Jon Chery 85963dc320 feat(P02): install.sh 1-liner + in-place update + README quickstart
REQ-043: install.sh pulls release binary from public Gitea URL.
  User-level default (~/.local/bin/orca), --system for system-level
  (/usr/local/bin/orca). Defaults to latest release; --version pins.
  Env-overridable GITEA_URL/OWNER/REPO for testability.

REQ-044: in-place update detects existing binary, reads version via
  'orca version --json', prints update message, overwrites binary,
  preserves namespace dir (config/db/certs). Idempotent re-install.

REQ-016 (completion): README quickstart now documents the 1-liner
  install + --system variant + update-in-place pattern.

Tests: 8/8 pass in scripts/install_test.sh (real public Gitea releases,
  no mock server; timeout-guarded to prevent hangs).

Docs: docs/install.md covers user/system install, version pinning,
  in-place update, uninstall, troubleshooting.

# Orca
Offline/CLI-first orchestration engine inspired by HashiCorp Nomad, far simpler than Kubernetes.
## Status
**v0.1: Foundation** — see [.ciagent/ROADMAP.md](.ciagent/ROADMAP.md) for the 6-phase plan.
## Pillars
- **Simplicity** — single binary, minimal dependencies
- **AI-first** — CLI designed for both humans and AI agents
- **Offline-first** — no cloud dependencies
- **CLI-first** — primary interface is the command line
- **Security before features** — NFRs ship before new functionality
- **Bug fixes before features** — stability is paramount
- **NFRs before features** — observability and auditability first
## Quickstart
### Install (1-liner)
```bash
# User-level install (binary at ~/.local/bin/orca, state at ~/.orca)
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
# System-level install (binary at /usr/local/bin/orca, state at /root/.orca)
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --system
# Pin a specific version
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --version v0.4.2
```
Then initialize local state and verify:
```bash
orca init # creates ~/.orca/ (or /root/.orca with --system)
orca version # prints version info
orca --help # show all subcommands
```
### Build from source
```bash
make build # Build binary to ./bin/orca
./bin/orca init # Initialize local state
./bin/orca version # Verify
```
### Update in place
Re-running the installer updates the binary while preserving your
config, database, and certificates in the namespace dir:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
# → "updated orca from v0.4.1 to v0.4.2"
```
## Subcommands
| Command | Description | Status |
|---------|-------------|--------|
| `orca version` | Print version info | ✅ Phase 1 |
| `orca init` | Initialize local orca state | ✅ Phase 1 (stub) |
| `orca status` | Show orca daemon status | ✅ Phase 1 (stub) |
| `orca node` | Node management (`join`, `leave`, `list`) | Phase 2 |
| `orca job` | Job management (`run`, `list`, `stop`, `logs`) | Phase 3 |
## Development
```bash
make build # Build binary to ./bin/orca
make test # Run tests with race detection
make lint # Run golangci-lint
make fmt # Format code
make release # Build + create Gitea release (Phase 6)
```
