-╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
-📍 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
-
-
-The bootstrap script automatically:
-
-- Detects your system (OS, CPU, RAM, architecture)
-- Verifies dependencies (Docker, Rust, Nushell)
-- Creates workspace directories (config, state, cache)
-- Validates Nickel configuration (syntax checking)
-- Exports configuration (Nickel → TOML files)
-- Initializes orchestrator (starts service in background)
-- Verifies installation (checks all files created)
-
-
-
-After bootstrap completes, verify that all components are working correctly.
-
-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)
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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

-This section covers common issues and solutions.
-
-Symptoms:
-./provisioning/bootstrap/install.sh: line X: nu: command not found
-
-Solution:
-
-- Install Nushell (see Step 1.2)
-- Verify installation:
nu --version
-- Retry bootstrap script
-
-
-Symptoms:
-⚙️ Stage 4: Validating Configuration
-Error: Nickel configuration validation failed
-
-Solution:
-
-- Check Nickel syntax:
nickel typecheck config/config.ncl
-- Review error message for specific issue
-- Edit config file:
vim config/config.ncl
-- Run bootstrap again
-
-
-Symptoms:
-❌ Docker is required but not installed
-
-Solution:
-
-- Install Docker: Docker installation guide
-- Verify:
docker --version
-- Retry bootstrap script
-
-
-Symptoms:
-⚠️ Configuration export encountered issues (may continue)
-
-Solution:
-
-- Check Nushell library paths:
nu -c "use provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/config/export.nu *"
-- Verify export library exists:
ls provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/config/export.nu
-- Re-export manually:
-
cd /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning
-nu -c "
- use provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/config/export.nu *
- export-all-configs 'workspaces/workspace_librecloud'
-"
-
-
-
-
-Symptoms:
-🚀 Stage 6: Initializing Orchestrator Service
-⚠️ Orchestrator may not have started (check logs)
-
-curl http://localhost:9090/health
-# Connection refused
-
-Solution:
-
-- Check for port conflicts:
lsof -i :9090
-- If port 9090 is in use, either:
-
-- Stop the conflicting service
-- Change orchestrator port in configuration
-
-
-- Check logs:
tail -f provisioning/platform/orchestrator/data/orchestrator.log
-- Start manually:
cd provisioning/platform/orchestrator && ./scripts/start-orchestrator.nu --background
-- Verify:
curl http://localhost:9090/health
-
-
-Symptoms:
-Stage 3: Creating Directory Structure
-[sudo] password for user:
-
-Solution:
-
-- This is normal if creating directories in system locations
-- Enter your sudo password when prompted
-- Or: Run bootstrap from home directory instead
-
-
-Symptoms:
-bash: ./provisioning/bootstrap/install.sh: Permission denied
-
-Solution:
-# Make script executable
-chmod +x /Users/Akasha/project-provisioning/provisioning/bootstrap/install.sh
-
-# Retry
-./provisioning/bootstrap/install.sh
-
-
-
-After successful installation validation, you can:
-
-To deploy infrastructure to UpCloud:
-# Read workspace deployment guide
-cat workspaces/workspace_librecloud/docs/deployment-guide.md
-
-# Or: From workspace directory
-cd workspaces/workspace_librecloud
-cat docs/deployment-guide.md
-
-
-To create a new workspace for different infrastructure:
-provisioning workspace init my_workspace --template minimal
-
-
-Discover what’s available to deploy:
-# List available task services
-provisioning mod discover taskservs
-
-# List available providers

-This guide covers:
-
-- ✅ Prerequisites verification (Nushell, Nickel, Docker)
-- ✅ Bootstrap installation (7-stage automated process)
-- ✅ Installation validation (directories, configs, services)
-- ✅ Troubleshooting common issues
-- ✅ Next steps for deployment
-
-You now have a fully installed and validated provisioning system ready for workspace deployment.
-
-Welcome to Infrastructure Automation. This guide will walk you through your first steps with infrastructure automation, from basic setup to deploying
-your first infrastructure.
-
-
-- Essential concepts and terminology
-- How to configure your first environment
-- Creating and managing infrastructure
-- Basic server and service management
-- Common workflows and best practices
-
-
-Before starting this guide, ensure you have:
-
-- ✅ Completed the Installation Guide
-- ✅ Verified your installation with
provisioning --version
-- ✅ Basic familiarity with command-line interfaces
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-| 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 |
-
-
-
-
-- Nickel: Primary configuration language for infrastructure definitions (type-safe, validated)
-- TOML: User preferences and system settings
-- YAML: Kubernetes manifests and service definitions
-
-
-
-Create your personal configuration:
-# Initialize user configuration
-provisioning init config
-
-# This creates ~/.provisioning/config.user.toml
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-# List available providers
-provisioning list providers
-
-# List available task services
-provisioning list taskservs
-
-# List available clusters
-provisioning list clusters
-
-
-Let’s create a simple local infrastructure to learn the basics.
-
-# 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
-
-
-# View the generated configuration
-provisioning show settings --infra local-demo
-
-
-# Validate syntax and structure
-provisioning validate config --infra local-demo
-
-# Should show: ✅ Configuration validation passed!
-
-
-# Dry run - see what would be created
-provisioning server create --infra local-demo --check
-
-# This shows planned changes without making them
-
-
-# Create the actual infrastructure
-provisioning server create --infra local-demo
-
-# Wait for completion
-provisioning server list --infra local-demo
-
-
-
-Let’s install a containerized service:
-# Install Docker/containerd
-provisioning taskserv create containerd --infra local-demo

-The system supports multiple environments:
-
-- dev - Development and testing
-- test - Integration testing
-- prod - Production deployment
-
-
-# Set environment for this session
-export PROVISIONING_ENV=dev
-provisioning env
-
-# Or specify per command
-provisioning --environment dev server create
-
-
-Create environment configs:
-# Development environment
-provisioning init config dev
-
-# Production environment
-provisioning init config prod
-
-
-
-# 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

+
+Use SOPS to encrypt sensitive configuration:
+# Generate Age encryption key
+age-keygen -o ~/.config/provisioning/age-key.txt
+
+# Extract public key
+export AGE_PUBLIC_KEY=$(grep "public key:" ~/.config/provisioning/age-key.txt | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d ' ')

-If running platform services, ensure these ports are available:
-| Service | Port | Protocol | Purpose |
-| Orchestrator | 8080 | HTTP | Workflow API |
-| Control Center | 9090 | HTTP | Policy engine |
-| KMS Service | 8082 | HTTP | Key management |
-| API Server | 8083 | HTTP | REST API |
-| Extension Registry | 8084 | HTTP | Extension discovery |
-| OCI Registry | 5000 | HTTP | Artifact storage |
-
-
-
-The platform requires outbound internet access to:
-
-- Download dependencies and updates
-- Pull container images
-- Access cloud provider APIs (AWS, UpCloud)
-- Fetch extension packages
-
-
-If you plan to use cloud providers, prepare credentials:
-
-
-- AWS Access Key ID
-- AWS Secret Access Key
-- Configured via
~/.aws/credentials or environment variables
-
-
-
-- UpCloud username
-- UpCloud password
-- Configured via environment variables or config files
-
-
-Once all prerequisites are met, proceed to:
-→ Installation
-
-This guide walks you through installing the Provisioning Platform on your system.
-
-The installation process involves:
-
-- Cloning the repository
-- Installing Nushell plugins
-- Setting up configuration
-- Initializing your first workspace
-
-Estimated time: 15-20 minutes
-
-# 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
-
-
-The platform uses multiple Nushell plugins for enhanced functionality.
-
-# Install from crates.io
-cargo install nu_plugin_tera
-
-# Register with Nushell
-nu -c "plugin add ~/.cargo/bin/nu_plugin_tera; plugin use tera"
-
-
-# Start Nushell
-nu
-
-# List installed plugins
-plugin list
-
-# Expected output should include:
-# - tera
-
-
-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:'"$(pwd)"'/provisioning/core/cli"' >> ~/.bashrc # or ~/.zshrc
-source ~/.bashrc # or ~/.zshrc
-
-# Verify installation
-provisioning --version
-
-
-Generate keys for encrypting sensitive configuration:
-# Create Age key directory
-mkdir -p ~/.config/provisioning/age
-
-# Generate private key
-age-keygen -o ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt
-
-# Extract public key
-age-keygen -y ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt > ~/.config/provisioning/age/public_key.txt
-
-# Secure the keys
-chmod 600 ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt
-chmod 644 ~/.config/provisioning/age/public_key.txt
-
-
-Set up basic environment variables:
-# Create environment file
-cat > ~/.provisioning/env << 'ENVEOF'
-# Provisioning Environment Configuration
-export PROVISIONING_ENV=dev
-export PROVISIONING_PATH=$(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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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/
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-If plugins aren’t recognized:
-# Rebuild plugin registry
-nu -c "plugin list; plugin use tera"
-
-
-If you encounter permission errors:
-# Ensure proper ownership
-sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.config/provisioning
-
-# Check PATH
-echo $PATH | grep provisioning
-
-
-If encryption fails:
-# Verify keys exist
-ls -la ~/.config/provisioning/age/
-
-# Regenerate if needed
-age-keygen -o ~/.config/provisioning/age/private_key.txt
-
-
-Once installation is complete, proceed to:
-→ First Deployment
-
-
-
-This guide walks you through deploying your first infrastructure using the Provisioning Platform.
-
-In this chapter, you’ll:
-
-- Configure a simple infrastructure
-- Create your first server
-- Install a task service (Kubernetes)
-- Verify the deployment
-
-Estimated time: 10-15 minutes
-
-Create a basic infrastructure configuration:
-# Generate infrastructure template
-provisioning generate infra --new my-infra
-
-# This creates: workspace/infra/my-infra/
-# - config.toml (infrastructure settings)
-# - settings.ncl (Nickel configuration)
-
-
-Edit the generated configuration:
-# Edit with your preferred editor
-$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
- }
-]
-
-
-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)
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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>
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-Install multiple services on one server:
-provisioning taskserv create kubernetes,cilium,postgres --infra my-infra --servers web-01
-
-
-Deploy a complete cluster configuration:
-provisioning cluster create buildkit --infra my-infra
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-# Check logs
-provisioning server logs dev-server-01
-
-# Try with debug mode
-provisioning --debug server create --infra my-infra
-
-
-# Check task service logs
-provisioning taskserv logs kubernetes
-
-# Retry installation
-provisioning taskserv create kubernetes --infra my-infra --force
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-Now that you’ve completed your first deployment:
-→ Verification - Verify your deployment is working correctly
-
-
-
-This guide helps you verify that your Provisioning Platform deployment is working correctly.
-
-After completing your first deployment, verify:
-

-
-Once verification is complete:
-
-
-
-
-Congratulations! You’ve successfully deployed and verified your first Provisioning Platform infrastructure!
-
-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.
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-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)
-
-
-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 |
-
-
-
-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 |
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-TypeDialog provides an interactive form-based configuration interface available in multiple backends (web, TUI, CLI).
-
-# 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 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
-
-
-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
-
-
-For advanced users who prefer editing configuration files directly:
-# View schema definition
-cat provisioning/schemas/platform/schemas/orchestrator.ncl
-
-# View default values

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

-
-# Regenerate TOML from edited config (CRITICAL STEP)

-
-When to use Manual Edit:
-
-- Advanced customization beyond form options
-- Programmatic configuration generation
-- Integration with CI/CD systems
-- Custom workspace-specific overrides
-
-
-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.
-
-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).
-
-After successful configuration, services can be started:
-
-# Set deployment mode
-export ORCHESTRATOR_MODE=solo
-
-# Run the orchestrator service
-cd provisioning/platform
-cargo run -p orchestrator
-
-
-# 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)
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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"

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

-The provisioning platform integrates AI capabilities to provide intelligent assistance for infrastructure configuration, deployment, and
-troubleshooting.
-This section documents the AI system architecture, features, and usage patterns.
-
-The AI integration consists of multiple components working together to provide intelligent infrastructure provisioning:
-
-- typdialog-ai: AI-assisted form filling and configuration
-- typdialog-ag: Autonomous AI agents for complex workflows
-- typdialog-prov-gen: Natural language to Nickel configuration generation
-- ai-service: Core AI service backend with multi-provider support
-- mcp-server: Model Context Protocol server for LLM integration
-- rag: Retrieval-Augmented Generation for contextual knowledge
-
-
-
-Generate infrastructure configurations from plain English descriptions:
-provisioning ai generate "Create a production PostgreSQL cluster with encryption and daily backups"
-
-
-Real-time suggestions and explanations as you fill out configuration forms via typdialog web UI.
-
-AI analyzes deployment failures and suggests fixes:
-provisioning ai troubleshoot deployment-12345
-
-
-Configuration Optimization
-AI reviews configurations and suggests performance and security improvements:
-provisioning ai optimize workspaces/prod/config.ncl
-
-
-AI agents execute multi-step workflows with minimal human intervention:
-provisioning ai agent --goal "Set up complete dev environment for Python app"
-
-
-
-
-
-# Edit provisioning config
-vim provisioning/config/ai.toml
-
-# Set provider and enable features
-[ai]
-enabled = true
-provider = "anthropic" # or "openai" or "local"
-model = "claude-sonnet-4"
-
-[ai.features]
-form_assistance = true
-config_generation = true
-troubleshooting = true
-
-
-# Simple generation
-provisioning ai generate "PostgreSQL database with encryption"
-
-# With specific schema
-provisioning ai generate \
- --schema database \
- --output workspaces/dev/db.ncl \
- "Production PostgreSQL with 100GB storage and daily backups"
-
-
-# Open typdialog web UI with AI assistance
-provisioning workspace init --interactive --ai-assist
-
-# AI provides real-time suggestions as you type
-# AI explains validation errors in plain English
-# AI fills multiple fields from natural language description
-
-
-# Analyze failed deployment
-provisioning ai troubleshoot deployment-12345
-
-# AI analyzes logs and suggests fixes
-# AI generates corrected configuration
-# AI explains root cause in plain language
-
-
-The AI system implements strict security controls:
-
-- ✅ Cedar Policies: AI access controlled by Cedar authorization
-- ✅ Secret Isolation: AI cannot access secrets directly
-- ✅ Human Approval: Critical operations require human approval
-- ✅ Audit Trail: All AI operations logged
-- ✅ Data Sanitization: Secrets/PII sanitized before sending to LLM
-- ✅ Local Models: Support for air-gapped deployments
-
-See Security Policies for complete details.

-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.
-
-The RAG system consists of:
-
-- Document Store: SurrealDB vector store with semantic indexing
-- Hybrid Search: Vector similarity + BM25 keyword search
-- Chunk Management: Intelligent document chunking for code and markdown
-- Context Ranking: Relevance scoring for retrieved documents
-- Semantic Cache: Deduplication of repeated queries
-

- }
-}
-
-
-Intelligent chunking preserves context while managing token limits:
-
-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)
-
-
-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
-
-
-The system implements dual search strategy for optimal results:
-
-// 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
-
-
-// Find documents with matching keywords
-async fn keyword_search(query: &str, top_k: usize) -> Vec<Document> {

- 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”

-
-
-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

-
- // 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()) |
-}
-
-
-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

-Status: ✅ Production-Ready
-Test Coverage: 22/22 tests passing
-Database: SurrealDB 1.5.0+
-
-Status: ✅ Production-Ready (MCP 0.6.0+, integrated with Claude, compatible with all LLMs)
-The MCP server provides standardized Model Context Protocol integration, allowing external LLMs (Claude, GPT-4, local models) to access provisioning
-platform capabilities as tools. This enables complex multi-step workflows, tool composition, and integration with existing LLM applications.
-
-The MCP integration follows the Model Context Protocol specification:
-┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

-See Configuration Guide for MCP-specific settings:
-
-- MCP server port and binding
-- Tool registry customization
-- Rate limiting for tool calls
-- Access control (Cedar policies)
-
-
-
-
-- Tools require valid provisioning API token
-- Token scoped to user’s workspace
-- All tool calls authenticated and logged
-
-

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

-AI generates report:
- - Root cause explanation in plain English
- - Configuration issues identified
- - Suggested fixes with rationale
- - Alternative solutions
- - Links to relevant documentation

-║ ║
-║ Phase: database_migration (occurred during migration job) ║
-║ Error: Timeout after 30 seconds connecting to database ║
-║ ║
-║ Most Likely Causes (confidence): ║
-║ 1. Database security group blocks migration job (85%) ║
-║ 2. Database instance not fully initialized yet (60%) ║
-║ 3. Network connectivity issue (40%) ║
-║ ║
-║ Analysis: ║
-║ - Database was created only 2 seconds before connection ║
-║ - Migration job started immediately (no wait time) ║
-║ - Security group: allows 5432 only from default SG ║
-║ - Migration pod uses different security group ║
-║ ║
-╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
-║ Recommended Fix ║
-╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣

-║ Prevention ║
-╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
-║ ║
-║ To prevent this in future deployments: ║
-║ ║
-║ 1. Always verify security group rules before migration ║
-║ 2. Add health check: `SELECT 1` before starting migration ║
-║ 3. Increase initial timeout: database can be slow to start ║
-║ 4. Use RDS wait condition instead of time-based wait ║

-║ Root Cause: Pod Exceeded Node Capacity ║
-╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
-║ ║
-║ Failure Analysis: ║
-║ ║
-║ Error: Pod requests 4CPU/8GB, but largest node has 2CPU/4GB ║
-║ Cluster: 3 nodes, each t3.medium (2CPU/4GB) ║
-║ Pod requirements: ║
-║ - CPU: 4 (requested) + 2 (reserved system) = 6 needed ║
-║ - Memory: 8Gi (requested) + 1Gi (system) = 9Gi needed ║
-║ ║
-║ Why this happened: ║
-║ Pod spec updated to 4CPU/8GB but node group wasn't ║
-║ Node group still has t3.medium (too small) ║
-║ No autoscaling configured (won't scale up automatically) ║
-║ ║
-║ Solution Options: ║
-║ 1. Reduce pod resource requests to 2CPU/4GB (simpler) ║
-║ 2. Scale up node group to t3.large (2x cost, safer) ║
-║ 3. Use both: t3.large nodes + reduce pod requests ║
-║ ║
-╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
-║ Recommended: Option 2 (Scale up nodes) ║
-╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
-║ ║
-║ Reason: Pod requests are reasonable for production app ║
-║ Better to scale infrastructure than reduce resources ║
-║ ║
-║ Changes needed: ║

-Scenario 1: Generate simple database configuration
- - Input: 500 tokens (description + schema)
- - Output: 200 tokens (generated config)
- - Cost: (500 × $3 + 200 × $15) / 1,000,000 = $0.0045
- - With caching (hit rate 50%): $0.0023
-
-Scenario 2: Deep troubleshooting analysis
- - Input: 5000 tokens (logs + context)
- - Output: 2000 tokens (analysis + recommendations)
- - Cost: (5000 × $3 + 2000 × $15) / 1,000,000 = $0.045
- - With caching (hit rate 70%): $0.0135
-
-Scenario 3: Monthly usage (typical organization)
- - ~1000 config generations @ $0.005 = $5
- - ~500 troubleshooting calls @ $0.045 = $22.50
- - ~2000 form assists @ $0.002 = $4

-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)

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

-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"],
-}
-
-
-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"
-
-
-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 = {
-
-
-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

- 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)
-
-
-Input:

-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"],

- 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

- 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"
-
-
-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
-
-
-Suggestions change based on other fields:
-Scenario: Multi-step configuration form

-Status: 🔴 Planned
-Target Release: Q2 2025
-Last Updated: 2025-01-13
-Component: typdialog-ai
-Architecture: Complete
-Implementation: In Design Phase
-
-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.
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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

-Maintained By: Architecture Team
-Review Cycle: Quarterly
-Next Review: 2026-01-06
-
-
-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.
-
-
-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
-}
-
-
-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
-
-
-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):
-
-- Runtime Parameters (highest precedence)
-- Environment Configuration
-- Infrastructure Configuration
-- User Configuration
-- 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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-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.

-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-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

-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.

-Date: 2025-10-01
-Status: Clarification Document
-Related: Multi-Repo Strategy, Hybrid Orchestrator v3.0
-
-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.
-
-
-
-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:
-
-- Task queue management (file-based, reliable)
-- Priority scheduling (intelligent task ordering)
-- Deep call stack elimination (Rust handles recursion)
-- Performance optimization (async/await, parallel execution)
-- State management (workflow checkpointing)

-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!
-
-
-Core Package (provisioning-core) config:

-
-
-
-No Orchestrator Needed:
-provisioning server list
-
-# Flow:
-CLI → servers/list.nu → Query state → Return results
-(Orchestrator not involved)
-
-
-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"
-
-
-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)
- ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
- └──────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┘

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)
-
-
-
--
-
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
-
--
-
Reliable State Management
-
-
- Orchestrator maintains:
- - Task queue (survives crashes)
- - Workflow checkpoints (resume on failure)
- - Progress tracking (real-time monitoring)
- - Retry logic (automatic recovery)
-
-
-- Clean Separation
-
- Orchestrator (Rust): Performance, concurrency, state
- Business Logic (Nushell): Providers, taskservs, workflows
-
- Each does what it's best at!
-
-
-Question: Why not implement everything in Rust?
-Answer:
-
--
-
Nushell is perfect for infrastructure automation:
-
-- Shell-like scripting for system operations
-- Built-in structured data handling
-- Easy template rendering
-- Readable business logic
-
-
--
-
Rapid iteration:
-
-- Change Nushell scripts without recompiling
-- Community can contribute Nushell modules
-- Template-based configuration generation
-
-
--
-
Best of both worlds:
-
-- Rust: Performance, type safety, concurrency
-- Nushell: Flexibility, readability, ease of use

-
-- Solves deep call stack problems
-- Provides performance optimization
-- Enables complex workflows
-- NOT optional for production use
-
-
-
-- No code dependencies between repos
-- Runtime integration via CLI + REST API
-- Configuration-driven coordination
-- Works in both monorepo and multi-repo
-
-
-
-- Rust: High-performance coordination
-- Nushell: Flexible business logic
-- Clean separation of concerns
-- Each technology does what it’s best at
-
-
-
-- Same runtime model as monorepo
-- Package installation sets up paths
-- Configuration enables discovery
-- Versioning ensures compatibility
-
-
-
-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.
-
-Version: 1.0.0
-Date: 2025-10-06
-Status: Implementation Complete
-
-This document describes the multi-repository architecture for the provisioning system, enabling modular development, independent versioning, and
-distributed extension management through OCI registry integration.
-
-
-- Separation of Concerns: Core, Extensions, and Platform in separate repositories
-- Independent Versioning: Each component can be versioned and released independently
-- Distributed Development: Multiple teams can work on different repositories
-- OCI-Native Distribution: Extensions distributed as OCI artifacts
-- Dependency Management: Automated dependency resolution across repositories
-- Backward Compatibility: Support legacy monorepo structure during transition

-Maintained By: Architecture Team
-Review Cycle: Quarterly
-Next Review: 2026-01-06
-
-Date: 2025-10-01
-Status: Strategic Analysis
-Related: Repository Distribution Analysis
-
-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.
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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

-
Community Contributions
-
-- Extensions repo is easier to contribute to
-- Don’t need to clone entire monorepo
-- Clearer contribution guidelines per repo
-
-
--
-
Independent Versioning
-
-- Core can stay stable (3.x for months)
-- Platform can iterate fast (2.x weekly)
-- Extensions have own lifecycles
-
-
--
-
Build Performance
-
-- Only build what changed
-- Faster CI/CD per repo
-- Parallel builds across repos
-
-
--
-
Extension Ecosystem
-
-- Extensions repo becomes marketplace
-- Third-party extensions can live separately
-- Registry becomes discovery mechanism
-
-
-
-
-Phase 1: Split Repositories (Week 1-2)
-
-- Create 5 new repositories
-- Extract code from monorepo
-- Set up CI/CD for each
-- Create initial packages
-
-Phase 2: Package Integration (Week 3)
-
-- Implement package registry
-- Create installers
-- Set up version compatibility matrix
-- Test cross-repo integration
-
-Phase 3: Distribution System (Week 4)
-
-- Implement bundle system
-- Create release automation
-- Set up package hosting
-- Document release process
-
-Phase 4: Migration (Week 5)
-
-- Migrate existing users
-- Update documentation
-- Archive monorepo
-- Announce new structure
-
-
-
-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.
-
-
-
-- Approve multi-repo strategy
-- Create repository split plan
-- Set up GitHub organizations/teams
-- Implement package registry
-- Begin repository extraction
-
-Would you like me to create a detailed repository split implementation plan next?

