };

## Policy Templates

### 1. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

    // Admin: Full access
    permit (
      principal in Role::"Admin",
      action,
      resource
    );

    // Operator: Server management + read clusters
    permit (
      principal in Role::"Operator",
      action in [
        Action::"create",
        Action::"update",
        Action::"delete"
      ],
      resource is Server
    );

    permit (
      principal in Role::"Operator",
      action in [Action::"read", Action::"list"],
      resource is Cluster
    );

    // Viewer: Read-only everywhere
    permit (
      principal in Role::"Viewer",
      action in [Action::"read", Action::"list"],
      resource
    );

    // Auditor: Read audit logs only
    permit (
      principal in Role::"Auditor",
      action in [Action::"read", Action::"list"],
      resource is AuditLog
    );

### 2. Team-Based Policies

    // Platform team: Infrastructure management
    permit (
      principal in Team::"platform",
      action in [
        Action::"create",
        Action::"update",
        Action::"delete",
        Action::"deploy"
      ],
      resource in [Server, Cluster, Taskserv]
    );

    // Security team: Access control + audit
    permit (
      principal in Team::"security",
      action,
      resource in [User, Role, AuditLog, BreakGlass]
    );

    // DevOps team: Application deployments
    permit (
      principal in Team::"devops",
      action == Action::"deploy",
      resource in Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      context.mfa_verified == true &&
      context.has_approval == true
    };

### 3. Time-Based Restrictions

    // Deployments only during business hours
    permit (
      principal,
      action == Action::"deploy",
      resource in Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      context.time.hour >= 9 &&
      context.time.hour <= 17 &&
      context.time.weekday in ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday"]
    };

    // Maintenance window
    permit (
      principal in Team::"platform",
      action,
      resource
    ) when {
      context.maintenance_window == true
    };

### 4. IP-Based Restrictions

    // Production access only from office network
    permit (
      principal,
      action,
      resource in Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      context.ip_address.isInRange("10.0.0.0/8") ||
      context.ip_address.isInRange("192.168.1.0/24")
    };

    // VPN access for remote work
    permit (
      principal,
      action,
      resource in Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      context.vpn_connected == true &&
      context.mfa_verified == true
    };

### 5. Resource-Specific Policies

    // Database servers: Extra protection
    forbid (
      principal,
      action == Action::"delete",
      resource in Resource::"database-*"
    ) unless {
      context.emergency_access == true
    };

    // Critical clusters: Require multiple approvals
    permit (
      principal,
      action in [Action::"update", Action::"delete"],
      resource in Resource::"k8s-production-*"
    ) when {
      context.approval_count >= 2 &&
      context.mfa_verified == true
    };

### 6. Self-Service Policies

    // Users can manage their own MFA devices
    permit (
      principal,
      action in [Action::"create", Action::"delete"],
      resource is MfaDevice
    ) when {
      resource.owner == principal
    };

    // Users can view their own audit logs
    permit (
      principal,
      action == Action::"read",
      resource is AuditLog
    ) when {
      resource.user_id == principal.id
    };

## Policy Development Workflow

### Step 1: Define Requirements

Document:

- Who needs access? (roles, teams, individuals)
- To what resources? (servers, clusters, environments)
- What actions? (read, write, deploy, delete)
- Under what conditions? (MFA, IP, time, approvals)

Example Requirements Document:

    # Requirement: Production Deployment

    **Who**: DevOps team members
    **What**: Deploy applications to production
    **When**: Business hours (9am-5pm Mon-Fri)
    **Conditions**:
    - MFA verified
    - Change request approved
    - From office network or VPN

### Step 2: Write Policy

    @id("prod-deploy-devops")
    @description("DevOps can deploy to production during business hours with approval")
    permit (
      principal in Team::"devops",
      action == Action::"deploy",
      resource in Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      context.mfa_verified == true &&
      context has approval_id &&
      context.time.hour >= 9 &&
      context.time.hour <= 17 &&
      context.time.weekday in ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday"] &&
      (context.ip_address.isInRange("10.0.0.0/8") || context.vpn_connected == true)
    };

### Step 3: Validate Syntax

    # Use Cedar CLI to validate
    cedar validate \
      --policies provisioning/config/cedar-policies/production.cedar \
      --schema provisioning/config/cedar-policies/schema.cedar

    # Expected output: ✓ Policy is valid

### Step 4: Test in Development

    # Deploy to development environment first
    cp production.cedar provisioning/config/cedar-policies/development.cedar

    # Restart orchestrator to load new policies
    systemctl restart provisioning-orchestrator

    # Test with real requests
    provisioning server create test-server --check

### Step 5: Review & Approve

Review Checklist:

- Policy syntax valid
- Policy ID unique
- Description clear
- Conditions appropriate for security level
- Tested in development
- Reviewed by security team
- Documented in change log

### Step 6: Deploy to Production

    # Backup current policies
    cp provisioning/config/cedar-policies/production.cedar \
       provisioning/config/cedar-policies/production.cedar.backup.$(date +%Y%m%d)

    # Deploy new policy
    cp new-production.cedar provisioning/config/cedar-policies/production.cedar

    # Hot reload (no restart needed)
    provisioning cedar reload

    # Verify loaded
    provisioning cedar list

## Testing Policies

### Unit Testing

Create test cases for each policy:

    # tests/cedar/prod-deploy-devops.yaml
    policy_id: prod-deploy-devops

    test_cases:
      - name: "DevOps can deploy with approval and MFA"
        principal: { type: "Team", id: "devops" }
        action: "deploy"
        resource: { type: "Environment", id: "production" }
        context:
          mfa_verified: true
          approval_id: "APPROVAL-123"
          time: { hour: 10, weekday: "Monday" }
          ip_address: "10.0.1.5"
        expected: Allow

      - name: "DevOps cannot deploy without MFA"
        principal: { type: "Team", id: "devops" }
        action: "deploy"
        resource: { type: "Environment", id: "production" }
        context:
          mfa_verified: false
          approval_id: "APPROVAL-123"
          time: { hour: 10, weekday: "Monday" }
        expected: Deny

      - name: "DevOps cannot deploy outside business hours"
        principal: { type: "Team", id: "devops" }
        action: "deploy"
        resource: { type: "Environment", id: "production" }
        context:
          mfa_verified: true
          approval_id: "APPROVAL-123"
          time: { hour: 22, weekday: "Monday" }
        expected: Deny

Run tests:

    provisioning cedar test tests/cedar/

### Integration Testing

Test with real API calls:

    # Setup test user
    export TEST_USER="alice"
    export TEST_TOKEN=$(provisioning login --user $TEST_USER --output token)

    # Test allowed action
    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TEST_TOKEN" \
      http://localhost:9090/api/v1/servers \
      -X POST -d '{"name": "test-server"}'

    # Expected: 200 OK

    # Test denied action (without MFA)
    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TEST_TOKEN" \
      http://localhost:9090/api/v1/servers/prod-server-01 \
      -X DELETE

    # Expected: 403 Forbidden (MFA required)

### Load Testing

Verify policy evaluation performance:

    # Generate load
    provisioning cedar bench \
      --policies production.cedar \
      --requests 10000 \
      --concurrency 100

    # Expected: <10 ms per evaluation

## Deployment

### Development → Staging → Production

    #!/bin/bash
    # deploy-policies.sh

    ENVIRONMENT=$1  # dev, staging, prod

    # Validate policies
    cedar validate \
      --policies provisioning/config/cedar-policies/$ENVIRONMENT.cedar \
      --schema provisioning/config/cedar-policies/schema.cedar

    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
      echo "❌ Policy validation failed"
      exit 1
    fi

    # Backup current policies
    BACKUP_DIR="provisioning/config/cedar-policies/backups/$ENVIRONMENT"
    mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR
    cp provisioning/config/cedar-policies/$ENVIRONMENT.cedar \
       $BACKUP_DIR/$ENVIRONMENT.cedar.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)

    # Deploy new policies
    scp provisioning/config/cedar-policies/$ENVIRONMENT.cedar \
        $ENVIRONMENT-orchestrator:/etc/provisioning/cedar-policies/production.cedar

    # Hot reload on remote
    ssh $ENVIRONMENT-orchestrator "provisioning cedar reload"

    echo "✅ Policies deployed to $ENVIRONMENT"

### Rollback Procedure

    # List backups
    ls -ltr provisioning/config/cedar-policies/backups/production/

    # Restore previous version
    cp provisioning/config/cedar-policies/backups/production/production.cedar.20251008-143000 \
       provisioning/config/cedar-policies/production.cedar

    # Reload
    provisioning cedar reload

    # Verify
    provisioning cedar list

## Monitoring & Auditing

    # Query denied requests (last 24 hours)
    provisioning audit query \
      --action authorization_denied \
      --from "24h" \
      --out table

    # Expected output:
    # ┌─────────┬────────┬──────────┬────────┬────────────────┐
    # │ Time    │ User   │ Action   │ Resour │ Reason         │
    # ├─────────┼────────┼──────────┼────────┼────────────────┤

### Policy Usage Statistics

    # Which policies are most used?
    provisioning cedar stats --top 10

    # Example output:
    # Policy ID              | Uses  | Allows | Denies
    # ---------------------- | ------- | -------- | -------
    # prod-deploy-devops    | 1,234 | 1,100  | 134
    # admin-full-access     |   892 |   892  | 0
    # viewer-read-only      | 5,421 | 5,421  | 0

## Troubleshooting

### Policy Not Applying

Symptom: Policy changes not taking effect

Solutions:

1. Verify hot reload:

       provisioning cedar reload
       provisioning cedar list  # Should show updated timestamp

2. Check orchestrator logs:

       journalctl -u provisioning-orchestrator -f | grep cedar

3. Restart orchestrator:

       systemctl restart provisioning-orchestrator

### Unexpected Denials

Symptom: User denied access when policy should allow

Debug:

    # Enable debug mode
    export PROVISIONING_DEBUG=1

    # View authorization decision
    provisioning audit query \
      --user alice \
      --action deploy \
      --from "1h" \
      --out json | jq '.authorization'

    # Shows which policy evaluated, context used, reason for denial

### Policy Conflicts

Symptom: Multiple policies match, unclear which applies

Resolution:

- Cedar uses deny-override: If any `forbid` matches, request denied
- Use `@priority` annotations (higher number = higher priority)
- Make policies more specific to avoid conflicts

    @priority(100)
    permit (
      principal in Role::"Admin",
      action,
      resource
    );

    @priority(50)
    forbid (
      principal,
      action == Action::"delete",
      resource is Database
    );

    // Admin can do anything EXCEPT delete databases

## Best Practices

### 1. Start Restrictive, Loosen Gradually

    // ❌ BAD: Too permissive initially
    permit (principal, action, resource);

    // ✅ GOOD: Explicit allow, expand as needed
    permit (
      principal in Role::"Admin",
      action in [Action::"read", Action::"list"],
      resource
    );

### 2. Use Annotations

    @id("prod-deploy-mfa")
    @description("Production deployments require MFA verification")
    @owner("platform-team")
    @reviewed("2025-10-08")
    @expires("2026-10-08")
    permit (
      principal in Team::"platform-admin",
      action == Action::"deploy",
      resource in Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      context.mfa_verified == true
    };

### 3. Principle of Least Privilege

Give users minimum permissions needed:

    // ❌ BAD: Overly broad
    permit (principal in Team::"developers", action, resource);

    // ✅ GOOD: Specific permissions
    permit (
      principal in Team::"developers",
      action in [Action::"read", Action::"create", Action::"update"],
      resource in Environment::"development"
    );

### 4. Document Context Requirements

    // Context required for this policy:
    // - mfa_verified: boolean (from JWT claims)
    // - approval_id: string (from request header)
    // - ip_address: IpAddr (from connection)
    permit (
      principal in Role::"Operator",
      action == Action::"deploy",
      resource in Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      context.mfa_verified == true &&
      context has approval_id &&
      context.ip_address.isInRange("10.0.0.0/8")
    };

### 5. Separate Policies by Concern

File organization:

    cedar-policies/
    ├── schema.cedar              # Entity/action definitions
    ├── rbac.cedar                # Role-based policies
    ├── teams.cedar               # Team-based policies
    ├── time-restrictions.cedar   # Time-based policies
    ├── ip-restrictions.cedar     # Network-based policies
    ├── production.cedar          # Production-specific
    └── development.cedar         # Development-specific

### 6. Version Control

    # Git commit each policy change
    git add provisioning/config/cedar-policies/production.cedar
    git commit -m "feat(cedar): Add MFA requirement for prod deployments

    - Require MFA for all production deployments
    - Applies to devops and platform-admin teams
    - Effective 2025-10-08

    Policy ID: prod-deploy-mfa
    Reviewed by: security-team
    Ticket: SEC-1234"

    git push

### 7. Regular Policy Audits

Quarterly review:

- Remove unused policies
- Tighten overly permissive policies
- Update for new resources/actions
- Verify team memberships current
- Test break-glass procedures

## Quick Reference

### Common Policy Patterns

    # Allow all
    permit (principal, action, resource);

    # Deny all
    forbid (principal, action, resource);

    # Role-based
    permit (principal in Role::"Admin", action, resource);

    # Team-based
    permit (principal in Team::"platform", action, resource);

    # Resource-based
    permit (principal, action, resource in Environment::"production");

    # Action-based
    permit (principal, action in [Action::"read", Action::"list"], resource);

    # Condition-based
    permit (principal, action, resource) when { context.mfa_verified == true };

    # Complex
    permit (
      principal in Team::"devops",
      action == Action::"deploy",
      resource in Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      context.mfa_verified == true &&
      context has approval_id &&
      context.time.hour >= 9 &&
      context.time.hour <= 17
    };

# MFA Admin Setup Guide - Production Operations Manual

Document Version: 1.0.0 Last Updated: 2025-10-08 Target Audience: Platform Administrators, Security Team Prerequisites: Control Center deployed, admin user created

## Overview

### What is MFA

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds a second layer of security beyond passwords. Admins must provide:

1. Something they know: Password
2. Something they have: TOTP code (authenticator app) or WebAuthn device (YubiKey, Touch ID)

### Why MFA for Admins

Administrators have elevated privileges including:

- Server creation/deletion
- Production deployments
- Secret management
- User management
- Break-glass approval

MFA protects against:

- Password compromise (phishing, leaks, brute force)
- Unauthorized access to critical systems
- Compliance violations (SOC2, ISO 27001)

### MFA Methods Supported

Method | Type | Examples | Recommended For
--- | --- | --- | ---
TOTP | Software | Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password | All admins (primary)
WebAuthn/FIDO2 | Hardware | YubiKey, Touch ID, Windows Hello | High-security admins
Backup Codes | One-time | 10 single-use codes | Emergency recovery

## MFA Requirements

### Mandatory MFA Enforcement

All administrators MUST enable MFA for:

- Production environment access
- Server creation/deletion operations
- Deployment to production clusters
- Secret access (KMS, dynamic secrets)
- Break-glass approval
- User management operations

### Grace Period

- Development: MFA optional (not recommended)
- Staging: MFA recommended, not enforced
- Production: MFA mandatory (enforced by Cedar policies)

### Timeline for Rollout

    Week 1-2: Pilot Program
      ├─ Platform admins enable MFA
      ├─ Document issues and refine process
      └─ Create training materials

    Week 3-4: Full Deployment
      ├─ All admins enable MFA
      ├─ Cedar policies enforce MFA for production
      └─ Monitor compliance

    Week 5+: Maintenance
      ├─ Regular MFA device audits
      ├─ Backup code rotation
      └─ User support for MFA issues

## Admin Enrollment Process

### Step 1: Initial Login (Password Only)

    # Login with username/password
    provisioning login --user admin@example.com --workspace production

    # Response (partial token, MFA not yet verified):
    {
      "status": "mfa_required",
      "partial_token": "eyJhbGci...",  # Limited access token
      "message": "MFA enrollment required for production access"
    }

Partial token limitations:

- Cannot access production resources
- Can only access MFA enrollment endpoints
- Expires in 15 minutes

### Step 2: Choose MFA Method

    # Check available MFA methods
    provisioning mfa methods

    # Output:
    Available MFA Methods:
      • TOTP (Authenticator apps) - Recommended for all users
      • WebAuthn (Hardware keys) - Recommended for high-security roles
      • Backup Codes - Emergency recovery only

    # Check current MFA status
    provisioning mfa status

    # Output:
    MFA Status:
      TOTP: Not enrolled
      WebAuthn: Not enrolled
      Backup Codes: Not generated
      MFA Required: Yes (production workspace)

### Step 3: Enroll MFA Device

Choose one or both methods (TOTP + WebAuthn recommended):

- TOTP Setup
- WebAuthn Setup

### Step 4: Verify and Activate

After enrollment, login again with MFA:

    # Login (returns partial token)
    provisioning login --user admin@example.com --workspace production

    # Verify MFA code (returns full access token)
    provisioning mfa verify 123456

    # Response:
    {
      "status": "authenticated",
      "access_token": "eyJhbGci...",      # Full access token (15 min)
      "refresh_token": "eyJhbGci...",     # Refresh token (7 days)
      "mfa_verified": true,
      "expires_in": 900
    }

## TOTP Setup (Authenticator Apps)

### Supported Authenticator Apps

App | Platform | Notes
--- | --- | ---
Google Authenticator | iOS, Android | Simple, widely used
Authy | iOS, Android, Desktop | Cloud backup, multi-device
1Password | All platforms | Integrated with password manager
Microsoft Authenticator | iOS, Android | Enterprise integration
Bitwarden | All platforms | Open source

    ⚠ These codes allow access if you lose your authenticator device

    TOTP enrollment complete. MFA is now active for your account.

#### 4. Save Backup Codes

Critical: Store backup codes in a secure location:

    # Copy backup codes to password manager or encrypted file
    # NEVER store in plaintext, email, or cloud storage

    # Example: Store in encrypted file
    provisioning mfa backup-codes --save-encrypted ~/secure/mfa-backup-codes.enc

    # Or display again (requires existing MFA verification)
    provisioning mfa backup-codes --show

#### 5. Test TOTP Login

    # Logout to test full login flow
    provisioning logout

    # Login with password (returns partial token)
    provisioning login --user admin@example.com --workspace production

    # Get current TOTP code from authenticator app

## Enforcing MFA via Cedar Policies

### Production MFA Enforcement Policy

Location: `provisioning/config/cedar-policies/production.cedar`

    // Production operations require MFA verification
    permit (
      principal,
      action in [
        Action::"server:create",
        Action::"server:delete",
        Action::"cluster:deploy",
        Action::"secret:read",
        Action::"user:manage"
      ],
      resource in Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      // MFA MUST be verified
      context.mfa_verified == true
    };

    // Admin role requires MFA for ALL production actions
    permit (
      principal in Role::"Admin",
      action,
      resource in Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      context.mfa_verified == true
    };

    // Break-glass approval requires MFA
    permit (
      principal,
      action == Action::"break_glass:approve",
      resource
    ) when {
      context.mfa_verified == true &&
      principal.role in [Role::"Admin", Role::"SecurityLead"]
    };

### Development/Staging Policies (MFA Recommended, Not Required)

Location: `provisioning/config/cedar-policies/development.cedar`

    // Development: MFA recommended but not enforced
    permit (
      principal,
      action,
      resource in Environment::"dev"
    ) when {
      // MFA not required for dev, but logged if missing
      true
    };

    // Staging: MFA recommended for destructive operations
    permit (
      principal,
      action in [Action::"server:delete", Action::"cluster:delete"],
      resource in Environment::"staging"
    ) when {
      // Allow without MFA but log warning
      context.mfa_verified == true || context has mfa_warning_acknowledged
    };

### Policy Deployment

    # Validate Cedar policies
    provisioning cedar validate --policies config/cedar-policies/

    # Test policies with sample requests
    provisioning cedar test --policies config/cedar-policies/ \
      --test-file tests/cedar-test-cases.yaml

    # Deploy to production (requires MFA + approval)
    provisioning cedar deploy production --policies config/cedar-policies/production.cedar

    # Verify policy is active
    provisioning cedar status production

### Testing MFA Enforcement

    # Test 1: Production access WITHOUT MFA (should fail)
    provisioning login --user admin@example.com --workspace production
    provisioning server create web-01 --plan medium --check

    # Expected: Authorization denied (MFA not verified)

    # Test 2: Production access WITH MFA (should succeed)
    provisioning login --user admin@example.com --workspace production
    provisioning mfa verify 123456
    provisioning server create web-01 --plan medium --check

    # Expected: Server creation initiated

## Backup Codes Management

### Generating Backup Codes

Backup codes are automatically generated during first MFA enrollment:

    # View existing backup codes (requires MFA verification)
    provisioning mfa backup-codes --show

    # Regenerate backup codes (invalidates old ones)
    provisioning mfa backup-codes --regenerate

    # Output:
    ⚠ WARNING: Regenerating backup codes will invalidate all existing codes.
    Continue? (yes/no): yes

    New Backup Codes:
      1. X7Y2-Z9A4-B6C1
      2. D3E8-F5G2-H9J4
      3. K6L1-M7N3-P8Q2
      4. R4S9-T6U1-V3W7
      5. X2Y5-Z8A3-B9C4
      6. D7E1-F4G6-H2J8
      7. K5L9-M3N6-P1Q4
      8. R8S2-T5U7-V9W3
      9. X4Y6-Z1A8-B3C5
     10. D9E2-F7G4-H6J1

    ✓ Backup codes regenerated successfully
    ⚠ Save these codes in a secure location

### Using Backup Codes

When to use backup codes:

- Lost authenticator device (phone stolen, broken)
- WebAuthn key not available (traveling, left at office)
- Authenticator app not working (time sync issue)

Login with backup code:

    # Login (partial token)
    provisioning login --user admin@example.com --workspace production

    # Use backup code instead of TOTP/WebAuthn
    provisioning mfa verify-backup X7Y2-Z9A4-B6C1

    # Output:
    ✓ Backup code verified
    ⚠ Backup code consumed (9 remaining)
    ⚠ Enroll a new MFA device as soon as possible
    ✓ Full access granted (temporary)

### Backup Code Storage Best Practices

✅ DO:

- Store in password manager (1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass)
- Print and store in physical safe
- Encrypt and store in secure cloud storage (with encryption key stored separately)
- Share with trusted IT team member (encrypted)

❌ DON’T:

- Email to yourself
- Store in plaintext file on laptop
- Save in browser notes/bookmarks
- Share via Slack/Teams/unencrypted chat
- Screenshot and save to Photos

Example: Encrypted Storage:

    # Encrypt backup codes with Age
    provisioning mfa backup-codes --export | \
      age -p -o ~/secure/mfa-backup-codes.age

    # Decrypt when needed
    age -d ~/secure/mfa-backup-codes.age

## Recovery Procedures

### Scenario 1: Lost Authenticator Device (TOTP)

Situation: Phone stolen/broken, authenticator app not accessible

Recovery Steps:

    # Step 1: Use backup code to login
    provisioning login --user admin@example.com --workspace production
    provisioning mfa verify-backup X7Y2-Z9A4-B6C1

    # Step 2: Remove old TOTP enrollment
    provisioning mfa totp unenroll

    # Step 3: Enroll new TOTP device
    provisioning mfa totp enroll
    # [Scan QR code with new phone/authenticator app]
    provisioning mfa totp verify 654321

    # Step 4: Generate new backup codes
    provisioning mfa backup-codes --regenerate

### Scenario 2: Lost WebAuthn Key (YubiKey)

Situation: YubiKey lost, stolen, or damaged

Recovery Steps:

    # Step 1: Login with alternative method (TOTP or backup code)
    provisioning login --user admin@example.com --workspace production
    provisioning mfa verify 123456  # TOTP from authenticator app

    # Step 2: List registered WebAuthn devices
    provisioning mfa webauthn list

    # Step 3: Remove lost device
    provisioning mfa webauthn remove "YubiKey-Admin-Primary"

    # Output:
    ⚠ Remove WebAuthn device "YubiKey-Admin-Primary"?
    This cannot be undone. (yes/no): yes

    ✓ Device removed

    # Step 4: Register new WebAuthn device
    provisioning mfa webauthn register --device-name "YubiKey-Admin-Replacement"

### Scenario 3: All MFA Methods Lost

Situation: Lost phone (TOTP), lost YubiKey, no backup codes

Recovery Steps (Requires Admin Assistance):

    # User contacts Security Team / Platform Admin

    # Admin performs MFA reset (requires 2+ admin approval)
    provisioning admin mfa-reset admin@example.com \
      --reason "Employee lost all MFA devices (phone + YubiKey)" \
      --ticket SUPPORT-12345

    # Output:
    ⚠ MFA Reset Request Created

    Reset Request ID: MFA-RESET-20251008-001
    User: admin@example.com
    Reason: Employee lost all MFA devices (phone + YubiKey)
    Ticket: SUPPORT-12345

    Required Approvals: 2
    Approvers: 0/2

    # Two other admins approve (with their own MFA)
    provisioning admin mfa-reset approve MFA-RESET-20251008-001 \
      --reason "Verified via video call + employee badge"

    # After 2 approvals, MFA is reset
    ✓ MFA reset approved (2/2 approvals)
    ✓ User admin@example.com can now re-enroll MFA devices

    # User re-enrolls TOTP and WebAuthn
    provisioning mfa totp enroll
    provisioning mfa webauthn register --device-name "YubiKey-New"

### Scenario 4: Backup Codes Depleted

Situation: Used 9 out of 10 backup codes

Recovery Steps:

    # Login with last backup code
    provisioning login --user admin@example.com --workspace production
    provisioning mfa verify-backup D9E2-F7G4-H6J1

    # Output:
    ⚠ WARNING: This is your LAST backup code!
    ✓ Backup code verified
    ⚠ Regenerate backup codes immediately!

    # Immediately regenerate backup codes
    provisioning mfa backup-codes --regenerate

    # Save new codes securely

## Troubleshooting

### Issue 1: “Invalid TOTP code” Error

Symptoms:

    provisioning mfa verify 123456
    ✗ Error: Invalid TOTP code

Possible Causes:

1. Time sync issue (most common)
2. Wrong secret key entered during enrollment
3. Code expired (30-second window)

Solutions:

    # Check time sync (device clock must be accurate)
    # macOS:
    sudo sntp -sS time.apple.com

    # Linux:
    sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org

    # Verify TOTP configuration
    provisioning mfa totp status

    # Output:
    TOTP Configuration:
      Algorithm: SHA1
      Digits: 6
      Period: 30 seconds
      Time Window: ±1 period (90 seconds total)

    # Check system time vs NTP
    date && curl -s http://worldtimeapi.org/api/ip | grep datetime

    # If time is off by >30 seconds, sync time and retry

### Issue 2: WebAuthn Not Detected

Symptoms:

    provisioning mfa webauthn register
    ✗ Error: No WebAuthn authenticator detected

Solutions:

    # Check USB connection (for hardware keys)
    # macOS:
    system_profiler SPUSBDataType | grep -i yubikey

    # Linux:
    lsusb | grep -i yubico

    # Check browser WebAuthn support
    provisioning mfa webauthn check

    # Try different USB port (USB-A vs USB-C)

    # For Touch ID: Ensure finger is enrolled in System Preferences
    # For Windows Hello: Ensure biometrics are configured in Settings

### Issue 3: “MFA Required” Despite Verification

Symptoms:

    provisioning server create web-01
    ✗ Error: Authorization denied (MFA verification required)

Cause: Access token expired (15 min) or MFA verification not in token claims

Solution:

    # Check token expiration
    provisioning auth status

    # Output:
    Authentication Status:
      Logged in: Yes
      User: admin@example.com
      Access Token: Expired (issued 16 minutes ago)
      MFA Verified: Yes (but token expired)

    # Re-authenticate (will prompt for MFA again)
    provisioning login --user admin@example.com --workspace production
    provisioning mfa verify 654321

    # Verify MFA claim in token
    provisioning auth decode-token

    # Output (JWT claims):
    {
      "sub": "admin@example.com",
      "role": "Admin",
      "mfa_verified": true,  # ← Must be true
      "mfa_method": "totp",
      "iat": 1696766400,
      "exp": 1696767300
    }

### Issue 4: QR Code Not Displaying

Symptoms: QR code appears garbled or doesn’t display in terminal

Solutions:

    # Use manual entry instead
    provisioning mfa totp enroll --manual

    # Output (no QR code):
    Manual TOTP Setup:
      Secret: JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP
      Account: admin@example.com
      Issuer: Provisioning Platform

    Enter this secret manually in your authenticator app.

    # Or export QR code to image file
    provisioning mfa totp enroll --qr-image ~/mfa-qr.png
    open ~/mfa-qr.png  # View in image viewer

### Issue 5: Backup Code Not Working

Symptoms:

    provisioning mfa verify-backup X7Y2-Z9A4-B6C1
    ✗ Error: Invalid or already used backup code

Possible Causes:

1. Code already used (single-use only)
2. Backup codes regenerated (old codes invalidated)
3. Typo in code entry

Solutions:

    # Check backup code status (requires alternative login method)
    provisioning mfa backup-codes --status

    # Output:
    Backup Codes Status:
      Total Generated: 10
      Used: 3
      Remaining: 7
      Last Used: 2025-10-05T10:15:30Z

    # Contact admin for MFA reset if all codes used
    # Or use alternative MFA method (TOTP, WebAuthn)

## Best Practices

### For Individual Admins

#### 1. Use Multiple MFA Methods

✅ Recommended Setup:

- Primary: TOTP (Google Authenticator, Authy)
- Backup: WebAuthn (YubiKey or Touch ID)
- Emergency: Backup codes (stored securely)

    # Enroll all three
    provisioning mfa totp enroll
    provisioning mfa webauthn register --device-name "YubiKey-Primary"
    provisioning mfa backup-codes --save-encrypted ~/secure/codes.enc

#### 2. Secure Backup Code Storage

    # Store in password manager (1Password example)
    provisioning mfa backup-codes --show | \
      op item create --category "Secure Note" \
        --title "Provisioning MFA Backup Codes" \
        --vault "Work"

    # Or encrypted file
    provisioning mfa backup-codes --export | \
      age -p -o ~/secure/mfa-backup-codes.age

#### 3. Regular Device Audits

    # Monthly: Review registered devices
    provisioning mfa devices --all

    # Remove unused/old devices
    provisioning mfa webauthn remove "Old-YubiKey"
    provisioning mfa totp remove "Old-Phone"

#### 4. Test Recovery Procedures

    # Quarterly: Test backup code login
    provisioning logout
    provisioning login --user admin@example.com --workspace dev
    provisioning mfa verify-backup [test-code]

    # Verify backup codes are accessible
    cat ~/secure/mfa-backup-codes.enc | age -d

### For Security Teams

#### 1. MFA Enrollment Verification

    # Generate MFA enrollment report
    provisioning admin mfa-report --format csv > mfa-enrollment.csv

    # Output (CSV):
    # User,MFA_Enabled,TOTP,WebAuthn,Backup_Codes,Last_MFA_Login,Role
    # admin@example.com,Yes,Yes,Yes,10,2025-10-08T14:00:00Z,Admin
    # dev@example.com,No,No,No,0,Never,Developer

#### 2. Enforce MFA Deadlines

    # Set MFA enrollment deadline
    provisioning admin mfa-deadline set 2025-11-01 \
      --roles Admin,Developer \
      --environment production

    # Send reminder emails
    provisioning admin mfa-remind \
      --users-without-mfa \
      --template "MFA enrollment required by Nov 1"

#### 3. Monitor MFA Usage

    # Audit: Find production logins without MFA
    provisioning audit query \
      --action "auth:login" \
      --filter 'mfa_verified == false && environment == "production"' \
      --since 7d

    # Alert on repeated MFA failures
    provisioning monitoring alert create \
      --name "MFA Brute Force" \
      --condition "mfa_failures > 5 in 5 min" \
      --action "notify security-team"

#### 4. MFA Reset Policy

MFA Reset Requirements:

- User verification (video call + ID check)
- Support ticket created (incident tracking)
- 2+ admin approvals (different teams)
- Time-limited reset window (24 hours)
- Mandatory re-enrollment before production access

    # MFA reset workflow
    provisioning admin mfa-reset create user@example.com \
      --reason "Lost all devices" \
      --ticket SUPPORT-12345 \
      --expires-in 24h

    # Requires 2 approvals
    provisioning admin mfa-reset approve MFA-RESET-001

### For Platform Admins

#### 1. Cedar Policy Best Practices

    // Require MFA for high-risk actions
    permit (
      principal,
      action in [
        Action::"server:delete",
        Action::"cluster:delete",
        Action::"secret:delete",
        Action::"user:delete"
      ],
      resource
    ) when {
      context.mfa_verified == true &&
      context.mfa_age_seconds < 300  // MFA verified within last 5 minutes
    };

#### 2. MFA Grace Periods (For Rollout)

    # Development: No MFA required
    export PROVISIONING_MFA_REQUIRED=false

    # Staging: MFA recommended (warnings only)
    export PROVISIONING_MFA_REQUIRED=warn

    # Production: MFA mandatory (strict enforcement)
    export PROVISIONING_MFA_REQUIRED=true

#### 3. Backup Admin Account

Emergency Admin (break-glass scenario):

- Separate admin account with MFA enrollment
- Credentials stored in physical safe
- Only used when primary admins locked out
- Requires incident report after use

    # Create emergency admin
    provisioning admin create emergency-admin@example.com \
      --role EmergencyAdmin \
      --mfa-required true \
      --max-concurrent-sessions 1

    # Print backup codes and store in safe
    provisioning mfa backup-codes --show --user emergency-admin@example.com > emergency-codes.txt
    # [Print and store in physical safe]

## Audit and Compliance

### MFA Audit Logging

All MFA events are logged to the audit system:

    # View MFA enrollment events
    provisioning audit query \
      --action-type "mfa:*" \
      --since 30d

    # Output (JSON):
    [
      {
        "timestamp": "2025-10-08T14:32:10Z",
        "action": "mfa:totp:enroll",
        "user": "admin@example.com",
        "result": "success",
        "device_type": "totp",
        "ip_address": "203.0.113.42"
      },

        "device_name": "YubiKey-Admin-Primary",
        "ip_address": "203.0.113.42"
      }
    ]

### Infrastructure Lifecycle

    Plan → Create → Deploy → Monitor → Scale → Update → Retire

Each phase has specific commands and considerations.

## Server Management

### Understanding Server Configuration

Servers are defined in Nickel configuration files:

    # Example server configuration
    import models.server

    servers: [
        server.Server {
            name = "web-01"
            provider = "aws"          # aws, upcloud, local
            plan = "t3.medium"        # Instance type/plan
            os = "ubuntu-22.04"       # Operating system
            zone = "us-west-2a"       # Availability zone

            # Network configuration
            vpc = "main"
            subnet = "web"
            security_groups = ["web", "ssh"]

            # Storage configuration
            storage = {
                root_size = "50 GB"
                additional = [
                    {name = "data", size = "100 GB", type = "gp3"}
                ]
            }

            # Task services to install
            taskservs = [
                "containerd",
                "kubernetes",
                "monitoring"
            ]

            # Tags for organization
            tags = {
                environment = "production"
                team = "platform"
                cost_center = "engineering"

### Multi-Region Deployment

    # Multi-region configuration
    regions: {
        primary = {
            name = "us-west-2"
            servers = ["web-01", "web-02", "db-01"]
            availability_zones = ["us-west-2a", "us-west-2b"]
        }

        secondary = {
            name = "us-east-1"
            servers = ["web-03", "web-04", "db-02"]
            availability_zones = ["us-east-1a", "us-east-1b"]
        }

        # Cross-region replication
        replication = {
            database = {
                primary = "us-west-2"
                replicas = ["us-east-1"]
                sync_mode = "async"
            }

            storage = {
                sync_schedule = "*/15 * * * *"  # Every 15 minutes
            }
        }
    }

### Blue-Green Deployment

    # Create green environment
    provisioning generate infra --from production --name production-green

    # Deploy to green
    provisioning server create --infra production-green
    provisioning taskserv create --infra production-green
    provisioning cluster deploy --infra production-green

    # Switch traffic to green
    provisioning network switch --from production --to production-green

    # Decommission blue
    provisioning server delete --infra production --yes

### Canary Deployment

    # Create canary environment
    provisioning cluster create web-cluster-canary --replicas 1 --infra my-infra

    # Route small percentage of traffic
    provisioning network route --target web-cluster-canary --weight 10 --infra my-infra

    # Monitor canary metrics
    provisioning metrics monitor web-cluster-canary --infra my-infra

    # Promote or rollback
    provisioning cluster promote web-cluster-canary --infra my-infra
    # or
    provisioning cluster rollback web-cluster-canary --infra my-infra

    provisioning network test --infra my-infra

    # Check security groups
    provisioning network security-groups --infra my-infra

    # Trace network path
    provisioning network trace --from web-01 --to db-01 --infra my-infra

### Performance Optimization

    # Analyze performance bottlenecks
    provisioning performance analyze --infra my-infra

    # Get performance recommendations
    provisioning performance recommendations --infra my-infra

    # Monitor resource utilization
    provisioning performance monitor --infra my-infra --duration 1h

## Testing Infrastructure

The provisioning system includes a comprehensive Test Environment Service for automated testing of infrastructure components before deployment.

### Why Test Infrastructure

Testing infrastructure before production deployment helps:

- Validate taskserv configurations before installing on production servers
- Test integration between multiple taskservs
- Verify cluster topologies (Kubernetes, etcd, etc.) before deployment
- Catch configuration errors early in the development cycle
- Ensure compatibility between components

### Test Environment Types

#### 1. Single Taskserv Testing

Test individual taskservs in isolated containers:

    # Quick test (create, run, cleanup automatically)
    provisioning test quick kubernetes

    # Single taskserv with custom resources
    provisioning test env single postgres \
      --cpu 2000 \
      --memory 4096 \
      --auto-start \
      --auto-cleanup

    # Test with specific infrastructure context
    provisioning test env single redis --infra my-infra

#### 2. Server Simulation

Test complete server configurations with multiple taskservs:

    # Simulate web server with multiple taskservs
    provisioning test env server web-01 [containerd kubernetes cilium] \
      --auto-start

    # Simulate database server
    provisioning test env server db-01 [postgres redis] \
      --infra prod-stack \
      --auto-start

#### 3. Multi-Node Cluster Testing

Test complex cluster topologies before production deployment:

    # Test 3-node Kubernetes cluster
    provisioning test topology load kubernetes_3node | \
      test env cluster kubernetes --auto-start

    # Test etcd cluster
    provisioning test topology load etcd_cluster | \
      test env cluster etcd --auto-start

    # Test single-node Kubernetes
    provisioning test topology load kubernetes_single | \
      test env cluster kubernetes --auto-start

### Managing Test Environments

    # List all test environments
    provisioning test env list

    # Check environment status
    provisioning test env status <env-id>

    # View environment logs
    provisioning test env logs <env-id>

    # Cleanup environment when done
    provisioning test env cleanup <env-id>

### Available Topology Templates

Pre-configured multi-node cluster templates:

Template | Description | Use Case
--- | --- | ---
`kubernetes_3node` | 3-node HA K8s cluster | Production-like K8s testing
`kubernetes_single` | All-in-one K8s node | Development K8s testing
`etcd_cluster` | 3-member etcd cluster | Distributed consensus testing
`containerd_test` | Standalone containerd | Container runtime testing
`postgres_redis` | Database stack | Database integration testing

### Test Environment Workflow

Typical testing workflow:

    # 1. Test new taskserv before deploying
    provisioning test quick kubernetes

    # 2. If successful, test server configuration
    provisioning test env server k8s-node [containerd kubernetes cilium] \
      --auto-start

    # 3. Test complete cluster topology
    provisioning test topology load kubernetes_3node | \
      test env cluster kubernetes --auto-start

    # 4. Deploy to production
    provisioning server create --infra production
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --infra production

### CI/CD Integration

Integrate infrastructure testing into CI/CD pipelines:

    # GitLab CI example
    test-infrastructure:
      stage: test
      script:
        # Start orchestrator
        - ./scripts/start-orchestrator.nu --background

        # Test critical taskservs
        - provisioning test quick kubernetes
        - provisioning test quick postgres
        - provisioning test quick redis

        # Test cluster topology
        - provisioning test topology load kubernetes_3node |
            test env cluster kubernetes --auto-start

      artifacts:
        when: on_failure
        paths:
          - test-logs/

### Prerequisites

Test environments require:

1. Docker Running: Test environments use Docker containers

       docker ps  # Should work without errors

2. Orchestrator Running: The orchestrator manages test containers

       cd provisioning/platform/orchestrator
       ./scripts/start-orchestrator.nu --background

### Advanced Testing

#### Custom Topology Testing

Create custom topology configurations:

    # custom-topology.toml
    [my_cluster]
    name = "Custom Test Cluster"
    cluster_type = "custom"

    [[my_cluster.nodes]]
    name = "node-01"
    role = "primary"
    taskservs = ["postgres", "redis"]
    [my_cluster.nodes.resources]
    cpu_millicores = 2000
    memory_mb = 4096

    [[my_cluster.nodes]]
    name = "node-02"
    role = "replica"
    taskservs = ["postgres"]
    [my_cluster.nodes.resources]
    cpu_millicores = 1000
    memory_mb = 2048

Load and test custom topology:

    provisioning test env cluster custom-app custom-topology.toml --auto-start

#### Integration Testing

Test taskserv dependencies:

    # Test Kubernetes dependencies in order
    provisioning test quick containerd
    provisioning test quick etcd
    provisioning test quick kubernetes
    provisioning test quick cilium

    # Test complete stack
    provisioning test env server k8s-stack \
      [containerd etcd kubernetes cilium] \
      --auto-start

# Infrastructure-from-Code (IaC) Guide

## Overview

The Infrastructure-from-Code system automatically detects technologies in your project and infers infrastructure requirements based on organization-specific rules. It consists of three main commands:

- detect: Scan a project and identify technologies
- complete: Analyze gaps and recommend infrastructure components
- ifc: Full-pipeline orchestration (workflow)

## Quick Start

### 1. Detect Technologies in Your Project

Scan a project directory for detected technologies:

    provisioning detect /path/to/project --out json

Output Example:

    {
      "detections": [
        {"technology": "nodejs", "confidence": 0.95},
        {"technology": "postgres", "confidence": 0.92}
      ],
      "overall_confidence": 0.93
    }

### 2. Analyze Infrastructure Gaps

Get a completeness assessment and recommendations:

    provisioning complete /path/to/project --out json

Output Example:

    {
      "completeness": 1.0,
      "changes_needed": 2,
      "is_safe": true,
      "change_summary": "+ Adding: postgres-backup, pg-monitoring"
    }

### 3. Run Full Workflow

Orchestrate detection → completion → assessment pipeline:

    provisioning ifc /path/to/project --org default

Output:

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    🔄 Infrastructure-from-Code Workflow
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    STEP 1: Technology Detection
    ────────────────────────────
    ✓ Detected 2 technologies

    STEP 2: Infrastructure Completion
    ─────────────────────────────────
    ✓ Completeness: 1%

    ✅ Workflow Complete

## Organization-Specific Inference Rules

Customize how infrastructure is inferred for your organization.

### Understanding Inference Rules

An inference rule tells the system: “If we detect technology X, we should recommend taskservice Y.”

Rule Structure:

    version: "1.0.0"
    organization: "your-org"
    rules:
      - name: "rule-name"
        technology: ["detected-tech"]
        infers: "required-taskserv"
        confidence: 0.85
        reason: "Why this taskserv is needed"
        required: true

### Creating Custom Rules

Create an organization-specific rules file:

    # ACME Corporation rules
    cat > $PROVISIONING/config/inference-rules/acme-corp.yaml << 'EOF'
    version: "1.0.0"
    organization: "acme-corp"
    description: "ACME Corporation infrastructure standards"

    rules:
      - name: "nodejs-to-redis"
        technology: ["nodejs", "express"]
        infers: "redis"
        confidence: 0.85
        reason: "Node.js applications need caching"
        required: false

      - name: "postgres-to-backup"
        technology: ["postgres"]
        infers: "postgres-backup"
        confidence: 0.95
        reason: "All databases require backup strategy"
        required: true

      - name: "all-services-monitoring"
        technology: ["nodejs", "python", "postgres"]
        infers: "monitoring"
        confidence: 0.90
        reason: "ACME requires monitoring on production services"
        required: true
    EOF

Then use them:

    provisioning ifc /path/to/project --org acme-corp

### Default Rules

If no organization rules are found, the system uses sensible defaults:

- Node.js + Express → Redis (caching)
- Node.js → Nginx (reverse proxy)
- Database → Backup (data protection)
- Docker → Kubernetes (orchestration)
- Python → Gunicorn (WSGI server)
- PostgreSQL → Monitoring (production safety)

## Output Formats

### Text Output (Default)

Human-readable format with visual indicators:

    STEP 1: Technology Detection
    ────────────────────────────
    ✓ Detected 2 technologies

    STEP 2: Infrastructure Completion
    ─────────────────────────────────
    ✓ Completeness: 1%

### JSON Output

Structured format for automation and parsing:

    provisioning detect /path/to/project --out json | jq '.detections[0]'

Output:

    {
      "technology": "nodejs",
      "confidence": 0.8333333134651184,
      "evidence_count": 1
    }

### YAML Output

Alternative structured format:

    provisioning detect /path/to/project --out yaml

## Practical Examples

### Example 1: Node.js + PostgreSQL Project

    # Step 1: Detect
    $ provisioning detect my-app
    ✓ Detected: nodejs, express, postgres, docker

    # Step 2: Complete
    $ provisioning complete my-app
    ✓ Changes needed: 3
      - redis (caching)
      - nginx (reverse proxy)
      - pg-backup (database backup)

    # Step 3: Full workflow
    $ provisioning ifc my-app --org acme-corp

### Example 2: Python Django Project

    $ provisioning detect django-app --out json
    {
      "detections": [
        {"technology": "python", "confidence": 0.95},
        {"technology": "django", "confidence": 0.92}
      ]
    }

    # Inferred requirements (with gunicorn, monitoring, backup)

### Example 3: Microservices Architecture

    $ provisioning ifc microservices/ --org mycompany --verbose
    🔍 Processing microservices/
      - service-a: nodejs + postgres
      - service-b: python + redis
      - service-c: go + mongodb

    ✓ Detected common patterns
    ✓ Applied 12 inference rules
    ✓ Generated deployment plan

## Integration with Automation

### CI/CD Pipeline Example

    #!/bin/bash
    # Check infrastructure completeness in CI/CD

    PROJECT_PATH=${1:-.}
    COMPLETENESS=$(provisioning complete $PROJECT_PATH --out json | jq '.completeness')

    if (( $(echo "$COMPLETENESS < 0.9" | bc -l) )); then
        echo "❌ Infrastructure completeness too low: $COMPLETENESS"
        exit 1
    fi

    echo "✅ Infrastructure is complete: $COMPLETENESS"

### Configuration as Code Integration

    # Generate JSON for infrastructure config
    provisioning detect /path/to/project --out json > infra-report.json

    # Use in your config processing
    cat infra-report.json | jq '.detections[]' | while read -r tech; do
        echo "Processing technology: $tech"
    done

## Troubleshooting

### “Detector binary not found”

Solution: Ensure the provisioning project is properly built:

    cd $PROVISIONING/platform
    cargo build --release --bin provisioning-detector

### No technologies detected

Check:

1. Project path is correct: `provisioning detect /actual/path`
2. Project contains recognizable technologies (package.json, Dockerfile, requirements.txt, etc.)
3. Use `--debug` flag for more details: `provisioning detect /path --debug`

### Organization rules not being applied

Check:

1. Rules file exists: `$PROVISIONING/config/inference-rules/{org}.yaml`
2. Organization name is correct: `provisioning ifc /path --org myorg`
3. Verify rules structure with: `cat $PROVISIONING/config/inference-rules/myorg.yaml`

## Advanced Usage

### Custom Rule Template

Generate a template for a new organization:

    # Template will be created with proper structure
    provisioning rules create --org neworg

### Validate Rule Files

    # Check for syntax errors
    provisioning rules validate /path/to/rules.yaml

### Export Rules for Integration

Export as Rust code for embedding:

    provisioning rules export myorg --format rust > rules.rs

## Best Practices

1. Organize by Organization: Keep separate rules for different organizations
2. High Confidence First: Start with rules you’re confident about (confidence > 0.8)
3. Document Reasons: Always fill in the `reason` field for maintainability
4. Test Locally: Run on sample projects before applying organization-wide
5. Version Control: Commit inference rules to version control
6. Review Changes: Always inspect recommendations with `--check` first

### Tips & Tricks

Parse JSON in bash:

    provisioning detect . --out json | \
      jq '.detections[] | .technology' | \
      sort | uniq

Watch for changes:

    watch -n 5 'provisioning complete . --out json | jq ".completeness"'

Generate reports:

    provisioning detect . --out yaml > detection-report.yaml
    provisioning complete . --out yaml > completion-report.yaml

Validate all organizations:

    for org in $PROVISIONING/config/inference-rules/*.yaml; do
        org_name=$(basename "$org" .yaml)
        echo "Testing $org_name..."
        provisioning ifc . --org "$org_name" --check
    done

    # Show batch workflow statistics
    nu -c "use core/nulib/workflows/batch.nu *; batch stats"

## Nickel Workflow Schema

Batch workflows are defined using Nickel configuration in `schemas/workflows.ncl`:

    # Example batch workflow with mixed providers
    {
      batch_workflow = {
        name = "multi_cloud_deployment",
        version = "1.0.0",
        storage_backend = "surrealdb",  # or "filesystem"
        parallel_limit = 5,
        rollback_enabled = true,

        operations = [
          {
            id = "upcloud_servers",
            type = "server_batch",
            provider = "upcloud",
            dependencies = [],
            server_configs = [
              { name = "web-01", plan = "1xCPU-2 GB", zone = "de-fra1" },
              { name = "web-02", plan = "1xCPU-2 GB", zone = "us-nyc1" }
            ]

## REST API Endpoints (Batch Operations)

Extended orchestrator API for batch workflow management:

- Submit Batch: `POST http://localhost:9090/v1/workflows/batch/submit`
- Batch Status: `GET http://localhost:9090/v1/workflows/batch/{id}`
- List Batches: `GET http://localhost:9090/v1/workflows/batch`
- Monitor Progress: `GET http://localhost:9090/v1/workflows/batch/{id}/progress`
- Initiate Rollback: `POST http://localhost:9090/v1/workflows/batch/{id}/rollback`
- Batch Statistics: `GET http://localhost:9090/v1/workflows/batch/stats`

## System Benefits

- Provider Agnostic: Mix UpCloud, AWS, and local providers in single workflows
- Type Safety: Nickel schema validation prevents runtime errors
- Dependency Management: Automatic resolution with failure handling
- State Recovery: Checkpoint-based recovery from any failure point
- Real-time Monitoring: Live progress tracking with detailed status

## Overview

The batch workflow system enables declarative orchestration of operations across multiple providers with:

- Dependency Tracking: Define what must complete before what
- Error Handling: Automatic rollback on failure
- Idempotency: Safe to re-run workflows
- Status Tracking: Real-time progress monitoring
- Recovery Checkpoints: Resume from failure points

## Workflow 1: Coordinated Multi-Provider Deployment

Use Case: Deploy web application across DigitalOcean, AWS, and Hetzner with proper sequencing and dependencies.

Workflow Characteristics:

- Database created first (dependencies)
- Backup storage ready before compute
- Web servers scale once database ready
- Health checks before considering complete

## Workflow 2: Multi-Provider Disaster Recovery Failover

Use Case: Automated failover from primary provider (DigitalOcean) to backup provider (Hetzner) on detection of failure.

