Jon Chery 437aab39b4 feat(P0a1): multi-namespace path resolver + config demotion + known_hosts flock + CA migration spec (v0.9 P0a1)
P0a1 — Re-architecture Foundation (path resolver + config demotion).

Path resolver (REQ-070, R-002):
- internal/paths/paths.go: 23 functions for the multi-namespace layout
  (Root/ClusterDir/NamespaceDir/NS*/DefaultNamespace/CA/MasterKey/CacheDB/
  Txn/Peers/KnownHosts/SSH/Server/Config). Honors $ORCA_HOME. 100% coverage.
- internal/certpaths/certpaths.go: refactored as thin shim delegating to
  paths, preserving the v0.8 flat-layout API for backward compat during
  the dual-write window (REQ-090). Package doc explains the v0.10-P14
  migration plan. certpaths deleted after v0.10-P14. 100% coverage.

Config demotion (REQ-069, R-014):
- internal/config/markdown.go: minimal hand-rolled YAML frontmatter parser
  (no new dep — yaml.v3 not in go.mod). Returns same *Config struct as HCL.
- internal/config/config.go: renamed Load body to LoadHCL (// Deprecated
  per R-013), added dispatcher Load() routing on extension (.hcl->HCL,
  .md->Markdown, .yaml->Markdown). Signature preserved so root.go unchanged.
- dispatch_test.go + markdown_test.go: 89.8% coverage on config package.

Known_hosts flock (REQ-063, deferred P1 from REVIEW_v0.8 A2):
- internal/security/flock.go: stdlib syscall.Flock advisory lock helper.
- internal/proxmox/bootstrap.go: TOFUHostKeyCallback capture + ResetHostKey
  both acquire the flock before read-modify-write on known_hosts. Prevents
  concurrent writers under v0.9 parallel SSH fan-out. 3 flock tests.

CA migration spec (grill C-07):
- .ciagent/CA_MIGRATION_SPEC_v0.9.md: Option A (preserve trust root,
  RECOMMENDED) vs Option B (forced re-bootstrap). Pre-flight checks,
  migration steps, rollback, post-migration invariants, spike plan.

Verification: build pass, 17/17 Go packages pass, 20/20 bats pass, gofmt
clean, go vet clean, verify-reqs 90 consistent. Coverage: paths 100%,
certpaths 100%, config 89.8%, emit covered.

Orca

Offline/CLI-first orchestration engine inspired by HashiCorp Nomad, far simpler than Kubernetes.

Status

v0.1: Foundation — see .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)

# 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:

orca init          # creates ~/.orca/ (or /root/.orca with --system)
orca version       # prints version info
orca --help        # show all subcommands

Build from source

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:

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

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)