-Control-Center uses SurrealDB with kv-mem backend, an embedded in-memory database - no separate database server required.
-
-[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"
-
-
-| 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
-
-
-Control-Center also supports (via Cargo.toml dependencies):
-
--
-
SurrealDB (WebSocket) - For production persistent storage
-surrealdb = { version = "2.3", features = ["kv-mem", "protocol-ws", "protocol-http"] }
-
-
--
-
SQLx - For SQL database backends (optional)
-sqlx = { workspace = true }
-
-
-
-Default: SurrealDB kv-mem (embedded, no extra setup, no build dependencies)
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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"
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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 |
-
-
-
-Master config: provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml
-Contains:
-
-- Global paths
-- Provider configurations
-- Cache settings
-- Debug flags
-- Environment-specific overrides
-
-
-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):

-Any config value can be overridden via environment variables:
-
-# 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"
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-{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
-

-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]

-If you want to fully migrate from provisioning to provctl + prov-ecosystem:
-
-- Phase 1: Use integrations for new features (runtime, backup, gitops)
-- Phase 2: Migrate SSH operations to
provctl-machines
-- Phase 3: Adopt provctl CLI for machine orchestration
-- Phase 4: Use prov-ecosystem crates directly where beneficial
-
-Currently we implement Phase 1 with selective integration.

-
-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.
-
-The system consists of two main components:
-
-- Core Nickel Package: Distributable core provisioning schemas with type safety
-- Module Loader System: Dynamic discovery and loading of extensions
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-
-- Taskservs: Infrastructure services (kubernetes, redis, postgres, etc.)
-- Providers: Cloud providers (upcloud, aws, local)
-- Clusters: Complete configurations (buildkit, web, oci-reg)

-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-| 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 |
-
-
-
-
-- Help commands: 30-40% faster (40ms vs 60ms with full config)
-- Workspace operations: 50% faster (uses minimal loader)
-- Status checks: Nearly instant (23ms)

-
-
-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
-
-
-The full loader returns comprehensive configuration with:
-
-- Workspace settings
-- Provider configurations
-- Platform settings
-- Interpolated variables
-- Validation results
-- Environment-specific overrides
-
-
-
-
-- Commands are already categorized (help, workspace, server, etc.)
-- Help system uses fast path (minimal loader)
-- Infrastructure commands use full path (full loader)
-- No changes needed to command implementations
-
-
-When creating new modules:
-
-- Check if full config is needed
-- If not, use
loader-minimal.nu functions only
-- If yes, use
get-config from main config accessor
-
-
-
-
-- Cache full config for 60 seconds
-- Reuse config across related commands
-- Potential: Additional 50% improvement
-
-
-
-- Create thin config profiles for common scenarios
-- Pre-loaded templates for workspace/infra combinations
-- Fast switching between profiles
-
-
-
-- Load workspace and provider configs in parallel
-- Async validation and interpolation
-- Potential: 30% improvement for full config load
-
-
-
-Only add if:
-
-- Used by help/status commands
-- Doesn’t require full config
-- Performance-critical path
-
-
-
-- Changes are backward compatible
-- Validate against existing config files
-- Update tests in test suite

-Last Updated: 2025-12-15
-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

-└───────────────────┬─────────────────────────────

-┌───────────────────────────────┐
-│ Nushell Business Logic │
-│ nu -c “use servers/create.nu”│
-│ │
-│ Executes actual provider │
-│ API calls, configuration │
-└───────────────────────────────┘
-The Flow in Detail
-
-- User Command:
-
-provisioning server create wuji –orchestrated
-2. Nushell CLI submits to orchestrator:
-
-http post http://localhost:9090/workflows/servers/create {
-infra: “wuji”
-params: {…}
-}
-
-
-- 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!

-
-Version: 1.0.0
-Date: 2025-10-08
-Status: Implemented
-
-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.
-
-
-The middleware chain is applied in this specific order to ensure proper security:
-┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
-│ Incoming HTTP Request │
-└────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────┘
- │
- ▼
- ┌────────────────────────────────┐
- │ 1. Rate Limiting Middleware │
- │ - Per-IP request limits │
- │ - Sliding window │
- │ - Exempt IPs │
- └────────────┬───────────────────┘
- │ (429 if exceeded)
- ▼
- ┌────────────────────────────────┐
- │ 2. Authentication Middleware │
- │ - Extract Bearer token │
- │ - Validate JWT signature │
- │ - Check expiry, issuer, aud │
- │ - Check revocation │
- └────────────┬───────────────────┘
- │ (401 if invalid)
- ▼
- ┌────────────────────────────────┐
- │ 3. MFA Verification │
- │ - Check MFA status in token │
- │ - Enforce for sensitive ops │
- │ - Production deployments │
- │ - All DELETE operations │
- └────────────┬───────────────────┘
- │ (403 if required but missing)
- ▼
- ┌────────────────────────────────┐
- │ 4. Authorization Middleware │
- │ - Build Cedar request │
- │ - Evaluate policies │
- │ - Check permissions │
- │ - Log decision │
- └────────────┬───────────────────┘
- │ (403 if denied)
- ▼
- ┌────────────────────────────────┐
- │ 5. Audit Logging Middleware │
- │ - Log complete request │
- │ - User, action, resource │
- │ - Authorization decision │
- │ - Response status │
- └────────────┬───────────────────┘
- │
- ▼
- ┌────────────────────────────────┐
- │ Protected Handler │
- │ - Access security context │
- │ - Execute business logic │
- └────────────────────────────────┘
-
-
-
-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 { ... }
-}
-
-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:
-
-- Extract
Authorization: Bearer <token> header
-- Validate JWT with TokenValidator
-- Build SecurityContext
-- Inject into request extensions
-- Continue to next middleware or return 401
-
-Error Responses:
-
-401 Unauthorized: Missing/invalid token, expired, revoked
-403 Forbidden: Insufficient permissions
-
-
-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; }
- // ...
-}
-
-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
-
-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,
-}
-
-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

-- No clear installation mechanism
-- Missing package management system
-- Undefined installation paths
-
-
--
-
Documentation Fragmentation
-
-- Multiple
docs/ locations
-- Scattered README files
-- No unified documentation structure
-
-
--
-
Configuration Complexity
-
-- TOML-based system is good, but paths are unclear
-- User vs system config separation needs clarification
-- Installation paths not standardized

-Provisioning had evolved from a monolithic structure into a complex system with mixed organizational patterns. The original structure had multiple issues:
-
-- Provider-specific code scattered: Cloud provider implementations were mixed with core logic
-- Task services fragmented: Infrastructure services lacked consistent structure
-- Domain boundaries unclear: No clear separation between core, providers, and services
-- Development artifacts mixed with distribution: User-facing tools mixed with development utilities
-- Deep call stack limitations: Nushell’s runtime limitations required architectural solutions
-- 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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-- Domain Separation: Each major component has clear boundaries and responsibilities
-- Hybrid Architecture: Rust for performance-critical coordination, Nushell for business logic
-- Provider Abstraction: Standardized interfaces across cloud providers
-- Service Modularity: Reusable task services with consistent structure
-- Clean Distribution: Development tools separated from user-facing components
-- Configuration Hierarchy: Systematic config management with interpolation support
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-Keep all code in a single flat structure with minimal organization.
-Rejected: Would not solve maintainability or scalability issues. Continued technical debt accumulation.
-
-Split into completely separate services with network communication.
-Rejected: Overhead too high for single-machine deployment use case. Would complicate installation and configuration.
-
-Organize by implementation language (rust/, nushell/, kcl/).
-Rejected: Does not align with functional boundaries. Cross-cutting concerns would be scattered.
-
-Organize by user-facing features (servers/, clusters/, networking/).
-Rejected: Would duplicate cross-cutting infrastructure and provider logic across features.
-
-Organize by architectural layers (presentation/, business/, data/).
-Rejected: Does not align with domain complexity. Infrastructure provisioning has different layering needs.

-
-Use traditional dotfile approach (~/.provisioning/).
-Rejected: Clutters home directory and provides less structured organization. Harder to backup and migrate.
-
-Follow XDG specification for config/data/cache separation.
-Rejected: While standards-compliant, would fragment user data across multiple directories making management complex.
-
-Each user gets containerized environment.
-Rejected: Too heavy for simple configuration isolation. Adds deployment complexity without sufficient benefits.
-
-Store all user configuration in database.
-Rejected: Adds dependency complexity and makes backup/restore more difficult. Over-engineering for configuration needs.

-Provisioning encountered fundamental limitations with a pure Nushell implementation that required architectural solutions:
-
-- Deep Call Stack Limitations: Nushell’s
open command fails in deep call contexts
-(enumerate | each), causing “Type not supported” errors in template.nu:71
-- Performance Bottlenecks: Complex workflow orchestration hitting Nushell’s performance limits
-- Concurrency Constraints: Limited parallel processing capabilities in Nushell for batch operations
-- Integration Complexity: Need for REST API endpoints and external system integration
-- State Management: Complex state tracking and persistence requirements beyond Nushell’s capabilities
-- Business Logic Preservation: 65+ existing Nushell files with domain expertise that shouldn’t be rewritten
-- 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
-
-
-Implement a Hybrid Rust/Nushell Architecture with clear separation of concerns:
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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

-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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

-- 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

-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-Use Python for coordination and shell scripts for operations.
-Rejected: Loses type safety and configuration-driven advantages of current system. Python adds dependency complexity.
-
-Run Nushell and coordination layer in separate containers.
-Rejected: Adds deployment complexity and network communication overhead. Complicates local development significantly.

-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:
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
Technical Debt
-
-- 10+ lines of repetitive flag handling per command
-- No separation of concerns
-- Poor code reusability
-- Difficult to test individual command handlers
-
-
--
-
User Experience Issues
-
-- No bi-directional help system
-- Inconsistent command shortcuts
-- Help system not fully integrated
-
-
-
-
-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)
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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.)
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-- Routing →
dispatcher.nu
-- Flag parsing →
flags.nu
-- Business logic →
commands/*.nu
-- Help system →
help_system.nu (existing)
-
-
-Each module has ONE clear purpose:
-
-- Command handlers execute specific domains
-- Dispatcher routes to correct handler
-- Flags module normalizes all inputs
-
-
-Eliminated repetition:
-
-- Flag handling: 50+ instances → 1 function
-- Command routing: Scattered logic → Command registry
-- Error handling: Consistent across all domains
-
-
-
-- Open for extension: Add new handlers easily
-- Closed for modification: Core routing unchanged
-
-
-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
-]
-
-
-
-Phase 1: Foundation
-
-- ✅ Created
commands/ directory structure
-- ✅ Created
flags.nu with common flag handling
-- ✅ Created initial command handlers (infrastructure, utilities, configuration)
-- ✅ Created
dispatcher.nu with routing logic
-- ✅ Refactored main file (1,329 → 211 lines)
-- ✅ Tested basic functionality
-
-Phase 2: Completion
-
-- ✅ Fixed bi-directional help (
provisioning ws help now works)
-- ✅ Created remaining handlers (orchestration, development, workspace, generation)
-- ✅ Removed duplicate code from dispatcher
-- ✅ Added comprehensive test suite
-- ✅ Verified all shortcuts work
-
-
-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
-}
-
-
-Comprehensive shortcut system with 30+ mappings:
-Infrastructure:
-
-s → server
-t, task → taskserv
-cl → cluster
-i → infra
-
-Orchestration:
-
-wf, flow → workflow
-bat → batch
-orch → orchestrator
-
-Development:
-
-mod → module
-lyr → layer
-
-Workspace:
-
-ws → workspace
-tpl, tmpl → template
-
-
-Comprehensive test suite created (tests/test_provisioning_refactor.nu):
-
-
-- ✅ Main help display
-- ✅ Category help (infrastructure, orchestration, development, workspace)
-- ✅ Bi-directional help routing
-- ✅ All command shortcuts
-- ✅ Category shortcut help
-- ✅ Command routing to correct handlers

-This ADR documents a major architectural improvement completed on 2025-09-30.
-
-Status: Accepted
-Date: 2025-10-08
-Deciders: Architecture Team
-Related: ADR-006 (KMS Service Integration)
-
-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.
-
-
-- Complexity: Supporting 4 different backends increased maintenance burden
-- Dependencies: AWS SDK added significant compile time (~30 s) and binary size
-- Confusion: No clear guidance on which backend to use when
-- Cloud Lock-in: AWS KMS dependency limited infrastructure flexibility
-- Operational Overhead: Vault requires server setup even for simple dev environments
-- Code Duplication: Similar logic implemented 4 different ways
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-Simplify the KMS service to support only 2 backends:
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
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)
-
-
-
-
-- Simpler Code: 2 backends instead of 4 reduces complexity by 50%
-- Faster Compilation: Removing AWS SDK saves ~30 seconds compile time
-- Clear Guidance: Age = dev, Cosmian = prod (no confusion)
-- Offline Development: Age works without network connectivity
-- Better Security: Cosmian provides confidential computing (TEE)
-- No Cloud Lock-in: Not dependent on AWS infrastructure
-- Easier Testing: Age backend requires no setup
-- Reduced Dependencies: Fewer external crates to maintain
-
-
-
-- Migration Required: Existing Vault/AWS KMS users must migrate
-- Learning Curve: Teams must learn Age and Cosmian
-- Cosmian Dependency: Production depends on Cosmian availability
-- Cost: Cosmian may have licensing costs (cloud or self-hosted)
-
-
-
-- Feature Parity: Cosmian provides all features Vault/AWS had
-- API Compatibility: Encrypt/decrypt API remains primarily the same
-- Configuration Change: TOML config structure updated but similar

-Status: Accepted
-Date: 2025-10-08
-Deciders: Architecture Team
-Tags: security, authorization, cedar, policy-engine
-
-The Provisioning platform requires fine-grained authorization controls to manage access to infrastructure resources across multiple environments
-(development, staging, production). The authorization system must:
-
-- Support complex authorization rules (MFA, IP restrictions, time windows, approvals)
-- Be auditable and version-controlled
-- Allow hot-reload of policies without restart
-- Integrate with JWT tokens for identity
-- Scale to thousands of authorization decisions per second
-- Be maintainable by security team without code changes
-
-Traditional code-based authorization (if/else statements) is difficult to audit, maintain, and scale.
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-Chosen Option: Option 3 - Cedar Policy Engine
-
-
-- Type Safety: Cedar’s schema validation prevents policy errors before deployment

-
-
-
-- ❌ Learning Curve: Team must learn Cedar policy language
-- ❌ New Technology: Cedar is relatively new (2023)
-- ❌ Ecosystem: Smaller community than OPA
-- ❌ Tooling: Limited IDE support compared to Rego
-
-
-
-- 🔶 Migration: Existing authorization logic needs migration to Cedar
-- 🔶 Policy Complexity: Complex rules may be harder to express

-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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

-Architecture Team: Approved
-Security Team: Approved (pending penetration test)
-Compliance Team: Approved (pending audit)
-Engineering Team: Approved
-
-Date: 2025-10-08
-Version: 1.0.0
-Status: Implemented and Production-Ready
-
-Status: Accepted
-Date: 2025-12-03
-Decision Makers: Architecture Team
-Implementation: Multi-phase migration (KCL workspace configs + template reorganization)
-
-
-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.
-
-
-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 |
-
-
-
-
-
-Define and document the three-format approach through:
-
-- ADR-010 (this document) - Rationale and strategy
-- CLAUDE.md updates - Quick reference for developers
-- Configuration hierarchy - Explicit precedence rules
-
-
-Migrate workspace configuration from YAML to KCL:
-
-- Create comprehensive workspace configuration schema in KCL
-- Implement backward-compatible config loader (KCL first, fallback to YAML)
-- Provide migration script to convert existing workspaces
-- 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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-Why KCL over YAML or TOML?
-
--
-
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"
-
-
--
-
Schema-First Development: Schemas are first-class citizens
-
-- Document expected structure upfront
-- IDE support for auto-completion
-- Enforce required fields and value ranges
-
-
--
-
Immutable by Default: Infrastructure configurations are immutable
-
-- Prevents accidental mutations
-- Better for reproducible deployments
-- Aligns with PAP principle: “configuration-driven, not hardcoded”
-
-
--
-
Complex Validation: KCL supports sophisticated validation rules
-
-- Semantic versioning validation
-- Dependency checking
-- Cross-field validation
-- Range constraints on numeric values
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
Existing Schemas: provisioning/kcl/generator/declaration.ncl already defines complete workspace schemas
-
-- No design work needed
-- Production-ready schemas
-- Well-tested patterns
-
-
-
-
-Why TOML for settings?
-
--
-
Hierarchical Structure: Native support for nested configurations
-[http]
-use_curl = false
-timeout = 30
-
-[debug]
-enabled = false
-log_level = "info"
-
-
--
-
Interpolation Support: Dynamic variable substitution
-base_path = "/Users/home/provisioning"
-cache_path = "{{base_path}}/.cache"
-
-
--
-
Industry Standard: Widely used for application configuration (Rust, Python, Go)
-
--
-
Human Readable: Clear, explicit, easy to edit
-
--
-
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
-
-
-Why YAML for metadata?
-
--
-
Kubernetes Compatibility: YAML is K8s standard
-
-- K8s manifests use YAML
-- Consistent with ecosystem
-- Familiar to DevOps engineers
-
-
--
-
Lightweight: Good for simple data structures
-workspace:
- name: "librecloud"
- version: "1.0.0"
- created: "2025-10-06T12:29:43Z"
-
-
--
-
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)
-
-
-
-When loading configuration, use this precedence (highest to lowest):
-
--
-
Runtime Arguments (highest priority)
-
-- CLI flags passed to commands
-- Explicit user input
-
-
--
-
Environment Variables (PROVISIONING_*)
-
-- Override system settings
-- Deployment-specific overrides
-- Secrets via env vars
-
-
--
-
User Configuration (Centralized)
-
-- User preferences:
~/.config/provisioning/user_config.yaml
-- User workspace overrides:
workspace/config/local-overrides.toml

-- Workspace KCL config:
workspace/config/provisioning.ncl
-- Platform services:
workspace/config/platform/*.toml
-- Provider configs:
workspace/config/providers/*.toml
-
-
--
-
System Defaults (lowest priority)
-
-- System config:
provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml
-- Schema defaults: defined in KCL schemas
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
--
-
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)
-}
-
-
--
-
Automatic Migration: Migration script converts YAML/KCL → Nickel
-provisioning workspace migrate-config --all
-
-
--
-
Validation: New KCL configs validated against schemas
-
-
-
-
--
-
Generate KCL: Workspace initialization creates .k files
-provisioning workspace create my-workspace
-# Creates: workspace/my-workspace/config/provisioning.ncl
-
-
--
-
Use Existing Schemas: Leverage provisioning/kcl/generator/declaration.ncl
-
--
-
Schema Validation: Automatic validation during config load
-
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-✅ 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
-
-⚠️ Learning Curve: Developers must understand three formats
-⚠️ Migration Effort: Existing YAML configs need conversion
-⚠️ Tooling Requirements: KCL compiler needed (already a dependency)
-
-
-- Documentation: Clear guidelines in CLAUDE.md
-- Backward Compatibility: YAML support maintained during transition
-- Automation: Migration scripts for existing workspaces
-- Gradual Migration: No hard cutoff, both formats supported for extended period
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-✅ Correct file classification
-✅ KCL validation passes completely
-✅ Clear template organization
-✅ Easier to discover and maintain templates

-Last Updated: 2025-12-03
-
-Status: Implemented
-Date: 2025-12-15
-Decision Makers: Architecture Team
-Implementation: Complete for platform schemas (100%)
-
-
-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:
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
Performance Overhead: Compile-time validation adds latency
-
-- Schema validation happens at compile time
-- Large configuration files slow down evaluation
-- No lazy evaluation built-in
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-Adopt Nickel as the primary infrastructure-as-code language for all schema definitions, configuration composition, and deployment declarations.
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
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)
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
Two Deployment Modes:
-
-- Development: Fast iteration with relative imports (Single Source of Truth)
-- Production: Frozen snapshots with immutable, self-contained deployment packages
-
-

-
-| 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 |
-
-
-
-
-- 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.
-
-
-
-- 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,
-}
-
-
-
-- 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 ✅
-
-
-
-- 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

-
-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:
-
-- Implement Nickel directly using pure Rust (
nickel-lang-core crate)
-- Wrap the official Nickel CLI (
nickel command)
-
-
-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
-
-
-Implement the nu_plugin_nickel plugin as a CLI wrapper that invokes the external nickel command.

-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

-| 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 |

-
-
-
-Using nickel-lang-core directly would require the plugin to:
-
--
-
Configure import search paths:
-// Where should Nickel look for modules?
-// Current directory? Workspace? System paths?
-// This is complex and configuration-dependent
-
--
-
Access standard library:
-// Where is the Nickel stdlib installed?
-// How to handle different Nickel versions?
-// How to provide builtins?
-
--
-
Manage module evaluation context:
-// Set up evaluation environment
-// Configure cache locations
-// Initialize type checker
-// This is essentially re-implementing CLI logic
-
--
-
Maintain compatibility:
-
-- Every Nickel version change requires review
-- Risk of subtle behavioral differences
-- Duplicate bug fixes and features
-- Two implementations to maintain
-
-
-
-
-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.
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-Pros: No external dependency
-Cons: Undocumented API, high risk, maintenance burden
-Decision: REJECTED - Too risky
-
-Pros: Flexibility
-Cons: Adds complexity, dual code paths, confusing behavior
-Decision: REJECTED - Over-engineering
-
-Pros: Standalone
-Cons: WASM support unclear, additional infrastructure
-Decision: REJECTED - Immature
-
-Pros: Uses official interface
-Cons: LSP not designed for evaluation, wrong abstraction
-Decision: REJECTED - Inappropriate tool

nickel-export: Export/evaluate Nickel file
-nickel-export json /path/to/file.ncl
-nickel-export yaml /path/to/file.ncl
-
-
--
-
nickel-eval: Evaluate with automatic caching (for config loader)
-nickel-eval /workspace/config.ncl
-
-
--
-
nickel-format: Format Nickel files
-nickel-format /path/to/file.ncl
-
-
--
-
nickel-validate: Validate Nickel files/project
-nickel-validate /path/to/project
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-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/
-
-Plugin correctly processes JSON output:
-
-- Invokes:
nickel export /file.ncl --format json
-- Receives: JSON string from stdout
-- Parses: serde_json::Value
-- Converts:
json_value_to_nu_value() (recursive)
-- Returns: nu_protocol::Value::Record (not string!)
-
-This enables Nushell cell path access:
-nickel-export json /config.ncl | .database.host # ✅ Works
-
-
-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
-
-
-Plugin integrates with provisioning config system:
-
-- Nickel path auto-detected:
which nickel
-- Cache location: platform-specific
cache_dir()
-- Errors: consistent with provisioning patterns
-
-
-

-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.
-
-Current limitations:
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
-
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
Credential Setup:
-# Current: Insecure and basic
-let api_key = input "API Key: " # Shows in terminal history
-let region = input "Region: " # No validation
-
-
--
-
Configuration Wizards:
-
-- Database connection setup (host, port, credentials, SSL)
-- Network configuration (CIDR blocks, subnets, gateways)
-- Security policies (encryption, access control, audit)
-
-
--
-
Guided Deployments:
-
-- Multi-step infrastructure provisioning
-- Service selection with dependencies
-- Environment-specific overrides
-
-
-
-
-
-- ✅ 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

-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.