Workflow Characteristics:

- Continuous health monitoring
- Automatic failover trigger
- Database promotion
- DNS update
- Verification before considering complete

## Best Practices

### 1. Workflow Design

- Define Clear Dependencies: Explicitly state what must happen before what
- Use Idempotent Operations: Workflows should be safe to re-run
- Set Realistic Timeouts: Account for cloud provider delays
- Plan for Failures: Define rollback strategies
- Test Workflows: Run in staging before production

### 2. Orchestration

- Parallel Execution: Run independent phases in parallel for speed
- Checkpoints: Add verification at each phase
- Progressive Deployment: Use gradual traffic shifting
- Monitoring Integration: Track metrics during workflow
- Notifications: Alert team at key points

### 3. Cost Management

- Calculate ROI: Track cost savings from optimizations
- Monitor Resource Usage: Watch for over-provisioning
- Implement Cleanup: Remove old resources after migration
- Review Regularly: Reassess provider choices

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Workflow Stuck in Phase

Diagnosis:

    provisioning workflow status workflow-id --verbose

Solution:

- Increase timeout if legitimate long operation
- Check provider logs for actual status
- Manually intervene if necessary
- Use `--skip-phase` to skip problematic phase

### Issue: Rollback Failed

Diagnosis:

    provisioning workflow rollback workflow-id --dry-run

Solution:

- Review what resources were created
- Manually delete resources if needed
- Fix root cause of failure
- Re-run workflow

### Issue: Data Inconsistency After Failover

Diagnosis:

    provisioning database verify-consistency

Solution:

- Check replication lag before failover
- Manually resync if necessary
- Use backup to restore consistency
- Run validation queries

## Summary

Batch workflows enable complex multi-provider orchestration with:

- Coordinated deployment across providers
- Automated failover and recovery
- Gradual workload migration
- Cost optimization
- Disaster recovery

Start with simple workflows and gradually add complexity as you gain confidence.

# Modular CLI Architecture (v3.2.0 - MAJOR REFACTORING)

## 🚀 CLI Refactoring Completed (2025-09-30)

A comprehensive CLI refactoring transforming the monolithic 1,329-line script into a modular, maintainable architecture with domain-driven design.

## Architecture Improvements

- Main File Reduction: 1,329 lines → 211 lines (84% reduction)
- Domain Handlers: 7 focused modules (infrastructure, orchestration, development, workspace, configuration, utilities, generation)
- Code Duplication: 50+ instances eliminated through centralized flag handling
- Command Registry: 80+ shortcuts for improved user experience
- Bi-directional Help: `provisioning help ws` = `provisioning ws help`
- Test Coverage: Comprehensive test suite with 6 test groups

# Configuration System (v2.0.0)

## ⚠️ Migration Completed (2025-09-23)

The system has been migrated from ENV-based to config-driven architecture.

- 65+ files migrated across entire codebase
- 200+ ENV variables replaced with 476 config accessors
- 16 token-efficient agents used for systematic migration
- 92% token efficiency achieved vs monolithic approach

## Configuration Files

- Primary Config: `config.defaults.toml` (system defaults)
- User Config: `config.user.toml` (user preferences)
- Environment Configs: `config.{dev,test,prod}.toml.example`
- Hierarchical Loading: defaults → user → project → infra → env → runtime
- Interpolation: `{{paths.base}}`, `{{env.HOME}}`, `{{now.date}}`, `{{git.branch}}`

## Essential Commands

- `provisioning validate config` - Validate configuration
- `provisioning env` - Show environment variables
- `provisioning allenv` - Show all config and environment
- `PROVISIONING_ENV=prod provisioning` - Use specific environment

## Configuration Architecture

See ADR-010: Configuration Format Strategy for complete rationale and design patterns.

### Configuration Loading Hierarchy (Priority)

When loading configuration, precedence is (highest to lowest):

1. Runtime Arguments - CLI flags and direct user input
2. Environment Variables - `PROVISIONING_*` overrides
3. User Configuration - `~/.config/provisioning/user_config.yaml`
4. Infrastructure Configuration - Nickel schemas, extensions, provider configs
5. System Defaults - `provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml`

### File Type Guidelines

For new configuration:

- Infrastructure/schemas → Use Nickel (type-safe, schema-validated)
- Application settings → Use TOML (hierarchical, supports interpolation)
- Kubernetes/CI-CD → Use YAML (standard, ecosystem-compatible)

For existing workspace configs:

- Nickel is the primary configuration language
- All new workspaces use Nickel exclusively

# Dynamic Secrets Guide

This guide covers generating and managing temporary credentials (dynamic secrets) instead of using static secrets. See the Quick Reference section below for fast lookup.

## Quick Reference

Quick Start: Generate temporary credentials instead of using static secrets

### Quick Commands

#### Generate AWS Credentials (1 hour)

    secrets generate aws --role deploy --workspace prod --purpose "deployment"

#### Generate SSH Key (2 hours)

    secrets generate ssh --ttl 2 --workspace dev --purpose "server access"

#### Generate UpCloud Subaccount (2 hours)

    secrets generate upcloud --workspace staging --purpose "testing"

#### List Active Secrets

    secrets list

#### Revoke Secret

    secrets revoke <secret-id> --reason "no longer needed"

#### View Statistics

    secrets stats

## Secret Types

Type | TTL Range | Renewable | Use Case
--- | --- | --- | ---
AWS STS | 15 min - 12 h | ✅ Yes | Cloud resource provisioning
SSH Keys | 10 min - 24 h | ❌ No | Temporary server access
UpCloud | 30 min - 8 h | ❌ No | UpCloud API operations
Vault | 5 min - 24 h | ✅ Yes | Any Vault-backed secret

## REST API Endpoints

Base URL: `http://localhost:9090/api/v1/secrets`

    # Generate secret
    POST /generate

    # Get secret
    GET /{id}

    # Revoke secret
    POST /{id}/revoke

    # Renew secret
    POST /{id}/renew

    # List secrets
    GET /list

    # List expiring
    GET /expiring

    # Statistics
    GET /stats

## AWS STS Example

    # Generate
    let creds = secrets generate aws `
        --role deploy `
        --region us-west-2 `
        --workspace prod `
        --purpose "Deploy servers"

    # Export to environment
    export-env {
        AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ($creds.credentials.access_key_id)
        AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ($creds.credentials.secret_access_key)
        AWS_SESSION_TOKEN: ($creds.credentials.session_token)
    }

    # Use credentials
    provisioning server create

    # Cleanup
    secrets revoke ($creds.id) --reason "done"

## SSH Key Example

    # Generate
    let key = secrets generate ssh `
        --ttl 4 `
        --workspace dev `
        --purpose "Debug issue"

    # Save key
    $key.credentials.private_key | save ~/.ssh/temp_key
    chmod 600 ~/.ssh/temp_key

    # Use key
    ssh -i ~/.ssh/temp_key user@server

    # Cleanup
    rm ~/.ssh/temp_key
    secrets revoke ($key.id) --reason "fixed"

## Configuration

File: `provisioning/platform/orchestrator/config.defaults.toml`

    [secrets]
    default_ttl_hours = 1
    max_ttl_hours = 12
    auto_revoke_on_expiry = true
    warning_threshold_minutes = 5

    aws_account_id = "123456789012"
    aws_default_region = "us-east-1"

    upcloud_username = "${UPCLOUD_USER}"
    upcloud_password = "${UPCLOUD_PASS}"

## Troubleshooting

### “Provider not found”

→ Check service initialization

### “TTL exceeds maximum”

→ Reduce TTL or configure higher max

### “Secret not renewable”

→ Generate new secret instead

### “Missing required parameter”

→ Check provider requirements (for example, AWS needs ‘role’)

## Security Features

- ✅ No static credentials stored
- ✅ Automatic expiration (1-12 hours)
- ✅ Auto-revocation on expiry
- ✅ Full audit trail
- ✅ Memory-only storage
- ✅ TLS in transit

## Support

Orchestrator logs: `provisioning/platform/orchestrator/data/orchestrator.log`

Debug secrets: `secrets list | where is_expired == true`

      script:
        # Token injected by CI
        - export PROVISIONING_MODE=cicd
        - mkdir -p /var/run/secrets/provisioning
        - echo "$PROVISIONING_TOKEN" > /var/run/secrets/provisioning/token

        # Validate
        - provisioning validate --all

        # Test
        - provisioning test quick kubernetes

        # Deploy
        - provisioning server create --check

## Configuration Files

### Mode Templates

    workspace/config/modes/
    ├── solo.yaml           # Solo mode configuration
    ├── multi-user.yaml     # Multi-user mode configuration
    ├── cicd.yaml           # CI/CD mode configuration
    └── enterprise.yaml     # Enterprise mode configuration

### Active Mode Configuration

    ~/.provisioning/config/active-mode.yaml

This file is created/updated when you switch modes.

## OCI Registry Namespaces

All modes use the following OCI registry namespaces:

Namespace | Purpose | Example
--- | --- | ---
`*-extensions` | Extension artifacts | `provisioning-extensions/upcloud:latest`
`*-schemas` | Nickel schema artifacts | `provisioning-schemas/lib:v1.0.0`
`*-platform` | Platform service images | `provisioning-platform/orchestrator:latest`
`*-test` | Test environment images | `provisioning-test/ubuntu:22.04`

Note: Prefix varies by mode (`dev-`, `provisioning-`, `cicd-`, `prod-`)

## Troubleshooting

### Mode switch fails

    # Validate mode first
    provisioning mode validate <mode-name>

    # Check runtime requirements
    provisioning mode validate <mode-name> --check-requirements

### Cannot start OCI registry (solo mode)

    # Check if registry binary is installed
    which zot

    # Install Zot
    # macOS: brew install project-zot/tap/zot
    # Linux: Download from https://github.com/project-zot/zot/releases

    # Check if port 5000 is available
    lsof -i :5000

### Authentication fails (multi-user/cicd/enterprise)

    # Check token expiry
    provisioning auth status

    # Re-authenticate
    provisioning auth login

    # For enterprise mTLS, verify certificates
    ls -la /etc/provisioning/certs/
    # Should contain: client.crt, client.key, ca.crt

### Workspace locking issues (multi-user/enterprise)

    # Check lock status
    provisioning workspace lock-status <workspace-name>

    # Force unlock (use with caution)
    provisioning workspace unlock <workspace-name> --force

    # Check lock provider status
    # Multi-user: Check Gitea connectivity
    curl -I https://git.company.local

    # Enterprise: Check etcd cluster
    etcdctl endpoint health

### OCI registry connection fails

    # Test registry connectivity
    curl https://harbor.company.local/v2/

    # Check authentication token
    cat ~/.provisioning/tokens/oci

    # Verify network connectivity
    ping harbor.company.local

    # For Harbor, check credentials
    docker login harbor.company.local

## Environment Variables

Variable | Purpose | Example
--- | --- | ---
`PROVISIONING_MODE` | Override active mode | `export PROVISIONING_MODE=cicd`
`PROVISIONING_WORKSPACE_CONFIG` | Override config location | `~/.provisioning/config`
`PROVISIONING_PROJECT_ROOT` | Project root directory | `/opt/project-provisioning`

## Best Practices

### 1. Use Appropriate Mode

- Solo: Individual development, experimentation
- Multi-User: Team collaboration, shared infrastructure
- CI/CD: Automated testing and deployment
- Enterprise: Production deployments, compliance requirements

### 2. Validate Before Switching

    provisioning mode validate <mode-name>

### 3. Backup Active Configuration

    # Automatic backup created when switching
    ls ~/.provisioning/config/active-mode.yaml.backup

### 4. Use Check Mode

    provisioning server create --check

### 5. Lock Workspaces in Multi-User/Enterprise

    provisioning workspace lock <workspace-name>
    # ... make changes ...
    provisioning workspace unlock <workspace-name>

### 6. Pull Extensions from OCI (Multi-User/CI/CD/Enterprise)

    # Don't use local extensions in shared modes
    provisioning extension pull <extension-name>

## Security Considerations

### Solo Mode

- ⚠️ No authentication (local development only)
- ⚠️ No encryption (sensitive data should use SOPS)
- ✅ Isolated environment

### Multi-User Mode

- ✅ Token-based authentication
- ✅ TLS in transit
- ✅ Audit logging
- ⚠️ No encryption at rest (configure as needed)

### CI/CD Mode

- ✅ Token authentication (short expiry)
- ✅ Full encryption (at rest + in transit)
- ✅ KMS for secrets
- ✅ Vulnerability scanning (critical threshold)
- ✅ Image signing required

### Enterprise Mode

- ✅ mTLS authentication
- ✅ Full encryption (at rest + in transit)
- ✅ KMS for all secrets
- ✅ Vulnerability scanning (critical threshold)
- ✅ Image signing + signature verification
- ✅ Network isolation
- ✅ Compliance policies (SOC2, ISO27001, HIPAA)

# Configuration Rendering Guide

This guide covers the unified configuration rendering system in the CLI daemon that supports Nickel and Tera template engines.

## Overview

The CLI daemon (`cli-daemon`) provides a high-performance REST API for rendering configurations in multiple formats:

- Nickel: Functional configuration language with lazy evaluation and type safety (primary choice)
- Tera: Jinja2-compatible template engine (simple templating)

All renderers are accessible through a single unified API endpoint with intelligent caching to minimize latency.

## Quick Start

### Starting the Daemon

The daemon runs on port 9091 by default:

    # Start in background
    ./target/release/cli-daemon &

    # Check it's running
    curl http://localhost:9091/health

### Simple Nickel Rendering

    curl -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "language": "nickel",
        "content": "{ name = \"my-server\", cpu = 4, memory = 8192 }",
        "name": "server-config"
      }'

Response:

    {
      "rendered": "{ name = \"my-server\", cpu = 4, memory = 8192 }",
      "error": null,
      "language": "nickel",
      "execution_time_ms": 23
    }

## REST API Reference

### POST /config/render

Render a configuration in any supported language.

Request Headers:

    Content-Type: application/json

Request Body:

    {
      "language": "nickel|tera",
      "content": "...configuration content...",
      "context": {
        "key1": "value1",
        "key2": 123
      },
      "name": "optional-config-name"
    }

      "error": "Nickel evaluation failed: undefined variable 'name'",
      "language": "nickel",
      "execution_time_ms": 18
    }

Status Codes:

- `200 OK` - Rendering completed (check `error` field in body for evaluation errors)
- `400 Bad Request` - Invalid request format

Response:

    {
      "status": "success",
      "message": "Configuration rendering statistics reset"
    }

## Nickel Rendering

### Basic Nickel Configuration

    curl -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "language": "nickel",
        "content": "{
      name = \"production-server\",
      type = \"web\",
      cpu = 4,
      memory = 8192,
      disk = 50,
      tags = {
        environment = \"production\",
        team = \"platform\"
      }
    }",
        "name": "nickel-server-config"
      }'

### Nickel with Lazy Evaluation

Nickel excels at evaluating only what’s needed:

    curl -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "language": "nickel",
        "content": "{
      server = {
        name = \"db-01\",
        # Expensive computation - only computed if accessed
        health_check = std.array.fold
          (fun acc x => acc + x)
          0
          [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
      },
      networking = {
        dns_servers = [\"8.8.8.8\", \"8.8.4.4\"],
        firewall_rules = [\"allow_ssh\", \"allow_https\"]
      }
    }",
        "context": {
          "only_server": true
        }
      }'

### Expected Nickel Rendering Time

- First render (cache miss): 30-60 ms
- Cached render (same content): 1-5 ms
- Large configs with lazy evaluation: 40-80 ms

Advantage: Nickel only computes fields that are actually used in the output

## Tera Template Rendering

### Basic Tera Template

    curl -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "language": "tera",
        "content": "
    Server Configuration
    ====================

    Name: {{ server_name }}
    Environment: {{ environment | default(value=\"development\") }}
    Type: {{ server_type }}

    Assigned Tasks:
    {% for task in tasks %}
      - {{ task }}
    {% endfor %}

    {% if enable_monitoring %}
    Monitoring: ENABLED
      - Prometheus: true
      - Grafana: true
    {% else %}
    Monitoring: DISABLED
    {% endif %}
    ",
        "context": {
          "server_name": "prod-web-01",
          "environment": "production",
          "server_type": "web",
          "tasks": ["kubernetes", "prometheus", "cilium"],
          "enable_monitoring": true
        },
        "name": "server-template"
      }'

### Tera Filters and Functions

Tera supports Jinja2-compatible filters and functions:

    curl -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "language": "tera",
        "content": "
    Configuration for {{ environment | upper }}
    Servers: {{ server_count | default(value=1) }}
    Cost estimate: \${{ monthly_cost | round(precision=2) }}

    {% for server in servers | reverse %}
    - {{ server.name }}: {{ server.cpu }} CPUs
    {% endfor %}
    ",
        "context": {
          "environment": "production",
          "server_count": 5,
          "monthly_cost": 1234.567,
          "servers": [
            {"name": "web-01", "cpu": 4},
            {"name": "db-01", "cpu": 8},
            {"name": "cache-01", "cpu": 2}
          ]
        }
      }'

### Expected Tera Rendering Time

- Simple templates: 4-10 ms
- Complex templates with loops: 10-20 ms
- Always fast (template is pre-compiled)

## Performance Characteristics

### Caching Strategy

All three renderers use LRU (Least Recently Used) caching:

- Cache Size: 100 entries per renderer
- Cache Key: SHA256 hash of (content + context)
- Cache Hit: Typically < 5 ms
- Cache Miss: Language-dependent (20-60 ms)

To maximize cache hits:

1. Render the same config multiple times → hits after first render
2. Use static content when possible → better cache reuse
3. Monitor cache hit ratio via `/config/stats`

### Benchmarks

Comparison of rendering times (on commodity hardware):

Scenario | Nickel | Tera
--- | --- | ---
Simple config (10 vars) | 30 ms | 5 ms
Medium config (50 vars) | 45 ms | 8 ms
Large config (100+ vars) | 50-80 ms | 10 ms
Cached render | 1-5 ms | 1-5 ms

### Memory Usage

- Each renderer keeps 100 cached entries in memory
- Average config size in cache: ~5 KB
- Maximum memory per renderer: ~500 KB + overhead

## Error Handling

### Common Errors

#### Nickel Binary Not Found

Error Response:

    {
      "rendered": null,
      "error": "Nickel binary not found in PATH. Install Nickel or set NICKEL_PATH environment variable",
      "language": "nickel",
      "execution_time_ms": 0
    }

Solution:

    # Install Nickel
    nickel version

    # Or set explicit path
    export NICKEL_PATH=/usr/local/bin/nickel

#### Invalid Nickel Syntax

Error Response:

    {
      "rendered": null,
      "error": "Nickel evaluation failed: Type mismatch at line 3: expected String, got Number",
      "language": "nickel",
      "execution_time_ms": 12
    }

Solution: Verify Nickel syntax. Run `nickel typecheck file.ncl` directly for better error messages.

#### Missing Context Variable

Error Response:

    {
      "rendered": null,
      "error": "Nickel evaluation failed: undefined variable 'required_var'",
      "language": "nickel",
      "execution_time_ms": 8
    }

Solution: Provide required context variables or define fields with default values.

#### Invalid JSON in Context

HTTP Status: `400 Bad Request` Body: Error message about invalid JSON

Solution: Ensure context is valid JSON.

## Integration Examples

### Using with Nushell

    # Render a Nickel config from Nushell
    let config = open workspace/config/provisioning.ncl | into string
    let response = curl -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d $"{{ language: \"nickel\", content: $config }}" | from json

    print $response.rendered

### Using with Python

    import requests
    import json

    def render_config(language, content, context=None, name=None):
        payload = {
            "language": language,
            "content": content,
            "context": context or {},
            "name": name
        }

        response = requests.post(
            "http://localhost:9091/config/render",
            json=payload
        )

        return response.json()

    # Example usage
    result = render_config(
        "nickel",
        '{name = "server", cpu = 4}',
        {"name": "prod-server"},
        "my-config"
    )

    if result["error"]:
        print(f"Error: {result['error']}")
    else:
        print(f"Rendered in {result['execution_time_ms']}ms")
        print(result["rendered"])

### Using with Curl

    #!/bin/bash

    # Function to render config
    render_config() {
        local language=$1
        local content=$2
        local name=${3:-"unnamed"}

        curl -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            -d @- << EOF
    {
      "language": "$language",
      "content": $(echo "$content" | jq -Rs .),
      "name": "$name"
    }
    EOF
    }

    # Usage
    render_config "nickel" "{name = \"my-server\"}"  "server-config"

## Troubleshooting

### Daemon Won’t Start

Check log level:

    PROVISIONING_LOG_LEVEL=debug ./target/release/cli-daemon

Verify Nushell binary:

    which nu
    # or set explicit path
    NUSHELL_PATH=/usr/local/bin/nu ./target/release/cli-daemon

### Very Slow Rendering

Check cache hit rate:

    curl http://localhost:9091/config/stats | jq '.nickel_cache_hits / .nickel_renders'

If low cache hit rate: Rendering same configs repeatedly?

Monitor execution time:

    curl http://localhost:9091/config/render ... | jq '.execution_time_ms'

### Rendering Hangs

Set timeout (depends on client):

    curl --max-time 10 -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render ...

Check daemon logs for stuck processes.

### Out of Memory

Reduce cache size (rebuild with modified config) or restart daemon.

## Best Practices

1. Choose right language for task:

   - Nickel: Large configs with lazy evaluation, type-safe infrastructure definitions
   - Tera: Simple templating, fastest for rendering

2. Use context variables instead of hardcoding values:

       "context": {
         "environment": "production",
         "replica_count": 3
       }

3. Monitor statistics to understand performance:

       watch -n 1 'curl -s http://localhost:9091/config/stats | jq'

4. Cache warming: Pre-render common configs on startup

5. Error handling: Always check `error` field in response

        "content": "...",
        "context": {...},
        "name": "optional-name"
      }'

### Quick Examples

      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "language": "tera",
        "content": "{% for task in tasks %}{{ task }}\n{% endfor %}",
        "context": {"tasks": ["kubernetes", "postgres", "redis"]}
      }'

### Statistics

    # Get stats
    curl http://localhost:9091/config/stats

    # Reset stats
    curl -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/stats/reset

    # Watch stats in real-time
    watch -n 1 'curl -s http://localhost:9091/config/stats | jq'

### Performance Guide

Language | Cold | Cached | Use Case
--- | --- | --- | ---
Nickel | 30-60 ms | 1-5 ms | Type-safe configs, lazy evaluation
Tera | 5-20 ms | 1-5 ms | Simple templating

### Status Codes

Code | Meaning
--- | ---
200 | Success (check `error` field for evaluation errors)
400 | Invalid request
500 | Daemon error

### Response Fields

    {
      "rendered": "...output or null on error",
      "error": "...error message or null on success",
      "language": "nickel|tera",
      "execution_time_ms": 23
    }

### Languages Comparison

#### Nickel

    {
      name = "server",
      type = "web",
      cpu = 4,
      memory = 8192,
      tags = {
        env = "prod",
        team = "platform"
      }
    }

Pros: Lazy evaluation, functional style, compact Cons: Different paradigm, smaller ecosystem

#### Tera

    Server: {{ name }}
    Type: {{ type | upper }}
    {% for tag_name, tag_value in tags %}
    - {{ tag_name }}: {{ tag_value }}
    {% endfor %}

Pros: Fast, simple, familiar template syntax Cons: No validation, template-only

### Caching

How it works: SHA256(content + context) → cached result

Cache hit: < 5 ms Cache miss: 20-60 ms (language dependent) Cache size: 100 entries per language

Cache stats:

    curl -s http://localhost:9091/config/stats | jq '{
      nickel_cache_hits: .nickel_cache_hits,
      nickel_renders: .nickel_renders,
      nickel_hit_ratio: (.nickel_cache_hits / .nickel_renders * 100)
    }'

### Common Tasks

#### Batch Rendering

    #!/bin/bash
    for config in configs/*.ncl; do
      curl -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -d "$(jq -n --arg content \"$(cat $config)\" \
          '{language: "nickel", content: $content}')"
    done

#### Validate Before Rendering

    # Nickel validation
    nickel typecheck my-config.ncl

    # Daemon validation (via first render)
    curl ... # catches errors in response

#### Monitor Cache Performance

    #!/bin/bash
    while true; do
      STATS=$(curl -s http://localhost:9091/config/stats)
      HIT_RATIO=$( echo "$STATS" | jq '.nickel_cache_hits / .nickel_renders * 100')
      echo "Cache hit ratio: ${HIT_RATIO}%"
      sleep 5
    done

### Error Examples

#### Missing Binary

    {
      "error": "Nickel binary not found. Install Nickel or set NICKEL_PATH",
      "rendered": null
    }

Fix: `export NICKEL_PATH=/path/to/nickel` or install Nickel

#### Syntax Error

    {
      "error": "Nickel type checking failed: Type mismatch at line 3",
      "rendered": null
    }

Fix: Check Nickel syntax, run `nickel typecheck file.ncl` directly

### Integration Quick Start

#### Nushell

    use lib_provisioning

    let config = open server.ncl | into string
    let result = (curl -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d {language: "nickel", content: $config} | from json)

    if ($result.error != null) {
      error $result.error
    } else {
      print $result.rendered
    }

#### Python

    import requests

    resp = requests.post("http://localhost:9091/config/render", json={
        "language": "nickel",
        "content": '{name = "server"}',
        "context": {}
    })
    result = resp.json()
    print(result["rendered"] if not result["error"] else f"Error: {result['error']}")

#### Bash

    render() {
      curl -s -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -d "$1" | jq '.'
    }

    # Usage
    render '{"language":"nickel","content":"{name = \"server\"}"}'

### Environment Variables

    # Daemon configuration
    PROVISIONING_LOG_LEVEL=debug        # Log level
    DAEMON_BIND=127.0.0.1:9091         # Bind address
    NUSHELL_PATH=/usr/local/bin/nu      # Nushell binary
    NICKEL_PATH=/usr/local/bin/nickel   # Nickel binary

### Useful Commands

    # Health check
    curl http://localhost:9091/health

    # Daemon info
    curl http://localhost:9091/info

    # View stats
    curl http://localhost:9091/config/stats | jq '.'

    # Pretty print stats
    curl -s http://localhost:9091/config/stats | jq '{
      total: .total_renders,
      success_rate: (.successful_renders / .total_renders * 100),
      avg_time: .average_time_ms,
      cache_hit_rate: ((.nickel_cache_hits + .tera_cache_hits) / (.nickel_renders + .tera_renders) * 100)
    }'

### Troubleshooting Checklist

- Daemon running? `curl http://localhost:9091/health`
- Correct content for language?
- Valid JSON in context?
- Nickel or Tera binary available?
- Check log level? `PROVISIONING_LOG_LEVEL=debug`
- Cache hit rate? `/config/stats`
- Error in response? Check `error` field

## Understanding Configuration Sections

### Core System Configuration

    [core]
    version = "1.0.0"           # System version
    name = "provisioning"       # System identifier

### Path Configuration

The most critical configuration section that defines where everything is located:

    [paths]
    # Base directory - all other paths derive from this
    base = "/usr/local/provisioning"

    # Derived paths (usually don't need to change these)
    kloud = "{{paths.base}}/infra"
    providers = "{{paths.base}}/providers"
    taskservs = "{{paths.base}}/taskservs"
    clusters = "{{paths.base}}/cluster"
    resources = "{{paths.base}}/resources"
    templates = "{{paths.base}}/templates"
    tools = "{{paths.base}}/tools"
    core = "{{paths.base}}/core"

    [paths.files]
    # Important file locations
    settings_file = "settings.ncl"
    keys = "{{paths.base}}/keys.yaml"
    requirements = "{{paths.base}}/requirements.yaml"

### Debug and Logging

    [debug]
    enabled = false             # Enable debug mode
    metadata = false           # Show internal metadata
    check = false              # Default to check mode (dry run)
    remote = false            # Enable remote debugging
    log_level = "info"        # Logging verbosity
    no_terminal = false       # Disable terminal features

### Output Configuration

    [output]
    file_viewer = "less"       # File viewer command
    format = "yaml"           # Default output format (json, yaml, toml, text)

### Provider Configuration

    [providers]
    default = "local"         # Default provider

    [providers.aws]
    api_url = ""              # AWS API endpoint (blank = default)
    auth = ""                 # Authentication method
    interface = "CLI"         # Interface type (CLI or API)

    [providers.upcloud]
    api_url = "https://api.upcloud.com/1.3"
    auth = ""
    interface = "CLI"

    [providers.local]
    api_url = ""
    auth = ""
    interface = "CLI"

### Encryption (SOPS) Configuration

    [sops]
    use_sops = true           # Enable SOPS encryption
    config_path = "{{paths.base}}/.sops.yaml"

    # Search paths for Age encryption keys
    key_search_paths = [
        "{{paths.base}}/keys/age.txt",
        "~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt"
    ]

## Configuration Interpolation

The system supports powerful interpolation patterns for dynamic configuration values.

### Basic Interpolation Patterns

#### Path Interpolation

    # Reference other path values
    templates = "{{paths.base}}/my-templates"
    custom_path = "{{paths.providers}}/custom"

#### Environment Variable Interpolation

    # Access environment variables
    user_home = "{{env.HOME}}"
    current_user = "{{env.USER}}"
    custom_path = "{{env.CUSTOM_PATH || /default/path}}"  # With fallback

#### Date/Time Interpolation

    # Dynamic date/time values
    log_file = "{{paths.base}}/logs/app-{{now.date}}.log"
    backup_dir = "{{paths.base}}/backups/{{now.timestamp}}"

#### Git Information Interpolation

    # Git repository information
    deployment_branch = "{{git.branch}}"
    version_tag = "{{git.tag}}"
    commit_hash = "{{git.commit}}"

#### Cross-Section References

    # Reference values from other sections
    database_host = "{{providers.aws.database_endpoint}}"
    api_key = "{{sops.decrypted_key}}"

### Advanced Interpolation

#### Function Calls

    # Built-in functions
    config_path = "{{path.join(env.HOME, .config, provisioning)}}"
    safe_name = "{{str.lower(str.replace(project.name, ' ', '-'))}}"

#### Conditional Expressions

    # Conditional logic
    debug_level = "{{debug.enabled && 'debug' || 'info'}}"
    storage_path = "{{env.STORAGE_PATH || path.join(paths.base, 'storage')}}"

### Interpolation Examples

    [paths]
    base = "/opt/provisioning"
    workspace = "{{env.HOME}}/provisioning-workspace"
    current_project = "{{paths.workspace}}/{{env.PROJECT_NAME || 'default'}}"

    [deployment]
    environment = "{{env.DEPLOY_ENV || 'development'}}"
    timestamp = "{{now.iso8601}}"
    version = "{{git.tag || git.commit}}"

    [database]
    connection_string = "postgresql://{{env.DB_USER}}:{{env.DB_PASS}}@{{env.DB_HOST || 'localhost'}}/{{env.DB_NAME}}"

    [notifications]
    slack_channel = "#{{env.TEAM_NAME || 'general'}}-notifications"
    email_subject = "Deployment {{deployment.environment}} - {{deployment.timestamp}}"

## Environment-Specific Configuration

### Environment Detection

The system automatically detects the environment using:

1. PROVISIONING_ENV environment variable
2. Git branch patterns (dev, staging, main/master)
3. Directory patterns (development, staging, production)
4. Explicit configuration

### Environment Configuration Files

Create environment-specific configurations:

#### Development Environment (`config.dev.toml`)

    [core]
    name = "provisioning-dev"

    [debug]
    enabled = true
    log_level = "debug"
    metadata = true

    [providers]
    default = "local"

    [cache]
    enabled = false  # Disable caching for development

    [notifications]
    enabled = false  # No notifications in dev

#### Testing Environment (`config.test.toml`)

    [core]
    name = "provisioning-test"

    [debug]
    enabled = true
    check = true     # Default to check mode in testing
    log_level = "info"

    [providers]
    default = "local"

    [infrastructure]
    auto_cleanup = true  # Clean up test resources
    resource_prefix = "test-{{git.branch}}-"

#### Production Environment (`config.prod.toml`)

    [core]
    name = "provisioning-prod"

    [debug]
    enabled = false
    log_level = "warn"

    [providers]
    default = "aws"

    [security]
    require_approval = true
    audit_logging = true
    encrypt_backups = true

    [notifications]
    enabled = true
    critical_only = true

### Environment Switching

    # Set environment for session
    export PROVISIONING_ENV=dev
    provisioning env

    # Use environment for single command
    provisioning --environment prod server create

    # Switch environment permanently
    provisioning env set prod

## User Configuration Customization

### Creating Your User Configuration

    # Initialize user configuration from template
    provisioning init config

    # Or copy and customize
    cp config-examples/config.user.toml ~/.config/provisioning/config.toml

### Common User Customizations

#### Developer Setup

    [paths]
    base = "/Users/alice/dev/provisioning"

    [debug]
    enabled = true
    log_level = "debug"

    [providers]
    default = "local"

    [output]
    format = "json"
    file_viewer = "code"

    [sops]
    key_search_paths = [
        "/Users/alice/.config/sops/age/keys.txt"
    ]

#### Operations Engineer Setup

    [paths]
    base = "/opt/provisioning"

    [debug]
    enabled = false
    log_level = "info"

    [providers]
    default = "aws"

    [output]
    format = "yaml"

    [notifications]
    enabled = true
    email = "ops-team@company.com"

#### Team Lead Setup

    [paths]
    base = "/home/teamlead/provisioning"

    [debug]
    enabled = true
    metadata = true
    log_level = "info"

    [providers]
    default = "upcloud"

    [security]
    require_confirmation = true
    audit_logging = true

    [sops]
    key_search_paths = [
        "/secure/keys/team-lead.txt",
        "~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt"
    ]

## Project-Specific Configuration

### Project Configuration File (`provisioning.toml`)

    [project]
    name = "web-application"
    description = "Main web application infrastructure"
    version = "2.1.0"
    team = "platform-team"

    [paths]
    # Project-specific path overrides
    infra = "./infrastructure"
    templates = "./custom-templates"

    [defaults]
    # Project defaults
    provider = "aws"
    region = "us-west-2"
    environment = "development"

    [cost_controls]
    max_monthly_budget = 5000.00
    alert_threshold = 0.8

    [compliance]
    required_tags = ["team", "environment", "cost-center"]
    encryption_required = true
    backup_required = true

    [notifications]
    slack_webhook = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/..."
    team_email = "platform-team@company.com"

### Infrastructure-Specific Configuration (`.provisioning.toml`)

    [infrastructure]
    name = "production-web-app"
    environment = "production"
    region = "us-west-2"

    [overrides]
    # Infrastructure-specific overrides
    debug.enabled = false
    debug.log_level = "error"
    cache.enabled = true

    [scaling]
    auto_scaling_enabled = true
    min_instances = 3
    max_instances = 20

    [security]
    vpc_id = "vpc-12345678"
    subnet_ids = ["subnet-12345678", "subnet-87654321"]
    security_group_id = "sg-12345678"

    [monitoring]
    enabled = true
    retention_days = 90
    alerting_enabled = true

## Configuration Validation

### Built-in Validation

    # Validate current configuration
    provisioning validate config

    # Detailed validation with warnings
    provisioning validate config --detailed

    # Strict validation mode
    provisioning validate config strict

    # Validate specific environment
    provisioning validate config --environment prod

### Custom Validation Rules

Create custom validation in your configuration:

    [validation]
    # Custom validation rules
    required_sections = ["paths", "providers", "debug"]
    required_env_vars = ["AWS_REGION", "PROJECT_NAME"]
    forbidden_values = ["password123", "admin"]

    [validation.paths]
    # Path validation rules
    base_must_exist = true
    writable_required = ["paths.base", "paths.cache"]

    [validation.security]
    # Security validation
    require_encryption = true
    min_key_length = 32

## Troubleshooting Configuration

### Common Configuration Issues

#### Issue 1: Path Not Found Errors

    # Problem: Base path doesn't exist
    # Check current configuration
    provisioning env | grep paths.base

    # Verify path exists
    ls -la /path/shown/above

    # Fix: Update user config
    nano ~/.config/provisioning/config.toml
    # Set correct paths.base = "/correct/path"

#### Issue 2: Interpolation Failures

    # Problem: {{env.VARIABLE}} not resolving
    # Check environment variables
    env | grep VARIABLE

    # Check interpolation
    provisioning validate interpolation test

    # Debug interpolation
    provisioning --debug validate interpolation validate

#### Issue 3: SOPS Encryption Errors

    # Problem: Cannot decrypt SOPS files
    # Check SOPS configuration
    provisioning sops config

    # Verify key files
    ls -la ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt

    # Test decryption
    sops -d encrypted-file.ncl

#### Issue 4: Provider Authentication

    # Problem: Provider authentication failed
    # Check provider configuration
    provisioning show providers

    # Test provider connection
    provisioning provider test aws

    # Verify credentials
    aws configure list  # For AWS

### Configuration Debugging

    # Show current configuration hierarchy
    provisioning config show --hierarchy

    # Show configuration sources
    provisioning config sources

    # Show interpolated values
    provisioning config interpolated

    # Debug specific section
    provisioning config debug paths
    provisioning config debug providers

### Configuration Reset

    # Reset to defaults
    provisioning config reset

    # Reset specific section
    provisioning config reset providers

    # Backup current config before reset
    provisioning config backup

## Advanced Configuration Patterns

### Dynamic Configuration Loading

    [dynamic]
    # Load configuration from external sources
    config_urls = [
        "https://config.company.com/provisioning/base.toml",
        "file:///etc/provisioning/shared.toml"
    ]

    # Conditional configuration loading
    load_if_exists = [
        "./local-overrides.toml",
        "../shared/team-config.toml"
    ]

### Configuration Templating

    [templates]
    # Template-based configuration
    base_template = "aws-web-app"
    template_vars = {
        region = "us-west-2"
        instance_type = "t3.medium"
        team_name = "platform"
    }

    # Template inheritance
    extends = ["base-web", "monitoring", "security"]

### Multi-Region Configuration

    [regions]
    primary = "us-west-2"
    secondary = "us-east-1"

    [regions.us-west-2]
    providers.aws.region = "us-west-2"
    availability_zones = ["us-west-2a", "us-west-2b", "us-west-2c"]

    [regions.us-east-1]
    providers.aws.region = "us-east-1"
    availability_zones = ["us-east-1a", "us-east-1b", "us-east-1c"]

### Configuration Profiles

    [profiles]
    active = "development"

    [profiles.development]
    debug.enabled = true
    providers.default = "local"
    cost_controls.enabled = false

    [profiles.staging]
    debug.enabled = true
    providers.default = "aws"
    cost_controls.max_budget = 1000.00

    [profiles.production]
    debug.enabled = false
    providers.default = "aws"
    security.strict_mode = true

## Configuration Management Best Practices

### 1. Version Control

    # Track configuration changes
    git add provisioning.toml
    git commit -m "feat(config): add production settings"

    # Use branches for configuration experiments
    git checkout -b config/new-provider

### 2. Documentation

    # Document your configuration choices
    [paths]
    # Using custom base path for team shared installation
    base = "/opt/team-provisioning"

    [debug]
    # Debug enabled for troubleshooting infrastructure issues
    enabled = true
    log_level = "debug"  # Temporary while debugging network problems

### 3. Validation

    # Always validate before committing
    provisioning validate config
    git add . && git commit -m "update config"

### 4. Backup

    # Regular configuration backups
    provisioning config export --format yaml > config-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).yaml

    # Automated backup script
    echo '0 2 * * * provisioning config export > ~/backups/config-$(date +\%Y\%m\%d).yaml' | crontab -

### 5. Security

- Never commit sensitive values in plain text
- Use SOPS for encrypting secrets
- Rotate encryption keys regularly
- Audit configuration access

    # Encrypt sensitive configuration
    sops -e settings.ncl > settings.encrypted.ncl

    # Audit configuration changes
    git log -p -- provisioning.toml

## Configuration Migration

### Migrating from Environment Variables

    # Old: Environment variables
    export PROVISIONING_DEBUG=true
    export PROVISIONING_PROVIDER=aws

    # New: Configuration file
    [debug]
    enabled = true

    [providers]
    default = "aws"

### Upgrading Configuration Format

    # Check for configuration updates needed
    provisioning config check-version

    # Migrate to new format
    provisioning config migrate --from 1.0 --to 2.0

    # Validate migrated configuration
    provisioning validate config

## Next Steps

Now that you understand the configuration system:

1. Create your user configuration: `provisioning init config`
2. Set up environment-specific configs for your workflow
3. Learn CLI commands: CLI Reference
4. Practice with examples: Examples and Tutorials
5. Troubleshoot issues: Troubleshooting Guide

You now have complete control over how provisioning behaves in your environment!

# Workspace Setup Guide

This guide shows you how to set up a new infrastructure workspace with Nickel-based configuration and auto-generated documentation.

## Quick Start

### 1. Create a New Workspace (Automatic)

    # Interactive workspace creation with prompts
    provisioning workspace init

    # Or non-interactive with explicit path
    provisioning workspace init my_workspace /path/to/my_workspace

When you run `provisioning workspace init`, the system automatically:

- ✅ Creates Nickel-based configuration (`config/config.ncl`)
- ✅ Sets up infrastructure directories with Nickel files (`infra/default/`)
- ✅ Generates 4 workspace guides (deployment, configuration, troubleshooting, README)
- ✅ Configures local provider as default
- ✅ Creates .gitignore for workspace

### 2. Workspace Structure (Auto-Generated)

After running `workspace init`, your workspace has this structure:

    my_workspace/
    ├── config/
    │   ├── config.ncl              # Master Nickel configuration
    │   ├── providers/
    │   └── platform/
    │
    ├── infra/
    │   └── default/
    │       ├── main.ncl            # Infrastructure definition
    │       └── servers.ncl         # Server configurations
    │
    ├── docs/                       # ✨ AUTO-GENERATED GUIDES
    │   ├── README.md              # Workspace overview & quick start
    │   ├── deployment-guide.md    # Step-by-step deployment
    │   ├── configuration-guide.md # Configuration reference
    │   └── troubleshooting.md     # Common issues & solutions
    │
    ├── .providers/                # Provider state & cache
    ├── .kms/                      # KMS data
    ├── .provisioning/             # Workspace metadata
    └── workspace.nu              # Utility scripts

### 3. Understanding Nickel Configuration

The `config/config.ncl` file is the master configuration for your workspace:

    {
      workspace = {
        name = "my_workspace",
        path = "/path/to/my_workspace",
        description = "Workspace: my_workspace",
        metadata = {
          owner = "your_username",
          created = "2025-01-07T19:30:00Z",
          environment = "development",
        },
      },

      providers = {
        local = {
          name = "local",
          enabled = true,
          workspace = "my_workspace",
          auth = { interface = "local" },
          paths = {
            base = ".providers/local",
            cache = ".providers/local/cache",
            state = ".providers/local/state",
          },
        },
      },
    }

### 4. Auto-Generated Documentation

Every workspace gets 4 auto-generated guides tailored to your specific configuration:

README.md - Overview with workspace structure and quick start deployment-guide.md - Step-by-step deployment instructions for your infrastructure configuration-guide.md - Configuration reference specific to your workspace troubleshooting.md - Common issues and solutions for your setup

These guides are automatically generated based on your workspace’s:

- Configured providers
- Infrastructure definitions
- Server configurations
- Taskservs and services

### 5. Customize Your Workspace

After creation, edit the Nickel configuration files:

    # Edit master configuration
    vim config/config.ncl

    # Edit infrastructure definition
    vim infra/default/main.ncl

    # Edit server definitions
    vim infra/default/servers.ncl

    # Validate Nickel syntax
    nickel typecheck config/config.ncl

## Next Steps After Workspace Creation

### 1. Read Your Auto-Generated Documentation

Each workspace gets 4 auto-generated guides in the `docs/` directory:

    cd my_workspace

    # Overview and quick start
    cat docs/README.md

    # Step-by-step deployment
    cat docs/deployment-guide.md

    # Configuration reference
    cat docs/configuration-guide.md

    # Common issues and solutions
    cat docs/troubleshooting.md

### 2. Customize Your Configuration

Edit the Nickel configuration files to suit your needs:

    # Master configuration (providers, settings)
    vim config/config.ncl

    # Infrastructure definition
    vim infra/default/main.ncl

    # Server configurations
    vim infra/default/servers.ncl

### 3. Validate Your Configuration

    # Check Nickel syntax
    nickel typecheck config/config.ncl
    nickel typecheck infra/default/main.ncl

    # Validate with provisioning system
    provisioning validate config

### 4. Add Multiple Infrastructures

To add more infrastructure environments:

    # Create new infrastructure directory
    mkdir infra/production
    mkdir infra/staging

    # Create Nickel files for each infrastructure
    cp infra/default/main.ncl infra/production/main.ncl
    cp infra/default/servers.ncl infra/production/servers.ncl

    # Edit them for your specific needs
    vim infra/production/servers.ncl

### 5. Configure Providers

To use cloud providers (UpCloud, AWS, etc.), update `config/config.ncl`:

    providers = {
      upcloud = {
        name = "upcloud",
        enabled = true,              # Set to true to enable
        workspace = "my_workspace",
        auth = { interface = "API" },
        paths = {
          base = ".providers/upcloud",
          cache = ".providers/upcloud/cache",
          state = ".providers/upcloud/state",
        },
        api = {
          url = "https://api.upcloud.com/1.3",
          timeout = 30,
        },
      },
    }

## Workspace Management Commands

### List Workspaces

    provisioning workspace list

### Activate a Workspace

    provisioning workspace activate my_workspace

### Show Active Workspace

    provisioning workspace active

### Deploy Infrastructure

    # Dry-run first (check mode)
    provisioning -c server create

    # Actually create servers
    provisioning server create

    # List created servers
    provisioning server list

## Troubleshooting

### Invalid Nickel Syntax

    # Check syntax
    nickel typecheck config/config.ncl

    # Example error and solution
    Error: Type checking failed
    Solution: Fix the syntax error shown and retry

### Configuration Issues

Refer to the auto-generated `docs/troubleshooting.md` in your workspace for:

- Authentication & credentials issues
- Server deployment problems
- Configuration validation errors
- Network connectivity issues
- Performance issues

# Workspace Switching Guide

Version: 1.0.0 Date: 2025-10-06 Status: ✅ Production Ready

## Overview

The provisioning system now includes a centralized workspace management system that allows you to easily switch between multiple workspaces without manually editing configuration files.

## Quick Start

### List Available Workspaces

    provisioning workspace list
    ```bash

    Output:

    ```plaintext
    Registered Workspaces:

      ● librecloud
          Path: /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/workspace_librecloud
          Last used: 2025-10-06T12:29:43Z

        production
          Path: /opt/workspaces/production
          Last used: 2025-10-05T10:15:30Z
    ```bash

    The green ● indicates the currently active workspace.

    ### Check Active Workspace

    ```bash
    provisioning workspace active
    ```bash

    Output:

    ```plaintext
    Active Workspace:
      Name: librecloud
      Path: /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/workspace_librecloud
      Last used: 2025-10-06T12:29:43Z
    ```bash

    ### Switch to Another Workspace

    ```bash
    # Option 1: Using activate
    provisioning workspace activate production

    # Option 2: Using switch (alias)
    provisioning workspace switch production
    ```bash

    Output:

    ```plaintext
    ✓ Workspace 'production' activated

    Current workspace: production
    Path: /opt/workspaces/production

    ℹ All provisioning commands will now use this workspace
    ```bash

    ### Register a New Workspace

    ```bash
    # Register without activating
    provisioning workspace register my-project ~/workspaces/my-project

    # Register and activate immediately
    provisioning workspace register my-project ~/workspaces/my-project --activate
    ```bash

    ### Remove Workspace from Registry

    ```bash
    # With confirmation prompt
    provisioning workspace remove old-workspace

    # Skip confirmation
    provisioning workspace remove old-workspace --force
    ```bash

    **Note**: This only removes the workspace from the registry. The workspace files are NOT deleted.

    ## Architecture

    ### Central User Configuration

    All workspace information is stored in a central user configuration file:

    **Location**: `~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/user_config.yaml`

    **Structure**:

    ```yaml
    # Active workspace (current workspace in use)
    active_workspace: "librecloud"

    # Known workspaces (automatically managed)
    workspaces:
      - name: "librecloud"
        path: "/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/workspace_librecloud"
        last_used: "2025-10-06T12:29:43Z"

      - name: "production"
        path: "/opt/workspaces/production"
        last_used: "2025-10-05T10:15:30Z"

    # User preferences (global settings)
    preferences:
      editor: "vim"
      output_format: "yaml"
      confirm_delete: true
      confirm_deploy: true
      default_log_level: "info"
      preferred_provider: "upcloud"

    # Metadata
    metadata:
      created: "2025-10-06T12:29:43Z"
      last_updated: "2025-10-06T13:46:16Z"
      version: "1.0.0"
    ```bash

    ### How It Works

    1. **Workspace Registration**: When you register a workspace, it's added to the `workspaces` list in `user_config.yaml`

    2. **Activation**: When you activate a workspace:
       - `active_workspace` is updated to the workspace name
       - The workspace's `last_used` timestamp is updated
       - All provisioning commands now use this workspace's configuration

    3. **Configuration Loading**: The config loader reads `active_workspace` from `user_config.yaml` and loads:
       - `workspace_path/config/provisioning.yaml`
       - `workspace_path/config/providers/*.toml`
       - `workspace_path/config/platform/*.toml`
       - `workspace_path/config/kms.toml`

    ## Advanced Features

    ### User Preferences

    You can set global user preferences that apply across all workspaces:

    ```bash
    # Get a preference value
    provisioning workspace get-preference editor

    # Set a preference value
    provisioning workspace set-preference editor "code"

    # View all preferences
    provisioning workspace preferences
    ```bash

    **Available Preferences**:

    - `editor`: Default editor for config files (vim, code, nano, etc.)
    - `output_format`: Default output format (yaml, json, toml)
    - `confirm_delete`: Require confirmation for deletions (true/false)
    - `confirm_deploy`: Require confirmation for deployments (true/false)
    - `default_log_level`: Default log level (debug, info, warn, error)
    - `preferred_provider`: Preferred cloud provider (aws, upcloud, local)

    ### Output Formats

    List workspaces in different formats:

    ```bash
    # Table format (default)
    provisioning workspace list

    # JSON format
    provisioning workspace list --format json

    # YAML format
    provisioning workspace list --format yaml
    ```bash

    ### Quiet Mode

    Activate workspace without output messages:

    ```bash
    provisioning workspace activate production --quiet
    ```bash

    ## Workspace Requirements

    For a workspace to be activated, it must have:

    1. **Directory exists**: The workspace directory must exist on the filesystem

    2. **Config directory**: Must have a `config/` directory

       ```bash

       workspace_name/
       └── config/
           ├── provisioning.yaml  # Required
           ├── providers/         # Optional
           ├── platform/          # Optional
           └── kms.toml           # Optional

    ```bash

    3. **Main config file**: Must have `config/provisioning.yaml`

    If these requirements are not met, the activation will fail with helpful error messages:

    ```plaintext
    ✗ Workspace 'my-project' not found in registry
    💡 Available workspaces:
       [list of workspaces]
    💡 Register it first with: provisioning workspace register my-project <path>
    ```bash

    ```plaintext
    ✗ Workspace is not migrated to new config system
    💡 Missing: /path/to/workspace/config
    💡 Run migration: provisioning workspace migrate my-project
    ```bash

    ## Migration from Old System

    If you have workspaces using the old context system (`ws_{name}.yaml` files), they still work but you should register them in the new system:

    ```bash
    # Register existing workspace
    provisioning workspace register old-workspace ~/workspaces/old-workspace

    # Activate it
    provisioning workspace activate old-workspace
    ```bash

    The old `ws_{name}.yaml` files are still supported for backward compatibility, but the new centralized system is recommended.

    ## Best Practices

    ### 1. **One Active Workspace at a Time**

    Only one workspace can be active at a time. All provisioning commands use the active workspace's configuration.

