Jon Chery eadd28fac0 fix(P01): release.sh cross-build amd64 + asset verification; install.sh fallback walk + --check
P01 — release/install pipeline fix (REQ-097, REQ-098; gate C-21).

release.sh (REQ-097):
- Cross-build linux-amd64 regardless of host arch (GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64
  go build, CGO_ENABLED=0). D-193: the host-arch build produced the wrong
  tarball when cut from arm64 — root cause of the v0.8.x asset-less
  releases.
- Hardcode tarball name to orca-${VERSION}-linux-amd64.tar.gz (not
  host-arch-dependent).
- Post-create asset verification (C-21): after tea releases create, query
  the Gitea API and assert the tarball appears in attachments. Retry once
  via tea release edit if missing. Fail loudly if still missing. This
  catches the tea CLI bug where create exits 0 without attaching the asset.

install.sh (REQ-098):
- Asset fallback walk: if the resolved release (latest or --version) lacks
  the matching tarball, query /releases?limit=50, extract all
  browser_download_urls from the list response (assets are inline), find
  the newest release with a matching orca-*-linux-amd64.tar.gz asset, print
  a WARNING, and use that release. Fixes the v0.4.5 install incident where
  v0.8.15 had no asset and install.sh errored out with no fallback.
- --check dry-run mode (D-194): prints version + asset URL + install path
  + current version without writing anything.

Tests (scripts/tests/):
- install_test.bash: 5 tests (--help, --check happy path, --check fallback
  walk, unknown arg rejection, --system root check).
- release_test.bash: 5 tests (script exists, syntax valid, cross-build
  command present, amd64 tarball name hardcoded, asset verification present).

All 30 bats tests pass. make lint clean (no new warnings).

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)