-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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

-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.
-
-Existing Approach:
-
--
-
SOPS + Age: Static secrets encrypted in config files
-
-- Good: Version-controlled, gitops-friendly
-- Limited: Static rotation, no audit trail, manual key distribution
-
-
--
-
Nickel Configuration: Declarative secrets references
-
-- Good: Type-safe configuration
-- Limited: Cannot generate dynamic secrets, no lifecycle management
-
-
--
-
Manual Secret Injection: Environment variables, CLI flags
-
-- Good: Simple for development
-- Limited: No security guarantees, prone to leakage
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-
--
-
Dynamic Database Credentials:
-
-- Generate short-lived DB credentials for applications
-- Automatic rotation based on policies
-- Revocation on application termination
-
-
--
-
Cloud Provider API Keys:
-
-- Centralized storage with access control
-- Audit trail of credential usage
-- Automatic rotation schedules
-
-
--
-
Service-to-Service Authentication:
-
-- Dynamic tokens for microservices
-- Short-lived certificates for mTLS
-- Automatic renewal before expiration
-
-
--
-
SSH Key Management:
-
-- Temporal SSH keys (ADR-009 SSH integration)
-- Centralized certificate authority
-- Audit trail of SSH access
-
-
--
-
Encryption Key Management:
-
-- Master encryption keys for data at rest
-- Key rotation and versioning
-- Integration with KMS systems
-
-
-
-
-
-- ✅ 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
-
-
-Integrate SecretumVault as the centralized secrets management system for the provisioning platform.

-SOPS is excellent for static secrets in git, but inadequate for:
-
-- Dynamic Credentials: Cannot generate temporary DB passwords
-- Audit Trail: Git commits are insufficient for compliance
-- Rotation Policies: Manual rotation is error-prone
-- Access Control: No runtime policy enforcement
-- Secret Lifecycle: Cannot track usage or revoke access
-- 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
-
-
-HashiCorp Vault Limitations:
-
-- License Change: BSL (Business Source License) - proprietary for production
-- Not Rust Native: Go binary, subprocess overhead
-- Custom Policy Language: HCL policies, not Cedar (provisioning standard)
-- Complex Deployment: Heavy operational burden
-- Vendor Lock-In: HashiCorp ecosystem dependency
-
-SecretumVault Advantages:
-
-- Rust Native: Zero-cost integration, no subprocess spawning
-- Cedar Policies: Consistent with ADR-008 authorization model
-- Lightweight: Smaller binary, lower resource usage
-- Open Source: Permissive license, community-driven
-- Provisioning-First: Designed for IaC workflows
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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)
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-Pros: No new infrastructure, simple
-Cons: No dynamic secrets, no audit trail, manual rotation
-Decision: REJECTED - Insufficient for production security
-
-Pros: Mature, feature-rich, widely adopted
-Cons: BSL license, Go binary, HCL policies (not Cedar), complex deployment
-Decision: REJECTED - License and integration concerns

-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.
-
-Current state challenges:
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
--
-
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
-
-
-
-
-
--
-
Natural Language to Configuration:
-
-- User: “Create a production PostgreSQL cluster with encryption and daily backups”
-- AI: Generates validated Nickel configuration
-
-
--
-
AI-Assisted Form Filling:
-
-- User starts typing in typdialog web form
-- AI suggests values based on context
-- AI explains validation errors in plain language
-
-
--
-
Intelligent Troubleshooting:
-
-- Deployment fails
-- AI analyzes logs and suggests fixes
-- AI generates corrected configuration
-
-
--
-
Configuration Optimization:
-
-- AI analyzes workload patterns
-- AI suggests performance improvements
-- AI detects security misconfigurations
-
-
--
-
Learning from Operations:
-
-- AI indexes past deployments
-- AI suggests configurations based on similar workloads
-- AI predicts potential issues
-
-
-
-
-The system integrates multiple AI components:
-
-- typdialog-ai: AI-assisted form interactions
-- typdialog-ag: AI agents for autonomous operations
-- typdialog-prov-gen: AI-powered configuration generation
-- platform/crates/ai-service: Core AI service backend
-- platform/crates/mcp-server: Model Context Protocol server
-- platform/crates/rag: Retrieval-Augmented Generation system
-
-
-
-- ✅ 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
-
-
-Integrate a comprehensive AI system consisting of:
-
-- AI-Assisted Interfaces (typdialog-ai)
-- Autonomous AI Agents (typdialog-ag)

-| 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 |
-
-
-
-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.
-
-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)
-
-
-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)
-
-
-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)
-
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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)
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-Pros: Simpler, no LLM dependencies
-Cons: Steep learning curve, slow provisioning, manual troubleshooting
-Decision: REJECTED - Poor user experience (10x slower provisioning, high error rate)
-
-Pros: Existing tools, well-known UX
-Cons: Not schema-aware, generates invalid configs, no validation
-Decision: REJECTED - Inadequate for infrastructure (correctness critical)
-
-Pros: Lower risk (AI doesn’t generate configs)
-Cons: Missed opportunity for 10x productivity gains
-Decision: REJECTED - Too conservative
-
-Pros: Maximum automation
-Cons: Unacceptable risk for infrastructure changes
-Decision: REJECTED - Safety and compliance requirements
-
-Pros: Simpler integration
-Cons: Vendor lock-in, no flexibility for different use cases
-Decision: REJECTED - Multi-provider abstraction provides flexibility

-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)

-This document describes the complete Nickel workflow system. Both Nushell and Nickel workflows are 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
-
-Usage:
-# List available workflows

-
-- 🔵 Workflow library expansion
-- 🔵 Performance improvements
-- 🔵 Advanced orchestration patterns
-- 🔵 Community contributions
-
-
-Until Nickel workflows are available, use:
-
--
-
Nushell Workflows (primary)
-provisioning workflow execute deployment.nu
-
-
--
-
Manual Commands
-provisioning server create --infra production
-provisioning taskserv create kubernetes
-provisioning verify
-
-
--
-
Batch Workflows (KCL-based, legacy)
-
-- See historical documentation for legacy approach
-
-
-
-
-When Nickel workflows become available:
-
--
-
Backward Compatibility
-
-- Nushell workflows continue to work
-- No forced migration
-
-
--
-
Gradual Migration
-
-- Convert complex Nushell workflows first
-- Keep simple workflows as-is
-- Hybrid approach supported
-
-
--
-
Migration Tools
-
-- Automated Nushell → Nickel conversion (planned)
-- Manual migration guide
-- Community examples

-- Study current Nickel configurations:
provisioning/schemas/main.ncl
-- Read ADR-011: Nickel Migration
-- Review Nushell workflows:
provisioning/core/nulib/workflows/
-- Join design discussion for Nickel workflows
-
-
-Last Updated: January 2025
-Status: PLANNED - Nushell workflows available as interim solution
-Estimated Availability: Q2-Q3 2025
-Priority: High (production workflows depend on this)
-
-This document provides comprehensive documentation for all REST API endpoints in provisioning.
-
-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
-
-
-
-- Orchestrator:
http://localhost:9090
-- Control Center:
http://localhost:9080
-
-
-
-All API endpoints (except health checks) require JWT authentication via the Authorization header:
-Authorization: Bearer <jwt_token>
+Using UpCloud or AWS? Change provider:
+metadata.provider = "upcloud" # or "aws"
-
-POST /auth/login
-Content-Type: application/json
+
+# Validate Nickel schema
+nickel typecheck infra/demo-server.ncl
+# Validate provisioning configuration
+provisioning validate config
+
+# Preview what will be created
+provisioning server create --check --infra demo-server
+
+Expected output:

-
-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"
-
-
-The API uses header-based versioning:
-Accept: application/vnd.provisioning.v1+json
-
-Current version: v1
-
-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
-
-
-This document provides comprehensive documentation for the WebSocket API used for real-time monitoring, event streaming, and live updates in
-provisioning.
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-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');
-
-
-
-Real-time metrics streaming endpoint.
-Features:
-
-- Live system metrics
-- Performance data
-- Resource utilization
-- Custom metric streams
-
-
-Live log streaming endpoint.
-Features:
-
-- Real-time log tailing
-- Log level filtering
-- Component-specific logs
-- Search and filtering
-
-
-
-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
- }));
-};
-
-
-
-- Initial Connection: Client connects with token parameter
-- Token Validation: Server validates JWT token
-- Authorization: Server checks token permissions
-- Subscription: Client subscribes to event types
-- Event Stream: Server begins streaming events

-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": { ... }
- }
- ]
-}
-
-
-Enable message compression for large events:
-const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:9090/ws?token=jwt&compression=true');
-
-
-The server implements rate limiting to prevent abuse:
-
-- Maximum connections per user: 10
-- Maximum messages per second: 100
-- Maximum subscription events: 50
-
-
-
-
-- All connections require valid JWT tokens
-- Tokens are validated on connection and periodically renewed
-- Event access is controlled by user roles and permissions
-
-
-
-- All incoming messages are validated against schemas
-- Malformed messages are rejected
-- Rate limiting prevents DoS attacks
-
-
-
-- 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.
-
-This document provides comprehensive guidance for developing extensions for provisioning, including providers, task services, and cluster configurations.
-
-Provisioning supports three types of extensions:
-
-- Providers: Cloud infrastructure providers (AWS, UpCloud, Local, etc.)
-- Task Services: Infrastructure components (Kubernetes, Cilium, Containerd, etc.)
-- Clusters: Complete deployment configurations (BuildKit, CI/CD, etc.)
-
-All extensions follow a standardized structure and API for seamless integration.

-Extensions are registered in the system through:
-
-- Directory Structure: Placed in appropriate directories (providers/, taskservs/, cluster/)
-- Metadata Files:
metadata.toml with extension information
-- Schema Files:
schemas/ directory with Nickel schema files
-
-
-
-Registers a new extension with the system.
-Parameters:
-
-path: Path to extension directory
-type: Extension type (provider, taskserv, cluster)
-
-
-Removes extension from the registry.
-
-Lists all registered extensions, optionally filtered by type.
-
-
-
-- Structure Validation: Required files and directories exist
-- Schema Validation: Nickel schemas are valid
-- Interface Validation: Required functions are implemented
-- Dependency Validation: Dependencies are available
-- Version Validation: Version constraints are met
-
-
-Validates extension structure and implementation.

-Provisioning provides SDKs in multiple languages to facilitate integration:
-
-
-- Python SDK (
provisioning-client) - Full-featured Python client
-- JavaScript/TypeScript SDK (
@provisioning/client) - Node.js and browser support
-- Go SDK (
go-provisioning-client) - Go client library
-- Rust SDK (
provisioning-rs) - Native Rust integration
-
-
-
-- Java SDK - Community-maintained Java client
-- C# SDK - .NET client library
-- PHP SDK - PHP client library

-complete client implementations, error handling strategies, performance optimizations, and common integration patterns.
-
-API documentation for creating and using infrastructure providers.
-
-Providers handle cloud-specific operations and resource provisioning. The provisioning platform supports multiple cloud providers through a unified API.
-
-
-- UpCloud - European cloud provider
-- AWS - Amazon Web Services
-- Local - Local development environment
-
-
-All providers must implement the following interface:
-
-# Provider initialization
-export def init [] -> record { ... }
+
+
+# Workspace management
+provisioning workspace init <name>
+provisioning workspace list
+provisioning workspace switch <name>
# 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 { ... }
-
-
-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",
- },

-This document describes the path resolution system used throughout the provisioning infrastructure for discovering configurations, extensions, and
-resolving workspace paths.
-
-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
-
-
-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)
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-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"
-
-
-Discovers extension paths (providers, taskservs, clusters).

-{{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)

-
-- Use Path Caching: Enable caching for frequently accessed paths
-- Batch Discovery: Discover all extensions at once rather than individually
-- Lazy Loading: Load extension configurations only when needed
-- Environment Detection: Cache environment detection results

-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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.
-
-This guide focuses on creating extensions tailored to specific infrastructure requirements, business needs, and organizational constraints.

-This comprehensive guide covers all aspects of creating infrastructure-specific extensions, from assessment and planning to implementation and deployment.
-
-Target Audience: Developers working on the provisioning CLI
-Last Updated: 2025-09-30
-Related: ADR-006 CLI Refactoring
-
-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.
-
-
-- Separation of Concerns: Routing, flag parsing, and business logic are separated
-- Domain-Driven Design: Commands organized by domain (infrastructure, orchestration, etc.)
-- DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself): Centralized flag handling eliminates code duplication
-- Single Responsibility: Each module has one clear purpose
-- Open/Closed Principle: Easy to extend, no need to modify core routing

-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 |

-| configuration | configuration.nu | Environment, settings, initialization |
-| utilities | utilities.nu | SSH, SOPS, cache, providers, utilities |
-| generation | generation.nu | Generate commands (server, taskserv, etc.) |
-
-
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-
-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
-}
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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) |
-
-
-
-If you need to add a new flag:
-
-- Update main
provisioning file to accept the flag
-- Update
flags.nu:parse_common_flags to normalize it
-- 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)..."
-}
-
-
-
-
-- 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)
-
-
-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.
-
-
-# Run comprehensive test suite
-nu tests/test_provisioning_refactor.nu
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-}
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-
-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 $args "module_name" --exec
-}
-
-
-Use Case: Need to validate input before execution
-def handle_validated_command [ops: string, flags: record] {
- # Validate
- let first_arg = ($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 $args "module_name" --exec
-}
-
-
-Use Case: Command has multiple subcommands (like server create, server delete)
-def handle_complex_command [ops: string, flags: record] {
- let subcommand = ($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
- }
- }
-}
-
-
-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
- }
-}
-
-
-
-Each handler should do one thing well:
-
-- ✅ Good:
handle_server manages all server operations
-- ❌ Bad:
handle_server also manages clusters and taskservs
-
-
-# ❌ 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"
-
-
-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
-}
-
-
-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
-
-
-Before committing:
-
-
-
-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 *
-
-
-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"
-}
-
-
-Cause: Shortcut not in command registry
-Fix: Add to dispatcher.nu:get_command_registry:
-"myshortcut" => "domain command"
-
-
-Cause: Not using build_module_args
-Fix: Use centralized flag builder:
-let args = build_module_args $flags $ops
-run_module $args "module" --exec

-The provisioning project employs a multi-language, multi-component architecture requiring specific development workflows to maintain consistency,
-quality, and efficiency.
-Key Technologies:
+
+Comprehensive walkthrough deploying production-ready infrastructure with the Provisioning platform.
+
+This guide walks through deploying a complete Kubernetes cluster with storage and networking
+on a cloud provider. You’ll learn workspace management, Nickel schema structure, provider
+configuration, dependency resolution, and validation workflows.
+
+What we’ll build:
-- Nushell: Primary scripting and automation language
-- Rust: High-performance system components
-- KCL: Configuration language and schemas
-- TOML: Configuration files
-- Jinja2: Template engine
+- 3-node Kubernetes cluster (1 control plane, 2 workers)
+- Cilium CNI for networking
+- Rook-Ceph for persistent storage
+- Container runtime (containerd)
+- Automated dependency resolution
+- Health monitoring
-Development Principles:
+
-- Configuration-Driven: Never hardcode, always configure
-- Hybrid Architecture: Rust for performance, Nushell for flexibility
-- Test-First: Comprehensive testing at all levels
-- Documentation-Driven: Code and APIs are self-documenting
+- Platform installed
+- Cloud provider credentials configured (UpCloud or AWS recommended)
+- 30-60 minutes for complete deployment

-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.
-
-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.
-
-
-- Overview
-- Existing System Integration
-- API Compatibility and Versioning
-- Database Migration Strategies
-- Deployment Considerations
-- Monitoring and Observability
-- Legacy System Bridge
-- Migration Pathways
-- Troubleshooting Integration Issues
-
-
-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

-- Commit frequently - Small, atomic commits
-- Document issues - Track any problems encountered
-- Ask for review - Get feedback at phase boundaries

-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.
-
-
-- Overview
-- New Structure vs Legacy
-- Core Directories
-- Development Workspace
-- File Naming Conventions
-- Navigation Guide
-- Migration Path
-
-
-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.

-
-This structure represents a significant evolution in the project’s organization while maintaining complete backward compatibility and providing
-powerful new development capabilities.
-
-
-Implemented graceful CTRL-C handling for sudo password prompts during server creation/generation operations.
-
-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:
-
-- Exit with code 1 (sudo failed)
-- Propagate null values up the call stack
-- Show cryptic Nushell errors about pipeline failures
-- 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.
-
-
-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.
-
-
--
-
Detection Layer (ssh.nu helper functions)
-
-- Detects sudo cancellation via exit code + stderr
-- Returns
false instead of calling exit
-
-
--
-
Propagation Layer (ssh.nu core functions)
-
-on_server_ssh(): Returns false on cancellation
-server_ssh(): Uses reduce to propagate failures
-
-
--
-
Handling Layer (create.nu, generate.nu)
-
-- Checks return values
-- Displays user-friendly messages
-- Returns
false to caller
-
-
-
-
-
-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

- } else if $result.exit_code != 0 and $result.exit_code != 1 {
- error make {msg: $"($operation_name) failed: ($result.stderr)"}
- }

-
-Design Decision: Return bool instead of throwing error or calling exit. This allows the caller to decide how to handle cancellation.

- print " Tip: Run 'sudo -v' beforehand to cache credentials\n"
-}
-
-Design Decision: Warn users upfront so they’re not surprised by the password prompt.
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-let ssh_result = (on_server_ssh $settings $server "pub" "create" false)
-if not $ssh_result {
- _print "\n✗ Server creation cancelled"
- return false
-}
-
-Design Decision: Check return value and provide context-specific message before returning.
-
-User presses CTRL-C during password prompt
- ↓
-sudo exits with code 1, stderr: "password is required"
- ↓
-do --ignore-errors captures exit code & stderr
- ↓
-Detection logic identifies cancellation
- ↓
-Print user-friendly message
- ↓
-Return false (not exit!)
- ↓
-on_server_ssh returns false
- ↓
-Caller (create.nu/generate.nu) checks return value
- ↓
-Print "✗ Server creation cancelled"
- ↓
-Return false to settings.nu
- ↓
-settings.nu handles false gracefully (no append)
- ↓
-Clean exit, no cryptic errors
-
-
-
-Captures both stdout, stderr, and exit code without throwing:
-let result = (do --ignore-errors { ^sudo command } | complete)
-# result = { stdout: "...", stderr: "...", exit_code: 1 }
-
-
-Instead of mutable variables in loops:
-# ❌ BAD - mutable capture in closure
-mut all_succeeded = true
-$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)
-})
-
-
-if not $condition {
- print "Error message"
- return false
-}
-# Continue with happy path
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-sudo -v
-provisioning -c server create
-
-# Expected: No password prompt, smooth operation
-
-
-provisioning -c server create
-# Password: [wrong]
-# Password: [wrong]
-# Password: [wrong]
-
-# Expected: Same as CTRL-C (treated as cancellation)
+
+# Verify Cilium network policies work
+kubectl exec -it <pod-name> -- curl [http://test-nginx](http://test-nginx)
-
-# 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
-
-
-
-When adding new sudo commands to the codebase:
-
-- Wrap with
do --ignore-errors + complete
-- Check for exit code 1 + “password is required”
-- Return
false on cancellation
-- 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
-}
-
-
-
-- Don’t use
exit: It kills the entire process
-- Don’t use mutable variables in closures: Use
reduce instead
-- Don’t ignore return values: Always check and propagate
-- Don’t forget the pre-check warning: Users should know sudo is needed
-
-
-
-- Sudo Credential Manager: Optionally use a credential manager (keychain, etc.)
-- Sudo-less Mode: Alternative implementation that doesn’t require root
-- Timeout Handling: Detect when sudo times out waiting for password
-- Multiple Password Attempts: Distinguish between CTRL-C and wrong password

-This guide describes the metadata-driven authentication system implemented over 5 weeks across 14 command handlers and 12 major systems. The system provides:
-
-- Centralized Metadata: All command definitions in Nickel with runtime validation
-- Automatic Auth Checks: Pre-execution validation before handler logic
-- Performance Optimization: 40-100x faster through metadata caching
-- Flexible Deployment: Works with orchestrator, batch workflows, and direct CLI

-
-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 ...
-}
-
-
-For each script that was migrated:
-
-- 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
-}
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-# 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
+
+
+# Show current workspace state
+provisioning workspace info
-# List all migrated scripts
-nu utils/search-scripts.nu list
-
-
-
-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

-| 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” |

-
-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
-
-
-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 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)

-| 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 |
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-- Deploy: Use installer to deploy to production
-- Monitor: Watch cache hit rates (target >95%)
-- Extend: Add new commands following migration pattern
-- Optimize: Use profiling to identify slow operations
-- Maintain: Run validation scripts regularly

-Version: 0.2.0
-Date: 2025-10-08
-Status: Active
-
-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.
-
-
-
-- ❌ 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
-
-
-
-- ✅ 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
-
-
-
-- 🔄
KmsBackendConfig enum (now only Age and Cosmian)
-- 🔄
KmsError enum (removed Vault/AWS-specific errors)
-- 🔄 Service initialization logic
-- 🔄 README and documentation
-- 🔄 Cargo.toml dependencies
-
-
-
-
-- Unnecessary Complexity: 4 backends for simple use cases
-- Cloud Lock-in: AWS KMS dependency limited flexibility
-- Operational Overhead: Vault requires server setup even for dev
-- Dependency Bloat: AWS SDK adds significant compile time
-- Unclear Use Cases: When to use which backend?
-
-
-
-- Clear Separation: Age = dev, Cosmian = prod
-- Faster Compilation: Removed AWS SDK (saves ~30 s)
-- Offline Development: Age works without network
-- Enterprise Security: Cosmian provides confidential computing
-- Easier Maintenance: 2 backends instead of 4
-

-Version: 2.0.0
-Last Updated: 2026-01-05
-Status: Production Ready
-Target Audience: DevOps Engineers, Infrastructure Administrators
-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.
-
-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
-
-
-
-# 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)
-- Storage backend (filesystem or SurrealDB)
-- Task queue and batch settings
-- Monitoring and health checks
-- Rollback and recovery
-- Logging configuration
-- Extensions and integrations
-- Advanced settings
-
-
-After completing the form, TypeDialog generates config.ncl:
-# View what was generated
-cat workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl
-
-
-# Check Nickel syntax is valid
-nickel typecheck workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl
-
-# Export to TOML for services
-provisioning config export
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-Best for: Most users, no Nickel knowledge needed
-Workflow:
-
-- Launch form for a service:
provisioning config platform orchestrator
-- Answer questions in interactive prompts about workspace, server, storage, queue
-- Review what was generated:
cat workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl
-- Update running services:
provisioning config export && provisioning restart orchestrator
-
-
-Best for: Users comfortable with Nickel, want full control
-Workflow:
-
-- Create file:
touch workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl
-- Edit directly:
vim workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl
-- Validate syntax:
nickel typecheck workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl
-- Export and deploy:
provisioning config export && provisioning restart orchestrator
-
-
-
-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"

-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

-- Edit source config:
vim workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl
-- Validate changes:
nickel typecheck workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl
-- Re-export to TOML:
provisioning config export
-- Restart affected service (if needed):
provisioning restart orchestrator
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-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
-
-
-Problem: Changes don’t take effect
-Solution:
-
-- Verify export succeeded:
ls -lah workspace_librecloud/config/generated/platform/
-- Check service path:
provisioning start orchestrator --check
-- Restart service:
provisioning restart orchestrator

-
-Start with TypeDialog forms for the best experience:
-provisioning config platform orchestrator
-
-
-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
-
-Always validate before deploying changes:
-nickel typecheck workspace_librecloud/config/config.ncl
-provisioning config export
-
-
-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')}}"
-
-Add comments explaining custom settings in the Nickel file.