    ### 2. **Use Descriptive Names**

    Use clear, descriptive names for your workspaces:

    ```bash
    # ✅ Good
    provisioning workspace register production-us-east ~/workspaces/prod-us-east
    provisioning workspace register dev-local ~/workspaces/dev

    # ❌ Avoid
    provisioning workspace register ws1 ~/workspaces/workspace1
    provisioning workspace register temp ~/workspaces/t
    ```bash

    ### 3. **Keep Workspaces Organized**

    Store all workspaces in a consistent location:

    ```bash
    ~/workspaces/
    ├── production/
    ├── staging/
    ├── development/
    └── testing/
    ```bash

    ### 4. **Regular Cleanup**

    Remove workspaces you no longer use:

    ```bash
    # List workspaces to see which ones are unused
    provisioning workspace list

    # Remove old workspace
    provisioning workspace remove old-workspace
    ```bash

    ### 5. **Backup User Config**

    Periodically backup your user configuration:

    ```bash
    cp "~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/user_config.yaml" \
       "~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/user_config.yaml.backup"
    ```bash

    ## Troubleshooting

    ### Workspace Not Found

    **Problem**: `✗ Workspace 'name' not found in registry`

    **Solution**: Register the workspace first:

    ```bash
    provisioning workspace register name /path/to/workspace
    ```bash

    ### Missing Configuration

    **Problem**: `✗ Missing workspace configuration`

    **Solution**: Ensure the workspace has a `config/provisioning.yaml` file. Run migration if needed:

    ```bash
    provisioning workspace migrate name
    ```bash

    ### Directory Not Found

    **Problem**: `✗ Workspace directory not found: /path/to/workspace`

    **Solution**:

    1. Check if the workspace was moved or deleted
    2. Update the path or remove from registry:

    ```bash
    provisioning workspace remove name
    provisioning workspace register name /new/path
    ```bash

    ### Corrupted User Config

    **Problem**: `Error: Failed to parse user config`

    **Solution**: The system automatically creates a backup and regenerates the config. Check:

    ```bash
    ls -la "~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/user_config.yaml"*
    ```bash

    Restore from backup if needed:

    ```bash
    cp "~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/user_config.yaml.backup.TIMESTAMP" \
       "~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/user_config.yaml"
    ```bash

    ## CLI Commands Reference

    | Command | Alias | Description |
    | --------- | ------- | ------------- |
    | `provisioning workspace activate <name>` | - | Activate a workspace |
    | `provisioning workspace switch <name>` | - | Alias for activate |
    | `provisioning workspace list` | - | List all registered workspaces |
    | `provisioning workspace active` | - | Show currently active workspace |
    | `provisioning workspace register <name> <path>` | - | Register a new workspace |
    | `provisioning workspace remove <name>` | - | Remove workspace from registry |
    | `provisioning workspace preferences` | - | Show user preferences |
    | `provisioning workspace set-preference <key> <value>` | - | Set a preference |
    | `provisioning workspace get-preference <key>` | - | Get a preference value |

    ## Integration with Config System

    The workspace switching system is fully integrated with the new target-based configuration system:

    ### Configuration Hierarchy (Priority: Low → High)

    ```plaintext
    1. Workspace config      workspace/{name}/config/provisioning.yaml
    2. Provider configs      workspace/{name}/config/providers/*.toml
    3. Platform configs      workspace/{name}/config/platform/*.toml
    4. User context          ~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/ws_{name}.yaml (legacy)
    5. User config           ~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/user_config.yaml (new)
    6. Environment variables PROVISIONING_*
    ```bash

    ### Example Workflow

    ```bash
    # 1. Create and activate development workspace
    provisioning workspace register dev ~/workspaces/dev --activate

    # 2. Work on development
    provisioning server create web-dev-01
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes

    # 3. Switch to production
    provisioning workspace switch production

    # 4. Deploy to production
    provisioning server create web-prod-01
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes

    # 5. Switch back to development
    provisioning workspace switch dev

    # All commands now use dev workspace config
    ```bash

    ## Nickel Workspace Configuration

    Starting with v3.7.0, workspaces use **Nickel** for type-safe, schema-validated configurations.

    ### Nickel Configuration Features

    **Nickel Configuration** (Type-Safe):

    ```nickel
    {
      workspace = {
        name = "myworkspace",
        version = "1.0.0",
      },
      paths = {
        base = "/path/to/workspace",
        infra = "/path/to/workspace/infra",
        config = "/path/to/workspace/config",
      },
    }
    ```bash

    ### Benefits of Nickel Configuration

    - ✅ **Type Safety**: Catch configuration errors at load time, not runtime
    - ✅ **Schema Validation**: Required fields, value constraints, format checking
    - ✅ **Lazy Evaluation**: Only computes what's needed
    - ✅ **Self-Documenting**: Records provide instant documentation
    - ✅ **Merging**: Powerful record merging for composition

    ### Viewing Workspace Configuration

    ```bash
    # View your Nickel workspace configuration
    provisioning workspace config show

    # View in different formats
    provisioning workspace config show --format=yaml    # YAML output
    provisioning workspace config show --format=json    # JSON output
    provisioning workspace config show --format=nickel  # Raw Nickel file

    # Validate configuration
    provisioning workspace config validate
    # Output: ✅ Validation complete - all configs are valid

    # Show configuration hierarchy
    provisioning workspace config hierarchy
    ```bash

# Workspace Switching System (v2.0.5)

## 🚀 Workspace Switching Completed (2025-10-02)

A centralized workspace management system has been implemented, allowing seamless switching between multiple workspaces without manually editing configuration files. This builds upon the target-based configuration system.

## Key Features

- Centralized Configuration: Single `user_config.yaml` file stores all workspace information
- Simple CLI Commands: Switch workspaces with a single command
- Active Workspace Tracking: Automatic tracking of currently active workspace
- Workspace Registry: Maintain list of all known workspaces
- User Preferences: Global user settings that apply across all workspaces
- Automatic Updates: Last-used timestamps and metadata automatically managed
- Validation: Ensures workspaces have required configuration before activation

## Workspace Management Commands

    # List all registered workspaces
    provisioning workspace list

    # Show currently active workspace
    provisioning workspace active

    # Switch to another workspace
    provisioning workspace activate <name>
    provisioning workspace switch <name>     # alias

    # Register a new workspace
    provisioning workspace register <name> <path> [--activate]

    # Remove workspace from registry (does not delete files)
    provisioning workspace remove <name> [--force]

    # View user preferences
    provisioning workspace preferences

    # Set user preference
    provisioning workspace set-preference <key> <value>

    # Get user preference
    provisioning workspace get-preference <key>

## Central User Configuration

Location: `~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/user_config.yaml`

Structure:

    # Active workspace (current workspace in use)
    active_workspace: "librecloud"

    # Known workspaces (automatically managed)
    workspaces:
      - name: "librecloud"
        path: "/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/workspace_librecloud"
        last_used: "2025-10-06T12:29:43Z"

      - name: "production"
        path: "/opt/workspaces/production"
        last_used: "2025-10-05T10:15:30Z"

    # User preferences (global settings)
    preferences:
      editor: "vim"
      output_format: "yaml"
      confirm_delete: true
      confirm_deploy: true
      default_log_level: "info"
      preferred_provider: "upcloud"

    # Metadata
    metadata:
      created: "2025-10-06T12:29:43Z"
      last_updated: "2025-10-06T13:46:16Z"
      version: "1.0.0"

## Usage Example

    # Start with workspace librecloud active
    $ provisioning workspace active
    Active Workspace:
      Name: librecloud
      Path: /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/workspace_librecloud
      Last used: 2025-10-06T13:46:16Z

    # List all workspaces (● indicates active)
    $ provisioning workspace list

    Registered Workspaces:

      ● librecloud
          Path: /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/workspace_librecloud
          Last used: 2025-10-06T13:46:16Z

        production
          Path: /opt/workspaces/production
          Last used: 2025-10-05T10:15:30Z

    # Switch to production
    $ provisioning workspace switch production
    ✓ Workspace 'production' activated

    Current workspace: production
    Path: /opt/workspaces/production

    ℹ All provisioning commands will now use this workspace

    # All subsequent commands use production workspace
    $ provisioning server list
    $ provisioning taskserv create kubernetes

## Integration with Config System

The workspace switching system integrates seamlessly with the configuration system:

1. Active Workspace Detection: Config loader reads `active_workspace` from `user_config.yaml`
2. Workspace Validation: Ensures workspace has required `config/provisioning.yaml`
3. Configuration Loading: Loads workspace-specific configs automatically
4. Automatic Timestamps: Updates `last_used` on workspace activation

Configuration Hierarchy (Priority: Low → High):

    1. Workspace config      workspace/{name}/config/provisioning.yaml
    2. Provider configs      workspace/{name}/config/providers/*.toml
    3. Platform configs      workspace/{name}/config/platform/*.toml
    4. User config           ~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/user_config.yaml
    5. Environment variables PROVISIONING_*

## Benefits

- ✅ No Manual Config Editing: Switch workspaces with single command
- ✅ Multiple Workspaces: Manage dev, staging, production simultaneously
- ✅ User Preferences: Global settings across all workspaces
- ✅ Automatic Tracking: Last-used timestamps, active workspace markers
- ✅ Safe Operations: Validation before activation, confirmation prompts
- ✅ Backward Compatible: Old `ws_{name}.yaml` files still supported

For more detailed information, see Workspace Switching Guide.

# Workspace Configuration Architecture

Version: 2.0.0 Date: 2025-10-06 Status: Implemented

## Overview

The provisioning system now uses a workspace-based configuration architecture where each workspace has its own complete configuration structure. This replaces the old ENV-based and template-only system.

## Critical Design Principle

`config.defaults.toml` is ONLY a template, NEVER loaded at runtime

This file exists solely as a reference template for generating workspace configurations. The system does NOT load it during operation.

## Configuration Hierarchy

Configuration is loaded in the following order (lowest to highest priority):

1. Workspace Config (Base): `{workspace}/config/provisioning.yaml`
2. Provider Configs: `{workspace}/config/providers/*.toml`
3. Platform Configs: `{workspace}/config/platform/*.toml`
4. User Context: `~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/ws_{name}.yaml`
5. Environment Variables: `PROVISIONING_*` (highest priority)

## Workspace Structure

When a workspace is initialized, the following structure is created:

    {workspace}/
    ├── config/
    │   ├── provisioning.yaml       # Main workspace config (generated from template)
    │   ├── providers/              # Provider-specific configs
    │   │   ├── aws.toml
    │   │   ├── local.toml
    │   │   └── upcloud.toml
    │   ├── platform/               # Platform service configs
    │   │   ├── orchestrator.toml
    │   │   └── mcp.toml
    │   └── kms.toml                # KMS configuration
    ├── infra/                      # Infrastructure definitions
    ├── .cache/                     # Cache directory
    ├── .runtime/                   # Runtime data
    │   ├── taskservs/
    │   └── clusters/
    ├── .providers/                 # Provider state
    ├── .kms/                       # Key management
    │   └── keys/
    ├── generated/                  # Generated files
    └── .gitignore                  # Workspace gitignore

## Template System

Templates are located at: `/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/config/templates/`

### Available Templates

1. workspace-provisioning.yaml.template - Main workspace configuration
2. provider-aws.toml.template - AWS provider configuration
3. provider-local.toml.template - Local provider configuration
4. provider-upcloud.toml.template - UpCloud provider configuration
5. kms.toml.template - KMS configuration
6. user-context.yaml.template - User context configuration

### Template Variables

Templates support the following interpolation variables:

- `{{workspace.name}}` - Workspace name
- `{{workspace.path}}` - Absolute path to workspace
- `{{now.iso}}` - Current timestamp in ISO format
- `{{env.HOME}}` - User’s home directory
- `{{env.*}}` - Environment variables (safe list only)
- `{{paths.base}}` - Base path (after config load)

## Workspace Initialization

### Command

    # Using the workspace init function
    nu -c "use provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/workspace/init.nu *; \
      workspace-init 'my-workspace' '/path/to/workspace' \
      --providers ['aws' 'local'] --activate"

### Process

1. Create Directory Structure: All necessary directories
2. Generate Config from Template: Creates `config/provisioning.yaml`
3. Generate Provider Configs: For each specified provider
4. Generate KMS Config: Security configuration
5. Create User Context (if –activate): User-specific overrides
6. Create .gitignore: Ignore runtime/cache files

## User Context

User context files are stored per workspace:

Location: `~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/ws_{workspace_name}.yaml`

### Purpose

- Store user-specific overrides (debug settings, output preferences)
- Mark active workspace
- Override workspace paths if needed

### Example

    workspace:
      name: "my-workspace"
      path: "/path/to/my-workspace"
      active: true

    debug:
      enabled: true
      log_level: "debug"

    output:
      format: "json"

    providers:
      default: "aws"

## Configuration Loading Process

### 1. Determine Active Workspace

    # Check user config directory for active workspace
    let user_config_dir = ~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/
    let active_workspace = (find workspace with active: true in ws_*.yaml files)

### 2. Load Workspace Config

    # Load main workspace config
    let workspace_config = {workspace.path}/config/provisioning.yaml

### 3. Load Provider Configs

    # Merge all provider configs
    for provider in {workspace.path}/config/providers/*.toml {
      merge provider config
    }

### 4. Load Platform Configs

    # Merge all platform configs
    for platform in {workspace.path}/config/platform/*.toml {
      merge platform config
    }

### 5. Apply User Context

    # Apply user-specific overrides
    let user_context = ~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/ws_{name}.yaml
    merge user_context (highest config priority)

### 6. Apply Environment Variables

    # Final overrides from environment
    PROVISIONING_DEBUG=true
    PROVISIONING_LOG_LEVEL=debug
    PROVISIONING_PROVIDER=aws
    # etc.

## Migration from Old System

### Before (ENV-based)

    export PROVISIONING=/usr/local/provisioning
    export PROVISIONING_INFRA_PATH=/path/to/infra
    export PROVISIONING_DEBUG=true
    # ... many ENV variables

### After (Workspace-based)

    # Initialize workspace
    workspace-init "production" "/workspaces/prod" --providers ["aws"] --activate

    # All config is now in workspace
    # No ENV variables needed (except for overrides)

### Breaking Changes

1. `config.defaults.toml` NOT loaded - Only used as template
2. Workspace required - Must have active workspace or be in workspace directory
3. New config locations - User config in `~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/`
4. YAML main config - `provisioning.yaml` instead of TOML

## Workspace Management Commands

### Initialize Workspace

    use provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/workspace/init.nu *
    workspace-init "my-workspace" "/path/to/workspace" --providers ["aws" "local"] --activate

### List Workspaces

    workspace-list

### Activate Workspace

    workspace-activate "my-workspace"

### Get Active Workspace

    workspace-get-active

## Implementation Files

### Core Files

1. Template Directory: `/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/config/templates/`
2. Workspace Init: `/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/workspace/init.nu`
3. Config Loader: `/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/config/loader.nu`

### Key Changes in Config Loader

#### Removed

- `get-defaults-config-path()` - No longer loads config.defaults.toml
- Old hierarchy with user/project/infra TOML files

#### Added

- `get-active-workspace()` - Finds active workspace from user config
- Support for YAML config files
- Provider and platform config merging
- User context loading

## Configuration Schema

### Main Workspace Config (provisioning.yaml)

    workspace:
      name: string
      version: string
      created: timestamp

    paths:
      base: string
      infra: string
      cache: string
      runtime: string
      # ... all paths

    core:
      version: string
      name: string

    debug:
      enabled: bool
      log_level: string
      # ... debug settings

    providers:
      active: [string]
      default: string

    # ... all other sections

### Provider Config (providers/*.toml)

    [provider]
    name = "aws"
    enabled = true
    workspace = "workspace-name"

    [provider.auth]
    profile = "default"
    region = "us-east-1"

    [provider.paths]
    base = "{workspace}/.providers/aws"
    cache = "{workspace}/.providers/aws/cache"

### User Context (ws_{name}.yaml)

    workspace:
      name: string
      path: string
      active: bool

    debug:
      enabled: bool
      log_level: string

    output:
      format: string

## Benefits

1. No Template Loading: config.defaults.toml is template-only
2. Workspace Isolation: Each workspace is self-contained
3. Explicit Configuration: No hidden defaults from ENV
4. Clear Hierarchy: Predictable override behavior
5. Multi-Workspace Support: Easy switching between workspaces
6. User Overrides: Per-workspace user preferences
7. Version Control: Workspace configs can be committed (except secrets)

## Security Considerations

### Generated .gitignore

The workspace .gitignore excludes:

- `.cache/` - Cache files
- `.runtime/` - Runtime data
- `.providers/` - Provider state
- `.kms/keys/` - Secret keys
- `generated/` - Generated files
- `*.log` - Log files

### Secret Management

- KMS keys stored in `.kms/keys/` (gitignored)
- SOPS config references keys, doesn’t store them
- Provider credentials in user-specific locations (not workspace)

## Troubleshooting

### No Active Workspace Error

    Error: No active workspace found. Please initialize or activate a workspace.

Solution: Initialize or activate a workspace:

    workspace-init "my-workspace" "/path/to/workspace" --activate

### Config File Not Found

    Error: Required configuration file not found: {workspace}/config/provisioning.yaml

Solution: The workspace config is corrupted or deleted. Re-initialize:

    workspace-init "workspace-name" "/existing/path" --providers ["aws"]

### Provider Not Configured

Solution: Add provider config to workspace:

    # Generate provider config manually
    generate-provider-config "/workspace/path" "workspace-name" "aws"

## Future Enhancements

1. Workspace Templates: Pre-configured workspace templates (dev, prod, test)
2. Workspace Import/Export: Share workspace configurations
3. Remote Workspace: Load workspace from remote Git repository
4. Workspace Validation: Comprehensive workspace health checks
5. Config Migration Tool: Automated migration from old ENV-based system

## Summary

- config.defaults.toml is ONLY a template - Never loaded at runtime
- Workspaces are self-contained - Complete config structure generated from templates
- New hierarchy: Workspace → Provider → Platform → User Context → ENV
- User context for overrides - Stored in ~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/
- Clear, explicit configuration - No hidden defaults

# Workspace Configuration Management Commands

## Overview

The workspace configuration management commands provide a comprehensive set of tools for viewing, editing, validating, and managing workspace configurations.

## Command Summary

Command | Description
--- | ---
`workspace config show` | Display workspace configuration
`workspace config validate` | Validate all configuration files
`workspace config generate provider` | Generate provider configuration from template
`workspace config edit` | Edit configuration files
`workspace config hierarchy` | Show configuration loading hierarchy
`workspace config list` | List all configuration files

## Commands

### Show Workspace Configuration

Display the complete workspace configuration in JSON, YAML, TOML, and other formats.

    # Show active workspace config (YAML format)
    provisioning workspace config show

    # Show specific workspace config
    provisioning workspace config show my-workspace

    # Show in JSON format
    provisioning workspace config show --out json

    # Show in TOML format
    provisioning workspace config show --out toml

    # Show specific workspace in JSON
    provisioning workspace config show my-workspace --out json

Output: Complete workspace configuration in the specified format

### Validate Workspace Configuration

Validate all configuration files for syntax and required sections.

    # Validate active workspace
    provisioning workspace config validate

    # Validate specific workspace
    provisioning workspace config validate my-workspace

Checks performed:

- Main config (`provisioning.yaml`) - YAML syntax and required sections
- Provider configs (`providers/*.toml`) - TOML syntax
- Platform service configs (`platform/*.toml`) - TOML syntax
- KMS config (`kms.toml`) - TOML syntax

Output: Validation report with success/error indicators

### Generate Provider Configuration

Generate a provider configuration file from a template.

    # Generate AWS provider config for active workspace
    provisioning workspace config generate provider aws

    # Generate UpCloud provider config for specific workspace
    provisioning workspace config generate provider upcloud --infra my-workspace

    # Generate local provider config
    provisioning workspace config generate provider local

What it does:

1. Locates provider template in `extensions/providers/{name}/config.defaults.toml`
2. Interpolates workspace-specific values (`{{workspace.name}}`, `{{workspace.path}}`)
3. Saves to `{workspace}/config/providers/{name}.toml`

Output: Generated configuration file ready for customization

### Edit Configuration Files

Open configuration files in your editor for modification.

    # Edit main workspace config
    provisioning workspace config edit main

    # Edit specific provider config
    provisioning workspace config edit provider aws

    # Edit platform service config
    provisioning workspace config edit platform orchestrator

    # Edit KMS config
    provisioning workspace config edit kms

    # Edit for specific workspace
    provisioning workspace config edit provider upcloud --infra my-workspace

Editor used: Value of `$EDITOR` environment variable (defaults to `vi`)

Config types:

- `main` - Main workspace configuration (`provisioning.yaml`)
- `provider <name>` - Provider configuration (`providers/{name}.toml`)
- `platform <name>` - Platform service configuration (`platform/{name}.toml`)
- `kms` - KMS configuration (`kms.toml`)

### Show Configuration Hierarchy

Display the configuration loading hierarchy and precedence.

    # Show hierarchy for active workspace
    provisioning workspace config hierarchy

    # Show hierarchy for specific workspace
    provisioning workspace config hierarchy my-workspace

Output: Visual hierarchy showing:

1. Environment Variables (highest priority)
2. User Context
3. Platform Services
4. Provider Configs
5. Workspace Config (lowest priority)

### List Configuration Files

List all configuration files for a workspace.

    # List all configs
    provisioning workspace config list

    # List only provider configs
    provisioning workspace config list --type provider

    # List only platform configs
    provisioning workspace config list --type platform

    # List only KMS config
    provisioning workspace config list --type kms

    # List for specific workspace
    provisioning workspace config list my-workspace --type all

Output: Table of configuration files with type, name, and path

## Workspace Selection

All config commands support two ways to specify the workspace:

1. Active Workspace (default):

       provisioning workspace config show

2. Specific Workspace (using `--infra` flag):

       provisioning workspace config show --infra my-workspace

## Configuration File Locations

Workspace configurations are organized in a standard structure:

    {workspace}/
    ├── config/
    │   ├── provisioning.yaml       # Main workspace config
    │   ├── providers/              # Provider configurations
    │   │   ├── aws.toml
    │   │   ├── upcloud.toml
    │   │   └── local.toml
    │   ├── platform/               # Platform service configs
    │   │   ├── orchestrator.toml
    │   │   ├── control-center.toml
    │   │   └── mcp.toml
    │   └── kms.toml                # KMS configuration

## Configuration Hierarchy

Configuration values are loaded in the following order (highest to lowest priority):

1. Environment Variables - `PROVISIONING_*` variables
2. User Context - `~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/ws_{name}.yaml`
3. Platform Services - `{workspace}/config/platform/*.toml`
4. Provider Configs - `{workspace}/config/providers/*.toml`
5. Workspace Config - `{workspace}/config/provisioning.yaml`

Higher priority values override lower priority values.

## Examples

### Complete Workflow

    # 1. Create new workspace with activation
    provisioning workspace init my-project ~/workspaces/my-project --providers [aws,local] --activate

    # 2. Validate configuration
    provisioning workspace config validate

    # 3. View configuration hierarchy
    provisioning workspace config hierarchy

    # 4. Generate additional provider config
    provisioning workspace config generate provider upcloud

    # 5. Edit provider settings
    provisioning workspace config edit provider upcloud

    # 6. List all configs
    provisioning workspace config list

    # 7. Show complete config in JSON
    provisioning workspace config show --out json

    # 8. Validate everything
    provisioning workspace config validate

### Multi-Workspace Management

    # Create multiple workspaces
    provisioning workspace init dev ~/workspaces/dev --activate
    provisioning workspace init staging ~/workspaces/staging
    provisioning workspace init prod ~/workspaces/prod

    # Validate specific workspace
    provisioning workspace config validate staging

    # Show config for production
    provisioning workspace config show prod --out yaml

    # Edit provider for specific workspace
    provisioning workspace config edit provider aws --infra prod

### Configuration Troubleshooting

    # 1. Validate all configs
    provisioning workspace config validate

    # 2. If errors, check hierarchy
    provisioning workspace config hierarchy

    # 3. List all config files
    provisioning workspace config list

    # 4. Edit problematic config
    provisioning workspace config edit provider aws

    # 5. Validate again
    provisioning workspace config validate

## Integration with Other Commands

Config commands integrate seamlessly with other workspace operations:

    # Create workspace with providers
    provisioning workspace init my-app ~/apps/my-app --providers [aws,upcloud] --activate

    # Generate additional configs
    provisioning workspace config generate provider local

    # Validate before deployment
    provisioning workspace config validate

    # Deploy infrastructure
    provisioning server create --infra my-app

## Tips

1. Always validate after editing: Run `workspace config validate` after manual edits

2. Use hierarchy to understand precedence: Run `workspace config hierarchy` to see which config files are being used

3. Generate from templates: Use `config generate provider` rather than creating configs manually

4. Check before activation: Validate a workspace before activating it as default

5. Use –out json for scripting: JSON output is easier to parse in scripts

# Workspace Enforcement and Version Tracking Guide

Version: 1.0.0 Last Updated: 2025-10-06 System Version: 2.0.5+

## Table of Contents

1. Overview
2. Workspace Requirement
3. Version Tracking
4. Migration Framework
5. Command Reference
6. Troubleshooting
7. Best Practices

## Overview

The provisioning system now enforces mandatory workspace requirements for all infrastructure operations. This ensures:

- Consistent Environment: All operations run in a well-defined workspace
- Version Compatibility: Workspaces track provisioning and schema versions
- Safe Migrations: Automatic migration framework with backup/rollback support
- Configuration Isolation: Each workspace has isolated configurations and state

### Key Features

- ✅ Mandatory Workspace: Most commands require an active workspace
- ✅ Version Tracking: Workspaces track system, schema, and format versions
- ✅ Compatibility Checks: Automatic validation before operations
- ✅ Migration Framework: Safe upgrades with backup/restore
- ✅ Clear Error Messages: Helpful guidance when workspace is missing or incompatible

## Workspace Requirement

### Commands That Require Workspace

Almost all provisioning commands now require an active workspace:

- Infrastructure: `server`, `taskserv`, `cluster`, `infra`
- Orchestration: `workflow`, `batch`, `orchestrator`
- Development: `module`, `layer`, `pack`
- Generation: `generate`
- Configuration: Most `config` commands
- Test: `test` environment commands

### Commands That Don’t Require Workspace

Only informational and workspace management commands work without a workspace:

- `help` - Help system
- `version` - Show version information
- `workspace` - Workspace management commands
- `guide` / `sc` - Documentation and quick reference
- `nu` - Start Nushell session
- `nuinfo` - Nushell information

### What Happens Without a Workspace

If you run a command without an active workspace, you’ll see:

    ✗ Workspace Required

    No active workspace is configured.

    To get started:

      1. Create a new workspace:
         provisioning workspace init <name>

      2. Or activate an existing workspace:
         provisioning workspace activate <name>

      3. List available workspaces:
         provisioning workspace list

## Version Tracking

### Workspace Metadata

Each workspace maintains metadata in `.provisioning/metadata.yaml`:

    workspace:
      name: "my-workspace"
      path: "/path/to/workspace"

    version:
      provisioning: "2.0.5"    # System version when created/updated
      schema: "1.0.0"          # KCL schema version
      workspace_format: "2.0.0" # Directory structure version

    created: "2025-10-06T12:00:00Z"
    last_updated: "2025-10-06T13:30:00Z"

    migration_history: []

    compatibility:
      min_provisioning_version: "2.0.0"
      min_schema_version: "1.0.0"

### Version Components

#### 1. Provisioning Version

- What: Version of the provisioning system (CLI + libraries)
- Example: `2.0.5`
- Purpose: Ensures workspace is compatible with current system

#### 2. Schema Version

- What: Version of KCL schemas used in workspace
- Example: `1.0.0`
- Purpose: Tracks configuration schema compatibility

#### 3. Workspace Format Version

- What: Version of workspace directory structure
- Example: `2.0.0`
- Purpose: Ensures workspace has required directories and files

### Checking Workspace Version

View workspace version information:

    # Check active workspace version
    provisioning workspace version

    # Check specific workspace version
    provisioning workspace version my-workspace

    # JSON output
    provisioning workspace version --format json

Example Output:

    Workspace Version Information

    System:
      Version: 2.0.5

    Workspace:
      Name: my-workspace
      Path: /Users/user/workspaces/my-workspace
      Version: 2.0.5
      Schema Version: 1.0.0
      Format Version: 2.0.0
      Created: 2025-10-06T12:00:00Z
      Last Updated: 2025-10-06T13:30:00Z

    Compatibility:
      Compatible: true
      Reason: version_match
      Message: Workspace and system versions match

    Migrations:
      Total: 0

## Migration Framework

### When Migration is Needed

Migration is required when:

1. No Metadata: Workspace created before version tracking (< 2.0.5)
2. Version Mismatch: System version is newer than workspace version
3. Breaking Changes: Major version update with structural changes

### Compatibility Scenarios

#### Scenario 1: No Metadata (Unknown Version)

    Workspace version is incompatible:
      Workspace: my-workspace
      Path: /path/to/workspace

    Workspace metadata not found or corrupted

    This workspace needs migration:

      Run workspace migration:
         provisioning workspace migrate my-workspace

#### Scenario 2: Migration Available

    ℹ Migration available: Workspace can be updated from 2.0.0 to 2.0.5
      Run: provisioning workspace migrate my-workspace

#### Scenario 3: Workspace Too New

    Workspace version (3.0.0) is newer than system (2.0.5)

    Workspace is newer than the system:
      Workspace version: 3.0.0
      System version: 2.0.5

      Upgrade the provisioning system to use this workspace.

### Running Migrations

#### Basic Migration

Migrate active workspace to current system version:

    provisioning workspace migrate

#### Migrate Specific Workspace

    provisioning workspace migrate my-workspace

#### Migration Options

    # Skip backup (not recommended)
    provisioning workspace migrate --skip-backup

    # Force without confirmation
    provisioning workspace migrate --force

    # Migrate to specific version
    provisioning workspace migrate --target-version 2.1.0

### Migration Process

When you run a migration:

1. Validation: System validates workspace exists and needs migration
2. Backup: Creates timestamped backup in `.workspace_backups/`
3. Confirmation: Prompts for confirmation (unless `--force`)
4. Migration: Applies migration steps sequentially
5. Verification: Validates migration success
6. Metadata Update: Records migration in workspace metadata

Example Migration Output:

    Workspace Migration

    Workspace: my-workspace
    Path: /path/to/workspace

    Current version: unknown
    Target version: 2.0.5

    This will migrate the workspace from unknown to 2.0.5
    A backup will be created before migration.

    Continue with migration? (y/N): y

    Creating backup...
    ✓ Backup created: /path/.workspace_backups/my-workspace_backup_20251006_123000

    Migration Strategy: Initialize metadata
    Description: Add metadata tracking to existing workspace
    From: unknown → To: 2.0.5

    Migrating workspace to version 2.0.5...
    ✓ Initialize metadata completed

    ✓ Migration completed successfully

### Workspace Backups

#### List Backups

    # List backups for active workspace
    provisioning workspace list-backups

    # List backups for specific workspace
    provisioning workspace list-backups my-workspace

Example Output:

    Workspace Backups for my-workspace

    name                               created                  reason         size
    my-workspace_backup_20251006_1200  2025-10-06T12:00:00Z    pre_migration  2.3 MB
    my-workspace_backup_20251005_1500  2025-10-05T15:00:00Z    pre_migration  2.1 MB

#### Restore from Backup

    # Restore workspace from backup
    provisioning workspace restore-backup /path/to/backup

    # Force restore without confirmation
    provisioning workspace restore-backup /path/to/backup --force

Restore Process:

    Restore Workspace from Backup

    Backup: /path/.workspace_backups/my-workspace_backup_20251006_1200
    Original path: /path/to/workspace
    Created: 2025-10-06T12:00:00Z
    Reason: pre_migration

    ⚠ This will replace the current workspace at:
      /path/to/workspace

    Continue with restore? (y/N): y

    ✓ Workspace restored from backup

## Command Reference

### Workspace Version Commands

    # Show workspace version information
    provisioning workspace version [workspace-name] [--format table|json|yaml]

    # Check compatibility
    provisioning workspace check-compatibility [workspace-name]

    # Migrate workspace
    provisioning workspace migrate [workspace-name] [--skip-backup] [--force] [--target-version VERSION]

    # List backups
    provisioning workspace list-backups [workspace-name]

    # Restore from backup
    provisioning workspace restore-backup <backup-path> [--force]

### Workspace Management Commands

    # List all workspaces
    provisioning workspace list

    # Show active workspace
    provisioning workspace active

    # Activate workspace
    provisioning workspace activate <name>

    # Create new workspace (includes metadata initialization)
    provisioning workspace init <name> [path]

    # Register existing workspace
    provisioning workspace register <name> <path>

    # Remove workspace from registry
    provisioning workspace remove <name> [--force]

## Troubleshooting

### Problem: “No active workspace”

Solution: Activate or create a workspace

    # List available workspaces
    provisioning workspace list

    # Activate existing workspace
    provisioning workspace activate my-workspace

    # Or create new workspace
    provisioning workspace init new-workspace

### Problem: “Workspace has invalid structure”

Symptoms: Missing directories or configuration files

Solution: Run migration to fix structure

    provisioning workspace migrate my-workspace

### Problem: “Workspace version is incompatible”

Solution: Run migration to upgrade workspace

    provisioning workspace migrate

### Problem: Migration Failed

Solution: Restore from automatic backup

    # List backups
    provisioning workspace list-backups

    # Restore from most recent backup
    provisioning workspace restore-backup /path/to/backup

### Problem: Can’t Activate Workspace After Migration

Possible Causes:

1. Migration failed partially
2. Workspace path changed
3. Metadata corrupted

Solutions:

    # Check workspace compatibility
    provisioning workspace check-compatibility my-workspace

    # If corrupted, restore from backup
    provisioning workspace restore-backup /path/to/backup

    # If path changed, re-register
    provisioning workspace remove my-workspace
    provisioning workspace register my-workspace /new/path --activate

## Best Practices

### 1. Always Use Named Workspaces

Create workspaces for different environments:

    provisioning workspace init dev ~/workspaces/dev --activate
    provisioning workspace init staging ~/workspaces/staging
    provisioning workspace init production ~/workspaces/production

### 2. Let System Create Backups

Never use `--skip-backup` for important workspaces. Backups are cheap, data loss is expensive.

    # Good: Default with backup
    provisioning workspace migrate

    # Risky: No backup
    provisioning workspace migrate --skip-backup  # DON'T DO THIS

### 3. Check Compatibility Before Operations

Before major operations, verify workspace compatibility:

    provisioning workspace check-compatibility

### 4. Migrate After System Upgrades

After upgrading the provisioning system:

    # Check if migration available
    provisioning workspace version

    # Migrate if needed
    provisioning workspace migrate

### 5. Keep Backups for Safety

Don’t immediately delete old backups:

    # List backups
    provisioning workspace list-backups

    # Keep at least 2-3 recent backups

### 6. Use Version Control for Workspace Configs

Initialize git in workspace directory:

    cd ~/workspaces/my-workspace
    git init
    git add config/ infra/
    git commit -m "Initial workspace configuration"

Exclude runtime and cache directories in `.gitignore`:

    .cache/
    .runtime/
    .provisioning/
    .workspace_backups/

### 7. Document Custom Migrations

If you need custom migration steps, document them:

    # Create migration notes
    echo "Custom steps for v2 to v3 migration" > MIGRATION_NOTES.md

## Migration History

Each migration is recorded in workspace metadata:

    migration_history:
      - from_version: "unknown"
        to_version: "2.0.5"
        migration_type: "metadata_initialization"
        timestamp: "2025-10-06T12:00:00Z"
        success: true
        notes: "Initial metadata creation"

      - from_version: "2.0.5"
        to_version: "2.1.0"
        migration_type: "version_update"
        timestamp: "2025-10-15T10:30:00Z"
        success: true
        notes: "Updated to workspace switching support"

View migration history:

    provisioning workspace version --format yaml | grep -A 10 "migration_history"

## Summary

The workspace enforcement and version tracking system provides:

- Safety: Mandatory workspace prevents accidental operations outside defined environments
- Compatibility: Version tracking ensures workspace works with current system
- Upgradability: Migration framework handles version transitions safely
- Recoverability: Automatic backups protect against migration failures

Key Commands:

    # Create workspace
    provisioning workspace init my-workspace --activate

    # Check version
    provisioning workspace version

    # Migrate if needed
    provisioning workspace migrate

    # List backups
    provisioning workspace list-backups

# Unified Workspace:Infrastructure Reference System

Version: 1.0.0 Last Updated: 2025-12-04

## Overview

The Workspace:Infrastructure Reference System provides a unified notation for managing workspaces and their associated infrastructure. This system eliminates the need to specify infrastructure separately and enables convenient defaults.

## Quick Start

### Temporal Override (Single Command)

Use the `-ws` flag with `workspace:infra` notation:

    # Use production workspace with sgoyol infrastructure for this command only
    provisioning server list -ws production:sgoyol

    # Use default infrastructure of active workspace
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes

### Persistent Activation

Activate a workspace with a default infrastructure:

    # Activate librecloud workspace and set wuji as default infra
    provisioning workspace activate librecloud:wuji

    # Now all commands use librecloud:wuji by default
    provisioning server list

## Notation Syntax

### Basic Format

    workspace:infra

Part | Description | Example
--- | --- | ---
`workspace` | Workspace name | `librecloud`
`:` | Separator | -
`infra` | Infrastructure name | `wuji`

### Examples

Notation | Workspace | Infrastructure
--- | --- | ---
`librecloud:wuji` | librecloud | wuji
`production:sgoyol` | production | sgoyol
`dev:local` | dev | local
`librecloud` | librecloud | (from default or context)

## Resolution Priority

When no infrastructure is explicitly specified, the system uses this priority order:

1. Explicit `--infra` flag (highest)

       provisioning server list --infra another-infra

2. PWD Detection

       cd workspace_librecloud/infra/wuji
       provisioning server list  # Auto-detects wuji

3. Default Infrastructure

       # If workspace has default_infra set
       provisioning server list  # Uses configured default

4. Error (no infra found)

       # Error: No infrastructure specified

## Usage Patterns

### Pattern 1: Temporal Override for Commands

Use `-ws` to override workspace:infra for a single command:

    # Currently in librecloud:wuji context
    provisioning server list  # Shows librecloud:wuji

    # Temporary override for this command only
    provisioning server list -ws production:sgoyol  # Shows production:sgoyol

    # Back to original context
    provisioning server list  # Shows librecloud:wuji again

### Pattern 2: Persistent Workspace Activation

Set a workspace as active with a default infrastructure:

    # List available workspaces
    provisioning workspace list

    # Activate with infra notation
    provisioning workspace activate production:sgoyol

    # All subsequent commands use production:sgoyol
    provisioning server list
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes

### Pattern 3: PWD-Based Inference

The system auto-detects workspace and infrastructure from your current directory:

    # Your workspace structure
    workspace_librecloud/
      infra/
        wuji/
          settings.ncl
        another/
          settings.ncl

    # Navigation auto-detects context
    cd workspace_librecloud/infra/wuji
    provisioning server list  # Uses wuji automatically

    cd ../another
    provisioning server list  # Switches to another

### Pattern 4: Default Infrastructure Management

Set a workspace-specific default infrastructure:

    # During activation
    provisioning workspace activate librecloud:wuji

    # Or explicitly after activation
    provisioning workspace set-default-infra librecloud another-infra

    # View current defaults
    provisioning workspace list

## Command Reference

### Workspace Commands

    # Activate workspace with infra
    provisioning workspace activate workspace:infra

    # Switch to different workspace
    provisioning workspace switch workspace_name

    # List all workspaces
    provisioning workspace list

    # Show active workspace
    provisioning workspace active

    # Set default infrastructure
    provisioning workspace set-default-infra workspace_name infra_name

    # Get default infrastructure
    provisioning workspace get-default-infra workspace_name

### Common Commands with `-ws`

    # Server operations
    provisioning server create -ws workspace:infra
    provisioning server list -ws workspace:infra
    provisioning server delete name -ws workspace:infra

    # Task service operations
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes -ws workspace:infra
    provisioning taskserv delete kubernetes -ws workspace:infra

    # Infrastructure operations
    provisioning infra validate -ws workspace:infra
    provisioning infra list -ws workspace:infra

## Features

### ✅ Unified Notation

- Single `workspace:infra` format for all references
- Works with all provisioning commands
- Backward compatible with existing workflows

### ✅ Temporal Override

- Use `-ws` flag for single-command overrides
- No permanent state changes
- Automatically reverted after command

### ✅ Persistent Defaults

- Set default infrastructure per workspace
- Eliminates repetitive `--infra` flags
- Survives across sessions

### ✅ Smart Detection

- Auto-detects workspace from directory
- Auto-detects infrastructure from PWD
- Fallback to configured defaults

### ✅ Error Handling

- Clear error messages when infra not found
- Validation of workspace and infra existence
- Helpful hints for missing configurations

## Environment Context

### TEMP_WORKSPACE Variable

The system uses `$env.TEMP_WORKSPACE` for temporal overrides:

    # Set temporarily (via -ws flag automatically)
    $env.TEMP_WORKSPACE = "production"

    # Check current context
    echo $env.TEMP_WORKSPACE

    # Clear after use
    hide-env TEMP_WORKSPACE

## Validation

### Validating Notation

    # Valid notation formats
    librecloud:wuji           # Standard format
    production:sgoyol.v2      # With dots and hyphens
    dev-01:local-test         # Multiple hyphens
    prod123:infra456          # Numeric names

    # Special characters
    lib-cloud_01:wu-ji.v2    # Mix of all allowed chars

### Error Cases

    # Workspace not found
    provisioning workspace activate unknown:infra
    # Error: Workspace 'unknown' not found in registry

    # Infrastructure not found
    provisioning workspace activate librecloud:unknown
    # Error: Infrastructure 'unknown' not found in workspace 'librecloud'

    # Empty specification
    provisioning workspace activate ""
    # Error: Workspace '' not found in registry

## Configuration

### User Configuration

Default infrastructure is stored in `~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/user_config.yaml`:

    active_workspace: "librecloud"

    workspaces:
      - name: "librecloud"
        path: "/Users/you/workspaces/librecloud"
        last_used: "2025-12-04T12:00:00Z"
        default_infra: "wuji"  # Default infrastructure

      - name: "production"
        path: "/opt/workspaces/production"
        last_used: "2025-12-03T15:30:00Z"
        default_infra: "sgoyol"

### Workspace Schema

In `provisioning/schemas/workspace_config.ncl`:

    {
      InfraConfig = {
        current | String,  # Infrastructure context settings
        default | String | optional,  # Default infrastructure for workspace
      },
    }

## Best Practices

### 1. Use Persistent Activation for Long Sessions

    # Good: Activate at start of session
    provisioning workspace activate production:sgoyol

    # Then use simple commands
    provisioning server list
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes

### 2. Use Temporal Override for Ad-Hoc Operations

    # Good: Quick one-off operation
    provisioning server list -ws production:other-infra

    # Avoid: Repeated -ws flags
    provisioning server list -ws prod:infra1
    provisioning taskserv list -ws prod:infra1  # Better to activate once

### 3. Navigate with PWD for Context Awareness

    # Good: Navigate to infrastructure directory
    cd workspace_librecloud/infra/wuji
    provisioning server list  # Auto-detects context

    # Works well with: cd - history, terminal multiplexer panes

### 4. Set Meaningful Defaults

    # Good: Default to production infrastructure
    provisioning workspace activate production:main-infra

    # Avoid: Default to dev infrastructure in production workspace

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: “Workspace not found in registry”

Solution: Register the workspace first

    provisioning workspace register librecloud /path/to/workspace_librecloud

### Issue: “Infrastructure not found”

Solution: Verify infrastructure directory exists

    ls workspace_librecloud/infra/  # Check available infras
    provisioning workspace activate librecloud:wuji  # Use correct name

### Issue: Temporal override not working

Solution: Ensure you’re using `-ws` flag correctly

    # Correct
    provisioning server list -ws production:sgoyol

    # Incorrect (missing space)
    provisioning server list-wsproduction:sgoyol

    # Incorrect (ws is not a command)
    provisioning -ws production:sgoyol server list

### Issue: PWD detection not working

Solution: Navigate to proper infrastructure directory

    # Must be in workspace structure
    cd workspace_name/infra/infra_name

    # Then run command
    provisioning server list

## Migration from Old System

### Old Way

    provisioning workspace activate librecloud
    provisioning --infra wuji server list
    provisioning --infra wuji taskserv create kubernetes

### New Way

    provisioning workspace activate librecloud:wuji
    provisioning server list
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes

## Performance Notes

- Notation parsing: <1 ms per command
- Workspace detection: <5 ms from PWD
- Workspace switching: ~100 ms (includes platform activation)
- Temporal override: No additional overhead

## Backward Compatibility

All existing commands and flags continue to work:

    # Old syntax still works
    provisioning --infra wuji server list

    # New syntax also works
    provisioning server list -ws librecloud:wuji

    # Mix and match
    provisioning --infra other-infra server list -ws librecloud:wuji
    # Uses other-infra (explicit flag takes priority)

# Authentication Layer Implementation Guide

Version: 1.0.0 Date: 2025-10-09 Status: Production Ready

## Overview

A comprehensive authentication layer has been integrated into the provisioning system to secure sensitive operations. The system uses `nu_plugin_auth` for JWT authentication with MFA support, providing enterprise-grade security with graceful user experience.

## Key Features

### ✅ JWT Authentication

- RS256 asymmetric signing
- Access tokens (15 min) + refresh tokens (7 d)
- OS keyring storage (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux Secret Service)

### ✅ MFA Support

- TOTP (Google Authenticator, Authy)
- WebAuthn/FIDO2 (YubiKey, Touch ID)
- Required for production and destructive operations

### ✅ Security Policies

- Production environment: Requires authentication + MFA
- Destructive operations: Requires authentication + MFA (delete, destroy)
- Development/test: Requires authentication, allows skip with flag
- Check mode: Always bypasses authentication (dry-run operations)

### ✅ Audit Logging

- All authenticated operations logged
- User, timestamp, operation details
- MFA verification status
- JSON format for easy parsing

### ✅ User-Friendly Error Messages

- Clear instructions for login/MFA
- Distinct error types (platform auth vs provider auth)
- Helpful guidance for setup

## Quick Start

### 1. Login to Platform

    # Interactive login (password prompt)
    provisioning auth login <username>

    # Save credentials to keyring
    provisioning auth login <username> --save

    # Custom control center URL
    provisioning auth login admin --url http://control.example.com:9080

### 2. Enroll MFA (First Time)

    # Enroll TOTP (Google Authenticator)
    provisioning auth mfa enroll totp

    # Scan QR code with authenticator app
    # Or enter secret manually

### 3. Verify MFA (For Sensitive Operations)

    # Get 6-digit code from authenticator app
    provisioning auth mfa verify --code 123456

### 4. Check Authentication Status

    # View current authentication status
    provisioning auth status

    # Verify token is valid
    provisioning auth verify

## Protected Operations

### Server Operations

    # ✅ CREATE - Requires auth (prod: +MFA)
    provisioning server create web-01                    # Auth required
    provisioning server create web-01 --check            # Auth skipped (check mode)

    # ❌ DELETE - Requires auth + MFA
    provisioning server delete web-01                    # Auth + MFA required
    provisioning server delete web-01 --check            # Auth skipped (check mode)

    # 📖 READ - No auth required
    provisioning server list                             # No auth required
    provisioning server ssh web-01                       # No auth required

### Task Service Operations

    # ✅ CREATE - Requires auth (prod: +MFA)
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes              # Auth required
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --check      # Auth skipped

    # ❌ DELETE - Requires auth + MFA
    provisioning taskserv delete kubernetes              # Auth + MFA required

    # 📖 READ - No auth required
    provisioning taskserv list                           # No auth required

### Cluster Operations

    # ✅ CREATE - Requires auth (prod: +MFA)
    provisioning cluster create buildkit                 # Auth required
    provisioning cluster create buildkit --check         # Auth skipped

    # ❌ DELETE - Requires auth + MFA
    provisioning cluster delete buildkit                 # Auth + MFA required

### Batch Workflows

    # ✅ SUBMIT - Requires auth (prod: +MFA)
    provisioning batch submit workflow.ncl               # Auth required
    provisioning batch submit workflow.ncl --skip-auth   # Auth skipped (if allowed)

    # 📖 READ - No auth required
    provisioning batch list                              # No auth required
    provisioning batch status <task-id>                  # No auth required

## Configuration

### Security Settings (`config.defaults.toml`)

    [security]
    require_auth = true  # Enable authentication system
    require_mfa_for_production = true  # MFA for prod environment
    require_mfa_for_destructive = true  # MFA for delete operations
    auth_timeout = 3600  # Token timeout (1 hour)
    audit_log_path = "{{paths.base}}/logs/audit.log"

    [security.bypass]
    allow_skip_auth = false  # Allow PROVISIONING_SKIP_AUTH env var

    [plugins]
    auth_enabled = true  # Enable nu_plugin_auth

    [platform.control_center]
    url = "http://localhost:9080"  # Control center URL

### Environment-Specific Configuration

    # Development
    [environments.dev]
    security.bypass.allow_skip_auth = true  # Allow auth bypass in dev

    # Production
    [environments.prod]
    security.bypass.allow_skip_auth = false  # Never allow bypass
    security.require_mfa_for_production = true

## Authentication Bypass (Dev/Test Only)

### Environment Variable Method

    # Export environment variable (dev/test only)
    export PROVISIONING_SKIP_AUTH=true

    # Run operations without authentication
    provisioning server create web-01

    # Unset when done
    unset PROVISIONING_SKIP_AUTH

### Per-Command Flag

    # Some commands support --skip-auth flag
    provisioning batch submit workflow.ncl --skip-auth

### Check Mode (Always Bypasses Auth)

    # Check mode is always allowed without auth
    provisioning server create web-01 --check
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --check

⚠️ WARNING: Auth bypass is ONLY for development/testing. Production systems must have `security.bypass.allow_skip_auth = false`.

## Error Messages

### Not Authenticated

    ❌ Authentication Required

    Operation: server create web-01
    You must be logged in to perform this operation.

    To login:
       provisioning auth login <username>

    Note: Your credentials will be securely stored in the system keyring.

Solution: Run `provisioning auth login <username>`

### MFA Required

    ❌ MFA Verification Required

    Operation: server delete web-01
    Reason: destructive operation (delete/destroy)

    To verify MFA:
       1. Get code from your authenticator app
       2. Run: provisioning auth mfa verify --code <6-digit-code>

    Don't have MFA set up?
       Run: provisioning auth mfa enroll totp

Solution: Run `provisioning auth mfa verify --code 123456`

### Token Expired

    ❌ Authentication Required

    Operation: server create web-02
    You must be logged in to perform this operation.

