ciagent d10f89d55e chore(config): add workflow block — 4 standing rules
Adds a top-level workflow block to .ciagent/config.json with the four
standing rules for v0.2+ and all future milestones:

1. no_hitl: true              — full automation, no human-in-the-loop
2. merge_strategy             — fast-forward or rebase-then-fast-forward only;
                                  no merge-commit-no-ff, no squash
3. release_flow_per_phase: true — every phase tag produces a Gitea release
                                  (already in .ciagent/RELEASE_POLICY.md, now
                                  also enforced in config.json)
4. branching                  — main < milestone/<slug> < phase/<NN>-<slug>
                                  phase branches FF into milestone;
                                  milestone rebases onto main then FF.

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

# Build
make build

# Run
./bin/orca version
./bin/orca --help

# Initialize local state
./bin/orca init

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)