-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

-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

-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 \

-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
-
-
-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" \

-- Build a library of reusable templates and patterns
-
-You’re now equipped to extend provisioning for any custom requirements!
-
-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/
-
-
-
-- 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

-Old single-instance configs are automatically detected and migrated to the new multi-instance format during startup:
-
-- Detection: Registry checks if old-style fields (
gitea, oci) contain values
-- Migration: Single instances are moved to new Vec-based format (
sources.gitea[0], distributions.oci[0])
-- Logging: Migration event is logged for audit purposes
-- Transparency: No user action required; old configs continue to work

-registry = "registry.example.com"
-namespace = "extensions"
-
-
-To adopt the new format manually:
-
-- Backup current config - Keep old format as reference
-- Adopt new format - Replace old fields with new structure
-- Test - Verify all backends are reachable and extensions are discovered
-- Add new backends - Use new format to add Forgejo, GitHub, or additional OCI registries
-- Remove old fields - Delete deprecated
gitea and oci top-level sections
-
-
-
-- 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

-- Features: Add provider-specific advanced features
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-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:
-
-- Hardcoded provider dependencies - No longer requires importing specific provider modules
-- Single-provider limitation - Now supports mixing multiple providers in the same deployment (for example, AWS compute + Cloudflare DNS + UpCloud
-backup)
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-Each provider implements a standard adapter:

-
-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.
-
-
-
-
-
-The provisioning system supports two complementary approaches for provider management:
-
-- Module-Loader: Symlink-based local development with dynamic discovery
-- Provider Packs: Versioned, distributable artifacts for production
-
-Both approaches work seamlessly together and serve different phases of the development lifecycle.
-
-
-
-Fast, local development with direct access to provider source code.
-
-# 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
-
-
-✅ 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
-
-
-- 🔧 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
-
-
-# 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

-Create versioned, distributable artifacts for production deployments and team collaboration.
-
-# 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
-
-
-✅ 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
-
-
-- 🚀 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

-
-
-
-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.
-
-
-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.
-
-
-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.
-
-
-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.
-
-
-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.
-
-
-
-
--
-
Use Module-Loader by default
-
-- Fast iteration is crucial during development
-- Symlinks allow immediate testing
-
-
--
-
Keep providers.manifest.yaml in Git
-
-- Documents which providers are used
-- Team members can sync easily
-
-
--
-
Validate before committing
-providers validate wuji
-nickel eval defs/servers.ncl
-
-
-
-
-
--
-
Version Everything
-
-- Use semantic versioning (0.1.0, 0.2.0, 1.0.0)
-- Update version in kcl.mod before packing
-
-
--
-
Create Packs for Releases
-pack providers --version 0.2.0
-git tag v0.2.0
-
-
--
-
Test Packs Before Publishing
-
-- Extract and test packages
-- Verify metadata is correct
-
-
-
-
-
--
-
Pin Versions
-
-- Use exact versions in production kcl.mod
-- Never use “latest” or symlinks
-
-
--
-
Maintain Artifact Registry
-
-- Store all production versions
-- Keep old versions for rollback
-
-
--
-
Document Deployments
-
-- Record which versions deployed when
-- Maintain change log
-
-
-
-
-
--
-
Automate Pack Creation
-# .github/workflows/release.yml
-- name: Pack Providers
- run: |
- export PROVISIONING=$GITHUB_WORKSPACE/provisioning
- ./provisioning/core/cli/pack providers
-
-
--
-
Run Tests on Packs
-
-- Extract packages
-- Run validation tests
-- Ensure they work in isolation
-
-
--
-
Publish Automatically
-
-- Upload to artifact registry on tag
-- Update package index
-
-
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-# Required for pack commands
-export PROVISIONING=/path/to/provisioning
-
-# Alternative
-export PROVISIONING_CONFIG=/path/to/provisioning

-core_version = "0.0.1"
-core_package_name = "provisioning_core"
-use_module_loader = true
-modules_dir = ".kcl-modules"
-
-
-
-
-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/
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-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!

-Recommended: Hetzner primary + DigitalOcean backup
-Rationale:
-
-- Hetzner has best price/performance ratio
-- DigitalOcean for geographic diversification
-- Both have simple interfaces and good documentation
-- Monthly cost: $30-80 for basic HA setup
-
-Example Setup:
-
-- Primary: Hetzner cx31 (2 vCPU, 4 GB)
-- Backup: DigitalOcean $24/month droplet
-- Database: Self-managed PostgreSQL or Hetzner volume
-- Total: ~$35/month
-
-
-Recommended: AWS primary + UpCloud backup
-Rationale:
-
-- AWS for managed services and compliance
-- UpCloud for cost-effective disaster recovery
-- AWS compliance certifications (HIPAA, FIPS, SOC2)
-- Multiple regions within AWS
-- Mature enterprise support
-
-Example Setup:
-
-- Primary: AWS RDS (managed DB)
-- Secondary: UpCloud for compute burst
-- Compliance: Full audit trail and encryption
-
-
-Recommended: Hetzner + AWS spot instances
-Rationale:
-
-- Hetzner for sustained compute (good price)
-- AWS spot for burst workloads (70-90% discount)
-- Hetzner bare metal for specialized workloads
-- Cost-effective scaling
-
-
-Recommended: AWS + DigitalOcean + Hetzner
-Rationale:
-
-- AWS for primary regions and managed services
-- DigitalOcean for edge locations and simpler regions
-- Hetzner for EU cost optimization
-- Geographic redundancy across 3 providers
-
-Example Setup:
-
-- US: AWS (primary region)
-- EU: Hetzner (cost-optimized)
-- APAC: DigitalOcean (Singapore)
-- Global: CloudFront CDN
-
-
-Recommended: AWS RDS/ElastiCache + DigitalOcean Spaces
-Rationale:
-
-- AWS managed databases are feature-rich
-- DigitalOcean managed DB for simpler needs
-- Both support replicas and backups
-- Cost: $60-200/month for medium database
-
-
-Recommended: DigitalOcean + AWS
-Rationale:
-
-- DigitalOcean for simplicity and speed
-- Droplets easy to manage and scale
-- AWS for advanced features and multi-region
-- Good community and documentation

-If you need: Then use:
-─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-Lowest cost compute Hetzner
-Simplest interface DigitalOcean
-Managed databases AWS or DigitalOcean
-Global multi-region AWS
-Compliance (HIPAA/FIPS) AWS
-European data residency Hetzner or DigitalOcean
-High performance compute Hetzner or AWS (bare metal)
-Disaster recovery setup UpCloud or Hetzner
-Quick startup DigitalOcean
-Enterprise SLA AWS or UpCloud
-
-
-
-- Hetzner: Best for cost-conscious teams, European focus, good performance
-- UpCloud: Mid-market option, Nordic/EU focus, reliable alternative
-- AWS: Enterprise standard, global coverage, most services, highest cost
-- DigitalOcean: Developer-friendly, simplicity-focused, good value
-
-For most organizations, a multi-provider strategy combining Hetzner (compute), AWS (managed services), and DigitalOcean (edge) provides the best
-balance of cost, capability, and resilience.

-
-
-The Service Management System provides comprehensive lifecycle management for all platform services (orchestrator, control-center, CoreDNS, Gitea, OCI
-registry, MCP server, API gateway).
-
-
-- Unified Service Management: Single interface for all services
-- Automatic Dependency Resolution: Start services in correct order
-- Health Monitoring: Continuous health checks with automatic recovery
-- Multiple Deployment Modes: Binary, Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Remote
-- Pre-flight Checks: Validate prerequisites before operations
-- Service Registry: Centralized service configuration

-Platform commands manage all services as a cohesive system.
-
-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:
-
-- Resolves dependencies
-- Calculates startup order (topological sort)
-- Starts services in correct order
-- Waits for health checks
-- Reports success/failure
-
-
-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:
-
-- Checks for dependent services
-- Stops in reverse dependency order
-- Updates service state
-- Cleans up PID files
-
-
-Restart running services:
-# Restart all running services
-provisioning platform restart
-
-# Restart specific services
-provisioning platform restart orchestrator
-
-
-Show status of all services:
-provisioning platform status
-

-Services can depend on other services:
-[services.control-center]
-dependencies = ["orchestrator"]
-
-[services.api-gateway]
-dependencies = ["orchestrator", "control-center", "mcp-server"]
-
-
-Services start in topological order:
-orchestrator (order: 10)
- └─> control-center (order: 20)
- └─> api-gateway (order: 45)
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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 ensure services can start successfully before attempting to start them.
-
-
-- Prerequisites: Binary exists, Docker running, etc.
-- Conflicts: No conflicting services running
-- Dependencies: All dependencies available
-
-
-Pre-flight checks run automatically when starting services:
-provisioning services start orchestrator
-
-Check Process:
-Running pre-flight checks for orchestrator...

-# 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

-The CoreDNS integration provides comprehensive DNS management capabilities for the provisioning system. It supports:
-
-- Local DNS service - Run CoreDNS as binary or Docker container
-- Dynamic DNS updates - Automatic registration of infrastructure changes
-- Multi-zone support - Manage multiple DNS zones
-- Provider integration - Seamless integration with orchestrator
-- REST API - Programmatic DNS management
-- Docker deployment - Containerized CoreDNS with docker-compose
-
-
-✅ Automatic Server Registration - Servers automatically registered in DNS on creation
-✅ Zone File Management - Create, update, and manage zone files programmatically
-✅ Multiple Deployment Modes - Binary, Docker, remote, or hybrid
-✅ Health Monitoring - Built-in health checks and metrics
-✅ CLI Interface - Comprehensive command-line tools
-✅ API Integration - REST API for external integration

-- Use TTL wisely - Lower TTL (300s) for frequently changing records, higher (3600s) for stable
-- Enable logging - Essential for troubleshooting
-- Regular backups - Backup zone files before major changes
-- Validate before reload - Always run
dns config validate before reloading
-- Monitor metrics - Track DNS query rates and error rates
-- Use comments - Add comments to records for documentation
-- Separate zones - Use different zones for different environments (dev, staging, prod)

-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).
-
-
-- Last Resort Only: Use only when normal access is insufficient
-- Multi-Party Approval: Requires 2+ approvers from different teams
-- Time-Limited: Maximum 4 hours, auto-revokes
-- Enhanced Audit: 7-year retention, immutable logs
-- Real-Time Alerts: Security team notified immediately

-
-Outcome: Breach contained in 3h 15 min. No data loss. Vulnerability patched across fleet.
-
-
-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:
-
-- Stop application writes to affected tables
-- Identify latest good backup (10:00am)
-- Restore deleted records from backup
-- Verify data integrity
-- Compare record counts
-- Re-enable application writes
-- 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.

-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
-5. Verified replication
-
-## Root Cause
-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
-
-
-
-
-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.
-
-A: No. Break-glass is for emergencies only. Schedule maintenance through normal change process.
-
-A: System requires 2 approvers from different teams. If unavailable:
-
-- Escalate to on-call manager
-- Contact security team directly
-- Use emergency contact list
-
-
-A: No. System enforces team diversity to prevent collusion.
-
-A: Security team can revoke for:
-
-- Suspicious activity
-- Policy violation
-- Incident resolved
-- Misuse detected
-
-You’ll receive immediate notification. Contact security team for details.
-
-A: No. Maximum duration is 4 hours. If you need more time, submit a new request with updated justification.
-
-A: Session auto-revokes after:
-
-- Maximum duration (4 hours), OR
-- Inactivity timeout (30 minutes)
-
-Always manually revoke when done.
-
-A: Yes. Security team monitors in real-time:
-
-- Session activation alerts
-- Action logging
-- Suspicious activity detection
-- Compliance verification
-
-
-A: Yes, in development environment only:
-PROVISIONING_ENV=dev provisioning break-glass request "Test emergency access procedure"
-
-Never practice in staging or production.

-- Cedar Policy Basics
-- Production Policy Strategy
-- Policy Templates
-- Policy Development Workflow
-- Testing Policies
-- Deployment
-- Monitoring & Auditing
-- Troubleshooting
-- Best Practices
-
-
-
-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.
-
-
-- 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

-- Enforcing MFA via Cedar Policies
-- Backup Codes Management
-- Recovery Procedures
-- Troubleshooting
-- Best Practices
-- Audit and Compliance
-
-
-
-
-Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds a second layer of security beyond passwords. Admins must provide:
-
-- Something they know: Password
-- Something they have: TOTP code (authenticator app) or WebAuthn device (YubiKey, Touch ID)
-
-
-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)
-
-
-| 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 |
-
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-- Development: MFA optional (not recommended)
-- Staging: MFA recommended, not enforced
-- Production: MFA mandatory (enforced by Cedar policies)
-
-
-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

-
-
-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

-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"
-
-
-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

-The provisioning system includes a comprehensive Test Environment Service for automated testing of infrastructure components before deployment.
-
-Testing infrastructure before production deployment helps:
+
+This deployment demonstrated:
-- 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
+- Workspace creation and configuration
+- Nickel schema structure for infrastructure-as-code
+- Type-safe configuration validation
+- Automatic dependency resolution
+- Multi-server provisioning
+- Task service installation with health checks
+- Kubernetes cluster deployment
+- Storage and networking configuration
+- Verification and testing workflows
+- State management and backup
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-# 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>
-
-
-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 |
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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/
-
-
-Test environments require:
-
--
-
Docker Running: Test environments use Docker containers
-docker ps # Should work without errors
-
-
--
-
Orchestrator Running: The orchestrator manages test containers
-cd provisioning/platform/orchestrator
-./scripts/start-orchestrator.nu --background
-
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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

-
-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)
-
-
-
-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
-}
-
-
-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"
-}
-
-
-Orchestrate detection → completion → assessment pipeline:
-provisioning ifc /path/to/project --org default

-Customize how infrastructure is inferred for your organization.
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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)

-
-Solution: Ensure the provisioning project is properly built:
-cd $PROVISIONING/platform
-cargo build --release --bin provisioning-detector
-
-
-Check:
-
-- Project path is correct:
provisioning detect /actual/path
-- Project contains recognizable technologies (package.json, Dockerfile, requirements.txt, etc.)
-- Use
--debug flag for more details: provisioning detect /path --debug
-
-
-Check:
-
-- Rules file exists:
$PROVISIONING/config/inference-rules/{org}.yaml
-- Organization name is correct:
provisioning ifc /path --org myorg
-- Verify rules structure with:
cat $PROVISIONING/config/inference-rules/myorg.yaml
-
-
-
-Generate a template for a new organization:
-# Template will be created with proper structure
-provisioning rules create --org neworg
-
-
-# Check for syntax errors
-provisioning rules validate /path/to/rules.yaml
-
-
-Export as Rust code for embedding:
-provisioning rules export myorg --format rust > rules.rs
-
-
-
-- Organize by Organization: Keep separate rules for different organizations
-- High Confidence First: Start with rules you’re confident about (confidence > 0.8)
-- Document Reasons: Always fill in the
reason field for maintainability
-- Test Locally: Run on sample projects before applying organization-wide
-- Version Control: Commit inference rules to version control
-- Review Changes: Always inspect recommendations with
--check first

-A comprehensive batch workflow system has been implemented using 10 token-optimized agents achieving 85-90% token efficiency over monolithic
-approaches. The system enables provider-agnostic batch operations with mixed provider support (UpCloud + AWS + local).
-
-
-- Provider-Agnostic Design: Single workflows supporting multiple cloud providers
-- Nickel Schema Integration: Type-safe workflow definitions with comprehensive validation
-- Dependency Resolution: Topological sorting with soft/hard dependency support
-- State Management: Checkpoint-based recovery with rollback capabilities
-- Real-time Monitoring: Live workflow progress tracking and health monitoring
-- Token Optimization: 85-90% efficiency using parallel specialized agents
-
-
-# Submit batch workflow from Nickel definition
-nu -c "use core/nulib/workflows/batch.nu *; batch submit workflows/example_batch.ncl"
-
-# Monitor batch workflow progress
-nu -c "use core/nulib/workflows/batch.nu *; batch monitor <workflow_id>"
-
-# List batch workflows with filtering
-nu -c "use core/nulib/workflows/batch.nu *; batch list --status Running"
-
-# Get detailed batch status
-nu -c "use core/nulib/workflows/batch.nu *; batch status <workflow_id>"
-
-# Initiate rollback for failed workflow
-nu -c "use core/nulib/workflows/batch.nu *; batch rollback <workflow_id>"
-
-# Show batch workflow statistics
-nu -c "use core/nulib/workflows/batch.nu *; batch stats"
-
-
-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" }
- ]
- },

- type = "taskserv_batch",
- provider = "aws",
- dependencies = ["upcloud_servers"],
- taskservs = ["kubernetes", "cilium", "containerd"]
- }
- ]
- }
-}

-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:

-
-- 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
-
-
-This document provides practical examples of orchestrating complex deployments and operations across multiple cloud providers using the batch workflow
-system.
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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

-
-Solution:
-
-- Review what resources were created
-- Manually delete resources if needed
-- Fix root cause of failure
-- Re-run workflow
-
-
-Diagnosis:
-provisioning database verify-consistency
-
-Solution:
-
-- Check replication lag before failover

-
-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
-
-
-
-- 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}}
-
-
-
-provisioning validate config - Validate configuration
-provisioning env - Show environment variables
-provisioning allenv - Show all config and environment
-PROVISIONING_ENV=prod provisioning - Use specific environment
-
-
-See ADR-010: Configuration Format Strategy for complete rationale and design patterns.
-
-When loading configuration, precedence is (highest to lowest):
-
-- Runtime Arguments - CLI flags and direct user input
-- Environment Variables -
PROVISIONING_* overrides
-- User Configuration -
~/.config/provisioning/user_config.yaml
-- Infrastructure Configuration - Nickel schemas, extensions, provider configs
-- System Defaults -
provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml
-
-
-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
-
-

-Last Updated: 2025-10-06 | Version: 1.0.0
-
-This guide covers the unified configuration rendering system in the CLI daemon that supports Nickel and Tera template engines.
-
-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.
-
-
-The daemon runs on port 9091 by default:
-# Start in background
-./target/release/cli-daemon &
-
-# Check it's running
-curl http://localhost:9091/health
-
-
-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
-}
-
-
-
-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"
-}
-
-Parameters:
-| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
-language | string | Yes | One of: nickel, tera |
-content | string | Yes | The configuration or template content to render |
-context | object | No | Variables to pass to the configuration (JSON object) |
-name | string | No | Optional name for logging purposes |
-
-
-Response (Success):
-{
- "rendered": "...rendered output...",
- "error": null,
- "language": "nickel",
- "execution_time_ms": 23
-}
-
-Response (Error):
-{
- "rendered": null,
- "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
-500 Internal Server Error - Daemon error
-
-
-Get rendering statistics across all languages.

-Response:
-{
- "status": "success",
- "message": "Configuration rendering statistics reset"
-}
-
-
-
-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 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
- }
- }'
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-curl -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render \

-- Simple templates: 4-10 ms
-- Complex templates with loops: 10-20 ms
-- Always fast (template is pre-compiled)
-
-
-
-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:
-
-- Render the same config multiple times → hits after first render
-- Use static content when possible → better cache reuse
-- Monitor cache hit ratio via
/config/stats
-
-
-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 |
-
-
-
-
-- Each renderer keeps 100 cached entries in memory
-- Average config size in cache: ~5 KB
-- Maximum memory per renderer: ~500 KB + overhead

-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'
-
-
-Set timeout (depends on client):
-curl --max-time 10 -X POST http://localhost:9091/config/render ...
-
-Check daemon logs for stuck processes.
-
-Reduce cache size (rebuild with modified config) or restart daemon.

-
Choose right language for task:
-
-- Nickel: Large configs with lazy evaluation, type-safe infrastructure definitions
-- Tera: Simple templating, fastest for rendering
-
-
--

-This comprehensive guide explains the configuration system of the Infrastructure Automation platform, helping you understand, customize, and manage
-all configuration aspects.
-
-
-- Understanding the configuration hierarchy and precedence
-- Working with different configuration file types
-- Configuration interpolation and templating
-- Environment-specific configurations
-- User customization and overrides
-- Validation and troubleshooting
-- Advanced configuration patterns
-
-
-
-The system uses a layered configuration approach with clear precedence rules:
-Runtime CLI arguments (highest precedence)
- ↓ (overrides)
-Environment Variables
- ↓ (overrides)
-Infrastructure Config (./.provisioning.toml)
- ↓ (overrides)
-Project Config (./provisioning.toml)
- ↓ (overrides)
-User Config (~/.config/provisioning/config.toml)
- ↓ (overrides)
-System Defaults (config.defaults.toml) (lowest precedence)
-
-
-| File Type | Purpose | Location | Format |
-| System Defaults | Base system configuration | config.defaults.toml | TOML |
-| User Config | Personal preferences | ~/.config/provisioning/config.toml | TOML |
-| Project Config | Project-wide settings | ./provisioning.toml | TOML |
-| Infrastructure Config | Infra-specific settings | ./.provisioning.toml | TOML |
-| Environment Config | Environment overrides | config.{env}.toml | TOML |
-| Infrastructure Definitions | Infrastructure as Code | main.ncl, *.ncl | Nickel |

+
+
+Once verification is complete:
+
+
+Post-installation configuration and system setup for the Provisioning platform.
+
+After installation, setup configures your system and prepares workspaces for infrastructure deployment.
+Setup encompasses three critical phases:
+
+- Initial Setup - Environment detection, dependency verification, directory creation
+- Workspace Setup - Create workspaces, configure providers, initialize schemas
+- Configuration - Provider credentials, system settings, profiles, validation
+
+This process validates prerequisites, detects your environment, and bootstraps your first workspace.
+
+Get up and running in 3 commands:
+# 1. Complete initial setup (detects system, creates dirs, validates dependencies)
+provisioning setup initial
+
+# 2. Create first workspace (for your infrastructure)
+provisioning workspace create --name production
+
+# 3. Add cloud provider credentials (AWS, UpCloud, Hetzner, etc.)
+provisioning config set --workspace production \
+ extensions.providers.aws.enabled true \
+ extensions.providers.aws.config.region us-east-1
+
+# 4. Verify configuration is valid
+provisioning validate config
+
+
+The setup system automatically:
+
+- System Detection - Detects OS (Linux, macOS, Windows), CPU architecture, RAM, disk space
+- Dependency Verification - Validates Nushell, Nickel, SOPS, Age, K9s installation
+- Directory Structure - Creates
~/.provisioning/, ~/.config/provisioning/, workspace directories
+- Configuration Creation - Initializes default configuration, security settings, profiles
+- Workspace Bootstrap - Creates default workspace with basic configuration
+- Health Checks - Validates installation, runs diagnostic tests
+
+All steps are logged and can be verified with provisioning status.
+
+
+

Initial Setup - First-time system setup: detection, validation, directory
+creation, default configuration, health checks.
+
+-
+
Workspace Setup - Create and initialize workspaces: creation,
+provider configuration, schema management, local customization.
+
+-
+
Configuration Management - Configure system: providers, credentials,
+profiles, environment variables, validation rules.
+
+
+
+Pre-configured setup profiles for different use cases:

+Configure Provisioning after installation.
+
+Initial setup validates your environment and prepares Provisioning for workspace
+creation. The setup process performs system detection, dependency verification, and
+configuration initialization.
+
+Before initial setup, ensure:
+
+- Provisioning CLI installed and in PATH
+- Nushell 0.109.0+ installed
+- Nickel installed
+- SOPS 3.10.2+ installed
+- Age 1.2.1+ installed
+- K9s 0.50.6+ installed (for Kubernetes)
+
+Verify installation:
+provisioning version
+nu --version
+nickel --version
+sops --version
+age --version
+
+
+Provisioning provides configuration profiles for different use cases:
+
+For local development and testing:
+provisioning setup profile --profile developer
+
+Includes:
+
+- Local provider (simulation environment)
+- Development workspace
+- Test environment configuration
+- Debug logging enabled
+- No MFA required
+- Workspace directory:
~/.provisioning-dev/
+
+
+For production deployments:
+provisioning setup profile --profile production
+
+Includes:
+
+- Encrypted configuration
+- Strict validation rules
+- MFA enabled
+- Audit logging enabled
+- Workspace directory:
/opt/provisioning/
+
+
+For unattended automation:
+provisioning setup profile --profile cicd
+
+Includes:
+
+- Headless mode (no TUI prompts)
+- Service account authentication
+- Automated backups
+- Policy enforcement
+- Unattended upgrade support
+
+
+The setup system automatically detects:
+# System detection
+OS: $(uname -s)
+CPU: $(lscpu | grep 'CPU(s)' | awk '{print $NF}')
+RAM: $(free -h | grep Mem | awk '{print $2}')
+Architecture: $(uname -m)
+
+The system adapts configuration based on detected resources:
+| Detected Resource | Configuration |
+| 2-4 CPU cores | Solo (single-instance) mode |
+| 4-8 CPU cores | MultiUser mode (small cluster) |
+| 8+ CPU cores | CICD or Enterprise mode |
+| 4GB RAM | Minimal services only |
+| 8GB RAM | Standard setup |
+| 16GB+ RAM | Full feature set |
+

+
+Create and initialize your first Provisioning workspace.
+
+A workspace is the default organizational unit for all infrastructure work in Provisioning.
+It groups infrastructure definitions, configurations, extensions, and runtime data in an
+isolated environment.
+
+Every workspace follows a consistent directory structure:

+- CLI prompt changes (if configured)
+- Last-used timestamp updates
+
+
+The workspace registry is stored in user configuration:

-Now that you understand the configuration system:
-
-- Create your user configuration:
provisioning init config
-- Set up environment-specific configs for your workflow
-- Learn CLI commands: CLI Reference
-- Practice with examples: Examples and Tutorials
-- Troubleshoot issues: Troubleshooting Guide
-
-You now have complete control over how provisioning behaves in your environment!
-
-This guide shows you how to set up a new infrastructure workspace with Nickel-based configuration and auto-generated documentation.
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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",
- },
- },
- },
-}
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-# Check Nickel syntax
-nickel typecheck config/config.ncl
-nickel typecheck infra/default/main.ncl
-
-# Validate with provisioning system
-provisioning validate config
-
-
-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
-
-
-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,
- },
- },

-Version: 1.0.0
-Date: 2025-10-06
-Status: ✅ Production Ready
-
-The provisioning system now includes a centralized workspace management system that allows you to easily switch between multiple workspaces without
-manually editing configuration files.
-
-
-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
-

-## 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

-The workspace switching system integrates seamlessly with the configuration system:
-
-- Active Workspace Detection: Config loader reads
active_workspace from user_config.yaml
-- Workspace Validation: Ensures workspace has required
config/provisioning.yaml
-- Configuration Loading: Loads workspace-specific configs automatically
-- 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_*
-
-
-
-- ✅ 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

-
-Version: 2.0.0
-Date: 2025-10-06
-Status: Implemented
-
-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.
-
-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 is loaded in the following order (lowest to highest priority):
-
-- Workspace Config (Base):
{workspace}/config/provisioning.yaml
-- Provider Configs:
{workspace}/config/providers/*.toml
-- Platform Configs:
{workspace}/config/platform/*.toml
-- User Context:
~/Library/Application Support/provisioning/ws_{name}.yaml
-- Environment Variables:
PROVISIONING_* (highest priority)
-
-
-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

-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
-
-
-
--
-
Always validate after editing: Run workspace config validate after manual edits
-
--
-
Use hierarchy to understand precedence: Run workspace config hierarchy to see which config files are being used
-
--
-
Generate from templates: Use config generate provider rather than creating configs manually
-
--
-
Check before activation: Validate a workspace before activating it as default
-
--
-
Use –out json for scripting: JSON output is easier to parse in scripts

-- Overview
-- Workspace Requirement
-- Version Tracking

-- Command Reference
-- Troubleshooting
-- Best Practices
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-- ✅ 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
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-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"

-
-- What: Version of the provisioning system (CLI + libraries)
-- Example:
2.0.5
-- Purpose: Ensures workspace is compatible with current system
-
-
-
-- What: Version of KCL schemas used in workspace
-- Example:
1.0.0
-- Purpose: Tracks configuration schema compatibility
-
-
-
-- What: Version of workspace directory structure
-- Example:
2.0.0
-- Purpose: Ensures workspace has required directories and files

-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

-
-Migration is required when:
-
-- No Metadata: Workspace created before version tracking (< 2.0.5)
-- Version Mismatch: System version is newer than workspace version
-- Breaking Changes: Major version update with structural changes
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-ℹ Migration available: Workspace can be updated from 2.0.0 to 2.0.5
- Run: provisioning workspace migrate my-workspace
-
-
-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.
-
-
-
-Migrate active workspace to current system version:
-provisioning workspace migrate
-
-
-provisioning workspace migrate my-workspace
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-When you run a migration:
-
-- Validation: System validates workspace exists and needs migration
-- Backup: Creates timestamped backup in
.workspace_backups/
-- Confirmation: Prompts for confirmation (unless
--force)
-- Migration: Applies migration steps sequentially
-- Verification: Validates migration success
-- 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.

-# List available workspaces
-provisioning workspace list
-
-# Activate existing workspace
-provisioning workspace activate my-workspace
-
-# Or create new workspace
-provisioning workspace init new-workspace
-
-
-Symptoms: Missing directories or configuration files
-Solution: Run migration to fix structure
-provisioning workspace migrate my-workspace
-
-
-Solution: Run migration to upgrade workspace
-provisioning workspace migrate
-
-
-Solution: Restore from automatic backup
-# List backups
-provisioning workspace list-backups
-
-# Restore from most recent backup
-provisioning workspace restore-backup /path/to/backup
-
-
-Possible Causes:
-
-- Migration failed partially
-- Workspace path changed
-- 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
-
-
-
-
-Create workspaces for different environments:
-provisioning workspace init dev ~/workspaces/dev --activate
-provisioning workspace init staging ~/workspaces/staging
-provisioning workspace init production ~/workspaces/production
-
-
-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
-
-
-Before major operations, verify workspace compatibility:
-provisioning workspace check-compatibility
-
-
-After upgrading the provisioning system:
-# Check if migration available
-provisioning workspace version
-
-# Migrate if needed
-provisioning workspace migrate
-
-
-Don’t immediately delete old backups:
-# List backups
-provisioning workspace list-backups
-
-# Keep at least 2-3 recent backups
-
-
-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/
-
-
-If you need custom migration steps, document them:
-# Create migration notes
-echo "Custom steps for v2 to v3 migration" > MIGRATION_NOTES.md
-
-
-
-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"
-
-
-
-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

-Last Updated: 2025-12-04
-
-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.
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-workspace:infra
-
-| Part | Description | Example |
-workspace | Workspace name | librecloud |
-: | Separator | - |
-infra | Infrastructure name | wuji |
-
-
-
-| Notation | Workspace | Infrastructure |
-librecloud:wuji | librecloud | wuji |
-production:sgoyol | production | sgoyol |
-dev:local | dev | local |
-librecloud | librecloud | (from default or context) |
-
-
-
-When no infrastructure is explicitly specified, the system uses this priority order:
-
--
-
Explicit --infra flag (highest)
-provisioning server list --infra another-infra
-
-
--
-
PWD Detection
-cd workspace_librecloud/infra/wuji
-provisioning server list # Auto-detects wuji
-
-
--
-
Default Infrastructure
-# If workspace has default_infra set
-provisioning server list # Uses configured default
-
-
--
-
Error (no infra found)
-# Error: No infrastructure specified
-
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-
-
-- Single
workspace:infra format for all references
-- Works with all provisioning commands
-- Backward compatible with existing workflows
-
-
-
-- Use
-ws flag for single-command overrides
-- No permanent state changes
-- Automatically reverted after command
-
-
-
-- Set default infrastructure per workspace
-- Eliminates repetitive
--infra flags
-- Survives across sessions
-
-
-
-- Auto-detects workspace from directory
-- Auto-detects infrastructure from PWD
-- Fallback to configured defaults
-
-
-
-- Clear error messages when infra not found
-- Validation of workspace and infra existence
-- Helpful hints for missing configurations
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-
-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"
-
-
-In provisioning/schemas/workspace_config.ncl:
-{
- InfraConfig = {
- current | String, # Infrastructure context settings
- default | String | optional, # Default infrastructure for workspace
- },
-}
-
-
-
-# Good: Activate at start of session
-provisioning workspace activate production:sgoyol
-
-# Then use simple commands
-provisioning server list
-provisioning taskserv create kubernetes
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-# Good: Navigate to infrastructure directory
-cd workspace_librecloud/infra/wuji
-provisioning server list # Auto-detects context
-
-# Works well with: cd - history, terminal multiplexer panes
-
-
-# Good: Default to production infrastructure
-provisioning workspace activate production:main-infra
-
-# Avoid: Default to dev infrastructure in production workspace
-
-
-
-Solution: Register the workspace first
-provisioning workspace register librecloud /path/to/workspace_librecloud
-
-
-Solution: Verify infrastructure directory exists
-ls workspace_librecloud/infra/ # Check available infras
-provisioning workspace activate librecloud:wuji # Use correct name
-
-
-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
-
-
-Solution: Navigate to proper infrastructure directory
-# Must be in workspace structure
-cd workspace_name/infra/infra_name
-
-# Then run command
-provisioning server list
-
-
-
-provisioning workspace activate librecloud
-provisioning --infra wuji server list
-provisioning --infra wuji taskserv create kubernetes
-
-
-provisioning workspace activate librecloud:wuji
-provisioning server list
-provisioning taskserv create kubernetes
-
-
-
-- Notation parsing: <1 ms per command
-- Workspace detection: <5 ms from PWD
-- Workspace switching: ~100 ms (includes platform activation)
-- Temporal override: No additional overhead
-
-
-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)

-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.

-
-
-
-- RS256 asymmetric signing
-- Access tokens (15 min) + refresh tokens (7 d)
-- OS keyring storage (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux Secret Service)
-
-
-
-- TOTP (Google Authenticator, Authy)
-- WebAuthn/FIDO2 (YubiKey, Touch ID)
-- Required for production and destructive operations
-
-
-
-- 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)
-
-
-
-- All authenticated operations logged
-- User, timestamp, operation details

-❌ 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 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
-
-
-❌ 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>
-
-
-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",

-
-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
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-# Run authentication tests
-nu provisioning/core/nulib/lib_provisioning/plugins/auth_test.nu

-
-Error: Authentication plugin not available
-Solution:
-
-- Check plugin is built:
ls provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/nu_plugin_auth/target/release/
-- Register plugin:
plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_auth
-- Use plugin:
plugin use auth
-- Verify:
which auth
-
-
-
-Error: Cannot connect to control center
-Solution:
-
-- Start control center:
cd provisioning/platform/control-center && cargo run --release
-- Or use orchestrator:
cd provisioning/platform/orchestrator && ./scripts/start-orchestrator.nu --background
-- Check URL is correct in config:

-
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-Error: Keyring storage unavailable
-macOS: Grant Keychain access to Terminal/iTerm2 in System Preferences → Security & Privacy
-Linux: Ensure gnome-keyring or kwallet is running

--save flag for persistence
-- Enable MFA: Use MFA for production operations
-- Check mode first: Always test with
--check before actual operations
-- Monitor audit logs: Review audit logs regularly for security
-
-
-
-- Check auth early: Verify authentication before expensive operations
-- Log operations: Always log authenticated operations for audit
-- Clear error messages: Provide helpful guidance for auth failures
-- Respect check mode: Always skip auth in check/dry-run mode
-- Test both paths: Test with and without authentication
-
-
-
-- Production hardening: Set
allow_skip_auth = false in production
-- MFA enforcement: Require MFA for all production environments
-- Monitor audit logs: Set up log monitoring and alerts
-- Token rotation: Configure short token timeouts (15 min default)
-- Backup authentication: Ensure multiple admins have MFA enrolled

-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
-
-
-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"}
-
-
-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"
-
-
-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
-
-
-Once authenticated:
-# Try server creation again
-provisioning server create sgoyol --check
-
-# Or with full details
-provisioning server create sgoyol --infra workspace_librecloud --check
-
-
-If you want to bypass authentication temporarily for testing:
-
-# You would need to parse and modify TOML - easier to do next option
-
-
-export PROVISIONING_SKIP_AUTH=true
-provisioning server create sgoyol
-unset PROVISIONING_SKIP_AUTH
-
-
-provisioning server create sgoyol --check
-
-
-Edit: provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml
-Change line 193 to:
-allow_skip_auth = true
-
-
-| 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 |

-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
-
-
-
-- Prerequisites
-- Quick Start
-- Configuration Encryption
-- KMS Backends
-- CLI Commands
-- Integration with Config Loader
-- Best Practices
-- Troubleshooting

-
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
-
-
--
-
Age (for Age backend - recommended)
-# macOS
-brew install age
-
-# Linux
-apt install age
-
-
--
-
AWS CLI (for AWS KMS backend - optional)
-brew install awscli
-
-
-
-
-# Check SOPS
-sops --version
-
-# Check Age
-age --version
-
-# Check AWS CLI (optional)
-aws --version
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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.
-
-provisioning config validate-encryption
-
-Expected output:
-✅ Encryption configuration is valid
- SOPS installed: true
- Age backend: true
- KMS enabled: false
- Errors: 0
- Warnings: 0
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-
-
-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 and create new file
-provisioning config encrypt secrets.yaml
-
-# Output: secrets.yaml.enc
-
-
-# Encrypt and replace original
-provisioning config encrypt secrets.yaml --in-place
-
-
-# Encrypt to specific location
-provisioning config encrypt secrets.yaml --output workspace/config/secure.enc.yaml
-
-
-# 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 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
-
-
-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:
-
-- Decrypt the file temporarily
-- Open in your
$EDITOR (vim/nano/etc)
-- Re-encrypt when you save and close
-- Remove temporary decrypted file
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-
-
-Pros:
-
-- Simple file-based keys
-- No external dependencies
-- Fast and secure
-- Works offline
-
-Setup:
-# Initialize
-provisioning config init-encryption --kms age

-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
-
-
-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")
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-Always encrypt configs containing:
-
-- Passwords
-- API keys
-- Secret keys
-- Private keys
-- Tokens
-- Credentials
-
-Scan for unencrypted sensitive data:
-provisioning config scan-sensitive workspace --recursive
-
-
-| Environment | Recommended Backend |
-| Development | Age (file-based) |
-| Staging | AWS KMS or Vault |
-| Production | AWS KMS or Vault |
-| CI/CD | AWS KMS with IAM roles |
-
-
-
-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

-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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 |
-
-
-
-✅ 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
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-# 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>
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-

-# 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
-

-
-If your organization uses HashiCorp Vault:
-
-# 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
-
-
-# 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)
-
-
-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
-}
-
-
-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
-
-
-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.

-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 |
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-✅ 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
-
-
-
-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 |

-
-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
-
-
-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
-

-✅ 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
-
-
-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)"
-}
-
-
-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
- }
-}
-
-
-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

-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
-
-
-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
- }
-}

-
-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

-Complete guide to authentication, KMS, and orchestrator plugins.
-
-Three native Nushell plugins provide high-performance integration with the provisioning platform:
-
-- nu_plugin_auth - JWT authentication and MFA operations
-- nu_plugin_kms - Key management (RustyVault, Age, Cosmian, AWS, Vault)
-- nu_plugin_orchestrator - Orchestrator operations (status, validate, tasks)
-
-
-Performance Advantages:
-
-- 10x faster than HTTP API calls (KMS operations)
-- Direct access to Rust libraries (no HTTP overhead)
-- Native integration with Nushell pipelines
-- Type safety with Nushell’s type system
-
-Developer Experience:
-
-- Pipeline friendly - Use Nushell pipes naturally
-- Tab completion - All commands and flags
-- Consistent interface - Follows Nushell conventions
-- Error handling - Nushell-native error messages
-
-
-
-
-
-- Nushell 0.107.1+
-- Rust toolchain (for building from source)
-- Access to provisioning platform services

-
-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.

-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
-
-
-
-
-- Nushell 0.107.1 or later
-- All plugins are pre-compiled in
provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/
-
-
-Run the installation script in a new Nushell session:
-nu provisioning/core/plugins/install-and-register.nu
-
-This will:
-
-- Copy plugins to
~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/
-- Register plugins with Nushell
-- Verify 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)

-| 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 |

-| Orch status | ~1-5 ms | ~30 ms | 30x |
-| Orch tasks list | ~2-10 ms | ~50 ms | 25x |
-
-
-
-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.
-
-
-Make sure you:
-
-- Have a fresh Nushell session
-- Ran
plugin add for all three plugins
-- The plugin files are executable:
chmod +x ~/.local/share/nushell/plugins/nu_plugin_*
-
-
-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
-
-
-Check the plugin logs:
-provisioning plugin test
-
-If a plugin fails, the system will automatically fall back to HTTP mode.
-
-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
-
-
-
-For orchestrator operations, specify custom data directory:
-provisioning orch status --data-dir /custom/orchestrator/data
-provisioning orch tasks --data-dir /custom/orchestrator/data
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-The plugins follow Nushell’s plugin protocol:
-
-- Plugin Binary: Compiled Rust binary in
target/release/
-- Registration: Via
plugin add command
-- IPC: Communication via Nushell’s JSON protocol
-- Fallback: HTTP API fallback if plugins unavailable
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-For issues or questions:
-
-- Check plugin status:
provisioning plugin test
-- Review logs:
provisioning logs or /var/log/provisioning/
-- Test HTTP fallback by temporarily unregistering plugins
-- Contact the provisioning team with plugin test output

-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
-
-
-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):
-
-$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
-$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519
-$HOME/.ssh/provisioning
-$HOME/.ssh/provisioning_rsa
-
-
-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)
-
-
-| 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 |

-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.

-- Nushell 0.107.1+
-- Git installed and configured
-- Docker (for local Gitea deployment) or access to remote Gitea instance
-- SOPS (for encrypted token storage)
-
-
-
-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"
- }
-}
-
-
-For local Gitea:
-
-- Start Gitea:
provisioning gitea start
-- Open http://localhost:3000
-- Register admin account
-- Go to Settings → Applications → Generate New Token
-- 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:
-
-- Login to your Gitea instance
-- Generate personal access token
-- Save encrypted as above
-
-
-# Check Gitea status
-provisioning gitea status
-
-# Validate token
-provisioning gitea auth validate
-
-# Show current user
-provisioning gitea user
-
-
-
-
-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:
-
-- Initialize git repository in workspace
-- Create repository on Gitea (
workspaces/my-workspace)
-- Add remote origin
-- Push initial commit
-
-
-# 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 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
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-# Get workspace git status
-provisioning workspace git status
-
-# Show uncommitted changes
-provisioning workspace git diff
-
-# Show staged changes
-provisioning workspace git diff --staged
-
-
-
-Distributed locking prevents concurrent modifications to workspaces using Gitea issues.
-
-
-- read: Multiple readers allowed, blocks writers
-- write: Exclusive access, blocks all other locks
-- deploy: Exclusive access for deployments
-
-
-# Acquire write lock
-provisioning gitea lock acquire my-workspace write \
- --operation "Deploying servers" \
- --expiry "2025-10-06T14:00:00Z"
-
-# Output:

-provisioning gitea lock release my-workspace 42
-
-
-# Force release stuck lock
-provisioning gitea lock force-release my-workspace 42 \
- --reason "Deployment failed, releasing lock"
-
-
-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
-}
-
-
-# Cleanup expired locks
-provisioning gitea lock cleanup
-
-
-
-Publish taskservs, providers, and clusters as versioned releases on Gitea.
-
-# 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 \

- 2.0.0 \
- --prerelease
-
-# Publish cluster
-provisioning gitea extension publish \
- ./extensions/clusters/buildkit \
- 1.0.0
-
-This will:
-
-- Validate extension structure
-- Create git tag (if workspace is git repo)
-- Package extension as
.tar.gz
-- Create Gitea release
-- Upload package as release asset
-
-
-# List all extensions

-- Overview
-- Quick Start
-- OCI Commands Reference
-- Dependency Management
-- Extension Development
-- Registry Setup
-- Troubleshooting
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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.).
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-# Start lightweight OCI registry (Zot)
-provisioning oci-registry start
-
-# Verify registry is running
-curl http://localhost:5000/v2/_catalog
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-# List all extensions
-provisioning oci list
-
-# Search for specific extension
-provisioning oci search kubernetes
-
-# Show available versions
-provisioning oci tags kubernetes
-
-
-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"
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-
-
-Download extension from OCI registry
-provisioning oci pull <artifact>:<version> [OPTIONS]
-
-# Examples:
-provisioning oci pull kubernetes:1.28.0
-provisioning oci pull redis:7.0.0 --registry harbor.company.com
-provisioning oci pull postgres:15.0 --insecure # Skip TLS verification
-
-Options:
-
---registry <endpoint>: Override registry (default: from config)
---namespace <name>: Override namespace (default: provisioning-extensions)
---destination <path>: Local installation path
---insecure: Skip TLS certificate verification
-
-
-
-Publish extension to OCI registry
-provisioning oci push <source-path> <name> <version> [OPTIONS]
-
-# Examples:
-provisioning oci push ./extensions/taskservs/redis redis 1.0.0
-provisioning oci push ./my-provider aws 2.1.0 --registry localhost:5000
-
-Options:
-
---registry <endpoint>: Target registry
---namespace <name>: Target namespace
---insecure: Skip TLS verification
-
-Prerequisites:
-
-- Extension must have valid
manifest.yaml
-- Must be logged in to registry (see
oci login)
-
-
-
-Show available extensions in registry
-provisioning oci list [OPTIONS]
-
-# Examples:
-provisioning oci list

-
-✅ 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
-
-
-
-✅ 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
-
-
-
-✅ 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
-
-
-
-✅ 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

-For: provisioning v3.6.0+
-
-Access powerful functionality from prov-ecosystem and provctl directly through provisioning CLI.
-
-
-
-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 |

-# 1. Check what runtimes you have available
-provisioning runtime list
-
-# 2. Detect which runtime provisioning will use
-provisioning runtime detect
-
-# 3. Verify runtime works

-Expected Output:
-Available runtimes:
- • docker
- • podman
-
-
-
-
-Automatically detects and uses Docker, Podman, OrbStack, Colima, or nerdctl - whichever is available on your system. Eliminates hardcoding “docker” commands.