    Error: Token verification failed

Solution: Token expired, re-login with `provisioning auth login <username>`

## Audit Logging

All authenticated operations are logged to the audit log file with the following information:

    {
      "timestamp": "2025-10-09 14:32:15",
      "user": "admin",
      "operation": "server_create",
      "details": {
        "hostname": "web-01",
        "infra": "production",
        "environment": "prod",
        "orchestrated": false
      },
      "mfa_verified": true
    }

### Viewing Audit Logs

    # View raw audit log
    cat provisioning/logs/audit.log

    # Filter by user
    cat provisioning/logs/audit.log | jq '. | select(.user == "admin")'

    # Filter by operation type
    cat provisioning/logs/audit.log | jq '. | select(.operation == "server_create")'

    # Filter by date
    cat provisioning/logs/audit.log | jq '. | select(.timestamp | startswith("2025-10-09"))'

## Integration with Control Center

The authentication system integrates with the provisioning platform’s control center REST API:

- POST /api/auth/login - Login with credentials
- POST /api/auth/logout - Revoke tokens
- POST /api/auth/verify - Verify token validity
- GET /api/auth/sessions - List active sessions
- POST /api/mfa/enroll - Enroll MFA device
- POST /api/mfa/verify - Verify MFA code

### Starting Control Center

    # Start control center (required for authentication)
    cd provisioning/platform/control-center
    cargo run --release

Or use the orchestrator which includes control center:

    cd provisioning/platform/orchestrator
    ./scripts/start-orchestrator.nu --background

## Testing Authentication

### Manual Testing

    # 1. Start control center
    cd provisioning/platform/control-center
    cargo run --release &

    # 2. Login
    provisioning auth login admin

    # 3. Try creating server (should succeed if authenticated)
    provisioning server create test-server --check

    # 4. Logout
    provisioning auth logout

    # 5. Try creating server (should fail - not authenticated)
    provisioning server create test-server --check

### Automated Testing

    # Run authentication tests
    nu provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/plugins/auth_test.nu

## Troubleshooting

### Plugin Not Available

Error: `Authentication plugin not available`

Solution:

1. Check plugin is built: `ls provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/nu_plugin_auth/target/release/`
2. Register plugin: `plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_auth`
3. Use plugin: `plugin use auth`
4. Verify: `which auth`

### Control Center Not Running

Error: `Cannot connect to control center`

Solution:

1. Start control center: `cd provisioning/platform/control-center && cargo run --release`
2. Or use orchestrator: `cd provisioning/platform/orchestrator && ./scripts/start-orchestrator.nu --background`
3. Check URL is correct in config: `provisioning config get platform.control_center.url`

### MFA Not Working

Error: `Invalid MFA code`

Solutions:

- Ensure time is synchronized (TOTP codes are time-based)
- Code expires every 30 seconds, get fresh code
- Verify you’re using the correct authenticator app entry
- Re-enroll if needed: `provisioning auth mfa enroll totp`

### Keyring Access Issues

Error: `Keyring storage unavailable`

macOS: Grant Keychain access to Terminal/iTerm2 in System Preferences → Security & Privacy

Linux: Ensure `gnome-keyring` or `kwallet` is running

Windows: Check Windows Credential Manager is accessible

## Best Practices

### For Users

1. Always login: Keep your session active to avoid interruptions
2. Use keyring: Save credentials with `--save` flag for persistence
3. Enable MFA: Use MFA for production operations
4. Check mode first: Always test with `--check` before actual operations
5. Monitor audit logs: Review audit logs regularly for security

### For Developers

1. Check auth early: Verify authentication before expensive operations
2. Log operations: Always log authenticated operations for audit
3. Clear error messages: Provide helpful guidance for auth failures
4. Respect check mode: Always skip auth in check/dry-run mode
5. Test both paths: Test with and without authentication

### For Operators

1. Production hardening: Set `allow_skip_auth = false` in production
2. MFA enforcement: Require MFA for all production environments
3. Monitor audit logs: Set up log monitoring and alerts
4. Token rotation: Configure short token timeouts (15 min default)
5. Backup authentication: Ensure multiple admins have MFA enrolled

## Setup Guide

### Complete Authentication Setup Guide

Current Settings (from your config)

    [security]
    require_auth = true                    # ✅ Auth is REQUIRED
    allow_skip_auth = false                # ❌ Cannot skip with env var
    auth_timeout = 3600                    # Token valid for 1 hour

    [platform.control_center]
    url = "http://localhost:3000"          # Control Center endpoint

### STEP 1: Start Control Center

The Control Center is the authentication backend:

    # Check if it's already running
    curl http://localhost:3000/health

    # If not running, start it
    cd /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/platform/control-center
    cargo run --release &

    # Wait for it to start (may take 30-60 seconds)
    sleep 30
    curl http://localhost:3000/health

Expected Output:

    {"status": "healthy"}

### STEP 2: Find Default Credentials

Check for default user setup:

    # Look for initialization scripts
    ls -la /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/platform/control-center/

    # Check for README or setup instructions
    cat /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/platform/control-center/README.md

    # Or check for default config
    cat /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/platform/control-center/config.toml 2>/dev/null || echo "Config not found"

### STEP 3: Log In

Once you have credentials (usually admin / password from setup):

    # Interactive login - will prompt for password
    provisioning auth login

    # Or with username
    provisioning auth login admin

    # Verify you're logged in
    provisioning auth status

Expected Success Output:

    ✓ Login successful!

    User:       admin
    Role:       admin
    Expires:    2025-10-22T14:30:00Z
    MFA:        false

    Session active and ready

### STEP 4: Now Create Your Server

Once authenticated:

    # Try server creation again
    provisioning server create sgoyol --check

    # Or with full details
    provisioning server create sgoyol --infra workspace_librecloud --check

### 🛠️ Alternative: Skip Auth for Development

If you want to bypass authentication temporarily for testing:

#### Option A: Edit config to allow skip

    # You would need to parse and modify TOML - easier to do next option

#### Option B: Use environment variable (if allowed by config)

    export PROVISIONING_SKIP_AUTH=true
    provisioning server create sgoyol
    unset PROVISIONING_SKIP_AUTH

#### Option C: Use check mode (always works, no auth needed)

    provisioning server create sgoyol --check

#### Option D: Modify config.defaults.toml (permanent for dev)

Edit: `provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml`

Change line 193 to:

    allow_skip_auth = true

### 🔍 Troubleshooting

Problem | Solution
--- | ---
Control Center won’t start | Check port 3000 not in use: `lsof -i :3000`
“No token found” error | Login with: `provisioning auth login`
Login fails | Verify Control Center is running: `curl http://localhost:3000/health`
Token expired | Re-login: `provisioning auth login`
Plugin not available | Using HTTP fallback - this is OK, works without plugin

# Configuration Encryption Guide

Version: 1.0.0 Last Updated: 2025-10-08 Status: Production Ready

## Overview

The Provisioning Platform includes a comprehensive configuration encryption system that provides:

- Transparent Encryption/Decryption: Configs are automatically decrypted on load
- Multiple KMS Backends: Age, AWS KMS, HashiCorp Vault, Cosmian KMS
- Memory-Only Decryption: Secrets never written to disk in plaintext
- SOPS Integration: Industry-standard encryption with SOPS
- Sensitive Data Detection: Automatic scanning for unencrypted sensitive data

## Table of Contents

1. Prerequisites
2. Quick Start
3. Configuration Encryption
4. KMS Backends
5. CLI Commands
6. Integration with Config Loader
7. Best Practices
8. Troubleshooting

## Prerequisites

### Required Tools

1. SOPS (v3.10.2+)

       # macOS
       brew install sops

       # Linux
       wget https://github.com/mozilla/sops/releases/download/v3.10.2/sops-v3.10.2.linux.amd64
       sudo mv sops-v3.10.2.linux.amd64 /usr/local/bin/sops
       sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sops

2. Age (for Age backend - recommended)

       # macOS
       brew install age

       # Linux
       apt install age

3. AWS CLI (for AWS KMS backend - optional)

       brew install awscli

### Verify Installation

    # Check SOPS
    sops --version

    # Check Age
    age --version

    # Check AWS CLI (optional)
    aws --version

## Quick Start

### 1. Initialize Encryption

Generate Age keys and create SOPS configuration:

    provisioning config init-encryption --kms age

This will:

- Generate Age key pair in `~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt`
- Display your public key (recipient)
- Create `.sops.yaml` in your project

### 2. Set Environment Variables

Add to your shell profile (`~/.zshrc` or `~/.bashrc`):

    # Age encryption
    export SOPS_AGE_RECIPIENTS="age1ql3z7hjy54pw3hyww5ayyfg7zqgvc7w3j2elw8zmrj2kg5sfn9aqmcac8p"
    export PROVISIONING_KAGE="$HOME/.config/sops/age/keys.txt"

Replace the recipient with your actual public key.

### 3. Validate Setup

    provisioning config validate-encryption

Expected output:

    ✅ Encryption configuration is valid
       SOPS installed: true
       Age backend: true
       KMS enabled: false
       Errors: 0
       Warnings: 0

### 4. Encrypt Your First Config

    # Create a config with sensitive data
    cat > workspace/config/secure.yaml <<EOF
    database:
      host: localhost
      password: supersecret123
      api_key: key_abc123
    EOF

    # Encrypt it
    provisioning config encrypt workspace/config/secure.yaml --in-place

    # Verify it's encrypted
    provisioning config is-encrypted workspace/config/secure.yaml

## Configuration Encryption

### File Naming Conventions

Encrypted files should follow these patterns:

- `*.enc.yaml` - Encrypted YAML files
- `*.enc.yml` - Encrypted YAML files (alternative)
- `*.enc.toml` - Encrypted TOML files
- `secure.yaml` - Files in workspace/config/

The `.sops.yaml` configuration automatically applies encryption rules based on file paths.

### Encrypt a Configuration File

#### Basic Encryption

    # Encrypt and create new file
    provisioning config encrypt secrets.yaml

    # Output: secrets.yaml.enc

#### In-Place Encryption

    # Encrypt and replace original
    provisioning config encrypt secrets.yaml --in-place

#### Specify Output Path

    # Encrypt to specific location
    provisioning config encrypt secrets.yaml --output workspace/config/secure.enc.yaml

#### Choose KMS Backend

    # Use Age (default)
    provisioning config encrypt secrets.yaml --kms age

    # Use AWS KMS
    provisioning config encrypt secrets.yaml --kms aws-kms

    # Use Vault
    provisioning config encrypt secrets.yaml --kms vault

### Decrypt a Configuration File

    # Decrypt to new file
    provisioning config decrypt secrets.enc.yaml

    # Decrypt in-place
    provisioning config decrypt secrets.enc.yaml --in-place

    # Decrypt to specific location
    provisioning config decrypt secrets.enc.yaml --output plaintext.yaml

### Edit Encrypted Files

The system provides a secure editing workflow:

    # Edit encrypted file (auto decrypt -> edit -> re-encrypt)
    provisioning config edit-secure workspace/config/secure.enc.yaml

This will:

1. Decrypt the file temporarily
2. Open in your `$EDITOR` (vim/nano/etc)
3. Re-encrypt when you save and close
4. Remove temporary decrypted file

### Check Encryption Status

    # Check if file is encrypted
    provisioning config is-encrypted workspace/config/secure.yaml

    # Get detailed encryption info
    provisioning config encryption-info workspace/config/secure.yaml

## KMS Backends

### Age (Recommended for Development)

Pros:

         - path_regex: .*\.enc\.yaml$
           kms: "arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012"

Encrypt/Decrypt:

    provisioning config encrypt secrets.yaml --kms aws-kms
    provisioning config decrypt secrets.enc.yaml

### HashiCorp Vault (Enterprise)

Pros:

- Dynamic secrets
- Centralized secret management
- Audit logging
- Policy-based access

Setup:

1. Configure Vault address and token:

       export VAULT_ADDR="https://vault.example.com:8200"
       export VAULT_TOKEN="s.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

2. Update configuration:

       # workspace/config/provisioning.yaml
       kms:
         enabled: true
         mode: "remote"
         vault:
           address: "https://vault.example.com:8200"
           transit_key: "provisioning"

Encrypt/Decrypt:

    provisioning config encrypt secrets.yaml --kms vault
    provisioning config decrypt secrets.enc.yaml

### Cosmian KMS (Confidential Computing)

           endpoint: "https://kms.example.com:9998"
           auth_method: "certificate"
           client_cert: "/path/to/client.crt"
           client_key: "/path/to/client.key"

Encrypt/Decrypt:

    provisioning config encrypt secrets.yaml --kms cosmian
    provisioning config decrypt secrets.enc.yaml

## CLI Commands

### Configuration Encryption Commands

Command | Description
--- | ---
`config encrypt <file>` | Encrypt configuration file
`config decrypt <file>` | Decrypt configuration file
`config edit-secure <file>` | Edit encrypted file securely
`config rotate-keys <file> <key>` | Rotate encryption keys
`config is-encrypted <file>` | Check if file is encrypted
`config encryption-info <file>` | Show encryption details
`config validate-encryption` | Validate encryption setup
`config scan-sensitive <dir>` | Find unencrypted sensitive configs
`config encrypt-all <dir>` | Encrypt all sensitive configs
`config init-encryption` | Initialize encryption (generate keys)

### Examples

    # Encrypt workspace config
    provisioning config encrypt workspace/config/secure.yaml --in-place

    # Edit encrypted file
    provisioning config edit-secure workspace/config/secure.yaml

    # Scan for unencrypted sensitive configs
    provisioning config scan-sensitive workspace/config --recursive

    # Encrypt all sensitive configs in workspace
    provisioning config encrypt-all workspace/config --kms age --recursive

    # Check encryption status
    provisioning config is-encrypted workspace/config/secure.yaml

    # Get detailed info
    provisioning config encryption-info workspace/config/secure.yaml

    # Validate setup
    provisioning config validate-encryption

## Integration with Config Loader

### Automatic Decryption

The config loader automatically detects and decrypts encrypted files:

    # Load encrypted config (automatically decrypted in memory)
    use lib_provisioning/config/loader.nu

    let config = (load-provisioning-config --debug)

Key Features:

- Transparent: No code changes needed
- Memory-Only: Decrypted content never written to disk
- Fallback: If decryption fails, attempts to load as plain file
- Debug Support: Shows decryption status with `--debug` flag

### Manual Loading

    use lib_provisioning/config/encryption.nu

    # Load encrypted config
    let secure_config = (load-encrypted-config "workspace/config/secure.enc.yaml")

    # Memory-only decryption (no file created)
    let decrypted_content = (decrypt-config-memory "workspace/config/secure.enc.yaml")

### Configuration Hierarchy with Encryption

The system supports encrypted files at any level:

    1. workspace/{name}/config/provisioning.yaml        ← Can be encrypted
    2. workspace/{name}/config/providers/*.toml         ← Can be encrypted
    3. workspace/{name}/config/platform/*.toml          ← Can be encrypted
    4. ~/.../provisioning/ws_{name}.yaml                ← Can be encrypted
    5. Environment variables (PROVISIONING_*)           ← Plain text

## Best Practices

### 1. Encrypt All Sensitive Data

Always encrypt configs containing:

- Passwords
- API keys
- Secret keys
- Private keys
- Tokens
- Credentials

Scan for unencrypted sensitive data:

    provisioning config scan-sensitive workspace --recursive

### 2. Use Appropriate KMS Backend

Environment | Recommended Backend
--- | ---
Development | Age (file-based)
Staging | AWS KMS or Vault
Production | AWS KMS or Vault
CI/CD | AWS KMS with IAM roles

### 3. Key Management

Age Keys:

- Store private keys securely: `~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt`
- Set file permissions: `chmod 600 ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt`
- Backup keys securely (encrypted backup)
- Never commit private keys to git

AWS KMS:

- Use separate keys per environment
- Enable key rotation
- Use IAM policies for access control
- Monitor usage with CloudTrail

Vault:

- Use transit engine for encryption
- Enable audit logging
- Implement least-privilege policies
- Regular policy reviews

### 4. File Organization

    workspace/
    └── config/
        ├── provisioning.yaml         # Plain (no secrets)
        ├── secure.yaml                # Encrypted (SOPS auto-detects)
        ├── providers/
        │   ├── aws.toml               # Plain (no secrets)
        │   └── aws-credentials.enc.toml  # Encrypted
        └── platform/
            └── database.enc.yaml      # Encrypted

### 5. Git Integration

Add to `.gitignore`:

    # Unencrypted sensitive files
    **/secrets.yaml
    **/credentials.yaml
    **/*.dec.yaml
    **/*.dec.toml

    # Temporary decrypted files
    *.tmp.yaml
    *.tmp.toml

Commit encrypted files:

    # Encrypted files are safe to commit
    git add workspace/config/secure.enc.yaml
    git commit -m "Add encrypted configuration"

### 6. Rotation Strategy

Regular Key Rotation:

    # Generate new Age key
    age-keygen -o ~/.config/sops/age/keys-new.txt

    # Update .sops.yaml with new recipient

    # Rotate keys for file
    provisioning config rotate-keys workspace/config/secure.yaml <new-key-id>

Frequency:

- Development: Annually
- Production: Quarterly
- After team member departure: Immediately

### 7. Audit and Monitoring

Track encryption status:

    # Regular scans
    provisioning config scan-sensitive workspace --recursive

    # Validate encryption setup
    provisioning config validate-encryption

Monitor access (with Vault/AWS KMS):

- Enable audit logging
- Review access patterns
- Alert on anomalies

## Troubleshooting

### SOPS Not Found

Error:

    SOPS binary not found

Solution:

    # Install SOPS
    brew install sops

    # Verify
    sops --version

### Age Key Not Found

Error:

    Age key file not found: ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt

Solution:

    # Generate new key
    mkdir -p ~/.config/sops/age
    age-keygen -o ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt

    # Set environment variable
    export PROVISIONING_KAGE="$HOME/.config/sops/age/keys.txt"

### SOPS_AGE_RECIPIENTS Not Set

Error:

    no AGE_RECIPIENTS for file.yaml

Solution:

    # Extract public key from private key
    grep "public key:" ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt

    # Set environment variable
    export SOPS_AGE_RECIPIENTS="age1ql3z7hjy54pw3hyww5ayyfg7zqgvc7w3j2elw8zmrj2kg5sfn9aqmcac8p"

### Decryption Failed

Error:

    Failed to decrypt configuration file

Solutions:

1. Wrong key:

       # Verify you have the correct private key
       provisioning config validate-encryption

2. File corrupted:

       # Check file integrity
       sops --decrypt workspace/config/secure.yaml

3. Wrong backend:

       # Check SOPS metadata in file
       head -20 workspace/config/secure.yaml

### AWS KMS Access Denied

Error:

    AccessDeniedException: User is not authorized to perform: kms:Decrypt

Solution:

    # Check AWS credentials
    aws sts get-caller-identity

    # Verify KMS key policy allows your IAM user/role
    aws kms describe-key --key-id <key-arn>

### Vault Connection Failed

Error:

    Vault encryption failed: connection refused

Solution:

    # Verify Vault address
    echo $VAULT_ADDR

    # Check connectivity
    curl -k $VAULT_ADDR/v1/sys/health

    # Verify token
    vault token lookup

## Security Considerations

### Threat Model

Protected Against:

- ✅ Plaintext secrets in git
- ✅ Accidental secret exposure
- ✅ Unauthorized file access
- ✅ Key compromise (with rotation)

Not Protected Against:

- ❌ Memory dumps during decryption
- ❌ Root/admin access to running process
- ❌ Compromised Age/KMS keys
- ❌ Social engineering

### Security Best Practices

1. Principle of Least Privilege: Only grant decryption access to those who need it
2. Key Separation: Use different keys for different environments
3. Regular Audits: Review who has access to keys
4. Secure Key Storage: Never store private keys in git
5. Rotation: Regularly rotate encryption keys
6. Monitoring: Monitor decryption operations (with AWS KMS/Vault)

### File Naming Conventions

Automatically encrypted by SOPS:

- `workspace/*/config/secure.yaml` ← Auto-encrypted
- `*.enc.yaml` ← Auto-encrypted
- `*.enc.yml` ← Auto-encrypted
- `*.enc.toml` ← Auto-encrypted
- `workspace/*/config/providers/*credentials*.toml` ← Auto-encrypted

### Quick Workflow

    # Create config with secrets
    cat > workspace/config/secure.yaml <<EOF
    database:
      password: supersecret
    api_key: secret_key_123
    EOF

    # Encrypt in-place
    provisioning config encrypt workspace/config/secure.yaml --in-place

    # Verify encrypted
    provisioning config is-encrypted workspace/config/secure.yaml

    # Edit securely (decrypt -> edit -> re-encrypt)
    provisioning config edit-secure workspace/config/secure.yaml

    # Configs are auto-decrypted when loaded
    provisioning env  # Automatically decrypts secure.yaml

### KMS Backends

Backend | Use Case | Setup Command
--- | --- | ---
Age | Development, simple setup | `provisioning config init-encryption --kms age`
AWS KMS | Production, AWS environments | Configure in `.sops.yaml`
Vault | Enterprise, dynamic secrets | Set `VAULT_ADDR` and `VAULT_TOKEN`
Cosmian | Confidential computing | Configure in `config.toml`

### Security Checklist

- ✅ Encrypt all files with passwords, API keys, secrets
- ✅ Never commit unencrypted secrets to git
- ✅ Set file permissions: `chmod 600 ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt`
- ✅ Add plaintext files to `.gitignore`: `*.dec.yaml`, `secrets.yaml`
- ✅ Regular key rotation (quarterly for production)
- ✅ Separate keys per environment (dev/staging/prod)
- ✅ Backup Age keys securely (encrypted backup)

### Troubleshooting

Problem | Solution
--- | ---
`SOPS binary not found` | `brew install sops`
`Age key file not found` | `provisioning config init-encryption --kms age`
`SOPS_AGE_RECIPIENTS not set` | `export SOPS_AGE_RECIPIENTS="age1..."`
`Decryption failed` | Check key file: `provisioning config validate-encryption`
`AWS KMS Access Denied` | Verify IAM permissions: `aws sts get-caller-identity`

### Testing

    # Run all encryption tests
    nu provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/config/encryption_tests.nu

    # Run specific test
    nu provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/config/encryption_tests.nu --test roundtrip

    # Test full workflow
    nu provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/config/encryption_tests.nu test-full-encryption-workflow

    # Test KMS backend
    use lib_provisioning/kms/client.nu
    kms-test --backend age

### Integration

Configs are automatically decrypted when loaded:

    # Nushell code - encryption is transparent
    use lib_provisioning/config/loader.nu

    # Auto-decrypts encrypted files in memory
    let config = (load-provisioning-config)

    # Access secrets normally
    let db_password = ($config | get database.password)

### Emergency Key Recovery

If you lose your Age key:

### RustyVault Server Configuration

Create `rustyvault-config.hcl`:

    # RustyVault Server Configuration

    storage "file" {
      path = "/vault/data"
    }

    listener "tcp" {
      address     = "0.0.0.0:8200"
      tls_disable = true  # Enable TLS in production
    }

    api_addr = "http://127.0.0.1:8200"
    cluster_addr = "https://127.0.0.1:8201"

    # Enable Transit secrets engine
    default_lease_ttl = "168h"
    max_lease_ttl = "720h"

### Initialize RustyVault

    # Initialize (first time only)
    export VAULT_ADDR='http://127.0.0.1:8200'
    rustyvault operator init

    # Unseal (after every restart)
    rustyvault operator unseal <unseal_key_1>
    rustyvault operator unseal <unseal_key_2>
    rustyvault operator unseal <unseal_key_3>

    # Save root token
    export RUSTYVAULT_TOKEN='<root_token>'

### Enable Transit Engine

    # Enable transit secrets engine
    rustyvault secrets enable transit

    # Create encryption key
    rustyvault write -f transit/keys/provisioning-main

    # Verify key creation
    rustyvault read transit/keys/provisioning-main

## KMS Service Configuration

### Update `provisioning/config/kms.toml`

    [kms]
    type = "rustyvault"
    server_url = "http://localhost:8200"
    token = "${RUSTYVAULT_TOKEN}"
    mount_point = "transit"
    key_name = "provisioning-main"
    tls_verify = true

    [service]
    bind_addr = "0.0.0.0:8081"
    log_level = "info"
    audit_logging = true

    [tls]
    enabled = false  # Set true with HTTPS

### Environment Variables

    # RustyVault connection
    export RUSTYVAULT_ADDR="http://localhost:8200"
    export RUSTYVAULT_TOKEN="s.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    export RUSTYVAULT_MOUNT_POINT="transit"
    export RUSTYVAULT_KEY_NAME="provisioning-main"
    export RUSTYVAULT_TLS_VERIFY="true"

    # KMS service
    export KMS_BACKEND="rustyvault"
    export KMS_BIND_ADDR="0.0.0.0:8081"

## Usage

### Start KMS Service

    # With RustyVault backend
    cd provisioning/platform/kms-service
    cargo run

    # With custom config
    cargo run -- --config=/path/to/kms.toml

### CLI Operations

    # Encrypt configuration file
    provisioning kms encrypt provisioning/config/secrets.yaml

    # Decrypt configuration
    provisioning kms decrypt provisioning/config/secrets.yaml.enc

    # Generate data key (envelope encryption)
    provisioning kms generate-key --spec AES256

    # Health check
    provisioning kms health

### REST API Usage

    # Health check
    curl http://localhost:8081/health

    # Encrypt data
    curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/encrypt \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "plaintext": "SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==",
        "context": "environment=production"
      }'

    # Decrypt data
    curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/decrypt \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "ciphertext": "vault:v1:...",
        "context": "environment=production"
      }'

    # Generate data key
    curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/datakey/generate \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"key_spec": "AES_256"}'

## Advanced Features

### Context-based Encryption (AAD)

Additional authenticated data binds encrypted data to specific contexts:

    # Encrypt with context
    curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/encrypt \
      -d '{
        "plaintext": "c2VjcmV0",
        "context": "environment=prod,service=api"
      }'

    # Decrypt requires same context
    curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/decrypt \
      -d '{
        "ciphertext": "vault:v1:...",
        "context": "environment=prod,service=api"
      }'

### Envelope Encryption

For large files, use envelope encryption:

    # 1. Generate data key
    DATA_KEY=$(curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/datakey/generate \
      -d '{"key_spec": "AES_256"}' | jq -r '.plaintext')

    # 2. Encrypt large file with data key (locally)
    openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -in large-file.bin -out encrypted.bin -K $DATA_KEY

    # 3. Store encrypted data key (from response)
    echo "vault:v1:..." > encrypted-data-key.txt

### Key Rotation

    # Rotate encryption key in RustyVault
    rustyvault write -f transit/keys/provisioning-main/rotate

    # Verify new version
    rustyvault read transit/keys/provisioning-main

    # Rewrap existing ciphertext with new key version
    curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/rewrap \
      -d '{"ciphertext": "vault:v1:..."}'

## Production Deployment

### High Availability Setup

Deploy multiple RustyVault instances behind a load balancer:

    # docker-compose.yml
    version: '3.8'

    services:
      rustyvault-1:
        image: tongsuo/rustyvault:latest
        ports:
          - "8200:8200"
        volumes:
          - ./config:/vault/config
          - vault-data-1:/vault/data

      rustyvault-2:
        image: tongsuo/rustyvault:latest
        ports:
          - "8201:8200"
        volumes:
          - ./config:/vault/config
          - vault-data-2:/vault/data

      lb:
        image: nginx:alpine
        ports:
          - "80:80"
        volumes:
          - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
        depends_on:
          - rustyvault-1
          - rustyvault-2

    volumes:
      vault-data-1:
      vault-data-2:

### TLS Configuration

    # kms.toml
    [kms]
    type = "rustyvault"
    server_url = "https://vault.example.com:8200"
    token = "${RUSTYVAULT_TOKEN}"
    tls_verify = true

    [tls]
    enabled = true
    cert_path = "/etc/kms/certs/server.crt"
    key_path = "/etc/kms/certs/server.key"
    ca_path = "/etc/kms/certs/ca.crt"

### Auto-Unseal (AWS KMS)

    # rustyvault-config.hcl
    seal "awskms" {
      region     = "us-east-1"
      kms_key_id = "arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/..."
    }

## Monitoring

### Health Checks

    # RustyVault health
    curl http://localhost:8200/v1/sys/health

    # KMS service health
    curl http://localhost:8081/health

    # Metrics (if enabled)
    curl http://localhost:8081/metrics

### Audit Logging

Enable audit logging in RustyVault:

    # rustyvault-config.hcl
    audit {
      path = "/vault/logs/audit.log"
      format = "json"
    }

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. Connection Refused

    # Check RustyVault is running
    curl http://localhost:8200/v1/sys/health

    # Check token is valid
    export VAULT_ADDR='http://localhost:8200'
    rustyvault token lookup

2. Authentication Failed

    # Verify token in environment
    echo $RUSTYVAULT_TOKEN

    # Renew token if needed
    rustyvault token renew

3. Key Not Found

    # List available keys
    rustyvault list transit/keys

    # Create missing key
    rustyvault write -f transit/keys/provisioning-main

4. TLS Verification Failed

    # Disable TLS verification (dev only)
    export RUSTYVAULT_TLS_VERIFY=false

    # Or add CA certificate
    export RUSTYVAULT_CACERT=/path/to/ca.crt

## Migration from Other Backends

### From HashiCorp Vault

RustyVault is API-compatible, minimal changes required:

    # Old config (Vault)
    [kms]
    type = "vault"
    address = "https://vault.example.com:8200"
    token = "${VAULT_TOKEN}"

    # New config (RustyVault)
    [kms]
    type = "rustyvault"
    server_url = "http://rustyvault.example.com:8200"
    token = "${RUSTYVAULT_TOKEN}"

### From Age

Re-encrypt existing encrypted files:

    # 1. Decrypt with Age
    provisioning kms decrypt --backend age secrets.enc > secrets.plain

    # 2. Encrypt with RustyVault
    provisioning kms encrypt --backend rustyvault secrets.plain > secrets.rustyvault.enc

## Security Considerations

### Best Practices

1. Enable TLS: Always use HTTPS in production
2. Rotate Tokens: Regularly rotate RustyVault tokens
3. Least Privilege: Use policies to restrict token permissions
4. Audit Logging: Enable and monitor audit logs
5. Backup Keys: Secure backup of unseal keys and root token
6. Network Isolation: Run RustyVault in isolated network segment

### Token Policies

Create restricted policy for KMS service:

    # kms-policy.hcl
    path "transit/encrypt/provisioning-main" {
      capabilities = ["update"]
    }

    path "transit/decrypt/provisioning-main" {
      capabilities = ["update"]
    }

    path "transit/datakey/plaintext/provisioning-main" {
      capabilities = ["update"]
    }

Apply policy:

    rustyvault policy write kms-service kms-policy.hcl
    rustyvault token create -policy=kms-service

## Performance

### Benchmarks (Estimated)

Operation | Latency | Throughput
--- | --- | ---
Encrypt | 5-15 ms | 2,000-5,000 ops/sec
Decrypt | 5-15 ms | 2,000-5,000 ops/sec
Generate Key | 10-20 ms | 1,000-2,000 ops/sec

Actual performance depends on hardware, network, and RustyVault configuration

### Optimization Tips

1. Connection Pooling: Reuse HTTP connections
2. Batching: Batch multiple operations when possible
3. Caching: Cache data keys for envelope encryption
4. Local Unseal: Use auto-unseal for faster restarts

    tls_key_file = "/path/to/client.key"

### PostgreSQL (Enterprise)

Relational database backend.

Pros:

- Mature and reliable
- Advanced querying
- Full ACID transactions

Cons:

- Schema requirements
- External database dependency
- More operational overhead

Configuration:

    [secretumvault.storage.postgresql]
    connection_url = "postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/secretumvault"
    max_connections = 10
    ssl_mode = "require"

## Troubleshooting

### Connection Errors

Error: “Failed to connect to SecretumVault service”

Solutions:

1. Verify SecretumVault is running:

       curl http://localhost:8200/v1/sys/health

2. Check server URL configuration:

       provisioning config show secretumvault.server_url

3. Verify network connectivity:

       nc -zv localhost 8200

### Authentication Failures

Error: “Authentication failed: X-Vault-Token missing or invalid”

Solutions:

1. Set authentication token:

       export SECRETUMVAULT_TOKEN=your-token

2. Verify token is still valid:

       provisioning secrets verify-token

3. Get new token from SecretumVault:

       secretumvault auth login

### Storage Backend Errors

#### Filesystem Backend

Error: “Permission denied: ~/.config/provisioning/secretumvault/data”

Solution: Check directory permissions:

    ls -la ~/.config/provisioning/secretumvault/
    # Should be: drwx------ (0700)
    chmod 700 ~/.config/provisioning/secretumvault/data

#### SurrealDB Backend

Error: “Failed to connect to SurrealDB at ws://localhost:8000”

Solution: Start SurrealDB first:

    surreal start --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 file://secretum.db

#### etcd Backend

Error: “etcd cluster unhealthy”

Solution: Check etcd cluster status:

    etcdctl member list
    etcdctl endpoint health

    # Verify all nodes are reachable
    curl http://etcd1:2379/health
    curl http://etcd2:2379/health
    curl http://etcd3:2379/health

### Performance Issues

Slow encryption/decryption:

1. Check network latency (for service mode):

       ping -c 3 secretumvault-server

2. Monitor SecretumVault performance:

       provisioning kms metrics

3. Check storage backend performance:

   - Filesystem: Check disk I/O
   - SurrealDB: Monitor database load
   - etcd: Check cluster consensus state

High memory usage:

1. Check cache settings:

       provisioning config show secretumvault.performance.cache_ttl

2. Reduce cache TTL:

       provisioning config set secretumvault.performance.cache_ttl 60

3. Monitor active connections:

       provisioning kms status

### Debugging

Enable debug logging:

    export RUST_LOG=debug
    provisioning kms encrypt config.yaml

Check configuration:

    provisioning config show secretumvault
    provisioning config validate

Test connectivity:

    provisioning kms health --verbose

View audit logs:

    tail -f ~/.config/provisioning/logs/secretumvault-audit.log

## Security Best Practices

### Token Management

- Never commit tokens to version control
- Use environment variables or `.env` files (gitignored)
- Rotate tokens regularly
- Use different tokens per environment

### TLS/SSL

- Enable TLS verification in production:

      export SECRETUMVAULT_TLS_VERIFY=true

- Use proper certificates (not self-signed in production)

- Pin certificates to prevent MITM attacks

### Access Control

- Restrict who can access SecretumVault admin UI
- Use strong authentication (MFA preferred)
- Audit all secrets access
- Implement least-privilege principle

### Key Rotation

- Rotate keys regularly (every 90 days recommended)
- Keep old versions for decryption
- Test rotation procedures in staging first
- Monitor rotation status

### Backup and Recovery

- Backup SecretumVault data regularly
- Test restore procedures
- Store backups securely
- Keep backup keys separate from encrypted data

## Migration Guide

### From Age to SecretumVault

    # Export all secrets encrypted with Age
    provisioning secrets export --backend age --output secrets.json

    # Import into SecretumVault
    provisioning secrets import --backend secretumvault secrets.json

    # Re-encrypt all configurations
    find workspace/infra -name "*.enc" -exec provisioning kms reencrypt {} \;

### From RustyVault to SecretumVault

    # Both use Vault-compatible APIs, so migration is simpler:
    # 1. Ensure SecretumVault keys are available
    # 2. Update KMS_PROD_BACKEND=secretumvault
    # 3. Test with staging first
    # 4. Monitor during transition

### From Cosmian to SecretumVault

    # For production migration:
    # 1. Set up SecretumVault with etcd backend
    # 2. Verify high availability is working
    # 3. Run parallel encryption with both systems
    # 4. Validate all decryptions work
    # 5. Update KMS_PROD_BACKEND=secretumvault
    # 6. Monitor closely for 24 hours
    # 7. Keep Cosmian as fallback for 7 days

## Performance Tuning

### Development (Filesystem)

    [secretumvault.performance]
    max_connections = 5
    connection_timeout = 5
    request_timeout = 30
    cache_ttl = 60

### Staging (SurrealDB)

    [secretumvault.performance]
    max_connections = 20
    connection_timeout = 5
    request_timeout = 30
    cache_ttl = 300

### Production (etcd)

    [secretumvault.performance]
    max_connections = 50
    connection_timeout = 10
    request_timeout = 30
    cache_ttl = 600

## Compliance and Audit

### Audit Logging

All operations are logged:

    # View recent audit events
    provisioning kms audit --limit 100

    # Export audit logs
    provisioning kms audit export --output audit.json

    # Audit specific operations
    provisioning kms audit --action encrypt --from 24h

### Compliance Reports

    # Generate compliance report
    provisioning compliance report --backend secretumvault

    # GDPR data export
    provisioning compliance gdpr-export user@example.com

    # SOC2 audit trail
    provisioning compliance soc2-export --output soc2-audit.json

## Advanced Topics

### Cedar Authorization Policies

Enable fine-grained access control:

    # Enable Cedar integration
    provisioning config set secretumvault.authorization.cedar_enabled true

    # Define access policies
    provisioning policy define-kms-access user@example.com admin
    provisioning policy define-kms-access deployer@example.com deploy-only

### Key Encryption Keys (KEK)

Configure master key settings:

    # Set KEK rotation interval
    provisioning config set secretumvault.rotation.rotation_interval_days 90

    # Enable automatic rotation
    provisioning config set secretumvault.rotation.auto_rotate true

    # Retain old versions for decryption
    provisioning config set secretumvault.rotation.retain_old_versions true

### Multi-Region Setup

For production deployments across regions:

    # Region 1
    export SECRETUMVAULT_URL=https://kms-us-east.example.com
    export SECRETUMVAULT_STORAGE=etcd

    # Region 2 (for failover)
    export SECRETUMVAULT_URL_FALLBACK=https://kms-us-west.example.com

# SSH Temporal Keys - User Guide

## Quick Start

### Generate and Connect with Temporary Key

The fastest way to use temporal SSH keys:

    # Auto-generate, deploy, and connect (key auto-revoked after disconnect)
    ssh connect server.example.com

    # Connect with custom user and TTL
    ssh connect server.example.com --user deploy --ttl 30 min

    # Keep key active after disconnect
    ssh connect server.example.com --keep

### Manual Key Management

For more control over the key lifecycle:

    # 1. Generate key
    ssh generate-key server.example.com --user root --ttl 1hr

    # Output:
    # ✓ SSH key generated successfully
    #   Key ID: abc-123-def-456
    #   Type: dynamickeypair
    #   User: root
    #   Server: server.example.com
    #   Expires: 2024-01-01T13:00:00Z
    #   Fingerprint: SHA256:...
    #
    # Private Key (save securely):
    # -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
    # ...
    # -----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

    # 2. Deploy key to server
    ssh deploy-key abc-123-def-456

    # 3. Use the private key to connect
    ssh -i /path/to/private/key root@server.example.com

    # 4. Revoke when done
    ssh revoke-key abc-123-def-456

## Key Features

### Automatic Expiration

All keys expire automatically after their TTL:

- Default TTL: 1 hour
- Configurable: From 5 minutes to 24 hours
- Background Cleanup: Automatic removal from servers every 5 minutes

### Multiple Key Types

Choose the right key type for your use case:

Type | Description | Use Case
--- | --- | ---
dynamic (default) | Generated Ed25519 keys | Quick SSH access
ca | Vault CA-signed certificate | Enterprise with SSH CA
otp | Vault one-time password | Single-use access

### Security Benefits

✅ No static SSH keys to manage ✅ Short-lived credentials (1 hour default) ✅ Automatic cleanup on expiration ✅ Audit trail for all operations ✅ Private keys never stored on disk

## Common Usage Patterns

### Development Workflow

    # Quick SSH for debugging
    ssh connect dev-server.local --ttl 30 min

    # Execute commands
    ssh root@dev-server.local "systemctl status nginx"

    # Connection closes, key auto-revokes

### Production Deployment

    # Generate key with longer TTL for deployment
    ssh generate-key prod-server.example.com --ttl 2hr

    # Deploy to server
    ssh deploy-key <key-id>

    # Run deployment script
    ssh -i /tmp/deploy-key root@prod-server.example.com < deploy.sh

    # Manual revoke when done
    ssh revoke-key <key-id>

### Multi-Server Access

    # Generate one key
    ssh generate-key server01.example.com --ttl 1hr

    # Use the same private key for multiple servers (if you have provisioning access)
    # Note: Currently each key is server-specific, multi-server support coming soon

Hours | `2hr` | 2 hours
Mixed | `1hr 30 min` | 1.5 hours
Seconds | `3600sec` | 1 hour

## Working with Private Keys

### Saving Private Keys

When you generate a key, save the private key immediately:

    # Generate and save to file
    ssh generate-key server.example.com | get private_key | save -f ~/.ssh/temp_key
    chmod 600 ~/.ssh/temp_key

    # Use the key
    ssh -i ~/.ssh/temp_key root@server.example.com

    # Cleanup
    rm ~/.ssh/temp_key

### Using SSH Agent

Add the temporary key to your SSH agent:

    # Generate key and extract private key
    ssh generate-key server.example.com | get private_key | save -f /tmp/temp_key
    chmod 600 /tmp/temp_key

    # Add to agent
    ssh-add /tmp/temp_key

    # Connect (agent provides the key automatically)
    ssh root@server.example.com

    # Remove from agent
    ssh-add -d /tmp/temp_key
    rm /tmp/temp_key

## Troubleshooting

### Key Deployment Fails

Problem: `ssh deploy-key` returns error

Solutions:

1. Check SSH connectivity to server:

       ssh root@server.example.com

2. Verify provisioning key is configured:

       echo $PROVISIONING_SSH_KEY

3. Check server SSH daemon:

       ssh root@server.example.com "systemctl status sshd"

### Private Key Not Working

Problem: SSH connection fails with “Permission denied (publickey)”

Solutions:

1. Verify key was deployed:

       ssh list-keys | where id == "<key-id>"

2. Check key hasn’t expired:

       ssh get-key <key-id> | get expires_at

3. Verify private key permissions:

       chmod 600 /path/to/private/key

### Cleanup Not Running

Problem: Expired keys not being removed

Solutions:

1. Check orchestrator is running:

       curl http://localhost:9090/health

2. Trigger manual cleanup:

       ssh cleanup

3. Check orchestrator logs:

       tail -f ./data/orchestrator.log | grep SSH

## Best Practices

### Security

1. Short TTLs: Use the shortest TTL that works for your task

       ssh connect server.example.com --ttl 30 min

2. Immediate Revocation: Revoke keys when you’re done

       ssh revoke-key <key-id>

3. Private Key Handling: Never share or commit private keys

       # Save to temp location, delete after use
       ssh generate-key server.example.com | get private_key | save -f /tmp/key
       # ... use key ...
       rm /tmp/key

### Workflow Integration

1. Automated Deployments: Generate key in CI/CD

       #!/bin/bash
       KEY_ID=$(ssh generate-key prod.example.com --ttl 1hr | get id)
       ssh deploy-key $KEY_ID
       # Run deployment
       ansible-playbook deploy.yml
       ssh revoke-key $KEY_ID

2. Interactive Use: Use `ssh connect` for quick access

       ssh connect dev.example.com

3. Monitoring: Check statistics regularly

       ssh stats

## Advanced Usage

### Vault Integration

If your organization uses HashiCorp Vault:

#### CA Mode (Recommended)

    # Generate CA-signed certificate
    ssh generate-key server.example.com --type ca --principal admin --ttl 1hr

    # Vault signs your public key
    # Server must trust Vault CA certificate

Setup (one-time):

    # On servers, add to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
    TrustedUserCAKeys /etc/ssh/trusted-user-ca-keys.pem

    # Get Vault CA public key:
    vault read -field=public_key ssh/config/ca | \
      sudo tee /etc/ssh/trusted-user-ca-keys.pem

    # Restart SSH:
    sudo systemctl restart sshd

#### OTP Mode

    # Generate one-time password
    ssh generate-key server.example.com --type otp --ip 192.168.1.100

    # Use the OTP to connect (single use only)

### Scripting

Use in scripts for automated operations:

    # deploy.nu
    def deploy [target: string] {
        let key = (ssh generate-key $target --ttl 1hr)
        ssh deploy-key $key.id

        # Run deployment
        try {
            ssh $"root@($target)" "bash /path/to/deploy.sh"
        } catch {
            print "Deployment failed"
        }

        # Always cleanup
        ssh revoke-key $key.id
    }

## API Integration

For programmatic access, use the REST API:

    # Generate key
    curl -X POST http://localhost:9090/api/v1/ssh/generate \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "key_type": "dynamickeypair",
        "user": "root",
        "target_server": "server.example.com",
        "ttl_seconds": 3600
      }'

    # Deploy key
    curl -X POST http://localhost:9090/api/v1/ssh/{key_id}/deploy

    # List keys
    curl http://localhost:9090/api/v1/ssh/keys

    # Get stats
    curl http://localhost:9090/api/v1/ssh/stats

## FAQ

Q: Can I use the same key for multiple servers? A: Currently, each key is tied to a specific server. Multi-server support is planned.

Q: What happens if the orchestrator crashes? A: Keys in memory are lost, but keys already deployed to servers remain until their expiration time.

Q: Can I extend the TTL of an existing key? A: No, you must generate a new key. This is by design for security.

Q: What’s the maximum TTL? A: Configurable by admin, default maximum is 24 hours.

Q: Are private keys stored anywhere? A: Private keys exist only in memory during generation and are shown once to the user. They are never written to disk by the system.

Q: What happens if cleanup fails? A: The key remains in authorized_keys until the next cleanup run. You can trigger manual cleanup with `ssh cleanup`.

Q: Can I use this with non-root users? A: Yes, use `--user <username>` when generating the key.

Q: How do I know when my key will expire? A: Use `ssh get-key <key-id>` to see the exact expiration timestamp.

## Overview

The Provisioning Platform provides three native Nushell plugins that dramatically improve performance and user experience compared to traditional HTTP API calls:

Plugin | Purpose | Performance Gain
--- | --- | ---
nu_plugin_auth | JWT authentication, MFA, session management | 20% faster
nu_plugin_kms | Encryption/decryption with multiple KMS backends | 10x faster
nu_plugin_orchestrator | Orchestrator operations without HTTP overhead | 50x faster

### Architecture Benefits

    Traditional HTTP Flow:
    User Command → HTTP Request → Network → Server Processing → Response → Parse JSON
      Total: ~50-100 ms per operation

    Plugin Flow:
    User Command → Direct Rust Function Call → Return Nushell Data Structure
      Total: ~1-10 ms per operation

### Key Features

✅ Performance: 10-50x faster than HTTP API ✅ Type Safety: Full Nushell type system integration ✅ Pipeline Support: Native Nushell data structures ✅ Offline Capability: KMS and orchestrator work without network ✅ OS Integration: Native keyring for secure token storage ✅ Graceful Fallback: HTTP still available if plugins not installed

## Why Native Plugins

### Performance Comparison

Real-world benchmarks from production workload:

Operation | HTTP API | Plugin | Improvement | Speedup
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
KMS Encrypt (RustyVault) | ~50 ms | ~5 ms | -45 ms | 10x
KMS Decrypt (RustyVault) | ~50 ms | ~5 ms | -45 ms | 10x
KMS Encrypt (Age) | ~30 ms | ~3 ms | -27 ms | 10x
KMS Decrypt (Age) | ~30 ms | ~3 ms | -27 ms | 10x
Orchestrator Status | ~30 ms | ~1 ms | -29 ms | 30x
Orchestrator Tasks List | ~50 ms | ~5 ms | -45 ms | 10x
Orchestrator Validate | ~100 ms | ~10 ms | -90 ms | 10x
Auth Login | ~100 ms | ~80 ms | -20 ms | 1.25x
Auth Verify | ~50 ms | ~10 ms | -40 ms | 5x
Auth MFA Verify | ~80 ms | ~60 ms | -20 ms | 1.3x

### Use Case: Batch Processing

Scenario: Encrypt 100 configuration files

    # HTTP API approach
    ls configs/*.yaml | each { |file|
        http post http://localhost:9998/encrypt { data: (open $file) }
    } | save encrypted/
    # Total time: ~5 seconds (50 ms × 100)

    # Plugin approach
    ls configs/*.yaml | each { |file|
        kms encrypt (open $file) --backend rustyvault
    } | save encrypted/
    # Total time: ~0.5 seconds (5 ms × 100)
    # Result: 10x faster

### Developer Experience Benefits

1. Native Nushell Integration

    # HTTP: Parse JSON, check status codes
    let result = http post http://localhost:9998/encrypt { data: "secret" }
    if $result.status == "success" {
        $result.encrypted
    } else {
        error make { msg: $result.error }
    }

    # Plugin: Direct return values
    kms encrypt "secret"
    # Returns encrypted string directly, errors use Nushell's error system

2. Pipeline Friendly

    # HTTP: Requires wrapping, JSON parsing
    ["secret1", "secret2"] | each { |s|
        (http post http://localhost:9998/encrypt { data: $s }).encrypted
    }

    # Plugin: Natural pipeline flow
    ["secret1", "secret2"] | each { |s| kms encrypt $s }

3. Tab Completion

    # All plugin commands have full tab completion
    kms <TAB>
    # → encrypt, decrypt, generate-key, status, backends

    kms encrypt --<TAB>
    # → --backend, --key, --context

### Troubleshooting Authentication

“No active session”

    # Solution: Login first
    auth login <username>

“Keyring error” (macOS)

    # Check Keychain Access permissions
    # System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Full Disk Access
    # Add: /Applications/Nushell.app (or /usr/local/bin/nu)

    # Or grant access manually
    security unlock-keychain ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db

“Keyring error” (Linux)

    # Install keyring service
    sudo apt install gnome-keyring      # Ubuntu/Debian
    sudo dnf install gnome-keyring      # Fedora
    sudo pacman -S gnome-keyring        # Arch

    # Or use KWallet (KDE)
    sudo apt install kwalletmanager

    # Start keyring daemon
    eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon --start)
    export $(gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=secrets)

“MFA verification failed”

    # Check time synchronization (TOTP requires accurate time)
    # macOS:
    sudo sntp -sS time.apple.com

    # Linux:
    sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
    # Or
    sudo systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd

    # Use backup code if TOTP not working
    auth mfa verify --code ABCD-EFGH-IJKL

    # (uses AGE_IDENTITY from environment)

    # With context (must match encryption context)
    kms decrypt "vault:v1:abc123..." --context "user=admin,env=production"

    # Decrypt file
    kms decrypt (open config.yaml.enc) | save config.yaml

    # Decrypt multiple files
    ls encrypted/*.enc | each { |file|
        kms decrypt (open $file.name)
            | save $"configs/(($file.name | path basename) | str replace '.enc' '')"
    }

    # Pipeline decryption
    open secrets.json
        | get database_password_enc
        | kms decrypt
        | str trim
        | psql --dbname mydb --password

Error Cases:

    # Invalid ciphertext
    kms decrypt "invalid_data"
    # Error: Invalid ciphertext format
    # → Verify data was encrypted with KMS

    # Context mismatch
    kms decrypt "vault:v1:abc..." --context "wrong=context"
    # Error: Authentication failed (AAD mismatch)
    # → Verify encryption context matches

    # Backend unavailable
    kms decrypt "vault:v1:abc..."
    # Error: Failed to connect to RustyVault at http://localhost:8200
    # → Check RustyVault is running: curl http://localhost:8200/v1/sys/health

#### `kms generate-key [--spec <spec>]`

    #   "plaintext": "rKz3N8xPq...",  # base64-encoded key
    #   "ciphertext": "vault:v1:...",  # encrypted DEK
    #   "spec": "AES256"
    # }

    # Generate AES-128 key
    kms generate-key --spec AES128

    # Use in envelope encryption pattern
    let dek = kms generate-key
    let encrypted_data = ($data | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -K $dek.plaintext)
    {
        data: $encrypted_data,
        encrypted_key: $dek.ciphertext
    } | save secure_data.json

    # Later, decrypt:
    let envelope = open secure_data.json
    let dek = kms decrypt $envelope.encrypted_key
    $envelope.data | openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -K $dek

Use Cases:

- Envelope encryption (encrypt large data locally, protect DEK with KMS)
- Database field encryption
- File encryption with key wrapping

#### `kms status`

Show KMS backend status, configuration, and health.

Examples:

    # Show current backend status

### Troubleshooting KMS

“RustyVault connection failed”

    # Check RustyVault is running
    curl http://localhost:8200/v1/sys/health
    # Expected: { "initialized": true, "sealed": false }

    # Check environment
    echo $env.RUSTYVAULT_ADDR
    echo $env.RUSTYVAULT_TOKEN

    # Test authentication
    curl -H "X-Vault-Token: $RUSTYVAULT_TOKEN" $RUSTYVAULT_ADDR/v1/sys/health

“Age encryption failed”

    # Check Age keys exist
    ls -la ~/.age/
    # Expected: key.txt

    # Verify key format
    cat ~/.age/key.txt | head -1
    # Expected: # created: <date>
    # Line 2: # public key: age1xxxxx

## Orchestrator Plugin (nu_plugin_orchestrator)

The orchestrator plugin provides direct file-based access to orchestrator state, eliminating HTTP overhead for status queries and validation.

### Available Commands

Command | Purpose | Example
--- | --- | ---
`orch status` | Orchestrator status | `orch status`
`orch validate` | Validate workflow | `orch validate workflow.ncl`
`orch tasks` | List tasks | `orch tasks --status running`

### Command Reference

#### `orch status [--data-dir <dir>]`

Get orchestrator status from local files (no HTTP, ~1 ms latency).

Flags:

- `--data-dir <dir>`: Data directory (default from `ORCHESTRATOR_DATA_DIR`)

Examples:

    # Default data directory
    orch status
    # {
    #   "active_tasks": 5,
    #   "completed_tasks": 120,
    #   "failed_tasks": 2,
    #   "pending_tasks": 3,
    #   "uptime": "2d 4h 15m",
    #   "health": "healthy"
    # }

    # Custom data directory
    orch status --data-dir /opt/orchestrator/data

    # Monitor in loop
    while true {
        clear
        orch status | table
        sleep 5sec
    }

    # Alert on failures
    if (orch status | get failed_tasks) > 0 {
        echo "⚠️ Failed tasks detected!"
    }

#### `orch validate <workflow.ncl> [--strict]`

Validate workflow Nickel file syntax and structure.

