`lastSeen` and `intervalSeconds` are the two field names neslet's plane.rs
reads out of the reply, and a rename on either side yields a host that beats,
parses nothing and reports success. These tests are what make that a contract
rather than a coincidence.
Also asserts the property the middleware comment claims and nothing checked:
wrong machine credentials and no credentials produce *identical* responses,
because bad credentials fall through to `public` rather than erroring so that
probing cannot reveal which machine ids exist. Comparing the two bodies is the
only way that stays true.
Two of these tests started out asserting 401 and were wrong, not the code —
`machineOnly` sees a public actor either way and forbids.
138 tests, 0 fail.
Second half of G1's "neslet registers against api.nestri.io and heartbeats".
Registration already worked; there was no heartbeat endpoint at all — grep for
it across apps/api and packages/core returned nothing, and neslet's own
main.rs says the same from its side.
POST /machine/heartbeat, machine credentials only. Two decisions worth stating
because neither is obvious from the diff:
**It returns the interval.** The auth middleware already touches lastSeen on
every authenticated machine request, so an endpoint that only did that would
add an endpoint and no capability. What a host cannot know on its own is how
often the control plane wants to hear from it, so the response carries the
cadence. A fleet whose interval can only change by shipping a new agent is a
fleet whose interval never changes.
**It takes no body.** neslet has a HostSummary ready to send, and week 2 owns
box state reporting. Accepting fields nothing acts on yet would mean a wire
shape we would have to keep, chosen before the thing that consumes it exists.
Online-ness is derived from lastSeen rather than stored: a host that stops
beating goes offline through the passage of time, which is the one mechanism
that cannot itself fail. Three missed beats, not one — a single missed beat is
a lost packet, and treating that as offline would make placement flap.
Also: the machine actor's teamID stops being optional. It was `...(teamId ? {}
: {})` in the middleware, a branch for a state that cannot exist now that
machine.team_id is notNull.
134 tests, 0 fail.
Migration 1 of 0048, and the first of the seven weeks — nothing about a live
feed works without these two tables, so it is not a cleanup during them.
box a VM someone owns: an id that is also its DNS label, an editable
label, an owning user, the machine it sits on, a tier and a state.
Owned by a person and placed on a team's hardware, which are two
different relationships, hence both userId and machineId.
session one run of one box by one linked Steam account, and what costs
money. Separate from box because the ticket changes after bind as
addresses are discovered — the vsock contract calls it "a stream,
not one value" — so it is a column a client polls, not a value it
is handed once.
Box states are neslet's own three and no more. `starting` and `stopping` are
the obvious additions and both are omitted because nothing would ever write
them; a failed box is `stopped` with stopClean false, which is how neslet
models it too.
The generated migration would have failed on live rows in three ways, so it
is hand-written and tested against a database seeded at the old schema:
- machine.team_id becomes notNull, and *every existing row is null* because
the old registration path passed null. Personal teams are backfilled for
machine owners first, reusing a team they already own rather than minting
a second, with the owner membership row repaired where missing.
- game_download.host_id becomes a foreign key. It held free-form strings,
so unattributable rows are deleted before the cast — the only destructive
statement here, and a considered loss: it is a progress report neslet
re-derives from disk.
- Team.createPersonal was written and documented in packages/core/CLAUDE.md
as part of the login flow and never actually called, so no user has a
team. ensurePersonal is idempotent and now runs on every login, which is
what backfills accounts the migration does not reach.
Verified on a seeded legacy database: three null-team machines backfilled, an
existing team reused rather than duplicated, a blank display name handled, and
both unattributable download rows dropped while the attributable one survived.
Also fixes two things this work ran into rather than caused:
- Database.client() built a new postgres pool on every call, and use()
called it twice per invocation — pools of ten connections held for a 30s
idle timeout. Invisible in a Worker where requests are short; the suite
crossed 100 connections and Postgres said "sorry, too many clients
already" in whichever file ran last, which reads as a flaky test rather
than a leak. Now one pool per connection string.
- download.test.ts asserted against `hst_…` host ids, which is exactly the
unattributable row the new foreign key exists to refuse.
There is no "no team" any more: PATCH /machine/:id took teamId null to mean
"mine alone" and now requires a team, because the personal team is the one to
name. Its test is updated to the new contract rather than deleted.
113 → 128 tests, 0 fail.
CLAUDE.md was 1,324 lines and all of it was about the TypeScript half, written
before there was another half. Every line of it loaded on every turn regardless
of what was being worked on, which is a real cost paid constantly for context
that is usually irrelevant.
Split by where it applies, so each guide loads when you are in the directory it
describes:
packages/core/CLAUDE.md 694 domain modules, fn(), actor, errors, auth
apps/api/CLAUDE.md 284 routes, registration, error flow
docs/alchemy.md 345 stages, bindings, secrets, the CLI
CLAUDE.md 72 the repo, both toolchains, two hard rules
Nothing was rewritten or dropped — the three files are the original text,
verified identical after the split. What the root file now carries is only what
is true repo-wide: the layout, the commands, where the detail lives, and the two
rules that are not style preferences. One of those is that nothing closed may
enter this repo, which is here because it has already been caught once.
The README described a streaming platform in four bullets and did not mention
that half the repository is Rust that runs inside a virtual machine. It now says
what each component does, why a micro-VM rather than a container, what is
deliberately absent, and what decides whether a thing is open — data is, capacity
is not.
It also says plainly that this is mid-rewrite and the docs are behind. Someone
arriving at a repo whose documentation does not match its tree should be told
that by the README rather than discover it.

Squashes the current state of the internal working tree onto this history.
The two trees had grown apart with no common ancestor, so this is a content
sync rather than a merge, and the published history is preserved rather than
rewritten — a force-push here would break every existing fork and clone to no
benefit.
What lands:
- Waitlist: API route, core module, and migration 0006 alongside game aliases.
- User verification.
- CI, oxfmt config, editor settings.
- Assorted fixes across the API routes and core modules.
The repository's own README, the wordmark and the per-package READMEs are kept
from this side; the internal tree had dropped them and they are what a stranger
arriving here reads first.
The marketing site in the internal tree is deliberately not here. It is a
separate product with its own repo and its own licence, and this repo is the
open one — a closed component does not belong in it regardless of how convenient
the directory looked.