-#!/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
-
-
-
-
-Solution: Install Docker, Podman, or OrbStack:
-# macOS
-brew install orbstack
-
-# Linux
-sudo apt-get install docker.io
-
-# Then verify
-provisioning runtime detect
-
-
-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
-
-
-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

-| Version | Date | Changes |
-| 1.0.0 | 2025-10-06 | Initial test environment service |
-
-
-
-Maintained By: Infrastructure Team
-
-
-A comprehensive containerized test environment service has been integrated into the orchestrator, enabling automated testing of taskservs, complete
-servers, and multi-node clusters without manual Docker management.
-
-
-- Automated Container Management: No manual Docker operations required
-- Three Test Environment Types: Single taskserv, server simulation, multi-node clusters
-- Multi-Node Support: Test complex topologies (Kubernetes HA, etcd clusters)
-- Network Isolation: Each test environment gets dedicated Docker networks
-- Resource Management: Configurable CPU, memory, and disk limits
-- Topology Templates: Predefined cluster configurations for common scenarios
-- Auto-Cleanup: Optional automatic cleanup after tests complete
-- CI/CD Integration: Easy integration into automated pipelines
-
-
-
-Test individual taskserv in isolated container:
-# Quick test (create, run, cleanup)
-provisioning test quick kubernetes
-
-# With custom resources
-provisioning test env single postgres --cpu 2000 --memory 4096 --auto-start --auto-cleanup
-
-# With infrastructure context
-provisioning test env single redis --infra my-project
-
-
-Test complete server configurations with multiple taskservs:
-# Simulate web server
-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
-
-
-Test complex cluster configurations before deployment:
-# 3-node Kubernetes HA cluster
-provisioning test topology load kubernetes_3node | test env cluster kubernetes --auto-start
-
-# etcd cluster
-provisioning test topology load etcd_cluster | test env cluster etcd --auto-start
-
-# Single-node Kubernetes
-provisioning test topology load kubernetes_single | test env cluster kubernetes
-
-
-# List all test environments
-provisioning test env list

-Predefined multi-node cluster templates in provisioning/config/test-topologies.toml:
-| Template | Description | Nodes | Use Case |
-kubernetes_3node | K8s HA cluster | 1 CP + 2 workers | Production-like testing |
-kubernetes_single | All-in-one K8s | 1 node | Development testing |
-etcd_cluster | etcd cluster | 3 members | Distributed consensus |
-containerd_test | Standalone containerd | 1 node | Container runtime |

-provisioning taskserv validate kubernetes --level dependencies
-
-Check against infrastructure:
-provisioning taskserv check-deps kubernetes --infra my-project
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-# Run all validation levels
-provisioning taskserv validate kubernetes --level all -v
-
-

-
-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
-
-
-If conflicting taskservs are detected:
-
-- Remove conflicting taskserv first
-- Check infrastructure configuration
-- Review dependency declarations in
dependencies.ncl
-
-
-
-
-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)
+
+Document your configuration choices:
+# provisioning.yaml
+configuration:
+ provider: "upcloud"
+ reason: "Primary European cloud"
- # Additional custom checks
- # ...
+ backup_strategy: "daily"
+ reason: "Compliance requirement"
- return $result
-}
+ monitoring: "enabled"
+ reason: "SLA monitoring"
-
-Validate multiple taskservs:
-# Validate all taskservs in infrastructure
-for taskserv in (provisioning taskserv list | get name) {
- provisioning taskserv validate $taskserv
-}
-
-
-Create test suite for all taskservs:
-#!/usr/bin/env nu
+
+# Validate before deployment
+provisioning validate config --strict
-let taskservs = ["kubernetes", "containerd", "cilium", "etcd"]
+# Export and inspect
+provisioning config export --format yaml | less
-for ts in $taskservs {
- print $"Testing ($ts)..."
- provisioning taskserv test $ts --runtime docker
-}
+# Test provider connectivity
+provisioning providers test --all
-
-
-
-
-- Always validate before deploying to production
-- Run check mode to preview changes
-- Test in sandbox for critical services
-- Check dependencies in infrastructure context
-
-
-
-- Validate frequently during taskserv development
-- Use verbose mode to understand validation details
-- Fix warnings even if validation passes
-- Keep containers for debugging test failures
-
-
-
-- Fail fast on validation errors
-- Require all tests pass before merge
-- Generate reports in JSON format for analysis
-- Archive test results for audit trail

-Native plugins provide 10-50x performance improvement for authentication, KMS, and orchestrator operations.
-
-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
-
-
-# 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)
-
-
-# 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 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
-
-
-# List registered plugins
-plugin list | where name =~ "auth|kms|orch"

-
-# For Age encryption (local development)
-$env.AGE_IDENTITY = $"($env.HOME)/.age/key.txt"
-$env.AGE_RECIPIENT = "age1xxxxxxxxx" # Replace with your public key
-
-
-# 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.
-
-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
-
-
-

-A workspace is a self-contained environment for managing infrastructure.
-
-# 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
-
-
-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",
- },
-}
-
-
-# Show workspace info
-provisioning workspace info
-
-# List all workspaces
-provisioning workspace list
-
-# Show active workspace
-provisioning workspace active
-# Expected: production
-
-
-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

-This guide is part of the provisioning project documentation. Last updated: 2025-09-30
-
-Goal: Customize infrastructure using layers, templates, and configuration patterns
-Time: 20-40 minutes
-Difficulty: Intermediate to Advanced
-
-This guide covers:
-
-- Understanding the layer system
-- Using templates
-- Creating custom modules
-- Configuration inheritance
-- Advanced customization patterns
-
-
-
-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.
-
-# Explain layer concept
-provisioning lyr explain
-
-Expected Output:
-📚 LAYER SYSTEM EXPLAINED
-
-The layer system provides configuration inheritance across 3 levels:
-
-🔵 CORE LAYER (100) - System Defaults
- Location: provisioning/extensions/
- • Base taskserv configurations
- • Default provider settings
- • Standard cluster templates
- • Built-in extensions
-
-🟢 WORKSPACE LAYER (200) - Shared Templates
- Location: provisioning/workspace/templates/
- • Organization-wide patterns
- • Reusable configurations
- • Team standards
- • Custom extensions
-
-🔴 INFRASTRUCTURE LAYER (300) - Project Specific
- Location: workspace/infra/{project}/
- • Project-specific overrides
- • Environment customizations
- • Local modifications
- • Runtime settings
-
-Resolution: Infrastructure → Workspace → Core
-Higher priority layers override lower ones.
-
-# Show layer resolution for your project
-provisioning lyr show my-production
-
-Expected Output:
-📊 Layer Resolution for my-production:
-
-LAYER PRIORITY SOURCE FILES
-Infrastructure 300 workspace/infra/my-production/ 4 files
- • servers.ncl (overrides)
- • taskservs.ncl (overrides)
- • clusters.ncl (custom)
- • providers.ncl (overrides)
-
-Workspace 200 provisioning/workspace/templates/ 2 files
- • production.ncl (used)
- • kubernetes.ncl (used)

+You’ve completed the from-scratch guide and learned:
+
+- Platform installation and configuration
+- Provider credential setup
+- Workspace creation and management
+- Infrastructure definition with Nickel
+- Server and task service deployment
+- Kubernetes cluster deployment
+- Security configuration
+- Multi-cloud deployment
+- Monitoring and maintenance
+- Custom workflow creation
+
+Your Provisioning platform is now ready for production use.
+
+
+Comprehensive guide to deploying and managing infrastructure across multiple cloud providers
+using the Provisioning platform. This guide covers strategies, patterns, and real-world examples
+for building resilient multi-cloud architectures.
+
+Multi-cloud deployment enables:
+
+- Vendor independence - Avoid lock-in to single cloud provider
+- Geographic distribution - Deploy closer to users worldwide
+- Resilience - Survive provider outages or regional failures
+- Cost optimization - Leverage competitive pricing across providers
+- Compliance - Meet data residency and sovereignty requirements
+- Performance - Optimize latency through strategic placement
+
+
+
+One provider serves production traffic, another provides disaster recovery.
+Use cases:
+
+- Cost-conscious deployments
+- Regulatory backup requirements
+- Testing multi-cloud capabilities
+
+Example topology:
+Primary (UpCloud EU) Backup (AWS US)
+├── Production workloads ├── Standby replicas
+├── Active databases ├── Read-only databases
+├── Live traffic └── Failover ready
+└── Real-time sync ────────────>
+
+Pros: Simple management, lower costs, proven failover
+Cons: Backup resources underutilized, sync lag
+
+Multiple providers serve production traffic simultaneously.
+Use cases:
+
+- High availability requirements
+- Global user base
+- Zero-downtime deployments
+
+Example topology:
+UpCloud (EU) AWS (US) Local (Development)
+├── EU traffic ├── US traffic ├── Testing
+├── Primary database ├── Primary database ├── CI/CD
+└── Global load balancer ←────┴──────────────────────────────┘
+
+Pros: Maximum availability, optimized latency, full utilization
+Cons: Complex management, higher costs, data consistency challenges
+
+Different providers for different workload types based on strengths.
+Use cases:
+
+- Heterogeneous workloads
+- Cost optimization
+- Leveraging provider-specific services
+
+Example topology:
+UpCloud AWS Local
+├── Compute-intensive ├── Object storage (S3) ├── Development
+├── Kubernetes clusters ├── Managed databases (RDS) └── Testing
+└── High-performance VMs └── Serverless (Lambda)
+
+Pros: Optimize for provider strengths, cost-effective, flexible
+Cons: Complex integration, vendor-specific knowledge required
+
+Provider selection based on regulatory and data residency requirements.
+Use cases:
+
+- GDPR compliance
+- Data sovereignty
+- Industry regulations (HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
+
+Example topology:
+UpCloud (EU - GDPR) AWS (US - FedRAMP) On-Premises (Sensitive)
+├── EU customer data ├── US customer data ├── PII storage
+├── GDPR-compliant ├── US compliance └── Encrypted backups
+└── Regional processing └── Federal workloads
+
+Pros: Meets compliance requirements, data sovereignty
+Cons: Geographic constraints, complex data management

+ parallel_limit = 2
+ retry_failed = true
+ max_retries = 3

+Define and manage infrastructure using Nickel, the type-safe configuration
+language that serves as Provisioning’s source of truth.
+
+Provisioning’s infrastructure definition system provides:
+
+- Type-safe configuration via Nickel language with mandatory schema validation and contract enforcement
+- Complete provider support for AWS, UpCloud, Hetzner, Kubernetes, on-premise, and custom platforms
+- 50+ task services for specialized infrastructure operations (databases, monitoring, logging, networking)
+- Pre-built clusters for common patterns (web, OCI registry, cache, distributed computing)
+- Batch workflows with DAG scheduling, parallel execution, and multi-cloud orchestration
+- Schema validation with inheritance, merging, and contracts ensuring correctness
+- Configuration composition with includes, profiles, and environment-specific overrides
+- Version management with semantic versioning and deprecation paths
+
+All infrastructure is defined in Nickel (never TOML) ensuring compile-time correctness and runtime safety.

+- ❌ KCL: Deprecated, completely replaced by Nickel
+
+This ensures:
+
+- Compile-time validation - Errors caught before deployment
+- Schema enforcement - All configurations conform to contracts
+- Type safety - No runtime configuration errors

+Comprehensive guide to using Nickel as the infrastructure-as-code language for the Provisioning platform.
+
+TYPE-SAFETY ALWAYS REQUIRED: ALL configurations MUST be type-safe and validated via Nickel.
+TOML is NOT acceptable as source of truth. Validation is NOT optional, NOT “progressive”,
+NOT “production-only”. This applies to ALL profiles (developer, production, cicd).
+Nickel is the PRIMARY IaC language. TOML files are GENERATED OUTPUT ONLY, never the source.
+
+Nickel provides:
+
+- Type Safety: Static type checking catches errors before deployment
+- Lazy Evaluation: Efficient configuration composition and merging
+- Contract System: Schema validation with gradual typing
+- Record Merging: Powerful composition without duplication
+- LSP Support: IDE integration for autocomplete and validation
+- Human-Readable: Clear syntax for infrastructure definition
+
+
+# macOS (Homebrew)
+brew install nickel
+
+# Linux (Cargo)
+cargo install nickel-lang-cli
+
+# Verify installation
+nickel --version # 1.15.1+
+
+
+
+Records are the fundamental data structure in Nickel:
+{
+ name = "my-server"
+ plan = "medium"
+ zone = "de-fra1"
+}
+
+
+Add type safety with contracts:
+{
+ name : String = "my-server"
+ plan : String = "medium"
+ cpu_count : Number = 4
+ enabled : Bool = true
+}
+
+
+Compose configurations by merging records:
+let base_config = {
+ provider = "upcloud"
+ region = "de-fra1"
+} in
+
+let server_config = base_config & {
+ name = "web-01"
+ plan = "medium"
+} in
+
+server_config
+
+Result:
+{
+ provider = "upcloud"
+ region = "de-fra1"
+ name = "web-01"
+ plan = "medium"
+}
+
+
+Define contracts to validate structure:
+let ServerContract = {
+ name | String
+ plan | String | default = "small"
+ zone | String | default = "de-fra1"
+ cpu | Number | optional
+} in
+
+{
+ name = "my-server"
+ plan = "large"
+} | ServerContract
+
+
+The platform uses a standardized three-file pattern for all schemas:
+
+Defines the schema contracts:
+# contracts.ncl
+{
+ Server = {
+ name | String
+ plan | String | default = "small"
+ zone | String | default = "de-fra1"
+ disk_size_gb | Number | default = 25
+ backup_enabled | Bool | default = false
+ role | | [ 'control, 'worker, 'standalone | ] | optional
+ }
+
+ Infrastructure = {
+ servers | Array Server
+ provider | String
+ environment | | [ 'development, 'staging, 'production | ]
+ }
+}
+
+
+Provides sensible defaults:
+# defaults.ncl
+{
+ server = {
+ name = "unnamed-server"
+ plan = "small"
+ zone = "de-fra1"
+ disk_size_gb = 25
+ backup_enabled = false
+ }
+
+ infrastructure = {
+ servers = []
+ provider = "local"
+ environment = 'development
+ }
+}
+
+
+Combines contracts and defaults, provides makers:
+# main.ncl
+let contracts_lib = import "./contracts.ncl" in
+let defaults_lib = import "./defaults.ncl" in
+
+{
+ # Direct access to defaults (for inspection)
+ defaults = defaults_lib
+
+ # Convenience makers (90% of use cases)
+ make_server | not_exported = fun overrides =>
+ defaults_lib.server & overrides
+
+ make_infrastructure | not_exported = fun overrides =>
+ defaults_lib.infrastructure & overrides
+
+ # Default instances (bare defaults)
+ DefaultServer = defaults_lib.server
+ DefaultInfrastructure = defaults_lib.infrastructure
+}
+
+
+# user-infra.ncl
+let infra_lib = import "provisioning/schemas/infrastructure/main.ncl" in
+
+infra_lib.make_infrastructure {
+ provider = "upcloud"
+ environment = 'production
+ servers = [
+ infra_lib.make_server {
+ name = "web-01"
+ plan = "medium"
+ backup_enabled = true
+ }
+ infra_lib.make_server {
+ name = "web-02"
+ plan = "medium"
+ backup_enabled = true
}
]
}
+
+
+Records can be used both as functions (makers) and as plain data:
+let config_lib = import "./config.ncl" in
+
+# Use as function (with overrides)
+let custom_config = config_lib.make_server { name = "custom" } in
+
+# Use as plain data (defaults)
+let default_config = config_lib.DefaultServer in
+
+{
+ custom = custom_config
+ default = default_config
+}
+
+
+
+let base = { a = 1, b = 2 } in
+let override = { b = 3, c = 4 } in
+base & override
+# Result: { a = 1, b = 3, c = 4 }
+
+
+let base = {
+ server = { cpu = 2, ram = 4 }
+} in
+
+let override = {
+ server = { ram = 8, disk = 100 }
+} in
+
+std.record.merge_all [base, override]
+# Result: { server = { cpu = 2, ram = 8, disk = 100 } }
+
+
+Nickel evaluates expressions lazily, only when needed:
+let expensive_computation = std.string.join " " ["a", "b", "c"] in
+
+{
+ # Only evaluated when accessed
+ computed_field = expensive_computation
+
+ # Conditional evaluation
+ conditional = if environment == 'production then
+ expensive_computation
+ else
+ "dev-value"
+}
+

+
+The Provisioning platform uses a hierarchical configuration system with Nickel as the source of
+truth for infrastructure definitions and TOML/YAML for application settings.
+
+Configuration is loaded in order of precedence (highest to lowest):
+1. Runtime Arguments - CLI flags (--config, --workspace, etc.)
+2. Environment Variables - PROVISIONING_* environment variables
+3. User Configuration - ~/.config/provisioning/user_config.yaml
+4. Infrastructure Config - Nickel schemas in workspace/provisioning
+5. System Defaults - provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml
+
+Later sources override earlier ones, allowing flexible configuration management across environments.
+
+
+Located at provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml:
+[general]
+log_level = "info"
+workspace_root = "./workspaces"
+
+[providers]
+default_provider = "local"
+
+[orchestrator]
+max_parallel_tasks = 4
+checkpoint_enabled = true
+
+
+Located at ~/.config/provisioning/user_config.yaml:
+general:
+ preferred_editor: nvim
+ default_workspace: production
+
+providers:
+ upcloud:
+ default_zone: fi-hel1
+ aws:
+ default_region: eu-west-1
+
+
+Nickel-based infrastructure configuration in workspace directories:
+workspace/
+├── config/
+│ ├── main.ncl # Workspace configuration
+│ ├── providers.ncl # Provider definitions
+│ └── variables.ncl # Workspace variables
+├── infra/
+│ └── servers.ncl # Infrastructure definitions
+└── .workspace/
+ └── metadata.toml # Workspace metadata
+
+
+All configuration can be overridden via environment variables:
+export PROVISIONING_LOG_LEVEL=debug
+export PROVISIONING_WORKSPACE=production
+export PROVISIONING_PROVIDER=upcloud
+export PROVISIONING_DRY_RUN=true
+
+Variable naming: PROVISIONING_<SECTION>_<KEY> (uppercase with underscores).
+
+The platform provides 476+ configuration accessors for programmatic access:
+# Get configuration value
+provisioning config get general.log_level
+
+# Set configuration value (workspace-scoped)
+provisioning config set providers.default_provider upcloud
+
+# List all configuration
+provisioning config list
+
+# Validate configuration
+provisioning config validate
+
+
+Configuration supports profiles for different environments:
+[profiles.development]
+log_level = "debug"
+dry_run = true
+
+[profiles.production]
+log_level = "warn"
+dry_run = false
+checkpoint_enabled = true
+
+Activate profile:
+provisioning --profile production deploy
+
+
+Workspace configurations inherit from system defaults:
+# workspace/config/main.ncl
+let parent = import "../../provisioning/schemas/defaults.ncl" in
+parent & {
+ # Override specific values
+ general.log_level = "debug",
+ providers.default_provider = "aws",
+}
+
+
+Sensitive configuration is encrypted using SOPS/Age:
+# Encrypt configuration
+sops --encrypt --age <public-key> secrets.yaml > secrets.enc.yaml
+
+# Decrypt and use
+provisioning deploy --secrets secrets.enc.yaml
+
+Integration with SecretumVault for enterprise secrets management (see Secrets Management).
+
+All Nickel-based configuration is validated before use:
+# Validate workspace configuration
+provisioning config validate
+
+# Check schema compliance
+nickel export --format json workspace/config/main.ncl
+
+Type-safety is mandatory - invalid configuration is rejected at load time.
+
+
+- Use Nickel for infrastructure - Type-safe, validated infrastructure definitions
+- Use TOML for application settings - Simple key-value configuration
+- Encrypt secrets - Never commit unencrypted credentials
+- Document overrides - Comment why values differ from defaults
+- Validate before deploy - Always run
config validate before deployment
+- Version control - Track configuration changes in Git
+- Profile separation - Isolate development/staging/production configs
+
+
+
+Check precedence order:
+# Show effective configuration
+provisioning config show --debug
+
+# Trace configuration loading
+PROVISIONING_LOG_LEVEL=trace provisioning config list
+
+
+# Check Nickel syntax
+nickel typecheck workspace/config/main.ncl
+
+# Export and inspect
+nickel export workspace/config/main.ncl
+
+
+# List all PROVISIONING_* variables
+env | grep PROVISIONING_
+
+# Clear all provisioning env vars
+unset $(env | grep PROVISIONING_ | cut -d= -f1 | xargs)

+
+Invalid configurations are rejected before deployment.
+
+
+- Define contracts first - Start with type contracts before implementation
+- Use enums for choices - Leverage
| [ 'option1, 'option2 | ] for fixed sets
+- Document everything - Use
|doc "description" annotations
+- Validate early - Run
nickel typecheck before deployment
+- Compose, don’t duplicate - Use record merging for common patterns
+- Version schemas - Track schema changes alongside infrastructure
+- Test contracts - Validate edge cases and constraints

+Supported zones:
+
+fi-hel1, fi-hel2 - Helsinki, Finland
+de-fra1 - Frankfurt, Germany
+uk-lon1 - London, UK
+us-chi1 - Chicago, USA
+us-sjo1 - San Jose, USA

+ {name = "api-backend", provider = 'aws, zone = "eu-west-1a", plan = 't3.large},
+ ]
+}
+
+
+Abstract resource definitions work across providers:
+let server_config = fun name provider => {
+ name = name,
+ provider = provider,
+ plan = 'medium, # Automatically translated per provider
+ storage = [{size_gb = 50, type = 'ssd}],
+}
+
+Plan translation:
+| Abstract | UpCloud | AWS | Local |
+| small | 1xCPU-1GB | t3.micro | 1 vCPU |
+| medium | 2xCPU-4GB | t3.medium | 2 vCPU |
+| large | 4xCPU-8GB | t3.large | 4 vCPU |
+| xlarge | 8xCPU-16GB | t3.xlarge | 8 vCPU |
+
+
+
+
+- Use abstract plans - Avoid provider-specific instance types
+- Encrypt credentials - Always use encrypted secrets for API keys
+- Test locally first - Validate configurations with local provider
+- Document provider choices - Comment why specific providers are used
+- Monitor costs - Track cloud provider spending
+

+Generate lock file for reproducible deployments:
+# Generate lock file
+provisioning version lock
+
+# Creates versions.lock.ncl with exact versions
+
+versions.lock.ncl:
+{
+ task_services = {
+ kubernetes = "1.28.3",
+ prometheus = "2.45.2",

+ nginx = "1.25.3"
+ },
+ providers = {
+ upcloud = "1.2.0",
+ aws = "3.5.1"
+ }
+}
+
+Use lock file:
+let locked = import "versions.lock.ncl" in
+{
+ task_services = [
+ {name = "kubernetes", version = locked.task_services.kubernetes}
+ ]
+}
+
+
+
+# Check available updates
+provisioning version check
+
+# Show outdated components
+provisioning version outdated
+
+Output:
+Component Current Latest Update Available
+kubernetes 1.28.0 1.29.2 Minor update
+prometheus 2.45.0 2.47.0 Minor update
+grafana 10.0.0 11.0.0 Major update (breaking)
+
+
+Conservative (patch only):
+{
+ update_policy = 'conservative, # Only patch updates
+}
+
+Moderate (minor updates):
+{
+ update_policy = 'moderate, # Patch + minor updates
+}
+
+Aggressive (all updates):
+{

+
+
+Validate version compatibility:
+# Check compatibility
+provisioning version validate
+
+# Check specific component
+provisioning version validate kubernetes
+
+Compatibility rules defined in schemas:
+{
+ name = "grafana",
+ version = "10.0.0",
+ compatibility = {
+ prometheus = ">=2.40.0", # Requires Prometheus 2.40+
+ kubernetes = ">=1.24.0" # Requires Kubernetes 1.24+
+ }
+}
+
+
+When multiple constraints conflict, resolution strategy:
+
+- Exact version - Highest priority
+- Compatibility constraints - From dependencies
+- User constraints - From configuration
+- Latest compatible - Within constraints
+
+Example resolution:
+# Component A requires: kubernetes >=1.28.0
+# Component B requires: kubernetes <1.30.0
+# User specifies: kubernetes ^1.28.0
+
+# Resolved: kubernetes 1.29.x (latest compatible)
+
+
+Pin critical components:
+{
+ task_services = [
+ {
+ name = "kubernetes",
+ version = "1.28.3",
+ pinned = true # Never auto-update
+ }
+ ]
+}
+
+
+Rollback to previous versions:
+# Show version history
+provisioning version history
+
+# Rollback to previous version
+provisioning version rollback kubernetes
+
+# Rollback to specific version
+provisioning version rollback kubernetes --version 1.28.0
+
+
+
+- Use version constraints - Avoid
latest tag
+- Lock versions - Generate and commit lock files
+- Test updates - Validate in non-production first
+- Pin critical components - Prevent unexpected updates
+- Document compatibility - Specify version requirements
+- Monitor updates - Track new releases
+- Gradual rollout - Update incrementally
+
+
+Access version information programmatically:
+# Show component versions
+provisioning version list
+
+# Export versions to JSON
+provisioning version export --format json
+
+# Compare versions
+provisioning version compare <component> <version1> <version2>
+
+
+# .gitlab-ci.yml example
+deploy:
+ script:
+ - provisioning version lock --verify # Verify lock file
+ - provisioning version validate # Check compatibility
+ - provisioning deploy # Deploy with locked versions
+
+
+
+# Show dependency tree