Arguments:

- `workflow.ncl` (required): Path to Nickel workflow file

Flags:

- `--strict`: Enable strict validation (warnings as errors)

Examples:

    # Basic validation
    orch validate workflows/deploy.ncl
    # {
    #   "valid": true,
    #   "workflow": {
    #     "name": "deploy_k8s_cluster",
    #     "version": "1.0.0",
    #     "operations": 5
    #   },
    #   "warnings": [],
    #   "errors": []
    # }

    # Strict mode (warnings cause failure)
    orch validate workflows/deploy.ncl --strict
    # Error: Validation failed with warnings:
    # - Operation 'create_servers': Missing retry_policy
    # - Operation 'install_k8s': Resource limits not specified

    # Validate all workflows
    ls workflows/*.ncl | each { |file|
        let result = orch validate $file.name
        if $result.valid {
            echo $"✓ ($file.name)"
        } else {
            echo $"✗ ($file.name): ($result.errors | str join ', ')"
        }
    }

    # CI/CD validation
    try {
        orch validate workflow.ncl --strict
        echo "✓ Validation passed"
    } catch {
        echo "✗ Validation failed"
        exit 1
    }

Validation Checks:

- ✅ KCL syntax correctness
- ✅ Required fields present (`name`, `version`, `operations`)
- ✅ Dependency graph valid (no cycles)
- ✅ Resource limits within bounds
- ✅ Provider configurations valid
- ✅ Operation types supported
- ⚠️ Optional: Retry policies defined
- ⚠️ Optional: Resource limits specified

#### `orch tasks [--status <status>] [--limit <n>]`

List orchestrator tasks from local state.

Flags:

- `--status <status>`: Filter by status (`pending`, `running`, `completed`, `failed`)
- `--limit <n>`: Limit results (default: 100)
- `--data-dir <dir>`: Data directory

Examples:

    # All tasks (last 100)
    orch tasks
    # [
    #   {
    #     "task_id": "task_abc123",
    #     "name": "deploy_kubernetes",
    #     "status": "running",
    #     "priority": 5,
    #     "created_at": "2025-10-09T12:00:00Z",
    #     "progress": 45
    #   }
    # ]

    # Running tasks only
    orch tasks --status running

    # Failed tasks (last 10)
    orch tasks --status failed --limit 10

    # Pending high-priority tasks
    orch tasks --status pending | where priority > 7

    # Monitor active tasks
    watch {
        orch tasks --status running
            | select name progress updated_at
            | table
    }

    # Count tasks by status
    orch tasks | group-by status | each { |group|
        { status: $group.0, count: ($group.1 | length) }
    }

### Environment Variables

Variable | Description | Default
--- | --- | ---
`ORCHESTRATOR_DATA_DIR` | Data directory | `provisioning/platform/orchestrator/data`

### Performance Comparison

Operation | HTTP API | Plugin | Latency Reduction
--- | --- | --- | ---
Status query | ~30 ms | ~1 ms | 97% faster
Validate workflow | ~100 ms | ~10 ms | 90% faster
List tasks | ~50 ms | ~5 ms | 90% faster

Use Case: CI/CD Pipeline

    # HTTP approach (slow)
    http get http://localhost:9090/tasks --status running
        | each { |task| http get $"http://localhost:9090/tasks/($task.id)" }
    # Total: ~500 ms for 10 tasks

    # Plugin approach (fast)
    orch tasks --status running
    # Total: ~5 ms for 10 tasks
    # Result: 100x faster

### Troubleshooting Orchestrator

“Failed to read status”

    # Check data directory exists
    ls -la provisioning/platform/orchestrator/data/

    # Create if missing
    mkdir -p provisioning/platform/orchestrator/data

    # Check permissions (must be readable)
    chmod 755 provisioning/platform/orchestrator/data

“Workflow validation failed”

    # Use strict mode for detailed errors
    orch validate workflows/deploy.ncl --strict

    # Check Nickel syntax manually
    nickel typecheck workflows/deploy.ncl
    nickel eval workflows/deploy.ncl

“No tasks found”

    # Check orchestrator running
    ps aux | grep orchestrator

    # Start orchestrator if not running
    cd provisioning/platform/orchestrator
    ./scripts/start-orchestrator.nu --background

    # Check task files
    ls provisioning/platform/orchestrator/data/tasks/

## Integration Examples

### Example 1: Complete Authenticated Deployment

Full workflow with authentication, secrets, and deployment:

    # Step 1: Login with MFA
    auth login admin
    auth mfa verify --code (input "MFA code: ")

    # Step 2: Verify orchestrator health
    if (orch status | get health) != "healthy" {
        error make { msg: "Orchestrator unhealthy" }
    }

    # Step 3: Validate deployment workflow
    let validation = orch validate workflows/production-deploy.ncl --strict
    if not $validation.valid {
        error make { msg: $"Validation failed: ($validation.errors)" }
    }

    # Step 4: Encrypt production secrets
    let secrets = open secrets/production.yaml
    kms encrypt ($secrets | to json) --backend rustyvault --key prod-main
        | save secrets/production.enc

    # Step 5: Submit deployment
    provisioning cluster create production --check

    # Step 6: Monitor progress
    while (orch tasks --status running | length) > 0 {
        orch tasks --status running
            | select name progress updated_at
            | table
        sleep 10sec
    }

    echo "✓ Deployment complete"

### Example 2: Batch Secret Rotation

Rotate all secrets in multiple environments:

    # Rotate database passwords
    ["dev", "staging", "production"] | each { |env|
        # Generate new password
        let new_password = (openssl rand -base64 32)

        # Encrypt with environment-specific key
        let encrypted = kms encrypt $new_password --backend rustyvault --key $"($env)-main"

        # Save encrypted password
        {
            environment: $env,
            password_enc: $encrypted,
            rotated_at: (date now | format date "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
        } | save $"secrets/db-password-($env).json"

        echo $"✓ Rotated password for ($env)"
    }

### Example 3: Multi-Environment Deployment

Deploy to multiple environments with validation:

    # Define environments
    let environments = [
        { name: "dev", validate: "basic" },
        { name: "staging", validate: "strict" },
        { name: "production", validate: "strict", mfa_required: true }
    ]

    # Deploy to each environment
    $environments | each { |env|
        echo $"Deploying to ($env.name)..."

        # Authenticate if production
        if $env.mfa_required? {
            if not (auth verify | get mfa_verified) {
                auth mfa verify --code (input $"MFA code for ($env.name): ")
            }
        }

        # Validate workflow
        let validation = if $env.validate == "strict" {
            orch validate $"workflows/($env.name)-deploy.ncl" --strict
        } else {
            orch validate $"workflows/($env.name)-deploy.ncl"
        }

        if not $validation.valid {
            echo $"✗ Validation failed for ($env.name)"
            continue
        }

        # Decrypt secrets
        let secrets = kms decrypt (open $"secrets/($env.name).enc")

        # Deploy
        provisioning cluster create $env.name

        echo $"✓ Deployed to ($env.name)"
    }

### Example 4: Automated Backup and Encryption

Backup configuration files with encryption:

    # Backup script
    let backup_dir = $"backups/(date now | format date "%Y%m%d-%H%M%S")"
    mkdir $backup_dir

    # Backup and encrypt configs
    ls configs/**/*.yaml | each { |file|
        let encrypted = kms encrypt (open $file.name) --backend age
        let backup_path = $"($backup_dir)/($file.name | path basename).enc"
        $encrypted | save $backup_path
        echo $"✓ Backed up ($file.name)"
    }

    # Create manifest
    {
        backup_date: (date now),
        files: (ls $"($backup_dir)/*.enc" | length),
        backend: "age"
    } | save $"($backup_dir)/manifest.json"

    echo $"✓ Backup complete: ($backup_dir)"

### Example 5: Health Monitoring Dashboard

Real-time health monitoring:

    # Health dashboard
    while true {
        clear

        # Header
        echo "=== Provisioning Platform Health Dashboard ==="
        echo $"Updated: (date now | format date "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")"
        echo ""

        # Authentication status
        let auth_status = try { auth verify } catch { { active: false } }
        echo $"Auth: (if $auth_status.active { '✓ Active' } else { '✗ Inactive' })"

        # KMS status
        let kms_health = kms status
        echo $"KMS: (if $kms_health.status == 'healthy' { '✓ Healthy' } else { '✗ Unhealthy' })"

        # Orchestrator status
        let orch_health = orch status
        echo $"Orchestrator: (if $orch_health.health == 'healthy' { '✓ Healthy' } else { '✗ Unhealthy' })"
        echo $"Active Tasks: ($orch_health.active_tasks)"
        echo $"Failed Tasks: ($orch_health.failed_tasks)"

        # Task summary
        echo ""
        echo "=== Running Tasks ==="
        orch tasks --status running
            | select name progress updated_at
            | table

        sleep 10sec
    }

## Best Practices

### When to Use Plugins vs HTTP

✅ Use Plugins When:

- Performance is critical (high-frequency operations)
- Working in pipelines (Nushell data structures)
- Need offline capability (KMS, orchestrator local ops)
- Building automation scripts
- CI/CD pipelines

Use HTTP When:

- Calling from external systems (not Nushell)
- Need consistent REST API interface
- Cross-language integration
- Web UI backend

### Performance Optimization

1. Batch Operations

    # ❌ Slow: Individual HTTP calls in loop
    ls configs/*.yaml | each { |file|
        http post http://localhost:9998/encrypt { data: (open $file.name) }
    }
    # Total: ~5 seconds (50 ms × 100)

    # ✅ Fast: Plugin in pipeline
    ls configs/*.yaml | each { |file|
        kms encrypt (open $file.name)
    }
    # Total: ~0.5 seconds (5 ms × 100)

2. Parallel Processing

    # Process multiple operations in parallel
    ls configs/*.yaml
        | par-each { |file|
            kms encrypt (open $file.name) | save $"encrypted/($file.name).enc"
        }

3. Caching Session State

    # Cache auth verification
    let $auth_cache = auth verify
    if $auth_cache.active {
        # Use cached result instead of repeated calls
        echo $"Authenticated as ($auth_cache.user)"
    }

### Error Handling

Graceful Degradation:

    # Try plugin, fallback to HTTP if unavailable
    def kms_encrypt [data: string] {
        try {
            kms encrypt $data
        } catch {
            http post http://localhost:9998/encrypt { data: $data } | get encrypted
        }
    }

Comprehensive Error Handling:

    # Handle all error cases
    def safe_deployment [] {
        # Check authentication
        let auth_status = try {
            auth verify
        } catch {
            echo "✗ Authentication failed, logging in..."
            auth login admin
            auth verify
        }

        # Check KMS health
        let kms_health = try {
            kms status
        } catch {
            error make { msg: "KMS unavailable, cannot proceed" }
        }

        # Validate workflow
        let validation = try {
            orch validate workflow.ncl --strict
        } catch {
            error make { msg: "Workflow validation failed" }
        }

        # Proceed if all checks pass
        if $auth_status.active and $kms_health.status == "healthy" and $validation.valid {
            echo "✓ All checks passed, deploying..."
            provisioning cluster create production
        }
    }

### Security Best Practices

1. Never Log Decrypted Data

    # ❌ BAD: Logs plaintext password
    let password = kms decrypt $encrypted_password
    echo $"Password: ($password)"  # Visible in logs!

    # ✅ GOOD: Use directly without logging
    let password = kms decrypt $encrypted_password
    psql --dbname mydb --password $password  # Not logged

2. Use Context (AAD) for Critical Data

    # Encrypt with context
    let context = $"user=(whoami),env=production,date=(date now | format date "%Y-%m-%d")"
    kms encrypt $sensitive_data --context $context

    # Decrypt requires same context
    kms decrypt $encrypted --context $context

3. Rotate Backup Codes

    # After using backup code, generate new set
    auth mfa verify --code ABCD-EFGH-IJKL
    # Warning: Backup code used
    auth mfa regenerate-backups
    # New backup codes generated

4. Limit Token Lifetime

    # Check token expiration before long operations
    let session = auth verify
    let expires_in = (($session.expires_at | into datetime) - (date now))
    if $expires_in < 5 min {
        echo "⚠️ Token expiring soon, re-authenticating..."
        auth login $session.user
    }

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues Across Plugins

“Plugin not found”

    # Check plugin registration
    plugin list | where name =~ "auth|kms|orch"

    # Re-register if missing
    cd provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins
    plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_auth
    plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_kms
    plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_orchestrator

    # Restart Nushell
    exit
    nu

“Plugin command failed”

    # Enable debug mode
    $env.RUST_LOG = "debug"

    # Run command again to see detailed errors
    kms encrypt "test"

    # Check plugin version compatibility
    plugin list | where name =~ "kms" | select name version

“Permission denied”

    # Check plugin executable permissions
    ls -l provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/target/release/nu_plugin_*
    # Should show: -rwxr-xr-x

    # Fix if needed
    chmod +x provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/target/release/nu_plugin_*

### Platform-Specific Issues

macOS Issues:

    # "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified"
    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine target/release/nu_plugin_auth
    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine target/release/nu_plugin_kms
    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine target/release/nu_plugin_orchestrator

    # Keychain access denied
    # System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Full Disk Access
    # Add: /usr/local/bin/nu

Linux Issues:

    # Keyring service not running
    systemctl --user status gnome-keyring-daemon
    systemctl --user start gnome-keyring-daemon

    # Missing dependencies
    sudo apt install libssl-dev pkg-config  # Ubuntu/Debian
    sudo dnf install openssl-devel          # Fedora

Windows Issues:

    # Credential Manager access denied
    # Control Panel → User Accounts → Credential Manager
    # Ensure Windows Credential Manager service is running

    # Missing Visual C++ runtime
    # Download from: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

### Debugging Techniques

Enable Verbose Logging:

    # Set log level
    $env.RUST_LOG = "debug,nu_plugin_auth=trace"

    # Run command
    auth login admin

    # Check logs

Test Plugin Directly:

    # Test plugin communication (advanced)
    echo '{"Call": [0, {"name": "auth", "call": "login", "args": ["admin", "password"]}]}' \
        | target/release/nu_plugin_auth

Check Plugin Health:

    # Test each plugin
    auth --help       # Should show auth commands
    kms --help        # Should show kms commands
    orch --help       # Should show orch commands

    # Test functionality
    auth verify       # Should return session status
    kms status        # Should return backend status
    orch status       # Should return orchestrator status

## Migration Guide

### Migrating from HTTP to Plugin-Based

Phase 1: Install Plugins (No Breaking Changes)

    # Build and register plugins
    cd provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins
    cargo build --release --all
    plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_auth
    plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_kms
    plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_orchestrator

    # Verify HTTP still works
    http get http://localhost:9090/health

Phase 2: Update Scripts Incrementally

    # Before (HTTP)
    def encrypt_config [file: string] {
        let data = open $file
        let result = http post http://localhost:9998/encrypt { data: $data }
        $result.encrypted | save $"($file).enc"
    }

    # After (Plugin with fallback)
    def encrypt_config [file: string] {
        let data = open $file
        let encrypted = try {
            kms encrypt $data --backend rustyvault
        } catch {
            # Fallback to HTTP if plugin unavailable
            (http post http://localhost:9998/encrypt { data: $data }).encrypted
        }
        $encrypted | save $"($file).enc"
    }

Phase 3: Test Migration

    # Run side-by-side comparison
    def test_migration [] {
        let test_data = "test secret data"

        # Plugin approach
        let start_plugin = date now
        let plugin_result = kms encrypt $test_data
        let plugin_time = ((date now) - $start_plugin)

        # HTTP approach
        let start_http = date now
        let http_result = (http post http://localhost:9998/encrypt { data: $test_data }).encrypted
        let http_time = ((date now) - $start_http)

        echo $"Plugin: ($plugin_time)ms"
        echo $"HTTP: ($http_time)ms"
        echo $"Speedup: (($http_time / $plugin_time))x"
    }

Phase 4: Gradual Rollout

    # Use feature flag for controlled rollout
    $env.USE_PLUGINS = true

    def encrypt_with_flag [data: string] {
        if $env.USE_PLUGINS {
            kms encrypt $data
        } else {
            (http post http://localhost:9998/encrypt { data: $data }).encrypted
        }
    }

Phase 5: Full Migration

    # Replace all HTTP calls with plugin calls
    # Remove fallback logic once stable
    def encrypt_config [file: string] {
        let data = open $file
        kms encrypt $data --backend rustyvault | save $"($file).enc"
    }

### Rollback Strategy

    # If issues arise, quickly rollback
    def rollback_to_http [] {
        # Remove plugin registrations
        plugin rm nu_plugin_auth
        plugin rm nu_plugin_kms
        plugin rm nu_plugin_orchestrator

        # Restart Nushell
        exec nu
    }

## Advanced Configuration

### Custom Plugin Paths

    # ~/.config/nushell/config.nu
    $env.PLUGIN_PATH = "/opt/provisioning/plugins"

    # Register from custom location
    plugin add $"($env.PLUGIN_PATH)/nu_plugin_auth"
    plugin add $"($env.PLUGIN_PATH)/nu_plugin_kms"
    plugin add $"($env.PLUGIN_PATH)/nu_plugin_orchestrator"

### Environment-Specific Configuration

    # ~/.config/nushell/env.nu

    # Development environment
    if ($env.ENV? == "dev") {
        $env.RUSTYVAULT_ADDR = "http://localhost:8200"
        $env.CONTROL_CENTER_URL = "http://localhost:3000"
    }

    # Staging environment
    if ($env.ENV? == "staging") {
        $env.RUSTYVAULT_ADDR = "https://vault-staging.example.com"
        $env.CONTROL_CENTER_URL = "https://control-staging.example.com"
    }

    # Production environment
    if ($env.ENV? == "prod") {
        $env.RUSTYVAULT_ADDR = "https://vault.example.com"
        $env.CONTROL_CENTER_URL = "https://control.example.com"
    }

### Plugin Aliases

    # ~/.config/nushell/config.nu

    # Auth shortcuts
    alias login = auth login
    alias logout = auth logout
    alias whoami = auth verify | get user

    # KMS shortcuts
    alias encrypt = kms encrypt
    alias decrypt = kms decrypt

    }

## Security Considerations

### Threat Model

What Plugins Protect Against:

- ✅ Network eavesdropping (no HTTP for KMS/orch)
- ✅ Token theft from files (keyring storage)
- ✅ Credential exposure in logs (prompt-based input)
- ✅ Man-in-the-middle attacks (local file access)

What Plugins Don’t Protect Against:

- ❌ Memory dumping (decrypted data in RAM)
- ❌ Malicious plugins (trust registry only)
- ❌ Compromised OS keyring
- ❌ Physical access to machine

### Secure Deployment

1. Verify Plugin Integrity

    # Check plugin signatures (if available)
    sha256sum target/release/nu_plugin_auth
    # Compare with published checksums

    # Build from trusted source
    git clone https://github.com/provisioning-platform/plugins
    cd plugins
    cargo build --release --all

2. Restrict Plugin Access

    # Set plugin permissions (only owner can execute)
    chmod 700 target/release/nu_plugin_*

    # Store in protected directory
    sudo mkdir -p /opt/provisioning/plugins
    sudo chown $(whoami):$(whoami) /opt/provisioning/plugins
    sudo chmod 755 /opt/provisioning/plugins
    mv target/release/nu_plugin_* /opt/provisioning/plugins/

3. Audit Plugin Usage

    # Log plugin calls (for compliance)
    def logged_encrypt [data: string] {
        let timestamp = date now
        let result = kms encrypt $data
        { timestamp: $timestamp, action: "encrypt" } | save --append audit.log
        $result
    }

4. Rotate Credentials Regularly

    # Weekly credential rotation script
    def rotate_credentials [] {
        # Re-authenticate
        auth logout
        auth login admin

        # Rotate KMS keys (if supported)
        kms rotate-key --key provisioning-main

        # Update encrypted secrets
        ls secrets/*.enc | each { |file|
            let plain = kms decrypt (open $file.name)
            kms encrypt $plain | save $file.name
        }
    }

## FAQ

Q: Can I use plugins without RustyVault/Age installed?

A: Yes, authentication and orchestrator plugins work independently. KMS plugin requires at least one backend configured (Age is easiest for local dev).

Q: Do plugins work in CI/CD pipelines?

A: Yes, plugins work great in CI/CD. For headless environments (no keyring), use environment variables for auth or file-based tokens.

    # CI/CD example
    export CONTROL_CENTER_TOKEN="jwt-token-here"
    kms encrypt "data" --backend age

Q: How do I update plugins?

A: Rebuild and re-register:

    cd provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins
    git pull
    cargo build --release --all
    plugin add --force target/release/nu_plugin_auth
    plugin add --force target/release/nu_plugin_kms
    plugin add --force target/release/nu_plugin_orchestrator

Q: Can I use multiple KMS backends simultaneously?

A: Yes, specify `--backend` for each operation:

    kms encrypt "data1" --backend rustyvault
    kms encrypt "data2" --backend age
    kms encrypt "data3" --backend aws

Q: What happens if a plugin crashes?

A: Nushell isolates plugin crashes. The command fails with an error, but Nushell continues running. Check logs with `$env.RUST_LOG = "debug"`.

Q: Are plugins compatible with older Nushell versions?

A: Plugins require Nushell 0.107.1+. For older versions, use HTTP API.

Q: How do I backup MFA enrollment?

A: Save backup codes securely (password manager, encrypted file). QR code can be re-scanned from the same secret.

    # Save backup codes
    auth mfa enroll totp | save mfa-backup-codes.txt
    kms encrypt (open mfa-backup-codes.txt) | save mfa-backup-codes.enc
    rm mfa-backup-codes.txt

Q: Can plugins work offline?

A: Partially:

- ✅ `kms` with Age backend (fully offline)
- ✅ `orch` status/tasks (reads local files)
- ❌ `auth` (requires control center)
- ❌ `kms` with RustyVault/AWS/Vault (requires network)

Q: How do I troubleshoot plugin performance?

A: Use Nushell’s timing:

    timeit { kms encrypt "data" }
    # 5 ms 123μs 456 ns

    timeit { http post http://localhost:9998/encrypt { data: "data" } }
    # 52 ms 789μs 123 ns

          }

## Troubleshooting

### Auth Plugin

“No active session”:

    auth login <username>

“Keyring error” (macOS):

- Check Keychain Access permissions
- Security & Privacy → Privacy → Full Disk Access → Add Nushell

“Keyring error” (Linux):

    # Install keyring service
    sudo apt install gnome-keyring  # Ubuntu/Debian
    sudo dnf install gnome-keyring  # Fedora

    # Or use KWallet
    sudo apt install kwalletmanager

“MFA verification failed”:

- Check time synchronization (TOTP requires accurate clocks)
- Use backup codes if TOTP not working
- Re-enroll MFA if device lost

### KMS Plugin

“RustyVault connection failed”:

    # Check RustyVault running
    curl http://localhost:8200/v1/sys/health

    # Set environment
    export RUSTYVAULT_ADDR="http://localhost:8200"
    export RUSTYVAULT_TOKEN="your-token"

“Age encryption failed”:

    # Check Age keys
    ls -la ~/.age/

    # Generate new key if needed
    age-keygen -o ~/.age/key.txt

    # Set environment
    export AGE_RECIPIENT="age1xxxxxxxxx"
    export AGE_IDENTITY="$HOME/.age/key.txt"

“AWS KMS access denied”:

    # Check AWS credentials
    aws sts get-caller-identity

    # Check KMS key policy
    aws kms describe-key --key-id alias/provisioning

### Orchestrator Plugin

“Failed to read status”:

    # Check data directory exists
    ls provisioning/platform/orchestrator/data/

    # Create if missing
    mkdir -p provisioning/platform/orchestrator/data

“Workflow validation failed”:

    # Use strict mode for detailed errors
    orch validate workflows/deploy.ncl --strict

“No tasks found”:

    # Check orchestrator running
    ps aux | grep orchestrator

    # Start orchestrator
    cd provisioning/platform/orchestrator
    ./scripts/start-orchestrator.nu --background

          - name: Test Plugins
            run: |
              cd provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins
              cargo test --all

          - name: Upload Artifacts
            uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
            with:
              name: plugins
              path: provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/target/release/nu_plugin_*

## Advanced Usage

### Custom Plugin Configuration

Create `~/.config/nushell/plugin_config.nu`:

    # Auth plugin defaults
    $env.CONTROL_CENTER_URL = "https://control-center.example.com"

    # KMS plugin defaults
    $env.RUSTYVAULT_ADDR = "https://vault.example.com:8200"
    $env.RUSTYVAULT_MOUNT = "transit"

    # Orchestrator plugin defaults
    $env.ORCHESTRATOR_DATA_DIR = "/opt/orchestrator/data"

### Plugin Aliases

Add to `~/.config/nushell/config.nu`:

    # Auth shortcuts
    alias login = auth login
    alias logout = auth logout

    # KMS shortcuts
    alias encrypt = kms encrypt
    alias decrypt = kms decrypt

    # Orchestrator shortcuts
    alias status = orch status
    alias validate = orch validate
    alias tasks = orch tasks

## Security Best Practices

### Authentication

✅ DO: Use interactive password prompts ✅ DO: Enable MFA for production environments ✅ DO: Verify session before sensitive operations ❌ DON’T: Pass passwords in command line (visible in history) ❌ DON’T: Store tokens in plain text files

### KMS Operations

✅ DO: Use context (AAD) for encryption when available ✅ DO: Rotate KMS keys regularly ✅ DO: Use hardware-backed keys (WebAuthn, YubiKey) when possible ❌ DON’T: Share Age private keys ❌ DON’T: Log decrypted data

### Orchestrator

✅ DO: Validate workflows in strict mode before production ✅ DO: Monitor task status regularly ✅ DO: Use appropriate data directory permissions (700) ❌ DON’T: Run orchestrator as root ❌ DON’T: Expose data directory over network shares

## FAQ

Q: Why use plugins instead of HTTP API? A: Plugins are 10x faster, have better Nushell integration, and eliminate HTTP overhead.

Q: Can I use plugins without orchestrator running? A: `auth` and `kms` work independently. `orch` requires access to orchestrator data directory.

Q: How do I update plugins? A: Rebuild and re-register: `cargo build --release --all && plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_*`

Q: Are plugins cross-platform? A: Yes, plugins work on macOS, Linux, and Windows (with appropriate keyring services).

Q: Can I use multiple KMS backends simultaneously? A: Yes, specify `--backend` flag for each operation.

Q: How do I backup MFA enrollment? A: Save backup codes securely (password manager, encrypted file). QR code can be re-scanned.

# Provisioning Plugins Usage Guide

## Overview

Three high-performance Nushell plugins have been integrated into the provisioning system to provide 10-50x performance improvements over HTTP-based operations:

- nu_plugin_auth - JWT authentication with system keyring integration
- nu_plugin_kms - Multi-backend KMS encryption
- nu_plugin_orchestrator - Local orchestrator operations

## Installation

### Prerequisites

- Nushell 0.107.1 or later
- All plugins are pre-compiled in `provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/`

### Quick Install

Run the installation script in a new Nushell session:

    nu provisioning/core/plugins/install-and-register.nu

This will:

1. Copy plugins to `~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/`
2. Register plugins with Nushell
3. Verify installation

### Manual Installation

If the script doesn’t work, run these commands:

    # Copy plugins
    cp provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/nu_plugin_auth/target/release/nu_plugin_auth ~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/
    cp provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/nu_plugin_kms/target/release/nu_plugin_kms ~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/
    cp provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/nu_plugin_orchestrator/target/release/nu_plugin_orchestrator ~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/

    chmod +x ~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/nu_plugin_*

    # Register with Nushell (run in a fresh session)
    plugin add ~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/nu_plugin_auth
    plugin add ~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/nu_plugin_kms
    plugin add ~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/nu_plugin_orchestrator

## Usage

#### Decrypt Data

    provisioning kms decrypt <encrypted_data> [--backend <backend>] [--key <key>]

    # Examples
    provisioning kms decrypt $encrypted_data
    provisioning kms decrypt $encrypted --backend age

#### KMS Status

    provisioning kms status

    # Output shows current backend and availability

#### List Backends

    provisioning kms list-backends

    # Shows all available KMS backends

### Orchestrator Plugin

30x faster than HTTP fallback

Local file-based orchestration without network overhead.

#### Check Status

    # Examples
    provisioning orch tasks
    provisioning orch tasks --status pending
    provisioning orch tasks --status running --limit 10

#### Validate Workflow

    provisioning orch validate <workflow.ncl> [--strict]

    # Examples

    provisioning orch submit workflows/test.ncl --check

#### Monitor Task

    provisioning orch monitor <task_id> [--once] [--interval <ms>] [--timeout <s>]

    # Examples
    provisioning orch monitor task-123
    provisioning orch monitor task-123 --once
    provisioning orch monitor task-456 --interval 5000 --timeout 600

## Plugin Status

Check which plugins are installed:

    provisioning plugin status

    # Output:
    # Provisioning Plugins Status
    # ============================
    # [OK]  nu_plugin_auth        - JWT authentication with keyring
    # [OK]  nu_plugin_kms         - Multi-backend encryption
    # [OK]  nu_plugin_orchestrator - Local orchestrator (30x faster)
    #
    # All plugins loaded - using native high-performance mode

### Testing Plugins

    provisioning plugin test

    # Runs quick tests on all installed plugins
    # Output shows which plugins are responding

### List Registered Plugins

    provisioning plugin list

    # Shows all provisioning plugins registered with Nushell

## Performance Comparison

Operation | With Plugin | HTTP Fallback | Speedup
--- | --- | --- | ---
Auth verify | ~10 ms | ~50 ms | 5x
Auth login | ~15 ms | ~100 ms | 7x
KMS encrypt | ~5-8 ms | ~50 ms | 10x
KMS decrypt | ~5-8 ms | ~50 ms | 10x
Orch status | ~1-5 ms | ~30 ms | 30x
Orch tasks list | ~2-10 ms | ~50 ms | 25x

## Graceful Fallback

If plugins are not installed or fail to load, all commands automatically fall back to HTTP-based operations:

    # With plugins installed (fast)
    $ provisioning auth verify
    Token is valid

    # Without plugins (slower, but functional)
    $ provisioning auth verify
    [HTTP fallback mode]
    Token is valid (slower)

This ensures the system remains functional even if plugins aren’t available.

## Troubleshooting

### Plugins not found after installation

Make sure you:

1. Have a fresh Nushell session
2. Ran `plugin add` for all three plugins
3. The plugin files are executable: `chmod +x ~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/nu_plugin_*`

### “Command not found” errors

If you see “command not found” when running `provisioning auth login`, the auth plugin is not loaded. Run:

    plugin list | grep nu_plugin

If you don’t see the plugins, register them:

    plugin add ~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/nu_plugin_auth
    plugin add ~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/nu_plugin_kms
    plugin add ~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/nu_plugin_orchestrator

### Plugins crash or are unresponsive

Check the plugin logs:

    provisioning plugin test

If a plugin fails, the system will automatically fall back to HTTP mode.

## Integration with Provisioning CLI

All plugin commands are integrated into the main provisioning CLI:

    # Shortcuts available
    provisioning auth login admin        # Full command
    provisioning login admin             # Alias

    provisioning kms encrypt secret      # Full command
    provisioning encrypt secret          # Alias

    provisioning orch status             # Full command
    provisioning orch-status             # Alias

## Advanced Configuration

### Custom Data Directory

For orchestrator operations, specify custom data directory:

    provisioning orch status --data-dir /custom/orchestrator/data
    provisioning orch tasks --data-dir /custom/orchestrator/data

### Custom Auth URL

For auth operations with custom endpoint:

    provisioning auth login admin --url http://custom-auth-server:8081
    provisioning auth verify --url http://custom-auth-server:8081

### KMS Backend Selection

Specify which KMS backend to use:

    # Use Age encryption
    provisioning kms encrypt "data" --backend age

    # Use RustyVault
    provisioning kms encrypt "data" --backend rustyvault

    # Use AWS KMS
    provisioning kms encrypt "data" --backend aws

    # Decrypt with same backend
    provisioning kms decrypt $encrypted --backend age

## Building Plugins from Source

If you need to rebuild plugins:

    cd provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins

    # Build auth plugin
    cd nu_plugin_auth && cargo build --release && cd ..

    # Build KMS plugin
    cd nu_plugin_kms && cargo build --release && cd ..

    # Build orchestrator plugin
    cd nu_plugin_orchestrator && cargo build --release && cd ..

    # Run install script
    cd ../..
    nu install-and-register.nu

## Architecture

The plugins follow Nushell’s plugin protocol:

1. Plugin Binary: Compiled Rust binary in `target/release/`
2. Registration: Via `plugin add` command
3. IPC: Communication via Nushell’s JSON protocol
4. Fallback: HTTP API fallback if plugins unavailable

## Security Notes

- Auth tokens are stored in system keyring (Keychain/Credential Manager/Secret Service)
- KMS keys are protected by the selected backend’s security
- Orchestrator operations are local file-based (no network exposure)
- All operations are logged in provisioning audit logs

## Support

For issues or questions:

1. Check plugin status: `provisioning plugin test`
2. Review logs: `provisioning logs` or `/var/log/provisioning/`
3. Test HTTP fallback by temporarily unregistering plugins
4. Contact the provisioning team with plugin test output

# Secrets Management System - Configuration Guide

Status: Production Ready Date: 2025-11-19 Version: 1.0.0

## Overview

The provisioning system supports secure SSH key retrieval from multiple secret sources, eliminating hardcoded filesystem dependencies and enabling enterprise-grade security. SSH keys are retrieved from configured secret sources (SOPS, KMS, RustyVault) with automatic fallback to local-dev mode for development environments.

## Secret Sources

### 1. SOPS (Secrets Operations)

Age-based encrypted secrets file with YAML structure.

Pros:

- ✅ Age encryption (modern, performant)
- ✅ Easy to version in Git (encrypted)
- ✅ No external services required
- ✅ Simple YAML structure

Cons:

- ❌ Requires Age key management
- ❌ No key rotation automation

Environment Variables:

    PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE=sops
    PROVISIONING_SOPS_ENABLED=true
    PROVISIONING_SOPS_SECRETS_FILE=/path/to/secrets.enc.yaml
    PROVISIONING_SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE=$HOME/.age/provisioning

Secrets File Structure (provisioning/secrets.enc.yaml):

    # Encrypted with sops
    ssh:
      web-01:
        ubuntu: /path/to/id_rsa
        root: /path/to/root_id_rsa
      db-01:
        postgres: /path/to/postgres_id_rsa

Setup Instructions:

    # 1. Install sops and age
    brew install sops age

    # 2. Generate Age key (store securely!)
    age-keygen -o $HOME/.age/provisioning

    # 3. Create encrypted secrets file
    cat > secrets.yaml << 'EOF'
    ssh:
      web-01:
        ubuntu: ~/.ssh/provisioning_web01
      db-01:
        postgres: ~/.ssh/provisioning_db01
    EOF

    # 4. Encrypt with sops
    sops -e -i secrets.yaml

    # 5. Rename to enc version
    mv secrets.yaml provisioning/secrets.enc.yaml

    # 6. Configure environment
    export PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE=sops
    export PROVISIONING_SOPS_SECRETS_FILE=$(pwd)/provisioning/secrets.enc.yaml
    export PROVISIONING_SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE=$HOME/.age/provisioning

### 2. KMS (Key Management Service)

AWS KMS or compatible key management service.

Pros:

- ✅ Cloud-native security
- ✅ Automatic key rotation
- ✅ Audit logging built-in
- ✅ High availability

Cons:

- ❌ Requires AWS account/credentials
- ❌ API calls add latency (~50 ms)
- ❌ Cost per API call

Environment Variables:

    PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE=kms
    PROVISIONING_KMS_ENABLED=true
    PROVISIONING_KMS_REGION=us-east-1

Secret Storage Pattern:

    provisioning/ssh-keys/{hostname}/{username}

Setup Instructions:

    # 1. Create KMS key (one-time)
    aws kms create-key \
        --description "Provisioning SSH Keys" \
        --region us-east-1

    # 2. Store SSH keys in Secrets Manager
    aws secretsmanager create-secret \
        --name provisioning/ssh-keys/web-01/ubuntu \
        --secret-string "$(cat ~/.ssh/provisioning_web01)" \
        --region us-east-1

    # 3. Configure environment
    export PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE=kms
    export PROVISIONING_KMS_REGION=us-east-1

    # 4. Ensure AWS credentials available
    export AWS_PROFILE=provisioning
    # or
    export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
    export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...

### 3. RustyVault (Hashicorp Vault-Compatible)

Self-hosted or managed Vault instance for secrets.

Pros:

- ✅ Self-hosted option
- ✅ Fine-grained access control
- ✅ Multiple authentication methods
- ✅ Easy key rotation

Cons:

- ❌ Requires Vault instance
- ❌ More operational overhead
- ❌ Network latency

Environment Variables:

    PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE=vault
    PROVISIONING_VAULT_ENABLED=true
    PROVISIONING_VAULT_ADDRESS=http://localhost:8200
    PROVISIONING_VAULT_TOKEN=hvs.CAESIAoICQ...

Secret Storage Pattern:

    GET /v1/secret/ssh-keys/{hostname}/{username}
    # Returns: {"key_content": "-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----..."}

Setup Instructions:

    # 1. Start Vault (if not already running)
    docker run -p 8200:8200 \
        -e VAULT_DEV_ROOT_TOKEN_ID=provisioning \
        vault server -dev

    # 2. Create KV v2 mount (if not exists)
    vault secrets enable -version=2 -path=secret kv

    # 3. Store SSH key
    vault kv put secret/ssh-keys/web-01/ubuntu \
        key_content=@~/.ssh/provisioning_web01

    # 4. Configure environment
    export PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE=vault
    export PROVISIONING_VAULT_ADDRESS=http://localhost:8200
    export PROVISIONING_VAULT_TOKEN=provisioning

    # 5. Create AppRole for production
    vault auth enable approle
    vault write auth/approle/role/provisioning \
        token_ttl=1h \
        token_max_ttl=4h
    vault read auth/approle/role/provisioning/role-id
    vault write -f auth/approle/role/provisioning/secret-id

### 4. Local-Dev (Fallback)

Local filesystem SSH keys (development only).

Pros:

- ✅ No setup required
- ✅ Fast (local filesystem)
- ✅ Works offline

Cons:

- ❌ NOT for production
- ❌ Hardcoded filesystem dependency
- ❌ No key rotation

Environment Variables:

    PROVISIONING_ENVIRONMENT=local-dev

Behavior:

Standard paths checked (in order):

1. `$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa`
2. `$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519`
3. `$HOME/.ssh/provisioning`
4. `$HOME/.ssh/provisioning_rsa`

## Auto-Detection Logic

When `PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE` is not explicitly set, the system auto-detects in this order:

    1. PROVISIONING_SOPS_ENABLED=true or PROVISIONING_SOPS_SECRETS_FILE set?
       → Use SOPS
    2. PROVISIONING_KMS_ENABLED=true or PROVISIONING_KMS_REGION set?
       → Use KMS
    3. PROVISIONING_VAULT_ENABLED=true or both VAULT_ADDRESS and VAULT_TOKEN set?
       → Use Vault
    4. Otherwise
       → Use local-dev (with warnings in production environments)

## Configuration Matrix

Secret Source | Env Variables | Enabled in
--- | --- | ---
SOPS | `PROVISIONING_SOPS_*` | Development, Staging, Production
KMS | `PROVISIONING_KMS_*` | Staging, Production (with AWS)
Vault | `PROVISIONING_VAULT_*` | Development, Staging, Production
Local-dev | `PROVISIONING_ENVIRONMENT=local-dev` | Development only

## Production Recommended Setup

### Minimal Setup (Single Source)

    # Using Vault (recommended for self-hosted)
    export PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE=vault
    export PROVISIONING_VAULT_ADDRESS=https://vault.example.com:8200
    export PROVISIONING_VAULT_TOKEN=hvs.CAESIAoICQ...
    export PROVISIONING_ENVIRONMENT=production

### Enhanced Setup (Fallback Chain)

    # Primary: Vault
    export PROVISIONING_VAULT_ADDRESS=https://vault.primary.com:8200
    export PROVISIONING_VAULT_TOKEN=hvs.CAESIAoICQ...

    # Fallback: SOPS
    export PROVISIONING_SOPS_SECRETS_FILE=/etc/provisioning/secrets.enc.yaml
    export PROVISIONING_SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE=/etc/provisioning/.age/key

    # Environment
    export PROVISIONING_ENVIRONMENT=production
    export PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE=vault  # Explicit: use Vault first

### High-Availability Setup

    # Use KMS (managed service)
    export PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE=kms
    export PROVISIONING_KMS_REGION=us-east-1
    export AWS_PROFILE=provisioning-admin

    # Or use Vault with HA
    export PROVISIONING_VAULT_ADDRESS=https://vault-ha.example.com:8200
    export PROVISIONING_VAULT_NAMESPACE=provisioning
    export PROVISIONING_ENVIRONMENT=production

## Validation & Testing

### Check Configuration

    # Nushell
    provisioning secrets status

    # Show secret source and configuration
    provisioning secrets validate

    # Detailed diagnostics
    provisioning secrets diagnose

### Test SSH Key Retrieval

    # Test specific host/user
    provisioning secrets get-key web-01 ubuntu

    # Test all configured hosts
    provisioning secrets validate-all

    # Dry-run SSH with retrieved key
    provisioning ssh --test-key web-01 ubuntu

## Migration Path

### From Local-Dev to SOPS

    # 1. Create SOPS secrets file with existing keys
    cat > secrets.yaml << 'EOF'
    ssh:
      web-01:
        ubuntu: ~/.ssh/provisioning_web01
      db-01:
        postgres: ~/.ssh/provisioning_db01
    EOF

    # 2. Encrypt with Age
    sops -e -i secrets.yaml

    # 3. Move to repo
    mv secrets.yaml provisioning/secrets.enc.yaml

    # 4. Update environment
    export PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE=sops
    export PROVISIONING_SOPS_SECRETS_FILE=$(pwd)/provisioning/secrets.enc.yaml
    export PROVISIONING_SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE=$HOME/.age/provisioning

### From SOPS to Vault

    # 1. Decrypt SOPS file
    sops -d provisioning/secrets.enc.yaml > /tmp/secrets.yaml

    # 2. Import to Vault
    vault kv put secret/ssh-keys/web-01/ubuntu key_content=@~/.ssh/provisioning_web01

    # 3. Update environment
    export PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE=vault
    export PROVISIONING_VAULT_ADDRESS=http://vault.example.com:8200
    export PROVISIONING_VAULT_TOKEN=hvs.CAESIAoICQ...

    # 4. Validate retrieval works
    provisioning secrets validate-all

## Security Best Practices

### 1. Never Commit Secrets

    # Add to .gitignore
    echo "provisioning/secrets.enc.yaml" >> .gitignore
    echo ".age/provisioning" >> .gitignore
    echo ".vault-token" >> .gitignore

### 2. Rotate Keys Regularly

    # SOPS: Rotate Age key
    age-keygen -o ~/.age/provisioning.new
    # Update all secrets with new key

    # KMS: Enable automatic rotation
    aws kms enable-key-rotation --key-id alias/provisioning

    # Vault: Set TTL on secrets
    vault write -f secret/metadata/ssh-keys/web-01/ubuntu \
        delete_version_after=2160h  # 90 days

### 3. Restrict Access

    # SOPS: Protect Age key
    chmod 600 ~/.age/provisioning

    # KMS: Restrict IAM permissions
    aws iam put-user-policy --user-name provisioning \
        --policy-name ProvisioningSecretsAccess \
        --policy-document file://kms-policy.json

    # Vault: Use AppRole for applications
    vault write auth/approle/role/provisioning \
        token_ttl=1h \
        secret_id_ttl=30m

### 4. Audit Logging

    # KMS: Enable CloudTrail

    # SOPS: Version control (encrypted)
    git log -p provisioning/secrets.enc.yaml

## Troubleshooting

### SOPS Issues

    # Test Age decryption
    sops -d provisioning/secrets.enc.yaml

    # Verify Age key
    age-keygen -l ~/.age/provisioning

    # Regenerate if needed
    rm ~/.age/provisioning
    age-keygen -o ~/.age/provisioning

### KMS Issues

    # Test AWS credentials
    aws sts get-caller-identity

    # Check KMS key permissions
    aws kms describe-key --key-id alias/provisioning

    # List secrets
    aws secretsmanager list-secrets --filters Name=name,Values=provisioning

### Vault Issues

    # Check Vault status
    vault status

    # Test authentication
    vault token lookup

    # List secrets
    vault kv list secret/ssh-keys/

    # Check audit logs
    vault audit list
    vault read sys/audit

## FAQ

Q: Can I use multiple secret sources simultaneously? A: Yes, configure multiple sources and set `PROVISIONING_SECRET_SOURCE` to specify primary. If primary fails, manual fallback to secondary is supported.

Q: What happens if secret retrieval fails? A: System logs the error and fails fast. No automatic fallback to local filesystem (for security).

Q: Can I cache SSH keys? A: Currently not, keys are retrieved fresh for each operation. Use local caching at OS level (ssh-agent) if needed.

Q: How do I rotate keys? A: Update the secret in your configured source (SOPS/KMS/Vault) and retrieve fresh on next operation.

Q: Is local-dev mode secure? A: No - it’s development only. Production requires SOPS/KMS/Vault.

## Integration with SSH Utilities

SSH operations automatically use secrets manager:

    # Automatic secret retrieval
    ssh-cmd-smart $settings $server false "command" $ip
    # Internally:
    #   1. Determine secret source
    #   2. Retrieve SSH key for server.installer_user@ip
    #   3. Execute SSH with retrieved key
    #   4. Cleanup sensitive data

    # Batch operations also integrate
    ssh-batch-execute $servers $settings "command"
    # Per-host: Retrieves key → executes → cleans up

## Quick Start

### Development Setup (Age)

    # 1. Generate Age keys
    mkdir -p ~/.config/provisioning/age
    age-keygen -o ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt
    age-keygen -y ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt > ~/.config/provisioning/age/public_key.txt

    # 2. Set environment
    export PROVISIONING_ENV=dev

    # 3. Start KMS service
    cd provisioning/platform/kms-service
    cargo run --bin kms-service

### Production Setup (Cosmian)

    # Set environment variables
    export PROVISIONING_ENV=prod
    export COSMIAN_KMS_URL=https://your-kms.example.com
    export COSMIAN_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

    # Start KMS service
    cargo run --bin kms-service

## REST API Examples

### Encrypt Data

    curl -X POST http://localhost:8082/api/v1/kms/encrypt \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "plaintext": "SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==",
        "context": "env=prod,service=api"
      }'

### Decrypt Data

    curl -X POST http://localhost:8082/api/v1/kms/decrypt \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "ciphertext": "...",
        "context": "env=prod,service=api"
      }'

## Nushell CLI Integration

    # Encrypt data
    "secret-data" | kms encrypt
    "api-key" | kms encrypt --context "env=prod,service=api"

    # Decrypt data
    $ciphertext | kms decrypt

    # Generate data key (Cosmian only)
    kms generate-key

    # Check service status
    kms status
    kms health

    # Encrypt/decrypt files
    kms encrypt-file config.yaml
    kms decrypt-file config.yaml.enc

4. Orchestrator (Workflow Data)
5. Control Center (Audit Logs)

## Deployment

### Docker

    FROM rust:1.70 as builder
    WORKDIR /app
    COPY . .
    RUN cargo build --release

    FROM debian:bookworm-slim
    RUN apt-get update && \
        apt-get install -y ca-certificates && \
        rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
    COPY --from=builder /app/target/release/kms-service /usr/local/bin/
    ENTRYPOINT ["kms-service"]

### Kubernetes

    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: kms-service
    spec:
      replicas: 2
      template:
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: kms-service
            image: provisioning/kms-service:latest
            env:
            - name: PROVISIONING_ENV
              value: "prod"
            - name: COSMIAN_KMS_URL
              value: "https://kms.example.com"
            ports:
            - containerPort: 8082

## Security Best Practices

1. Development: Use Age for dev/test only, never for production secrets
2. Production: Always use Cosmian KMS with TLS verification enabled
3. API Keys: Never hardcode, use environment variables
4. Key Rotation: Enable automatic rotation (90 days recommended)
5. Context Encryption: Always use encryption context (AAD)
6. Network Access: Restrict KMS service access with firewall rules
7. Monitoring: Enable health checks and monitor operation metrics

## Setup

### Prerequisites

- Nushell 0.107.1+
- Git installed and configured
- Docker (for local Gitea deployment) or access to remote Gitea instance
- SOPS (for encrypted token storage)

### Configuration

#### 1. Add Gitea Configuration to Nickel

Edit your `provisioning/schemas/modes.ncl` or workspace config:

    import provisioning.gitea as gitea

    # Local Docker deployment
    _gitea_config = gitea.GiteaConfig {
        mode = "local"
        local = gitea.LocalGitea {
            enabled = True
            deployment = "docker"
            port = 3000
            auto_start = True
            docker = gitea.DockerGitea {
                image = "gitea/gitea:1.21"
                container_name = "provisioning-gitea"
            }
        }
        auth = gitea.GiteaAuth {
            token_path = "~/.provisioning/secrets/gitea-token.enc"
            username = "provisioning"
        }
    }

    # Or remote Gitea instance
    _gitea_remote = gitea.GiteaConfig {
        mode = "remote"
        remote = gitea.RemoteGitea {
            enabled = True
            url = "https://gitea.example.com"
            api_url = "https://gitea.example.com/api/v1"
        }
        auth = gitea.GiteaAuth {
            token_path = "~/.provisioning/secrets/gitea-token.enc"
            username = "myuser"
        }
    }

#### 2. Create Gitea Access Token

For local Gitea:

1. Start Gitea: `provisioning gitea start`
2. Open http://localhost:3000
3. Register admin account
4. Go to Settings → Applications → Generate New Token
5. Save token to encrypted file:

    # Create encrypted token file
    echo "your-gitea-token" | sops --encrypt /dev/stdin > ~/.provisioning/secrets/gitea-token.enc

For remote Gitea:

1. Login to your Gitea instance
2. Generate personal access token
3. Save encrypted as above

#### 3. Verify Setup

    # Check Gitea status
    provisioning gitea status

    # Validate token
    provisioning gitea auth validate

    # Show current user
    provisioning gitea user

## Workspace Git Integration

### Initialize Workspace with Git

When creating a new workspace, enable git integration:

    # Initialize new workspace with Gitea
    provisioning workspace init my-workspace --git --remote gitea

    # Or initialize existing workspace
    cd workspace_my-workspace
    provisioning gitea workspace init . my-workspace --remote gitea

This will:

1. Initialize git repository in workspace
2. Create repository on Gitea (`workspaces/my-workspace`)
3. Add remote origin
4. Push initial commit

### Clone Existing Workspace

    # Clone from Gitea
    provisioning workspace clone workspaces/my-workspace ./workspace_my-workspace

    # Or using full identifier
    provisioning workspace clone my-workspace ./workspace_my-workspace

### Push/Pull Changes

    # Push workspace changes
    cd workspace_my-workspace
    provisioning workspace push --message "Updated infrastructure configs"

    # Pull latest changes
    provisioning workspace pull

    # Sync (pull + push)
    provisioning workspace sync

### Branch Management

    # Create branch
    provisioning workspace branch create feature-new-cluster

    # Switch branch
    provisioning workspace branch switch feature-new-cluster

    # List branches
    provisioning workspace branch list

    # Delete branch
    provisioning workspace branch delete feature-new-cluster

### Git Status

    # Get workspace git status
    provisioning workspace git status

    # Show uncommitted changes
    provisioning workspace git diff

    # Show staged changes
    provisioning workspace git diff --staged

## Workspace Locking

Distributed locking prevents concurrent modifications to workspaces using Gitea issues.

### Lock Types

- read: Multiple readers allowed, blocks writers
- write: Exclusive access, blocks all other locks
- deploy: Exclusive access for deployments

### Acquire Lock

    # Acquire write lock
    provisioning gitea lock acquire my-workspace write \
        --operation "Deploying servers" \
        --expiry "2025-10-06T14:00:00Z"

    # Output:
    # ✓ Lock acquired for workspace: my-workspace
    #   Lock ID: 42
    #   Type: write
    #   User: provisioning

### Check Lock Status

    # List locks for workspace
    provisioning gitea lock list my-workspace

    # List all active locks
    provisioning gitea lock list

    # Get lock details
    provisioning gitea lock info my-workspace 42

### Release Lock

    # Release lock
    provisioning gitea lock release my-workspace 42

### Force Release Lock (Admin)

    # Force release stuck lock
    provisioning gitea lock force-release my-workspace 42 \
        --reason "Deployment failed, releasing lock"

### Automatic Locking

Use `with-workspace-lock` for automatic lock management:

    use lib_provisioning/gitea/locking.nu *

    with-workspace-lock "my-workspace" "deploy" "Server deployment" {
        # Your deployment code here
        # Lock automatically released on completion or error
    }

### Lock Cleanup

    # Cleanup expired locks
    provisioning gitea lock cleanup

## Extension Publishing

Publish taskservs, providers, and clusters as versioned releases on Gitea.

