Moving the issuer's state into Postgres removed the last thing that tied
either app to one hosting provider. What was left was a deployment tool
describing resources that no longer existed — so this replaces it with
`wrangler`, which is what actually deploys a Worker, and adds a second way
to run each app that involves no provider at all.
Each app now has a `wrangler.jsonc` with an environment per stage, and a
`Dockerfile` beside it. The handler is the same one in both cases; what
differs is only where its settings come from. Two of them gained a second
spelling so that nothing has to branch on the runtime: Postgres arrives as
a pooled binding or as `DATABASE_URL`, and the route to the issuer is a
service binding or `AUTH_INTERNAL_URL`.
That last one is new, and it is a split the binding was already making
without saying so. `AUTH_ISSUER_URL` has to be the issuer's public name,
because it is compared literally against every token's `iss` claim — but
the public name is often not routable from inside a deployment. So the
name and the route are two settings now rather than one that cannot be
both.
DNS moves out of code and into `docs/dns.md`, which lists every hostname
and what it is for. Six records that change roughly never did not need a
tool, and the table outlives whatever is answering the names — which is
the point, since some of them will stop being Workers. The sandbox
hostnames are hyphenated rather than nested for the same reason: a
certificate covering `*.nestri.io` covers one label and not two, so
`api-sandbox.nestri.io` can become an ordinary origin later without a
certificate having to be ordered for it first.
Also drops `EMAIL_DEV_LOG` from committed configuration into `.dev.vars`,
which `wrangler deploy` cannot upload. Printing a live sign-in code to a
log should not be one forgotten override away from production.
## What
Adds `build/` — a Dockerfile with `mesa-build`, `nestri-build`,
`os-base`, `runtime`, `runtime_prod` and `runtime_debug` stages, plus
the `etc/` overlay, `mkimage.sh` and a `Makefile` — laid out the way
[borealis](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/board-overlays/+/main/project-borealis)
lays out its own `build/`. This moves the guest rootfs formula into this
repo, targeting the four open guest components already here: `nescope`,
`neshub`, `neswire`, `nescapture`.
## Two structural properties worth calling out
- **No privileged host chroot.** A bare `chroot` into a hand-extracted
rootfs needs `/proc`, `/sys`, `/dev` bind-mounted in first. `os-base`
here is `FROM artixlinux/artixlinux:base-openrc` directly with `pacman
-S` as plain `RUN` steps — a Docker build step already has its own
`/proc`/`/sys`/`/dev`.
- **No host-side ownership bug to guard against.** `COPY --from=` runs
as root inside the build with no invoking-user uid in the loop.
## Scope boundary
**Deliberately excludes Proton and Valve's `steamclient.so`** — both
closed, and `CLAUDE.md` forbids closed content in this repo.
`runtime_prod`, tagged `nestrilabs/nestri:base`, is a complete,
bootable, Steam-less image — and also the shared foundation other builds
start from. Whatever layers Proton/Steam on top of it is a closed build
outside this repo, by design.
## Known gap
Nothing starts a payload yet — `nesinit` isn't open code — so
`/etc/init.d/nescope` boots it in plain-compositor mode (no command
after `--`) rather than running a game. Real and testable, just not a
full session yet. Details in `build/README.md`.
## Status
Built and tagged locally as `nestrilabs/nestri:base` (podman, no
`--no-cache` issues, greptile's three findings all fixed and verified
against a real build). Not yet packed into a disk image or run inside
nesbox.

<h3>Greptile Summary</h3>
The PR adds a multi-stage Artix/OpenRC guest-rootfs build for the open
Nestri components, with production and debug image flavors.
- Builds patched Mesa and the Rust workspace in dedicated builder
stages.
- Assembles and configures the bootable guest environment and OpenRC
services.
- Packs a selected container image into an ext4 root filesystem while
retaining rootless container storage access.
<h3>Confidence Score: 5/5</h3>
The PR appears safe to merge.
No blocking failure remains.
<h3>Important Files Changed</h3>
| Filename | Overview |
|----------|----------|
| build/Dockerfile | Defines the complete multi-stage build, overlays
repository-root-relative configuration paths, and creates production and
debug runtime targets. |
| build/Makefile | Provides consistent image build and packing targets
using a repository-root context and matching image tags. |
| build/scripts/mkimage.sh | Keeps container-runtime operations in the
invoking user's storage while escalating only filesystem creation and
mounting operations. |
| build/etc/conf.d/nestri-user-env | Supplies the shared service
environment and export function required by the OpenRC service scripts.
|
| build/etc/init.d/guest-net | Configures optional guest networking from
kernel parameters or stable defaults. |
| build/etc/init.d/neswire | Starts the audio sink after its
dependencies and pins it as the PipeWire default once the graph is
ready. |

## Description
Whew..
- Steam can now run without namespaces using live-patcher (because
Docker..)
- Improved NVIDIA GPU selection and handling
- Pipeline tests for GPU picking logic
- Optimizations and cleanup all around
- SSH (by default disabled) for easier instance debugging.
- CachyOS' Proton because that works without namespaces (couldn't figure
out how to enable automatically in Steam yet..)
- Package updates and partial removal of futures (libp2p is going to
switch to Tokio in next release hopefully)