+Workspaces are the default organizational unit for all infrastructure work in Provisioning.
+Every infrastructure project, deployment environment, or isolated configuration lives within a
+workspace. This workspace-first approach provides clean separation between projects,
+environments, and teams while enabling rapid context switching.
+
+A workspace is an isolated environment that groups together:
+
+- Infrastructure definitions - Nickel schemas, server configs, cluster definitions
+- Configuration settings - Environment-specific settings, provider credentials, user preferences
+- Runtime data - State files, checkpoints, logs, generated configurations
+- Extensions - Custom providers, task services, workflow templates
+
+The workspace system enforces that all infrastructure operations (server creation, task service
+installation, cluster deployment) require an active workspace. This prevents accidental
+cross-project modifications and ensures configuration isolation.
+
+Traditional infrastructure tools often mix configurations across projects, leading to:
+
+- Accidental deployments to wrong environments
+- Configuration drift between dev/staging/production
+- Credential leakage across projects
+- Difficulty tracking infrastructure boundaries
+
+Provisioning’s workspace-first approach solves these problems by making workspace boundaries explicit and enforced at the CLI level.
+
+Every workspace follows a consistent directory structure:
+workspace_my_project/
+├── infra/ # Infrastructure definitions (Nickel schemas)
+│ ├── my-cluster.ncl # Cluster definition
+│ ├── servers.ncl # Server configurations
+│ └── batch-workflows.ncl # Batch workflow definitions
+│
+├── config/ # Workspace configuration
+│ ├── local-overrides.toml # User-specific overrides (gitignored)
+│ ├── dev-defaults.toml # Development environment defaults
+│ ├── test-defaults.toml # Testing environment defaults
+│ ├── prod-defaults.toml # Production environment defaults
+│ └── provisioning.yaml # Workspace metadata and settings
+│
+├── extensions/ # Workspace-specific extensions
+│ ├── providers/ # Custom cloud providers
+│ ├── taskservs/ # Custom task services
+│ ├── clusters/ # Custom cluster templates
+│ └── workflows/ # Custom workflow definitions
+│
+└── runtime/ # Runtime data (gitignored)
+ ├── state/ # Infrastructure state files
+ ├── checkpoints/ # Workflow checkpoints
+ ├── logs/ # Operation logs
+ └── generated/ # Generated configuration files
+
+
+Workspace configurations follow a 5-layer hierarchy:
+1. System Defaults (provisioning/config/config.defaults.toml)
+ ↓ overridden by
+2. User Config (~/.config/provisioning/user_config.yaml)
+ ↓ overridden by
+3. Workspace Config (workspace/config/provisioning.yaml)
+ ↓ overridden by
+4. Environment Config (workspace/config/{dev,test,prod}-defaults.toml)
+ ↓ overridden by
+5. Runtime Flags (--flag value)
+
+This hierarchy ensures sensible defaults while allowing granular control at every level.
+
+
+# Create new workspace
+provisioning workspace init my-project
+
+# Create workspace with specific location
+provisioning workspace init my-project --path /custom/location
+
+# Create from template
+provisioning workspace init my-project --template kubernetes-ha
+
+
+# List all workspaces
+provisioning workspace list
+
+# Show active workspace
+provisioning workspace status
+
+# List with details
+provisioning workspace list --verbose
+
+Example output:
+NAME PATH LAST_USED STATUS
+my-project /workspaces/workspace_my_project 2026-01-15 10:30 Active
+dev-env /workspaces/workspace_dev_env 2026-01-14 15:45
+production /workspaces/workspace_production 2026-01-10 09:00
+
+
+# Switch to different workspace (single command)
+provisioning workspace switch my-project
+
+# Switch with validation
+provisioning workspace switch production --validate
+
+# Quick switch using shortcut
+provisioning ws switch dev-env
+
+Workspace switching updates:
+
+- Active workspace marker in user configuration
+- Environment variables for current session
+- CLI prompt indicator (if configured)
+- Last-used timestamp
+
+
+# Delete workspace (requires confirmation)
+provisioning workspace delete old-project
+
+# Force delete without confirmation
+provisioning workspace delete old-project --force
+
+# Delete but keep backups
+provisioning workspace delete old-project --backup
+
+Deletion safety:
+
+- Requires explicit confirmation unless
--force is used
+- Optionally creates backup before deletion
+- Validates no active operations are running
+- Updates workspace registry
+
+
+The workspace registry is stored in user configuration and tracks all workspaces:
+# ~/.config/provisioning/user_config.yaml
+workspaces:
+ active: my-project
+ registry:
+ my-project:
+ path: /workspaces/workspace_my_project
+ created: 2026-01-15T10:30:00Z
+ last_used: 2026-01-15T14:20:00Z
+ template: default
+ dev-env:
+ path: /workspaces/workspace_dev_env
+ created: 2026-01-10T08:00:00Z
+ last_used: 2026-01-14T15:45:00Z
+ template: development
+
+This centralized registry enables:
+
+- Fast workspace discovery
+- Usage tracking and statistics
+- Workspace templates
+- Path resolution
+
+
+The CLI enforces workspace requirements for all infrastructure operations:
+Workspace-exempt commands (work without active workspace):
+
+provisioning help
+provisioning version
+provisioning workspace *
+provisioning guide *
+provisioning setup *
+provisioning providers (list only)
+
+Workspace-required commands (require active workspace):
+
+provisioning server create
+provisioning taskserv install
+provisioning cluster deploy
+provisioning batch submit
+- All infrastructure modification operations
+
+If no workspace is active, workspace-required commands fail with:
+Error: No active workspace
+Please activate or create a workspace:
+ provisioning workspace init <name>
+ provisioning workspace switch <name>
+
+This enforcement prevents accidental infrastructure modifications outside workspace boundaries.
+
+Templates provide pre-configured workspace structures for common use cases:
+
+| Template | Description | Use Case |
+default | Minimal workspace structure | General purpose infrastructure |
+kubernetes-ha | HA Kubernetes setup with 3 control planes | Production Kubernetes deployments |
+development | Dev-optimized with Docker Compose | Local testing and development |
+multi-cloud | Multiple provider configurations | Multi-cloud deployments |
+database-cluster | Database-focused with backup configs | Database infrastructure |
+cicd | CI/CD pipeline configurations | Automated deployment pipelines |
+
+
+
+# Create from template
+provisioning workspace init my-k8s --template kubernetes-ha
+
+# List available templates
+provisioning workspace templates
+
+# Show template details
+provisioning workspace template show kubernetes-ha
+
+Templates pre-populate:
+
+- Infrastructure Nickel schemas
+- Provider configurations
+- Environment-specific defaults
+- Example workflow definitions
+- README with usage instructions
+
+
+Workspaces excel at managing multiple environments:
+
+# Create dedicated workspaces
+provisioning workspace init myapp-dev
+provisioning workspace init myapp-staging
+provisioning workspace init myapp-prod
+
+# Switch between environments
+provisioning ws switch myapp-dev
+provisioning server create # Creates in dev
+
+provisioning ws switch myapp-prod
+provisioning server create # Creates in prod (isolated)
+
+Pros: Complete isolation, different credentials, independent state
+Cons: More workspace management, duplicate configuration
+
+# Single workspace with environment configs
+provisioning workspace init myapp
+
+# Deploy to different environments using flags
+PROVISIONING_ENV=dev provisioning server create
+PROVISIONING_ENV=staging provisioning server create
+PROVISIONING_ENV=prod provisioning server create
+
+Pros: Shared configuration, easier to maintain
+Cons: Shared credentials, risk of cross-environment mistakes
+
+# Dev workspace for experimentation
+provisioning workspace init myapp-dev
+
+# Prod workspace for production only
+provisioning workspace init myapp-prod
+
+# Use environment flags within workspaces
+provisioning ws switch myapp-prod
+PROVISIONING_ENV=prod provisioning cluster deploy
+
+Pros: Balances isolation and convenience
+Cons: More complex to explain to teams
+
+
+# Good names (descriptive, unique)
+workspace_librecloud_production
+workspace_myapp_dev

+
+The CLI features a bi-directional help system that works in both directions:
+# Both of these work identically
+provisioning help workspace
+provisioning workspace help
+
+# Shortcuts also work
+provisioning help ws
+provisioning ws help
+
+# Category help
+provisioning help infrastructure
+provisioning help orchestration
+
+This flexibility improves discoverability and aligns with natural user expectations.
+
+All global flags are handled consistently across all commands:
+
+| Flag | Short | Purpose | Example |
+--debug | -d | Enable debug mode | provisioning --debug server create |
+--check | -c | Dry-run mode (no changes) | provisioning --check server delete |
+--yes | -y | Auto-confirm operations | provisioning --yes cluster delete |
+--infra | -i | Specify infrastructure | provisioning --infra my-cluster server list |
+--verbose | -v | Verbose output | provisioning --verbose workflow list |
+--quiet | -q | Minimal output | provisioning --quiet batch submit |
+--format | -f | Output format (json/yaml/table) | provisioning --format json server list |
+
+
+
+# Server creation flags
+provisioning server create --plan large --region us-east-1 --zone a
+
+# TaskServ installation flags
+provisioning taskserv install kubernetes --version 1.29.0 --ha
+
+# Cluster deployment flags
+provisioning cluster deploy --replicas 3 --storage 100GB
+
+# Batch workflow flags
+provisioning batch submit workflow.ncl --parallel 5 --timeout 3600
+
+
+
+The help system organizes commands by domain:
+provisioning help
+
+# Output shows categorized commands:
+Infrastructure Commands:
+ server Manage servers (shortcuts: s)
+ taskserv Manage task services (shortcuts: t, task)
+ cluster Manage clusters (shortcuts: cl)
+
+Orchestration Commands:
+ workflow Manage workflows (shortcuts: wf, flow)
+ batch Batch operations (shortcuts: bat)
+ orchestrator Orchestrator management (shortcuts: orch)
+
+Configuration Commands:
+ workspace Workspace management (shortcuts: ws)
+ config Configuration management (shortcuts: cfg)
+ validate Validation operations (shortcuts: val)
+ setup System setup (shortcuts: st)

+
+
+The CLI uses a sophisticated dispatcher for command routing:
+# provisioning/core/nulib/main_provisioning/dispatcher.nu
+
+# Route command to appropriate handler
+export def dispatch [
+ command: string
+ args: list<string>
+] {
+ match $command {
+ # Infrastructure domain
+ "server" | "s" => { route-to-handler "infrastructure" "server" $args }
+ "taskserv" | "t" | "task" => { route-to-handler "infrastructure" "taskserv" $args }
+ "cluster" | "cl" => { route-to-handler "infrastructure" "cluster" $args }
+
+ # Orchestration domain
+ "workflow" | "wf" | "flow" => { route-to-handler "orchestration" "workflow" $args }
+ "batch" | "bat" => { route-to-handler "orchestration" "batch" $args }
+
+ # Configuration domain
+ "workspace" | "ws" => { route-to-handler "configuration" "workspace" $args }
+ "config" | "cfg" => { route-to-handler "configuration" "config" $args }
+ }
+}
+
+This routing enables:
+
+- Consistent error handling
+- Centralized logging
+- Workspace enforcement
+- Permission checks
+- Audit trail
+
+
+All commands follow a consistent implementation pattern:
+# Example: provisioning/core/nulib/main_provisioning/commands/server.nu
+
+# Main command handler
+export def main [
+ operation: string # create, list, delete, etc.
+ --check # Dry-run mode
+ --yes # Auto-confirm
+] {
+ # 1. Validate workspace requirement
+ enforce-workspace-requirement "server" $operation
+
+ # 2. Load configuration
+ let config = load-config
+
+ # 3. Parse operation
+ match $operation {
+ "create" => { create-server $args $config --check=$check --yes=$yes }
+ "list" => { list-servers $config }
+ "delete" => { delete-server $args $config --yes=$yes }
+ "ssh" => { ssh-to-server $args $config }
+ _ => { error $"Unknown server operation: ($operation)" }
+ }
+
+ # 4. Log operation (audit trail)
+ log-operation "server" $operation $args
+}
+
+This pattern ensures:
+
+- Consistent behavior
+- Proper error handling
+- Configuration integration
+- Workspace enforcement
+- Audit logging
+
+
+The CLI codebase is organized for maintainability:

+
+This structure enables:
+
+- Clear separation of concerns
+- Easy addition of new commands
+- Testable command handlers
+- Reusable core libraries
+
+
+The CLI supports multiple languages via Fluent catalog:
+# Automatic locale detection
+export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
+provisioning help # Shows Spanish help if es-ES catalog exists
+
+# Supported locales
+en-US (default) # English
+es-ES # Spanish

+ └── help.ftl # German help strings
+
+
+The modular architecture provides clean extension points:
+
+# 1. Create command handler
+provisioning/core/nulib/main_provisioning/commands/my_new_command.nu
+
+# 2. Register in dispatcher
+# provisioning/core/nulib/main_provisioning/dispatcher.nu

+
+# 3. Add help entry

+my-command-help = Manage my new feature
+
+# 4. Command is now available
+provisioning my-command <operation>

+
+# 3. Register domain in dispatcher

+
+
+The CLI supports command aliases for common operations:
+# Defined in user configuration
+# ~/.config/provisioning/user_config.yaml
+aliases:
+ deploy: "cluster deploy"
+ list-all: "server list && taskserv list && cluster list"
+ quick-test: "test quick kubernetes"
+
+# Usage
+provisioning deploy my-cluster # Expands to: cluster deploy my-cluster
+provisioning list-all # Runs multiple commands
+provisioning quick-test # Runs test with preset
+
+
+
+# Development workflow (frequent commands)
+provisioning ws switch dev # Switch to dev workspace
+provisioning s list # Quick server list
+provisioning t install postgres # Install task service
+provisioning cl status my-cluster # Check cluster status
+
+# Production workflow (explicit commands for clarity)
+provisioning workspace switch production
+provisioning server create --plan large --check
+provisioning cluster deploy critical-cluster --yes
+
+
+# Always check before dangerous operations
+provisioning --check server delete old-servers
+provisioning --check cluster delete test-cluster
+
+# If output looks good, run for real
+provisioning --yes server delete old-servers
+
+
+# JSON output for scripting
+provisioning --format json server list | jq '.[] | select(.status == "running")'
+
+# YAML output for readability
+provisioning --format yaml cluster status my-cluster
+
+# Table output for humans (default)
+provisioning server list
+
+
+The modular architecture enables several performance optimizations:
+
+Commands are loaded on-demand, reducing startup time:
+# Only loads server command module when needed
+provisioning server list # Fast startup (loads server.nu only)
+
+
+Frequently-used commands benefit from caching:
+# First run: ~200ms (loads modules, config)
+provisioning server list
+
+# Subsequent runs: ~50ms (cached config, loaded modules)
+provisioning server list
+
+
+Batch operations execute in parallel:
+# Executes server creation in parallel (up to configured limit)
+provisioning batch submit multi-server-workflow.ncl --parallel 10
+
+
+
+Error: Unknown command 'servr'
+Did you mean: server (s)
+
+The CLI provides helpful suggestions for typos.
+
+Error: No active workspace
+Please activate or create a workspace:
+ provisioning workspace init <name>
+ provisioning workspace switch <name>
+
+Workspace enforcement prevents accidental operations.
+
+Error: Operation requires admin permissions
+Please run with elevated privileges or contact administrator
+
+Permission system prevents unauthorized operations.

+fallback chains.
+
+Currently supported with 100% translation coverage:
+| Language | Locale | Status | Strings |
+| English (US) | en-US | ✅ Complete | 245 |
+| Spanish (Spain) | es-ES | ✅ Complete | 245 |
+| Portuguese (Brazil) | pt-BR | 🔄 Planned | - |
+| French (France) | fr-FR | 🔄 Planned | - |
+| Japanese (Japan) | ja-JP | 🔄 Planned | - |
+
+
+Coverage Requirement: 95% of strings translated to critical locales (en-US, es-ES).
+
+
+Select language using the LANG environment variable:
+# English (default)
+provisioning help infrastructure
+
+# Spanish
+LANG=es_ES provisioning help infrastructure
+
+# Fallback to English if locale not available
+LANG=fr_FR provisioning help infrastructure
+# Output: English (en-US) [fallback chain]
+
+
+Language selection follows this order:
+
+- Check
LANG environment variable (e.g., es_ES)
+- Match to configured locale (es-ES)
+- If not found, follow fallback chain (es-ES → en-US)
+- Default to en-US if no match
+
+Format: LANG uses underscore (es_ES), locales use hyphen (es-ES). System handles conversion automatically.

+All translations use Mozilla Fluent (.ftl files), which provides:
+
+- Simple Syntax: Key-value pairs with rich formatting
+- Pluralization: Support for language-specific plural rules
+- Attributes: Multiple values per key for contextual translation
+- Automatic Fallback: Chain resolution when keys missing
+- Extensibility: Support for custom formatting functions
+
+Example Fluent syntax:
+help-infra-server-create = Create a new server
+form-database_type-option-postgres = PostgreSQL (Recommended)
+form-replicas-prompt = Number of replicas
+form-replicas-help = How many replicas to run

+SERVIDOR E INFRAESTRUCTURA
+Gestión de servidores, taskserv, clusters, VM e infraestructura.
+
+COMANDOS DE SERVIDOR
+ server create Crear un nuevo servidor
+ server delete Eliminar un servidor existente
+ server list Listar todos los servidores
+ server status Ver estado de un servidor
+
+COMANDOS DE TASKSERV
+ taskserv create Crear un nuevo servicio de tarea

+ taskserv status Ver estado del servicio de tarea
+
+
+Interactive forms automatically use the selected language:
+
+Project information, database configuration, API settings, deployment options, security, etc.
+# English form
+$ provisioning setup profile
+📦 Project name: [my-app]
+
+# Spanish form
+$ LANG=es_ES provisioning setup profile
+📦 Nombre del proyecto: [mi-app]
+
+
+Each form field has four translated strings:
+| Component | Purpose | Example en-US | Example es-ES |
+| prompt | Field label | “Project name” | “Nombre del proyecto” |
+| help | Helper text | “Project name (lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens)” | “Nombre del proyecto (minúsculas alfanuméricas con guiones)” |
+| placeholder | Example value | “my-app” | “mi-app” |
+| option | Dropdown choice | “PostgreSQL (Recommended)” | “PostgreSQL (Recomendado)” |
+
+
+
+
+- Unified Setup: Project info, database, API, deployment, security, terms
+- Authentication: Login form (username, password, remember me, forgot password)
+- Setup Wizard: Quick/standard/advanced modes
+- MFA Enrollment: TOTP, SMS, backup codes, device management
+- Infrastructure: Delete confirmations, resource prompts, data retention
+
+
+When a translation string is missing, the system automatically falls back to the parent locale:
+# From i18n-config.toml
+[fallback_chains]
+es-ES = ["en-US"]
+pt-BR = ["pt-PT", "es-ES", "en-US"]
+fr-FR = ["en-US"]
+ja-JP = ["en-US"]
+
+Resolution Example:
+
+- User requests Spanish (es-ES):
provisioning help
+- Look for string in
es-ES/help.ftl
+- If missing, fallback to en-US (
help-infra-server-create = "Create a new server")
+- If still missing, use literal key name as display text
+
+
+
+Edit provisioning/locales/i18n-config.toml:
+[locales.pt-BR]
+name = "Portuguese (Brazil)"
+direction = "ltr"
+plurals = 2
+decimal_separator = ","
+thousands_separator = "."
+date_format = "DD/MM/YYYY"
+
+[fallback_chains]
+pt-BR = ["pt-PT", "es-ES", "en-US"]
+
+Configuration Fields:
+
+- name: Display name of locale
+- direction: Text direction (ltr/rtl)
+- plurals: Number of plural forms (1-6 depending on language)
+- decimal_separator: Locale-specific decimal format
+- thousands_separator: Number formatting
+- date_format: Locale-specific date format
+- currency_symbol: Currency symbol (optional)
+- currency_position: “prefix” or “suffix” (optional)
+
+
+mkdir -p provisioning/locales/pt-BR
+
+
+Copy English files as base:
+cp provisioning/locales/en-US/help.ftl provisioning/locales/pt-BR/help.ftl
+cp provisioning/locales/en-US/forms.ftl provisioning/locales/pt-BR/forms.ftl
+
+
+Edit pt-BR/help.ftl and pt-BR/forms.ftl with translated content. Follow naming conventions:
+# Help strings: help-{category}-{element}
+help-infra-server-create = Criar um novo servidor
+
+# Form prompts: form-{element}-prompt
+form-project_name-prompt = Nome do projeto
+
+# Form help: form-{element}-help
+form-project_name-help = Nome do projeto (alfanumérico minúsculo com hífens)
+
+# Form options: form-{element}-option-{value}
+form-database_type-option-postgres = PostgreSQL (Recomendado)
+
+
+Check coverage and syntax:
+# Validate Fluent file syntax
+provisioning i18n validate --locale pt-BR
+
+# Check translation coverage
+provisioning i18n coverage --locale pt-BR
+
+# List missing translations
+provisioning i18n missing --locale pt-BR
+
+
+Document new language support in translations_status.md.
+
+
+Naming Conventions (REQUIRED):
+
+- Help strings:
help-{category}-{element} (e.g., help-infra-server-create)
+- Form prompts:
form-{element}-prompt (e.g., form-project_name-prompt)
+- Form help:
form-{element}-help (e.g., form-project_name-help)
+- Form placeholders:
form-{element}-placeholder
+- Form options:
form-{element}-option-{value} (e.g., form-database_type-option-postgres)
+- Section headers:
section-{name}-title
+
+Coverage Requirements:
+
+- Critical Locales: en-US, es-ES require 95% minimum coverage
+- Warning Threshold: 80% triggers warnings during build
+- Incomplete Locales: 0% coverage allowed (inherit via fallback chain)
+
+
+Test translations via different methods:
+# Test help system in Spanish
+LANG=es_ES provisioning help infrastructure
+
+# Test form display in Spanish
+LANG=es_ES provisioning setup profile
+
+# Validate all translation files
+provisioning i18n validate --all
+
+# Generate coverage report
+provisioning i18n coverage --format=json > coverage.json
+
+
+
+TypeDialog forms reference Fluent keys via locales_path configuration:
+# In form.toml
+locales_path = "../../../locales"
+
+[[elements]]
+name = "project_name"
+prompt = "form-project_name-prompt" # References: locales/*/forms.ftl
+help = "form-project_name-help"
+placeholder = "form-project_name-placeholder"
+
+Resolution Process:
+
+- Read
locales_path from form configuration
+- Check
LANG environment variable (converted to locale format: es_ES → es-ES)
+- Load Fluent file (e.g.,
locales/es-ES/forms.ftl)
+- Resolve string key → value
+- If key missing, follow fallback chain
+- If still missing, use literal key name
+
+
+Help system uses Fluent catalog loader in provisioning/core/nulib/main_provisioning/help_system.nu:
+# Load help strings for current locale
+let help_strings = (load_fluent_catalog $locale)
+
+# Display localized help text
+print ($help_strings | get help-infrastructure-title)
+
+
+
+When new help text or forms are added:
+
+- Add English strings to
en-US/help.ftl or en-US/forms.ftl
+- Add Spanish translations to
es-ES/help.ftl or es-ES/forms.ftl
+- Run validation:
provisioning i18n validate
+- Update
translations_status.md with new counts
+- If coverage drops below 95%, fix before release
+
+
+To modify existing translated string:
+
+- Edit key in
en-US/*.ftl and all locale-specific files
+- Run validation to ensure consistency
+- Test in both languages:
LANG=en_US provisioning help and LANG=es_ES provisioning help

+The Provisioning platform supports three deployment modes designed for different operational
+contexts: interactive TUI for guided setup, headless CLI for automation, and unattended mode
+for CI/CD pipelines.
+
+Deployment modes determine how the platform installer and orchestrator interact with the environment:
+| Mode | Use Case | User Interaction | Configuration | Rollback |
+| Interactive TUI | First-time setup, exploration | Full interactive terminal UI | Guided wizard | Manual intervention |
+| Headless CLI | Scripted automation | Command-line flags only | Pre-configured files | Automatic checkpoint |
+| Unattended | CI/CD pipelines | Zero interaction | Config file required | Automatic rollback |
+
+
+
+Beautiful terminal user interface for guided platform installation and configuration.
+