### Publish Extension

    # Publish taskserv
    provisioning gitea extension publish \
        ./extensions/taskservs/database/postgres \
        1.2.0 \
        --release-notes "Added connection pooling support"

    # Publish provider
    provisioning gitea extension publish \
        ./extensions/providers/aws_prov \
        2.0.0 \
        --prerelease

    # Publish cluster
    provisioning gitea extension publish \
        ./extensions/clusters/buildkit \
        1.0.0

This will:

1. Validate extension structure
2. Create git tag (if workspace is git repo)
3. Package extension as `.tar.gz`
4. Create Gitea release
5. Upload package as release asset

### List Published Extensions

    # List all extensions
    provisioning gitea extension list

    # Filter by type
    provisioning gitea extension list --type taskserv
    provisioning gitea extension list --type provider
    provisioning gitea extension list --type cluster

### Download Extension

    # Download specific version
    provisioning gitea extension download postgres 1.2.0 \
        --destination ./extensions/taskservs/database

    # Extension is downloaded and extracted automatically

### Extension Metadata

    # Get extension information
    provisioning gitea extension info postgres 1.2.0

### Publishing Workflow

    # 1. Make changes to extension
    cd extensions/taskservs/database/postgres

    # 2. Update version in kcl/kcl.mod
    # 3. Update CHANGELOG.md

    # 4. Commit changes
    git add .
    git commit -m "Release v1.2.0"

    # 5. Publish to Gitea
    provisioning gitea extension publish . 1.2.0

## Service Management

### Start/Stop Gitea

    # Start Gitea (local mode)
    provisioning gitea start

    # Stop Gitea
    provisioning gitea stop

    # Restart Gitea
    provisioning gitea restart

### Check Status

## Troubleshooting

### Gitea Not Starting

Problem: `provisioning gitea start` fails

Solutions:

    # Check Docker status
    docker ps

    # Check if port is in use
    lsof -i :3000

    # Check Gitea logs
    provisioning gitea logs

    # Remove old container
    docker rm -f provisioning-gitea
    provisioning gitea start

### Token Authentication Failed

Problem: `provisioning gitea auth validate` returns false

Solutions:

    # Verify token file exists
    ls ~/.provisioning/secrets/gitea-token.enc

    # Test decryption
    sops --decrypt ~/.provisioning/secrets/gitea-token.enc

    # Regenerate token in Gitea UI
    # Save new token
    echo "new-token" | sops --encrypt /dev/stdin > ~/.provisioning/secrets/gitea-token.enc

### Cannot Push to Repository

Problem: Git push fails with authentication error

Solutions:

    # Check remote URL
    cd workspace_my-workspace
    git remote -v

    # Reconfigure remote with token
    git remote set-url origin http://username:token@localhost:3000/org/repo.git

    # Or use SSH
    git remote set-url origin git@localhost:workspaces/my-workspace.git

### Lock Already Exists

Problem: Cannot acquire lock, workspace already locked

Solutions:

    # Check active locks
    provisioning gitea lock list my-workspace

    # Get lock details
    provisioning gitea lock info my-workspace 42

    # If lock is stale, force release
    provisioning gitea lock force-release my-workspace 42 --reason "Stale lock"

### Extension Validation Failed

Problem: Extension publishing fails validation

Solutions:

    # Check extension structure
    ls -la extensions/taskservs/myservice/
    # Required:
    # - schemas/manifest.toml
    # - schemas/*.ncl (main schema file)

    # Verify manifest.toml format
    cat extensions/taskservs/myservice/schemas/manifest.toml

    # Should have:
    # [package]
    # name = "myservice"
    # version = "1.0.0"

### Docker Volume Permissions

Problem: Gitea Docker container has permission errors

Solutions:

    # Fix data directory permissions
    sudo chown -R 1000:1000 ~/.provisioning/gitea

    # Or recreate with correct permissions
    provisioning gitea stop --remove
    rm -rf ~/.provisioning/gitea
    provisioning gitea start

## Best Practices

### Workspace Management

1. Always use locking for concurrent operations
2. Commit frequently with descriptive messages
3. Use branches for experimental changes
4. Sync before operations to get latest changes

### Extension Publishing

1. Follow semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)
2. Update CHANGELOG.md for each release
3. Test extensions before publishing
4. Use prerelease flag for beta versions

### Security

1. Encrypt tokens with SOPS
2. Use private repositories for sensitive workspaces
3. Rotate tokens regularly
4. Audit lock history via Gitea issues

### Performance

1. Cleanup expired locks periodically
2. Use shallow clones for large workspaces
3. Archive old releases to reduce storage
4. Monitor Gitea resources for local deployments

## Advanced Usage

### Custom Gitea Deployment

Edit `docker-compose.yml`:

    services:
      gitea:
        image: gitea/gitea:1.21
        environment:
          - GITEA__server__DOMAIN=gitea.example.com
          - GITEA__server__ROOT_URL=https://gitea.example.com
          # Add custom settings
        volumes:
          - /custom/path/gitea:/data

### Webhooks Integration

Configure webhooks for automated workflows:

    import provisioning.gitea as gitea

    _webhook = gitea.GiteaWebhook {
        url = "https://provisioning.example.com/api/webhooks/gitea"
        events = ["push", "pull_request", "release"]
        secret = "webhook-secret"
    }

### Batch Extension Publishing

    # Publish all taskservs with same version
    provisioning gitea extension publish-batch \
        ./extensions/taskservs \
        1.0.0 \
        --extension-type taskserv

## Examples

Complete examples of how to configure service meshes and ingress controllers in your workspace.

### Example 1: Linkerd + Nginx Ingress Deployment

This is the recommended configuration for most deployments - lightweight and proven.

#### Step 1: Create Taskserv Configurations

File: `workspace/infra/my-cluster/taskservs/cert-manager.ncl`

    import provisioning.extensions.taskservs.infrastructure.cert_manager as cm

    # Cert-manager is required for Linkerd's mTLS certificates
    _taskserv = cm.CertManager {
        version = "v1.15.0"
        namespace = "cert-manager"
    }

File: `workspace/infra/my-cluster/taskservs/linkerd.ncl`

    import provisioning.extensions.taskservs.networking.linkerd as linkerd

    # Lightweight service mesh with minimal overhead
    _taskserv = linkerd.Linkerd {
        version = "2.16.0"
        namespace = "linkerd"

        # Enable observability
        ha_mode = False  # Use True for production HA
        viz_enabled = True
        prometheus = True
        grafana = True

        # Use cert-manager for mTLS certificates
        cert_manager = True
        trust_domain = "cluster.local"

        # Resource configuration (very lightweight)
        resources = {
            proxy_cpu_request = "100m"
            proxy_cpu_limit = "1000m"
            proxy_memory_request = "20Mi"
            proxy_memory_limit = "250Mi"
        }
    }

File: `workspace/infra/my-cluster/taskservs/nginx-ingress.ncl`

    import provisioning.extensions.taskservs.networking.nginx_ingress as nginx

    # Battle-tested ingress controller
    _taskserv = nginx.NginxIngress {
        version = "1.12.0"
        namespace = "ingress-nginx"

        # Deployment configuration
        deployment_type = "Deployment"  # Or "DaemonSet" for node-local ingress
        replicas = 2

        # Enable metrics for observability
        prometheus_metrics = True

        # Resource allocation
        resources = {
            cpu_request = "100m"
            cpu_limit = "1000m"
            memory_request = "90Mi"
            memory_limit = "500Mi"
        }
    }

#### Step 2: Deploy Service Mesh Components

    # Install cert-manager (prerequisite for Linkerd)
    provisioning taskserv create cert-manager

    # Install Linkerd service mesh
    provisioning taskserv create linkerd

    # Install Nginx ingress controller
    provisioning taskserv create nginx-ingress

    # Verify installation
    linkerd check
    kubectl get deploy -n ingress-nginx

#### Step 3: Configure Application Deployment

File: `workspace/infra/my-cluster/clusters/web-api.ncl`

    import provisioning.kcl.k8s_deploy as k8s
    import provisioning.extensions.taskservs.networking.nginx_ingress as nginx

    # Define the web API service with Linkerd service mesh and Nginx ingress
    service = k8s.K8sDeploy {
        # Basic information
        name = "web-api"
        namespace = "production"
        create_ns = True

        # Service mesh configuration - use Linkerd
        service_mesh = "linkerd"
        service_mesh_ns = "linkerd"
        service_mesh_config = {
            mtls_enabled = True
            tracing_enabled = False
        }

        # Ingress configuration - use Nginx
        ingress_controller = "nginx"
        ingress_ns = "ingress-nginx"
        ingress_config = {
            tls_enabled = True
            default_backend = "web-api:8080"
        }

        # Deployment spec
        spec = {
            replicas = 3
            containers = [
                {
                    name = "api"
                    image = "myregistry.azurecr.io/web-api:v1.0.0"
                    imagePull = "Always"
                    ports = [
                        {
                            name = "http"
                            typ = "TCP"
                            container = 8080
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }

        # Kubernetes service
        service = {
            name = "web-api"
            typ = "ClusterIP"
            ports = [
                {
                    name = "http"
                    typ = "TCP"
                    target = 8080
                }
            ]
        }
    }

#### Step 4: Create Ingress Resource

    apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
    kind: Ingress
    metadata:
      name: web-api
      namespace: production
      annotations:
        cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
        nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
    spec:
      ingressClassName: nginx
      tls:
        - hosts:
            - api.example.com
          secretName: web-api-tls
      rules:
        - host: api.example.com
          http:
            paths:
              - path: /
                pathType: Prefix
                backend:
                  service:
                    name: web-api
                    port:
                      number: 8080

        prometheus = True
    }

File: `workspace/infra/my-cluster/taskservs/traefik.ncl`

    import provisioning.extensions.taskservs.networking.traefik as traefik

    # Modern ingress with middleware and auto-TLS
    _taskserv = traefik.Traefik {
        version = "3.3.0"
        namespace = "traefik"
        replicas = 2

        dashboard = True
        metrics = True
        access_logs = True

        # Enable Let's Encrypt for automatic TLS
        lets_encrypt = True
        lets_encrypt_email = "admin@example.com"

        resources = {
            cpu_request = "100m"
            cpu_limit = "1000m"
            memory_request = "128Mi"
            memory_limit = "512Mi"
        }
    }

#### Step 2: Deploy

    provisioning taskserv create cert-manager
    provisioning taskserv create linkerd
    provisioning taskserv create traefik

#### Step 3: Create Traefik IngressRoute

File: `workspace/infra/my-cluster/ingress/api-route.yaml`

    apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
    kind: IngressRoute
    metadata:
      name: api
      namespace: production
    spec:
      entryPoints:
        - websecure
      routes:
        - match: Host(`api.example.com`)
          kind: Rule
          services:
            - name: api-service
              port: 8080
      tls:
        certResolver: letsencrypt
        domains:
          - main: api.example.com

### Example 4: Minimal Setup (Just Nginx, No Service Mesh)

For simple deployments that don’t need service mesh.

#### Step 1: Install Nginx

File: `workspace/infra/my-cluster/taskservs/nginx-ingress.ncl`

    import provisioning.extensions.taskservs.networking.nginx_ingress as nginx

    _taskserv = nginx.NginxIngress {
        version = "1.12.0"
        replicas = 2
        prometheus_metrics = True
    }

#### Step 2: Deploy

    provisioning taskserv create nginx-ingress

#### Step 3: Application Configuration

File: `workspace/infra/my-cluster/clusters/simple-app.ncl`

    import provisioning.kcl.k8s_deploy as k8s

    service = k8s.K8sDeploy {
        name = "simple-app"
        namespace = "default"

        # No service mesh - just ingress
        ingress_controller = "nginx"
        ingress_ns = "ingress-nginx"

        spec = {
            replicas = 2
            containers = [
                {
                    name = "app"
                    image = "nginx:latest"
                    ports = [{ name = "http", typ = "TCP", container = 80 }]
                }
            ]
        }

        service = {
            name = "simple-app"
            typ = "ClusterIP"
            ports = [{ name = "http", typ = "TCP", target = 80 }]
        }
    }

#### Step 4: Create Ingress

File: `workspace/infra/my-cluster/ingress/simple-app-ingress.yaml`

    apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
    kind: Ingress
    metadata:
      name: simple-app
      namespace: default
    spec:
      ingressClassName: nginx
      rules:
        - host: app.example.com
          http:
            paths:
              - path: /
                pathType: Prefix
                backend:
                  service:
                    name: simple-app
                    port:
                      number: 80

# OCI Registry User Guide

Version: 1.0.0 Date: 2025-10-06 Audience: Users and Developers

## Table of Contents

1. Overview
2. Quick Start
3. OCI Commands Reference
4. Dependency Management
5. Extension Development
6. Registry Setup
7. Troubleshooting

## Overview

The OCI registry integration enables distribution and management of provisioning extensions as OCI artifacts. This provides:

- Standard Distribution: Use industry-standard OCI registries
- Version Management: Proper semantic versioning for all extensions
- Dependency Resolution: Automatic dependency management
- Caching: Efficient caching to reduce downloads
- Security: TLS, authentication, and vulnerability scanning support

### What are OCI Artifacts

OCI (Open Container Initiative) artifacts are packaged files distributed through container registries. Unlike Docker images which contain applications, OCI artifacts can contain any type of content - in our case, provisioning extensions (KCL schemas, Nushell scripts, templates, etc.).

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

Install one of the following OCI tools:

    # ORAS (recommended)
    brew install oras

    # Crane (Google's tool)
    go install github.com/google/go-containerregistry/cmd/crane@latest

    # Skopeo (RedHat's tool)
    brew install skopeo

### 1. Start Local OCI Registry (Development)

    # Start lightweight OCI registry (Zot)
    provisioning oci-registry start

    # Verify registry is running
    curl http://localhost:5000/v2/_catalog

### 2. Pull an Extension

    # Pull Kubernetes extension from registry
    provisioning oci pull kubernetes:1.28.0

    # Pull with specific registry
    provisioning oci pull kubernetes:1.28.0 \
      --registry harbor.company.com \
      --namespace provisioning-extensions

### 3. List Available Extensions

    # List all extensions
    provisioning oci list

    # Search for specific extension
    provisioning oci search kubernetes

    # Show available versions
    provisioning oci tags kubernetes

### 4. Configure Workspace to Use OCI

Edit `workspace/config/provisioning.yaml`:

    dependencies:
      extensions:
        source_type: "oci"

        oci:
          registry: "localhost:5000"
          namespace: "provisioning-extensions"
          tls_enabled: false

        modules:
          taskservs:
            - "oci://localhost:5000/provisioning-extensions/kubernetes:1.28.0"
            - "oci://localhost:5000/provisioning-extensions/containerd:1.7.0"

### 5. Resolve Dependencies

    # Resolve and install all dependencies
    provisioning dep resolve

    # Check what will be installed
    provisioning dep resolve --dry-run

    # Show dependency tree
    provisioning dep tree kubernetes

## OCI Commands Reference

    provisioning oci tags redis

    # Share with team
    echo "Published: oci://localhost:5000/provisioning-extensions/redis:1.0.0"

## Registry Setup

### Local Registry (Development)

Using Zot (lightweight):

    # Start Zot registry
    provisioning oci-registry start

    # Configuration:
    # - Endpoint: localhost:5000
    # - Storage: ~/.provisioning/oci-registry/
    # - No authentication
    # - TLS disabled

    # Stop registry
    provisioning oci-registry stop

    # Check status
    provisioning oci-registry status

Manual Zot Setup:

    # Install Zot
    brew install project-zot/tap/zot

    # Create config
    cat > zot-config.json <<EOF
    {
      "storage": {
        "rootDirectory": "/tmp/zot"
      },
      "http": {
        "address": "0.0.0.0",
        "port": "5000"
      },
      "log": {
        "level": "info"
      }
    }
    EOF

    # Run Zot
    zot serve zot-config.json

### Remote Registry (Production)

Using Harbor:

1. Deploy Harbor:

       # Using Docker Compose
       wget https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/releases/download/v2.9.0/harbor-offline-installer-v2.9.0.tgz
       tar xvf harbor-offline-installer-v2.9.0.tgz
       cd harbor
       ./install.sh

2. Configure Workspace:

       # workspace/config/provisioning.yaml
       dependencies:
         registry:
           type: "oci"
           oci:
             endpoint: "https://harbor.company.com"
             namespaces:
               extensions: "provisioning/extensions"
               platform: "provisioning/platform"
             tls_enabled: true
             auth_token_path: "~/.provisioning/tokens/harbor"

3. Login:

       provisioning oci login harbor.company.com --username admin

## Troubleshooting

### No OCI Tool Found

Error: “No OCI tool found. Install oras, crane, or skopeo”

Solution:

    # Install ORAS (recommended)
    brew install oras

    # Or install Crane
    go install github.com/google/go-containerregistry/cmd/crane@latest

    # Or install Skopeo
    brew install skopeo

### Connection Refused

Error: “Connection refused to localhost:5000”

Solution:

    # Check if registry is running
    curl http://localhost:5000/v2/_catalog

    # Start local registry if not running
    provisioning oci-registry start

### TLS Certificate Error

Error: “x509: certificate signed by unknown authority”

Solution:

    # For development, use --insecure flag
    provisioning oci pull kubernetes:1.28.0 --insecure

    # For production, configure TLS properly in workspace config:
    # dependencies:
    #   extensions:
    #     oci:
    #       tls_enabled: true
    #       # Add CA certificate to system trust store

### Authentication Failed

Error: “unauthorized: authentication required”

Solution:

    # Login to registry
    provisioning oci login localhost:5000

    # Or provide auth token in config:
    # dependencies:
    #   extensions:
    #     oci:
    #       auth_token_path: "~/.provisioning/tokens/oci"

### Extension Not Found

Error: “Dependency not found: kubernetes”

Solutions:

1. Check registry endpoint:

       provisioning oci config

2. List available extensions:

       provisioning oci list

3. Check namespace:

       provisioning oci list --namespace provisioning-extensions

4. Verify extension exists:

       provisioning oci tags kubernetes

### Dependency Resolution Failed

Error: “Circular dependency detected”

Solution:

    # Validate dependency graph
    provisioning dep validate kubernetes

    # Check dependency tree
    provisioning dep tree kubernetes

    # Fix circular dependencies in extension manifests

## Best Practices

### Version Pinning

✅ DO: Pin to specific versions in production

    modules:
      taskservs:
        - "oci://registry/kubernetes:1.28.0"  # Specific version

❌ DON’T: Use `latest` tag in production

    modules:
      taskservs:
        - "oci://registry/kubernetes:latest"  # Unpredictable

### Semantic Versioning

✅ DO: Follow semver (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)

- `1.0.0` → `1.0.1`: Backward-compatible bug fix
- `1.0.0` → `1.1.0`: Backward-compatible new feature
- `1.0.0` → `2.0.0`: Breaking change

❌ DON’T: Use arbitrary version numbers

- `v1`, `version-2`, `latest-stable`

### Dependency Management

✅ DO: Specify version constraints

    dependencies:
      containerd: ">=1.7.0"
      etcd: "^3.5.0"  # 3.5.x compatible

❌ DON’T: Leave dependencies unversioned

    dependencies:
      containerd: "*"  # Too permissive

### Security

✅ DO:

- Use TLS for remote registries
- Rotate authentication tokens regularly
- Scan images for vulnerabilities (Harbor)
- Sign artifacts (cosign)

❌ DON’T:

- Use `--insecure` in production
- Store passwords in config files
- Skip certificate verification

# Prov-Ecosystem & Provctl Integrations - Quick Start Guide

Date: 2025-11-23 Version: 1.0.0 For: provisioning v3.6.0+

> Access powerful functionality from prov-ecosystem and provctl directly through provisioning CLI.

## Overview

Four integrated feature sets:

Feature | Purpose | Best For
--- | --- | ---
Runtime Abstraction | Unified Docker/Podman/OrbStack/Colima/nerdctl | Multi-platform deployments
SSH Advanced | Pooling, circuit breaker, retry strategies | Large-scale distributed operations
Backup System | Multi-backend backups (Restic, Borg, Tar, Rsync) | Data protection & disaster recovery
GitOps Events | Event-driven deployments from Git | Continuous deployment automation
Service Management | Cross-platform services (systemd, launchd, runit) | Infrastructure service orchestration

## Quick Start Commands

### 🏃 30-Second Test

    # 1. Check what runtimes you have available
    provisioning runtime list

    # 2. Detect which runtime provisioning will use
    provisioning runtime detect

    # 3. Verify runtime works
    provisioning runtime info

Expected Output:

    Available runtimes:
      • docker
      • podman

## 1️⃣ Runtime Abstraction

### What It Does

Automatically detects and uses Docker, Podman, OrbStack, Colima, or nerdctl - whichever is available on your system. Eliminates hardcoding “docker” commands.

### Commands

    # Detect available runtime
    provisioning runtime detect
    # Output: "Detected runtime: docker"

    # Execute command in runtime
    provisioning runtime exec "docker images"
    # Runs: docker images

    # Get runtime info
    provisioning runtime info
    # Shows: name, command, version

    # List all available runtimes
    provisioning runtime list
    # Shows: docker, podman, orbstack...

    # Adapt docker-compose for detected runtime
    provisioning runtime compose ./docker-compose.yml
    # Output: docker compose -f ./docker-compose.yml

### Examples

Use Case 1: Works on macOS with OrbStack, Linux with Docker

    # User on macOS with OrbStack
    $ provisioning runtime exec "docker run -it ubuntu bash"
    # Automatically uses orbctl (OrbStack)

    # User on Linux with Docker
    $ provisioning runtime exec "docker run -it ubuntu bash"
    # Automatically uses docker

Use Case 2: Run docker-compose with detected runtime

    # Detect and run compose
    $ compose_cmd=$(provisioning runtime compose ./docker-compose.yml)
    $ eval $compose_cmd up -d
    # Works with docker, podman, nerdctl automatically

### Configuration

No configuration needed! Runtime is auto-detected in order:

1. Docker (macOS: OrbStack first; Linux: Docker first)
2. Podman
3. OrbStack (macOS)
4. Colima (macOS)
5. nerdctl

## 2️⃣ SSH Advanced Operations

### What It Does

Advanced SSH with connection pooling (90% faster), circuit breaker for fault isolation, and deployment strategies (rolling, blue-green, canary).

### Commands

    # Create SSH pool connection to host
    provisioning ssh pool connect server.example.com root --port 22 --timeout 30

    # Check pool status
    provisioning ssh pool status

    # List available deployment strategies
    provisioning ssh strategies
    # Output: rolling, blue-green, canary

    # Configure retry strategy
    provisioning ssh retry-config exponential --max-retries 3

    # Check circuit breaker status
    provisioning ssh circuit-breaker
    # Output: state=closed, failures=0/5

### Deployment Strategies

Strategy | Use Case | Risk
--- | --- | ---
Rolling | Gradual rollout across hosts | Low (but slower)
Blue-Green | Zero-downtime, instant rollback | Very low
Canary | Test on small % before full rollout | Very low (5% at risk)

### Example: Multi-Host Deployment

    # Set up SSH pool
    provisioning ssh pool connect srv01.example.com root
    provisioning ssh pool connect srv02.example.com root
    provisioning ssh pool connect srv03.example.com root

    # Execute on pool (all 3 hosts in parallel)
    provisioning ssh pool exec [srv01, srv02, srv03] "systemctl restart myapp" --strategy rolling

    # Check status
    provisioning ssh pool status
    # Output: connections=3, active=0, idle=3, circuit_breaker=green

### Retry Strategies

    # Exponential backoff: 100 ms, 200 ms, 400 ms, 800 ms...
    provisioning ssh retry-config exponential --max-retries 5

    # Linear backoff: 100 ms, 200 ms, 300 ms, 400 ms...
    provisioning ssh retry-config linear --max-retries 3

    # Fibonacci backoff: 100 ms, 100 ms, 200 ms, 300 ms, 500 ms...
    provisioning ssh retry-config fibonacci --max-retries 4

## 3️⃣ Backup System

### What It Does

Multi-backend backup management with Restic, BorgBackup, Tar, or Rsync. Supports local, S3, SFTP, REST API, and Backblaze B2 repositories.

### Commands

    # Create backup job
    provisioning backup create daily-backup /data /var/lib \
      --backend restic \
      --repository s3://my-bucket/backups

    # Restore from snapshot
    provisioning backup restore snapshot-001 --restore_path /data

    # List available snapshots
    provisioning backup list

    # Schedule regular backups
    provisioning backup schedule daily-backup "0 2 * * *" \
      --paths ["/data" "/var/lib"] \
      --backend restic

    # Show retention policy
    provisioning backup retention
    # Output: daily=7, weekly=4, monthly=12, yearly=5

    # Check backup job status
    provisioning backup status backup-job-001

### Backend Comparison

Backend | Speed | Compression | Best For
--- | --- | --- | ---
Restic | ⚡⚡⚡ | Excellent | Cloud backups
BorgBackup | ⚡⚡ | Excellent | Large archives
Tar | ⚡⚡⚡ | Good | Simple backups
Rsync | ⚡⚡⚡ | None | Incremental syncs

### Example: Automated Daily Backups to S3

    # Create backup configuration
    provisioning backup create app-backup /opt/myapp /var/lib/myapp \
      --backend restic \
      --repository s3://prod-backups/myapp

    # Schedule daily at 2 AM
    provisioning backup schedule app-backup "0 2 * * *"

    # Set retention: keep 7 days, 4 weeks, 12 months, 5 years
    provisioning backup retention \
      --daily 7 \
      --weekly 4 \
      --monthly 12 \
      --yearly 5

    # Verify backup was created
    provisioning backup list

### Dry-Run (Test First)

    # Test backup without actually creating it
    provisioning backup create test-backup /data --check

    # Test restore without actually restoring
    provisioning backup restore snapshot-001 --check

## 4️⃣ GitOps Event-Driven Deployments

### What It Does

Automatically trigger deployments from Git events (push, PR, webhook, scheduled). Supports GitHub, GitLab, Gitea.

### Commands

    # Load GitOps rules from configuration file
    provisioning gitops rules ./gitops-rules.yaml

    # Watch for Git events (starts webhook listener)
    provisioning gitops watch --provider github --webhook-port 8080

    # List supported events
    provisioning gitops events
    # Output: push, pull-request, webhook, scheduled, health-check, manual

    # Manually trigger deployment
    provisioning gitops trigger deploy-prod --environment prod

    # List active deployments
    provisioning gitops deployments --status running

    # Show GitOps status
    provisioning gitops status
    # Output: active_rules=5, total=42, successful=40, failed=2

### Example: GitOps Configuration

File: `gitops-rules.yaml`

    rules:
      - name: deploy-prod
        provider: github
        repository: https://github.com/myorg/myrepo
        branch: main
        events:
          - push
        targets:
          - prod
        command: "provisioning deploy"
        require_approval: true

      - name: deploy-staging
        provider: github
        repository: https://github.com/myorg/myrepo
        branch: develop
        events:
          - push
          - pull-request
        targets:
          - staging
        command: "provisioning deploy"
        require_approval: false

Then:

    # Load rules
    provisioning gitops rules ./gitops-rules.yaml

    # Watch for events
    provisioning gitops watch --provider github

    # When you push to main, deployment auto-triggers!
    # git push origin main → provisioning deploy runs automatically

## 5️⃣ Service Management

### What It Does

Install, start, stop, and manage services across systemd (Linux), launchd (macOS), runit, and OpenRC.

### Commands

    # Install service
    provisioning service install myapp /usr/local/bin/myapp \
      --user myapp \
      --working-dir /opt/myapp

    # Start service
    provisioning service start myapp

    # Stop service
    provisioning service stop myapp

    # Restart service
    provisioning service restart myapp

    # Check service status
    provisioning service status myapp
    # Output: running=true, uptime=86400s, restarts=2

    # List all services
    provisioning service list

    # Detect init system
    provisioning service detect-init
    # Output: systemd (Linux), launchd (macOS), etc.

### Example: Install Custom Service

    # On Linux (systemd)
    provisioning service install provisioning-worker \
      /usr/local/bin/provisioning-worker \
      --user provisioning \
      --working-dir /opt/provisioning

    # On macOS (launchd) - works the same!
    provisioning service install provisioning-worker \
      /usr/local/bin/provisioning-worker \
      --user provisioning \
      --working-dir /opt/provisioning

    # Service file is generated automatically for your platform
    provisioning service start provisioning-worker
    provisioning service status provisioning-worker

## 🎯 Common Workflows

### Workflow 1: Multi-Platform Deployment

    # Works on macOS with OrbStack, Linux with Docker, etc.
    provisioning runtime detect          # Detects your platform
    provisioning runtime exec "docker ps" # Uses your runtime

### Workflow 2: Large-Scale SSH Operations

    # Connect to multiple servers
    for host in srv01 srv02 srv03; do
      provisioning ssh pool connect $host.example.com root
    done

    # Execute in parallel with 3x retry
    provisioning ssh pool exec [srv01, srv02, srv03] \
      "systemctl restart app" \
      --strategy rolling \
      --retry exponential

### Workflow 3: Automated Backups

    # Create backup job
    provisioning backup create daily /opt/app /data \
      --backend restic \
      --repository s3://backups

    # Schedule for 2 AM every day
    provisioning backup schedule daily "0 2 * * *"

    # Verify it works
    provisioning backup list

### Workflow 4: Continuous Deployment from Git

    # Define rules in YAML
    cat > gitops-rules.yaml << 'EOF'
    rules:
      - name: deploy-prod
        provider: github
        repository: https://github.com/myorg/repo
        branch: main
        events: [push]
        targets: [prod]
        command: "provisioning deploy"
    EOF

    # Load and activate
    provisioning gitops rules ./gitops-rules.yaml
    provisioning gitops watch --provider github

    # Now pushing to main auto-deploys!

## 🔧 Advanced Configuration

### Using with Nickel Configuration

All integrations support Nickel schemas for advanced configuration:

    let { IntegrationConfig } = import "provisioning/integrations.ncl" in
    {
      integrations = {
        # Runtime configuration
        runtime = {
          preferred = "podman",
          check_order = ["podman", "docker", "nerdctl"],
          timeout_secs = 5,
          enable_cache = true,
        },

        # Backup with retention policy
        backup = {
          default_backend = "restic",
          default_repository = {
            type = "s3",
            bucket = "prod-backups",
            prefix = "daily",
          },
          jobs = [],
          verify_after_backup = true,
        },

        # GitOps rules with approval
        gitops = {
          rules = [],
          default_strategy = "blue-green",
          dry_run_by_default = false,
          enable_audit_log = true,
        },
      }
    }

## 💡 Tips & Tricks

### Tip 1: Dry-Run Mode

All major operations support `--check` for testing:

    provisioning runtime exec "systemctl restart app" --check
    # Output: Would execute: [docker exec ...]

    provisioning backup create test /data --check
    # Output: Backup would be created: [test]

    provisioning gitops trigger deploy-test --check
    # Output: Deployment would trigger

### Tip 2: Output Formats

Some commands support JSON output:

    provisioning runtime list --out json
    provisioning backup list --out json
    provisioning gitops deployments --out json

### Tip 3: Integration with Scripts

Chain commands in shell scripts:

    #!/bin/bash

    # Detect runtime and use it
    RUNTIME=$(provisioning runtime detect | grep -oP 'docker|podman|nerdctl')

    # Execute using detected runtime
    provisioning runtime exec "docker ps"

    # Create backup before deploy
    provisioning backup create pre-deploy-$(date +%s) /opt/app

    # Deploy
    provisioning deploy

    # Verify with GitOps
    provisioning gitops status

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Problem: “No container runtime detected”

Solution: Install Docker, Podman, or OrbStack:

    # macOS
    brew install orbstack

    # Linux
    sudo apt-get install docker.io

    # Then verify
    provisioning runtime detect

### Problem: SSH connection timeout

Solution: Check port and timeout settings:

    # Use different port
    provisioning ssh pool connect server.example.com root --port 2222

    # Increase timeout
    provisioning ssh pool connect server.example.com root --timeout 60

### Problem: Backup fails with “Permission denied”

Solution: Check permissions on backup path:

    # Check if user can read target paths
    ls -l /data  # Should be readable

    # Run with elevated privileges if needed
    sudo provisioning backup create mybak /data --backend restic

## 📚 Complete Guide by Phases

### Phase 1: Database and Application Secrets

#### 1.1 Create Database Credentials

REST Endpoint:

    POST /api/v1/secrets/database
    Content-Type: application/json

    {
      "workspace_id": "librecloud",
      "infra_id": "wuji",
      "db_type": "postgresql",
      "host": "db.librecloud.internal",
      "port": 5432,
      "database": "production_db",
      "username": "admin",
      "password": "encrypted_password"
    }

CLI Command:

    provisioning secrets create database postgres \
      --workspace librecloud \
      --infra wuji \
      --user admin \
      --password "password" \
      --host db.librecloud.internal \
      --port 5432 \
      --database production_db

Result: Secret stored in SurrealDB with KMS encryption

    ✓ Secret created: librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password
      Workspace: librecloud
      Infrastructure: wuji
      Domain: postgres
      Type: Database
      Encrypted: Yes (KMS)

#### 1.2 Create Application Secrets

REST API:

    POST /api/v1/secrets/application
    {
      "workspace_id": "librecloud",
      "app_name": "myapp-web",
      "key_type": "api_token",
      "value": "sk_live_abc123xyz"
    }

CLI:

    provisioning secrets create app myapp-web \
      --workspace librecloud \
      --domain web \
      --type api_token \
      --value "sk_live_abc123xyz"

#### 1.3 List Secrets

REST API:

    GET /api/v1/secrets/list?workspace=librecloud&domain=postgres

    Response:
    {
      "secrets": [
        {
          "path": "librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password",
          "workspace_id": "librecloud",
          "domain": "postgres",

    provisioning secrets list --workspace librecloud

    # Filter by domain
    provisioning secrets list --workspace librecloud --domain postgres

    # Filter by infrastructure
    provisioning secrets list --workspace librecloud --infra wuji

#### 1.4 Retrieve a Secret

REST API:

    GET /api/v1/secrets/librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password

    Requires:
    - Header: Authorization: Bearer <jwt_token>
    - Cedar verification: [user has read permission]
    - If MFA required: mfa_verified=true in JWT

CLI:

    # Get full secret
    provisioning secrets get librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password

    # Output:
    # Host: db.librecloud.internal
    # Port: 5432
    # User: admin
    # Database: production_db
    # Password: [encrypted in transit]

### Phase 2: SSH Keys and Provider Credentials

#### 2.1 Temporal SSH Keys (Auto-expiring)

Use Case: Temporary server access (max 24 hours)

    # Generate temporary SSH key (TTL 2 hours)
    provisioning secrets create ssh \
      --workspace librecloud \
      --infra wuji \
      --server web01 \
      --ttl 2h

    # Result:
    # ✓ SSH key generated
    #   Server: web01
    #   TTL: 2 hours
    #   Expires at: 2025-12-06T12:00:00Z
    #   Private Key: [encrypted]

Technical Details:

- Generated in real-time by Orchestrator
- Stored in memory (TTL-based)
- Automatic revocation on expiry
- Complete audit trail in vault_audit

#### 2.2 Permanent SSH Keys (Stored)

Use Case: Long-duration infrastructure keys

    # Create permanent SSH key (stored in DB)
    provisioning secrets create ssh \
      --workspace librecloud \
      --infra wuji \
      --server web01 \
      --permanent

    # Result:
    # ✓ Permanent SSH key created
    #   Storage: SurrealDB (encrypted)
    #   Rotation: Manual (or automatic if configured)
    #   Access: Cedar controlled

#### 2.3 Provider Credentials

UpCloud API (Temporal):

    provisioning secrets create provider upcloud \
      --workspace librecloud \
      --roles "server,network,storage" \
      --ttl 4h

    # Result:
    # ✓ UpCloud credential generated
    #   Token: tmp_upcloud_abc123
    #   Roles: server, network, storage
    #   TTL: 4 hours

UpCloud API (Permanent):

    provisioning secrets create provider upcloud \
      --workspace librecloud \
      --roles "server,network" \
      --permanent

    # Result:
    # ✓ Permanent UpCloud credential created
    #   Token: upcloud_live_xyz789
    #   Storage: SurrealDB
    #   Rotation: Manual

### Phase 3: Auto Rotation

#### 3.1 Plan Automatic Rotation

Predefined Rotation Policies:

Type | Prod | Dev
--- | --- | ---
Database | Every 30d | Every 90d
Application | Every 60d | Every 14d
SSH | Every 365d | Every 90d
Provider | Every 180d | Every 30d

Force Immediate Rotation:

    # Force rotation now
    provisioning secrets rotate librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password

    # Result:
    # ✓ Rotation initiated
    #   Status: In Progress
    #   New password: [generated]
    #   Old password: [archived]
    #   Next rotation: 2025-01-05

Check Rotation Status:

    GET /api/v1/secrets/{path}/rotation-status

    Response:
    {
      "path": "librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password",
      "status": "pending",
      "next_rotation": "2025-01-05T10:00:00Z",
      "last_rotation": "2025-12-05T10:00:00Z",
      "days_remaining": 30,
      "failure_count": 0
    }

#### 3.2 Rotation Job Scheduler (Background)

System automatically runs rotations every hour:

    ┌─────────────────────────────────┐
    │  Rotation Job Scheduler         │
    │  - Interval: 1 hour             │
    │  - Max concurrency: 5 rotations │
    │  - Auto retry                   │
    └─────────────────────────────────┘

          "access_count": 42,
          "last_accessed": "2025-12-06T10:30:00Z"
        }
      ]
    }

### Phase 3.4: Monitoring and Alerts

#### Dashboard Metrics

    GET /api/v1/secrets/monitoring/dashboard

    Response:
    {
      "total_secrets": 45,
      "temporal_secrets": 12,

      "expiring_secrets": [
        {
          "path": "librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password",
          "domain": "postgres",
          "days_remaining": 5,
          "severity": "critical"
        }
      ],
      "failed_access_attempts": [
        {
          "user": "alice",
          "secret_path": "librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password",

        "completed": 40,
        "pending": 3,
        "failed": 2
      }
    }

CLI:

    provisioning secrets monitoring dashboard

    # ✓ Secrets Dashboard - Librecloud
    #
    #  Total secrets: 45
    #  Temporal secrets: 12
    #  Permanent secrets: 33
    #
    #  ⚠️  CRITICAL (next 3 days): 2
    #      - librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password (5 days)

          "last_rotation": "2025-11-05T10:00:00Z"
        }
      ]
    }

## 🔐 Cedar Authorization

All operations are protected by Cedar policies:

### Example Policy: Production Secret Access

    // Requires MFA for production secrets
    @id("prod-secret-access-mfa")
    permit (
      principal,
      action == Provisioning::Action::"access",
      resource is Provisioning::Secret in Provisioning::Environment::"production"
    ) when {
      context.mfa_verified == true &&
      resource.is_expired == false
    };

    // Only admins can create permanent secrets
    @id("permanent-secret-admin-only")
    permit (
      principal in Provisioning::Role::"security_admin",
      action == Provisioning::Action::"create",
      resource is Provisioning::Secret
    ) when {
      resource.lifecycle == "permanent"
    };

### Verify Authorization

    # Test Cedar decision
    provisioning policies check alice can access secret:librecloud/postgres/password

    # Result:
    # User: alice
    # Resource: secret:librecloud/postgres/password
    # Decision: ✅ ALLOWED
    #   - Role: database_admin
    #   - MFA verified: Yes
    #   - Workspace: librecloud

## 🏗️ Data Structure

## 🔄 Complete Workflows

### Workflow 1: Create and Rotate Database Credential

    1. Admin creates credential
       POST /api/v1/secrets/database

    2. System encrypts with KMS
       ├─ Generates data key
       ├─ Encrypts secret with data key
       └─ Encrypts data key with KMS master key

    3. Stores in SurrealDB
       ├─ vault_secrets (encrypted value)
       ├─ vault_versions (history)
       └─ vault_audit (audit record)

    4. System schedules auto rotation
       ├─ Calculates next date (30 days)
       └─ Creates rotation_scheduler entry

    5. Every hour, background job checks
       ├─ Any secrets due for rotation?
       ├─ Yes → Generate new password
       ├─ Validate functionality (connect to DB)
       ├─ Update SurrealDB
       └─ Log to audit

    6. Monitoring alerts
       ├─ If 7 days remaining → WARNING alert
       ├─ If 3 days remaining → CRITICAL alert
       └─ If expired → EXPIRED alert

### Workflow 2: Share Secret Between Workspaces

    1. Admin of librecloud creates grant
       POST /api/v1/secrets/{path}/grant

    2. Cedar verifies authorization
       ├─ Is user admin of source workspace?
       └─ Is target workspace valid?

    3. Grant created and recorded
       ├─ Unique ID: grant-xxxxx
       ├─ Status: active
       └─ Audit: who, when, why

    4. Staging workspace user accesses secret
       GET /api/v1/secrets/{path}

    5. System verifies access
       ├─ Cedar: Is grant active?
       ├─ Cedar: Sufficient permission?
       ├─ Cedar: MFA if required?
       └─ Yes → Return decrypted secret

    6. Audit records access
       ├─ User who accessed
       ├─ Source IP
       ├─ Exact timestamp
       ├─ Success/failure
       └─ Increment access count in grant

### Workflow 3: Access Temporal SSH Secret

    1. User requests temporary SSH key
       POST /api/v1/secrets/ssh
       {ttl: "2h"}

    2. Cedar authorizes (requires MFA)
       ├─ User has role?
       ├─ MFA verified?
       └─ TTL within limit (max 24h)?

    3. Orchestrator generates key
       ├─ Generates SSH key pair (RSA 4096)
       ├─ Stores in memory (TTL-based)
       ├─ Logs to audit
       └─ Returns private key

    4. User downloads key
       └─ Valid for 2 hours

    5. Automatic expiration
       ├─ 2-hour timer starts
       ├─ TTL expires → Auto revokes
       ├─ Later attempts → Access denied
       └─ Audit: automatic revocation

## 📝 Practical Examples

### Example 1: Manage PostgreSQL Secrets

    # 1. Create credential
    provisioning secrets create database postgres \
      --workspace librecloud \
      --infra wuji \
      --user admin \
      --password "P@ssw0rd123!" \
      --host db.librecloud.internal \
      --port 5432 \
      --database myapp_prod

    # 2. List PostgreSQL secrets
    provisioning secrets list --workspace librecloud --domain postgres

    # 3. Get for connection
    provisioning secrets get librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password

    # 4. Share with staging team
    provisioning secrets grant \
      --secret librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password \
      --target-workspace staging \
      --permission read

    # 5. Force rotation
    provisioning secrets rotate librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password

    # 6. Check status
    provisioning secrets monitoring dashboard | grep postgres

### Example 2: Temporary SSH Access

    # 1. Generate temporary SSH key (4 hours)
    provisioning secrets create ssh \
      --workspace librecloud \
      --infra wuji \
      --server web01 \
      --ttl 4h

    # 2. Download private key
    provisioning secrets get librecloud/wuji/ssh/web01_key > ~/.ssh/web01_temp

    # 3. Connect to server
    chmod 600 ~/.ssh/web01_temp
    ssh -i ~/.ssh/web01_temp ubuntu@web01.librecloud.internal

    # 4. After 4 hours
    # → Key revoked automatically
    # → New SSH attempts fail
    # → Access logged in audit

### Example 3: CI/CD Integration

    # GitLab CI / GitHub Actions
    jobs:
      deploy:
        script:
          # 1. Get DB credential
          - export DB_PASSWORD=$(provisioning secrets get librecloud/prod/postgres/admin_password)

          # 2. Get API token
          - export API_TOKEN=$(provisioning secrets get librecloud/app/api_token)

          # 3. Deploy application
          - docker run -e DB_PASSWORD=$DB_PASSWORD -e API_TOKEN=$API_TOKEN myapp:latest

          # 4. System logs access in audit
          #    → User: ci-deploy
          #    → Workspace: librecloud
          #    → Secrets accessed: 2
          #    → Status: success

## 🛡️ Security

### Problem: “Authorization denied by Cedar policy”

Cause: User lacks permissions in policy Solution:

    # Check user and permission
    provisioning policies check $USER can access secret:librecloud/postgres/admin_password

    # Check roles
    provisioning auth whoami

    # Request access from admin
    provisioning secrets grant \
      --secret librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password \
      --target-workspace $WORKSPACE \
      --permission read

### Problem: “Secret not found”

Cause: Typo in path or workspace doesn’t exist Solution:

    # List available secrets
    provisioning secrets list --workspace librecloud

    # Check active workspace
    provisioning workspace active

    # Switch workspace if needed
    provisioning workspace switch librecloud

### Problem: “MFA required”

Cause: Operation requires MFA but not verified Solution:

    # Check MFA status
    provisioning auth status

    # Enroll if not configured
    provisioning mfa totp enroll

    # Use MFA token on next access
    provisioning secrets get librecloud/wuji/postgres/admin_password --mfa-code 123456

Test taskserv before deployment:

    # Test new taskserv version
    provisioning test env single my-taskserv --auto-start

    # Check logs
    provisioning test env logs <env-id>

### 2. Multi-Taskserv Integration

Test taskserv combinations:

    # Test kubernetes + cilium + containerd
    provisioning test env server k8s-test [kubernetes cilium containerd] --auto-start

### 3. Cluster Validation

Test cluster configurations:

    # Test 3-node etcd cluster
    provisioning test topology load etcd_cluster | test env cluster etcd --auto-start

### 4. CI/CD Integration

    # .gitlab-ci.yml
    test-taskserv:
      stage: test
      script:
        - provisioning test quick kubernetes
        - provisioning test quick redis
        - provisioning test quick postgres

## Advanced Features

### Resource Limits

    # Custom CPU and memory
    provisioning test env single postgres \
      --cpu 4000 \
      --memory 8192

### Network Isolation

Each environment gets isolated network:

- Subnet: 172.20.0.0/16 (default)
- DNS enabled
- Container-to-container communication

### Auto-Cleanup

    # Auto-cleanup after tests
    provisioning test env single redis --auto-start --auto-cleanup

### Multiple Environments

Run tests in parallel:

    # Create multiple environments
    provisioning test env single kubernetes --auto-start &
    provisioning test env single postgres --auto-start &
    provisioning test env single redis --auto-start &

    wait

    # List all
    provisioning test env list

## Troubleshooting

### Docker not running

    Error: Failed to connect to Docker

Solution:

    # Check Docker
    docker ps

    # Start Docker daemon
    sudo systemctl start docker  # Linux
    open -a Docker  # macOS

### Orchestrator not running

    Error: Connection refused (port 8080)

Solution:

    cd provisioning/platform/orchestrator
    ./scripts/start-orchestrator.nu --background

### Environment creation fails

Check logs:

    provisioning test env logs <env-id>

Check Docker:

    docker ps -a
    docker logs <container-id>

### Out of resources

    Error: Cannot allocate memory

Solution:

    # Cleanup old environments
    provisioning test env list | each {|env| provisioning test env cleanup $env.id }

    # Or cleanup Docker
    docker system prune -af

## Best Practices

### 1. Use Templates

Reuse topology templates instead of recreating:

    provisioning test topology load kubernetes_3node | test env cluster kubernetes

### 2. Auto-Cleanup

Always use auto-cleanup in CI/CD:

    provisioning test quick <taskserv>  # Includes auto-cleanup

### 3. Resource Planning

Adjust resources based on needs:

- Development: 1-2 cores, 2 GB RAM
- Integration: 2-4 cores, 4-8 GB RAM
- Production-like: 4+ cores, 8+ GB RAM

### 4. Parallel Testing

Run independent tests in parallel:

    for taskserv in [kubernetes postgres redis] {
        provisioning test quick $taskserv &
    }
    wait

# Taskserv Validation and Testing Guide

Version: 1.0.0 Date: 2025-10-06 Status: Production Ready

## Overview

The taskserv validation and testing system provides comprehensive evaluation of infrastructure services before deployment, reducing errors and increasing confidence in deployments.

## Validation Levels

### 1. Static Validation

Validates configuration files, templates, and scripts without requiring infrastructure access.

What it checks:

- KCL schema syntax and semantics
- Jinja2 template syntax
- Shell script syntax (with shellcheck if available)
- File structure and naming conventions

Command:

    provisioning taskserv validate kubernetes --level static

### 2. Dependency Validation

Checks taskserv dependencies, conflicts, and requirements.

What it checks:

- Required dependencies are available
- Optional dependencies status
- Conflicting taskservs
- Resource requirements (memory, CPU, disk)
- Health check configuration

Command:

    provisioning taskserv validate kubernetes --level dependencies

Check against infrastructure:

    provisioning taskserv check-deps kubernetes --infra my-project

### 3. Check Mode (Dry-Run)

Enhanced check mode that performs validation and previews deployment without making changes.

What it does:

- Runs static validation
- Validates dependencies
- Previews configuration generation
- Lists files to be deployed
- Checks prerequisites (without SSH in check mode)

Command:

    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --check

### 4. Sandbox Testing

Tests taskserv in isolated container environment before actual deployment.

What it tests:

- Package prerequisites
- Configuration validity
- Script execution
- Health check simulation

Command:

    # Test with Docker
    provisioning taskserv test kubernetes --runtime docker

    # Test with Podman
    provisioning taskserv test kubernetes --runtime podman

    # Keep container for inspection
    provisioning taskserv test kubernetes --runtime docker --keep

## Complete Validation Workflow

### Recommended Validation Sequence

    # 1. Static validation (fastest, no infrastructure needed)
    provisioning taskserv validate kubernetes --level static -v

    # 2. Dependency validation
    provisioning taskserv check-deps kubernetes --infra my-project

    # 3. Check mode (dry-run with full validation)
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --check -v

    # 4. Sandbox testing (optional, requires Docker/Podman)
    provisioning taskserv test kubernetes --runtime docker

    # 5. Actual deployment (after all validations pass)
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes

### Quick Validation (All Levels)

    # Run all validation levels
    provisioning taskserv validate kubernetes --level all -v

## Integration with CI/CD

### GitLab CI Example

    validate-taskservs:
      stage: validate
      script:
        - provisioning taskserv validate kubernetes --level all --out json
        - provisioning taskserv check-deps kubernetes --infra production

    test-taskservs:
      stage: test
      script:
        - provisioning taskserv test kubernetes --runtime docker
      dependencies:
        - validate-taskservs

    deploy-taskservs:
      stage: deploy
      script:
        - provisioning taskserv create kubernetes
      dependencies:
        - test-taskservs
      only:
        - main

### GitHub Actions Example

    name: Taskserv Validation

    on: [push, pull_request]

    jobs:
      validate:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
          - uses: actions/checkout@v3

          - name: Validate Taskservs
            run: |
              provisioning taskserv validate kubernetes --level all -v

          - name: Check Dependencies
            run: |
              provisioning taskserv check-deps kubernetes --infra production

          - name: Test in Sandbox
            run: |
              provisioning taskserv test kubernetes --runtime docker

## Troubleshooting

### shellcheck not found

If shellcheck is not available, script validation will be skipped with a warning.

Install shellcheck:

    # macOS
    brew install shellcheck

    # Ubuntu/Debian
    apt install shellcheck

    # Fedora
    dnf install shellcheck

### Docker/Podman not available

Sandbox testing requires Docker or Podman.

Check runtime:

    # Docker
    docker ps

    # Podman
    podman ps

    # Use native mode (limited testing)
    provisioning taskserv test kubernetes --runtime native

### Nickel type checking errors

Nickel type checking errors indicate syntax or type problems.

