P0b — Canonical Markdown+frontmatter jobspec parser (R-013/R-014).
Parser (internal/jobspec/markdown.go, REQ-064):
- WorkloadSpec/RuntimeBlock/PortSpec/VolumeSpec types. ParseMarkdown
hand-rolled YAML frontmatter (no yaml.v3 dep). Kind validation (Job/
Service/DaemonSet per R-012). BOM-stripped frontmatter, byte-exact body
preservation (R-015) via the fuzz harness.
Dispatcher (internal/jobspec/dispatch.go, REQ-064):
- ParseFile/Dispatch routes on extension: .md->Markdown, .yaml/.yml->
Markdown-with-empty-body, .hcl->ParseHCL adapter. HCL adapter converts
Spec{Job,Tasks} to *WorkloadSpec (Kind=Job, Runtime.one_of=process).
Backward compat preserved (REQ-090) — orca job run old-spec.hcl works.
- Legacy Parse renamed ParseHCLLegacy, marked // Deprecated per R-013.
Fuzz harness (internal/jobspec/markdown_fuzz_test.go, REQ-067, R-015):
- FuzzParseMarkdownRoundTrip with 10 seed corpus entries (CRLF, BOM,
no-frontmatter, only-closing-separator, code-fence ---, trailing
whitespace, empty body, etc). Asserts byte-exact body round-trip.
Tests: markdown_test.go (19 tests), dispatch_test.go (17 tests), fuzz
(10 seeds). jobspec package 89.2% coverage. cli 81.8% (no regression).
18 packages pass, 20 bats pass, gofmt clean, verify-reqs 90 consistent.

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"