+Managing the nine core platform services that power the Provisioning infrastructure automation platform.
+
+The platform consists of nine microservices providing execution, management, and supporting infrastructure:
+| Service | Purpose | Port | Language | Status |
+| orchestrator | Workflow execution and task scheduling | 8080 | Rust + Nushell | Production |
+| control-center | Backend management API with RBAC | 8081 | Rust | Production |
+| control-center-ui | Web-based management interface | 8082 | Web | Production |
+| mcp-server | AI-powered configuration assistance | 8083 | Nushell | Active |
+| ai-service | Machine learning and anomaly detection | 8084 | Rust | Active |
+| vault-service | Secrets management and KMS | 8085 | Rust | Production |
+| extension-registry | OCI registry for extensions | 8086 | Rust | Planned |
+| api-gateway | Unified REST API routing | 8087 | Rust | Planned |
+| provisioning-daemon | Background service coordination | 8088 | Rust | Development |
-These guides are customized for your workspace’s:
+
+
+Systemd management (production):
+# Start individual service
+sudo systemctl start provisioning-orchestrator
+
+# Start all platform services
+sudo systemctl start provisioning-*
+
+# Enable automatic start on boot
+sudo systemctl enable provisioning-orchestrator
+sudo systemctl enable provisioning-control-center
+sudo systemctl enable provisioning-vault-service
+
+Manual start (development):
+# Orchestrator
+cd provisioning/platform/crates/orchestrator
+cargo run --release
+
+# Control Center
+cd provisioning/platform/crates/control-center
+cargo run --release
+
+# MCP Server
+cd provisioning/platform/crates/mcp-server
+nu run.nu
+
+
+# Stop individual service
+sudo systemctl stop provisioning-orchestrator
+
+# Stop all platform services
+sudo systemctl stop provisioning-*
+
+# Graceful shutdown with 30-second timeout
+sudo systemctl stop --timeout 30 provisioning-orchestrator
+
+
+# Restart after configuration changes
+sudo systemctl restart provisioning-orchestrator
+
+# Reload configuration without restart
+sudo systemctl reload provisioning-control-center
+
+
+# Status of all services
+systemctl status provisioning-*
+
+# Detailed status
+provisioning platform status
+
+# Health check endpoints
+curl [http://localhost:8080/health](http://localhost:8080/health) # Orchestrator

+curl [http://localhost:8085/health](http://localhost:8085/health) # Vault Service
+
+
+
+Each service reads configuration from hierarchical sources:

+
+Understanding service dependencies for proper startup order:
+Database (SurrealDB)
+ ↓
+orchestrator (requires database)
+ ↓
+vault-service (requires orchestrator)
+ ↓
+control-center (requires orchestrator + vault)
+ ↓
+control-center-ui (requires control-center)
+ ↓
+mcp-server (requires control-center)
+ ↓
+ai-service (requires mcp-server)
+
+Systemd handles dependencies automatically:
+# /etc/systemd/system/provisioning-control-center.service
+[Unit]
+Description=Provisioning Control Center
+After=provisioning-orchestrator.service
+Requires=provisioning-orchestrator.service
+
+
+
+All services expose /health endpoints:
+# Check orchestrator health
+curl [http://localhost:8080/health](http://localhost:8080/health)
+
+# Expected response
+{
+ "status": "healthy",
+ "version": "5.0.0",
+ "uptime_seconds": 3600,
+ "database": "connected",
+ "active_workflows": 5,
+ "queued_tasks": 12
+}
+
+
+Use systemd watchdog for automatic restart on failure:
+# /etc/systemd/system/provisioning-orchestrator.service
+[Service]
+WatchdogSec=30
+Restart=on-failure
+RestartSec=10
+
+Monitor with provisioning CLI:
+# Continuous health monitoring
+provisioning platform monitor --interval 5
+
+# Alert on unhealthy services
+provisioning platform monitor --alert-email [ops@example.com](mailto:ops@example.com)
+
+
+
+Systemd services log to journald:
+# View orchestrator logs
+sudo journalctl -u provisioning-orchestrator -f
+
+# View last hour of logs
+sudo journalctl -u provisioning-orchestrator --since "1 hour ago"
+
+# View errors only
+sudo journalctl -u provisioning-orchestrator -p err
+
+# Export logs to file
+sudo journalctl -u provisioning-* > platform-logs.txt
+
+File-based logs:
+/var/log/provisioning/orchestrator.log
+/var/log/provisioning/control-center.log
+/var/log/provisioning/vault-service.log
+
+
+Configure logrotate for file-based logs:
+# /etc/logrotate.d/provisioning
+/var/log/provisioning/*.log {
+ daily
+ rotate 30
+ compress
+ delaycompress
+ missingok
+ notifempty
+ create 0644 provisioning provisioning
+ sharedscripts
+ postrotate
+ systemctl reload provisioning-* | | true
+ endscript
+}
+
+
+Configure log verbosity:
+# Set log level via environment
+export PROVISIONING_LOG_LEVEL=debug
+sudo systemctl restart provisioning-orchestrator
+
+# Or in configuration
+provisioning config set logging.level debug
+
+Log levels: trace, debug, info, warn, error
+
+
+Adjust worker threads and task limits:
+[execution]
+max_parallel_tasks = 200 # Increase for high throughput
+worker_threads = 16 # Match CPU cores
+task_queue_size = 1000
+
+[performance]
+enable_metrics = true
+metrics_interval = 10
+
+
+[database]
+max_connections = 100
+min_connections = 10
+connection_timeout = 30
+idle_timeout = 600
+
+
+Set memory limits via systemd:
+[Service]
+MemoryMax=4G
+MemoryHigh=3G
+
+
+
+Rolling upgrade procedure:
+# 1. Deploy new version alongside old version
+sudo cp provisioning-orchestrator /usr/local/bin/provisioning-orchestrator-new
+
+# 2. Update systemd service to use new binary
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+
+# 3. Graceful restart
+sudo systemctl reload provisioning-orchestrator
+
+
+Check running versions:
+provisioning platform versions
+
+# Output:
+# orchestrator: 5.0.0
+# control-center: 5.0.0
+# vault-service: 4.0.0
+
+
+# 1. Stop new version
+sudo systemctl stop provisioning-orchestrator
+
+# 2. Restore previous binary
+sudo cp /usr/local/bin/provisioning-orchestrator.backup \
+ /usr/local/bin/provisioning-orchestrator
+
+# 3. Start service with previous version
+sudo systemctl start provisioning-orchestrator
+
+
+
+Run services with dedicated users:
+# Create service user
+sudo useradd -r -s /usr/sbin/nologin provisioning
+
+# Set ownership
+sudo chown -R provisioning:provisioning /var/lib/provisioning
+sudo chown -R provisioning:provisioning /etc/provisioning
+
+Systemd service configuration:
+[Service]
+User=provisioning
+Group=provisioning
+NoNewPrivileges=true
+PrivateTmp=true
+ProtectSystem=strict
+ProtectHome=true
+
+
+Restrict service access with firewall:
+# Allow only localhost access
+sudo ufw allow from 127.0.0.1 to any port 8080
+sudo ufw allow from 127.0.0.1 to any port 8081
+
+# Or use systemd socket activation
+
+
+
+Check service status and logs:
+systemctl status provisioning-orchestrator
+journalctl -u provisioning-orchestrator -n 100
+
+Common issues:
-- Configured providers
+- Port already in use: Check with
lsof -i :8080
+- Configuration error: Validate with
provisioning validate config
+- Missing dependencies: Check with
ldd /usr/local/bin/provisioning-orchestrator
+- Permission issues: Verify file ownership
+
+
+Monitor resource consumption:
+# CPU and memory usage
+systemctl status provisioning-orchestrator
+
+# Detailed metrics
+provisioning platform metrics --service orchestrator
+
+Adjust limits:
+# Increase memory limit
+sudo systemctl set-property provisioning-orchestrator MemoryMax=8G
+
+# Reduce parallel tasks
+provisioning config set execution.max_parallel_tasks 50
+sudo systemctl restart provisioning-orchestrator
+
+
+Enable core dumps for debugging:
+# Enable core dumps
+sudo sysctl -w kernel.core_pattern=/var/crash/core.%e.%p
+ulimit -c unlimited
+
+# Analyze crash
+sudo coredumpctl list
+sudo coredumpctl debug
+
+
+
+Services expose Prometheus metrics:
+# Orchestrator metrics
+curl [http://localhost:8080/metrics](http://localhost:8080/metrics)
+
+# Example metrics:
+# provisioning_workflows_total 1234
+# provisioning_workflows_active 5
+# provisioning_tasks_queued 12
+# provisioning_tasks_completed 9876
+

+Upgrade Provisioning to a new version with minimal downtime and automatic rollback support.
+
+Provisioning supports two upgrade strategies:
+
+- In-Place Upgrade - Update existing installation
+- Side-by-Side Upgrade - Run new version alongside old, switch when ready
+
+Both strategies support automatic rollback on failure.

-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.
-
-
-
-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.
-
-| 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 |
-
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-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).
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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.
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-
-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
-
-
-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).
-
-
-| 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) |
-
-
-
-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)

-| 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

-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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
-
-
-
-- 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

-Symptoms: Droplets can’t reach AWS database, high latency between regions
+
+
+Symptom: Service fails to start or crashes immediately
Diagnosis:
-# Check network connectivity
-def diagnose_network_issue [source_ip, dest_ip] {
- print "Diagnosing network connectivity..."
+# Check service status
+systemctl status provisioning-orchestrator
- # 1. Check routing
- ssh $source_ip "ip route show"
+# View recent logs
+journalctl -u provisioning-orchestrator -n 100 --no-pager
- # 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"
-}
+# Check configuration
+provisioning validate config
-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
-
-
-Symptoms: Secondary database lagging behind primary
+Common Causes:
+
+- Port already in use
+
+# Find process using port
+lsof -i :8080
+
+# Kill conflicting process or change port in config
+
+
+- Configuration error
+
+# Validate configuration
+provisioning validate config --strict
+
+# Check for syntax errors
+nickel typecheck /etc/provisioning/config.ncl
+
+
+- Missing dependencies
+
+# Check binary dependencies
+ldd /usr/local/bin/provisioning-orchestrator
+
+# Install missing libraries
+sudo apt install <missing-library>
+
+
+- Permission issues
+
+# Fix ownership
+sudo chown -R provisioning:provisioning /var/lib/provisioning
+sudo chown -R provisioning:provisioning /etc/provisioning
+
+# Fix permissions
+sudo chmod 750 /var/lib/provisioning
+sudo chmod 640 /etc/provisioning/*.toml
+
+
+Symptom: Services can’t connect to SurrealDB
Diagnosis:
-def check_replication_lag [] {
- # AWS RDS
- aws rds describe-db-instances --query 'DBInstances[].{ID:DBInstanceIdentifier,Lag:ReplicationLag}'
+# Check database status
+systemctl status surrealdb
- # DigitalOcean
- doctl databases backups list --format Name,Created
-}
+# Test database connectivity
+curl [http://localhost:8000/health](http://localhost:8000/health)
+
+# Check database logs
+journalctl -u surrealdb -n 50
-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
-
-
-Symptoms: Failover script fails, DNS not updating
+Resolution:
+# Restart database
+sudo systemctl restart surrealdb
+
+# Verify connection string in config
+provisioning config get database.url
+
+# Test manual connection
+surreal sql --conn [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) --user root --pass root
+
+
+Symptom: Service consuming excessive CPU or memory
Diagnosis:
-def test_failover_chain [] {
- # 1. Verify backup infrastructure is ready
- verify_backup_infrastructure
+# Monitor resource usage
+top -p $(pgrep provisioning-orchestrator)
- # 2. Test DNS failover
- test_dns_failover
+# Detailed metrics
+provisioning platform metrics --service orchestrator
- # 3. Verify database promotion
- test_db_promotion
-
- # 4. Check application configuration
- verify_app_failover_config
-}
+# Check for resource leaks
-Solutions:
-
-- Ensure backup infrastructure is powered on and running
-- Verify DNS TTL is appropriate (typically 60 seconds)
-- Test failover in staging environment first
-- Check VPN connectivity to backup provider
-- Verify database promotion scripts
-- Ensure application connection strings support both endpoints
-
-
-Symptoms: Monthly bill unexpectedly high
+Resolution:
+# Adjust worker threads
+provisioning config set execution.worker_threads 4
+
+# Reduce parallel tasks
+provisioning config set execution.max_parallel_tasks 50
+
+# Increase memory limit
+sudo systemctl set-property provisioning-orchestrator MemoryMax=8G
+
+# Restart service
+sudo systemctl restart provisioning-orchestrator
+
+
+Symptom: Workflows fail or hang
Diagnosis:
-def analyze_cost_spike [] {
- print "Analyzing cost spike..."
+# List failed workflows
+provisioning workflow list --status failed
- # Compare current vs previous month
- let current = (get_current_month_costs)
- let previous = (get_previous_month_costs)
- let delta = ($current - $previous)
+# View workflow details
+provisioning workflow show <workflow-id>
- # 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)"
- }
+# Check workflow logs
+provisioning workflow logs <workflow-id>
- # Identify largest increases
- ($delta | sort-by cost_change | reverse | first 5)
-}
+# Inspect checkpoint state
+provisioning workflow checkpoints <workflow-id>
-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
-
-
-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.

-- Provider-agnostic architecture guide
-- Batch workflow orchestration guide
-- Individual provider implementation guides
-
-
-This comprehensive guide covers private networking, VPN tunnels, and secure communication across multiple cloud providers using Hetzner, UpCloud, AWS,
-and DigitalOcean.
-
-
-
-Multi-provider deployments require secure, private communication between resources across different cloud providers. This involves:
-
-- Private Networks: Isolated virtual networks within each provider (SDN)
-- VPN Tunnels: Encrypted connections between provider networks
-- Routing: Proper IP routing between provider networks
-- Security: Firewall rules and access control across providers
-- DNS: Private DNS for cross-provider resource discovery

-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.
-For more information:
-
-
-This guide covers using DigitalOcean as a cloud provider in the provisioning system. DigitalOcean is known for simplicity, straightforward pricing,
-and outstanding documentation, making it ideal for startups, small teams, and developers.
-

+Health monitoring, status checks, and system integrity validation for the Provisioning platform.
+
+The platform provides multiple levels of health monitoring:
+| Level | Scope | Frequency | Response Time |
+| Service Health | Individual service status | Every 10s | < 100ms |
+| System Health | Overall platform status | Every 30s | < 500ms |
+| Infrastructure Health | Managed resources | Every 60s | < 2s |
+| Dependency Health | External services | Every 60s | < 1s |
-
-
-DigitalOcean is ideal for:
+
+# Check overall platform health
+provisioning health
+
+# Output:
+# ✓ Orchestrator: healthy (uptime: 5d 3h)
+# ✓ Control Center: healthy
+# ✓ Vault Service: healthy
+# ✓ Database: healthy (connections: 45/100)
+# ✓ Network: healthy
+# ✗ MCP Server: degraded (high latency)
+
+# Exit code: 0 = healthy, 1 = degraded, 2 = unhealthy
+
+
+All services expose /health endpoints returning standardized responses.
+
+curl [http://localhost:8080/health](http://localhost:8080/health)
+
+{
+ "status": "healthy",
+ "version": "5.0.0",

+ "worker_threads": 8
+ },
+ "timestamp": "2026-01-16T10:30:00Z"
+}
+
+Health status values:
-- Startups: Clear pricing, low minimum commitment
-- Small Teams: Simple management interface
-- Developers: Great documentation, API-driven
-- Regional Deployment: Global presence, predictable costs
-- Managed Services: Simple database and Kubernetes offerings
-- Web Applications: Outstanding fit for typical web workloads
+healthy - Service operating normally
+degraded - Service functional with reduced capacity
+unhealthy - Service not functioning
-DigitalOcean is NOT ideal for:
-
-- Highly Specialized Workloads: Limited service portfolio vs AWS
-- HIPAA/FedRAMP: Limited compliance options
-- Extreme Performance: Not focused on HPC
-- Enterprise with Complex Requirements: Better served by AWS
-
-
-Monthly Comparison: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM
-
-- DigitalOcean: $24/month (constant pricing)
-- Hetzner: €6.90/month (~$7.50) - cheaper but harder to scale
-- AWS: $60/month on-demand (but $18 with spot)
-- UpCloud: $30/month
-
-When DigitalOcean Wins:
-
-- Simplicity and transparency (no reserved instances needed)
-- Managed database costs
-- Small deployments (1-5 servers)
-- Applications using DigitalOcean-specific services
-
-
-
-
-- DigitalOcean account with billing enabled
-- API token from DigitalOcean Control Panel
-- doctl CLI installed (optional but recommended)
-- Provisioning system with DigitalOcean provider plugin

-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
-
-
-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 = [

-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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)
-
-
-
-Symptoms: Cannot SSH to Droplet, connection timeout
-Diagnosis:
-
-- Verify Droplet status in DigitalOcean Control Panel
-- Check firewall rules allow port 22 from your IP
-- Verify SSH key is loaded in SSH agent:
ssh-add -l
-- 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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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

-hcloud server request-console server-id
-
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-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

+
+This security documentation is organized into 12 detailed guides:
+
+- Authentication - JWT token-based authentication and session management
+- Authorization - Cedar policy engine and RBAC access control
+- Multi-Factor Authentication - TOTP and WebAuthn/FIDO2 implementation
+- Audit Logging - Comprehensive audit trails and compliance reporting
+- Key Management Service - Encryption key management and rotation
+- Secrets Management - SecretumVault and SOPS/Age integration
+- Encryption - At-rest and in-transit data protection
+- Secure Communication - TLS/mTLS and network security
+- Certificate Management - PKI and certificate lifecycle
+- Compliance - SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA frameworks
+- Security Testing - Test suite and vulnerability scanning
+- Break-Glass Procedures - Emergency access and recovery
+
+
+The security system tracks key metrics for monitoring and reporting:
+
+- Authentication Success Rate: Percentage of successful login attempts
+- MFA Adoption Rate: Percentage of users with MFA enabled
+- Policy Violations: Count of authorization denials
+- Audit Event Rate: Events logged per second
+- Secret Rotation Compliance: Percentage of secrets rotated within policy
+- Certificate Expiration: Days until certificate expiration
+- Compliance Score: Overall compliance posture percentage
+- Security Test Pass Rate: Percentage of security tests passing
+
+
+Follow these security best practices:
+
+- Enable MFA for all users: Require second factor for all accounts
+- Rotate secrets regularly: Automate secret rotation every 90 days
+- Monitor audit logs: Review security events daily
+- Test security controls: Run security test suite before deployments
+- Keep certificates current: Automate certificate renewal 30 days before expiration
+- Review policies regularly: Audit Cedar policies quarterly
+- Limit break-glass access: Require multi-party approval for emergency access
+- Encrypt all data: Enable encryption at rest and in transit
+- Follow least privilege: Grant minimal required permissions
+- Validate compliance: Run compliance checks before production deployments

+Next Steps:
+
+
+JWT token-based authentication with session management, login flows, and multi-provider support.
+
+The authentication system verifies user identity through JWT (JSON Web Token) tokens with RS256
+signatures and Argon2id password hashing. It provides secure session management, token refresh
+capabilities, and support for multiple authentication providers.

-- Monitor via metrics
-- Setup log aggregation
+- Use strong passwords: Enforce password policy with minimum 12 characters
+- Enable MFA: Require second factor for all users
+- Rotate keys regularly: Update JWT signing keys every 90 days
+- Monitor failed attempts: Alert on suspicious login patterns
+- Limit session duration: Use short access token TTL with refresh tokens
+- Secure token storage: Store tokens securely, never in local storage
+- Validate on every request: Always verify JWT signature and expiration
+- Use HTTPS only: Never transmit tokens over unencrypted connections

+| Algorithm | Type | NIST Status | Performance |
+| CRYSTALS-Kyber | KEM | Finalist | Fast |
+| Falcon | Signature | Finalist | Medium |
+| SPHINCS+ | Hash-based Signature | Finalist | Slower |
+| AES-256 | Hybrid (Classical) | Standard | Very fast |
+| ChaCha20 | Stream Cipher | Alternative | Fast |
+
+
+
+SecretumVault uses hybrid encryption by default:
+Secret Input
+ ↓
+Key Material: Classical (AES-256) + PQC (Kyber)
+ ├─ Generate AES key
+ ├─ Generate Kyber keypair
+ └─ Encapsulate using Kyber
+ ↓
+Encrypt with both algorithms
+ ├─ AES-256-GCM encryption
+ └─ Kyber encapsulation (public key cryptography)
+ ↓
+Both keys required to decrypt
+ ├─ If quantum computer breaks Kyber → AES still secure
+ └─ If breakthrough in AES → Kyber still secure
+ ↓
+Encrypted Secret Stored
+
+Advantages:
-just whoami = just auth-status
+- Protection against quantum computers (PQC)
+- Protection against classical attacks (AES-256)
+- Compatible with both current and future threats
+- No single point of failure

+Comprehensive guides for developers building extensions, custom providers, plugins, and
+integrations on the Provisioning platform.
+
+Provisioning is designed to be extended and customized for specific infrastructure needs. This section provides everything needed to:
+
+- Build custom cloud providers interfacing with any infrastructure platform via the Provider SDK
+- Create custom detectors for domain-specific infrastructure analysis and anomaly detection
+- Develop task services for specialized infrastructure operations beyond built-in services
+- Write Nushell plugins for high-performance scripting extensions
+- Integrate external systems via REST APIs and the MCP (Model Context Protocol)
+- Understand platform internals for daemon architecture, caching, and performance optimization
+
+The platform uses modern Rust with async/await, Nushell for scripting, and
+Nickel for configuration - all with production-ready code examples.
+
+

+Creating custom extensions to add providers, task services, and clusters to the Provisioning platform.
+
+Extensions are modular components that extend platform capabilities:
+| Extension Type | Purpose | Implementation | Complexity |
+| Providers | Cloud infrastructure backends | Nushell scripts + Nickel schemas | Moderate |
+| Task Services | Infrastructure components | Nushell installation scripts | Simple |
+| Clusters | Complete deployments | Nickel schemas + orchestration | Moderate |
+| Workflows | Automation templates | Nickel workflow definitions | Simple |

+Implementing custom cloud provider integrations for the Provisioning platform.
+
+Providers abstract cloud infrastructure APIs through a unified interface, allowing infrastructure definitions to be portable across clouds.
+
+All providers must implement these core operations:
+# Server lifecycle
+create_server # Provision new server
+delete_server # Remove server
+get_server # Fetch server details
+list_servers # List all servers
+update_server # Modify server configuration
+server_status # Get current state
-# Resolve dependencies (auto-installs)
-provisioning dep resolve
+# Network operations (optional)
+create_network # Create private network
+delete_network # Remove network
+attach_network # Attach server to network
-# Use extension
-provisioning taskserv create kubernetes
+# Storage operations (optional)
+attach_volume # Attach storage volume
+detach_volume # Detach storage volume
+create_snapshot # Snapshot server disk
-
-# Check for updates
-provisioning dep check-updates
+
+Use the official provider template:
+# Generate provider scaffolding
+provisioning generate provider --name my-cloud --template standard
-# Update specific extension

-
-sudo -v && provisioning -c server create
-
-Credentials cached for 5 minutes, no prompts during operation.
-
-# In your settings.ncl or server config
-fix_local_hosts = false
-
-No sudo required, manual /etc/hosts management.
-
-provisioning -c server create
-# Enter password when prompted
-# Or press CTRL-C to cancel
-
-
-
-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.
-
-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
-
-
-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
-
-
-# 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
-
-
-| 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 |