Common fixes:

- Check schema syntax in `.ncl` files
- Validate imports and dependencies
- Run `nickel format` to format files
- Check `manifest.toml` dependencies

### Dependency conflicts

If conflicting taskservs are detected:

- Remove conflicting taskserv first
- Check infrastructure configuration
- Review dependency declarations in `dependencies.ncl`

## Advanced Usage

### Custom Validation Scripts

You can create custom validation scripts by extending the validation framework:

    # custom_validation.nu
    use provisioning/core/nulib/taskservs/validate.nu *

    def custom-validate [taskserv: string] {
        # Custom validation logic
        let result = (validate-nickel-schemas $taskserv --verbose=true)

        # Additional custom checks
        # ...

        return $result
    }

### Batch Validation

Validate multiple taskservs:

    # Validate all taskservs in infrastructure
    for taskserv in (provisioning taskserv list | get name) {
        provisioning taskserv validate $taskserv
    }

### Automated Testing

Create test suite for all taskservs:

    #!/usr/bin/env nu

    let taskservs = ["kubernetes", "containerd", "cilium", "etcd"]

    for ts in $taskservs {
        print $"Testing ($ts)..."
        provisioning taskserv test $ts --runtime docker
    }

## Best Practices

### Before Deployment

1. Always validate before deploying to production
2. Run check mode to preview changes
3. Test in sandbox for critical services
4. Check dependencies in infrastructure context

### During Development

1. Validate frequently during taskserv development
2. Use verbose mode to understand validation details
3. Fix warnings even if validation passes
4. Keep containers for debugging test failures

### In CI/CD

1. Fail fast on validation errors
2. Require all tests pass before merge
3. Generate reports in JSON format for analysis
4. Archive test results for audit trail

## Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

- ✅ Operating System: macOS, Linux, or Windows (WSL2 recommended)
- ✅ Administrator Access: Ability to install software and configure system
- ✅ Internet Connection: For downloading dependencies and accessing cloud providers
- ✅ Cloud Provider Credentials: UpCloud, Hetzner, AWS, or local development environment
- ✅ Basic Terminal Knowledge: Comfortable running shell commands
- ✅ Text Editor: vim, nano, Zed, VSCode, or your preferred editor

### Recommended Hardware

- CPU: 2+ cores
- RAM: 8 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended
- Disk: 20 GB free space minimum

## Step 1: Install Nushell

Nushell 0.109.1+ is the primary shell and scripting language for the provisioning platform.

### macOS (via Homebrew)

    # Install Nushell
    brew install nushell

    # Verify installation
    nu --version
    # Expected: 0.109.1 or higher

### Linux (via Package Manager)

Ubuntu/Debian:

    # Add Nushell repository
    curl -fsSL https://starship.rs/install.sh | bash

    # Install Nushell
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install nushell

    # Verify installation
    nu --version

Fedora:

    sudo dnf install nushell
    nu --version

Arch Linux:

    sudo pacman -S nushell
    nu --version

### Linux/macOS (via Cargo)

    # Install Rust (if not already installed)
    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
    source $HOME/.cargo/env

    # Install Nushell
    cargo install nu --locked

    # Verify installation
    nu --version

### Windows (via Winget)

    # Install Nushell
    winget install nushell

    # Verify installation
    nu --version

### Configure Nushell

    # Start Nushell
    nu

    # Configure (creates default config if not exists)
    config nu

## Step 2: Install Nushell Plugins (Recommended)

Native plugins provide 10-50x performance improvement for authentication, KMS, and orchestrator operations.

### Why Install Plugins

Performance Gains:

- 🚀 KMS operations: ~5 ms vs ~50 ms (10x faster)
- 🚀 Orchestrator queries: ~1 ms vs ~30 ms (30x faster)
- 🚀 Batch encryption: 100 files in 0.5s vs 5s (10x faster)

Benefits:

- ✅ Native Nushell integration (pipelines, data structures)
- ✅ OS keyring for secure token storage
- ✅ Offline capability (Age encryption, local orchestrator)
- ✅ Graceful fallback to HTTP if not installed

### Prerequisites for Building Plugins

    # Install Rust toolchain (if not already installed)
    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
    source $HOME/.cargo/env
    rustc --version
    # Expected: rustc 1.75+ or higher

    # Linux only: Install development packages
    sudo apt install libssl-dev pkg-config  # Ubuntu/Debian
    sudo dnf install openssl-devel          # Fedora

    # Linux only: Install keyring service (required for auth plugin)
    sudo apt install gnome-keyring          # Ubuntu/Debian (GNOME)
    sudo apt install kwalletmanager         # Ubuntu/Debian (KDE)

### Build Plugins

    # Navigate to plugins directory
    cd provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins

    # Build all three plugins in release mode (optimized)
    cargo build --release --all

    # Expected output:
    #    Compiling nu_plugin_auth v0.1.0
    #    Compiling nu_plugin_kms v0.1.0
    #    Compiling nu_plugin_orchestrator v0.1.0
    #     Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 2m 15s

Build time: ~2-5 minutes depending on hardware

### Register Plugins with Nushell

    # Register all three plugins (full paths recommended)
    plugin add $PWD/target/release/nu_plugin_auth
    plugin add $PWD/target/release/nu_plugin_kms
    plugin add $PWD/target/release/nu_plugin_orchestrator

    # Alternative (from plugins directory)
    plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_auth
    plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_kms
    plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_orchestrator

### Verify Plugin Installation

    # List registered plugins
    plugin list | where name =~ "auth|kms|orch"

    # Expected output:
    # ╭───┬─────────────────────────┬─────────┬───────────────────────────────────╮
    # │ # │          name           │ version │           filename                │
    # ├───┼─────────────────────────┼─────────┼───────────────────────────────────┤
    # │ 0 │ nu_plugin_auth          │ 0.1.0   │ .../nu_plugin_auth                │
    # │ 1 │ nu_plugin_kms           │ 0.1.0   │ .../nu_plugin_kms                 │
    # │ 2 │ nu_plugin_orchestrator  │ 0.1.0   │ .../nu_plugin_orchestrator        │
    # ╰───┴─────────────────────────┴─────────┴───────────────────────────────────╯

    # Test each plugin
    auth --help       # Should show auth commands
    kms --help        # Should show kms commands
    orch --help       # Should show orch commands

### Configure Plugin Environments

    # Add to ~/.config/nushell/env.nu
    $env.CONTROL_CENTER_URL = "http://localhost:3000"
    $env.RUSTYVAULT_ADDR = "http://localhost:8200"
    $env.RUSTYVAULT_TOKEN = "your-vault-token-here"
    $env.ORCHESTRATOR_DATA_DIR = "provisioning/platform/orchestrator/data"

    # For Age encryption (local development)
    $env.AGE_IDENTITY = $"($env.HOME)/.age/key.txt"
    $env.AGE_RECIPIENT = "age1xxxxxxxxx"  # Replace with your public key

### Test Plugins (Quick Smoke Test)

    # Test KMS plugin (requires backend configured)
    kms status
    # Expected: { backend: "rustyvault", status: "healthy", ... }
    # Or: Error if backend not configured (OK for now)

    # Test orchestrator plugin (reads local files)
    orch status
    # Expected: { active_tasks: 0, completed_tasks: 0, health: "healthy" }
    # Or: Error if orchestrator not started yet (OK for now)

    # Test auth plugin (requires control center)
    auth verify
    # Expected: { active: false }
    # Or: Error if control center not running (OK for now)

Note: It’s OK if plugins show errors at this stage. We’ll configure backends and services later.

### Skip Plugins (Not Recommended)

If you want to skip plugin installation for now:

- ✅ All features work via HTTP API (slower but functional)
- ⚠️ You’ll miss 10-50x performance improvements
- ⚠️ No offline capability for KMS/orchestrator
- ℹ️ You can install plugins later anytime

To use HTTP fallback:

    # System automatically uses HTTP if plugins not available
    # No configuration changes needed

## Step 3: Install Required Tools

### Essential Tools

SOPS (Secrets Management)

    # macOS
    brew install sops

    # Linux
    wget https://github.com/mozilla/sops/releases/download/v3.10.2/sops-v3.10.2.linux.amd64
    sudo mv sops-v3.10.2.linux.amd64 /usr/local/bin/sops
    sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sops

    # Verify
    sops --version
    # Expected: 3.10.2 or higher

Age (Encryption Tool)

    # macOS
    brew install age

    # Linux
    sudo apt install age  # Ubuntu/Debian
    sudo dnf install age  # Fedora

    # Or from source
    go install filippo.io/age/cmd/...@latest

    # Verify
    age --version
    # Expected: 1.2.1 or higher

    # Generate Age key (for local encryption)
    age-keygen -o ~/.age/key.txt
    cat ~/.age/key.txt
    # Save the public key (age1...) for later

### Optional but Recommended Tools

K9s (Kubernetes Management)

    # macOS
    brew install k9s

    # Linux
    curl -sS https://webinstall.dev/k9s | bash

    # Verify
    k9s version
    # Expected: 0.50.6 or higher

glow (Markdown Renderer)

    # macOS
    brew install glow

    # Linux
    sudo apt install glow  # Ubuntu/Debian
    sudo dnf install glow  # Fedora

    # Verify
    glow --version

## Step 4: Clone and Setup Project

### Clone Repository

    # Clone project
    git clone https://github.com/your-org/project-provisioning.git
    cd project-provisioning

    # Or if already cloned, update to latest
    git pull origin main

### Add CLI to PATH (Optional)

    # Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
    export PATH="$PATH:/Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/core/cli"

    # Or create symlink
    sudo ln -s /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/core/cli/provisioning /usr/local/bin/provisioning

    # Verify
    provisioning version
    # Expected: 3.5.0

## Step 5: Initialize Workspace

A workspace is a self-contained environment for managing infrastructure.

### Create New Workspace

    # Initialize new workspace
    provisioning workspace init --name production

    # Or use interactive mode
    provisioning workspace init
    # Name: production
    # Description: Production infrastructure
    # Provider: upcloud

What this creates:

The new workspace initialization now generates Nickel configuration files for type-safe, schema-validated infrastructure definitions:

    workspace/
    ├── config/
    │   ├── config.ncl               # Master Nickel configuration (type-safe)
    │   ├── providers/
    │   │   └── upcloud.toml         # Provider-specific settings
    │   ├── platform/                # Platform service configs
    │   └── kms.toml                 # Key management settings
    ├── infra/
    │   └── default/
    │       ├── main.ncl             # Infrastructure entry point
    │       └── servers.ncl          # Server definitions
    ├── docs/                        # Auto-generated guides
    └── workspace.nu                 # Workspace utility scripts

### Workspace Configuration Format

The workspace configuration uses Nickel (type-safe, validated). This provides:

- ✅ Type Safety: Schema validation catches errors at load time
- ✅ Lazy Evaluation: Only computes what’s needed
- ✅ Validation: Record merging, required fields, constraints
- ✅ Documentation: Self-documenting with records

Example Nickel config (`config.ncl`):

    {
      workspace = {
        name = "production",
        version = "1.0.0",
        created = "2025-12-03T14:30:00Z",
      },

      paths = {
        base = "/opt/workspaces/production",
        infra = "/opt/workspaces/production/infra",
        cache = "/opt/workspaces/production/.cache",
      },

      providers = {
        active = ["upcloud"],
        default = "upcloud",
      },
    }

### Verify Workspace

    # Show workspace info
    provisioning workspace info

    # List all workspaces
    provisioning workspace list

    # Show active workspace
    provisioning workspace active
    # Expected: production

### View and Validate Workspace Configuration

Now you can inspect and validate your Nickel workspace configuration:

    # View complete workspace configuration
    provisioning workspace config show

    # Show specific workspace
    provisioning workspace config show production

    # View configuration in different formats
    provisioning workspace config show --format=json
    provisioning workspace config show --format=yaml
    provisioning workspace config show --format=nickel  # Raw Nickel file

    # Validate workspace configuration
    provisioning workspace config validate
    # Output: ✅ Validation complete - all configs are valid

    # Show configuration hierarchy (priority order)
    provisioning workspace config hierarchy

Configuration Validation: The Nickel schema automatically validates:

- ✅ Semantic versioning format (for example, “1.0.0”)
- ✅ Required sections present (workspace, paths, provisioning, etc.)
- ✅ Valid file paths and types
- ✅ Provider configuration exists for active providers
- ✅ KMS and SOPS settings properly configured

## Step 6: Configure Environment

### Set Provider Credentials

UpCloud Provider:

    # Create provider config
    vim workspace/config/providers/upcloud.toml

    [upcloud]
    username = "your-upcloud-username"
    password = "your-upcloud-password"  # Will be encrypted

    # Default settings
    default_zone = "de-fra1"
    default_plan = "2xCPU-4 GB"

AWS Provider:

    # Create AWS config
    vim workspace/config/providers/aws.toml

    [aws]
    region = "us-east-1"
    access_key_id = "AKIAXXXXX"
    secret_access_key = "xxxxx"  # Will be encrypted

    # Default settings
    default_instance_type = "t3.medium"
    default_region = "us-east-1"

### Encrypt Sensitive Data

    # Generate Age key if not done already
    age-keygen -o ~/.age/key.txt

    # Encrypt provider configs
    kms encrypt (open workspace/config/providers/upcloud.toml) --backend age \
        | save workspace/config/providers/upcloud.toml.enc

    # Or use SOPS
    sops --encrypt --age $(cat ~/.age/key.txt | grep "public key:" | cut -d: -f2) \
        workspace/config/providers/upcloud.toml > workspace/config/providers/upcloud.toml.enc

    # Remove plaintext
    rm workspace/config/providers/upcloud.toml

### Configure Local Overrides

    # Edit user-specific settings
    vim workspace/config/local-overrides.toml

    [user]
    name = "admin"
    email = "admin@example.com"

    [preferences]
    editor = "vim"
    output_format = "yaml"
    confirm_delete = true
    confirm_deploy = true

    [http]
    use_curl = true  # Use curl instead of ureq

    [paths]
    ssh_key = "~/.ssh/id_ed25519"

## Step 7: Discover and Load Modules

### Discover Available Modules

    # Discover task services
    provisioning module discover taskserv
    # Shows: kubernetes, containerd, etcd, cilium, helm, etc.

    # Discover providers
    provisioning module discover provider
    # Shows: upcloud, aws, local

    # Discover clusters
    provisioning module discover cluster
    # Shows: buildkit, registry, monitoring, etc.

### Load Modules into Workspace

    # Load Kubernetes taskserv
    provisioning module load taskserv production kubernetes

    # Load multiple modules
    provisioning module load taskserv production kubernetes containerd cilium

    # Load cluster configuration
    provisioning module load cluster production buildkit

    # Verify loaded modules
    provisioning module list taskserv production
    provisioning module list cluster production

## Step 8: Validate Configuration

Before deploying, validate all configuration:

    # Validate workspace configuration
    provisioning workspace validate

    # Validate infrastructure configuration
    provisioning validate config

    # Validate specific infrastructure
    provisioning infra validate --infra production

    # Check environment variables
    provisioning env

    # Show all configuration and environment
    provisioning allenv

Expected output:

    ✓ Configuration valid
    ✓ Provider credentials configured
    ✓ Workspace initialized
    ✓ Modules loaded: 3 taskservs, 1 cluster
    ✓ SSH key configured
    ✓ Age encryption key available

Fix any errors before proceeding to deployment.

## Step 9: Deploy Servers

### Preview Server Creation (Dry Run)

    # Check what would be created (no actual changes)
    provisioning server create --infra production --check

    # With debug output for details
    provisioning server create --infra production --check --debug

Review the output:

- Server names and configurations
- Zones and regions
- CPU, memory, disk specifications
- Estimated costs
- Network settings

### Create Servers

    # Create servers (with confirmation prompt)
    provisioning server create --infra production

    # Or auto-confirm (skip prompt)
    provisioning server create --infra production --yes

    # Wait for completion
    provisioning server create --infra production --wait

Expected output:

    Creating servers for infrastructure: production

      ● Creating server: k8s-master-01 (de-fra1, 4xCPU-8 GB)
      ● Creating server: k8s-worker-01 (de-fra1, 4xCPU-8 GB)
      ● Creating server: k8s-worker-02 (de-fra1, 4xCPU-8 GB)

    ✓ Created 3 servers in 120 seconds

    Servers:
      • k8s-master-01: 192.168.1.10 (Running)
      • k8s-worker-01: 192.168.1.11 (Running)
      • k8s-worker-02: 192.168.1.12 (Running)

### Verify Server Creation

    # List all servers
    provisioning server list --infra production

    # Show detailed server info
    provisioning server list --infra production --out yaml

    # SSH to server (test connectivity)
    provisioning server ssh k8s-master-01
    # Type 'exit' to return

## Step 10: Install Task Services

Task services are infrastructure components like Kubernetes, databases, monitoring, etc.

### Install Kubernetes (Check Mode First)

    # Preview Kubernetes installation
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --infra production --check

    # Shows:
    # - Dependencies required (containerd, etcd)
    # - Configuration to be applied
    # - Resources needed
    # - Estimated installation time

### Install Kubernetes

    # Install Kubernetes (with dependencies)
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --infra production

    # Or install dependencies first
    provisioning taskserv create containerd --infra production
    provisioning taskserv create etcd --infra production
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --infra production

    # Monitor progress
    provisioning workflow monitor <task_id>

Expected output:

    Installing taskserv: kubernetes

      ● Installing containerd on k8s-master-01
      ● Installing containerd on k8s-worker-01
      ● Installing containerd on k8s-worker-02
      ✓ Containerd installed (30s)

      ● Installing etcd on k8s-master-01
      ✓ etcd installed (20s)

      ● Installing Kubernetes control plane on k8s-master-01
      ✓ Kubernetes control plane ready (45s)

      ● Joining worker nodes
      ✓ k8s-worker-01 joined (15s)
      ✓ k8s-worker-02 joined (15s)

    ✓ Kubernetes installation complete (125 seconds)

    Cluster Info:
      • Version: 1.28.0
      • Nodes: 3 (1 control-plane, 2 workers)
      • API Server: https://192.168.1.10:6443

### Install Additional Services

    # Install Cilium (CNI)
    provisioning taskserv create cilium --infra production

    # Install Helm
    provisioning taskserv create helm --infra production

    # Verify all taskservs
    provisioning taskserv list --infra production

## Step 11: Create Clusters

Clusters are complete application stacks (for example, BuildKit, OCI Registry, Monitoring).

### Create BuildKit Cluster (Check Mode)

    # Preview cluster creation
    provisioning cluster create buildkit --infra production --check

    # Shows:
    # - Components to be deployed
    # - Dependencies required
    # - Configuration values
    # - Resource requirements

### Create BuildKit Cluster

    # Create BuildKit cluster
    provisioning cluster create buildkit --infra production

    # Monitor deployment
    provisioning workflow monitor <task_id>

    # Or use plugin for faster monitoring
    orch tasks --status running

Expected output:

    Creating cluster: buildkit

      ● Deploying BuildKit daemon
      ● Deploying BuildKit worker
      ● Configuring BuildKit cache
      ● Setting up BuildKit registry integration

    ✓ BuildKit cluster ready (60 seconds)

    Cluster Info:
      • BuildKit version: 0.12.0
      • Workers: 2
      • Cache: 50 GB
      • Registry: registry.production.local

### Verify Cluster

    # List all clusters
    provisioning cluster list --infra production

    # Show cluster details
    provisioning cluster list --infra production --out yaml

    # Check cluster health
    kubectl get pods -n buildkit

## Step 12: Verify Deployment

### Comprehensive Health Check

    # Check orchestrator status
    orch status
    # or
    provisioning orchestrator status

    # Check all servers
    provisioning server list --infra production

    # Check all taskservs
    provisioning taskserv list --infra production

    # Check all clusters
    provisioning cluster list --infra production

    # Verify Kubernetes cluster
    kubectl get nodes
    kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

### Run Validation Tests

    # Validate infrastructure
    provisioning infra validate --infra production

    # Test connectivity
    provisioning server ssh k8s-master-01 "kubectl get nodes"

    # Test BuildKit
    kubectl exec -it -n buildkit buildkit-0 -- buildctl --version

### Expected Results

All checks should show:

- ✅ Servers: Running
- ✅ Taskservs: Installed and healthy
- ✅ Clusters: Deployed and operational
- ✅ Kubernetes: 3/3 nodes ready
- ✅ BuildKit: 2/2 workers ready

## Step 13: Post-Deployment

### Configure kubectl Access

    # Get kubeconfig from master node
    provisioning server ssh k8s-master-01 "cat ~/.kube/config" > ~/.kube/config-production

    # Set KUBECONFIG
    export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config-production

    # Verify access
    kubectl get nodes
    kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

### Set Up Monitoring (Optional)

    # Deploy monitoring stack
    provisioning cluster create monitoring --infra production

    # Access Grafana
    kubectl port-forward -n monitoring svc/grafana 3000:80
    # Open: http://localhost:3000

### Configure CI/CD Integration (Optional)

    # Generate CI/CD credentials
    provisioning secrets generate aws --ttl 12h

    # Create CI/CD kubeconfig
    kubectl create serviceaccount ci-cd -n default
    kubectl create clusterrolebinding ci-cd --clusterrole=admin --serviceaccount=default:ci-cd

### Backup Configuration

    # Backup workspace configuration
    tar -czf workspace-production-backup.tar.gz workspace/

    # Encrypt backup

- Review changelog and breaking changes
- Create configuration backup
- Test update in staging environment
- Schedule maintenance window
- Notify team/users of maintenance
- Update non-critical services first
- Verify each update before proceeding
- Update critical services with rolling updates
- Backup database before major updates
- Verify all components after update
- Run integration tests
- Monitor for issues (30 minutes minimum)
- Document any issues encountered
- Close maintenance window

## Common Update Scenarios

### Scenario 1: Minor Security Patch

    # Quick security update
    provisioning t check-updates --security-only
    provisioning t update --infra my-production --security-patches --yes

### Scenario 2: Major Version Upgrade

    # Careful major version update
    provisioning ws backup my-production
    provisioning t check-migration <service> --from X.Y --to X+1.Y
    provisioning t create <service> --infra my-production --migrate
    provisioning test all --infra my-production

### Scenario 3: Emergency Hotfix

    # Apply critical hotfix immediately
    provisioning t create <service> --infra my-production --hotfix --yes

## Troubleshooting Updates

### Issue: Update fails mid-process

Solution:

    # Check update status
    provisioning t status <taskserv> --infra my-production

    # Resume failed update
    provisioning t update <taskserv> --infra my-production --resume

    # Or rollback
    provisioning t rollback <taskserv> --infra my-production

### Issue: Service not starting after update

Solution:

    # Check logs
    provisioning logs <taskserv> --infra my-production

    # Verify configuration
    provisioning t validate <taskserv> --infra my-production

    # Rollback if necessary
    provisioning t rollback <taskserv> --infra my-production

### Issue: Data migration fails

Solution:

    # Check migration logs
    provisioning t migration-logs <taskserv> --infra my-production

    # Restore from backup
    provisioning t restore <taskserv> --infra my-production --from <backup-file>

## Best Practices

1. Always Test First: Test updates in staging before production
2. Backup Everything: Create backups before any update
3. Update Gradually: Update one service at a time
4. Monitor Closely: Watch for errors after each update
5. Have Rollback Plan: Always have a rollback strategy
6. Document Changes: Keep update logs for reference
7. Schedule Wisely: Update during low-traffic periods
8. Verify Thoroughly: Run tests after each update

# Customize Infrastructure

Goal: Customize infrastructure using layers, templates, and configuration patterns Time: 20-40 minutes Difficulty: Intermediate to Advanced

## Overview

This guide covers:

1. Understanding the layer system
2. Using templates
3. Creating custom modules
4. Configuration inheritance
5. Advanced customization patterns

## The Layer System

### Understanding Layers

The provisioning system uses a 3-layer architecture for configuration inheritance:

    ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
    │  Infrastructure Layer (Priority 300)│  ← Highest priority
    │  workspace/infra/{name}/            │
    │  • Project-specific configs         │
    │  • Environment customizations       │
    │  • Local overrides                  │
    └─────────────────────────────────────┘
                  ↓ overrides
    ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
    │  Workspace Layer (Priority 200)     │
    │  provisioning/workspace/templates/  │
    │  • Reusable patterns                │
    │  • Organization standards           │
    │  • Team conventions                 │
    └─────────────────────────────────────┘
                  ↓ overrides
    ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
    │  Core Layer (Priority 100)          │  ← Lowest priority
    │  provisioning/extensions/           │
    │  • System defaults                  │
    │  • Provider implementations         │
    │  • Default taskserv configs         │
    └─────────────────────────────────────┘

Resolution Order: Infrastructure (300) → Workspace (200) → Core (100)

Higher numbers override lower numbers.

### View Layer Resolution

## Creating Custom Templates

### Step 1: Create Template Structure

    # Create custom template directory
    mkdir -p provisioning/workspace/templates/my-custom-template

### Step 2: Write Template Configuration

File: `provisioning/workspace/templates/my-custom-template/main.ncl`

    # Custom Kubernetes template with specific settings
    let kubernetes_config = {
      # Version
      version = "1.30.0",

      # Custom feature gates
      feature_gates = {
        "GracefulNodeShutdown" = true,
        "SeccompDefault" = true,
        "StatefulSetAutoDeletePVC" = true,
      },

      # Custom kubelet configuration
      kubelet_config = {
        max_pods = 110,
        pod_pids_limit = 4096,
        container_log_max_size = "10Mi",
        container_log_max_files = 5,
      },

      # Custom API server flags
      apiserver_extra_args = {
        "enable-admission-plugins" = "NodeRestriction,PodSecurity,LimitRanger",
        "audit-log-maxage" = "30",
        "audit-log-maxbackup" = "10",
      },

      # Custom scheduler configuration
      scheduler_config = {
        profiles = [
          {
            name = "high-availability",
            plugins = {
              score = {
                enabled = [
                  {name = "NodeResourcesBalancedAllocation", weight = 2},
                  {name = "NodeResourcesLeastAllocated", weight = 1},
                ],
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },

      # Network configuration
      network = {
        service_cidr = "10.96.0.0/12",
        pod_cidr = "10.244.0.0/16",
        dns_domain = "cluster.local",
      },

      # Security configuration
      security = {
        pod_security_standard = "restricted",
        encrypt_etcd = true,
        rotate_certificates = true,
      },
    } in
    kubernetes_config

### Step 3: Create Template Metadata

File: `provisioning/workspace/templates/my-custom-template/metadata.toml`

    [template]
    name = "my-custom-template"
    version = "1.0.0"
    description = "Custom Kubernetes template with enhanced security"
    category = "taskservs"
    author = "Your Name"

    [requirements]
    min_servers = 2
    min_memory_gb = 4
    required_taskservs = ["containerd", "cilium"]

    [tags]
    environment = ["production", "staging"]
    features = ["security", "monitoring", "high-availability"]

### Step 4: Test Custom Template

    # List templates (should include your custom template)
    provisioning tpl list

    # Show your template
    provisioning tpl show my-custom-template

    # Apply to test infrastructure
    provisioning tpl apply my-custom-template my-test

## Configuration Inheritance Examples

### Example 1: Override Single Value

Core Layer (`provisioning/extensions/taskservs/postgres/main.ncl`):

    let postgres_config = {
      version = "15.5",
      port = 5432,
      max_connections = 100,
    } in
    postgres_config

Infrastructure Layer (`workspace/infra/my-production/taskservs/postgres.ncl`):

    let postgres_config = {
      max_connections = 500,  # Override only max_connections
    } in
    postgres_config

Result (after layer resolution):

    let postgres_config = {
      version = "15.5",          # From Core
      port = 5432,               # From Core
      max_connections = 500,     # From Infrastructure (overridden)
    } in
    postgres_config

### Example 2: Add Custom Configuration

Workspace Layer (`provisioning/workspace/templates/production-postgres.ncl`):

    let postgres_config = {
      replication = {
        enabled = true,
        replicas = 2,
        sync_mode = "async",
      },
    } in
    postgres_config

Infrastructure Layer (`workspace/infra/my-production/taskservs/postgres.ncl`):

    let postgres_config = {
      replication = {
        sync_mode = "sync",  # Override sync mode
      },
      custom_extensions = ["pgvector", "timescaledb"],  # Add custom config
    } in
    postgres_config

Result:

    let postgres_config = {
      version = "15.5",          # From Core
      port = 5432,               # From Core
      max_connections = 100,     # From Core
      replication = {
        enabled = true,          # From Workspace
        replicas = 2,            # From Workspace
        sync_mode = "sync",      # From Infrastructure (overridden)
      },
      custom_extensions = ["pgvector", "timescaledb"],  # From Infrastructure (added)
    } in
    postgres_config

### Example 3: Environment-Specific Configuration

Workspace Layer (`provisioning/workspace/templates/base-kubernetes.ncl`):

    let kubernetes_config = {
      version = "1.30.0",
      control_plane_count = 3,
      worker_count = 5,
      resources = {
        control_plane = {cpu = "4", memory = "8Gi"},
        worker = {cpu = "8", memory = "16Gi"},
      },
    } in
    kubernetes_config

Development Infrastructure (`workspace/infra/my-dev/taskservs/kubernetes.ncl`):

    let kubernetes_config = {
      control_plane_count = 1,  # Smaller for dev
      worker_count = 2,
      resources = {
        control_plane = {cpu = "2", memory = "4Gi"},
        worker = {cpu = "2", memory = "4Gi"},
      },
    } in
    kubernetes_config

Production Infrastructure (`workspace/infra/my-prod/taskservs/kubernetes.ncl`):

    let kubernetes_config = {
      control_plane_count = 5,  # Larger for prod
      worker_count = 10,
      resources = {
        control_plane = {cpu = "8", memory = "16Gi"},
        worker = {cpu = "16", memory = "32Gi"},
      },
    } in
    kubernetes_config

## Advanced Customization Patterns

### Pattern 1: Multi-Environment Setup

Create different configurations for each environment:

    # Create environments
    provisioning ws init my-app-dev
    provisioning ws init my-app-staging
    provisioning ws init my-app-prod

    # Apply environment-specific templates
    provisioning tpl apply development-kubernetes my-app-dev
    provisioning tpl apply staging-kubernetes my-app-staging
    provisioning tpl apply production-kubernetes my-app-prod

    # Customize each environment
    # Edit: workspace/infra/my-app-dev/...
    # Edit: workspace/infra/my-app-staging/...
    # Edit: workspace/infra/my-app-prod/...

### Pattern 2: Shared Configuration Library

Create reusable configuration fragments:

File: `provisioning/workspace/templates/shared/security-policies.ncl`

    let security_policies = {
      pod_security = {
        enforce = "restricted",
        audit = "restricted",
        warn = "restricted",
      },
      network_policies = [
        {
          name = "deny-all",
          pod_selector = {},
          policy_types = ["Ingress", "Egress"],
        },
        {
          name = "allow-dns",
          pod_selector = {},
          egress = [
            {
              to = [{namespace_selector = {name = "kube-system"}}],
              ports = [{protocol = "UDP", port = 53}],
            },
          ],
        },
      ],
    } in
    security_policies

Import in your infrastructure:

    let security_policies = (import "../../../provisioning/workspace/templates/shared/security-policies.ncl") in

    let kubernetes_config = {
      version = "1.30.0",
      image_repo = "k8s.gcr.io",
      security = security_policies,  # Import shared policies
    } in
    kubernetes_config

### Pattern 3: Dynamic Configuration

Use Nickel features for dynamic configuration:

    # Calculate resources based on server count
    let server_count = 5 in
    let replicas_per_server = 2 in
    let total_replicas = server_count * replicas_per_server in

    let postgres_config = {
      version = "16.1",
      max_connections = total_replicas * 50,  # Dynamic calculation
      shared_buffers = "1024 MB",
    } in
    postgres_config

### Pattern 4: Conditional Configuration

    let environment = "production" in  # or "development"

    let kubernetes_config = {
      version = "1.30.0",
      control_plane_count = if environment == "production" then 3 else 1,
      worker_count = if environment == "production" then 5 else 2,
      monitoring = {
        enabled = environment == "production",
        retention = if environment == "production" then "30d" else "7d",
      },
    } in
    kubernetes_config

    # 5. View applied configuration
    provisioning lyr show my-custom-app

    # 6. Customize (edit files)
    provisioning sops workspace/infra/my-custom-app/taskservs/kubernetes.ncl

    # 7. Test layer resolution
    provisioning lyr test kubernetes my-custom-app

    # 8. Validate configuration
    provisioning tpl validate my-custom-app
    provisioning val config --infra my-custom-app

    # 9. Deploy customized infrastructure
    provisioning s create --infra my-custom-app --check
    provisioning s create --infra my-custom-app
    provisioning t create kubernetes --infra my-custom-app

## Best Practices

### 1. Use Layers Correctly

- Core Layer: Only modify for system-wide changes
- Workspace Layer: Use for organization-wide templates
- Infrastructure Layer: Use for project-specific customizations

### 2. Template Organization

    provisioning/workspace/templates/
    ├── shared/           # Shared configuration fragments
    │   ├── security-policies.ncl
    │   ├── network-policies.ncl
    │   └── monitoring.ncl
    ├── production/       # Production templates
    │   ├── kubernetes.ncl
    │   ├── postgres.ncl
    │   └── redis.ncl
    └── development/      # Development templates
        ├── kubernetes.ncl
        └── postgres.ncl

### 3. Documentation

Document your customizations:

File: `workspace/infra/my-production/README.md`

    # My Production Infrastructure

    ## Customizations

    - Kubernetes: Using production template with 5 control plane nodes
    - PostgreSQL: Configured with streaming replication
    - Cilium: Native routing mode enabled

    ## Layer Overrides

    - `taskservs/kubernetes.ncl`: Control plane count (3 → 5)
    - `taskservs/postgres.ncl`: Replication mode (async → sync)
    - `network/cilium.ncl`: Routing mode (tunnel → native)

### 4. Version Control

Keep templates and configurations in version control:

    cd provisioning/workspace/templates/
    git add .
    git commit -m "Add production Kubernetes template with enhanced security"

    cd workspace/infra/my-production/
    git add .
    git commit -m "Configure production environment for my-production"

## Troubleshooting Customizations

### Issue: Configuration not applied

    # Check layer resolution
    provisioning lyr show my-production

    # Verify file exists
    ls -la workspace/infra/my-production/taskservs/

    # Test specific resolution
    provisioning lyr test kubernetes my-production

### Issue: Conflicting configurations

    # Validate configuration
    provisioning val config --infra my-production

    # Show configuration merge result
    provisioning show config kubernetes --infra my-production

### Issue: Template not found

    # List available templates
    provisioning tpl list

    # Check template path
    ls -la provisioning/workspace/templates/

    # Refresh template cache
    provisioning tpl refresh

# Infrastructure Setup Quick Reference

Complete guide to provisioning infrastructure with Nickel + ConfigLoader + TypeDialog

## Quick Start

### 1. Generate Infrastructure Configs (Solo Mode)

    cd project-provisioning

    # Generate solo deployment (Docker Compose, Nginx, Prometheus, OCI Registry)
    nickel export --format json provisioning/schemas/infrastructure/examples-solo-deployment.ncl > /tmp/solo-infra.json

    # Verify JSON structure
    jq . /tmp/solo-infra.json

### 2. Validate Generated Configs

    # Solo deployment validation
    bash provisioning/platform/scripts/validate-infrastructure.nu --config-dir provisioning/platform/infrastructure

    # Output shows validation status for Docker, K8s, Nginx, Prometheus

### 3. Compare Solo vs Enterprise

    # Export both examples
    nickel export --format json provisioning/schemas/infrastructure/examples-solo-deployment.ncl > /tmp/solo.json
    nickel export --format json provisioning/schemas/infrastructure/examples-enterprise-deployment.ncl > /tmp/enterprise.json

    # Compare orchestrator resources
    echo "=== Solo Resources ===" && jq '.docker_compose_services.orchestrator.deploy.resources.limits' /tmp/solo.json
    echo "=== Enterprise Resources ===" && jq '.docker_compose_services.orchestrator.deploy.resources.limits' /tmp/enterprise.json

    # Compare prometheus monitoring
    echo "=== Solo Prometheus Jobs ===" && jq '.prometheus_config.scrape_configs | length' /tmp/solo.json
    echo "=== Enterprise Prometheus Jobs ===" && jq '.prometheus_config.scrape_configs | length' /tmp/enterprise.json

--- | --- | ---
`generate-infrastructure-configs.nu` | Generate all configs | `--mode solo --format yaml`
`validate-infrastructure.nu` | Validate configs | `--config-dir /path`
`setup-with-forms.sh` | Interactive setup | Auto-detects TypeDialog

## Workflow: Platform Config + Infrastructure Config

### Two-Tier Configuration System

Platform Config Layer (Service-Internal):

    Orchestrator port, database host, logging level
        ↓
    ConfigLoader (Rust)
        ↓
    Service reads TOML from runtime/generated/

Infrastructure Config Layer (Deployment-External):

    Docker Compose services, Nginx routing, Prometheus scrape jobs
        ↓
    nickel export → YAML/JSON
        ↓
    Docker/Kubernetes/Nginx deploys infrastructure

### Complete Deployment Workflow

    1. Choose platform config mode
       provisioning/platform/config/examples/orchestrator.solo.example.ncl
                                            ↓
    2. Generate platform config TOML
       nickel export --format toml → runtime/generated/orchestrator.solo.toml
                                            ↓
    3. Choose infrastructure mode
       provisioning/schemas/infrastructure/examples-solo-deployment.ncl
                                            ↓
    4. Generate infrastructure JSON/YAML
       nickel export --format json → docker-compose-solo.json
                                            ↓
    5. Deploy infrastructure
       docker-compose -f docker-compose-solo.yaml up
                                            ↓
    6. Services start with configs
       ConfigLoader reads platform config TOML
       Docker/Nginx read infrastructure configs

# Extension Development Quick Start Guide

This guide provides a hands-on walkthrough for developing custom extensions using the Nickel configuration system and module loader.

## Prerequisites

1. Nickel installed (1.15.0+):

       # macOS
       brew install nickel

       # Linux/Other
       cargo install nickel

       # Verify
       nickel --version

2. Module loader and extension tools available:

       ./provisioning/core/cli/module-loader --help
       ./provisioning/tools/create-extension.nu --help

## Quick Start: Creating Your First Extension

### Step 1: Create Extension from Template

    # Interactive creation (recommended for beginners)
    ./provisioning/tools/create-extension.nu interactive

    # Or direct creation
    ./provisioning/tools/create-extension.nu taskserv my-app \
        --author "Your Name" \
        --description "My custom application service"

### Step 2: Navigate and Customize

    # Navigate to your new extension
    cd extensions/taskservs/my-app

    # View generated files
    ls -la
    # main.ncl - Main taskserv definition
    # contracts.ncl - Configuration contract/schema
    # defaults.ncl - Default values
    # README.md - Documentation template

### Step 3: Customize Configuration

Edit `main.ncl` to match your service requirements:

    # contracts.ncl - Define the schema
    {
      MyAppConfig = {
        database_url | String,
        api_key | String,
        debug_mode | Bool,
        cpu_request | String,
        memory_request | String,
        port | Number,
      }
    }

    # defaults.ncl - Provide sensible defaults
    {
      defaults = {
        debug_mode = false,
        cpu_request = "200m",
        memory_request = "512Mi",
        port = 3000,
      }
    }

    # main.ncl - Combine and export
    let contracts = import "./contracts.ncl" in
    let defaults = import "./defaults.ncl" in

    {
      defaults = defaults,
      make_config | not_exported = fun overrides =>
        defaults.defaults & overrides,
    }

### Step 4: Test Your Extension

    # Test discovery
    ./provisioning/core/cli/module-loader discover taskservs | grep my-app

    # Validate Nickel syntax
    nickel typecheck main.ncl

    # Validate extension structure
    ./provisioning/tools/create-extension.nu validate ../../../my-app

### Step 5: Use in Workspace

    # Create test workspace
    mkdir -p /tmp/test-my-app
    cd /tmp/test-my-app

    # Initialize workspace
    ../provisioning/tools/workspace-init.nu . init

    # Load your extension
    ../provisioning/core/cli/module-loader load taskservs . [my-app]

    # Configure in servers.ncl
    cat > infra/default/servers.ncl << 'EOF'
    let my_app = import "../../extensions/taskservs/my-app/main.ncl" in

    {
      servers = [
        {
          hostname = "app-01",
          provider = "local",
          plan = "2xCPU-4 GB",
          zone = "local",
          storages = [{ total = 25 }],
          taskservs = [
            my_app.make_config {
              database_url = "postgresql://db:5432/myapp",
              api_key = "secret-key",
              debug_mode = false,
            }
          ],
        }
      ]
    }
    EOF

    # Test configuration
    nickel export infra/default/servers.ncl

## Common Extension Patterns

### Database Service Extension

    # Create database service
    ./provisioning/tools/create-extension.nu taskserv company-db \
        --author "Your Company" \
        --description "Company-specific database service"

    # Customize for PostgreSQL with company settings
    cd extensions/taskservs/company-db

Edit the schema:

    # Database service configuration schema
    let CompanyDbConfig = {
      # Database settings
      database_name | String = "company_db",
      postgres_version | String = "13",

      # Company-specific settings
      backup_schedule | String = "0 2 * * *",
      compliance_mode | Bool = true,
      encryption_enabled | Bool = true,

      # Connection settings
      max_connections | Number = 100,
      shared_buffers | String = "256 MB",

      # Storage settings
      storage_size | String = "100Gi",
      storage_class | String = "fast-ssd",
    } | {
      # Validation contracts
      database_name | String,
      max_connections | std.contract.from_validator (fun x => x > 0),
    } in
    CompanyDbConfig

### Monitoring Service Extension

    # Create monitoring service
    ./provisioning/tools/create-extension.nu taskserv company-monitoring \
        --author "Your Company" \
        --description "Company-specific monitoring and alerting"

Customize for Prometheus with company dashboards:

    # Monitoring service configuration
    let AlertManagerConfig = {
      smtp_server | String,
      smtp_port | Number = 587,
      smtp_auth_enabled | Bool = true,
    } in

    let CompanyMonitoringConfig = {
      # Prometheus settings
      retention_days | Number = 30,
      storage_size | String = "50Gi",

      # Company dashboards
      enable_business_metrics | Bool = true,
      enable_compliance_dashboard | Bool = true,

      # Alert routing
      alert_manager_config | AlertManagerConfig,

      # Integration settings
      slack_webhook | String | optional,
      email_notifications | Array String,
    } in
    CompanyMonitoringConfig

### Legacy System Integration

    # Create legacy integration
    ./provisioning/tools/create-extension.nu taskserv legacy-bridge \
        --author "Your Company" \
        --description "Bridge for legacy system integration"

Customize for mainframe integration:

    # Legacy bridge configuration schema
    let LegacyBridgeConfig = {
      # Legacy system details
      mainframe_host | String,
      mainframe_port | Number = 23,
      connection_type | [String] = "tn3270",  # "tn3270" or "direct"

      # Data transformation
      data_format | [String] = "fixed-width",  # "fixed-width", "csv", or "xml"
      character_encoding | String = "ebcdic",

      # Processing settings
      batch_size | Number = 1000,
      poll_interval_seconds | Number = 60,

      # Error handling
      retry_attempts | Number = 3,
      dead_letter_queue_enabled | Bool = true,
    } in
    LegacyBridgeConfig

## Advanced Customization

### Custom Provider Development

    # Create custom cloud provider
    ./provisioning/tools/create-extension.nu provider company-cloud \
        --author "Your Company" \
        --description "Company private cloud provider"

### Complete Infrastructure Stack

    # Create complete cluster configuration
    ./provisioning/tools/create-extension.nu cluster company-stack \
        --author "Your Company" \
        --description "Complete company infrastructure stack"

## Testing and Validation

### Local Testing Workflow

    # 1. Create test workspace
    mkdir test-workspace && cd test-workspace
    ../provisioning/tools/workspace-init.nu . init

    # 2. Load your extensions
    ../provisioning/core/cli/module-loader load taskservs . [my-app, company-db]
    ../provisioning/core/cli/module-loader load providers . [company-cloud]

    # 3. Validate loading
    ../provisioning/core/cli/module-loader list taskservs .
    ../provisioning/core/cli/module-loader validate .

    # 4. Test KCL compilation
    nickel export servers.ncl

    # 5. Dry-run deployment
    ../provisioning/core/cli/provisioning server create --infra . --check

### Continuous Integration Testing

## Common Issues and Solutions

### Extension Not Discovered

Problem: `module-loader discover` doesn’t find your extension

Solutions:

1. Check directory structure: `extensions/taskservs/my-service/schemas/`
2. Verify `manifest.toml` exists and is valid
3. Ensure main `.ncl` file has correct name
4. Check file permissions

### Nickel Type Errors

Problem: Nickel type checking errors in your extension

Solutions:

1. Use `nickel typecheck my-service.ncl` to validate syntax
2. Check import statements are correct
3. Verify schema validation rules
4. Ensure all required fields have defaults or are provided

### Loading Failures

Problem: Extension loads but doesn’t work correctly

Solutions:

1. Check generated import files: `cat taskservs.ncl`
2. Verify dependencies are satisfied
3. Test with minimal configuration first
4. Check extension manifest: `cat .manifest/taskservs.yaml`

## Next Steps

1. Explore Examples: Look at existing extensions in `extensions/` directory
2. Read Advanced Docs: Study the comprehensive guides:
   - Nickel Packaging Guide
   - Infrastructure-Specific Extensions
3. Join Community: Contribute to the provisioning system
4. Share Extensions: Publish useful extensions for others

## Support

- Documentation: Package and Loader System Guide
- Templates: Use `./provisioning/tools/create-extension.nu list-templates`

# Workspace Generation - Quick Reference

Updated for Nickel-based workspaces with auto-generated documentation

## Quick Start: Create a Workspace

    # Interactive mode (recommended)
    provisioning workspace init

    # Non-interactive mode with explicit path
    provisioning workspace init my_workspace /path/to/my_workspace

    # With activation
    provisioning workspace init my_workspace /path/to/my_workspace --activate

## What Gets Created Automatically

When you run `provisioning workspace init`, the system creates:

# Multi-Provider Deployment Guide

This guide covers strategies and patterns for deploying infrastructure across multiple cloud providers using the provisioning system. Multi-provider deployments enable high availability, disaster recovery, cost optimization, compliance with regional requirements, and vendor lock-in avoidance.

## Table of Contents

- Why Multiple Providers
- Provider Selection Strategy
- Workspace Configuration
- Architecture Patterns
  - Pattern 1: Compute + Storage Split
  - Pattern 2: Primary + Backup
  - Pattern 3: Multi-Region High Availability
  - Pattern 4: Hybrid Cloud

## Overview

The provisioning system provides a provider-agnostic abstraction layer that enables seamless deployment across Hetzner, UpCloud, AWS, and DigitalOcean. Each provider implements a standard interface with compute, storage, networking, and management capabilities.

### Supported Providers

Provider | Compute | Storage | Load Balancer | Managed Services | Network Isolation
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Hetzner | Cloud Servers | Volumes | Load Balancer | No | vSwitch/Private Networks
UpCloud | Servers | Storage | Load Balancer | No | VLAN
AWS | EC2 | EBS/S3 | ALB/NLB | RDS, ElastiCache, etc | VPC/Security Groups
DigitalOcean | Droplets | Volumes | Load Balancer | Managed DB | VPC/Firewall

### Key Concepts

- Provider Abstraction: Consistent interface across all providers hides provider-specific details
- Workspace: Defines infrastructure components, resource allocation, and provider configuration
- Multi-Provider Workspace: A single workspace that spans multiple providers with coordinated deployment
- Batch Workflows: Orchestrate deployment across providers with dependency tracking and rollback capability

## Why Multiple Providers

### Cost Optimization

Different providers excel at different workloads:

- Compute-Heavy: Hetzner offers best price/performance ratio for compute-intensive workloads
- Managed Services: AWS RDS or DigitalOcean Managed Databases often more cost-effective than self-managed
- Storage-Intensive: AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage for large object storage requirements
- Edge Locations: DigitalOcean’s CDN and global regions for geographically distributed serving

Example: Store application data in Hetzner compute nodes (cost-effective), analytics database in AWS RDS (managed), and backups in DigitalOcean Spaces (affordable object storage).

### High Availability and Disaster Recovery

- Active-Active: Run identical infrastructure in multiple providers for load balancing
- Active-Standby: Primary on Provider A, warm standby on Provider B with automated failover
- Multi-Region: Distribute across geographic regions within and between providers
- Time-to-Recovery: Multiple providers reduce dependency on single provider’s infrastructure

### Compliance and Data Residency

- GDPR: European data must stay in EU providers (Hetzner DE, UpCloud FI/SE)
- Regional Requirements: Some compliance frameworks require data in specific countries
- Provider Certifications: Different providers have different compliance certifications (SOC2, ISO 27001, HIPAA)

Example: Production data in Hetzner (EU-based), analytics in AWS (GDPR-compliant regions), backups in DigitalOcean.

### Vendor Lock-in Avoidance

- Portability: Multi-provider setup enables migration without complete outage
- Flexibility: Switch providers for cost negotiation or service issues
- Resilience: Not dependent on single provider’s reliability or pricing changes

### Performance and Latency

- Geographic Distribution: Serve users from nearest provider
- Provider-Specific Performance: Some providers have better infrastructure for specific regions
- Regional Redundancy: Maintain service availability during provider-wide outages

## Provider Selection Strategy

### Decision Framework

#### 1. Workload Characteristics

Compute-Intensive (batch processing, ML, heavy calculations)

- Recommended: Hetzner (best price), UpCloud (mid-range)
- Avoid: AWS on-demand (unless spot instances), DigitalOcean premium tier

Web/Application (stateless serving, APIs)

- Recommended: DigitalOcean (simple management), Hetzner (cost), AWS (multi-region)
- Consider: Geographic proximity to users

Stateful/Database (databases, caches, queues)

- Recommended: AWS RDS/ElastiCache, DigitalOcean Managed DB
- Alternative: Self-managed on any provider with replication

Storage/File Serving (object storage, backups)

- Recommended: AWS S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, Hetzner Object Storage
- Consider: Cost per GB, access patterns, bandwidth

### Regional Availability

North America

- AWS: Multiple regions (us-east-1, us-west-2, etc)
- DigitalOcean: NYC, SFO
- Hetzner: Ashburn, Virginia
- UpCloud: Multiple US locations

Europe

- Hetzner: Falkenstein (DE), Nuremberg (DE), Helsinki (FI)
- UpCloud: Multiple EU locations
- AWS: eu-west-1 (IE), eu-central-1 (DE), etc
- DigitalOcean: London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam

Asia

- AWS: ap-southeast-1 (SG), ap-northeast-1 (Tokyo)
- DigitalOcean: Singapore, Bangalore
- Hetzner: Limited
- UpCloud: Singapore

Recommendation for Multi-Region: Combine Hetzner (EU backbone), DigitalOcean (global presence), AWS (comprehensive regions).

### Cost Analysis

#### Monthly Compute Comparison (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM)

Provider | Price | Notes
--- | --- | ---
Hetzner | €6.90 (~$7.50) | Cheapest, good performance
DigitalOcean | $24 | Premium pricing, simplicity
UpCloud | $30 | Mid-range, good support
AWS t3.medium | $60+ | On-demand pricing (spot: $18-25)

#### Recommendations by Budget

Minimal Budget (<$50/month)

- Single Hetzner server: €6.90
- Alternative: DigitalOcean $24 + DigitalOcean Spaces for backup

Small Team ($100-500/month)

- Hetzner primary (€50-150), DigitalOcean backup (60-80)
- Good HA coverage with cost control

Enterprise ($1000+/month)

- AWS primary (managed services, compliance)
- Hetzner backup (cost-effective)
- DigitalOcean edge locations (CDN)

### Compliance and Certifications

Provider | GDPR | SOC 2 | ISO 27001 | HIPAA | FIPS | PCI-DSS
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Hetzner | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✓
UpCloud | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✓
AWS | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓
DigitalOcean | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓

Compliance Selection Matrix

- GDPR Only: Hetzner, UpCloud (EU-based), all AWS/DO EU regions
- HIPAA Required: AWS, DigitalOcean (DigitalOcean requires BAA)
- FIPS Required: AWS (all regions)
- PCI-DSS: All providers support, AWS most comprehensive

### Multi-Provider Workspace Definition

Nickel workspace with multiple providers:

    # workspace.ncl - Multi-provider infrastructure definition

    let hetzner = import "../../extensions/providers/hetzner/nickel/main.ncl" in
    let upcloud = import "../../extensions/providers/upcloud/nickel/main.ncl" in
    let aws = import "../../extensions/providers/aws/nickel/main.ncl" in
    let digitalocean = import "../../extensions/providers/digitalocean/nickel/main.ncl" in

    {
      workspace_name = "multi-provider-app",
      description = "Multi-provider infrastructure example",

      # Provider routing configuration
      providers = {
        primary_compute = "hetzner",
        secondary_compute = "digitalocean",
        database = "aws",
        backup = "upcloud"
      },

      # Infrastructure defined per provider
      infrastructure = {
        # Hetzner: Primary compute tier
        primary_servers = hetzner.Server & {
          name = "primary-server",
          server_type = "cx31",
          image = "ubuntu-22.04",
          location = "nbg1",
          count = 3,
          ssh_keys = ["your-ssh-key"],
          firewalls = ["primary-fw"]
        },

        # DigitalOcean: Secondary compute tier
        secondary_servers = digitalocean.Droplet & {
          name = "secondary-droplet",
          size = "s-2vcpu-4gb",
          image = "ubuntu-22-04-x64",
          region = "nyc3",
          count = 2
        },

        # AWS: Managed database
        database = aws.RDS & {
          identifier = "prod-db",
          engine = "postgresql",
          engine_version = "14.6",
          instance_class = "db.t3.medium",
          allocated_storage = 100
        },

        # UpCloud: Backup storage
        backup_storage = upcloud.Storage & {
          name = "backup-volume",
          size = 500,
          location = "fi-hel1"
        }
      }
    }

## Architecture Patterns

### Pattern 1: Compute + Storage Split

Scenario: Cost-effective compute with specialized managed storage.

Example: Use Hetzner for compute (cheap), AWS S3 for object storage (reliable), managed database on AWS RDS.

#### Benefits

- Compute optimization (Hetzner’s low cost)
- Storage specialization (AWS S3 reliability and features)
- Separation of concerns (different performance tuning)

#### Architecture

#### Nickel Configuration

    let hetzner = import "../../extensions/providers/hetzner/nickel/main.ncl" in
    let aws = import "../../extensions/providers/aws/nickel/main.ncl" in

    {
      compute = hetzner.Server & {
        name = "app-server",
        server_type = "cpx21",  # 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM
        image = "ubuntu-22.04",
        location = "nbg1",
        count = 2,
        volumes = [
          {
            size = 100,
            format = "ext4",
            mount = "/app"
          }
        ]
      },

      database = aws.RDS & {
        identifier = "app-database",
        engine = "postgresql",
        instance_class = "db.t3.medium",
        allocated_storage = 100
      },

      backup_bucket = aws.S3 & {
        bucket = "app-backups",
        region = "us-east-1",
        versioning = true,
        lifecycle_rules = [
          {
            id = "delete-old-backups",
            days = 90,
            action = "delete"
          }
        ]
      }
    }

#### Network Configuration

Hetzner servers connect to AWS RDS via VPN or public endpoint:

    # Network setup script
    def setup_database_connection [] {
      let hetzner_servers = (hetzner_list_servers)
      let db_endpoint = (aws_get_rds_endpoint "app-database")

      # Install PostgreSQL client
      $hetzner_servers | each {|server|
        ssh $server.ip "apt-get install -y postgresql-client"
        ssh $server.ip $"echo 'DB_HOST=($db_endpoint)' >> /app/.env"
      }
    }

#### Cost Analysis

Monthly estimate:

- Hetzner cx31 × 2: €13.80 (~$15)
- AWS RDS t3.medium: $60
- AWS S3 (100 GB): $2.30
- Total: ~$77/month (vs $120+ for all-AWS)

### Pattern 2: Primary + Backup

Scenario: Active-standby deployment for disaster recovery.

Example: DigitalOcean primary datacenter, Hetzner warm standby with automated failover.

#### Benefits

- Disaster recovery capability
- Zero data loss (with replication)
- Tested failover procedure
- Cost-effective backup (warm standby vs hot standby)

#### Architecture

### Pattern 3: Multi-Region High Availability

Scenario: Distributed deployment across 3+ geographic regions with global load balancing.

Example: DigitalOcean US (NYC), Hetzner EU (Germany), AWS Asia (Singapore) with DNS-based failover.

#### Benefits

- Geographic distribution for low latency
- Protection against regional outages
- Compliance with data residency (data stays in region)
- Load distribution across regions

### Example 2: Multi-Region Disaster Recovery

Scenario: Active-standby DR setup with DigitalOcean primary and Hetzner backup.

Architecture:

- DigitalOcean NYC: Production environment (active)
- Hetzner Germany: Warm standby (scales down until needed)
- Async database replication
- DNS-based failover
- RPO: 5 minutes, RTO: 15 minutes

### Example 3: Cost-Optimized Deployment

Scenario: Optimize across provider strengths: Hetzner compute, AWS managed services, DigitalOcean CDN.

Architecture:

- Hetzner: 5 application servers (best compute price)
- AWS: RDS database, ElastiCache (managed services)
- DigitalOcean: Spaces for backups, CDN endpoints

## Best Practices

### 1. Provider Selection

- Document provider choices: Keep record of which workloads run where and why
- Audit provider capabilities: Ensure chosen provider supports required features
- Monitor provider health: Track outages and issues per provider
- Cost tracking per provider: Understand where money is spent

### 2. Network Security

- Encrypt inter-provider traffic: Use VPN, mTLS, or encrypted tunnels
- Implement firewall rules: Limit traffic between providers to necessary ports
- Use security groups: AWS-style security groups where available
- Monitor network traffic: Detect unusual patterns across providers

### 3. Data Consistency

- Choose replication strategy: Synchronous (consistency), asynchronous (performance)
- Implement conflict resolution: Define how conflicts are resolved
- Monitor replication lag: Alert on excessive lag
- Test failover regularly: Verify data integrity during failover

### 4. Disaster Recovery

- Define RPO/RTO targets: Recovery Point Objective and Recovery Time Objective
- Document failover procedures: Step-by-step instructions
- Test failover regularly: At least quarterly, ideally monthly
- Maintain DR site readiness: Cold, warm, or hot standby based on RTO

### 5. Compliance and Governance

- Data residency: Ensure data stays in required regions
- Encryption at rest: Use provider-native encryption
- Encryption in transit: TLS/mTLS for all inter-provider communication
- Audit logging: Enable audit logs in all providers
- Access control: Implement least privilege across all providers

### 6. Monitoring and Alerting

- Unified monitoring: Aggregate metrics from all providers
- Cross-provider dashboards: Visualize health across providers
- Provider-specific alerts: Configure alerts per provider
- Escalation procedures: Clear escalation for failures

### 7. Cost Management

- Set budget alerts: Per provider and total
- Reserved instances: Use provider discounts
- Spot instances: AWS spot for non-critical workloads
- Auto-scaling policies: Scale based on demand
- Regular cost reviews: Monthly cost analysis and optimization

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Network Connectivity Between Providers

Symptoms: Droplets can’t reach AWS database, high latency between regions

Diagnosis:

    # Check network connectivity
    def diagnose_network_issue [source_ip, dest_ip] {
      print "Diagnosing network connectivity..."

      # 1. Check routing
      ssh $source_ip "ip route show"

      # 2. Check firewall rules
      check_security_groups $source_ip $dest_ip

      # 3. Test connectivity
      ssh $source_ip "ping -c 3 $dest_ip"
      ssh $source_ip "traceroute $dest_ip"

      # 4. Check DNS resolution
      ssh $source_ip "nslookup $dest_ip"
    }

Solutions:

- Verify firewall rules allow traffic on required ports
- Check VPN tunnel status if using site-to-site VPN
- Verify DNS resolution in both providers
- Check MTU size for jumbo frames (1500 bytes)
- Enable debug logging on network components

### Issue: Database Replication Lag

Symptoms: Secondary database lagging behind primary

Diagnosis:

    def check_replication_lag [] {
      # AWS RDS
      aws rds describe-db-instances --query 'DBInstances[].{ID:DBInstanceIdentifier,Lag:ReplicationLag}'

      # DigitalOcean
      doctl databases backups list --format Name,Created
    }

Solutions:

- Check network bandwidth between providers
- Review write throughput on primary
- Monitor CPU/IO on secondary
- Adjust replication thread pool size
- Check for long-running queries blocking replication

### Issue: Failover Not Working

Symptoms: Failover script fails, DNS not updating

Diagnosis:

    def test_failover_chain [] {
      # 1. Verify backup infrastructure is ready
      verify_backup_infrastructure

      # 2. Test DNS failover
      test_dns_failover

      # 3. Verify database promotion
      test_db_promotion

      # 4. Check application configuration
      verify_app_failover_config
    }

Solutions:

- Ensure backup infrastructure is powered on and running
- Verify DNS TTL is appropriate (typically 60 seconds)
- Test failover in staging environment first
- Check VPN connectivity to backup provider
- Verify database promotion scripts
- Ensure application connection strings support both endpoints

### Issue: Cost Spike Across Providers

Symptoms: Monthly bill unexpectedly high

Diagnosis:

    def analyze_cost_spike [] {
      print "Analyzing cost spike..."

      # Compare current vs previous month
      let current = (get_current_month_costs)
      let previous = (get_previous_month_costs)
      let delta = ($current - $previous)

      # Break down by provider
      $current | group-by provider | each {|group|
        let provider = ($group.0.provider)
        let cost = ($group | map {|x| $x.cost} | math sum)
        print $"($provider): $($cost)"
      }

      # Identify largest increases
      ($delta | sort-by cost_change | reverse | first 5)
    }

Solutions:

- Review auto-scaling activities
- Check for unintended resource creation
- Verify reserved instances are being used
- Review data transfer costs (cross-region expensive)
- Cancel idle resources
- Contact provider support if billing seems incorrect

## Conclusion

Multi-provider deployments provide significant benefits in cost optimization, reliability, and compliance. Start with a simple pattern (Compute + Storage Split) and evolve to more complex patterns as needs grow. Always test failover procedures and maintain clear documentation of provider responsibilities and network configurations.

## VPN Tunnel Setup

### IPSec VPN Between Providers

Use Case: Secure communication between DigitalOcean and AWS

#### Step 1: AWS Site-to-Site VPN Setup

    # Create Virtual Private Gateway (VGW)
    aws ec2 create-vpn-gateway \
      --type ipsec.1 \
      --amazon-side-asn 64512 \
      --tag-specifications "ResourceType=vpn-gateway,Tags=[{Key=Name,Value=app-vpn-gw}]"

    # Get VGW ID
    VGW_ID="vgw-12345678"

    # Attach to VPC
    aws ec2 attach-vpn-gateway \
      --vpn-gateway-id $VGW_ID \
      --vpc-id vpc-12345

    # Create Customer Gateway (DigitalOcean endpoint)
    aws ec2 create-customer-gateway \
      --type ipsec.1 \
      --public-ip 203.0.113.12 \
      --bgp-asn 65000

    # Get CGW ID
    CGW_ID="cgw-12345678"

    # Create VPN Connection
    aws ec2 create-vpn-connection \
      --type ipsec.1 \
      --customer-gateway-id $CGW_ID \
      --vpn-gateway-id $VGW_ID \
      --options "StaticRoutesOnly=true"

    # Get VPN Connection ID
    VPN_CONN_ID="vpn-12345678"

    # Enable static routing
    aws ec2 enable-vpn-route-propagation \
      --route-table-id rtb-12345 \
      --vpn-connection-id $VPN_CONN_ID

    # Create static route for DigitalOcean network
    aws ec2 create-route \
      --route-table-id rtb-12345 \
      --destination-cidr-block 10.0.0.0/16 \
      --gateway-id $VGW_ID

#### Step 2: DigitalOcean Endpoint Configuration

Download VPN configuration from AWS:

    # Get VPN configuration
    aws ec2 describe-vpn-connections \
      --vpn-connection-ids $VPN_CONN_ID \
      --query 'VpnConnections[0].CustomerGatewayConfiguration' \
      --output text > vpn-config.xml

Configure IPSec on DigitalOcean server (acting as VPN gateway):

    # Install StrongSwan
    ssh root@do-server
    apt-get update
    apt-get install -y strongswan strongswan-swanctl

    # Create ipsec configuration
    cat > /etc/swanctl/conf.d/aws-vpn.conf <<'EOF'
    connections {
      aws-vpn {
        remote_addrs = 203.0.113.1, 203.0.113.2  # AWS endpoints
        local_addrs = 203.0.113.12               # DigitalOcean endpoint

        local {
          auth = psk
          id = 203.0.113.12
        }

        remote {
          auth = psk
          id = 203.0.113.1
        }

        children {
          aws-vpn {
            local_ts = 10.0.0.0/16                # DO network
            remote_ts = 10.1.0.0/16               # AWS VPC

            esp_proposals = aes256-sha256
            rekey_time = 3600s
            rand_time = 540s
          }
        }

        proposals = aes256-sha256-modp2048
        rekey_time = 28800s
        rand_time = 540s
      }
    }

    secrets {
      ike-aws {
        secret = "SharedPreSharedKeyFromAWS123456789"
      }
    }
    EOF

    # Enable IP forwarding
    sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
    echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

    # Start StrongSwan
    systemctl restart strongswan-swanctl

    # Verify connection
    swanctl --stats

#### Step 3: Add Route on DigitalOcean

    # Add route to AWS VPC through VPN
    ssh root@do-server

    ip route add 10.1.0.0/16 via 10.0.0.1 dev eth0
    echo "10.1.0.0/16 via 10.0.0.1 dev eth0" >> /etc/network/interfaces

    # Enable forwarding on firewall
    ufw allow from 10.1.0.0/16 to 10.0.0.0/16

### Wireguard VPN (Alternative, Simpler)

Advantages: Simpler, faster, modern

#### Create Wireguard Keypairs

    # On DO server
    ssh root@do-server
    apt-get install -y wireguard wireguard-tools

    # Generate keypairs
    wg genkey | tee /etc/wireguard/do_private.key | wg pubkey > /etc/wireguard/do_public.key

    # On AWS server
    ssh ubuntu@aws-server
    sudo apt-get install -y wireguard wireguard-tools

    sudo wg genkey | sudo tee /etc/wireguard/aws_private.key | wg pubkey > /etc/wireguard/aws_public.key

#### Configure Wireguard on DigitalOcean

    # /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
    cat > /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf <<'EOF'
    [Interface]
    PrivateKey = <contents-of-do_private.key>
    Address = 10.10.0.1/24
    ListenPort = 51820

    [Peer]
    PublicKey = <contents-of-aws_public.key>
    AllowedIPs = 10.10.0.2/32, 10.1.0.0/16
    Endpoint = aws-server-public-ip:51820
    PersistentKeepalive = 25
    EOF

    chmod 600 /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

    # Enable interface
    wg-quick up wg0

    # Enable at boot
    systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0

#### Configure Wireguard on AWS

    # /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
    cat > /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf <<'EOF'
    [Interface]
    PrivateKey = <contents-of-aws_private.key>
    Address = 10.10.0.2/24
    ListenPort = 51820

    [Peer]
    PublicKey = <contents-of-do_public.key>
    AllowedIPs = 10.10.0.1/32, 10.0.0.0/16
    Endpoint = do-server-public-ip:51820
    PersistentKeepalive = 25
    EOF

    chmod 600 /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

    # Enable interface
    sudo wg-quick up wg0
    sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0

#### Test Connectivity

    # From DO server
    ssh root@do-server
    ping 10.10.0.2

    # From AWS server
    ssh ubuntu@aws-server
    sudo ping 10.10.0.1

    # Test actual services
    curl -I http://10.1.1.10:5432  # Test AWS RDS from DO

## Multi-Provider Routing

### Define Cross-Provider Routes (Nickel)

    {
      # Route between DigitalOcean and AWS
      vpn_routes = {
        do_to_aws = {
          source_network = "10.0.0.0/16",  # DigitalOcean VPC
          destination_network = "10.1.0.0/16",  # AWS VPC
          gateway = "vpn-tunnel",
          metric = 100
        },

        aws_to_do = {
          source_network = "10.1.0.0/16",
          destination_network = "10.0.0.0/16",
          gateway = "vpn-tunnel",
          metric = 100
        },

        # Route to Hetzner through AWS (if AWS is central hub)
        aws_to_hz = {
          source_network = "10.1.0.0/16",
          destination_network = "10.2.0.0/16",
          gateway = "aws-vpn-gateway",
          metric = 150
        }
      }
    }

### Static Routes on Hetzner

    # Add route to AWS VPC
    ip route add 10.1.0.0/16 via 10.0.0.1

    # Add route to DigitalOcean VPC
    ip route add 10.0.0.0/16 via 10.2.0.1

    # Persist routes
    cat >> /etc/network/interfaces <<'EOF'
    # Routes to other providers
    up ip route add 10.1.0.0/16 via 10.0.0.1
    up ip route add 10.0.0.0/16 via 10.2.0.1
    EOF

### AWS Route Tables

    # Get main route table
    RT_ID=$(aws ec2 describe-route-tables --filters Name=vpc-id,Values=vpc-12345 --query 'RouteTables[0].RouteTableId' --output text)

    # Add route to DigitalOcean network through VPN gateway
    aws ec2 create-route \
      --route-table-id $RT_ID \
      --destination-cidr-block 10.0.0.0/16 \
      --gateway-id vgw-12345

    # Add route to Hetzner network
    aws ec2 create-route \
      --route-table-id $RT_ID \
      --destination-cidr-block 10.2.0.0/16 \
      --gateway-id vgw-12345

## Security Considerations

### 1. Encryption

IPSec:

- AES-256 encryption
- SHA-256 hashing
- 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman
- Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS)

Wireguard:

- ChaCha20/Poly1305 or AES-GCM
- Curve25519 key exchange
- Automatic key rotation

    # Verify IPSec configuration
    swanctl --stats

    # Check encryption algorithms
    swanctl --list-connections

### 2. Firewall Rules

DigitalOcean Firewall:

    inbound_rules = [
      # Allow VPN traffic from AWS
      {
        protocol = "udp",
        ports = "51820",
        sources = { addresses = ["aws-server-public-ip/32"] }
      },
      # Allow traffic from AWS VPC
      {
        protocol = "tcp",
        ports = "443",
        sources = { addresses = ["10.1.0.0/16"] }
      }
    ]

AWS Security Group:

    # Allow traffic from DigitalOcean VPC
    aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
      --group-id sg-12345 \
      --protocol tcp \
      --port 443 \
      --source-security-group-cidr 10.0.0.0/16

    # Allow VPN from DigitalOcean
    aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
      --group-id sg-12345 \
      --protocol udp \
      --port 51820 \
      --cidr "do-public-ip/32"

Hetzner Firewall:

    hcloud firewall create --name vpn-fw \
      --rules "direction=in protocol=udp destination_port=51820 source_ips=10.0.0.0/16;10.1.0.0/16"

### 3. Network Segmentation

    # Each provider has isolated subnets
    networks = {
      do_web_tier = "10.0.1.0/24",      # Public-facing web
      do_app_tier = "10.0.2.0/24",      # Internal apps
      do_vpn_gateway = "10.0.3.0/24",   # VPN endpoint

      aws_data_tier = "10.1.1.0/24",    # Databases
      aws_cache_tier = "10.1.2.0/24",   # Redis/Cache
      aws_vpn_endpoint = "10.1.3.0/24", # VPN endpoint

      hz_backup_tier = "10.2.1.0/24",   # Backups
      hz_vpn_gateway = "10.2.2.0/24"    # VPN endpoint
    }

### 4. DNS Security

    # Private DNS for internal services
    # On each provider's VPC/network, configure:

    # DigitalOcean
    10.0.1.10 web-1.internal
    10.0.1.11 web-2.internal
    10.1.1.10 database.internal

    # Add to /etc/hosts or configure Route53 private hosted zones
    aws route53 create-hosted-zone \
      --name internal.example.com \
      --vpc VPCRegion=us-east-1,VPCId=vpc-12345 \
      --caller-reference internal-zone

    # Create A record
    aws route53 change-resource-record-sets \
      --hosted-zone-id ZONE_ID \
      --change-batch file:///tmp/changes.json

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: No Connectivity Between Providers

Diagnosis:

    # Test VPN tunnel status
    swanctl --stats

    # Check routing
    ip route show

    # Test connectivity
    ping -c 3 10.1.1.10  # AWS target
    traceroute 10.1.1.10

Solutions:

1. Verify VPN tunnel is up: `swanctl --up aws-vpn`
2. Check firewall rules on both sides
3. Verify route table entries
4. Check security group rules
5. Verify DNS resolution

### Issue: High Latency Between Providers

Diagnosis:

    # Measure latency
    ping -c 10 10.1.1.10 | tail -1

    # Check packet loss
    mtr -c 100 10.1.1.10

    # Check bandwidth
    iperf3 -c 10.1.1.10 -t 10

Solutions:

- Use geographically closer providers
- Check VPN tunnel encryption overhead
- Verify network bandwidth
- Consider dedicated connections

### Issue: DNS Not Resolving Across Providers

Diagnosis:

    # Test internal DNS
    nslookup database.internal

    # Check /etc/resolv.conf
    cat /etc/resolv.conf

    # Test from another provider
    ssh do-server "nslookup database.internal"

Solutions:

- Configure private hosted zones (Route53)
- Setup DNS forwarders between providers
- Add hosts entries for critical services

### Issue: VPN Tunnel Drops

Diagnosis:

    # Check connection logs
    journalctl -u strongswan-swanctl -f

    # Monitor tunnel status
    watch -n 1 'swanctl --stats'

    # Check timeout values
    swanctl --list-connections

Solutions:

- Increase keepalive timeout
- Enable DPD (Dead Peer Detection)
- Check for firewall/ISP blocking
- Verify public IP stability

## Summary

Multi-provider networking requires:

✓ Private Networks: VPC/vSwitch per provider ✓ VPN Tunnels: IPSec or Wireguard encryption ✓ Routing: Proper route tables and static routes ✓ Security: Firewall rules and access control ✓ Monitoring: Connectivity and latency checks

Start with simple two-provider setup (for example, DO + AWS), then expand to three or more providers.

## Configuration Examples

### Example 1: Simple Web Server

    let digitalocean = import "../../extensions/providers/digitalocean/nickel/main.ncl" in

    {
      workspace_name = "simple-web",

      web_server = digitalocean.Droplet & {
        name = "web-01",
        region = "nyc3",
        size = "s-1vcpu-1gb-25gb",
        image = "ubuntu-22-04-x64",
        ssh_keys = ["your-ssh-key-id"],

        user_data = ''
          #!/bin/bash
          apt-get update
          apt-get install -y nginx
          systemctl start nginx
          systemctl enable nginx
        '',

        firewall = {
          inbound_rules = [
            { protocol = "tcp", ports = "22", sources = { addresses = ["YOUR_IP/32"] } },
            { protocol = "tcp", ports = "80", sources = { addresses = ["0.0.0.0/0"] } },
            { protocol = "tcp", ports = "443", sources = { addresses = ["0.0.0.0/0"] } }
          ]
        },

        monitoring = true
      }
    }

### Example 2: Web Application with Database

    {
      web_tier = digitalocean.Droplet & {
        name = "web-server",
        region = "nyc3",
        size = "s-2vcpu-4gb",
        count = 2,

        firewall = {
          inbound_rules = [
            { protocol = "tcp", ports = "22", sources = { addresses = ["0.0.0.0/0"] } },
            { protocol = "tcp", ports = "80", sources = { addresses = ["0.0.0.0/0"] } },
            { protocol = "tcp", ports = "443", sources = { addresses = ["0.0.0.0/0"] } }
          ]
        },

        tags = ["web", "production"]
      },

      load_balancer = digitalocean.LoadBalancer & {
        name = "web-lb",
        region = "nyc3",
        algorithm = "round_robin",

        forwarding_rules = [
          {
            entry_protocol = "http",
            entry_port = 80,
            target_protocol = "http",
            target_port = 8080
          }
        ],

        health_check = {
          protocol = "http",
          port = 8080,
          path = "/health",
          check_interval_seconds = 10,
          response_timeout_seconds = 5
        }
      },

      database = digitalocean.Database & {
        name = "app-db",
        engine = "pg",
        version = "14",
        size = "db-s-1vcpu-1gb",
        region = "nyc3",
        multi_az = true
      }
    }

### Example 3: High-Performance Storage

    {
      app_server = digitalocean.Droplet & {
        name = "app-with-storage",
        region = "nyc3",
        size = "s-4vcpu-8gb",

        volumes = [
          {
            size = 500,
            name = "app-storage",
            filesystem_type = "ext4"
          }
        ]
      },

      backup_storage = digitalocean.Volume & {
        name = "backup-volume",
        size = 1000,
        region = "nyc3",
        description = "Backup storage for app data"
      }
    }

## Best Practices

### 1. Droplet Management

Instance Sizing

- Start with smallest viable size (s-1vcpu-1gb)
- Monitor CPU/memory usage
- Scale vertically for predictable workloads
- Use autoscaling with Kubernetes for bursty workloads

SSH Key Management

- Use SSH keys instead of passwords
- Store private keys securely
- Rotate keys regularly (at least yearly)
- Different keys for different environments

Monitoring

- Enable monitoring on all Droplets
- Set up alerting for CPU > 80%
- Monitor disk usage
- Alert on high memory usage

### 2. Firewall Configuration

Principle of Least Privilege

- Only allow necessary ports
- Specify source IPs when possible
- Use SSH key authentication (no passwords)
- Block unnecessary outbound traffic

Default Rules

    # Minimal firewall for web server
    inbound_rules = [
      { protocol = "tcp", ports = "22", sources = { addresses = ["YOUR_OFFICE_IP/32"] } },
      { protocol = "tcp", ports = "80", sources = { addresses = ["0.0.0.0/0"] } },
      { protocol = "tcp", ports = "443", sources = { addresses = ["0.0.0.0/0"] } }
    ],

    outbound_rules = [
      { protocol = "tcp", destinations = { addresses = ["0.0.0.0/0"] } },
      { protocol = "udp", ports = "53", destinations = { addresses = ["0.0.0.0/0"] } }
    ]

### 3. Database Best Practices

High Availability

- Use 3-node clusters for production
- Enable automated backups (retain for 30 days)
- Test backup restore procedures
- Use read replicas for scaling reads

Connection Pooling

- Enable PgBouncer for PostgreSQL
- Set pool size based on app connections
- Monitor connection count

Backup Strategy

- Daily automated backups (DigitalOcean manages)
- Export critical data to Spaces weekly
- Test restore procedures monthly
- Keep backups for minimum 30 days

### 4. Volume Management

Data Persistence

- Use volumes for stateful data
- Don’t store critical data on Droplet root volume
- Enable automatic snapshots
- Document mount points

Capacity Planning

- Monitor volume usage
- Expand volumes as needed (no downtime)
- Delete old snapshots to save costs

### 5. Load Balancer Configuration

Health Checks

- Set appropriate health check paths
- Conservative intervals (10-30 seconds)
- Longer timeout to avoid false positives
- Multiple healthy thresholds

Sticky Sessions

- Use if application requires session affinity
- Set appropriate TTL (300-3600 seconds)
- Monitor for imbalanced traffic

### 6. Cost Optimization

Droplet Sizing

- Right-size instances to actual needs
- Use snapshots to create custom images
- Destroy unused Droplets

Reserved Droplets

- Pre-pay for predictable workloads
- 25-30% savings vs hourly

Object Storage

- Use lifecycle policies to delete old data
- Compress data before uploading
- Use CDN for frequent access (reduces egress)

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Droplet Not Accessible

Symptoms: Cannot SSH to Droplet, connection timeout

Diagnosis:

1. Verify Droplet status in DigitalOcean Control Panel
2. Check firewall rules allow port 22 from your IP
3. Verify SSH key is loaded in SSH agent: `ssh-add -l`
4. Check Droplet has public IP assigned

Solution:

    # Add to firewall
    doctl compute firewall add-rules firewall-id \
      --inbound-rules="protocol:tcp,ports:22,sources:addresses:YOUR_IP"

    # Test SSH
    ssh -v -i ~/.ssh/key.pem root@DROPLET_IP

    # Or use VNC console in Control Panel

### Issue: Volume Not Mounting

Symptoms: Volume created but not accessible, mount fails

Diagnosis:

    # Check volume attachment
    doctl compute volume list

    # On Droplet, check block devices
    lsblk

    # Check filesystem
    sudo file -s /dev/sdb

Solution:

    # Format volume (only first time)
    sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb

    # Create mount point
    sudo mkdir -p /data

    # Mount volume
    sudo mount /dev/sdb /data

    # Make permanent by editing /etc/fstab
    echo '/dev/sdb /data ext4 defaults,nofail,discard 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

### Issue: Load Balancer Health Checks Failing

Symptoms: Backends marked unhealthy, traffic not flowing

Diagnosis:

    # Test health check endpoint manually
    curl -i http://BACKEND_IP:8080/health

    # Check backend logs
    ssh backend-server
    tail -f /var/log/app.log

Solution:

- Verify endpoint returns HTTP 200
- Check backend firewall allows load balancer IPs
- Adjust health check timing (increase timeout)
- Verify backend service is running

### Issue: Database Connection Issues

Symptoms: Cannot connect to managed database

Diagnosis:

    # Test connectivity from Droplet
    psql -h db-host.db.ondigitalocean.com -U admin -d defaultdb

    # Check firewall
    doctl compute firewall list-rules firewall-id

Solution:

- Add Droplet to database’s trusted sources
- Verify connection string (host, port, username)
- Check database is accepting connections
- For 3-node cluster, use connection pool endpoint

## Summary

DigitalOcean provides a simple, transparent platform ideal for developers and small teams. Its key advantages are:

✓ Simple pricing and transparent costs ✓ Excellent documentation ✓ Good performance for typical workloads ✓ Managed services (databases, Kubernetes) ✓ Global presence ✓ Developer-friendly interface

### Example 2: Web Application with Load Balancer and Storage

    {
      # Backend servers
      app_servers = hetzner.Server & {
        name = "app",
        server_type = "cx31",

        location = "nbg1",
        count = 3,
        ssh_keys = ["provisioning"],

        volumes = [
          {
            size = 100,
            format = "ext4",
            automount = true
          }
        ],

        firewall_rules = [
          { direction = "in", source_ips = ["0.0.0.0/0"], destination_port = "22", protocol = "tcp" },

        ],

        labels = { "tier" = "application" }
      },

      # Load balancer

        name = "web-lb",
        load_balancer_type = "lb11",
        location = "nbg1",

        services = [
          {
            protocol = "http",
            listen_port = 80,
            destination_port = 8080,
            health_check = {

              port = 8080,
              interval = 15
            }
          }
        ]
      },

      # Persistent storage

        location = "nbg1",
        automount = false,
        format = "ext4"
      }
    }

### Example 3: High-Performance Compute Cluster

    {
      # Compute nodes with 10Gbps networking
      compute_nodes = hetzner.Server & {
        name = "compute",
        server_type = "cpx41",  # 16 vCPU, 32 GB, 10Gbps
        image = "ubuntu-22.04",
        location = "nbg1",
        count = 5,

        volumes = [
          {
            size = 500,
            format = "ext4",
            automount = true
          }
        ],

        labels = { "tier" = "compute" }
      },

      # Storage node
      storage = hetzner.Server & {
        name = "storage",
        server_type = "cx41",
        image = "ubuntu-22.04",
        location = "nbg1",

        volumes = [
          {
            size = 2000,
            format = "ext4",
            automount = true
          }
        ],

        labels = { "tier" = "storage" }
      },

      # High-capacity volume for data
      data_volume = hetzner.Volume & {
        name = "compute-data",
        size = 5000,
        location = "nbg1"
      }
    }

## Best Practices

### 1. Server Selection and Sizing

Performance Tiers:

- CX Series (Standard): Best value for most workloads

  - CX21: Default choice for 2-4 GB workloads
  - CX41: Good mid-range option

- CPX Series (ARM-based CPU-optimized): Better for CPU-intensive

  - CPX21: Outstanding value at €20.90/month
  - CPX31: Good for compute workloads

- CCX Series (AMD EPYC): High-performance options

Selection Criteria:

- Start with CX21 (€6.90/month) for testing
- Scale to CPX21 (€20.90/month) for CPU-bound workloads
- Use CX31+ (€13.80+) for balanced workloads with data

### 2. Network Architecture

High Availability:

    # Use Floating IPs for failover
    floating_ip = hetzner.FloatingIP & {
      name = "web-ip",
      ip_type = "ipv4",
      location = "nbg1"
    }

    # Attach to primary server, reassign on failure
    attachment = {
      server = "primary-server"
    }

Private Networking:

    # Create private network for internal communication
    private_network = hetzner.Network & {
      name = "private",
      ip_range = "10.0.0.0/8",
      labels = { "env" = "prod" }
    }

### 3. Storage Strategy

Volume Sizing:

- Estimate storage needs: app + data + logs + backups
- Add 20% buffer for growth
- Monitor usage monthly

Backup Strategy:

- Enable automatic snapshots
- Regular manual snapshots for important data
- Test restore procedures
- Keep snapshots for minimum 30 days

### 4. Firewall Configuration

Principle of Least Privilege:

    # Only open necessary ports
    firewall_rules = [
      # SSH from management IP only
      { direction = "in", source_ips = ["203.0.113.1/32"], destination_port = "22", protocol = "tcp" },

      # HTTP/HTTPS from anywhere
      { direction = "in", source_ips = ["0.0.0.0/0", "::/0"], destination_port = "80", protocol = "tcp" },
      { direction = "in", source_ips = ["0.0.0.0/0", "::/0"], destination_port = "443", protocol = "tcp" },

      # Database replication (internal only)
      { direction = "in", source_ips = ["10.0.0.0/8"], destination_port = "5432", protocol = "tcp" }
    ]

### 5. Monitoring and Health Checks

Enable Monitoring:

    hcloud server update <server-id> --enable-rescue

Health Check Patterns:

- HTTP endpoint returning 200
- Custom health check scripts
- Regular resource verification

### 6. Cost Optimization

Reserved Servers (Pre-pay for 12 months):

- 25% discount vs hourly
- Good for predictable workloads

Spot Pricing (Coming):

- Watch for additional discounts
- Off-peak capacity

Resource Cleanup:

- Delete unused volumes
- Remove old snapshots
- Consolidate small servers

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Cannot Connect to Server

Symptoms: SSH timeout or connection refused

Diagnosis:

    # Check server status
    hcloud server list

    # Verify firewall allows port 22
    hcloud firewall describe firewall-name

    # Check if server has public IPv4
    hcloud server describe server-name

Solution:

    # Update firewall to allow SSH from your IP
    hcloud firewall add-rules firewall-id \
      --rules "direction=in protocol=tcp source_ips=YOUR_IP/32 destination_port=22"

    # Or reset SSH using rescue mode via console
    hcloud server request-console server-id

### Issue: Volume Attachment Failed

Symptoms: Volume created but cannot attach, mount fails

Diagnosis:

    # Check volume status
    hcloud volume list

    # Check server has available attachment slot
    hcloud server describe server-name

Solution:

    # Format volume (first time only)
    sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb

    # Mount manually
    sudo mkdir -p /data
    sudo mount /dev/sdb /data

    # Make persistent
    echo '/dev/sdb /data ext4 defaults,nofail 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
    sudo mount -a

### Issue: High Data Transfer Costs

Symptoms: Unexpected egress charges

Diagnosis:

    # Check server network traffic
    sar -n DEV 1 100

    # Monitor connection patterns
    netstat -an | grep ESTABLISHED | wc -l

Solution:

- Use Hetzner Object Storage for static files
- Cache content locally
- Optimize data transfer patterns
- Consider using Content Delivery Network

### Issue: Load Balancer Not Routing Traffic

Symptoms: LB created but backends not receiving traffic

Diagnosis:

    # Check LB status
    hcloud load-balancer describe lb-name

    # Test backend directly
    curl -H "Host: example.com" http://backend-ip:8080/health

Solution:

- Ensure backends have firewall allowing LB traffic
- Verify health check endpoint works
- Check backend service is running
- Review health check configuration

## Common Command Patterns

### Deploy Mode Change

    # Migrate solo to multiuser
    pkill -SIGTERM -f "cargo run"
    sleep 5
    tar -czf backup-solo.tar.gz /var/lib/provisioning/
    export VAULT_MODE=multiuser REGISTRY_MODE=multiuser
    cargo run --release -p vault-service &
    sleep 2
    cargo run --release -p extension-registry &

### Restart Single Service Without Downtime

    # For load-balanced deployments:
    # 1. Remove from load balancer
    # 2. Graceful shutdown
    pkill -SIGTERM vault-service
    # 3. Wait for connections to drain
    sleep 10
    # 4. Restart service
    cargo run --release -p vault-service &
    # 5. Health check
    curl http://localhost:8200/health
    # 6. Return to load balancer

### Scale Workers for Load

    # Increase workers when under load
    export VAULT_SERVER_WORKERS=16
    pkill -SIGTERM vault-service
    sleep 2
    cargo run --release -p vault-service &

    # Alternative: Edit schema/defaults
    vim provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/vault-service.ncl
    # Or: vim provisioning/schemas/platform/defaults/vault-service-defaults.ncl
    # Change: server.workers = 16, then re-generate and restart
    ./provisioning/.typedialog/platform/scripts/generate-configs.nu vault-service enterprise
    pkill -SIGTERM vault-service
    sleep 2
    cargo run --release -p vault-service &

   - `just auth-help`
   - `just kms-help`
   - `just orch-help`

2. Tab Completion: Use `just --list` to see all available recipes

3. Dry-Run: Use `just -n <recipe>` to see what would be executed

4. Shortcuts: Many recipes have short aliases

   - `just whoami` = `just auth-status`

5. Error Handling: Destructive operations require confirmation

6. Composition: Combine recipes for complex workflows

       just auth-login alice && just orch-health && just workflow-list

## Registry Management

### Local Registry (Development)

    # Start
    provisioning oci-registry start

    # Stop
    provisioning oci-registry stop

    # Status
    provisioning oci-registry status

    # Endpoint: localhost:5000
    # Storage: ~/.provisioning/oci-registry/

### Remote Registry (Production)

    # Login to Harbor
    provisioning oci login harbor.company.com --username admin

    # Configure in workspace
    # Edit workspace/config/provisioning.yaml:
    # dependencies:
    #   registry:
    #     oci:
    #       endpoint: "https://harbor.company.com"
    #       tls_enabled: true

## Migration from Monorepo

    provisioning migrate-to-oci workspace_dev --dry-run

    # 2. Migrate with publishing
    provisioning migrate-to-oci workspace_dev --publish

    # 3. Validate migration
    provisioning validate-migration workspace_dev

    # 4. Generate report
    provisioning migration-report workspace_dev

    # 5. Rollback if needed
    provisioning rollback-migration workspace_dev

## Troubleshooting

### Registry Not Running

    # Check if registry is running
    curl http://localhost:5000/v2/_catalog

    # Start if not running
    provisioning oci-registry start

### Authentication Failed

    # Login again
    provisioning oci login localhost:5000

    # Or use token file
    echo "your-token" > ~/.provisioning/tokens/oci

### Extension Not Found

    # Check registry connection
    provisioning oci config

    # List available extensions
    provisioning oci list

    # Check namespace
    provisioning oci list --namespace provisioning-extensions

### Dependency Resolution Failed

    # Validate dependencies
    provisioning dep validate

    # Show dependency tree
    provisioning dep tree kubernetes

    # Check for updates
    provisioning dep check-updates

## Best Practices

### Versioning

✅ DO: Use semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)

    version: 1.2.3

❌ DON’T: Use arbitrary versions

    version: latest  # Unpredictable

### Dependencies

✅ DO: Specify version constraints

    dependencies:
      containerd: ">=1.7.0"
      etcd: "^3.5.0"

❌ DON’T: Use wildcards

    dependencies:
      containerd: "*"  # Too permissive

### Security

✅ DO:

- Use TLS for production registries
- Rotate authentication tokens
- Scan for vulnerabilities

❌ DON’T:

- Use `--insecure` in production
- Store passwords in config files

## Common Patterns

### Pull and Install

    # Pull extension
    provisioning oci pull kubernetes:1.28.0

    # Resolve dependencies (auto-installs)
    provisioning dep resolve

    # Use extension
    provisioning taskserv create kubernetes

### Update Extensions

    # Check for updates
    provisioning dep check-updates

    # Update specific extension
    provisioning dep update kubernetes

    # Update all
    provisioning dep resolve --update

### Copy Between Registries

    # Copy from local to production
    provisioning oci copy \
      localhost:5000/provisioning-extensions/kubernetes:1.28.0 \
      harbor.company.com/provisioning/kubernetes:1.28.0

### Publish Multiple Extensions

    # Publish all taskservs
    for dir in (ls extensions/taskservs); do
      provisioning oci push $dir.name $dir.name 1.0.0
    done

## Environment Variables

    # Override registry
    export PROVISIONING_OCI_REGISTRY="harbor.company.com"

    # Override namespace
    export PROVISIONING_OCI_NAMESPACE="my-extensions"

    # Set auth token
    export PROVISIONING_OCI_TOKEN="your-token-here"

# Sudo Password Handling - Quick Reference

## When Sudo is Required

Sudo password is needed when `fix_local_hosts: true` in your server configuration. This modifies:

- `/etc/hosts` - Maps server hostnames to IP addresses
- `~/.ssh/config` - Adds SSH connection shortcuts

## Quick Solutions

### ✅ Best: Cache Credentials First

    sudo -v && provisioning -c server create

Credentials cached for 5 minutes, no prompts during operation.

### ✅ Alternative: Disable Host Fixing

    # In your settings.ncl or server config
    fix_local_hosts = false

No sudo required, manual `/etc/hosts` management.

### ✅ Manual: Enter Password When Prompted

    provisioning -c server create
    # Enter password when prompted
    # Or press CTRL-C to cancel

## CTRL-C Handling

### CTRL-C Behavior

IMPORTANT: Pressing CTRL-C at the sudo password prompt will interrupt the entire operation due to how Unix signals work. This is expected behavior and cannot be caught by Nushell.

When you press CTRL-C at the password prompt:

    Password: [CTRL-C]

    Error: nu::shell::error
      × Operation interrupted

Why this happens: SIGINT (CTRL-C) is sent to the entire process group, including Nushell itself. The signal propagates before exit code handling can occur.

### Graceful Handling (Non-CTRL-C Cancellation)

The system does handle these cases gracefully:

No password provided (just press Enter):

    Password: [Enter]

    ⚠ Operation cancelled - sudo password required but not provided
    ℹ Run 'sudo -v' first to cache credentials, or run without --fix-local-hosts

Wrong password 3 times:

    Password: [wrong]
    Password: [wrong]
    Password: [wrong]

    ⚠ Operation cancelled - sudo password required but not provided
    ℹ Run 'sudo -v' first to cache credentials, or run without --fix-local-hosts

### Recommended Approach

To avoid password prompts entirely:

    # Best: Pre-cache credentials (lasts 5 minutes)
    sudo -v && provisioning -c server create

    # Alternative: Disable host modification
    # Set fix_local_hosts = false in your server config

## Common Commands

    # Cache sudo for 5 minutes
    sudo -v

    # Check if cached
    sudo -n true && echo "Cached" || echo "Not cached"

    # Create alias for convenience
    alias prvng='sudo -v && provisioning'

    # Use the alias
    prvng -c server create

## Troubleshooting

Issue | Solution
--- | ---
“Password required” error | Run `sudo -v` first
CTRL-C doesn’t work cleanly | Update to latest version
Too many password prompts | Set `fix_local_hosts = false`
Sudo not available | Must disable `fix_local_hosts`
Wrong password 3 times | Run `sudo -k` to reset, then `sudo -v`

## Environment-Specific Settings

### Development (Local)

    fix_local_hosts = true  # Convenient for local testing

### CI/CD (Automation)

    fix_local_hosts = false  # No interactive prompts

### Production (Servers)

    fix_local_hosts = false  # Managed by configuration management

## What fix_local_hosts Does

When enabled:

1. Removes old hostname entries from `/etc/hosts`
2. Adds new hostname → IP mapping to `/etc/hosts`
3. Adds SSH config entry to `~/.ssh/config`
4. Removes old SSH host keys for the hostname

When disabled:

- You manually manage `/etc/hosts` entries
- You manually manage `~/.ssh/config` entries
- SSH to servers using IP addresses instead of hostnames

## Security Note

The provisioning tool never stores or caches your sudo password. It only:

- Checks if sudo credentials are already cached (via `sudo -n true`)
- Detects when sudo fails due to missing credentials
- Provides helpful error messages and exit cleanly

Your sudo password timeout is controlled by the system’s sudoers configuration (default: 5 minutes).

# Configuration Validation Guide

## Overview

The new configuration system includes comprehensive schema validation to catch errors early and ensure configuration correctness.

## Schema Validation Features

### 1. Required Fields Validation

Ensures all required fields are present:

    # Schema definition
    [required]
    fields = ["name", "version", "enabled"]

    # Valid config
    name = "my-service"
    version = "1.0.0"
    enabled = true

    # Invalid - missing 'enabled'
    name = "my-service"
    version = "1.0.0"
    # Error: Required field missing: enabled

### 2. Type Validation

Validates field types:

    # Schema
    [fields.port]
    type = "int"

    [fields.name]
    type = "string"

    [fields.enabled]
    type = "bool"

    # Valid
    port = 8080
    name = "orchestrator"
    enabled = true

    # Invalid - wrong type
    port = "8080"  # Error: Expected int, got string

### 3. Enum Validation

Restricts values to predefined set:

    # Schema
    [fields.environment]
    type = "string"
    enum = ["dev", "staging", "prod"]

    # Valid
    environment = "prod"

    # Invalid
    environment = "production"  # Error: Must be one of: dev, staging, prod

### 4. Range Validation

Validates numeric ranges:

    # Schema
    [fields.port]
    type = "int"
    min = 1024
    max = 65535

    # Valid
    port = 8080

    # Invalid - below minimum
    port = 80  # Error: Must be >= 1024

    # Invalid - above maximum
    port = 70000  # Error: Must be <= 65535

### 5. Pattern Validation

Validates string patterns using regex:

    # Schema
    [fields.email]
    type = "string"
    pattern = "^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$"

    # Valid
    email = "admin@example.com"

    # Invalid
    email = "not-an-email"  # Error: Does not match pattern

### 6. Deprecated Fields

Warns about deprecated configuration:

    # Schema
    [deprecated]
    fields = ["old_field"]

    [deprecated_replacements]
    old_field = "new_field"

    # Config using deprecated field
    old_field = "value"  # Warning: old_field is deprecated. Use new_field instead.

## Using Schema Validator

### Command Line

    # Validate workspace config
    provisioning workspace config validate

    # Validate provider config
    provisioning provider validate aws

    # Validate platform service config
    provisioning platform validate orchestrator

    # Validate with detailed output
    provisioning workspace config validate --verbose

### Programmatic Usage

    use provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/config/schema_validator.nu *

    # Load config
    let config = (open ~/workspaces/my-project/config/provisioning.yaml | from yaml)

    # Validate against schema
    let result = (validate-workspace-config $config)

    # Check results
    if $result.valid {
      print "✅ Configuration is valid"
    } else {
      print "❌ Configuration has errors:"
      for error in $result.errors {
        print $"  • ($error.message)"
      }
    }

    # Display warnings
    if ($result.warnings | length) > 0 {
      print "⚠️  Warnings:"
      for warning in $result.warnings {
        print $"  • ($warning.message)"
      }
    }

### Pretty Print Results

    # Validate and print formatted results
    let result = (validate-workspace-config $config)
    print-validation-results $result

## Validation Workflow

### 1. Development

    # Create new config
    vim ~/workspaces/dev/config/provisioning.yaml

    # Validate immediately
    provisioning workspace config validate

    # Fix errors and revalidate
    vim ~/workspaces/dev/config/provisioning.yaml
    provisioning workspace config validate

### 2. CI/CD Pipeline

    # GitLab CI
    validate-config:
      stage: validate
      script:
        - provisioning workspace config validate
        - provisioning provider validate aws
        - provisioning provider validate upcloud
        - provisioning platform validate orchestrator
      only:
        changes:
          - "*/config/**/*"

### 3. Pre-Deployment

    # Validate all configurations before deployment
    provisioning workspace config validate --verbose
    provisioning provider validate --all
    provisioning platform validate --all

    # If valid, proceed with deployment
    if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
      provisioning deploy --workspace production
    fi

## Error Messages

### Clear Error Format

    ❌ Validation failed

    Errors:
      • Required field missing: workspace.name
      • Field port type mismatch: expected int, got string
      • Field environment must be one of: dev, staging, prod
      • Field port must be >= 1024
      • Field email does not match pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@.*$

    ⚠️  Warnings:
      • Field old_field is deprecated. Use new_field instead.

### Error Details

Each error includes:

- field: Which field has the error
- type: Error type (missing_required, type_mismatch, invalid_enum, etc.)
- message: Human-readable description
- Additional context: Expected values, patterns, ranges

## Common Validation Patterns

### Pattern 1: Hostname Validation

    [fields.hostname]
    type = "string"
    pattern = "^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?$"

### Pattern 2: Email Validation

    [fields.email]
    type = "string"
    pattern = "^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$"

### Pattern 3: Semantic Version

    [fields.version]
    type = "string"
    pattern = "^\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+(-[a-zA-Z0-9]+)?$"

### Pattern 4: URL Validation

    [fields.url]
    type = "string"
    pattern = "^https?://[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+(:[0-9]+)?(/.*)?$"

### Pattern 5: IPv4 Address

    [fields.ip_address]
    type = "string"
    pattern = "^(?:[0-9]{1,3}\\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}$"

### Pattern 6: AWS Resource ID

    [fields.instance_id]
    type = "string"
    pattern = "^i-[a-f0-9]{8,17}$"

    [fields.ami_id]
    type = "string"
    pattern = "^ami-[a-f0-9]{8,17}$"

    [fields.vpc_id]
    type = "string"
    pattern = "^vpc-[a-f0-9]{8,17}$"

## Testing Validation

### Unit Tests

    # Run validation test suite
    nu provisioning/tests/config_validation_tests.nu

### Integration Tests

    # Test with real configs
    provisioning test validate --workspace dev
    provisioning test validate --workspace staging
    provisioning test validate --workspace prod

### Custom Validation

    # Create custom validation function
    def validate-custom-config [config: record] {
      let result = (validate-workspace-config $config)

      # Add custom business logic validation
      if ($config.workspace.name | str starts-with "prod") {
        if not $config.debug.enabled == false {
          $result.errors = ($result.errors | append {
            field: "debug.enabled"
            type: "custom"
            message: "Debug must be disabled in production"
          })
        }
      }

      $result
    }

## Best Practices

### 1. Validate Early

    # Validate during development
    provisioning workspace config validate

    # Don't wait for deployment

### 2. Use Strict Schemas

    # Be explicit about types and constraints
    [fields.port]
    type = "int"
    min = 1024
    max = 65535

    # Don't leave fields unvalidated

### 3. Document Patterns

    # Include examples in schema
    [fields.email]
    type = "string"
    pattern = "^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$"
    # Example: user@example.com

### 4. Handle Deprecation

    # Always provide replacement guidance
    [deprecated_replacements]
    old_field = "new_field"  # Clear migration path

### 5. Test Schemas

    # Include test cases in comments
    # Valid: "admin@example.com"
    # Invalid: "not-an-email"

## Troubleshooting

### Schema File Not Found

    # Error: Schema file not found: /path/to/schema.toml

    # Solution: Ensure schema exists
    ls -la /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/config/*.schema.toml

### Pattern Not Matching

    # Error: Field hostname does not match pattern

    # Debug: Test pattern separately
    echo "my-hostname" | grep -E "^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?$"

### Type Mismatch

    # Error: Expected int, got string

    # Check config
    cat ~/workspaces/dev/config/provisioning.yaml | yq '.server.port'
    # Output: "8080" (string)

    # Fix: Remove quotes
    vim ~/workspaces/dev/config/provisioning.yaml
    # Change: port: "8080"
    # To:     port: 8080
